Have a read of their: 'The World Cup and Economics 2006'. April 22 Wealth on the wingNobody paid any attension to China during economic recoveries in 1975, 1982 and 1991. But today, China, which rently became the world's FOURTH largest economy, has great significance both as a supplier of manufactured goods and a consumer of natural resources.

March 28 China to freely float its currencyU.S. Senator Charles Schumer visited Beijing last week with two other Washington lawmakers to push China to freely float its currency. He argues that it is undervalued and is driving up the $200 billion U.S. trade deficit with China. Schumer spoke about why he is behind legislation that would slap a 27.5% tariff on Chinese import to the U.S., and why he is encouraged by his meeings with mainland policymakers.
Quote1:
Q: Isn't threatening tariffs like holding a gun to the head of U.S. consumers and saying to China, "Hey, reform, or I will shoot!"?
A: -_@ ... Our bill is intended to get the leadership of both countries talking about this issue and coming up with a solution that both countries can live with.
Q: Is Beijing responding (bothered)?
A: (Not really) Now the question for both the American government and the Chinese government is not 'if' but 'when'. That's a major change.
Comments: I personally predicted that the Chinese Yuan would have a further boost at around 5% later this year, although JPMorgan had recently released a report with a even higher growth rate. March 26 秋怀诗，两首大叶下如雨，西风吹我衣。天地气一肃，回头万事非
虚舟无抵件，恩怨召杀机。年年绊物累，俯仰邻诟讥。 终然学黄鹤，浩荡沧溟飞。 蟋蟀吟西轩，商声方兹始。小人快一鸣，得时一如此 大泽藏蛰龙，严冬卧不起。明岁泽九州，功成返湫底 吾道恶多言，喧嚣空复尔。 劝学少年易老学难成，
一寸光阴不可轻。
未觉池塘春草梦，
阶前梧气已秋声。
March 04 Imperial College London
Imperial College was founded in 1907, with the merger of the City and Guilds of London Institute, the Royal School of Mines and the Royal College of Science (all of which had been founded between 1845 and 1878) and these entities continued to exist as constituent colleges. It was granted a Royal Charter in July 1907. The expansion of the South Kensington campus in the 1960s absorbed the site of the former Imperial Institute, designed by Thomas Colcutt, of which only the 287-foot (85-metre) high Queen's Tower remains among the more modern buildings. In 2003, the college was granted degree-awarding powers in its own right by the Privy Council. As exercising this power would be incompatible with remaining in the federal University of London, on 9 December 2005 Imperial announced that it was beginning negotiations to withdraw from the University. It is anticipated that the college will become independent in time for its centenary celebrations in 2007. The first batch of students to get the Imperial College degree would start studies in 2008, but all current students would be offered the option of choosing whether they want a London degree or an Imperial degree. Imperial College graduates have the highest average starting salaries among British graduates. According to The Sunday Times 2004 table, the average starting salary for Imperial graduates was £24,247.
