Page A14: Carrie Lukas wrote to the Letter to the editor: " Women face unique challenges in society. But it's hardly empowering to wallow in the false notion that intractable discrimination condemns us to second-class earnings. The fact is, full-time working men spend more time in the office, take less time away from the workforce and accept more risk (men suffer 93% of workplace deaths) than full-time working women. These are the primary reasons for the gap.
Comment: She did not quote the source of 93% deaths. Reliable or otherwise? I wonder!
Page C7: Comics: PICKLES- Cartoon in the light vein with humor for all disciples of Mark Twain:-
The kid asks:"What's for dinner,Granma? Reply: "Someone once said,there are only two lasting gifts we can give to our children." "One is roots and the other is wings." The kid seems to understand by saying:"She says that whenever we're having carrots and KFC." It is a matter of perception and reception. A smile or lots of laughs?
Whether it is about dinner or global economic crisis,we try to get along with different types of folks to smooth our way to pitch ideas. Carrot or stick? KFC goes to China for Sino-American Economics of Business. BTW,I have been a Kentucky Colonel since 1970 but I am allergic to Chicken since a was a youngster with phobia developed when witnessing the slaughter in Shanghai.
I have the following reflection in Pin Yin system of romanization:
1.Zuo ba wang jiu,i.e. An octogenarian looking forward to be in 90s,
2.lai ri fang chang, i.e. Many more years to come,
3.bai shou qu jing, i.e. Obtaining knowledge and wisdom with white hair,
4.lao dang yi zhuang!i.e. Aging with robust body and clear mind. (hale and hearty)
Nian yu gu xi qi cheng qi,(Surpassing old age praying to be somebody;hai wai ku du pan shi ji+(Studying hard overseas for half a century plus);wang fan zu guo jian qing ren(Going back and forth-USA/China-visiting beloved folks),yan wang zi sun bu wang ben(the descendant of the Yellow Emperor would cherish his roots).
Rejuvenation at age 84 to continue my learning: In Pin Yin "Zhi wu zhi now(I feel I still have lots to learn" Such state of mind is set to endorse "Work and Study Cycle Theory" www.ask.com for implementation of learning knowledge and wisdom to age 100+ as centenarian-to-be. 16 more years to go! Go for it!
I hope the readers would see fit to agree with the above thoughts?!

American history and Chinese history in a nutshell
George Washington possessed physical energy, strength and stamina. He also placed significant emphasis on proper social bearing, appearance and conduct.
A leader must acquire a discipled and orderly mind - one accustomed to thinking hard as his body is inured to working hard for folks to emulate. He escaped moving his 9,000 troops across the East River under cover of darkness and heavy fog, leaving the British astonished.
Chairman Mao had similar encounters with KMT troops in Chinese history.
Washington and Mao appeared on the currencies in USA(One Dollar bill) and in China(RMB) as I have observed their accomplishment in politics with economics. Political economy is in action then and now!
February 26, 1962 President John F. Kennedy met Astronaut Lt. Col. John H. Glenn on Andrews AF base for a modified Joint Armed Services Honors Ceremony held in a hangar due to inclement weather.
We have inclement weather today,Feb.26, 2010 as well. I have also noticed Kennedy coins as a collector of metals with intrinsic value. Currencies are papers with confidence and metals have intrinsic value in philosophical context especially penny from the copper as known.
Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao on Feb.26, 2010 at 1.56 p.m.at Andrews AF Base to have such recollections to share with readers of Sino-American Economics.

Patriot Act in US and National Defense Mobilization Law in China et al
Washington Post, Feb. 26, 2010 page A8:
National Security: Patriot Act provisions extended by a year in USA to President Obama for his signature apropos of Anti-Terrorism operations.
On page A23: US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan published an article entitled "Investing in students, not the banks."
"A study of national postsecondary student aid found that in 2008, two-thirds of college seniors graduated with debt averaging more than $23,000. President Obama wants to eliminate the subsidy for banks and use that money to help poor and middle-class students and adults attend college. He also wants to strengthen community colleges, give grants to states that improve college completion rates."
"The Future of Community College." was published by the Congressional Record,July 18, 1974 as a vision of an economist to promote economic development from the grassroots in America.
www.Sina.com.Feb. 26, 2010: Details are given online and to be sent to President Hu for his signature as well.
Both nations are aware of the threat of terrorists in the global context in the days to come. Here is the common ground of USA/China as I have such thoughts to be shared with readers of Sino_American Economics.

Google has not left its China operations, saying it hopes to work things out et al
Washington Post, Feb. 25, 2010 on page A16:
The State Department quickly backed Google's decision, and Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton announced in a separate speech that the administration would fight for all global internet users to access the content of their choice.
Page 9 of Local Living in Metro Washington DC area: WELLNESS: Whip yourself into shape with the rope workout. Whipped!
It is one of the most popular classes in China as well. There is rope jumping in China.
Adequate sleep in important to maintain a clear mind with healthy body.
Moreover, food eating habits must be guarded e.g.1. lots of water such as plain, black tea and coffee. No sugar added but lots of fruit plus oatmeal,veggie,whole grains,beans,nuts plus the determination not to indulge much in sweets.

Jittery Shoppers Dim Hope for Recovery on page A1:-
Americans show little sign of regaining the confidence that once made the world-champion shoppers, and that caution has caused retailers leary about the prospects for the economy in 2010. Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 46.0 in February from 56.5 a month earlier, its lowerest point in 10 months.
However,shoppers in China are spending with zeal so PBOC has taken action to cool down the economy last week.
Such is an update of Sino-American Economics.

Energy: Common ground of USA/China
Washington Post, February 24, 2010 on page H2:
The TransAsian pipeline cost $6.7 billion to build and is the first gas pipeline out of the Caspian Region that runs east, linking Turkmenistan's massive gas basin with China's West-East Gas Pipeline. The pipeline will carry up to 40 billion cubic meters of gas by 2013, accounting for half of China's gas needs.
China's growing importance in the region has gotten the attention of the Kremlin: Prime Minister Putin signed a deal that promises to deliver 68 bcm a year to China through two new pipelines starting in Siberia.
Here is a good reference for readers re Sino-American Economics of Energy in globalization.

The Washington Times, Feb.23, 2010/USNWR March 2010
Page A1:
The longest, deepest global recession since the Great Depression ended last summer.(sic) For the final quarter of 2009 China and India reported strong growth and US said GDP rose at 5.7%. But the recoveries of Europe and in Japan have been tentative and halting, despite government stimulus spending.
US Stimulus equal to 4.8% of GDP followed by China 4.4%.
How to face a balancing act?
My rationale below is the same as I sent my past blogs: -
There are expansionary and recessionary gaps when Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply curves intersect in a Cross Model. There is no magic or pat answer to balancing the global economy as a whole.
"US News and World Report"(USNWR) March 2010 issue:
Page 66: New beginning for jobless Americans: Taking courses at a community college with a photo. Such is empirical evidence for the article: "The Future of Community College" published in the Congressional Record, July 18, 1974 with a vision in the 20th century for the role of community colleges in the 21st century.
Page 10: Those who think US can compete with China for windmill and solar cell manufacturing is living in a fantasy world due to labor rates.(sic)
Page 16: Americans with the best shot at getting ahead will have to find new ways to exploit their skills: To educate and to train oneself is to increase knowledge + wisdom. Moreover, Americans must live frugally with no-frill simplicity in the days to come as mentioned above.
How to squeeze dollars to save: e.g. starting at home to air dry clothes as folks in China would do instead of using dryer to save energy bills.Or using hands to wash clothes for exercising finger dexterity.(sic)
There are teaching opportunities but teachers need to have graduate degrees on page 67.
