US Christian group leaves airport after standoff
The Olympics have long been a showcase of worldwide athletic competition. Traditionally, Olympians were granted safe passage to attend the games and conflicts were halted during the games. I cannot pretend to understand the reasoning behind which city is chosen to host the games by the International Olympic Committee. Unless you … (8 comments)

I so enjoyed the pageantry and excitement of the opening ceremony last night. The blend of ancient China with its modern emphasis on our world was fabulous. Even though I am one who supports "Buy American", we cannot deny the economical influence the Chinese have on our society.
Let the games begin. I suppose most everyone say at least some of the festivities presented by the Chinese in Beijing to introduce the Olympic games of 2008... Guess everyone was impressed so far...
The BIG DAY is finally here! 888 What a ceremony that was tonight in Beijing. It was greatto see the all the athletes with smiling faces, the world becoming ONE on this night. What a colorful, one of a kind event this was. The way the Chinese prepared and worked hard to … (3 comments)
Today China is on center stage as hosts of the Olympics.
The other day, I was at a signing, and my advertising pen stopped working. My client made the comment, it must have been made in China. Truth is, it was made there. But it really made me wonder a few things. Obviously our country thinks anything made there is of an inferior … (10 comments)
Oh yes...the Olympics are nearing. The great world competition of youth competing athletically from all around the world and it dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans thousands of years ago.

I heard on the news this morning that the victims of the earthquake has risen to 32,000. They say that the victims could actually be up to 80,000!
WOW, I am feeling so horrible for the mother's and father's the parents, the grandparent's and the people who are suffering through the recent Earthquake in China.
My heart really goes out to the people in China. I can't even imagine what they must have went through. So many still lost and the death count rising every minute. I myself am saying a silent prayer for them and I really do hope others will join in and say … (0 comments)
Many folks have written about business successes gleaned from blogging, here on ActiveRain and on outside blogs.
I, and most of my friends and neighbors, have a common bond with the citizens of Beijing China. Both Beijing and Atlanta share the privilege of being Olympic sister cities.

I've been following the news stories regarding the protests during the Olympic Flame torch relays in London, Paris and today in San Francisco. Essentially, the protests are by people opposed to China's occupation and annexation of Tibet (my understanding). There are other groups protesting about China's poor record on human rights.
Protesters opposing a security drive in Tibet and demanding the mountain region's independence turned Sunday's London leg of the torch's journey into an obstacle course of angry disruptions - not what China wanted for its "journey of harmony". In the end, the police were forced to rush the Olympic torch onto … (15 comments)
This is fascinating and I'm about to say something many readers will find quite controversial. It might even anger some of you. I believe it is a reality and can help us understand how to control our destiny. 
I see seven reasons why the mortgage and credit crisis is not as bad as some seem to believe ...
I find George Will to be an entertaining writer - conservative, frequent user of sports metaphors. But I feature a George Will article today from Townhall.com for a different reason.

There have been so many news stories this week that it is hard to pick one to write about. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of our invasion of Iraq. The stock market has had another big week of losses and gains. Severe flooding continues in the mid-west. The list goes on and on.
On an interesting note I was in China in the Fall of '05. I headed up a trade delegation from the State of Oregon with some Environmental Business folks and an aspiring politician running for State Legislature. The EPA of sorts catered to our group as we were there to team … (13 comments)

The Wal-Mart Phenomena is interesting. Wal-Mart today is the biggest supplier of goods to the American People, it is the biggest employer and could be said to be the distribution system for the Nation.

Recently I was going to write a story about Century 21's presences in China and about Remax's endeavors to became established but then I received this from a friend who resides in Shawano who is now working in China and thought it was quite interesting.
I know some of you are going to disagree and probably argue about this but we really need to stop lowering the federal funds rate, and here's why.
This year I decided that I would give my kids a fabulous, NOT MADE IN CHINA Christmas. How hard can it be to find things they like made in the USA? Well, it is difficult, not because those items aren't out there, but because many retailers don't stock them. I plan … (5 comments)
Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of traveling to China with my wife and visiting her parents. It's always fascinating to go to countries so much older than ours and so rich with history; you always learn something new.

I just amazes me how toys that are harmful to children even make it into the market. Im referring to the latest toy (Aqua Dots) that was found to contain the powerful date rape drug in it when ingested. Why on earth are these toy makers not catching these problems during a … (1 comments)

Now imagine that your transfer brings you and your family … (0 comments)
They poison our food. They poison our toys. They even poison our pets’ food. You don’t have to be an economist to hate our relationship with China. It just toxic. Sorry, to be so blunt but that’s the way it is.
That's right, Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world now has less garlic. A shame really. The biggest grower used to have 40 acres of the stuff. I live in the next town to the north and even way up here we can often smell the stuff. I did notice that … (6 comments)
