Bird Flu Spreads Human-to-Human, Admit Chinese Authorities
Posted: at 7:41 am
The Chinese authorities on Jan. 27 acknowledged for the first time that they have discovered cases of human-to-human infection with the H7N9 bird flu, while remaining vague on the details in an attempt to prevent public panic.
In a short statement on Jan. 27, the authorities said that human-to-human transmission was recorded in eastern Chinas Zhejiang Province. They do not specify the number of cases, nor the city in which they took place.
The H7N9 Joint Prevention and Control Office said the infection or infections took place under particular conditions and are non-sustained transmissions, meaning that it is not expected to spread from those incidents.
The case or cases in Zhejiang would be the first time that human-to-human transmission has been officially acknowledged by the authorities since H7N9, a new avian influenza, was first recorded in China in March 2013.
Experts at the China Center of Disease Control, however, said it was just a special case, and human-to-human transmission of H7N9 is not yet very widespread.
The public has no need to panic too much, said Xinhua, the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party.
Zhejiang has a bad record with H7N9 infections: it has recorded 49 diagnosed cases and 12 deaths this month, the latest official report says.
A newly released Treatment Scheme of Human Infection with H7N9 Bird Flu by Chinas Health and Family Planning Commission also now lists limit and non-sustained human-to-human infection as one of the ways in which the H7N9 virus may be transmitted.
More common transmission mechanisms include infection through the respiratory tract, through close contact with secretions or excretions of infected birds, and through contact with the infected environment.
Despite the authorities attempts at damage control in emphasizing the limited nature of human-to-human transmission, the news still came as highly unwelcome to the public. Many individuals posting on the Internet said they would avoid eating poultry, in order to protect themselves from contracting the virus. (Though it does not spread from the consumption of chicken meat.)

U.S. Nominee for China Post Promises Human Rights Agenda
Posted: at 7:41 am
Sen. Max Baucus, President Barack Obamas nominee to be the next U.S. ambassador to China, vowed Tuesday to make human rights a cornerstone of his agenda if he wins Senate confirmation to take on the high-profile diplomatic mission for the administration.
The six-term Montana Democrat told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee the U.S. represents an island of freedom around the world, and he would ensure human rights issues are a top priority in his dealings with China.
Protection of human rights is probably the bedrock, fundamental goal, Mr. Baucus told the committee, which is expected to vote on his nomination next Tuesday.
If confirmed, Mr. Baucus will head to Beijing as the U.S. is shifting its military, political and economic priorities towards Asia in an effort to counter Chinas expanding influence around the world. Mr. Baucus, who announced last April that he would not run for re-election this year, was nominated by Mr. Obama in December.
Senators on the Foreign Relations Committee, several of whom have worked closely with Mr. Baucus for years, generally treated the nominee with deference, an indication he is likely to be confirmed by the committee.
The most pointed questioning came from Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), who expressed concern about comments from Mr. Baucus that he wanted to embrace constructive engagement in his relations with China.
The role China is playing in Asia today should be of great concern to all of us, Mr. McCain told the nominee, who warned Mr. Baucus that he would have problems representing American interests if he didnt recognize the threat that China poses to global peace and security.
I dont disagree with you, Mr. Baucus replied. The overarching goal is for us as a country, I think, is to engage China with eyes wide open, to try to find common ground.
Mr. Baucus has traveled to China eight times in the last 50 years, from his days as a college student hitchhiking around Asia to his official visits as a U.S. senator. He has dealt with the economic issues facing the U.S. and China, but has less experience in the military issues between the two countries.
At one point during Tuesdays hearing, Mr. Baucus professed that he is no real expert on China, an admission one of his aides described as a moment of humility.

Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall expansion arrives February 27
Posted: at 7:40 am
Fans eager to return to the cyberpunk noir futurism of Shadowrun Returns will be happy to hear that developer Harebrained Schemes has finally nailed down a release date for the game's first official expansion: February 27.
Titled "Dragonfall," the expansion ditches the rain-slicked streets of Seattle in favor of a wholly new tale set in a futuristic Berlin. Instead of continuing the story of the characters seen in Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall introduces a new team of street samurai, deckers and magic users. Not much is known of the expansion's plot, but it has been revealed that the titular "Dragonfall" is an ominous event foretold in prophecy that threatens to destroy Berlin in apocalyptic fashion.
When it debuts on February 27, Dragonfall will feature a $15 price tag. That may seem steep for an addition to a $20 game, but beyond the Dragonfall campaign the expansion also includes a swath of new weapons and items, additions to the game's content editing suite and, most crucially, the ability to save your game whenever you please. For more information, visit Harebrained Schemes' website.

Audiences have compared Glens speaking to Alvin Toffler for the scope of his vision, Jeremy Rifkin for his depth of analysis, and to James Burke for his style of presentation.
In Sochi, Russia
In this keynote Glen offers a sweeping and entertaining overview of the key trend areas shaping the next decade and beyond: demographics, technology, the knowledge-based economy, and the next energy revolution. The predictable but often surprising nature of the future is explored. Listeners are challenged both to wake up to the future and to take the creation of a preferred future into their own hands. Specific developments that are noted, depending on customization to the audience, may include telepresence, nanotechnology, 3D communication and entertainment, consumer and brand trends, the real situation with oil and energy, aging and youth demographic trends, confronting the great divides in society, environmental challenges and green business opportunities, and biotech advances that offer the hope of longer and healthier lives. This speech inspires listeners to develop successful strategic leadership and to create the future. Full of surprises, this customizable keynote offers a balanced view of the future, and a hopeful vision for the rest of the 21st Century.
Glen Speaks at Carter Center, Atlanta
This is a keynote focused on moving beyond the economic collapse of recent years. In 2006 and 2007 Glen was one of the early voices to warn of an impending economic crisis, more than a year before it happened. Now encourages audiences to look forward and the possibilities are far greater than most people imagine. Glen reviews the key trends shaping the next several decades, as we deal with the global economic re-set. He suggests that a new vision for a preferred future will emerge based on revised values, innovation, the network effects of advanced communication, and new technology. No field of enterprise, no nation, no community is unaffected by the changes which are happening, and all can create new opportunities. By acting wisely now you can lead your enterprise to a future that is more sustainable, of higher quality, and happier than what has come before. Glen believes that we have a rare opportunity to create a world that works, but we have to get really smart and really courageous in the coming decade. The future can be a new renaissance, if we are willing to think in the future tense.

Following seven other national presentations this month, global futurist Jack Uldrich will address this years United Ag Conference, as their keynote speaker on January 30th.
