AT THE WOLONG RESERVE: Panda relocated after China's earthquake gives birth to twin cubs

Guo Guo was the first panda to give birth since the 7.9-magnitude quake that rocked the Sichuan province on 12 May, killing nearly 70-thousand people and leaving five million homeless.

Only seven pandas remain at China's most famous breeding center, after a final group of 13 animals were transferred from the earthquake-damaged facility, an official said Tuesday.

Thirteen giant pandas from the quake-struck Wolong Panda center in China were relocated to the base to avoid threats from potential geological disasters after the May 12 earthquake. Six giant pandas were transported to the Bifengxia base.

International Companies Require China-Specific Patent Strategies

Shanghai, China – May 22, 2008: China, one of the world’s largest and most promising markets, has seen a 20 percent annual increase in patent application filings over the last fifteen years.

China Has Largest On-Line Population

Smivs writes "China now has the world's largest net-using population, say official figures. More than 253 million people in the country are now online, according to statistics from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC). About 95% of those going online connect via high-speed links. Take up of broadband has been boosted by deals offered by China's fixed line phone firms as they fight to win customers away from mobile operators. Despite having a greater number of people online, China's net economy still has a long way to go to match or exceed that of the US or even that of South Korea. Figures from Analysis International said China's net firms reported total revenues of $5.9bn (£2.96bn) in 2007. By contrast net advertising revenue alone for US firms in 2007 stood at $21.

Birth certificate "painter" mocks Obama claim that image proves authenticity

with the Daily Kos -- the blog site that published the supposedly authentic Barack Hussein Obama birth certificate and his own birth certificate manipulations in the same June 12 post, Jay McKinnon, aka opendna, says he manipulated the Obama birth certificate to create a blank Hawaii birth certificate as a "template," supposedly for a John McCain birth certificate. But he says it was not an attempt at deception but a "lame joke" that he now regrets.

Lights, Camera, Earthquake?

Just 30 minutes before the earthquake that killed tens of thousands in the Chinese province of Sichuan in May, local video footage captured on a cell phone revealed rainbow lights in the clouds. Some have identified the lights as merely a circumhorizontal arc-an unusual, horizontal rainbow refracting through ice crystals in cirrus clouds. Others, however, consider the light show an example of "earthquake lights," a scientifically unproven indicator of a coming earthquake. The theory behind earthquake lights is that seismic activity sends ultrasonic waves through mineral deposits in the earth's crust. These waves react with water molecules in the sky to produce a rainbow effect in clouds. The scientific evidence for this is dubious at best. That said, earthquake lights are just one of a number of anecdotal methods for predicting quakes, an

China Realizes It Doesn't Need To Block All Of iTunes

Following last week's news that China was blocking access to the iTunes store in response to a Tibet protest album that some Olympic athletes had apparently downloaded, it appears that China's Great Firewall experts have figured out ways to block on a per album basis. Yes, iTunes is now available again in China -- but that particular album remains off limits. Of course, you would think that if China had simply ignored the issue altogether, it would have received a lot less press. But that doesn't exactly seem to be how they think about things in the Chinese government these days.

China Blocks iTunes Over Songs For Tibet Album

We hope our Olympians fully-stocked their iPods before going to Beijing as China has reportedly cut off access to iTunes. As the story goes, China got wind that people there were using Apple’s music service to download the The Art of Peace Foundation’s Songs for Tibet compilation, featuring tracks by Alanis Morissette, Sting, Moby and 17 more artists. Profits from the album are being used to support “peace-related projects that are dear to the Dalai Lama.� As everyone already knows, China doesn’t take to kindly to people trying to free their Tibet. Exacerbating matters was the announcement that over 40 athletes at the Games had downloaded the compilation. Thus, the Great Firewall of China (we wish we can take credit for penning that) started restricting access to iTunes on Monday.
