Turpin offers insights into the priorities and operations of the Chinese Communist Party and explains why he is optimi stanley mug stic about the United States ability to compete with China s vision for the world. Highlights: China s strategic objectives: [W]hile I don t think that Beijing seeks to install the clone of the Chinese Communist Party in every country around the world, it doesn t want a system that confines or undermines Beijing s ability to achieve what it wants to do. So it s much more for them about themselves and that the rest of the world needs to get out of the way as opposed to making the rest of the world look like them. Beijing s ideological drive: It s really convenient for us to want to think that the communism of the Communist Party, the Soviet Union, has been relegated to the dustbin of history and that are our friends in Beijing have learned that that s not the way to go. But increasingly, it appears that that that language and that ideology infuses much of what the party says to itself.

Washington mdash; The Justice Department filed a federal lawsuit Thursday accusing Ticketmaster and its parent company Live Nation of illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry to the detriment of concertgoers and artists alike.In a 128-page civil suit filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, federal officials allege that Live Nation has illegally thwarted competition and unduly burdened consumers in part through its ownership of Ticketmaster, which effectively gives it control over much of the market for live entertainment.Justice Department officials said Thursday they are seeking structural changes to how the company does business, which could include breaking apart the two entities.

A day after making Joseph Wurzelbacher famous, referencing him in the debate stanley cup almost two dozen times as someone who w stanley cup ould pay higher taxes under Barack Obama, McCain learned the fine print Thursday on the plumberrsquo not-so-tidy personal story: He owes back taxes.

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that affirmative action in higher educationis unconstitutional, arguing that the race-conscious admission policies of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the Constitution. Both programs lack sufficiently focused and measurable objectives warranting the use of race, unavoidably employ race in a negative manner, involve racial stereotyping, and lack meaningful end points, Chief Justice John Roberts said in the majority opinion. We have never permitted admissions programs to work in that way, and we will not do so today. In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote that the majority opinion contradicts the vision of equality embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment. The court cements a superficial rule of colorblindness as a constitutional principle in an endemically segregated society where race has a stanley tumbler lways mattered and continues to matter, Sotomayor said.In response to the court s decision, Harvard said in a statement that it will comply with the new ruling, but stanley cup that it will need to stanley cup navigate how to preserve and uphold its essential values.
