It depends whether or not they are LUCKY.? Hens on a mass production egg farm can expect an unpleasant one or two year lifespan before they are brutally slaughtered.? Not a rosy picture, but wait, it?s even worse if a chicken hatches as a rooster. He will be granted only five or six months before his life also comes to a screeching halt.? One may be somewhat luckier than the other? but quite frankly I?m not sure which one.
Backyard chickens can live eight to ten years in an ideal situation. Meaning, quality grub, green fixin?s, fresh water, shelter, and space to exercise their instinctual behaviors. Of course there are always chickens with that special? gusto for life who continue scratching in the dirt far beyond the norm.
The older a hen gets the less eggs she lays. Her production cycle may even cease altogether. But this is just a part of their change of life, same as ours. Chickens grow old, but? but let?s not overlook their other valuable ageless contributions. They provide an endless amount of fertilizer for your garden, eat ticks, flies, mosquitoes, and the creepy crawlers that destroy the foliage in your yard. Chickens are hard workin? bug eating machines that are quite happy to earn their keep?? at every stage of their life.
Dual purpose chickens are classified as birds raised for meat and eggs, seems to me the definition is lacking another option.

In the days of the Soviet Union a tourist in Moscow could pay for his or her entire trip by selling a suitcase full of smuggled Levi's jeans. Now, one could make substantially more sneaking a handbag full of the latest Apple products into Russia.
In this image conscious city, where Bentleys are so common that many owners simply curb park them, plenty of people are willing to plunk down some serious cash to be among the first in the country with the latest device.
The hot item this week is the new Apple iPhone 5, which went on sale around the world today. Apple does not have a store in Russia, however, and the company has not announced a release date for Russia. That hasn't stopped a number of enterprising individuals from purchasing them elsewhere and bringing them into the country.
A simple internet search yields a number of gray market vendors promising to have the iPhone 5 in your hands as early as tonight. But it's going to cost you.
A 16 gigabyte iPhone 5 is going for around 70,000 rubles, or about $2,200. Other vendors are quoting prices up to $3,700. That's several times what it will cost you in an Apple store in the United States, where an unlocked version retails for $649.
When ABC News called several of the vendors, each promised to deliver the device by Saturday. Several said they expected a shipment to be flown in tonight.
Asked when he could deliver an iPhone 5, one vendor who only identified himself as Dima replied confidently: "Tomorrow." He promised to have any of the phone's variations, either black or white and in any of the three sizes available. "Cash only," he said.
The vendors say they're getting overwhelmed by calls asking for the iPhone 5, outpacing demand for the new iPad when it was released earlier this year.
Another vendor named Victor say his phones are coming from France. Others said their first shipment is also coming from France, with more expected from the United States later in the week.
Each vendor insisted they were operating legally, but wouldn't say if they had paid import duties to bring them into the country. Victor said his shop would offer a two week replacement guarantee on the phones, along with the one year warranty provided by Apple. Others said it was not possible to come see the devices in person because they did not have a physical store.
The iPhone 5 uses a nano SIM card, smaller than the micro SIM used in previous models, but it appears that Russian phone companies have anticipated the phone arriving in country before it officially goes on sale. One of them promises to have nano SIM cards available by Saturday. Other companies are planning to have them available by Tuesday. One of the internet vendors also said he could produce a nano SIM card in his shop.
Even before the iPhone 5 came out, smugglers have made good money bringing in the latest devices from the United States and Europe. For example the previous Apple phone, the iPhone 4S, is available from telephone companies for just under 30,000 rubles, which is a shade under $1,000. That device also sold for $649 in the United States before today, providing a healthy profit margin for anyone willing to sneak one into the country.

ScienceDaily (Sep. 20, 2012) ? If two birds meet deep in the forest, does anybody hear? Until now, nobody did, unless an intrepid biologist was hiding underneath a bush and watching their behavior, or the birds happened to meet near a research monitoring station. But an electronic tag designed at the University of Washington can for the first time see when birds meet in the wild.
A new study led by a biologist at Scotland's University of St. Andrews used the UW tags to see whether crows might learn to use tools from one another. The findings, published last week in Current Biology, supported the theory by showing an unexpected amount of social mobility, with the crows often spending time near birds outside their immediate family.
The study looked at crows in New Caledonia, an archipelago of islands in the South Pacific. The crows are famous for using different tools to extract prey from deadwood and vegetation. Biologists wondered whether the birds might learn by watching each other.
The results, as reported by St. Andrews, revealed "a surprising number of contacts" between non-related crows. During one week, the technology recorded more than 28,000 interactions among 34 crows. While core family units of New Caledonian crows contain only three members, the study found all the birds were connected to the larger social network.
The new paper is the first published study using the UW tags to record animal social interactions.
"This is a new type of animal-tracking technology," said co-author Brian Otis, a UW associate professor of electrical engineering whose lab developed the tags. "Ecology is just one of the many fields that will be transformed with miniaturized, low-power wireless sensors."
Biologists normally tag animals with radio transmitters that broadcast at a particular frequency, and field researchers use a receiver to listen for that frequency and detect when the animal is present. An encounter between small animals would only be recorded if the researcher was nearby.
The UW system, called Encounternet, uses programmable digital tags that can send and receive pulses.
"Encounternet tags can monitor each other, so you can use them to study interactions among animals," said co-author John Burt, a UW affiliate professor of electrical engineering. "You can't even start to do that with other radio-tracking technology."
Other research groups are using the UW tags around the world. Researchers at the University of Windsor in Canada are using them to study mating behavior in Costa Rican long-tailed manikins; a researcher at Drexel University is using them to study the interaction between birds and army ants in Costa Rica; German researchers are putting the tags on sea lions in the Galapagos Islands to study their behavior as they pull up on beaches; and researchers in the Netherlands are studying the social behavior of great tits, a small woodland bird. "It's a big topic right now, the idea that animals have social networks," Burt said. He has been working with field biologists for the last three years to deploy the tags.
"There are other tags that can do proximity logging, but they're all very big and for larger animals. None is as small as Encounternet -- or even near to it."
The smallest of the UW tags weighs less than 1 gram (0.035 ounces) and can be used on animals as light as 20 grams (less than an ounce), about the weight of a sparrow.
Researchers attach the tags to birds with straps that degrade and harmlessly fall off after the battery dies. The tag records nearby pulses, and the signal strength gives an estimate of the other animal's distance.
A typical study using the system includes a few dozen tags and between 10 and 100 fixed base stations. When tagged animals pass a base station the data is transmitted wirelessly from the tag to the base station, and from there to the Internet. Researchers can also reprogram the tags remotely -- for example, they can look at initial results to see when there are few encounters happening, and turn the battery off during those times to conserve power.
Burt completed his doctorate at the UW in 2000, with a dissertation on birdsong communication and learning. He wished that there was a way to automatically monitor bird interactions in the wild, and in 2005 joined forces with Otis, an expert in small, lightweight, low-power electronics. Burt managed the project to develop the tags, with funding from the National Science Foundation, as a research scientist in Otis' group. This fall they founded Encounternet LLC in Portland, Ore., where Burt now lives. He is working to add a GPS component to record the location of encounters, and to add an accelerometer and other sensors that could detect an animal's behavior.
"People are excited about this because for the first time, it allows them to study smaller animal interactions and social networks on an incredibly fine scale," Burt said. "Social networks are turning out to be key to understanding many animal behaviors. People say Encounternet is the only thing they can find that can collect that information."

PARIS AND NEW YORK, September 20, 2012 - Sanofi (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY) and the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development (TB Alliance) announced today a new research collaboration agreement to accelerate the discovery and development of novel compounds against tuberculosis (TB), a deadly infectious disease that resulted in almost 1.5 million deaths worldwide1 in 2010.
Under the agreement, Sanofi and TB Alliance will collaborate to further optimize and develop several novel compounds in Sanofi's library that have demonstrated activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes TB. This includes in-depth research of lead compounds based upon identified chemical derivatives of natural products, which have promising potential to treat all forms of TB, and the chemical optimization of other series of compounds that have been identified as "hits" through high-throughput screening.
"Sanofi's long-standing commitment to delivering treatments for people living with tuberculosisincluding the discovery of rifampicin, the gold-standard drug for tuberculosis treatment, as well as the manufacture of TB treatmentscontinues with this collaboration," said Elias Zerhouni, M.D., President, Global R&D, Sanofi. "By continuing our excellent partnership with the TB Alliance and leveraging our joint resources, we hope to find together new options to fight this dreaded global disease."
"In working with Sanofi, we seek a common goalto give patients and physicians significantly more effective treatments for TB and drug-resistant TB," said Mel Spigelman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, TB Alliance. "Without new regimens, we cannot stop this global pandemic."
In 2010, TB affected nearly 9 million people2 globally. The cost of diagnosing and treating these cases between 2009 and 2015 was estimated at U.S. $16.9 billion, with annual costs increasing from $700 million in 2009 to $4.4 billion in 2015.3 Current TB treatments require patients to take multiple antibiotics for six to 24 months or longer4, a treatment that is difficult for many patients to complete, leading to noncompliance. Noncompliance can result in the development of drug-resistant strains, such as multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) or extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), or death.5 In fact, a recent Lancet study led by Tracy Dalton from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates XDR-TB has been reported in 77 countries worldwide and MDR-TB and XDR-TB are both at higher levels than previously estimated.6 The health consequences of TB and reported increases in MDR-TB and XDR-TB, along with increasing treatment costs, underscore the urgent need for new, better, faster-acting treatments.

Get to know your Golden Hawks
Hailing from Victoria, B.C., receiver Alex Anthony of the Golden Hawks football team began his successful career in football in a rather unconventional way. "When I was seven years-old, I got a really bad sunburn on my shoulders. I had to have these wide pads on my shoulders and I was watching the Lions-Bombers game." explains Anthony. "I wanted to play football after that because I had the 'same' shoulder pads on." Despite his unusual introduction, this Golden Hawks' natural affinity for athletics came naturally. "Growing up I was busy all the time - trying to juggle all the sports [I played] together. ?My mom would be driving me to basketball practice in the morning, then after school Id have track, and then baseball - it was one thing after another. I just loved always having something to do," adding, "I never got into video games. If I had time to play video games then I had time to go outside and play sports." Nevertheless, it was the adrenaline of football that solidified his fondness for the game. "I love sports, but I found football most exciting because you're constantly active," said Anthony.?
Unlike most athletes who are introduced to their sport by friends or relatives, Anthony paid his dues. "I didn't really know anyone when I started playing football. But my Great Uncle was the quarterback of the Edmonton Eskimos back in the 1920s," said the athlete. With that said, Anthony found inspiration from his first football coach, explaining "he was my coach from the third grade up until high school and I just learned so much from him, especially about discipline." Anthony's dedication to football at a young age went unquestioned; he went the distance to attend the only high school that offered a football program. "Growing up, the only high school that offered football was an hour and a half away from me, so I commuted every day for four years. It was terrible - I had to be up at five o'clock for a paper route - but it was worth every single minute," revealed the CIS East-West Bowl attendee.?
Combined with his strict discipline, Anthony's talent began garnering the attention of various coaches. "After my 11th grade season, I started to get recognized by coaches. It was after my 12th grade season that I started getting a bunch of e-mails - one of them was from Coach Jefffies [of Laurier]," said Anthony, going on to explain, "I hadn't heard much about Laurier but when I came here for my first visit, Coach Pyear and Coach Jeffries were there right after I got off my plane in Kitchener. The hospitality extended to his experience while on campus," describing, "I felt a special connection right away. The atmosphere of the campus and the people here...it reminded me of home - just that small family feel which I'm used to." ?Ever since his visit to Laurier all the way from British Columbia, Anthony knew his fate." I visited countless other schools after visiting Laurier but I didn't experience that same connection that I did here. I knew at the back of my mind that this is where I wanted to go."?
The transition from a small town to a university town initially came as a shock to Anthony. "I was homesick a little bit, but with my dad being an ex-pilot, my parents came to every game in my first year which was pretty cool. I may have been far from home but I felt very at home," he said. Anthony's experience as a varsity athlete proved successful, winning the 2009/2010 Team Rookie of the Year, not to mention having had played for the province, country, and Team World previously. However, in January of 2011 Anthony hit a roadblock. "I tore my ACL in our first winter practice which was devastating. ?I ended up missing an all-star game back in Texas (Team World vs. USA)," stated Anthony, revealing, "Last year was really rough for me mentally and physically, being so far from home and not being able to play the sport you love. You try and stay positive as much as you can but there were those days when I was down on myself because I thought my football career was done. It tested my mental strength."
Anthony is a veteran this upcoming season and is hoping to make a comeback following his injury. "I've been working way harder than I have before because once you have a bad injury like that you realize how special the game is and how quickly it can end. So since surgery I have been rehabilitating like crazy - I'm stronger and faster," he said. Anthony intends on taking on a leadership role towards the incoming rookies, determined to restore pride to the Golden Hawks football team. "There's been a lot of hype about our team but we haven't lived up to the hype. This season's team is a very young team and we will be the underdogs. But I think we will do well considering how much talent we have on the team," adding, "I will try and be more vocal [as a leader] this year, especially being in my fourth year - it's part of the job description."
Whatever Anthony chooses to pursue after graduation, Laurier and its football program will always remain close to him. "I still have one, maybe two years, left but just being part of this family for the past four years I see how special days like Homecoming are, so wherever I am in the future I will always come back and support the school."

Children and adults scavenge for recyclables and other usable items around a garbage truck at a dump on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
By Michael B. Sauter, Alexander E. M. Hess & Samuel Weigley, 24/7 Wall St.
According to 2011 data released recently by the U.S. Census Bureau, 15 percent of individuals in the United States live below the poverty line. While down from 15.1?percent last year, it remains statistically unchanged and near a record high. Today, more than 46 million people live in poverty in America, more than at any point in the country?s history.
However, compared to the poorest countries in the world, the poverty rate in the U.S. is relatively modest. In some countries, the poverty rate is more than five times the U.S. current figures. In Haiti, the highest in the world, 77 percent?of residents live in poverty. Based on data from the World Bank, 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 countries with the highest poverty rates.
24/7 Wall St.: America's worst companies to work for
The presence of extreme poverty usually coincides with significant obstacles, including limited resources, disease, famine and war. 24/7 Wall St. analyzed how the most impoverished nations ranked in several key areas ranging from level of peace to economic stability, health and education. The poorest countries consistently performed poorly in nearly every case.
Educational attainment and literacy rates are particularly low in these countries. While adult literacy figures were unavailable for many of these nations, those that have reported data were among the worst in the world. In several cases, less than half of eligible children were enrolled in primary education (the equivalent of elementary and middle school). In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, among the poorest countries, less than a third of the relevant population was enrolled in primary education. By comparison, in the United States, nearly 95 percent?were.
Health and healthy decisions are often ignored in these countries. In the 10 nations with the highest poverty rates, HIV prevalence is extremely high. Five of the eight countries for which data are available were in the top 25 (out of more than 200 countries) for HIV cases among people 15 to 49. These include Zimbabwe, which has the fifth-highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate at 14.3?percent, and Swaziland, which has the highest recorded rate at 25.9 percent. In the U.S., the rate is 0.78?percent.
Life expectancy, not surprising, is also very low. In the U.S., a person born today is projected to live to the age of 78.2. In each of these countries, life expectancy is less than 60 years. In four of these countries, the average resident will not live to see 50.
24/7 Wall St.: 10 brands that will disappear in 2013
24/7 Wall St. relied on World Bank data for the percentage of residents who are living below their national poverty lines. Data were only available for 112 developing nations. In addition, we considered GDP per capita, gross domestic product, HIV/AIDS prevalence, life expectancy, unemployment, infant mortality and primary school enrollment -- all from the World Bank. Where current data were not available, data from the most recent available year were used. We also relied on the U.S. Department of State and the Central Intelligence Agency?s World Factbook for additional information on these countries, including the presence of armed conflict and recent natural disasters.
These are the poorest countries in the world.
1. Haiti
The World Bank notes that more than half of Haiti?s population lives on less than $1 a day, while about 80?percent of the country lives on less than $2 a day. The country?s estimated unemployment rate as of 2010 was 40.6?percent. The impoverished nation is in a state of rebuilding since a devastating earthquake hit the country in 2010. According to a USAID report, the death toll from the earthquake was between 46,000 and 85,000, while the official figure by the Haitian government estimated the death toll at 316,000. The World Bank estimates that damages from earthquake totaled $8 billion, or about 120?percent?of gross domestic product.
2. Equatorial Guinea
Oddly enough, the country with the second-highest poverty rate in the world has a GDP per capita of $27,478, well above the average worldwide figure of $10,034. However, while extraction of oil and gas has led to economic growth, most of Equatorial Guinea?s population still relies on subsistence farming. The government has been criticized for the mismanagement of its revenue from energy resources. The health and well-being of its citizens would support the critique. Despite its oil wealth, the nation is among the worst countries in the world for life expectancy, at just 50.8 years, and for primary education enrollment, at just 56.3?percent of the relevant population.
3. Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has effectively had one leader, Robert Mugabe, since it became a sovereign nation in 1980. Mugabe?s tenure has been marked by a violent land redistribution program that has harmed agriculture -- a sector that has served as a source of exports and jobs for the nation. Until 2009, Zimbabwe also experienced a problem with hyperinflation. One dollar was worth 9,686.9 Zimbabwean dollars in 2007 and a stunning 430,972.7 Zimbabwean dollars in 2008. In 1993, the nation's poverty rate was just under 35?percent of the population. Since then, the poverty rate has more than doubled to 72 percent.
24/7 Wall St.: States losing the most jobs to China
4. Congo (Democratic Republic)
The Congo has suffered from corruption and conflict in the past 15 years that have ?dramatically reduced national output and government revenue, increased external debt, and resulted in the deaths of more than 5 million people from violence, famine and disease,? according to the CIA World Factbook. The agency notes that while mining growth has helped boost the country?s economy, much of its economic activity still takes place in the informal sector, which is not counted in GDP statistics. Health and education are very poor in the country. Out of 1,000 children born, 111.7 will die before their first birthday, which is the highest rate in the world except for Sierra Leone. Primary school enrollment of just slightly over 33 percent is the second worst in the world.
5. Swaziland
A number of factors combine to limit Swaziland?s economic growth, including an over-reliance on exports to South Africa. In addition, the country?s workforce is largely concentrated in subsistence agriculture, even though the country faces serious concerns about overgrazing and soil depletion. While these factors harm the nation?s economy, health concerns are likely one of the major factors preventing Swaziland?s population from escaping poverty. Few nations have a lower life expectancy at birth than Swaziland, where the average person is expected to live just 48.3 years. One of the reasons for the low life expectancy is the high prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS among those 15 to 49 -- at 25.9?percent it is the highest in the world.

LOS ANGELES |
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The space shuttle Endeavour always had plenty of elbow room while soaring around Earth. But to make way for its slow 12-mile (19-km)journey through city streets next month to its final destination at a Los Angeles museum, some trees must fall.
Clearing an unobstructed route for the retired spaceship to take from Los Angeles International Airport to the California Science Center will require cutting down nearly 400 trees in all, and the temporary removal of hundreds of utility poles, street lights and traffic signals, officials say.
But the science center, which is organizing the two-day move, promises to plant 1,000 new trees in place of those taken down. It also has vowed to keep traffic problems to a minimum and avoid disruption of electricity and other utility services.
"It's quite an endeavor," science center president Jeffrey Rudolph said of the project. He told Reuters planning began the day after his museum was chosen in April 2011 as one of four permanent venues for NASA's newly decommissioned space shuttles.
Nothing like it has ever been moved through city streets.
The 75-ton spaceship stretches 122 feet in length, measures 78 feet from wingtip to wingtip and will stand more than five stories tall, lying on its belly on a special rolling platform that will carry it at an average speed of a mile an hour.
The transport vehicle, which can turn at sharp angles, is "driven" via remote control by an operator who walks beside it, Rudolph said. The work is estimated to cost about $10 million and is being paid for through donations.
"This is a national treasure," he said. "It's not just moving something through the streets. It's moving something that will inspire children and adults of all ages."
Added to the shuttle fleet after Challenger was destroyed by an accidental explosion that killed seven astronauts in 1986, Endeavour has flown 25 missions and logged nearly 123 million miles (198 million km) in flight during 4,671 orbits.
FOREST FOR THE TREES
Its impending arrival has generated much public anticipation. But tree-removal plans sparked opposition by many residents in neighborhoods through which Endeavour will pass.
Rudolph said the museum has taken pains to limit arboreal impacts as much as possible to smaller or sickly trees, those considered invasive species and those likely to be removed later because of sidewalk damage or future light-rail construction. More than a quarter of them are on airport property.
"We believe we'll leave the neighborhoods with far more trees and healthier trees," he said.
Endeavour was scheduled to travel piggyback on top of a specially modified 747 jet plane en route from Florida to California this week. But its departure from the Kennedy Space Center for the first leg of its final flight was delayed for a day until Wednesday due to bad weather.
NASA said Endeavour is now expected to arrive on Friday at the Los Angeles airport, where the mammoth orbiter will be readied for ground transport to the science center, located in downtown L.A.'s Exposition Park.
Preparations were already under way along its route, which starts by crossing two runways that will be briefly shut down before dawn on October 12 as the shuttle rolls out to the street.
In addition to removing trees and other obstacles, crews have spent weeks raising the height of above-ground power, phone and cable lines that run horizontally across Endeavour's path.
Three sets of high-voltage lines that cannot be permanently raised will instead be removed and replaced one at a time to allow Endeavour to pass. And large steel plates will be laid on the ground in front of the ship to reinforce sections of pavement that might otherwise be compromised.
As for the loss of trees, none slated to be chopped down is a native species or "heritage tree," Rudolph said. Replacements will be boxed trees that already stand 10 to 14 feet tall.
He said museum staff have worked with residents to map out a route requiring the fewest possible tree removals.
If all goes as planned, Endeavour will go on public display at the museum on October 30. Eventually, the ship will be exhibited upright, attached to two actual solid-rocket boosters and a replica of its giant external fuel tank, all connected to a partial replica of a launch tower.
"It will be truly jaw-dropping when you walk in and look in the building," Rudolph said.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? In an election that may be decided on the strength of the American economy, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are looking to China to score political points as they compete for political support from working-class voters.
But both candidates also are taking some heat about their dealings with the communist superpower.
Republicans accuse Obama of failing to follow through on promises to crack down on China's trade policies. Democrats, meanwhile, raise questions about Romney's leadership of a private equity firm that invested in companies operating in China.
Beyond politics, there are real policy differences that could have a dramatic impact on the relationship between the United States and the country that is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury debt.
Romney and Obama campaign officials set aside time at their respective political conventions to meet privately with China's ambassador to the United States. But publicly, both candidates are putting aside diplomatic niceties and talking tough.
The White House on Monday filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization over Chinese subsidies to its auto and auto parts industry, the latest in a series of actions dating back to 2009 to protest what U.S. manufacturers say are the unfair advantages China gives its own industries. The move came four days after Romney launched an advertising campaign accusing the president of allowing American manufacturing jobs to be lost to the Asian power.
At a campaign stop in Cincinnati, Obama charged that Romney made money from companies that outsourced jobs to China while running the private equity firm Bain Capital.
"You can't stand up to China when all you've done is send them our jobs," Obama said. "You can talk a good game. But I like to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. And my experience has been waking up every single day doing everything I can to make sure that American workers get a fair shot in the global economy."
Romney shot back in a statement accusing Obama of ignoring China for too long.
"Campaign-season trade cases may sound good on the stump, but it is too little, too late for American businesses and middle-class families," Romney said. "President Obama's credibility on this issue has long since vanished."
The issue hits home among working-class voters in manufacturing swing states such as Ohio, where Obama has gained recently in polls. And American voters don't seem to like China very much.
An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll conducted in July found that 62 percent of registered voters consider China more of an adversary, while just 25 percent see the country as an ally. About 86 percent of adults were at least somewhat concerned about how trade relations with China would impact the U.S. economy, Gallup found in February.
Romney is promising an aggressive course on China. In particular, he has vowed to issue an executive order in his first day in office labeling China a currency manipulator, a designation that would trigger negotiations between the two countries and could ultimately lead to U.S. trade sanctions against China.
The designation is opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Jon Huntsman, the former GOP presidential candidate and onetime U.S. ambassador to China, who said it would spark a trade war that would damage U.S. businesses and threaten China's willingness to buy U.S. Treasury debt.
Complaining about China's manipulation of its currency is popular among both Democrats and Republicans, and it's a chorus Obama himself joined during his first run for the White House and has renewed since then. In a 2008 campaign position paper, Obama vowed to use "all diplomatic means" to put China's currency on a fairer footing.
But Obama has repeatedly refused to brand China a currency manipulator in a report that the Treasury Department is required to send to Congress twice a year. Past administrations also have been unwilling to take that step. China owns $1.16 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities, making it the largest foreign holder of Treasury debt.
But for now at least, Romney is not backing down. Over the weekend, he ran an advertisement across eight swing states accusing Obama of failing to crack down on China's behavior. And in his weekly podcast, Romney said that "in 2008, candidate Obama promised to take China 'to the mat.' But since then, he's let China run all over us."
Obama countered with a TV spot focused on Romney's past relationship with China. While Romney headed Bain Capital in the 1990s, the firm invested in several companies that operated in China. The Romney campaign has insisted that the Chinese-based factories did not supplant U.S. manufacturing jobs.
Much of the evidence is based on U.S. Securities and Exchange documents from that period, providing only sparse information on the China-based activities of these firms. But records do raise questions about what appear in some cases to be a broadening reliance on Chinese factories and workers by several firms targeted by Bain in the 1990s for investments and takeover bids.
Romney's posture on China's economic expansion was far less confrontational when he headed Bain Capital. In March 1998, while attending a forum on the future of U.S. cities, he extolled China's workplaces, which have in recent years come under fire for exploiting Chinese workers.
"I went to a factory of 5,000 workers making bread makers and so forth," said Romney, then the CEO of Bain. He said they were "working, working, working, as hard as they could, at rates of roughly 50 cents an hour. They cared about their jobs; they wouldn't even look up as we walked by."
On Monday, Romney called for a "crackdown on nations that cheat like China. That's killing jobs."
