I don't think it makes any sense to build a new CCP in each new year.
What would happen if last year's CCP GaoGans refuse to retire?

It seems that all some CSS's know is hatred, hatred, and hatred -
that's why I am sure civil war will break out among CSS's and

Can anyone help me with a question of Chinese etiquette? My family and I
have been very good friends with a Chinese family that recently emigrated
to this country. At Christmas time they surprised me by offering a gift
from their family to my three daughters. We were not prepared to
reciprocate. I would like to return their kindness. When I saw that the
Chinese New Year begins on Jan. 23rd I thought I could perhaps do something
in celebration of the event. Could  you help with any suggestions or
comments?

Statement from the Toycott China for
Human Rights Coalition
---------------------------------------
We understand that some confusion persists as to
why we are boycotting toys made in China.  We
launched the Toycott to protest continued human
rights abuses against the people of China and Tibet.
The children of the world are our future, and
this future must be one in which human rights
are respected by all.  We will not give our
children toys made under a brutal regime that
rejects the concept of basic human rights.
 
We are NOT boycotting toys because of how they
may or may not be made (e.g., children or
prison labor).  Obviously, if we knew which
toys were made in prison camps - these toys
wouldn't be on the shelves to boycott in the
first place!
 
Please help us clarify this issue. The Toycott
is - and has always been - focused on the issue
of basic human rights.  One need only to study
our conditions for ending the Toycott to grasp
what our campaign is striving for: The Toycott
will end when human rights conditions are
attached to China's Most Favored Nation trade
status, and when those conditions are met.
 
Through economic pressure, the Toycott will
encourage the Chinese government to match
its economic reforms with progress in
basic human rights.

As very good friends, you may consider following this Chinese New Year
custom (if that Chinese family has children): suppose children in 
that Chinese family are yonger than 16, you can give each of them 
some cash ($10 or so, better match their Xmas gifts) on New Year's 
Day when you visit them. The cash should be wrapped in red paper 
(that's called `hong bao' - red means luck, money means wealth, 
both money and red paper are symbolic things), on which you may 
write some greetings.

China Southern Airlines. This fastgrowing, Guangzhou-based carrier placed
an $800-million order for six 777s. The order had additional significance,
because it indicated the emptiness of China's threat earlier this year to
boycott large Western-built transports in retaliation for sales of U.S.

Thanks for a highly imformative post, but I think there seems to be some
confusion in the way you describe "mathematical model" and "hint
points".

As far as I know, PostScript and TrueType fonts are both
mathematical and hint points based. The connection is that they are both
defined by Bezier curve with some "hint points" outer-lined specifically
for the Bezier fuction curve.  The difference is that PostScript is
superior because it uses cubic Bezier function whereas TrueType used
quadratic Bezier function which requires less computation.  Both are very
satisfactory ways to generate scalable fonts.

Press the rice together and cover the bowl, the yeast works better with

No Chinese want to see western weapons killing Chinese, but if it were to happen,
every Chinese want to see other Chinese be killed. 8-)

Anyway, the possibility of using these weapons to kill Chinese is much more remote
than the immediate political gain (of Taiwan) in winning good-will from two of the
