Last night, the Senate passed a bill that would impose tariffs on currency manipulators like China. It's not expected to pass the House or get signed by The President, but China has already responded to the provocation.
As Nomura explains, it fixed the yuan shockingly low against the dollar last night, moving it in the exact opposite direction the U.S. wants:
The disappointing USD/CNY fix today, 116 pips higher than yesterday's (to 6.3598) and compared with our model forecast of 23 pips could reflect an element of Chinese retaliation to the Senate's vote. The last time we saw such a big fix (compared to the previous session) was on 29 November 2010 (147 pips), which came on the back of EUR weakness (broad USD strength) on EU-related debt concerns (primarily Ireland). Previous large USD/CNY fixes that surprised on the upside (in October-November 2010) coincided with either North Korea provocation or followed major political events (the G20 Leaders summit, Premier Wen Jiabao's October visit to Europe) [...]

Bayern Munich striker Ivica Olic is hoping to return from his hip injury in the Bundesliga encounter against Hertha Berlin this Sunday.
The 32-year-old ruptured a tendon in his hip area in the 5-0 win over Hamburg in mid-August, just a week after returning from a prior knee injury sustained in last November.
The Croatian is positive that he is able to make a full recovery in time and make an appearance from the bench in this weekend's fixture against Hertha Berlin, even if he's not fit enough to play through all 90 minutes.
Olic told FCB.tv: ""I'm smiling again at last and I'm feeling really good. I've trained extremely well over the last few days and hope to make the team for the game versus Hertha.

Viktor Bout Goes On Trial In Arms-Trafficking Case -- Washington Post
A Manhattan federal prosecutor on Wednesday accused Russian arms broker Viktor Bout of seeking to sell millions of dollars in weapons, including 100 surface-to-air missiles, to purported agents of a Colombian rebel group that expressed an intent to kill American pilots.
The allegations came at the opening of Bout's trial, the culmination of a five-year-long effort by the United States to capture and prosecute one of the world's most famous alleged arms traffickers.
Watch Auckland vs Kolkata Knight Riders live streaming of Champions League T20 2011 qualifying match on 19th Sep at 14.30 GMT.
Auckland: Auckland have got so far thanks to a thrilling 4-run win over last year's qualifiers, Central Districts, in the HRV Cup in New Zealand. The hero of that win was Michael Bates, who scuttled Central Districts' chase with an opening over that was a triple-wicket maiden. Even though Auckland made it by the skin of their teeth, the players in they have in their ranks mean they are likely to be quite a handful for opposition teams. They have Martin Guptill, Lou Vincent and a bowling attack of Chris Martin, Daryl Tuffey and Kyle Mills. Auckland are coached by the wily Paul Strang, who played with distinction for Zimbabwe at a time when the African nation was a much stronger unit than it is right now, in the mid to late 1990s. In both on-field and off-field personnel thus, Auckland have good men to rely on.
Kolkata Knight Riders: The qualifiers concept has given the Knight Riders a first shot at the Champions League, since they lost the third place match in the IPL and would have not been a part of this tournament under the old rules. However, it is a well acknowledged fact that for the Champions League to be successful, more IPL teams need to be in it, and hence, Kolkata are in the mix. They will be without the man who got them to the semi-finals though, with Gautam Gambhir not yet recovered fully. Even without Gambhir though, Kolkata have a pretty good side. Jacques Kallis will be the captain along with their key player, while amongst the Indian recruits, Yusuf Pathan and Manoj Tiwary should be the men to look out for. Leading the pace attack will be Brett Lee, who still has the ability to change a game in a short, fast, furious spell.
Auckland squad GJ Hopkins*†, AR Adams, JHK Adams, MD Bates, C de Grandhomme, MJ Guptill, [...]

Mastermind Of Deadly Raid On American Soldiers Coordinated Plot Against Saudi Ambassador -- Long War Journal
The US Treasury Department has designated five individuals involved in an alleged plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US, including Qasem Soleimani, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). Soleimani "oversees the IRGC-QF officers who were involved in this plot," according to Treasury.
Another of the five is Abdul Reza Shahlai, an IRGC-QF officer who planned the Jan. 20, 2007 attack on US soldiers stationed in Karbala, Iraq. That attack left five US soldiers dead and wounded three others.
The same groups had sued the Bush administration over its ozone policy, but agreed to suspend the suit when the Obama administration came to office and promised to reconsider the Bush standard. That reconsideration was delayed several times before finally being killed by the president last month.

The memos devote a lot of space to future protests and lobbying on Parliament Hill by native groups, including the activities of the Assembly of First Nations, the Algonquin Anishinabeg Nation Tribal Council and Red Power United.
The Canadian military is keeping a watch on aboriginal groups through an intelligence unit that is meant to protect the Forces and the Department of National Defence from espionage, terrorists and saboteurs. The Canadian Forces' National Counter-Intelligence Unit assembled at least eight reports on the activities of native organizations between January, 2010, and July, 2011, according to records released under access to information law.
"And it's one, two, three, What are we fighting for ? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, Next stop is Pakistan"
It does appear that for some Pentagon brass, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta; the CIA under former U.S. Central Command and Afghanistan commander General David Petraeus; and top Republican and Democratic politicians that, indeed, Pakistanis next on the target list of nations that will soon be feeling the military muscle of the United States. Unlike other Muslim nations that have been subjected to U.S. military intervention, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, and Libya, Pakistan's ultimate prize for the West is its nuclear weapons arsenal...
A number of observers, including former senior figures with the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, have made no secret of western contingency plans, which appear to be going active, to secure Pakistan's nuclear weapons in order to eliminate the nation as a nuclear weapons power. The plans have been coordinated between the CIA, India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) intelligence service, and Israel's Mossad.
President Obama appears to have decided to ratchet up tensions with Pakistan after Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari was apparently urged by Obama to attend the White House's much-hyped Nuclear Security Summit in [...]

Oct. 5 -- Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs's death today at age 56 follows years of health struggles that began in 2003, when he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer.
Jobs had a neuroendocrine tumor, which is less aggressive than some other types of pancreatic malignancies. He eventually resigned as chief executive officer on Aug. 24, saying he could "no longer meet my duties and expectations."
Neuroendocrine tumors can grow slowly and be treated successfully with early removal.
