China’s Subtle War Against U.S. Dignity
The tarmac kerfuffle as Obama landed at the G-20 was emblematic of the minor aggressions China uses to diminish the U.S. and emphasize its own stature.
This week Stephen Hawking, a physicist known for his work on the astronomical phenomenon that are black holes, put forward a possible solution to a paradox on the topic that has had theorists pulling their hair out for four decades. Fundamentally, the discussion is about information. But what is the kerfuffle all about? The Economist explainshttp://econ.st/1K7ewzG

| In passport kerfuffle, Taiwan is stickin' it to China Christian Science Monitor China hasn't started a military war with Taiwan – as has been feared since the 1940s – but a battle that began on paper last month has met with a fiery pulp-and-ink response that could burn a hole in goodwill between the two once-hostile governments.

EU condemns use of fake passports in Hamas assassination
European Union foreign ministers issued a statement condemning the use of forged EU passports in the killing of a leading Hamas militant in Dubai.
"The EU strongly condemns the fact that those involved in this action used fraudulent EU member states' passports and credit cards acquired through the theft of EU citizens' identities," the declaration issued Monday said.
Although the statement avoided any explicit mention of Israel, Dubai authorities have said they believe Israel's secret service was involved in the killing. Israel has refused to confirm or deny any involvement.
The foreign ministers are to meet with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman later on Monday.
The alleged killers of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh used 11 forged passports from Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland when they entered the United Arab Emirates. Al-Mabhouh was found dead in his Dubai hotel on January 20.

Dubai authorities say they are "99 percent certain" that Israeli spies carried out the killing, and have suggested that the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad copied passports from European countries to allow the assassins to enter the Emirate more easily.
All four European countries have summoned Israeli diplomats to their foreign ministries to discuss the matter. Israel's refusal to comment is in accordance with its usual policy of ambiguity on such sensitive issues.

Ambiguity doctrine is a rule of contractual interpretation which provides, while interpreting documents, ambiguities are to be construed unfavorably to the drafter. The reasoning behind this rule is to encourage the drafter of a contract to be as clear and explicit as possible and to take into account as many foreseeable situations as it can.
Ambiguity doctrine is also called Contra Proferentem Doctrine

State schools, too, are reporting a tough admissions season, with acceptance rates down at the University of Texas and the University of North Carolina, among others.
On the positive side for some students this season, schools are having a hard time predicting their all-important "yields" -- the percentage of students admitted who will actually attend. And high-school counselors are hoping that ambiguity will result in more acceptances for students who are on waiting lists -- a strategy schools use to reach enrollment targets.
