Another Coach?

Yet another coach in Josh McDaniels, Denver Broncos, has been fired for his performance.  It is said that many coachs are being layed off so to say in the NFL because of the intense competition.

I think it is a smart idea.  Now this is from an objective viewpoint.  If I were him I would not be saying that now.  But, if an NFL team is not doing very well, they do not bring in fans.  If they try to make their team as good as possible, they look to the coach for answers.  It has worked for other teams this year, so maybe it will work for the Broncos.

China's Influence

China recently said that they have less influence over North Korea than they thought.  They said that decisions that North Korea will make in the near future would not be from their influence.  This may show some preview to aggressive moves by North Korea on the South Korea border.

This altogether is not a good situation at all.  It seems that the border between North and South Korea will not be the same in the next years or even months.  Even worse, the United States looks like they have a very high chance of entering into a "new" North and South Korean conflict.  So the questions I want to ask are what determines influence over a country and how you believe this will turn out?
