asia. this guy's from eastern europe, he's a zebra mussel. also a very voracious eater.he has a nasty habit as you can see, of sticking to every available surface and eating virtually everything in the water column. so all of these species were transported by people from somewhere very far away, and when they got to a new place they didn't have any enemies, so they just proliferated. they did really, really well. and moving species around the world is something we do every day. talk about we do it purposefully -- often we do it purposefully. most of us probably have plants in our yards, for example, that are nonnative species and many people that have pents that are nonnative species. but even more often we do it accidentally. so it's been estimated that every day in the ballast wart of our supertankers -- water of our supertankers we are moving around 10,000 species. and this is once again something that strikes us as pretty ordinary. this is just the way things are. but when you think about it, it's really something that's very very new and unusual. without a lot of he

eastern morass. president obama and john kerry spent little time in asia, few new initiatives have been announced. the transpacific partnership, a trade deal that was at the heart of the pivot, faces a tough road in congress despite the fast-track agreement reached this week. the opposition comes mostly from the president's own party. the administration lobbied hard to get its closest allies to spurn china's new asian infrastructure investment bank only to be rebuffed by everyone, including great britain. the future stability of the world will not rest on whether the houthis win or lose in yemen. yemen has been in a state of almost constant civil war since 1962. global stability will be shaped by how the world's established power handles the new rising one, china. as harvard's graham allison notes, since 1500, of the 15 cases where this transition of power has taken place, 11 times the result was a war. most of the attention of the pivot has been focused on deterring china. that's a necessary and important component of maintaining peace and stability, but an excellent new academic volume qings the
