Elop: "I'm very happy with the decision we made"
0. phoneArena 15 Jul 2013, 12:56 posted on
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop recently sat down to chat with a publication in the U.K. and as you might expect, the question came up about Nokia's decision to go with the nascent Windows Phone platform to replace the dying Symbian OS; until recently, many had questioned whether Android, with its rapidly growing applications market and market share momentum, would have been the better choice at the time...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Symbian was already losing traction, popularity, and Nokia was losing ground in smartphone sales before Elop was ELECTED to his position. He cut to the quick, sure, but he quickly and mercilesslessly got rid of the clutter, something a successful businessperson like himself has to do. Much like Alan Mullaly for Ford (came in from Boeing), or jobs' return to apple after his NEXT venture, or what Thurston whatshisname is trying to do for Blackberry. The "burning platform" memo was harsh, but it clearly illustrated that top-level brass weren't going to accept anything but the utter revamping of Sulymbian quickly and cost-effectively, rapid adoption of MeeGo (which wasn't close to ready, for better or worse), or shift to the already-established young Windows Phone.
In a few years when people's computers (home or mobile), car infotainment and mapping systems, phones, and gaming consoles all run the same (or at least intertwined and integrated) Microsoft OS, with every interactive electronic device they own consisting of one solidified experience and interaction, you'll know just what fools you're being now. Shortly after that, when a person may possibly carry just one pocket-sized device and wirelessly dock it with their own peripherals (keyboards, vehicle, television, etc) and truly have ONE experience across almost any electronic device, it will be like science fiction coming true.

I think we could say ... If Elop went to Android since the pureview 808 Nokia would break ALL sellers. It´s still time to take the right decision ! WP sucks ! I would buy Nokia 1020 if it has Android inside ... but with WP no way !!! He tooks the right decision ??? When ????
37. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
sergiobr, WP8's increasing market share proves that others don't share the same opinion as yourself. Also, WP OS won't stop real photographers from buying the Lumia 1020, as the platform already offers enough to satisfy the average user, and no other Android OEM can offer the same quality 41MP cam...

another unsatisfied Android user begging for Nokia's hardware....no way, there is no way that Nokia will use android. They didn't think of using it when they were deep in trouble, why would they think of using it when they are already on the way up to the top. And to think of it, why do other companies who have been using Android all these years haven't even caught up with the n8's 12mp cam even though they had so much technology and resources on their hands, there's just no way some one would put the Pureview tech on laggy and power-hundry android, even though other have already threaded the octo-core level. Android just isn't stable enough...

Nokia made the right decision on going with WP. Here's why. Look at Sony. Sony makes great android phones that the critics and fandroids love. But nobody buys them. Do you know anybody with a Sony android phone. No.
I would rather own a Nokia phone with a great camera and hardware than a android phone with a million apps. The battle for customers for Nokia can be won on the low and mid range.
48. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
Elop is the biggest douche in the whole mobile industry......whether he made the right decision remains to be seen but whether he did it with grace and proper conduct is a definite NO....I'm sorry I just hate the guy
49. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
Now let's cut the BS....im starting to become annoyed with these fanboys like urban phantom, raunak and sakuro akino, TBH I believe Elop was a total idiot in completely shutting out all other possibilities and only going with his ex employer but hey that's my opinion! My opinion is not definitely true and I realise that and its time others realise that too people who just blindly love one company are just ignorant and naive and need to try other possibilities first! Granted some may actually have tried very thing and love one company because they found there product best for them, but that is no way an excuse for you going round like a deciple spreading your word as truth and bashing anybody who believed otherwise! True if the person is tolling then rage away but if he is being serious then what's the point that's his view.....this is me saying stop the constant whining Nokia and Samsung fanboys alike cause its really boring and no one will win in the end...Samsung have massive sales Nokia have the best cameras that is the truth and the rest can be made up around that!
I'm sorry but I knew this article was going to go mad with fanboys so thus had to be said!
77. papss (unregistered)
I agree on many levels.... For once. As a fanboy (who here isn't right) I try and stay objective until someone says something truly stupid ( happens a lot).

Whortonhearsawho: Nokia was selling over a hundred million phones per year when Samsung was just entering the smartphone races. There were possibly times when Nokia moved more imaging devices than all of samsung's consumer electronics combined. Sales aren't everything, otherwise we'd all have iPhails (based on single-model phones) Mobile tech would be nowhere without Nokia. Show some respect.
As for Elop, watch the presentation of the 1020. He comes off earnest, confident, rightfully proud, and genuinely passionate without being a blind narcissistic self-absorbed fanatic (like jobs, who, anyone can admit, was a much more egotistical jerkball than Elop could nightmare to be). He has gotten a lot more easy-going and is happy to show what Nokia is doing, like a justified proud father, or, really stepfather, since he was elected as the first non-Finn to lead Nokia. He's remained ever the practical optimist despite strong critical attacks and pessimism from media and fanatical whiners like yourself, and every new launch, every true innovation Nokia has keeps proving Elop correct
52. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
So he essentially admitted he was afraid of Samsung, interesting. I still don't see why they don't do both, other than MS looming over their shoulder.
106. cam-whore (Posts: 164; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
no way, there is no way that Nokia will use android. They didn't think of using it when they were deep in trouble, why would they think of using it when they are already on the way up to the top.

Nokia should tell windows to add popular games like candy crush and temple run 2 to all it lumia range of phones then that will make WP successful ! Most people don't really care about the OS anyway! It's the price and what apps are available that are important.
62. tigermcm (Posts: 851; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
This has been bugging me for awhile so I'm going to say it. SHUT UP you fandroids that keep crying for a droid flavored Nokia!! Samsung is killing the droid arena and taking names leaving HTC constantly licking its wounds and other OEMs throwing in a phone here and there just to say they made an android powered phone. The small percent of you crying for Nokia to make droids only suggest specs specs specs. Specs is what Samsung is offering and Nokia doesn't care about. Nokia is about innovating over specs. Fandroids seem to only want specs and not innovation hence why Samsung is droid king. Nokia wouldn't be able to sell in the droid arena they would be another HTC so shut up and like, love, sex your Samsungs and quit trying to make every OEM make Android
64. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
....what did I just read.....excuse me but can you tell me ONE price of innovation Nokia have bought to the table recently....now you will blah on about some idiotic camera sensor rubbish and how it create a marginally better pixzel density photo or whatever you camera Nokians talk about but the thing is that's not really innovation that will work in everyday life...innovation is creating something that will aide your day to day life and not something that creates marginally better photographs that its predecessor.... You knock Samsung but they have spent more on RandD than Nokia have made profit for the past 2 years....they are on the cusp of probably the biggest breakthrough in smartphone history for a long while with creating a flexible display phone.....this is innovation.....so next time you decide to open your big mouth and love Nokia get your facts straight.!
66. UrbanPhantom (Posts: 949; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
Samsung does one thing well only: copy from Apple. Unfortunately, the death of Steve Jobs has left two massive companies without any clue how to innovate...
71. tigermcm (Posts: 851; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
I knocked Samsung? did you read the right comment? I don't love anyone outside my family I have an HTC sir. what innovation has Samsung put out in the last few years? bigger screens? more specs?you said innovation aides In day to day life but a better camera doesn't aide in day to day life? you must not have kids, if you do you must not takes pictures of them. you probably are one of the many on here crying for an android flavored nokia.......yeah that's right go delete your comments on other articles before you say that's not true
94. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Ahahahahaha, you think flexible displays are new and innovative? Hey, there's a bridge in downtown New York I have for sale...! Heck, the concept of a flexible display predates commercial personal computers and cell phones !
NOKIA is the first to have unveiled a functional prototype flexible OLED display, in 2008, when the best that Samsung could do was the Jack or Blackjack or whatever.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F

96. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
You misunderstood I meant first to successfuly maps produce flexible displays....
108. tigermcm (Posts: 851; Member since: 02 Sep 2009)
you must work for Samsung to know that the screens have bee mass produced. So by you saying they are innovative because they are the first to mass produce you are saying no matter who invents the product it isnt innovative until its mass produced......

Being happy with a decision doesn't necessarily mean it was the right decision. Remember that.
69. snowgator (Posts: 3558; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
In another 3-5 years, Nokia will still be cranking out great WP devices, Sammy will be still an Android leader, and there will be other OEM's, OS's and other goodies to argue about. Would I be shocked to see Nokia with an Android line or a line of other OS phones? Nope. Matter of a fact, I would be shocked if they don't.
It seems strange to me to be this wrapped up in this conversation. MS is just now getting WP into the big league features, just now getting the cross platform systems to work, and there are people STILL thinking NOW is a good time for Nokia to leave WP??
WP is not a threat to either Android or iOS yet, it is respectable and maturing. Nokia is happy to rule this roost. It is still a perfect relationship between hardware/software.

So much biased comments with no useful information being said.
78. Dion25 (Posts: 42; Member since: 25 Jul 2012)
Elop and Nokia made the right business choice to go exclusive with Ms. Listen closely to what he is saying. Nokia didnt want to take on Samsung due to the almost unlimited resources they have. If Nokia had choose android and release these phones with such powerful spec cameras, then Samsung would have responded for sure. Nokia don't have the resources to fight Samsung. Their decision to go be the dominant Phone maker for Ms was better for them, with the added financial backing from Ms only made that choice even easier for them.
92. sam.7 (Posts: 68; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
i fully agree over your opinion. Nokia knows what they have,they knows they will need to find a best alternative way to take up this competetive prowesses. Iphone is not going to survive in the long run and thats a fact, android will rule and windows will take the 2nd place. And the same will again move like that. People change, so does market. When symbian was on top iphone came and it dominated,then android dominated iphone. Thats rule and it will go like that.
79. Gdrye (Posts: 110; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
anyone afraid of competition shouldnt b a leader, yes samsung has resources, and they used that as an advantage when HTC was on their rise. but u know what, Sony will be the new leader, what they may lack in processors technology they make up in camera sensors and build quality, there are plenty of ways to beat samsung, sony seems to be the main one taking advantage of them
80. papss (unregistered)
With Sony's good brava engine screen tech and very average cameras to date I don't think you are right... I love Sony designed phones and the UI but to say they are leaders is just silly talk.

I am a Nexus 4 user, I had a Windows Phone 7.5 ... . Nexus 4 is definitely a class. Its superbly fast !
However, I think I miss my Windows Phone .. I understand Android has an edge in Apps , Apps are quite faster/optimized and faster update cycle, but Windows Phone with basic Social connection and email and whatsapp is pretty good and I miss it.
85. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Why doe he keeps saying this every 3 months? How many 9*** did Nokia sell? 30 million? Compare this with S3/S4/iPhone. They are selling their assets faster than they are selling their high end phones.
107. cam-whore (Posts: 164; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
samsung = sales (which you aren't gonna get any no matter how much they sell)
nokia = innovation (which everyone will benefit from)
now choose, lets see just how smart you are....
114. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Yr screen name speaks enough on "smartness" so let's not delve too "deep" into it. Nokia is a good company with a bad OS.
90. sam.7 (Posts: 68; Member since: 10 Jul 2013)
time will come and people will see why Nokia choosed windows instead of android. am a market researcher,a business man and have a experience of 15years and i can tell that. Don't know why people over here saying those meaningless things on this article?
112. .KRATOS. (Posts: 310; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
My guess they should've go android they might turned the table on.
113. almostdone (Posts: 231; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
I don't think going to Windows Phone was a bad decision however when they negotiated a deal with M$ they should have never agreed to exclusivity regardless they receive the 1 billion per year or not.
Their main focus could still have been on Windows Phone as the third eco system but why not make a flagship 41Mpx Android phone as well. If it does well they could be selling millions of WP and Android phones. They could of literally become a super power of the smartphones. If android did not work out they still have WP to fall back on.

You can hate Elop or not but the fact is Nokia is the number one windows smart phone OEM.
MR Elop and his great Nokia staff set out to do that and they succeeded. There are 4 software updates coming and some hardware advances that will make windows smart phones up to date with android smart phones. Nokia now knows they have the right stuff to make an android smart phone if they wish that could make them a profit. An Android version of the Nokia Lumia 1020 would be the number one android smart phone on the market. fortunately for the Android OEM's Nokia is cutting them some slack by not making one!

The Domestic Politics of Foreign Policy: Thailand vs. Cambodia at the Temple of Preah Vihear
Puangthong R. Pawakapan, 2010-11 APARC-Asia Foundation Research Fellow ,Stanford University
In February 2011 Thai and Cambodian troops again clashed on their common border over the status of the ancient Temple of Preah Vihear. Both sides suffered casualties, including deaths. Since it began in 2008, the dispute has envenomed Thai-Cambodian relations. In Thailand a key factor behind the conflict has been the nationalist claim by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) that the temple belongs to Thailand. The PAD's campaign over the issue must be seen in the context of its successful mobilization of mass opposition to the government in power at that time. Prof. Pawakapan will explain how the dispute arose, how it was aggravated by political rivalry inside Thailand, and what its future outcome and implications could be.
Puangthong R. Pawakapan is an assistant professor in the Department of International Relations at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. Topics of her publications include Thai foreign policy and the Cambodia genocide. Her 1995 University of Wollongong PhD dissertation covered Thai-Cambodian relations in the 19th century. She has been a visiting scholar at Yale University and has worked as a journalist and been active in non-governmental organizations in Thailand.

Chicken Papadoris
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
This is an excellent light curry dish to be served over cooked rice. I developed this recipe in Palm Springs, CA and it has been a big success with everyone who has tried it. The recipe name is very original as I named it after some friends of mine. Her name was "Doris" and I called her husband "Papa". Therefore, "CHICKEN PAPADORIS". You can also use chicken drumettes, wings or thighs.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
- 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup pine nuts, lightly roasted
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Hungarian paprika
- 14 fluid ounces good quality coconut milk
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon curry powder (of your choice)
- 2 teaspoons tapioca or 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1⁄4 cup cold water
- Remove all fat from chicken breasts and discard.
- Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces.
- In a large frying pan, melt butter, add onion and garlic and saute' until onions are translucent.
- Add chicken pieces, cover and fry until cooked through and have turned white, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in pine nuts, soy sauce, paprika, coconut milk, cumin and curry powder; cover and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a cup, mix together tapioca starch and water until dissolved.
- Near the end of cooking the chicken and while sauce is bubbling, add cornstarch mixture, small amounts at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Use only enough tapioca mixture so that the sauce has the consistency of gravy.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.

Good flavor, but I think it would benefit from some veggies, like perhaps potatoes, cauliflower, and/or eggplant. I will be making this again...
An excellent curry dish! India cusine is a favorite of mine and this was supurb.I made this tonight for my son who is visiting and he gives it two thumbs up also. I only use Basmati rice which is perfect with this dish as it is a firmer rice. I made exactly as posted with excellent results. As I only use Penzy's spices I normaly use half the amount in a recipe as their spices are some stronger than those purchased at the grocery. In this I used exact amounts which was perfect. I suggest using the roasted pine nuts as they add such as wonderful flavor. I purchase pine nuts at an Italian Market where they are less expensive and I can chose smaller amounts. Having several more chicken breasts I made a second batch after supper tonight. To this batch I added 1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala which gave a slighty more intense India flavor however, the recipe is perfect as is. Thanks for another great recipe Uncle Bill. Your becoming a household name here. Samijo
DH loved this, while I was sort of on the fence. I followed the recipe verbatim, except for 2 things- no pine nuts, and I used lite coconut milk. Chicken breast has never turned out so moist and delicious for me, so I'm going to keep your cook times in mind for other things, Bill- very good. DH loved the subtle flavors, but to me, it was lacking slightly. Overall though, a truly simple and enjoyable meal. Thanks for sharing.

Look Again to the Wind: Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears Revisited
Various Artists
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music.
|11 Songs
iTunes Review
The '60s proved to be a time of great change, and Johnny Cash was that rare country performer who didn't adhere to the general conservative tone of most country music. His 1964 album Bitter Tears, which yielded the hit single "The Ballad of Ira Hayes," featured an entire album of songs dedicated to demonstrating how Native Americans were mistreated throughout U.S. history. To celebrate the album's 50th anniversary, producer/musician Joe Henry assembled this collection of esteemed country and folk artists covering the songs from the legendary album, many of which were written by Peter LaFarge. Not surprisingly, Emmylou Harris' version of "Apache Tears," performed with The Milk Carton Kids, is a highlight, with Harris adding an intimacy that the stoic Cash generally repelled. The "Reprise" version by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings is performed as a solemn instrumental. Welch brings her vocals to the opening version of "As Long as the Grass Will Grow." Kris Kristofferson tackles the hit "The Ballad of Ira Hayes" with true grit. Steve Earle relishes his role in the powerful "Custer."
Customer Reviews
A little disappointing
Johnny Cash's Bitter Tears is my favorite Cash album. While the songs featuring Emmylou Harris are fantastic, Gillian Welch's effort seemed lackluster.
Definitely Not The Original...
Cash's Bitter Tears is probably the most powerful complete album I've ever heard. That's a five star review all day. It's always gracious that other recording artists feel compelled to re-record these tracks on a tribute album, but 9/10 times the tribute album turns into a butchering. This effort is no exception.
I can appreciate the Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson, & Emmylou Harris contributions as their voices have accumulated the miles to do some justice. You just can't have other soft, angelic voices play Johnny.
I'm glad that folks can find profound meaning in the original album. So if you need the blueprint to social commentary buy the genuine article.
First Nations deserve this
Great songs, from great artists for the American Indian. Thank you Johnny Cash.

Blame the holier than thou Times for the land deal mess. Sometimes public officials know best.
Kelly O and Ari Spool give Unpaid Intern can of Rize, Unpaid Intern drink Rize, freak out, Hulk out, UNPAID INTERN BECOME HULK!
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
PC/unPC/Susan... You totally failed to comment on the Michelle Obama story. The phony smears against her are some of your, uh, proudest work. Or whatever. Your most significant work I guess. I mean you basically have nothing except a lot of wrong predictions and your false rumors, and the false rumors are all that have amounted to anything.
Comment? Are you sorry? Do you wish you could take it back? Do you plan on doing more of that kind of thing?
Whatever happened to Police Beat, anyway?
@3: Explain? My parents live 1/2 mile from the Donut Hole and are ecstatic that the Yarrow Bay offer fell through. HW 169 is in crappy shape, and throwing 1000-2000 more cars per day on it isn't going to make it any better.
#2 Real Clear Politics is child's play - check out http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ if you want real polling analysis
FWIW Obama is starting to pull away - this could actually turn into a rout
We'll re-defeat NO-Bama in November!!!
Living at the other end of HW 169, I agree w/ @7.
@8 - 538 predicts Indiana will go blue. That *really* hurts their credibility.
I'd love to see it happen, but I won't hold my breath.
@7 & @10, hate to burst your bubble, but the winning bidder was the same company that the city was originally negotiating with. In fact, they were the sole bidder. So, they are going to proceed with their project. Meanwhile, the city gets less money.

4.5 stars 12 totalReview Charles Rittgers
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I was unjustly accused of a crime, and retained Mr. Rittgers as my defense attorney. I had never been in trouble in my life and was quite upset and nervous. Charlie walked me through the process and assured me that I would come out fine. He kept me informed during the entire process and we won the case. I felt like he really was emotionally involved in my case, and that he was completely confident in our defense, which in turn, made me confident that the outcome would be favorable. If you need a good attorney, I would highly suggest hiring him, or anyone from his firm.
Posted by a DUI & DWI client
We hired Charlie to represent our juvenile child who made a very poor decision that could have had a major negative impact on our child's life. Charlie was honest and straight forward with us and shared with our child how lives can be ruined by the wrong choices. For all of the parents out there that may face this awful time in your child's life, remember it's not just about hiring the best lawyer ( which we have no doubt Charlie is) but also taking action yourselves immediately with consequences, no car, counseling, etc. We breathed a big sigh of relief after court that day after months of a lot of stress. Thank you to Charlie and your staff!
Posted by Delores
My husband was hit by another driver which resulted in the death of our granddaughter. Rittgers & Rittgers handled our claim very professionally and with much compassion.
Mr. Rittgers and his staff worked very hard on our claim.
We would recommend Rittgers & Rittgers very highly.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
He gave me my life back. I can think of no higher praise. He knows the law and he listens and fights for his client. His advise is sound and in the client's best interest. Thank you Mr. Rittgers.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
The day we received the call that our son who, was away at college, was arrested for resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and thus charged with 2 felonies, we knew we needed knowledgeable, legal, counsel. Charlie Rittgers met us for the first time, in his office, on a Sunday afternoon. Immediately, we knew we had selected the best counsel for our son, a first time offender. Charlie and his office were able to bring our son's charges down to a misdemeanor level II, with a possibility of expunging it from the record within two years. We are extremely pleased with the results of Rittgers and Rittgers.
Posted by Casey
Charlie Rittgers and his firm did an excellent job in representing me in my personal injury case. The case settled prior to having to file a lawsuit for more than I had anticipated. I felt I was in good hands the entire process and was kept totally informed about what was going on with my case. I would highly recommend this firm.
Posted by a Corporate client
Did not feel he was on my side, would yell over me, never explain as to why we should go a certain way. Believed every word used against me, discounted or dismissed every bit of evidence I provided. Overall it was very weird
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
I cannot thank Mr. Rittgers and his son enough for their hardwork and due diligence in my case. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Mr. Rittgers's outstanding work saved my career and prevented me from unjustly going to prison. He kept me well informed and was completely straightforward throughout the matter. Mr. Rittgers is absolutely the best.
Posted by a Personal Injury client
Charlie and his entire staff are caring and focused on good results. I cam to the law firm to find a good injury lawyer for a friend of mine. The firm was the best firm we interviewed and the result they obtained was greater than either of us expected. The case was settled before trial.
Posted by a Criminal Defense client
Mr. Rittgers exceeded all my expectations. I have used Mr. Rittgers twice. Once to consult him prior to any criminal charge and once after I was charged. In the first instance, I was never charged and in the second, I was charged and facing legal penalties for immature and stupid behavior and worried that the penalties would affect my driver's license, car insurance, and future job prospects. Thankfully, Mr. Rittgers resolved my matter so that I did not face any consequences. He was vigilant in his representation and focused on my concerns. His firm and staff are great to deal with. I highly recommend Mr. Rittgers for any criminal matter.

SEOUL, April 4 (Yonhap) -- The United States remains worried about South Korea's commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and Seoul must do more to erase doubt in order to persuade Washington to allow it to enrich uranium and reprocess spent nuclear fuel, a report said Thursday.
The report, commissioned by Seoul's foreign ministry, was published as Seoul and Washington are preparing to resume formal negotiations this month aimed at revising a bilateral civilian nuclear accord.
The 1974 agreement bans Seoul from reprocessing spent fuel because it could yield plutonium that could be used to build atomic bombs. Now, Seoul wants Washington to allow it to use a proliferation-resistant technology for enriching uranium and reprocessing spent atomic fuel.
Washington has been reluctant to do so apparently because of proliferation concerns.
"The U.S. does not cast away doubts over a possibility of proliferation in the wake of nuclear technology development by South Korea," the report said.
Such doubts "prompted the U.S. to express a negative stance on the issues of uranium enrichment and reprocessing spent fuel rods during negotiations on revising the nuclear accord," the report said.
In order to dispel such concerns, South Korea needs to enact a "law of nuclear non-proliferation," it said.
South Korean conservative politicians have a tendency of urging Seoul to arm itself with its own nuclear weapons when North Korea spikes tensions on the Korean Peninsula with nuclear tests.
However, South Korea has committed itself to global non-proliferation measures by signing a series of international frameworks that would make cheating impossible.
South Korea, a major nuclear energy developer, wants the U.S. to allow it to adopt proliferation-resistant technology for enriching uranium and reprocessing spent atomic fuel from its 22 nuclear power plants, but Washington has been reluctant to do so.
In the face of growing nuclear waste stockpiles and its ambition to become a global power in the civilian nuclear industry, South Korea hopes to adopt the so-called pyroprocessing technology, which leaves separated plutonium, the main ingredient in making atomic bombs, mixed with other elements.
South Korea wants the U.S. to allow it to use the new technology because it has to deal with more than 10,000 tons of nuclear waste at storage facilities that are expected to reach capacity by 2016.
Some nonproliferation experts say pyroprocessing is not significantly different from reprocessing, and the plutonium could be quickly turned into weapons-grade material.

Are All Blondes Really Dumb?
A: 25 — 1 to mix the dough and 24 to peel the M&M's.
Blondes have been getting a bad rap for centuries, but do they truly deserve being labeled dumb? After all, there are some very rich blondes that have made it to the top: Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Barbara Walters, and Candice Bergen to name a few. Okay, so what if most of them used their looks to get there, the point is they're there, right?
How did all this start? Was Marilyn Monroe the culprit, with her sexy figure and childish giggle? No sir; the blonde damsel in distress came along way before Marilyn proved that some like it hot. Let us rewind back to the Victorian era, when women were still considered fragile, weak, incredibly sexual, and flighty.
well, I do declareIn the 19th century, amid the Victorian era, females were preferably delicate, blonde and white-skinned women. They gave off this angelic imagery and innocence that the era embraced.
In a novel entitled The Woman in White by renowned Victorian author Wilkie Collins, the descriptions of blondes in the tale are attractive and seemingly delicate, whereas descriptions of brunette women were unappealing and somewhat masculine — let's just say it; brown-haired, olive-skinned women were ugly. And most literature from that era took such a stance.
So because the brunettes stood up for themselves and their independence while the blondes held on dearly to their men to be saved and taken care of, blonde women slowly became known as weak and unintelligent, so to speak.
the peroxide did itAnd seeking men's desires and approval, even brunettes felt that being blonde was the right way to go and began dying their hair in a desperate attempt to compete with their fair-haired counterparts.
Even Roman women would dye their hair blonde with whatever products they could find because they were jealous of the golden-haired German women brought back as captives by their husbands.
And here we are today, cracking blonde jokes by the dozen that refer to both their stupidity and promiscuity. So are blondes really dumb? After all, don't all stereotypes stem from some element of truth?
blondes have more funThe most infamous blonde, Barbie, has been the center of attention and adoration of millions of young girls worldwide. And only once they dyed their hair did Marilyn Monroe, Pamela Anderson and Anna Nicole Smith hit the big time.
The stigma of having the brain activity of a cactus and the sexual morals of a nymphomaniac was only perpetuated by such women (Marilyn took mostly dumb, sexy blonde roles; Pam had not one, but two homemade porn movies circulating around the globe; and Nicole married a man who was older than dirt). After all, it was Marilyn who said: "Sex is part of nature. I go along with nature." Now that sounds wholesome to me.
Evidently, however, such women are not so dumb, as they have (had) plenty of money and millions of men worldwide flock to bed each night fantasizing about what it would be like to play with these babes' blonde tresses.
What about artificial blondes?

As you work, it is a good idea to have a mirror available. Holding your sketch up to the mirror from time to time can show you distortions you might not see otherwise.
As you are adding to the steps, you may discover that they are becoming too dark. Here's where the kneaded eraser becomes particularly useful. You can lighten the darker penciling by strongly pressing the clay-like eraser onto the dark areas.

Just Doing His Job, Says Firefighter Who Caught Boy Dropped Three Floors
As flames engulfed a Roxbury, Mass., apartment house early this morning, Judith Lamb desperately held her young grandson out a window. She was shielding him fire and smoke.
That's when Boston Fire Department Lt. Glenn McGillivray "reached his arms out," the Boston Globe reports.
"I knew she wouldn't be able to hold him until we got help, so [she] dropped him, and I caught him in my arms from the third floor," McGillivray told the newspaper. "Thank God I caught him. I've never had to do that before, and I hope I never have to do it again." The Globe says young Xavier is 6-years-old.
McGillivray tells WHDH-TV that he's not a hero. "It's the job," he says.
About 75 people are now homeless because of the fire. One resident of the apartment building has been arrested. "Police said a preliminary investigation suggested the fire may have been the result of a failed suicide attempt," the Globe reports.
No one was killed. About a dozen people were injured. Firefighters had to bring many residents out via ladders.

Historical Traveler Reviews Saint Paul Hotel Rome
Great short stay at the Hotel Saint Paul
We have just returned from a short break at the Hotel St Paul in Rome. the staff and welcome was reassuring and caring. The location although not in the centre of Rome was very easy for travel by the Metro to any areas of Rome. The breakfasts were wholesome and filling, recommendations for restaurants from the hotel staff for evening meals were very good. The rooms were clean and decorated to a good standard. It was the staff though who made the stay in the Hotel St Paul such a success, and we thank them for making our short break so great.
More a ymca than a 4 star
To start with if you are not from Rome, as i am and you haven't got your own trasport you are stuck in what can only be described as one of the most unpleasant and unattractive area of rome poorly linked to town. the hotel itself is a typical palazzo or palazzina just renovated or still under renovation as it was the case, scaffolding were adorning the outside of the building and plenty more was going on inside. We were there at the beginning of a rather cold February for bussines and the only reason the hotel was chosen was for the convenience of the location.Big mistake !! ..Although to be fair the staff were extremely pleasant ,friendly and helpfull the hotel itself was a big disappointment .
The heating in our room was clearly not working as it wasn't anywhere else in the building and after spending the first night kept awake by the loud noise of the useless heating system which incidentally only worked if the room key was kept in the slot( pointless if you are out all day ) we were given an other room and an extra blunket to no much avail as the heating clearly wasn't doing is job. The bathroom was very small and again poorly heated by a small towel rail.. Utterly pointless !! the shower cubicle was suitable for a dwarf ...even my wife who's 5 foot tall struggled to fit in it.
As for the breakfast i can only say that the selection of food was okay....ishh although the room itself was rather unwelcoming and very cold. Our rooms ( both the same ) were reasonably spacious but the so called king size bed was particulary small ( i am only 6 foot tall ). As for the deco i guess it's a matter of taste as Ikea produces better looking quality furniture and fittings.
The 4 star classification given to this place is clearly inappropriate and an up market YMCA would have been more suitable
Great hotel, friendly staff and fantastic value for money
What can I say? The rooms were comfortable, spacious and well furnished with well stocked minibars. The bathrooms were extremely well decorated with plenty of complimentary toiletries and there were more than ample towels, pillows, sheets and blankets. We had a room with a balcony and although it overlooked the road we didn't hear much traffic noise.
The breakfast was one of the best "continental" breakfasts I've had in europe with a wide selection of meats, cheeses, sausage (hot dogs), bacon, eggs, fruits, yoghurts, cereals and an extremely wide selection of pastries and breads. There was also a selection of hot drinks and fruit juices.
Perhaps one of the best features of this hotel is its reception staff who speak extremely good english. We found them helpful, polite and very eager to please. NOTHING SEEMED TOO MUCH TROUBLE!!!
Although a fair distance from the city centre, this hotel isn't far from the metro which leads you to the major sites. We found it easier to get a taxi from the airport and then find the metro to go into town once we had deposited our luggage!!! Excellent value for money - you would be hard pressed to find as nice and friendly hotel in the centre. A word of warning though, there aren't many restaurants or bars near the hotel but we just hopped on the metro in the evening and headed into the city!!!
Unfinished, noisy and out of the way
We stayed here for 3 nights in January 2005. Our first problem was that it took us about an hour to find this place from the 'nearest' tube - near being about 15 minutes walk as the maps provided were not very clear.
The website is misleading in how close to the city it is as it is 4 stops from colloseum, about 15 minutes and also at least 15 minute walk to the tube.
The hotel is trying to be nicely decorated but is cheaply done and in our room the shower and towel rail were coming away from the wall.
Also we were put in a room with scaffolding directly outside the window and the noisy construction work began before 7 am. We were then moved to a room further away from the work and without scaffolding once we asked and could not understand why we were put in the first room originally, when there were clearly many other rooms available.
The service was quite good and the staff friendly and helpful but you would be far better paying the little extra and staying closer to the attractions and maybe even getting a real 4 star hotel as this one clearly is not.
Excellent Hotel!
Just got back from 7 nights at this hotel and I cannot really think of anything bad to say.
The hotel staff all speak english, not perfectly but what do you expect when it isn't their first language. Had no communication problems at all.
The buffet breakfest was excellent, several types of meats and cheeses, with pastries, breads, hard boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage (well okay hot dogs), fruit, cereal, and so on. It was excellent and it is served from 7am to 10:30am, we slept in one day and made it down at about 10am and everything was still out and available.
The room was an *08 room and was perfect. I would recommend anything from the 2nd floor up. Our first room was on the 1st floor and we did not like the fact that workmen could see into our bathroom so we asked for a new room and got it right away without any problems, the staff was very polite and quick about it. The new room was a similar layout as the other, it was clean and had everything you could ask for. The shower is a power shower and was excellent. The air con/heat was sweet and allowed you to set the room nicely. The floor we were on was filled and yet we heard very little noise at night. Out of the 7 nights the bed was perfect, the temperature in the room was just right. Slept like a baby.
The location is perfect, considering the price you pay. This hotel was a lot cheaper than the ones right in the centre of Rome. The transportation from this hotel to Rome is way better than being in Rome and paying an arm and a leg. The 170 bus picks you up right across the street and takes less than 20 minutes to get to the main terminal. It also stops at some sweet spots before hand so you can get off and do the sight seeing. If you want to walk to the Metro goto Marconi station it is only 6 minutes away, YES 6 MINUTES ONLY! You just walk to the main road and go left and boom you are there. It isn't confusing or too far to go. The Saint Paul stop seems to take longer since it isn't a direct route.
As for things near by, there is some shops down the street if you take the bus for 5 minutes there is a load of shops (less expensive compared to the centre of Rome), restaurants are not great in the area although the shop next to the bus stop makes nice sandwiches and has great snacks too. By Saint Paul Metro keep going and the second street on the right there is a really nice Chinese Food restaurant (cheap and very good, I know when in Rome you should be eating pasta, etc. but it was the only place we knew would be open on Christmas Day for dinner).
The hotel is still having some work done on it, only on the outside and as I said the *08 rooms and anything before that is well away from the noise and to be honest I heard very little until I walked by during the day time, never had a problem at night or in the morning.
Overall the stay was great, the price was amazing, the staff were FANTASTIC (be polite and try to speak a little Italian it goes a long way as we saw and expereniced, trust me try to learn a bit), food was great, the location was perfect for us since it was in a nice area and close to all major transportation without the problems that happen around Termini (main train station) plus the buses are always half full and they come every 20 minutes while at Termini getting packed onto a metro car with 100+ people is not a fun day out.
We stayed as I said for 7 nights, get a 7 day Metro/Bus ticket and for 16 Euro and you will not have to worry about swiping, or validating anything. With that we saw everything we wanted to and more.
Had a great time and when I go back to Rome I will be staying here as long as the prices dont change too much.
Nice, new & clean but not conveniently located or complete
My wife, mother, son & I stayed at the Hotel Saint Paul for 3 nights around the middle of November 2004.
By our assessment this is a 2.5 to 3 star hotel (not 4 as it claims). It is a "new" hotel that was previously a University building and so is in between the buildings of the Roma University 3. It would be very convenient if you are attending the University.
The Good:
- The rooms are new, clean and well maintained
- The breakfast was excellent and had ample quantities with enough variety to suit both a local and western palate.
- There is an excellent trattoria 50m away that provides outstanding local meals!
The Bad:
- Being "new" was an understatement - the Hotel is in fact still under construction so I would definitely make sure this is all complete if you are intending to stay in the next couple of months. We were awaken at 6:30AM by workmen on the weekday mornings who were painting the exterior of the building.
- If you are driving, and are staying on a week day - forget about parking. The University students double and triple park in all of the streets around the Hotel and there is no parking at the hotel.
- The location is very poor if you want to see the sites of Rome. There is nothing of note or interest in the surrounds of the hotel (The St Paul Basillica is right near the Metro - but not of great interest in comparison to the other sites of Rome). The Hotel is a 15 minute walk from the Metro (not 5 minutes as described by the hotel staff) and it is very hard to find the Hotel with the instructions from the Hotel. Best to catch a taxi from the Metro when first checking in to avoid walking the streets aimlessly.
- The lift broke twice in the 3 days we were there and the stairs were a challenge with heavy luggage. There was no assistance with our bags so it was tough going when we had to change rooms mid stay!
- The beds were very very hard.
The Ugly:
- We had some challenges with our booking and the requested room types (we booked on ----------- and there may have been some issues in the communications of the information via email) however the staff were plainly rude and difficult in resolving this and at one time insisted that we go away and leave the hotel because we did not have a booking.
If you are driving and it is the weekend (so you can park), or you can afford to catch taxi's to/from the Metro, and want a clean and new 2.5 star hotel, then the Hotel Saint Paul may suit.
However if your goal is to see Rome from a convenient location, then it is just too far from anything of interest and the Metro to be convenient so I would suggest that you look at other options closer to the centre of Rome.

ON SATURDAY morning, Sam Hinkie told his two young children that they would be moving to Philadelphia, where he would be the president of basketball operations and general manager of the 76ers. His young son asked to look at the Sixers' roster and thought it was cool that the team had a set of brothers in Jrue and Justin Holiday.
"He was impressed with that," Hinkie said.
For the sake of Sixers fans, here's hoping his father was far less impressed with the roster.

Women in the Boardroom and Their Impact on Governance and Performance
Although some argue that tokenism drives the selection of female directors, we show that they have a significant impact on measures of board effectiveness. In a large panel of data on publicly-traded firms from 1996-2003, we find that (1) the likelihood that a female director has attendance problems is 0.29 lower than for a male director, (2) male directors have fewer attendance problems the greater the fraction of female directors on the board, (3) firms with more diverse boards provide their directors with more payperformance incentives, and (4) firms with more diverse boards have more board meetings. We also show that the positive relationship between corporate performance measures and gender diversity documented by previous studies is not robust to attempts to address the endogeneity of diversity. Instead, the average effect of gender diversity on both market valuation and operating performance appears to be negative. This negative effect is driven by companies with greater shareholder rights. In firms with weaker shareholder rights, gender diversity has positive effects. Our results suggest that diverse boards are tougher monitors. Nevertheless, mandating gender quotas in the boardroom may not increase board effectiveness on average, but may reduce it for well-governed firms where additional monitoring is counterproductive.
