North Korea's Attempted Missile Launch Fails. Aired 8-9p ET
Aired April 15, 2017 - 20:00 ET
[20:00:15] ANA CABRERA, CNN ANCHOR: You are live in the CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Ana Cabrera live in New York. Thanks for joining us. I want to welcome our viewers here in the U.S. and around the world as we follow breaking news right now out of North Korea where an anxiously anticipated missile launch has failed. Still, a senior U.S. official says the threat is not over, warning that North Korea could still launch a nuclear test at anytime. Here's what we know at this hour. The missile was launched from a place near Sinpo, North Korea's east coast. The U.S. military says it was able to both detect and track it and that the missile blew up almost immediately after it was fired. Tonight this attempt comes less than 24 hours after North Korea put the world on notice, parading its military arsenal through the streets of Pyongyang, flaunting missiles, tanks, and synchronized soldiers in celebration of a major holiday there of the founding fathers. CNN is live on both sides of the DMZ just hours before Vice President Mike Pence arrives in Seoul, South Korea. I want to begin with CNN's Will Ripley right in the heart of Pyongyang. Will, how is this launch being framed there? WILL RIPLEY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's not even being acknowledged here, Ana, although it does really fit the pattern of North Korean missile test, a predawn launch, the second launch attempt this month from the eastern coastal city of Sinpo, home to North Korea's submarine base, U.S. Pacific Command saying it was a failure, you know, almost immediately after launch. And what I have experienced in the past when there have been other failed launches, and I'm inside this country, it's never reported in the state-controlled media. Of course a successful launch would be a lead story with, you know, pictures of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, triumphantly overseeing the event. Given that this appears to be -- this test appears to be a failure, probably most North Koreans, the vast majority, will never know that it happened, Ana. CABRERA: And, Will, explain the difference between this failed launch and an actual nuclear test. RIPLEY: So North Korea has conducted a number of missile launches since the beginning of last year, three dozen missile tests. It's fairly easy for North Korea to fire these. They probably don't have a warhead inside the trajectory, has them falling in the waters off the Korean peninsula, although there was a simultaneous missile launch last month where three missiles landed within 200 nautical miles of the Japanese coast prompting a coastal village to do North Korean missile drills for the first time they've had missile drills since World War II. So certainly troubling for the citizens in Japan, a key U.S. ally where 52,000 U.S. troops are based. There are 28,000 U.S. troops in Seoul, South Korea, and there's a lot of people looking at the radar to monitor these missile launches. Nuclear tests are different. These are conducted at Punggye-ri. It's an underground nuclear test site. They dig these tunnels deep into the mountains and these tunnels are built to withstand a sizeable, you know, nuclear explosion. And so we've seen the size of North Korea's nuclear explosions according to analysts who are looking at things like seismic activity because these create essentially an artificial earthquake. These explosions have been getting bigger. We know that North Korea is trying to develop a larger nuclear weapon. And when these tests happen, the U.S. and South Korea and China will send up sniffer planes and they'll put out radiation detection equipment to try to see if radiation has seeped into the outside environment. In previous tests they have been contained to that tunnel area. But the North Koreans -- they really looked very closely at what President Trump did when he dropped that MOAB, the mother of all bombs, on those ISIS tunnels in Afghanistan because in some quarters here it was perceived possibly as a threat that the U.S. may try to drop a similar bomb on underground tunnels in North Korea. I mean, they wonder would the U.S. actually try to attack their nuclear test site. Is that one of the strategic targets that could come into play? So this really is -- things are always intense on the Korean peninsula. This is certainly the most tense that I've ever experienced in 11 trips to this country. And we really don't know how the Trump administration are going to respond and how -- what Kim Jong-un is going to do. CABRERA: And we do know that the president of the U.S., President Trump has been briefed on this latest missile launch that failed, and we are expecting a statement from the White House any moment. As soon as we have that, of course, we will bring that to our viewers here. But in the meantime Vice President Mike Pence is en route right now to Seoul, South Korea. He's expected to land there in just a few hours. CNN's Paula Hancocks is there in Seoul. Paula, how is South Korea responding to this new development? [20:05:05] PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Ana, we know there's going to be a National Security Council meeting in a little less than half an hour. This is a meeting where all the top leaders of the country will be trying to figure out what kind of response they can give to North Korea. Clearly they've had a lot of experience and practice of this. It's very difficult to see what kind of different statement we will see. They always say in the past that they have a readiness posture. They say they will strongly respond if this continues but, of course, it's very difficult to see what they can do beyond that and, of course, bear in mind that there is political stalemate in this country at this point. There isn't a full president. There's just an acting president as the previous one has been impeached and imprisoned on a corruption scandal. So of course this is a very tricky situation that the Vice President Pence is arriving in. The fact that the people he will be meeting, the acting president, won't even be in power in a few weeks' time. But certainly what the South Koreans want from the United States at this point is guarantees, continued guarantees that we saw from the secretary of State, that we saw from the Defense secretary in recent weeks, that the United States is going to stick by South Korea -- Ana. CABRERA: All right. Paula Hancocks and Will Ripley reporting from both South Korea and North Korea. We appreciate it. But stay with us. Back here in the U.S. the threat posed by North Korea still looms over the Trump White House. I want to bring in my panel now. CNN military analyst and retired lo Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, CNN intelligence and security analyst and former CIA operative Bob Baer, and from the World Policy Institute, Jonathan Cristol. Jonathan, somebody asked President Trump if the massive bombing in Afghanistan that Will Ripley referred to this week was also a message to North Korea. We heard Will say that some of the people in North Korea certainly thought it was a message to them. Well, this was the president of the U.S.' answer. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: Does it send a message to North Korea? DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I don't know if it sends a message. It doesn't make any difference if it does or not. North Korea is a problem. The problem will be taken care of. (END VIDEO CLIP) CABRERA: So, Jonathan, what was your reaction when you heard that? JONATHAN CRISTOL, WORLD POLICY INSTITUTE FELLOW: Well, you know, I don't think it's news. Dropping a bomb on a country that we have been bombing regularly, going after terrorist groups and Taliban fighters, the fact that it's a larger bomb, I don't necessarily tie those two things together. Now it could be that we're showing the North Koreans what we have in terms of our armaments and what we're willing to use. Just as they are doing. I mean, North Korea when they conduct missile tests, part of this is to show this is what we're able to do. We will be able to target bases nearby. We haven't seen evidence of that yet. But that's the message they're trying to send when they assassinated Kim Jong-un's half-brother, part of that was to show, look, we have VX nerve gas. And we're willing to use that. And so both sides have an interest in showing what they are capable of doing. And with the hope that it actually alleviates the tension and allows people to walk back. CABRERA: So, General Hertling, when we were hearing from Will that, you know, these nuclear test sites are underground, it does make you think about why they use this MOAB, the mother of all bombs, in Afghanistan because it was an area where there were caves and tunnels. Could the U.S. military use that kind of a weapon to attack the nuclear sites in North Korea? LT. GEN. MARK HERTLING, CNN MILITARY ANALYST: No, I'll push back a little bit on this, Ana, and say they certainly could but it wouldn't be effective and it would not be the weapon that you would use to hit some of the tunnels and some of the complexes in North Korea but there are other weapons systems that the U.S. has that could certainly do that. You know, this whole discussion of the MOAB throughout the last week has been very interesting to me because I know why they used it in that particular area against that particular target and it was really coincidental that it occurred right at the same time that this event was occurring in North Korea and right after the missile strike in Korea. It had no connection whatsoever. This was a tactical commander's call on the ground. Now that's the reality. The perception and the second and third order effects, if other countries believe that we would use weapons like this and certainly it does send a message but that was not the intent in this particular situation. I'm sure of that. CABRERA: Bob Baer, could North Korea launch some kind of a nuclear test now after this failed missile launch to save face? ROBERT BAER, CNN INTELLIGENCE AND SECURITY ANALYST: Yes, I do, Ana, and I think they will. I think as the president goes on about taking on North Korea with or without the Chinese, the North Koreans, normal reaction will be to keep going and keep going stronger and we will continue launching nuclear weapons. [20:10:11] And our problem is, and I keep on going back to this is absence of intelligence. We do not have sources in North Korea. It all has to be done remotely from satellites. Some -- you know, their army is quite remarkable. It can move divisions without us detecting them until the last minute. So whether they will or not is -- you know, is a supposition on all of our parts but my guess is as long as the rhetoric stays the way it is, they're going to set up a nuclear test very soon. CABRERA: And I want to go back to Will for that because I know, Will, you have been there on the ground this past week and you have witnessed and heard of other military movement from North Korea. What do we know about the preparations that have been happening very recently leading up to a potential nuclear test? RIPLEY: Well, we obviously are not allowed to get close to Punggye- ri, the nuclear test site, but the satellite imagery from just a couple of days ago had showed vehicles, personnel, equipment at that nuclear test site leading people who have been observing this nuclear test site for quite some time to -- their analysis showed that they believe it's primed and ready for a sixth nuclear test. And as far as North Korea responding to actions by the United States, you know, we heard some very strongly worded responses to the USS Carl Vinson carrier strike group, you know, threats of a nuclear retaliatory strike from North Korea, which by the way isn't anything new. North Korea has many times threatened a nuclear attack to rain fire on the United States and its allies. So that's not new. What is new is there was a special forces operation that Pyongyang conducted last week. It was the same day that we saw the images of this special forces operation that were released on the same day that we saw North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in person at the ribbon cutting of a new sky scraper that he had ordered built here in Pyongyang. At the moment that we were attending this event with the North Korean leader, their state media put out these images of Kim Jong-un overseeing a special forces operation with commandos jumping out of a plane. The state media release did not necessarily a motive for that, but when I was chatting with government officials at the military parade yesterday, I was told that that special forces operation was in response to tweets from President Trump about North Korea and about China needing to solve the North Korean nuclear problem. Those same officials also said that, frankly, they're not concerned about increased economic pressure from China. Clearly Chinese trade is helping this country grow its living standard at least in the capital city. We're not allowed to get outside of the capital. We don't know what life is like for people in the countryside. Clearly their living standard is lower, but we don't know because we're not allowed to go there. But, you know, Chinese trade with North Korea jumped up nearly 40 percent in the first quarter of 2017 and despite five nuclear tests China has been reluctant over the last decade to really exert a tremendous amount of economic pressure on this country because they don't want to see a destabilized North Korean regime, they don't want to see a humanitarian crisis of North Koreans flooding across their border, but they also most certainly do not want to see any sort of military conflict between the United States and North Korea. In the Chinese view that would be catastrophic. CABRERA: And let's just go back through what we know of the last year or so. We know the last actual nuclear test was in September of 2016. Meantime this year there still has been a lot of activity of these missile launches that we've seen. In fact, this would be the fifth missile launch attempt just since February. And what we're learning about this latest missile launch that failed is the U.S. Defense official now telling us that early indications is that this failed missile was not an intercontinental ballistic missile. So, General Hertling, what's your take on that new information? HERTLING: Not unexpected, Ana. What we saw in the parade today, and both the CIA and the DIA analyst, that direct Defense Intelligence Agencies, are looking at the films and the satellite imagery from the parade today. There were a couple of key items that occurred in the parade, one was a longer missile, intercontinental ballistic missile that went through the parade longer than what the Koreans called the KN-08 and the KN-14. It was brand new. It was also the first time that they showed submarine launch ballistic missile. That's important because it's showing that their missile program is growing. But if they wanted to literally show that they had a successful launch, what they're most concerned about is something called a cold launch. That's with solid fuel versus liquid fuel in the rocket. [20:15:00] And I don't mean to turn into a geek here but what it does, it allows the North Koreans to pull a missile out and fire it immediately because it's been pre-fueled as opposed to taking a missile on the launch pad and then taking a lot of time to fuel it up. When that happens, it's not detected. They can also launch it out of a canister like a submarine so it will pop up and then the rockets ignite and then it goes on path. That's the most important thing they're looking at now as well as connecting a weapons system to the missile which they have not done yet. I would guess -- my guess would be that this was a short-range ballistic missile that they fired out at Sinpo. But they were testing the cold launch system and they wanted a success in that area. CABRERA: We do know this was the same area they launched the last one that Scud missile of some sort from the submarine zone there on the port city of Sinpo. Thank you so much for that analysis. Everyone, stay with me. We need to squeeze in another break. But much more on our breaking news. North Korea with a failed missile launch just hours before Vice President Mike Pence is due to arrive in South Korea. We will go live to Mar-a-Lago where the president has been briefed and also to China, a country with enormous influence on North Korea. We'll have much more on this day ahead. Stay with us. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [20:20:37] CABRERA: Continuing to follow breaking news. We are now being told that President Trump in Florida has been briefed on developments in North Korea. Let's go CNN's national correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, who is in Florida with the president. Suzanne, we've just learned the vice president was also briefed before he lands in South Korea. What more can you tell us? SUZANNE MALVEAUX, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Ana, we are actually getting a report from a senior administration official who is aboard Air Force Two traveling with the vice president on his way to Seoul, South Korea. I want to read you what we have at this moment here that the Vice President, Mike Pence, briefed on what the vice president's office called a failed missile launch from North Korea, that Pence was in contact with President Trump, and that this was relayed to recorders aboard the plane, that Pence was briefed on the situation in North Korea within an hour of his departure from Anchorage, Alaska. Also informed that Pence's briefing as Air Force Two was flying over the Barring Sea. Air Force Two, as we know, is currently en route still to Seoul, South Korea. Expected to land, arrive about 3:30 p.m. local time or 2:30 Eastern Time. We know that when he does land on his agenda, Ana, he's going to be talking with the acting president of South Korea about the situation. As you know as well the president also very much briefed and informed of what has occurred here. We are expecting at least a paper statement from the president himself on this. We're waiting for this. But also should let you know this is something that they were preparing for at Mar-a-Lago certainly expecting much, much more. Not a failed test but potentially sixth nuclear test. That did not happen but the deputy national security adviser, KT McFarland, traveling with the president here in Florida who has been briefing him step by step -- Ana. CABRERA: All right. Suzanne Malveaux, as you point out, this was not a nuclear test, although officials from the U.S. are saying it's still possible. That could happen at any moment. Again this was a failed missile launch. That has happened in the last couple of hours. I want to head to Beijing now. CNN international correspondent Matt Rivers is there with us. Matt, China, of course, is a key player in all of this. A key ally of sorts to North Korea. What are Chinese officials saying about these developments in North Korea? MATT RIVERS, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, no official response as of yet from Beijing but government officials here are very, very consistent in their positions. And so what's going to happen later on today is the Chinese are going to come out and they're going to ask all relevant sides, they put it, to refrain from provocative actions. They always condemn these missile tests because they say that they are in clear violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions that have been levied against North Korea in the past. But what the Chinese want to happen here is what they're calling a grand bargain. There was a commentary released in state media yesterday where they're calling for a grand bargain between Kim Jong- un and Donald Trump. They believe that the only way to firmly solve this problem, to create lasting peace on the Korean peninsula would be for the United States to go back to the negotiation table with the regime in Pyongyang. So far that obviously has not been the track that the Trump administration says it wants to take. The Trump administration regularly says that China needs to be using its economic leverage, that it does have quite a bit of over Pyongyang to get Kim Jong-un to stop developing these missiles and these nuclear weapons. So both sides very, very split on all that but later on today Chinese officials will be condemning this missile launch in all likelihood as they have done many times before. CABRERA: Now President Trump tweet this on Thursday. Let's put it up on the screen. He says, "I have great confidence that China will properly deal with North Korea. If they are unable to do so the U.S. with its allies will. USA." So how is that sentiment being received in China, Matt? RIVERS: Well, when Donald Trump tweets, Chinese officials rarely take the bait. But what I think you've seen over the past week and what we've reported on is the Trump administration has actually kind of taken a 180 on China when it comes to the way they're reacting to how China is dealing with North Korea. It was at a press conference earlier this week that President Trump had with the secretary-general of NATO where he actually praised President Xi Jinping of China quite profusely and actually pointed to the fact that the Chinese have stopped importing North Korean coal as a sign that China is working very hard as the president put it to try and solve this problem. [20:25:09] It was back in mid-February that the Chinese said that they were nearing limits to the amount of coal that countries are allowed to buy from North Korean under U.N. sanctions that were issued in 2016. The Chinese said they were nearing those limits and so they stopped importing North Korean coal. And that's a big deal because that's one of the key ways that the regime makes money, brings hard currency into the country. So the president actually was very, very effusive in his praise for China. But on the flip side very shortly after that press conference Chinese trade data that came out from the Customs Ministry here actually showed the total trade volume between North Korea and China was up nearly 40 percent in 2017 alone. And so there's kind of two sides to this. On the one hand, yes, there've been coal imports and that's a big deal. But on the other hand they're still finding ways to kind of extend that economic lifeline to the regime in Pyongyang. So in terms of, you know, how the Chinese are going to respond moving forward, the numbers kind of speak for themselves. They're not willing to cut off Pyongyang entirely and in fact trade is going up. CABRERA: And do we know, Matt, is China actually providing some of the material that Pyongyang might be using to develop these weapons? RIVERS: Well, you have two different ways that China has been alleged to have been a part of this. On the one hand because of that amount of trade they are providing hard currency to the regime in Pyongyang and they do that in a number of different ways. They allow North Korean businesses to use Chinese banks to make sure that they can continue to operate. North Korean labor comes over here. There are thousands and thousands of North Koreans that work in China every day and send that currency back home. And of course that trade that we just talked about where North Korea does buy things like seafood, like half made clothing, like other minerals besides coal. And so they do have a way to do that. So there's certainly a way that China is contributing to this. CABRERA: Gotcha. Matt Rivers, reporting in Beijing, we appreciate it. After a quick break, just into CNN, news on the expected U.S. response to this failed launch by North Korea. That's coming right up. You're live in the CNN NEWSROOM. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) ANNOUNCER: This is CNN Breaking News. [20:31:35] CABRERA: Welcome back. With the breaking news I'm Ana Cabrera. You're in the CNN NEWSROOM. A missile launch by North Korea has failed. I want to get right out to CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, near Mar-a-Lago where the president is this evening. Suzanne, what have you just learned? MALVEAUX: It is a very brief statement, I'm going to read it to you. This is from the secretary of Defense coming through in our e-mails here saying a statement by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis on a North Korea missile test. "The president and his military team are aware of North Korea's most recent unsuccessful missile launch. The president has no further comment." It is as simple as that, Ana, very brief. We were told earlier CNN had learned by U.S. officials that it would be a very understated response, very intentional. Not to give attention to North Korea. And that is the strategy, that is the tactic of the White House this evening. It has been the last 12 to 24 hours they have been looking to see whether or not North Korea would, in fact, do anything on its national holiday. That holiday past. It was after that holiday that this failed missile launch occurred and the White House has chosen to respond in a very low key manner. They do not want to give any kind of undue attention or credit to North Korea. All of this, as you know, as the vice president is on his way to Seoul, South Korea to meet with the leader there -- Ana. CABRERA: Exactly. And we are just learning that in South Korea National Security Council is now going to meet tomorrow to discuss where they go from here. Suzanne Malveaux, again reporting near Mar-a-Lago where the president is this evening, very understated response from the U.S. president. Acknowledging that this missile launch failed and really nothing beyond that. No further comment as they say. Thank you, Suzanne. I want to bring in my panel now. CNN military analyst and retired Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling, a fellow at the World Policy Institute, Jonathan Cristol, and Atlantic Council senior fellow and former State Department official, Jamie Metzl. Guys, my colleague Elise Labott also reporting from a senior U.S. official that as they assess the type of missile that was used here, it may not be the end of it. If it was medium range, there could be more launches according to this U.S. official, or there could still be a nuke test. So it seems to me, General Hertling, when I hear that, that officials are kind of on edge and they aren't really sure where this is going to go next. HERTLING: They're a bit on edge. And they're tracking it intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities across the peninsula. You saw the release by Pacific Command immediately saying they tracked it. It was off the launch pad and then exploded thereafter. Ana, they are going to have aircraft and satellite overhead. They're going to be tracking from radar to ships at sea and they're going to have all their intelligence sources watching this and others. And the focus is certainly going to be on Sinpo where the missiles are launched from. That's their test facility as well as Punggye-ri. That's where the nuclear test could occur, it's where it's occurred in the past. So all of those places are being watched. And you know, as you know, we have the ships across the sea, all the patriot missiles are alert in South Korea, the Aegis cruisers that are part of that carrier task group are ready to shoot anything down that threatens either Japan or South Korea. [20:35:03] So there is a readiness factor there. What I found interesting, though, was the statement that Suzanne just read came from the secretary of Defense and not the president's office. That seemed a little odd to me. CABRERA: Why is that? HERTLING: Well, because the secretary of Defense, rightfully so, he's not going to comment on what comes next but if the president was informed you would think the presidential spokesman would say something as opposed to the secretary of Defense. But that's just the way in the past it's been done. So Mister -- President Trump has changed his protocol on this, I assume. CABRERA: Jamie Metzl, let me bring you into the conversation and welcome to our conversation as we are continuing to dissect and figure out what's going to happen in North Korea especially how the U.S. might respond. What do you make of this response? Let me read it to you one more time. JAMIE METZL, SENIOR FELLOW, ATLANTIC COUNCIL: UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure. CABRERA: "The president and his military team are aware of North Korea's most recent unsuccessful missile launch. The president has no further comment." The statement coming from the Defense Secretary James Mattis. METZL: Well, it's very, very interesting. President Trump put a lot of pressure on the North Koreans and the Chinese put a lot of pressure on the North Koreans. And the North Koreans had three options. It was the Goldilocks options. They could go big, which would be a nuclear test. They could go middle which would be some kind of pre- ICBM or something moving towards the development of an ICBM. And then they could do this minimal, it's kind of the smallest thing. They had to do something. In North Korea -- there was all of this hype and all of this pressure and North Korea didn't do anything, then on Monday everybody was saying -- would be saying wow, President Trump won. He put all this pressure on the North Koreans and they are very rational actors. They can't allow that to happen. So this goes at minimal -- this is kind of as little as they could do to not create a bigger crisis. CABRERA: And yet Trump is so unpredictable. Right, Jonathan? I mean, you've written about this maneuvering between Kim Jong-un versus President Trump, two people who both are somewhat unpredictable. How do you see this maneuvering taking shape as we get this statement? CRISTOL: Well, you know, I think that, you know, as Jamie was saying, that Kim Jong-un has proven to be a rational actor and these continued tests also make sense. They are not random. They come at times of anniversaries and political events in the region such as Trump meeting with Abe -- not in the region but an even that -- CABRERA: Right. CRISTOL: Leads to the region and then -- CABRERA: happened when the Japanese prime minster was here at Mar-a- Lago. CRISTOL: Exactly. And they want to see what they can get away with. You know, and I would actually say that in some ways Kim Jong-un is behaving as a more traditional leader than Trump is. CABRERA: Well, that's interesting. CRISTOL: That is not a value judgment, obviously I'm not -- I do not favor Kim Jong-un in this, but he is limit-testing and seeing what he can get away with because he has this new president who has said, you know, options one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and 10 are on the table. And he doesn't know who he's going to listen to and he's not going to tell anyone what's coming. And so I think that -- CABRERA: Does that scare you a little bit, that unpredictability, and that now kind of silence about what could come next? CRISTOL: It makes me a little bit nervous but, you know, the actual guidance that he asked for from the Pentagon which was just released I think within the last 24 hours basically says watch closely and wait. Containment is not a radical difference from any of the policies of the past. And if Trump defers to the Defense Department and to the experts on this I could breathe a little bit easier. But if he leaves it to himself and thinks that Kim is some like young kid who doesn't know what he's doing and is kind of going bonkers, I would -- that would actually make me very nervous. METZL: And one thing that Kim is actually calling President Trump's bluff because the question for the North Koreans is how much pressure are the Chinese ultimately going to put on Pyongyang? And the North Koreans are betting that there's a limit to how far China will go because, still, China values North Korea as whatever it is, and there's no love lost between them. But China would still rather have even a hostile nuclear armed North Korea on its border than a reunified Korea potentially allied to the United States. And so President Trump has real limitations to what he can do and Kim is calling that bluff in a very smart and strategic way. CABRERA: Gentlemen, stay with me. We've got to squeeze in a quick break. But there's much more to discuss. Again we have been continuing to follow this latest news out of North Korea. As you see there on the banner in the bottom of your screen, North Korea, has launched a missile that failed. Right now the latest information is that it failed almost right after it departed from the port city of Sinpo. And it all comes on the heels of this major military parade that happened in the last 24 hours in North Korea. [20:40:06] On a major holiday there celebrating the birth of the founding father, Kim Jong-un's grandfather, in North Korea in which they also displayed all kinds of missiles or at least mock-ups of missiles including what they say is an intercontinental ballistic missile. We'll continue to follow this and be right back with more information. Stay with us. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) ANNOUNCER: This is CNN Breaking News. CABRERA: The U.S. Defense secretary issuing a statement on North Korea's military action today. It's a short statement so I can read that to you. This is retired General James Mattis saying, quote, "The president and his military team are aware of North Korea's most recent unsuccessful missile launch. The president has no further comment." And with me now from Pyongyang CNN's Will Ripley and also alongside me here in New York, Atlantic Council senior fellow and former State Department official Jamie Metzl. [20:45:06] I'll go to you first, Will. You have been there to North Korea now 11 times. You've spent the last week on the ground there. You were there for the parade. That was now yesterday. North Korean time. Since you guys are about 12 hours ahead of us here Eastern Time in the U.S. Give us a sense of what the feel is on the ground in North Korea right now. RIPLEY: There's a real sense of defiance on the ground here in North Korea after the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un unveiled his growing missile arsenal. We were speaking with people after the parade. We were asking them about the fact that many expected a sixth nuclear test and that did not happen and people were telling us that they felt that what North Korea did here in Pyongyang yesterday by showing these two never-before-seen intercontinental ballistic missiles was perhaps even more powerful than a nuclear test because it was a way to show the world what North Korea has in its arsenal. These are missiles that could potentially deliver a nuclear warhead to the mainland U.S., although at this point we don't know how far along these missile mock-ups are and their capability. It's standard practice for countries around the world to put mock-ups of missiles in display. In military parades, they wouldn't put the real thing in front of, you know, crowds of hundreds of people in close proximity to their -- all of their national leadership but they do say that they are in possession of viable weapons and that they continue to test and continue to develop. So the mood is defiance. The mood is optimism that if the United States were to take military action against North Korea that they could respond in force and potentially, you know, use these weapons. CABRERA: So, Jamie, I'm wondering for you when you look at what we see in that military parade and then we learn that they've done this launch of a missile that failed thankfully, why do you think they would have done a missile launch should they have had the capability of doing a nuclear test instead. METZL: Because they were under a lot of pressure. President Trump certainly has raised the temperature in the region. China has put a lot of pressure on North Korea. And there was a risk. If they did take -- if they did have a nuclear test this time, they didn't know what was going to happen and there was additional variability. On the other hand, if they did nothing, the story on Monday would have been that Kim -- CABRERA: They did nothing. METZL: Kim backs down and that would have weakened him as well. So this was really a -- the porridge is just right kind of position by the North Koreans and that's why there's a whole lot of theater. I mean, Will mentioned these missiles and nobody knows whether inside those canisters there are missiles or livestock or anything else, but this is all about theater and symbolism. And certainly it's bad for Kim that this missile launch didn't work. But everybody is positioning and everybody is trying to figure out where they fit relative to China, the United States and the Koreas. CABRERA: We know that Vice President Mike Pence is on his way right now to South Korea. METZL: Yes. CABRERA: This was a visit that had been planned well in advance of all the developments of the past week in terms of this heightened escalation of rhetoric between North Korea and the U.S. METZL: Right. CABRERA: If you were Mike Pence and you're heading to South Korea now all that's happened in just the last few hours, what is your priority when you're on the ground in South Korea? METZL: Well, the biggest thing is to reassure the South Koreans that the United States-South Korean alliance is strong. And South Korea, as you know, just recently impeached their president. So they're a month away from their elections and how the U.S. is handling North Korea is a critical issue in those elections. So this is a very, very complicated environment that Vice President Pence is stepping into. CABRERA: Do you think it was odd that the president of the U.S. didn't come out and issue a statement himself? METZL: It was odd but everything is odd that this president does, and so we're certainly -- if there is a playbook, it's a different playbook than we've known or the world has known. And right now -- CABRERA: And yet he hasn't -- he hasn't withheld from tweeting. METZL: Yes, well, who knows what -- who knows what he was -- as a matter of fact in the car over here we were looking at his Twitter and it was the wrong Twitter, it was like a fake Donald Trump account. He was talking about who would trust somebody who has a bad haircut. And we were thinking, god, did President Trump really tweet that? Because we just don't know. In the world there's a level of insecurity about what Donald Trump could do and so we're seeing a little more caution from North Korea. But there's also a much greater level of variability in the world and that is also very dangerous. CABRERA: Right. Jamie Metzl and Will Ripley, our thanks to both of you. Quick break. We'll be right back. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) [20:53:58] CABRERA: Ebola, Zika, bird flu, recent outbreaks of these deadly diseases have claimed thousands of lives and the worst might be yet to come. CNN's new original film "UNSEEN ENEMY" looks at where the next disease outbreak might come from and what we can do to stop it. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Over the last decades there have been about 30 newly emerging diseases that have the potential be pandemics. If we do nothing, it's not a matter of if there will be a global pandemic, it's just a matter of when and which virus and how bad. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The world changes around us at increasing speed. We cause a lot of that change. Migrating to cities, stripping the earth of its resources, and altering primeval jungle. (END VIDEO CLIP) CABRERA: You can catch the CNN film "UNSEEN ENEMY" next right here on CNN. That's going to do it for me for now. I'm Ana Cabrera and we appreciate you joining us this weekend here on CNN. [20:55:02] Don't forget we will be following this breaking news out of North Korea, the failed missile launch and what happens next, as the vice president heads to South Korea and should be there any moment in the next few hours, touching down. And we'll continue our coverage right now on CNN.com. And I'll be back here tomorrow night at 5:00 p.m. Eastern. Have a great night. (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

What is the most important part of your manufacturing activity The factory, the store manufacturing activity Perhaps all of them? If you are in manufacturing, these three comprise of your entire business, and damage to any of these directly affects your earnings.
You may try and minimize the chances of predictable harm, mishandling, wastage, etc. of the machines, building, and material, but there will always be a minuscule chance of a mishap. Even with all the technology and expertise, it's not possible to entirely rule out natural calamities, burglaries, break-ins, theft, etc.
Therefore, it becomes imperative that some damage control and repair mechanism is used to not just minimize the damage but also, to ensure that business remains financially sound. It can be achieved through insurance, and the type of insurance you will seek to ensure the safety of your business's health is the 'factory and warehouse insurance.'
What is it?
Factory and warehouse insurance, as the name suggests, offers to cover the hazards (damage risks) a plant or a warehouse could be exposed to, for example, flooding, fire, lightning strike, burglary, breakdown, etc.
If by any chance, any of the goods, machinery or the building gets damaged by any of the incidents covered under the policy; the insurer shares the burden of loss with the insured business.
What is covered?
While running a manufacturing unit, you must be aware of the multitude of assets your unit has that are exposed to various levels of risks. For example, the building itself needs routine repairs, the storehouse must be regularly checked for seepage, etc., and all these assets have different value to your business.
Under the comprehensive cover the following assets can be included:
- Factory and Warehouse Building
- Money in the safe or cash drawer
- Raw, in process and finished stocks
Machinery have a separate insurance for static parts, though you can cover the business interruption costs due to machine failures. Thus, comprehensive cover for your factory and warehouse will also cover:
- The Cost of business interruption and
- Any third-party liability (public liability) arising due to damage to plant and warehouse.
How to Get it?
It's a simple three-step process:
Step 1: Identify the assets you need to cover with insurance
(Remember that assets that deteriorate quickly or are moving machine parts like conveyor belt etc. are not insurable)
Step 2: Evaluate offers from different insurers
Step 3: Complete the documentation and pay the premium
Identifying your valuable assets is important, though the valuation for the insurance will be done by the surveyor from the insurance company. This is one of the hidden benefits of buying factory and warehouse insurance. The insurance assessors are usually very experienced professionals in warehouse safety and structure, and their reports and suggestions can be quite useful for your business in making your storage safe and also enjoying a good discount on the premium for the policy.
Key Factors that can Influence the cost of insurance are as follows:
- Age of the structure and machinery
- Type of Materials/Chemicals used in the factory (flammable/corrosive/non-flammable etc.)
- Arrangement of fire and hazard control systems
- Electronic Security and surveillance systems etc.
- Reinstatement or Cash value basis
How Will It Work?
Well, insurance kicks in whenever there is a mishap like, fire due to reasons excluded in the agreement with the insurer, and the fire damages the building or the goods within the building. That does not mean that insurer will pay off or share every amount of loss.
Most general insurance policies follow proportionate, deductible and co-pay rules. This means that the business will have to bear the loss up to a certain amount or share the burden with the insurer or both.
Proportionate clause kicks in whenever there is a gap between the actual value of the asset and the sum assured purchased.
For example, your warehouse had goods worth Rs. 5 crores when the accident occurred and the sum assured on your storage insurance is of Rs. 4 crores. If goods worth Rs. 100,000 have been destroyed in the accident insurer will be liable for only Rs. 80,000 (100000 x 4/5).
Where to Buy?
As discussed earlier the covering your manufacturing unit along with the ancillaries can be a simple three step process. Once you are through with step one, you will need to connect to various insurers to understand and compare their plans. This can be done the traditional way by manually comparing each of the plans and then selecting one or two based on your needs. But a faster way to compare and choose is through the web portals offered by insurers and insurance brokers. Insurance brokers in this category have the advantage over individual insurance companies as they can provide quotes from multiple insurers.

I'm seeing the weakness in JDSU and feel that if we are truly at a turning point in the Fiber Optics space, then JDS Uniphase (JDSU) shares are still massively undervalued and they are also one of the prime institutional "go to" names. I can almost guarantee the shares of JDSU are under-owned throughout the big money set. Also, the last quarter was nearly great and JDSU still has a material catalyst coming.
As I wrote in the my "5 Stocks for the Apple TV" some months ago, back in April: "JDS Uniphase (JDSU) -- This may seem like an odd entry here, but as MRVL has the "Kinect effect" -- it's even stronger for JDSU. JDSU makes critical fiber optic components that allow for the gesture recognition in these gaming devices to work. JDSU has already been in active development with this same technology for TV's, automotive, PC's, home security and likely defense applications. Bottom line, JDSU is one of the leaders in optical gesture recognition technology. Also, a 50% move here is probably the easiest hurdle for the companies on the list. I actually think this name is close to a 2-3 bagger in 2 years or less. Near-term, JDSU is backing off it's $14's highs it hit in the after hours after the most recent report. I think any move close to $1.50 or more off that $14 level is attackable for trading purposes."
I've been writing about the AAPL TV for some time and one of the primary features I've long talked about is the potential for a very high level of interactivity. I believe gesture Tech will be a huge feature in operating the new TV, the built in DVR and likely also embedded gaming features.
Moreover, I'm starting to see others picking up on this potential and JDSU provided more clues on their latest earnings call -- "We also continue to develop new applications for gesture recognition, another adjacency. We recently signed an advanced development contract with a major customer in the home entertainment area. We are collaborating with several others on related commercial applications. This is in addition to ongoing work related to our current customers in the next-gen platform. As we mentioned on a previous earnings call, we expect new applications for gesture recognition to launch within the next 12 to 18 months."
Bottom line, JDSU is not priced for any material uptick/turn in the broad Fiber Optics space, and it's certainly not priced as a key Apple (AAPL) supplier. Let alone being priced for a combination of both.

Scripps' Earnings Fall 80 Percent
Fourth-quarter net earnings fell 80 percent at the E.W. Scripps Co. due to lower newspaper and television advertising and an investment write-down.
Net income for the quarter ended Dec. 31 totaled $9.5 million, or 12 cents per share, compared with $48.3 million and 61 cents in the same period a year ago. Revenues fell 18 percent to $375 million from $459.6 million.
Earnings per share from core operations were 52 cents, down from 69 cents a year ago but better than the 49-cent expectation of Wall Street analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial/First Call.
The investment losses included a $29 million, pre-tax write-down to reflect the decline in value of Scripps' holdings in AOL Time Warner.
The write-down partially offset a pre-tax gain of $65.9 million, or 54 cents per share, from the first quarter of 2001 from the exchange of the company's shares in Time Warner for those of America Online, which acquired Time Warner last January.
Scripps said its AOL Time Warner holdings, now worth about $60 million, grew from a $2.1 million investment in Turner Broadcasting in 1987, which was subsequently acquired by Time Warner.
For all of 2001, Scripps earned $138 million, or $1.73 per share, compared with $163.5 million and $2.06 a year ago. Revenues fell 15 percent to $1.46 billion from $1.72 billion.
Based on advance sales, first-quarter advertising revenue for Scripps Networks is expected to be down between 5 percent and 10 percent from last year, and newspaper and broadcast television ad revenues will be down 2 percent to 4 percent, Scripps said.
The E.W. Scripps Co. operates 21 daily newspapers, 10 television stations and three cable television networks: Home & Garden Television, Food Network and Do It Yourself Network. Scripps in March plans to begin a fourth cable network, Fine Living.
The company also operates Scripps Howard News Service; United Media, the worldwide licensing and syndication home of the Peanuts and Dilbert comic strips, and 31 Web sites, including hgtv.com, foodtv.com, diynet.com and comics.com.

I beginning to think that Steve Jobs has been watching too many of his commercials and is becoming just as arrogant as those douche bags portrayed.
In this interview with CNBC, the interviewer mentions to Steve (blow) Jobs how Robbie Bach of Microsoft is beginning to think that the Zune is "now a worthy competitor to Apple's iPod."
Rather than having an intelligent discussion with the interviewer on why Robbie may be mistaken, or something of the sort, Steve-O Replies with a snide: "Was he inebriated? Do you even know anyone who owns a Zune?"
The same exact thing could have been said about Apple 10 years ago.
I'm not too keen on my knowledge of the Zune, but doesn't it have pretty much the same features as the iPod plus: being able to share songs, FM Radio, wireless sync with your computer for the same price?
I suddenly forgot that we live in a free-market economy where competition is encouraged.

Dipping ceased to be compulsory in 1992 leading to a greater incidence of sheep scab with an estimated 60-fold increase in disease on UK farms1.
In spite of having 4 medicinal active ingredients available with 16 different brands/preparations licenced and available in the UK, we are still struggling to get this disease under control.
Scab is still a major concern for UK sheep producers as it has a significant impact on the health, welfare and productivity of affected animals.
What is Sheep Scab?
Sheep scab is a disease caused by the mite Psoroptes ovis which lives on the skin surface where it feeds. The faeces produced by the sheep scab mite cause a severe allergic dermatitis resulting in the 'scabby' lesions which we associate with the later stages of the disease.
The mites are transferred from animal to animal by direct contact or on 'fomites'; pieces of wool containing sheep scab mites. These mites are able to survive for 17 days without a host to feed from making it challenging to control and the potential for re-infection high.
Infestations can be debilitating, have a detrimental impact on welfare and can lead to severe economic losses. The Sheep Health and Welfare Group report 2016 states that the annual estimated cost of sheep scab in the UK is £8.3 million!2
Clinical signs include:
- Restlessness,
- Rubbing against fence posts,
- Soiled/stained areas of wool,
- Head tossing/biting,
- Pulled wool appearance leading to eventual wool loss,
- Open bleeding wounds and 'scabby' lesions,
- Loss of condition,
- Death
First and foremost get a diagnosis from your vet. The clinical signs of lice and sheep scab infestation can be identical- particularly in the early stages.
The other complicating factor is that both diseases are contracted in the same way; through poor biosecurity. Therefore this means there is nothing to prevent animals from being dual infected with sheep scab and lice. Just because you can visualise lice it does not confirm that the animals are not also infected with sheep scab!
Your vet can perform skin scrapes on clinically affected animals or can perform blood samples to detect antibodies to infection before clinical signs become apparent.
In the UK we have four options for controlling sheep scab (table 1). A key consideration for parasite control strategies is ensuring that we use the correct active ingredient at the correct time.
When we use dual endo- and ecto-parasiticides for sheep scab control (the macrocyclic lactones) we are targeting both internal and external parasites.
When we dip (using Diazinon) we only target external parasites.
The highest incidence of sheep scab occurs during the winter months. At this time of year gastrointestinal roundworms are generally present in lower burdens and less likely to cause disease requiring treatment than during the grazing season. To continuously expose these small burdens to anthelmintics (wormers) increases the rate of development of resistance.
SCOPS mirror this sentiment: "For the macrocyclic-lactone (clear 3-ML) wormers there has been a marked increase in recent years, probably linked to their widespread use as endectocides for the treatment of sheep scab. Action to try to preserve this group is now imperative."3
Remember that the sheep scab mite can survive for 17 days without a host to feed from so re-infection must be controlled by using a product/protocol which provides protection for longer than this or by moving them to clean grazing/housing.
Table 1. Active Ingredients Licenced for the control of sheep scab
Active Ingredient
Organophosphate dip
Dipping treats and protects for up to 4 weeks
Macrocyclic Lactones
2 injections 7 days apart
1 injection and move to clean area
Moxidectin 1%
2 injections 10 days apart
Moxidectin 2%
1 injection provides 60 days protection
Good biosecurity is key to controlling this disease. It is impossible to tell simply by looking at animals if they have been recently exposed to Psoroptes ovis. In the early stages the disease can be asymptomatic with no visible evidence of itchy sheep. Just because the animals do not appear to be itchy and do not have pulled wool/bald patches/lesions, does not mean that they are not carrying sheep scab mites.
When purchasing new animals they should either be presumed infected and treated or an ELISA test should be utilised to assess the risk. The flock should be kept separate from other sheep at the periphery of the farm (e.g. double fencing).

Forgiveness is not excuse-making
Anyway, he makes the point that forgiveness starts after we have made all possible excuses for the other person, found all possible extenuations. Strictly logically speaking, if some act of another really did simply arise out of a misunderstanding or really was not a fault, then the person doesn't need forgiveness. Thus, to the extent that we "explain away" things that annoy us from our friends (or our enemies), we aren't forgiving them but rather excusing them. Now, justice and truth demand that we should try to discern events accurately, so if we are truly finding extenuations that exist objectively (as opposed to manufacturing them because we are motivated to do so), then that is merely a matter of being fair.
Mentally, when one is angry, it feels as though the psychological movement to find explanations and extenuations for the other person's actions is the beginning of forgiveness. It may be a psychological preparation for it, but in fact it isn't forgiveness. Forgiveness is needed for an actual fault, for actual wrong-doing. So it's when you say to yourself, "Yes, but even so, my friend was still wrong" that forgiveness actually gets started. It's that "still wrong" part that you have to forgive him for.
For some reason I often find this reflection rather freeing. After all, if we were all either perfect or merely involved in misunderstandings or accidents, no forgiveness would ever be necessary. If I never did anything actually wrong, I wouldn't need to be forgiven either. All my apparent wrong-doings could be explained away. But of course, I do sometimes really need to be forgiven. And the same goes for others. So when one says, especially of a dearly loved friend, "Yes, but that was just not right!" one's mental reply to oneself should be, "Of course it wasn't. That's the part you forgive him for!" The temptation, instead, is to go on niggling away at it, trapped in a false dichotomy: Either I find an excuse for this, so it wasn't really wrong, or else I go on being angry, perhaps until and unless I get an apology acceptable to myself, an apology that propitiates my anger. Well, that's baloney. It's a false dichotomy perpetuated by the Devil, maybe even personally put into your mind by your own personal Screwtape. It is both unbiblical and untrue. "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" has no room for it.
I throw this reflection out today in the hopes that it will catch someone at a moment when it can do the most good. Go ahead and forgive your friend (or your enemy) in your own heart and mind and before God, and do so precisely because you can't find any full excuse for his actions. Because you can be sure that there isn't any full excuse for your actions sometimes either, so forgive as you hope to be forgiven.

So, this forgiveness stuff: I have to offer it even if the offender never apologizes, isn't sorry, and keeps on doing it just because he likes to?
- Lydia McGrew said...
That's a good and a complicated question, Bill. I believe, if I recall correctly, that I and some commentators discussed it here before, but I can't recall if you were in the discussion.
My own belief is that, following Jesus' example on the cross, we are supposed to forgive even those who are not sorry, but that this does not mean that God will not hold them accountable for their sins if they do not repent and thereby accept the forgiveness offered to them on Calvary. Moreover, the tacit injunction in the Lord's Prayer does not seem to contain an exception for those who have not apologized.
However, forgiveness doesn't mean continuing to put yourself in the same position vis a vis the other person so that he can harm you again. So, to take a simple and relatively mild case, if a person has been nasty to me on the Internet, I'm not obliged to keep on logging into his site and letting him have another whack at me if that's what I expect him to do. If a woman is beaten by her husband, she isn't obliged to keep on subjecting herself to the abuse. Forgiveness is compatible with separation from the other person. It is also compatible with not trusting the person in the future. If the person has been borrowing money and refusing to repay it, you don't have to keep lending him more money, for example. And it's also compatible with allowing and even applauding earthly justice. So, for example, the family of a murder victim is not obligated, and in my opinion not wise, to write to the governor and ask him to commute the death penalty of the murderer. Doing so is no necessary implication of their forgiving the murderer of their loved one.
Forgiveness involves wishing the person's highest good, wishing that he would repent, praying for his soul.
I add that I also deliberately put into the post that bit about an apology that propitiates my anger. Because let's face it: Many of us are hard to satisfy when it comes to apologies, and nothing can be further from the spirit of forgiveness enjoined upon us than mentally setting ourselves up to refuse to forgive the person unless he gives what we consider to be a "really good" apology which makes us feel mollified. I don't know about you, but that's a real temptation for me.
- William Luse said...
Heh. Yeah. "Really good." In my case, it doesn't have to be lengthy, but I must believe it to be sincere. My greater temptation, though, is not to forgive at all, absent the apology. In some cases, I can "disappear" people from my life without a pang. It's really quite awful, made worse by the fact that many of the things to which we take offense are not worth the investment in enmity.
This seems in direct violation of the commandment, which appears directed first and foremost to the good of the soul of the forgiver, not that of the offender. Should the latter be touched by it and repent, that is good, but it is a secondary effect. The primary effect should be that the one offended simply and unequivocally forgive, for his own sake. Christianity is a hard bargain.
Hi, it might implicit in Mt 18:21-22 (given the parable later where the servant showed contrition before being forgiven) and Lk 17:3-4, that repentance is maybe a necessary condition of forgiveness (although it may just be a sufficient one too). Or, might want to distinguish between forgiveness offered and forgiveness received, or having a forgiving attitude vs actually forgiving.

- Wow.
- I too was that "good" girl and based my righteousness on my actions. When I did commit one of those sins you listed (as if I wasn't already sinning with my pride in myself) I went into deep depression because I placed so much weight on being "good." When I realized (like you) that He is good and my righteousness (actions) are like filthy rags it gave me a new freedom. I was a slave to my misguided perceptions and my so called perfection. Christ offered me a freedom based on who He was and not what I did or did not do. He loved me in spite of me. That for me was freeing. Thank you for sharing this post. Now I see that I wasn't the only misguided one...lol...I'm sure there are many more of us. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
- I am in tears after reading this! This spoke to me! I can relate! Just a while ago my selfishness rose her head and placed pressure on an old friend to be my superhero. God is the only superhero! He is near ready to comfort! Lord you have spoken! May God Bless this ministry!
- This is a much needed topic in the church today. I dont know whats worse these church floks that fill your head with lies or that christian mingle commercial?
- Very wise words, son. Hopefully, they are listening with spiritual ears and a heart to obey.

Payments to Non-Resident Financial Intermediaries — Update on Canadian Withholding Tax Obligations
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has amended its administrative position on Canadian withholding tax obligations on payments of interest, dividends, royalties, etc., to non-residents to be effective on January 1, 2012 (now extended to January 1, 2013). As previously discussed in New Developments in Canadian Withholding Tax Obligations — New Forms Signal the End of the "Address Rule", the new guidelines impose greater due diligence and reporting duties on persons paying amounts to non-resident beneficial owners of Canadian securities (debt, equity and trust securities), particularly where the non-resident wishes to claim treaty benefits that reduce the rate of withholding.
In a recent technical interpretation,1 the CRA considered whether administrative relief is available where payments are made to a foreign financial intermediary (FFI) that holds Canadian securities for Canadian resident beneficial owners. An FFI may have included securities held by Canadian resident holders in an "omnibus" account with those of non-resident holders entitled to a 0% withholding rate by reason of the application of Canadian domestic rules or a tax treaty.
The CRA's position is that administrative relief from Canadian withholding tax would not be available for payments made to an FFI in such circumstances. The reason for not providing relief is that the CRA is concerned about tax compliance where a Canadian resident beneficial owner is using a foreign agent or nominee (i.e., the FFI). Thus, all payments to FFIs for underlying Canadian resident beneficial owners will be subject to the full 25% withholding tax.2 Further, the FFI will be required to comply with Canadian tax reporting.3
Limited relief is available, however, to exempt entities such as a registered pension plan that hold Canadian securities through an FFI. The exempt entity would need to apply to the CRA to obtain a letter confirming that no Canadian tax needs to be withheld by the person paying the amounts to the FFI or by the FFI.4
CRA concludes with the statement that taxpayers who discover that they are in breach of their withholding obligations may wish to consider making a voluntary disclosure. Our Tax Group is available to assist taxpayers that find themselves in this predicament.

2 Under Part XIII of the Income Tax Act (Canada).
3 Forms T5 and T5 Summary.
4 Note that tax reporting by the FFI (Form T5) would still be required.

Charles Krauthammer's weekly column this morning expresses a devastating assessment of the Democratic Party based only partly on Tuesday's election results. According to Krauthammer, "The message of the 2002 election is that the Democrats remain brain-dead, and that ideas — lack of ideas — have consequences." His concluding observations pay tribute to President Bush, and suggest that the American people have taken his measure. The column is "The Uses of Political Courage."
I don't understand where on the political spectrum Michal Lind is nowadays, but he is a very smart guy, with a Deacon-like knowledge of American history. The Financial Times carries his evaluation of Tuesday's election results, and it is worth reading. With thanks to our friends at RealClearPolitics for bringing it to our attention, the column is "The Emerging Democratic Minority."

Company Overview:
Sunbury Press, Inc., headquartered in Mechanicsburg, PA is a publisher of hard cover, trade paperback, and digital books featuring established and emerging authors in many fiction and non-fiction categories. Sunbury's books are sold through leading booksellers worldwide.
Our Mission:
"Continue the Enlightenment". During the 18th century, a societal shift occurred based on the core values of a strong belief in rationality and science and the critical questioning of traditional institutions, customs, and morals. Out of this era came the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. This "Age of Reason" has shaped our Western tradition and continues to resonate to this day throughout the globe. At Sunbury Press, we champion these core values and support authors who challenge "the establishment", regardless of their socio-economic status or nationality.
We help authors who help themselves". In this age of rapid technological change; of eBooks and self-publishing, some have declared publishers will go the way of the brick and mortar chain stores. At Sunbury Press, we know better than that. All authors love the creative process and want to be successful writers, but most authors do not enjoy or have the knowledge and or skills to make a successful product from their precious work - to edit, design, format, distribute, market, account, protect, sell - to handle the business side of the equation. At Sunbury Press, we partner with our authors, doing for each other what we each do best.
Company History:
Founded in 2004 by Lawrence Knorr, the company is named after Sunbury, PA - a Susquehanna River town very close to the Mahantongo & Lykens Valleys. The company's first books were genealogical titles related to these areas and the Pennsylvania German communities that thrived nearby.
Sunbury Press publishes between 50 and 70 manuscripts per year, selected from the 1,000+ received through our submission site. As a traditional publisher, we do not charge our authors for services. We only publish what we believe we can sell and pay our authors royalties on par or better than prevailing market rates.
Our Owners:
Lawrence Knorr has been involved with book publishing for fifteen years. He holds an MBA from Penn State University, and is a Project Management Professional (PMP). Lawrence's 32 year career in information technology, as a programmer, analyst, project manager, CEO and Chief Information Officer has prepared him well for the "Age of Content" - the new era of eBooks, data integration, eCommerce and networks. Lawrence has taught business and project management courses for fifteen years, and is the author or coauthor of eleven books. He is also an award-winning digital artist.
Tammi Knorr is an award-winning photographer, recently retired from a 24 year IT consulting career. She is very adept at marketing, organization, project management, and accounting.

Today is my day to re-introduce myself to all of the Page's fans! My name is Andi and I'm your Page's Design Team Coordinator!
I am a Stay-at-Home-Mom to a 3 year old boy named Adam who is the primary subject of all my page layouts. I just celebrated my 5 year wedding anniversary to my HS sweetheart and I live in Redlands. I met Kathy and became a HUGE fan of Page's from the Heart while I was an Ambassador for QuicKutz (now LifeStyle Crafts). I also run a handmade business from my home and have a shop on etsy. I started out as an avid scrapbooker while I was in my teens, but now love to try it all. I enjoy creating layouts, cards, party decor, projects, mini-albums... if it has to do with playing with paper and crafting supplies, sign me up! When I'm not as my craft island, I'm probably at my sewing machine, reading my NOOK, teaching a papercrafting class somewhere or on a trip to Disneyland with my son!
I am a very clean, linear papercrafter, you'll never see a picture askew on my layout! I love a lot of companies, but am inspired by paper more than anything! I enjoy October Afternoon, Cosmo Cricket, Graphic45,Jenni Bowline, Jillibean, Lillybee... and that's just a few!! I'm super excited to be the Design Team Coordinator for Page's and am excited for this next term!
I look forward to meeting all of our Page's fans at the Holiday Cheer Event on November 12th and 13th!
Have a great weekend!

You need to drop the tranny to install the phantom grip.
To install it, remove the transaxle housing and set it bellhousing down on a piece of wood.
There are ten bolts i believe that hold the bell housing on, remove them and then using the 2 pry tabs(small notches in the case along the bellhousing/gearbox seam) gently walk the bell housing off. There is some anerobic sealant there which will make the halves not want to come apart, just be gentle but firm with it and it'll come apart.
Now lift the gearbox off of the bell housing once they are seperated, the differential will remain in the bellhousing. Simply pick it up and set it ring gear up.
There is a small hole in the back of the diff, through which you will need to drive out the roll pin with a punch.
This will allow you to remove the centershaft and install the phantom grip.
Be careful not to loose any of hte thrust washers in the spider housing.
This would also be an excellent time to install a PhantomGrip Diff Saver Diff Pin, or to have the differential welded. If you have the diff welded, do not reinstall the roll pin.
Slide the Phantom Grip into the differential and reinstall the centershaft.
Either set up some 2x4's or get a friend to hold the gearbox housing up while you clean the mating surface for the bell housing with some scotch brite, taking care not to get any large chunks of anything into the transaxle. Do the same on the bellhousing. Once the surfaces are clean and dry, set the differential in the gearbox half of the transaxle, and apply a bead of anerobic sealant(hondabond is excellent, available from your local honda dealership) or black RTV(the right stuff ultra black RTV is the only one i've found that will withstand gear oil for an extended period of time) around the sealing surface, taking care not to get any in the transaxle itself and reinstall the bell housing.
Walk the bolts down till they are snug, then torque to 22lb ft(i think, will check fsm when i locate it) and your good to go. By the time you have the transaxle reinstalled back in the vehicle, the sealant on the case halves will be set enough to hold up to the gear oil.

How You Can Go Through Divorce the Easy Way
Marital problems usually end in divorce. There can be several reasons for getting a divorce but usually, there's conflict involved. For instance, physical and/or emotional abuse or any form of violence, is a common reason for couples to split up. Infidelity is also a serious offense. It leads to loss of intimacy and connection between couples. Other than this, marriage can also be affected by conflicting beliefs and expectations, as well as, parenting differences. Financial issues are also a common problem in relationships.
There's a lot of emotions involved when handling divorce. Sometimes, the situation will seem too complicated and confusing to the extent that you will feel inclined to seek
professional help. In most cases, couples hire a divorce attorney for guidance, especially in legal concerns. Your attorney will represent you in court. You don't have to go alone. Their experience in divorce and similar cases, allow them to keep you informed, particularly in the court process. They can give you objective advice, if you need it. They can also suggest options for settling your case, based on your situation. Of course, handling paperwork is crucial in these situations. They can also fill it out for you so you no longer have to do it yourself.
divorce attorney bakersfield
will give you your much-needed support and assistance when handling your divorce. It is an important decision and, as much as possible, you should find someone whom you can trust and be comfortable with. You can find a divorce lawyer as recommended by friends or acquaintances. You can also search for a potential candidate by yourself. Among the factors you should be looking for, includes experience, reference, communication skills, as well as, fees and charges. It would help if your attorney has handled a similar case as yours previously. Look into testimonials from previous clients so that you will have an idea how he or she works and/or performs, on and off the court. Consultation fees, rates and contracts, must also be discussed, without leaving important details.
There are tons of reasons for divorce to happen. But when it happens, it can be very difficult to settle things. The separation alone, requires a lot of time and adjustment. If the parents are having a hard time, so will their children. For this reason, a lot of couples may still decide to get along. Your divorce attorney may handle everything else for you legally but when it comes to working it out with the family, you will have to spend time and effort. So, be fair and figure it out. Accept other's support. Divorce may be difficult but you don't have to face it and go through it on your own.

Paper Trails Protect the Honest
July 26, 2005
I always like to have things in writing. I hate making deals on the phone or in person, and prefer having all discussions over e-mail. Why? Because I'm honest: having things on paper has never hurt me. Luckily, with the advent of e-mail, people are more willing to put things in writing - even though they do so subconsciously. Which is what allegedly happened at Orrick.
Patrick J. Hoeffner, a senior associate at Orrick, had a lucrative - and portable - client: indeed, he had two outstanding offers from firms willing to take him and his client. Instead of accepting those offers, he continued working at Orrick after three partners allegedly offered to put him up for partner.
But partners, being partners, allegedly worried about their wallets - not their promises. And they ultimately, according to the lawsuit, broke their promise:
[The] agreement was allegedly memorialized in a March 26, 2002, e-mail Hoeffner sent to Isackson, MacKerron and Anthony. The e-mail allegedly stated that Hoeffner's understanding was that he could elect to be put up for partner in September 2003, with the pledged support of "at least" Anthony, Isackson and Cote. According to a copy of the alleged e-mail provided to the Law Journal, Anthony replied: "Your understanding is correct. Thank you for making the right decision!"
Of course, Orrick's partner's are denying that anyone made an agreement. Maybe they're right, though it's hard to understand why the associate wouldn't have accepted the other offers. Plus, the associate is now working at Fulbright & Jaworski, which is no place for underachievers. Orrick is going to have a hard time proving that someone with a portable book of business, other job opportunities, and high employability imagined the agreement.
Anyhow, the full article is worth reading. Obviously, anyone considering working for, or currently working at, Orrick should watch her back. And everyone should remember this maxim: An oral promise is worth the paper it's written on.
