President Barack Obama smiles as he prepares to answer a question during an end-of-the year news conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House
I thought he was smiling at me. I guess he's smiling at both of us. Congrats on #1
hf, he is smiling at the American people he loves so! PS I just stumbled into first lol
GDP +4.2% each year since 1949 when Dems run the WH, versus 2.6% for GOP. S&P 500: Dems: 12.1%, GOP: 5.1% http://t.co/D5cwuGDJWR—

I hope that Chips or UT will be able to post it on a thread. PBO's presser went a bit over the time, so I haven't started watching the Harvey yet.
Phew! Okay, thanks. I have to go examine the offspring's grad pics – told him to wait until after PBO's speech. BRB
Congrats on his accomplishing this milestone. HS or college? Either way it's an important step in the right direction! Congrats to proud mom as well.
TY, HF, I think I have a perpetual student. He's finishing his BA Hons while muttering about doing a Masters degree.
For those who missed it.

The hyenas didn't want to hear about that stuff. There's no gotcha in those.
Thanks, UT, for the tweets for those who missed it – and the lovely image of the President you chose for this post. Loved that big smile on his face, while he was standing before the Barnum and Bailey crowd at the presser. Freakers thought they were in the Coliseum, but he put them in their place. They were in HIS White House and HE is President of the United States. He's used to speaking with world leaders, who call HIM, so I don't think a bunch of college dropouts in the WHPC scare him one little bit. I'm still madddd about it, but I'm trying to calm myself as the President would advise!
So, Merry Christmas, WHPC – that blast of cool was yer little gift from the President.
Jacquelineoboomer, I had to go and pour a little wine in a glass just to look at it to calm myself down in a lighter space. Those clowns worked my nerves. One thing that kept me from screaming was the calmness of our President. Lord, have mercy on me.
I love your description of these jerks in grown men suits empty of common sense, let alone grown up and mature men. Jacquelineoboomer, I pray that I can get through another 3 years with this bunch of clowns. President Obama was so Zen. Lord, I thank you for this beautiful soul.
I hope you are okay now as well, jacquelineoboomer. ((((((( Chilling Out)))))))HZ
Hi, HZ – I am fine, now! The President and his family are winging their way to Hawaii, and all's right with the world. Enjoy your evening, dear one!
Okay, the hot buttered rum has made my tree look surprisingly better than it did before the hot buttered rum. Onward to hanging more ornaments!

Glenn Thrush, non-partisan Politco—hahahaha—–was just "flabbergasted" about how boring the press conf. was and how "disengaged" Obama was. Come on! You can do better than that, Glenn! Surely there's some despicable names you could call him. Thankfully, Capehart said that Thrush must have been watching something different than he watched—-thought the president's energy was high and not "just anxious to get out of town" like Thrush said. Toure thought the same as I did—–all those questions about Obama's bad, very bad, horrible, very horrible year were about trying to get him to break down in tears. Didn't work—–in fact the opposite. Questions gave PBO an opportunity to display his depth, thoughtfulness and wealth of knowledge—once again——–in great contrast to those asking the questions.

Nearly 700 Native American children in South Dakota are being removed from their homes every year, sometimes under questionable circumstances. An NPR News investigation has found that the state is largely failing to place them according to the law. The vast majority of native kids in foster care in South Dakota are in nonnative homes or group homes, according to an NPR analysis of state records.

Newt is predicting a landslide for Republicans in both houses next year..
Didn't Newton McPherson Gingrich predict that He, Newton, was to be the GOP presidential Nominee? Hmm?
Santorum defeated him and so did Willard. Please Calgon, take Newt away.
That's hilarious. I can't stop laughing. He also predicted this in 2011 ………..
Gingrich Tells ABC News: 'I'm Going to Be The Nominee'
WEST DES MOINES, IOWA — A very confident New Gingrich asserted to ABC News Thursday afternoon that he will be the Republican presidential nominee.
"I'm going to be the nominee," the former Speaker told ABC News. "It's very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I'm going to be the nominee."
The bold assertion came after Gingrich refused to criticize the Republican challengers who have begun attacking him and his record.
If I were a Republican in congress, that "prediction" from Mankini would make me afraid…VERY afraid…
Indeed! Poor "Newt the Grinch"; I guess he thinks because he memorized the dictionary his words are cogent.
I dragged this over from the last thread for cookemon
Thanks cookemon;
It's been a rough journey. At least I was able to clear up the lies being told. My family members, their friends, and neighbors during that time were amazed at how deep I was into the computer every time I got a chance and how happy I was daddy saw President Obama before he left this earth. I was relentless . I am/was so HAPPY my father got a chance to see President Obama after living through Jim Crow, WWII, and appreciate President Obama in the 9 decades of his life. No doubt daddy is laughing at how stupid the fools in this press conference are.
Oh Pluzzzee Chuck E. Toad needs to stop his lies. I had to roll the dvr back to make sure Chuck E. Toad said that PBO's demeanor wasn't happy. President Obama was not dreading the press conference as Chuck E. Toad thinks. If anything, it was Chuck E. Toad who dreaded not having the chance to push his BS. No, the President is not going to delay the mandate. Why would our President do that when a couple million people have signed up or take the benefits away from people who are enjoying the ACA?
Oh and I want to add…"Mele Kalikimaka" to Chips and all of TODville
Come on now. If we paid these people any attention, Barack and Michelle and the girls would be in Chicago staying. Instead they are in the White House for 3 more years.
In other word he won re-election when all these know it all said he wouldn't.

CHART: Giving new meaning to 'Do-Nothing' Congress
By Steve Benen
The historic metrics are rather striking: 2013 was the least productive for any Congress since clerks on the Hill started keeping track, and this Congress is on track to pass fewer laws than any modern Congress.
Indeed, it's really not a close contest. The above chart is admittedly misleading since the 113th Congress is only half complete and I'm comparing it against two-year totals, but note that if lawmakers are as productive in 2014 as they've been in 2013, they'll demolish the record for inaction. If lawmakers suddenly turn things around and double their efficacy – if, in other words, they show a 200% year-to-year increase in the number of bills passed into law – this will still be the last productive on record by a considerable margin.
It'll be interesting to see how incumbents defend this record during the 2014 midterms.

President Obama's press conference ran over long and because all stations (rightfully) covered it, it cut into 20 minutes of the 30 minutes+ of Steve Harvey's interview.
It'd be cool if Harvey's website or someone posted it. The little I caught when the press conference ended and NBC went back to programming, was so much fun.
It doesn't play here for another 1/2 hour. I've set my alarm to watch it. Maybe they'll post the video after that?

She's been reading too much right-wing crap on the Internet and was trying to be funny/outrageous/cute at people's expense. Certain GOPers in the US may be able to get away in the short-term with making unfunny racist jokes. But doing the same on the international stage about a country of people is an entirely different matter.

Justine Sacco Twitter Revolt: Fierce Blowback After AIDS-Africa Tweet Sent From IAC Exec's Account
Sacco did not immediately respond to a request for comment, so at this point it's unclear if she herself sent the tweet or someone else did.
Recent posts from her Twitter account suggest she has been traveling. On Thursday, she apparently castigated a "weird German dude" in first class who had body odor. Earlier on Friday, she tweeted that she was back in London among the "cucumber sandwiches" and "bad teeth." The offensive AIDS was sent from London, according to the location icon. Depending on where in Africa Sacco is heading, she could be in the air for a while.

Most of the WHPC front row has effectively thrown in the towel on being nothing but GOP propagandists.
AP should be ashamed of itself by the opening question from Julie Pace.
Here's a little history of bad 5th years of recent Presidents, starting back in the ancient time known as 2008:
Aug 29 – Hurricane Katrina
Oct 26 – Harriet Miers' SCOTUS nomination withdrawn
Oct 27 – Scooter Libby indicted
Oct 10 – VP Spiro Agnew resigns (indicted on tax evasion)
Oct 20 – Sat Night massacre
Nov 17 – "I am not a crook" RMN speech
Mar 31 – LBJ announces he will not seek re-election after Eugene McCarthy's strong performance
Yeah, the year in which President Obama implements one of the landmark (if not THE landmark) programs in American history is MUCH WORSE than 1968, 1973 and 2005. (major snark)
Please MSM, STFU.
This is a long 21-minute video, and I know Hopefruit and others consider Kornacki as much to blame as the rest of the beltway media, but check out the photo in the pic. The "worst year ever" is part of the lazy DC echo-chamber media who can't rouse themselves to remember 8 years ago. (A separate graphic showed Politico's take.)
POTUS Yr 5
2005/Katrina, Libby, Miers

World Council of Nuclear Workers |
André Maïsseu |
The World Council of Nuclear Workers (WONUC) is the brainchild of a 1993 meeting of English and French trade unionists who were growing increasingly aware that the battle for their jobs required the defence of their industry. The employees of the nuclear industry joined the battle alongside the employers. Some called this "treason", seeing in it the denial of the fundamental values of trade unionism. The battle for jobs in the nuclear industry did not match the traditional trade union logic, under which the defence of capital is seen not as the concern of the workers, but rather the responsibility of the employer, on whom alone should fall the duty of defending the nuclear industry. This approach, whose foundations are found in the economic and social theories of the 19th century, no longer corresponds to the reality of the 21st century. Our social system has nothing in common with that of the 19th century. The forms of work, the chains of responsibility, the forms of capitalism, the behaviour of the different groups involved in production and the balances of power are now profoundly different. A glance at the global scale of the attacks sustained by the nuclear industry demonstrates how this debate is now obsolete, and how it has become urgent to progress from rhetoric to action. The nuclear industry has become - in spite of itself - a political football. Just about everywhere, but especially in Western Europe, "pink-green" political coalitions, seeking the support of a self-proclaimed "ecological" minority, are eager to sacrifice the nuclear industry to remain in power. These political circles have turned nuclear energy into an electoral argument. It is useless to denounce the amalgam made between nuclear energy and politics. This is simply an undeniable fact that can be regretted, but which must be taken into account. In this new social context, the importance of public opinion, strongly influenced by the media, is growing steadily. It is abundantly clear that by ignoring the early signs of this profound modification in voters power, the nuclear industry abandoned the field to its detractors for too long. When it finally reacted, its response was clumsy and inappropriate. It is abundantly clear that in this media war, the nuclear industry has mistaken the issue. Against passion it applied reason. Against subjectivity it applied objectivity, without realizing that its credibility had been undermined by cunning and by particularly effective media campaigns. The opprobrium that has fallen on nuclear energy is such that the managers of the nuclear industry are now reduced to attempts to seek justification with a public opinion that no longer believes in them. WONUC, the trump card of the worldwide nuclear community Conversely, the credibility of the employees of the nuclear industry is intact. Who dares accuse them of complacency, since they would be the first to suffer the consequences? Working as we do at the "fuel face", we can claim that we have plenty of first-hand experience and a certain expertise, especially in understanding the effectiveness of health and safety measures. We believe that the people best equipped to make the case for the future of the nuclear industry are those who earn their living from it and live with it, i.e. nuclear workers and their communities. In this battle for the defence of nuclear energy, WONUC does not want to substitute for the other players of the nuclear industry, but to stand alongside them. It still needs to be accepted as an equal partner, but this is not always easy. Some parties shun such promiscuity, while others ascribe no benefit to WONUC. Yet others, swayed at the attractions of illusory compromises, do not want this support, for fear of the collapse of the scaffolding they have erected with our opponents, on which they believe they can find a table to sign a peace treaty, but on which our opponents have already placed the block on which we will lose our heads. We are workers, and we have a right to a voice in the decision making which affects our industry and which concerns our communities. We also have a duty to our fellow workers and to the wider community, who are entitled to work for a World with safe sources of energy, in a safe environment, and with a sound social and economic future. We intend to exercise our rights and do our duty. WONUC is ready to cooperate with organizations pursuing the same objectives: the defence and promotion of nuclear energy for peaceful uses. WONUCs strategy and actions WONUC will not participate in violent action. We respect the law. Our approach is peaceful. We disdain spectacular media operations, in which we would play the clown in order to occupy television screens the world over. The employees of the nuclear industry are serious people: they are not circus performers. Our actions meet the following guidelines:
1. Answer questions from the public Ionizing radiation hazards Two international conferences on "The effects of low and very low doses of ionizing radiation on human health" have already taken place (Versailles - 1999 ; Dublin - 2001). The third is scheduled in Teheran in 2003, (where the highest levels of natural radiation can be measured : 132 mSv in Ramsar). We plan to launch a study on the effects of low doses of ionizing radiation on uranium miners by December 2001, with the support of Battelle Institute. This study is aimed to at forestalling the ant-inuclear circles who want to exploit the results of the Rossing Mine (Namibia) study. A database will be created from these results. A similar initiative was initiated by the organisations that manage the information relating to the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These databases must be separated so that the connections made between civilian nuclear energy and the atomic bomb can be discredited. This database will be run by the International Centre on Ionizing Radiation, now being established. WONUC is looking for the financial support of this long term action. Waste management "Oklo" is the perfect media (and scientific) tool for managing the question of the public acceptance of the management of nuclear waste. A conference taking "Oklo" as a model was scheduled in September 2001, at the University of Versailles. The lack of support, and the many obstacles posed by the some agencies responsible for nuclear waste management, forced the postponement of this conference. Considering the importance of this question for the nuclear industry, this lack of support is shocking and cannot be understood unless certain managers, executing the secret instructions of their "pink-green" governments, have the undeclared aim of torpedoing the European nuclear industry!. However, WONUC will be not daunted by such attitudes and will restart the process, with the aim of launching this cycle of conferences in Spring 2003. Nuclear safety The first international conference on « Human Factors and Nuclear Safety » was held in Moscow in October 2000. It concluded by adopting the draft « Nuclear Code of Ethics ». The final draft of this Nuclear Code of Ethics is available at this Symposium, for your comments. It is already under informal discussions with the International Labour Organization ILO, the United Nations agency is charge of the world of work. Social spin-off A first study on the impact of the nuclear industry on jobs was completed in 1999. Despite its obvious importance, it has lacked support, and there is no plan to update it for the time being. Internet Thanks to the goodwill and competence of our computer specialists, our Internet site has become one of the star sites with 1500 connections daily, even if it looks too "French". 2. Confer a positive image on nuclear energy MaxiMarathons The Nuclear MaxiMarathon is the only international entertainment event within the nuclear community capable of attracting the attention of the media. Six MaxiMarathons which have already been organized: 1996 & 1997 (France and Belgium), 1998 (Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria), 1999 (Romania), 2000 (Germany), 2001 (Russia). In 2002, the MaxiMarathon will be run in Sweden. The Nuclear MaxiMarathon offers a formidable media opportunity to promote nuclear energy. You yourselves alone can reap the benefits of this media operation. 3. Promote Nuclear Energy Nuclear desalination and recycling of waste water A first international conference on Nuclear Desalination will be held in Morocco in October 2002 in collaboration with the IAEA and the World Water Forum. It is planned to extend the topic of this conference series in a second phase to the cleanup, retreatment and recycling of waste water. Representatives of American pension funds who, as you know, manage a lions share of the wealth of the planet, will be present in order to analyse the problems of funding. I invite you to be a partner in this conference by displaying your know-how, your products and your services at the technical exhibiiont which will be organized within the framework of the conference. 4. Participate in the major debates affecting the future of nuclear energy UNFCC-COP Conferences WONUC was and is still very concerned and worried about the possibility of extending the so-called "flexible mechanisms" applied to the emission of green house gas to the "radioactive emissions" (liquid, solid and gaseous effluents). This is why WONUC was so against the so-called "flexible mechanisms". The obvious hostility of some parties, who did not share our reservations, to the presence of WONUC at the United Nations Conferences on Climate Change, led us to abandon our participation there, despite our success in 1998 in Buenos Aires, and despite the interest aroused by our initiative to go to Bonn in 1999 to seek the support of the representatives of the three great monotheistic religions: Judaism, Islam and Christianity. Faced with the absence of cogent results obtained by the official representatives of the nuclear community, the Brazilian chapter of WONUC has decided to revive the process by organizing, ten years later, at Rio de Janeiro, a second earth summit, which should host nearly three thousand participants. Its success will ensure the reintegration of the nuclear option in the debate on sustainable development. 5. Act on political circles In every country where WONUC is present, this action is the least known, because the most discreet, while being quite very effective. 6. Bypassing the blackmail of democracy by anti-nuclear bodies Legal actions The way in which the anti-nuclear organizations have introduced their views into political circles has led them increasingly to take "liberties" with the democratic principles that govern us, thereby weakening them. We should exploit these shortcomings. It is accordingly possible to find specific cases today in which action would be feasible before the European Court of Justice. These actions, in addition to the possibility of winning, would also have the merit of making us a body to be reckoned with, and hence listened to by political circles, and consequently to resume the dialogue with the political decision makers on bases which are not systematically unfavourable to us. The nuclear battle field is very large, and there is a lot of fights to conduct. But the final battle will be on court. WONUC does not have the resources for this type of action. For Europe, we feel that this should be the regular domain of Foratom. |

Stat of the Day, Insane Wyoming Legislative Survivalists Edition
Population of Wyoming: 568,158.
Crew of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier:
Ship's company: 3,200
Air wing: 2,480
568,158 / 5,680 = one out of every 100 Wyoming citizens will serve aboard its aircraft carrier.
'Jericho' Was Right!
State representatives on Friday advanced legislation to launch a study into what Wyoming should do in the event of a complete economic or political collapse in the United States. Via @mikemccaffrey.
The task force would look at the feasibility of Wyoming issuing its own alternative currency, if needed. And House members approved an amendment Friday by state Rep. Kermit Brown, R-Laramie, to have the task force also examine conditions under which Wyoming would need to implement its own military draft, raise a standing army, and acquire strike aircraft and an aircraft carrier.
Wednesday Night Whoa!
* We finally saw Up! tonight. All I can say is if the first ten minutes don't break your heart you have no soul.
* Blackwater founder Erik Prince has apparently been implicated in a huge swath of crimes by a former employee and a Marine working with the company, ranging from tax evasion and money laundering to weapons smuggling to obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence to crimes of war and even to the murder of federal informants. (See MetaFilter for more.) My now-incredibly-timely review of Master of War is getting bumped up accordingly and will probably be online (updated) at Independent Weekly in a day or so. This is all pretty shocking, even by Blackwater standards.
* In not-completely-frakked-up news, Bill Clinton did a good thing today, a win for just about everybody but infamous douchebag of liberty John Bolton.
* More on the Olbermann/O'Reilly saga from Glenn Greenwald, Jane Hamsher, and David Sirota. While I appreciate that he finds himself in a tough spot here, Olbermann is not doing himself any favors with his behavior; making one type of statement on-the-air and another off makes it very clear what is going on, and makes him look like a fool.
* The 100 Greatest Sci-Fi Movies. Outraged to see Galaxy Quest only squeaking by at #95. And 12 Monkeys quietly buried in the 80s? Nonsense.
Now That the Strike Is Over
Now that the strike is over, we will be spared the agonizing struggle of having to think for ourselves. TV Guide has the skinny on when your favorite TV shows will return, via MeFi.
I did see with some excitement at io9 that Jericho comes back this week, so my own hypocrisy on this point should not go unnoted. And I did skip down to "O" on that long TV Guide list to see when The Office will be back, too. I'm not made of stone.
For what it's worth, Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Diary notes that the Writers Guild has declared a "huge victory," but others are less sanguine.
For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: "It might have been!"
The last few weeks we've been Netflixing Jericho, the canceled / saved / soon-to-be-canceled-again post-apocalyptic drama from CBS. Like Lost and Heroes before it, the show functions in many ways as a testament to the greatness of HBO—what would have been a fantastic twelve-episode cable series is merely pleasantly diverting on a network. After a few episodes, the diminished production values, a lot of filler, and the necessity to always hew as close as possible to dramatic convention really began to weigh on me. (Things do pick up again a bit by the final third of the season, and by the end I was actually rather fond of the show—but it's definitely a guilty pleasure.)
I mean, it's pretty good for the networks—about as good/bad as a typical season of 24—and I'll definitely check out the second season, but despite all this Jericho just doesn't do what it set out to do. Which is really too bad, because by the end of the fourth episode I was pretty sure I was watching the best network TV show ever.

18 Companies Providing Shareholders More Cash Through Increased Dividends 0 comments
In the U.S. and Canada, most companies pay dividends quarterly. In other parts of the world, it is not uncommon for companies to pay an annual or a semi-annual dividend. That is not to say that North American companies sometimes choose not to pay quarterly dividends. For many years McDonald's (MCD) paid an annual dividend. Since 2000, Walt Disney Co. (DIS) has paid an annual dividend and Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (RT) has paid a semi-annual dividend. Going in the other direction, Realty Income Corp. (O) and Gas Natural Inc. (EGAS) pay monthly dividends.

Upping Pressures Signifies Failure of Sanctions
Political Desk Leader of the Islamic revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that pressures and sanctions could not undermine the resolve of the Iranian nation. Ayatollah Khamenei made the remark during meeting with seminary scholars and students as well as people from Qom province in Tehran, IRNA reported. Stressing that sanctions will have no impact on the Iranian nation, the Leader said that the hegemonic powers seek to discourage people from being present on the scene through imposing sanctions and putting pressure on Iran, but "they are mistaken and will never achieve their goal." Ayatollah Khamenei added that Iranian nation has chosen their path with insight and will not yield to pressures to change the path. Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated that while the supposed power of the world hegemony has been waning, the clout and capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran have grown increasingly in the past three decades. Parliamentary Elections The Leader also pointed to the upcoming March parliamentary elections, stressing that people's huge turnout in the polls will strike another blow to the enemy.
Political Desk President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrived in Venezuela to begin a four-nation Latin American tour aimed at boosting relationships with Tehran's close allies. It is the Iranian leader's fifth visit to Venezuela, AP reported. Ahmadinejad smiled and waved as he stepped off a plane at Simon Bolivar International Airport near Caracas to greet Venezuelan officials including Vice President Elias Jaua on Sunday evening. Ahmadinejad was to meet with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez on Monday, and the two both plan to travel to Nicaragua for Tuesday's inauguration of newly re-elected President Daniel Ortega. He will also travel to Cuba and Ecuador. US Warning Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dismissed a US warning to avoid close ties with Iran, denouncing Washington's attempt to dominate the world as he welcomed the Iranian president to the Latin American nation. "A spokesman or spokeswoman in Washington from the State Department or the White House said it was not convenient for any country to get close to Iran. Well, the truth is, it made you laugh," Chavez said in a televised speech. "They're not going to be able to dominate this world. Forget about it (President Barack) Obama, forget about it. It would be better to think about the problems in your country, which are many," he said "We are free. The people of Latin America will never again kneel, dominated by the imperial Yankee. Never again," he said, to applause from his audience at an oil processing facility.

Political Desk India has expressed concerns over the new US sanctions on the Iranian oil sector, saying it will seek waivers on the embargo to deal with the potential impacts of the measures on its crude supply. Senior Indian officials are set to begin negotiations with the US to win waivers to minimize the possible repercussions of the US-led sanctions on India which imports more than ten percent of its oil from Iran. India's Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai is expected to discuss the matter further during his upcoming visit to Washington. India's National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon also met with US Ambassador to India Peter Burleigh on Friday to discuss the issue. India meets about three-quarters of its crude demands through imports and Iran is its second-largest supplier after Saudi Arabia. On December 31, US President Barack Obama signed into law fresh economic sanctions against Iran's Central Bank in an apparent bid to punish foreign companies and banks that do business with the Iranian financial institution. The bill requires foreign financial firms to make a choice between doing business with Iran's Central Bank and oil sector or with the US financial sector.
International Desk Syria's permanent representative at the Arab League criticized the Qatari prime minister on Monday for his "biased stance" regarding the ten-month crisis in Syria, Syrian state-media reported on Monday. Qatari Prime Minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim, chairs the Arab League's committee on Syria, which on Sunday decided to increase the number of observers sent to Syria. Bin Jassim "placed himself and his country in an awkward position when he tried to speak on behalf of the Syrian people despite him knowing that the greater majority of the Syrian people reject external interference," Ahmad, who is also Syria's ambassador in Cairo, said. The Syrian envoy called on the Qatari official to state "who among the Syrian people gave him authorization to speak on their behalf or defend them." The Arab League demanded Sunday that the Syrian government immediately stop all violence and allow more monitors in. Fierce clashes in the south between government troops and military defectors left 11 soldiers dead, activists said. The Arab League also called on other armed parties to halt all bloodshed, an apparent reference to the defectors. Qatari premier said the ministers did not agree to call for UN experts to join the observers' mission in Syria, but said UN experts will train the monitors in Cairo before they leave.
A top Chinese diplomat on Monday rejected linking Iran's nuclear program to trade, adding to tensions with Washington on the eve of a visit by US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to seek support for sanctions on Tehran's oil industry. A deputy foreign minister, Cui Tiankai, said China's trade with Iran, an important oil supplier, has nothing to do with the Iranian nuclear program, AP reported. Washington is pressuring Tehran to abandon what Western governments claim is an effort to develop nuclear weapons, a claim Iran rejects. Sanctions approved by the US President Barack Obama on New Year's Eve would bar financial institutions that deal with Iran's central bank from the US market. "The normal trade relations and energy cooperation between China and Iran have nothing to do with the nuclear issue,'' Cui told reporters. "We should not mix issues with different natures, and China's legitimate concerns and demands should be respected.'' China's fast-growing economy is the world's biggest energy consumer and obtained about 11 percent of its oil imports from Iran last year. Industry analysts say Beijing is unlikely to support an oil embargo against Iran because such huge imports would be next to impossible to obtain from other sources. The sanctions have led to a clash of interests between Washington and key commercial and strategic partners in Asia. South Korea and Japan also depend on Iranian oil and are negotiating with Washington in an effort to keep supplies flowing. South Korea obtains up to 10 percent of its oil from Iran, while Japan gets nearly 9 percent.
Palestinian elected Prime Minister Ismail Haniya on Sunday promised "difficult days" for Israel, and at a rally in Tunis urged Arab Spring revolutionaries to fight for an independent Palestine. Ismail Haniya received an ovation from the crowd of some 5,000 men, women and children gathered in a stadium waving Palestinian, Tunisian and Hamas flags, AFP reported. "Israel no longer has allies in Egypt and in Tunisia, we are saying to the Zionist enemies that times have changed and that the time of the Arab Spring, the time of the revolution, of dignity and of pride has arrived," he said to loud cheers. "We promise you that we will not cede a single part of Palestine, we will not cede Jerusalem, we will continue to fight and we will not lay down our arms," he said. He urged "the people of the revolution to fight the army of Al-Quds" as Jerusalem is known in Arabic.
In the 19th round of Iran's Premier League (IPL), Esteqlal will meet Damash in Rasht. According to ISNA, the league pace setter was failed to beat title holder Sepahan in Tehran to extend its lead on top of the table. The capital-based club has collected 37 points. In this match Esteqlal is without Andranik Teymourain, who is facing an injury. On the other side, Damash with its new coach want to jump in the IPL rankings. The team with 23 points is 9th in the 18-team league table. Speaking to ISNA, Esteqlal's top trainer Parviz Mazloumi said, "Damash is a good team. I hope we can beat them in this away game and stretch our lead in the table. Arash Borhani will miss the game due to suspension." Recently the managing director of the club Ali Fatollahzadeh said that if Mazloumi will be able to win IPL or Hazfi Cup title his contract will be extended. Referring to this he added, "Right now I want to focus on my team's games. We are in two fronts and I want to be victor in both of them."
The United States has declared Venezuela's consul general in Miami persona non grata and given her until Tuesday to leave the country. The diplomat, Livia Acosta Noguera, is alleged to have discussed possible cyber attacks against the United States while stationed at the Venezuelan embassy in Mexico in 2008, RIA Novosti reported. The FBI had been investigating the allegations after four members of Congress wrote to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in December raising "grave concerns" about Acosta. The US authorities would not comment on the reason for the expulsion. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said the decision was taken in accordance with Article 23 of the Vienna Convention on consular relations. Last month, a documentary aired on the Spanish-language network Univision alleged that Acosta had discussed a possible cyber attack against the US government with diplomats from the Iranian and Cuban missions, the New York Times said. In Caracas, President Hugo Chavez made no mention of the consul's expulsion in his Sunday radio and TV program but accused Washington of "inventing" Iranian plots to attack the United States from Latin American countries like Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba. For the United States to say "no country should get close to Iran really is a laugh," Chavez said. Chavez has long been a vociferous opponent of Washington.

text: U.S. Cattlemen's Association files comments on COOL ruleThe United States Cattlemen's Association filed comments on April 11 with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the agency's proposed Country of Origin Labeling regulatory amendments to bring the U.S. into compliance with the World Trade Organization appellate body's rule on COOL. USCA's filing, funded by a COOL Defense Fund coordinated by Leo McDonnell, Columbus, Mont., was a response to USDA's request for public comments published in the March 12 Federal Register. "USCA members are pleased with the Department of Agriculture's proposed COOL rule and we urge the Department of Agriculture to adopt the proposed amendments as published," said Jon Wooster, association president. "We extend our gratitude to the individuals who supported the COOL Defense Fund, which permitted USCA to vigorously defend our right to label products with country of origin." Canada and Mexico challenged the U.S. COOL law and regulations implementing the law in December 2008, arguing they violated U.S. obligations under the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade. Subsequently, a WTO appellate body found certain deficiencies in the U.S. law. The appellate body concluded that, while the U.S. has the right to label products, certain aspects of how the law is implemented violate the TBT agreement. USCA believes the proposed rule will bring the U.S. into compliance with the WTO decision by correcting the deficiencies in the regulatory program identified by the appellate body. In particular, the proposed rule requires that production steps now be identified on meat labels, thus providing the product information that the sppellate body said is tracked but not communicated to consumers. In addition, the proposed rule eliminates the commingling flexibilities that the Appellate Body found undermined the integrity of the labeling program. "The appellate body was concerned with a lack of proportionality between the information tracked due to producers' record-keeping requirements on one hand, and the information conveyed to consumers through labeling, on the other hand," said Jon Wooster, USCA president. "USDA's proposed rule changes ensure that the record-keeping requirements will be proportional to the consumer information provided, and thus, these requirements are justified by legitimate regulatory functions. This is sufficient to bring the U.S. into compliance." "Numerous polls and surveys demonstrate that consumers want and value country of origin information," continued Wooster. "A 2002 survey of consumers in Chicago and Denver found that 75 percent of participants preferred to buy meat products labeled with country of origin as opposed to unlabeled product, with the preferences being strongest for beef products. A national poll in 2007 found that 94 percent of those surveyed believe consumers have a right to know the country of origin of the foods they purchase, and 85 percent of consumers say knowing where their food comes from is important. A 2012 survey found that consumers were willing to pay $1.77 more per 12-ounce portion for a meat product labeled 'Product of the U.S.' compared to an unlabeled product. It was the fact that the commingling flexibility deprives consumers of origin information that processors are already tracking that caused the appellate body to identify the flexibility as one of the deficiencies in the COOL program. Eliminating the commingling flexibility and ensuring that single-origin product is accurately labeled will benefit the consumers who value being able to purchase products with more precise labeling information and brings the U.S. into compliance." USCA's filed comments note that no additional record-keeping will be required under the proposed rule because, under the 2009 COOL Final Rule, producers, packers and processors are already tracking origin. "USCA is very pleased that the proposed amendments to COOL regulations will not result in increased costs for producers or the production sector, nor will the proposed rule result in any increase in retail prices for consumers," Wooster said. The U.S. has until May 23 to notify the WTO that it has adopted regulatory changes and has come into compliance with the appellate body ruling. At that time, Canada and/or Mexico can request consultations with the U.S. if they disagree. If those consultations are not successful, Canada and/or Mexico can request that the matter be referred to a compliance panel. If any party to the process is unsatisfied with the compliance panel report, it can appeal the decision to the Appellate Body. If Canada and/or Mexico wants to impose retaliatory sanctions, the countries must request authorization from the WTO dispute settlement body and identify a specific amount of financial harm. This process can also be arbitrated at the request of any of the parties involved. "This information should help dispel some of the rumors and distortion of the facts being circulated by COOL opponents," Wooster said. "We are optimistic that USDA will adopt its proposed rule without changes and we stand ready to shepherd COOL through any further appeals should Canada or Mexico choose to do so." Date: 5/20/2013
