Nuclear test sanction threat
The United Nations says it "strongly condemns" North Korea's nuclear test. The United States is calling for an increase in sanctions against the communist state.
Foreign Office summons North Korea Ambassador over nuclear test
Following yesterday's nuclear test by North Korea, Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire summoned the country's Ambassador.
In a statement he said:
I summoned North Korea's Ambassador today to stress in the strongest terms the UK's condemnation of yesterday's nuclear test.
This is a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolutions, and the UK supports the resolve of the UN to implement more stringent measures against the regime. Yesterday all fifteen members of the UN Security Council signed up to a statement condemning the latest act of hostility and its grave implications for international security. It is essential, as ever, that the international community is united in its approach to this situation and that we speak with one voice.
I call on the North Korean regime to act in the best interests of its people and to choose the path they really want. Amid reports of widespread hardship and human rights abuses, the priority must be the health and welfare of North Korean people.
North Korean underground nuclear test condemned
A third nuclear test by the North Koreans has brought predictable condemnation from the United Nations and the Americans - but now even their traditional allies, the Chinese, are angry.
Tougher sanctions against the secretive state are now on the table after it defied existing UN resolutions.
China Correspondent Angus Walker reports:
US President vows defence of South Korea
US President Barack Obama has spoken to South Korean President Lee Myung-bak about North Korea's nuclear test and agreed to work with the UN Security Council to address it.
– White House statement
They agreed to work closely together, including at the United Nations Security Council, to seek a range of measures aimed at impeding North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs and reducing the risk of proliferation.
President Obama unequivocally reaffirmed that the United States remains steadfast in its defense commitments to the Republic of Korea, including the extended deterrence offered by the US nuclear umbrella.
Ban Ki-Moon: North Korea nuclear test is a 'reckless act'
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has "strongly condemned" North Korea's nuclear test, branding it a "reckless act, which shows out right disregard for the repeated calls of the international community to refrain from further provocative measures."
He added: "The test is a clear and grave violation of the relevant resolutions of the security council."
US call for North Korea sanctions after weapons test
Susan Rice - the US representative at the UN - has said North Korea "does not and will not benefit from violating international law," following the country's nuclear weapons test.
She said North Korea had "increasingly isolated and impoverished its people through its ill-advised pursuit of weapons of mass destruction."
She added that Washington and its allies intended to "augment the sanctions regime" already in place due to Pyongyang's 2006 and 2009 atomic tests.
UN Security Council 'condemns' N Korea weapons test
Following a meeting of the UN Security Council, Kim Sung-Hwan - Minister of Foreign Affairs for South Korea - said council members "strongly condemned" North Korea and its nuclear weapons test, adding the country was a "clear threat to international peace and security".
North Korea is a 'serious threat' to the USAby Angus Walker - China Correspondent
US Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta on North Korea: "They represent a serious threat to the USA and we have to be prepared to deal with that."
In his speech later, Barack Obama will urge North Korea to stop the threats and will say their nuclear programme has done nothing to feed North Korean people.

They're not made of glass, nor are they completely transparent, but dare I say that Christian Louboutin has made an improvement in the most iconic shoe in…well, let's just say history.
I'm not really surprised. Are you?
The lace is what gives them a transparency without revealing all of the foot for a prettier, more feminine look. There are Swarovski crystals on the heel. Butterfly accents also glitter in the light, as if they're about to take off into a dream and beckon for the wearer to follow.
The delicate whimsy is offset by the classic Louboutin red sole.
So why were these shoes released anyway, and who gets to wear them? Christian Louboutin designed them to go along with the diamond release of Cinderella, which will be available in October 2012. Now, the downer: You can't waltz into a store and scoop up these shoes, even if you have the cash. They're not available for mass purchase. They were shown off in Paris during Couture Fashion Week and only 20 pairs will make it into the hands of women clamoring for their own fairy tale ending. Details on how to win a pair haven't been released yet, but I'm feeling like this is a mix between Cinderella and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory–glass slipper, golden ticket…very few to go around…

-- Hang Seng Index starts year of the snake positively.
-- Cnooc up after U.S. approval for Nexen acquisition.
-- Central banks in Korea and Japan keep rates steady.
(Adds information, quotes, updates/adds market levels)
By Daniel Inman
Asian markets ended higher Thursday, with Hong Kong stocks gaining on the first trading day in the year of the snake, while central banks in South Korea and Japan kept their monetary policies unchanged.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was up 0.9% to 23413.25, coming back online after three days of public holidays held to celebrate the lunar New Year. Cnooc was in focus, with the offshore oil producer up by 1.9% after receiving approval in the U.S. for its $15.1 billion acquisition of Canadian oil and gas company Nexen.
Markets in Mainland China and Taiwan remained closed for Chinese New Year public holidays.
The main events during the Asian session were announcements by central banks in South Korea and Japan, which both met expectations by leaving monetary policy unchanged.
The U.S. dollar was had moved little against the yen during Asian trading, at Y93.44 late in the day. The greenback was slightly lower against South Korea's won though, at KRW1084.50, compared to KRW1,086.80 late Wednesday in Seoul.
There was no surprise in the Bank of Japan's decision, just one month after the central bank adopted a 2% inflation target. The major uncertainty regarding the central bank is who will take over after current governor Masaaki Shirakawa, who last week said he would step down in March.
In the short-term, the market was also anticipating the meeting of the Group of Twenty, to be held in Moscow over the weekend.
"It will be one of the most important (G-20 meetings) for quite some time in terms of markets," said Sean Callow, senior currency strategist at Westpac Institutional Bank in Sydney.
"The risk for currencies is whether there are strong comments from some of the many officials, with their different viewpoints, who will be surrounded by media in Moscow. So the potential for an impact to markets is not small," said Mr. Callow.
Japan's Nikkei rose 0.5% to 11307.28, partially recovering from Wednesday's 1.0% decline.
Asahi Group Holdings rose 5.8% in Tokyo after the drinks company reported a record profit late Wednesday for the fiscal year 2012 through to December, and forecasted 15% growth in net profit for the current year. In addition, the company said that it would buy back up to 4.3% of its own shares.
South Korea's Kospi was just 0.2% to 1979.61
In Australia, shares continued to push to a fresh multi-year high, with the S&P/ASX 200 up 0.7% to 5036.90, its highest level since September 2008.
Resource companies in Australia received a boost after China's Citic Resources Holdings bought a minority stake in Alumina Ltd., a large Australian alumina refiner. Alumina shot up 7.5% in Sydney. In Hong Kong, Citic Resources added 0.9%.
Other commodity companies were making gains as well: Fortescue Metals Group advanced 4.3% and Woodside Petroleum added 1.2%. Rio Tinto was also in focus, up 2.3% before the release of its full-year results, which came out after the market closed.

October 31, 2003 Albany- The pumpkin patrol was out in full force to watch over trick-or-treaters.
"Going all through the city giving out candy and making contact with the kids and neighborhood families and so forth as the night goes on," said Brian Peterson with the Albany Police Department.
As the night did go on, the streets filled with candy seekers in the form of pirates and even pint-sized incredible hulks, who didn't actually know the Hulk.
"I've seen the movie though," said 6-year-old Joshua Moore.
But costumes didn't really matter. It's the candy that counted. And for those turtles who wanted to find their Halloween thrills inside, the Albany Police made sure they had a place to go.
"We've had a little scary party as you walk in with the coffin, music and sound and allow the kids to enjoy the atmosphere where it's safe," Peterson said.

Illinois Democratic Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias made waves earlier this week when he announced his support for the Ground Zero Mosque. Giannoulias's support for the mosque isn't particularly surprising; he's far behind his Republican opponent, Mark Kirk, in the money race and can't afford to alienate the White House, or risk no more presidential fundraising trips. The people who should be surprised are Giannoulias's Greek supporters, particularly those who call New York City home. You see, as Fox News reported today, the only house of worship that was actually destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks was a Greek Orthodox church, Saint Nicholas. And while the mosque cleared city red tape earlier this month, Port Authority officials have been dragging their feet for years on rebuilding Saint Nicholas. "We have people that are saying, why isn't our church being rebuilt and why is there ... such concern for people of the mosque?" Father Alex Karloutsos, … [Read more...]
Why no support for Ground Zero church from Giannoulias?

Cloud Appliance Solutions for the Enterprises (CAFÉ) Taiwan
The Institute for Information Industry (III) Taiwan and Ulteo announces a joint agreement to develop Cloud Appliance solutions for the Enterprises (CAFÉ).
While the joint development agreement for CAFÉ was announced today by Dr. George Wang, Executive Vice President of the Institute for Information Industry (III), Taiwan, and Mr. Thierry Koehrlen, CEO, Ulteo SAS, this agreement was reached earlier this year during the Taiwanese Ministry of Economics Affairs (MOEA) delegation to Europe to seek open innovation partnerships.
According to Ulteo and III cloud computing offers strategic development direction for Taiwan and the government of Taiwan, with its goal to become a major worldwide supplier of Cloud Computing systems, solutions and services, has adopted strategic focus to integrate hardware with system software that seeks to improve the value of Taiwanese IT offerings.
Using a unified and user friendly interface CAFÉ seeks to provide technology for delivering Windows, Linux applications, and web applications to the desktop while it reduces the total cost of computing for businesses of all sizes and provides cost effective solutions to governments, schools and universities.
In this joint CAFÉ development agreement, Ulteo offers the technology through its Open Source Virtual Desktop (OVD) solution while Taiwan brings the hardware manufacturing solutions needed to develop Cloud Computing appliance products. III plans to work with Ulteo and various Taiwanese hardware manufacturers to jointly develop Cloud Computing appliances for not only the Asian markets, but for the global markets as well.

2010 Smallbiz Success Awards

Export Award:
Tanning Products Go Global for Maui Company
Maui Babe's sun- and skin-care products – using natural Hawaii ingredients like kukui and macadamia nut oils, aloe vera and Kona coffee extract – have burst into the global marketplace. In the past four years, the company says, retail sales have grown by an explosive 2,400 percent.
Maui Babe products are sold in five foreign countries – Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and Japan – and the company is negotiating to add South Korea, Greece and three Scandinavian countries.
"They've got a great niche and a cool Hawaii product," says John Holman, Pacific Islands director for the Hawaii Export Assistance Center, an office of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Holman, a judge for the SmallBiz Success Awards, says, "Hawaii has a great brand name around the world. People feel positively about the name and their product is a perfect fit."
Maui Babe considered international expansion after it landed space in some of America's largest retail chains, including Walmart and ABC Stores. Then, with expansion online, the company discovered its customer base was increasingly global.
"If you have a company that has a market here, I can guarantee there will be a market elsewhere," says Holman.
Maui Babe did some smart marketing by moving into the Australian market to boost seasonal sales, he says. "If you can get into a market in the Southern Hemisphere, you can hedge the seasonality of the domestic market," Holman says.
Joe Rossi launched Maui Babe 13 years ago with a secret family recipe. It's now an eight-person company on a meteoric rise.
Maui Babe's Amazing Browning Lotion gets raves by customers on its Web site. "This product is fantastic for tanning, and that's saying a lot coming from a black woman!" says Sydni Usher.
Omar Velez exclaims, "If you want a brown tan, please use this product … It's worth every penny."
There are no dyes; the product accelerates the natural tanning properties in the skin, according to the company.
In fact, the company says, the ingredients promote skin health and healing. A study at Rutgers University has also shown the potential of caffeine to help prevent skin cancer in laboratory mice. Maui Babe has pounced on that and the claim shows up on its Web site and in its literature.
The company touts itself as the No. 1 seller in the Islands for more than nine years. Now it's shooting to be one of the top five brand names in the worldwide sun and skin-care industry.

Many first-time homeowners and experienced real estate investors seem to focus on the functionality and style of their proposed purchases, expecting these characteristics to lead to increased property value. Many fail to remember the slogan of the real estate industry - "location, location, location" - when trying to find the property that will lead to the greatest investment performance.
The reality is that the physical structure actually depreciates over time. It is the land underneath the structure that appreciates in value. This is a significant distinction, considering that the purchase of a home is the single greatest investment that most retail investors will make in their lifetimes. Failing to look at one's home as an investment and understand the drivers of value, or concentrating on functionality and accommodation, can limit the property's overall performance and opportunities to maximize wealth. (To go beyond just buying a home and learn how real estate can make you a profit, read Investing In Real Estate.)
Land as an Appreciating Asset
Making the distinction between the improved portion of a property and the land on which it sits may seem trivial. But it is not until the real estate investor focuses on these differences that it becomes easier to find more efficient investments that provide the highest return for the amount of risk or capital invested. Because property prices are a function of local supply and demand, the appearance, functionality and maintenance of the physical structure will certainly impact value, but these factors have less impact than one may think. Understanding how location and the future prospects of land values influence property returns allows investors to make better choices between competing assets. (To learn more, read Five Things Every Real Estate Investor Should Know.)
The reason that land is an appreciating asset is a simple one. It is in limited supply, and no one is producing any more. The demand for land is constantly growing as the population increases, and since its supply is limited, its price must increase over time. Unless something happens to limit demand for a given area or make it unusable, the grounds should be expected to increase in value over time. (For related reading, see Economics Basics: Demand And Supply and Profit With Real Estate Land Speculation.)
The question is how much the land will appreciate and how much the improvements will enhance or degrade overall value. The physical structure on a property is a depreciating asset. As it ages, it requires capital infusions for maintenance, updating to stem functional obsolescence and, depending on its design, updating to prevent it from falling out of style. Even the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) acknowledges this fact by allowing depreciation of the physical structure for tax obligations. The land underneath the structure, however, is not depreciated.. (To find out which home improvements are worthwhile and which are a waste of money, read Add Value To Real Estate Investments and Do-It-Yourself Projects To Boost Home Value.)
The degree of depreciation or physical obsolescence will be specific to each property, but it is fair to say that if left alone, a property will continue to lose value until it no longer adds value to the land, or even reduces its value. Some land parcels with inferior structures, as compared to the surrounding properties, will actually be worth more unimproved. Owners will often raze the physical structure in order to maximize the value of the parcel. So why are advisors always suggesting that property owners commit capital to update their homes? The reason is to counteract some or all of the depreciation that is slowly reducing the value of the structure. Experienced real estate investors realize that this asset class is capital intensive, requiring periodic capital input to maximize value. (Learn how to calculate how much your property will need to appreciate to cover the costs of owning it in Will You Break Even On Your Home?)
Once an investor understands the impact of land value on total appreciation, the market's mantra of "location, location, location" makes more sense. The implication is that home buyers have to look past the physical attributes of the home and focus how its location in the market will affect overall return. This is extremely difficult for home buyers who expect to live in their homes for an extended period of time. However, even the most lackluster of purchases can be improved over time and create significant wealth if located in an area of high demand. The following are some considerations for new home buyers to consider:
- Smaller or less attractive homes can provide greater investment returns.
- Locations within neighborhoods will affect land values.
The appreciation of land values underscores the importance of choosing between neighborhoods. Most middle- and upper-class, single-family-home neighborhoods already limit new construction when developers purchase most of the available land to construct residential neighborhoods and subdivisions. Because of this, most neighborhoods evolve their own social, cultural and demographic characteristics that impact demand for houses there.
- The average age of neighbors can provide clues to appreciation.
- Future development can change your property's value for better or for worse.
Single-family property investors must factor into their purchase offers the potential effect of vacant or developable land on future supply and home prices. This is a continual risk borne by purchasers of condominiums. Condo prices are affected by the same demand factors as single-family homes and the appreciation of the land that their building is on.
A unique issue for condo owners is supply. Unlike most single-family homes, which are built in infill locations, a significant number of condos can be built on small parcels of land and in short periods of time, increasing supply and potentially driving down prices. It is difficult for condo owners to gauge the potential for new development and land values, since multi-unit structures and high rises can easily be built on parcels that were initially home to other types of residential or commercial real estate. (For further reading on the problems facing condo owners, read Buying A Condo.)
The successful real estate investor learns to look beyond style and the physical attributes of prospective purchases and concentrates on the potential for land appreciation. This requires overlooking the most attractive houses in a target location and concentrating on those that provide opportunities for improvement that will enhance the value of the land. Understanding land values will change the investment view of the under-maintained ranch house from "unattractive" to "money maker." Investors interested in tracking appreciation should visit the site of the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, which allows you to check the housing appreciation in your area.
Price appreciation is the biggest factor, but it's not the only thing to consider - learn more in Measuring The Benefits Of Home Ownership.

Cast: Christopher Meloni as Jack Dunlevy; Rachael Harris as Joanne Dunlevy; Connor Buckley as Frankie Dunlevy; Claudia Lee as Rachel Dunlevy; Tyler Foden as Mikey; Kevin Hernandez as George.
Guest Cast: Lili Reinhart as Heather.
Surviving Jack is a new single-camera comedy based on best-selling author Justin Halpern's autobiographical book, "I Suck at Girls." Set in the 1990s, the ensemble series is about a man becoming a dad, as his son is becoming a man, in a time before "coming of age" was something you could Google.
JACK DUNLEVY (Emmy Award nominee Christopher Meloni, "True Blood," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"), ex-military and an oncologist, is a no-bull kind of guy. He sees little, if any, need to sugar-coat the truth. Up to this point, Jack's been the parent who's left for work early, come home late, eaten the big piece of chicken, yelled at his kids and gone to bed. But after years of deftly raising and running the family, his wife, JOANNE (Rachael Harris, "Suits," NEW GIRL, "The Hangover"), is starting law school, leaving Jack as a full-time parent for the very first time.
Jack's teenage son, FRANKIE (Connor Buckley, "Deception"), is just starting his freshman year in high school. Lanky, quick-witted, self-deprecating and not entirely sure of himself, all Frankie wants to do is fly under the radar. But over the summer, he grew 10 inches, threw a no-hitter against a rival team and started to attract girls - all of which put him in some awkward situations - especially when the only base he's ever gotten to is on the field.
No matter how embarrassing the situations Frankie gets himself into are, Jack is there to pick up the pieces and lead his son to manhood...with the least gentle hand possible. Although Jack may be unorthodox and unfiltered, his intentions are always good. For better or for worse, he's Frankie's only resource now.
Even more confusing to Jack than Frankie's growing pains are those of his daughter, RACHEL (Claudia Lee, "Kick-Ass 2," "Hart of Dixie"), a gorgeous and super-smart 17-year-old high school junior. Up until now, Rachel's done everything right. But no longer under the watchful eye of her mother, she has become a handful. Jack considers the mind of the teenage girl beyond his (or anyone's) comprehension - which Rachel will take full advantage of.
In addition to disciplining his own children, Jack must look out for Frankie's best friends: GEORGE (Kevin Hernandez, "The Sitter"), an overly confident Mexican-American with a big vocabulary; and MIKEY (newcomer Tyler Foden), a tough kid from a broken home.
Only time will tell if Jack's blunt and unpredictable parenting style will keep his kids out of trouble, or if Joanne will have to put down the law books and step in to keep the family order. Until then, Jack's the dad the Dunlevy kids always wished they had - most of the time. For someone who is used to taking care of people with cancer, Jack's got this...right?

Greetings from Accra! At some point I will have to write a post (and put up photos!) from our girls' camp last week (it was fantastic -- the best thing I have done in Peace Corps thus far), but while I have the chance I wanted to post a few lines about our trek to Ghana.
We arrived on Wednesday afternoon after a long but not-too-unpleasant day of traveling. We made it through all the borders without a hitch, and since we rented taxis at each junction we never had to wait around for anyone.
When we pulled into Accra, you would have thought that none of us had seen a city before -- we were pointing left and right, jaws dropping at the sight of manicured lawns and highway dividers, shopping centres and traffic lights. The streets of Accra are lined with "Akwaaba Obama!" posters from the President's visit last week; we're sad we missed him, but it's definitely cool to see the city decked out in Americana.
After we found our hotel, got cleaned up and changed some money, we went out for delicious Mexican food at a sports bar around the corner. We told the waiter it was my birthday (it almost is!), which earned us a free round of drinks from a creepy old guy and cake from a real birthday party nearby. Several pitchers of Star later, we went out dancing at a club and then somehow found our way to a reggae party on the beach -- an excellent start to our vacation!
The next morning, we meandered our way to the Ghana Peace Corps bureau (definitely not as nice as ours!) and then bee-lined over to the Accra Mall for a little taste of home. It was like stepping into another world -- beautiful clothes, expensive electronics, a food court, a book store...we didn't know what to do with ourselves. Again, I found myself feeling incredibly villageoise and out of place -- I felt like people must know that I didn't belong in this clean, air-conditioned paradise. I had to stifle the urge to greet everyone I met (in French, of course) and to discuter for prices. It was very bizarre.
But the best was yet to come. Walking through the mall, I had seen several movie posters; it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe, there was a movie theatre in the mall. I asked around and sure enough, tucked away on the second floor there was a cinema and it was playing the new Harry Potter movie! I couldn't have been more excited -- I immediately ran crazily around the mall telling the girls that we would get to see Harry Potter just days after it had come out in the States. We saw the movie (and met several Ghana PCVs in the theatre) later that afternoon. It was fantastic-- and such an amazing surprise!
Then, last night we treated ourselves to a fabulous sushi dinner at a nice restaurant downtown. Afterward, we made our way to a fun reggae bar, and then a few of us called it a night while others continued the party at a swanky nightclub. We really do love Accra!
Today we head to Krokrobite for some beachside R&R. This really is quite the vacation! More to come soon...

We're a family: This is what it looks like when Breaking Bad goes for the throat
Holy shit, where do you start?
It all seemed so simple in the cold open. Walter and Jesse were cooking some meth, "Mr. White" was practicing the first of what we would be many, many lies, and the plan was in place to make some money before he died. Now? A short burst of gunfire and two DEA agents are dead. Jesse is being held captive, chained to the ceiling with a picture of Brock and his mother to motivate him to cook in order to keep them safe, and Walter's family is finally torn apart in brutal, violent fashion.
American splendor
Walter Jr. finally knows what his father has been up to, and thankfully is given more agency than just being the kid at the breakfast table. His reactions, and his ability to protect his mother and do the right thing, are welcome for a character who has been such a nothing on the show for so long. He doesn't stand by his father, he doesn't second guess his options, he tackles the man who is wrestling with his mother, puts his body between hers and the man with the knife, and calls the police.
You want a hero? Walter Jr. is the man right now. He acted simply, decisively, and bravely. What a great kid.
Then Walt takes Holly.
This was a great moment in an episode absolutely filled with them. From Hank refusing to ask for his life, to the Nazi thugs figuring out why Walter had those coordinates mapped out so precisely, to Jesse looking up and seeing two birds in the sky in what might have been his last moment of peace. It's a stunning hour of television, from front to back.
Walter taking Holly completes his fall, and this was the moment Walter White landed with a sick thud. The man who was supposed to be the hero of the story is finally cast out of his house, of his family, and becomes the villain he's never been able to admit to being. He's done, and the audience is done with him. We're ready for him to be gunned down in the streets.
That was my reaction at least. Using a baby as a bargaining chip is just about the lowest act of desperation one could imagine, a more dramatic form of kicking the dog that still has teeth. He wasn't worried about his daughter, or keeping his family together at that point. He just wanted a little leverage.
"You'll never see Hank again," Walter says. "He crossed me. You think about that. Family or no. You let that sink in." This wasn't the way it went down, of course. But this is what he tells his wife. This is the image he needs to keep up. This is the moment that Anakin becomes Darth Vader. "I've still got things left to do," he says, before removing the battery from the phone.
Or not. The image of Holly, scared and alone in that fire truck, is heartbreaking. But it also shows that Walter may not be completely damned, although there's very little he can do to atone for the long list of people he's killed, or had killed, or the lives he's ruined. That's just thinking of the violence he's funded or had a direct hand in, as his product has surely led to the destruction of countless people as well. This is a character that has flooded the world with poison, in every sense of the word, but at least he knows to return the child before going onto finishing his work.
There are no happy endings here, and the entire hour-long episode made me feel sick and dirty. Hank is dead, although he died in a way that reflected how he lived. Jesse is stuck cooking more meth after being tortured, and he doesn't do his job people he cares about will be hurt. If nothing else, this is one of the more honest relationships of the young man's life. Walt Jr. finally sees his father for who he is, and Skyler is done putting her own morals aside for the "good of the family."
The only character, outside of Walter Jr., who comes out looking good is Marie. She's dealing with "winning," and she reaches out to her sister to try to bring the family back together. She's always cared about their children, and supported Hank through the entirety of the series. She's making hard decisions, swallowing her pride, and trying to do the right thing. We already know the truth at this point, that Hank is dead, and that makes her trying to rise above the situation even harder to take.
There are good people on this show, and when things happen sometimes they try to do the right thing. This is a bleak episode, so every bit of good news you can wring from it is welcome.

Issues involving grade forgiveness, the drop/add process, tenure and promotion in academic rank were debated by the Faculty Senate.
The senate recommended that application of the Grade Forgiveness Policy be limited to one time per course. It did not, however, recommend making any changes to the number of courses under which the policy may be applied beyond what currently is noted in the University Catalog.
The university's Grade Forgiveness Policy permits an undergraduate student pursuing a baccalaureate degree to improve a grade of C- or lower by repeating the course. Currently, students may repeat a course up to three times with Grade Forgiveness applied.
When the senate made its initial recommendation regarding Grade Forgiveness nearly a year ago, "it was with the understanding that it would review this policy after a period of time had passed to see what effect the policy was having and whether the policy was too broad." Upon further review the senate determined that Grade Forgiveness requires more strict limitations on its use.
In a related issue, the senate returned to committee a proposal calling for faculty who teach 100- and 200-level courses to provide students with specific feedback on their grades prior to the drop/add period. Although senators feel that this is a necessary part of the broader issue of retention, as well as the drop/add process, there continues to be considerable debate on the appropriate mechanics for this process. The senate is expected to complete its work on this issue soon.
In another matter, the senate, acting on a recommendation from the University Promotion and Tenure Committee, endorsed several changes to the university policy on tenure which were made for the purpose of clarification. Among them are:
- "Committee votes must be recorded in the recommendations. In cases in which a vote is not unanimous, a minority report must be included."
- Department chairs are responsible for "forwarding complete review files to the dean, provost and the University Promotion and Tenure Committee."
- A curriculum vitae, rather than simply a vitae or "brief vitae," is required of each external reviewer. Also, "Each reviewer will be asked to describe any personal or professional relationship with the candidate."
- "It is the responsibility of the chair to insure in writing to the provost and the University Promotion and Tenure Committee that each external review is appropriate and is a substantive critical evaluation. It is also the responsibility of the chair to include a curriculum vitae of each reviewer. For promotion and tenure of department chairs, the responsibility belongs to the dean."
The senate recommended additional language noting that subsequent volumes of support materials "must contain copies of all published work during the time of the current rank and may contain examples of other scholarly materials."
In other action, the senate approved changes to the university policy on promotion in rank and the policy on eligibility for tenure. The senate proposes that promotion to the rank of associate professor "must occur" at the time that tenure is awarded. Further, the senate recommends that assistant professors "will be awarded" tenure only if they are simultaneously promoted to the rank of associate professor, thus, linking the promotion and tenure process as originally intended.
Recommendations approved by the Faculty Senate have been forwarded to President Runte for her consideration.

Zac Efron introduced his beloved dog to fans on Twitter on April 20.
"I've got a dog named Puppy. He's an Australian Shepherd," Efron wrote. "I'll post a picture later today."
Efron later posted a photo, which can be seen below, from his WhoSay page saying, "Here's the photo of Puppy I promised earlier. It's from last Christmas morning. Hilarious! Cheers & thanks again!"
The photo shows Efron with a close cropped haircut he sported while filming "The Lucky One." The film was released on April 20 and finished out the box office weekend in the No. 2 spot earning $22.5 million.
The film is based off the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name. The actor plays a Marine named Logan Thibault who survived three tours of duty in Iraq. Logan credits his safety to a photograph of a woman he found while in Iraq and sets out to find out who she is. He later discovers the woman is named Beth (played by Taylor Schilling) and he begins working at her dog kennel to try to work up the courage to reveal his story.
Efron told OnTheRedCarpet.com at the premiere of the film, he didn't think he could handle the role at first. "It just seemed like a challenge in so many ways. It was a role that I didn't think I was necessarily suited for," he said. "I knew it would be a great challenge."
Up next, Efron will be seen in "The Paperboy" opposite Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey and John Cusack.
Check out the photo Efron posted of his dog below.

News: Jay-Z Made Glastonbury Big Spenders, "The Year He Played We Nearly Went Bankrupt"
Monday, Jul 11, 2011 4:10PM
Known for selling out Madison Square Garden in the United States, rap mogul Jay-Z nearly forced England's annual Glastonbury Festival to become bankrupt after headlining three years ago.
Glastonbury organizer Michael Eavis has broken the news of the annual festival slowly closing shop within the next few years.
"We've probably got another three or four years. Womad and Latitude are not selling out," he commented. Eavis also claimed that his festival has suffered financial problems of its own, especially in 2008. "We sell out only because we get huge headliners. In the year Jay-Z played we nearly went bankrupt," he added. Glastonbury, which was headlined by U2, Coldplay and Beyonce last month, is due to take a break next year before returning in 2013. (NME)
In 2009, Young Hov's luxury rider, or list of demands, from the "Last Smash Bash" concert in Arizona landed online.
The chart-topping performer did not get every perk requested in his concert rider, since the school does not provide artists with alcohol, tobacco, or $400,000 luxury vehicles. Jay-Z demands that promoters provide him with ground transportation while he is in town performing. Specifically, the rap star requires a late-model black Maybach (either the 57 or 62 model) with tinted windows. Carter's dressing room must be stocked with Sapporo beer, vodka, tequila, and two bottles of $300 Champagne and two bottles (at $200 apiece) of 2004 Sassicaia, which his rider helpfully describes as a "Red, Italian Wine from Bolgheri Region." Additionally, Carter requires "Good Quality" peanut butter and jelly, one martini shaker, 12 shot glasses, and a pack of Marlboro Lights. A marked-up copy of the Jay-Z rider, provided by the University of Arizona, includes the school's deletion of items it declined to provide the rapper. (The Smoking Gun)
Jay took to the Glastonbury stage in 2008 after initially being met by criticism by rockers.
Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher had called hip hop at Glastonbury "wrong" and traditionalists in Internet chatrooms had said they would have preferred a band like Radiohead, while critics also blamed the rapper for slow ticket sales. In a nod to Gallagher, Grammy Award-winner Jay-Z -- married to singer Beyonce -- took to the stage to the strains of the Mancunian band's hit "Wonderwall", before running through a repertoire of his own hits, including "Hard Knock Life". "They say you don't want me here, Glastonbury," queried the rapper. "Now tell me, where is the love?" That question was answered by huge cheers from the crowd, whose only disappointment was that Beyonce did not make an appearance. (Reuters)
Jay recently talked about breaking the music boundary by performing at Glastonbury in 2008.
"We are a great American brand," Jay explained referring to Rocawear. "We don't envision ourselves as an urban brand or streetwear brand. We wanted to show people how we've evolved and repositioned ourselves, without abandoning our original DNA. It's all walks of life. When I played the Glastonbury music festival people said a hip-hop artist couldn't play a rock festival. But culture isn't segmented like that any more. There's so much cross-pollinization and the same thing is true for clothes." (Necole Bitchie)

A 14-year-old thought he was going to meet a prostitute, but instead came face-to-face with a thief.
Police say the teenager arranged for the woman to show up at his Prospect Heights home. When 22-year-old Dareka Brooks arrived, she hit the boy with pepper spray, then stole his iPad and piggy bank and took off.
When Brooks turned the iPad on, police traced the signal to an Elk Grove motel and made the arrest.

A ground breaking ceremony took place in New Middletown on Saturday in what will be a new chapter in the history of the school district.
The community, honored guests, and students joined the Springfield Local School District at the site of the new school which will be on Route 170 adjacent to the high school entrance.
Tom Yasvac, assistant superintendent and elementary school principal said, "It will be historic to get a building that will be state of the art and set up perfectly for all learning conditions. It will just be wonderful."
The assistant superintendent told 21 News that Superintendent Debra Mettee, teachers, and staff, are thankful for the commitment from the community to replace the elementary school which is 91 years old. Additions were made in 1952, 1957, and 1989 but there have been boiler repair problems and security concerns. At the current school, when people are buzzed into the building they have immediate access to two kindergarten classrooms before they reach the office.
Parents like Jaime Byler and her daughter Cloe are excited about the new learning environment. Byler said, "That's probably my favorite part. Knowing that the kids are more safe because of the security system. That is one of the most important aspects to all parents and students."
Ground is expected to be broken by the construction company around the second week of June. Yasvac said, "It should be about a 52 week project with occupancy anticipated for June 23, 2015. It's a 52,000 square foot building that is single story and should span about 500 feet."

I'd like to preface this by saying I don't think Gary Cohen is a bad announcer, he's better than quite a few announcers in baseball. My problem is with those who believe him to be the messiah and second to only Vin Scully. Lets take it point by point.
1. He's no Howie Rose
2. Ronny constantly asks him questions like "Jon Niese seems to have a new confidence about him, right?" And Gary will not answer. This drives me nuts a simple "a huh" would do fine but now the rest of the inning I'm sitting there feeling that Ronny was left hanging.
3. He's always comes off like a snarky douche, as if he's not allowed be made fun but is allowed to deal on Keith all the time.
4. This guy has an absolute hard on for extra inning games.
5. I don't think he has a particularly good voice for an announcer, it's more nasally than those you'll find in the midwest types although on that not sometimes that's all the midwest types will bring table.
6. He's not fucking funny AT ALL! Fuck I've never laughed at any of his stupid cutesey jokes. "Gary Picker brought us too much coffee, even for Keith, HA HAHAHA HAR HAR ArHAR!!!!!"
7. Ron however will, all the time, give fake laughter to Gary to be nice and then to of course bring it full circle will be left hanging by Gary later on. That's the commentary circle of shit that goes round and around repeatedly on the broadcast.
8. He looks like a turtle.

Short, colourful and happy. I have everything I need. Bon Jovi are my life.:)
The word hero is thrown around a lot these days, but these guys really are mine. They're always there for me in a way that no one else can be. Their music makes me feel like I'm on top of the world and whenever I'm knocked down, they're always there to pick me back up again. Nothing can keep me down with these guys in my life. They're there for me when my dreams come true and there for me when my dreams die. These men changed my life for the better. They deserve all the praise they get. They manage to keep me up when everything is telling me I shouldn't be. I love these guys more than anything in the world. They're not just people, they're magicians, they're heroes and I wish I could tell them that.
They're always there for me. Through everything.
This band are my world. They help me through everything and are always there. They taught me to dream, to believe in everything and to follow my heart. The. Best. Band. Ever.
You'll always be my Captain Crash!
This man keeps me going when everyone else fails. I love him.

Wainwright tries pop's mainstream with new album
NEW YORK (Reuters) – After writing an opera, recreating Judy Garland's classic Carnegie Hall show and performing one concert tour dressed, in his words, as a crazed feathered ghost, Rufus Wainwright is edging toward pop's mainstream.

Iraqis under threat, Indian women in focus at Tribeca
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Iraqis living in danger after working with U.S. troops and diplomats and an examination of women in modern India are two subjects grabbing the attention of critics and audiences among documentaries showing at the Tribeca Film Festival this week.
Both films are part of a lineup of 32 documentaries at the New York festival, which runs through Sunday, that tell true tales from inside and outside the United States. Documentaries, which have become more stylized in recent years with inexpensive hi-tech cameras, have traditionally been a strength at Tribeca. This year is no exception, and many of these non-fiction movies will be seen in theaters and on TV throughout 2012.
Filipino singer's 'journey' takes Tribeca stage
NEW YORK (Reuters) – At age 40, Arnel Pineda lived every wannabe rock star's dream, middle-aged fan's fantasy and even one poor country's hope for financial success.
A little more than five years ago, as videos of Pineda performing Journey cover tunes played on YouTube, he sat at home in the Philippines on the verge of giving up his dream of a singing and songwriting career.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A lighthearted romantic comedy opened New York's Tribeca film festival on Wednesday bringing some crowd-pleasing laughs and a smattering of red carpet glamour before audiences settle into 12 days of mostly independent cinema.
The premiere of "The Five-Year Engagement," starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, by the same team behind "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," kicked off the festival which is entering its second decade with organizers promising a broader quality of films from all regions of the world.
Book lovers react bitterly to no fiction Pulitzer
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Disappointed book lovers and the publishing world lashed out on Tuesday at the refusal to declare a Pulitzer fiction winner, saying it would hurt sales and gave the impression that 2011 was a bad year for novels.
Monday's lack of a decision by the Pulitzer board could also hurt an industry accused of fixing prices for e-books, critics said.
Tribeca broadens film slate for festival's second decade
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The Tribeca Film Festival kicks off this week with a greater emphasis on independent foreign films in competition, stars such as Justin Bieber on red carpets and a broader overall program heading into its second decade.
The festival, one of the largest in the United States and co-founded by Robert De Niro as a way to revive downtown Manhattan after the September 11 attacks, opens on Wednesday with high-profile Hollywood comedy, "The Five-Year Engagement" starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.
After cocaine binge, Bill Clegg writes of recovery
NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York literary agent Bill Clegg's first memoir counted down two months spent blowing $70,000 on a binge of crack cocaine and male escorts in New York's boutique hotels while avoiding loved ones and the publishing agency he built and owned.
His newest book begins where the first left off with a new goal of 90 days. But this time around, Clegg is not out to kill himself with endless sleep-deprived, paranoid nights on cocaine. Instead, it's an account of getting sober and a journey of relapse and recovery.

He took everything . . . then came back for more.
Former Detective Karin Schaeffer has nothing left to live for after serial killer Martin Price destroys all she holds dear. Known as "The Domino Killer" because he leaves dominoes as a clue to his next victim, Price doesn't stop until an entire family is destroyed. Even when he's locked away in prison, the shadow he casts over Karin's life keeps her in constant darkness.
Then a policeman brings news to her door: Price has escaped. Karin knows where he's headed because of the message he left behind last time, scrawled in blood, on her bathroom mirror—
You are next.
But Karin Schaeffer refuses to run and hide. She feels no fear and has nothing left to lose. And so she waits. She won't stand by and let Price harm any more of her family. And she won't rest until she's put him back behind bars forever . . . or until one of them is dead.

Chem 121
Really helpful and it is totally worth it to come to office hours! Lectures were fun and engaging, i would definitely recommend him to anyone taking Chem 121!
Amazing, inspirational and extremely helpful. Chem 121 is generally considered to be challenging once you get to quantum mechanics and that was true but he will essentially relecture and go over everything in great detail over and over in his office hours. What a beauty.
A dedicated prof that is always willing to help his students. Makes you want to throw in 110% into the course/lab work too. Office hours are the best hours. Also, chilli pepper well deserved.
Chem 121
I love his analogies during class! I found them super great for understanding the material. Would totally recommend going to his office hours too, he's super friendly and helpful and dedicated to the students. Though there may be long line for him, he's worth the wait.
Chem 121
He truly helps his students in office hours and is really keen on answering questions. He's really approachable and smiles often. He truly cares about teaching (had us fill a feedback form asking how his teaching is and how to improve) He uses demonstrations a lot and that helps makes class more exciting. He is an engaging prof. Recommended!
Chem 121
He really cares for the students. His teaching methods are superb and an overall great teacher
C211 lab
He is an amazing lab director!!
He is very approachable outside of class and tries his best to answer questions during his lectures. Chem 121 itself is a course that is somewhat confusing at times, but he tries to make it more interactive with demonstrations. Good prof overall.
He always tries to answer every question you have. And you can just go to his office without making any appointment. He is always there when he has no lab or lecture. He loves teaching. And he is also kind of funny.
You can tell that he has a passion for learning and truly cares about his students. He always tries to integrate useful analogies to spice up the class a little, though it doesn't always work. Either way, he's a great person and for an 8AM class he kept me awake. I would definitely take another one of his classes!
He's a really nice guy who loves to add little anecdotes into his lectures. His accent took a little time to get used to but it's not a problem after two weeks in. He has a totally open door policy and actually seems interested in learning who you are and what your learning needs are. Recommended!

I just love how people pull these things out of their arse, post them, and then don't provide backing links pointing to the phantom article which said this... The Globe reports Sakic, a native of Burnaby, B.C., could join the Vancouver Canucks next year. If anybody finds the link to the original article...I couldn't in the 15 mins I had of trying...post it. Cuz I'd like to ridicule that idea at the source.

This may be too dark if your room does not have a lot of light, but you can always add white to lighten it up. I love it and would describe it as a blue-green-gray. Wait! There's one more thing!

The most leftie opening ceremony I have ever seen - more than Beijing, the capital of a communist state! Welfare tribute next?
Thank God the athletes have arrived! Now we can move on from leftie multi-cultural crap. Bring back red arrows, Shakespeare and the Stones!

Redskins have overhauled roster in a short time
Rocky McIntosh (left) and Carlos Rogers will be at minicamp, even though they haven't signed their tender offers.
View More Images from this story
Visit the Photo Place
Even if the additions don't result in a drastically revamped starting lineup, though, the new faces provide an air of change. They arrive believing that they can earn the approval of the new regime, and that should result in the increased level of competition that so many around Redskins Park have mentioned this offseason.
"Whether you're creating competition, that's the way this game is played anyways," veteran receiver Santana Moss said. "You're not going to sit back and say, 'Hey I got it all made.' Bring the guys in. Have a battle. That's the way you win games anyways. You have the best guys out there on the field. Whatever [Shanahan] is doing, I think he's doing a good job."
The new guys seem to appreciate the freshness, as well. Whether the changes produce substantial improvements is unknown for now, so optimism currently stands in place of results.
"All of us feel like we're just starting class and learning a new system, but it's fun," McNabb said after the team's first minicamp last month. "It's fun to think that we've shown signs of a lot of positive plays, both running and passing. It makes it more exciting each time we step out on the field."
