Associated Press
BALTIMORE - A Republican campaign consultant was convicted Friday of conspiracy for 2010 robocalls that prosecutors said were aimed at keeping black voters from the polls during Maryland's gubernatorial election.
Julius Henson was acquitted of three other charges, including influencing or attempting to influence a voter's decision whether to go to the polls through the use of fraud. He worked for former Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich's campaign during his rematch with Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley.
"Obviously, we're elated," said Henson who noted he was found not guilty of the most serious charges and that he felt the state's own witnesses showed the message brought voters on both sides to the polls.
Henson was found guilty of conspiring to not provide an authority line on campaign materials and released on his own recognizance pending sentencing. Henson's attorney, Edward Smith Jr., immediately told the judge he would file for a new trial on that charge. Baltimore Circuit Judge Emanuel Brown scheduled a June 13 sentencing date as well as a hearing that day on the motion Smith said he would file within 10 days.
Afterward, Henson again defended the message.
"This is what we do in politics each and every day, I thought it was a good call with or without a tag," Henson said, adding the campaign decided not to put an authority line on the message.
When asked outside the courtroom about the grounds for a new trial, Smith said constitutional free speech rights were among the strongest. The attorney said the conspiracy charge was the least of the charges Henson faced because it didn't say Henson kept voters from the polls.
"That really is the blockbuster because this was meant to send that message," Smith said of the trial.
The calls were sent in the hours before polls closed on Election Day to about 110,000 Democratic voters in Baltimore and Prince George's County _ two jurisdictions with high percentages of black voters. The calls told listeners to "relax" because O'Malley had won.
Henson, who is black, testified at the trial that he was hired to help the Ehrlich campaign with African-American community outreach and the calls were a counterintuitive attempt to stimulate voting in the final hours of the election.
The jury of five black men, five black women and two white men had deliberated over three days.
Ehrlich campaign manager Paul Schurick also was convicted in the case. Schurick was found guilty of conspiring to use fraud to influence or attempt to influence a voter's decision to go to the polls and to publish campaign material without an authority line. He received a one-year suspended sentence and 30 days of home detention.
State Prosecutor Emmet Davitt said he was disappointed not to get convictions on three of the counts, but was "hopeful the conviction in conjunction with the convictions of Mr. Schurick will send the message that our elections laws are there to protect our right to vote and to protect the integrity of the system and will be enforced."
Davitt said his office would oppose attempts to seek a new trial, which he said was a routine motion by defense attorneys that is rarely granted and he didn't feel there was any basis for one in this case.
Henson, who faces up to a year on the conspiracy charge, said he was relieved because the trial could have turned out similarly to Schurick's trial.
Henson said he and his supporters were elated that the most serious charges were dropped. He also questioned how he could be found guilty of conspiracy not to put an authority line on the material and not guilty doing so, adding that he advised the campaign to add the line.
"It was not my job to do that," Henson said. "I told them the correct thing to do and they refused to do it."
Henson said 50 percent of campaign materials don't have authority lines, and he likened the lack of one to jaywalking.
"It's not enforced. This happens every day," Henson said.
Henson said he had lost millions of dollars in consulting fees while dealing with the trial and now planned to work on a campaign opposing same-sex marriage in Maryland.

Damage Assessment
Gave up on the first season of FX's high-sheen, double-triple-quadruple crossing Damages (Glenn Close disposing of foes and obstructers like a Machiavellian stiletto) when a slain dog was used for a dash of wicked frisson, but, having skipped season two entirely, I thought I'd give this third season a go since it has a Bernie Madoff story arc and the cast to do it justice, including Len Cariou as the venal patriarch, Lily Tomlin as his wife, Campbell Scott as his son, and, a true tasty treat, Martin Short as the family lawyer, who has the sneering stare of a leather-skinned salamander.
So I watched the premiere last night and ticked off all the positives in my head as it sped along: the clever twists and tension devices, the sinisterly casual meetings initially fobbed off as coincidences (Keith Carradine turning up the way he did), the proficient acting, the moneyed vision of Manhattan undisturbed by the economic downturn, the surprise appearance of Tom Noonan and his looming lightbulb head as a police detective, the nutcracking dialogue. The Soderbergh time-jumping didn't bother me, although about the third time a title card told us "Six Months Later," I was thinking, Yeah, we know, the flash-forwards are blue-tinted, we get it.
But my primary problem with Damages remains: for all its ingenuity and crafty execution, it just isn't very pleasurable. Its cynicism and gamesmanship are too self-conceited and self-enclosed, allowing no breathing space for true humor or lyricism to flourish, something that lifts you out of the plot maze they've constructed and unfolds into something larger, wider. And as much as I can suspend disbelief, Damages is predicated on the assumption that schemes can be carried out with ruthless efficiency in New York. Nonsense. Everything in NY takes longer than you think and costs more than you anticipate and is subject to all kinds of random interference, the latter something that 70's paranoia thrillers incorporated into their action.
Even so, I suppose I'll stick with the show for another episode or two, if only to see Martin Short hone his nasty glare and to get a look at how my block figures into the series. They were filming up here last week at night, trailers lining the streets and thick cables snaking the sidewalk. Now that Law & Order is doing so much less location shooting in the nabe, USA's White Collar and Damages are our only links to the tedious excitement of TV entertainment taking up parking space.

Ogilvy & Mather Embarks on 'Journey to Extraordinary' for Holiday Inn
Ogilvy & Mather, New York's latest campaign for The Holiday Inn examines the inspirational stories of individuals who have made the "Journey to Extraordinary" in a series of web documentaries.
The first in the series explores the story of Scott Rigsby, a double-amputee who was told by doctors at the age of eighteen that he would never run again. Not only did Scott prove the doctors wrong, he went on to become a marathoner, tri-athlete, world record holder, author and motivational speaker. A certain Panama City Holiday Inn location played an important role in his story, keeping Scott from homelessness, and the 3:30 video focuses on Scott's recovery while staying there and his friendship with hotel owner Julie Hilton.
The "Journey to Extraordinary" series will continue over the course of the summer and into the fall, with a new documentary added weekly via the brand's Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter pages, as well as on YouTube. Stick around for credits after the jump. Read more

Quick Makeup Fixes
Look gorgeous always with these touch-up tips, plus how to prevent problems in the first place
By Melissa Matthews Brown
Uh-Oh: My mascara's clumpy
While rushing through your morning routine, you swipe on mascara too quickly and end up creating a uni-lash.
FIX IT: Run the mascara brush over a soft handkerchief or microfiber towel (tissues can tear and leave pieces behind) to gently remove product buildup, repeating until the brush wipes clean. Then, place the wand at the base of your lashes and gently twirl as you pull it upward to separate them.
PREVENT IT: "If there's too much mascara on the brush, it can clump," explains Jennifer Paulson Lee, president of LashControl Mascara. To combat this, swirl the wand clockwise as you pull it out of the tube. Then, dab away the excess from the brush's tip.

Foreign weapons sent to rebels in Syria worry IraqSeptember 25, 2013 @ 6:39 pm
NEW YORK (AP) - Iraq's top diplomat warned outside nations Wednesday not to send military aid to Syria's rebellion for fear they could assist jihadist groups that he said might have a role in a future government in Damascus.
Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Iraq is taking no side in the 2 1/2 civil war in Syria and urged other counties to resist meddling.
"We deplore the efforts of anyone to supply more weapons to any party to the ongoing conflict _ whether to support the government of (Syrian President) Bashar Assad or one of the rebel forces," Zebari said at the Council on Foreign Relations during a visit to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly. "This will only perpetuate the conflict and reduce the prospects of a negotiated settlement."
He added: "As long as it is not clear that any rebel-formed government in Damascus will not be controlled by al-Qaida or (jihadist group) al-Nusra, we oppose providing military assistance to any rebel group. We can think of no more perilous development for our security than the emergence of an al-Qaida-dominated government on our border."
Iraqi extremist groups linked to al-Qaida have joined the fighting in Syria. Zebari and other Iraqi officials say that has spilled over to escalate violence in Baghdad over the last year.
The U.S. began sending small arms to the Syrian opposition within the last few weeks, and has arranged for anti-tank weapons to be funneled to vetted rebel fighters through allied nations. President Barack Obama is also considering launching missile strikes to punish Assad's regime for its alleged chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that Western intelligence agencies say killed more than 1,000 people in Damascus' suburbs.
Zebari cited foreign intelligence as saying nearly 10,000 foreign fighters have joined the civil war, fighting against the regime.
The U.S. for more than a year has accused Baghdad of allowing Iran to fly military aid through Iraqi airspace to help Assad's regime. Zebari on Wednesday acknowledged that has happened, but said his government is all but powerless to stop it as Iraq's air force is not capable of stopping flights through its skies.
"Although we don't deny that, really, our ability to prevent that is limited," he said.

Your search "headstones" resulted in 1 Article
Hollywood CemeteryAnother of Richmond's gems, Hollywood Cemetery almost hides itself from the untrained eye. The entrance is located in Oregon Hill, off of Cherry St., almost around the corner from St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. The city has put up signs pointing in the direction of the cemetery, so if you're on West Cary St. just follow the blue signs and it'll lead you there. Once through the main gates it's easy to lose your bearings – there are so many winding roads with names like "Cedar Lane," and "Freeman Drive," that they all start to look the same.

What a wonderful beautiful TRASH
I went with my teacher one day on a field trip to someplace I had never gone too and I always was curious about. No, it wasn't France. It was a place that you think I was screwy to question about…it was a dump site. Yes, a Dump Site. The place where all the trash of the city went to be tossed away, where all my McDonald wrappers were finally put to rest.
But was this actually necessary? Two teachers, Dave, my Urban Planning teacher and Kory, my food justice teacher gave us some questions to figure out the day before. "If food is waste along with other things that could be recycled then how much is actually trash?" This is something I never really thought about. I knew that people didn't recycle because it cost a lot, I knew that paper, plastic, and metal was something recyclable, and I knew that food broke down over time, but I never knew what was being done about these things after they were taken to the site. Where they separated into separate piles like I had seen in movies? Were they all a giant plane of mixed up stuff like commercial showed then they shown those helpless children in other countries, or where they piled high as a mountain like a cartoon. I wanted to know this, for as now that I knew that everything was connected in had to know how much stuff we were poisoning in our cycles (and how much closer we were to the "Happening" I joked.) We went during the second class period in the oldest automobile the school owned. Dandy, the moody truck that gave us the bad feeling that we would crash anytime we rode in her. We had loaded our trash that we had in several trash cans and we were off. While we were driving to the site we talked about we talked about why we were going to a dump site.
Here are some facts I leaned.
75% of trash could be ether recycle, composted, or reused.
The biggest percent was made of Organic waste, paper, and wood stuff.
That glass and plastic does not break down over time, it stays.
That the site where all the Katrina and Rita damage trash was illegal.
And that trash pile would reach eight stories high.
Yes, eight stories high of garbage. That is how much stuff is the dump site. Why eight stories worth of trash? Well due to our mayor making this illegal site an order, it allowed whatever company to forgo all the rules and procedures in making and keeping a trash site. Yes, thank you mayor, now well have over 8.2 million cubic tons worth of stuff to up after you! But I can't put all the blame on him; we are just as to blame as him.
We need to be aware of the things that we do to our environment, as well as nature. It's funny how aware things you can be when surrounded by a whole site of trash while looking at beautiful birds.
I hope in the years to come, we will battle that way we deal with our waste so that those birds will have a beautiful place to live……..
And that the garbage trucks smell better. (phew!)
That's all for now,
Brandon B. student of OSBG

The reason why the British had very little hope of cutting off the German supplies to Norway was that it was operating in Germany's back yard. Air support from the Luftwaffe could strike at RN ships long before they could hit anything worth while.
In the English Channel, the roles are reversed. The RN can easily sail from harbours in Norwich or in the South West, strike German convoys and retire to safety overnight.
We need more "what if/dogs of war"-style threads here; they make for awesome mindgames.
Anyways, I think your plan sounds more feasible for the Germans than Sea Lion was, but its still really problematic. The biggest issue in my opinion is that there seems to be practically no room for error and readjustment; everything has to go exactly as planned (the paratroopers are able to deploy and withdraw quickly, little to no resistance from the air and sea, etc.) or else the entire operation goes to hell. The only way I can see a raid like that working is as an interim operation in between the Battle of Britain if it was a German victory and a larger, more sustained ground operation in the future. That way it would serve as a probe of how heavy the initial defense would be as well as terrify the British population. Other than that, there sounds like too many risks for too little gain.
The point during which RN would have made a significant difference would been during the first crucial hours of the operation.
There's also problem with the three waves of 4000 idea. I think RAF would have taken JU-52s down in great numbers so the number of paratroopers on 2nd and 3rd waves would have been drastically smaller than on the 1st one.
Here is the problem Breerman. The surface KM was practically destroyed during the Norway campaign. Its effect on the RN is going to be almost zip. By the time July 1940 came around, the German Navy had also practically run out of mines (which was a pity for them as the magnetic mines had they been stockpilled would have been excellent for closing the channel). That only leaves submarines to prevent the sailings of the RN's destroyer flotillas. Submarines are great when you are dealing with slow merchants, not so good with high speed warships. I am not saying there will be no losses to submarines, but I am saying you will be disappointed if you are counting on them to stop the RN.
Supplies are going to be critical, and the only way to get them is across the channel which BTW is 22km, not 6 in width at the closest point. The only shipping that was available that can land supplies on the beach (and that is what you are going to have to do because you can guarantee that the British will destroy the Dover docks if they are in danger of falling) are your converted river barges. Moving at 2-3 km/h or taking 7 - 10 hours to make it each way. That's pretty much a 24 hour round trip, so you are going to have to run them 24 hours a day to get the supplies to shore. They can't go faster, they'll swamp. They can't go in anything other than the lightest seas or they'll swamp. All it takes is a couple of days of bad weather and your forces will run out of supplies without the RN even casting off the docks. Never mind what this will do to your reinforcements. And a landing zone for Wehrmacht supplies is a big enough target that even Bomber Command might be able to hit it.
Interesting idea. I think that the concept could not just be a raid. Raid to me implies an assault and then a withdrawal for some purpose, a HVT like a factory or destruction of harbor or airfield. Which would hamper the war effort (economically, pyshologically, militarily) but it could not be expected to hasten the end of the war. Even a planned withdrawal would give the Brits a feeling of "victory."
In order to force Churchill to sue for peace, the Germans would have to establish a foothold, be able to resupply it and further project, operationally into the UK from there. Which based on your analysis, I'm not sure they could do. Would such a foothold hasten a US involvement in the war (not that the US could have done much as we were still unprepared for war)?
In any case, IF the Germans could land a force, they would not have been able to sustain it for long enough to force Churchill to the peace table.
As an alternative Lac, how about a raid on a British Radar station, capturing the equipment and maybe an operator or two. A counterpoint as it were to the British operation that did the same thing to a German radar site.
The material captured at Bruneval allowed the Brits to develop chaff that was used with some effect later on to white out German radar screens, but I don't know that the Germans ever developed a similar capability.
I'm not even sure what the capture of a Würzburg set exactly accomplished.
The frequencies were allready well known to the british from passive ELINT measures.
Both sides knew about the jamming effect of metal foils before the war, and both sides refrained from using it because they were afraid the other side might discover it then.
The Luftwaffe started using chaff ("Düppel" in German) in 1943 as well, both in the "baby blitz" raids on britain as well as in the short lived strategic bombing campaign against the USSR in 1943-44 and in other sporadic raids.
AFAIK the Bari disaster happened because of successful german chaff laying.
I agree. There is nothing in my German Dieppe that would make a bean of difference to the length of the war. On the other hand, both sides indulged themselves in such behaviours, sometimes to make a political point, other times for some marginal advantage. This one I see as a political gesture because it most certainly could not be supported as any kind of military benefit.
As a point of interest, I gather that several RAF radar sets were captured by the Germans during the Battle for France, but their experten dismissed them as rather primative.
Which was a perfectly fair and valid evaluation, the high tech revolution from things like the cavity magnetron hadnt come into general use and the real genius of the British radar wasn't the sets which were no more advanced than any other nations but the command and control system behind them.

Historical Traveller Reviews of South Seas Hotel
Just right!from A TripAdvisor Member
This hotel is a gem! Extremely clean rooms with comfortable beds. Staff is accommodating and pleasant. The pool area segues perfectly through a hammock paradise opening up to the sunny inviting beach. I expected more noise at night but was pleasantly surprised at my peaceful sleep.
The bathrooms are a bit small and the wine selection could use some improvement. All in all, I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely go back.

great placefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Could not have asked for a better 4 day stay in South Beach- wonderful staff, accomodating service, clean rooms- nice pool and bar, ocean swims- the proximity to Lincoln Road for evenings out was excellent. I was a little envious of the pool at the Delano- but Hey! Who needs posh? For less than 1/2 the price, this place was spot on. Have told loads of friends about it. Really loved it and can't wait to go back.
Perfect for a quick tripfrom A TripAdvisor Member
We just came back from a quick trip tp Miami Beach where we stayed at the South Seas Hotel. It was exactly as I expected and fit the bill perfectly. It is a smaller hotel with a nice bar and pool area, clean rooms and generally friendly staff. The rooms were older (as most are in this type of Miami Beach hotel) but were clean and comfortable. The only complaint is that the noise tends to travel from the hallways and is heard clearly in the rooms. The bottom line is that if you are looking for a clean, less expensive hotel to stay in while you enjoy Miami Beach, I would recommend the South Seas.
Need at least a partial viewfrom A TripAdvisor Member
We had a great time, but only found the hotel to be nice after switching rooms after the 1st night. Most rooms have tiny windows so the rooms are really dark. Once we got a better room, it made all the difference. Clean rooms (non-smoking). Nice pool.
Great Location - Wonderful Poolfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Great older hotel. The pool was excellent! The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. The hammocks in the coconut grove were a perfect place to spend the afternoon. Will definitely stay here again.
great hotelfrom agreene
We stayed at the South Seas Hotel for 5 days, Dec. 27-Jan. 1st and were very pleased with our choice. The rates were high because of the season but I found that I got the best rate through the hotel's own website. I was worried about the small rooms and had not paid extra for an ocean view. However, the hotel paid attention to my request for a queen-size or king-size bed and gave us a street-facing corner room that was a very good size. The street noise was never a problem for us either. I would recommend this hotel and would return for another visit.
Very Comfortable and cleanfrom A TripAdvisor Member
I read many reviews from Trip Advisor about the South Seas Hotel in Miami. After the reviews I decided to take a chance on the hotel because they were favorable. The rooms are very small. There is little closet space and little drawer space, but the hospitality and friendliness of the staff will make that of no importance. The hotel is immaculate and the staff takes a great deal of pride in the appearance of the facility. The staff at the reservations desk will go over/above and beyond to help you make reservations, find taxi's, or locate a specific destination. The South Seas appears to be a family owned, and family respected hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It will be the hotel of choice whenever I visit South Miami.
in miamifrom A TripAdvisor Member
I stayed a long time ago and I was advised that the hotel had a multi-million dollar refurbishment. I stayed during the hot humid summer of 1987, my hotel room was very comfortable, I closed my air conditioner, because my room got too cold after 5 minutes I had to turn it on again. The highlight of this hotel is their pool and it's temperature. Outside in Miami beach if you've never been to Miami during the summer-it's a 24hour steambath, however when I went into my pool, the water was just so PERFECT that I wanted to tour Miami with my hotel's pool around my neck(it was sooo comfortable) I recommend if you have a business meeting in Miami during the summer and you have a choice of hotels to stay at stay here and bring your swimming trunks with you.
Perfect locationfrom skuplis
This was a post cruise stay. Great location, staff was very helpfull.
Hall way can be a little noisy. Breakfast was good. Omlettes and eggs for added fee was a nice complement. Heated pool was soothing. If you want South beach stay here!!!!!

A good place to stayfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The South Seas Hotel is a great hotel if you are on a budget. I booked the room on hotel wiz for a price of $63 which was fantastic. Beautiful and clean, good rooms felt they had been refurbished, although not particularly large but think that is common in Miami. Staff extremely helpful. Good position in the centre of everything. 5 mins walk to Lincoln Road Mall. Free breakfast which is adequate. cereals, toast, bagel, jam cooked breakfast could be bought for a few dollars extra.All in all an excellent place for the money. If you want sheer luxury not the place to stay but if you want a nice room access to the beach and a nice pool with an hammack area and a central location this is the one for you.
Top Local Tips for Miami
Good Restaurants and Things to do afterwards nearby Visit Grillfish, Van Dyke Hotel Cafe, Caffe La Lupa Di Roma, and Bacio all around Lincoln Rd. Shop at any of the cool boutiques or take in a flick afterwards at the Regal South Beach in Lincoln Mall.
Jerry's Diner Jerry's Diner on Collins has decent prices for a variety of large portions of food. It's open 24/7!
The Porch We had delicious and inexpensive lunch here! the food was aweome, service was perfect, and a nice view of the strip!

45+ Beautiful and Creative Bottle Designs
as seen on http://www.tripwiremagazine.com
When you are in a supermarket, what convinces you to choose the product over its competitors displayed side by side to it on a shelf? Perhaps, a lot would say the brand, some would say the price, and others would say nothing except its beautiful packaging. For those who go for the brand, I know that they do so because they have already used or tested the brand and they are satisfied with its results. This group of customers tend to ignore the price and the packaging. We call them repeat customers.
On the other hand, those of us who have no idea about any brand, there is a big chance that our buying decisions will be affected by the product's packaging. That's it! We tend to equate beautiful packaging to excellent quality or anything along that line. Illogical or strange as it may seem but that is we as costumers make our decisions. This behavior has been taken advantage of by marketing strategists to advance their brands forward, and they do so with help of graphic designers skilled in advertising.
From the perspective of graphic artists, a grocer's shelf thus, is a place where a never-ending art contest is held, and in which their package design is a participant pitted side by side with that of other graphic artists. It is thus no wonder that product packages are often highly creative artworks.
For products that come in liquid form like beverages, scents, oils and etc., product packaging artworks can be observed at its best. Unlike in any other product, liquid items are always sold in bottles and these bottles are often product packaging artworks in 3D. Anything else is 2D. With bottles, graphic designers has to take into consideration not only the visual perception of the audience but their sense of touch as well.

Naked2 (C67C4) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous level of Naked2 protein.Species Reactivity: Human
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala217 of human Naked2.
Naked1 (Nkd1) and Naked2 (Nkd2) are homologs of Drosophila Naked cuticle, a negative regulator of Wnt/Wingless signaling pathway which functions through a feedback mechanism (1,2). Both Drosophila and vertebrate Naked proteins contain a putative calcium-binding EF-hand motif, however, Drosophila Naked binds to zinc instead of calcium (3). Naked inhibits the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway by binding to Dishevelled proteins and directs Dishevelled activity towards the planar cell polarity pathway (2,4). Naked1 is a direct target of Wnt signaling and is overexpressed in some colon tumors due to constitutive activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway (5). Naked2 is myristoylated and is required for sorting of TGF-α to the basolateral plasma membrane of polarized epithelial cells (6).

S. Korea notes N. Korean leader's speech

S. Korea notes N. Korean leader's speech
Published By United Press International
SEOUL, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Kim Jong Un's New Year message indicated the young North Korean leader's intention to manage inter-Korean relations, a South Korean minister said Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, South Korean Unification Minister Yu Woo-ik said the address, released by the isolated Communist country on New Year's Day, showed Kim, who became leader in December 2011 on the death of his father, will "handle" the situation on the Korean Peninsula, Yonhap News reported.
"The message was bland and there was no ground-breaking proposal," Yu said but noted Kim had called for building his country's economy and handling tensions with South Korea, Yonhap reported.
South Korea is now led by President-elect Park Geun-hye, who won the presidential elections last month and will be sworn in Feb. 25.
Yonhap reported the new president has pledged to engage in talks with North Korea, which conducted nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009. Last month, the North fired a long-range rocket, claiming to launch a satellite in space in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Critics saw it as a test of the North's long-range missile capability.
Yu also was quoted as saying while South Korea in the past has tried to engage the North with little progress, the new Seoul administration should continue to encourage the North to change.
The Chosun Ilbo reported Kim's speech was by far the most conciliatory yet and that the Korea Institute for National Unification said it brought hopes of improved inter-Korean relations.
Kim's New Year's address was the first in a speech format in 19 years as his father was used to sending out his messages in print.
The Wall Street Journal said the tone of the new leader's message also was militaristic and didn't indicate any change in economic or foreign policy.
"Our army and people made great strides in their efforts to build a thriving socialist country and improve the people's living standards by displaying an indomitable will and waging an unyielding struggle," he said, while repeatedly praising the military, crediting it with the rocket launch.
The Journal said Kim, however, didn't name the countries the North regards as adversaries such as the United States, South Korea and Japan. There was also no reference to North Korea's nuclear-weapons program as much of the speech was devoted to economic progress, the report said.

Magazines vs. Journals: What's the difference?
Scholarly Journals
- Authors are experts/authorities in their fields.
- Authors cite their sources in endnotes, footnotes, or bibliographies.
- Individual issues have little or no advertising.
- Articles must go through a peer-review process (experts in the discipline evaluate each author's work before any articles are published).
- Articles are usually reports on scholarly research.
- Illustrations usually take the form of charts and graphs.
- Articles use jargon of the discipline.
- Articles are typically five or more
pages in length.
Popular Magazines
- Authors are magazine staff members/regular columnists or free lance writers.
- Authors often mention sources, but rarely formally cite them in bibliographies.
- Individual issues contain numerous advertisements.
- There is no peer review process.
- Articles are meant to inform and entertain (thus they are also thought of as consumer publications because they are published for a wide audience).
- Illustrations are numerous and colorful.
- Language is geared to the general adult audience (no specialized knowledge of jargon needed).
- Articles are typically fairly short (one or two columns to one or a few pages).

Office 2008 for Mac delayed until January 2008
It was announced today that Office 2008, originally slated for a 2007 release, will now be releasing in January 2008.
No specific reasons were pinpointed in the announcement other than the software was not meeting its quality checkpoints in June and July of this year.
With the lack of information, but vague promises of "hoping" to share more in September, eager customers hoping to use this by the end of the year are left with more questions than answers. This is also no pricing information at this time, only working on Intel powered Macs at first, a definite opening for a new version of iWork seems to be appearing.
It has been rumored for a while now that Apple would release a new version of the productivity suite at the same time as their new version of OS X, Leopard. Up until now, the Apple backed competitor to Miscorsoft Office has been lacking a spreadsheet app, if that was to fall into place with this next release, the delay of Office 2008 could become a moot point for many of the Apple faithful.
Next week, Apple will be having another of their media events to announce new products, and with the emphasis appearing to be on Mac, there is a chance we will hear the news on iWork at that time.

Ari Partinen, one of Nokia's PureView camera gurus, leaves for Apple
All in all, Mr. Partinen is one of Nokia's gurus in the field of mobile imaging technology, but sadly, May 9 is his last work day at the Finnish company, which sold its Devices & Services division to Microsoft. But Ari Partinen won't remain unemployed for long. In fact, he has already settled for a new job. In Cupertino, California.
That's right, one of Nokia's biggest experts in the mobile camera department announced that he will work for Apple from June onwards. This was announced by Ari Partinen himself on Twitter. He expressed his satisfaction of the outcome by stating that he will be starting "a new chapter in Cupertino". Hopefully, Ari Partinen's involvement with Apple will result into future iDevices with even better imaging capabilities.
Partinen is not the first member of the team behind the PureView technology to leave the Finns. Back in November 2012, another prominent photo guru - Damian Dinning - kissed Nokia goodbye and moved to Jaguar Land Rover.
Alas, it is pretty sad to witness that key experts are leaving Nokia, which was once the dominant player on the mobile phone market. However, times are changing and one should expect a high-ranking expert such as Ari Partinen to desert the sinking ship and look for better opportunities.
Today will be my last day working for the amazing #Lumia family. In June I will start a new chapter in Cupertino, California. Much love!— Ari Partinen (@Partinen) May 9, 2014

Everyone is looking for better opportunities, so good to switch the job... apple really need some one in camera department... but the problem with apple is they always use midrange specs in the phone to make huge profits...

41. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 1269; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
"mid-range specs"? The A7 is the best ARM processor in a device you can buy, or will be able to buy, until the A7x/A8 starts shipping, the screen is a one of the highest rated by Display Mate, the camera is one of the best rated by DxO photography, and the chassis is more expensive to make than anything outside the Vertu line. I would hate to see what constitutes high-end specs, but be sure to let us know when that finally hits the shelves.
45. Ashoaib (Posts: 2423; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Galaxy S5 cost more to manufacture than iphone, this is for your kind information, expensive chassis boy... search an article about gs5's manufacturing cost on this very same sitewww.phonearena.com... iphone production cost is also mentioned there.... only the processor make it high end?? You forget about cheap small screen, 1gb ram for cost cutting... 8mp for cost cutting and many more, list goes on n on... only good part is that apple is able to use all midrange specs very efficiently
56. Finalflash (Posts: 1896; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
Yea....but all of those were the same things used in 2010...so none of that is "good". Plus, when you say one of the highest rated, it literally is the lowest among the high end of smartphones (but better than the mid/low level stuff). Also, Vertu SUUUCCKSS in all ways, including build quality. Comparing to them is literally saying you have no attention to detail and are severely influenced by marketing fluff.
59. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
The best I say and powerful is the Eyxnos 5422 at 22nm and Tegra5
On let say we take the A7 Soc and it tries to push Android high end device and see what happens
Even Baytrail by Intel is better
Forget about pipelines we are talking about raw power and torque which A15 needs lots of battery May like 4000mah
64. desniper9 (Posts: 38; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
define midrange. The A7 despite having less cores and a lower clock speed still manages to keep up with snapdragon 800's in benchmarks. The camera is competitive with other flagships. It's screen is one of the best calibrated screens in the industry despite it's meagre size. People have to realise that some people (i.e most iOS and even android users) don't care about specs. The only complain I hear from non tech people are about Apple maps and it's screen size
44. jroc74 (Posts: 5192; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Uh oh...Seems like those amazing cameras that Nokia phones have wont be so exclusive to Nokia anymore....

They can't have pure view cameras.
19. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 554; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
You're right, Apple focused in quality not quantity(pixel count).
20. sip1995 (Posts: 937; Member since: 07 Feb 2014)

27. papss (unregistered)
Why is it that Apple can't topple the 1020 in camera comparos if it's only an out quality?
30. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 554; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Because Nokia focused in both quality and quantity.
57. Finalflash (Posts: 1896; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
So it can be done, just that you choose to hail a company that chooses not to. With the amount of money Apple has and makes, I am pretty sure they could easily make it happen. Unfortunately there is no consumer push from the docile Apple crowd so why would they (although, Nokia pretty much did without being prodded for it).
65. desniper9 (Posts: 38; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)

Not very happy but I believe Nokia(MS) still has enough photo experts.
There is just one thing about article, how is MS sinking ship ? I believe MS has enough money to run Mobile business for long time. I think he is leaving to quickly.

yeah that sinking ship comment was really unnecessary.
52. nokia12 (Posts: 346; Member since: 19 Nov 2013)
even their head also known as Camera Guru - Damian Deming left the company after 808..
point is no true "Nokian" likes Microsoft at all and hence they are leaving..
there are many more unannounced resignations soon to be followed..
Microsoft and eflop killed Nokia..
6. akki20892 (Posts: 3650; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
Nokia sold device business so they gone. I hope all nokia's engineers join nokia again whenever Nokia start new and fresh mobile business.
Waiting to see what suri will do after 2 yrs.
Waiting for Nokia back in mobile and make N-series N10 powered by Android.
9. akki20892 (Posts: 3650; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
And nokia don't have to worry, because there r many smart people still there in finland.
16. Ashoaib (Posts: 2423; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
Good point
50. corporateJP (Posts: 1820; Member since: 28 Nov 2009)
And, it starts.
I said some time ago, much of that Nokia talent won't be working for Microsoft for long, if at all.
53. nokia12 (Posts: 346; Member since: 19 Nov 2013)
i also said this when their Main "Camera Guru" Damian Daming left Nokia..
Microsoft Mobile is now just another mobile manufacturing company .. there is nothing great about them .. anyone who thinks they will get the same Nokia like Innovation is just not thinking straight..
Many have left in these past 3 years many more will leave once the transfer of employees is complete or until they get better jobs
23. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 554; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Why Android? Nokia still can beat Samsung and Apple with Symbian or Meego, considering that both OS are far more mature than WP.
26. papss (unregistered)
Lol you mean Apple's app store is more mature? Nothing about ios is all that mature other than the apps
29. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 554; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
I didn't mention Apple's App Store, the point of my comment is Nokia will have a better chance against Samsung and Apple if they stay with Symbian or Meego because Symbian and Meego are far more mature OS than WP.
31. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2058; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
"Symbian and Meego are far more mature OS than WP"
Are you ok dude? Symbian was laggy and outdated looking. Meego was buggy and DOA. WP on the other hand is smooth, modern looking and has ton more features and apps than those two platforms COMBINED. WP might not be as feature rich as Android, but it works right and is a trillion times better than Symbian, Meego or any other OS Nokia used in the past.
33. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 554; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Symbian and Meego will be a better OS than WP if only Eflop didn't sabotage their developments.
35. The13thKing (banned) (Posts: 849; Member since: 26 Feb 2014)
so now they're sabotaged, the best for nokia is to go with android, why spend hundred of millions on developers and dead projects while they can just get a ready superb and always fresh OS in android. Just like Samsung did and ate the world in 2 years.
37. akki20892 (Posts: 3650; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
agree with that....go with Android is perfect and profitable choice.
39. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2058; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
Nokia is not Samsung. They don't bank on the success of others for their own success. They don't copy fruit companies. Nokia create their own success. Although they were bought out by MS, one can only see this as a great thing since now they're free to create even more awesome hardware and camera technology thanks to the big pockets of Microsoft and with WP8.1, they've supposedly caught up with Android & iOS in terms of features. I'm looking forward to the great combo of MS money & software plus Nokia hardware and camera.

lol man .. and look where nokia is now and look at samsung, I don't want to start a fanboy war ,, but this makes you wonder which company made the right decision and which didn't. Samsung relied on Google and created their success using android, advertisements and reliable hardware, and also used the Nokia strategy of covering up every segment in the market. we all know Nokia should have done that instead of Samsung. They have a new chance 2 years from now though and hope they'll take it this time

This pretty much kills any argument any one has about Nokia not doing Android...if anything they should have done Android before Samsung....

Symbian do have more features, I used N8 and I know what is differences between wp and symbian.

Technically Symbian had/has more features (I still miss USB OTG, for instance), and both in their raw form are natively the most capable mass-market mobile OSes yet made, but didn't have the identity, momentum, financial support, or developer support (more applicable to MeeGo than Symbian) needed to remain competitive. And don't blame Elop, he's the public face, voice, and figurehead of the Board of Directors, doing what they directed, otherwise they would have sacked him.

WP is closer with features vs Meego and Symbian....finally....after the 8.1 update.
Smooth and modern doesnt make up for the lack of features from Win Mo and other platforms mentioned.

You mean how Cisco ditched Symbian? How no one wanted to license it because of all the issues from tools to the OS it was having?
Meego? How is that going...Nokia tried to get other companies to buy it as well. Couldnt. At least not to major players. There is a reason they ditched it.
Feature rich? Sure but again, that doesnt define a smart phone. If you blame elop then you seriously are lacking in the history of both symbian and meego's trials/errors/issues that were there before ELOP ever stepped in.

That WP platform is a joke and sucks with hardly no apps and games

I agree.
Nokia still have Research center, and it has smart engineers.

Pure view is as good as retina trademark using Samsung, LG and Sharp LCD screen.

Everyone can use it by purchasing a nokia handset :p
49. jroc74 (Posts: 5192; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Maybe you mean no can use it freely? Nokia wont license it out to folks?
Or do you mean you dont want anyone else using it?
At the same time...I dont know if Google bought or licensed any Palm patents...but there are some things from WebOS in Android now after they hired a former WebOS guru.

Nokia "Sinking ship" hell yes ! Wp R.I.P., my 808 still rock during running ! With my Note 3 for the rest. Good move Apple ! Just change the name of Pure View and take it to Apple and sue the rest of the world.

It's not only the name, they can't use Nokia's image algorithms....if u know what I mean.
