Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Dead ducks replace dead pigs floating in Chinese river
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
March 26th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A thousand dead ducks have been found floating in a Chinese river, shortly after the bodies of more than 16,000 pigs was pulled out of Shanghai's main waterway. This most unappetizing discovery has increased concern over the safety of the China's drinking water. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The bird carcasses were fished out of the Nanhe River in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan. Authorities say they were found in over 50 woven bags. The bodies were so badly decomposed it was not possible to tell how they died.In regards to the earlier incident, Shanghai environmental workers say that almost all of the dead pigs had been removed from the Huangpu River, which supplies 22 percent of the city's drinking water. Officials now say that 98 pigs were recovered on Sunday and 93 on Saturday, the first time the daily toll had fallen below a hundred in days. The dead pigs proved to be a major embarrassment to the city, which is seeking to grow as an international financial center. Samples have tested positive for porcine circovirus, a common swine disease that does not affect humans. It's not yet known what killed the ducks. Liang Weidong, a deputy director in Pengshan's publicity departments says that their bodies were disinfected and buried in plastic bags three meters underground. Authorities were first made aware of the ducks a week ago but insisted the dead birds had been handled safely and posed no danger to residents or livestock, Weidong says. An initial investigation suggested they originated from upstream and were not dumped by local farmers. The Nanhe River is not a source of drinking water. Mystery surrounds over what is presumably an act of protest by some disgruntled party. "Dead pigs, dead ducks... this soup is getting thicker and thicker," wrote one person with the username Baby Luck on weibo, China's version of Twitter. "The dead pigs haven't even disappeared yet, and now the dead ducks emerge - does this society enjoy being competitive?" wrote one. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)TUESDAY HOMILY: The Second First Thing
By Fr Dwight Longenecker
December 11th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Light is one of the "first things" on which all other things depend. The first week of Advent we considered God--the first of the "First Things". The second "First Thing" to consider for this second week of Advent is Light.
GREENVILLE, SC (Catholic Online) You may have heard of the Christian college student who had to attend the class of an aggressively atheistic professor. The professor attacked the idea of God because he said an all good and all powerful God should be able to obliterate evil. If he was good he would want to get rid of evil, and if he was all powerful he would be able to, and since he did not he could not be either all good or all powerful.
The believer asked the professor which was more powerful--light or darkness. The professor explained that it was a nonsensical question since there was really no such thing as darkness. Instead darkness, although it felt real, was really only the absence of light. Likewise, cold was simply the absence of heat. The believer said that it was similarly nonsensical to suggest that God's goodness and Evil were opposites. Instead evil was either the absence of goodness or goodness distorted and deformed in some way. Light is therefore one of the "first things" on which all other things depend. The first week of Advent we considered God--the first of the "First Things". The second "First Thing" to consider for this second week of Advent is Light. The first thing God created was Light. Critics of the Catholic faith like to scoff and say, "Look at that silly creation story! God created light on the first day, but he didn't create the sun, moon and stars until the fourth day! How dumb is that?" Not dumb. Pretty smart. Those who told the creation stories were not writing a scientific treatise. They were more concerned with the meaning of God's act of creation than recording a historical or scientific account of the beginning of the world. God created Light first because light itself is greater than the sun, moon and stars which create or reflect the light. That is to say, light exists beyond the physical sources of light. This truth is reflected in the final book of the Bible--Revelation. There we have a vision of heaven where we are told that there is neither sun, nor moon for the Lamb--Christ himself is the Light. Jesus understands his own destiny and identity when he says, "I am the Light of the World." The church teaches that God the Son--the second person of the Holy Trinity--was present at the foundation of the world. The world was created not just by God the Father, but by the Son and by the Holy Spirit. This is why, in that opening passage of the Book of Genesis it says that God created the heavens and earth and the Spirit was moving over the face of the waters and God said, "Let there be Light." The creative Word of God brings Light into the world, and later John the Evangelist says, "The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory--or "his radiance." Advent is a particular celebration of Light. We light the Advent candles and we welcome the coming of the Light of Christ into the world on Christmas night. The theme of darkness overcoming the light is echoed in the Easter liturgy, when the Pascal candle is brought into the darkened church, and then when we are baptized we receive that same light. The light of Christ, which radiates throughout our life and our liturgy is the same light that was at the beginning--the Light of the World and the light of the heavenly kingdom--Christ Jesus the Lord. ----- Fr Dwight Longenecker is the parish priest of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina.

CFOs stick to the knitting for 2012
PUBLISHED: 19 Jan 2012 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 08 Feb 2012 21:10:11PRINT EDITION: 12 Jan 2012Shaun DRUMMOND
Reducing costs and improving productivity are the two top priorities for respondents to the annual CFO Outlook Survey, followed by organic growth.
But the challenges are not limited to those three areas, with other priorities close behind.
Out of all priorities, cost reduction accounted for 15 per cent of respondent's choices, productivity improvements 13 per cent and organic growth 12 per cent.
Close behind are improving cash flow, attracting and retaining the best staff and leadership and coaching.
The lowest priority is inorganic growth, which usually means M&A. When asked specifically about growth, just 15 per cent said it would primarily be via acquisitions.
"Orders, orders, orders," remarked one respondent. "Our first quarter for orders received throughout our group was the worst on record."
Another said that in an "era of no price increases from retail customers, we need to look to cost reduction and efficiency gains for profitability".
Others, however, said while organic growth is the priority, they have an "opportunistic eye on acquisitions", reflecting widespread views from other surveys that valuations of many companies are too low.
When asked what the chief sources of earnings growth will be, more than 40 per cent of respondents said it will come from "existing markets and customers". The next most cited – on 23 per cent – was "improvements in productivity".
One respondent said that targeting new markets offshore was "critical to our long-term growth objectives". Another said his company was pulling out of overseas operations: "We are selling out of overseas exposures and reinvesting in Australia where we see fundamentals in the long term being more stable."
The biggest concerns for CFOs is cash flow and sales, followed closely by the impact of the EU and US economies locally and attracting and retaining good staff and management.
More results from the CFO Outlook Survey will be in the next edition of CFO, out on February 10.

Translate this page Convicted Felon Steals Police CarTuesday, February 11th, 2014 Issue 07, Volume 18.
Officers were called to a store in the 1100 block of South Sanderson Avenue at 10:13 am., police said. The victim provided a description of the suspect and told the police dispatcher the man had left his identification at the scene. Police located the man, identified as David Hayes, 28, of Hemet, who was on parole for assault with a deadly weapon, in the 2300 block of West Stetson Avenue and tried to detain him, but he fled. A second police officer arrived, and Hayes tried to get away by jumping over fences in a residential neighborhood. The officers lost sight of Hayes and began to coordinate Advertisement The police car was tracked by GPS gong south on State Street, and west on Domenigoni Parkway. Other police agencies were called in to help. Finally the suspect went north on the Interstate 215 and lost control when he got off the freeway at Bradley Street. He struck a curb, which disabled the police car. He fled on foot and was taken into custody a short distance away by officers from the California Highway Patrol and the Hemet Police Department. Hayes faces charges of theft of an emergency vehicle, burglary, resisting arrest, and committing a parole violation. He was held without bail. 1 comments

The Obama campaign also put out a six-minute video about Ampad, highlighting workers who had lost their jobs.
The response from Team Romney and the Republican Party? Press releases – and a video (see below) – that gleefully try to fan the flames of the Democrats' mini-insurrection, focusing not only on Booker's comments but also other Obama allies sticking up for private equity. In addition, the RNC has bought ads on Twitter to publicize Booker's comments.
On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Monday, former Rep. Harold Ford (D) of Tennessee said he would not have backed away from defending Bain if he were Booker.
"The substance of his comments on 'Meet the Press,' I agree with the core of it," said Mr. Ford. "I would not have backed them out.… Private equity's not a bad thing. As a matter of fact, private equity is a good thing in many, many instances."
On TV last week, former Obama administration "car czar" Steve Rattner also stuck up for Bain and the world of venture capitalism, earning him regular space on Romney campaign missives.

5 Big Trades to Profit as S&P Tests Record Highs
United Rentals
Last up is United Rentals (URI - Get Report), a stock that's showing traders the exact same ascending triangle setup as the one in PNR. URI's horizontal resistance level at $56 is the price barrier that needs to get broken before we have the signal to enter a trade in this stock.
With any technical pattern, it's critical to think in terms of buyers and sellers -- not shapes. After all, triangles, head and shoulders patterns and the like are a good way of describing what's happening on a chart, but they're not the reason why it's tradable. Instead, that all comes down to the supply and demand caused by those buyers and sellers.
The horizontal resistance level at $56 is a place where a glut of sellers has been willing to step in and put a ceiling in the stock. A breakout means that increasingly eager buyers have absorbed all of the excess supply for shares sitting at that level -- and without that barrier in place, shares have room to rally to the upside. That's why it makes sense to wait for the breakout before buying this stock.

At the 2015 International CES, Toyota hopes to usher in the age of hydrogen fuel cell cars by giving other companies royalty-free access to 5,680 patents.
Brian Cooley takes a drive in Toyota's Mirai hydrogen fuel cell car and explains why the company is putting its faith in the technology.
Turning hydrogen into juice for your phone is as eco-friendly as it gets, but our pictures show the big problem with the Upp fuel cell charger.
Toyota isn't exactly pricing its first hydrogen fuel cell vehicle to move. But it does appear to be price competitive with the Tesla Model S.
We'd love to recommend this innovative technology, but at this early stage the Upp fuel cell charger is just too cumbersome and too expensive.
Pricing not available
At CES 2015, Toyota announced it would make 5,680 patents related to fuel cell drive systems available as a means to help other automakers build fuel cell cars.
At CES in Las Vegas, Toyota's Bob Carter shows a company mockup of its foray into hydrogen-based cars and discusses the challenges, getting the price down, and creating a viable refeuling infrastructure.
Audi showed off a new development vehicle at the Los Angeles Auto Show, a fuel cell-battery hybrid car called the A7 h-tron.
Toyota announced the production version of its Mirai fuel-cell car today, ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show, adding momentum to previously slow fuel-cell car development.
Environmental organization EMA sponsors a contest to win Toyota's first production fuel-cell vehicle, at $100 per entry.

Posts tagged Wedding Crashers
style envy: Rachel McAdams
With The Vow coming out this Friday, we're excited for the chance to revisit a super-talented (and stylish) actress: Rachel McAdams. We've been fans of McAdams since she sauntered down the halls of North Shore High School as leader of the Plastics, then turned around and won our hearts as one-half of a star-crossed couple in the Notebook. Since then, she's proven time and again that she can play the bad girl, the young ingénue, a fearless heroine, and everything in between.
Regardless of the character she's playing, McAdams' red-carpet style is always enviable. This girl is a fan of sleek glamour, but she's also not afraid to take a little risk, whether it's with her hair color (remember those pink streaks?) or a daring silhouette. We've chosen some of our favorite McAdams' looks, from both on the screen and off.
For her break-out role as the despicable Regina George, McAdams rocked an array of miniskirts and a spectrum of pink.
As heiress Allie in the classic tear-jerker The Notebook, she got to sport the best of forties' and fifties' fashion: gorgeous suits and dresses, and some fabulous hats.
Although Midnight in Paris's Inez plays the cynical foil to the charmingly naïve Gil, we have to admit that her clothes are great. As we've gushed about before, we loved the effortless, Euro-chic wardrobe.
[Photo credits: IMDB]
And now, the red-carpet highlights, from pink hair at a Wedding Crashers premiere (has anyone else made neon highlights look so adorable?) to a sequined bustier and linen pants on the red carpet this year.

Attorneys for other outlets raised additional concerns. Both David McCraw, assistant general counsel for The New York Times, and Jason Conti, associate general counsel for Dow Jones, mentioned an ongoing effort to gain routine access to motion papers and other court documents as the commission's proceedings are underway. Public access to the docket is taken for granted in civilian courts, but not in courts-martial, said McCraw—and, so far, military practice has prevailed at Gitmo. They and other news organizations have pressed this case before, but it hasn't been resolved.
The records issue points to the common thread in all these disputes: a struggle over
whether the logic of civilian courts, in which there's a presumption toward access and a right to appeal, or military environments, in which local commanders wield authority, should prevail at Guantanamo.
"What we have is two different world views," Schulz said Tuesday. "The military is used to having complete and total control of what happens on military bases." That's an expectation that's fostered by the physical circumstances at Guantanamo—reporters depend on the Defense Department for transportation to and from the base—but that is inconsistent with the statutory and constitutional guarantees of a free press at the commissions.
That's why, in addition to resolving specific issues, the news organizations are hoping to establish due process provisions for future disputes, such as a requirement for factual findings by a military judge before any action—like disciplining a reporter, or trashing photos—is taken. (After the four reporters were barred, many press observers noted that it was the Pentagon's public affairs shop—not the presiding military judge—that imposed the ban; the appeals went to higher-ranking public-affairs officials.)
Given the history of unresolved complaints, you might think there's little reason to expect change. But the lawyers, at least, are hopeful that by presenting a united front, and by taking their grievances to the Pentagon's attorneys rather than the brass, they'll do well this time around. "We're optimistic that the lawyers at the Department of Defense understand our concerns," Schulz said. Come August, we should know whether that optimism was well-placed.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)China deals major financial blow to Kim Jong Un
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
May 7th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The Bank of China has stopped doing business with the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea, in a move that signals the displeasure of the Chinese state over North Korea's recent antics. The North Korean bank has been accused by the U.S. of financing North Korea's missile programs. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The state-run Bank of China has informed the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea that it has suspended all transactions and all accounts were being closed.China is expressing its disapproval with North Korea's new young leader, Kim Jong Un, and his belligerent posturing on the peninsula. North Korea's antics invite U.S. and foreign attention in the region, attention China would rather not contend with. In addition, China has signaled an increased willingness to work with Washington to correct North Korean behavior. A conflict, even if limited, would profit nobody. China is essential to North Korea, providing most of the resources the country needs just to survive. Without Chinese imports, North Korea would quickly run out of fuel and food. China also buys most of North Korea's exports. The international community has done much to exert pressure on North Korea to discourage the reclusive state from pursuing a nuclear and missile program. North Korea says it will use its nuclear weapons against any aggression and has made several recent threats, particularly against South Korea. However, tensions have quickly cooled since the end of joint U.S. and South Korean exercises last week. Pyongyang has already withdrawn two of its missiles from firing positions on the coast and it is believed that many soldiers have been sent to help farmers plant crops for the growing season. North Korea remains a backwards state, decades behind other countries of the world in many respects. Electricity is intermittent and food and fuel are often scarce commodities. The people are brutally repressed and are compelled to participate in public events, which amounts to worship of Kim Jong Un and his father and grandfather. China's decision to suspend financial transactions with the North via its bank is a major victory for the west and a setback for Kim Jong Un. It is hoped that Chinese pressure can convince Kim Jong Un to pursue a new policy of openness and reform, rather than of oppression and belligerence.

This was also around the time that Halo 2 came out, and Breaking Benjamin had a song in it, and high school sophomore me thought Breaking Benjamin was edgy and cool, so clearly I needed to play Halo 2.
Turns out, I'm completely an utterly worthless at games like Halo. I did find out that the Halo series has a freakin' sweet back story in novelization form. Nerdy, I know. But the books, if you don't mind dry scifi, are even better than the games. (Well, Halo 1 and 2, at least.) Reading the second book, The Flood, is literally a play-by-play of the first Halo game. I somehow managed to play Halo 2 and read The Flood before playing Halo 1, so playing the game was a little surreal when I could predict the exact objective and somewhat know what enemies would be in each level.
Unfortunately, due to being at college and unable to play awesome games on my brother's Xbox 360, I never played Halo 3. Instead, I read the Wiki article on it and found out that everyone you love dies. Awesome.
So then, in a feat of brilliance, Bungie decided to make a prequel game about the planet Reach, where everyone also dies. Sweet move, Bungie. So I had little motivation to play this game, too, knowing that it was only going to end in tragedy. But one of my friends bought it and said we should play.
So much better than Halo 2, which may not be saying anything since I have no idea how good Halo 3 was. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the squad-based gameplay and frequent cut scenes. Also, I could drive a Warthog around all day.
In short, I know way more about Halo than a casual gamer should, and I also would like to admit to the Internet that I spent most of French I and American History in high school reading the Halo books. And I still scored excellently in both classes.

I just downloaded League Of Legends about 7 hours ago to be exact. I was doing the tutorial and then did somekind of practice battle I think it was with all the bots and everything. I didn't realize how long a game takes and it was Midnight and I had to get some sleep. So when I clicked "Exit Game" it told me I would be suspended for a short amount of time if I kept quitting before it was over or something. I thought well, it's just a practice game so I should be fine. I don't know if it's just something I'm not understanding or is it something I did to make it Unavailable. I tried looking for an explaination on the forums but couldn't find one. So I attemped to play other regions and it wouldn't accept my Log in ID's. If anyone gets anytime to let me know how long this will last please let me know. Regards - Jake(Nightfall12)
Its a patch.
It's a scheduled downtime. (after this there'll be a big time patching as they added much stuffs and a new champion) and I don't think leaving tutorial will get you suspended though. repeated leaves in PvP matches will.
Senior Member
your fine, just got caught up at the wrong time, so no worries, your 100% okay! interesting fact, World of Warcraft is down at the exact same time for the exact same amount of time... Which is why I'm posting on forums now XD
You can leave custom games and tutorial games without auto-detection busting you, so you are ok. Welcome to LoL and most of all have fun.
Emissary of the League
If you look at the top of the forums, there's a big red bar that shows up on every forum. This is where you'll often find information about what's going on.
i'm sorry
Love Emma Watson
Yeah you got unlucky and downloaded the game right before a big patch! It should be over in a few hours, so make sure to check out the new updates!
half 6 pm here and its still not working
its 11:30 and North america is still unavailable

Yongbyon restart: North Korea's new threat
Posted: 02/04/2013 Filed under: Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation, Transnational threats and political risk | Tags: enrichment, North Korea, nuclear reactor, putonium, Pyongyang, restart, uranium, Yongbyon Leave a commentBy Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
Among Pyongyang's recent inflated threats, the announced intention to 'readjust and restart' its nuclear facilities is the most worrisome.
If implemented, North Korea will be producing both kinds of fissile material that can create nuclear explosions: plutonium and highly enriched uranium.
The handful of nuclear weapons – from four to 10 – that North Korea presumably already possesses are based on plutonium that was produced at the small 5MW reactor at Yongbyon prior to mid-2007.
Whether it also has uranium weapons is unknown.
Why North Korea abandoned the plutonium programme and instead prioritised uranium enrichment has been a mystery.
Uncertain chemical-weapons claims in Syria
Posted: 21/03/2013 Filed under: Dina Esfandiary, Gulf and Middle East Security, Non-Proliferation | Tags: Bashar al-Assad, Chemical Weapons, civil war, mustard gas, Sarin, Syria, Syrian rebels, US Leave a commentDina Esfandiary, Research Associate and Project Coordinator of the IISS Non-proliferation and Disarmament Programme, has an article in The Diplomat analysing recent claims of chemical-weapons use in Syria.
Syria's state news agency, SANA, made the first allegations on Tuesday when it broadcast pictures of alleged chemical-weapons victims having difficulty breathing and foaming at the mouth, in what it reported was the result of a 'terrorist' rocket attack near Aleppo. The Russian Foreign Ministry then released a statement confirming the opposition's use of chemical weapons, but presented no evidence to support this claim. An opposition commander also said he had heard secondhand reports that victims were having respiratory problems in response to a chemical attack, but he said the regime was responsible.
What we actually know is patchy, says Esfandiary. Despite 'proof' from both sides in the form of photos and videos, there is nothing that shows the attack site, and no indication that any of the victims' symptoms match those that would result from exposure to mustard gas, Sarin or VX – Syria's alleged chemical-weapons arsenal – which would have more devastating effects than those reported.
If the use of chemical weapons is confirmed, it could change the character of the conflict because the US and the international community would be pressured to intervene, explains Esfandiary. The US and Europe are therefore rightly proceeding with caution. 'But if anything, this event reiterates how little is known about the situation on the ground in Syria,' Esfandiary argues. When the West can be sure of so little, perhaps the real debate should be whether or not it should be arming the rebels.

The debate about Trident
Posted: 20/03/2013 Filed under: Alexa van Sickle, Europe, Non-Proliferation | Tags: debate, disarmament, foreign policy, NPT, nuclear deterrent, Trident nuclear weapons system, Trident replacement Leave a comment
By Alexa van Sickle, Assistant editor
It was, several older colleagues told me, one of the most thought-provoking discussions they had heard at the institute. With Britain's ageing Trident nuclear deterrent in the news again – as defence cuts bite and a divided coalition government reviews the options for a replacement system – four of the United Kingdom's most respected former civil servants came to Arundel House last week and delivered a one-and-half-hour masterclass in nuclear policy.
Nuclear escalation in South Asia
Posted: 12/03/2013 Filed under: Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation, South Asia | Tags: Cold Start doctrine, deterrence, fissile material, India, nuclear posture, Pakistan, tactical nuclear weapons Leave a commentBy Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
During visits to New Delhi and Islamabad last week, I was disheartened by some of the discussions I had on nuclear doctrine. In both capitals, a dominant theme was the perceived need to restore credible deterrence, with seemingly little consideration for the implications of sparking a nuclear war.
In New Delhi, leading members of the strategic community insisted that the restraint India had shown after terrorist attacks in 2001 and 2008 linked to Pakistani officialdom only encouraged further attacks. They argued that when Pakistan-based terrorists struck again – and without doubt the question was when, not if – India would have to respond forcefully 'to teach them a lesson'.
In Islamabad, 'plugging the deterrence gap' was the reason given for Pakistan's recent pursuit of battlefield nuclear weapons. India's presumed 'Cold Start' doctrine (or 'proactive strategy' as it is now called) posits rapid mobilisation and limited incursions across the border into Pakistan. In Islamabad this was considered to be a fully resourced plan and a cunning way to attempt aggression without triggering a strategic nuclear response.
Can China end the DPRK's nuclear blackmail?
Posted: 19/02/2013 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Non-Proliferation, William Choong | Tags: China, condemnation, North Korea, nuclear programme, sanctions Leave a commentBy Dr William Choong, Shangri-La Dialogue Senior Fellow for Asia-Pacific Security
Members of the United Nations Security Council, including China, have strongly condemned North Korea's nuclear test last week, and that rare unanimity could be useful for regional security. If China were to put pressure on North Korea (an historic development that looks possible) while the United Nations Security Council tightened the vice of sanctions, perhaps Pyongyang could be pressured to at least suspend further tests?
This, however, is probably not to be. North Korea has maintained its missile and nuclear programmes as a going concern for years, despite a growing raft of sanctions. In addition, sanctions have done little to change the decision-making of other worrisome countries such as Iran.
US must overhaul North Korea policy: expert
Posted: 14/02/2013 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Nathan Beauchamp-Mustafaga, Non-Proliferation, US | Tags: Leap Day deal, North Korea, nuclear programme, nuclear test, rocket launch, US foreign policy, Yemen Leave a commentBy Nathan Beauchamp-Mustafaga, Research Assistant for Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
The United States needs to push North Korea straight to the top of its policy agenda, says academic Joel Wit (above), saying that Pyongyang might already possess 25 nuclear weapons and may have deployed a prototype road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
Speaking at the IISS several days before Pyongyang carried out its third nuclear test on 12 February, the former State Department official and Visiting Scholar at the US–Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) said he thought the passive policy of 'strategic patience' during the Obama administration's first four years had failed.
As the administration entered its second term, he suggested, the White House should take a more proactive approach to North Korea – especially given President Barack Obama's recommitment to Asia and his outspoken advocacy on nuclear issues.
North Korea's third nuclear test shows military still first
Posted: 12/02/2013 Filed under: Asia Pacific, Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation | Tags: military first, miniaturised nuclear device, Nodong missiles, North Korea, songun, third nuclear test, uranium 5 CommentsBy Mark Fitzpatrick, Director, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme
North Korea has again shown with today's nuclear test that it marches to its own drum – and a decidedly militaristic drumbeat it is. The sole country to have pulled out of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and indeed, probably the only one to have signed the treaty with the clear intention of violating it, North Korea has been alone in the past 15 years in defying the international norm against nuclear testing.
Defiance might be called the national trait, and North Koreans may be proud to be described that way. In conducting its third nuclear test, Pyongyang not only defied warnings from Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, but also the cautions of its friends in Beijing and Moscow. In recent weeks, selective Chinese state media had been unusually blunt in threatening consequences if North Korea went ahead with its planned test. Now it is likely that China will allow additional Security Council sanctions. It may even apply selective sanctions of its own, as it reportedly did in 2003 in disrupting the flow of oil during the first North Korean nuclear crisis.
The test shows yet again North Korea's priority for guns over butter, and that its policy of 'Songun' ('military first') is much more than a mere slogan. In addition to risking a cut-off of Chinese aid and oil, Pyongyang has also made it difficult for South Korean president-elect Park Geun-hye to follow through on her election promise to resume humanitarian aid to the North.
Likewise, the new team that US President Barack Obama is assembling for his second term will be disinclined to pursue any new engagement policies with North Korea. Instead, new sanctions will be applied, especially to try to prevent North Korea from helping nuclear-weapons aspirations elsewhere.

Bucs trade Kellen Winslow, sign TE
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded tight end Kellen Winslow to the Seattle Seahawks for a draft pick on Monday night and signed former Colts star Dallas Clark to replace him.
Earlier in the day, Winslow told SiriusXM radio that first-year coach Greg Schiano was "kind of upset" that Winslow has not been working out with the team during the offseason.
"That's kind of shocking, but that's what it is," Winslow said, adding that Schiano told him the coach "would help me out with a trade."
Two Transactions, Two Perspectives
Tampa Bay is starting over under a new coaching staff, and now Kellen Winslow is starting over, too. He is an upgrade at tight end for Seattle, ESPN.com's Mike Sando writes. Blog
Signing Dallas Clark, even though he might be on the downside of his career, appears a better fit than Kellen Winslow in coach Greg Schiano's system, writes ESPN.com's Pat Yasinskas. Blog
Winslow has been one of Tampa Bay's best offensive players since being acquired from Cleveland in a trade three years ago. He had 77 receptions for 884 yards and five touchdowns in 2009, 66 catches for 730 yards and five TDs in 2010 and 75 receptions for 763 yards and two TDs in 2011.
Tampa Bay received a conditional 2013 draft pick in the deal, which a source told ESPN.com's Mike Sando is a seventh-rounder that can elevate to sixth-round choice.
Winslow will join a tight end unit that already includes Zach Miller, who Seattle gave a big contract last offseason, and promising young prospect Cameron Morrah, who has struggled with injuries early in his career. The Seahawks lost tight end John Carlson in the offseason after he signed with Minnesota.
Tampa Bay gets a player who was one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets.
Clark, who turns 33 next month, spent nine seasons with Indianapolis and had 427 career receptions for 4,887 yards and 46 touchdowns. Last season, without Manning and limited by injuries to 11 games, Clark had 34 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns. He worked out for the Bucs last week.
"Dallas Clark is a consummate pro and proven playmaker," Tampa Bay general manager Mark Dominik said. "He will be another asset, on and off the field, for our team. In addition to Luke Stocker's continued improvement in his ability as an every-down tight end, we feel we have both talent and depth at the tight end position."
Winslow, despite a history of injuries and undergoing several knee surgeries during his career, appeared in every game over the past three seasons for Tampa Bay.
The 28-year-old was the sixth overall pick in the 2004 draft by the Browns, who sent him to Tampa Bay in exchange for second- and fifth-round draft choices. Winslow has 437 career receptions for 4,836 yards and 23 touchdowns.
Winslow said he has been working out near his home in San Diego and missed last week's initial set of organized team activities in Tampa. He said he was planning to join the team on Monday, but that he got a call from Schiano on Saturday.
"He was kind of upset that I wasn't there working out with the team in the offseason and for the first week of OTAs," Winslow said during the interview with SiriusXM.
"But I've been there the last three years and I've had a successful career so far," he added. "You don't just get rid of one of your best players because of that. ... I don't have nothing bad to say about coach Schiano. It was just a disagreement on why I'm not there yet."

It also provides a better balanced bike and the briefcase can be locked in place, claims Peugeot. The design breakthrough here is that the positioning of the carrying case is such that it keeps the centre of gravity of the bike roughly in the same spot where it is when rode without a bag, therefore making it stable.more → Posted in: Uncategorized Tagged with: bicycle, centre of gravity, concept bicycle, DL122, laptop case, laptop compartment, peugeot, tour de france, urban bicycle

The week in After Effects
Product discussion + Adobe Anywhere, KinectToPin, 3D camera tracker, Auto-Save, Particle Playground galaxies, one matte for multiple layers, and more
By Rich Young | September 05, 2012
Here's the latest week or so of assorted After Effects tutorials, tips, and scripts & plug-ins new and old.
Nick Fox-Gieg and Victoria Nece released a brand new version of KinectToPin, an After Effects UI Panel for Microsoft Kinect data with automatic 2D and 3D comp creation, direct import of tracking data XML and auto rigging tools. There's also new training, for example, Using the new KinectToPin.
In the latest episode of That Post Show, After Effects product manager Steve Forde "teases us with an unannounced Adobe products, talks After Effects, Adobe, products, editing, finishing and clarifies that After Effects is in fact a '64-bit' application." Collaborative editing, which was previewed at NAB 2012, is one project that seems likely to be announced at IBC. Here's a possible piece of the puzzle, Reaping the Benefits of Collaborative Editing below. [Update: a new product was announced, Adobe Anywhere also embedded below.]:
Video Copilot has another tutorial, 132. Alien Surface, that creates a set extension using a matte painting, AE's 3D tracker and Roto Brush, and adds rocks with Element 3D. Several tutorials on the 3D camera tracker were mentioned not long ago in After Effects News Roundup; see especially Studying 3D Camera Tracker by Jerzy Drozda Jr (aka maltaannon). Mentioned last week by Todd Kopriva is After Effects CS6 Tutorial: Exporting 3D Camera Tracker Data to Cinema 4D, by Chris and Trish Meyer, on how to export the results of the new 3D Camera Tracker to any application that has a way to accept AE keyframe data:
Set Matte: a 32-bpc node for After Effects rounds up resources on this built-in AE plug-in that lets you use one matte for multiple layers. Many people don't seem to know that Set Matte exists, maybe because it officially exists only to provide compatibility with earlier projects. That seems to have changed since Set Matte was upgraded to support 32-bpc color depth in After Effects CS6.
Alpha channels, track mattes, and channel effects like Set Matte, Calculations, and Shift Channels are explained in depth in the two main AE resources: Creating Motion Graphics for After Effects by Chris and Trish Meyer and the newly released Adobe After Effects CS6 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques by Mark Christiansen. Be sure to check out the pretty new PDF excerpt from the Mark Christiansen book, Chapter 4 Optimize Projects (under sample content).
In Episode 85: Superpowers - Single Bound, "Seth Worley shows you how to create the effect of someone jumping really high. Like Superman high."
Product Review: Red Giant Trapcode Mir by Jeff Foster at PVC looks at the recent plug-in for fractal 3D motion design in OpenGL. Also, Toby Pitman posted After Effects Essentials: Trapcode Form, a well-illustrated introduction on Mac Pro Video.
Create and animate 3D cogs in After Effects in 2 parts by Chris Zwar is an updated form of an old tutorial, now in video.
MoChat 9 Transcript & Summary looked at "everything AE scripts. A lot people use scripts, and had many to share. Some of the most popular included BG Renderer, ft_Toolbar, Ease & Wizz, and pt_OpenSesame. I've included links to every script mentioned-as well as other resources-along with links to the tweets that mentioned them." See also the AEP roundup Using and creating After Effects scripts.
Clay Asbury has 2 blogs on AE tips: 5 After Effects Tips & Tricks for Video Editors and 7 tips for working in After Effects.
Activating the Auto-Save preference is one of the memes of the week. AE Help says:
"To automatically save copies of projects at regular intervals, choose Edit > Preferences > Auto-Save (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > Auto-Save (Mac OS), and select Automatically Save Projects.
Auto-saved files are saved in the After Effects Auto-Savefolder, which is located in the same folder as the original project file. Auto-saved filenames are based on the project name: After Effects adds "auto-save n" (where n is the number of the file in the auto-save series) to the end of the filename. Maximum Project Versions specifies how many versions of each project file you want to save. When the number of versions saved reaches the maximum you specify, the Auto-Save feature overwrites them starting with the oldest file."
Among related scripts is the recent qp Version Snapshot by Christian Lett, which extends auto-save somewhat:

"She is a new personality when it comes to the Middle East and she holds a position that has traditionally been considered problematic for Israel, and still she remarkably managed to turn the liabilities around," said an administration official on Rice's work relating to Israel.
With liabilities turned around, Rice enjoyed a warm embrace from the Jewish community. She received the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish American Organizations National Service Award, met with leaders of the [American Jewish Committee](http://usun.state.gov/briefing/statements/182371.htm and even travelled to Florida to speak at a Boca Raton synagogue.
"She has been willing to take difficult positions on Israel time and again and when Jewish leaders see that it builds a relationship of trust," Schonfeld said.
Not all in the community, however, were convinced. Rice's strong words against Israel's settlement activity, in which she made clear that the United States "rejects in the strongest terms the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity" and views them as threatening the prospects for peace in the region, were seen by critics as unnecessarily harsh. Administration officials noted, in response, that Rice's language reflected the policies of the Obama administration and of previous presidents as well.
Rice also came under fire for leading America's rejoining the U.N. Human Rights Commission, a body boycotted by the Bush administration in part due to its strong anti-Israel spirit. Rice, backed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama, expressed her wish to reform the council and to refocus its work on human rights abuses around the world. Supporters point to the commission's resolutions regarding the civil war in Syria as a sign of positive change. But critics state that much of the commission's work is still focused on bashing Israel.
"This is a point of disagreement. I believe she is still wrong," said Foxman, while adding that Rice's motivation for joining the Commission was not to criticize Israel but rather to defend it from within.

text: 4 Really GoodHannah65 | 10/12/2008 | See all Hannah65's reviews (3)The operations in this game are awesome. After the first few operations help you and explain what all the tools and equipment does, you have goals and pretty much have free reign over what tools you use which is great because you have to think and it's actually quite challenging which keeps interest. The operations are also very varied which is good and within each game slot there is the opportunity to perform each operation in easy, normal and hard modes which is good for a bit more of a challenge.However, in my opinion there is too much context and storyline in this game. Although it is nice to have some context of how the people got injured, the amount on this game is excessive so it's a case of pressing select and letting it scroll through it all which is a bit tedious.But the operations more than make up for it and once you've gone through the context on one difficulty level, you can skip straight to the operations.Awesome game. Enough variety to keep attention and be fun. Definitely a great Christmas presents for all ages.

Ferraris Fernando Alonso ended this weeks pre-season test at Jerez as Fridays fastest runner. Alonsos best, a 1m 18.877s set on Pirellis soft tyre in the Italian teams F2012, was seven-tenths of a second quicker than the second-placed Toro Rosso of Jean-Eric Vergne, also on softs.
The Spaniard continued to gather data in the new Ferrari and comparing different configurations. He completed 39 laps to bring the F2012s total mileage to 1195.56 kilometres, while Vergne covered 80 laps in the STR7.
A good second day for me as we worked through everything on our work plan and completed a lot of kilometres, said Vergne. After making some adjustments, I feel more comfortable in the car and I can also get an understanding of the effect of the set-up changes that we tried and they seem to have moved us forward. A positive day, so now Im looking forward to the second test session.
Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel took the third spot on the timesheets, as he set his best time on the medium Pirellis, despite completing only two installation laps in the morning session due to an engine related electrical issue with his RB8. The relevant part was replaced, but concern that the issue may have caused damage to the engine led to a precautionary engine change ahead of the afternoon.
Im happy with the progress weve made, I think we managed to get a lot done, said the world champion. Of course, this morning was a bit of a setback but these things happen. Something like this is simply part of testing, this is the reason why we are here. Of course we would like to get more laps done, but that can't be changed now.
McLarens Lewis Hamilton was fourth fastest after a trouble-free second day in the Woking teams new MP4-27, while Lotuss Romain Grosjean - whose best Thursday time remained the fastest lap of week - finished the day fifth after covering 95 laps in the E20.
Im really enjoying being in the car even though it is hard work, said Grosjean. So far my fitness has been good, my necks not too bad, but well see how it feels tomorrow! I think everyone will benefit from next week away from the circuit so we can reflect on the data then go to Barcelona with some new parts for the car. I cant wait.
Saubers Kamui Kobayashi ended sixth in the Swiss teams C31. After working on set-up, aero comparisons and a tyre evaluation in the morning, a hydraulic leak in the afternoon prompted a two-hour delay. But thanks to some swift work from the teams mechanics he made it back out on track to up his tally for the day to 76 laps.
If I look at the whole picture I am happy with the first test, explained the Japanese driver. For sure we have found the right direction to go in. The car didnt surprise us with any big issues, which allowed us to work on improvements straight away. We lost track time due to small problems and I want to thank the mechanics for all their work. Today especially they did a great job to get me out on track again.
Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg took the VJM05 to seventh as he finally got his first taste of his 2012 challenger. The German had been due on track on Thursday, but an enforced wait for spare parts after tester Jules Bianchis crash kept him out of the cockpit.
A busy first day in the car and good to get so many laps under my belt, said Hulkenberg. It was my first time in the new car so I concentrated on getting comfortable and up to speed. The long runs were useful for that and it also allowed me to start understanding the new tyres. There is still a massive amount to learn and lots of data to look at, but it feels like we have a good baseline to develop from and Im pleased with how the day went.
Williams Bruno Senna and Caterhams Jarno Trulli completed the timesheets in eighth and ninth places. They proved to be the most busiest during the days running, covering 125 laps and 117 laps respectively.
We had a very productive day, with Bruno successfully completing a full race simulation this morning and performance development testing during the afternoon, commented Mark Gillan, Williams chief operations engineer. On the whole this has been a good first test for the FW34 and we have learnt a great deal about the new car. I'd like to thank the whole team for their massive effort this week.
It was Trullis first time in the teams new CT01 - and the first time hed used KERS - so he was pleased with his day. My first impression of the car was that it is good - a definite progression from 2011 and a good basis for us to work on for the season ahead. Its reliability has been demonstrated all week here in Jerez and we have generated a lot of data, particularly on KERS and the 2012 tyres which will help us improve set-ups for the next couple of tests.
We know theres a lot more to come in pure pace - perhaps we were the only team to run without dropping the fuel. I hadnt used KERS before, and despite the extra buttons it means on the wheel, its pretty simple to get used to it quickly and I think well see the benefits of that more and more as we keep learning how to get the most out of it.
With the Jerez test now over, the teams will head back to their factories before reconvening for the second pre-season test at Barcelonas Circuit de Catalunya from February 21-24.

Let this be the day that joy takes the place Of all of the years that shame tried to steal away
Dara Maclean // Wanted
Ahh... young love! You might remember what that feels like to fall in love with someone and feel showered with romantic gestures.
Dara MacLean is sharing the beautiful things her new husband does for her on Facebook.
Today she posted this picture of her looking in the mirror. Her husband had written all these attributes about her on the mirror with arrows pointing to the middle where she was standing.
Instead of waking up in the morning and noticing what's wrong she saw how she is loved. This made me wish every woman, every human being, could wake up to this.
That's the way God looks at you every morning. We wake up and look in the mirror and notice our faults. Tired eyes, grey hairs, past mistakes. But, He sees his artwork. He is our creator, our designer, and His creations are perfect.
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!" -Psalm 139:13-14
If you also believe that His son, Jesus, died for your sins, He sees you as blameless too. The shame is gone!
"He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west." -Psalm 103:12

Five Things to do with Fruitcake (Since You Obviously Won't Eat It)
Fruitcake looks like it has little pieces of poo in it. |
Whomever decided that gifting a "hunk of dense bread with bits of neon fruit in the middle" was a good idea should be shot. God knows even Fido won't eat the Christmas mound so check out five new things you can do with it after the jump.
5. Wrap a bow around it and give it to your bossIn these hard economic times, you want to thank your boss for putting up with you every day. They don't pay you enough, though, so re-gifting something you hate is the perfect present.
4. Wrap it in plastic and use it as a beach pillow
It's just large enough to comfortably support your head as you spend your holiday in the sand. Wrapping it in plastic just ensures that nasty fruit doesn't touch your coifed 'do.
3. Keep one under your pillow for safety
You've heard the phrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well, fruitcake doesn't kill people, it just maims.
2. Use them as building blocks
We're not talking child's play here. Seriously, save up and build a house. Homes are expensive, but not when all the bricks have been gifted to you.
1. Give it to your ex-boyfriend
Make sure to tie a note that says "this is how much you meant to me."

Did I break something (winterization / trimmer)
I have an Echo trimmer, gt225 I believe is the model. I drained the fuel tank and ran it until dry, then added 7ml of 2 stroke oil to the cylinder, as per the instruction manual. It's getting warm again so I decided to pull it out today. I wasn't sure if I should try to drain that oil out of the cylinder or not - the manual doesn't mention this. I decided not to, and fired it up. It started up like normal, with a bit of smoking (no more than normal). I let it warm up and went about trimming stuff. I used new gas at 50:1.
Then I got to a place I needed to tip it on its side to "edge." After I finished that, I noticed a huge plume of bluish smoke coming from the exhaust. This lasted for about 30-40 seconds and then cleared up. A few minutes later I needed to tip it on its side again. Almost immediately it started putting out a huge cloud of smoke. I tipped it back to its normal orientation, but the smoke didn't clear up this time. I shut the trimmer off about a minute later, and it kept on smoking. I set it down on some concrete in case it caught fire (obviously something was on fire somewhere, and some of the exhaust system components were red hot), and after about 3 minutes it stopped smoking.
I figured some of the oil I added during the fall had suddenly found its way into the exhaust system and caught fire. I took the exhaust system apart to check if there were any huge deposits of carbon, but it was remarkably clean. The piston was spotless, as was the exhaust port. The spark screen was clean, as was the muffler. Only the exterior of the exhaust was dirty - it had a sticky oily residue on it, which I cleaned off. I'm thinking this is what caught fire and was smoking, but honestly I am not sure. The spark plug looked the same as before this little incident.
I fired the trimmer back up after cleaning the exhaust, and it seemed to run fine. I didn't run it for long since it was getting dark, but the smoke level was back to normal.
I'm wondering what I did wrong here, and if I've damaged anything. It's not even a year old, so I'd hate to have wrecked it.:(
Oil might have sip pass the piston into the crankcase. When ran in upright position, oil won't come up because it is not vaporized, but if you turn up side down to edge, oil got push into the combussion chamber by the presurized mixture in the crankcase into the cylinder and burn by the combussion. If you want to, try run the engine in the edging position of with the cylinder up side down and let it smoke away until all get burnt away.
I don't think there is anything to worry.
I agree, I doubt you did any harm, however, I personally would not do all that to store it for 4 months. Use Stabil with the best synthetic 2 cycle oil you can get and fill the tank at the end of the season. What you did is for long term storage (like years).
I also agree oil residue left in the crank case. I also agree on no harm done. If you don't want to see the smoke next time remove the crankcase cover and spark plug, spray out with carb. cleaner then pull the rope. The carb. cleaner will wash out any oil in the cylinder and crank case and the excess will be blown out the spark plug hole, roll it over so any liquid can run out the crankcase. install the crank case cover and it should fire on the first or second pull being it's been primed with the carb. cleaner.
Some will spout you will wash all the oil off the bearings and cylinder walls. do it all the time and have done it for 40 some odd ever sence I couldn't get my first tiller running (by the way it still runs great and don't smoke and has good compression) been doing it for years with blowers, chain saws, weedeaters, tillers, pushmowers, LT, mowers I got off the curve that someone throwed away cause the couldn't get it started in the spring, and even my 67 ranger after it was in storage for 6 years. So far I have lost an engine due to wear or oiling problem yet, matter of fact the curb mower has been runing fine for 4 years now and all I did was clean up the fuel system and comb. chamber, changed the oil and blade.
The carb. cleaner burns off quickly and the gas being sucked in on two strokes has oil in it so for the couple of seconds with no load on the engine it don't hurt a thing except for cleaning out the crank case and comb chamber.
Now don't go and fill the gas tank up with carb. cleaner and go weedwacking cause after the engine warms up and you pull a load on it the heat will cause it to want to freeze up after about 5 mins or more. remember I said a few seconds not weedeating your hole yard.
I forgot one important thing......You put 7cc into the plug hole??!!!! That is a looooooooooooot of oil!!!!! You can just put a few drops of oil and pull the rope a few times and call it the day!!!
I am a home owner and I like fancy lawn equipments, I have enough for a three men crew!!! The way I keep up is rotating them in storage!!!! I don't do oil. I empty the gas tank, turn the primmer bult face up and prime the bulb empty. Then I empty the tank again. Then I close the choke, hold the trigger to WOT and pull start it. Let it run until it stop. THis will pull most if not all the gas out of the carb. Then I pull a few mort time and hang it on the wall. I never have any problem in the last three years. If you take the muffler anytime, you'll see the piston is a little wet with oil, if you open the crankcase, you'll see a film of oil on the metal. Don't worry about no oil to coat the parts. If you going to store for over a year, yes put oil in it, just a few drops!!!!
