Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
13 Jul 2014 02:13 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, China, North Korea
North Korea has fired two short-range missiles into the sea, Seoul's military said, in an apparent show of anger at an upcoming joint military drill between South Korea and the US.
The two short-range ballistic missiles were fired into the sea off the east coast early on Sunday, the South's defense ministry told AFP.
"Their range appear to be around 500 kilometres," he said, adding Seoul's military had stepped up monitoring for additional launches.
The move - the latest in a series of similar launches in recent weeks - came a day after Pyongyang condemned an upcoming Seoul-Washington naval joint exercise.
The annual drill, to be held July 16 to 21, involves the US aircraft carrier George Washington, which arrived in the southern port of Busan on Friday.
Frequent launches
North Korea called the port visit by the massive carrier a "reckless" act of provocation on Saturday.
"The US should properly understand that the more persistently it resorts to reckless nuclear blackmail and threat, the further [North Korea] will bolster up its cutting edge nuclear force for self-defense," said North Korea's top military body, the National Defence Commission.
North Korea has habitually slammed joint military exercises held south of the border and often responded with missile launches.
Sunday's launch was the fifth in less than two weeks. Previous tests had preceded Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Seoul, and were seen by some analysts as a show of pique at his decision to visit Seoul before Pyongyang.
In between the launches, Pyongyang has also made several peace overtures, including a proposal for both sides to halt all provocative military activity.
Seoul dismissed the offers as "nonsensical" in the light of Pyongyang's nuclear programme. It also made it clear that the annual joint drills are non-negotiable.

A charter school authorized by and renting from the Minneapolis school district has sued the district for sending it an eviction notice and working to lure away its teachers.
The Minnesota School of Science announced the lawsuit Tuesday, one day after it was filed in Hennepin County District Court.
The suit is an outgrowth of a lease dispute that arose when the state ruled that the charter school couldn't pay state lease aid to the school district if the district is both the school's authorizer under state charter school law and the school's landlord.
The two-year-old school rents the Cityview school building in the McKinley neighborhood of north Minneapolis. The state allowed lease aid to be paid from the school to the district in its first school year but changed its interpretation for the most recent school year. The school alleges that its lease only requires it to pay lease aid when the state forwards it, and that it is freed from doing so by the state's refusal. The district claims it is owed $580,000.
The lawsuit also alleges that the district broke the law by refusing to allow a North Side nonprofit to to become its new authorizer, so it could gain state lease aid. The district has been recruiting the charter's students for a semi-autonomous school it plans to open at Cityview next school year.

The First Must-Have PSP Game Since Launch 0
Originally scheduled as a launch title, Hot Shots Golf has finally arrived on the PSP and just in time. The PSP's launch is starting to fade, and people are looking for the next big title. Grand Theft Auto and Midnight Club got pushed back, so look no further than Open Tee. On the surface, Hot Shots has always looked cutesy and charming, but as anyone who has played the series knows, you will be hard pressed to find a better golf game out there. The characters may have a cartoony style,...2 out of 2 found this review helpful.

You have my sympathies Carney! We have a very similar problem with our neighbour behind us who is an absolute pain with noise from cars and from his garage! Due to him cutting some trees down we were also left with no privacy from his side windows and we have gone for Cherry Laurel for fast growing dense screening. Mine is currently growing in a similar sized gap between my fence and greenhouse but getting big very quickly so I fear greenhouse will have to go - privacy is more important to me and it won't be getting any sun/light soon! I have a pyracantha to add to my screen too but is growing nowhere near as fast as the laurel. I also have a Solanum Crispum which has grown very quickly and is semi evergreen and is currently supported by a trellis on stilts next to the fence - might be another option?
For me, the size is fine but I think the quotes spoil the lovely photographs!
Ok thanks - will take a look at that site
This may seem like a very random question but before I ask a local gardener for a quote, I wondered if anyone would know the approx cost of paying someone to erect a trellis screen in a flower bed alongside a patio. It would need to be approx three 6 x 6 ft panels with fence posts.
Many thanks for any ideas/advice..
Thank you for the replies - all much appreciated. I will try the sulphur and hope for the best next year. It's the dense foliage I love about this tree - it is perfect for screening and looks so beautiful throughout spring- autumn.
Thanks for the reply and the suggestion - that might work quite well as a replacement as long as it gives good coverage ..
Hi, I've posted before about my Robinia tree which appears to have succombed to the disease that has destroyed a great many of these trees recently
Although after a slow start, it has actually been very beautiful and made a lot of growth during the year almost doubling in size (it is still a young tree). However, brown patches appeared on the leaves similar to the beginning of this disease and they have mostly now fallen off.
I am wondering whether to remove the tree now or whether to give it another year to see what happens and potentially have to pay a tree surgeon to take it out if it gets much bigger?
I love this tree but I need it for a privacy issue so would want to get started with another tree asap so it doesn't leave a gap for too long!
Many thanks for any advice
Have you considered a raised hedge? Expensive but you wouldn't lose any space underneath and would provide a fairly instant screen.
I have a similar problem with overlooking upstairs windows and have planted a Sorbus as they do have that rounded, dense shape. It's a lovely tree but rather slow growing compared to the Prunus I have also put in. You could also shape a Cherry laurel into a standard (as someone on here told me!) which I am in the process of doing to create some evergreen privacy along with my deciduous trees.
I pruned mine in Nov/Dec last year and it seemed fine. My tree hasn't produced any flowers or berries this year but is only 3 yrs old so that could be why. Hopefully someone with a more mature tree will come along with some advice. They are such lovely trees but I'll admit mine has looked a bit sorry for itself the latter end of the season with leaves coming off early - maybe didn't like the weather!
Yep - totally agree you can actually see it growing. I planted one a few years ago to provide us with some privacy and it has taken over a 30 ft long fence already and most of the neighbours shrubs on the other side so it's coming out!!

Rey Mysterio continues
With rumors of his retirement hovering over the industry, Rey Mysterio decided to address the audience while making an appearance at Walemania.

No word yet on when he will be stepping back into the ring, but Mysterio does have plenty of dates booked.

Sean Waltman biography
Since WWE is promoting a DVD on Booker T that focuses on how he turned his life around, there are rumors floating around that the company might do one for Sean Waltman. As of right now, that biography does not appear to be a priority. He has been involve in plenty of memorable moments, so there would be more than enough footage. However, Waltman did go through some really dark times that should not be in the spotlight.

HHH fires Booker T
Some rumors popped up recently that Triple H went off the script when he worked an interview segment with Booker T on Monday Night Raw. Some are saying that the firing angle was something that was impromptu and spontaneous. Those rumors are false. WWE had the entire thing scripted out from the beginning. Otherwise, Booker might not have been able to react that well in a pinch. HHH was said to be one that came up with the idea.

Rey Mysterio appearances
There are rumors floating around right now that Rey Mysterio has booked himself some appearances outside of WWE. However, that is not true. The popular masked superstar has been thrown a bunch of offers from independent wrestling promoters, enough money for him to make a living off of. He, of course, is unable to accept any of those deals as long as he is contractually obligated to is current company. A release is being negotiated.

Matt Hardy appearances
Those that keep up with Matt Hardy already know that he is one of the busiest wrestlers in the world, as he is consistently being booked for various promotions on the independent circuit. He also works for TNA. Now that he is set to become a father for the very first time, rumors have sparked that he might want the stability that WWE can provide him. However, that is not the case because Hardy is making more money on the indies.

Since he remains on good terms with the company and makes frequent returns and appearances, rumors about Rob Van Dam being a mystery entrant during the Royal Rumble continue to persists. He touched on the topic during an interview with Booker T. RVD stated that he is going to be riding his bike in California on Sunday night. The former world heavyweight champion also noted that fans are not going to believe him anyways.

A scathing indictment of the pharmaceutical industry. Diseases are created to sell drugs which have little positive effect on the condition and often have many harmful side effects. Doctors are forced to follow treatment guidelines which mandate the use of the newest blockbuster drugs even though pharmaceutical companies refuse to release the raw data from their studies and routinely manipulate what they do release to claim better results than the drug is actually producing and hiding serious s ...more

David Healy has written a powerful inditement of the current relationship between the pharmaceutical industry, regulatory bodies and medical practice. The book gives a historical overview of the relationships between pharmacological innovation, medicine and the impact on disease and wellbeing. Where pharmaceuticals (such as antibiotics and insulin) initially made great headway in curing disease and markedly improve wellbeing, there has been a change since about the 1960s. The introduction of pat ...more

This EXCELLENT book could be an object study in the law of unintended consequences, on a meta level. More closely, Dr. Healy ties together a number of threads relating to medicine, big pharma, statistics, and medical journals. To the threads, Dr. Healy adds mountains of evidence. WHile very well researched, this book is so wonderfully written that you don't even realize you are reading an academic calibre work. Essentially, everything you thought you knew was rotten in Western-style medicine is ...more

An excellent account of the perfidy of the pharmaceutical industry, by a true insider. The author, David Healy, is an MD and perhaps surprisingly is harder on MDs than other authors who see them as mere puppets of the pharmaceutical industry. He even postulates the end of laws regarding prescribing drugs, because doctors are not performing their responsibility to protect consumers from the dangers of pharmaceutical drugs, rather they are encouraging them to keep taking drugs despite the side eff ...more

This is a good book to read if you are an American, and you have any prescription drugs to pick up at Walgreens today. If the Prozac doesn't make you kill yourself, this book will. Do you suspect our government is owned outright by corporations: Defense/weapons, Financial/banking, Big Pharmaceutical? It is. That we will never get universal health care in this country? That your doctor is a paid salesman for Pharmaceuticals? That all clinical trials are run by the drug manufacturer themselves, wh ...more

To read my review in Spanish; click here: http://lunairereadings.blogspot.com/2... reckless drug dealers are everywhere. They have penetrated the most sacred places; including the doctor's office; corrupting the majority of those we rely upon to keep ourselves out of trouble. There are big news: those same doctors are trying to turn us into profitable adicts; that will be hooked to the pharmaceutical's products for life. God forbid if we get addicted to one of those so much legal painkillers; an ...more

You will never view your annual checkup in quite the same way once Dr. Healy has taken you through the business of medicine as built by pharmaceutical companies. From cholesterol testing to concealing data from clinical trials to ghostwriting and the shocking work that is done to cover the true hazards of prescription drugs, Dr. Healy will take you on his journey of discovery and rude awakenings. Learn how Elliot Spitzer took on big pharma (before he fell from grace) to come to what we now know ...more

Everyone should read this...not so that you can avoid prescription drugs but so that you can be an informed consumer and perhaps even be more informed and cautious than your doctor.
A fresh perspective of the influence of big pharma on the practice of medicine. Strangely, little publicized or talked about.
David Healy is a former secretary of the British Association for Psychopharmacology and author of over 120 articles and 12 books, including The Antidepressant Era and The Creation of Psychopharmacology.More about David Healy...

Fault Lines on the city's homelessness crisis
08 Mar 2006 14:50 GMT
Nuclear engineer Rusi Taleyarkhan's work has been controversial since he published a study in 2002 claiming to have achieved the Holy Grail of energy production - nuclear fusion at room temperature.
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers the sun.
If scientists can duplicate the results and harness the technology, tabletop fusion has the potential to provide an almost limitless source of cheap energy.
Many labs are working frantically to try to do so, but their efforts are difficult to substantiate and especially susceptible to being labelled as fraud.
Taleyarkhan, whose study was published while he was at the US Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, now works at Purdue University in Indiana and has also been trying to replicate his earlier findings.
He claimed to have done so in 2004.
Review initiated
Sally Mason, Purdue provost, said her office was checking complaints from some of Taleyarkhan's co-workers. "Purdue last week initiated a review of this research and these allegations," Mason said in a statement on Wednesday.
"The research claims involved are very significant and the concerns expressed are extremely serious. Purdue will explore all aspects of the situation thoroughly and announce the results at the appropriate time," she added.
N-fusion at room temperature isthe goal of energy researchers"To ensure objectivity, the review is being conducted by Purdue's Office of the Vice President for Research, which is separate from the College of Engineering."

The journal Nature reported on Wednesday that it had interviewed several of Taleyarkhan's colleagues who suspect something is amiss.
"Faculty members Lefteri Tsoukalas and Tatjana Jevremovic, along with several others who do not wish to be named, say that since Taleyarkhan began working at Purdue, he has removed the equipment with which they were trying to replicate his work, claimed as 'positive' experimental runs for which they never saw the raw data, and opposed the publication of their own negative results," Nature said in a statement.
"In addition, Brian Naranjo at the University of California, Los Angeles, is submitting to Physical Review Letters an analysis of Taleyarkhan's recently published data that strongly suggests he has detected not fusion, but a standard lab source of radioactivity."
Lithium crystal
Naranjo's lab reported in April 2005 that it had achieved cold fusion by heating a lithium crystal soaked in deuterium gas.
Engineers and physicists have been cautious about Taleyarkhan's technique but say in theory it could work.

In his original report, published in the journal Science in 2002, Talayarkhan and colleagues said they created nuclear fusion in a beaker of chemically altered acetone by bombarding it with neutrons and then sound waves to make bubbles.
When the bubbles burst, the researchers said they detected fusion energy. The 2004 experiment used uranyl nitrate, a salt of natural uranium.
Experts have been especially sceptical about cold fusion claims since Britons Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons of Southampton University held a news conference in 1989 to claim they had achieved it.
Announcing a major scientific advance in a news conference rather than submitting experiments to expert peer review and scrutiny is considered poor form by scientists - and Fleischmann and Pons were further ridiculed when no one could duplicate their efforts.
