Okay, so you know a woman and you REALLY like her, but for some reason you can't seem to get her to be your girlfriend. Is she playing hard to get, or is she just not interested in anything sexual or romantic with you?
Watch the following video for classic signs that she does like you and actually wants you to kiss her:
The Kiss Test: 7 Signs That She Wants You to Kiss Her
Should You Tell Her About Your Feelings For Her?
Using the Wrong Approach
Unless you first attract a woman, she will usually reject you regardless of how much interest you show in her. When a guy attempts to seduce a woman incorrectly (i.e. by being a nice guy, pretending to be an innocent friend and then asking her out), he will usually get one of the following responses:
- "I'm not looking for a relationship right now."
- "I like you, but don't rush me."
- "Give me some time. I don't know what I want right now."
So, what does she mean by those statements?
She is trying to tell you that she isn't attracted to you. Yes, she might like you as a person, but liking a guy in a friendly way isn't what makes a woman want to have sex with him. Sexual attraction is what makes a woman want to have sex and unless you are making her feel that, anything that you say about "seeing each other" or "dating" or "going out" will seem weird, awkward and even wrong to her.
Statements like the ones above also mean that you're coming on strong and wanting her to commit to being your girlfriend, even though you haven't yet kissed her or had sex with her. In the early 1900s, that was an appropriate dating strategy because almost all women didn't have sex before marriage. They NEEDED a man to support them, provide for them and protect them.
In today's world, you have to make a woman feel attracted to you and then at least kiss her (but preferably have sex with her first), before you even get to talking about seeing each other again or starting a relationship. Today's women don't need men like women did in the past and unless you know what you're doing, most women will reject you. The flow of a sexual courtship HAS changed and if you use the approach that men used in the early 1900s, expect to be rejected.
Using the Right Approach
If you really like this girl, you have to stop what you're doing and change your approach to her. Here's what you need to do:
1. Focus on attracting her
Stop trying to get her to LIKE you and start making her feel sexually attracted to you. A woman liking you as a person is NOT the step before starting a sexual relationship with her. You have to make her feel sexually turned on by your confidence and behavior as well get her to like you as a guy.
2. Adjust your interest level
It is fine to be 100% sexually attracted to her, but it is not fine to be 100% interested in her prior to starting a sexual relationship. Instead of being 100% interested (otherwise known as "being too keen"), allow your interest level in her to rise and fall based on how well she is treating you. For instance, if you're talking to her and she only gives short answers or says, "Uh-huh…uh-huh" and doesn't even care what you're saying, then stop talking to her. Pull back your interest and do something else.
3. Stop acting like a friend
Being a woman's friend is not the way to get a girlfriend. You've got to talk to her in a way that makes her feel turned on, as well as directly show your sexual interest (e.g. by the way you look at her) or express it, (e.g. by smiling at her and telling her that you think she's sexy).
If you act like a friend, you will be in the friend zone with her and all it will take for another guy to steal her from you is for him to come along, attract her, kiss her and then have sex with her. If the guy knows what he is doing and doesn't make the mistake of acting like an innocent friend who isn't sexually interested in her, he will usually be able to begin having sex with her right away.
4. Make her chase you
Women want to feel LUCKY to be chosen by YOU. They do not want to feel as though they are doing you a favor by going out with you. To make a woman chase you, she first has to feel attracted to you. From there, you need to raise and lower your interest level based on how good she is being to you. You also need to be confident so that other women feel attracted to you and she notices it.
When women see that other women are attracted to you, their attraction for you skyrockets. It's not the same for us men. We usually decide if we want to have sex with a woman based on her appearance alone, but women take many different factors into account, including whether or not other women like you. If a woman senses that you are desperate and can't attract other women, she won't feel special or lucky to be with you. She will feel as though she is doing you a favor.

I don't like to exercise. In fact, my dislike borders on hate. What's the use of sweating for no good reason? When I lift weights, my muscles ache. I never got into "the zone" when I ran, I just got out of breath. And riding a bike hurts my derrière.
I used to be into sports. I played racquetball and even won a couple of trophies. I was a dynamite catcher on our softball team. I had a mouth that would intimidate even the most fearless wannabe hitter. If I didn't catch the pitch with my mitt, my thighs were large enough to stop even a zinger — and I have permanent bruises to prove it.
Then one day I just stopped. I can't remember why, I just hung up my mitt and my racquet and moved on.
When the mayor challenged the townsfolk to walk to school and work, I ignored him. But when I was told that my bones were weakened and I might implode, I decided that walking was going to be my savior — in addition to 1,200 milligrams of calcium daily.
The first thing I needed was proper footwear, which turned out to be the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. I actually paid $70 for a pair with a rounded toes and "excellent" arch support that look like duck feet.
I used to walk around my neighborhood when I was on a quit-smoking campaign — don't ask — or a weight-loss regimen. But when my daily strolls produced little or no results, I quit. Nevertheless, this was serious business! Forget trying to get into a size 10 — I am getting shorter by the minute and this time I was determined to do something about it.
I decided the trail would be the best place to walk. For my first foray, I decided to walk for a half-hour. How difficult could it be putting one foot in front of the other? I wore my watch, and my plan was to walk for 15 minutes, turn around and walk back to where I began.
The first part of my body to complain was my calves. They started to tighten almost immediately. I ignored them. Next, my hip started to whine. I straightened my gait. Next, my feet told me they didn't like my new walking shoes, which were beginning to weigh 10 pounds each. Surely I'm almost halfway, I thought. Glancing at my watch, I had been walking for exactly eight minutes. That first day I walked 20 minutes total, limped home, took some Ibuprofen and went to bed.
My daughter told me about an article she had read that said to get in shape and lose weight, we must walk 10,000 steps every day. To make her point, she bought me a pedometer so I could keep track of my steps. Piece of cake, I thought. With my daily walk — I was up to 45 minutes — and all the errands I run, I should have 10,000 by noon.
Thank goodness my husband knew how to calibrate the thing or I never would have gotten started. I clipped it to my waistband and I was off walking around my house. I'd stop every few steps to see how far I'd walked. In less than five minutes it read 150 — not bad. I was out the door, headed for my trail walk with a new purpose. The gizmo clicked as I walk so I knew it was working, but I would check it every once in awhile to note my progress. And because I can't walk and read the thing, I'd stop and lift my shirt — always on the lookout that someone would see me and wonder what perverted thing I was doing.
When I reached 2,500, I almost let out a whoop! I was so energized I walked for an hour. By the time I reached my car, I had logged 4,200 steps. Hmm. This may take a little longer than noon to complete.
Undaunted, I went home and found myself thinking of reasons to go up and down the steps. By 2 p.m., I was almost at 6,000. Then I noticed that my shoe was untied. I bent over to tie the lace, and when I straightened up and looked at my pedometer, it read zero! Apparently, the extra roll — or two — of fat I've been carrying around pushed the clear button. I was devastated. I took the darn thing off and sat for the rest of the day.
Since then, I've had my ups and downs with my pedometer. I put it on first thing every morning — not wanting to miss a step. I take it off if I have to bend over. I have found that when I wear a certain pair of pants, the counter doesn't work because they're too tight to let it jiggle. I haven't made it to 10,000 yet — 8,200 is the highest so far — but I keep trying.
So, if you hear someone clicking behind you in the store or on the street, it's probably me on my quest to 10,000.
If you have a comment, or know of a pedometer that's bend-over proof, please e-mail me at email@example.com

The Federal Trade Commission officially stepped in yesterday to mediate a contentious battle between copyright owners and software companies by hosting a two-day session on peer-to-peer (P2P) software, although the institution of federal P2P marketing regulations is not a sure thing at this point. Representatives of content interests claimed that P2P companies' chief source of revenue comes from enabling consumers to pirate copyrighted content, and argued that their goal is to instill responsibility in P2P networks. Stanley Pierre-Louis with the Recording Industry Association of America said that 99 percent of P2P network traffic involves copyrighted works, and accused the networks of intentionally taking no action against such piracy, thus "offloading" accountability to consumers. He also noted that the issue could be better illuminated with the Supreme Court's recent decision to examine the case of Grokster. P2P company representatives, meanwhile, charged that industry groups have been deliberately feeding the FTC misinformation about P2P technology. P2P United executive director Adam Eisgrau said members of his organization intend to post online warnings that purchasing premium versions of P2P software does not give the user the right to download copyrighted works. P2P United earlier announced a "cybersafety" initiative to disseminate consumer advisories on copyright-infringement liability, data security, spyware, malware, and pornography. James Miller, a lobbyist working for the RIAA, said the FTC should develop specific regulations for P2P companies to guarantee that consumers are aware of the alleged risks, require "simple filters" to halt copyright file-trading, install trade-regulation rules encompassing P2P software claims, and sue bad P2P actors that engage in inequitable trade practices.

Methods to input Web addresses have not kept pace with the swelling volume of multilingual material on the Internet. The Roman alphanumeric script, or ASCII characters, upon which the Internet rests can be a burden for many non-English-speaking users who have few options apart from memorizing numerical IP addresses or the English spellings of Web sites. This problem has sparked a debate among internationalized domain name (IDN) advocates as to whether teaching English to non-English-speaking Web users or refining the domain name system to accept multiple languages is the simpler solution. Initiatives to realize IDNs began as far back as 1996, but it was only last March that ICANN released IDN standards developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The standards map out how vernacular characters can be converted to Unicode characters that are likewise encoded in ASCII so as to keep the Internet's infrastructure stable; the Unicode system accommodates about 40 languages including Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. VeriSign and I-dns.net allow IDNs that reportedly comply with the IETF standards to be registered, and users are required to set up plug-ins before they can enter native characters in the address bar. Foreign IT vendors are pressing ahead on language-localization programs, but top-level IDN deployment and educational efforts have been infrequent, indicating a shortage of enthusiasm. With the online population expected to total 1 billion in 2005, accelerating IDN implementation could help drive the next stage of the Internet's expansion and spawn significant opportunities in areas such as e-commerce and e-government.

The Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) and Fujitsu have joined forces in a multi-year collaborative effort to advance ubiquitous computing. The ubiquitous computing movement aims to unobtrusively network nearly any device or object into a single, universally accessible and always available Internet architecture by integrating current network technologies, wireless computing, Internet capability, voice recognition, and artificial intelligence. Fujitsu and PARC say they will concentrate on a "meta standard" interconnect technology that establishes interoperability between different devices on the network. The partners will also focus on developing less complicated and more secure wireless networking, improved ad-hoc sensor network technology, simplified software architecture for compatibility, and sophisticated data visualization technologies. "Taking advantage of these strengths, we will be able to make our cutting-edge technology concepts and visions a reality," declared PARC President Mark Bernstein. The partners stated that social science will also be applied to spawn new business-to-business and business-to-customer opportunities. Research areas expected to play key roles in plans to create simple, secure technologies include protecting personal data in global electronic health care systems; networking intelligent transportation systems; connecting businesses and consumers through personalized information services; and enhancing local disaster-response systems by enabling data networks to reconfigure and locally adapt to changes.

Supporters of the ubiquitous computing movement envision an environment in which households, workplaces, and cars are all networked by hidden computer intelligence, thus ushering in the "third wave" of technology predicted by Xerox PARC researcher Mark Weiser in the 1990s. However, critics are uncertain that this wave can be achieved because of engineering challenges--challenges that companies are ignoring while hyping unrealistic expectations, argues Cambridge University professor Andy Hopper. He reports that "The field is working on science fiction ideas but few people are concentrating on concrete, engineering-based projects that deliver something reliable, scalable and dependable, and that interprets information correctly." Size and power issues prevent current technology from delivering the context awareness component so vital to ambient intelligence, so the development of inexpensive, embedded wireless sensors, actuators, and displays is essential. Sensor networks need to be dramatically enhanced, given the heavy processing workload of tracking people in three dimensions by filtering out undesirable data. And sensor and actuator networks are expected to be in continuous operation, which calls for cheap, reliable sensor nodes that can either siphon power from their surroundings or maintain enough power until they are replaced. Meanwhile, Giles Lane with U.K. think-tank Proboscis says mapping the environment to integrate with sensor data is a tough challenge, given that the world is messier and more complex than researchers tend to think. Wireless data transmission is still highly susceptible to interference, and signals need to span disparate networks without interruption for ambient intelligence to be truly realized.

Penn State McKeesport professor Guangfeng Song is working to ease Web navigation by enhancing Web browsers with the ability to record and familiarize themselves with individual users' activities in order to specifically tailor user experience. Song is researching the development of an active learning Web browser that notes the user's behavior, analyzes the data, and retains that experience for later and/or shared use. Such a browser can convert the history of past Web use into written instructions for later use, thus sparing users the burden of recalling how they previously interacted with the Web when they wish to return to a site of interest. Collaborative research could also be simplified with the browser memory, which would allow individuals to better communicate with their partners on how they interact online. Song is pondering how his work can facilitate the recognition of similar features or characteristics in Web sites, and he hopes to learn what blend of elements allows an individual to detect these similarities by studying human perception of Web site design. Song is also analyzing how Web pages are segmented: Effective user experience documentation is beyond the capabilities of the Web's current architecture, and Song thinks that improvements to Web site design will enable the computer to aggregate written instructions on earlier Web-site experience with less difficulty. Personal privacy is a key issue in such aggregation, and the deployment of human-computer interaction will hinge on whether this issue is adequately addressed for Web users. As a doctoral graduate of Purdue University, Song wrote a dissertation entitled "A Method to Reuse Web Browsing Experience to Enhance Web Information Retrieval" that formed the basis of his current work at Penn State.

Researchers in the IST-funded POEtic (phylogenesis, ontogenesis, epigenesis) project have recently demonstrated an autonomous computing systems platform that digitally imitates the characteristics of organic tissues. Project coordinator Juan-Manuel Moreno explains that POEtic chips bring together for the first time three self-organizing biology models--development, learning, and evolution--on a single piece of hardware. The first POEtic chips were equipped with a special microprocessor that runs evolutionary algorithms, along with a basic programmable unit. Moreno compares the unit's electronic substrate to an organic molecule composed of cells, each capable of communicating with its neighbors via bi-directional channels and with the environment via sensors and actuators, thus performing a function. The individual cells share the same fundamental structure, but they can assume different functionalities thanks to a three-tiered architecture composed of a genotype plane that describes the chip in much the same way a genome describes an organism; a configuration plane that converts the genome into a configuration string; and a phenotype plane whose processing unit is directly controlled by the configuration string. Moreno says tests demonstrated the viability of hardware that is adaptive and dynamic: "They are adaptive because we can modify the system's basic parameters and structure," he notes. "And they are dynamic because these changes can be done autonomously and in real time." Eighty final POEtic chips will be delivered for testing early next year, and Moreno is confident that the tests will establish the chips' evolutionary and learning capabilities; he concludes that the next project will focus on using complex algorithms to make the chips more dynamic and supportive of analog functionalities.

Scientists in Seattle, Wash., have developed a system that enables 19-year-old epilepsy sufferer Tristan Lundemo to play a video game using mental impulses. University of Washington neurosurgeon Dr. Jeff Ojemann and physics and computer science graduate student Kai Miller are studying how people can learn to operate devices using brainpower. Some 72 electrodes were implanted in Lundemo's skull, not within the brain tissue itself but on the surface of the brain; the electrodes are wired to a computer, allowing Lundemo to control the movement of a cursor on a screen so that he can engage in a game of Pong by thought. The electrode array is also used to record the patient's epileptic seizures. "It's a two-way learning process," says Miller. "The computer is adapting to him just as he is adapting to the computer." Lundemo also mastered the operational principles of the game quickly, and Miller and Ojemann think their approach may have played a role. Ojemann notes that the regions in Lundemo's brain have shrunk in size concurrent with the patient's increasing concentration. Miller and Ojemann say the brain-computer interface discipline is a small but growing field, whose initial goal is to develop technology that can make paralytics and amputees more independent. The researchers are collaborating on the study with Dr. Gerwin Schalk of New York's Wadsworth Center. Click Here to View Full Article
The architectural principles of the World Wide Web's operations documented by the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) eight-member Technical Architecture Group (TAG) have been published as a W3C Recommendation entitled "Architecture of the World Wide Web, Volume One." TAG co-Chair and W3C director Tim Berners-Lee remarks that all TAG members have contributed to the Web's design, noting that in the Architecture document they demonstrate what Web properties must be retained when developing new technological innovations. "They notice where the current systems don't work well, and as a result show weakness," he says. The TAG compiled Web design issues and discussed them in an open forum, thus recording and elucidating long-enduring, widely deployed principles that future generations of developers will need to refer to in order to ensure the continued evolution of the Internet. The first volume of the Web Architecture promotes cutting-edge technology, validating widely accepted, well-understood precepts whose viability has been practically established. Furthermore, the TAG is monitoring principles currently undergoing testing in rapidly maturing sectors, and subsequent TAG publications will use lessons learned from meshing Web services, the mobile Web, and the Semantic Web to add to Volume One. The W3C Recommendation represents the first time that the Web's general design principles have been coherently outlined in a single document by a group of established authorities, and reviewed in detail by the Web community.
The UC Berkeley Aerial Robot (BEAR) group has successfully test-flown model helicopters that demonstrate cutting-edge autonomous flight and obstacle-avoidance technology. "Our BEAR group is the first to successfully develop a system where autonomous helicopters can detect obstacles, stationary or moving, and recompute their course in real time to reach the original target destination," notes BEAR research engineer David Hyunchul Shim. This breakthrough is a significant step toward unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly safely through urban or rural environments, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is supporting the BEAR group's work as part of its Unmanned Combat Armed Rotocraft program for developing low altitude autonomous flight capabilities. Each model helicopter is equipped with a pair of onboard computers running on a QNX operating system that supports real-time computation; inertial navigation and global positioning systems for maintaining the vehicle's stability; wireless modems and Ethernet systems to effect communication with ground-based computers; and laser scanners to survey terrain in three dimensions. The BEAR researchers have also advanced the use of computer vision in flight and landing tests. The collision avoidance technology the group utilizes employs nonlinear model predictive control principles, and BEAR researchers note that the addition of a sensor could help reduce airplane accidents. Potential civilian applications for the research include firefighting, search-and-rescue, power line inspection, and monitoring for pests in agricultural installations. In addition, the BEAR group has developed and successfully tested battery-powered robotic helicopters, which Shim says could find use in long missions because they can be automatically recharged at solar energy stations.

Russian engineers are working to develop smart dust technologies in conjunction with global IT partners such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard in an effort to become a leader in wireless sensor networks. Smart dust technology is still in its infancy, but the foundations are emerging for a distributed-sensing and intelligent network that would dramatically enhance otherwise mundane services. When cars and fueling stations are equipped with smart dust sensors, for example, it is conceivable that drivers would have automatic recommendations to change their oil or increase tire pressure, when needed. The major issues facing smart dust development are cost, standardization, hardware, software, and business applications. In terms of application and fulfilling marketplace needs, businesses around the world are starting to deploy RFID in their supply chain operations, and smart dust would take these capabilities further and enable new services that affect the customer, such as the "silent commerce" concept in the fueling station example. "Smart dust is...a distributed computing environment with a lot of artificial intelligence and all these representative agents running around doing your work for you," says Vasiliy Suvorov, a top scientist with IBS Group's Luxoft Labs in Russia. Software plays an increasingly important role in technological development, as Suvorov notes that today's hardware is more software-defined. Nano-crystals could enable revolutionary new applications such as smart dust nodes small enough to be injected into the bloodstream, says Ukrainian Academy of Science scientist Alla Klimovskaya, who is developing such crystals.

Australia can exert more influence over the development of the Web, and not just use the standards that U.S. interests fight over, said Ivan Herman, head of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) international office, during a conference at the Distributed Systems Technology Center in Brisbane this week. Ideally, any organization can voice their wishes with the W3C. Liz Armstrong, head of the W3C Australian Office and DSTC director of technology transfer and special projects, said having only five Australian members is a problem. "I think a lot of organizations don't realize they could join the W3C and participate in the development of recommendations for the Web and its future," she noted. Herman said Australia has an opportunity to shape the direction of the semantic Web, in which computers can automatically share data such as stock prices, plane routes, and GPS coordinates. The structure of the data must be improved to offer more context on what is being referred to, rather than incorporating artificial intelligence into the Internet, Herman said of the semantic Web. "It is basically adding metadata to various resources on the Web in an intelligent manner so it can be used by all kinds of programs and [software] agents," added Herman.

Dr. Theodore Berger, director of the Center for Neural Engineering at the University of Southern California, has developed the Smart Sensor Enabled Threat Recognition and Identification (Sentri) system, which combines video cameras, microphones, computers, and software modeled after neural sound processing to identify gunshots, pinpoint their location, and relay the coordinates to a command center. Sentri is produced by Safety Dynamics, which Berger co-founded with Bryan Baker, who serves as the company's CEO and chief scientist. The system's software uses wavelet analysis to split sound into small fragments and match each fragment to established audio-wave patterns, while also analyzing the incoming noise in total to ensure that its individual elements are heard in the correct order even if one is masked by other sounds. "The gunshot has a particular unique signature, where you have the sound of the explosion when the firing pin hits the bullet and the sound of the bullet as it expels from the gun," notes Baker. "You've got a little blip, and then a drop, and then a big blip, and with the training we've done now, we've picked it up so that both blips are part of what it has learned." Four microphones are employed in the system, and the difference in time the sound takes to reach each mike allows the system to quickly ascertain a gunshot's location; a computer then signals the video camera to zoom in on the location, and then this information and the video is piped directly to the command center. Berger says the military has considered his technology to monitor for noises indicative of security breaches, while the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department plans to test Sentri devices around Los Angeles County. Berger envisions an upgraded Sentri system that can identify different sounds simultaneously as well as track shooters visually.

The increasing complexity of onboard electronic systems is generating a new breed of car enthusiasts who tweak factory-set controls and add computer modifications. The aftermarket industry generates $25 million in annual revenue selling third-party computer chips and other upgraded components, but serious hackers are not just ratcheting up horsepower or making other simple changes. "Car makers definitely make their share of stupid or annoying user-interface decisions, such as requiring the ignition key be turned to engine-run position before the power windows will work," says a car hacker known as Hobbit who designed a simple switch to operate windows without the key. Hackers also modify or change system configurations because there is no other way to get a certain functionality, says Damien Stolarz, CEO of in-car computer firm Carbot; conventional mechanic shops do not add videoconferencing or voice-activated instant-messaging capabilities, for instance. The situation is especially limited for owners of U.S. cars since manufacturers in America are reticent about installing features that could distract drivers and lead to lawsuits. European car makers offer factory-configured add-ons such as navigation packages that provide directions on a dashboard LCD screen, and those too can be modified with TV tuners or ports that allow people to plug in video game systems. Other potential modifications are even more impressive, such as a self-diagnosing car fitted with sensors and a GPS unit so that drivers can track performance at different locations; this data could be used to optimize performance in accordance with a person's driving habits. Even experienced car hackers advise caution when making changes, however, because modifications can void warranties or violate state regulations. Click Here to View Full Article
The full impact of the Semantic Web will be similar to that of the original World Wide Web: Difficult to explain until it is seen and experienced, writes software architect Michael J. Hudson. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been working on the Semantic Web since 1998 and so far has produced the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Web Ontology Language (OWL) to make it work. The basic idea is to standardize the creation and deployment of metadata so that Web information can be acted upon by computers without human interpretation or narrow operating guidelines. Currently, the results of the Semantic Web can be seen through offerings such as Amazon.com's product recommendations feature; under the Semantic Web, Web browsers would be able to offer similar contextual recommendations outside of the set framework of a single Web site. Users that see a vacation description currently have to manually copy down the date and contact information to their calendar and address book applications, but with the Semantic Web such information is automatically recognized as being dates and phone numbers, for example. Applications could act on Web information with little more prompting than a single mouse click. As the portion of the Internet that uses Semantic Web technologies grows, the Semantic Web will become more powerful, similar to how the Web grew in functionality and usefulness as more users were added. Not only would the Web offer an unprecedented wealth of information, but it would also create a massive set of inference rules that computers could use to make reasoned decisions. Although not technically artificial intelligence, Hudson says this functionality is a starting point for new types of applied machine intelligence. Click Here to View Full Article
The Los Alamos National Laboratory Advanced Computing Lab is studying techniques that could apply GPU capabilities for hardware-accelerated visualization and for general-purpose processing. Graphics processing technologies have advanced quickly, driven by entertainment-industry commodity graphics hardware. GPUs today have roughly an order of magnitude more computing power and memory bandwidth than CPUs, and Los Alamos researchers have created a development environment to help scientists leverage these capabilities when creating images from large sets of raw scientific data. Visualization plays an important role as scientific data sets become larger because the full implications of results are often difficult to discern in purely numerical studies. Los Alamos researchers used their Scout development environment to better harness a Nvidia Quadro 3400 card and improve the computational rates of a 3-GHz Intel Xeon process by 20 times without streaming SIMD extensions; the hardware-accelerated system was used to model results from a Terascale Supernova Initiative simulation. Although GPUs can increase visualization and general-purpose computation capabilities, serious obstacles remain, such as limited use of PCI Express for moving data between GPU and CPU; a lack of floating-point precision in GPUs, which seriously affects particular calculations; small memory sizes; and a restrictive programming model for GPUs, which the Scout language addresses by masking much of the problems from the end user. The Los Alamos Advanced Computing Lab is also investigating clustered GPUs in which hundreds of these processors would be working in parallel. Research on GPUs presages future CPU architectures, such as multicores, multithreading, and parallelism; GPU cores are likely to be found in future CPUs, or GPUs could be used for more general-purpose computing.

Medical Education Technologies' (METI) Stan D. Ardman, or Stan, is a highly realistic, interactive, computer-controlled mannequin designed to simulate numerous disease symptoms and medical conditions for the benefit of doctors in training. Stan can blink its eyes, dilate its pupils, bleed, inflate and deflate its chest, vomit, emit a pulse and an audible heartbeat, and perform other convincing physiological functions with the help of three computers--a G4 Mac that serves as a control system, a Linux unit within the rack, and a simulation driver developed in-house. METI chief technology officer John J. Anton says a medical scenario for Stan starts out with mathematical equations that mirror the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, after which an equation for a drug is worked out and authenticated in medical literature; the effects of the drug on Stan's respiratory and cardiovascular systems will accurately mimic those in humans. "The equations are coded in C++ and positioned as code to be instantiated into our [Unix-based] software," Anton notes. Data for emulating about 35 unique patient profiles is preloaded by METI onto the G4, which the instructor uses to run the scenario; Stan's responses to treatment can be controlled either through the main computer or a wireless handheld. The instructor employs the Scenario Editor application to view and tweak over 70 scripted patient settings, and can then tailor and ride common medical problems on top of more critical problems. In addition, the script can be changed by the instructor on the fly so students can learn how to respond to sudden events in medical emergencies. METI patient simulators have been used by the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Stan was recently reprogrammed to simulate medical conditions in zero gravity as part of the training program for future astronauts.

A Chronicle of Higher Education survey indicates an increase in information security spending levels over the last two years for more than 50 percent of U.S. colleges and universities that responded to the poll. Almost all respondents reported that their institutions were targeted by worms and viruses in the past year: 73 percent reported an acceleration in cyberattacks; 53 percent said attempts were made in the past year to cripple their campus networks; and 41 percent said their systems were successfully breached. Colleges are adopting a more strategic approach to computer security, examples of which include hiring information security officers (a tactic adopted by 42 percent of the survey respondents), assigning staff members to the issue full-time, educating users, and formalizing campus network security plans (which 46 percent of participating institutions have done). All of the colleges reported using antivirus software, 98 percent said they employ firewalls, and 96 percent indicated they have deployed spam filters. Colleges have a tendency to centralize the security of systems distributed across different departments while subcontracting other technology chores, and tight budgets have spurred some institutions to simply shift staff and capital over to security instead of raising IT budgets. However, the network access restrictions colleges are implementing, such as ejecting network users with vulnerable systems, can be harsh for scholars who rely on collaboration and fast access to data. One of the factors driving the hiring of information security officers is federal legislation such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which requires the appointment of such personnel by colleges and other institutions in order to ensure compliance. The survey registers more active campus information security initiatives among fully-fledged universities than among two- and four-year colleges, which computer experts attribute to the greater threat universities face if sensitive data is compromised.
Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones and Voice over IP (VoIP) are vulnerable to hacking, which has earned its practitioners the moniker "phreakers" (phone hackers). Despite demonstrations of phreaking techniques that would allow phones and the sensitive data they carry to be compromised, manufacturers and phone service providers are dismissing them as minor threats and continuing to sell products whose vulnerability is well established. Bunker CSO Adam Laurie notes that it is relatively easy for a phreaker to sniff out Bluetooth signals from nearby phones and quickly determine their level of vulnerability with a "bluesnarfing" program, after which the phreaker can infect and hijack target phones, which in turn broadcast the virus to other susceptible Bluetooth phones within their transmission range; if the infected phones are used to make micropayments, the malware could, for instance, commandeer the phones' SMS system and employ reverse SMS to steal money. Another technique, bluebugging, can be used to take over Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones and have them call other phones, allowing the users to listen in on sensitive conversations. Cell phone companies contend that such hacks are limited because Bluetooth only works over short distances, so hackers must be close to their targets to be effective; but at least one piece of equipment, the Bluetooth "sniper," circumvents this limitation by sending and receiving signals at more than 1,000 yards. Bluebugging and bluesnarfing take advantage of Bluetooth users' tendency to leave Bluetooth on all the time. Internet telephony, meanwhile, is designed for hacking, making it relatively easy for hackers to spoof caller ID for the purpose of identity theft. Another method has allowed a phreaker community to set up a free VoIP service atop an open source private branch exchange system, which one phreaker says gives people the luxury of running "chemistry experiments" on the phone system.

Brandeis University professor Adam Jaffe and Harvard Business School professor Josh Lerner write that Congress' 1982 establishment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and its 1992 mandate that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) charge application and maintenance fees to fund itself have made it simpler to acquire patents, enforce patents against others, and gain major financial payments from such enforcement while simultaneously increasing alleged patent infringers' difficulty in challenging such claims. Observers such as the National Academy of Sciences and the Federal Trade Commission contend that the costs for obtaining, promoting, and defending patents are rising, while the increasing volume of patent applications threatens to inundate examiners and raise the risk of sloppy reviews, massive backlogs, or both. Patent experts concur that the patent system must be reformed so as to improve patent quality, lower uncertainty surrounding the innovation process, and corral the costs of patent application, maintenance, and litigation. Jaffe and Lerner present three proposals to reform the patent system: The creation of incentives and opportunities for parties to challenge the newness and nonobviousness of an invention prior to the PTO's approval of patentability; the institution of a multiple-level application review process that avoids spending money on detailed analysis of trivial patents while ensuring the rigorous examination of high-stakes patents; and the replacement of juries in cases where claims of patent invalidity are based on the existence of prior art with judges who could consult with outside experts or "special masters." The first two proposals would ensure that most patents, which rarely become significant, receive only a cursory examination, while the most potentially important patents would be reviewed thoroughly. The third proposal addresses the fact that mistakes are inevitable in even the most optimal PTO frameworks. Click Here to View Full Article

Digital Signal Processing Techniques and Applications in Radar Image Processing
Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Author(s): Bu-Chin Wang
Published Online: 29 JAN 2008
Print ISBN: 9780470180921
Online ISBN: 9780470377765
Series Editor(s): Russell Hsing, Vincent K. N. Lau
About this Book
A self-contained approach to DSP techniques and applications in radar imaging
The processing of radar images, in general, consists of three major fields: Digital Signal Processing (DSP); antenna and radar operation; and algorithms used to process the radar images. This book brings together material from these different areas to allow readers to gain a thorough understanding of how radar images are processed.
The book is divided into three main parts and covers:
* DSP principles and signal characteristics in both analog and digital domains, advanced signal sampling, and interpolation techniques
Antenna theory (Maxwell equation, radiation field from dipole, and linear phased array), radar fundamentals, radar modulation, and target-detection techniques (continuous wave, pulsed Linear Frequency Modulation, and stepped Frequency Modulation)
Properties of radar images, algorithms used for radar image processing, simulation examples, and results of satellite image files processed by Range-Doppler and Stolt interpolation algorithms
The book fully utilizes the computing and graphical capability of MATLAB? to display the signals at various processing stages in 3D and/or cross-sectional views. Additionally, the text is complemented with flowcharts and system block diagrams to aid in readers' comprehension.
Digital Signal Processing Techniques and Applications in Radar Image Processing serves as an ideal textbook for graduate students and practicing engineers who wish to gain firsthand experience in applying DSP principles and technologies to radar imaging.

"Gluten-free cookies."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup white rice flour
3/4 cup potato starch
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup ground walnuts
These are as good as gluten free baking will get! I added a 1/4 t ground cloves, a 1/8 t nutmeg and a 1/8 t ginger to these to spice them up. They are really good! The batter will be sticky when you're done, so I recommend putting it in the fridge for 15 minutes or so for easier handling.
I made these cookies with potato flour and not potato starch. There is a big difference. When I printed the recipe out awhile ago, that is what the recipe said. As I looked over the recipe again to do the review, the recipe now says potato starch. I feel the review is not indicitive of the recipe now.

Thanks so much for sharing. I added 3/4 of a cup of soaked raisins, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger and nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves and 1 teaspoon of xanthum gum for the texture help. A nutritious and tasty snack.
This is a very tasty recipe. I used butter instead of shortening. I added some chopped dried cranberries to the top before baking, and then dusted with powdered sugar when cool. A festive looking cookie, as well as tasty, for my non-wheat eating friends.
I made these for a teacher with a wheat allergy, and had to sample a couple myself. They are fabulous! This was my first experience making cookies without all-purpose (wheat) flour, and did find the rice flour/potato starch combination create a texture unlike I have ever experienced in a cookie. Very, very good cookies!
My kids declared these "awesome". I did increase the sugar to a full cup, and added 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Would have been better to add chocolate chips, but we didn't have any! :)
I was so delighted with these cookies, thank you to Beulah! They were easy to make and used limited ingredients, had a great texture and taste for a gluten free cookie!
I thought these turned out wonderfully. I omitted the walnuts and replaced them with Chocolate chips. They were a very big hit.

The environmental field is very diverse and there are specialized environmental careers that focus on species conservation, land management, air quality, water quality, soil conservation, policy development, regulatory implementation, or public outreach and education. The environmental program at NKU was founded in the science departments, is housed within the department of Biological Sciences (include weblink here) and focuses primarily on the scientific study of environmental problems and solutions.
There are currently two options for environmental study at NKU: 1) a B.S. in Environmental Science and 2) a minor area of study in Environmental Studies. Environmental Science and Environmental Studies are terms that are often used interchangeably but are truly not the same. To clarify, both are defined below.
Environmental Science
Environmental Science is the discipline that focuses on:
- Understanding the physical, chemical and biological principles underlying the structure and function of our environment;
- Understanding how, and to what extent, human activities have interfered with that structure and function;
- Identifying solutions to existing environmental problems while preventing further environmental degradation.
Environmental Studies
Environmental Studies refers to the research and science associated with human awareness within a defined environment. Classes in Environmental Studies often include developing an understanding between the relationships between humans, along with the impact humans have on their environment. Career influences include global business, negotiations, human resources, and various interdisciplinary research programs.

With 18 million Americans unemployed, thousands from across the country are flocking to North Dakota amid an oil boom there. The state now produces more oil than many members of OPEC and could soon make America the world's top oil producer.
The secretary of defense tries to rewrite history regarding his claim about "suspect sites" of Iraqi WMD. This is the same thing that Ray McGovern nailed him on earlier in May.
"The Daily Show" host does to Rumsfeld exactly what CIA veteran Ray McGovern did last week: throw Rumsfeld's lies back in his face.
From Mother Jones
Ray McGovern, the CIA veteran who publicly challenged Donald Rumsfeld last week, tells Buzz Flash in an in-depth interview that the canned applause that accompanied Rumsfeld's lies reminded McGovern of Cold War-era Russia.
Keith Olbermann presents the uncut version of CIA veteran Ray McGovern's confrontation with Donald Rumsfeld. The MSNBC host uses Rumsfeld's own words to throw his lies back in his face—with the help of Newsweek writer Richard Wolffe.
While almost all media organizations reported that CIA veteran Ray McGovern publicly clashed with Rumsfeld, most labeled him a "heckler" or a "hostile war critic." Few bothered to mention that McGovern was indisputably correct: Rumsfeld's 2003 comments on Iraqi WMD were flat-out false.
From crooksandliars.com
Ray McGovern, the retired CIA veteran who sharply challenged Rumsfeld's war rationales, angrily swatted away CNN's Paula Zahn's questions about McGovern's motives. This was "not a matter of axes to grind. It?s a matter of telling the truth."
The secretary of defense was unable to defend himself when a 27-year CIA veteran confronted him with a false claim Rumsfeld made in 2003 about Iraqi WMDs. Stunning.

Soaring grooves from the legendary KPM Sound Library – a set of tunes that sparkles with all the charm and glamour of early 70s air travel! The title and cover really fit the spirit of the music here – as most of the tracks are upbeat and sky-flying – the sorts of numbers that go way beyond the sleepier side of easy listening, and really show the way that Easy maestros of the 70s were picking up plenty of funky elements in their music! There's no hard funk tracks here – as you might find on other sound library sets – but there's definitely an undercurrent of groove, thanks to some well-chosen rhythms, strong use of electric bass, and an overall sense of flow in most of the orchestrations – a feel that reminds us a lot of some of the excellent Brigade Mondaine compilations from a few years back. The package really offers up a different look than usual at KPM – and the tunes are as classy as anything we might have loved years ago, on the legendary Sound Library collections. Titles include "Sun Lover", "The Great Outdoors", "Husky Birdsong", and "Towards The Sun" by Keith Mansfield; "Holiday People", "Soft Memories", "Gentle Breeze", "Summer Dreams", "Summer Season", and "Friendly Faces" by James Clarke; "Paradise Found" by Dick Doerschuk, "Silk Stream" by David Gold, "Busy Spectacle" and "Fun In The Sun" by Neil Richardson, "Sunseekers" by David Lindup, and "A Tender Touch" by Steve Gray. © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
As a rule, Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

DEFINITION of 'Nasdaq-100 Pre-Market Indicator'
An index of trading activity based on pre-market open prices for the Nasdaq-100. The Nasdaq-100 Pre-Market Indicator (PMI) was developed by nasdaq.com to give traders and investors a big-picture view of market activity based on actual trading data for Nasdaq-100 stocks. The PMI helps investors gauge pre-market trends, based on market reaction to overnight news, and use them to predict opening prices. The PMI uses the same calculation used for the Nasdaq-100 index during regular market hours. It is calculated based on the last sale prices of the Nasdaq-100 stocks during pre-market trading, which takes place from 4 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. EST.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Nasdaq-100 Pre-Market Indicator'
The Nasdaq-100 comprises the top 100 domestic and international non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq in terms of market capitalization. Major industry groups on it include computer hardware and software, biotechnology and telecommunications. The Nasdaq-100 includes some of the best-known companies and brands on the planet such as Amazon.com, Apple, Facebook, Gilead Sciences, Google, Intel, Microsoft and Qualcomm.
Despite its heavy technology weighting, the index is widely considered to be a good overall market barometer because of the Nasdaq-100 constituents' importance to the U.S. and global economy. The Nasdaq-100 PMI is therefore useful to investors as a leading market action indicator during regular trading hours. It also helps traders assess the likely opening price for a stock and the extent of market support for that price.
The Nasdaq-100 PMI is calculated using last sale prices during pre-market trading, but if a Nasdaq-100 security does not trade in the pre-market, the calculation uses the previous day's 4 p.m. close price. The indicator also uses editing logic to filter out bad trades and provide a more accurate reading of market trends.
The Nasdaq-100 PMI, together with the Nasdaq-100 After Hours Indicator (AHI), gives investors and traders valuable insights into extended-hours trading trends.

Arts Midwest and Metropolitan Group are working on a long-term initiative to make arts and culture a more recognized, valued, and expected part of everyday life. As part of that effort, we undertook a national research project to understand public values, behaviors, and attitudes as they relate to arts and culture. The findings and recommendations from this research are detailed in the document below.
Creating Connection: Research Findings and Proposed Message Framework to Build Public Will for Arts and Culture [4.79 MB PDF]
This publication provides key insights on leadership development and takeaways for grantmakers that inform both the field of organizational development, as well as the larger field of arts and culture. Offering a glimpse into ArtsLab's impact, the report identifies the promising professional development practices that catalyze enduring change.
Download the report here, and visit the companion website to watch video interviews with some of the participating organizations.
ArtsLab: Capacity Building and Resilience [2.5 MB PDF]
In January 2010, Arts Midwest staff, members of the Board of Directors, and key stakeholders engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process. The resulting document, our 2012-2014 Strategic Plan, presents updated mission and vision statements, and outlines a set of values that will guide our work over the coming years.
Arts Midwest Strategic Plan 2012 – 2014 [2 MB PDF]
Cultural exchange can have a positive impact on everything from U.S. foreign policy to commerce to our growth as individual participants in a global society. It creates an environment for more effective diplomacy, enriches the education of our children, builds greater acceptance of different cultures within our borders, and prepares us to fully participate in the global economy and society.
Drawing on their own international expertise, the six U.S. Regional Arts Organizations have collaborated on this report to provide a resource to the Obama administration as it develops new initiatives in arts and culture.
GPS for the Arts: Recommitting America to International Cultural Exchange
The View From Here: Recent Pictures from Central Europe and the American Midwest featured 84 photography and photo-based works by 22 contemporary artists from Central Europe and the American Midwest. The works ranged in style from traditional documentary to interpretive to conceptual, revealing the parallels and differences between two regions that share both ethnic heritages, and mid-continental locations.
The 120-page full-color, fully illustrated catalog includes all exhibition images, and a contextual essay.
Hard copies available for the cost of shipping.
Now concluded, Illusions of Eden: Visions of the American Heartland brought to audiences a unique examination of the Midwest's identity as seen through artists' eyes. Organized around five themes—garden, home, work, word, and journey—the exhibition presented approximately 120 paintings and photographs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s by artists living or working in the Midwest. This historical work was juxtaposed with four large contemporary installations by Malcolm Cochran, Maya Lin, Mary Lucier, and Kerry James Marshall, all of whom have ties to the Midwest.
The 280-page full-color, fully illustrated catalog for this exhibition includes all exhibition images, plus essays and interviews in English, German, and Hungarian.
Hard copies available for the cost of shipping.
The result of a collaboration between Arts Midwest, The Wallace Foundation, and authors Mark H. Moore and Gaylen Williams Moore, this 128- page publication examines the role of state arts agencies in our culture. Printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper.

Amid diplomacy, N. Korea continues to threaten war
Its top diplomat travels to Russia, defends tactics
SEOUL — North Korea warned yesterday that it is ready for an all-out war even as it dispatched its top diplomat to Russia amid a flurry of regional diplomatic efforts to defuse tensions over the North's deadly artillery attack on South Korea.
North Korea's foreign minister, Pak Ui Chun, left for Russia, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a one-sentence report. No details were given, but on Friday, Pak accused South Korea and the United States of pursuing a policy of hostility and confrontation and reiterated that North Korea needs its nuclear program to fend them off.
"We once again feel convinced that we have made the right choice in strengthening our defenses with the nuclear deterrent,'' the Russian news agency Interfax quoted him as saying in an interview.
The North's National Peace Committee also claimed that the United States and South Korea are pushing the situation on the Korean peninsula close to all-out war.
"The army and people of the [North] are ready for both escalated war and an all-out war,'' the committee said in a statement carried by North Korea's official news agency. "They will deal merciless retaliatory blows at the provocateurs and aggressors and blow up their citadels and bases.''
The harsh rhetoric comes two days after North Korean leader Kim Jong Il met in Pyongyang with Chinese State Councilor Dai Bingguo, Beijing's top foreign policy official. The two reached consensus on the situation on the Korean peninsula during candid and in-depth talks, China's official Xinhua News Agency said, without elaborating.
It was not clear whether the two discussed the North's Nov. 23 artillery attack on a South Korean island near the Koreas' disputed western sea border. The barrage killed four South Koreans, including two civilians.
China has been under intense international pressure to use its diplomatic clout to rein in North Korea, its ally.
On Friday, China briefed South Korea on Dai's meeting with Kim through a diplomatic channel, a South Korean Foreign Ministry official said, noting that North Korea's position appeared to remain unchanged. He did not elaborate and asked not to be identified because of the issue's sensitivity.
In Beijing, top Chinese nuclear envoy Wu Dawei gave his Japanese counterpart, Akitaka Saiki, a "detailed'' briefing about Dai's talks with Kim, Japan's Kyodo News agency reported, citing Saiki.
Saiki declined to give further details, Kyodo said yesterday.
Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico is to visit North Korea this coming week, raising the prospect of a diplomatic resolution to the tensions. He is to depart from the United States on Tuesday.
The diplomatic trouble-shooter has made regular visits to North Korea and has also hosted North Korean officials in New Mexico. He helped win the release of Americans held in North Korea in the 1990s and traveled to Pyongyang in 2007 to recover remains of US servicemen killed in the Korean War.
The flurry of diplomacy comes as South Korea's president, Lee Myung Bak, expressed optimism during a trip to Malaysia that the reunification of Korea is drawing near.
"North Korea now remains one of the most belligerent nations in the world,'' Lee said in an interview published Friday in a Malaysian newspaper. But, he added, it's a "fact that the two Koreas will have to coexist peacefully and, in the end, realize reunification.''
In a speech Thursday night, Lee made similar remarks, saying North Koreans have become increasingly aware that the South is better off. He did not elaborate on how their knowledge has expanded, but said it was "an important change that no one can stop.''
"Reunification is drawing near,'' Lee said, according to the president's website.
He also called on China to urge North Korea to embrace the same economic openness that has led millions of Chinese out of poverty — and said that North Korean economic independence was the key to reunification.
Lee didn't give a specific timeframe for the reunification of the Korean peninsula, which was divided after the end of Japanese rule in 1945 and officially remains in a state of war because the Koreas' 1950-53 conflict ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

Astoria Broadway Mexican notes
- 5 Comments
- Follow
- Tacos Mexico (38th and Broadway) isn't uniformly good, but when they're firing on all cylinders, they can do some mighty good things. The (steamed) cabeza and lengua are consistently decent. The birria is tender and flavorful, but not overcooked to where it's falling apart. The al pastor was best of all: a great mix of thicknesses, of tender and charred, crispy bits, and seasoned like the shawarma it's derived from. Many of the neighborhood gyros makers (BZ Grill excepted) could learn a thing or two from them. On past visits, I've had bland barbacoa and dried-out carne enchilada and cecina, so you've got to be willing to take your chances. Though the sides are fine, I think their dish-to-dish inconsistency makes tacos and other antojitos a good strategy: order a few different meats and some are bound to be good that day.
- Cruz Mexican Products, the grocery on 41st just off Steinway, has a little dining room tucked in back and a little party room behind that. I had a respectable but unremarkable torta de lengua, but I'll need to try more to get a good read on the place.
- The Mexican deli/grocery next to the newsstand on Broadway at 46th has just-okay tortas with precooked meat pulled from a steam table, nothing to get excited about. However, the tamales piled in a crock pot behind the counter are wonderful. Get the green ones and the mole ones in the morning while they're fresh from some neighborhood kitchen. At $1.25 each they're my current pick for breakfast-on-the-run near the 46th St. G/R/V stop.
I prefer the Mexican grocery on 29th Street, just south of 30th Avenue. You can find more info by seaching "mexican" and "astoria" on chowhound. They have really great tamales, and I enjoy their burritos, tacos, tortas, etc. Also, try the food truck that parks next to the rite-aid on 30th avenue, around 33rd Street (only around at night). Very good. I still frequent Tacos Mexico, but the above are, at worst, comparable.
re: destroyer
..and I live closer to Broadway these days, so I don't get up to 30th all the time. And when I do, Sorriso's, Gian Piero, the cevabdzinici and and all the Middle Eastern stuff jostle for attention... :)
Any standout meats at the grocery or on 29th or at the taco truck? Does the grocery make its own tortillas?
re: hatless
i LOVE the chorizo at the taco truck. but again, i am their biggest fan and i will happily gobble up anything they make! the grocery- would it original mexican? they are really good too- and i second their great tamales. i scanned in their menu too for easy access from anywhere!
i agree with your opinion except for the BZ grill part
there pork gyro is not seasoned at all
can you please tell me what to Order because everytime i go
there i find there food to be very bland!!!!!
i like the pita breadat times
but i havent gone in a while because i just dont like it0-
re: pcorntail
It's about texture: crispy bits, juicy bits, thick bits, thin bits, tenderness and char in every bite. That's what sets the best gyros (and burgers, and doner, and shawarma, and Carolina-style chopped-pork sandwiches) apart for me. You can season meat divinely, but if it goes from the spit to the plate uniformly sliced, uniformly crustless and rubbery, it's not gonna do it for me.
Different strokes for different folks.

Pronunciation: /ˈnerədəˌvīz/
Definition of narrativize in English:
Present or interpret (something such as experience or theory) in the form of a story or narrative.
Example sentences
- As others have pointed out, narrativizing the event is different from storytelling.
- Nevertheless the overdetermining nature of violence means each event is quickly narrativized into the logic of patriots, martyrs or betrayals.
- Indeed, the novel narrativizes the reception of the almanac in such a way as to keep it from being the property of only one nation or imagined community.
Definition of narrativize in:
- British & World English dictionary

Thank you for sharing your feelings with these great photos..I have a heavy heart also when I think of my mom, two sisters and aunt I lost from 1988 - 1992...was awful, but God was by my side and brought me through. He was with me also when I had my bout with cancer, but I am a five year survivor and can relate with compassion to others. That's what He intended. Enjoy the beauty of the snow and be thankful for your ability to capture it's beauty and share with others. :)
