Yahya Abdul-Aziz Jemus Junkung Jammeh (born 25 May 1965)[3] is the president of the Gambia. As a young army officer, he took power in a 1994 military coup.
He was elected as President in 1996; he was re-elected in 2001, 2006, and 2011.
President Jammeh received a secondary school education in Bwiam. Jammeh joined the Gambian National Army in 1984, was commissioned a Lieutenant in 1989, and in 1992 became commander of the Gambian Military Police.[4] He received extensive military training in neighboring Senegal and at United States Army School of the Americas.[citation needed]
Rise to power[edit]
On 22 July 1994, a group of young officers in the Gambian National Army seized power from President Sir Dawda Jawara in a military coup by taking control of key facilities in the capital city, Banjul.[5] The coup took place without bloodshed and met with very little resistance.[5] The group identified itself as the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC), with the 29 year old Jammeh as its chairman.[5]
The AFPRC then suspended the constitution, sealed the borders, and implemented a curfew. While Jammeh's new government justified the coup by decrying corruption and lack of democracy under the Jawara regime, army personnel had also been dissatisfied with their salaries, living conditions, and prospects for promotion.[5]
Jammeh founded the Alliance for Patriotic Reorientation and Construction as his political party. He was elected as president in September 1996.[6] Foreign observers did not deem these elections free and fair.[6] He was re-elected on 18 October 2001 with about 53% of the vote; this election was generally deemed free and fair by observers,[7] despite some very serious shortcomings ranging from overt government intimidation of voters to technical innovations (such as raising the required deposit to stand for election by a factor of 25) to distort the process in favour of the incumbent regime.[8]
A coup attempt against Jammeh was reported to have been thwarted on 21 March 2006; Jammeh, who was in Mauritania at the time, quickly returned home. Army chief of staff Col. Ndure Cham, the alleged leader of the plot,[9] reportedly fled to neighboring Senegal, while other alleged conspirators were arrested[10] and were put on trial for treason.[11] In April 2007, ten former officers accused of involvement were convicted and given prison sentences; four of them were sentenced to life in prison.[12]
Jammeh ran for a third term in the presidential election held on 22 September 2006; the election was initially planned for October but was moved forward because of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.[citation needed] He was re-elected with 67.3% of the vote and was declared the winner of the election; the opposition candidate Ousainou Darboe finished second, as in 2001.[13]
In November 2011, Jammeh was again re-elected as president for a fourth term in office, reportedly having received 72% of the popular vote.
Senegal peace talks[edit]
According to The Daily Observer, on 10 December 2012, Jammeh secured the release of Senegalese soldiers who had been held as hostages by rebels in Senegal.[14] He sent a delegation to meet with Senegalese President Mackey Sall in early December 2012. The delegation's goal was to discuss a resolution to the ongoing civil unrest in Senegal's southern region of Cassamance.[15] Members of the delegation included the Minister of Presidential Affairs, the U.S. Ambassador to the Gambia, and members from the Red Cross and Red Crescent.[15]
Jammeh Foundation for Peace[edit]
The Jammeh Foundation for Peace (JFP) was created by Jammeh to help eradicate poverty among Gambians, improve agricultural production, and sponsor educational opportunities for needy students. The foundation has a hospital that is sponsored by the president and provides medical services to the general public.[16]
Charitable giving[edit]
Donations in 2012 included $2,563,138 to the National Youths Conference and Festival (NAYCONF),[17] and "two truckloads of turkey" to the Gambia Christian Council for delivery to the Christian community.[18]
On May 15, 2008, Jammeh announced that his government would introduce legislation that would set laws against homosexuals that would be "stricter than those in Iran", and that he would "cut off the head" of any gay or lesbian person discovered in the country.[19] News reports indicated his government intended to execute all homosexuals in the country.[19] In the speech given in Tallinding, Jammeh gave a "final ultimatum" to any gays or lesbians in the Gambia to leave the country.[19]
In a speech to the United Nations on September 27, 2013, Jammeh said that "[h]omosexuality in all its forms and manifestations which, though very evil, antihuman as well as anti-Allah, is being promoted as a human right by some powers," and that those who do so "want to put an end to human existence."[20]
On February 18, 2014, Jammeh called homosexuals "vermins" by saying that "We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively,". He also went on to disparage the LGBT by saying that "As far as I am concerned, LGBT can only stand for Leprosy, Gonorrhoea, Bacteria and Tuberculosis; all of which are detrimental to human existence".[21][22]
Claims of medical treatments and cures[edit]
In January 2007, Jammeh claimed he could cure HIV/AIDS and asthma with natural herbs.[23][24] His claimed treatment program includes instructing patients to cease taking their anti-retroviral drugs.[25][26] His claims have been criticized for promoting unscientific treatment that could have dangerous results, due to the belief that those discharged from his program cannot infect others.[23][24] In December 2011, he restated during an interview that the alleged cure for HIV/AIDS was "going very well".[27]
Fadzai Gwaradzimba, the country representative of the United Nations Development Programme in the Gambia, was told to leave the country after she expressed doubts about the claims and said the remedy might encourage risky behaviour.[28] In August 2007, Jammeh claimed to have developed a single dose herbal infusion that could treat high blood pressure.[29] Jammeh has also claimed to develop a treatment for infertility in women as part of what is called the President's Alternative Treatment Program (PATP).[30][31][32]
Historical claims[edit]
According to the Daily Observer newspaper, Jammeh claimed on 26 July 2010, that the Gambia had played an important role in the aviation industry, specifically, "that the first Atlantic flight and the first flight from Eastern Europe landed in the Gambia."[33] At the same time Jammeh also stated that "this country is one of the oldest and biggest countries in Africa that was reduced to a small snake by the British government who sold all our lands to the French."[33]
In 1996, Jammeh institutionalized The International Roots Festival. Since then, the festival has attracted hundreds of Africans from the Diaspora to the Gambia to reconnect with their African Ancestry and to immerse themselves in the culture of Africa and to come back to their roots.[34] In 2011, Jammeh renamed James Island to Kunta Kinte Island at the request of American Artist Chaz Guest.
President Jammeh, like the majority of Gambians,[3] is a practising Muslim.[35]
In July 2010, Jammeh stressed that people should believe in God: "If you don't believe in God, you can never be grateful to humanity and you are even below a pig."[36]
In 2011 he told the BBC, "I will deliver to the Gambian people and if I have to rule this country for one billion years, I will, if Allah says so."[37]
Restrictions to press freedom[edit]
Jammeh has been accused of restricting freedom of the press. Harsh new press laws were followed by the unsolved killing of Deyda Hydara, editor of The Point tabloid. Hydara, who had been mildly critical of the Jammeh regime, was brutally gunned down in December 2004.[38]
Alhagie Martin, one of Jammeh's closest military aides, has been named in connection with Hydara's killing. It has, however, not been possible to verify the allegation linking Martin with Hydara's slaying. It is widely believed that Jammeh is responsible for Hydara's murder.[38] Jammeh has denied that security agents were involved in the killing.[39]
In April 2004 he called on journalists to obey his government "or go to hell". In June 2005 he stated on radio and television that he has allowed "too much expression" in the country.[40]
In July 2006, journalist Ebrima Manneh of The Daily Observer was reportedly arrested by state security after attempting to republish a BBC report criticizing Jammeh shortly before an African Union meeting in Banjul; his arrest was witnessed by coworkers.[41] Though ordered to release Manneh by an Economic Community of West African States court, the Gambian government denied that Manneh was imprisoned.[42]
According to AFP, an unnamed police source confirmed Manneh's arrest in April 2009, but added he believed Manneh "is no longer alive".[42] Amnesty International named Manneh a prisoner of conscience and a 2011 "priority case".[43] The Committee to Protect Journalists has also called for his release.[41]
Alleged human rights abuses[edit]
Shooting of students[edit]
On 10 and 11 April 2000, the government was accused in the killing of 12 students and a journalist during a student demonstration to protest the death of a student in the Gambia. Jammeh was accused of ordering the shooting of the students, but the government denied the allegations. A government commission of inquiry reportedly concluded that the Police Intervention Unit (PIU) officers were "largely responsible" for many of the deaths and other injuries.[44]
The commission also said that five soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Battalion were responsible for the deaths of two students at Brikama. The government stated that the report implicated several PIU officers in the students' deaths and injuries, but those responsible were not prosecuted.[44]
Disappearances and imprisonments[edit]
Newspaper reports list dozens of individuals who have disappeared after being picked up by men in plain-clothes, and others who have languished under indefinite detention for months or years without charge or trial.[45] The regional Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) court ordered the Gambia government to produce one journalist who was disappeared.[46][47][48]
Witch hunting campaign[edit]
In March 2009 Amnesty International reported that up to 1,000 Gambians had been abducted by government-sponsored "witch doctors" on charges of witchcraft, and taken to detention centers where they were forced to drink poisonous concoctions.[49] On 21 May 2009, The New York Times reported that the alleged witch-hunting campaign had been sparked by the President Yahya Jammeh, who believed that the death of his aunt earlier that year could be attributed to witchcraft.[50]
Massacre of migrants[edit]
Jammeh has also been linked with the 2004 massacre of 44 Ghanaian migrants and 10 other ECOWAS nationals.[51][52][53]
Death penalty[edit]
Though previously regarded by Amnesty International as "abolitionist in practice", having had no executions since 1985,[54] on 27 August 2012, the Gambian government confirmed that nine prisoners were executed by firing squad.[55] This followed President Jammeh's stated intention to carry out all death penalties before mid-September amid protests from the European Union countries and others.[56]
Personal life[edit]
Jammeh's first marriage ended in divorce.[57] Jammeh married his second wife Zeinab Suma Jammeh, in 1999.[57] They have two children as of 2007, a daughter, Mariam Jammeh, and a son, Muhammed Yahya Jammeh. The latter was born in late 2007, when his daughter was eight years old.[58]
Both of his children were born in Washington, D. C., and U.S. citizenship recognition was requested for the first child – but her request was denied (because, as a child of a foreign person holding diplomatic exemption status, she was not considered subject to the jurisdiction of the United States when born, as is required for birthright citizenship in the United States).[59]
On 30 September 2010, Jammeh announced his marriage to a 21-year-old (or possibly 18-year-old[1]) additional wife by the name Alima Sallah, daughter of Omar Gibril Sallah, Gambia's current Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and Zahra Sallah.[57][60] It was announced that his new wife would officially be referred to as Lady Alima Yahya Jammeh, and would not be referred to as a "first lady", since Zeinab Suma Jammeh is the official "first lady".[60]
According to at least one source, his marriage to Ms. Sallah was a shock to his other wife Zeinab Suma Jammeh, and the additional marriage led to strains in their relationship and even plans for their divorce.[61] Zeinab Jammeh had reportedly already been living in the U.S. separately from her husband for some time.[61] Ms. Sallah reportedly also left Gambia for the U.S. in June 2010.[61] According to the same publication, he then divorced Ms. Sallah in early 2011.[1][2]
Titles and styles[edit]
The official title used is His Excellency Sheikh Professor Alhaji Dr. Yahya Abdul-Aziz Awal Jemus Junkung Jammeh Naasiru Deen Babili Mansa.[62] He is Commander In Chief of The Armed Forces and Chief Custodian of the Sacred Constitution of the Gambia.[63]
Awards and honors[edit]
Jammeh has received Honorary Doctorates from St. Mary's College of Maryland,[64] Universidad Empresarial de Costa Rica, Norman Academy,[65] and National Taipei University of Technology.[66]
He has received awards through the unrecognised higher education accreditation organisation the International Parliament for Safety and Peace, including a peace award,[67] the honorary title of Kentucky colonel[68] and the tongue-in-cheek award of Nebraska Admiral[69][70][71][72] Jennifer Rae Hein, a spokeswoman for the Governor of Nebraska, acknowledged that Jammeh was granted an admiralship in the Nebraska Navy,[73] but later stated "We regret that this individual has attempted to embellish a certificate for a Nebraska admiralship, claiming that it was a high honor bestowed upon him by the governor, when to the best of our knowledge, this person has no relationship with or ties to Nebraska.

If so, it could not be far from Gilead, the country of Jephthah. This country is called Tobie or Tubin, 1; Mac Heb 5:13; and the Jews who inhabited this district Tubieni, 2; Mac Heb 12:17. Sa2 10:6.

Jephthah uttered: That is, upon his elevation, he immediately retired to his devotion, and in prayer spread the whole matter before God, both his choice to the office, and his execution of the office, as one that had his eye ever toward the Lord, and would do nothing without him; that leaned not to his own understanding or courage, but depended on the Almighty God, and his favour. This is an ensample worthy of universal imitation; in All Our Ways, whether great or apparently subordinate, let us acknowledge God and seek his direction. So shall we make our way prosperous, and obtain that peace which passeth all understanding. Jephthah opened his campaign with prayer.

But when: The whole of these messages shew, Jephthah had well studied the book of Moses. His arguments also are very clear and cogent, and his demands reasonable; for he only required that the Ammonites should cease to harass a people who had neither injured them, nor intended to do so.

And they: Deu 2:36
from the wilderness: From Arabia Deserta on the east, to Jordan on the west.
Jephthah shews that the Israelites did not take the land of the Moabites or Ammonites, but that of the Amorites, which they had conquered from Sihon their king; and although the Amorites had taken the lands in question from the Ammonites, yet the title by which Israel held them was good, because they took them, not from the Ammonites, but from the Amorites.
Wilt not thou possess: This is simply an argumentum ad hominem; in which Jephthah argues on this principles recognized by the king of Ammon. As if he had said, "You suppose that the land which you possess was given you by your god Chemosh; and therefore will not relinquish what you believe you hold by a divine right. Now we know that Jehovah, our God, has given us the land of the Israelites; and therefore we will not give it up."

Unless understood in this way, or as the marginal reading, it must have been the vow of a heathen or a madman. If a dog, or other uncleaned animal had met him, he could not have made it a burnt offering; or if his neighbour's wife, sons, etc., his vow gave him no right over them.

go up and down: Heb. go and go down
did with: That Jephthah did not sacrifice his daughter, but consecrated her to the service of God in the tabernacle, in a state of celibacy, will we imagine be evident from the following consideration -
1. Human sacrifices were ever an abomination to Jehovah, of which Jephthah could not be ignorant; and consequently he would neither have made such a vow, nor carried it into execution.
2. We are expressly told (Jdg 11:29) that Jephthah was under the influence of the Spirit of God, which would effectually prevent him from embruing his hands in the blood of his own child.
3. He had it in his power to redeem his daughter (Lev 27:4); and surely his only child must have been of more value than thirty shekles.
4. Besides, who was to perform the horrid rite? Not Jephthah himself, who was no priest, and in whom it would have been most unnatural and inhuman; and the priests would certainly have dissuaded him from it.
5. The sacred historian informs us, that she bewailed her virginity, that she knew no man, and that the Israelitish women went yearly to comfort or lament with her. Jdg 11:31; Lev 27:28, Lev 27:29; Deu 12:31; Isa 66:3

Hello mathstud,
And what about a ?
chrozer : do you have more info about a ?
To get the solutions, the real solutions i mean (we'll assume this all along), it has to be such as x-5>0 that is to say x>5.
Study the roots of the trinomial :
If there are no real solutions.
If the only solution is wich is an extraneous solution as
Hello, chrozer!
What kinds of solutions would be extraneous when solving for in this equation:
I got up to , but I don't know what to do next.
Quadratic Formula: .
There are two roots, one of them is: .
The radical is: .
This makes negative, an extraneous root.
. . [We cannot have the log of a negative quantity.]
Hence, the only root is: .
. . The other is always extraneous.
What I was doing was not showing you the extraneous answer in this problem but what would make an extraneous answer...because if we got a number x such that x-5<0 then we would have a problem because we would have lets say x=-3 then we would have since its well known that
Oh ok. I didn't know that .
Why did you get rid of the in the equation in the radical part?
I also asked someone else about this question and he explained it this way:
If the roots of this equation were to be real,
If , the solution wouldn't be real.
Would this be right?
Because he wants to compare it to 5, as the equation is defined if and only if x>5.
As 4*10^a is always positive, 25+4*10^a is always superior to 25, so sqrt(25+4*10^a) is always superior to sqrt(25)=5.
Hence x1 is always superior to (5+5)/2=5
And x2 is always inferior to (5-5)/2=0
So the first one is a real solution, the second one an extraneous solution

Beam Us Up
Why did Star Trek get to film at a secret government laser facility?
- By Stephen I. SchwartzStephen I. Schwartz is editor of the Nonproliferation Review at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies.
If scientists and officials at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California seem a little starstruck these days, there's a good reason: The lab's massive National Ignition Facility, or NIF, has something of a starring role in Star Trek Into Darkness, which opened nationwide last Thursday. "For many years, we've been waiting for 'Star Trek' to realize that they should be here," NIF principal associate director Ed Moses told Live Science. "This is a very futuristic facility… and I think we've all been influenced by Star Trek's vision of the future."
The film's director, J.J. Abrams, and its stars have been similarly enthusiastic about the opportunity to film at the classified facility. "We were there just trying to shoot a movie, but all around us, these innovative scientists are working on technologies that will likely help the whole world," said Abrams. "The idea that one day the research at NIF could create clean, limitless energy is so exciting…. These people are doing research that could alter the destiny of the planet the way the wheel or the light bulb did."
Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays a villain and is evidently something of a science nerd, told a reporter that NIF "is trying to create hydrogen fusion by using lasers fired at extraordinary speeds through various lenses. If they can hit this target of hydrogen — which is half the breadth of a human hair in this huge cell — they will create this alternate energy supply which could power San Francisco for a year with one burst."
And John Cho, who plays helmsman Hikaru Sulu, has told reporters somewhat sheepishly how he and co-star Karl Urban (who plays Dr. Leonard McCoy) were pranked by their cast mates and the crew into smearing white "neutron cream" on their noses and cheeks to neutralize the radiation emitted by NIF, and to jump up and down frequently while shaking their hands "to shake the neutrons out." (Cumberbatch tells a similar story.)
But all the glowing praise and tales of Hollywood hijinks are misleading the public about NIF's true purpose while also masking a very troubling reality, one that lab officials — and their federal overseers at the National Nuclear Security Administration and the Department of Energy (DOE) — would clearly prefer not to discuss: NIF is not designed to produce "clean, limitless energy," it is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget, it has thus far failed to ignite the fusion reaction for which it was built, and there is a growing acceptance that it probably will never be able to generate a fusion reaction that produces more energy than was required to initiate it.
NIF is essentially an extremely large, very powerful laser. It was designed to produce a 500-trillion-watt pulse focused on a single, small cylindrical gold-plated target (called a hohlraum), heating it very rapidly and causing it to radiate intense X-rays. Those X-rays, in turn, trigger ignition of a two-millimeter capsule of frozen deuterium-tritium fuel that surrounds a tiny amount of deuterium-tritium gas, producing a self-sustaining fusion reaction more energetic than the pulse that initiated the process. (Each firing of the laser requires 1,000-times more energy than the United States consumes at any given moment.)
All the components are housed in a building large enough to contain three football fields. The NIF's 287,000-pound, 10-meter-diameter spherical target chamber — into which 192 laser beamlines converge — stands in for the warp core of the USS Enterprise in the film. (Although it looks nothing like the warp cores previously featured in any of the television or film incarnations of Star Trek, it is convincing, perhaps because it is real. And as NIF officials have pointed out, the Enterprise's faster-than-light warp engines also run on deuterium fuel.)
NIF is a successor to Livermore's earlier Nova laser (which also failed to achieve ignition). Conceived in the early 1990s and funded out of DOE's weapons activities account — not the science or energy account — as the centerpiece of the department's new Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program, NIF was supposed to simulate the temperatures and densities at the very earliest stages of the ignition of a thermonuclear bomb. This, in turn, would verify and improve complex computer simulations, facilitate a better understanding of how modified or aging weapons materials would behave, and allow the United States to test the reliability of nuclear weapons without actually blowing them up. (Congress halted underground nuclear explosions in September 1992.)
The program began in 1994 with an estimated budget of about $1.1 billion (with another $1 billion for research and development) and a projected completion date in 2002. However, a variety of significant construction and engineering challenges delayed completion and rapidly drove up the costs (facts that the NIF managers withheld from Congress and the secretary of energy for years). A DOE review in 2000 increased the budget estimate to $3.3 billion and pushed back completion to 2006. A 2000 General Accounting Office (GAO) assessment pegged the cost at $3.9 billion and was not optimistic about the anticipated completion date. In a report the following year, the GAO estimated the cost to completion at $4.2 billion, and a completion date of 2008. Construction was formally finished in 2009, and initial experiments began the following year.
While NIF has conducted more than 1,000 laser "shots" and set multiple records for laser power — including a 500-terawatt shot on July 5, 2012 — the latest goal of achieving ignition by October 1, 2012 (set in 2009) came and went. For reasons unknown, the laser's energy is only generating pressures in the target of 150 billion times the Earth's atmosphere — about half of what is required for ignition. Moses told the San Francisco Chronicle earlier this month that he cannot predict when — or if — ignition will ever be achieved. "Our goal is of course ignition," he said. "The goal is to get there or understand why you don't." Moses estimates that total costs have reached $5 billion, although a local grassroots watchdog organization asserts costs are closer to $7.5 billion, because the laboratory has been allowed to charge some of NIF's costs to other programs. NIF's current annual costs are at least $400 million. (By comparison, the estimated budget for Star Trek Into Darkness was $190 million.)
It's worth noting that this is not the first time that Star Trek has repurposed actual nuclear hardware. The 1996 film Star Trek: First Contact shot some scenes at the Titan Missile Museum near Tucson, Arizona, where a fiberglass shell covering a decommissioned Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile stood in for the Phoenix, Earth's first warp-capable spaceship.
Although NIF's weapons-related role may be fading, thanks to growing congressional frustration with slipping deadlines, a failure to achieve its primary objective, and the budgetary effects of sequestration, Star Trek has given some NIF personnel a brief bit of glory, albeit in a way that foreshadows a less than rosy future. As Simon Pegg, who plays Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott ("Scotty"), explained to io9.com, "All of those guys with red shirts in the warp core [are] all just guys from NIF who just wanted to be in Star Trek. Bruno [Van Wonterghem], the project leader there, who is the guy who will discover fusion and will go down as the next Edison" is in the background. If Moses, Van Wonterghem, and their colleagues are true Trek aficionados, the irony won't be lost on them. In Star Trek lore, anonymous crewmembers wearing red shirts are usually the first to die.
On the other hand, the film's probable box office success makes it likely there will be future installments. Which means NIF, whose slogan is "Bringing star power to Earth," could live on as possibly the world's most expensive movie set — and its employees could continue to work as extras, trading one kind of star power for another.

Don't Let Kim Jong Un Blow Atomic Smoke in Your Eyes
North Korea would like nothing more than for the U.S. and its allies to hyperventilate over the North's third test of a nuclear device. Indeed, with two satellite-cum-missile launches and one nuclear test during his first year in power, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has already displayed an appetite for foreign-policy brinksmanship that goes beyond the political need to show his people that he's large and in charge.
That said, there is good reason for the U.S. to remain calm and carry on, building a united front with the new governments in South Korea and Japan, trying to bring the Chinese along and then strengthening and refining sanctions through the United Nations.
First and most important, North Korea is unlikely to abandon its provocative behavior. In fact, tighter UN sanctions will likely lead to "high-level secondary and third measures," as the Korean Central News Agency put it in an official statement. Two tunnels were being prepared for nuclear tests, and only one has just been used (though it's possible that the other was a decoy). The North will not give up its nuclear weapons, which it sees as the best insurance for regime survival; more tests are needed to create a reliable warhead that can be mounted on missiles. It seeks recognition as a nuclear state and peace talks with the U.S. on that basis.
China's real fears about the destabilizing effect of the North's nuclear quest are still secondary to its fears about a weakened ally, not least the strategic and humanitarian consequences of that ally's collapse. In their eyes, the North is alternately a problem to be managed or a card to be played in Northeast Asia's evolving power struggle: As one influential Chinese pundit recently suggested, in a dark analysis that linked the territorial spat between Japan and China to tensions on the Korean peninsula, "If America wants to play the Japanese card against China, then China needs to play the North Korean nuclear card on America." China may not be happy about Kim Jong Un's radioactive gambit, but it will strive, as it has in the past, to water down new sanctions and go along with the bare minimum.
Here's how the U.S. can raise the bar for the Chinese: First, don't hype President Barack Obama's description of the North's nuclear test as a "threat to U.S. national security." That may be true, but it plays into the North's rhetoric of the U.S. as its "enemy." Instead, emphasize that the North's behavior violates the expressed will of the United Nations Security Council and undermines the global nonproliferation regime -- That's easier for China, a P-5 member, to support. Second, forge the strongest possible united front with the South Koreans and the Japanese. Third, make clear to the Chinese that North Korea's WMD plans will make it imperative for the U.S. to expand its missile defense umbrella over Japan and South Korea and its overall military and security presence. Fourth, hint at the possibility of additional U.S. financial sanctions outside the UN framework that could hit Chinese firms with a U.S. presence. China needs to know that it will pay a growing price for in effect enabling North Korea's destabilizing actions.
Still, if sanctions are unlikely to change North Korea's behavior, why pursue them? Because they not only slow down the North's pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, but can also curb its mutually beneficial ties with Iran, Syria, Cuba and other unsavory regimes. That's why North Korea put up a howl about the prospect of ship searches contained in the tighter sanctions passed last month. The U.S. should also discourage Egypt, Libya, Yemen and other past Middle Eastern buyers of North Korean weapons from pursuing future transactions.
But sanctions without diplomacy are just the sound of one hand slapping. To get out of the current tit-for-tat stalemate, the U.S. needs to abandon its pre-condition that the North give up its nuclear weapons program before the U.S. will negotiate a permanent peace treaty. And it needs to pursue sanctions that focus on the North's dangerous behavior, not on discouraging its healthy commercial and cultural engagement with the outside world.

Willis Tower Keeps "Tallest Building" Title For Another Day | NBC Chicago
Don't they have lots of criteria to determine the tallest building, such as tallest observatory? Surely there is some way that you can keep your title.
Neg rep for calling it the Willis Tower. :wink:
I don't have an article to back me up but it is a completely screwed up system to judge the height of buildings. If the antennae has a purpose (TV signal, cell signal, etc) then it does not count towards the height. If it is done for aesthetics it will count as a part of the building. Very odd.
Yeah, I remember this being a big stink here in Chicago as the first building that surpassed the (then Sears) Willis Tower was considered taller, because of some decorative spire they put on it, even though, the Sears Tower still had a couple of floors advantage on it. If I were the Owners of the Willis Tower now, I'd be at an architectural firm right now, coming up with a big decoration to stick on the top of it.
There have been numerous building plans for Chicago buildings that would top Willis/Sears that have stalled, at one point Trump Tower was supposed to be taller but ended up second in the US to Sears. I wouldn't be shocked if a new Chicago building has at least the US record again even if Sears/Willis retained it for now.
I was walking about two blocks from the Sears Tower when I learned about the World Trade Center attacks. Needless to say, I picked up my pace and kept an eye looking upward for planes. And I remember thinking that it was the end of super high-rise buildings because the market wouldn't support the risk. Glad I was wrong. And really cool that it is happening at the World Trade Center site.
what the hell is a foursquare mayor?
Check out this behemoth. It has run into some financial problems and the project is on hold right now. There is a giant hold already dug and the foundation has been set. It's a few blocks from Navy Pier. 150 freaking stories...it would certainly be a thing of beauty if it ever starts up again.

Dallas Stars defender Mattias Norstrom (4) and San Jose Sharks right wing Jonathan Cheechoo (14) battle for puck as Dallas goalie Marty Turco, left, looks on in the third period of their NHL hockey game Sunday, April 6, 2008, in Dallas. Dallas won the game 4-2. (AP Photo/Tim Sharp) |
From the AP Wire
DALLAS (AP) -- Stars defenseman Mattias Norstrom doesn't mind rough-and-tumble games, especially when he scores the winning goal.
Norstrom's rare goal put his team ahead for good late in the second period as the Dallas Stars rallied to beat the San Jose Sharks 4-2 on Sunday in a physical regular-season finale that included 160 penalty minutes, 95 for the Sharks.
The game meant nothing to either team in terms of the final standings, but a physical tone was set early with a series of fights that contributed to a playoff feel.
"Once in a while a game like that is fun," Norstrom said. "We showed we're professionals and have personal pride. We weren't going to take it easy on them and they did the same. We both showed up to battle."
Dallas erased a 2-0 deficit on goals by Antti Miettinen, Stu Barnes and Norstrom in the final 10 minutes of the second period.
With the game tied at 2 and the Stars with an extra attacker on a delayed Sharks penalty, Norstrom fired Toby Petersen's cross-ice pass into an open net with 13 seconds remaining in the second period for Norstrom's second goal of the season and 18th in 14 seasons.
"It was a great pass by Toby to set me up," Norstrom said. "We didn't have a lot going for us early, but coming back from two goals down, it's great to have that character in our team."
Steve Ott's 11th goal of the season, a blast from the right circle with 1:22 left, extended Dallas' lead to 4-2.
Patrick Marleau and Jonathan Cheechoo had power-play goals for the Sharks, who closed out the regular season with consecutive losses following an 18-0-2 run that earned them the Pacific Division title and No. 2 seed in the Western Conference playoffs.
San Jose will play seventh-seeded Calgary in the first round of the playoffs.
Brenden Morrow had two assists and Marty Turco stopped 32 shots for the Stars, who ended the regular season in a 4-8-2 tailspin that pushed them out of first place in the Pacific and into the No. 5 playoff seed. Dallas faces No. 4 Anaheim in the first round, and the Stars expect a rough series against the Ducks.
"The physical element is a huge part of what's coming up," Stars defenseman Philippe Boucher said. "We showed we're willing to hit hard and play physical. It was good to see."
There were 105 penalty minutes in the first period, 57 to the Sharks who collected three 10-minute misconducts and three fighting majors. Dallas' Stephane Robidas received a game misconduct and a five-minute major for checking from behind during the opening 20 minutes.
Joe Thornton, Alexei Semenov, and Jody Shelley of San Jose, and Trevor Daley of Dallas all received misconduct penalties in the opening period. Shelley was assessed a game misconduct in the second period.
"It got heated," Shelley said. "Once the playoffs start, all that stuff that happened today will be forgotten. Of course, if we play (Dallas) in the second round, it will all resurface."
The Sharks took exception when Ott traded punches with Thornton, San Jose's top scorer, at 8:42 of the first period. That led to a series of altercations.
"When you get cheap shots, when guys are taking runs at us, we're not trying to prove we're tough but we've got to respond," Sharks defenseman Douglas Murray said.
San Jose had 2:29 worth of a 5-on-3 near the end of the first period, and the Sharks capitalized with Marleau's 19th goal of the season from the right circle at 17:33.
The Sharks had two more power plays in the first five minutes of the second period and they took advantage on the second one when Cheechoo notched his 23rd of the season from the right circle at 5:46 for a 2-0 edge.
Dallas pulled within 2-1 at 11:35 of the second period on Miettinen's 15th of the season, a one-timer from the high slot off a setup by Mike Modano.
Barnes tied it at 2 at 16:13 of the second period, skating down the right side and beating goaltender Brian Boucher to the glove side for Barnes' 12th of the season.
Notes: For the third straight game, Dallas was without C Brad Richards (soreness) and C Mike Ribeiro (flu). The Stars expect both to be healthy for the playoffs. ...Dallas called up RW Konstantin Pushkarev from the AHL Iowa Stars prior to the game, but Pushkarev was among the Stars' scratches, along with RW Jere Lehtinen (flu). ...Out for the Sharks were D Craig Rivet, C Jeremy Roenick and RW Mike Grier. ...Cheechoo returned to the lineup after missing six games with a head injury.

Galaxies in this Category are more or less equal in size and show
strong signs of interaction. It should be noted that while interacting
doubles are by far the most numerous of any of the systems which were
catalogued, they are sparsely illustrated in this photographic volume.
This is because many interacting doubles are repetitive in form. The
photographs illustrate cases which are felt to be representative of
the various sub-categories plus a few cases which are especially
2a. E + E Interaction
Only when both of the interacting galaxies are smooth, E-like galaxies
or galaxies not classifiable as spirals, are they considered to be in
this sub-category. Some, but not all, of these types are at the
centres of clusters and may be surrounded by extensive envelopes
reminiscent of the cD phenomenon.

I've used Pre-Flashing extensively for reducing excessive contrast in color printing. An example would be a Bridal Party - White (blindingly white) gowns on the front steps of a church in bright sunlight.
A "straight" print on the usual color paper (I haven't been all that enamored with Kodak's "graded " RA-4) can give severely washed out, featureless whites and equally featureless blacks.
The idea is to make the paper less sensitive to extreme overexposure and at the same time less sensitive to underxposure... done by analyzing a neutral gray image for color balance and "pre-flashing" the paper for an exposure of 10% - 20% of the final amount, e.g., if the indicated exposure time was 30 seconds, the "pre-flash" time would be 3 to 6 seconds.
The paper is then "removed" - the subject negative analyzed again for color balance and exposure time and the paper is re-exposed for the remaining 80% - 90% or 24 to 27 seconds.
In practice it is much easier to do than to explain.
Both whites and blacks (shadow areas - you can see eyes again) will then improve in detail and texture.

Northern Californias Medicine Lake Highlands is a traditional cultural property (TCP) eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. It features an interrelated series of locations and natural features that local Indian groups consider integral to their spiritual beliefs and traditional practices. In the 1980s, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) made a decision to lease the area for geothermal development, but did not go through the Section 106 review process.

In 1996 and 1997, two energy companies submitted Plans of Operation to BLM for the construction and operation of well fields, power plant facilities, and transmission lines in the area.
The Pit River Tribe, the Native Coalition, and individual members from other tribes objected to the proposed projects, citing the extent to which proposed and future geothermal development would affect the locations spiritual power as well as traditional practitioners access to important sites. In addition, important archeological properties could be affected by construction of a transmission line.
In May 2000, BLM and the U.S. Forest Service (FS) issued a Record of Decision that denied approval for one of the proposed projects, the Telephone Flat Geothermal Development, because the location of the wells and power plants within the volcanic depression at this site would create significant noise and visual impacts to recreation visitors, homeowners, and Native Americans.
However, in April 2002, the Department of Interior entered into a settlement agreement with the former leaseholder, CalEnergy, agreeing to reconsider the Record of Decision. Section 106 consultation must be re-initiated by BLM and FS because the proposed development was determined to adversely affect the Medicine Lake Highlands TCPs. ACHP will participate in consultation over the proposed development and has asked BLM to host a meeting of all involved parties.
The second pending project in the area, the Fourmile Hill Geothermal Development, was authorized, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation executed a Memorandum of Agreement for the project. While the effects of the Fourmile Hill project will be adverse, they are predicted to be less severe than the Telephone Flat project, because it will be located outside the boundary of the Medicine Lake Highlands TCP district.
Through the Fourmile Hill agreement, the agencies are working with the Pit River and Klamath/Modoc Indian tribes and the Shasta Nation to develop a Historic Properties Management Plan for the Medicine Lake Highlands. Within five years, FS will assess the need to amend its land and resource management plans to better protect the traditional cultural values of the area. The agreement also provides for minimizing auditory and visual effects of the project and carefully monitoring project effects on traditional use of properties and the natural environment.
Under the terms of the agreement, the project sponsor will reimburse the tribes and the Native Coalition for Medicine Lake Highlands Defense for their work in implementing the agreement and will post a surety bond sufficient to cover costs associated with site reclamation. In addition, BLM and FSs Record of Decision required establishment of a citizen oversight panel and a five-year moratorium on further development of the geothermal leases in the Medicine Lake Highlands, pending further analysis of impacts. However, in June 2001 the BLM lifted the moratorium in light of the Presidents National Energy Policy.
The projects are only two of up to 10 anticipated developments for which leases have been issued. Because of tribal concerns with cumulative effects, the Fourmile Hill agreement strongly emphasizes the development of a long-term program to protect TCPs and consideration of revising management direction for this area. BLMs decision to lease this area for geothermal development in the 1980s without going through Section 106 review limited its options in considering the proposed Plans of Operation, such as selecting an alternative site.
