GAME: Phoenix Coyotes (3-5-1) at Anaheim Mighty Ducks (2-4-1).
TIME: Sunday, 4 p.m. EDT.
The Anaheim Mighty Ducks look to get their penalty-killing unit in order as they try to snap a three-game losing streak in a matchup with the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Mighty Ducks have allowed two or more power-play goals in five straight games and are second-to-last in the league in killing penalties. Anaheim yielded three man-advantage goals in Friday's 3-2 loss at Detroit, but coach Randy Carlyle seemed more upset about the officiating than his team's play.
"I don't understand how they called that many power plays against us," said Carlyle, whose team had only four power-play chances while trying to kill off eight. "I don't understand how we're that bad. I guess the Detroit Red Wings get those calls in their building."
Anaheim has conceded five power-play goals in 17 opportunities at home, and 14 of its 23 goals allowed have come while trying to kill penalties.
Mighty Ducks center Sergei Fedorov will likely miss his fifth consecutive game with a groin injury, while starting goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere is questionable with a groin injury.
The Coyotes are 2-1 entering the final game of a four-game road trip. They lost 3-2 at Vancouver on Thursday, with the deciding goal coming on a disputed play early in the third period.
Phoenix goalie Curtis Joseph stopped Ed Jovanovski on a breakaway, but momentum carried Joseph into the net and Jovanovski on top of it while a charging Matt Cooke knocked the puck in just as the net was dislodged.
Referee Michael McGeough waved the goal off, but the call was overturned after a lengthy video review.
"It's too late to argue it now, but if you're a Canucks fan he went hard to the net on a breakaway and if you're a Coyote fan you claim interference," said Joseph, who had 35 saves in the defeat.
Joseph, who will again try to become the ninth goaltender in league history to reach 400 wins, is 13-11-1 with a 2.52 goals-against average in 25 games against Anaheim.
STANDINGS (through Oct. 21): Coyotes - 7 points, 3rd place (tied), 5 PB, Pacific Division. Mighty Ducks - 5 points, 5th place, 7 PB, Pacific Division.
TEAM LEADERS: Coyotes - Oleg Saprykin, 4 goals; Mike Leclerc, Shane Doan and Paul Mara, 4 assists; Saprykin, Doan and Mara, 6 points; Tyson Nash, 29 PIM. Mighty Ducks - Joffrey Lupul and Teemu Selanne, 4 goals; Rob Niedermayer, 5 assists; Lupul and Niedermayer, 6 points; Todd Fedoruk and Kip Brennan, 14 PIM.
SPECIAL TEAMS (through Oct. 21): Coyotes - Power play: 18.1 percent (10 for 55), 13th in NHL. Penalty killing: 81.1 percent (43 for 53), 19th. Mighty Ducks - Power play: 11.3 percent (5 for 44), 26th. Penalty killing: 73.5 percent (39 for 53), 29th.
GOALTENDERS: Coyotes - Joseph (3-3-0, 1 SO, 2.01 GAA); David Leneveu (0-2-1, 3.30). Mighty Ducks - Giguere (2-2-1, 2.95); Ilya Bryzgalov (0-2-0, 3.12).
2003-04 SEASON SERIES: Mighty Ducks, 3-2-1.
LAST MEETING: March 16, 2004 Mighty Ducks 3-2, OT. At Glendale, Ariz., Fedorov's goal 29 seconds into overtime made a winner out of Bryzgalov in his first NHL start.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Coyotes - 2-4-0 on the road; Mighty Ducks - 1-1-0 at home.

Pa. Supreme Court Bounces Voter ID Case Back to Trial Judge
All eyes were on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, as it considered a challenge to the commonwealth's controversial voter identification law. Would it deadlock, 3-3, along ideological lines? A tie would have preserved a lower court's ruling upholding the law.
But the high court moved cautiously on Tuesday, voting 4-2 to send the case back to a trial judge with these instructions: Block the law if it can't be implemented without disenfranchising voters.
Overall, we are confronted with an ambitious effort on the part of the General Assembly to bring the new identification procedure into effect within a relatively short timeframe and an implementation process which has by no means been seamless in light of the serious operational constraints faced by the executive branch. Given this state of affairs, we are not satisfied with a mere predictive judgment based primarily on the assurances of government officials, even though we have no doubt they are proceeding in good faith.
Thus, we will return the matter to the Commonwealth Court to make a present assessment of the actual availability of the alternate identification cards on a developed record in light of the experience since the time the cards became available. In this regard, the court is to consider whether the procedures being used for deployment of the cards comport with the requirement of liberal access which the General Assembly attached to the issuance of PennDOT identification cards. If they do not, or if the Commonwealth Court is not still convinced in its predictive judgment that there will be no voter disenfranchisement arising out of the Commonwealth's implementation of a voter identification requirement for purposes of the upcoming election, that court is obliged to enter a preliminary injunction.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court asked the judge, Robert Simpson, for his opinion by Oct. 2. The Associated Press has more here.
The law requires voters to produce a photo ID before their ballot can be counted, the primary form being a driver's license or a non-driver equivalent. The problem is that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation generally doesn't hand over IDs without a birth certificate, a social security card and proof of residency.
While the law as written is supposed to make it easier for people to get IDs, PennDOT is sticking to its requirements. The high court said the department had good reason to stand by its policies: even the non-driver's ID can be used to board commercial aircraft.
But that means the law isn't being executed as planned. Whether or not that dooms it, for this election anyway, is up to Judge Simpson.

Last Friday marked the release of "The Fault in Our Stars," the movie adaptation of John Green's bestselling novel.
The hype for the movie was anticipated, seeing as the book won the hearts of lots of teenagers. What was not anticipated, however, was the copious amount of feels and the love/hate relationship between John Green and movie goers expressed through twitter.
I am an emotional wreck. Thanks John Green, kinda hate you rn. #tfios— ☁Olivia☁ (@oliviaosborne3) June 6, 2014
Most of the teens going to see the movie walked in with full disclosure of the ending having read the book. Still, emotional preparation was necessary.
Really nervous about the waterfall of tears that's going to happen in a while. #TheFaultInOurStars
— Kalyn (@kalyn_ortiz) June 9, 2014
Already crying just thinking about how sad this movie is going to be
— Lani Hines (@Lanirae8) June 6, 2014
My guess is John Green sat down with the script writers before planning the movie and told them he wanted teenage girl tears. Lots of them.
A puddle of tears formed in that weird little squishy spot at the bottom of my neck, and I refused to do a damn thing about it #tfios
— Rachel Tiedemann (@racheltieds4) June 10, 2014
It took lots of tears to finish The Fault in our Stars ??????
— Allison Gilbreath (@AllisonGilbreat) June 5, 2014
Well. Can't recall any film in recent memory during which I heard that much open sobbing in a theater. #wasntme #thefaultinourstars
— Shaun O'Banion (@shaun_obanion) June 8, 2014
Surprisingly, the majority of girls that left the theater with soggy tear soaked popcorn and puffy eyes were thanking John Green for the emotional trauma.
Never cried so much in a movie before. Thank you John Green, thank you?? #TFIOS— ?Gabby Dellepiane? (@GabriellaDell) June 6, 2014
OMG AM I STILL ALIVE CAUSE I SWEAR I JUST DIED IN MY OWN PUDDLE OF TEARS THANK YOU #TheFaultInOurStars— CATlyn (@KaetlynnButler) June 6, 2014
#TFIOS just punched me right in the feels. I love you @realjohngreen and hate you at the same time.— RhythmStixx (@RhythmStixx) June 8, 2014
First time I've seen a movie that is as good as its book. #TheFaultInOurStars — Mich Barraca (@michbarraca) June 10, 2014
Personally, I think I'll wait to see the movie when it comes out on Netflix. Then, I can ugly cry in the comfort of my own home without the distraction of dozens of sobbing teens.
The amount of people with stuffy noses due to tears is distracting. Why weren't tissue handed out to the popcorn? #TFIOS— Astrid T (@astridctorres) June 7, 2014
To the girl wailing at the top of her lungs during The Fault in Our Stars: SHUT. UP. The movie is beautiful, but your sound effects aren't

A few weeks ago I received an email with a cartoon of a mature lady sitting back with a glass of wine. The caption read, "Another perfect day, and I never had to use algebra once."
I smiled a little, but then got to thinking about how much we use math and science in our everyday life. And I started to wonder why people look down on their time in school taking these courses as a waste of time, because, in actuality, we use math and science many times every day. [Read more…]

Credit Suisse Sports Awards 2005
The Swiss Sportsman of 2005 is Tom Lüthi (Motorcycling, 46 %). Roger came second with 30,3 % of the votes.
The elections for the Swiss Athlete of the Year will be held this coming Saturday. Roger has once again been nominated for the "Credit Suisse Sports Award" and is certainly hoping to win it for a third consecutive time after having taken it home in 2003 and 2004. His impressive season with 11 tournament titles, including two Grand Slams, and a large variety of records definitely gives him excellent chances.
And now it's your turn (if you live in Switzerland, that is)! The Swiss Athlete of the Year will be elected by the Swiss TV audience via TED during the show. The event will be broadcast live on Saturday, December 17, 2005, from 20.05 on SF1, TSR2 and TSI2 - so don't miss it!
The other athletes nominated in Roger's category are Stéphane Lambiel (Figure skating) and Tom Lüthi (Motorcycling).
I am so sorry that I will not be able to see you winning this award but hopefully your website will carry some pictures.
Here's wishing you good luck,
Your Aunty Pat from Jamaica

BERKELEY -- A newly remodeled Safeway opened its doors in North Berkeley Thursday after a yearlong, $17 million renovation that included a large degree of community input.
Touted by the company as a "Lifestyle" concept store, the new 45,000-square-foot supermarket at 1444 Shattuck Place will feature an extended range of services, including a bakery, deli, full-service meat and seafood departments, pharmacy, floral department, and a produce section with organic produce.
The new building, which replaces the 28,763-square-foot store that was closed last October, sports vintage lighting and a "sawtooth" design that gives the appearance of several, smaller retail stores instead of one large, monolithic Safeway.
"I've been looking at a rundown facade for the last 15 years," said Marsha Masse, whose business, Masse's Pastries, is across the street from the new Safeway. "I think it's a great improvement."
Safeway spokesman Keith Turner said the opening comes after a long process of negotiation with the community and subsequent redesigns. Public meetings were held, and community input was gathered even before the company went to the drawing board, said Safeway spokesman Keith Turner.
Heather Hensley, director of the North Shattuck Business Association, said area business owners weighed in on the store as well.
"They worked with both the residents and the businesses over many months," Hensley said. "There was a definite impact on the design from both groups."
Some smaller business owners in the area feel confident that the new Safeway won't have a negative impact on their businesses.
"I've been here for 21 years, and I have my own customers," said Sam Hort, owner of The Produce Center on Shattuck, a block away from the new Safeway.
Safeway held a special wine-tasting event Thursday to celebrate the grand opening and presented a $5,000 donation to the Berkeley Public Education Foundation.
Berkeley City Councilman Laurie Capitelli, who spoke during the event, praised the company's willingness to compromise with the community.
"They worked out virtually every single issue," said Capitelli. "Virtually every neighbor in the area signed off on this process."
The new store will be open 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.

Caption Competition
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. Yet again
Featured in this month's hopefully joke-provoking pic is the FORMER housing minister, Kris Hopkins.
Sacked, shifted, purged or however you want to put it, the MP has stepped aside for Brandon Lewis.
Hopkins wasn't in the famously glamorous role long (10 months) and achieved little (a seeming requirement for the job).
In this pic, happy Hopkins appears with a sample of the electorate in front of a road sign – surely perfect ingredients for fun and games. Or not.
Please post your efforts into the comments section below. The best will receive a signed copy of Hopkins' forthcoming book 'My 10 Meaningless Months'.

I have a 2003 Jacuzzie 330 spa. I set it for 98 degress because when the digital temperature reads 98, the actual water temperature is 101 (floating thermometer). I could deal with this, by just adjusting setting, but when the tub heats to a reading of 98, the OH light comes on.
If I reset the external GFI, the OH light goes off, but comes on again later.
Thanks for any help. Jim

Massa described Button's Tuesday performance as 'incredible', but the Brazilian was the first and only man to lap in the 1m17s this week on the third day of testing.
Although Massa lapped over a second quicker than Button had, the Ferrari driver believes that given the track conditions on Tuesday and the fact that Button set his time using the hard tyres, the McLaren's pace was still a benchmark.
"I still believe his lap was incredible," said Massa of Button's effort after the third day of testing.
"On the hard tyres on the first day on the dirty track and everything, it really was a quick lap. I didn't have the car to do this lap time on the first day.
"I didn't even try to work for the lap time, but I think it was impressive.
"I think many people are thinking the same about me now, but I think we just improved the car on these days. I think it was a good lap I did, but we can't say what we're going to have at the beginning of the championship.
"I have my feet 100 per cent on the ground."
Although Massa admitted that the first days of work with the F138 had been positive, he refused to believe that Thursday's fastest time meant much.
"It's going in the direction I was hoping but the races are where it counts," he said. "In the tests I don't think it counts so much.
"It's always nice but it doesn't count so much. I think our feet are on the ground and we need to work 100 per cent to improve the car for the first race."

Europe's Morning MoneyBeat
Good Morning Europe
There's a more constructive background for Europe to get its teeth into Wednesday. Most Asian stocks rose for the first time in three days, while the yen weakened, after new home construction in the U.S. grew more-than-expected. Gold extended gains from Tuesday, bouncing back a little from its biggest slide in thirty years.
The European economic schedule is U.K.-centric, with the minutes of the Bank of England's April policy conclave due, along with labor stats for March. We already know the Bank voted against enlarging QE in March, but the question is by how much. The voting split on the nine member panel will be closely eyed. There are also interest rate decisions in Sweden and Canada.
Before the U.S. opening bell, the focus will be back on the banks, with Bank of America and BNY Mellon both reporting first quarter earnings. Results from the sector have been strong pressure is certainly on both of these to keep the run going. Bank of America is expected to report much improved earnings compared to the same quarter a year ago, while BNY Mellon are expected to report a similar figure to last year.

Rebecca Black Pulled From School Due To Bullying
It's hardly shockingnews that some on the Internet hate Rebecca Black. With her "Friday" videogetting well over a hundred million hits on YouTube, it's no surprise she has afew in-person haters, too. Unfortunately, among them are some of Black'sschoolmates. Their taunting has finally resulted in Black being pulled fromschool.
Black's mother hasdecided to home school the 14-year-old from now on, a new decision which also allowsmore time to focus on her daughter's career. But the teen seems zen about heralarming circumstances. The online anti-Rebecca comments became so violent atone point the FBI became involved when Black started receiving death threats.But now that the bullying has branched off the internet and into her real life,Black has been forced to act.
In an interview set to air tonight, Wednesday, on ABC, Blackopens up about the real-life, non-Internet-based criticism she receives. "When I walkby, they'll start singing 'Friday' in a really nasally voice," shetells ABC. "Or, you know, they'll be like, 'Oh hey, Rebecca, guesswhat day it is?'"
If anything, Black is a poster child for how to handlesudden online fame and scrutiny. The teen has a remarkably thick skin. Perhapsshe is more fit for fame than anyone is willing to admit.
"I've had a lot of experience with not being liked and all that,"she tells ABC. "I think if I hadn't had to deal with that in the past,then I totally would have handled this differently and I would have gone downin burning flames. But I've learned that you just can't let it get toyou."
Now, she says, fans surround her wherever she goes, and she travelswith her own entourage of a publicist, manager, stylist, and, yes, bodyguard.Not letting the spotlight dim on her just yet, her "My Moment" follow-up videohas reached more than 22 million views in the past three weeks (YouTube even gaveher a "Rebecca" account name). She recently [url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/stopthepresses/392238/fun-fun-fun-fun-rebecca-black-joins-katy-perry-onstage-for-friday-performance/;_ylt=ArAi5aO.WWy9gyGmViQaiPgexCUv]performed"Friday" onstage at Katy Perry's concert[/url] (and appeared in Katy's "LastFriday Night" video), and she counts Lady Gaga as a fan. While Black has onlymade enough money to cover her future college tuition--and she's certainlyspending more than that on videos and career nurturers right now--she's one ofthe few online sensations who could successfully harness the unending power ofhaters to her own advantage.
Rebecca Black's interview airs tonight on the "PrimetimeNightline: Celebrity Secrets" special "Underage and Famous" at 10/9c on ABC.

Nokia patents scribbling on digital snaps
,----[ Quote ]
| ONE OF the most irritating things about taking photos with a cameraphone is
| the stupid filenames they're given. Wouldn't it be much better to squiggle
| something on the back of the pic like you do with prints?
| Well, Nokia has decided this would be a jolly good idea and has filed a
| patent here in the USA for a technique that enables users of cameraphones or
| digital cameras to scribble 'back-of-photo'
Move towards patenting software draws flak
,----[ Quote ]
| Bangalore: While many people take the slogan "Saying no to software patents"
| to mean the right to usage of free Internet software, the issue of patenting
| is rooted in a larger milieu, affecting not only users of software, but also
| those who develop software and service it.
Let us say NO to software patents
,----[ Quote ]
| There are indications that the government is again trying to bring software
| patents, possibly covertly. The first indication of this has been in the
| draft Manual of Patent Practice and Procedure published by the Patent Office,
| India, in which they talk about "software per se" and software in association
| with hardware. This was repeated in the meeting held in Mumbai which was a
| consultation organised by the government with the public. Whether this move
| has been engineered by the bureaucracy or by the government under pressure
| from big corporates, this is not good for the software industry, especially
| the small scale sector, in India.
Say No to Software Patents - Candle light vigil in Bangalore
,----[ Quote ]
| Software patents are rejected by Indian Parliament in 2005 (Patent Amendment
| bill 2005). But Indian Government is now trying to push it through back door
| by bringing a Patent manual. Public consultations on this draft manual is
| going on in various metros in India. Bangalore Consultation is scheduled for
| the last week of August.
| The Candle light vigil to "Say No To Software Patents" is a occasion to raise
| civil society voice against this back door trojan to Indian patent system.
| On 23rd August 2008 in front of Town Hall near Corporation Circle, Bangalore.
| Publicity campaigns will be hosted in various places on 22nd.
Say 'No' to software patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Nothing could be further from the truth. As explained above, software patents
| are bad for everyone other than large companies. Each software patent is a
| potential mine in the path to progress for small software companies. Allowing
| software patents in the country will be like strewing the path with mines.

Latha Jishnu: The mouse that bit Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| Here's what Gates wrote in an office memorandum in 1991. "If people had
| understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were
| invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete
| standstill today. . . I feel certain that some large company will patent some
| obvious thing related to interface, object orientation, algorithm,
| application extension or other crucial technique."
| This was the year after Microsoft launched Windows 3.0, the first of its new
| operating systems that would become hugely popular across the world. Yet,
| three years down the line, Microsoft had changed from a kitten that was
| content with copyright protection to an aggressive patents tiger. In 1991,
| Microsoft had filed fewer than 50 patent applications whereas last year it
| was awarded 1,637 patents, almost a 12 per cent increase in the number of
| patents it received in 2006. According to IFI Patent Intelligence, the rise
| in Microsoft's patents portfolio bucked the general trend in 2007 when the
| number of patents issued by the US Patents and Trademark Office dipped by 10
| per cent. Apparently several thousand of the company's filings are still
| pending.
| All this may prompt the reader to conclude that there is indeed a direct
| correlation between IPR and growth — and wealth — as the company claims. Not
| true, says Mark H Webbink, a US Supreme Court lawyer who is a recognised
| voice on IT issues. Charting the company's revenues, R&D spending and patent
| filings from 1985 onwards, he shows that the spike in patent filings occurred
| long after the Microsoft "had become well established and was being
| investigated for its monopolistic practices". Webbink contends that patents
| did not spur the launch and rapid growth of the mass market software
| industry. On the other hand, patents have become a threat to software
| innovation, he warns.

I have problems making one specific RSS feed show in the list of posts.
I have added a feed source called "Svenssonsmakaren".
Blog source:
The five latest posts from that blog show up in the list "Feed Preview" on the "Edit Feed Source" page.
However, the posts do not show on the page "Imported feeds" nor does it show on the page where I have published the short code ([wp_rss_aggregator]) although they are well within the number of most recent posts that should show:
I have tried both the Atom version and the RSS version (with "?alt=rss" at the end) of the feed.
Since it is a Blogger blog the country URL ending can be different so I have tried both ".com", ".se" (the location of the blog) and ".fr" (my location).
But nothing works. In no case does it show the posts in "Imported feeds" or on the published page even though it obviously reads the feed.
Any clue what's wrong?

A man arrested for a string of shootings along Kansas City highways has been charged with 18 felony counts.
Police arrested Mohammed Whitaker, 27, at his home in Grandview Thursday night.
Whitaker faces 18 felony charges stemming from nine separate incidents that occurred throughout the metro area. Of the 18 felony charges, two are A felonies for shooting into a vehicle and striking someone and seven are B felonies for shooting into a motor vehicle. He also faces nine separate counts of armed criminal action.
Baker and Police Chief Darryl Forte were among those appearing at the news conference at the city's emergency operations center. Also in attendance were former Mayor Pro Tem Alvin Brooks, who is on the police commission board, City Councilman Jermaine Reed, Kansas City, MO, Mayor Sly James, officials from Blue Springs, Leawood and Grandview's police departments as well as FBI agents.
"We wanted to make sure the residents and those that travel through Kansas City know that they're safe. They've been safe the whole time if you've paid attention," he said in a Thursday evening press conference.
Sources tell KCTV5 investigators recovered a lot of evidence including shell casings near 103rd Street and Grandview Road. KCTV5 saw investigators spend a couple of days in that area.
The evidence there helped investigators identify a possible suspect. Sources tell KCTV5 that police had their eyes on the suspect for several days, possibly even a week.
Thursday evening police swarmed a home at 136th and Spring streets in Grandview, MO. It's believed to be the home of the suspected shooter.
Police executed a search warrant at the four-plex where the man lived. They also towed away a green Dodge Neon with an Illinois license plate.
Forte would not name the name they took into custody because he said charges haven't been filed against him. Prosecutors will look over the case file and decide on charges over the next day or two.
Police announced last week that they have positively linked 12 shooting incidents that have taken place on roadways in Kansas City, MO, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit and Leawood. Three people have been hit with bullets, and their injuries were not life-threatening.
No new shooting incidents have taken place since April 6.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said they are investigating damage to a vehicle that happened on April 3 at 7 a.m. that may be related to the other recent highway shootings.
Troopers said a vehicle was damaged on Interstate 470 near Lakewood Boulevard. The driver was not hurt, but there was damage to his car. Whether that damage was done by a bullet or a rock or other highway debris hasn't been determined.
Investigators had refrained from releasing any suspect or suspect vehicle information because they said they did not want to provide misinformation, nor did they want the public to focus too closely on a specific type of vehicle or person. Investigators did not want to rule out any possibilities.
Officers continued to provide an increased presence in the areas of the shootings, but have always reminded motorists to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity by calling 911.
Forte said police will provide information in a more comprehensive press conference on Friday at a time that will be released later, but he spoke highly of the national and municipal jurisdictions and how well they all stepped up and contributed resources.
"I can't say enough about the people in this community. Without the people in this community we wouldn't be where we are and I'm asking the people in this community to continue to do that, not just on a case like this, but step up. This would be a lot better place if we have people step up like they did in the past two weeks," he said.
Forte tweeted earlier this week that there's nothing that links the highway shootings to the shootings at the Jewish-related sites.

More Signs North Is Easing War Tensions at Home
By Alexander Martin
KRT reported last week that while North Korea's media machine continues to alarm the world with apocalyptic statements, there were signs inside the country that the regime was easing off its heightened state of military alert.
Further reports appear to back this trend, even as Pyongyang positions missiles close to its coast and shows signs of preparing for another nuclear-weapon test.

North Korea defector Park Choong Shik told KRT Monday that according to a contact in northern North Korea's South Hamgyong Province, a lecture was delivered earlier this month telling civilians "not to worry about war"—evidently in response to growing concerns among citizens that the country would be attacked.
"A Korean Worker's Party official was apparently dispatched to the region to host the lecture," Mr. Park said. "The official said that a war won't be happening, that it would be 'psychological warfare,' not physical warfare."
South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported Tuesday that a senior official of North Korea's general bureau of tourism assured Chinese tour operators that there will be no war on the Korean Peninsula. It said the official, Kim To Jun, visited the Chinese city of Xian in Shaanxi Province in mid-March to deliver the message.
"There'll be no war on the Korean Peninsula, so send as many tourists as possible," he was quoted as saying. It wasn't immediately possible to confirm the report.
Further indicating the mixed message the North is sending, Seoul-based online news site Daily NK on Tuesday said that a source in Chongjin, North Hamgyong Province, reported Monday that all reserve forces have been sent back to their regular working stations and that the annual drive to gather manure for fertilizer "was well under way."
The source said that "until last month there were Worker and Peasant Red Guards and other reserves on the streets, all in uniform with their backpacks and guns, but now there are only workers with shovels and hoes, mobilized to produce manure for the farms."
But while the reports could indicate the regime is shifting its emphasis from potential war to the economy and preparations for the annual farming year, there are also signs that food shortages, again, could have a severe impact on its citizens.
On Monday KRT heard from a defector living in Japan who managed to call a relative in one of the northern regions of North Korea by mobile phone on Saturday.
"The food situation is worse than last year," the relative told the defector. "If there is going to be a war I hope it starts soon, because really, it can't get any worse."

Autism-Linked Genes Often Differ Between Siblings
Autism-Linked Genes Often Differ Between Siblings THURSDAY, Aug. 25, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- In families that have more than one child with autism, the gene variations underlying each child's disorder often differ, new research shows.

No Second Troy
by William Butler Yeats
Rhetorical Questions
Symbol Analysis
"No Second Troy" is structured around four different rhetorical questions. These are questions the poet does not need or intend to answer. He probably already knows the answers. It's like when you ask yourself, "Why should I study for the test tomorrow? I already know the material." You also already know you're not going to study; you're just justifying your decision to yourself. In this poem, the speaker wonders why he should blame "her" (Maud Gonne – see "In a Nutshell") for causing so many problems for him and his country. The questions make it seem like he doesn't blame her, but we suspect he does...
- Lines 1-5: The purpose of the first rhetorical question is to lay out all of the charges against Gonne. It's just an excuse to point out that she broke Yeats's heart and tried to stir unrest in Ireland.
- Lines 6-10: The second rhetorical question is an excuse to talk about how great Gonne is, how beautiful, noble, and powerful.
- Line 11: The third rhetorical question sums up what the poet has been saying so far, that she is who she is. How philosophical of you, Yeats.
- Line 12: The last rhetorical question delivers the punch line: Maud is as troublesome as Helen of Troy, and she would burn down a city if she could!

The Worst 10 Movies of 2010: 'Alice in Wonderland,' 'Jonah Hex,''Little Fockers'
What films didn't hit the mark this year?
7. "Alice in Wonderland"
Why it's so bad: Indulgence. There's really no other way to sum it up. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are both talented guys. They've even made some good films together. I plan to watch "Edward Scissorhands" on Blu-ray on Christmas Eve, and "Sleepy Hollow" and "Ed Wood" both show up in my annual rotation at some point. But when the audience will sit through any nonsensical prattle that the two of them cook up, there's no reason for them to ever try harder. Depp's Mad Hatter is almost like what would happen if someone was trying to make fun of Depp and Burton, a ridiculously overwrought grotesque. Many authors have played with the Lewis Carroll characters over the years, to varying effect, and there's nothing in this awkward hero's journey retrofit that justifies the telling.
One nice thing we can say about it: The Cheshire Cat was nifty. Of the two Michael Sheen appearances in terrible giant Disney event films this year, this is the one that I prefer.

You can add images (pictures or graphics) to pages to be more descriptive or to make the page more inviting. If you think about it you can do both.
Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae (pronounced /fɔrˈmɪsɨdiː/) and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants.[3] More than 12,500 out of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified.[4][5][6] They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist.
Ants form colonies that range in size from a few dozen predatory individuals living in small natural cavities to highly organized colonies which may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. These larger colonies consist mostly of sterile wingless females forming castes of "workers", "soldiers", or other specialized groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called "drones" and one or more fertile females called "queens". The colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony.[7]
Ants have
colonized almost every landmass on Earth. The only places lacking indigenous ants are Antarctica and a few remote or inhospitable islands. Ants thrive in most ecosystems, and may form 15–25% of the terrestrial animal biomass.[8] Their success in so many environments has been attributed to their social organization and their ability to modify habitats, tap resources, and defend themselves. Their long co-evolution with other species has led to mimetic, commensal, parasitic, and mutualistic relationships.[9]
