Below is an announcement from the website of my party Liberty GB. Above is our new leaflet against halal meat and the Islamisation of Britain.
We are delighted to welcome Enza Ferreri to the Liberty GB Executive Council, to fill the currently vacant role of Press Officer. Enza is an experienced journalist who has written many outstanding articles for this website and for major European and US websites, and has helped shape Liberty GB's philosophy and policies. She will be an invaluable addition to the team.
I am Italian, I was born and grew up in Viareggio, a seaside resort on the coast of Tuscany, a few miles from Pisa, whose university I attended.
I came to live in London in 1984 partly because I loved England (and partly because I've always wanted to be where I was not).
My attraction for Britain began when I was 13, in 1967, due to my fascination with the Rolling Stones and 'Swinging London'. The fact that I've always been a passionate animal lover and Britain had then the most advanced animal welfare movement in the world reinforced my preference. I saw Britain as a land of freedom and solid moral values.
You can then imagine my disappointment when I witnessed Britain descend into the current multicultural abyss. I may as well have gone to Pakistan, Nigeria, Lybia or Egypt.
I don't want to convey the impression that I don't love Italy. Typical to my nature, since I've been here I started seeing my country of birth's good aspects, such as the fact that Italy is home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and to half of the world's great art treasures.
My being Italian can actually help our party establish connections with like-minded parties in Italy.
One thing I had was a good education, in which Italy, in fairness, excelled, at least at that time. The secondary school I attended was the Liceo Classico, where among other things I studied Latin and ancient Greek, for which I am grateful because this is the basis – along with Christianity – of Western civilisation. Latin is a very logical language and it teaches you to think analytically. Later I got a degree in Philosophy from the University of Pisa. I am interested in the theoretical foundations of things, in philosophy and science.
But I also want practical action, to make a change in the world. That's why I became a journalist, corresponding from London for the Italian press, initially almost exclusively on animal issues. I saw journalism as a political activity.
I suppose this is why Liberty GB offered me the role of Press Officer. I have a fair idea of how the media think, what interests them in a story.
When Liberty GB was formed I immediately became very enthusiastic about it. I believe our party has enormous potential. People are deeply disappointed with the current political elite and the social chaos it has created. They are unhappy about the results, but don't yet clearly see the causes. Liberty GB will grow and achieve its goals if we manage – and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't be able to do so – to explain that what people don't like in today's Britain is caused by the current dominant political ideology, cultural Marxism, and give them a much better, constructive alternative.
It ain't over yet. Demography is not our destiny. If it were, then we would easily win the battle, because we are still the great majority. But the majority is not fighting Islamisation. Why? Because it has been indoctrinated by 6-7 decades of cultural Marxism.
We need to reverse that brainwashing. That is our priority. To fight Islam, mass immigration, the EU or any other evil the Left has thrown at us, which are the symptoms, without addressing the ideology they stem from, which is the disease, would be like curing a headache without treating the underlying brain tumour.
Antonio Gramsci was right: we need to win the cultural war and wake up the consciousness of people before we can win the political war. The Left did it and won; now it's our turn, we'll do the same.
This is why militant atheists like Pat Condell and the late Christopher Hitchens who are anti-Christianity as well as anti-Islam help, whether they like it or not, the Islamisation of Britain. I believe that without Christianity, at least as a system of ethics if not of theology, Britain will become Muslim. Unlike individuals, societies cannot be atheist. For reasons of space, I'll explain why in a future article. Suffice it to say that Christianity has always been the great target of socio-communism and other would-be destroyers of Western civilisation.
And also, this is why what Americans call the 'culture wars', on issues like abortion on demand, the fatherless society, the destruction of the family and the normalisation of homosexuality, must necessarily be fought if we want to go to the root of the problem and not just deal with the surface. We should devote more attention to the same-sex marriage bill about to become British law, a terrible blow to both the institution of marriage and freedom of speech, since opponents will be silenced in any possible way. Our enemies, the elites, the establishment, will get stronger because of that.
I think that campaigns with very specific targets – an example of which is our anti-halal-meat campaign about to be launched with leaflets and a petition – are very useful because, by focusing on a particular topic, they may attract more attention and unite people on something they feel strongly about. It's a little bit like the tactic used by magazines of focusing on an individual case of a person or a family when introducing a wider topic. People relate better to a larger issue by starting with a particular, specific way of looking at it. Other examples, in relation to Islam, may be anti-mosque and anti-paedophile-rings campaigns.
Halal meat is an ideal target not only because many people care about the animal welfare concerns ritual slaughter raises and are not prepared to tolerate it, but also because it very clearly demonstrates the impossibility to accommodate our values with those of Islam and how in this conflict we'll always lose since Islamic supremacism will force itself on us and we'll have no choice but submit to Sharia law. Non-Muslims are, against their knowledge, eating halal meat, whether they like it or not.
Liberty GB's Executive Council comprises very able people, each with different skills and expertise that complement and complete those of the others.
I can see no reason why we should not succeed.

Who is the Queen of Hearts really? Why is Emma a Swan?
Before Once Upon a Time returns Sunday after a two-week hiatus, TVGuide.com decided it's time for our third Lightning Round with the brain trust behind ABC's fairy-tale drama: executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis!
Is speed the new suspense on TV?
We grabbed your fan questions off Twitter and hit up Hororwitz and Kitsis for a quick round of scoop, in which the producers had the option to answer, "Yes," "No" or "Can't Answer." Some of their answers, and possible non-answers, are pretty telling, so check them out below:
Will we learn how Emma (Jennifer Morrison) got the last name Swan?
Edward Kitsis: Some day.
Will we find out about Emma's tattoo?
Adam Horowitz: I would say probably not.
Kitsis: It's the same flower that's on her father's crest, but how she got it and why she chose it is probably not something we'll get to this year.
Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) mentioned a pair of slippers to Jefferson (Sebastian Stan). Could those be the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz?
Horowitz: They could indeed.
We saw the Queen of Hearts last season, but we didn't actually see her face. Could she be someone we've met previously?
Kitsis: Yes. You'll find that out in the episode called "Queen of Hearts," which is Episode 9.
Rihanna! Adam Levine! Everyone's posing naked! check out the the revealing photos
Will Rumple's son Bae return this season?
Horowitz: Yes.
Did you know there's a huge fandom 'shipping Emma and Regina (Lana Parrilla) called the Swan Queen?
Kitsis: It's funny, there are so many people 'shipping so many people on this show, I can't keep them straight. But yes, we are aware of that.
Horowitz: We love that our fans 'ship all our characters and we think it's super-cool and we hope they like what we wind up doing with all of them.
Has there been talk of appeasing any of those fans in some way, shape or form?
Horowitz: We are just trying to make the show for the fans, but we're trying to tell our story while we're doing it and we hope they like where it goes.
Gallery: Hey, ladies — put away the cleavage!
Do the fairy-tale characters know their stories are widely known outside of Storybrooke?
Horowitz and Kitsis: Yes.
Will Sheriff Graham/The Huntsman (Jamie Dornan) ever return?
Horowitz: Yes. God, I hope so.
Kitsis: Jamie Dornan is in London recovering from shoulder surgery, so I think our fans can all wish him well and nurse him back to health so he can be ready to be hungry like the wolf again.
Will we get to get to learn about Aurora's (Sarah Bolger) life before the sleeping curse was cast on her?
Horowitz: Some day, perhaps.
Fans have noticed that Regina's ring has switched from her right hand to her left hand this season. Any particular reason why?
Horowitz: She wears them on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays... Honestly, you caught us! That must be a continuity gap that we will then try to ret-con our way out of it and say she wears it on alternate hands.
Kitsis: We're just going to have to take the hit on this. I don't know why. Whoever that fan is that caught that deserves a signed script. If you watch the show that closely, you deserve at least something.
See the sexiest soap stars, as selected by our users
Will we find out how the connection between Aurora and Henry (Jared Gilmore) was made?
Horowitz: Yes.
Will the midseason finale make our jaws drop?
Horowitz: We hope so! We aim for jaw droppage.
Kitsis: We aim for jaw droppage and we aim for sending off everybody to Christmas with a smile.
Are you excited about the prospect of Sheriff Graham returning? Who do you think is the Queen of Hearts? Check out Lightning Rounds 1 and 2 for more scoop!
Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8/7c on ABC.

Northern anglers are not particularly fond of kayaks, to say the least. Due to climatic conditions, the idea of fishing out of a kayak is even less appealing to them then it is for southern anglers.
Northern anglers fish out of motorboats, period, and the overwhelming majority of them would not even consider fishing out of a kayak, because they perceive kayaks to be unstable, uncomfortable, wet, lacking sufficient dry storage, and not offering enough range of travel. This is true for all fishing kayaks out there, whether SOT, sit-in, or hybrid (canoe-kayak), and it's not true when W fishing kayaks are concerned, especially if you outfit one with a lightweight outboard gas motor.
But northern anglers don't know much about the fundamental differences between W kayaks and other types of kayaks, and although a growing number of them are starting to use W kayaks, with or without a motor, the majority is still totally committed to traditional motorboats: skiffs, Jon boats, bass boats, dinghies, etc.
But owning a fishing motorboat doesn't come cheap, and handling one isn't easy either. To begin with, you need to transport the boat with a trailer, and you need room to store the boat and the trailer. Then, you can launch only from boat ramps, and that might not be the most convenient thing to do. These boats don't lend themselves to human powered propulsion, except maybe the smaller skiffs (a.k.a. 'microskiff) that offer poling in shallow water. As far as mobility goes, bigger and heavier boats don't travel well in shallow water, fast streams, seaweed infested water, or near rocky beaches… and obviously – you can't use them in no-motor zones (NMZ).
A motorized W fishing kayak provides solutions to all the above problems, except the psychological and cultural one of its name: Kayak… For this reason, Wavewalk created the Personal Micro Skiff concept and website, which present the noticeable advantages that Northern anglers have to gain from using this craft for fishing: www.microskiff.us
And this is the demo video presenting this new fishing micro skiff:

Phillies sign Zambrano to minor league deal
Philadelphia, PA – The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a minor league contract with pitcher Carlos Zambrano.
The right-hander went 7-10 with a 4.49 ERA in 35 games (20 starts) with the Marlins last season.
The 31-year-old Venezuelan was with the Cubs from 2001-2011, going 125-81 with a 3.60 ERA and 1,542 strikeouts over 319 games (282 starts). His rocky tenure with Chicago ended when he was traded to the Marlins for pitcher Chris Volstad on Jan. 5, 2012.
A three-time All-Star, Zambrano is a career .238 hitter with 24 home runs, 26 doubles and 71 RBI.
The Phillies are looking for rotation help due to injuries to Roy Halladay and John Lannan. Halladay (shoulder surgery) could miss the rest of the season and Lannan (quad) has been on the DL since April.

Honey Bear
Hello sweet bloggers!
Today our babushka friend is having tea time with a big bear friend of hers. He prefers to have honey instead of tea. Quite the sweet tooth he has! I love tea too. I really enjoy Yogi Tea because you get a little fortune of sorts on the tag of the tea bag. They are often very thought provoking. My favorite flavor is Egyptian Licorice. I like to put a bit of honey in my tea too. Me and big bear would get along great!
Honey Bear is up for grabs on ebay.
Snuggle up with some tea tonight.

As always, a wonderful piece! Funny too, because yesterday I pulled out my little patch of bear fur as part of a simple earth-entered ritual. Bear energy - the energy of the strong, willful, protective mother ... who appreciates the sweetness in life! :)

I am a huge fan of tea and especially with Honey....Mmmmmm. I am intrigued to try Yogi tea and see what the fortune thing is about. I love stuff like that...one of the main reasons I love Dove chocolates.

Good morning everyone. I'm moving to my new blog - 'Dly's Crochet and Crafts' starting today. (Just click on the blog name and you will be taken there.)
I've been thinking about making a new blog for a while now - but I was sitting on the fence about it and just couldn't make up my mind. Well, a few days ago I switched my blog to Google+. I didn't like it, so I switched back to the regular Blogger platform. I then figured out that I have no 'comments' section now. I've looked around to try to fix it but I can't figure out how to do it. So that was the kick in the pants to start my new blog.
Don't worry - 'Dly's Hooks and Yarns' will still be left open for everyone to get the patterns, but all my new patterns will be posted on my new blog.
Please join me over at 'Dly's Crochet and Crafts' - I'd love to see you there. :)

~ why ?? ~
I'm sorry, but most of this stuff is a complete waste of yarn. There are a few pictures of hats in there that are nice though.
Warning: there are a few pictures of ladies naked rear-ends. I don't know why.
This lady reminds me of Frankenstein's wife.
This outfit comes with it's own boxing gloves.

~ stuff ~
Uh oh - I hope I didn't offend anyone yesterday by posting the 'Substitute Teacher' video. I've only received 3 comments, so I'm kind of thinking I did. If I did - I apologize.
A lot of bloggers keep talking about the Google Reader going away on July 1st. Well I'm kind of confused - my Google Reader has been gone for about a week now.
I crocheted a couple towel toppers for my kitchen. This time I used dishcloths instead of using a dish towel cut in half. It was so much easier - no raw edges to mess with. I sewed the blanket stitch - started crocheting, and before I knew it - I was finished. It's such a simple, but necessary project.
Thanks for dropping by ladies - I hope ya'll enjoy your day. :)

~ Two on Tuesday ~
Two things that make me smile:
* we took our first trip to the campground this weekend. It was bittersweet though because we went to clean up my sister Teri's campsite. We picked up small tree branches, raked up leaves, straightened up all the decorative garden stuff, and my sister Julie planted flowers. I smile because I know that Teri would approve - she always kept her campsite looking nice.
* this video. I have to warn you - there is quite a bit of cussing - no f-words, but plenty of the regular stuff. Don't click if you don't want to hear it. That's the thing I've noticed about today's so-called comedy - it's either about sex or has a ton of cuss words.

~ a gift in the mail and 2 bloggy friends giveaways ~
My bloggy friend Kathy from 'From My Heart of Love!' very kindly sent me a sweet gift in the mail. A chubby pen, a note-pad (to write my grocery list so I don't forget anything), a journal (to keep notes when I'm crocheting), and a set of 6 'Hello' note cards.
As I was taking them out of the envelope, my husband was looking over my shoulder. When I was finished, he looks and says "is the envelope empty? there's no tools?" and then he made a sad face. He's so funny.
Thanks so much for thinking of me Kathy. :)
Two bloggy friends are having great giveaways:
Shari from 'Kashmere Kisses' is giving away the sweetest fabric bunny that she has sewed herself. She comes with a crocheted bow in her 'hair' and a pair of crocheted ballet slippers. Shari is also including a couple of her crocheted pin cushions. Hop on over and enter for your chance to win.
Alessandra from 'homemade@my place' is giving away 2 prizes. Each prize includes a Japanese pattern book and either a set of glass covers or a set of coasters crocheted by Ale. Hop on over to her blog too, and enter for your chance to win.
Good luck to everyone! :)

Two things that make me smile:
I've thought about this and I always come back to the same things - the every day good things that I enjoy every single day.
* my dogs Tex and Ladybug. Look at them - not a care in the world. Wouldn't it be nice to just lay down in the sun and not worry about anything?
(optical illusion going on here - Ladybug is a little less than half the size of Tex)
* my house plants. I love working with them. Watering, clipping, dusting, and re-potting them into pretty pots. I bought an African violet from Lowes on Saturday - I cut it in half and re-potted one half in the double coffee cup pot that's on the bowling pin table for me and the other half is in a pretty blue and white print pot for my Mom.
* a bonus smile for me - I had to go to the grocery store yesterday, and as I'm driving down the road, I have this nagging feeling that I'm forgetting something. I check for my purse, my shoes (sometimes I've tried to leave the house wearing slippers), my make-up, and yes, even my t-shirt and jeans. I finally realize what I'm missing - my coat! We went straight from cold coat weather to hot t-shirt weather. Crazy. I love it - but it's crazy. :)

~ little black purse ~
I did a little cleaning in my craft room Saturday and came across these rectangular purse handles. I remember buying them a few years back off of Ebay, but I don't remember the seller. They measure 3" x 5" and they're very pretty with the black lace print. I did a search to see if I could find them, but all I can find is the plain black ones.
My little black purse measures 6 3/4" x 9" - it's the perfect size to carry just the essentials when you're going 'out on the town'. :)
Speaking of purse handles - these are the purse handles that I don't need anymore - so if you're interested, I will send two (2) pairs to the first four (4) people that leave me a comment. One (1) lucky person will get three (3) pairs.
As always - thanks for dropping by and I hope you enjoy your day. :)

~ bow wrist cuff ~
I was looking around Pinterest a couple of days ago, and came across a black leather wrist cuff. It looked very pretty so I decided to crochet one. I think maybe that these are for the younger ladies - I don't think this Grandma could pull off this look. :)
(this is my mannequins arm, not mine)
- small amount 4-ply worsted weight acrylic
- J hook
- two 4mm beads or shank buttons
- small amount size 10 thread
Size: my wrist measures 6", but the wrist cuff measures 8" long and it fits
Note: I crochet tight, so you may need to adjust the size of your crochet hook
Row 1: Ch 10, sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each remaining ch. Ch 1, turn. (9 sc)
Row 2: Sc in each sc across. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: (sc, dc) in 1st sc. *skip next sc, (sc, dc) in next sc. Repeat from * 3 more times. Turn.
Rows 4 - 24: Skip 1st dc, (sc, dc) in next sc. *skip next dc, (sc, dc) in next sc. Repeat from * across. Turn.
Row 25: Ch 1, skip 1st dc. Sc in next 2 sts, ch 1, skip next st, sc in next 3 sts, ch 1, skip next st, sc in last 2 sts. Ch 1, turn.
Row 26: Sc in each sc and ch-1 space across. End off.
Gather the sides of Rows 13 & 14 together and wrap a long length of yarn around tightly. Tie ends together in a knot and weave the end in.
With the size 10 thread, sew the beads or buttons between Rows 1 & 2 to match up with the ch-1 spaces of Row 25.

Two things that have made me smile:
* My bloggy friend Susanne from 'Forget Me Not'. She remembered seeing a picture of my cow decorated kitchen on my blog, and emailed me to ask me if I would like to have some decorative cow plates that she had stored away. She's such a sweetheart to think of me. I received the plates in the mail yesterday and they are so nice. They're from the Franklin Mint - The American Folk Art Collection - Country Journeys.
Please stop by and say 'hi' to Susanne - she's been going through a real rough, sad time and could use a little extra love.
(sorry about the horrendous flash on the bottom plate)
* I cleaned up our front porch yesterday to get ready for the nice weather. Got rid of the old plastic chairs that have seen better days and added a new bird feeder. Also got rid of old, broken flower pots and decorations. Out with the old stuff so I can go to the Dollar Store to get some new stuff. :)

How Animals Tolerate Cancer Treatments
Last Reviewed: September 17, 2012
How do dogs tolerate cancer treatment? Do they get sick like people do?
Erika Krick, VMD, DACVIM Veterinary Medical Oncologist, University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Dogs tend to tolerate cancer treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) relatively well compared to people, but they can certainly still have side effects. Quality of life is a primary goal of veterinary oncology, and we try to balance effective treatment and maintaining a pet's quality of life.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
CHICAGO - Rizza Cadillac, Inc. of Tinley Park, Ill., a suburb south of Chicago, violated federal law by encouraging a work environment which was hostile and offensive to Muslim and Arab sales staff, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit, Rizza Cadillac managers fostered the discriminatory work environment using offensive slurs, such as "terrorist," "sand n----r," and "Hezbollah," and making mocking and insulting references to the Qur'an and the manner in which Muslims pray.
John Rowe, director of the EEOC's Chicago District Office, managed the administrative investigation which preceded EEOC's lawsuit.
"Our investigation revealed that Rizza Cadillac failed to take prompt and effective measures to stop and prevent this abusive misconduct, as they were required to do by federal law," said Rowe. "Employees should be judged by their performance, not their religion or ethnicity."
Harassment based on national origin or religion violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Case No. 1:13-cv-06696) this morning in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The case was assigned to District Judge John J. Tharp, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Mary M. Rowland. It seeks monetary relief in the form of compensatory and punitive damages, an order requiring the dealership to implement measures to prevent a recurrence of harassment, and a permanent injunction against future discrimination.
"Employers may not allow managers to repeatedly make offensive slurs and insults about an employee's religion or national origin," said John C. Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney in Chicago. "Comments implying that all Muslims are terrorists cannot be excused or minimized by calling it mere 'banter' about a minority ethnicity or religion. The EEOC stands ready to protect Muslim and Arab workers when they are subjected to such harassment."
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing discrimination charges, administrative enforcement and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis. The case will be litigated by attorneys in the Chicago District Area Office.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination in employment. Further information about the Commission is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.

The only change I made to this recipe was to add a handful of snow peas. The taste of vinegar in the sauce was overwhelming. My husband and son, who will eat just about anything, took one bite, tossed it in the trash and made salami sandwiches for dinner.

There�s plenty to celebrate when it comes to the connections that are happening between schools and local food across Gaston County.
Give children nutrition education in the classroom, hands-on learning through school gardens, and nourishing food in the cafeteria, and a lifetime of healthy eating can take root. That�s exactly what Gaston County Cooperative Extension is striving for by connecting youth to local agriculture with a variety of farm to table programs:
School gardens. Harvesting Healthy Youth is a school gardening and nutrition program offered to third-grade classrooms throughout the county. During the 15-week program, students plant a vegetable garden and participate in a variety of hands-on gardening and nutrition activities. The program engages students with fun and tasty activities, while teaching core learning objectives in math, science, language, and social studies.
FoodCorps . Gaston County Cooperative Extension coordinates FoodCorps, a public service program designed to address childhood obesity through school garden and Farm to School service on the national scale. FoodCorps places highly motivated young leaders in limited-resource communities where they spend a year engaging students, teachers and the community in a hands-on discussion of how to improve their school food landscape.
Under the direction of Cooperative Extension, FoodCorps service members improve the school food environment by implementing a three-ingredient recipe for healthy kids: they conduct nutrition education to develop knowledge, build teaching gardens to promote engagement, and create Farm to School sourcing relationships to bring children access to healthy food on a daily basis.
Harvest of the Month. Cooperative Extension is working with the Gaston County School Nutrition Program to create a local foods school campaign, Harvest of the Month, to bring local fruits and vegetables to Gaston County students. During 2012-13 students will have the opportunity to taste fresh fruits and vegetables such as kale, broccoli, strawberries, apples, and sweet potatoes. Providing students with an opportunity to taste foods new to them helps to increase the likelihood that they will choose these local foods at the cafeteria line.
Interested in creating your own Farm to School connections for your family? Here are just a few of ways that you can support Gaston County�s Farm to School efforts:
Find out what products are grown locally at www.foothillsfresh.com.
Visit a local farmers� market next spring. Buy something you�ve never tried before, cook it and share with your family and friends.
Ask a family member for their favorite recipes featuring seasonal products grown in your region. Cook with seasonal products as much as possible.
Find out if your school has a school garden and what Farm to School activities are planned.
Grow your own fruit or vegetables. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Office for more information on how to get started.
Serve Harvest of the Month items at home. Watch for special promotions of these seasonal foods in local stores and get your children involved in shopping, selecting a recipe and preparing the foods at home.
Buy lunch on Harvest of the Month days. If your children are not regular school lunch participants, buying lunch on the Harvest of the Month day sends a message that you support our Farm-to-School efforts to purchase local foods directly from farmers for school meals.
Linda Minges is a registered dietitian with the NC Cooperative Extension and can be reached for information on nutrition and wellness at 704-92-.2127 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

An American space expert says North Korea has succeeded in launching a satellite into space.
Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics says the three-stage Unha-3 rocket launched early Wednesday morning delivered the satellite into orbit and constituted "a perfect success for North Korea."
He says that based on his own calculations an object identified by U.S. space command as "39026, 2012-072A" was from the North Korean satellite.
The apparent North Korean success comes after two earlier failures with the Unha-3 rocket, including one in April that flamed out after only 90 seconds.

A recent University of Georgia study reveals that the Caribbean Basin is a potential export market for the state's fruits and vegetables. The study found that these countries rely heavily on U.S. products — including fruits and vegetables — but that Georgia farmers haven't taken advantage of the opportunity to penetrate these growing markets.
The study, conducted by University of Georgia Extension Economist Greg Fonsah, states that the recent increase in U.S. agricultural trade was triggered by several factors, including population growth, changes in macroeconomic performance, the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Euro and other developed economy currencies, and unfavorable weather conditions affecting some competitors.
Conversely, the strong U.S. dollar against the yen and other foreign currencies has an adverse effect on the overall U.S. agricultural trade balance.
"For instance, China recently has become the export leader of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables to Japan, a position maintained by the United States for more than a decade. In 2000, China already had captured 35 percent of the Japanese market for fruits and vegetables, up from 6 percent in 1990. Furthermore, the implementation of NAFTA was instrumental in boosting trade ties between Canada, Mexico and the United States," says Fonsah.
Consequently, he continues, Canada has outpaced Japan to become the United States' No. 1 trading partner and a principal importer of U.S. fruits, vegetables, grains, oilseed and meat in 2000.
"Even though Georgia, California and Florida are the principal squash-producing states, Mexico still remains the main competitor, with 98 percent of total U.S. squash imports in 2000 originating from Mexico. Presently, Georgia's supply of onions, watermelons, cabbages, cucumbers, bell peppers, peaches, snap beans, eggplants, pecans and lima beans surpasses local/domestic demand," states the economist.
The problem at hand, says Fonsah, is how to develop new markets for Georgia fruits and vegetables that should absorb the excess production. The primary objective of the study, he adds, was to seek and/or develop alternative export market opportunities for Georgia growers, since the existing domestic markets are either saturated or on the verge of saturation with very little opportunity for increase.
The Caribbean Basin markets — primarily St. Marten, Barbados and Trinidad — were targeted for the following reasons: 1) proximity to the United States; 2) Willingness to adopt American culture; 3) A large population base: 4) Receptiveness to U.S. products; 5) Easy access by air and sea freight; and 6) Influx of American tourists.
The study consisted of sending out two sets of marketing questionnaires. One questionnaire listed 45 products produced in Georgia. A second comprehensive and exhaustive marketing survey was based strictly on fresh and frozen fruits, nuts and vegetables produced in Georgia.
These surveys and questionnaires were developed to gather information on marketing channels, structures, levels of satisfaction and to determine the sources and preference of supply to the Caribbean Basin markets. They were distributed to supermarket operators, import/export distributors, hotel and restaurant managers who attended the Caribbean Basin Trade Mission in St. Marten, Barbados and Trinidad in 2002.
A USDA/FAS report published in 2001 reveals that the hotels, restaurants and institutions sector of St. Marten generated $68 million of food service imports. The island enjoys duty-free status, and the United States has captured a substantial portion — approximately 80 to 85 percent — of the market. The island's soil characteristics and water limitations render even subsistent agriculture impractical.
Unlike St. Marten, the Barbados market requires strict compliance with food laws. Imported fruits and vegetables to Barbados must meet numerous requirements, include country of origin labeling and a listing of ingredients. UN trade data indicate that Barbados imported $131.4 million worth of food products in 2002 with an expected 3 percent trade increase in 2003. The U.S. market share in 2001 was only 36.3 percent. Thus, the study states, there is room for improvement, "if and only if our growers are willing to take the bull by the horn and comply with local regulations."
U.S. trade data reports that U.S. exports to Trinidad and Tobago was about $40 million in 2001, up significantly from previous years. "Agricultural products, such as snack foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, fruits and vegetable juices will perform well in this market, especially as the population of 1.3 million people is extremely receptive to U.S. products," says Fonsah.
The study goes on to state that it is important for first-timers to familiarize themselves with the local business practices and import requirements. For example, even though labeling regulations and requirements are strict, sanitary registration of food products is not required.
Respondents to the surveys and questionnaires were asked to indicate which products interested them from a list of 45 different products, including fruits and vegetables produced in Georgia.
Out of the total respondents, 71 percent indicated vegetables, beef and beef products; 64 percent indicated dairy products, fruits, pork and pork products; 57 percent selected frozen foods, poultry and poultry products; and 50 percent were interested in canned goods, egg and egg products, grocery and value-added products and seafood. Fruits and vegetables stood out with a significantly high preference.
In Barbados, 12 out of 45 products from Georgia ranked above 50 percent in their scale of preference. Fruits and seafood were at the top of their preference, scoring 80 percent. They were followed by vegetables and other products.
In Trinidad, 10 categories of products hit their preference list. The study reveals that the most preferred products in this market were frozen foods, fruits, pork and pork products, spices, flavoring and extracts and vegetables, scoring 75 percent.
The survey indicated that about 14 fruits and vegetables produced in Georgia were in high demand in the Caribbean Basin markets and most — if not all — are imported from the United States.
As for their fresh-product purchasing requirements, quality, price, reliability and convenience were top priorities. Business-partner relationships, follow-ups and dependability were important factors influencing purchasing decisions.

SAN BERNARDINO >> Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich doesn't know exactly who UCLA will start on defense, but he's getting a kick out of watching his Bruins duke it out.
"We've got two spots that are wide open in my eyes. Wide open," he said. "There's a lot of guys vying for those two spots. It's fun to see these guys every day knowing those spots are on the line."
Those spots are at outside linebacker, which lost ninth overall NFL draft pick Anthony Barr, and inside linebacker, where the team lost sixth-rounder Jordan Zumwalt.
At outside, the team is rotating juniors Kenny Orjioke and Aaron Wallace, as well as sophomore Deon Hollins. Inside, Ulbrich listed even more potential candidates: redshirt senior and special teams standout Ryan Hofmeister, sophomores Jayon Brown and Isaako Savaiinaea, freshmen Kenny Young and Zach Whitley.
But much of the fun in training camp is getting a look at new names and new faces. And one of the standouts so far has been Young.
A four-star recruit out of River Ridge, La., just outside New Orleans, Young has been arguably the best member of the Bruins' 2014 class. He makes big hits. He moves well. He's even taken to barking out directions on the reserve units.
That started even before the 6-foot-2, 230-pound linebacker enrolled. During his spring break, Young flew out to Los Angeles to watch the team practice — spending so much time around the team that Ulbrich said Young practically slept in his office.
"This summer, where every other kid is adjusting to school, their first time away from home, their dorm life, Kenny is in the office every single day, wearing me out," Ulbrich said. "He just wanted to talk ball and watch film. The kid has an uncommon desire to be great."
Owamagbe Odighizuwa agreed. When asked about Young, the senior defensive end said what stood out to him wasn't his play on the field, but the time he'd spent in the film room. That work ethic, Odighizuwa said, reminded him of another former freshman: star linebacker Myles Jack.
Young said his thirst for watching film came naturally.
"Every day, I was like 'Man, I'm going to dedicate my time to the film, to the playbooks, and just learn it,'" Young said. "I had nothing else to do. I don't go around messing with girls or nothing like that. I'm just staying in the playbook. That's why I'm here, honestly."
Injury report
After a solid spring practice, Whitley was limited by cramps early this week, then took a hit to the head on Thursday. He wore a neck brace on Friday.
Walk-on receiver Sam Handler suffered what looked like a serious knee injury on Friday. Bumped in midair trying to make a catch, he landed awkwardly on his right leg and buckled to the ground. Handler had to be helped off the field by two staffers, unable to put any pressure on the leg.
Starting offensive guard Alex Redmond missed another practice after leaving Wednesday with heat exhaustion. Though present at practice, tackles Conor McDermott (shoulder) and Malcolm Bunche (undisclosed) were both held out.
Inside receiver Thomas Duarte and running back Jordon James did not practice due to minor hamstring injuries.

Pamlico mother allegedly inscribed heart on child�s upper right chest
HAVELOCK � A Pamlico County woman faces charges of giving her 11-year-old daughter a tattoo.
Odessa Jean Clay, 30, was staying with her daughter at the Budget Inn in Havelock when she allegedly inscribed a heart on the child�s upper right chest in March of 2011, according to Havelock police.
The charge was made last month, and the Pamlico County Sheriff�s Office served Clay with a criminal summons, according to Christopher Morning, an investigator with the Havelock Police Department.
State law prohibits giving a person under 18 a tattoo.
Morning said the tattoo is about a half-inch wide and was put on the child with tattoo equipment owned by Clay.
�It is an outline of a heart, just an outline,� he said. �It appears black, very faint and very faded.�
Morning said the tattoo appears on the child�s upper right chest near her right shoulder.
The daughter is 12-years-old now, but was 11 at the time of the alleged inking.
Morning said police interviewed Clay, who said getting the tattoo was a general consensus between her and her daughter.
Morning said the only reason Havelock police found out about the girl�s tattoo was because of domestic issues involving Clay and the girl�s grandparents.
Carteret County Sheriffs Office Captain Jason Wank said the grandfather of the daughter, Kenneth Blevins, faces Oct. 12 court charges of peeping into an occupied room.
Wank said it was after the charge of peeping was made that the tattoo incident came to light. Blevins� son is the child�s father, according to Wank.
Clay has a short record on file with the N.C. Department of Corrections website. She was given suspended sentences for possession of stolen goods and possession of drug paraphernalia in 2004, and larceny in 2000.
Her tattooing case is scheduled for Craven County District Court on Nov. 15.
Clay also faces charges in Pamlico County District Court on Dec. 14 for driving while license revoked or possessing, displaying an altered or fictitious or revoked driving license.

Two men who gave a combined 77 years of service on the Arkansas Tech University faculty were honored with the title of professor emeritus by the Arkansas Tech Board of Trustees during its regular monthly meeting on Thursday.
Dr. Eldon Clary (photographed, left), member of the Arkansas Tech education faculty from 1967-2012, received the title professor emeritus of secondary education, while Hal Cooper (photographed, right), member of the Arkansas Tech music faculty and director of bands from 1979-2011, received the title professor emeritus of music.
Professor emeritus is noted in the Arkansas Tech Faculty Handbook as an honorary title that is "reserved only for those who have given extraordinary and outstanding service to the university over an extended period of years."
The first member of his family to attend college, Clary earned three degrees from the University of North Texas and interviewed to join the Arkansas Tech faculty during the final days of J.W. Hull's administration as Tech president.
During four-and-a-half decades at Arkansas Tech, Clary served the campus community as department head, head of secondary instruction, director of teacher education, head of curriculum and instruction and dean of both the Graduate College and the College of Education.
Clary was president of the Arkansas Association of Teacher Educators (AATE) in 1991-92 and a member of the AATE board from 1988-90 and 1992-93. He has rendered extensive service as a peer reviewer for The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
"I cannot adequately express how many hours Dr. Clary gave to Arkansas Tech and its students during his tenure as a faculty member," wrote Dr. Annette Holeyfield, head of the Arkansas Tech Department of Health and Physical Education, in one of the letters supporting Clary's nomination for professor emeritus status. "Arkansas Tech's College of Education and Graduate College owe much to his vision and leadership. To hundreds of graduates, Dr. Clary is fondly remembered and associated with Arkansas Tech. Many are indebted to him for success in their career."
Cooper took the reins of the Arkansas Tech Symphonic Band and the Arkansas Tech Marching Band, known far and wide as "Arkansas' Band of Distinction," in autumn 1979 and retired from that position on Aug. 30, 2011.
He served as president of the Southwest Division of the College Band Directors National Association, a member of the Arkansas School Band and Orchestra Association, a charter member and president of the Arkansas Bandmasters Association, member and president of Arkansas Phi Beta Mu and district governor of Kappa Kappa Psi college band service fraternity during his 32 years at Arkansas Tech.
Cooper was named Arkansas Bandmaster of the Year in 1988, and he achieved membership in the American Bandmaster Association in 1992.
The owner of two degrees from Henderson State University, Cooper was recognized by his alma mater as a distinguished alumnus in 2006.
Arkansas Tech University honored Cooper in May 2009 with the creation of the Hal Cooper Band Scholarship.
Cooper is one of only four individuals — the others are Marvin Williamson (1913-50), Gene Witherspoon (1950-79) and Dr. Christopher Anderson (2011-present) — to hold the title of director of bands at Arkansas Tech.
"Hal Cooper serves as an 'elder statesman' for band in Arkansas," wrote Anderson in one of the letters in support of Cooper's nomination for professor emeritus status. "He is regarded as one of the most important band directors of his generation within Arkansas, and highly regarded on a national scale. His students are woven into the fabric of Arkansas public school bands to the point they nearly define bands in Arkansas. His influence remains as pervasive today as the day he retired from Arkansas Tech University."

Moomba Boats @MoombaBoats hires highly experienced, Jared Lacefield, to work with Moomba sales and support for dealers in the Western Region.
Skiers Choice is making decisive moves to build their team and further drive the Moomba Boats momentum. Jared Lacefield a young veteran of the marine industry, started washing boats at 6 years old. This summer job eventually lead to a position in boat sales, finance manager and ultimately sales manager at his family's dealership, Bohner Lacefield Marine in Fresno, CA. Lacefield has been in the business professionally for 11 years with most of those years on the dealer side of sales. Most recently he spent several years on the manufacturing side as a sales representative for Bennington Boats. Continuing to live, boat and work in California, Lacefield will support Skier's Choice Western Dealer Network with his extensive product knowledge and ability to work with dealers as partners. Lacefield is joining a passionate team at Skier's Choice who strive for continuous improvement. Lacefield is another difference-maker Skier's Choice is welcoming to the team.
Introduced to the world of water sports as a youngster, from washing boats at 6 years old to wakeboarding and wakesurfing for the past 10 years, Lacefield has turned this hobby and love for watersports into his career. Lacefield attended college at California State University Fresno. During his college and high school days Lacefield was frequently involved with INT events. Lacefield's wife Stephanie also enjoys wakeboarding and he tells us his now 11 month old daughter Emmalyn, will be getting out on the wake surf board with him this coming summer!
"Jared brings a wealth of dealership and field experience with him in his new role with Skiers' Choice. He is a tremendous addition to our team and a welcomed addition to our efforts on the West Coast! Explained Rick Tinker, President of Skier's Choice.
When we asked Lacefield about his new employer, he said, "I'm honored to join such an extraordinarily talented group of people in a segment of the industry I'm so fond of. I'm looking forward to being a part of the team that will continue to take Moomba Boats to great success."
Lacefield's approach to sales is less like selling and more like honestly educating the customer with real-world information as it applies to individual water sports boaters. He executes his dealer support as a partnership with dedicated attention and action. Lacefield is very excited and has already hit the road visiting and demoing the Moomba Boats dealers of the Western United States and Canada as a Skier's Choice Western Regional Sales Manager.

The UM Sustainable Mobility and Accessibility Research and Transformation initiative, known as SMART, began the award program in 2012 to honor entrepreneurs who are helping to revitalize the environment and economy of regions through sustainable transportation.
The first new category is sponsored by Detroit-based NextEnergy and will include a $5,000 prize. The MobiPrize for Michigan Entrepreneurs recognizes Michigan companies developing solutions in areas like connected transportation, electrified transportation and new fleet services. Applicants must be a legally registered business that has been operating for six or more months.
The second category is Enterprising City/State. SMART has partnered with ICLEI EcoMobility to create an award of recognition for city and state governments, or government-owned agencies and public enterprises, that encourage entrepreneurship in sustainable transportation through initiatives such as enabling policy changes, and data sharing. There is no cash prize for this award.
The original award category, the Grand Mobi for New Mobility Entrepreneurs, is designed for businesses that advance sustainable transportation anywhere in the world. The prize for that award is $15,000.
All three winners will be recognized at the 21st World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems at Cobo Center Sept. 7-11.
Applications are due July 7. Click here for information on how to apply.
