Remarks from "Track II" dialogue with DPRK officials sponsored by Aspen Institute Germany.
April 1, 2012
by Christopher Ford
Good morning, and thanks to Aspen for their gracious hospitality. It is a pleasure to be able to participate once more in this Aspen-sponsored DPRK-USA dialogue, and to see so many familiar faces around the table.
By now, many, and perhaps most, outside commentators have concluded that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is not serious about negotiating denuclearization. Nevertheless, in an effort to contribute to this Aspen dialogue – and at a time when the official track between the parties seems on the verge of collapse as a result of the DPRK's determination to go ahead with what it says is a satellite launch but which is effectively a test of long-range ballistic missile technology – the paper I prepared for this conference attempts to think through some of what might constitute an effective and sustainable Korean Denuclearization Treaty (KDT) if indeed it were suddenly possible to start negotiating one.
In doing this thinking, I have relied upon a number of assumptions. They are spelled out in detail in the paper, but I will summarize them briefly here.
I recognize that this raises questions that many participants may wish to avoid, so let me take a quick excursion here beyond what I discuss in the paper itself. If the parties really do want an agreement that can survive severe domestic scrutiny in multiple capitals and outlive changes in other parties' policy priorities, they will need to do much more to formalize the process of reaching agreement than simply have some jet-lagged ambassador nod "yes" to a handful of his counterparts in a conference room in New York or Beijing.
I'm not just talking about the hurdle of U.S. ratification – though one should neither underestimate it as a formidable challenge to be overcome, nor underrate its potential as an opportunity to obtain domestic stakeholder "buy in" and to apply "quality control" on the output of the diplomatic process. The example of pre-unification struggles over inter-German diplomatic dealings during the Cold War suggests that both Koreas will need at least some formal mechanism by which to approve and make legally valid deals reached with the other: a mechanism functionally equivalent to official treaty ratification, yet which fits within their continuing policy of reciprocal non-recognition. (The situation would be easier if Seoul and Pyongyang were willing officially to recognize the reality of each other's existence, but so far they show no sign of being willing to abandon their insistence that there is only one Korea. This probably rules out formal "treaty" ratification between them, as it did between East and West Germany.) The creation of some such ratification-alternative took some delicate legal maneuvering in the inter-German context, and we cannot ignore it in the inter-Korean context if we are serious about a KDT.
This is why we can't keep dodging or wishing away the question of inter-Korean legalisms. If we genuinely want a durable KDT, it has got to be formally approved, and not just in Washington. This means, in turn, that the process of creating appropriate approval mechanisms within or between the two Korean governments must be undertaken in parallel with, or as part of, whatever negotiations are underway on denuclearization. Continuing merely to kick this question down the road bespeaks a lack of seriousness about denuclearization; a serious KDT project must tackle this aspect too.
But let us get back to the assumptions in my paper.
After setting out these assumptions, my paper goes on to explore possible lessons that might be learned from U.S.-Soviet strategic negotiating. In particular, I highlight the problems of managing negotiations under conditions of great non-symmetry between the parties – an issue that did not arise so much in the Cold War context, but is an inescapable element of any deal involving the three core Six-Party participants. My paper assumes that a successful KDT could have at most a limited or bounded symmetry, and would not be based upon overall, aggregative reciprocity or reciprocity between all the negotiating parties. In particular – and here the paper offers an outline of the basis for one of my key assumptions – it is essential to limit a KDT to matters within the Korean Peninsula itself, for no feasible deal could be symmetrical with regard to extra-Peninsular forces possessed by countries other than the DPRK and ROK.
Nevertheless, the core of a denuclearization deal could indeed be based upon symmetry and reciprocity to the extent that it prohibited anyone from possessing nuclear weapons or fissile material production on the Korean Peninsula, and provided international verification mechanisms for demonstrating all parties' compliance with this rule. In effect, Seoul would trade away its right to invite U.S. or other nuclear weapons back into the country, in return for which the DPRK would dismantle its existing weaponry and renounce any analogous foreign deployments. Thereafter, no one would be permitted to develop or deploy nuclear explosive devices in the DPRK or the ROK, with the KDT thus serving as a de facto Nuclear Weapons Free Zone (NWFZ) for the Peninsula.
Historical examples also suggest that it is vital to accompany elimination provisions with elaborate and intrusive verification mechanisms. Particularly with Pyongyang already having revealed the existence of a sizeable uranium enrichment infrastructure – and with (hopefully unfounded) rumors now abounding of possible additional DPRK nuclear tests conducted in secret, and perhaps supporting the development of tritium-"boosted" nuclear devices involving more advanced design technology and potential weapon miniaturization – the requirements for verifying elimination and adequately assuring the absence of undeclared capabilities will be demanding. If such verification can be agreed, there is hope for a KDT; if not, there isn't.
One of the things we can also learn from U.S.-Soviet and U.S.-Russian arms control is the potential utility of a forum for discussing implementation and compliance issues on an ongoing basis. To be sure, such fora – including the Special Verification Commission (SVC) of the INF Treaty, the START agreement's Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission (JCIC) and the Bilateral Consultative Commission (BCC) recently established under "New START" – are no panaceas for political problems between the parties, and have frequently proven frustrating in practice. Nevertheless, such bodies have been found more useful than useless in superpower practice, and may be on the Korean Peninsula as well.
The DPRK would of course need to show more respect for such institutions than it has when they have previously been used on the peninsula, since its behavior in the Military Armistice Commission (MAC) after the Korean War and in the Joint Nuclear Control Commission established with the ROK in 1992 left much to be desired. That said, I believe some kind of "Interpretive and Compliance Issues Forum" (ICIF) could be a useful treaty-management tool and confidence-building measure within a KDT. (A Treaty might even contain an "exhaustion-of-remedies" requirement, pursuant to which treaty withdrawal would be effective only if the point of grievance in question had first been raised, and unsuccessfully addressed, in the ICIF.)
In broad conceptual form, a KDT would function like the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) within the Korean Peninsula, inasmuch as it would require possessors to dismantle a form of weaponry now prohibited to them, and impose merely transparency-based verification rules upon those who did not have such tools to start with. Farther afield, a KDT would function more like the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), imposing prohibition rules upon some parties (i.e., the Korean partners) but leaving others' arsenals unaffected except insofar as possessors would be obliged not to assist the Peninsular parties with nuclear weapons development or supply them with such devices. (In addition, as noted above, the NWFZ-like aspects of a KDT would bar possessor states from bringing weapons to the Peninsula, and prohibit the Koreas from inviting such deployment.) Such a combination of the prohibitory and dismantlement focus of the CWC and the two-tiered structure of the NPT may be a promising general model for a KDT.
My paper then goes into detail discussing "special cases" of past weapons of mass destruction (WMD) V&E work, including the examples of South Africa, Libya, Iraq, and Iran. For reasons I do not have time to outline here, I believe the South African case offers few lessons for us, while the Libyan example of 2003-04 provides a promising model of negotiated trilateral V&E cooperation. The Iraq model is not so helpful, however, since there is little prospect of replicating the coerciveness of the UNSCOM/UNMOVIC process in the Koreas. Iraq however, does illustrate the importance of preventing weapons reconstitution by addressing the issue not just of equipment and materials but of "human capital." (This lesson is also suggested by Cooperative Threat Reduction work in the Former Soviet Union, and by the assistance apparently given to the Iranian nuclear weapons program by a scientist formerly involved with the Soviet program.) The Iran case, in turn, offers lessons about the difficulty of cooperative inspections and the importance of broad inspection authorities.
I certainly don't wish to overstate the case for the feasibility of a Korean Denuclearization Treaty, for I am pessimistic, believe Pyongyang does not intend to negotiate a resolution, and have seen nothing so far to suggest I am wrong in such conclusions. (Indeed, U.S.-Soviet precedents suggest that historically, arms control and disarmament progress has usually followed rather than preceded fundamental changes in the political relationship between rival powers – and, in fact, has often been associated with dramatic processes of regime reform or collapse on one side of the equation.) If a treaty were possible on the peninsula, however, I believe it would have to follow the basic lines I suggest herein.
I look forward from hearing from my DPRK colleagues on these points, as well as from other participants.
Thank you.

Dealing with Death
Coming close to death a few times on my own is hard enough, but dealing with the death of a loved one or friend is just as hard for me.
I had an uncle here in Irvine and a friend in DC pass away in the last 48 hours and I'm feeling very numb. I know it's not about me, but all my thoughts in the last two days have been about my fear of dying. I can't get it out of my head. This feeling has got me freaking out about every skip of my heartbeat (recently found out I have an arrhythmia), every weird feeling in my chest and body and afraid to go to sleep for fear I might not wake up.
My heart and thoughts goes out to family and friends of my uncle and that of my friend. Extended family is flying in from all over the country over the next few days to come and pay their respects to my uncle.
I don't do funerals. I just don't. Is that bad? Am I being disrespectful? The last funeral I attended was that of my grandmother in the early 90s. After that experience I couldn't take it. I found myself completely emotionless. With my own recent brushes with death starting in 2002 with my first heart attack I have not been able to get myself to attend a funeral.
I'm scared. It's a reminder to me that life is given and can be taken away at an instant. Seeing people in mourning hurts. Again, I think to what would happen if I didn't survive the last heart attack. According to the doctors, I very nearly didn't.
I don't want my family and friends to be mourning my passing. I don't want to think or be reminded of my mortality.
I know it sounds selfish, but I'm sorry. There have been family members, both extended and close that have past away in the years since my grandmother's death, and I never went to the funerals. Even as I sit here writing this entry, I am absolutely terrified of the thought. It's not that I'm not in mourning, I am very sad that they have past away. Very sad. Please don't equate my own fears of mortality with lack of respect or lack of mourning. I deal with mourning in my own way, in private.
I feel horrible that I have avoided ceremonial funerals. I just feel like I'll exploded inside and that my own demise will take place right there and then. Is this bad? Am I a bad person for feeling this way?
I haven't slept, and I'm constantly thinking about mortality. I've tried to distract myself from time to time, but it doesn't take much for me to turn laughter into sadness at the blink of an eye. The next few days will be hard for me as family members will be flying in and will expect to see me at the funeral.
Hug your loved ones. Savor life. BE life.
Every moment you are here on this precious world is sacred.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus is in a very safe location and all the doors on the dorms are locked at all times.
Greek Life they offer phi theta kappa.
Clubs and Activities we have basketball, softball, baseball, cross country, volleyball, student government and also work study which i participate in.
Great for these types of students this place is great for athletes who don't mind being in a small place. it's also a great place for cowboys and ranch hand type people.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus one restaurant that everyone goes to in clarendon is called nuttin' fancy or as everyone calls it the nut also, on wednesday nights there is a college ministry night where we can go to worship and eat food! along with the church, they find people of the community to adopt college students and take them in as their own for the school year.
Bang for the buck if you don't live on campus you are definitely getting your moneys worth in classes. the meal plan is a waste of your money though. i never use my meal plan and just eat in my dorm like many other people.
What to do for fun when there are sporting events going on everyone attends but other than that there is nothing to do in clarendon except just hang out with friends. in the summer everyone goes to the lake. when we want to see a movie or go shopping we drive and hour to amarillo.
Food and Dining the food here is awful. nobody likes it and that's one of the biggest flaws with cc. you will pay the most money for this and like it the least.
Dorm Life i live in knorpp hall which is the nicest and has the biggest rooms on campus. only girls are allowed in this dorm. many problems have happened this year with guys being in here past curfew. rules were eventually changed where no visitors were allowed past 6 p.m. the softball team is loud at all hours of the nights. nobody has any courtesy for others sleeping on some nights. overall, it's really not that bad but i would prefer living off campus.
Academic Rigor the classes are not very hard at all and very manageable. i took 17 hours in one semester while also playing basketball and achieved it with ease. some of the science classes are harder than the other classes but with extra studying can still be handled.
Tips for prospective students the small class sizes here are great for the first years in college. the teachers offer extra help when needed making it easy to keep a high gpa. the tuition is very reasonable compared to other schools.
In three sentences clarendon is a very small town and secluded from big cities. teachers are all willing to help and know all of their students on a first name basis. a great place to start college, especially if coming from a small town.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Great Safe small town.
Bang for the buck You get alot of stuff and classes for the money.
What to do for fun There is a drive in movie theater, a lake not to far and Amarillo is to far of a drive to go and have fun if you like to party.
Food and Dining They have a lot of different things you can eat at the school.
Dorm Life Then dorms are small but it's all you need for studying.
Academic Rigor The have a great program for nursing and a great RFO program that will be sure to teach you something fun and interesting.
Tips for prospective students Clarendon College can be very easy because they have great teachers and staff. All the student needs to do to be successful is to complete the assignments on time.
In three sentences Clarendon College is a great starter school for any student who wants to get their basics. This school has really great teachers and is also very friendly. I went to Clarendon College and it was a great school.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The Campus is very secure at all times the dorms are always locked so there is no way for outside people to brake in, unless people from the dorms allow them too. There are always Sheriffs checking around campus at ever time especially when its dark.
Great for these types of students Clarendon College is surrounded with athletes from around every where. Which is nice to have people from around the world where you can get to know them and become good friends.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus One of the things that always goes down once college starts usually the first day you arrive the students would play this game called cops N robbers which is a form of hide and seek at night. It's a time where the students become friends and get to know each other. And another thing that also happens before classes starts is we all hangout at the lake and get to know each other and just hangout and listen to music.
What to do for fun Stuff I did for fun at the college was hangout with my friends in campus or played sand volleyball, went out for a run in the track or worked out in the weight room. There are many fun things to do you just need to be open and think creative so it would be fun.
Food and Dining The food wasn't as good as expected my favorite meal was when we had steak and shrimp. There were so many choices each day, but they weren't very tasteful especially for the meal play being so expensive and having crappy food.
Dorm Life I loved my Dorm room it was perfect! Even though there are some dorms that are not so nice like others. One of the things that we most have trouble with was our internet connection. When sometimes the internet wouldn't work when we were in the middle of a paper or a test the internet would completely slow down or just stop working. And the sad thing was that we were paying for internet, of course if were paying for internet we shouldn't be having trouble with it. But other then that i enjoyed living in the dorms.:)
Academic Rigor Any school is challenge its just depending how serious the student is taking the classes. If they are slacking off then most likely they will struggle, but if they are putting effort into their classes and really want to have a good GPA you should be passing with flying colors!
Tips for prospective students If your a city person be ready for a small town. Not much to do, but once you meet new people it wont be so bad after all, because living in a small town is good in a way because it helps you realize who are your real friends are and who aren't and most importantly it shows you how to be more responsible on your own.
In three sentences Small town meaning you know everything about everyone. You can have a close bond with your professors. Most of all everything is close by for example your classes, dorms, gym, weight room, cafeteria, the fields, and the books store so you don't have to worry about driving to places.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There are sporting events such as baseball, softball and rodeo. There always seems to be flyers posted around campus of upcoming events.
Tips for prospective students Clarendon College is a great place to start one's college career. Credits transfer easily and the staff is amazing and always ready to help any way they can.
In three sentences The faculty here is amazing. The college is small enough to make it feel personal, but broad enough to assist with future plans. Everyone at Clarendon College is really motivated to help everyone succeed.

Bang for the buck This college is not very expensive, I feel you get your moneys worth!!
What to do for fun For fun I like to go to the lake an fish or swim or just hang out. There is actives here all the time that get everyone involved, hang out with friends. Just simple things like that!!!
Tips for prospective students Go into it with an open mind, and I promise you will see the potential it has to offer!! I have had the most amazing college experience here!
In three sentences I have had the most amazing experience here. I love this town and the people in it. I would not trade my experiences here for anything!!!

Categories Comments Campus Safety At Clarendon there has never been a report rape there. I normally left my doors unlocked and most people left there keys in their trucks. Just a safe campus.
Bang for the buck Clarendon is not very expensive but I do wish that you could have an option to not get the meal plan if you didn't want it.
What to do for fun A lot of the time we would just hang out or go to the lake. Thursday and sometime on the weekends we would go to Amarillo to the bar to go dancing and just have a great time. Make sure you don't have a 8:00 class on Friday or you would be dragging. Amarillo is about an hour away and one of your closes Wal-Mart's. They also have a drive in movie theater that is pretty neat.
Food and Dining When I first got to Clarendon, the food wasn't all the great but of course I was use to home cooking. Towards the end of my sophomore year, they got a new nutritionist in the caf so we were having better foods that weren't always fried.
Dorm Life Dorm life isn't too bad. I lived in regents my freshman and part of my sophomore year. You have sweet mates that you share a bathroom with. Regents is one of the newer dorms and I liked them a lot because you just opened your door and you were outside instead of having to walk down a hallway.
Academic Rigor Organic chemistry was one of my harder classes. There were classes that were easier than others only because they were agricultural classes.
Tips for prospective students Join clubs and activities!! Go out and meet people!
In three sentences Clarendon is a small town with very friendly people. You aren't just a number like a larger universities. They are there to make sure you're successful and further your education.

The masters of science degree in school counseling prepares school counselor candidates to effectively meet the challenges of today's schools and the needs of today's students. An emphasis is placed on leadership and social advocacy to ensure that school counselor candidates are an integral part of the collaborative team that seeks to ensure academic success for all students.
The 48-credit graduate program in school counseling focuses on the professional counselor's leadership roles in collaboration with teachers, administrators, families, community resource networks and others to promote equity and success for all children and youth. School counselors learn to be advocates for social justice and to follow the professional counseling codes of ethics and standards of practice. An emphasis is placed on developing the skills to deliver a comprehensive national standards based program that promotes academic, career, personal-social development, equity, and success for all students.
The Master of Science in School Counseling curriculum is designed to meet the philosophy and content of the 2009 standards of the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP), a related organization of the American Counseling Association. Since 2002, NYIT is a companion institution for the Education Trust's Transforming School Counseling Initiative.
The mission of the School Counseling Program is to prepare culturally competent and skilled school counseling professionals to meet the growing needs of K-12 students in today's schools. The competency-based school counseling program prepares professional school counselors to deliver comprehensive programs that promote success for all students (pre K-12) in the areas of academic, career, and personal/social development. Through advocacy, collaboration and teamwork, leadership, individual and group counseling interventions, use of data and technology, NYIT school counselor candidates will be prepared to support, promote, and enhance student achievement and success in school. Unique in its cross-disciplinary approach, candidates in school counseling may share core courses with mental health, teacher education, and educational leadership students.
School counseling degree candidates demonstrate mastery of the body of knowledge of professional school counseling as designed by the Council on the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Programs (CACREP) and NCATE. Candidates are expected to demonstrate professional school counseling, consultation, and leadership competencies throughout their course assignments, at K-12 school-based field sites, through a professional counseling portfolio of written and technology-supported assignments, and by conducting a school counseling research project.
Graduates of the program are eligible for initial (provisional) and professional (permanent) school counselor certification in New York State and New York City. School counseling degree candidates are encouraged to pursue national certification through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC).
The school counseling program integrates technology -- as a delivery mechanism and as a professional tool. All courses will include various web-based experiences, list serves and e-mail, use of presentation software, spreadsheet and database applications, conference forums, class discussion boards, digital storytelling and specialized applications. Technology applications are an integral component of coursework that emphasize student academic and career development and post secondary planning. Candidates are expected to use technology applications in both field placements and internships.

the club is in the wind down stages, they are set to publish a book to coincide with its tenth birthday celebrations. 'Cream x10' will be a collection of photos and text compiled to give the reader a glance at Cream over the last ten years. The book is written by former Muzik magazine editor Ben Turner and features contributions from Fatboy Slim and Cream founder James Barton.
You might recall Twilo (NYC) had a photo book of their clubs history, it provided club goers with a great opportunity to remember the club. This book out on October 10 in the UK will hopefully do the same.

I was shopping around in different stores and blind manufactures for cellulars blinds. This is my first time doing it on my own, what an education. In the past we lived in a different home, we custom ordered these type of shades with a upscale brand through a blind dealer/ installer and we paid a lot of money. This time I decided to shop around and install them ourself. I don't know why cellular shades are so expensive, especially anything custom. I came across these shades from Overstock.com and reading all the reviews and Q&A, I decided to order a couple to try, even if it's not good, it was so inexpensive, I don't think I have much to lose. After feeling the texture and the thickness of numerous brand and make. When I finally got these shades, I was so thrill, the quality of them was very good. Even though I read most of the reviews / Q&A, I was still very hesitant, since I normally would never order these things online. I love them!!! I love the price even more. I do hope they'll hold up in time...***For those of you who have questions like some of these I wonder about when I order these (1/4 or 1/2 inch could be very very important in some cases, especially when you're doing inside mount of the window and you don't want to order ones that are way too small that could look unfitted or order ones that are just 1/4 inch too big that doesn't fit or it has no room to move up and down. So how much smaller is the actual shade? I order a 34 inch and the actual shade is 33-3/4 inch, so it's 1/4 inch smaller. Manufacture makes their shades a little smaller so it fits your windows especially if you do a insde mount, so the shade will move. The width / thickness of the shades (not the bracket, bracket is slightly bigger) is 1 inch (one of the Q&A answer was 1-1/2 inch, not sure why, maybe a different brand.) (This may or may not matter to most people, but I thought it may matter to others.) The site didn't accurately point out these top/ down bottom shades are CORDLESS as well. (some review did stated it's cordless, but one of the Q&A answer stated that is corded, so it's quite confusing for the consumer.) The color IVORY is definitely a bit more yellow, but it's a nice color, but, if you want something cooler, then you may want to simply order the only other color choice for the top down/ bottom up...WHITE, which is what I did when I reorder more of them, I wish they have more different sizes and color available...like smaller, wider, shorter. I would have order even more. All in all, the ordering process was very smooth and all the REPs are very professional and friendly. First time ever use this website, so glad I did, will recommend OS.COM to anyone. Hope this helps.
I got these for my front living room windows. I wanted somethign that I could lower from the top so that we could let the light in but still have some privacy and these were just the things. I didn't realize that they were cordless, but that is just an added bonus (my 2 cats love to play with strings) They were very easy to install (just predrill the holes first) and the shade itself just snapped right into place. They come with two small hand holds that allow easy manuvering of the shade itself. I love them so much that I plan on buying 8 more for my sunroom windows :)
This is a single cellular shade which I have in my living room to block the view of neighbors below me. So I mostly use it for a "top down" effect and it works really well. Controls look flimsy but in fact work very well and are just more unobtrusive than most conventional shades. I think these shades are well worth the money.
These are a very nice shade for the money. It should be noted they are a bit more creamy yellow than tan but not unattractive. Also they provide privacy but do not blackout light so on a very sunny window you will awake to the golden light of dawn. I would but them again and replace my more costly shades which are wearing out and going out of warranty. Like the concealed string cordless feature perfect for a safe home with pets or kids.
I'm giving these shades 5 stars based on value. For the price, these shades are great!! As stated by others "ivory" is more yellow than one would think but if you have earth tones in your room, these will work!!! The pull strings are cheaply made, 1 has already ripped out of the plastic pull but it's an easy fix.
We replaced vertical blinds with these and really like the way you can have the top open for the light and still have privacy!
The picture shows true color. It is not yellowish nor gold like other reviewers complained. I have ordered several to place them on my window where I have back to tree view. I love the simplicity and clean look.
The shades work beautifully. We only pull them down at night or when we're out of town. Such a great deal, especially if you've priced shades elsewhere. The ivory color is more golden than white, but they give off a nice hue.
Easy to install. Mine are corded, some reviews said they were completely cordless but mine are cordless on the bottom and have short cords for the top-down. Love them....was quoted over $900 for these style blinds through a local company so I was ecstatic to find these. They are a little yellowish when open, but when completely closed they are ivory. The light does make them a little yellowish but I dont mind because I did not want stark white anyway. Even Lowe's quoted me over $200 per blinds. GREAT BUY!!!!

Not rooting for devastating injuries to anyone.
However, I'd love to see Scott carted off the field by Gillette Stadium Security after trying to punch someone in a fit of frustration.
Not rooting for injuries by any means. Let's put it this way, I'd feel a hell of a lot worse if Jason Taylor went down as opposed to Scott. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to Gillette Security tasing him after a pummeling-induced meltdown.

RBN1 (Yes, I know we might not get any, but I'll keep asking for it till we do)
"Until the Night" - Free Spirit
"Pale Sister of Light" - Free Spirit
"Big Bad World One" - Jonathan Coulton (I'll admit I'm not sure I'd get it, but it's the only one we're missing)
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" - Eiffel 65
"Buried Cold (RB3 version)" - Rose of Jericho
"Find Beauty" - Rose of Jericho
"Midnight Eyes (RB3 version)" - Rose of Jericho
"Schizophrenia" - Jukebox the Ghost
"Empire" - Jukebox the Ghost
"Country Song" - Seether
"Hangman" - Drugstore
Seriously, why hasn't Blue made it over? If the playstats on Keldon are any indicator, that song has sold phenominally well (it's in the top 5 most played RBN songs and has over 10,000 unique user ID plays online). This is the 3rd week in a row we haven't gotten it while we've gotten RBN2 stuff.
<Insert request for more Boston here>
PSN: Bront20
DLC: lots+RB1+LRB+RB2+ACDC+GDRB (+ RB3)
Are we ever going to get, George and Ringos packs?
Like : It don't come easy, What is life, ect. You left us hanging on for more Beatle's
Beatles rock band is your best work by far.
I'm still peeved that we got multiples of tracks from the same artist, and yet more Amberian Dawn on RBN 2.0 now.
RBN 1.0 Requests
"Dancefloor" by Apples in Stereo
"How We Operate" by Gomez
RBN 2.0 Requests
"Blue (Da Ba Dee)" by Eiffel 65
"Sick, Sick, Sick" by Bayside
Just please cut down on the amount of metal tracks and releasing a stack of tracks by the same artist in the same week, and how about releasing 10 RBN 2.0 tracks a week on the PS3?
It's obviously not a Sony limitation. If they could put 70 tracks up in one week (yes, taking the PSN downtime into account), there's no reason why they can't put 10 up a week. Or, is there some BS exclusivity still with the 360?
Oh no, no more RBN 1.0 songs??!?!
If we never get Bornholm or A Wilhelm Scream I'm going to be super depressed.
OK, thx for clarification. So 10 RBN per week is possible or it was an exception? Because PS3 (belive Wii too, but dont have console and dont follow what happening there) have to much les RBN songs compared to X360. I agree with that 30 days (or so) exclusive but X360 in average have more than 20 songs per week and PS3 get 'just' 5. I know that sound unthankfull but I just wish that we (PS3 owners) have more that now. So HMX, is 'just' 5 RBN songs is some sort of exclusive agreement with Microsoft or it was Sonys 'fault'?
And in the end that not all sound 'too bad moody' I still think that RBN is a great service and looking forward to see more of those 'not-known' bands.
And hope that one day Downhill by Rishloo will come to PS3. (If im right that whole Scissorlips album will be released on RBN and there is already 2 or 3 songs on X360).

Wii isn't getting RBN tracks, possibly because they weren't worth the effort (which required more work than moving them to the PS3).
The limit was from Sony so it didn't interfere with normal DLC, though since we were getting 10 a week for a while, I wonder if they can't push that further.

DLC: lots+RB1+LRB+RB2+ACDC+GDRB (+ RB3)
I don't have a problem with relatively "unknown" or "unpopular" band's content appearing on the RBN. Infact, i've quite enjoyed some of it.
But, when a bulk of it comes from ONE artist or it's mostly in the metal genre, it's not really appealing for vocalists to be singing (or screaming, or making pig snorting sounds).
I am REALLY annoyed that songs like "Dancefloor" by Apples in Stereo and "How We Operate" by Gomez weren't ported over onto the PS3. "Dancefloor" was a really cool track, and the video for it featured Elijah Wood. Likewise, Gomez... they're a pretty big UK band that's had quite a number of chart hits.
Instead we get flooded with Amberian Dawn, The Main Drag, etc.
Why can't they be bothered in continuing to release RBN 1.0 onto the PS3?
They could do 5 RBN 2.0 and 5 RBN 1.0 songs per week, and I think that would make us all happy if we eventually got EVERYTHING that XBOX 360 users have.
And, from what information i've pieced together from posts by HMXhenry, Sony reps and others, it isn't Sony that's imposing the 5 track limitation. It's Harmonix. They've stated before that they basically don't have the time or resources to convert any more than that, and that's why we get 5 a week.
It's still great that they were working on publishing and submitting 10 RBN 1.0 tracks per week during the PSN Downtime, and i'm amazed that SCEE came through and actually made them all available, but us PS3 users only getting 5 tracks per week just doesn't seem right!

Having high blood cholesterol puts you at risk for heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. About 1 of every 6 adult Americans has high blood cholesterol.1
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that your body needs. But, when you have too much in your blood, it can build up on the walls of your arteries. This can lead to heart disease and stroke.
There are no symptoms of high cholesterol. Many people have never had their cholesterol checked, so they don't know they're at risk. A simple blood test can tell you your level. The good news is that there are steps you can take to prevent high cholesterol—or to reduce your levels if they are high.

Animated television specials are among the most cherished holiday traditions of yuletide revelers young and old. Mention "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (1965), "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (1964) or "Frosty the Snowman" (1969) and people light up like Charlie Brown's tree (after the kids gave it a little love), Rudolph's nose, or the hot sun that melted poor Frosty.
You can thank "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" -- the first animated Christmas special -- for that holiday gooeyness. It premiered 50 years ago this month.
"Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" originally aired on December 18, 1962, on NBC at 7:30 p.m. For the first time since 1967, the special will air on a major network -- once again on NBC -- Saturday, December 22 at 8 p.m. ET.
While the major networks have aired the aforementioned holiday staples, including "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" (1966) every year since their airdates, "Magoo" hasn't aired outside of syndication for 44 years. Now that "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" has hit he half-century mark, this often overlooked, underappreciated, somewhat obscure Christmas special is experiencing a renaissance of sorts.
CNN spoke to animator Darrell Van Citters, author of "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol: The Making of the First Animated Christmas Special," about how "Magoo" paved the way for Christmas specials yet to come.
"Because this was such a huge success," said Van Citters, "it inspired other people to follow in its footsteps, especially 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer,' which was the next one."
Van Citters couldn't pinpoint why "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" fell by the wayside, but he did note that the character began to dwindle in the years following the Christmas special.
"'How the Grinch Stole Christmas' had a book attached to it," said Van Citters, "'Charlie Brown' had all of those books, all of those specials. These were constantly in the forefront of peoples' minds during the holidays. And 'Rudolph,' well, who doesn't know that song? Between all of these other specials getting all of this promotion, and Mr. Magoo kind of fading, it really got lost for a long time."
As far as adaptations of Charles Dickens' 1843 tale "A Christmas Carol" go, many have tried, many have failed, and -- arguably -- a handful have succeeded. Most people would count "Magoo" among the successful renditions.
"I think this is one of the stronger versions because it's quite loyal to the original," said Van Citters. "They are reciting lines from the book, and on an emotional level I think it's one of the strongest -- even over live-action -- because the songs really emphasize the emotional aspect of it. They know exactly where to go to tell their story."
That's right -- "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol' is a musical as well as an animated special.
"To take a classic story like that," said Van Citters, "and then to mix in Mr. Magoo, and then make it a musical, it's kind of a big leap. And he didn't just make it a musical; he went after the best Broadway songwriters of the time. It's one of the stronger, if not the strongest, musical interpretations of Dickens."
Composer July Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill, who were developing "Funny Girl" at the time, wrote the songs for "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" while ensconced at the Beverly Hills Hotel in March and April of 1962.
The Styne-Merrill team created Broadway-caliber songs like "Alone in the World" and "Winter Was Warm," which gave "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" an emotional quality which made it more theater than the cartoon it was.
Cleverly presented as a play-within-a-play, the special features the character of Mister Magoo starring in a Broadway production of "A Christmas Carol." That little technique solved the producers' dilemma regarding whether or not audiences would buy Quincy Magoo as Ebenezer Scrooge.
"Mister Magoo had kind of changed over the years," explained Van Citters. "He had started out as this crotchety old man and over the years he had become softer. [Producers] thought it would be kind of weird to put this character in a role with no explanation. Nowadays people do it routinely and you don't think twice about it, but at the time it was a big leap. Originally, Mr. Magoo was going to be in a small community theater production, but as the songs got bigger, they decided to make it a Broadway production with him as a well-known actor."
Although "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" was released on Blu-Ray/DVD as a special anniversary edition, Van Citters is the first to admit that the animation isn't what resonates with longtime fans of the special.
"The animation fills the bill, but there isn't anything in the way of nice motion or defining the characters through the way they move," said Van Citters. "It's all about simply hitting their marks to tell the story. It's a little rough around the edges, but it works, too. The songs are so good that you overlook stuff like that."
Van Citters pointed out that the important thing is that the special "has a lot of heart."
In fact, the instant the special ended on the night it premiered, producer Lee Orgel's phone rang. Walt Disney had phoned to tell Orgel how wonderful it was.
Van Citters wrote about the conversation in his book.
"Let me tell you something, Lee," Disney told Orgel. "Not only is this generation going to watch it, but your children, your children's children and your children's children's children will watch this show. That's how good it is."
Walt Disney's stamp of approval was the ultimate gold star.
"Here's this guy that practically invented animation as we know it," Van Citters told CNN, "who takes the time out of his day to watch it and call this guy up and tell him how much he liked it."
Much to the dismay of fans, a "Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol" soundtrack has never been released. Plans for a storybook record were scrapped, and the audio master tapes are long gone. Van Citters said there's a chance they've simply been mislabeled and are somewhere in the vaults.

Also, in a few days rerun APUP to download the new rti file to make 2000 SP4 Official. Of course, this is more cosmetic
than anything, your system will update fine, it's the red Unofficial warning that's nice to remove.
It is included, and it's in blue after the update.
Also, there is one item listed as MDAC (no kb number) under Updated Components that is always in black, no matter how many times it's been selected to install.

One of the most important pieces of equipment used in scuba diving is the scuba regulator. Scuba regulators allow the diver to breathe the air from their tank at a lower pressure level. While this is their basic function, there are other facets that contribute to the effectiveness of your scuba regulator. Ease of breathing is the main feature to consider when purchasing a scuba regulator. Anyone that has dove on vacation using the cheap scuba regulators that are rented through the resort will tell you that being able to breathe easy with your regulator should be a priority.
Our GT3 Oceanic Regulator has special features that make breathing very comfortable. With this Oceanic Regulator you can quickly adjust to behave precisely the way you want, then let it do the work as it automatically readjusts with changes in depth. There is also very little bubble interference in this high-performance regulator. More articles about Purchasing scuba equipment online.
