"Nearly 4 million Americans are more than 60 days behind on their mortgage, and countless others are only a paycheck away from missing a mortgage payment. You're not alone. " That's why we're here, to help home owners like you when you need it most.
This letter is to thank you for the outstanding job you did in selling our home. When we met you, you informed us of all of our options. You explained the foreclosure process and kept us aware of the progress. We tried to sell our house through a realtor and buy ourselves for over a year with no buyers. We attempted to work out an arrangement with the bank but were unsuccessful. You however, never took no for an answer from the bank. the bank granted us a short sale. As the parents of three children, you allowed us to focus on our family's basic needs while you dealt with negotiating with the bank on our behalf. You went beyond your duties. We especially appreciate your honesty , professionalism and your caring manner. We came to trust the fact that you had our best interest at heart. It was a pleasure to work with someone with a strong sense of integrity. As we renew our lives by continuing our education we are extremely grateful to you for this new beginning. Sincerely forever grateful, The Ramos Family

Creepy Twilight Doll: Cast Talk About Edward and Bella's Child, Renesmee (VIDEO, PHOTO)
Cast members and others related to the film have been talking about the creepy Twilight doll used during filming to portray Edward and Bella's child, Renesmee, in the last film.
Twilight fans never actually got to see the creepy doll, as Mackenzie Foy's face was projected onto it during the editing process. However, both Nikki and Mackenzie were previously interviewed on The Ellen Show, and they spoke about the behind-the-scenes work involved in filming with the creepy doll.
Nikki Reed explained that there were difficulties in holding the heavy doll: "I understand the theory behind it, you know, to have this little creature that does all the hand movements and stuff. I want the whole world to forgive me now before this movie comes out, because I'm holding like a 60-pound mechanical doll. It's really difficult for me."
Meanwhile, Wyck Godfrey, the Twilight producer, also recently spoke about the creepy animatronic doll: "Chuckesmee is one of the most grotesque animatronic babies ever to not be seen on film."
He added, "You're trying to create something that's otherworldly with Renesmee in the movie that has to be preternaturally intelligent yet still look like a baby but actually look a little bit more mature than one would be at one-day-old. So we ended up pulling the thing out on the day and shooting it."
"The second you're holding it up you realize this is never going to work. No fake thing is ever going to do the trick. If you're Bella, you're looking at it going, 'I don't want that thing. Put it back," Godfrey said.

Ontario, CA – Having an interesting, unique, and interactive website is one of the keys to drawing traffic to a brand or business but not many people have the know how to create such a website. There are companies and freelancers that specialize in helping their clients craft the perfect website that will draw in their target audience. The big decision that needs to be made by those interested in seeking out help with their website is whether they should go with an established company or a freelancer. While each one has its perks, the right freelancer could make digital dreams come true. IAMGaurav is a freelance web developer, who offers his unique expertise to the businesses and people of the Toronto area.
With a passion for programming, computers, and coffee, IAMGaurav has been working in programming for 6+ years. He has an impressive resume that boasts not only skills in HTML and Photoshop, but skills in custom software development and experience as a PHP developer as well as a Python developer. Gaurav promises that his services will turn his client's ideas into reality, help them improve the overall growth of their project, and never compromise on the quality of service given. With his experience in custom software development, he's able to give his clients powerful system components, complex system restructuring, entire web systems from scratch, and other supplementary services.
Many might question why they should even consider a freelancer when there are well-established agencies that do the same job. There are many benefits of hiring freelancers over a web development company. The obvious one is the cost. Without the burden of having to pay extra for overheads, clients pay for the time and labor of one person, meaning the cost will be more affordable. With a freelancer, clients have a direct line of communication withthem. There is no going through secretaries or account managers, the information comes directly from the developer and designer. Freelance web developers have the same amount of expertise. Sometimes even more since some companies only deal with specific coding and freelancers have the chance to be not only a Python developer but a PHP developer as well. With the right amount of research, a person can easily find a freelancer that has just as much experience or expertise as an agency.
It's extremely important for all businesses in this day and age to have a website that their audience can interact with. It's even more important that they have the right person to do the job. For residents of the Toronto area, that right person could Gaurav.

Of Cars and Hearts
While visiting a friend in the cardiology department of a hospital, the Rosh Hayeshiva of the Ponevez Yeshiva, Hagaon Rav Shach, zatzal, paid his respects to the department head. After hearing from him about all the outstanding features of the department the Rosh Hayeshiva asked the doctor how many years ago he bought his automobile.
When the reply was that it had been purchased that very year Rav Shach asked whether the previous one had broken down. The doctor explained that although the old one was still in decent shape he bought the latest model, something he does every year because some unforeseen problems always arise with cars, which are solved in the new models.
"As the head of a heart department," said the Rosh Hayeshiva in response, "you should learn an important lesson in faith from what you just told me. The heart of man today is the same heart that the first man had and there has never arisen a need for improvements as in the case of automobiles. This shows that in His infinite wisdom the Creator anticipated the problems that might arise and already solved them."

ESPN: Tim Tebow to Jaguars a 'virtual certainty'
NY Jets make no secret that they plan to release quarterback at end of season
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Tim Tebow may be coming home.
The national media is starting to latch on to a story Channel 4 Sport Director Sam Kourvaris broke nearly 3 weeks ago.
On Dec. 3 Kouvaris said, ""Barring something unforeseen happening, Tim Tebow will be a Jaguar next year. If the Jets release him, the Jaguars will sign him. If not, they'll trade something like a 7th round pick for him."
Various online news sources are reporting the Jacksonville Jaguars will make a move to acquire Tebow in the off season. .
The first indication came Saturday night after ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that Tebow to the Jaguars is "a virtual certainty."
Jaguars owner Shad Khan has said he wanted Tebow when the Denver Broncos were shopping him after the 2011 season, but heading into 2012, Jaguars team management was committed to making things work work with their 2011 first-round draft pick, Blaine Gabbert.
Gabbert continued to struggle in his second season and was put on Injured Reserve after hurting his shoulder in a game against the Houston Texans on Nov. 18. That's when talk surrounding the Jaguars quarterback competition began to heat up.
The Jets benched starting quarterback Mark Sanchez in Week 16 and promoted third-stringer, Greg McElroy, bypassing Tebow. Reports then surfaced that Tebow would ask to be traded or cut after the season.
Several online reports indicate the Jaguars will have an open quarterback competition in 2013.
ESPN, citing a source with the team, says it's a "high likelihood" Tebow will be part of the mix.
Fans who attended the Jaguars final home game of the season, a 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots, were overwhelmingly in favor of Tebow returning to his hometown.
"We just need to get Tebow. The Jets aren't using him. He's a winner," said Steve Mulligan.
Joey Ruliva seconded that thought.
"He's a champion! We need a champion! If they would have brought that man here this year they would have packed the stadium, regardless," Ruliva said.
But not everyone agrees that the former Heisman Trophy-winner is the right move for the Jaguars.
"I like him, but I don't think Tebow's the answer to our problems," Steve Castillo said.
If released, Tebow would be an unrestricted free agent.

Happy Birthday to British pianist Imogen Cooper, born on 28 August 1949. Renowned for her performances of Mozart and Schubert, Cooper released her first volume of live Schubert recordings on Avie earlier this year. 'One of the things which makes Schubert's music so great,' she told BBC Music Magazine this June, 'is that he could go so effortlessly from emotional happiness to utter darkness … he has a very sure footing going from one emotional territory to the other.'

Adult Male
Name: unnamed
Species: Dark Atramentum
Birthday: Thursday, May 31, 2012
Owner: Magics
Atramentums grow quickly, reaching adulthood after only one year. Despite being more intelligent than other cats, these companions remain very playful even when fully grown. As they continue to age, these companions become less and less energetic. Older atramentums are dignified creatures, and rarely leave the quiet of the main library. Both males and females possess the same attitudes and have markings painted onto their coats. While no one can determine what these markings say, it is clear that they are words or symbols of some sort. Males have different marks than females, making the two easy to tell apart. Females are also easy to spot because they are the more lethargic of the two, and nap more often, allowing them to do more work. Young atramentums are energetic enough, though, and wander where they will, exploring the castle. No one really minds as little kittens wander from classroom to classroom. As the kittens grow older, they too will be drawn towards books and will learn to write with their tails. Any adult atramentum is an incredibly talented scribe and greatly enjoys writing. As for where they make their homes, these creatures rarely leave the libraries. Instead, soft beds are created for them, and placed about randomly. The beds nearest the fire are usually occupied by one or two adult cats and on cold nights they can be found piled together for warmth. At times there are up to five cats sleeping on top of one another.
These cats can generally be found in the libraries, either lounging on desks or sleeping amongst the books. They seem to sleep even more than most cats, for it is when they are unconscious that atramentums work best. For hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, these felines have been used as scribes. Their nimble tails allow them to write far quicker than humans, and as they work when asleep, they never tire. Any magi with much research to undertake usually has one of these cats take notes. Nobles also use atramentums as letter writers, and even some dignitaries use them. The only issue with this is that the cats occasionally wake up. When awake, atramentums are often distracted by passing insects or interesting bits of paper. When this happens, the notes abruptly change to whatever topic has caught the cat's fancy, and unless checked, the notes will show information about chasing mice or eating fish. The atramentums sometimes write on a surface as they pass it, and if left alone a magi may come back to find their study covered in graffiti detailing the cat's activities throughout the day. Although their tongues erase whatever work they have done, an awake atramentum is usually too busy to fix their mistakes. For this reason, two atramentums usually work together, so that their work is as precise as possible. When these cats are done with their writing, they simply lick their tails clean so they don't leave a trail of ink behind them when they walk.

Wa HB2579
Not a 4WD bill, but affects some of the members.
Would do away with the Gold and Fish book and put in place a $150.00 permit for small scale mining and prospecting. Has not been scheduled for a hearing yet, but referred to the House Ag and Natural Resources Committee.
Contact Rep. Brian Blake stating you do not want this one to get a hearing, and give valid reasons why not. He can be contacted at 360-786-7870 or via email at; firstname.lastname@example.com.
There are enough regulations in place for fish protection now and the Gold and Fish book very clearly spells out where and when work is allowed.

Over my +20 years of airline flying, I've come across a large variety of storm clouds, but the one below, over Northern Pakistan was one for the record books. It was relatively isolated which makes it easy to circumnavigate, but was extremely active.

Extending to more than 50.000 feet, which is well above the maximum altitude airliners fly, it clearly showed the power of nature with lightning going on non-stop.

Roadless Area Conservation
Roadless Area conservation is designed to prevent the construction of new roads in areas of US Forest Service and Grasslands holdings that have shown to be currently roadless. Roadless areas offer protection to many of the resources we hold dear:
Wildlife: Roadless areas offer protection for fish and other wildlife, including more than 1,600 threatened, endangered, or sensitive plant and animal species.
Habitat: Roadless areas offer wildlife the unfragmented habitat that they need in order to thrive.
Water: Roadless areas protect water and watersheds from pollution— sedimentation and contaminants from the building, maintenance, and use of roads not to mention erosional impacts from accessed areas.
Refuge: Roadless areas offer quiet, pristine landscapes that allow visitors to experience the world of nature, unmarred by the noise and bustle of civilization.
Alpine Tundra: Tundra areas, both alpine and arctic, are particularly susceptible to damage. Some areas along the Trail Ridge Road, in Rocky Mountain National Park, have sustained damage from people walking off-trail. Damaged areas can take centuries to recover.
July 17, 2012
On July 1, 2012, the Obama administration and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack officially adopted the Colorado Roadless Rule as the guideline for managing roadless areas in Colorado National Forests.
From the Durango Herald Tribune , July 2 2012
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack signed the Colorado Roadless Rule on Monday, seemingly bringing to a close more than a decade of debate about the state's backcountry forests.
The rule puts 4.19 million acres of remote forests off limits to development and road-building in 363 separate roadless areas, the largest of which is north of Durango in the Hermosa area.
It has been a long time in the making, spanning the terms of three governors and three presidents.
The rule makes Colorado only the second state, along with Idaho, to complete a separate roadless rule. The rest of the country is working under a 2001 rule adopted by former President Bill Clinton.
President George W. Bush threw out Clinton's rule and encouraged states to write their own.
But courts later reinstated the Clinton rule. Last October, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld it against a challenge by the state of Wyoming, making the 2001 rule the law of the land in most of the other states.
Conservation groups fought hard against the Colorado rule, which originally included exemptions for ranching, natural gas and oil, coal mines, ski areas and logging. The rule went through several rewrites during the years, and conservation groups now support it.
"We recognize the need for flexibility to deal with issues like fuel reduction around communities," said David Nickum, executive director of Colorado Trout Unlimited, in a news release. "But the new rule pairs that flexibility with stronger protections for Colorado's native trout heritage and its best backcountry lands. It strikes the right balance for Colorado."
The rule still includes exceptions for a few coal mines and ski areas, plus fire safety. But supporters point to several improvements on the 2001 rule, including an updated map that adds 400,000 new acres and throws out 460,000 acres that no longer had roadless characteristics.
The rule also designates 1.22 million acres as "upper tier," where protections against development are even more stringent than the 2001 rule.

Some Colorado Conservationists are not very supportive of the Colorado Roadless Rule as in the following article: Click here for commentary
Below is a statement from Mike King, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, regarding the Roadless Rule ruling from the 10th Circuit on October 10, 2011.
Federal Court Reinstates Roadless Rule
"Roadless Areas represent the last of our wild and natural National Forest lands, providing multiple benefits including outstanding wildlife habitat, important supplies of clean water, and some of the best recreation lands in the country," said Erik Molvar, Wildlife Biologist with Biodiversity Conservation Alliance of Laramie, Wyoming.
Previously.........In 2001, after three years of analysis, the Forest Service adopted the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, which protected 58.5 million acres of national forest nationwide from most logging and road construction. When George Bush entered office, he modified this rule to allow states to pass their own roadless area designation rules. Colorado's roadless area protections can be found here. www.dnr.state.co.us/roadlessrule
SLVEC, along with other environmental organizations such as the Colorado Environmental Coalition and the Southern Rockies Conservation Alliance, has worked diligently to help preserve roadless areas in the Rio Grande National Forest. We were instrumental in taking photos and obtaining data for several wilderness and roadless areas in the forest. Pictures and other information from the Roadless Inventory Project can be seen at Colorado's Forest Legacy.
SLVEC continues to be involved in planning on the Rio Grande National Forest, and will continue to work to protect these important landscapes.
Roadless protections better later than never

V-Mart out of lineup with cut right thumb
DETROIT -- Victor Martinez was out of the Tigers' lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Blue Jays after cutting his right thumb on the bat rack in the dugout. He's listed as day to day.
Martinez was not available to hit at all Tuesday.
The cut happened after an at-bat in Sunday's series finale against the Yankees. The bat rack has a metal top with some bolt heads that rise out of the top, and Martinez sustained his cut on the top of his right thumb against the metal part of the rack.
The Tigers were off on Monday.
Andy Dirks took Martinez's place in the lineup as the designated hitter, batting fifth behind Prince Fielder. Don Kelly entered the starting lineup as the left fielder, batting eighth.
Martinez had a slow opening week at the plate. He showed no signs of rust in Spring Training, after he missed last season recovering from knee surgery. Martinez's 3-for-21 opening week included an 0-for-4 performance Sunday against the Yanks. He flew out to shallow center in his final at-bat with runners at the corners and one out against reliever David Robertson.

The Creation Of The Universe
The Basic Concepts in the Qur'an
Sources of Wisdom
O you who believe! If you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion (to judge between right and wrong), remove from you (all) evil (that may afflict) you, and forgive you: for Allah is the Lord of grace unbounded. (Al-Anfal, 29)
The starting point of fearing Allah is having a conception of the attributes of Allah and of the judgement Day. Allah grants man the sense to judge between right and wrong only when man fears Him. This is actually a kind of comprehension attained as a result of the softening heart with the fear of Allah:
Allah has revealed (from time to time) the most beautiful Message in the form of a Book, consistent with itself, (yet) repeating (its teaching in various aspects): the skins of those who fear their Lord tremble there at; then their skins and their hearts soften at the celebration of Allah's praises. Such is the guidance of Allah: He guides therewith whom He pleases, but such as Allah leaves to stray, can have none to guide him. (Az-Zumar, 23)
Man should always strive to have more of this fear. To this end, he should pray, reflect on Allah's power, might and punishment, and endeavour to have a deeper comprehension of Him.
So fear Allah as much as you can; listen and obey and spend in charity for the benefit of your own soul.Those saved from the covetousness of their own souls are the ones that achieve prosperity. (At-Taghabun, 16)
Possessing the sense to judge between right and wrong is an indication of the wisdom of a person. Such a person is surely endowed with the capacity to ponder. This gift of comprehension is called (insight) or "vision" in the Qur'an. Etymologically, in Arabic the origin of the word basirah "insight" is "to see." Yet this is quite different from the normal act of seeing. A person lacking insight is described as one whose heart and mind is covered lest he should understand the Qur'an."
And We cast a veil upon their hearts (and minds) lest they should understand the Qur'an, and made them hard of hearing. When you commemorate your Lord and Him alone in the Qur'an, they turn on their backs, fleeing (from the truth). (Al-Isra, 46)
The word "understand" in the verse above is of great significance. In many other verses, the lack of understanding prevalent among people is mentioned. This conveys a message: in the physical sense, unbelievers perceive ( in other words, they hear ) what they are told by believers, yet they fail to comprehend the meaning and content of the message. This is a state of inebriation, a shift of consciousness and a metaphysical fact. Allah informs us about a "veil cast over their hearts:"
And who is more wrong than one who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, but turns away from them, forgetting the (deeds) which his hands have sent forth? Truly, We have cast veils over their hearts lest they should understand this, and made them hard of hearing. if you called them to guidance, even then would they never accept guidance. (Al-Anfal, 57)
Unbelievers, every now and then, confess their inherent lack of understanding of the religion communicated to them. This is straightforwardly manifested in the verse where the people of Midian dare to say to Shu'aib, "O Shu'aib! much of what you say we do not understand! In fact, among us we see that you have no strength! Were it not for your family, we should certainly have stoned you! for you have among us no great position!"(Hud, 91)
No man devoid of understanding can be guided to the true path, except by the will of Allah. Allah states in the following verse:
Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to you: But can you make the deaf hear, incapable as they are of understanding? And among them are some who look at you : but can you guide the blind, bereft as they are of sight? (Jonah, 42-43)
Consequently, those who turn to faith are solely those who are endowed with wisdom and insight. Correspondingly, believers are under obligation to "call on Allah resting upon conscious insight:"
Say "This is my way: Resting upon conscious insight accessible to reason, I am calling (you alI) unto God—I and whosoever follows me.Glory to Allah! I am not of the idolaters. (Joseph, 108)
Being deprived of insight and wisdom, unbelievers think it of benefit to themselves to avoid any struggle in the way of Allah. With such an attitude, they commit themselves to dwelling in Hell for all eternity:
Those who were left behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the messenger of Allah: they had no wish to strive and fight, with their wealth and their persons, in the cause of Allah. they said, to each other, "Do not go forth to war in the heat." Say, "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand! (At-Tawba, 81)

The discussion on whether LeBron James can be better than Michael Jordan is back, and guess who's fueling the debate?
Yes, the opinionated and outspoken Charles Barkley once again says James could someday surpass Jordan and be better than 'His Airness' by the time LeBron's career comes to an end.
According to ESPN, Barkley made this comments in the first episode of NBA TV's "Open Court," back for its second season. The show features former NBA players — who also work for TNT as television analysts — going back and forth on various topics in a round-table format.
"I do think he can be better than Michael," Barkley said. "I thought I would never compare somebody to Michael Jordan. But this guy, LeBron James, he does everything well. Michael did everything well. LeBron James is just bigger, stronger, faster. That's the only difference."
The debate is nothing new. Jordan often is regarded as the greatest player of all time, but James and his freakish God-given gifts and abilities have made many think he could someday surpass the former Chicago Bulls superstar.
LeBron is coming off a summer where he won his first NBA Championship with the Miami Heat and won a gold medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. After many years of falling short in the postseason and the subsequent attacks on his mental strength, the feeling is that these triumphs could be the spark to propel James past Jordan in the "GOAT" conversation.
Statistically, James is without question the greatest player that we've ever seen, but any conversation about who is the greatest ever — at least in the modern era of basketball — begins and ends with championships won. In a team sport where individuals receive all the glory, the greatest players are judged by how many times they can lead their team to the mountain top.
And LeBron James, for as great as he is, still has a long way to go in catching MJ in that regard.

The keynote address at the ASAN Nuclear Forum in Seoul, South Korea, as delivered on February 19, 2013.
I want to thank Dr. CHUNG Moo Joon, Dr. HAHM Chaibong and ASAN for putting together this conference and giving me the opportunity to speak this morning. I would like to take this time to tell you all about the good work of the MacArthur Foundation, all around the world. And perhaps someday I will.
But I think it is inevitable, with this audience, in this city, at this time, that I would instead address Northeast Asian Security; particularly the impact on the region of North Korea's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.
Let me begin by observing that we are very close to the 20th anniversary of the beginning of talks to address the first North Korean nuclear crisis in 1993. That crisis, you will recall, arose when the IAEA found the DPRK to be in violation of its safeguards commitments.
The Security Council then took action, and North Korea announced its intension to withdraw from the NPT. The rest, as they say, is history. But now, twenty years later, it is appropriate to begin by asking what has changed over the years, what's new, and what difference does it make?
I note first that many periods of crisis with North Korea have occurred over the last two decades. The United States has changed Presidents three times since then, and North Korea has changed leaders twice.
So, while there is a déjà vu about today's situation, there are obviously important differences as well.
One difference is that we have indeed "been here before", we now have experience with each other and, like experienced judo players, we know each other's moves and favorite throws.
There are the recurring threats of death and destruction from the North, followed by nuclear explosives and ballistic missile tests, and sometimes by dangerous and provocative military and naval actions.
For our part, we have predictably reacted by intensifying the sanctions regime against the North, increasing its isolation from the rest of the world and probably added to the hardships facing the North Korean people.
In between crises we have had periods of political engagement. The North has more than once committed to eventually giving up its nuclear weapons program. Political and economic contacts between South and North have increased, and the United States has engaged in diplomatic activity, at different times, involving different numbers of parties, from the bilateral at two, to a full house at six.
But before we conclude that "le plus sa change, le plus la meme chose," let us remember that 20 years ago North Korea had accumulated only a small amount of plutonium, had no uranium enrichment program, and had neither tested nor built any nuclear weapons. And its most sophisticated ballistic missile was the medium range No Dong.
Now, a fair estimate would be that North Korea has accumulated 20 to 40 kgs of plutonium, enough for up to 8 nuclear weapons, conducted three nuclear explosive tests, is increasing its fissile material stocks daily with a modern gas centrifuge enrichment program, and is headed for a robust nuclear weapons program mated to a ballistic missile capability of intermediate and eventually intercontinental range.
But what does all that mean?
First, I think however one characterizes the policy we have pursued over the last 20 years—engagement, containment, whatever—it has failed to reduce the threat posed by North Korea to the security of the region.
What is that threat?
Starkly put, it is that some incident or provocation from the North will result in a significant military or naval engagement on or near the Korean peninsula and, exacerbated by the presence of nuclear weapons in the North, it will lead to a larger conflict and the tragic loss of life on all sides.
The threat is also, of course, that nuclear weapons could be used in such a conflict.
Short of war, the threat is that the growing nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs in the North will lead the governments of other countries in the region to reconsider their commitment to non-nuclear status and the non-proliferation regime will unravel, reducing the security of countries in the region and around the world.
The threat is also that, at any moment, North Korea will transfer some sensitive bit of nuclear weapons material or technology to a terrorist group or to a country known to sponsor terrorists. I note that this has already happened, referring here to the plutonium separation plant that North Korea built in Syria and which Israel destroyed by bombing before its completion six years ago.
This particular threat—nuclear terrorism—is the thing we worry about most in the United States. It is not your major concern, but it is one of ours. Right now, one analyst, Graham Allison of Harvard, argues that the North Korean nuclear test is sort of an announcement that "the store is open for business," that the North will sell HEU, nuclear weapons designs or even nuclear weapons to all comers. Not a happy thought if you live in one of America's cities.
I would ask you all to understand that for Americans this threat is far greater and unlike the threat that may someday be posed by North Korean nuclear weapons delivered by ballistic missiles. That threat may be met first by deterrence, the promise of retaliation against a strike, or even by mounting a defense by denial, a ballistic missile defense, which would shoot down an incoming missile.
But the terrorist threat—an improvised nuclear device, delivered anonymously and unconventionally by boat or truck across our long and unprotected borders—is one against which we have no certain deterrent or defensive response. This is why the threat of North Korean transfer is so serious from the American perspective.
The second thing that strikes me as true now is that the dominant, but mostly unspoken question of twenty years ago about North Korea, still plagues us today:
Does the North pursue a nuclear weapons program because it fears an attack from the South, an invasion aimed at regime change by the United States, in other words, because it wants a deterrent for defensive purposes?
Or, is the North actually unalterably committed to reunifying the peninsula by force, and intent on breaking the South's alliance with the United States by holding American cities hostage to a ballistic missile strike? Or, in other words, is the North's nuclear weapons program aimed at deterring the United States for offensive purposes?
Simply put, if the first characterization is correct, there is hope for diplomacy, hope that, over time, the right formula might be found for reducing tensions, de-fusing the nuclear issue and building trust among all parties.
But if the second proposition is more nearly correct, evolutionary change should not be expected, and perhaps the best that can be achieved is the constant avoidance of armed conflict, but with no genuine reduction in tensions.
Under the circumstances, I conclude now, as I did twenty years ago, that exploring the North Korean position, carefully testing the North to discern its intensions, engaging diplomatically to see if tensions can genuinely be reduced and a political settlement found is the best way to proceed. All, of course, while maintaining military readiness. We cannot afford to leave any doubt in the minds of those in the North about our determination and ability to meet and defeat any threat that they might present.
The third thing that seems clear to me then, if this is the route we decide to take, is that an exclusive focus in our diplomacy on the one thing that troubles us most, the North's nuclear weapons program, is not a productive way to proceed. This is the opposite of what I thought twenty years ago. Then, I thought we needed to limit our goal to stopping the North Korean nuclear weapons program. Now I am convinced that our engagement must be broad with the aim to address a range of political, economic, and security issues.
That said, we need to be clear that the end game must envision the North's abandonment of its nuclear weapons program. We need not, indeed should not, lead with this objective, but there can be no ambiguity about this being a feature of any political process structured to address all parties' concerns.
This approach resembles more closely the six-party diplomacy of 2007 than the bilateral approach that gave us the Agreed Framework in 1994. To some, this may suggest that for engagement to work, we should resurrect the six-party formulae. I am not so sure. I think at the core is the North Korean concern about survival of its political system. This suggests that Seoul, Washington and Beijing are the essential players, at least initially.
There are probably many reasons why the arrangements of 2007 came undone, but I suspect the failure to reach a clear understanding of how the nuclear issue would be resolved was critical to the failure. We should not repeat that mistake; there will be plenty of opportunities for us to make new ones.
Three more points need to be made in connection with any proposal to engage the North.
First, there is no basis for successfully dealing with the North absent a solid foundation for policy rooted in the US-ROK Alliance. The North will always look for ways to shake that foundation, but the national security of both our countries and the basis for a political settlement with the North that includes the elimination of nuclear weapons from the peninsula, assumes a strong alliance between Seoul and Washington. That has always been true and will remain so.
Second, China has a legitimate interest in how matters are resolved with North Korea, and can play an important role in shaping outcomes. Consulting with Beijing early in the development of a policy of political engagement will be critical to its success.
Other countries, Japan and Russia, for starters, would have to be included as well, of course, before any settlement was concluded.
And, finally, I cannot imagine a protracted engagement with North Korea—and if engagement is to succeed, it will be protracted—which fails to attract sufficient domestic political support in the United States and South Korea. In short, while our diplomacy may begin quietly, it must eventually be open, based on realistic assessments of our national security interests, and reflect neither naiveté nor wishful thinking. We are, after all, democracies.
Among the implications of this proposition is that restraint must be part of a negotiating process. Provocations from the North of the kind we have seen in the past must be understood as incompatible with negotiations, undercutting the domestic support essential to sustain diplomatic engagement.
When I was involved in negotiations with North Korea twenty years ago and visited Seoul for consultations with the government of President Kim Yum Sam, I was often asked by the press if I was pessimistic or optimistic about our chances for success. I never seemed to come up with a satisfactory answer. But if you asked me today, I would say neither word captures the attitude we need to strike. We should all be realists.
If it were to turn out that for now, at least, there is no way to address the North Korean nuclear program through negotiation, that as Pyongyang now claims, and critics of diplomacy have asserted for decades, the North will not give up its nuclear weapons program, then I would not favor the United States engaging in a broad negotiation with the North. Such as negotiation could only serve to legitimize the North's nuclear weapons status.
Sanctions, political containment and sustaining a strong deterrent and conventional military defense would seem to me to be more appropriate.
But, as a realist and a pragmatist, I want to test the proposition that there is no negotiated way to a nuclear weapons-free North Korea, before we simply act on that assumption.
Thank you.

The number of image versions in your projects will affect the size of a vault. The more versions you create per master, the smaller a vault will be in comparison to your library. Database files that deal with versions' thumbnails and previews are in the Aperture library but are not included in a vault. Restoring from a vault rebuilds these files dynamically. If your workflow involves creating a large number of versions, then your vault will be smaller in comparison to your library.
Plug-ins are not stored in the library but are included a vault backup. If you have a large number of plug-ins, your vault size will grow relative to the library.

Previously on Lost Girl: Jenny Schecter and Dyson got hit by the Hogwarts Express. Lauren got hit on by Betty McRae. Tiny Tam hit puberty. And that's what you missed on Fae!
So Cleo and Dyson pass through the Fae version of Platform 9¾ to find themselves on the Death Train. Dyson doesn't feel so hot afterward, but Cleo blows in his ear and it's all better. Look, I know Jenny might well be the most hated character in lesbian universe, but I'd probably feel better if Mia Kirshner blew into my ear, too. Girl is aging nicely. And, as already noted, that skin is like buttah.
As an elemental, she can pass through dimensions without its killer side effects, but non-elementals like Wolf Boy can't. Hence the sweet somethings. Also, put a sticky note on that ear thing because that much exposition always means Key Plot Point. Dyson starts yammering about how they need to find Bo, and the train shakes and shudders like an angry wildebeest. So he says it again to make sure there's a cause and effect because, just like your neighbor's golden retriever, he's cute but not the brightest dog on the block. Yep, confirmed, correlation is causation in this instance.
Speaking of she whose name makes the demon gods shake, Bo is running through the forest in a flowing nightgown. I could take the high road and talk about how nice it is to finally see Anna Silk back on the show in full capacity. And how glowing she looks as a new mother. But I'm also the person who gives you Boobs O'Clock each week. So who the hell do we think we're kidding? Fuck yeah, post-pregnancy boobs. There, I said it. Like I won't mention the two enormous elephants in the room. Please.
Bo runs into some abandoned castle-chateau thingie (what do I know, I'm an American, any building older than last week is historic to me) in the woods. Just as she's getting her bearings a family walks in. There's mom, dad and bratty teenage daughter Megan Fox. Everyone is all open-mouthed until bratty Megan Fox (is that redundant?) clocks Bo on the noggin with a frying pan. Well, points for proactivity, I guess.
Also being proactive is the handyman in Lauren's old apartment. He's fixing the air conditioning for reasons unknown to us all. But seriously, who called in the faulty AC? It wasn't Lauren because she's at Ronny's. It wasn't the Ash because there is no Ash. And it wasn't the torture-happy Una Mens because I don't think they care about keeping a pleasant air temperature in their indentured servants' housing units. Fine, whatever, maybe it's routine maintenance. While he's up there he finds one of the Wanted posters for Karen Beattie hidden inside that has been gumming up the works. OK, hold up. Suspension of disbelief over. There's no way Lauren kept that information and even fewer ways she kept it and hid it inside her AC. That is unless she's been marathoning Dexter and in a sleep-deprived haze thought she'd pay homage to him with that hiding place.
OK, fine, back to the plot. Some shapely but scraggly looking legs and bare feet pad into the apartment. We hear a familiar luscious languid voice talking to the maintenance man. Ding-dong, the Morrigan is alive. She's alive and able to goo-ify her victims. Was that something we knew she could do? Because a) yuck and b) yuck some more.
What a sight for sore eye (see what I did there?) Emmanuelle Vaugier is. I sincerely hope the eye patch is a permanent addition, but I fear it won't be. Just think of all the pirate/fae crossover fun we could have with her? Avast, matey, give me all your booty and also your treasure.

Locus interviews Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Michael Dirda, who's been covering science fiction books for the Washington Post for 25 years. And he talks about the huge "breakout" books that he's had reservations about, but also admits that the critics are often wrong about the books that really matter:
I've also always tried to review at least one major book in the field each fall and spring, usually those that publishers think of as 'breakout books.' More often than not though, I seem — regretfully — to have given many of them mixed reviews. I admired but had cavils or, in some instances, serious reservations about Neil Gaiman's American Gods, Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Elizabeth Kostova's The Historian, Neal Stephenson's Anathem. Anathem, for instance, won the Locus Award, and a lot of people obviously love the book, but it didn't work for me. I found it too long, too slow-moving, too heavy.
Of course, I could be dead wrong about Stephenson's novel. The books we can't make sense of, that knock us off-kilter, that we don't accept readily, will often be the books that matter most to the next generation. In fact, that's generally the sign of a really important book: it doesn't fit into our received expectations, it bothers us, it 'doesn't work.' Sometimes an ambitious failure is more worth having than a successful little novel that is perfectly well done.
The whole interview is well worth reading, both the selections online and the entire thing in the print magazine. [Locus Magazine]

Courtyard Montreal Downtown
380 Rene-Levesque Boulevard West
Montreal, QC
Agile Release Planning Workshop
This workshop is also the third day of our CSM (Certified ScrumMaster) or CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) courses. We do this workshop after every CSM or CSPO. Our goal is to make the courses much more useful by immediately following them with a practical workshop using real work.
This is key: We are using your real work to do Agile Release Planning.
The workshop is based on Joe Little's book on Agile Release Planning.
The Workshop covers three main topics:
- Agile Release Planning (occupies most of the time)
- Release Plan Refactoring (a.k.a. Product Backlog grooming and Product Backlog refinement)
- Rolling into the first Sprint and the impact on the meetings in the first Sprint (as time permits)
The Agile Release Planning topic (#1) includes the following with a real project (or product work):
- Agree on the Vision
- Develop the Product Backlog
- Estimate Business Value
- Estimate Effort
- Discuss Risks, Dependencies, Learning, Minimum Marketable Feature Set and Other Factors
- Order the Work
- 'Complete' the Release Plan
- Discuss Communication
We form a team at each table (typically four to five people), and each team works on a different set of real work. It is even better if you can bring a full real team to the workshop.
- Working with a real team on real work is an excellent way to start using Scrum.
- Attendees gain confidence that 'I can really do this.'
- The workshop brings out each person's real issues and concerns.
- The participants find that some concerns turn out to be insubstantial, those concerns dissipate, and then we address the other concerns.
- You are prepared to really start Scrum "on Monday." For example, you now have a decent Product Backlog.
Other Benefits:
- You earn 7 SEUs toward the requirements of the CSP (Certified Scrum Professional) certification.
- You earn 7 PDUs toward your PMI requirements.
- You will receive a free copy of Joe's book, "Agile Release Planning."
The Trainer:
- Joe Little, an experienced Agile coach and Scrum Trainer (CST), will lead this workshop.
- Joe has given this workshop over 100 times.
- Joe has co-trained eight times with Jeff Sutherland (one of the co-creators of Scrum), and we believe you get more 'real Scrum' because of this co-training.
- Joe has an MBA and 20+ years of senior level Big 6 and related consulting experience.
- Joe has in-depth practical experience in helping teams become very productive with Scrum and Agile.
- He often co-teaches with other great Scrum trainers. Take a look at Joe's blog, Agile & Business.
- Joe is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) associated with Scrum Alliance.
You may want to ask about our Referral Program and about our Refresher Program.
Who Should Attend:
- Anyone may attend
- The best: The whole Scrum Team and the related Business Stakeholders
- Others interested in Agile estimating and planning should attend
If you take the workshop standalone, we recommend that at least one person from your group has taken either our CSM or CSPO course.
- You should have taken a CSM course or CSPO course with Joe Little
- Or, have read most of Joe Little's book on Agile Release Planning
- Or, discuss with a colleague who has attended our course, and come with that colleague.
Registration and Fees:
- Price for the workshop is $400.
- You may receive better pricing if you take the workshop in conjunction with a CSM or CSPO course.
- There is a $25 early bird discount.
- In addition, there is a 3% discount off the net due if you pay with cash (e.g., at the beginning of the course). To secure this discount, you must pay a non-refundable $100 deposit in advance. Normally this is just a partial prepayment.
The fee covers food and beverage (typically, a continental breakfast, AM break, lunch and a PM break).
Please register using the 'Register Now' button (above right). If you register multiple people, please send us an email with their names and email addresses.
You may also contact our office and we can discuss other payment methods, receipts, invoices, etc. Payment methods include USD check, money transfer, credit card, PayPal, over-the-phone (CC), cash, etc. All payments should be received before the workshop starts. Once we receive payment you will be registered.
The workshop date may be changed up until 16 days prior to the start date. We will advise you.
Policy for Changes and Refunds
If for any reason you cannot make a course, you may send another person in your place for free (no additional fee). You must identify that person before the course starts.
There are other options and other situations. Some involve notable fees or deductions. These rules are discussed at this webpage. You are responsible for reading these rules carefully. In general, fees or extra costs are more likely if you are within 16 days of the course start.
Please contact Cassandra if you have questions (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Off-duty officer revives boy found not breathing in Wildwood Highlands minigolf pond
Child taken to hospital while police investigate in Hampton Township
A young boy who was found almost lifeless after falling into a minigolf course pond is recovering in the hospital, thanks to the quick actions of an off-duty Pittsburgh police officer.
"Not by any means" does Officer Corey Harcha consider himself a hero. "I just did what I was trained to do," he said.
Hampton Township police say the almost 3-year-old boy slipped away from his foster family at the Wildwood Highlands family fun center at about 9 p.m. Thursday. Somehow, he fell into a small pond and was not able to get out.
Officials haven't said how long the child spent underwater, but he was unresponsive and not breathing by the time he was pulled out.
"As I pulled into the parking lot and got out of my car, I heard a lady screaming from across the parking lot. She come running over to me with a lifeless toddler in her hand," Harcha said. "I asked what had happened, and she stated that he had fallen in the water and was not breathing."
Identifying himself as a police officer, Harcha said he asked the woman, who told him she was the boy's aunt, to put the child on the ground and gave his phone to his friend to call 911 while he went to work on the boy.
"After a couple of minutes of performing CPR, he started to come back to. He started to cough," he said. "Then, once he started to breathe, I waited for responding units and medics and let them take over."
The boy was taken to UPMC Children's Hospital, where he remained on Friday morning. His name has not been released to the public. "I think I'm going to try to take a visit to the hospital if they'll let me in," Harcha said.
Authorities say they are investigating why the child was unsupervised when he fell into the water.
"Initially, she was standing by herself in the golf course, screaming. But she wasn't screaming anything. She was just screaming," said Harcha, a six-year veteran of the force. "The only thing she told me was that he had wandered away."
An owner of Wildwood Highlands told Channel 4 Action News the center is cooperating with the Allegheny County police investigation, supplying them with security video. She believes it was a case of a child being left unattended.
Channel 4 Action News checked with state regulators about the history of the fun center.
"There have been no accidents reported, nor have there been any incidents requiring investigation in the past three years at Wildwood Highlands," said Nicole L. C. Bucher, deputy press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, in an email to Channel 4 Action News reporter Bob Mayo. "This recent incident is under investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Bureau of Ride and Measurement Standards."
Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard said, "Our hearts and our prayers go out to the toddler and the family, in hopes that he will have a full recovery."
Harcha said he hopes to reach out again to touch the life he saved. "I think I'm going to try to take a visit to the hospital, if they'll let me in," he said.

Scientific Guide to Global Warming Skepticism21 December 2010
The Skeptical Science team (which includes myself) have recently completed a 16-page booklet called The Scientific Guide to Global Warming Skepticism. (Actually it was completed a fortnight ago, but I forgot to link to it at the time. Anyway, better late than never.)
To quote John Cook's blog post launching the Guide:
Scientific skepticism is healthy. In fact, science by its very nature is skeptical. Genuine skepticism means considering the full body of evidence before coming to a conclusion. However, when you take a close look at arguments expressing climate 'skepticism', what you often observe is cherry picking of pieces of evidence while rejecting any data that don't fit the desired picture. This isn't skepticism. It is ignoring facts and the science.
The Scientific Guide to Global Warming Skepticism looks at both the evidence that human activity is causing global warming and the ways that climate 'skeptic' arguments can mislead by presenting only small pieces of the puzzle rather than the full picture.
The Guide explains the science in brief, plain language without getting too technical. For those who wish to dig deeper into the science, more detailed treatments can be found at the following pages (often presented with varying levels of complexity from Basic to Advanced):
- Human CO2 emissions is tiny compared to natural emissions
- Global warming stopped in 1998
- It's cooling
- Climate sensitivity is low
- Climate has changed in the past
- CO2 lags temperature
- CO2 doesn't cause much warming
- The warming trend is due to microsite influences
- The temperature record is unreliable
- The hockey stick is broken
- Global warming is a good thing
- Climategate shows there's a conspiracy among climate scientists
- There's no scientific consensus

What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, right?
How many times are black people going to place their eggs in a Clinton basket and expect something different?
Other than play the saxophone and have an office in Harlem, why do we love Bill, and other than being married to Bill, why do we love Hillary?
As much as we all loved to call Bill Clinton the "First Black President," my good friend, prominent Tallahassee attorney Chuck Hobbs broke it down rather well when he wrote this:
"Don't get me wrong, I respected some aspects of Clinton's presidency, but his legacy with respect to race included not only advocating causes that gutted high-paying blue collar jobs in the Midwest (NAFTA) and others that imprisoned more black men than ever. He and his wife also joined in lock step with Newt Gingrich in promulgating "welfare reform" that made black mothers who were already catching hell to raise their kids catch even more hell."
You can read Chuck Hobbs' article in its entirety here.
During Hillary Clinton's 2008 primary race against Barack Obama, her true colors, as well as Bill's, started to show. They are all for black people as long as we are asking how high when they say jump.
When the issue came up of Florida and Michigan breaking the rules and being punished for it, Hillary Clinton kept quiet. She allowed her surrogates to advocate for cheating. Even Donna Brazile famously said that when you want to change the rules in the middle of the game, it's called cheating. Hillary Clinton wanted to win at all costs, and she didn't care who she had to roll over to do it. Even her supporters got downright rabid. Remember Harriet Christian and her "inadequate black man" rant?
There are still those who say Hillary and her camp were the source of the Jeremiah Wright scandal. She wanted to damage Obama however she could.
They say Hillary and her camp helped fuel the birth certificate issue, even though she knew it was a non-issue, she wanted to damage Obama anyway she could.
The infamous 3 a.m. ad she ran was a thinly veiled racist swipe at Obama, because while your little white children are sleeping, this black man couldn't possibly protect them.
Bill Clinton, who hilariously enough was jealous that Obama was going to be the REAL first black president, tried to demean him as only a black candidate in South Carolina and tried to brush him off as nothing.
When Bill Clinton thought Rep. James Clyburn was "pulling strings" behind the scenes in South Carolina, where Hillary Clinton lost to Obama, he said to Clyburn, "If you bastards want a fight, you damn well will get one".
Don't believe me, hear it from Clyburn's own lips here.
Black people need to realize when they are appreciated, and when they are being used.
If Hillary Clinton wasn't whipping/nae-naeing, dabbing, and whatnot before, why do it now?
Hillary knows that what is saving her butt now is the African-American community.
The only reason THAT is the case is because her NAME is familiar. I want her GAME to be familiar as well. It isn't as fun as y'all think it is.
We talk about how our African-American men are disproportionately behind bars, and here Hillary Clinton is, taking large sums of money from the private prison industry.
She talks a lot about her advocacy for children -- black children, Latino children, etc., but at the same time, she supports policies that send the parents of those children to jail.
I guess that makes the private prison industry folks who line her pockets happy, right?
What irks me most of all are the endorsements of the families of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, and Eric Garner. These families have become OUR families in a way. Clinton knows that. I feel she is using that to get our votes via our empathy and sympathy for those families and the tragedies they suffered.
What is Hillary going to do next? Find the family of Emmett Till and send out an endorsement letter from them? I think if it were not for the fact that Sandra Bland's family KNOWS the sincerity of Bernie Sanders -- he did what he did with them outside the public eye -- Hillary Clinton would have tried to get HER family to send out an endorsement letter.
I would imagine if Bernie Sanders asked that family to endorse him, they would. But it appears as though he is above using tragedy for personal gain.
Not Hillary Clinton.
The Latino community had it right when they told her that she was not their abuela.
Black folks, she ain't your Madea, Harriet Tubman, Sista Souljah, Ride-or-die, or none of that.
I'm beginning to think she isn't even your friend.
