Two education stories that came out over the weekend revealed unintended consequences to education of US law and a United Nations Security Council resolution.
The first story—"A Popular Principal, Wounded by Government's Good Intentions" (NYTimes, July 18)—tells of the removal of a Burlington, Vermont school principal Joyce Irvine from her leadership position at a school with 97 percent low income children, and 50% foreign-born children, a large number of whom are refugees who have had traumatic experiences of one kind or another.
Although all comers are impressed by the accomplishments of the children from year to year, the testing system under the No Child Left Behind Act—which has meant that some new-comers from Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan, for example, have had to take an English language state math test after a month or less in the United States, for example—is not adapted to this type of situation.
As a result of standardized tests offered under these conditions, the school scored poorly, and the school district was faced with a choice of fulfilling heart-breaking requirements—closing the school; removing half the staff and the principal; or removing only the principal and transforming the school—to receive as much as $3 million in federal stimulus funds, or forgoing the stimulus funds. The decision was that removing the principal was the least damaging choice.
The principal is so highly regarded that she has been given another job by the school district that removed her and both the Burlington school superintendent and US Senator Bernie Sanders have spoken very highly of her.
The second story—"Standardized English Tests Are Halted in Iran" (NYTimes, July 17)—explains that the UN Security Council resolution of sanctions against Iran as well as US sanctions make it impossible for Educational Testing Service (ETS), which administers the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), to accept payment of registration fees from Iran.
As a result, registration for the TOEFL testing program has been suspended, making things more difficult for people whom the sanctions were not intended to affect in this way. The situation may, however, be short-lived because a State Department spokesman has reported that explorations of alternative means to allow the program to resume are under consideration.

At present, we have been criticized for being more interested and appreciative to Western music. Also, we can see that almost all our local artists are into revivals and covers of Western music as well and because of this, many foreign people criticizes Filipinos for being copycats and most of all being trying hard Westerners. These criticisms are often seen in websites such as Youtube and more. Does this mean that we really don't have anything original? Or is the famed Original Filipino Music or OPM a false representation of Philippine Music? Is Philippine Music now in oblivion? Well for me, I believe that Philippine Music is still at its best shape despite of the criticisms thrown to it. Even if majority of our present artists are keen into reviving and doing covers of a foreign song, we must take note that the artists makes it as his or her own song by giving a different attack on the song; changing the delivery of the song, adding instruments that showcases Philippine instruments and beats, by adding other elements that is Filipino in nature and more adept to Philippine culture. Also, not all of our artists revive foreign music because there are still a lot of Filipino artists who composes original songs and melodies that are appreciated by the Filipino masses. Examples of these are the compositions of Ryan Cayabyab, Louie Ocampo, Ogie Alcasid and many more. And as I can see it, the modern way of colonization by the foreign oppressors is through their music that breaks through the local markets of the different countries in the world like the Philippines. And like before, there are still Filipinos who give importance to their own music, who still believe in the importance of Philippine music and who is willing to do something in order to protect and preserve it against the foreign music who slowly affects our local music scene. I am confident with the Philippine Music especially on my own observation with its present stand in the society, it dominates the airwaves, it dominates the hit charts, it dominates the concert scenes, and it dominates sales records. Our very own music is still alive and kicking butts and hopefully this trend will continue not only to preserve, protect and revive Philippine Music but also it is a way of remembering and giving importance with the contributions and sacrifices of the early Filipinos who fought for freedom and who gave their all for the sake of Nationalism!

David Moyes: Alex Ferguson wants Man Utd fans to back new boss
- From the section Football
Sir Alex Ferguson wants Manchester United's fans to support David Moyes when he takes over as the club's manager this summer.
The retiring Ferguson made the request as he thanked the club's supporters for an "unbelievable" send-off in his final home game as United boss on Sunday.
"When we had bad times here, everyone stood by me and your job now is to stand by your new manager," he said.
Moyes will leave Everton to join United on a six-year deal from 1 July.
Ferguson became United manager in November 1986 but did not lift a trophy until 1990, when they won the FA Cup.
Despite that lack of initial success, the club's supporters and board stood by him. Now the 71-year-old, who went on to win a total of 38 trophies during his 26-year reign, wants Moyes to be given the same backing.
Ferguson's last game as United boss will be at West Brom on Sunday, his 1,500th in charge of the Red Devils.
On Sunday, his side beat Swansea 2-1 at Old Trafford. Mexican striker Javier Hernandez gave the home side the lead and Rio Ferdinand scored a late winner after Michu had equalised.
Afterwards, Ferguson addressed the 75,572 crowd before he was presented with the Premier League trophy for this season's title triumph.
"Everyone at the club and you the fans have been the most fantastic experience of my life," said the emotional Scot.
"Thank you. I have been very fortunate to manage some of the greatest players in the country. These players have won the championship in fantastic fashion. Well done to them."
Ferguson also revealed more details about his decision to step down.
"I decided to retire last Christmas," said the former St Mirren, Aberdeen and Scotland boss. "Things changed when my wife Cathy's sister died. She has lost her best friend, her sister. Also, I wanted to go out a winner."
He also said it had been "very difficult" to keep his decision a secret
"There were times when we sometimes blurted it out to the family," he said. "We told our sons in March. My brother didn't even know until Tuesday."
Ferguson, who will stay on at Old Trafford as a director and ambassador, added he would not be retiring completely.
"I've got a lot of things to do," he said. "My son, Jason, has been organising things. I won't be sitting still."

The ProblemEffects to DateFuture EffectsLate Already?ThresholdsIs it Our Fault?Our ResponsibilityScepticismKyoto Agreement
Some predicted Future Effects
of Climate Change
Increased average temperatures: the IPCC (International Panel
for Climate Change) predict a global
rise of between 1.1ºC and 6.4ºC by 2100 depending on some scientific uncertainties and the extent to which
the world
decreases or increases greenhouse gas emissions. And 95 years is a short
time! Some researchers suggest a lower temperature range; however, others say that,
taking into account
the extra effects of thresholds being breached
("feedback factors"),
we are risking a rise of up to +8°C
or even +11ºC. This would make life intolerable or unsurvivable.
50% less rainfall in the tropics. Severe water shortages within 25 years –
potentially affecting 5 billion people. Widespread crop failures.
50% more river volume by 2100 in northern countries.
Desertification and burning down of vast areas of
agricultural land and forests.
Continuing spread of malaria and other diseases, including
from a much increased insect population in UK. Respiratory
illnesses due to poor air quality with higher temperatures.
Extinction of large numbers of animal and plant species.
Sea level rise: due to both warmer water (greater volume) and
melting ice. The IPCC predicts between 28cm and 43cm by 2100, with consequent high storm wave heights, threatening to
displace up to 200 million people. At worst, if emissions this century were
to set
in place future melting of both the Greenland and West Antarctic ice caps, sea
level would eventually rise approx 12m.
Risk of wars fought for water and habitable territory.
The UK could have a climate like Iceland if
the Gulf Stream ceases to flow, due to melting freshwater from ice sheets
and glaciers diluting the salt water on which the ocean circulation depends.

Three Essays on the European Central Bank Governance
Disertační teze:
The main objective of the work would be to offer deeper insight into the impacts the central bank communication could have. I have chosen three areas that the amount of literature on is not developed. I will use unique dataset including information about the European Central Bank communication during my research.
In the first part, I would like to study the impact of the central bank communication on the citizens' trust in the European Central bank. Many studies suggest that the more information the citizens have the more their trust the central bank. I would try to confirm that also information obtained from central bank communication is significant determinant of the trust.
Secondly, I would like to study the relationship between the central bank communication and Taylor rule. The main goal of the second part will be to confirm or deny the fact that the communication of ECB can be used as a significant explanatory variable in Taylor rule. Above that, I would like to compare the coefficient of extended Taylor rule and its original version.
Finally, the main objective of the last part will be to study the impact of the European Central Bank communication on the European financial markets. The main aspect I would like to study is the contagion in financial markets – which markets react at first and how the contagion spreads to other markets.

Spend, spend, spend
I spent the morning wondering what I would have done with a £165 million Euro lottery win. Not easy. After totting up the cost of a new house, new car (this one) and money for family, trusts for the kids etc., I reckon I'd still have a good £100+ million left at least. Now, you need to put some of that to work so you can have a guaranteed income enough not to be worried but then there's still plenty to play with. Probably enough to found a decent new Cambridge college and certainly enough to do a lot for a current one. So, what else would be on the list, specifically concerning my day job and my concern for the health of my own area of research?
There would be plenty to make regular and substantial donations to various charities. But there are some specific things that would be worth doing too.
Endow a research fellowship, probably alternating between classics and philosophy for new postdoctoral researchers. Perhaps also endow a university lectureship (we've enough professors) provided that didn't mean the university could think it didn't need to keep funding the ones we have already. Probably best to negotiate a B.O.G.O.F. deal here. They promise to keep funding one, and we'll fund another.
A big chunk of hardship funding for undergraduates.
What else should go on this list?

The Cambridge Faculty of Classics will be hosting the Triennial Conference, 'A celebration of classics', on 25-29 July. You can find out all about it here and even read a programme of events (pdf here). There's quite a lot of ancient philosophical stuff going on, if that's your thing. And Cambridge will be looking nice, despite the enormous numbers of tourists and annual scaffolding boom. Here's the poster:

Football and philosophy
Here is an interesting piece on aesthetics and football written by Stephen Mumford in the Times Higher. (He has a book coming soon; perhaps I should wait until I've read the full account, though given its £75 price-tag I might not manage to.) He is right to claim that there is something aesthetically pleasing and engaging about sport. On the other hand, it seems to me that his advocacy of non-partisan viewing is problematic, at least for football. True, I can and do enjoy watching games between two sides with which I have no particular connection. The World Cup is great just because I can indulge myself in watching such matches. On the other hand, it is extremely difficult not to adopt one of the two sides, often for no particular reason, and take on a supporter's role. It is difficult to remain disengaged sufficiently to have no partisan feelings whatsoever. Of course, it is possible simply to enjoy watching the skill on display but this is a contest after all and not a performance or improvised display. The teams display the skills they have in order to win the game.
It is also surely the case that partisanship opens up a deeper and broader range of experiences in watching than disengaged aesthetic appreciation. Watching sport is often a shared experience, shared often by groups who arrange themselves and display themselves as comrades. Let's distinguish watching a football match on the sofa and home from sitting or standing among a group of supporters of a given team at the ground itself. The reason it is worth going to the ground is the intensity of the shared experience. It does matter, at least for those 90 minutes, whether the goalkeeper makes a save and whether a pass finds its intended recipient. We choose to make it matter and because we surrender in that way we are able to experience the joy at a goal or the despair at losing.
So when Mumford writes...
The purist and the partisan can see different games because one regards it aesthetically while the other sees the contest primarily as something to be won. The partisan would far prefer to see their team win a dull game 1-0 than to lose 3-4. And keenly contested tackles that are appreciated by the purist will for the partisan be either a show of superior strength when they win them or outrageous fouls committed by brutes when they lose them.
...I think I would contest the sense of the term 'purist' here. It is a different perspective, for sure, to watch from a non-partisan viewpoint. But it is not a purer appreciation of a game of football. A game my team wins (perhaps because it is not a common occurrence) is not really a dull game. A 1-0 win can be nervy (if the team scores early I then spend the time desperately willing the ball away from my team's penalty area; I applaud an almighty clearance over the stand if it relieves the pressure) or amazingly uplifting (a late goal, no matter how scrappy). That seems a pure appreciation of football to me.

Aristotle sets hears a-flutter
Browsing some Aristotle today I came across this in De Partibus Animalium 3.6. He is discussing the lungs and making a case that they are for the sake of respiration. As part of the discussion he dismisses the idea that lungs are there to cope with the 'jumping' of the heart. His argument for this is interesting because it seems to offer some evidence for his distinction between human and animal psychological capacities (669a17-23):
τὸ δὲ πρὸς τὴν ἅλσιν εἶναι τὸν πλεύμονα τῆς καρδίας οὐκ εἴρηται καλῶς· ἐν ἀνθρώπῳ τε γὰρ συμβαίνει μόνον ὡς εἰπεῖν τὸ τῆς πηδήσεως διὰ τὸ μόνον ἐν ἐλπίδι γίνεσθαι καὶ προσδοκίᾳ τοῦ μέλλοντος, ἀπέχει τ'ἐν τοῖς πλείστοις πολὺν τόπον καὶ κεῖται τὴν θέσιν ἀνωτέρω τοῦ πλεύμονος, ὥστε μηδὲν συμβάλλεσθαι τὸν πλεύμονα πρὸς τὴν ἅλσιν τῆς καρδίας.
Here is a translation by William Ogle (1912):
It has been said that the lung exists as a provision to meet the jumping (halsis) of the heart. But this is out of the question. For man is practically the only animal whose heart presents this phenomenon of jumping, inasmuch as he alone is influenced by hope and anticipation of the future. Moreover, in most animals the lung is separated from the heart by a considerable interval and lies above it, so that it can contribute nothing to mitigate any jumping.
See Hippoc. Morb. Sacr. 17 (§XX in the Loeb) for the idea that the phrenes jump and cause palpitations as a result of unexpected excessive pleasure or distress (εἴ τι ὥνθρωπος ὑπερχαρείη ἐξ ἀδοκήτου ἢ ἀνιηθείη, πηδῶσι [αἱ φρένες] καὶ ἅλσιν παρέχουσιν).
This is the bit that interests me: only humans have hope (elpis) or expectation for the future (prosdokia); this is why only humans experience their heart 'jumping'. This suggests that hope and expectation here are being understood to have some rational component or source. What exactly distinguishes them from the kinds of forethought that non-rational animals are capable of?

Free Window Cleaning–Harmony House — 2/9/15
At A New View we are passionate about the community that has supported us through the years. This passion leads us to give back to the community when we can. In the past we have supported various non-profits including the Fort Collins Rescue Mission and Realities for Children. On Monday, February 9th we donated a free window cleaning to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Larimer County for the historic Harmony House which serves as a supervised meeting place for children and their non-custodial family members. The house, which was originally owned by the Ziegler family, was constructed in the 1890s. It remained in the Ziegler family until it was donated to CASA of Larimer County in 1991. This non-profit organization also helps children get placed into foster homes during periods of domestic conflict.
It was our pleasure to be able to partner with this organization by providing them a free window cleaning!
If you would like to learn more about CASA of Larimer County, you can reach their website here: http://casalarimer.com/

Release Date: June 1st 2011
Publisher: Penguin Australia
Add it: Goodreads
It's 1986 and Halley's Comet is hurtling towards Earth. Everyone is talking about what the comet will bring - wishes could be granted, people might go mad, great disasters could happen...
When Andrew is asked to write down his greatest wish for the Comet Box, he can think of only one thing – that his runaway sister Amelia will finally come home. As the comet draws nearer he begins to learn the reasons why she left in the first place and the more he learns, the more he wants to forget.
When Amelia is captured and brought home she reveals a shocking secret that makes Andrew's once safe world begin to unravel. As the comet arrives, Andrew must choose whether to be blind to the mistakes of the people around him or to side with his sister as she tears his family apart.
I had a hard time writing my review for this book because I could barely find the words to adequately give it justice. I was not expecting such a quietly powerful read. Once I got into the story, I could not put it down. The Comet Box transported me back to my childhood. While this is set in the late 80's and I grew up in the 90's, the atmosphere was still the same in essence. I felt like I was inside this novel and the scorching hot summer days, the neighbourhood BBQ's while parents gossiped about that bad seed who lives across the street. Adrian Stirling's ability to capture the everyday Australian life was fantastic.
Andrew thought he knew everything about everyone in the suburb of Merton. But as we're introduced to these characters and the veil is slowly dropped, Andrew learns he hardly knows anything at all. And sometimes, the truth isn't so glamorous. Six months ago, his sister, Amelia, ran away from home leaving only a name behind on her bedroom wall: Samantha Collins. And that's all Andrew knows of why his sister suddenly left their lives. Now, with Haley's Comet on it's way and a box of secrets inspiring the need for truth, everything Andrew thought he knew about the people around him is about to change forever.
This isn't action packed book, yet it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time as we learn more about each of these characters and uncover, piece by piece, their own hidden story. When Amelia returned, I formed my own theories of why she left. Why she didn't want to come back. Why she made those constant phone calls during her disappearance. Why she was so angry. But I didn't guess right until just before it was revealed and the aftershocks of this revelation were shockingly intense and so very REAL. I can't stress enough how 'real' this book felt, in that Stirling really dug deep and explored the human nature, the depths of these characters. There's a particular scene toward the end that made me shudder. It is so powerful and represents how out of control and twisted ones need for vengeance and justice can get.
The Comet Box showed brilliantly the effect in which holding on to someones mistakes in life and allowing that to fester inside you, unable to forgive them, unable to move forward with your own life, can have on the individual and the people around them. Holding onto those feelings and the blame and the betrayal, making you want to hurt those around you in your own form of justice, it was eye opening to read. And tragic, the way that darkness clouds the mind, the heart and hinders that person from ever really moving on in their life.
This book really made me pause and literally look outside my window at my neighbourhood. Despite how close you might be to those you live next door to or anyone, really, in your life - you never really know what happens in their private life when all the visitors have gone home. There is a secret behind every single door in your neighbourhood. Every single house in your city. And while you may think you want to know everything about those around you, sometimes you're better off not knowing. When people ask whether you'd always want to know the truth or prefer to be kept in the dark - many would say they want the cold, hard facts, no matter the price. I know I would have. But then I read this book and it made me question that need, that continual quest for answers that we seek. Sometimes blissful ignorance really is better than the consequences of the truth.
I can't sing enough praise about Stirling's fantastic ability to both capture the Australian suburban lifestyle and the very heart of his readers as he takes you on an incredibly moving experience that will stay with you long after you finish reading. The Comet Box is a thoroughly engaging novel, sprinkled with a nice touch of humour and such a compelling cast of characters who are so well-defined and feel so recognisable - you could literally walk outside and meet that kind of person on the street - all set in a wonderfully Australian environment. I highly recommend you give this a read!

Brideshead Revisited
Legislation proposed in Alabama would prohibit the use of public funds for the "purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle." The bill also proposed that novels with gay protagonists and college textbooks that suggest homosexuality is natural would have to be removed from library shelves and destroyed. The bill would impact all Alabama school, public and university libraries. While it would ban books like Heather Has Two Mommies, it could also include classic and popular novels with gay characters such as Brideshead Revisited, The Color Purple or The Picture of Dorian Gray.

I was lucky enough to get sent this beautiful looking Mademoiselle Gabrielle face mask a few weeks back from the lovely people at Purenesse.
Pureness is an online store that offer high quality, natural and organic products from quite a few French skincare brands, and we all know the French have it down to a tee when it comes to skincare, so this isn't a bad little site if you fancy giving some new brands a go.
I had never heard of the brand Mademoiselle Gabrielle, so I did some research and read reviews before hand. I think its important to do this as you want to make sure its safe it is going on your skin. Here is a little bit about the brand..
"Mademoiselle Gabrielle is a natural, certified organic cosmetic brand created by Sylvie Moreau.
Keeping faith to the philosophy of the brand -'Luxury is in nature'- Sylvie has created a range of high level, innovative products to guide and assist women in their daily beauty routine.
Combining smooth textures with delicate fragrances, Mademoiselle Gabrielle's anti-ageing skin care line has the mission of fighting ageing and repairing and restoring the skin, while respecting the environment."
The brand sounds just lovely doesn't it? I'm all for natural and organic so those key words stuck out for me, especially as I suffer with sensitive skin.
After looking at the rest of their skincare line I instantly fell in love with their packaging, they are all beautifully presented with their chic pots and bottles with some being topped off with classy looking bows (classy bows I hear you ask..I may not be good at explaining but they do look classy, look for yourself you'll see what I mean!) these will just be begging for a space on your beauty cabinet.
As soon as I twisted open the little tin lid off the pretty glass jar, this is what awaited me inside...
|Ahhhhhhh!!! B E A..utiful
Once you get past its beauty and apply the product it goes on like no other face mask I've tried as its like putting honey on your face, that smooth but sticky texture.
I apply a small amount on freshly cleansed skin with clean fingers, leave it on for 5 minutes avoiding the eye area, then wash it off with warm water, when its sitting on your skin for that time it starts to feel slightly warm I think it feels pretty nice actually.
This mask is great for those times where you need a instant skin perk up but don't have the time to wait around, because when you wash this off after just 5 minutes your skin is looking glowy and radiant.
The fact this product is an exfoliating mask and doesn't contain any beads or any other harsh grains is great for my skin as most can make it feeling tight and sore after.
This product just uses fruit extracts to gently buff away dead skin which is amazing! I have tried quite a few exfoliating masks and this is the only one I have tried that seems to make my skin feel hydrated and soft ,they usually leave my face pretty dry.
These kind of masks are great for brightening skin and that's what its best at , but it does also help spots and prevent further breakouts which is why my sorry skin is loving this right now.
The Mademoiselle Gabrielle exfoliating mask contains such wonderful skin-loving ingredients too such as..
Sunflower oil: Nourishing the skin
Last but by no means least, I have to mention the scent of this...oh my... it has the delicate scent of caramel/toffee and makes me feel like licking it off (but I wont because that's flipping gross).
You just need to give it a go to see what I mean ;).
The price is very reasonable at £19.75 for 50ml of product.
Available from Purenesse.com and find them over on Twitter
Also check out Mademoiselle Gabrielle's Website and Twitter.
I have also noticed that Purenesse are running an offer till the end of July across their website using the code JULY at checkout, so get in there quick. I have my eye on the Mademoiselle Gabrielle Sublime Oil Serum next, I had a teeny sample of this along with the mask and its just beautiful.
What are your thoughts on this mask? Have you tried anything from Mademoiselle Gabrielle?
Thanks For Reading,

A Visual Guide to AWS
Intro Bands Blocks Licenses Plans Comments 55
Each "band" of spectrum is sub-divided into smaller "blocks". For AWS, the blocks are divided as shown below:
One important thing to note is that some blocks are larger than others. When it comes to AWS, the A, B and F blocks are each 20 MHz wide, while the other blocks are only 10 MHz. That means the A, B and F blocks have twice the capacity, meaning they can potentially handle twice the number of simultaneous phone calls, or twice the data throughput.
AD article continues below...
Since this is paired spectrum, the A, B and F blocks technically consist of 10 MHz for tower-to-phone, and 10 MHz for phone-to-tower. The C, D and E blocks only consist of 5 MHz in each direction.
None of the AWS licenses are national, though. Rather, the AWS band is not only divided by block, but also geographically. Each license that was sold at auction was for only one block, in one area of the country. Over 1,100 individual licenses were for sale in the AWS auction.
To make things even more complicated, the geographic divisions are not the same for each block. Some blocks are divided up into just a few very large areas, while others are divided up into hundreds of small areas.
The map above shows how the A block was divided geographically. The divisions are based on CMAs (Cellular Market Areas,) of which there are 734.
(If you've heard of MSAs and RSAs, those are the same as CMAs. MSAs are simply metro areas, while RSAs are rural areas.)
When the FCC sold licenses for Cellular service way back when, it was also based on CMA divisions. That's probably one reason why the FCC chose to offer one block of AWS spectrum divided by CMA: so that smaller companies with existing Cellular licenses could buy new spectrum that matched their existing coverage area.
The FCC also has a duty to use its regulatory power to protect small businesses. Offering AWS licenses that cover relatively small areas is a way to let small local companies get started and expand in wireless.
The B and C blocks are divided geographically into EAs (Economic Areas):
EAs are the medium-size geographic divisions within AWS, being larger than CMAs but much smaller than the next category. There are 176 EAs. (EAs are sometimes also called BEAs in FCC lingo.)
When the Cellular and PCS bands were auctioned off, most cell phone companies were still local or regional. In those days, small divisions of radio licenses made complete sense. But these days, most cell phone service is offered by national carriers, so licenses covering tiny areas complicate things unnecessarily, and, well... just seems silly.
To reflect this new reality of the wireless industry, the FCC decided to auction off half of the AWS blocks based on a new, super-size system of REAGs (Regional Economic Area Groupings.)
REAG is how the D, E and F blocks are divided. There are 12 REAGs total, but only six main REAGs for the whole continental US. Other REAGs cover Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, etc.
(REAGs are sometimes also called REAs in FCC lingo.)
As the end of the year approaches so too does the season of giving. Holiday gifting lists are often filled with technology, but it isn't always easy to find that perfect item.

The Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) and Microsoft Corporation announced at the HNBA Corporate Counsel Conference in Atlanta, Georgia a new, bold partnership designed to increase the number of Latino lawyers in U.S. intellectual property (IP) law. The highlight of the announcement was Microsoft's pledge of $200,000 over three years to help fund the new initiative called the "HNBA/Microsoft IP Law Institute."
The "HNBA/Microsoft IP Law Institute" is part of the HNBA's Su Futuro Program and will provide opportunities for Latino students interested in intellectual property law, including patents, copyrights, trade secrets and trademarks. The IP Law Institute will select up to 25 law students from law schools throughout the country to participate in a week-long IP law immersion program. The costs of travel, lodging, meals and materials will be covered by the IP Law Institute.
The IP Law Institute will provide substantive instruction, hands-on practical experience, writing workshops, visits to U.S. government institutions related to IP law (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. International Trade Commission, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit), briefings from leading IP practitioners and congressional and executive branch authorities, and networking opportunities, that will give participants a broad understanding of IP law practice, as well as provide contacts and avenues for potential employment. The IP Law Institute will be anchored by a briefing on issues in an active patent litigation case followed by attending live oral arguments on the same case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC"). Attendees will also receive a rare behind the scenes tour of the court and meet CAFC Judges and law clerks. The Honorable Jimmie V. Reyna from the CAFC will host the group at the court and will speak to the students about IP law and the court's role in its development.
A 2008 study by NALP shows that Hispanic attorneys spend a mere 4 percent of their practice on intellectual property matters. And a more recent survey by AIPLA shows that in firms with over 100 attorneys, only 2 percent of IP lawyers are Hispanic. The HNBA and Microsoft are committed to changing these statistics.
"The "HNBA/Microsoft IP Institute" will focus on IP law to address the under-representation of Hispanic attorneys in the field of IP law," said HNBA National President Peter M. Reyes, Jr., who also is an experienced IP practitioner and registered patent attorney. "Microsoft has taken a great step towards improving the quality of legal services necessary to keep America economically strong," added Reyes.
"We at Microsoft know firsthand the sad reality of the under-representation of Latino attorneys in the critical field of IP law," stated Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel at Microsoft. "As an industry leader, we are choosing to step up and be a catalyst for change in the legal profession," said Gutierrez.
The inaugural program is scheduled between July 7 and 12 of 2013 in Washington DC. Additional information is available at www.hnba.com/hnba-microsoft-ip-law-institute.

Zenonia 3: The Midgard Story by Gamevil Inc.
(5/5) Zenonia 3 for the iPhone and iPod touch is a very, very fun action RPG. It combines all of the good parts from the first two Zenonia games, and makes them even better. You play as the son of the first games main character, and know about the second game's characters, which adds to the fun if you've played the first two games. The controls are smooth and easy to use, the 16-bit graphics are great, and the menus are beautiful. The four classes to choose from are similar to Zenonia 2. There is a melee sword knight (warrior), a melee shadow hunter (assassin), a long range mechanic launcher (electric shooter megaman-thingy), and a long range nature shaman (mage). The game has over 40 hours of gameplay, tons of different outfits to wear, and even a PvP and Co-Op feature! The game is definitely worth every penny, and a bang for your (five) buck(s). http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zenonia-3/id414830024?mt=8

Hundreds of patients at Bassetlaw Hospital have had appointments and operations cancelled due to the junior doctors strike today.
Dozens of junior doctors at the Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Foundation trust are taking part in a 24-hour walk-out as part of a long-running dispute over new contracts.
The British Medical Association (BMA) is concerned about pay for weekend working, career progression and safeguards to protect doctors from being over-worked.
This follows a similar protest where the doctors joined picket lines outside the hospital in January.
Bassetlaw hospital says it has contacted all patients who are affected by the strike.

Barack Obama has moved the planned G8 meeting of the world's top nations from Chicago to the president's fortified Camp David compound.
The meeting of the world's richest nations was originally scheduled for Obama's home town of Chicago on 18-19 May. The G8 summit has often been a target for activists and was this year expected to attract massive protests from the Occupy movement and others.
In a statement, the White House said it had moved the venue "to facilitate a free-flowing discussion with our close G8 partners".
Obama had originally planned to follow the G8 meeting in Chicago with a meeting with Nato leaders that is expected to discuss the withdrawal of international troops from Afghanistan. The Nato meeting will still go ahead in Chicago.
Chicago police had estimated that the overlapping G8 and Nato summits could attract up to 10,000 protesters. Two major demonstrations were already planned for downtown Chicago during the summit. The city was the site for some of the biggest protests and riots of the 1960s.
Camp David, formally known as the Naval Support Facility Thurmont, is situated about 100km (60 miles) north of Washington in Maryland. The high-security venue will shield G8 delegates from any possible protesters.
The mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, Obama's former White House chief of staff, had lobbied hard for the city to host both events. His office put out a statement wishing Obama and the other world leaders well at the G8 meeting at Camp David.
"Hosting the Nato Summit is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Chicago to the world and the world to Chicago, and we are proud to host the 50 heads of state, foreign and defense ministers from the Nato and ISAF countries in our great city [on] May 19-21," the mayor's office said.
Camp David was opened by wartime president Franklin Roosevelt, and was the venue for talks that led to the landmark Camp David peace accords between Egypt and Israel in 1978, which were brokered by president Jimmy Carter.

Technically its Fall for some of us but here in NYC, the weather is still confused and we're still experiencing Summer heat but instead of complaining I of course took full advantage of it!! I mean you just never know next week I might be shoveling snow!
This jumpsuit is EVERYTHING for starters it meets my ankles. That seems like something so simple but when you're five foot ten that usually means the demise of most bottoms because high waters don't work for me! It also fits so well, with plenty of breathing room for a lady working with curves, best of all its black!!!!!!
Growing up Barbie was great and all but my obsession with Morticia Addams was unreal! I loved how she was always so poised and perfectly quaffed. From her sleek jet black hair, matching red nails and lip... Why is this woman not down in history for her amazing style. She made the color black a 'thing'. I knew even then as a young girl that I wanted to be able to take a simple color and make it fabulous! And lets not forget she was a mother of three, who had time to tend to her garden and tame her husband. See ladies you can have it all while looking deviously devine.

Yes, indeed, I remain Marc Hershon, your humble host and all-beef luncheon meat for Epi145, the post-Christmas, mid-Hanukah, pre-New Year's installment of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. I hope your holidays are being grand and we appreciate you taking us along during through this winter wonderland.
Unless you're in Australia, like our friends Dean Haglund from the Chillpak Hollywood Hour or Jabs from the DHead Factor, because its summer down under.
Is there anything more festive than passing the Succotash for the holidays? I think not.
This is an installment of Succotash Clips, where we feature snippets from comedy soundcasts from around the internet. The lion's share of this epi's clippage comes from our Associate Producer Tyson Saner. I snagged a couple of 'em, but no one sent any clips in this time. You're always welcome to, BTW, and it's so easy – just click on over to http://hightail.com/u/Succotash and you can directly upload your 3-5 minute MP3 or WAV soundcast clips to us.
Coming up this show we'll be featuring samples from the aforementioned Chillpak Hollywood Hour, Just In Time, Obsessed with Joseph Scrimshaw, Office Hours Live with Tim Heidecker, Pepper In The Salt Shaker, Talk It Out, and Tokyo Hotel. In addition we have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst segment with our resident political comedian and social commentator Will Durst. And this episode, as are they all have been since we started, is Henderson's Pants, which is bringing back their Auld Lang Slacks just in time for the New Year.
A couple of places that I'll be appearing live coming up in the New Year are both connected to the 16th Annual San Francisco Sketchfest, which takes place every January in the city. Over 400 shows and hundreds of venues across town – it's a great time to be alive and a fan of comedy.
Sunday, January 15th, I'll be moderating a discussion just before the 40th Anniversary screening of Kentucky Fried Movie. That'll be live, onstage, at the Castro Theatre with director John Landis, and the producers – the Zucker Brothers and Jim Abraham.
A week later, on Sunday, January 22nd, we'll be doing a live episode of Succotash, on stage at Piano Fight in the Tenderloin. Our booth announcer Bill Heywatt will be there, as well as some comedy soundcasts and comedians as well, for 90 minutes of fun-filled…fun.
You can find out all the information including ticket prices and locations by visiting http://SFSketchfest.com.
Because of the holidays, I have no soundcast reviews on either Splitsider.com or Huffington Post this week. Instead, Splitsider asked me to write up a little piece on my "Best Medicine" to chase away the holiday blues – and that's the movie Time Bandits! Terry Gilliam, the director, just had the whole thing remastered so it looks great and you can catch it streaming online now.
I appear on a trio of soundcasts that dropped this week, so I thought I would provide you with links here. I am the Narrator for the Casa Mirth Christmas Spectacular, featuring a pile of soundcasters from all over the world. I talk about It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World on the Movies Made Me soundcast with Cheryl Jones. And I talk about trademarks and branding with John Klymshyn on his Your StartUp Advisors soundcast as well. Check 'em out!

Yes, 'tis I. Marc Hershon — your humble host and seasonal perennial for Epi144 of Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast. This is an installment of Succotash Chats, where we pin down some unlucky wretch from the world of soundcasting and interview the bejeezus out of them.
Our Special Guest this episode is Ben Tippett, host of the Titanium Physicists Podcast. I'm only calling it a podcast instead of a soundcast because that's in the official title of the show. Plus Dr. Tippett insists on the term "podcast". He's not a fan of the soundcast moniker.
Ben's show is NOT a comedy soundcast in the classic meaning of the term. He is neither a comedian nor is the content overtly intended to be humorous. But, as you will see, he IS funny and the show itself leans heavily that way as well.
In addition to our Special Guest Ben Tippet, we have a double dose of our Burst O' Durst with political comedian and social commentator Will Durst and a dip into the Tweetsack. Plus we have what may be the last song by our old pal Abner Serd for a while — I tell you why towards the end of the show. And, of course, this installment of Succotash Chats is brought to you by our friends at Henderson's Pants, exclusive makers of Santa Pants.
If you are going to be in the San Francisco area during January, chances are you will be in shouting distance of the 16th Annual S.F. Sketchfest. And I will be appearing not once but twice during this hallowed affair. On Sunday, January 15th, I will be moderating a panel before the 40th anniversary screening of Kentucky Fried Movie. I was just graduating high school when KFM came out and it was amazing. Bizarre, hilarious, and just great fun with a crazy cast, directed by John Landis, written and produced by the Zucker Brothers and Jim Abraham — the same guys who later brought us the Airplane! movies, the Police Squad TV series, which led directly to the Naked Gun movies. That will be at the Castro Theater in San Francisco.
And then a week later, on Sunday, January 22nd, I'll be bringing Succotash to Sketchfest at 4 PM at Piano Fight in the Tenderloin. We'll have a live 90-minute show and a great lineup of podcasters and comics. So for both or either of those shows, visit http://SFSketchfest.com to get tickets and further details.
If you're going to be doing any shopping for the holidays by way of Amazon, please do use the Amazon banner at the top of the http://SuccotashShow.com homesite – when you access their site through our site, we get a tasty little morsel of a kickback, and that money helps to cover the production costs of this show. If you're not in a buying mood, visit out homesite anyway and just click the Donate button. Every penny you donate goes to offset the production costs and upkeep for this soundcast.
And that, my friend, is that. Succotash Chats Epi144 is just another piece of soundcast history now. Hopefully we'll have another installment dropping before Christmas but, just in case we don't, have a very merry one and don't forget to pass the Succotash!

Datacoup is offering to pay you up to $10 a month for access to a combination of your social media accounts and the transaction history from your credit or debit card. It will then sell on the insights gathered from the data to companies looking for consumer behaviour information.
The market for personal data is set to reach €1 trillion by 2020, according to the latest figures compiled by Boston Consulting Group. These days there are a lot of companies out there looking for ever-greater amounts of data, which can be analysed using specialist tools in order to spot customer behaviour trends. A major player here is Paris-based 'personalised retargeting company' Criteo, one of the world's leading companies in targeted advertising, which draws on data found on websites, especially on social networks. At the same time however there is a growing trend for Internet users to want to take back control of their own personal data. Some platforms – Yes Profile and Reputation.com for example – already offer to put people in direct touch with advertisers in order to sell their personal data, an approach termed 'one-to-one marketing'. Now New York-based startup Datacoup is trying to get people interested in profiting directly from their own data, offering to purchase information drawn from social network accounts, and adding the new feature of collecting data from transaction flows on a credit or debit card. It plans to charge commercial companies for the information and insights.
Remunerating data owners
Although all commercial companies clearly have an interest in collecting data that will help them to study the behaviour of their customers, Datacoup is touting as a unique selling point the fact that it combines online activity tracking with a record of people's spending history, which will surely be extremely useful for advertisers. The NYC startup will pay you a maximum of $10 per month: $2 for information on your social network activity and up to $8 for details of your credit card transactions. The value of this combination of data is proved by the fact that Twitter and Facebook are already working with data broker Datalogix to link people's social media data with information relating to their purchasing activities. Datacoup is looking to sell insights on the trends revealed by this data to companies. It is also thinking of bidding for data from people's lifestyle devices such as FitBit. In addition, Datacoup co-founder and CEO Matt Hogan also lays claim to ethical motives, stressing that he wants to give people a means of tapping the market for information about their activities and deciding for themselves where to sell.
Towards greater transparency on data use?
In addition, the start-up offers people a platform where they can analyse their own personal data by category: place, profession, health, purchases, and so on, and can thus map their associations and focuses of interest. People can already earn up to $100 a month by selling their data – San Diego company Luth Research mainly collects data on web browsing – but, points out Donald Waldman, an Economics Professor at the University of Colorado, it is interesting to see just how high – or low – a value people place on data privacy. While all this data provides companies with opportunities to target their marketing more accurately, most users are blissfully unaware of just how their data is being used. So your favourite online retailer might use your data as a basis for deciding to hide discounts from you and instead dangle more expensive products in front of your eyes – one more good reason why consumers might start calling for companies to be more open about how they are using your data, underlines Professor Waldman.

She is fond of reading authors like Fannie Flagg, Rebecca Wells and Kathryn Stockett, stories of dysfunctional families with a touch of humor. She is also fond of the non-fiction of Rick Bragg and Jeanette Walls.
Phyllis is a self-published author, retired social worker, avid gardener and loves to travel. She lives on a small ranch in South Texas with her husband and their adopted terrier, Ollie Bubba. She has operated a haunted bed and breakfast and has stories to tell.
1. What inspired you to write The Bright Shawl?
I lived in San Antonio and a couple of smaller towns around San Antonio many years ago. I love the culture and atmosphere there. I spent most of my childhood near Corpus Christi and in the Rio Grande Valley and most of my recent years have been in Galveston. The setting is what inspired me initially. I worked as a social worker when I lived near San Antonio and I met so many young girls who ran away from home and got themselves involved with people who took advantage of them. I didn't want to romanticize the runaway, but I fantasized about what would happen if a strong female character was being led by her own goals and dreams. I believe in Karma and positive attraction, and I wanted Bella's positive attitude to draw support to her. I also wanted her to be able to be inspired by the spirit of her mother. I believe that our guardian spirits are always trying to get our attention and we don't always recognize it. That's why I called them tender whispers. They are subtle hints to follow our dreams. The bright shawl is a symbol of Bella's mother and all the possibilities are woven into the colors. It is her spirit wrapping around Bella as a reminder of what she can be and do, a cocoon, a shelter, and a vision.
2. How did you manage to weave the individual story lines of the characters into one?
Sometimes the characters tell me what to do. I know their strengths and weaknesses and I place them in a situation. I'm often surprised by what they choose to do. For example, initially, I thought Manny, Bella's younger brother would flounder and get involved with drugs, or a gang following her departure. However, he surprised me, as young men often do. His tough, don't care attitude was all show, and his desire for his family overrode his need to conform to his father's lifestyle. I wanted him to survive and there were times when I didn't think he would. I was also surprised by his love of animals and his desire to have a dog.
I didn't know Lenny was going to show up and when he did I had to give him a reason to be at the shop. It was only natural that he would be able to make beautiful sea shell jewelry. I know so many people like him. They come to the surface when I'm writing and ask to be in the story. Slade and Gina were inspired by siblings I knew when I was a social worker. Their parents were extremely religious and adopted a bi-racial child, then when the child became a teenager, the first time there was a marijuana incident, they disowned the child. That's where I got their attitudes and Slade and Gina's disgust with their decisions. It's almost two or three stories that I take bits and pieces of, but I often think I could go back to the parents of Gina and Slade and write a novel about that situation.
My other novels are similar, I've noticed. I often have two characters with different stories going on in alternate chapters, and in the end they have a common bond and come to a resolution.
- What is the significance behind the "colors, scents, and textures" of the shawl?
I suppose I am constantly aware of all my senses. I do needle work and always loved embroidery, crochet and weaving. The texture of fabrics excites me. I can't keep my hands off. I'm a child of the '60's. The original hippies are the current Boho look. I love it, especially the clothing and jewelry. I must have been a gypsy in another life. I always have about three dresses from the El Mercado in San Antonio in my closet. It's like comfort food for me. They remind me of my childhood. I knew that is what Bella and Rosa would remember from their childhood, the simple pleasures in their backyard, the colors of the flowers, the smells of the food and garden, the feel and warmth of the worn shawl. That shawl would have been something their mother would use daily, especially in the evening when everything settled down and they relaxed. It was the constant that reassured the children that everything was okay. When it was hidden in a drawer, it was as if that comfort was not available. Their mother wasn't even allowed to choose the décor for the house to make it comfortable.
- What roles did Bella and Slade play for each other?
Bella was Slade's reminder that he had set his dreams aside. She was the catalyst for him to realize he was stuck in grief. Bella was the breath of fresh air and adventure that pushed him off dead center and enabled him to dream again. Slade was Bella's model for maturity and business sense. He was her example of the possibilities that were open if you follow your passion. However, neither of them would have known each other if it wasn't for Gina, the distracted psychic. She knew two people who she loved, saw their dilemmas and matched them perfectly.
- Could you please explain "the whispers" of Mirabella and Petra?
For me, in this story, the words whispers and sprit are interchangeable. The spirits of Mirabella and Petra are the guardian angels of the girls. Their essence is constantly around them and for Mirabella it was the same for Manny. Her spiritual energy whispered around them. There may have been no words, but there were memories, scents, visions, values, and symbols reminding the children of their true family. It never leaves a person, but not everyone pays attention to the spiritual influence around them. When they do, anything is possible.
- Could you please describe young Manny's journey in this story?
I ended up loving Manny and wanting to take care of him, but he did just fine for himself. He became resourceful, independent and strong in character. His mother's influence won out and he made all the right choices. He could have made all the wrong choices, but he allowed his tender heart to prevail. He grew to recognize the weaknesses of his father. I want to say that I also have a soft spot for the father, Manuel. I'm certain that Manny also saw Manuel's frailties and that is probably why he thought he could help him by staying close to him. Everyone has a past. We all make choices as to how we react. The reaction is what determines character. Manny evolved to be a person with character and I believe his sisters and his mother were the main influences. He could feel the difference in the home and see the neglect of space and character his father allowed.
7. What are some of the main socio-economic issues that you explore in this book and why did you explore them?
Bella, Rosa, and Mirabella came to recognize their simple lives in the Valley were preferable to the fancy house they occupied in San Antonio. Their closeness to Petra and her husband, the small, friendly atmosphere of their house and the simple things they enjoyed gave them comfort they could not find in the mansion with Manuel. In that large, fancy house there was deceit, secrets and maybe even murder. Character and strength have nothing to do with money and everything to do with decisions and values.
Manuel had an extremely neglectful childhood. He took responsibility at a young age for his brother on the streets on Monterrey. He was street wise and for him, the symbol of family was the house and material things, but he always looked at those things from the streets. He had a hole where the heart of the family should have been. He couldn't fill the hole up no matter how he tried. I know so many unhappy people who live this way, judging things by how much they cost and not the spirit and comfort afforded. It's no wonder Manuel grew to adulthood without developing some values and character, however he also toughened himself so he wouldn't be hurt and that alienated him from the people who could have helped him. Things were more important than people. In a culture that stresses family, Manuel was not the norm, and he probably felt that difference also. I just think that's an interesting thing about our society, and still we judge success by a person's house, car and clothing. We continue to miss the point.
I wanted the natural beauty of Bella and Lenny's jewelry and Slade's clothing to be the material thing that could show there could be a luxury of richness and an abundance in natural substance, seashells, color, texture, and scent. Those things are not used up. They exist always. Those things speak to the natural abundance we all have access to. However, in quest to get the bright and shiny, we sometimes overlook the things around us that are even more appealing.
The family that Bella finally accumulated was multi-racial, of different sexual identities and various economic backgrounds, and this includes Lenny. I dream of the day this diversity will define who we are as people, not the "them versus us" mentality we struggle with sometimes today. No walls, you know what I mean?
8. What do you hope readers will gain from your book?
I hope readers can identify the simple pleasures of their childhoods and seek ways to reincorporate those things into their lives. It was would be wonderful if they could recognize big houses don't make comfort and joy. It's the simple things, and keeping true to values that make people happy. Embracing diversity of all people and recognizing their strengths is one of my goals, no matter their physical/mental abilities, background, race, religion or status.
9. What do you like best and what do you like least about being a writer?
I love the chance to be creative and jump out of bed in my pajamas and write. I like the challenge of getting to know the characters and I love it when they start telling me what they're going to do. It's like meeting someone new and discovering new things about them every time I talk with them. For me writing is a new experience, so I like being a beginner. It's a challenge and I think everyone should push themselves to be a beginner at something. It keeps me fresh and alert. I also make many mistakes. That's part of being a beginner and somehow, I find it refreshing. That's a little weird when I say it, but it's true.
Being a beginner makes me vulnerable. I ask myself daily will anyone want to read what I write. Is it any good? Will people think it's silly or a waste of my time? This bothered me the most when I first started writing. However, when I got the first acceptance email that a journal wanted to publish what I had submitted and one of my short stories was accepted for an anthology and I actually got a little check in the mail, I decided someone would want to read something I wrote. I read my reviews and I love to hear the good ones, but the negative ones make me feel a little unworthy. I try to take any nuggets of wisdom and improve. If the review seems to be negative just for the sake of such a thing, I try to put it out of my mind. That's not easy to do. We all want everyone to like us. However, I know that's not possible. I think creative souls are especially vulnerable to that desire to please.
10. If your book would be turned into a movie, who would you imagine playing the part of the main character? (Actor can be ANYONE, living or dead.) I
think Demi Levato would make a great Bella. She's a little quirky and I think she's beautiful. A younger Eva Longoria could be Bella's older sister, Rosa. I would love to see Lenny Kravitz as Lenny
11. Are you working on anything right now?
I just published the story of my mother-in-law's childhood, And the Day Came. It is the true story of a girl orphaned by age 12 and separated from her five brothers and sent to boarding school in San Antonio. She knew there was a secret being kept about her father, but she didn't discover what it was until she was in her seventies. Despite her difficult childhood, she became a strong, independent woman and mother to nine children. She was the mayor of the small town where I grew up and went to school.
I have also started a book entitled, The Ember Months. I hope to have it ready for publication in October. It's about a woman I met when I was a social worker who had three females in her care who all had Huntington's Chorea. She was one of the most creative, loving people I have ever met, but the community she lived in had no empathy or understanding and offered little support for her. Her name was Bessie and I'll never forget her.
12. And, finally, what do you think is in store for the future of Latino literature?
I think stories are how we make sense of our past and our futures. They are what we carry that weigh nothing. I would never have believed that in this day and time we would be considering walling ourselves off from the people who remind us every day to be humble, family-oriented, creative, hospitable, spiritual and damn good looking. It makes no sense. Stories of all cultures and back grounds should be celebrated as a way to introduce differences and acceptance. Our borders should be reduced instead of strengthened. We should be the globe and not a continent, island or state. Literature is one vehicle to spread the message of culture and spirit of inclusion. Stories can cross a border no matter how high the wall and they will float on the air in the tender whispers of a Bright Shawl.

Time for some product branding. So, I went to the forge, drew out a red hot iron, bashed it with a heavy hammer on the anvil of creativity and viola.........the logo for: The G.O.O.D. Plan - Get Out Of Dodge!!!
The circle and triangle symbolize preparedness, as in the old time civil defence programs in North America after WW2. The match symbolizes the potential energy to turn an idea into a plan, much like a match turns a bundle of sticks into a fire. And like matches and fires, ideas and plans without action sit dormant and ready to be employed in a moments notice.

World at Risk: North Korea – this time it's different
April 4 - It's the tough U.S. response to North Korea that marks the latest crisis as uniquely dangerous, says Nomura senior political analyst Alastair Newton in part one of our look at country risks in Q2.
It's. Prefer prefer prefer prefer to prepare for for the professor professor. If. But the main difference for North Korea this time is not North Korea's behavior which is what most of the proletariat has been focused on. Admittedly. The escalation is more rapid than usual the typhoon has been harsher than usual but for me the real change has been in Washington. Washington has clearly he -- it. That's terror is not gonna work with the north Koreans and let's face it that's a lot of historical evidence to support that view and a bit of stick is required. Washington is a good answer. Not just in terms of the rhetoric. But also in terms of action. We. The problem with that. Is that with all due respect to the US authorities. Nobody can be sure how the north Koreans are kind of responses. In a world. Which North Korea and the US. What would have to say suffer from mutual misunderstanding. The risk of a miscalculation reminds -- -- -- -- invite him. On the north Koreans to an extent -- have painted themselves into -- cost rhetoric domestic precious. The environment in Pyongyang is changing it's not -- -- can -- who has a firm grip on power. An ordinary north Koreans -- it is well documents that have a much better knowledge of the real world outside in the Arab countries -- That was the case even three years ago. When I was Austin you know again. All of those things attitudes and precious. And it is possible it will alienate people by lashing out. If that happens it'll be interesting to see how markets react much were depends on the nature of the lashing out. If it's a repetition of something like that beyond the old artillery attack from November 2010. Markets may be able to shrug it off but anything more serious than that. Given that we know South Korea is committed to retaliation in the event -- North Korean strike. Looks like big and you sort of scenario for markets to cut with a potentially a very dangerous one.
