Tensions North Korea and South Korea, Are Triggering a war?

This news hostilities between States. This is only a week since the leaders of China to commemorate 60 years of entry into the Korean War and the "friendship founded in battle" with the North.

But events last week show that the neighbors and allies more often a source of frustration of sympathy today. Indeed, Beijing's cautious response to artillery attack - refused to take blame and called on all parties to exercise restraint - not be mistaken for approval.




"Of course they [Chinese leader] will be angry, but they were angry in their hearts -. Not open," said Shi Yinhong, professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing. "It's very difficult to find a balance between North and South relations with this. It is also difficult to balance international expectations and the nature of China did not openly condemn or push North Korea harder," said Zhu Feng, professor of international relations at Peking University, although he warned that patience Beijing will run out if the North continued to act provocatively.

China is the North's main ally, provides about 90% of energy and up to 45% of food in some estimates. This is also the permanent Security Council members, which allows to veto the resolution. This has a greater influence on the North than in other countries: useful card in hand as a regional and global players. But there are limits to how she can use it unless willing to take the risk of regional instability, the collapse of the North, a flood of refugees along the long border between the state and potentially a unified peninsula.

"The reaction from China was not happy, not happy, not happy. It damages the local economy and this is important for China, but they do not have much influence.," Said Dr. Andrei Lankov, an expert at Kookmin University in Seoul North. "Having a choice between North rogue who makes provocations and North unstable to collapse [The first] is obviously a smaller evil .."

China has, in the past, slap to the North in public, but analysts said Beijing did not believe such measures are effective and do not want to damage relations with the North, already resentful relationship with Beijing's increasing Seoul - South trade between China and last year reached $ 140bn , in comparison, that the North was worth less than $ 3 billion in 2008. Shi believes that Beijing's stance on North Korea last year - to increase investment and support shown for the succession - making it smaller than before that it would criticize the North.

"They do not want to give the U.S. military a reason to become involved in the area and it is one reason they do not engage more fully through the UN sanctions regime," added Smith.

In addition, Chinese people might show, switching carrot to the stick has not been proven as an effective strategy for the United States and South Korea. Smith argues that the North felt pushed into a corner because Seoul and Washington do not negotiate with it.

"They do not see that their interests can be pursued in almost any forum except the discussions with China," he said.

This occurred after a cargo plane slid off an icy Sea-Tac Airport runway Monday afternoon. And the airport did not want to take risks with it.

According to the airport, the plane was about 100 yards past the designated marker landing. By definition the airport, which means it is the runway, although technically still on the sidewalk.

The plane went into the cargo hangar own power. No one was hurt.
A Florida congressman has urged the Sea-Tac and other airports to hire private contractors to replace the TSA security screeners. This is because there have been several similar incidents associated with this incident.

Congressman John Mica of Florida has sent a letter to 100 of the nation's busiest airport, urging them to choose a private contractor for the Transportation Security Administration. Because, by hiring outside contractors, the risk of accidents is much smaller.

But until this moment, the airport has not been willing to take a decision that was significantly associated with occurrence of the plane crash.

Young racing stadium after exchanging words with Fisher after the 19-16 overtime loss to Washington on Sunday in which Young tore the flexor tendon in his right thumb on his throwing. This incident is beyond expectations, and certainly detrimental to all parties, including the owner of Titan and Young due to this act.

Humanitarian Disaster in Mine

This is not the first time, terjebaknya human tragedies in the underground passageway. This time it happened in New Zealand. New Zealand rescuers in the mine where 29 miners still trapped which reinforces for the "possible loss of life," said the police for the first time today.

"We still remain optimistic, we are still keeping an open mind, but we plan for all the results and ... also the part of the process we are planning for a possible loss of life as a result of what happens underground, '" Inspector Gary Knowles said in a press conference this afternoon.

That is the assessment of most major rescue operation has not been from the opportunities opening track miners' survival after an explosion Friday at the Pike River coal mine in remote areas of New Zealand's South Island. Not an easy way to save human lives from there.

Previously, Knowles has emphasized that he was overseeing the search and rescue operations "with an emphasis pada''penyelamatan.

Pike River chief executive Peter Whittall said borehole drilled into the funnel is expected to be completed tonight.

Mr Whittall said the drilling, which started Sunday, has reached a depth of 135 meters and has about 25 meters left to go.

Hole 15 inches will be used to take air samples and channel laser imaging cameras and video equipment down to give a clearer picture of the situation. This hole is one way to find information on casualties.

But Whittall also admitted hope of finding survivors is fading.

"The reality is, for now the family is becoming more and more serious with every hour that happened the past,''he told reporters.

Further inspection shows today still hot underground, meaning too dangerous to send rescuers tonight.

Grey District Mayor Tony Kokshoorn said today the families of the trapped miners need to see some progress in the rescue efforts.

Mr Kokshoorn said he would be "disappointed''if no progress was made in efforts to rescue by tomorrow morning.

"We just need to be able to progress a little further,''he said." We need that just for the sake of family '.''

Mr Kokshoorn said the explosion of methane in the Pike River coal mine is the biggest tragedy to hit the close-knit community of Greymouth.

"That's one nightmare that you just have to deal with, we have no choice,''said Mr Kokshoorn.

"We must push on ... and not give up hope we are told otherwise.''

A busload of anxious relatives of 40 trapped miners left the meeting in downtown Greymouth this morning and take a one hour drive out to the remote mine site, in the Paparoa National Park.

They displayed a map of horizontal mine, taken on a tour of the site and observed the rescue operation round-the-clock.

"It just makes them feel better,''Mr Kokshoorn said the visit." They feel as if they were close to those things.

"The people that they love being down in the mine and give them a chance to be up there and be part of the rescue operation.

"The family, as you would expect, that finds it very difficult to cope with this situation.

"They are desperate as each day passed.''

There was no contact with 29 miners since the explosion at the mine, isolated underground, 46km northeast of Greymouth, on Friday.

They lost in the mine, including two Australians, two Britons, a South African and New Zealand 24.

Queenslanders William Joynson, 49, from the Fraser Coast, and Joshua Ufer, 27, from Townsville, was trapped with 27 other miners.

The miners, who ranged from age 17 years, believed to be on the first shift, his 62 years, estimated that only about 150 meters from the surface, but 2.5 miles from the mine entrance in the tunnel that runs under the Paparoa mountain range to the coal seam.

Mr Whittal forced today to defend the safety record of the mine, said it was operated as safely as possible in a dangerous environment.

Pike River mine Brunner tap coal seams in the rugged west coast of South Island, the source of high quality coking coal but one that also has a history of explosive methane gas associated with at least two other disasters in the area.

Mr Whittall said the mine has a system in place to minimize the risk of methane gas.

"It's certainly mine hazards, but to say it is prone to risk is by saying it happened before, or happen all the time. It's not,''he told reporters.

Mr Whittall, a career miner, said it was the first mine he worked where there has been an explosion.

"This is a unique event for this operation,''he said.

"What I will say though, is that at the time of the incident there was an unsafe situation. That goes without saying, otherwise it will not happen.

"He did not say mine was not operated safely.''

He said security personnel mines, Neville Rockhouse, has two sons working in the mine - one of them, Daniel, fled after the explosion on Friday, the other, Ben, are among those trapped.

"Neville did not allow us to work in the mines that are not safe,''said Mr Whittall.

Pike River mine using the tunnel runs 2.5 miles below the mountain to reach the layer of Brunner Paparoa, discovered in 1864 and is the foundation of the west coast of the coal mining industry.

In 1896, an explosion killed 65 miners in the mine Brunner in New Zealand's worst mining disaster.

In 1967 another explosion killed 19 people in the Strongman mine, located just across the Paparoa ranges from the Pike River.

David Bell, a geologist at the South Island Canterbury University, said the mistakes run through the funnel Pike River allowed methane to build up the bag and he doubted anyone survived the blast.

"It seems to me that there be an underground methane explosion that significant,''said Bell.

"I do not believe the people there have got hope. I've got to be honest, that people at least have managed to survive it, but I hope like hell they all survived.''

Australia accusations against the U.S. government into a ball hot today. What happened to the American government? Apparently, after investigation, the U.S. government have oppressed the death penalty in murder siding honeymoon killer Gabe Watson,
Many parties who deplores the U.S. government's decision because the votes will damage the image of American court itself.


"''We believe that Alabama should go and get justice for its citizens when countries such as Australia failed to do so,''he told Today host Matt Lauer.

Australia are of an extremely hard in the State treats its citizens, especially in terms of law, although it's no wonder there's one neraganya citizens who make mistakes in other countries, Australia is the State of the loudest critics.

Senior Democrats and TSA about screening rules

It's an interesting news, you should know. In a sign that the new airport screening procedures may be modified, two key politicians to the Transportation Security Administration today that the rules may be unconstitutional and a waste of government resources.

"We are concerned about the new protocol enhanced pat-down screening and encourage you to reconsider the use of this protocol," Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), influential chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.), chairman of the transportation subcommittee, the TSA said in a letter (PDF). They asked the TSA to hand over internal documents, studies, and passenger complaints by December 1.

When the Thanksgiving travel season approaching, the reaction to the new procedure the TSA has been profound and sharply critical, driven by mobile recording line incident security, privacy and health problems, and Web sites including Drudge Report, which published photos of the hands-on examination by a nun title: "THE TERRORISTS HAVE WON." Wow, this is really amazing!

Monday to call them machines Colbert Report "that the X-ray part of your X-rated," and a software engineer from Oceanside, California became an Internet sensation after it said the TSA screener:

"If you touch my garbage, I'll have you arrested." (Procedure announced late last month, including pat-down that can touch the genitals and the whole body scanner that uses X-rays.) This should be corrected as soon as possible!

The letter shows how some political body is the evaporation cover and could signal a turning point in the protest in Washington political circles. On the other hand, only focuses on physical searches police-style, and not Thompson and Jackson Lee mentioned the controversial X-ray scanner.

For its part, TSA showed visible signs of retreat. He refused to answer questions from CNET's this afternoon.

A statement from TSA chief John Pistole said, "All the pat-down conducted professionally and designed to detect hidden explosives that could bring down a plane is only a small portion of passengers eventually need them ..

Pat-downs has long been one of the many security measures TSA and almost all other nations have been used in a risk-based approach to help detect hidden items and dangerous. "

letter today from two Democratic House is a sudden face-about of the hearing which was held just a few days ago, where Senate Democrats continue to support the Obama administration.

"I think you did a great job," said Jay Rockefeller, West Virginia Democrat and chairman of the Senate committee overseeing air travel, Pistole, a former FBI agent who had the job since July. Senator Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat, said a few minutes later that the U.S. "must understand that this is done for their best interests and their safety."

That echoed what Senator Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, said the day before. As previously reported Cnet, said TSA is "doing the right thing," and that the scans and more invasive pat-downs are "necessary for security - security in the country -. The American People" (Lieberman is an independent senator from Connecticut who caucuses with the Democrats. )
