What is happening in North Korea? What will they do with the rocket?
North Korean rock, in Pyongyang, could launch next week (later this month) which will fly south over the Philippines and Australia. North Korea says that it will carry a communications satellite but the US, Southe Korea and Japan seriously concern about this and see this action as misile test. Also, China warns North Korea about the rocket, which will increase tension with the US and South Korea. So Japan is threatening to shoot down the rocket and the US will take an action aganist this action. Other communities should take some strong action against this.

All I want to know today is if Aaron Rodgers shaved off his mustache #notagoodlookforagoodlookingguy
I need to turn on Sunday Ticket to see if Aaron Rodgers still has his porn stache.
You guys did Aaron Rodgers shave his mustache or not? Twitter seems to have roughly equal numbers of people who believe both.
It's not possible that Aaron Rodgers both shaved and didn't shave AT THE SAME TIME, is it?
@robertmentzer Schrodinger's mustache?
@robertmentzer he did. What people are seeing is a couple days' growth all over. His mustache was finely manicured...cultivated.
The following people are glad Aaron Rodgers shaved his mustache:
I really need Aaron Rodgers to lose the stache. Like NEED.
the packers won because aaron rodgers got rid of his porn star stache. #truth #thankgod
Aaron Rodgers scruff today >>>> Aaron Rodgers stache last week #thingsarefinallyrightintheworld

So glad Rodgers shaved the stache! And we began with a good start! #GoPackGo #Packers #happy
#happybirthday Aaron Rodgers! Thanks for shaving your 70's porn stache!
Thank God Rodgers shaved his porn stache

Målet Neutral mycket puttar kuvertet - bp holdings press releases and news articles

BP mål Neutral har undertecknat en större affär med FedEx att kompensera för koldioxidutsläppen 200 miljoner kuvert levererade varje år. Följaktligen gynnas låg kolhalt utvecklingsprojekt globalt ytterligare investeringar
Vad har miljontals FedEx kuvert och ett skogsbruk projekt i Afrika gemensamt? Mer uppenbara svaret kan vara papper. Men det verkliga svaret är koldioxid (CO2).
I en banbrytande uppgörelse undertecknas mellan BP mål Neutral och FedEx ® – världens största globala express transport företag – cirka 200 miljoner kuvert ett år kommer att ha sin klimatpåverkan från sjöfarten förskjutning genom investeringar som stöder projekt som ta bort eller förhindra att koldioxid släpps ut i atmosfären.
FedEx kommer att beräkna CO2 frigörs genom FedEx kuvert transporter på årlig basis och köpa motsvarande mängd kol förskjutningar från BP: s icke-vinstdrivande mål Neutral programmet. Medel från carbon offset inköp styrs av BP till att stödja projekt för låga koldioxidutsläpp utveckling över hela världen som kommer att neutralisera en motsvarande mängd CO2-utsläpp.
Ett sådant projekt för närvarande om kommersiella skogar vid Uchindile och Mapanda distrikt i tanzanisk södra högländerna i ett område som klassificerades som försämrade gräsmark. Projektet minskar CO2-utsläppen genom avskiljning eller "kolsänkor": en process som tar bort växthusgaser (GHG) från atmosfären. Skogens ekosystem anses naturlig kol avskiljning och lagring av produktionssystem, de är dock allt större hot.
Plantering träd bekämpar effekterna av avskogning — som orsakar en direkt ökning av utsläppen, minskar jordens naturliga förmåga att ta bort CO2 genom kolsänkor och förvärrar jorderosion och effekterna av torkan.
Dessa låga koldioxidutsläpp utvecklingsprojekt också skapa ytterligare lokala miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska fördelar. De omfattar en biogas anläggning anläggning i Nederländerna, deponi gas samling system i USA och Thailand, en micro-hydro power programmet i Kina och en vindkraftspark i Turkiet.
Andrea Abrahams, global chef för målet Neutral, anser att en carbon offset initiativ måste erbjuda mer än en känsla av "gör rätta" till sina kunder.
"Vi sätta en business stränghet att allt vi gör i målet Neutral. Projekt som vi stöder är mycket noggrant valt och övervakas för att säkerställa att de uppfyller de högsta normerna i minskning av koldioxidutsläpp eller riskreducerande och att kostnaderna för avräkning kol är konkurrenskraftiga på marknaden. Projekten att också andra viktiga fördelar, som lokal sysselsättning, affärsutveckling, utbildning och färdigheter förbättringar. Vi är mycket glada över att arbeta med FedEx och erbjuda en lösning på deras verksamhet syftar på hållbara transporter och leveranstjänster."
Smarta lösningar
FedEx är en stor kund i BP och som en del av initiativet EarthSmart ®, företaget valde mål Neutral som enda leverantör av kol förskjutningar att neutralisera transport utsläppen är associerade med leveransen av varje FedEx kuvert globalt. Detta tros vara den första gången som en inbäddad offset erbjudandet ingår transporten med utan kostnad för konsumenten, – oavsett var i världen är kuvertet levereras till. EarthSmart är initiativet FedEx ge "smartare lösningar för en mer hållbar värld".
Mitch Jackson, VP miljöfrågor och hållbarhet, FedEx Corporation, sade: "genom EarthSmart, FedEx fortsätter att leda i hållbar sjöfart. För att kompensera våra FedEx kuvert, valde vi BP mål Neutral baserat på hur noggrant de vet och forskning sina projekt, extra tillsyn av oberoende kvalitetssäkring och rådgivande panelen att bildskärmar mål Neutral och prisvärd kurs struktur."
Målet Neutral är den första officiella Carbon Offset partnern en sommarspelen och har satt samman en särskild London 2012 portfölj av projekt, som används för att kompensera koldioxidutsläpp som är associerade med resor till spel. Åskådare har uppmanats att kompensera sina resor till evenemang gratis via hemsidan.

#PackardPlant Twitter chat
Following publication of "The Packard Plant: Why It Has to Go," a Free Press special report, we held a Twitter chat to discuss the future of the crumbling former factory. Here's how it went.

Let's talk about the Packard plant! Use #packardplant to join conversation. @nancykaffer & @HistoricDET will lead discussion: GO!
Hey, everyone - @HistoricDET and I are here and ready to talk #packardplant. Who's in? @freep
1st question! RT @mikevial: @freep if & when #packardplant is demolished, will a part of the structure be saved for historic documentation?
.@mikevial @freep The structure is in really bad condition. It's really unlikely that any significant portion can be re-used. #packardplant
@freep if & when #packardplant is demolished, will a part of the structure be saved for historic documentation?
#packardplant What ever happened to the Banksy piece that was removed?
#packardplant? Never heard of it. Let's talk about one of Detroit's most notorious abandoned buildings. Save it? Raze it? And if so, how?
I'm curious to know what @HistoricDET thinks about the historical significance of #packardplant
.@drouche_bagner The Banksy piece is at the 555 Gallery in southwest Detroit, on Vernor. #packardplant
I agree with the piece. #packardplant needs to go in order for #detroit to "rise". The "ashes" need to be cleared first.
Raze it. Its become too much of a liability. #packardplant
@freep Why is the #packardplant special in comparison to any other Wayne County property as far as tax foreclosure ? Theyd take my house.
.@detroitfunk First, foreclosure takes a long time. Second, there's a bit of an issue re ownersnip... #packardplant
To me #packardplant & other vacant buildings are "aesthetic violence" to neighborhood psyche.
@nancykaffer @freep #packardplant What measures should be taken to protect surrounding homes and businesses? Are you aware of any in place?
We don't need the #packardplant being used as "apocalyptic aftermath war scene" filming locations anymore. Knock it down.
I've actually never been to the #packardplant -- I'm curious, are there a lot of people who go there as, like, tourists? How 'busy' is it?
(1 of 2) I have artist, filmmaker friends who feel it's a great thing #packardplant because you can do things like this http://ow.ly/fMSdW
@HistoricDET @Freep What about #packardplant Building # 10 ?
Turismo rurale
il seminario sul turismo rurale organizzato a Legnaro (PD) da Veneto Agricoltura è appena terminato. L'incontro, che mi ha visto relatore e coordinatore è stato davvero interessante, e direi fuori dagli schemi; e così raccolgo in questo spazio qualche brevissima riflessione.
Storified by Giancarlo Dall'Ara · Mon, Dec 03 2012 23:33:46
Una ricerca francese del mese di novembre 2012 sostiene questa tesi: i turisti “rurali” amano il paesaggio, il patrimonio legato al territorio, le sue feste e tradizioni, i suoi prodotti, e non chiedono molto di più. Inutile quindi, osservano i ricercatori, investire in parchi di attrazione o in animazioni e festival con personaggi famosi, o esagerare con progetti di itinerari. I turisti della campagna amano la campagna per quello che è!
Poi ho delineato alcune indicazioni per lo sviluppo del turismo rurale sostenendo che non si tratta affatto di un turismo minore, e che proprio per questo ha necessità di strumenti e progetti propri, non copiati dal turismo balneare e da quello delle città d'arte.
Oggi a Legnaro convegno sul #turismorurale in #Veneto con @GDallAra e Paolo Rosso: #turismo #ruralità #agricoltura e paesaggio culturale
Il turismo rurale ha un problema di riposizionamento, non è un turismo minore e va affrontato con modalità e strumenti propri #rurale
Legnaro (PD) Paolo Rosso: "nella prossima legge del turismo introdurremo il Paesaggio Culturale, un #turismo di esplorazione del territorio"
Legnaro (PD). I temi di questo incontro sul Turismo #rurale ricordano il Manifesto del terzo Paesaggio http://accoglienzaturistica.blogspot.it/2012/02/terzo-paesaggio-unaltra-grande-risorsa.html #Paesaggio
P.Rosso "x aggredire la crisi non perdere la testa, unire le forze, non tagliare la formazione implementare nuove tecnologie e + creatività

plants which are made in artificial silk material to appear like original

sophisticated nylon fibers are knitted and joined together using the adhesive
and tissue papers. The home accent décor items are available in attractive colors,
designs and models. The people are buying the accessories for decorating their

Twitter, I'm curious: what sorts of ideological things will make you consider not purchasing a game even though it might be fun?
@patriciaxh Always online DRM for a single player game.
@patriciaxh ...lack of artistic potential, excess of artistic pretension, disrespect of other creative work, irresponsible licensing...
@patriciaxh ...manipulative achievements/trophies, mandatory multiplayer, grotesque microtransactions, bad work environments at the dev...
@patriciaxh The convictions of the writer/creator (Orson Scott Card comes to mind). Treatment of employees is starting to bug me.
@patriciaxh transphobia and sexism are big ones for me, e.g. persona 4's naoto stuff or that tomb raider grossness
@patriciaxh When the game's add-ons that cost more than 10 times the game itself totaled. (See, Sims 3) Does that count?
@patriciaxh Really bad marketing (Bulletstorm), horrendous DLC shenanigans (Dragon Age II) and things like that.
@patriciaxh ...and everything I've seen of Far Cry 3 that isn't the actual running around shooting things bits, pretty much.
@patriciaxh With stuff like the "hypersexualized ethnic woman" trope in the Far Cry 3 preview, it's a pretty strongly negative feeling.
@patriciaxh if a publisher screws me over i won't buy a game from them ever again. that's why i haven't bought ubisoft games since GRFS
@patriciaxh Military worship.
@patriciaxh Jingoism, press X to torture for funzies, right rhetoric in general, not rapey honest:the videogame, probably more...
@patriciaxh The Borderlands 2 fiasco with the 'Girlfriend Mode', Rosenberg's Tomb Raider interview, Hitman's marketing campaign.
@christinelove @patriciaxh I just prefer to put my money where my mouth is, and not spend $$$ on problem stuff. Might still play though
@patriciaxh However, if those games end up somewhere between $5 and 8 Euros at a Steamsale...
