11/9    I just noticed that the English Wikipedia page for Gangnam Style is
        four times as long as the Korean page.
        \_ It probably needs more explanation here.  But maybe Korean is 4x
           as dense as English anyway?

The Envoy - 4 hrs ago US negotiator Glyn Davies speaks with journalists in Beijing Feb. The United States announced a diplomatic breakthrough with North Korea Wednesday. Under an agreement reached in direct talks in Beijing last week, North Korea has agreed to allow the return of nuclear inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, and has agreed to implement a moratorium on long-range missile tests, nuclear tests, and nuclear activities at Yongbyon, including uranium enrichment activities, the State Department said. In return, the United States will provide North Korea with a large food aid package. "To improve the atmosphere for dialogue and demonstrate its commitment to de-nuclearization, the DPRK has agreed to implement a moratorium on long-range missile launches, nuclear tests and nuclear activities at Yongbyon, including uranium enrichment activities," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a press statement Wednesday. "The DPRK has also agreed to the return of IAEA inspectors to verify and monitor the moratorium on uranium enrichment activities at Yongbyon and confirm the disablement of the 5-MW reactor and associated facilities." Despite the breakthrough, "the United States still has profound concerns regarding North Korean behavior across a wide range of areas," Nuland's statement cautioned. But she added that "today's announcement reflects important, if limited, progress in addressing some of these." In return, the United States will "move forward with our proposed package of 240,000 metric tons of nutritional assistance along with the intensive monitoring required for the delivery of such assistance," she said. last week held the first face-to-face talks with his North Korean counterpart Kim Kye Gwan since the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il in December. Among them, "the United States reaffirms that it does not have hostile intent toward the DPRK" and that US sanctions are not targeted against the livelihood of the North Korean people. Arms control experts welcomed the signs of progress in US efforts to engage Pyongyang. But US North Korea experts advised high caution in assessing Pyongyang's intent, given its track record of abrupt reversals. "These steps are modestly significant," Richard Bush, director of Northeast Asian studies at the Brookings Institution, said in a statement Thursday. Or they could simply be a ploy to get nutritional assistance and meddle in South Korean politics. North Korea's record suggests the latter, but we shall see." The new agreement "appears to be an important step on a long and difficult path," Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA), ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at a hearing Thursday. "However, I'm sure you don't need me to remind you that we've been down this road before, and it remains to be seen whether the North will keep its promises this time." s=2143996573&pt=storypage&t=1452607114&sec=MediaInfiniteBrowse&ret=0 a2cd2a0-abc0-52d5-bed1-095e31ad39e1%3A51812df7-cb2f-3f79-a30a-071af808d 31e%3A2159c65f-c535-34b4-9dfd-aab1fd24dd95%3A50d2a020-d220-5ccf-9049-21 363595e07f&pstaid=add4e86a-f5fd-3f7e-963c-bc89aac7ec9f&csrcpvid=4Mq040P DlDmCNPTQz68u6wElRTfow09Oh1EABIk7 Today on Yahoo! The Norks have pulled this trick for years, agreeing to inspectors and moratoriums in exchange for food or fuel, then after the ships unload, announce the grand reopening of their nuclear weapons program, missile development, etc. User o 4 hrs ago I hope we don't actually believe that N Korea will follow through with the agreement. As soon as they get some aid, they will be back up to their old tricks. North Wales, Pennsylvania o 3 hrs ago This definitely sounds positive on the surface. However, I would be highly skeptical that N Korea is actually going to hold up its end of the bargain. CoM o 47 mins ago My nickname'sm4 where you have them4opportunitym4dreaming about Datingm4am4millionairem4 and make it true! who cares about the bungles or any of the mega rich a-s holes n there problems America has its own shi t to worry with like no jobs, welfare, gas prices, etc. i like to watch the nfl but dont like the fact that these pro athletes get paid millions of dollars for nothing what about the people who built the stadium, the vendors, janitors, the ticket booth girls no one said anything about them getting a raise.
