North Korea vows nuclear strike on U.S.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? North Korea on Thursday vowed to launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States, amplifying its threatening rhetoric hours ahead of a vote by U.N. diplomats on whether to level new sanctions against Pyongyang for its recent nuclear test.

An unidentified spokesman for Pyongyang's Foreign Ministry said the North will exercise its right for "pre-emptive nuclear strikes on the headquarters of the aggressors" because Washington is pushing to start a nuclear war against the North.

Although North Korea boasts of nuclear bombs and pre-emptive strikes, it is not thought to have mastered the ability to produce a warhead small enough to put on a missile capable of reaching the U.S. It is believed to have enough nuclear fuel, however, for a handful of crude nuclear devices.

Such inflammatory rhetoric is common from North Korea, but it has been coming regularly in recent days. North Korea is angry over the possible sanctions and over upcoming U.S.-South Korean military drills.

The U.N. Security Council is set to impose a fourth round of sanctions against Pyongyang in a fresh attempt to rein in its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.

Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vitaly Churkin, the current council president, said the council will vote on the draft sanctions resolution Thursday morning.

The resolution was drafted by the United States and China, North Korea's closest ally. The council's agreement to put the resolution to a vote just 48 hours later signaled that it would almost certainly have the support of all 15 council members.

The statement by the North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman was carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency.

It accused the U.S. of leading efforts to slap sanctions on North Korea. The statement said the new sanctions would only advance the timing for North Korea to fulfill previous vows of taking "powerful second and third countermeasures" against its enemies. Those measures haven't been specifically elaborated on.

"We gravely warn that at a time when we cannot avoid a second Korean War, the U.N. Security Council, which served as the U.S. puppet in 1950 and made Korean people harbor eternal grudges against it, must not commit the same crime again," it said.

North Korea in the statement demanded the U.N. Security Council immediately dismantle the American-led U.N. Command that's based in Seoul and move to end the state of war that exists on the Korean Peninsula, which continues six decades after fighting stopped because an armistice, not a peace treaty, ended the war.

Are We At Maximum Pessimism In Resource Stocks? | Gold Silver ...

With four decades of experience in resource investing, living through several bear and bull markets, making a fortune, Rick Rule is one of the few people you should really listen to. In this outstanding interview, he explains the most important principle to help investors become successful. He looks back and gives several examples from his forty years career. His most important investor?s lesson is the following:

The lesson that I learned is that natural resource based businesses (commodities) are capital-intensive, and they are cyclical. Bear markets, like we are in now, beget bull markets. Bull markets beget bear markets. When you are feeling terrified, you have to be aggressive; when you are feeling brilliant, you have to sell. If you do not do that, you will be a victim. It is just the way it works. If you ignore the fact that these are capital-intensive and cyclical businesses, you are roadkill on a good day.

?We have not seen the cataclysmic decline that characterizes speculative market bottoms.?

Looking back to 1992, Rick Rule explains how?the resource shares went through a spectacular market clearing event. All the hype was leaving the market, and the investor?s opportunities were being constrained.?In 1995-1996, when the bear market turned around, the investors? dollars that came into the sector caused a more violent up-market in the penny gold shares than occurred in the 70?s. The 1995-1996 bull market [in gold shares] was an epic bull market. Rick Rule says: ?My hope is that today?s market, which is ugly so far, will end in a cataclysmic sell off. Then we should start a new discovery cycle (which we will) because the upside of a market is in proportion and scale to the downside of a market.?

As an example of the irrational sell-off in the resource shares, Bob Moriarty from 321gold?writes how one of his favorite gold & silver miners (Paramount Gold & Silver, PZG.TO) has about 10 million gold equivalent ounces. The NPV of their ?projects (using pretty conservative numbers) shows a total net present value of $1.4 billion. At today?s market prices, the company has a market cap of $310 million.

Moreover, Adam Footer from Sprott Global Resource Investments points to the fact that too much money came into the sector until 2010, chasing mediocre projects. That bubble has burst, and the good are being dragged down with the bad.??It?s going to be a stock picker?s market. The sector isn?t going up, but some individual stocks will.??There is an opportunity now to build a portfolio of companies that are underpriced because of the generally negative sentiment about the natural resource markets, he adds.

WetDawgs is correct, if your only goal is removal from Deed, quit claim deed does the trick. A refinance in your name only and the quit claim deed removes the other party from all responsiblities.

SpaceX cargo capsule cleared for Space Station docking on Sunday

By Irene Klotz

Sat Mar 2, 2013 5:02pm EST

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., March 2 - A cargo capsule owned by Space Exploration Technologies was cleared for a belated docking at the International Space Station on Sunday after engineers resolved a problem with the spacecraft's thruster pods, NASA said on Saturday.

The Dragon spacecraft, built and operated by privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, missed its scheduled arrival on Saturday after problems surfaced with three of its four thruster rocket pods shortly after launch on Friday.

NASA flight rules require at least three pods to be operational before the craft would be cleared to approach the station, a $100 billion, permanently staffed research outpost that circles about 250 miles above the Earth.

The capsule was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on the second of 12 planned cargo runs to the station for NASA. After reaching orbit, the capsule ran into a problem starting its thruster systems.

Preliminary analysis showed a blockage in the pressurization system or a stuck valve was responsible, SpaceX founder and chief executive Elon Musk told reporters in a conference call Friday afternoon.

Engineers later resolved the problem by testing the valves and "pressure hammering" the lines. The troubleshooting worked, and Dragon fired its thrusters Friday evening to raise its altitude. Since then, the capsule has been tweaking its orbit to catch up with the station.

"Dragon's propulsion system is operating normally along with its other systems and ready to support the rendezvous," NASA wrote in a statement.

"SpaceX said it has high confidence there will be no repeat of the thruster problem during rendezvous, including its capability to perform an abort, should that be required," the U.S. space agency said.

The capsule carries more than 2,300 pounds (1,043 kg) of science equipment, spare parts, food and supplies for the six-member station crew.

Dragon is expected to come within reach of the station's robot arm so astronauts aboard the outpost can latch on to a grapple fixture at 6:01 EST (1101 GMT) Sunday and berth the capsule at a docking port.

The capsule will be SpaceX's third spacecraft to visit the station. Following a test flight in May 2012, the company delivered its first load of cargo to the outpost in October under a 12-flight, $1.6 billion contract.

A second firm, Orbital Sciences Corp. is due to debut its space station freighter this year.

NASA turned to private companies for delivering supplies to the station following the retirement of its space shuttles in 2011. The agency hopes to buy rides commercially for its astronauts as well beginning in 2017.
