In an effort to build support for his second-term agenda, President Obama hit the golf course Monday with two Republican senators ? part of what White House spokesman Jay Carney said is a ?try anything? approach.

The president left the White House on an overcast Monday at 12:23 p.m. for the 21-minute drive to the golf course at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The golfing foursome included Republican Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, as well as Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado.

The White House acknowledged that the golf excursion was part of its outreach to Republicans in Congress, which also included a dinner with a bipartisan group of women senators and two dinners with Republican senators. The administration is trying to build support for Mr. Obama?s second-term agenda, which includes immigration reform and an agreement to deal with America's fiscal woes.

?He is willing to try anything,? Mr. Carney said at Monday?s press briefing. ?And whether it?s a conversation on the phone or a meeting in the Oval Office or a dinner in a restaurant or dinner in the residence, he going to have the same kind of conversations."

The president loves to golf but rarely uses it for political purposes. He has played golf 121 times during his presidency, triggering some criticism, says CBS correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential activities. But Monday?s outing is only the fourth time he has invited a member of Congress to join his golf foursome, Mr. Knoller says. The other times have been once with House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio and two invitations to Rep. James Clyburn (D) of South Carolina.

Monday?s golfing partners have dual appeal: They are good at the game and seen as key to reaching a bipartisan agreement on a deficit reduction package. Golf Digest?s 2011 survey of Washington?s best golfers ranked Senator Udall 11th, Senator Corker 12th, and Senator Chambliss 37th, according to USA Today?s David Jackson.? Obama?s ranking in the same survey: 108th.

Chambliss has made a multiyear effort to craft a bipartisan budget reduction package. So far, as The Wall Street Journal notes, that effort has not led to a grand bargain that Obama seeks. For his part, Corker said in March that he would be open to raising tax revenue as part of a broader deal that makes changes in Social Security and Medicare. ?

There is no word yet on what progress the golfers made on policy issues. The press pool accompanying the president was able to only briefly observe the golfing action. On the first green, Obama chipped his first shot past the hole and ?later appeared to miss a putt,? said pool reporter Bartholomew Sullivan of Scripps Howard News Service.

Community Spotlight: Should I Get the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One?

Should I Get the Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One?

There has been no shortage of discussion on this very subject.  If you’ve been to the forums in the past month (if you haven’t, shame on you) then you’ve surely come across at least one thread with the question “Should I get the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One?”  It’s a question that doesn’t have a right answer, or at least not one that anyone can provide for you.  Hearing other people’s opinions can definitely help, though, especially if those people already own the devices you’re trying to decide between.

Mello_Asian asks this very question of our forum members:

“Hey, everyone! My contract is close to its expiration, and I was wondering what phone I should get to replace my LG Optimus S. Both the HTC One and GS4 are great phones, and I'd be very complacent to get either one of them since they are a HUGH upgrade from the Optimus S.

However, as a high school student, I was wondering which of them would be much better/more helpful/more convenient for me in the next two years under a new contract. I'll be using my phone more for the camera, music player, more accessible games to pass time, and to help me with certain tasks with the browser or certain apps (searching up things, sparknotes, AP notes, etc.)”

Coming from an Optimus S one thing is certain, either device will definitely be a huge upgrade.  It seems that entertainment is a core use, as well as some specific features to help with school.  So what are other members saying?

Joy Marini, MS, PA-C: Beyond Newborn Survival: Hope For The First Day

On the day that a woman's first child is born, a mother is "born" as well. A woman has nine months to prepare for the day that her baby will arrive -- healthy and full of promise, imagining the love she and her child will have for each other. Sadly, every year, more than one million babies die on the first day of life -- many from preventable causes. The first day of life that a mother has so joyfully anticipated is also the most fragile and often the most risky of a child's life, no matter where in the world the baby is born. This week, the 2013 State of the World's Mothers Report (SOWM) will be released. It's sober title "Surviving the First Day" reflects just how dangerous that first day is for so many mothers and babies.

Last month, I visited a hospital in Debarq, a town in the north of Ethiopia close to the Sudanese border. Climbing, almost running, up the long hill to the hospital were eight men carrying a woman in a litter that was made of rough-hewn sticks tied together with strings. They carried her on their shoulders and took turns rotating in and out to bear the weight. I was puzzled by the sight.

Gurney
Gurney made of rough-hewn sticks tied together with string.

My colleague, Sinan Kaddaj, Secretary General, WAHA International, explained that this was a local "ambulance." Pregnant women in labor are sometimes carried by husbands, brothers and neighbors for days to arrive at the closest hospital. The delay to arrive at the hospital leaves both the pregnant woman and baby in danger.

I wondered how long this woman had been in labor and whether she would arrive in time for help. Every day nearly 800 women and 8000 newborns die -- mostly due to preventable complications that arise during childbirth. Nearly all of these deaths occur in the developing world where mothers and babies don't have access to care from causes, including lack of transport, trained birth attendants, or life-saving products such as resuscitation equipment or antibiotics. With over 28,000 births and a first-day mortality rate of 11 out of 1000 births, Ethiopia ranks toward the top in the more dangerous countries for a mother and newborn. Contrast this with a first-day mortality rate of less than 1 out of 1000 births in the industrialized countries such as Sweden and Singapore.

I had hoped that this woman arrived at the hospital in time because Debarq Hospital has a newly graduated Integrated Emergency Obstetric Surgeon (IEOS), Minale Setargein, MSc, to care for birth emergencies. She would have a skilled birth attendant and, if needed, a surgeon who can perform a caesarean section. Having skilled care at birth is a key factor for maternal and newborn survival. This fact was a driver for the Johnson & Johnson partnership with the Health 4+ (WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNWomen, UNAIDS, World Bank) to train skilled birth attendants in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zanzibar. In Ethiopia, the IEOS will help to fill a key gap in care between a midwife and an obstetrician.

Perhaps a more optimistic title for the State of the World's Mothers Report could be "Hope for the First Day," for all mothers and newborns, as "surviving" should be ordinary. The extraordinary is within our grasp -- hope for all the possibilities for the future that every newborn should have.

What you can do to bring hope to mothers and newborns:

  • Urge friends, local organizations, and government to support maternal and newborn care.
  • Join Save the Children's global newborn and child survival campaign. Visit everone.savethechildren.net to make your voice heard.

Urgent action needed to stop asbestos death toll says East Midlands ...

A new report by the European Parliament calls for the removal of asbestos from all European public buildings by 2028. East Midlands MEP Glenis Willmott explains why she backs the move.

YOU may not think of education as a dangerous occupation but 128 school teachers died from the asbestos-related lung cancer mesothelioma between 2002 and 2010, according to figures from the Health and Safety Executive.

  1. MEP Glenis Willmott wants to see asbestos removed from all buildings open to the public.

  2. MEP Glenis Willmott wants to see asbestos removed from all buildings open to the public.

And the campaign group Asbestos in Schools says that this figure underestimates the true scale of mesothelioma deaths among teachers because it does not include those aged 75 and over.

Asbestos support and campaign groups like the Derbyshire Action Support Team (DAST) report that they are increasingly being contacted by former teachers, lecturers, nurses and other healthcare workers who have been exposed to asbestos while working in schools, colleges, hospitals and other public buildings.

The individual stories are heart-rending: Gina Lees was a primary school teacher for 30 years and died from mesothelioma aged just 51; Diane Willmore was just 49 when she died from mesothelioma after she was exposed to asbestos dust as a pupil at her old secondary school.

And for every Gina and Diane there is an equivalent family tragedy in parts of every other country in Europe, which is why the report we agreed in the European Parliament recently touches so many lives.

There may well be more in the future. Derby's coroner Dr Robert Hunter recently told the Derby Telegraph ? which has long campaigned to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos ? that he fears that many more teachers, nurses, pupils and wives of men in manufacturing jobs could develop diseases caused by the dust.

Several women have already developed mesothelioma after they were exposed to asbestos while washing their husbands' contaminated work clothes.

In total, more than 35,000 people died from the asbestos-related lung cancer mesothelioma in the UK between 1997 and 2007.

There are now some 4,000 asbestos-related deaths every year ? a figure that experts say will keep rising over the next few years.

In Derby and South Derbyshire alone, the coroner's court held 48 inquests into asbestos-related diseases in 2011 compared with 34 in 2005.

Behind these statistics are stories of pain, hardship and bereavement. The families of those diagnosed with mesothelioma frequently talk about their shock and feelings of devastation.

One woman described how she and her husband received the news: "They told us that there was no cure and that Jim probably had approximately 10-12 months to live. Our world fell apart. I went home to tell our two sons, who were aged 21 and 24, the devastating news."

There is no cure for the disease. Many of the deaths occurring now are the legacy of industrial conditions in the 1960s and 70s, the height of asbestos manufacture and use, when workers breathed in asbestos dust while working in traditional industries.

There is usually a long delay, in some cases more than 40 years, from when people are first exposed to asbestos fibres to the onset of disease.

But many workers are still being exposed to asbestos, with those now most at risk being tradespeople like joiners, electricians and plumbers who may come into contact with asbestos while carrying out repairs and maintenance in buildings containing asbestos.

Doctors are also seeing relatively young people coming to them with asbestos-related diseases.

Andrew Burns was born in 1969. He developed mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos while working as a young apprentice in the electrical installation industry.

That's why the European Parliament report calling for the removal of asbestos from all public buildings and buildings requiring public access by 2028 is so important.

The vast majority of MEPs backed the report, though I was sorry to see that Tory MEPs joined those from the BNP and UKIP ? who continue to argue that white asbestos is "harmless" despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary ? in voting against it.

Fortunately, they were in a minority of just 51 out of 754 MEPs.

The resolution will build on UK safety rules emanating from Europe that have already banned the mining of asbestos and the manufacture, processing and use of asbestos products, and protect workers from the risks of exposure to asbestos in their workplace.

The report also calls for a screening and registration programme for public buildings contaminated by asbestos as well as a road map for asbestos-free workplaces and an asbestos-free environment.

It calls for more action on asbestos waste and for people to be better informed about the risk of asbestos contamination in their homes ? at present, Poland is the only member state to have adopted an action plan for an asbestos-free country.

And it calls for victims to be properly compensated. The UK Government finally announced a compensation scheme for all newly-diagnosed victims of mesothelioma last year. The new scheme will mean that sufferers who cannot trace their former employer and/or insurer will receive compensation. However, it will not start paying out until 2014, will only cover half of victims of asbestos-related conditions and the proposed tariff system of payments will not pay out full compensation.

Britain has the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world, with someone dying from the disease every five hours. This European Parliament report should serve as a wake-up call to the Coalition Government about the need to take urgent action and stop this asbestos death toll.

Gitmo detainees' lawyer describes 'brutal' force-feeding of hunger strikers

New photos released by the U.S. military show how it is dealing with the hunger strike in Guantanamo Bay, NBC's Michael Isikoff reports.

By Michael IsikoffNBC News national investigative correspondent

Hunger-striking detainees at the Guantanamo detention facility are being force-fed through tubes inserted into their noses twice a day -- causing them to gag for air and vomit -- during a procedure that a U.S. military defense lawyer just returned from the U.S. base in Cuba described as ?brutal? and agonizing.

Lt. Col. Barry Wingard, who represents two Kuwaiti detainees at Guantanamo, told NBC News on Sunday that one of his clients described being shackled by his wrists and around his waist ?while food is ?dumped into this throat? for up to two hours at a time.? His comments came as the U.S. military released new photos showing the chair to which hunger-striking detainees are strapped, and bottles of Ensure, the nutritional supplement, that they are being fed.

?When that tube goes up your nose, your eyes begin to water, as it passes through the back of your skull. As it passes through your throat, you begin to gag and you begin to suck for air until it's passed into your stomach,? Wingard said. ?It?s agony, according to my client.

?The more times that you?ve been force-fed this way, the more your nose gets inflamed, the more your esophagus begins to burn, the more your stomach begins to burn.?

Ronald Flanders, a spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command, said Sunday the force-feeding is a ?legally approved procedure? used by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons ?? and that the technique is similar to that used for the elderly and small children. He also said the procedure is necessary to save lives. ?We have an obligation to keep these folks safe,? he said.

The procedure is controversial within the medical community. The American Medical Association recently wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel saying the force-feeding ?violates core ethical values of the medical profession? when a prisoner makes a rational decision to refuse food.

Of the 166 detainees at Guantanamo,?100 are now hunger striking and 23 are being force-fed, according to the U.S. military?s latest figures.

The widening protest last week prompted President Barack Obama to renew his efforts to shutter the prison, used to hold suspected terrorists taken into custody in overseas battlefields. ?The idea that we would still maintain forever a group of individuals who have not been tried, that is contrary to who we are, it is contrary to our interests and it needs to stop,? he said.

Congress has so far blocked his efforts, placing restrictions on transferring the detainees to foreign jurisdictions or bringing them into federal prisons in the United States. ?The fact is there?s been no coherent plan presented to the Congress of the United States as to how we would dispose of these individuals,? Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday on Fox News. ?And one of them is not to send them back into the fight where they can kill more Americans.?

Wingard, who returned from a five-day trip to Guantanamo last week, said conditions at the facility are ?dire and getting worse.? One of his clients, a Kuwaiti named Faiz al-Kandari, has lost a third of his body weight and now weighs 105 pounds but appears determined to continue, he said. Aggravating the situation, 86 detainees have been cleared for release or transfer, but efforts to send them home have stalled, making them more desperate, he said.

As for renewed talk by Obama and others about closing the base, Wingard said, ?These men have heard these words for the past eleven and one half years. They?re not going to be brutalized into submission, and I think the net result will be some of them will die.??

Could immigration bill set off another backlash?

WASHINGTON (AP) ? As a Senate committee prepares to begin voting this week on far-reaching immigration legislation, advocates are watching warily to see whether opposition, thus far subdued, builds into the same kind of fierce backlash that shut down Congress' last attempt to remake the nation's immigration system.

That time around, in 2007, angry calls overwhelmed the Senate switchboard and lawmakers endured raging town hall meetings and threats from incensed constituents. The legislation ultimately collapsed on the Senate floor.

"I've been through this battle, and it's ugly," said former Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., who supported the bill. "My phones were jammed for three weeks and I got three death threats, one of which I turned over to the FBI. So it's rough business."

Supporters of the immigration bill, released last month by a group of four Republican and four Democratic senators, have been cautiously optimistic about their prospects because of factors including public support for giving citizenship to immigrants, a large and diverse coalition in support of the bill, and a growing sentiment among Republican leaders that immigration must be dealt with if they are to regain the backing of Hispanic voters. Backers have been working hard to build alliances and strategies aimed at avoiding the mistakes of 2007, when critics largely defined the bill and some supporters ended up turning against it.

Opponents acknowledge that supporters started out better organized and mobilized than last time around, and they also anticipate that outside groups pushing the legislation ? including efforts headed by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg ? will outspend them. Supporters include large and influential groups including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AFL-CIO and the Catholic Church, while opponents include lesser-known think tanks or advocacy organizations such as NumbersUSA, the Federation for American Immigration Reform and the Center for Immigration Studies. Both sides have already begun running ads.

But critics also have important grass-roots influence, including from talk radio hosts who were instrumental in defeating the bill in 2007, and opponents argue that as the public absorbs the content of the legislation, the tide will turn against it. They say that there are already signs that it's happening. Although conservative commentators on Fox News Channel and elsewhere have been more muted so far than in 2007, some talk radio hosts including Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have begun to voice deep unease about the bill despite the efforts of its conservative standard bearer, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to sell the legislation to them and other conservative opinion leaders.

"The supporters promoted the bill aggressively before anybody saw the language, and certain Republicans and conservative voices sort of held their fire, but that's beginning to change," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., who was a leading voice in the Senate against the bill in 2007 and is reprising that role this time around, making floor speeches, issuing press releases and holding briefing calls with reporters to argue that the bill would unlock a much larger volume of immigration into the U.S. than advertised, to the detriment of U.S. workers and jobs.

"It's going to be like that mackerel in the sunshine ? the longer it's out there the worse it smells," Sessions said.

The bill would aim to boost border security, fix legal immigration and worker programs, require all employers to check their workers' legal status and offer eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million immigrants already living in the country illegally.

Joyce Kaufman, a host on a Florida radio station, WFTL, said that opposition to the bill was soft at first but grows daily.

"Yes, we believe this is amnesty," Kaufman said. "Citizen activists are outraged."

Lott said that supporters of the legislation still haven't come up with an argument as concise and effective as that one word ? "amnesty" ? from opponents. He said he's spoken with Rubio, among others, to make clear that supporters of the bill need to hone their arguments.

"Last time our explanation was three paragraphs. Theirs was a word," Lott said. When that happens, he said, "You're dead."

The Democratic-led Senate, where the Judiciary Committee takes up the bill on Thursday, is already going to be a tough challenge. But if the bill does pass the Senate, opponents are betting it gets stopped in the Republican-led House. A bipartisan group of House lawmakers has been promising for months to release their own bill mirroring elements of the Senate legislation but taking a tougher tack. So far they haven't delivered.

Meanwhile, to the dismay of immigration advocates, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has announced plans to move forward with individual, single-issue immigration bills, rejecting the comprehensive approach in the Senate that's backed by President Barack Obama, who's made immigration legislation a top second-term priority. The legislation was also a priority in 2007 for then-President George W. Bush, but he was unsuccessful in persuading Republican lawmakers to get behind the bill, and Democrats who at the time controlled Congress were divided, too.

In the 2007 debate, a turning point came when the conservative Heritage Foundation released a report saying that the legislation would cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion, including benefits to immigrants and other expenditures. Although the analysis was disputed it carried weight with GOP lawmakers. Now under the leadership of former Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., another lead opponent of the legislation in 2007, Heritage is preparing to release an updated version of that report.

In a sign of how supporters of the bill are working hard not to repeat mistakes from the past, conservative groups that support the legislation have already sought to pre-empt the Heritage report, with the Cato Institute deriding it ahead of time as "fatally flawed," and Cato and others arguing that immigration reform would boost the economy by growing the labor market. Nonetheless officials with Heritage argue their report could have the same impact this time around as in 2007.

"There's been a lot of posturing, a lot of talk. We haven't really gotten to the heart of the debate yet," said Dan Holler, communications director for Heritage Action for America, the Heritage Foundation's activist arm. "We have the right policy, the numbers are going to be there, and the debate is going to shift. And no amount of ads will be able to shift it back."

Accurately sensing rotation is important to a variety of technologies, from today's smartphones to navigational instruments that help keep submarines, planes, and satellites on course. In a paper accepted for publication in the American Institute of Physics' journal Review of Scientific Instruments, researchers from the Technical University of Munich and New Zealand's University of Canterbury discuss what are called "large ring laser gyroscopes" that are six orders of magnitude more sensitive than gyroscopes commercially available. In part, the increased sensitivity comes from the scaled-up size the largest of these gyroscopes encloses an area of 834 square meters meaning these instruments are no longer compatible with navigation applications. In addition, a very involved series of corrections must be made when using these instruments to account for a variety of factors, including the gravitational attraction of the moon. According to the researchers, however, the progress in these devices has made possible entirely new applications in geodesy, geophysics, seismology, and testing theories in fundamental physics such as the effects of general relativity.

Ring laser gyroscopes rely on laser beams propagating in opposite directions along the same closed loop or "ring." The beams interfere with one another forming a stable pattern, but that pattern shifts in direct proportion to the rotation rate of the whole laser-ring system (called the "Sagnac effect"). Large ring laser gyroscopes are attached to the Earth's crust so that a shift in that pattern (seen as an observed beat note in an actively lasing device) is directly proportional to the rotation rate of the Earth. Perturbations in that rotation rate capture the momentum exchange between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere, and so large ring laser gyroscopes could be used to indirectly monitor the combined effects of variations in global air and water currents, for example. They may also be used both to supplement and improve calculations currently made with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) techniques for measuring the orientation of the instantaneous rotation axis of the Earth and the length of day. Additionally, changes in the ring's orientation also shifts the beat note of the interferometer, making the large ring laser gyroscope useful for detecting tilts in the Earth's crust, which current seismometers cannot distinguish from horizontal acceleration.

Sudan: At least 20 die in shootout in border area

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) ? Sudan and the U.N. say a shootout in a disputed oil-rich border region has left at least 20 people dead, including at least one Ethiopian U.N. peacekeeper and a tribal chief traveling with them.

Khartoum's Interior Ministry in a statement carried by Sudan's media on Sunday said 21 were killed in Abyei district, including Koul Deng Majok , an ethnic Ngok Dinka from neighboring South Sudan, two peacekeepers, and 17 members of the Misseriya tribe.

It said Majok's tribe had failed to inform Misseriya tribesmen they would be visiting the area.

The UN said earlier that Majok and one peacekeeper were killed in the Saturday incident that apparently pitted Dinka farmers against Misseriya herders.

Abyei is a sticking point between Sudan and South Sudan.

Soccer referee punched by player in Utah dies

(AP) ? A 46-year-old soccer referee who was punched by a teenage player during a game and later slipped into a coma has died, police said.

Ricardo Portillo of Salt Lake City passed away at the hospital, where he was being treated following the assault last weekend, Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said Saturday night.

Police have accused a 17-year-old player in a recreational soccer league of punching Portillo after the man called a foul on him and issued him a yellow card.

"The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in the face as a result of the call," Hoyal said in a press release.

The teen, whose name hasn't been released because of his age, has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault.

Hoyal said authorities will consider additional charges since Portillo has died.

He said an autopsy is planned. No cause of death was released.

Portillo suffered swelling in his brain and had been listed in critical condition, Dr. Shawn Smith said Thursday at the Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray.

The victim's family, which publicly spoke of Portillo's plight this past week, has asked for privacy, Hoyal said.

Johana Portillo, 26, said last week that she wasn't at the April 27 game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville, but she said she's been told by witnesses and detectives that the player hit her father in the side of the head.

"When he was writing down his notes, he just came out of nowhere and punched him," she said.

Accounts from a police report, Portillo's daughter and others further detail what occurred.

The teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Ricardo Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score a goal. In soccer, a yellow card is given as a warning to a player for an egregious violation of the rules. Two yellow cards lead to a red card and expulsion from the game.

The teenager, quite a bit heavier than Portillo, began arguing with the referee, then unleashed a punch to his face. Portillo seemed fine at first, then asked to be held because he felt dizzy. He sat down and started vomiting blood, triggering his friend to call an ambulance.

When police arrived around noon, the teenager was gone and Portillo was laying on the ground in the fetal position. Through translators, Portillo told EMTs that his face and back hurt and he felt nauseous. He had no visible injuries and remained conscious. He was considered to be in fair condition when they took him to the Intermountain Medical Center.

But when Portillo arrived to the hospital, he slipped into a coma with swelling in his brain. Johana Portillo called detectives to let them know his condition had worsened.

That's when detectives intensified their search for the goalie. By Saturday evening, the teenager's father agreed to bring him down to speak with police.

Portillo's family said he had been attacked before, and Johanna Portillo said she and her sisters begged their father to stop refereeing because of the risk from angry players, but he continued because he loved soccer.

"It was his passion," she said. "We could not tell him no."

Giant rubber duck makes splash in Hong Kong harbor

HONG KONG (AP) ? A six-story-high rubber duck is making a big splash in Hong Kong.

Crowds watched the inflatable duck being pulled by tugboat across Victoria Harbor in front of Hong Kong's signature skyscraper skyline.

Tourist Zhang Wenjin from Shanghai says it's a big surprise. "This is huge. My daughter liked it when she saw it just now. Because kids like cute stuff."

Yu Kwan Yee of Hong Kong was part of the crowd. "The duckie is swimming," the 2 ?-year-old said.

Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman created the bright-yellow duck, and it was built of PVC material in New Zealand by a company specializing in large sails.

Hofman was on hand as the duck arrived and said it later had to be deflated because high winds and waves created a "big challenge."

The duck has been transported around the world since 2007, bringing a message of peace and harmony. It has previously been to Osaka, Japan, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Auckland, New Zealand, and Amsterdam.

It will be anchored at a Hong Kong terminal for display until June.

Shanghai auto show: where you, too, can buy a machine-gun ready pickup

A Chinese company's trucks were a hit among Libyan rebels, and it's now seeking inroads to the lucrative insurgent market.?'The car really proved its launch strength,' wrote one Libyan rebel.

By Peter Ford,?Staff Writer / April 26, 2013

Libyan rebels riding at the back of a pickup truck retreat east towards Benghazi from Ajdabiya, Libya, in April 2011. When the Shanghai auto show opened a week ago, ZX Auto, proudly displayed on its stand a version of its trucks that were a hit among Libyan rebels.

Ever fancied owning your own ?technical? ? the sort of pickup truck fitted with a heavy machine gun that rebels careering around the streets from Somalia to Libya have made notorious? Come to the Shanghai Auto Show and a Chinese automaker will sell you one.

When the show opened a week ago, Zhongxing Auto proudly displayed on its stand a version of its Grand Tiger pickup with an unusual accessory ? a four-legged steel frame fixed to the cargo bed, ready for the weapon of your choice.

Once upon a time, irregular forces had to do their own welding to turn Toyotas and other pickups into mobile platforms for rocket launchers or machine guns. Now the small Chinese auto company, based in the eastern province of Hebei, takes the trouble out of such transformations for you.

Zhongxing Auto, known as ZX Auto, seems a little conflicted, though, about its new model. The vehicle is clearly designed for people going to war, but the pickup on display at the opening of the auto show was emblazoned with the slogan ?Resist war, love peace!? In Arabic?

That is because the idea for the ready-made rampage wagon came from Libya. ZX had sold thousands of its Grand Tigers to Libya during Colonel Muammar Qaddafi?s rule, and as rebel forces took over government car pools during the civil war they came into possession of the Chinese-made trucks.

It didn?t take them long to fit them out with rocket launchers and machine guns, and TV news footage carried images of ZX pickups around the world.

?The car really proved its launch strength, engine strength ? and stability,? wrote one Libyan rebel, Saad Sati, in an account published on the?chinacartimes.com?website. ?It acted as a catalyst in the process of the Libyan revolution ? and gave the rebels the upper hand.?

ZX was pleased with the publicity. If World War II shot the Jeep to international prominence, and the Gulf War made the Hummer a must-have for a certain sort of driver, the Libyan civil war might do the same sort of thing for the Grand Tiger, the firm hoped.

?Models will stand out after the baptism of war that prove reliable, durable, and easy to maintain,? the company says coyly on its website. ?The Libyan civil war could really help build a name for the Zhongxing pickups.?

Heaven forbid, though, that anyone should think the appearance of the ZX technical on the company?s Shanghai Auto Show stand might suggest that the company is seeking new strife-torn markets.

?All the cars we design are for civilian use,? insisted Lin Jing, a ZX sales department employee, in a telephone interview from the auto show. ?If Libyans used them as vehicles of war that has nothing to do with us.?

Why had the company installed the machine gun stand, then? Ms. Lin?s answer was unconvincing. ?So that when people saw it they would think of the Libyan war which brought such disasters,? she said.

Eh?

There are no signs yet that Syrian rebels have done the same sort of thing as their Libyan forbears did to their Grand Tigers; ZX has sold less than 500 of the vehicles to Syria, according to Lin.

But if they want more, ready for action, they know where to come.

DARPA wants your ideas for a mobile ad hoc network, no internet please

DARPA wants your ideas for a mobile ad hoc network, internet not required

Creating a mobile ad hoc network is tricky when rounding people up for a game or two, let alone when linking thousands of soldiers whose lives are at stake. DARPA has had enough trouble getting such large-scale networks off the ground that it just put out an official request for solutions. The agency wants ad hoc technology that grows both elegantly and automatically, and it's prepared to ditch legacies like internet-based networking to get there -- in fact, it would rather not rely on IP technology when 20 years of research in that area hasn't panned out. Anyone sitting on a brilliant solution has until May 24th to submit an abstract for consideration ahead of an August 7th symposium. We hope at least a few people answer the call, if just for the possibilities that breakthroughs spill over to civilian life -- DARPA helped build the networking we're using right now, after all.
