China premier: Korean tensions must be defused

SEOGWIPO, South Korea — China's premier said Sunday that tensions over the sinking of a South Korean warship urgently need to be defused, but did not join other key nations in blaming longtime ally North Korea and gave no indication he would support U.N. sanctions.

Premier Wen Jiabao's comments came at the end of a weekend summit in South Korea where he was closely watched for signs that Beijing would get tougher on the North, which is accused of sinking the naval ship Cheonan with a torpedo two months ago, killing 46 sailors.

North Korea has repeatedly denied attacking the ship, and on Sunday tens of thousands of people packed the main square in Pyongyang, the nation's capital, for a rally condemning South Korea and the U.S. The isolated North often organizes such events during times of tense relations with foreign countries.

Clapping and pumping their fists in the air, the protesters shouted anti-South Korean slogans, held signs and carried a huge portrait of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, according to video footage from APTN in North Korea.

"Because of the South Korean war-loving, mad puppets and American invaders, the North and South relationship is being driven to a catastrophe," Choi Yong Rim, secretary of the North Korean Workers Party in Pyongyang, told the crowd.

Wen joined the leaders of South Korea and Japan at the two-day summit, which was to focus on economic issues but was overshadowed by the sinking of the Cheonan, one of the South's worst military losses since the Korean War in the 1950s.

At a closing news conference, Wen gave no clear indication that Beijing was ready to endorse South Korea's plans to bring North Korea before the U.N. Security Council for sanctions or condemnation. China's backing would be key because it wields veto power at the Security Council as a permanent member.

Gulf Clean Up Workers Health Threatened

Oil Spill Workers on Dourchon Beach, Louisiana

The Center is interested in putting people to work in the Gulf to assist in cleaning the beaches and marshes, but we want to assure that anyone working with us will be protected from exposures that could threaten their health.The Obama administration is concerned about potential health and safety problems posed by the oil spill, particularly health threats to oil clean up workers. The Labor Department has experessed concerns about its inability to force BP to respond to them. An assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health raised concerns the day before seven oil spill workers on boats off the coast of Louisiana were hospitalized after they experienced nausea, dizziness and headaches. A memo states:


"The organizational systems that BP currently has in place, particularly those related to worker safety and health training, protective equipment, and site monitoring, are not adequate for the current situation or the projected increase in cleanup operations...these are not isolated problems. They appear to be indicative of a general systemic failure on BP's part, to ensure the safety and health of those responding to this disaster. BP has also not been forthcoming with basic, but critical, safety and health information on injuries and exposures."The Department of Labor is also coming under fire for not being aggressive enough in monitoring BP or the contractors who are providing oil spill cleanup training.The OSHA memo raised several significant concerns, including:


- Lack of sufficient control over work sites. May 20: the agency found more than 800 workers at one of the Biloxi, Miss., sites without the required training.- Difficulty in obtaining adequate and timely data from BP on injuries and illness, chemical sampling, monitoring data and training materials.- Concerns that BP's manager of workplace safety "does not appear to operate with the full support of the company, nor does he seem to have the authority necessary for the job which he has been tasked."The Labor Department memo suggest that: BP place someone in this position who has the authority and the ability to make changes expediently in order to address the safety and health of cleanup workers."


President Obama Inpsect Oil BallsIt is being reported that most workers are getting only the minimum hazardous-material training required, which is four hours. That's because OSHA has chosen to apply training standards that date back to soon after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska. While experts agree that the level of exposure is lower than federal safety standards, they say that what little data that has been released provides more questions than answers.

U.S. government sues operator of pirate comics website

by Kevin Melrose

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday filed a lawsuit against Gregory Steven Hart, who operated HTMLcomics and five similar pirate websites.

The complaint asks for a federal judge to order Hart to forfeit the domain names of the sites -- among them, HTMLcomics.com, ComicBooksFree.com and PlayboyMonthly.com -- which the government says were used to commit criminal copyright infringement.

HTMLcomics hosted more than 100,000 copyrighted titles, from Batman and The Amazing Spider-Man to Hellboy and Dilbert. Hart had asserted that because the comics couldn't be downloaded, the website was legal and "like a lending library." He reportedly told his attorney the site received up to 500,000 hits a day.

In April the FBI searched Hart's home in Tampa, Florida, seizing records, hard drives, computers and DVDs containing copyrighted images. The raid followed an investigation spurred by a consortium of publishers and copyright owners, including Marvel, DC Comics, Dark Horse, Bongo Comics, Archie Comics, Conan Properties International, Mirage Studios and United Media.

Hart claimed as recently as December that he had spoken with Marvel representatives, and "all is good." "Our approach is not distribution," he wrote on a comics forum, "hence the reason we've been around for over a year, and will be around for a long time to come. Google is using our site as a reference of how to create an online library, and not violate copyright laws."

However, according to the lawsuit, Marvel and other companies sent letters to Hart demanding that he remove their publications from the site. Curiously, Hart reportedly said that if no publisher agreed to a revenue-sharing arrangement, he would continue to operate the site without charging users.

At the time of the HTMLcomics shutdown, Hart had more than 6 million pages from some 5,700 separate series.

L.A. Lakers Eliminate Phoenix Suns, 111-103

Just like they did with the Utah Jazz, my Los Angeles Lakers took on the Suns and defeated them on the Suns’ homecourt. With the Suns faded out of the picture (and their bullshit Zone defense backfiring), the Lakers now advance to the NBA Finals where they will play a virtual historic rematch against the Boston Helltics, err…excuse me, Celtics for the trophy.

With the Lakers having thunderous momentum leading into Game 6 following their nail-biting Game 5 win, Kobe and Ron Artest took control of the game in all four quarters of play. While the Suns were able to rally in 16-2 run after an (obviously intentional) flagrant foul by Sasha Vujacic to Goran Dragic, the Suns cut the 17-point lead down to five but failed to close the deal because of ONE man: Kobe Bryant.

With Kobe at the helm, he took THREE super-tough shots in the remaining two minutes against excellent Phoenix defense and banked every single one causing Phoenix to resort to fouling at the end of the 4th quarter. With no other Hail Mary play’s left, Phoenix folds and goes home a bunch of OLD and decrepit LOSERS. Now onto Boston! GO LAKERS!!!!
Oh, and just to add insult to injury to all you Phoenix fans, here’s the video of Ron Artest’s game-winning shot at the end of Game 5 that sealed the Suns’ doom.

Phillies Roy Halladay Perfect Game: 2nd In MLB This Season

By Shannon Bell

It’s been a busy month in Major League Baseball….for perfect games. Roy Halladay’s perfect game was only the 20th perfect game in history but ironically the 2nd this month. Halladay bested the Florida Marlins 1-0 in route to MLB history.




Oakland’s Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game earlier this month against Tampa Bay and now with Roy Halladay’s perfect game it’s the first time that two have been pitched in the same season in the modern era. Braden was and is a virtual unknown in the game. Roy Halladay is a former Cy Young Award winner in the American League.



Halladay is a 33 year old hard throwing right hander who spent the first 11 years of his career in the AL with the Toronto Blue Jays where he won the 2003 Cy Young Award. Halladay was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies after the 2009 season.



Halladay, usually a strikeout pitcher, was no different tonight against Florida. He struck out 11 of the 27 straight that he sat down. The game was played in South Florida but he won over the 25,000 plus fans who cheered him on as they recognized they were witnessing history.



An interesting fact about Halladay is that in his 2nd career start in 1998 he had a near no hitter broken up with two outs in the 9th inning. He went on to win the game for his first career win. There would be no late inning heroics for the Marlins today though as Roy Halladay’s perfect game was completed.
