Father Says Shot Pakistan Girl "Will Rise Again"
Tears of joy for Malala's father as he sees his daughter recovering in a British hospital. Full Story: The father of the Pakistan girl shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education, said on Friday his daughter was strong and would "rise again". Fifteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai has been receiving specialist treatment in the British city of Birmingham following the October 9 attack. Her father, Ziauddin Yousufzai, and other family members flew to Britain on Thursday to help their daughter's recovery. Overwhelmed by emotion, Ziauddin recalls thinking he was going to have to bury his daughter. [Ziauddin Yousufzai, Malala's Father]: "A stage came in Peshawar when - God forbid - that I told my brother-in-law that you should make preparations for her funeral, but thanks to God." Malala's father recounts a joyful family reunion. [Ziauddin Yousufzai, Malala's Father]: "I love her and, of course, this morning, last night when we met her there were tears in our eyes because of happiness. Out of happiness. For some time we all cried a little bit and then she asked her mother, 'How are the two other girls?' Shazia and Kainat. She enquired about their health. And she told me on the phone, 'Please bring me my books of Class Nine and I will attend my examination in Swat.' The board examination." Malala began standing up to the Pakistani Taliban when she was just 11, after militants overran the Swat Valley where she lives.She has become a powerful symbol of resistance to the radical ...

China Focus - Gordon Chang on China's Impossible Economic Figures
China's GDP numbers for Q3 came out last week. At 7.4% growth, it was lower than the government's target growth rate, but other economic numbers%mdashlike exports and industrial output%mdashseemed strong. Some analysts are saying China's economy may have turned the corner. But Gordon Chang says that if China's economy is really getting back on track, why don't the other numbers add up?

Hurricane Sandy Set To Become A "Frankenstorm"
Hurricane Sandy set to become a "Frankenstorm" before striking New England around Halloween... Full Story: Hurricane Sandy continues its destructive path across the Caribbean. At least 21 people have already been killed in Haiti, Jamaica and Cuba, with the Bahamas next in line. Downed power lines, damaged homes and ruined crops are the norm. In Haiti tens of thousands still living in tent camps following the 2010 earthquake are especially vulnerable. Early next week the slow moving storm is expected to hit the northeastern United States. The size of the hurricane is already huge, and expected to grow. It is also likely to merge with a winter storm before striking the highly populated state of New England. The timing - just around Halloween - has led the US National Weather Service to label the hurricane "Frankenstorm". The warnings are reviving memories of the 1991 "perfect storm" that killed 13 people and caused $200 million worth of damage to the northeastern United States.

Panda Cub Fu Hu Goes Home To China
Giant panda cub Fu Hu was born two years ago at the Vienna Zoo. Now he is being prepared for a journey to his ancestral home of China, in just a few weeks. To get him used to his travel box, he gets carrots and sweet potatoes every time he explores the crate. According to panda keeper Renate Haider, it is a stress free process. [Renate Haider, Panda Keeper]: "Today was not the first time this was done - you can see he is willingly entering the box because we have been training this with him for weeks. I think he enjoys it, because he always co-operates, and it is great to see that this is fun for him and that there is no stress involved. That is our utmost concern." Fu Hu is the second cub born to a pair of giant pandas loaned to the Vienna Zoo nine years ago. Any cubs born to loaned panda parents must be taken to China when they turn two. [Renate Haider, Panda Keeper]: "Whatever he could learn here, he did. He has been taught everything he needs by his mother, and now it%acutes time for him to move out. He is beginning to grow bigger than his mother, and in the wild they also become independent at two years of age, and sometimes they are even banished by the mother." He will travel with a team of Austrian panda keepers to help him settle into his natural habitat. The name Fu Hu means "Lucky Tiger" in English, and while this panda cub is not a tiger he certainly is lucky. Hu Fu is one of only about 1600 pandas alive in the world today.

China to Resume Nuclear Power Expansion

China to Resume Nuclear Power Expansion
Chinese authorities announced on Wednesday the country will resume nuclear power plant construction, breaking a self-imposed moratorium. The partial meltdown at Japan's Fukushima reactors prompted Chinese authorities to halt plans to expand nuclear energy production. A year later, the same authorities feel they are ready to restart, but have dialed down the expansion plans. Through a State Council issued white paper, the Chinese regime says it is now looking to produce 40 gigawatts of nuclear power by 2015. That's less than the original goal of 50 gigawatts set prior to last year. The country currently has the capacity to produce 12.5 gigawatts through 15 nuclear power generating units. The moratorium after the Fukushima disaster stopped the construction of another 26 units. Wednesday's whitepaper sought to ease safety concerns over China's nuclear ambitions. Even prior to Japan's nuclear disaster, safety measures and personnel skills were already thought to be inadequate to support the country's nuclear development ambitions. Former researcher at the nuclear security center of China's State Environmental Protection Administration, Professor Li Xutong, says those concerns are still there. [Professor Li Xutong, Former Nuclear Researcher, SEPA] "Years of research have found that man-made reasons account for 80% of nuclear incidents. Another 80% of that comes from organizational issues, like management and supervision. We all know that under the Chinese regime, it's hard to ...

Controversial Nexen Takeover Plan Lacks China-Canada Talks
It's one of Canada's biggest and most important energy firms, and that's why many are leery over the potential takeover of Nexen, Inc., by a Chinese state-owned oil company. The proposed 15 billion US dollar bid would see the China National Offshore Oil Corporation take control of a firm with major stakes in the international energy markets, and a significant player in western Canada's economy. Despite concerns, Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has now made clear that he now knows of direct engagement between the Canadian government and Chinese authorities over the proposed deal. Some have accused Canadian critics of the plan of promoting "resource nationalism", but others counter that highly-subsidized Chinese state-owned corporations should not be allowed to muscle into the private marketplace, especially overseas.

Chinese Regime Boosting Telecom Network Control for Party Congress
China's top IT and telecommunications website reported this week that Chinese telecom networks will be under stricter security during the Communist Party's 18th Party Congress, slated to take place on November 8th. According to China IDC Circle, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has ordered staff around the country to implement a plan of network blockade. It'll be effective from November 7th until the end of the Congress. The plan does not mean that authorities are shutting down telecom networks. Rather, Chinese authorities are stepping up management and supervision, to ensure there are no security breaches during the meeting. The networks to be monitored will cover international phone calls, long distance domestic calls and the internet. Although the plan is coined as one to safeguard telecom networks, not everyone is convinced. Chinese rights activist Hu Jun says he believes authorities are just trying to further stifle communication. [Hu Jun, Organizer, Human Rights Campaign in China] (male, Chinese) "It's only a few days of meeting yet you want to have this network blockade plan. What are you afraid of? Online communication is normal for citizens. What are you afraid of, who are your enemies? What is there to protect for the 18th Party Congress? The Party is always nervous and sneaky about these meetings. If you are legitimate you won't be scared of openness."

Supersonic Plane Fly New York-Tokyo in 90 mins
XCOR released pictures of the Lynx, a suborbital spacecraft that will eventually fly the New York - Tokyo connection in 90 minutes. Full story: A California based company is going toe-to-toe with Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic in the race to offer commercial space flights. It is revving up to launch a suborbital spacecraft called the Lynx, and it could be as early as next year. XCOR Aerospace has just released pictures of a mock-up of the aircraft it hopes will soon fly the New York -- Tokyo connection. They project it will make the flight in 90 minutes and will swing into outer space in the process. The supersonic ride will apparently cruise at a booming three and a half times the speed of sound. Those willing to pay the $95000-dollar ticket fare will enjoy a several-minute float in microgravity and a view of Earth from outer space. XCOR announced on Thursday they plan to begin commercial flight operations from NASA's Kennedy Space Center sometime in 2014. Eventually, XCOR plans to fly the Lynx from California as well as several other locations around the world. Test flights of the Lynx are expected to start early next year.

UN Investigators Request Syrian Assad Meeting
Bombs rain down on Maarat al-Numan, according to unverifiable social media video. Some estimates put the number of dead in the 19-month Syrian conflict so far at upwards of 30000. Now a team of United Nations investigators is hoping to visit the country to look into allegations of war crimes from both the Syrian government and rebel forces. Speaking in Switzerland on Thursday, new team member Carla del Ponte said the crimes appeared similar to those she had investigated in the former Yugoslavia. [Carla del Ponte, Chairman, UN Commission of Inquiry on Syria]: "The similarity of course is that we are handling the same crimes, crimes against humanity and war crimes for sure." Team leader Paulo Pinheiro said they have asked for a meeting with the Syrian president. [Paulo Pinheiro, Chairman, UN Commision of Inquiry on Syria]: "We think that it is important to speak with someone who is in charge and then we intend to go there without conditionality, but just to meet President Assad and to discuss the access for out commission to Syria." The UN investigators have drawn up a secret list of Syrian individuals and units suspected of committing crimes including murder and torture, which they say could pave the way for future prosecution.

Clark Kent (Superman) Quits Daily Planet
Clark Kent has left the building. Superman's alter ego has quit his job at the Daily Planet after voicing his disdain for the salacious direction the newspaper is headed. Social Marketing and Events Director at Midtown Comics, Thor Parker, says he was basically fed up. [Thor Parker, Social Marketing and Events Director, Midtown Comics]: "It's more about selling ads and getting entertainment and just trying to trick people into reading the paper when he really wants there to be some real journalism and some real reporting done." While the news is somewhat shocking to some, one reader welcomes the change. [Corey Hernandez, Comic Book Fan]: "It's not a bad idea, I mean he's been working there for how long now? New things are good for the soul." Parker says while the story line might be surprising, it is not far-fetched. [Thor Parker, Social Marketing and Events Director, Midtown Comics]: "Comics do a great job of reflecting what's going on in our world and right now the news industry is going through a lot of changes and print in general and comics are a part of that." What's next for Kent is unknown, but he's going to have to pay his bills somehow. [Thor Parker, Social Marketing and Events Director, Midtown Comics]: "Even though he's Superman and that's a full-time job, for some reason he needs to have a regular day job too."

More Changes Announced for People's Liberation Army
China's Defense Ministry has announced more changes to the People's Liberation Army. Its new chief of staff is Fang Fenghui, a man promoted by Chinese leader Hu Jintao in 2010 to full General. Fang's appointment means he'll likely enter the Central Military Commission. It's a 12-member group led by Hu Jintao and oversees the PLA. Other changes announced today include the head of logistics, which will now be Zhao Keshi. Zhang Youxia, an ally of upcoming leader Xi Jinping, will take over as the chief of armament. Zhang Yang, another man with close ties with Hu Jintao, will be the director of the political department. The three men could also gain a seat in the Central Military Commission. The appointments signal the power shift that's resulted from the jostle between Hu Jintao's allies and the faction belonging to former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, and confirm earlier unofficial reports that Hu and Xi are taking steps to install their allies in the PLA.
