SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea signaled Wednesday it remains open to suspending uranium enrichment in exchange for U.S. food aid, a deal that appeared imminent before leader Kim Jong Il died last month. The North complained that the United States had "drastically" changed the amount and kind of aid it would send, but said officials would wait and "see if the United States has a willingness to establish confidence" with North Korea - which observers saw as Pyongyang's precondition for making the food-for-uranium-suspension deal happen.
FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Bill Wilson, President of Americans for Limited Government, issued the following statement regarding a study in the news today that quantifies the size of a tobacco black market should the Food and Drug Administration decide to ban menthol cigarettes.

Efforts to engage operational managers more in the hiring process will undoubtedly lead to better and faster hiring decisions. In addition, it makes sense to eliminate mandatory KSAs for the initial application for a federal job. AFGE is reviewing the decision about moving to category rating instead of "rule of three." While OPM has assured us that category rating is a better tool for ensuring veterans preference than the rule of three, we will monitor this to ensure that there are no unintended consequences. We are disappointed, however, that the President has not used the memorandum to restrict the use of the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP). Numerous agencies...
In March 2009, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The objectives of the new standards are to improve the usefulness and comparability of fund balance information, by reporting fund balance in more intuitive and meaningful components and clarifying the definitions of the types of governmental funds. GASB and many practitioners believe that the current fund balance classifications -- reserved fund balance, unreserved-designated fund balance and unreserved-undesignated fund balance -- are problematic because the standards defining them are vague, leading to considerable variation in how governments report fund balance and divergence from the intent of the standards.
