According to the Japanese Defense Ministry, North Korea has fired a short-range missile today into the Sea of Japan. Officials believed it to be part of a regular exercise.
“North Korea fired a short-range missile in what appeared to be part of a military drill,” a Japanese Defense Ministry official was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency.
A South Korean defense spokesman said such tests are routine.
“We don’t deny that North Korea fired a missile,” South Korean Army Colonel Ha Doo-chul, told Yonhap. “If it did, we regard it as a routine exercise.”
The test comes at the time when North Korea is inviting inspectors in to discuss its nuclear programs.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced yesterday that Simplicity Inc. is recalling nearly one million baby cribs after two infant deaths have been linked to a design failure.
Simplicity Inc. supplies cribs to large American big-box retailers such as Wal-Mart Inc., and several other giant retailers including Target Corp. and Big Lots Inc.
A dangerous gap can be created if the drop-side of the crib has been installed upside-down, and thus becomes detached. That space can cause infants to be suffocated.
Parents are being urged by the company to check their Simplicity cribs to make sure the drop-side was installed correctly and is not a safety hazard. The cribs being recalled have these model numbers: 4600, 4605, 4705, 5000, 8000, 8324, 8800, 8740, 8910, 8994, 8050, 8750, 8760 and 8996.
The affected cribs cost between US$100 and $300, and were sold between January of 1998 through May of 2007.
Two separate deaths have been reported because the drop-side was installed upside down. Fifty-five non-fatal entrapment cases have been reported. And, the CPSC is now investigating a third infant death involving a newer-style crib.
Simplicity Inc. says the faulty cribs were made in China. However, according to CPSC, the recall is about the design flaws that the U.S. manufacturers designed into the product, not a made-in-China problem.

Water therapy has been used for healing, relaxation, pain management, and other medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Water therapy, also referred to as hydrotherapy, has been used to treat diseases and improve wound healing, circulation, digestion, and the immune system. Water therapy also has a soothing effect and calms the lungs, heart, stomach, and endocrine system by stimulating nerve reflexes on the spinal cord. Water therapy equipment is still in wide use today and we carry the most modern, scientifically tested and proven water therapy equipment on the market.
The use of water therapy can be traced all the way back to ancient China, Japan, India, Rome, Greece, the Middle East, and the Americas. There are even references to water therapy in the Old Testament of the Bible. By the 17th century, ‘taking the waters’ at hot springs and spas became popular across Europe and eventually spread to the United States. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that modern relaxation water therapy evolved in Europe with the development of spas for “water cure” ailments, ranging from anxiety to pneumonia to back pain. A Dominican monk by the name of Father Sebastian Kneipp is credited with raising public awareness of the beneficial effects of hydrotherapy. In 1889 his book, My Water Cure, was published and subsequently translated into many languages, spreading the benefits of hydrotherapy throughout Europe. His methods were later adopted by Benedict Lust, who migrated from Germany to the United States in 1896. Lust established an American school of naturopathic medicine and claimed he had cured himself of tuberculosis with Father Kneipp’s methods. He therefore made hydrotherapy a major component of naturopathic medicine. The recuperative and healing properties of hydrotherapy are commonly known today and the practice is widely used.

Modern water therapy is broadly defined as the external application of water in any form or temperature – hot, cold, steam, liquid, ice – for healing and therapeutic purposes. Healing water therapy may include immersion in a whirlpool or a Jacuzzi, the use of water jets, douches, or the application of wet towels to the skin. Such therapies have been used for the relief of various diseases and injuries as well as for stimulating a general sense of well-being. There are other therapies that include the use of water as part of a technique such as enemas, nasal irrigation, physical therapy in pools, nebulizers, humidifiers, drinking mineral water, aquatic yoga, aquatic massage, as well as aromatherapy baths.
Current research has proven that hydrotherapy can be highly beneficial and curative for a myriad of conditions. For patients who have undergone abdominal surgery, the use of a whirlpool can provide water therapy for pain management and alleviation. Whirlpool therapy can also enhance relaxation, promote pain relief, and assist in wound healing. Whirlpool therapy has also been recommended to aid venous circulation and alleviate symptoms for patients with varicose veins. Whirlpool therapy is also significantly beneficial for arthritis sufferers. Such patients have shown significant improvement in joint tenderness and in knee range of movement after whirlpool therapy. Hydrotherapy has also been recently shown to play a curative role in asthma treatment. Researchers discovered that decreased function of the adrenocortical glands, evidenced by low serum cortisol levels, improved after therapy. This was accompanied by the reduction in the dosage of glucocorticoids needed to control asthma attacks.

The New South Wales government will make it compulsory for schools to play Advance Australia Fair, Australia’s national anthem before class this year.
Teachers at primary schools in NSW will also be required to introduce “Australian values” lessons from the beginning of this school year. The lessons are expected to teach children “what it means to be Australian” and include topics such as family values, community harmony, national heritage, national identity, cultural differences and Australian history.
The Three Rs will also be extended to five and include the topics of respect and responsibility. The NSW government claims that it needs to ensure people respect authority within the community.
Adults will not escape the government’s plans to foster respect for authority with the government announcing it plans to create a new law enforcement package with new laws to make it easier for police to crack down on anti-social behaviour.
Fines and penalties for a range of offences such as damaging public property, including transport and housing, will also be reviewed.

In the 18 months since Andrea Muizelaar was crowned winner of the reality TV series Canada’s Next Top Model, her life has been a complete whirlwind. From working in a dollar store in her hometown of Whitby, Ontario, to modeling haute couture in Toronto, she had reached her dream of becoming a true Top Model.
But at what cost? Unknown to casual television viewers, Muizelaar had been enveloped in the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, which inevitably became too much for her to bear. She gave up modeling and moved back to Whitby, where she sought treatment for her disorder, re-entered college, and now works at a bank. Where is she now? Happy and healthy, she says.
Recently Andrea Muizelaar sat down with Wikinews reporter Mike Halterman in a candid interview that stretched to nearly two hours, as she told all about her hopes and aspirations, her battle with anorexia, and just what really happened on Canada’s Next Top Model.

A former accountant for Oral Roberts University (ORU) has filed a lawsuit against ORU and its Board of Regents claiming he was told by Richard Roberts and his wife Lindsay to “cook the books”, hiding financial wrongdoing from authorities and the public. Trent Huddleston, the accountant, has filed suit against the school and the Robertses claiming he “was improperly and unlawfully directed to perform functions and duties in violation of state and federal law in an effort by the defendants to ‘cook the books’ and hide from the appropriate authorities and the public the continued wrongdoing, improper and illegal conduct of the defendants, and in particular, of Richard and Lindsay Roberts.”
Huddleston said that nearly $123,000 in remodeling fees for their home was paid by Oral Roberts University and Oral Roberts Ministries. In addition the lawsuit alleges $4,000 was spent on a pool table for the Robertses. Previously the Roberts were accused of illegal political and financial wrongdoing, which forced the president to step down from his positison.
Last week at a meeting called by Oral Roberts, founder of the University and former faith healer, a majority of the faculty voted against allowing Richard to serve as president.
An ORU spokesman declined to comment on latest lawsuit and the faculty meeting.
In other news, Tulsa World released emails between Richard and his political adviser and sister-in-law, Stephanie Cantees. The emails given by an anonymous source, show the two plan to gain political influence using ORU students.
