North Korea’s Military To Share Power With Kim’s Heir – [Reuters]

North Korea will shift to collective rule from a strongman dictatorship after last week’s death of Kim Jong-il, although his untested young son will be at the head of the ruling coterie, a source with close ties to Pyongyang and Beijing said.

The source added that the military, which is trying to develop a nuclear arsenal, has pledged allegiance to the untested Kim Jong-un, who takes over the family dynasty that has ruled North Korea since it was founded after World War Two.

The Grand-Prize Winner and Nature Winner from National Geographic’s 2011 Photo Contest is Shikhei Goh’s “Splashing”:

Arrows of rain seem to pelt a dragonfly in Indonesia’s Riau Islands in Shikhei Goh’s winning image, “Splashing.”

A sudden rainstorm left Goh with a tough decision: Get his camera wet, or take advantage of the “superb lighting,” he wrote with his submission to the 2011 National Geographic Photography Contest.

He took the picture, resulting in a “very striking macrophotography image that rose to the top of the nature category for me because of its originality, beautiful light, rare action in a close-up image, as well as its technical perfection,” said Tim Laman, one of three National Geographic magazine photographers who judged the contest.

“You can almost feel the dragonfly’s experience of bracing itself against the weather,” said judge Amy Toensing. “When I look at it, I want to say, Hold on tight little buddy!”
