China Erects Fence Along N. Korea Border Oct 16 8:43 AM US/Eastern By NG HAN GUAN Associated Press Writer HUSHAN, China China has been building a massive barbed wire and concrete fence along parts of its border with North Korea in the most visible sign of Beijing's strained ties with its once-cozy communist neighbor. Scores of soldiers have descended on farmland near the border-marking Yalu River to erect concrete barriers 8 to 15 feet tall and string barbed wire between them, farmers and visitors to the area said. Last week, they reached Hushan, a collection of villages 12 miles inland from the border port of Dandong. "About 100 People's Liberation Army soldiers in camouflage started building the fence four days ago and finished it yesterday," said a farmer, who only gave his surname, Ai. "I assume it was built to prevent smuggling and illegal crossing." Though the fence-building appears to have picked up in the days following North Korea's claimed nuclear test last week, experts said the project was approved in 2003. Experts and a local Hushan official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the project, said the military was in charge of the building. A Defense Ministry spokesman, Ye Xing, declined comment, saying he was not authorized to release information on border security. The fence marks a noticeable change in China's approach to North Korea. In the decades following their shared fight against U.S.-led U.N. forces in the Korean War, China left their border lightly guarded, deploying most of its forces in the northeast toward its enemy, the Soviet Union. But the border became a security concern for Beijing in the past decade, as North Korea's economy collapsed and social order crumbled in some places. Tens of thousands of refugees began trickling across the border into northeast China, fording the Yalu and Tumen rivers or walking across the ice in winter. Professor Kim Woo-jun, of the Institute of East and West Studies in Seoul, said China built wire fences on major defection routes along the Tumen River in a project that began in 2003, and since September this year, China has been building wire fences along the Yalu River. "The move is mainly aimed at North Korean defectors," Kim said. "As the U.N. sanctions are enforced ... the number of defectors are likely to increase as the regime can't take care of its people. ... I think the wire fence work will likely go on to control this." But he said he also believes that Beijing wants to firmly mark its border with the North along the two rivers. Kim said China and the North drew their border in a secret treaty. That treaty wasn't reported to the United Nations and therefore does not apply to a third country, such as South Korea. China is concerned that South Korea may claim a different border after absorbing or unifying with the North. Reporters who visited the border area in the past week saw about 1,600 feet of newly erected barbed wire fence north of Dandong, mainly along river banks and occasionally broken up by mountain areas or military guard posts. A duck farmer in Hushan, who would only give his surname Han, said that soldiers began putting up the fence near his farm on Oct. 9 _ the same day that North Korea claims to have carried out an underground nuclear test.

Happy B-Day Bobby ! Isn't he 59? See ya in Buffalo Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

I was stuck at a wedding and missed the game (forgot to set the PVR) Bummer. Watching all the highlights I can find though Just think of all those years of Sundin wasted by the coaching style of Pat Quinn. I'm hoping this will be a carreer year for Mats. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

Looks like there will be a decision around 6pm whether they'll be allowed to play or not. Here are some posts that just went up: tafkaltlg Posted: 10/13/06 4:31PM ET news update---just heard that the buffalo police chief shut us down... no 'mass gatherings' are being allowed. They say its not safe for anyone to be on the roads... I'll post if I hear anything else.. Member since: [ignore user] [report to moderator] IP Address: logged TurdMcFurden Posted: 10/13/06 4:31PM ET ok just called, said the show will take place if the city lifts the driving ban, press conference on at 6pm with mayor, county exec will make that call.

If you go ... go with supplies!! Talked to Bob just now and he says NOTHIING is open in downtown Buffalo. There's no food, restaurants, etc. at this point. Pick up lots of beers at duty free and you'll be received as a great saviour and god Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

i can't find any info on whether the show is cancelled. Some of I-90 is open again ... but look what's coming: http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/outdoors/map/USNY0181?name=index_large_animated&from=LAPmaps&day=1

I just got a message from Bob (Passedoutguy) and he's completely in the dark regarding whether the show is on or not. Says it's crazy the amount of snow there.

Ollie, we know that Shania will wear ANY pro jersey in any city she's in ... what about Phil Collins? Seen lots of pics with him with hockey jerseys on ... has he donned a Sens one yet? Did you say that you could, or couldn't, make it to TMB in Toronto in December? Try to do it if you can and we can party. Cheers, Kevin

never said you were ... just reminding folks that the Sens haven't made it to the Cup since LONG before '67 ... and i thought i read somewhere that they started out as a Women's Team

LOL ... and the Sens aren't one of them . Man, Sens fans really have issues with Toronto ... you gotta let some of it go, for your own health! btw - I was born and raised a Habs fan. Love 'em to death. I've still seen more games at the old Forum than at MLG and ACC. Going to the Corel just isn't as fun when the cab costs $40 each way!

Yup ... here's some details on hat tricks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat_trick The term natural hat trick refers to when a player scores three goals consecutively in a single game. The goals do not have to happen in the same period. A player accomplishes a Gordie Howe hat trick by scoring a goal, getting an assist, and winning a fight, all in the same game. Former Blackhawk Bill Mosienko holds the NHL record for scoring the quickest hat trick. He scored 3 goals in 21 seconds against the Rangers on March 23, 1952. Mario Lemieux once accomplished what was unofficially referred to as a "Mario Lemieux hat trick" in 1993, by receiving radiation treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma the day of the game, and then scoring a goal and an assist that night against the Philadelphia Flyers. He has also recorded a "5-Goal Hat Trick" or the "Ultimate Hat Trick", in which he scored in all five possible game situations in one game. He scored on a Powerplay, shorthanded, even strength, penalty shot and an empty net goal. Lemieux is the only player to have done this in NHL history.

OK, maybe not bragging, but a lame, unprovoked slam on the Leafs when the Sens get shutout in the same night? That's what gives some teams' fans a bad reputation (and many Leaf fans are like that ... i know!) I think the Sens should have concerns for sure. Like i said before, i think that Muckler is past due and should be shipped outta there for the good of the team (much like Quinn was long overdue to leave the Leafs). It should also be a do-or-die seson for Alfie, IMHO. He's like a Jim Kelly ... get close, but never finish. However, Kelly made it to the 'big game' 4 times. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

Is it? I always thought it was 3 consecutive goals by one player ... didn't matter if it was over two periods. I still don't think i'd trow my hat (if i wore one) on the ice if somebody did

Great thing for me is that i have Cheechoo and Gionta in my pool Hey, at least the Leafs got a point last night AND six goals ... what about those Sens? Big donuts on the scoreboard and standings ........ nothing to be bragging about.

Now THAT would be a War on Drugs! Kinda like the picture with the tank ... is it PROTECTING the pot, or is it getting ready to ATTACK it

WOW! Hang in there guys. Hope it doesn't hinder anyone getting to the show tonight ... or I hope they don't have to cancel it http://www.canada.com/topics/news/photogalleries/061013buffalo_storm.html

Too funny! I love the picture too:

Good luck! It doesn't say, but often there are more than one pair up for grabs I just wish they'd include some sort of skill question that would ensure that the winners would be something close to a "fan" of the performer. HOW YA FEEEELIN' ???

I just couldn't enter the contest that is on through The Hour website. The one that I won, was an internal contest at CBC for 150 staff to get in for the show.

I'm pumped ... i WON a ticket to get in There are a lot of people at the CBC who will have won tix (150) and I bet a bunch of them don't show up. I'd guess there will be extra room in the studio. Might be worth hanging out at the check-in desk on the odd chance they take more FANS! Go to the John Street entrance of the CBC at 3pm and see what they say. If anyone is up for it, pm me as i'll be down here looking for a friend to burn with pre show . later . . . Kanada Kev =8) October 12, 2006 You’ve won a ticket to see The Tragically Hip… It’s true.
