MOSCOW (AP) ? Defying a storm of domestic and international criticism, Russia moved toward finalizing a ban on Americans adopting Russian children, as Parliament's upper house voted unanimously in favor of a measure that President Vladimir Putin has indicated he will sign into law.
The bill is widely seen as the Kremlin's retaliation against an American law that calls for sanctions against Russians deemed to be human rights violators. It comes as Putin takes an increasingly confrontational attitude toward the West, brushing aside concerns about a crackdown on dissent and democratic freedoms.
Dozens of Russian children close to being adopted by American families now will almost certainly be blocked from leaving the country. The law also cuts off the main international adoption route for Russian children stuck in often dismal orphanages: Tens of thousands of Russian youngsters have been adopted in the U.S. in the past 20 years. There are about 740,000 children without parental care in Russia, according to UNICEF.
All 143 members of the Federation Council present Wednesday voted to support the bill, which has sparked criticism from both the U.S. and Russian officials, activists and artists, who say it victimizes children by depriving them of the chance to escape the squalor of orphanage life. The vote comes days after Parliament's lower house overwhelmingly approved the ban.
The U.S. State Department said Wednesday it regretted the Russian parliament's decision.
"Since 1992, American families have welcomed more than 60,000 Russian children into their homes, providing them with an opportunity to grow up in a family environment," spokesman Patrick Ventrell said in a statement from Washington. "The bill passed by Russia's parliament would prevent many children from enjoying this opportunity ...
"It is misguided to link the fate of children to unrelated political considerations," he said.
Seven people with posters protesting the bill were detained outside the Council before Wednesday's vote. "Children get frozen in the Cold War," one poster read. Some 60 people rallied in St. Petersburg, Russia's second largest city.
The bill is part of larger legislation by Putin-allied lawmakers retaliating against a recently signed U.S. law that calls for sanctions against Russians deemed to be human rights violators. Although Putin has not explicitly committed to signing the bill, he strongly defended it in a press conference last week as "a sufficient response" to the new U.S. law.
Originally Russia's lawmakers cobbled together a more or less a tit-for-tat response to the U.S. law, providing for travel sanctions and the seizure of financial assets in Russia of Americans determined to have violated the rights of Russians.
But it was expanded to include the adoption measure and call for a ban on any organizations that are engaged in political activities if they receive funding from U.S. citizens or are determined to be a threat to Russia's interests.
Russian children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov told the Interfax news agency that 46 children who were on the verge of being adopted by Americans would stay in Russia if the bill is approved ? despite court rulings in some of these cases authorizing the adoptions.
The ombudsman supported the bill, saying that foreign adoptions discourage Russians from adopting children. "A foreigner who has paid for an adoption always gets a priority compared to potential Russian adoptive parents," Astakhov was quoted as saying. "A great country like Russia cannot sell its children."
Russian law allows foreigners to adopt only if a Russian family has not expressed interest in a child being considered for adoption.
Some top government officials, including the foreign minister, have spoken flatly against the adoption law, arguing that the measure would be in violation of Russia's constitution and international obligations.
But Senator Mikhail Margelov, chairman of the Council's foreign affairs committee, referred to the bill as "a natural and a long overdue response" to the U.S. legislation. "Children must be placed in Russian families, and this is a cornerstone issue for us," he said.
Margelov said that a bilateral Russian-U.S. agreement binds Russia to give notice of a halt to adoptions 12 months in advance. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agencies that the president would consider the bill within the next two weeks.
The measure has become one of the most debated topics in Russia.
By Tuesday, more than 100,000 Russians had signed an online petition urging the Kremlin to scrap the bill.
Over the weekend, dozens of Muscovites placed toys and lit candles in front of the Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament after it approved the bill on Friday, but security guards promptly removed them. Opposition groups said they will rally against the bill on Jan. 13, and several popular artists publicly voiced their concern about the legislation.
While receiving a state award from Putin on Wednesday, film actor Konstantin Khabensky wore a badge saying "Children Are Beyond Politics." Veteran rock musician Andrey Makarevich called on Putin Monday to stop "killing children."
During a marathon Putin press conference Thursday, eight of the 60 questions the president answered focused on the bill. Responding angrily, Putin claimed that Americans routinely mistreat children from Russia.
The bill is named in honor of Dima Yakovlev, a Russian toddler who was adopted by Americans and then died in 2008 after his father left him in a car in broiling heat for hours. The father was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter. A Russian television report showed Yakovlev's blind grandmother who claimed that the U.S. family that adopted her grandson forged her signature on documents allowing them to take the boy outside Russia.
Russian lawmakers argue that by banning adoptions to the U.S. they would be protecting children and encouraging adoptions inside Russia.
In a measure of the virulent anti-U.S. sentiment that has gripped parts of Russian society, a few lawmakers went even further, claiming that some Russian children were adopted by Americans only to be used for organ transplants and become sex toys or cannon fodder for the U.S. Army.
Americans involved in adoption of Russian children find the new legislation upsetting.
Bill Blacquiere, president of New York City-based Bethany Christian Services, one of the largest adoption agencies in the U.S., said he hopes Putin won't sign the bill.
"It would be very sad for kids to grow up in orphanages," Blacquiere said. "And would hurt them socially, psychologically and mentally. We all know that caring for children in institutions is just not a very good thing."
Joyce Sterkel, who runs a Montana ranch for troubled children adopted abroad and has adopted three Russian children herself, said she is concerned for the estimated 700,000 children who live in state-run institutions in Russia.
"I would prefer that the Russians take care of their own children. I would prefer that people in the United States take care of their own children," Sterkel said Wednesday. "But if a suitable home cannot be found in that country, it seems reasonable that a child should be able to find a home outside."

South Korea opposition candidate closes poll gap, pledges jobs
SEOUL (Reuters) - Running a close second in opinion polls, South Korean presidential candidate Moon Jae-in announced on Thursday plans for a 20 trillion won ($18.60 billion) jobs package in a bid to close the gap six days before the election.
South Korea bans the publication of opinion polls from Thursday and Moon, the left-wing opposition challenger to conservative Park Geun-hye, was 1.5-3.5 percentage points behind, compared with a gap of up to 7.5 points a week ago.
Moon's gains came after independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo dropped out of the running and threw his support behind Moon's bid to beat Park, the daughter of South Korea's former dictator Park Chung-hee, in the December 19 vote.
"Growth, welfare, economic democracy all start from jobs and are for the sake of jobs," Moon told reporters after announcing his plan which included a promise to raise the minimum wage and halve the number of temporary workers in the private sector.
Pollster Realmeter showed Park was polling 48 percent while Moon was on 47.5 percent, putting the gap well within the margin of error.
"The fact that there is no major third candidate in this election has made the race even more competitive," said Lee Taek Soo, head of Realmeter.
Moon's jobs package would come on top of the government's 342.5 trillion won spending plan for next year that has been submitted to parliament.
Park, in contrast, has not called for any additional spending.
The economy has been the main issue in the election campaign and a surprise rocket launch on Wednesday by rival North Korea appeared to have had little impact on voters.
A poll published by broadcaster SBS showed that just 4.2 percent of respondents said North Korea-related issues linked to the launch could influence their vote.
A separate poll by the Asan Institute think-tank showed that the launch of the rocket, which critics say is aimed at developing a long-range missile that could carry a nuclear weapon, had triggered a small rise in support for Park.
The Asan poll showed that 44.8 percent of respondents cited Park as most capable of dealing with the North while 40.6 favored Moon. ($1 = 1,075.0000 Korean won)

?The Wolverine?: International Poster Means Business ? Nerdist
by Brian Walton on December 13, 2012
There is no denying that the international market is just as, if not more important than domestic box office nowadays. How a film does in China, Russia and other foreign territories can make up 50% or more of a movie?s gross. Films like Iron Man 3, Looper and Battleship are being made in ways to appeal to international fans (and their capital investments). I mention Battleship specifically because while that movie was critically panned in the US and ?bombed,? the film broke even on world box office alone. That ?flop? made the studio a profit. And that?s why the Transformers film franchise will never be laid to rest. Even Legendary and Warner Bros.? upcoming Pacific Rim is going to bask in the glow of having a very diverse international fan base. International sales are the reason so many summer blockbusters in the last 5-10 years were globetrotting affairs, to appeal to audiences outside of the US.
When the X-Men: First Class foreign market box office returns were better than the domestic, it was an easy sell for Fox to rush The Wolverine into production. The Wolverine going to Japan seemed like an inevitability, and now Fox saw how lucrative it could be. And this whole long diatribe about the importance of the international box office is basically so I can inform you The Wolverine got a new international poster that is just as classy as the US counterpart with a modern sensibility. The poster also has a motion version viewable here.
And here?s that original US poster with the stylized black and white art:

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? President Barack Obama will decide shortly how many U.S. troops he wants to keep in Afghanistan after the U.S.-led coalition military mission ends in December 2014, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said Wednesday as he opened two days of consultations with top U.S. commanders and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Panetta offered no clues to what Obama may decide, but other officials have indicated the White House is considering plans that call for between 6,000 and 10,000 U.S. troops to stay for several years after 2014 in order to keep Afghanistan on a path toward stability and to prevent al-Qaida and affiliated terrorist groups from re-emerging as a significant force here. The U.S. now has about 66,000 troops here, along with about 35,000 from allied nations.
Obama also must decide how quickly to reduce the U.S. force from 66,000 to whatever post-2014 level he deems necessary and Karzai considers acceptable.
White House officials said the president's decision on both matters was not expected before the end of the year. His announcement could be timed to a meeting with Karzai in Washington early in 2013. The Afghan leader said last month that he had accepted Obama's invitation to visit the White House "at his earliest convenience."
Panetta had dinner with Gen. John Allen, the top coalition commander, as well as other senior commanders, and he was scheduled to meet with Karzai on Thursday.
Allen, who is under investigation by the Pentagon's inspector general for possibly inappropriate correspondence with a Florida woman linked to the David Petraeus sex scandal, met Panetta upon his arrival at the Kabul airport. Allen did not talk to reporters.
Before the dinner, Panetta had a one-hour meeting with Allen and other senior military officers. Panetta told the commanders he would be meeting with Afghan leaders to "try to tee up" the decisions Obama will have to make on future U.S. troop levels, according to media in the room before the meeting started.
Obama is currently reviewing options for what the U.S. mission might look like after 2014. But the White House has not yet asked the Pentagon for proposals on the next phase of the drawdown in 2013.
Panetta's visit comes at a difficult juncture in the Western coalition's efforts to shift more security responsibilities to Afghan forces so the combat mission can end without a Taliban resurgence. While security has generally improved this year, Afghan forces still lack some important capabilities and the government's ability to effectively govern beyond Kabul and to root out corruption is in great doubt.
Maj. Gen. Lawrence Nicholson, the coalition's deputy chief of staff for operations, said in an interview with reporters traveling with Panetta that coalition commanders are pushing the Afghans to do more on their own. The idea is to push them "right to the brink of failure" so that they are ready to handle the Taliban once they no longer have large numbers of international troops to support them.
"What we say is we want them to see failure, we want them to smell it, we want them to taste it, we just don't want them to achieve it," Nicholson said. "We will push them as far as we can to be self-sufficient."
Painting an optimistic picture, Nicholson said the effort to develop capable Afghan forces has evolved from an arrangement in which most combat operations were partnered or conducted with Afghan and coalition forces fighting together to one in which the U.S. and allied troops are merely "enabling" the Afghans by providing support, such as medical evacuation of their wounded as well as artillery support, bomb disposal and equipment to clear roads of homemade bombs.
The idea, Nicholson said, is to make the Afghan army and police almost entirely self-sufficient by the time the U.S. and NATO combat mission ends at the end of 2014.
"These guys are good fighters, they're natural fighters. What they're not good at right now is what we're working with ? these enablers," he said.
Before flying to Afghanistan, Panetta spoke to about 100 U.S. service members inside an aircraft hangar at Ali al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait. He thanked them for their service and emphasized that the U.S. is winding down its involvement in lengthy wars.

NKorea policy in Seoul to soften despite rocket
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? It is not too early to predict one sure winner of South Korea's presidential election next week: North Korea. President Lee Myung-bak's hardline approach to Pyongyang is going away, no matter who replaces him.
The question is: Just how soft will Seoul go?
Not even Pyongyang's successful launch of a long-range rocket Wednesday has changed the determination of both the liberal and conservative candidates in South Korea to pursue policies of engagement, aid and reconciliation with the North.
This matters because whoever wins the presidential Blue House on Dec. 19 will set the initial tone for new North Korea policy not just in Seoul but in Washington, Beijing and Tokyo. Those countries are undergoing political changes and have been waiting for a new South Korean leader before making any big decisions on North Korea policy.
Washington, especially, is keen to see who will take over when Lee leaves in February. U.S. policy toughened after the embarrassing collapse of an aid-for-nuclear-freeze deal with Pyongyang following a failed April rocket launch attempt by North Korea. However, barring more rocket or nuclear tests from Pyongyang or other acts Washington considers provocative, a new thaw on the Korean Peninsula could eventually provide Barack Obama with a cover to pursue more talks meant to encourage North Korean nuclear disarmament.
The need for more dialogue and aid for Pyongyang is one of the few things the South Korean candidates ? conservative Park Geun-hye and liberal Moon Jae-in ? agree on.
Many South Koreans are frustrated with Lee's efforts on North Korea. His policy links large-scale government aid to North Korea making progress on past commitments to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Instead of disarmament progress, though, the last five years have seen nuclear and missile tests ? including Wednesday's rocket launch ? deadly skirmishes and all-around simmering nastiness between the rival Koreas.
Park and Lee are members of the same conservative political party, so her comments on greater engagement and aid have been striking. They also stand out because Park is the daughter of Park Chung-hee, South Korea's late anti-communist dictator.
While Park's rhetoric on North Korea has hardened after Wednesday's launch, there's no plan to change her underlying policy, her aides say: She still envisions aid shipments, talks meant to spur reconciliation and the restart of some large-scale economic initiatives as progress occurs on the nuclear issue. The aid would be goods that can't be used for military purposes.
Park has also held out the possibility of a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but only if it's "an honest dialogue on issues of mutual concern." She'll also push for progress on nuclear disarmament, human rights and other sensitive issues and says North Korea will pay the price for any provocations.
Her North Korea policy is seen as thin on specifics, however, and there could be limits to her outreach. Many in Park's political party and conservative base have strong anti-North Korea feelings that could be an impediment if she pushes ahead with serious talks.
Moon, on the other hand, intends to quickly resume shipments of government-level food aid to North Korea, though details of how much aid would be worked out if he wins, aides say. He also wants an early summit with North Korea's Kim. His policy isn't influenced by the latest rocket launch, his aides say.
Moon is a protege of the late liberal President Roh Moo-hyun, a champion of the so-called "sunshine policy" of no-strings-attached aid to Pyongyang. Lee replaced Roh in early 2008.
For Moon, aggressive engagement isn't a reward for North Korean nuclear movement; it's the means to transforming the relationship so that "North Korea has an economic stake in a more moderate foreign policy and eventually has even an economic stake in denuclearization," said John Delury, a North Korea analyst at Seoul's Yonsei University.
Moon's candidacy has some in Washington worried about the return of the tension and anti-U.S. feelings that marked Roh's term ? that "the ghosts of the anti-Americanism of the South Korean left will rise again," according to Delury.
The North's rocket launch was magnified because of its timing. Obama will be inaugurated in January to his second term, Japan and South Korea both have national elections this month, and China has just formed a new leadership. But the test is probably not going to "blunt South Korea's desire for renewed inter-Korean dialogue as a necessary step toward stabilizing peninsular relations," Scott Snyder, a Koreas specialist for the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote recently.
The Obama administration has consistently emphasized its solidarity with Seoul, and that rhetoric is unlikely to change, whoever is elected.
A rocket launch could actually "solve any alliance split problems" between Washington and either of the South Korean candidates by forcing a more unified stance, said Victor Cha, a former senior Asia adviser in President George W. Bush's administration.
Washington could also be willing to give either Park or Moon some leeway in reaching out to North Korea if it leads to movement on nuclear disarmament, the issue the United States cares most about. During a November visit to Myanmar, Obama said a decision by North Korea to give up its nuclear aspirations would result in "an extended hand" from the United States.
"A more flexible policy from Seoul also gives the Obama administration more political cover to try another overture toward the North," said Ralph Cossa, president of Pacific Forum CSIS, a Hawaii-based think tank.
Much will come down to the way North Korea treats the new South Korean leader. Pyongyang may expect, for instance, Moon to deliver everything his liberal predecessors promised, something seen as impossible in the current political environment. Pyongyang could also dismiss Park's attempts at engagement, dooming talks before they begin. North Korean media routinely criticize Park's North Korea policy as insincere and confrontational.
North Korea considers the United States, against which it fought during the 1950-53 Korean War, a major enemy. Seoul, on the other hand, is labeled a puppet of Washington, which has more than 28,000 soldiers stationed in South Korea.
"At the end of the day," Cossa said, "it will be the North's willingness, or not, to treat the South as a sovereign equal that will make meaningful dialogue possible, regardless of who is elected."

Tea-Time on McAllister Alley
http://onwardstate.com/wp-content/plugins/slideshow-gallery/vendors/timthumb.php?src=http://onwardstate.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_2351.jpg&w=580&h=580&q=100&a=t
Refreshing. Chewy. Exotic. I love bubble tea.
I think it has something to do with my inner child delighting in devouring food that grosses other people out. Or maybe I just like drinking neon colored liquid that looks like it shouldn?t be ingested by anything?especially a person. Bubble tea just seems to be one of those things you either love with a passion or hate with the fiery vengeance of a thousand suns. Personally, I am a huge fan of bubble tea and it?s delightful chunkiness, so you can imagine the joy I felt when I heard that State College was getting it?s very own bubble tea shop: Tea-Time. After what seemed like months and several fake-outs with their opening date, Tea-Time is now officially open for business on McAllister Alley.
For those of you who are missing out don?t know, bubble or boba tea is a milk-based tea (usually green or black) that contains small tapioca pearls. These pearls are chewy and a bit rubbery in texture, but have a hard to define sweetness. I always describe them as tasting a bit like chocolate, but I?ve heard others swear they can taste hints of caramel or even floral notes. When drinking boba tea, the tapioca sinks to the bottom and must be sucked up with an extra wide straw. The design of the straw is genius, as it ensures a perfect boba-to-tea ratio in every sip. Be warned: the hardest part about drinking bubble tea is rationing out your tapioca pearls so that you don?t run out and end up with just plain old iced tea.
However, Tea-Time serves much more than the traditional milk tea. They also carry iced coffee with coffee flavored jelly, milk tea with pudding inside, and specialty fruit drinks just to name a few. You may also purchase (and or drool over) a variety of desserts and pastries.
Intrigued by the unique offerings, I selected a passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly. To my surprise I was able to choose my level of sweetness, whether I wanted it iced or hot, and (if cold) the amount of ice. I was with a friend who ordered white gourd juice and egg pudding with caramel sauce.
Our drinks were made in good time, and we were each given a different straw for our respective drinks. My passion fruit green tea was tropical and fruity?a perfect pairing when combined with the lychee jelly inside. The jelly was cut up into small strips that were fairly easy to suck up through my comically large straw, although I found them to be a lot stiffer in texture compared to the tapioca pearls I was used to. On the other hand, my friend went sweet and simple with an order of plain gourd juice (if you can call juice from a gourd ?plain?).
Although her drink didn?t contain any of my favorite chunks, the juice was very floral and tasted strongly of brown sugar. It was also extremely fragrant ? ?intoxicating even ? and the delicious molasses flavor lingered on our lips hours after our visit. We both agreed that it would probably be even better warm, and had to stop ourselves from going back to place another order.
With all of this sugar we hardly needed any more, but the adorable pictures of pastries and desserts were too mesmerizing to resist. I ordered the egg custard not knowing what to expect, but was delightfully surprised when I received a little cup of flan-like pudding. The caramel sauce on the bottom complimented our drinks nicely, and the cup became empty in a matter of minutes.
Overall I would have to say that our experience was everything I had hoped for and more. Everything we ate/drank was delicious, even though we had to sit outside in the below 40 weather. Tea-Time only offers outdoor seating, so make sure to bundle up for the months ahead. It?s worth it.
Outdoor seating besides, Tea-Time offers an interesting variety of drinks that focus on quality despite the quantity. The amount of choices are completely overwhelming, and each drink has it?s own unique twist. If you consider the fact that many of the drinks can also be served warm, there are at least a hundred exciting combinations to choose from?and I can?t wait to try them all.
Tea-Time is located on 124 McAllister Alley right next to the Pita Pit. For more information (and more tantalizing pictures) visit their facebook page.
