Kim Jong-un uncle shown in military uniform with general insignia

The footage on state television shows Jang Song-thaek paying respects at Kim Jong-il's body as it lies in state at Kumsusan Memorial Palace. It indicates Mr Jang has been appointed to a new military job. Seoul's Unification Ministry says it's the first time Jang has been shown wearing a military uniform on state TV.

South Korean intelligence has predicted Kim Jong-un's aunt Kim Kyong-hui, a key Workers' Party official, and her husband Mr Jang, who is a vice chairman of the powerful National Defence Commission, will play larger roles supporting the heir.

Kim Jong-un made a third visit Saturday to the palace where his father's body is lying in state - this time as "supreme leader of the revolutionary armed forces" and accompanied by North Korea's top military brass, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.

The new title and public show of support from the military leadership sent a strong signal that the nation will maintain Kim Jong-il's "military first" policy for the time being.

North Korean meanwhile lashed out at its Southern neighbour for a perceived lack of respect towards Kim.

Saying the whole world is in mourning for "a peerlessly great man", the North for the second time in three days blasted the South over its response to Kim's sudden death on December 17.

There would be "unpredictable catastrophic consequences" for cross-border relations unless Seoul eases restrictions on condolence visits by South Koreans to Pyongyang, it said.

Siemens to Cut Jobs as Diagnostics Unit Fights to Regain Ground

December 25, 2011, 10:47 AM EST

By Richard Weiss

Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Siemens AG, Europe?s largest engineering company, plans to cut as many as 1,600 jobs at its health-care division and will scale back the business after falling behind competitors including Roche Holding AG.

The planned cuts amount to as much as 8 percent of workers at the diagnostics subsidiary, said Michael Sen, the chief financial officer of the health-care operations. Another 400 jobs will go as Siemens stops making linear accelerators that create radiation for cancer treatment.

Chief Executive Officer Peter Loescher is embarking on the unit?s second major overhaul in less than two years, after Siemens spent more than 10 billion euros ($13 billion) since 2006 bolstering the diagnostics business. Order intake and sales at the health-care unit failed to grow in the most recent quarter, and profitability at the diagnostics business has slumped to less than half the rate two years earlier.

?We want to become leaner, while investing in a new platform of products,? Sen said in the interview in Erlangen, southern Germany, on Dec. 15. ?In diagnostics, we don?t want to remain at the level of profitability that we closed at last year.?

Diagnostics, which accounted for 29 percent of Siemens health care?s 12.46 billion euros in sales in fiscal 2011, posted an operating margin of 6.7 percent in the most recent quarter. That?s down from 14.7 percent in the first quarter of 2010. The division, which sells equipment to test body fluids for diseases, employs almost 15,000 people globally.

Shifting Production

The focus will be on reducing costs and shifting production to lower-cost countries, a strategy that will prevent the unit for some more years from growing at the speed of the market, estimated at 3 percent to 5 percent, Sen said.

?We need to manage expectations,? he said. ?It won?t happen in 2012. Diagnostics is not a quick fix.?

Siemens built the business by purchasing Dade Behring Holdings Inc., Bayer AG?s diagnostics unit and Diagnostics Products Corp. between 2006 and 2007 as it sought to narrow the gap with General Electric Co. Siemens wrote down goodwill accumulated with the acquisitions by 1.15 billion euros in November last year. Goodwill at diagnostics remains at 4.78 billion euros, or 30 percent of total at 15.71 billion euros.

No More Accelerators

The company will phase out linear accelerators, while it will continue to serve its equipment in operation, Sen said in the interview. The company won?t sell the installed base, he said. The move will result in almost 400 job cuts in Germany over two years, the majority of which will be in Erlangen.

The company said in November that an overhaul will cost about 300 million euros in the fiscal year that started Oct. 1. Sen said while the program will run for two years, it won?t weigh on earnings next year. Siemens stopped commercially offering particle-therapy systems earlier this year.

?From today?s perspective I see no further costs next year,? 43 year-old Sen said.

Sen, a Siemens employee for 16 years, took over financial responsibility for the medical units at the end of 2008, after heading investor relations and working on corporate strategy. Hermann Requardt assumed leadership of the division, previously among Siemens?s top performing areas, in 2008.

?Poor Execution?

Requardt initially coupled the job with his role as chief technology officer for Siemens, a position he handed over to Klaus Helmrich earlier this year. A lack of management focus, and ?poor execution? integrating the purchases resulted in a loss of more than 6 percentage points of market share in the four years following the acquisitions, with Roche overtaking Siemens for the top spot in the industry, Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Uglow estimated in a Nov. 28 note to clients.

?We may have been focused internally too much, while our competition was out in the market,? Sen said.

Siemens says its imaging business, which makes scanners to detect cancer and other diseases, has defended its top spot in magnetic resonance imaging and angiographic systems. In computed tomography, Siemens edged past GE, and Sen said more than half of its scanners are now manufactured in China.

Increasing revenue and profit with ultrasound equipment has come into focus, and the business will push into ?many new areas? of application, Sen said. Siemens separated the business from its larger imaging modalities in 2010 and bundled it with x-ray offering to better develop cheaper models and expand into emerging markets.

Siemens?s health care operations had 51,000 employees as of Sept. 30, making it the smallest of Siemens?s four so-called sectors. Siemens last year generated 35 percent of health-care sales in the U.S., its largest market, and 22 percent in Asia. The installed base of imaging equipment in China stands at more than 4,000 units, Siemens said June.

Storms move across Georgia; tornado watch issued

ATLANTA (AP) -- Strong storms moved through Georgia Thursday evening, and emergency dispatchers reported damage in the Rome area, Gordon County and elsewhere, mostly in northwest Georgia.

Georgia Power estimated that more than 19,000 customers lost electricity early Thursday evening.

Power was reported out in much of west Rome.

Georgia Power spokeswoman Carol Boatright said about two-thirds of the outages in the state were in the Rome area. "Our crews are used to working in bad weather, and they'll be out there working this evening," she said.

Damage in Floyd County "seems to be the result of straight line winds and confined to an area of West Rome, mostly businesses reporting windows blown out," Ken Davis of the Georgia Emergency Management Agency said in a statement.

There were two reported minor injuries in Rome, caused by cuts from flying glass, Davis said.

Davis said utility crews were en route to restore lost power in the area.

A rehab center, described by Davis as a place to get a warm drink and out of the weather, was being established at Westminster Presbyterian Church.

Gordon County reported a couple of homes with damages ranging from major to being destroyed by straight line winds, and some minor injuries. Some power outages were reported in Gordon county, Davis said.

In Adairsville in Bartow County, the National Weather Service said many trees were down and homes were damaged.

Emergency management officials said numerous trees were down in southern Gilmer County.

Trees were reported down in Polk, Meriwether and Douglas counties.

Power lines were reported down in Coweta County.

HTC Fireball and LG Spectrum may bring global awesomeness to Verizon's LTE lineup

Separately, the HTC Fireball and LG Spectrum have made their appearances in Verizon's internal system before. But together, in the screenshot above, they're actually much more than just a couple silly names -- they're responsible for ushering in the beginning of an era (potentially). We have yet to see an LTE device on Big Red's lineup that can double as a world phone, but these two phones appear to have the international roaming capability. We're expecting to see them show up at CES, so we'll keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime, we'll just assume the "O" listed in the Global Phone category stands for ohhhh yeah.
