...their movements may cause significant ocean-mixing. But despite numerous attempts, the phenomenon has not been observed since the 2006 study. "Instead, many people studying mixing have not seen large increases in mixing during times krill or other zooplankton migrate," says Michael Gregg, an oceanographer at the University of Washington.

...possible that Kim is once again trying to direct North Korea out of the corner it's crawled into. Pyongyang, even amid recent tirades against the U.S. aimed at Clinton's wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has left the door open to the possibility of re-engaging Washington in talks - though not in the so-called six-party format, which includes all of North Korea's direct neighbors, that Obama favors. "We must pay keen attention to what signal North Korea sent to Bill Clinton," says Yun Duk min, a professor at a think tank affiliated with the South...
...each side accused the other of not living up to its details. (Both sides had a case.) But Clinton, as President, didn't waver from his belief that a grand bargain with the North was possible - not just denuclearization but an eventual peace treaty and normalization of relations between Washington and Pyongyang.

Clinton almost certainly bore a message that Washington wants to talk again, in some forum. And while the U.S. might not want to "buy the same horse" now, who knows what it might be in the diplomatic market...
...release removes one obvious thorn between Washington and Pyongyang, whose relations in the past six months have sunk to a level "that's as bad as I've ever seen them," as Clinton's former ambassador to the U.N., Bill Richardson, said on Tuesday. Now the question of the moment is, Will the former President's visit reverse that deteriorating dynamic? Clinton met with Kim for 3½ hours on Tuesday evening. Even if the former President didn't - as the White House insisted - bring a specific message to Kim from Obama, it's safe to assume...
