Resolution Calls for Sanctions on World’s Worst Christian Persecutor
House Resolution 1771, or the North Korea Sanctions Enforcement Act of 2013, directs the president to "investigate credible information" of "sanctionable activities" and then to possibly apply sanctions on individuals or organizations in North Korea that commit a list of offenses. Perhaps most important on the list is "committing or facilitating" a serious human rights abuse. In other words the President of the United States could decide to impose sanctions upon organizations or individuals in North Korea that participate in the mass persecution of Christians. North Korea is believed to have as many as 70,000 Christians locked up in labor camps around the country. Owning a Bible is illegal and punishable by life in prison or even summary execution.

Coping with acts of God, and men
One positive long-term outcome of the 2004 tsunami that ravaged parts of India’s seaboard was a heightened awareness of disaster preparedness and mitigation. Over this past weekend, while over one crore people in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh were hit by Cyclone Phailin, the fact that, prima facie, human casualties were modest in relation to the scale and extent of the devastation, testifies to not only advances in the science of weather-mapping and early warning but also the level of preparedness and efficiency in evaluating an impending threat, and then putting into place the logistics to contain the impact of a natural disaster.

House GOP unveils counter to Senate debt plan
House GOP leaders Tuesday floated a plan to fellow Republicans to counter an emerging Senate deal to reopen the government and forestall an economy-rattling default on U.S. obligations. But the plan got mixed reviews from the rank and file and it was not clear whether it could pass the chamber. The measure would suspend a new tax on medical devices for two years and take away the federal government's contributions to lawmakers' health care and top administration officials. It would also fund the government through Jan. 15 and give Treasury the ability to borrow normally through Feb. 7.

Senate Gets A Dose Of Scolding With Its Morning Prayer
It's easy to tune out when the Senate goes through its morning rituals. The president pro tem calls the chamber to order; there's the Pledge of Allegiance. One morning could sound like any other. Except for the past two weeks. Barry C. Black, the Senate chaplain, has been using his morning prayers to say exactly what he thinks is wrong with Washington lawmakers: "Remove from them that stubborn pride, which imagines itself to be above and beyond criticism."
