Kim Jong Un still in charge of North Korea?

 By Michael Martinez, Oct. 8, 2014, Cnn.com



 (CNN) -- Events in North Korea have left the world wondering: Where's leader Kim Jong Un and is he still running perhaps the most isolated country on Earth?

 Some analysts speculate Kim may have been ousted by an old guard from the era of his late father, whose 2011 death put the son in power.

 First, Kim Jong Un gained a lot of weight. Then he developed a limp. Now the 31-year-old leader has been out of the public eye since September 3, during which he missed an important state meetingand, more recently, a meeting Tuesday to mark the 17th anniversaryof his father's election as general secretary of the Workers' Party.

 Those events may not seem like much. After all, Kim could merely be ill, analysts say. In fact, official North Korean media said Kim was "suffering from discomfort," with no elaboration.

NBA Will Still Force Sale Of L.A. Clippers, Rebuffs Sterlings' Offer -- Another gambit

NBA Will Still Force Sale Of L.A. Clippers, Rebuffs Sterlings' Offer -- Another gambit

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The NBA will proceed with a vote to force a sale of the Los Angeles Clippers, rebuffing an effort by co-owners Donald and Shelly Sterling to sell the franchise voluntarily, NBA spokesman Mike Bass said Friday.

"We continue to follow the process set forth in the NBA Constitution regarding termination of the current ownership interests in the Los Angeles Clippers and are proceeding toward a hearing on this matter on June 3," Bass said.

His announcement followed reports earlier Friday about how Donald and Shelly Sterling agreed to a voluntary sale of the NBA franchise as the league prepares a vote on a forced sale, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The couple have an agreement to allow Shelly Sterling to do the negotiations, and there have already been discussions between her and the NBA, according to the source.

Attorneys for the Sterlings, who earlier declined to comment about the couple's effort for a voluntary sale, weren't immediately available to react to Bass' statement.

Friday's events signal how the NBA is standing by its ultimatum that a vote will be held on a forcible sale.

For their part, the Sterlings appear to be running out of options -- short of suing the league -- and analysts say such a lawsuit wouldn't be inconceivable because Sterling is an attorney well versed in litigation.

Meanwhile, pressure grows for Donald Sterling, a real estate billionaire. He faces a deadline Tuesday to respond to the NBA's proposal to terminate his ownership in the team because of racist remarks he made.
