BEIJING (AP) - Urban Chinese who have more than one child will get a black mark on their credit record, the government said, 
in a scheme that appeared to target newly rich couples undeterred by fines from having extra children. 
"In the future, city residents' family planning violations will be entered in the credit system of the People's Bank of China," said a notice posted late Thursday.

<b>What is psiphon?</b> <br>
psiphon is a censorship circumvention solution that allows users to access blocked sites in countries where the Internet is censored. psiphon turns a regular home computer into a personal, encrypted server capable of retrieving and displaying web pages anywhere 
<br><b>
Who will use psiphon? </b><br>
psiphon operates through networks of trust. There are psiphon providers who install and administer a psiphon server (psiphonode) in an uncensored country, and psiphon users (psiphonites) who login and access the server from a country that censors the Internet. 
<br><br>
<b>Psiphon</b> is part of the CiviSec Project run by the Citizen Lab at the Munk Centre for International Studies at the University of Toronto. <br>The CiviSec Project is funded by the Open Society Institute.

<ul><font size="2">Norse mythology ><b> Odin</b> <br><br><ul>
<img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/odin3.jpg" align="right">
The chief divinity of the Norse pantheon, the foremost of the Aesir. Odin is a son of Bor and Bestla. He is called Alfadir, Allfather, for he is indeed father of the gods. With Frigg he is the father of Balder, Hod, and Hermod. He fathered Thor on the goddess Jord; and the giantess Grid became the mother of Vidar.   
 
Odin is a god of war and death, but also the god of poetry and wisdom. 
 
He hung for nine days, pierced by his own spear, on the world tree. Here he learned nine powerful songs, and eighteen runes. Odin can make the dead speak to question the wisest amongst them. 
 
His hall in Asgard is Valaskjalf ("shelf of the slain") where his throne Hlidskjalf is located. From this throne he observes all that happens in the nine worlds. 
<img src="http://www.sefco-export.com/odinarm.JPG" align="left">  
The tidings are brought to him by his two raven Huginn and Muninn. He also resides in Valhalla, where the slain warriors are taken. 
 
Odin's attributes are the spear Gungnir, which never misses its target, the ring Draupnir, from which every ninth night eight new rings appear, and his eight-footed steed Sleipnir. He is accompanied by the wolves Freki and Geri, to whom he gives his food for he himself consumes nothing but wine. Odin has only one eye, which blazes like the sun. His other eye he traded for a drink from the Well of Wisdom, and gained immense knowledge. On the day of the final battle, Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir. 
 
He is also called Othinn, Wodan and Wotan. Some of the aliases he uses to travel icognito among mortals are Vak and Valtam. Wednesday is named after him (Wodan). </ul>
