ch everywhere but Caracas, the capital. Worsening power 
outages, crumbling infrastructure and other unfulfilled promises witnessed 
this week in a trip through the country's industrial heartland could be 
an important factor in Sunday's election to replace socialist President 
Hugo Chavez, who died last month after a long battle with cancer.His 
political heir, Nicolas Maduro, is favored to win, largely on the strength 
of Chavez's generous anti-poverty programs, which Chavez emphasized over 
public works with one big exception: housing.But polls show that support 
may be eroding and the outages are a testament to the neglect 
many Venezuelans consider inexcusable in this major oil-producing state. 
Violent crime, double-digit inflation, official corruption and persistent 
food shortages are other factors.Some of the rolling, intermittent blackouts 
are still scheduled. But most are no longer announced. They generally last 
three to four hours a day on average, said Miguel Lara, who 
ran the power grid until Chavez forced him out in 2004 for 
being "a political risk."Jose Aguilar, a U.S.-based consultant with extensive 
and more recent experience in Venezuela's electrical industry, says it is 
suffering "a downward spiral of deterioration." Insufficient transmission 
lines are running so hot that 20,000 distribution transformers burned out 
last year, he said. "They run them cherry red."Electrical substations are 
in a precarious state, Aguilar and Lara s
rhetoric and confirmed that this will only serve to further isolate the 
DPRK," the final communique said, using the acronym for North Korea's official 
name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "They urged the DPRK to 
engage in credible and authentic multilateral talks on denuclearization."In 
recent weeks, Washington and Beijing have cooperated on new sanctions against 
the North and both have decried the increasing threats from Kim Jong 
Un's government, which have expanded to include talk of a nuclear strike 
against the United States. It is not believed to have such capacity, 
but the provocative rhetoric has officials around the world extremely worried.At 
the State Department meeting after North Korea's Feb. 12 nuclear test, different 
ideas for how to bring about a new assertiveness from Beijing were 
tossed around, according to the senior U.S. official, who wasn't authorized 
to speak publicly about the meeting and demanded anonymity.One approach 
could be described best as the power of persuasion: Make the case 
to Chinese authorities, offered many times previously, that both the U.S. 
and China share a common interest in ensuring a stable Korean Peninsula, 
without the threat of nuclear war in the Asia-Pacific.The other approach 
is more akin to the power of example: Show the Chinese what 
it means if they cannot control the North's behavior by beefing up 
U.S. defenses and sending more American military assets right into China's 
backya
