Background: The prevalence of diabetes is increasing worldwide and there is inequality in the distribution of diabetic complications. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in adults of working age in the UK, and certain risk factors are recognized. Retinopathy screening in the UK involves annual digital retinal photography and image grading. Auditing equity in retinopathy screening poses unique challenges, and screening program data are often incomplete for variables relevant to equity. Using two sources of patient-level primary care data, we conducted a health equity audit comparing the access and uptake of screening between groups of people with diabetes in each of three screening programs covering this area of southern England.
Methods: A patient-level dataset using data from general practices and a combined health record was used to compare dimensions of equity (gender, age, length of time since diabetes diagnosis, type of diabetes, presence of hypertension, socioeconomic deprivation, ethnicity, and screening program) between people with and without a record of retinopathy screening within three years in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, UK.
Results: Anonymized data for 70,004 people with diabetes were obtained from 205 (88%) general practices. In total, 62,836 people (89.8%) had a record of screening within three years and 7168 (10.2%) did not. Lower uptake of screening was independently associated with the youngest and oldest age groups (compared with 50–79-year-olds), recent diabetes diagnosis, and deprived areas. Diagnosed hypertension was positively associated with screening.
Conclusion: Evaluating equity in screening programs is important to help reduce inequalities. We found evidence of inequity in access and uptake of retinopathy screening. Primary care data contained more information than screening program data. Using a combined health record was more efficient than obtaining data directly from general practices, but data were incomplete for deprivation measures at the time of this audit. Our audit informed subsequent efforts to improve equity in local diabetic retinopathy screening services.

"Easily avoided," is how federal investigators have characterized the crash of an airplane in the Nascar fleet that killed the husband of a racing executive and four other people a year and a half ago. In reaching its determination of probable cause in the fiery crash of a Cessna 310 that slammed through a neighborhood in Orlando, Fla., the National Transportation Safety Board cited both the pilots and the Nascar flight department.
"From the time the plane landed the night before the accident with a known maintenance issue to the time it was airborne the next morning, there were numerous opportunities that should have been taken to stop the chain of events," said Mark V. Rosenker, the acting chairman of the N.T.S.B.
Dr. Bruce Kennedy, husband of Lesa France Kennedy, president of International Speedway Corporation, and Michael Klemm, a Nascar pilot, were flying the airplane. Both men were killed along with three people on the ground, two young children and a mother.
At a public hearing into the accident on Wednesday, N.T.S.B. investigators explained that pilots operating the plane the day before the accident smelled smoke and pulled a circuit breaker. While the pilot noted the problem in the plane's log and reported it to maintenance, nothing was done to correct it before the plane was dispatched the following day. Read more…

When Good Friends Marry Off
- Wednesday, March 15, 2006
Actually, nothing has taught me dependence on God like letting go of people. I don't think it's simply because I'm a chronically codependent, enmeshed, dysfunctional relational junkie. Perhaps there's some truth in that. But honestly, letting go can just be hard on the heart, and sometimes I need help. I need help trusting that if I, like a trapeze artist, let go of one swinging ladder and free-fall through the air, another ladder will come to my hand when the time is right. David, the second king of Israel, once said, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread" (Psalms 37:25). I wish I could ask him if his observations applied to food for the soul as well as for the body.
I know I have had some serious hunger pains since my friends started marrying off fifteen years ago. There have been many lonely, dateless Saturday nights when I've wanted to call a friend but she's out with her husband. There are annual moments at family beach gatherings when my brothers and their wives go out for long walks, and I'm left watching another VeggieTales video with their children and my parents. Honestly, at times it has felt like getting whacked in the heart by an emotional hammer. Strangely, though, it's as if the pattern of loss has actually softened my heart. Though I would never have chosen it (and would melt down that hammer if I had the choice), letting go again and again has pounded tenderness into my heart, keeping it from growing leathery and tough. As a result, as crazy as it sounds, my heart has actually grown more fertile.
Somehow, I now have Dana and her good gift in my heart. It's like my friendship with her got reapportioned and then multiplied, especially as children have come with her marriage. Or now, when I meaningfully connect in relationships with other friends who have married off, like with my friend Del or with my brother, it's far richer and deeper because their respective marriages (and parenting experiences) have left each of them as even more loving and wise people. It's as if the cutbacks have in fact spawned more growth.
Recently I went to the post office to pick up my latest bridesmaid dress (one I think I really will wear again). Unboxing it at home and shaking out the wrinkles, a strange thing happened. Instead of freaking out or getting that "I'm stinking sick of being a bridesmaid!" feeling, I found myself quietly smiling, anticipating my friend's wedding day. Miraculously, as the bridesmaid-once-again tried on her dress, the drama queen was at rest. Lingering in the pale blue – not white – dress, I found myself silently concurring with King David: in spite of the real loss of intimacy with many close friends whose lives changed with marriage, I had not been forsaken. I had not been left behind. I had not become an emotional beggar. I was not some pitifully depressing, lonely, old, tight-hearted spinster. To the contrary. As I looked into the mirror, I reflected: my heart was more full than ever. Something deep in my soul was tasting satisfaction. Plus, my smile grew bigger because, well, between you and me, I thought I looked hot in that dress.

(LifeScript Health News) Although teens and young adults are most at risk for the human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, a new study from the National Institute of Cancer in Bogota, Columbia says that older women are also at risk and the popular vaccination can help them too.
HPV infections usually strike women within 5-10 years of their first sexual experience, sometimes causing cervical cancer or genital warts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended the three-part vaccination, Gardasil, for women up to 26 years old.
In the Bogota study, researchers studied more than 4,000 women: Half received the vaccination and half a placebo. After two years, four cases of HPV infection were found in the vaccinated group compared to 41 from the placebo group.
Merck, the manufacturer of Gardasil, is expected to ask the Food and Drug Administration to approve the drug for women aged 25-45.

Letter to the Editor: Neither candidate is evil
It's never too late! Or is it already too late in the day to see the light of reason? This is not a negative election as in choosing between the lesser of evils. Neither candidate is evil. (Hitler was evil - and very sincere about it.) Each candidate is motivated by a different vision for our country.
Are you hearing and discerning the difference? I agree with my baby boomer son's distinction: we must choose between a government for and by business or a government for and by the people.
Please read the 52-word preface to our Constitution which begins, "We the People" and includes the purpose "to insure domestic tranquility, promote general welfare and secure blessings of liberty." Anything that sounds like corporations and CEOs? Anything that encourages political party loyalty?
Regardless of your definition of a Christian or an atheist, consider the wisdom of Rousseau's opinion: "Those who would treat politics and morality apart will never understand that one or the other." And read Lincoln's closing promise in his Gettysburg address, "That this government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish."
Let your vote represent your examined ideals and faith in the direction we will go as Americans.
Elizabeth Truesdale, Strasburg

Oh, VP, I do SO agree with you! We absolutely NEED to remove people like Mitch McConnell, dead beat dads like Joe Walsh, and silly women like Michele Bachmann--to name a few.
Michele said one of her professors, John Eidsmoe, was "one of the professors who had a great influence on me", "a wonderful man", and "absolutely brilliant."
In 2010 he addressed an event commemorating Alabama's Secession Day where he told an interviewer that it was Alabama's "constitutional right to secede," and that "Jefferson Davis and John C. Calhoun understood the Constitution better than did Abraham Lincoln and Daniel Webster." In April, 2010, he was disinvited from a Tea Party rally in Wausau, Wisconsin, because of these statements and appearances. (wiki)
Michele's hero. It figures!
The oft accusers of "Obama" dividing the nation are spouted from the mouths of those that also persistently accuse the President of one conspiracy or another, never acknowledging when they are proven wrong, just moving on to the next big theory. No lie too vile, be it lying about the President's family, lying about the deaths of Americans, lying to workers about their jobs, etc...., and yet they maintain those who do not fall prey to the ignorance are "dividers".

Critical thinking is not so much a "lost art" as it more likely never was taught in school. Certainly, the people who post here never heard of it.
It is when our Supreme Court made corporations people that our government became so corrupted that it may not ever be a government of, by or for any thing any more except corporate interests. I, as a person, cannot get the ear of my Senators to discuss my concerns on any given issue because I cannot afford to give as much to their campaigns as the corporations can and do. If you want our government returned to the people, you must vote against corporate interests, against those who support corporations over people.
MC, I agree. We should all demand campaign finance reform. My plan: Let them have all the money they want during the primaries and any left over must be donated to charity. For the general elections, only public money donated through tax returns and distributed equally can be used. The amount of individual donations would be limited to a small amount. Incumbents holding any government position would forfeit pay for every day they spend campaigning. Reimbursement for campaign use of public assets would be strictly enforced by GAO. Did I miss anything?
The election is now finally over, but the popular vote was far below that of the two previous general elections. Evidently many folks "sat this one out" as being a "lost cause".
Here is a link to water, weather, and elections:
Still being a shill promoting your own website, huh John? Have you ever had a single original thought not traceable back to George Carlin?
Voter turnout is below previous elections. I blame massive Republican efforts to suppress voter registration with ID laws and threats of arrest for voting legally.
Breaking News:
Florida Congressman and Teabilly darling Allen West lost his bid for re-election. West blames Obama for altering weather patterns that forced Hurricane Sandy to smash New Jersey, trapping snow birds from voting once in NJ and a second time in Florida.
Did I just say massive voter fraud in New Jersey caused West's defeat in Florida? Don't believe little ol' me. Glenn Beck supporters said it.

EAST GREENBUSH, New York — Authorities say a 27-year-old man has died after he was hit by a vehicle while walking on an Albany-area road.
Police in the Rensselaer County town of East Greenbush tell local media they were called to a stretch of the Columbia Turnpike around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday for a report of an accident.
Police say when officers arrived, they found Timothy Bishop of East Greenbush lying in the road. He was taken to Albany Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled for later today.
The driver of the car told investigators that he was driving east when a person appeared in the road in front of him and was struck by the vehicle.
The accident remains under investigation.

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 48 reviews
While retaining the power and utility of a functional workhorse pickup, as well as off-road capability and a towing capacity of up to 9,000 pounds, the 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 also works nicely as a spacious family truck, depending on the trim level. The half-ton pickup receives few changes for 2008, aside from a more-powerful standard 4.7-liter V8 that now gets 310 hp. Other engine choices are the 3.7-liter, 215-hp V6 in the base utility ST trims only, and the 5.7-liter, 345-hp HEMI V8 that features cylinder deactivation for better fuel economy. A choice of 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual comes with the V6 and 4.7 V8, while the HEMI gets a 5-speed automatic only.
The 2008 Ram Pickup 1500 is available in either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive with low-range gearing. All-wheel drive can be substituted on the higher-end SLT and Laramie trims. You also have the choice of either a 6.3-foot or 8-foot bed (you may want to start a grid here to keep track of all the choices). There are four trims altogether. The base ST features one row of seats, while the SXT, SLT, and Laramie seat up to six in three rows. Three cab choices vary the passenger comfort. Regular cabs are two-door pickups. The Quad cab has four regular doors. The Mega Cab is the same as the Quad, but adds 20 more inches in the cabin (meaning it only comes with the smaller pickup bed) for a roomy 44 inches of rear legroom. In Quad and Mega Cabs, the rear seats fold flat into the floor.
All trims come with 4-wheel ABS brakes and dual front-side airbags for the front row. Purely functional, the ST features few trimmings beyond air conditioning and a CD player, but you get power features, leather seats, and power front seats as you move up to the top-of-the-line Laramie. Options add a DVD player and navigation system. There are also off-road and sports packages. Of course the 14/19 mpg is terrible, and if that's a concern, you probably shouldn't be buying a half-ton truck, although it's worth mentioning that the revamped 4.7 V8 is available as an E85 vehicle. Overall, owners love the V8 power, towing capability, and interior comfort of the 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500.

A big insulated lunch box for big appetites!
Dedicated to our old contractor friend, Louie, a big guy who worked hard, ate a lot (without apology) and who always complained about wimpy lunch boxes. Ours is 1200-denier super-duty material, with enough room to hold breakfast, lunch and dinner. Includes an upper food and snack compartment and a bottom sealed cold drink compartment that holds two liter bottles of water or a 6-pack with room left over. Easy-to-access exterior pockets (one with zip closure) hold silverware, a bottle of Tabasco® sauce, or salt and pepper shakers. Pack it up and eat like a king.

Used for lunch in a factory setting.
Best Uses
this cooler is going on two years old and on the job site every day. not a mark on it. zipper is tough to close but thats because it is build tough. at the time this was the only size available and said how big it was, i have to disagree. its very small in my opinion. just ordered the big brother and can't wait i will not be disappointed as long as its build with the same quality
Best Uses
I would have loved to give this lunch box a five star, but I just couldn't do it. When I read the reviews I got excited thinking this thing was huge but alas no. It is bigger than most but not as big as portrayed. I was wanting something a little bigger than this but it's still great! The insulation is good but not great. I like that you can put cold things in the bottom and hot stuff it the top compartment or vice versa. But after leaving it sit for about an hour or so it soon becomes room temp or higher inside but that typical of most lunch boxes. I say crushes easily, but not as easily as you think. It's tough enough, you cant seem to tear it up, it's super tough. All in all the only real problem I have with it is it's size. I think it's too small, a sandwich great but some Tupper wear or soup mug... forget about it, you'll have to carry that separately.
Best Uses
I am a garbage man and I have been going through lunch bags at the rate of 1 every 8-9 months. This bag is built to last! Thank you Duluth!
I am looking forward to stopping in at the store this fall. I am like a kid in a candy store when I stop in. The customer service is A+ both online and at the Port Washington store.

Best Uses
Excellent lunch bag. Highly recommend. Well built. Zippers are heavy duty. Looks like this bag will last me a LONG time!
Best Uses
This is a nice product. I had been looking for a lunch box to replace an old one that I had that was unable to hold all my food for the day. I finally found this and tried to find something else comparable in the category and could not find another lunch box. After having it shipped to my house, I was SURPRISED to see the actual size of this thing! I love it! I'm able to hold all my food plus anything else I need for the day.
I particularly like the construction of this newer model of the lunch box (yeah, it's changed over the years...), the side walls of the cold compartment are very sturdy and don't "sink" like previous models. It seems like there is some hard plastic walls to make sure that they don't sag from the weight of the top compartment.
The shoulder strap is also made of very very good material and craftsmanship. It's to support the weight of glass containers holding my food and a water bottle hanging off of it (The third D-ring on the box is handy for a small carabiner clip to hold on to my water bottle). The handles on the lunch box are also nice and sturdy. I think the handles are a bit thick for my hands, but they sure are soft and don't dig into your hands when your lunch box is filled to the brim.
The lunch box is easy to clean and is made of very tough material. This lunch box does not go to extreme places like some of the other users, but it fits well under my desk at work. I enjoy its durability and its ability to retain the cold from the ice packs I purchased afterwards (more on that later).
The zippers are no longer YKK zippers. This is a bummer, but they seem to still be sturdy. I'll check back in a year or so to let everyone know how they still work. They are still a bit stiff, but you can loosen them up. For me, I went to the grocery store and purchased some "Parafin Wax" and rubbed it on all the zippers. It did the trick and seems to work a little easier now. I imagine that I will have to re-lubricate them again in the future, but that is something that I can deal with.
The side pockets are so darn small! I don't know what I can fit inside of them. I wish they could expand a little bit, especially the zippered pocket. I haven't been able to use them and am curious to hear what others have used them for.
For the price, I wish it came with an ice pack. I ended up buying a set of two ice packs for the box from a large online retailer. I'm glad I got two of them, because the lunch box is soooo big that one pack can't keep the entire thing cool. Each ice pack has the dimensions 0.75" x 7" x 3.9". I end up putting one ice pack in the ice pack holder, and the other underneath one of my food items.
Great lunch box and perfect for me. I'm glad I saw some other pictures online to get an idea of how much this thing could hold. I also enjoy the 1200-denier material that is used for insulation. My ice packs are still cool at the end of the day when I get home. It's nice to be able to go on a day trip with my lady and bring enough food for the two of us. I'm quite happy with my first purchase from Duluth Trading Company.
Best Uses
This is a very durable yet somewhat flexible insulated lunch box and carry all. Both the upper and lower compartments are well insulated, so you could use the bottom for several cold drinks, maybe a six pack, and keep your food cold in the top half.
I keep my misc. stuff, checkbook Tylenol etc. (man purse stuff) in the top and a sandwich and my full size IPad in the bottom. The zippers on this are built to last forever, as is the rest of it. This lunchbox will get you to retirement, and then some!
Best Uses
I've bought three of these lunch boxes for gifts and they were really appreciated. My son is in the logging business, he was super impressed with this lunch box. My husband carries his lunch and everything else in it including his phone. I highly recommend this for a gift or for yourself!
Best Uses
Only improvement I would suggest is changing the handles to a Velcro closure.

Chow in the Upper West Side

- TDotFoodie May 11, 2007 11:05 AM
A Toronto Chowhound is hitting up NYC next weekend and staying at Broadway and W 103 St. Suggestions for breakfast (or anything else!) in the area?
http://www.chowhound.com/topics/400183 is a great thread full of UWS rec's.
You'll be very close to Absolute Bagels, which has great chewy salty bagels. If you feel like walking for 15 minutes over to Harlem, you'll hit Zoma (113th and Frederick Douglass/8th Ave) my favorite Ethiopian, and Lee Lee's, home of fabulous "rugelach by a brother"
re: rose water
Word - thanks rose water I will check out that thread.
Try the very underrated Pizzabolla on Amsterdam and 92nd for great pizza and pasta---they have a few outside tables.
The pickings are slim right up here, but a couple of things you might try - Silver Moon Bakery on 105 & Broadway, they have a few tables outside if the weather is good and their croissant and french bread are excellent, and they have interesting sandwiches at lunch time; also for breakfast, Picnic on 102 & Broadway, serving Silver Moon bread, omelettes etc...pricey, but good. The Cafe du Solei is to be avoided at all costs for all meals, bland, overpriced food and sub par service, even for the UWS. Classic UWS breakfast, good if you are up and out early, is Barney Greengrass, the Sturgeon King at Amsterdam between 86 & 87. Fab food - try the nova and scrambled (won't have to eat again for a week or so!)
You def. have to stop by Absolute Bagel, as someone already mentioned.
Other options:
Cafe Con Leche - Amsterdam and 96ish
Turkuaz - B'way and 100th
Crepes on Columbus - Columbus and 105ish
And I know it's not the best slice, but you gotta try Koronet (B'way and 110th) for the novelty alone.
re: mcoleman
sadly, la rosita closed its doors in december of last year.
For classic diner breakfast fare, the Broadway Restaurant on B'way and 102 is the best in the neighborhood, IMHO. The egg/bacon/grits platter is very satisfying, and the food of surprisingly high quality for the relatively low prices (e.g.only real butter used) The service is friendly, and the place is REAL, unlike the overpriced, prettified Metro Diner down the street.
For a quick/cheap dinner on the go, the Supertaco truck on Broadway and 96th Street is great. They are only there after 6 p.m. on weekdays; earlier on weekends.
Flor de Mayo on B'way and 101 has delicious Peruvian chicken, with satisfying sides like black beans, yellow rice, and maduros (sweet fried plaintains.)
Indus Valley on B'way and 99th has best Indian in the neighborhood.
Pampa, Argentinian Steak place on Amsterdam and 98th, is especially nice in good weather when you can outdoor eating in the garden in back. (Cash only, however.)
Jerusalem Felafel, on the west side of Broadway and I think between 104th and 105th Sts., has pretty tasty felafel.
Another place that hasn't been mentioned yet is El Malecon, called "El Rey de Pollo" ("The Chicken King") for its great Pollo a la Brasa (rotisserie chicken). It's on Amsterdam between 97th and 98th Sts.

« I Lost Everything in a House Fire | Main | Assessing the Year that Was »January 3, 2012
The Oppressed of North Korea
Here on earth we can trust that God is still bringing justice to his people.
Since the beginning of October, I've learned at least one new thing about Korean culture every day. You see, on October 1st, I moved in with my lovely friend, Anna, who is half-Korean. Anna's mom, Okkyong, moved to the States in her late teens. Because she wanted to pass her Korean heritage down to her children, Anna and her siblings spent a good portion of their childhoods attending Korean church, sitting in Korean Saturday school, and eating things like Kimchi and Bibimbap.
As I've become closer to Anna and her mom, I've also learned a lot about Korea's political history. The suffering and brainwashing of the North Korean people is no longer something I think about in a "far off, just another bad thing in the world" kind of way. I now have beautiful Korean women in my life whose faces look just like the people who are starving to death 6,000 miles away. And that changes things. Under the communistic regime that has been in place in North Korea for the last 60 years, the living conditions continue to worsen.
This oppression has eternal consequences, as well. Faith in God isn't allowed in North Korea. There are currently between 50,000-70,000 Christians being held in North Korean prison camps, being tortured for their beliefs. According to OpenDoors.com, North Korea has held the top spot for the worst treatment of Christians in the world for the last eight years. Any form of worship outside of worshiping the "Great Leader" ( the late Kim Jong-il, and now, Kim Jong-un) is seen as treason.
So when Kim Jong-il, North Korea's angry, iron fisted dictator, died December 17, it caught my attention, and kept it. I came across this video of the people "mourning" the death of this "Great Leader"—the same man who made their lives a living hell for the past 17 years. What scares me the most is that I can't tell if they are forcing themselves to cry, or if they are brainwashed enough to truly be in mourning.
Compliments of Associated Press
It's horrifying.
Rumors are flying about Kim Jong-il's son, Kim Jong-un, being even more ruthless in his ruling. He doesn't have the training or the experience, so they expect him to be more extreme. As I look at the videos of the starving children, the mourning crowds, and the robotic motions of the people, I'm overwhelmed with sadness.
But as Anna and I have talked about their culture and the people of North Korea, God has reminded me that he is the God of the oppressed. He is the God that brings justice to his people; he is in control. As a matter of fact, he specializes in bringing justice to the crushed and the persecuted. Last night I thought back on all of the injustice that has taken place in our world over just the last 200 years—slavery, child soldiers, concentration camps—and how God has stepped in (in his perfect time), time and again, to bring victory to the oppressed.
I thought about the Israelites being held captive in Egypt, and wondered if they felt hopeless too. I wondered if they thought that their children's children would be slaves. I wonder if they thought that God had abandoned them and couldn't hear their cries.
In Psalm 103:6–7, David wrote these words to remember what God did for the Israelites, hundreds of years before his time: "The LORD gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel."
Sometimes I forget that God hasn't abandoned us on earth; his goodness and mercy extends to our time before we get to heaven. He is the God of the oppressed.
In talking about suffering in the world, David also wrote in Psalm 27:11–14:
"Teach me how to live, O LORD.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me.
"Do not let me fall into their hands.
For they accuse me of things I've never done;
with every breath they threaten me with violence.
"Yet I am confident I will see the LORD's goodness
while I am here in the land of the living.
"Wait patiently for the LORD.
Be brave and courageous.
Yes, wait patiently for the LORD."
My prayer for North Korea is that they will see the goodness of God in their land. I pray that he will bring them to himself as his children, and that he will set these captives free. Please join me in the coming months, and lift these sweet people up to the eyes of heaven. Our God is more than able. And we can have joy in that truth.
Amazing and very informative, as a spoiled American I don't know nearly enough about North Korea as I should!
...and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
Rev 6: 10
Thank you Ashley & Anna!
Thankyou Ashley. The same thoughts whirled through my mind when i saw the north Koreans wailing at the funeral - are they so conditioned by a self-centred despot, that they cry on cue and command ? out of fear because they have never tasted love and compassion freely given but by dictatorship ? We lift these people up to the Almighty who is sovereign, and we pray the walls that prevent others from coming into N Korea shall one day soon be torn down as did the Berlin Wall, as did China's and Russia's thawing, still proceeding.

North Korea fires 25 short-range missiles into East SeaUpdated: 2014-03-17 11:53:23 KST
Another story we are following this afternoon.. is yet another provocation from North Korea.
The North Korean military fired off dozens of short-range missiles into the East Sea on Sunday.
For more, we connect live to our defense ministry correspondent Kim Hyun-bin, who is standing by at the Ministry of National Defense.
Hello Hyun-bin.
Hey Conn-young.
Within the last few hours, defense ministry officials said they think North Korea's missile launches on Sunday were done in response to annual military drills between Seoul and Washington that are still going on.
"North Korea fired off 25 missiles at three different times on Sunday. We view this as an armed protest against our joint military exercises with the U.S. North Korea needs to stop its provocations."
The U.S. State Department said Sunday that it is well aware of the missile launches and urged North Korea to stop its provocations, which it said are escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Pyongyang did not give any prior notification about the launch.
The rockets, which were shot into the East Sea, are believed to have a range of 70 kilometers.
They were launched between 6:20 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., Korea time, from a location near Wonsan along the east coast.
Experts say it's not unusual for North Korea to test-fire missiles, but it is unprecedented for the regime to fire off so many in one day.
Officials in Seoul believe the rockets were Soviet-made surface-to-surface FROGs, which lack precision but are very powerful.
The missiles can carry a 5-hundred-50 kilogram warhead and are capable of delivering high explosive, nuclear or chemical warheads.
The South Korean military and the U.S. have strengthened their surveillance and are urging the North to stop heightening tensions in the region.
As I mentioned, this is just the latest in a series of launches
Over the last few weeks, North Korea has test-fired six Scud missiles along with 11 rockets from multiple rocket launchers.
So officials in Seoul believe this frantic activity of test-firings is linked to North Korea's disapproval of the joint drills between Seoul and Washington?
Yes, the Defense Ministry says these firings are almost certainly in protest against the annual military exercises, which started late last month and will run through mid-April.
Seoul and Washington say the drills are purely defensive, but Pyongyang routinely condemns the drills and calls them a rehearsal for invasion.
These latest rocket launches also came just two days after Pyongyang threatened to demonstrate its nuclear deterrence.
Those comments seem to be a firm indication North Korea may be preparing a fourth nuclear test in the near future.
Back to you guys.
Well, we hope that isn't the case and these test-firings stop once the drills end next month. Thank you, Hyun-bin. That was our Defense Ministry correspondent Kim Hyun-bin reporting on North Korea's test-firing Sunday of 25 short-range missiles.

With just a few trees and a clear view of hotel reception, this wine bar in the lobby of the Four Seasons is less bucolic than the name suggests. Though the list is impressive, with more than 160 international bottles, it's also utterly preposterous. Many selections--including a plump Felsina Riserva chianti--go for $30--$40 a glass (a few less compelling options bottom out at $15). There's also a full lunch menu, which includes straightforward and well-executed classics like a crisp-skinned roasted chicken. If you are staying at the hotel and can afford a drink and a bite here, you'll be satisfied--if utterly uninspired. With L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon located in the same building, you can certainly do better.

Two added to suit over 6-year-old's death
By Sally Voth -- firstname.lastname@example.com
STRASBURG -- Half Moon Beach is being sued for more than $24 million by the family of one of last summer's two drowning victims.
Sunday will mark the one-year anniversary of the drowning of Dakota Lee Hansen, 6, of Culpeper.
Her father, Edward Keith Hansen, the administrator of her estate, filed a lawsuit in Shenandoah County Circuit Court against Half Moon Beach Park Inc., Skyline Paintball, Strasburg Land LLC and Dunmore Land LLC in November.
On Tuesday, Richard D. and Stuart A. Bernstein, co-executors of the estate of Leo Bernstein, and Stanley W. Colton were added to the wrongful death suit, according to court records. Bernstein, who died last year, was president of Half Moon Beach, the filing says, Colton was secretary and both were directors.
Half Moon Beach, which featured swimming in the former quarry, did not reopen this summer.
In addition to Dakota's death, Nathaniel B. King, 26, of Marshall, drowned there July 16, 2008.
According to the lawsuit, Half Moon Beach and Skyline Paintball co-owned and co-operated Half Moon Beach Park, which was leased to them by Strasburg Land and Dunmore Land.
It says the defendants "negligently invited the general public to pay for the use of the Half Moon Beach Park amusement, recreation and swimming facility," but failed to post warning signs that would be intelligible to a 6-year-old.
The suit says Dakota was swimming in the quarry's shallow children's section, which dropped off 15-20 feet at the edge. It accuses the lifeguards of inadequacy.
"[The lifeguards were] eating, talking amongst themselves, talking on cell phones and text messaging their friends without keeping an adequate watch and supervision over swimmers," the lawsuit says.
It says Dakota was survived by her parents and six siblings. The suit seeks $24.35 million.
According to court records, Skyline Paintball denies being co-owner or co-operator of the beach park.
In its answer, Half Moon Beach says Dakota's parents were negligent in her death.
Another filing by the beach says that Dakota had "significantly delayed fine and gross motor skills as well as ADHD with conduct disturbance." It says her parents allowed her to be in the water without an adult, with her father waiting for friends and her mother on the beach with a toddler.
Strasburg Land filed a cross-claim saying that when it leased the property to Skyline Paintball, Skyline agreed to indemnify it against any damages or losses. Any judgment awarded against Strasburg Land should be paid by Skyline, the claim says, because Strasburg Land didn't select, hire or train the lifeguards at the beach.
Strasburg Land also filed a demurrer.
"The primary duty to inform, advise and protect a child against such natural open and obvious danger is upon the parents," it says.
A safety evaluation of the park done by the Strasburg police, fire and rescue departments, along with the state police, was included in the court file. It says at least three lifeguard stations should be in use, rather than just the one when Dakota drowned.
The station being used had visibility issues, the report says. It says two-way radios should be used rather than cell phones, and that lifeguards should be trained regarding issues common to quarries, such as drop-offs, submerged objects and deep water.
On Friday, Colton said he not yet seen the lawsuit.
An attorney representing Dunmore was out of the office on Friday. Attorneys for Skyline Paintball and Half Moon Beach couldn't be reached Friday.
Motions are scheduled to be heard on Thursday, according to court records.

Isaiah Thomas will join the Phoenix Suns via a sign-and-trade deal that gives his old Sacramento Kings squad a $7 million trade exception and the rights to 2013 second-round pick Alex Oriakhi, reports CBS Sports' Ken Berger. Thomas, a restricted free agent, agreed to sign an offer sheet with the Suns worth four years and $27 million before the two teams worked out the intricacies of the trade.
The trade was first reported by Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
Berger also reports the Suns front-loaded Thomas' contract. He will make $7.2 million in the first year of the deal and the salary will decrease from there, a sign Phoenix is fine taking on bigger salaries with loose cap room this year while keeping long-term flexibility down the road.
UPDATE: Thomas's contract will pay him $7,238,606 in 2014-15, $6,912,869 in 2015-16, $6,587,132 in 2016-17 and $6,261,395 in the 2017-18 season, according to ShamSports.
Thomas, the 60th draft pick in 2011, left Sacramento hoping for both a starting gig and starter's money. By technicality, he won't get the former with the Suns, but he'll surely play a significant role as a change-up guard.
As Paul Coro noted on Thursday and other reporters confirmed Friday, the acquisition is not to say Phoenix won't bring back point guard Eric Bledsoe.
The Suns see Thomas as a third guard and likely an upgrade over Ish Smith. Perhaps it leads us to believe that Phoenix is wary about the duo of Bledsoe and Goran Dragic, both of whom struggled to stay healthy last season. Dragic, after running himself into the ground during the season, will go through his Slovenian nation team duties this summer, and Bledsoe's knee history could prove troublesome down the line.
After the Suns drafted point guard Tyler Ennis with the 18th pick in June, general manager Ryan McDonough said adding to the Dragic-Bledsoe backcourt duo was important.
"As you know, we start two guys who I guess would primarily be defined as point guards," he said. "We really value having multiple ball-handlers on the floor. We think our ability to run pick-and-rolls on either side of the floor, and also to push the ball in transition either via the pass or via the dribble, we feel like that's a strength for us. We wanted to keep adding to it. We had some injuries last year to Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe."
The acquisition probably means Smith's non-guaranteed deal will not be picked up. It also puts into question what Phoenix will do with Gerald Green and Archie Goodwin, who fit in a log-jam at shooting guard if Dragic and Bledsoe are playing alongside Thomas.
Thomas averaged 20.3 points and 6.3 assists for the Kings last season.
There's understandably going to be some questions popping up about this signing. Is another trade to follow? Why pay so much for a backup point guard?
For perspective: The man the Kings signed that pointed Thomas' way out of Sacramento was Darren Collison, who on average will be making just $1.5 million less per season.

Boxoffice of April 19, 1947, reported that Frank and Floyd Smith had sold a half interest in their Wayne Theatre at Corydon to the Iowa United Theatres circuit. The item said that the Smith brothers had arrived in Corydon and built the Wayne in 1936.
A September 19, 1977, Boxoffice item said that Bud Kelly had permanently closed the Wayne Theatre on August 1, so the house must have been dark for more than a decade after that.

Jan Kopinski has 25 years experience in performing and recording as leader and producer within a number of projects.These include PINSKI ZOO, MIRRORS REFLEKTOR LIVE SOUNDTRACKS to film, KOPINSKI & KONIKIEWICZ GHOSTMUSIC PINSKI ZOO 7, PZBASSCORP, JAN KOPINSKI QUARTET.
Jan has toured extensively in the UK as well as Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, France, Austria, Italy, Norway and New York; he has also recorded various sessions for radio, fillm and TV. His RECORDINGS, 11 albums and 2 singles include, -PINSKI ZOO EARTH ZONE K GHOST MUSIC
Jan is a singular musician who has followed a personal path, in a search of an expressive sax sound earning him a reputation as a true original.Born in the UK his father was a Polish bomber pilot and his mother Anglo-Irish. The home was uncoventional and a little odd but there was plenty of stimulating influences both musically and artistically. Although Jan tried guitar and harmonica when the UK got the blues bug, it was when he came under the spell of John Coltrane's My Favourite Things epic recording in the mid sixties that Jan took up saxophone seriously. First on a white Grafton acrylic alto then on soprano and tenor. He was studying Fine Art at Art College and after finding employment scarce, had plenty of time to woodshed. This long period of study was an end in itself. It didn't seem necessary to gig. It was in the late 70's that he started his own groups to create the settings for his later work. The first band, LAST CALL, proved a solid training ground, playing here and in France. In 1980, with co-founder keyboard player Steve Iliffe, they formed the almost legendary PINSKI ZOO....

When it comes to bridging the gap between workers and employers, the Center of Workforce Innovations (CWI) in Valparaiso, which serves as the staff to the Northwest Indiana Workforce board and regional operator of WorkOne Northwest Indiana, has been the impetus behind a number of initiatives that will help put our high school students on the right track to getting the training and/or additional education they need to fill the jobs that are now in demand.
As more and more available jobs remain unfilled because employers cannot find qualified workers, especially as economic factors and technological advances continue to reshape the job landscape, it's never too soon to prepare young people for joining the workforce after high school or college.
With an eye on seizing new opportunities in a new economy, CWI, in conjunction with the Northwest Indiana Workforce Board, formed a coalition of local leaders from education, industry and business who all agreed on the importance of setting regional priorities when it comes to college and career readiness.
"We set the stage with some conversations over three years ago," Linda Woloshansky, CWI President and CEO, explained. "Everyone was on the same page from day one. Our focus is on the need for increasing educational attainment levels as a prerequisite for job and income growth throughout the region. Once READY NWI, the Regional Education/Employer Alliance for Developing Youth initiative, was firmly established, we created a plan and started implementing it."
With an eye on the high-quality jobs emerging in northwest Indiana, the group is focused on the specific credentials important to employers – now and in the future.
"No one group can do this themselves," Woloshansky added. "We all aspire to the same goal, and that's to make sure our young people are ready for their careers. We know what needs to be done and how funding can help get it done. That's really important with the financial situation in our schools right now."
For example, CWI's WorkEthic Program seeks to show high school students the importance of soft skills in preparing for future jobs. Based on a curriculum that blends theory and practical experience, students who complete a 12-hour work-ethics course can earn a WorkEthics Certificate.
"We see this as something that will give our students an edge," Valparaiso High School Counselor Roberta Garcia said. "Being able to take that certificate to an employer – some of our students are holding jobs now and not all of them will go to college – it shows that they have what it takes to be a good worker."
Northwest Indiana employers all point to the importance of soft-skill and work-ethic standard, and the fact that high school students need to clearly understand how they relate to success in the workplace. Soft skills include aspects such as commitment, discipline, organization, attendance, punctuality or timeliness, respectfulness and teamwork. In order to operate effectively, companies need all of their workers to understand soft skills and put them into action each and every workday.
Garcia will be introducing the program to juniors this fall.
"We're going to be talking to our students ahead of the regularly-scheduled college prep meeting with parents in the spring," she explained. "We'll be discussing careers and what they need to know about getting to the next step. That's how we're going to introduce this opportunity for them. Right now we're looking at having three or four teachers sign off and verify a number of the key elements. With seven periods in a day, that's confirmation from 60-70 percent of their day."
Another innovative project being led by READY NWI, with funding generously provided by Fifth Third Bank, is the production of 25 Career Path videos.
"This series is going to cover everything from banking and manufacturing to healthcare and logistics plus entrepreneurs and artists," Craig Pratt, Fifth Third Bank's Senior Executive for Northern Indiana, who learned about the project and READY NWI during a conversation with Mark Maassel, President and CEO of the Northwest Indiana Forum, said. "We were talking about some things where we can make a difference in business, specifically the need to train our people in jobs that are needed. In order to do that, we have to inform our youth about the opportunities here. All of the employers see the need for a workforce trained to meet their needs now and into the future."
Each video will include an introduction from the CEO or other key person, a discussion about the type of jobs and work readiness skills from a human resources perspective and three to five employee interviews.
"We're looking for inspiring stories from young people that high school kids can relate to," Pratt explained. "They will be describing what their jobs are like, what it took for them to get the job and their chosen career paths – what types of post-secondary training and/or education was required."
Because math and science skills are becoming more critical in today's heavily technology-driven workplace, READY NWI is especially concerned with linking college and career standards to what is being taught in our classrooms.
"There's definitely more of a focus on what employers need," Hobart High School Teacher Jon Brumley said. "I teach calculus, pre-calc and physics. From my end, I've been working to align and update my syllabus with Purdue North Central's dual credit class requirements. Also, new this year, we are going to spend some time with our juniors and seniors to address something that doesn't normally get addressed in the normal class day. Once every three weeks during the homeroom period, students will investigate a career path they are interested in pursuing. They'll have the opportunity to learn more about what happens beyond high school, with information on what they need to do to achieve what they want – hopefully it's a motivator."
With the region's unemployment rate hovering around 9.9 percent, about 39,000 people are out of work. However many businesses, including manufacturers, are having a hard time finding qualified employees to fill open positions. The team committed to READY NWI is poised to change all that – sooner rather than later.
