LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lenders seized more U.S. homes this summer than in any three-month stretch since the housing market began to bust in 2006. But many of the foreclosures may be challenged in court later because of allegations that banks evicted people without reading the documents.

12 for 12: Emerson Burkhart
June 27, 2012 at
Columbus native Emerson Burkhart believed all the world could be painted in Columbus and once declared, "I don't need to go anywhere, it's all here." Burkhart is the next in our 12 for 12 series, our Columbus Bicentennial series highlighting Columbus artists from the Columbus Museum of Art permanent collection.
Burkhart was a dedicated painter of the American Scene, a school of artists from the Midwest in 1930s and 1940s whose league also included Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood and John Steuart Curry. Burkhart worked on murals for the Works Progress Administration including murals on display at the Greater Columbus Convention Center and OSU's Stillman Hall.
"To come upon a painting by Burkhart, even in so fine a collection as that of the Columbus Museum of Art, is to feel that one has stumbled on something very special that others have missed," CMA Folk Art Curator Michael Hall says in his book Emerson Burkhart: An Ohio Painter's Song of Himself.
In this piece by Emerson Burkhart, The Confused Process of Becoming (Portrait of Roman Johnson), Burkhart painted fifty-four slashes on the back of the canvas to denote each session he worked on the painting.

It's extremely useful as it takes the guesswork out of how much water has passed through the system, as well as how long it's been since the filters were changed. It contains five different alarms; each controllable by time and/or volume. Just beware of one thing. If you need to change any of the parameters do it before using the unit. If you change a parameter it will reset the counter for that item. It would be much better if you could change the parameter without necessarily resetting the counter. Not worth it By Mark on 12/11/2010 Mark would recommend this product to a friend I should have done more homework on this one. Although it works as advertised it does not help monitor your water quality as much as a couple TDS meters and clear canisters to see when the filters are dirty. Spend your money on more filters and don't bother with this meter. Complete filter tracking By Philip on 11/14/2010 Philip would recommend this product to a friend This is great!...It monitors 5 different stages and lets you complete control over the setup up for each stage. Tracks time and total water usage. Alerts you the proper time to change your filters. Very easy to use No guess solution for tracking filter use. By William on 3/26/2010 William would recommend this product to a friend I would highly recommend this filter monitor if you have a RO system designed for Chloramines. It takes the guess work out of tracking how much water has gone through the different stages of the filter. Also the unit is quite compact.

Customary Units
The metric system is great for the science lab, but if you live in the United States, you probably stop using it once class has ended. When you go to the doctor's office, your height is measured in feet and inches, and your weight is measured in pounds. Street signs show distances in miles, and at the supermarket, practically everything is sold by the pint, quart, gallon, or ounce. In this BrainPOP movie on converting customary units, Tim and Moby explain exactly what all these measurements are, where they come from, and how they're used. You'll discover why the metric system is a lot easier to master than the customary system that's popular in America. And you'll get down to the nitty-gritty and learn how many feet are in a mile, how many ounces are in a pound, and how many pints are in a gallon. So put down that two-liter bottle of soda, pick up a quart of milk, and click on this movie!

Read: JT Miller Had Two Assists Today/Best Game Of Tournament
Early this morning, JT Miller had two assists as Team USA beat Slovakia 9-3 in the World Junior Championships.
Miller was 14 of 18 on faceoffs, with three shots on goal and a plus two rating.
Chris Peters writes at the United States of Hockey that Miller played his best game of the tournament today and it was the exact kind of game that he needed to have heading into the medal round. He said that this was the version of Miller that Team USA was expecting to have all tournament, "he clicked better on the power play and got back to getting pucks to the net and utilizing his speed instead of relying on his skill."
In an interview with Hockey's Future, Miller says that the games at the WJC remind him of playing in the AHL and he feels he has picked up a step playing in this tournament.

ThinkFun has returned from an incredible week in Knoxville, TN where we helped sponsor the Destination ImagiNation Global Finals! This massive celebration showcased creative problem solving at its finest, bringing together over 20,000 kids and adults from 1,276 teams – 45 states, 7 Canadian provinces, and 13 countries!
The DI Global Finals brings together top teams from all over the world whose participants have made it through many rounds of competition to get here. We met teams who had driven over 20 hours to get there, (and from their energy upon arrival we are guessing this was a very spirited ride!), and we met kids in the US for the very first time who had flown in from China, Korea, Guatemala, and Poland!
Throughout the week, teams present their unique challenge (chosen from the 6 options provided at the start of the year) and also showcase their think-on-your-toes problem-solving skills in an Instant Challenge. Hats off to the master scheduler who was able to slot in 2,552 unique performance times for all the participating teams, an amazing feat of problem solving if I've ever seen one!
When teams weren't presenting, there was LOADS of fun to be had all over the University of Tennessee Campus, with activities that included outdoor concerts, family camps, a Duct Tape Costume Ball (yes, you read that right!), a Glo Ball (featuring enough neon body paint and glow sticks to light a stadium!), the Improv Fiesta, and so much more!
ThinkFun was thrilled to be featured in the EXPO Hall, where we set up a booth dedicated to PLAY! Luckily, these kids are experts in the field, and we had a blast playing with thousands of kids from all over the world throughout the week.
We set up dozens of hands-on games, presented giant brainteasers, challenged teams to step into human-sized versions of classic ThinkFun games, and featured team versions of classics like Rush Hour. Want more? Here's a quick video of our booth in action!
ThinkFun was thrilled to partner with Destination ImagiNation to support this year's Global Finals, and we are very excited to continue working with this incredible network of innovative kids all over the world! One thing's for sure – I'll never look at a roll of duct tape quite the same again!
"More!" you say?! Here's a great collection of photos from the week!

Transfer Student Issues
Answers To Students' FAQ
7. I'm a transfer student, and I took philosophy courses at my other school. When I received my transcript from Hunter, it designates "see department" next to some of my courses. What do I need to do?
You may have your courses evaluated for their Hunter equivalency by visiting a department adviser during office hours, but note that you need to do this only if you wish to have the course count for a specific requirement or if you need the course as a prerequisite for another course for which you are trying to register. Otherwise, the transcript will reflect that you have been granted the credits, and the course or courses will count toward your electives.
To complete the equivalency evaluation process, you'll need: 1) a copy of your Hunter transcript, 2) a description of the course, either from the syllabus or the college catalogue, and 3) a Hunter "Course Equivalency Form" (available on the table in front of the Philosophy Department office). You should bring all of these documents with you when you visit a Department advisor.
It is strongly recommended that you discuss these matters with a representative from Student Services prior to seeking course equivalencies, because some courses might be equivalent to multiple Hunter offerings. Student Services will be in the best position to evaluate your transcript as a whole and to advise you how to maximize your existing credits for meeting Hunter requirements.
8. I'm a transfer student, and I took many philosophy courses at my other school. What do I need to do to receive my Philosophy degree from Hunter?
You should speak directly with an advisor as soon as possible to ascertain which of your courses will fulfill Departmental requirements. A maximum of 12 credits from other institutions may be utilized in pursuit of your Philosophy degree at Hunter. An advisor can discuss your interests and plans with you, and will assist you with maximizing the credits you have earned.

By Larry Shaughnessy
The signs were there. Fuel trucks at the launch site, rocket stages being assembled. All supported North Korea's claims that sometime between December 10 and 22, it would launch a small satellite into orbit. Or was going to try.
But Sunday the regime admitted technical details will likely delay what was looking to be the first time the reclusive communist regime had attempted two long-range rocket or missile tests in one year. The launch window was extended by a week because of technical issue with the first-stage rocket engine, according to a report published Monday in the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.
The scenario has left the U.S. military in a 'wait and see' mode regarding whether North Korea can correct its mistakes so quickly following a failed attempt in April.
"To the degree that they will be more successful than they were last time in such a short period of time and what they've done to correct it, I can't tell you how they assess that," said Adm. Samuel Locklear, commander of the U.S. Pacific Command. "Should they choose to go ahead with it, we'll just have to see how it goes."
The delay might indicate that short turnaround was problematic. The April satellite launch failed spectacularly shortly after the engines started.
Read more about April failure.
"I think it went a minute or so," said David Wright, who has followed North Korea's launches for years as a senior scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "It's hard to do even for an advanced country."
Western observers aren't even sure what went wrong with that attempt.
"My sense is that what must have happened is, the first stage consists of four engines, all of which are supposed to work at the same time," Wright said. "And there's some indication that all four of those were not working correctly and that it was starting to lose power and veer off its trajectory."
That trajectory, unlike previous launches, was in a southern direction over the East China Sea. The goal was to put a satellite into a Polar orbit.
It appears from the North Korean announcement that this next launch will follow the same course.
"They said they still have a second copy of the satellite they were trying to put up, so I think this is basically just a do over," Wright said.
But from a major launch failure to a second attempt, even with the same trajectory and payload, in just eight months is a very short turnaround.
"It's possible it was easy for them to identify, that a part failed or something like that," Wright said.
So is a nation that can barely feed its people capable of a quick "do over" by itself?
"That's the $10,000 question we've been trying to answer. It's pretty clear that North Korea and Iran have been talking, collaborating," Wright said.
"There certainly appears that there has been some trade of information between the two of them. It's very hard to know whether they called in for some help from Iran or whether they've just basically been going through this themselves," he said.
Locklear was vague about whether the U.S. military believes the North Koreans are getting help.
"I think that they have progressively gained better technology over time and they have progressively gained that through a number of methods over a number of years and decades," Locklear said at a recent Pentagon press conference.
China is believed to aid the North Korean military with some equipment though not necessarily launch technology. A Chinese missile transport truck was seen carrying a long range missile during a Pyongyang parade.
Read more about Chinese truck.
"I'm sure there's been some help coming from China. I don't know, you know, the exact extent of that," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Congress last spring.
The Navy has dispatched two warships to the region that are equipped to track whatever North Korea may attempt to launch.
The United States considers the launch destabilizing to the region and the "international security environment," Locklear said.
"Our assessment is that their desire to continue down this road is motivated by their desire to ensure that their capability - and they're now a self-proclaimed nuclear state - their ability to be able to demonstrate to the world that they have the capacity to be able to build missiles and have the missile technology to be able to use it in ways of their choosing down the road," Locklear said.
Wright said relations on the Korean Peninsula seem to be driving the schedule of the launch, not global politics or scientific advancements by its rocket engineers.
He explained that developments by South Korea are likely also contributing to the rush to launch.
"South Korea has for a number of years been trying to launch their own satellite ... they were supposed to have tried a launch on November 29," Wright said.
South Korea "had technical problems and postponed that until spring, But clearly from North Korea's point of view, if they could launch a satellite before South Korea that would be a real feather in their cap," he said.
Concentrate on farming, basket weaving, refridgerator manufacturing. Not only are these things easier to lick, the people will approve. Fireworks displays are also exciting, and cheaper. C'mon North Korea.........any nation can wake up.........why not you? A chicken in every pot !
It's not a matter of whether or not the rocket test will fail, which it surely will. The question at hand is if North Korea will admit that the test failed. Typically they just claim it's successful and move on. However last time they invited world press to the event and even admitted that the test failed. It will be interesting to see if they simply admit to failure again or if this time around they provlaim the test was a success.
I think it be an interesting move if Obama or Hillary called their bluff and proposed that if they suspend their ICBM program we'll pay the russians to take one of them into space.
So you must be a time traveller then? You've seen the future? How do you know it will fail?
N.Korea and Iran combine is the worse engineering. Of course it will fail. Have you seen Iran's worse freeway ever? Check it out on YouTube...
Rockets for food, who cares if they all starve, as long as they get into space. So Solly.
People are always saying "It's not rocket science", but maybe it is.
I think I see the problem, the forgot to put the "estes" stickers on. Just a few more "d " engines and they'll be all high tech. I imagine a few of their starving repressed citizenry will feel threatened enough by their armed guards to muster the fear and adrenaline necessary to clap and smile painfully regardless of how this ridiculous waste of their resources goes.
How great would it be if they nuked themselves?
I like the way you think.
I'll second to that... Wait matches required?
nah, they're just gonna try to unsuccessfully try and launch a nuclear missile platform into space. it's going to fall to earth and start off a chain reaction that leads to world war 3. one of the shortest wars in history as the nukes begin flying everywhere. set your calendars for 12 21 12. a date which conveniently falls in their launch window.
These people are not easily going to go away . . .
It's not the "people" of North Korea....it's the dictator running the show.
"Pyongyang, we have a problem" kinda brings a tear to the eye...
Build a safety net around South Korea like exists in Israel and bomb North Korea out of existence.
Another brain-dead chickenhawk heard from.
This is just a delay tactic because the North Korean scientists know that when the rocket fails they'll be sent to prison or executed.
agreed but you forgot to add "or starved or have their families effected too"
A valid point – the poor buggers. Almost makes me wanna see them succeed. Almost.
The country is on the brink of starvation, and 'great leader' dreams of being a space power.
Sounds like a bad Stephen King novel, doesn't it?
Actually, sounds like a Roger Moore era bad James Bond movie plot.
Another rice burner fails to launch?
Wow, how eloquently put.
i hope the rocket detours and lands on the U.S. whitehouse.... of course i also hope they evacuate in time
Problem #1 It was made in Korea
viva north korea!
Problem with your rocket? Try Viagra!
I think we should send back that gangaman style guy back to him home country,and strap HIM to a rocket and see it explode lol
Plus,KimJOngSUn loves entertainment and stuff
That's SOUTH Korea.
........Actually, the problem wasnt with the rocket itself......................The problem was a factor of how many fully fed NK's would be needed to load the ........RUBBERBAND......................
................THINK............"Squash the BUG".........................if ya dont know,..............dont ask.
So, after seeing this, like many other failures of the NK'ans, and making fun of them on this board to your stomach's fill, will you keep believing Washington that NK is such a big threat that would keep justifying spending billions to defend against them, while many in the US go hungry – I kid you not, check the facts – many in the US live in poverty, but at least their country is capable of defending itself against the NK power.
They should stick to building tonka toys. That's about all they can handle.
and you should drink bleach
Estes makes great model rockets. Maybe North Korea should start there.
As repressive as the North Korean regime is, I would hate to be the lead scientists working on this. Kinda tough to keep coming up with reasons why they continue to have problems with the rockets.
it will happen dont let the u.s.a fool you the date is and will be on DEC17, 2012 for sure
What a great day for N. Korea. Too bad they are decades late to the game. Our rockets (ICBMs) don't fail to take off. Russia has had satellites since the 50s. Is this supposed to impress or scare anyone? Maybe they should spend more money, ya know, feeding their starving population and such.
Well,I dont think the NOrth Korean people know about all that,seeing how they are an oppressed regime.
I'm sure they are told that nobody has ever done this before and North Korea will be the first ones to build a real-life vehicle that can reach to the Heavens and send a device that can speak to to grand-father of the current leader.
This IS the country where the last leader told his people he could control the weather with his emotions,and had an invisable cell-phone where he can control the olympic team lol
Couldn't find a bottle?
Nobody brought any matches to light the fuse.
Guess they need to pay the engineers a bit more! I'd certainly now work very hard on it If I was not being paid enough. It will flop again.
I could sell them my technology... Stick the thing in a large plastic tube, fill the base with hair spray or OFF mosquito spray and then ignite the thing with the switch from my bbq grill.
Heck it worked fine when I launched a perfect 6 inch round, 9 inch long potato into Canada over the Rainy River from Baudette Minnesota. We could just up scale it a little bit and when it came back down it would be ready eat.
So...you're the one that got my second helping of mashed potatoes!!! A little hard on the landing over here in Canada, but hey, it was bbq season and I had my plate in my hands. Thank you neighbour! :-)
Few days back Pakistan tested a long range rocket which is based on this N Korean ding dong. That test failed and only sheer luck saved hundreds of Pakistani villagers. At that time people started wondering if N Korea will test the very same rocket (albeit modified by Pakistan) without first analyzing the cause for the Pakistani missile failure. Now it looks like they are proved correct and N Korea wants to find out what went wrong with the Paki missile before firing off their own missile. They dont like to lose 'face'
Paki is a slur
The N-Ks aren't serious about these dates anyway. They've been trading technology with the Mayans, not the Iranians. Their just preparing their last round of fireworks.
It's rocket science, what is the big deal North Korea. I am willing to bet that if you really tried you could be a lot more successful treating your people like human beings. Putting in clean drinking water systems and helping them to feed themselves. That would be the place to start. Them maybe you could step out into the world and start participating as apposed the treating to blow everyone up. Your starting in the wrong place. And chances are if this thing does get off the ground it will never reach orbit. Stop wasting money and start waking up to the global 21st century.
Tough to get ahead when you have to murder all your scientist's after each failure. Should have the Old Man write a book on rocketry back in University, along with the 1500 other books he "wrote".
ahmadinejad couldnt get sungs rocket off...
iran failed again...
Asians, especially north koreans have no rockets in their pockets....so of course they cant launch a rocket....
Can only hope they nuke themselves and radiate their nation for many years to come.
"nuke themselves and radiate their nation for many years to come" Are you kidding? These people are like lab rats in cages. We need to knock down their awful government and let them go free.
It's not the people of North Korea. They're under a dictator (and I'm being kind by adding "tator"). Try reading more about it and learn.
The "ugly Asians" as they're known as.
ugly maybe, but at least they dont terrorize countries like the americans do on a steady basis, i think the americans have killed more innocent people than any "terrorist" organization would have
Ssssshhhhhh!!!!!..................you'll wake the Clovers.
If we're not careful, North Korea will end up faking spaceflight better than NASA. If that happens, our tax-funded entertainment for the sake of 'science' will be immensely challenged. All they have to do is make a successful launch into orbit, and the rest is fakery.....
Wow, is that tinfoil hat a little tight?
What does it say about the state of our nation when an 'expert' can not string together a reasonable sentence. One sentence contains the word "able" or a closely related work like capable six times and also says that "their desire is motivated by their desire..."." Such babble just makes me cringe.
You must be referring to David Wright "senior scientist"...some of his less than stellar quotes:
"I think it went a minute or so,"
"so I think this is basically just a do over,"
"a part failed or something like that,"
"That's the $10,000 question we've been trying to answer"
As I was reading I thought surely CNN was duped by some 16 yr old calling himself a senior scientist.
I see now that you were actually referring to Adm. Samuel Locklear's quotes. Hard to believe our country's leaders sound like a bunch of illiterates. Most of this article sounds dumbed down.
Let's say they succeed in launch...
The next story will be, NK satellite mysteriously "collides" with another "satellite" upon entering orbit.
I am sure Toys R Us can sent them one of those model rocket kits with engines and everything they need to get a functional rocket to fire, even if they have to only walk 100 yards to retrieve it, at least they can fire it again if they purchase more engines. In that field they need to learn to crawl before they try and walk.
so is when is it going to explode and fail again?
Performance issues...that's not uncommon in North Korea I hear...
The actual launch date is December 21. Sheesh, whaddya need us to do? Write it down in stone?
The guy with the matchbox who lights the rocket has defected to South Korea!
I'm pretty sure obama will sent you their parts. he gives everything away here
The North Koreans have not changed-Remember the Korean war-the Korean soldiers had a passion for shooting American soldiers while their hands were tried behind their backs.
I'm sure the UN will send them the right parts.
No one had fuel in their zippo to light the fuse
Don't be ashamed, North Korea. It's not uncommon to have a little "rocket trouble." All you need is a little understanding.
Maybe they should ask their magic unicorns for help.
I have the news on the delay straight from the little fat guy in charge. The delay was caused by the fact that when all the rocket stages were delivered to the launch site, someone forgot to make the second stage of the rocket. Nyuk...nyuk...nyuk!
People need to quit worrying whether it will go but should be wondering where it will come down.I wonder if it can reach Iran?
"once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department, says Werner Von Braun"
Ah me, moderated out. AGAIN!!!! Gee, The Los Angeles Times occasionally publishes my letters. See Nov. 29, 2012.
You will be okay now, all the regular help is back.The ones with chips on their shoulders work on weekends.
Guys, you are being auto-moderated. Google the word CLBUTTIC and you will see what I mean. Avoid certain words and you are fine.
"Technical Issue": In North Korea, this means that the crew responsible for winding up the rubber band propulsion system were unable to complete the task due to starvation.
Wasn't there a movie portraying their rockets? I believe it was called "Failure to Launch"...
From the looks of that launch pad, it would be a feat if they could even launch a kite from there.
"If at first you don't succeed..."
sure it will work, so long as the rubberband is wound tight enough and the hamster is awake
North Korea dudes . . . you don't need rockets, nobody is going to attack you. Why don't you use the $$$ you spend on rockets to feed your hungry children ? Nobody is interested in attacking your rocky, crusty little country so get a clue !
Yes, they sure are wasting their money unlike the United States that went to war looking for imaginary WMDs.
I shot an Arrow into the air
It fell to earth I know not where,
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
– by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
They have run out of matches to light it!
Shouldn't they be concentrating their scientific efforts on increasing agricultural yields?!
The satilite was so their farmers could get the weather channel.
NK prefects the ICBM. Iran perfects the bomb. Syria. Egypt, Jordon supply the invasion forces. Just call me paranoid. Hopefully the US warship will undergo a simulated shoot down of the missle.
Right DowChuck. And the numbers on the back of stop signs are to guide the UN troops when they invade. Get a shrink or at least a hobby.
You are paranoid.
I thought "Sum Ting Wong" was canned after the last failed attempt. surprised to hear he's going to try it again.
Perhaps the reason that the NK's can attempt again so soon is that they don't have to worry about the bloody bureaucracy getting in the way with such meaningless regulations or concerns as safety.
Their biggest advance this time is switching from coal to LP gas. Kim explained that they are now exploring new methods of launching ocean satellites so it will be considered a success!
their plan is to fill the pacific with failed launches so that their troops can march to the US
good one
Maybe Mitt Romney shook hands with it.
Yeah, Mitt was born under a bad sign. This obviously ain't his year.
I guess that little chubby guy doesn't look threatening enough to cause the rocket to launch. No matter how stupid north korea looks to the world they fantasize they look cool. A bunch of under achivers who in reality are the infected pimples on the anus of society. BJNJ
To BJNJ....LOVE your post! I got a real belly laugh!
They seem to have forgotten the rockets power source, two AA batteries..
radioshack was closed
Apparently balsa wood is not the best material for a multi-stage rocket.
Rather than spending money moving war ships into the region every time they have a launch, or even worse, criticizing them for doing exactly what the US and Russia did during the formation of their space program; multiple failures. Why not offer to put it up for them after the payload is inspected to make certain that it is just a weather satellite and Invite them into the international community in a limited capacity, something they do not seem likely to do on their own.
WHY IN HELL would we help those sob's?
Oh boy, are you green.
I am Green, meaning not afraid of creating real change. You would have us bomb them right? Or rather threaten to, knowing full well that we won't.
Yep lets teach a sworn enemy how to make successful rockets. That way they can use the rocket to launch a nuke with it later on. How friggin dense are you? You never give an enemy any information. You only give an alley information if it benefits our goals.
You obviously did not read the post. I never advocated showing them how to make rockets. One the contrary, I made a comment on how they would have no need for rockets. Imagine if China, its ally, put the satellite up for them. China would certainly not allow us to inspect the payload. Make no mistake, it's only a matter of time and they will get it into orbit. Would you rather have no idea what it really is? Stop being so naïve, the world can, and more recently, does operate without the influence of the US. I fully agree that North Korea with any missiles is a bad idea. There is an opportunity for a peaceful solution here; the question is will it be our opportunity or China's? Egypt has already made us look unnecessary when dealing with the Palestinians. China can easily do the same. I think it will more likely be China that eventually diffuses the situation, making the US look like an ineffective force in the region. We can sit back with our finger on the trigger with the whole world knowing that we won't actually do anything to North Korea, because Washington is afraid of a one million man army, or we can try something new. I know one thing; the standard response of doing nothing does not work.
Well said.
Did they contract a Chinese company for parts? :)
Wow.. they can arbitrarily extend a launch window for a satellite launch? Who knew? lol
I'm glad that the US govt has finally got its head out of the sand about China being directly responsible for all of North Korea's military macho idiot behavior while officially denying any involvement. Europe and NATO needs to send a financial message to China that enough is enough. China should stop stirring up trouble for themselves via North Korea. I can't believe the bozos in charge trust Communist China, as if it were no longer a scion of Mao. Look at the regular malicious espionage and hacking from China that occurs on a daily basis against the US.
I totally agree. Canada has just approved the sale of a huge oil concern to China....unbelievable!! Thank God I won't be around when they eventually take over the world. There's just too many of them not to be able to do it.
well stupid ! Obuma turned the oil deal down and left us with no choice!
When you are 3 months due on you rent, you can't really complain to the landlord about his friend's loud party down the hall. As long as China is lending US money, I don't think US can do more than yell at the neighbor from the street.
The USA owes China back the money that it put on its books, conjured out of thin air? Is it me or does it not make any sense to pay back money that they never had to begin with. Yuan/Renminbi is a fiat note. You take your book with $0 in it and tell everyone that you have $1,000,000,000. How is the US late on rent to China. Look at the real numbers and you'll see that China owns a miniscule portion of American debt. Most of US debt is owed back to....the USA. It's a fact, go ahead and do your fact checking. Most Americans don't know Alaska from the Phillipines; that's clear from reading some of these posts online thinking that US owes China back money it conjured out of thin air. The US does owe China equitable payments based on what they actually have, not what they fake. The US should pay this much fairly as a fair and honest country, but why would it pay back something made dishonestly they do not owe.
Hey-they're still doing better than India with their "Burning Cow-Dung-Powered" orbital vehicle.
What will the pakis do now with all the green paint that they bought?
Someone in NK put the sign on wrong..."This End Up".
"Aim Pointy End Toward Space."
Its not so much that there putting up a satellite, its about thrust capabilities on there rocket.Remember you take off a satellite and put on warheads you now have a ICBM and our allies in the region will start beating the "War drum"and we all know who answers that call.The whole story smells bad considering they
try to figure out on a daily basis:Food, electricity, clean water, and do the most illogical thing everyday.
You no good use Engrish
One creative idea would be to, just for ONCE, RE-ACTIVATE the Y-ABL (airborne laser mounted afront of a 747–look at Google) that the government has in storage to SHOOT that missle down, if it does launch. North Korea will NEVER expect it, they don't have the technological know-how to even understand how to detect what has happened, and it would be a BIG political statement from the U.S. that "yeah, you have a missile, but *WE* (as in the U.S.) can SHOOT IT DOWN and there is NOTHING you can do about it.
Then maybe that PIGLET son can order some more pizzas, get more FAT, and ride more horses for political posters...
Tony: If you read up on this laser weapon, you will see that in order to shoot down a missile in boost phase, i.e. when the missile is still well inside the country of origin, the 747 would need to be also inside that country in some kind of figure-8 holding pattern, within 300km of the launch site – because the laser they developed doesn't have nearly enough power to be fired from, say, 1000 miles away. So you're proposing a lumbering, ducks-in-a-barrel target like a 747 fly around inside NK, waiting for a chance to shoot down a missile? I'm sure even the NK could handle that situation.
What the US =should= be working on is a rail gun weapon that can fire from a space orbit (and maybe they are).
"What the US =should= be working on is a rail gun weapon that can fire from a space orbit (and maybe they are)." If we knew China was building that, we would attack at once. Nobody's making space weapons because we don't all want to die. That's also why there's no moonbase; a moonbase would control Earth's skies.
better hurry NK only 11 days left before the sun knocks out all the power grids on earth. too late then!
"Why rocket no fry?"
"Dat's da probrem, dey ARE frying!"
"No, not fry. *FRY*!"
Not the "craw," the Craw!
Lil Donged One has "trouble with his rocket"? Hahahahahahhaha
Can't get it up and when it does it shoot branks.
No No
The main problem is it prematurely detonates just like Aaaackbar the terrorist did.
they can't find a big enough rubber band?
Hey Dufuss's,
Do you guys know what a directed energy weapon does to a satellite launch??? The same thing it did to the last one!!!
We're not shooting down their rockets, Dickie. They just don't know Jack about ballistics.
Theses clowns couldn't launch a bottle rocket from a bottle.
They need to use a bigger sling-shot.
Will blow themselves up?
One can only hope!
Have they determined what the satellite is "designed for"? If thye US determine that it poses national security risk for us, i wouldn't be surprised if the satellite "had an accident"-either pre-launch...or once in space
its non of your business, "americans" think they run the world, well ya maybe for now but america will fall just like the rest of the "empires" no doubt
"america will fall just like the rest of the "empires" no doubt" Says a guy who lives in Never Never Land with a bunch of pirates and fairies. Dream on; we will endure. "Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
ninety percent of all rocket problems are traced to low potency
What you are shooting at can make a huge difference as well. Perhaps they need a more attractive target zone?
It is very ironic to me that many of the people posting on the NK launch are US citizens who are notoriously bad at science and math. You want to give a few NK engineers a hard time for driving a third world country into the space age? These guys are more successful in that pitiful country than you are in the richest and most privileged country in the world.
Don't blame the people for the failures of their dirtbag government.
You really have no idea of what your talking about. Math and secience? We have an SUV sized rover on Mars genius. And it's working perfectly. Now on to a wonderful day with intelligent people.
So you are implying that the US drove the Curiosity rover over to Mars? Or perhaps they had FedEx drop it off?
Nah, FedEx would have thrown the thing into a Martian's front yard and broke it.
"Don't blame the people for the failures of their dirtbag government."
Just so. This a good thing for all of the US-bashers to remember. Don't denigrate the people when the government is the failure.
Having said that, this is another NK flying chamberpot that is headed directly for the drink.
"Don't blame the people for the failures of their dirtbag government."
Which gov't are we talking about here, US or NK? So hard to tell them apart these days.
OUCH!! Where do you come from?
For someone making a ignoramus comment, comparing the United States Government with North Korea Government, doesn't have a single clue what they're talking about. Even if the U.S. Gov made mistakes and have issues, that doesn't compare to a country that restricts every single idea and gets torture for saying it. (Or the whole family gets sent off to a Work Camp.) There's nothing to compare between the US and NK Country, Government, idea, etc etc...... At least our goverment will give us the right to say F.U. to them.
Ty is right in the sense that both are warmongers and foolishly spend a lot on defense while some of their ppl live below the poverty line. But wrong in the sense that US is rich while NK is poor, and the US is much more in debt than NK while NK can't even borrow money, so technically no debt.
"OUCH!! Where do you come from?" Tea Bag Fairy Land, where everything is upside-down.
So funny. Who is the one reading the US news website on the US created internet?
On a completely different note, NK can have their stupid rockets. I have successfully launched more rocket-based projectiles on the 4th of July then they have in their entire existence. Why they don't borrow their designs from those, we will never know. its a better starting point than a rubber band or compressed air.
"These guys are more successful in that pitiful country than you are" They have to turn the electricity off every night by 9pm to save money. I'm talking the whole country goes dark. Good luck with that.
Really, does anything work right in that country anymore?
Of course. The people in the labor camps are working their tails off.
and in other news americans getting fatter and fatter from being lazy and over doing it on fast food
this just in americans cant go to space anymore as their rockets cant handle their fat asses
OK first off your comment was a load of crap. Secondly you might want to direct that comment to someone that is applies to. I a guarantee that I am in much better shape right now than you will ever be or ever were.
This just in...Americans have private enterprises taking cargo, and soon people into space whereas North Korea's government can't even do as much as a single satellite.
"americans cant go to space anymore " because we voted for two fundamentalists in a row and they shut down our space program to avoid scaring God up in heaven.
Watch now, Kim Jung Un is going to have it launched on Dec 21, 2012 (No, it's not the end of the world) just so that he can use another bs propaganda saying he saved the world from apocalyptic destruction. Not that it'll matter because it's destined for the ocean not the skies.
I believe that the "technical problem" is directly related to the current shortage of Chinese-made bottle rockets.
They decided they needed a longer fuse, and they realized they needed larger on-board gas tanks so the rocket would clear land before it ran out of gas. What a joke these jamotes are.
On the serious side, I really feel sorry for the N. Korean people. They are essentially captives in their own country and they are starving to death. Ourwardly, they praise leader Kim Whoopie Pie, but inwardly they have to be bitter, knowing that the money spent on this launch would have fed a lot of people.
There will be a day of reckoning and it will not be pretty.
is the mighty USA going to free them like Iraq or Afghanistan?????????????????????????
Twenty-five question marks: the sure sign of an insane mind.
Let's hope so. They need a strong deterrence or they'll end up like Iraq.
Unlike Irak, North-Korea isn't ethnically divided. The North Korean and South Korean people are pretty much the same. The only enemy of the North-Korean people is the North-Korean regime. North-Korean leaders are callous and utterly corrupt. If the regime falls, no-one will want it back. There'd be nothing for an insurgency to rally around.
and you think the Kurd` s in northern Iraq want anything to do with the south?????????????
You're either a troll for North Korea or totally stupid. The Chinese use North Korea as totally secure training area, and also as a secure place for conducting illegal experiments on humans. I have met many South Koreans, but never in my life have I ever met a single North Korean. You know why? They are a captive people. The whole country is divided into little kingdoms where the top military leader in the area is the king, and their new leader is the emperor. The common people are treated no better than animals.
Well the gays claim we are animals, so why should nk treat their people like anything else?
" gays claim we are animals" Does anyone actually claim that humans are NOT 'animals?' Don't know about you, man, but I'm no robot or ghost. I have to eat and drink, and evacuate waste, and I practice reproducing every chance I get. I have tiny fingers on the end of my feet. But I'm not gay, if that's any help.
Deterent to what? International food aid for their starving citizens? Iraq no longer has a murderous dictator at their head. Seems like a step in the right direction to me. But then perhaps you're a fan of murderous, despotic, insane rulers. Who am I to assume you're sane.
Hope they fail again, which will shake the very foundation of the regime under the new unstable leader.
i hope you fall on your fork
Good to know somebody supports the murderous, despotic, grinding dictatorship of North Korea. It just wouldn't be a real conversation without the point of view of the satan's advocate. Or in this case, given what we know of North Korea, the advocate of whoever satan's role model is.
"peter pan" Tinker Belle is calling you. Why don't you go hang out with your pals in Never Never Land for a few years and see if you can grow up?

On Friday, March 1, an explosion from a suicide bomber rocked the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, killing both a security guard and the bomber. Responsibility for the terrorist attack was claimed not by an Islamic terror group but rather by a self-described Marxist-Leninist group known as the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front.
Known in its native language as the Devrimci Halk Kurtulus Partisi-Cephesi (DHKP-C), it was officially founded in 1994 after splitting from the Marxist Turkish terror group Devrimci Sol, which translates into Karatas Faction. This faction itself was a splinter from Devrimci Yol, which too splintered from the original Turkish People's Liberation Party-Front (THKP-C) of the 1970s.
The DHKP-C, like its ancestor the THKP-C, is an ideologically Marxist-Leninist, anti-Western group. Its flag (shown above) displays the communist hammer & sickle inside the red star. It advocates Turkey's withdrawal from NATO and has branded its own country's government as a Fascist regime. The U.S. State Department originally designated the group as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) in 1997, and it remains on the Department's list of FTOs. The DHKP-C is believed to have fewer than 1,000 members.
In a statement from the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, they described their attack on the U.S. embassy as an "act of self-sacrifice" designed to target the United States, which they branded the "murderer of the people of the world," according to the International Business Times.
In an interview with the International Business Times, Dr. Dilshod Achilov, assistant professor of political science at East Tennessee State University, explained that "the DHKP-C's mentality, for instance, is still trapped in the Cold War. For them, the Cold War apparently never ended."

Are Carriers Prepared?
By John Castell
When the iPhone 4S was released, there were a fair number of naysayers out there questioning if this latest Apple smartphone would make the kind of mark its past devices have. Sure it has Siri and some other upgrades, but it looks similar. It fits the same protective case accessories and docking stations and the like, so many were speculative of the impact this one would make. According to a recent research by Arieso, this latest generation iPhone is definitely having an impact.
How? Data is showing that iPhone 4S consumers use practically twice the amount of data as its predecessor, the iPhone 4. Throw in the statistic of these hyper-users consuming more than 3 times the data of the original iPad 3G and jaws start to drop. Even Arieso's chief technical officer, Michael Flanagan marveled "the data usage numbers I am seeing make me wonder what I am missing."
The likely culprit is Siri. Michael Flanagan and other iPhone 4 users are bereft of the virtual assistant's powers that aid in searching which (although not stated in the report) is the obvious suspect for the increased data consumption. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
Also striking is Arieso's reporting that it is a mere 1% of data users consuming half of all downlink data. Flanagan did need to note, "while the report provides general trends, the studies on which they're based demonstrate the importance to operators of understanding the increased consumption each type of smartphone brings." But are carriers listening? Data usage will only continue to increase as tablets and smartphones become more prevalent, but mobile providers don't seem to be heeding the trends that will eventually compromise the quality of service for their subscribers.
With this kind of ostrich behavior from carriers, consumers should be clamoring for more unlocked phone options so they have the freedom to seek out services that will provide the speeds, complimentary accessories, and forward moving innovation that consumers are paying for.

Existing Chemicals Management
Data submitted to the HPV Challenge Program are being reviewed and incorporated into the Agency's enhanced existing chemicals management activities.
Under the High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program, companies were "challenged" to make health and environmental effects data publicly available on chemicals produced or imported in the United States in the greatest quantities. HPV chemicals are classified as those chemicals produced or imported in the United States in quantities of 1 million pounds or more per year. As of June 2007, companies sponsored more than 2,200 HPV chemicals, with approximately 1,400 chemicals sponsored directly through the HPV Challenge Program and over 860 chemicals sponsored indirectly through international efforts.
Access to HPV chemical information enables the public to participate in environmental decision-making at all levels – federal, state, and local. With the scheduled submission of data under the HPV Challenge Program now complete, the focus has shifted to data use, both by the public and by EPA in its mission to protect human health and the environment.
This Web site provides:
- Basic Information - Read a summary of the HPV Challenge Program and its background - why the program was created, how it worked, what basic data it collected, and how the data are being used.
- HPV Chemical Data - Access health and environmental effects data collected by the program. Data is accessible either as original sponsor submissions or through the High Production Volume Information System (HPVIS), a database that allows users to perform more refined searches and queries of program chemical data.
- Public Use of HPV Chemical Data - View ways in which the public and other stakeholders can use collected program data.
- EPA Chemical Data Screening, Review, and Characterization - Learn about EPA's review of HPV chemical data and link to EPA hazard characterization documents.
- Voluntary Chemical Sponsorships - Learn how the voluntary chemical sponsorship portion of the program was established, which companies sponsored chemicals, how companies collected and submitted HPV chemical data, and the accomplishments of this effort.
- EPA Regulatory Actions for Unsponsored Chemicals - Get a list of HPV chemicals that were not sponsored in the voluntary portion of the program and information on EPA regulatory actions to collect data for these chemicals.
- Related Links - Get a list of related Web sites, including international and other HPV Chemical Programs such as OECD eChemPortal and the OECD Chemicals Safety Program.

MASSENA - It was showtime for 171 Massena High School graduates on Saturday afternoon, as they finished one phase of their life and prepared to move on to the next.
Valedictorian Sarah K. Murphy, a veteran member of the schools spring musical, equated the commencement ceremonies and the end of their high school career to the final 30 minutes before a show.
William Shakespeare once wrote, All the worlds a stage, and all the men and women merely players. After reflecting on this, I feel this quote fits our situation quite well, she said.
Thirty minutes before the show, Ms. Murphy said, the cast and crew gather backstage, linking hands with each other.
Everyone is included because each person is an integral part of the show, from the actors to the wardrobe crew, to everyone in between, she said.
That correlation also applied to the seniors who were graduating on Saturday, according to Ms. Murphy, who will be heading to Harvard University to study Biology.
We are all blessed with different talents, and we are called to use them to their fullest potential. Just as some of us were born with the skills that allowed us to perform as actors and crew members, others have been blessed with talents that will reveal themselves as we become the future doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, mechanics, soldiers, clerks and scientists of this country, she said.
Whatever field we may end up in, what matters most is that we do our very best and that we fulfill our potential, while still maintaining our beliefs and trying to make the world a better place. In that circle, we are all connected, and when the curtain rises, we put aside our personal problems in order to contribute to the common good, Ms. Murphy said.
As time winds down to the show, its time for those involved to take the stage with their talents, either on the stage or behind the scenes.
Our directors have given us all the tools we need to succeed. But ultimately, it will come down to the actors feeding off of one another; the sound and lights crews working in sync so everyones work will be amplified and illuminated; the running crew transporting sets as non-like as possible not to distract from the scene, Ms. Murphy said.
When the five minutes to showtime mark rolls around, months of work and preparation - in our case, 13 years - have come down to these final moments, Ms. Murphy said.
A wave of adrenaline shoots over the entire production, revitalizing those who have had little sleep from the grueling schedule. At times we felt like giving up. But quitting simply isnt an option. It takes drive and determination to make it to curtain,. We are at that moment tested but victorious. The curtain will rise, and we wont stop until our final bow. We will go out and give it everything weve got, she said.
Sixty seconds left and the moment of truth has come, she said.
We think about the fun times in rehearsal and the crazy things people said that well remember for years to come. And we acknowledge the lows as well. The challenges, the disappointments, because everything weve experienced has helped shape us, Ms. Murphy said.
We stand now, in the wings of our own stage, ready for our cue. We are a flurry of emotions - happiness and exhilaration, apprehension and uncertainty. In the penultimate moment, the orchestra starts to play, the curtains open and its finally showtime, she said.
As ready as they are, though, its only the beginning, according to the valedictorian.
We still have our entire show ahead of us. What we make of it is our own choosing. We can go out and give ourselves completely to the show, performing to our very prime, or we can hold back, move slowly and be afraid to take risks or expose ourselves to others. We all have the potential for success, but that success comes from hard work and determination to ensure that our performance is what we want it to be, she said. We have our lines, our cues, our costumes and directions, Ms. Murphy told her classmates. Now its our time to go perform.
Salutatorian Molli M. Richards, in her address to classmates, reflected back on their time in high school.
We were the first class to attend Freshman Academy, as well as the first class to benefit from the capital project including the new cafeteria, gym, track and turf, she said.
Ms. Richards, who will be studying abroad in London for her first semester, said those sitting in front of her had formed a connection over the years.
I never thought these four years would be over but here we are. After all, 13 is typically an unlucky number but we have obviously overcome that stigma. We have made 13 the classy number in some interesting ways. We have strong connections with each other which I think is one of the main purposes of high school, she said.
They stood together when it was important, such as when the schools hockey team made it to the state final four. Ms. Richards said sports teams, Link Crew members and students planned the trip to Utica to support the team.
Those are important interactions that show true success, she said.
You all care about something, whether its sports or fashion or even a band and that makes you unique and interesting, Ms. Richards said. Caring and being excited about something will get you far. And when I say get you far, I mean bring you happiness. I dont know what Im going to major in or what my career will be but I know that if I stay excited about life, I will be happy. I wish you all happiness above all.
She compared their time together to the end of a television show.
A friend once told me there is a unique pain to ending a TV series, kind of like the feeling today. When there are no more episodes on Netflix, there is a little emptiness inside of you. But our series will continue on and seemingly never end. The best part of each of our stories hasnt been written yet. We can sit down with popcorn or ice cream and catch up with one another, but we will all become our own people and we must first and foremost focus on ourselves, she said.

ATTICA, N.Y. - Vandals damaged 28 cars and trucks at Upstate Chevrolet on Main Street overnight.
Attica Police tell 2 on Your Side most of the cars were brand new 2012 and 2013 models. A few of the damaged cars were previously owned.
Police say vandals threw rocks and kicked in windshields. All of the damaged cars were located in the back of the dealership.
"99% of [the damage] is broken windshields," said Frank Bork, owner of Upstate Chevrolet. "It's heartbreaking, you wonder why someone would do something like this. There's no purpose."
The dealership estimates more than $50,000 of damage to the trucks and cars. They will begin ordering parts and making repairs to all of the vehicles starting Monday.
Upstate Chevrolet is reviewing surveillance video to help identify the vandals. The business is also considering putting up a reward to anyone with more information that could lead to an arrest.
Anyone with more information is asked to call Attica Police at 585-721-5276.

This is the list of all contributions published on this web site, in chronological order.
Our beginning with our new licensing program has been so very successful: we are already receiving the many requests for music on DVDs and micro-film promotions.
So far, our greatest satisfaction comes from the fact that we have been requested by the Canadian Phi Group Inc., to use Gianluca Luisi's piano performance of Mozart's Sonata in D Major as soundtrack for the film Turbid. This is the first feature directed by George Fok.
The producers seem to understand the benefits of this new type of licensing: no longer royalties and dispersing practices, only one organization to contact for your needs, a price which is pre-cleared and a signature, all completed to the finish for you.
We sincerely hope that all of our products will be most successful and we stand behind our approach to the production of quality recordings of fine Classical musical performances.
By @les (on 24/03/2009 @ 20:10:37, in Interviews)
Conceived with the purpose of offering Astor Piazzolla's tangos by playing those instruments which are its vital core, the TrisTango has shown an ability of combining both a faithful and a creative interpretation of the original music. The trio - now a quartet! - has remained far from numberless interpretations which only emphasize the melodic aspect of Piazzolla's music. It has gone where the young Piazzolla in the fifties got inspiration for his new music, that is contemporary classical music - and, most of all, jazz - but it has expanded its performances by absorbing the evocative sounds of new contaminations, such as ethnic music and has given wide space to improvisations. The result is an overwhelming emotional strenght which pours out from the musicians on to the audience.
Its eclecticism allows the TrisTango to perform both in classical music seasons and jazz festivals, and furthermore it is really interesting with orchestra accompaniment.
The sound (captured with 6 Neumann mics.) and the executive production are rigorously signed by Alessandro Simonetto, founder of onclassical.com; post-production and mastering are made by Daniele Roccato using a natural convolution.
Here it is the interview (Italian with English subtitles) about the new release of OnClassical: 'round Piazzolla signed by TrisTango: Daniele Roccato (doublebass), Marco Tezza (piano), Massimiliano Pitocco (bandoneon) and Saverio Tasca (vibraphone and percussion).
The (real) compact disc can be purchased (see contact info) at a price of 15 euros (including expenses).

The federal government is at it again: fighting to prevent citizens from improving their own property under the alleged authority of the Clean Water Act of 1972.
The latest target of tyranny is Peter and Francoise Smith, a retired couple from Lone Butte, New Mexico.
Here's the on ramp to the story as provided by the Santa Fe New Mexican:
Peter Smith said the 20 acres the couple bought in 2005 is near old ranch property in Lone Butte. An arroyo crosses about 1,000 feet of the property. Smith said he cleaned up glass bottles, beer cans and other trash from the arroyo, and periodically, he mowed back non-native, fast-growing salt cedar trees.
Smith said deep, eroded ruts in the arroyo threatened to flip over his tractor when he tried to mow. "So I went in and smoothed the ruts over," he said.
Gallina Arroyo is the name of the little stream that is giving the Smiths so much trouble.
Imagine being the sort of person who takes pride in your property, keeping it clean, being a good steward of the land only to have agents of the federal government come in and accuse you of violating federal law and threatening to fine you for your efforts.
"People dumped garbage down there, and there was a beetle infestation that took out a lot of the piñon," Peter Smith said, as quoted by the Albuquerque Journal. He added that the some 600 dead trees he was removing were an undeniable fire hazard.
"The salt cedar was getting to the point it was so thick you couldn't walk through it. So I cleaned up as much as I could and tried to maintain it with a tractor and a Bush Hog," Smith told the Albuquerque Journal.
Now, imagine that the "law" the feds accuse you of breaking was designed to protect the "waters of the United States" and the dry stream bed you are clearing rarely has water flow through it at all.

Video: Dr. Corasanti Receives Clinical Privileges
Video: Dr. Corasanti Ready to Return to Work
BUFFALO, NY - James Corasanti, a local gastroenterologist who struck and killed Amherst teen Alix Rice in 2011 has received clinical privileges to once again practice medicine.
Attorney Joel Daniels represented Corasanti during his trial. "This guy has earned the right to go back to work and serve his patients," he said."
Kaleida Health released the following statement Wednesday:
"Dr. Corasanti has applied for and has received clinical privileges that are consistent with his license to practice medicine. Kaleida Health has not hired him or retained him to provide clinical services.
"Like all physicians who are interested in practicing in our facilities, he went through this formal review process.
"His request for privileges first went through the Kaleida Health medical/dental staff's credentials committee, then to the medical executive committee and finally, to the Kaleida Health Board of Directors."
In response to the news, Alix's father, Richard Rice released the following statement to 2 On Your Side: "He is trying to return his life to normal. Our lives (family) will never return to normal. Justice has not been served."
Dr. Corasanti, a former employee of the Buffalo Medical Group, was a practicing gastroenterologist and the medical director of the GI endoscopy unit at Buffalo General Medical Center until July 2011.
Corasanti was acquitted on felony charges but found guilty of misdemeanor DWI. He was sentenced to one year in jail and was released in April.
Dr. Corasanti never actually lost his medical license. After his DWI conviction, the New York State Health Department put Corasanti on probation for 5 years. Among the terms of the probation, he reportedly will be subjected to random alcohol screenings, and he can only practice medicine under the supervision of another licensed doctor.

PROVIDENCE — The margin for error in Divi-sion II looks pretty slim so far this season.
Lincoln High, which lost in the D-II playoff semifinals last year, edged Moses Brown by a 1-0 margin on Tuesday afternoon in a contest that featured a total of two shots on goal, one for each side.
Senior forward Nick Lamothe converted teammate Matuez Puzanowski's strong throw-in from the right sideline to provide the match's only goal midway through the second half. The play was set up by a deft give-and-go passing exhibition down the right sideline by Lamothe and midfielder Eric Zannini, a little bit of creativity and teamwork that Lincoln coach John D'Aloisio appreciated.
"I told the kids sometimes we look good. Other times, we are just kicking the ball down the field and it's ugly," the coach said after the evenly-played match had ended. "We get disorganized sometimes. We need to build on what we are doing well. We need to create more when we control the ball."
Lincoln has played two league matches thus far and won by a 1-0 margin in each one.
"I think there are a lot of good defensive teams in the league," D'Aloisio said. "We're going to play a lot of tight matches this season."
The Lions can count on junior goalkeeper Jack Bacon, who was only seriously challenged on one ball during Tuesday's match. Moses Brown forward William Atkinson got open momentarily with the ball on his right foot just 10 feet in front of Bacon early in the second half. Atkinson shot directly into Bacon, who charged forward to cut down the angle. The ball bounced over Bacon's left shoulder and across the end line, preserving the scoreless tie.
Neither team could manage a shot of any kind during the match's first 10 minutes. Lamothe finally drilled a high ball over top of the net at the 15-minute mark. Moses Brown only pressured Bacon once in the first half while Lincoln forced Quaker goalie Luis Hernandez to do some work on four occasions.
The tempo stepped up in the second half. After Atkinson nearly got a shot past Bacon, the Lions began to work the ball more cohesively with midfielder Alex D'Aloisio trying to trigger the offense. Bacon kept cleaning up long balls at his end. Finally, Bacon trapped a lengthy free kick and booted it to midfield. Zannini and Lamothe took control, working in tandem down the right sideline, passing the ball back and forth twice before the Quakers' defense knocked the ball out of bounds to stop the advance.
On the ensuing throw-in, Lincoln co-captain Puzanowski picked up the ball at the right end line, held it over his head while looking for a target, and then delivered a powerful pass that Lamothe finished off with a well-timed header in traffic from eight yards out. Hernandez never had a chance.
Moses Brown coach Eric Aaronian then made two personnel changes, moving gifted midfielder Julio Barroso to the front line and sending defender Cory Lewis to midfield. Suddenly the game started to tilt in the Quakers' favor. Moses Brown created several scoring chances down the stretch, never quite putting the ball on goal but making Bacon and the Lincoln defense work hard to protect their territory.
"After they scored," Aaronian said, "we had to do something to get the equalizer. But we couldn't get it done. Historically, Lincoln is a very strong team in our division. We lost to them in the quarterfinals last year. I guess today's game tells me my team is a work in progress."
D'Aloisio thinks the same of his club.
"This is a long season," the coach said, noting that it's still early September and the Division II regular season ends on Oct. 24. "We just have to keep working to get better, one game at a time."
Lincoln returns to action on Friday night with a 6:30 p.m. home matchup against Mount Hope.
