"'A bit jumpy today aren't we' how many times did I hear that.. the usual sarcastic comment directed at me from classmates as a youngster.. having problems at that time with jumping out of my skin at the slightest thing, it was as though my flinch response was out of control, jumping away from anything vaguely threatening my reactions were in overdrive, whether I was just a very jumpy kid I don't know, but I know it was embarrassing at times and didn't really know what the cause was.. as time went on I grew slowly out of it, now it only occasionally rears its ugly head, like the times when my wife appears from nowhere right behind me just as I turn around causing a sharp intake of breath on my part followed by a few expletives.. must be those Ninja slippers I bought her last Christmas…"

Free PDF: "The History and Content of Morihei Ueshiba's 1938 technical manual "Budo"
"The book that vindicated the authenticity of Morihiro Saito's technique!"
We have uploaded a PDF file of the complete introduction to "Takemusu Aikido Special Edition: Budo," authored by Morihiro Saito, 9th dan.
This book is based on technical material contained in the technical manual entitled Budo published in 1938 by Morihei Ueshiba supplemented by detailed commentary by Morihiro Saito Shihan. The technical material in this volume includes preparatory exercises, basic techniques, knife (tantodori), and sword-taking techniques (tachidori), sword vs. sword forms (ken tai ken), mock-bayonet (juken) techniques, and finishing exercises (shumatsu dosa).
Takemusu Aikido Special Edition also features an essay by Aikido Journal Editor-in-chief Stanley Pranin on the history and background of the publication of Morihei Ueshiba's prewar manual Budo containing newly-discovered findings!

This volume completes the "Takemusu Aikido" series of six books by Morihiro Saito, 9th dan.
"More Advice For Beginners," by Nev Sagiba
Many people forget what it was like to start for the very first time. So many people would like to make a start, but out of either fear, timidity, unsureness, or a list of other reasons, never do.
If you made it past the wishing and hoping and perhaps occasionally enquiring, and have got as far as actually finding and visiting a dojo; CONGRATULATIONS!
That was the first test, "Grasshopper!" Your warrior spirit is showing! Make no mistake about it, whatever anybody says. Any Budo is a warrior yoga not to be taken lightly.
Highly recommended: Watch first. Watch attentively. EVALUATE. The second test of a warrior is to exercise the discernment muscles.
Are the people you see training sincere? Are they sleazy? Are they overtly competitive? Are they happy? Are they enjoying themselves? Are they brutal? Do they talk too much? Are they focused on what they are doing? Are they caring? Do they look safe or slovenly? How is the appearance of the dojo? What is the condition of the mats? Is healthy humor present? Or inappropriate levity? Are people intense or merely angry? Is the training kind or cruel?

"Ki Meditation," by Shinichi Tohei
"When our mind firmly sticks to something, we call that state of mind 'obsession'. We obsess many times in our daily life.
Dwelling on our success in the past is one of our obsessions. The present day is the only time we can act, however, we often obsess with past successes and cannot see the future correctly.
Failure in the past is also an object of obsession. The important thing is to learn from the failure and continue until arriving at achievement without giving up. But we often obsess with the failure in the past and stop challenging ourselves in the present."
"Expanding and Refining the Notion of Self-defense" by Stanley Pranin
The article below has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
Self-defense can be defined as the protection of one's life and/or property against an attack. In cases where people take active steps to safeguard themselves and their possessions, fear is often the strongest motivating factor. Take the example of a young man who decides to join a martial arts school or self-defense course. Most likely he is driven by apprehension due to some perceived vulnerability such as small physical size or weakness. Perhaps he has recently been the victim of an attack at the hands of a bully that has left him injured and humiliated in the eyes of his friends. As a teenager, I personally witnessed one such violent incident. Even though I was not the victim, the fear I felt at seeing the perpetration of violence at close hand proved to be the deciding factor in getting me to join an aikido dojo.
"Cardio For the Martial Arts," by Stephan Kesting
"Cardiovascular training can be a confusing topic and there are many different and divergent views on the subject. Different reputable sources inform us that you don't need to do cardio – just spar really long rounds (for grappling), or that you should spar twice as many rounds as you are going to fight (boxing), or that you should do sprints, or do long runs, or lift weights for muscular endurance, etc. With so many 'experts', it is no wonder that the answer isn't cut and dried.
I have my own beliefs and they seem to work fairly well for me. I noticed a couple of years ago that my techniques worked best and my sparring was sharpest not when I was stronger but rather when my 'cardio' was at its peak. Because I wasn't getting winded in sparring, I was able to think and make coherent plans throughout the match. At the time I was running 3 or 4 times a week, for 20 to 50 minutes at a time, in preparation for the fire department entrance test."
"Distract, distract, distract!," by Dan Prager
"Last night we spent the bulk of the class applying jiu-jitsu tactics to escaping from common holds: An exhaustive variety of wrist grabs, plus a few chokes.
The beauty of being grabbed is that you can feel exactly where your partner's hand or hands are, and with a little sensitivity the rest of his or her body too. If (s)he moves you can sense that as well."
"A Simple Lesson in Body Mechanics," by Christopher Caile
"A mistake made by many karate-ka and other martial artists is improper pelvis and hip alignment in their front leaning stance. Instead of the pelvis and hips being aligned naturally under the rest of the spine, the hips are pulled backward and out of line by the back leg. The problem is aggravated if the stance is long and low."
Recommended reading: "Interview with Koichi Tohei (4)" by Stanley Pranin
The interview below with the famous Koichi Tohei, aikido's first 10th dan, has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
It is the same for the character for person (hito). Its original meaning in Chinese, based on its shape (which shows two people leaning on each other) was to the effect that "people must rely on one another to get along in the world." In Japanese we retain the readings nin and jin that approximate the original Chinese, but we also have the Japanese reading hito. Like mizukagami, the word hito existed in Japan prior to the introduction of Chinese characters. It comes from the classical language of Japanese spirituality, with a specific connection to the word naohi (direct spirit). The syllable hi expressed the spirit of the universe, and when this spirit coalesces into a physical form, you have hito ("spirit-stop") – a person. The same applies to the word kokyu (breath); I teach my students to exhale with "haaah" sound and inhale with a "suuuh" sound-in other words, to use the more natural pronunciation instead of the words themselves. Whole-body breathing would be impossible if you tried to exhale with the sound "koooh" an inhale with the sound "kyuuuh" (i.e. kokyu).
"Injuries," by Rick Berry
"Today I received an email regarding sporting participants who get concussions. Attached was a 'New York Times' online article regarding this problem. This email was about the lack of reporting the seriousness of the injuries by the injured players. These were the star players who thought they would be sidelined if they showed the symptoms and likelihood of a concussion thereby letting their team down.
This problem should not arise for martial arts practitioners but I mention it for the simple reason that many young students practice organized sports in addition to martial arts. I've, on occasion, observed a macho streak running through much of organized sports and I call it the 'win at all costs' syndrome. And I remember that attitude as the primary cause of 'Watergate.'"
"Silent Pioneer: Shuji Maruyama Sensei, Kokikai Founder" by Gaku Homma
The article below has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
Shuji Maruyama Sensei was on his way once again, this time to Seattle. We drove to the airport in the early morning light. The car was silent as he looked out the window, studying the passing scenery. Softly, almost to himself, he spoke. 'The best thing about Denver is the clouds. Like that cloud over there. Look at it. It has the freedom to move, to change shape, to drift freely through the sky. That one looks like a dragon. It looks like it is alive. It has infinite freedom, freedom to move.'

"DISTANCE (mai-ai), Aikido and Life," by Nick Engelen
"Once in a while we focus on self-defense. Most of the classes focused on the practice of the martial arts and now and then we mixed both traditional martial arts teaching with practical applications. This was going to be one of those classes.
In the changing room we all changed quickly and most of seemed upbeat and excited apart from Tony whose mind seemed far away. Rob asked: 'What's up Tony? You seem quite…'"

Most ancient civilizations grew along the banks of rivers. Even today, millions of people all over the world live on the banks of rivers and depend on them for their survival. The pollution of environment is the ´gift´ of the industrial revolution Prior to this the agrarian cultures created significant environmental deterioration in the form of soil erosion- through deforestation and overgrazing. The environmental degradation is a by product of modern civilization.

Valentine's Gift Guide: Jazzy Albums for Him and Her With Wine Pairings, Part One
We've been accused of a lot of things here at the Grind. We've been accused of loving Lil Wayne too much, worrying excessively about dance crazes nobody has ever heard of or cares about, celebrating birthdays of musicians who don't know we're alive... in short, grievances have been made against us as a company and as individuals.
I was recently accosted by a reader and questioned as to why we've abandoned certain forms of coverage within our pages, digital and print. Well, I think this lady meant, why haven't I written about jazz in a while. Since I surely aim to please our readership and this little holiday is sneaking up, here's my Valentine to her.
What follows are a couple of records that flew below our radars. They're by musicians who are either from South Florida or have visited recently, complete with relationship advice and wine suggestions. I hope she finds it in her heart to forgive me.
Bill O'Connell
Rhapsody in Blue
(Challenge Records)
Bill O'Connell has been ranking hard with jazz heavies since his coming of age in the late '70s. He worked in the company of masters like salsa great Mongo Santamaria and legends Chet Baker and Sonny Rollins. Joining him on piano on this venture are bass men Luques Curtis and David Finck, drummer Steve Berrios, percussionist Richie Flores, trombonist Conrad Herwig and vibraphonist Dave Samuels.
To say that his Latin influences creep up in weird but subtle moments wouldn't be too off-mark. As a matter of fact, it's the casual strength of this album overall, even in the Gershwin-penned title track; it is what makes it vibrant, fun, and fresh. But there's also a certain kind of respect, I'd imagine, O'Connell has gained and greater insight from his years on the road. You can see this tip of the hat in the opener "Monk's Cha-Cha" and in the baker's dozen of "Off-Center" and "Two Worlds." This album commands numerous listens, as each one reveals new layers of artistry.

For Her:
Get yourself a date with a fun guy who is relaxed in social settings and at the same time not a hopeless, nonparticipating boor. You'd be looking for someone of average height, slightly overweight, and preferably bald. A confident man, if you will.
Serve him French Merlot and he'll be worth his weight in gold. That is, if he abstains from cheesy Sideways quotes and appreciates the glass for its soft perfumes and earthen nuances. Don't eat too much; you're gonna want to fuck him.
Santi Debriano
Santi's Sampler
Santi Debriano might be one of New York City's finest bass men in any circuit right now. While most people, especially guitarists, want their rhythm section to basically shut the hell up and do their steady and often-thankless job, Debriano's bass is one you want to hear above all else.
In these six tracks, his notoriety as an excellent soloist shines through and in no better form than the closer, "Dorian," where the percussive elements of the instrument are explored.
In "Milonga for Miami," Debriano veers from the expected good-time feature and delves into a rather dark and quasiparanoiac industrial ditty that has "sci-fi film score" written all over it. "Little Spring" is whimsical and fun, and believe it or not, it reminded me of parts in Hawkwind's Warrior on the Edge of Time album. Seriously. The next time Debriano graces South Florida, make it a point to see him live.
For Him:
This Valentine's Day is particularly bittersweet because a girl you dated for years turned out to be some heartless bitch. That's OK, as long as you don't turn into some asshole and pull some revenge stunt on some nice and unsuspecting gilly.
You're going to be a nice guy, and you'll want a level-headed girl with a better job than yours who enjoys walks in the park, and since she will not coddle you or go out of her way to make your life better, she'll certainly enjoy the night and the crisp refreshment of a nicely chilled Torrontés.
Native Lands
(Half Note Records)
Will Calhoun might be without question one of the greatest drummers of all time. This I say fully aware of the company that puts him in, and I mean one of greatest drummers across the genres.
Most fans might know him from his incredibly progressive work with hard-rock outfit Living Colour. He provided the anchor to Vernon Reid's hallmark guitar work and cemented that outfit's success. Outside of the world of rock 'n' roll, Calhoun's a much-sought-after drummer in the jazz and world music worlds. This is aside from his prowess on the instrument but also because of his scholarly understanding of drums and percussion and his continued innovations in the art form.
If your buddy hooks up a guitar pedal to his drum kit, he might get a bolt of electricity that'll land him in the hospital; if Calhoun does it, your jaw is gonna drop. On these 15 tracks, he surrounds himself with some recognizable names like Mos Def (they duo on "East," and Def's piano is solid) and Kevin Eubanks and Pharoah Sanders on "Pyramids."
His use of electronic applications throughout is expertly done so as to blur the organic and the digital. But Calhoun's mastery of his kit and his compositions do not make him a staunch fuddy-duddy. On the contrary, he lets it all go out in a 20-odd-second recorded blast of his then-2-year-old son, Tateich, rocking "Ancient One First Born" on Daddy's album. The kid's got a future in music.
For Her:
You've shed the "I want a bad boy" syndrome and while not entirely ready to settle down and hear some dude snore the rest of your life, you have a feeling that this Valentine's Day is going to be pretty good and this date your friend lined you up with might work out.
He can name three of the five or six who drummed on Davis' Bitches Brew and sports a Hüsker Dü tattoo on his shoulder blade. He'll enjoy something wickedly sweet like a nice Gewürztraminer or something retardedly bad like a white Zinfandel, because he hasn't entirely forgotten his Stroh's and Schlitz past, but he's willing to learn. This date could go either way depending on how you teach.
Luis Bofill
Made in Habana
Bofill's been a smoothly unrepentant troubadour since he first cut his teeth recording in Cuba in the late '80s. To say his rise to fame has been meteoric since would be a lie. It's a shame, for his rise should've been meteoric.
His understanding of traditional forms and innate grasp of the subject matter is sung with a true exiled heart, and it is this emotional quality that allows him some nice intonations and incantations to covers and original works.
Since he's been a resident of South Florida for a while now, it is in this album, Made in Habana, that he carefully sheds some of his Cuban roots in favor of the local flavors. While this is a straight-up party, you can feel elements of Colombia and other Caribbean spices in the mix. This is a good record, but Bofill's even better live, where his gleaming bald head rocks back and forth, sometimes in pain, sometimes in ecstasy.
For Him:
Line up a saucy Latina for the evening, the thicker the accent, the better. Valentine's Day is one of the crappiest holidays on the planet, but you're gonna have fun.
You're gonna rock this night light a drunken, uninvited guest at a quinces. You're gonna dance all night with this girl and her mother. You might get slapped up the good way. Regardless, everything will end much later in the evening and with a nice sherry to wash it all down. Yum!
Happy Valentine's Day!

TSV & Wafer Level Packaging
Complete process management
The world's leading chip manufacturers choose ECI's equipment to manage their WLP processes. The most accurate automated analysis and dosing for TSV, Bumping, RDL, Copper Pillars, and UBM.
WLP is a rapidly growing field within Semiconductor processing. Using WLP to connect miniaturized structures directly on the wafer, chip manufacturers can save space and reduce overall chip size. WLP involves challenging new processes such as TSV filling, Under Bump Metallization (UBM), Copper Pillars, and Redistribution Layers (RDL) and these require the tightest and most precise control that only ECI's Quali-Fill systems can provide.

Some of the Internet's biggest players -- Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, IBM and VeriSign -- are working on a new single sign-on that would take some of the hassle out of surfing the Web.
The five companies on Thursday became the first corporate board members of the OpenID Foundation, which is behind an industry-wide initiative aimed at creating the system.
OpenID Foundation Chairman Scott Kveton called the addition of the Internet behemoths a huge boost.
"Having these companies really lends weight to the adoption," Kveton said. "This will help us move the technology to the forefront."
Under OpenID, companies would share sign-on information for any Web user who agrees to participate.
They would also share users' personal information, such as credit card data, billing addresses and personal preferences.
Security Boon?
All that information would be stored in a central repository, and would be doled out to participating Web sites only if and when you authorized it.
By setting up a single OpenID sign-on, you could access your Google calendar or your Microsoft Hotmail e-mail account or visit Yahoo's music download store, all without changing sign-in names or remembering different passwords.
No major retailers have signed on to OpenID yet. But ultimately, organizers say, you may be able to also use a single sign-on at different online shopping sites.
Some critics worry that having personal information in a single repository shared by many companies could create security problems.
However, supporters say OpenID -- which would be free for users -- could actually help prevent identity theft and other security problems.
"What this does is actually reduces the amount of [users' personal] data that these Web sites have to maintain," said Tony Nadalin, chief security architect for IBM Tivoli software in Austin, Texas.
"So when there are breaches on those Web sites, since they're not storing any information anymore, it's not a problem."
Though the companies have agreed to collaborate on the system, they haven't said when they expect to start deploying it.
Between technical issues, corporate takeover attempts and other hurdles, it could be months -- or even years -- before consumers see widespread deployment, Kveton acknowledged.
"I would love to say that" it will be by the end of the year, he said, "but who knows? Things come up."
Key to Next-Gen Web
IBM is one of the biggest providers of Internet identification software and security, mainly through its Austin-based Tivoli division and its Atlanta-based Internet Security Systems division.
Through its participation in OpenID, IBM expects to be heavily involved in security issues surrounding the initiative, Nadalin said.
The idea behind OpenID isn't new. Microsoft a few years ago launched Passport, a similar single-sign-on initiative that it wanted to be ubiquitous across the Web. So far, though, the use of the Microsoft system -- it's now called "Windows Live ID" -- hasn't spread far beyond Microsoft sites.
IBM and the other companies aren't exactly new to OpenID either. Most have been involved with helping develop the software protocols behind the initiative for more than a year.
Still, by becoming members of the OpenID Foundation's board, they're showing that they're officially behind the technology, and will support its rollout in coming months.
"Yahoo believes that a truly open Web is the key to the next generation of Internet experiences," Ash Patel, the company's executive vice president of platforms and infrastructure, said in a statement. Already, more than 10,000 Web sites support the OpenID platform, and more than 1.5 million Internet users have active OpenID accounts.
So far, though, the bulk of participants are blog or news sites and their users. The addition of heavyweights like Google, Microsoft and Yahoo could expand OpenID's reach significantly.

[Event] Blogger's review on 121127 Tea Time with Author Ku Hye Sun
Fruit of Opportunity blooms from Ku Hye Sun's 'Peach Tree'
About 10 people who came to Tea Time with Author Ku Hye Sun are her devoted fans in that they all read her novel Peach Tree and also saw the movie. Ku Hye Sun greeted the participants with her humbleness: "Thank you for coming to this inadequate and humble event to spend time with me in your busy schedule.
Questions and Answers:
Q: The ending of the movie and the novel seem different. Did you do that on purpose?
Rather than thinking of it as the difference in the ending, it is more the difference in timing/point of view. In the movie, the story flows mainly from the perspectives of Nam Sang Mi and Ryu Deok Hwan roles with Jo Seung Woo's emotional expressions giving it yet another perspective. However, the novel is written entirely from SeungAh's perspective. The most important point is SeungAh (Nam Sang Mi's role) running with the manikin. That is how I made the ending. So it is possible to interpret differently.
Q: What is your reason for using Siamese twins as your motive? Did you ever really see a Siamese twins? I am curious.
People often told me that the concept of the story has novelty but that it also feels objectionable and bizarre. Actually, I saw the image of Siamese twins in my dream and never actually saw one. I guess the dream is the result of having pondered so much alone on the theme. It was mentioned that Siamese twins represents us, alluding to a person's duality and ambivalence. However, because of my job as an entertainer, the Siamese twin image also represents my family who often become the unwilling, secondary victims because of me. From my dream, melody also came to me. That is why, <Peach Tree> movie, unlike other movies, started with an OST.
Q: Can you say what are the three most important things in your life?
I am no different from others. Family, People whom I have fatefully met, and Me. I especially think very preciously of the fateful/destined meetings. In my 29 years of living, there is not one, besides my own family, whom I have met for the last entire 29 years. Even if we had been very close for 1 to 2 years, we can suddenly become distant at one moment. Even if we may have been close for past 10 years, we can again become distant due to some type of environmental and situational changes. That is why, some time ago, I decided to give my attention to every single minute that I am meeting that person.
Q: Who is your life mentor?
Due to the nature of the TV programs, I have mentioned specific people. However, I really have tons of mentors. When I was a young student, I have often thought of the various homeroom teachers who changed every year as my mentors. At times, my mother who "stews and stir-fries" me as well as a boyfriend have been my mentors. When I look back, all the people that I met have been my mentors. I have a personality that prefers not to decide on just one thing. If I do that, I feel imprisoned by that one thought.
Q: Do have an artist that you like or an artist who influenced your own paintings?
At an interview long ago, I mentioned that a book called, <To Think Like Leonardo DaVinci> influenced me a great deal. However, suddenly many articles came out saying that Ku Hye Sun's role model is Leonardo DaVinci and I remember feeling very embarrassed. I am very grateful to that book which certainly helped me to practice thinking in three-dimensional way and to think from various angles and perspectives.
Q: You have many titles before your name: director, writer, actress, artist, singer, etc. Which is most endearing to you?
I like them all. I am embarrassed to say this but I often applaud myself for my courage. People often comment that I got my chances because I am Ku Hye Sun. Actually, no one handed me the opportunity. Anyway, I cannot say that I became successful in any one thing. I have not yet been acknowledged and I don't see a need to do something to get acknowledged. In spite of that, I give myself endless opportunities, I forgive myself and I continue to work.
Q: You have stepped up to numerous challenges so far. Is there anything else that you are preparing for a challenge?
Instead of looking at it as a challenge, I consider it homework. I want to study and analyze ways to lessen the damage/debt. I drew and composed way before twenty's. What I have shown to the public are my works from after the debut. After undergoing numerous trials and errors, I think my ability to judge is slowly improving. I would judge that <I should not do this> or <It would be good to dig deeper inot this one>, etc. It is not easy for an actor to invest all the money that she has painstakingly saved into something unfamiliar. I need to look at the past 10 years of loss/damage as my asset and think about methods to decrease the damage/loss. If I must pick something as my next challenge, perhaps it is marriage. I think Wonder Girls's SunHye who announced her marriage is very brave. I think that marriage will become my life's biggest challenge.
Q: Do you have your own definition or meaning about soulmate? I am curious about who is your soulmate.
My thought about soulmate is someone with whom you can relax your mind and talk/gossip without restraint. My soulmate is my old friend Suh HyunJin. She made a special appearance as the Siamese twins' mother in the Peach Tree movie. She also appeared in my movie YoSool. We are so close that she is Ok with a free dinner as her acting fee. For her current acting fee, I am going to buy her dinner for 5 years.
Q: Do you have any goals or destination as an artist?
I want liberation. Rather than the meaning of liberation as mentioned in Buddhism, I am talking about feeling free from the aspects of capital/fund/money. When capital is emptied, it is very difficult to work. I have worked for the past 10 years, but it was very hard because I could not save money. I want to be able to feel happy even if I do not make money from what I make. When people say that "Art is important", I feel it is synonymous with "People are important". Therefore, I want to climb to a state where I am free from giving and receiving criticism.
Q: As it was contained in the novel and the movie, did you ever wanted to make a children's book?
I really wanted to write a children's book as seen in the movie. Even so, the reason that I did not proceed is due to much opposition from people around me. Actually, I wanted to write the children's book so that I can use it meaningfully. In the past, I visited the hospital where Representative Jung SeungHye of Morning Production Co., was hospitalized. She told me that children in the pediatric ward want to read a book the most. At first, that is why I wanted to write a children's book. But, it just could not be smoothly arranged. So, I wrote the novel first. When an opportunity arises, I hope to make a children's book.
Q: Do you have a most memorable scene from the movie or the novel?
I like the scene where Ryu Deok Hwan is crying while lying straight on the bed and the scene where Nam Sang Mi is crying and running with the manikin. In the movie, there are no scenes where Seungah is falling down. In the novel, SeungAh is constantly falling down. I felt very moved by that aspect of the novel. Both the movie and the novel have tragic ending. I often asked myself, "can the ending be happy?" I think both the movie and the novel tried to show that.
Blogger's ending comment:
Ku Hye Sun created with great imagination a fantasy novel and movie of the same name <Peach Tree> starring Siamese twins whose occurrence is as low as 2million:1. She revealed in various interviews, but a peach symbolizes the image of a baby and the blessing of the birth. And, the peach tree symbolizes the image of the mother. Under the simple title of <Peach Tree>, Ku Hye Sun dissolved into it the pain of the Siamese twins' who grew up without motherly love and without normalcy.
Could it be possible that she wanted to fulfill the joy and the opportunity that they never enjoyed? Ku Hye Sun created many opportunities for herself. She has many titles before her name: actor, movie director, artist, singer,etc. She did not earn those titles easily just because she is an entertainer. However, it stems from a consistent and sincere attitude of giving oneself continuous chances? I wonder what other type of fruit will bloom from Ku Hye Sun's peach tree and look forward to it.

[Event] A review on 121127 Meeting with "Peach Tree" author Ku Hye Sun
Ku Hye Sun continues to create through art, music, movie and novel and more. Ku Hye Sun says that she wants to talk about love in her works. What is LOVE in her mind? She does not define love direcctly but defines it more symbolically and abstractly.
In commemoration of publication of Ku Hye Sun's novel, Peach Tree, a meeting with the author event was held in Accompany Cafe of Seoul's YiHwa-dong. 20 people met with the author on Nov. 27th. Due to limited seating, many applicants had to be turned down. 132 applied through YES24, 68 through INTERPARK, 16 through Internet KyoBo Books, 18 through Aladin. Basically, there was 1 in 10 chance in becoming a participant for the event.
Peach Tree is her second novel. Her movie under the same title also recently came out. It is a story about Siamese twins who has one body and two faces. Fearing the outside world's prejudice, the twins' father raised the sons in seclusion for 30 years. Sanghyun complied with the condition while Donghyun hoped for contact with the world and aspired to become a novelist. Father determines to help Donghyun and asks SeungAh's help with illustration. In the movie, Jo Seung Woo acted as SangHyun, Ryu Deok Hwan as DongHyun and Nam Sang Mi as SeungAh.
Her movie received much attention because she wrote the scenario and directed the movie and because of the famous stars appearing in her movie. However, it did not become a box office hit. According Korean Film Council on Nov.28th, Peach Tree was watched by total of 33,884 people. It is a disappointing figure.
If we examine, Ku Hye Sun as a director, composer and writer did not succeed in a big way so far. Neverthless, Ku Hye Sun never ceased to create from multi-directcion. Where does her drive to create come from? At this event, not only the book but many different themes were discussed. This tea-time event was carried out in this style: readers wrote out their questions (on stickies) and the mc Lee EunMi read them out loud and Ku Hye Sun answered them.
I wrote Peach Tree in 2 weeks
As this event celebrated the publication of the novel, talk about the novel appeared first. It is Ku Hye Sun's creativity that created Siamese twins with one body and two faces. Such an instance is hard to find in real life. Even if it many exist, they cannot live long. Ku Hye Sun says that she came up with the concept in her dream.
Then, Ku Hye Sun revealed her habit of creativity. It takes her a long time to conceive her project/work. However, once she starts to write, she tends not to stop until it is completed. Peach Tree was finished in 2 weeks. Sitting at her desk, the kind of concentration she can exert seems unique but can also cause problems. It affected her health. Recently she went to an emergency room. The x-ray showed that her waist is not straight (curved, bent, etc.). It is all due to working too long and hard at her desk.
Ku-onardo DaVinci, her next challenge is marriage

Vrana during an interview with local newspaper Corren before the game.
Washington Capitals prospect Jakub Vrana scored two points in his first game back with Linkoping after being cut from Caps training camp. Vrana, who was dominant in the Champions League action before coming over to North America, got a goal and an assist as his Linkoping defeated Filip Forsberg's former club, Leksand.

After scoring his first goal of the season in the Champions Hockey League game, Capitals prospect Jakub Vrana found the net in a preseason game as his Linkoping beat Vasteras 5-3.
From Brooks Laich's Facebook fan page.
On October 9th, 2012, we all learned a valuable lesson: Everybody has a bad day once in awhile, even a perfect human being like Brooks Laich.
In the Kloten Flyers' 4-3 loss to Tyler Seguin's EHC Biel, Laich had one of his worse games as a pro. He garnered 16 penalty minutes — including a misconduct for checking Eric Beaudoin in the head — and oh yeah, he scored on his own team.

Can a Chinese pop star invade so this effing song can die already?!
ReplyCancelI love the extreme goof ball oddity of this song! It always makes me smile and laugh out loud!
I have a strange little crush on little Psy and his crazy legs!
ReplyCancelVicki, you said Chinese, therefore, I get to say "Free Tibet" !
ReplyCancelI thought that after the Ghostbusters mashup that Gangnam Style had finally run its course.
That said, Heidi never looks bad.
ReplyCancelLOL, Agent! I realized after I posted it that I should have said North Korean. Dammit!
ReplyCancelI must officially be the last person on the planet who has not seen nor heard this song in its entirety.
I caught it in an SNL skit; I saw a cartoon explaining the differences between what North Koreans and South Koreans yell at (oppressed people vs. lady butts), and now I've seen this clip.
Suffice to say, this is adequate for me.
ReplyCancelWhy can't I force myself to like Heidi? She is beautiful but I just can't get there with her.
Oh well…
ReplyCancelI'm with you cornbread. I see anything associated with this song and I avoid it. Or try to.
ReplyCancelI swear whenever I'm out and this song comes on it sounds like "open condom style" and it's all I can hear. I hate it. Lol.
ReplyCancelCalm down, everyone. The craze will be over by New Year's 2013. Or the Mayan day of reckoning, whichever comes first. 😀
ReplyCancelThe craze around this song is so played but I admit to thinking Heidi was great and I loved how she smacked his ass at the end. 🙂
ReplyCancelIf you saw my four year old boy do the dance, you would love the song. He is pretty awesome.
ReplyCancel@artemis: I am feeling the same way. For some reason I always find her a try hard: trying too hard to be sexy, funny, smart etc. Started for me when she always in your face with talking about her happy marriage, her perfect man and kids etc. If people need to talk about it so much, what are they trying to prove?
I don't know, just don't like her. She has a Gwyneth Paltrow vibe; all for show.

Today we were off to nearby Siena. At one time, Siena vied with Flroence to be the dominant city. Both grew wealthy with banking, both started to build their cathedrals, both suffered horribly from the plague. Florence recovered, Siena never did.
The bus ride was quick and pleasant, and gave us our first views of the country side, albeit from the perspective of a major highway, but we did get some treasured glimpses here and there.
Photographer's note: Obviously the two shots you see below were taken from a bus window. I did not use a poloriser filter. I slighlty underxposed my shots.
Siena is a pretty town. Small and easy to navigate. Its narrow winding streets make it easy to imagine life here in medieval times.
We followed the crowd, winding our way down, until we came to the main square Il Campo. We took a seat and ordered some food and a drink. We knew it would be pricey and not that great, but sitting and relaxing on such squares is a delight on its own.
After our short break, we found our way towards Siena's Duomo, Santa Maria Assunta. It too was built over the site of an earlier church, and we had the chance to visit parts of the old church, and marvelled how colorful were the wall decorations.
Siena, competing with Florence at the time, planned on building a church larger than Florence's. It was to be the largest church in Christendom, but alas, plagues, questionable planning and financial difficulties, forced them to build a smaller, though still impressive church.
It is impressive to see the original wall of the Nave that was built, complete with vaulted ceilings in one of the aisles, and completed windows, the original front wall, as well as parts of the other wall of the Nave. One can only imagine how the church would have looked had they completed the original plan.
The church that stands now, is still no less impressive. Its facade is highly decorated, and we can see the changing styles or architecture as it was built. Romanesque on the bottom moving to gothic at the top.
The interior of the church is very impressive, more so that Florence's Duomo. There is art everywhere. The floor itself is a site to behold, as well as the paintings and sculptures that adorn the church. Bernini, Donatello, Michelangelo, and others are all represented here.
But I was most impressed by the Piccolomini library. The scenes themselves are all superbly executed, with excellent 3D perspective that takes into account the height of the frescoes above the viewers. Even more impressive is how vibrant the colors are, even though the frescoes were painted over 500 years ago.
Equally impressive is the story that the 10 scenes recount. They recount the life of one of Siena's favorite son's. A well educated noble man sent off to make his fortune. On the way, he argues against the Pope, visits England and fathers a couple of illegitimate children, then and acts as a diplomat. He then moves and joins the Court of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III in Viena where he is crowned court poet, writing poetry, some racy stories, a play and an autobiography. He then serves on some military campaigns, and again acts as a diplomant this time between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor.
He reconciles his own differences with the Pope, renouces his old galavanting way of life with the Ladies and become a priest. Soon he is promoted to Bishop of Siena, then Cardinal and ultimately becomes Pope Pius II.
Like Florence, Siena also has a Duomo museum that is well worth the visit for the art alone. But an added highlight, was that it allowed us to walk up to the top of the high wall, that was to be the facade of the originally planned church. The views in all directions were spectacular and breath taking.
We decided not to tour the Civic Museum. It sounded interesting, but since we were here only for a day, we prefered to walk the streets, and get a feel for the city. We looked into shop windows, and of course Hera had her gelato.
Across town we came across the austere grand church of San Francesco. Surpisingly, the nearby buildings are now used as part Siena's University. I can only imagine taking a lecture in such impressive decor.
We walked a bit more, before calling it a day, and headed back to the bus station.

Before we look at the numbers, here is a brief glance at the test system that was used. All testing was done on a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All benchmarks were completed on the desktop with no other software programs running.
The Intel Z68 platform that we used to test the Intel Pentium Processor G620 was running the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard with BIOS F4
that came out on 6/22/2011. This board uses an Etron EJ168 controller for USB 3.0 and we ran driver version 220.127.116.11 (8/23/2011) on the test system. The Kingston HyperX T1 8GB 1866MHz memory kit was set to 1866MHz with 1.5v and 9-10-9-28 1T memory timings.

Detailed Information with CrystalDiskInfo 4.0.2:
We fired up CrystalDiskInfo to take a look at the health of the drive and to see the drive attributes. The one thing that we noticed by doing this is that the idle temperature of the drive was 53C. This is pretty toasting for a hard drive to idle at, but Seagate said it was within tolerances.

MKD - Unregistered April 08, 2012 7:52 PM Hanninen and Mikkelsen are in other Skoda teams and those teams are competing in IRC unlike VW Motorsport. If you mean about who will fill in the second seat for VW in WRC, that isn't decided yet and as far as I know Abbring will do only half of the events with VW this year. Mikkelsen is surely one of the strong contenders for that. 2 agree 1 disagree

[/b]WHERE THE HELL IS MINI HEROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Actually, the real question is:Where the eff is Glean 2? I know it's out. It's through with BETA and is released on other sites except this one. While it may seem petty, I exclusively play my Flash games on THIS site. If it's not here, I don't play it. And it's been bugging like no other that Glean 2 is not here. It makes me sick actually, it makes me sick that I cannot play it here. I've spend many hours with Glean1; it seems to be one of the very few decent mining games this side of the moon. That's the question.

CIINFO was created to organize independent centers for the practice of investigative journalism and other forms of high-quality journalism in the public interest. CIINFO's main mission is work with journalists who endeavor to create such centers to meet the needs of journalism in their own countries, especially in Latin America, and to use CIINFO's model and experience in setting up their projects. CIINFO provides start-up funding whenever possible, supports initial organization and structuring of the projects and conducts specialized training in investigative techniques, access to information laws and internet publication.
Board of Directors and Leadership
John Dinges, Columbia University, chair and executive director.
Peter Hakim, Inter-American Dialogue, secretary.
Sheila Coronel, Columbia University, former director, Philippines Center for Investigative Journalism, treasurer.
Thomas Blanton, National Security Archive
Charles Lewis, American University
Gerardo Reyes, Miami Herald
(affiliations for identification only)
Successful Projects
The Center has a track record of successful projects in support of investigative journalism in Latin America, including two on-going projects in Chile, and support for initiatives in Argentina, Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. Applying the CIINFO model, Executive Director John Dinges worked with a group of Chilean journalists to establish the Centro de Investigación e Información Periodística (CIPER). CIPER's staff of five full-time reporters produced more than 100 investigations during the time it was associated with CIINFO (2007-2008), and received major recognition, including the prestigious New Journalism prize from the Fundación Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano, founded by Gabriel García Márquez.
A second Chile project is ArchivosChile, established in 2009 in association with the journalism faculty of the University of Chile. The project is specifically focused on the systematic use of Chile´s new Transparency and Access to Information law to search for hitherto secret documents in government archives from the period of military dictatorship (1973-1990). Major investigations included the publication of more than 150 "Secret Laws" used by the military to conceal financial transfers to the military and the discovery of hundreds of original documents from Chile's secret police apparatus, DINA, which had been thought to have been destroyed. Many of the investigative stories were published in the Chilean newspaper La Nación. See below for links to those articles.
A premise of CIINFO's projects is the unmet need, especially in Latin America, for high quality investigative journalism in support of healthy democracies. CIINFO's model for independent centers grew out of the realization that the plethora of programs for teaching investigative journalism in universities and training working journalists in newsrooms has not been sufficient. Though important for other reasons, these training programs have not significantly increased the quantity and quality of investigative work by established news media. Existing media organizations have devoted few resources to rigorous, credible investigation of corruption and transparency problems in government and in the private sector. In-house investigative units, created in some newspapers in recent decades, have proven to be unstable institutionally and of short-lived effectiveness in most cases.
CIINFO projects seek to fill the need for effective journalism in support of democracy by following these journalistic principles and operational guidelines:
Operational guidelines:
–Creation of investigative journalism centers that are independent of established media but work in cooperation with them;
–Nonprofit financial status that incorporates both national and international funding sources;
–Operating partnerships with select universities and media organizations;
–Participation and leadership in the growing international network of independent journalism initiatives.
–Contribution to the future of quality journalism by pioneering innovation in the digital environment and on-line media.
–Creation of competitively-paid jobs in journalism for professionals whose experience qualifies them to do top investigative work.
Journalistic standards:
CIINFO promotes journalism that is exacting and nonpartisan. Our values, objectives and principles emerge from the arena of professional journalism and from the rights and responsibilities of news media institutions in a democratic, constitutional society. These include the systematic pursuit of information vital to the citizens of a free society, scrutiny and exploration of the public and private institutions that most effect ordinary citizens, the active defense of transparency in these institutions, and the advocacy of public access to all levels of information generated by tax-supported entities.
We accomplish this in projects that provide decently paid opportunities for journalists early in their career as well as for those at the top of the profession who might otherwise leave the profession or work in jobs that do not challenge their full abilities. Central to the model is training in investigative journalism and in the systematic use of access to information and transparency laws. On-line publication and distribution of material through social media is an integral part of all projects, stemming from the conviction that the future of journalism in support of democratic societies depends on the development of independent, high-quality journalism in the digital realm.
Tax-exempt status:
CIINFO is been certified by the IRS as a tax-exempt public charity under section 501(c)3 of the tax code.
Financial Support
Major funders for CIINFO projects include the Open Society Institute and the Ford Foundation.

Operación Cóndor: Kissinger ordenó no avisar a Pinochet de planes de asesinatos
La revelación de nuevos documentos desclasificados y obtenidos por la National Security Archive confirma que Estados Unidos supo de planes de asesinatos antes del atentado que dió muerte al ex canciller Orlando Letelier.
Pinochet obtuvo US$442 millones del Banco Central y la Tesorería
Las cerca de 160 leyes, dictadas secretamente por la junta militar, ordenaron retiros financieros a favor del Ejército, Armada, Fuerza Aérea y el Ministerio de Defensa. Cinco de ellas invocaron a la Ley del Cobre, mientras una sexta ley "secreta" ordenó a la Tesorería otorgar US$100 millones, sin fundamentar el mandato.
Las 150 leyes secretas de la dictadura
A 20 años del régimen militar, solo hoy es posible transparentar estos textos con que la junta liderada por Augusto Pinochet traspasó fondos, modificó la Ley del Cobre, pagó sobresueldos y designó a los fiscales militares que se hicieron cargo de los arbitrarios consejos de guerra en contra de prisioneros políticos. ArchivosChile y LND consiguieron revisar algunos textos.
Porqué la Concertación bloqueó el resurgimiento del Diario Clarín
The Curious Case of Victor Pey, CJR, May-June 2007
Published in CIPER and The Clinic, Oct. 11, 2007, in Spanish, and in Columbia Journalism Review July 2007 in English. The story is the investigation of actions of the left-of-center Concertación government in fighting the revival of the newspaper Clarín, which was once Chile´s most popular tabloid. The newspaper had been confiscated and closed by the Pinochet government. Reparations were paid by the Chilean government to a group of false claimants, according to the findings of an international tribunal, thus preventing the real owners, who declared their political affinity with the government, from reviving the newspaper.

The nieces and nephew of Lawrence, known to his family as "Bert", have dismissed a suggestion by local councillors that his ashes be returned from Taos, New Mexico, to either Nottingham or his birthplace of Eastwood in Nottinghamshire.
The ashes are housed in an 18in thick concrete shrine near the grave of Lawrence's wife Frieda, who bequeathed them to the University of New Mexico in 1956. The couple had a ranch in nearby San Cristobal, and several of his paintings are also kept at the university.
Last week the university admitted it cannot afford to maintain the site, and Nottingham City Council offered to bring the ashes back to a new pavilion at Nottingham University, where Lawrence once taught. It is an about- turn for the city and university, which rejected Lawrence, the author of Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover, after he ran off with Frieda, the wife of the Nottingham professor, Ernest Weekley. Lawrence, in turn, came to loathe the place.
Yesterday, Peggy Needham, 89, the daughter of Lawrence's elder sister Emily, rejected the idea of bringing "Uncle Bert" back to Britain. "I think it is a ridiculous idea. His wife wanted him out there. I can't see the point in trying to bring them back. The money it would cost could be used to renovate it."
Mrs Needham, who has visited the site in Taos, saw her uncle for the last time in 1926 when she was 17. He was also a regular correspondent.
"I remember him as a loving, caring uncle who was always sending little gifts," she said. "Eastwood is proud of him now for the idea of a tourist attraction, but when he was alive, they couldn't say enough against him." The town already has a museum displaying Lawrence memorabilia.
Her sister Joan, 78, added: "There's no real remains because the ashes were mixed in a block of concrete. It seems silly to us. Bert would have been amused by it all."
Another suggestion came from his nephew, Bert Clarke, 74, the son of Lawrence's younger sister Ada. "Lots of people have made millions out of his books and films, and some response should come from them to build a memorial over there."
Aldous Huxley and Frieda were at Lawrence's bedside when he succumbed to tuberculosis in 1930 in Vence, France. His wife Frieda later wrote: "The moment came when the thread of life tore in his heaving chest, his face changed, his cheeks and jaw sank, and death had taken hold of him ... There had been the change, he belonged somewhere else now, to all the elements; he was the earth and sky, but no longer a living man."
Lawrence was buried in the cemetery there, but exhumed five years later and cremated in Marseilles, where his remains were put into a wooden box and taken by Frieda's new lover, Angelo Ravagli, to New Mexico. (Ravagli subsequently claimed he dumped the box between Marseilles and Villefranche to avoid the expense of exporting it, and procured other ashes locally.)
The DH Lawrence Society in Nottingham, which claims 200 members worldwide, is also against the idea. Spokeswoman Rosemary Howard said: "There were various jokes about his ashes being left in a railway station, poor man, and other women were always wanting to steal them, which is why [Frieda] put them in a concrete block. But all of us who are really closely involved in the Lawrence work feel that we ought to respect the family's wishes."
Graham Chapman, leader of Nottingham City Council, said: "I am disappointed to hear the family's reaction. It would be a tremendous attraction to bring all the Lawrence heritage into one place rather than having it scattered across the globe, but ultimately the family's views are paramount." Milan Radulovic, Eastwood town council leader, was born in the same street as Lawrence and is more outspoken. "I feel any memorial should be a fitting and lasting tribute to one of the most important writers of this century.
"Mrs Needham is an elderly and frail person and wouldn't like to go through all the upheaval, but we are not looking at a question of where the ashes should be. It's the fact that they have fallen into disrepair; if they are going to pledge to look after the site properly, the issue is closed. But I would have thought they would be far better off in a place like Eastwood than being allowed to deteriorate in New Mexico."
In corners of foreign fields ...
DH LAWRENCE, the son of a coal miner from Nottinghamshire, is not Britain's only literary son to lie far from his roots.
The romance of it
More than a century before Lawrence, John Keats was dying in Rome. He was buried in 1821 in an unnamed grave in the city's non-Catholic cemetery; at his request, the only clue on his gravestone was that here lay a poet "whose name was writ in water". Percy Bysshe Shelley was drowned at sea and washed up at Viareggio in Italy. His ashes are in the same Roman cemetery as Keats, marked by prominent signposts. Lord Byron expressed a wish to lie next to his dog, Bosun, but in fact died of fever in Missolonghi, Greece. His body was brought back and taken for burial in the family vault at Hucknall Torkard, Nottinghamshire.
Far from home
British writers whose remains have never made it back from France include Richard Aldington, Lawrence Durrell and Aubrey Beardsley
Meanwhile, Beardsley's friend Oscar Wilde, who died in 1900, lies in state near pop star Jim Morrison at Paris's Pere-Lachaise cemetery, marked by an Epstein sculpture. Wilde's grandson Merlin Holland said: "He wasn't actually buried in Paris to begin with: they had to give him a temporary burial in Bagneux, and moved him in 1909. If you were buried in Paris, it had to be a perpetual plot, and they were expensive." The site has been designated a national monument.
Irish novelist James Joyce was also given state honour, being moved to pride of place in Zurich's Fluntern cemetery in 1966, 25 years after his death. Wartime author Robert Graves, born in Wimbledon, was a long-term resident of Deia, Majorca and opted to be buried there, with a rough-hewn gravestone bearing the simple legend "Poet".
Others who died far away include WH Auden, in Vienna; Rupert Brooke, who developed blood poisoning after being bitten by a mosquito and was buried on the Greek island of Skyros; Henry Fielding, who died in Lisbon, Portugal; and Robert Louis Stevenson, who has generated a tourist industry around his grave in Vailima, Western Samoa.

Another Latin American Leader Diagnosed With Cancer: Colombia's Santos Joins Grim List
The president of Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos, said he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will undergo surgery on Wednesday.
"I have carried out all the routine exams recommended by the doctors, and there has been an abnormal growth of the prostate-specific antigen," Santos said in a statement.
"With God's help, this will turn out to be only one of those challenges we all have to face in life."
Santos, 61, who indicated that the tumor was detected early, believes he has a very high (97 percent) chance of recovery.
The president is in the midst of preparing for historic peace talks with rebels from the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, militant organization after almost five decades of conflict.
Santos, who has been in power for more than two years, is the latest leader (or former leader) of a Latin American nation to have to confront cancer.
Dilma Rousseff, the current president of Brazil, disclosed in April 2009 that she was undergoing medical treatment for an early-stage axillar lymphoma, which is cancer of the lymphatic system. By September of that year, she finished her radiotherapy treatment and declared she was cured.
Rousseff's mentor and immediate predecessor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, disclosed he had contracted throat cancer (after a lifetime of smoking) in October 2011. Following a series of chemotherapy and radiotherapy sessions, he announced his full recovery in March 2012.
In August 2010, President Fernando Lugo of Paraguay was diagnosed with the early stages of a malignant tumor. By January 2012, he had made a full recovery.
Perhaps the highest-profile case of a Latin leader facing cancer is the ongoing saga of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, whose condition in the summer of 2011 was regarded as a mystery to the public for many months and sparked calls from the opposition that he step down.
Chavez reportedly received periodic medical treatments in Cuba (during which time he would not be seen in public for as long as a week at a time), raising questions about his viability as the country's leader. Moreover, information released by the Caracas government on the president's condition was frequently confused and contradictory.
As of July, Chavez claimed he had fully recovered (a few months prior to national elections), although questions remain about his actual health.
"I feel in very good spirits, optimistic, believing in what we're doing, in what we will do in life, and, well, my life is in the hands of God and the people, now more than ever," he told local media a few weeks ago.
Another prominent female Latin head of state, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, the president of Argentina, presented an odd twist on the cancer front. In late December 2011, her spokesman announced that she had been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and was scheduled to undergo surgery. However, one month later, the government said she was misdiagnosed.
According to the Pan American Health Organization, or PAHO, cancer rates have been soaring in Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2005, about 480,000 people in this region died from cancer -- by 2030, that figure is set to triple to more than 1.6 million.
The highest cancer mortality rates were found in Uruguay, Barbados, Peru, Argentina and Chile.
The only sitting U.S. president who was diagnosed with cancer was Ronald Reagan (colon cancer in 1985 and skin cancer in 1987).
