"Nice stop on the way to our destination"
Great hotel room, the bed was very comfortable. This was a great place for us to stay the night on the way to our destinationUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
Nice big room, with 2 TVs. Pool was nice and warm. Impressive breakfast, well stocked by worker. Right off the interstate. Problem with our reservation, but it was sorted out as soon as i printed out hotels.com confirmation in the lobby. Used laundry facilities, worked well. We travel with 4 teenage boys every year to Florida and i think we found our […] new stayover spot! Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com

"Very Good Experience"
Desk personnel friendly, efficient, courteous, the room was clean, comfortable, well appointed. We used the exercise facility and the pool and the kids tried out the sauna and said it was hot and humid. I told them that was how it was supposed to be. The breakfast had a wide assortment to choose from that was all good. I rate this property as Very Good […] and would stay there again. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
"Most Excellent!"
The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The room was awesome! Great decor and lots of space and furniture. Free wi-fi was convenient. The pool was lovely. The free breakfast had a very nice selection. I would recommend this hotel to anyone I knew that would need to be staying in the Paducah area.Ulasan otentik tamu Hotels.com
Nice place, we had a two-room suite with an HD TV in each room, it didn't cost any more than any other hotel at which I'd stayed in that area. They only had a smoking room left when I booked, but it wasn't too bad. Much much lighter traffic than at the hotels on exit 4; not much in the neighborhood but I found the gas station across the road to be adequate […] for my needs.

"A comfortable stopping point."
Our family recently traveled from Blue Springs, MO through Paducah on our way to vacation in Pigeon Forge, TN. Since we had started out in the early afternoon, we settled on this as a suitable stopping point. Our room had two beds and pull out sofa bed. We ended up in a smoking room because all non-smoking rooms were already booked. The hot breakfast […] was a perfect start to the day, but their waffle iron was on the fritz and it burned the waffles. If you need a simple stopover as a break during a long trip, this hotel will do nicely. Baca selengkapnyaUlasan otentik tamu Expedia

"BBQ on the River 2012"
Loved it. we have stayed here several times, love the prices and is convenient for all surrounding areas that we wanted to attend, eating, shopping, and the annual BBQ on the River.

It just wasn't a good experience... the smell was awful. The room didn't have any extra bedding for the fold-out couch. No toothpaste provided. Just a very sub-par room.Ulasan otentik tamu Expedia

Very easy to find, right off the freeway. The front desk lady was really nice and very helpful. Room was large and nice layout.

I've been looking at various forums with people proposing suggestions, but is there a consensus on what the collective noun is for "clouds"?
I don't know if there's some technical term used by meteorologists, but I think I'd instinctively say a "group" of clouds unless something more poetic was called for. Remember it is OK to use plain, easily understood words when the fancy ones don't buy you anything. This reminds me of the pointless list of rarely used collective nouns for animals that some people think it's vitally important to their well-being to memorise. | |||||
I'd say it depends what kind of clouds they are (wispy, thick, black etc.) and what they are doing (moving slowly/quickly, thinning, thickening etc.). One possible collective term is a "scud" of clouds - meaning fast-moving, loose, vapoury clouds. I'm sure many more exist - I will edit if I think of them. | |||
There's no consensus, but The Collective Nouns Page gives us a souffle of clouds. All Sorts has:
Answers.com suggests a scurry, a soufle and a sea of clouds. | |||||||||

When Dean goes to get Marcus, he finds Poppy--sweet, innocent, and sexy. He clings to Dean like a second skin. Dean doesn't have the heart to deny him, even when taking care of Poppy turns into a full time, and dangerous, job.

Now she has a pathetic kitty backpack from target that wont last half the school year instead and I could cry that we cant afford both. Why Threadless, why?

Crash victim awarded millions
KTVO Newsdesk
Posted: 12.04.2012 at 2:25 PM
ADAIR COUNTY, MO. -- A 12 member jury has awarded the largest damage claim ever in Adair County.
Ann Ferguson, of Greencastle, Mo., had filed suit against the Missouri Department of Transportation and one of its employees, in connection with a crash that occurred in July of 2008.
In the crash, Ferguson was driving on Route O near Novinger, when her vehicle struck a MoDOT truck from behind. The MoDOT truck had been carrying a large log, which went through the windshield of Ferguson's vehicle, seriously injuring her and killing a passenger, 10-year-old Allison Pfeiffer, of Greencastle. Another passenger, Ferguson's son Shane, who was 8 at the time, was also injured in the crash.
The jury found Ferguson to be 25% at fault in the incident, while finding MoDOT and it's employee, 75% at fault. The jury awarded Ferguson $14.6 million in damages.
Ferguson was represented in the case by Brad Kuhlman of Kansas City, A.W. Smith of Columbia and Jay Benson of Kirksville.

2010 Top 100: Under a Dark Cloud
2009 delivered some of the darkest days our industry has ever experienced. And being a Top 100 company didn't provide any shelter from the economic turbulence.
2009 delivered some of the darkest days our industry has ever experienced. And being a Top 100 company didn't provide any shelter from the economic turbulence. Quick and small commercial printers have weathered storms before, but this recession was a real beast in anyone's book.
This year's Top 100 sales decreased 15.56% on the year for a total of $512,447,521. That reflects the departure of Ginny's Printing at the request of its management. Trukmann's Reprographics also exited the list for failure to report for three consecutive years. Both companies were Top 100 members of long standing and their combined sales in 2008 totaled $27.11 million—a significant loss to the group.
(To view the 2010 Top 100 Chart as a PDF, please click here.)
Of course, a certain percentage of the list shifts from year to year. While most companies return, there are always a few that drop out and are replaced by newcomers. So in addition to comparing the companies reporting this year against last year's group, we also measure them against their own performance in the previous year. This year's group reported 2009 sales down by 13.33% compared to its own 2008 sales.
In order to avoid wild swings from one year to the next, when a company that has previously reported sales of $5 million or more fails to update its numbers, we keep it in the list, but report it as having estimated sales figures. Normally, unless we have verifiable information that tells us differently, we leave their sales at the last amount they reported. This year, however, was in no way "normal." Since the 11 companies that failed to report had to operate in the same economic conditions as everyone else in the list, it would be unfair to assume that their sales levels held steady. To achieve some semblance of fairness, we found the average sales difference for the entire group (8.88%) and reduced the sales of those 11 businesses by that amount. And yes, they were informed in advance that this would be done.
There are two companies in this year's list that have failed to update their numbers for the second year in a row. If they do not report updated sales figures next year, they will be removed from the list. They are #14 Brandon's Communications Group and #30 MarketPlaceDirect, with aggregate sales of $11.84 million.
There are 12 new companies in this year's list. The highest ranking debut company is ASAP Printing Corp. in Salt Lake City, which took the #4 spot with sales of $13.6 million. Another high ranking newcomer is #22 Elm Press of Terryville, CT, with sales of $6 million. The cutoff for making the list slipped below $2.5 million for the first time in several years. This year's bottom line was $2.25 million.
As the face of our industry segment changes, a couple of new applicants challenged our concept of what constitutes a quick/small commercial printer. You might be surprised to see a BCT among the entries. But after reviewing the services the company offers and its apparent relationship to the business community in Houston, TX, where it is based, we concluded that there was no reason to exclude it. The same goes for Pad & Publication Assembly Corporation. The company is extremely focused on a specific niche, but the equipment being used, products offered, and the way its president Joan Buehler promotes the business seem to fit the model. Both companies made the cut.
Top 10 Thunder
There was a fairly serious shakeup in the Top 10, due primarily to the exit of former #3 Ginny's Printing and a precipitous fall by last year's #5 Direct Connect Solutions. AlphaGraphics (Alphaprint), last year's #9 shop also slid out of the Top 10 to land at #12 this year.
The first two spots are still held by the quick printing divisions of commercial printers CCI/ Coakley Tech and Balmar, respectively. ColorNet/Rockville Printing & Graphics moved from #4 to #3 and the #4 spot was taken by debut company ASAP Printing. Econoprint (Madison) moved up one slot to #5, Western Graphics jumped from #8 to #6, and AccuCopy stepped from #10 to the #7 rung. Landmark Print and Hatteras Printing broke into the Top 10 at #8 and #9, respectively. Copy Central (Fairbanks Enterprises) rounded out the top dogs at #10, but that marks a slide from its previous spot at #7.

The Cavision 4 x 4" Neutral Density (ND) 0.3 Filter has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. It enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. ND filters appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film.
Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6) effectively compensates average situations.
Cavision is a Canadian company specializing in quality filters for film, broadcast and video productions. They also produce a variety of equipment including 3 x 3" and 4 x 4" matte boxes, boom poles and wide angle attachments for TV cameras.
Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses
- To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars
- To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background
- To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situation
- To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
Neutral Density Factors
- ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO to 1/2)
- ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO to 1/4)
- ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO to 1/8)
- ND1.2 (exposure adjustment = 4 stops, reduces ISO to 1/16)
- ND1.5 (exposure adjustment = 5 stops, reduces ISO to 1/32)

Sometimes, it seems, I can feel others pain, literally. I've heard of one being able to feel a woman giving birth some 500 miles away, and I can relate to that. This can be dangerous for a man who is at that time, himself, hanging by a thread.

Scammers exploit Google Doodle to spread malware
Online scammers are taking advantage of the public's interest in the Google Doodle to spread malware, a security firm warned on Tuesday.
In so-called "SEO poisoning," scammers use search engine optimization techniques to increase the distribution of malware. They create special malware-rigged Web sites or hide malware on legitimate Web sites they've compromised and then use tags associated with popular search terms to get them listed high up in search engine results.
Typically, scammers capitalize on public interest in news events or celebrities, targeting searches like "Swine Flu" or "Michael Jackson death." … Read more

Community-Based Assessment Makes the Grade
In scoring student performance, top marks go to teachers rather than the testing industry.
Credit: Jason Lee
We're fast approaching a point in this country when the promotion or graduation of students will result not from their classroom work or the opinions of the educators who spend each day with them but from their performance on a single standardized test. Because I've spent the last 15 years inside the testing industry -- working for many of the biggest companies on many of the biggest tests -- this trend doesn't seem so smart to me.
In fact, I'd say linking federal education funds to regional standardized test scores (as No Child Left Behind does) or teacher pay to student test results (the probable, but unintended, outcome of President Obama's Race to the Top program) are ideas that should be reconsidered.
My complaint with large-scale assessment does not lie with the multiple-choice tests, because those are scored electronically. The real trouble begins in the realm of open-ended tests, where students answer questions in their own words and are assessed by fallible human beings. The testing industry wants those subjective student responses to be scored as consistently as multiple-choice tests.
To do this, the industry establishes hard-and-fast rules for its short-term "professional scorers" to adhere to. In my experience, these rules -- written for recently hired temporary employees -- ultimately turn the process into a theater of the absurd. I know, because I've sat through the training sessions.
Working on a national assessment test in 2005, I helped establish scoring rules for a test question that asked students performing a hands-on science task to describe what happened when they mixed a liquid and a solid. The rubric, written by classroom teachers, said full credit should be awarded to answers showing "complete understanding."
But everyone had a different idea of "complete understanding." So the test company tried to specify exactly what that meant. I sat in on a lengthy conference call filled with test developers and science teachers as we tried to hammer out the right and wrong student responses, and I was amazed as those earnest educators considered potential responses.
"If we accept 'The liquid bubbled,'" one scientist said, "then I don't see how we can't accept 'It sizzled.'"
"But sizzled isn't the same as bubbled," another argued, and soon everyone on the phone was debating whether boiled meant the same as sizzled, fizzled the same as sizzled, fizzed the same as fizzled.
When people ask how I would reform standardized testing, I point to models that work on a smaller scale. In the current system, temporary employees must adhere to unyielding rules established to deal with tens of thousands of student responses. A reformed system would have a smaller number of scorers assessing the work of a smaller number of students. This means placing assessment back in the hands of the teacher who can make thoughtful decisions about the students he or she knows.
If small-scale assessment sounds like an expensive solution that won't fly in today's economy, consider Washington State's recent achievements. In response to a 2004 ballot initiative, the state rolled out a comprehensive classroom-based-assessment program for social studies, health, and the arts. These CBAs are written and administered on the state level, but student results are assessed by classroom teachers. This makes for a win-win: Administrators and policy makers receive standardized results across the state, and students are spared the obvious downfalls of large-scale test scoring.
Organizations like Boston-based FairTest consider programs such as Washington's to be authentic assessments. This is because the CBAs are based on student performances or portfolios they produce over a period of time. In this scenario, assessment no longer rests on the open-ended answers that students recall on one stressful day.
It is increasingly important to change the testing industry. Race to the Top is based on national assessment criteria, and that is set to become the new gatekeeper for federal education funding. Absent reform, we are placing life-changing assessments about students in the hands of bored temps who give fleeting glances to students' work.

First of all I would like to
First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you! building a rabbit fence
Food for Thought
Depressing reading, Todd - especially as Australia we seem to be determined to head down the path to large scale standardized testing, with only the unions to prevent it happening.
Making the grade
Farley's assessment of assessment is spot on. Race to the Top is yet another attempt to quantify an education - we can establish standards and improve pedagogy but we cannot quantify an education. That educators and psychometricians cannot agree on descriptors from boiled to fizzled reflects the problem, and danger, in trying to quantify (specifically, determine Pass/Fail) an education. If children, along with trained scientists, educators and test-makers, interpret results of an experiment to the best of their ability we need to accept both their (the children) effort and interpretation. Washington State's assessment seems to be closer to what can be called authentic because whether or not a child passes or fails a state test should be less important than she grasp a particular concept.

A Threat to Agriculture and the Food Supply
GAO-04-259T, Nov 19, 2003

When the President created the Department of Homeland Security, he included U.S. agriculture and food industries in the list of critical infrastructures needing protection. The Secretaries of Agriculture and of Health and Human Services have publicly declared that the U.S. food supply is susceptible to deliberate contamination. GAO was asked to provide an overview of the potential vulnerabilities of the food supply and agriculture sector to deliberate contamination and to summarize four recent GAO reports that identified problems with federal oversight that could leave the nation's agriculture and food supply vulnerable to deliberate contamination.
Bioterrorism attacks could be directed at many different targets in the farm-to-table food continuum, including crops, livestock, food products in the processing and distribution chain, wholesale and retail facilities, storage facilities, transportation, and food and agriculture research laboratories. Experts believe that terrorists would attack livestock and crops if their primary intent was to cause severe economic dislocation. The U.S. agriculture sector accounts for about 13 percent of the gross domestic product and 18 percent of domestic employment. Terrorists may decide to contaminate finished food products if harm to humans was their motive. Four recent GAO reports found gaps in federal controls for protecting agriculture and the food supply. Thus, the United States would be vulnerable to deliberate efforts to undermine its agriculture industries, deliberate tampering of food during production, and the release of deadly animal diseases, some of which also affect humans. GAO found, for example, border inspectors were not provided guidance on foot-and-mouth disease prevention activities in response to the 2001 European outbreak, inspection resources could not handle the magnitude of international passengers and cargo, and new technology used to scan shipments at a bulk mail facility was operating only part-time and in only that facility. Such careful controls over imported foods can help to prevent pathogens from contaminating U.S. cattle with devastating diseases that have struck many other countries. GAO also found that federal overseers did not have clear authority to impose requirements on food processors to ensure security at those facilities. Finally, GAO found security problems at Plum Island--a large government-operated animal disease research facility. GAO found that scientists from other countries, facility workers, and students had access to areas containing high-risk pathogens without having completed background checks and the required escorts. Following are the four reports discussed in this testimony: (1) Foot and Mouth Disease: To Protect U.S. Livestock, USDA Must Remain Vigilant and Resolve Outstanding Issues, U.S. General Accounting Office, GAO-02-808 (Washington, D.C.: July 26, 2002); (2) Mad Cow Disease: Improvements in the Animal Feed Ban and Other Regulatory Areas Would Strengthen U.S. Prevention Efforts, U.S. General Accounting Office, GAO-02-183 (Washington, D.C.: January 25, 2002); (3) Food-Processing Security: Voluntary Efforts Are Under Way, but Federal Agencies Cannot Fully Assess Their Implementation, U.S. General Accounting Office, GAO-03-342 (Washington, D.C.: February 14, 2003); and (4) Combating Bioterrorism: Actions Needed to Improve Security at Plum Island Animal Disease Center, U.S. General Accounting Office, GAO- 03-847 (Washington, D.C.: September 19, 2003).

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Laid out -- last three trapped.
Somehow as usual it involves yet more government but does government create jobs.
Bob bloody created real jobs about 700 he built a business.
And Steve Forbes runs the magazine that calls itself probably a capitalists -- because he understands real jobs are created by capitalism.
But Steve I don't think people get that because polls show what you want government to do create jobs.
All government can do John is create the environment where people go out and create jobs -- -- the government can just -- jobs they could just pay people to do stuff.
-- magicians can create rabbits but not -- its.
It's not not in the real -- And and and so -- when they.
Government tries to do -- businesses do you get Solyndra it's meritocracy vs cronyism.
And we have an environment are entrepreneurs can do real things.
And chief success and accept failure not get bailed out by the government.
By golly this economy creates jobs and allows people to move ahead as Abraham Lincoln said improve your lot in life.
Government keeps people and their place.
Government -- opportunities because government does not know how to create things real people do.
-- the people and they will do it.
-- -- years ago to start a business you make kitchen ventilation systems fans that suck up the bad air.
And now government wants to make your business better and I see there about seven -- nine pages from the Energy Department.
That they're going to help you.
Health all of you.
That continue mention -- small enterprise focusing on 79 pages of new government regulation.
Many -- the manufactures and our business are very small you know other resources to do this it'll.
At 79 pages it's too abstract but I tried to read any of this -- in how.
No notice of for pool proposed rule making customers subgroup analysis section thirteen.
Complete MIA missing in action it's unintelligible.
And it but what they're trying to do is make your.
-- use less electricity.
We already use them the smallest amount of electricity we can we have a very efficient and industry.
It's essentially we have a paradox here the president wants to create jobs but he wants regulators to death.
As Steve Forbes mentioned the key to creating jobs is freedom creativity.
The involvement of families -- investment small investments that are made over very long periods of time and government.
Dampens that for all of our company.
John the thing to keep in mind is you don't succeed in a true free market unless you meet the needs and wants of other people.
So even if -- the caricature Obama nesting for money and all like kind of stuff.
If you don't better sure Obama the one that he.
Paper -- pays a view of -- plus -- being -- -- all like kind of thing can take your no -- over your pile of money yes and and helping people get more miserable.
It's it's it's absolutely perverse.
But even if you lust for money John you don't get it -- should provide something that somebody else wants.
And that's why in terms of electricity that the market wants more efficient fans.
Bob will provide them and other entrepreneurs will provide them.
Government -- -- -- markets respond just take the cellphone you know the thing thirty years ago because a shoe box.
Cost 3995.
Dollars the President Obama had been involved not -- today.
Dollars and could -- be talking.
Brings us some stuff.
But the president says it's not fair -- CEOs that you you get all the money and the average person doesn't get any.
And that's not fair he's gonna raise the minimum wage.
Sounds fair to people if CEOs are making a lot of money than they must have an awful lot of success and they must of police a lot of customers.
Just like baseball players do or movie actresses.
All right but raise the minimum wage for the guys at the bottom.
With the guys at the bottom are teenagers and what is gonna do is just taking out all this jobs I -- for 85 cents an hour and I was in high school.
And I was very happy to have that job.
John when people start out -- life they don't have the skills.
This in May when you get taken an entry level job.
You start to get the skills to move up start to get to higher wages as you get more skills what this -- does is create more teenage unemployment they never get a chance to -- of the workforce of Paramount who are most at.
People applauding that line.
They get it they're the ones hurt the most by the stuff the president said six million new jobs have been created since he took office.
Yes as if he created them what he left out is.
That -- -- pay of those jobs John overall their low skill low wage jobs not the kind of diversity of job creation we -- with Ronald Reagan.
And with Bill Clinton we had an environment or -- commercial not punished for trying to do real things.
-- sense the public is against you or look in yesterday's New York Times.
Big front page story young.
Voters are liberal and open to big government.
And when you poll people young people especially what you want government to do create jobs so we understand -- somehow a free market does that.
But we're not.
Within the hearts and -- John that the free lunch always sounds good going in -- 60%.
Of the small business job creators.
In a recent survey said that.
The federal government.
Is hostile to small business now how can the federal government be hostile small business and create jobs it can't happen it's a paradox.
And I mean eat your CEOs in general have been -- they have not wanted to participate in the public debate you're -- -- -- or CEOs to speak out but this small business.
People are speaking out.
In this survey saying that the federal government's hostile.
And it's that inhibits job creation.
It dampens freedom just like our friends -- at the Department of Energy was 79 pages of regulation so why don't more entrepreneur -- were CEOs speak about -- they're intimidated by political correctness and and they're afraid of the federal government frankly.
That if they speak out they'll be regular absolutely.
Or they may be targeted by the IRS who knows.
Look -- look what had to happen to Standard and Poor's.
They did -- poor job but sort of their competitors who gets targeted standard poor's lowers the rating of the government government targets them.
A -- told.
Next to Michelle Obama -- was head of apple Tim Cook.
And what that I thought that there's a big difference there -- Obama's praising gives us.
But Obama now that he's one has a captive customer base for four years.
You and Tim Cook yet to please your customers every second -- you lose them in you lose everything -- -- Big difference.
And CEO turnovers the highest it's ever been.
You -- all of us feel sorry for on the page view you well the market works.
If you're paying a lot -- expect to deliver if you don't out should go who wish we had that kind of thing and baseball.
Or in politics thank you -- -- -- --

On North Korea's national airline the sound system blares patriotic music at passengers from the moment they get on the plane until the moment they step off the aircraft. The volume is so loud that earphones fail to drown out the socialist anthems. Even in the tiny bathroom, there is no escape. Next to the sink, a speaker continues to blast occupants with paeans to the people's paradise.
The inescapable soundtrack aboard the Air Koryo plane is a fitting metaphor for my recent five-day trip to Pyongyang. It was a tightly-restricted, carefully stage-managed tour rich with propaganda and political theater and little else: It offered virtually no insight into what life is like for ordinary citizens who live in this rigid dictatorship.
For a foreign journalist it was like trying to peer through a keyhole -- and being left to guess at the hidden world on the other side of the door.
The North Korean regime invited more than a dozen television crews from around the world to see its lavish celebration of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the armistice that brought an end to the fighting for the Korean War.
In a characteristic burst of revisionist history, Pyongyang refers to this as its "grand victory against US imperialists in the Fatherland Liberation War."
This was the image the North Korean leadership wanted to present to the outside world: endless parades of goose-stepping soldiers and military hardware, accompanied by huge demonstrations of popular support for Kim Jong Un, the twenty-something leader who inherited the dynastic throne when his father died in 2011.
The relatively inexperienced grandson has a striking -- some say deliberate -- resemblance to his grandfather Kim Il Sung, the long-dead founder of communist North Korea.
"They're trying to connect Kim Il Sung to Kim Jong Un," said Han Park, a professor of International Relations at the University of Georgia. Park spoke to CNN after the grandson inaugurated an enormous new Korean War museum, dominated by giant portraits and statues of a youthful Kim Il Sung.
The sight of the corpulent Kim Jong Un touring the gilded new museum contrasted sharply with appalling statistics recently released by the United Nations. Last month, the U.N.'s World Food Program called for donated foreign food aid to be distributed to 2.4 million North Korean women and children for "the prevention and cure of moderate acute malnutrition among children (6 months -- 4 years old) and their mothers." Those 2.4 million people amount to roughly 10% of the Korean population. Up to a million North Koreans are believed to have died in a famine when this country's state-controlled economy all but collapsed in the 1990s.
The visit to Pyongyang marked the most strictly controlled foreign assignment of my journalistic career. North Korea was more restrictive than previous reporting trips to Iran and even Moammar Gadhafi's Libya at a time when his regime was trying -- and ultimately failing -- to survive a NATO bombing campaign.
We were not allowed to leave the confines of the Yanggakdo International Hotel unless we were riding a government bus. During my five days in North Korea, the authorities did not even allow me to see what the country's currency looks like.
Two unfailingly polite government minders -- one junior, one senior -- were assigned to remain at the side of our three-man television crew at all times. Aside from arrival and departure from the airport, I estimate our buses remained within a roughly five square-mile perimeter in the center of Pyongyang for five days.
This bubble of cityscape consisted of gleaming monuments to the Kim dynasty, Soviet-style apartment buildings, tidy streets largely empty of vehicular traffic and manicured lawns. On several occasions, I saw kneeling North Korean laborers trimming the lawns by hand.
At night, the city was eerily dark. Electricity appeared to be in short supply. On the pitch-black night-time drive from the airport to the hotel, our bus briefly illuminated pedestrians walking in the darkness on the shoulder of the highway. They didn't even have flashlights.
The authorities made no pretense of allowing us to film freely. The elder of the two government guides routinely instructed us to stop taking pictures. At one point, when I asked why I couldn't shoot photos of pedestrians from the window of our moving bus, our senior minder told me: "We don't want journalists spreading vicious propaganda about our country."
"When you search on the internet, it is full of photos of North Koreans wearing rags," our senior minder explained, revealing that he was one of the elite few allowed access to what was said about North Korea in the outside world.
For five days we were taken to a series of government ceremonies: the opening of a new veterans' cemetery, the mass Arirang Games -- a truly mind-boggling performance boasting a choreographed cast of thousands -- and the most surreal event of all: the Kimjongilia and Kimilsungia Flower Festival.
The celebration focused on a red blossom and a purple orchid which were named after the two former rulers of the country. Organizers had erected floral pavilions, interlacing flowers with images of the two leaders and pictures of missiles, tanks, and other North Korean war machines.
"When you look at these flowers we feel great yearning for our leaders," said Ri Su Jong, a 21-year old woman who worked as an official guide at the festival. She said there were more than 20,000 flowerpots at the exhibit. When I asked her which flower she preferred, Ri immediately answered: "I love both."
Sadly, I believe I failed to have a sincere, open conversation with a single North Korean during my time there. The discipline and control exhibited by the government in Pyongyang was almost complete. It was a sharp contrast to my experience in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, when foreign visitors had easy access to black market traders greedy for Western cigarettes, chewing gum and blue jeans outside government hotels.
In Pyongyang, interviews with veterans and parade-goers quickly turned into fervid denunciations of U.S. imperialism, before we were whisked away by our minders.
I did learn from a group of schoolchildren, who had been brought to bow before the final resting place of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, that they liked swimming in the ocean and roller-blading.
But when I asked a 12-year old boy about his favorite TV shows, he answered: "Cartoons and documentaries about Kim Il Sung."
It is possible that all of the school children in North Korea love and adore the founding father of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
But one exchange with our junior minder suggested that some North Koreans had an appetite for more than biographies about their leaders. "Which movie stars do you like?" the 21-year old asked me over a tasty Korean lunch of locally-brewed beer and cold buckwheat noodles. Our junior minder liked Brad Pitt. He went on to tell me that he had been allowed to watch several Hollywood movies in his university English class. With the exception of the thriller "Se7en" and the comedy "Big Daddy," they were mostly historical period pieces: "Troy," "Gladiator," and "The Sound of Music." He asked: "Do you know the song 'Eidelweiss'?"
