【 Special Lecture 2 】
Implications and Lessons of June 15 Inter-Korean Summit
Lim Dong-won,
former Unification Minister
Inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation is in crisis, which came hard only at the end of a half-century old Cold War ridden with distrust and confrontation. I can not but feel sad and perplexed to commemorate the 9th anniversary of June 15 inter-Korean summit amid currently raised tensions and escalated crisis. Nevertheless we gathered here to ruminate over the historic implications of the June 15 Joint Declaration that lit up the road ahead of the Korean people and to guard its important spirit.
[Background of the South-North Summit]
The Kim Dae-jung government (hereinafter "People's government") inherited the financial crisis and the frozen South-North relationship. The situation got worse as security crisis was added. There was an ill-grounded suspicion that North Korea had underground nuclear facilities in Keunchang-ri. The tension was heightened in the Korean peninsula as American hardliners argued for surgical strikes on North Korea after Pyongyang's launch of Daepodong1 missile.
In his inaugural address, President Kim Dae-jung offered a proposal to have the inter-Korean summit, and put the Sunshine Policy in action with patience and consistency. Adopting the principle of segregating politics and economy, the government approached North Korea with economic agenda, while Hyundai founder Jung Joo-young pushed forward with the Mt. Geungang tourism project. The project helped relieve tensions between two Koreas and find way out of the economic difficulties of South Korea by improving Korea's national credibility in the international community. Also the project was effective in thawing the frozen inter-Korean relationship.
In the mean time, the People's government communicated the following messages to the US administration. "North's nuclear and missile issue is the byproduct of the hostility between the US and North Korea. Pressure and containment can't effectively stop North Korea. We have to create a safe security environment that does not required nuclear arms and establish mutual trust. With an attitude of seeing the wood for the trees, we have to take the give and take approach to matters concerning North Korea. With the fundamental and comprehensive approach aiming at ending the Cold War on the Korean peninsula once and for all, the US should improve the bilateral relationship with North Korea and settle peace on the peninsula." The Clinton administration accepted our proposal and embarked on "Peace process on the Korean peninsula" jointly with Seoul. Along with the efforts for improvement of inter-Korean relationship, America and Japan began the endeavor to improve their relationship with North Korea.
Against this backdrop, the historic inter-Korean summit became a reality. President Kim Dae-jung succeeded in turning a new chapter in the Korean history through the epoch-making event.
[Result of the summit]
Running the risks of visiting the literally uncharted territory, President Kim reached the very heart of North Korea and had meetings with Chairman Kim Jong-il during his Pyongyang stay for two nights and three days. In those meetings, President Kim exchanged candid opinions and went through consultations with Chairman Kim Jong-il. His prudent and bold endeavor finally bore fruit in the form of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration.
The first agenda on the table for the two leaders was peace on the Korean peninsula and unification. Agreeing that war would be self-destructive for the whole nation, they pledged non-aggression for each other. In recognition of the understanding that the whole Korea could be better off when Pyongyang and Washington end enmity, both agreed to make consorted efforts toward that direction. Since then, the missile negotiations had taken place between America and North Korea. What happened next were State Secretary Albright's visit to Pyongyang and initiation of the preparation process for the US-North Korea summit. These are still fresh in our memory.
The matter of unification has always been intertwined with improvement and development of the inter-Korean relationship. If one insists on unification by force or absorption, improvement in South-North relationship can not be expected. The two top leaders shared an understanding that unification is a process as well as an objective, and agreed that unification should be achieved in a gradual and phased manner based on the principles of self-reliance and peace. That is, the South and North, before achieving de jure unification, decided to move towards the state of "de facto unification", where two sides exchanges and cooperates in various fronts. In order to jointly manage and facilitate the long process leading to peace and unification, the two leaders also agreed that "South-North Confederation" was needed as a cooperation and facilitation body.
Based on the understanding that confidence building was the most urgent task and would be achieved only through actions, not words, the two leaders decided to promote multi-dimensional exchanges and cooperation to build mutual trust.
Before the presidential visit to Pyongyang, the majority of Koreans in the South held rather a pessimistic view that the inter-Korean summit would carry its intrinsic value for itself, but be hardly meaningful to a degree, where it could result in any significant outcome. However, with great results coming out of the summit, Koreans turned in favor of the government's endeavor with the absolute support rate of 95%. Many countries including America and China highly recognized the outcomes of the South-North summit. The UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a resolution in welcoming and supporting the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration.
[Implications and lessons of the Joint Declaration]
Largely there are four points.
First, June 15 Joint Declaration lit up the road to peace and unification for Korean people. Peaceful unification is a goal that we have to achieve. It will not come from the outside or with our hands down. It is in effect a "process," by which the South and the North should work together and take all the necessary steps through reconciliation and cooperation. This agreement is in compliance with the Constitution of Republic of Korea that stipulates a "peaceful unification", and the "Unification through National Community" formula that is crafted in 1989 reflecting collective wishes of all Koreans. We have to guard against the argument that South Korea should come up with a new unification formula, which overthrow the idea of "unification as a process." If zero-sum game is pursued without well-defined unification philosophy, peace and unification will walk away and tension will rise, leaving the region at the risk of conflict.
Secondly, the June 15 Joint Declaration is action-oriented. The major driving force for improvement of the inter-Korea relationship was from implementation of the five agreed focus projects.
The Peace Corridor was established, linking the main artery of the Korean peninsular of railroads and inland roads. The Gaesung Industrial Complex was constructed to pursue common interest essentially with combination of capital and technology from the South and labor forces and lands from the North. Over 100 companies in the Complex hired 40,000 North Korean workers. 1.93 million people travelled Mt. Geumgang. 20,000 people of 4,000 families found their separated family members. 550,000 people cross-visited the South and the North for economic, social and cultural exchanges. More than 240 talks between South and North authorities were held. These were a significant beginning by any measure.
On the contrary, since the incumbent government took office, all cooperative projects have come to a halt but the Gaesung Industrial Complex, which barely maintains its slander existence. It is truly worrisome and troubling to see the hard-earned mutual trust break down. Things should be back on track as soon as possible.
Thirdly, the Joint Declaration opened a new era of reconciliation and cooperation, marking the end of a half-century old distrust and confrontation. As the agreed terms of the declaration were put into action, animosity between two Koreas began fading away with eased tension. With growing Korean people's communality, mutual trust began to bud.
But the current government has been failing to take a trustworthy attitude to the Northern request to "acknowledge and implement the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration which Seoul and Pyongyang signed for cooperation," and win favorable support from Pyongyang as a result. It is deeply regretable. Rather than regressing to the era of distrust and confrontation, the Seoul government should respect and succeed the sprit of the Joint Declaration, and steer the policy direction back to the road of reconciliation and cooperation.
Fourthly, the June 15 Joint Declaration enhanced our self-confidence that we can address National issues on our own, no longer being left at the mercy of outside forces, and also elevated the Korean people's esteem.
As opposed to the belief that an amicable US-Korea alliance would ensure resolution of the inter-Korean issues without much efforts from our side, we proved that when the direct stakeholders of the South and the North in the inter-Korean matters reached an agreement, we could earn international support and cooperation including that of the US, and show that we could shape our own destiny.
Intra-Korean cooperation and international cooperation are not contradictory, but complementary. It is time for us to gather wisdom to address the denuclearization issue with international cooperation and the national peninsula issue with inter-Korean cooperation in parallel.
It is time for us to build a proactive peace directed towards unification by guarding the spirit of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration, staying away from a passive peace that fixates the state of division. It is time for us to activate economic cooperation to form an economic community, while controlling and reducing arms, whereby establishing the South-North Confederation to realize the de-facto unification.
To this end, Seoul will have to officially announce its compliance with the Joint Declaration, immediately resume the Geumgangsan tourism business that Seoul put on hold, provide humanitarian aids, and take measures to boost the Gaesung Industrial Complex. The government should find ways to ease tensions and improve the inter-Korean relations not by lip service but by sincere dialogue and deeds. For its part, North Korea should stop speaking ill of South Korea and military threats, and come out for dialogue and negotiations in search for co-existence and co-prosperity.
Only when animosity between the US and North Korea dies down so that their relationship is normalized, North Korean nuclear and missile issues will be solved, and the peace regime will be settled on the Korean peninsula. The last two decades proved that pressure and containments were not effective, but just backfired. The Korean government should be able to stand at the forefront of ending the Cold War and settling down peace on the Korean peninsula by convincing the Obama administration that it has to come out for fundamental and comprehensive resolutions to Korean issues just like the past Korean government did for the Clinton administration.
Last but not least, let me wish that the 10th anniversary of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration can be hosted by both South and North Koreas with much celebration. In order to make that wish come true, we must not spare any efforts for betterment of the inter-Korean relationship.
Thank you.

1981 AFC Divisional Playoff Game
January 2, 1982
Rolf Benirschke's 29-yard field goal with 1:08 left in overtime gave San Diego a 41-38 victory over Miami in the highest-scoring playoff game in NFL history at that time. Benirschke redeemed himself after missing a 27-yard attempt at the beginning of overtime. He got a second chance after Miami's Uwe von Schamann's 35-yard field goal try in overtime was blocked by San Diego's Leroy Jones.
The Chargers opened a 24-0 lead in the first period, but Miami rallied to tie the game on the first series of the third period when quarterback Don Strock hit Joe Rose with a nine-yard touchdown pass. The Chargers went ahead 31-24 when quarterback Dan Fouts passed 25 yards to Kellen Winslow.
The next two touchdowns were Miami's before San Diego tied the score at thirty-eight near the end of regulation when Fouts on a nine-yard scoring pass. Fouts set NFL playoff records for most completions (33), most attempts (53), and most yards (433). Winslow set a playoff record for most receptions (13 for 166 yards). San Diego's Chuck Muncie rushed 24 times for 120 yards and scored his twentieth touchdown of the year, a one-yard run in the first period. Strock, who relieved David Woodley, had the best day of his career. He completed 29 of 43 passes for 403 yards.
ROLF BENIRSCHKE redeemed himself to become the hero of the game. After missing a 27-yarder early in OT, he nailed the game-winner at the 13:52 mark of overtime. (Photo: NFL Photos)

text: The episode of Castle last night had a bit of a science fiction flair. Someone who was briefly a suspect claimed to be from the future and that he had come back to prevent something that would have a disastrous effect in is time so twenty or thirty years in the future. Well Castle liked the story but really didn't totally believe it while Becket didn't believe it at all. Then at the end when the true bad guy had been caught and the guy still claiming to be from the future, two weird things happened. When the guy was leaving he left a "gadget" he had that he said allowed him to trace someone and Castle ran after him to give it to him. Castle was right behind him when he made a turn in the corridor but when Castle made the turn the guy had disappeared. Then when Becket was leaving, she knocked over a cup of coffee that spilled onto the original of a letter that a photo of had been part of their evidence. In the photo there was a stain on the letter and only after Becket spilled the coffee was there an identical stain on the original.

Normally doled out in 15-minute helpings during Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is the sort of thing a bright, underachieving college student might come up with while sitting in a fast-food joint at 4 a.m., after doing the kinds of things that cause college students to crave salty snacks in the middle of the night. Aggressively plotless and animated with deliberate crudity, the series — yes, the one whose publicity stunt backfired in Boston, which was not amused — chronicles the adventures, or more often non-adventures, of a talking milkshake, meatball and order of fries.
"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters" does much the same, only with a sixfold running time. Creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, who wrote and directed the film, don't seem to have lost much sleep worrying about whether the series' free-associative looseness might wear thin at feature length. Just when you've gotten used to the idea of ambulatory fast food, up pops an alien shaped like a slice of watermelon. Should that not sufficiently blow your mind, said slice is accompanied by Neal Peart, the drummer from the progressive rock band Rush (doing his own voice, and presumably his own solos).
Self-aware to a fault, the movie is post-explanation, post-narrative and, most important, post-effort, which makes plot summary not only undesirable but unwise. Master Shake (voiced by Dana Snyder), Meatwad (Willis) and Frylock (Carey Means) are minding their own business when they come into possession of the Insan-o-flex, an exercise machine that, when assembled, turns into a giant robot whose rampaging tendencies threaten all of New Jersey and points beyond. As a mohawked droid apparently known as the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past warns, "The world as you know it will become a world as you have never known it, starring Chow Yun-Fat."
There's also an evil scientist whose lair is rapidly going condo, a pair of angular blobs from somewhere beyond Pluto, a diaper-wearing arachnid DJ and two square-edged space creatures straight out of a primitive video game. Did I mention Time Lincoln?
How this all fits together isn't the point, or rather the point is that it doesn't. The last thing Maiellaro and Willis would want is to get caught trying too hard.
When it works, there's an appealing absurdity to the left-field gags. It's doubtful a more structured approach could have accommodated the movie's dizzying flurry of half-submerged references (a stray line from "War Games") and outright lifts (a plot turn nicked from "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes").
Still, a little of this junk-drawer fusillade goes a long way. It would have been interesting to see Maiellaro and Willis up the ante for their big-screen outing, rather than simply riffing at greater length.
The movie never becomes tiresome, but only because it demands so little effort.
"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters." MPAA rating: R for crude and sexual humor, violent images and language. Running time: 1 hour, 29 minutes. In general release.

Temple Welcomes Fordham To North Philadelphia
February 1, 2012 1:17 PM
By Matt Leon
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Temple Owls will be home tonight, going for a 5th straight win as they host Fordham.
The Owls are 15-5 on the season and coming off Saturday's big win over St. Joe's. Fordham comes into this game 9-11.
Last season the Owls swept a pair of meetings with the Rams, including a 77-66 decision at the Liacouras Center.
Fordham's top weapon is junior forward Chris Gaston, who leads the team in scoring (15.7) and the conference in rebounding (10.3).
KYW's Matt Leon spoke with the radio voice of the Owls, KYW's own Harry Donahue, to break down the match-up.

Please note that as with all exhibitions on the first floor of the National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology and in the absence of lift, this exhibition is regrettably not wheelchair accessible. See further accessibility details.
This exhibition documents the Viking Age in Ireland from c.800 AD to c.1150 AD. Initial contact with the Vikings is evident in material found in Viking graves of the ninth and 10th Centuries in Ireland. Finds from Irish settlement sites of the ninth and 10th Centuries illustrate rural life, and a selection of silver ornaments indicates the wealth of Scandinavian and Irish settlements of this period.
At the centre of the exhibition is a display of finds from the Museum's Dublin excavations, carried out between 1962 and 1981. This represents the finest collection of excavation finds from an early medieval urban centre anywhere in Europe.
A final section displays ecclesiastical metalwork of the 11th and 12th Centuries, which shows the fusion of Scandinavian and Irish art styles at the close of the Viking Age.
Coinciding with our Clontarf 1014 temporary exhibition opening on the 10th April 2014, we have developed eight videos on Viking Ireland.
Location: National Museum of Ireland - Archaeology, First Floor, Kildare Street, Dublin 2.

Tomato Recipes
Roasted Cherry Tomatoes
Cooked with olive oil and herbs, these Roasted Cherry Tomatoes will burst and release their juices for an extra layer of seasoning.
Sunday Sauce with Sausage and Braciole
Ask anybody's nonna: Making Sunday sauce is not an exact science. You can use other meats—like thick pork chops or short ribs—in place of or in addition to the ones listed here.
Tomato Farrotto with Sardines
Fresh sardines are only sporadically available, so we've recommended using canned sardines here. By all means broil fresh sardines if your fishmonger has them. If you go with canned, spend a little money on them: Imported Portuguese and Spanish sardines such as Cole's and Matiz taste much better than the grocery store staples. You could also use good-quality tuna—again, imported canned tuna, or line-caught albacore from the Western U.S., will taste best. A time-saving tip: Soaking the farro overnight (or at least during the day while you are at work) will give you a running start with this dish.
Poached Cod with Tomato and Saffron
You want to cook the cod at a lazy simmer; it will make all the difference between buttery, flaky fish and rubbery, tough fillets.
Lamb Pot Roast with Oranges and Olives
This meltingly tender and flavorful Lamb Pot Roast with Oranges and Olives has true star appeal. Show off even more by making your own beef stock (click for recipe).
Baked Sardines in Pepperonata
"If you don't like sardines," says Gjelina chef Travis Lett, "you're going to today." Make sure to ask your fishmonger to remove the center bones for these baked sardines but leave the head and tail intact and serve over pepperonata.
Bucatini with Butter-Roasted Tomato Sauce
Roasting intensifies the flavor of canned tomatoes.
Black Bean Soup with Roasted Poblano Chiles
Choose dried chiles that are fairly flexible, a sign they're not too old.
Red Wine–Braised Short Ribs with Carrots
These Red-Wine Braised Short Ribs with Carrots are the perfect crowd-pleasing dinner party entrée.

Five-Year Review [PDF 209 KB, 1 pp]
EPA added the Imperial Oil Company, Inc./Champion Chemicals site in Morganville, New Jersey to the Superfund National Priorities List on September 1, 1983 because hazardous chemicals were found in site soils and underlying ground water. The 15 acre site located in Monmouth County contained a facility that operated an oil reclamation process. Prior to Imperial Oil, other companies operated at the site, including a chemical processing plant which produced arsenical pesticides, followed by a manufacturer of flavors and essences. The site contains a contaminated pond and a stream to the north, Birch Swamp Brook, that flows through a bog northwest of the site and then drains into Lake Lefferts, located approximately 1.25 miles north of the site. Wetlands and wooded areas are also within the vicinity of the site.
The ground water is contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, PCBs, arsenic and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are contaminants that evaporate easily into the air. Furthermore, a layer of concentrated oily liquid (called LNAPL for light non-aqueous phase liquid) is present on top of the groundwater underneath the former waste pile area and the northern corner of the subject property. Soil contamination consists of elevated levels of VOCs, semi-volatile organic compounds, petroleum hydrocarbons, PCBs, pesticides and the metals arsenic and lead. The surrounding wetlands are also affected.
EPA's immediate actions began in 1991 with the excavation of 660 cubic yards of a waste filter clay pile contaminated with PCBs, arsenic, lead and petroleum hydrocarbons. Also in 1991, EPA began operation of an oil/water treatment system to remove the oily layer (LNAPL) from the surface of the ground water beneath the site. EPA also excavated and removed several buried drums that were discovered during the installation of the water treatment system. In 2002, a 625 square foot area of soil on the perimeter of the site that contained a tar-like substance was removed.
Efforts were taken to cleanup off-site areas as well. In 1998, EPA excavated and disposed of 6,488 cubic yards of contaminated soils from nearby residential properties. During 2004, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection removed and disposed of 14,899 cubic yards of contaminated soil and sediment from the Birch Swamp Brook. Contaminated soils from wetlands just north of the site were also excavated and disposed of off-site.
In December 2007, remedial funding was authorized for the removal and disposal of product, feedstock and waste materials, and associated tanks, pipelines, drums and containers. In January 2008, these activities were expanded to include the demolition and off-site disposal of buildings and structures which remain at the site.
EPA will be collecting a round of groundwater samples from monitoring wells and piezometers in and around the site in December 2008. The operation of the surface run-off treatment system and the floating product collection system will continue on a regular basis. Site maintenance and security will be performed routinely.

text: Barcelona has the look of a city that should be known for its architecture… and, naturally, it is, from the Modernist L'Eixample neighborhood to the Roman remains and medieval lanes of Barri Gòtic. From monuments in Romanesque and Renaissance styles to Gothic spires and contemporary curves, there's little surprise Barcelona was the creative playground of acclaimed architect Antoni Gaudí. This city is a feast for the eyes and the palate, alike, and be sure not to miss spots like the La Rambla, Port Vell and especially Gaudí's Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Fun beach bars overlooking the Mediterranean, sleek Spanish designer stores, and Gaudí's surreal buildings make Barcelona, Spain a whimsical and unique port of call.

Darkwind: War on Wheels launches May 4th
updated 05:10 pm EDT, Thu April 26, 2007
Darkwind launches May 4th
The developers working on Darkwind: War on Wheels -- a free racing game that runs on Mac as well as Windows systems -- have set a launch date after several months of closed testing. The driving game features racetrack as well as arena-based racing, combat leagues, ladders, and newly added out-of-town travel. Multi-player squads can conduct wilderness battles with NPCs and other players between three towns which are already live. Developers plan to re-open the game on May 4th, and is offering reduced pricing on pre-release subscriptions. While the game remains free to play, many more advanced gameplay features are only available to subscribers (system requirements were unavailable).
"With travel times running to tens of hours, on-the-road piracy and a detailed dynamics based economic simulation, trade is a viable gameplay approach that we have put great effort into making possible," wrote one developer.
Resource locations, distances, and fluctuating piracy levels tied to actual player activity all contribute to the supply and demand calculations underpinning the game's economy.

And where he needed to be.
Marcus had already spent time at an alternative school, due to the fighting, and his return to his regular school painted him as a sort of bad boy.
Friends suddenly avoided him and viewed him with a wary eye.
"It was like I went to prison and when I came back, everybody was looking at me and I got labeled," said Marcus of that ninth-grade year. 'There's Marcus, I don't want to hang around with him. There's going to be some trouble.' "People looked at me different. I would go to class, people didn't want to work with me. Didn't want to talk with me. For a kid, 13-, 14-years old, dang.
"I went home crying to my mom and I told her, 'I'm ready to move.' She said, 'Me, too.'"
Marcus and Camellia had discussed moving before, with nothing coming of it. But she had sensed a disturbance in Marcus, recognizing the anger.
And his stint at the alternative school only hastened her action for a change.
"One day, I went to class, I get home and she's packing up," said Marcus. "I said, 'What's going on?' She said, 'We're moving.'"
It wasn't all that simple. The Smarts – Camellia, Marcus, his dad Billy Frank Smart and an uncle – would be leaving behind friends and family and church.
And, Camellia said, home is home, never easy to leave. She faced her own issues, too, with a health condition requiring kidney dialysis three times a week.
"I prayed about it. I talked with my pastor. I talked with my sisters and brothers," she said. "And they told me they didn't want me to go, but if that's what I had to do to make it better for Marcus, they would understand.
"And it was hard for me to make that move at first, because I was always around my family members. But they understood. And I knew what I had to do for my child."
Still, where would they go?
Camellia looked to Lewisville and Carrollton, seeking guidance from a family friend, Phil Forte Sr., whose son Phil had played AAU basketball with Marcus since grade school.
Phil attended Flower Mound's Marcus High in the same area and suggested the Smarts take a look there. Liking what they found, the Smarts found a three-bedroom, ranch-style house in Flower Mound, and headed across town.
To a new home. And a new life.
The change was drastic for the Smarts.
Gunshots no longer framed the night, only silence. Outside, there was no constant fear of danger. Almost immediately, Marcus said a peace enveloped the family.
Camellia had already put Marcus in an anger management class, following the incidents that led to his stint at the alternative school.
"That helped a lot," she said. "And the church, the pastor, going to the altar and praying. That helped out tremendously."
But the move addressed a lot of the angst, although there was a time in the beginning when Marcus felt out of place, going from a predominantly African-American school and neighborhood to a predominantly-white environment.
"I walked into my first class, and I know when you're the new kid, everybody's going to look," Marcus said, "but I was the only black kid in the class. I was saggin', they weren't used to that. I'm seeing kids dressed up in Polos.
"I'm like, 'Why are they looking at me?' I'm wearing a hoody, my pants are hangin' below my waist. And they're just looking at me, like, 'Who is this and why is he here?'"
Eventually, he fit in. Having a friend in Forte helped.
So did basketball, with Marcus and Forte forming a dual force that led Flower Mound Marcus to a 115-6 record over three seasons, capped by back-to-back state championships as juniors and seniors.
The two stars remained close, signing to play together at OSU, where they're roommates and still best friends. Phil's dad, Phil Sr., travels together with Camellia to most of the Cowboys games.
"Not that these kids up here don't get in trouble," said Forte Sr., "but Marcus was surrounded by a pretty good group. And everyone loved one another and everyone was trying to help one another.
"Not that they didn't love him where he used to live, but when you have people who love and believe in you, I think it goes a long way."
More than anything, however, the move released the stress on Marcus and his mom.
"I felt like it was a big boulder lifted off my shoulder," Marcus said. "I felt like I could breathe again. I had no worries. I could see it in my mom, her health was getting better because she wasn't stressed anymore. That was a big key factor for me, seeing that my mom was OK."
Marcus Smart has witnessed a lot in his 18 years.
Witnessed two lives worth, the way he sees it.
"Going back and looking back at both of my lives, when I was in Lancaster and when I moved to Flower Mound, those are totally different environments," Marcus said. "That was my past there, with that school and everything.
"I'm glad I made the move. It bettered my life and it took a lot of stress off of my mom. This was a better decision for my life."
Life is better all around now, too.
Marcus stands as one of the buzz stories of this college basketball season, regularly adored by TV announcers and praised for his intangibles by coaches like Florida's Billy Donovan and Gonzaga's Mark Few, who had him on the Team USA U18 team in Brazil.
And back in Flower Mound, the family is well, and that includes his brother Michael.
"He's doing great," Marcus said. "He works at UPS. He's doing good. He's sticking with it. He's not making excuses. He doesn't have any get-rich schemes.
"He's becoming a man. And I'm proud of him."
Personally, Marcus said he counts his blessings every day, taking nothing for granted, knowing where he's been over the span of two lives.
"Now I'm a D-1 college basketball player at Oklahoma State," he said. "I'm living the life that most kids would chop off their right arm for, a paid scholarship to go to college for free. Kids parents are out here struggling to get them to college, my mom doesn't pay anything.
"It's a blessing. I thank God every day. I'm doing something productive with my life."

Star News
Boyfriend of missing J'can in custody
Chief Prosecutor on the island of St Maarten Hans Mos has reportedly confirmed that the boyfriend of a Jamaican woman working on the island who has been missing since December 22 last year has been taken into custody. However, there has been no confirmation on whether the boyfriend, Valindo P. Wallace, has been charged.
Information reaching THE STAR is that police searched Wallace's home on Friday and several items were seized. Police, however, remain tightlipped about what those items were. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to reach the chief prosecutor. A clerk at his office said he was either in a meeting or had just left the office for a meeting. However, one of Lynch's co-workers and her daughter Sanya Bennett confirmed that they had been informed of Wallace's detention.
Prior to yesterday, the police in St Maarten had conducted three island-wide searches looking for the missing woman who is from Negril in Westmoreland but who had been living in St. Maarten for the past three years. She had been working at Pineapple Pete's for just over a year, her daughter Sanya confirmed.
On the night of December 22, shortly after 10 p.m. co-workers said Lynch left work and was picked up by her boyfriend Wallace. Wallace, who is also Jamaican, told THE STAR that he did not pick Lynch up fro work but somewhere away from work. She had called him and told him where to find her, he said. He told THE STAR that he had taken her home and informed her to get some rest because she had work at noon the next day. He said he left her there and went to his own home and that was the last time he saw her.
Investigations into Lynch's disappearance since that time turned up nothing. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade (MFAFT) informed the STAR that they had been in touch with the St Maarten Police Corps through the Jamaican High Commissioner in Trinidad, Sharon Saunders. The high commissioner was informed recently that all leads the police had in the case had turned up nothing. The MFAFT said however, that even though the matter was in the hands of the St Maarten Police Corps, it would do everything in its power to assist the investigations from this end.

As far as we know, Willem van Aelst never painted a landscape, portrait or history scene. He focused on still life, meticulous pictures of flowers, fish, armor and dead game, often arrayed on a table or marble slab, with drapery or cloth slightly pulled or rumpled in such a way as to add a studied theatricality to the image. He favored mice, from time to time, and insects, and sumptuous pocket watches often make an appearance, invoking ideas of time, timelessness and things that are time-intensive, such as painting still life.
Van Aelst is the subject of a 28-painting exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, most of it neatly contained in the low-ceilinged, intimate spaces of the West Building's Dutch cabinet galleries. Born in Delft in 1627, van Aelst is hardly the household name of his near contemporary, Vermeer, also from Delft. Nor are his subjects as immediately evocative as the moody rooms, soft fabrics and enigmatic domestic dramas favored by Vermeer. Van Aelst is about something very different — a highly polished and precise world of densely loaded juxtapositions and objects that taunt the viewer with the possibility of wider meanings and allegories. Van Aelst does to material things what some mischievous hosts will do to people: Invite the high and low, the narcissists and the inverts, put them in a small space and then see whether sparks fly.

It was a tough day at the office for Gordon. The Rams (1-2) were shutout last Saturday by St. Laurence(2-1) 14-0 and limited to only 117 yards of total offense at Luther North.
"They are a tough bunch of hard-nosed kids," said Gordon head coach Bill Jeske about his division rivals from the South side. "They are tough kids. They did a great job in pursuit (on defense). They worried about our quarterback and did a good job."
"Their offense has been very potent," admitted St. Laurence head coach Jim Grannan. "We put in some key kids both ways(on offense and defense) and the kids really executed. They did what they are supposed to do. The quarterback is a very good player."
Steve Fiorella scored twice for St Laurence rushing for 105 yards on 36 carries. The Vikings did a good job of controlling the clock running 51 plays while Gordon committed three turnovers.
"I think he is a stud," said Jeske who was impressed with the performance of Fiorella. "He was tremendous last year. He is their everything(on offense). He takes to that role."
The Vikings missed two field goals in the first half while limiting Gordon to only 43 yards on offense.
St. Laurence began the second half with a 43-yard drive capped on a two-yard run by Fiorella.
The Rams responded with a 75-yard drive which ended when quarterback Julian Russell fumbled athe five-yard line.
The biggest play of this game may have been a 54-yard punt by Sean Brady with 2:26 left.
Gordon took over on its own four-yard line, and three plays later Brady intercepted a pass to seal the win.
Fiorella scored on a one yard run with 14 seconds left after the interception by Brady.
One area of concern for Gordon on this day was the passing game. Russell completed only 1-of-6 passes for 11 yards. By comparison, St Laurence Tony Craven connected on four passes for 55 yards in nine attempts.
"Everybody wants to be more effective passing (the football)," admitted Jeske after the loss. "It takes so much time to get the run going and you neglect the other parts of the offense. Everybody we talked to said you would be in trouble if you fell behind. It showed today."
Gordon will try tp regroup next week against Hales.
The Headline originally said Gordon shut out St Laurence .

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 30, 2010 - John Bailey, ASC will judge the regional entries of the 2010 KODAK Film School Competition for the second consecutive year. The competition is designed to recognize innovative visual storytelling demonstrated by current film school students and recent graduates from the Asia Pacific region, Latin America, United States/Canada, and Europe.
"We introduced this competition 11 years ago with the goal of inspiring the next generation of filmmakers," says Johanna Gravelle, worldwide manager, Education Segment, for Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division. "It's an integral part of our commitment to tomorrow's filmmakers."
Kodak is currently accepting submissions at the national level. Finalists will be judged by Bailey, who will select one winner from each region. The prize includes a trip to the 2011 Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival in France, where the winners will have the opportunity to screen their films in the Kodak Short Film Showcase. They also participate in networking sessions and other activities that are part of the festival.
Bailey has compiled more than 70 cinematography credits for such memorable films as American Gigolo, Ordinary People, The Big Chill, Silverado, Mishima, The Accidental Tourist, Groundhog Day, In The Line of Fire, As Good As It Gets, Incident at Loch Ness, and Brief Interviews with Hideous Men.
Bailey takes an active interest in fostering the arts and in educating the next generation, and often serves on film festival juries and leads lighting workshops at film schools. He has authored a number of influential articles about technology and the impact of motion pictures on contemporary culture, and blogs on various topics for the American Society of Cinematographers (www.theasc.com/blog).
"It will mean a lot to the emerging filmmakers entering this competition to know that their cinematography is being reviewed by John Bailey," Gravelle says. "We are honored he has agreed again to lend his expertise, and assess the work of promising artists who demonstrate an ability to create images that tell stories that touch the soul."
National finalists will be selected by August 30, and regional winners will be announced by November 1. For more information, visit www.kodak.com/go/filmschoolcompetition.

* Click here for rating key
Hilton Dallas Lincoln Centre Hotel Review: No matter where you want to go or what you want to do, this property is most likely within twenty minutes of it. Situated at the corner of the bustling LBJ Freeway and the Dallas North Tollway, it's just across the freeway from world-class shopping at Galleria Dallas and convenient to both airports: Dallas Love Field (ten minutes) and DFW (twenty minutes). The striking, curved-glass tower seems to rise right out of a four-acre lake (with an adjoining walking trail for getting back to nature mid-city). With 48,000 square feet of meeting space, this property hosts many mid-size conventions and events in style. Upstairs in the guest rooms, amenities range from 40-inch TVs and contemporary furnishings to Hilton Serenity Packages comprised of pillow-top mattresses, cozy duvets and luxurious sheets. Closet space is surprisingly generous. Executive level rooms have access to a lounge for complimentary breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres. For dining, the above-average Crockett's serves contemporary American cuisine with southwestern flair. When the weather's right, which it is most of the year, guests enjoy the outdoor pool and sun deck. For working out, there is a Precor fitness center on-site.

When it comes to the environment, I love love love animals. Especially snakes, owls, bats, lizards, frogs and turtles. I work at a local park where I handle snakes and turtles and I absolutely love it. I have a lot of people that tell me that I'm nuts to like snakes. I have even been told that snakes deserve to be dead rather than alive. That comment completely floored me because snakes aren't here to hurt us, they're here to help us. And I wish more people realized how cool snakes are. Alright that's my spiel for now.
Peace and love till later....

Narrow minds often lead to complacent behavior. It takes a true creative person to constantly change thoughts and ideas to elevate their own level of perfection. How many times in your own life have you found yourself stagnant, not realizing in most cases that your way of thinking was actually the biggest obstacle? For 26-year old Ralph Villegas of Pueblo, Colorado, the journey of building a Lowrider has been an ever-changing trip, fraught with redirections and adjustments. Initially, Ralph sought out a car that could double as his daily driver; a ride that he could depend on to handle his work commute. As is the case with many Lowriders, that plan took a different turn when Ralph got wind that a friend of his was putting his '83 Oldsmobile Cutlass on the market. Although the G-body had no motor or transmission, the frame and body was in perfect shape, and Ralph's vision of the daily driver suddenly changed. At this point, the ideas started to flow and the saga of "Changing Mindz" began.
Thanks to an already established relationship with some riders in the Rollerz Only Car Club, one of the most respected and competitive clubs in the world, Ralph realized the true potential of the Cutlass. Although the original plan after the purchase was to leave the paint and body in stock form, Ralph's mind once again changed and he enlisted Vanderslice in Albuquerque, New Mexico to overhaul the exterior of the Oldsmobile. A House of Kolor Magenta was laid down along with some wicked graphics, including the newer Oldsmobile logos to give the Cutty a more modern and unique identity. Not to be overlooked, Ralph also had the undercarriage smoothed down and painted to match.
While the exterior had been given the royal treatment, the road worthiness of the Cutlass left much to be desired, especially if this car was to become the daily driver that Ralph was seeking. A Chevy 350 was added to the Cutlass with the help of Ralph's father, Ralph Sr., who wanted to help make his son's Lowriding dreams come true. Of course the weather and terrain in Colorado can sometimes be a bit too treacherous for a scraper to handle, so careful attention needed to be paid to the Cutty's suspension, otherwise it would be on a fast track to nowhere. In order to assist the car in handling the mountainous areas of Colorado roads, the Cutlass was brought to Champions Hydraulics in Pueblo, Colorado, where Jerry and Jim added a custom CCE two-pump, four-dump hydraulic setup using hard-lines that were plated by Denver Bumper. Ralph enlisted Angel's Upholstery in Alamosa, Colorado to add a custom peanut butter suede and vinyl interior that flows all the way into the trunk.

My friend (and coworker) is building a house and invited the little one and I over to see the progress. Her parents live on a big farm with beautiful gardens, apple trees, four pigs, two horses, and chickens just down the road. So we spent some time at the farm exploring. I was sent home with a stalk of brussel sprouts, kale, and beets. Not to mention our weekly trade of duck eggs for garlic and potatoes. I think I'll have a happy belly all winter long!
The little one especially loved discovering the toys inside that were tucked away in a corner. I've noticed a huge difference in her play since she started preschool in September. She is more engaged and happily plays away for long stretches of time. I've also noticed that the less toys there are, the more she plays. I'm thinking about going through a lot of ours and dwindling them down to a few. Most just sit in the baskets or on the shelves unused. Blocks, her new ukulele, her wooden farm family, and her cars are the most played with. Everything else just seems to go unnoticed! Has anyone else found that having less toys encourages more play?
And we have been regularly putting on performances for anyone who will listen of this song. This is the very song I sang the other month with the guitarist at a local barn gig. The little one insists I play the ukulele while she bangs away on her mini piano. So far she's received some very enthusiastic clapping for her talents. Maybe she'll join me on stage next time!

2012 Voter Fraud
List cites instances proving voter fraud in the 2012 U.S. presidential election.
[Collected via e-mail, January 2013]
Most everyone suspected fraud, but these numbers prove it and our government and media refuse to do anything about it.
As each state reported their final election details, the evidence of voter fraud is astounding. Massive voter fraud has been reported in areas of OH and FL, with PA, WI and VA, all are deploying personnel to investigate election results.
Here are just a few examples of what has surfaced with much more to come.
* In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
* In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations - and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
* In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
* In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
* The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in
St. Lucie
County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
* Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
* In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
NOTE: Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.
Claims of fraud have arisen after each of the last several U.S. presidential elections, especially since the 2000 election, the outcome of which hinged on a prolonged dispute over a victory margin of just
537 votes
in the state of Florida. As the example cited above demonstrates, the election of 2012 was no exception in that regard.
But whatever voter fraud (if any) might have occurred during the 2012 presidential election, none is evidenced by the example reproduced here. As shown below, all of the statements it comprises are demonstrably false:
In 59 voting districts in the Philadelphia region, Obama received 100% of the votes with not even a single vote recorded for Romney. (A mathematical and statistical impossibility).
It is true that 59 voting divisions in Philadelphia recorded no votes for Mitt Romney, but given the voter composition of the Philadelphia area (and some Philadelphia wards in particular) and the number of voters in each division, that outcome was hardly a "mathematical and statistical impossibility."
Barack Obama won the overall vote in the
area by an 85% to 14% margin over Mitt Romney; Obama also received greater than 90% of the vote in more than half of Philadelphia's
66 wards,
and 99% or more of the vote in seven of those wards. That result was hardly surprising given that, as the Philadelphia
noted, those wards are "clustered in almost exclusively black sections of West and North Philadelphia" and "nationally,
93 percent
of African Americans voted for Obama." The Philadelphia wards that trended very heavily for Barack Obama included many divisions of between 200 and
500 voters
in which Mitt Romney received a scant handful of votes (and sometimes no votes at all), a result mirroring that of the previous election, in which Republican candidate John McCain "got zero votes in
57 Philadelphia
voting divisions."
When the
for Republican voters in some of those divisions, they couldn't find any:
Many parts of Philadelphia and other big cities simply lack Republican voters, a fact of campaigning that has been true since
Franklin D.
Roosevelt's New Deal, Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University, said.
Although voter registration lists, which often contain outdated information, show
12 Republicans
live in the
[28th] ward's
third division, The Inquirer was unable to find any of them by calling or visiting their homes.
Four of the registered Republicans no longer lived there; four others didn't answer their doors. City Board of Elections registration data say a registered Republican used to live at 25th and York Streets, but none of the neighbors across the street knew him.
James Norris, 19, who lives down the street, is listed as a Republican in city data. But he said he's a Democrat and voted for Obama because he thinks the president will help the middle class.
A few blocks away, Eric Sapp, a 42-year-old chef, looked skeptical when told that city data had him listed as a registered Republican. "I got to check on that," said Sapp, who voted for Obama.
Eighteen Republicans reportedly live in the nearby
15th Division,
according to city registration records. The 15th has the distinction of pitching two straight Republican shutouts — zero votes for McCain in 2008, zero for Romney. Oh, and
13 other
city divisions did the same thing in 2008 and 2012.
Three of the 15th's registered Republicans were listed as living in the same apartment, but the tenant there said he had never heard of them. The addresses of several others could not be found.
On West Albert Street, Duke Dunston says he knows he's a registered Republican, but he's never voted for one.
Thus the results in Philadelphia were reflective not of an "impossible" statistical anomaly but rather of a general historical trend widely seen throughout the city.
In 21 districts in Wood County Ohio, Obama received 100% of the votes where GOP inspectors were illegally removed from their polling locations — and not one single vote was recorded for Romney. (Another statistical impossibility).
breakdown of the official voting results from Wood County, Ohio, for the 2012 election shows that Barack Obama received nowhere close to 100% of the votes cast in any of that county's
97 precincts.
The highest percentage he achieved in any one precinct was 75.5%.
In Wood County Ohio, 106,258 voted in a county with only 98,213 eligible voters.
The official
Voter Turnout
statistics for Ohio show Wood County recorded a total turnout of 64,342 voters, an amount far smaller than the number of registered voters in that county (108,014).
In St. Lucie County, FL, there were 175,574 registered eligible voters but 247,713 votes were cast.
This statement demonstrates a misunderstanding between the difference in "number of votes" cast and "number of cards" cast. The official
election results
St. Lucie
County, Florida, show, a total of 123,301 votes were cast for the office of President of the United States, but a total of 247,383
were cast because
St. Lucie
County used a
ballot (i.e., a ballot consisting of two cards), so every voter who returned both pages of his ballot cast two cards.
As the
web site
of that county's elections board explains: "Turnout percentages will show over 100% due to a two page ballot. The tabulation system (GEMS) provides voter turnout as equal to the total cards cast in the election divided by the number of registered voters. Also note that some voters chose not to return by mail the second card."
The National SEAL Museum, a polling location in
St. Lucie
County, FL had a 158% voter turnout.
This entry repeats the same error as the previous one. The National SEAL Museum polling location in
St. Lucie
County had a turnout of 2756 registered voters, but a total of 4469 cards were cast because each voter's ballot consisted of two cards. The official vote count from that location for the office of President of the United States recorded 1,473 votes for Mitt Romney and
754 votes
for Barack Obama.
Palm Beach County, FL had a 141% voter turnout.
The official results for the 2012 general election for
Palm Beach County
, Florida, show that 605,268 out of 870,182 registered voters cast ballots for the office of President of the United States, a voter turnout rate of 69.56%, not 141%.
In Ohio County, Obama won by 108% of the total number of eligible voters.
This statement is ambiguous because multiple states (Kentucky, Indiana, and West Virginia) have counties named Ohio. Nonetheless, this statement is false regardless of which of those counties is considered:
Mitt Romney won Ohio County,
, by a 67% to 31% margin.
Mitt Romney won Ohio County,
, by a 63% to 35% margin.
Mitt Romney won Ohio County,
West Virginia
, by a 60% to 38% margin.
Obama won in every state that did not require a Photo ID and lost in every state that did require a Photo ID in order to vote.
In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama did lose in every state that required all voters to provide photo ID, but those states were only four in number: Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, and Tennessee. Meanwhile, contrary to what is claimed here, he also lost in many states that did
require all voters to provide photo ID: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
(NOTE: If you do not live in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, or Tennessee, then your state did not require all voters to provide photo ID during the 2012 general election. As shown on a chart of
Voter Identification Requirements
by state, only those four states had strict photo ID laws in place during the 2012 general election. All other states either did not require voters to provide ID or accepted some forms of non-photo ID.)

Phoenix TV station working to get wedding videos to couples, including some in Florida, after business closes
If you hired a videographer or photographer from Urbane Wedding Company, Urbane Media Group, AZ Weddings Guys, CA Wedding Guys or any other business associated with Chad Koerber to shoot your wedding video, and haven't received it, let the station know by submitting your information via an online form.
PHOENIX — You want to remember every moment of your wedding day.
That's why hundreds of brides throughout the country, including some in Florida, hired a Phoenix-based business to make sure those memories were captured on video.
But, months after their weddings, many of those videos are nowhere to be found. And many of those brides, like Stefanie Kostewa of Ahwatukee, Ariz., are desperately searching for the business responsible — Urbane Wedding Company.
If you think you or someone you know might be one of those affected couples, let the station know by submitting your information by filling out an online form.
"It's a phenomenally special day to me," Kostewa said about her wedding day. "You know, I only do this once."
That's why she made sure she hired a photographer and a videographer from Urbane Wedding to capture every moment of her March wedding day on film.
Soon after her wedding, Kostewa said she received her pictures. Five months later, however, the business hired to take her video — and the wedding video itself — was nowhere to be found.
Kostewa cried as she told ABC15 how devastating it was to think she would never be able to watch her big day again.
"It's very upsetting," she said. "I can't remember a lot of stuff, because I knew I could go back to the video."
ABC15's investigation found Urbane Wedding's website and phone are down. The office is abandoned. The landlord says they left suddenly without paying rent.
There's just a note on the door directed to the owner of Urbane Wedding Group, Chad Koerber. "Notice: Premises security has been breached. Chad Koerber, DBA Urbane Media Group," and asks for him to call the management company. It's dated June 29.
Koerber served in the Air Force, but the brides we've talked to say what he did to them was anything but honorable.
The company also did business as Urbane Media Group, AZ Weddings Guys and CA Wedding Guys, among other business names.
Earlier this month, ABC15 aired a story about all of the complaints against Urbane involving hundreds of brides across the country.
At that time, the E.W. Scripps-owned station made an on-air plea to Koerber or anyone connected to Urbane Wedding: "Just bring any raw video you have here, to ABC15, drop it off at the front, no questions asked."
Scripps is also the parent company of Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers.
Koerber did not show up. But two former freelance editors did.
One said he took over ownership of the business when Koerber left, but asked that we didn't use his name. And both say they were told to do what they want with the video.
They dropped off three full hard drives and a pile of DVDs. They include a massive amount of files full of hundreds of hours of family and friends, couples exchanging vows and dancing and celebrating after the ceremony.
The station tallied at least 170 weddings. They are memories that need to be in the bride's and groom's hands.
But, it's not an easy task. The videos are organized by last name only, some with dates of the wedding and a few with locations.
That means no full names, no phone numbers, no email addresses, and no location, in most cases.
Some of the DVDs have states written on them like Michigan, Florida and California. And a lot of the video came from Phoenix-area weddings.
One of the DVDs had the last name "Hadland" written on it. It turns out, that's actually a maiden name. The bride's married name is Kostewa – Stefanie Kostewa.
We found Kostewa's video and surprised her and husband, Rick, at their home.
It was an incredible moment.
As Stefanie Kostewa realized she was watching her own wedding, she put her hands to her mouth and began crying. This time, they were tears of joy.
ABC15 doesn't have everyone's video, but it does want to get the videos it has in the right hands.
They need your help.
If you hired a videographer or photographer from Urbane Wedding Company, Urbane Media Group, AZ Weddings Guys, CA Wedding Guys or any other business associated with Chad Koerber to shoot your wedding video, and haven't received it, let the station know by submitting your information by filling out an online form.
