- How to Read a Study Record
Providing hemodialysis requires the use of an extracorporeal circuit which must be anticoagulated. Inadequate anticoagulation can result in the dialyzer clotting with decreased circuit blood flows, inefficient dialysis and even significant blood loss secondary to circuit clotting.Heparin has been traditional agent used to provide anticoagulation. Heparin has multiple adverse side effects that would be best avoided in acutely ill patients who are at risk for bleeding. Alternative means of providing anticoagulation include citrate based anticoagulation. Citrasate® is a heparin free anticoagulant alternative that has been FDA approved since 1999 and readily available for commercial use since 2001. Citrasate® utilizes citric acid instead of acetic acid for acidification; the presence of small amounts of citrate in the dialysate also provides the means for anticoagulation. The concentration of citrate is low (2.4meq/L) and thus has a minimal effect on serum calcium values. No calcium monitoring or infusion is indicated.
The purpose of this study is to obtain further data on the use of Citrasate® in admitted pediatric patients who receive hemodialysis as part of their therapy for acute kidney injury.
Complication of Dialysis
Procedure: Use of citrate based dialysate
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Prospective Study of Citrate Based Dialysate in Pediatric Patients Receiving Intermittent Hemodialysis
- Dialyzer Clotting Rate [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed until inpatient hemodialysis sessions with Citrasate® are discontinued ]Dialyzer clotting rate will be assessed as the percent of hemodialysis treatments that developed a clot in the dialyzer from the time that the patient is enrolled in the study until the time hemodialysis treatments with Citrasate® are discontinued.
- Saline Flush Rate [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed until inpatient hemodialysis sessions with Citrasate® are discontinued ]Saline flush rate will be assesed as the percentage of hemodialysis treatments that require one or more saline flushes to maintain circuit patency from the time that the patient is enrolled in the study until the time hemodialysis treatments with Citrasate® are discontinued based on clinical indications, upto a maximum period of 6 months
- Heparin Use Rate [ Time Frame: Patients will be followed until inpatient hemodialysis sessions with Citrasate® are discontinued ]The heparin use rate will be assessed as the percentage of hemodialysis treatments that required additional use of heparin to maintain circuit patency. This will be assessed from the time that the patient is enrolled in the study until the time hemodialysis treatments with Citrasate® are discontinued based on clinical indications, upto a maximum period of 6 months
|Study Start Date:
|May 2012
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2015
|Primary Completion Date:
|January 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Procedure: Use of citrate based dialysate
All patients requiring inpatient hemodialysis will be screened for participation in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria as noted above. Informed consent for hemodialysis and for study participation will be obtained by the attending nephrologist prior to the start of the dialysis session. Patient specific hemodialysis orders will be placed by attending nephrology physician for each patient using a standardized hemodialysis order form. Citrasate® in standard concentration, with a standard blood flow of 600 -800 ml/min will be prescribed for all study patients, calcium and potassium contents of the dialysate will be determined by the attending pediatric nephrologist.
Monitoring: All patients will have routine monitoring as indicated for clinical care during each dialysis session.
Data Collection:Each treatment will be documented on a standardized hemodialysis run sheet. Data collection will be performed by any one of the researchers using a data collection sheet to ensure uniformity of data collection methods. Data to be collected includes patient demographics, admitting diagnosis, underlying renal disease, the presence of acute kidney injury versus chronic kidney disease, contraindications to heparin use and the presence of any bleeding diathesis. Dialysis specific data to be collected will include the site and type of dialysis access, dialysis prescription parameters and treatment duration. Lab data to be collected will include pre, post and intradialytic ionized calcium values, ACT values and pH and bicarbonate values. Data on the number of saline boluses required to maintain circuit patency, percent of prescribed blood flow achieved as well as any use of heparin will be collected.
Data Analysis will include
- T-test for comparison of changes in ionized calcium values, blood pH and bicarbonate values
- Percentage of patients with inadequate coagulation on citrate (ie. patients with grade III-IV streaking or required changing to heparin based dialysate)
- Percent of patients with any adverse events not accounted for during an routine dialysis session
- Cost analysis for the difference in costs using Citrasate® compared to a standard heparin based dialysis treatment
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|up to 21 Years (Child, Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- All pediatric patients between the ages of 0-21 years in the inpatient setting requiring hemodialysis for renal replacement therapy. These will include both patients with chronic renal failure and acute kidney injury, or any patient requiring dialysis as determined by an attending nephrologist.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Symptomatic hypocalcemia that is refractory to treatment 24 hours prior to the start of each dialysis session
- Known liver disorder/acute liver failure with an inability to metabolize citrate.

"You're beautiful." He whispered so quietly it was almost silent. His eyes gleamed in the light and a warm smile spread across his face. I could feel his chest rising and falling evenly under my hand. His green eyes staring intently into mine looked tired, but there was something else in them that I couldn't quite place. Something I had never seen before.
"You're exhausted. You should get some sleep." His head shook softly and he tucked the hair back behind my ear.
"Not unless you're next to me safe and sound." I stumbled over my words as he said that. The butterflies were back in my stomach.
"I-I think I could make that work.." I giggled softly. I started walking to my room expecting him to follow. When he didn't I stopped and turned to look at him, confused. He only smiled and held out his hand. My knees grew weak and I grabbed his hand. He laced his fingers with mine as I led him to my room.
We layed in my bed facing each other with a few inches in between us. I couldn't help but smile whenever I heard his voice. Soon he fell asleep after we were quiet for a few moments. His breathing got heavier and louder. He looked so peaceful when he slept. He made me feel so tiny his large shoulders blocked the sunlight that was now shining through my window.
I got up carefully trying not to disturb him and crept to the kitchen. I silently cursed myself because I didn't know what he liked to eat. I grabbed several things out of my cupboards and spread them across the counter top. I had eggs, bacon, pancakes, french toast, waffles, the works. I had no clue what he liked to eat so I made everything I knew how to make.
The bacon popped in the frying pan as I felt warm hands snake around my waist. I froze not sure how to react to Liam's body against mine and he quickly let go.
"I'm sorry.." He backed away from me. "I.. I didn't mean to startle you.. I went too far didn't I.." I could hear the disappointment in his voice and I turned to face him.
"No you didn't." I shook my head. Honestly I just wasn't expecting him to be up yet. "I just.. Dylan.. He never did that before.." He looked at me in astonishment.
"Really? He never put his hands around your waist? He never hugged you from behind?" He stuttered over his words like he couldn't get them out fast enough. I shook my head and looked down at my feet. The bacon popped behind me breaking the silence and I turned back to the food I was making.
"I didn't know what you liked to eat... So I just made everything I could. French toast, eggs bacon.." I trailed off and focused on the food. I felt his warm hand on my shoulder and I relaxed. His hand left and I heard the cupboards opening and closing.
"Top shelf, third door to the right of the fridge." I said directing him to the plates he was searching for. He set two on the counter for us and got out cups.
"Do you want coffee?" He spoke softly and I nodded hoping he saw me. I had already made a pot and he poured himself in a mug. "Cream? Sugar?" He questioned. He seemed so distant now. I took the bacon off the stove and faced him.
"Both please." I mumbled feeling ashamed of myself. I played with my hands and chewed the inside of my cheek. "I'll be right back..." I choked out and walked to the bathroom. He took a step towards me as I walked away but I shook my head and he stopped.
I locked the door behind me and I hyperventilated pacing the small length of my bathroom. The tears flooded my eyes and I looked at myself in the mirror. What I saw was not what I wanted to. My cheeks looked too fat and I swear I could see a double chin. I lifted up my shirt pulling at my skin.
"I'm so fat. Fat. Fat. Fat. FAT!" I scolded myself. Every inch of me itched. The dark scars burned and I clenched my fists. I pulled down my sweats to my knees and grabbed the razor from the bathroom drawer.
"Just little ones. So he won't notice. You can't let him notice. Just tiny ones." I reassured myself and drug the sharp blade across my thighs multiple times. Little dots of blood scattered my skin and I sighed in relief. I put the blade back in the back of the drawer and wiped the blood off my legs. I heard a light knock on the door and I started to panic.
"Amanda..? You okay?" Sincerity filled his voice.
"Y-yeah. I'm okay. I'll be out in a little. Give me a second." I spoke in a hurried voice. I wrapped bandages around my thighs and pulled up my sweats. Washing my hands free of any blood that may be on them I unlocked the door and walked back to Liam in the kitchen. He had made both of our plates and set them on the small table. He looked up at me from one of the mismatched chairs his eyes full of worry. He got up and went over to me.
"Are you okay?" He wiped the extra tears from my cheeks that I had forgot were there and held my face in his hands. I nodded in response and smiled lightly.
"I'm okay.." I struggled to think of a good excuse. "Just.. Um. Girl problems." I nodded pleased with my lie and I could see him relax believing what I said was true.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Decorate your tables beautifully this Thanksgiving season. Fruits, berries and leaves are all you need this season for an amazing looking table accent. Colleen Mullaney, author of "It's 5 o'clock Somewhere and Faux Fabulous Florals" shows us how to make these accents.
- 1 stem yellow oak leaves
- 3 stems autumnal berries
- Floral wire
- Decorative tumbler
- Quick Water solution
- Cut berry clusters and gather into a tight bunch.
- Border berries with a collar of oak leaves, wrapping leaves around the bunch with the right sides facing outward. Adjust the leaves so that they are symmetrical and even. Wrap tightly and secure with floral wire.
- Pour Quick Water solution in separate container and mix well. Pour into tumbler slowly and fill two-thirds full.
- Place in a cool dry place to set, following manufacturer's instructions. Carefully place tussie-mussie in glass so it stands straight up.
At your place
Waste not, want not. Use your leftover blooms, berries, ribbons, vines and other materials and fashion them into napkin rings. This is a great use of blooms that have broken from their wires or stems or of small clusters of berries that were extras. Follow your theme from centerpiece to napkin rings, adding a finishing touch to your affair.
Falling leaves: Using a gold glitter pen, write your guests' names on mania tags. Attach a small cluster of leaves together with string. Thread string, with its cluster of leaves, through hole in tag and tie around napkin.
Olives: Glue small sprig of olives and leaves to grapevine ring, with the stems facing in one direction. Trim off excess stems and glue to grapevine ring. Place second sprig with stems facing opposite direction, clip stems and glue to secure. With brown grosgrain ribbon, tie center in a decorative knot to hide stems
Berry cluster: Form a small cluster of berries and tie together with floral wire. Tie cluster to grapevine ring with decorative piece of raffia string.
Spider mum: Cut flower from wire stem just below head. Glue onto small grapevine ring.
Adding a few fall or autumnal accents to your table is easy and inexpensive, with smashing results. Florals, accents and other pieces can be found at Michaels and HomeGoods stores. Photos are available of these products.

Photographer Invades Privacy For Her Art
Thursday, October 14, 2010
Michele Iversen steals strangers' private moments. She sits in wait, on streets and cul de sacs, for a moment to emerge within a window frame and then she photographs it, without the permission or knowledge of her subjects.
The resulting images, currently on view in a show called "Unearned Intimacies" at San Diego Mesa College of Art, are large-scale, measuring 40"x48."
Iversen, who teaches photography at Cal State Fullerton and Grossmont Colleges, agreed to an interview via email.
Where did the idea for "Night Surveillance Series" come from?
This project began as an artist book titled "Quick and Dirty." The original images were black and white 4x6 inch prints on acetate. The book was an accordion design with the front and back window cut so you could actually see the photographs throughout the book and the window images. Raymond Chandler inspired the book and this work. In my book, I used some of his rich, sharp, and lyrical metaphors.
His protagonist, Philip Marlowe, along with Chandler's storytelling, captivated me. Chandler made images appear in my mind and words move. His writings made me think about the behavior of a private eye and the daily or nightly ritual of an investigator.
What is it like to secretly observe and peer into private lives? I was curious to know if I could I do this and would I be good at it.
So, inspired by Phillip Marlow, private eye, I began constructing camera images by watching strangers in their homes at night.
"Quick and Dirty," the book, went by the wayside, remained unresolved and unpublished. One window closed and another one opened.
Walk us through your process of shooting. You decide you're going out to shoot one night, what next?
I use my Nikon, a 35 mm SLR with (usually) a 180 mm f/2.8 lens (or longer). I put the camera on a tripod and I strap my tripod into the passenger seat of my 4x 4 with the seatbelt and a bungee cord or two. I attach a shutter release then cautiously and randomly begin my night surveillance.
I am looking for many types of indicators as to whether a location will make the cut. I have to see signs of activity in a window with a good view. Additionally, I watch for lighting considerations, indoor and out. The window frame is very important. The proximity of the window to the street is a big factor.
I always stay on public property. I find the right house and situation and I quietly lie or sit waiting for the precise moment to hit the shutter. I feel like I am waiting for strangers to enter into my frame or trap.
You've said you are, in part, motivated by fear in capturing these images. You've also said "I feel stimulation from the violation imposed upon the unknowingly compliant subjects. An intense aesthetic/erotic friction occurs." Can you say more about this?
The process is exhilarating, frightening and makes me anxious and excited. I feel like people are watching me watch them. I am afraid to watch because we are socially conditioned to give people their privacy and not stare at them, sneak around or spy. I feel I am in violation of our social norms. It feels like I am naughty or rebellious.
When I get a good image and no one has spotted or chased me, it reinforces my focus and motivates me to go shoot another one.
These images are definitely motivated by fear. I am afraid to be seen, afraid to watch - and, at the very same moment, I determine when to suspend a strangers' privacy.
Do you ever feel guilty?
No. More like mischievous.
Do you intend the viewers of your work to have that same stimulation?
Not the same, but when the viewer realizes he/ she is watching someone (who thinks no one is watching) lick a plate or popping pimples or using the "john," you've got some incentive to continue to engage with the next one.
Have you ever faced legal action from this body of work?
Not yet, but I have had some close calls and had to pull work from an exhibition in order to avoid difficulties. It is bound to happen and I think I will be ready when it does. What do they - say there is no bad press, or bad press is good press?
Why are all of your images Untitled?
They are not completely untitled. The location gives them a distinctive heading. I wrestle with titles. I am quite good with them but I don't want to influence the viewer.
Untitled No. 66 shows a woman with what looks like a plate covering a portion of her face. Why did you choose to include this image? Why is it powerful to you?
Well, she is licking the plate. Methodically she licked the plate for about one minute - it could have been longer! It was so uncomfortable to watch. She thought she was alone but I was there!
At that very moment, I determine when to suspend a strangers' privacy. Also, this week when I saw this image go out on the press release, it was unsettling. The moment I saw it, I felt a twinge of edginess run through me. It stays with me in my soul. That, to me, is pretty powerful.
When considering the body of work as a whole, what are you saying about the nature of privacy in contemporary society?
We have very little privacy and it is of our own choosing. I take these photographs because people have exposed themselves to me. I observe and hit the shutter. And please realize I began the "Night Surveillance Series" many years before it was common to see cameras in phones, malls, shopping centers, streets and public places. Are we exhibitionist or voyeurs? I am compelled to make these images and to expose the voyeuristic or exhibitionist tendencies inherent in human culture. Which are you?
By nature I am not a looky-loo type. I have always had absolute respect for boundaries and privacy. At the same time, I am curious. I pay great attention to detail. These images took on a life of their own. I could not predict or arrange an outcome. I only know that each image is challenging to me on many levels.
"Unearned Intimacies," which also features the work of David Fobes and K.V. Tomney, will be on view at San Diego Mesa College through November 9th.

I have known Michele Iversen for many years, and attended her opening and lecture tonight at Mesa College.
Her current work is derived from a long and painstaking process of observation, and is more about documenting her observations then it is about voyeurism. The works are compelling and riveting, and offer a raw and unvarnished examination of issues of privacy, public space, and how we as individuals choose to define personal space.
Great work Michele - I really enjoyed your talk also.

Publicartist: I'm curious to know what the reaction was to the work last night. Did you get a sense if people found the photographs unsettling, compelling? Did they spark any controversy? I was unable to be there so please be our eyes and ears...
svernale | October 23, 2010 at 10:43 a.m. ― 6 years, 4 months ago
How fantantastic is this! It is rare that you can acually know and feel the experience of an artist of photography when just viewing their photos. I love this work in that it can give us also the experience "during the shoot". So many photos will only portray what is "out there" and not "inside" the mind and life of an artist. I can't wait to visit this show.
JtheO | October 10, 2011 at 9:01 p.m. ― 5 years, 4 months ago
You can read my comments about Iverson's work on Studio360.org (same username: JtheO), but if you'd rather not, and that's understandable since there's such a sea of negativity there, I take Iverson as just what she is: an artist.
Queen Elizabeth famously cautioned people to "beware of artists," for they talked with all classes of people about ideas and are "dangerous." Artists today do, and say, and make things that cause viewers to re-think everything. The over 100 comments over at Studio 360, most of them vilifying Iverson for violating will survive into the digital future as evidence of the depleted nature of American society. One of the neutral comments on Studio 360 cited a Japanese photographer who told the subjects to "stand in your doorway or your window and I will be by at night at 10 PM and photograph you....if you wish not, just close your door or shade." While Iverson didn't take that measure, I still think she is genius........
I'd rather have dinner with Iverson, than the hoard of whiners over at Studio 360 who strut their sense of entitlement and self righteous indignation over some imagined breach of law and privacy.
Art saves. Law rarely does. Entitlement never does.

One of Gimhae Arport's X-ray machines detected several "unusual objects" in a Japanese tourist's bag, which turned out to be six leather bags packed with a kilogram of methamphetamine each, destined for Busan's burgeoning tweaker trade.
Some men and women from China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), the Philippines, Mongolia, Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Pakistan, Russia, Timor-Leste, and Uzbekistan are subjected to forced labor in South Korea; some women from these countries are subjected to forced prostitution.
The Republic of Korea (ROK or South Korea) is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor. South Korean women are subjected to forced prostitution in Korea and abroad, including in the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Dubai, Taiwan, and Macau.
Some women enter destination countries on tourist, work, or student visas, and are subsequently forced into prostitution in massage parlors, room salons, bars, restaurants, or through internet-advertised escort services.
Many victims are coerced into prostitution by loan sharks, to whom the victims owe debts, and entertainment establishment owners, who work with loan sharks. Traffickers threaten victims with deportation, harm to family members, or seizure of passports
South Korean children are increasingly vulnerable to commercial sexual exploitation through online recruitment. Some 200,000 South Korean girls run away from home annually; in need of money for living expenses and shelter, some are subjected to prostitution. Family members or Korean criminal networks recruit children from Southeast Asian countries with false promises of employment and subsequently force them into prostitution in South Korea.
South Korean men engage in child sex tourism in Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines. Some Korean fishing crew members engage in commercial sex with children in Kiribati.
NGOs and media alleged officials from the Korean Media Rating Board (KMRB), part of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, granted women E-6 entertainment visas, knowing the women were at risk of being sexually exploited, forced into prostitution, and held under debt bondage
More than 2,500 foreign women face debt bondage in "juicy bars" near U.S. military bases. Some women from Mongolia, Laos, and Nepal are recruited for marriage to South Korean men through international marriage brokers and are subjected to forced prostitution or forced labor subsequent to their arrival.
An NGO reported that the national government maintains a list of massage parlors that subject blind masseuses to forced prostitution, and allegedly enjoy official sanction or protection. Another NGO reported the municipal, provincial, and national governments owned land in the red light district of Yongjugol, Gyeonggi Province. Women in the red light districts are forced into prostitution through debt bondage and confinement, and they reported that police officers do not enforce anti-trafficking laws, but instead frequent brothels themselves.
South Korean men remain a source of demand for child sex tourism in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, traveling primarily on travel-agency-organized golf group tours or business trips.
However, the government has not prosecuted or convicted any Korean sex tourists during the past seven years.
The ROK is not a party to the 2000 UN TIP Protocol.
Recommendations for the Republic of Korea:
Become a party to the 2000 UN TIP Protocol.
US Department of State, Trafficking in Persons Report, p. 232
Kiribati is a source country for girls subjected to sex trafficking within the country. Crew members, mainly South Korean men on foreign fishing vessels in Kiribati or in its territorial waters around Tarawa, exploit children. A local NGO has reported that as many as 50 I-Kiribati girls, some as young as 12, may be subjected to forced prostitution in local bars, hotels, and aboard vessels.

According to data released by the Seoul Metropolitan Government (SMG) on Wednesday, 49.4% of male respondents age 15 to 19 said that they are "positive" about going under the knife to improve their appearance.
32.6% of Korean males aged 20-60 also declared that they are "positive" about using plastic surgery to improve their appearance.
A 2011 survey found that personal vanity was the greatest concern for for males age 15 to 19, with appearance being ranked Korea No. 3 with study No. 1 and career No. 2.
Koh Dong-wan, The Korea Times, 17 July 2014
The weak economic outlook in Korea has forced companies to favour cheaper, younger recruits over more expensive older employees.
About 56 percent of total requests from recruiters for the first five months of 2014 were for workers with less than five years experience.
Kim Ji-yoon, Korea Joongang Daily. 16 July 2014
The Korea Customs Service has seized 40.4 kilograms of methamphetamine in the first 6 months of 2014.
The amount of methamphetamine smuggled within the past six months has already surpassed the total for all of 2013.
The number of drug-smuggling cases uncovered by the Korea Customs Service has risen from 150 in 2009 to 232 in 2012.
In an interview with Naver sports columnist Lee Young-mi, Ahn Sun-ju described playing in Japan as a liberating experience. She said that when she competed in Korea, her ability as a golfer was never enough.
"Some (potential Korean) sponsors even demanded I get a plastic surgery and for other favors," she said. "Companies did not consider me as a golf athlete, only that I was a woman. It mattered most to them was whether my appearance was marketable. I was deeply hurt by that."
Ahn Sun-ju, 26, has won 16 tournaments, including three this year, and banked 500 million yen (about $5 million) prize money since joining the JLPGA in 2010.
While Ahn definitely has the talent to extend her dominance to her home country, do not expect her to visit Korea anytime soon due to the unreasonable demands of Korean businessmen.
Ahn her made pro debut with the KLPGA in 2006 and won six tournaments before jumping to the JPLGA. But despite her stellar play, she struggled to find a corporate sponsor in Korea.
"As you can see, I do not have a pretty face, I am not thin, I am not what you would call sexy," Ahn said. "But does that mean I shouldn't be playing golf?
"Japanese companies, on the other hand, focused on my ability as a golfer. They are more concerned about my performance and how I treat my fans. I am being sponsored by six Japanese companies, including a clothing brand."
Kim Tong-hyung, The Korea Times, 10 July 2014
According to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Thursday, a 37-year-old woman, surnamed Lee, sued former Vice Justice Minister Kim Hak-eui on Tuesday, insisting that she was raped by Kim at a villa owned by businessman Yun Jung-cheon in Gangwon Province and that Kim recorded the incident.
She also accused Yun Jung-cheon, who was placed behind bars last year for fraud, breach of trust and other illicit acts, of taking part in the videotaping of Kim raping her.
The controversial video footage that reportedly showed Kim having sex with a woman surfaced last year, attracting keen public attention. The footage led the prosecution to begin a probe. Kim faced allegations that he had sex with a women hired by Yun and used illegal drugs in parties held at the businessman's vacation home in Gangwon Province between 2006 and 2008. However, Kim was cleared of charges in November.
The prosecution said it tracked Kim's whereabouts at the time of the incident through mobile phone positioning and found he was elsewhere. Investigators closed the case, citing a lack of evidence. It also said the statements of witnesses were inconsistent. At the time, Lee said the woman appearing in the footage was not her.
However, Lee changed her story and now says that it was her having sex with Kim. She also accused Yun of forcing her to have sex with five businessmen.
In a recent interview with a local daily, Lee said she decided to come clean as it was hard for her to live a normal life without revealing the truth. "I decided to ask the prosecution to reopen the case because I wanted people to know the truth. I don't want to hide anymore. I haven't committed any crime and will not be held down like a slave," Lee said.
The prosecution said investigators will go over Lee's petition to check whether there is something uncovered by the previous investigation.
World Naval Developments – June 2014, by Norman Friedman
Late in June Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that Japan would modify its military policy to make contributions to collective defence permissible.
In the past, the 'Peace Constitution' has been interpreted to prohibit anything but direct self-defence, which is why the Japanese military is the Self-Defence Force (at one time even the right to self-defence was questioned by some Japanese). Mr. Abe outlined four possible scenarios for such action, including assisting the United States against both ballistic missile attack and attacks on US warships.
The idea of collective defence goes much further. It might include the creation of a Far Eastern collective defence organization of like-minded governments. The Japanese have already decided that they can sell arms to countries not engaged in war. The combination of Mr. Abe's declaration and the arms sales decision might enable Japan to build a kind of Far Eastern NATO. That would not be irrational for the Japanese, considering that Japan depends heavily on seaborne traffic, much of it moving through South Asian waters.
For some time proponents of a more active Japanese military stance have pointed out that modern technology makes it more and more difficult to distinguish between offense and defence, and between defence mounted entirely from Japanese soil and collective defence in more forward areas. For example, many of North Korea's missiles seem to be aimed at Japan as much as at South Korea. However effective a Japanese missile defence shield may be, attacking some of these missiles at source might be a valuable form of defence.
Similarly, Japan depends on seaborne imports for her survival. Convoy operations may seem to be the appropriate form of defence, but it is not clear that they would be entirely effective against fast nuclear submarines. In that case, the best defence might be to attack the enemy's submarines somewhere closer to their bases. Would such operations be offensive or defensive? If Japan's US ally were conducting them, would Japanese participation be appropriate or even necessary? As Chinese military power grows, at what point should Japan take up more of the burden of measures which ultimately protect her?
The US government, which has long hoped that Japan would take a more active role in defending the Far East, applauded Abe's action. Japan is already involved in the US ballistic missile defence program, and Japanese ships have participated in maneuvers alongside the US Navy. The Japanese have also provided valuable logistical support, for example in the Middle East. Japanese policy has gradually expanded the definition of direct defence of the country.
For example, Japan accepted that maritime defence had to extend out to at least 1000 nm, and that in turn justified the construction of helicopter-carrying destroyers, the latest of which are clearly helicopter (and perhaps STOVL) carriers. A realist contemplating the Chinese navy would have to point out that the potential threat to Japanese shipping includes missile-carrying bombers as well as submarines. During the Cold War the US Navy concluded that missile-armed surface ships were not enough to deal with the analogous Soviet threat. Carrier-borne fighters were essential. Japan may be edging towards building carriers. Would they be offensive or defensive? Is the distinction meaningful?
The Chinese were predictably furious at Mr. Abe's announcement. Japan is the only Far Eastern country which has the resources to stand up to the growing Chinese military machine. If economics were the sole determinant in forming alliances, and if only a Chinese threat mattered, Japan would become the core of a Far Eastern alliance including India, Australia, and Korea.
Early in the Cold War the US Government tried to create a Pacific equivalent of NATO anchored on Japan. In fact, Japan was and is proportionately far more powerful in the Far East than Germany was and is in Europe. The idea failed because proposed alliance members (Australia and the Philippines) were more worried about a resurgent Japan than about the apparently more abstract threats posed by Mao's China and Stalin's Soviet Union. Even South Korea, which really had felt the effect of Communist aggression, was unwilling to join with its former occupier. The brutalities of the past were just too close. As recently as 2012, the Korean government found that popular pressure blocked an agreement to share intelligence with Japan. The South Korean government was notably unhappy at Mr. Abe's announcement.
The problem lies in the past, and in the uses different governments make of it. By the end of World War II, the Japanese were saying that they had fought a just war to liberate Asia from Western colonialism. Many of those they had liberated had fared rather badly during the war; the Japanese were at least as brutal as those they displaced. However, when the war ended, in some places the Japanese handed over power to anti-colonial movements. They can, for example, take considerable credit for the emergence of Indonesia and Vietnam as independent countries. This just-war message is displayed in detail at Yasukuni, the Japanese war memorial.
Those badly victimized by Japan during the war find this less than palatable. Wartime Japanese brutality may be explainable by the exigencies of war, but Koreans remember 40 years of Japanese colonial rule, culminating in horrific atrocities. In recent years they have been particularly infuriated by Japanese refusal to apologize for the forced prostitution of hundreds of thousands of Korean women during World War II.
The Chinese situation is no happier. World War II in the Far East began with Japanese invasions of Manchuria and then of China proper. In China the Japanese committed numerous atrocities, beginning with the Rape of Nanking. Ultimately the war cost at least 15 million Chinese lives. The struggle against Japan holds particular significance for the current Chinese Communist government. It has long used the war as a unifying national theme, claiming that the wartime Communists were particularly effective in resisting the Japanese. It seems that Chinese nationalism, as symbolized by the fight against Japan, has been promoted particularly actively in the quarter-century since the Tien-an-Men Square massacre (June 1989, with related massacres in other Chinese cities). It does not help that Prime Minister Abe has visited Yasakuni (despite, incidentally, US government advice not to go). The Japanese argue that Yasakuni is a privately-run museum and shrine, hence does not reflect official policy.
It seems unlikely that the Japanese will retreat under Chinese pressure. Presumably the Chinese are looking for ways to preclude the formation of a Japanese-led anti-Chinese alliance. They may see South Korean hatred for Japan as a valuable fulcrum. At one time, Koreans felt dependent on the United States to stave off the North Koreans. Given their very considerable economic strength, they are increasingly independent-minded. For example, for years US policy was deliberately to limit the ranges of South Korean missiles, for fear that the South Koreans might turn their attention to their old enemy, Japan.
In recent years the South Koreans have broken free of US-sponsored limits. Ironically, some of their missiles are described as relatives of Russian weapons; the Russians sold weapons to Korea because they owed South Korea so much hard currency. The irony is that Russia is also the main weapon supplier to North Korea. In 2015 South Korea is to take over command of the joint UN (mainly Korean and US) force in that country.
Reportedly the South Koreans are developing a pre-emptive concept called 'Kill Chain,' which they see as a deterrent against a North Korean attack. Anyone looking at the possibility of a Chinese-South Korean alignment might ponder the visit of the current Chinese President to Seoul without any visit to Pyongyang. In the past, Chinese Presidents have certainly visited Seoul – but they have been careful to visit North Korea first.
What should we do? We certainly do not want the Chinese to run us out of the Far East, as they appear to want to do. That requires that we reassure our friends in that vast area. We typically imagine that countries are either on our side, neutral, or hostile. That omits the possibility, which the Korean and Japanese cases illustrate so well, that countries friendly with us may wish to erase each other. We are already familiar with this sort of situation in the Middle East, but it is much more universal than we may imagine. How do we sustain a necessary degree of power in an area without being crippled by local enmities?
Air-Sea Battle proposals often include dispersal of US ground-based combat aircraft throughout the Far East, so that they are difficult to destroy on the outbreak of war. That may or may not be a very good idea. For example, dispersed aircraft entail disproportionately high support costs. Modern ground bases are not so easy to conceal, and they don't move at high speed. What typically is not taken into account is the politics of such dispersal. Placing military assets on someone else's soil requires his permission. Governments usually extract a veto on operations undertaken from their soil. In 1986, US bombers based in the United Kingdom were deployed in a strike against Libya. British permission apparently was not sought, and the result was a much-reduced US air footprint in the UK – and rules which made it impossible to repeat a unilateral strike.
Perhaps it is time to remember that our naval forces are sovereign territory, the only kind from which strikes of any kind can be mounted without someone else's permission. Carrier battle groups are hardly inexpensive, but it is well to remember a history of governments denying us the use of bases on their territory. Again and again our experience has been that once we show that we can act unilaterally, other governments (in whose interest it would be to act) decide to join us. That was certainly the case during both Gulf Wars. When we applaud Mr. Abe's initiative to join in collective defence, it may be well to understand that he may see participation as valuable leverage. To the extent that he provides essential support, he can help decide what we can and cannot do. The same might be said of others in the region, such as the Koreans.

Ada Liu (34) met Korean singer Hwang Chansung (24) when they were participants on the Chinese dating entertainment show "If You Love."
She told the press, "I'm thankful that the program introduced me to someone who shines so much and makes my heart throb."
"My boyfriend has met my parents, and my parents liked him."
Chan-sung's seniors at agency JYP Entertainment (whose owner is a nephew-in-law of fugitive ferry owner Yoo Byeung-eun) were quick to deny Hwang's love for Liu with the implication that the relationship was only for publicity purposes for the Chinese Noona Market.
Chung Joo-won, The Korea Herald, 7 July 2014
Park Jin-young has engaged in strenuous activity to deny the jilted noona story of Ada Liu. Park Jin-young's time and energy would be better spent helping Korean law enforcement authorities catch his fugitive uncle-in-law, Yoo Byung-eun, the owner of the ferry that sank with the loss of more than 300 lives, many of them children, on 16 April 2014.
Koh Dong-wan. The Korea Times, 8 July 2014
Park Jin-young's agency in further neglect of aiding in the capture of fugitive ferry owner Yoo Byung-eun, have expended enormous amounts of time and energy in promoting Chansung's 2PM stablemate and fellow noona idol Nichkhun.
"Nichkhun has established himself as an actor through 'One and a Half Summer,' and became a new rising star in China. Please root (sic) for his success," his agency JYP Entertainment is quoted as saying.
Kim Min-jin, The Korea Herald, 1o July 2014
In 2013, 1 in 6 marriages in Korea were Noona Marriages and TV dramas and songs that highlight this phenomenon have become popular marketing techniques for selling young Korean male entertainers into Chinese and Japanese Noona markets.
All the members of 2PM, except Minjun, have assiduously courted the Noona Market as can be seen from this transcript of an interview with Ginger Magazine.
Wooyoung: Age wise, it would be about 5 years older than me.
Taecyeon: It's the same for me. I am okay with someone 10 years older.
Chansung: .I don't care about age.
Junho: I don't make a fuss over age too.
Nichkhun: I love older women in general.
Minjun: Her outer appearance should be cute with a lovely smile. If on the inside, she has good judgement and is able to hold her own opinion then that's perfect!
Following the failure of the City of Busan to persuade foreign theme park owners, such as Disney and Universal Studios, to invest in the designated tourism precinct in the east of Busan, Korean entertainment agencies are considering forming a consortium to construct Noona World, to attract Chinese and Japanese noonas to provide employment for young Korean men, thousands of whom have left Busan over the last decade to seek similar work in Seoul. The consortium is also considering the formation of a super group to be called Noona Boyz.

Hi Everyone!
Hi friends and family!As many of you know, I will be traveling to France next week to start my study abroad semester in Pau, France. Since my communication will be limited, I thought that a blog would be a great way to keep everyone in the loop!

The cog railroad climbs at an amazingly steep 25% grade, which is six times greater than the steepest grade found on typical railroads. This is possible because the cog train uses a cog or gear engaged to a continuously toothed third rail to literally pull itself forward. It was a smooth journey – slow and steady – that allowed us to oohh and aahh along the way.

It was an awesome trip. We are happy to be home.

Insights From The Designer: Link
"I love icons. Drawing with vectors makes me happy, gives me a lot of fun and lets me express my passion. Each one of these icons is an explosion of creativity — this is the reason why I draw and love every little detail in them. Another aspect I love when I draw is, "Don't follow rigid lines". I try not to use squares or circles, because I love imperfect lines. They make me think back to all the cartoons in my childhood, and as a lover of Mickey Mouse, I just have to follow my heart! ☺"
A big Thank You to Manuela Langella91 for designing this wonderful icon set — we sincerely appreciate your time and efforts! Keep up the brilliant work!

Perhaps a new optimism (PoemTalk #68)
Ray DiPalma, 'It makes / of nonsense'
Aaron Shurin (then just in from the Bay Area), John Tranter (visiting from Australia), and Charles Bernstein (coming in from New York) joined Al Filreis for this episode of PoemTalk to discuss a poem by Ray DiPalma, "It makes of nonsense." The poem was written in 1976, and first performed, we think, in 1977. Our text of the poem comes from the poet, and is reproduced below. Our PennSound recording of the poem was segmented from a longer tape of a reading DiPalma gave, along with Michael Lally and Bruce Andrews (quite a threesome in those years), at the Ear Inn in New York City on November 10, 1977; the tape-recording itself was made by the aforementioned Charles Bernstein, one of this episode's interlocutors.
When the group encounters this passage — "the basis / of this world / the failure / of causality / common / sense is not / what hat / we find there" — we focus on "what hat," that which we find there once cause-and-effect relations have been deemed to fail. John suggests that a reading of the passage can be straightforward, that hat is a role (as in what hat you wear to signify a job or assumed identity). Thus a "new optimism" augured by this poem might derive from a fresh sense of "common / sense" that does not make identity a function of put-on role. Charles agrees. Aaron and Al suggest a second reading, in which "hat" emerges out of "what" as language, suggesting an alternative to the traditional causality in which a word rather than a thing ("what") can emerge from a thing, a hat pulled (as it were) out of the poem's hat. Al and Aaron see the poem as, perhaps only in hindsight, a programmatic poem for L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, and begin to make a list of aesthetic ideas and practices the poem recommends in very the way it is formed to say what it says. Whatever doubts about this Charles and John share, all agree that when the poem turns to cause and effect it offers a radical alternative for "it" (it being the poem or poetic project, the it that the poem makes of nonsense), so that "instead of / basing it / on cause / and effect // they built / it on cause / and perhaps." Not cause and effect but cause and perhaps. It's that embrace of perhaps — key to the poem's open-endedness — that leads to its new optimism. What Deleuze and Guattari call "a concerted deconstruction of the signifier, non-sense erected as a flow," can a positive step in our efforts to understand how language creates connection. Indeed, Ray DiPalma came across a passage from Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia by Deleuze & Guattari that, he feels, bears special relevance of the poem: "But through the impasses and the triangles a schizophrenic flow moves, irresistibly; sperm, river, drainage, inflamed genital mucus, or a stream of words that do not let themselves be coded, a libido that is too fluid, too viscous: a violence against syntax, a concerted deconstruction of the signifier, non-sense erected as a flow, polyvocity that returns to haunt all relations."
Pictured above at right, from left to right: Charles Bernstein, Al Filreis, Aaron Shurin, and John Tranter. This episode of PoemTalk was directed and engineered by Steve McLaughlin, and edited, as always, by the same talented Steve McLaughlin. Al Filreis is PoemTalk's creator and producer. Special thanks to Nuria Sheehan and Cathy Halley of the Poetry Foundation for their collaborative efforts and support; to Jessica Lowenthal, Andrew Beal, Lily Applebaum, and others at the Kelly Writers House for space and logistical help; to Chris Martin for his constant technical acumen and fast keyboard fingers; to the thousands of people of ModPo, who generously created a fund to support digital poetic outreach and who tend to listen to the whole series of PoemTalks as if they constitute a survey course introducing contemporary American poetry.
Here now is Ray DiPalma's poem:

Girl head mostly eyes (PoemTalk #67)
Catherine Wagner, 'This Is a Fucking Poem'
Rae Armantrout, Laura Elrick, and Rachel Blau DuPlessis joined PoemTalk's producer and host Al Filreis to talk about Catherine Wagner's "This Is a Fucking Poem." The text of the poem is most readily available in Wagner's book My New Job (Fence Books, 2011). It was previously collected in a chapbook, Hole in the Ground, published by Slack Buddha Press of Oxford, Ohio, in 2008 (5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 28 pages). The Hole in the Ground poems form a sequence, even beginning with a poem setting out "The Argument." On their site, the Slack Buddha folks say mildly (but, to be sure, accurately) that these poems "explore [...] the mores of interpersonal relationships." The PoemTalkers say much the same thing of "This Is a Fucking Poem" in particular, but perhaps, in the spirit of our poem, more bluntly. The fucking poem, which includes child sexualization through insectization and (self-) cannibalism or body mortification and brutal socialization ("Send her to school // ... her eyes will retract inside // ... nobody will hurtcha"), asks us right away not to "expect too much" and then nevertheless "go[es] into the / fucking human tunnel" headlong.
Wagner here is writing "under the sign of Armantrout," as Rachel points out. To the clear influence of the writings of one of our own PoemTalkers (Rae herself humbly did not bring it up; we others did), we also add these styles ("allusional zones") to the always striking Wagernian mix: Emily Dickinson; Sylvia Plath; Franz Kafka ("I woke up and I was turned into a little girl-bug" — per Rachel); Perrault's/Grimms' fairy tale of stalking-become-mastication, "Little Red Riding Hood"/"Little Red-Cap"; and Olga Broumas's key feminist poem "Little Red Riding Hood." To quote from the famous Broumas poem:
No child, no daughter between my bones
has moved, and passed
out screaming, dressed in her mantle of blood
as I did
once through your pelvic scaffold, stretching it
like a wishbone
Now Wagner:
… go into the
fucking human tunnel
I'm going …
shudder out the little-girl
legs with a little
girl head mostly eyes …
Stroke her riding hood
Settle down, little
nobody will hurtcha
by breaking off your little legs,
six little legs,
if you come.
The poem raises haunting questions. Is there always a threat of being eaten by someone in disguise as a loved one? And — frightfully — can that threat be transposed onto or even into oneself? What does all this have to do with child-getting, child rearing, and birthing? (With Rebecca Wolff, Catherine Wagner is editor of Not for Mothers Only: Contemporary Poems on Child-Getting and Child Rearing [2007].)
The recording of Wagner performing "This Is a Fucking Poem" comes from the reading she gave at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, on February 26, 2011. She also read several other poems from the Hole in the Ground series. These and many more recordings are available at PennSound's Catherine Wagner page. PoemTalk this time was directed and engineered by Steve McLaughlin, and edited — as always — by the same super-talented Steve McLaughlin. Next time on PoemTalk: Charles Bernstein (coming back to Philadelphia from New York), Aaron Shurin (visiting from the Bay Area), and John Tranter (with us all the way from Australia) join Al to discuss a poem by Ray DiPalma, "It makes of nonsense."
Deep heart's core sound (PoemTalk #66)
W. B. Yeats, 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'
Taije Silverman, Max McKenna, and John Timpane joined Al Filreis to discuss William Butler Yeats's "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" [text], surely his most famous early poem (written in 1888; published in 1890) and a staple of his poetry readings into the 1930s. Yeats's father had read Walden aloud to him; Thoreau's pastoral simplification had been alluring for him as a teen, when he fantasized living on an uninhabited island in Lough Gill (near Sligo) — Innisfree. In the poem, the speaker, now longing for an orginary Ireland "while I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey" of the city (presumably London), expresses his desire to build a small cabin on the isle and, like Thoreau, to plant rows of beans and "have some peace there." The romantic torque generated by such Irish/English splitting produces at the same time a brilliant but makeshift, extra-cultural — one might almost say, dramatically dislocated — prosody. The striking sound made by this poem is a topic that draws special attention from our three talkers.
PennSound's Yeats page includes three recordings of Yeats performing this poem: the first recorded sometime in 1937; the second recorded on October 28, 1936; the third sometime in 1932. At another 1932 — on October 4 — he took two minutes to introduce the poem. Here is a transcription of his commentary on our poem: "I am going to begin with a poem of mine called 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree' because if you know anything about me you will expect me to begin with it. It is the only poem of mine which is very widely known. When I was a young lad in the town of Sligo I read Thoreau's essays and wanted to live in a hut on an island in Lough Gill called Innisfree, which means 'Heather Island.' I wrote the poem in London when I was about twenty-three. One day in The Strand I heard a little tinkle of water and saw in a shop window a little jet of water balancing a ball on the top. It was an advertisement, I think, for [of?] cooling drinks. But it set me thinking of Sligo and lake water. I think there is only one obscurity in the poem. I speak of noon as a 'purple glow.' I must have meant by that the reflection of heather in the water."
This 66th episode of PoemTalk was directed and engineered by Rebekah Caton and Christopher Martin, and edited, as always, by Steve McLaughlin. Above, from left to right: Taije Silverman, Al Filreis, John Timpane, Max McKenna.

I put some in yesterday, Tricia. Some of last week's flower show, and
of the tree that fell this summer. I'll organize some others soon - I've
been wanting to show off some things, but this summer has not been
good in my garden.
We did have about 1 1/2 inches of rain on Friday, and it's much
cooler. I had a man here working and he brought in my heavy plants.
I was going to give up on my old hibiscus bushes - two were smashed
by the fallen tree and all had been stripped by deer, but Percy just
wouldn't hear of it. "They're trying to live - give them a chance," he
kept saying, so two of them came in. Both are over ten years old -
probably more than that. I just can't date them precisely any more.
If I or the plants make it until next spring, he will have to help me
get them out again.

I hope some of you guys will put some of your pictures from your gardens on

Video: Blogger forced to defend tool who smeared his site just last week
posted at 9:29 pm on June 1, 2009 by Allahpundit
In case you were wondering what I meant yesterday about blogs being more insufferable than usual this week, witness the lefty campaign today to lay George Tiller's death at O'Reilly's feet. As John McCormack at the Standard points out, anti-torture advocates have leveled plenty of similarly harsh attacks on the Bush administration. Anyone think the left would be doing any navel-gazing had some wayward Kossack bought a gun and shot Donald Rumsfeld, say, in the face? Cranks behaving crankishly is the tragic price one pays in a country that respects freedom of speech. Had any liberal taken the endless comparisons between Bush and Hitler seriously, or taken one too many Olbermann exhortations about Republican "fascism" to heart, and fired a weapon, we'd be endlessly reminded that passionate criticism is a core First Amendment value. As it is, we're being told O'Reilly's an accomplice to murder, even though the guy who pulled the trigger was arrested for playing around with exposives as far back as 13 years ago. Kudos to BillO for not whitewashing Tiller's record, notwithstanding the contempt any right-thinking person has for the gutless cretin who murdered him.
