The Itar-Tass news agency reported the district attorney in Murmansk decided to bring a criminal case after receiving information from Norwegian authorities. The charges are the latest wrinkle in a series of incidents between Russian trawlers and Norwegian inspectors in the Arctic ocean. In recent weeks, Norway has detained some trawlers, saying they were fishing in Norwegian territorial waters around Spitzbergen. The two inspectors the captain is accused of kidnapping reportedly were trying to detain his ship, the Murmansk, when he decided to head for his home port.

French Police, Youths Clash in Paris Suburbs for Seventh Night
The rioting began last Thursday in Clichy-sous-Bois after two teenagers were accidentally electrocuted and a third was injured while apparently trying to escape from police by hiding in a power substation. Officials have said police were not chasing the boys.
But the original cause has been all but forgotten as residents of other communities weary of poverty, unemployment and discrimination against the large immigrant and Muslim populations have vented their frustration.
In some areas, unemployment runs as high as 20 percent -- more than twice the national average, de Villepin told lawmakers.

How many of us space enthusiasts have really noticed the arrival of the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa at the asteroid Itokawa? The mission that the Japanese are attempting is really something great. But this mission (it has some technical trouble that should be possible to overcome) has passed almost unnoticed by major media and even space news outlets. Why is that? Because only what NASA does matters? Or, because the Japanese do not posssess the effective PR machine that NASA has? What do you think?
A Japanese spacecraft is about to make a close encounter with an asteroid in a mission to recover space dust. The Hayabusa probe is stationed over a giant asteroid some 300 million km from Earth.
On Friday, it will descend to the surface of the 600m-long space rock to carry out observations and release a tiny robotic probe.

Flushing Man (Korean) Mows Down Young Father On Way Home A young mother, soon to wed the father of her child, will not get that chance after a drunk driver killed her fiance Saturday night in Flushing.
According to police, Quizhpi was riding his bike home to Corona from his job as a bus boy at a Korean restaurant in Flushing, when he was struck by a blue van at 11:15 p.m. on the shoulder of Northern Boulevard, near Prince Street.
Quizhpi, 24, was declared dead at the scene. Arrested was Joung Il Cho, 37, of 156th Street in Flushing. He was charged with vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving. His blood alcohol was 0.195, double the legal limit.
This is not the first time the defendant has been involved in an accident. Records show that in 2001, Cho was convicted of vehicular assault.
About 265,000 Koreans live overseas illegally, according to documents the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade submitted to the Unification, Foreign Affairs, and Trade Committee of the National Assembly for its annual inspection.
The documents, up to date as of end of August, counted 265,031 Koreans living abroad as illegal aliens.
The breakdown by country indicates that the United States has the highest number with 180,000 Korean illegal migrants, followed by Japan with 43,151, Philippines with 23,000, Canada with 10,000, Australia with 2,619, Mexico with 2,400, and China with 2,230.
In the case of Philippines, it is presumed that the actual number of illegal aliens with Korean nationality would be more since there are a lot of cases where Koreans enter the country without a visa and then obtain a temporary residence visa through bribery.
the number of last year`s cases where Koreans overseas are involved in crimes of murder, robbery and etc. is 2,132.

One man was killed and 35 people were injured in the Lozells district of Birmingham two weeks ago after gangs of black and Asian youths set on each other following the rumoured rape of a 14-year-old Jamaican girl by a group of Asian men.

FBI Arrests Four for Allegedly Stealing Secrets for China The four "intelligence agents" were arrested in Los Angeles and are charged with trying to steal technology that allows U.S. submarines to move silently underwater. The FBI says one suspect was trying to obtain secrets about spy satellites, torpedoes, and aircraft carrier electronics. According to the FBI, the Chinese are using not only intelligence agents as spies, but also students, researchers, and businessmen. "We've seen targeting by the Chinese throughout the United States," said Timothy Bereznay, deputy assistant director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division. "We've had cases in Palo Alto, California; Wisconsin; Trenton, New Jersey. It's pervasive, it's redundant." There is more evidence that China is trying to steal other U.S. military secrets. Just ten days ago, a former aerospace engineer who helped develop the B-2 Stealth Bomber was charged as a spy. "B-2 gives the United States a long-range stealth precision strike capability that no other country even approaches," said John Pike, a Global Security.org defense analyst. But there is growing concern some of the stealth technology, which allows the B-2 to fly virtually undetected, has been stolen. Government sources tell ABC News that Noshir Gowadia, who helped design the B-2, sold secrets about the bomber for hundreds of thousands of dollars to eight nations, including China. The secrets allegedly sold involve technology which allows the bomber to avoid heat-seeking missiles. "With China getting this technology," Pike said, "they can do two things. They can copy it for their own planes possibly. They could also counter it, getting heat-seeking missiles that can shoot down the stealth bomber." http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=1282533 http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&ie=UTF-8&ncl=http://washingtontimes.com/national/20051104-111851-2539r.htm
two married couples, who were taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport as they prepared to board a late-night flight for China. Authorities say Chi Mak and his wife copied the information onto CDs and delivered them to Mak's brother, Tai Wang Mak, a broadcast and engineering director for the Phoenix North American Chinese Channel. Tai Wang Mak was scheduled to fly to Hong Kong on October 28 with his wife. From there, he allegedly planned to travel to Guangzhou, China, to meet a contact. Chi Mak and Tai Wang Mak were both charged, along with their wives, Rebecca Laiwah Chiu and Fuk Heung Li, according to a spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office. According to the "LA Times," an FBI agent's affidavit unsealed earlier this week identified the four suspects as Chi Mak and Rebecca Laiwah Chiu of Downey, and Chi's brother Tai Wang Mak along with his wife, Fuk Heung Li of Alhambra. Chi, an engineer at California-based defence contractor Power Paragon, and his wife are naturalised US citizens originally from China.

Like layers of an onion, the secrets surrounding former SDP Diet member Kiyomi Tsujimoto, who was arrested in July, are slowly being peeled back. To begin with, Tsujimoto has long had connections with a man named Akira Kitagawa, whom she met while a student at Waseda University and who Tsujimoto's enemies claim is the person responsible for getting her into politics.
Kitagawa is the head of the Daisansho publishing company. He is also a former leader of the Japanese Red Army who allegedly planned a number of terrorist activities in Europe. In 1975, he was extradited back to Japan. Tsujimoto joined Daisansho as a senior executive in1988 and resigned in 1996, after winning a seat in the Diet. But she did not severe her relations completely. Daisansho published no less than six books written by Tsujimoto on her experiences in the Diet. http://www.fccj.or.jp/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=305&category=1
One year ago today, the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh had his throat ritually slit by Mohamed Bouyeri, a Muslim born in Holland who spoke fluent Dutch. This event has totally transformed Dutch politics, leading to stepped-up police controls that have now virtually shut off new immigration there. Together with the July 7 bombings in London (also perpetrated by second generation Muslims who were British citizens), this event should also change dramatically our view of the nature of the threat from radical Islamism.
A female reporter for the South Korean television station KBS TV was beaten unconscious over the weekend, Agence France-Presse reported.
She was taken to hospital after being set upon by a gang in the northern suburb of Aubervilliers late Saturday and was to be released Sunday, said a French cameraman working with her who declined to give his name.
"We were assaulted by a group of four or five people aged 25 to 30 who demanded money," the cameraman said. "Two were really aggressive. I was carrying the camera at the time, and they hit me in the face, stunning me for two or three minutes." The Korean reporter then threw herself forward, yelling and trying to protect the camera, he said.
"One of the two kicked her brutally and she was taken to hospital unconscious," the cameraman said.
Australia and Japan on Monday joined Britain, Canada, Russia and the United States in issuing public advisories that, while not calling for trips to France to be avoided altogether, recommended caution because of the violence. Australia's travel advisory warned: "Violent riots, involving arson attacks on buildings and cars, and the use of missiles such as petrol bombs, are occurring in many areas of France, including in Paris and other major cities." It called on its citizens to "exercise a high degree of caution and avoid any demonstrations" if they had to go through the affected areas.
Some of the most violent criminals at large today are illegal aliens. Let’s take a moment to point out the fact that the loony liberals have insured that these poor misunderstood criminals cannot be profiled and checked for immigration status. Even a person who is known to be in felonious violation of immigration law can not be stopped and arrested by local law enforcement.
http://www.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/getarticle.pl5?nn20051106a8.htm 1905 treaty paving way to annexing Korea illegal: scholars The Japan Times, Japan - Nov 5, 2005 By ERIC JOHNSTON Japan's Korean community has more relevance as the 100th anniversary of a treaty that made Korea a protectorate of Japan and paved the way for eventual annexation and colonization. At a symposium in Osaka on Friday, Japanese and Korean scholars said the treaty was illegal, and therefore Japan had no right to represent Korea when it signed any further treaties, including the Potsdam Treaty in 1945, which ended the war in the Pacific and divided the Korean Peninsula into North and South. "The evidence that the treaty was illegally signed and therefore null and void is strong. Ultimately, this is an issue that will likely have to be tried at the International Court of Justice in The Hague," Ryukoku University professor Esturo Totsuka told the symposium. According to scholars, at 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 18, 1905, after Japanese police had dragged Korean Prime Minister Han Kyu Sol from his chamber, former Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito and other officials forced him against his will to affix his signature to a document that became known as the 1905 Korea Protectorate Treaty. "This was clearly a violation of international laws at the time, and it was the beginning of the long and tragic occupation of Korea, which led to at least 1 million Koreans being sent to Japan as forced laborers or as sex slaves," said Kim Yu Gwang, the head of a group connected to the Osaka chapter of the General Association of Korean Residents of Japan (Chosen Soren), a pro-Pyongyang organization.
The Korean Government also requires now the passing of the Korean Language Test (KLT) as a criteria in the hiring of foreign workers including Filipinos under the Employment Permit System (EPS).
Mr. Bush said that Japan is on the same side with the U.S. in terms of dealing with a tyrant in North Korea.

Korean fugitive nabbed in $8M stock scam Newsday, NY November 8, 2005 Acting on a tip from Interpol, the global police agency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in New Jersey arrested a Korean national wanted in that country for an $8 million stock and currency swindle.
Heung Joo Kim, 56, is facing a deportation hearing and an extradition request from Korea. He was arrested Friday at his home.
Federal authorities discovered Kim was living in the United States when agents checked fingerprints received from Interpol and Korean authorities against a U.S. database into which Kim's fingerprints were stored when he entered the country as a visitor in December 2004, said Thomas Manifase, deputy special agent in charge of ICE's New Jersey office.

http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2005/11/08/asian_communist_states_hit_in_us_religion_report/ State Dept. Cites China on Human Rights November 8, 2005 The United States on Tuesday named Asian communist states China, North Korea and Vietnam, as well as military-run Myanmar, as serious violators of religious freedom in an annual State Department report to Congress. "These are countries where governments have engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom over the past year," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told reporters as she unveiled the report, covering 197 countries. Still, she held up Vietnam, which remained on the worst violators list, as an example of a country that had made progress in 2005, including signing a pact with Washington over how the Southeast Asian state would improve religious rights. The report placed China, North Korea and Myanmar on a list of authoritarian states which "regard some or all religious groups as enemies of the state because of their religious beliefs or their independence from central authority." The report said Beijing had placed under heavy scrutiny and sometimes harassed underground Christian groups, Muslims of the Uighur ethnic minority, Tibetan Buddhists and members of Falun Gong, a meditation sect. Falun Gong has doggedly criticized China since Beijing banned it in 1999.
Although China angrily rejects such U.S. scrutiny as unwarranted meddling in its internal affairs
CHILLING NORTH KOREA REPORTS In North Korea, "religious freedom does not exist," the report said. It cited refugee accounts of executions of underground Christians and unconfirmed claims that Christians were tortured for reading the Bible. "Some of these reports are chilling in terms of arrests and torture and imprisonment, large numbers of people of faith in prison camps in North Korea," said Hanford.

Such missiles are designed to bring down aircraft. Chao Tung Wu, 51, and Yi Qing Chen, 41, are naturalized U.S. citizens born in China, authorities said. http://www.lawfuel.com/index.php?page=press_releases&handler=focus&pressreleaseid=4675&category=&return=list-publications&sortby=timestamp&screen=1 The new indictment charges Chao Tung Wu, 51, of La Puente, California, and Yi Qing Chen, 41, of Rosemead, California, with conspiracy to import missile systems designed to destroy aircraft. http://www.wpherald.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20051026-095400-3433r The China Xinshidai Group, a conglomerate of several Chinese state-run manufacturers, is accused in a scheme to illegally export Chinese missiles to the United States through organized crime groups. The officials said the missile case developed out of the large-scale federal investigation in Los Angeles known as Smoking Dragon. Mr. Wu was identified in a federal indictment handed up in June as one of four persons linked to a conspiracy to sell high-quality counterfeit $100 bills known as supernotes. The counterfeit notes were produced by North Korea and are the first prosecution of a case involving illegal currency production by the communist country. Operation Smoking Dragon, along with Operation Royal Charm in Newark, N.J., led to the arrests in August of 59 persons -- many of them Taiwanese or Chinese nationals on charges related to counterfeiting, drug trafficking and dealing in contraband cigarettes. The indictments named 87 persons involved in the illegal activities.

First, I'm really looking forward to my trip. I'll be having meetings with the leaders of Japan, China, South Korea, and Mongolia, and then, of course, will attend the APEC meeting, as well as meeting with ASEAN countries.
NHK Q Okay, Mr. President, thank you. It seems the relationship between Japan and China is currently at an all-time low. We have heard criticism, concern voiced by China about Prime Minister Koizumi's recent visit to Yasukuni Shrine. This is, Mr. President, historically, a sensitive issue between the two countries. As poor relations between Japan and China have a significant impact on U.S. national interests in Asia, I suppose, what can the United States do to address the worsening relationship between the two countries I mean, Japan and China and how would you like to rebuild U.S., Japan and China relations as a part of your comprehensive diplomacy towards Asia?
THE PRESIDENT: What I can do is to urge the leaders of not only China and Japan to dialogue, and to try to get the past behind them as we move forward, but also to do the same with the South Korean leader. I think the issue that you described goes beyond just Japanese-Chinese relationships, it's probably Japanese-South Korean relationships, as well. And my point to not only the Prime Minister of Japan but to the respective Presidents is that, look, I understand that there is great tension as a result of some events that took place in the past. But the United States and China, I mean, the United States and Japan at one time were sworn enemies. And now here we are sitting down as friends. In other words, it's possible to forget the past, it's difficult, but it is possible. So I think a useful role for me will be to paint a -- talk about the future and talk about how optimistic the future can be, particularly as nations are able to work out past differences and focus on what's -- and focus on the future. No question that there's tension. On the other hand, if you look at capital flows between Japan and China, there is a significant amount of investment taking place, which indicates to me that there is a possibility for the relations to improve over time. In other words, not all aspects of the relationship is negative.

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/12/nyregion/12print.html Suspect in Killing Is Arrested, 20 Years After Hit and Run November 12, 2005 The silver Corvette did not swerve or slow as it sped a block and a half up Broadway and slammed into five teenagers who were leaving a dance near Columbia University. Four bounced away, their bones broken, but the fifth, a 17-year-old high school student, was dragged about a block and died. That was 20 years ago, early on a Saturday, Aug. 10, 1985. The Corvette was found later in Lower Manhattan, its 21-year-old driver, Yeong Shin辛, gone, the police said. The car belonged to his father, and detectives returned repeatedly to his family's home in Queens, but they said no one had heard from him. A fingerprint lifted from the car's windshield was also no help to their investigation, as Mr. Shin had no prints on record. Besides, it could have been left on the car at any time. No two fingerprints are alike, but they also never change. That, the police said, is what finally led to the arrest of Mr. Shin on Sunday in Queens, after the fingerprint on the windshield finally matched another. At the party, there was what the authorities described as a large fight between Korean and Chinese students that spilled out onto the street. No one saw the Corvette coming until it was too late, said Robert Poon, now 37, who was a close friend of Cu Tran. The break came this year after investigators added the old fingerprint to a new software system, which searched updated databases for a match. In May, the software found one: Mr. Shin, the police said. Since the hit and run, he had been arrested twice on a driving while intoxicated charge, once in Midtown Manhattan in 1999 and once in the Bronx in 2001, the police said. In at least one of the arrests, Mr. Shin had used a different name, Detective Rivera said.

Liu Qibing, who worked for China's State Reserve Bureau, took short copper positions that some London dealers said amounted to between 100,000 and 200,000 tons. The positions require delivery of copper by Dec. 21, the newspaper said.

やっぱし発展途上国は、ホテルの部屋数さえも無いんだな、無理ならホストするなよ馬鹿チョン! http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/SEO155791.htm Olympic dreams and love hotels at APEC PUSAN, South Korea, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Participants at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum had a chance to experience South Korean passion and spirits on Monday ahead of the arrival of leaders later in the week. Here are a few notes from the southeastern port of Pusan, which is hosting the summit:
FEEL THE LOVE South Korea's second city, with a population of about 3.7 million, is awash with hotel rooms. But the five-star rooms go quickly in any city when leaders of 21 economies, foreign ministers and chief executives from some of the world's richest companies along with all of their related staff turn up at the same time.
As a result, media groups and other APEC participants are staying in places euphemistically called "love hotels" where couples can rent rooms by the hour.
Pusan's love hotels have spruced up their rooms, covered mirrors on the ceilings and put their cleanest sheets on round beds for a new sort of clientele.
BUSH TO RECEIVE GIFT FROM N.KOREA DEFECTORS
A group of North Korean defectors living in the South will try to present a gift of traditional ceramics to U.S. President George W. Bush, who arrives in South Korea on Wednesday.
The defectors want to thank Bush for his push to improve human rights in North Korea.
Going to a shrine is a religious matter. You or I can't tell Koisumi to not to do it.
I'm a Christian. Should I stop going to Church because they killed people hundreds years ago in the name of God? No. Should Islam abandon their faith because of Osama Bin Laden? No. It's religious freedom that we respect to eath other. That's part of basic human rights.
This is an Asian affair. It is about bayoneting babies in the single worst atrocity in the World War 2 era: the Nanking Massacre or, especially in view of its horrific violence against women, the Rape of Nanking. After overwhelming the Chinese capital in mid-December of 1937, the Japanese army ran amok in a six-week rampage of rape, torture and slaughter. The death toll: At least 370,000 Chinese men, women, children, babies and the elderly, nearly all civilians. Up to 80,000 women were raped, and then usually murdered.
Nanking unmentioned in most mainstream reporting that I saw is the specter that haunts this week's shameful episode of official Japanese arrogance. Only in 1995 did the Japanese Diet (parliament) get around to recording "deep remorse" about Nanking, but noted the "context of colonial rules and acts of aggression worldwide". The word "apologize" went unuttered.
True, the British in India, Americans in the Philippines, and especially the Belgians in the Congo, committed appalling acts of brutality against native populations. Does that excuse Japan for not only imitating them, but going a lot further? The fact is that Koizumi, and the 101 sheep-like politicians, 93 from his own ruling Liberal Democratic Party, who followed him obediently to Yasukuni the following day, appear to lack any comprehension of Asian memories of Japanese wartime brutality. Their visits demonstrate their poor understanding not just of their neighbors, but of the world. As Americans say: They just don't get it.
http://www.counterpunch.org/ The Persistence of Racism The Ghosts of Japan's Past By CHRISTOPHER REED Meanwhile two more events confirm the sorry state of Japan's official racial and social views. One involves Amnesty International's condemnation of the "comfort women" scandal -- females forced by the Imperial Army into what Amnesty calls "sexual slavery."
The other is the United Nations' Commission on Human Rights' investigator, Doudou Diene's official complaint about "the insularity of Japan's peoples" and the nation's "real racism and xenophobia." This remark was his preface to a full report he will deliver next year, but it received scant coverage in Japan or none at all -- about the same space devoted to the Amnesty report.
In Japan, this film is on air every August on TV, around the day when we surrendered. So almost every Japanese would have seen it at least once or some watch it every summer. I've recently found that the Koreans decided to ban this film to be released in Korea because "it disguises what Japan did to us in WWII". I was very sad about it, because once you watch it, you immediately know that this is not about who's good and who's bad, who wins and who loses. This is about the universal fact of war.
I recommend you watch it with Japanese voices, as they use the real kids, and to make to real (and also to make it natural for those younger kids who knew little about acting) they let those 2 kids play and get relaxed, and then recorded the sentenses they said, and then made the animation from the voices. That's why the talking are so realistic.
I also would like to note that this is based on a real story - the boy actually survived, and wrote a novel that was made into this film. The boy - now an old man - also admitted that he wasn't as good as Seita. When they only had a little portion of food, sometimes he ate it all without giving it to his little sister. He also said that he couldn't deny the fact that he also felt "relieved" when the sister died, that he wouldn't have to worry about taking care of his little sister. I think this is the reality. Who can blame the 14-year-old orphan who himself was trying to survive?
After watching this film, whenever I'm cooking, I feel like "wish I could give this egg to them... wish they had this meat...". It's hard to think that this very same thing is still going on elsewhere.

Speaking in Japan ahead of his visit to China on Saturday, Mr Bush said the world's most populous nation was an example of a society that had started but "not yet completed the journey" towards freedom. "As China reforms its economy, its leaders are finding that once the door to freedom is opened even a crack, it cannot be closed. As the people of China grow in prosperity, their demands for political freedom will grow as well," said Mr Bush in a speech in Kyoto. The President went on to eulogise Taiwan, the autonomous island that has enjoyed de facto independence from China for more than 50 years, largely because of American support. Until 1979, Washington recognised Taipei as the capital of China. "Modern Taiwan is free and democratic and prosperous. By embracing freedom at all levels, Taiwan has delivered prosperity to its people and created a free and democratic Chinese society," said Mr Bush, who also praised Japan as "a pillar of stability and security for the region". Mr Bush coupled his demand for a greater personal freedoms in China with a call for the country to open its economy to foreign competition. "China needs to provide a level playing field for American businesses seeking access to China’s market," said Mr Bush. China currently enjoys a $170 billion trade surplus with the United States. "What I say to the Chinese, as well as others, is that a free society is in your interests," said Mr Bush, who answered questions at a joint news conference with Junichiro Koizumi, the Japanese Prime Minister.
http://www.team4news.com/Global/story.asp?S=4125502&nav=0w0v Texas Alcoholic and Beverage Commission agents arrested a convenience store owner on Tuesday, accused of selling alcohol to some teenagers involved in a deadly crash. In Ho Ahn, a Korean immigrant, found himself in handcuffs as he was taken out of his own store. He's accused of selling alcoholic beverages to minors, two of whom would later be killed in a drunken driving accident in Weslaco.
“The young people I always check the I-D,” Ahn said. “I checked. I checked for the young person. I checked the I-D. I don't understand.”
TABC agents said that they arrested Ahn after their evidence showed he sold beer and other alcoholic beverages to underage teens through the stores drive-thru window. “In talking to different witnesses it appears like this is a location where underage kids knew where to go to purchase the alcohol,” said Aida Cantu, a TABC senior agent. Before the accident, the pair had been at an underage drinking party, where two other teens are accused of hosting the party and serving the alcohol to minors. “Two minors have already been arrested -- one of them for furnishing alcohol to minors, (who was) the actual person, who hosted the party at her grandparents’ residence,” Cantu said. “And the second minor, who was also arrested, was another 15 year old, who is the one that actually purchased the alcohol at this convenience store.”
何でチョンって、世界中で偽医者とか直ぐやる訳? 日本でも少し前にチョン婆が偽医者で逮捕されてたよな。 Medicines, needles seized; ‘Fake’ Korean dentist held KUWAIT CITY: The Capital Investigations Department recently arrested a “fake” Korean dentist and charged him with “practicing the profession of medicine without a license,” say sources. Acting on information the department conducted investigations which indicated the suspect was practicing dentistry without requisite license and was selling medicines to persons living in the country in violation of the residence laws, they explain. The department then laid a trap and caught the fake “in the act” when the latter agreed to do a “teeth clean up” for an undercover against payment of KD 2. On receiving the predetermined signal from the agent, securitymen stormed the place and placed the “dentist” under arrest, state the sources. A large quantity of medicines, needles and other instruments required for treatment of tooth ailments were also seized from the suspect, they add. The items and the accused have been referred to the authorities. http://www.arabtimesonline.com/arabtimes/kuwait/Viewdet.asp?ID=5650&cat=a

According to the police, the man, with the same family name as the golfer, took money from 970 investors, promising them large profits from investment in a shoe sterilizing business. Mr. Wie allegedly attracted investors by telling them Michelle Wie was going to build a golf course in Jangheung, South Jeolla province, the hometown of her grandfather and that she would promote the shoe sterilizing business near the course for free. Police said Mr. Wie had misrepresented himself as Michelle Wie's uncle since last year. A police officer said, "Mr. Wie had lived with Michelle Wie's grandfather in the same town, but is not related to her." Michelle Wie also has no plans to build a golf course, he added. Mr. Wie had had a picture taken with Michelle Wie when she visited Korea in 2003 and allegedly used the shot to illustrate his connection to the golf star.
November 17, 2005 China Confirms Its First 3 Cases of Bird Flu Infecting People By KEITH BRADSHER
GUANGZHOU, China, Nov. 16 - The Chinese government announced late Wednesday that it had confirmed the country's first three cases of bird flu in people, an admission that marked a potentially far-reaching change in how China handles the emergence of new diseases.
The handling of all three cases contrasts markedly with China's handling two years ago of SARS, or sudden acute respiratory syndrome, which provincial officials here in southeastern China concealed for four months until the disease became an international epidemic.
When reports began circulating late last month of several mysterious illnesses in central China and provincial officials there were reluctant to investigate, the authorities in Beijing responded by seeking help from the World Health Organization and quickly sending in a team of national and overseas investigators.
"I think this is exactly what countries should do," said Dick Thompson, a spokesman at the Geneva headquarters of the health organization, a United Nations agency. "They should be transparent; they should report early."
November 17, 2005 U.S. and Seoul Share a Goal but Not a Strategy on North Korea By DAVID E. SANGER
KYONGJU, South Korea, Thursday, Nov. 17 - President Bush and President Roh Moo Hyun of South Korea tried Thursday to reconcile their differing approaches to dealing with North Korea, with Mr. Roh repeating his vow that a nuclear armed North would "not be tolerated," even while defending his efforts to take a softer approach toward the country.
In a brief news conference after they met here, Mr. Bush quickly and curtly turned aside a question about whether he was willing to provide any significant aid to the North before it disarmed. He said "the right moment to consider" helping the North build a light-water nuclear reactor was after it gave up all of its weapons programs. Mr. Roh, whose government has been trying to entice the North to open up, was silent on the issue.
Leaders urge Korea peace treaty George W Bush and Roh Moo-hyun The two men called for talks on a Korean peace treaty President George Bush and South Korean leader Roh Moo-hyun have said talks should be held to draw up a formal Korean peace treaty.
The 1950-53 war, which left the Korean peninsula divided, was ended with an armistice and North and South are still technically at war.
Both leaders hoped talks on the North Korean nuclear crisis and a peace treaty would complement each other.
They insisted that a nuclear-armed North "will not be tolerated".
Mr Bush is in South Korea as part of an eight-day tour of East Asia. He has already visited Japan and his itinerary includes China and Mongolia.
Mr Bush and Mr Roh met in the ancient Korean capital of Gyeongju for talks and will later join a host of other regional leaders for the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (Apec) summit.
About 250 demonstrators, carrying "Stop Bush" banners gathered at the city's train station to protest at the president's visit. たった250ニダーによる小規模ファビョーン集会、期待はずれ。
4. Efforts by the Republic of Korea to restore the proper name
The Korean people have never accepted the name "Sea of Japan." Since its liberation in 1945, the Republic of Korea has made consistent efforts to restore the appropriate name to the sea area in question. It was in the negotiations of the 1965 Fisheries Agreement between the Republic of Korea and Japan that the Republic of Korea formally took up the issue with Japan. For the designation of this body of water, Korea proposed the "East Sea," while Japan insisted on the term "Sea of Japan." Failing to agree on a common designation, the two countries agreed on a provisional basis to use their own respective names in the original texts of the Agreement, i.e., "East Sea" in the Korean version and "Sea of Japan" in the Japanese version. The Republic of Korea has initiated efforts to convince the international community of the validity of its arguments. For instance, the Republic of Korea brought this issue to the attention of the Member States of the United Nations at the Sixth UN Conference on the Standardization of Geographic Names(UNCSGN)in 1992. Strongly arguing for the name "East Sea," it tried to enlist the support of the international community for its cause. As a result, the Sixth Conference suggested that relevant parties consult with each other to resolve this issue.
Roh drew a comparison between the U.S. Civil War and the end of slavery and called for patience in dealing with North Korea's slave labor camps, which Bush said yesterday appear as big as cities in satellite photos

And I do understand that President Lincoln was quite slow in liberating the slaves in the United States. And this was because the President, if he took the lead in this issue, he thought that America would be divided in opinion, and this would be very serious. In reality, the Civil War did take place, and because of this issue of slaves, there was a situation where the United States was in jeopardy, and because of that, he had to go through a process to ensure that the country would stay together. President Lincoln's first priority was unity among the states of America, and in this large framework of unity, he pursued his policy to free the slaves in the United States. As a result, before the end of the Civil War in the United States, I do understand that President Lincoln was able to free all the slaves in America, and they were actually -- and many people went into the army, many of the slaves, former slaves went into the army and fought for President Lincoln. And this evaluation of President Lincoln's policies was carried out actually 11 years after President Lincoln's death by a scholar who was looking into the situation of the slaves in the United States. I think that this is quite similar to the position that we are taking when it comes to North Korean human rights issues.

A Korean woman arrested on charges of killing her husband is free today after prosecutors declined to file charges. Jee-hyung Song, 28, was released at about 11 p.m. Tuesday, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
Song, a theology student living in Anaheim, was arrested Nov. 10 on suspicion of killing her husband, Dong-uk Kim, 24. He died that night in their apartment from a stab wound to the chest. Anaheim police said Song was the only person with him at the time. In an interview with the Register over the weekend, Song said she was innocent and loved her husband. "Everybody knows we love each other," she said in the interview. "We're perfect for each other. There were no fights, no arguments, just talking. We talked every day. We had conversations with each other, every morning, every night. There was never, ever fighting."
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-sci-maya17nov17,0,5040746.story?track=hpmostemailedlink Maya 'War Crimes Scene' Uncovered Archeologists say bones and other items indicate a massacre that was key to the civilization's fall. Archeologists excavating the ruined Guatemalan city of Cancuen have stumbled across the remains of what they believe is one of the pivotal events in the collapse of the Maya civilization the desperate defense of the once-great trading center and the ritual execution of at least 45 members of its royal court. An enemy as yet unknown not only wiped out the royal dynasty about AD 800, but systematically eliminated religious and cultural artifacts — in effect, killing the city and leaving it abandoned to the elements, according to new research announced Wednesday. The archeological team found dozens of remarkably preserved skeletons piled in mass graves, as well as other artifacts, indicating what the lead researcher described as "a war crimes scene." the city's occupants clearly were aware of the impending disaster. Demarest and his team found a system of hastily constructed and unfinished stone and wooden palisades that they say showed a desperate attempt to defend Cancuen. "Clearly, these defenses failed," Demarest said. The Maya dominated Central America for more than 1,500 years, from well before the birth of Christ to late in the first millennium. They established a complex network of kingdoms dominated by "holy lords," building large cities with palaces and pyramids in the region, reaching their peak from AD 300 to 900. Then, they disappeared. The new discovery "supports Demarest's view that the Classic Maya civilization collapsed by endemic warfare," said archeologist Heather McKillop of Louisiana State University.

A pastor at a Korean church here is accused of using fake visas to bring people into the United States. Don Wan Park, 52, of Hope Korean Church was arrested by federal agents Friday and charged with three counts of visa fraud. He was released on bond after pleading not guilty in federal court Friday afternoon.
Trial was set for Jan. 17. If convicted, Park faces a maximum sentences of 10 years in prison.
According to a federal indictment, Park filed fraudulent visa applications for two Korean men he said were coming to work at his church. The fake applications included seminary transcripts and certificates of ordination, which were counterfeit. The two men had no religious training, nor had they worked for Hope Korean Church, federal agents said.

The Korean government will issue ID cards for Koreans staying illegally in the U.S. in a bid to make a problem that is likely here to stay more manageable, Seoul’s Embassy in Washington said in a statement Sunday.
The Korean Consulate in Los Angeles has agreed with city officials to issue consular identification cards for illegal aliens who have otherwise no way of proving their identity. The cards will list their nationality, birth date and address in a move expected to make life easier for visa overstayers. Implementation is slated for the middle of next year and could be expanded across the U.S. later.
In the last several years, millions of undocumented aliens have illegally immigrated to the United States. They have breached our nation’s immigration laws, displaced many American citizens from jobs and placed an increased financial burden on many state and local governments.

Russian officials said they have started monitoring water content in the Amur river on the border between the Russian far east and China, fearing contamination after toxic substances were discovered in a Chinese tributary of the Amur.

Mr. Yoshida said the growing movement to deny history, like the Rape of Nanjing, was a sort of "religion" for an increasingly insecure nation.

'Second Wives' Are Back November 22, 2005 Mistresses are again a status symbol in China. As scandal spreads, the government worries that they are a motive for public corruption. SHANGHAI — Li Xin knelt in a hotel room here, wearing polka-dot boxer shorts and a grimace on his face. The deputy mayor of Jining, in Shandong province, was pleading with his lover not to report him to authorities. But in the end, the 51-year-old official was exposed and sentenced to life in prison. His crime: accepting more than $500,000 in bribes, which he used to support at least four mistresses in Jining, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Li's transgressions were minor compared with those of other public officials. A top prosecutor in Henan province, for example, was recently stripped of his post and Communist Party membership after investigators alleged that he embezzled $2 million to support his lavish lifestyle — and seven mistresses. China's economic boom has led to a revival of the 2-millennium-old tradition of "golden canaries," so called because, like the showcase birds, mistresses here are often pampered, housed in love nests and taken out at the pleasure of their "masters."
Concubines were status symbols in imperial China. After the Communists took power, they sought to root out such bourgeois evils, even as Chairman Mao Tse-tung reportedly kept a harem of peasant women into his old age.
Now, mistresses have become a must-have for party officials, bureaucrats and businessmen State-run banks and agencies have lost billions of dollars to embezzlement and fraud, many at the hands of officials seeking money to support their golden canaries. In a government review of 102 corruption cases in several Guangdong province cities a few years ago, every one involved an illicit affair.

S.Korean stem cell scientist apologizes on ethics By Jon Herskovitz and Lee Jin-joo SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's pioneering stem cell scientist apologized on Thursday that two members of his team had donated their egg cells for research, saying his rush to advance science may have clouded his ethical judgment. Hwang Woo-suk, who became a hero in South Korea after major developments in cloning research, has been caught in a swirl of allegations over his work after a U.S. collaborator left the group, saying Hwang unethically procured human eggs.
Polluted river water heads toward Chinese city By Chris Buckley HARBIN, China (Reuters) - A toxic slick of polluted river water reached the outskirts of one of China's biggest cities on Thursday after an explosion at a petrochemical plant upstream nearly two weeks ago. China said the blast had caused major pollution, spilling benzene compounds into the Songhua River from which Harbin, capital of the northeastern province of Heilongjiang and home to nine million people, draws its drinking water. Local officials warned residents on Thursday to be on the lookout for symptoms of benzene poisoning, which in heavy doses can cause anemia and other blood disorders, as well as kidney and liver damage.
September 7, 2005 Why Japan Seems Content to Be Run by One Party By NORIMITSU ONISHI より抜粋
With no history of power alternation, the mass media tend to stick to the Liberal Democratic Party's line. In this election, the press has ignored issues like Mr. Koizumi's policy toward Asian countries or his deployment of troops to Iraq that would likely hurt the party at the ballot box. (The opposition Democratic Party has said it would withdraw Japanese troops from Iraq and repair relations with its Asian neighbors.)
Since April 2004, no major Japanese news organization has sent a journalist to cover the Japanese troops in Samawa, in southern Iraq. ↑ きっと、大西哲光はタイムズにサマワ現地取材を願い出ているはずだ、 みんなで応援しよう!
1. China is "minority" in asia? ok........ i guess 1.3B ppl doesnt really count when the world has 6B 2. Gee... I wonder WHY Chinese and Koreans hate Japanese soooo much. its like their history textbook FABRICATED all that WWII stuff...............
We count "ONE" for each member of Asian League. If you insist No of Population, then that's fine, but at the same time, Red China must pay financial contribution to the UN as per the share of population of Asia/World. It's up to you. Can you afford to do ????
As a Japanese citizen currently residing in California, I was deeply shocked by the racist views presented by the Japanese comic books described in "Ugly Images of Asian Rivals Become Best Sellers in Japan" (front page, Nov. 19).
They are embarrassing. They are backward. And they are morally wrong.
In addition to Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's repeated visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, it seems that Japanese nationalists are gaining a stronger presence in society these days. Even though the majority of Japanese people know that an imperialistic view toward the rest of Asia is wrong, I suspect that most are either too busy or too apathetic to speak out.
However, I think it is very important for Japanese people to say that what is inaccurate is inaccurate, and what is wrong is wrong.

The biggest threat to US peace does not come from the middle east. The biggest threat comes from China. China enjoys it's rewards with the US's Favored Nation Trade Status. This means simply that trade and commerce between the US and China is an open door. Billions of dollars pour into China's reserves through the US's gluttony of cheap Chinese made sundries of the types sold in stores such as Wal-Mart, Kmart and the like. Regardless of US consumer spending habits, the fact is the fact: China is making most of it's money from the US because if it's trade status. To learn more regarding China's trade status, read here. I'll continue.

By Mark Magnier, Times Staff Writer The release of millions of gallons of toxic liquid into a major city's water supply, China's biggest environmental accident in years, is shaping up as a wake-up call for a society that has made huge sacrifices for economic development. On Thursday, the government defended its handling of the mid-November factory explosion that dumped 100 tons of benzene and other chemicals into northeastern China's Songhua River. The government alerted the public only after huge numbers of dead fish began to surface, 10 days after the Nov. 13 explosion. At one point, the river's nitrobenzene content was 103.6 times higher than normal. Virtually all Chinese rivers are polluted, to varying degrees.
Environmentalists warn that many of the problems caused by the accident could take years to show up, including birth defects and other long-term damage to people, plants and animals.
There’s a section of the Japanese right wing which has been noisily complaining for many years about the high crime rate among foreigners. If you take visa violations out of the equation, it has been shown that foreign residents in Japan in fact have a far lower propensity to crime than the indignenous population. Bear in mind also that the only terrorist crimes committed on Japanese soil were carried out by Japanese citizens.
>日本在住の外国人教師から批判の投書が寄せられるなど >読者の大きな反響を呼び、「日本型教育」をめぐる論争となっている。 http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/25/opinion/l25japan.html Are Japan' s Schools Really Better? (7 Letters) I was shocked to read Brent Staples's glowing review of Japan's educational system. I have been teaching English at a private girls' high school in Japan for the last year and have witnessed none of the zeal for improving "student understanding" that Mr. Staples so enthusiastically supports. Students' understanding is relevant only insofar as it increases their chances of passing university entrance exams. Classes consist of lectures, not discussions, and students are taught to memorize, not analyze. Japanese students may perform better than American students on standardized tests, but they lack critical thinking skills. Mr. Staples also cites several countries, Japan among them, that have ministries of education responsible for "educational quality control."
氏ね!→But "quality control" for Japan's ministry means promoting the use of history textbooks that whitewash or omit information about Japan's brutality against its Asian neighbors in the first half of the 20th century. Is this the kind of "quality" we want in our educational system?
Homogeneity breeds racism The Japanese import thousands of native English speakers a year (more than 6,000 through the JET Program alone), yet their attitude toward foreigners remains unchanged: "You are here by our good graces. Do not forget that you are not one of us." At the same time, the Japanese pride themselves on their "internationalism," as if installing gaijin in classrooms to act as human tape players or instructing students in the minutiae of English grammar for the purpose of passing entrance exams has imbued them with a sudden awareness and respect for foreign cultures. But if they cannot respect me on an individual level, how can they possibly ever respect my culture?

Ellen Rubinstein The other favorite excuse for employing incorrect grammar was because "this is what we teach in Japan." How is that even remotely legitimate? Just because the Japanese teach it a certain way doesn't make that way right! It was truly embarrassing to watch the Japanese English teachers sit there and struggle with English grammar, since these people are supposed to be "experts." It amazes me that the teachers themselves aren't humiliated by their poor command of the language. But I suppose being an "English major" at a Japanese university gives them enough credibility to teach English grammar right out of a textbook-- and they're fanatics about those textbooks. Whenever I disagree with Naoko about grammar, she gets all defensive and says, "Well, the textbook says..." She just can't grasp the concept that her gospel of English grammar may be wrong.

Saturday, November 26, 2005 at 07:27 JST NARITA ・Japan Airline and All Nippon Airways airplanes bound for China's Xiamen were not permitted to land at an airport in the Chinese city because of military exercises, Japanese transport ministry said Friday.
JAL Flight 607, with 179 passengers onboard, was forced to return to Narita airport, about six hours after its departure from there, JAL officials said.
Meanwhile, ANA Flight 957, carrying 162 passengers and crew members, left Kansai International Airport in Osaka at about 10:30 a.m. but was informed by Chinese authorities that the plane would not be permitted to land.
The plane then landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, but was later allowed to land in Xiamen. The plane arrived there four hours later than scheduled, ministry officials said.
When runway use is limited, the authorities usually inform airline companies concerned beforehand, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said JAL had received no advance notice from China.
Such incidents happen several times a year, according to JAL officials. The passengers on the JAL flight will head to Xiamen on Saturday, they said.
The JAL officials said China has indicated it will not shoulder costs involved in the schedule change.
Hitoshi Takahashi, a passenger who was aboard the JAL plane said, "I thought that China did not tell about that military exercises were being held because of the strained Japan-China relationship."

Was cloning pioneer right to resign? Was Professor Hwang Woo-suk right to resign for using human eggs from his own researchers? Dr Hwang, a South Korean cloning pioneer, apologised for breaking international medical standards that warn against using eggs from researchers who may be vulnerable to pressure. However, the health ministry in Seoul insists that he is was not in violation of ethics guidelines, as the eggs were given voluntarily, without Dr Hwang’s knowledge, and before South Korea introduced a bioethics law in January. What effect will his resignation have on the field of cloning? Should he be allowed to continue his work? Is Dr Hwang guilty of any moral wrongdoing?

Although China hasn't been involved in a lot of wars recently (infact non at all for more than a quarter of a century), WWII and Japs and Korea really showed our desire to defend what we believe in. 85 million dead from 1938-1949. We fought Japs literally to the last man standing even under the distinct technological inferiority and again with Americans.
Korean nabbed for shooting maid to death Manila Police District (MPD) operatives have arrested a Korean national suspected of shooting to death a maid of a Korean businesswoman in a condominium in Ermita, Manila.
The suspect identified as Kwang Hyun Cho, 30, alias "Daniel" was nabbed by MPD elements at about 12 noon Friday inside the departure area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), shortly after complainant Jin En Hi sought the help of the police.
Asian Opinion Polls On Japan In a followup to this post on Japanese and Korean views of each other, I now present you five screen captures from theJapanese television program “Mezamashi Doyoubi” (Wakeup Saturday), via a Japanese web site.

As always, the usual caveats about opinion polls apply, but this is nonetheless quite an inside look at how the following five countries percieve Japan.
