Bloody bascketball..
I played basketball in the evening. While I doing that, I crashed with one of the opposite team players. He slamed his head to my chin. It was so hurt. And then, his head was bleeding. I was all right. He stopped playing, and went to the hospital right away. I was so sorry. It has been a while since I last saw somebody bleeding.

Bangladesh monsoons claim over 100
A torrent of mudslides, flooding, and lightning in southeastern Bangladesh has raised the death toll to 107 yesterday, including 11 killed by lightning strikes. About 22 centimeters of rain fell in just three hours early Monday. The worst-hit area was a jam-packed shantytown in the city of Chittagong, where large chunks of hill collapsed and buried dozens of bamboo and straw shacks. One man was bereaved of five family members, including his wife and two sons. Hundreds of people in vulnerable areas were relocated to shelters in concrete school buildings, according to rescue officials. Government and charity agencies gave out food and water to about 1,000 people that had no homes after the catastrophe. Emergency workers rescued more than 50 injured people from the rubble.

England’s testing policies under fire from influential organization
In a report submitted last week, England’s General Teaching Council said that English and schoolchildren are among the most tested in the world, facing an average of 70 major exams before the age of 16. In its scathing attack on the testing system, the council claimed that over-testing is poisoning attitudes towards education, and forcing teachers to drill students in rote memorization rather than provide a broad education.Keith Bartley, chief executive of the council, said that the exams are “missing the point,” by only testing a limited range of knowledge and skills. He added that there was no point in having a day each year when England’s “eleven-year olds were in a state of panic.” Psychiatrists visiting some schools have reported children as young as six suffering from anxiety.

Russia may have a role in North Korean funds transfer
A new plan to release North Korean assets frozen in a Macau bank account may involve the help of Russia. It is hoped that this latest solution will put an end to the financial predicament, which has been a thorn in the side of denuclearization talks with North Korea. An unidentified U.S. bank may be used to transfer the funds to a North Korean account in an unidentified Russian bank. Although there is a ban on American banks handling North Korean assets, the bank involved will be guaranteed exemption for the transaction. Despite intense effort, little progress had been made in the situation involving the frozen funds, which amount to $25 million U.S. Chief American nuclear negotiator Christopher Hill has emphasized the need to settle the issue and re-focus on the six-party talks.

The Beginning of Personalized DNA Maps
For the first time, all 6 billion letters of one human’s DNA has been mapped out and condensed to one single disk. It took 2 months to map James. D. Watson’s entire genome, at the cost of $1 million dollars. In honor of his involvement in cracking the DNA code half a century ago, Watson was chosen for the honor but many suspect it’s the start of a new era. DNA contains inherited instructions for genes, controlling everything from eye color, to a person’s predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, but a person’s genome changes on almost a daily basis. In the near future, personalized DNA sequencing is predicted to be available for as little as $1,000 and many speculate it will become a big part in maintaining one’s health.

Putin speculates on missile targeting
Comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding aiming missiles at Europe were condemned as "unhelpful and unwelcome" by a NATO official. Putin’s remarks came in response to a reporter’s question about US plans to build a missile shield in Eastern Europe. Many nations in Western Europe that were former enemies of Russia during the Cold War have been worried by the prospect of Russian missiles being aimed at them. Putin’s spokesman says that the President was only speaking hypothetically, and that the measure would be a security response to the US.The US claims that the planned shield is intended to intercept missiles from countries such as Iran and North Korea. Russia argues that those countries pose no threat, and that the shield would neutralize Russia’s nuclear arsenal.

Chinese market takes a plunge
Chinese stocks nosedived Monday by 8.3 percent- their second biggest fall this decade. $340 billion in market value was erased after the Chinese government jacked up the share trading tax, prompting many investors to sell. The move came as an apparent action to cool the Chinese market after its strong bull run. Chinese newspapers and analysts are assuring investors the market still has a positive medium and long-term outlook. Many fund managers and analysts in Asia have said that the Chinese market has much more room to fall, as it had already risen 62% this year. They also believe the government would not allow a prolonged drop that could cause social unrest or threaten economic expansion.

Violent confrontations erupt in G-8 protests
146 German police officers were injured- 18 seriously- in a G-8 demonstration involving an estimated 30,000 protesters. Although most participants in the officially-permitted march were peaceful, about 2,000 were violent, using chunks of paving stones to attack riot control police. Water canons and tear gas were used to keep the crowds on a leash. Although many of the protesters were not aggressive, some taunted the 13,000-member police force. 17 protesters were arrested, according to police officials.Global warming, AIDS and poverty in Africa, and the world economy are on the agenda for G-8 nation leaders in the 3-day summit, which is to begin on Wednesday. A seven-mile fence has been built around the summit site, and a protest ban is in effect in the area.

Site east of Dongtan selected for new satellite town
A new satellite town has been designated east of Dongtan in Kyeonggi Province, and will house approximately 260,000 people in 105,000 residences. It is expected that the households will be ready for moving in from September 2012. The new town is being built to make up for the lack of affordable real estate in Gangnam, as well as in the burgeoning satellite city Bundang. However, with the commute from Dongtan to Gangnam estimated at about 40 minutes, it is uncertain whether the new town will meet prospective citizens’ needs.The designated price per pyeong is 8 million won, which is 30% lower than nearby areas’ average costs. It has also been said that private development will be banned by the government in the area, in order to curb rapid price surges.

Pressure increasing for World Bank head to resign
A special seven-member committee of the World Bank has concluded that the World Bank’s president, Paul D. Wolfowitz, has indeed crossed the line in arranging a job and pay increases for a female companion. The report was not made public, in a move made seemingly in order to force a speedy resignation and avoid further public action. A senior official of the boards stated that Wolfowitz has only been given a day or two to respond. Wolfowitz has denied any conflict-of-interest charges, and has vowed not to quit, stating that he acted in line with the bank’s ethics rules. He is currently two years into his five-year term at the position.

The web-slinging superhero easily surpassed the previous record for a three-day weekend opening, held by last year’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. The film also set a record for opening day gross, taking in $59 million on its premiere last Friday.Spiderman 3 was the most expensive to make of the franchise, which is based on the classic comic book. Marketing spin-offs and promotions from the movie are expected to greatly increase revenues as well.

A special seven-member committee of the World Bank has concluded that the World Bank’s president, Paul D. Wolfowitz, has indeed crossed the line in arranging a job and pay increases for a female companion. The report was not made public, in a move made seemingly in order to force a speedy resignation and avoid further public action. A senior official of the boards stated that Wolfowitz has only been given a day or two to respond. Wolfowitz has denied any conflict-of-interest charges, and has vowed not to quit, stating that he acted in line with the bank’s ethics rules. He is currently two years into his five-year term at the position.

Hot, but enjoy..
It was so hot today, so I tried to go to library in the morning, but I gave up. So I have been home all day long today. Naturally, I came to have much time to play with a computer. I watched movie, "IF Only" through a computer. It was so touching, so moving. And I memorized a pop song "Littlest things" by Lily Allen which came out from Ju-yeon's cyworld as a BGM. I enjoyed a cultural life today..^0^

Aircraft disaster in Cameroon
A Kenyan Airways flight originating on the Ivory Coast crashed in Cameroon shortly after midnight on Sunday has not yet been located. Rescue teams are scouring remote rainforest near the small town of Lolodorf in southern Cameroon for wreckage and any signs of survivors. The aircraft had stopped in the coastal city Douara in Cameroon to pick up more passengers and lost contact with air traffic controllers shortly after takeoff. The flight was bound for Nairobi when it sent out a distress signal.Search efforts to find the jet have been hampered by fog, rain and the thick jungle in the surrounding area. Furthermore, the plane's emergency transponder has been silent. 114 people from 25 different countries were on board.

Mayweather victorious over De La Hoya in split decision
In a bout that was hyped as a fight to save boxing, the 2 to 1 favorite Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated underdog Oscar De La Hoya in a split decision. The sellout crowd witnessed both fighters going full tilt from the opening bell for a full 12 rounds, with neither fighter going down. While De La Hoya had thrown more punches and was more aggressive, Mayweather won the fight with his superior defence and lightning speed. Mayweather has remained undefeated in 38 fights, and earned at least $10 million. De La Hoya made $25 million from the match, which was boxing's richest fight ever for profits.
- in split decision 만장일치가 아닌
- the sellout crowd : 표가 만석인/매진된 상태 의 객석/군중
- hyped : 과대선전으로 늘리다, 속이다, 사기hype up : to deliberately make them very excited about sth.over hyped : 너무 지나치다hype : 사기, 과대선전 (don't believe the hype ! )
- full tilt : 전속력으로, 힘껏 to move full tilt or at full tilt means to move with as much speed.full speed ahead, = pedal to the metal :
-When the accelerator is pushed so far it cant move any more
- in some cars it hits a metal bar, or the end of the footwell (which is hopefully made of metal).
- Obviously if you have the accelerator all the way fowards you're going to be gathering speed...or going fairly fast.

About Today..
Today was so boring. I think I have not talk to anyone today, just because I could not meet with someone that I know. I just went to the library in the morning, but I could not focus on studying for some reason. I just went back home and just killed time in the afternoon, but I got back to the library as soon as I felf that time was wasted. Back home again at around 9:30 in the evening. Did some web-surfing and gonna sleep a little later at 12..

It was a night full of enthusiasm..^0^
In the face of June, we drank alcohol. It was a pity that we just let May go, so we drank. It was so fun. We hanged around until 5 in the morning. After 3-hour shut-eye, I went to class at 9 in the morning. It was so tiring and I was half-asleep during class. After that, I right got back to my home and went into bed.uh...................

Tension rises on Turkish-Iraq Border
Turkey is considering a cross-border operation into northern Iraq despite strong opposition from US. Turkish military has already deployed more than 50.000 troops along the south-eastern border with Iraq. Ground forces are supported by F-16’s, Sikorsky helicopters and main battle tanks. Sources say this is the largest military build-up in nearly a decade. Turkey accuses the terrorist group PKK of using bases in northern Iraq to carry out attacks on Turkey. Security forces have already started operations within Turkish territory and killed 10 PKK terrorists. Pressure on the government for an incursion into Iraq mounted after a suicide bombing in Ankara and airspace violations by two US F16’s last week.

US tightened sanctions on Sudan
US exerts pressure on Sudan government through new and stricter sanctions over atrocities in Sudan’s western region of Darfur. The violence erupted after an ethnic minority rebellion in 2003 in Darfur. According to UN numbers 4 year clashes left 200.000 people dead and forced 2 million people from their homes. New sanctions bar another 31 companies including oil exporters from trade. Arab league, Egypt and China expressed their concerns over sanctions imposed on Sudan, stating that sanctions never lead to any solution and only Sudanese people suffer from them after all. On the other hand Britain and France welcomed the plan, hoping that it may help opening a corridor between neighboring Chad and Sudan in order to get humanitarian aid to Darfur.
