iCancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center, Vol. 14, No. 1. (January 2007), pp. 78-85./ibr /br /BACKGROUND: While previous studies demonstrated contrasting patterns of cancer risk among migrant populations from different ethnic groups in the United States, few studies have focused on the Korean-American population. This study compares cancer incidence rates between Korean-Americans, whites, and blacks in the United States and native Koreans. METHODS: Data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and International Association for Research on Cancer were used to calculate age-standardized incidence rates among whites, blacks, and Korean Americans in the United States and native Koreans. RESULTS: The risk of stomach, liver, gallbladder, larynx, and esophageal cancer has sharply declined in Korean-American men compared with their native counterparts while prostate, colon, and rectum cancer risk has increased. In women, stomach, liver, gallbladder, and cervical cancers have declined, and breast, lung, colon, rectum, and endometrial cancers have increased. Cancer rates for stomach, liver, gallbladder, and esophagus are higher in native Koreans compared to US whites. Recently, cancer rates for Korean-American immigrants have increased for prostate, breast, colon, and rectal cancers. CONCLUSIONS: The study provides evidence that the risk of cancers common in Western countries is higher for Korean Americans than for their native counterparts. Recent trends among Korean Americans also revealed a stronger Western profile.br /iJ Lee, K Demissie, SE Lu, GG Rhoads/i

A new Hong Gil Dong [EN] emerged on the Internet of Korea! A netizen who is just known as “Minerva” started writing his economic analysis in Agora—a Netizens’ panel— in a major portal site, Daum from 2007. He predicted the collapse of Leman Brothers, sudden jump in the foreign exchange rate, and fluctuations of real estate business. His syndrome is explosive and he is more popular and trusted than the government. The government reacts sensitively to the unknown netizen and tries to find who he is under the pretext of having conversations with him.

He became an Internet Legend.

Who is Minerva? It is a question by not just the government, but the netizens.

Minerva is a famous netizen who writes in Agora, Daum. He predicted collapse of Leman Brothers, sudden rise of the foreign exchange rate, and processes of Korean economic changes. The Ministry of Strategy and Finance recognized his influence and announced that they will explain governmental policies and provide information to him. The government says that they look for ways to have communication with him. [...] Minerva calls himself ‘an old man to sell sweet potatoes’ and is reluctant to expose his identity. Nobody knows about his job and career. Checking with a portal site, the intelligence found out that he is in his early 50s, has worked in a stock company, and has lived abroad. Regarding this investigation, there are denunciations. After that, Minerva left the last writing, “The government ordered the silence and therefore I will stop writing. Predicting economy is illegal to their perspective... Now I recognize how deceptive life I have had with patriotism nicely designed with ‘mother land’ and ‘united group’.”

Minerva’s prediction and sensitive reactions of the government seem to bring more attention.

[...]Minerva predicted that the American sub-prime crisis in July would affect Korea. I didn’t expect that part, though. Including Minerva, there are many cyber analysts who write about economic crisis and they write criticisms of government policies. I heard that many government officers as well as the Minister, Kang Man Soo, are worried about this symptom.

Despite the government pressure, his popularity is ballooning and his writing circulates everywhere. People who even didn’t know about him search for him after the government reaction.

Where can I see Minerva’s writings? I can’t find them in Agora. Please help me. It will be better if I can get all of them.

Netizens exchange their information and even made a web-café that collected all his writing. Some of them made his writing as an internet book.

Don’t lean on the government in such an economic crisis. This is the place to collect all beautiful compositions of Minerva. I recommend you to read at least 10 minutes.

Netizens explain why his writing appeals to many people.

This is the collection of the writing of ‘Minerva’ who is making a ‘syndrome’ in society as well as in political world. How much you will trust his writing is depending on your perspectives. Anyway, this symptom shows that how much our society is excluded and has hard time to have soft communication. It is because we basically exclude different opinions. Now overcoming this prejudice, we should think about why Minerva’s opinions bring syndrome and why people distrust what the government says, but pay attention to what a netizen says. Even to me who doesn’t know anything about economic terms, his writing looks more logical than the government which only emphasizes ‘belief’ and ‘assurance.’ After checking his writing, you would understand what I mean.

Netizens criticize how the government responds to this syndrome.

The Christmas season is upon us, and it’s time to whip up your gift lists. Why not put a little robot love on there? Here’s some great suggestions for robotic gifts. We’ve featured 10 great products that will make excellent gift ideas for your robot loving friend or relative.

LEGO Mindstorms NXT

I wonder if LEGO fully understood what they were getting into when they first released their “Robotics Invention System”, or “RIS” in 1998? Now, two revisions later we have the LEGO Mindstorms NXT system, which is about as perfect of a product as you can imagine. Involving a tight-knit team of LEGO and robotics enthusiasts, LEGO developed NXT from the ground up and surprised the public with their new system in 2006. The NXT system supports over 40 different programming languages, and supports a wide range of additional sensors created by 3rd parties. The kit comes with 3 motors (with feedback), 4 different sensors, and 571 pieces. You can check out some of the fabulous NXT creations over at The NXT Step Blog.

Mindstorms NXT retails for $250 USD.

Buy LEGO Mindstorms NXT from Amazon or Trossen Robotics.

Wall-E RC Toy and DVD

+

Pixar is known for creating beautiful, heartwarming, and sophisticated animated films that appeal to both children and adults. Their latest masterpiece is the story of Wall-E, a trash robot stranded and alone on Earth.

One of the more interesting product tie-ins is the U Command Wall-E “interactive robot” which uses an IR remote for control and can be programming with hundreds of different actions and combinations. This may be ripe for hardware hacking and is extremely cute, to boot.

Of course, if you’re looking for something a little less costly, the 3 disk Special Edition of Wall-E on DVD would make an excellent gift for your robot loving friends.
