...footage. Do says a contact in China had smuggled the video out of the North; defectors from the area have said that the factory and other buildings shown in the footage are in Hoiryong, a small town near the border with China. The filmmakers, who call themselves the Youth Freedom League, have cells in other North Korean cities, including Pyongyang, says Do, and they want the world to pay attention: "They have put their lives at stake to tell the outside world about the prison-like conditions inside North Korea...
...Commission last week vowed that the battle of the bulge will be a high priority over the next five years. Target No. 1: junk food ads. Health and Consumer Protection Commissioner Markos Kyprianou warned that unless the food industry backs off from marketing sugary, salty, fat-saturated products to youth, Brussels could introduce legislation restricting ads during children's TV programs.

Contrary to the elitist posturing of many “real hip-hop heads,” the first rap songs were not about the problems of ghetto life, but instead were composed of nonsensical rhyming about fun and love...
...society will have to change to make room for it. One response to this very new phenomenon is extremely old-fashioned: medieval-style apprenticeship programs that give high school graduates a cheaper and more practical alternative to college. In 1996 Jack Smith, then CEO of General Motors, started Automotive Youth Educational Systems (AYES), a program that puts high school kids in shops alongside seasoned car mechanics. More than 7,800 students have tried it, and 98% of them have ended up working at the business where they apprenticed. "I knew this was my best way to get into a dealership...
