Ray - ------------------------------------------------------------ Korean War 50th Anniversary Conference June 22, Washington, DC Georgetown University, Washington, DC Organized by Korea University, Georgetown University, The Korea Society with major support from International Foundation for Korea University (IFKU) and U.S. News & World Report ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The overall objective of this conference is to assess the long-term significance and lasting consequences of the Korean War for all concerned parties from the vantage point afforded by the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of its outbreak in 1950. Issues related to the background and origins of the war will be highlighted as well, but primarily from the perspective of how they relate to subsequent developments beginning from the immediate aftermath of the war and continuing right up to the present. The tragedies of the Korean War such as the No Gun Ri incident also will be an important topic of discussion, but primarily from the perspective of their significance in the development of U.S.-Korea relations during the ensuing decades and their continuing impact in the contemporary context. In short, the objective is to focus attention primarily on the whole spectrum of the relationships that have evolved as a consequence of the Korean War between Korea and the United States as well as the Northeast Asian region as a whole, rather than to re-visit in depth the various factors leading up to the war or any particular events of the war itself. The guiding assumption in presenting this conference is that the modern political, strategic, economic and cultural relationships of the Korean people with the U.S. and the other countries of Northeast Asia can only be fully appreciated if viewed through the prism of the Korean War in all of its multifaceted dimensions. The lingering impact of the war, in both direct and indirect ways, permeates and informs both the substance and texture of these relationships. As a basis for the final resolution of the impasse created by the lingering structure of the Cold War on the Korean peninsula, every aspect of these relationships needs to be re-examined from an objective point of view that takes into account past shortcomings as well as future possibilities. The conference will be open to the public and conducted with a minimum of the customary academic formalities. In adopting this format, we hope that the conference will be a tangible expression of the commitment to foster on-going, honest dialogue among all those who have a stake in fostering a better understanding of the Korean War, principally Koreans and Americans, but also representatives of the other participants in the war who have a continuing vital interest in the future of the Korean peninsula.

Note: I recall when I was in graduate school in Chicago (1980's). I had to visit the Cook County Coroner's office on a Saturday morning. This is where you get all the Friday night murder victims (and other) accident victims in. The sobering reality is how easily the pathologists were able to take apart the human body in minutes. A small tiny blade cutting into the flesh, then pulling out the body organs. I believe I was the only individual in my class left after they started using a circular saw on the head to pull out the brains. What does this have to do with martial arts ? The video below was a reminder to me of what can happen to any individual so quickly and unexpectedly. In moments your life is over with just a simple flick of a blade. This is partially why I have an irreverent sense of humor. Seeing death and dying makes you appreciate life more. Anyway, the review follows: Ken McD... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

The name means "18 weapons", and I've also recently seen it (in my searches) referred to as "Korean Kung Fu." I'd like to know more. I'd be grateful for any information people would like to share on the subject.
