1 News Focus Alzheimer's takes unbearable toll on families Tragic cases involving dementia patients family members are not uncommon these days. Dementia patients pose an unbearable burden on their families amid a lack of social support for them. Experts call for the overhaul of the whole system for the care of dementia patients. The support system for dementia patients has grown in size, but when you take a close look into it, it still has many problems in terms of content and quality, said Lee Jin-myung, a director of the Alzheimer s Association, a gathering of patients families. The number of the patients has grown 680 percent over the past seven years, according to data from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The number of dementia patients stood at 534,000 in 2012, up from 445,000 in This number is expected to top 1 million by 2024 given the growth trend over the past years. Dementia patients are evaluated for the severity of their illness, and only those given the top one of three grades can benefit from insurance. The insurance program is far from enough for the families of dementia patients. After finding conditions of nursing homes too poor, some families take their dementia-struck members home. Current laws require nursing homes to assign one caregiver for two and half patients. At a patient s home, at least one family member would be devoted to the patient. The suffering of caregivers is an important issue that Korea must tackle because it can cause family tragedies including suicide, murder, physical abuse and neglect, experts say. The U.S. isn t much different from Korea in terms of the burden upon families in nursing dementia patients. According to a 2013 report by the U.S. Alzheimer s Association, unpaid caregivers mostly family members and some relatives and friends accounted for 80 percent of care for dementia patients.

Another school drops Kyohak history book Cheongsong High School in North Gyeongsang Province has withdrawn its earlier decision to select Kyhak Publishing s Korean history textbook. Critics say the book contains content glorifying former authoritarian leaders and justifying Japan s colonization of Korea. This latest move follows the decision by some 20 other high schools nationwide to withdraw the controversial book. The head of Cheongsong High School s policy-setting committee Kang Jong-chang said, When the school initially decided to use Kyohak s text book, it didn t go through any discussion with the committee, so we requested the school to withdraw its decision. He said the committee members realized that the textbook has a conservative bias and contains many factual errors. Hanmin High School in Paju, Gyeonggi Province is so far the only school to stick to its choice of Kyohak s textbook. A school official said a final decision about whether to stand by their decision or not will be made in March. Meanwhile Seoul Digitech High School said it chose Kyohak s textbook together with another history textbook published by Liber School in order to teach a balanced historical view to students.

How Song Kang-ho ruled Korean cinema in 2013 Song Kang-ho s filmography almost overlaps with the list of the definitive works in Korean cinema in the past 20 years both in art-house fare and mass-market hits. While Song s status as the country s most influential cinematic actor, he went on and made 2013 his most commercially-successful year anyway. Critics say the secret to Song s success is simple: his acting is very, very good. "He has a realistic, understated delivery that is very powerful and convincing. He just disappears into his role. He can be a detective, an anonymous middle-class father, a face reader and lawyer. He is not your traditional, good-looking movie star, but he is what you really call an actor. His talent is prolonging his success because great directors such as Bong, Park and Kim Ji-woon are always eager to work with him.

KBS is starting another one, aiming to duplicate the resounding success of the 1996 Tears of Dragon that covered the same period. After two years of prepration, Jeong Do -jeon airs on 9:40 p.m. on weekends. It is the longest-running period piece from KBS this year with 60 episodes. The broadcaster is hoping to give criticisms against historical dramas that have come to rely too much on fiction rather than facts. We have been eager to produce this project for a long time, Jang Seong-hwan, a KBS executive said during a press conference in Seoul. These days, schools don t give due respect to history education and period dramas are more about fictionalized history. As a public broadcaster, we felt that we had a duty to create dramas that promote a proper awareness of history.

Sports / Health S. Korea to be represented for every luge event at Sochi Winter Olympics South Korea will be represented in every event in the luge competition at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia for the first time, the sport's national governing body said. An official with the Korea Luge Federation said the International Luge Federation (FIL) has informed the South Korean governing agency that the country has qualified for the men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and team relay events. South Korea has sent athletes in the men's singles event in each of the past four Winter Games, starting with Nagano in 1998, but this is the first time the country has secured Olympic spots in all events. Under the FIL's Olympic qualification rules, athletes must have earned enough world ranking points by Dec. 31, 2013, to qualify for Sochi. The FIL also reserved the right to reallocate unused quota positions to "next ranked qualified athletes" in each discipline, based on its review to ensure that the athletes' technical level and experience are "acceptable to FIL." 4

Electric blankets can cause burns Amid rising gas prices, electric blankets are favorite items for many to warm themselves through the winter night. However, sleeping on these can cause burn injury. According to Hallym University Medical Center, low-temperature burn injuries are common in winter, and can be more serious than one can imagine. According to the Hallym University Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, which treats most of the burn patients in the country, low-temperature burn patients increase sharply from mid November. The low-temperature burn is no less serious. According to the hospital, 80 percent of the patients sustain third-degree burn where both the outer and underlying layers of skin are damaged. As one is exposed to the heat longer though at lower temperature, the burn is deep though narrow in size. The burn is common on the hips or thighs, which are in contact with the electric blankets. The skin goes through necrosis and turns white. Usually, the victim doesn t feel particular pain though they have numbness, and often they don t even know that they sustained a burn. Hence, it is likely that a few days have already passed when they come to hospital, but 80 percent of them would need skin transplant. Prof. Hur Jun at the hospital thus advised immediately going to a burn clinic when they feel numbness or the skin has turned white. The doctor advised putting something a bedding or a blanket on the electric blanket, to avoid direct contact. Also, one should choose the product that can be trusted, such as those automatically turning off after some time, instead of simply choosing cheaper ones.

Culture / Science LG boss calls for 'sense of urgency' LG Chairman Koo Bon-moo visited an LG exhibition hall in hopes of spreading a sense of urgency to his executives and employees. The move came a few days after the chairman urged employees in his New Year s message to do everything they can to help the company out of its current slump. LG can lose competitiveness in key products at any moment amid challenging situations. We have no time to hesitate. You should be faster and think about what s next, Koo said. We have to escape from the mindset of suppliers. We have to make efforts to provide the best service in marketing and distribution, as well as the quality of our products, to fully satisfy customers, he added.

KT to review business projects in Africa KT plans to review its business projects in Africa as its new CEO Hwang Chang-gyu wants to focus on bolstering the firm s competitiveness in the domestic telecommunication business, said KT officials who are close to the matter. That suggests it is likely that Hwang, who will take office in March, will fold or scale down the company s business in Rwanda and other countries on the continent, depending on the outcome of the review. Under the leadership of outgoing Chairman Lee Suk-chae, KT signed an agreement in March 2013 to invest $140 million in the African country to build a fourth-generation (4G) mobile network that will serve 95 percent of the country s population. KT is now in talks with the Kenyan government to establish a joint venture to build a 4G LTE mobile broadband.

Business 'Big Brother' law upsets mobile users Mobile phone users are upset about a Big Brother law in the making, calling on carriers to act. SK Telecom, KT and LG Uplus were careful regarding the ruling Saenuri Party s effort to revise a law to allow the National Intelligence Service (NIS) to hack mobile phones. Our customers feel very sensitive as they don t want their private life to be placed under the watch of the government, a KT official said. So we are very cautious in making any comment about this. Customers, analysts, civic groups and the main opposition Democratic Party all balked at the idea that gives the NIS full access to all communications on mobile devices. As the government has an infamous track record of misusing monitoring laws in the mid 2000s they badly need to do pin-pointed tapping of criminal suspects or national security law violations, SK Securities analyst Lee Dong- 8

9 seop said by phone. Monitoring of mobile devices was allegedly stopped in 2005 when the NIS was found to have been involved in a series of illegal hacking of cellular phones, Jinbo Net, a progressive labor network, said on its webpage. On Jan. 3, Suh Sang-kee and 12 other Saenuri lawmakers submitted a revision to the relevant law that would oblige mobile carriers to allow NIS access to their facilities. It also legalizes the monitoring of all mobile conversations. Advanced countries such as the U.S. and Germany allowed court approved monitoring of mobile phones in the mid 1990s. Korea had a smart-phone penetration rate of 70 percent to 80 percent, compared to the U.S. s 50 percent as of June, according to NH Securities.

Drug makers eye overseas markets Korea s major pharmaceutical firms are turning their eyes to overseas markets in order to compensate for falling profits from domestic sales. Now we all know that we should seek to advance into overseas markets in order to make up for reduced profits due to drug price cuts, Lee gun-nyung, assistant manager at the investment relations team of Daewoong Pharmaceutical. 9

10 But it is very challenging to compete with global pharmaceutical firms. It is expected that pharmaceutical firms will see a huge drop in profits due to the government s schemes to reduce the price of drugs covered by medical insurance. In a recent survey on 30 pharmaceutical firms, 10 of them said they will see a drop in sales of between 10 billion and 20 billion won while five said they expected to see an over 20 billion won drop in sales due to the recent incentive system. The performance in overseas markets will be important for major local pharmaceutical firms to enhance their profitability, said Chung Bo-ra, an analyst at the securities firm. But market insiders said it would be difficult for most pharmaceutical firms here, which merely depend on the sales of generics, to advance into overseas markets, as they cannot compete with global pharmaceutical firms, which spend a huge amount of money on research and development for new drugs. Tapping into overseas markets would be an empty slogan for most pharmaceutical firms here, as they are too small to compete with pharmaceutical giants, said an official from a pharmaceutical firm.

In her statement, Terry Chung, Bae s sister, said there was nothing diplomatic about Rodman s trip. My family and I are outraged by Rodman s recent comments, said Chung. He is playing games with my brother s life. There is no diplomacy, only games, and at my brother s expense." Chung said she understands that Rodman wasn t going to advocate for her brother and that that s his choice. But she said, This isn t some game. Dennis Rodman can play all the publicity stunts he wants with his own self, but this isn t a game, said Chung.

12 Story Getting Close to Tornadoes Weather experts are able to predict bad weather better than ever before thanks to satellites, high-altitude balloons and radar stations. But for many years these experts have incorrectly predicted tornado formation, giving false warnings about 75 percent of the time. So, scientists are working to improve their tornado predictions. They are getting close to the large and dangerous wind storms to see how they form. They believe that, if they know what a tornado looks like as it forms, they will lower their false prediction rate. Scientist Joshua Wurman was the first to put Doppler radar equipment on a vehicle and drive it into the path of a tornado. I invented the Doppler on Wheels back in the 1990s because I was frustrated that we couldn t see enough detail inside tornados and hurricanes. We had blurry images of all these things, and in order to really understand the physics -- the math of what s going on inside a tornado, how exactly are they forming, how strong are the winds right at the surface -- we need to get up very, very, close. Scientists are learning more about which storms develop into tornados by studying them from start to end. Mr. Wurman says that radar information has taught them that a wind surge could be what causes a storm to turn into a tornado. The scientific process is that we need to now observe that and repeat that observation in maybe a dozen or more other thunderstorms, and in maybe a dozen or more thunderstorms that aren t making tornados, to really see if that surge causes tornados and if there is no surge, whether there is no tornado.
