| VIPs Admire Divine Performing Arts in BrooklynWed, 07 Jan 2009 13:49:16 -0800 by NTDTVWONG: Our reporters caught up with a few VIPs who took in Divine Performing Arts Chinese New Year Splendor in Brooklyn over the weekend. Let's see what they have to say.STORY: Divine Performing Arts Brooklyn shows have left some audience members pondering the inner meaning of traditional Chinese culture.[Qiuyi Guo, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office]:"China has these important cultural traditions, so to be able to have this show that in just one or two hours allows Chinese people to better understand the deep meaning of their own Chinese culture... I think it's a really wonderful show that's definitely worth everyone coming to watch."[Milagros Ricourt, Sociology Professor]:The songs were so deep and so philosophical.For some who saw the show last year, the novelty was still there.[Francis Alessandro, Civil Court Judge]:"Its dynamite and spectacular.Others are taking away the idea that changing your mindset can better your health.[Hugh Maynard-Reid, Healthcare Professional]:They spoke about compassion, forbearance. These are qualities I think are valuable not only for healing, but also for general living.[Eric Adams, State Senator]:"And you can't expect compassion to come to you if you don't extend it to others."NTD, New York.

| Cambodias Killing Fields Remembered 30 Years LaterWed, 07 Jan 2009 13:20:43 -0800 by NTDTVThousands of Cambodians gathered in Phnom Penh on Wednesday to mark the fall of Pol Pots ultra-Maoist Khmer Rouge regime 30 years ago. Around two million are believed to have died during what has become known as the Killing Fields. Up to 80,000 people packed into the Olympic stadium in Phnom Penh for a rally organized by the ruling Cambodian People's Party, the descendant of the puppet government installed by Vietnam after its troops oustedChina-backed Pol Pot on Jan. 7, 1979.As much as Cambodians loathe the Khmer Rouge for their genocidal attempt to create an agrarian paradise, many of them also mourn January 7th as the start of a 10-year occupation by their hated Vietnamese neighbors.Some of the rally participants were too young to remember what life in Cambodia was like under the Khmer Rouge some were not yet born.[Vong Leakenatevy, University Student]:"I think that January 7 is my second birth. Although, I was not born during that regime I always heard about the suffering and killing from my parents. This is a special day for me and my parents. If we didn't have thisday, I would not be here."The remnants of Pol Pot's black-shirted guerrilla army fled into the jungle along the Thai border until their final surrender in 1998.But Pol Pots henchmen are only now being brought to justice in a joint Cambodian-United Nations tribunal.The court admitted this week that Cambodia's prosecutor was blocking a bid by the prosecutor's international counterpart to go after more than the five top cadres now in custody on charges of war crimes and crimes againsthumanity. Those in custody are Brother Number Two Nuon Chea, former President Khieu Samphan, former Foreign Minister Ieng Sary, his wife, Ieng Thirith, and Duch, head of Phnom Penh's Tuol Sleng, or the "S-21" interrogation and torture center.

We hid behind a rack of clothes. She crept along the rack in the opposite direction of the policeman with me behind her, but then the policeman caught sight of us and we had to start running again. I followed Stacy down the escalators, through the food court and through a fire exit door. We ended up in an alley way and I turned around to see Stacy pelting down it. I ran after her and skidded as she turned a corner. We went through another door and ended up on the opposite side of the car park*Nick: Okay how did that happen? *I panted as we sat down against the door*Stacy: I dont know but be glad it did. *she looked over at me and laughed* So how did the good boy find running away from the cops?Nick: I cant believe I'm about to say this ... it was exciting *I laughed with her and she leaned her head on my shoulder* So this is what you do all the time?Stacy: Not all the time. Nick: Right. So what now?Stacy: Ummm ... I dont know ...Nick: We could go to mine? *Was that the right thing to say? Would she just laugh at me for trying to come onto her or would she just -*Stacy: Okay. Lets go. *she stood up and held out a hand for me. I took it and stood up next to her. I didn't let go of her hand* Are you gonna let go of my hand?Nick: I wasn't planning on it but if -Stacy: Shut up Nick. *she intertwined our fingers and we walked down the street to my house. The whole way I had butterflies in my stomach. We got to my house and I looked through the front window then started pulling Stacy to the back gate* Something wrong?Nick: Yeah the family's in so we have to go up the tree to my room.Stacy: Ooh getting worse every second I see. I guess I'm a bad influence. *I opened the back gate and showed her the tree she had to climb* Is this it? I was imagining some huge thing! Ive climbed bigger than this!Nick: Well then lets go! *I went up first and stood on my balcony as I watched Stacy climb. I must admit, she knew what she was doing!* Wow you really have done this before!Stacy: I dont lie! *she laughed as I pulled her over the balcony. She lost her footing and I stumbled backwards and she fell on top of me* Oh shit sorry! Are you ok?Nick: Yeah ... I am now ... *I looked at her lips and wondered if I was supposed to kiss her. I know I've only known her for a couple of hours but I was drawn to her. She bit her lip and I felt my hand wrap around her waist. Did I do that? She smiled slightly and I took that as a yes. I put my other hand on her cheek and I noticed it was shaking slightly. Oh no ... I edged closer to her and she didnt pull back. Oh god I really have to do this now. I could feel her breath on my lips and I felt a shiver down my spine. Then someone knocked on the door* Crap ... who is it?!???: Joe, let me in yeah? Nick: Er hold on a sec! *to Stacy* Go hide under the bed!Stacy: Right ho Nick! *she smiled as she got off me and slid under my bed. I opened the door*Nick: What do you want?Joe: Why you here? Youre meant to be at school?!Nick: I felt sick. I came home.Joe: Right ... who were you just talking to?Nick: Err you?Joe: Very funny ... it sounded a girl ... *he walked over to my bed.
