North Korea shuts off all electricity at 9pm everynight.

As the world grapples with how to rein in the "axis of evil" state which this week conducted a nuclear test, this spectacular satellite photo unveiled yesterday by US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld shows in stark detail the haves and have-nots of the Korean peninsula.

The regime in the north is so short of electricity that the whole country is switched off at 9 p.m. - apart from the capital of Pyongyang where dictator Kim Jong-il and his cohorts live in relative luxury. But even there, lighting is drastically reduced.

The result, as shown in this picture taken one night earlier this week, is a startling contrast between the blacked-out north and the south, which is ablaze with light, particularly around major cities and the capital, Seoul, in the north-west of the country.

Mr Rumsfeld showed the picture to illustrate how backward the northern regime really is - and how oppressed its people are. Without electricity there can be none of the appliances that make life easy and that we take for granted, he said.

"Except for my wife and family, that is my favourite photo," said Mr Rumsfeld.

"It says it all. There's the south, the same people as the north, the same resources north and south, and the big difference is in the south it's a free political system and a free economic system.

"The people in the north are starving, their growth is stunted. It's a shame, a tragedy."

An aide added: "This oppressive regime is too busy trying to make war to make life comfortable for its people."

Was this by accident?

Below is from the Sun-Sentinel, you can read what some of Kevin's friends and co-workers had to say about Kevin, reading those comments it's obvious that Kevin was loved by many and went out of his way to help others.

My sincere condolences to all the Family for the loss of such a good person. I worked with Kevin, but I only had the opportunity to be close to him a month ago. We spent 2 hours together. We loughed and shared, it was unbelievable how much life, happiness, and how he would care about others. He thought me a lot in such a short time!
I had just found him, but now he's gone.
He was part of our family too, and we will be missing him.

Kevin,
I will miss you with all my heart. Our friendship goes back more than 15 years. You were a wonderful friend to me and my entire family. My mom, dad and my grandparents adored you. Our friendship was so real and you were there for every event of my life. My first car, 1st house, my wedding, the birth of my children and many more. I am so blessed that you were apart of it all. I know I'll see you in Heaven one day. I'll be thinking of you untill then.
Remember me when I get there.
Love,
Dana

Interview in the Sun-Sentinel on Steve's Christian life.

The Sun-Sentinel interviewed Steve on his acceptance of Christ and how it transformed his life; you can read the interview below or click this link. The interview was set to run a week earlier than it did, I think someone at the Sun-Sentinel decided to run Steve's interview on the weekend of Yom Kippur,thinking he needed to on the Day of Atonement reflect on accepting Christ.


Faith helps radio host adopt a kinder, gentler voice.


-- James D. Davis

September 30, 2006

Title: Host of The Steve Kane Show, a call-in talk show from 6 to 9 a.m. weekdays on WWNN, AM 1470. The show reruns midnight-3 a.m. and 3-6 a.m. on WWNN and WSBR, AM 740.

Other job experience: Former teacher of theater at Rollins College, Winter Park.

Attends: Calvary Chapel of Fort Lauderdale.

Education: Degree in theater arts at Rollins College, Winter Park; master's degree in film at New York University.

Personal: Age 67. Born in New York City. South Florida resident since 1983.

Family: Married to Lori, a potter and administrator at Lori K Productions, their radio production company. Children (all adopted): Alexander, 10; Tyler, 10; Jennifer, 14; Courtney, 16; Sara, 28; Adriane, 30; Rachael, 32. Three grandchildren.

Q. How come you wanted to adopt so many kids?

A. I love raising kids. I'm only stopping now because my wife has more sense than I do. And it's very tied to my faith. I once thought I was to have a national Christian-oriented radio talk show. But I became aware that I was to teach my kids the kind of faith I wasn't raised with: a personal relationship with God, that God is around you and in you.

Q. Does your faith affect the way you do your talk show?

A. Oh, tremendously. I went through a very tough transition. The show has largely been about me and who I am: what I've thought, what I've done. Most hosts don't want to expose themselves like that. I've kept it a secular show, but because my faith is a big part of who I am, it comes up all the time. It's a very delicate balance.

Q. Some have said Steve Kane has become a bit too nice as a Christian, that the show lacks the acid bite it once had. What do you think?

A. There's no question that my experience with Christ has mellowed me a lot. I used to have an explosive anger problem, both in life and on the air. I'm not as nasty or acerbic as I used to be. But I'd like to think I'm more insightful.

Q. How did you become a Christian?

A. I was an atheist until about six years ago. I had a very dominating father. I spent most of my life in therapy. I reached a point where I was really in control, with a perfect family and perfect job and everything I wanted. And I was still lost and empty and anxiety-ridden.

One day, on the way to work, I heard a voice within me, saying he was there for me. I knew it was Christ. I looked for a place to try church. I talked to people and went to Calvary Chapel. As soon as I was there, I connected to it strongly.

Q. What's religion for, in 25 words or less?

A. I'm not a believer in religion. I'm a believer in faith. To me, God is very personal. People are so caught up the concept of religion that they don't think of it as a relation, as thanking the voice inside you.

Q. Favorite part of your work?

A. Getting an articulate and rational liberal caller. Then I can go back and forth with him on the air. But it's a problem getting good liberal callers in this market.

Q. Hardest part?

A. I can tell you the least favorite part: Getting up at 4 in the morning.

Q. What do you do to relax?

A. I'm a big movie buff, and I turned my kids into movie buffs.

Q. Favorite film(s)?

A. The most important film for me was The Passion of the Christ. It overwhelmed me emotionally. For me, reading about Jesus' sacrifice has only so much impact. But seeing it showed how much I meant to him. He went through that for me.

Q. Favorite TV shows?

A. My favorite is 24. It's well-written, the characters are terrific, and the energy never lets up.

Q. What does your faith say about other faiths?

A. The bottom line, although I don't push it, is John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father except through me." I have a sense that my faith requires me to be pushy about it, but I'm not pushy at all. I'm very accepting of other people. Which is strange, because I'm a pushy guy.

Q. Have you ever doubted your faith?

A. No, but I'm new at it. It's only been six years.

Q. Motto, or favorite Scripture verse?

A. Romans 8:28: "All things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose." That is a life verse for me.
