SEOUL (Reuters) - An index measuring the South Korean manufacturers' assessment of business conditions for December fell from a 22-month high in November, central bank data showed on Wednesday, underlining the uneven nature of the economy's recovery.
The Bank of Korea's manufacturing business survey index for December fell to a seasonally adjusted 82 from 86 for November, the central bank's survey results showed. The November reading was the highest since January 2012.
A reading below 100 indicates that the number of companies expecting a deterioration in business conditions for the coming month outnumber those predicting improvement. The index has remained below 100 since February 2011.
The latest reading is still higher than an average of about 77 in the index seen for the past 12 months, indicating the manufacturing companies' sentiment was still on an improving trend as Asia's fourth-largest economy pulls out of a slump.
The trade-reliant economy expanded by a seasonally adjusted 1.1 percent in each of the past two quarters on a sequential basis, the fastest in two years, on growing signs that the worst may be over.
The top two concerns cited by the survey respondents were the still depressed domestic demand and uncertain global economic prospects, similar to the preceding monthly survey, the central bank said in a statement.
The Bank of Korea said it surveyed 1,470 manufacturers from 23 major industries across the country from November 13 to 20.

Child Abuse Reporting Guidelines
What is Child Abuse?
Reporting Child Abuse
Interpretation Services
Information and Training
As a UW-Madison employee (under Wisconsin Executive Order #54), you are required to immediately report child abuse or neglect to Child Protective Services (CPS) or law enforcement if, in the course of employment, the employee observes an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, or learns of an incident or threat of child abuse or neglect, and the employee has reasonable cause to believe that child abuse or neglect has occurred or will occur. Volunteers working for UW-Madison sponsored programs or activities are also expected to report suspected abuse or neglect.
Emergency Phone Number: 911
Non-Emergency Phone Numbers
University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Dept.
608-264-COPS or 608-264-2677
Madison Police Department
Dane County Child Protective Services
608-261-KIDS or 608-261-5437
Wisconsin Telecommunications Relay System (WTRS)
To connect to WTRS, dial 711 from any phone in Wisconsin or the appropriate WTRS toll-free number found here.
A UW-Madison employee who is a mandatory reporter under Wis. Stat. § 48.981(2)(a) shall comply with the requirements of the state mandatory reporter law.
Deciding to get involved in a situation of suspected abuse or neglect can be difficult. It is, however, a decision that may be crucial to a child not only today, but also in the future.
Caregivers/maltreaters who have abused or neglected their children may need services and support to provide safe care for their children. The sooner an issue is reported, the sooner the child can be helped.
No UW-Madison employee making a report of suspected child abuse or neglect to child protective services or law enforcement, in good faith, may be discharged from employment, disciplined or otherwise discriminated against in regard to employment, or threatened with any such treatment, for so doing.

Signs of physical abuse
Definition: Sexual intercourse or sexual touching of a child; recording or displaying of a child engaged in sexually explicit conduct; forcing a child to view or listen to sexual activity; exposing genitals or pubic area to a child or exposing a childs genitals or pubic area for purposes of sexual gratification; or permitting, allowing or encouraging a child to engage in prostitution.
Note: Sexual abuse does not include consensual sexual contact with anyone 16-17 years old.
Definition: It is child abuse to manufacture methamphetamines with a child present, or in a childs home or under any other circumstances in which a reasonable person should have known that the manufacture would be seen, heard, or smelled by a child.
Definition: "Emotional damage" for which the childs parent, guardian or legal custodian has neglected, refused or been unable, for reasons other than poverty, to obtain the necessary treatment or take steps to ameliorate the symptoms.
Definition: Harm to a childs psychological or intellectual functioning which is exhibited by severe anxiety, depression, withdrawal or aggression. Emotional damage may
be demonstrated by substantial and observable changes in behavior, emotional response or learning which are incompatible with the childs age or stage of development.
Definition: When a parent—or caretaker—fails, refuses or is unable, for reasons other than poverty, to provide the necessary care, food, clothing, medical or dental care, or shelter, which seriously endanger the physical health of the child.
Contact your county social/human services department, sheriff, local police department, or university police department immediatelyby telephone or in person.
If you need language interpretation services to ask questions about your duty to report, request training, or provide an additional campus report, please call the Office of Equity and Diversity at 608-263-2378. Language interpretation services are also available through the UW-Madison Police Dept., the Madison Police Dept., or Dane County Child Protective Services.
Explain, as well as you can, what happened or is happening to the child. Describe the nature of the abuse or neglect and the involved parties. Be as specific as possible. Be prepared to give the name, address, and telephone number of the child and also the name of the parent or caretaker if known. Even if you do not know all of this information, report what you do know. Tell all you know about the situation.
If the incident or threat of child abuse or neglect involves an allegation against a University employee or agent (e.g. student, volunteer, etc.) or the suspected child abuse or neglect occurred on the UW-Madison campus or during a UW-Madison sponsored activity—in addition to notifying Child Protective Services or law enforcement—the reporter should also notify one of the following entities:
The purpose of such notification is to alleviate an ongoing threat of harm to a child or children. Such reports shall be maintained in a secure location, and the confidentiality of the reporter shall be maintained to the extent permitted by law or University policy.
Child Protective Services and/or law enforcement will screen the case and determine whether abuse/neglect has occurred and determine what action to take.
If you have questions about your duty to report or to request group training, contact the UW-Madison Office for Equity and Diversity at 608-263-2378. (Language interpretation services are available.) Training is also available online.

The 20-year-old Camano Island man dubbed the "Barefoot Bandit" has pleaded guilty to federal charges in court Friday.
He will be sentenced on October 28 at 9 a.m. at the U.S. District Court in Seattle.
Harris-Moore pleaded guilty to bank burglary, two counts of interstate transportation of a stolen aircraft, interstate and foreign transportation of a stolen firearm, being a fugitive in possession of a firearm, piloting an aircraft without a valid airman's certificate and interstate transportation of a stolen vessel.
Harris-Moore's spree of sometimes-shoeless crimes spanned nine states, British Columbia and the Bahamas. His theft of boats and planes enabled him to elude authorities in multiple states for two years.
Harris-Moore, who grew up in the Puget Sound community of Camano Island, will face more charges for the multiple burglaries he is suspected of committing since escaping from a juvenile detention center in April 2008. He will appear in an Island County court sometime in July.
San Juan County prosecutor Randall Gaylord said that it is likely the state charges against Harris-Moore will be combined. Harris-Moore faces 32 charges of burglarly in San Juan county alone.
Last week, Colton Harris-Moore had pleaded not guilty but his attorney, John Henry Browne, had acknowledged at that time that a plea agreement was in the works.
Browne announced Thursday that Harris-Moore would enter a guilty plea in U.S. District Court at 11 a.m. Friday to unspecified charges as part of an overall plea agreement resolving the federal and state cases against him.
This was a sticking point in the plea negotiations, Browne said. The final agreement was complicated in part by the question of whether his client, a high school dropout and self-taught pilot, should be permitted to sell and profit from the rights to his life story.
A federal indictment stipulates that if convicted, Harris-Moore must forfeit the proceeds from "any and all intellectual property or other proprietary rights" to pay about $1.5 million in restitution to his victims, Browne said.
"The many years of Mr. Harris-Moore avoiding responsibility for his criminal conduct have come to an end," said U.S. Attorney Jenny A. Durkan. "We have ensured he will not profit from his crimes, and that his victims will be compensated to the greatest extent possible. While we cannot stop him from telling his story, we can mkae sure he never sees a dime for his crimes."
While Browne has maintained that his client is not interested in profiting from his exploits, entertainment lawyer Lance Rosen, who claims to represent "all media interests" for Harris-Moore, earlier declined to discuss the status of the case.

ANDALO, Italy — With the towering and jagged limestone peaks of Italy's western Dolomites as a spectacular backdrop, the bottom of the race course at Paganella Ski Area quickly morphed into a high energy rock concert on Friday. It was a festive yet slightly chaotic atmosphere in a typically serene region of natural wonder.
Less than an hour before, Ted Ligety had demonstrated that he was the master of the giant slalom, carving near perfect turns en route to a thrilling victory at the VPAY Alpine Rockfest. Ligety was the fastest of five skiers in the final round of this unusual race, which consists of five elimination rounds on a 400-meter sprint giant slalom course.
Ligety's winning time of 34.73 seconds was only one-hundredth better than that of the young Italian Giovanni Borsotti.
"To come down and see yourself one-hundredth ahead, it was a relief for sure," Ligety said. "Standing in the start gate, there is a lot of pressure knowing how fast you've already been and being the favorite also," he said, referring to the semifinal, when he was more than five-tenths quicker than his nearest challenger, Borsotti.
Ligety, a 27-year-old from Park City, Utah, was awarded a check for 60,000 euros — a winner-take-all grand prize of more than $78,000 — as the Italian rock band Radiottanta played. Read More

5 foreign dividend strongholds to buy
The global economy looks shaky, but these dividends are sturdy.
In case you hadn't noticed, it's rough out there. Europe still is quite the mess. China, while still growing, is looking a little suspect these days, and growth in much of the rest of the developing world -- particularly in commodity-exporting countries like Brazil -- depends on Chinese growth that might not materialize if present trends continue.
If you're depending purely on growth to meet your investment goals, you might end up being sorely disappointed. Prudent investors instead should turn to something a little more reliable: income.
Traditional income investments like bonds and CDs pay virtually nothing in interest these days, but it still is possible to get a decent cash income return in the world's stock markets. Let's take a look at these five foreign dividend strongholds:
China Mobile
I'll start with a Chinese company that should continue to prosper regardless of whether the Chinese economy makes a hard landing: China Mobile (CHL).
China Mobile is the largest cellular phone provider in China. In a given year, its growth in new subscribers is greater than the entire population of the United Kingdom. Again, that's just the new subscribers; it says nothing of the 600 million existing subscribers.
China Mobile pays a safe 3.6% in dividends -- substantially more than what the 10-year Treasury pays -- and CHL's dividend is almost certain to grow in the years ahead.
Even during hard economic times, consumers are unlikely to surrender their mobile phones; many would sooner leave their electric bill unpaid and sit in the dark than be unconnected.
This brings me to my next recommendation, Spain's Telefonica (TEF). Telefonica has been a favorite of the Sizemore Investment Letter for years, and for good reason. In addition to being one of Europe's leaders in mobile telecom, Telefonica is in a two-dog race with Carlos Slim's America Movil (AMOV) for dominance of the fast-growing Latin American market. At just 7 times expected 2012 earnings, Telefonica is one of the cheapest companies in the world. It also pays a spectacular 9.8% in dividends.
Next on the list is Swiss confectionery giant Nestle (NSRGY). Nestle is one of the safest and most stable companies in the world. In addition to selling staple products -- everything from packaged food to instant coffee -- that consumers will buy in good times or bad, it has a conservative and well-respected management team based in Switzerland.
While there might be no such thing as a true "buy and forget" investment, Nestle might be the closest I've ever seen. At a current dividend yield of 3.4%, Nestle represents an incredible value.
I would say much the same about Anglo-Dutch consumer products company Unilever (UL). This stodgy old maker of packaged foods and personal care products happens to get the majority of its sales from fast-growing emerging markets, a share the company expects to grow to 70% within a few years. Unilever pays a dividend of 3.7% and has a long history of raising its dividend over time.
Like Nestle, Unilever is about as close as you can get to a "buy and forget" investment.
Philip Morris International
My last recommendation -- Philip Morris International (PM) -- is not technically a foreign stock because it is based in the United States. Still, as the entirety of its revenues come from overseas, I think it's fair to lump Philip Morris in with the rest of these solid international picks.
While smoking is in terminal decline in the United States, it still is quite popular in many emerging markets, from which PM gets roughly half of its sales. As incomes rise, local consumers are trading up from cheaper local brands to premium foreign brands like Marlboro.
I've written before about the virtues of investing in vice, and I continue to view tobacco stocks as excellent long-term investments. With a dividend of 3.8% and growing, Philip Morris International is a stock you don't want to miss.
We might yet see robust growth in 2012, dear reader. I certainly hope we do; after a volatile year like 2011, it feels good to be in a bull market again. But then, that growth might well prove to be fleeting. Given the macro risks coming out of Europe and beyond, it is a mistake to depend too heavily on growth that might or might not come to pass.
The good news is that with a properly constructed dividend stock portfolio, you can earn a respectable return in either event.

The "bookstore in Osseo" has been in existence for more than 20 years. The current owners have dedicated over 10 years to the retail establishment and have no intention of stopping! There are thousands of customers that walk through the doors and many more that shop via the Internet from all parts of the world.
At A Novel Place, we have an inventory of hundreds of thousands of books. At any given time, there are more than 50,000 volumes in the store with many thousands more available to us in our warehouse. Our customers have told us it is like a treasure hunt when they come into the store. They never know what we will have on the shelves. But don't let the "old-fashioned" way fool you, we have a staff that knows more about the book industry and "who writes what" than many experts. Our customers challenge them frequently and they are often impressed when the answer is "off the top of their head"
So, take a look around, send us an e-mail with your requests, let us show you why our customers like to do business with us. We know our books, we love to read, and we especially like to help others find that special story.

Information for single parents moving into Job Seekers Allowance
If you are a single parent and your youngest child is 5 years of age or over, you are now expected to be job seeker as a condition of being on welfare benefits.
If you are able to work you will need to claim Job Seekers Allowance, the main benefit for people who are out of work. Like other job seekers you will need to show that you are actively looking for work.
Single parents also have their parenting responsibilities. There are rights and specific flexibilities that should help you to move into employment, which take account of your role as a parent. How the flexibilities are applied by Jobcentre Plus will depend on your circumstances (such as the age of your child). You will need to speak with your Personal Adviser at Jobcentre Plus about how these apply to your personal circumstances.
What rights and flexibilities are open to lone parents?
Restricting Your Working Hours to School Hours: Your Right as a Lone Parent
If you are a single parent and your youngest child is under 13, you have the right to restrict the hours you are available to work. You can restrict your hours to those of your child's normal school hours as long as you are available for work for at least 16 hours each week. This is your right as a single parent.
Job Search – Putting your Job Search on Hold
There are some circumstances when you can be given permission by an adviser to put your job search on hold for a period of time.
• Single parents who have suffered domestic violence should not have to engage in work related activity for a period of 13 weeks.
• If you have a parenting order/contract or your child has been excluded from school you can ask to restrict your job search for an agreed time.
• In some circumstances where you have agreed a restriction to your availability with your adviser because of your caring responsibilities, you might not have to show reasonable prospects of finding work if there are no suitable jobs available as a result of those restrictions.
• If you are dealing with a death or serious illness or other domestic emergency involving a close friend or relative this can also be a reason why you could restrict your job seeking. You can only apply to do this for between 1-8 weeks. The length of time that is agreed will depend on how long it is considered it will take you to deal with the emergency or event.
Travel time to work
All job seekers are expected to take a job if it is within a reasonable travel distance from their home. Many single parents need time to drop off and pick up their child from childcare or school before they start their journey to and from work. Jobcentre Plus will therefore include the pick up and fetching from childcare or school as part of the reasonable journey time calculation.
Single parents do not have to accept a job where there is not suitable or affordable childcare available. In order to judge this your Jobcentre Adviser will look at what proportion of your wages would be spent on childcare. In terms of availability you will need to show what efforts you have made to find childcare. The childcare should be suitable for your child's needs.
Once a single parent has started work your childcare can sometimes break down. If you are unable to find suitable alternative childcare you may need to leave your job. Single parents are able to claim Jobseekers Allowance again if they left a job because childcare costs were too high or there was not appropriate childcare available.
Attending Interviews and Starting Work
Most job seekers are expected to attend a job interview or take up an offer of work straight away. However, as a single parent you will probably need more time before you can attend an interview or move into a job. This is because as a parent you may need to sort out some practical issues including finding suitable childcare. As a single parent you can expect to have up to 7 days notice to attend a job interview and up to 28 days notice before you start a job.
Negotiating with your Personal Adviser
You will need to discuss with your Personal Adviser whether the above flexibilities apply to you and your circumstances. If you both agree, these can be written into your Job Seekers' Agreement. However, you can appeal if you do not agree with the Jobcentre Plus decision. As a first step your case can be referred to a Jobcentre Plus Decision Maker. If your Jobseekers Allowance is stopped in the interim you can apply for hardship payments.

The Rewards and Challenges of Cancer Communication
At first glance, the phrase "cancer communication" seems deceptively simple. But when you consider the huge amount of information generated about the long list of malignancies that make up the singular term "cancer," and couple that with the size and diversity of the audience affected by cancer, it becomes quite complex.
Despite this complexity, we know that there are effective ways to communicate about cancer - methods that differ depending on the audience involved. A cancer researcher who wants to collaborate with colleagues, for example, has different communication needs than a health educator who is trying to implement a cancer prevention program in a disadvantaged community.
This special issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin discusses just a few examples of new and effective ways for different audiences to communicate about cancer, and some of the NCI-funded research on effective communication. It also provides resources to help those in the cancer community to communicate with colleagues, health care providers, family, and community members.
NCI's communication efforts are rooted in the National Cancer Act of 1971, which initially directed NCI to develop programs for rapid dissemination of cancer research knowledge to the scientific community. This was later broadened to include cancer patients and their families, health professionals, and the public.
Indeed, the remarkable pace of change and advancement in cancer research has made our stake in communication vitally important. Researchers, community oncologists, and other providers face a constantly changing landscape of cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. And the public is regularly bombarded with news about cancer that they often must interpret on their own.
Clearly, NCI and the cancer community have an important role in disseminating accurate and helpful information, and also in making resources available to our partners who do the same. This is a huge task that NCI takes very seriously.
Since its launch in 1976, for example, NCI's Cancer Information Service (CIS) has answered more than 10 million calls from the public, patients, and health care providers about everything from clinical trials to new treatments. And the Physician Data Query (PDQ®) was launched in 1983 to provide peer-reviewed, regularly updated summaries on important cancer topics for physicians and patients.
Of course, the Internet has dramatically altered how we develop and disseminate information about cancer - a trend exemplified by the increasing number of individuals who have launched "blogs" to capture their experiences as cancer patients and share them with millions of people. In fact, cancer researchers are studying how blogs, such as those hosted by the Association of Cancer Online Resources (www.acor.org/support.html), are being used by and ultimately how they affect cancer patients. And NCI continues to find new ways to harness the communications advantages offered by the Internet, such as the recent launch of NCI Listens and Learns (http://ncilistens.cancer.gov/) to collect feedback directly from the cancer community on some of our most pressing issues.
We have vigorously responded to the communication mandate of the National Cancer Act. But, as several studies of public attitudes and beliefs about cancer indicate, we still have work to do. At NCI, we are committed to working with the cancer community to educate and inform all those with a stake in eliminating the suffering and death due to cancer. And that includes just about everybody.
Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach

Publication: theday.com
President Barack Obama is nominating Vice Adm. Paul F. Zukunft, who commands the Coast Guard's Pacific Area, to lead the Coast Guard.
If confirmed, Zukunft will succeed Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr. and become the 25th commandant of the Coast Guard on May 30. Papp, who grew up in Norwich, will retire after a 39-year career.
Zukunft is also from Connecticut. A native of North Branford, he graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1977.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, in announcing the nomination internally Friday, said Zukunft will be "a great leader for the future of the Coast Guard."
Zukunft coordinated the federal response to the Deepwater Horizon Spill in 2010 and directed more than 47,000 responders, 6,500 vessels and 120 aircraft as the Coast Guard worked to respond to and recover from the largest oil spill in U.S. history.
Zukunft has commanded six units and served extensively in the cutter fleet, where he commanded the cutters Cape Upright, Harriet Lane and Rush.
Johnson also thanked Papp for his years of service to the Coast Guard, the Department of Homeland Security and the nation. For nearly four years, Papp has led the largest component of the department, which comprises 42,000 active-duty members, 8,200 reservists, 8,000 civilians and 31,000 volunteer auxiliarists.
Papp has said that after he retires he will work to ensure that the National Coast Guard Museum is built in New London.

January 25, 2013, 1:53 PM — Windows 8 is passing two big milestones this week. On Thursday, Microsoft released its quarterly financial results, and hidden inside the numbers are clear indicators of the new operating system's impact on the company's bottom line. Tomorrow, meanwhile, marks the three-month anniversary of Windows 8's October 26 release date. The world has had plenty of time to live with the new OS, and now we can more comfortably score whether it's a success or failure.
Has the OS stepped up its game since our none-too-cheery one-month progress report? Let's just say that Windows 8's school grades still aren't quite meeting expectations.
The multi-billion dollar question: Are people actually buying Windows 8 and Windows 8-powered laptops, desktops, and tablets? The answer's far from cut-and-dry, because Microsoft refuses to provide many concrete details.
The company's quarterly earnings report showed the Windows division earning $5.88 billion in the holiday quarter, a staggering 24% increase over holiday 2011, but Microsoft maddeningly refused to provide specifics beyond that total. We still have no idea how many Surface tablets are in consumer hands, for example. At CES, Windows business head Tami Reller said that the company has sold more than 60 million Windows 8 licenses--but that figure includes licenses sold to manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo, making it an unreliable tool for figuring out whether everyday people are actually buying Windows 8.

Which Drilling Company Should You Buy?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Transocean (NYSE: RIG) had actually recovered nearly all of its losses from the Deepwater Horizon disaster in early 2011, but has since slumped. While the stock is up 14% so far this year, about even with the S&P 500 but it is down about 27% over the last two years while the index has risen by about the same percentage.
Higher drilling activity increased Transocean's revenues by 10% in the second quarter of the year compared to the same period in 2011; this was about in line with the improvement that the company saw in the first quarter. While dayrates were slightly down, utilization was up significantly. However, steep operating and maintenance costs caused Transocean to veer into unprofitability versus the positive earnings it had posted during the first half of last year. Cash flow from operations improved because of changes in working capital, but overall we do not feel particularly positive about where the company currently stands.
Transocean trades at 10 times forward earnings estimates, as Wall Street analyst consensus is for the company to generate $4.46 in earnings per share next year. That represents a large increase from what it is expected to report this year, so we think the value status this multiple implies could be deceptive. With Gulf activity still a bit questionable going forward, we would say that oil prices would have to rise- despite heavy onshore activity in U.S. shale fields- in order to drive up demand for contract drilling operations.
Transocean was oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens's largest holding in its 13F portfolio at the end of June, as BP Capital reported owning about 230,000 shares of the stock (find more stocks that T. Boone Pickens liked). Steve Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors also liked Transocean LTD during the second quarter, adding shares for a total of 3.5 million shares (research more stocks that SAC owned). Carlson Capital, managed by Clint Carlson, nearly doubled its own stake, closing June with 1.7 million shares of the stock in its portfolio (see more stock picks from Carlson Capital).
ENSCO (NYSE: ESV), Seadrill (NYSE: SDRL), Noble Corporation (NYSE: NE), and Pacific Drilling (NYSE: PACD) are four offshore drilling rig operators that we think make for good peers for Transocean. There's considerable variation among these companies' P/E multiples, but the sell-side generally agrees that they, like Transocean, are going to see high earnings growth next year- in each case the forward earnings multiple is well below the figure tied to trailing earnings. ENSCO and Noble both trade at 8 times forward estimates, a slight discount to Transocean, but we'd consider Transocean the market leader in the industry and its market capitalization is somewhat higher than these two peers. ENSCO and Noble, however, have been experiencing very strong growth in revenue- up 90% and 44% last quarter versus a year ago, respectively- which has also bled through to their bottom lines. These companies may make better buys than Transocean, and also lack the stigma (and continuing legal troubles) of being associated with Deepwater Horizon.
Seadrill is a bit more expensive than these companies on a forward basis, at 11 times estimated earnings for 2013. The bullishness from analyst continues in full throat here- the five-year PEG ratio at Seadrill is a remarkably low 0.4- so if an investor is going to take their estimates on faith Seadrill is quite cheap. However, we are not sure that quite this much optimism is warranted, and might prefer a company which requires less growth in order to justify its valuation. Pacific Drilling is by far the smallest of these offshore drillers, at a market cap of $2.2 billion. According to analyst projections it is also the most expensive, carrying a forward P/E of 21.We don't see anything particularly attractive in its business or financials, and so we'd avoid it as well.
Transocean is recovering, and if it can meet expectations than it will end up being a good value and have substantial upside from any rises in oil prices that occur over the next several years. However, our overview is that Ensco or Noble might be safer picks and should deliver similar value to Transocean in any given macro scenario.

Your body armor gets a serious steampunk treatment. Take that Kevlar!
A long, long time ago no self-appointed hero of the realm would ever dream of being seen without his, or hers, armor. Whether it be something as simple as a well crafted jerkin with chain mail or some full body suit of metal you just didn't travel far without some sort of protection.
Fast forward to today and the sale of things like Kevlar vests or bulletproof suits is the de rigueur of everyone from soldier to inner city business person.
However nothing from then or now comes even close to looking as good as these steampunk versions of body armor called "Emperors Armor of Empowerment" by Ian Finch-Field. His name alone evokes a whole steampunk feeling but his work is just gorgeous.
Of course such craftsmanship isn't cheap as the first custom armor below sells for $10,270. So you might want to stick with that Kevlar vest for a little longer.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I'm extremely worried about the future of this planet. The next five or so years are absolutely crucial when it comes to halting climate change, and at present very little is indicating we'll make the two degree goal, which is the best we can hope for. Capitalism doesn't seem to have the tools to adapt to a limit of resources, several Antarctic glaciers are melting beyond stopping, and in most places making real changes is impossible for reasons of political popularity. Instead everything is pointing towards a pretty hellish scenario already in my children's lifetime, with billions of climate refugees, shortage of food and water and global economic collapse. Quite frankly, I often feel there's no hope.
Well, that's a perky start of a review, right?
But there's a point. For Butler's book is very much the right read at the right time for me, giving me some glimpses of insights that feel very important. "Parable of the Talents" follows the events of Lauren and her little group after they found the enclave Acorn, making it the centre of the new faith, Earthseed. They are successful, even prosperous, until a new president of the wobbly United States is elected, a hateful bigot who wants to rebuild America's greatness by trampling the different. Earthseed is looked upon as a satanic cult, and cannot avoid the president's "Crusaders" forever. When the strike comes, it's crueler than anyone could foresee.
Butler paints a very cruel, bleak world, a recognizable America in free fall, where human lives are cheap and getting by is hard. But Talents is, more than anything, a book about prevailing. About getting by. About trying again. About finding dignity in the most trying of circumstances. And as such, as a book pointing out that human existence can be worthy, meaningful, even beautiful even in the shittiest of worlds, it resonates strongly with me: If we fail, if don't make it, if we're heading towards a world five or six degrees warmer, with melted poles and scorched lands, there might be lives worth living there too.
On the other hand, I realize that the ultimate goal the Earthseed faith paints, the dream of a humankind surviving by taking to the stars, leaves me totally cold. The idea of man spreading to other parts of the universe, at the risk of repeating the same mistakes, holds very little comfort for me. I come to understand, however superficially, that my love is for this planet, rather than mankind per se. Not a bad bunch of insights to get from 430 pages of science fiction, eh?
As a book, Talents has all the same qualities that "Parable of the Sower" had: a strong sense of setting and character in a no-nonsense kind of way. It's brutal in the same way (which may deter some). In the end though, it doesn't quite take full responsibility for it's setup. The storyline of Lauren and her lost daughter (who is telling the story) never seems to become all it could be. There's a tiny sense of anticlimax in the end. But the road there is pretty damn stunning.
This book is a sequel to Parable of the Sower. In my review of Sower, I had doubts about the religious writings and ideology of the main character, Lauren. Thus I really appreciated that here, Butler brings other voices into the mix, other narrators who question and even oppose Lauren's vision. This lifts her Earthseed religion out of its starry-eyed beginnings in the first book, and brings it into context as a noble but not necessarily infallible belief system, one that redefines God in quite secular terms.
I still have mixed feelings about Lauren's Earthseed religion, but this book left me turning it over in my head -- even seeking out scholarly articles written about the book to get different perspectives on it. Any work of fiction that is so thought-provoking, well-written, and engrossing deserves five stars.
I have to confess that before reading this book, I had no idea what the word "talent" meant in this context. I read the Parable of the Talents (the actual biblical parable, Matthew 25:14-30), and couldn't make any sense of it. When I finished Butler's book and still found the parable incomprehensible, I searched my library for information about it. (See now why I became a librarian?) Anyway, I realized to my embarrassment that a "talent" in the Bible is a monetary unit! Suddenly the parable made a lot more sense. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to look into that before I'd read Butler's book.
Apparently, Butler planned on continuing her series past these first two books, but sadly she passed away before writing another. The two Parable books stand well on their own, however, and I recommend them to all readers, even those who normally stay away from science fiction.
I knew that this and Parable of the Sower were two books in what was supposed to become a trilogy but never did, but I couldn't remember which came first, and the bookstore I was in only had this one on the shelf. Therefore, I went ahead and bought it only to determine later that it was the second. However, it stands so well on its own that I'm a little worried that I'll be disappointed when I go back and read the first book.
The post-cataclysmic world in which Olamina is struggling to build a community and find a way to spread her philosophy of Earthseed is one in which the government is in the process of being taken over by a fundamentalist denomination known as Christian America, education has become a luxury or something that must be arranged privately, and the poor routinely find themselves sold into slavery, and all of it is frighteningly believable. I can't comment on how possible it all seemed when it was first published, but thirteen years later it strikes me as one of the most prescient books that I've ever read.
And yet, as dark as the book is, so full of violence and despair, it ends with hope. Olamina begins to find supporters at the end of the book's main timeline; in the farther-future timeline, in which her daughter pieces together bits of her mother's journal along with occasional additions from her father and her uncle in order to tell the story, we are told that Christian America is now just one denomination among many. Although a CA family might believe that a woman who moves out of her parents' house before marrying is more or less a prostitute, there's no law that keeps her from doing so. She's not the property of her father until she becomes the property of her husband, and neither does a male guardian have to manage her finances or own/rent the place where she lives. In short, America did not go the way of The Handmaid's Tale. And if the chaos just sort of passing and normality returning might seem narratively strange, without the drama of massive resistance movements, it also seems quite natural in its way that the country would just reject the CA movement when it became clear they did not have the answers.
I would really give this book 3.5 stars. I was initially disappointed with the slow pacing of the story. I should have known that it would only be a matter of time before I was sucked back into Olamina's story. Octavia Butler did not let me down.
This is a story of the efforts of Lauren Oya Olamina to jumpstart her Earthseed belief system during the dystopian chaos of America in 2032. At this time, America is no longer the shining city on a hill. Alaska has seceded from the union, American currency is worthless and slavery, disease, and violence are widespread. Out of desperation, citizens have elected Texas Senator Andrew Steele Jarret as the new President of the United States of America. Jarret also just happens to be the head of the Church of Christian America. Jarret and his supporters are going to fix things.....even if it means burning people at the stake who refuse to fall in line.
Join us and thrive, or whatever happens to you as a result of your own sinful stubborness is your problem.
The clash between Earthseed and Christian America is inevitable. The consequences are tragic. I had a hard time putting this book down.
Several years after the events of the first novel, Parable of the Sower, Lauren Olamina and her fellow survivors of the chaos of the Pox have welcomed others and began to build a home for themselves in Northern California. Acorn is a community of over 60 people, most of whom are followers of Olamina's religion, known as Earthseed. While there are still many dangers and poverty is still rife, things in California have quieted some and there is less overt violence on the roads. But a new fear is growing in the form of a fanatical Christian group, controlled by a powerful presidential nominee, that wants to return to an archaic and false ideal of the past, and this group could erase Acorn and Earthseed from the world.
The book opens with the voice of Olamina's daughter Asha, and Asha's anger with her mother is clear. Asha has compiled pages from her mother's and father Bankole's journals in an attempt to understand them and to understand herself. It's clear from the start that while she can find sympathy for the father she never met, she has little sympathy for her mother.
As the book unfolds, we still are presented with Olamina's voice the most in the form of her journal entries, and she is fascinating as ever in her persistent pursuit of making the Earthseed religion a reality. She's powerful, brave, driven, and almost blinded by her drive, but she is also loving and caring toward her family and friends.
Through the words of Asha, Olamina, and Bankole, we see how Earthseed grows from a few words written in a notebook into a full community and cult, which is nearly wiped out. The journey is fascinating and it's compelling to see an imagining of how a religion (or cult, depending on your point of view) can be born and grow followers.
Like with Parable of the Sower, a trigger warning should go out to those uncomfortable with violence and rape, both of which appear in abundance within the book. Violence appears many times in this book, but again, there is hope in the way people come together and find ways to preserve their humanity in horrifying situations.
But also, like Sower, Butler writing and storytelling offer a grim, and occasionally bleak, but ultimately hopeful tale that might have failed in less skilled hands. While I didn't love it as much as the first, it is a fantastic book and one I also recommend.
The only pity is that Butler never had a chance to continue with this series, which I have heard would have continued Earthseed's journey by having its followers attain their goal of populating the stars. It would have been fascinating to see how these people carried this religion into new worlds, and how their society changed and grew as generations build communities on new worlds. I suppose, since it was never written, that I will just have to imagine what might have been.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0446675784, Paperback)Octavia Butler tackles the creation of a new religion, the making of a god, and the ultimate fate of humanity in her Earthseed series, which began with Parable of the Sower, and now continues with Parable of the Talents. The saga began with the near-future dystopian tale of Sower, in which young Lauren Olamina began to realize her destiny as a leader of people dispossessed and destroyed by the crumbling of society. The basic principles of Lauren's faith, Earthseed, were contained in a collection of deceptively simple proverbs that Lauren used to recruit followers. She teaches that "God is change" and that humanity's ultimate destiny is among the stars.
In Parable of the Talents, the seeds of change that Lauren planted begin to bear fruit, but in unpredictable and brutal ways. Her small community is destroyed, her child is kidnapped, and she is imprisoned by sadistic zealots. She must find a way to escape and begin again, without family or friends. Her single-mindedness in teaching Earthseed may be her only chance to survive, but paradoxically, may cause the ultimate estrangement of her beloved daughter. Parable of the Talents is told from both mother's and daughter's perspectives, but it is the narrative of Lauren's grown daughter, who has seen her mother made into a deity of sorts, that is the most compelling. Butler's writing is simple and elegant, and her storytelling skills are superb, as usual. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the next installment in what promises to be a moving and adventurous saga. --Therese Littleton

Mt. Pleasant police say the juvenile struck by a SUV in front of Moultrie Middle School only suffered minor injuries after darting in front of traffic.
According to Mount Pleasant Police Department incident reports, witnesses told officers the student darted in front of a Chevrolet Tahoe driven by a 58-year-old man around 8 a.m. just past the intersection of Coleman Boulevard and Simmons Street.
Police also said that at the time of the collision, crossing guards were assisting children at the nearby crosswalk, but the juvenile failed to "utilize [their] service."
Officers estimated the man was driving about 20 miles per hour at the time of the collision.
Despite the fact the Mt. Pleasant Fire Department officials had to raise the Tahoe off the ground to free the juvenile, who was trapped, the victim only suffered minor injuries, police said.
Earlier in the day, Charleston County EMS Director Don Lundy told us the juvenile suffered serious injuries.
The juvenile was taken to Medical University of South Carolina for treatment.
The man behind the wheel of the Tahoe was not cited or charged, according to the traffic report.
Editor's note: Another version of this story incorrectly stated the driver of the Tahoe was a teen, because the incident report provided by police listed the man's age as 17. We have since determined this was incorrect.
