Exit polls show Japan's LDP gaining the big victory expected of it, garnering maybe 310 seats (out of 480 total) in the country's lower house of parliament. The win returns Shinzo Abe to the PM's role 5 years after he lost the job. Abe ran promising to goad the BOJ into far easier monetary policy, and stocks (up) and the yen (down) have responded over the past weeks.

I don't share Macro's optimism, to wit:
Easier BoJ monetary policy is not going to slow China's multi-faceted plays against Japan. My forward-looking opinion is that the long-term strategies the Chinese are pursuing versus Japan assure progressive decline regardless of any near-term bounce this LDP win stimulates.
Is it time to add to short yen positions and add to JGB puts? I still like the option market to get short JGBs. This is Japan doubling down on failure. Policy makers buying votes by promising more stimulus. The real failure is the United States is following Japan's road to ruin and slow growth model. Shame on us.
This is a circular argument. In the long run is it a good idea to fund additional government spending by borrowing more? Would you consider the fact that it is the government debt itself that may be a headwind to economic growth. Did all that borrowing and spending grow Japan's economy? Nope. Economy is the same size now as it was in 1996. Debt matters. Want to see a success story? Look at Polland. Bite the bullet. Get your house back in order, then the economy starts growing again. More debt is not the answer
At least the Japanese economy is the same size at it was in 1996. One shudders to think what it would have been if there was no monetary expansion. That would the early years of the Great Depression. Why are people so resistant to learn from history?
"How about a mass effort to upgrade the infrastructure in the country? " - are we talking about Japan? Have you been there? They have some of the best roads I've ever seen. Keynesianism has failed in JP due to structural reasons: the JP ROI is in fact negative, with all their geriatrics,massive debt overhang and inefficient non-exporting industries. Read T. Cowen's book "The Great Stagnation" to see what is coming down the pike for the USA.
Paul Krugman makes the same argument and it is just as nonsensical when it comes out of the mouth of Nobel Prize winner. He suggests borrowing money because interest rates are low. He talks about how cheap the debt service is on a trillion dollars of new borrowing. Never, not once does he discuss any plan to pay it back. Gee, big surprise interest rates are so low with QE infinity.

Boao, China, Apr 6 (EFE).- Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Saturday that his government is open "to dialogue and to hearing different views" with regard to educational reform, but insisted that "the law is not negotiable" and "there's no going back on what was enacted to improve the quality of education."
At a press conference during the Boao Forum on the southern Chinese island of Hainan, Peña Nieto said that "Mexico must take steps to transform education and other areas."
"Otherwise we'll be stuck in passivity and inertia, which are not going to help improve our lives," he said, and making use of his trip to the Far East, pointed to that region as an example.
"Asia has developed significantly in recent years...and we have to ask ourselves why Mexico can't do the same," the president said.
The Mexican leader made that statement following protests this week in which thousands of Mexican teachers took part, demanding the repeal of the educational reform measure enacted last February.
Some 8,000 teachers from several states in the country staged a protest march Thursday from the Zocalo, the main square of the Mexican capital, to the Interior Ministry.
In some cases the protests ended in clashes with the police.

A Parent's Guide to Epilepsy
Drugs for Children With Epilepsy
In this article
Tips for Taking Epilepsy Drugs continued...
Here are some practical steps you can take to make it easier on your child:
- First, keep all medicines, especially seizure medicines, away from young children. An overdose of these medicines can be especially dangerous.
- Buy a pill box for your child with spaces for each dose. You might also want to use alarms -- maybe on a wrist watch, cell phones, or computer -- to remind your child to take his or her medication.
- Talk to your child's teacher or the school nurse about how epilepsy drugs should be given at school. However, if possible, try to avoid giving medications at school.
- Talk to your doctor about simplifying the medication schedule as much as possible. If your child is supposed to take medicine more than once a day, or take multiple medicines, ask if there's any way to combine doses or switch to one drug.
- Set a sensible schedule. Sometimes parents continue the medication schedule that their child had in the hospital. This could involve waking up your child in the night to give medicine. Nighttime medicine may not be necessary. Talk to your doctor about how to set the simplest and most sensible schedule.
- Don't run low on your medicine. Get in the habit of requesting drug refills several days before you'll run out of epilepsy medicine.
- Know what to do when your child misses a dose. Children inevitably miss a dose once in a while. Make sure you know what to do when it happens. Remember, never double up a dose unless your doctor tells you to do so.
- Involve your child in the process. As the parent, you must make sure your child takes the epilepsy medicine. But it's a good idea to encourage your child to take some responsibility, too. Children with epilepsy will need to know how to follow their medication schedule on their own as they grow older.
- Be honest with the doctor. You may feel embarrassed to admit to your child's doctor that you've missed some doses. But even the most organized people forget sometimes. It's crucial that you honestly tell your child's doctor how often your child has really taken the epilepsy medicine. If your child takes medicine only half the scheduled times, the doctor may think the drug isn't working and raise the dosage. That can lead to side effects.
Remember, a person with epilepsy should never stop taking medicine without a doctor's consent. Stopping medication may lead to more, even stronger seizures.

Thomas Edison: Inventor and Poet
Read More of Edison's Work
An untitled prose poem by Thomas Edison has recently been published for the first time. Blaine McCormick, editor of the Edison Papers Project, attempts to decipher the writing.
The Edison Papers Project at Rutgers University has compiled 5 million pages of documents that chronicle Edison's life and achievements.
An Untitled Prose Poem by Thomas Edison:
A Bowery angel smoking a palm tree stubbed his toe on a comet, and pimples came out on his toe nail as big as mountains. He swore so much that God made eight new planets out of the conversation & peopled and fauna'd and flora'd them eccentrically. The almighty has a vein of humor. He made these planets & peopled them to give amusements to beings on the rest of the celestial plantation. The men were 800 miles long & 1/4 inch thick. They slept on telegraph poles, and animals with bodies as big as a pea with 900 eyes each as big as a saucer lived on these long men by catching them by the feet and sucking them in like macaroni.

Rooney has missed the last three United games after sustaining a training ground injury on Christmas Day as he damaged a ligament when volleying the ball.
He had initially been ruled out of the festive programme, and this weekend's FA Cup third-round tie against West Ham, but will now also be absent for the match against Liverpool at Old Trafford on January 13.
"Wayne's still injured, and it looks like going to be out another two weeks or so," Sir Alex Ferguson said.
"It's a surprise as he was meant to be back training now. So he'll be out for longer than we thought and I don't think he will be fit for the Liverpool match.
"The injury is nothing serious. He just got clipped behind his knee. Nothing shows in the scan but he's still feeling it. Hopefully in two weeks it'll be sorted but nonetheless it's a loss."
However, defender Phil Jones is fit for the cup tie with West Ham and Nani will return to training on Friday, even if Darren Fletcher may not feature at the weekend if the conditions are not favourable.
"The ground has been really heavy recently and I don't think the pitches have suited him," Ferguson said. "I've explained that to him.
"But we're in good shape now with good options. We've utilised the squad very well in the last few weeks."

Safety Beyond Facebook: 12 Social Media Apps Every Parent Should Know About
15 of 17
What About Facebook and Twitter?
Do all these new social media apps mean that Facebook and Twitter are in decline? A 2013 survey by Pew Internet found that U.S. teens have "waning enthusiasm" for Facebook — in part because their parents and other adults have taken over the domain and because their peers engage in too much "drama" on the site. But Facebook still remains the top social media site among U.S. teens, who say that their peers continue to stay on the site so they don't miss anything happening there. Your child may keep a profile on Facebook but be much more active on newer platforms.
Meanwhile, Twitter use is rising among teens. The 2013 Pew survey found that 24 percent of online teens are on Twitter, up from 16 percent in 2011. Twitter is more popular among African American teens than Hispanic and white teens.

NCI contractor SAIC-Frederick and Roche Applied Science entered into a research collaboration to evaluate the latter's technologies for sequencing the genomes of cancer research samples. Roche claims the project could lead to faster, more streamlined approaches to homing in on cancer-related genetic variants in genomic regions flagged by genome-wide association studies. Under the terms of the collaboration, SAIC-Frederick's core genotyping facility will assess the ability of Roche NimbleGen's solution-based sequence capture technology, SeqCap EZ System, to capture specific regions of the genome of a cancer research sample. This captured DNA will then be sequenced on the ultrahigh-throughput Genome Sequencer FLX System. "Our ability to understand the impact of particular regions of the human genome with cancer phenotypes is rapidly advancing with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies," according to Joseph Boland, dedicated scientific operations manager at the SAIC-Frederick's core genotyping facility. "Our intent is to implement Roche NimbleGen's solution-based sequence capture technology, SeqCap EZ, to rapidly advance our next-generation sequencing projects and in turn increase our knowledge of cancer genetics." The deal has been established under the NCI's Advanced Technology Partnerships Initiative, which SAIC-Frederick is facilitating for the U.S. government. SAIC-Frederick is a wholly owned subsidiary of Science Applications International.

With anestimated 559 million Spanish speakers worldwide, it's easy to see why you would want to learn how to speak Spanish. So, how should you get started? Here's a quick look at how to learn Spanish.
Before we go any further, it is important to know that there are numerous websites on the internet, as well as apps and programs you can order, such as Rosetta Stone, that promise to help you learn to speak Spanish the "fun and fast way". These options are useful as study aids.
However, if your goal is to truly master and retain the language for the long-term, the best way to do this is by starting at the very beginning, just like you did English, and realizing that it will take time and effort.
Start by learning the correct Spanish pronunciation of letters
While the Spanish and English alphabets are identical, there is a huge difference in how each letter is pronounced. To get started learning Spanish, take the time to learn how to pronounce each letter of the alphabet correctly.
This will make it much easier to learn how to pronounce complete words, phrases, and sentences later on. The Spanish Dictionary has aneasy to use guide online that demonstrate the correct pronunciations.
Consider one-on-one tutoring, preferably with a native speaker
While this can be expensive, it is also the most effective way to really learn a language. Native speakers are ideal because they understand the hidden rules of the language and meanings of certain words. Tutoring works best because you have a person right there who can improve your pronunciations, correct mistakes, and assist you in learning intricate grammar rules.
Take a Spanish class or join a group
If you don't want to spend a ton of money on a private teacher, consider taking a class. You may be able to find one at your local community college or library. You might even be able to find a group on Meetup.com of people like yourself who are learning to speak Spanish.
While a group may not offer Spanish lessons, there are groups where people meet to practice and hone their Spanish speaking skills, which will prove to be beneficial. After all, to really learn Spanish, you need to speak it as much as possible.
Purchase Spanish speaking software
For beginners, software programs are a great way to learn how to pronounce words, as well as learn the correct Spanish terms for different words and even pick up on various phrases. However, they will not teach you how to read or write the language.
Incorporate Spanish into your daily life
The more you are around (or hear) something, the more familiar you become with it. Here are several ways to integrate Spanish into your daily routine, which will make learning and understanding it come much easier.
- Listen to Spanish. From listening in the car to watching Spanish movies and telenovelas (soap operas), listening to Spanish, even if it is just in the background, is crucial for getting used to the language. Over time, you'll realize that are picking things up and understanding thing you didn't know you knew.
- Label things. When you are trying to remember the words for different items that are common in your everyday life, stick a label on them. This way every time you encounter an item, such as refrigerator (refrigerador), you 'll also encounter the Spanish word for it.
- Create flash cards. This is an easy way to test your knowledge. Don't just use words, use phrases and see what you know.
- Check out Spanish children's books. Children's books are designed for people who are learning the language. This doesn't mean they are limited to children. They can be just as beneficial for adults who are learning the language.
- Make Spanish speaking friends. Ask them to speak to you in their native tongue. This enables you to get used to hearing Spanish and responding to it.
- Change appliances and other items to Spanish settings. This is a simple way to pick up every day and technical language.
Finally, it's important to understand that to truly learn and retain Spanish, you will have to work on it every day. You can't master a new language by working on it for a few minutes here and then a couple hours a week later. Set a schedule and stick to it.

The current study investigated the effects of brief exposure to appearance-related media on young girls' body image. One hundred and twenty-one girls aged 3–6 years old participated. Results indicated that exposure did not affect body dissatisfaction or engagement in appearance-related play behaviours. This is the first empirical study to provide support for previous findings that suggest media exposure does not affect body image in young girls. In contrast to older populations, it is possible that young children may adopt the persona of attractive characters with whom they identify rather than comparing themselves to the characters. Although nearly all girls liked the way they looked, self-report data indicated that nearly one-third of the participants would change something about their physical appearance and nearly half of the girls worried about being fat. Exposure to appearance-related media did not exacerbate concerns.

CHESTER, Pa. -- Blas Perez scored late in stoppage time to lift FC Dallas to a 2-2 draw against the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
Walker Zimmerman also scored as FC Dallas (8-3-6) picked up its second consecutive draw pulled into a first-place tie with Real Salt Lake and Portland atop the Western Conference.
Aaron Wheeler had put the Union ahead with his first career goal in the 87th minute. Amobi Okugo also scored for Philadelphia (7-5-5) while Sheanon Williams added two assists.
The Union extended their unbeaten streak to 2-0-2, narrowly missing a chance to tie a franchise mark with a third consecutive victory.
TORONTO -- Yordany Alvarez scored just before halftime to lead Real Salt Lake.
Javier Morales knocked the ball back out of the area to Alvarez on the right side, and he unleashed a right-footed shot that left Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik stuck to the line.
Toronto (2-8-6), which snapped a three-game unbeaten streak, nearly tied it three times in second-half stoppage time but RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando kept a clean sheet. Jeremy Brockie had two close range headers stopped and Steven Caldwell had a shot stopped seconds before the final whistle.
Tony Beltran for Salt Lake (10-5-3) and Doneil Henry for Toronto were both sent off after a scuffle in the 79th minute.
WASHINGTON -- Camilo Sanvezzo scored his ninth goal of the season on a penalty kick in the second half, lifting Vancouver past D.C. United.
The Whitecaps' defense preserved just their second league shutout of the season in the victory, and their first since a 1-0 home victory against Toronto F.C. in the season opener on March 2.
Vancouver (7-5-4) has won three straight behind Sanvezzo, who has scored six goals in its last four league matches.
United (2-12-3) was shut out for the 10th time this season and resumed its losing form after snapping a club-record 13-match winless run with a 1-0 home win over San Jose last weekend.
MONTREAL -- Tony Cascio scored in stoppage time as Colorado handed Montreal its first home loss of the season.
Deshorn Brown had tied the score in the 77th minute, and Atiba Harris and Dillon Powers also scored for the Rapids (6-7-5). Colorado ended a three-game losing streak and had their its highest scoring output of the season.
Daniele Paponi had his first two MLS goals, and Hassoun Camara also scored for Eastern Conference-leading Montreal (9-4-2), which dropped to 6-1-1 at home.
On the winning goal, the Rapids were on a counterattack when Cascio picked up a loose ball and saw his shot go off midfielder Patrice Bernier and past goalie Troy Perkins into the net.

It was studied whether the type of bread (i.e. a low-fibre wheat–rye mixed bread and coarse or fine wholemeal rye bread) either as part of a diet or alone, had an influence on the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced during in vitro fermentation. Fermentation substrates were dietary fibre residues obtained from diets and breads. In addition, it was investigated whether the faecal SCFA pattern in the inoculum donors, who ingested the experimental diets, could be predicted by in vitro fermentation. Yields of SCFA in vitro were 0·51–0·62 g/g fermented polysaccharide. In vitro, the molar ratios of butyrate were higher for the two high-fibre diets containing coarse or fine wholemeal bread than for the low fibre diet containing wheat–rye mixed bread; the difference was significant for the coarse (P < 0·01), but not for the fine bread diet (P = 0·0678). The coarse wholemeal bread alone produced a higher molar ratio of butyrate than the fine wholemeal bread (P < 0·05) and the wheat–rye mixed bread (P < 0·01). Ingestion by the inoculum donors of the diets containing wholemeal bread led to higher faecal butyrate ratios (molar ratios: coarse bread diet 19·6, fine bread diet 17·7) compared with the wheat–rye mixed bread-containing diet (14·9), but the differences between the diets were not significant. For the diets investigated, there were no significant differences between faecal and in vitro SCFA patterns.

Israel Seeks U.S. Biotech Investors as Index Plunges
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange is seeking to lure investment to biomedical companies after the life sciences index fell twice as much as a measure for technology stocks.
"Part of the volatility was because investors weren't familiar with these companies," Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Chief Executive Officer Ester Levanon, 64, said by telephone from New York, where she is holding a conference today on the industry. "We're trying to bring the biomed companies closer to investors and raise the awareness of their businesses."
The Tel Aviv Biomed Index of 27 companies dropped 21 percent since it was initiated on March 3, lagging behind the Tel-Tech gauge of 15 technology companies, which has lost 9.2 percent. The benchmark TA-25 Index climbed 7.4 percent during the same period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Given Imaging Ltd., the maker of a capsule-sized camera for diagnosing digestive ailments, has declined 20 percent since the biomed index started. The company has the fourth-biggest weighting in the measure at 8.7 percent. The Yoqneam, Israel- based firm reported a 74 percent decline in third-quarter profit and cut its 2010 forecast on Nov. 4.
Lack of Liquidity
"Investors preferred to invest in companies with stable income and positive cash flow in a time of quite big uncertainty in the market," Uriel Goren, the head of equities sales at Tel Aviv-based DS Securities & Investments, said by telephone.
Fourteen companies are being featured at the conference today with a goal of promoting them and the industry, Levanon said in her opening markets for the meeting.
"There have been quite a few successful companies that have emerged from the area," Sameer Harish, the vice president of health care equity research at Needham & Company LLC, said at the conference today. "Still, investors are interested in finding quality growth stories and are less interested in where these companies are coming from."
The Tel Aviv exchange will expand indexes for technology companies, including a measure of 50 firms that will include biomed, Levanon said in an interview last month.
The Israeli market, upgraded by MSCI Inc. on May 27 to developed market status from emerging, recorded a net $1.08 billion of sales of Tel Aviv-traded shares by foreign investors in the second quarter, central bank data show.
Among 140 technology companies listed on the Israeli exchange, 50 are biomedical firms, and more companies in the industry are planning initial share sales, Levanon said.
"Our target is to have a critical mass of companies in order to attract more local and foreign investors," Levanon said.

These black Euro-studs are of a different pedigree than their stateside counterparts. The emphasis is less on attitude, which isn't to say director/performer Joachim lacks personality. The chicks certainly respond to that berserk bedside manner of his. And when both girls and guys get off, so does the (re)viewer.
Like a string of fire-crackers, these scenes go off in a rapid succession. A stunning standout is newly redheaded, crimson corset-clad Renee Pornero. She takes Joachim's dick deep into her derriere with amazing grace. Also worth relishing: the sun, cum-drenched outdoor romps. But the hypo-manic Cory Everson/Alan Gwada dumper-pumper seals this deal.

Hundreds attend vigil for 6 Warren teens killed in crash
WARREN, Ohio - Community members are crowding into a prayer service in Ohio to remember six teens killed when an SUV flipped over a guardrail and landed upside down in a pond.
The mayor of the northeast Ohio city of Warren told about 200 people who gathered Monday night that he is receiving messages from around the country.
He says there are lessons that can be learned from the tragedy.
The State Highway Patrol says the teens were riding in an allegedly stolen sport utility vehicle that was speeding just before the crash. None were wearing seatbelts.
The patrol says the sport utility vehicle's owner met with police Monday and filed a theft report, saying it was stolen from an address in the city.
The dead were 14 to 19 years old.

Moscow Court Finds Ex-World Chess Champion Kasparov Innocent
A Moscow court found Garry Kasparov, a former world chess champion and a leader of Russia's Solidarity opposition group, innocent of alleged participation in an unlawful rally, according to a statement published on Kasparov's website.
Kasparov was detained outside a Moscow court during the reading of the verdict in the trial of three members of Pussy Riot, an all-female punk band, on Aug. 17.
"It is hard to imagine a situation where a Russian court finds a member of the opposition innocent," Kasparov said in the website statement.
A Moscow court on Aug. 17 found performers of the Pussy Riot punk band guilty of hooliganism and inciting religious hatred and sentenced the members to two years in prison for performing a "punk prayer" urging the removal of President Vladimir Putin in the country's main Christian Orthodox cathedral.
More than 50 people were detained outside the court during the verdict announcement, the state news service RIA Novosti reported.
'Absurd' Accusations
U.S. and European Union officials criticized the Pussy Riot trial's outcome as "disproportionate," while pop stars such as Madonna, Sting and Paul McCartney, whom Putin invited to the Kremlin in 2003 before a Red Square concert, have backed the band members.
"The accusations were absurd, this is a chess grandmaster we're talking about," Lyudmila Alexeyeva, head of the Moscow Helsinki Group, said by phone. "The Russian authorities realized that after Pussy Riot they didn't need another scandalous trial."
One of the police officers who detained Kasparov on Aug. 17 has accused the former chess champion of allegedly biting him and has submitted a request for inquiry to Russia's Investigative Committee, RIA Novosti reported Aug. 20, citing the Moscow police department's press service.
Kasparov said he will file a lawsuit against the police officers who detained and allegedly beat him on Aug. 17, according to his website statement.
"Today's decision shows that a Russian judge can act independently from the government," Dmitry Simes, president of the Washington-based Center for the National Interest, said by phone. "Many Russian judges and members of the political elite realize that the presidential administration doesn't want to go too far and use repressive measures."
Approval Ratings
Putin's and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's approval ratings slumped this month to the lowest levels since mass protests erupted in December, when tens of thousands took to the streets to denounce Putin and alleged fraud in parliamentary elections. A crackdown on demonstrators has since ensued, including embezzlement charges that could see protest leader Alexey Navalny jailed for 10 years.
Putin, 59, who handed the presidency to Medvedev, 46, in 2008 after serving the constitutional maximum of two consecutive terms, took back the reins from his protégé in May.

William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, a country where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger, and a place where hope and opportunity were hard to find.
Enchanted by the workings of electricity as a boy, William had a goal to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that left his family's farm devastated and his parents destitute. Unable to pay the 80-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died.
Yet William refused to let go of his dreams. With nothing more than a fistful of cornmeal in his stomach, a small pile of once-forgotten science textbooks, and an armory of curiosity and determination, he embarked on a daring plan to bring his family a set of luxuries that only two percent of Malawians could afford and what the West considers a necessity--electricity and running water. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, William forged a crude yet operable windmill, an unlikely contraption and small miracle that eventually powered four lights, complete with homemade switches and a circuit breaker made from nails and wire. A second machine turned a water pump that could battle the drought and famine that loomed with every season.
Soon, news of William's magetsi a mphepo--his "electric wind"--spread beyond the borders of his home, and the boy who was once called crazy became an inspiration to those around the world.
Here is the remarkable story about human inventiveness and its power to overcome crippling adversity. The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind will inspire anyone who doubts the power of one individual's ability to change his community and better the lives of those around him.
Download the accompanying reference guide.
©2009 William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer; (P)2009 HarperCollins Publishers
"William Kamkwamba's achievements with wind energy should serve as a model of what one person, with an inspired idea, can do to tackle the crisis we face. His book tells a moving and exciting story." (Al Gore, former Vice President and Nobel Laureate)
"This exquisite tale strips life down to its barest essentials, and once there finds reason for hopes and dreams, and is especially resonant for Americans given the economy and increasingly heated debates over health care and energy policy." (Publishers Weekly)
"A story of INGENUITY, richly narrated"
Narrator Chike Johnson's warm and accurately-accented reading of William Kamkwamba's story makes me glad that I listened to it on audio rather than just reading it off a page. The beautiful East African accent is easy to understand and helps draw the listener into the story. Moreover, the endurance, resilience, and determination Kamkwamba demonstrates had me practically cheering through the second part of the book as he painstakingly gathers the materials for his windmill.
Runner, Commuter, Dietitian with a passion for U.S. History.
"Just Wonderful"
Inspirational story of a boy who grows up with next to nothing in Africa and loses even that in a famine. Incredibly, secondary education is not accessible for this bright, curious boy and this is the cruelest blow of all. William triumphs over these obstacles by building a windmill largely from junkyard parts. I wish nothing but the best for William. The narration was unique but fit the story well. The toughest thing about listening to this book is coming back to reality and our materialistic, self centered lives.
"A Coming of Age Story with a Twist"
This is a curious story (for those who like fiction), introduction to technology for the unitiated, and a coming of age tale. It is satisfying, informative and inspirational all at one time. This is the story og one William Kamkwamba who speaks little English. Despite that, he masters the basics of electricity through reading books he has available to him. In the mean time, there is a famine, he doesn't have the money to go to school, and he is teaching himself. In the end he harnesses the wind through the building of a windmill and "lives happily ever after."
This wonderful book is written by Kamkwamba with Bryan Mealer. The reading of Chike Johnson is just grand. Don't let this book get past you.
One of the most inspiring book I have ever read... I mean, heard! William Kamkwamba is my new hero. His strength, clear mind and general goodness inspire awe and humility. The narrator's native accent makes it even more poignant! A must listen.
"Truly Inspiring"
In a world where we increasingly depend upon the government for help, a lone, young African boy shows us that there are no limits to humanity's ingenuity and innovation. Let us all rise up and take charge of our own destinies!!
"Great story but a bit lengthy"
I read this book for my summer reading so this wasn't something I read for enjoyment. Great story however it could have been narrowed down because I was stuck on the stories of the past that didn't connect to the ending. Despite that great book to read if you have the time. Personally like a separate peace for non fictional novels.
"Thick accent"
I was very interested in the story and was really looking forward to listening to this, but the narrator's accent is simply too thick to listen to for a long amount of time.
The accent isn't difficult to understand, and is perfectly fine for a short amount of time, but listening to it for hours on end is exhausting and I had to give up.
I'd recommend reading this book over listening to this audiobook recording.
"This book sucks"
This book really was terrible because the boy is really un relateable and he killed his own dog. This book was so bad that if you buy it your wasting your money. Unless you have to read it for school than I feel sorry for you.(I had to read it for school) So basically what I'm saying is that book is so bad than anyone who thinks it's good doesn't know what their talking about.
"Narrator sucks"
The narrator was great over all but was skipping words and adding words that are not there. Also the accent was hard to understand the words.
These are the reasons why I rated this so poor.
"This book was some buthole"
This book was so bad I clawed my face of. So yea it was shit.
"Positive Uplifting True Story"
Really enjoyed this book. Its a true story and he even has a TED talk.

Leya is badass an needs lovable challanges perhaps?
I love that Elcor. "Terrified. what have I gotten myself into?"
I. Want. That. Elcor.
I like the Santa hat on the quarian.
Aw it's a baby elcor! And if that turian kid were cuter I'd so kidnap his scaly ass. Your style is so free and fun I can't get enough!
Resounding Sorrow-Mom, Jeffrey is throwing rocks at me again.
They are ALL cute ^-^
They are. Dammit to hell that they aren't real. I still want the turian kid though. And the krogan looks naturally pissed XD
the brad and angelina of the galaxy but you know 10X better
That elcor about to destroy the other team
"No! I collect alien babies!"
Do you play ME3 on PS3 or Xbox? I would like to add you if you don't mind =X
J'y joue sur PC uniquement, mais sur le compte de mon conjoint, donc c'est pas super pratique pour les contacts
Oh, I'm waiting for that Elcor with cannons on his back...
He's Bernie :3
Wait one second... Does that mean that all those mission are actually a bunch of kiddies playing soldier!
No ?
So freakin adorable. I'd set up these fights too if I were-OHMYGLOB Shep's a pirate!!
One does not simply adopt a SINGLE alien child.
Seriously, I love this, even if it aggrivated my teeth a little. <3

So... adorable! Can't... handle... the cuteness!
you know they can clone new parts for people in the future, or hell build a prostetic for them
Not sure after having destroyed half of the galaxy's technology in a giant space-explosion.
Well the only thing destroyed was the synthetic stuff, by that I mean our VI's and AI's (witch were instrumental for much of our tech) but we have the ability to rebuild the VI's again no prob, the computers are still there and the programers would be racing each other for who could come out with the first multi purpose VI (construction, omnitool, medical uses etc) cause they would make a fortune as Everyone Needs VI's
Well, the structures are lost, but not necessarily the knowledge on how to make it. Besides, in the Destroy endings the Mass relays are fixed after a while, which means that there is indeed enough knowledge going about. If you can fix relays, im pretty sure u can fix an arm.
Dat baby Elcor......... and dat baby krogan.................. so cuteh :3

Sugoi koto @Shuichi!
Instead of Century Gothic I recommend a more modern slab serif font like Museo and the letter spacing is too big, a 33% smaller spacing looks way better.
Also the pin should be set on the 2nd 'o' so it will be centered to give balance to the logo and also because it will give an emphasis to "coco" (which I presume is derived from the Japanese "koko" which means "here") and visually separates it from "iru" which means "to be/ to exist".
I hope you like my proposal.
Ja na!

All-Star watch: Smith or a pitcher?
Early look at Padres candidates for Midsummer Classic
Midsummer Classic bound?
More than likely, the Padres will send a pitcher to the Midsummer Classic. Seth Smith continues to provide San Diego's most consistent even if he doesn't come with as much pizzazz that Giancarlo Stanton, Yasiel Puig, Justin Upton, Carlos Gomez and Andrew McCutchen would. Shortstop Everth Cabrera may be turning a corner in some regard, but pitching remains the Padres chief source of All-Star Game candidates.
OF Seth Smith
The first-year Padres outfielder leads the team in average (.315), on-base percentage (.568), slugging (.568) and homers (six). Even with Carlos Quentin back in the fold, Smith remains a must-play option for Padres manager Bud Black.
RP Huston Street
Although Sunday's effort was rockier than previous outings, Street remains perfect in save conversions, with his 14 tied for fifth in the NL. Better yet, Street's 1.42 ERA is at least a run better than anyone ahead of him on that list.
SP Andrew Cashner
With each passing day, concerns about Cashner's elbow wanes, although how he bounces back from today's bullpen session will be the great indicator of his long-term health. Cashner is tops on the starting staff with a 2.35 ERA and has allowed just two homers in nine starts.
SP Ian Kennedy
Kennedy's ERA (3.69) has slipped a bit over his last three starts, but only four NL pitchers have more strikeouts than the 72 he has piled up in 67 2/3 innings: Johnny Cueto (85), Stephen Strasburg (81), Adam Wainwright (77) and Madison Bumgarner (75).
SS Everth Cabrera
The Padres aren't as interested in Cabrera's power as they are his plate patience, but it sure is nice to see someone drive the ball the way Cabrera has done over his last 11 games (three homers, .444 slugging). Still, Cabrera's 48-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio is a lot to overcome if Cabrera is truly going to pen a second All-Star campaign.

Interview: 'Luck' creator David Milch on the series' premature end
Though there are a few moments in tonight's "Luck" suggesting creator David Milch had a premonition that the series would be abruptly canceled due to the third horse death during production, Milch told me in an interview on Friday that he never had it in his mind that this would be a series finale. (You can read my finale review here.) In fact, if the ultimate decision-making power on this fell in Milch's hands, the show would have continued, though he says he understands and supports what HBO chose to do.
Instead, it became the third Milch series that HBO has canceled before he was finished telling his story, following "Deadwood" (and he had some illuminating things to say on that subject) and "John From Cincinnati." Because my old partner Matt Zoller Seitz did such a thorough job interviewing Milch and Michael Mann about what exactly happened to the horse, the safety precautions the show took, and about allegations that the horses were mistreated, I didn't go over that ground again. I highly recommend reading Matt's interview before this one. And if you want to know even more details of the approach team "Luck" took to horse safety, I've been given a copy of the show's official safety protocols, plus this note from Milch and Mann:
Here are LUCK's protocols and safety procedures. They were stricter than anywhere in the equine world and were in place during the production of LUCK's 2,500 horse/runs at Santa Anita. This is in response to the distortions and fabrications stated by PETA about the care of horses on the LUCK production and on behalf of the horse trainers, wranglers, exercise riders, veterinarians and grooms who – with concern and caring – looked after those horses
Michael Mann + David Milch
You can download the safety protocols document here.
In the 15+ years I've been interviewing Milch, I've never heard him as emotional as he sounded on Friday. I'm not sure it quite comes across in text, but the best way I can put it is this: like the college professor he used to be, Milch is generally expansive with his commentary, sometimes to a fault, where here he kept his answers brief because it wasn't an easy subject to discuss. This project is something he's been hoping to make for a very long time, a marriage of his vocation and his avocation, and not only did it disappear out from under him in a snap, but he's now being accused of mistreating horses, when he's had a deep love for horses going back to when he was a little boy. There was a lot of pain and sadness — but not, I should say, anger, as he understands why this happened — in his voice as we spoke about the decision to halt production permanently, the differences between this and the "Deadwood" finale (including a fact about that episode that I never knew before), what might have come later, and a whole lot more, all coming up just as soon as I'm an airport profiler...
What were the conversations like that day, between the time when production was suspended and when the decision was made, "Alright, we can't go forward anymore"?
Angry incredulity.
Who was it who ultimately made that call? Was it you and Michael? Was it HBO?
It was HBO, definitively. There was back and forth about it, but their feeling was so clearly that the situation was untenable, that there was really no protracted dispute. We were presented with an accomplished fact. And I don't say that with any resentment. They made the decision they felt they had to make.
But had it been up to you, would that have been the decision?
No, I guess I would have continued. In no way was there any irresponsibility or failure of care in the treatment of those horses. I satisfied myself with that repeatedly. I don't know if you're familiar with the details of how this horse died —
I read the interview you and Michael did with Matt Seitz, so I know a little.
This was an incident equivalent to you walking down the street, being frightened by something, taking a misstep and falling. The horse was not being asked to do anything remotely dangerous or that would put him in jeopardy. In any case, this was something that generated its own momentum and fed off itself. Corporately, I absolutely understand what HBO felt were the necessities of its position. But substantively, there was no dereliction at all on our part.
One of the questions I've heard asked in the wake of the cancellation was whether you could have continued the show without filming new racing scenes, whether using CGI horses or some kind of stock footage.
That was a possibility that was examined. The horses are of the essence of the piece. We really weren't doing anything — you need the horses around. It's like asking an actor to act in company with a cartoon. Long-term, it would've been an erosion of the credibility of the material.
Given your passion for this world and how long it took you to get this on the air, how does it feel to have it go away this quickly?
It's a sick feeling. You realize, what Swearengen used to say, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans." We're creatures of forces so other than and more powerful than we are, that it's an illustion to believe anything else, and it's an occasion for gratitude wen you're able to sustain your endeavor and fate and experience accommodates it. I say that with no bitterness at all towards HBO. As I say, I think they were in an untenable position.
How do you mean? Just the bad publicity?
Yeah. Anytime something happened, as it would inevitably have happened, they were going to get lambasted again. Corporately, they just can't withstand that.
I watched the finale again yesterday, and there are a number of moments and lines that feel prophetic — like Marcus saying, "Today's the day they take it all away from us," or Ace's speech at the end — like they were designed to be in a series finale. And that's always how I've viewed the last "Deadwood" episode; like it was a series finale without being intended as one. Were you ever thinking as you wrote this that there would be a chance you wouldn't get to do more?
No, there was no sense of that on my part. By way of contrast, I absolutely knew when I was writing the last "Deadwood" that it would be the last, and I wrote it intending it as the finale.
Interesting. I had never heard that before.
That's the case. I was trying — the last images of Swearengen scrubbing the bloodstain and saying "Wants me to tell him something pretty," that was as close as I felt I could come to a concluding speech.
So you knew even at that point in production that HBO was not going to go forward?
Yes, I did know that. How did the episode hold up for you?
The "Luck" finale? Very well.
Yeah. (pause) We would have found our stride. I don't think that we had conclusively, but the materials were moving in that direction. It was too bad. It was too bad.
What do you think were some of the things that needed to be improved? Or what were the parts of the show where you felt you were close to that direction?
The extent to which the character of Bernstein was living in self-deception was in the process of being revealed. As he encountered that fact and lived into the necessities of his situation, I think he was going to become a more transitive character. And that was very much in the process of being realized. But I try not to think about it too much. (laughs)
(Note: When I interviewed Milch and Mann at press tour in January, I asked Milch whether Ace and Walter never sharing any scenes together in the first season was by design, or if — like much of his work — things just turned out that way.
He responded, "It wasn't planned, but these are characters who have not discovered themselves as yet such as to make their intersection fruitful. They come together right at the beginning of the second season and it is every bit as provisional and tentative a coming together as you would expect, but these are both you know. You know Dickens used the expression "mind- forged manacles." These are isolates of one kind and another and they have a civil exchange with each other, but to expect more from them would be unrealistic. They have to find more of themselves first." Which leads us to this... )
At the end of the interview in January, you and I spoke about how Ace and Walter would come together at the start of the second season. Looking back, Ace's story is largely separate from everyone else's. Was that something that you realized as you were going on that maybe he was too far apart from the rest of the world?
Yes. I agree with that. It assumed a little bit too much of the viewer, I think.
Since we're not going to see it play out, what exactly was Ace's plan in regards to Mike? The best explanation I've seen was from one of my commenters, who suggests that Ace wants Mike to steal the casino deal out from under him, and that Mike will go to prison as a result because it's crooked. Is that it?
Yeah, that's pretty close. When you compress it, invariably you distort it. You obviously have to do what you think is appropriate, but my own preference is not to linger too much on the would have beens of this show.
Okay, then let's look back on what was instead. In these nine episodes that you were able to make, what do you feel were the strengths of it? What are some scenes you would point to as the show you had in your head all these years?
That's a good question. Everything that demonstrates the human capacity for perseverance and self-deception simultaneously. Those are the scenes that I like. I recall with affection so many of the scenes with the degenerates and that connection. And I enjoyed very much writing the scenes between Gus and Bernstein. In some ways, I felt that those two sets of relationships mirrored each other.
Watching the show, it really did feel like your heart was particularly in the scenes with the four degenerates.
That's right. If I were to point to a favorite scene, I guess it would be the Niagara Falls scene, where they were doing the exegesis of Niagara Fall as opposed to Niagara Falls, and what the might possibly mean.
Now that this is done, are you moving full-force onto the William Faulkner project?
Yes. We were just working on the concluding section of "Light in August" when you called. I had the privilege of working on that with my daughter, Olivia. So it's a compounded pleasure. I'm hopeful that HBO will be receptive. I have no reason to think they won't be.
This is the third time now you've done a show for them and the third time it's ended before you were intending it to end. Are you still okay with the relationship?
Absolutely. Each set of circumstances was unique. You'll have to ask them whether they are (laughs), but to this point, they have been as supportive a partner as one could want or imagine. It's my experience that it isn't a useful exercise to try and figure out the other fellow's state of mind. I'm going to keep carrying the water, and we'll hope that the exercise is well-received.
