In the wake of the attempt by a Nigerian to blow up a US-bound plane on Christmas day, security at airports across the country has been tightened, with full-body scanners expected to be installed at the O'Hare International Airport here by next year.
The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) plans to bring the full passenger body-scanning equipment, which see through a person's clothing to detect suspicious packages or weapons, at the airport by the first 3-4 months of 2010, Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie Andolino told reporters on Wednesday.
"The full body scanners are coming to O'Hare. We have a large volume of people that comes to O'Hare and we need to ensure that the equipment works properly. The process is moving forward," Andolino said.
She, however, did not give further details on how many scanners would be installed and their locations at the airport as that would be determined by the TSA.
The move comes days after Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a plane with explosives hidden under his clothes. He was able to get past security check as standard metal detectors failed to detect the explosives at Amsterdam airport.
For full body scans, passengers would be required to stand inside a phone booth—sized compartment, raise their hands over the head and place both feet, legs spread apart, on markings on the floor.
In a process that takes seconds, weapons or other banned items would appear on a screen as darker than skin.
Screeners would view images of both male and female passengers. But only screeners of the same sex would conduct physical pat-downs.
As airports work toward improving security since the Christmas day bombing attempt, the debate over installing such scanners is heating up.
While facial features are blurred, the scanners reveal images of body parts, raising privacy concerns.
Giving an update on airport security at O'Hare, the Department of Aviation Commissioner said passengers need to remain vigilant as the holiday travel season winds down.
She said more police and security officers would be deployed at the city's O'Hare and Midway airports, adding that passengers should be aware of their surroundings and report anything suspicious.
Andolino said the Aviation Department expects 1.5 million passengers to travel through the two airports during the days up to the new year.

Members of the New Hampshire Police Pipes and Drums, left to right, Jim Carney and Dave Myer, play bagpipes in the ConVal Regional High School parking lot as the coffin of Marine Brandon Garabrant is brought outside. (Meghan Pierce)
Garabrant "paid the ultimate sacrifice for us," said U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte during the service. "We owe our freedom to Brandon and to men and women like him. There's no question our world is a better and safer place because of Brandon."
Speaking to Garabrant's family -- parents John Garabrant and Jessie Evans Garabrant, sister Mykala Garabrant and brother Jacob Garabrant, Ayotte said, "I am deeply humbled to be here to honor the life of your son and brother, Corporal Brandon Garabrant, a true American hero," Ayotte said. "Brandon was an extraordinary young man. … He lived life wholly, he lived life selflessly. Brandon faced dangerous situations with courage."
About 1,400 people attended the service inside the gym. Along with Ayotte, Gov. Maggie Hassan, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Congresswomen Annie Kuster and Carol Shea-Porter, were in attendance.
Hundreds more gathered along Route 202 holding American flags and many holding signs of Garabrant's favorite bible verse, Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
Additionally more than 500 motorcyclists, including several veterans' motorcycle groups and individual veterans, gathered in the parking lot and the middle school parking lot down the road and joined the motorcade to the burial after the funeral.
June 20, Garabrant was one of three Marines killed by a roadside bomb in Helmand Providence, Afghanistan. The 19-year-old Marine grew up in Greenfield and graduated from ConVal in 2013.
During his funeral service Pastor Brent M. Charles, who was Garabrant's spiritual advisor growing up as a member of Jaffrey Bible Church, said Garabrant lived a kind and courageous life of service, and is remembered for his perpetual smile.
In his last moments Garabrant was rushing with fellow Marines to help their brothers in arms who themselves had been ambushed down the road by an IED, Charles said.
Ayotte recounted Garabrant's service to his community through his church, his work at Touchstone Farm in Temple and at Summer Hill Retirement in Peterborough and as a firefighter.
"Brandon was all about helping people," Ayotte said. "Joining the Marines and serving his country was a natural extension of his life of service. … Sempra Fi was a way of life for Brandon."
Along with the large Marine, other military personnel, and veterans attendance -- area police and firefighters attended in large numbers to honor Garabrant.
He was a Police and Fire Explorer in Peterborough and a Temple firefighter before he joined the Marines.
At the close of the service Marines acting a pall-bearers carried Garabrant's coffin out of the gym and to the parking lot where they placed it in the back of a Temple fire truck for its journey to the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen for burial.

Accessibility: the benefits and challenges of Web 2.0
The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies has created opportunities for the visualisation of much information on the web. For example, a dashboard showing the current state of a business can summarise a great deal of information on a single page and highlight areas of interest or concern. Unfortunately, the way this information is …
Hmm...what benefits are for those who is Deaf?
Hmm, what about the Deaf user(s)?
Sooo 1998
And the point of this article was?
Something considered on the opportunities for the cognitively disabled in the light of rich semantics of Web 2.0 might match with the title - but since 80% of developers can't be arsed adding alt tags, who are we kidding anyway.
Its far from the most interesting of stuff going on in accessibility in any case .... I suppose it would be too much to hope for some coverage of the horrors of WCAG2... or how WAI has gone to hell in a IBM handcart.
What a load of 'old hat'
These accessibility issues and solutions have been around for years .. what exactly was the point of this article??

TOPEKA, Kan. -- The major story of the weekend has to be the crash of Winston Champion Gary Scelzi. After a major engine explosion Friday, the team opted to bring out their backup car yesterday, and when Scelzi crashed that chassis in Round 3 qualifying it looked like the team was out for the weekend. But they refused to throw in the towel, electing to try and repair their badly damaged chassis.
Fortunately, chassis builder Brad Hadman was here, and he led a bevy of volunteers over to the nearby Neil & Parks chassis shop, where they stripped away everything except the bare tubing from the footbox to the rear of the roll cage, which was undamaged in the crash. Hadman took the front end off the car they discarded Friday, a rear chassis section borrowed from John Mitchell's Montana Express team, and went to work rebuilding the battered dragster. Meanwhile, Alan Johnson and part of the Team Winston crew stayed at the track, preparing a powerplant and associated parts for the car.
Hadman and crew left the track at just before 4pm yesterday afternoon, completed their work last night by 11pm, and by 12:30am the car was back here at the track and a brand new engine was being installed. This morning, the car has a wing borrowed from Jim Head's Checker-Schuck's-Kragen dragster, and the crew is busy with their usual last minute pre-race preparations, having now done what many considered impossible just eighteen hours before.

This sound great at low to midrange RPM. I love the sound they make when you let off the gas. Sound very nice and throaty at startup and at idle. and ever better at take off. Not too much drone. Great product.

If you want a deep aggressive sounding exhaust look no further the super 10 is the muffler for you. I had it installed on a 1999 f150 5.4l v8 and it really brings out the v8 sound. I had it dumped right before the rear axel and it doesn't drone that bad you do here it at highway speeds but it is a flowmaster so it will have a bit of drone. I would definitely buy this muffler again

Ireland Topics
Democracy Now! stories, posts and pages that relate to Ireland
For most of the last 28-years, Northern Ireland has been at war. On the one side stands the Irish Republican Army and other organizations generally called Nationalists or Republicans, who are fighting for a united Ireland and against official discrimination towards Catholics and Irish Nationalists in the British-ruled province.Nov 07, 1997 | Story
Peace talks between Britain and Irish Republicans began this week in Northern Ireland. But yesterday a bomb exploded at a police station outside Belfast, a blast which — if nothing else — highlighted the problems that lay ahead in any negotiated solution to the political crisis in Northern Ireland. There was no claim of responsibility for the bomb.Sep 17, 1997 | Story
When Ireland won independence from British rule in 1921, six counties in the north of the country were carved out and remained under the control of London. The six counties were specifically chosen because they contained a Protestant majority. The Protestants had enjoyed economic and political privileges since their ancestors settled in the region and established plantations and other businesses in the 17th and 18th centuries. But they saw...Aug 12, 1997 | Story

Apple cuts prices of refurbished iPad 2s by as much as $50Apple on Friday quietly reduced the prices of its refurbished iPad 2 units even further, offering as much as $100 off the price of a new unit and $50 less than the previous refurbished prices for some models.
The new discounts at Apple's online store apply to both Wi-Fi-only and 3G-capable versions of the iPad 2. Prices now start at $419 for the refurbished 16GB Wi-Fi iPad 2, a savings of $80 off its regular price.
The discounts grow to $100 starting with the 32GB Wi-Fi model, which is priced at $499 refurbished. Similarly, the high-end 32GB Wi-Fi model is available for $599, or 14 percent off the regular price.
Apple is also selling the entry-level 16GB 3G-equipped models for $80 off, with the 12 percent discount leaving a price of $549. Like with the Wi-Fi-only models, the savings grow to $100 starting with the 32GB 3G model for $629, and 64GB for $729.
All refurbished products from Apple are tested and certified, and they include a one-year warranty. The refurbished iPad units also include a brand new battery and outer shell.
Previously, a refurbished iPad 2 came with a $50 discount, pricing the entry-level 16GB model at $449. Friday's increased discounts offer an additional $30 off all 16GB models, while the 32GB and 64GB capacities have been doubled from $50 off to $100.

Cave Creek vandals threaten Obama
Send this to a friend
Vandals spray painted "Kill Obama" on campaign signs in Cave Creek, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office reported Thursday.
The vandalism occurred on campaign signs for upcoming Cave Creek referendums on zoning and a planned Walmart store. The signs were located on Cave Creek Road, one in front of a business.
"This is a complete disgrace and gross act towards our president. My deputies are looking into all avenues of the incident, as it is a top priority," said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
There are no known witnesses, or suspects, the MCSO said.

A word from Bronwyn
BRONWYN is a restaurant and bar located in Union Square, Somerville, featuring the cuisine of Germany and greater Central and Eastern Europe. Chef Tim Wiechmann draws on his cultural heritage to create hand-crafted sausages, schnitzels, traditional noodles and specialties such as Riesling sauerkraut and giant pretzels. An extensive list of bier and regional wein has been curated to enhance the cuisine. The chef's wife, Bronwyn, is the restaurant's namesake. The interior of BRONWYN embodies the rusticity of a European tavern and is adorned with the handcrafted treasures of the Chef's travels and his family's heirlooms. Upon entering the restaurant, one is reminded of the artistic spirit that imbues the neighborhood of Union Square.Continued

- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 11/21/2014We were very excited to try Bronwyn and we were Not disappointed!! Great staff, fantastic food and fun atmosphere. We will definitely be returning....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worthwhile Wurst!jttamDined on 11/15/2014Bronwyn provided excellent fare. The wursts were delicious, the bretzel brilliant, and overall it was a lovely experience. I enjoyed the Julius Echter Dunkelweiss beer. The staff were attentive and friendly but not overwhelming. Overall it was a lovely place!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unexpected winnerDimmyDined on 11/14/2014Frankly, we were just looking for any early dining option and my wife had heard of Bronwyn. The online menu didn't sound too amazing. We arrived early, so I really can't speak to the bar ambiance, but our waiter was fabulous, offering us wine, beer (great draught menu), and food advice that was spot on. The food is a bit confusing but delicious, and the beers were fabulous. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the Renaissance fairestarlingtonVIPDined on 11/13/2014Don't be fooled by the dark wood and throne chairs. Bronwyn is a great restaurant. We were greeted at the door as if they already knew us - surprising, which sort of sets the tone. The drink list is really good. We only looked at the beers and wines, but good strong selections in both. Gruner veltliners, Rieslings and so forth. I might avoid the overly floral east European wines tho. I opted for the sparkling Riesling, which was scrumptious. We decided to split the wurst trio for a starter and it had probably the best sausages I've ever had. I spent well over two years in Germany and I know what I like. I liked this. Then, for dinner I had the rye noodles with a German blue cheese sauce. Again, the best blue cheese sauce I've ever had. And it had toasted pistachios! Yum. My husband got the spicy squid goulash. Sounds weird, tastes absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, by then, we were stuffed so we did not try the desserts, but the digestive menu looked really interesting. I was tempted by the schnapps list. Real German schnapps is nothing like the sugary, syrupy dreck that sometimes passes as schnapps here. Schnapps can be as smooth as cognac. But alas, we were driving. Next time...which will be soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't be put off by German cuisineCherrypieVIPDined on 11/12/2014Wagyu beef brisket and sweet and sour boar are must haves! succulent tender meat, with great flavor and beautifully served. The small dining room behind the bar feels a little cramped at first, but you don't really notice being disturbed by other diners. A bit out of the way but well worth the tripSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice Attempt...A Swing and MissddemarcoVIPDined on 11/8/2014Great Atmosphere and super selection of beers as well as creative cocktails...but that is where it ends. The food was lacking luster to stand up to the large amount of competition in the surrounding neighborhood(s). They need to step outside the box to make this one fit for foodies. The truth Hurts but there is time to recover.Special Features:
- Best German Food in MassachusettscalinestonyfordDined on 11/5/2014As a German, I can testify to the authenticity of this amazing German restaurant in Union Square. Their hot pretzels, pumpkin soup, sausage platter and potato salad are to die for. You also get mustard with the pretzels and in the potato salad, which makes the whole experience a delicious one.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GermanChristopherDined on 11/1/2014Great beers and great meats. The oversized chairs and great big table made the space feel like an old german beer hall.Special Features:
- Authentic German/Eastern EuropeanFridaDined on 10/31/2014Went with a friend to Bronwyn on a Friday night (Halloween). Great beer selections and the food was good also. Dessert menu was a trifle scanty: only two options (German Chocolate cake and a warm fruity "pastete"). The food was very authentic (I've lived in Deutschland for two years) and tasty. Noise level was not bad at all (sit in room that does not have the bar if that's your interest).Special Features:

- hard2plzhard2plzDined on 10/19/2014Our first time there and we were impressed. Beer selection is outstanding and the food really lived up to the claims for its central European flavor. Noise was a bit loud for good conversation, but not too bad. Staff want music while they work and diners would like to talk to each other!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful Dining ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/19/2014As with every meal I have had at TW Food, every dish was phenomenal, the service was lovely and the atmosphere comfortable, yet very appropriate for the menu. This was my second visit to Bronwyn, and while the outdoor seating is a nice reprieve from the bustle of Union Square, eating inside on a cool autumn evening feels like the perfect setting to enjoy some dark beer, thoughtfully prepared dishes and a beautiful meal with friends.Special Features:
- Excellent German foodinfinitejeffDined on 10/19/2014Friendly staff, nice variety of choices on the menu.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent taste, sparse portionsAhartpanVIPDined on 10/18/2014We were looking forward to an authentic German style restaurant after seeing Chef Tim on "Beat Bobby Flay". The flavors were excellent, but we were disappointed to leave hungry (main dishes in the $20+ range). Our party of 3 had 2 appetizers and 3 main dishes. The beverage menu was huge but the food selections were limited. The dessert menu arrived with 1 item and another 1.5 pages of beverage options. I was planning a larger party there for my birthday dinner later this month, but I have since cancelled that reservation. The server was knowledgeable and helped us make decisions, but unfortunately, any of the beers we wanted to try were out, and his recommendation that was in was not to my preference. Disappointing overall experience.
- Just ok; Not for larger groupsAlisonDined on 10/18/2014Food and beer was good, and service was good until it got crowded and noisey. Our server got a bit flustered with our group of 6 adults one toddler in a high chair and ended up rushing us out and completely forgot to serve the birthday cake I requested for my husbands birthday. We had already paid the almost $400 bill at this point and she seemed annoyed that I still wanted the birthday cake even though we already paid. The hostess kept walking by our table to see if we were gone so we definitely felt the pressure to get up and leave because of the growing crowd. I probably won't go back. Maybe only to drink beer at the bar! Food was good for a one time experience only. I'm not dying to go back because of the food.Special Features:
- Amazing German FoodCport135VIPDined on 10/14/2014I've been to Bronwyn multiple times and it is amazing! Between the beer cheese soup, spaetzle, and lots of wurst options there is something for everyone and it is all wonderful. The only downside is that I've never really enjoyed their cocktails so I would recommend skipping those and getting a beer in a huge mug.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative Somerville German!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 10/10/2014The food at Bronwyn is delicious: rooted in German tradition but incorporating the ideas of the local, organic food movement. Everything had a slight (better) twist than its traditional counterpart. We sampled the Oktoberfest set menu: homemade pretzels were delicious, as was the pumpkin soup and cabbage and roasted pear salad. The wursts, ribs and pork were all incredible, as were the German dumplings, made fresh with the addition of kale and mushrooms. Bronwyn is a true foodie gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Won't be backMickVIPDined on 10/10/2014Our second visit was mixed. No reservations available after 5:30 so we rushed over in heavy traffic. If you like loud oom-pah music, you'll love it, but hey it was Ocktoberfest! Good food and service by waitress in fetching German costume, the original wonder bra. But she couldn't handle splitting the tab for our party of 5 by 60/40, putting more on the wrong card and less on the wrong card. From the receipts we'll be sorting this out for days to come, and one charge has still not shown up on my card. Best of all, going outside to find a $50 ticket on wife's car for parking in a resident permit only zone. By the light of day, it's clearly posted. OK for a business dinner, $50 you can deduct, but for most don't go to Slumerville.

Bronwyn claims to feature the food of eastern and central Europe. They are exactly what they claim, so if that sounds appealing, you should go. Great beer list. We loved the pickles!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The venison pastrami alone is worth the trip. Excellent middle-European wines, and still that amazing beer selection, all wrapped in excellent service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/17/2014Billy killed it on the bar!

- Another great experiencestreakerfreakDined on 9/7/2014We decided to come here for my 31st birthday since it has become my favorite restaurant. As close to a true German dining experience one can get here in the US. They still don't carry my favorite Bavarian Beer (König Ludwig Weiss) and their German beer selection is a bit uninspired, but the food is amazing and I love the ambiance. Can't get enough of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Service Put It Over The TopofftopicDined on 8/31/2014We arrived just as it started to rain heavily, driving already seated customers from the patio inside. Even though we had a reservation, there were all of a sudden too many diners for the number of indoor tables. The maître d' and the servers more than made up for the inconvenience. Even though we ended up seated at the bar, service was extra attentive and we got freebies from the kitchen. The food was very tasty and definitely a couple of steps up from the usual German/Austrian restaurants in this area. Still authentic, but with a bit of a fine dining foodie flair to it. The beer and wine list is great, and the servers did an excellent job suggesting beers to go with what we ordered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Findfood4twoDined on 8/30/2014The unusual name drew us to this specific restaurant. I had made the reservation on line and was pleasantly surprised that they seated us in a semi-private area near the windows. Great ambiance and good service. My companion ordered the brisket, serving was a bit too small and fatty, but mostly the menu mentioned cumin-orange spices, but the smell and taste of the dish had a very strong "curry' flavor. Otherwise, definitely worth the dining experience. Excellent beer and wine selections.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A little noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/29/2014Food was good, and the service really nice. Very limited menu with few choices of the old standards.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/27/2014Good food , as far as German food goes, (as we went with a German friend).However, slim picking if you're mostly a veggie/salad person who eats primarily fish and is not big on sausages etc. So not really a critique, but diners should look at menu and realize choices are narrow. Good beer choices. Wine a bit limited.Special Features:
- Awesome German Beer!!Halo1Dined on 8/26/2014Best parts of our first experience at Bronwyn: house beer!!!, house pretzel!!!, imported beer selection, waitstaff Parts in need of some improvement: Dine Out week menu / food. It was pretty good, but not great.Special Features:
- A FindthecfamilyDined on 8/23/2014Our son chose Bronwyn from the August Boston restaurant list because it features German food, There were four in our party and we all loved loved the food, drink, and service. Our waiter was Phillip but they use a team of well trained staff who know all the food and drink items and work quickly and efficiently to get your food and drinks to you right away. They also have a great presence on the floor and keep your water glass full. For us it was a new find although they told us they were there for over a year. We will to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unique and very deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/23/2014What a great find in Union Square! Finally some excellent German-style cuisine without all the heft. Excellent use of herbs (not sugar and salt) to add flavor to fresh and local ingredients. Friendly and very attentive service. Will definitely look forward to a return visit.Special Features:
- Excellent German Cuisine.FoodiefromBostonDined on 8/23/2014Delicious authentic German food with an excellent selection of German and other European beers.

The service was excellent as well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good food, but......ShaynaVIPDined on 8/20/2014My husband and I had been wanting to try Bronwyn and Restaurant Week was the lure to finally make the trip. Not being familiar with Union Square, we had a bit of trouble finding it but did succeed. We were seated promptly by a lovely hostess who was happy to answer our questions about the menu. It didn't take long to figure out that the Restaurant Week menu was no bargain. We decided to order what we wanted and had a lovely meal. We shared the small sausage plate for an appetizer and then shared the sauerbraten and spaetzle. All were yummy. We also ordered the bread basket and a German chocolate cake for dessert. Overall, we enjoyed the food and the authentic feeling atmosphere. But the heavy cuisine means we won't be back often.Special Features:
- Everything is tinged with 'yuck'BradVIPDined on 8/17/2014Too much grains and chunks in the bread or no flavor at all... Lemon in the butter. Horseradish in the potato pancakes... It is like eating with the Addams family. Gross.
- Okay German foodnonplussed8Dined on 8/16/2014Pretty good, but sausages lacked bite and pickled salads weren't very vinegar-y or flavorful. A comparable restaurant in Germany would serve the same stuff more simply and with less fuss. The outdoor seating area was lovely and not too loud.Special Features:

Kenzaburo Oe, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1994, has always been a novelist concerned with big, important ideas and big, important problems, and yet his works are always written on a much smaller scale, focusing on that one individual character and how he is affected by the world around him. One may never read a narrative so intimate and personal as Oe's, which leads to some pretty dark places. It's like reading someone's private diary—inherently compelling, but afterwards you're left with a sick, guilty feeling with the realization that you learned some things that probably should have been well left alone.
Oe has a profoundly honest view of what it is to be human, especially the parts we don't always like to acknowledge: the selfish, self-destructing, contradictory parts. And Oe seems to achieve this power because his works really are very personal—events from his own life are often the main events of his novels, often with little dress up. Obviously writers draw from personal experience, but Oe's seem to be the most transparent and forthcoming about the events in his life, for instance the well of novels, including A Personal Matter, that have sprung up because of his handicapped son Hikari.
The Changeling, Oe's most recently translated novel published by Grove Press, is a work that directly addresses the relationship between fact and fiction in literature. The protagonist of the story is an established sixty-odd year old Japanese author who is sent a case of cassette tapes from his brother-in-law, a friend since their teenage years and now a famous movie director. The tapes are a series of monologues by the brother-in-law, in which he reminisces about their relationship over the years along with ruminations about their mutual artistic endeavors. On the last tape, the brother-in-law cryptically announces that he is now "going to the Other Side", and then, nothing but a loud thump. And as soon as the protagonist hears this, his wife comes in to tell him that his brother-in-law was found dead—he had committed suicide by jumping off the roof of his office building.
The rest of the novel follows the protagonist as he tries to piece together why his brother-in-law committed suicide. He obsesses over the contents of the tapes by starting a nightly ritual of "talking" to his dead friend, an addiction so compelling he takes a year-long guest professorship at a university in Berlin to leave the tapes behind and free himself. However, the majority of the novel is set in periodic flashbacks, highlighting important events in their lives that led them down the paths they take today.
The Changeling is thus a long meditation on the power of real life events and how they shape a person and their fiction. It's both a love letter to the creative process, as well as a philosophical treatise on the power of art and the way it reflects an inescapable past. In a way, The Changeling feels like it might be a work more personal to Oe than even a novel like A Personal Matter. It's a direct view into the soul of Oe the writer, as opposed to Oe the father or Japanese citizen, and in a way, that's more powerful:
Perhaps the feeling of loss—even downfall—that accompanied his sense of relief was due to the constant awareness that he was growing old and irrelevant, and that he would live out the remainder of his days without ever being able to liberate the heart inside his skull from this vast collection of beloved, familiar books, which were an anchor but also, at times, an albatross.
The Changeling reads very well; the sentences, though often long, flow with ease and with a powerful narrative sweep. However, because the novel is in its essence more interested in certain philosophical ideas than the physical happenings of the plot, the characters, who are otherwise characterized and behave like human beings, often end up as mouthpieces for Oe, and talk almost exclusively in monologues instead of really talking to each other. The translation by Deborah Boliver Boehm is solid, although there are places where cultural explanations are awkwardly shoehorned into parentheses as opposed to being more integrated into the text. Finally, there is a seventy page long epilogue that suddenly switches perspectives to the protagonist's wife, which seems almost jarring after what seemed like a perfect conclusion by the protagonist; however, in the end it does tie the work together nicely and is the section from which the work gets its title.
The line between fact and fiction is blurred in The Changeling, and how the reader sees the novel can change depending on how much the reader knows about Kenzaburo Oe's personal life. It's amazing that the novel can work on these two completely different levels: as a total fabrication and as a work of fiction that can be traced along the lines of real life events. In any other novel, it would be irrelevant as to what personal experiences go into what, in the end, is supposed to be a piece of fiction. But in The Changeling, it's the novel's raison d'etre. The question of what is real and what is fiction, while interesting to ponder, are overshadowed by the real question: which one, in the end, is more important to not just the reader, but to the author.

* Rosneft to get at least $1.5 bln in pre-payment
* Follows BP-Rosneft shale oil exploration deal
(Adds further details, background)
KHABAROVSK/MOSCOW, Russia, June 27 (Reuters) - Rosneft signed on Friday its second major agreement with BP since sanctions were imposed on the Russian oil company's chief executive, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin, over Russia's involvement in the Ukraine crisis.
The five-year agreement will supply BP with up to 12 million tonnes of refined oil products and involves a pre-payment of at least $1.5 billion arranged by leading global financial institutions, Rosneft said.
Rosneft's entire annual refinery production capacity stands at nearly 90 million tonnes, according to company figures.
Some Western firms have been wary of investment and business in Russia since sanctions were imposed over the crisis in Ukraine, where Moscow denies accusations of orchestrating a rebellion by pro-Russian separatists.
But the sanctions have had only a limited impact on the Russian energy industry, a cornerstone of the country's $2-trillion economy, resulting mostly in higher borrowing costs for domestic companies.
Since the sanctions were imposed, executives from Total , BP, Statoil and ExxonMobil have visited Russia, underlining the importance they attach to business with the world's leading oil producer with current output of around 10.5 million barrels per day (bpd).
Last year, Rosneft announced deals worth more than $15 billion to sell crude oil and other products to BP, which now owns almost a fifth of Rosneft following Rosneft's acquisition of Anglo-Russian oil firm TNK-BP last year.
Friday's signing also follows an agreement by BP and Rosneft in May to jointly explore in Russia for hard-to-recover shale oil.
Such deals do not violate sanctions over the Ukraine crisis because Rosneft has not been included on any sanctions list, but Rosneft's chief executive Igor Sechin had a visa ban and asset freeze slapped on him by the United States after Russia annexed the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea from Ukraine in March.
"I am working here with Rosneft. It's a business between the companies. I don't comment on personal sanctions," BP's chief executive Bob Dudley told reporters in Khabarovsk in Russia's far east after attending the signing ceremony with other members of the Rosneft board of directors.
Rosneft did not disclose the name of the banks involved in arranging the pre-payment but said supplies to BP could start next month.
Bankers earlier this month said partly state-owned UK lender Lloyds Bank had pulled out of the $1.5-$2 billion trade finance deal to avoid risking any political embarrassment for its government.
The British bank, along with Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Bank of China, had been a mandated lead arranger on the loan, banking sources said.
Under the terms of the latest deal, Rosneft said oil product deliveries could be substituted for supplies of oil but gave no explanation of the circumstances under which this could happen.
Such pre-payment supply deals have raised billions of dollars for Rosneft, which borrowed $30.1 billion in two separate loans in 2012 and 2013 to help finance last year's $55 billion acquisition of TNK-BP, once Russia's third largest oil producer.
Last year Rosneft also agreed an $8.32 billion loan with commodity traders Glencore and Vitol and a $1.5 billion pre-payment loan with Swiss-based trading house Trafigura.
However, some Russian energy companies have recently been talking to their customers about a possible switch to using currencies other than the U.S. dollar in transactions to minimise sanction-related risks.
Other companies could also now follow the example of Surgutneftegas, Russia's fourth-biggest oil producer with an average daily output of 1.2 million barrels of crude, which according to its accounts has stockpiled over 1 trillion roubles ($30 billion) of cash instead of paying out higher dividends or making large acquisitions.
Meanwhile Lukoil, Russia's second-biggest oil producer, has postponed an up to $2 billion Eurobond issue until the autumn because of a spike in borrowing costs.

Tom Daley: I'm Dating a Guy, and Couldn't Be Happierby Free Britney at . Comments
British Olympic diving champion Tom Daley dove right into a major personal statement today, revealing via his YouTube page that he's now dating a man.
"This has been a hard decision to make, but I wanted you to hear this from me," Daley, 19, said to kick off the video (above), where he contunies:
"In spring this year my life changed massively when I met someone, and they make me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great."
"That someone is a guy. It did take me by surprise a little bit. It was always in my head that something like that could happen," Daley explained.
Without revealing the identity of his boyfriend, he adds:
"But it wasn't until spring this year that things just clicked. It felt right and I thought 'Okay' and my whole world changed there and then."
Daley, who won a bronze medal for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, hinted he's not about to put labels just yet on his sexuality.
"Of course I still fancy girls," he says, implying that he may date one again some day, "but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier."
In related news, over the weekend, actress Maria Bello revealed a gay relationship and discussed her "Modern Family" in an editorial in The New York Times.

What do you care? Ever win a medal? Of any kind? Get a diploma of any kind? Be employee of the month? Marry the mother of your children? Do something kind for someone for no reason? Try being a loving, kind, accepting person just for a day or two. Smile, say good morning, offer to help someone. Do something nice and personal for your girlfriend for no reason. Get to know someone before you judge them. That day will be a great day. You will have fun and feel great about yourself and others. Good luck.

From the time they hatch and bravely crawl towards the ocean, sea turtles face many obstacles like falling prey to crabs, gulls, and sharks—and only one in 1,000 to 10,000 are estimated to survive to adulthood. Even those sea turtles that beat the odds can find themselves wounded and threatened by fishing gear, plastics, and boat strikes.
