Asia Stocks Waver As Earnings, China Trade Weighed
BANGKOK (AP) â¿¿ Asian stock markets meandered Friday, largely holding on to gains sparked the day before by the Federal Reserve's vow to continue supporting the U.S. economy with low interest rates.
Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. needs "highly accommodative monetary policy" â¿¿ or low interest rates â¿¿ "for the foreseeable future." That reassured investors who were dismayed by Bernanke's comments last month that the Fed would likely slow its bond purchases later this year and end them around mid-2014 if the economy strengthens. Critics said the Fed bungled its communications strategy.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion of financial assets a month to keep interest rates low and encourage borrowing and spending. That stimulus has driven global stocks higher, so the prospect of reducing it caused market volatility in recent weeks.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index was up 0.2 percent at 14,506.25 while Hong Kong's Hang Seng dropped 0.7 percent to 21,278.22. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was up 0.2 percent at 4,973.20.Benchmarks in China, South Korea and Singapore fell while Taiwan, India, the Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia gained. A rise in U.S. jobless claims figures â¿¿ by 16,000 to a total of 360,000 â¿¿ didn't affect markets much. The level is consistent with steady hiring, though the increase suggests the recovery is still not as fast as hoped. Bernanke's comments boosted Wall Street to record highs Thursday. The S&P 500 index jumped 22.40 points, or 1.4 percent, to 1,675.02, surpassing its previous record close of 1,669 from May 21. The index rose for a sixth straight day, its longest streak in four months. The Dow rose 169.26 points, or 1.1 percent, to 15,460.92, above its own all-time closing high of 15,409 set May 28. The Nasdaq composite rose 57.55 points, or 1.4 percent, to 3,578.30, its highest level in nearly 13 years.

"The Culture represents the place we might hope to get to"
The long-term optimism comes from the the fact that no matter how bad things seem and how idiotically and cruelly we behave. . . well, we've got this far, despite it all, and there are more people on the planet than ever before, and more people living good, productive, relatively happy lives than ever before, and—providing we aren't terminally stupid, or unlucky enough to get clobbered by something we have no control over, like a big meteorite or a gamma ray buster or whatever—we'll solve a lot of problems just by sticking around and doing what we do; developing, progressing, improving, adapting. And possibly by inventing AIs that are smarter and more decent than we are, which will help us get some sort of perspective on ourselves, at the very least. We might just stumble our way blindly, unthinkingly into utopia, in other words, muddling through despite ourselves.In 2010 Jude Roberts interviewed Iain M. Banks for her PhD. Banks discusses his utopia, The Culture, which he created in a series of science fiction novels.

Why We Terraformed a New Home for Future Fiction: "Science fiction is an extremely powerful tool. Not for predicting the future, but for clarifying our present. We want to see that happening not just in monthly magazines, but on Reddit, Digg, and Facebook. We want fiction to be part of your feed." Vice has launched its new site for short-form science fiction, Terraform, with new stories by Bruce Sterling, Cory Doctorow, and "exciting newcomers."
Nature Special: Futures, adding some fiction into science, once a week

In 1983, Isaac Asimov won the Hugo Award for Best Novel for Foundation's Edge, in which he revisited his groundbreaking Foundation mythos for the first time in over thirty years.

Future Politics
Future Politics (PDF link) is a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign class by Jake Bowers on the political theory of science fiction and a great recommended reading and discussion list for the rest of us.
How can imagining the future help us understand the present? How does considering the future help us think critically about politics today?...The future hopes and imaginings of past political thinkers do not include either enough detail or enough information about our rapidly changing technological, social, political, and economic landscape to provide us with enough practice to confidently confront the future as citizens as it happens to us. Science fiction allows us a much more detailed view of life in alternative futures, and the writers that we choose to read here tend to think seriously and logically about how current cutting edge technology might have social and political ramifications — however, science fiction authors are also mostly working on a narrative and thus may skim over core concepts that ought to organize our thinking about politics and society. Thus, we read both together in order to practice a kind of theoretically informed futurism (which is not the same as prediction or forecasting, but is more like the practice of confronting the unexpected).

You invest so much in it, don't you? It's what elevates you above the beasts of the field, it's what makes you special. Homo sapiens, you call yourself. Wise Man. Do you even know what it is, this consciousness you cite in your own exaltation? Do you even know what it's for?Dr. Peter Watts is no stranger to MetaFilter. But look past his sardonic nuptials, heartbreaking eulogies, and agonizing run-ins with fascists (and fasciitis) and you'll find one of the most brilliant, compelling, and disquieting science fiction authors at work today. A marine biologist skilled at deep background research, his acclaimed 2006 novel Blindsight [full text] -- a cerebral "first contact" tale led by a diverse crew of bleeding-edge post-humans -- is diamond-hard and deeply horrifying, wringing profound existential dread from such abstruse concepts as the Chinese Room, the Philosophical Zombie, Chernoff faces, and the myriad quirks and blind spots that haunt the human mind. But Blindsight's last, shattering insight is not the end of the story -- along with crew/ship/"Firefall" notes, a blackly funny in-universe lecture on resurrecting sociopathic vampirism (PDF - prev.), and a rigorously-cited (and spoiler-laden) reference section, tomorrow will see the release of

Philip K Dick meets the more twisted stories of Isaac Asimov
Psycho-Pass is a fantastic anime written by Gen Urobuchi, the man who brought us 2011's brilliant Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Even if you are not an anime fan (I'm iffy on it myself), Psycho-Pass is worth checking out. Set in a "utopian" society where psychological profiles can be analyzed remotely, police carry guns that can only fire at would-be criminals, and aptitude tests determine how to provide "the greatest number of people with the greatest amount of happiness", Psycho-Pass asks intriguing, provocative questions about the relationships between humans and computers, criminals and society, and the responsibilities we owe society, versus the responsibilities said societies owe us in turn. There is also a good deal of people shooting each other, if you're into that sort of thing.
Psycho-Pass can be watched for free, either subbed or dubbed, at Hulu (as can Madoka if "lighthearted" "fantasy" is more your cup of tea).

Short sci-fi film about a meteor heading to Hong Kong, blocked by China
香港將於33年後毀滅 (Hong Kong will be destroyed after 33 years) is a near-future sci-fi short film about a fictional meteor that is headed for Hong Kong and expected to impact in 2047, but the public at large does nothing to address this impending doom. It might seem like an innocuous enough film, but China thought there was more to the story than that, and State Council Information Office requested that websites immediately remove video, text, etc. that advocates the short sci-fi film about Hong Kongers "saving themselves" titled Hong Kong Will Be Destroyed in 33 Years. The Diplomat has a bit more information about the film's not entirely coincidental use of the year 2047, the year in which China's Special Administrative Region (SAR) agreement with Hong Kong is set to expire, possibly bringing an end to one country, two systems.
White Dwarf
Before Firefly, there was the television movie White Dwarf, a far-future pseudo-western scripted by Bruce "Wild Palms" Wagner. The story is essentially Kurosawa's Red Beard relocated to the tidally-locked planet of Rusta, a frontier world split between a Victorian dayside culture and a medieval nightside kingdom. Neal McDonough stars as an arrogant young Earth doctor dispatched to a Light Side clinic to complete an internship under the unorthodox Paul Winfield.

Are you a fan of inventive, black-humored sci-fi/fantasy animation? Desperate to fill the Futurama-shaped hole in your heart? Look no further than Rick and Morty, the superb new Adult Swim series from animator Justin "Lemongrab" Roiland and Community darling Dan Harmon. Inspired by a (terrible and very NSFW) Back To The Future knock-off, the show pairs a naïve young teen (Morty) with his cynical, alcoholic, mad scientist grandfather (Rick), each episode exploring a trope -- dreams, aliens, innerspace, parallel universes, virtual reality -- and turning it inside-out with intricate plotting, eye-catching art, and dark, whipsmart humor (with plenty of improvisation along the way). A ratings hit already secured for a second season, the show returns from an Olympics-induced hiatus tomorrow -- in the meantime, why not sample the six episodes aired so far: Pilot - Lawnmower Dog - Anatomy Park - M. Night Shaym-Aliens! - Meeseeks and Destroy - Rick Potion #9. Want more?

Disk Around a Star
An Alderson Disk is a science fiction megastructure imagined first by scientist Dan Alderson. It's a solid disk that is thousands of kilometers thick, with a circumference equal to the orbit of Mars or Jupiter. The habitable zone would be on both sides of the disk and would be millions of times the surface area of the Earth. Not much theoretical work has been done on its feasibility, but some have tried. Missile Gap, by MeFi's own Charles Stross, which won the Locus readers' award for best novella of 2006, features a 1960s Earth transposed to an Alderson disk and is available for free on the publisher's website.

Paolo Bacigalupi's dystopian near-future cyberpunk / hard sci-fi
Paolo Bacigalupi writes hard sci-fi set in the near future, inspired in part by the stories from his science journalist friends and the imminent future of cyberpunk. Some of his works have been classified as "biopunk," due to his focus on bio-engineered products that run rampant, with involvement for battling mega-corporations that (try to) run everything in a world where oil is expensive and human labor is cheap. His first published novel, The Windup Girl (Google books preview), won both the Hugo and Nebula awards in 2010. He has published three novels since then, all categorized as Young Adult fiction, but Bacigalupi sees his only adaptations for a younger audience to be to shift the focus to pacing, and less sexuality, but otherwise similar to his "adult" works. He has also written a number of short stories (plus a few non-fiction pieces) over the years, many of which can be found online. [more inside]

Sci-Fi Radio and Beyond 2000/2000x, hours of storytelling from NPR
National Public Radio produced at least two short runs of sci-fi radio dramas in the relatively recent past. The first of these two was Sci-Fi Radio, which was was produced out of Commerce, Texas, and broadcast on NPR in 1989-90. The producers drew their inspiration from some of the best stories from some of the best science fiction authors of the 20th century, including Ray Bradbury, Roger Zelazny, Henry Kuttner, and Poul Anderson. You can read more here on the Old Time Radio Plot Spot, or listen to the series on the Times Past Old Time Radio blog (also on Archive.org). A decade later, NPR revisited the format with 2000X: Tales of the Next Millennia, for which they won a a 2001 Bradbury Award. The official site is no longer online, but Archive.org captured Yuri Rasovsky's site for the series. Rasovsky shared two of those broadcasts and talked about his work in radio with Radio Drama Revival, and you can listen to the rest, as recorded from radio and grouped in an unsorted jumble (with duplicates), thanks to the very generous OTR Sounds.
The Price of Institutional Racism
Why has there been only one non-white Worldcon chair? Because science fiction fandom is not welcoming to non-white people, because con-running has not done enough to address its own lack of diversity, because people would rather believe that fandom is inclusive than force it to become inclusive.Jonathan McCalmont writes on institutional racism in the science fiction fandom.
Welcome to Paradox "makes the future look intriguing"
"To launch a science-fiction anthology series is to dare comparisons with The Twilight Zone. Happily, Welcome to Paradox is not unworthy to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rod Serling's classic show. The weekly dramas, all based on short stories, are set in Betaville [a nod to Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 dystopian sci-fi/noir film, Alphaville], a future city filled with ultrahigh technology and perennial human unhappiness.... Bottom Line: Makes the future look intriguing." The Sci-Fi channel only produced 13 episodes (archived view of their site; ep list on Wikipedia), letting the series end with one season. The show was only released on DVD in Australia, which now seems to be out of print. But fear not! You can watch the episodes on YouTube in a convenient playlist, or with separate episodes linked below the fold. [more inside]

The jury's in... and they can't deny that view, either.
A month after its release, Naughty Dog's sweeping interactive epic The Last of Us is being hailed as one of the best games of all time, with perfect scores even from notoriously demanding critics. Inspired by an eerily beautiful segment from the BBC's Planet Earth, the game portrays an America twenty years after a pandemic of the zombiefying Cordyceps fungus (previously), leaving behind lush wastelands of elegant decay teeming with monsters and beset by vicious bandits, a brutal military, and the revolutionary Fireflies. Into this bleak vision of desperate violence journey Joel, a gruffly stoic Texan with a painful past, and his ward Ellie, a precocious teenager who may hold the key to mankind's future. Boasting tense, immersive gameplay, compelling performances from a diverse cast, a movingly minimalist score from Oscar-winning Gustavo Santaolalla, and an array of influences from Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men to Cormac McCarthy's The Road, it's already being slotted alongside BioShock Infinite and Half-Life 2 as one of modern gaming's crowning achievements. And while it's hard to disentangle plot from action, you don't have to buy a PS3 to experience it -- YouTube offers many filmic edits of the game, including this three-hour version of all relevant passages. And don't miss the 84-minute documentary exploring every facet of its production. [more inside]

Sturgeon! Dick! Asimov! Heinlein! DeCamp! Bradbury! Sheckley! Pohl!
The very first major science fiction series for adults on radio was Mutual Broadcasting System's 2000 Plus (1950-1952). An anthology program, 2000 Plus used all new material rather than adapting published stories. Just one month after its premiere, NBC Radio began airing Dimension X (1950-1951), which dramatized the written work of such young writers as Ray Bradbury, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Kurt Vonnegut. In 1955, NBC relaunched Dimension X as X Minus One (1955-1958), drawing from stories that had been published in the two most popular science fiction magazines at the time: Astounding and Galaxy. 17 of 30 episodes of 2000 Plus, all 50 episodes of Dimension X, and all 125 episodes of X Minus One are available for free download as individual mp3s from the Internet Archive.

Nurse with disabilities trying to find a job that fits - page 3
Hi all. It has been a while since I have posted. I have been a nurse for 14 years. Have tried everything from M/S to tele to teaching at the college level. I now work at a busy outpatient wound care clinic. I have MS, Crohn's... Read More
- 0Jan 6, '13 by cajunsueI am a nurse with 23yrs experience. I still have my license, but haven't worked in a year. I have Common Variable Immunodeficiency and Ankylosing Spondylitis. I had a craniotomy for a pituitary tumor in 2005 to have it removed. Basically my health is crap! Currently trying to get on disability, been denied twice, sent to
a third party that could not come to a conclusion. Funny if I had Lupus or RA, I'd have been
Approved by now! Anyway. I can't work anymore. I can't be around sick people (immunity disorder) and I can't move anyone (AS). So basically I'm screwed. My medical bills are thru the roof. I tried getting a case management job thru an insurance company & they won't hire me because I have no insurance experience. Don't think I could do the hospital CM, too much walking & on my feet. I really hope disability comes thru. I need it badly!!
- 0Jan 6, '13 by afjgnpI am so sorry. I hope you do get disability. Yes people have told me the same thing, get a job in case management (either through the hospital or insurance copanies. Maybe a Social security lawyer could help( they don't get paid until you get social security). God bless you, I wish you all the best!
- 0Jan 19, '13 by dthfytrI'm also disabled and trying to get work. Isn't it ironic that the system for helping the sick and injured is so prejudiced against hiring them? If you get SS Disability, after a waiting period you can get Medicare. A lot of this changing under Obamacare, and I hope it makes it easier for you and your husband. I hate this, but have you discussed with your husband divorce as a purely business and survival strategy. It doesn't mean you don't love and care for each other or live apart. You just need to work every angle to work the system to both of your benefits. I have Polymyositis (immune system attacking my muscles) and all my family and friends have drifted away over the past few years.

My hubby and I met 25 years ago in Rochester NY(where I am from). We were both divorced and I had three small boys. We lived together and had a son(my 4th, his first and only). As an only child my parents didn't like him(they didn't like any of the men in my life). Between the ex's causing problems and my parents, we broke up. When I thought I would go back with him, my parents said if I did they would never have anything to do with me or my sons again(couldn't do that to the boys, they were great grandparents). I loved my hubby so much and never forgot him. He was the only one who told me that I could do anything i wanted, I was smart. He turned me on to nursing-told me of his experiences,how much he loved it(he didn't finish-another story). Anyway(sorry this is so long) two years ago our son(he was 21 at the time) wanted to meet his dad. We found him, he met his dad, and for use it was like no time had passed. We married in april 2011.
Now I have suggested we divorce, he said no he would never do that. I said it would be the same. He said that he lost me once and wouldn't even take a chance. Another thing I found out, I guess many people have tried divorcing for economics. Social services makes sure you have been divorced for two years before they give you any help. If they found that you did just that,(which would be my luck) they have you do jail time.
Also, my mom still speaks to me, my dad has completely turned his back on me.
again sorry for the long post.
Best of luck to you and God Bless.

Your doctor describes and attests to your illness on a simple form. The form is sent in and reviewed. Once approved, all federal loans are discharged BUT your income and student loan activities are monitored for 3 years afterwards to make sure you're not gaming the system.
If you have federal student loans and a serious permanent disability, there is financial relief- if you do the simple paperwork.

Gearing up for the September release of Ubisoft's Driver: San Francisco, the single-player demo will launch tomorrow on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The demo allows players to survey the game's San Francisco locale for themselves in three missions: the stunt-heavy Prove It, VIP-escorting Escapist, and Team Colors, in which players must control multiple cars, shifting between them to take the first and second places in a street race. Here's the trailer to tide you over in the hours before the demo's release.
Driver: San Francisco – due to launch on Sept 2 in Europe and four days later in the US – places an emphasis on action-packed chase-style driving, with aggressive rivals and police pursuits leaving scant opportunity to survey the faithfulness of the game's real-world locale. We took a look at the game's multiplayer component recently, and this demo offers players the chance to sample a few of the game's single-player modes before launch. Looking forward to some playtime?

Object-oriented programming in Java.
We are going to look at inheritance hierarchy. If we take a classic approach, as shown below we would see the methods that have been defined in the base class overridden in the derived classes. Inheritance guarantees that any derived class will have the interface of the base class. If you follow this diagram below, derived classes will also have no more than the base-class interface.
This can be thought of as pure substitution, because
Sometimes you will have a java base class that has a method thats been overloaded several times. It is important for the programmer to remember that redefining the method name in the derived class does not hide any of the base-class versions. Therefore you should keep in mind that overloading works irrespective of whether the method has been defined at this level or in a base class: Java Code: import static com.acme.examples.Print.*;
public class Mother {
char foo(char
import static com.acme.examples.Print.*;
public class Mother {
char foo(char

Hart said she was very excited to once again be in New Jersey, the third state to allow online gambling but the first to limit it to state residents. She said it's always difficult to be the first, but New Jersey took a bold step and is now reaping the rewards.
By Hart's estimates, some 30,000 to 70,000 new online players have already given online gambling a try, a number which is increasing as awareness builds for the category. So far there is no cannibalization at any of the land-based casinos, Hart noted, and if trends follow that of Europe, land-based gambling will see a pickup as players get a taste online.
That said, Hart made it clear that IGT's land-based business will continue to drive the company's earnings for the foreseeable future. She said her company enjoys a 45% market share in that business and it will take a lot of states adopting online gambling before the Internet will move the needle for IGT.
IGT is also making lots of progress with its share repurchase program, Hart said. The company has already bought back nearly 15% of the company's shares outstanding. Cramer called IGT a pioneer in its sector and a stock to watch, especially given its new, lower valuation.
Am I Diversified?In the "Am I Diversified?" segment, Cramer spoke with callers and responded to tweets sent via Twitter to @JimCramer to see if investors' portfolios have what it takes for today's markets.
The first portfolio included Facebook (FB), Seagate (STX), Priceline.com (PCLN), Amazon.com and Google (GOOG). Cramer said this portfolio was not diversified and had far too many tech stocks. The second portfolio's top holdings included Hershey (HSY), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Coca-Cola (KO), Verizon (VZ) and Kimco Realty Trust (KIM). Cramer said this portfolio cannot have both Hershey and Coca-Cola, so he advised selling Coke in favor of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY). The third portfolio had Dorman Products (DORM), Dunkin Brands (DNKN), Amazon.com, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Home Depot as its top five stocks. Cramer once again identified two of a kind with Dorman and Home Depot. He suggested selling Dorman and adding an industrial like United Technologies (UTX) To watch replays of Cramer's video segments, visit the Mad Money page on CNBC.

When doctors don't return calls.....
- 1Jul 12, '10 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorI cannot provide specific details, but I did have a terrible shift last night. Not only did I page a doctor multiple times regarding a patient who was deteriorating, but I also telephoned the same doctor's answering service numerous times. In addition, I called his personal cell phone number several times, which went straight to voice mail each and every time that I called. My next step was to report it to my nurse manager, but her phone number was not listed in the contact book because she is a newer employee.
What do you guys do when doctors don't return repeated phone calls and pages? Do your workplaces have established protocols?
- 0Jul 12, '10 by nyteshadeWhen I worked LTC, if the resident's doc did not call back within the hour, we could then call the medical director, if the doc was the director, we had a list of docs that came thru the facilty, and called them in the order listed. If the patient truly needed to be sent out, I called fire rescue to take em out.
- 0Jul 12, '10 by healthstarGreat question. I always wanted to know what one would do in this kind of situation.
- 15Jul 12, '10 by Zookeeper3Well my facility is a bit more structured than yours so while I don't have the same dead end you hit, this still is common place with "select MD's".
Next course of action is the charge, then we have a house supervisor. After I've called 3 times, 15 minutes apart... my last call is to the service... "this is a stat call, I've not heard back.. do you have any suggestions or back road to get any doctor from the group to answer the call?" Sometimes the service knows the docs and knows who to call because that particular doc is notorious for that, so just ask.
With no house supervisor to clear your next move, I have called the police to their house to knock on the door. We now require the house soup, but prior to that, I've already put my license on the line, documented my behind off, and dang well going to hunt this golfer, movie goer, function attending arse down.
So next line of action is to assume that there is either ill will affecting him and call the cops or it must be a medical emergency, and call the cops.
Word spreads in the doctors lounge... "did you know I blew off three calls and the cops showed up at my door?" some crazy nurse called them.
I promise, promise once you get that ok, it won't happen again and the other docs will have you on speed dial.
If your snarky, fill out an incident report to risk management, we've had a select few loose their admitting rights for 30 days. We don't play that game.
- 2Jul 12, '10 by rnlatelyIn addition to the above actions, document like crazy.
- 0Jul 12, '10 by cardiacmadelineWe have had the nursing supervisor send the cops to their house on occasion. If it is one of our surgeons not answering, I may try to call one of the other surgeons even though they are not on call. I would only do this if I desperately needed orders. We once had a situation where we couldn't get hold of a surgeon, so we called the cardiologist on call even though they weren't following the patient. He did give us orders and wasn't upset about it. We also have a rapid response team, so we always have the option to call them.
- 3Jul 12, '10 by Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorIf it's not emergent, I'll wait 15-30 minutes and try again.
If it's an emergency or I've tried twice with no luck, I'll notify my supervisor (though they would have already been notified that the patient was deteriorating before I started playing Hunt the Doctor), then I'll call the medical doctor and/or the medical director of the facility.
Fortunately, it's rare that I can't reach one of my doctors, even at ungodly hours. It did happen once, and I did have to call the medical director. Neither he nor the patient's doctor were bothered by my doing that.
- 1Jul 12, '10 by ButterflyNurse30If we couldn't get the doc to call back where I used to work we would call the hospital to make sure he was really on call...sometimes the doctors would switch the call rotation and we would not be told. If the doc was on call for himself that wasn't calling us back we would then page the medical director or if the situation was serious enough go ahead and send them to ER.
- 1Jul 12, '10 by cookienayYes, my facility does have a policy regarding this. And yes we have had to use it. It basically goes something like this. Attempt to contact for x number of times or x number of minutes. If an emergency, call the Rapid Assess team (which has an intensivist or hospitalist available). If not call the VP of medical services. Oh yeah- an incident report.
Filled out two in the last two months for physicians who feel it is optional to answer their pages. I even documented that one refused to evaluate a patient on an EMTALA form. They love me I tell ya!!

Treasury pick has experience on the Hill
With VIDEO
|White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew shakes hands with U.S. President Barack Obama after Obama announced his choice of Lew as the next Treasury secretary in the East Room of the White House on January 10, 2013 in Washington, DC. (Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/MCT)
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For 30 years, Jack Lew has had a hand in some of the biggest economic deals negotiated in Washington. What awaits him if he's confirmed as treasury secretary could far exceed any challenge of the past — a triple-decked potential crisis that will test his experience the moment he opens his office door on the third floor of the Treasury Building

Down to the Sea: An Epic Story of Naval Disaster and Heroism in World War II (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
This epic story opens at the hour the Greatest Generation went to war on December 7, 1941, and follows four U.S. Navy ships and their crews in the Pacific until their day of reckoning three years later with a far different enemy: a deadly typhoon. In December 1944, while supporting General MacArthur's invasion of the Philippines, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey neglected the Law of Storms, placing the mighty U.S. Third Fleet in harm's way. Drawing on extensive interviews with nearly every living survivor and rescuer, as well as many families of lost sailors, transcripts and other records from naval courts of inquiry, ships' logs, personal letters, and diaries, Bruce Henderson finds some of the story's truest heroes exhibiting selflessness, courage, and even defiance.
About the Author
Bruce Henderson is the author or coauthor of more than twenty nonfiction books, including the #1 New York Times bestseller And the Sea Will Tell (with Vincent Bugliosi) and Down to the Sea. A former newspaper and magazine writer, Henderson has taught nonfiction writing at several major universities. He lives in Menlo Park, California.

Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. Treasury minister Mark Hoban said figures showing banks missed their target on new lending to small and medium-sized businesses were "disappointing."
While Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Lloyds Banking Group Plc, HSBC Holdings Plc, Barclays Plc and Santander U.K. collectively lent 214.9 billion pounds ($339.6 billion) to business, beating a target agreed with the government by 13 percent, they lent 74.9 billion pounds to small and medium-sized companies, defined as those with revenue of less than 25 million pounds annually. That amounted to 98.6 percent of the amount pledged under the so-called Project Merlin deal of 2011.
"It is disappointing that lending to small and medium- sized businesses did miss the target by a billion pounds, but let's not forget banks lent 9 billion pounds more to small- and medium-sized businesses in 2011 than 2010," Hoban said in an interview with Bloomberg Television today.
The agreement lasted for 2011 and will not be extended, Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said in November. The government will guarantee 20 billion pounds of lending to businesses with revenue of 50 million pounds or less, in the next two years, Osborne said.
"The news that the lending targets for small- and medium- sized businesses set under Project Merlin have been missed will add insult to injury for firms struggling to get the finance they need to survive and expand," Chuka Umunna, the opposition Labour Party's business spokesman, said in an e-mailed statement.
The five lenders promised the government last year to provide gross new credit of 190 billion pounds to businesses, including 76 billion pounds to smaller firms. Businesses should be encouraged to consider alternative financing to bank loans, such as equity raisings, Hoban said.
Prime Minister David Cameron's spokesman, Steve Field, said: "The world changed in the middle of last year. These targets were set at the beginning of last year."

Insteel Industries, Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Insteel Wire Products Company (together referred to as "Insteel" in this press release) has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets associated with the prestressed concrete strand ("PC strand") business of American Spring Wire Corporation ("ASW") for a purchase price of approximately $36.0 million, subject to certain post-closing adjustments (the "ASW Acquisition"). The transaction is expected to close on or before August 15, 2014.
ASW is North America's largest manufacturer of valve and commercial quality spring wire. ASW manufactures PC strand at facilities located in Texas and Georgia. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2014, ASW's sales of PC strand were $67.8 million.
Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Insteel will acquire, among other assets, the accounts receivable and inventories related to ASW's PC strand business, the production equipment at ASW's facility in Houston, Texas and the production equipment and facility in Newnan, Georgia. Insteel will lease the Houston facility from ASW. The purchase price is subject to an adjustment to be determined based upon the closing working capital balance. The transaction will be funded from cash on hand and borrowings on Insteel's $100.0 million revolving credit facility.
"The ASW acquisition significantly enhances the footprint of Insteel's PC strand business in our largest and highest growth markets," commented H.O. Woltz III, Insteel president and chief executive officer. "We also believe that the integration of these operations with our existing PC strand facilities in Tennessee and Florida will provide considerable synergy potential through higher productivity levels and improved operating costs."
About Insteel

Insteel manufactures and markets PC strand and welded wire reinforcement, including engineered structural mesh ("ESM"), concrete pipe reinforcement and standard welded wire reinforcement.

How the iPhone Air Gives Apple a Boost
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The next iPhone, dubbed by many to be the iPhone Air, is going to be a huge product push for Apple (AAPL)
Pacific Crest Securities analyst Andy Hargreaves boosted Apple, raising it to "outperform" with a $635 price target, as he believes the next iPhone, which he calls the iPhone 6, could be priced higher than the iPhone 5s, and return growth to Apple in fiscal 2015.
"We believe Apple can sell a 4.7" iPhone at a subsidized price of $299, which should generate incremental gross profit on replacement sales and attract new customers that had previously purchased Android phones specifically for a larger screen," Hargreaves wrote in a note.
Speculation has surrounded the Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple on whether it will increase the size of the iPhone to better compete with smartphones using Google's (GOOG)Apple shares were higher following the upgrade, gaining 0.49% to $533.50 in premarket trading on Tuesday. See Also: What Will Apple's Next iPhone Look Like? "We expect iPhone replacement rates to remain stable for the foreseeable future, which should underpin strong cash flow to fuel Apple's cash return activity and a still growing net cash balance," Hargreaves wrote in the report.

"I adore these muffins and make them all the time. If you want a very sweet muffin, this isn't your recipe, but if you want a healthy filling muffin this is the ticket. They are chewy and wonderful - plus they make a great breakfast or snack!"
"Very easy to make and filling too! I added a little extra milk and it turned out great! "
"This is such a good recipe! The BBQ sauce is a bit runny after cooking, but the taste was still great! The peppers add some great spicy flavor to the chicken, which was very moist."
"Great recipe! It was very tasty and filling, and the fact that it was lower in fat and calories was just a bonus! The basil really added a great touch. Definitely going to be making this one again!"

To Our Venerable Brother
Your Eminence,
Called by the Lord's will, manifested to us through the agreement of the Cardinals, to guide the rudder of the barque of Peter, faced with the formidable responsibility of the pontifical ministry, we are immediately preoccupied about the choice of the one whose duty it would be to be associated more directly in the day to day cares of the Church government in the function of Secretary of State.
One's thought immediately turns to you, Venerable Brother, to whom Our Predecessor of venerated memory, Paul VI, had already confided that onerous charge, emphasising "the gifts of mind, of heart, of will, as also of pastoral awareness and wisdom" (Autograph Letter dated 2 May 1969) for which you are distinguished.
We are pleased, therefore, to entrust to you the office of our Secretary of State, in this way testifying to you in front of the Catholic Episcopate and the whole Church, the deep admiration, the sincere appreciation, and the paternal goodwill that we nourish for you personally. With this our Autograph Letter, we likewise nominate you Prefect of the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church, President of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican State, and President of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See.
We are certain that, thanks to the aid of him who "does not disappoint those who trust in him" (cf. Dan 3:40), you, Your Eminence, will know how to cooperate with our pastoral work, sharing with us the day to day toil of the apostolic service for building up the body of Christ, which is the Church (cf. Col 1: 24), for the well-being of all mankind.
Invoking upon you, and upon the work which awaits you, the abundance of heavenly favours, we are happy to convey to you, with the expression of our affection, our strengthening Apostolic Blessing.
From the Vatican Apostolic Palace, 27 August 1978, the first year of our pontificate.
