Oxfordshire engineer's 'Jetbike' prepares for 400mph land speed record
It can reach speeds of more than 400 miles per hour, covering a distance of 586 feet, the length of a football pitch, every second.
It's all part of preparations to beat the world record later this year on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, America.
In 1999, Richard Brown rode his rocket powered creation Mach 3 Challenger to an officially recorded speed of 332.887mph, the fasted speed at that time.
Since then the record has been set at over 370mph, and he's now attempting to win it back.
The speed tests will be taking place at Pendine Sands on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Families of poorly children get new place to stay
Former Southampton FC footballer Francis Benali has opened a new accommodation facility for families of children in hospital.
The new Ronald McDonald House Southampton is a "home away from home" for families who need to stay near their children while they are being treated at Southampton Children's Hospital and nearby Princess Anne Hospital.
Benali was joined by Fiona Dalton, chief executive of University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, and Dr Simon Fradd, trustee of Ronald McDonald House Charities, for a ceremony to mark the opening of the house, which has 53 en-suite bedrooms as well as communal kitchens, lounges and playrooms.
The full-back said: "It's an honour and a privilege to be here to open such an incredible facility. I want to do alI I can to encourage people to support the house and spread the word about how much it helps families in their time of need."
During the opening ceremony, guests heard from Sandra Brown, a mother from Jersey, who is among the first to stay at the Ronald McDonald House while her son Jack, 15, is being treated for bleeding on the brain.
She said: "The Ronald McDonald House has brought normality back into our life. It's been a godsend. I have been able to stay near Jack while he is being treated in hospital and not worry about the expense of travel to and from Jersey or paying for accommodation. It will always have a special place in my heart".
There are 14 Ronald McDonald Houses in the UK that in 2014 provided a place to more than 6,000 families who had children in hospital.
Sewing 'could help soldiers' mental health issues'
A soldier from Salisbury enjoys sewing so much that he is now determined to encourage others to take up the pass time.
Lieutenant Colonel Neil State believes it could help veterans with mental health problems overcome their issues. His belief centres around the fact that creating something can give people a boost, and a sense of fulfillment.
"I've done everything from modifying ammo pouches to carry mortar bombs, sniper suits and then making curtains for soldiers' accommodation and of course as you heard in Bosnia I actually started making my driver's wedding dress and then in Afghanistan was helping the female engagement teams with the US Marine Corps to teach Afghan ladies how to sew."

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Delta Teachers Academy program, focusing on Academy: (1) activities and expenditures; and (2) participants' views on program effectiveness.
GAO found that: (1) the Department of Agriculture's funding for the Delta Teachers Academy has nearly doubled to almost $4 million in fiscal year 1995; (2) the Academy expects to increase the number of teacher training days from about 5,000 for 371 teachers in 1994 to 12,000 days for 665 teachers in 1995; (3) teachers participating in the Academy program generally view it as positive and effective in increasing the understanding of academic subjects and providing new teaching skills; and (4) the National Faculty has not yet evaluated the impact of the Academy on participants' teaching practices, but it is planning more comprehensive evaluations of the program's impact and effectiveness.

Asian Elephant Dokkoon has given birth overnight to her second calf.
Born at 2:40am and weighing in at 131 kilograms, the male calf is the fourth Asian Elephant to be born at Melbourne Zoo.
The entire team at Zoos Victoria are very saddened by the sudden loss of our elephant calf Sanook.
Melbourne Zoo Director, Kevin Tanner said; "we have reviewed the CCTV footage from last night which has indicated that his death was a result of a tragic accident.
Melbourne Zoo has taken out top honours at this year's RACV Victorian Tourism Awards.
Zoos Victoria has welcomed a $200,000 philanthropic donation.
The Ian Potter Foundation has provided a $200,000 donation to help build a state-of-the-art learning centre in the heart of the Zoo's forthcoming Predators' Precinct.
In this month's animal profile we take a closer look at the iconic lions at Melbourne Zoo. Precinct Manager Adrian Howard is a brave man, working nearly every day for the last 12 years with the lions at Melbourne Zoo.
Conservationists worldwide are shining a spotlight on the plight of orang-utans this week to draw attention to the continuing loss of their rainforest habitat.
The largest single cause of this forest clearing is for the purpose of producing palm oil.
Asian Elephant Dokkoon became an important part of Melbourne Zoo's 151-year history on January 16, 2010.
That was the day when she gave birth to Mali, the Zoo's first-ever elephant calf and Australia's first-ever female baby elephant.
Twelve-year old male gorilla Otana has experienced his new Gorilla Rainforest home for the first time after being cleared from quarantine on Monday.
The time has come to crack open the certified sustainable chocolate and congratulate all companies associated with Zoos Victoria's Zoopermarket for making public time-bound commitments to use 100% Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO).
Meet Tarwin. At 15 years of age, she is the oldest of our three seals at Melbourne Zoo, and gets her name from the town where she was first found.

How do you know when and how much solid food to feed your baby? He's 4 months.

I just started my oldest one on cereal when she was four months old and my newest little one i had to start cereal at two months old and she's going on four months. you should start out with 8 oz a day which is 4 oz in the morning and 4 at night. You just have to make sure they get the correct amount of formula or milk they need. Which should be on a feeding chart that your pediatrician gave you.if you need a copy of one let me know and i'll e-mail it to you.posted 10/29/2007 by krisandrandy
My daughter was a hungry little monster so around 4 months (maybe a little earlier) I started putting one scoop of rice cereal in her bottle. This worked miracles especially at night . Now she is almost 5 months old and I have just started to feed her sweet potatoes, which she seems to like. At 3 months old she was drinking 6-8 oz bottles every 3 hrs and she never seemed to be really satisfied with just formula;thats when we decided to put cereal in her bottle. Now we have noticed she eye balls our food when at the dinner table with us and seems to be intrigued by what we eat so we decided to start with the baby food. I have given her half a jar of stage 1 baby food, once a day. I guess I will add on as her appetite grows. Every baby is different so when hes ready he'll let you know, also when your comfortable and confident enough do it, listen only to your gut/ motherly instincts. Hope this helps.posted 11/25/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
these resources right here on babycenter.com helped me a lot.

It really depends on your baby. At about 2.5 months, my son was eating 50-60 ounces of formula a day, wanting a 6oz bottle every 2 hours during the day and 3 hours at night. We added cereal to his bottle and got it down to about every 3 hours, which was still more than they wanted him fed for 24 hours. He was screaming all the time because he was still hungry. I tried cereal with some #1 fruits mixed in, but he wouldn't take the cereal. The fruits and vegetables, however, he took to immediately. The doctor said he's thriving and there's no cause for concern, that he's an early developer. He could hold his head up when he was two weeks old and sat supported before 2 months old. He's now 5.5 months and we started him on #2 foods last week because he was no longer satisfied with #1s. Bottom line - what's usually right may not be right for your child. Mine is hitting milestones early and the doctor saw no problem with eating solids early.posted 06/13/2008 by jls8182
My baby is 4 months 4 weeks and as of his four month check up, the doc told me to start him on baby veggies. he said that if you give them the not-so-sweet stuff first, they'll be more likely to eat the veggies than if you gave them fruit first. anyway, he did really well on the food right at four months. i found that the cereal constipated him really bad, so i just put it in his bottles. this seems to work pretty well. i usually just replace one of his afternoon bottles with a jar of baby veggies and maybe a little baby fruit (that he has already mastered) and then a little juice to make sure he goes to the bathroom after all that solid food. it evens out to the amount of breastmilk he gets at all the other feedings and takes the place of one of his bottles. it makes it alot easier on me so i don't hafta get out quite as much breastmilk.posted 11/06/2007 by Lanabug

He'll determine that. Seriously its not about what you think or are ready or not ready for. If he seems interested go for it my daughter had her first banana at 3 months old and wasnt to intersted in it at 4 months she started eating baby food by five months she was eating finger foods. Id your giving him solids he will whine, keep his mouth closed, or push it away when he's done.posted 03/26/2015 by mama1111bri
This is my first child so everything is very new to me...I have also started my 4month old on some porridge and fruit puree and now im wondering if to let her taste other foods however ive just bought the jars as i dont know what to give her or when. So i tried her with her first bolognaise and she loved it but now she cries at night before bed for quite sometime when before foods she went down easy and stayed asleep all night, so i dont know if ive started her too early and ive now given her stomach ache or if shes just playing up a little "/.... would love to nnow what others think especially if your in the same situation Thanks xposted 03/18/2015 by ChelseaEsmae
the doctors tell you to only feed your baby , babyfood once a week at first to make sure there are no allergies. i did it every 2 days i would feed him a bottle wait an hour or 2 then feed him baby food. he will stop and act like he dont want none when hes full :)posted 01/28/2015 by tolercassie
Here's a guide, but once you start your baby will set the pace. Mine at lots at first, but at 7 months they slowed down and ate less during each sitting so I have to feed them more often throughout the day. Good luck! http://www.babycenter.com/0_age-by-age-guide-to-feeding-your-baby_1400680.bc?page=1posted 12/23/2014 by TwinMom48

I stayed with two friends in the 7 bed dorm. We were all utterly disgusted with the awful conditions and extremely unhappy with the rude, unprofessional service. Our room was down in a basement with only one tiny window, black mould and peeling paint on the ceiling, even directly above the beds. The beds were terrible with sheets that didn't fully cover and no pillow cases to cover the pillows, which had spots of mould. There was no hot water, broken toilet cistern and lid. DO NOT STAY HERE

33 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 27-38 within 50 miles
I'm a fun, independent person who likes to stay active! I have a diverse group of close friends, and am looking for a new way to meet someone to spend time with. I have been living in NYC for over 6 years, and I am having fun trying to make the most of the city. I like checking out different types of restaurants and bars with my friends, or finding interesting events to attend. I also like having some quiet time, to experiment with cooking and baking, or to watch movies. I love to travel, I generally take a vacation every few months and like to explore new places, especially those near an ocean! In the past few months I've taken trips to Brazil (highly recommend Jeri beach), Turkey and Greece, all are fascinating cities with interesting people & great food. This past summer I did a share house in the Hamptons, that was a completely different type of adventure. I enjoy skiing (and learning to snowboard!) as well as running, biking, yoga/pilates, and hiking when I'm outside the city. I enjoy watching sports, such as football or baseball (particularly Philly sports teams). I'm always up for an adventure! I'm looking for someone that is also independent, enjoys travel and is down to earth. Someone who is honest and intelligent and values family and friendship.

New agreement represents a decrease in CUNA Mutual's advocacy and marketing support for U.S. leagues.
Dave Adams, president/CEO of the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates, said any speculation that CUNA Mutual Group is planning to cut revenues to the state leagues and their league services corporations, is "completely false."
Sources provide conflicting reports regarding CMG's alleged announcement of cuts to CUNA, leagues and other affiliate organizations.
CUNA Mutual, the NCUA and trades respond to the CFPB's announcement it will review checking account screening procedures.
The CFPB will review how credit unions use reporting agencies to screen members when they open a checking account.
Credit unions took different approaches to address advisories about Internet Explorer vulnerability.
Hackers are using an IE vulnerability to hack into computer systems; patches are available.
After 75 years of offering it to credit union members nationwide, CUNA Mutual Group is bringing an end to one of its landmark products: Life Savings Insurance.
The suit against the $965 million Black Hills Federal Credit Union and CUNA Mutual alleging improper increases in credit life disability insurance rates was remanded Aug. 14 by the South Dakota Supreme Court back to a lower court to be tried as a class action suit.
Class action status also ordered in case over alleged unauthorized change in credit life disability insurance rates. Insurer pays $116,000 fine.

Excellent value best price around
I like this product for a heathy cheek glow. It's just a little too pink based though for an all-face product.
This was for me and the bareMinerals range never let me down
like this, but prefer the rose radiance
Have used Bare Minerals for years and love their products
Used before, love it.
Smaller size than expected.
This is great for giving a healthy look to pale faces.
I tried this after reading other reviews and I like it but not sure it's as amazing as mineral veil - if I had to choose between the 2 I would choose mineral veil .
Great base and coverage highly recommended to use any of BareMinerals products
My wife really love using clear radiance from bare mineral
Gives a lovely sheen to the skin.
After using this product for a good few years I was so disapointed, It was nothing like what I have been using, more matte and gold sheen, rather than the slight shimmer that I have always had. Looked flat and very unflattering. I just know this is not the same product. An expensive buy that I am stuck with, unfortunately.

Few collectives of the 20th century grabbed as much attention or gathered as much talent as the prolific Bloomsbury Group. Made up of luminaries of the art, literary and academic world, their indelible stamp on the thoughts and trends of the turn of the century still resonate with fans today. Much has been written and dissected of the Group's offerings, particularly the writing of E.M. Forster and Virginia Woolf. While Virginia's remarkable career and personal struggles may consume most of the spotlight, author Priya Parmar has delved into the mind of Vanessa Bell, Virginia's sister, in her novel Vanessa and Her Sister.
Told through a series of fictional diary entries, letters and telegrams, Vanessa attempts to carve out her painting career amidst the chaos of falling in love, having children, grieving and dealing with Virginia's violent and troubling moods. Vanessa often feels on the outside of the literary world she is forced to inhabit. While her friends are off having love affairs and traveling the world at large, she wonders if she is meant to fall behind because of her family obligations. Her creative mind will not allow her to give up on her art. As it becomes clear that Virginia's jealousy extends beyond Vanessa's artistic talents and moves to her family life, she grapples with the knowledge of how devious and manipulative the very people she loves most can be.
Rich in characterization and detail, fans of the Bloomsbury Group and of novels like Michael Cunningham's The Hours will find this sumptuous novel a treat for the brain.
M. O. Walsh's heartbreaking novel My Sunshine Away follows a man looking back at tragic events that formed him into the adult he became. It was 1989 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and a teenage girl is raped in a middle class neighborhood, throwing suspicion on several of the people that live there. One of the suspects is a teenage boy who has become obsessed with the victim, and his obsession leads him on a quest to discover the truth, even when the victim herself just wants to leave the past behind her. While he ruminates over the event that will ultimately change him, life continues to move forward, throwing more tragedy and grief his way. He must find a way to come to terms with where he has been in order to become who he is meant to be.
My Sunshine Away is beautifully written but is not an easy read. It deals with the darker corners of the human heart, and the sense of loss and longing is palpable. M. O. Walsh is a gifted writer, and, even if you don't genuinely like the narrator at times, the reader will be captured by his story and his need to press forward. The author uses events in American history to further capture the sense of place and time, and his descriptions of Baton Rouge bring the city to life. Ultimately, it is a coming-of-age tale, told from the male perspective. The author does an amazing job getting inside the narrators head, slowly revealing things needed to be said. Truly a discussable novel, My Sunshine Away would be a perfect fit for book groups. After this, you may want to try The Little Friend by Donna Tartt or Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward.

Novels The Missing Place by Sophie Littlefield and Descent by Tim Johnston combine taut suspense with a look at the family dynamics at play when an adult child vanishes.
Descent opens with Grant and Angie Courtland lazing in a Colorado hotel room bed while their son and college-bound daughter are out on an early morning mountain trail jaunt. A ringing telephone conveys the news to the parents that their Rockies summer vacation is now officially a nightmare. Sixteen-year-old Sean was found on the trail, unconscious and with a shattered leg; his older sister Caitlin has disappeared without a trace. Johnson examines the remaining Courtlands' unique reactions to the tragedy while unraveling the mystery of Caitlin's fate. Part family drama, part dark psychological thriller, Descent will keep the reader on tenterhooks to the end.
In The Missing Place, suburban Boston housewife Colleen Mitchell is flying to North Dakota armed only with a handful of text messages from her son Paul, who's gone missing after he dropped out of college to work as a roughneck in the booming hydrofracking industry. Colleen ends up sharing lodgings with Shay, mother to a young man who went missing along with Paul, and the two women from opposite sides of the tracks form an uneasy alliance to search for their sons. Colleen brings her corporate lawyer husband's financial resources to their quest while Shay brings tech savvy and street smarts, but is that sufficient to breach the cone of silence engineered by gas companies intent on guarding their bottom line? Littlefield, an Edgar Award nominee who writes for both adults and teens, deftly portrays the anguish of mothers determined to find their sons who end up uncovering some unexpected adult secrets, too.
Michael Pitre's Fives and Twenty-Fives is the perfect book for customers clamoring for their holds on Phil Klay's National Book Award-winning collection Redeployment. Like Klay, Pitre is also a former Marine who served in Iraq before returning home to chronicle his thoughts in writing, using fiction to reveal the realest truths.
Fives and Twenty-Fives reads as an assemblage of harrowing experiences Pitre survived while on active duty, told through three characters whose stories are woven into a moving novel. These three Marines comprise a portion of an Iraq Road Repair Platoon that sweeps U.S. military routes through the desert in search of hidden explosives. Donovan, the lieutenant, tries to lead and represent his squad while combatting the weight of self-loathing and the isolation of rank amidst imminent ambush. Lester "Doc" Pleasant is the platoon's medic responsible for the lives of his teammates, but after witnessing a Marine overlook a live bomb, he resorts to his field kit for solace. Road Repair's interpreter is an intelligent third-world post-grad named Kateb, known as callsign "Dodge" by his platoon. Dodge harbors an internal war between morality and loyalty that keeps him distanced from the Marines. Whenever his wall of superficiality is breached by violence, Dodge folds into a disheveled copy of Huck Finn and reflects on the university life that was stolen from him.
With a supporting unit of strongly humanized soldiers, Road Repair wages perpetual war with scorching desert conditions and treacherous insurgent traps. Pitre illustrates these losing battles without overwhelming readers with military jargon or trivializing the emotions and dispatches. Even with checks like fives and twenty-fives in place, it's impossible to return from deployment unscathed.
Diane Cook's stories in her debut collection Man v. Nature are similar to Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series in that they depict an end of the world in which conflict is more survivor-centric than cataclysm-centric. Cook accomplishes this feat repeatedly throughout her stories, with multiple instances of apocalypse serving as mere backdrops while her characters continue their lives unabated by cordiality. While Kirkman's tales ooze with gore, Cook's exude wonderment and danger in dazzling prose.
Premiere in Man v. Nature is "Moving On," the grim telling of a widow internment center that functions like an adult orphanage. The mood around the grounds is bleak enough that reality becomes overpowered and contorts to make room for places like this to exist as if they've been institutionalized. "Meteorologist Dave Santana" pits a woman against her own sexual desires as she tries everything to seduce her neighbor, a homely and less than upstanding weatherman. "The Mast Year" portrays a woman who is chosen by fate to share her good fortune with those in need, no matter the personal cost. She grapples with notions of sacrifice, unable to separate charity from obligation until she no longer recognizes her own life. Lastly, the titular "Man v. Nature" is the account of a man and his two friends who are stranded in a tiny lifeboat adrift on a vast lake. As exposure besets and their bodies atrophy, they reminisce and eventually curse one another for past transgressions until their misdirected anger threatens to become their undoing.
Man v. Nature's stories are all so convincing in their heavy fictitiousness that the reader never questions the altered existences. Emotions are so poignant that doubt never surfaces; rather, fingers are crossed, eyes are squeezed shut and knees are taken in supplication to will the characters to safety. But in Cook's worlds, safety may no longer exist, and instead readers are given deliciously unsettling new normalcies.
Mobile Library is David Whitehouse's second novel and a beautifully written and deeply expressive work of fiction. Whitehouse has a way of using unique and well thought out metaphors that seem to catch you off guard with their exquisite accuracy.
The novel follows Bobby as he struggles through life as a socially awkward 12-year-old boy. His father doesn't seem to care for him, his mother is out of the picture and his peers bully him. Sunny is not only the one person he can call a friend, but is also his bodyguard of sorts. It's when Sunny moves away that Bobby becomes completely lost and disheartened until the day that he meets Rosa.
Rosa is a girl to whom Bobby feels almost instantly connected to, and when he meets her mother Val he realizes that families aren't just people who share your blood. Val happens to get paid to clean a mobile library and this is where Bobby, Val and Rosa spend many hours each week learning about life through the books they read.
Bobby's abuse and neglect, combined with the termination of mobile library services, creates a sense of foreboding in Val that leads her to take drastic measures. She can see no option for keeping the family together other than spiriting them away using the mobile library as their transportation. Though Val's intentions were honorable, her methods were less than discreet. Will Val be able to keep her eclectic family together?
Pick up a copy of this title to see what happens to these well-developed characters engulfed in vivid imagery. Whitehouse is an award-winning author who created a profound and delightful read in Mobile Library.
It's not often that a book cover really captures the essence of the words contained within, but J. Robert Lennon's collection See You in Paradise is complemented perfectly by its paradisal suburb set against a split pea soup sky. Lennon's stories share a theme of familial dissolution, which makes the pop art a choice of scrumptious irony. It's always easiest to smile and embrace delusions of complacency.
See You in Paradise's opening story "Portal" is a clever spin on the concepts of growing up and growing apart and sets the tone for the book. A young brother-sister duo discovers a portal in the woods behind the family house and rushes to tell mom and dad. After a cautious inspection, the family decides to venture through together and reappears on the other side of town. Portal trips quickly become a familial ritual, until one goes awry and has lasting consequences for everyone. "Zombie Dan" is what happens when scientists develop a revivification process for the rich, but haven't quite perfected their techniques. Each newly restored corpse exhibits unintended complications; in Dan's case, he develops mind-reading powers after reminiscing with former friends and uses his new powers to exhume buried truths. "The Wraith" is the story of a manic woman who is able to separate her negative energies into a sullen, lifeless copy of herself, which she does before each workday. Her husband works from home and is left alone with his husk-wife until curiosity eventually gets the best of him, and their relationship is forever altered.
Lennon's stories depict the repressed tragedies of suburbia in a witty, imaginative manner, which makes the slightly melancholy mood feel more like reverie than depression. Readers who enjoy See You in Paradise should also check out Kevin Wilson's Tunneling to the Center of the Earth.
Following the journey of the heroine in David Mitchell's The Bone Clocks gives the sensation of jumping down a confusing yet richly stylized rabbit hole. Holly Sykes is not only a strong-willed English teenager who loves her Talking Heads LP, she's also a hypersensitive psychic phenomena. At age 15, she rebels against her callous mother by running away for a weekend. This typical rite of passage causes a terrible loss to the family and Holly herself. And so the jostling expedition begins through space, sanity, and many years.
Throughout her life, Holly develops complex relationships with a series of eccentric characters who also narrate this intricate tale, including an arrogant college student, a journalist covering the Iraq War in 2003 and an aging egocentric literary writer. Reality begins to distort as Holly's psychic strength attracts two separate groups of mystics with supernatural powers and questionable intents. The plot's jagged terrain has the unhinged feeling of sewn together novellas, and seeing the seemingly free-flowing threads come together is a one-of-a-kind reading experience.
By definition, a wallflower is someone who yearns to stay out of focus and is content with experiencing the world from a vantage point far removed from social commotion. Wallflowers are typically observant people who possess the uncanny ability to find beauty in unique places. Eliza Robertson's debut collection Wallflowers places a series of introverted characters in situations with the potential to reveal more than their individual livelihoods.
Unified by central themes of longing and loss, Robertson's characters all wish for a way to forget the past or escape the present. In "Here Be Dragons," a geographic surveyor sees shades of his late fiancée in every corner of the remote locations he visits. She haunts him not in the convenient visages of doppelgängers, but in the complicated forms of reverie associated with people, places, things and experiences amidst savage and newly loveless lands. "Slimebank Taxonomy" thrusts readers into the empty life of a young mother living with her brother and his family. Her sister-in-law does not shoulder the added burden gracefully as she diverts attention from her own child to care for the new baby. The young mother realizes this, yet remains powerless to rear her newborn; instead, she finds solace in dredging drowned animals from a nearby swamp and cleaning their bodies. "Roadnotes" tells the story of a woman who leaves her job to drive through the Northeast on an autumnal leaf-viewing tour. Conveyed in the form of a series of letters addressed to her brother, readers see glimpses into her true motivations for her journey as she laments the loss of her mother, despite her rough childhood.
Robertson's debut collection shimmers with beauty enhanced by flecks of melancholy, with hints of hope where it seems toughest to find. With stories less about the wallflowers that populate them and more about the collective souls of humanity, Wallflowers is not to be missed by literary fiction enthusiasts. Fans of the rustic Canadian backdrop and the accompanying aloneness might also enjoy D. W. Wilson's collection Once You Break a Knuckle.
Blake Butler's 300,000,000 is a jungle; readers require courage and a literary machete to traverse this five-part psychological horror story. Told through the mediums of a manifesto left in the wake of a heinous murder spree, a first-hand account of the police investigation into the atrocities, and a disjointed recollection stitching the pieces together with plenty of room for the viscera to seep out, 300,000,000 is filled with rare glimpses of toxic and transcendent ravings.
Gretch Gravey is 300,000,000's patient zero of homeland terror, supplicating and drugging teenage metal heads in his city to transform them into thralls of murder. He releases his ever-expanding army of brainwashed husks into the suburbs to kidnap people and bring them back to his house to be killed and buried in a sub-basement crypt. Gravey's ultimate goal is the utter decimation of America by its own pudgy hands, and his successes are unhindered despite his eventual incarceration. Investigating police officer E.N. Flood feels himself being consumed by Gravey's residual evil and attempts to chronicle his descent into madness in his notes, which are actively redacted by other members of the force who have succumbed to Gravey's will.
As if Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club and Damned were chewed up and spat out in a bilious, meaty mass, 300,000,000 is disgusting and schizophrenic, yet somehow delicious in its depravity. Readers who enjoy wandering through their pitch-black houses when it's so late that it's actually early will be tickled by the way Blake Butler makes them question their sanity.

Stirring a spoon 370.
(photo credit:Thinkstock/Imagebank)
People of all ages and cultures gesture while speaking, some much more noticeably than others. But is gesturing uniquely tied to speech, or is it, rather, processed by the brain like any other manual action?A US-Netherlands research collaboration delving into this tie discovered that actual actions on objects, such as physically stirring a spoon in a cup, have less of an impact on the brain's understanding of speech than simply gesturing as if stirring a spoon in a cup. This is surprising because there is less visual information contained in gestures than in actual actions on objects. In short: Less may actually be more when it comes to gestures and actions in terms of understanding language.Spencer Kelly, associate professor of Psychology, director of the Neuroscience program, and co-director of the Center for Language and Brain at Colgate University, and colleagues from the National Institutes of Health and Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics will present their research at the Acoustics 2012 meeting in Hong Kong, May 13-18, a joint meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), Acoustical Society of China, Western Pacific Acoustics Conference, and the Hong Kong Institute of Acoustics.Among their key findings is that gestures – more than actions – appear to make people pay attention to the acoustics of speech. When we see a gesture, our auditory system expects to also hear speech. But this is not what the researchers found in the case of manual actions on objects.Just think of all the actions you've seen today that occurred in the absence of speech. "This special relationship is interesting because many scientists have argued that spoken language evolved from a gestural communication system – using the entire body – in our evolutionary past," points out Kelly. "Our results provide a glimpse into this past relationship by showing that gestures still have a tight and perhaps special coupling with speech in present-day communication. In this way, gestures are not merely add-ons to language – they may actually be a fundamental part of it."A better understanding of the role hand gestures play in how people understand language could lead to new audio and visual instruction techniques to help people overcome major challenges with language delays and disorders or learning a second language.What's next for the researchers? "We're interested in how other types of visual inputs, such as eye gaze, mouth movements, and facial expressions, combine with hand gestures to impact speech processing. This will allow us to develop even more natural and effective ways to help people understand and learn language," says Kelly.This article was first published at www.newwswise.com

Unfiltered takes on politics, ideas and culture from Nation editors and contributors.
This just in from Nation Washington Intern Te-Ping Chen:
There have been so many egregious dealings emerging out of Bush's cabinet -- the rancid workings of former Interior Secretary, allegations of Thomas White's insider trading -- that perhaps it's not surprising that the tracings of one cabinet member, Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao, have gone under-scrutinized.
But no longer, advocates say. With one year left of the beleaguered Bush Administration, American Rights at Work is hustling to shine light on Chao's record.
A former Bush Pioneer who served on thirteen corporate boards before assuming the role of Secretary of Labor, Chao has overseen some of the Department of Labor's more offensive hires, including Edwin Foulke, Jr., Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health -- the former partner of Jackson Lewis, a law firm perhaps best known for its union-busting and trainings on How to Stay Union-Free.
She's also campaigned tirelessly along with her husband, Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) against the Employee Free Choice Act, worked to roll back mine provision safety, and hired several of her husband's former aides to her staff.
"Elaine Chao's family connections and corporate ties have transformed the Department of Labor into the 'Department of Business,'" said Mary Beth Maxwell, American Rights at Work's executive director.
But this morning, with the launch of their new website attacking the Secretary of Labor -- the only original member of Bush's cabinet -- Elaine Chao's "long honeymoon," says Maxwell, is over.
Among the more comic gems the Web site highlights:
The Labor Secretary's megalomania: at a mine rescue contest in 2003, Chao handed out gold-colored coins, the size of a half-dollar with Chao's bas relief at the center. Since then, Chao has lined the executive offices of the Labor Department's headquarters with 58 pictures of herself and gone on to distribute lanyards and fleece blankets embroidered with her name.
Meanwhile in February 2006, Sen. McConnell earmarked $14.2 million for his lady-love to support the christening of a library wing at the University of Louisville, to be named in honor of Elaine (who never attended the university).
All paid for by America's workers.
