TOKYO – Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra's mission to reassure Japanese investors rattled by last year's supply chain-busting floods appears to be getting something of a mixed response.
Her government has promoted Ms. Yingluck's visit to Japan this week as an opportunity to win back the confidence of Japanese businesses affected by the devastating floods. The inundation knocked out the distribution of crucial car and electronics components world wide. Japanese firms were particularly badly affected. Japan is the single largest foreign investor in the country, and a Japan External Trade Organization survey released earlier this month reported that 67% of firms exporting to or investing in Thailand were hit by the deluge, which also claimed several hundred lives and drenched large swathes of the capital, Bangkok.

The Thai government says it is taking steps to prevent a repeat of last year's massive flooding. But experts warn that some of the government's big ideas – such as large-scale new dikes – probably won't be completed before seasonal rains arrive in just a few months.
Unusually heavy monsoonal rains in 2011 caused the worst inundations in Thailand in half a century. The floods killed hundreds of people, swamped industrial estates, and caused billions of dollars of economic damage. In a note sent to clients earlier this week, economists at Goldman Sachs warned of the risk that some companies might relocate from Thailand if the floods recur. Read More »
Rescue workers raced to find more than 800 people missing in the southern Philippines on Sunday after a series of flash floods killed more than 650 people, burying many in landslides and sweeping others out to sea. View a slideshow. Read More »
The famed temples in Thailand's ancient city of Ayutthaya were the country's most prominent tourist sites to be hit during recent severe flooding. The water has now largely drained from the area, and most of the structures are open to visitors. But efforts to assess the damage and begin needed repairs have only just begun.
Tourism officials have said, however, that the flooding around Ayutthaya could cost some $192 million in damages and lost income. Other estimates say damages alone at the temple complex could amount to $20 million. Read More »
Thailand now faces swarms of mosquitoes that have spawned as the country's floods recede.
"They are flying all over my house, up on the ceiling and on the walls," said Thanyathip Netichaiseth, 48, who lives in a three-story townhouse with two children that has been partly under water the past two weeks. "My ceiling is turning black from all the mosquitoes," she said. Although waters are slowly draining away after Thailand's worst flooding in decades–which left more than 600 people dead–many areas around Bangkok are still flooded. It could be weeks before all the affected homes and businesses are dry. Read More »
BANGKOK — A massive clean-up operation is beginning in Bangkok as floodwaters that swamped large chunks of the city begin to recede. It will likely be quite some time before life gets back to normal for the hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster. The floods brought debris, sediment and pollutants rolling into people's homes and businesses. Nationwide, over 600 people were killed by the floods since late July, mostly by drowning but there also have been a handful of electrocutions, and the country's manufacturing base has also been badly affected. Read More »
Water levels may have receded significantly in parts of Bangkok after weeks of devastating flooding, and the number of affected provinces in the Thai capital is now just 20 compared with a high of 64. But as more than 5.3 million remain affected by the floodwaters, the crisis is far from over for the Thai kingdom. The death toll — now at 594, according to the Thai government — continues to rise steadily, with more than 60 deaths since last Thursday.
Most of the flood-related deaths have been a result of drowning or electrocution, according to relief agencies, and there are no epidemic-related warnings to date. But this has not stopped some foreign embassies from urging their citizens to avoid traveling to the Thai capital for fear of disease outbreaks. Read More »
Thailand's transport authorities have a fresh flood problem–people are putting metal spikes on submerged roads. In some parts of the country, unknown persons have placed spikes on the road in an apparent bid to puncture vehicle tires and prevent buses and supply trucks getting in and out of affected areas. Read More »
BANGKOK – Thailand's floods are gradually receding and the clean-up is beginning in many parts of the country, but decisions over who gets wet and who stays dry continue to be a source of trouble for Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
The inner center of Bangkok has been spared the worst of the inundation, thanks in large part to a 15-kilometer-long sandbag barrier snaking through northern sections of the city and some vigorous pumping on the protected side. Read More »

Adhering to tradition, more than one Inside the Beltway reader has already submitted New Year's resolutions for our commander-in-chief to adhere to in 2009.
President Bush, obviously, is already counting down the days until he is kicking back in Texas, so the new batch of resolutions should be directed to the attention of President-elect Barack Obama.
In other words, put on your thinking caps and tell Inside the Beltway what you would like Mr. Obama to resolve to accomplish in the no doubt daunting first year of his administration. Please include your names and hometowns when emailing resolutions to Inside the Beltway columnist John McCaslin in care of the e-mail address listed at the bottom of the column.
"Imagine the surge of pride Illinois drivers will experience when making cross-country trips displaying this remarkable symbol of our beloved state!" writes Inside the Beltway reader Stan Welli of Aurora, Ill.
Mr. Welli forwarded a mock vehicle license plate bearing photographs of former Illinois Republican Gov. George Ryan (convicted of corruption in 2006, he is currently serving a six-plus-year prison term) and current Democratic Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich (who was arrested earlier this month and awaits a court appearance on corruption charges).
As for the license plate's slogan beneath each gubernatorial portrait: rather than "Land of Lincoln," it reads, "Where Our Governors Make Our License Plates."
Virtually every class of accommodation within reasonable proximity to President-elect Barack Obama's Inaugural ceremonies is being let by money-hungry Americans hoping to cash in on the much-anticipated arrival in the nation's capital of the country's 44th president.
Shell out enough bucks, for example, and the inauguration-goer can rent an entire town house in Foggy Bottom for a mere $15,000. If it's a room you're after, the starting bid is only $6,000 for a four-night stay in a king-size bed at the Ritz-Carlton Georgetown (the peddler, obviously, was smart enough to book the room many moons ago). Rest assured, there's lodgings in the offing for every budget and pocketbook.
"Obama Inauguration Trailer Park Reservation," reads an ad we discovered Sunday. "This is a reservation for a spot at Cherry Hill RV Park for your van or RV on the day before and the day of the Barack Obama inauguration. Cherry Hill RV park and campground is the closest campground to Washington, D.C." Hitch price at the College Park site in the Maryland suburb: $150.

Battle Fuel XT Review Summary
Goal: Build Muscle
Love using it can feel increase in energy. But don't ask for a free musclepharm sticker because nothing is free. *
Goal: Increase Strength
Excellent product, give it three to four weeks time, it brings solid strenght and excellence in your blood chemistry, also gives me good attitude *
Goal: Increase Strength
Really felt more enegy and drive throughout the day which obviously led to better workouts and building lean muscle. *
Goal: Build Muscle
I had to write a review because there was so much hype around this product. I do have to say that I did not get my testosterone levels checked.
So I do know that some of you will be critical in saying what I am basing my review on! So I am basing this on my overall sense of well being and taking notice on any changes in strength, weight loss or gain, stamina and sexual appetite.
So Battle Fuel XT gets low marks for me. I think that D-Aspartic acid simply is not the best choice for my body. I noticed little to no changes in my physical appearance, stamina, muscle mass, and sex drive. I decided to try Battle Fuel XT because of the marketing and it promised a multipronged approach to boosting test levels, increasing strength as well as being an estrogen suppressant. Oh well, didn't work for me.
I had better results using "Testofreak" which I cycled off about a month ago only to blow money on something that is a disappointment. Not advertizing for Testofreak but seems like tribulus based products work better for me.
Not saying it won't work for you, but for something that promised ground breaking results, it didn't work for me.

|Wow, that is some serious talent they put into the dub of this. I hope their performances are on par. Saw the fansub of this and enjoyed it a bunch, a true no brainer for Blu Ray purchase for me. Of course I will be catching it in the theatre if it gets anywhere near me.

|Why doesn't Disney get actual English dubbers instead of Hollywood actors, who struggle to match lip flaps? People always complain how English dubbing "sucks" but it's not gonna get "good" if they refuse to hire voice actors. The general consensus is that the 80s Streamline dubs of the Ghibli movie are inferior to their Disney counterparts, but at least those dubs used VOICE actors. People always say Ghibli dubs are "the few good dubs" but they're really not.

I don't really see the problem with using "normal" actors as voices. You don't just act in live action with your body after all.
Still, I have been waiting for this one to be dubbed and I look forward to what Ghibli can do producing alone after working with Disney. (No doubt they will still distribute though?)

Um, no
Mewtwo Strikes Back gross in the US/Canada: $85,744,662
Pokémon: The Movie 2000/Pocket Monsters the Movie: Revelation Lugia gross in the US/Canada: $43,758,684
Pokémon 3: The Movie/Pocket Monsters the Movie: Lord of the "UNKNOWN" Tower ENTEI: $17,052,128
Now, let's look at the most successful Ghibli films in the US/Canada.
Arriety: $19,202,743
Ponyo: $15,090,399
Spirited Away: $10 million+
Notice a little trend? Arriety barely made more money than Pokemon movie 3, which is not a good thing, since movie 3's gross in the US/Canada is by FAR the weakest. I'm not even going to delve into the other two. Using celebrities/Hollywood Stars=/= more popular. Veronica Taylor isn't near as popular as her Japanese counterpart, Rika Matsumoto, yet the 1st movie made more money domestically than Japan, let alone someone like Bridgit Mendler, who is in shows, which sell a shit ton of merchandise and gains ratings in the millions(not that Pokemon in the USA probably didn't achieve that) which proves my point.

Considering that fact they these "normal" actors have struggled in the past with lip flaps and the fact Crispin Freeman could easily do it, shows that it makes more sense to have people who do this shit regularly and it makes more sense to use VOICE actors, to do VOICE work. The same also applies to the Japanese cast.

You arr talking about one outstanding VA who OUTVAS most of the competition though. I think most normal actors and most semi regulars are just about on par with the acting bit. They just need to work on their timing.
Beside. Anime movies don't do well in state theaters. Wasn't Arrietty the top grossing anime movie? Or is?

As I listed above, it's Mewtwo's Counterattack/Mewtwo Strikes Back, with over $80 million grossed. Next is Pokemon movie 2, next is Arrietty. Also, Freeman may be a top class voice actor, but he can be easily outperformed by VAs like Steve Blum, Michael McConnohie and Jamieson Price.

The Ghibli movies have usually been limited releases. Until Ponyo, they rarely played on more than 100 screens. Ponyo played in 900, and Arrietty played in 1,000 with a small marketing campaign. Most Hollywood movies are released to 4,000.
Pokemon had already made a name of itself, had a HUGE marketing campaign, was released to more screens than all the Ghibli films combined, and it made more money than all the Ghibli films combined and DOUBLED. Clearly it did not need celebrities, since non were involved (though Rachael Lillis did tweet that celebs were attached to the film originally, and that DiCaprio was in talks to play Ash). Essentially, the big name on the film was the Pokemon brand itself.
The Ghibli films, however, have always been a huge hit here on home video. Kikki sold a million VHS copies here when it first came out, and it's theatrical release was limited to a few screens and film festivals.
I don't mind the English voice actors for Ghibli movies. They do a fantastic job. No, the movies technically don't "need" name actors, but they work. It helps that GOOD celebrities are hired like Ron Howard, Cloris Leachman, Uma Thurman, Matt Damon, and Lauren Becall, not people like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake (a certain other Justin), and whoever People magazine has on the cover this week.
Studio Ghibli also approves of these dubs, and Hayao Miyazaki has had some involvement in production (he did hate the 80s dub of Nausicaa, prompting him to have a close eye on future English productions).
I wish more animated films would cast more full-time voice actors myself, but when they do such a great job in the Ghibli movies, I can't complain.

Your lack of logic has me rolling my eyes. You cannot compare the targeted audience of Ghibli films to that of Pokemon fans in the height of the Pokemon boom in America. Ghibli films in America are considered family friendly art house animated films. Pokemon in the late 90s/early 2000s was a cash cow phenomena, and not critically acclaimed.
And on the celebrity front, I remember clearly when I was much younger that the only way I managed to get my mother to sit down and watch Princess Mononoke with me was telling her the cast list. And I know first hand now with having a bunch of friends now with kids that some of those friends went to Ponyo because they love Tina Fey.
This cast for Poppy Hill actually has me wanting to give the English dub a try.

My Dogs eye is cloudy and red what do I do
Customer Question
I noticed a few weeks ago my dog's her left eye getting like a blue and now it is quite blue and the liner gets to almost covering it sometimes and it is quite red...I have had a dog with cataracts but I don't know what to do..

Hi Connie,
Your dog may have glaucoma or Anterior Uveitis or a corneal ulcer or cataracts. Symptoms of Glaucoma include conjucntivits (red eye), discharge from the eye, light sensativity, possible swollen eye. As the condition worsens and pressure increases, the pupil can dilate and the cornea becomes cloudy. It is important to diagnose this early to save the dog's sight in the eye. Depending upon the underlying cause for the Glaucoma, the other eye could also be at danger as well. Treatment depends upon identifying the underlying cause for the increased pressure in the eye. You can read more about this here;
Symptoms of Anterior Uveitis are similar and include redness, tearing, squinting in bright light, small or uneven pupil, cloudy appearance to the eye and a unevenly colored iris. Treatment for this condition may be topical or oral medication depending on the cause. You can read more about this here:
A corneal ulcer may also be to blame and may be caused by injury, eyelashes scratching the eye and has similar symptoms to those of glaucoma and anterior uveitis. The third eyelid frequently covers the eye so sometimes the eye is not able to be seen. You can read about this here:
You can read up on Cataracts here:
The following site goes over reasons for cloudiness of the eye.
As you have seen, this could be an emergency situation depending on the severity of the condition. However, some cloudiness as a dog ages is normal and called nuclear sclerosis. I would have my dog seen as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the eye.
The itchy skin could be a few different things. First thing is to definitely rule out fleas. If your dog is on advantage or frontline, you can skip this step. If they are not, you should at least explore the possibility of fleas by examining your dog's skin especially around the rump area under a bright light. Fleas are fast and are a reddish brown color so you have to look closely. Frequently you will only see flea dirt (feces). If you find fleas dirt or what you think is flea dirt, get a moist white paper towel and rub it on the area. If it turns reddish color then it most likely your dog has fleas. A flea comb or lice comb run through the area may capture a live flea as well.
If fleas are ruled out, it may be dry skin. If you believe this may be the cause, I think your best bet would be to supplement your dog's diet with Omega n3 fatty acids. You can do this using fish oil capsules.
Then there might be a skin condition such as staph dermatitis or yeast dermatitis. These skin conditions are generally seen with allergies. Staph usually occurs on the lower regions of your pet and tends to have small pimple type bumps. Shampoo containing Chlorhexiderm and/or Oatmeal can help with this condition. Yeast typically shows as a greasy area that has a sweet musty odor. Sometimes the skin can become inflamed, darker and thickened due to itching. Yeast likes areas such as between toes, armpits and ears. Selsun Blue Shampoo can help with Yeast dermatitis. When shampooing, lather and leave on 15 minutes before rinsing. These shampoos are not meant to be a cure, just a relief until your pet can see a Vet. Benadryl can be given to your dog, the dose is up to 2mg per pound every 8 hours for itching due to allergies.

Here is a site that goes over itching in dogs.
Hope these suggestions help.

It may just be a scratch and if so, hopefully the damage can be reversed with no permanent damage. It does sound like this might be what has happened. Have her seen so you can stop worrying. Your worry can be transmitted to the dogs causing them to exhibit anxiety as well.

Bettye LaVette On World Cafe
Set List
- "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"
- "It Don't Come Easy"
- "Salt Of The Earth"
With a sound that combines soul with blues, funk, rock, gospel and country, Bettye LaVette has always been hard to classify. After finally garnering mainstream acclaim for 2005 release I've Got My Own Hell to Raise, LaVette is back with Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, a collection of British Invasion covers of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and more.
Despite the lofty set of material, LaVette succeeds in her renditions, thanks to her earthy, soulful voice. She completely reworks these tunes, often giving them slower tempos, which really allow her vocals to shine. Hear three songs from the album, performed live in the World Cafe studio.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisDzien Good Cleaner - not just for cats! I have four cats so I always need some sort of cleaner and paper towels. This is my favorite for spot cleaning. It's great on hardwood floors to clean up throw-up, food particles, urine, whatever mess cats can make. I even use it on messes the cats didn't make! Love the odor of the cleaner, smells clean and fresh. April 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by khissaadove Liquid Gold in a Bottle This is a fantastic product. I used it to clean up a vomit pet stain. It came up immediately. I have used many products for cleaning up pet stains and I can tell you that few ever did a really great job and most left residual staining on the carpet. This product cleaned it up like a pro and left the carpet in its original condition. I would highly recommend this product. January 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mdale22 Removes Odors! Nature's Miracle JFC Oxy Cat Stain & Odor Remover really does the trick. I have two cats and I use Nature's Miracle on a daily basis to remove odors. It's great for cleaning a messy litter box too! January 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by kimminer1 We have used this for years Great product and price. The best price we could find online. Thank you October 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anniken Works So far I have used it for laundry, and also adding some to the water when cleaning title floors. All I have to say, is this stuff works great, eliminating any odors and leaving the surfaces clean and smelling fresh. Don't know yet how it will work on carpet stains. October 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CDM30 Great odor and stain remover! This product is great!! Removes odor and stains, pleasant smell also. Glad I came across it. I have a male cat that doesn't like to be told "NO", when he can't go outside; so he will spray the wooden door. This product doesn't harm wood, which is a huge benefit. September 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sbasford Awesome! One of the best cleaning products available. It has kept my carpets looking like new. Besides using it for pet messes, I have found that it works just as well on many other stains. I spilled raspberry Crystal Lite on my carpet and it cleaned up the stain and left no trace of the red color in the carpet. September 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Katheryn Serves the purpose..;, I have used Nature's Miracle off and on for several years. I find it helpful for quick and light clean-up, but I do not find that it handles heavy staining or smell. I have never written a review of this product before so with this current 'gallon' , I will be assessing more closely. September 13, 2014

Hebrew plays a vital role in text study. Therefore, Pardes requires that all students devote at least a month during the summer to improving their Hebrew proficiency in a formal setting of their choice unless they are exempted by the Director of Admissions.
There are dozens of ulpan programs in and outside of Israel with a wide range in quality. Pardes directs incoming students to programs which previous students have found beneficial.
Note: You should plan on starting Pardes on time, even in the few cases that your ulpan hasn't ended yet (Haifa, Milah).
Summer Ulpan Options
Middlebury School of Hebrew
Middlebury, VT
Opened in the summer of 2008, the Brandeis University-Middlebury School of Hebrew combines the best of two worlds—a time-tested curriculum developed at Brandeis and an immersion-learning environment for which the Language Schools have been celebrated for nearly a century.
As a student in the School of Hebrew you'll benefit from our rigorous approach to daily classroom instruction, leading to rapid gains in the four major skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Outside the classroom, you'll participate in organized in-language co-curricular activities—including soccer, theater, story-telling, and film club—each designed to help you build new vocabulary while developing cultural fluency.

Ulpan-Or provides personal Hebrew programs based on the "RLA" (Rapid Language Acquisition) concept. Progress of one full level is usually achieved in just two weeks. Ulpan-Or locations: Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv or anywhere in the world through Skype lessons. Levels: From total beginner to very advanced, each student gets a personalized individual program after level assessment.
- Ulpan-Or program options:
- Guided Personal Distance Learning: Ulpan-Or's GDL program allows students to be surrounded by Hebrew anywhere in the world. A lot of students choose to start studying by distance learning prior to arriving in Israel. During the course, students receive personal coaching via internet communication such as Skype or phone, allowing them to advance their Hebrew significantly and to gain the skills necessary to speak fluently and confidently. The course is based on Ulpan-Or's unique teaching method (using study-kits and one-on-one communication) and provides the attention and intimate feeling of learning with a face-to-face teacher. Usually people advance one full level just after two-three such modules. Each monthly module costs $439 and includes the accompanying study materials needed for your level. The monthly modules start at the beginning of every month and include a total of eight one-on-one sessions.
- Mini-Israel" Workshop in Israel: Ulpan-Or's Mini-Israel Hebrew program is an intensive one-on-one program (based in either Jerusalem or Tel Aviv) that combines classroom studies—three hours each day with one outdoor activity (hour and a half each) per week, allowing our students to be "immersed" in Hebrew and to rapidly and significantly advance their Hebrew skills. Students are usually able to advance one full level in just two weeks! Two-week Mini Israel: $1528 + tax includes books, tour and audio.
- "Sabra" Immersion Program: Five-day immersion programs for adults featuring four outdoor activities (hour and a half each) around Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. These workshops have been designed to combine classroom studies with Ulpan-Or touring activities letting you be immersed in Hebrew most of the day. A typical "Sabra" day consists of three hours of one-on-one study in the morning, a break, and then another hour and a half interactive outdoor activity. Learn, breathe and eat Hebrew over a period of five days in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv! Speak to Israelis in live situations. Cost of one-week Sabra program is: $1570 + tax and it includes books, tours and audio materials. Cost of two-week program is: $2690 + tax and it includes books, tour and audio materials.
- "Mini Israel" and "Sabra" workshops start every Sunday throughout the year (as long as there is an available teacher). Daily session standard options: Morning option: 8:00-11:00 a.m.; Noon option: 12:00-3:00 p.m.; Afternoon option: 3:00-6:00 p.m. (later options are available upon request).
- Ulpan-Or offers a 5% discount to all Pardes students.

The New York Times' Racist Attack on Clarence Thomas
It is interesting that a major newspaper would so blatantly call out the only black man on the Supreme Court for borrowing language in briefings. He is by far not the only one, and his average rate of language borrowed from briefings is not that much different from his peers. Over the years, the average rate of nearly identical language between a party's brief and the | Read More »

It's not a bad game, but it's certainly not a friendly game -- something that you'd notice even if you weren't coming off of Dragon Quest IX, and something that is only exacerbated for those who are.
It's not a bad game, but it's certainly not a friendly game -- something that you'd notice even if you weren't coming off of Dragon Quest IX, and something that is only exacerbated for those who are.
Originally released for the Super Famicom in 1995, Dragon Quest VI is the last of the numbered Dragon Quest games to be localized. With IV and V, it forms a "Zenithia Trilogy," loosely connected by a common castle location; however, Dragon Quest VI doesn't really have anything to do with those other games. It takes place in a new world -- two worlds, actually, one of which is a dream version of the other. Your hero and his party discover the dual nature of the world(s), and attempt to find their true selves as they fight the monster attempting to dominate both worlds.
As ever, designer Yuji Horii is able to turn what would be a bog-standard save-the-world quest into a lighthearted, upbeat romp. I honestly don't know the secret behind it -- "We might not be real people, and we're in a town where everyone lives in fear of the monster that attacks every night" shouldn't manage to be so cute. "The king just blinked out of existence! Road trip!" I always love going to a new town (traveling in my floating island, or flying bed) and finding out what its particular quirk is, what ailment I can step in and save.
Combat is, in general, uncomplicated as ever, a turn-based fight/item/magic affair against slimes and other cute, but often deadly, monsters. Each person in your four-member party has unique skills, including healing or offensive magic, special attacks, or status-changing abilities. You know the flow of this already: one character focuses on healing, while your stronger characters pelt enemies with physical attacks and spells. You can even set your party to operate automatically in a few different styles.

One job in particular, the Monster Master, seemed completely incomprehensible until I learned that developer Artepiazza had removed the monster recruiting mechanic from the DS version. Instead of using the Monster Master's abilities to recruit monsters from the battlefield, now you'll just ... meet some monsters in towns. This serves to make the Monster Master class more of a "guy who has some status effect spells" and to confuse the hell out of anyone who doesn't look the game up on Wikipedia before playing. That could be said of the job system in general -- it's largely a mystery without external reading.
That kind of underexplained system, and the difficulty, and the frequent, random battles are all par for the course for a game of Dragon Quest VI's vintage. And, in fact, this is a very good Super NES-era RPG. It's got the same kind of magic that characterizes the Dragon Quest series overall, the kind of storytelling prowess and (mostly) easy to understand battle system that makes it the perfect series for casual role-playing gamers. This particular game, however, is best left to those with a bit of Dragon Questing already under their belts.
This review is based on the DS version of Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation provided by Nintendo. The reviewer played the game for approximately 20 hours, but not to completion.

I'm due August 7th with a little girl, and at her anatomy scan at 18 weeks they noticed her left kidney was slightly enlarged, they repeated the ultrasound at 24 weeks and then again at 28 weeks. At 24 weeks it was measuring 9mm, and now it's 1.4cm, classifying it as Severe Hydronephrosis. I'm being sent to a city 6 hours (driving) south of here to see a Maternal Fetal specialist to determine the plan of action and whether I'm able to deliver at the hospital here due to the lack of NICU and pediatric specialists.
I guess I'm just looking for anyone who's gone through this, I have no idea what to expect or what I'm truly facing so ANY advice or words of wisdom is greatly appreciated.

The following essay reexamines Saul Bellow's much discussed relationship to Dostoevsky by focussing on the genealogy of boredom, with its dual origins as source of lyrical expression and/or prison of moral ambivalence. Specifically, though Bellow criticism past and present has argued by turns, and sometimes simultaneously, that Bellow is a disciple of Dostoevsky the moralist or of his "polyphonic" art, it finds upon closer inspection that what Bellow truly strives to envisage in/through the glass of Dostoevsky's "Eastern" art is a harmonious resolution to the paradox inherent in this alliance of apparently incompatible ideals—the artist's creed of disinterestedness and the moralist-polemicist's commitment to self-realization through conviction and action. However, where Bellow and his critics see concord, Dostoevsky and his critics see discord. And with reason, since Bellow's desire to reconcile the artist and the moralist in Dostoevsky (and in himself) leads him to ignore boredom's moral-intellectual antecedents in the literature of Western Enlightenment and consequently assert his bias as a "spokesman for our culture . . . a defender of the Western cultural tradition" (Clayton 1979, 3). Conversely, but by the same token, the "constant conflict . . . between the propagandist and creative artist" (Magarshak 1975, 311) enacted in Dostoevsky's oeuvre points to his polemic not only with the West but, of course, with himself.
The importance of the gaze in Rear Window has been appreciated for quite some time, and many interpretations of Hitchcock's film and career note how the framing of multiple narratives implicates the spectator in the ethics of watching. This article draws upon the insights of previous studies of this phenomenon, but it also emphasizes the ways in which seeing and being seen are important reciprocal processes within the social dynamic. Examining the voyeur's resistance to being seen, its impact on his interpersonal relationships, and the implications of that resistance on the structure of urban life, this article's analysis will show how urban spaces are figured as zones of subjectivity and objectification that the voyeur relies on to maintain his privileged position as observer. When he is finally dislodged from his safe position as subject, he is able to overcome his resistance to being seen by others and to be interpersonally connected to others.
William S. Burroughs thematized Maya priests as gods of death in texts from Junky to The Job. Ah Pook Is Here takes its title from a Maya god of the dead, Ah Puch. Burroughs had many valid reasons to cast Maya priests as emblems of control and death even though he contradicted the mid-century archaeological view of the Maya as a benevolent theocracy. In recognizing the violence in Maya culture Burroughs was remarkably prescient. In the mid-1980s, however, came a radical change in archaeological interpretation which contradicts many of Burroughs's Maya appropriations: priests have all but disappeared from the archaeological record to be replaced (ironically) by scribes, the codices are not books of the dead, and hieroglyphic "picture" writing can not circumvent the Word virus. Burroughs's centipede symbol recalls the Senders of Interzone who, like his Maya priests, turn into giant centipedes.
This article offers a definite example of Herman Melville's still widely unacknowledged dependence on French author Honoré de Balzac for devising his narrative structures, ontology, and scheme of characterization. After demonstrating that Melville had ample opportunity to have experienced significant awareness and analysis of Balzac's massive La Comédie humaine by 1857, the author compares specific narrative and linguistic elements between Balzac's "Christ in Flanders" and Melville's The Confidence-Man to demonstrate the extent of this reliance. In the process, the essay offers an explanation for several unanswered questions about the novel, particularly the meaning of the inserted critical chapters on original characters, the ontological nature of the satiric tale, and the ferryboat resetting of what has assumed to have been inspired by an urban incident. The article concludes that it was Balzac's influence and achievement that drove Melville throughout his career to attempt to create a sociological corpus of American literature.
In contrast to the close attention accorded its train and car counterparts, the bus is a neglected site of cultural interpretation in American studies. "John Steinbeck's Sweetheart: The Cosmic American Bus" opens a long overdue discussion about the "meanings" of the bus in American culture. It also offers a new perspective on an overlooked novel, The Wayward Bus. Focusing on issues of gender, race, and class, the essay examines Steinbeck's representation of buses and bus travel in The Wayward Bus and situates it among other bus portrayals. Although often only fleetingly, buses perpetually appear in American literature, music, and film, associated with urban and rural extremes; minutely mapped city spaces and unknowably vast (often western) open ones; working-class transformation and middle-class disorientation. Signifying a nation huge in size but local in character, the bus is a class-loaded symbol of America that at once evokes the mundane and the extraordinary.
When discussing Edith Wharton's ghost stories, scholars tend to emphasize themes of repressed sexuality and gender, in particular the struggles of women to overcome the traditional roles that threaten to imprison them. While sexual and gender politics undoubtedly inhabit the haunted space of Wharton's stories, a remarkable number of the stories also exhibit anxiety over money and class. In some of the ghost stories, this anxiety is plainly visible, reflecting Wharton's sharp critique of the corrupt nouveau riches and the decaying aristocracy. In other tales, however, less noticed ghosts expose the depth of Wharton's anxiety over class power and inherited money, raising uncomfortable questions about the legitimacy of the class system on which Wharton depended for her own wealth. A close examination of the ghost stories reveals Wharton's participation in and response to America's anxious debate over wealth and class during the rapidly changing economic landscape of the early twentieth-century.
In a recent essay, Michael Levenson compellingly claims that A.S. Byatt's novella "Morpho Eugenia" dramatizes the crucial nineteenth-century intellectual debates that anticipate contemporary theory. According to Levenson, Byatt responded to the nineteenth-century crisis in knowledge by constructing a reinvigorated realism, which is based on a fluid theory of language as incarnation. By contrast, I contend that the nineteenth-century crisis led Byatt to distinguish two separate rhetorical stances, one that takes into account the role that anthropomorphism plays in the construction of knowledge, and one that either dismisses or ignores the role of anthropomorphism in the construction of knowledge. For Byatt, since anthropomorphism is inescapable, it is impossible to overcome it. Therefore, instead of trying to overcome anthropomorphism by reinvigorating realism, humans should learn how to interact responsibly with others and the world given the inevitability of the anthropomorphic. Such is the primary lesson to be learned from the nineteenth century crisis in knowledge, according to Byatt.
This essay posits the conceptual rudiments of "rhetoric of narrative." Approaching contemporary narrative theory according to the classical trivium, the essay explores what and how stories mean and argue. It focuses on the relevance and value of the rhetorical tradition for illuminating distinctive features of a "rhetoric of narrative," showing how a "rhetoric" of narrative builds upon a "grammar" and a "logic" of narrative. Ultimately the essay posits that narratives can be positioned at some point along a continuum represented by poles roughly characterized as "aesthetic" and "ideological," with propagandistic argument lying at the latter extreme. The chief literary example for applying the conceptual distinctions emerging from our investigations is George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

FCC proposes set-top box rule revamp, WSJ reports
Federal regulators are anticipated to propose an overhaul of rules for television set-top boxes, a move that targets reducing bills for cable viewers and giving more access to web-based programming, the Wall Street Journal reports. FCC chairman Tom Wheeler's proposal would likely include providing cable and satellite customers more options when it comes to using their service provider's set-top box and cable app, the report says. Such a move could open up the market to alternative set-top-box providers, including TiVo (TIVO) and Alphabet's (GOOG) Google, the report notes.
