Rechargeable molecular cluster batteries
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are a type of rechargeable battery commonly used in consumer electronics. They are currently one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best capacity-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. Lithium is useful in batteries because of its lightness (it is the lightest metal) and because of the high voltage of the redox reaction between Li and Li+. In lithium ion batteries, a layered compound - lithium copper oxide or or lithium nickel oxide - is utilized as a cathode. Although this material can provide high capacity, its charging/discharging rates are slow because these processes include the absorption/desorption of lithium in the cathode. Recently, organic radical batteries have been developed as a new type of rechargeable battery, in which organic radical polymers are utilized as a cathode active material. They achieved a very fast chargeable/dischargeable rate, though their capacities are lower than those of the lithium ion batteries. A lot of research has gone into fabricating lithium batteries that achieve both high capacity and fast charging/discharging. Researchers in Japan came up with a completely new idea - the molecular cluster battery - where the cathode active material is a well-known manganese molecular cluster that is stable and insoluble to most solvents and exhibits a multi-step redox reaction. Although the battery was rechargeable, in early experiments the fast charging-discharging was not yet achieved due to the chemical decomposition of the cluster. Nevertheless, this is a first step that opens up a new branch of research into high-performance rechargeable molecular cluster batteries.

PEORIA, Ariz. — John Moores is back in control of the Padres after Jeff Moorad's attempt to buy the baseball team disintegrated. But what the longtime Padres owner will do next with the franchise is unknown, perhaps even to Moores himself.
Four scenarios seem possible:
- The group formerly run by Moorad, who stepped down Thursday as CEO, still has until March 2014 to purchase the team, multiple industry sources confirmed. The group is now headed by Ron Fowler, former CEO of beverage distributor Mesa Distributing, a source said. Fowler didn't respond to a formal request for comment made through the Padres. The group would have to purchase Moores' 51 percent stake and find a CEO suitable for approval by Major League Baseball's owners.
- Moores and Moorad's group could decide to co-exist, with Moores running the operation.
- The two sides could agree to find one buyer to purchase the team outright.
- Moores could attempt to purchase back the remaining 49 percent.
No matter what happens, this much is clear: The Padres are once again an attractive commodity.
With a lengthy television broadcast rights deal with Fox Sports San Diego worth potentially $1 billion, one of the top farm systems in baseball and a 40-man roster devoid of overpriced contracts, the Padres should be able to attract buyers if they're put back on the market.
Last week, Forbes valued the Padres at $458 million, up 13 percent from the prior year.
The Padres' pending TV deal — the team is still waiting for approval from Major League Baseball — could be worth $1 billion over 20 years. That deal means the Padres are likely to sell for more than the $525 million Moorad agreed to pay in 2009. Moorad withdrew his application to buy the club earlier this month, two months after Major League Baseball raised concerns about his potential ownership.
Moorad didn't respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Moores, who purchased the Padres in 1994 for $80 million, could decide he wants to remain an owner. After all, he reportedly tried to purchase another pro franchise, the Atlanta Hawks, last year. Or perhaps he'll decide he is ready to move on to other ventures.
Moores hasn't returned multiple requests for comment and team officials said he isn't being made available for comment. But he told UT San Diego last week that he's not actively shopping the Padres. Interim CEO Tom Garfinkel deferred comment to Moores when asked about the team's power structure and future ownership situation.
When Moores put the team up for sale in December 2008, the Padres were coming off a 99-loss season, and Moores ordered then-CEO Sandy Alderson to reduce payroll from a club-record $73.6 million in 2008 to $40 million.
One month after he announced the team was for sale, Moores agreed to sell to Moorad in installments over five years. Over his nearly three-year tenure, Moorad continued to make moves to reform the Padres' business model that many fans considered unpopular.
Under Moorad, the Padres traded Jake Peavy, Adrian Gonzalez, Mike Adams and Mat Latos, all for prospect packages. They also allowed Heath Bell, Yorvit Torrealba, Kevin Correia, Aaron Harang and Jon Garland to depart via free agency in order to receive extra picks in the amateur draft.
Those moves have put the Padres in position for sustained long-term success, because their revamped farm system — one ESPN rated as No. 1 in baseball last month — should keep the roster filled with affordable talent for years to come.
Where Moorad may have gone wrong, and what may have led to what multiple sources described as a falling-out with Moores, was the way he handled some of his other dealings.
One NL executive said Moores believed Moorad planned to use some of the money from the television deal to complete the purchase of the Padres. Fox Sports San Diego originally structured its deal with the Padres to be front-loaded with cash, similar to Fox's planned deal with the Dodgers and their embattled owner, Frank McCourt. Major League Baseball disallowed McCourt's deal because it believed he would use the money to settle debts not related to his team.
"(Moores) thought the TV money might circle back to pay him out," the source said.
In October, Moorad called the departures of former general manager Jed Hoyer and assistant GM Jason McLeod, who made lateral moves to the Chicago Cubs, and the hiring of Josh Byrnes as Hoyer's replacement, a "unique situation."
But Hoyer, who had two years and a club option for 2014 left on his contract and was in escrow on a La Jolla home, said in November he didn't originally have an interest in joining the Cubs.
When Chicago president of baseball operations Theo Epstein first contacted Moorad for permission to speak with a member of the Padres' front office, Epstein requested Byrnes, who was at the time a special assistant to baseball operations and considered available, instead of Hoyer, an industry source confirmed.
After he was offered a five-year deal by the Cubs, Hoyer told XX 1090 in November that he went to Moorad with a request to match the offer but was declined.
According to a source, Moorad rebuffed Hoyer "because he was the GM of a last-place team." Hoyer declined to comment for this story.
Last season, the Padres not only had the second-lowest payroll in baseball, but they had to deal with the loss of Gonzalez, who earned a club-friendly $5.5 million in 2011. Gonzalez was traded to stay in line with Moorad's philosophy of capitalizing on value of experienced players.
Byrnes, who was hired by Hoyer and McLeod in December 2010, was Moorad's first GM in Arizona. Moorad wanted to ensure Byrnes had another chance to succeed in the majors after he was dismissed by the Diamondbacks in July 2010.
What happens next is uncertain.
Moores told UT San Diego last week that he believes "the air is out of that balloon" for any deal including Moorad as the team's owner. Moores also refused to speculate on what might happen with the club.
Fowler or another partial owner, Wayne Seltzer, formerly the head of Carlsbad-based Seltzer Companies, could try to buy the team from Moores. Moores could also hang onto the team and see whether one of the groups that didn't get the Dodgers ---- who were sold Tuesday night to a group headed by Magic Johnson ---- is interested in buying the Padres, who could be a nice consolation prize.
Either way, Moores stands to make a lot of money.

U.K. Passes Internet Censorship and Disconnection Law
Late Thursday night the U.K. Parliament passed the controversial Digital Economy Bill, which grants the U.K. government sweeping new powers to control access to the Internet.
The Digital Economy Bill has been the subject of heavy entertainment industry lobbying and widespread concern amongst U.K. citizens and telecommunications companies because it included provisions that would allow the U.K. government to censor websites considered "likely to be used for or in connection with an activity that infringes copyright," and disconnect the Internet connection of any household in the U.K. with an IP address alleged to have engaged in copyright infringement. Despite the many concerns expressed with the Bill's provisions, including questions by some Members of Parliament about whether these provisions could be used to block access to the Wikileaks website, the bill was rushed through Parliament -- apparently with several amendments that we're still assessing -- after only two hours of debate in a special late-night "wash-up" session.
If you're in the U.K., we encourage you to join the Open Rights Group's campaign and express your views to your MPs now. You might also want to switch to an Internet Service Provider that understands the implications of the Digital Economy Bill and is willing to commit to protecting your civil liberties, like Talk Talk.

'There are no facts, only interpretations'
This editorial refers to 'Long-term results of a randomized trial comparing three different devices for percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale'†, by M. Hornung et al., on page 3362 and 'Patent foramen ovale transcatheter closure vs. medical therapy on recurrent vascular events: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials'‡, by P. Rengifo-Moreno et al., on page 3342
Friedrich Nietzsche's quote in the title could be modified to read 'There are no facts, only believers'. This modification captures and encompasses many of the issues highlighted in the articles by Hornung et al.1 and Pabb et al.2 related to the complex multifaceted field of patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure and stroke.
There are several accepted observations which could serve as facts:
PFOs are essential in utero and remain frequent during early and adult life, and are documented in ∼20–30% of asymptomatic individuals. The incidence of PFO is significantly increased in patients with cryptogenic stroke.3
Stroke is one of the medical disorders most feared by all patients and ourselves alike.
Among the list of multiple conditions, many of which may occur either individually or together in an individual patient and may be either associated with stroke or can result in a stroke, is the presence of a PFO, particularly a complex PFO.
The causal relationship between PFO and stroke has been controversial.4
A variety of percutaneous devices are available which can close or modify PFOs and abolish right-to-left shunt.
There are a number of meta-analyses of observational studies of PFO closure and outcome.5,6
The recent articles by Hornung et al.1 and Pabb et al.2 shed some light on selected aspects of these observations. As such, they are part of a growing body of information which is complex and often confusing; they add both to the complexity and to the confusion.
Hornung et al.1 report on the longer term results of a randomized trial which compared three different devices: the Amplatzer PFO/ASD occluder (ACA Medical, Plymouth, MN, USA), the Helex septal occluder (W.L. Gore and Associates, Flagstaff, AZ, USA), and the CardioSeal-STARflex device (NMT, Boston, MA, USA), each of which was used in 220 patients. All of these devices had CE mark approval. This was a single-centre study of 660 patients enrolled over a 4 year period during which all procedures were performed by a single operator. One wonders parenthetically about the number of patients during this period of time seen with PFO and cerebral ischaemic symptoms who were treated with conventional anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy alone or were at least offered that possibility. No patients were lost to follow-up during a mean follow-up time of 59.2 ± 6.0 months. There were several notable findings. Device implantation for PFO closure was technically successful in all interventions. At 5 years of follow-up, complete closure rates ranged from 100% in the Amplatzer group to 96.8% in patients treated with Helex occluders. During follow-up, however, 36% of patients had required a second intervention for closure of a residual shunt. Perhaps most important were significant differences detected in the primary composite endpoint of transient ischaemic attack (TIA), stroke, cerebral death, or paradoxical embolism between the three different devices. This endpoint occurred in 3.0, 4.1, and 5.9%, respectively, for Amplatzer, Helex, and CardioSeal-STARflex (P = 0.042 comparing results with Amplatzer with those with the other two devices). Survival analysis documented that the Amplatzer device was superior in this regard to the Cardio Seal-STARflex (P = 0.01). There was, however, no significant difference between the three devices regarding the combined stroke and death rate or stroke and vascular death. Importantly, the specific endpoint of stroke was not significantly different between the three devices (P = 0.36), but only a total of 12 events occurred at 5 years of follow-up. In terms of TIA, there was a trend towards a reduction with Amplatzer (0.058), but only a total of 10 events were documented. In addition, the frequency of new-onset atrial fibrillation at follow-up varied, being highest in patients in the CardioSeal-STARflex group. This rhythm by itself may result in thrombus in the left atrial appendage (LAA) and the potential for stroke.
The second important observation in the Hornung study is that in this group of patients overall, the frequency of the primary composite endpoint was low (3.8% overall). As the authors note, at the time when the study was initiated, there were insufficient data on event frequency to be able to size the trial appropriately and select an optimal sample size for adequate statistical power analysis. This low event rate continues to affect subsequent trials.2
Both of these findings have important implications—subsequent trials must be planned given the fact that not all devices may be the same in terms of either complete shunt closure or endpoints, which include TIA, stroke, cerebral death, or paradoxical embolus. Secondly, large numbers of patients are needed because the event rates of stroke/TIA are low both in patients treated with closure and in those treated medically.
In the second study by Pabb et al.,2 the authors report a meta-analysis of three randomized clinical trials, all of which have been published.7–9 Importantly, this meta-analysis lacks individual-level data for analyses; this limitation decreases the significance of potential conclusions. In addition, the medical therapy in all three trials was not standardized, varied tremendously, and the adjunctive therapy in the device group also differed, making a meta-analysis strategy potentially problematic.
The most important issue is that as the authors state 'all three randomized clinical trials had negative results'.2 Indeed, the final conclusions as reported in each study document that specific finding: (i) 'Closure of a patent foramen ovale for secondary prevention of cryptogenic embolism did not result in a significant reduction in the risk of recurrent embolic events or death as compared with medical therapy'9; (ii) 'In patients with cryptogenic stroke or TIA who had a patent foramen ovale, closure with a device did not offer a greater benefit than medical therapy alone for the prevention of recurrent stroke or TIA';7 and (iii) 'In the primary intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant benefit associated with closure of a patent foramen ovale in adults who had had a cryptogenic ischemic stroke. However, closure was superior to medical therapy alone in the prespecified per-protocol and as-treated analyses, with a low rate of associated risks'8 (Table 1). It is a principal of trial design that if the primary trial endpoint is negative, any other analyses should be considered hypothesis-generating. Pabb et al. analyse the data in a variety of different non-primary endpoint strategies including per-protocol analysis which show only borderline statistical significance (P = 0.05) and in subgroup analyses of high risk patients and PFO characteristics which detected a tendency towards benefit in those with significant shunt through the PFO (P = 0.06). Some of the results of these subgroup analyses are not consistent with conventional thinking. For example, in younger patients <45 years there was no significant benefit compared with the older patients when randomized to the closure group. One would have thought that younger patients with presumed fewer co-morbid conditions would have benefited more because the aetiology of a central nervous system ischaemic event would have been more likely to be related to paradoxical embolus via the PFO. This would be consistent with previous case–control and observational studies suggesting a higher occurrence of PFO in cryptogenic stroke, particularly in younger patients. In addition, the presence of an atrial septal aneurysm (defined by some authors as complex anatomy) was not associated with an increased incidence of events in either the device- or medically treated groups, although there was heterogeneity in this regard. Pabb et al.,2 however, reported that the devices were safe although they are associated with an increased incidence of procedural complications and an increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation, a risk factor itself for the development of thrombus in the LAA and increased potential for embolic stroke (Table 2).

How might Pabb et al. approach this meta-analysis of three recently published clinical trials, each of which failed to show a significant benefit of transcatheter PFO closure over medical therapy? In the last sentence of the Discussion, the authors suggest that the finding 'has the potential to affect clinical practice' and 'these results might be the best evidence of significant benefit from TC PFO closure'. In the subsequent Conclusions section, the authors approach the conclusions with more delicacy and less certainty, using the phrases 'TC PFO closure showed a possible benefit in reducing the incidence of recurrent neurological events' or 'may be beneficial'. Such delicacy/hesitancy in the conclusions appears entirely appropriate given the negative conclusions of each study. Given the significant limitations of a meta-analysis in general, and the specific limitations of combining clinical trials using different devices and, importantly, very different medical management approaches in both the closure and medical arms, one should be extremely hesitant to utilize such data to change clinical practice. Instead, such data may be used as hypothesis-generating, and the conclusions support the call from other authors for more additional, definitive, adequately powered studies.6
What could be said in conclusion about these two trials?1,2
Not all PFO closure devices are equal; some are more equal than others.
Patients still fear stroke more than perhaps any other medical disorders.
A mechanical fix to a mechanical structural problem makes attractive and intuitive sense to both patients and physicians alike, irrespective of the results of randomized trials.
In this field, trials are very difficult to perform, recruitment is slow, our ability to predict patients at increased risk of events is limited, event rates are low, and investigator and patient biases are very strong.
In the relative absence of hard facts and in the presence of controversial data, we will continue to have varied interpretations and strongly held opinions, but, perhaps more importantly, we will continue to have communities of true believers.
Conflict of interest: none declared.

And the hockey world is about to find out how all the hype, the legend that has grown up around the longtime baseball union leader translates to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman's world.
From the outside, that would appear to come down to the simple question of whether Fehr can keep his constituents on point once the second lockout in eight years begins at 11:59 p.m. Saturday.
But that's only part of it.
With the two sides edging fractionally toward a deal with a pair of counterproposals Wednesday, the days leading up to what would be the start of the 2012-13 season in early October will test Fehr's skills, not just as a hard negotiator but as one who is savvy enough to understand the landscape and see two, three, eight months down the road.
It's a landscape that is particularly foreboding.
As we keep saying, never mind the right and wrong of whether or how far the players should move off their current 57 percent of hockey-related revenues. Never mind that it's distasteful and hypocritical for owners to have signed players to long-term contracts this offseason knowing (or assuming or, at the very least, hoping) they wouldn't have to pay those contracts in full.

What's new
We have released the latest Fiscal sustainability analytical paper today, which looks at some of the detailed considerations we take into account in our long-term projections on health spending.
As indicated in our statement following the EU referendum, we are publishing some of the analysis that would have featured in our 2016 Fiscal sustainability report, where the conclusions were less sensitive to assumptions that might be affected by the referendum result.
The Treasury Select Committee has approved the appointment of Sir Charles Bean, former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England and currently Professor of Economics at the London School of Economics, to join the OBR's Budget Responsibility Committee.
The Chancellor nominated Sir Charles for the post in August 2016. The Committee approved the appointment on 13 September 2016, following a hearing before MPs.
Sir Charles will formally join the OBR at the beginning of 2017, replacing Sir Stephen Nickell. This means that Sir Stephen will still be in post for the Autumn Statement forecast later this year, with Sir Charles taking over in time for next year's Budget forecast.
The three members of the Budget Responsibility Committee have executive responsibility for the core functions of the OBR, including the judgements reached in its forecasts. The other current members are Robert Chote and Graham Parker.
Sir Charles spent fourteen years as a member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, including six as Deputy Governor for Monetary Policy. He has published extensively on economic issues, most recently his independent review of UK economic statistics. After reading economics and mathematics at Cambridge, he began his career as an economic assistant in the Treasury's short-term forecast division in 1975. He joined the LSE in 1982 and then moved to the Bank of England as Chief Economist in 2000. At various times he has served as an adviser to the Treasury and to Parliamentary committees, including the Treasury Committee.
The Treasury press release announcing the nomination can be found here.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has nominated Sir Charles Bean, LSE professor and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, to join the OBR's Budget Responsibility Committee. If the nomination is approved by the Treasury Select Committee, he would formally join the OBR at the beginning of 2017 (hence after the Autumn Statement), replacing Sir Stephen Nickell.
Following the cancellation of our 2016 Fiscal sustainability report we have published three Fiscal sustainability analytical papers today. They cover: the public sector balance sheet; the longer-term effects of student loan policy announcements over the past year; and how changes in mortality rate assumptions in the latest population projections would affect state pensions spending.
These analyses do not contain any judgements about short- or medium-term implications of the referendum result, which we will consider as we prepare our next forecast in the autumn.
In summary:
Public sector balance sheet
This paper assesses the National Accounts and 2014-15 Whole of Government Accounts measures of the UK's public sector balance sheet. In the National Accounts, the reclassification of Housing Associations into the public sector has pushed public sector net debt (PSND) noticeably higher as a share of GDP. In the WGA, a lower discount rate has pushed up the measured net public service pension liability and the value of student loans assets, while helping to reduce the 'RAB charge'. But this does not signal a meaningful change in long-term fiscal sustainability. The lower discount rate is also pushing up the provision for nuclear decommissioning, although here there is also a genuine further increase in expected costs.
Student loans
This paper updates the long-term projections for the addition to public sector net debt from student loans published in our 2015 FSR. It shows that student loans are now expected to add 10.4 per cent of GDP to net debt in 50 years' time, up 2.8 per cent of GDP since last year. The increase largely reflects a series of policy changes announced by the Government in recent fiscal events, including the conversion of maintenance grants to loans for students from lower-income households and replacing bursaries with loans for nurses and others studying certain health-related courses.
Population projections and pensions spending
This paper describes the latest ONS population projections and their implications for the State Pension age (SPA) and pensions spending. Counter-intuitively, the fall in life expectancy in the latest projections increases spending over the 50-year projection horizon, because our estimate of the impact of the Government's decision to link the State Pension Age to life expectancy increases spending (by slowing the pace of SPA rises) by more than the increase in mortality directly reduces it. But over the very long term the slower pace of SPA increases only offsets a third of the direct effect.
Since the publication of our March 2016 Economic and fiscal outlook (EFO) we have received a request to publish further detail of our universal credit caseload forecasts. We have published this new supplementary forecast information on the main EFO page of our website.
Monthly commentary on the public finances – afternoon
Public finances data for June 2016 will be published by the ONS and HM Treasury tomorrow, 21 July 2016, at 9:30am. Our regular monthly commentary will be published by early afternoon. It is worth noting that most of the period covered by these data preceded the EU referendum.
Supplementary release – 11am
Since the publication of our March 2016 Economic and fiscal outlook (EFO) we have received a request to publish further detail of our universal credit caseload forecasts. We will publish this new supplementary forecast information tomorrow on the main EFO page of our website.
Fiscal sustainability analytical papers – 2pm
As indicated in our statement following the EU referendum, we plan to publish some of the analysis that would have featured in our 2016 Fiscal sustainability report, where the conclusions were less sensitive to assumptions that might be affected by the referendum result. We will publish three Fiscal sustainability analytical papers tomorrow at 2pm. They will cover: the public sector balance sheet; the longer-term effects of student loan policy announcements over the past year; and how the latest population projections would affect state pensions spending.
Our Annual report and accounts detail our budget and finances for for 2015-16, audited by the National Audit Office. It also sets out our achievements, details of our staffing structure, operations and our most recent budget settlement, which reflects the recommendations of the 2015 HM Treasury Review of the OBR.
In light of the vote to leave the European Union in last week's referendum – and given the remit set out for us by Parliament in primary and secondary legislation – we have set out the OBR's role in assessing the potential implications for the economy and public finances. In summary, we stand ready to produce our next medium term forecast in the autumn as requested by the Chancellor and we have cancelled the planned July 2016 publication of our long-term projections based on the March 2016 forecast.
Download the full press notice here:
Despite a weaker outlook for the economy and tax revenues, the Chancellor has announced a net tax cut and new spending commitments. But he remains on course for a £10 billion surplus in 2019-20, by rescheduling capital investment, promising other cuts in public services spending and shifting a one-off boost to corporation tax receipts into that year.
Robert Chote distils the key messages from our latest Economic and fiscal outlook – in his press conference presentation and accompanying speaking note.

American Tropicby Thomas Sanchez
Thomas Sanchez's American Tropic is a heart-racing ecological thriller that showcases today's headline issues. Sanchez's first Key West novel, Mile Zero, was hailed by The Washington Post Book World as a "holy terror of a book of immense power and passion," acclaimed by The New York Times Book Review as "dazzling," and lauded by Vanity Fair as "mythmaking and magisterial." Now, Sanchez returns again to America's famous southernmost continental point, Key West.This exotic island city in the Florida Keys is being terrorized by horrific murders committed by a mysterious voodoo assassin. With each new kill, it becomes clear that the skeleton-clad executioner has an ecological agenda. The novel propels us through a complex maze populated by rapacious developers, ruthless scammers, and common folk engaged in heroic acts to save their community.The characters, from the defenders of America's only continental reef to the destroyers of marine life, are all swept up in this torrent of horrors. Everyone dreads being the killer's next victim as the clock counts down to the end of hurricane season and the final dramatic explosion of fear and rage. With canny perception and striking revelations, American Tropic illuminates a world of dark desires, hidden truths, and colliding destinies.From the Hardcover edition.
Day of the Beesby Thomas Sanchez
In this story of an astonishing love, Thomas Sanchez portrays the violence, hope, and grandeur of lives transformed by war and exile. At the heart of the novel are Zermano, a world-famous Spanish painter, and his beautiful French muse, Louise Collard -- whose lives are torn apart by the German invasion of France in World War II. Leaving Louise in Vichy-controlled Provence, Zermano returns to occupied Paris. But while he eventually goes on to celebrity and fortune, Louise disappears into obscurity.Fifty years later, after Louise's death, an American scholar arrives in the south of France seeking the truth about the lovers' tempestuous romance and sudden separation. Why did the painter abandon the young beauty? What was the cause of her lifelong reclusiveness? What dark mysteries were being concealed by the ill-fated couple? By chance, the professor finds a cache of correspondence -- Zermano's letters to Louise in her remote mountain village, and her intentionally unmailed letters to him in Paris. In their vivid, wrenching contents he uncovers secrets that Louise kept even from Zermano about her wartime experience: the dangers of her participation in the Resistance, and her complicity with one of its leaders, the Fly; her struggles to elude a sadistic officer who hunts her for political and personal reasons; her lyrical intimacy with a mystical beekeeper. Louise is forced to make a fateful decision between the love for her man, and the ultimate sacrifice for her country.In a powerful climax, the scholar is compelled to journey to Mallorca, where Zermano is rumored to be living in self-imposed exile. Determined to reveal Louise's fate to the painter, our narrator does not suspect that he, too, will be forced to confront the enigma of his own desire.From the Hardcover edition.
King Bongoby Thomas Sanchez
Havana, New Year's Eve 1957, a terrorist bomb rips through the Tropicana nightclub. King Bongo, a rogue Cuban-American, tortured by a mysterious past and possessed of a mythic musical talent, goes on the hunt for the culprits, and for his sister, Cuba's most exotic showgirl, who disappeared in the explosion. Navigating Havana's maze of Colonial backstreets, red-light districts, swank country clubs, and opulent casinos, Bongo encounters an outrageous cast of characters--American hit men, decadent movie stars, prophetic shoeshine boys, and a beautiful American socialite. At the center of the mystery is a sinister secret police operative with whom Bongo is destined to have a lethal showdown.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Mile Zeroby Thomas Sanchez
"Mile zero" marks the location of Key West -- the island that defines the end of the American road, the cultural junction where Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Afro worlds collide. On this island, with its cruel legacy of slave trade and Latin revolution, and its turbulent present of marijuana millionaires, threadbare illegal immigrants, and hard-luck treasure hunters, lives St. Cloud, an American expatriated in his own country, a fugitive from the unresolved anguish of his generation. Chronicling St. Cloud's dangerous reawakening, Mile Zero illuminates the inward and outward tumult of our time in a huge, startling, and profoundly felt novel.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Rabbit Bossby Thomas Sanchez
The legendary, epic novel tells the story of four generations of the Washo in Nevada and Eastern California--a story of dreams, dying, the loss of power, death and apotheosis.
Zoot-Suit Murdersby Thomas Sanchez
Like his lavishly praised novels Rabbit Boss and Mile Zero, Thomas Sanchez's Zoot-Suit Murders combines a tautly arched narrative with fiercely visual prose and a starkly revisionist view of the American melting pot.

CHICAGO – It's 3am on Saturday night/Sunday morning on August 20th, and you're just not ready to quit. How about indulging in the 2016 "Abbie Hoffman Died for Our Sins" Theater Festival? The three-day theater marathon is in its 28th edition, and will be sponsored for the final time by the Mary-Arrchie Theatre Company, and hosted by the "Godfather of Storefront Theater," Rich Cotovsky. It all takes place at the Den Theatre, 1333 N. Milwaukee in Chicago (details below).
TV News: NBC to Premiere Second Season of 'The Voice' After Super Bowl XLVI
CHICAGO – Release schedules keep rolling in lately with the Television Critics Association press tour heating up, now giving us a date to circle for the hottest new show of last season. NBC's hit reality singing series "The Voice" is set to start season two on one of the most watched nights of television, Super Bowl Sunday.
NBC, who will have the exclusive rights to Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, 2012, will try to get a little extra viewership to their very popular singing competition by premiering all the new contestants right after the biggest football game of the year. "The Voice" will then return the very next night in its regularly scheduled slot of 8 p.m. eastern time on Mondays.
The move by NBC is nothing new to reality television, first seen by CBS premiering "Survivor: The Australian Outback" as the lead-out program of Super Bowl XXXV on January 28, 2001, a premiere that reached 45.3 million viewers.
Following "The Voice" at 10 p.m. eastern this coming February is NBC's new musical/drama "Smash." The series, which is produced by Steven Spielberg, will evolve around the cast of a musical and the joys and struggles of making a hit on Broadway. In the age of "Glee," "Smash" appears to be the first major network show looking to compete for the cash for scripted musical television.
There are also plans in the works for "The Voice" coach and Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine to produce a half hour comedy for NBC centering on karaoke.
In other news, NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt announced that Sean Hayes of "Will & Grace" fame and Greg Daniels, executive producer of "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation," have both made development deals with the network. Hayes, who has had a successful career as both actor and producer, will be working with the network in front of the camera while Daniels will be behind the scenes, producing live-action, animated, and reality shows.

|Saturday, September 24, 2016 : Legion, Raiding & Heroic Emerald Nightmare!
Been a while since we (and especially me) have posted here, so here's the most up to date news for Aftermath.
At the end of WoD, we decided that going into Legion we'd have a more casual approach to raiding. This is largely because after 10+ years of raiding, most of the senior members of the guild have become a lot closer to being actual seniors (hyperbolic joke for effect).
We've cut our raid days back to 2 days per week, with a focus on Heroic raiding, rather than Mythic.
That all said, raids started this week. Night 1 we ripped through Emerald Nightmare on normal fairly well, with no more than 2-3 wipes per boss. Night 2 we went in and killed Xavius on attempt 3. We then moved into Heroic, and the real fun began. Cobwebs take time to shake out, but by the end of the night we got Nythendrea, the first boss, down.
Here's the kill shot. Hopefully we'll have more of them to post this coming week.

Reviews for Saath
The work being done by Saath is truly amazing. I had previously been a volunteer two years ago and have continued as a donor. I have just visited some of the new programs at Saath during a trip to India in November 2012 including the Women's Development Center, Yuva Mast, other livelihood programs, and affordable housing. Saath has a comprehensive approach to integrated development, and covers everything from healthcare to education to livelihood training and microfinance. By visiting the programs, you can see the integrated nature of the programs helping with slum development. Many of the staff have changed since my previous visit in 2010, yet the essence has remained the same. I feel very well respected and at home here with the Saath family. I am very proud to be involved with Saath now as a donor and plan to continue in the future.

I have a microfinance charity and SAATH is our exclusive partner this year because they are very grass roots and enable the recipients to really leverage a wholistic model. The management and the team are exceptional and they really care about the development of the people in the slums and alleviation of poverty.

I'm guessing that your Thanksgiving menus are locked down. I'm a bit of a planner so for me it's mostly set, though I do have some wiggle room on cocktails and side dishes. This is a crowd please and for the most part, it'll probably use up some leftover cranberries you have in the fridge. It's a simple thing to throw together as guests arrive. I say put them to work and get one person on drinks. If you'd really like to, you could make this a big batch by scaling up the ratios. I'd recommend leave the ice could and just pour it over ice as people begin to trickle in.

OX 566/TIQ Eyewear
As a customer of Edel-Optics, you are totally aware that eyewear can crown your style. This accessory makes you look very smart when you are out and about and convincing in the office and in your leisure time. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of OX 566in our 2015, and 2016 Oxydo range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Havana is a particularly warm, "spotted" shade of brown and can be found in almost every collection. The colour dates back to the origin of eyewear, when frames were made of turtle shells. Havana makes your face appear softer and can be ideally combined with autumn and spring colours.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
Even if this Oxydo is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.
