I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread where people can share their thoughts on good French books to read. It would be great if people could recommend books here and say what they thought about them - both in content and how hard it was to read the language.
I'm hoping to go to university next year to continue studying French and to start Russian from scratch so I'm at A-level standard, but this thread is for anyone!
Books I have read so far/am reading:
Un Sac de Billes - Joseph Joffo. Read this as part of my A level studies and it was really good read, plus it's a true story (about a Jewish boy during WWII in France) so I think that made it more interesting. However a few people were a bit disappointed with it as there wasn't a huge amount that happened! The language wasn't too hard, although it did get a bit sticky in some places!
Agates et Calots – Joseph Joffo. The prequel to Un Sac de Billes (but written after). Not a lot happened in this book to be honest, particularly as the main character is only about 7, however it was quite sweet. The language is probably about the same as USDB, if not a little easier.
Kiffe Kiffe Demain – Faïza Guène. This book annoyed me a bit as there wasn't much of a plot and it is probably aimed at 13/14 year old girls. However the language wasn't too difficult and it had some interesting slang in it.
Et si c'était vrai… - Marc Levy. I'm about a quarter of the way through this and so far so good. The film 'just like heaven' was based on this book, but I'm hoping there will be more plot twists than the film! The language is harder than those mentioned above, particularly with medical terms near the beginning, but it does get easier the further you get in and the story is quite easy to follow.
Please share your experiences as I'm sure lots of people will appreciate them!
Reading French books for fun!

La Silence de la Mer - Jean Bruller
Content: It was quite depressing. It really makes you think. If you are interested in books about war, politics and history, you'd probably enjoy this. It's not set in the battlefield, but it's still a good read.
Language: It's good practise for an A2 student. The text isn't too hard to get through, it's relatively short so you can complete it during one sitting.
Bonjour Tristesse - Sagan
Content: I didn't like it. I thought the book was uneventful, partially because I felt like I couldn't connect with the main character. She was just incredibly spoilt and selfish.
Language: It's not too challenging, but you can still pick up new vocab while reading.
I've also read Harry Potter in French for fun. I was a bit unimpressed that they renamed Snape to 'Rogue' though

"Et si c'était vrai" turned out to be a bit rubbish in the end, so I probably wouldn't recommend it!

La Fontaine It's a collection of fables and they're good for language learning as they're designed to be simplistic.
Also anything by Sagan, she is slowly becoming my favourite author. Favourites are: Bonjour Tristess, Un Sang D'aquelle, Aimex-voud Brahms

Penser / Classer. It's quite a ... different ... book, but is broken up into short chapters, each of which is readable as an independent unit, and is superbly written.

Personally, I was quite surprised by how much I enjoyed reading Molière - his plays actually make quite an easy & fun read once you get a hang of the language make sure you get an annotated version though, some of the more "archaic" expressions are really bizarre.

Of course, it definitely counts! I think it's great to read books that you've already read in English as you know what's going to happen and can grasp it without reaching for a dictionary every few seconds. I guess when you advance more it's better to read "proper" French books, if I can call them that, or just books in French that you don't know anything about as it may test your skills more, but for now I enjoy reading translations of books I've read in English. In fact, what I sometimes do is read a book in English and read the French one soon after so it's clear in my head and it's fairly easy to understand that way.

Err, apart from all of these more academic reccommendations - I tend to read sort of 'trashy' English books that have been translated into French. So, easy reads like Sophie Kinsella for example.
Trust me, when you live in France, the last thing you want to do is sit down to a heavy piece of french literature

Haven't read a book in French for aggges....read Les Choses in December, I think, then a lot of Colette and random books when I was in France for a month in the summer....inc. one called "La Crise de la Jeunesse", which is practically all about what's happening today. It was v. easy to get cheap books since there was a vide-grenier in the nearby village and there's an antique shop with tons of cheap stuff, and all the books in my grandparents' house....but yeah. Recently all I've tried is Zazie in the Metro, which made me giggle in the easy bits and give up in the slangy ones. I'll have another stab at it this weekend.
I read lots of books about France, if that counts.

I have been working my way through Zola's Rougon-Macquart series after loving them in English. He's not the easiest author to read, so it's a feeling of great achievement when I finish one. L'assommoir is my favourite.
My all-time favourite French novel is Madame Bovary, which you really have to read.

I've read the translation of Les Grandes Meaulnes and I personally found it a bit frustrating and dull, so I wasn't motivated to attempt the French. However, I know that a French class in my school have tried it and have found it pretty hard going, but then again they are just post-GCSE standard so it might be better at A level.

I've read part of that in French, after accidentally leaving it in my bag when I came back from French exchange . Some of it's amusingly easy to understand (e.g. >>AAAAAARGH! Harry a crie[/]), but a lot of it is vocab you don't know and it actually really reinforces certain vocab and tenses.

I think it was the French premiere for one of the Harry Potter films I was watching and there was this part that sticks in my mind where a lot of people I'd never seen before came on to the stage, then one of them goes "Harry je déteste les araignées"
I was like whooooo it's French Ron!

Found June 20, 2013 on MLB Injury News:
PLAYERS: Ryan Braun
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs
TEAMS: Milwaukee Brewers, Chicago Cubs
In a huge blow to the fortunes of the Milwaukee Brewers and their chase towards a .500 record and the NL Central title, Ryan Braun's hand injury diagnosis has been confirmed by a second specialist and will more than likely lead to Braun needing more time to recover than originally expected. As discussed here previously at MLB Injury News, Braun's thumb injury has been nagging for quite some time, but has begun to really slow him down the last several weeks, in particular in June, as his .286/.333/.321 slash line for the month attests. Braun also has gone his last 65 at bats without a home run, out of character with his usual slugging ways. The player affectionately known as The Hebrew Hammer has a career 19.1 plate appearance per home run rate, good for a 36 home run per year average. While surgery does not appear to be necessary for Braun's recovery, rest does, prompting the extended time away from the Brewer's lineup and some cryptic responses from both Braun and manager Ron Roenicke: We'll see what happens at the end of this DL, and it sounds like he's [Braun] going to have to swing and see how it feels and see if we can cushion it enough to when he goes out there, we don't go back to where he was when we went on the DL. Eligible to return from the DL this coming Tuesday during the Brewers series with the Chicago Cubs, it appears that the onus is upon Braun and his threshold for pain to sway an extended stay on the DL - possibly up to a month longer than expected - for a right thumb bruise and an inflamed nerve. Braun, while relieved to finally have confirmation of the type of injury and his prospects for returning, did remain apprehensive in discussing many details of the injury or its rehab: It was nothing that we didn't expect. What's kind of nice is we get some clarity, at least. We have a better idea of, confirmation, of what we're dealing with. The 29 year old is currently hitting at a .304/.380/.509 slash line, good for a .376 wOBA, 140 OPS+ and 1.8 fWAR. In spite of the injury sapping him of much of his power, Braun still remains in the top 20 of many National League statistical categories, including wOBA, slugging percentage, and BABIP.

CANTON — A Waddington beekeeper is being accused of defrauding multiple people from New York to Vermont out of thousands of dollars after allegedly failing to provide them with beehives and nucleuses.
State police on Wednesday charged John P. Clarke, 36, of 477 County Route 31A, with felony first-degree scheme to defraud.
On June 14, troopers said, they received a report from Richard G. Schuler, 51, Kirkville, that he gave Mr. Clarke a $740 check on April 12 for the purchase of 12 bee nucleuses and that he never received them. Mr. Schuler said the check was cashed and he never received the nucleuses. On the same day, troopers said, Charles A. Magnant, of Vermont, filed a report that he had mailed Mr. Clarke a $1,200 check for 25 beehives and also never received them. That check also was cashed, troopers said.
On July 31, Kelly P. Mulverhill, 50, of 54 Lovers Lane Road, Malone, reported that he paid an unspecified amount of money for four bee nucleuses and received only two.
He said there are no queen bees or larvae in either of the nucleuses, rendering them useless, troopers said.
A fourth complainant, Raymond D. Gagner, also from Vermont, on Aug. 4 reported he ordered seven beehives in March for $350 and was told the bees would be ready by May.
Mr. Gagner said he never received the hives, the check was cashed and he was unable to reach Mr. Clarke.
All of the complainants said they came into contact with Mr. Clarke through a Craigslist ad.
Troopers said they picked Mr. Clarke up on a warrant issued out of Waddington Town Court. He was located in Plattsburgh.
He was arraigned in Waddington Town Court and was sent to St. Lawrence County jail on $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.

Exposing Agenda 21 with Ex-politician Ann Bressington
"People only lie for 2 reasons, the first reason is because you're ashamed of what you're doing, the second is because you don't want people to be warned just before you screw them."
S.A. ex-politician Ann Bressington is one of the few Australian politicians with integrity and guts enough to voice how politics is used against the public, and to what end. Bressington, who recently quit the game of Australian "polytricks" in disgust at the systemic corruption within her former profession, came into the awareness of alternative media not long ago with a jaw-dropping speech exposing Agenda 21, as she implored the public to take action and say no to the encroaching transnational tyranny insidiously impacting us all.
Ann's incendiary Agenda 21 speech went viral on social media, and opened many minds to the grim realities we now have a chance to transform through awareness and informed choices. Even Pauline Hanson has subsequently spoken out against Agenda 21 with her own YouTube video, so it seems Ann has started a valuable ball rolling—even if she can no longer stand the stench of professional politics, and even if the original video has apparently "mysteriously" disappeared. Other uploads of it have been viewed in the hundreds of thousands.
Join Ann, Brendan Murphy and Aimee Devlin to learn what the "secret government" doesn't want you to know: the Club of Rome; Agenda 21; so-called "sustainable development"; manufactured threats of "global warming" and other "crises" to unite the public in a call for global governance by an unelected transnational oligarchy; the plan for massive global depopulation at the bidding of the "Elite."

The Hand Unyielding0 Reviews
Majora's Mask: Kafei, Link
Warnings: PG
Characters: mild Kafei/Link, Kafei/Anju
Theme: lyrics - "loneliness comes crashing in"
Loneliness comes crashing in around twelve o'clock, when the hands of the clock were intertwined, close as lovers and he is not. He is thinking of eternity in the bottom of amber glasses, and all the things size denies him. He is missing the bar and the babe - or something like it. He figures a man who can't love a woman marries the bottle, and trapped in this tormented circle of time winding back, there is nothing more compelling than an endless world of spinning (but the man behind the counter wouldn't give him that either).
Regret is a heady wine and a ready ink, so he writes letters about Something (now that time has cut him short of Everything) which he knows he'll never send, but it makes him feel better to think there is a woman out there who'd care to hear it. They still have false faces to trade, but the one he wears is no longer the one he wants her to see, so he thinks it's best if they become Nothing at the turn of the last light.
And then there is the boy (the boy, the boy, the boy who's not), and he puts a face to the words and mouth beneath the mask, and once again he is stripped - this time of Nothing, the solitude and ease of waiting for the time-ender. They make quite a pair, a fancy set of masks playing the part of Real Boys, but Kafei finds there is some condolence in the secrets that make up everything under the skin - a mask is nothing if there is nothing to hide, and between two boys who saw the world and came back, there is much to know, and somehow that makes Everything better.
After the fact, when the world is moving again, he'll decide that seven years is quite a long time; longer than three days, at the least, and maybe that it's something to have known a boy too much time too late and known him better than the rest -
- something good at least.

"My husband Tommy and I met as members of the Sun Devil Band at Arizona State University and have shared our love of music throughout the years," says Barbara Hill of Bisbee, Arizona. "Tommy sings in the Bisbee Community Chorus and I am 'music assistant,' or page turner, for the accompanist. I also like to cook favorite dishes for potlucks with the chorus."
"We will be celebrating our 55th anniversary in September. Maybe one of the secrets of being married 54 years is my love of cooking and Tommy's love of eating. I enjoy the time I spend preparing the food and then the satisfaction of seeing the enjoyment it brings. And also knowing that what I have prepared is wholesome and nourishing."
"Gradually over the years Southwest cooking became more and more our favorite type of food. I came upon the idea for an apple pie with green chiles after reading a newspaper article featuring green chiles and outside-the-box uses for them. My husband loves it and loves to brag about it. When I tell people about it for the first time a lot of them say, 'That doesn't sound good.' But after they have tried it they go, 'Ah….that is good.'"
Below find Barbara's recipes for Arizona Apple Pie and another of her Southwestern favorites, homemade Chili Verde.
Tired of the same old chili? Try Barbara's recipe for your next big get-together.
In a 6-8-quart pan combine the pork with the water and 1 TB. vegetable oil. Cover and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is very juicy, 15-20 minutes. Uncover, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is evaporated and the meat is browned, 20-30 minutes. Remove the meat and set aside.
(For a quicker method, simply heat the tablespoon of oil without the water and brown the pork, then proceed as below.)
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the second tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add the onion, MINCED GARLIC and GROUND CUMIN; stir and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 8 minutes.
Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pan. Add the canned tomatoes and the chicken broth. Break up the tomatoes with a spoon. Stir together and pour into a 5-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or in a covered pan on the stovetop over low heat for 3 hours.
Add the canned green chiles and MEXICAN OREGANO and continue cooking until the chiles are heated through, about 1-2 hours. If cooking on the stovetop, uncover if necessary to cook down the broth and thicken it to desired consistency. Add salt to taste. Serve topped with fresh chopped cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges.

Although the ingredients are a little unusual, you'll be surprised at how well they all work together to make an outstanding pie.
Prepare pastry for two crust pie, divided, using 9-inch pie pan (see below).
Preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl combine all of the filling ingredients; mix lightly. Spoon into the pan lined with half of the pastry. Top with the remaining pastry. Trim the edges and fold the edge of the top pastry under the bottom pastry. Press together to seal. Flute the edge. Cut slits in several places in the top pastry. Sprinkle lightly with sugar or VANILLA SUGAR. Bake at 425° for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Check after 30 minutes and place foil over the pie edges if they are brown. Serve warm (or cool) with slices of cheddar cheese or ice cream if desired.
To prepare the crust, cut the butter into small pieces; it doesn't have to be cold, but it should not be warm to the point of melting. Add the flour, salt, and sugar to the butter and beat or mix by hand to combine. Add the milk in a thin stream, mixing until thoroughly blended. Divide the dough in two pieces. Pat the pieces into disc shapes and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 20 minutes. Sprinkle a wooden board or counter top with flour, place 1 of the dough discs on the board, and sprinkle the top of the dough with flour. Using short strokes, roll it from the center to the edges until it is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. You will want to turn the dough over and re-dust with flour halfway through. Roll until the crust is about an inch larger than your 9-inch pie pan when inverted. Fold the crust in half and in half again so that it looks like a triangle. Place it in the ungreased pie pan with the point in the center. Unfold the crust and ease it into the pan. Roll the edges of the overhanging crust under so that you have a nice rim around the pie plate. Prick the crust all over with a fork. Repeat with the second disc of dough.

The 1998 New York Yankees were a take-no-prisoners juggernaut, a team not to be trifled with. Perched high above in their pinstriped ivory tower, those Yanks achieved a 125-win season (including playoffs) that culminated in outstanding style – a World Series title.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Vladimir Putin's key argument justifying Crimea's secession from Ukraine and annexation by Russia is the West's acceptance of Kosovo's declaration of statehood in 2008.
Kosovo and Crimea both sought independence against the wishes of their central governments but the two situations have many differences. With the strong support of the United States, the ethnic Albanian-dominated Kosovo seceded from Serbia over Serbia's strong objections. Russia, a historic Slavic ally of the Serbs, at the time argued that the Kosovo declaration was a serious breach of international law that could lead to a series of statehood claims elsewhere in the world.
Enter Crimea, Ukraine's strategic Black Sea peninsula. After Crimean residents voted overwhelmingly Sunday to secede and join Russia, Putin is invoking the precedent of Kosovo to justify the vote while the West insists the ballot is invalid.
Here's a look at Crimea and Kosovo: HOW ARE CRIMEA AND KOSOVO SIMILAR? Both Kosovo and Crimea have a majority who belong to an ethnic minority. Just as Kosovo Albanians feared Serbian repression during the autocratic rule of late Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, Russians living in Crimea feared the Ukrainian nationalists who came to power in Kiev in February.
Both the ethnic Albanians in Kosovo and the ethnic Russians in Crimea voted overwhelmingly in favor of secession, while the Serbian minority in Kosovo and the Ukrainian and Tatar minorities in Crimea mostly boycotted the votes.
There was foreign military intervention in both regions with NATO intervening in Kosovo and pro-Russian troops seizing control of Crimea ahead of the vote. WHAT ARE THEIR MAIN DIFFERENCES? NATO intervened in Kosovo in 1999 only after significant evidence of Serbian abuses against ethnic Albanians, including mass killings and deportations. Pro-Russian forces intervened in Crimea with no major abuses or violence reported against ethnic Russians.
The West didn't annex Kosovo after driving Milosevic's forces out of the former Serbian province, but sent in peacekeepers. Russian troops, meanwhile, took control of Crimea before its referendum was held.
Kosovo declared independence but did not join its ethnic brethren in neighboring Albania in a single state. Crimea, which has a majority Russian population, signed a deal to join Russia two days after its vote.
Kosovo declared independence nine years after Serbia lost effective control over its former province and only after a long diplomatic process when it was virtually an independent state. Crimea voted to secede from Ukraine only weeks after the country's pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, fled to Russia.
WHAT DID THE U.N. COURT SAY ABOUT KOSOVO? In July 2010, U.N.'s highest court ruled that Kosovo's declaration of independence was legal but did not outright endorse Kosovo's claim to statehood. WHAT DID PUTIN SAY?
"Our Western partners created the Kosovo precedent with their own hands," Putin said Tuesday when he signed a treaty to incorporate Crimea into Russia. "In a situation absolutely the same as the one in Crimea, they recognized Kosovo's secession from Serbia as legitimate while arguing that no permission from a country's central authority for a unilateral declaration of independence is necessary."
WHAT DOES THE WEST THINK ABOUT PUTIN'S ARGUMENTS? Western leaders have rejected Putin's arguments, saying Kosovo was a unique case due to the large number of victims during the 1990s Balkan wars amid the violent breakup of Yugoslavia. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has insisted that analogies between the West's actions in Kosovo and Russia's intervention in Crimea are "shameful."
"To make it crystal clear, the situation from that time is in no way comparable to what is happening in Ukraine today," Merkel said. "Russia's actions in Ukraine unequivocally breach basic principles of international law."
HOW ARE PUTIN'S REMARKS VIEWED IN SERBIA? Serbian officials — who still refuse to recognize Kosovo's statehood — thought Putin would never make Kosovo a precedent to justify his annexation of Crimea. But they still believe the Russian president will never recognize Kosovo and will continue to block it from becoming a U.N. member state, despite being recognized by some 110 nations.
"Crimea is yet more proof that things might go out of control when international law is violated," said Borko Stefanovic, a ranking Democratic Party official in Serbia.
AP Balkan correspondent Dusan Stojanovic covered the events in Ukraine and Kosovo.

Olympics 2012 Day 12: what to watch
Another sensational day for GB yesterday – who will make headlines today?
· You can follow all the action with MSN's live blog ...and see a summary of the action on our live timeline.
What you might have missed:
Tim Brabants was unable to defend his Olympic crown in the men's kayak single (K1) 1000m final. The doctor from Nottingham has been battling injury and scraped into the final but lacked the strength as he came in eighth. In the B final of the men's canoe single (C1) Richard Jefferies came seventh.
10:44 Canoe Sprint
In the final of the women's final kayak four (K4) The TeamGB crew of Jess Walker, Rachel Cawthorn, Angela Hannah and Louisa Sawers came in fifth after a tough lane draw.
Fresh from his 10,000m success Mo Farah cruised into the Olympic 5,000m final as he looks to add the Olympic crown to his world and European titles for the event. His team mate Nick McCormick failed in his bid to join him in the final as he just missed out on a fastest loser spot.
Women's hammer
In the women's hammer TeamGB's Sophie Hitchon (pictured right) threw a British record of 71.98m and sits in fifth place after the first group of qualification. 19 women are left to throw and she faces an anxious wait to see if she's done enough to reach the final.
Women's 800m
Lynsey Sharp is perhaps the most controversially selected athlete at the games for GB yet she looked hugely confident in her heat with a second place finish.
Mens Pole Vault
Steve Lewis looked very comfortable as qualified for the final of the men's pole vault. His vault of 5.5m was enough for him to qualify for Friday's final.
Men's Decathalon: Despair for Team GB's Daniel Awde as he has been forced to pull out with injury. He had set a personal best of 10.71 as he won his 100m heat but was obviously struggling with injury throughout the long jump.
Men's 110m hurdles: Andrew Turner, who finished his heat in 4th, just missed out on qualifying for the finals. Europe's only representative in the final, Lawrence Clarke, ran a superb race to finish just outside the medals in 4th.
Women's 1,500m: Lisa Dobriskey had a fantastic race, finishing 4th to take her through to the finals, but Laura Weightman had a less straightforward qualification. It was momentarily in doubt whether she'd make the finals, but her new personal best of 4:02 was enough to qualify her. Hannah England finished her heat 9th, failing to qualify.
Men's 200m: Crowd favourite Christian Malcolm finished an agonsing 3rd in the semi-finals, just missing out on a fastest loser place.
Women's long jump: After needing just one jump to qualify for the finals, Shara Proctor had a disappointing evening, finishing 9th.
Men's javelin: Mervyn Luckwell finished 16th in his heat, throwing 74.09m, not managing to make it through the final.
Nicola Adams is guaranteed at least a silver medal in the women's fly division after she outclased India's Chungneijang Mery Kom Hmangte in the semi-final.
Team GB's captain Thomas Stalker lost an agonisingly close match 22-23 against Mongolia's Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg, which leaves him without a medal.
Nick Skelton, Ben Maher and Scott Brash were unable to repeat their heroics of the team jumping as they narrowly missed out on medals with Scott Brash and Nick Skelton finishing the strongest in tied fifth place.
Shanaze Reade opener her Olympic campaign with a solid fifth place in the seeding run but will need to go improve in time for Friday's semi-finals.
Liam Phillips' 12th place was enough to see him into heat 2 of tomorrow's quarter-finals.
In the women's 470 class Hannah Mills and Sakia Clarke are in joint first place going into the medal race. They started the day with a disappointing 8th place in the ninth race but were able to exploit a slip up from leaders New Zealand as they finished second in the 10th whilst the Kiwis slipped out to 18th. Now all that stands between them and gold is New Zealand and all they need to do is beat them.
In the 49er class, Team GB's crew of Stevie Morris and Ben Rhodes missed out on a medal as they came in fifth.
In a tantilisingly close best-of-five quarter-final with Russia, Team GB's women's elliott 6m team missed out on a place in the semi-finals, being defeated 3-2.
Women's hockey: Team GB had a fantastic run coming into this match against Argentina, but two goals in the first half from the South American side couldn't be clawed back, and the Brits lost 2-1.
Diving: In the women's 10m platform, Monique Gladding and Stacie Powell qualified as reserves for the final in 19th and 20th place.
All these athletes, whoever they are, who have competed for their Country, are a clear demonstration to us all on how to show humility.
There is no swaggering, false, artificial celebrity status.
From an early school age, children in this Country, should be seriously encouraged and facilities provided, to become involved in a sport. Commercial enterprise should be encouraged to back them. Much healthier this than electronic pastimes.
It`s four years to the next games, not too late for the youngsters to be involved.
Britains' Olympians are an inspiration to everyone. They have shown such skill and determination to suceed and even if they don't all win a medal they have competed at the highest level for their country and are just proud to be able to do that.
Congratulations to all the British team for being such good sportsmen and sportswomen. They are all that's good about this country.
I am so handsome and rich and young and I am looking to waste all my fortune on some pathetic, money grabbing bitch. Do you fit the bill? If the answer is yes then do not hesitate to call me on 01-435-734734 55 or just stick your head where the sun don't shine and see if you can see your tonsils. ---up.you- at pathetick money grabbe dot com
Getting a bit boring now. These sad sad interviewers asking the competitors who don't win a medal what went wronge, how are you feeling. How are they feeling? How would you be feeling?
And if they win - this great British crowd were roaring you on, how much did that help you? NOT A BIT YOU PILLOCKS. They won because of all the hard work they put in over the past several years. Unlike you lazy overpaid interviewers who are getting paid too much for askng the same questions over and over again.
How much lottery money has been pumped in during the past 4 years? How much has each medal cost us?
Surely this money would be better going agains the Health of our Nation so that everyone could benefit - not just the gifted few.
Late action from the last day of competition at the Youth Olympic Games

Rien Ne Va Plus - The 2007/2008 Credit Crunch and What Gambling Bankers Had to Do With It
AbstractThe paper argues that the incidence of moral hazard played a significant role in the 2007/2008 credit crunch. In particular, bank traders subjected to asymmetric compensation structures have an incentive to take excessive risks even when the bank's shareholders would prefer prudent investment. Traders' incentives are shown to be unaffected by capital regulations, with the associated financial burden falling upon the taxpayer through deposit insurance or government bail-outs. Selected case studies further indicate that the phenomenon of "gambling traders" was widespread during the credit crunch, when high bonuses tempted bank employees to invest in risky subprime-backed securities. The intransparency of structured products and the inaccuracy of credit ratings contributed to the employees' ability to conceal the underlying risk from the banks' shareholders. The analysis points to an urgent need to reform compensation practices in the financial sector.

There is a lot of buzz around the idea of automating analytics. Companies, weary of investing huge amounts of time and money into a project that yields a one-time boost in sales or profits, are lured by the idea of automated analysis solving problems without teams of specialized experts or high-priced consultants.

|Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE
|The incidence of superficial (skin and subcutaneous tissues) and deep (muscle and/or fascia) incisional surgical site infections (SSI) involving the primary open-laparotomy incision. [ Time Frame: 30 days post-surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Incisional SSI (both superficial and deep) will be diagnosed by a blinded assessor using a modification of the original SSI definition proposed by the the US Centers for Disease Control (Horan, Andrus and Dudeck. 2008. Am. J. Infect. Cont.)
|Original Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE

|Official Title ICMJE
|Phase 3 Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Topical E-101 Solution to Prevent Incisional Infections Among Colorectal Surgery Patients (Triple IN Study-INhibition of INcisional INfections)
|Brief Summary
This study is intended to determine the efficacy of topical application of E-101 Solution directly into the surgical incisional wound in the prevention of infection of superficial and deep surgical incisional wounds. E-101 Solution is an enzyme-based antiseptic that is being developed for direct application to a surgical incision.
|Detailed Description
This standard-of-care pivotal Phase 3 study with a blinded assessor to determine wound healing and incisional infection by standardized criteria is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical application of E-101 Solution directly into surgical wounds for the prevention of superficial and deep incisional surgical site infections (SSI) within 30 days after elective colorectal surgery. E-101 Solution is comprised of glucose oxidase (GO) and porcine myeloperoxidase (p-MPO), as the active ingredients, that produce coupled reactions after the addition of substrate. The hypothesis is that E-101 Solution, topically applied into the surgical incision, significantly reduces the incidence of incisional SSI and is safe compared to saline topical application. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review all cases as an additional oversight to protect the safety of subjects.

LGBTQ* Insight and Advice
10 Tips For Parents Of A Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans* or Queer Child
(from Advocates for Youth)
By Lisa Maurer, MS, CFLE, ACSE, Coordinator, The Center for LGBT Education, Outreach and Services, Ithaca College * Please note: These tips can also be useful for other trusted adults in the GLBT young person's life, explaining how a caring adult can be there for GLBT youth. Engage with your child. Your gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender (GLBT) child requires and deserves the same level of care, respect, information, and support as non-GLBT children. Ask questions, listen, empathize, share and just be there for your child. Go back to school. Get the facts about sexual orientation and gender identity. Learn new language and the correct terminology to communicate effectively about sexual orientation and gender identity. Challenge yourself to learn and to go beyond stereotyped images of GLBT people.
Here's a quick lesson on two frequently misunderstood terms:
Sexual orientation—Describes to whom a person feels attraction: people of the opposite gender, the same gender, or both genders.
Gender identity—A person's inner sense of gender—male, female, some of each, neither. Transgender people have a gender identity that is different from the gender to which they were born or assigned at birth.
Some people ask, "Isn't transgender just like being gay?" No. Transgender describes a person's internal sense of gender identity. Sexual orientation describes a person's feelings of attraction toward other people. Transgender people have some issues in common with gay, lesbian, and bisexual communities, but gender identity is not the same as sexual orientation. Get to know the community. What resources are available? Find out if there is a Gay/Straight Alliance at school, a community group for GLBT and questioning teens, a bookstore with a selection of books and magazines on GLBT issues, or a GLBT community center nearby. Explore the Internet. There is a growing amount of excellent information on the Internet that connects people with support and materials on these important topics. Three excellent Web sites are Youth Resource, Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays, and Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network. For a diverse selection of links to a variety of GLBT sites, including education, family, health and wellness, and multiple identities, visit Ithaca College's Center for LGBT Education, Outreach and Services and click on the "links" button. Find out where your local Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) meets. Many parents say that their connections with other parents of GLBT kids made a world of difference in their progress toward understanding their young people. Finding another person you can trust to share your experience with is invaluable. Many people have gone through similar things and their support, lessons learned, and empathy can be very valuable. Don't make it ALL there is … just because your child has come out as GLBT does not mean the young person's whole world revolves around sexual orientation or gender identity. It will be a big part of who the youth is, especially during the process of figuring it all out, including what it means to be GLBT. Still, being GLBT isn't the sum of life for your child, and it is vital to encourage your child in other aspects of life, such as school, sports, hobbies, friends, and part-time jobs. ASK your child before you "come out" to others on the child's behalf.Friends and family members might have questions or want to know what's up; but it is most important to be respectful of what your child wants. Don't betray your child's trust! Praise your GLBT child for coming to you to discuss this issue. Encourage the youth to continue to keep you "in the know." If your child turns to you to share personal information, you're must be doing something right! You are askable. You're sending out consistent verbal and non-verbal cues that say, "Yes, I'll listen. Please talk to me!" Give yourself some credit—your GLBT child chose to come out to you. Congratulations! Find out what kind of support, services, and education are in place at your child's school. Does the school and/or school district have a non-discrimination policy? Is a there a GLBT/straight support group? Do you know any "out" people, or their friends and loved ones, to whom you can turn for information? (Before doing so, again refer to tip number 7, above. Ask your child if it's okay for you to "come out" about the child.) Educate yourself on local, state and national laws and polices regarding GLBT people. On the national level, GLBT people are still second-class citizens in regard to some national policies and their rights are not guaranteed by law. Consider educating yourself about this and finding out what you can do to work toward extending equal rights to GLBT people in the United States. A good place to start is the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
