Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness
Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: The Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness: "I have suffered depression for years. I have been to five 'shrinks', been placed on three different medications (not at the same time, of course) to treat the depression and all to no effect. I have read other books on depression but this one is the only one that is actually making a noticeable and positive change in my life. Simply put, the approach works."

Some Approaches to the Question of Chewing Gum Litter
Some Approaches to the Question of Chewing Gum Litter: "Gum can be found everywhere, but a more attentive examination reveals that it reaches maximum density in the vicinity of the most frequented bars: the chewer who is headed there is forced to spit out to free his mouth. As a result, the stranger, not familiar with the city, could find these places following the direction of the more thickly massed gum blobs, in the same way as sharks find their wounded prey by swimming in the direction of increasing concentrations of blood…"

Google contributor and Mac pioneer talks with CNET (Q&A) | Digital Media - CNET News: "'The ubiquitous connectivity profoundly influences how we use our computers. We're 10 years down the road--we're just in the middle of the transition. Essentially, the hegemony of the PC is over. Now the center of every user's world will be in a network repository projected into many different devices. How those ecologies interact and work out, that's the story of the next 5, 10 years.'"

Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features - Al Jazeera English
Fukushima: It's much worse than you think - Features - Al Jazeera English: "'We have 20 nuclear cores exposed, the fuel pools have several cores each, that is 20 times the potential to be released than Chernobyl,' said Gundersen. 'The data I'm seeing shows that we are finding hot spots further away than we had from Chernobyl, and the amount of radiation in many of them was the amount that caused areas to be declared no-man's-land for Chernobyl. We are seeing square kilometres being found 60 to 70 kilometres away from the reactor. You can't clean all this up. We still have radioactive wild boar in Germany, 30 years after Chernobyl.'"

David Axelrod finds Huntsman’s presidential candidacy ‘slightly bewildering’ - Chicago Sun-Times
David Axelrod finds Huntsman’s presidential candidacy ‘slightly bewildering’ - Chicago Sun-Times: "“Already you see him inching away from some of the positions he’s taken in the past,” Axelrod said. “He was very vociferously a supporter of cap-and-trade to try to deal with the issue of climate change. He has walked away from that. He once raised the issue of a health care mandate. He has walked away from that. He once said the stimulus was too small. He walked away form that. So, after a while, these patterns become a problem for you when you’re running for president because what people look for is consistency.”"

William Gibson | The Paris Review
William Gibson | The Paris Review: "Finding time to work is the main problem … You write a decent book, and you’re hired as a creative-writing teacher. The next thing you know, you’re director of the program, which basically means you get less time in class and more administration, which nobody likes, so that you can hardly write anything anymore."
