NPR's All Thing's Considered
Mexico's Tech Startups Look To Overcome Barriers To Growth
In the past decade, Mexico's tech industry has flourished, growing three times faster than the global average. Most of that growth has been fueled by demand from the United States. But as Mexico's startups strive to make it in foreign markets, they say they need more engineers and ways to finance their growth.Kanye's 'Yeezus' Packs A Bite
After months of speculation, West's latest album reveals itself as a trim, 10-song, 40-minute effort that's heavy on electronic and industrial influences. It's also another piece of the puzzle to one of pop music's most compelling — and frustrating — figures.Dirty Spuds? Alleged Potato Cartel Accused Of Price Fixing
A civil lawsuit that shifted into U.S. district court in Idaho last week alleges that the United Potato Growers of America has become a veritable OPEC of spuds. The group is accused of using high-tech, strong-arm tactics to inflate potato prices.The Human Voice May Not Spark Pleasure In Children With Autism
Scientists and parents have long been baffled by the fact that children with autism often don't pay attention to human voices. Researchers say that may be because speech doesn't activate a reward system in the brain for those children the way it does for typical children.How Do You Teach The Civil Rights Movement?
As part of NPR's series marking 50 years since the summer of 1963 — a formative time in American politics and culture — we turn to Jackson, Miss. There the story of a summer youth workshop meant to bring the Civil Rights Movement out of the past and into the 21st Century unfolds.Teens Find The Right Tools For Their Social-Media Jobs
There was a time — a time long, long ago — when MySpace dominated the teen social-media world. Not anymore. NPR's Sami Yenigun looks at how teenagers use various social platforms in today's increasingly segmented online universe.Some Colorado Wildfire Evacuees Briefly Allowed Back Into Homes
The Black Forest Fire near Colorado Springs, Colo., has pushed about 4,500 evacuees out of their homes. Police are escorting some of them back in to pick up critical medications or rescue pets.San Antonio Spurs One Game From Winning Fifth NBA Title
Every time you think you got a handle on this year's NBA Finals, you realize, you have no idea what's going to happen next. Case in point: Before last night's game five against the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was slumping and supposedly washed up. Instead he put on a vintage performance and led the Spurs to a ten-point victory over the defending champs.Google's 'Internet Balloons' Could Expand Online Access
Google's "Project Loon" just launched in New Zealand — it uses balloons floating in the stratosphere to bring high-speed Internet access to remote areas.Calif. Wonders About Energy Future After Nuclear Plant Closes
Summer is almost here — and in California that means it's the season to worry about rolling blackouts. There's even more cause for concern this year. The San Onofre nuclear power plant is shutting down for good. It's been off-line for more than a year after a pipe was found leaking radioactive steam. When fully operational, San Onofre produced power for more than a million homes.Forums

It's so good to hear from you. Glad to hear you're ok, and it's nice that you're getting to spend time with your grandkids. That's good news about your book, lets hope it will soon be doing well out there in the marketplace. Yes, I'm still plodding along and Study in Red is doing ok I think. I'm working on a sequel right now, should be out next year sometime.
I have my wrist in a splint kust now so can't type a lot, so forgive this short reply.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards
Brian
