Economist is Japan?s exception as a woman
As Yuka Takeda sat down with members of Kazakhstan?s government earlier this year in the capital, Astana, to discuss poverty levels, the Japanese economist noticed a stark contrast with her experience back home.
It was not the difference in culture or the gap in economic development; it was that seven of the eight lawmakers attending the meeting were women. Coming from Japan, where men outnumber women at universities by almost six to one in her discipline, Takeda had almost abandoned the idea of a career in academia when she was studying economics in college.
She wanted to go to grad school, but ?I just couldn?t imagine how I could build a career in the field,? Takeda, 41, said in an interview in Tokyo. She had no female role models in Japan, ?absolutely zero,? she said.
So she began applying for jobs in business while still a student at the University of Tokyo. Then she learned she had won one of the top awards for her thesis, giving her the courage to pursue her dream of post-graduate studies on Russia at the college. It was the first step in a career that led Takeda to the former Soviet states and to write a book on poverty that re-examined economic thinking on the development of wealth gaps, winning her the Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize last year.
The award, named after a former Japanese prime minister, recognizes books on politics, economics, culture and technology that advance the development of the Pacific Basin community.
?Before her, few scholars did statistical analysis on how Russia?s households were financially affected in the transition and suffered poverty,? said Toshio Watanabe, chancellor of Takushoku University in Tokyo and a judge for the prize. ?Her work was quite an achievement. I wish there were more young scholars like her.?
Takeda?s interest in Russia had been sparked as an undergraduate by the memoirs of Anna Larina, wife of revolutionary Nikolai Bukharin, who was executed under former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1938. Larina was separated from her one-year-old son and spent two decades in prison camps and in exile.
?I was deeply touched by her life, which was overwhelmed by circumstances and at the mercy of events that she could not resist,? Takeda said.
As a new era of turmoil overtook Russia in the 1990s, Takeda wondered how Russians were coping with unemployment in the post-Soviet economic meltdown.
?I got hooked on the topic from that simple question,? said Takeda, a research fellow at Waseda University in Tokyo. ?In economics, as in other fields, we?re attracted to the issues of the time we live in.?
When she enrolled at graduate school in 1997, her knowledge of Russian ?was non-existent,? she said. She had chosen French as her foreign language as an undergraduate. To catch up with her classes, she spent a fortnight in the library beginning to teach herself Russian grammar from books.
Poverty analysis is a relatively recent field of study in Russia because Soviet-era propaganda claimed it did not exist. After the Soviet Union?s demise in 1991, the country?s wealth gap expanded rapidly as oligarchs profited from the nation?s natural resources, while many pensioners and unemployed saw their assets vanish with the currency?s collapse.
As the Russian government began to publish more economic statistics, including data on household spending and finances, Takeda?s research intensified. In 2001, she moved to Moscow to better learn the language and deepen her postgraduate studies.

Nothing Has Ever (Or Will Ever) Look as Fun as This Driftable Go-Kart
Razor can be as proud as they want for making scooters cool again, but what the company will really go down in history for is this creation: a go-kart called the Crazy Cart that turns anyone at the wheel into a master drifter.
Rolling on a set of four spinning castors located in the corners, the Crazy Cart is powered by an electric wheel located directly beneath the steering wheel that can turn 360 degrees allowing even amateur to drivers to pull off Ken Block
The bad news is that it will set you back $400, making it one pricey kids' toy. But the good news is that the video clearly shows an adult hooning about in one, which means your morning commute just got about a thousand times more enjoyable. [Razor via Laughing Squid]

Stocks end little changed after Fed minutes
NEW YORK (AP) ? The stock market turned quiet Wednesday and just managed to notch a fifth straight day of gains.
Even the release of minutes from the latest meeting of the Federal Reserve didn't jolt stocks.
Two major U.S. stock indexes were barely changed. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose a fraction of a point to 1,652.62. The Dow Jones industrial average eased 8.68 points, or 0.1 percent, to 15,291.66.
Every move the Fed has made in recent months has been analyzed. Wednesday's minutes from the June policy meeting were no exception.
But the minutes offered no surprises. The report showed many Fed members want to see further job gains before cutting back on the central bank's stimulus measures. It also showed some divisions among officials over when the Fed should slow that stimulus.
"I don't think the minutes offered anything that would change (my) view of the market's direction or the Fed's intentions," said Quincy Krosby, market strategist for Prudential Annuities.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion worth of bonds each month. That has helped keep interest rates at historic lows and spurred borrowing and investing.
The small gain in the S&P 500 Wednesday kept alive its winning streak. The index has now risen five days, its best streak in two months. Investors have become more confident about the economy after the strong June jobs report. The index is up 2.9 percent in July after falling 1.5 percent in June, its first monthly decline since October.
In another sign of confidence, small-company stocks continued their surge. The Russell 2000, which represents 2,000 publicly traded companies with small market valuations, rose 2.4 points, or 0.2 percent, to a record 1,020.42.
The Nasdaq, meanwhile, is at its highest level since October 2000. The Nasdaq gained 16.5 points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,520.76. Despite its rise, the index would still have to rise 43 percent to match its all-time high of 5,048 reached March 10, 2000, the peak of the dot-com bubble.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Bernanke said the economy still needs support from the Fed's low-rate policies. Speaking in Cambridge, Mass., to the National Bureau of Economic Research, Bernanke noted that unemployment remains high and that higher taxes and federal spending cuts are weighing on growth.
It was Bernanke's latest effort to stress to investors that even after the Fed has begun to slow bond purchases, it will continue to stimulate the economy.
Stock index futures rose as Bernanke spoke. The S&P index futures were up eight points, or 0.5 percent, at 1,656 as of 5:40 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Investors are watching earnings results for the second quarter, which ended 10 days ago. Analysts expect earnings growth to average 2.8 percent for companies in the S&P 500, according to data from S&P Capital IQ.
The expected growth isn't spectacular and that makes it more likely that companies could beat analysts' estimates, said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
"We have very low expectations," Wiegand said.
Family Dollar Stores was a case in point. The discount retailer said Wednesday that its quarterly earnings fell 3 percent. But the results topped analysts' estimates, and the stock surged $4.55, or 7.1 percent, to $68.50, making it the biggest gainer in the S&P 500.
Dollar General was the second-biggest gainer in the index, rising $2.98, or 5.75 percent, to $54.78.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.68 percent from 2.64 percent late Tuesday. As recently as early May, the yield was 1.63 percent.
The price of crude oil jumped almost 3 percent to the highest level in 16 months after the U.S. government reported another steep decline in the nation's supplies. Oil rose $2.99 to $105.71 a barrel in New York.
The price of gold rose $1.5, or 0.1 percent, to $1,247.40 an ounce.
Among stocks making big moves:
? Hewlett-Packard rose 46 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $25.93 after a Citigroup analyst raised his rating on the company. The analyst doubled his price target for the stock, saying the PC maker's turnaround efforts are taking hold.
?Fastenal, an industrial and construction supplies distributor, fell $1.33, or 2.8 percent, to $45.77 after the company reported that its second-quarter revenue fell short of analysts' estimates.
