|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
The mission of the University of Miami encompasses two primary goals: empowering the discoveries that enhance civilization and preparing our students for success in their careers and in life. Accomplishing both requires faculty and administrators who are experts in their fields and passionate about sharing their knowledge and networks with students. Attracting internationally renowned teacher-scholars is a core tenet of our strategic mission. A brilliant faculty corps draws exceptional students, and the cumulative impact of the two has made the University one of the fastest-rising research universities in the nation. Our steadfast pursuit of excellence begins at the top, with University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. In the 2013 edition of the U.S.News annual Best Colleges issue, the University of Miami ranked number 44. For the fourth year in a row, UM has ranked in the top 50 and continues to be the highest ranked school in Florida. The University of Miami is a living, breathing example of the exponential power of great people doing ground-breaking work. What they accomplish at the University flows through global circuits to spark human progress on the grand scale. With nine undergraduate schools and colleges offering a broad range of pre-professional, professional, and liberal arts undergraduate programs, students have the freedom to cross disciplines and carve an educational path unique to their aptitudes and interests. And because of our geographical location, the University of Miami offers what most places cannot: a mosaic of cultures and traditions amid a beautiful subtropical environment. Classes are structured with an emphasis on the individual, enabling the student to build personal relationships with his or her professors and mentors. They ensure that hands-on research, leadership, and outreach opportunities are available to the student the moment he or she sets foot on campus. Our experiential approach nurtures curiosity and exploration of the world outside the classroom while also bringing the world to the University of Miami campus. The value of a University of Miami education is the ability to become part of this vast and renewable resource, gaining knowledge, inspiration, camaraderie, and connections that will prove invaluable for years to come.

Two decades after the Great Flood of 1993, scars can still be seen in the landscape along the Mississippi River.
In some places, such as the metro-east village of Valmeyer, empty foundations and farm fields stand where businesses and residential homes once did. But across the Mississippi River in Missouri, hundreds of millions of dollars of development have been added in places such as the Chesterfield Valley, where two new shopping malls are set to open.
Mike Petersen, spokesman for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, said the levees in the St. Louis metropolitan area were rebuilt to the standards they were before the 1993 flood. And in some places, they were built to higher standards.
"The levees in the urban areas are meant to withstand a 500-year flood," Petersen said. "We're as prepared as we can be. But no levee is ever completely flood-proof."
Petersen said in some places people have been lulled into a false sense of security because of the fact that the levees held for the last two decades. Even in 1995 when the fourth-worst flood in history at St. Louis occurred at a level of 41.89 feet, and earlier this year when the sixth-worst flood, 40.52 feet, happened, water stayed on the right side of levees.
"Although the 1993 flood was the worst we have ever experienced, it's not the worst possible," Petersen said. "It was roughly a 350-year flood. So the expectation is that a greater flood could come."
Corps of Engineers civil engineer Gerald Allen said the 1993 flood, which topped out at 49.58 feet at St. Louis, came within less than a foot from over-topping flood walls in East St. Louis. If it was only a little bit deeper, water would have gushed into areas of that city, Collinsville, Granite City and everyplace west of the bluffs on the Illinois side of the river. More than 100,000 people would have been affected on both sides of the Mississippi.
Brenda Johnson said she and her husband, Brian, helped their neighbors in Valmeyer desperately move their belongings when the levee system became compromised 20 years ago. She said they lived just outside the Federal Emergency Management Area buyout area. While her friends moved to new Valmeyer on top of the bluffs, she and a handful of her neighbors were left down below in the path of a potential future flood. She saw too much to take the river for granted.
"My son spent his 16th birthday driving the town dump truck to load sand for the many volunteers," Johnson said. "My daughter and I baked and cooked for a lot of the volunteers at the firehouse. Yet we still lost the town to the mighty power of the river.
"My mother and one sister lived in our driveway in a camper trailer," Johnson said. "My other sister and brother-in-law moved in with his parents. My husband's 94-year-old grandmother had to be relocated. I packed up so many houses during that time, I lost count.
"Yes, it was a devastating time, but, the good news is that my husband retired two years ago from Valmeyer. He will tell you that the flood was the most challenging time," Johnson said. "Yes, we were lucky that we didn't lose our home. (But) we gained a new respect for the Mississippi, and for the faith in people."
In the metro-east, the Southwestern Illinois Flood Prevention District was formed by Madison, Monroe and St. Clair counties to oversee improvement of the region's levees. The district is funded by a quarter-cent sales tax that took effect in 2009 in Madison, St. Clair and Monroe counties and generates about $11 million a year.
In New Athens along the Kaskaskia River, the levees didn't pass inspection and have lost their Corps of Engineers certification. Local officials there say they don't have the money to make needed improvements.
And, even if they did, it doesn't guarantee that the levees won't fail.
"Anything below 40 feet I don't worry about," Corps of Engineers civil engineer Dennis Gilmore said. "But a big part of the problem is that levees are made out of earth and they can only stand so much water and so much pressure."
The levees failed in 1993 not just because the water was deep but also because it stayed around for so long, Gilmore said.
Mark Alvey, chief of geotechnical engineering for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in St. Louis, explained how flood protection fails.
"When levees get saturated by through-seepage, the saturated soils can soften, lose strength, and make the levee unstable and more vulnerable to landslides," Alvey said. "If a levee slides and that slide is not addressed with flood fight efforts, it could progress the center of the levee and reduce the height of the flood protection."
Also, according to Alvey, saturated levees become a problem because they get too wet to drive onto the structure the equipment needed to repair and save it.
But Alvey said newer flood protection is more reliable than the levees they replaced.
"Modern levees, those designed and built after the 1950s, take this through-seepage and saturation into account," Alvey said. "These levees perform better than older levees that aren't as well designed and built."
Then there is the issue of the water just getting too high to stop.
According to the Corps of Engineers, at 44.1 feet the Chouteau Island pump station begins to flood and the Harrisonville and Columbia levees will be over-topped, exposing 50,000 people to flooding. At 48 feet, the Prairie DuPont levee is over-topped exposing 37,360 acres to flooding. At 49 feet, the Hartford public water supply is threatened and at 54 feet the East St. Louis and Fish Lake levees are over-topped exposing 71,000 acres.
Allen said one of the main improvements to levees was to try to take the pressure off in the event of major flooding.
"There were a lot of lessons learned and a lot has changed," Allen said. "There has been a lot of rehabilitation of relief wells done along the entire system. A lot of buildup of seepage berms because of sand boils. There are quite a few of those along the stretch of Chain of Rocks canal. We redid all the closure structures on the East St. Louis levee wall, painted it and put numbers on the monoliths so we can reference them. We've done everything we could to be ready. But you're never prepared for everything."
Johnson said she will never forget the lessons on 1993.
"Trust is something that is earned, right?" Johnson asked. "So far, the levees are holding, but of course the river hasn't been as high as it was in 1993.
"The levees were rebuilt, and they are supposed to be stronger than ever' Johnson said. "They probably are. However, in 1993, our course of history was changed forever. Do I think it could happen again? Maybe not in my lifetime, but, yes, I anticipate it happening again. That is the history of the river, isn't it?"

Air travel today is stressful — there's no way to avoid that fact.
In order to handle the stress, here are some pointers to help you.
Travelers must have flexibility, have a sense of humor and most of all have patience. A courteous travel is well prepared. Pre-print your boarding pass if you can, have your ID card ready, be aware of your carry on and where you are going to put it (Can you lift it? Is it really the size of a carry on?) When going thru the security line, think about your outfit for travel and what you may have to take off: belts, jewelry, shoes, socks, laptops and other items.
In the plane is where civility and common courtesy take over.
Aisle seat passengers: try to keep elbow or feet from protruding into the aisle. Be aware that people may ask you to get up several times during the flight. Don't make them feel bad for having to use the restroom.
Window seat: the window is in your control. This passenger should really think ahead about using the restroom before sitting down and what papers or personal items they may want from overhead bins.
Middle and aisle seats should be aware that other can and will look at their laptop screens. The eyes will wander. The airplane is an open office — be cautious.
Basic common courtesy: Don't kick the seat in front of you.
Be aware of using your hand on the seat in front of you.
Have a family conversation with your children before leaving your home; talk about what is expected, what they will see and about their behavior.
Asking to switch seats: If the seat you want to switch to is within view, you should ask nicely: Would you mind.... or Excuse me, may I please switch with you because... Most fellow passengers are accommodating but if they say no, accept it with a smile.
When talking to or asking the flight attendant for something, be kind, not demanding.
To chat or not: Beware of the chatter. Ear plugs is a perfect way to say, I am not interested in having a conversation. Or say something such as, "I am going to use this time to read or sleep."
The biggest pet peeves on the plane today is people who have their pets with them at the seat or passengers who bring food to their seat that has a strong odor.
As a fellow passenger, there is nothing you can do. So if you must eat on the plane, think about your food choice.
Disembarking: Take your time, be considerate of people getting their overhead luggage down, the elderly, the children. Try to take your trash with you.
You have landed. Enjoy your vacation!

I must agree with Roy Williams ("Point: Revise outmoded liquor laws") that discussions about such hot-button topics as expanding the sale of wine and beer into grocery stores are healthy to a free-market economy and should always be welcomed. Now let me tell you a little secret: I am originally from another state where the grocery stores not only had fully stocked liquor aisles and full-point beer in the cooler (OMG! Blasphemy!), but you could buy it 24 hours a day and on Sunday as well.
Here's the thing: In my home state, we had plenty of liquor stores. There was no shortage. So the notion that having grocery stores sell wine and beer will put the liquor stores out of business is simply absurd.
Would Bill Bishop ("Counterpoint: Paying the price") like a little cheese with his whine? I have visited many states in our great nation and seen many different ways of doing things, but what I see in Oklahoma is people acting like everything outside the borders of this state is a foreign country and if we do something differently we're going to lose our identity.
Wake up, people! There's a reason our schools are at the bottom of the national pile. There's a reason our roads are the worst in the nation, and there's a reason we're still debating something as completely laughable as whether to sell wine and beer in grocery stores.
Oklahomans are too caught up in trying to keep things the way they are, so they keep electing public officials who don't plan on changing anything. It's time to grow up and stop letting a few people control everything we do. Let's become a truly great state like so many others have done and grow up.
—R. Cass

By Bill Kirk
The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LAWRENCE — The owner of a beauty salon, as well as residents of 8 residential apartments in the same building, should thank an American pitbull named Jojo for alerting them of a fire in the salon this morning.
At around 8 a.m. Jojo kept going to the window of a first-floor apartment at 107 Union St., barking.
"He was flipping out and going crazy," said Tanya Gerard, 28, who lives in an adjacent apartment in the same building as the beauty salon, located at 101 Union St.
"He kept running to the window," she said. Gerard's mother finally looked outside to see what the dog was barking at and saw smoke coming from the front door of the Hair Distintion Beauty Center and Barber Shop.
"She shouted, 'The building's on fire!'" Gerard said.
Gerard grabbed her sweater and a fire extinguisher and ran next door to the salon. She went inside and started spraying the flames. She kept getting driven out by the smoke, and had to run in and out of the small salon three or four times, she said, with the help of a passerby.
Firefighters took over as soon as they arrived and got the fire out quickly.
They pulled out a bench that appeared to be badly burned. Gerard said the fire started because of a space heater.
Lawrence Fire Inspector Paul Maccarone said the sprinklers also went off, helping to quickly knock down the fire.
Dep. Chief John Marsh is also investigating.
The fire appeared to cause minor damage to the interior of the salon.
More on this story in tomorrow's editions of The Eagle-Tribune.

One of the things Tom Golisano and Steve Pigeon harp about when talking about the need to reform state government is transparency.
In fact, one of Responsible New York's eight objectives listed in its mission statement is True Government Transparency.
So it is no little irony that Pigeon has been something less than transparent in the way he has reported the financial activities of two political action committees he controls.
In fact, Pigon's PACs have been downright deceptive, if we are to believe the Erie County County Board of Elections, which has been investigating the financial doings of Citizens for Fiscal Integrity and People for Accountable Government.
Two things jump out in a story by my colleague, Matt Spina.
First, Pigeon's two PACs have filed only 11 of 43 required financial disclosure reports dating back to 2005. And half of those were filed late.
Pigeon claims the PACs were not required to make some of the filings because the committees were not active in some election periods. The state election law is clear: you are required to file a report for all periods. The only time you're allowed to not do so is when you file a statement saying the committee was inactive for the period in question. Pigeon's PACs made so such filings.
Add to this the fact that the state Board of Elections obtained six judgments against the Pigeon PACs for failure to comply, and has taken other enforcement actions, as well.
Sorry, Steve, but when it comes to the meaning of the election law, I'll take the Board of Elections word for it, not yours.
The Board of Election's second major finding may be even more troublesome, that the PACs failed to initially disclose $45,750 in contributions and more than $53,000 in expenses, including contributions to other candidates.
The Board of Elections determined this by subpoenaing the committee's bank records and comparing it against what the PACs had filed in their financial disclosure reports. The two election commissioners put it this way:
"The information we have so far indicates there have been multiple violations of the election law," said Dennis E. Ward, Erie County's Democratic elections commissioner. "The most serious involve significant amounts of money going in and coming out of the committees that have not been reported. That indicates false reports were filed."
"The committees are used as vehicles in which money is laundered and given to candidates in greater amounts than what they're legally entitled to receive," said Ralph M. Mohr, the Republican commissioner for Erie County.
Folks, this is serious stuff.
It would be regardless whose PACS they were.
That the committees are controlled by Tom Golisano's right-hand man makes these findings a big deal.
That Pigeon has his eye on one of the top staff jobs in the state Senate, perhaps chief legal counsel for the Republicans if they manage to regain control, makes these findings a big deal.
That Pigeon is constantly trolling the local political waters trying to influence who gets elected to conduct the people's business makes these findings a big deal.
It's not as though Pigeon has a pristine track record.
Tony Masiello decried the "thug mentality" he said had permeated the Erie County Democratic Party by the end of Pigeon's tenure as chairman. Then there's the shenanigans last fall in the campaign against Sam Hoyt.
Pigeon's response to the Board of Elections findings is typical. He claims he is following the law and attacks those who find fault with his actions.
Sorry, Steve, but you've got some 'splainin' to do, as Ricky used to tell Lucy.

|A "bight" can be defined as both a bend or curve in any geographical feature or a large bay. Both define the region of our study. This Google Earth image shows the arching coastline and the large embayment of the Southern California Bight.
Climate Change in the Southern California Bight
Climate change impacts will affect both the ocean and coastal ecosystem, as well as coastal communities. The implications of these changes are even more complex in a marine setting that borders a densely populated major urban area, such as the greater Los Angeles basin.
In 2010, USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences funded a three-year collaborative project entitled Climate Change in the Southern California Bight, directed by Dr. David Hutchins and Dr. Douglas Capone (USC Biological Sciences, Marine Environmental Biology program). The three main goals of this project are to:
- Undertake a series of workshops to identify data needs and develop a web-based clearinghouse for relevant but currently disparate environmental information which bears on changes in the Southern California coastal ocean,
- Develop and apply tools to integrate, synthesize and visualize information as vehicles for the effective transmission of this data, information and knowledge to scientists, businesses, policy-makers and the general public,
- Foster the development of integrated, interdisciplinary environmental research and education programs that focus specifically on the environmental challenges and the creation of effective environmental solutions to climate change in the urban coastal ocean.
Human Dimensions and Ocean Health in a Changing Climate
On March 12, 2013, we held a policy colloquium to focus on ocean health and human dimensions in a changing climate. The goals of the colloquium were to provide a forum to foster understanding of the interplay among climate change, ocean health and human dimensions; understanding how social vulnerability can be mitigated through effective adaptation; and how communities can build resilience to climate change.

Please use the buttons below to see more information on Leeds Carnegie and matches between Exiles and Carnegie over the years.
London Irish
Leeds Carnegie
Fixture Type: Aviva Premiership
Match Date: Sat 02 Oct 2010
Kick Off: 15:00
Venue: Madejski Stadium
Assistant Referee: Andrew Pearce
Referee: Greg Garner
Assistant Referee: Nigel Carrick
Nick Meakin
The Samoan flyer was on the scoresheet with a try with his very first touch as the Exiles retained top spot in the Aviva Premiership with a convincing 40-24 win.
Before Tagicakibau's introduction, Irish had been made to work hard for a 19-10 lead but three second half tries in 18 minutes put an emphatic end to Leeds' challenge.
Much was made pre-match about the battle between the two packs and Irish was able to test the visitors' scrum in the very first minute after Ryan Lamb's kick off had gone straight into touch.
After a couple of resets referee Greg Garner, officiating for the first time at Madejski Stadium, penalised the Leeds scrum, one of five penalties he would award against Carnegie in the opening 15 minutes.
During that time, Lamb had two opportunities to give his side the lead but had to wait until the 17th minute to put his team on the board.
Despite their heavy penalty count, Leeds dominated the territory and their pressure paid off when fly half Ceiron Thomas dinked through a gap and managed to stretch his arm over the line for the opening try of the match.
Thomas then converted his own try to edge Leeds ahead 7-3.
An injury to Carnegie number 8 Danny Paul in the build up to the try then held up the match for a number of minutes but despite having time to regroup the Exiles struggled to gain a firm footing in the match.
The hosts needed a spark and one eventually came in the all action form of Paul Hodgson who spotted a gap and sprinted upfield before being enveloped by the Leeds defence.
But his forage had given the Exiles some momentum and for the first time in the afternoon they managed to play the brand of rugby that has propelled them to the top of the league this season.
Despite some very dogged defence the pressure told and Lamb reduced the deficit to a single point with a penalty directly in front of the post.
Leeds indiscipline was again evident five minutes later when flanker Hendre Fourie was sinbinned for diving on the ball and with a one man advantage Irish was able to raise its game.
Phase after phase crashed into the Leeds defensive wall, but it was one of the smallest men on the pitch, Irish hooker James Buckland, who found the line with a burrowing drive 15 metres to the right of the posts.
Lamb added the extras and needed to be at his most accurate to slot a tricky touchline penalty in the final minute of the half to give Irish a solid 16-7 lead at half-time.
The only thing Carnegie led going into break was the penalty count, a remarkable 12-2, and if they were to claw their way back into the contest then their discipline would have to improve.
Ironically it was Irish who was penalised first in the new half and Thomas did the rest with a kick that reduced the Irish lead to six points.
Irish hit straight back, and with the crowd momentarily distracted by a raft of Exiles substitutions, the excellent George Stowers made sure everyone's attention returned to the match with an exhilarating break from half way.
He popped up to the ever athletic Nick Kennedy in support, who used his long legs to good effect and charged towards the line.
It looked set to be a carbon copy of his try against Harlequins last season but the scrambled Leeds defence managed to bring him down 10 metres out.
However, the platform was set and a few phases later Irish had their second try with substitute Tagicakibau powering over.
Fellow countryman Stowers then added a third with a pick and drive that ended with the ball touching the base of the post. Lamb again added the extras.
Fourie grabbed a try with 12 minutes left before Tagicakibau once more showed his unbelievable power to earn his side a valuable four try bonus point.
Leeds centre Luther Burrell added another late consolation to reduce the Exiles' lead to 40-24 before referee Garner bought the action to a close.

"Really Fresh, Very Strange"
This is a very compelling story and I think I'm going to have to listen to it again because there's more to be gotten out of it. Although not set in the future, it reminded me in terms of cross-cultural speculative fiction, of Bachigalupi's Wind Up Girl.
The writing is excellent and the non-linear storyline, which can sometimes be a little hard to cope with in audiobook form, works fluidly and well. The characters are well fleshed out, especially the main character who is flawed and juicy.
There is a lot of very graphic violence in the novel, and it is painstakingly and viscerally described, so if you have a problem with that, you might want to steer clear of it, but I felt it was right for the story, and served it well.
The performance is good, although I found that the male voices, with southern accents, got a tiny bit muddled. But not enough to spoil the experience of the book.
"Not Again!"
It's not that this was a terrible story, it just wasn't a very good one and certainly not a particularly fresh or well-told one.
I can see that other people loved it, but I felt it dragged, pace-wise. And if I read another horror story where the conflict centers around a couple where the husband keeps flatly denying there is anything supernatural going on, for 5 hours, I'm going to scream.
That particular plot device has worn very thin with me.
"Hard to find fault with this reading"
You need to have some patience to listen to this novella. The language is exquisite, the sense of place and time and mood are engrossing. If you listen to audiobooks for plot and excitement, this is not the book for you.
But as a novel that explores character, relationships, the extreme subjectivity of human perception and how time acts upon those things, then this may be one of the most eloquent examinations of those things ever written.
Although I did not give Kidman's narration a full five stars, there is nothing wrong with it. However, two things bothered me. Her pace of reading is quite fast, and this is a problem when the point of view changes from one character to another within a scene. I'm assuming there are scene breaks in the original text version which make clear whose point of view is being used, but in audio form, a slightly slower read, with more pauses between scenes would have been helpful. Secondly, I found her Aussie accent slightly jarring for this particular novel. I think it might have suited a more neutral English or American accent better - just because I have a better capacity for overlooking those accents. It's an entirely culturally subjective view, but then narrators affect us at that level.
"Good plot, interestingly told"
I enjoyed the story. It's got a very twisty plot with a bit of an homage to one of literature's greatest horror novels (I won't say which, because that will give away the story). The setting is well described, eerie and tension-filled. It's a tale narrated through a number of different character's POVs and documents, which makes the pacing slightly odd, but helps to keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing.
The one part of the story I thought was a big of a let-down was the rather superficial, convenient characterizations. There are some really intriguing characters in the story and I thought they could have been better fleshed out. I got the feeling they were left tenuous in order to allow the plot more flexibility. When I can see that in a story, it bothers me a little.
Nonetheless, as a thriller/murder mystery, it makes for good listening.
"Intriguing but a little slow"
This is a very interior novel. It has some lovely literary elements to it and I did enjoy it. The atmosphere is seductive and gripping, and the character is nicely developed.
However, I found the narration hard to cope with. The Scottish brogue is thick and unremitting and, to my ears, somewhat artificial. Reynolds does Irish and Northern English accents very well, but his Scottish burr leaves something to be desired.
I suggest you listen to the audio sample provided to see if it works for you.
"The Devil's In the Details"
I thoroughly enjoyed this retelling and restructuring of Hamlet. I began listening with moderate expectations, knowing the play well and expecting it would just be a fleshing out of the original, but it was so much more than that.
The authors have done a wonderfully creative job of approaching the tale from a fresh, very lateral perspective. Lesser events and characters in the play are brought to the fore, and a wonderful layer of Machiavellian political intrigue suffuses the story. The same is true of the play's original paranormal elements. The authors have developed it into a lush political and psychological thriller.
I didn't give the story five stars only because I found the villain of the piece (I won't tell you who it is because that would be a huge spoiler) a little underdeveloped and cardboardish. That being said, this was more than a retelling of the play. If you like historical mysteries or alternate histories, you'll love this. It's rich and atmospheric and wonderful.
The narration was outstanding.
"Badly Constructed Narrative"
I do owe Foster a thanks for introducing me to the world of 'preppers', and giving me something to chew over when it comes to why there are so many people looking forward to the apocalypse. However, as a novel, this is poorly constructed.
As with many fetishists, Foster makes the common mistake of believing his readers will share his obsession with preparing for the looming apocalypse. Consequently, he offers no insight for the mainstream reader into the hows or whys of people who have caught the 'prepping' bug. There's no context to the characters. In fact, there is very little effort to examine any of the characters' motivations. The plot flits around, clumsily interrupted with recipes, hints on prepping, and long digressions on different types of ammunition. The whole novel is dripping with a curious sort of schadenfreude towards the non-prepping majority, and there is no sense that the author was even aware of this.
Consequently, I was relieved when it was over.
"The Financial Times' Critique Doesn't Detract"
It is a deep shame that the Financial Times' critique of Piketty's data is going to put some people off from buying and listening to this book, because a few quibbles about a very small amount of the data (on the UK only) doesn't detract from the validity of this detailed piece of analysis. It won't matter that many other well-respected economists defend Piketty's use of the data, or the robustness of his argument. For the readers of the FT, for those who represent the top 10% of weathholders, or those who aspire to be one of them, this book is a fundamental threat to their plans.
It's a long book, and it takes some concentration to listen to. Looking at the linked PDFs help to bring the stats and numbers to life. But I found it incredibly worthwhile. The central argument - that R>G (capital always trumps growth) is successfully and persuasively argued six ways from Sunday. And that is something not even Piketty's most vehement detractors can argue against.
Nor did I find Piketty's conclusions and suggestions even close to being the 'radical marxist' ones that he's been accused of holding by the press. He's conscious of the fundamental value of entrepreneurship, of a vibrant market.
When all is said and done, this book will polarize its readers along ideological lines. Because ultimately he's asking the question: what do we want our society to look like? He argues very persuasively that many of the ways we have sought to establish fairness and meritocracy in society have been ineffective in the long run.
This book threatens those who continue to perpetuate the myth that there are even playing fields: that financial success is based on merit, that opportunity is available to everyone, that trickle-down economics works, that education is the great leveler. There are good reasons why certain groups find this book threatening. It erodes the very thin veneer that the free market is truly free.
But it is also a very optimistic book. Piketty offers some very 'unradical' solutions for how to mitigate the problem of rapidly accelerating wealth concentration. It's not a 'downer' at all.
The narration is good for such a long and complex book. Well chosen to be easy on the ears but still engage the concentration. I found it well worth the credit and the time I spent on it.
"Great Premise, Badly Written"
I loved the premise of this novel: serial killers, psychic investigators, forensics. As a fan of detective fiction, murder mysteries and a bit of the paranormal, I was so looking forward to reading this, especially since it was the first in a series. I really wanted to like it.
I found Walker's writing very hard to stomach. He head-hops in mid-scene (switches from the POV of one character to another), which is disorienting enough in text form and almost vertiginous in audiobook form.
There are incredibly long passages of diegetic (telling) narrative in which we are told rather than shown the story. I'm not opposed to 'telling' and enjoy stories with a certain amount of interior dialogue and reflection to add an emotional dimension to the story, but this goes on and on, making the story feel sluggish, claustrophobic and boring.
I was also not terribly crazy about Ted Brooks' narration. He's fine when he's not trying to do women's voices. But when he does, they sound so much like a man trying to sound like a women, it becomes comedic and distracting.
"Perhaps I've Read One Too Many of These"
Perhaps I've read one too many of these zombie apocalypse books and have just hit the wall on them, but overall, I found this book frustrating and annoying.
I found the main character very hard to engage with from the beginning. I can see that Wright was trying to write a very 'everyman,' unremarkable character for his main protagonist in the first part of the book, but Nick Adams is SO unremarkable, I sort of kept hoping he'd get bitten and die off fast.
Also, both he and the main character in the second part of the book keep seeming extraordinarily stupid and doing extraordinarily stupid things just to build artificial tension. All of this seems a bit of a shame since the one good thing about post-apocalyptic zombie novels is that the tension is really built in. You can write really smart, capable characters and still have tension galore.
I found the story, on the whole, unoriginal and dreadfully formulaic. The sub-characters were stock and 2 dimensional.
Patterson's narration is fine, but not outstanding. Sometimes a really good narrator can rescue a mediocre story and Patterson didn't succeed in doing it.

BY MICHAEL WALTON firstname.lastname@example.com
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Chazz McCall refers to North Twin Lake and the wilderness surrounding it as "pristine" and "God's country."
He's owned land on the Long Lake Township body of water for more than 25 years and he treasures the area. For years, McCall planned to give his property to Grand Traverse County after his death, but he revoked that offer during a county commission meeting last month.
"Twenty years ago I said, 'When I die, I'm going to leave this land to the county,'" McCall said. "I informed them at the meeting that will no longer be on the table because of their lack of stewardship."
McCall said he's witnessed growing problems in recent years — chief among them illegal hunting and alcohol and drug consumption — at the county-owned park that wraps around the north and east edges of North Twin Lake, across the water from where McCall lives.
"Somebody likes Busch and somebody likes Coors Light," McCall said while pointing to discarded beer cans near a makeshift bonfire pit at the county park this month.
Violations of posted rules outlining park hours and vehicle prohibitions also concern McCall, as do violations of state fishing regulations. But his biggest concerns remain the hunting, which McCall said occurs in areas of the park crisscrossed with hiking trails, along with the partying.
"Young people, alcohol and water don't mix," he said.
McCall said he's repeatedly brought his concerns to county officials in recent years but nothing has changed.
Grand Traverse County Commissioner Christine Maxbauer has talked with McCall about the park several times since he spoke before the commission last month. She said the misuse of Twin Lakes Park needs to stop.
Maxbauer, a member of the county's Parks and Recreation Commission, said Parks and Recreation Director Jason Jones needs to address McCall's concerns.
"This is just unacceptable," she said.
Constructing a gate at the park entrance and closing it after hours would help, Maxbauer said. So would fencing off the back area of the property and hiring a part-time county park ranger to patrol the park in the summer.
Maxbauer also contacted the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Department about the park.
Undersheriff Nate Alger said deputies are stopping by the park more frequently now, but their ability to deal with issues there is limited. They can't easily patrol the park's expansive back woods, for example. Constructing gates, fences and additional signage might help but won't solve all the park's problems, Alger said.
"Somebody who does not respect signs and hours, it will not deter that problem," Alger said.
Jones said larger signs about rules, including the prohibition on alcohol, have gone up at the park recently. But, like Alger, he said there is only so much signs and gates can do.
"We're doing what we can, but we have to rely on our citizens to responsibly use our parks," he said. "These are issues at nearly every park in Michigan."
McCall and Jones met this week at McCall's lakefront home to talk about the park.
Jones called McCall "a good watchdog" for the park, but he disagreed with his opinion on the county's lack of stewardship.
"Chazz has every right to his opinion, but I don't share that opinion," he said. "We are doing the best we can to steward all of our parks."
McCall this week stood by his decision to not leave his property to the county when he dies. But he hopes some good comes from his efforts to notify officials about what's going on at Twin Lakes Park.
"I try to always be positive and I hope that we can honor this place, and the people who come here and the people who left it for us," McCall said.

Special event planned for historic Cluster Springs Home
- Last Updated on 06:45 AM 06/21/13
- BY Special to the Gazette
The staff and youth of Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Homes have been working hard in preparation for the upcoming special event "Re-opening the Door to Sunnyview at Cluster Springs."
Since the home has been closed for close to a year due to water damage in an enclosed fire escape, the cob webs, dust and weeds have taken over the historic 19th century home.
For the youth, this is a challenge that they gladly embrace.
"This a beautiful house," said Patrick Henry youth Erica Spear. "I wish it was for the girls, not just the boys."
The Advisory Board of Patrick Henry Boys and Girls Homes worked hard on the event's plans and are hopeful that enough monies will be raised from the event to repair the damage in order for the Patrick Henry boys to return as soon as possible.
"Due to the incredible generosity of area businesses, we will have an incredible silent auction that evening," said advisory board member Beth Ferguson. "Silent auction items include a week's stay at a wonderful beach house in Duck, N.C.; several opportunities for overnight stays at area bed and breakfast establishments as well as area hotels; a Halifax County fair package; a hot air balloon ride; cabin stays at Staunton River State Park and Occoneechee State Park; a Ruger rifle; dinner for four at The Molasses Grill and much, much more."
The benefit is scheduled for Thursday, June 27, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Cluster Springs home located at 7005 Huell Matthews Highway in Alton. Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be served, and the choir of Patrick Henry will deliver special music during the evening.

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Oklahoma managed to end the regular season on a positive note Sunday. Kolbey Carpenter went 2 for 4 and drove in three runs to help power the Sooners to a 7-3 victory over Kansas State at Tointon Stadium.
OU (25-19, 13-11 Big 12) will open Big 12 tournament against fifth-seeded Baylor (27-25, 12-11) at 9 a.m. Wednesday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City.
The Sooners slugged their way out of a three-game losing streak and Carpenter was the catalyst. He clubbed a two-run double in the second inning and clubbed a solo home run — Carpenter's second of the season — in the fourth inning to give OU a 4-1 lead.
OU only had seven hits Sunday, but they were timely.
Anthony Hermelyn, Hector Lorenzana, Matt Oberste and Colt Bickerstaff all drove in runs.
Jake Fisher (2-2) picked up the win. The left-hander gave up nine hits, but just two runs over seven innings. The Wildcats, who secured the Big 12 regular-season title with Friday's 6-5 victory over the Sooners, had 14 hits on the afternoon.
However, OU turned two double plays and the Wildcats stranded 13 base runners.
Jake Dollar (2-3) took the loss. He only gave up one hit over 11⁄3 innings.
The field and game times for the Big 12 tournament is now set.
The top-seeded Wildcats will face eighth-seeded Texas Tech (25-28, 9-15) at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday. Those four teams will play a double-elimination tournament with the winner advancing to Sunday's championship.

RALEIGH — When Duke Energy and Progress Energy proposed their merger in 2011, neighboring utilities had long been circling North Carolina, intent on cherry-picking one or both of the states power companies.
The Duke-Progress merger, finalized in December 2012, not only created the nations largest electric utility, but also saved two homegrown companies from an out-of-state takeover.
Thats the narrowly-averted scenario Duke lawyer Dwight Allen presented Wednesday to the N.C. Court of Appeals, which heard arguments in Raleigh on the merits of the $32 billion deal.
Allen said North Carolina residents are much better off with the power company remaining in-state and urged the appeals court not to second-guess the pros and cons of the merger 11 months after it was approved.
This thing has been going on a long time, Allen told the jurists. Uncertainty is a terrible thing for employees, for shareholders and for ratepayers.
Two opponents are challenging the validity of the merger in appellate court; both had opposed the utility deal before the N.C. Utilities Commission, which assented to Charlotte-based Duke buying Raleigh-based Progress.
One opponent, the City of Orangeburg, wants the merger to allow for more favorable terms on which the South Carolina municipality can buy wholesale power from Duke when its current contract expires.
NC WARN, a Durham advocacy group, alleges the merger short-shifted low-income residents. The group has suggested that, as a condition of the merger, Duke contribute $270 million over 10 years to low-income housing weatherization programs.
You have to look at all the costs to the ratepayers and citizens of North Carolina, NC WARNs lawyer, John Runkle, told the judges. You cant just look at the benefits to the utilities and their shareholders.
NC WARN has lodged a second merger challenge before the N.C. Appeals Court, but that case has not been scheduled for oral arguments.
The pair of challengers are the only two remaining holdouts of 37 organizations that got involved in the merger proceedings and negotiated promises from the companies in exchange for their support.
The appeals court is expected to rule in the coming months on the case argued Wednesday.
During the 90-minute proceeding, the trio of jurists expressed occasional but muted skepticism at NC WARNs arguments.
Youre asking us to reverse the commission and impose a $270 million remedy, but do we have that authority? asked Judge J. Douglas McCullough. What youre arguing about is just over a number.
Allen said the Utilities Commission approved the merger with a number of conditions to protect the public, including stipulations for Duke to make contributions to charities, workforce development and other programs.
Duke has touted a number of public benefits, including a guaranteed savings of $650 million on fuel costs over 6 1/2 years. Duke also agreed not to charge customers several hundred million dollars in severance payments to the 1,860 Progress and Duke employees who took buyouts or got laid off.

MOORE — The sirens went off in Moore around 2:30 p.m., Pat Murphy, general manager of Warren Theatre remembered.
"We got everybody out of the theaters and put them into the hallways," Murphy said.
Theater records indicated 200 tickets had been sold that afternoon. Murphy said everybody was "well aware" that the tornado was headed toward the theater, but the staff also was aware that the building is strong.
"It's built like a bunker," he said. "I felt safe because of this building."
When the tornado roared past, Murphy could hear it.
"I stood at an angle where I could see out the front doors, out the glass," he said. "It was a brown out."
When the winds had subsided, he took stock — everyone who had taken shelter in the theater was safe and the structure was standing.
"First glance, we still had glass," he said. "The windows didn't blow out."
Outside, he noticed the absence of buildings — the bowling alley and the hospital were devastated.
"There was tons of debris," he said. "We had signs that had ripped out, but for the most part we knew that our building was all right."
Several cars damaged at the theater but next door at Moore Medical Center, cars were demolished.
IMAX Manager Alex Ansai arrived shortly after the tornado hit.
"I had seen the storm pass from a distance and I had been talking with Pat so I had a pretty good idea that it was bad," he said.
Murphy and Ansai allowed access to theater for triage and lent whatever assistance they could.
"It's pretty unbelievable to look at the progress six months later," Murphy said of recovery efforts. After the tornado, he thought it would take years to rebuild the amount of damage.
"I'm impressed," he said.
Ansai is an Oklahoman and knows the damage tornadoes can do, but he was stunned by the amount of destruction.

Here's some they made earlier
2:00pm Tuesday 3rd September 2013 in News
RUBBISH collected from around Oxford was transformed into homemade musical instruments at the Pitt Rivers Museum's big summer event.
A recycled junk orchestra was set up as part of the Need Make Use day held outside the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in Parks Road on Saturday.
Music by Oxford's group Sol Samba, The Junk Orchestra, and various arts and crafts stalls were among the activities from 11am until 5pm.
Sarah Oates, from Church Cowley Road, and her four-year-old daughter Maisy Knight were among the 160 people who attended the free event.
Maisy said: "I liked the museum, I made musical instruments and I liked the noise. It made horn noises.
"And I had my face painted as a cat."
Maisy made a trumpet out of plastic bottles, and piping.
Director of The Junk Orchestra, Saul Eisenberg, said: "The instruments were made using rubbish collected mainly from Oxford like bottle tops from pubs, carpet tubing from shops and electrical wiring which was used as straps for the drums.
"Kids love it because they see all the possibilities opening up to them – they realise they can go home, build more and make more noise.
"The whole day went really well."
The Pitt Rivers Museum message was about how people have to use the things they have to make the things they need.
Items from the museum collection were also on show.

DURHAM — The Durham Jordan wrestling team was hoping its second-round playoff match Tuesday against New Bern would be more similar to this year's regular-season match than last year's playoff encounter.
The Falcons defeated New Bern just a few weeks ago, but lost a hard-fought match to the Bears in last year's second round.
Unfortunately for the Falcons, they fell short in their bid to avenge last season's loss to the Bears, losing 43-27 Tuesday.
Jordan nearly forced a final match, but New Bern's Max Stout held on for a narrow 8-6 win in the 152-pound class to put the Bears ahead 37-27. Jordan forfeited the final match.
The Falcons, who defeated Panther Creek 39-27 in the opening round, finished their season 24-7, but it was a hard way to end against a team they had beaten 45-19 just a few weeks ago.
"It was a great atmosphere tonight, the guys were in a position to get to Thursday night and that's what you hope for," said Jordan coach Philip Davanzo. "We had seniors lose matches tonight they won against the same opponents two weeks ago. You just can't get pinned."
Jordan earned several pins as well in building a 27-19 lead after nine matches. Erick Rivas (220 pounds), heavyweight Courtland Parker, Spencer Service (120) and Robbie Tomasic (126) pinned their foes. Tomasic was the lone Falcon to notch pinfalls in both rounds, including against the Catamounts.
The tide turned though once the match went to the middle weights, as New Bern (27-7) went on a run. John Sherman (132) won 6-0, then Pa Sanneh (138) and Eric Milks (145) won by pinfall to put the Bears, who had edged last season's 4A Eastern champs Pinecrest 31-28 in the first round, ahead for good.
"This was huge tonight, as a team we did exactly what we needed to do," said New Bern coach Bo Lansche. "The good thing for us was that our lineup is really strong in the middle."
Lansche also was proud of wrestler Deandre Jones, who had lost three previous matches to Jordan's Tyrece Jones, but came through with a 4-3 quadruple-overtime victory against the No. 4 wrestler in the state at 182 pounds.
Both opening-round matches were close. Jordan and Panther Creek were knotted 18-18 before Service and Tomasic prevailed.
Seniors Allal Kartaoui (138) and Micah Marcin (145) notched pins in 4 minutes, 31 seconds and 5:14 respectively to close out the Catamounts.
Maliik Marcin won one of the closest matches of the night, edging Catamount Brandon Morgan 9-7 in overtime in the 160-pound class.
