I'm Goneby Jean Echenoz, Mark Polizzotti
View All Available Formats & Editions
The "mesmerizing" (Booklist), Prix Goncourt-winning novel. Hailed as "vivid and entertaining" by the New York Times Book Review, this Goncourt Prize-winning new novel from the writer the Washington Post calls "the distinctive voice of his generation" and "the master magician of the contemporary French novel," was an immediate bestseller in France and, in this new paperback edition, stands to bring French phenomenon Jean Echenoz to a whole new American readership. The deceptively simple tale of a Parisian art dealer who abandons his wife and career to pursue a memorably pathetic international crime caper, I'm Gone combines, according to Publishers Weekly, "the offhand wit of Raymond Chandler with the narrative agility of Peter Hoeg," creating en route what Library Journal calls "a sly send-up of contemporary art and life."
Author Biography: Jean Echenoz is the winner of France's prestigious Prix Goncourt for I'm Gone. The author of four previous novels in English translation, he lives in Paris.

Chapter One
"I'm going," said Ferrer. "I'm leaving you. You can keep everything, but I'm gone." And as Suzanne's gaze drifted toward the floor, settling for no good reason on an electrical outlet, Felix Ferrer dropped his keys on the entryway table. Then he buttoned up his overcoat and walked out, gently shutting the front door behind him.
Outside, without a glance at Suzanne's car whose fogged-up windows kept silent beneath the streetlamps, Ferrer began walking the six hundred yards toward the Corentin-Celton metro stop. At nearly nine o'clock, this first Sunday evening in January, the train was all but deserted. Only a dozen men were inside, unattached, as Ferrer seemed to have become in the last twenty-five minutes. Normally he would have rejoiced to find two empty facing benches, like a little compartment for himself alone, which in the metro was his preferred seating arrangement. But on this evening he scarcely gave it a thought, distracted but less preoccupied than he would have imagined by the scene that had just been played out with Suzanne, a woman of difficult character. Having envisioned a more vehement response, cries interspersed with threats and fiery insults, he was relieved, but somewhat put out by his own relief.
He set down his valise, which contained mainly toilet articles and a change of underwear, and at first he stared straight ahead, mechanically skimming over the advertising panels for floor coverings, dating services, and real estate listings. Later, between the Vaugirard and Volontaires stations, Ferrer opened the valise to remove an auction catalogue featuring traditional Persian artwork, which he leafed through up to Madeleine, where he got off.
Around the Madeleine church, strings of unlit Christmas lights hovered above streets still more deserted than the subway. The decorated windows of the high-priced shops reminded the nonexistent pedestrians that they would survive the end-of-year festivities. Alone in his overcoat, Ferrer skirted the church toward an even number on Rue de l'Arcade.
To find the building's entry code, his hands forged a path under his clothing: the left one toward the address book slipped into an inside pocket, the right toward his glasses stuffed into a breast pocket. Then, having passed through the main door, ignoring the elevator, he firmly attacked the service stairs. He reached the sixth floor less out of breath than I would have imagined, in front of a badly repainted brick-red door whose hinges bespoke at least two attempted break-ins. No name on the door, just a tacked-up photo curling at the corners, depicting the lifeless body of Manuel Montoliu, an ex-matador-cum-banderillero, after an animal named Cubatisto had opened his heart like a book on May 1, 1992: Ferrer tapped lightly on the photo twice.
While he waited, the nails of his right hand dug into the inner surface of his left forearm, just above the wrist, where numerous tendons and blue veins intersected under whiter skin. Then, her hair very dark and very long, no older than thirty nor shorter than five foot ten, the young woman named Laurence who had just opened the door smiled at him without saying a word before closing it behind them both. And the next morning at around ten, Ferrer left for his studio.

Night Shift is a 1982 American comedy film, one of former actor Ron Howard's earliest directorial efforts, concerning a timid night shift morgue employee whose life is turned upside down by a free-spirited entrepreneur. It stars Howard's Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler along with Michael Keaton, in his first starring role, and Shelley Long, who later in the year would star as Diane Chambers in the popular sitcom Cheers. Also appearing are Richard Belzer, and (as usual for Ron Howard films, his brother) Clint Howard. A young Kevin Costner has a brief scene as "Frat Boy #1", Shannen Doherty appears as a Bluebell scout, Dawn Dunlap as Maxine and Vincent Schiavelli plays a man who delivers a sandwich to Winkler's character.
Winkler was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, while Keaton won the Kansas City Film Critics Circle Award for Best Supporting Actor.[1]
|This section needs an improved plot summary. (November 2015)
Chuck (Winkler), formerly a successful stockbroker, has found a refuge from the ulcer-inducing Wall Street rat race in his job as an attendant at the New York City morgue. His displeasure at being "promoted" to Night Shift Supervisor to make room for his boss's nephew is exacerbated by the irrational exuberance of Bill "Blaze" Blazejowski (Keaton), his new co-worker. They are inspired by the plight of Chuck's prostitute neighbor, Belinda (Long), to apply Chuck's financial acumen and Bill's entrepreneurial spirit to open a prostitution service headquartered at the morgue.
The movie's opening theme song is "Night Shift" by Quarterflash. The closing theme song, "That's What Friends Are For," was written by Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. The song is performed by Rod Stewart in the film. It was later covered by Dionne Warwick & Friends (Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Elton John); Warwick's version became a Billboard Grammy Award-winning #1 hit and raised millions for AIDS causes.
The official soundtrack was released in 1982 on the Ladd Company label and was distributed by Warner Bros. It included ten selected tracks from the film, six of which were written just for the film. The tracks included are as follows:
- "Night Shift" by Quarterflash
- "Street Talk" by Burt Bacharach
- "Girls Know How" by Al Jarreau
- "The Love Too Good to Last" by The Pointer Sisters
- "That's What Friends Are For" by Rod Stewart
- "Someday, Someway" by Marshall Crenshaw
- "Penthouse and Pavement" by Heaven 17
- "Talk Talk" by Talk Talk
- "Everlasting Love" by Rufus and Chaka Khan
- "Night Shift Love Theme (instrumental)" by Burt Bacharach
The soundtrack was a vinyl and cassette-only release. The versions of "Talk Talk" and "Penthouse and Pavement" that are on the soundtrack are different from any other releases of the songs as they were specially mixed for the soundtrack.
Other songs heard in the film include "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen and a live version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones, taken from the 1977 live album Love You Live; a section of "Cutting Branches for a Temporary Shelter" by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra is also heard.
Box office[edit]
Night Shift earned approximately $21.1 million at the domestic box office.[2]
Critical reception[edit]
The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 95% of 19 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6.6 out of 10.[3] Many reviewers praised the performances of the two male leads, particularly Michael Keaton.
TV Guide′s Movie Guide wrote that "Winkler turns in the best performance of his career, and Keaton is wonderful."[4] The Chicago Reader Jonathan Rosenbaum compared Night Shift to the subsequent comedy film Risky Business (which also dealt with the theme of prostitution), noting that Night Shift isn't "as snappily directed or as caustically conceived, ... but it's arguably just as sexy and almost as funny."[5] The New York Times′ Janet Maslin, however, deemed Night Shift "a halfway funny movie, one that's got loads of good gags in its first half and nothing but trouble in its second."[6]

Lt. Gov. Jerry Abramson will keynote the 38th Governor's Conference on Energy and the Environment, which runs Monday and Tuesday next week in Louisville at the Hyatt Regency.
There won't be many environmentalists speaking. It is mostly industry representatives and government officials.
I've looked at the agenda and I've identified three environmentalists — Tom FitzGerald, Art Williams and Dan Mullen. Mullen is with the CERES, which works with getting businesses to be more sustainable. Now I know, these days everybody is an environmentalist. But you know who what I mean. Williams, now with the Kentucky Conservation Committee, is a former commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Environmental Protection and director of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District. And Fitz is, well — he is used to being about the only environmentalist in the room and has a way of filling that void.
State Energy and Environment Cabinet officials who put the conference on say the goal is to create a conversation among government, business and community leaders on how to take advantage of opportunities and tackle the energy and environmental challenges presented in today's global economy.
Despite what appears to me to be a lack of balance, the subject matter is interesting and important and the speakers have great credentials. Those who attend will be able to get a good idea of mainstream government and industry thinking on such issues as air quality, coal, natural gas and biofuels, with a splash of countering viewpoints.
One of the key sessions from opening day, for example:
Panelists will discuss various implications of federal air regulations affecting electric utilities, including uncertainties as a result of a recent court action vacating of the Cross State Air Pollution Rule.
Panelists: John Lyons, Director, Kentucky Division for Air Quality; John Voyles, Vice President, Transmission and Generation Services, LG&E/KU; Leonard Peters, Secretary, Energy and Environment Cabinet; Jim Gardner, Vice Chairman, Kentucky Public Service Commission Moderator: Bruce Scott, Commissioner, Department for Environmental Protection.

krista's Profile
Quirky, weird, unusual, amusing, witty, giggle-inducing... that's me, in a nutshell. Making my mark from an early age, I was that kid that drew on the walls with permanent marker no less.
Wife to a super supportive husband, Mom to two sweet and funny kiddos who just may have inherited Mommy's art gene. My son, the Robot maker, drew on the fridge with a Sharpie when he was 2 1/2. While alarmed, I was amused at the same time. Payback, my parents said. My daughter, still a toddler, enjoys creating in a variety of media just like her Mommy.
I obtained my BFA in Studio Art/Printmaking from the University of Central Missouri. I love to work in photography, water-based printmaking media, small sculptures, assemblages, watercolors and artist's books. And yes, I still LOVE Sharpies!

Go to any bookstore and find a book of quotes, sports specific or not. A good portion of the publication wil be devoted to the sayings of legendary Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, who passed away on Tuesday at the age of 90.
"Yogi-isms" as they are known in the sports world, are not only insightful but entertaining as well. There may not be a more quoted athlete in the history of sports. He was revered for his play and admired for his sayings.
MORE: Classic photos of Yogi Berra | It ain't over 'til it's over | Notable sports deaths of 2015
It would be a fool's errand to try and document all of his sayings. But in honor of the man he was, we have compiled a collection of some of his finest work.

HONOLULU (AP) — The Navy has investigated the case of a sailor who didn't salute as the national anthem played at Pearl Harbor, in a protest that echoes recent moves by professional athletes to kneel during the anthem. The U.S. Pacific Fleet referred her case to her commander, who has the authority to punish the sailor, a Navy reservist. Saluting during the national anthem is a daily ritual for men and women in the military. Here's a look at the protocol behind it.
HONG KONG (AP) — Energy companies led a rally in Asian stock markets Thursday as investors welcomed news that OPEC nations planned to cut oil production for the first time in eight years in an effort to reduce a global glut.

So much for that idea. On Wednesday after close of trading, a spokesperson for Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE: ADM ) confirmed that the board of directors of Australian grain processor GrainCorp has officially rejected ADM's Dec. 3 offer to acquire the company.
ADM had proposed buying the 80.1% of GrainCorp's shares that it did not already own, for a purchase price of $12.73 per share. ADM had further proposed that current holders of GrainCorp shares would keep for themselves the $0.365-per-share dividend that GrainCorp announced on Nov. 15.
GrainCorp, however, replied Wednesday that "the increase in the proposed price has not changed the Board's view that ADM's proposal materially undervalues GrainCorp," and it so informed ADM.
ADM shares closed down 0.2% at $27.22 Wednesday, before news of GrainCorp's response had been made public.

U.S. Drone Strike Kills 5 Women & 4 Children in Pakistan
Yesterday, Pakistan's top army general, Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, sat down with Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and told him that American drone strikes in Pakistan were complicating Pakistan's fight against Islamic militants. Today, an American unmanned aerial drone attack has killed at least 25 Pakistanis, including five women and four children.
According to the BBC, the attack occurred in the town of Spinwam, located in the largely lawless tribal region of North Waziristan, a longtime haven for al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. But the four missiles fired by the pilotless US aircraft struck a family home as well as a compound housing suspected militants, and nine civilians were killed. Several other people were injured in the attack.
The latest slaughter of innocent Pakistanis is sure to enrage a nation already at the end of its rope with America. While US drone strikes have killed some senior militants, far more civilians– well over 700— have died as a result of the attacks. Since taking office, US President Barack Obama has significantly increased the number of drone strikes in Pakistan, resulting in a sentiment among that country's people that Washington is running roughshod over their sovereignty.
Accidents like this one also contribute to the popular belief that the United States doesn't value Muslim lives the same as it does American ones. A series of particularly deadly strikes this year, like the March 17th attack on a tribal meeting that massacred 40 innocent people and a February helicopter attack that killed 9 children, ages 8 to 14, only adds fuel to the fire of Pakistani outrage.
US-Pakistani relations have also been strained by the release of CIA contractor Raymond Davis, who was arrested in Pakistan after he shot dead two men on a Lahore street in January, and by Admiral Mullen's allegation that the ISI, Pakistan's spy agency, has links to Islamic militants who are killing US troops in neighboring Afghanistan.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart networks are becoming part of our daily life. Social networks and novel infrastructure networks are all around us and promise new exciting opportunities of communication, collaboration and doing business. These new adventures come at a high price though: Our privacy.
Online privacy is one of the major concerns in todays modern society. Far too often we trade privacy for trust in order to reap the promised potential of such smart networks. Since the fundaments of rights shifted from the person to social circumstances, it is increasingly difficult to protect the privacy of individuals sharing a public space, or performing public activities.
This issue collects tutorials and original contributions in the area of trust and privacy in networks. Contributions are welcome that contain theoretical work about trust and privacy in networks as well as present practical examples from our daily life.

In one of my early blog posts for ClickZ, I wrote about features to use within Google Analytics to more efficiently access your data. What I want to talk more about in this post is the fourth item of the previous post, Cost Data Uploads. The feature holds a vast amount of potential for paid media teams, both online and traditional.
Cost Data Uploads possess this value by giving media teams the ability to directly tie campaign costs to outcomes, in one interface. Within a matter of seconds, marketers can see where their return on investment (ROI) is greatest, where they are lacking, and easily further segment into each group based on dimensions, such as location, device type, operating system, etc.
But, I've talked about this topic once already, so why again you ask? Well, recently Google announced the ability to perform Cost Data Uploads directly from the Admin interface. This has greatly reduced the previous barrier of needing to leverage the Google Analytics API to upload the data, and Google has also updated a few things, such as being able to upload multiple dates within one upload.
What this means for you, the marketer, is you can now achieve deeper insights than ever before, within about 30 minutes. So without further ado, if you are ready to optimize like you've never optimized before, here is a step-by-step guide on how to successfully upload cost data within Google Analytics:
1. From the Admin interface of Google Analytics, select the "Data Import" link under the Property to which you want to upload cost data.
2. Within this section, click on the "+New Data Set" button and then select "Cost Data." Don't worry if you see a different amount of options than in the screenshot below. If your account is not yet upgraded to Universal Analytics, you will have a lesser amount.
3. Once you proceed to the next step, provide a name for your data set and select the views within the property for which you would like this data imported.
4. Step four, and nearly done. From this section select the schema (dimensions and metrics) that you would like to import, beyond the minimum requirements. The schema you select will be tailored to the marketing channel you are using, the data you have available to import, and what data you need to perform optimizations. Here, I have selected what I find helpful when optimizing paid search campaigns, but again, your schema may vary.
Once you have your schema set up, click the Save button.
5. The last part of the configuration setup is to click the "Get schema" button, which will let you download an Excel template, and then click "Done."
6. Now to actually import the data. Export your data from your various channel sources and fill in the data in the corresponding columns of your template. When you have your data in the properly formatted template, click on the Data Import link again from the Admin interface and click the "Manage Uploads" link to the right of your data set. From this page, upload your csv file. You should receive a status of Pending until Google Analytics has been able to process your file.
So there you have it, six quick, pain-free steps to gaining access to extremely valuable information for your media campaigns within Google Analytics. Once you have this information imported, start using it within the "Cost Analysis" report suite under the Acquisition section.

Friends in high places
"This is my father's house!" yells Jesus of Nazareth, as he kicks over the money-changers' stalls, and throws coins in the air.
This is not the hippy, cheek-turning Christ. He is furious, radical, almost manic at this crime: usury in the home of Jehovah. The high priest tells the angry young rabbi that the money-changers are necessary: no idolatrous pagan coins can sully the Temple.
Jesus proclaims a new law, a new covenant.
"God is an immortal spirit who belongs to everybody," he fumes, teeth bared.
"You think you're special? God is not an Israelite!"
This scene, from Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, an adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis' masterpiece novel, is still poignant today. In Israel, for example, many Jewish settlers have staked claim on the Holy Land - a military claim, to be sure, but one justified by a contract between the Jews and an invisible spirit. He is not simply a god. He is their God, from whom they will receive the Promised Land.
Of course, many of the Zionists who fought - figuratively and literally - for the state of Israel were not Orthodox. They may have had their faith, but they were religiously moderate soldiers and politicians, not fundamentalists with a promissory note from Jehovah. Meanwhile, some ultra-Orthodox Israeli Jews are actually anti-Zionists, believing that the modern state of Israel was secured by secular, and not divine, means - they are still waiting for their messiah, and the fulfilment of the Biblical covenant.
Still, between the secularists and the fundamentalists, there are many who believe that Israel is theirs, because their god in their bible gave it to them. God is an Israelite, and something of a divine real estate agent.
This is precisely what Kazantzakis, in The Last Temptation, was responding to: the idea that the cosmos owes one's tribe or nation a favour. He was criticising the metaphysical conceit that smuggles human desire and anxiety away, into an invisible, inviolable world, and blesses it with the name 'god'. In this, Christ was something of a liberation: instead of keeping salvation for one ethnicity, he said it was for everyone. "The bosom of God is not a ghetto," says Kazantzakis' Christ, "it embraces the entire world."
But Christians can also become vulgar exceptionalists, clinging to their favoured traditions. In the '50s, after the publication of The Last Temptation, Kazantzakis was excommunicated by the Greek Orthodox Church, and the novel was put on the Papal Index - a 'banned book', in other words. They took issue with his carnal, visceral portrait of the Christ.
To the Orthodox Church, the author replied:
"You have execrated me, Holy Fathers; I bless you. I pray that your conscience may be as clean as mine and that you may be as moral and as religious as I am."
The implication, of course, is that they were not: for all their codes, laws, cathedrals and fine words, they were hypocrites and vulgarised versions of Christ's example.
This combination of piety and hypocrisy can be causal: the more desperately the faithful grip their own special rites and garb, the less they are able to cultivate their characters. The means are mistaken for the ends. And because of the above metaphysical conceit, they have no vision of human flourishing to correct their errors. Idealised vice stops reflection and growth.
But Kazantzakis' vision suggests another error at work in religious exceptionalism. It is not a logical failure, but a failure of virtue. It is this belief that god cares; that there is a sentient creator who is not only benevolent and loyal, but also genuinely concerned with the day-to-day labours and longings of ordinary human beings. Christianity, Judaism and Islam share this view, and it is founded on a vice: the craven unwillingness to face an indifferent cosmos.
Compare this to Kazantzakis. For the novelist, 'god' was no anthropomorphised sprite, working to give his (and it is usually a 'he') tribe their historical inheritance. Instead, god was an 'it' - barely a god at all: an indifferent, merciless, seemingly capricious process, which drove men on, but gave no reason for hope or faith. His real divinity was, as he put it in Journeyings, 'one of 'destruction and... creation, death and love together'. Nature and human nature by another name.
The point is not that Kazantzakis was perfectly right about cosmology or evolution. The point is that, over his long life, he kept his reverence for existence, without having to justify this existence with a personal god. Like the best of the Abrahamic folks, Kazantzakis was willing to suffer physical and psychological hardship; to sacrifice himself for 'higher' things. But unlike these religions, the Greek author did not need the consolation and justification of a cosmological engineer and judge, with a blueprint for history, and set of moral scales calibrated for one holy tribe or incantation.
To my mind, this belief casts perhaps the most doubt on faith. While the chances are small, there might be a sentient creator, somewhere, somehow, beyond today's science. Science cannot give perfect certainty - this is its brilliance. But the chances of a partisan arbiter, revealed to, and working for, one nation or church? Fastidious about garb, incantations, architecture and geography? This sounds less like a reasonable empirical discovery or logical argument, and more like wishful thinking. It is the fantasy of a scared or covetous child. Put another way, the most obvious reason for doubting one's 'friends in high places' is that they are simply too good to be true. And only the odd respectability of age has given these fantasies more credibility than the humble daydreams of the sane, or grandiose delusions of madmen.
To recognise this is not to require social homogeneity; not to demand the death of old rituals and sacred languages. Reverence is a common human trait, and it always wears the clothing of its tribe or nation. "No-one has…reported of a Buddhist arhat surprised by a vision of Christ, or a Christian nun by the Buddha," wrote Joseph Campbell in his Masks of God.
But there is an important difference between cultural uniqueness and cosmic specialness. And religions, with their combination of realpolitik, idealism and conceit, regularly muddle the two.
Ultimately, this is a matter of honesty and the drive to maintain it in the face of a cold, mostly-dead universe. The Abrahamic faiths have a long history of virtues, including honesty, mercy, temperance, and so on. But they might also benefit from a little more courage: to confront a cosmos that simply does not care about them. To be strong enough to face the abyss, as Kazantzakis might put it - and then to dance over it, regardless.

A Welcoming Sight
One of the first things we see, as we step into our home, is our grandmother's mushroom basket. We don't use it, as she did, to collect mushrooms. Instead, it sits next to our front door and contains our mittens and woolen hats. It's useful and looks very sweet but, more importantly, it reminds us of a mushroom hunting grandma who's no longer out in the woods. So what do you see and why does it whisper or shout Welcome Home?

Would You Kindly...By Roland Le Fort Score:
Oct 08, 2007 10:57PM PST
To counter the ever-present enemies you are given both a variety of weapons, and the games originality, plasmids. The weapons have a nice variety with close-range, long-range, melee, and "big bang" weapons, that can all play a part within the game play, never leaving one behind as the game proceeds. Now the plasmids add a nice change from the usual FPS, so that you can change both the state of your surroundings, and the state of your enemies. With the use of plasmids you can freeze, burn, shock, sting, and much more to inflict as much pain upon your enemies as possible. These two â??weaponâ?? types can be mixed well to help support each other during game play, and never feel out of place, or over-powering.
The story within this game is wonderfully done and with the addition of the tape recordings spread throughout Rapture. Some tapes can be played twice if you find the tape recording, and then later it is played again to reveal more of the story-line, even if you have already heard it. Even with the occasional tape replay there is quite a twisted web that has gone on between a few of the main characters, and it is one that I was glad to get caught in.
All in all, this is an amazing game that has exceeded in all aspects of game play, story, and the horror mood that it presented. If you havenâ??t played this game yet, would you kindlyâ?¦
