A classic work of journalism
Mitchell's classic piece of writing first appeared in part in the New Yorker magazine as a profile of one of the last "true" Bohemians still wandering Greenwich Village. The first part of the book is what appeared in the New Yorker, and the second half is a follow up about what happened to Joe Gould and more of Mitchell learned about him later. It's a poignant portrait of both Gould and the Greenwich Village that used to be-- as well as showing us how the mind of a great writer works. Fast read. Highly recommended.

The 50 Best Southern Novels Ever Written
The American South has long been seen as the focus of the country's Civil Rights Movement, carrying with it the stigma of poverty, racism, and anti-intellectualism. Yet the region has also produced a disproportionate number of intellectuals, poets, and writers, possibly because of the complicated and layered identities each Southerner holds within him- or herself. The South has begotten some of our nation's most important authors, including prize winners like William Styron, Eudora Welty, Flannery O'Connor, Ralph Ellison, Harper Lee, and that titan of American letters, William Faulkner. These 50 novels are a reminder that the South cannot be defined solely by its failings; it is also responsible for shaping the minds of countless thinkers who offered to American literature essential insights about not only their region but the world at… Read More

Why Do We Treat Literature's Male and Female Alcoholics So Differently?
This weekend, the Guardian ran an excerpt from a new book by the writer and critic Olivia Laing called The Trip to Echo Spring: Why Writers Drink. The book will not be out in the United States until December, but the excerpt was a hit on social media. Writers, depression, addiction: these are magical elements for public legacies. Scott Fitzgerald wouldn't be recognizable without the drink, nor Hemingway. Both of them appear in Laing's narrative, along with Tennessee Williams, John Cheever, John Berryman, and Raymond Carver. It sounds fascinating, and I can't wait to read it. … Read More
10 Books Guaranteed to Make You Cry
This week, we read about a study, recently published in PLOS ONE, in which researchers found that "the emotional content of published English has been steadily decreasing over the past century, with the exception of words associated with fear, an emotion which has resurged over the past decades." Well, we don't doubt it. But that's not to say that literature has lost any of its power to elicit emotions.

Read through our picks after the jump, and since everyone has different triggers, let us know which books are guaranteed to make you cry in the comments. … Read More

PIERCE COUNTY, Wash. -- The Pierce County man who fell down an abandoned well beneath his tool shed told rescuers he had no idea the well was there.
He was at that point just stunned, said Central Pierce Fire & Rescue firefighter Jim Girt.
Girt climbed down the 15-foot deep hole to help rescue the 68-year-old man. Neither man was injured.
Girt said in his 12 years as a firefighter, he had never been on an abandoned well call. The county s well inspector said the hazard is more common than most realize.
You walk in the backyard and you just won t see it, said Rich Dickerson with the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.
Dickerson said the well that collapsed was likely dug, by hand, in the early 1900 s when the home was built.
In those days, said Dickerson, homeowners did not have to document where or how wells were created.
That changed in 1972, when the state s Department of Ecology began creating a database of all well diggings and decommissions.
The Department of Ecology has a website regarding abandoned wells.
After Wednesday s incident, the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department linked information on their webpage about Decommissioning of Abandoned Wells.

You've fallen in love with English country style or with flea market finds artfully displayed in a Paris apartment. But then there's that mod London flat that caught your eye, and a romantic Thai teak headboard you saw in the stack of design magazines by your bed. How can you realize your style aspirations and maintain your sanity? Decorating a home is a complicated, time-consuming process, so surrounding yourself with a professional team is the best way to ensure you end up with the results you envision. To nurture the relationship between you and your designer, here are some insights into what I call "designiquette."
1 It takes a team -- don't go it alone Recently, I was hired after a project was initiated and was dismayed to learn that the plan for one of the large home's four bedrooms included no windows and its ensuite could only be entered through a closet. While I'm not suggesting this is a typical experience of working with other important trades, I am saying that a large renovation project should be initiated with a complete team that includes a designer, architect and contractor. Each professional brings a unique perspective, and their roles are not interchangeable. A client benefits most when these experts work harmoniously toward a common vision, so foster cohesiveness through ongoing team communication.
2 Be clear about your expectations State objectives, like the desired timeline, and a description of your likes and dislikes at the outset of the project. Determine a reasonable budget and share that information with your designer. If you have $10,000 to spend, say so. That way, the designer can recommend appropriate strategies to maximize your spending power. It's best to avoid spreading limited resources over several rooms, as one finished room will be much more satisfying than three rooms that are only just started.
3 Charging for professional services Designers aren't paid for their time but for their expertise. Expertise is quantified in increments of time -- in other words, we charge by the hour or set a project fee based on an estimate of time. A contract should spell out fees in detail. Many firms charge a range of fees: one for the senior designer, another for junior designers and a third for administration. Besides upfront work, like meeting on-site, producing drawings and selecting fabrics, allow for "behind-the-scenes" work. For example, a client once questioned being billed 15 minutes to receive fabric for her sofa, determine it was wrong, arrange the return and shipment of the correct fabric, phone the upholsterer, and notify the homeowner. When I asked, "Would it have been preferable to have had the fabric sent directly to the upholsterer and ended up with the wrong one on your sofa?" she understood perfectly. That brings me to my next point: trust.

Caroline Reid - Unregistered May 09, 2011 11:42 AM FOTA are just not dynamic or forward thinking, they just like to tinker around the edges. 5 agree 2 disagree
James Montgomery May 09, 2011 11:42 AM Last Edited 1455 days ago GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY?!?!?!They have been reducing aerodynamics drastically since 1995 and look what happened! Cars that couldn't stay close together!The only reason racing has been close this year is due to DRS and high degrading tyres!I wish FOTA would just shut up and let the FIA decide what will happen, they are the rule makers after all! They set the standard, the "formula", the teams should be working to those standards and make the best out of what they are given, not moan like a bunch of premadonnas of what should happen, they have been doing this for the past few years now and look what we have, the rule makers aren't allow to make the rules anymore! Reply Report abuse 3 agree 7 disagree
FOTAgraph - Unregistered May 09, 2011 12:18 PM I personally think that the cars shouldn't have very much aero at all. They should rely on mechanical grip with the aid of a small front and rear wing. The cars should also have stupidly powerful engines like they did in the late 80's/90's. Then we would see whos the worlds best driver...... and it would create better harder faster racing for everyone whist were on the subject of great racing i admit go of on a tangent, they should get rid of some of the overseas races like bahrain and abu dhabi and race at some proper tracks like the A1 ring in austria. ohhh the memories 19 agree 1 disagree
FrozenCandle May 09, 2011 12:27 PM Well there goes the only part of the 2013 regulations I was genuinely excited about. Reply Report abuse 3 agree 0 disagree
richard May 09, 2011 12:41 PM ground effects have no relevance to the modern car, and should not be encouraged. the ebd was in effect a ground effect aid, and was removed. the emphases should be returned to mechanical grip. get rid of all the aero and trickery and as others have said, have a spec rear wing and a plain spec front wing. current front wings are totally over the top, with all their elements. the teams have a right of veto over the proposed engine change, and are meeting on 14th may. lets hope that they exercise their right of veto!

Neil - Unregistered May 09, 2011 12:49 PM Bernie Ecclestone needs to be replaced as the head of Formula 1 sooner rather than later, his argument against smaller more efficient engines that people come to the races for the noise, is followed by his statement that to reduce the carbon footprint of Formula 1, they should allow less people into the circuit!! - Sorry Bernie, the cheese is sliding off your sandwich, you're arguing against yourself now!!Time to retire mate and let someone younger and more in touch with the needs of a modern business empire take over. 8 agree 7 disagree
Jon May 09, 2011 1:18 PM As a huge motorsport fan who dreams of that elusive lottery win and running teams across various sports it still amazes me that people point the 'green' finger at the race cars/bikes themselves.The problem is the entourage of trucks and vehicles that follow the whole circus around!How much diesel do McLaren use in a year?I bet it's an awful lot more than the race fuel in the cars...How many sets of tyres do cars go through?5 sets in yesterdays race- how's that for carbon footprint!More mechanical grip, less aero, longer lasting tyres and a limited number of support trucks and personnel.

Googolplex May 09, 2011 1:42 PM Last Edited 1455 days ago Jon, I believe like Bernie you miss the point. It is not the actual carbon footprint of the F1 circus that is the issue. If it was you would simply confine the racing to Europe and not have the whole circus flown to remote parts of the world in big cargo jets which burn many tonnes of fuel per hour.I believe it is the broader public and political perception of the sport which is what people like Jean Todt are seeking to address. If the sport is seen to be a cutting edge development platform for high performing, low emission, efficient 4 cylinder turbo engine technology, then it can defend its value and utility in a World increasingly vexed by the heavily politicised issue of carbon emissions.

Switching curve controller for FES-assisted standing up and sittingdown
Dolan, Michael J. and Andrews, Brian J. and Veltink, Peter H. (1998) Switching curve controller for FES-assisted standing up and sittingdown. IEEE Transactions on Rehabilitation Engineering, 6 (2). pp. 167-171. ISSN 1063-6528
93kB |
Abstract: | A low-level, closed-loop controller for FES-assisted standing up and sitting down is described. If, for able-bodied individuals, when standing up and sitting down, the knee angular velocity is plotted against knee angle, consistent phase-plane trajectories are produced. The bang-bang controller uses a model of this trajectory as a switching curve. The design rationale for the controller was the desire to avoid injuries that might occur if knee-locking on standing up and seat-contact on sitting down are not adequately controlled. This switching curve controller (SCC) was incorporated within a hierarchical, finite state control scheme, with electrical stimulation applied bilaterally to the knee extensors. The SCC was tested in a pilot study on a female volunteer with paraplegia (T5/6 ASIA A) and evaluated against an unramped, open-loop controller (OLC). The vertical hand forces and knee angles were measured. The subject was able to achieve standing up and sitting down safely using both controllers. For standing up, the SCC was not found to offer any quantifiable advantages over the OLC and was found to increase the hand force by 8.4%. In contrast, for sitting down the SCC was found to reduce the knee angular velocities as the subject approached the seat by 27%, demonstrating a safer, softer landing. |

text: The billionaire-turned-politician seemed invulnerable. He built a media empire, then seized control of the government. He couldnt stay out of troublebut never paid the price. Convicted of perjury and bribing tax inspectors, he still managed to avoid jail. Accused of chronic womanizing and outlandish orgies, he seemed only to gain jealous admirers. All this, and he was able to get himself elected three times as prime minister of Italy, the EUs third-largest economy. Only the threatened collapse of the euro zone finally toppled him. He called his resignation an act of generosity. This drama isnt over: With an estimated net worth of $6.2 billion, Berlusconi probably has another act or two left in him.

06 November 2013 17:35 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--While several producers are aiming to hold African PP prices steady for November, some prices are facing downward pressure, sources said this week.
"For most ranges we're talking about [a decrease of] $10-20/tonne for November," said a producer of homopolymer raffia, who had been targeting a rollover for November.
"We went in with a rollover," a second producer said. "Everyone tried [to roll over prices], then there is downward pressure on prices, $10-20/tonne down."
The source added that the extent of the decrease depended on the region.
In contrast, distributors in north, east and west Africa speak of muted demand and November prices decreasing by $10-50/tonne, depending on region and grade.
"I don't think anybody rolled over," a distributor in the west African market said. "I think the average decrease was $20/tonne."
A second distributor said: "North Africa demand is not good, it's very slow in North Africa. Supply is quite good from the Middle East. For PP there's a huge decrease by €40-50/tonne from October."

What do you think of the
Sessions Pearl Jam Jacket - Men's
? Share a...
Great jacket....if it worked
I've come to realize 3 things with this jacket.
1. Sessions jackets are definitely top notch!
2. Anything with Skullcandy on it is total crap!
3. The customer service reps with DogFunk (and its affiliates) are the best!
I bought this jacket and when I found the audio part (skullcandy) of it didn't work, I was able to send it back to dogfunk no questions asked, and they sent me a new one! When that one came with the same issue, they didn't hesitate to give me a full refund.
If you're looking to buy this jacket for the skullcandy feature, don't. But if you're looking for a great (overpriced) jacket, this is the one! Either way, you should definitley buy your next jacket from Dogfunk. They rock!

Bill Woodcock
This biographical article is written like a résumé. (October 2014) |
Bill Woodcock (born August 16, 1971 in San Francisco, California, United States) is the executive director of Packet Clearing House, a non-profit research institute dedicated to understanding and supporting Internet traffic exchange technology, policy, and economics. Bill entered the field of Internet routing research in 1989, while serving as the network architect and operations director for an international multiprotocol service-provision backbone network. In 1993 and 1994, Woodcock was one of the founders of Packet Clearing House, and has served in his current post as Executive Director since 1997. In that time, Woodcock has directly participated in the establishment of more than one hundred and fifty public Internet exchange points in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. He continues to serve on the boards of, and provide ongoing technical and policy advice to many of these institutions. In 1998, Woodcock and J.D. Falk's model spam regulation became the first anti-spam legislation in the world, California law 17538.4, and paved the way for other jurisdictions. Woodcock has successfully concluded telecommunications regulatory reform efforts in several African countries.
Woodcock's published work includes many PCH white-papers, the 1993 McGraw-Hill book Networking the Macintosh, the report of the ANF AppleTalk Tunneling Architectures Working Group, which he chaired in 1993 and 1994, many articles in Network World, MacWorld, MacWEEK, Connections, and other networking journals and periodicals.[1] In addition, he was principal author of the Multicast DNS, IP Anycast, and Operator Requirements of Infrastructure Management Methods IETF drafts. In the early 1990s, he pioneered IGP and EGP-based topological load-balancing techniques using IP Anycast technology. Together with Mark Kosters he proposed at the 1996 Montreal IEPG that the root DNS servers be migrated to IP Anycast, and their work has provided the basis upon which root DNS servers have been deployed since the late 1990s.[2] In 2010 and 2011, with Rick Lamb, who had previously built the signing system that places DNSSEC cryptographic signatures on the DNS root zone, Woodcock built the first global-scale FIPS 140-2 Level 4 DNSSEC signing infrastructure, with locations in Singapore, Zurich, and San Jose.[3][4][5][6] In addition to protocol development work, Woodcock has developed networking products for Cisco, Agilent, and Farallon. Woodcock has director roles in four companies in the areas of satellite communications, content distribution, and domain name service technology. In 2001 Woodcock co-authored (with Chuck Goolsbee) the infamous "Chuck & Woody's Fiendishly Difficult Mac-Mgrs Trivia Quiz" for the annual gathering of member of the Macintosh Managers mailing list in San Francisco for Macworld Expo. To date over 50% of the questions remain unanswered. For more than twenty years, together with Richard Ford and initially Brita Meng, he hosted the annual and inaptly named A/UX User's Group Dinner, in conjunction Mactivity and Macworld meetings.
Woodcock has also served on the board of trustees of ARIN since 2002, the board of directors of the Internet Capacity Development Consortium[7] since 2004, the .ORG Public Interest Registry Advisory Board 2005-2007, and the board of the ISP/Consortium in 1998 and 1999. He is a current or former PCH representative to AfriNIC, APNIC, ARIN, IEPG, ISOC, the ISP/C, LACNIC, NATOA, and RIPE, and he speaks regularly at AfNOG, APIA, APNIC, APRICOT, ARIN, ISOC, RIPE, IEPG, IETF, SANOG and NANOG meetings. He has served on the program committees of NANOG, SANOG, PAM, and APRICOT.
Woodcock was one of the two international liaisons in Estonia during the computer attacks unleashed after the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn incident and assisted in the defense coordinated by Hillar Aarelaid and the CERT-EE.[8][9][10]
In the wake of the ITU's December 2012 World Conference on International Telecommunications, which he characterised as an attempted take-over of the institutions of Internet governance, Woodcock published a number of secret ITU budget documents and acted as point-person in an effort to redirect USD 11M in U.S. government funds from ITU contributions to support of the multistakeholder model of Internet governance.[11] This effort centered around a "We the People" petition and an web site, and received much favorable attention in the press and Internet governance community.[12][13]

Apparent hunter found with drugs, no licenses for shotguns in Raynham
Nov 16, 2010
RAYNHAM - A 50-year-old Taunton man was arrested in Raynham on Saturday after he was found on the property of a John Deere tractor store in a pickup truck containing two fully loaded shotguns and illicit drugs, according to the Raynham Police Department.
Antonio Gomes, of 239 Burt St., Taunton, was arrested and charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition and possession of a Class B drug at Padula Brothers, 184 Broadway, at 4:56 a.m.
Raynham Police Sgt. James Donovan spotted a black GMC Sierra pickup truck at the rear of Padula Brothers (where a large inventory of expensive equipment is kept) when the lawn tractor store was not open, police said.
"I asked the operator for his driver's license and he told me he did not have it with him," Donovan wrote in a police report. "While I was speaking to Gomes I observed a double barreled shotgun on the passenger's seat with the muzzle on the floor and the buttstock on the seat. I asked Gomes if the shotgun was loaded and he said no. I told him I was going to check and he said 'maybe it is loaded.'" Gomes then reached over to the gun and opened the action to eject two live shotgun rounds, police said. At that point, Gomes was asked to exit the vehicle and was put in handcuffs when he told Donovan that he didn't have his hunting and gun licenses, police said.
Police noted hunting equipment inside his car, including a tree stand, bows and arrows and other material. There was a graphic on the entire back window of his truck that depicted a scene of three deer, police said.
According to the Massachusetts Firearms Records Bureau database, Gomes currently has no active FID cards or LTC firearms. He previously had a FID card that expired in 2000.
Police said they then found a crumpled cigarette pack that held four white pills, which Gomes said were Percocet that were prescribed to him for back pain. Gomes said that his prescription was at home. Police also confiscated a hand rolled marijuana cigarette that was held in a console in the truck. Police found another fully-loaded 12 gauge shotgun (of the pump action variety) under the back seat, Donovan wrote in his report. Fourteen 12 gauge shotgun shells were stored as evidence.
Gomes told police that he was there because he worked for nearby Lopes Construction.
"I searched the area Gomes had driven from and found the tire marks from his truck led to an area next to the gate to Lopes Construction and there were numerous fresh deer footprints where he had driven," Donovan wrote in the report.
Gomes was released on personal recognizance at 7:30 a.m. by the Clerk Magistrate, police said.

saw the milwaukee show on april 1st. ladytron was most unimpressive. the faint rocked the house. ladytron's vocal sounds that are excellent on the records were not there live. marnie's songs were the disappointing. mira aroyo's however were better. they also the victim of a real bad mix by the sound engineer who pushed the volume at a high level of the music while the vocals were undistinguishable. this tour will have a real hard time surviving when ladytron headlines over the faint. the faint's members are bouncing all over the stage getting the crowd to bounce all over the floor. ladytron played most of the night unemotionally and the crowd wanted more from them.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico – The newly appointed tourism minister in western Jalisco state was shot to death Saturday while driving in a suburb of Guadalajara in an attack that may have been related to his business dealings, authorities said.
Jose de Jesus Gallegos Alvarez was shot with a 9-mm pistol during a chase as he drove his Toyota SUV in Zapopan, State Government General Secretary Arturo Zamora said.
He said preliminary investigations indicated the attack was not related to Gallegos' work promoting tourism. Jalisco is home to Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city, as well as such popular Mexican traditions as mariachi music and tequila.
The attack may have had to do with his private business dealings, Zamora said.
"We are working to resolve this case to the ultimate consequences," he said. "The state will not allow such acts."
Gallegos was to serve under new Gov. Aristoteles Sandoval, who was just sworn in March 1.
According to profile material, Gallegos, an engineer, was founder and president of Jegal Project and Construction Management, a key developer of the Mayan Resorts and several condominium towers in Guadalajara and resort cities such as Acapulco, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta.
Local political and police officials are often targets of assassinations in Mexico, but rarely tourism officials.
President Enrique Peña Nieto condemned the attack in his Twitter account and said he had ordered a thorough investigation to bring those responsible to justice.

When two lobes of the liver of the adult rat are removed, the cells of the remaining lobe are aroused to renewed cell division. We have studied the early events in such regeneration. The first observable response to such partial hepatectomy is the production in the liver nuclei of rapidly-labeled high-molecular-weight RNA of sequences not produced by normal liver. This is followed, with a lag of about 1 hr, by the appearance of increased (above normal) amounts of chromosomal RNA, again of sequences not produced by normal liver. With a lag of another hour, the template activity in support of RNA synthesis of the liver chromatin increases substantially. These events occur before initiation of DNA synthesis in the cells of the regenerating liver.

Electric car "purchase consideration" doubles since 2007
Today, there's only one highway-speed electric vehicle you can actually go out and buy in the U.S.: the Tesla Roadster. In the next 18 months, though, more options for zero tailpipe emissions vehicles will become available, and consumers are getting ready. According to CNW Marketing Research, the number of car buyers who are at least considering buying a pure electric vehicle has doubled since 2007. Of course, doubling isn't all that big a deal when you're going from around two percent to five percent and considering isn't the same as saving up now to buy and EV when they come to market.
EV advocates have a strong case to make that the "EV grin" (what happens when people get into an electric car for the first time and experience the quiet power of a well-designed electric car) is absolutely contagious and fully expect people to happily gravitate towards EVs in the coming years. Still, lets not forget that hybrids, which have been on the market in the U.S. since 2000, only make up around two to three percent of all new cars sold in the U.S. today.

How To: Repair a Cataraft Nose Cone (2:37)
NRS River Cat and Kodiak cataraft tubes use a proprietary two-piece plastic nose cone to seal the ends of the tubes. We use top-quality "50-year" silicone sealant to bond the nose cone to the boat material. If you experience air leaking around a nose cone it usually results from one of two things. Either the silicone has been dislodged or the inner part of the cone has cracked, usually from a crash against a rock or other hard object. This video shows you how to repair a nose cone leak.

Down With Silence
Poet, teacher, world-class talker Morton Marcus 'shouts down the silence' in his new book of verse
By Mike Connor
MORTON MARCUS is talking to his foot here, an act that should rightfully earn him an amusingly enviable new epithet. Along with 1999 Santa Cruz County Artist of the Year, Retired English and Film Teacher and Nationally Renowned Prose Poet, please add the title Man Who Has Conversations With His Right Foot.
Widely acclaimed for his prose poetry, Marcus has also been laying down some of his most personal musings in verse form and publishing them in literary journals around the country. Coming out on the heels of his latest book of prose poetry, released earlier this year, Marcus' newest volume of poems, Shouting Down the Silence (Creative Arts; $15 paper), is a collection of verse poems written between 1988 and 2001. The lines above are taken from his poem "I Have a Talk With My Right Foot," and it's doubly fitting that this is one of the most rhythmic offerings in the bunch.
"They're some of the most ambitious poems I've written" Marcus enthuses. "It's like a different writer wrote them, because every book I write is different in style and approach than any other."
Shouting is divided into four sections. Part 1, titled "Lost Homes," is full of startlingly intimate poems about his personal life, like the frankly titled "My Aloneness" and "My Daughters Grown," where we find Marcus struggling with how to be a father once the girls are grown. "My wife, / who has similar problems with her father, / says I always imagine my daughters / as little girls asleep in that ancient room, / and only when I portray them as women / will we be able to converse in a manner / that will satisfy us all. She's right, / I'm sure, but she's not a father."
Marcus insists the poems are not all literally autobiographical. "What is individual, I must make universal, because in the end the reader wants to read about his or her life, and how this makes their life more important or more understandable."
Part 2 explores Marcus' travels in the Balkans and Greece. Marcus seems to be at his strongest when he's poking mischievously at the mysteries of the universe, where his poetry is often punctuated by fits of agnostic candor, as in "St. Mark's Cathedral," of which he writes:
Part 3 is, according to Marcus, "the most popular in the book--they're poems about composers, writers and painters and their apocryphal stories, the well-known legends that these writers lived through." Like Robert Schumann's wife, Clara--"I always see her / in her later years, a small German woman / seated before the crouching black beast / of her husband's madness."
Which leads to Part 4, a hodgepodge of poems, some of which represent the most innovative work in the book, both conceptually and lyrically, but feel cramped in verse form. It becomes apparent that the spaciousness of the prose form better fits Marcus' naturally expansive style. But his experimentation with verse pays off, as in the deliciously visceral "Tongue," in which he writes:
"Suffering" tackles the subject head-on and offers a surprisingly Zen answer. But his most breathtaking work appears in the book's namesake, "Shouting Down the Silence," and in "The Boy in the Painting," inspired by the painting that adorns the cover of his book.
In the former, Marcus envisions his ideal death: "To let my last breath go / with the same unthinking assurance / as that breeze sailing down the mountain range"; in the latter, the death of another: "Then an old man come to his final rest / whose last shout is his whole life, a torch-- / thrown against the darkness--that for an instant / slides like a falling star across the night."

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's CSA safety enforcement program has been successful in some respects but needs improvements, says the Government Accountability Office. CSA has helped the agency expand its reach, among other benefits, but because of data shortcomings it is not as strong a predictor of crash risk as it could be, the watchdog agency said.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's newest enforcement tool is a shutdown order for carriers that flagrantly disregard the safety rules.

The highway law that took so much effort over the past five years is just six months old, but now it's time to start again.

The Street Sweeper
This is the remarkable story of intertwining lives dealing with a man recently released from prison, a Holocaust survivor he befriends, a history professor from Columbia Univ., and the effects their lives have on each other in unimaginable ways. You may be surprised at how it will affect you. Highly recommended.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
This is the story of a young boy (Oskar) who lost his beloved father on Sept 11th. He finds a key among his father's things and begins to believe that if he can find the lock which is opened by his key, he will have a greater understanding of his father. He makes a plan to visit all of the people with the last name of Black in New York City. As we follow him in his quest, we also learn the story of his grandparents who survived the bombing of Dresden. It is a sad book and sometimes a bit difficult to read because Oskar has a mild form of autism and the story of the grandparents goes back and forth in time, but Oskar touches your heart from the beginning and you really want his story to have a happy ending.
In a future society, sixteen year old Beatrice Prior must choose one of five factions where she will spend the rest of her life. Each faction is devoted to a specific virtue: Candor (honesty), Abnegation (selflessness), Dauntless (bravery), Amity (peace), and Erudite (knowledge). Her decision is complicated during a test each sixteen year old takes that tells them which faction they would best fit in with.

Johnny Got His Gun
This is a harsh, honest, fast-moving and engaging book that will, hopefully, make you reconsider the principles of war. Joe loses all his limbs, his face: nose, eyes, mouth and his hearing. With no way to communicate he is left to contemplate his short 20 year life, how he got here and what future, if any, he has. The novel pulls you in as Joe contemplates everything from love and friendship to philosophy and morals. He creates an elaborate system to determine how much time passes, and more suspenseful, wonders if he will ever communicate with the outside world again. Most powerful, he contemplates the terrors of war that are kept far from public view; speaking of 'The Great War', but universal to those today: "anybody who went out and got into the front line trenches to fight for liberty was a goddamn fool and the guy who got him there was a liar".

He left a whisper on my pillow Lingers with me night by night Whispers to me, he is with me Every moment of my life I close my eyes only to see Him standing there in front of me I reach to touch, but I can't feel Knowing now that he's not real.
