Beach park open; item not ordnance
D.T. Fleming Beach Park was reopened Tuesday night after it was determined that a device found in the ocean wasn't an explosive ordnance, police said.
A tourist snorkeling about 20 yards offshore at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday found the 8-inch-long canister partially buried in water 8 feet deep, according to Maui County spokesman Rod Antone. The snorkeler took the canister to the county lifeguard stand and left it with ocean safety officers, who called police.
Police evacuated the park by 1:10 p.m. and contacted the Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal team, which arrived from Oahu at about 8:30 p.m. The team examined the canister with an X-ray instrument and determined the device wasn't an explosive ordnance, said Lt William Juan, Maui police spokesman. The team then removed the cover from the device, finding no explosive components or substances within.
The park was reopened at 9:04 p.m.
Makawao Avenue closed for cleanup
A stretch of Makawao Avenue was closed for about an hour Tuesday morning while fire and Public Works crews cleaned a strip of oil in the middle of the lane heading toward Makawao town, a fire official said.
A Makawao engine company and Kahului hazardous materials crew responded to the 10:26 a.m. call reporting the 1.5-mile-long strip of oil from Laie Drive to an address in the 700 block of Makawao Avenue, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga.
The county Public Works Department assisted in the cleanup, with absorbent spread over the oil on the roadway, he said. Police closed the Makawao town-bound lane of Makawao Avenue from Apana Road to the address in the 700 block until the cleanup was completed.
Fire crews left the scene by 11:39 a.m.
Boat towed after taking on water
A 21-foot boat was towed to Kahului Harbor after it began taking on water about 2 miles offshore Wednesday morning, the Coast Guard reported.
The two men aboard the recreational vessel Kakaloa were wearing life jackets and were unharmed, said Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Tara Molle.
The Coast Guard worked with the Maui Fire Department to assist after the boat captain reported the vessel in distress at about 7:45 a.m., she said. The captain reported being unsure about whether a pump being used to remove water from the vessel would last.
A boat launched from Coast Guard Station Maui reached the vessel after the Fire Department's Air One helicopter went to the scene and directed the Coast Guard boat to the exact position of the vessel, Molle said.
The Outlets of Maui blessing is today
The Outlets of Maui will hold a blessing today at the mall formerly known as the Lahaina Center, with its major store openings scheduled over the next two weeks.
"The announcement for Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Lucky Brand, Calvin Klein, Izod and Crocs store openings are forthcoming with other globally recognized brands opening over the next two weeks," said The Outlets of Maui spokeswoman Mona Abadir on Wednesday.
A soft opening was anticipated for today, with not all stores open.
The Outlets of Maui grand opening celebration will be Dec. 6, with evening festivities from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

So after a number of months of work, the fate of N905NA has finally been made official. Numerous attempts to keep her flying were attempted. Her last flight was on December 18th 2012 and was a round trip from EFD that took about 1hr 28 mins.
She will be cut up and transported to JSC Visitor Center from her current location at the ramp of EFD. The engines and other useful parts will be shipped back to Palmdale via road for use in SOFIA. It is anticipated that she will be sectioned into 3 parts. Once at JSCVC, she will be put back together with the shuttle mockup formerly known as Explorer (came from the KSC visitor center). At the end of all of this (sometime in 2015), she will become an exhibit of the SCA+mockup.
Now that the news is official, I will be finishing Part IV of my series on the SCA.Stay tuned.
In the meantime, here is a link to Part III:

LEWISTOWN - One thing hasn't changed for Tish Maclay in the nearly two decade she's been winning titles and taking teams to states: Because they're from the west, they're not taken seriously.
District 3 dominates the sport; a few other eastern districts fall in line behind that district, which cuts a swath across south-central Pennsylvania from Harrisburg to Reading. The west accounts for less than 10 percent of the schools in the game, and often finds itself in the Rodney Dangerfield role - they don't get no respect.
It doesn't help, Maclay concedes, that her team needs one more win to hit .500, something she's pretty sure will give tonight's opponent, Twin Valley, reason to scoff as the PIAA Class AAA tournament opens at Memorial Field in State College. Game time is 6 p.m.

Sentinel photo by Steve Manuel
Mifflin County sophomore forward Marisa Byler jumps to avoid being hit by the ball during the District 6 Class AAA championship against State College. The Huskies, who beat the Little Lions and District 7 champ North Allegheny in a play-in game, return to State College tonight to play Twin Valley in the first round of the state tournament.
"Absolutely. Of course they are," she said. "But you can't dwell on the past, you can only try to get better each game and you want to be playing your best hockey at the end of the season. I think our team is playing our best hockey. That's all you can ask for."
Twin Valley, which was the fifth-place team in District 3, has plenty going for it. Start with Ashley Hoffman, a junior already committed to Division I North Carolina. She scored 31 of her team's 104 goals this year, and added 23 assists. It's in her genes - her coach and mother, Brenda Stauffer Hoffman, was a bronze medalist in the 1984 Olympics and was NCAA player of the year in her Penn State days.
"We don't know a ton about them because they're not a name we're familiar with. We just did a little bit of research on our own," Maclay said. "I know from the teams they played this season that they'ved played some good quality teams that we've seen in the state tournament before."
The Raiders (23-2) won their second straight Berks County League title with just one regular-season loss, 2-1 to defending state champ Lower Dauphin. They outshot Warwick 6-1 in the District 3 quarterfinals, but the lone Warwick shot was the only one that went into the goal, and Twin Valley had to play back to the state bracket - also for the second straight year.
"We've played teams that have really bad records and we've had really good records before and they beat us. I've been on both sides of it," Maclay noted. "I don't think you can use just a team's record as an indication of what they really are. We played North Allegheny and they had a much better record than what we did. We made the three and a half our trip there, we played on their home turf and we ended up winning."
The scoring of both teams has been an imbalance this season, and not one that will favor the Huskies. Twin Valley's scoring exceeds four goals per game; the Raiders have allowed just 11 - less than half a goal per game - all year. While Mifflin County has been tough on defense, the weak spot at times has been the ability to bury the ball.
"That's been our problem all year, is putting enough goals in the cage," Maclay admitted. "We have gotten better at it. I think one of the best things our girls have seen watching some of the video of the team that we're going to play, Twin Valley, is that they shoot the ball as soon as they get in the circle. Now they're seeing other teams doing it and it's been successful. Hopefully that has a bigger impact than our words do."
The improvement was shown in the district game, when Anne Harshbarger delivered a much-needed insurance goal that was most unexpected. She entered the circle, fired and got the ball in off the toe of State College's goalie.
"They play around with it too much," Maclay laments. "She got it at a right angle. It wasn't a hard shot, it was hard enough to deflect off the goalie and go in the cage."
Stopping the Raiders will require more than possession.
"This team's definitely tougher. This will probably be the toughest team we've seen all season," Maclay said. "They're a high-scoring team. They have a lot of weapons and we know that."
Again, the Huskies are the opposite: It's a no-name team where working together is the key to success.
"That's definitely a philosophy we like to take here," Maclay said. "It has to be a total team effort to knock off a team like that. It's going to take a lot of communicating, working together and trusting each other."

Tall and slender, with high cheekbones and dark, alluring eyes, Sandra Brown radiates all the glamor of the windswept heroines in the popular romance novels that were once her bread and butter. But now she's writing grittier books—suspenseful dramas with decidedly unromantic characters, like sadistic killers. "I think people are surprised when they meet me," she says in a demure southern drawl, "that I am such a straight, ladylike woman."
Ladylike, but by no means sedate. In the last 17 years, Brown has published no fewer than 60 novels, 36 of them bestsellers. Fifty million copies of her books are in print, in 30 languages. Her two latest, Unspeakable, a thriller set in East Texas, and Fat Tuesday, the tale of reptilian New Orleans defense attorney Pinkie Duvall, are current bestsellers.
That prodigious output has enabled the 50-year-old author to savor the kind of success most writers only dream about. She and her husband, Michael, 52, who heads his own video production company, recently built their dream house, a spectacular 15,000-square-foot, four-bedroom contemporary on 20 wooded acres in Arlington, Texas, near Fort Worth. She adores the tan-stucco homestead, which includes high-tech climate control and security systems, a 15-seat screening room and plenty of space out back for their prized pets: three longhorn steer. "When you're here, it's like being in the country," she says, pointing to several lace bark elms, imported from South Carolina and, at 10 tons apiece, put in place by a huge crane. Still, Brown says hers is not entirely a storybook existence, though she confesses, sipping coffee on the sofa in her barn-size den, "to someone on the outside looking in, it may appear that way."
Most days Brown dresses in jeans and sneakers before driving her 1997 black BMW 740 sedan to her office, where she labors at the computer for up to eight hours a day. Also on her mind is her mother, Martha, who died in early August. Diagnosed last year with a brain tumor, she had been living in a guest house on the Browns' property with round-the-clock nurses.
But Brown has learned to count her blessings. "I certainly have been enormously fortunate," she says. Happily married for 30 years, she totes Michael along on her book tours. Their son Ryan, 23, recently scored the role of Bill Lewis on the soap opera Guiding Light. And daughter Rachel, 25, until recently a marketing rep at Guess? jeans, is engaged to Ted Johnson, 25, a middle linebacker for football's New England Patriots who just signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension. The two first met when Brown invited Johnson to dinner after hearing he was a fan. "And I just—whoops!—happened to be here," jokes Rachel. "I always tease him and say he loved my mother first."
Then again, what's not to love? Back at Richland High School in Fort Worth, where she was a member of both the student council and the Dixie Belles dance team, Brown was voted most talented junior and senior. The eldest of five daughters born to Jimmie Cox, now 70, a former editorial writer for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and his wife, Martha, a counselor for emotionally disturbed children, Brown recalls devouring Nancy Drew mysteries as a young girl, and later, everything from Harold Robbins to Tennessee Williams. "In terms of mood and setting," says Brown, "he was my favorite." But her childhood dream was to be a professional dancer. "I wanted to be Juliet Prowse," she says. In 1967, she met Michael at a song-and-dance audition at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park during her summer break from Texas Christian University (she never graduated). They wed in 1968.
After Michael landed a job in 1975 as news anchor at the ABC affiliate in Dallas, Brown presented the weather part-time at the same station. But four years later, she was laid off. Left at home to care for their two small children, she grew restless. "I needed a creative outlet," she recalls. "But all the ladies in my neighborhood would play bridge—and that was not me."
Instead, Brown bribed her kids to leave her alone each morning by promising visits to the neighborhood park—and began writing her first romance novel, Love's Encore. By the time it was published in 1981, she had finished two more. Brown, who today employs a full groundskeeping staff as well as a uniformed maid, still marvels at her former self. "But when I was growing up," she recalls, "I always said, 'I'm going to have an unusual life'—I've always thought that."

Artwork featured at Legislature
Reno artist Lara Alberti is the latest to be featured at the Nevada Legislature in the Legislative Exhibition Series gallery in Carson City.
Open 8 a.m.-5 p.m. adjacent to the Caucus Deli, the LXS space displays Alberti's series "Time Frame" March 18 through April 5. Managed by the Artist Services Program of the Nevada Arts Council, the Legislative exhibition series has provided a spotlight on the Silver State's breadth of contemporary and folk artists during the biennial session since 1985.
Alberti uses antique clock cases as a device for artistic exploration. She focuses on timing and the devices used to orient people in the universe. The paradox of constant and fixed units of time in opposition to fluid and elastic personal sense of time is explored throughout her work.
"Each of our experiences is a measure of time. Playing chess, climbing a flight of stairs, watching a butterfly flit across the yard — all are events that could measure time in a very personal way," she said. "For example, the chess player may define the length of a day by the number of chess games that could be played or won."
Alberti said she finds these gauges of time — rather than minutes, hours, or days — much more descriptive and evocative when measuring life experience.
In exploring her expanding notions of time and space, Alberti found herself compressing these ideas into ever-smaller clock cases, which reminded her of dreaming. The clock cases ceased to be the housing for clock movements and became architecture for mirroring dreams. By reflecting architectural elements found on and in the clock cases, Alberti generates a new construct in which the thoughts and images of a lifetime converge.
Born in Wellesley, Mass., Alberti earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree Magna Cum Laude at the Maryland Institute College of Art. She has exhibited in Arizona at the West Valley Art Museum in Sun City and the Sedona Arts Center, and at the Nevada Art Museum in Reno.
Her work can be found in numerous collections including the Mayo Clinic, Scottsdale, Ariz.,; University of Nevada, Reynolds School of Journalism; and in private collections in the United States, Denmark, Italy and Switzerland.

Erie's GE plant could get W.A.R.N. notice today
Scott Duke, president of Local 506 of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, said Tuesday he still hadn't heard any details from GE Transportation about when layoffs might begin and who might be affected.
"My motto is, no news is good news," said Duke, who was holding out hope that new orders would prompt the company to delay plans to eliminate 950 union workers.
Unfortunately for Duke and the company's workforce, word from GE Transportation is expected to come today in the form of a Worker Adjustment and Training Notification, often called a W.A.R.N. notice, according to a source familiar with the company's plans.
Such notices, which are required to be filed in advance of large-scale layoffs, typically announce the number of expected layoffs and a timetable for when they will take place.
As of about 2 p.m. Tuesday, Duke was unaware of any forthcoming notice.
"They haven't told us," he said. "We are out here on an island, and we're not being told anything."
Asked about the company's plans Tuesday, GE Transportation spokeswoman Jennifer Erickson said only that layoffs could begin as early as October and continue for up to two years.
Those layoffs, first announced in April, became a foregone conclusion on June 22, when negotiators for the company and its union workers failed to agree on a compromise that might have saved some of the jobs that the company planned to cut.
Before learning about the W.A.R.N. notice Tuesday, Duke said a rush of new orders could prompt the company to reconsider.
During a visit to Chicago last week for a UE convention, Duke and the union's business agent, Wayne Burnett, hand-delivered petitions to Lorenzo Simonelli, chief executive of GE Transportation, after a UE protest outside the company's headquarters.
In a statement from Erickson, the company took exception to the tone of the protest.
"We don't agree with the Union's message today," she said in a statement. "We have always treated our employees fairly, dealt in good faith with our unions, and given back to the communities where we do business."
Inside the building, however, Duke described a 10- or 15-minute conversation with Simonelli as cordial.
Duke said both he and Burnett wished Simonelli well in his attempts to win locomotive orders.
"It's still business as usual," Duke said. "This is business. It's nothing personal."

The Massachusetts Port Authority said the Conley Terminal will be upgraded with an additional berth and three new cranes, while the Boston Harbor will be dredged to accommodate 12,000-TEU vessels.
The South Korean carrier said certain providers have been charging its customers more than what it would have charged to transport cargo and has tried to intervene, taking its concern up with the Federal Maritime Commission.
The Water Resources Development Act has mostly received bipartisan support, but Democrats in the House are upset that a provision that would have protected Harbor Maintenance Tax receipts from being diverted for other uses was removed from the final draft.

Altria Loses Appeal of New York City Flavored-Tobacco Ban (2/27/13)
| More |
New York City's ban on the sale of flavored smokeless tobacco products anywhere -- except in tobacco bars -- will stay in effect, thanks to a court ruling earlier today.
Altria Group Inc. had launched a bid to get the 2009 law reversed on the grounds the ordinance is pre-empted by federal law. However, in a decision handed down this morning, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York upheld a lower-level court ruling rejecting the arguments made by two Altria units -- U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Manufacturing and U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Brands, according to Bloomberg..

Conference April 8 - 10, 2010, Bochum
Deadline for submission of papers: November 15, 2009
Since the 1990s the concept of "human security" has been used increasingly in the debates on social and political theory as well as in practical international politics. Part of its appeal is due to the unusually wide extension of the term covering such diverse objects as classical international security politics, security problems arising from natural hazards and even threats of traffic accidents. In general, the concept is designed to replace the perspective of the so-called 'Westphalian System' in which sovereign state actors conduct international politics , and individual human beings are subject only to state authority which has to be respected by other states and international actors.
Advocates of the human security concept, not least the representatives of UN institutions, rely on a historical narrative in which the current widening of the notion of security is nothing new. Rather it is conceived of as the revival of older, pre-modern and pre-Westphalian concepts of security such as the scholastic concept of securitas, the security aims of all kinds of pre-modern 'Policey'-orders or the medieval and early modern concepts of risk management and security production by state and non-state actors. In this scheme, the era of the modern nation-state with its clear distinctions between domestic and foreign, private and state security appears as a historical exception.
At our conference we want to historicize the understanding of 'human security' by analyzing the variable and dialectic relations between people's fears and the production of 'security' in pre-modern and contemporary times. We hope to test and challenge the simple historical narrative of a correspondence between pre-modern and late modern concepts of security and to explore the complex and historically variable ways of producing security. Comparing the pre-modern and the contemporary world we do not want to reproduce the historical narrative of 'human security' uncritically: contributions on the 19th and early 20th centuries are welcome if they address the 'unclassic sides of classic modernity'. In general, we want to avoid the common dichotomy between a "modern" and a "post-modern" world which puts too much emphasis on the uniqueness of our time and instead focus on underlying similarities and structural problems of the production of security in the perspective of a "longue-durée". Thereby, we hope to assess the usefulness and productivity of "human security" as a concept of historical analysis.
We invite papers which address one or several of the following aspects of the production of human security in premodern and/or contemporary history:
1) Multiple Fears – Multiple Securities? Subjects, Types, Dimensions
While, in general, historical scholarship tends to concentrate either – as it has been fashionable in recent years – on "fear" or on "security," these concepts need to be conceived of as two sides of one coin. Which spaces, phenomena and actions were connected with which kinds of fear in pre-modern times and today: the sea, unknown places, insecure futures, disease, economic downfall, natural disasters? What were the corresponding types of security, how were they produced, what was their scope and, above all, to what extent did regimes of security trigger the fears that they were designed to overcome?
2) Conveyors of Security: States, Institutions, and Communities
Which different historical actors offered security for which groups of people? Shifting the analysis away from an overly state-centered view we want to ask what kinds of institutions and communities provided human security (the family, 'the church' in all its dimensions, guilds, private insurance companies, state based insurances or private security services)? How did these "producers of human security" compete with each other and convince their clients that they were able to guarantee their security?
3) Techniques and Technologies of Security
It is common to draw a sharp distinction between a present "risk-society" and pre-modern times by referring to the function of modern technology considered to be fundamentally new. However, the Janus-faced nature of technology producing simultaneously security and insecurity may also be found in history before the advent of the machine. In which ways did technological advancements create new fears and how were new technologies and techniques used in order to promise greater security in premodern as well as in contemporary history?
4) Security and Religious Cultures
Anthropologists remind us that the specific needs for different sorts of security vary over time and from group to group. What constitutes a "fear" or a "risk" and what is considered to be "security" for a certain group at a certain time need not be worth any consideration for another group at another time. With this basic premise in mind, we would like to analyze the reactions of different groups (religious, ethnic, cultural, etc.) toward comparable dangers, thereby elucidating the social constructions of past and present needs for security.
5) Relations between International and "inner" Security
The paradigm cases for the application of the concept of "human security" are humanitarian interventions in failed or failing states. Do these allow comparisons to pre-modern conflicts and interventions before the rise of the sovereign state? Moreover, the relation between domestic and international security pervades current debates about global terrorism and the alleged trade-off between freedom and security. How did various state and non-state actors treat and negotiate the relations between international threats and the productions of domestic security on the one hand and internal insecurities and the international production of security on the other?
6) Historicizing Sociologies and Anthropologies of Fear and Security
Sociologists, political scientists and anthropologists have developed various theories of fear and security. While these theories constitute important inspirations for historical research they should neither be read as factual descriptions nor be uncritically presupposed in the research process. Rather, they have to be historicized: Who theorized "fear" or "security" in which historical constellation with which specific interests?
Please submit an abstract of no more than one page outlining your talk plus a short CV to email@example.com by November 15, 2009.
A first draft of the whole paper (approx. 10 pages) should be submitted by March 15, 2010 for pre-circulation.
Accommodation will be provided and travel expenses at reasonable cost can be reimbursed.
The conference will be financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Projekt 'Risikozaehmung in der Vormoderne'.

Maurizio Pollini with Claudio Abbado and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Bartók was not only a pioneering composer and a masterful pianist (he was the soloist in the 1927 and 1933 debuts of these concertos) but also an impassioned musical scholar. Journeying through his native Hungary and the Balkans with a wax cylinder phonograph, he recorded hundreds of native songs and published numerous studies on the subject before his death in 1945. The folk tunes might have become mere pastoral adornments, but Bartók was able to utilize their primitive energy and mystery, as these two intricate concertos attest. The First is madly majestic, the Second diamond-bright. Ten years ago Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez recorded a more poetic version of the First. But with Abbado's assertive support and studio quality that invites a reckless twist of the volume knob, pianist Pollini, a onetime Italian prodigy now 38, creates a gleaming hi-tech wonder.

TALBOTT: The US Deputy Secretary of State Mr. Strobe Talbott has said Pakistan has taken no irrevocable decision as far as conducting a nuclear test is concerned.
He was talking to newsmen in Islamabad Friday night after his detailed separate meetings with the Prime Minister Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Chief of the Army Staff Gen. Jehangir Karamat and the Foreign Minister Mr. Gohar Ayub Khan.
He said the Prime Minister has assured that there is no time table for exploding a nuclear bomb and that his government would see whether international sanctions against India sustained or proved to be temporary.
Pakistan government wants the international community to sustain its pressure and sanctions against India.
Meanwhile, other US officials accompanying Mr. Talbott said that Mr. Nawaz Sharif is grappling with the great problem that has been created by the Indian blasts and the international community deeply shares his concern.
They denied that Pakistan has provided the United States any "wish-list" in return not to look after its security interests the way Islamabad wants.
PAK-CANADA: The Canadian Prime Minister Mr. Jean Chretjen has strongly condemned India for conducting nuclear explosions.
In a telephonic conversation with Prime Minister from Birmingham last evening where he is attending the G-8 summit. The Canadian Prime Minister said they sympathised with Pakistan at this hour as India has put Pakistan in a difficult position. He further said that India has not acted properly.
The Prime Minister Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif explained to him Pakistans position and said it will look after its national interests.
MUSHAHID: The Minister for Information Mr. Mushahid Hussain Syed has said the nuclear tests carried out by India, are not merely the tests but there is a particular BJP ideology behind it.
In an interview Friday evening, he recounted various threats given by the BJP as its election agenda including that of nuclear tests and attack on Azad Kashmir. He stressed that Pakistan is worried because it means the threat is not just to Pakistans integrity and solidarity but also to the peace, security and stability of the region.
The Information Minister said Pakistan always demonstrated restraint and its policies has always been peace loving. But the issue is that India has not demonstrated the same spirit.
PM LEADERS: The Prime Minister has decided to consult the leaders of national political parties on the situation arising out of the Indian nuclear tests.
The purpose of such consultations is to elicit their opinion in order to achieve a national consensus on the policy Pakistan should adopt to deal with the situation.
Cabinet Ministers have been assigned the responsibility to meet the political leaders individually. It has been the policy of the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif to take into confidence national political leaders on issues of vital national importance.
In this connection the Information Minister, Mr. Mushahid Hussain Sayed had a meeting with the Chairman of Pakistan National Conference, Retired Air Marshal Asghar Khan in Islamabad Friday evening.
NAWAZ: A high level American delegation led by Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott held talks with the Prime Minister, Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Gohar Ayub Khan on the situation arising out of nuclear tests by India.
Mr. Talbott also held 90 minute talks at the Foreign Office with the Foreign Minister and senior Foreign Office officials.
After the talks Mr. Talbott told newsmen he was satisfied with his talks. He said it is a difficult time and that was why the high level American delegation was in Pakistan.
PAK-FRANCE: Pakistan and France have held in-depth consultations on the regional security scenario specially in the aftermath of the Indian nuclear tests. The 2 sides also discussed Jammu and Kashmir dispute, matters pertaining to defence and security, and expansion in the UN Security Council.
The discussions took place in Islamabad Friday at the 6th round of annual bilateral consultations. Foreign Secretary, Mr. Shamshad Ahmed led the Pakistan delegation, while the French delegation was headed by Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bertrand Dufoureq.
The French delegation was informed that sanctions and condemnation of Indias nuclear tests had become totally irrelevant, after New Delhi achieved its ambitions to acquire nuclear weapon status.
PRESIDENT: President Muhammad Rafiq Tarar has said Pakistan is fully prepared to face any challenge as the entire nation is united.
He was talking to a delegation of editors Council Sargodha in Islamabad Friday.
The delegation apprised the President of the problems of the people particularly those belonging to print Media.
ANNIVERSARY: A week long programme to observe the 8th anniversary of the martyrdom of the prominent Kashmiri leader Mirwaiz Maulvi Muhammad Farooq began all over occupied Kashmir Friday. Addressing a big gathering in Budgam area marking the start of the programme his son and former Chairman of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference Mir Waiz Umer Farooq, said tension in South Asia cannot be reduced unless the Kashmir dispute is resolved.
PM-TALBOTT: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that Pakistans response to Indian nuclear tests will be determined by its security interests.
He was talking to newsmen at the Prime Minister House in Islamabad Friday night before talks with the American delegation led by Deputy Secretary of State Strobe Talbott.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan has the nuclear capability but it exercised restraint and did not explode a device for the last about 2 decades. He said we are a responsible nation and we are watching very carefully as to what attitude the whole world would take. He said we will see whether the world response was strong or light.
The Prime Minister regretted that he offered talks to India to resolve the outstanding issues but instead of finding peaceful solution of the problems India resorted to nuclear testing which is very disturbing for Pakistan. He said the international community must realise the security concerns of Pakistan and appreciate its view point.
Replying to a question the Prime Minister said Pakistan did not want any economic assistance and was not worried about sanctions as these were not new for it. In this connection he referred to Pakistan specific pressler amendment because of which economic and military assistance had been suspended. He hoped that the United States would review the pressler amendment.

The Jeff Healey Band
The stable of rock heavyweights playing along on Healey's second album suggests that the buzz the young blind guitarist created two years ago with See the Light is still going around. Mark Knopfler wrote one tune here, for instance, and George Harrison and Jeff Lynne lend guitar and vocal touches to a raucous version of Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
But this is still Healey's show, and while he gets tripped up by some clichéd song-writing, guitar disciples can look to Healey for inspiration and emotion. It's scary to think about how good he'll be in 10 years.
While he seems to be leaning toward a harder rock edge, Healey still derives much of his inspiration from the blues. On his own "I Can't Get My Hands on You," he eerily (perhaps intentionally) evokes Eric Clapton in his days with Cream. His solos swoop and soar like a seagull in flight and generate a breathless excitement. Healey adapts to Knopfler's style on "I Think I Love You Too Much," and their guitar weave near the end of the song shows two pros working with, not against, each other.
There are some shortcomings. Healey gets carried away at times by the distorted sound of his own guitar, ignoring the possibility of slowing things down and discovering more subtle phrasing. His voice remains limited to one range, which doesn't help the more pedestrian songs (such as the title track). But Healey will no doubt fine-tune his vocal style with time and experience. He's already a first-stringer among pop guitar players. (Arista)

HTC One (M8) and Nokia Lumia 930 tackle the Ice Bucket Challenge
0. phoneArena 23 Aug 2014, 23:14 posted on
Just the other day, the Samsung Galaxy S5 was drenched with ice water as part of the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS. At the same time, Samsung's flagship model challenged the HTC One (M8) and the Nokia Lumia 930 to take the challenge. But the Galaxy S5 has a big advantage here. That device has an IP 67 certification, meaning that it can withstand being submerged in up to 3.2 feet of water for as long as 30 minutes...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

They survived!!
44. Lt.Green (Posts: 397; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
Your move Sony!
75. Tekkasonic (Posts: 11; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
Umm... sony survived in the sea for 6 weeks... your move samsung, htc
50. sgodsell (Posts: 3632; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
He covered up the headphone jack holes with his finger. That is NOT fair at all. Sony's are already ip67. So it doesn't have to in my opinion.
51. BLUEBLASTER (Posts: 334; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)
Not true HTC One M8's headphone jack is at the bottom of the phone not the top.
2. Aboodbanafa (Posts: 27; Member since: 25 Apr 2014)
35. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Not so impressive as the guy is clearly covering the headphone jack socket on 930 and protecting the power button on M8. Watch how is finger is so strategically placed.
41. kent-gaga (Posts: 501; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
just so you know he did not do that on purpose
it's just how he hold the phone in the most comfortable way
43. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
and of course he told that to you in person ?
So the most comfortable way to hold m8 is putting your finger on the power button ?! Nyah....am not buying that.
You can still hold the phone pretty comfortable by placing your fingers just on the side.
60. kent-gaga (Posts: 501; Member since: 10 Apr 2012)
Yes he told me in person because i'm his co-worker :p
You can check out my bts footage of this video @xperiagaga on instagram if you dont believe me
I dont know if the phone could survive the water test (which , according to a video that someone's been sharing, it could) but he did not do that on purpose
Please stop accusing people when you dont even know half of the truth
42. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)
But the power button on the M8 is not in the middle. It's more to the side.
Edit: ok in the first part he covers the button, but not in the second.
48. JC557 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Samsung's fanboys are becoming annoying, quite worse than apple's. The M8 has been through water torture before with not so much an issue. Granted it was shallow but at least splash damage won't harm it.
The Nokia on the other hand does surprise me.
55. GalaxyS5 (banned) (Posts: 430; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)
this site is full to the teeth with nokia fans. nokia-turned-sony and nokia-turned htc and nokia-turned-cheapchinese fans. I have no problems with htc and sony fans as I love these brands, you've got to respect other people's opinions too, if you don't like samsung don't go nuts about it and say fans are everywhere and annoying, and about apple fans? two or three at a maximum here and on most tech sites.
70. JC557 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
If you've been visiting the site for the past year or so you'll see the garbage that these samsung fanatics/ staunch defenders spew about other brands. Apple fans have grown up for the most part (save for a few trolls here & there).
72. GalaxyS5 (banned) (Posts: 430; Member since: 05 Aug 2014)
lol no bro, apple fans don't bother searching or reading, generally are women and if not are "uneducated" in the field of smartphones. you gotta see the video of how they stuck an apple logo on a 20$ casio watch and told people it's the apple smartwatch and how they started praising it you'll laugh uncontrollably
52. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
This guy is so right! If he didn't have the finger on the M8's power button it would have died!!!!
Do your research.
54. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Now hold on there buddy no need to wet your pants. I didn't say m8 wouldn't survive otherwise i merely said this particular experiment is flawed and cannot be trusted entirely.
Also, i already knew about the video link you posted. But if you use some common sense you'd realise that submerging the phone in water is not the same thing as POURING FREEZING WATER WITH ICE CUBES. Also pouring water has much more force then merely putting the phone under water.
57. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Sure "buddy".
Did you skip this too? "The HTC One (M8) has an IPx3 certification. That means it offers no protection from dust, but does offer protection from water sprayed up to 60 degrees at 10l per minute, pressure of 80-100kN/m2 for up to 5 minutes."
Are you going to tell me that this shouldn't be enough to withstand water pouring on it?
64. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
LOL. Of course ! Because water spraying and water pouring is not the same thing as water pressure is all that matters. Especially when the water poured has ice cubes and is freezing.
Also, stop posting wrong info to prove your point. Its not '10l per minute' its 0.7l per minute, which is extremely slow. In short, that certification only means it will probably survive under mild rain but nothing more. Also, we can clearly see in the video, the guy poured almost a litre of water in a matter of seconds
P_Code#Liquid_ingress_protecti on
Go home. You're embarrassing yourself.
69. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Okay then, sorry. This is what i get from even remotely trusting PhoneArena and their questionable info, i didn't search IP certification and that quote was from the article, which is wrong too then. Sorry for spreading false information and have a good day.
71. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
np. I learned that lesson a while ago. It takes a bigger man to admit his mistake tho.
59. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Nah, if you observe he even moved his finger on the middle of the m8(above the duo camera) on the next few secs
3. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
lol, nice job from CellphoneS, beating both HTC and Nokia (or Microsoft?) at that. xD
4. theguy2345 (Posts: 1216; Member since: 24 Jun 2014)
Why did they give away the ending? I really wanted to see what happened. But they ruined it. But the phones did a good job surviving the drench.
5. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
And here is 5S one.
6. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
Samsung isn't so happy about all these... :3
9. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
And imo the Samsung video is actually the worst (especially with the super-awkward S-Voice talking).
10. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
yeah I hate Samsung's default TTS. It sounds so horrible. It bugs me so much when I use navigation.
One of my first things to do on a Galaxy: switch to Google's TTS.
67. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 2890; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)
lol I did laugh at the last sentence... I challenge Samsung's design team... If they have one...
7. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Lol Samsung they survived. Back to square one for the marketing department!
18. hassoups (Posts: 473; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
...with the headphone jack covered by his hand
27. rizevnarastek (Posts: 347; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
The HTC One_M8 has the headphone port on the bottom side adjacent to the USB port.
46. JC557 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
So you come here spout crap and failed to read any of the previous stories about the HTC One M8 and M7 can survive dunks in water with the M8 for a prolonged period.
I'm surprised about the Nokia though but they've always built tough phones.
8. naittosan (Posts: 234; Member since: 28 Jun 2014)
Anyone beside me getting tired of this ice bucket crap.
30. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
no the asl organisation has raised 15million dollars compared 50k last year when i checked a while back so it has some sort of effect but samsung taking for the sake of advertising is slightly wrong but yeah it supports a cause !
45. uzimafioso (Posts: 317; Member since: 15 Jul 2014)
And people have wasted more than $18 million worth of water. It is a precious resource... Water and just imagine how much energy wasted on making that ice which you dunk upon yourself... The challenge included the donation part and people don't donate that much...
47. naittosan (Posts: 234; Member since: 28 Jun 2014)
Well I'd be more impressed if they would catch bullets with their teeth.
53. magnanimus (Posts: 541; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
Lol. Let's all go through the stress of closing down all water parks and pools plus put a ban on long shower times since this natural resource is too scarce to waste and suddenly people care about water when a good deed is being done
62. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
If folks do it over grass then the water will benefit the grass. But since a lot of the western US is in drought conditions it does seem wasteful, plus the original intent was to either offer money or get iced, IIRC, though I haven't been paying attention.
63. Nobodey (Posts: 75; Member since: 03 Jan 2010)
"Wasted more than 18 million worth of water...". How much do you think water costs?
68. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
$5 a litter.
$20 a gallon.
65. Pattyface (Posts: 1612; Member since: 20 Aug 2014)
You clearly missed the point then. It's called awareness you insensitive human. Have you looked at the amount raised so far versus last year? Think before you talk. People like you piss me off
73. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
I mean you pay for this water and ice so technically you're paying for you're wasting you're allowed to waste what you pay for that's one and two idc if people don't donate the fact that last year they didn't even make a million and now they're making a couple of million says something
11. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
They survived! Hell yea! Samsung must be crying right now.
12. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
lol and that's a lot of water compared to what s5 used on their challenge. So samsung who you challenge now?lmao
14. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Xperia Z2 lol? It will definitely survive the challenge like a boss.
15. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Lol for sure samsung will nit challenge that beast.haha
13. D.Lamore (Posts: 198; Member since: 15 Aug 2014)
i fans butt hurt over this stunt by samsung , the message was simple , galaxy s5 is water proof and iphone isn't . A rat can't be out in the rain with a lizard and expect their bodies to respond equally. You will be taking a risk if you do that with your iphone. You will equally void your warranty ,so u are on your own
16. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
The message is sjmple..Samsung started this...and all those phones they challenge accepted the challenge and they survive even if this phones are not waterproof/water resistant...
66. Pattyface (Posts: 1612; Member since: 20 Aug 2014)
Actually the s5 isn't water proof but resistant.
17. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
so i'm I the only one who noticed how he covered the headphone sockets at the top?
19. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Maybe ur the only one..because m8's headphone socket is in the bottom of the phone
21. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
and the lumia?
22. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
U said sockets?
23. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
and whats that big hole at the top of the lumia called?
24. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Do i have to teach you how to use the plural form of socket?On the video about only one phone got a headphone jack on the top of the phone and yet u used the word sockets which means u assumed that also the m8 headphone jack possitioned on the top.
28. Jason2k13 (Posts: 1214; Member since: 28 Mar 2013)
oh please explain to me the plural form of socket? i just don't understand why i added the 'S' when i'm clearly talking about both phones.
And I did assume the m8's headphone was at the top cause i didnt bother doing my research, but your just being a smart ass about it.
Do you even know why I'm also adding the Lumia in this conversation? Yet your only talking about the M8? use your brain to figure that out.
31. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
lol relax dude relax.haha

Jeanne Giampola was an orphaned child.
"I know what it feels like to wake up on Christmas morning with nothing," she says.
For the last 23 years, the affable, lovable, caring Giampola has chaired the Paulsboro/Gibbstown Christmas Project Committee of Ten which has ably assisted local families at the holidays.
But with Christmas just 20 days away, Giampola needs reassurance from her dependable band of elves that they're still on board for 2011. She needs their help.
"We believe that every child should be able to awake on Christmas with hope and anticipation," Giampola says. "We also believe that Christmas is a time for sharing and giving and we who are able have an obligation to assist in making their hope a reality."
Giampola recalls that her gathering of Santa's helpers "started out small" when her son Alfonso Giampola and friends like future (and current) Freeholder Director Bob Damminger filled the Giampola homestead to watch televised Sunday football games and eat her Italian food. They'd compare notes about local families in Paulsboro, Gibbstown and nearby towns that might need a boost during the holidays.
Paulsboro resident Anthony Pavone was the group's first Santa (Mike Liccardello today). And a committee was formed to help make the project a reality.
"Our program has always been for the working poor and senior citizens," Giampola says. "The concept was that we'd supply food for families for a month and with donated funds they could buy a present for their children that would be placed under their Christmas tree."
The committee still provides food for a month for the working poor and one gift and a visit from Santa for seniors.
In 2010, the committee assisted 120 families, its 12th straight year of helping 100 or more. Although there are no records, Giampola believes the total number of families assisted in 23 years may be close to 2,000.
Former Paulsboro Superintendent of Schools Walter Quint and his family accounted for the nutritional needs of 25 other families for a month, continuing the generous Quints' long-standing practice.
"We don't keep track of the number we assist but it makes us feel so good," Giampola says. "I've tried to stay in the background since the first senior citizen we helped wound up crying – and I cried too."
Giampola has a commitment from Paulsboro Postal Employees and the Paulsboro High School honor societies to again solicit residents for non-perishables.
But Jeanne thinks she may have hit a roadblock for money collected this year due to the economic climate or because she sent her mailer too soon – in mid-November. As of last week she hadn't heard from any of the traditionally generous contributors as individuals, businesses and companies.
"We're hoping they'll be our partners again this year," she says.
A total of $3,416.25 was collected last year for food, none so far this year.
Besides Jeanne, The Committee of 10 includes her son Al, daughter-in-law Paula, grandkids Brittany and Fonze, Hattie Paige, Richard Gatewood, former mayor Jim Sabetta, Mayor and Assemblyman John Burzichelli and Freeholder Director Damminger. Giampola retired in 2010 after long tenure as Damminger's administrative assistant. They once served together on Paulsboro council.
"My family knows you must give back and it makes me so proud they do," Jeanne says. "This makes my Christmas, too."

That can actually be a normal response to being low carb successfully for that long and resolving some of the insulin resistance that you had from being overweight. Something about adrenal hormone exhaustion. It doesn't tend to happen as noticeably if at all to people who don't have to lose weight but for people dropping lots of weight adding some more non fruit non grain carbs in can help stimulate the metabolism and aren't going to be as problematic because you are less insulin resistant.

Crossing the Borderby Joyce Carol Oates
15 short stories by one of literature's shining lights.
Dear Husbandby Joyce Carol Oates
A gripping and moving new collection of stories by Joyce Carol Oates, which reimagines the meaning of family--by unexpected, often startling meansWith the unflinching candor and sympathy for which Joyce Carol Oates is celebrated, these fourteen stories examine the intimate lives of contemporary American families: the tangled ties between generations, the desperation--and the covert, radiant happiness--of loving more than one is loved in return. In "Cutty Sark" and "Landfill," the bond between adolescent son and mother reverberates with the force of an unspoken passion, bringing unexpected consequences for the son. In "A Princeton Idyll," a woman is forced to realize, decades later, her childhood role in the destruction of a famous, beloved grandfather's life. In "Magda Maria," a man tries to break free of the enthralling and dangerous erotic obsession of his life. In the gripping title story, Oates boldly reimagines the true-crime story of Andrea Yates, the Texas mother who drowned her children in 2001. Several stories--"Suicide by Fitness Center," "The Glazers," and "Dear Joyce Carol,"--take a less tragic turn, exploring with mordant humor the shadowy interstices between self-awareness and delusion.Dramatic, intensely rendered, and always provocative, Dear Husband, provides an unsettling and fascinating look into the mysterious heart of America.
The Ecco Anthology of Contemporary American Short Fiction, First Editionby Joyce Carol Oates Christopher R. Beha
The book is a collection of the very best short stories by contemporary American masters.
Expensive Peopleby Joyce Carol Oates Elaine Showalter
Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkable novels that explore social class in America and the inner lives of young Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative and suspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America's affluent suburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession is narrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who sees himself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding around him. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbed parents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisively analyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious private schooling, his "successful-executive" father, and his elusive mother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-old Richard strikes out in a way that presages the violence of ever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come.A National Book Award finalist, Expensive People is a stunning combination of social satire and gothic horror. "You cannot put this novel away after you have opened it," said The Detroit News. "This is that kind of book-hypnotic, fascinating, and electrifying."Expensive People is the second novel in the Wonderland Quartet. The books that complete this acclaimed series, A Garden of Earthly Delights, them, and Wonderland, are also available from the Modern Library.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Fabulous Beastsby Joyce Carol Oates
This collection of fifty-two poems from the author of Angel Fire and Anonymous Sins explores the annihilation of the time-bound ego, a liberating, sometimes terrifying experience for all who live within the 'fabulous beast' of history and nature. The poems explore the shifting, elusive point at which the inwardness of individual experience touches upon the larger consciousness of a species or an era, forming a connection with a 'self' that goes beyond subjectivity.
A Fair Maidenby Joyce Carol Oates
An Otto Penzler Book Sixteen-year-old Katya Spivak is walking with her two summer babysitting charges in Bayhead Harbor, New Jersey, when she's approached by silver-haired courtly Marcus Kidder-a local resident of some renown. At first his interest in Katya seems innocent, even as Katya's interest in him seems precociously manipulative. His lovely oceanside home, the children's books he has written, his classical music, and his lavish presents to her-Mr. Kidder's life contrasts starkly with Katya's working-class-and marginally criminal-family background. By almost imperceptible degrees, the relationship between Katya and the gentlemanly Marcus Kidder changes, and posing for him isn't the romantic endeavor it had seemed. What does this mysterious rich man really want from Katya, who is young enough to be his granddaughter? And what will he risk to get it?In the tradition of Oates's classic novella Beasts, A Fair Maiden is an unsettling, ambiguous tale of mounting suspense and gradually unfolding horror.
The Faith of a Writerby Joyce Carol Oates
A tribute to the brilliant craftsmanship of one of our most distinguished writers, providing valuable insight into her inspiration and her method Joyce Carol Oates is widely regarded as one of America's greatest contemporary literary figures. Having written in a number of genres -- prose, poetry, personal and critical essays, as well as plays -- she is an artist ideally suited to answer essential questions about what makes a story striking, a novel come alive, a writer an artist as well as a craftsman. In The Faith of a Writer, Oates discusses the subjects most important to the narrative craft, touching on topics such as inspiration, memory, self-criticism, and "the unique power of the unconscious." On a more personal note, she speaks of childhood inspirations, offers advice to young writers, and discusses the wildly varying states of mind of a writer at work. Oates also pays homage to those she calls her "significant predecessors" and discusses the importance of reading in the life of a writer. Oates claims, "Inspiration and energy and even genius are rarely enough to make 'art': for prose fiction is also a craft, and craft must be learned, whether by accident or design." In fourteen succinct chapters, The Faith of a Writer provides valuable lessons on how language, ideas, and experience are assembled to create art.

Faithless: Tales of Transgressionby Joyce Carol Oates
In this collection of twenty-one unforgettable stories, Joyce Carol Oates explores the mysterious private lives of men and women with vivid, unsparing precision and sympathy. By turns interlocutor and interpreter, magician and realist, she dissects the psyches of ordinary people and their potential for good and evil with chilling understatement and lasting power.
The Fallsby Joyce Carol Oates
It is 1950 and, after a disastrous honeymoon night, Ariah Erskine's young husband throws himself into the roaring waters of Niagara Falls. Ariah, "the Widow Bride of the Falls," begins a relentless seven-day vigil in the mist, waiting for his body to be found. At her side is confirmed bachelor and pillar of the community Dirk Burnaby, who is unexpectedly drawn to her. What follows is a passionate love affair, marriage, and family -- a seemingly perfect existence. But tragedy soon takes over their lives, poisoning their halcyon years with distrust, greed, and murder. Set against the mythic-historic backdrop of Niagara Falls in the mid-twentieth century, this haunting exploration of the American family in crisis is a stunning achievement from "one of the great artistic forces of our time" (The Nation).This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

Freaky Green Eyesby Joyce Carol Oates
"Later, I would think of it as crossing over. From a known territory into an unknown. From a place where people know you to a place where people only think they know you." Sometimes Franky Pierson has a hard time dealing with life. Like when her parents separate and her mother vanishes, Franky wants to believe that her mom has simply pulled a disappearing act. Yet deep within herself, a secret part of her she calls Freaky Green Eyes knows that something is terribly wrong. And only Freaky can open Franky's eyes to the truth.
Freaky Green Eyesby Joyce Carol Oates
Later, I would think of it as crossing over. From a known territory into an unknown. From a place where people know you to a place where people only think they know you. It began with me a year ago this past July. A few weeks after my fourteenth birthday. When Freaky Green Eyes came into my heart. When her parents separate, Franky Pierson has no trouble deciding whose side she's on. After all, her mother is the one who chose to leave. And when her mother is suddenly reported missing, Franky believes she's simply pulled a disappearing act and deserted their family for good. But a part of Franky, a part she calls Freaky Green Eyes, knows that something is wrong. And it's up to Freaky to open Franky's eyes to the truth.
A Garden of Earthly Delightsby Joyce Carol Oates
Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkable novels that explore social class in America and the inner lives of young Americans. InA Garden of Earthly Delights, Oates presents one of her most memorable heroines, Clara Walpole, the beautiful daughter of Kentucky-born migrant farmworkers. Desperate to rise above her haphazard existence of violence and poverty, determined not to repeat her mother's life, Clara struggles for independence by way of her relationships with four very different men: her father, a family man turned itinerant laborer, smoldering with resentment; the mysterious Lowry, who rescues Clara as a teenager and offers her the possibility of love; Revere, a wealthy landowner who provides Clara with stability; and Swan, Clara's son, who bears the psychological and spiritual burden of his mother's ambition. A masterly work from a writer with "the uncanny ability to give us a cinemascopic vision of her America" (National Review),A Garden of Earthly Delightsis the opening stanza in what would become one of the most powerful and engrossing story arcs in literature. A Garden of Earthly Delightsis the first novel in the Wonderland Quartet. The books that complete this acclaimed series,Expensive People,them,andWonderland, are also available from the Modern Library.
Give Me Your Heartby Joyce Carol Oates
An Otto Penzler Book The need for love--obsessive, self-destructive, unpredictable--takes us to forbidden places, as in the chilling world of Give Me Your Heart, a new collection of stories by the inimitable Joyce Carol Oates. In the suspenseful "Strip Poker," a reckless adolescent girl must find a way of turning the tables on a gathering of increasingly threatening young men--Can she "outplay" them? In the award-winning "Smother!" a young woman's nightmare memory of childhood brings trouble on her professor-mother--Which of them will "win"? In "Split/Brain" a woman who has blundered into a lethal situation confronts the possibility of saving herself--Will she take it? In "The First Husband," a jealous man discovers that his wife seems to have lied about her first marriage, and exacts a cruel revenge, years after the fact. In these and other powerful tales, children veer beyond their parents' control, wives and husbands wake up to find that they hardly know each other, haunted pasts intrude upon uncertain futures, and those who bring us the most harm may be the nearest at hand. In ten razor-sharp stories, National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Oates shows that the most deadly mysteries often begin at home.
The Gravedigger's Daughterby Joyce Carol Oates
Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1936, the Schwarts immigrate to a small town in upstate New York. Here the father--a former high school teacher--is demeaned by the only job he can get: gravedigger and cemetery caretaker. When local prejudice and the family's own emotional frailty give rise to an unthinkable tragedy, the gravedigger's daughter, Rebecca heads out into America. Embarking upon an extraordinary odyssey of erotic risk and ingenious self-invention, she seeks renewal, redemption, and peace--on the road to a bittersweet and distinctly "American" triumph.
Heart of Darkness and The Secret Sharer (Centennial Edition)by Joseph Conrad Joyce Carol Oates Vince Passaro
Two of Conrad's BEST-KNOWN works--in a single volume In this pair of literary voyages into the inner self, Joseph Conrad has written two of the most chilling, disturbing, and noteworthy pieces of fiction of the twentieth century.
Heat and Other Storiesby Joyce Carol Oates
Poet, novelist, critic, and the winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for lifetime achievement in the short story as an art form, Joyce Carol Oates in this collection offers readers 25 rich, hard-edged stories stamped with her inimitable touch: tales of violence ... or uncertainty ... or with the macabre running like lifeblood through them. In the O. Henry Award-winning title story, Heat, young twin sisters are murdered, and both they and their killer are remembered by a woman who was their contemporary and, in a way, a victim as well. ... In Leila Lee, a young woman who marries an older man tries to develop a relationship with her husband's angry teenage son. ... In House Hunting, a husband perplexed by his disintegrating marriage goes house- hunting without his wife, and embarks on a quest--not only for a house, but for his future. From small towns to big cities, from the working class to the upper class, there is scarcely an aspect of the American experience that Joyce Carol Oates has not magically made her own. Her stories shock, provoke, and astound us with their commentary on the human condition.
High Lonesomeby Joyce Carol Oates
No other writer can match the impressive oeuvre of Joyce Carol Oates. High Lonesome: New and Selected Stories 1966-2006 gathers short fiction from the acclaimed author's seminal collections and includes eleven new tales that further demonstrate the breathtaking artistry and striking originality of an incomparable talent who "has imbued the American short story with an edgy vitality and raw social surfaces" (Chicago Tribune).
I Am No One You Knowby Joyce Carol Oates
I Am No One You Know contains nineteen startling stories that bear witness to the remarkably varied lives of Americans of our time. In "Fire," a troubled young wife discovers a rare, radiant happiness in an adulterous relationship. In "Curly Red," a girl makes a decision to reveal a family secret, and changes her life irrevocably. In "The Girl with the Blackened Eye," selected for The Best American Mystery Stories 2001, a girl pushed to an even greater extreme of courage and desperation manages to survive her abduction by a serial killer. And in "Three Girls," two adventuresome NYU undergraduates seal their secret love by following, and protecting, Marilyn Monroe in disguise at Strand Used Books on a snowy evening in 1956. These vividly rendered portraits of women, men, and children testify to Oates's compassion for the mysterious and luminous resources of the human spirit.
I Lock My Door upon Myselfby Joyce Carol Oates
In turn-of-the-century, upstate New York, a strange, beautiful child who wanders the countryside like a sleepwalker is married off to a coarse, much older farmer. Bitter and increasingly estranged, she falls in love with a tall, black, itinerant water diviner. When the doomed affair ends tragically, she withdraws completely.
I'll Take You Thereby Joyce Carol Oates
"Anellia" is a young student who, though gifted with a penetrating intelligence, is drastically inclined to obsession. Funny, mordant, and compulsive, she falls passionately in love with a brilliant yet elusive black philosophy student. But she is tested most severely by a figure out of her past she'd long believed dead.Astonishingly intimate and unsparing, and pitiless in exposing the follies of the time, I'll Take You There is a dramatic revelation of the risks--and curious rewards--of the obsessive personality as well as a testament to the stubborn strength of a certain type of contemporary female intellectual.
In Rough Countryby Joyce Carol Oates
In twenty-nine provocative essays, Joyce Carol Oates maps the "rough country" that is both the treacherous geographical and psychological terrain of the writers she so cogently analyzes--Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, E. L. Doctorow, and Margaret Atwood, among others--and the emotional terrain of Oates's own life following the unexpected death of her husband, Raymond Smith, after forty-eight years of marriage. "As literature is a traditional solace to the bereft, so writing about literature can be a solace, as it was to me when the effort of writing fiction seemed beyond me, as if belonging to another lifetime," Oates writes. "Reading and taking notes, especially late at night when I can't sleep, has been the solace, for me, that saying the Rosary or reading The Book of Common Prayer might be for another." The results of those meditations are the essays of In Rough Country--balanced and illuminating investigations that demonstrate an artist working at the top of her form.
The Journal of Joyce Carol Oates, 1973-1982by Joyce Carol Oates
The Journal of Joyce Carol Oates, edited by Greg Johnson, offers a rare glimpse into the private thoughts of this extraordinary writer, focusing on excerpts written during one of the most productive decades of Oates's long career. Far more than just a daily account of a writer's writing life, these intimate, unrevised pages candidly explore her friendship with other writers, including John Updike, Donald Barthelme, Susan Sontag, Gail Godwin, and Philip Roth. It presents a fascinating portrait of the artist as a young woman, fully engaged with her world and her culture, on her way to becoming one of the most respected, honored, discussed, and controversial figures in American letters.

I thing you might want mozplugger (which can use xine, which is used also

There's also mplayerplugin, but I've never used it.
Otherwise there's always the Media Player Connectivity Firefox extension

Number Symbol
Adolf Hitler
The first letter of the alphabet is A; the eighth letter of the alphabet is H. Thus, 1 plus 8, or 18, equals AH, an abbreviation for Adolf Hitler. Neo-Nazis use 18 in tattoos. The number is also used by Combat 18, a violent British neo-Nazi group that chose its name in honor of Adolf Hitler.

Charleston County deputies arrested two teens accused of causing a disruption as they investigated reports of students smoking weed on a school bus.
Errol Chisolm Jr., 17, of Dorchester Road, and Rashawn Bradley, 17, of Houston Street, were charged with interference with the operation of a school bus in connection with the incident, Sheriff's Maj. Jim Brady said.
Deputies responded to the area of 1604 Sam Rittenberg Boulevard after a bus driver reported that two students were smoking marijuana, Brady said.
The bus driver directed deputies to the back of the bus, where the incident occurred.
Deputies attempted to speak with Errol Chisolm Jr., 17, of Dorchester Road, but they said the teen became agitated when questioned.
Chisolm began yelling and cursing at deputies, prompting other students to join in on what Brady said was becoming a hostile environment.
Chisolom resisted as deputies escorted him off of the bus, Brady said.
The bus driver yelled for deputies to come back on the bus when a second student, Rashawn Bradley, 17, of Houston Street, also caused a disturbance, Brady said.
Deputies searched the bus, but Brady said no drugs were found. The investigation is ongoing, he said.
Both students were held at the Charleston County jail on Tuesday pending a bond hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. today, Brady said.

Re: Previous post -- Actually - despite fact I recalled after clicking 'Add Comment' that I did not want to be in that account, and logged out of Geni and into this account, apparently I forgot to log out of Help, so when I then went to Help, they did from wrong account. And Help does not have a delete, so very annoying. Ignore reference there to "other account". The rest is definitely true. I try to use this one in Help because Help hard-types the display name (which is then viewable to everyone, Geni-user and not, and searchable, as well).
Re: "Documents page is now sorted by most recently updated by default" - I do not see any mention of it being sorted by when it was "updated" - did you mean "most recently uploaded"??
Documents used to be sorted with first uploaded first -- I have been slowly going thru those in my other account, making a variety of notes, including checking for those without tags -- now everything is on totally different pages - and what page the document is on will continue to change as I add documents. I am sure Descending was introduced for a reason, but some of us prefer it the way it was. Others might prefer it one way sometimes, the other way at other times. PLEASE - give the option to sort ASCENDING AND DESCENDING - don't lock it in to just descending.
