Right at this moment, more than two-thirds of all airport construction in the world is happening in China.
The country is in the first full year of a five-year plan to eventually make China the center of global aviation, and the Chinese government is pumping a quarter-trillion dollars into the project.
"From the American perspective, the whole idea of five-year plans is preposterous," says James Fallows, author of a new book about China's aviation boom, called China Airborne. "If you think five-year plan, you think Soviet Union, you think economic failure."
The new plan is hugely ambitious and not at all certain to succeed, he tells NPR's Guy Raz, but it's a window into whether China's overall economic strategy is actually the model for the 21st century or a cautionary tale.
"Part of the genius of the Chinese economic boom over the last couple of decades," Fallows says, "is they have combined this large-scale government direction, which actually is important there, with this whole infinity of private, uncontrolled, very entrepreneurial activity."
He says China's leaders feel that if the country is ever to attain real prosperity, it needs to succeed in areas like pharmaceuticals, information technology and aerospace. "And that's what this next push is all about," he says.
Fallows adds that the new five-year plan is directly aimed at raising the profile of Chinese companies abroad. While corporations like GE, Sony and Hyundai have massive international brand awareness, Chinese companies are generally unknown outside their own borders, even though they contribute to the success of the multinationals.
The people behind the current plan — the 12th such five-year plan in China's history — recognize that they face a different set of challenges now than they have in the past.
"The last 30 years have been a miracle for China in alleviating poverty; in getting people off some of these very, very difficult farms, where their cash income might be a hundred dollars a year, to an urban factory life where there are many other signs of material progress," Fallows says. "But taking the next step may be significantly harder."
So why the focus on aerospace, rather than something like roads or infrastructure? Fallows says it's actually not an either-or question in China, as its massive aerospace projects are accompanied by equally massive road and rail-building efforts.
"It's all ahead on all fronts, because they have both the needs and the resources," he says.
But, he says, the Chinese are specifically focusing on aviation in order to meet a growing domestic demand for travel. "And also, because they think that if the country can become not just a consumer and purchaser of Boeing airplanes and Airbus airplanes, and Gulfstreams, and Cessna business jets and all the rest, but if they can take part of the international business of providing those things, then that will signify a real level of maturity for the economy."
Fallows points out that aerospace is the U.S.'s biggest export sector, something the Chinese have taken note of. "They're buying lots of things now," he says, "but they're hoping this is an area where they could succeed."
And if they are to succeed, Fallows says. there's a hard transition ahead for China. "If you're going to have advanced research centers, if you're going to have sort of high-end coordinated international engineering, you need to have the sort of soft attributes of a successful liberal society that will draw first-rate talent from around the world," he warns.
That means China may have to give up some of its internal controls in exchange for full-fledged sophistication and wealth, he says. China's aviation history is entirely military, as opposed to the mix of military, commercial and hobbyist activity in the U.S.
"Everything about flying within China is subject to military control and whim," Fallows says. Military controllers often hold up departures, routes are indirect in order to dodge military airspace, and cruising altitude is sometimes restricted to a fuel-inefficient 10,000 feet.
"It's equivalent to having to drive on a freeway in first gear. It just is a terrible way to run airliners," he says.
Chinese business interests are fully in favor of a more efficient, businesslike system, but Fallows says the military continues to stand in the way.
"The reason this matters is it's a little distillation of the struggle for China in general. Almost everything about China's next step of the economic and cultural and technological ladder requires some relaxation of government control, some military control, he says. "The question is, how that balance will be struck."
"That's the difficulty," he continues. "If China succeeds in this, it will in a way be more threatening to American competitors, but it will be better. There'll be a different kind of more modern China, in the fullest sense."
And if you're just joining us, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
Right at this moment, more than two-thirds of all airport construction in the world is happening in China. The government there is pumping a quarter of a trillion dollars into this hugely ambitious project. It's part of a five-year plan to turn China into the center of global aviation, and it's a window into that country's overall economic strategy.
James Fallows has written a new book about the plan. It's called "China Airborne." And regular listeners to this program know Jim as a familiar voice most Saturdays. We caught up with him yesterday during a visit to the West Coast.
JAMES FALLOWS: I am in Seattle and delighted to talk to you from here.
RAZ: Well, it's great to have you. Let's talk about the five-year plans first because this aviation plan is part of the 12th five-year plan in modern Chinese history. Basically, every five years, the government takes a big idea and throws everything it's got at that idea.
FALLOWS: Yes. And from the American perspective, the whole idea of five-year plans sounds preposterous and was associated...
RAZ: Stalinist almost, right?
FALLOWS: Yeah. And if you think five-year plan, you think Soviet Union, you think economic failure. And part of the genius of the Chinese economic boom over the last couple of decades is that they have combined this large-scale government direction, which actually is important there, with this whole infinity of private, uncontrolled very entrepreneurial activity. And in the one they're starting right now, I think the sense of the leadership is they've gone about as far as they can with this low-wage factory construction-infrastructure model.
And if China is ever to become a richer country as opposed to just a bigger version of a poor country, they need to succeed in industries like pharmaceuticals and info tech and aerospace. And that's what this next push is all about.
RAZ: You said something interesting in the conversation that we had on the program a couple of weeks ago, which was you asked me to name a famous Chinese company, which I couldn't. And the point you were making was that it's almost impossible to do that because famous companies build things in China, but China doesn't actually have many well-known companies. How much of this latest five-year plan is really about changing that?
FALLOWS: I think it is directly about changing that. The reason that it matters that we've heard of GE, Sony, Apple, Microsoft - you name any corporate brand from Europe, Japan, the United States or Korea - is that their brandedness is a huge economic advantage. They get an outside share of the profits. We haven't heard of any of the little companies in China that do the assembly and the actual work because they are the equivalent of sort of day labor in a sense. They have very little bidding rights.
And so I think, again, the people behind the creation of the current 12th five-year plan and the 13th and 14th that will come after that recognize that a different kind of challenge is ahead of China the next 10 or 15 years, compared with the huge success of its past 30-plus years. Now, the last 30 years have been a miracle for China in alleviating poverty in getting people off some of these very, very difficult farms where their cash income might be $100 a year to an urban factory life, which has a lot of other signs of material progress for the country. But taking the next step may be significantly harder.
RAZ: Our guest is James Fallows. His new book is called "China Airborne." It's about China's five-year plan to eventually make the country a center of global aviation. Why the focus on air travel in this plan rather than, say, you know, making great roads all across China or creating a great rail infrastructure?
FALLOWS: Part of the amusing answer to that question is that it's almost never an either/or decision about anything in China. And so just as most of the aerospace activity and infrastructure construction for airplanes is under way in China, so, too, they have a mammoth road-building program, a mammoth railroad-building program. And so it's all ahead on all fronts because they have both the needs and the resources to do that.
I think the reason why there's been concentration on these couple of very high-end industries, notably including aerospace and aviation for the Chinese, is both they feel this will help address a need of making connections within their country and satisfying a still very quickly rising demand for people to be able to go back and forth for family reasons, for travel reasons, for even touring reasons.
And also because they think that if the country can become not just a consumer and a purchaser of Boeing airplanes and Airbus airplanes and Gulf Streams and Cessna business jets and all the rest, but if they can take part of the international business of providing those things, then that will signify a real level of maturity for the economy.
It's worth remembering for Americans that Boeing is, year in and year out, the largest net exporter of all American companies. And the aerospace sector is overall the leading export sector for the United States. So the Chinese recognize that. They're buying lots of things now, but they hope that this is an area where they could succeed too.
RAZ: Let me ask you about flying in China because so much of the airspace - or practically all the airspace - is controlled by the military, which is precisely the opposite in the U.S. A vast majority is civilian-controlled in the U.S. Many flights in China take place at 10,000 feet. I mean, that requires a lot of fuel. It's certainly not comfortable for passengers.
Is that changing, and how much more will that have to change for China to reach this ambitious goal of becoming an aviation powerhouse?
FALLOWS: That is a central question, probably the central question, about how this one aspect of China's high-tech ambitions is going to be realized. Because, as you say, China's aviation history is entirely military, where America's has a combination of military and commercial and individual hobbyist background. And so everything about flying within China is subject to military control and whim.
The reason that departures from big airports in Shanghai or Beijing are so often delayed is because the military controllers, for some reason, are not giving permission for the traffic to leave. The routes for even big Chinese airliners are quite indirect by international standards because the military has only these narrow corridors. And as you mentioned, for security reasons, sometimes the airliners are kept to an altitude of 10 or 12,000 feet, which is grossly inefficient for big airliners. They can use twice as much fuel per mile, twice as many carbon emissions per mile when they're doing that. It's equivalent having to drive on a freeway in first gear.
The reason this matters is it's a little distillation of the struggle for China in general. Almost everything about China's next step up the economic and cultural and technological ladder requires relaxation of some government control, some military control. Question is how that balance will be struck.
RAZ: James Fallows' new book is called "China Airborne." Jim is a regular on this program and a national correspondent for The Atlantic. Jim, thanks so much.
FALLOWS: My pleasure. Thank you very much, Guy.

The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder: A Novel (Paperback)
September 2009 Indie Next List
"The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder is a luminous account of love gained and lost, of life's beginning and end, and of finding the joy in each day. Wells' latest is full of characters you will want to spend time with, as well as to recommend to your friends and reading groups."
— Rita Moran, Apple Valley Books, Winthrop, ME
In the small river town of La Luna, Louisiana, Calla Lily Ponder bursts into being, a force of nature as luminous as the flower she is named for. Under the loving light of the Moon Lady, the feminine force that will guide and protect her throughout her life, Calla enjoys a blissful childhood—until it is tragically cut short. From her mother, Calla learns compassion and healing through the humble womanly art of "fixing hair." On the banks of the La Luna River, she discovers a sweet, succulent first love that is as enticing as the music, food, and dancing of her Louisiana home. When heartbreak hits, Calla leaves the familiarity of her hometown and heads downriver to the untamed city of New Orleans, where her destiny further unfolds.
The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder is the story of a pink-collar heroine whose willingness to remain vulnerable in the face of adversity opens our own hearts to the possibility of love growing from sorrow.

Information Technology
The Information Technology Department has requested the following:
There are a few of items of need for the IT Department. The first is the need for a new Ticketing system. This helpdesk model would improve workflow assignments for IT staff, improve efficiencies in problem resolution for end users, and provide necessary benchmarking data for IT Management on technology related service data. The second area of concern is extending the online secure card swipes for the Rome Campus. Currently, the Cartersville Campus has this capability and houses the central system. Plans were to extend this capability to the Rome Campus, replacing the outdated and labor intensive managed standalone locks. This first system needs to be installed to cover the Rome IT Department. The last item involves the Cartersville Campus. The IT Department server room there is protected by a backup generator. There are five other IDF rooms located throughout the building. These IDF rooms serve data and voice capabilities for the campus. These rooms need homerun circuits that go back to the generator. This would keep all operations up when the power goes out (including phones).
Status: 2/12/09
Most Completed.
Still need to get IDFs on generators.

Imagine shopping at the mall, but instead of looking for clothes, you're shopping for a college scholarship.
That's how Burke High School Band Director Linard McCloud described the sixth annual scholarship audition fair.
High school juniors and seniors from across the state had the chance to audition for bands at several historically black colleges and universities, including Benedict College, S.C. State University, and Florida's Edward Waters College and Bethune-Cookman University.
Students stopped in between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. April 30 to audition for as many schools as they wanted. Some schools, like Bethune-Cookman, were able to give students offers right after their auditions.
Donovan Wells, Bethune-Cookman band director of 16 years, said when looking for prospective students he wants someone who has a mastery of the instrument and is a good student. "I would tell any student not to wait until senior year to master your skills. Music and band can be a vehicle to your degree," Wells said.
Many students, like Burke senior percussionists Raheem Shakir and Eric Davis, have been waiting for this day for years. Raheem said preparing for an audition is no different from practicing a sport. They both had been rehearsing their audition pieces four times a week since last spring.
Eric wants to go to college to study graphic design or music production. He said he auditioned for several schools so he could "weigh his options."
"That was her dream — for me to go to college," Eric said of his late mother.
Jon-Trevor Berry, a senior baritone player from Woodland High School in Dorchester, said he started preparing in August for his audition. He's been involved in band since the sixth grade. "I've been looking up to these bands since I was a kid. It's my dream to become a band member. I like the way they march and their show style," he said.
Berry's band director, Desmond Williams, is an alumnus of the South Carolina State band, and this is the first year Woodland High has participated in the event.
"It's a good opportunity for the students. It's a chance for them to meet college directors face to face. They probably wouldn't get the opportunity to audition for out-of-state schools otherwise," Williams said.
Dillon and Manning high schools also sent students to the auditions. McCloud said that many students in rural areas like these do not get the opportunity to audition for major schools.
And for many students, being in the band is about more than just getting a scholarship.
"I wouldn't be going to college if it wasn't for band. I wouldn't be the person I am today," Raheem said.
For him, being in the band since freshman year has kept him focused on school. He said McCloud "encourages (him) to be the best."
Wells said the development of band members also is something they focus on at Bethune-Cookman. "Our goal is to make sure that through band we're developing young people to be good citizens. ... That's how we measure the success of our program," Wells said.
South Carolina State Band Director Eddie Ellis has been recruiting students from Burke for nine years.
"South Carolina seems like a small state, but there are so many schools I have to cover. I just can't do them all. It's convenient," Ellis said of the Burke event.
Like Wells, he is looking for well-rounded students.
"We're not looking for students who just want to be in band because they're not going to want to go to class. We're looking for students who can be in band, juggle academics and graduate," Ellis said.
Reach Jade McDuffie at 937-5560 or email@example.com.

OTTAWA, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - MDS Nordion, a leading provider of medical isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals, today urged the Government of Canada and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to consult with international experts and obtain their assistance toward activating the MAPLE project to address the current shortage of medical isotopes created by the shutdown of the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor at Chalk River, Ontario - and to avoid similar occurrences in the future.
Given that there are no domestic or international sources of supply that can fully mitigate this shortage, which has caused and will continue to cause unavoidable and serious disruptions to patient care, MDS Nordion has requested that the government direct AECL to honour its long-standing commitment to replace the NRU by bringing the MAPLE facilities into service. These facilities would enable Canada to maintain its leadership position in the innovative and increasingly important field of nuclear medicine.
"The current NRU shutdown - and the shutdown of November 2007 - illustrates the fragility and unpredictability of the global medical-isotope supply system, and highlights the requirement for new research reactor capacity to deliver a reliable long-term supply of medical isotopes," said Steve West, President of MDS Nordion. "The solution to the global medical isotope crisis is in Canada. The infrastructure is in place, and with the assistance of an international consortium of nuclear experts, the MAPLE facilities could be producing medical isotopes to the benefit of patients worldwide."
At more than 50 years of age, the NRU, the largest producer of medical isotopes in the world, produces 30%-40% of the world's medical isotopes, and approximately 50% of those used in North America. These isotopes are then processed by MDS Nordion at its state-of-the-art, 300,000-square-foot facility in Ottawa. Isotopes produced in Canada are used in approximately 50,000 procedures each day worldwide, including about 5,000 in Canada.
On May 25, 2009, in an interview with Canwest News Service on the status of the supply of medical isotopes, Dr. Christopher O'Brien, President of the Ontario Association of Nuclear Medicine and Director of Nuclear Medicine at Brantford General Hospital, said "if Chalk River does not come back up on line, does not restart, North America will be faced with a significant and chronic shortage of medical isotopes. There just aren't enough reactors out there that can take the place of Chalk River."
MAPLE - The Best Solution for Medical Isotope Supply
MDS Nordion long recognized the serious nature of the aging global reactor infrastructure, and the need to provide a long-term reliable supply of medical isotopes. To this end, in 1996, MDS contracted with AECL to construct and deliver two isotope production reactors and a processing facility dedicated solely to the production of medical isotopes to replace the NRU reactor, a collaboration that became known as the MAPLE project. The Project included two reactors - MAPLE 1 and MAPLE 2 - to provide a steady and redundant supply of isotopes when one of the reactors would go offline for routine maintenance. Originally slated to be fully operational in 2000, AECL agreed to build the MAPLE project for $145 million - to be fully paid by MDS Nordion.
On May 16, 2008, the Government of Canada and AECL unilaterally announced that the MAPLE project would be discontinued without disclosing a long-term plan for the supply of medical isotopes beyond an intent to extend the license of the NRU to 2016. On July 9, 2008, MDS, which by this time had invested approximately $350 million in the MAPLE project, commenced arbitration against AECL and filed a $1.6 billion court claim against AECL and the Government of Canada to compel them to return to work, and fulfil their contractual obligation to bring the MAPLE facilities into service.
On January 29, 2009, Dr. Kevin Crowley, Study Director of the National Academy of Science, stated in his presentation to the Nuclear Energy Association that "AECL's May 2008 decision to discontinue work on the MAPLE reactors is a blow to worldwide supply reliability."
MDS's primary objective through the legal proceedings is to have AECL honour its long-standing commitment to replace the NRU by bringing the MAPLE facilities into service, and provide a 40-year supply of medical isotopes.
Expert Opinion on MAPLE
In its January 2009 report, Medical Isotope Production without Highly Enriched Uranium, The National Academy of Science Committee states that "AECL could probably contract with another organization to fix the MAPLE reactors...if it does not have the necessary in-house technical expertise or resources to do the work itself."
In a Viewpoint article that appeared in the October 2, 2008 edition of Nuclear Engineering International, Dr. Harold Smith, ex-Manager, MAPLE Nuclear Commissioning, HIZ and Associates Inc., stated that the "MAPLE reactor is probably the safest reactor design in existence since it actually has three shutdown systems... The MAPLE reactor operated like a dream, and was fully capable of meeting all objectives."
Other Longer-Term Supply Alternatives
In addition to MAPLE, MDS Nordion will continue to examine other supply alternatives. On April 28, 2009, MDS Nordion announced an agreement with TRIUMF, Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics, to study the feasibility of producing a viable and reliable supply of photo fission-based molybdenum-99.
Companies and organizations from around the world, including MDS Nordion, are working individually and collectively to mitigate the impact to patients that the immediate global shortage of medical isotopes has created.

|biscuit description
A biscuit (pronounced /ˈbɪskɨt/) is a baked edible product. The term is used to apply to two distinctly different products in North America and the Commonwealth Nations.In the United States it relates to a small soft leavened bread, somewhat similar to a scone. In Commonwealth English, it commonly is used to refer to a small and hard, often sweetened, flour-based product, most akin in American English to a cookie, or sometimes in the case of cheese biscuits, a cracker.
Raw materials:Sweet biscuits are commonly eaten as a snack food and are, in general, made with wheat flour or oats, and sweetened with sugar or honey. Varieties may contain chocolate, fruit, jam, nuts, or even be used to sandwich other fillings. There is usually a dedicated section for sweet biscuits in most European supermarkets.
Uses:Most modern biscuits can trace their origins back to either the Hardtack ships biscuit, or the creative art of the baker:

The event is part of this weekend's GoBowling.com 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway and benefits the NASCAR Foundation and the Armed Forces Foundation in their initiative to help children of military families across the United States.
There are two player options. The VIP package is a $250 donation and includes admission into a pre-event reception with the celebrities and participation in the tournament. The general admission ticket is a $100 donation and reserves a seat in the tournament.
Fans may also attend. A VIP ticket is a $150 donation and includes admission into the pre-event reception. A general admission ticket is a $50 donation and allows you to watch the tournament.
Registration begins at 5:30 p.m. in the Poker Room at Mohegan Sun. The pre-event reception is at 6 with the tournament getting under way at 7.
The top-finishing fan in the tournament will receive a choice of two prizes: a VIP race experience at Pocono Raceway or a VIP Stay-and-Play Experience at Mohegan Sun.
Among the celebrities scheduled to appear are: NASCAR president Mike Helton; Pocono Raceway president and CEO Brandon Igdalsky; Sprint Cup Series drivers Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle and Alex Bowman; Steve Letarte, crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr.; NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers Jennifer Jo Cobb, Todd Bodine, Spencer Gallagher and Joey Coulter; and Fox Sports 1 broadcaster Ray Dunlap.
Also, a number of local veterans will be participating, courtesy of the NASCAR Foundation.
"It's a lot of fun to see the veterans come out, to see a smile on their face, be energized and engaged in the tournament," Busch said at Pocono in June when the Showdown was announced. "And we're all doing it for a good cause."
Along for the ride
Toyota of Scranton will sponsor the BK Racing No. 26 Toyota Camry of Cole Whitt in Sunday's GoBowling.com 400 at Pocono.
In previous years, the local dealership has sponsored the Nos. 51 and 54 Toyota Tundras in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races at Pocono.
This, however, is the first time it will back a car in the Sprint Cup Series.
"We have customers in this market that are race fans and we support Toyota racing in a big way this year," Toyota of Scranton president Greg Gagorik said in a press release. "It's going to be very exciting to see our Toyota of Scranton logo all over the
No. 26 car as it flies around the tri-oval at Pocono."
Whitt is in his rookie season in the Sprint Cup Series. The 23-year-old native of Alpine, California, ranks 32nd in the point standings through 20 races with his best finish being 18th at Fontana in March. He finished 30th at Pocono in June.
Tonight from 6:30 to 7:30, Whitt is scheduled to appear at Toyota of Scranton, 3400 North Main Ave. in Scranton.
Two country music recording artists will be performing this weekend at Pocono Raceway. Lucy Angel, a female trio consisting of mother Kate Anderton and daughters Lindsay and Emily, will sing the national anthem prior to Saturday's Pocono Mountains 150 Truck Series race and play a prerace concert Sunday. Eric Lee Beddingfield will sing the national anthem before the GoBowling.com 400 on Sunday. ... Members of the Pocono Raceway's Kids Club will serve as grand marshals for the Pocono Mountains 150 and give the command to start the engines for the race. ... Richard Petty is the grand marshal for the GoBowling.com 400. Sunday's race comes one day before the 40th anniversary of Petty's victory in the first Cup race at Pocono on Aug. 4, 1974.

Acer unveils world's second HD DVD laptop
May ship with DVD support only, at first
Acer yesterday announced the second notebook to support HD DVD, following the lead set by Toshiba, the next-generation optical disc format's chief cheerleader, and as predicted. But don't expect it to ship with such a drive immediately - the first models may only ship with DVD drives.
The Aspire 9800 will ship with a 20.1in, 1,680 x 1,050 CristalBrite display fed not only by the upcoming HD DVD drive but by the built-in analogue and digital TV tuners. Integrated webcams are in vogue, so it's no surprise to learn the 9800 has one, a 1.3 megapixel model dubbed the 'Orbicam'.
There's a DVI-D port to hook the machine up to an HD TV - the notebook can pump out HDCP-protected content.
According to Acer, the 9800 will initially ship with an "optional" DVD±R/RW drive with dual-layer support. The notebook's due to debut in May, but the best Acer could say about the availability of the HD DVD drive is that it'll ship when it ships.
The notebook will ship with an Intel Core Duo processor, an Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 GPU with up to 256MB dedicated video memory, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. With a 20.1in display defining its size, the notebook has room for two SATA hard drives, allowing buyers to kit it out with up to 240GB of unformatted storage capacity.
Acer's launch comes a month after Toshiba announced the HD DVD-supporting Qosmio Q30 notebook. ®

Regular price: $39.93
The case lands on the desk of Kathryn Dance, the California Bureau of Investigation's foremost kinesics -- body language-expert. She and Deputy Michael O'Neil follow the leads to Travis Brigham, a troubled teenager whose role in a fatal car accident has inspired vicious attacks against him on a popular blog, The Chilton Report.
As the investigation progresses, Travis vanishes. Using techniques he learned as a brilliant participant in MMORPGs, Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, he easily eludes his pursuers and continues to track his victims, some of whom Kathryn is able to save, some not. Among the obstacles Kathryn must hurdle are politicians from Sacramento, paranoid parents and the blogger himself, James Chilton, whose belief in the importance of blogging and the new media threatens to derail the case and potentially Dance's career. It is this threat that causes Dance to take desperate and risky measures...
In signature Jeffery Deaver style, Roadside Crosses is filled with dozens of plot twists, cliff-hangers and heartrending personal subplots. It is also a searing look at the accountability of blogging and life in the online world. Roadside Crosses is the third in Deaver's best-selling High-Tech Thriller Trilogy, along with The Blue Nowhere and The Broken Window.
Please note: Part three of this audiobook consists of The Blue Nowhere.
I don't need to add much to what other reviewers have stated that are so obviously true.. Bad writing and the narration is even worse... this book should be in the Kids section. I felt like it was written for teenagers.
Its a waste... Guess I should have read the reviews earlier
15 of 15 people found this review helpful
I enjoyed the fact that Deaver wrote a novel specifically for Katherine Dance, but warning those of you who chose books for length and author, this book is about 12 hours long with an abridged copy of "The Blue Nowhere" tacked onto the end as "part 3".
Don't get me wrong, "The Blue Nowehere" was a good book and it shows a progression in computers but a.) I hate abridged books and b.) When I am going on a trip I sometimes choose a book from my wishlist based as much on length as on topic or author. Shame on you audible for at least not warning me.

While I got exactly what I expected from the story itself, I, too, was disappointed that the "20" hours was really only about a third of that. Audible needs to put a very visible disclaimer on this listing. "The Blue Nowhere" was written ages ago and I already have that one. Glad I found out before I downloaded "Roadside Crosses Part 3" so I didn't waste my time... I still would have bought "Roadside Crosses" if the listing had said something like "Includes a bonus recording of "The Blue Nowhere", abridged, 6 hours."

I love Jeffery Deaver but I chose this book in part because it was 20 hours long and thought I had paid for a 20 hour book. You can imagine my disappointment when I found that Part 3 was a part of a book I had already bought. I am very dissappointed with Audible for the deception.

I was really unhappy with this book. Not because of the storyline or the narration- but because like the other reviewer's, I didn't get what I was expecting. When I ordered it I thought "great"- A good, long unabridged book from one of my favorite authors. Toward the end of the 2nd part I was thinking, they are about to wrap up this mystery, what more could they possibly put in the 3rd part? Another book of course!! One I had already read and didn't care to listen to in the abridged version. I think Audible should refund a credit to all who were duped by not getting a full disclosure about this.

This is my least favorite Dance novel. Like everyone else, I did not enjoy the constant explanation of computer terminology (does anyone in 2008-2009 need to have terms like "http" defined!?). He also put a lot of preaching about internet safety in the mouth of the professor. However, there were some good plot twists.

I enjoyed the story,although not as much as other books I have read by this author. I got toward the end of Part 2 and couldn't help but wonder what else might happen to the characters and "low and behold" the book ended. I feel cheated by the author and by Audible. There should definitely be a refund or credits given to the members who purchased this. I have purchased 200 to 300 books since my membership began, but I have never been this disappointed with a selection.

Typical Deaver book--the writing isn't fantastic but the plot is fun and always leaves you guessing.
I was really disappointed, though, that the last six hours of the book was an abridged version of The Blue Nowhere (which I've already read).
Anyway, it's a fun listen, but ignore the third part of the download.

There are three things wrong with this book: 1. the writing 2. the narration and 3. the packaging.
- The writing is disorganized. The story is too light on action and too heavy on needless detail. The dialog is childish. The "solution" to the mystery makes no sense.
- The narration is comical. The male voices sound stupid and both male and female teenagers talk like valley girls from the 80s.
- Finding out Part 3 of the book is actually another book I've already read was extremely annoying. I want a refund.
10 of 13 people found this review helpful
I bought this because I enjoyed The Sleeping Doll so much. The characters are great and I love how Deaver writes Dance as an investigator. Like most every Deaver novel, there are really surprising twists that either keep you in suspense or eager to understand what has transpired.
Michelle Pawk does a great job with all the characters. She gets a well earned 5 star rating for me.
I give the story 3 stars because I found the subject matter, (blogging and cyber bullying), a bit trite and boring. Deaver more than compensates for this with his talented character development and storytelling.

Panama City Beach- After a year of legal battles involving Faith Christian Family Church's financial struggles, the property has ultimately landed in foreclosure. It was something SunTrust Bank had tried to do in May of last year, but just two days before the sale the church, under the direction of Pastor Mark Bishop, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy.
"The market is not good, and trying to sell that type of specialized property is difficult in this type of market," said Faith Christian Church Attorney Charles Wynn.
As a part of the bankruptcy, Bishop was required to follow strict spending guidlines, but bank officials said he never adhered to them. In court documents they said he was "using the debtor's coffers as his personal piggy bank."
Up until November of last year, the financial reports he filed showed thousands of dollars overspent. Then after that financial statement, the bank said it suddenly stopped receiving those reports altogether.
Wynn said the court documents don't paint an accurate picture. He wouldn't comment on specific purchases but claimed Bishop paid back everything he spent.
"There was never any finding of fault or any type of wrongdoing whatsoever," said Wynn.
It's not known if Bishop's luxurious gated home, which he claims is a parsonage, is also in foreclosure. He didn't return NewsChannel 7's calls Wednesday. It's not clear when the church will move off the now-foreclosed property.

I enjoy seeing the back-and-forth that occurs during the blog discussions on this site, but generally I'm not a big fan of commenting on the comments. In this case, however, I feel it's a must.
My blog the other day referred to a "lack of interest" about the A's. It was a sarcastic answer to the fact that one of the beat writers is not on this trip — again, for myriad well-founded reasons — and intended as humorous way to start the debate about how much interest in the A's there remains. Because, frankly, if I were a fan, I wouldn't have a whole lot right now, at least about this year's edition. And if the attendance is any indication, there hasn't been a lot of interest all year.
But one of the comments the other day suggested he'd like to know how much interest the players are showing. I'm not around the team as much as the daily beat writers, but I can tell you that in my dealings with them, a lack of work or interest is not the issue. A lack of talent is. And I can tell with absolute certainty that Mark Ellis — the one who offered up the "Lack of Interest," comment — should never ever be accused of giving less than full interest to his profession. You don't become the best second baseman in franchise history by not doing so.
For the record, Ellis was making a sarcastic remark that reflected what is obvious to everyone. There's not much interest in this team right now. It's absolutely the correct assessment, though that doesn't mean some individual interest among fans still exists. The blog the other day was not meant to insinuate that either Ellis, the players or every single fan has lost interest. If it gave off that impression, my bad.

New traffic pattern for elementary school
Newton-Conover City Schools and the Newton Police Department devised a new traffic pattern for South Newton Elementary School for morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up.
"It's more of a safety issue than anything," said Newton Police Chief Don Brown. "We want to keep students and their parents safe."
Under the new traffic pattern, parents must travel to South Cline Avenue to access the school. The school's U.S. 321 entrance, which is the road previously used to access the school, will be closed mornings and afternoons to school traffic.
A new driveway will be opened in the area near South Newton's gymnasium to clear the intersection of South Cline Avenue and West I Street from traffic waiting to access the school.
Traffic heading north on South Cline Avenue will not be allowed to turn left into the loading area, so people accessing the school from U.S. 321 should travel south on D Street to access South Cline Avenue.

Announcing the Thera-Band® 2010 Innovation Challenge
Practitioners' Product Ideas Benefit Rehab & Industry Associations
Akron, Ohio - August 17, 2010 - Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation has launched the Thera-Band 2010 Innovation Challenge, a unique and creative program that enables healthcare professionals to propose new product ideas that could innovate their industry. Plus, through their participation they could generate funding for their industry's association.
"Our success as a company is based on the success of the rehab professionals we serve. They have always been a source of great ideas to improve outcomes. The original idea behind the Thera-Band resistance band was actually brought to us by two physical therapists back in 1975. They were using our bulk dental dam product to enhance the effectiveness of their patients' rehabilitation programs and wanted us to develop additional resistance levels," stated Ethan Pochman, Director of Marketing and Clinical Solutions.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ — In a clinical trial comparing the i-port(R) (a small, disposable injection port about the size of a quarter) with standard injections in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, participants' differences in glycosylated albumin was not significantly different. The new data appeared in an article published in the current issue (Summer, 2008) of Diabetes Spectrum, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Diabetes Association. Glycosylated albumin is a direct measure of short term glucose in blood protein. Based on these results, the authors conclude that the utility and efficacy of administering multiple doses of insulin through a single i-port(R) device is a viable alternative to standard injections. View the complete abstract and/or purchase the feature article at http://spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/21/3/197.
"Our study demonstrates that delivering insulin via the i-port(R) provides the same therapeutic benefits as standard injections," said lead investigator Dr. Thomas Blevins of Texas Diabetes and Endocrinology in Austin, Texas. "This is especially significant for people with diabetes who struggle with adherence and need an alternative to the multiple daily skin punctures required by standard injections."
The prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label crossover study enrolled 74 patients with diabetes being treated with daily insulin injections at five trial sites. Participants were randomly assigned to two of three injection treatment regimens including standard injection, injecting through a single i-port(R) device, and injecting through two separate i-port(R) devices with each regimen lasting three weeks. Patients using the single i-port(R) regimen injected both regular human or rapid-acting insulin and LANTUS(R) through the same device (separating the dose of LANTUS(R) from the regular human or rapid acting insulin by at least 60 minutes). Participants using the dual i-port(R) regimen injected each type of insulin through two separate devices. Participants were evaluated by measurements of glycosylated albumin and study questionnaires. The results were not significantly different between the three treatment regimens (P = 0.99 for standard injection vs. single i-port(R) and P = 0.97 for single i-port(R) vs. dual i-port(R)). Fifty of 72 participants (69.4%) reported that the i-port(R) was useful and helpful in the management of their diabetes.
ABOUT the i-port(R) Injection Port
The i-port(R) Injection Port is a prescription only device cleared by the FDA in September 2005, for use by people requiring multiple daily, subcutaneous injections of physician-prescribed medications, including insulin. The i-port(R) may be a helpful treatment delivery tool for anyone who wants to minimize the intrusion of daily injections.
The i-port(R) should not be worn for longer than 72 hours. The most serious risks when using the i-port(R) include infection and the potential for poor medication delivery if not properly applied. For people with diabetes, the poor medication delivery may result in abnormally high or low blood sugar levels. If you experience these or any other problems when using the i-port(R), tell your doctor.
About Patton Medical Devices
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Patton Medical Devices is the manufacturer of the i-port(R) Injection Port. For people taking injection therapy who want to minimize the intrusion of injections on daily life, the i-port(R) is the only product of its kind conceived by a person with diabetes that offers a simple, convenient way to eliminate the need to puncture the skin with each dose of medication.

I consult God regularly. One design decision He made was no child windows -- policy of one window per task. Another decision He made was 640x480 resolution. I posted a promise of sticking to this resolution. Then, God said He didn't mean permanantly, but I had already promised and God expects you to keep your word. Those were the main influences by God on my operating system. He's made little things, too.

Story highlights
- Improvement in sentiment is largely a result of actions taken by ECB head Mario Draghi
- Market commentators should pay more attention to fundamentals and less to fluctuating bond yields
- The end of 2012 is a far cry from the dark days of 2011 when nervousness about the eurozone was at its highest
Is the three-year-old eurozone sovereign debt crisis nearing its end?
The very fact that such a question is being asked with increasing frequency by investment strategists speaks volumes about the dramatic improvement in market sentiment towards the eurozone of late. Psychologically speaking, the end of 2012 is a far cry from the dark days of November 2011 when nervousness about the eurozone was at its highest.
What accounts for this shift in sentiment and is it justified? Mario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), deserves most, if not all, of the credit. By promising in late July to "do whatever it takes" to save the eurozone, Draghi significantly reduced the threat of Europe's single currency area breaking up.
The results speak for themselves. Spain, the focal point for market anxiety for much of this year, is now seeing foreign capital trickle back into its economy after months of outflows. The yield on Spanish benchmark 10-year bonds, which many investors treat as a proxy for risk in the eurozone as a whole, now stands at just under 5.4%, sharply down from 7.6% as recently as July 24.
As for Italy, whose bond market was collapsing late last year and which is gearing up for a crucial parliamentary election that could take place as early as March 10, investors have never been more sanguine about the country since it got sucked into the eurozone crisis in July 2011. Italy is now selling 10-year bonds at pre-crisis yield levels.
Yet what if Draghi hadn't pledged to do what's necessary to prevent the eurozone from breaking apart? Would Spanish and, to lesser extent, Italian interest rates have fallen so sharply without the promise of bond-buying from the ECB? Definitely not. The recent improvement in sentiment towards the eurozone stems almost entirely from the actions of one man - Draghi.
I would not underestimate the determination of the ECB to shore up the debt markets of southern Europe. So successful has Draghi's bond-purchasing pledge been in driving down Spanish and Italian yields that some foreign investors now see Italian bonds as an attractive buying opportunity.
Yet if the risks in the eurozone are receding, why are investors still parking most of their money in "safe haven" German bonds -- and even paying Berlin for the privilege of lending it money as the negative yields at recent auctions of short-term German bonds illustrate?
The answer's clear: Investors rightly believe the eurozone crisis is still far from being resolved and could yet flare up again.
Market commentators should stop focusing solely on government bond yields and start paying more attention to Europe's deteriorating economic fundamentals and its messy politics. There's a reason why Draghi had to step in to stem the panic: Because eurozone politicians keep dithering instead of putting in place measures to secure the financial and economic stability of Europe.
In a nutshell, there's an enduring standoff between a French-led group of member states wary of ceding more sovereignty and a German-led one wary of sharing more risks.
To make matters worse, Germany is even reluctant to share more sovereignty when it comes to allowing the ECB to start supervising its banks -- in particular its weaker regional lenders known as the Landesbanken - as the first stage in plans to set up a banking union across Europe.
It's the politics of the eurozone crisis which matter most now. The big issues in Europe -- establishing a banking union, shoring up Spain, agreeing on a new seven-year European Union budget and, last but by no means least, keeping Greece in the eurozone -- are in the hands of politicians, and not of the ECB.
So when you hear about how successful Spanish and Italian bond auctions have been of late, bear in mind that bond yields are just one gauge --- and by no means the most important -- of whether the eurozone crisis is nearing its end.

Sephora - Even when they mess up an order, their customer service was good enough I didn't care =)
I really love Wegman's. [grocery chain]The produce and meat are incredibly fresh, there is a gourmet bakery and a food court in my store, and many brands are carried. The prices of the things I like are comparable to Walmart, and the customer service is supreme.The only downside - I haven't found Alex Baldwin in there, yet.
I love the employees at my local Whole Foods. They are pleasant, always ready to help find anything I need, make serving suggestions if I need them, and they sharpen knives for free in the meat department.
I refer to Sephora as "the mothership", as in I'm drawn into their stores like there's a chip in my brain or something. I love the selection, the ease of trying and the customer service. And FYI join their customer appreciation thingie - the rewards are good and easy to redeem.

Kill the sea lions to save the salmon? The Raw Story reports:
A House Natural Resources Committee panel is holding a hearing this morning about the Endangered Salmon Predation Prevention Act (HR 946), which, under its tame-sounding official name, would authorize tribal members in the Pacific Northwest to kill sea lions to allow the endangered wild salmon to replenish in the Columbia River.
"As Northwest residents spend hundreds of millions of dollars each year to protect salmon, California sea lions camp out at Bonneville Dam and other areas along the Columbia River and gorge themselves on endangered fish," Natural Resources Committee chairman Rep. Doc Hastings (R-WA) explained in a statement last month.
The National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration in May authorized "lethal" removal of sea lions on the 140-mile stretch of the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington below the dam.
"This is not an easy decision for our agency to make, but a thorough analysis shows that a small number of California sea lions preying on salmon and steelhead are having a significant effect on the ability of the fish stocks to recover," William W. Stelle Jr., Northwest regional administrator for NOAA's Fisheries Service, said in a statement recommending lethal removal of sea lions in the region.

When police arrived at the Camden rowhouse, it was too late. Inside, they came upon two-year-old Zahree Thomas' headless body. The head was found in the refrigerator.
The mother, Chevonne Thomas, 34, a drug addict who had made a frantic, addled call to police confessing she had killed her child, was barricaded in an upstairs room.
Before police could get to her, she slit her own throat and died on the spot.
She had regained custody of the boy under a court order. State child-protection officials said the mother had received extensive drug and other counseling and had been subject to frequent household visits by them.
Zahree's horrific death will one day become a statistic and perhaps an anonymously summarized case when the state's child death-watch panel catches up.
The obscure panel is officially known as the New Jersey Child Fatality and Near Fatality Review Board. The 14-member board — dominated by 10 state official members — has the grim assignment of reviewing cases of child deaths and issuing an annual statistical report.
The panel's reports have never managed to keep pace with the mayhem and misfortune it is tasked to track. The 2012 report only recently came out, and it covers questionable child deaths or close calls from 2010.
The deaths reviewed included 160 children, a disproportionate number of them African-American and Latino. The breakdown of the toll:
55 natural causes
43 accidental
25 undetermined
22 homicide
15 suicide
Out of the 160 cases, child-protection officials had open files on 33 of the parents or guardians, 19 percent of the total cases reviewed.
Child protection officials had "terminated involvement" with 11 of the parents or guardians, 6 percent of the total cases reviewed, within 12 months of the deaths or close calls.
With teens, drugs lurk as an ever-present factor in deaths. The summary of one such case noted a 17-year-old who tested positive postmortem for cocaine, methadone, Xanax and alcohol.
The state's child-protection officials have more than 40,000 cases under their purview.
The review board has recommended preventive measures against Sudden Infant Death and urged the judiciary to be more responsive to information requests by child-protection officials.
The board also has repeatedly urged improvement in child-death autopsies and recommended — to no avail — that New Jersey's patchwork of county coroners we centralized under state authority.

after watching clanned i felt so bad D: no happy ending
so which anime did you watch?
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
yeah , took me 3 weeks to finish Bleach and it was my first anime , when i finished it I was emotionally broken , as if part of me was dying.
Gradually these feelings was less because i've knew more and more anime and less and less amazing animes.. regardless if i'm otaku or not , therefore I try to enjoy as many animes as possible ^
Yeah, I finished Clannad: After Story a couple of months ago, and just stopped watching anime all together for a while. Just getting back lately, but yeah, it took a lot out of me. Also, am I the only one that looked like that DURING Angel Beats!?
I like a lot of romance or comedy romance anime but I also like the non romance anime but after watching something like 'H2O' or 'A bridge to the starie skies', I feel exceptionally sad once I go to bed and then feel down during the next day. I think this is because I don't have anyone I can relate to or someone special who also loves anime that I can talk to about after or cry on someones shoulder
Maybe I'm just more cheesy than I think I am. Does this sound cheesy?
If it's a good anime, it's like eating the best piece of chocolate ever (for lack of a better comparison) and then it's gone, and your left wanting more.
A bad anime is like dropping that chocolate you wanted in the sand - you had great anticipation and BAM total disappointment.
It depends on the ending. Some leave me wanting another season, some just make me feel happy it ended that way, and some I'm just relieved I finished.
イタリアが愛の国であるならば、 全ての愛は俺の手中にある。
well if its tenjo tenge it left me wanting more but if it was like yu yu hakshu it left me with sadness that it came to an end
Depressed and empty, it's a sad fact that once you finish an anime you particularly like, your not usially going to be like " yay! no more episodes! ". Although the fun you have watching the anime, is well worth the negative feelings you have when it's all over. Odds are you will find another great series to fill the void and repeat the process. We all wish that all anime lasted forever, but it's just not a reasonable request.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A detective investigating a multi-state dog fighting case says each side usually bet $20,000 to $40,000 on a match and more than $100,000 could change hands on a Saturday night in the Alabama woods.
Auburn Police Detective Chris Carver worked with the FBI on the investigation and testified in federal court Wednesday in Montgomery. All 12 defendants from Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas appeared in court Wednesday to enter not guilty pleas. All 12 are charged with conspiring to sponsor dog fights or training animals for fights. Eleven face gambling charges.
Carver said investigators have information from informants and cooperating witnesses about seven dog fights in Lee County between 2011 and 2013.
A judge set a Feb. 10 trial date.

The cases of a mother and son in Wayne County accused in a murder are expected to go before a grand jury in June. Forest Johnston, who's age 20 and charged with murder, remains behind bars on a $1,000,000 bond. His mother, 46-year-old Mary Johnston, is charged with aggravated assault. Her bond is still $250,000. Both are accused in connection with the shooting death of one of their neighbors, 41-year-old Belinda Walters. The dispute was over messages on Facebook that Forest Johnston had allegedly sent to Walter's underage daughter. The shooting happened early Sunday morning at the suspects' house in the Pleasant Grove Community.

A descendant of one of Otago's pioneering families has left the entire proceeds from the sale of her Arrowtown home, being auctioned later this month, to charity.
Verona Mary McGregor, who is understood to have died several years ago, lived in Arrowtown most of her life and was a descendant of the McGregor family, which owed John McGregor and Co, the Dunedin-based company which constructed the TSS Earnslaw in 1912.
In her will, she left a substantial portion of her estate to 17 charities, with her three-bedroom, one bathroom home at 15 Cardigan St going to the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind (RNZFB) Guide Dog Services - despite having had no known affiliation with the charity.
The foundation was made aware of the donation when the house was put into a Trust many years ago.
A family member of the Trust was able to live in the house under a "Life Interest", but after that person's death earlier this year the foundation was advised the house would be sold and it would get the proceeds.
RNZFB supporter marketing and fundraising executive director Alison Wheatley said she was unaware of any "specific connection" to the foundation, however, it often received legacies from friends or family members of New Zealanders who were blind or had low vision.
"They are often inspired by the help and support of the RNZFB has been able to provide ... so it's their way of giving back," she said.
Bayleys Queenstown residential saleswoman Katharine Tomlinson said the original 1970s weatherboard home, located in the historic precinct of Arrowtown, had a 2011 rateable valuation of $435,000.
The 579sq m property featured a carport, workshop and an outdoor entertainment area, complete with a swimming pool.
Ms Tomlinson said it would be auctioned off in Bayley's Queenstown office on November 29 at 1pm and 100 per cent of the sale would go to the charity,
All services for the auction had been donated, including the commission of the sale and Bayleys would not be charging a fee for the auction or marketing of the property.
Services had also been donated by Virtual Homes Photography, Lakes Property Press and print media, including the Otago Daily Times which had given free advertising. Lakes Environmental had also filled out a Land Information Memorandum (Lim) report at no cost.
Ms Wheatley said no decision had been made on what the money would be used for, it would go "where the need is the greatest".
