Jefferson Parish's Council on Aging, a nonprofit responsible for feeding hundreds of older residents, has no money left to add new Jefferson Parish applicants to its meal delivery routes, said Al Robichaux, the council's administrative director.
The dearth in cash leaves 170 people who have been accepted into the program to remain on a waiting list. This is despite financing from the state and federal governments and a local property tax of half a mill dedicated to senior services.
"We're very fortunate the people of Jefferson Parish, the parish president and the Parish Council have made this commitment to our seniors with this millage. A lot of parishes don't have this," Robichaux said. "Unfortunately, we have tapped out."
While lag time for applying to the program can last a couple of months, this is the first time the 39-year-old agency has ever had to resort to a permanent waiting list, Robichaux said. The situation surprised Andra Capaci, a real estate broker whose parents were approved for the program but told they would have to wait. She said she was told the council had been broke for months.
"I found out the Council On Aging has no money and I was shocked," she said.
The council supports 11 senior centers and more than 1,600 residents over the age of 60 in Jefferson Parish. Of those residents, almost 90 percent partake in the home delivery of meals each day.
The program is costly: Robichaux estimated each meal costs $6 and when a new resident is added to the routes, the agency is committing to deliver another 250 meals a year. The council has an annual budget of more than $4 million, with meal costs accounting for more than $2 million of that, officials said.
The parish millage for senior services began in 2006 and brought in $950,000 last year. Parish President Aaron Broussard's administration managed to budget $775,000 for the council this year, alongside $244,000 guaranteed from the parish's general fund. But next year, because of a lack of a surplus, will be worse: Finance Director Gwen Bolotte said the parish can only afford to put $450,000 aside for the agency in 2010.
Roughly 600 residents are fed with money from the millage alone, Robichaux said. The rest is covered by the state and federal governments, which contributed $2.9 million to the council in the last fiscal year ending July 1.
Robichaux said the lack of cash is not a result of the national economic downturn. Rather, its a symptom of federal and state budgeting for the council remaining flat for the last three years while inflation has increased.
There's also a greater demand, he said. Jefferson Parish has 80,000 people over the eligibility age of 60, and that will grow with the retirement of baby boomers.
"I think funding has to increase from the federal and state level," Robichaux said. The Recovery Act, also known as the stimulus bill, did funnel some cash to the council, but that would only last two years. The council decided to put that money toward making the meals already budgeted more nutritious and better suited to diabetics.
The council is looking to double its efforts soliciting donations from the public. On Nov. 20, it will call for a 'casual Friday' for local businesses and ask that contributions be made to the meal program, Robichaux said.
"The main purpose of the Council on Aging is to keep people independent as long as possible in the setting of their choosing," he said. "So a meal is for that purpose."

Nine-year-old singer Amira Willighagen won Holland's Got Talent on Saturday evening with a moving performance of Puccini's "Nessun Dorma."
Amira sang the emotional aria from Puccini's opera Turandot with a choir backing her up, while her many supporters in the audience cheered and waved signs.
Amira was the favorite going in to the finals of the televised talent show. Last week, she sang "Ave Maria" on the semi-finals, and the video of her performance has since gone viral.
At the finals, Amira received more than 50% of the television viewers' votes to win first place over seven other contestants.
Amira Willighagen was awarded a trophy and the grand prize...which is a performance in Las Vegas. Dance troupe Reality won second place, while third place went to 80-year-old Grandpa Piet.
The jury was unanimous in their praise for Amira. "Tonight, the Netherlands has become one world star richer," Juror Gordon Heuckeroth said.
Juror Dan Karaty told her, "It's a gift you have, and I think we all are looking forward to watching you grow with that gift and see how far it can go, because you're just positively spectacular up there. That's all I can say."
He later tweeted: "What a finish! Reality created such a moment, then Amira brought the house down."
It's likely that the world has not heard the last of this extremely talented young singer.
Many observers have compared Amira with Jackie Evancho, 13, who became a celebrity after her appearances on America's Got Talent.
Miss Evancho, herself, is well known for her performance of the aria "Nessun Dorma."

Hawaii coach will learn
The University of Hawaii's softball coach has disrespected the University of Alabama softball team by stating publicly that he doesn't know anything about the team or the players and doesn't really care because Hawaii is going to beat them. Well, coach, your education about Alabama softball will begin this weekend and I hope it's a harsh one.

Wicky wicky wild, wicky wicky wild
Wild Wild West, Frank West, desperado.
Infected, no you don't want nada.
None of this, don't mess with this, photojournalist,
I've covered wars yo, look it's like I said bro.
Any showgirl that's in distress
Be out of that dress when she meet Frank West
Combos so go check the maintenance door
Watch your step, don't slip, there's some puke on the floor
Zombrex in store, don't miss injection time,
You don't wanna see me rage, turn your brains to slime,
Fuck all of this, from the start of this, in Willamette,
Frank West, shamin' the rest, with the biggest balls yet
Now who ya gonna call? *Not the Chuck Greenes*
Now who ya gonna call? *Muthafuckin' Frankie*
Zombie heads and teeth I really wanna bust, freak out
before you get chainsawed at the (Wild Wild West)
When I stab into the (Wild Wild West)
When I slice into the (Wild Wild West)
When I chop into the (Wild Wild West)
We blowing straight through that zombie's chest
We blowing straight through with Wild Frank West
So anyway, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record is pretty fun — I wouldn't rearrange a Will Smith song if it wasn't. If you've played either of the two previous Dead Rising games, you should already know what to expect: zombies, silliness, and zombie silliness.
The opening cinematic shows the rise and fall of Frank West as a celebrity hero, up to and including how he ends up in Fortune City. I'm pretty sure this is an alternate universe and not a side story to Chuck Greene's adventures in Dead Rising 2 — you will save some of the same people, kill some of the same psychopaths, and so on. In fact, Off the Record is basically Capcom saying,
"Look, Frank West is a way better character than Chuck Greene, so how about we pretend that other game didn't happen, and you can play through Dead Rising 2 all over again as Frank West instead. Oh, and did you see our newest Street Fighter game? It's way different and better than the last 27 Street Fighters."
Frank and his story are more light hearted than Chuck's, and that's a welcomed change. Even though that annoying little jerk-off Katie isn't around to worry about, it turns out that Frank himself is infected, so you still have to scavenge for Zombrex. In fact, your first mission is to go find some Zombrex before you go full-fledged zombie crazy. The fact that Frank is infected is apparently a secret, yet everyone in the game seems to know about it anyway. They must be psychic.
The same timeline exists in Off the Record as well. You have three days to rescue people and uncover this whole conspiracy plot, all the while searching for Zombrex, and then the military arrives and spoiler spoiler spoiler. Of course, you could just ignore all of that responsibility and play through the new Sandbox Mode.
Sandbox mode is perhaps the biggest reason to pick up this game. There is no time limit. There is no need to search for Zombrex. The other survivors are people to kill instead of people to rescue. There are Challenges scattered all over the mall that task you with killing a certain number of zombies, collecting a certain amount of PP, getting from A to B as fast as you can, etc. All of these challenges can be attempted as many times as you'd like and earn you cash bonuses. Your character progress is also shared between Story Mode and Sandbox Mode, so everything you earn in the game can be utilized in both modes.
Both modes also feature a new Checkpoint system that careless noobs will appreciate. Oh shit, you died and didn't save your game in the past two hours? Normally, that means you are going to start over or redo those last two hours, but with the new Checkpoints, you may not be as screwed as your imprudent ass normally would be. I guess that might be progress.

Earlier this month, the Kalamazoo City Commission approved the concept of placing a statue of Abraham Lincoln in Bronson Park.
The statue would commemorate Lincoln's speech in the park in 1856 — his only known visit to Michigan.
The idea of a statue of Lincoln in Bronson Park seems entirely appropriate to me. He was one of our greatest presidents and he is such a unifier in that he means so much to so many people it makes a lot of sense to honor him in the heart of Kalamazoo.
That said, this idea of erecting a statute in what is in essence our town square brings mind to another thought I've been kicking around for a while.
How about a swing set in Bronson Park?
I know, I know. We've already got enough clutter there, the last thing we need is more stuff, right? We've got plaques and a stage and a fountain and sculptures.
But I think a simple play structure for children, such as a swing set, would speak volumes.
It would show that we are not a city living in the past, only interested in enshrining those who've gone before us. Don't get me wrong. I think it is incredibly important to remember and learn from our history.
But I do find it a little odd that Bronson Park has a wonderful sculpture of children playing, yet has no proper place for children to play.
I'm not advocating that we turn the park into a playground. However, since it marks the center of our community and symbolizes so much — from our roots as the village of Bronson to our rejuvenation following the 1980 tornado — it feels right to me that it also openly welcome younger people who will one day lead our community.
For special events, such as New Year's Fest and the annual tree-lighting ceremony, Bronson Park is an overtly family-friendly location. In the spring, when the Kalamazoo Public Library hosts its "Ready to Read" program, hundreds of pre-schoolers fill the park. Those are special occasions when Bronson Park really fulfills its role as our town green.
And with the library just across the street, off the southeast corner of the park, it seems only natural that we provide an outdoor place for our children to play.
I don't know. It's just an idea I've had rattling around.
I've mentioned before my belief that Kalamazoo needs more baby swings in its city parks. I see Kalamazoo's ability to embrace families on the recreational front as a challenge to expand upon and fully realize The Kalamazoo Promise college scholar program.
I don't think it's incompatible, at all, that Bronson Park be both a place where we honor and learn our history while also making it a place where our children can have some fun and be free.

Spikes triple the fun
From staff reports
STATE COLLEGE – Austin Gomber went a career-long seven innings on the mound for his first professional win as the State College Spikes shut out the Williamsport Crosscutters 6-0 on Wednesday night at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
The win and Hudson Valley's loss means the Spikes (44-27) are just one game back of the top seed in the New York-Penn League playoffs with five games remaining. State College is also now a game up on Tri-City for the second seed in the four-team format.
Gomber (1-2) struck out seven batters total and twice struck out the side in order as he scattered four hits in the victory. The St. Louis Cardinals' 2014 fourth-round draft choice unofficially threw 74 pitches on the night, 52 of them for strikes.
Jeff Rauh finished the shutout with two scoreless innings in which he allowed three hits, a walks and a hit batsman. Rauh loaded the bases with no outs in the eight, but escaped the jam with two foulouts and a groundout.
State College appeared to take the lead in the third inning, but Robelys Reyes was called out for missing first base on what would have been a run-scoring double. The Spikes took the lead for real in the fourth when Nick Thompson tripled for the first time as a professional to knock in Danny Diekroeger. Thompson then scored on Jake Stone's sacrifice fly to make it 2-0, State College.
Diekroeger, who led off the fourth with a single, extended his Spikes-record hitting streak to 21 games with the hit.
The Spikes added two more runs in the sixth on an error and Stone's first triple of the year, then finished the scoring with a two-out triple from Reyes and another run via an error.
Reyes went 3-for-5 and scored two runs, while Jhohan Acevedo went 2-for-4 on the night.
Williamsport (32-39) starter Alejandro Arteaga (1-8) took the loss despite a quality start in which he yielded four runs, two of them earned, on five hits over six innings of work. Arteaga also struck out three in the effort.
Cord Sandberg and Jose Pujols each collected multiple hits for the Crosscutters.
Thursday, the Spikes and Crosscutters finish their two-game mini-series at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park with a 7:05 p.m. matchup. State College will send right-hander Daniel Poncedeleon (2-3) to the mound to face Williamsport right-hander Ricardo Pinto (1-4).

A respected international panel of scientists says cell phones are possible cancer-causing agents, putting them in the same category as the pesticide DDT, gasoline engine exhaust and coffee.
The classification was issued today by the International Agency for Research on Cancer after a review of dozens of published studies. The agency is an arm of the World Health Organization and its assessment now goes to WHO and national health agencies for possible guidance on cell phone use.
After a weeklong meeting on the type of electromagnetic radiation found in cell phones, microwaves and radar, the expert panel said there was limited evidence that cellphone use was linked to two types of brain tumors and inadequate evidence to draw conclusions for other cancers.
"We found some threads of evidence telling us how cancers might occur, but there were acknowledged gaps and uncertainties," said Jonathan Samet of the University of Southern California, the panel's chairman.
"The WHO's verdict means there is some evidence linking mobile phones to cancer but it is too weak to draw strong conclusions from," said Ed Yong, head of health information at Cancer Research U.K. "If such a link exists, it is unlikely to be a large one."
Classifying agents as "possibly carcinogenic" doesn't mean they automatically cause cancer and some experts said the ruling shouldn't change people's cell phone habits.
The same cancer research agency lists alcoholic drinks as a known carcinogen and night shift work as a probable carcinogen. Anyone's risk for cancer depends on many factors, from genetic makeup to the amount and length of time of an exposure.
"I have my doubts on how conclusive the data are at this stage, but the data we really want we don't really have," said Daniel Wartenberg, a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Medicine and Dentistry-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
Wartenberg's main research area is high-tension power lines. He said science has shown links between cancer and exposure to those lines, which emit radiation similar to cell phones.
But with cell phones, he said, a variety of factors — including the level of radiation and the distance from cell phone towers — leaves the cancer link undetermined, though it's a definite concern, he said.
"It takes a long time for scientists to come around," Wartenberg said.
Last year, results of a large study found no clear link between cell phones and cancer. But some advocacy groups contend the study raised serious concerns because it showed a hint of a possible connection between very heavy phone use and glioma, a rare but often deadly form of brain tumor. However, the numbers in that subgroup weren't sufficient to make the case.
The study was controversial because it began with people who already had cancer and asked them to recall how often they used their cellphones more than a decade ago.
Cell phones send signals to nearby towers via radio frequency waves, a form of energy similar to FM radio waves and microwaves. But the radiation produced by cellphones cannot directly damage DNA and is different from stronger types of radiation like X-rays or ultraviolet light. At very high levels, radio frequency waves from cellphones can heat up body tissue, but that is not believed to damage human cells.
Some experts recommended people use a headset or earpiece if they are worried about the possible health dangers of cellphones. "If there is a risk, most of it goes away with a wireless earpiece," said Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society.
Brawley said people should focus on the real health hazards of cell phones.
"Cell phones may cause brain tumors but they kill far more people through automobile accidents," he said.
Some regular cell phone users say they've already taken precautions.
"I think twice... I actually don't let my son use (my cell phone) anymore," said Andrea Wank, of Short Hills,
Wank said she has done her own research on the potential risks posed by cell phones and as a result, only uses her landline at home and talks only with her cell's speaker phone.
"I never hold it up to my head and talk into it," she said.
Star-Ledger staff writers Seth Augenstein and Eunice Lee contributed to this report.

Ukemi & Connection w/ Kaizen Taki and George Ledyard
4-Day Seminar on
Ukemi and Connection
Kaizen Taki from Systema and George Ledyard from Aikido
The goal of this training is to offer up a new paradigm regarding ukemi for the Aikido practitioner. Ukemi is central to all aspects of Aikido. An understanding of proper ukemi is essential for development of higher level skills in Aikido, it is crucial to martial functionality, important for safe and healthy training, and can reveal important lessons on the spiritual side of he art.
This training is designed to show the practitioner how he or she can reprogram the mind / body to remove tension, recognize and transform fear, de-associate strong intention from tension mentally and physically, how to locate and move tension to create clear perception and provide complete freedom of movement. No art seems to have as much focus on this issue as Systema, the Russian martial art, and Kaizen Taki will preside over training that will use various breathing and movement exercises to imprint various principles. George Ledyard, Aikido 6th Dan and direct student of Mitsugi Saotome Sensei, will then take these various principles and show how we can put them into a form that is recognizably Aikido.
The end result should be increased ability to take ukemi that does not stress the body, to maintain composure throughout the interaction with the partner, to unify the role of uke and nage so that there is no difference between what the practitioner does in one role or the other, to understand that the Aikido interaction is about "connection" not aggression or collusion. The result should be a re-conceptualization of the role of uke as having responsibility for the learning and progress of the nage in the training interaction.
We think this is truly cutting edge Aikido training. It represents an attempt to bring elements from an art in which there are a number of very unique mind / body methodologies into our own art, Aikido, which would benefit greatly from a new perspective in these areas.
Limit of 30 attendees, open to Yudansha level Aikido students (or with special permission)

Coming soon to a magazine rack near you: Dog Fancy magazine, featuring Lucy the Lab from Cedar Springs.
Lucy won the grand prize in the national Eukanuba 28-day Challenge contest. Unleashed reported last month that the 2-year-old yellow Labrador retriever was one of five finalists and, shortly after that, Madeline Sagorski, Lucy's owner, was informed her dog had won.
"We've already done the photo shoot, so I've known for a while," Sagorski said Monday, the day the winner was announced. "The photo shoot was amazing. They brought lunch, goodies for Lucy, a video crew, photographers. There were lots of photos capturing the day. And Lucy got to go to the groomer, so she looked great."
The photo shoot, at Sagorski's parents Sand Lake home, was for a spread in Dog Fancy magazine's September issue, due on news stands in August. A behind-the-scenes video also was shot.
"The goal of the contest was to find the best example of a dog going from good to extraordinary as a result of our premium nutrition," Manuel Miyar, associate marketing director for Eukanuba, said in a press release. "Lucy is a fantastic example of a beautiful dog who with the right nutrition flourished in just 28 days. We're very proud to name Lucy a Eukanuba dog and look forward to sharing her advertising and magazine debut with America in the coming months."
Lucy also will appear in a print advertising campaign for Eukanuba, as a poster dog for the 28-day Challenge contest.
"They took some glamorous shots of Lucy and I'm excited to see those," Sagorski said. "Lucy did an awesome job. She was well behaved. They did some shots in the lake and in the field. It was fun for me, too."

RCMP in Happy Valley-Goose Bay have charged a 44-year-old man with impaired driving and driving with a blood alcohol level over 80 mg in 100 ml of blood.
According to the RCMP, officers on patrol observed a vehicle failing to stop at a stop sign in the town. As a result of this traffic stop, police say the driver's blood alcohol level was double the legal limit.
The suspect was arrested and later released to appear at Happy Valley-Goose Bay provincial court on Dec. 19.

Thanks for Danny Ruijters
Changed only the information on the compilation in the file PgcDemux.rc
- My first public release
|Post comment
It would be excellent if it could split PGC audio, one file per chapter.
It would be a great simple concert audio extraction tool instead of having to use DVDDecrypter.
Its the only shortcoming that makes I dont use it as often as I would have liked. :)
Thanks to the author from me as well, PgcDemux has served me well over the years - and continues to do so.
Excellent tool, very useful to me (once or twice, vital).
Just a few things to think about for future relases, minor one first, biggie second:
1. Try to reduce navigation between sessions. Best to save paths upon exist and restore them on launch. Most important would be the destination path.
2. The ability to mass-demux individual cells into individual files/file sets would be of enormous value to me, since many of my projects involved large numbers of tiny clips.
Good work!
This is a nice little tool, I have always wondered how to demux an audio stream from an already authored dvd,to replace with another. Well PgcDemux, does the job very wel. Demuxing the video and/or audio into seperate streams. Used with programs like Muxman and Voblanker, Pgcdemux works wonders for my post authoring jobs. Very fast,and very reliable!
the perfect tool to get all the content from your DVD.

I saw the update & thought "Oh cool, a little jungle for the easter eggs" and I had the volume kinda high (i was listening to music) & jumped outa my seat lol. Anyway great "jingle" lol.
Im sure someone has already suggested this but just in case, how about u try and make the skateboard ride able? Im sure that could be an easy way to get around the inside areas. Also i just had an idea writing this: how about an adrenaline mode? Like when you kill alot of zombies your adrenaline goes up and you can plow threw zombies and rip them apart?

Department: Department of English
Collection: UNT Theses and Dissertations
- Ability Grouping in Secondary English
- This thesis discusses the pros and cons of grouping by ability in secondary English. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc130279/
- Absalom, Absalom! A Study of Structure
- The conclusion drawn from this study is that the arrangement of material in Absalom, Absalom! is unified and purposeful. The structure evokes that despair that is the common denominator of mankind. It reveals both the bond between men and the separation of men; and though some of the most dramatic episodes in the novel picture the union of men in brotherly love, most of the material and certainly the arrangement of the material emphasize the estrangement of men. In addition, by juxtaposing chapters, each separated from the others by its own structural and thematic qualities, Faulkner places a burden of interpretation on the reader suggestive of the burden of despair that overwhelms the protagonists of the novel. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc164623/
- The Abuse of Confidence as a Major Theme in the Novels of Henry James
- All of the aforementioned factors--love, money, the abuse of confidence, the guilt growing out of it, the response of the victim--contribute to the moral view constantly evolving towards an ultimate statement in the three novels of James's maturity. This thesis will attempt to explicate in full that statement. For James's theme of abuse of confidence, together with all of its elements, was in itself only the vehicle of a finely attuned moral awareness. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc130757/
- Across Borders and Barlines: Chicana/o Literature, Jazz Improvisation, and Contrapuntal Solidarity
- In this study, I examine Chicana/o writings and Black and Brown musical traditions as they entwine in urban centers and inform local visions of inclusion and models of social change. By analyzing literature and music from South Texas, Southern California, and Northeastern Michigan, I detail how the social particularities of each zone inform Chicana/o cultural productions rooted in the promise of empowerment and the possibility of cross-cultural solidarity. I assert that highlighting localized variations on these themes amplifies contrapuntal solidarities specific to each region, the relationship between different, locally conceived conceptions of Chicana/o identity, and the interplay between Brown and Black aesthetic practices in urban centers near national borders. Through literary critical and ethnomusicological frameworks, I engage the rhetorical patterns that link poetry, jazz improvisation, essays, musical playlists, and corridos to illumine a web of discourses helping to establish the idiosyncratic yet complimentary cultural mores that shape localized social imaginaries in the United States. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc500033/

- The Afro-British Slave Narrative: The Rhetoric of Freedom in the Kairos of Abolition
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
The dissertation argues that the development of the British abolition movement was based on the abolitionists' perception that their actions were kairotic; they attempted to shape their own kairos by taking temporal events and reinterpreting them to construct a kairotic process that led to a perceived fulfillment: abolition. Thus, the dissertation examines the rhetorical strategies used by white abolitionists to construct an abolitionist kairos that was designed to produce salvation for white Britons more than it was to help free blacks. The dissertation especially examines the three major texts produced by black persons living in England during the late eighteenth centuryIgnatius Sancho's Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho (1782), Ottobauh Cugoano's Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery (1787), and Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African (1789)to illustrate how black rhetoric was appropriated by whites to fulfill their own kairotic desires. By examining the rhetorical strategies employed in both white and black rhetorics, the dissertation illustrates how the abolitionists thought the movement was shaped by, and how they were shaping the movement through, kairotic time. While the dissertation contends that the abolition movement was rhetorically designed to provide redemption, and thus salvation, it illustrates that the abolitionist's intent was not merely to save the slave, but to redeem blacks first in the eyes of white Christians by opening blacks to an understanding and acceptance of God. Perhaps more importantly, abolitionists would use black salvation to buy back their own souls and the soul of their nation in the eyes of God in order to regain their own salvation lost in the slave trade. But ironically, they had to appear to be saving others to save themselves. So white abolitionists used the black narratives to persuade their overwhelmingly white audience that slavery was as bad for them as it was for the African slave. And in the process, a corpus of black writing was produced that gives current readers two glimpses of one world. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2278/
- After the Planes
- The dissertation consists of a critical preface and a novel. The preface analyzes what it terms "polyvocal" novels, or novels employing multiple points of view, as well as "layered storytelling," or layers of textuality within novels, such as stories within stories. Specifically, the first part of the preface discusses polyvocality in twenty-first century American novels, while the second part explores layered storytelling in novels responding to World War II or the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The preface analyzes the advantages and difficulties connected to these techniques, as well as their aptitude for reflecting the fractured, disconnected, and subjective nature of the narratives we construct to interpret traumatic experiences. It also acknowledges the necessity—despite its inherent limitations—of using language to engage with this fragmentation and cope with its challenges. The preface uses numerous novels as examples and case studies, and it also explores these concepts and techniques in relation to the process of writing the novel After the Planes. After the Planes depicts multiple generations of a family who utilize storytelling as a means to work through grief, hurt, misunderstanding, and loss—whether from interpersonal conflicts or from war. Against her father's wishes, a young woman moves in with her nearly-unknown grandfather, struggling to understand the rifts in her family and how they have shaped her own identity. She reads a book sent to her by her father, which turns out to be his story of growing up in the years following World War II. The book was intercepted and emended by her grandfather, who inserts his own commentary throughout, complicating her father's hopes of reconciliation. The novel moves between two main narratives, one set primarily in 1951 and the other in the days and weeks immediately prior to September 11, 2001. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc115051/
- AGenesis: A Novel
- AGenesis is a novel of "postmortal fiction" set entirely in an afterlife. Nessie, a recently dead woman, accidentally kills an already-dead man, and in the confusion that follows, sets out to discover how he could have died and what after-afterlife he might have gone to. During her travels, she is raped and then help captive by a city of tormented souls; she descends into madness until rescued by children, and she and her newborn but "undead" daughter set out again, this time to find the end of the afterlife. Nessie's daughter eventually seeks a way to enter a living world she's never known, while Nessie tries to end her suffering and find peace. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc5119/
- Alchemies
- This thesis consists of a collection of poems and a critical preface. The preface is a discussion of Elizabeth Bishop's descriptive mode, as demonstrated by three of her poems: "Sandpiper," "The Monument," and "Santarém." I argue for Bishop's descriptions as creative acts, and examine the gestures that help her make the reader aware of the shaping power she exercises. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc283793/
- Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936) the Man and His Work
- The purpose of this thesis is to "delve into the life and poetry of A. E. Housman to try to discover, not what made Housman the man he was, but why his poetry has appeal." p. 3 digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc108171/
- Alienation and Reconciliation in the Novels of John Steinbeck
- The purpose of this study is to show how, in a world with a system of values based on love, the characters in the novels of John Steinbeck are alienated and reconciled. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc130510/
- "Almost Astronauts": Short Stories
- In this collection of short stories, I abduct experiences from my own life and take them on an imaginative journey. I experiment with elements of structure and point of view, often incorporating the magical or surreal to amplify the narrator's internal landscape. As demonstrated in the title story, "Almost Astronauts," these stories all deal with a sudden and sometimes destructive shift in the narrator's perspective. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc115120/
- Always Painting the Future: Utopian Desire and the Women's Movement in Selected Works by United States Female Writers at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
- This study explores six utopias by female authors written at the turn of the twentieth century: Mary Bradley Lane's Mizora (1881), Alice Ilgenfritz Jones and Ella Merchant's Unveiling Parallel (1893), Eloise O. Richberg's Reinstern (1900), Lena J. Fry's Other Worlds (1905), Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland (1915), and Martha Bensley Bruère's Mildred Carver, USA (1919). While the right to vote had become the central, most important point of the movement, women were concerned with many other issues affecting their lives. Positioned within the context of the late nineteenth century women's rights movement, this study examines these "sideline" concerns of the movement such as home and gender-determined spheres, motherhood, work, marriage, independence, and self-sufficiency and relates them to the transforming character of female identity at the time. The study focuses primarily on analyzing the expression of female historical desire through utopian genre and on explicating the contradictory nature of utopian production. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc11060/
- Ambivalence in the Poetry of Robert Frost
- In this thesis an attempt will be made to demonstrate the existence and significance of some of the opposite pulls evidenced in Frost's poetry and to delineate some of the important areas in which they occur. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc130883/
- American Background in Longfellow's "The Song of Hiawatha"
- The background for "The Song of Hiawatha" is explicitly American, for Longfellow has preserved many legends, traditions, and customs of the aborigines with fidelity. As a whole, "The Song of Hiawatha" is a successful delineation of the aborigines of North America. Longfellow preserved the most interesting legends and supplemented them with accounts of Indian life. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83348/
- The American Businessman in the Novels and Stories of Henry James
- The critical interest in Henry James and his relationship with the "Gilded Age," or the "golden age of American business," indicates that a chronological study of the American businessman, as this character appears in James's fiction, may have some value. The term businessman in this study will simply be understood to mean a maker of money. To consider in detail all of James's writings would exceed the scope of this study; only those novels and stories which deal most obviously and directly with American businessmen will be included. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc131176/
- American Grotesque from Nineteenth Century to Modernism: the Latter's Acceptance of the Exceptional
- This dissertation explores a history of the grotesque and its meaning in art and literature along with those of its related term, the arabesque, since their co-existence, specifically in literature, is later treated by a well-known nineteenth-century American writer in Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque- Theories or views of the grotesque (used in literature), both in Europe and America, belong to twelve theorists of different eras, ranging from the sixteenth century to the present period, especially Modernism (approximately from 1910 to 1945)--Rabelais, Hegel, Scott, Wright, Hugo, Symonds, Ruskin, Santayana, Kayser, Bakhtin, (William Van) O'Connor, and Spiegel. My study examines the grotesque in American literature, as treated by both nineteenth-century writers--Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, and, significantly, by modernist writers--Anderson, West, and Steinbeck in Northern (or non-Southern) literature; Faulkner, McCullers, and (Flannery) O'Connor in Southern literature. I survey several novels and short stories of these American writers for their grotesqueries in characterization and episodes. The grotesque, as treated by these earlier American writers is often despised, feared, or mistrusted by other characters, but is the opposite in modernist fiction. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278030/
- The American in the Novels of Henry James
- For the purpose of analyzing James' interpretation of the American character, it is first necessary to study his individual Americans. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83614/
- American Literary Pragmatism : Lighting Out for the Territory
- This thesis discusses pragmatist philosophy in the nineteenth century and its effect on American literature of the time. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278511/
- "Among Waitresses": Stories and Essays
- The following collection represents the critical and creative work produced during my doctoral program in English. The dissertation consists of Part I, a critical preface, and Part II, a collection of seven short stories and two nonfiction essays. Part I, which contains the critical preface entitled "What to Say and How to Say It," examines the role of voice in discussions of contemporary literature. The critical preface presents a definition of voice and identifies examples of voice-driven writing in contemporary literature, particularly from the work of Mary Robison, Dorothy Allison, and Kathy Acker. In addition, the critical preface also discusses how the use of flavor, tone, and content contribute to voice, both in work of famous authors and in my own writing. In Part II of my dissertation, I present the creative portion of my work. Part II contains seven works of short fiction, titled "Among Waitresses," "The Lion Tamer," "Restoration Services," "Hospitality," "Blood Relation," "Managerial Timber," and "Velma A Cappella." Each work develops a voice-driven narrative through the use of flavor, tone, and content. Also, two nonfiction essays, titled "Fentanyl and Happy Meals" and "Tracks," close out the collection. "Fentanyl and Happy Meals" describes the impact of methamphetamine addiction on family relationships, while "Tracks" focuses on the degradation of the natural world by human waste and other forms of pollution. In total, this collection demonstrates my approach to both scholarly and creative writing, and I am grateful for the University of North Texas for the opportunity to develop academically and achieve my goals. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc28429/
- An Analysis of Conflicts in Mrs. Gaskell's "North and South"
- Both contemporary and modern critics recognize the industrial, regional, and personal conflicts in North and South. There are, however, other conflicts which Mrs. Gaskell treats and resolves. This study emphasizes inner struggles resulting from repressive Victorian sexual mores. An examination of conflicts at a deeper -level than has previously been attempted clarifies motivations of individual characters, reveals a conscious and unconscious pattern within the novel and gives a fuller appreciation of Mrs. Gaskell's psychological insight. Included for discussion are examples of the Victorian feminine stereotype and the use of religion as sexual sublimation. A major portion of the paper concerns the growth of the heroine, Margaret Hale, from repressed sexuality to an acceptance of womanhood in Victorian society. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc663759/
- An Analysis of Six Representative Women Characters in Edith Wharton's Novels
- For this study, an analysis will be made of six of Edith Wharton's heroines: Lily Bart, the luxury-loving, aristocratic heroine of The House of Mirth, who was destroyed by her own class; Ellen Olenska, who neither lost nor sought an established place in New York society, since it belonged to her, and she stayed there by the sacrifice of instinct and happiness; Anna Leath, a typical product of puritan New York, who suffered from having learned so thoroughly the rules of her generation; Halo Tarrant, who took love into her own hands and defied society but felt the strength of the social convention which shuts out the woman who does not play the game according to the rules; Undine Spragg, the social adventurer, who represents ambition, which Mrs. Wharton had come to recognize as the dominant characteristic of the new woman of America; and Sophy Viner, an American girl who, yielding to temptation, is plunged into insecurity because she comes into contact with Anna Leath and the rules of her world. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc75446/
- An Analysis of Some of Browning's Major Characters.
- This study aimed to show the variety and skill of Browning's portrayal of character and to prove that the unifying forces in his treatment of character is the development of the poet himself. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc29841/
- An analysis of the syntactic and lexical features of an Indian English oral narrative: A Pear Story study.
- This pilot study addresses the distribution of nonstandard syntactic and lexical features in Indian English (IE) across a homogeneous group of highly educated IE speakers. It is found that nonstandard syntactic features of article use, number agreement and assignment of verb argument structure do not display uniform intragroup distribution. Instead, a relationship is found between nonstandard syntactic features and the sociolinguistic variables of lower levels of exposure to and use of English found within the group. While nonstandard syntactic features show unequal distribution, nonstandard lexical features of semantic reassignment, and mass nouns treated as count nouns display a more uniform intragroup distribution. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc5123/
- Anglo-Saxon Charms
- The charms are among the oldest extant specimens of English prose and verse, and in their first form were undoubtedly of heathen origin. In the form in which they have been handed down they are much overlaid with Christian lore, but it is not difficult to recognize the primitive mythological strata. The charms have points of contact with medieval Latin literature, both in form and spirit; and yet they afford us glimpses of the Germanic past, and pictures of the everyday life of the Anglo-Saxons, not found in other Old English poetry. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83576/
- "The Angular Degrees of Freedom" and Other Stories
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
The preface, " Performing Brain Surgery: The Problematic Nature of Endings in Short Fiction," deals with the many and varied difficulties short story writers encounter when attempting to craft endings. Beginning with Raymond Carver and Flannery O'Connor and moving to my own work, I discuss some of the obscure criteria used to designate a successful ending, as well as the more concrete idea of the ending as a unifying element. Five short stories make up the remainder of this thesis: "In-between Girls," "Crocodile Man," "Surprising Things, Sometimes Amusing," "Good Jewelry," and "The Angular Degrees of Freedom." digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc700030/
- Animals-as-Trope in the Selected Fiction of Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
In this dissertation, I show how 20th century African-American women writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison utilize animals-as-trope in order to illustrate the writers' humanity and literary vision. In the texts that I have selected, I have found that animals-as-trope functions in two important ways: the first function of animal as trope is a pragmatic one, which serves to express the humanity of African Americans; and the second function of animal tropes in African-American women's fiction is relational and expresses these writers' "ethic of caring" that stems from their folk and womanist world view. Found primarily in slave narratives and in domestic fiction of the 19th and early 20th centuries, pragmatic animal metaphors and/or similes provide direct analogies between the treatment of African-Americans and animals. Here, these writers often engage in rhetoric that challenges pro-slavery apologists, who attempted to disprove the humanity of African-Americans by portraying them as animals fit to be enslaved. Animals, therefore, become the metaphor of both the abolitionist and the slavery apologist for all that is not human. The second function of animals-as-trope in the fiction of African-American women writers goes beyond the pragmatic goal of proving African-Americans's common humanity, even though one could argue that this goal is still present in contemporary African-American fiction. Animals-as-trope also functions to express the African-American woman writer's understanding that 1) all oppressions stem from the same source; 2) that the division between nature/culture is a false onethat a universal connection exists between all living creatures; and 3) that an ethic of caring, or relational epistemology, can be extended to include non-human animals. Twentieth-century African-American writers such as Hurston, Walker, and Morrison participate in what anthropologists term, "neototemism," which is the contemporary view that humankind is part of nature, or a vision that Morrison would most likely attribute to the "folk." This perspective places their celebration of the continuous relations between humans and animals within a spiritual, indeed, tribal, cosmological construction. What makes these particular writers primarily different from their literary mothers, however, is a stronger sense that they are reclaiming the past, both an African and African-American history. What I hope to contribute with this dissertation is a new perspective of African-American women writers' literary tradition via their usage of animals as an expression of their "ethic of caring" and their awareness that all oppression stems from a single source. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2227/

- Anne Brontë's New Women: Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall as Precursors of New Woman Fiction
Access: Use of this item is restricted to the UNT Community.
Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were published more than forty years before the appearance of the feminist type that the Victorians called the "New Woman;" yet, both novels contain characteristics of New Woman fiction. By considering how Brontë's novels foreshadow New Woman fiction, the reader of these novels can re-enact the "gentlest" Brontë as an influential feminist whose ideology informed the construction of the radical New Woman. Brontë, like the New Woman writers, incorporated autobiographical dilemmas into her fiction. By using her own experiences as a governess, Brontë constructs Agnes Grey's incongruent social status and a morally corrupt gentry and aristocracy through her depiction of not only Agnes's second employers, the Murrays, but also the morally debauched world that Helen enters upon her marriage to Arthur Huntingdon in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Moreover, Brontë incorporates her observations of Branwell's alcoholism and her own religious beliefs into The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. Although Brontë's novels contain autobiographical material, her heroines are fictional constructions that she uses to engage her readers with the woman question. Brontë accomplishes this engagement through her heroines' narrative re-enactments of fictional autobiographical dilemmas. Helen's diary and Agnes's diary-based narrative produce the pattern of development of the Bildungsroman and foreshadow the New Woman novelists' Kunstlerromans. Brontë's heroines anticipate the female artist as the protagonist of the New Woman Kunstlerromans. Agnes and Helen both invade the masculine domain of economic motive and are feminists who profess gender definitions that conflict with dominant Victorian ideology. Agnes questions her own femininity by internalizing the governess's status incongruence, and Helen's femininity is questioned by those around her. The paradoxical position of both heroines anticipates the debate about the nature and function of art in which the New Woman writers engaged. Through her reconciliation of the aesthetic and the political, Brontë, like the New Woman novelists who will follow, explores the contradiction between art and activism. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2834/

- Anti-Intellectualism in the Works of John Steinbeck
- There is evidence in Steinbeck's works of anti-intellectualism which is expressed by a somewhat maudlin handling of human emotions,and by a doggedly persistent attack on various intellectual types. This attitude is further revealed in Steinbeck's personal life by his abstention from any literary coteries or universities and his adamant refusal to discuss his life and works or offer his considerable talent to any institution of higher learning. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc163930/
- Antigravity
- This dissertation contains two parts: Part I, which discusses the elegy of possessive intent, a subgenre of the contemporary American elegy; and Part II, Antigravity, a collection of poems. English elegies have been closely rooted to a specific grief, making the poems closer to occasional poems. The poet—or at least the poet's speaker—seeks some kind of public consolation for (often) a private loss. The Americanized form does stray from the traditional elegy yet retains some of its characteristics. Some American elegies memorialize failed romantic relationships rather than the dead. In their memorials, these speakers seek a completion for the lack the broken relationship has created in the speakers' lives. What they can't replace, they substitute with something personal. As the contemporary poem becomes further removed from tradition, it's no surprise that the elegy has evolved as well. Discussions of elegies have never ventured into the type of elegy that concerns itself with the sort of unacknowledged loss found in some contemporary American poems of unrequited love. These poems all have speakers who willfully refuse to acknowledge the loss of their love-objects and strive to maintain control/ownership of their beloveds even in the face of rejection. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc149563/
- Anything Like Us
- Anything Like Us is a collection of poems with a critical introduction. In this introduction, I explore modern alternatives to Romantic and Neo-Romantic lyric expression. I conclude that a contemporary lyric that desires to be, in some fashion, about itself, must exhibit an acceptance of the mediating influences of time and language, while cultivating an inter-subjective point-of-view that does not insist too much on the authority of a single, coherent voice. The poems in Anything Like Us reflect, in both form and content, many of the conclusions advanced in the introduction. Nearly all the poems concern the desire for, and failure to find, meaningful connections in an uncertain world . digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3217/

- Asleep in the Arms of God
- A work of creative fiction in the form of a short novel, Asleep in the Arms of God is a limited-omniscient and omniscient narrative describing the experiences of a man named Wafer Roberts, born in Jack County, Texas, in 1900. The novel spans the years from 1900 to 1925, and moves from the Keechi Valley of North Texas, to Fort Worth and then France during World War One, and back again to the Keechi Valley. The dissertation opens with a preface, which examines the form of the novel, and regional and other aspects of this particular work, especially as they relate to the postmodern concern with fragmentation and conditional identity. Wafer confronts in the novel aspects of his own questionable history, which echo the larger concern with exploitative practices including racism, patriarchy, overplanting and overgrazing, and pollution, which contribute to and climax in the postmodern fragmentation. The novel attempts to make a critique of the exploitative rage of Western civilization. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2253/

- The Attitude of Mexican-Americans Toward Their Texas Spanish
- "The purpose of this study is to examine the attitude of Mexican Americans toward their Texas Spanish in order to determine if present educational policies are successful in promoting high self-concepts for Mexican-American students..the conclusion of this thesis [is] that a sizable number of Mexican-Americans do not have a positive self-image as speakers of their native language. It is suggested that the rejection of Spanish dialects which are different and distinct from the school standard is a major factor in causing a low self-image on the part of the speaker of a non-standard dialect."-- leaves 1,3. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc663826/

Our children, our community, and our economy will benefit from updating our school facilities.
Everyone in Aiken County shares the vision of our schools providing a quality education that prepares our children to become good citizens, to become self-reliant and to be prepared for employment in the 21st century economy. This is what our parents generation provided us, and we understand that it is right for us to do the same for the generations that follow us.
In November, we will be given the opportunity to take an important step in meeting that obligation by voting for the 1 percent sales tax proposal to fund critically needed improvements to our school facilities. Many of our facilities are old and functionally obsolete.
There are those who comment that buildings do not educate students. While that is undeniably true, it is also true that school facilities are an important element in the delivery of a quality education. We know that buildings have long, useful lives. However, eventually every building must be replaced even while we take care to maintain and upgrade it along the way.
This is especially true today, when technological infrastructure must be in place to allow students to master the digital tools that are omnipresent in the world of today and tomorrow.
The outdated condition of our schools is very apparent to outsiders who are considering moving into our county. Our realtors have been telling us that they are losing sales as young families opt for homes in Lexington County or Columbia County in Georgia. These communities have done a better job of keeping their school facilities updated. Now, the recently released Chamber of Commerce Benchmarking Study has documented that this is happening to a much greater extent than we imagined.
What do these prospective new residents see when they look at our schools? They see that most of our school buildings are 40-60 years old, with many functional problems due to their age. One of our schools is about 90 years old. They see a proliferation of portable classrooms. They perceive the condition of our schools as an indication of the value we place on educating our children.
We all should be concerned about the economic impact of a significant number of families with school-aged children turning away from Aiken.
We lose out on the social vitality that these productive, well compensated, tax-paying new people would bring to our communities. It depresses real estate values and retail sales. It impacts jobs. It reduces tax revenues.
We have the potential for the quality of our educational experience and facilities to be something that draws young families to Aiken. Aikens schools could be another reason families, who are relocating into the area for jobs, choose Aiken as their home.
None of us like to see any increase in taxes, whether it be on property, income or sales. As a small government conservative, this is not something that I would normally recommend. However, not every tax expenditure is a waste of the hard working taxpayers wages.
In Aiken, we are fortunate to bear a relatively low local taxation burden compared to nearby counties. Although we rank 13th in per capita income among counties in South Carolina, our millage rate is among the lowest, well below the average in the state and area. Even so, the 1 percent tax proposal has a provision for one tenth of the revenues collected to be used to provide tax relief for property owners.
We can afford this necessary expense, especially as nonresidents are projected to pay 30 percent of the revenues collected.
The time is now to face up to our responsibility to invest in new updated school facilities in Aiken County. Please make sure you come out to support our schools, our children and our community with your vote in support of the 1 percent sales tax proposal. It is simply the right thing to do.
Stephen Wilson was the 2013 chair of the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce.

Despite the sudden hospitalization of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong in Italy over the weekend, the band will perform at MTV's Video Music Awards tomorrow night.
After arriving in Los Angeles Monday, Armstrong indicated to photographers that the culprit had been his voice, but details of his ailment were never released. The band had to cancel its appearance at a Bologna music festival.
Meanwhile, MTV moved the VMA broadcast up one hour to avoid conflicting with President Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. The show will air from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., with the speech set for sometime after 10 p.m. The rest of the lineup at the VMA includes Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Frank Ocean and Pink.

Hit the gym yesterday for the first time since returning from the Midwest, and my oh my did it feel good. At some point over the last year or two, working out has finally started to feel like a thing I do for myself. Not for my doctor, not for sexist notions of female beauty, not for feminist notions of female strength. For me, because I'm the only one who can do this for myself, and if not now, when? (With apologies to Hillel, who would have been a great personal trainer. Shammai, not so much.)
Most of us pick up dysfunctional messages toward food, exercise, and/or our bodies when we are growing up. One that held me back for a long time was the unconscious belief that if I wasn't good at exercise, I didn't have the right to do it. That was certainly what the peers who teased and bullied me for my embarrassingly incompetent attempts at team sports or solo dancing appeared to be suggesting, and going along with their assessment seemed to be the wisest and easiest course of action.
As an adult, of course, I didn't fear getting a wedgie from the 75-year-old grandmother at my neighborhood co-ed, gay-friendly YMCA featuring water aerobics for the seniors and day care for the stay-at-home-moms. But I still hung on to the notion that taking up space in a gym or scheduling time to work out was something I had to earn. That exercise was a privilege, not a right. So I was prone to hugely overdoing it in an attempt to become as fit as the kind of person who deserved to belong to a gym. Which of course led to burnout and disillusionment when I didn't transform into Linda Hamilton (the early-1990s touchstone for female kickassery) in 10 days.
I give a lot of credit to my gym, Healthworks, for slowly turning this attitude around. There was never any major "aha" moment, just a gradual realization that exercise doesn't have to be about self-judging and angst and feelings of painful duty. That it can be, and should be, a place to get away from mental minefields and focus entirely on the moment, the physical, the subjective. I wish it hadn't taken me quite so long to get there, but I'm glad I did.
