Download or read book Clueless in L A written by D.J. Martin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name is Matt Diamond, not that that really matters. I spent a little over ten years in the LA Police Department before I woke up one morning and asked myself, What the hell am I doing? This is a dirty business and when I worked in drugs and alcohol before moving over to homicide, it became clear that no one really cared a shit about what I was doing. Now, if they didnt care, why should I give a damn either? The pay was minimum wage, there was little time to myself, and sleep came less and less every day. The day I turned in my badge was much more exciting than when I put it on that first day. When we threw our hats in the air at the Academy, I felt like I could make a difference. Wrong again! When you join the police department you have the feeling you can make a difference, but the day you resign you know you didnt make a dent in this sorry, no thanks, society. You often wondered whom you were trying to protect and found out it was you. Thats old news. This was a new beginning for me: I received my license as a freelance private detective completely on my own. Nobody to tell me where to go every morning at briefing. No shooting in east LA for me to investigate for the 100th time. If you are ever in that area, it is a real war zone but you dont know who you are supposed to be fighting. Killing each other, the blacks against the Mexicans, the police trying to bring order where no one really wanted it. Believe me, it is no place for some guy like me who, I felt, was dedicated to preventing such things. You couldnt get a witness to point out a shooter for fear they might be the next victim. Tell me one person who really cared what went on in that hell hole, and I will show you a liar. The name on my fleabag so-called office now read Matt Diamond, Private Investigator. Not only was this my office, it was also where I lived. There was a pull-down bed that I never really put back in the wall, a small refrigerator in one corner, a really nice hot plate and a small bath with shower and toilet. But it was mine, and the rent was paid for a year due to the vacation money I received when leaving the LAPD.

Posing online as an alluring elf princess, she attempts to seduce and trick Roger into confessing. But the more they connect both online and off, the more Amber battles her own growing feelings for her enemy. Kind yet lonely Roger finds his anonymous online persona allows him to open up in ways real life doesn't. When he discovers the beguiling elf princess is none other than Amber Sinclair, part of him knows he should retreat. But he's drawn to her like a moth to a flame, even as allegations roil about his company stealing her work. As Roger and Amber untangle secrets, wounds, and sizzling chemistry, their journey refuses to follow a simple path. Friends provide laughter and support, but Roger and Amber face their deepest struggles alone. With trust hard won after betrayal, can fierce forgiveness triumph over simmering anger? When a dramatic revelation provides the ultimate test, both Roger and Amber are faced with their most difficult choice. Will doubts and pride prevail, or will reckless hearts win out despite the risks? What will it take for a clueless billionaire and a guarded coder to find their happily ever after?

Download or read book Clueless in Academe written by Gerald Graff and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gerald Graff argues that our schools and colleges make the intellectual life seem more opaque, narrowly specialized, and beyond normal learning capacities than it is or needs to be. Left clueless in the academic world, many students view the life of the mind as a secret society for which only an elite few qualify. In a refreshing departure from standard diatribes against academia, Graff shows how academic unintelligibility is unwittingly reinforced not only by academic jargon and obscure writing, but by the disconnection of the curriculum and the failure to exploit the many connections between academia and popular culture. Finally, Graff offers a wealth of practical suggestions for making the culture of ideas and arguments more accessible to students, showing how students can enter the public debates that permeate their lives.
