Target: Sally Jewell, Secretary of the Interior, U.S. Department of the Interior
Goal: List the rusty patched bumble bee as an endangered species
The rusty patched bumble bee population has diminished 87% in recent years and faces impending extinction. Despite an official request to protect this bee under the Endangered Species Act, governmental response has been absent. Protection for this pollinating species must be granted now.
The rusty patched bumble bee belongs to the same family as the honey bee but has a rusty patch of orange on its back, visible on the abdomen between its wings. This bee is a pollinator to many crops including apples, cranberries, peppers and tomatoes. Bumble bees have a special talent for getting the most out of their visits to flowers. Grasping the pollen producing section of a flower with their mandibles, the worker bee flexes its wing muscles to produce a buzzing sound. The resulting vibration causes pollen to be released that would otherwise be trapped. Some plants, such as peppers and tomatoes, need this type of pollination in order to thrive.
In addition to pesticides and habitat decline, the bumble bee risks contamination by disease and parasites carried by commercially-raised bees. The rusty patched bumble bee originally ranged throughout Southern Ontario and the Northeastern states, west to the Dakotas and south to Georgia. It is now missing from most of its original habitat. Within the past few years there have been very limited sightings within Maryland, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and in Canada only at Pinery Provincial Park on Lake Huron. Canada has already listed the rusty patched bumble bee on its endangered list. There is no doubt this population is in grave and immediate danger.
The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation petitioned the Department of Interior to have the rusty patched bumble bee added as an endangered species and the request has gone ignored. Without protection of the Endangered Species Act, the few remaining pockets of this beneficial creature will undoubtedly go extinct in the foreseeable future; urge the Department of the Interior to protect this critical bee now.
Dear Ms. Jewell,
You must immediately take action and grant protection to the rusty patched bumble bee under the Endangered Species Act, as requested by The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation.
You must act at once as the rusty patched bumble bee is in severe danger from loss of habitat, pesticides, parasites and disease. This valued pollinator has dwindled to approximately 87% of its former existence. This species needs your help now, it cannot wait any longer. Without your protection, the rusty patched bumble bee will surely go extinct.

The upshot of Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on Tuesday was "don't expect much."
Bernanke reiterated the Federal Reserve's intention to keep interest rates low for the next two years, and included perfunctory language about being prepared to act if the situation worsens, but there was no indication that more dramatic action (like asset purchases or an announcement that the Fed will tolerate more inflation to allow unemployment to fall) is forthcoming:
Economic growth is also being supported by the exceptionally low level of the target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 1/4 percent and the Committee's forward guidance regarding the anticipated path of the funds rate. As I reported in my February testimony, the FOMC extended its forward guidance at its January meeting, noting that it expects that economic conditions--including low rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through late 2014. The Committee has maintained this conditional forward guidance at its subsequent meetings. Reflecting its concerns about the slow pace of progress in reducing unemployment and the downside risks to the economic outlook, the Committee made clear at its June meeting that it is prepared to take further action as appropriate to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability.
Bernanke noted that a deterioration of Europe's economy could weaken the U.S. economy considerably and cause the Fed to reexamine this policy. He also advised Congress to take action to avoid the fiscal cliff while reducing the deficit in the long term:
That recovery could be endangered by the confluence of tax increases and spending reductions that will take effect early next year if no legislative action is taken. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that, if the full range of tax increases and spending cuts were allowed to take effect--a scenario widely referred to as the fiscal cliff--a shallow recession would occur early next year and about 1-1/4 million fewer jobs would be created in 2013.
The most effective way that the Congress could help to support the economy right now would be to work to address the nation's fiscal challenges in a way that takes into account both the need for long-run sustainability and the fragility of the recovery.

Gainesville- The Florida Gator volleyball team is ranked 18th to start the year and picked to finish third in the SEC by league coaches, both of which suggest the Gators may be (at least for this program) a rebuilding phase.

The State of Maine left port in Castine, Wednesday.
And they're off!
"Everybody's itching to get out," says Frank Ridge, Junior at Maine Maritime Academy.
244 Maine Maritime Academy students embarked on their two month bi-continental voyage.
"It's a huge day for the students," said Bill Brennan, President of the Academy.
The Mariners will do the tasks of engineers, ship men and navigators to bring their vessel into three international ports of call in Italy, Germany and Iceland.
"Well we're going try to learn how to run the ship with as little assistance as possible. It's a little bit scary," Ridge said.
Students hug parents goodbye, and parents waive from the dock.
"We're excited about him having this opportunity, he's excited," said Frank's dad, Marty Ridge.
It's hands-on programs like this one that give Maine Maritime more than a 90% job acceptance rate. The highest in the state of Maine.
"We really couldn't operate as successfully as we do without the opportunity to spend time on board the ship," Brennan explained.
"They are all employed and they are all well employed," Ridge said.
Juniors aboard teach the Freshmen the ins and outs of running the ship, getting them ready for future careers.
"It's basically our job to train them and teach them everything they need to know and put everything they've learned in school this year to use," said Junior, Tanner Pidgeon.
Students say they're confident they'll have plenty of marine related careers after graduation.
"Work my way up to be master of a ship," said John Parrinello, Junior.
"I'd like to run a port," said freshman, Tara Gauntt.
"I hope to commission as an officer in the Navy or Coast Guard," said Pidgeon.

Read an Excerpt
A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples. These apples were always counted, and about the time when they began to grow ripe it was found that every night one of them was gone. The king became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree. The gardener set his eldest son to watch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep, and in the morning another of the apples was missing. Then the second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep, and in the morning another apple was gone. Then the third son offered to keep watch; but the gardener at first would not let him, for fear some harm should come to him: however, at last he consented, and the young man laid himself under the tree to watch. As the clock struck twelve he heard a rustling noise in the air, and a bird came flying that was of pure gold; and as it was snapping at one of the apples with its beak, the gardener's son jumped up and shot an arrow at it. But the arrow did the bird no harm; only it dropped a golden feather from its tail, and then flew away. The golden feather was brought to the king in the morning, and all the council was called together. Everyone agreed that it was worth more than all the wealth of the kingdom: but the king said, 'One feather is of no use to me, I must have the whole bird.'
Then the gardener's eldest son set out and thought to find the golden bird very easily; and when he had gone but a little way, he came to a wood, and by the side of the wood he saw a fox sitting; so he took his bow and made ready to shoot at it. Then the fox said, 'Do not shoot me, forI will give you good counsel; I know what your business is, and that you want to find the golden bird. You will reach a village in the evening; and when you get there, you will see two inns opposite to each other, one of which is very pleasant and beautiful to look at: go not in there, but rest for the night in the other, though it may appear to you to be very poor and mean.' But the son thought to himself, 'What can such a beast as this know about the matter?' So he shot his arrow at the fox; but he missed it, and it set up its tail above its back and ran into the wood. Then he went his way, and in the evening came to the village where the two inns were; and in one of these were people singing, and dancing, and feasting; but the other looked very dirty, and poor. 'I should be very silly,' said he, 'if I went to that shabby house, and left this charming place'; so he went into the smart house, and ate and drank at his ease, and forgot the bird, and his country too.
Time passed on; and as the eldest son did not come back, and no tidings were heard of him, the second son set out, and the same thing happened to him. He met the fox, who gave him the good advice: but when he came to the two inns, his eldest brother was standing at the window where the merrymaking was, and called to him to come in; and he could not withstand the temptation, but went in, and forgot the golden bird and his country in the same manner.
Time passed on again, and the youngest son too wished to set out into the wide world to seek for the golden bird; but his father would not listen to it for a long while, for he was very fond of his son, and was afraid that some ill luck might happen to him also, and prevent his coming back. However, at last it was agreed he should go, for he would not rest at home; and as he came to the wood, he met the fox, and heard the same good counsel. But he was thankful to the fox, and did not attempt his life as his brothers had done; so the fox said, 'Sit upon my tail, and you will travel faster.' So he sat down, and the fox began to run, and away they went over stock and stone so quick that their hair whistled in the wind.
When they came to the village, the son followed the fox's counsel, and without looking about him went to the shabby inn and rested there all night at his ease. In the morning came the fox again and met him as he was beginning his journey, and said, 'Go straight forward, till you come to a castle, before which lie a whole troop of soldiers fast asleep and snoring: take no notice of them, but go into the castle and pass on and on till you come to a room, where the golden bird sits in a wooden cage; close by it stands a beautiful golden cage; but do not try to take the bird out of the shabby cage and put it into the handsome one, otherwise you will repent it.' Then the fox stretched out his tail again, and the young man sat himself down, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.
Before the castle gate all was as the fox had said: so the son went in and found the chamber where the golden bird hung in a wooden cage, and below stood the golden cage, and the three golden apples that had been lost were lying close by it. Then thought he to himself, 'It will be a very droll thing to bring away such a fine bird in this shabby cage'; so he opened the door and took hold of it and put it into the golden cage. But the bird set up such a loud scream that all the soldiers awoke, and they took him prisoner and carried him before the king. The next morning the court sat to judge him; and when all was heard, it sentenced him to die, unless he should bring the king the golden horse which could run as swiftly as the wind; and if he did this, he was to have the golden bird given him for his own.
So he set out once more on his journey, sighing, and in great despair, when on a sudden his friend the fox met him, and said, 'You see now what has happened on account of your not listening to my counsel. I will still, however, tell you how to find the golden horse, if you will do as I bid you. You must go straight on till you come to the castle where the horse stands in his stall: by his side will lie the groom fast asleep and snoring: take away the horse quietly, but be sure to put the old leathern saddle upon him, and not the golden one that is close by it.' Then the son sat down on the fox's tail, and away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled in the wind.
All went right, and the groom lay snoring with his hand upon the golden saddle. But when the son looked at the horse, he thought it a great pity to put the leathern saddle upon it. 'I will give him the good one,' said he; 'I am sure he deserves it.' As he took up the golden saddle the groom awoke and cried out so loud, that all the guards ran in and took him prisoner, and in the morning he was again brought before the court to be judged, and was sentenced to die. But it was agreed, that, if he could bring thither the beautiful princess, he should live, and have the bird and the horse given him for his own.
Then he went his way very sorrowful; but the old fox came and said, 'Why did not you listen to me? If you had, you would have carried away both the bird and the horse; yet will I once more give you counsel. Go straight on, and in the evening you will arrive at a castle. At twelve o'clock at night the princess goes to the bathing-house: go up to her and give her a kiss, and she will let you lead her away; but take care you do not suffer her to go and take leave of her father and mother.' Then the fox stretched out his tail, and so away they went over stock and stone till their hair whistled again.
As they came to the castle, all was as the fox had said, and at twelve o'clock the young man met the princes going to the bath and gave her the kiss, and she agreed to run away with him, but begged with many tears that he would let her take leave of her father. At first he refused, but she wept still more and more, and fell at his feet, till at last he consented; but the moment she came to her father's house the guards awoke and he was taken prisoner again.
Then he was brought before the king, and the king said, 'You shall never have my daughter unless in eight days you dig away the hill that stops the view from my window.' Now this hill was so big that the whole world could not take it away: and when he had worked for seven days, and had done very little, the fox came and said. 'Lie down and go to sleep; I will work for you.' And in the morning he awoke and the hill was gone; so he went merrily to the king, and told him that now that it was removed he must give him the princess.
Then the king was obliged to keep his word, and away went the young man and the princess; and the fox came and said to him, 'We will have all three, the princess, the horse, and the bird.' 'Ah!' said the young man, 'that would be a great thing, but how can you contrive it?'
"If you will only listen,' said the fox, 'it can be done. When you come to the king, and he asks for the beautiful princess, you must say, "Here she is!" Then he will be very joyful; and you will mount the golden horse that they are to give you, and put out your hand to take leave of them; but shake hands with the princess last. Then lift her quickly on to the horse behind you; clap your spurs to his side, and gallop away as fast as you can.'
All went right: then the fox said, 'When you come to the castle where the bird is, I will stay with the princess at the door, and you will ride in and speak to the king; and when he sees that it is the right horse, he will bring out the bird; but you must sit still, and say that you want to look at it, to see whether it is the true golden bird; and when you get it into your hand, ride away.'
This, too, happened as the fox said; they carried off the bird, the princess mounted again, and they rode on to a great wood. Then the fox came, and said, 'Pray kill me, and cut off my head and my feet.' But the young man refused to do it: so the fox said, 'I will at any rate give you good counsel: beware of two things; ransom no one from the gallows, and sit down by the side of no river.' Then away he went. 'Well,' thought the young man, 'it is no hard matter to keep that advice.'
He rode on with the princess, till at last he came to the village where he had left his two brothers. And there he heard a great noise and uproar; and when he asked what was the matter, the people said, 'Two men are going to be hanged.' As he came nearer, he saw that the two men were his brothers, who had turned robbers; so he said, 'Cannot they in any way be saved?' But the people said 'No,' unless he would bestow all his money upon the rascals and buy their liberty. Then he did not stay to think about the matter, but paid what was asked, and his brothers were given up, and went on with him towards their home.
And as they came to the wood where the fox first met them, it was so cool and pleasant that the two brothers said, 'Let us sit down by the side of the river, and rest a while, to eat and drink.' So he said, 'Yes,' and forgot the fox's counsel, and sat down on the side of the river; and while he suspected nothing, they came behind, and threw him down the bank, and took the princess, the horse, and the bird, and went home to the king their master, and said. 'All this have we won by our labour.' Then there was great rejoicing made; but the horse would not eat, the bird would not sing, and the princess wept.
The youngest son fell to the bottom of the river's bed: luckily it was nearly dry, but his bones were almost broken, and the bank was so steep that he could find no way to get out. Then the old fox came once more, and scolded him for not following his advice; otherwise no evil would have befallen him: 'Yet,' said he, 'I cannot leave you here, so lay hold of my tail and hold fast.' Then he pulled him out of the river, and said to him, as he got upon the bank, 'Your brothers have set watch to kill you, if they find you in the kingdom.' So he dressed himself as a poor man, and came secretly to the king's court, and was scarcely within the doors when the horse began to eat, and the bird to sing, and princess left off weeping. Then he went to the king, and told him all his brothers' roguery; and they were seized and punished, and he had the princess given to him again; and after the king's death he was heir to his kingdom.
A long while after, he went to walk one day in the wood, and the old fox met him, and besought him with tears in his eyes to kill him, and cut off his head and feet. And at last he did so, and in a moment the fox was changed into a man, and turned out to be the brother of the princess, who had been lost a great many many years.

When I was looking at reviews to buy this book, people said it had the worst format and had many spelling errors. I decided to get the free sample and see if what they said was true. I found out that the book did not have any spelling errors that I could see, the only problem I had was that it doesn't flow as well as other books but come on! These stories are from how many years ago? This is a great read for people who like farie tales or want to know more of the Grimm tales than the ones everybody knows. If you don't believe me just get the sample!
This book is a MARVEL!!! Great for bed time stories and for family get-to-gethers, Anyway you'll LOVE this book of treasureious tales!
I really like Grimm's because they're an interesting take on fairy tales. I like the Dover version because it's small and I can easily carry it to class. The only thing I have a problem with is the print, it's a little small. Other than that, I like it.
Great book. Good for kids with great stories
Really good fairy tales! The Brothers Grimm are good writers. It would be cool if some of the fairy tales were real life.
This book is so amazing i love the stories and there are so many to choose from please get this book
In class we have talked about the grimm brothers. We learned that they traveled all over the german country side to here the stories then would write down the best stories. Also that jakibs birthday is today januaey 4. I cant wait to read all200 fairytales. But i do here that tgey are violent copared to the children versions.
I loved it with all the diferent books in it.
this was a great book to read as a class and do exercises and questions at the end of each story in the book. Doing those exercises with the book help you understand how to analize things.
The Brothers Grimm have a mastery of the written art and a plethora of their works are demonstrated in this extensive book full of their many stories. None of the stories are very long, which allows the reader to come and go as he pleases without worrying about forgetting key details. Although these stories are short, many maintain a sense of humor that is bordering cynical. With various stories that all have one common factor that the happy ending might not happen, these series of books will keep you on your toes as well ass amuse and entertain you.
People plz stop putting a bad rating asking if its a good book when u never read it. It makes the book look bad just plz read the reviews to see if u like it. Not trying to nag :) thanx
There are no pictures; it's a no-frills book. The formatting is odd. The stories themselves are awesome. It's great for reading aloud. My 8 & 11 yr olds love to hear them.

Yes they r incredable but if u dont like creepy storys dont get it
Pepole who think it has spelling errors look up the words they are spelled right! I think the book is amazing everybody should read it
i loved it!!!!!!!!!!
Noel Pocock is literally one of the worst choices of illustrator for this otherwise beautifully presented book. What a shame. Why, oh, why would you waste pages of beautiful colored ink on Noel Pocock? He was a B-level 'boy's book' illustrator, and his style is sorely lacking-- having none of the haunting beauty, clever detail, or downright magic that is present in the best illustrators of these German fairy tales. It's so pretty, and then it's so disappointing to meet Pocock's artwork instead of Menerheim or Offterdinger or countless others. Note that the cover art is not Pocock. Pocock never drew Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty or Rapunzel. He is boring. Boring. Boring.
A sweet and cute book. I really like the mix of textures (leather bond, gold and silver and the shinny image on the center of the cover) Paint does'n come off. Definitely worth the price. Don't hesitate, this book is gorgeous!
Barnes and Noble, please stop putting new covers on the leatherbound classics that you have already released. It is a waste since there are so many other books you could release in this form. Here are some titles I would love to see. The Brothers Karamazov The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit Middlemarch 1984 and Animal Farm The Chronicles of Prydain

Day 27 - Brugge
This morning is Saturday and we had been told that there was a market on in one of the squares in town so after a sleep in we walked to the market. To begin with it looked like it was just going to be a clothing market with the majority of the stores selling generic clothing. When we reached the second half of the market we came across the food section. It was fantastic. It looked like everyone in town had come in to buy their meat, bread and sweets for the week from the many vendors. We had some hot chocolate and wondered around for a while before heading into the nearby tourist information to find out about a Laundromat (our hotel host wouldn't tell us where one was, offering instead to put our washing in her machine - not something that I was willing to do).
While we were in the information center we discovered that the chocolate and chip museum, both of which we wanted to vist, were closed for a few weeks at this time of year and we would miss out We were both very disappointed. Anyway, after we found out about where we could do some laundry we headed to the only brewery in town. Once again we opted to do the tour, however this one was a little disappointing. They don't take you through any of the working parts of the brewery and while they have the rest of the areas set up really well with lots to look at, they don't give you time to stop and take it all in.
At the end of the tour we decided to eat lunch in the restaurant attached to the brewery so that Ed could try some of the beers. He was not fussed on the 'blond' beer that was included in the tour price (so much so that he didn't drink the second free one that we had) but fell in love with their 'quadruple' beer. We have bought some to bring home but I'm not so sure how we will go about this. I don't think they will let us take it on as hand luggage but I don't know that the pressurisation in the checked luggage will do it any good.....we'll wait and see.
After lunch we set about the mundane task of washing and then had some lazy time in the hotel.
We headed out for dinner opting for some 'frites' before having waffles. As we both had had a large lunch we were not very hungry. We went to the same waffle place as yesterday called 'caramel'. If you are in Brugge you must check it out...awesome waffles at really good prices!

The clock radio seemed innocuous enough, a typical addition to any hospital room. Hidden inside the clock, however, was a video camera that recorded doctors and nurses as they worked around the patient, footage that became exhibit Number 1 in a complaint about allegedly shoddy care at Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
The radio-cam's owner was particularly stealthy, but many Canadian hospitals are reporting that surreptitious filming by patients and their relatives is an emerging new trend, paralleling the rapid spread of camera-equipped electronic devices and triggering strong debate.
Officials say people have used smartphones, point-and-shoot cameras and video recorders concealed in such objects as clocks and even Teddy bears to secretly record health-care workers, though they stress the phenomenon is still relatively rare. A psychiatrist at a Calgary hospital is now on trial for sexual assault, the alleged fondling of one patient captured by a wristwatch that hid a…

Individuals: Saving for the Future
For small savings or a more substantial long-term investment, buying gold or gold-backed financial products protects wealth and can increase risk-adjusted returns. Having a small amount of gold within a balanced investment portfolio can potentially reduce its overall risk, helping to protect against market shocks.
While it is reassuring to have a physical asset of enduring value, investors buy gold for many other sound financial reasons.
Gold helps protect the value of money
Gold is a tangible asset which cannot be printed at will. As such, it protects against inflation and currency devaluations. For example, in 1971, a family in the US could buy a house with US$25,000. Today, US$25,000 is not enough for a mortgage deposit. By contrast, 700 ounces of gold (the equivalent of US$25,000 in the 1970s) can buy a US$1 million property today. A growing body of research has shown that having a portion of savings in gold can improve purchasing power over the long term, especially as the real value of most major currencies declines.
Gold performs under pressure
In turbulent times, gold is resilient. The amount of available gold is constrained and cannot be expanded at will, as is the case for fiat currencies through expansionary monetary policies – especially in times of financial and economic crisis. Additionally, unlike a stock, where the underlying company can go out of business, or a bond, where the issuer may default on a coupon or redemption payment, gold has no credit risk.
The long-term outlook for gold is strong
Demand for gold continues to outstrip supply. Jewellery and technology applications make up more than 65 per cent of demand, and most gold is bought in the world's fastest-growing emerging markets. China and India account for more than half of total consumer demand, annually. Mine production, however, accounted for only 74% of gold demand in 2014. In addition, central banks are no longer net sellers of gold, so the rest of the demand is currently fulfilled with recycled gold. With demographic and economic trends predicting increasing wealth and expanded populations in the world's two largest gold markets, gold demand has the potential to continue rising.
It is easier to buy gold than most people think
There is a common misconception that investing in gold is complicated. Today, there are many ways to invest in gold. Through the advent of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as GLDⓇ , investing in gold is as easy as investing in a stock or share. Other ways to invest in gold include purchasing physical bars and coins. Some investors also take exposure to the gold price through index trackers or gold industry stocks and shares. The alternatives continue to expand. Further, the market is highly liquid, meaning that it is easy to buy and sell gold on demand, including through online platforms and at some of the world's largest banks, 24 hours a day.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Love Works is a framework for successful leadership. It outlines a counterintuitive but proven path to success through a passionate and motivated workforce. The mainstay of this philosophy is leading with love, which relies on seven time-provenbut unfortunately not-so-often testedprinciples that break down the natural walls within corporate cultures, empower managers and employees, disarm difficulties, and cultivate an atmosphere that builds long-term success. The key to leading with love is turning love from an emotion into an action. This shift fosters strong relationships, which in turn builds enthusiastic employees and leads to enthusiastic customers. Using love at work also leverages the undeniable truth that love builds healthy relationship at home, so why not use the same behavior to build healthy relationships at work? The book will explore the seven principles of love, which are patient, kind, trusting, unselfish, truthful, forgiving and dedicated. Joel Manby is proof that leading with love works. He has refined and relied upon this leadership philosophy for more than a quarter-centuryfirst as a highly successful corporate executive at Saturn, then as Saab North Americas CEO, and most recently as president and CEO of Herschend Family Entertainment (HFE). HFE was also featured in the CBS hit show Undercover Boss. Overwhelmed by the response of the 18 million viewers who loved seeing love in action, Manby decided to share these principles.

Is it the boss or the workers? Is it how they work together or how well they stay away from each other? This book shows how the author, Joel Manby, uses certain Biblical principles to run his corporation and keep it successful.
I found the ideas in this book interesting and found the authors' approach to leadership a much-needed approach in today's business atmosphere. The book itself is very easy to understand and follow. This is a great book for anyone in a leadership position to read. Just by the writing style you can see that the author has a kind heart and enjoys sharing with others ways to better their companies.
I gave this book 5/5 stars for numerous reasons. The main reason I gave this book a high rating was because it had such great ideas to improve the workplace. I think everyone can learn something from this book!
I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

I noticed that you removed all those distracting rapid zoom-in and -outs from the interview, its a good change.
Hope to see more about those old famous language products like Microsoft BASIC and C/C++, Fortran etc.
And, ultimately, maybe the most heavy topic - operating systems: DOS, Windows, and NT.
Great insights into important moments in the history of computing.
I really love these shows. Hope there will be more

When DePaul coach Oliver Purnell looked onto the court Saturday during his game against Pitt at Petersen Events Center, he saw familiar faces.
The players he sees every day ran, jumped, guarded and shot (although not well).
But at times, Purnell had to wonder how much of a challenge his team offered the Panthers, who recorded a historically easy 93-55 victory in front of 12,512.
"Literally, once (Pitt) got going, they were shooting until they made it," he said.
Purnell was referring to the first half when DePaul's biggest players — 6-foot-9 Donnavan Kirk and Peter Ryckbosch and 6-10 Derrell Robertston — had no defensive rebounds.
Pitt coach Jamie Dixon preaches rebounding and often complains that he doesn't get enough of it from his team.
But the Panthers were dominant on the boards from start to finish, getting 58 rebounds (20 offensive) to DePaul's 34.
Pitt's rebounding total was a season high — beating the previous high of 49 against Duquesne on Dec. 5 — and well above its average of 34.6 entering the game.
"You got bad offense and you got crushed on the boards," Purnell said, summing up his team's fifth loss in six Big East games this season.
Strong bench
Dixon said the strength of his team is its bench, and it showed against DePaul.
The five players who didn't start — Cam Wright, Durand Johnson, Dante Taylor, Trey Zeigler and J.J. Moore — almost outscored the entire DePaul team (52-55). The Panthers' reserves did outscore Pitt's starters, 52-41.
That's the second time that has happened this season in the Big East, the first occurring at Villanova on Jan. 16 when Pitt's backups had a 31-27 advantage over their starting teammates.
Everyone has a hand
Long before the end of the game in the second half, all 10 players had at least one point, rebound and assist.
"The coaching staff has faith in everyone," said Wright, who came off the bench to score eight points after playing only five minutes in the past three games.
Wright's stat line was impressive because it included everything. Besides points, he had four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
"As players, as teammates, as brothers, we have faith in each other," Wright said.
Zeigler leads the way
Zeigler didn't start, but he led in Pitt in scoring with 18 points, the sixth different player this season to achieve that distinction.
"We kept coming at them with our unselfishness," Dixon said.
Pitt totaled 23 assists, the most in a Big East game this season.
Too many mistakes
Despite the easy victory, Pitt committed a season-high 18 turnovers.
"We had too many," Dixon said. "You are going to have more against the way DePaul plays (up-tempo). We have to be able to play through the press and attack on the backside.
"We did a good job, but too many (turnovers) and some were unforced."
The others
The only players who didn't get in the game were Chris Jones and Aron Nwankwo, who are redshirting, and Mike Lecak, who must sit out the season after transferring from Wheeling Jesuit.

Two Wrongs Don't Make it Right!
I had a discussion not long ago with a client and something came up that I thought all new genealogists should be aware of. I often see family trees posted online that 1) do not have any sources & 2) that have been copied from other family trees without sources.
It is first important to note that you should NEVER copy information from another family tree & put it in your own tree until you have verified all the information by locating all the documentation to prove it.
In the instance of my conversation with the client, he asked if I take information from other family trees in the course of my research for clients & I told him no. I proceeded to explain to him why I do not do that. I will use it as a reference or guide if I have encountered a brick wall so I can locate & acquire the documents to support it. He said he had taken information from other family trees & accepted it as fact if dates & other information matched what he had. In both cases there is no source from either his information or the other tree. I explained to him that it does not matter if information matches because a person has no idea where the information came from as it could have been acquired from another unverified source.
To put it simply, without sources, just accepting information because it matches yours is not proof that the information is accurate....
Two incorrect pieces of information will not make it correct
. VERIFY ALL INFORMATION! Genealogy research does not happen overnight and takes a lot of work so why take a shortcut that could cause you to end up further researching a line that may turn out not to be related at all. You will have spent all that time in vain & will cause you or someone else to have to start all over again. If you think you are in over your head, then you may want to consider
hiring a professional
Genealogy without documentation is mythology!!!
Classes are available at genealogy conferences to help you learn how to do genealogy research properly, take advantage of that and learn.
is the largest genealogy conference in the world that takes place in Salt Lake City every year in February where thousands of people go to network & learn and I highly recommend it, but there are many local conferences that you can attend. You might consider joining a local genealogy society and or join the

State seeks deposit protection as Fed's expires
The pending death of a federal program that gave full insurance coverage to non-interest bank accounts has the state turning to some faraway places to protect its money.
The Transaction Account Guarantee program gave unlimited Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. insurance guarantees to non-interest accounts used by businesses, municipalities and state governments to hold short-term money for things like payroll.
Bankers were angered earlier this month when the U.S. Senate defeated a measure to extend the program for two years beyond its Dec. 31 expiration date. The Independent Community Bankers of America estimated that as much as $1.5 trillion in TAG deposits would become uninsured overnight when the program dies.
The banking trade group based its estimate on FDIC data that says $1.5 trillion was held in transaction accounts as of Sept. 30. Lawmakers started the program in 2008 under the Dodd-Frank act as a way to calm nerves among businesses and local governments concerned about financial sector volatility and the possibility of bank failures.
Until then, the federal government provided no insurance beyond the FDIC's standard $250,000 for transaction accounts.
"We anticipated this might happen," said James MacDonald, deputy state treasurer.
The state, like local governments, uses transaction accounts to manage temporary cash, lockbox services for tax collection, agency fee collection and payroll. The amount of money in these accounts changes daily, but it's typically hundreds of millions of dollars at any given time.
MacDonald said the state treasurer's office has been working with Bank of America, which the state uses for transaction accounts, to ensure the money is covered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta.
That will be arranged as an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by the FHLB, MacDonald said. The state, the bank and the FHLB are in the process of finalizing the amount of coverage the state will get in the agreement, he said.
Before the TAG program, MacDonald said, governments lived with the fact that their short-term deposits were unprotected above $250,000 in the event of an overnight bank collapse.
Since 2008, though, banks and depositors have come to appreciate the comfort provided by TAG protection, said Paul Merski, the banking trade group's chief economist.
"It's not money you want to have at risk," Merski said.
Opponents of the extension said the program isn't necessary because the financial system is no longer in crisis.
"If that's the case, why is (Federal Reserve) Chairman (Ben) Bernanke still pumping Fed money out there and keeping interest rates at unnaturally low levels?" Merski said. "You haven't addressed the too-big-to-fail megabank problem yet. They still present systemic risk to the financial system."
Mutual and co-operative banks in Massachusetts have the option to enroll in a private, industry-sponsored Depositors Insurance Fund, which like the TAG program, covers anything above the FDIC's $250,000 limit.
Banks pay a premium to join DIF, and 62 banks in the state were enrolled as of April. In 2011, the program insured about $6.9 billion in deposits.
Karen Kindle, vice president of retail banking at Cambridge Savings Bank, said customers of banks that carry the local, industry-sponsored DIF coverage will not be affected by the expiration of the TAG program. "(The program) was peace of mind for a lot of people," Kindle said. "It was a very unstable environment for a long time."

As Petrobras scandal spreads, economic toll mounts for Brazil
By Jeb Blount
ITABORAÍ, Brazil, April 20 (Reuters) - For the 20 men hanging on at the Pousada do Trabalhador, a 600-bed boarding house on the dusty outskirts of this boom town northeast of Rio de Janeiro, the dream that Brazil's oil wealth would bring a better life was over.
Their jobs at Comperj, a $15-billion oil refinery being built here in Itaboraí by state-run energy giant Petrobras , are gone, and their employer - a mid-sized engineering company - bankrupt.
The men are the latest victims of Brazil's biggest-ever corruption scandal, a multi-billion dollar graft scheme involving Petrobras, engineering companies and politicians that is battering the world's seventh-largest economy.
As the scandal has deepened in recent months, key infrastructure projects have been suspended or scrapped, some suppliers have sought bankruptcy protection and job losses are mounting by the tens of thousands.
Petrobras' size - it is Brazil's biggest company - amplifies the scandal. Each year it invests double the government's entire discretionary infrastructure budget, giving it enormous power to shape Latin America's largest economy.
All told, economists expect the chain reaction set off by the scandal will tip an already weak economy into its worst recession in a quarter century, a harsh reversal for a country that was booming just a few years ago.
"Our employer went bankrupt, then bankrupted us," Ediney Morão, 38, an equipment operator from São Paulo told Reuters as he prepared to leave the boarding house earlier this month.
"I took leave for Christmas and New Year, came back and suddenly, there's no work." Continuación...

It has an open back for easy access (though the uppper floor still lifts off, as with most Lions Gate Models designs) and inside you'll find a living room/kitchen on the lower floor and a small bedroom upstairs. With a garden outside the front door, it's all you really need!

Ranger 26 Racing
I've been campaigning MoAir (hull #64) in SW Florida for two years. We've learned quite a bit about making her go fast in that time. We race in a PHRF fleet under a non-spinnaker classification. In non-spin no time is assessed or awarded for the type of sails you use, Mylar vs. Dacron for example. However you are rated based on the size of your largest headsail. In our fleet you remain at zero with a 155% Genoa declared as your largest sail. Going larger costs you time and like wise going smaller gives you time. We found that we are as fast or faster with a 135% in any air over 10 knots. Since our average winter winds are 10-15 we took the ratings gain of :03 seconds per mile by declaring the 135 as our largest sail. Given that the difference between 2nd and 5th over a 10 mile course can be less than 1 minute the :30 seconds overall gain can be significant. Our target speed with the 135 is around 5.8kts to 6.2kts on a close reach and low to mid 6's reaching and off wind. I am sharing this as I'm interested to open a discussion with others who are actively racing their 26's in hopes of gaining and sharing go fast tips.
Re: Ranger 26 Racing
Any further suggestions on tuning, preferred angle of heel, the actual dimensions of your 155 & 135 genoa?
Re: Ranger 26 Racing
Is anyone else now using these sites for Range 26 data on sailing and/or racing?

Instagram is making changes to its privacy policy and terms of service. The popular social photo-sharing site says these changes are necessary to function more easily as a part of its parent company, Facebook. Instagram will now share more user information with Facebook.
In a posting on their website, Instagram promised that ownership and privacy of your photos would remain unchanged and emphasized that the changes were to protect users while fighting spam. These terms do not include the permissions for the company to use photos in advertising that caused an angry outcry from users when they were announced back in December. The new rules go into effect on January 19.

I'm torn between a Glock 23 and a S&W M&P 40c for an everyday carry gun...I've shot both and own a Glock 22 but it seems a little big to carry...I was wondering if anyone knew which one would be a better purchase...any help would be appreciated
I like them both, I like the Glock More. I EDC a G-22 with no issue at all, good belt + good holster + Golck 22= the gun I would choose to fight with if I had too....
Since you have the G22, you have mags that can hold more rounds than the G23 mags. They are useable in the G23 if you wanted to carry one as a spare in a belt pouch. You don't get this benefit with ths Smith. Other than that, it seems like a wash to me.

You are only paranoid until you are right - then you are a visionary.
Have you considered the G27? A little smaller than the 23, more concealable, lighter and will use the 22 magazines.
Too light for heavy work, too heavy for light work!
I did look at the 27 and it was just a little too small, I feel like the 23 is a right in the middle type of gun thats easy to conceal and carry
Love my G23. I've been carrying it since 1997. I did trade up from a Gen 2 to a Gen 3 this past year. The right holster & belt make ALL the difference. I finally went with a IWB Comp-Tac Spartan. It almost makes the pistol disappear. Crossbread has a strong fan base also.
Crossbread has a great video on their home page showing how this style of holster works so well. (You'll want to see the vid with the young lady demoing the holster. If you see the one with the guy, just refresh your page & the other video will come up.)
My vote for you would be the Glock 23. Same platform and being able to sway magazines.
ive shot the m&p40c and i own a g23 that i carry in a crossbreed quikclip most all the time (college) and i really enjoy mine
why change something that works for you as well as having already done training with the platform?
plus it goes bang EVERY time
While I find the M&P points a bit more naturally than my Glock 30, it apparently doesn't cause any accuracy issues (for me). If you shoot the G22 well, then the G23 would seem to be a natural step down in size, retaining the use of the higher-capacity 22 mags if needed.

Lighten up and enjoy life because:
Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
The G23 is compatable with the 22's mags, your already familiar with the Glock platform.......I'd say go with the G23.
That's just me.
Glock. And I only say that because you already have the one. The longer I am involved with EDC and defensive shooting the more I see the sense in staying in the same platform/family/type, whatever you call that.
But then again variety is the spice of life, maybe you would fall in love with the M&P, then ultimately go that route.
You say that you shot both. Which one did you like the feel of? I personally would go with the M&P with those two choices, but that is me. Both are fine weapons and ultimately you need to purchase what felt the best for you.
I carry a G23 every day and am super happy with it. The great thing about Glock types is the selection of holsters. Also, I carry a G22 mag as my second mag. My step pa has an M&P9c. It is also a great gun, but the holster selection is hardly as good as that of a Glock.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.
NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, World Drifter
I prefer the 22 as a "battle pistol." But for everyday CCW the 23 is just very hard to beat.
The 27 is very nice for the heart of summer. Especially when you simply cannot afford being made.

I'm throwing my bully buddy, Buh-ens a huge party because she just recently found out that she has an inoperable mass on her heart, and sadly might not be with us for too much longer.
On a happier note, I have decided to throw Buh-ens the party of her life to help cheer her up and give her the biggest send off we can give her.
I know I can rely on all of my bully buddies, who know how to party it up (need I mention Eye Of The Tiger parts 1 and 2?!), to give Miss Buh-ens the biggest and best party ever!
You can visit buttons page at http://www.dogster.com/dogs/755074 and I'm going to spread the word about this party through the dogster groups, and hopefully anyone who reads this can spread the word to all of their buddies, and so on!
This is going to be a never ending party to show Buh-ens how much we lub her!
So lets get this party started! There are cheeseysteaks and rootbears on the table already... and theres some In N' Out Burgers on the way!!
http://www.dogster.com/forums/Its_Party_Time/thread/50 7128
We're so so sad to hear about Arthur passing away. We were shocked when we read the news this morning. We had a great time at the party on Sunday and are thankful we got to spend some time with Arthur before he left us.
My thoughts and prayers and lub are with you Arthur, and your family. We know how hard it is to lose a loved one, especially those of the furry variety.
Our hearts are broken, sweet Arthur. Morgan and Honey will be looking out for you on the bridge, we hope you are free from pain now. We're so sorry you had to leave us so soon.
Rest in peace, our buddy.
If you could light a candle for Griff we'd appreciate it! The link is here: http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng
and you can use GRF as the group letters so he knows it's for him.
He's hurt his knee in his good leg and might need surgery.
Thanks again.

- On the MUD Disclosure there is a place to list the ETJ of a City that the property lies within. Many of you are allowing the software program you're using to insert the city name of the properties street address. 90% of the time this is incorrect. New Caney, Porter, Spring and others are NOT CITIES! Most of the time the correct city is Houston, but on Tempo there is an ETJ map that will correctly give you the ETJ of the property in question. I'm going to start kicking these back!!!!
- On the contract when you describe the Title Company that will be used as the Escrow Agent, several are putting an Escrow Officer's name in the place of the Escrow Agent. The Title Company is the Escrow Agent – not the person who works for them. PLEASE STOP. These contracts will be kicked back also…
- Buyer's Walk-thru and Inspection form DOES NOT suffice as a Waiver of Inspection. All closed files on improved property must have an inspection report purchased by the buyer or a Waiver of Inspection. This includes not only the structural report but the Wood Destroying Insect report (termite). Please make sure you're uploading BOTH!
