If you're at all responsible for your company's success, you can't just be a hard-charging entrepreneur or a motivating, encouraging leader. You have to be both!
This book presents Dave's playbook for creating work that matters; building an incredible group of passionate, empowered team members; and winning the race with steady momentum that will roll over any obstacle.
Regardless of your business goals, you'll discover that anyone can lead any venture to unbelievable growth and prosperity through Dave's common sense, counterculture, EntreLeadership principles!
©2011 Dave Ramsey (P)2011 Simon & Schuster, Inc.
"Dave Ramsey's EntreLeadership speaks right to the heart of business leaders, showing not just the 'how tos,' but also the 'why tos' that apply to any sized business, from a garage-based startup to a powerhouse market leader. And by the way, I'm the biggest Dave Ramsey acolyte ever!" (Dr. Arthur B. Laffer, economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan)
"Entrepreneurs are needed in America now more than ever - but there's a big difference between starting a company and leading one. And there's an even bigger difference between a company that's valuable and one that has values. But Dave has figured out the recipe to being both things at once, and his lessons are invaluable." (Glenn Beck, best-selling author)
"Dave Ramsey has taken commonsense leadership principles and made them uncommonly practical, useful, and life changing. His straightforward and plain-talk approach is refreshing. Even more admirable is that his advice is not a bunch of leadership fru-fru fluff, but it's solid and substantive." (Mike Huckabee, former governor, FOX News host)
"Very good and usable advice"
Dave has done a fine jod and there is a lot of real world wisdom in here and the book tells you things you can acually do not just super generic advice that no one can figure out how to put into practice. Very little pchyco-babble
"THE most practical book on running a business."
OK...you can toss all those books about running a business written by egg head college professors or knuckleheads who are only good at writing books about running a business. You can also toss the books by successful business people that only stroke their ego and personal brand but fail to share the real deal about how to run a successful business on a daily basis. EntreLeadership is a book that will help your business TODAY regardless of what stage you are at. Practical, Specific, Direct, AND Entertaining. My company is growing like crazy and Dave Ramsey is the business mentor that I need right now. I am now listening to the book for the second time.
"Excellent insights for building a great business"
Dave provides excellent insight into how to build and grow a successful business based on solid biblical principles. He offers many helpful examples from his own experience to illustrate his points.
There were some excellent pieces of advice that I will likely remember for a lifetime that are very helpful for business and life.
I enjoyed hearing Dave read his own book (as opposed to another narrator) because he is passionate about what he knows and believes and it comes through in his voice.
I also enjoyed that Dave referenced the Bible multiple times. It is refreshing to be reminded that God is in everything we do, including business.
"Great book, nothing too insightful"
I have read (or listened to) many business books and it is rare to find a book that doesn't feel like it is just a spin on another book. This book is no exception. Good book and overall above average, but before you start, you know Ramsey is successful, so you know his stories are going to end with him where he is today (vs. I started out recording in a small room... now he owns the entire building).
If you are looking to move mountains, this isn't your book. If you are looking to sharpen your skills, this won't hurt!
"I would recommend to ANYONE!!!"
I have listened to this book 4 times in the last 6 months because it is that good! Great advice on life, business, relationships, money and of course being an entrepreneur and leader.
"Condensed business learning with passion"
This is a book I'd listen to again to make sure I didn't miss anything.
I like the perspective that he gives about employees who arrive late or leave early are actually stealing from you.
Even though I am not a christian, this book had great value if you haven't read all the fundamentals, and if you have it is still a great refresher with practical examples.
"WOW what an awesome book!! Dave really brings it !"
It is truly everything you need to know, but didn't know who to ask. I loved the section on compensation plans and how to hire someone. The interview process that he recomends is priceless.
He put the chairs for their morning staff meeting outside in the snow, because several of them were coming in late. He then had the morning meeting out in it. He told them if they didn't get their act together they would be out in the street.
The entire book moved me.
Dave is the perfect example of what you can do when you have God on your side. When you handle everything with integrety and honor you will be a success.
I'm not much of a reader but I am a great listener. I like to listen to an audiobook before I decide its worth buying the book in print.
This is a Great book for the new business owner (entrepreneur). It gives great insight on starting and running your business as well as becoming and staying a leader. Dave Ramsey's approach is refreshing and encouraging weather your a leader or a follower. If you are a follower this book will help you be a leader if you really want to be a leader.
Love Dave Ramsey, but this is way too basic information. I already know about setting goals, the use of the assumptive clause when selling etc... This book is mostly a re-hash of the abundant leadership/sales literature. The chapter on hiring is probably the best one of the lot.
Great information presented in a very understandable manner. You will want to listen to this book more than once. Dave gives so many examples of how to implement his ideas as he makes the book easy to listen to. Had never heard of Dave before finding this book. I can easily see why he has so many listeners and followers.

Below is a directory of terms used in the field of genetically modified crops. Most of the terms have been reproduced from the University of California Biotech [UCB] or John Innes Centre [JIC].
A naturally occurring soil microorganism (bacterium) that produces crown gall disease in the wild; it does so by introducing part of its genetic material into the plant to direct it to make compounds it needs to live. A small piece of genetic material was isolated from this bacterium and is used to insert genes into plants in the process of genetic modification. [UCB]
Adverse overreaction of the body's self-defence system, caused by the production of antibodies against specific substances. Asthma, hayfever and intolerance to milk or egg are familiar examples of allergies. [JIC]
Building blocks of proteins. About 20 different amino acids are commonly used by cells to make proteins. [JIC]
Chemical substance produced by some bacteria and fungi, or produced synthetically, that inhibits the growth of, or kills, other microorganisms.
Resistance mechanisms to antibiotics exist that render cells 'immune' to the antibiotic; the genes for these characteristics are found in certain organisms. The genes are used in some genetic engineering experiments as tools to identify cells that have received new DNA. [UCB]
A class of proteins (known as immunoglobulins) formed in the body in response to the presence of antigens (foreign proteins and other compounds), which bind to the antigen and inactivate it. [JIC]

The Douglas Girls Softball League (D.G.S.L.) crowned three champions Monday, July 2 in its season ending double elimination tournament at the 15th Street Park.
In the mini's division the Palo Verde Stop-N-Go Dodgerettes were looking to win their third straight city championship but standing in their way was the Pink Spikes.
Aided by an unassisted triple play from Alicia Lamadrid, the coaches daughter, the Dodgerettes accomplished that feat with a 5-0 win. Yari Velasquez and Estevani Rojas were the MVP's for the Dodgerettes.
Catalina Morales and Arianna Villalobos were the top players for the Pink Spikes.
The Dodgerettes finish the year undefeated.
The minors championship game followed as the Maddux and Sons Sparx were also looking to close out an undefeated season but standing in their way was the D-backers.
The Sparx won that game 12-1 capping off a 15-0 season. Emily Maddux was the winning pitcher. She and Alondra Lugo were the top hitters.
Luisa Fimbres was the losing pitcher for the D-backers. Fimbrs and Yanexel Espinosa were the top hitters.
The main event came in the juniors division where the top two pitchers in the league were going to face each other for the fourth time this season only this time the league championship was up for grabs as the Backdrop Photography Kryptonites were facing the Western Cattle Company Keystones.
These same two teams had played each other three times prior to the finals and the Krypotonies had won two of three. It was the Keystones who gave Backdrop its lone loss in the season finale winning 9-8 thus ending any hopes of a perfect season.
This game proved to be as exciting as expected as the Backdrop Kryptonites came away with a 6-2 win finishing the year 19-1; two runs shy of being 20-0.
Backdrop scored a run in the top of the second and then rallied for five in the third taking a 6-0 lead.
The Keystones scored once in the bottom of the third and once again in the fourth.
Yessika "Keka" Galaz was the winning pitcher giving up two runs off three hits while walking one and fanning five.
Ariela Noriega was the losing pitcher for the Keystones. She also hit 2 for 2 in the game while Sasha Matty was 1 for 2.
Annie Cisneros, Jenessa Salazar and Galaz each hit 2 for 3 for Backdrop with Cisneros having an RBI. Aileen Luna was 1 for 2 with 3 RBIs, Sofia Martinez was 1 for 2 and Andrea Cruz was 1 for 4.
"The girls played their best and worked very well together," Kryptonite Coach Jessica Galaz said afterwards. "We are very proud of the way the girls played. They showed us that they wanted to win the championship. On behalf of your proud coaches and sponsor, we would like to thank the girls for a wonderful season full of great memories. We were very blessed to have such a good group of dedicated girls. Way to go champs!
"On behalf of the Kryptonites we would like to thank our proud sponsors Bruce (Whetten) and Trisha (Maldonado) from BackDrop Photography, you guys are great! Our proud parents and fans for their support during this season. You guys cheering us on made a great impact on how we as a team felt."
League officials are reporting closing ceremonies will be this Friday at 5:30 p.m. at the 15th Street Park softball field.

Back to passive filters
There's a small twist to the story of the poor sounding active filter - it was inadvertently built with noisy shunt regs. I have found the resistors I used have oodles of excess noise (0603s really aren't recommended unless the high stability thin-film types). So I'm modding the shunts to take thin-film (I happen to have a couple of reels) and for the other voltage setting resistor whose value I don't have in thin-film, I'm substituting a 1206 type thick film which are more benign. Then I'll have another listen....Posted Yesterday at 02:35 PM by abraxalito -

Which soldering station should I buy?
A few months back I was looking for the Hakko or a Weller. Unfortunately the Weller ones seemed considerably overpriced here in Greece. I then searched for Hakko with no luck. The internet had much better prices, but the shipping costs most of the time were ridiculous. I ended up buying an ERSA which was on sale at a local hardware store, and never regretted it.
Still going strong with no issues and I really like the timer safety stuff.Posted 20th May 2013 at 07:36 AM by dimkasta -

As an example, the original circuit specifies +18 V DC power. To obtain this, you would use a 18 or 20 V Zener, and a transformer with 18, 20, 22, or 24 VAC secondary.Posted 20th May 2013 at 02:39 AM by rjm -

I bought a Hakko 936 many years ago and have never regretted it. The only regret I had was not buying one sooner!! The FX-888 was it's replacement (and now the FX888D)

No I am not going to be much more specific in this instance as I didn't listen intently enough to understand what the colourations were. I just didn't enjoy listening to this circuit as much as the earlier passive one. But I can give you a hint from the kinds of music I listened to - on piano at the top end of its register, some notes sounded too right to be true (like hyper-real) and others missed the mark. Leonard Cohen's voice wasn't as sexy, brass lost some of its intense bite and became more electronic--y. This could easily be caused by having resonances in the power supply impedance at particular frequencies but its just speculation.
The original reason I did the active filter was to get a more portable (smaller size primarily) solution but when I'd optimized the power supplies with enough caps for low impedance at HF I realized there was practically no size advantage after all. So passive wins on all fronts but ease of manufacture. Probably I'll find someone to wind the coils with sufficient precision so even this will get sorted...Posted 8th May 2013 at 05:13 AM by abraxalito

Interesting. Could you be more specific about precisely what those "upper-end colourations" were? This is the area where one is more and more balancing on the knife edge of "correct" sound, and the slightest weakness anywhere in the whole chain can be severely emphasised ..
From personal experience, the best sound is often directly adjacent to some of the worst sound: 1' of an arc to the left, unlistenable; 1' of an arc to the right, tediously dull; inbetween, just right ...Posted 8th May 2013 at 03:42 AM by fas42 -

Power Up! - A Low Power Desktop Amp
Ground planes are great for RF work, I am not so sure though at audio they're the best solution. For audio we're not so concerned about inductance in the supplies as at RF - because the frequencies are so much lower. I tend to consider cross-coupling in grounding (common ground impedance coupling) a bigger issue to fix than supply inductance, hence I go for star earthing rather than planes.

All food for thought... one would hope that each device would work on an individual bases and its PSRR wouldn't be effected by the outputs being in parallel with other devices. Abraxalito, I recently read a paper by Analog Devices about decupling techniques and it covers some of the areas you mention. However, the question still remains about any additional effect brought about by running devices parallel...
I would hope that with proper decupling to a low impedance ground plane on each of the devices supply pins, plus with a suitable power supply, any issues would be kept to a minimum.Posted 30th April 2013 at 09:21 AM by BuildMeSomething -
Power Up! - A Low Power Desktop Amp
My initial thinking is that at HF, normally the PSRR is limited by parasitic device capacitances. So I figure that paralleling chips is only going to worsen PSRR because that's putting the stray capacitances in parallel. But then as a caveat, if the PSRR is capacitance dominated it will surely depend on what load resistance is used - the datasheet does not specify any along with the PSRR graphs.
At the lower frequencies I don't know what causes the limited PSRR - is it related to the early resistance of the output emitter followers? If so then paralleling more followers will make the PSRR worse.
Just my initial thoughts - would appreciate feedback!Posted 30th April 2013 at 03:17 AM by abraxalito -
Power Up! - A Low Power Desktop Amp
My guess is that it would make no difference at all: if you consider each of the paralleled units as working in isolation with their own supplies, and then simply summing currents in the speaker load, then I can see no advantage or disadvantage to the method as far as PSRR is concerned ...
But, the real benefit is that one is forced to engineer a more substantial power supply, to make sure that none of the chips are starved during a peak, and that's the real gain of the matter ...Posted 29th April 2013 at 11:06 PM by fas42 -

Police Log: Officers Called For Arguing Women, Arrest Man, Woman On Warrants
The following arrest information was provided by the Woonsocket Police Department. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
On Sunday, Dec. 9, at 9:29 p.m., Woonsocket Police repsonded to Wood Avenue for a domestic disturbance to find four people who told them two women there, Cheryl Cacciato and Louise Lapierre (later identified as Louise Romano) had just had a minor argument, according to a police report.
All the occupants assured officer David Bibeault there was no need for police to intervene. Before leaving the scene, Bibeault ran background checks on all four occupants of the apartment, discovering a man there, John Morin, 47, of 51 Wood Ave., apt. 2 right, was wanted on a Superior Court bench warrant. Bibeault arrested Morin.
A check on "Lapierre" failed to turn up anyone by that name after several attempts. "Lapierre" insisted her information was correct. Finally, a check of her tattoos provided a match with Louise Romano, 37, of 51 Wood Ave., apt. 2 right .
The name was broadcast over Bibeault's radio, promting Lapierre to admit, "Yeah, I lied about my name, but I haven't been arrested in a mad long time," according to Bibeault's report. That was a streak she was about to break — there was a Superior Court warrant for Romano's arrest. She was arrested as well, with an additonal charge of obstructing a police officer added to her record.

Starting off with the Collector's Edition:
Deathwing Mini-Pet:IRVINE, Calif., Aug 17, 2010 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for a limited-release Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft(R): Cataclysm(TM), the third expansion for the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game,* World of Warcraft. The special Collector's Edition package, which will only be available at retail stores, will include the following exclusive bonus items in addition to the game disc:
-- Art of the Cataclysm art book, featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment cinematics department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development.
-- Exclusive in-game pet: he may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil' Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart.
-- Behind-the-scenes DVD with over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft(R) retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe.
-- Soundtrack featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, including exclusive bonus tracks.
-- Special-edition mouse pad depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth.
-- World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards, including a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector's Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG.
The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release. In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races -- worgen and goblins -- will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world.
The beta test for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is currently underway. To set up a Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate, please visit the official Battle.net website at http://www.battle.net.
The World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $79.99. The release date and other details for the game will be announced in the months ahead. For more information on World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, please visit the official website at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm.
Faction Leaders models have been updated, Thrall looks awesome, hordies:
Don't see Cairne Bloodhoof there do you? That's because he has been killed. As to who killed him remains a mistery, for now. Rumors about are that Garrosh had a hand in it
Goblin Normal:
Goblin Epic:
Raid and Dungeon achievement mounts:
Drake of the Wind (Raiding Achievement Reward):
Stone Drakes (Dungeon Heroic Achievement Rewards):
Camel Mounts (Presumably the purchasable Northrend Bear equivalent):
Flight Training (310%):
Is now trainable at the reasonable fee of 5k gold. Anybody who has done the grind for epic flying in BC can tell you that it's a fair price to pay, considering gold inflation. (This price could possibly change on live servers)
Dark Phoenix (We Are Legendary Guild Reward):
Remember seeing that seemingly unobtainable Phoenix floating above you in Shattrah during Burning Crusade? How about that dude that shows his shiny, shiny one off at Krasus' landing?
Well now you and your guildies can band together and tackle that old content for those legendaries you've missed. This mount requires that you have most the legendaries available in your guild to unlock the Dark Phoenix:
Archeaology being the new profession (Secondary, like fishing/cooking) takes you to the far reaches of Aezeroth in search of ancient artifacts. These items will both be discoverable through exploration and through drops. As to what this profession entails, remains a mistery, for now.
Path of the Titans:
Stat Changes:
Stat have been completely reworked this expansion with many stats making their way out and their effects being incorparated in to other stats.
? WoW Cataclysm MP5: This will be removed from items and replaced with Spirit. All healers will be given a meditation-like ability to compensate.
? WoW Cataclysm Spell Power: Spell Power is being removed from items as well. Don?t panic, Intellect will be improved so that it provides mana and Spell Power at the same time.
? Attack Power in WoW Cataclysm: Attack Power is also being removed from items . Instead, Agility will provide the necessary Attack Power for leather and mail wearers.
? Strength will provide the appropriate amount of Attack Power for plate wearers. This means leather and mail items will no longer be desirable for plate wearers in WoW Cataclysm.
?World of Warcraft Cataclysm Defense: The Defense statistic is also being removed from items so that players no longer have to stress about juggling around ?the cap.? Tanks will receive the required anti-crit from talents and skills, like Survival of the Fittest.
? Armor Penetration Change: This ability is too confusing and ?mathy.? It is being replaced with Mastery, a stat that makes you better at what you do. Mastery in WoW Cataclysm is also applicable to other talents and skills and for other classes.
? Haste: Will increase the rate at which you gain energy, runes, and focus ? this is definitely huge! Retribution paladins and Enhancement shaman will have a talent that allows them to take advantage of this benefit ? probably to make up for their intelligence and mana.
? Stamina Changes in Cataclysm: Players will notice more Stamina on gear as Defense, Spell Power, Attack Power and Armor Penetration are removed. This sounds like the stamina increase at the beginning of WoW Burning Crusade.
Guild Perk System:
Guild Perks are incentive for guilds and players not to player/guild hop. It's a system in which various activites conducted as a guild (raiding, questing, dungeons, etc.) will reward the guild with Perks. These perks get unlocked as you progress, unlocking tasty, delicious rewards and interesting mechanics to aid you and your guildies.

Shaughnessey follows that journalistic standard, so maybe you have a point. But I prefer Gammons' approach.

Who suggested that Gammons call out anyone as a liar? You'd just think that a supposed journalist who is paid to give his opinion might offer even the smallest smirk regarding the story.Originally Posted by YASS

I don't doubt that you prefer Gammons approach. He sells the company line every chance he gets.
I wouldn't go so far as to call them liars but I do think this should have been questioned. To say that he cut his finger on a defective baseball may be one of the more absurd things I've ever heard. To simply accept it as fact is shoddy reporting.Originally Posted by YASS
This is my point. In the grand scheme of things, no "scandal" has taken place on any level. It's just remarkable that a guy who is quite vocal about virtually everything doesn't have a single thing to say when a player with a history of blister issues insists he cut his finger on a baseball.Originally Posted by yankeebot
I can't see why he'd bother. It's not a major issue (at least not yet) and has no bearing on the rest of the season.Originally Posted by yankeebot
If it later turns out to be the first of several friction- or irritation-induced avulsions or blisters, then I'd expect him to make an issue of it. Now? What's the point?

If a multi-million dollar asset injured himself on a defective $12 ball, wouldn't one think he would point out the ball to the ump, and the Sox would send it to MLB for investigation? Shouldn't the manufacturer be asked to look into the "problem" to make sure it was only an isolated incident?Originally Posted by yankeebot
What if there are other such balls out there, lurking in umps bags, just waiting to peel the skin off of other unwitting pitchers?
Yes, of course. The media never looks to get out in front of a potential story. They just sorta wait for something to happen, and then react to it.Originally Posted by YASS

FWIW, I'm pretty skeptical about the whole Beckett blister issue. Maybe that comes from living in S. Florida and going through all the problems he had down here. It seems to me though that it's too big a coincidence. Either the raised seam thing is an out and out lie, or maybe a slight imperfection created a cut on a finger that was easily susceptible to injury. Either way, I find it hard to believe that this is in no way related to his previous problems. I also remember thinking during the game that his curve had more of a bite on it then normal, it's possible he just overthrew one.
In any case, I'd rather he pitch like has this year and deal with an occasional blister then have him pitch like last year when he was trying to avoid them.
Yes!! That thing was really snapping that day. I commented on it, too.Originally Posted by Rice14
Yep. I thought it was the best I had seen from him.Originally Posted by Reggie Smith
I was pretty surprised when I heard that explanation -- partially because it sounds ridiculous and partially because Gammons reported it as fact. Then again, it's Gammons..that guy infuriates me to no end sometimes...as a Yankee fan, he's almost unwatchable at this point and the fact that we have to deal with him so much on a national broadcast, when he's such an overt homer, is ridiculous...Originally Posted by ballfour
Did you catch how he said that the yankees hitting woes are because they're old instead of just not getting the job done, in a collective slump?
If you go down the line in my rough estimation, they aren't that far off from the Red Sox lineup except for CF and DH -- the Yankees have only one extra year in a good number of the positions: Phelps/Youkilis, Cano/Pedroia, Jeter/Lugo, Abreu/Drew and Posada/Varitek.
On the flip side: Lowell has a year on A-Rod and Manny has two on Matsui. Giambi has 4 years on Ortiz and Damon has 6 on Crisp but Crisp hasn't exactly been an offensive difference maker for the Red Sox..as a team the Red Sox are getting it done offensively but it's not because of their youth..
ugh, I've avoided most of his written words more recently -- especially after the " the Red Sox clubhouse is the nicest one around -- the most popular guy is even a Jew" article...I should probably start muting him when he comes on tv...sorry for the rant.
Calmer than you are.
It does seem as though the seams on that ball are a little higher than standard. Is that a picture of the ball he got the avulsion from?Originally Posted by JavyVazquezIsSick

Avulsion.Originally Posted by YASS
Calmer than you are.
Beckett threw 5 simulated innings today with no ill effects. He's scheduled to come off the DL next week against the Indians.
Sometimes you're the Louisville Slugger,
Sometimes you're the ball.
When Beckett threw yesterday, he kept a bandage on the finger. Later he played catch in the OF without it and snapped off a few breaking balls. The cut did not break open.
He'll throw a side session on Saturday and will come off the DL on Tuesday to face Cleveland at Fenway.
Get well soon.We don't want to hear excuses from you later.
Also in a related report, Beckett was seen yelling and fist pumping in his signature spastic way at the blister, the blister vowed to never return...

A devout Christian and the mother of three children, Matthews knew Islamic history cold, and how al Qaeda believed it fit into that history, which made her a formidable interrogator of al Qaeda detainees, some of whom found the fact that she was a well-informed female particularly disconcerting.
First strategic warning
Another female intelligence analyst who spotted the threat from al Qaeda long before anyone else is Gina Bennett, who in August 1993, while working at the Bureau of Intelligence and Research inside the State Department, wrote a paper that was the first strategic warning about Bin Ladin.
When bin Laden was expelled to Afghanistan in May 1996 from the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, Bennett also wrote a prescient analysis, warning, "His prolonged stay in Afghanistan --- where hundreds of 'Arab Mujahidin' receive terrorist training and key extremist leaders often congregate --- could prove more dangerous to U.S. interests in the long run than his three-year liaison with Khartoum."
In the years after the attacks on New York and Washington, Bennett helped draft key National Intelligence Estimates on the state of al Qaeda. Bennett is still at the CIA and has been publicly identified on a number of occasions, which is why her real name is used here.
After 9/11, women continued to play a key role in the hunt for bin Laden. In 2005, a CIA analyst named Rebecca (a pseudonym), who had worked the bin Laden "account" for years, wrote an important paper titled "Inroads" that would help guide the hunt in the years to come.
Given the absence of any real leads on bin Laden, how could you plausibly find him? she asked. Rebecca then came up with four "pillars" upon which the search had to be built. The first pillar was locating al Qaeda's leader through his courier network. The second was locating him through his family members, either those who might be with him or anyone in his family who might try to get in touch with him. The third was communications that he might have with what the CIA termed AQSL (al Qaeda senior leadership). The final pillar was tracking bin Laden's occasional outreach to the media.
These four pillars became the "grid" through which CIA analysts would from now on sift all the intelligence that had been gathered on al Qaeda that might be relevant to the hunt for bin Laden, and also helped to inform the collection of new intelligence.
A promising lead
An especially promising lead in the search for al Qaeda's leadership came four years after Rebecca wrote her memo and it came in the form of Humam al-Balawi, a Jordanian pediatrician in his early 30s who had become radicalized by the Iraq war and had subsequently become an important voice on militant jihadist websites.

Anti-inflammatory desert succulents such as Aloe Vera and Prickly Pear Cactus provide moisture-binding properties while Hyaluronic Acid plumps the skin.
SKIN TYPE: All Skin Types
HERO INGREDIENT: Aloe Vera Leaf Juice: Prevents redness and inflammation caused by UVB rays by repairing damage to the skin's natural immune system, thereby preventing premature aging of the skin. Aloe Vera also assists in repairing collagen, often damaged by the release of destructive enzymes caused by chronic inflammation.
"My skin feels smoother and more hydrated, as well as visibly brighter and fresher. This gel is great after a stressful day – It's like a little pick-me-up for your complexion!" - Abi M., My Beauty Bunny
"Whether you're wanting to calm your complexion or give your skin a big dose of hydration, this replenishing gel is a skin indulgence you might just add to your habitual beauty regimen." - Sasha, Crows' Feet, Cupcakes, and Cellulite
HYALURONIC ACID: Derived from yeast extract, plumps the skin by helping cells retain water.
PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS STEM EXTRACT: Rich in essential amino acids, vitamins, antioxidants and water-binding polysaccharides, this botanical hydrates, soothes and protects from environmental stress by blocking the release of stress markers from sensory nerve cells in the skin. Prickly Pear has excellent hydrating properties due to its high content of water-binding compounds.
GOTU KOLA EXTRACT: Strong wound healing abilities by increasing the level of antioxidants in newly formed tissue.

A former employee of L.L.Bean and Wright Express pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to charges related to bilking the two companies of $450,000.
Matthew J. LaForge of Brunswick pleaded guilty to charges of mail fraud and tax evasion, according to the Sun Journal, and faces up to 25 years of prison time and $250,000 per charge in fines. He reportedly billed both companies for marketing services provided by a bogus company and had payments sent to a mailbox in New Hampshire. According to the paper, LaForge took about $231,000 from Wright Express over a three-year period and about $220,000 from L.L.Bean over a subsequent three-year period. He also failed to report the money as income and faces more than $89,000 in unpaid income taxes.
LaForge is required to pay restitution to the companies, their insurers and the Internal Revenue Service, according to the paper.

Hired in 1979 as a receptionist, one of the most loved women in Fuquay-Varina is winding down her 33- year career at Fuquay-Varina Middle School. Even though Mrs. Barbara Wagstaff, Lead Secretary of FVMS, will officially retire on June 30, she will not stop inspiring everyone she meets and lifting the hearts of those who need it.
To many she is known as "The Face of FVMS." Her current supervisor Principal Mark Holley labeled her "an institution" at Fuquay Middle saying with a smile on his face, "She has touched the lives of everybody she meets in a positive way. I will certainly miss her professionalism and the way she cared about the students, school, and community. She has been a tremendous asset to me personally."
In appreciation for her contribution to education, FVMS honored her with a retirement party on May 29. The staff presented Mrs. Wagstaff with a Pandora bracelet, with each grade level adding symbolic charms.
Although many superlative titles could be applied to Mrs. Wagstaff, most importantly she is known as mother and grandmother. In fact, one of the reasons that she applied for her job was to be with her only child in the afternoons and summers when he started school.
She said, "working at FVMS has richly blessed my life and gave me the opportunity to be available for my son throughout his school years."
Her family is such a significant part of her life that one of the things she is looking forward to most about retirement is spending more time with her husband, family, and especially her grandchildren.
Even though she is looking forward to some of the benefits of retirement, she is going to miss many aspects of her job. "I take great pride in the community and at church stating that I work for Fuquay-Varina Middle School, and I will miss being a part of the school," she said.
Undoubtedly, her favorite part of her job was her daily interaction with staff and students. She has met a lot of inspirational people in her career but stated that two have really stood out. Not long after she started at FVMS, a student and co-worker both died of cancer. Revealing her compassionate heart, Mrs. Wagstaff reminisced, "I loved both of them dearly and their attitude under dire circumstances left lasting impressions on my heart."
When I asked her to describe a humorous incident that stood out in her career, she recalled how she once wanted to put her own highlights in her hair, but something went terribly wrong. She ended up with black hair in the front and white in the back! She jokingly says that she looked like a penguin from the movie Happy Feet. Not knowing what to do, she called one of her co-workers to her home saying it was an emergency. Since she had used permanent hair color, they concluded that she should just down- play her hair with different colors of clothing. Well, of course, the next morning two buses were late, so she had a huge line of students who came in to get their notes to class. She kept her head as low as possible when a kid at the back of the line yelled, "Mrs. Wagstaff, did you dye your hair?" This question started a noisy chain reaction that Mrs. Wagstaff will never forget and made her realize that she could never be successful as a hairdresser.
Mrs. Wagstaff says that she will always be grateful to Wake County Public Schools for giving her the opportunity to work with such a great system and for the privilege of working with all of the staff and PTA at FVMS. Even though changes in technology from the days of using a manual typewriter and copying materials for teachers have made her duties easier, saying goodbye to a career she has loved will not be easy. Overall, she remarks that a quotation from an unknown author sums up all that she is trying to express: "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
Numerous students, parents, and colleagues have all benefitted from a career that became a calling in her life. I believe that I speak for everybody when I say that we will miss Barbara Wagstaff more than she could ever know when that last school bell rings. Even though FVMS is losing a beloved Bengal, Mrs. Barbra Wagstaff will always remain a favorite Bengal in our hearts.

More than 800 people gathered at the Croatian Cultural Centre Monday to pay tribute to a one-of-a-kind former Vancouver cop who died earlier this month at 89 of cancer.
Bernie "Whistling" Smith, who earned the nickname for regularly whistling on his Downtown Eastside beat, was remembered in story, in video and in song — including one of his own — during the afternoon ceremony.
Though more widely known by many as the burly lawman featured in the 1975 National Film Board documentary "Whistling Smith," stories told by family and friends completed a picture of Smith's life before and after his 34 years with the Vancouver Police Department.
Koos Dykstra, who served on the force with Smith, recalled that his friend grew up in what is now Yaletown before leaving in his early teens.
Smith stowed away on trains to the Prairies during the Depression, lived in "hobo jungles" and hitchhiked around the province searching for work.
"He came from very poor beginnings and never enjoyed an excess of wealth, "Dykstra told the crowd. "But seeing the assembly here, he was rich beyond what he could have imagined."
Smith's son, Larry, also a retired VPD cop, said his father's decision to enlist in the army and serve overseas during the Second World War was considered an improvement to his life. He landed in Normandy three days after the D-Day invasion.
His early experiences, Smith said, helped shape the values of the father and grandfather he became when returning from the war and joining the VPD in 1945.
"There was always a place at our table for a person who was down on their luck or in need," his son said.
The day Smith received his discharge papers from the army, he applied to work at the VPD. His persistence, despite no openings, got him a job at 22 years old.
In his unpublished autobiography "Colour Me Blue," he tells of saving a drowning man at the foot of Dunlevy Street, how his first partner Gordon Sinclair was shot under the Granville Bridge and how he led detectives to two men who murdered a teenage girl in Stanley Park.
Former partner Don Bullough revealed to the crowd that Smith had a $10,000 contract on his head and often mixed it up with local gangsters.
"He was feared by the underworld," said Bullough in his English accent, recalling how Smith often sat with gangsters' girlfriends in nightclubs to upset the men. "They couldn't talk, they couldn't do nothing. But that was how Bernie did it and he was just one hell of a good copper — a good partner and a good friend."
When Smith retired in 1979, he worked at a series of jobs, including private investigator, security guard, stock promoter, failed political candidate and aide to former premier Bill Vander Zalm, who spoke at the ceremony.
"He believed that whatever happened had to happen but that things would be better at the end of it—and it was," said Vander Zalm, referring to his turbulent last year in office and the conflict-of-interest probe into the sale of Fantasy Gardens that caused him to resign in 1991. "So Bernie will always be remembered by Lillian and myself and family as one of the greatest guys we ever came to know."
In his later years, Smith turned to writing a detective novel, his autobiography and children's books, one of which titled "Windy and Spike, "about a skunk and a porcupine, he self-published with his late wife, Mary.
He told the Courier in an interview in 2004 the inspiration for his children's books were his love of children and family.
Taylum McErlean, 19, Smith's first great grandaughter, said she didn't know the man as a cop or political aide but simply as her great grandpa.
She told of how his whistling could get on her great grandmother's nerves ("Bernard—stop that!) and how he would take out his false teeth "to freak out the kids."
"He never stopped smiling, never stopped being positive," she said.
During the ceremony, the crowd heard from Smith himself, albeit via a video recording made earlier this year of a song he wrote with musical accompaniment from The Odds and Jim Byrnes.
Over long-held, subtle notes on an organ, Smith comes across Johnny Cash-like in his baritone voice and simple delivery of "The Thin Blue Line."
He was blind at the time but still able to whistle.
Smith is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Donations can be made in his name to The Union Gospel Mission.

The annual highlights brochure of what's been happening in the NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub during 2012.
As the NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub research activities span several years, the Annual Work Plan (AWP) is the key document for defining, justifying, budgeting for and scheduling activities on an annual basis. It relates directly to the Hub Multi-Year Research Plan (MYRP) which broadly describes the scope of the research work program over four years (July 2011- December 2014).
The NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub Second Annual Work Plan (AWP2) details the milestones to be completed by each Hub funded project in 2012-2013.
The NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub Third Annual Work Plan (AWP3) details the milestones to be completed by each Hub funded project in 2013-2014.
This Monitoring and Evaluation Plan complements other documents, including the NERP TE Hub Science Communication Plan, and describes how the Hub Steering Committee will monitor key performance indicators in order to advise DSEWPaC on Hub progress in a timely manner through biannual reporting of:
• Project milestone delivery
• Expenditure and commitment and
• Communications including engagement and knowledge transfer.
The Multi-Year Research Plan, or MYRP, is a research plan that provides contextual information and a breakdown of research activities of the NERP Tropical Ecosystems Hub; describes the research that the Hub will be undertaking between 2011 and 2014; identifies research priorities and links to Australian Government Environment Portfolio policies and programs; outlines the relationship of the research to the Australian Government Environment Portfolio and other key research users; and provides a framework for monitoring and evaluating the Hub activities, as part of the NERP.
The specific objectives of the NERP TE Hub Science Communication Plan are to promote and facilitate the influential application of Hub-generated knowledge.

LONDON (AP) — Double-amputee Oscar Pistorius will be able to run any part of the Olympic 4x400-meter relay. Pistorius was the leadoff runner in the semifinals at the world championships in South Korea last year after the IAAF had raised concerns that his carbon-fiber blades would endanger others in the race. South Africa won silver. IAAF President Lamine Diack said Tuesday that it was fully up to the South African federation to decide, raising the possibility that Pistorius will be running in the bunch once athletes leave their lanes after 500 meters. Diack says that "if they want him to run the second leg, he can run the second leg. It is no problem for us."
Pistorius can run any part of relay at Olympics
