Say Good Night To Insomnia
Getting Started
You Can Say Good Night to Insomnia
Bedtime is approaching and Alan is dreading it. He knows what tonight will bring: the torment of another night of insomnia.
Each night has become agonizingly familiar. Exhausted, Alan gets into bed and turns out the lights to go to sleep, only to lie wide awake. The harder he tries to fall asleep, the more he tosses and turns and the more tense and frustrated he feels. With the realization that he can't fall asleep comes a distressing wave of anxiety and stressful thoughts about sleep"I've got to get some sleep or I'll never function tomorrow!"and the worries about the problems in his life: tomorrow's meeting, Friday's deadline, his company's downsizing, his mother's illness. All are made worse by the loneliness and darkness of the night.
Even when Alan finally falls asleep he cannot escape insomnia. After just a few hours, he wakes up and tosses and turns before falling back to sleep just as the sun rises.
When the alarm clock rings, Alan has to drag himself out of bed, angry and depressed in the knowledge that yet another day feeling wiped out, helpless, and desperate awaits him.
Insomnia has become Alan's living nightmare.
Does Alan's ordeal sound familiar? It does for most insomniacs, who live in an interminable state of anxiety concerning insomnia and its effects on their lives. Like Alan, they also feel hopeless, powerless, and trapped by their lack of control over sleep, and they dread what, for most people, is an enjoyable experiencegoing to bed.
And no wonder. The anger, exhaustion, and irritability caused by insomnia can handicap mood, productivity, coping skills, and family and social life, and deprive insomniacs of a sense of joy and well-being. They grow even more frustrated or depressed by family or friends who tell them "it's all in your head" or "just relax," and may start to wonder whether they have a "psychological" problem. As a consequence, insomniacs feel embarrassed or even ashamed about their condition, which diminishes their self-esteem.
Doctors and Sleeping Pills
It is stressful enough to endure insomnia, but many doctors' reactions to it can make it even worse. They frequently don't ask about insomnia, overlook it, or simply ignore it. Why? Because insomnia is so ubiquitous that it is often dismissed by doctors as an unavoidable and normal part of life!
Doctors are not trained to diagnose or treat insomnia. Even though it is one of the most frequent health complaints today, doctors receive less than one hour of training on sleep problems during their entire medical education. This lack of training is compounded by the fact that, until recently, little federal funding has been allocated for insomnia research, which means that information about treating insomnia is not available to doctors in medical and scientific journals. (Fortunately, Congress and the National Institutes of Health have started to appropriate more money for sleep and insomnia research, as evidenced by the decision to fund my own research for four years.)
It is easy to understand why doctors are not comfortable treating insomnia. And when they are not comfortable treating something, they are inclined to avoid it. As Dr. William Dement, an internationalexpert on sleep disorders and director of the Sleep Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine, explains, "Most physicians dread the arrival of a chronic insomnia patient. If one asks a large group of doctors if any of them enjoy managing chronic insomnia, not a single hand will go up." It is no wonder that the vast majority of cases of insomnia go undiagnosed and untreated!
There is another reason insomniacs can't turn to their doctor for help: medicine has not developed an effective treatment for insomnia. Until recently, the only medical treatments available were sleeping pills such as Halcion, Restoril, Dalmane, Xanax, Ativan, Klonopin, and many others. Sleeping pills, however, are no longer considered a safe or appropriate treatment for chronic insomnia because they can have serious side effects that far outweigh their benefits; are only moderately effective for insomnia and stop working over time; strengthen the belief that the cure for insomnia comes from external factors; and can lead to physical or psychological dependency, which can cause feelings of helplessness, loss of control, and lowered self-esteem.
Most important, sleeping pills don't cure insomnia, because they don't treat the causes of insomnia. Consequently, if you rely on sleeping pills, your sleep may improve while you take the pills, but as soon as you stop, your insomnia will return, thereby sustaining the cycle of insomnia and sleeping pills.
Given everything we know about the drawbacks to sleeping pills, why do so many doctors still prescribe them? Partly because when doctors are busy and don't know what to do about insomnia, sleeping pills are a fast and easy solution. Another reason is the pervasive influence of drug companies, which sponsor scientific conferences, advertise in medical journals, send sales personnel to doctors' offices, supply free samples of sleep medications, and fund research studies that pay part of doctors' salaries. Therefore, doctors may be subtly influenced to prescribe the sleeping pills that the drug companies manufacture.
Doctors also prescribe sleeping pills because of the predominant attitude in medicine today that drugs are the best treatment for health problems. This drug-oriented approach, which focuses on treating the body, has worked well for acute and infectious illnesses.However, it has been largely ineffective in the treatment of today's chronic health problems such as stroke, heart disease, arthritis, cancer, insomnia, chronic pain, and mental illness, in which emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle factors play a prominent role.
Psychotherapy and Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids
Not surprisingly, 85 percent of insomniacs never seek medical help. Insomnia has become an epidemic affecting desperate, silent sufferers who, believing that their doctors can't help them or will prescribe habit-forming prescription sleeping pills, have been left to fend for themselves, typically spending years battling the problem futilely and suffering needlessly.
You may be one of the many insomniacs who have turned to expensive, time-consuming psychotherapy in your belief, or perhaps your doctor's, that insomnia is caused by "psychological problems." Not only does this belief induce feelings of helplessness and diminished self-esteem; there also is no scientific proof that psychotherapy is effective for insomnia, in large part because the majority of insomniacs do not have a psychiatric problem such as anxiety or depression. This is why trying to treat insomnia as a problem caused by psychiatric factors is destined to fail and only contributes to the stigma of insomnia being a "psychiatric" problem.
Millions of other insomniacs have turned to a slew of new over-the-counter nighttime sleep aids such as Tylenol PM, Excedrin PM, and Anacin PM, whose manufacturers have capitalized on this epidemic. These products, cloaked in the brand names of trusted medicines, avoid the stigma associated with prescription sleeping pills. Consequently, they are one of the fastest-growing classes of health care products today, with sales soaring to over $100 million in 1992. Yet, in truth, there is no scientific evidence that these medications are any more effective than a sugar pill!
Like prescription sleeping pills, over-the-counter sleeping aids can have unwanted side effects, lose effectiveness over time, and bolsterthe belief that the cure for insomnia comes from something external, which can foster psychological dependency and feelings of helplessness. Most important, these sleep aids don't cure insomnia because they don't treat the causes. Therefore, if you stop taking over-the-counter sleep aids, your insomnia will return.
Insomniacs spent an additional $200 million annually on one recent self-help craze for insomnia: melatonin. Health fads are nothing new, but rarely does one strike with the force of "melatonin madness," which hit its peak in 1995. Advertised at drugstores with signs proclaiming WE HAVE MELATONIN and extolled by the media and national magazines and books as the cure-all for insomnia, melatonin has also been trumpeted as a cure for heart disease, diabetes, depression, and aging. Demand for melatonin was so high that for almost a year vendors had a hard time keeping it in stock.
As we will see, however, the exaggerated claims about melatonin's benefits for insomniacs go far beyond established scientific evidence. It turns out that these claims are based on only a few selected studies, one of which was conducted by a scientist who owns a company that sells melatonin. What insomniacs do not know is that there are just as many studies showing that melatonin has no consistent beneficial effect on insomnia. Consequently, the public has been given an unbalanced picture about the present state of knowledge concerning melatonin, knowledge that is woefully incomplete. Therefore, if you are using melatonin, you are assuming unknown risks.
Why are insomniacs willing to spend money on melatonin and gamble their health on unproven claims about its effects on sleep? Probably because melatonin is available over the counter, is inexpensive, is promoted as "natural" (lead is also natural, yet can be dangerous), and because the lure of a fast and easy panacea for insomnia is irresistible.
Although melatonin may ultimately prove to be effective for some insomniacs, you are risking your health by using it. You are also relying on something external, which only leads to dependency. And because melatonin, like all drugs, does not treat the causes of insomnia, your insomnia will return if you stop taking it.
A Breakthrough in the Treatment of Insomnia
The only true hope for insomnia sufferers is the development of a safe, natural, and effective drug-free treatment that addresses the causes of insomnia. This program has not existeduntil now.
Based on ten years of research and clinical practice that I have conducted at Harvard Medical School, the groundbreaking program presented in this book is the only drug-free program scientifically proven to conquer insomnia. The results are extraordinary: 100 percent of insomnia patients report improved sleep and 75 percent become normal sleepers as a result of this program; improved sleep is seen to be maintained or even enhanced at long-term follow-up; and insomniacs fall asleep faster using this program than using sleeping pills.
The program is also natural, easy to learn, and practical. It has no side effects, yields results that last, optimizes empowerment and self-control by demonstrating that the cure for insomnia resides within you, enhances mind-body control, and improves health and well-being.
Why This Program Is Different
My insomnia program achieves its remarkable results because it is based on a simple yet powerful concept: insomnia can only be treated by addressing all the underlying causes. In most instances, the causes of insomnia are thoughts and behaviors (habits) that are learned and can be unlearned. Some examples include:
• Attitudes and beliefs about sleep
• Negative, stressful thoughts about insomnia
• Feelings of loss of control over sleep
• Inadequate exercise or exposure to sunlight
• Going to bed too early or sleeping too late
• Trying to control sleep rather than letting it occur naturally
• Negative responses to stress
• Lying awake in bed, frustrated and tense
The following story, about one of my patients, illustrates the idea that insomnia is caused by thoughts and behaviors. Does her experience sound familiar?
Carol was a forty-seven-year-old nurse whose insomnia began after the death of a close friend. After experiencing sleeplessness for a few weeks, she started to worry about it, which only made it harder for her to sleep. Carol also began "trying" to fall asleep, which backfired and made her more wide awake, tense, and frustrated.
After a month of sleepless nights, Carol began to expect that she wouldn't sleep, which caused her to fear going to bed. Although Carol had exercised for years, she became so fatigued from insomnia that she stopped exercising. She also began to try to catch up on sleep by spending more time in bed and sleeping late on weekends, all of which seemed to make her sleep worse.
Carol became so desperate that she began drinking a glass of wine or taking a sleeping pill to fall sleep, both of which disturbed the quality of her sleep and made her feel guilty and out of control. Her preoccupation with sleep, coupled with the stress of diminished performance at work, only compounded her insomnia. It wasn't long before Carol began to wonder if something was wrong with her mind and whether she should visit a psychiatrist.
By the time Carol came to see me, she was sleeping less than five hours per night and had been experiencing insomnia for several years. As a result, she always felt exhausted and irritable and was becoming depressed. She perceived her bed as the "enemy" and wondered whether she would ever sleep well again.
Carol then entered my Insomnia Program at Deaconess Hospital. After just a few days in the program, her sleep started to improve. After six weeks, she eliminated sleeping pills, fell asleep easily, and stayed asleep. As a result, she was able to sleep over eight hours per night, awakened refreshed, and "loved her bed again." She also felt more empowered, more confident, and had more control over her mind and body. Even Carol's husband remarked that she was like a new person!
Larry was another patient who came to my program suffering from insomnia. He was a fifty-year-old attorney whose insomnia began during law school. Although Larry could fall asleep easily, he frequently awoke during the night and would lie awake for hours. When Larry came to see me, he had been experiencing insomnia for more than five years and was sleeping about four hours per night, leaving him feeling wiped out, frustrated, and desperate.
After two weeks in my program, Larry slept through the night for the first time in years. By the time he completed the program, he was sleeping nearly seven hours per night and was able to fall asleep again easily if he woke up. Larry was calmer, more energetic, and more productive during the day and also felt more control over his emotions and health.
Carol and Larry achieved their remarkable success by learning a variety of nondrug techniques:
• Viewing insomnia as a learned problem that can be unlearned
• Changing negative, stressful thoughts about sleep
• Managing stress more effectively
• Eliciting the relaxation response, an inborn biological response that allowed them to voluntarily produce the brain-wave patterns that induce sleep
• Using the power and biology of positive beliefs about sleep
• Strengthening the brain's sleep rhythm by reducing excessive time in bed and getting out of bed at the same time every day
• Receiving exposure to bright sunlight and exercising at specific times of the day
• Unlearning the habit of trying to sleep
• Using naps to boost mood and performance
• Developing a sense of control over sleep
Carol's and Larry's cases illustrate that insomnia can be conquered only by addressing all the underlying causes, which, in most cases, are thoughts and behaviors. Sleeping pills and psychotherapy don'teffectively treat insomnia because they don't treat the thoughts and behaviors that cause insomnia; they reinforce dependency on external solutions, which minimizes self-control and empowerment.
You, too, can improve your sleep and your life the way Carol and Larry did. The rest of this book will show you how.

The book Say Good Night to Insomnia has many excellent suggestions. It does not, however, work well as a Nook book. There are a number of diaries and worksheets that require filling out and this is not possible with the Nook. I have had to borrow a copy of the book from the library and either make copies on a copier or type them on my computer and run off multiple copies. It is very inconvenient.
I have been an insomniac for a very long time. I have been on Ambien for 8 years. I found the book to be life changing. I attend a sleep study service. I sleep with a c-pap machine,. does nothing for me. My internist wanted me to "try" to get off Ambien, and four months ago asked if I would start thinking about it. At my sleep study appointment this book was recommended by the nurse practioner. I use a nook so I declined buying the book from her for $13.99 and bought from BN for $9.99. The truth found in this book has brought this 64 year old woman to a drug free sleep. I found the book to be a bit redundent but maybe I needed to hear the details over & over. I am still working on the program but just the facts helped me get off the medicine I was afraid of with GOOD reason. I am not jumping into bed and fast a sleep but I am thinking different about sleep. It is ok to sleep 4 hours...my brain doesn't have to feel like its gone. I can smell clean air and walk a little. Ya gotta read it!!!! (and say no to sleep drugs)
Was recommended by the sleep clinic intake nurse. Has a history of sleep studies and their data and then gives weekly lessons to follow. I wanted to get off sleeping pills and this helped me.
The information presented is clear and to the point; each chapter builds upon information previously presented without being redundant. Tools for application are easy to use, with step-by-step instruction in how to apply concepts and use the recommended journaling for tracking of progress. Problem solving concepts are easily understood, research based and well referenced for both the casual and professional reader. Utilization is simple, and the book may be read in sections as the ideas are implemented, or in full before applying techniques. The book is useful for the professional looking for concepts to help with clients, as well as an easily used tool for use by the reader.
I know I can't say enough about this book. I have not finished it yet, but have gained so much insight from it already. This book is extremely informative, enjoyable to read, and very motivating. It is very easy to understand and to follow the program. I believe this book can & will help anyone who reads it, and puts it into practice. I know it has already helped me immensely!
The methods used in the book are all based on solid science and practices proved over a ten year period. The methods are holistic. You will not only sleep better, but you will be a healthier and happier person. I agree with the others that the tone of the book in the first few chapters can be improved, but the book is good enough that it is worth tolerating.
I'm a terrible insomniac who has slept well for three weeks since reading this book. If you have insomnia, this book is nothing short of a miracle. That said, brace yourself for the most annoying Self Help tone ever. Keep reminding yourself that the author is a serious researcher and that his methods do work, in spite of the 'quack' tone of the prose. It's a shame he put this slick gloss on otherwise creditable information. A February 2005 article in Slate explained the success of this method, in contrast to the new sleeping pills available. Read this article to remind yourself why you're reading the book, then read the book.
It's a dreadful book, full of acronyms with no key and no index.
I was extremely excited about reading this book after the reviews I read on this website. I agree with the critique that it is very repetitive. I had to skim several areas that were just repeating over and over again what had been previously stated. I took one reviewer's advice about skipping the chapter about sleeping pills, because I don't use them. The techniques sound like they would work, but a lot of what is suggested in this book seems to only apply to people who work normal hours and sleep at night. There is a very short section at the end about shift work, but there is nothing helpful there. The problem is that I (like many shift workers) have to switch to normal sleeping hours on my days off to spend time with my family. However, I did try the techniques in the book designed to reduce the stress of worrying about not getting sleep, getting out of bed when sleeping isn't happening, etc. They did not work for me. I tried to reach the author to see if he had any more recommendations for people with shift work, since such people have some of the highest numbers of insomniacs. I was directed to a program he founded called cbtforinsomnia. I contacted them for help with a detailed account of my insomnia problem, and the short response I got was "The book is for insomnia, not shift work, as is our website. Good luck." Considering the fact that this book and his program is not addressing people who have some of the highest rates of insomnia, and that this book did not help me with my insomnia, I gave a low rating. I would have given it one star, but I appreciate the effort that was put into this book, and if I was able to try to sleep at night every night, perhaps his plan would have worked better for me. For people who are forced to work shift work, I recommend looking at other options.

For Scouts on a hike or a canoe trip, a compass is an important tool. Because it gives you a stable reference point (magnetic north), you can set a course and follow it. As long as your compass is accurate and you don't damage it, it will serve you faithfully—if you trust it. Our faith or spirituality is something like that. We have a point of reference that does not change: God. And we have a compass, so to speak, in our relationship with God. It's something we have learned and continue to learn about, just as we learn to use a compass properly.
We use our spirituality and faith to get us through this grand journey we call life. If we are prepared to trust the things we have learned about God, our spirituality can guide us through the joys and the temptations of life. We can use it to show us what service we can give and what potential dangers to stay away from. We can use it to guide us in our friendships, in our work, in what we say to people and about people, and in how we treat our natural world.
Leave No Trace has 7 principles. Normally, we know the pick up our trash and take it with us, but here is the complete list.

Short Takes: Does A-Rod's punishment fit the crime?
Short Takes is a feature where you get to ask any of our hosts about something in the news and they'll give you their take on it.
Robert Glass emailed about New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez who was just suspended for the entire 2014 regular and postseason. He wanted to know whether Vince Marotta, of the Dan Bickley Show with Vince Marotta — now on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM — thought the punishment fit the alleged crime.
I also asked Vince about the two teams he thinks will make it to the Super Bowl.
Here is Vince's take:
If you have a question for one of our hosts on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM or News/Talk 92.3 KTAR just email your name and question to
firstname.lastname@example.com. You can even ask your question with a short video. Simply attach it to your email.

I think it depends what school. I was enrolled at Kaplan and paid twice what I would pay for a regular degree and now being enrolled at a "real" university - they won't accept my credits! So it was a major waste of time, my only consolation was my employer paid for it so it was a free waste of time. My advice would be a) either make sure the online program you are looking at is really going to give you what you need and transfer to a real degree or b) do distance learning through a real university so you don't have to worry about it.

15 North Carolina Swimming Holes To Take A Dip In This Summer
Taking a dip in a cool swimming hole is a favorite North Carolina past time. With the weather warming up, the kids (almost) out of school, and that vacation mindset kicking in…it's time to plan a fun day trip to a swimming hole. Looking for the perfect place for a romantic day, or a getaway with the whole family? These fifteen are worth checking out!
This natural crater turned lake goes as far as 15ft. deep, but the kicker, you can ALWAYS see the bottom. For a slice of crystal clear water and white sand you'd think could only be found in the Bahamas, White Lake is a great destination. Cypress trees lend a beachy vibe and the water is just beautiful. It's no surprise that during the 1920's White Lake used to be a luxury resort/getaway...today it's more laid back but some of the houses still remain from its heyday.
This extremely popular, literal, sliding rock is a well loved swimming hole. Sliding down the rock into that crisp mountain water is just exhilarating. It's a great place to take the kids.
Two miles down U.S 276, past sliding rock, is Looking Glass Falls. This impressive waterfall makes for breathtaking scenery. The pool is perfect for dipping your toes in after a long mountain hike. While not the best swimming hole, young children will be able to splash and play next to an immaculate waterfall...what a fun experience!
For a swimming hole with plenty of swimming, Hooker Falls is your destination. Grab a tube and float along while enjoying the calm sound of a waterfall. Or live a little and try out the rope swing. Located in DuPont State Forest, Hooker Falls is a popular destination for a cool dip on a hot day.
For a taste of the mountains west of Durham, check out Eno River. This state park offers swimming, hiking, and even a rope swing.
Located in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Deep Creek is a popular destination for tubing. Take a pit stop at Tom Branch Falls to take it all in.
A sandy beach, blue water, and mountain views are waiting for you at Lake Lure. Located near Chimney Rock, you can hike in the morning and cool off in the afternoon. Sounds like a perfect day to me!
For my easterners, Deep Bottom is a popular swimming hole along the Cape Fear River. Deep bottom got its name from the fact no one has ever swam to the bottom...so no one knows quite how deep it really is. Looking for some mischievous summer fun? Deep Bottom seems like a well kept secret.
A swimming hole I frequented a lot growing up was the Yadkin River. For piedmonters, it's the perfect place to cool off. Ask a local and they'll tell you where you can find a rope swing and even some small waterfalls.
I might be spilling the beans with this one, but this swimming hole in Yadkinville is awesome. The waterfall is small and gentle enough to sit right under. Large rocks make for the perfect place to relax and catch some rays. Not too far from everything, Shacktown is a great getaway.
You'll probably want to keep your clothes on here, at least until you hike far enough to reach Skinny Dip. This waterfall has high rock outcroppings that are excellent for jumping off of. With several small pools Skinny Dip is the perfect swimming hole to spend a day at!
Rafters love to park their raft, climb up the rock, and take a plunge into the water below. Just a few miles away is the river beach with an outdoor recreation area.
For Sliding Rock, minus the crowd, hike on down to Cashiers and take a slip then a dip.
This gorgeous and safe swimming hole rests beneath Elk River Falls. A sandy beach leading into the water makes a great place to prop a chair or towel and spend the day relaxing.
Rent a canoe and go explore one of the many hidden waterfalls on Lake Glenville. Between mountain views and crisp water, Lake Glenville is perfect for a day of water sports, boating, and swimming.
Where are your favorite spots in North Carolina to take a dip and cool off? Tell us in the comments!

Muncie, IN
David Goyer is ready to go on a Fantastic Voyage with producer James Cameron.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Man of Steel writer will pen a new treatment for the remake of the 1966 sci-fi film for Fox and Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment, which became involved with the project in 2010.
In 2011 there was talk of Real Steel and The Internship director Shawn Levy helming the project, with Hugh Jackman possibly starring. But then everything stalled out for unspecified reasons. However, with a big name like Goyer now attached, it seems like things are back in full swing.
Richard Fleischer (Soylent Green) directed the original Fantastic Voyage, which starred Donald Pleasance, Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch as scientists who got shrunk down to go inside another scientist in order to save his life during the Cold War. The premise has been parodied and reused on several occasions since.

I'm iterating over array couples and I need to sort one by the order of the other.
Say I have these two arrays:
aLinks = [4,5,6]
bLinks = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
I need to return:
aLinks = [4,5,6]
bLinks = [4,5,6,1,2,3]
meaning that i need to have the items that match first array first and than the rest, sorted by order if possible.
I'm working with d3 so I'm using forEach to go through the link sets and save the order of aLinks.
I don't know how to apply this order to bLinks
var linkOrder = [];
linkSets.forEach(function(set, i) {

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Dickson (The Electronic Battlefield) chronicles in detail the Soviet satellite Sputnik. The Soviet Union was propelled into international prominence on October 4, 1957, by becoming the first nation to successfully launch a satellite, beating the American program by several months. The Soviet spacecraft panicked Americans, who constantly looked up into the sky, spoke in hushed tones and feared that the satellite presaged an atomic attack. President Eisenhower remained calm and tried to lead the country through the media-generated crisis, but the Sputnik "debacle" helped the Democrats in the next election. Dickson chronicles the history of rocket research, including Nazi successes during WWII. American and Soviet troops vied to seize German scientists and hardware. Dickson examines the feuding between the services for control of the space program and candidly exposes the reasons for the lag in American research. Eisenhower gets high marks for his quiet mastery of the situation, pleased that the Soviets were first into space, since that set off a race to improve American education, even as it fueled an outbreak of UFO hysteria. Dickson, whose bibliography runs to 19 pages, completely understands the lure and lore of Sputnik and has done a solid job of synthesizing prior books on the subject.

From Library Journal
Space exploration is often portrayed as a U.S.-U.S.S.R. race, with the Soviet Union winning the initial lap by launching Sputnik, the earth's first artificial satellite. Yet as Dickson (The New Dickson Baseball Dictionary) reveals, for the United States, the race was also an internal competition, with the military (particularly Wernher von Braun's rocket team) and the Eisenhower administration grappling for control of the national space program. Eisenhower, who sought to demilitarize space and thereby open the skies to U.S. espionage satellites, eventually triumphed, establishing NASA as a civilian agency and successfully testing a clandestine satellite launch. Focusing on internal rivalries and including pre-Sputnik material, Dickson's book complements Robert A. Divine's The Sputnik Challenge (LJ 3/1/93), which considers the aftermath of Sputnik; James Killian's personal Sputnik, Scientists, and Eisenhower: A Memoir of the First Special Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (LJ 1/15/78. o.p.); and the scholarly Reconsidering Sputnik: Forty Years Since the Soviet Satellite (Harwood Academic, 2000; also issued as NASA Technical Memorandum 113448).

If you know nothing of the early days of the space program, this book does an adequate job of filling you in. However, if you know anything about this period you will find little of interest. The author is, after all, not a space historian, nor did he have an active part in the space age. The author is described in the book jacket as an investigative reporter. I would not recommend this book for someone seriously interested in the history of the space program, US or Soviet.
This book contains surprisingly little about Sputnik.
On page 41, the book reads "In 1968, as Apollo 11 lifted off for the Moon..." and on page 236 it states "When the space shuttle was first launched in 1982..." These events, of course, happened in 1969 and 1981, and rank among the most important space events ever (along with Sputnik's launch, certainly). How these two dates could be incorrect makes me just a little skeptical that other things I read in the book might just be a little off as well. What if a book on early US history listed Jefferson as the 4th President?
I really wanted to like this book, and altough it tended to be a little dry at times, I found many interesting stories and details, but two blatant factual inaccuracies that made it past however many people they made it past before the book's printing left me a little wary of the rest of the content. I don't want to malign the entirety of the author's work for what might be no more than typos, but I just could not get past those two.
I would like to congratulate Paul Dickson on an outstanding presentation of one of the most complex and exciting events in world history. His research is meticulous but the following corrections should be consideration in subsequent printings:
1. Page 106 describes the R-7: "...the ground shook as no fewer than thirty-two rocket boosters thundered with 200,000 pounds of thrust.
The R-7 actually has 4 engines in each of five "packets" for a total of 20 primary engines thrusting at launch. The other 12 engines were relatively low thrust "verniers" responsible for pitch, roll, and final velocity control. Each of the primary thrust chambers provided 56,000 pounds of thrust for a total of 1,120,000 pounds.
2. Page 106 states: "The three stage rocket..."
The R-7 configuration for the first three Sputniks was essentially a 1 ½ stage rocket. All engines ignited at liftoff. When the four outer packets depleted their fuel, they were released leaving the central core to continue thrusting to orbital speed. There were no upper stages at this point.
3. Page 107 states: "Ninety-six minutes and seventeen seconds later, Sputnik passed over its launchpad with its transmitter sending out a beeping noise that blared from Baikonur's loudspeakers."
Because of the earth's rotation, the launch site moves east several hundred miles (about 1000 miles per hour at the equator diminishing proportionally at the higher latitudes.) so subsequent orbital passes are offset. Sputnik could not have over flown its launch site at the end of its first orbit.
4. Page 181 states: "On March 23... the 30.66 pound Explorer III went aloft...".
The correct date is March 26.

Reviewing those events now, the Sputnik launch clearly had the largest impact. I was already space crazy, and had been following the plans for launching satellites as part of the International Geophysical Year with great interest. I had a photograph of the Vanguard rocket in my bedroom. I also knew that the Soviet Union planned a satellite, but assumed that it would come later than Vanguard. Then, pow! Sputnik is sailing around the globe, visible at sunrise and sunset. I also knew that even if we launched Vanguard the next day, it would be puny compared to Sputnik. Clearly, the Soviet Union was years ahead in space. How could that be?
Soon, the curriculum in my school was enriched with math and science and a lot of my friends decided to become engineers. Since I was good in both areas, there was a lot of pressure on me to do the same. Of the people with these talents, I was the only one who did not pursue a technical career or teaching science.
I was very impressed with this book because it captured the popular reaction to the event at the time, detailed the decisions that led up to the U.S. falling behind, and spells out what happened later (for good and bad). Although over 90 percent of what is in the book was known to me before, I found it helpful to see the pieces all put together in one place.Read more ›

Location and price.
We asked for a non smoking room but the room had a strong stench of smoke. The sign on the door indicated that it was a non smoking room but the odor indicated otherwise. There also was an ash tray on the table in the room.

The staff, which was only one person, was very nice. The water pressure was good. Even though the TV was old it had a good picture. There is a Burger King right next door. It was easy too access the interstate from the hotel.

23/365 Into the Darkness: Walking
~ Explored! Thanks everyone for your views and comments! ~
I've been meaning to take this shot for weeks (maybe months now). The weather was perfect on Friday (and by perfect I mean foggy as hell) so Colby and I drove down the road and took this shot and a couple others. They turned out pretty much exactly how I wanted. The only downer was we got stuck in the snow and it took about a half hour to get unstuck.
