Am enjoying my time reading this book. The book seems to stand apart in its insights about what makes organizations great in their results. Most books i had read about before spoke about how great corporate heroes changed the destiny of the organizations. This book balks down on the hero culture of corporate head honchos.
Jim Collins conducted thorough research in non-IT industries studying what helped companies achieve great result over a period of time. Some of the insights include – the type of leaders that would make companies sucessfull, the type of people to be part of, what type of people to keep and what type to let go and more.

This American Life (TAL) is an American weekly hour-long radio program produced by WBEZ and hosted by Ira Glass.[2] It is broadcast on numerous public radio stations in the United States and internationally, and is also available as a free weekly podcast. Primarily a journalistic non-fiction program, it has also featured essays, memoirs, field recordings, short fiction, and found footage. The first episode aired on November 17, 1995,[3] under the show's original title, Your Radio Playhouse. The series was distributed by Public Radio International[4] until June 2014, when the program became self-distributed with Public Radio Exchange delivering new episodes to public radio stations.[5]
A television program of the same name ran for two seasons on the Showtime cable network[6] between June 2007 and May 2008.
Each week's show has a theme, explored in several "acts". On occasion, an entire program will consist of a single act. The most acts was in the episode "20 Acts in 60 Minutes". Each act is produced by a combination of staff and freelance contributors. Programs usually begin with a short station identification by Glass who then introduces a segment related to the theme which precedes act one. The segment will then lead into the presentation of the theme for that week's show.
Content varies widely by episode. Stories are often told as first-person narratives. The mood of the show ranges from gloomy to ironic, from thought-provoking to humorous.[citation needed] The show often addresses current events, such as Hurricane Katrina in "After the Flood". Often This American Life features stories which explore aspects of human nature,[citation needed] such as "Kid Logic", which presented pieces on reasoning of children.
The end credits of each show are read by Glass, and include a sound clip extracted out of context from some portion of that show, which Glass humorously attributes to previous WBEZ general manager Torey Malatia, who co-founded the show with Ira Glass in 1995.
Glass has stated he is contractually obligated to mention both station WBEZ and distributor PRI three times in the course of the show.[7]
Glass, the program's creator, has served as executive producer and host since its November 17, 1995, debut. The program's first year was produced on a budget that was tight even by U.S. public-radio standards. A budget of US$243,000 covered an outfitted studio, marketing costs, purchased satellite time, and paid for four full-time staffers and various freelance writers and reporters.[8] National syndication began in June 1996 when Public Radio International formed a distribution partnership with the program. It airs on 509 PRI affiliate stations in the United States reaching an estimated 2.1 million listeners each week.[9] The show is also carried on XM Satellite Radio over the Public Radio International block on the XM Public Radio channel. The program consistently rates as the first- or second-most downloaded podcast on iTunes for each week.[10]
Originally titled "Your Radio Playhouse", a local show on WBEZ, the program's name was changed beginning with the March 21, 1996 episode.[11] It was picked up nationally by PRI in June 1996.[12] The reference to each segment of the show as an "act" is a holdover from its original "playhouse theme". The program helped launch the literary careers of many, including contributing editor Sarah Vowell and essayists David Rakoff and David Sedaris.[9]
Early response to the program was largely positive. In 1998, Mother Jones magazine called it "hip – as well as intensely literary and surprisingly irreverent."[13]
In January 2011, the series was picked up by CBC Radio One in Canada.[14] The program is shortened slightly for the Canadian broadcast to allow for a five-minute newscast at the top of the hour, although this is partly made up for by the removal of mid-program breaks, most of the production credits (apart from that of Malatia), and underwriting announcements (CBC's radio services being fully commercial-free, except when contractually or legally required).
In January 2012, "This American Life" presented excerpts from a one-man theatre show by Mike Daisey as an exposé of conditions at a Foxconn factory in China.[15] The episode was entitled "Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory" and became one of the show's most popular episodes, with 888,000 downloads and 206,000 streams. WBEZ planned to host a live showing and a Q+A of "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs" in Chicago on April 7, 2012.[16]
On March 16, 2012, "This American Life" officially retracted the episode after learning that several events recounted both in the radio story and the monologue were fabrications. Daisey apologized for presenting his work as journalism, saying it is actually theatre, but refused to acknowledge that he had lied—even in the face of obvious discrepancies. WBEZ canceled the planned live performance and refunded all ticket purchases.[16] The same day, This American Life devoted their weekly show (titled "Retraction") to detailing the inconsistencies in "The Agony and Ecstasy of Steve Jobs".[17] The show includes interviews between Rob Schmitz, the reporter who discovered the discrepancies and Daisey's translator in China, Cathy Lee, as well as an interview between host Glass and Daisey. The podcast of this episode became the most downloaded in the show's history.[18] However, the Harper High School series broadcast in February 2013 surpassed it in number of downloads.[citation needed].
The show also removed three stories by Stephen Glass (no relation to Ira Glass) in the week following the retraction of the Daisey episode due to less-than-truthful content. These were noted to have been previously removed, but had resurfaced in episode streams due to a website redesign. Though the segments are cut from the streams of the episodes, the transcript of the contents were kept accessible on the This American Life website. These were from the episodes "57: Delivery", "79: Stuck in the wrong decade", and "86: How to take money from strangers".[19]
In 2014, it was announced that PRI would stop distributing the show in July. After a few months, in May, Ira Glass announced that the staff would be distributing the show themselves, with Public Radio Exchange doing the technical legwork to deliver the audio to the radio stations.[20]
Discussions of a television adaptation of TAL date back to at least 1999.[8] In January 2006, Showtime announced it had greenlighted six episodes of a new series based on TAL.[21] The announcement noted that each half-hour episode would "be hosted by Ira Glass and [...] explore a single theme or topic through the unique juxtaposition of first-person storytelling and whimsical narrative."[21]
For budgetary reasons, Glass and four of the radio show's producers left Chicago for New York City, where Showtime is headquartered.[9] In January 2007, it was announced that Glass had completed production on the show's first season, with the first episode set to premiere on March 22. Originally the series had a contract for a total of 30 shows over the four years,[22] but after two seasons Glass announced that he and the other creators of the show had "asked to be taken off TV", largely in part to the difficult schedule required to produce a television program.[23] He went on to state that the show is officially "on hiatus", but would like to do a television special at some point in the future.[23]
Stories from TAL have been used as the basis of movie scripts. In 2002 the show signed a six-figure deal with Warner Bros. giving the studio two years of "first-look" rights to its hundreds of past and future stories.[24] One film to have apparently emerged from the deal is Unaccompanied Minors, a 2006 film directed by Paul Feig and reportedly based on "In The Event of An Emergency, Put Your Sister in an Upright Position" from "Babysitting".[25] In June 2008, Spike Lee bought the movie rights to Ronald Mallett's memoir, whose story was featured in the episode "My Brilliant Plan".[26] Potential Warner Bros films from TAL episodes include "Niagara", which explored the town of Niagara Falls, New York, after those who sought to exploit the tourism and hydroelectrical opportunities of the area left; "Wonder Woman" (from the episode "Superpowers"), the story of an adolescent who took steps to become the superhero she dreamed of being, well into adulthood; and "Act V", about the last act of Hamlet as staged by inmates from a maximum security prison as part of Prison Performing Arts Adult Theatre Projects. Paramount Pictures and Broadway Video are in production on Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill, a film based on the TAL story in the episode "My Experimental Phase".[27][28]
This American Life's 168th episode, "The Fix Is In", inspired screen writer Scott Burns to adapt Kurt Eichenwald's book about business executive and FBI informant Mark Whitacre, titled The Informant, into a major motion picture.[29] The film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Matt Damon.[30] Glass has stated that the radio show has no financial stake in the film, but noted that he appreciated how well the movie stuck to the original facts.[30]
This American Life's 361st episode's, "Fear of Sleep", section "Stranger in the Night" featured an excerpt from Mike Birbiglia's one-man show, "Sleepwalk with Me". This inspired Glass to work with Birbiglia for two years on a movie based on this segment. The movie Sleepwalk with Me screened at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23, 2012, to favorable reviews, winning the "Best of NEXT Audience Award".[31]
In May 2011, Walt Disney Pictures announced it was adapting a movie from a 2009 episode titled "The Girlfriend Equation".[32]
Live tours[edit]
This American Life has taken the radio show on the road three times since 2000;[citation needed] material recorded on each of the three tours has been edited into an episode which aired on the radio shortly after the tour. Other episodes include segments recorded live.
- "Music Lessons", recorded at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco during the 1998 Public Radio Conference in San Francisco. Performers include Sarah Vowell, David Sedaris and Anne Lamott. Music includes elementary school students from the San Francisco Unified School District as well as "Eyes on the Sparrow" with Renola Garrison vocals and Anne Jefferson on piano.[citation needed]
- "Advice", recorded in 1999 in Seattle and at HBO's U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. Performers include Sarah Vowell, Dan Savage, and Cheryl Trykv with music from the Black Cat Orchestra.[citation needed]
- "Birthdays, Anniversaries and Milestones", recorded in December 2000 in Boston (Berklee Performance Center), New York, Chicago (Merle Reskin Theatre), and Los Angeles. Performers included Sarah Vowell, Russell Banks, David Rakoff, Ian Brown, and OK Go.

- "What I Learned from Television", recorded in February and March, 2007 in New York City (February 26 at Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center); Boston (February 27 at the Boston Opera House); Minneapolis (February 28 at the Orpheum Theatre); Chicago (March 1 at the Chicago Theatre); Seattle (March 7 at the Paramount Theatre); and Los Angeles (March 12 at Royce Hall, UCLA). Directed by Jane Feltes, performers on this tour included David Rakoff, Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, Dan Savage, Jonathan Goldstein, and Chris Wilcha. In New York, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, and Minneapolis, Mates of State were the house band, while in Los Angeles, OK Go performed between acts.[citation needed]
Digital cinema[edit]
On May 1, 2008, This American Life was the first major public media program to use digital cinema, distributing a one hour long program titled This American Life – Live! to select cinemas. PRI originally conceived of the idea to serve stations around the country.[33] This American Life Live! was presented exclusively in select theatres by National CineMedia's (NCM) Fathom, in partnership with BY Experience and Chicago Public Radio, and in association with Public Radio International.[34]
On April 23, 2009, This American Life broadcast a second theater event, titled This American Life – Live! Returning to the Scene of the Crime. Contributors included Mike Birbiglia, Starlee Kine, Dan Savage, David Rakoff, and Joss Whedon.
On May 10, 2012, This American Life broadcast a third theater event, titled Invisible Made Visible. Contributors included David Sedaris, David Rakoff, Tig Notaro, Ryan Knighton, and Mike Birbiglia, who made a short film with Terry Gross.
On June 7, 2014, This American Life recorded a fourth live event titled The Radio Drama Episode. Contributors included Carin Gilfry, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Birbiglia, Joshua Bearman, and Sasheer Zamata. The episode was broadcast on radio and the podcast on June 20, 2014.
From 1998 to 2005, the program could be accessed online in two formats: a free RealAudio stream available from the official show website, and a DRM-encrypted download available through Audible.com, which charged $4 per episode. In early 2006, the program began to offer MP3 copies of each episode, which could be streamed from the show's website using a proprietary Flash player.
Since October 2006, the program has offered a free podcast feed to the public. Under this arrangement, each show is made available to podcast subscribers on the Monday following its national broadcast. After seven days, the link to the MP3 is removed from the podcast feed. Older shows can be streamed online via the show's website, or purchased from Apple's iTunes Store for $0.95 per episode.
Since the move to MP3 files in 2006, the show has relied on an extremely lightweight Digital Rights Management system, based on security through obscurity and legal threats. While the show episodes are removed from the podcast RSS feed after a week, they remain on This American Life's server, accessible to anyone who knows the location. On at least three different occasions, Internet users have created their own unofficial podcast feeds, deep linking to the MP3 files located on the This American Life webserver. In all three instances, the podcast feeds were removed from the Internet once representatives from Public Radio International contacted the individuals responsible for creating the feeds.[35][36][37]
As of March 2012[update], a typical podcast episode was downloaded 750,000 times.[38]
Mobile apps[edit]
There are apps available in Apple's iTunes Store. These apps contain MP3 audio of the podcast. They can be found by searching "This American Life" in Apple's iTunes Store.
WBEZ-FM received a Peabody Award in 1996 and again in 2006 for TAL, for a show which "captures contemporary culture in fresh and inventive ways that mirror the diversity and eccentricities of its subjects" and "weav[es] original monologues, mini-dramas, original fiction, traditional radio documentaries and original radio dramas into an instructional and entertaining tapestry".[39]

In popular culture[edit]
This American Life was referenced in the television series The O.C., prompting the character Summer to respond, "Is that that show by those hipster know-it-alls who talk about how fascinating ordinary people are?" and, with a dismissive snort, "Gawd!" This reference was itself repeated in a segment of the 2007 Live Tour episode, when Glass, a self-confessed shameless fan of the teen soap opera, described his experience responding to the aforementioned line.[42]
The Onion, a parody newspaper, published a satirical story on April 20, 2007, entitled "This American Life Completes Documentation Of Liberal, Upper-Middle-Class Existence".[43]
In 2011, comedy writer Julian Joslin (with Michael Grinspan) released a parody of This American Life entitled "This American Laugh"[44] on YouTube, wherein a fictional Glass makes a sex tape with Fresh Air's Terry Gross.[45] The spoof was viewed over 100,000 times in one week but was met with a cool reception by Glass himself.[46]
Fred Armisen parodied Ira Glass for a skit on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" in 2011.[47] The skit was cut from the show on the grounds that Ira Glass "not famous enough" to be parodied on Saturday Night Live.[48] Glass then invited Armisen to impersonate him as a guest co-host for an episode of This American Life in January 2013.[47]
In 2013, Stanley Chase III, Mickey Dwyer, Ken Fletcher, and Matt Gifford launched the parody podcast That American Life on iTunes, which is hosted by "Ira Class".[49][50]
In the show "Happy Endings", when her friends are mocking her taste in television, Alex responds, "I may not know what an Ira Glass is."
Ira Glass has been parodied on the NPR Parody podcast, Consider Our Knowledge.
In a season 3 episode of HBO's Girls entitled "Truth Or Dare", the character of Hannah listens to This American Life on her phone while stranded in the woods.
In two episodes of Season 1 of Orange is the New Black, Robert Stanton portrays a radio personality, Maury Kind who hosts an NPR show called Urban Tales, a fictional portrayal of This American Life.[51][52]
The 2014 motion picture Veronica Mars depicts the character of Stosh "Piz" Piznarski working at This American Life. Host Ira Glass appears in a cameo role as himself, and many This American Life staffers appear in background roles.[53]
Episodes of TAL are accompanied by music. Some songs are used between acts and are credited in the episode guide for the show. Other songs are used as thematic background music for stories and are not credited.
"Over the years, we've used hundreds of songs under our stories—and in some stories, we use a number of different songs in different sections. We tried to answer these emails for awhile [sic?], but often it was impossible sometimes to pinpoint which song people were asking about...".[54]

Just in time for Halloween, young Republicans in Arlington, Va., introduced the "Tax Reaper," a character designed to point out tax hikes supported by Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe.
"Terry McAuliffe is too spooky for Virginia," said Matthew Burrow, chairman of the Arlington Falls Church Young Republicans.

The AFCYRs, the largest young Republican organization in Virginia, unveiled the Tax Reaper on Tuesday at an event with Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli.
"The Tax Reaper is a manifestation of the job-killing, tax-raising policies that Terry McAuliffe would support as Governor," said Matthew Hurtt, vice chairman of the AFCYRs.
Too close Ken! Too close! (Matthew Burrow/AFCYR)
Those "tax-raising policies" include $14 billion in new spending that would lead to a $1,700 tax increase on average families, according to Cuccinelli. The figure was derived from the left-leaning think tank Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis and economic forecaster Chmura Analytics.
McAuliffe also supports the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would require online retailers to charge state taxes for their products. As the Washington Examiner noted in June, the tax is yet another example of businesses with powerful lobbyists using the federal government to squash their competitors.
The Tax Reaper will make several more appearances in Arlington on Wednesday and Thursday.

Deana Bracken Design/Green with Glamour
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Website: deanabrackendesign.com
Los Angeles based designer, Deana Bracken, dropped us a line to introduce us to her company, Deana Bracken Design, and her online shop Green with Glamour. With a background as a segement producer for design-driven television shows, Deana has now branched out on her own, creating well styled, "well meaning" living spaces. She combines livable glamour "with the spirit of modern and eco-responsible style." Much of her work incorporates themes in nature, as well as re-finishing antiques in sustainable materials such as hemp, and no-VOC (no-Volatile Organic Compound/non toxic) coatings.
From the sampling of projects shown on her site, I love her mix of colors, as well as the juxtaposition of antiques and artwork. Her rooms integrate the homeowner's personality and you definitely get a sense of soul, as opposed to just a style. In addition to design consulting, Deana also has launched a small collection of "green" accessories, currently consisting of organic pilows and soy candles, with more items on the way. Find out more info here.

what an inspiration! if only more designers could adopt this kind of philosphy. and i love how the soy candles are packaged - each with their own vintage charm - nice touch.

Learn More About Working at CBO and the Agency's Career Opportunities
July 22, 2008
CBO released a letter this morning that analyzes the Administration's July 14th proposal to provide temporary authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase obligations and other securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks. The authority provided under this proposal would expire on December 31, 2009. (The Congress may consider a slightly modified version of the proposal, but it is unlikely that the modifications would have a significant effect on the estimated costs.)
- CBO estimates the expected federal budgetary cost (that is, taking into account the probability of various possible outcomes) from enacting this proposal would be $25 billion over fiscal years 2009 and 2010.
- Using historical and industry estimates of the expected losses on the different types of credit risk that the GSEs face in their current portfolios, CBO estimated the firms possible credit losses under thousands of possible future market conditions for housing prices. That analysis suggested that there was more than a 50 percent chance that the GSEs future losses would not exceed those already recognized, but there was almost a 5 percent chance that the added losses will total more than $100 billion. Given that distribution of possible future losses, CBO then evaluated how much assistance might need to be provided to the GSEs to allow them to continue operating in the capital markets.
- In particular, CBO assumed that the Secretary would want the GSEs to continue to have the ability to tap the capital markets after the temporary authority expired and that financial markets would provide such capital to the GSEs only if market participants perceived the GSEs to be sufficiently capitalized in terms of the value of their assets relative to their liabilities. Evaluating what financial markets would view as sufficiently capitalized requires judgment; CBOs approach is described in more detail in the letter. In other words, if the value of the GSEs assets was perceived to be insufficient relative to their liabilities, the Secretary would have to provide equity capital or subsidized debt to the GSEs before the temporary authority expired. CBOs estimate of $25 billion in costs over the 20092010 period reflects a probability-weighted average of how large those injections might need to be, including zero as a potential outcome.
CBOs estimate reflects the current budgetary treatment and existing scorekeeping conventions for federal credit assistance and equity purchases and does not necessarily measure the underlying change in the federal governments financial condition as a result of this legislation. On the one hand, the acquisition of financial assets like equities is recorded as an outlay in the budget even though such purchases may not change the governments underlying financial condition. On the other hand, even if enacting this legislation would not result in outlays over the near term, it might effectively strengthen the linkages between the GSEs and the federal government and thereby increase the governments underlying exposure to the risks associated with the GSEs activities.
A final point to note is that a strong argument can be made that if the Treasury used the proposed authority, the GSEs operations should be incorporated directly into the federal budget. That is, the proposal, especially to the extent it would result in any government acquisition of an equity stake in the GSEs, raises a significant budgetary question. Currently, data on the GSEs are reported along with federal budget information each year, but the activity of those entities is not encompassed within the budget. That treatment could change if the federal governments financial stake or control changes in a significant way. For the purposes of this cost estimate, CBO did not incorporate any change in the underlying budgetary treatment of the GSEs, in part because the proposed authority would be temporary; if it is not used, the relationship between the GSEs and the federal government would presumably return to one consistent with current budgetary treatment after the temporary authority expires.

Unetanneh Tokef
Unetanneh Tokef, Unethanneh Toqeph, or Unesanneh Tokef (ונתנה תוקף) is a piyyut that has been a part of the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur liturgy in rabbinical Judaism for centuries. It introduces the Kedusha of Musaf for these days. Describing the important place this prayer has in the service, the ArtScroll machzor calls it "one of the most stirring compositions in the entire liturgy of the Days of Awe."[1]
Composition of Unetanneh Tokef[edit]
Recorded in the 13th century commentary Or Zarua, legend has it that Unetanneh Tokef was composed by a purported 11th-century sage named Rabbi Amnon of Mainz (or Mayence, in Germany) -- who, apart from this one story, is utterly unknown to history. Friends with the Archbishop of Mainz, Rabbi Amnon was pressured to convert to Catholicism. As a delaying tactic, he requested three days to consider the offer; immediately after, he regretted intensely giving even the pretense that he could possibly accept a foreign religion. After spending the three days in prayer, he refused to come to the bishop as promised, and, when he was brought to the bishop's palace, he begged that his tongue be cut out to atone for his sins. Instead, the bishop ordered his hands and legs amputated — limb by limb — as punishment for not obeying his word to return after three days and for refusing to convert. At each amputation, Rabbi Amnon was again given the opportunity to convert, which he refused.
This event occurred shortly before Rosh Hashanah. On that holiday, as he lay dying, Rabbi Amnon asked to be carried into the synagogue, where he recited the original composition of Unetanneh Tokef with his last breath. Three days later, he appeared in a dream to Rabbi Kalonymus Ben-Meshullam (died 1096), one of the great scholars of Mainz, and begged him to record the prayer and to see that it was included in the text of the High Holiday services. Thus, the legend concludes, Unetanneh Tokef became a part of the standard liturgy.[2]
However, modern scholarship has demonstrated that the prayer is in fact considerably older than it was traditionally believed, with fragments found in the Cairo Geniza dating to the 8th Century.[3]
While medieval history testifies amply to the intense persecution of Jews by Christians at the time of the Crusades, there are difficulties with the legend that it was composed by Rabbi Amnon of Mainz. Not least of these is its portrayal of R'Amnon as an illustrious Torah giant, while Jewish history of that period provides no record of a 'Rav Amnon of Mainz' at all. It seems unlikely that a person of such tremendous stature would be remembered only in a single legend.[4] Moreover, the discovery of the Unetaneh Tokef prayer within the earliest strata of the Cairo Geniza materials makes it almost impossible that the prayer could have been composed as the legend claims. Additionally, some scholars see parallels with non-Jewish hymnology, suggesting that elements of the prayer stemmed from other sources.[5]
Rather, the prayer was likely written by a payetan (perhaps Yannai) in the Land of Israel several hundred years earlier.[4] Authorship in the Land of Israel is corroborated also by internal evidence, such as the concluding three-part remedy of 'repentance, prayer, and charity', which is found in exact permutation[6] in Genesis Rabbah (composed in the Land of Israel), yet not in Babylonian sources (e.g., Talmud Bavli cites a four-part remedy)
Unetaneh Tokef displays significant liturgical skill, seamlessly fusing concepts and language from ancient Biblical and Rabbinical source materials (see #Themes and Sources of Unetanneh Tokef).
Position in the Prayer Service[edit]
In the Ashkenazic ritual, Unetanneh Tokef is inserted during the Mussaf service, when the chazzan repeats the Amidah , as a Silluk (parting poem) just before entonning the kedusha. In the Sephardic ritual, Unetanneh Tokef is usually omitted, as Sephardic Jews do not recite piyyutim during the Amidah. Nevertheless, because of the importance of this prayer, many Sepharadic congregations (mainly Moroccan) recite it immediately prior to the commencement of the Mussaf service. The congregation stands up to chant it and the Torah Ark is opened. It is one of the few piyyutim that is recited on both days of Rosh Hashanah and on Yom Kippur in the Polish tradition whereas it's only said on Rosh Hashanah by Sepharadim and German Ashkenazim who have another silluk for Yom Kippur: "Mi Ya'arokh Eilekho".
Themes and Sources of Unetanneh Tokef[edit]
Unetanneh Tokef is recited immediately prior to and as an introduction for the kedusha prayer, during which the angelic sanctification of God is mentioned. Unetanneh Tokef adapts this daily praise to the specific elements intrinsic to the High Holidays, namely the Divine judgment of all existence. In most printed editions, Unetanneh Tokef consists of four paragraphs, each reflecting a different aspect of this general topic.
Fear and Trembling[edit]
The first paragraph depicts the judgment day, where the angels in heaven tremble at the awe-inspiring event of the annual judgment of all creation, with the implication that man should also approach this day with trepidation. The heavenly Book of Chronicles is opened, in which every human being's fate will be inscribed.[7]

The still thin sound:
Guilt of angels:
He Judges Us[edit]
The second paragraph continues this point, depicting how every event that will occur in the upcoming year is "written on Rosh Hashanah and sealed on Yom Kippur". This paragraph is known by its opening words, BeRosh Hashana, and it is traditional that the litany of possible destinies is read with increasing speed from the phrase "Who shall rest and who shall wander" to the end of the paragraph. This paragraph reaches its climax with the final line, said by all the congregants in unison, "But repentance, prayer, and charity avert the severe decree." This verse is usually printed in more emphatic typeface and usually with, in smaller type, the words "fasting", "voice", and "money" above "repentance", "prayer", and "charity" respectively - those words are not read aloud but are intended as instructions on how to perform the three acts necessary to avoid (or reduce) the dire punishments. This verse expresses the formula by which a man may obtain a reduction in the severity of the original decree, as expressed in the Bible (Second Chronicles 7:14), the Talmud (T.B., Rosh Hashana 16b; T.J. Ta'anith 2:1) and Midrah (Bereshis Rabbah 44:13).[8]

Like a shepherd pasturing his flock, making sheep pass under his staff, so shall You cause to pass, count, calculate, and consider the soul of all the living; and You shall apportion the destinies of all Your creatures and inscribe their verdict.

Who will rest and who will wander, who will live in harmony and who will be harried, who will enjoy tranquility and who will suffer, who will be impoverished and who will be enriched, who will be degraded and who will be exalted. But Repentance, Prayer, and Charity avert the severe Decree!"
|Like a shepherd:
God scrutinizes man:
Repentance, prayer, and charity annul the decree:
We are Helpless[edit]
The third paragraph begs for Divine mercy on the basis of the fact that man by nature is sinful and innately impotent and mortal, which conditions will cause a merciful Deity to forgive his trespasses. The passage here echoes the despair found in the book of Koheleth (Ecclesiastes), but concludes—as does Isaiah 40:7, from which it apparently draws—with the contrasting affirmation that God is eternal and enduring. The text of אדם יסודו מעפר is very similar to Wisdom of Solomon 2:1, where it is presented as the philosophy which the Book of Wisdom sets out to discredit.

|"For Your Name signifies Your praise: hard to anger and easy to appease, for You do not wish the death of one deserving death, but that he repent from his way and live. Until the day of his death You await him; if he repents You will accept him immediately. It is true that You are their Creator and You know their inclination, for they are flesh and blood. A man's origin is from dust and his destiny is back to dust, at risk of his life he earns his bread; he is likened to a broken shard, withering grass, a fading flower, a passing shade, a dissipating cloud, a blowing wind, flying dust, and a fleeting dream."
|If a man repents, God accepts:
God knows man's inclination:
Man is but flesh and blood:
God is Enduring[edit]
Finally, the fourth paragraph lyrically praises God as exalted above all existence, and begs Him to sanctify His Name by redeeming Israel - transitioning directly into the kedusha:

|"But You are the King, the Living and Enduring God.
There is no set span to Your years and there is no end to the length of Your days. It is impossible to estimate the angelic chariots of Your glory and to elucidate Your Name's inscrutability. Your Name is worthy of You and You are worthy of Your Name, and You have included Your Name in our name."

Returning Cash
Commenting on "Elderly Man Returns — with Interest — Cash he Stole from Seattle Store More than 60 Years Ago" from webpage http://www.globalethics.org/newsline/2011/12/05/stolen-cash/
A man stole $20-$30 in the 1940s from the drawer of a Sears store in Seattle. Now, more than 60 years later he returns $100 to the store in an envelope.
The article said he returned the money with interest. I'm not going to do the math, but I think with interest, a loan for $30 over 60 years would probably end up costing more than $100. This guy probably just wants to clear his conscience before he dies.
The article relates this story to a story of lost money in Pittsburgh. $100,000 fell out of a courier van onto the street. Police are hoping that who ever found the money will return it. The last quote is a bit ironic "Chances are, if somebody finds money and is inclined to return it, they're going to do it immediately." says Aine Donovan, director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College. That was not the case with the old man in Seattle.
Somehow this article is making the man who stole money from a drawer look better than a person who found money on the street.
Maybe the person who found the $100,00 will return it in 60 years.

Hi, can anyone let me know how to fetch/get last inserted row in sql server.
asked Apr 23, 2010 at 09:11 AM in Default
Vijay 3
You can't get it as there is no way to tell it was the last inserted, either add a primary key or a date added field.
answered Apr 26, 2010 at 05:33 AM
You can not fetch data while there is no primary key you should add one primary key or date time field.
answered Apr 26, 2010 at 08:37 AM
Gaurav 1
Yes you can fetch data, you just can't guarantee the order of that data if you are looking for it in this way. You can order it however you want, by checksum(), alphabetically etc.. You just can't tell when it was added to the table.

State police are investigating an early morning accident that claimed the life of a New Jersey woman.
According to State police, troopers from the Turnpike Barracks in Charlton responded to the report of a wrong-way operator. The operator was observed by a toll collector driving eastbound on the Mass Turnpike (I-90) in the westbound lanes.
A short time later, a cellular caller reported a crash involving multiple vehicles, including one on fire, between Exit 10 (I-290/I-395, Auburn) and the Charlton Barracks.
State Police said a 66-year-old female from Toms River, N. J. was deceased on scene. The wrong way operator, a 33-year-old male from Leominster, was arrested and transported to UMass Medical Center in Worcester with non-life threatening injuries. At least one additional party was also transported to area hospitals.
The westbound lanes of I-90 were closed until approximately 8:50 am, while crews reconstructed the scene.

Grant Wacker, professor of Christian history at Duke Divinity School and a prominent American religion historian, has placed his Pentecostal research collection at the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center located in the Assemblies of God national offices in Springfield, Mo. It is the largest Pentecostal archives and research center in the world.
The Grant Wacker Collection was dedicated Oct. 11 in a special service at Evangel University, also in Springfield, led by Evangel University President Robert Spence. The collection consists of 13.75 linear feet of files plus numerous books, which together constitute the raw materials from which Wacker crafted his scholarly assessments of the Pentecostal movement.
"There are few scholars who have left a greater mark on the landscape of American religious history than Dr. Wacker," said Spence.
Wacker, an Assemblies of God pastor's son, was raised in Springfield. He is the grandson of Ralph Riggs, who served as general superintendent of the Assemblies of God from 1953 to 1959. Wacker earned his Ph.D. at Harvard University and has taught American religious history at Duke Divinity School since 1992.
Pentecostal history has been one of Wacker's primary research interests, and his 2001 book, Heaven Below: Early Pentecostals and American Culture, has become a standard text on the subject. He is now writing a book entitled Billy Graham and the Shaping of Modern America, under contract with Harvard University Press, but retains interest in developments in Pentecostal history.
When Wacker began his Pentecostal historical research in 1979, he made a visit to the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center (then known as the Assemblies of God Archives). He became friends with the center's director, and the staff has provided camaraderie and scholarly assistance to Wacker since then.
