"Twisty plot--great story"
Alafair Burke is an excellent writer, but then again, she comes from a family of writers. Her father Jamie Burke is a famous mystery author. Alafair is currently a law professor in New York City and in her spare time she writes. This book does not belong to either of her series. In this book the heroine is a magazine journalist, who ten years prior, was an ADA with the DA office in NYC. In hunting for a story she see a video taken from a cell phone of a women jumping down on the subway track to rescue a teenage boy, she dead lifts him up on to the platform then runs away. McKenna Jordan (our hero) think she recognizes the woman as Susan Hauptmann a friend of hers that went missing ten years before. The plot is complex and twist here and there creating more and more suspense. McKenna keeps getting herself into more trouble. The story is told in the first person and we follow McKenna throughout the story. This book is showing off Alafair growing skills as a writer. Roxanne Hernandez does a good job narrating the story. If you are a fan of mystery stories, give the book a try, you will enjoy it.
I thought this was going to be an easy short book to read. I noted that reviews were all over the place for and against. I decided to read it to see what all the controversy was about. I always like to read books about recipients of the Medal of Honor.
This is a short memoir of a young man from Nebraska. It covers his early life in his home state. He graduated from the University of Nebraska as a pharmacist. He joined the Navy went to Officers Candidate School and then joined the Navy SEALs. He was shipped to Vietnam. The part of the book covering the War is short and not too detailed. He tells of several actions he took part in. He tells of a midnight commando raid on a remote village called Thanh Phong in the eastern Mekong Delta on February 25 1969. He says they were caught in a deadly crossfire and unfortunately some Vietnam civilians were killed. He received the Bronze Star for this action. In his last action he describes very little. His platoon was sent to an island in the Mekong River to wipe out a group of sappers. They were caught unexpectedly and a fire fight started. Kerrey said he was caught in the leg by a grenade, and remembered very little of the action. For this action he was awarded the Medal of Honor.
The majority of the book describes his convalesce after have a below the knee amputation. He also briefly recounts some problems with flash backs after returning to Nebraska. The book ends here telling nothing after his convalesces.
I discovered he went on to be a small businessman, governor and then senator from Nebraska. I also learned that after this book was released the government of Vietnam has charged Kerrey with war atrocities.
Overall I found it an easy fast read that was written in a matter of fact way. The author was the narrator of the book.
This is book three in the 1790 naval series of John Pearce. In book one John Pearce and friend were illegally caught by a press gang in London at a Pub called the Pelican. So the group called themselves the Pelican from there on. The Napoleonic war has started and Britain's navy is short of men. At the end of book two, Pearce is separated from his friends and made a Lieutenant by the King.
In this book he is hunting for his friends on the HMS Leander commanded by a flogging captain. The HMS Brilliant captained by Ralph Barclay has been send to the Mediterranean. Pearce is sent to the Mediterranean to be an 8th lieutenant on HMS Victory the flag ship of Admiral Lord Hood. The action moves to the port of Toulon, the tension between crews and Captains intensifies coming to a brilliant head when HMS Leander is detached from the fleet under orders of Captain Horatio Nelson bound for North Africa.
The book is well written and has some exciting sea battles. The author obviously knows his history and the book is well researched. The story is complex and at times filled with power plays, plots twist and suspense. My only complaint is the author leaves too many unresolved threads to carry forward to the next book.
For anyone who is enthusiastic about seafaring stories as I am will enjoy the book. Peter Wickham does a good job narrating the story.
"A Complicated Man"
Second only to Horatio Nelson, Lord Thomas Cochrane (1775-1860) is considered the most successful Captain in the British Naval history. Cochrane was the tenth Earl of Dundonald. He was from a noble Scottish family.
Harvey covers the three aspects of Cochrane's career: fighting Captain in the British Navy, radical politician, he was a Member of Parliament and expatriate military genius who after suffering disgrace in England, helped South American countries and Greece battle for independence.
Cochrane's exploits were the inspiration of C. S. Forrester, Patrick O'Brian and Frederic Marryal. As you read this book you can discover the various exploits these authors used in their books.
The author shows how Cochrane used deception, tactical strategy and expert seamanship to win battles against supposedly unbeatable opponents. His strength was such that Napoleon dubbed him "Le loupdes mers" (the Sea Wolf)
Harvey captures the excitement of his daring do with gripping prose. The section about his career in Parliament and exploits in South America I found interesting which surprised me as other reviews complained about this section. In keeping the biography balanced Harvey did cover Cochrane's feud with the Admiralty and the alleged involvement in a stock exchange scandal. Later in his career he was made an Admiral in the British Navy.
Cochrane inspired a 1967 collection of poems by Pablo Neruda "Lord Cochrane de Chile" which was set to music by Chilean composer Gustavo Becerra-Schmidt. I most enjoyed the section about the Napoleonic wars. The book was narrated by Richard Matthews. If you are interested in the Napoleonic Naval Wars or British Naval history this is a book for you.
I am a fan of Jack Campbell so when I saw he had a new book out I got it. Then I started to have doubts, when I discovered it is in the fantasy genre. I normally do not read fantasy books.
The story is about two great guilds that control the world of Dematr: the mechanics and the Mages. The two guilds are in constant opposition and the only thing they agree on is that the world must not change. A storm approaches that could sweep away everything and only one person has a chance to unit humanity to stop the storm. The Guilds will try to stop her.
Alain is a young Mage who learned at a young age how to change the world with his mind. Mari is a brilliant young Mechanic who is able to run steam locomotive and repair sophisticated computers. They must learn to work together to save the world.
Campbell is an excellent writer and is a master of the plot. This book is well plotted out and flows smoothly. This is the first book of a new series so there is a lot of character development as Campbell slowly introduces the new world to us readers. There is no huge battle scene that Campbell is famous for but maybe that will happen in a future episode. I found this book interesting enough to look forward to the next episode release.
This book is only being released in audio format. The book was released 2 December 2014 in time for the Christmas gift season. Macleod Andrews narrated the story.
This is a great story; it is one of those books that grab your attention immediately. Eugene B. Fluckey and the USS Bark sank 140,000 tons of Japanese shipping from April 1944 to the end of the War.
Admiral Fluckey takes his own memories and weaves it together with a crewman's illegal diary, reports, letters, ship logs, and interviews as well as archival documents from the Japanese Navy to provide a detailed account of the U.S.S. Barb's eight through twelfth War patrols. Apparently Fluckey was a brilliant, courageous, fair Captain most concerned about bringing his men home safe. Not a man was wounded onboard Barb while he was the Captain.
"Lucky Fluckey" pioneered new submarine tactics that are still used today. The high point in the book is a night surface attack through miles of shoal water to attack two Japanese convoys in a harbor in China. Fluckey won the Medal of Honor and the Barb was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. Fluckey won the Navy Cross four times, the Navy Distinguish Service medal with one gold star and many more medals. Eugene B Fluckey was a 1935 graduate of the U. S. Naval Academy. In 1989 the Navy honored him by naming the Nuclear Submarine Combat System Training Center after him. The only building named for a living person.
The narration is clear, concise and vivid. Admiral Fluckey is a good writer and the story is not just about him but all the crew of the Barb. The book is well researched. The hardcover book also has lots of photographs. The book is an excellent study of sub warfare tactics and naval leadership. If you are looking for an excellent book about submarines in World War II this is a book for you. I read somewhere that Steven Spielberg has purchased the movie rights to the story. Corey Snow narrated the book. Corey Snow does an excellent job narrating the book.
"A great new series"
This is book three in the Empire series. It appears this book is being used as background filler about the decay of the Empire. Avalon and the Rim colonies are not part of this story.
Instead we have Marine pathfinder, Specialist Belinda Lawson who survived the fighting on Hon, and is now assigned to serve as a bodyguard to the child Roland, the heir to the Imperial throne. Nuttall portrays him as a puppet and a spoiled brat and a possible addict. Roland is starting to realize the Empire is collapsing but is he too late and too little power to change things? The Grand Senators plot and struggle to gain more power, mega corporation tighten their grips on power, the Empire is corrupt and falling apart. A plot is discovered to assassinate Roland can Lawson protect him?
The author appears to be creating a world of good guys and bad guys. The character development in this episode is poor. What is going to happen to the Marines? What is going on at Avalon? Guess I will have to listen to next book to find out. Jeffrey Kafer narrated the story.
Until I read this short book I did not know much about Yew except that he took over Singapore after World War II and is the founding father of modern Singapore. Yew was Prime Minister from 1959-1990.
Graham Allison and Robert Blackwell two leading strategic thinkers asked Yew questions and also put together information from his voluminous writings and speeches. The book is mainly in a question and answer format, the result is this concise, but important book.
I found myself engrossed in the incisive wisdom presented by Yew. I really enjoyed the following comment in the book. "China tells us that countries big and small are equal, that it is not a hegemon; but when we do something they do not like, they say you have made 1.3 billion people unhappy. So please know your place." When asked if India will match China's rise? Yew said "Not likely, India is not a real country. Instead, it is 32 separate nations that happen to be arrayed along the British rail line." I think Yew's comments about China are right on the mark. When asked by the authors will China accept its place within the postwar order created by the United States? Yew answered, "No. It is China's intention to become the greatest power in the world—and to be accepted as China, not as an honorary member of the West." One comment he made has got my attention. Yew said "The United States focuses on individual rights but has failed to pair this with individual responsibility.
Yew is 90 years old and his comments on the United States are pertinent to many of the debates in which we are enmeshed today. This book has triggered my interest to learn more about this most insightful man. Michael McConnohie and Francis Chau narrated the book.
"A page turner"
This is book three in the Longknife series. In this episode Kris faces the imminent threat to her planet. Kris is accused of stealing fund that were to go to farmers, while on leave awaiting a hearing her great grandfather King Al sends her to see an old friend of his dying on a different plant. She returns to Wardhaven as an invasion is pending. She skirts the law and organizes a flotilla to defend Wardhaven against a force of hostile warships.
In this book we see Kris develop her command skills as she takes command of a large force of her own. The humorous prose adds delight to a fast pace, action packed suspenseful story. On the negative side I am getting tired of Shepherd's constantly repeating the phrase "one of those Longknife's." I am beginning to enjoy "Nelly" Kris's computer. I find Nelly's development fascinating. Dina Pearlman narrated the story.
I have read several biographies about Condoleezza Rice, now I shall obtain the information from her via this memoir. Rice always appears gracious, well poised, intelligent and well dressed. The other books I read provided a good deal of information about her childhood and education. I am most interested in learning about her time as national security advisor and Secretary of State. The book is long at 750 pages. I read these types of books to obtain knowledge therefore I keep an open mind while reading.
The book appears to be a comprehensive look at the foreign policy strategy of the Bush administration. Rice defends many key decisions; she also acknowledges the mistakes and missteps made along the way. Rice admits that the administration mishandled concerns about the Kyoto climate change treaty and failed to respond positively, after the September 11 attacks, to NATO's invocation of the "article five" that it was considered an attack on all NATO states.
Rice reveals that the well-publicized dispute with Cheney and Rumsfeld were not personal but simply business-- policy differences. Cheney and Rumsfeld lambasted Rice in their books. She is more polite than they were insisting the difference were about policy not personality. As secretary of State she points out the nuclear pact with India and the disarming of Qaddafi, to the passionate commitment to Africa: programs to fight AIDS, development of grants, and pressure to reduce killings in Darfur. Rice did not reveal much about her personal life but I did notice two things that were important to her, prayer and exercise.
The book is written in a matter of fact style of the Academic, which of course, she is, as her professorship at Sanford University indicates. She writes as if she is an ordinary person talking to you over tea. She writes with clarity. One thing I learned from the book is what the National Security Advisor does. I compliment her on the following: that she respected other person opinions and she gave credit to her deputies and assistants, which is rare to see in memoirs these days. Rice narrated the book. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in history or political science.
"A 1790s sailors view of China"
I am a big fan of historical "age of Sail" naval genre particularly those set during the Napoleonic era. I enjoyed the first book in this series "Kydd" so I have ventured on to book two in the series. The time frame of the book is 1793.
Thomas Kydd and his friend Nicolas Renzi is now Able Seaman aboard the frigate HMS Artemis. After a battle against the French frigate Citoyenne which includes hard to had combat the Artemis barely wins the battle. Our heroes are promoted to Petty Officers. Kydd sister arrived in port to tell him their father is gravely ill. Kydd obtain permission for leave to visit his father before the Artemis sails for India and China.
Stockwin paints a full vivid picture of naval life with lots of attention to detail. It is obvious there is lots of knowledge and research behind this book, as well as knowledge about Royal Navy life of that era. Stockwin is a good writer and drives the story forward at a good clip. The characters are original and interesting. The book is entertaining and educational. I can recommend this book to anyone interested in nautical historical fiction. Christian Rodska narrated the book.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Dec 7 - Gateway Bank, San Francisco, has announced that CEO Jeffrey Cheung has been appointed to a newly created Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee. Cheung will be one of just eight committee members selected from around the nation to serve a two-year term. Currently there are 181 Minority Depository Institutions in the nation and Gateway Bank is ranked 81st based on total assets.
This new committee, which will convene at least twice per year to advise the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, places Cheung in a unique position to offer input to OCC and share the perspective of minority thrift institutions.
Im honored to receive this appointment to the OCCs Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee, said Jeffrey Cheung, CEO, Gateway Bank. As one of only 14 remaining minority thrift institutions in the country, Gateway continues to successfully promote financial services for the communities we serve. I am looking forward to working with other members of the committee and the OCC.
According to the OCC, the Minority Depository Institutions Advisory Committee will offer insights to the OCCs bank supervision workforce on providing technical assistance, encouraging formation of new minority depository institutions, and safeguarding the minority character of these institutions during mergers and acquisitions. These typically small institutions, which often promote the economic viability of under-served communities, face unique issues in competing with larger banks.
Cheung continued, Minority thrift institutions have a powerful role to play in job creation and providing loans and banking services. At Gateway Bank, 64 percent of our Quick$ale production came through women and minority owned mortgage banking firms. In addition, 60 percent of our commercial loans are to women or minority owned businesses, businesses located in low to moderate census tracts, or are loans for workforce rental housing. Thats a powerful engine for economic growth and an accomplishment that reflects our strong community relationships.
About Gateway Bank, FSB
Gateway Bank promotes access to financial services not historically available to the Chinese Community. One of only 14 remaining minority thrift institutions in the United States, Gateway Bank supports a variety of economic development initiatives to strengthen and provide to the communities it serves. Founded in 1990, Gateway Bank now has branches in Oakland and San Francisco with total assets of $247 million. For more information visit www.gatewayfsb.com.

Collins' two homers help Bedford topple North LL
Bedford pitcher Jacoby Collins takes a slow rolling hit by Manchester North batter Dom Dizillo for the throw to first. (Bruce Taylor/Union Leader)
Bedford will host undefeated Salem at 1 p.m. today in the finals. A Bedford win would force a winner-take-all game on Monday.
"He had a big day," said Bedford coach Tom Destafani. "I think getting in front early was big. We knew they had good pitching."
Collins then gave way to reliever Evan Schwartz, who quickly got two outs, but Nate Goonan hit a line drive home run to left to make it an 8-6 game.
"These kids pretty much always believe. No matter who was out there, they were all supportive," said North coach Matt Pellerin of his team's comeback effort. "They worked hard. It didn't matter, win or lose."
It could have been a big inning for North, but a double play erased two baserunners.

Rosa Parks, Champion for Human Rights
The women's political council
In 1946, Mary Fair Burkes, a member of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where the radical civil rights activist Vernon Johns was minister, created the Women's Political Council. (WPC). Many of the WPC Members were women faculty at Alabama State College, as was Burkes herself. Burkes had been attacked by a "club wielding police officer." Many of the women of the WPC had stories of brutal racial treatment by Montgomery's police, bus drivers, and white citizens. The WPC eventually had over 300 women members, according to journalist Juan Williams.
Other inequalities blacks experienced while riding the bus included a requirement that "negro" passengers pay at the front of the bus and then go to the back and re-board
In 1950, Burkes turned the leadership of the WPC over to Jo Ann Gibson Robinson, a colleague at Alabama State College. Robinson had also been the victim of a vicious verbal attack by a Montgomery bus driver, who stood over her and pulled his arm back as if to strike her. Stumbling off the bus, Jo Ann Robinson was crying and recalls being "inundated" by "waves of humiliation."
In her book about the bus boycott, Robinson describes daily and brutal insults against the black citizens of Montgomery, including physical beatings, assaults, wrongful arrests for disorderly conduct, verbal degradation with obscene language, financial fines, and the death by shooting of Rosa Parks' neighbor, a veteran known as Brooks. Other inequalities blacks experienced while riding the bus included limitations on service and a requirement that "negro" passengers pay at the front of the bus and then go to the back and re-board, leading to injuries or a slammed door, even though the rider had paid.
Robinson points out the unequal racial treatment on Montgomery buses, which led to the abuse and arrest of Rosa Parks and many others:
The front ten double seats on each bus (out of a total seating for thirty-six) were reserved for whites, whether there were enough whites riding the bus to occupy them or not. Even when no whites were aboard, those seats were reserved, just in case one or two did ride. In many instances black riders had to stand over those empty seats. Since about 70 percent of all bus patrons were black, especially on certain buses and in certain areas, it seemed to many riders that the reservation of seats was unnecessary.
The day-to-day injustices and emotional trauma on Montgomery buses led to community conflict, including domestic violence, juvenile delinquency, and dependency abuses. Jo Ann Robinson recalls that, "In 1956, the superintendent of a local hospital, which customarily treated many weekend fight victims, told a reporter that since the boycott began, the hospital had had fewer patients."
The WPC, led by Robinson, received more than 30 complaints against the Montgomery City Lines bus company, with some going as far back as 1953.
From 1950 to 1955, Robinson worked with other activist women, including A.W. West, N.W. Burkes, J.E. Pierce, Georgia Gilmore, Edwyna Marketta, Ella Mae Stovell, Lettie M. Anderson, Horace Burton, Ruby Hall, and Ella Mae Henderson. These were only some of those who took up the cause of abuses on the city's buses, in addition to the "shameful and deplorable one-sidedness" of the city's segregated parks and recreation systems. As Mary Fair Burkes pointed out, "We were not fighting segregation, as much as abuses of Negroes."
In May 21, 1954, Robinson sent a letter to Mayor W.A. "Tacky" Gayle, stating a warning. Since "three-fourths of the riders of these public conveyances are Negros," she wrote, "if Negros did not patronize them, [the buses] could not possibly operate. More and more our people are already arranging with neighbors and friends to ride to keep from being insulted and humiliated by bus drivers."
While neither Colvin nor Smith received the publicity that Rosa Parks did, both are now recognized in history as champions of change.
In March 1955, Robinson writes, the WPC was brought into public action after Claudette Colvin, a 10th-grader at Booker T. Washington High School, was physically removed, dragged, and pushed, then arrested from a Montgomery bus by a Montgomery police officer, who called the teenager a "black whore."
The community responded to Claudette Colvin's arrest by organizing the Citizen's Coordinating Committee. After meeting with the police commission and the manager of the bus company, nothing was done, though the committee was able to show dozens of complaints filed by citizens with the WPC and other organizations. Claudette Colvin was found guilty of assault and battery and of violating state segregation laws. She was sentenced to "indefinite probation" and declared a juvenile delinquent.
In October 1955, Louise Smith, an eighteen-year-old maid, refused to move to the colored section. "I am not going to move," she said, "I got the privilege to sit here like anybody else." Though the NAACP met with her family through E. D. Nixon and WPC, again the decision was made not to make a constitutional challenge with Ms. Smith as the lead Plaintiff.
The cases of Claudette Colvin and Louise Smith were eventually selected as part of a class action lawsuit, which later formed the basis of the U.S Supreme Court's ruling that struck down Montgomery's segregations laws. While neither Colvin nor Smith received the publicity that Rosa Parks did while these events were occurring, both are now recognized in history as champions of change. The intense work around the Colvin and Smith cases primed Montgomery and the world for the visionary organizing of the 13-month bus boycott that would begin months later, on December 1, 1955.

- The Sicilian Mafia first manifested in the 1940's
- Cosa Nostra translates to "Our thing"
- The FBI coined the term La Cosa Nostra

- Law officials say that in the past 30 years the russian mafia and russian crime families have grown so large and their criminal endeavors so vast that they may now be larger than the Cosa Nostra
- The Russian mafia will kill any one. A New york police officer was quoted as saying "They will shoot you just to see if there gun works" Unlike the Cosa Nostra who has a rule that they do not go after cops because it causes to many problems.
- The Serbian Mafia worked with the Italian Mafia to dominate the illegal cigarette smuggling operations and made billions doing so
- Serbian criminal enterprises are most active in the European Union (EU) Countries
- The Serbs offered affordable contract killing and rarely discriminated where the contracts came from
- Serbian criminals were often recruited to a state security force called "Red Berets".
- Israeli Mafia is one of the few criminal organizations that has NOT succeeded in corrupting law officials, judges and the police force. Al Capone on the other hand was famous for his corrupting abilities and having everyone in his pocket so to speak.

- Ecstasy pills trafficking was on the top money grossing projects this mafia undertook and its rumored they even supplied the Gambino crime families under boss Sammy Gravano. U.S. customs states the Israeli Mafia is on top of the multi billion dollar ecstasy ring and the 7 million pills they have confiscated didn't even dent the flow of pills.
- Ex Soviet Crime organizations in Israel flourished when massive amounts of Russian Jews immigrated to Israel in 1989.
- Abergil Crime Family was the most notable in the Israeli Mafia
- Albania has 15-30 different organized crime families or clans from the same mafia enterprise. Around 20 members per family that means the Albanian Mafia in Albania alone consists of around 300-600 members.

Snapshot of a Stock: The Balance Sheet
Successful investing has no secret formula. Since financial statements are basic tools of fundamental analysis, it is important to be able to read and analyze them.
Investing Know-How
How Interest Rate Changes Affect the Price of Bonds
Whether the interest rate movements are caused by Federal Reserve actions, economic conditions or inflation fears, the impact on the bond investor is the same: Rising interest rates reduce existing bond values and falling interest rates increase existing bond values.
Seems simple enough.
But how will your bond investments be affected by changes in interest rates?
Since bonds differ by maturity, coupon rate, type of issuer and other factors, figuring out how your bond or bond portfolio will be affected by interest rate changes can be complex. Fortunately, you don't need a math degree to understand the basic concepts. Here are some simple guidelines for judging the price volatility of your bonds.
What Affects Bond Price Volatility
The price that a bond sells for in the market today is the sum of all future cash flows, discounted in value because they are not available today. A dollar tomorrow is worth less to you than a dollar today. The discount rate used is the rate of interest prevailing in the...

Life Cycle Funds
Life cycle funds are marketed as a maintenance-free way for individuals to invest for retirement. They were created under the assumption that many individuals needed a one-stop investment vehicle that properly rebalances their portfolios over their investment lives, as their investment needs change. Typically, in an individual's younger years, riskier but higher-return potential assets should be emphasized, but as the individual approaches retirement, the percentage commitment to these types...

Maybe you're the first person in your workgroup to get the 2007 Office system. Or perhaps you work with some departments who need to use Office documents saved in an earlier format. You can still share documents with each other. Here's how.
You can open a file created in previous versions of Office, from 95 through 2003. Just open the file as usual. After working with it in the 2007 version, you may want to save the file. By default, the Save As dialog box saves a file created in a previous version as that same version. As you save, a Compatibility Checker will let you know of any new features added to the file that may be disabled, or matched as closely as possible.
Note If you open a presentation created in PowerPoint 95, PowerPoint will default to the 2007 format when you save it. But you can choose to save the file in the 97-2003 format.
If you want to save the file in the 2007 format, select Word Document, Excel Workbook, or PowerPoint Presentation in the Save as type box.
Colleagues who have Word, Excel, or PowerPoint versions 2000 through 2003 (and the latest patches and service packs) can open 2007 files. When they click on your document, they will be asked if they want to download a converter that will let them open your document.
You can learn more about the new file format in individual courses about Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007. The links to these courses are in the Quick Reference Card.

Don Was: "I Really Love It!"
Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen had a fling in the 1960s that, for unspecified reasons, was short-lived, with Cohen instigating the parting.
It was then and is now a complex connection. In 1988, Cohen said, I'm still very friendly with Joni - I had dinner with her before the tour, and I have the same admiration for her as you do. But I think it was Noel Harrison who came up to me in the LA Troubadour and said "How do you like living with Beethoven?"

"Do I Have To Dance All Night" was performed many times in concerts but was never released in the US.
As part of my crusade to popularize this song, I've cobbled together 2 videos - one for the semi-funky 1976 version with Laura Branigan and one for the 1980 more gypsy, less disco version - that kinda sorta fit the music.
As of Dec 19, 2012, the video of the 1976 version of Do I Have To Dance All Night has been viewed 70,152 times.
The 1980 version has been viewed 16,458 times.

... I never had a chance. I was - and this is the only word that fits - smitten. I still am.
She was smart and quick-witted, although it would take me 3 years to recognize that she was, in fact, much smarter than me, and then another 2 years to forgive her for that. She was also good-looking and unabashedly sexy.
And, we fell madly, irredeemably, unflinchingly in love.
Complementing the unlikely story of how Julie and I met, fell in love, and - 9 years, 2 husbands, 1 wife, and 2 careers later - got together to spend an outrageously wonderful 20 years together before her death, a video, set to the poignant "In My Secret Life" by Leonard Cohen and Sharon Robinson, is now available that evokes the role Julie, who died 10 years ago, continues to play in my life.
The written account of the story (think When Harry Met Sally meets Waiting For Godot) starts, appropriately, at This Is How A Love Story Began
The video can be found at And We're Still Making Love In My Secret Life - A Video For Julie

The 2012 USBLN® Annual Conference & Expo is the preeminent national business to business event that taps into the vast economic potential of the full inclusion of people with disabilities.
This conference brings corporate, government, disability-owned businesses and BLN affiliates together to create workplaces, marketplaces, and supply chains where people with disabilities are fully included as professionals, customers and entrepreneurs.
This year's event will deliver enhanced networking opportunities, offer exciting interactive sessions, and feature respected thought-leaders and industry luminaries.
Presentation: "The Aging Workforce: Challenges and Opportunities for Employers", by Susanne Bruyere and Judy Young
Panel Discussion of the Alliance Mentoring program that provides career mentoring opportunities for college students and graduates with disabilities through linkages to business professional. Mentee and Mentor perspectives were shared through a best practices and lessons learned approach.
The Citizen-Centered Leadership Development Community of Practice series is a unique combination of self-paced distance learning study, robust field work, interactive class assignments and live webcast instruction designed to advance theoretic and skill-based learning leading to quality outcomes in the lives of people with disabilities.
Testing New Activity
This informational seminar provides basic information pertaining to the TANF and SNAP programs using lecture, PowerPoint and opportunity for question and answer. Online polling will be used to test participant knowledge. A preparatory reading assignment will be provided and is required.
Recently, there has been a great deal of attention to the fact that the U.S. workplace now spans four generations. How can employers ensure that work is meaningful and adapted to the needs of workers across these four generations? For the most part, disability has not been part of the mainstream of this conversation. Yet, disability issues are central to understanding and responding to the multi-generation workforce in several ways: The meaning of "disability" has changed significantly over time; the legal and policy climate of disability in the workplace has evolved; different generations tend to experience different types of disabilities; and with the aging of our population, more people with disabilities will be in our workforce. In this session, we will co-explore the multi-generational workplace and examine how employers can ensure that everyone can fully contribute their talents.
This informational seminar provides basic information pertaining to federally-subsidized housing using lecture, PowerPoint and opportunity for question and answer. Online polling will be used to test participant knowledge. A preparatory reading assignment will be provided and is required.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau there about 21.8 million veterans in the U.S. with nearly 10 million in our workforce. Generally, veterans have employment and education levels similar to the overall population. Yet, younger male veterans (age 18 – 24) who served during recent engagements have an unemployment rate that is nearly double that of their non-veteran peers. Furthermore, the number of veterans with a service-connected disability has risen dramatically among Gulf War veterans. Although employers generally have positive attitudes toward employing veterans, they struggle with issues and misperceptions around employing veterans with disabilities.
In this session, we will review the statistics about returning veterans, including veterans with the signature disabilities of PTSD and TBI. Also, we will briefly review two studies suggesting some key employment-related issues and misperceptions about veterans with disabilities. Finally, we will discuss key steps employers can take to ensure veterans with disabilities are welcomed into the workforce.

Your story is like Thom Hogan's article on tripods - start with a cheap one with a pan-tilt head, get better legs, then get a cheap ballhead, then a better ballhead, then better legs, finally you wise up and get Gitzo (or RRS) legs and a top quality head. The EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. It's Canon's best zoom lens, and quite likely the best zoom lens available from any manufacturer. If you want the best, you'll end up there - so skip any more intervening steps and get the best.
My 2 cents.EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM prime lens. It looks and feels like the 100mmL macro and 135mmL primes that you already enjoy."It's sharper than the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II zoom and a third of the size and cost." -Roger CicalaIf you can catch one of the end of the month sales on Canon refurbished website. Last month they had a refurbished model with 15% off @ $557.59 Also takes the 1.4xIII and does quite well.The EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM is awesome, but I've seen the good ones used for around 4K
The 200 f/2.8L is a really nice lens. However, it AF's way slower than the 70-200L and offers a lot less flexibility, which is why I don't think it'll help him much for sports, whereas the zoom, and yes quite expensive, will. It'll be a tough choice. Two bodies/two primes or a single body and the zoom.
Quote from: bwfishing on March 31, 2013, 01:25:05 AMThe EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM prime lens does not use phase-detection AFAs far as I can remember NO EF LENS can detect AF???

After Mark Cavendish's win in the first stage of the Giro d'Italia, stage two was open for the taking. The race was a 17.4km team time trial around the island of Ischia.
A technical course with four climbs really pushed the riders after a day of flat racing. In the end it was Team Sky that came up to take the team trial in a time of 22:05. The individual winner was Italian Salvatore Puccio, 'It's means a lot. After two years working for the team, today I took a big personal win. Everyone dreams of this jersey. Whoever races dreams of taking part in the Giro and wearing the pink jersey.'
Team Sky are riding with Elite water bottles, Shimano bike parts and making sure they can see in the Italian sunshine each rider wears Oakley sunglasses.
Stage 3 was the first mountain race in the Giro, starting at Sorrento and travelling 222km along the Italian coast to Marina Di Ascea. Featuring two moderate climbs it was the turn of the non-sprinters to come up the ranks and persevere. In the end Italian Luca Paolini took the lead in his Giro debut, making a late attack in the last 10km and won stage 3 in a time of 5.43.50.
Stage 4 saw the triumph of another Italian Enrico Battaglin, after heavy rain split the petoton, Bradley Wiggins lost 17 seconds after being caught behind a crash. But Battaglin sprinted to a surprise victory with a winning time of 6.14.19.
With Chris Froome being given the nod for the Tour de France, this really is Bradley Wiggins time to shine, but after slipping to sixth place in the Giro d'Italia things are not looking good. However with several flat races coming up he will have a chance to make up the time.

Zend Framework Subversion Standards
What is Subversion?
"SVN (Subversion) is a tool used by many software developers to manage changes within their source code tree. SVN provides the means to store not only the current version of a piece of source code, but a record of all changes (and who made those changes) that have occurred to that source code. Use of SVN is particularly common on projects with multiple developers, since SVN ensures changes made by one developer are not accidentally removed when another developer posts their changes to the source tree." --sourceforge.net
For more information, please visit the official Subversion site.
The Zend Framework Subversion Repository
The Zend Framework is an open source project, and the complete source code can be downloaded anonymously by direct checkout from its Subversion repository. For information on how to receive automatic notification of changes and updates to the Zend Framework and documentation, please see RSS Feeds and Notifications.
Also see these examples showing how to make patches.
Anonymous Checkout
The most up-to-date working copy of the Zend Framework is the trunk. This includes all the newest features and bugfixes and incubator components. However, the latest versions of each file often have far less testing, and may or may not have fewer bugs than the versions found in the most recently released, stable version of Zend Framework in the download area.
Please report new bugs, submit patches, or comment on posted issues using the Issue Tracker.
Anonymous Checkout using MS Windows
- Install TortoiseSVN and restart your computer
- Create a new folder called "ZendFramework-trunk"
- Right click on the new folder, choose "SVN Checkout", and enter this URL: http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/trunk/
- The Zend Framework core components will be in the subfolder "library" inside of the "ZendFramework-trunk" folder.
- Incubator components (see next section) will be in the subfolder "incubator" inside of the "ZendFramework-trunk" folder.
- Before reporting bugs, first update your downloaded copy of the framework by right-clicking on the "ZendFramework-trunk" folder and selecting "SVN Update".
- Repeat for the ZF Lab with the URL: http://framework.zend.com/svn/laboratory/
Using the Zend Framework Incubator Components
Follow the procedure above for "Anonymous Checkout". After proposals for new components or major rewrites of existing components have been accepted, the new components are first placed into the "incubator": http://framework.zend.com/developer/browser/trunk/incubator
When incubator components are considered sufficiently mature and stable enough, then they are moved into the normal location for Zend Framework components. Incubator components are not bundled with the Zend Framework download, but are included with the Subversion download/checkout process.
Those wishing to use incubator components, may use them by modifying PHP's include path:
See also the Zend Framework Proposal Process.
Prior Release Versions
All versions of the Zend Framework that are released to the public are tagged and also available for download from the repository. Checkout or export http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/ and check the tags directory for previous releases.
Using Subversion from behind a Proxy / Firewall
Squid: If svn does not work on your lan, and you have a Squid Proxy (ask your IT staff), then try adding these 3 lines of code to the Squid Proxy's squid.conf file:
Subversion Write / Commit Access
Frequently, suggesting and making changes works best when attaching a patch to an issue in our issue tracker. The community will have an opportunity to review your patch, comment on your notes in the issue ticket, and make suggestions. Then, you can review these comments and possibly make improvements to the patch, before it is committed.
SVN Access
Write access to SVN is granted to component and project team coordinators and higher volume contributors. If you need access to SVN, you may request it on the mailing list or through a coordinator that you have worked with previously, however appropriate. In general, we do not grant SVN access to anyone who signs a CLA. There are additional criteria used to determine whether a person needs SVN access. Even in cases where SVN access is granted, it is typically limited to one or more focus areas, and component and project team coordinators will be responsible for managing commits by other team members having SVN access.
You do not need an SVN account in order to make contributions to the Zend Framework, however, as we gladly accept feedback on the mailing list and patches to be submitted via our issue tracker. If indeed you are interested in collaboration, we recommend reading and providing feedback over the fw-general mailing list, where most collaboration takes place each day.
You may also submit a proposal (after discussing such on the mailing list), and upon its approval you would receive limited SVN access to facilitate adding the proposed code, unit tests, and documentation.
SVN Usage Rules
A few rules should be kept in mind when using SVN:
- All commits should contain commit comments.
- If a commit is resolving an issue from the issue tracker, the issue KEY should be indicated in the commit comment (i.e. "This resolves ZF-2"). This will cause it to be auto-linked from Fisheye to the issue, and also the reverse link from the issue back to Fisheye. The issue key can be seen when viewing any issue in the upper left corner of the screen.
- All commits that would affect release notes should have an associated issue in the tracker. There are issue types for most situations, and if it is just a significant change that does not fit into another category, use the issue type "Patch."
- When resolving an issue, feel free to edit the issue's title to be clearer based on anything you learned while fixing it. This will aid the readability of the release notes.
Create new dirs for new proposal
Tip - SVN auto-props
In your SVN client config file (e.g. ~/.subversion/config) you can use the following settings to automatically set svn:keywords=Id on PHP files that you add to the framework repository. This doesn't work for files that already exist in SVN, of course, but it may be useful:
We added the "Id" keyword to most files in the ZF SVN repository in changeset 1605:
This instructs Subversion to substitute $<keyword>$ with certain information. Prior to committing, Subversion unsubstitutes the keywords (to prevent artificial differences arising) in order to prevent recording artificial differences. Then, Subversion updates the files with values substituted for these keywords. These keywords (Id Author Date Rev) help to keep track of meta information on each file, even after exporting. Thus, even the snapshot releases contain the following information in each file that has an $Id$ keyword, and the corresponding SVN properties set on that file:
Revision: This keyword describes the last known revision in which this file changed in the repository,
Date: This keyword describes the last time the file was known to have been changed in the repository
Author: This keyword describes the last known user to change this file in the repository,
Id: This keyword is a compressed combination of the other keywords.
When you add a new file, simply make sure to copy the following into the top of the file:
How often should code be committed to the Subversion repository?
Released Components (including released incubator components)
Avoid breaking existing functionality.
Commit your changes as often as code is completed and tested successfully. No code should enter the repository that is not tested, but you also may not want to hold off on committing large chunks of work that are incomplete, and in this case, interstitial commits should be acceptable, so long as they do not break existing functionality.
Unreleased Incubator Components
Prior to the first public release of an incubator component, incubator contributors should commit early and often, regardless of unit tests and documentation completion. Indeed, documentation will require reworking as often as the API changes, and it is unnecessary to have to do this reworking for incubator components not yet selected for release in the core framework. Although most consider testing while developing best practice, it is more important that code enter the repository on a daily basis for enabling review and continuous work by other framework contributors. That is, incubator contributors should commit their outstanding work on a daily basis, whether it is "complete" or not, until the component is selected for inclusion with a public release of the Zend Framework (including a publicly released incubator component). After the time when a component is selected for release, the more strict policy of committing only unit-tested code would apply, and the API should stabilize enough for writing documentation to be included with the release.
