Bookstores? They need to adapt and change, too, as many have. Because they are valuable, sacrosanct for some. Holy places. The church of the passionate reader, the beloved local business that nurtures local writers; a community's heart and soul thriving on that most precious of commodities: ideas, words, art, emotion.
CIRP estimates that proprietary program viewership ranges from over 80 percent of HBO Go subscribers who have watched at least one episode of Game of Thrones to less than 40 percent of Amazon Prime members who have watched at least one episode of Transparent.
Amazon announced on December 26 that 10 million new Amazon Prime members "tried" it in the 2014 "holiday season." Based on CIRP analysis of prior Amazon Prime member conversion and retention, we estimate that 7 million of these customers will pay for a one-year Amazon Prime membership.
Google works very differently from other companies that have been dubbed "gatekeepers" and that are regulated accordingly. We are not a ferry, a railroad, a telecommunications network, or an electricity grid with only one line serving you and no competitors allowed. No one is stuck using Google. People have choices, and they exercise them all the time. We know that if we cease to be useful, our users will leave. The barriers to entry are negligible, because competition is just one click away.
Across industries, across geographies, and across all demographics, companies are no longer winning consumer love against category competitors. Today the battle for consumer loyalty is against companies in any category that define excellent service, lightning fast responses, and bespoke experiences.
When I received the call, today I was on deadline for a book I am researching on burnout, and had completely missed this news. What I learned, researching the story myself, did not burn me out, but it did burn me up!
According to historical accounts of the First Franco-Dahomean War, in the 1890s it was the highly trained military women who were chopping off the hea...
Today, entertainment consumption is no longer about escaping the market. Rather it is about escaping cable TV through services like Roku, Chromecast, Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Who would have thought that peer-to-peer would usher in the new era of Pay-TV?
Last week, Amazon told its most loyal and supportive partners that the threat of paying state sales tax was too much for the online behemoth. And just like that, small independent entrepreneurs saw a revenue stream disappear.
My 24 second task is designed to help build, strengthen and solidify existing relationships. It is fast, effective and reliable. And best of all, it requires no prep, planning or practice. Ready?
As a marketing professor and therefore an active researcher, I pay close attention to changes in consumption and how these changes might impact marketing strategy. Below, I outline ten observations related to consumer trends and offer questions for you to contemplate as you fine-tune your marketing strategies for 2015.
Before I speculate about what 2015 holds for authors, publishers and readers, let's reflect for a moment about how self publishing has transformed the book publishing landscape.
In the brave new world envisioned by pundits, we will all be micro-entrepreneurs with personal brands -- each of us controlling our own destiny, selling our services into digitally enabled markets. Traditional employers and wage slavery will be extinct.
We have met the enemy and it is us. The secret is out - we're wasting hundreds of hours and millions of dollars in pointless meetings across organizations both big and small.
Here are 10 ways in which we should be looking to change the structure of the market in 2015 so that all the money doesn't flow to the 1 percent. This list should provide a useful set of market-friendly policies that will lead to both more equality and more growth.
Just like a book that you can read all in one sitting, you can now watch 8-12 episodes, one after another.

Fun spin on a classic game
Check into this enchanting hotel for hours of solitaire fun.
Hotel Solitaire is a fun twist on the classic card game that gives users a variety of different games that can be unlocked only one at a time. The game's creative setup ensures hours of fun as users advance through the various levels.
The premise of Hotel Solitaire is that each game is contained in a hotel room, with five rooms on each of 20 floors. Users must complete all the games on a given floor in order to advance to the next one, gradually ascending to the top. Users also unlock games in the casino as they proceed, which can be visited at any time. There are five different room colors, each of which contains a different style of solitaire, and at first this worried us a bit; we grew up playing standard solitaire and have never acquainted ourselves with its more exotic permutations. However, each type of solitaire is clearly explained, and we found all of them to be both fun and challenging. Situating each card game within the greater challenge of advancing through the hotel proves to be a great way to enliven this basic game.
The program's interface is a cute, cartoon-style rendering of a hotel, complete with elevator buttons that light up as each floor becomes accessible. Slightly creepy bellboy notwithstanding, it was fun to look at and navigate. Overall, we found Hotel Solitaire to be a delightful variation on an old game that's suitable for both kids and adults. Hotel Solitaire has a 60-minute trial period. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.

Volunteer quilters create coverlets for veterans
The 2008 Knoxville Veteran's Day Parade starts at 10:45 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 11. The parade presented by the American Legion Knoxville Post 2 travels along downtown Knoxville's Gay Street. A moment of silence will be observed at 11 a.m. to remember America's veterans and their service and sacrifices.
Weather forecast: Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of rain showers. Highs in the mid 50s.
A group of East Tennesseans found a special way to honor veterans by making quilts for the 137 residents at the Ben Atchley State Veteran's Home in Northwest Knoxville.
The gifts were presented to veterans in a ceremony at the home Monday.
Karen Rouse and Carolyn French of Midsouth's Best Sewing spearheaded the project that began six weeks ago. They named the project "Let's Hug a Veteran."
Approximately 130 individuals sewed quilts for the veterans. Some workers belonged to the Smoky Mountain Quilting Guild and the Tellico Village Quilting Guild. Cat Lovers Quilt Store discounted the materials used for the quilts.
The request was for 140 quilts, but a final total of 160 were donated. One contributor completed 10 quilts and helped on 15 more. Bailey Bates, a 10-year-old, donated a Mickey Mouse quilt she finished.
The veterans were pleased with the day's events. Bill Edwards, a survivor of Pearl Harbor, said it was good to receive a quilt and be honored. Marian Richards was excited to get a quilt. Richards was a nurse who was trapped behind German lines in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge.
"We appreciate everyone who came to honor us. It's special. During the war, we didn't know if we'd make it home or not, so we are thankful for every day."
Richards has been selected as co-grand marshal for the Veterans Day Parade today in downtown Knoxville.
One of the quilts will be used as a wall decoration. It has several patriotic panels that honor the branches of the service and recognize the different wars in which veterans have served.
Ed Harries, administrator of the facility, thanked all who had participated in the event.
"These veterans have earned this day. Each of them has a story to tell. Above all, these individuals are the people who have fought for our country's freedom," Harries said.
Donald Samuels, assistant commissioner of veteran affairs, and Rick Vickery and Linda Bailey from Disabled Veterans of Tennessee were in attendance. Several of the quilters were also on hand for the ceremony.
The program began at 2:30 p.m., but quilters and the home's staff were still busy two hours later as they passed out quilts to every resident.
"The best thing about this event was seeing the smiles on the faces of our veterans," Carolyn French said.
"We're excited to have people from the community take an interest in our residents. They enjoy visits and conversation as much as the quilts," said Eric Ammons, director of activities for the home.

When Senator Rob Portman of Ohio announced that he has a gay son and, as such, could no longer justify his opposition to same-sex marriage, reactions were mostly predictable.
Tea partiers were outraged.
Proponents of marriage equality were thrilled.
Well, most of them.
The blogosphere served up a small contingent of motive police who support the right of gays to marry, but didn't think Portman's epiphany was pure enough.
Kenneth Walsh wrote a piece titled Sen. Rob Portman Makes 'Brave' Decision -- Once It Directly Affects His Family, in which Walsh validates his superior empathy for people he doesn't know by invalidating Portman's change of heart brought about by mere personal experience.
Writer Matthew Yglesias took a similar stance in Rob Portman and the Politics of Narcissism when he wrote "I'm glad that Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio has reconsidered his view on gay marriage upon realization that his son is gay, but I also find this particular window into moderation… to be the most annoying form."
Dan Treadway wrote in Don't Give Rob Portman a Free Pass, "Rob Portman is a good father for changing his view on this issue so that he may support the rights of his son."
Okay. But as you will see, Treadway should have quit while he was ahead.
He continued, "But the fact that he was only able to feel empathy for the plight of gay people in this country -- a plight that he for decades actively contributed to based on his voting record -- only after the issue directly affected him, is definitive proof that he is an unfit politician."
Treadway has it backwards, because Portman's change of heart is precisely the sort of thing one should hope to find in a politician.
If one has, like me, dismissed Portman as a "little statesman" in the past, his change of heart makes him a little less little.
Another attack on Portman's motive is The Portman Reversal: Why He Did It DOES Matter at Ethicsalarms.com. The article skewered Portman because his motives were shaped by personal experience rather than the greater good.
Michel Martin was considerably more thoughtful and nuanced. The host of NPR's "Tell Me More" noted in her March 21 commentary When Should Politicians' Life Experience Determine Policy? that "Life experience really does matter… I read once that former President Lyndon Johnson was influenced in matters of civil rights at least as much by one of his housekeepers and the indignities she had to suffer on her trips south to open up his Texas ranch for the summer, as he was by the entreaties of the civil rights leadership."
Whatever the reason for Portman's change, it is more proof that like the former convict who speaks to young people at risk or the recovering alcoholic who sponsors someone trying to quit drinking, personal experience can and should be a part of such changes in one's perspective and subsequent actions.
Still, even Martin's more reflective, less scornful consideration sidesteps a bigger question.
Should motive matter at all when it comes to doing the right thing?
Consider the concept of being charitable.
Several years ago, author Dennis Prager offered up a hypothetical case which I presented to countless teenage students over the years:
Suppose two people who have the exact same earnings and expenses are approached by a poor man in desperate need for food and money for his family.
The first person, after listening to the man's horrible experiences, cries and then out of the goodness of his heart, gives him five dollars.
The second person, although concerned, is not moved to tears, and in fact, has to rush away, which he does. But because his religion commands him to give 10 percent of his income to charity, he gives the poor person a hundred dollars.
Who did the better thing? The person who gave the five dollars from his heart, or the one who gave a hundred dollars because his religion commanded it?
The vast majority insisted that the person who gave five dollars from his heart did the better deed.
Then I asked them who they would think had done the better deed if each of them was the one in need, they began to question the importance of motive.
Most of them realized that the quality of a deed cannot be measured on how it makes the good deed doer feel but, rather, on how much good it does.
Consider a billionaire, who for reasons solely relating to tax benefits, the public adulation and his name on a bronze plaque that will outlive him, finances a new state of the art cancer wing at a big children's hospital. If your child is treated and cured of cancer at this facility, do you give a damn about the billionaire's motives?
Does it matter that a driver was wearing the seat belt that saved his life in a terrible accident NOT because it made safety sense or because he didn't want to get a ticket for driving without it?
If you had a gay son or daughter, does it matter that Rob Portman's eyes were opened by his child rather than yours?
There might be some place in the universe in which each being's motives for doing the right thing are purely altruistic. But this planet isn't it.
Martin noted "That his opinion about gays and lesbians - and who they are, and what they should be able to do - was formed by a certain world view. And it made sense to him, until he had to reconcile that world view with another truth: the truth of his son's life, and the truth that he is the same boy Portman has loved and respected his whole life, and for whom he wants the best."
She's right. Furthermore, Portman's love for his own child is sure to expand to concern for all children in a similar plight. If any readers see a downside to this, please email me.
Until then, the reason for Portman's change of heart will remain irrelevant to me.
* The title of this article, also the title of a 1968 album by Blood Sweat and Tears, is from the poem My Heart Leaps When I Behold by William Wordsworth:
My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

What's New in Version 40.0.2214.73
• Bug and stability fixes.
Customer Reviews
Bugs and no bug reporting feature
I am leaving this bug report as a review because there is no easy or apparent way to report bugs in the app.
The fact that there is no bug reporting feature is part of the reason for the one-star rating. The second reason is because there is an large bug in the latest versions on Chrome that has yet to be fixed. The third reason is because the bug that is problematic severely limits the functionality of the app. The fourth reason is because there was such a lengthy delay between the release of the latest version and a bug fix release. With this being such important app from Google, bug fixes should be coming much more often.
All that said, the bug in Question that has been plaguing chrome since its initial release of the latest version is that the context menu, that is, the menu accessed by tapping the button with three dots arranged vertically that gives access to search, save, and other functions does not work. When tapped, the button is highlighted, but no menu is displayed. This issue remains even after the update today. Obviously, this bug severely limits the functionality and usefulness of the app, and it is a wonder it has gone this long without being corrected.
Although this is largely a bug report, there is no way to give the current version of this app a higher rating with such limited functionality due to this bug. If this bug didn't exist, the rating would be higher.
Please address this soon.
Thank you.
Comcast Xfinity badness
At first, Chrome and Safari were awful on my Comcast Xfinity WiFi. Other places were fine. After lots of fiddling, I found it was Xfinity with the new public WiFi causing the problem. To fix: unplug your personal router. With the power still on, press and hold the reset button on the back of your Comcast router, then let go. Wait 5 minutes, and don't skip this part, it's IMPORTANT! Come back and turn on your personal modem. All fixed, typing searches are responsive and pages load all the way. Hope this helps!
Why are there so many ads for such a lame app? Google chrome advertises the "ok Google" constantly; and quite frankly, what is so astonishing about it. First off, you don't say "ok Google" to activate the voice search, you click the microphone. Furthermore, why say "ok Google" when all you have to do is speak what you want to type. Also, I can just search on Safari with no problem at all. This app is lame, overestimated, and a fraud. I have never been so disappointed in all my life! Why is there such a big hubbub about an app that is exactly like safari, all you do is search stuff. Google aught to be ashamed at this app. There is nothing to great about it.

8 Healthy Pumpkin Recipes
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, In Season, November 7, 2012
Packed with vitamin A, pumpkins are good for more than carving, and it's time to expand your palate beyond pumpkin pie. They're absolutely delicious in any of these 8 healthy recipes.
Nutrition Lowdown
Both fresh and canned pumpkins are packed with nutritional goodness. Oftentimes, recipes will use the canned pumpkin since it takes a little work to use fresh. If you choose canned pumpkin, make sure to purchase 100% pureed pumpkin, not pie filling (check the ingredient list).
One cup of canned pumpkin has 83 calories, 1 gram of fat and 7 grams of fiber. It also has close to 800% of your daily recommended amount of vitamin A, 49% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin K and 19% of your daily recommended amount of iron. It also has a good amount of vitamins E and C, pantothenic acid, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese.
Creamy Risotto
This recipe uses a combo of diced and pureed pumpkin. Combined with mascarpone and fresh Parmesan cheese, it's heavenly.
Recipe: Creamy Baked Pumpkin Risotto (above)
Spiked Punch
Pureed pumpkin mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon and a splash of rum (for the adults) will help warm you up on a chilly night.

The 16-year-old country singer signed with Big Machine Records, according to a new report. Is Danielle the next Taylor Swift?
Less than two days after Danielle Bradbery took home the trophy on the season finale of The Voice on June 18, she's reportedly been signed to Taylor Swift's record label as part of her winnings.
Danielle Bradbery Record Deal — 'The Voice' Winner Signs To Taylor Swift Label
Big Machine Records also includes country stars Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts.
Danielle, 16, will head to Nashville to meet with the staff of the record company early next week and begin recording some new music for her debut album on June 24, The Hollywood Reporter claims.
Danielle's coach Blake Shelton was focused on building Danielle's country fan base during the competition.
He said, "I wanted to make sure Nashville respected her as much as they could. Obviously she's an incredible vocalist, but I wanted them to know that she respects country music. That's why we kept throwing it back to artists from 10, 20 years ago."
Danielle must have felt Blake certainly helped her, because she told THR that she hopes he continues to mentor her in the future.
Blake Shelton: Danielle Bradbery Is A Gift To The Music Industry
Blake said, "I see us standing here talking about her 20 years from now. I do believe that. I wouldn't say that, with this confidence, about anyone else that's been on this show. Danielle Bradbery is a gift to the music industry."
Danielle sang Taylor Swift's "Mean" during her blind audition. She impressed Blake, Usher and Adam Levine enough for them to turn their chairs around.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Is Danielle Bradberry the next Taylor Swift?

FDA Approves Expanded Indication For ACTEMRA® In Rheumatoid Arthritis
About Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease estimated to affect up to 70 million people worldwide, including children. Joints become chronically inflamed, painful and swollen, and patients can become increasingly disabled as cartilage and bone is damaged.
About ACTEMRA ® (tocilizumab)
ACTEMRA is the first humanized IL-6 receptor-inhibiting monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active RA who have had an inadequate response to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The extensive ACTEMRA clinical development program included five Phase III clinical studies and enrolled more than 4,000 people with RA in 41 countries, including the United States. In addition, ACTEMRA is also approved for the treatment of active Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) in patients two years of age and older.
Important Safety Information Some people have serious infections while taking ACTEMRA, including tuberculosis (TB), and infections caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses that can spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Other serious side effects of ACTEMRA include tears (perforation) of the stomach and intestines, changes in blood test results, hepatitis B infection becoming an active infection again, and nervous system problems. Serious allergic reactions, including death, can happen with ACTEMRA. These reactions may happen with any infusion of ACTEMRA even if they did not occur with an earlier infusion. Patients must tell their doctor if they have had a previous reaction to ACTEMRA. Patients should not take ACTEMRA if they are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Common side effects with ACTEMRA in rheumatoid arthritis include upper respiratory tract infections (common cold, sinus infections), headache, and increased blood pressure (hypertension). Common side effects with ACTEMRA in SJIA include upper respiratory tract infections (common cold, sinus infections), headache, and diarrhea.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I have been a customer of Fleur de Lis for 2 years now. I always come out of the salon with naturally-shaped and neat looking eyebrows, and love the tint on my brows and lashes which have been matched to my face. I highly recommend going to this salon as the eyebrow and lash treatments are good and I know I am getting them from someone experienced. I have also been advised me on a great skin care routine, and my skin texture has massively improved. I highly recommend the facials too. I always enjoy my visit to this welcoming salon, the careful attention I receive, and I leave feeling very relaxed and radiant!

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Leda Meredith
Tags: garlic, wild foods, food foraging, New York, Leda Meredith
There is one delicious wild edible plant that I can always count on foraging even during the coldest months of winter, and that's field garlic. Other names this plant goes by are onion grass, wild onion, wild garlic, and wild chives.
Allium vineale, which I know as field garlic, grows in clumps of linear leaves that are well camouflaged when they grow in grass lawns. But unlike grass or even other edible Alliums, field garlic leaves are round and hollow like those of chives.
There are a few inedible plants with leaves that, to a novice wildcrafter, could look like candidates for field garlic. And you know I am very big on safety first when foraging, as in always be 100% certain of your plant ID before tasting any wild plant. But here is a fact that will enable you to feel confident when identifying edible Alliums: everything that smells like onions or garlic is edible. Use your nose: the toxic "lookalikes" are scentless.
Field garlic is an ephemeral, meaning it dies back to the ground when temperatures start warming up for summer. Look for it in August and you'll be out of luck. But during the cooler months from fall through spring, this is one wild edible you can count on. In cold-winter areas like where I live in the Northeast, this dovetails perfectly with the timing of cultivated garlic, which is harvested in July. Just when the field garlic is going out of season, the cultivated crop is ready, and vice versa.
Field garlic grows in a variety of conditions from sunny lawns to partial shade. It thrives especially well under or near deciduous trees that don't leaf out until mid to late spring when Allium vineale is getting ready to go dormant for the year.
The Leaves
In winter, these are the easiest parts of field garlic to harvest and enjoy eating. They will peek at you above a layer of snow, looking a little bent and darkened by the weather but still smelling and tasting delightful in a savory way. Use the thinnest, most tender leaves like chives. Older, bigger leaves have an unpleasantly tough texture, but can still be used to flavor soups, sauces and stews using what I call "the bay leaf method": take a dozen or so large field garlic leaves and tie them into a knot. Toss the knot into your soup pot, but discard it as you would a bay leaf once it has given up its flavor to the food.
The Bulbs
When you dig up field garlic clumps intending to harvest the bulbs, leaf size matters: thicker leaves will have larger bulbs. But they'll still be pretty small.Even a big field garlic bulb is only about as large as a pinkie fingernail. Here's a method I've figured out for cleaning them without driving myself insane:
Slice off the green leaves and reserve those for another use. Use a paring knife to cut off the stringy roots at the base of the little bulbs (most of the dirt clinging to the bulbs is lodged in those tangled roots).
Fill a big bowl with water and add the field garlic bulbs. Swish them around to release the dirt clinging to them. Repeat with fresh changes of water until the dirt is gone. Some of the bulbs will have brown, papery sheaths clinging to them, but these will float off when you swish them in the water.
Use the cleaned bulbs whole or minced in any recipe that needs a hit of garlic. They are also fantastic pickled.
The Aerial Bulblets and Flowers
Field garlic doesn't always flower, but when it does the flowers look like diminutive pom-poms of tubular lavender florets.
Frequently there are few if any flowers and instead clumps of bulblets. Often these bulblets sprout while still on the stalk. What happens is that the clump of sprouting bulblets gets heavy and bends its stalk to the ground where it puts down roots and makes a new plant.
I use the flowers and bulblets to make an infused vinegar that is delicious in salad dressings and in marinades.

UPDATE (MARCH, 2015): Please note that we are not accepting any books for review nor for promotion until later in MARCH, 2015. Check back to see updates to our Review Policy and promotion services.
Children's Book Reviews
At this time, we are interested in reading and reviewing books appropriate for my two children. I have a son who is 7 years old and a daughter who is 11 years old. Please consider carefully whether my children fall within your intended target audience. I will do an initial screening of all books to determine if they are appropriate for at least one of my children. I will then share information about the books with my children who will have the final say about whether they wish to read and review them.
DO NOT SEND ME YOUNG ADULT BOOKS! These are not the same as middle grade books and I will no longer be accepting them.
My children will only be allowed to complete one review per week each maximum. I'm sure you can appreciate that they have busy lives and that I don't want them to think of our website as a burden. This is supposed to be fun for them! Also, please understand that sometimes they want to read things that their friends are reading and/or they don't want to review some books. Shortly after we started this website, we were receiving up to 25 requests per week! We will only be reviewing 2 per week max – you do the math! In some cases, I will be doing a review without either of my children. I make those decisions based on how busy my kids are.
Feeling Unsure About Your Book?
Approximately 1/4 of the books we receive for review are not actually ready to be publicly reviewed. I find myself giving the same feedback to these authors: "Have you sent this book to an objective beta reader for feedback?" This is a CRITICAL step in the process of publishing and marketing a book. If you have not received many reviews of your book outside of family and friends, and you are not sure if we will review your book favorably, we are now providing an alternative, Thelma and Louise Beta Reading Services.
In this case, both Thelma and Louise will read your book and provide you with critical feedback regarding the plot, the characters, the writing, and other ways to improve your book.
* Click here for more information about the Thelma and Louise Beta Reading Services. *
More Info
We will accept review requests from publishers and authors of children's books in exchange for an honest and respectful review. Please remember that this is a family/child-friendly site, so we wish to maintain a respectful dialogue about any books discussed on this site.
A few things publishers, publicists, and authors should know before contacting us:
- We do not guarantee a review of your book. By contacting us, we are agreeing to consider it for review by either ourselves or one of our regular contributors.
- We will not post negative reviews as we feel that not all books are liked by everybody. Just because we don't like a book, doesn't mean someone else won't. If we choose not to review your book, we will share with you the problems we had with it.
- For books of our own choosing, our reviews represent our opinions, so we WILL share negative and positive reviews of books we choose from the library or a book store.
- We have a lengthy backlog of books that we are still working through. We cannot guarantee a review within a specific time frame. There is a many-months (5 to 6) delay in reviews at this time.
- We will accept print and e-book copies of books, but we much, much prefer print copies as it is becoming evident that my children prefer to handle books and flip through the pages! It also makes reviewing WAY easier.
PLEASE NOTE: ** We are no longer accepting books written by child authors. I do not want to be put in the uncomfortable position of telling a child that their work is not up to snuff.**
All the books reviewed on this site are either purchased by myself, gifted to us, borrowed from the library (or a friend), or received from publishers or authors for review. When the book being reviewed is one that was sent to us by a publisher or author specifically for the purposes of review, we will clearly indicate this in the review. We, in no way, receive compensation for any BOOK REVIEW. All reviews (other than guest reviews) are written by myself and my daughter or son and are original. Guest reviews are edited by myself for grammar, spelling, appropriateness, and length and are original. Please do not copy and redistribute ANY review or excerpt without contacting me first.
I also disclose that this site contains affiliate links and/or may display promotional banners and /or advertisements. This means that if you go on to buy products through these affiliates, I might actually make a buck or two. We're talking pocket change here folks! I will clearly indicate all affiliate links.
Finally, as a test to see if you have shown me the courtesy of reading my review policy before you request a review, I ask that you send an email addressed to me by first name. The contact form can be found in our footer.
Thanks, Renee

At this time, we are accepting a very limited number of review requests outside of our Book Promotion program.

Panel Requires Additional Data About Brain Amyloid Imaging For Alzheimer's Disease Despite Expert Recommendations
- Alzheimer's Association Statement -
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Alzheimer's Association is disappointed that the Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee (MEDCAC) panel does not believe that there is adequate evidence whether or not PET imaging of brain beta amyloid changes health outcomes, and urges the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Service (CMS) to review the evidence and make a positive determination about coverage. The Association sincerely appreciates the opportunity to participate in this important review process.
The Alzheimer's Association strongly supports early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and believes that it leads to better outcomes and higher quality of life for people with Alzheimer's and their families. It does this by: enabling earlier access to appropriate treatments, allowing the family to build a care team and seek out education and support services, enabling enrollment in Alzheimer's/dementia clinical trials, and providing an opportunity for the development of advance directives and financial planning.
The Alzheimer's Association supports the consensus criteria developed by the taskforce convened by the Association and Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) that describes appropriate use of brain amyloid imaging. (Published online as an article in press on January 28, 2013, by Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association and Journal of Nuclear Medicine.) The Association recommends that CMS cover brain amyloid imaging according to those criteria.
According to those criteria, appropriate candidates for amyloid PET imaging include:- Those who complain of persistent or progressive unexplained memory problems or confusion and who demonstrate impairments using standard tests of cognition and memory.
- Individuals meeting tests for possible Alzheimer's, but who are unusual in their clinical presentation.
- Individuals with progressive dementia and atypically early age of onset (before age 65).

Editors' Review
+When we first saw the name FeyWriter, it conjured up a creative-writing app, but in fact it's a pretty nice little freeware optical disc burning utility from FeyTools. FeyWriter can burn data, audio, and video discs, read and copy discs, and write disc images. It supports rewriteable and multisession discs, on-the-fly recording, and dual-layer discs. FeyWriter requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or better. The latest release of FeyWriter supports Windows 8.
FeyWriter's simple, colorful Welcome Screen has six buttons: Data Disc, Audio Disc, Video Disc, Write Image, Coy Disc, and Read Disc, plus a toolbar with icons for Burn, Write, Copy, Erase, Format, and other commands. Other icons let us view and edit our DVD-RW drive's properties, and FeyWriter's detailed, tabbed Configuration sheet, too. We could enable FeyWriter's shell extension and also associate it with FeyWriter Project files as well as several disc and raw image file extensions. The menu bar adds several features to the toolbar's lineup, such as an Import Sessions option, and it includes a good Help file with a Quick Start guide that explains each of FeyWriter's features. Clicking any of the six main tools opened an Explorer View interface specific for each tool, with simpler dialogs for Copy, Read, and other commands. Our only issue wasn't with the program's layout so much as it was with force of habit. You must click the Welcome Screen icon (or File menu entry) to return to the program's start page. Instead of returning us to the Welcome Screen when we closed out of one of the burner tools, FeyWriter closed.
We started by creating a New Project in FeyWriter, though you can also return to existing projects, when you have some. The Explorer-style layout gives a lot of flexibility and control over files in a project. The Disk Layout section's progress bar is marked in megabytes to make it easy to squeeze in the maximum amount of data without going over (we hate when that happens!). Burning speed depends on your system, but we have no complaints about FeyWriter's performance, or its finished products. It's certainly worth a spin.
Publisher's Description
+FeyWriter: Keeps Your Data Safe the Easiest Way! FeyWriter is a multi-purpose recording software capable of high-quality CD & DVD burning features. It can be used by any type of users and offers a very enjoyable experience while saving your data. Whether you want to burn music, movies, games, documents, etc, this lite app is easy to master owing to a very user-friendly interface that guides you through all the tasks the program can perform. FeyWriter supports drag and drop features for dual-layer DVD and also disc images. Apart from that, it supports rewritable discs and also copies on the fly recording. FeyWriter is available to anyone (companies included) for free and presents users with the ability to burn all types of discs and burn and create ISO files. It offers support for: Windows 2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista/Win7.
What's new in this version:
Version 3.2 features interface improvements and crash fixes on Win7.

Prudential Center
Attendance: 14,039
Newark, NJ (Sports Network) - Brook Lopez scored 27 points while Travis Outlaw added 21 to spark New Jersey to a 115-99 victory over Denver at the Prudential Center.
Devin Harris scored nine points and handed out a career-high 18 assists while Kris Humphries provided 15 points and nine rebounds off the bench for the Nets, who halted a two-game slide.
"I'm proud of our guys," said New Jersey head coach Avery Johnson. "This team plays hard and is very coachable. We were playing against a veteran team that is really good offensively and we hung in there and got it done."
Carmelo Anthony poured in a game-high 37 points and pulled down nine boards in his lone trip to Newark less than two weeks after New Jersey owner Mikhail Prokhorov said his team had no further interest in trying to acquire the superstar forward in a trade.
"It was another game," Anthony said about all drama surrounding his appearance against the team that twice thought it was close to trading for him. "I wanted to come out and bounce back from the game last night in Philly. It didn't happen, I couldn't do it. We've lost two in a row and now we have to go home and bounce back again."
Chauncey Billups supplied 19 points and five assists and Nene chipped in with 16 points for the Nuggets, who lost the last two games of their just-concluded five-game road trip.
After trailing by double figures throughout most of the third quarter, two J.R. Smith foul shots trimmed the Nets lead to 82-78 with 53 ticks to go in the period before Anthony Morrow's right corner triple gave the Nets a seven- point edge. Smith then hit a three at the buzzer that was waved off after a review showed the stanza had ended before the shot left his hand.
Denver kept the deficit between four and seven points for most of the first half of the final quarter before the Nets embarked on a decisive 17-3 spurt to increase their lead to 115-96 on a Johan Petro jumper with a minute to go.
The hosts jumped out to a 19-7 lead halfway through the first stanza before Denver ripped off the next nine points. New Jersey grabbed a 31-21 lead after the first quarter behind 13 points from Outlaw.
New Jersey pushed its lead to as many as 18, 55-37, on a Lopez jumper with 3:19 to go in the half and took a 63-50 advantage at the intermission despite 23 points from Anthony.
The Nets connected on 25-of-40 shots from the floor in posting their highest scoring first half of the season.

Fair and Balanced Leadership: StarTek's Larry Jones
Association for Corporate Growth Special Section
I tried to get Larry Jones to talk about himself, to brag a little. After all, he has every right to pat himself on the back. In a brutal economy when most businesses are feeling bruised and battered, StarTek posted third-quarter profits of $3.5 million. What does speak loudly about Larry are the many people who follow him wherever he leads.
StarTek provides business process outsourcing services, primarily call center support for telecom, retail and technology companies. In speaking about what factors contribute to the StarTek's success, Larry gives credit to the employees and his senior management team, which he calls an "A-Team"- comprised of many individuals who had worked with Larry in other companies. And who wouldn't stay loyal to Larry?
He's a strategic leader, laser focused on the organization's goals, yet keenly aware that he's in the people business. Larry refers to the 9,000 employees of StarTek as souls rather than assets, and he talks about customers being at the heart of the business. Well, if the employees are the soul and the customers are the heart, then Larry is the brain.
StarTek's board brought Larry on more than three years ago to accelerate the company's growth. He has a history of success initiating growth and acquisition strategies in various industry segments, including marketing services, enterprise software, and information and IT services. Like other CEOs, he's had to make some tough strategic decisions at the helm of StarTek, including closing some operating facilities while also adding business units in other carefully considered locations.
StarTek has more than 20 call centers in the U.S., Canada, the Philippines, among other geographies; its newest call center is in Costa Rica. In deciding where to add operations, the basis is always on where the customer need is greatest and how they can best be served.
StarTek is a $275 million, publicly traded company based in Colorado. The company has deep roots in the state and has been headquartered here for more than 20 years. When asked why this state is a great place to do business, Larry once again talks about people. He's as concerned with the health of his people as he is about the health of the company; and the correlation of the two doesn't escape him.
As a long-time resident, he spoke with intimate familiarity about how the area is a place that keeps both mind and body active - with beautiful natural surroundings and stimulating cultural centers. Colorado heritage is a source of pride around StarTek, and celebrated even on the office walls.
Western art by local artists is on display, and you could easily forget that you were in a corporate headquarters because the feeling is more like a gallery. It's a place people enjoy showing up to work. The office decor may have been the responsibility of someone else, but you can tell it's the kind of attention to detail Larry appreciates and knows makes a big difference to the employees and customers who gather there.
Larry Jones seems a very laid back CEO, despite the fact that running a public company in today's environment is intensely high-pressured. Startek's quarterly profits indicate that he is delighting his board and shareholders; keeping 9,000 souls motivated and engaged; and delivering what not only his customers, but his customers' customers need.
And his A-Team is intact at a time when talent is a treasure. Larry would never congratulate himself. I suppose he doesn't need to; the facts and his achievements speak for him.
Dorothy Donnelly is president of Donnelly Consulting Group, and she is the marketing and communications chair for the 2010 Rocky Mountain Corporate Growth Conference.
