For Evan Link (H.M. @ 112) Signs with University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown and many other topics visit HSWrestling.net
Pat Pecora is a fan of ?The Godfather,? and when it became apparent that he wasn?t going to be able sign the biggest wrestling recruit in the area, he borrowed one of the film?s most famous lines.
The Pitt-Johnstown coach made Evan Link (H.M. @ 112) an offer the Penn Cambria wrestler couldn?t refuse.
And Link didn?t. Link had already decided to accept a scholarship offer from Kent State ? he even had a Kent State wrestling sticker on his car ? but changed his mind in order to join his brothers at UPJ.
?Coach runs a great program and he?s a businessman,? said Penn Cambria coach Todd Niebauer, who wrestled for Pecora at UPJ. ?He tries to get what he can for the least amount of money, and that?s the best way to do it.
?He made Evan an offer and Kent State, a Division I Top 20 program, comes back with a 70, 75 percent offer.
?It seemed like the best thing, because they had his field and everything. He had the letter-of-intent from Kent State in his possession and Pat texted me and said ?I?m going to make him an offer he can?t refuse.? And he did. To have a full ride, how can you turn it down??
Link couldn?t, especially with his brothers Nathan and Ryan already wrestling for Pecora.

Western swamp tortoise (Pseudemydura umbrina) recovery plan
Current Species Status: Threatened (WA Wildlife Conservation Act 1950), Critically Endangered (ranking by WA Threatened Species Scientific Committee), Critically Endangered (Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999), Critical (Action Plan for Australian Reptiles, 1993), Critically Endangered under IUCN (2001) Red List Criteria A2c and D, listed as Critically Endangered in the IUCN 2010 Red List of Threatened Species.
Habitat requirements and Limiting Factors: Pseudemydura umbrina inhabits shallow, ephemeral, winter-wet swamps on clay or sand-over-clay soils with nearby suitable aestivating refuges. Clearing and drainage have destroyed most original habitat within its very small former range. Existing protected habitat marginal.
Recovery Plan Objective: To decrease the chance of extinction of the Western Swamp Tortoise (WST) by creating at least three wild naturally recruiting populations, increasing the total number of mature individuals in the wild to more than 50 and conducting a translocation at a fourth site.
Recovery Criteria: Criteria for successful achievement of the Objective are:
- Complete extension of the Ellen Brook Nature Reserve to the west to include Western Swamp Tortoise habitat currently within private properties.
- An increase in the number of adult, sub-adult and juvenile (non-hatchling) tortoises at Ellen Brook Nature Reserve by 2012 and 2013 as indicated by Manly and Parr population estimates, to more than 110.
- Persistence of a population of more than 50 adult, sub-adult and juvenile tortoises at Twin Swamps Nature Reserve by 2012 and 2013 as indicated by Manly and Parr population estimates, and recruitment of non-hatchling juveniles demonstrated by 2014.
- Persistence of a population of more than 50 adult, sub-adult and juvenile tortoises at Mogumber Nature Reserve by
- 2012 and 2013 as indicated by Manly and Parr population estimates, and recruitment of non-hatchling juveniles from re-introduced tortoises demonstrated by 2014.
- The total number of adult wild Pseudemydura umbrina being >50 as indicated by KTBA numbers for 2011 and 2012.
- The maintenance of a captive population of an average of 12 breeding adults producing at least 20 two-year-old animals each year.
- The creation of a population from captive-bred animals at Moore River Nature Reserve of more than 50 adult, sub-adult and juvenile (>2 years old) tortoises by 2012 and 2013 as indicated by Manly and Parr population estimates.
- The selection by the recovery team and the endorsement by relevant authorities of a fifth suitable translocation site and the start of a trial translocation
The criteria for failure to achieve the objective are:
- A continuing decline in numbers of adult Western Swamp Tortoise in the wild.
- Cessation or significant reduction (to less than 20 hatchlings per year) in captive breeding.
- The maintenance of more than 50% of the non-hatchling world population of P. umbrina in a single captive colony.
Recovery Actions: The Western Swamp Tortoise Recovery Team will coordinate implementation of the following actions.
- Coordination and administration of recovery team and recovery program.
- Employment of Chief Investigator
- Management of Ellen Brook, Twin Swamps, Mogumber, and part of Moore River Nature Reserves
- Tortoise population monitoring
- Captive breeding
- Translocations
- Education, publicity and sponsorship.

Through he's portrayed as an instrument of God, Owen Meany causes the death of John's mother. What other deaths was Owen indirectly involved with? Do you find Owen's close relationship with death to support or undermine his miraculous purpose in A Prayer for Owen Meany?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Whether he was directly involved or not is a question likely without an answer, but Owen was there shortly before Tabitha died and felt that he had interrupted the angel of death on that task, so he at least felt he was involved with her death.
If you look at his relationship, the way that he continues to feel he sees or communicates with death, dreams of the way he will die, inscribes his own gravestone, etc., it may serve to support his underlying miraculous purpose. He also tries to make sure that other people do not die, including John by making sure that he does not have to go to Vietnam.

Rapid 3D construction with LaserOrigami March 7
Using a laser cutter to make 3D forms, fast
Pushing the boundaries of what is possible with laser cutting, researchers at the Hasso Plattner Institute have discovered how to make 3D objects using a standard 2D laser cutter.
The technique, dubbed LaserOrigami, takes advantage of carefully controlled changes in calibration that are usually the focus of maintaining a clean cut. Instead, a deliberately de-focused laser is used to heat the plastic enough for the material to bend. Gravity does the rest, as the sheet is alternately cut, heated, bent and turned to produce impressively complex forms.
One of the notable advantages of this technique is the speed at which the 3D form can be achieved. Click through for a comparison between 3D printing, traditional laser cutting and LaserOrigami as well as a video of the laser in action. (more…)

Matt Kuchar made the most of his short day at The Barclays. Kuchar didn't tee off until Friday afternoon at Liberty National and knew he had no chance to finish. He could barely see his ball cross the water and set up a two-putt birdie on the 13th hole that gave him the outright lead, and there was enough light coming from lower Manhattan across the Hudson River to hit his tee shot on the 14th. The horn sounded, and by then, he was ready to go home. Kuchar was at 10-under par with five holes remaining and had to return Saturday morning to hold his one-shot lead over Webb Simpson and Gary Woodland, who both finished the second round in the rain-delayed tournament. Simpson had to play 29 holes - 11 holes to finish his first round in the morning, followed by his second round - and he was ready to go more. He ran off six birdies over an eight-hole stretch and had a 5-under 66. ''It's much nicer when you're playing well to keep playing. And when you're playing well, you feel like yo...

As the market for center fielders dwindles, the Seattle Mariners loom as one possibility for Michael Bourn. At least on the surface. The Mariners, if they fail to land outfielder Josh Hamilton, are still going to need offense. And Bourn is the next best offensive player remaining on the open market, though certainly not a slugger like Hamilton. Here's the problem: Mariners general manager Jack Zdurienick erred when he signed infielder Chone Figgins, a speed player similar to Bourn, to a four-year, $36 million free-agent contract after the 2009 season. Zduriencik, entering the final year of his own deal, might not want to risk "Chone II." Bourn, who turns 30 on Dec. 27, is about a year younger than Figgins was at the time of his deal. Figgins batted .227 with a .585 OPS in his three years with the Mariners, and the team released him last month. Is it fair to take a negative view of Bourn because Figgins failed in Seattle? Of course not. But if you're Zduriencik, you probably would be hesitant to

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) August 04, 2014
The global market for sorbitol is expected to reach USD 3.99 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Sorbitol is a preferred substitute for sugar in food and beverages owing to lower caloric values and natural sweetening properties. Additionally, increasing health awareness among consumers worldwide is expected to fuel market demand over the forecast period.
Cosmetic and personal care was the largest end use application segment, accounting for over 600 kilo tons of sorbitol demand in 2013. Stabilizing, softening and surface active properties of sorbitol are the key reasons for growing use in the above applications. Sorbitol is also used as a preservative and low calorie sweetener in foods and accounted for over 537.9 kilo tons of sorbitol demand in 2013.
The report "Sorbitol Market By Product (Liquid, Crystal), By Application (Oral Care, Vitamin C, Diabetic & Dietetic Food & Beverages, Surfactants), By End User (Personal Care & Cosmetics, Food, Chemical, Pharmaceutical), Downstream Opportunities (Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Isosorbide) And Segment Forecasts To 2020," is available now to Grand View Research customers at http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/sorbitol-market.

Double Eagle's Mesh Construction, Leather Soles Give Breathability, Stability and Comfort
/ PRBuzz / July 27, 2011 - - Temperatures are soaring to sweltering levels across America this summer, and the heat wave is predicted to continue and reach highs not seen in 15 years.
Many golfers are still hitting the course as summer is the season for country club member-guest tournaments, club championships and local city competitions. Of course, you can't keep golf fanatics, living anywhere in the United States, from getting their recreational rounds in before weather and other commitments take up their time. In fact, the National Golf Foundationreports that nearly 40% of rounds in the US are played in the summer months, approximately 190 million.
When you play golf in such broiling conditions, it's smart and healthy to take all the normal precautions (hydration, breaks, sunscreen and light, cool apparel, as the Red Cross suggests). You also can beat the heat by wearing a shoe crafted to beat the heat and for superior comfort while walking from tee to green. You can combine that with a construction that keeps you stable during your swing in all weather conditions.
The new Allen Edmonds Double Eagle golf shoe might just be the solution. It has a sturdy, breathable wrap-around mesh upper and features the stability of a 360º Goodyear welted construction.
"In fact, we are seeing our sales of the Double Eagle picking up in the last two weeks of sweltering weather across the US," says Colin Hall, Chief Marketing Officer for Allen Edmonds. "We attribute that to the superior breathability of Double Eagle's mesh construction and leather sole when compared to typical rubber golf shoes.
"This breathability and the comfort of our cork lining becomes an advantage for a golfer who can walk about five miles over four hours while playing in this scorching heat," says Hall. "Additionally, the Double Eagle features a classic style, so you can look and stay 'cool' on the links."
The Double Eagle, available in Black Outland / Grey Mesh and Brown Outland / Brown Mesh is available at finer pro shops, all 34 Allen Edmonds retail stores across the United Statesand online at allenedmonds.comat a price of $345. The Double Eagle is one of the five new styles of the Allen Edmonds Honors Collectiongolf shoes introduced this season.
The shoes are handcrafted in the USA in 212 steps, using Goodyear 360-degree welted construction for greater stability while maintaining flexibility. They feature the finest premium leathers and heated cork between the insole and outsole for custom-like orthotic comfort as only Allen Edmonds can do.
About Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation
Founded in 1922, Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation is a privately held USbased manufacturer of premium men's footwear and accessories. The largest shoe cobbler in the world, Allen Edmonds is taking shoemaking to the level of an art form. Its line of footwear is handcrafted in Port Washington, WIusing a 212-step production process. The company's products are available at upscale stores worldwide, including 34 Allen Edmonds stores across the U.S., and online at www.allenedmonds.com.

Morning Report: Teen pulled to safety after crash
Police and Fire: A good Samaritan pulled an injured teenage driver to safety late Wednesday night after the car the boy was driving burst into flames following a crash in Simi Valley, police said.
The driver, a 17-year-old Simi Valley resident, was driving home from a friend's house about 11:24 p.m. when he lost control, struck a curb, then hit a tree on Long Canyon Road near Twisted Oak Drive, police said in a prepared statement.
After the collision, the car burst into flames. Although he was injured, the teenage driver was able to pull himself out of the car.
A local resident who went to the scene of the crash after hearing a collision found the teen lying next to the burning vehicle and pulled him to safety as flames consumed the car, police said.
Police identified the good Samaritan as John Farugia. The teen was not identified.
The teen was taken to Simi Valley Hospital, where he was admitted for treatment of a dislocated hip.
He told police he felt fatigued just before the crash and may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Investigators do not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident, said Lt. David Livingstone of the Simi Valley police.
Livingstone said car fires give off intense heat and anyone near them risks burns and injury from caustic chemicals and exploding tires.
Farugia "basically risked his life going up there," Livingstone said. "His actions I think definitely helped and saved the life of the juvenile."
Traffic: At 6:49 a.m., the California Highway Patrol was reporting a traffic collision on the northbound Ventu Park Road onramp to Highway 101 northbound in Thousand Oaks.
Weather: Partly cloudy and breezy conditions are expected throughout the county today, the National Weather Service reported.
High temperatures in the 70s and morning winds around 15 mph are expected in most of the county.
Gusts up to 30 mph are expected in local mountains.
Low clouds and fog are reducing visibility to less than one-quarter mile on some parts of the county coast this morning.

NATO hits Gadhafi hometown, Tripoli celebrates
Hearing the phrase, worshippers laughed or shouted "Allahu Akbar!"
Afterward, the worshippers marched out chanting in support of revolution. "Hold your head high, you are a free Libyan," some shouted.
There had been a plan to hold prayers at the Martyr Square, which was called Green Square under Gadhafi's regime, but it was littered with bullet casings and trash so worshippers decided to hold the service at a nearby mosque.
Mahmoud Shammam, a spokesman for the rebel council, told reporters in Tripoli that the rebel government had begun shifting from Benghazi to Tripoli, taking over official buildings and setting up a security committee.
He also said some people from Gadhafi's regime would be included in the new government.
"The only people we are going to exclude are the people who killed others and stole money," Shammam said in Tripoli.
The military alliance said NATO warplanes targeted 29 vehicles mounted with weapons near Sirte, a city of 150,000 about 250 miles (400 kilometers) east of the Libyan capital of Tripoli. Rebels are trying to advance toward Sirte but expect fierce resistance from tribesman and townspeople loyal to Gadhafi.
The rebel leadership, trying to avoid the bloodshed that occurred in the battle for Tripoli, has also been trying to secure Sirte's surrender, but the two main tribes have rejected negotiation efforts.
Gadhafi denied his people basic rights, cracked down harshly on any hint of dissent and squandered the country's vast oil and gas wealth.
But tribal loyalties are strong in the desert nation of 6 million. Gadhafi also seeded supporters in key posts and built up militias and armed "revolutionary committees" to be the final line of support for him and his powerful sons if regular military forces defected.
Gadhafi has tried to rally his followers from hiding, calling on them in an audio appeal as recently as Thursday to fight and kill the rebels.
The two main tribes in Sirte, the Gadhadhfa and the Urfali, remain loyal to the Libyan leader, although many others have disavowed him since the uprising began in mid-February, inspired by a wave of Arab revolutions.
Mohammed al-Rajali, a spokesman for rebel fighters in the east, said the rebels were trying to reach out to smaller tribes in Sirte but no progress had been made.
But the latest NATO airstrikes on loyalist vehicles defending Sirte appeared aimed at paving the way for the rebel advance if a negotiated settlement proves impossible.
In London, British Defense Secretary Liam Fox said some elements of the Gadhafi regime were in Sirte "where they are still continuing to wage war on the people of Libya." He said NATO would continue to strike at pro-Gadhafi forces.
"The regime needs to recognize that the game is up," Fox said.
Maj. Gen. Nick Pope, a British military spokesman, said royal Air Force jets also hit a large headquarters bunker in Sirte with a salvo of air-to-surface missiles.
NATO also bombed surface-to-air missile facilities near the Tunisian border, a statement said.
The Tripoli airport was under rebel control but faced regular shelling from pro-Gadhafi forces to the east. At least three planes were burned in heavy shelling overnight, although the airport otherwise appeared largely intact, with a dozen other passenger planes on the tarmac.
"NATO is bombing those guys but they are still shelling from the east of the airport," Nasser Amer, a civil aviation official told The Associated Press. Amer, a former pilot, traveled to Tripoli to try to get the airport running again.
Associated Press writers Ben Hubbard and Paul Schemm in Tripoli, Frank Jordans in Geneva, Slobodan Lekic in Brussels and Rami al-Shaheibi in Benghazi, Libya, contributed to this report.

What I don't like is:
Misspellings in game - many can't overcome that(Examples of this problem are: a youngster telling the player that he "catched a Rattata" instead of "caught a Rattata", and typing Johto as "Jhoto" or "Jotho".) This mistake happens to someone who types or writes faster, and it really bugs me.

Given a set of points S={p 1 ,. . ., p n } in Euclidean d -dimensional space, we address the problem of computing the d -dimensional annulus of smallest width containing the set. We give a complete characterization of the centers of annuli which are locally minimal in arbitrary dimension and we show that, for d=2 , a locally minimal annulus has two points on the inner circle and two points on the outer circle that interlace anglewise as seen from the center of the annulus. Using this characterization, we show that, given a circular order of the points, there is at most one locally minimal annulus consistent with that order and it can be computed in time O(n log n) using a simple algorithm. Furthermore, when points are in convex position, the problem can be solved in optimal Θ(n) time.

UK Entrepreneur Tier 1 Visa–Major Benefits & Requirements
The UK Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) Visa class applies to the primary candidate and every direct family member, and this comprises other half and kids below 18 years. At first, the permit is given for a period of three years and four months. It can afterwards be extended for an additional two years.
Candidates in the first stream are qualified to submit an application for the UK citizenship in the wake of having lived for 6 years in the nation, even as those who generate 10 employment opportunities, or get an yearly turnover of 5 million British Pounds per annum, are entitled to present an application, post 5 years of dwelling in the country.
Despite the fact that most persons dream of making a trip to the nation, here's your possibility to not just make a trip but to stay and do a job there. In case you happen to be a citizen of any non-European country, and possess 200,000 Pounds, then the Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa is just for you. Britain is interested in giving a red carpet welcome to entrepreneurs who want to establish and manage a firm/business enterprise in their nation.
Singapore Entrepass—Advantages & Eligibility Conditions
As a business center it will be rather hard to beat Singapore for those overseas entrepreneurs, who are keen to find a commercially feasible location in South East Asia, to house their business enterprise and relocate overseas.
Singapore Entrepass–also called the Entrepreneur Pass–is a sort of blessing for such entrepreneurs from abroad, who want to make their firm bigger or debut the same, via coming up with a Singapore registered firm.
The EntrePass Plan was introduced in 2004 to draw overseas entrepreneurs with ground-breaking business proposals. The same is a component of the nation's general plan to emerge as a regional business center, and draw the finest business & entrepreneurial talents to the nation.
A petition for EntrePass may be made prior to incorporating the Singapore firm, even while the aspirant does not have to invite costs for incorporation until the result of the EntrePass is learnt. Once approval is given, the candidate will usually get 30 days to integrate the proposed organization and add the required share capital.
Decoding Express Entry & NOC Canada 2015
Canada Express Entry 2015
This year will be brisk and at the same time optimistic for all those who are willing to make a move to Canada. Now, you may be wondering why, well, the reason for this trend is "Express Entry" system.
What is Express Entry System?
Express Entry also known as Expression of Interest (EoI) is a new system of immigration that the Citizenship and Immigration of Canada (CIC), the governing body that decides immigration, has launched this year. Under this system, skilled workers would be allowed to move to Canada with Permanent Residence (PR) Visa.
Now, what defines a skilled worker? In Canada, there is National Occupation List of 2015 and under the list a broad category of jobs are mentioned that would appear in the NOC of Canada in 2015. If any individual, who has applied for movement to the nation, finds their job mentioned in the list, they can move without any problem and use the Express Entry as a gateway to not just facilitate the movement but also get Permanent Residency.
Understand Canada Express Entry Process Step By Step
Canada Express Entry Process

Has all this while your application has been rejected because of first-come-first-serve basis that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) used to follow? If your answers to all this questions are in affirmative, there has been something to cheer about for you this January 2015.
This year has marked the beginning of a new era in the immigration history of the Maple Leaf Country. With the introduction of Express Entry system of immigration, this year will be brisk and full of optimism for all those who are looking forward to movement to the overseas hotspot.
So, if you are looking forward to Canada and you want Express Entry to streamline it, you must first understand the process. In this piece, you will get to know about Express Entry and the process that must be followed for getting through to the nation.

…greater social empowerment of women will be associated with smaller mortality differences between women and men, which may seem counterintuitive from a nonevolutionary perspective. In other words, they predict that higher levels of societal patriarchy will be associated with greater levels of excess male mortality.
By Marshall Stowell – Editor-in-Chief, Impact Magazine
In the previous issue of Impact, we examined the new era of philanthropy and giving to global health. In this issue, produced in partnership with Women Deliver and the Skoll Foundation, we focus on one of the most effective ways to lift families, communities and countries: investment in the health and rights of girls and women.
Today's plan for improving the health of girls and women looks different than a decade ago. We asked Impact readers to identify 10 game-changing moments for girls and women throughout the past decade. Here's what they said:

My review of the current "Humble Indie Bundle"
So I've finally jumped on a
humble bundle
. I paid more than the average, split 50% between developers and charity.
My thoughts on each game
Bit.Trip Runner
Wow am I'm in love with this game. Brutal, beautiful and addicting. Its a cross between a rhythm game and an 8 bit platformer. Jump, slide, kick and block your way through 3 different environments with each movement timed with a sound that creates the soundtrack. Graphically its colorful and distinct, each level could easily be ported to a 2d 8bit system. (there are bonus levels which are exactly this) The brutal is one mistake and its back to the front. And you must be precise at all times, even as some levels venture into 3 minute plus territory. For some this can lead to real frustration (although this never bothered me) Great game and still has not gotten old after 6 hours of play.
I ve spent 2 hours on this one and its another winner. Not as hard as bit.trip, not as addicting but certainly beautiful. Its a metal slug game crossed with an ultra violent version an action movie. (think
The Rundown
) Gameplay wise its a button masher with a ranged and melee attacks with a boss at the end of each level. There are a few special moves and a block and dodge mechanic but rarely do you have to use them. Story wise its a revenge story complete with well animated and voiced cut scenes. A really enjoyable game.
Super Meat Boy
The most well known and praised game of the bundle. I ve spent roughly a half hour on this one. Its brutal all right. Graphically its "meh". Controls are sharp. I just haven't gotten into it yet. Reviews are abound if you haven't heard of this one and want to know more about it. Edit. Just got to the second chapter, this game really is starting to grow on me. Fun.
A throwback bullet hell game with a wacky story. Coolest thing about this one is that you can have co op on one computer. (keyboard and controller controls are both excellent for this game) Gameplay is dodge and shoot at an insane amount of enemies while dodging an insane amount of projectiles. Battle through level to fight a boss, unlock next level. The wrinkle here is that you can only unlock the first three levels while playing on the "normal" difficulty level. I haven't unlocked the final three levels yet but I expect them to be insane. Fun game.
Played this for ten minutes. Move a ball through 2d levels. Borriingg. I'll give it another go again.
I haven't gotten a chance to play Cave Story+ or Gratuitous space battles. Will do so today.
My thoughts; Get this bundle. As long as you have a controller (I use my 360 controller for windows) you'll have a blast. Best thing about all of these games is that you can pick one up get right into it and you don't have to sink a lot of time into them.
Inter Q9950@stock. Scythe CPU cooler.4gigs Corsair ddr2 1066. Segate 1tb drive. Ati Theater Pro 650. Evga GTX460 768@845mhz. Win 7 64 Professional.

"A history changing event told well"
I appreciate and found compelling O'Reilly's account of all of the history surrounding the sad account of JFK's assassination. He was able to incorporate the historical details into a very human account of this event. For those of us who remember, and for those who don't, it should be required reading.
"Eye opening"
A very well-written fact-based book on Pres. Kennedy death. Bill O'Reilly narration was the cherry on top of this sundae. Well worth a listen.
Bill O'Reilly's performance was clear and easily followed and understood. The flow in his voice kept you attentive and engaged with the book.
When the book got to Jacqueline Kennedy's response to her husband being shot, murdered in front of her you felt like you were there with her and wanted to comfort her.
"A factual thriller"
The book charts a course through JFKs life, picking out many of the elements for which he was so famous and elements not so famous that hold relevance towards his untimely death. I felt that the various strands the book picked up - such as his relationship with singer Frank Sinatra to the falling out between various factions of government following the Bay of Pigs - weaves a story of a man with many enemies, explaining why that came to pass.
Yet, in telling the story of his death the book plays it straight. It's not for it to pick a winner among conspiracy theories (or none); rather, it outlines a picture of Kennedy's life from which you may draw conclusions, ranging from conspiracy to plain old law of diminishing numbers - with enough enemies, something was bound to happen in the end.
I came to the book knowing quite a bit about JFK, but I learned quite a bit more around the colour of the man. The audiobook is well narrated and paced, and even though one knows the tale quite well it brings you to an emotional climax.
"Great documentary; Made me feel like I witnessed"
Bill O'Reilly does a great job of narration. More than that, though, are the details that have been scoured to put a production like this together. Details from many angles--What was going on with Oswald concurrent with what was going on with Kennedy, as well as others. The extensive backgrounds of individuals involved helped to provide a better understanding of the various things which occurred and why they may have occurred.
I love audio books, and have over 60 to my name from Audible at this time. I am constantly listening to them. They all generally hold my interest and are my preferred medium of entertainment. That said, this one more than almost any other was one I just couldn't turn off.
"Authors Shouldn't Narrate"
I enjoyed this book except for the narration. Bill O'Reilly read this book like he was in a hurry to get through it........totally distracting!!
"A better listen than I expected"
Not all that high but O'reilly and Dugard do bring to light the full magnitude of Kennedy's flaws as well as his unquestioned brilliancy.
People have a vision of O'reilly based on his television show and here that does not serve them well whether they agree with his political views or not. He writes as an author with something to say and I lingered with the listen for that reason. The writing is not fascinating and his narration is okay, but with that said this book is worthwhile and I would urge those in whatever part of the political spectrum to approach it as a meaningful learning opportunity.
"Great listening"
I really enjoyed this book. I purchased Killing Lincoln and loved it so I figured I could not go wrong. I was not disappointed!
The time at the hospital with Jackie.
I thought he did a great job.
I made me cry mostly, because it took me right back there to that terrible day. Something impossible to forget.
I'm anxious to see how he did with Killing Jesus!
Retirement=More time to read.
"History That Reads Like a Mystery"
You Are There.
Although it was discussed in the news and in magazine articles many, many times during Kennedy's presidency (and a movie was made about the incident), there were parts of the PT 109 story that I don't recall ever having heard before. (Although I may have just forgotten--it was a good many years ago.)
Also, I found myself reacting with the tension of suspense as the president's car neared the Texas Book Depository, even though knowing what would (did) happen there and that it could not be changed. That is a mark of a well-told story.
And then there was something at the end of the book that I won't talk about, as it would be a Spoiler.
Bill O'Reilly is a professional speaker. Who else could better read his book? He does an excellent job and I enjoyed hearing him narrate the words he wrote (or co-wrote--I don't know just how his partnership with Martin Dugard works).
Not necessarily. While it was very interesting, very well-written, and gave a sense of immediacy to historical events, the fact that I'd lived through those times meant I did not have to keep listening to find out what happened next. So I listened to it in several sessions.
I think Mr. O'Reilly and Mr. Dugard have done a great service in showing that history is neither boring nor irrelevant. It is just usually so poorly presented that people lose interest.
"Well worth the listen"
Very well done. It hold your interest. Presents the J.F. Kennedy in a balanced light. It does not shy away from his faults, but presents his strengths and a leader, husband, and father. It also provide details in the lives of those surrounding JFK including Oswald.
Retired business owner conservative
