An armored vehicle crashed into a canopy at a downtown Greenville business this morning, right across from city hall.
The accident closed one lane of South Greene Street.
Witnesses say it appeared the driver had a medical emergency prior to the accident.
Police say the armored vehicle first struck a parked car with no one inside before crashing into the canopy at Pugh's Tire & Service Center. The parked car was still in front of the truck when it finally stopped.
Both people inside the armored vehicle were taken to Pitt County Memorial Hospital with unknown injuries.

After President Bush vetoed Congress' major expansion of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declared, "President Bush used his cruel veto pen to say, 'I forbid 10 million children from getting the health benefits they deserve.' "
As far as political self-parody goes, that's one for the books.
It's factually wrong, for one thing. The SCHIP bill was not some all-or-nothing proposition. A continuing resolution fully funds the program through mid-November, so none of the 6.6 million recipients will lose coverage. Even if Congress can't agree by then, there's another stopgap, because SCHIP might as well already be an entitlement.
In truth, the Bush administration endorses a modest expansion.
The 10 million children Pelosi cites are the sum of current enrollees plus those who could join under the Democratic plan. Up to 60 percent of these children already have private insurance, which SCHIP would displace as it moved up the income scale. Despite all that, after his veto, Bush repeatedly signaled a willingness to compromise and spend more than the $5 billion he would prefer - which alone is a 20-percent expansion. Despite their howls about "the children," Democrats and the media are happy to milk them for political gain.
The Democratic position is clear: Expand a government program and all will be cured.

Gregory Watson's college essay received a C — and changed America.
The next time someone goes on about how one citizen can't make a difference or how the political system cannot be changed, tell them about Watson and the 27th Amendment.
In 1982, a University of Texas political science professor assigned an essay about the governmental process. Watson, then a student, came across a long-forgotten constitutional amendment proposed in 1789 and chose that topic for his paper.
Rep. (and future president) James Madison had proposed that any pay increase Congress voted for itself would not take effect until after the next election. That way, current representatives could not vote themselves a self-serving immediate pay raise, and would have to risk that any vote for a raise could benefit successors who might be ideological or political rivals.
Watson, now a policy analyst for GOP Texas state Rep. Bill Callegari, thinks the founders were right to be concerned, giving a modern-era example.
"Congress in December 1981 had given itself a unique tax break applicable only to members of Congress and tried to hide it in a bill to address the needs of persons in the coal-mining industry who became afflicted with black lung disease," Watson said.
Though Congress passed Madison's amendment, it failed to get the required ratification from three-quarters of state legislatures to become law. Watson felt that recent events merited reconsideration of the amendment, yet his essay earned a C.
"Both the (teaching assistant) and the professor took the position that the issue was trivial, so trivial in fact that to them it was a non-issue," Watson recalled. "Both also took the position that what was then a 192-year-old proposed constitutional amendment was no longer pending before the state legislatures."
Watson's solution: Make it a live issue before state legislatures.
Over the next decade, Watson embarked on a mission to revive moribund state ratifications, raising awareness coast to coast and stoking anti-Congress public sentiment. He slowly resuscitated the proposal almost single-handedly.
The 27th Amendment, proposed in 1789, was ratified by the last state needed in 1992.
With modern political polarization, could a constitutional amendment ever occur again?
"Yes," Watson said, "because if a proposal is very, very, very common sense, state lawmakers in both parties in the state capitals will realize that the American people — and the voters in their particular state — would want them to support it.
Jesse Rifkin is a journalism and political science major at the University of Connecticut. He wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

How can I use a bash script as a Service in OS X without having to set it up trough automator? I'd basically like to write a bash script, save it in ~/Library/Services and then just have it show up in the services menu. Thoughts?
ThisService is a bit more streamlined than Automator:
The built-in script menu can also be used to run shell scripts:
It can be enabled from AppleScript Utility — Preferences — Show Script menu in menu bar. It includes files in ~/Library/Scripts/ and optionally /Library/Scripts/. You can't assign shortcuts though — that's the main reason to use FastScripts instead.
Some applictions for just assigning shortcuts: osx - Bind a key to a commandline command in Mac OS X? - Super User.
You should consider trying FastScripts. It's like OS X's scripts menu done right, including keyboard shortcuts for easy access.
I don't know of a way to do that directly. Aside from Automator, you can also use XCode to build an AppleScript wrapper for your script that will work as a Service.
Using the script directly is more problematic. My understanding is that it needs to be an app bundle, and then it needs specific entries in its
This leaves the rather big question of how to invoke it; the Objective-C message created from

Neighbors is a Seth Rogen comedy, which means he doesnt stop talking, his characters sexuality is in a gray zone, and he shows his chest one of the things on display in James Francos most recent artwork. Rogen plays Mac Radner, a young father who lives with his wife, Kelly (Rose Byrne), in a nice leafy suburb. The house next door is for sale, and Mac and Kelly get very excited about the potential for progressive exoticism when they see a gay couple with a baby inspecting the premises. But fate has a different kind of exoticism planned for them. Before they know it, a truck full of students pulls up in front of the house: It is now the Delta Psi Beta fraternity, and the Radners should expect to get little to no sleep for the foreseeable future.
They try to play it cool, going over to make friends with the enemy, as it were, by offering them some choice weed and attending their first party, but soon they realize they are not in college anymore, so they call the police and have the party shut down. And that is the shot heard round the neighborhood: The school children, and especially the leader of the pack, Teddy (Zac Efron), see this act as a declaration of war, and they are all too willing to fire back.
Teddy, whom Mac describes, in a moment straight out of a Franco-Rogen bromance, as looking like something a gay guy designed in a laboratory (he is not a bad-looking man), is the big honcho and wants to get into the fraternitys hall of fame by throwing some of the best parties in its long but not exactly illustrious history. For him, whatever lies ahead is beyond the fog of the present, and there are points in the film where we sort of do a double-take when we realize how stupid he really is. But apparently, its possible to graduate from the U.S. college system even if you dont have a basic grasp of general knowledge.
His compadre is the much more level-headed Pete (James Francos brother, Dave), perhaps the most interesting character in the fraternity because he is entirely immersed in the customs and the history of the band of brothers while also being acutely aware that this bubble is only temporary. The two also have some excellent banter between them, with many a quotable line you are likely to hear repeated again and again over the summer. The Radners, on the other hand, form a strange duo, and it is difficult for us to take their concerns about their child seriously when the baby apparently spends most of the film on its own, alone at home, while the parents go off to perform childish revenge tricks. They are clearly bored with their suburban life, but even as they try to be responsible, they cant help but yearn to relive their own college years.
The other point that needs to be addressed is the use of the word "sunny." Neighbors is sure to ruffle a few feathers when one of its characters (played by Ike Barinholtz), a doofus who frequently embarrasses himself while running his mouth, uses that particular pejorative term twice, including once as an imitation of President Obama. The actor pulls it off, barely, because the context sometimes makes it clear he shouldnt have used the word, but the broader question is whether the film could have done without it, and whether its use seems unnecessary and provocative, the answer is an unequivocal yes. If Rogen is in a film, we are bound to see penises in some form or another, and if that is what you are expecting, Neighbors wont disappoint you. For those viewers looking for breasts exploding with milk, they will find such things here, too.
One of the truly odd bits of plot, however, is that the rest of the neighborhood seems to wholly ignore the raucous late-night parties. In the first act, we see the boys flirting and cajoling their way into the hearts of their other neighbors, but surely these people also have to sleep? For the most part, we just get to see Efrons young abs as a pointed counter to Rogens slightly older but much saggier chest area. The frat boys and the young parents try to outdo each other with childish antics, and we are left vaguely entertained, but if we had to pick this out of a lineup of similar films aimed squarely at young adults, it would be a challenge. In most markets outside the United States, this film is titled Bad Neighbours.

The Royals announced the trade today of Kila Ka'aihue for Oakland A's righthander Ethan Hollingsworth.
The Royals become Ethan's third different franchise after being drafted from Western Michigan University in the 4th round where he put together a 18-12 record and 3.23 ERA in three MAC seasons. Â Hollingsworth coming out of college had a 89-92 mph fastball and what was described as a nice slider but since being drafted and getting more looks by scouts has what has been described as fringy breaking stuff but a good changeup and good control on his 89-91 mph sinker/fastball. Â At 6'2 200 lbs Hollingsworth's upside is at best a back of the rotation 5th starter with a more likelyceiling coming as a low leverage reliever type to add depth in AAA.
Ka'aihue became a darling of fans and statheads alike with his high walk rate and good power in 2008 and 2010 will now attempt to win a spot in a organization that has added Brandon Allen to go along with Daric Barton and Chris Carter. Â All four players appear to be fringe major league types with good on base skills.

The place is nice, the staff are friendly, and the neighbor hood is quiet. My only issue is parking. I would only suggest that each apartment is assigned two spaces that may be reserved for that apartments occupant. Parking can be a hassle at times. Other than that which is minor, the place is great.
Location is key and this place has it also they alow dogs and cats people and staff are friendly and work hard my request are always met in a timely manner

Even Simple Apostrophe Can Be Complicated
A thoughtful reader recently wondered in an e-mail correspondence how our writers distinguish the punctuation in such phrases as Cubs season and Cubs GM Jim Hendry or White Sox dugout and White Sox fans.
How, she wondered, do we determine when to use the apostrophe?
It may surprise you to know that we think about such things though, sadly, sometimes no amount of thinking can produce a clear resolution.
Heres what the AP Stylebook has to say about the distinction:
"Do not add an apostrophe to a word ending in s when it is used primarily in a descriptive sense: citizens band radio, a Cincinnati Reds infielder, a teachers college, a Teamsters request, a writers guide.
Memory Aid: The apostrophe usually is not used if for or by rather than of would be appropriate in the longer form: a radio band for citizens, a college for teachers, a guide for writers, a request by the Teamsters."
Seems simple enough, right? That is, until you consider certain specific phrases. A case could be made, for example, for either side in some of APs own citations. The Teamsters request, that is a request by the Teamsters, might just as easily and correctly be the Teamsters request, a request of the Teamsters.
Veterans Day is a particularly interesting case. Is it a day for veterans or a day belonging to veterans? Is it a day to honor veterans or to honor the veteran? Depending on how you look at it, you could correctly punctuate it as Veterans Day, Veterans Day or Veterans Day. The official title, and AP preferred, is without the apostrophe: Veterans Day.
OK, fine. Then what about Valentines Day? Is it a day of St. Valentine, hence Valentines Day? Or for valentines and thus Valentines Day?
Sports examples are especially problematic and commonplace. …

For months I have looked for an affordable Graco Ready2Grow stroller. There was alway a problem with every one I found - either I got outbid or couldn't find one in our price range or we didn't have the money when I did find something. Then in mid-October, my sister told me that she was getting rid of hers and would sell it to me for $80. It's been very lightly used and was in great condition. We jumped on the offer.
When we got together at our mom's today, DH and I paid for the stroller and my sister and brother-in-law put it in our truck. Then DH said he had to run into town, about 20 minutes away. I asked if he wanted to leave the stroller behind so nothing would happen to it, and he said he was sure it would be fine. When they came back, the stroller was gone. :'(
He and my brother said they'd checked it in the store parking lot to make sure it was safely tucked down in the bed of the truck, so it wasn't stolen while they were inside. They didn't stop anywhere so it couln't have been taken out of the truck at any point. It had to have blown out, as unlikely as it was. DH and I retraced their route to see if we could find it. Needless to say, we didn't find it or any pieces of it. We were both pretty upset about it. DH blamed himself for not taking it out before he left.

Born almost two decades ago in 1993 in Fagersta, Sweden, The Hives have long been a rock 'n' roll force to be reckoned with. Their debut, 1997's "Barely Legal," shot through the punk community like a runaway locomotive. With 2000's more studio-wise "Veni Vidi Vicious" and the UK smash "Your New Favourite Band" (a compilation of songs from "Barely Legal", "VVV" and the "a.k.a I-D-I-O-T" EP), however, The Hives helped write the book on the decade's garage-rock success.

They were the greatest trio of swashbuckling adventurers ever to ship out to the stars! There was giant Hal Samdu, rocklike Jay Kalam, and the incomparable, shrewd, and knavish Giles Habibula. Here is there first thrilling adventure - the peril-packed attempt to rescue the most important person in the galaxy, keeper of the vital secret essential to humanity's survival in the deadly struggle against the incredibly evil Medusae.
The Legion of Space is classic sci-fi from the 30's and 40's: the enemies are alien and implacable, the companions steadfast and brave, the heroine be..Show More »autiful and imperiled, and the young hero fearless and daring. It's continuous, driving style of suspense has been successfully copied from the movie serials of the era. Listening to it takes you back to the days of Astounding, Galaxy, and Boys Life.What makes the book perhaps the best of its kind, however, is the slow emergence of the Falstaffian character Giles Habibula. He's a bit overdone in this first book of the series, but still the endearing anti-hero we've loved for so long.The prologue is a throw-away: the finger-cracking exercise of a writer getting up to speed. Plow through it and the story will grab you in chapter one, rush you along through alien worlds, and deposit you gasping but satisfied at the end.Sam Mowry's narration is smooth and unobtrusive, except for his pronunciation of Giles as "guiles" in the beginning. He corrects this after the first coffee break, and thereafter the characters are distinct and accurate - even the heroine's fragile but courageous timbre is totally believable.There are three more novels in the series. I look forward to hearing them all.« Show Less
In the second book in the Legion of Space series, Jay Kalam, Hal Samdu, and Giles Habibula fight The Cometeers, an alien race of energy beings controlling a "comet" which is really a giant force field containing a swarm of planets populated by their slaves. The slave races are of flesh and blood, but none are remotely similar to humans. The Cometeers cannot be destroyed by AKKA, as they are incorporeal from the Universe's point of view and exist for the most part in an alternate reality.
A sinister message - and a loathsome serpent-like trademark - were the only clues the Legion of Space had to the identity of Mankind's most evasive and horrible enemy. But meanwhile, He or It - had meticulously begun to destroy the world... The Legion of Space was well accustomed to facing mortal peril in the black depths of outer space in order to defend humanity against its unearthly foes.
Decades after the murderous assaults on the civilized worlds by the Medusae and the Cometeers - worlds protected by the Legion of Space - the Hawkshead Nebula is a new setting of danger and intrigue. Jil Gyrel is a lonely girl on a dismal planet at the edge of that Nebula. Her life is changed forever when her father's long missing spaceship reappears. The only survivor is her father's best friend Shon Macharn.

A sex slave who's never been touched... National bestselling author Lisa Cach spins an erotic, passionate novel about a young Roman Empire slave who's intended to become her king's concubine--until a rugged barbarian prince takes her heart...and more.Lovely Nimia is a slave to King Sygarius, who's grooming her to be his consort as soon as she reaches full womanhood. And that time is very close. Nimia is forced to attend shocking lessons in the erotic arts; lessons that leave her body aroused and her mind conflicted. Because while she's attracted to Sygarius's power and eroticism, her spirit rebels at being his slave. Then one of Sygarius's allies comes to visit. Smart and ambitious, Clovis burns to take over Sygarius's kingdom--and the beautiful Nimia. And though her virginity is meant for Sygarius, Clovis takes it with her enthusiastic consent. When Sygarius learns that she is no longer a virgin, Nimia flees for her life. But can she find Clovis before the wrath of Sygarius--and imminent death--finds her first?
1,001 Erotic Nights, Part 2: Barbarian's Concubineby Lisa Cach
National bestselling author Lisa Cach's erotic, passionate story continues in Part Two of the series about Nimia--the Roman Empire slave girl whose prophetic gift is unloosed by sexual encounters.Reunited with Clovis, now king of his barbarian tribe, Nimia and he "celebrate" sexually. Frequently. But sometimes he takes it too far, subjecting her to erotic activities that make her wonder if she'd be better off with her former master, Sygarius. She's in love with Clovis, though, and he says he loves her, too... But there's a coldness in his eyes that makes her wonder if he really does--or if he's just using her prophetic gift for his own gain.King Sygarius, meanwhile, wants Nimia back. When he captures her and sexually enslaves her again, she discovers a crystal chalice inscribed with a design that echoes those tattooed on her body. And when Clovis rescues her from Sygarius, she steals the chalice to take with her.A Christian priest suspects it's the Holy Grail, but Nimia has a strong feeling it's a remnant of her lost tribe, the Phanne. But even the chalice cannot tell her if the child she carries belongs to Clovis... or to his greatest enemy: Sygarius.
1,001 Erotic Nights, Part 3: Siren of Gaulby Lisa Cach
National bestselling author Lisa Cach continues the erotic, passionate story of a young Roman Empire slave with a prophetic gift, whose sexual adventures lead her to love, heartache, power, and loss...ever hoping for true love.Beautiful Nimia is sent by the King of Gaul to the court of King Alaric II, to seduce him into handing over Sygarius--her first master, who had cruelly betrayed her, and to whom Alaric has given sanctuary. She is also there as a spy to gain information to help conquer Alaric's kingdom. Intelligent, devoutly religious, and sexually inhibited, Alaric presents Nimia with a fresh challenge. She must use the most subtle of her erotic skills to seduce him, only to find herself being seduced as well...and possibly falling in love? When Sygarius is handed over to her, Nimia finds herself torn between vengeance and forgiveness--and reluctant to leave Alaric, who just might be the love of her life....

1:59by Philip Maffetone
What will it take to run a marathon in less than two hours?The world's fastest times for the marathon have been dropping since the distance of 26.2 miles was made official nearly one hundred years ago. But after a noticeable decline that occurred for a half century, the times, while still edging lower, have stalled several minutes north of two hours for the past decade.For the first time, 1:59 examines what it will take for an elite distance runner to go sub-two hours. It will require more than raw talent, optimal body size, and great athletic genes. In order to become marathon's Roger Bannister and smash this elusive record, this runner must follow a healthy diet and an individualized training regimen that takes advantage of specific environmental factors ("live high, train low"). Because precious seconds count over each mile run, other critical considerations include improved running form and economy, sharpened mental focus, and wearing the right type of racing flats (or even going barefoot).The athlete who finally breaks distance running's most tantalizing barrier will become a worldwide celebrity overnight. Will the runner be a Kenyan, an Ethiopian, an American, or a marathoner from another country? And how soon will it happen?By providing a unique window into the highly competitive world of elite marathon running, this book also allows running enthusiasts to have a thorough understanding of the true potential of endurance athletes. And in turn, they can apply the same training and racing principles discussed in 1:59 to their own running, whether it's a 10K, half marathon, marathon, or ultramarathon.
1 Dead in Atticby Chris Rose
Dead in Attic is a collection of stories by Times-Picayune columnist Chris Rose, recounting the first harrowing year and a half of life in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Celebrated as a local treasure and heaped with national praise, Rose provides a rollercoaster ride of observation, commentary, emotion, tragedy, and even humor -- in a way that only he could find in a devastated wasteland. They are stories of the dead and the living, stories of survivors and believers, stories of hope and despair. And stories about refrigerators. Dead in Attic freeze-frames New Orleans, caught between an old era and a new, during its most desperate time, as it struggles out of the floodwaters and wills itself back to life.

10,000 Days of Thunder: A History of the Vietnam Warby Philip Caputo
It was the war that lasted ten thousand days. The war that inspired scores of songs. The war that sparked dozens of riots. And in this stirring chronicle, Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist Philip Caputo writes about our country's most controversial war -- the Vietnam War -- for young readers. From the first stirrings of unrest in Vietnam under French colonial rule, to American intervention, to the battle at Hamburger Hill, to the Tet Offensive, to the fall of Saigon, 10,000 Days of Thunder explores the war that changed the lives of a generation of Americans and that still reverberates with us today. Included within 10,000 Days of Thunder are personal anecdotes from soldiers and civilians, as well as profiles and accounts of the actions of many historical luminaries, both American and Vietnamese, involved in the Vietnam War, such as Richard M. Nixon, General William C. Westmoreland, Ho Chi Minh, Joe Galloway, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lyndon B. Johnson, and General Vo Nguyen Giap. Caputo also explores the rise of Communism in Vietnam, the roles that women played on the battlefield, the antiwar movement at home, the participation of Vietnamese villagers in the war, as well as the far-reaching impact of the war's aftermath. Caputo's dynamic narrative is highlighted by stunning photographs and key campaign and battlefield maps, making 10,000 Days of Thunder THE consummate book on the Vietnam War for kids.
The 10,000 Year Explosionby Gregory Cochran Henry Harpending

10 Buildings That Changed Americaby Dan Protess Geoffrey Baer
10 Buildings that Changed America tells the stories of ten influential works of architecture, the people who imagined them, and the way these landmarks ushered in innovative cultural shifts throughout our society. The book takes readers on a journey across the country and inside these groundbreaking works of art and engineering. The buildings featured are remarkable not only for aesthetic and structural reasons, but also because their creators instilled in them a sense of purpose and personality that became reflected in an overarching sense the American identity.Edited by the staff of WTTW, the Chicago PBS affiliate that is the most-watched public television station in the country, 10 Buildings will be released alongside the national broadcast of an hour-long special by the same name. This television event will be promoted over digital media, on-ground events, and educational initiatives in schools, and the book will be a significant component to all of these elements.10 Buildings retells the shocking, funny, and even sad stories of how these buildings came to be. It offers a peek inside the imaginations of ten daring architects who set out to change the way we live, work, and play. From American architectural stalwarts like Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright, to modern revolutionaries like Frank Gehry and Robert Venturi, this book examines the most prominent buildings designed by the most noteworthy architects of our time.Also profiled are Americans less noted for their architectural acumen, but no less significant for their contributions to the field. Thomas Jefferson, a self-taught architect, is profiled for designing the iconic Virginia State Capitol. Taking its inspiration from ancient Rome, America's first major public building forged a philosophical link between America and the world's earliest democracies. Similarly, Henry Ford employed Albert Kahn to design a state-of-the-art, innovative factory for Ford's groundbreaking assembly line. Reinforced concrete supported massive, open rooms without any interior dividing walls, which yields the uninterrupted space that was essential for Ford's sprawling continuous production setups. What's more, Kahn considered the needs of workers by including astonishingly modern large windows and louvers for fresh air.The design of each of these ten buildings was completely monumental and prodigious in its time because of the architect's stylistic or functional innovations. Each was also highly influential, inspiring a generation or more of architects, who in turn made a lasting impact on the American landscape. We see the legacy of architects like Mies van der Rohe or H.H. Richardson all around us: in the homes where we live, the offices where we work, our public buildings, and our houses of worship. All have been shaped in one way or another by a handful of imaginative, audacious, and sometimes even arrogant individuals throughout history whose bold ideas have been copied far and wide. 10 Buildings is the ideal collection to detail the flashes of inspiration from these architects who dared to strike out on their own and design radical new types of buildings that permanently altered our environmental and cultural landscape.
The 10 Cent Chocolate Tubby Mike Mcgann
10 Cent Chocolate Tub will take you back to the 1950's and 1960s when life was uncomplicated. There were three channels to watch on a black and white television set showing Sid Caesar, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Howdy Doody, Milton Berle, fifteen minutes of Nat King Cole, The Lone Ranger and The Toast of The Town. Radio stations were AM only and played Elvis Presley, Doo-Wop music, Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Patti Page, Chubby Checker and The Four Seasons, long before The Beatles came to America. The small things in life were exciting to a city boy who grew up to be a broadcaster, a Vietnam veteran, a minor performer and a dad! Everyone has family stories, crazy relatives, funny incidents, memories of how good things were back then and dreams of how they should be. The 10 Cent Chocolate Tub gets it's name from a huge chocolate ice cream cone sold by Bard's Dairy in the 1950s in Pittsburgh at a time when a young boy, who wore rummage sale clothes and ate surplus cheese, was only allowed a nickel vanilla ice cream now and then. This is about the quest for life's finer things like ice cream anytime you want it, playing the radio loudly, crying at a sad movie, falling in love, heartbreaks, kissing your children goodnight and loving every minute of it.

10 Years That Shook the World: A Timeline of Events from 2001by Loretta Napoleoni
September 11, 2001, is considered the main event, but the changes of the decade go far beyond the menace of terrorism and the war on terror. The technological revolution, the wide use of the Internet, and the advent of social media are just some of the innovations that grew to define the decade. The war on terror and its strong rhetoric hid these phenomena. The purpose of this book is to show the true patterns of change--those innovations that will influence coming decades. This is more than a timeline, it is the tale of an extraordinary decade. Within each year, Napoleoni presents events not in a strict chronology but more as we might remember them, often with the most significant events recalled first. Thus the main topics--politics, economics, people, technology, and the environment--cross over constantly, showing how they are all interlinked and how globalization is speeding up the pace of change in our world.

100 Cats Who Changed Civilizationby Sam Stall
100 Cats Who Made a Difference If you don't believe that one cat has the power to alter civilization, then you've obviously never heard of Tibbles (p. 12), the cat who single-handedly wiped out an entire species. Or Ahmedabad (p. 61), a Siamese kitten who sparked riots throughout Pakistan. Or Snowball (p. 14), the cat who helped to convict dozens of murderers and criminals. Or Felix (p. 155), the first cat to explore outer space. These are just four of the 100 Cats Who Changed Civilization, and this book honors their extra-ordinary contributions to science, history, art, government, religion, and more.

100 Cigarettes and a Bottle of Vodkaby Arthur Schaller
Winner of the Canadian Jewish Book Award 2000100 cigarettes and a bottle of vodka - the reward in German-occupied Poland for turning in a Jew.Arthur Schaller was eleven when Germany invaded Poland in 1939. Along with the rest of the Jewish population of Warsaw, he and his family were confined in the Ghetto. His father had escaped to Soviet-occupied territory, so Arthur, his mother, and his brother struggled to survive in increasingly desperate conditions. When Arthur's mother was rounded up by the Nazis, a family friend orchestrated Arthur's daring escape to the other side of the Ghetto wall, where, until the end of the war, he posed as a Catholic orphan, working as a cowherd, moving from farm to farm to avoid detection. Drawing on his love for his family, his passion for music - his mother's legacy - and his simple yet powerful faith, Arthur Schaller found the strength to endure.From the Trade Paperback edition.

The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Centuryby Peter Dreier
A hundred years ago, any soapbox orator who called for womenOCOs suffrage, laws protecting the environment, an end to lynching, or a federal minimum wage was considered a utopian dreamer or a dangerous socialist. Now we take these ideas for granted? because the radical ideas of one generation are often the common sense of the next. We all stand on the shoulders of earlier generations of radicals and reformers who challenged the status quo of their day. Unfortunately, most Americans know little of this progressive history. It isnOCOt taught in most high schools. You canOCOt find it on the major television networks. In popular media, the most persistent interpreter of AmericaOCOs radical past is Glenn Beck, who teaches viewers a wildly inaccurate history of unions, civil rights, and the American Left. "The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century," a colorful and witty history of the most influential progressive leaders of the twentieth century and beyond, is the perfect antidote.
