So like others, I had a great idea, built the site and it functions very well. There is no other site out there that does this, and it's truly a very useful site.
Now here is the problem, I have a great job at a great company, and dont have the time or marketing knowledge to really get this site off the ground. I would love to get an investor, who would take over and I would take a smaller % of ownership. But I can't even go to an investor, since I dont know how to really do a business plan, etc.
Any help would really be appreciated.

"Fine for an Overnight Stay"
The motel is just off the interstate and easy to get to, and the front desk staff were friendly. There was a stack of old mattresses and a bunch of dead plants in the back, and the room could use some updating as the furniture, fixtures and carpet were all pretty old. The room seemed as clean as it could be -- the crusty places on the furniture and […] carpet looked like they'd been there for years. The linens were fresh and the mattress was surprisingly comfortable. This hotel is nothing special but it was perfectly fine for one night while traveling.

"Gem in the rough !"
I had a pleasant stay, the lady at the check-in was super nice ! Room was freshly painted, bedspread was clean and new. It was my half way point on the way home, otherwise I would stay there more often !Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Days Inn Calvert City atsiliepimas Thank you for the kind review of our Calvert City, Ky Days Inn. We strive to create a pleasant, friendly atmosphere and clean and comfortable rooms for our guests. We are continuing to update our rooms to satisfy our customers. We hope to see you again soon!
"Decent Motel"
Dated decor and lack of an HDTV are about the biggest complaints. Nicely located off the Interstate, with a good restaurant just across the parking lot. Friendly staff. The room was clean and comfortable and included a fridge and microwave. Hey, it's a Days Inn, not the Ritz Carleton...but for an overnight stay it offered nice amenities at a decent […] rate. It was good enough that I booked a night on my return trip. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"served a purpose"
For the price, it was effective. There was a refrigerator, free wi-fi and a nice sized television. The room was clean and the bed comfortable enough. Nothing negative to report. We didn't take advantage of the free breakfast so I cannot comment on that.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Close to gas station, food and highway"
Excellent service, room was nice and clean. I stayed for 2 days and room was cleaned in between days with all our things in the room. I was a little concerned to begin with, but everything was fine. Fridge, microwave and coffee maker in the room, as well as a blow dryer. My only gripe is that the tv remote didn't work very well so it was a pain to try […] to change channels or turn it up or down, off or on, etc. Other than that, it was a very pleasant stay. I've stayed here 4 times and would go back again. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

While the hotel was preferable to driving at night in a thunderstorm it still left a lot to be desired. The matresses were so bad i thought I was sleeping on a box spring, and though our room was booked as a "non-smoking" one the carpet, etc. was so old it smelled bad anyway.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Not the best stay"
For being a days inn, the hotel needs to a major renovation, upgrade the rooms, new mattresses and box springs. The beds were hard and squeaky, asked for queen room, ended up in double beds, the front desk clerk had to search for a rollaway bed when I had requested it before we arrived thru my reservation. My family and I will never stay at this hotel […] again. They don't take their time to double check the rooms like the tv remotes, etc. the only plus about the hotel was the distance from where we were headed. I don't recommend this hotel to anyone.

"Stay Across The Street"
Does not deserve use of the Days Inn brand. Grounds were most unattractive with dead grass instead of lawn. Much in need of cleaning and repair.....rust and peeling exterior paint were very visible along with dead landscaping. This hotel would be an ideal candidate for the "Hotel Impossible" TV show.Tikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai
just about the worst dump I've ever stayed in. Some highway workers were staying there and they would hang their filthy clothes on the railing outside their rooms...and ours. The carpeting on the stairs was frayed with holes. This should have been easy to fix if management had been on top of things. I would definitely not stay in this dump again and […] prefer not to think about our time there. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Positively surprised. I have nothing to complain about. The room is clean as are the beds, sheets and towels. Room service is seriously taken into account.

It was the worst place I have ever stayed. The linens and bedding were very old. The room smelled like mold. My nose was stuffed up and my eyes were swollen. The breakfast was all carbs and not nutritious. I would never stay there again.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

"Simple Comfort"
Had a nice stay as I was visiting family in the area. Coffee maker in room, but coffee only replaced every two days. Could have used coffee every day. One strange thing, there were two flyers in the room asking that I help conserve energy by hanging up my towels to reuse them or put them on the floor to be replaced. I hung mine up every day, but towels […] were replaced every day anyway. Special mention to Patty who was most polite and helpful all three times I needed her assistance.

"days inn in calvert city will not stay there again"
stayed for 3 days. they did not clean our room the whole time we were there. had to ask for more coffee and tissue and instead of them taking them to the room they left it on the table while we were eating. had to ask them to change the trash in our room. then the girl had the nerve to ask if that was all the cleaning they we needed. the room was aright […] but it need to be cleaned. the tv was old and outdated but it still worked. i did't expect much for the price but still i expected basic service that i did not receive. the staff was not at all friendly or helpful. will not be staying there againg or any of their chain hotels.

"clean and reasonable"
We were looking for a place to sleep for the family, this was reasonable and close to the interstate. Staff was very pleasant, room was clean. The included breakfast was average continental with waffle maker. The only issue was the mini fridge freezer had so much frost built up that the door would not close. Easy fix, just turned it off and left the […] door open overnight with towels placed around. Glad I didn't need it. We liked this hotel, will definately stay here again.

"Days Inn Calvery City clean and affordable"
The room was clean and the location was convenient, price was OK for value. However, the TV in my room had a line at the top (old TV), and the breakfast was kind of skimpy -no bananas and no peanut butter. Waffles were good though.

The hotel office staff were very receptive to my needs and went out of their way to give me a ground floor room. However, the room furniture was not dusted to include the top of the headboard. I was left messages to reuse my towels. I don't even reuse towels and wash cloths in my home. Used towels were not changed for clean ones. I purchased paper towels […] to insure I would have a clean towel. I have never stayed in a hotel/motel where the towels were not changed. I have a medical condition that requires me to use clean towels and wash cloths.

Everything about this is perfect;however if I had carpet I don't think I feel that way. The wheels that this came with are cheesy and cheap 1980s wheels. It slides beautifully across my hardwoods and the grey is great. They wrote "brownish grey" all over the package but this is Grey with no brown undertones.
This ottoman came in perfect condition. The description on the Overstock.com website was accurate. Please note that you CANNOT MOVE this ottoman with the weight of a person on it or the wheels will BREAK (SHATTER).
it looks nice. the material is just OK though. the wheels broke after 3 weeks....so if you don't install the wheels, it may be better
I love them!! I bought two. They are a great VALUE!! These square low ottomans were exactly what we were looking for for the end of the bed maximizing storage needs! The color is truly a grey non-nap flannel look, like grey suiting and the fabric is a good enough quality to match most decors. The storage can fit two pillows or king quilt and sheet set easily. The are 31" square, so you need a little more room at the end of your bed than a type rectangular ottoman. They would be nice in a family room given the storage but be aware that inside, the top is not recessed so storage is only about 8" deep. They are a little lower than the typical seat, but with good knees, no problem to sit and change your shoes. The casters that come with them are a little cheap so on hard wood, this might be a problem. I have them on a thick rug so it works nicely. You could add your own legs if needed.
Overall, this is a great buy if your household does not abuse or overuse furniture. I bought it for the family room for my small dogs to lounge on so I can have the couch for myself!! They like it and use it but It is kind of hard on the top (not much cushioning) so I had to put a couple of blankets on top to made it softer. I do love the color and style and also the storage capabilities for extra blankets.
So far I didn't have any problem. The ottoman seems to be sturdy and elegant. It has a nice heavy durable fabric. I can't complaint about the purchase or shipping service.
Using this for children's play area as toy storage and seating for when little cousins and play dates come over. My kids love that they can just open the ottoman for their toys instead of looking all over the house. Since this ottoman is placed by the tv, they also use this as their viewing area. Love the fabric blends well with my dark furniture and floors. A must buy, you will not be disappointed!
The ottoman looks just like the picture. It does sit low to the ground. We are using it in our master bedroom closet so that is not an issue. We also use it to store blankets. It's average quality. Nothing special. But it's good enough for our purposes. If I were buying it as an ottoman in our living room I would want something nicer.

Nueva York ¿Santuario para Inmigrantes?
By Telemundo47.com Staff / Telemundo 47
Una ley federal obligaría a la policía a compartir información con las autoridades migratorias.
Watch video here.
More on: Expanding Civil Rights
Since the November NYC elections, MRNY members have been hard at work setting the agenda for our next mayor, City Council and citywide elected officials.
We kicked off "Talking Transition" with a low-wage worker forum and our attorneys have been staffing a Single Stop clinic around the clock at the Transition tent.
Recently, our youth joined the Transitions conversation to bring education and police reform issues into the spotlight for the new elected officials. 17-year-old youth leader Cheyanne Smith was also profiled in the New York Times for her leadership to make NYC schools more respectful, safe, and dignified places for learning.
Read more about this work and check out Cheyanne's profile in the Times, "The Mayor of Teenagers."

Changed trans & transfer case fluid, changed the oil, installed new rear glass shocks, upgraded interior lights to LEDs, upgraded headlight wiring harness, new 100/80w H4 halogen bulbs. Oh yeah installed my new Spidertrax spacers too. Was checking out what's involved in changing the RMS and found half the oil pan bolts less than finger tight. Tightened 'em up and decreased everything, that ought to slow the drips sown a little! Last weekend I changed the fluid in both diffs and gave her a tune up. Purrs like a kitten now So far I've installed XRC bumpers front & back, pocket flares, touched up the paint (still need to plasti dip the bezels, door handles, and mirrors)' relocated the mirrors, added tactical bags, seat covers, and Qtec floor liners to the inside. Replaced all 4 rotors with Black Magic parts, and added a Dynomax cat back exhaust. I've had this rig less than two months and I will keep it for as long as I'm able to drive, or she still rolls, whichever comes last!! |

4-E Sun., Oct. 8. 1978 THE SHREVEPORT TIMES Health/Medicine (Times photo by Billy Upsnaw) Marie Gallagher, Dr. Burton West, and Dr. Pattie Van Hook discuss flu Flu season around the corner By JANIE FLOURNOY Times Lifestyle Writer The flu can be a killer. A respiratory infection, influenza attacks the young, old. healthy or ill. With it comes aches in the muscles and joints, fever, coughing, head-aches, and loss of appetite. "You feel as if your hair hurts," said Dr. Pattie Van Hook, former director of the Caddo Parish Health Unit. She and three others from the health unit and LSU School of Medi-cine talked with The Times about the flu and its prevention—the flu vac-cine. In addition to Dr. Van Hook, there were Dr. Burton West, as-sociate professor of medicine and chief of the section of infectious diseases at the LSU School of Medi-cine; Marie Gallagher, director of education at the health unit, and Mrs. Roma Caldwell, head of nursing at the unit. "You get the flu from other peo-ple," explained Dr. West. "After exposure, it takes from one-and-a-half to two days to get sick," and the achiness can last from four to ten days. "Most healthy people get over it." he said,"but even a few healthy people will die. They get serious pneumonia for which there is no specific treatment. But the flu is more serious for high risk persons— those are the people with chronic lung and heart disease, diabetics and [those with kidney disease. Cancer atients are also high risk, and, in neral, people over the age of 64." Even young people are not ex-empt. Children who are chronically ill are also considered high risk. added Dr. Van Hook, and even young adults are considered high risk with certain strains of the flu. There is not just one flu virus. "The strains change," explained Dr. West. "New ones come from nature, and they're usually stronger. People don't have resistance to them." This is usually the case with an epidemic, when a large number of people are sick. Because there is no real treatment for the flu, prevention is the key to management of the disease. Doctors are constantly watching all parts of the world for influenza outbreaks to determine which kinds of flu will be going around. With this information, a vaccine is made to prevent the spread of the virus. There will be three viruses in the vaccine this year, Dr. West ex-plained. "One is the Russian flu virus, another is a variant of the Hong Kong and the third is also a Hong Kong, but a B-type." Flu vi-ruses are named for the area where they are isolated initially. The flu shot should be taken about a month before the flu season begins It takes that long tor the vaccine to start working^.and it should be taken annually. "Each year is a little dif-ferent," said Dr. Van Hook, "but our flu season begins usually in Decem-ber and January, then raises its ugly head again in the last of February and March. And it can occur in the summer," she added. The vaccine is available now from private physicians, and Dr. Van Hook and Dr. West both strongly urge high risk persons to take the vaccine. There will be no nationwide vaccinatioh program this year like the one in 1976 to prevent an epidemic of the swine flu. Funding was not appropriated by Congress. "We have tentative plans to con-tinue the program like last year," said Ms. Gallagher, "But we don't have our guidelines yet. We expect to hear next week." But what about the risk of Guillain- Barre—the paralysis that resulted from the 1976 swine flu vaccine? That was a very rare complica-tion," said Dr. Van Hook, "and that was the first time it was associated with influenza. I feel that the benefit of the vaccine to high risk persons is greater than the risk of Guillain- Barre,"she said, getting a nod of agreement from Dr. West. "We've been giving vaccines since 195V. ' Dr. Van Hook recalled. "That was when we had the first outbreak of Asian flu." There have been other epidemics of the flu, Dr. West pointed out. but no large immuniza-tion program until the mid '50s. Two years ago, in 1976, the federal government launched a major pro-gram to vaccinate people against the swine flu virus. The epidemic which had been predicted never material-ized, and the program backfired. last year, no large outbreaks of the fiu were expected, so a major vac-tine program was not launched. Hopefully, there will be no large outbreaks this year either.

On Friday, Omaha-bred band 311 returns to the area for another concert, which will feature some songs that fans may not hear very often.
The rap-reggae-rock band — which got its start playing Omaha venues such as Sokol Underground, Howard Street Tavern and the Ranch Bowl — will bring some lesser-played songs to its set.
"Now, we have a lot of songs. We try and rotate as many as we can," 311 drummer Chad Sexton told The World-Herald. "We're concentrating on songs we haven't played in the last eight years."
During a week of rehearsals with the band, Sexton called to talk about 311's plans for the summer tour, which will include a big chunk of the band's catalog.
Just don't expect any new tunes. The band's still playing songs from its 2011 album, "Universal Pulse," and Sexton said band members are still writing songs individually and will bring them together in the fall.
"We used to play new songs all the time in the '90s," he said. "And then the Internet came in. If we're writing something, we don't want someone to record it and put it somewhere before it's finished."
Things like that come with have a fervent fan base that likes to record shows, document setlists and travel to see the band. Fans of 311 have also made it possible for the band to have multi-day events like 3-11 Day (the band's biennial celebration), Pow Wow Festival (the band's first-ever festival that took place last year) and the 311 Carribean Cruise (the second event wrapped up this spring).
The fan base also means the band completes its Unity Tour every summer and, with record sales majorly declining, helps keep the band afloat financially.
"We are completely blessed with that. They're amazing. high-energy, very positive group of people that love to have a good time and step out of the normal life box, you know?" Sexton said. "It's a blessing. We can't do it without them. They're the exact fan base I would wish to have."
While talking about the band's past, Sexton had some laughs when trying to recall specific concerts. Some of them blend together, he said, but that's natural for a band that's lasted more than 20 years.
There's no secret to the band's longevity — only that everyone is focused on continuing to make music together.
"It's not like we ever haven't disagreed or ever haven't strongly disagreed," he said with a laugh. "I think it comes down to when it's up to each individual, you would more likely than not want to move on with the band and see how far it can go. That overrides anything else that would break it up."

Fessler, Diane Burke. No Time for Fear (Michigan State University Press, 1996).
No Time For Fear summons the voices of more than 100 women who served as nurses overseas during World War II, letting them tell their story as no one else can. Fessler has meticulously compiled and transcribed more than 200 interviews with American military nurses of the Army, Army Air Force, and Navy who were present in all theaters of WWII. Their stories bring to life horrific tales of illness and hardship, blinding blizzards, and near starvation-all faced with courage, tenacity, and even good humor. This unique oral-history collection makes available to readers an important counterpoint to the seemingly endless discussions of strategy, planning, and troop movement that often characterize discussions of the Second World War.
Fleming, Gerald. Hitler and the Final Solution (Univeristy of California Press, 1987).
Fleming is the only scholar given access to the interrogations of the German civilian crematoria engineers lying inaccessible, until a few months ago, in Moscow. This historically important information finally places the last stone in the mosaic of Auschwitz-Berkenau.
Fletcher, Marvin. America's First Black General (Amistad, 2003).
Excellent biography of Benjamin O. Davis, Sr., who became the first African American to be promoted as a flag officer in the United States military.
Ford, Ken. (The History Press, 2007).
On the night of 9/10 July 1943, an Allied armada of 2,590 vessels launched one of the largest combined operations of the Second World War - the invasion of Sicily, Operation 'Husky'. Over the next 38 days, half a million British, Canadian, American and French soldiers, sailors, and airmen grappled with their German and Italian counterparts for control of this rocky outcrop of Hitler's 'Fortress Europe'. The Allied assault on Sicily featured airborne and amphibious landings; mountain warfare; international rivalry; poorly performing troops; tenacious German resistance; and, improvements in tactical air support and the ultimate Allied victory on the island. Almost the whole of the progress of the Second World War is illustrated by this one campaign. It was the only action where the whole Allied war effort was brought to bear on a single objective, with one army commanded by Patton and one army commanded by Montgomery. Both men were insufferable egoists and insubordinate commanders; they always chose to do their own thing, regardless of others' sensibilities and always with one eye on how history would see them. The seeds of rivalry between these two key Allied commanders that were sown in the Sicily campaign eventually grew to fruition in the battles for Normandy and the Ardennes.
Fowler, Edward. San'Ya Blues (Cornell University Press, 1998).
Over the years, Edward Fowler, an American academic, became a familiar presence in San'ya, a run-down neighborhood in northeastern Tokyo. The city's largest day-labor market, notorious for its population of casual laborers, drunks, gamblers, and vagrants, has been home for more than half a century to anywhere from five to fifteen thousand men who cluster in the mornings at a crossroads called Namidabashi (Bridge of Tears) in hopes of getting work. The day-labor market, along with gambling and prostitution, is run by Japan's organized crime syndicates, the yakuza. Working as a day laborer himself, Fowler kept a diary of his experiences. He also talked with day laborers and local merchants, union leaders and bureaucrats, gangsters and missionaries. The resulting oral histories, juxtaposed with Fowler's narrative and diary entries, bring to life a community on the margins of contemporary Japan.
Located near a former outcaste neighborhood, on what was once a public execution ground, San'ya shows a hidden face of Japan and contradicts the common assumption of economic and social homogeneity. Fowler argues that differences in ethnicity and class, normally suppressed in mainstream Japanese society, are conspicuous in San'ya and similar communities. San'ya's largely middle-aged, male day-laborer population contains many individuals displaced by Japan?s economic success, including migrants from village communities, castoffs from restructuring industries, and foreign workers from Korea and China. The neighborhood and its inhabitants serve as an economic buffer zone, they are the last to feel the effects of a boom and the first to feel a recession. They come alive in this book, telling urgent stories that personify such abstractions as the costs of modernization and the meaning of physical labor in postindustrial society.
Franco, Jere Bishop. Crossing the Pond: The Native American Effort in World War II (University of North Texas Press, First edition, 1999).
"Crossing the Pond" is a term Native Americans used to describe the process of being transfered overseas for military duty. This was both an event and a duty taken quite seriously by tribal memebers, who participated in every aspect of wartime America. On the homefront, Native Americans gave comparable and sometimes exemplary contributions to civilian defense work, Red Cross drives, and war bond purchases.
Crossing the Pond also chronicles the unsuccessful efforts of Nazi propagandists to exploit Native Americans for the Third Reich, as well as the successful efforts of the United States government and the media to recruit Native Americans, utilize their resources, and publicize their activities for the war effort. Franco's research indicates that Native Americans fully intended to return to their reservations after the war, where they believed they, as the "First Americans," would be able to participate in a "better America." Attention is also given to the postwar experiences of Native American men and women as they sought the franchise, educational equality, economic stability, the right to purchase alcohol, and the same amount of respect given to other American war veterans.
Francis, Charles E. Tuskegee Airmen: The Men Who Changed a Nation (Branden Books, 4th edition, 2002).
In publishing this book in 1955, Charles Francis did not know that his title, The Tuskegee Airmen, was to launch a revolution of awareness among America's black pilots. Now in its fourth edition, the book contains about 100 original photographs, 120 pages of facts, 26 Index pages, and as complete a listing of the original graduating classes as can be found in other publications.
Frank, Richard B. Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire (Penguin, 2001).
In a riveting narrative that includes information from newly declassified documents, acclaimed historian Richard B. Frank gives a scrupulously detailed explanation of the critical months leading up to the dropping of the atomic bomb. Frank explains how American leaders learned in the summer of 1945 that their alternate strategy to end the war by invasion had been shattered by the massive Japanese buildup on Kyushu, and that intercepted diplomatic documents also revealed the dismal prospects of negotiation. Here also, for the first time, is a comprehensive account of how Japan's leaders were willing to risk complete annihilation to preserve the nation's existing order. Frank's comprehensive account demolishes long-standing myths with the stark realities of this great historical controversy.
Franks, Lucinda. My Father's Secret War (Miramx, 2007).
In this moving and compelling memoir about parent and child, father and daughter, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Lucinda Franks discovers that the remote, nearly impassive man she grew up with had in fact been a daring spy behind enemy lines in World War II. Sworn to secrecy, he began revealing details of his wartime activities only in the last years of his life as he became afflicted with Alzheimer's. His exploits revealed a man of remarkable bravado—posing as a Nazi guard, slipping behind enemy lines to blow up ammunition dumps, and being flown to one of the first concentration camps liberated by the Allies to report on the atrocities found there.
My Father's Secret War is an intimate account of Franks coming to know her own father after years of estrangement. Looking back at letters he had written her mother in the early days of WWII, Franks glimpses a loving man full of warmth. But after the grimmest assignments of the war his tone shifts, settling into an all-too-familiar distance. Franks learns about him—beyond the alcoholism and adultery—and comes to know the man he once was.
Frantz, Douglas and Catherine Collins. Death on the Black Sea: The Untold Story of the 'Struma' and World War II's Holocaust at Sea (Harper Perennial, 2004).
On the morning of February 24, 1942, on the Black Sea near Istanbul, an explosion ripped through a ship filled with Jewish refugees. One man clung fiercely to a piece of deck, fighting to survive. Nearly eight hundred others—among them, more than one hundred children—perished. From this dramatic prologue Death on the Black Sea unfolds as a powerful story of endurance and the struggle for survival aboard a decrepit former cattle barge called Struma. The only path to escape led through Istanbul, where the desperate passengers found themselves trapped in a closing vise between the Nazis and countries that refused them sanctuary.
The story of the Struma, its passengers, and the events that led to its destruction is investigated and revealed fully in two vivid, parallel accounts set six decades apart. One chronicles the diplomatic maneuvers and callousness of Great Britain, Romania, Turkey, and the rest of the international community, which resulted in the largest maritime loss of civilian life during World War II. The other part of the story recounts a recent attempt by a team of divers to locate the Struma at the bottom of the Black Sea, an effort initiated and pursued by the grandson of two of the victims. A vivid reconstruction of a grim exodus aboard a doomed ship, Death on the Black Sea illuminates a forgotten episode of World War II and pays tribute to the heroes, past and present, who keep its memory alive.
Friedlander, Saul. Nazi Germany and the Jews: The Years of Persecution 1933-1939 (Harper Perennial, 1998).
A great historian crowns a lifetime of thought and research by answering a question that has haunted us for more than 50 years: How did one of the most industrially and culturally advanced nations in the world embark on and continue along the path leading to one of the most enormous criminal enterprises in history, the extermination of Europe's Jews?
Giving considerable emphasis to a wealth of new archival findings, Saul Friedlander restores the voices of Jews who, after the 1933 Nazi accession to power, were engulfed in an increasingly horrifying reality. We hear from the persecutors themselves: the leaders of the Nazi party, the members of the Protestant and Catholic hierarchies, the university elites, and the heads of the business community. Most telling of all, perhaps, are the testimonies of ordinary German citizens, who in the main acquiesced to increasing waves of dismissals, segregation, humiliation, impoverishment, expulsion, and violence.
Friedlander, Saul. The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 (HarperCollins, 2007).
With The Years of Extermination, Saul Friedländer completes his major historical work on Nazi Germany and the Jews. The book describes and interprets the persecution and murder of the Jews throughout occupied Europe. The enactment of German extermination policies and measures depended on the cooperation of local authorities, the assistance of police forces, and the passivity of the populations, primarily of their political and spiritual elites. This implementation depended as well on the victims' readiness to submit to orders, often with the hope of attenuating them or of surviving long enough to escape the German vise.
This multifaceted study—at all levels and in different places—enhances the perception of the magnitude, complexity, and interrelatedness of the many components of this history. Based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices—mainly from diaries, letters, and memoirs—Saul Friedländer avoids domesticating the memory of these unprecedented and horrific events. The convergence of these various aspects gives a unique quality to The Years of Extermination. In this work, the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.
Friedrich, Jörg. The Fire: The Bombing of Germany, 1940-1945 (Columbia University Press, 2006).
For five years during the Second World War, the Allies launched a trial and error bombing campaign against Germany's historical city landscape. Peaking in the war's final three months, it was the first air attack of its kind. Civilian dwellings were struck by-in today's terms-"weapons of mass destruction," with a total of 600,000 casualties, including 70,000 children. In The Fire, historian and journalist, Friedrich explores this crucial chapter in military and world history. Combining meticulous research with striking illustrations, Friedrich presents a vivid account of the saturation bombing, rendering in acute detail the annihilation of cities such as Dresden, the jewel of Germany's rich art and architectural heritage. He incorporates the personal stories and firsthand testimony of German civilians into his narrative, creating a macabre portrait of unimaginable suffering, horror, and grief, and he draws on official military documents to unravel the reasoning behind the strikes.
Evolving military technologies made the extermination of whole cities possible, but owing, perhaps, to the Allied victory and what W. G. Sebald noted as "a pre-conscious self-censorship, a way of obscuring a world that could no longer be presented in comprehensible terms," the wisdom of this strategy has never been questioned. The Fire is a rare account of the air raids as they were experienced by the civilians who were their targets.
Fujitani, T. (Editor). Perilous Memories: The Asia-Pacific War(s) (Duke University Press, 2001).
Perilous Memories makes a groundbreaking and critical intervention into debates about war memory in the Asia-Pacific region. Arguing that much is lost or erased when the Asia-Pacific War(s) are reduced to the 1941–1945 war between Japan and the United States, this collection challenges mainstream memories of the Second World War in favor of what were actually multiple, widespread conflicts. The contributors recuperate marginalized or silenced memories of wars throughout the region—not only in Japan and the United States but also in China, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, Okinawa, Taiwan, and Korea.
Firmly based on the insight that memory is always mediated and that the past is not a stable object, the volume demonstrates that we can intervene positively yet critically in the recovery and reinterpretation of events and experiences that have been pushed to the peripheries of the past. The contributors—an international list of anthropologists, cultural critics, historians, literary scholars, and activists—show how both dominant and subjugated memories have emerged out of entanglements with such forces as nationalism, imperialism, colonialism, racism, and sexism. They consider both how the past is remembered and also what the consequences may be of privileging one set of memories over others. Specific objects of study range from photographs, animation, songs, and films to military occupations and attacks, minorities in wartime, "comfort women," commemorative events, and postwar activism in pursuing redress and reparations.
Fussell, Paul. The Boys' Crusade: The American Infantry in Northwestern Europe, 1944-1945 (Modern Library, 2005).
The Boys' Crusade is the great historian Paul Fussell's unflinching and unforgettable account of the American infantryman's experiences in Europe during World War II. Based in part on the author's own experiences, it provides a stirring narrative of what the war was actually like, from the point of view of the children—for children they were—who fought it. While dealing definitively with issues of strategy, leadership, context, and tactics, Fussell has an additional purpose: to tear away the veil of feel-good mythology that so often obscures and sanitizes war's brutal essence.
"A chronicle should deal with nothing but the truth," Fussell writes in his Preface. Accord-ingly, he eschews every kind of sentimentalism, focusing instead on the raw action and human emotion triggered by the intimacy, horror, and intense sorrows of war, and honestly addressing the errors, waste, fear, misery, and resentments that plagued both sides. In the vast literature on World War II, The Boys' Crusade stands wholly apart. Fussell's profoundly honest portrayal of these boy soldiers underscores their bravery even as it deepens our awareness of their experiences. This book is both a tribute to their noble service and a valuable lesson for future generations.
Fussell, Paul. Doing Battle: The Making of a Skeptic (Back Bay Books, 1998).
A novelist and WWII veteran, reminds us that only those who've experienced it can truly understand that war is hell. He writes with bite and humor of the horrors and inequalities of the so-called "Good War," which he says "for the United States, [was] an unintended form of eugenics, clearing the population of the dumbest, the least skilled, the least promising of all Americans." Not exactly the thoughts of a sentimentalist, but the notion that war is horrible should be eternally reinforced, and Fussell does so with a fury and skill few writers can muster.
Fussell, Paul. Wartime: Understanding and Behavior in the Second World War (Oxford University Press, 1990).
Winner of both the National Book Award for Arts and Letters and the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism, Paul Fussell's classic The Great War and Modern Memory remains one of the most original and gripping volumes ever written about the First World War. In its panoramic scope and poetic intensity, it illuminated a war that changed a generation and revolutionized the way we see the world. Now, in Wartime, Paul Fussell turns to the Second World War, the conflict in which he himself fought, to weave a more intensely personal and wide-ranging narrative. Whereas his former book focused primarily on literary figures, here Fussell examines the immediate impact of the war on soldiers and civilians. He compellingly depicts the psychological and emotional atmosphere of World War II by analyzing the wishful thinking and the euphemisms people needed to deal with unacceptable reality; by describing the abnormally intense frustration of desire and some of the means by which desire was satisfied; and, most importantly, by emphasizing the damage the war did to intellect, discrimination, honesty, individuality, complexity, ambiguity, and wit. Of course, no book of Fussell's would be complete without serious attention to the literature of the time. He offers astute commentary on Edmund Wilson's argument with Archibald MacLeish, Cyril Connolly's Horizon magazine, the war poetry of Randall Jarrell and Louis Simpson, and many other aspects of the wartime literary world. In this stunning volume, Fussell conveys the essence of that war as no other writer before him has.

The complaint charges THQ and some of its officers and directors with violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 during the period of May 3, 2011 to February 3, 2012 where the complaint states THQ provided "materially false and misleading" statements regarding the failed peripheral and that it "failed to disclose adverse facts" regarding the product line.
