Bob Dylan told us the times were changing, and indeed they were. The late 1960s and early 70s put a huge curve in the road of American consciousness along what, until that time, had been the straight and narrow. Put another way, Wally Cleaver skipped town and left the check for Beaver. A great many people were tumultuous and hungry and some were reckless - but they were not afraid. Others were more settled and not so breathless. They were content for the most part except when the hungry ones threatened their beliefs in what was right. To put at risk everything they'd sacrificed for was out of the question for the settled ones, and fearlessness was in them all. Poor Beaver. Poor us. That then, was the time when Tom Tracy first began to find his words; against a backdrop of moon walks and Malibu. Between love and not-so-much, or this page and the next. Writing for him was a way to hold onto somewhere he couldn't stay, to catalogue his impressions or to claim as his own what he could not keep. It still is. Now, Tracy shares with us a unique collection of poems, prose and haikus that are sometimes tough to put a finger on, yet somehow familiar in an uncanny way. Catching the Light Anyway seeks to rouse the undefined remembrances that we all carry with us and take them along for a tasty little spin down 2018th Street.

Pamela married into the Whitaker family in 1973 to find that her father in law, James Allen Whitaker II, had been conducting extensive research on the family using the common methodology of the time; letters, phone calls and personal visits. While his collection of data was extensive, it failed to connect the family to its European roots. After his death in 2006, Pamela began researching where he left off. With the help of computers, the internet and visits to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, she made the connections that trace the family back to its origins in Scotland, England and to the Plantagenet line. This book is the result of that work. Genealogists able to trace themselves or their families back to Jabez Whitaker of Jamestown will find that this book helps move them "across the pond".

Complacency is Killing Healthcare! We have watched as costs have risen, access has decreased, and quality has deteriorated. We've allowed these things to occur without discussing alternatives. Dr. Alm has spent over twenty years in medicine and believes that it is time to make dramatic changes to medical care provided in the United States. First, he discusses why a change is needed; including a broad discussion of key indicators of health and the staggering costs to the US taxpayer. He presents his plan for how the medical system in the United States could be improved. He presents how care could be provided by the federal government. Providing care through federal facilities by federal employees would provide better care, more effectively and more efficiently. The presentation points out differences in his plan and the current healthcare system; included is discussion of who would be affected if this plan were implemented, both those positively and negatively affected. A primary idea runs throughout the book: there are more problems to the current healthcare system than just who will pay for healthcare. Dr. Alm is concerned about these other problems and addresses physician training, research, need for rural healthcare facilities and the extremely important lack of mental healthcare in this country. This book is not just an effort to point out the problems in the system but also a possible solution to the issues facing healthcare in America. He finishes with some things that the reader can do to improve their own healthcare.

Corporate eLearning or training can provide multiple benefits to corporations. However, it is still unclear how employees benefit from using different eLearning management systems as a means of training and development. Corporations continue to provide eLearning support to their employees without knowing the impact on employees' productivity, job satisfaction, overall job performance, and organizational commitment. Corporations are sometimes in the dark whether expenditures on eLearning correlate to higher productivity; improve job satisfaction, and overall organizational commitment. Corporations also wonder whether their eLearning investments for training and development are justified. This book examines whether eLearning usage has any correlation with these variables. A survey of educational institutions and international corporations was conducted to explore the impact of corporate eLearning on employees' productivity, job satisfaction, overall job performance, and organizational commitment. Demographic factors such as age, gender, employee status (fulltime or part-time), managerial level, year of eLearning experience, educational level, and company size were analyzed to determine impact on employee satisfaction, productivity, performance, and commitment. The results showed that the use of technology alone will not yield desired results; corporations need to determine a balance between eLearning strategies and managerial support.
