HarperCollins Inks Deal With No. 1 Bestselling Rock Band Bon Jovi

NEW YORK, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- HarperCollins Publishers today announced a deal to publish the first ever official Bon Jovi book, Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful. Celebrating the band's 25th anniversary, the book contains never-before-seen photographs and exclusive text from the band and will be published next October by the Collins Design imprint. Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful will also serve as a companion to a major documentary about the band being released at the same time.

The story of Bon Jovi's career -- spanning three decades, countless hits, sold-out stadiums -- reads like a timeline of popular culture and has earned them legendary status. But for all their acclaim, fans have been offered very few up-close-and-personal glimpses of the band members. To commemorate their 25th anniversary, the band gave filmmaker and photographer Phil Griffin unprecedented access to their lives, onstage and off, during 2008. The Lost Highway tour became the #1 tour in the world last year, according to Billboard Magazine. This insider portrait of one of the world's best-loved rock bands is the subject of a major documentary and this extraordinary book is a must-have for all Bon Jovi fans.

The public face of Bon Jovi -- band of brothers, hitmakers, rock stars -- is well known, but in Bon Jovi: When We Were Beautiful, gorgeous, exclusive photographs and revealing text from Jon, Richie, David and Tico themselves tell the behind-the-scenes story. From intimate moments to basking in the limelight, the book offers fans an honest, unposed and unscripted portrait of this legendary band at work and at home.

"We are honored to be collaborating with one of the most successful bands in Rock history," said Marta Schooler, Publisher of Collins Design. "Bon Jovi's continuing success has been no less than remarkable and we are thrilled to be publishing the must-have book for all their fans."

The book offers unprecedented insights into the members' lives on stage, on the road, and at home, as well as intimate reflections on the highs and lows of their 25 years together. Bon Jovi is responsible for some of popular music's biggest anthems over the last twenty-five years. Since Bon Jovi's eponymous album release in 1984, their songs have propelled their albums and tours to stratospheric success with precision consistency. From rock songs ("You Give Love A Bad Name," "Living On A Prayer," "It's My Life," "Who Says You Can't Go Home,") to ballads ("Bed of Roses," "I'll Be There For You," "Always,"), to outlaw-themed anthems ("Wanted Dead or Alive," "Blaze of Glory"), their arsenal of All-American songs have repeatedly found a reception on a global stage. Bon Jovi has sold over 120 million records worldwide and charted seven #1 singles and countless Top Ten hits.

New Book Challenges America's Leadership to Uphold the Principles of Justice, Truth and Compassion

TAMPA, Fla., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- As a new Administration and America face economic, social, and political uncertainties, social commentator, keynote speaker and diversity consultant Dr. Melvin James presents solutions for restructuring the social, economic, legal, religious and political sectors of America. In "God Bless America: Contemporary Analyses of Truth, Justice and Compassion," he provides authoritative and compelling analyses of American governance and society.

Dr. James examines societal foundations that need to be restructured. On race relations, he calls for more open dialogue on racism which "is deeply etched in the societal blanket." On the statement that we are "a nation of laws," he reminds us that "America when it disenfranchised women was also 'a nation of laws.'" On democracy, he states, "In Special Interests Democracy, the masses select the national players; the lobbyists ... set the agenda and outcomes." On the economic crisis he notes, "Minimally regulated capitalism is not just another economic model; it is premised on a self-centered philosophy of life." He also indicates that a compassionate America is grounded in the belief of the intrinsic dignity of every American regardless of his/her economic or social condition.

The genesis of the book followed the deadly 9/11 attack and the outburst of national solidarity embodied in the song, "God Bless America." Consequently, the portrait of a blessed America where greater levels of Justice, Truth and Compassion prevail is presented. As a diversity consultant and theologian, James brings new perspectives to this discourse.

To depict what America should be, James rewrites the discourse of "A City on a Hill" given by Governor Winthrop in 1630. In the call for a national ethic of truth he reminds us that, "A nation that manipulates truth for its own ends, will one day discover that it has lost control over those desired ends." On foreign policy, we are cautioned that as stereoscopic vision is necessary for human survival, stereoscopic comprehension of the socio-political history of nations is indispensable for planetary survival.

This book is intended for persons in leadership in all sectors of society. Topics include: Where was God on September 11?; Who is an American?; Truth and Political Correctness; Legal Injustice by Design; A Message to African Americans; Hurricane Katrina and Moral Visual Impairment; Compassionate Political Leadership; America and Democracy; America and the World. A series of chapter questions are designed to stimulate group discussions. The book can serve as a supplementary text for college courses in the social sciences, education and religion. Copies of the book are available from http://www.amazon.com or http://www.godblessamw.com.

Dr. Melvin James is a diversity consultant and psychotherapist and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Florida. He is an adjunct professor at the University of South Florida and Argosy University.

Power and Responsibility: Building International Order in an Era of Transnational Threats

"The vision, ideas, and solutions they put forward in this book have the potential to redeem American foreign policy." -- Brent Scowcroft

"I salute the Managing Global Insecurity (MGI) project and this book, Power and Responsibility, for undertaking the challenging endeavor of strengthening and improving our current means of international cooperation. This book sets a platform from which to take forward the vital agenda of restoring American leadership and creating a more effective international system." -- Madeleine K. Albright

"Power and Responsibility offers timely, relevant, and responsible advice on America's future foreign policy. The authors address our need to strengthen our alliances and forge relationships based on common interests. Addressing twenty-first century challenges will require engaging the world with strong leadership and a twenty-first century frame of reference." -- Chuck Hagel

WASHINGTON, March 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- As soon as he was sworn into office on January 20, 2009, President Barack Obama was immediately faced with security threats unconstrained by borders. From climate change, nuclear proliferation and terrorism to conflict, poverty, disease and economic instability, these threats overwhelm an outdated and unrepresentative post-World War II international security system. In their important and timely new book, Power and Responsibility: Building International Order in an Era of Transnational Threats (Brookings Institution Press; March 3, 2009; $32.95), Bruce Jones, Carlos Pascual, and Stephen John Stedman argue that, in order to advance its own interests, the United States must learn to govern in an interdependent world, exercise leadership through cooperation and forge a new compact with the world's traditional and emerging powers.

With a new approach to sovereignty and cooperation, Power and Responsibility outlines a vision for an international order that can promote global security and prosperity for the next 50 years. The authors argue that international cooperation must be built on the principle of responsible sovereignty--the idea that in an interconnected world, sovereignty entails obligations and duties toward other states as well as to one's own citizens. The first step in strengthening international relations will be the restoration of American credibility and leadership, particularly American re-commitment to a rule-based international system. In addition, the U.S. must institutionalize cooperation with rising powers and promote effective international institutions that will provide legitimacy, mobilize resources and deliver on top global challenges.

The result of a collaborative project on Managing Global Insecurity, Power and Responsibility also draws its findings from the project's Advisory Group, composed of prominent figures from the United States and abroad, including Madeleine Albright, John Podesta, Richard Armitage, EU High Representative Javier Solana, former Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, and one-time Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov.

As President Obama takes his first steps into his term, the time has arrived for a serious rethinking of American global leadership for the 21st century.

Over the last fifteen years, a new trend in relationships has emerged linked to increasing stress. Both couples and singles believe they are too busy or too exhausted to resolve their relationship issues, and often think their partners are either too demanding or just too different to understand. Attempting to cope with the increasing stress of working for a living, both men and women feel neglected at home. While some couples experience increasing tension, others have just given up, sweeping their emotional needs under the carpet. They may get along, but the passion is gone.

John Gray, PhD, the best selling relationship author of all time - is the author of 16 best-selling books including Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus: one of the best-selling books of the last decade. In the past fifteen years, over 40 million Mars Venus books have been sold in over 45 languages throughout the world. An expert in the field of communication, John Gray's focus is to help men and women understand, respect and appreciate their differences in both personal and professional relationships. In his many books, CD's, DVD's, tapes, workshops and seminars, he provides practical tools and insights to effectively manage stress and improve relationships at all stages and ages by creating the brain chemistry of health, happiness and lasting romance. His latest book, Why Mars & Venus Collide - which recently reached the Amazon top one hundred - reveals how men and women can improve relationships by understanding how they cope differently with stress. John Gray has appeared on Oprah, The Today Show, CBS Morning Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, The View, Politically Incorrect, Larry King and others. He has been profiled in Newsweek, Time, Forbes, USA Today, TV Guide, People and New Age Journal, among others.

Obama's Speech Filled with Rhetoric, Wishful Thinking, According to Fitzgerald Griffin Foundation Columnist, Robert Hale

VIENNA, Va., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fitzgerald Griffin Foundation website, http://www.fgfBooks.com, released a column today critiquing 14 points from President Obama's speech on Tuesday. North Dakota attorney and builder, Robert L. Hale, takes the President to task for "wishful rhetoric" and his "clear misunderstanding of how markets work."

Some of Hale's 14 points include:

--The President said: "In order to save our children from a future of debt, we will also end the tax breaks for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans." Hale comments: "Does it seem a realistic that two percent of Americans are going to pay off a federal debt estimated to be between $12 trillion and $19 trillion?"

--The President said: "We have done more to advance the cause of health care reform in the last thirty days than we have in the last decade." Hale replies: "What has been provided is health care insurance -- not health care reform. Nothing has been done to reform a health care system that is bloated by massive Medicare and Medicaid mismanagement.

--The President said: "...we will put Americans to work making our homes and buildings more efficient so that we can save billions of dollars on our energy bills." Hale replies: "As a builder for more than 30 years, I can state unequivocally this is a fiction. It is simply cannot be done.

--The President said: "I'm proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks." Hale comments: "Yet news reports identified up to 9,000 earmarks in Congress' $410 billion omnibus spending bill."

--The President said: "The ability to get a loan is how you finance the purchase of everything... and [how] businesses make payroll." Hale responds: "Businesses do not make payrolls with loans. Those that do, don't stay in business; they fail."

For more than three decades, Mr. Hale has been involved in drafting proposed laws and counseling elected officials in ways to remove burdensome and unnecessary rules and regulations.

"For those who listened carefully and understand how sustainable jobs and prosperity happen, the President's speech was a terrible disappointment," Mr. Hale said.

The full column can be read at the Fitzgerald Griffin Foundation's website, www.fgfBooks.com, which posts articles of commentary on current events, the culture, and society.

The Red Wine Pill

TORONTO, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The following was written by W. Gifford-Jones M.D., a medical journalist.

How do the French differ from North Americans? They eat fat-rich, calorie-packed baked goodies which are not heart healthy. Yet they're less likely to die from cardiovascular disease than North Americans. It's called "The French Paradox", believed to be linked to resveratrol, a substance found in red wine. Now, a study shows that a red wine pill provides more health benefits than drinking hundreds of glasses of the sweet nectar of the gods.

Dr. David Sinclair, at The Harvard Medical School, has developed a concentrated form of resveratrol. He's tested the effects on mice and believes it will help to offset the effect of high fat diets, decrease the chance of diabetes and slow down aging in humans.

Middle-aged mice were fed a diet in which 60 percent of calories came from fat. They developed signs of diabetes and died much sooner than mice fed on a regular diet.

Another group of middle aged mice were fed the same diet along with resveratrol. This prevented the onset of diabetes and even though obese, they lived as long as those fed a regular diet. It showed mice could be gluttons at mealtime without paying the price later on.

Dr. Johan Auwerx, at the Institute of Molecular Biolgy in Illkirch, France showed that an ordinary mouse could run one kilometer on a treadmill. But mice given resveratrol ran twice as far and had a slower heart rate, similar to trained athletes. As Dr. Auwerx remarked, "Resveratrol makes you look like a trained athlete without the training."

Auwerx believes resveratrol generates energy in the body's cells thereby burning more fat and avoiding weight gain. Examination of muscle fibers of the mice revealed they had been remodeled by resveratrol into a type prevalent in trained human athletes.

Other scientists believe that enzymes, such as sirtuin, keep the body healthful in youth, but become less powerful with age. They claim that resveratrol restores the activity of these enzymes.

At this point I'm ready to pour myself a glass or two of Cabernet Sauvignon. But according to Dr. Sinclair I would have to drink 1,500 bottles of red wine daily to get the same amount of resveratrol that was given to mice. The alternative is the Red Wine Pill.

Sinclair's research is driven by his own desire to slow down aging. As he told me, "This is the Holy Grail of Aging Research." And he says he, his wife, parents and half of his research staff take the red wine pill.

So what is the choice? If you're a moderate drinker you can continue to enjoy a frequent glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Many studies show you will live longer. But Dr. Sinclair stresses his research is not about red wine which provides miniscule amounts of resveratrol. Rather, it's about getting a concentrated dose of resveratrol in the Red Wine Pill.

For years doctors have feared promoting the health benefits of wine because of social problems associated with excessive use of alcohol. Now the Red Wine Pill allows teetotalers the health benefits of wine without the alcohol or calories.

Since 50 percent of patients with diabetes die from heart attack, the Red Wine Pill will hopefully help decrease this complication in years ahead. And if Dr. Auwex's and Dr. Sinclair's research is right, the Red Wine Pill should help to decrease the chance of cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, and give energy to those who are tired all the time.

Several red wine pills are available, but studies show some brands provide only small amounts of resveratrol. I've relied on the work of seven international nutritionists and their book "The Comparative Guide To Nutritional Supplements." They analyzed and rated 500 vitamin products. No company hit the perfect score 100. One company Vitamin Research Products was 93.1. Their product, "Extension Resveratrol", also contains red wine polyphenols which act synergistically with resveratrol and quercetin which prolongs the action of resveratrol in the body.

The Comparative Guide To Nutritional Supplements is loaded with vitamin information. See the web site www.comparativeguide.com. And for the red wine pill see the web site www.vrp.com or the toll free number 1-800-877-2447.

Journey into the Dark Recesses of the Subconscious Mind

"Dark Currents" shares poetry author's two-year period of severe depression

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- During a two-year time period, author Arthur F. Temple kept a journal, in which the basic underlying quality of his life on all levels had become intolerable, and the result is this fascinating book of poetry, "Dark Currents" (published by iUniverse).

In nearly 100 poems, Temple shares his heartfelt feelings of extremely difficult times in his life, from an abusive childhood, being laid off from his job, having his friendships and marriage severely strained, followed by a time period of great physical suffering. The physical suffering was the result of multiple serious health issues. Due to his deteriorating health, he was "holed up" in an apartment for nearly the entire two years with the exception of hospital room visits and subsequent visits to several specialists.

A friend suggested that writing might help him through his depression and even be cathartic for him. With most of the selections written in prose poetry, Temple's thoughts are divided into four chapters: Memories, Proverbs, Society and Abyss.

"Memories" deals with abhorrent childhood and young adult memories. "Proverbs" is the result of his daily observations since childhood. "Society" reflects on his thoughts of daily current events. "Abyss" was written at the height of his depression and moments when he was not even lucid.

As in "Responsibility" from the "Proverbs" chapter:

It is easier for mankind to deny truth to shed itself from responsibility.

What would transpire if the listless masses woke from their slumber?

Temple is also an artist, as each piece of poetry comes with an abstract piece of art related to the subject matter.

About the Author

Arthur F. Temple was born and raised in New York City. Although he has lived in several states across America, he currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. Temple has suffered from multiple health issues since receiving mass amounts of radiation treatment as a teenager. The long-term side effects of this treatment came about simultaneously, which affected most of his major organs, and spun his asthma out of control. Currently, he is healthy, stable and proud of his debut book of poetry. Visit him online at www.arthurftemple.com.

Our Need to Remember: Growing Up with Faith and Family During Wartime in America

HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Set in a middle-class neighborhood on the east side of Indianapolis during World War II, "Me and Howard: Surviving the '40s in Indianapolis" (published by iUniverse) is a non-fiction work about simpler times in a smaller America.

This nostalgic memoir, written by Raymond N. Armstrong, details how Raymond and older brother Howard grew up together, explored together and learned from each other, and from friends and family, what it meant to be boys. They grew up in an ordinary neighborhood, with playmates like themselves who learned out of necessity to be creative and inventive with their time. They climbed trees, invented games on bicycles, explored the creek, and told each other stories under spirea bushes in the backyard, often with close buddies "Doc" and "Mildew" who shared many of their adventures.

The boys learned to work, to study, to follow their hobbies, and eventually to take their place in the community as productive citizens. For this they credit their devoted schoolteachers, members of their church, and persons in the neighborhood. The Armstrong brothers especially credit their loving parents who gave them a legacy of hard work, hope, and a life based on faith in God. Together, the family pursued gardening, canning, walks in the woods, Christmas traditions at home and with grandparents, and a reliance on Christian faith that took form in the context of a congregation of German-American churchmen.

The author recalls the shared conflicts and joys of boyhood during a time of war and rationing, anchored by the values of their parents. Their neighborhood still maintained family life, school discipline, ethics in business and relationships, and time for boys to explore the world around them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Raymond Armstrong is a retired United Methodist Church and the United Church of Christ minister. He and wife Deena, a Speech/Language Pathologist, live in Hagerstown, Indiana. They have four children and six grandchildren. Besides writing, Ray pursues photography, painting, cooking, and building muzzle-loading rifles. Occasionally, he still preaches. This is his first book.

'Probable Cause': Provocative New Book Seeks to Shed New Light, Offer Alternative Theories on JFK's Assassination

WINCHESTER, Va., Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In her compelling, controversial new book, "Probable Cause: ReThinking of the JFK Plot" (published by AuthorHouse), Robin Haines seeks to deliver a powerful message to the American people about the circumstances surrounding the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Taking a radical departure from the Warren Report theories, Haines distances herself from the idea that JFK's death was the result of a criminal conspiracy. Instead of seeing it as a crime plotted against the president by others, she claims the assassination was a massive deception staged from within the government as a means of civil defense.

According to Haines, the president was fully aware of the government's plot and fully cooperated with intelligence officers, giving authorization to proceed. "He signed a direct Presidential Executive Order, and personally arranged for the security precautions normally in effect to be removed," she writes.

"Probable Cause" names three men Haines believes are responsible for the assassination. At the time the book was first written, all three men were still living, but are now deceased. Although Haines believes she had enough evidence compiled to have them arrested, she "really doesn't think they did anything wrong," she writes, asserting that the assassination was carried out legally according to the laws in place in 1963.

Haines goes on to discuss the controversy surrounding the identity of Maurice Bishop, the testimony presented to the State Intelligence Committee in 1979, and E. Howard Hunt's lawsuit with the now-defunct Liberty Lobby. Haines also writes in depth about the mystery novels and spy thrillers written and published by Hunt and his colleague, David Atlee Phillips.

A must-read for any JFK conspiracy theorist, "Probable Cause" emerges with new evidence and compelling arguments. "The possibility does exist that JFK had to die in order to save America," Haines writes. "The 'Deception in Dallas' may have been the only alternative to nuclear war." Find out more in the compelling pages of "Probable Cause: ReThinking of the JFK Plot."

What the Billion Dollar Beauty Industry Does Not Want Leaked: That One Can Actually Reverse Aging for Free by Moving Only to the Right. We Smell a Nobel.

Tired of Putting Money in the Hands of Beauty Corporations for Botox, Pills, Creams, unused Gym Memberships, Plastic Surgery, and / or Counseling to Remain Youthful? Now one does not have to. New Book '6 Newly Discovered and Never Before Published Secrets to Eternal Youth and Immortality' gives FREE and Simple solutions that Truly Reverse the Aging Process so that folks can attain and maintain the Age they Intend to Look and Feel Forever - Guaranteed! Because the Secrets are Free to Test, people only have Health and Vitality to Gain, as the Beauty Industry stands to lose Billions.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Often times Simplicity is the Best Path. Eternal Youth Empire, a California Based not-for-profit Organization dedicated to health and vitality for the masses, may have Stumbled Upon the Key to Reverse Your Aging Process. Best of all, It is FREE to test the Key, to See that It works. http://www.EternalYouthEmpire.com Aside from the low cost of obtaining the Book from their Website, one never has to pay for anything for the Rest of one's Life, to stay Forever Young.

The following Key is the mind-blowing Secret that has never been publicly revealed before in Print, for Free: It is generally accepted that tiny particles called Atoms "make-up" Everything, and that electrons revolve around atoms in a rather Haphazard manner. Eternal Youth Empire discovered over 10 years ago that for some Reason, whenever anything organic decomposes or ages, the Electrons that once rotated Randomly quite suddenly organize Themselves in an orderly fashion and begin Rotating in a leftward, Counter-clockwise motion.

Therefore, aging and Decomposing is a matter of revolving to the left. If you believe that simplicity and elegance are common sense and that nature displays the macrocosm of the microcosm, therefore, if one never rotates to the left, one puts off aging Indefinitely. Basically, if one only moves in rightward clockwise motions, one will stay Youthful Forever.

Members of Eternal Youth Empire have only gone right for over 10 years and their Youthfulness is Credible. Whirling Dervishes and Yogis for centuries have advocated right twirls to stave off aging. A Physical Immortality Interest Group in Orange County, CA led by Lynn and Leo Youngblood have their own set of testimonials from only moving to the Right. Dr. Janni Lloyd of Australia concurs. Her blog on Oprah's website is titled, "Do You Choose Life" and the public is welcome to comment: http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/95436 .

Even UPS has now implemented only Right Turns for their Drivers. Time and gas spent by waiting to turn left is assuaged by going around the entire block by making 3 rights.

The Buck Institute of Aging in Marin County, CA, only one of three such Laboratories in the World and the Only One in the United States, is aware of Eternal Youth Empire's Guide, and have Invited the members of Eternal Youth Empire to visit with Them, which may be an Indication of Endorsement. Nobel can only be Close Behind.

Eternal Youth Empire says, "Try It for Yourself. It is 100% free!" If You ever have to turn left, instead, make a 270 degree turn to the right, like a twirl or pirouette. You will end up facing left as Intended and literally stave off aging forever. You may hear a short Interview for Free regarding this one Key by clicking on This Link: http://www.myspace.com/eyelipstongue where You can also get In Touch with this not-for-profit Organization.

Monday Smiles Asks Are You Suffering From Sombereconitis? Take This Quiz & Find Out!

Do you read about the current economic crisis and feel despondent or depressed?

Do you only see the negative side of the current financial turmoil?

Do most of your conversations revolve around the gloom of the current market?

Are you fearful that the worst is yet to come?

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be suffering from Sombereconitis. At least according to Chappale Linn Burton, author of How to Choose Happiness...Most of the Time: 30 Ways in 30 Days. Burton coined the term Sombereconitis to describe anyone who is overly worried, stressed out or negatively consumed with anxiety over the present economic situation.

"Most people don't realize that what you focus on expands and that each of us has the power to control our thoughts, which in turn affect our attitudes," states Burton. He has several suggestions for dealing with Sombereconitis.

1) Balance. You can be informed without being inundated. If you read an article and allow it to negatively affect your state of mind, balance that feeling by feeding your mind with some inspirational material.

2) Change your focus. Instead of focusing on the negative side of the financial turmoil, focus on things that you are passionate about (family, friends, hobbies or volunteering).

3) Gratefulness. The next time you find yourself talking about the market in a negative way, stop yourself and talk about something or someone you are grateful for.

4) Ask yourself better questions. What can I be doing right now to improve my current situation?

These are a few ways Burton suggests to get you well on to your road to recovery. To learn more about Chappale Linn Burton's strategies and techniques you can find his well received book, How to Choose Happiness... at www.Amazon.com. World renowned author and speaker Brian Tracy said, "Wow! This fast-moving inspirational book shows you how to be happy and joyous under any conditions."

Burton has a degree in psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. He has been a milieu therapist at a leading psychiatric hospital and is the co-founder of Monday Smiles, a self development company based in Los Angeles, CA. He tours the country speaking to students, corporations, and associations on self leadership and mindset management.

America Needs Power of Factory, Says Harbour in 'Factory Man'

DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Manufacturing is suffering because America has lost its focus on manufacturing and our belief in the factory life," says industry analyst James E. Harbour in his new autobiography, "Factory Man" available today and published by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.

Recognized worldwide as a leading automotive industry analyst and founder of The Harbour Report, a study of OEM's manufacturing performance, Harbour has co-authored this factual, non-technical book with James V. Higgins, an award-winning automotive reporter, columnist and editor who covered the industry for most of his career at The Detroit News.

"Factory Man" presents the insights of an automotive "insider" who became one of the industry's main critics. The book is a brutally honest assessment of what was wrong with U.S. automakers from the 1950s into the early 21st century. Harbour's views are as relevant to the auto industry today, as they were in 1981, when he issued his first Harbour Report.

His work experience while at Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler Corp. mainly in manufacturing, takes readers on a personal trip leading to his landmark discovery and evaluation of the Toyota Production System. That study helped persuade the Big Three that massive changes in their production systems were necessary in being more competitive with Japanese car companies.

In "Factory Man," Harbour also details the ramifications of fuel economy standards, trade and energy policies, and service and financial institutions being able to maintain our standard of living. He says we seem to think that by shifting low-cost manufacturing overseas we would better be able to focus on innovation and other futuristic pursuits. Financial institutions are not the creators of wealth but rather the consequence of it. Historically, if industrial development is lost, we can expect financial institutions to follow trade to the countries more successful than we are, writes Harbour.

"You can make things in a factory. That's where Detroit comes in and that's what America needs right now - a good jolt of the power of the factory," says Harbour, "allowing America's manufacturing industry to create wealth and put money in people's pockets."

Author Claims to 'Channel' Stories and Characters

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The author JL Julius is about to release his first novel, Widow's Leap, a paranormal love story of sorts. The story tells of two lovers that were separated by death; one has reincarnated and the other remains in the "gap" trying to reach her beloved. It is an emotional tale that ponders the question of love after death and if true love can reach beyond the grave.

According to Julius, this tale came unexpectedly when he walked over a bridge in North Carolina. He paused a moment, when suddenly a feeling of grief and great loss came over him. At that moment, the story appeared in his mind, a complete story, not a notion or idea for a story. Years later, he commits this experience to writing. The initial story remains intact, save the addition of a few characters to help tell the tale and the fleshing out of the main ones.

None of this seems strange to him, Julius says, since he has experienced strange things all his life. Although Widow's Leap can be considered a light romance, he also writes under the pseudonym of Dwayne Keegan for his darker stories. This is where it gets weird ....

A friend asked him if he would write a vampire novel, so he pulled out an old plot that went nowhere, just notes he scribbled down a year prior. When he reviewed the pages, it happened again: An entire story exploded in his mind. He wrote everything he saw and heard and realized that this story will run about three books or more. However, this wasn't the weird part; Julius had two of the minor characters approach him and ask for bigger roles. It felt a little strange at first, he remembers, but the one character moved herself into center stage and completed the dynamics of the first book of this trilogy.

The funniest incident happened while he was walking in his "mind's movie set," where he noticed a pile of rags. Before he could ask why they where there, he chuckles, a lady pops her head from beneath the pile and asks to be in the story. Naturally, he was thrilled and included her.

His friends really freaked out, when a coworker with "the gift" inquired about a lady and what connection she had with him. She described the rag lady in detail and said, "She could only see her from the neck up and she wore a bunch of blankets." Julius informed her that was Margo, a character in his book. He inquired why she should ask or even knew about her. His coworker replied, "Because she is here standing next to you. She has been here for some time now, hovering around us." Julius thought this experience was exciting and wonderful; his friends disagreed as they tried to rub away their goose bumps ....

Widow's Leap (Bookworm Publishing; ISBN 978-1-60264-310-9; $22.95; hardcover) will be available early March of 2009. More info at http://www.jljulius.com

Dimension Data Launches Free eBook Showcasing eProcurement Best Practices for a Cost-Effective Green Purchasing Program

Company Also Unveils First Online Calculator to Quantify the Overall Environmental Benefits of the eProcurement Process

NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Dimension Data, a $4.5 billion IT solutions and services provider, today announced the launch of an eBook intended to help organizations of all sizes bridge the gap between environmentally sustainable procurement practices and cost containment. Titled Overcoming the Challenges of Green Procurement Through eProcurement, the free online eBook highlights nine eProcurement best practices designed to help organizations implement and manage green purchasing programs, reduce environmental waste and control costs.

Along with the eBook, Dimension Data is also launching a free online green procurement calculator - the first calculator to quantify the overall environmental benefits of the eProcurement process for a given organization. The calculator allows users to enter in the average number of requisitions and purchase orders processed each month and then calculate the environmental benefits -- in terms of paper, energy, carbon emissions and more -- that could be realized by switching to a paperless eProcurement process.

"An increasing number of organizations are examining ways to factor environmental criteria into their buying decisions," said Ettienne Reinecke, CTO of Dimension Data. "However, in today's economic climate, organizations face the added challenge of balancing sustainable purchasing with cost savings. Our eBook outlines nine tested and proven best practices that will help organizations implement and manage green procurement programs, while simultaneously achieving the cost and efficiency savings that have long been associated with eProcurement.

"The benefits of a well-planned and executed eProcurement program can be significant. Consider this: The production of just one ream of paper uses 6% of a tree, 27.8 kilowatt-hours of energy, 6.4 kilograms of greenhouse gas, 180 liters of water waste and 2.6 kilograms of solid waste - and that's without printing or faxing. To fax or print requires an additional 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity and 5 kilograms of carbon emissions. Over the course of a year, this adds up to an alarming amount of unnecessary paper consumption and carbon emissions."

The nine best practices highlighted in Dimension Data's eBook each map to at least one of four green procurement program enablers: knowledge transfer and training, selection and control of suppliers (enforcing green suppliers), measurement and compliance, and a paperless workflow. The eBook also provides tips for organizations without existing eProcurement programs on how they can still leverage the same best practices and assist their green procurement implementation. In addition, the eBook outlines the important criteria to look for when choosing vendors and suppliers.

Overcoming the Challenges of Green Procurement Through eProcurement and the green calculator can be obtained by visiting http://www.dimensiondata.com/Services/eProcurement/GreenProcurement.htm

Joy Berry's Five Musts for Raising Responsible Children

NEW YORK, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Joy Berry, the highly successful, pioneering educator and child development specialist says that if you follow the "Five Musts for Raising Responsible Children" you have armed your children for life. With more than 250 titles and 85 million copies of her living skills books sold, Joy Berry's message has always been the same: Help children help themselves so they can become responsible for their own lives.

Joy Berry's five musts for raising responsible children are:

• Parents need to begin transferring control to their children on day two of their lives.
• A child's happiness and success belong to the child, not to his or her parents.
• It is essential that parents empower their child with the proper living skills.
• Never use punishment with children; it doesn't work.
• One of the most important goals for a parent is to have their child 100% responsible for making their own decisions by age 12.

Joy Berry's tried and true approach to raising responsible children is focused on helping parents and directing children in the right direction. "Formal education cannot do it all. As parents we must help our children become independent," says Joy Berry. "As children become teenagers, they begin to pull away from their parents and want to begin living their own lives. It is imperative that several years before a child leaves the home, that they are fully responsible and are making good decisions. Following these basic steps can really provide children the tools they need for making all the right choices."

Bersin & Associates' Impact Measurement Framework Incorporated into KnowledgeAdvisors' Metrics That Matter(R)

OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Bersin & Associates, the only research and advisory firm focused on enterprise learning and talent management, announced today that its Impact Measurement Framework(TM) is now supported by KnowledgeAdvisors' Metrics That Matter, a web-based talent & performance evaluation and analytics system that allows users to cost- effectively measure the impact of learning processes and improve performance.

The Impact Measurement Framework is the centerpiece of Josh Bersin's The Training Measurement Book (http://www.bersin.com/Store/Details.aspx?docid=10337118&books=1), published in 2008 and recently recognized by Amazon.com as one of its top 10 business books in 2008. The framework offers a roadmap and set of methodologies for implementing a practical, business-based measurement program for corporate learning. The framework covers nine critical measurement areas: learner satisfaction, learning outcomes, program adoption, program utility, program efficiency, business alignment, attainment of customer objectives, individual performance improvement, and organizational performance improvement.

KnowledgeAdvisors' Metrics That Matter system will offer organizations technology support for implementing this framework and for ongoing measurement and analysis.

"While most executives recognize the importance of measuring corporate learning, fewer than 20% of all organizations have end-to-end measurement programs in place," said President Josh Bersin, who will also be joining KnowledgeAdvisors' advisory board. "Practitioners are typically frustrated by a lack of efficient and easy-to-use methodologies and measurement tools and minimal -- if any -- executive support. The Impact Measurement Framework offers a practical way to implement a training measurement program that yields information relevant to the business. Metrics That Matter will help organizations put the framework into action."

According to Bob Danna, executive vice president of strategic services for Bersin & Associates, the Metrics That Matter system will complement the company's strategic services offerings which help organizations implement learning and talent measurement strategies. Bersin & Associates measurement services assist organizations in building a comprehensive, business-focused measurement strategy, including assessment of measurement needs and system resources, identification and prioritization of critical measures, building cross-organizational support, and creation of an implementation plan.

"Metrics That Matter is an excellent option for those organizations that need a system to support their measurement strategy," said Danna.

"We are proud to be working with Bersin & Associates. They share our objective approach and our emphasis on business relevance and practicality," said Kent D. Barnett, founder and CEO of KnowledgeAdvisors.

Bersin will deliver a keynote presentation on learning and talent analytics at KnowledgeAdvisors' Analytics Symposium on Wednesday, March 4, at the Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa in Tucson, AZ.
