About the Author
Sylvia Brody, Ph.D., a distinguished psychoanalyst and developmental researcher, came to prominence with her books documenting her observational, clinical, and theoretical studies on maternal behavior and child development. Among her contributions are Patterns of Mothering (1956), Anxiety and Ego Formation in Infancy (1970), Mothers, Fathers, and Children: Explorations in the Formation of Character in the First Seven Years (1978), and Evolution of Character (1992), a follow-up study of the sample at eighteen years, as well as some thirty papers about infancy and early childhood. This body of work has served to demonstrate vividly the significance of the child’s earliest experiences on their emerging character structure and ego and superego functioning. In 2002, Dr. Brody published The Development of Anorexia Nervosa; and in 2007 a revised edition of the same book was released.

THE POWER AND MIRACLE OF PRAYER: Jesus Teaches About Praying: Humility & Repentance (Luke 18: 9-14)

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 27, 2009 – www.freedomjournalpress.com

carlapatton@comcast.net


In the name of God Master, of the Universe, Ruler of the earth
Editors Note: I pray not for self but for all of humankind as I call out the name of self as a willing and humble servant. In an earnest and humble posture we seek repentance from sin for this is the way to Peace and Paradise.


Greetings Brethren,
Peace be unto you. To the Church and believing Christians everywhere. To those that believe in the Bible as the supreme authority that governs all of humankind. In this we give thanks to God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit that leads and guides us the straightway.
As we continue in the 18th Division of Luke we now note the parable by Jesus of the two men who prayed. These men came to prayer in repentance and humility. Meanwhile some have come to prayer with a pompous attitude that is not pleasing to God.
Luke 18: 9: “And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:”

These people “trusted in themselves” because they considered themselves to be righteous as they boasted about their great deeds. Meanwhile they came to despise others who could not boast of the great things they had done.  Now follow us over to Romans for an additional scripture reference on this point.
Romans 14: 10: In this Chapter the Apostle Paul teaches the brethren about weak and strong believers. Strong believers do not boast and put down other believers nor do they come with malice toward the nonbelievers. However we hate sin. “But why dost thou judge thou brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we all shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ.”
10: “Two men went up in the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.”

The two men although of different perspectives were both acting normal as they went into the temple to pray. (See Isaiah 56:7 and Matthew 21: 13 for more on this thought).
11: “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.”(The outward actions of the Jews are noted at Isaiah 58: 2 also see Matthew 6: 5).  Now follow us to Revelation for a powerful scripture reference on the main points in verse 11.
Revelation 3: 17: Here John writes about the church that was lukewarm. “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:”

John the writer here in this verse attempts to show us just how much a church can become deceived about its real condition. This can also happen to an individual. Temporal things are just temporary. Meanwhile we see that often material possessions can mis-lead the church or an individual into thinking they are independent or self-sufficient. There is nothing wrong with independence and doing for self. However when one thinks they don’t need God and Christ there is a problem.
12: “I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.”

Verses 11 and 12 reveal the prayer of the Pharisee. Here he did not include a single request from God. Even if his claims were true his prayer is still not acceptable to God. Because he only boasts about his great deeds. Prayer is not the place for boasting. It is written that God already knows of all of our deeds. Thus we need not remind God of these things. But making requests in faith are honorable in prayer.
13: “And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.” (Also see Psalms 40: 12 also see Acts 3:1 where we see a further indication of the many people in the temple during the hour of prayer).

Meanwhile the publican in modesty stood away from the crowd. He realizes the feelings the Pharisees had for his people. However he classed himself with the sinners and prayed for mercy.


14: “I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for everyone that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” (Also see James 4: 6 and I Peter 5: 5-6).

Those that are justified humble themselves to God. Therefore if the publican was not justified no one in the verse was exalted. Follow us over to Job for an additional thought on those that humble themselves before the Lord.
Job 22: 29: “When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.”

The acknowledgement of sins in verses 24-30  renders a blessing from God. We thus are taught to confess our sins in prayer and remain humble in prayer thus pleasing God.
At Matthew 23: 12 we see another scripture that relates to our discussion. We also note that a similar scriptural passage is found at Luke 14: 11. “And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”

Those that strive for humility and to serve others as we come this way  realize that service and  work for the Lord is honorable. Meanwhile those that strive and desire the things of the world will be brought down by the Lord. Thus those that humble themselves will get a blessing. We look to God in adoration and supplication confessing our sins in reverence and in faith.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Fourteen-year-old Daisy Mae Herman has never known life outside her impoverished inner city Chicago neighborhood. Kalyn McKenzie is a sheltered only child in the middle class, mostly white part of town known as Westlake. Now, these two diametrically opposed worlds will intersect when the Herman family moves into the neighborhood where blacks are still a rarity—and cause for alarm.
Frank, compassionate and inspiring, All My Friends Have Dark Brown Eyes examines a shifting American racial landscape and the lives of those caught up in it. For Daisy, leaving her Chicago ghetto means turning her back on a comfortable cocoon—even if it’s defined by a lack of opportunities—for an alien world where she is daily reminded of her outsider status. Meanwhile, Kalyn’s seemingly ideal upbringing belies a way of life that’s eternally fearful of the unknown, as she is urged to avoid any contact with her new neighbor. Then a crisis erupts, putting something else ahead of stereotypes: survival.
As Daisy and Kalyn navigate the racial divide that separates them, their lives will intertwine in unexpected ways, leading to explosive events that rock each family to the core. And neither is prepared for the end result…

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 25, 2009 – Denver, CO and Kennesaw, GA - Outskirts Press, Inc. has published  Holy Gatherings: A Leader's Guide for Engaging the Congregation in Corporate Worship  by Michael Sharp and Argile Smith, which is the author's most recent book to date.

About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
From Dr. Jon Duncan, Music and Worship Specialist, Georgia Baptist Convention, Atlanta, Georgia:
Holy Gatherings is an effective worship education tool that should be on the shelf of every serious worship planner-leader.  There are plenty of theological and theoretical discourses on the subject of worship. This work stands apart as it not only deals effectively with the “why” of worship; it serves well as a “how to” field manual that never erodes biblical footing. The result is a relevant work which will strengthen and deepen worship engagement among God’s people.
From Ron Willoughby, Lecturer in Contemporary Christian Studies, Cliff College, University of Manchester, UK:
Finally! A clear, accessible primer on worship leadership. This book rescues worship leadership from the trap of performance-based crowd pleasing and the clutches of sterile worship models. Do yourself a favor: buy this book. Read it. Highlight it. Put it into practice.
From Dirce Cooper, International Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention,Worship Leadership Training, CUBA:
Beginning with a solid foundation of a biblical understanding of worship, the authors offer practical steps to the designing and leading of corporate worship. Throughout the pathway, probing questions engage the reader in the pursuit of transformative worship. The combined experiences and distinct perspectives of a skillful musician/worship leader and a seasoned theologian/pastor have resulted in a treasure of insights that will serve worship teams as well as serious worship students around the world.
From Graham Smith, Director of the Church Music Department, Mississippi Baptist Convention Board:
What a blessing to have Dr. Argile Smith and Dr. Michael Sharp combine their many gifts from our Lord, which blest by the Holy Spirit, give such synergy to this much needed book on the highest priority of the human spirit---the worship of our Creator-God! We have needed such a defining book among worshippers and worship leaders for some time. Here, by the grace of God, is a gift from Him to us through these two worshippers and worship leaders!
From Will McRaney, Ph.D, Director of Evangelism Strategy, Florida Baptist Convention:
As scholars, practitioners, and local churchmen, Argile Smith and Michael Sharp have served us well by providing a great resource to help us worship God and lead others to worship God in both spirit and truth. You will be both inspired and informed by the work of their vast collective experience.

A Vivid Horizon: I Wish Upon Land & Mountains

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 21, 2009 – www.freeedomjounralpress.com

caralpatton@comcast.net
My Beloved Brethren Peace be unto you. We still come with a report on the blind that run amuck throughout the land and country. We thank Almighty God the miracle worker who allows us to see across the room. We also see things deep near and far in the forest. We can also see many lands from the mountain top. However all can witness the miracle of sight if they might.(21 July 2009)


The speaker had become accustomed

to those that cast dark, grey ugly

shadows and wicked, tainted arrows

upon and against things they had not

concluded, confirmed are believed was

true.
A battle hardened solider found joy

in his agony, pain and times of weary

was a fact of the sojourn as his time

here ain’t long.
These feelings were no doubt to some the reflections

of a dream. However the dreamer knew

that these vivid dreams would come true.
Just what was dreamscape? There was

also dream world and dreamland. However

he escaped from nothing as man cast all

things to the dogs as they crucified everything

in sight.
Meanwhile there were undaunted visions

as the visionary souls prepared for the great

homegoing.
They saw the great times of old transcending

into the present as nothing was new. The future

then logically also made the transition.

The wise saw this great Triune. However the

foolish only saw today.

The Power And Miracle Of Prayer: Praying With A Clean & Pure Heart

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 19, 2009 – www.freedomjournalpress.com

carlapatton@comcast.net

In the name of God Master, of the Universe, Ruler of the earth
Writer’s Note: Beloved the Lord is merciful and His patience is for everlasting. However there are times among the saints when we need to wait. Pray in patience as we trust in the Lord. Let not your hearts be troubled as we believe in Him. We thus pray that our hearts your heart will come making sincere requests. The promise is written that God will hear a sincere prayer.  Therefore we pray to always petition the throne of God with a clean and pure heart. How do we do this?
Greetings Brethren,
Peace be unto you. To the Church and believing Christians everywhere. To those that believe in the Bible as the supreme authority that governs all of humankind. In this we give thanks to God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit that leads and guides us the straightway.
My beloved brethren there is power in prayer. So as we look to the Bible we are encouraged to continue our prayer life not ceasing in our petitions to God. This discussion on the heart is noted as a very important aspect or personal requirement of prayer. As you know as you grow in Truth the heart is very important and a center piece of our sojourn. God can see the heart however man can only look on the outside. Therefore if our heart is right we can reap salvation and be saved to life everlasting.
Also it is written that the heart which houses the Spirit is the only thing that the arisen saints can take with them as they come before the judgment and when the body stops life and breath as we know it on this side. The heart is wonderful. We also bear witness that as it moves in purity no one can exploit, mis-use or abuse the righteous at heart. Thus God will protect us from all harm and danger as we stay in prayer. Meanwhile our primary scripture reference for praying with a clean and pure heart is taken from Psalms 66. Our primary verses are 18 and 19 however box in this bracket of scripture with 17 and 20 and get a powerful message.
Psalms 66: 17-20: “I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue.”
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:”
“But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer.”
“Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.”
The first and second verse at the 66th Division of Psalms is a scriptural passage that most believers have often heard. “Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands:”

“Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious.”
Therefore brethren we should praise and honor God in so doing He will answer our prayers. So as we come to the Lord in prayer we come with a clean and pure heart. No one has a heart that is perfect and pure however we can come without dwelling on the world and the evils of society. Thus our thoughts our mind as we petition God should be on Jesus and His goodness, peace and love.
As we speak the mouth and tongue are used. Therefore there is a variety in our use of the language to express our desires to the Lord. So as we express our needs we must have a heart free of iniquity and things that are evil and wicked. The Lord will not hear the prayers of those that are filled with hate and things that contradict love and compassion for all of God’s people.  At verse 19 we see that David was not guilty of iniquity.  God heard and granted his prayer. The blessings of God are seen in the knowledge that He was the source of David’s blessings.  God moved in mercy in times of trouble for David and He will move in this mode for all that come to Him with a clean and pure heart.
Also a good cross reference to verse 18 is Psalms 18: 41: “They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.”
Also verse 19 is benefited by a cross reference found at Psalms 116: 1-2: “I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.”
“Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.”
Brethren it is for sure that the Lord will hear the voice of the clean and pure heart. Here He heard David and He granted His requests. This favor of course produced a great love of God.  This favor led to David calling upon God again. He was encouraged in his love and the mercy of God. The Lord thus lent a favorable ear unto David as he prayed. David as do believer’s today call upon the Lord everyday they liveth.

Public Relations and Reputation Management

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 06, 2009 – Public Relations is nothing but a free form of advertising; however, once you start concentrating in public or media relations, you will easily understand that it is not at all free – you have to pay for this.
In advertising you speak and your audience listens to you. In media or public relations, the public speaks for the public. Now, it entirely depends upon the public what they want to say about you, your product, your service or your organization. Their negative feedback damages your reputation and positive feedback establishes your goodwill.
However, by spreading positive news about your company, by maintaining a steady and good relationship with the media persons and your public, you can actually influence public opinion. But, it is easier said than done! Only media relations experts can help you manage your reputation and build up a positive relationship with the public.
For example, when you launch a new product, you may run a PR campaign to create a buzz about the item. Once the media starts talking about your product, newspapers, audio-visual media and internet starts reviewing it, you will get a huge exposure without spending a dime. This can be achieved by preparing a solid public relations plan while launching the product.
You can prepare a press release and send it out to the journalists with the intention that they would review it. When a journalist writes about your product in a popular column or a web reporter publishes a review on a website, you get a huge amount of targeted traffic overnight.
While preparing the press release, you should follow standard Press Release Tips to make the write up attractive and engaging. The summary, title and introduction must be powerful enough to retain the readers and compel them to spread the words about it. Professional public relations consultants can guide you on how to write target-oriented press releases.
Apart from this, PR consultants also help in reputation management. They prepare the right plan to minimize the effects of negative comments about your products or services. Any news or comment spreads very fast on the internet. Once you hire a PR consultant for reputation management service, they monitor the web on your behalf. If any negative feedback pops up, they address the issue immediately so that it cannot spread like wildfire.
If you really want to establish goodwill in the market, you have to manage the media and the public. Take help from professionals to make the best use of the process.

Selective Solitude: Who Can See The Rain?

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 05, 2009 – SELECTIVE SOLITUDE
My Beloved Brethren Peace be unto you. There was once a man who sat upright in a crowd. There he saw many things however his head was tired as he strained to see. Meanwhile the noise bothered his soul as he tried to see back, now and tomorrow as yesterday passed him and he lost it straining over the crowd. Meanwhile the tall oak tree begged him to sit down and mediate in solitude a while. This he could not resist as the people had gone. His head was free and his eyes were not tired. Nor was his mind filled with the distractions of man as the human element gave way to the Creation and the inspirations from within. Glory to God.
All great thinkers chose to remain aloof from

the common plan and things normal. Somehow

they just failed to fret over things the world claimed.

Nor did they give great thought as to why.
To them most of what the world called normal

was an abnormal reality that was real as the

day and nights in which they lived. No one was

mad except the multitudes that frowned on Truth.
They cared little for the sweet things material that

the world carried up in lust. As what they needed

was quite simple and all the rest was too heavy. Why

rush for diamonds and pearls while food was wasted?
These times were also not as silent as the outsiders

thought. I saw John talking with the birds and having

counsel with the fleeing rabbits and squirrels. He also

saw the light of the moon as more than just romantic

dreams.
No one called me out at night. I found my own

place there I sat and was never alone although many

of the world saw no one but me. But who could

capture solitude alone?

At eatricious, Cookbook Authors Get Exposure

PRLog (Press Release) – Jul 01, 2009 – It's no secret that the Web is a great place to market yourself, especially if you are a budding author.  In an online world, however, authors are not taking full advantage of their resources.  Authors typically rely on their own social media profiles, self-publishing sites, their own blogs and maybe some online PR sites to market themselves.
Another option is to find online companies with targeted audiences and partner with them.  Doing so takes a lot of the organic traffic generation grunt work off of the author's plate because such companies already have an audience that is interested in topics about which the author writes.  The downside is that the right companies with the right audience may be tough to find.  There are many forms a partnership of this sort can take; targeted ad exchange, blog post exchange, content exchange, expertise/knowledge transfer, etc.  Healthy living start-up, eatricious, takes it to the next level.
eatricious has built a promotional platform for cookbook authors directly into its site.  Authors with quality, healthy recipes can manage them in their eatricious account and publish them on http://www.eatricious.com for healthy lifestyle seekers to browse.  Site users can visit the author's profile page if they want to know more about that author.  Cookbook authors can choose which recipes to publish on the site and which to keep for their cookbooks.  In their profiles, authors can promote their cookbooks and their websites, a great proposition since it will be marketed to a targeted group of healthy eaters.  In fact, the better the recipes, the more promotion the author gets.  Each recipe has a rating based loosely on convenience, health, nutrition, community voting and other factors.  If an author's recipe is very highly rated the author has a better chance of being "found" on the site.  This feature is available to anyone who wants to publish healthy recipes, but the rating ensures that the real professionals shine.  
Targeted sites such as eatricious may be great, alternative outlets for self-published authors.  For more information, visit http://www.eatricious.com.

Author releases book about his career in the fishing industry – Trawlers and Trawler Folk

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 20, 2009 – Ernest's second book follows on from the story told in St Vincent’s Home Boys. It traces his adventures in the Humber fishing fleet between the wars.

Following family tradition Ernest signed up on a trawler bound for Icelandic waters. Thus his career in the fishing industry began by working from the city of Kingston upon Hull in several vessels such as the Thomas Hardy and the Cape Barfleur. Enduring the hardships of year-round deep sea fishing in the North Sea and off Iceland and Greenland, Ernest developed a deep love of the sea and the natural beauties around him, while observing with wry humour the human stories and characters of his crew-mates. This book also describes the profound changes in the fishing industry that took place during Ernest’s years at sea.

International Contact Featured On Comcast Newsmakers

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 16, 2009 – As the country struggles to recover from the economic downturn, government agencies and corporations seek to assist consumers in dealing with the difficulties they face. Many of those most affected, unaware that free trustworthy resources are available, are fleeced by scam artists who prey upon those who turn to them in desperation.
To warn consumers against further losses and inform them about the availability of free, trustworthy help, government agencies and other organizations that provide these services turn to International Contact to translate the information into over 100 languages.
Comcast Newsmakers invited Norma Armon and Carla Itzkowich from International Contact, Inc. to discuss what free resources available in various languages in this one-take public access spot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukow598Scxc&layer_token=f ...

The 5 minute spot ran in the Bay Area during the month of May and produced some calls from consumers who saw it and wanted information on opening a bank account or getting energy-efficient appliances.
Currently International Contact is helping the Unity Council provide foreclosure prevention and support seminars to English and Spanish speakers; the City of Richmond has just launched a new foreclosure assistance web site that is available in Spanish. Health research for Action at UC Berkeley is creating Medi-Cal handbooks in 10 languages to help the elderly and PG&E has language assistance in 6 languages for their Energy partners program.
Should your resource be listed on their “Resource Link” page?

To help direct the traffic generated by their appearance and since they do not provide the assistance directly, International Contact has started a resource page: http://www.intlcontact.com/pages/resource.html
"Although it isn't much yet," says Norma Armon, "it could become truly helpful as we promote it to all our clients and anyone who offers valuable low cost or free services to help people."
International Contact, Inc.  encourages anyone who fits that profile to contact them.

American shock-jock Savage Appoints PHA Media

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 16, 2009 – PHA Media has been appointed to handle the PR for American shock-jock, Michael Savage.  

Savage has been banned from entering the UK by Labour Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith who claims that he incites violence and hatred in-line with his ‘extremist’ views.  

The DJ was quickly slapped with a ban from entering the country and joins the likes of Jewish Militant Mike Guzovsky, Russian Skin-head gang leader Artur Ryno and American Baptist pastor Fred Waldron Phelps.

Michael Savage was stunned by the Home Office decision and now plans to sue for defamation.  PHA Media are working alongside Savage’s law team, Olswang LLP, who believe they have a strong case to over-turn the ban.

Savage has never sought entry to the UK nor did he have any plans to visit.  London Mayor Boris Johnson was staggered by Jacqui Smith’s decision and has spoken out in defence of the American DJ: “It is shocking that not a single MP has stood up to defend free speech”.

Michael Savage, who until recently was relatively unknown in the UK, hosts The Savage Nation, which is the third most popular show in America.  

London PR Agency, PHA Media are Reputation Management specialists and are excited to be working with such a formidable man.  

Phil Taylor, a Senior Consultant at PHA Media said: “Michael has asked us to help in any way we can in order to get the ban removed.  We have already managed to put his case to the national press and the BBC and as a result, Michael has received over-whelming support from the British public”.

For any press enquiries in relation to this campaign please contact Phil Taylor at PHA Media:

“We are very proud of our ability to continue to stay relevant and be a thought leader in our industry after thirty years in print,” says Carlos Guzman, President of TheFlyer.com. “Our longevity and brand recognition in the shopping publication space are second to none, and we are always striving to do better and do more to bring local buyers and sellers together, in print and online. We are honored to be recognized for these awards by our peers.”

The CPF’s members are owners, publishers, general managers and sales managers of free-circulation community newspapers and shoppers throughout the state of Florida.

Membership ranges from small, independently-owned publications with circulations under 5,000, to free paper/shopping guide divisions of major communications companies publishing hundreds of thousands of copies weekly. The common denominator among members is that each publication is distributed free of charge to the market it serves.

The print version of TheFlyer.com has published continuously in Florida since 1977. The print version of PennySaverUSA.com has published continuously in California since 1962. It is sent via direct mail to more than 60% of addresses in California weekly and has more adult readers than any other print publication in the state.  TheFlyer.com and PennySaverUSA.com Web sites include classified listings of the print publications in a variety of popular reader categories, including garage sales, pets, used and new cars, and real estate, as well as thousands of coupons and deals for restaurants and events. The Web sites are supplemented by local advertising listings nationwide. Other publications outside of California that carry the "PennySaver" name are not Harte-Hanks-owned assets.

Crime Novelist, Caregiver Put God, Mother Teresa, and Humor Into New Cancer Book

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 08, 2009 – Fort Worth, TX – Cancer survivor, healthcare provider, and budding crime novelist Howard F. Clarke, at the request of his wife, diverted from a planned Christian thriller and instead developed a book aimed at the newly diagnosed cancer patient.  But, in return, he insisted his wife—Howard’s caregiver during his recent fight with non-Hodgkin’s  Lymphoma—include her journal writings to offer the reader differing viewpoints of the same experience.
“With cancer directly affecting one-in-three of us,” Howard said, “there are a lot of concerns, fears, and misunderstandings about what the fight against cancer entails…especially the whole chemotherapy thing.  I read the touching memoirs, recently, of others who succumbed to cancer, one a journalist and the other a professor and, while their stories were meaningful and left a legacy to their families, they were legacies devoid of an after-life certainty or a here-and-now faith in God.  It reflects a sad drifting away from faith common to our society.   Leaving God out of a cancer struggle…well, that’s a tough road to travel.  I recommend a different approach.”
But, as he points out in the new book, “WHEN CANCER COMES YOUR WAY: A COUPLE’S GUIDE TO FINDING HOPE & KEEPING THE FAITH,” even Mother Theresa struggled with her faith.  “In the book, I talk about these things and how even Mother Theresa felt she was alone, but nevertheless, she pressed on.”  He goes on, in the book, to describe what has been described as the “dark night of the soul,” and ties this to how the cancer patient may feel when things get tough.
Beverley Clarke, the book’s co-author, describes her role as caregiver and offers both inspirational and very practical guides to cancer coping.  Each chapter has a type of “helpful” tips section and there are appendices referring the patient to useful resources, but the mainstay of the book is a journey through cancer told simultaneously from the patient viewpoint and from the journal of the caregiver in frank and touching terms.
“My detective novel (to be released later this year) took a back seat to this project—and for good reason.  Cancer is the modern plague, affecting just about everyone I talk to, and perhaps this book will help folks out there.  My novel can wait.  Cancer doesn’t wait for anyone.”
For more information and to order the just-released book, “WHEN CANCER COMES YOUR WAY,” go to the author’s publishing page, https://www.createspace.com/3362214, his personal web site: http://www.howardfclarke.com, or check with Amazon.com in the next few weeks for the official release.

Extending Publishing Systems Through Scripting Adds To The Total Cost of Ownership

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 02, 2009 – The IT Enquirer (http://www.it-enquirer.com), a leading information resource for cross-channel publishers, announces the availability of a new free analysis on the scripting capabilities and costs of certain editorial workflow and publishing systems.
A lot of less performing publishing system vendors claim scripting isn't a big deal. They tell their customers it doesn't add much to the cost of the system as a whole.
"A lot of customers of editorial workflow systems were bitten by the cost of scripting, no matter what these vendors claim," said Erik Vlietinck at IT Enquirer. "It is not efficient, and it is a point solution. If you want to extend your system so it will integrate with a project management system installed at your enterprise, for example, the integration itself will only hold as long as both systems remain the same. If the project management system (even point updates can ruin an integration) or the publishing system is changed, a new expensive round of programming is required."
According to the author, systems that only can be extended to fit a publisher's needs by scripting or programming should be avoided.
Systems which allow functionality to be extended and expanded through built-in workflow and action tools are much more flexible and less costly to implement and run, concludes the IT Enquirer free analysis.
The analysis has recommendations for system buyers.
