From http://www.atlasshruggedpart1.com/about#synopsis: Atlas Shrugged Movie: Part I Film Synopsis Dagny Taggart (Taylor Schilling) runs Taggart Transcontinental, the largest remaining railroad company in America, with intelligence, courage and integrity, despite the systematic disappearance of her best and most competent workers. She is drawn to industrialist Henry Rearden (Grant Bowler), one of the few men whose genius and commitment to his own ideas match her own. Rearden's super-strength metal alloy, Rearden Metal, holds the promise that innovation can overcome the slide into anarchy. Using the untested Rearden Metal, they rebuild the critical Taggart rail line in Colorado and pave the way for oil titan Ellis Wyatt (Graham Beckel) to feed the flame of a new American Renaissance. Hope rises again, when Dagny and Rearden discover the design of a revolutionary motor based on static electricity - in an abandoned engine factory - more proof to the sinister theory that the "men of the mind" (thinkers, industrialists, scientists, artists, and other innovators) are "on strike" and vanishing from society.

Tom Woods recently released "Rollback" and it details how to undo the damage that politicians have done to our economy. From Regnery's site: In Rollback you'll learn: Why practically everything you've been taught about government and the economy is wrong—the product of liberal pro-government propaganda Why a Balanced Budget Amendment will not solve America's debt problem Why Federal bankruptcy may be one of the best things that could happen to America Why ending the Federal Reserve is not a crazy fringe idea How current policies, if unchecked, will lead to the collapse of the dollar—and China's emergence as the new global super-power Shocking and controversial, Rollback shows how we can overhaul our out-of-control government and why we must insist on it.

From Dan's site: Pentagon Prayer - The Story of a Survivor of September 11, 2001 by Dan Holdridge - Book officially released on September 11, 2010 - An Amazon.com Best Seller “A cigarette and a clipboard saved my life” begins Dan’s book, Pentagon Prayer.

Pentagon Prayer is a journey through surviving our nation’s worst tragedy while learning the beauty of life. Dan challenges his readers to appreciate the life they are living right now, and to appreciate the people around them for the contributions made. This book defies the status quo by claiming that real success is found by living in humility while giving gratitude. Today 18.8 million people live depressed, terrified by the economy and desperately seeking external answers to “Why am I here?” As we allow others to define us, we fail to find ourselves. Pentagon Prayer draws on the incredible power of gratitude and connects it between ourselves, and those we know, to help us manifest our purpose.

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/everydayradio/2011/03/02/noted-author-and-columnist-jackie-gingrich-cushman-live-9-pm-et-on-tuesday-march-1-jackiecushman From Amazon: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN AMERICAN? In The Essential American: 25 Documents and Speeches Every American Should Own, Jackie Gingrich Cushman has compiled a guide to the great documents and speeches that have stood as beacons to successive generations, expressing what it is to be an American. Starting with the crucial documents of our founding, Cushman introduces and explores each speech and document in its historical context, explaining why it belongs in the American canon. Some—like General Douglas MacArthur’s immortal “Duty, Honor, Country” speech or Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address—were obvious selections. Others are less well-known, like Captain Mosley Baker’s speech at San Jacinto, which urged Texans fighting for their lives to “Remember the Alamo!” The Essential American: 25 Documents and Speeches Every American Should Own highlights different aspects of America’s character. Reflections on America’s origins, like Calvin Coolidge’s “Inspiration of the Declaration of Independence” and Daniel Webster’s “Discourse, Delivered at Plymouth” were delivered in times of peace and prosperity. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s “Order of the Day” on D–Day, FDR’s address to Congress after Pearl Harbor was attacked, and President George W. Bush’s speech after 9/11 were the powerful responses of leadership to the crises of the hour." Please visit www.blogtalkradio.com/everydayRADIO for all show archives.

From SB Nation: Mycal Jones was drafted by the Braves in the fourth round in 2009 out of junior college. Despite being a college product, he was drafted as a raw infielder with great athleticism. That showed in his first full season in 2010. Jones struggled at the beginning of the season, but a big turnaround in May sparked what became a good year for him. His numbers at A- Rome are a product of his early slump, but the tear promoted him to A+ Myrtle Beach, not to mention he needed to be on the move at 23 years old. He had the most plate appearances at the Beach, where his numbers continued to improve all around, especially his on-base stats. A .361 wOBA and 122 wRC+ is great to see for Jones. He earned a promotion to AA Mississippi for the last week of the season, where he will return to begin 2011. Jones' numbers spell out a raw hitter with decent on-base ability, decent zone discipline, a little more pop that you'd expect and smart base stealing ability. He will never have great walk rates and may strike out more than you'd like to see, but he keeps the on-base and power numbers respectable. Whether that will continue in the upper levels remains to be seen. Jones is very raw on defense, showing good range but shaky motions and hands, resulting in a lot of errors. These things are fairly easy to improve on with time, and Jones is in the process of learning second base to further his development and time. Giving him the chance to learn a new position will only help his defense. With time, Jones should become a good defensive infielder, but not great. Jones relies on his athleticism to further his development. His raw ability on offense and defense takes time to adjust, and it will only be tougher for him in AA. At 24 years old this season, he doesn't have a ton of time to toil between AA and AAA. If he can adjust quickly, there's no reason he can't be a candidate for a utility role by 2012. But there is a chance he could get stuck. Three Things to Look For in 2011: 1) AA Jump 2) Defense 3) OBP Destination in 2011: All at AA; chance of late promotion to AAA ETA: 2012 Ceiling: Starting 2B or SS My Prediction: Starting 2B for a few years; Utility Infielder the rest To find out more about Mycal Jones or to track his progress please visit: http://www.talkingchop.com/2010/7/8/1557849/interview-with-braves-shortstop http://twitter.com/mykejones21 http://atlanta.sbnation.com/atlanta-braves/2011/1/5/1916134/atlanta-braves-top-30-prospects-no-14-mycal-jones
