U.S. Government Manufacturer: Progressive Management ProductGroup: Book Binding: CD-ROM ASIN: 1592480691 |
Book Description
This is a spectacular collection of federal documents and resources compiled from the complete contents of two of our popular CD-ROMs (ISBN 193182889X and ISBN 1592480373). It's a great value - purchased individually, these CD-ROMs would cost $49.90, so you save over 60% by purchasing this CD-ROM!FEDERAL GRANTS
Here is the OFFICIAL guide to Federal Grants and other assistance, produced by the Federal Government, with over 16,000 pages of loans, grants, surplus equipment, and training from 1482 agency programs worth $300 billion!
In addition to the comprehensive, extensively cross-referenced catalog of programs, there is information on developing and writing grant proposals and applying for federal assistance. It is produced by the General Services Administration, Office of Governmentwide Policy. Our reproduction is substantially less expensive than the printed version offered by the Government Printing Office at $63, and more convenient than the CFDA website. As the catalog itself says, "Get started today exploring the amazing world of grants and loans provided by the Federal Government!"
The "Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance" gives you access to a listing of all Federal programs available to State and local governments (including the District of Columbia); federally recognized Indian tribal governments; Territories (and possessions) of the United States; domestic public, quasi-public, and private profit and nonprofit organizations and institutions; specialized groups; and individuals. You can find assistance programs meeting your requirements and for which you are eligible. You can then contact the office that administers the program and find out how to apply.
Features of the catalog include:
September 11th: Assistance Programs relating to recovery/response and U.S. Government Resources for the events of September 11th * Types of Assistance * Applying for Federal Assistance * Developing and Writing Grant Proposals * Top 10% Program List * All Programs Listed Numerically * 2001 Formula Report * Historical Index
The catalog includes this "note for individuals": "Many individuals [expect] to find some way to apply for a grant or loan directly from the Federal Government. While there are a limited number of programs offering direct loans to individuals, most programs provide funds to state and local governments or other organization to manage the distribution of assistance according to local needs. For example, a VA or FHA loan comes from a financial institution such as a bank, credit union, or mortgage company, not directly from the Federal Government." e Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Please see the Table of Contents tab for a complete list of the agencies with programs included on this CD-ROM.

Pointless.......2004-07-10
do not buy.......2004-07-07
Disappointing.......2003-08-13
The information is voluminous so if you have a slow modem, there may be some value in purchasing the info on the CDROM for the sake of having it consolidated in one place. You will learn little new if you have already been to the websites.
Also, some of the links on the CDROM do not work properly. You open the page in Adobe Acrobat and receive and error message saying the page has to be opened in a browser. You open the page in a browser and you get a message saying the page has to be opened in Adobe Acrobat.
That kind of foolishness more or less sums up the value of the CDROM from my perspective.
big time-waster.......2003-05-11
If they had broken up the files and named them logically (instead of titles like A1, B1, etc.), and provided some kind of indexing application or document that would point you to specifically what you wanted, then, yes, it might be handy to have. Otherwise, go online, and find answers 100 times more quickly. This is a ridiculously poorly done CD-ROM in this day and age. Big waste of $, in my opinion. If you have a slower/older computer without much memory, you'd REALLY want to avoid this thing like the plague.
You can get this on line for free.......2003-05-05

Norway outside the European Union: Norway and European Integration from 1994 to 2004 (Europe and the Nation State)
Clive Archer Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415282799 |
Book Description
In November 1994 the Norwegian electorate rejected membership of the European Union. Since then the country has struggled to adapt a range of policies to fit in with those of the EU. This book provides the first all-round coverage of the relationship between the EU and its oil-rich northern neighbor and sets out the options open to Norway in the future.
Professor Archer examines the background to the 1994 decision both in terms of an expression of interests within Norway and in terms of national feeling. He then investigates the subsequent interaction between Norway and the EU through the European Economic Area (EEA) - which allowed Norway access to the EU's markets; the Schengen agreement - dealing with justice and border matters and the Common Foreign and Security Policy. It includes discussion of policies that have had a particular effect on Norway, such as those of the gas directive, fisheries and the sale of alcohol and looks at how Norway has adapted itself to EU policy, noting the cases where the country has dug in its heels and when it has been acquiescent.
This book will appeal to students and researchers with an interest in European integration and Nordic studies in general.

Who Wants to Be Me?
Bill Zehme , and Regis Philbin Manufacturer: Hyperion ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0786867396 Release Date: 2000-09-26 |
Book Description
Regis Philbin seems to have it all. He's the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, the most popular game show in television history. He already has a large fan base from his daytime talk show, Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. Thanks to these successes, he now has his own fashion line. And, he has two national bestsellers to his credit. So what could he have to complain about?Well, plenty. Now Regis Philbin, the king of curmudgeonly humor, has written an all-new book of side-splitting rants.
Regis provides the inside scoop on his ridiculously difficult life, with cantankerous takes on everything-and everyone-that drives him crazy. In addition, he reveals some of the funnier moments behind the scenes of his television shows, and his takes on travel, sports, and his legions of fans.
Whether it's skewering the producers of his morning talk show, or describing the travails of celebrity life today, in Who Wants to Be Me? you can be sure that Regis Philbin will tell it like it is.

Who Wants To Be Me?.......2001-04-28
Who Want's to be Me?.......2001-01-27
I like Regis, but I wanted to read something different from what we hear on his daily show.
Regis likes to RANT!.......2000-11-20
Judging by the style of the writing, I believe this book was written by Regis sitting down with a tape recorder and telling stories. If you like his stories on Live! you'll like this book. He tells of travel frustrations, chainsaw envy, celebrity troubles, and Millionaire success. The style of the writing is just like his speaking style: "I wanted a CHAINSAW! And no one took me SERIOUSLY!"
The book includes plenty of comments from Joy and the two Philbin daughters, excerpts from the Live! show, David Letterman Top Ten lists, etc. This is no War and Peace, but it's a good, fun read. Here's hoping it will give me some subjects to bounce off of Regis when I make it to that Millionaire seat.
Nothing here for trivia buffs.......2000-10-28
