Yes or No Quiz.......2004-01-08
Question #1 - You are asked to go out on a date with someone that you find unattractive and do not wish to go out with them. You should not just tell them No, but also tell them that you are seeing someone else to show "mercy" on them? Yes or No (The book refers to this as a "face savings" technique.)
Question #2 - Your 6 year old child likes chocolate covered cereal, but you want them to eat something more nutritious. When at the grocery store with your child you should avoid the cereal isle and come back to get cereal another time, thus avoiding the need to say no? Yes or No (The book refers to this as a "prevention" technique.)
If you answered Yes to either question, you will probably agree with the suggestions in this book. However, you are lacking a moral compass and/or are so spineless that a 6 year old can walk all over you. Face the fact that there probably isn't any book that will help you, and this one will only continue to feed your lack of character and self confidence.
If you answered No to both questions, you know more about "saying no" than you can get from this book. Buying this book would only infuriate you as it is filled with excuses, trickery and deceptions. All of which lead to the guilt that the book is supposed to help you avoid.

Mr. Paur is not a professor of child development, what he is is a man whose experience with children takes him out of the ivory tower of acedemia and places him square into the arena of battle over substance abuse; the streets, our schools, and our homes.

Inside the Sports Pages: Work Routines, Professional Ideologies, and the Manufacture of Sports News
Mark Douglas Lowes Manufacturer: University of Toronto Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0802081835 |
Book Description
Inside the Sports Pages explores the working world of contemporary sports journalism through the eyes of the reporters, editors, athletes and media-relations people who inhabit it.
In this first comprehensive study of the work routines and professional ideologies involved in the manufacture of sports news, Mark Douglas Lowes presents a detailed and richly textured ethnographic account of life on the sports desk at a major Canadian daily newspaper. His wide-ranging analysis considers the role of the 'audience commodity' in sports news production, the dynamics of the newsroom, and the complex relations between reporters and their routine sources on the sports beat. The book concludes with an assessment of the ideological nature of sports news, and argues that sports coverage functions primarily as a promotional vehicle for the North American 'major league' sports industry. It will be of interest to anyone concerned about how the media report sports news- and the way they leave some of it unreported.

Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports
Kate O'Beirne Manufacturer: Sentinel Trade ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1595230297 |
Book Description
Kate O'Beirne is fed up with women who make the world worse.Many of these women are public figures who use their notoriety in acting, pop music, television, or politics to spout unfounded bad ideas and harebrained schemes: Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg, Hillary Clinton, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maureen Dowd, and many more.
Kate O'Beirne captures the radical feminists in their own words, explains why they've got it all wrong, and shows why they have to be stoppedbefore they do even more damage to our schools, families, workplaces, and sports. BACKCOVER: Anyone still operating under the delusion that `feminist' is synonymous with `pro-woman' should find this [book] a useful reality check.
The Wall Street Journal
Thank you, Kate O'Beirne! With wit and smarts she drives a stake through the heart of radical feminism, naming names, and takes down the modern sisterhood in a fearless, funny, and factual way. And it's long overdue. Know your enemy. Buy this gutsy book!
Rush Limbaugh
What a romp of a book. Funny and smart and typical of the shrewd, informed analysis we relish from Kate O'Beirne.
Peggy Noonan, author of John Paul the Great
Once again, Kate O'Beirne's insights on politics and the culture make us think, laugh, and stand up and cheer. Rolling back the influence of the false prophets of feminism and `grrrrrl power' takes facts, passion, and intellectall of which we find in this important book.
Laura Ingraham, author of Shut Up & Sing
Some women protest,`I'm a feminist, just not a radical feminist.' Kate O'Beirne is impatient with such qualifications. She is not any kind of feminist, and when you finish her sparkling new book, Women Who Make the World Worse, you won't be one either.
Mona Charen, syndicated columnist
Women Who Make the World Worse is, to be sure, an entertaining, often humorous exposé of the modernist feminist movement, but at the same time, it's a sober wake-up call.
David Limbaugh, syndicated columnist
O'Beirne brings wit and common sense to bear on the weird and rancorous world of orthodox feminism
she has written a rousing, scintillating, and badly needed book.

Labor Standards in the United States and Canada
Richard N. Block , Karen Roberts , and Ronald O. Clarke Manufacturer: W. E. Upjohn Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0880992352 |
Book Description
Labor standards and how they relate to international trade are often the subject of contentious discussions. Many argue that nations with higher standards find themselves at a competitive disadvantage against nations with lower standards. Until now there has been no way to quantify this assertion; an empirical gap existed on the relationship between labor standards and trade due to the absence of measures for labor standards that could be applied internationally.Block and Roberts remedy this situation by offering a method for comparing labor standards across political jurisdictions. They then apply this method to the United States and Canada, an exercise that allows them to settle the long-running dispute over whether or not Canada has higher standards than the United States, and if so, to what degree.
In addition, this book is associated with a Web site that makes available the data used to measure the labor standards in the two countries. Visitors may alter the weightings given to various standards by the authors to do their own analyses on trade and trade-related phenomena across multiple jurisdictions.
