WARNING: HOME CHEF AT WORK Fine dining at home with family and friends is one of life's true pleasures, yet the kitchen can be a dangerous place. Fire, electricity, heat, scalding hot water, smoke, sharp knives and culinary gizmos and gadgets all present dangers that would not go unnoticed in any environment other than the kitchen. Combined with wine and alcohol, it's no wonder that accidental kitchen fires are the #1 source of home fires and fire injuries, with cuts, burns, bruises and choking incidents the leading reasons for hospital emergency room visits. The Home Chef's Emergency Medical Guide is a useful kitchen companion for every home chef, whether he or she is toiling over a sizzling saute pan, wielding a razor-sharp Japanese chopping knife or blowtorching a creme brulee. While not a substitute for professional medical treatment, this is a first-line guide to prevention and emergency care amid the mayhem that often occurs preparing a fine meal at home.

Something stinks at the lush, swanky, exclusive Palmetto Golf Country Club and it's not the quality of the golf. Pig farmer Earl Scrubs loves everything in his life: his family, his home and his animals. The only problem is it's in the center of the prestigious Palmetto Golf Country Club golf course where golfers must play through a pig wallow on the 16th hole. Club receipts are down and something has to be done. The club's president kidnaps Scrubs' most prized possession, his famed prize-winning pig, and holds it hostage to force him to sell the land. Disdaining the offer of a free lifetime club membership and preferring grilled pork chops to caviar and champagne, Earl challenges the club president to a winner-take-all match. A hilarious, comic sendup of high-status golf that places a pig farmer in a gentleman's game, the fate of the farm rest on its outcome. Earl, who gets a crash course in the game from legendary mystical gold pro, thought he knew everything there was to know about golf but he's about to find out the game still has a thing or two to teach him about life.

Life for good-girl Jane Bennington had always been simple business; live for the racquet, get good grades and be faithful to your loved ones. But fame and fortune come at a cost even for the squeaky-clean, or so she finds as she adjusts to the life provided to her by her killer backhand. Sex, drugs and corruption abound in this story about a young woman losing herself and her innocence in a world of glitz and glamour. This tale of triumph, heartbreak and redemption follows the young and naive tennis star on her trip through hell and back played among the highly competitive arena of world-championship tennis.

The political climate is laden with discord but in this political thriller, the subject intensifies when the United States President falls into the fierce grip of an unprecedented illness. Revolving around a President's battle with Alzheimer s, his talks with a drunkard and rash Russian president leaning towards war, and a corrupt U.S. Vice President eager to take charge, the plotline in this fictional screenplay follows President Jefferson Payne's White House staff as they scramble to hold together the political jigsaw puzzle that arises after the president undergoes brain surgery using a controversial a memory-loss cure from human embryo stem cells developed by a discredited neurobiologist. Based on new, actual scientific discoveries coming from today's biomedical laboratories, the plot also tracks the progress of a brilliant scientist working against all obstacles political, scientific, religious, powerful and corrupt to get the antidote to the doctors in time to restore Payne s memory, save his presidency and halt potential war.

This case study shows that a widely used U. S. Government high school textbook puts an ancient King of Babylon on the same level as American founding fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. The research study finds that the assertion that the Hammurabi Code is an underlying document of the United States-as millions of American high school students are being taught today-is not correct. The U.S. Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are the founding documents of the United States. The study challenges the claim by both legalists and religionists to the presumed importance of this ancient code to the foundations of American government-now and in the past. It warns that historical revisionism of this type poses a threat to U.S. national security at a time when American values are being challenged abroad, especially in the Middle East. It finds no overall uniform oversight or coordination of parties at all levels involved in high school textbook content. The present system for fully reviewing textbooks and curricula-a combination of publishers, school boards, issue-blind teachers and academics, government and national security agencies-is not working. Unless corrected, the foundations of freedom and democracy and the Judeo-Christian spiritual values upon which they are built will continue to be seriously eroded in the nation's high schools.
