Birthdays 2.0: Social networks and growing up

There is nothing better than waking up to hugs, kisses and handmade birthday cards from your wonderful kids. (Oh, the brownies help too!) But this day is also my b-day on the net. It is wonderful to get birthday greetings from friends, loved ones and colleagues via our networks on Facebook, LinkedIn and The People's Lounge, etc. If anyone ever had a birthday that nobody remembered- a very sad day indeed- it is reassuring to get up, turn on the LifeBook and see birthday messages from around the g… Continue

Mike Beirne,
this is Steven Max Elder. I just wanted to say as soon as I hear from Jaime Bode in september I will mail on the 12th of september you by express mail a check for $1500.00 That is the best I can do this book. But there is all kinds of work for you if you want it, from adding public domain music to twitter, facebook , MySpace. I am not sure about music something like on peoples lounge would be nice, plus I have one book complete and another I need to edit. so when I have the funds I will write you or talk about fee's. Thanks for being patient.
you worked hard and I am very grateful. Steven Max Elder

Hey, Mike,
No kidding you are a techno geek past what I had imagined. It hurts my brain to think of all of the things that hurt your brain at work. Anyway, I will be much more communicative in summer.

Dude, it was bad. Had to reinstall XP etc, and forgot to write down my drivers for going online so it's been really slow and I've been really busy (even all weekends!).
But spring break is coming! WooHoo!
Hope you like babyinlove (she wrote to me, too...of course I will not reply).

Blessings,

Hello. Mike Bernie! This is Skippy, AKA( Also known as) Steven Max Elder, Author! Yes it is the truth I have one book out for release titled: "A Schizophrenic Life and Advise" about two weeks ago I recieved a second contract for royalties for another book, A christmas story. It goes into production phases like typsetting, cover and back cover, promotional items like posters, bookmarks, push cards, and buisness cards and then the audio version will be recorded along with the book. This is my second book with the same publisher.
They our planning to have a third by no latter than may 2009.
That book is another fiction story I only wish I could tell you more about the titles and content but by contract I am limited until copyright is complete. So If you would like my books they should be available to me at discount to authors I will bring them to the PI Kappa Alpha Reunion at old Linfield College.
Thanks for making me a friend to peoples Lounge. I will be joing the PI KAPPA ALPHA group over spring break. I'm going to college at one of the Cal State Universities. Finals are in two weeks and I have to pass all my upper division classes
and I have to have two, A's and only one, B, the other I am lucky with a C. I ambright at some works like writing books
I have been told and I have been doing this sinse 2006 writing books. I really enjoy the freedom we are given in the United States to have freedoms to write. I am with a Christian Publisher named Tate Publishing & Enterpises LLC. They like my work and until I leave this earth in the far future I hope, I prayed to God and he says I have a long life ahead of me, sounds like God to me Bernie. Anyway you can google my name as follows: Author Steven Max Elder. you can go to the
home page of MSN.com and follow the same procedure each web site has me in multiple listings, I have even tried Yahoo.com home page and the type in Author Steven Max Elder. Well good writing you and take care. I'll be hopefully will be on the Pike site at Delta Rho soon, Your brother Skippy.

NPR's All Thing's Considered

At Gaza Zoo, The Wild Things Return

Almost a year after Israel's offensive against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip, the coastal enclave is still struggling to recover. Most animals at the Gaza Zoo died during the fighting. Now, with the help of animal smugglers, the zoo is trying to rebuild.

Obama Aims To 'Finish The Job' In Afghanistan

President Obama said Tuesday he intends to finish the job in Afghanistan, adding he would soon announce his strategy for the country. The comments came in a joint news conference with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who is on a state visit to the U.S.

Laughter, Tears And Kisses As Marines Come Home

Families gather at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina to welcome back the Marines of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Regiment — known as "America's Battalion" — after months deployed in Afghanistan. But not every family is going to see their Marine: Thirteen of the Marines died in Afghanistan.

CBO Chief On Health Care Bills

With health care overhaul legislation set for action on Capitol Hill, all eyes are on the bottom line. But estimating the financial impact is incredibly complex and contentious. In search of clarity is Doug Elmendorf, the head of the Congressional Budget Office. Elmendorf discusses how his office puts a price tag on proposed bills, and his view of this latest health care effort.

Rockslide Shuts Down Interstate 40

One hundred fifty feet high and 300 feet wide: That's the size of a massive rockslide that last month shutdown Interstate 40 near the Tennessee-North Carolina line. Engineers now say it won't be until February when the highway reopens.

Impeachment Hearings Against Sanford Begin

South Carolina lawmakers began impeachment hearings Tuesday against Gov. Mark Sanford. The legislators began a hearing on the governor's five-day absence in June when he went to Argentina to meet his lover and left no one in charge of the state. Cindi Scoppe, associate editor of The Slate newspaper, says Sanford and the legislature had been at odds even before the scandal.

Senate, House Health Bills Have Much In Common

Much of the recent discussion about a health care overhaul has focused on the differences between the House and Senate bills. The bills actually have much in common, however: big ideas that may have once seemed controversial but are now overshadowed by talk of a public option and abortion.

Pa. University Targets Overweight Students

Students at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania are upset about a school rule requiring overweight students to take an exercise course in order to graduate. The rule applies to students with a body mass index above 30. James DeBoy, chair of the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation at Lincoln University, says the school officials believe that its their responsibility to alert students to the dangers of obesity.

Belgian Thought To Be In Coma Now Responsive

Twenty-three years ago, a Belgian car-crash victim was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. But doctors now say he appears to have been conscious the whole time. The man is now communicating using a special touchscreen. Neurologist Steven Laureys, who leads the Coma Science Group at the University of Liege in Belgium, says people in non-communicative states are misdiagnosed up to 40 percent of the time.

U.K. Begins Iraq War Inquiry

A long-awaited public inquiry into Britain's role in the Iraq war opened Tuesday with former civil servants questioned by a panel of investigators. But critics say the panel lacks the powers to get to the heart of the issues surrounding Britain's involvement in the war.
