POLL: What About Psychics?
Do you trust them?
It seems that every December certain "psychics" come out with their lists of predictions for the upcoming year. How do you feel about psychic predictions? Do you believe them? Ignore them?
News and World Events: What Do You Predict for 2009?
What do you expect? Hope for? Wish for? Pray for?
With the new year comes thoughts about the future. As 2009 looms, uncertainty seems the only certainty. What's going to happen with the economy? The price of gas? What kind of president is Barack Obama going to be? Can he solve our country's problems?
Do you have predictions about the economy? News or world events? Who will win the World Series? What do you expect to see happen in 2009? We'd love to read what you predict.

Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?
Ring in the new year with the singing of this traditional New Year's eve song.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot

For auld lang syne
We'll take a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

This Year I Will...: How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution, or Make a Dream Come True
From Publishers Weekly
Fast forward a few months (or a few weeks) into any given new year, and most peoples' resolutions have been either forgotten or abandoned. As one of the creators of the bestselling Random Acts of Kindness series, author and life coach Ryan outlines a concrete and practical strategy for following through on a resolution while dealing with all of life's other ups and downs: "One of the tricks about change is that we have to figure out how to do it in the midst of everything else." In encouraging, easy-to-read chapters, Ryan tackles the obstacles that keep readers from their goals and provides helpful tools and language to quell negative, self-defeating thoughts. . .

No Limits: The Will to Succeed
"When I'm focused, there is not one single thing, person, anything that can stand in the way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I'm gonna get there."

The Last Lecture
Amazon.com Review
"We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand."
--Randy Pausch
A lot of professors give talks titled "The Last Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them. And while they speak, audiences can't help but mull the same question: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy?
When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave--"Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams"--wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.
In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humor, inspiration and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.
