WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama overrode the Bush administration on a key step in administering the Endangered Species Act on Tuesday, restoring a requirement that federal agencies consult with experts on threatened species before launching construction projects that could affect their well-being.

Environmentalists said reinstating the requirement blocks the Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Forest Service and others from "nibbling away" at critical wildlife habitat. Business and industry groups, on the other hand, warned that it could hamper road-building and other projects that would help jump-start the economy.

Penny Jackson knew that it was probably wrong to be so excited to see her ex-husband come crawling back, but she was willing to live with the character flaw.

What woman in her right mind would not enjoy watching the man who broke her heart come crawling back? Delicious is an engrossing read that I couldn't put down. I especially enjoyed how it goes beyond the relationship between Penny and Cal, her ex, and explores various familial relationships. It is all the more realistic because it isn't focused solely on falling in love. Fortunately, the other relationships never take away from the one between Penny and Cal - in fact, they add a bit of spice to their relationship and the plot as a whole. It is, for lack of a better phrase, absolutely delicious.

Sorry, everyone, but for this book I could not put in a quote so I'll just tell you about it and try to persuade you to read it without the quote.

In the book Finding Abby, Abby, a musical prodigy, loses her hearing and goes though the difficultly of not being able to hear. Two years after meningitis claimed her hearing, Abby dies, by her own hand, it is believed.

Paige, Abby’s older sister, is told about Abby’s death and cannot believe it because Abby was a sweet girl who always did as she was told.

From wikipedia:
Dr. William Carlos Williams (sometimes known as WCW) (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963), was an American poet closely associated with modernism and Imagism.

Life
Williams was born in Rutherford, New Jersey, a community near the city of Paterson. His father was an English immigrant, and his mother was born in Puerto Rico. He attended public school in Rutherford until 1897, then was sent to study at Château de Lancy near Geneva, Switzerland, the Lycée Condorcet in Paris, France, for two years and Horace Mann School in New York City. Then, in 1902, he entered the University of Pennsylvania Medical School. During his time at Penn, Williams befriended Ezra Pound, Hilda Doolittle (best known as H.D.) and the painter Charles Demuth.
