Liberty's Kids: Complete Series

History comes alive in this excellent Emmy and Humanitas Award-nominated 40-episode, animated series about the experiences of two young teens during the American Revolution. Far more than a simple chronicle of the battles and major events of the American Revolution, Liberty's Kids tells the story of the cultural, scientific, political, and social forces that helped shape America's fight for independence from the perspective of two young teens from very different backgrounds. Sarah is a young English woman living in America who maintains a strong sense of loyalty to England and James is a printer's apprentice living the American dream, but feeling the constraints of British oppression. Working together on Benjamin Franklin's newspaper the "Pennsylvania Gazette," Sarah and James often find their interpretations of current events differ markedly and the pair constantly grapples with tough issues like slavery, self-governance, fair representation, and the role of women in battle and politics. The juxtaposition of the two teens' opposing viewpoints sparks spirited arguments in the series and inspires a fuller understanding of the complexity of the events and issues of the American Revolution for both Franklin's newspaper audiences and modern viewers. Another strength of the series is that legendary historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, and Abigail Adams come across as real, believable people engaged in a genuine struggle to determine right from wrong and to act in the best interest of their families, community, and country. An amazing cast of voice talent includes Walter Cronkite as Ben Franklin, Dustin Hoffman as Benedict Arnold, Annette Bening as Abigail Adams, Billy Crystal as John Adams, Michael Douglas as Patrick Henry, as well as General Norman Schwarzkopf, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg, and many others. Bonus features include an interesting look back at the series with creator Kevin O'Donnell and others including executive producers Andy Heyward and Mike Maliani, story editors Doug McIntyre and Jay Abramowitz, and casting director Marsha Goodman. Also included are Benjamin Franklin's Newsbytes, Continental Cartoons, Now and Then, Mystery Guest Game, original pencil tests, a 40-page booklet with a historical timeline, and a pullout poster with a United States map. Liberty's Kids is highly recommended as great entertainment and important educational programming for ages 7 and older. --Tami Horiuchi
The producers of "Strawberry Shortcake" present this fun and educational 2002-03 PBS series that depicts some of the most significant events in American history as 30-minute animated adventures told through the eyes of three kids who work as reporters for Ben Franklin (voiced by Walter Cronkite). Standard; Soundtrack: English; featurettes; game; interviews; more. 40 episodes on 6 discs. 15 hrs.

Have fun learning word building, rhyming, vocabulary and more! LeapFrog characters spring to life in this engaging and educational DVD. Leap, Lily and Tad journey into the Word Factory, where the Word Whammer, Sticky-Ick-O-Rama, and more amazing machines take letters and make them into words! Humorous songs and an out-of-control word machine add to the fun.Recommended Ages: 2 - 5 years
Building words is an exciting and empowering experience for young children (and frogs) who have mastered individual letters and their sounds. When young Tad wants to nominate his Dad for a "Best Dad" contest he asks his brother Leap and sister Lily for some help filling out the application. The three young frogs go see Professor Quigley at their Father's Talking Word Factory for a little instruction and get to watch the "Sticky-ick-o-rama" and the "Word Whammer" machines at work. Tad quickly discovers that vowels act as the glue that sticks letters together and then learns to combine individual letter sounds to make three-letter words, use common ending sounds to create rhyming words, and blend letter sounds to make even longer rhyming words. Phonemic awareness, vocabulary building, and rhyming are entertaining and fun thanks to familiar Leap Pad characters, colorful animation, and short songs. An interactive word game challenges young viewers to fill in the missing first letter in a variety of three-letter words. This program is a great next step for graduates of Leap Frog: Talking Letters Factory and children ages 3 to 6. Tami Horiuchi

It's amazing that Moneyball makes baseball statistics seem fascinating--but that's because it's not really a movie about numbers, and it's not really a movie about baseball, either. It's about what drives people to take risks--in this instance, Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), general manager of the Oakland A's, who's just had his best players poached by teams that can afford to pay a lot more. Fed up with how money twists the game, he listens to Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), who persuades him that certain players are being undervalued for trivial reasons--that statistics reveal hidden strengths that could, when used in the right combinations, produce a winning season. Beane takes Brand's advice, then has to fight everyone else around him to follow it through. Moneyball skillfully takes the audience into Beane's psyche. Pitt is in excellent form; it's an understated but magnetic performance, the kind that rarely wins awards but should. Pitt has the physical presence of a former athlete and vividly expresses the mind of a man who's never achieved success but isn't ready to give up. Director Bennett Miller (Capote) shapes the supporting cast (Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright, and others less recognizable but just as solid) as carefully as Beane shapes his team. Miller has a few flashy (and highly effective) moments of sound manipulation and editing, but Moneyball is carried by its superb performances. --Bret Fetzer
The true story of Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane's attempt to field a successful baseball team after a 2001 playoff loss to the Yankees is chronicled in this sports drama, based on the book "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game." With a limited budget, Beane (Brad Pitt) enlists the aid of an economics whiz (Jonah Hill) with a mathematical approach to scouting players, encountering opposition from the A's' more traditional manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Robin Wright also stars. 133 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, DVS, French DTS HD 5.1 Master Audio, Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English (SDH), French, Spanish; deleted scenes; blooper; featurettes.

Why Investing In A Corporate Training Library Will Better Your Business
It’s not as difficult a formula as you learned in trigonometry class, but there are definitely a number of steps to go through to build a satisfied customer base. Beyond the basics – having a good product or service to begin with, being honest and dependable in all your dealings, having employees with character and people skills – it comes down to good training, the type that is ongoing and covers all the bases. A corporate training library could be just the missing ingredient that your business needs to give your employees the edge in an ever more competitive marketplace.
If you have the time and the talent, you can develop your own corporate training library. Although the terminology suggests a room with a card catalog and a librarian, the fact is that most of today’s corporate training libraries are "virtual" in nature and are accessed from a computer over the company network. And, on second thought, there is no reason that you couldn’t dedicate a room or office, if one is available, to being a library or "learning lounge." Whether virtual, a real room or some combination of the two, the most important thing, of course, is what the library contains.
The real deal
A network-based, computer-accessible corporate training library can make use of many kinds of documents and files. You can have text documents of various kinds, detailing the company products and services, and those documents can easily have hyperlinks embedded to take you (via your web browser) to additional resources. Both online and network-resident resources can be videos, audio/video clips, slideshows, presentations and marketing materials. Printed items can be turned into the popular PDF (Portable Document Format) for reading on-screen or printing hard copy.
Generally speaking, the topics you want to cover are the same ones your competitors do – how to keep the customers satisfied so they return again, as well as recommend your company to others. A key aim of customer service training is to learn how to listen, to understand what it is the customers are telling you, in words, action or inaction, so that you can improve the experience for them now, and for others in the future.
Help on the way
It may be that it makes more economic sense for you to obtain your corporate training library from one of the many companies that specialize in employee training programs. There is a great deal of material that is common to all firms, and that can be successfully deployed for training your own employees. Some training firms have various ways of presenting the same material, allowing you to use videos, hyperlinked pages and PowerPoint presentations depending on your own needs.
More exciting still are the ways in which training materials can be customized for your particular company. The most effective training library, of course, is one that gets used, and you can increase the odds of that by making sure that the training is relevant to your situation, communicates effectively with your employees and encourages them to apply themselves in an ongoing manner. You can help the process by keeping it fresh and exciting, and educating your workforce as to the interconnectedness among quality product and service, informed and helpful employees and satisfied customers.
Training about the training
If you want your training library to be used, it needs to be accessible to various employees in various ways, and at all times, too. It is important to train your employees about using the training library – and, yes, that really does mean offering "training about training." You want to show your employees that the training materials are accessible in a variety of ways, from web browsers to hard copy, from DVD-based presentations to mp3 audio files (and "podcasts") that can be downloaded to an iPod.
Making the training available is the next most important thing to making it effective. Its effectiveness will be based on how well it helps your employees learn to understand and practice good customer service, specifically attuned to the nature of your particular business. Again, this can be accomplished on your own, or you can avail yourself of the assistance of professional training companies. The main thing is that you and your employees make customer service knowledge as important as product knowledge, and communicate this to your customers in word and deed.
Whichever route you take to establishing (and using) a corporate training library, remember that your own, specific experience and expertise are just as important as the general lessons that all businesses need to learn. There is that foundation of common knowledge, and then there are the unique experiences that you and your employees have accrued over time. Both the general and the specific are essential to the creation of a comprehensive corporate training library, and it is through ongoing refinement and improvement that it will remain relevant (and essential) to your ongoing success.
