She lives in New Hampshire with her two dogs. (Whoops! Scratch that — that’s every other writer.) Armed with a Wharton MBA and a Masters in Teaching from Brown University, one of Selena’s missions in life is to render the incomprehensi- ble comprehensible. She writes the Fool’s nationally syndicated weekly newspaper feature and has also written Investment Clubs: How to Start and Run One the Motley Fool Way and co-written The Motley Fool Investment Tax Guide. iv Acknowledgments Few Foolish products are created alone. Foolishness is all about communi- ty — about people conversing and learning together, asking and answer- ing questions, sharing opinions, and making each other laugh. Even though I have an MBA, most of what I know about investing and personal finance was learned in Fooldom. Most of what you’ll read in this book also comes from Fooldom, directly or indirectly. I’m grateful to the many community members of the Fool who spend time on our discussion boards, sharing their wisdom. I’m also indebted to my many Fool colleagues, from whom I’ve learned much. I hesitate to name any names, but when it comes to personal finance and tax issues, Roy Lewis and Dave Braze are the ones who’ve most often made me look smart. Much of this book’s car buying and home buying information, as well as the glos- sary, is drawn from the work of Bill Barker, Paul Maghielse, and David Wolpe. The colleagues who’ve taught me about investing are too numerous to name. Many Fools worked hard helping make this book a reality, heroically read- ing and reviewing every page and making it a much better work than it otherwise would have been. I thank them most sincerely: Brian Bauer, Reg- gie Santiago-Bobala, Alissa Territo, Robyn Gearey, and Debora Tidwell. Thanks to Alicia Abell as well, for her guidance as the book was shaped. v For my family, who made me who I am, and my Fool colleagues, who always make me look good.

We design each of the pranks in accordance with our public mission: to edu- cate, to amuse, and to enrich. That means the jokes themselves must not only be funny, but must also teach people to make better financial decisions. Our 1998 joke provided a perfect example. On our home page at Fool.com, as evening blended into early morning on April 1, 1998, we put up a pub- lic apology, front and center. “We’ve been telling

  • Praise for the Corporate Whistleblower's Survival Guide
    Praise for The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide “Blowing the whistle is a life-altering experience. Taking the fi rst step is the hardest, knowing that you can never turn back. Harder yet is not taking the step and allowing the consequences of not blowing the whistle to continue, knowing you could have stopped them. Your life will be forever changed; friends and family will question your ac- tions if not your sanity, your peers will shun you, every relationship you treasure will be strained to the breaking point. This handbook is required reading for anyone considering blowing the whistle.” —Richard and Donna Parks, Three Mile Island cleanup whistleblower and wife “The Corporate Whistleblower’s Survival Guide will be an immense help! For while there are no one-size-fi ts-all ‘right answers,’ the au- thors have effectively translated their decades of actual experience, insights, and resources in this fi eld onto paper. A realistic framework will now exist to help people confronting such diffi cult situations.” —Coleen Rowley, FBI 9/11 whistleblower and a 2002 Time Person of the Year “Lays out exactly what potential corporate whistleblowers must know to help improve their chances of both surviving whistleblowing and stopping the misconduct they set out to expose. My only hope is that we can help spread the word so that all potential corporate whistle- blowers read this book before they take their fi rst steps down that lonely road.” —Danielle Brian, Executive Director, Project on Government Oversight “As commissioner, I relied on whistleblowers like Jeffrey Wigand to learn the inside story about the deceptive practices of the tobacco industry.

  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.
