Claim: Image shows the warship USS New York, built using steel from the World Trade Center.
Status:True.
With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship, USS New York, has already made history. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center. It is the fifth in a new class of warship — designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft. Steel from the World Trade Center was melted down in a foundry in Amite, La., to cast the ship's bow section.
When it was poured into the molds on Sept. 9, 2003, "those big rough steelworkers treated it with total reverence," recalled Navy Capt. Kevin Wensing, who was there.

Every once in awhile, a network marketing book crosses my desk that I can't put down. Believe me, I've seen them all, the good, the bad, and the ugly. This is my pick for 2007 Network Marketing Book of the Year.
"John is the big thinker in this industry, the guy who always takes the high road. Read and Learn...it's well worth the journey"-Seth Godin, author of Permission Marketing and Purple Cow
John David Mann's Book, The Zen Of MLM, is a no nonsense guide for the network marketer.Get this book into the hands of anyone investigating the business of network marketing for the first time. I wish I had this under my pillow when I began my journey.
John David Mann was co founder of, and senior editor of Upline Magazine; editor and chief of Network Marketing Life- styles; and editor in chief at Networking Times. During the 1990's he built a network marketing organization of over 100,000 distributors.
I found out right away that John David Mann knows the Network Marketing Industry inside and out.
What impressed me most were the practical strategies, easy readability, and John's integrity. In any industry, those qualities are key to its success and the reader's acceptance. There is nothing worse than lugging a thesaurus around while reading a network marketing book full of $20 words and half truths.
Short chapters are key! Take it to the gym, the doctor's office, birthing room(my husband's idea) and in the car while you are waiting in traffic. Check out these chapter titles.

The Pay it Forward Idea is spreading like wildfire across the USA. On a snowy Sunday, we needed food for the 3 ravaged children in the back seat. After paying our bill at Burger King we asked the lady behind the the wireless mic, how much the bill was for the van behind us. We said we would pay not only our bill, but also theirs. At first she didn't understand. My husband also tipped her for her great service and a positive attitude despite the line up of cars behind us that curved around the building. The startled women was in shock. As we pulled away, she literally stuck her smiling face out the drive up window and shook her head.
Just think how life would be different if each person shared a smile, gave a compliment or paid for the coffee of the person behind them. Imagine how they would feel. Imagine how you would feel. Giving feels great!
