Barack Obama is a master at grabbing and keeping his audience's attention, which is the number one goal of any public speaker. How does he do it? Here are five key lessons from Obama's rhetorical playbook.

At a recent press availability the Air Force Secretary remained committed to the large number of F-35 aircraft planned to be procured. At the same time Lockheed Martin revealed that they were paying themselves for schedule and development issues. A major slip to the program will result in increased costs and perhaps less aircraft being bought.

Even smart people make financial moves that are downright illogical. Emotions and superstitions have a sneaky way of keeping you from rational financial decisions. But dumb choices can have serious, real-world consequences. Here are some of the biggest blunders we all make, plus tips from the experts on how to keep cool.

FELINE ADOPTION & RESCUE SOCIETY'S NEWSLETTER  |  NUMBER 7, DECEMBER 2009
 
Message from the Director

Dear Friends,
 
The year 2009 has been our first full year of operations. The Feline Adoption & Rescue Society (FARS) has provided resources, care and love to help a wide range of cats — from abandoned healthy kittens to cats with many medical needs.

We have been able to help these cats thanks to your contributions and efforts. If you'd like to celebrate our achievements with us, please join us for our Holiday Fundraiser on December 8 at the

Special holiday issue — Celebrating our year of adoptions!

In this special holiday issue, Cat Chat is celebrating the more than 200 cats that FARS has adopted this year. We picked one cat per month to tell you a bit about the wonderful cats who are now with their new families. Enjoy!
 
January — Sox (renamed Houston)
 
In January, FARS took in 20 cats from a family in a small apartment in Worcester.

Sox was the first to be adopted. His adopter, Janie, re-named him Houston and says he is “an over-sized, goofy, sweet” cat. “He is quick to defend what he thinks is his — namely me — and is not afraid to just sprawl in every direction. Seriously, at times, he's basically a living puddle of velvet.”
 
February — Broderick (renamed Stewie)

In February, we opened our second Adoption Center inside the PetSmart at the Shopper's World Mall in Framingham.

Broderick, was the first one to be adopted. Rhett was visiting from South Carolina and fell in love at the first sight of Broderick.

He’s a southern boy now and doesn't miss the snowy New England winters one bit.


March — Ginger

Ginger was FARS Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde — when she was by herself in a room, she was a sweet, affectionate tabby kitty. But when she was in the Adoption Center with the other cats, she became aggressive.

She was adopted by Shannon and will have a bright future to show the affectionate side of her personality.
 
April — Disco

Disco is one of those cats with a gentle temperament that everyone loves. He is a 7-year-old long-haired, black cat with bear-sized paws. Because he had a heart murmur, we took him for an ultrasound, and the veterinarian found a heart condition and started him on medication.

In six months we had him re-tested, and — good news! His heart improved.

That's when Karen came, looking for a companion for her elderly aunt with whom she shares a two-family house. Karen took him home, and she now helps give Disco his daily medication. In return he showers her and her aunt with love.

“Disco is very affectionate. My aunt and I are really enjoying his company,” says Karen. “I brush him almost every day and give him his medicine twice a day. His latest heart exam came out great. We’re very happy.”
 
May — Ben & Cooper

Cooper had a feisty personality and funny behaviors, like running with his front paws while he drank water. Ben, Cooper's best friend, was very shy.
