Steve Jobs Legacy
Steve Jobs lived an incredible life. Much will be written about his legacy and the indelible imprint he left on this life. He is arguably one of the most visionary men of our century. He did for technology what Henry Ford and Thomas Edison had done in the previous century with industry.
Steve Jobs redefined “cross-over” appeal. People of all races, languages and cultures embraced him as the change agent he was. There has been much written about his mercurial temper and his pursuit of the next big thing.
His ability to bring disparate groups of people together via technology and his inventions far surpasses any other human being on the planet. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Democrats and Republicans could do the same? Better yet; the Republicans and President Obama?

Inside the Life of an Undertaker
It was the definition of an odd job. Canadian radio journalist Tom Jokinen took a job as an apprentice undertaker in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He spent a year poking and prodding his way to a deeper understanding of what happens after people die, but before they’re gone forever.
In his new book Curtains: Adventures of an Undertaker-in-Training he tells all the gory details. Jokinen spoke to TIME about the most difficult-to-stomach parts of being a mortician and why cremation is the way to go.

Dying in a Recession
When the economy slows down so do we. We cut back on expenses, expensive dinners, lavish vacations and even cable! We try to cut expenses wherever we can. We stop doing a lot of the excesses that helped cause the problem. However, we don’t stop dying! Trust me, its not any cheaper because we’re in a recession!
People are absolutely blown away at the high cost of dying. These are a lot of the people who have avoided the issue like an ostrich with his head in the sand. You can pay now or pay later, sound familiar?
