	Four More Years
		John Kerry says that he only needs four years too; he has his own “big plans.” If we could only see that he is the man for the job, he could cure all the ills of the world with four years.
		Four years seems to be the magic time frame, but we obviously have not found the right man for the job yet.
		Every four years another loser steps up to the plate and tells us that all he needs is four years, and the previous loser claims that he just needs four more years.

	Book Review for Life: A Natural History of the First Four Billion Years of Life on Earth
		The prevailing theory is that the first primitive organisms developed in the deep seas near hydrothermal vents.
		The fossil record in the Archaean Eon (2.5 billion years ago and earlier) is scant: There are some microfossils in the Fig Tree chert of Transvaal, South Africa and in the Pilbara rocks of Western Australia.
		Reptiles diversified and the progenitors of mammals arose.

		During their first four years of marriage, Laura and Almanzo Wilder have a child and fight a losing battle in their attempts to succeed at farming on the South Dakota prairie.

		A lot happens to the Wilders during their first four years including the birth of a daughter, disastrous weather and constant debt, serious illness, and a death in the family.

	USC-MSA Compendium of Muslim Texts
		All four were among thc earliest and closest Companions of the Prophet (peace be on him).

		The first six years were marked by internal peace and tranquility, but during the second half of his caliphate a rebellion arose.

	The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
		The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
		The First Four Years is not considered by many to be in the actual series, as it is written in a much different style than the rest of the books.
		It highlights those first four years after Laura married Almanzo, which includes the birth of Rose, and many of the hardships that continue to plague the life of Laura as a pioneer.

	Catalog \| Microcosm Publishing
		It is nearly daily journals over four years of a young guy who finds himself subbing in schools for the physically and learning disabled, trying in his own way to reach out to everyone from high school kids with behavioral problems, to severely autistic children.
		This book is a collection of stories from four years of Dave’s journals and his zine On Subbing, which documents his life as a substitute teacher in special education classrooms.
		When I first gawked at this book I couldn’t fully grasp the concept of it all as I’ve never read anything quite like it in the past, but about a quarter way into it I began to warm to the author and the light in which he showed his students in.

	Screening children in the first four years of life to undergo early treatment for otitis media with effusion
		The aim of this review was to assess evidence from randomised controlled trials about the effectiveness, on language and behavioural outcomes, of screening and treating children with clinically important OME in the first four years of their life.
		The focus was on the first four years of life because this is the time of most rapid language development.
		The identified randomised trials do not show an important benefit from screening of the general population of asymptomatic children in the first four years of life for OME on language development and behaviour.

		One indicator of the respect JCCI developed during these years could be seen in the leading citizens from all walks of life who chaired studies, served on committees and became board directors.

		When punk rock first came to be in the 70s, for the most part it was really just plain old rock & roll in new clothing.
		The grinding, shredding sound of hardcore punk that can be heard on "The First Four Years" should come with an advisory for those who have never jumped in the waters that Black Flag swum in; because this music is not for the faint of heart.
		In fact, after their first album, Damaged, they stormed off the charts themselves, into some sorta experimental punk yuk, excluding, of course, the wonderful 2xLP, Everything Went Black of these same songs done by a variety of their earlier singers.

		By any objective measure, however, after four years of George W. Bush's presidency, the entire nation should be suffering from utter scandal exhaustion.
		If the next four years of Bush and the GOP running the federal government are anything like the previous four, however, potential scandals will lead to few political consequences for the Republicans.
		This list is also limited to events of the past four years, or those coming to light in that time.

		This is where Fortey began his carrier, and where he made a first mark in the study of extinct organisms from earth's ancient past.
		This first chapter is important because it reminds us that our knowledge of earth's history has come in fitful starts in which chance and luck have played a central roll.
		I found this particularly interesting because I can recall as a little boy reading how dinosaurs were slow, had two brains (one in the head and one in the tail) and had to live in water to support their weight.

	Biomass and Nutrient Accumulation in a Cottonwood Plantation - The First Four Years
		For the first 4 years, height increment of an eastern cottonwood plantation on a clayey soil was greatest in the first growing season; diameter growth was greatest in the second growing season; and annual production of biomass was greatest in the third year.
		While removal of nutrients per ton of biomass would be greatest the first year, loss per hectare would be as great or greater in later years, due to higher annual yield.
		After year 2, there is little difference in nutrient loss between summer and winter bole removal.

		Fortey's descriptions of scruffy field assistants and eccentrically brilliant scientists are easily as interesting as the billions of years of evolution he so imaginatively describes.
		The first one was the fact that there is no table to know what time period he is referring to.
		The only problem, I believe is that the task of writing the natural history of the first four billion years of life on earth is huge.

	Life: A Natural History of the First Four Billion Years of Life on Earth
		The first chapter is a brief autobiographical piece which sets the stage for how Fortey entered his profession.
		In recounting what happened in the four thousand million years between the birth of Earth and the appearance of Homo sapiens, Fortey reconstructs nothing less than how—and why—we became who we are.
		Fortey is a senior paleontologist at London's Natural History Museum, and from the book's opening scene—an account of his first youthful expedition to the Arctic to hunt for ancient fossils—he interweaves his grand history with deft and revealing vignettes of what it's like to work in the field.

	Amazon.de: The First Four Years (Little House (Original Series Paperback)): English Books: Laura Ingalls Wilder,Garth ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This theory is questionable, as there is evidence that Laura wrote this journal sometime in the early 30's (called by her "The First Three Years and A Year of Grace").
		My daughter was annoyed by the fact that the descriptions of the events before Laura and Almanzo's wedding are not exactly like those in the earlier book, and she quickly picked up on the fact the book doesn't have the richness of description so important to enjoyment of the earlier works, especially for young girls.
		Laura and Almanzo had a rough time of it those first four years, but this book does not have the tone of hopefulness and progress that illuminated the earlier works--in fact, Laura reveals a great deal of anger and bitterness that exists, but is veiled, in the Rose-edited stories.

		The summer I stumbled across 'The First Four Years,' I was sixteen or seventeen.
		Small surprise, then, that from the very first smacked-out B/E/A/D changes of "Nervous Breakdown," that I felt an exhilaration far beyond that which most other music could provoke at the time.
		Hearing this collection of pre-"Damaged" material is akin to walking peacefully down the street and suddenly being beaten to a pulp by four guys you don't even know.

		Released more than two years after Waking Up With the House on Fire derailed Culture Club's hit-making ways, This Time gathers the songs of one of the most successful pop bands of the '80s.
		From the buoyant "Karma Chameleon" and the Motown-inspired "Church of the Poison Mind" to the breezy "Time (Clock of the Heart" and the new wave torch song "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me," listening to This Time is like being in 1983 again.

		Green's style is extremely easy to read, fun, confidence-inspiring and the book is full of anecdotes and advice from his years of experience both as a father and paediatrician.
		The author really has seen it all, with children of his own and many many stories about the little patients he has treated over the years.
