I Discovered How To STOP Stress and Worry, and YOU can too.
A week after college graduation, I gazed at my semi-furnished apartment. In the two days I had slept on the scratchy olive sofa, I had grown to love this place. The chrome and red formica table in the kitchen glistened in the morning sun. My first real apartment!
Even though I was excited, my stomach was in knots.
My rent was due in 3 1/2 weeks and I had no idea how to pay for it. I had just moved from Ohio to live near my family. I left college with just enough funds for food and rent for a month. I felt lost and alone.
Within a week, I landed a job that paid $6,500 a year (not bad for a first job in 1977) and quickly found a roommate.
I desperately wanted to live by myself and needed to make more money. My dad was a successful broker at Merrill Lynch and he encouraged me to consider that as a new career. I had no interest in becoming a stock broker, but it was as good as any job.
A year later I knew I was in the wrong place. The stock market was interesting, but I hated cold calling. I also lacked the confidence needed to successfully help clients achieve their investment objectives.
I desperately wanted to find a job I enjoyed, but I wasn't qualified for the ones I found interesting. Fears and worries about failure and lack of money dominated my thoughts. Rather than risk making less money, I remained in the finance field for a grueling, boring, stress-filled and unsatisfying fifteen years.
I knew that if I didn't stop worrying and change my thoughts, I would never achieve my goals.
By 2001 I had two children and was in the midst of a miserable divorce. All I wanted was to make a good life for me and my children, live in my own home, enjoy a new career, and find my soul mate.
My fascination with hypnosis led me to search for easy ways to feel better. If something worked – even just a bit – I embraced it and kept on moving forward.
As I write this I'm happy to tell you that I married my should mate and my life is better than I ever imagined. I love my life and feel blessed every day.
Am I super lucky? Not really. I simply learned how to use these tools and my life improved.

The Kardashians
Pregnant Kim Kardashian in Head-to-Toe Leather (PHOTOS)
Third outfit's a charm! We were on the fence about pregnant Kim Kardashian's March 26 outfit for Good Morning America and divided about the Band-Aid beige-pink dress she wore hours later for Live with Kelly and Michael (some of us loved it, the rest of us weren't fans). However, we gotta say, Kim is KRUSHING IT in this head-to-toe leather look.
The reality star and mom-to-be traded in the flouncy skirts for a tight, tan leather dress with black motorcycle jacket as she stopped for a bite to eat at Cipriani in Soho. And, after telling Good Morning America that flats actually hurt her back, she's in another pair of sky-high stilettos — this time a sexy pair of black leather gladiator pumps.
After lunch, Kim checked on her Dash store and then stopped by Curve, another Soho boutique, to do a little light shopping. Frankly, we think she should just buy this dress in every color. Though she looked at a few items, Kim appeared to have left empty-handed, so maybe she agrees with us.
One thing's for sure — Kim clearly knows she looks killer in this outfit. In just about every pic, she's grinning ear to ear and has the unmistakable strut of a lady who knows she looks good.

Music, Music, Music!!!
Music is the soundtrack to our lives! Passions stir when our favourite musicians take to the stage, especially in the sweet country air of an outdoor summer festival! Sound travels better in the open space, and when big speakers growl straight into the bare earth freedom rushes through our veins and love pumps from our hearts! This is what music festivals are all about!
It is all about the music, but we also like surprises, and know you will too! So, as in the past we are continuing our tradition of not announcing the full music lineup and set times before the festival. We want you to come with a completely open ear, ready for anything that takes your fancy at any time!
Don't worry, we will have a world class international and local lineup over 3 stages and 4 days, we just want the anticipation for the festival to be for the festival, not for the superstar dj playing in the main time slot!
Come with your friends, set up your camp, and then see where the music journey takes you, you may leave with a new favourite tune you never new existed, or a new dance that you've never danced before!
Music will start at 4pm Friday and end 6pm Monday.

On Spiritual Direction Two
1) It is really easy to deceive one's self on the spiritual road to God. Deception can look like piety, or discouragement, and even be a way some people excuse themselves from the hard bits. Even in a monastery, monks or nuns can "opt" out on the road to perfection by either manipulating the authority over them, manipulating the community or by isolating themselves. This can happen through weakness or through pride and through strength and pride.
This is one reason why one who does not have a spiritual director should find a good confessor and always go to the same one for continuity. This continuity opens the door for honesty and proves to make a huge difference in a person's life if they cannot find a spiritual director. In the past years when I did not have one, having the same confessor week after week was extremely useful and productive.
Humility is honesty and one cannot grow in humility unless one is honest about one's self.
2) A role model in one's life, or even a saint one admires and with whom one can identify is helpful if one does not have a spiritual director. When we have, especially, an older person in whom we see holiness and can learn from them just by osmosis or being in their presence, this can be a great help in spiritual growth.
Too many Millennials do not have good examples in their families of personal holiness. Many do, but not all can look towards leadership in the family for spiritual growth. Cynicism and fear can be a reaction in a young person who cannot see personal holiness or who does not have a role model. A priest told me of an old woman he visited regularly until she died. He said visiting her was like stepping into heaven because of her love of God and His Love for her. He was always eager to see her.
For example. Therese the Little Flower appeals to both men and women because of her "Little Way" and her honesty. Pier Georgio Frassati is very popular among those at the end of Generation X, as they can identify with his family life and his love of friendship. Groups have grown out of this need for modelling.
For those who are married, Louis and Zelie Martin are perfect examples of those who suffer on the way to perfection.
to be continued....

"This is one reason why one who does not have a spiritual director should find a good confessor and always go to the same one for continuity."
My biggest problem with this, SuperT, is the fact that in our diocese priests are getting scarce... fast.
As a matter of fact I am hearing that our deanery may go down to one priest for (currently) six parishes, one Catholic school, one chapel, and 5000+ parishioners. (all of this covers three counties)
Well, looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and seek out a solid deacon for a spiritual director. :)

I used to receive spiritual direction when I was younger, and somewhat wet behind the ears and had less ability to discern the good from the bad. I have had two very bad directors. The first was a religious sister (in mufti) who was quite bitter inside so I never went back to her. The second was also a woman, a liberal Baptist would you believe, even though the centre she worked at was run by Catholics. Anyway, the advice she gave me was toxic - she basically told me to just go ahead and give into my lusts. Thankfully I never did. Since then I have tried to find a spiritual director but have not been able to. I have contacted a number of priests, who have not bothered to respond. I don't know what to make of this. Almost every priest and religious sister in my diocese is liberal and I am loathe to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Sometimes when I feel I need guidance on a certain matter I turn to the writings of the saints. They never let you down.

- Our Services
- Our Services by discipline
Brand Finance is the world's leading independent brand valuation consultancy. We conduct valuations and analytical assignments for branded enterprises and branded business. We value brands, intangible assets and intellectual property in many jurisdictions for accounting, tax, corporate finance and marketing purposes.
Brand Valuation
Brand Finance uses one or more of three widely recognised Approaches to valuing brands, depending on the circumstances of the particular assignment. Compliant with both IVSC and ISO standards we may apply a Market Approach, which determines value by benchmarking against transactions involving similar brands which may have been bought or sold. Or we may apply a Cost Approach, which determines value by considering the cost to recreate a brand of equivalent economic utility. But more commonly we apply the Income Approach, which estimates the value of future income attributable to the brand and expresses this as a Net Present Value. Within the Income Approach the most common method used for finance and tax brand valuations is the Royalty Relief method because it is transparent, based on commercial practice and is more verifiable for audit and legal purposes. However, we also frequently use the price premium, volume premium, margin uplift, cost savings, economic substitution and income split methods when appropriate.
Our understanding of your business, the data available, and our technical expertise ensure that your brand will be robustly valued, using the most appropriate Approaches and Methods, whatever the circumstances.
Specific Offerings
- Product Brand Valuation
- Corporate Brand Valuation
Branded Business Valuation
Branded business value (BBV) is the value of the entire business operating under a particular set of trademarks and associated intellectual property. Typically determining a BBV is the first step in a brand valuation exercise as calculating a brand value alone can lead to a narrow assessment of the impact that brand has on a business. BBVs give us a greater understanding of the business value as a whole as a starting point for more accurate valuations of the individual intangible assets, including brands.
Specific Offerings
- Branded Business Valuations
Financial Reporting
We have considerable experience in conducting post-acquisition purchase price allocations and impairment reviews on specific intangibles, for financial reporting purposes. Such exercises require comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the appropriate standards, and (in terms of audit approval) often benefit from the assurance of being conducted by a 3rd party.
Specific Offerings
- Purchase Price Allocations
- Impairment Reviews
- Investor Relations
Intangible Asset Valuation
Brand Finance is an international leader in the valuation of intangible assets. A high level of technical understanding and expertise is applied in determining the most appropriate Approaches and Methods to arrive at a reliable valuation, given the unique nature of each intangible asset.
Specific Offerings
- Customer Lifetime Value
- Patent / R&D / Technology Valuation
- Database Valuation
- Website Valuation
- Copyright Valuation
Legal Support
We work closely with clients, internal and external counsel and courts to provide clear and objective expert reports relating to complex brand valuation and licensing issues. We have frequently advised clients on the issues and assisted with mediation, arbitration and litigation. Often the most satisfactory conclusion to a dispute is to reach a compromise in mediation or pre-court settlement. We assist all parties to understand the data, assumptions, technical valuation issues and risks under each of several scenarios. We help to protect the commercial value of brands through a range of licensing and trademark disputes that have been settled both in and out of court.
Specific Offerings
- Loss or Damage Assessment
- Expert Witness
Tax Valuation
The growing importance of intangible assets has significant tax planning implications. Brand Finance works for both fiscal authorities and brand owners on transfer pricing and capital gains tax issues. The Brand Finance team is expert at understanding and explaining the tax benefits and the implications of differing internal and external licensing strategies. We have experience in determining appropriate arms-length royalty payments between subsidiaries, and have assisted several companies in setting up bespoke IP holding companies, which own, manage and licence out brands and other IP to the rest of their organisations.

In today's dentistry, alternative approaches to the problem of mandibular reconstruction are important in restoring the mandible, which may have been lost through tumor resections, bone defects, pseudoarthosis or osteomyelitis.
Also for use in those situations in which the condyle or condylar process must be rebuilt or replaced, where portions of the condylar process such as the head, neck, and pterygoid fovea may have deteriorated through disease or from accidental injury. A condylar process arm may be fabricated as a substitute bearing surface for the defective natural condylar process.
1. A clamp securable non-invasively to the ramus portion of the human mandible, at least the proximal portion of the mandible having deteriorated to a condition requiring replacement by an artificial mandible portion, the clamp having means for engagement with clampable surfaces of said ramus portion, the clamp comprising:
a generally thin central hub, the hub adapted to be positioned appropriately on said ramus portion; radiating from said hub,
(1) two fixed securing arms, comprising a superior securing arm and a posterior securing arm,
(2) an anterior artificial articulating arm,
(3) an adjustable anterior securing arm; said hub further comprising,
(a) means for securing said superior securing arm to a clampable surface of said ramus portion,
(b) means for securing said posterior securing and within the posterior border of said ramus portion, said anterior articulating arm further comprising a downwardly curving portion having means for simulating the dimensional curvature of at least a portion of the human mandible.
2. A clamp as recited in claim 1, said clamp further comprising an artificial jawbone portion, said jawbone portion having means for rotatable engagement with said clamp.
3. A method of non-bone-invasively installing a clamp securable to the ramus portion of the human mandible, wherein at least a proximal portion of said mandible has deteriorated to a condition requiring replacement by an artificial jawbone portion, said clamp comprising a superior securing arm, an anterior securing arm, a posterior securing and arm an anterior articulating arm having a downwardly curving portion having means for simulating the dimensional curvature of at least a portion of said human mandible and an artificial mandible portion, said method comprising:
(a) exposing said ramus portion by incising through the mucosa in the area of the external oblique ridge;
(b) exposing the ascending portion of said ramus portion from the retromolar region superiorly to the coronoid tip;
(c) dissecting posteriorly to expose the sigmoid notch of said ramus portion and uncovering the lateral aspect of the ramus portion while exposing the angle of said mandible and its inferior border;
(d) placing both said superior and said posterior securing arms onto said sigmoid notch and posterior border respectively;
(e) seating said clamp into position and locking said clamp in place,
(f) securing said artificial mandible portion in place.
This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 07/924,490, filed on Sep. 4, 1992, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,150.
Disclosure Documents No. 316502 (Aug. 14, 1992) and No. 320959 (Dec. 3, 1992) are pertinent to this disclosure.
An alternate embodiment of the dental ramus implant shown in copending application Ser. No. 07/924,490 is treated in this disclosure. It is an alternative approach to the problem of mandibular reconstruction. It is a novel apparatus and method for restoring the mandible, lost through tumor resections, bone defects, pseudoarthosis or osteomyelitis.
The biomechanical advantages of the ramus clamp of U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,150 can be combined with means to restore the mandible to overcome several of the problems which face the Cranofacial or Maxillofacial Surgeon. The present design overcomes the following problems associated with conventional techniques:
a. Fastening to the boney stump posteriorly becomes more predictable in the unilateral situation;
b. Bilateral or entire jaw replacement is more easily accomplished with a secure and straightforward procedure; and
c. Dependency upon screws to anchor the posterior reconstruction is eliminated.
In the apparatus and method of the embodiment shown herein, no slots are made in the rami, but pre-designed clamps tightly grip the cortical surfaces and avoid the cancellous bone of the mandible, providing a secure hold without reducing the strength of the mandible.
In FIG. 2, a copy of FIG. 8 of Ser. No. 07/924,490 is shown as an alternate embodiment of the invention, for use in those situations in which the condyle or condylar process must be rebuilt or replaced. Portions of the condylar process 115, such as the head, neck, and pterygoid fovea may have deteriorated through disease or from accidental injury. A condylar process arm 120 may be fabricated as a substitute bearing surface for the defective natural condylar process.
As noted in U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,150, "it is also possible to apply this invention in the replacement of the condylar process and, of course, it may be applied in other defective condylar processes, elsewhere in the human anatomy, for which this construction is suitable."
The novelty of this invention resides primarily in the use of mechanically adjustable clamping apparatus and methods which do not weaken the cortical bone structure in order to securely mount a surgical clamp.
In the prior art, in the replacement of other defective condylar processes such as the condylar head of the femur, the prosthesis may be: forced into the femur; cemented in place; or screws may be driven into the bone.
The present invention avoids: crude pounding of the implant stem into the femoral canal, or equivalent canal in other bones, in order to achieve a press-fit of the implant; attempts to secure the shank of the implant within the internal bone canal with cements of uncertain reliability and indefinite life; and/or the use of wood screws, which rely upon the continuing elasticity of the bone to maintain solid contact between bone and prosthesis.
The present invention expands its clamps within the femoral canal in analogous fashion to the external clamping of the dental ramus clamp of U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,150. It uses a large bearing surface over which relatively low pressure can be maintained to secure and maintain solid bonding of prosthesis within the bone canal.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent in the following specification when considered in light of the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a copy of FIG. 1 from U.S. Pat. No. 5,306,150, with the anterior supporting framework 46 shown in dashed lines to indicate that it is not part of that invention;
FIG. 2 shows the embodiment modified for replacement of the condyle or condylar process;
FIG. 3 shows the entire lower jaw replaced and supported by the dental ramus implant.
FIG. 4 shows an axial cross section of the entire mechanism of a femoral implant in place in the femur and the artificial hip ball joint in the pelvis;
FIG. 5 shows a sectional view of the components of the lockring 411 and the vernier lockpin 412 which provide adjustment within one degree;
FIG. 6 shows an axial sectional view of the clamp mechanism with emphasis on the locking-ring mechanism;
FIG. 7 shows a profile view of the drawbar or stem 409;
FIG. 8 is an exploded view of the apparatus in FIGS. 4, 6; and
FIG. 9 is an axial sectional view of the tapered flexible clamps 408.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and in particular to FIG. 1. Therein illustrated is a ramus-clamp dental implant designated by the numeral 20. The ramus-clamp 20 is comprised of three adjustable arms secured to a non-rotable hub. The most superior component will henceforth be referred to as the superior securing arm 25. It is positioned over the sigmoid (or mandibular) notch 18. The posterior securing arm 26 is draped around the posterior aspect of the ramus. Both the superior securing arm 25 and the posterior securing arm 26 are extensions of the main body 30 of the ramus-clamp. Both securing arms lie in the same plane as the Interior articulating arm 27. The anterior articulating arm 27 ends in connecting means 36 to which may be secured the anterior supporting framework 46.
FIG. 2 shows the embodiment modified for replacement of the condyle or condylar process. As noted in the parent application, this is a generic apparatus for any locations in which the condyle or condylar process must be rebuilt or replaced. The numbers on the drawing are correlated with those used for the Preferred Embodiment. Portions of the condylar process 115, such as the head, neck, and pterygoid fovea may have deteriorated through disease or from accidental injury. A condylar process arm 120 may be fabricated as a substitute bearing surface for the defective natural condylar process. It may function in a manner similar to that of articulating arm 27 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows the entire right lower jaw replaced and supported by the dental ramus implant. The anterior supporting framework 46 of FIG. 1, shown dashed to indicate that it was not part of the parent invention has now been replaced by an artificial mandible, or jawbone 201, which is one of the essential disclosures of this C.I.P. application. Part 202 may indicate: a portion of the mandible which is salvageable; a mechanical bond between mandible portion 201 and a mating mandible portion replacing the left half of the jawbone; or it may be nonexistant, in which case part 201 represents a complete jawbone fabricated to the dimensions of the original natural jawbone. Surface patterns such as dimples 203 may be incorporated for better bonding of the implant to the surrounding tissue. Other mechanical parts and methods may be used without departing from the spirit and intent of this invention.
It may thus be seen that both embodiments may be used for one patient, in a combined apparatus of FIGS. 1 and 3, should such an unfortunate complication arise.
FIG. 4 shows an axial cross section of the entire mechanism of a femoral implant 400 in place in the femur 401. The artificial hip ball joint 402, preferably a ceramic-surfaced casehardened zirconium ball is shown in its relative position in the pelvis. The wall 403 of the tapered tubular aperture, generally between the cortical and the cancellous bone 406 (replaced in this section by the stem of the prothesis) is bored with a state-of-the-art milling machine. Prior to the actual boring, CAT or MRI scans have established the critical dimensions of the cortical bone 405 and the cancellous bone 406. The cutting profile of the mill has been sized to remove as little of the cortical bone 405 as possible to conserve the natural strength of the femur 401 to avoid fractures in the event of a fall, and to provide maximum resistance of the interior cortical wall surface 407 against the action of expansion sleeve 408, as the drawbar (or stem) 409 is pulled upward and snugly seats the flexible tapered members 408 against the cortical bone interior wall 407.
The expansion sleeve (tapers) 408 has an oxidized coarse exterior and a smooth hardened interior. Stem 409 is of nitro-oxy diffusion hardened all over for wear resistance with ductility and endurance.
1. Bore Femur 401 to proper diameter and depth;
2. Position assembly 400 to desired depth and rotation;
3. Tighten nut 410 to pull stem 409 down into femur 401;
4. Rotate support ring 411 to engage top of femur 401; and
5. Engage lockring 412 in aligned holes.
1. Remove top cover 413;
2. Remove pull-rod nut 410;
3. Install extractor into top cover thread;
4. Rotate extractor to disengage tapers 406; and
5. Remove assembly 400 from femur 401.
A femoral structure may be strong but the canal may not be straight, requiring that portions of the reamed tubular canal depart from the entry centerline. With this apparatus and method, using a short-length milling cutter, such curved paths can be negotiated to preserve the maximum strength of the cortical bone 405.
It may also be necessary to anticipate and prevent cracking of the bone when the cortical femoral bone is relatively thin. One of the advantages of this invention is that it reduces the pressure against any small area of bone by spreading the securing force over a broad area, an effective method of assuring that no looseness will develop between the prothesis and the femur. There are reports that this looseness and the resultant feeling of insecurity and unsteadiness can make patients reluctant to attempt walking. It is an object of this invention to eliminate this possibility by the improved method and apparatus disclosed.
Virtually all mechanical connecting devices shown are solely illustrative examples appropriate for the need. Other variations will occur to those skilled in these mechanical arts, the application of which do not affect the claims of this invention.

Even if the glitches are keeping you from enrolling in healthcare coverage, there are ways to be prepared for when the website is eventually fixed.
Tom Alger of the Iowa Insurance Commission hears the concerns of people applying for healthcare coverage through the online marketplace.
"The biggest stumbling block seems to be at the creation of an account," said Alger.
Without an account, you can't determine what tax credits you're eligible for which makes it more difficult to determine how much you'll pay for coverage when you begin to shop around.
"If people were just able to get on and find what the plans were and costs were that would be good information for them," said Alger.
The website hasn't allowed many people to sign up for healthcare coverage, but it can help you get the ball rolling the old-fashioned way.
On HealthCare.gov, you can find the phone number to the call center and download the paper application to see what credits you may be eligible for.
Once you know what credits you're eligible for, there are people to help you find the right plan for you.
Linda Clausen works for Visiting Nurses Services of Iowa, an organization that is training navigators that starting in November can help answer your healthcare questions.
"They'll be able to respond to requests over the phone. They'll be able to come out to communities and answer questions people have and get them signed up for service," said Clauson.
You can find more than 30 organizations offering application assistance by clicking the "get in person help in your community" link on HealthCare.gov.
"We're going to be able to help you once we get our legs under us and we'll answer your questions," said Clauson.

Demolition begins on former home of St. Mary's School of Nursing
HUNTINGTON — Demolition began Wednesday on a building with more than six decades of history on the campus of St. Mary's Medical Center.
The building, which most recently had been labeled the Professional Center, was the former home of the St. Mary's School of Nursing and housed classrooms, a chapel and living quarters throughout its 66-year history.
"I think all of us who lived there for a number of years saw it as home, and it is sad to watch it come down. I stood watching the wrecking ball early this morning and it was not easy," said Sister Diane Bushee, who has been at St. Mary's since the 1950s. "It is exciting, though, to think about the future, and will be much better in the long run."
The former School of Nursing building had been dormant for a number of years, but housed the Schools of Nursing, Radiography and Respiratory from 1947 to 2009. Those programs were relocated into St. Mary's Center for Education on the 5th Avenue campus in 2009.
The demolition, expected to take 10 to 12 weeks, is one part of an overall campus beautification project underway on the medical center's campus that is expected to take the remainder of the year and cost approximately $2 million.
Tim Parnell, St. Mary's vice president of support services, planning and development, said the hospital's administration worked with architects and developers on other potential uses for the building. Due to the building's age, infrastructure and adherence to current building codes, plans to reuse the building were not feasible.
"The outside walls have three layers of brick, and the building was going to be very difficult to try to renovate, so we finally reached the conclusion it would be too expensive to try and that the best thing would be to go ahead and demolish it," Bushee said.
Parnell added that the project is an investment in the overall improvement of the campus and the entire Highlawn area.
"The demolition and removal of the old School of Nursing is just the first phase in our campus beautification effort. Right now, all you see is a sea of asphalt, so we're going to be adding a lot of landscaping and green space as well as addressing some of the issues with the city in terms of water runoff," Parnell said. "We're doing a lot of things we think our neighbors and the city will find beneficial."
In addition to building demolition, other components of the beautification project include replacing the canopy and driveway at the hospital's main entrance, resurfacing the parking areas and adding additional landscaping and green space.
Parnell said because the medical center campus is landlocked, the space made possible by the demolition could be used for additional campus development in the future.

Passion? Who were you watching? Zero effort on defense. Best stats for least effort I've seen.
why does no one in the media ever mention James' inability or unwillingness to play defense?
Andy has to play more minutes at center; being too small, Andy fouls more,
plays less, defense and rebounding suffer badly. Big center needed. If z doesn't come back, trouble at the big for cavs.
So many very weak teams. So easy to get disinterested. NBA has a problem.
according to today's WSJ average NFL game has 11 minutes of actual play per game. Yes 11.
Jesme's ego keeps getting in the team's way. It's that simple.
I am not surprised by James, he is a total ass, but I am embarrassed for the team and Cleveland, that portion of it anyway that remains with some class.
he still has no class
I am ashamed and embarrassed for James
Does anyone honestly believe James' comments were not self serving?
Like everything else he does.
It is sad that anyone cares about his ego trips.
I find this team better than ambien.
the no flow offense has gotten slower
it's all an ego trip, He can't get enough of himself.
they are clearing room for Halladay and rivera
Because James' ego is so huge it is more susceptible to injury
I think we have a chance of making the playoffs if Shaq gives us five minutes a game and hits his free throws
skyerball has it correct. Andy covers for so many on defense. Especially no D LB.
I like shaq as an interview

Joseph Banks was a man of science, international affairs and letters. How did his pioneering work in botany change the face of our planet?
Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820).
Joseph Banks was a British explorer and naturalist, and one of the great men of his age. As long-time President of the Royal Society he steered the course of British science for the first part of the 19th century.
His home, with its unrivalled collection of plants and books, became one of the scientific and social centres of Georgian London.
Watch this video to get an insight into Banks and his motivation for collecting plants. For him it was more than a way of understanding the natural world.
Banks saw slavery and the movement of plants as economics. Find out why his collections are not only useful to science but also invaluable for learning about our colonial past.
For a more detailed look at Banks's life read the Work and Timeline sections, and discover why he was one of the most influential men of his time.

Born in 1743 to a wealthy family, Joseph Banks possessed a passion for botany that became apparent at a young age and lasted his entire life. After studying at Oxford University, Banks inherited his father's fortune and made his first voyage of discovery aged just 23. He travelled to Newfoundland and Labrador to collect plants, animals and rocks.
Two weeks after his return, Banks was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1768 he joined the Society's expedition, led by James Cook, to discover the uncharted lands of the South Pacific. They circumnavigated the globe, on board the HMS Endeavour, visiting South America, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia and Java. En route, Banks accumulated a huge treasure trove of plant and animal specimens.
Returning home in 1771, the adventurers were hailed as heroes - especially Banks, with his exciting accounts of Maori warriors and exotic animals. The following year he led Britain's first scientific expedition to Iceland, but this was the last of his voyages.
Conditions on board were not always luxurious;
'Our bread indeed is but indifferent, occasioned by the quantity of Vermin that are in it, I have seen hundreds nay thousands shaken out of a single bisket.'
'[the] collection of plants was…grown so immensely large that it was necessary that some extraordinary care should be taken of them least they should spoil…'
Banks settled in London, and assembled an enormous library and herbarium at his home in Soho Square. His unique collections, energy and knowledge put him at the heart of Georgian scientific and social life for over five decades. His house was open to anyone, on introduction, who wished to examine his plants and books. Banks also maintained a network of correspondence with friends and associates all over the world. Through his letters he helped to further knowledge, and ultimately to shape the advancement of the British Empire.
In 1778 Banks was elected President of the Royal Society. He held this position for the remainder of his life - a record 41 years. As President, Banks fostered good relations between scientists across Europe and America, despite this being a time of political turmoil and conflict between nations. Banks was a founder member of numerous other important societies, many of which survive today. These include the Linnean Society, the Royal Institution and the Horticultural Society.
Banks was also unofficial director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, which flourished under his care to become one of the best botanical gardens in the world. He dispatched explorers and botanists around the globe, looking for economically useful species that could be grown on British lands. One voyage he helped arrange was William Bligh's infamous trip on HMS Bounty, now better known for its mutiny. Bligh's mission had been to collect breadfruit from Tahiti for cultivation as a food source in the West Indies. By transplanting species between countries and continents, Banks changed entire landscapes.
Banks also influenced affairs of state, acting as adviser to successive governments and King George III. During the Napoleonic Wars he acted on behalf of the people of Iceland when they were deprived of trading rights by the British. He also championed the British colonisation of Australia. Somewhat less admirably he advocated making Botany Bay - one of his most fruitful finds in the Antipodes - a penal settlement. His vision never materialised because the officers in charge of the First Fleet, which transported the first batch of convicts, decided the location was unsuitable and settled further up the coast.
The specimens Banks collected accounted for approximately 110 new genera and 1,300 new species. Some 75 different species bear his name, as do a group of islands near Vanuatu in the Pacific and a peninsula in New Zealand. A suggestion was made to name Australia 'Banksia', but was not adopted.
Banks's famous plant collection is now held at the Museum, along with insects and shells that he acquired throughout his life. These are all still valued research tools, as well as important historical artefacts.
However, perhaps the most important legacy left by Banks is the many plants that he discovered and exchanged between the Old World and the New.

Bluefin Ban Voted Down
If you are a sushi lover with a preference for bluefin tuna, my advice is to eat up during the next couple years because the ocean's most iconic fish is destined for extinction. (The World Wildlife Fund predicts all bluefin will be gone by 2012; currently we – mostly the Japanese – take 1 million of the big fish each year, out of a total population of 3.75 million, impossible numbers for the fish to adequately reproduce.)
There had been hope this week at a U.N. meeting of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) that bluefin might be added to the endangered species list, slowing its commercial viability. But today, with the EU opting out of voting (scared to put its tuna fishermen out of business, even after France had intimated it would vote for the ban) and the Japanese pressuring hard, the listing was voted down 68-20. (View a clip from our film-in-progress, "In Pursuit of the Last Bluefin.")
David Jolly's report in the NYT: Efforts to ban international trade in bluefin tuna and polar bears were rejected Thursday by a United Nations conference on endangered species, as delegates in Doha, Qatar refused to back the U.S.-backed measures.
A proposal by Monaco to extend the highest level of U.N. protection to the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin, a fish prized by sushi lovers for its fatty belly flesh, failed by a lopsided vote of 20-68, with 30 abstentions, Juan Carlos Vasquez, a spokesman for the U.N. organization, said.
"It wasn't a very good day for conservation," Mr. Vasquez said. "It shows the governments are not ready to adopt trade bans as a way to protect species."
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora counts 175 member governments, though far fewer were represented for the votes in Doha. European Union nations, whose fleets are most responsible for the overfishing of the bluefin, abstained from voting.
The rejection was a defeat for environmentalists and a clear victory for the Japanese government, which had vowed to go all out to stop the measure. Japan, which consumes more than three-quarters of the Mediterranean bluefin catch, argued that the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, or Iccat, an intergovernmental organization, should be responsible for regulating the stock, not the United Nations.
While there is near-universal agreement that bluefin stocks are in danger, Japan's argument resonated with other fishing nations, which were uneasy about what would have marked the first intrusion by the convention into a major commercial fishery.
But an independent review commissioned by Iccat shows that its own record on managing the fish" is widely regarded as an international disgrace." The agency has presided over more than two-thirds decline in the stock since 1970 — with much of that drop coming in just the last decade with the onset of huge industrial fishing operations and tuna "ranching." And while the organization, which has no effective enforcement mechanism, has the authority to set quotas, year after year it has set the catch above the level that its own scientists say is safe to ensure the health of the species.
Susan Lieberman, director of international policy for the Pew Environment Group, said Thursday's vote was " an unfortunate step backwards." She added: "This deeply disappointing and irresponsible vote signals a bleak future for this iconic fish."
This is the second time Japan has defeated a proposal at the conference to protect the bluefin. A similar proposal by Sweden failed at 1992 UN convention in Kyoto. While the bluefin vote was held by secret ballot, Japanese officials said this week that China and South Korea also opposed the measure, and Canada openly opposed it.
In a joint statement, Janez Potocnik, the European environment commissioner and Maria Damanaki, the commissioner for maritime affairs and fisheries, said they were "disappointed" with the outcome, and called for Iccat to "take its responsibility to ensure that stocks are managed in a sustainable way." If no action is taken, they warned, "there is a very serious danger that the bluefin tuna will no longer exist."

D.C. arts advocates tell city that every dollar counts
The D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities yesterday released its FY2011 list of grantees, with funds going to arts groups large (Shakespeare Theatre, National Building Museum) and small (Nicole Aguirre for Worn Magazine, School Sculptures with Kevin Reese). It's a long list, but Rob Bettmann, chair of the D.C. Advocates for the Arts, wishes it could be a little longer and a lot more flush with cash. Bettmann and his board work to increase public funding for the arts, but working on a shoestring budget themselves, they've found a cost-free way to show the DCCAH the impact of their grants: Social media
"The strategy in these difficult economic times was, spread the money more broadly in order to have the biggest impact possible," says Bettmann.
This means that there are many grants awarded, but often for less than what the grantee applied for. But even those small grants are in danger, says Bettmann, because arts funding is considered to be an "easy cut."
"They think it doesn't have an impact," he says.
Bettmann has created a Facebook group called "D.C. Commission Grantees" and has posted a request that members post what their grant means to them. "We are trying to find a few examples to show what 2k, 5k, 7k, 12k etc in DCCAH grants returns to the city. If you're a good example -- please share it here."
Some of this year's grantees who have previously received city funding have already posted about the difference that just a few thousand dollars can make.
"Artists from the Folger Shakespeare Library's "Shakespeare Steps Out" program and DC students have explored Shakespeare's plays through hands-on activities, games, and performance that bring Will's words and world alive ... for our community's youngest learners. It couldn't have happened without DCCAH grants," says Garland Scott, for the Folger Shakespeare Library, which is the recipient of 2011 funding. Katherine Jordan, the recipient of a Young Artist Grant for next year, posted that she premiered her new trio, "Charged Intuition" at the Eureka Dance Festival thanks to the DCCAH.
Bettmann and his board will continue to work with the city, especially in the coming months as the new mayor determines the budget.
"If we don't make a strong case for the impact of every dollar, they think they can just keep cutting," says Bettmann.

Product description
This book offers a detailed political history of Rhodes from the foundation of the Rhodian republic in the fifth century B.C. to the conclusions of Rhodes' alliance with Rome in the second, a period in which Rhodes was a major Mediterranean power. Richard M. Berthold provides a complete account of Rhodian foreign affairs, exploring the principles and reasons behind Rhodes' foreign policy decisions. He traces Rhodes' history through the stormy years of the fourth century to the independence and prosperity of the third, arguing that Rhodes achieved economic and political success by pursuing a course of studied neutrality. Berthold maintains that Rhodes did not willfully abandon its neutral stance during the second century, but rather was forced by events to support Rome, a posture that ultimately led to Rhodes' loss of independence.

Review quote
"Professor Berthold's book is an excellent piece of work: he has successfully coped with the problems facing every historian of ancient Greece, and succeeds in viewing events from the perspective of Rhodes itself. His clear and thoughtful analysis of Rhodian action makes the book a substantial contribution to an active and promising area of current Greek scholarship." Stanley M. Burstein, California State University, Los Angeles"

Healthcare policy consulting for Avalere Health, located in Washington, DC.
Professional Interests:
Continuing my cancer research, at a yet to be determined location.
Why did you choose UNC's Cancer Care Quality Training Program (CCQTP)?
CCQTP is a perfect fit for me as it facilitates access to renowned UNC cancer faculty as well as provides generous support for my research studies. The coursework aligns with my research interests and I enjoy sharing ideas and spending time with the other CCQTP trainees.
In one sentence, describe your experience at UNC.
Deciding to complete my PhD at UNC is one of the best professional decisions that I have made!
What has been the most valuable piece of knowledge you have learned in the CCQTP to date?
Through the CCQTP coursework I have learned how to be a better researcher. I have not only learned how to conceptualize a unique and interesting research topic, but I have also learned how to put together a strong proposal.
Why does the CCQTP format work for you?
There is enough structure so I do not feel like I have to complete my dissertation research alone, but enough flexibility so I can focus on what is most interesting to me. There is a tremendous amount of support from both faculty and staff.
Describe a typical term.
Each term has been very different. It depends on if you need to take any of the required courses. I had completed the courses before beginning CCQTP, so most of my terms have been focused on completing my dissertation as well as pursuing my other research interests.
What do you like best about the CCQTP?
There is a great sense of comradery in the program, among both faculty and trainees. I also like the flexibility of the program and the ability to focus on what interests me the most.
Describe the interaction you have with the faculty in the CCQTP.
My interactions with faculty have been very positive. The faculty has been more than willing to help with anything that I need. My mentoring team is supportive of my dissertation research and working with them has been extremely easy. I have found that faculty are willing to work together to get the best results.
How do you manage your time—work/family/school balance?
CCQTP allows for maximum flexibility. I complete a lot of my work at home, so I am able to work the hours that fit best for me and my family. When I was taking courses I spent most days on campus, working more typical business hours, but now that I am more focused on research I work both at campus and at home.
What is the greatest value added from the CCQTP?
The support and ability to focus on cancer topics that are most interesting to me. Everyone is willing to work with you to customize and make the experience most beneficial to you.
Is there anything you would like to tell a prospective student about the CCQTP?
It has been a great experience. The support and mentorship has allowed me to flourish as a junior researcher and it is an excellent program to start your career!
What are your plans and goals after the CCQTP?
I am planning to continue my current research on cancer clinical trial enrollment. I am considering either completing a post-doc or going to work at a contract research firm. I am keeping my options open. I know no matter where I go or what I do, CCQTP has positioned me well and has been a great place to start my career.

Comments about Mapex MPX Steel Snare Drum:
This snare has one of the best sounds I have ever heard...for about 4 months. This snare is not durable AT ALL, if you want something to last I would not recommend you get this. I used it for a about 4 months and the hoop deformed and now it does not sound pretty at all. I would not recommend you get this unless you really really really take care of your drums and watch them very closely.
Comments about Mapex MPX Steel Snare Drum:
So I had high hopes for this snare mostly because it was so costly compared with other ones. I would think twice about ordering at full price. Mainly because the one I got had some metal chipped off on the inside of the drum mainly in the bed. I will keep it because I got it at a deal and the sound is not that bad with stock heads so Im guessing with some remo or evans and pureound wires this thing will sound beastly.

"Residing" suggests we merely inhabit an address, a kind of cold, lifeless state; "living" suggests we are alive in a community, a warm, comforting state. It's the difference between feeling "outside of" or "apart from" as opposed to feeling "in" and "a part of" a place.
How do we more fully "live" a place, though? It's not a thing that happens without effort for anyone anywhere. Regardless of your location, you still have to make it your own and feel it's yours. So how do we do it?
I think first, we acknowledge the obvious: it doesn't happen by accident. We all have to make an effort to create a life. We (those of use in the "Decatur-business," which could be everyone) have to work at building the means for people to connect, to set roots, and to feel "in." And while being able to buy a house for less here than in Atlanta or Seattle is important, the price of a house alone doesn't build a sense of belonging. It takes more than a house to feel you're home.
So what are our best "feeling-alive-in-our-community" assets? What about Decatur can connect people to people, and people to activities that bring them a quality life? I'll start small: children. On this front, we have good starts. The Children's Museum of Central Illinois is an obvious asset. An asset, too, is our new effort to improve education. Other assets are our corporate residents. ADM, Caterpillar, and Tate & Lyle figure prominently in the mix, as do all the small-businesses that fuel our economy. Our educational institutions are also keys. RCC and Millikin University give us many added advantages. The Park District also contributes to our attractiveness (have you compared the cost of playing golf here versus Springfield or seen the programs for young people?).
Even with all these advantages, though, much of our "conversation" comes back to the notion that "there's something missing here." We can't get past feeling that we don't "live in a great place." This view comes across in odd dialogue, and sounds like "well, yes, I live in Decatur, but only because that's where my job is…we'll be moving soon…we are gone most weekends traveling anyway…we spend a lot of time in Chicago." Again, these resound a kind of "I reside there, but don't live there" theme.
I think more than any single business or amenity, what's missing is our collective will to live here, without apology, and to contribute to making here, where we live, alive. What's "missing" is us.

Ordered carryout. Fettuccine alfredo was prepped fresh when I arrived. This was hands down the best Italian carryout I have ever ordered. Restaurant atmosphere looked very nice, wish we had opted for dining in instead of carryout as it would have been even better! I highly recommend this restaurant.
Posted by The Buffalo NY crew on 03/28/2014
Many authentic selections, when you are use to excellent home made Italian food not a lot of restaurants can compare but this one did! Heather was our server and she was excellent. Fell in love with Balsmic Chicken and the owner gave me the recipe. We went back a second time.

We came in about 2pm. I ordered a seafood Pizza. They didn't have it on the menu, but they made an extra large for me anyway. It had shrimp, calamari, oysters and anchovies on it with a tomato sauce that had a good Italian seasoning to it. I asked for a side of garlic and olive oil to dip my crust in. Thought I died and went to heaven it was so good. Brought it back to my condo and had it the next day, still fantastic.

For the past 10 years my wife and I stopped in for a great dinner at this restaurant. This time we ordered our usual dishes and it was obvious when they arrived that something had changed. My wife returned her chicken marsala and I grudgingly finished my veal parmesan even though it was pounded so thin is was like leather. Server saw we were not happy and ended up not charging my wife and apologized asking if she could get my wife a different dish. She declined. I asked if the ownership had changed since last year and was told "No". I gave a tip based on what the bill would have been had we had no problem but I will never return to that establishment.

DNA swab tests fast-tracked as new names emerge in hunt for killer of Melanie Road
Posted: June 12, 2014|
Police are fast-tracking swab tests after being given new possible names for the killer of 17-year-old Bath schoolgirl Melanie Road.
Detectives say they have been "heartened" by the public response to their 30th anniversary appeal to solve the 1984 murder.
The team investigating the brutal killing are now carrying out urgent DNA swab tests on the new "people of interest" amid high hopes of a vital breakthrough.
A high profile campaign in last week's Bath Chronicle, which included an emotional letter from Melanie's mother Jean, who is now 79, prompted a surge in people coming forward with information about the crime.

Potential witnesses who were out in Bath on the night of the murder emerged and detectives have also been given the new names of men that people have had their suspicions about.
The fact that the police have a full DNA profile of Melanie's killer means they can now quickly "implicate or eliminate" those suspects.
Det Insp Julie Mackay, who is leading the investigation, said they were working as fast as they could on the new information.
She said: "These are names that were in our system, so we were going to investigate and swab them eventually, but this has meant they have been shunted to the top of the list.
"We can now go out and swab these people so we can quickly implicate or eliminate them."
She said the names were a mixture of people still living in Bath and those who had moved away from the area.
It is hoped that the DNA results will be back from the forensic lab in three to four weeks.
The thorough nature of the original police investigation in 1984 means today's detectives have files on 12,000 men who were living in or visiting Bath on the night of the murder.
So far Det Insp Mackay's team have DNA swapped almost half of those, but still have around 6,000 more to get through.
She added: "Anybody who was in Bath 30 years ago remembers this crime as if it was yesterday, they remember it very, very clearly.
"And the letter from Melanie's mum, which was released last week, has generated a lot of emotion. Her family live close by and people want to help.
"This is all very encouraging for us. We are really pleased that these people have taken the time to pick up the phone or email us about what they know."
She added that if anyone had already been in touch with the police with a name but had not yet heard back, to be patient because detectives were now carrying out background inquiries on new information.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Operation Rhodium team on 101, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 or visit www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/tellus.

Summary: ''During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives. An equivalent proportion of today's population would be six million. This Republic of Suffering explores the impact of this enormous death toll from every angle: material, political, intellectual, and spiritual. Drew Gilpin Faust delineates the ways death changed not only individual lives but the life of the nation and its understanding of the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. She describes how survivors mourned and how a deeply religious culture struggled to reconcile the slaughter with its belief in a benevolent God, pondered who should die and under what circumstances, and reconceived its understanding of life after death.'' ''Throughout, the voices of soldiers and their families, of statesmen, generals, preachers, poets, surgeons, and nurses, of northerners and southerners, slaveholders and freedpeople, of the most exalted and the most humble are brought together to give us a vivid understanding of the Civil War's most fundamental and widely shared reality.''--BOOK JACKET. ...show moreSummary: ''During the war, approximately 620,000 soldiers lost their lives.

Preface: The work of death Mortality defines the human condition. ''We all have our deadwe all have our Graves,'' a Confederate Episcopal bishop observed in an 1862 sermon. Every era, he explained, must confront ''like miseries''; every age must search for ''like consolation.'' Yet death has its discontinuities as well. Men and women approach death in ways shaped by history, by culture, by conditions that vary over time and across space. Even though ''we all have our dead,'' and even though we all die, we do so differently from generation to generation and from place to place.[1] In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a war that would presage the slaughter of World War I's Western Front and the global carnage of the twentieth century. The number of soldiers who died between 1861 and 1865, an estimated 620,000, is approximately equal to the total American fatalities in the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, and the Korean War combined. The Civil War's rate of death, its incidence in comparison with the size of the American population, was six times that of World War II. A similar rate, about 2 percent, in the United States today would mean six million fatalities. As the new southern nation struggled for survival against a wealthier and more populous enemy, its death toll reflected the disproportionate strains on its human capital. Confederate men died at a rate three times that of their Yankee counterparts; one in five white southern men of military age did not survive the Civil War.[2] But these military statistics tell only a part of the story. The war killed civilians as well, as battles raged across farm and field, as encampments of troops spread epidemic disease, as guerrillas ensnared women and even children in violence and reprisals, as draft rioters targeted innocent citizens, as shortages of food in parts of the South brought starvation. No one sought to document these deaths systematically, and no one has devised a method of undertaking a retrospective count. The distinguished Civil War historian James McPherson has estimated that there were fifty thousand civilian deaths during the war, and he has concluded that the overall mortality rate for the South exceeded that of any country in World War I and that of all but the region between the Rhine and the Volga in World War II. The American Civil War produced carnage that has often been thought reserved for the combination of technological proficiency and inhumanity characteristic of a later time.[3] The impact and meaning of the war's death toll went beyond the sheer numbers who died. Death's significance for the Civil War generation arose as well from its violation of prevailing assumptions about life's proper endabout who should die, when and where, and under what circumstances. Death was hardly unfamiliar to mid-nineteenth-century Americans. By the beginning of the 1860s the rate of death in the United States had begun to decline, although dramatic improvements in longevity would not appear until late in the century. Americans of the immediate prewar era continued to be more closely acquainted with death than are their twenty-first century counterparts. But the patterns to which they were accustomed were in significant ways different from those the war would introduce. The Civil War represented a dramatic shift in both incidence and experience. Mid-nineteenth-century Americans endured a high rate of infant mortality but expected that most individuals who reached young adulthood would survive at least into middle age. The war took young, healthy men and rapidly, often instantly
Praise for Drew Gilpin Faust'sThis Republic of Suffering ''Extraordinary . . . profoundly moving.'' Geoffrey C. Ward,The New York Times Book Review ''It's a shattering history of the war, focusing exclusively on death and dyinghow Americans prepared for death, imagined it, risked it, endured it and worked to understand it.'' Jon Wiener,LA Times Book Review ''Faust is particularly qualified to identify and explain the complex social and political implications of the changing nature of death as America's internecine conflict attained its full dimensions.'' Ian Garrick Mason,San Francisco Chronicle ''This Republic of Sufferingis one of those groundbreaking histories in which a crucial piece of the past, previously overlooked or misunderstood, suddenly clicks into focus.'' Malcolm Jones,Newsweek ''Faust is a first-rate scholar who yanks aside the usual veil of history to look narrowly at life's intimate level for new perspectives from the past. She focuses on ordinary lives under extreme duress, which makes for compelling reading.'' Don Oldenburg,USA Today ''The beauty and originality of Faust's book is that it shows how thoroughly the work of mourning became the business of capitalism, merchandised throughout a society.'' Adam Gopnik,The New Yorker ''Fascinating, innovative . . . Faust returns to the task of stripping from war any lingering romanticism, nobility or social purpose.'' Eric Foner,The Nation ''Having always kept the war in her own scholarly sights, Faust offers a compelling reassertion of its basic importance in society and politics alike.'' Richard Wrightman Fox,Slate ''[An] astonishing new book.'' Adam Kirsch,The New York Sun ''A moving work of social history, detailing how the Civil War changed perceptions and behaviors about death. . . . An illuminating study.'' Kirkus ''Penetrating . . . Faust exhumes a wealth of material . . . to flesh out her lucid account. The result is an insightful, often moving portrait of a people torn by grief.'' Publishers Weekly ''No other generation of Americans has encountered death on the scale of the Civil War generation.This Republic of Sufferingis the first study of how people in both North and South coped with this uniquely devastating experience. How did they mourn the dead, honor their sacrifice, commemorate their memory, and help their families? Drew Gilpin Faust's powerful and moving answers to these questions provide an important new dimension to our understanding of the Civil War.'' James M. McPherson, author ofThis Mighty Scourge: Perspectives on the Civil War ''During the Civil War, death reached into the world of the living in ways unknown to Americans before or since. Drew Gilpin Faust follows the carnage in all its aspects, on and off the battlefield. Timely, poignant, and profound,This Republic of Sufferingdoes the real work of history, taking us beyond the statistics until we see the faces of the fallen and understand what it was to live amid such loss and pain.'' Tony Horwitz,Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War ''Drew Gilpin Faust has used her analytical and descriptive gifts to explore how men and women of the Civil War generation came to terms with the conflict's staggering human toll. Everyone who reads this book will come away with a far better under

A commission I received from French Food Magazine Fricote, the brief was to illustrate a double page spread to act as the title for an article on Sport and Food with space at the bottom for text. I came up with the idea to create an image that looked as if it had been flung up into the air above the introductory paragraphs. The type was hand-drawn and vectorized to create the impression of movement, the objects were all digitally drawn.
