"The cards came printed on heavy paper and the colors were bright and fun. I ordered them for my daughter's birthday. Everyone that saw them loved them. The picture on the card made them even better. I would buy from tiny prints again."
"Beautiful card and I'm always impressed with the turn around time of Tiny Prints. So wonderful for a busy mother who is running behind on birthday planning"
"Ordered these for our daughters first birthday. They came earlier than expected! They are absolutely adorable. High quality paper and print. They could be mistaken for a boutique quality or high end "custom" invites. I am very picky so ordering these without seeing and feeling them made me nervous but for the price I decided to take a risk. WELL WORTH IT. If you like the design and are hesitating like I was, DONT be! :-) Just order them --you won't be disappointed."
"I ordered these invites for our daughters first birthday and was thrilled with how they came out. This is the second time I have used Tiny Prints and the results are outstanding. The quality of the paper and the clarity of the image are brilliant and everybody loved both the birth announcement and invite. Thank you Tiny Prints, I happily recommend you to my family and friends and will continue to do so. Regards Casey Butterworth"
"I ordered this print for my daughter's first birthday. I was very pleased with the final product once it arrived. I'm glad the description let me know the gold glittery design on the bottom was not actually glitter, which I preffered anyways, because real glitter can get messy. This is not the first time I have ordered prints from this company. I love them and will difinately order prints for my future occations. They are awesome."

At a Congressional subcommittee hearing Friday that one Republican has criticized as "a joke," Comedy Central show host Stephen Colbert will provide "serious" testimony about migrant farm workers, a spokesperson for the subcommittee chairperson told Fox Business.
Colbert is one of four witnesses scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee, at hearing titled "Protecting America's Harvest," according to the committee website.
Colbert's appearance stems from his recent participation in the "Take Our Jobs" campaign launched in June by United Farm Workers of America.
The campaign invites people to apply for farm jobs posted by state jobs banks. It is designed to rebut critics who charge undocumented agriculture laborers are taking jobs from American citizens at a time of high U.S. unemployment. According to the UFW, government statistics show that since the late 1990s, at least 50% of the crop workers have not been authorized to work legally in the U.S.
"The effort spotlights the immigrant labor issue and underscores the need for reforms without which the domestic agricultural industry could be crippled, leading to more jobs moving off shore," the UFW said in June. "Farm workers are ready to welcome citizens and legal residents who wish to replace them in the field. We will use our knowledge and staff to help connect the unemployed with farm employers."
In July, in an interview with UFW president Arturo Rodriguez on his program, The Colbert Report, Colbert agreed to work as a laborer in the campaign. Colbert was scheduled to air a report on his experience, at a farm in upstate New York, on his show tonight, the UFW said. Rodriguez is also a witness at the Friday hearing.
Colbert was joined at the farm by the subcommittee's chairperson, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA). Colbert interviewed her for a report that aired on his show Wednesday.
Pedro Ribeiro, Lofgren's spokesperson, said Lofgren extended Colbert an invitation to testify after she met him at the farm. He said the subcommittee had received Colbert's written testimony, which he described as "serious."
Ribeiro added that Colbert was appearing at his own expense; that the hearing is one a series on the issue of migrant workers, and that Colbert's participation will not generate any additional cost to the subcommittee because the session would have proceeded without him.
A spokesman for the subcommittee's senior Republican, Rep. Steve King (R-IA), declined to comment on Colbert's appearance but said King would have an opening statement at the session.
According to FoxNews.com, one of King's fellow Republicans on the subcommittee, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), has criticized the hearing as "a joke."
"We have never, ever had a substantive discussion on any immigration issue ... and they're calling Colbert as their first guy?" Chaffetz told Fox News. "The meeting room will be packed. Everybody will want to get their picture taken with him and an autograph and what no, but we're not here to make Comedy Central look good. We do that all by ourselves."

Joie Manda Resigns as Def Jam President, Moving to Interscope
The Hollywood Reporter -- In a surprise announcement, Joie Manda has resigned as President of Def Jam Records to relocate back to Los Angeles. As part of his relocation, he will remain within the Universal Music Group family by joining Interscope Records as President of Urban Music. The announcement was made March 28 by Barry Weiss, president & CEO of UMG's East Coast Labels, and John Janick, president & COO of Interscope Geffen A&M. Manda will now report to Janick.
Manda was appointed president of Def Jam -- the label's first president since Jay-Z stepped down in 2007 -- just over a year ago.
"Despite having to move back to Los Angeles for personal reasons, I am truly grateful to Barry, John and Jimmy Iovine for this exciting new opportunity," Manda said in a statement. "I've learned a lot from Barry in the last year and am very appreciative of everything he has done for me. I am now looking forward to being part of the Interscope family, a company uniquely positioned for success despite this challenging marketplace."

"While we understand Joie's personal reasons for wanting to move back to Los Angeles, we're thankful for all of his contributions to Def Jam," Weiss said. "We wish him success in his new role at our sister label."
"Joie is an important part of the fabric of UMG, and I'm glad we were all able to work together to make this transition possible for him," said Janick. "I've known Joie for some time and I've always been impressed by his work ethic and instincts. He's going to play a big role in the future of Interscope."
Speaking with Billboard.biz on March 28, Manda said that his last day at Def Jam will be Friday and his first day at Interscope will be Monday, and said he's "excited to roll up my sleeves and get to work. They've done a great job with Kendrick Lamar and I'm really excited to build on that success."
Looking back over his year at Def Jam, he said that his personal highlight was Frank Ocean "talking about his sexuality in such a brave way, and us rallying around him as a company, I'm excited to work with an artist who broke barriers." He also noted that the label had three No. 1 albums during his tenure -- Rick Ross, Nas and 2 Chainz (inside just four weeks last summer), and singled out the latter's success as a particular highlight. "He and Kendrick are the breakout rap stories of the year."

Asked what his biggest disappointment was, Manda paused for a moment and then said, "Not getting to be here when a Kanye record was released. I've worked with him but not on releasing an album, and that's disappointing because I'm such a huge fan."
As for whether or not there will be a next president of Def Jam any time soon, he said he wasn't certain about Weiss' plans: "I guess I'm friendly competition now," he laughed. No plans for a new president were mentioned in the release, but a source close to the situation said that a new president eventually will be brought in.
Prior to joining Def Jam, Manda served as head of Urban Music for Warner Bros. Records, where he was involved in the signing of Common, Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group (Wale, Meek Mill), Waka Flocka Flame and Jill Scott, among others. He started at WMG as Executive Vice President of Asylum Records, starting when the label was revived in 2004 and signed Paul Wall and Bun B. Mr. Manda began his career in music as an artist manager.

Copies of both documents can be downloaded from Columbia University's Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) web site: http://www.ciesin.org/indicators/ESI.
The Environmental Sustainability Index consists of 20 indicators for 142 countries that track the relative success of five components: environmental systems, the reduction of environmental stresses, the reduction of human vulnerability, social and institutional capacities, and global stewardship. It evaluates current conditions, pressures on those conditions, human impacts, and social responses to those conditions in order to gauge the long-term prospects for sustainability. The first report presents data enabling cross-national comparisons, identifies areas in which national performance is above or below expectations, outlines priority policy areas within countries and regions, tracks environmental trends, provides quantitative assessment of the success of policies and programs, and provides data to support investigations into interactions between environmental and economic performances and the factors that influence environmental sustainability.
The Pilot Environmental Performance Index measures data in four main areas: air quality, water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and land protection at a national scale.

Intended as a starting point for planning the rebuilding of the World Trade Center, this report examines issues from New York City traffic patterns to future security issues. Among two dozen discussed trends in this volume are: the decrease in New York office leases since September 11, green building designs, and decentralization of Manhattan's financial district. The report also explains how shorter building designs could address emergency evacuation, traffic congestion, and security.
Assessment of Federal Terrorism Preparedness Training for State and Local Audiences. 2002. 62 pp. Free. The report can be found on FEMA's web site at http://www.fema.gov.
The current federal terrorism training effort is frequently fractionalized, redundant, and wasteful and leaves many of the needs of states and local communities unmet, according to this report prepared by FEMA at the request of Congress. The report includes a comprehensive accounting of federal terrorism preparedness training, an assessment of the effectiveness of the training, and recommendations on how to improve the system. Its conclusions focus primarily on emergency response aspects of federal terrorism preparedness training.
Communities involved in the assessment indicated that training is needed that focuses on interoperability among various response communities. Local officials said there is considerable confusion regarding operations requirements for dealing with a terrorist incident. City officials that participated in the study also said there is a need for large-scale disaster training focusing on command and logistics, special training for command personnel, and training courses on public information outreach in emergency and crisis situations.

An Evaluation of the Boulder Creek Local Flood Warning System. Eve Gruntfest, Kim Carsell, and Tom Plush. 2002. 100 pp. Copies of this report are available from the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, P.O. Box 7150, Colorado Springs, CO 80933; e-mail: email@example.com.
Boulder Creek in Boulder, Colorado, poses a high flash flood danger not only because of its physical characteristics, but because so many people work and live along its floodplain. Even if all aspects of the warning system set up to protect citizens worked perfectly, a flash flood might take many lives. This study, conducted to improve flood warnings, reviews the flood warning literature, provides a brief overview of the nationally recognized flash flood warning system in Boulder, reviews detection and warning practices in other communities with innovative flash flood warning operations, presents a survey of local emergency planning officials, describes an in-depth survey of floodplain residents along Boulder Creek, and reviews flash flood plans for several non-residential Boulder floodplain occupants. Recommendations from those conducting the study relate to public education, use of new technologies and education techniques, and the involvement of local businesses and schools in the warning system.
Mitigation Success Stories in the United States. Fourth Edition. 2002. 102 pp. Free. Copies can be downloaded from the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) web site: http://www.floods.org.
Since the 1980s, mitigation activities have been implemented throughout the U.S. to save lives and reduce property damage. In many cases, mitigation success has been achieved following devastating disasters, when local officials and the general public have realized the need to effect change in their community. Major recent efforts to reduce flood damage include programs such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance Program. Mitigation Success Stories IV, a joint effort between FEMA and the ASFPM, showcases mitigation activities, demonstrating the benefits of mitigation in 39 communities in 24 states. The examples presented in this document can be used by other communities and can provide decision makers with valuable information about how to achieve natural hazard reduction. Topics include flood control projects, elevation issues, acquisition efforts, floodproofing, and watershed management.
Dam Safety
Dam Removal: Science and Decision Making. 2002. 224 pp. Free. Single copies of the report can be requested from the Heinz Center, 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 735 South, Washington, DC 20004; (202) 737-6307; fax: (202) 737-6410; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Widespread interest in dam removal has been spurred by the aging of many dams, by evolving societal values, and by new scientific understanding of the changes brought by dams. Property owners, public utilities, state and local governments, and private citizens are faced with complex and difficult decisions, and they need guidance as they attempt to incorporate scientific information into the decision-making process regarding whether or not to remove dams. This report, the result of 18 months of research and deliberation by a panel of experts, outlines the current state of research on and experience with dam removal. It contains sections on the federal legal context, informed decisions, environmental outcomes, economic issues, and the social aspects of dam removal.
Success and Challenges: National Dam Safety Program 2002. Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO). 2002. 96 pp. Free. A limited number of copies are available by contacting the ASDSO, 450 Old Vine Street, Second Floor, Lexington, KY 40507-1544; fax: (859) 323-1958; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Success and Challenges highlights achievements realized as a result of the National Dam Safety Program Act of 1996, which expires in FY 2002. The National Dam Safety Program, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has fostered significant improvements in state dam safety programs and cooperation between state and federal programs. However, as the report points out, there is still much to be done to increase dam security, improve dam failure flood inundation maps, and develop more and better emergency action plans.

Understanding the relationship between people and wildland fire is crucial to how federal agencies respond, and, according to this research, an expanded program of social science research is needed for an accurate and comprehensive understanding. Burning Questions presents an interagency social science research plan for wildland fire management, commissioned by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group, which includes representatives from the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and the National Park Service. The plan covers evaluation of the harmful and beneficial effects of fire; social science research in the fields of anthropology, economics, geography, psychology, political science, and sociology; and interdisciplinary research. The three key elements of the plan are policy analysis, literature review, and needs assessment.

A Fond Farewell
Dave Butler, the Natural Hazards Center's long-time senior editor, web wizard, and notorious name-changer, has finally decided to hang up his hard drive and retire.
Dave began working at the center when the Natural Hazards Observer was still produced with a typewriter and rubber cement. He ushered our Information Dissemination Program into the 21st century by designing and constructing the Hazards Center's web site; writing and distributing Disaster Research, our electronic newsletter (which was a pioneering effort); contributing a substantial portion of the material found in each Natural Hazards Observer; and editing countless books, working papers, quick response reports, special publications, and whatever else required his erudite wit.
In addition, Dave has been a delight to work with, always willing to go the extra mile to increase the quality of the Hazards Center's products. He also served as a mentor, friend, and confidante to the many graduate students who have passed through the Hazards Center over the years.
Dave did it all with good humor and considerable editorial talent, and he will be greatly missed. We wish him good luck and best wishes for the future.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) -- A woman is suing a Syracuse, New York, dentist over a drill mishap.
Brandy Fanning says the dentist was dancing to the song "Car Wash" when the drill bit he was using got stuck in her sinus cavity. She says he was performing rhythmic steps to the song while doing an extraction.
The lawsuit says the inch-long drill bit punctured her sinus cavity and became lodged near her eye socket. The dentist was unable to remove it, and she spent three days in a hospital after having it surgically removed.
Fanning tells the Syracuse Post-Standard that she still suffers facial swelling, nerve damage and chronic infections from the 2004 incident.
The dentist, George Trusty, isn't commenting on the lawsuit, which seeks $600,000 for Fanning's medical bills and her pain and suffering.

I completed the Tour de l'Alberta! Even though I've done a heap of them, and even though I've done longer rides, there's just something satisfying about completing a century.
The Tour de l'Alberta was a very well run century. (Other rides I've done could take notes!) There were about 400 riders. In the interests of safety, riders were set off in bunches of about 25. The first set was lead out by a police car, and I believe at least one other police car followed after. We had a police escort for the first 7 or 8 kms. We spread out all over the road by that point, with the fast bunch way up ahead, and the slower ones back where I was.
The first rest stop was at about 25 kms ... it was a surprise to me that it was so early, but I was getting hungry so I helped myself to some of the piles of fruit they had available. That hit the spot as the day was already warming up.
Somewhere in here I had a cyclist ride up to me and ask me if I was training for an adventure race. No, not an adventure race ... a randonneuring event! Do you think my Carradice bag and handlebar bag gave it away? I also spent some time chatting with a guy who was using this ride (and other sports) as a training ride for a hike he and his wife are doing this coming December, up Mt Kilimanjaro.
The lunch stop was at 65 kms, and they served 4 different kinds of Subway sandwiches, plus a pile of fruit and veggies, plus a bag of chips (our choice of various kinds), plus a Subway cookie (our choice of various kinds). They also had numerous pitchers of cold iced tea sitting on a table as well as various kinds of fruit juice. Very good!!
While at the lunch stop, I chatted with some people I had met at the Nordegg ride I did a couple weeks ago. Very nice to see them again.
We had a bit of cloud cover all morning which kept the temperatures from going too high. But around lunch time, the clouds cleared off and for the next couple hours we were in blazing sun and the temperature on my thermometer reached 32 degrees. Fortunately a couple hours later more light cloud moved in, and the temperature dropped to about 28 degrees and remained there for the rest of the ride.
From that lunch stop the 100 km riders headed off in one direction, and the 100 mile riders headed the other direction. I don't think there were too many 100 mile riders because I rode basically solo after that point. There were a few other riders around, we would leap frog a bit, and I'd see some at the rest stops, but none actually rode with me. But that was OK ... I'm used to riding alone, and it was nice to see other cyclists around.
We had three more rest stops after that, and all were well stocked with fruit (mainly) and one with left over chips and cookies from the lunch stop. All were also well stocked with water and gatorade and one with fruit juice as well. Interestingly ... they somehow managed to keep the water cold most of the time. I'm not sure how they managed that. They used the same sort of large jugs I've seen on other rides in which water usually reaches somewhere near boiling point after about 2 hours of sitting in the sun. They must have kept the water in the shade or a cool place or something till it was needed (what a novel idea!).
I should also mention a few of the other services they provided ...
-- an ambulance followed us around out there ... nice to have medical services readily available.
-- two bicycle shops provided maintenance services, they had people located at every rest stop, and they also helped as sweep vehicles.
-- there was communication between the sweep vehicles and the rest stops so that everyone knew how many riders were still out there ... no one was abandoned out there. (I had about half a dozen people behind me who were all being tracked as to their whereabouts ... I was being tracked and checked on too)
-- the rest stops remained open until EVERYONE was through ... even the last few people. And the rest stops still had a good supply of food.
-- the start/finish area remained open until EVERYONE was in ... and everyone was offered hamburgers, muffins, cookies, chips, ice cream (and more fruit and veggies), as well as a choice of various cold beverages at the end of the ride.
-- riders were welcomed in at the finish and congratulated on a well-ridden ride. Even those of us at the back of the pack.
It's interesting how all those little things (mentioned above) work together to make a very good ride.
They also handed out souvenir waterbottles to everyone, and there was a prize draw for about 50 different prizes (I won a baseball cap).
The terrain just north of Edmonton is almost dead flat ... not quite ... Manitoba is dead flat, but this was close. I was really surprised. For some reason I thought the area would be like it is in Central Alberta - undulating. The area reminded me a lot of the area just south of Winnipeg ... it is a French area, like the area just south of Winnipeg, and flat, like the area just south of Winnipeg. It was also reminiscent of the Iowa/Illinois area around Le Claire, but not as hilly as that, and there were fields of canola rather than corn.
(Speaking of canola, I'm still sneezing. Blech! Canola is bad on it's own, but hot, sunbaked canola is just nasty ... and just about every field was a glaring yellow. I'd much rather have Iowa's corn!)
And so ... I finished the 170 kms (the ride was a little long) in 8 hours and 30 minutes! Not too bad ... for me. It was a really good ride.

Quickie Divorces, while less famous than their counterparts, quickie marriages, are inexpensive and relatively simple ways to split up on the fly. However they're not for everyone, so use caution when exploring these options.
Betty Draper headed to Nevada for a quickie divorce—and so can you. When both parties agree to all the issues and file a joint petition, a Nevada divorce can be granted in as little as a week. However, the petitioner has to be a resident of the state for at least six weeks prior to filing. Photo via Flickr: The Rohit
Getting a divorce in Guam—when both parties agree and sign a "consent to jurisdiction" form—can be finalized in as little as a few days without even leaving the U.S. The country technically has a 90-day residency requirement, but a series of statutory loopholes may get you over that hurdle. Because Guam is under U.S. jurisdiction, the divorce will be recognized in any of the fifty states. Photo via Flickr: Love Janine
A divorce in the Dominican Republic—which has no residency requirement—can be processed start-to-finish in as little as 24 hours, and only requires one party to attend the divorce hearing. However, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that unilateral Dominican divorces are invalid, and many states don't recognize mutual divorces filed there. Photo via Flickr: Bree Bailey
Online divorces are fast and much less expensive than traditional divorces. A typical online divorce preparation service filing an uncontested divorce with no children is about $300. (By comparison, an attorney might charge around $2,200 for the same service). After the paperwork has been filed, it is unlikely that the parties will have to appear in court, which speeds up the process. However, online divorces can be much more complicated when children or joint assets are involved. Photo via Flickr: billjacobus1
While Idaho, Montana, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wyoming, do not offer so-called "quickie" divorces, they have short waiting period before divorces become finalized—just 20 days. Other states' waiting periods (like New York's) can take up to a year.

I use a fork instead of a spoon so I eat slower instead of shoveling the food into my mouth.
Practice putting your fork or spoon down after every bite and try savoring the flavor of the food you are eating.
Put your fork or spoon down between each mouthful. Chew and swallow that bite before picking up your fork/spoon again. This allows your brain to recognize your "I'm full" signal more easily and definitely before you've eaten too much.
I was just going through a cup of plastic sliverware to find a fork. I kept pulling out spoons and knives. Then the second I asked out loud: "Where are the forks?", I pulled out TWO forks and laughed to myself. Oh the irony.

E.C. Listening: Eric Clapton's 50 Greatest Guitar Moments
E.C. Listening: Eric Clapton's 50 Greatest Guitar Moments
Clapton at 70: The 50 greatest guitar moments of Eric Clapton's five-decade career.
45. "Double Trouble"
Eric Clapton—Just One Night (1980)
Recorded in Japan in December 1979, Just One Night isn't exactly a firecracker of a live album.
Although the band is tight and gritty, the material is spotty, since the tour was supporting Clapton's low-spark 1978 album, Backless. Meanwhile, Clapton's tone can best be described as "Strat into amp. The end."
However, all of the above can't keep a good song down, and Clapton shines on his extended cover of Otis Rush's "Double Trouble." This minimalist masterpiece in C minor spotlights Clapton's dynamic monolog of a solo, one punctuated by pinch harmonics and a nearly flawless choice of notes.

I am seconding jasnpast's citing of "Go Back Home" from Stephen Still's 1st solo album. It's one of his top ten in my book and I'm flabbergasted that I've never seen it called out in the press. Not only is Clapton's solo superb, much better than the often cited "My Guitar Gently Weeps," but Stills' playing is fabulous. One of the great guitar moments from the era.
March 15, 2015 at 7:12am
Nice article, I was fortunate enough that I was at the Beacon 3/20/09 whith my son when Eric sat in with ABB for,most of the 2nd set and the encore. Haynes, Trucks, and Clapton blew the roof off of the place. I remember saying to my son, "take it all in cuz you'll never see this again"as Eric walked out onto the stage. Thanks for the article.
March 15, 2015 at 2:08am
A terrific article... I won't bother arguing about the rankings of Slowhand's solos, but I believe you have overlooked one of his very best solos; "Go Back Home" from Stephen Stills' eponymous 1970 solo album.
May 06, 2014 at 8:16am
The use of the term "Strat into amp. The end." indicates you think that is bad. Some of us love thats sound more than anything!
March 12, 2015 at 2:57pm
I don't think it's bad! In fact, I wish he'd go back to that sound in 2015. I just think that his sound at the time, combined with his 1978-era material, wasn't doing him any favors in terms of exciting his audience. I seriously thank you for reading and commenting on this story! — DF/GW
March 28, 2014 at 12:27pm
As far as 'Badge' goes, I had always heard it was named for the chord progression. I never took the time to actually work it out to see if that was true though...
March 28, 2014 at 4:17pm
Yikes. Nope, not at all. It's the "Clapton mis-reading the word 'bridge'" story, as mentioned in the article. the song is in A minor.
March 27, 2014 at 7:09pm
...Interestingly his contemporaries never had the same limelight, "Clapton is God" remember, that's a hard handle for anyone to bare... but oh how they all chased him like the wolves of hell, maybe not with the intent of capturing what he was seemingly leaving behind but with the inspiration that was driving all our early Hero's to be the best they could be, if you read through the annals of history, for the most part they all were friends...
...along comes the likes of Rory Gallagher, Peter Green, and a young Gary Moore, for all of us who gasped at the fact that Clapton was now singing and playing Reggae and Blues so from the center of where we knew he came from and then here is this group of young guitar slingers just tearing up the sound scape with a fresh and inspiring energy...carrying on the tradition that Clapton started and made all of us to this day appreciate him even more for...and with a great and cheerful yell...Rock on!

"While Tilman's thesis is directed to financial firms, the concept applies to all businesses. Failure to adopt a risk management strategic planning model will lead to extinction, hence the "Darwinism" in the title. Summing Up: Recommended." (Choice, April 2009)
"...Tilman couldn't have chosen a better time...clearly written and with plenty of rational advice for financial institutions" (City A.M., December 11th 2008)
"One of the book's merits is that he offers tables that provide taxonomies of business model transformation." (Financial World, February 2009)
"This book is highly recommended for finance professional sat all levels of an organization as well as investors desiring insights into how firms can weather the "tectonic shift" in the financial landscape. The terminology and models used should be within the grasp of anyone who has taken an undergraduate course in finance." (Journal of Corporate Finance and Accounting)
"[Tilman] sees much to be learned from the collective blindness that led to the economic meltdown. … says the first steps to recovery are humility and innovation" (Alpha magazine)
"This book offers a deeply thoughtful and well-reasoned analysis of what has gone wrong and the outlines of an eventual road to recovery." (Financial Executive International)
Financial Darwinism explores why and how financial firms must continuously evolve amidst genuine complexity and uncertainty in order to survive and remain competitive. It analyzes the strategic, investment, regulatory, and public policy implications of a "future that has already happened" and identifies actionable ways of putting new ideas into practice in risk-focused manner.
This book starts by introducing Dynamic Finance—and evolutionary thesis about the origins, the drivers, and the implications of the ongoing financial revolution. After examining how financial institutions used to create economic value in the past, Tilman offers a concise new risk-based approach to thinking about economic performance. He then develops a practical decision-making framework he calls Financial Darwinism that is designed to help financial institutions navigate the dynamic new world. Financial Darwinism—a blend of business strategy, corporate finance, investment analysis, and risk management—gives financial executives and investors a menu of broad choices on how to create economic value. In the process, a new kind of strategic vision, the breadth of global perspective, and command of advanced financial tools are shown to be essential ingredients of success.
This book is about change, and change is always difficult, indeed wrenching—institutions must be redesigned, outdated paradigms discarded, and corporate cultures redefined. However, the alternative—the Darwinian failure to evolve—is far more painful, particularly when capital markets, clients, and competitors beat you to the punch and make difficult choices for you. Financial Darwinism is an invaluable road map to the new financial order and an essential guide to adapting and succeeding in it.
