Goodbye, Blue: A Family's Loss of a Beloved Animal Companion
After surviving a car accident, a dog loses his life to a chip bag. Now his grieving family wants to help others avoid the same tragedy.

Many of us could easily explain why animals hold such a special place in our hearts, but what does that say about our relationships with people?
Why do we often wait until our loved ones are sick to really show them how we feel? The same can be said for our animal companions.
Our emotions often prevent the rational thought process that is necessary to make good decisions on behalf of our animal companions when they become ill.

The Lewisham Neuter Clinic is always busy and is continually adapting and growing in response to the varying needs of the local pet, stray and human population. The success of our programme of establishing low cost neuter clinics has shown first in the South East London area, because of the length of time the Lewisham clinic has been in operation.
The Clinic is now providing low-cost treatments for certain clients who cannot find help elsewhere. There are many pet owners who fall just outside the benefit requirements to be able to use the local PDSA / RSPCA yet cannot afford the fees of private veterinary surgeons. Even if they are PDSA clients they are only allowed to have three animals treated, so any additional animals would not qualify for treatment. CHAT strongly recommends that owners take out pet insurance for their pets, in order that they will be able to use private veterinary surgeons. However, there are always uninsured pets in need of help and strays in need of attention with existing conditions which insurers would not accept. Consultations are now held every day, with many different medical and surgical cases being treated.
The Clinic is equipped with an X-Ray machine, an ultrasound scanner and haematology/ biochemistry machines, allowing us to run blood tests immediately, thus gaining instant results which are invaluable when diagnosing and treating sick animals.
The Coco Markus Cattery Block
We have completed a much needed new cattery complex to be known as The Coco Markus Cattery Block (pictured above right). The construction of these beautiful buildings was made possible by a generous bequest from the Estate of the late Mrs M H Markus. They provide not only extra accommodation, but a more spacious and better quality stay for the animals. We have also built three additional wards within the new extension to the building.
The final stage of our Lewisham project has not yet been started, due to financial restrictions. This will involve the renovation of the dilapidated warehouse with shopfront behind our newly installed outdoor cattery pens. A property company had been proposing to buy this building in order to develop the site and construct a block of flats. Our intentions remain to convert this building as soon as possible into:
A separate reception area
A first floor warden's flat for security, and so that the warden is close at hand to provide emergency cover
Further extensive indoor rescue accommodation with exterior runs.

Many peoples' first contact with us is their request for flea products, and this is often not to relieve the suffering of their pets, but because they are being bitten by fleas themselves. At least once they are inside the clinic, we can open up a dialogue and talk about other aspects of their pets' welfare, i.e., vaccination, worming and, of course, neutering.
A lack of care of a pet is often due not to cruelty or indifference, but to simple ignorance of an animal's basic needs, i.e., the lady who kept her kitten tied to a length of washing line in her garden to keep it from being run over, and another new pet owner who was surprised her kitten wouldn't eat the chocolate biscuits she put down for it.
We have found that the percentage of stray and feral cats, where CHAT must bear the cost of neutering and vaccination, has increased.
There is of course a huge emphasis on neutering and vaccination but the role of the clinic is constantly changing and evolving.
One of our vets has a particular interest in orthopaedics which has saved the Trust a great deal of money in referral costs. We now provide assistance for people whose pets need treatment, and who do not qualify for other charity help, but are on low income and unable to afford private veterinary fees. This clinic has X-Ray facilities, VetScan haematology and bio-chemistry machines and an ultrasound scanner, all helping us to provide a first-class service for needy welfare cases.
Pedigree problems
We have observed a trend that concerns us in our vaccination clinics. When we opened in January 1999, the numbers of pedigree and mongrel puppies were roughly equal but we now find that approximately 80% of the puppies coming through our vaccination clinics are pedigree, often inbred and with resulting health problems. The vast majority of these are Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and we suspect that many people are becoming back-yard breeders as a way of supplementing their income. We have even had to take people to task when we have overheard them talking to other clients in our waiting room, trying to arrange a mating for their dogs. Battersea Dogs Home is also experiencing this trend, with the majority of dogs taken in being pedigree, and mostly 'Bull breed' types.
We never vaccinate whole litters of puppies or kittens unless the mother is spayed at the same time, and because people are always trying to find a way around this, we have printed a section on the vaccination card which shows how much the vaccination has cost, and that it has been done so cheaply on condition that the animal is not offered for sale.
We can rescue them only you can save them.

The Lewisham clinic is a hive of activity particularly first thing in the morning as animals arrive for operations and at the end of the day when they are reunited with their owners.
The doors open. Between now and 9a.m the days feline patients begin arriving.
Today there are eight male cats to be castrated and seven female cats to be spayed, Marmalade, an elderly cat requires dental work and Candy a diabetic needs blood sugar monitoring throughout the day to ensure she is receiving the correct level of medication. Plus there are 5 feral cats brought in by the rescue team yesterday which require neutering today a stray with a bad limp needs an X-ray and a 17 year old unwanted pet cat needs urgent dental work.
Kelly, a veterinary nursing assistant and Lee, a trainee veterinary nurse are kept busy admitting the cats and making them comfortable in individual cages.
In the Cat Ward, Claire our Senior nurse is checking on six of the inpatients. Ailments include, Tom who is recovering from an operation to pin a broken leg following a road accident, Tara an elderly cat who has kidney problems and is being rehydrated via a drip, a cat who fell from a 2nd floor balcony, he is lucky he only broke his jaw, it's been pinned and he is being fed via a feeding tube but should make a full recovery. Barney who is being treated for a serious case of urinary crystals which had blocked his bladder. Vinny, who was stray had arrived suffering with a large infected wound on his face but is now recovering nicely.
The rest of the Veterinary team arrive for the day.
In Consulting room 1, Alex one of our Veterinary surgeons health checks and admits the Dogs that have arrived for operations.
Today brings seven dogs who have been booked in. Two excitable young Staffies, Jack and Ella who are six months old arrive, they are being neutered today – that's very wise as there are so many unwanted Staffordshire Bull Terriers in London. Max a three year old male Yorkshire terrier is also coming in to be neutered. Molly an elderly Spaniel is in desperate need of dental work – her elderly owner is so grateful for our help, she couldn't afford the charge at a private vets. A large German Shepherd Bitch called Sophie arrives to be neutered. Crackle, a two year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier arrives with his new owners, they have just got him from a 'man in the pub', Crackle is a fighter with other dogs in the park, neutering will resolve that plus some advice about dog training classes. Lastly Scruff a crossbreed terrier, she's a loved family pet and her owners are responsible and don't want her to having a litter to add to the numbers of unwanted dogs, so she's being neutered today.
There are also some consultations to be seen in the morning and after the dogs are admitted David, another vet takes over.
Mrs B brings in her 16 year old cat Barney, She is worried, Barney has lost weight recently, but he still eats well and isn't drinking lots. David decides to run a blood test to check the function of Barney's vital organs, he has a suspicion that Barney may have an over active thyroid gland, it's very common in older cats and easily treated with medication and/or surgery. Lee lends a hand to take a blood sample which will be run on our blood diagnostic machine. Mrs B is keen to take an agitated Barney home so David will phone her later with the results.
Mr X arrives with a 18 month old, large male Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross called Billy. Over three quarters of the dogs treated at our clinic are Staffies, they are easily the most popular breed in London. Billy has been in a fight with another Dog in the park, there's not too much damage to Billy but a wound above his eye needs stitching, we expect that the other dog came off worse. David talks to Mr X, Billy is getting into fights because he is unneutered, his hormones are leading to his aggression and in the crowded local dog walking parks Billy will keep being involved in fights. Neutering him will calm him right down. Mr X does want Billy to be a family pet, our vet reassures him that neutering will help him be just that rather than a frustrated animal who will become increasingly harder to handle. Mr X agrees, and Billy is admitted to be stitched and neutered today.
Mr W brings in a stray cat from his work place, a local car breakers. "Buster" is oily and grimy and needs neutering, David admits him to be neutered and cleaned up, fortunately Mr W wants to take him home as a pet – the rescue centre is really full so that's good news for Buster.
Meanwhile Alex and Flavia, a veterinary nurse and Kishor, another veterinary surgeon and Marcia a veterinary nurse have embarked on the days canine operations. There are two operating theatres and the dogs need to have had their operations in the morning and recovered from their anaesthetics in time to go home later in the afternoon.
10.30 a.m
After the mornings consultations David does the rounds checking on the in patients with the assistance of Claire. David gives the ok for Tara's drip to be removed and she can go home.
Next on to the rescue centre which adjoins the clinic and is a temporary home to over 100 stray and unwanted animals mainly cats.
The animal care staff are concerned about Daisy an elderly stray who was brought in 3 days ago. Efforts are being made to trace her owner but in the meantime there is concern that Daisy is drinking a lot of water. David decides to take a blood sample which reveals kidney problems, Daisy is started on medication and her diet changed to a special prescription diet.
A litter of five feral kittens aged 10-11 weeks have arrived along with their mother in the early hours, they were brought in by two members of the rescue team who have been spending many hours rescuing cats at a local waste recycling depot, it's a dangerous place where kittens are a risk of being crushed under heavy machinery.
One kitten has a limp and they are all very grubby with 'sticky' eyes, hopefully it's conjunctivitis due to the dirty living conditions rather than cat flu, they have been isolated from other cats just to be sure.
Mum is feral and will be checked thoroughly whilst she is under anaesthetic being neutered tomorrow.
Just then a cat is brought into the clinic, it's been found lying by the side of the road, David is the only free vet and needs to attend to this emergency, the kittens will be seen later this afternoon.
She is obviously someone's pet and is cold and shocked, First aid treatment is promptly administered, and she is placed on a drip to stabilise her before her injuries can be fully assessed. She isn't microchipped and her collar hasn't any I.D. The rescue team will organise putting up Posters where she was found.
The dogs are all neutered and most of the female cats. Kelly and Lee, the nursing assistants keep a close eye on the animals as they wake up. There is always plenty for the nursing assistants to do, nursing sick animals, sterilizing equipment and the surgical drapes, stock taking and ordering as well as endless cleaning.
During the afternoon the rest of the cats operations are completed, owned cats are first as they need to recover from anaesthetic before going home. Remaining time is used for operations on cats that are in the care of the rescue centre for rehoming or strays and feral cats in to be neutered and returned.
The RTA cat has improved and is fit for an X-ray, which reveals a fractured pelvis and jaw. Her pelvis will need 6 weeks cage rest to heal itself, her jaw will need surgery, but she should pull through.
the veterinary nurses are consulting, dogs that have been neutered 10 days ago return for their post-op checks, where their wounds are checked to ensure they have healed well.
Today's dogs are collected by their owners, they have to go home by car and instructions regarding care and feeding that evening, gentle exercise over the next week and to call our duty vet if they are concerned in any way about their pet are relayed to each owner.
Billy the Staff who had been involved in a fight has a course of antibiotics as does Molly the Spaniel who had dental work, she will need soft food for a few days.
The owner of the cat involved in the road accident has seen one of our posters and has arrived at the clinic. She is distressed to see her cat "Myrtle" hurt but is relieved that at least she is alive. Claire reassures her that Myrtle is in safe hands and should recover.
The feral kittens get their check up, all are well, four females and a male, so potentially they could have produced a lot more feral kittens if we hadn't rescued them. The rescue team also bring in four cats that have been shut in a flat for four days following the death of their owner, Alex the vet checks them over, they are hungry and riddled with fleas but will be okay.
In between everything else, the vets fit in reading blood tests results, biopsy results, discussing X-rays and treatment cases and calling clients to discuss results and treatment plans for their pets.
Afternoon general consultation appointments start again at 4p.m for an hour, but often run later as urgent cases arrive to needing attention. 15 animals are booked in, the ailments include, kittens with fleas, a dog with a skin complaint, a cat with cystitis, an elderly dog needing more arthritis medication, a newly diagnosed diabetic cat referred from a private vet, his un insured owners can no longer afford private veterinary fees.
5.30 p.m
Natalie, one of the rescue team arrives with a thin, dehydrated cat, riddled with fleas and limping, they name her Scooby and she is treated for fleas , put on a drip and made comfortable for the night, she will be blood tested and reassessed tomorrow.
5.30 - 6.30p.m
All the cats that were neutered today are collected by their owners.
6.30 p.m
Now at the end of the day the nurses and veterinary assistants clean up in preparation for tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the busiest day of the week, there is a vaccination clinic, 80 puppies, kittens and cats and dogs will come through the clinic for vaccinations but also a health check, wormers, flea treatment and microchipping.
- Marcia and Alex are on call for emergencies, if an owner is concerned about their pet who has been operated on or if the rescue team pick up a very sick animal that cannot wait until the morning then the vet is available to see the animal.
Last night a pregnant dog, another Staffordshire Bull terrier was having trouble giving birth, she had to be rushed in for an emergency caesarean. The mother was neutered before being stitched up. Hopefully a quieter night tonight.
As the nurse on duty Marcia also does the evening rounds, administering medications and checking on the inpatients.
A VET'S EYE VIEW - By Hilary a Vet at our Canning Town Branch
"As I drove to work one morning recently, the Breakfast Programme on the radio was discussing what would be the "best job in the world". As one of the vets at the Celia Hammond Animal Trust (CHAT) I thought I might be one of those lucky few who have just that -
The Best Job in the World.
I listen to a lot of breakfast radio as I leave home at 7.20am each morning just to be sure of arriving at Canning Town by 9am, but the unpredictable traffic through the Blackwall Tunnel is the only down-side to my day. As soon as I arrive at the clinic the journey is forgotten as I join the busy team of vets, nurses, rescue workers, reception staff and volunteers. One of the main aims of CHAT is to provide low cost neutering and vaccinating, and part of a vet's day is doing just that: spaying, castrating and vaccinating cats and dogs. However, our routing clinic appointments ensure that we see a wide range of medical and surgical problems from diabetes to diarrhoea, bite wounds to broken legs. The clinc provides low cost veterinary treatment for those who cannot afford regular vet's fees.
In the current "Credit Crunch" the demand on our services is increasing by the day and we see many "referrals". Cats have a habit of not checking the traffic before crossing the road and we see serious road traffic injuries every day, many of these are referred to us by other veterinary practices. This is a part of the vet's job which is particulary challenging. The most common injuries we see are broken bones: jaw; limbs; pelvis, each needing a different orthopaedic repair. Such patients are in shock and in pain so intravenous fluids and pain relief are the first priorities after which we work on the specific injuries. Every case is different, but fixing the problem and returning a much loved pet to his or her owner makes all the hard work worthwhile.
As one of the vets, I am lucky not to be particularly involved with the financial side of things, so it is wonderful to be able to provide all this care without having to turn people and their pets away just because they cannot afford treatment. Without the fundraisers and donations we would not be able to do what we do, so a huge thank you must go to all those who make it possible for me to have
The Best Job In the World.

ICAP is on a recruitment drive. But unlike the usual headline-grabbing tales within the wholesale brokerage market of companies trying to steal key broking staff from their rivals, the drama this time centres on plans to bolster ICAP's in-house legal team. General counsel outside of the US Mark Schreiber reveals he is on the lookout for a new senior lawyer with a minimum of five year's experience in Hong Kong. The successful applicant will head the company's first legal capability outside the UK and US. The lucky lawyer, who will be based in Hong Kong and report to Schreiber, will assist ICAP's Asia Pacific and Middle East (APME) offices.
Schreiber says this may result in the launch of a full-capability legal team if the initial response from ICAP's offices in Australia, China, India, Japan and New Zealand proves positive.
However, Schreiber warns the new APME lawyer is likely to be extremely busy. Asia is about to be inundated with work following the company's entry into the Korean market, and similar growth is anticipated in China. Last year, in conjunction with joint-venture partner Korea Inter Dealer Broker (KIDB), ICAP became the first international broker to receive a wholesale broking licence in Korea. The group is now also on the verge of receiving the first wholesale broking licence in China.
Schreiber says that so far these developments, along with the launch of a range of property-based derivatives in May which enable investors to take a position on the future of the property market without investing in actual bricks and mortar, have not created any headaches for the legal team. But the developments in China and Korea are likely to mean that ICAP must begin developing greater relationships with local law firms.
Currently, Schreiber outsources matters on an ad hoc basis based on referrals and past experience, although the group does have strong ties with Deacons in Hong Kong and Minter Ellison in Australia. Other firms with longstanding relationships with ICAP include Macfarlanes and Ashurst, which were legacy advisers of ICAP - Macfarlanes from before Schreiber joined the group in 1993 and Ashurst following the group's merger with Exco, a longstanding client of the firm's, in 1998.
Schreiber, however, hints that he is looking to bolster the company's list of niche financial services advisers and is therefore developing an informal panel for this area. "We have no formal legal panel, but I've started to build up an informal panel for certain areas, such as in financial services, because I want to have a number of people I can call. I'm looking for different expertise in specialist areas and markets."
Most of the group's UK and European legal needs are handled in-house, although Schreiber is in almost constant contact with the company's external advisers. Schreiber says he uses these as "sounding boards" as well as for litigation and major corporate and competition matters.
Since Schreiber joined ICAP from Japan-based Sanwa Bank in 1993, the company has matured greatly from its former position of utilising legal advice only when things looked likely to become contentious. And, as the in-house team grew to its present size of 10 UK-based lawyers, the company has developed a culture of asking for legal advice on most matters.
Employment law takes up a lot of the team's time, so Schreiber has two staff assigned to managing employee relationships and employment contracts full-time. He emphasises that this is because "the nature of our business is that the assets walk out the door every night".
ICAP is more than aware of the dangers this presents. In recent years the company has been caught up in high-profile disputes with both Cantor Fitzgerald and Collins Stewart over staff moves both to and from ICAP. The majority of such contentious work is farmed out to external counsel, while the in-house employment specialists focus on management issues.
One of the biggest issues the team has overcome in recent years is the problem thrown up by the advent of electronic trading. "In the voice broking world you can say who said what when and you can listen to a tape to confirm this. In the electronic world you need to define when is a trade done, when is a bid a bid, and when is an offer an offer to avoid suddenly being saddled with a huge liability."
To combat this the legal team has drafted and implemented a generic set of electronic broking terms and conditions. Schreiber says that about three years ago it came to light that a number of sections of the business were offering clients different terms and conditions for the company's electronic platforms, causing a time-consuming nightmare for the legal department. So he began the ambitious project of developing an all-encompassing umbrella of master electronic trading agreements that would enable the company's clients to sign one document once and access all of the group's different broking platforms under the same general underlying terms and conditions.
"As with any in-house lawyer only half of what you do is legal, the rest - like the terms and conditions - are about being part of the management and solution process," says Schreiber.

[George Bush] was a reactionary by temperament and conviction whose methods were borrowed from the most radical progressives. He besmirched the conservatism that he had forsaken and led it from the corridors of power into the political wilderness.The author doesn't seem to understand what progressivism means, and spends a lot of time square pegging his terms to make them fit around his central point. Historically, progressivism has always been grassroots - an organized, concerted effort of solidarity to bring about changes - ranging from minimum wage to national health - from the ground up. Not sneaking into power through the back door with the help of the oligarchy. Bush's "methods" were decidedly undemocratic, which makes them the polar opposite of progressivism.
Because progressive commentators depict Bush as an arch-conservative instead of the curious amalgam of reactionary and radical revolutionary that he actually was, they remain blind to Obama's conservatism.
Let the Republicans deal with their terminology. The new politics isn't to be liberal or conservative. It's ideally to be intelligent and competent... and post-ideological.What's the difference between being "non-ideological" and amoral? If the goal is "what works" then the obvious question is "for whom" There are clearly a lot of policies that would benefit only the rich, or mostly the poor, or whatever. If the answer is "the most people" then is certainly an ideological position in and of itself. Being empirical in reaching that goal is not non-ideological.
Too bad that a lot of the Democratic leaders out there don't quite understand this, as yet.
Thesis -> Antithesis -> Synthesis (new thesis) -> new Antithesis -> etc.and while it's, uh, refreshing to have a president that has stated he wants 'facts to guide' policy (rather than 'facts to deny'!) and one can actually believe him when he sez such, i do think it's a stretch to say we've entered an era of washingtonian (OG) post-partisan* or post-ideological politics,** if for no other reason than politicians still represent constituencies (altho i would like to believe that we've moved on to a post-boomer age ;)
Applying this to modern economics we have:
Classical -> Keynesian -> Reaganomics -> Obamanomics
Where Reaganomics is a form of Post Keynesian Neo-Classical Economics and Obamanomics is here assumed to be some sort Post Reagan Neo-Keynesian Economics.
("Look, this is just a way of looking at how economics develops over time. It's just another model in the Vast Matrix of Models we use to try to understand the world" explained the White Rabbit.)

There must be no doubt that the environment is important to the Green Party, but according to NZ Herald the environment is not included in Green policy priorities the environment. This is from an Election 2014: Green Party – Norman + Turei pre-election interview.
Greens: We won't be shut out again
Green co-leaders Russel Norman and Metiria Turei want to be in a full coalition with Labour and have senior Cabinet positions that reflect their party's priorities, social justice and the economy.
And they say that the possibility of sharing the role of deputy prime minister has to be on the negotiation table.
Mrs Turei has made child poverty her priority while Dr Norman has focused on the economy and green innovation.
While "green innovation" is related to the environment making the economy interests plus social issues their priorities looks like a significant shift in emphasis for the Greens.
However the environment is not left out in a comment from Norman in the interview:
We're people that got into politics to do some good, and so we're very clear we want progress on economic, social and environmental policy areas.
With 'only' two leaders one of the three has to miss out on their major areas of interest.
The final question: If someone hasn't voted before, first time voter, what is the single, the single biggest reason they should vote Green?
Metiria Turei: Because we will put children and their families at the heart of every decision that we make in government.
Turei was unequivocal about that but Norman was visibly and verbally conflicted.
Russel Norman: Yeah yeah, I don't know, the single thing, like you know when you get these questions, the single thing, it's like it's comp…like it's complex.
You know obviously I'd say you know clean rivers and a smart green economy but, you know, that's not one thing though, yeah, climate change is part of a smart green economy, um, yeah, so it's hard to answer those questions that name one thing because it's so much bigger than that.
It's been said that the three most important things about an election are the economy, the economy and the economy. There's some truth to that.
How our economy is run, especially in relation to business development and use of natural resources, has a significant influence on the environment. There are potential economic costs of mitigating adverse environment effects.
And if you want to give more money to the poorest people you have to have an economy that can afford that. If the country goes broke everyone will suffer.
As Norman says, it's complex.
Norman associated himself with Rod Donald as a pragmatic idealist. That is also complex, and perhaps the Green Party's biggest challenge if they negotiate a significant role in the next government.
Norman seems to get it, Turei seems tending far more towards idealism. Similar tensions are likely through the party ranks.
If any party deserves a shot at being a part of government it has to be the Greens. They've had a long build-up and look the best organised and prepared of all parties.
Government is a step up. Greens are relying on other parties to get them there. If they make it their top targets will be economic and social portfolios.
One could expect that the environment would be their next cab off the rank – but next on the Green list is Kevin Hague who is more likely to get an associate health type role.
Number four is Eugenie Sage who is their spokesperson on environment, conservation, water and resource management., the nitty gritty of environmental portfolios. On current polling Greens deserve more than four Cabinet positions so should get something for Sage, but Greens may have to settle for pragmatic idealism in their negotiations.
Norman is right. It's complex.

Doctors say that this winter is shaping up to be one of the worst flu seasons on record.
Atlanta area hospitals have been flooded with patients suffering from influenza, the virus that causes the flu.
Piedmont emergency room physician Thomas Upshaw and staff have been quite busy treating patients presenting signs of the flu.
"The flu has been awful, this is probably the worst season we've ever seen," Upshaw said, who has been sick himself.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the Southeast region is experiencing high levels of influenza activity.
The Georgia Department of Health's statistics suggest that from October 2012 to December 2012, the levels of influenza activity shot from sporadic to widespread in just three months.
"I think the general public should be very concerned," Upshaw said. "If they have symptoms, they should be seen. I think if you have not had your flu shot, it's still not too late."
Upshaw says the shots are an important tool to keep you healthy.
"It's going to make the flu that they do get less severe," Upshaw said.

Rocky Mountain Collegian: Oct. 23, 2010 - Double Truck
Another annual project my paper would create: The Student Media wrap. Quite the undertaking, especially running simultaneously to the paper's daily grind. But it's a great way to introduce the student body to not only the Collegian but also the Student Media office.
I took the design a different way, breaking a bit from our style to create something more memorable. This had previously been a standard layout, modular and from top to bottom. Here, I incorporated each necessary element but with a new flair. I used the gold we always do, and did my best to give everyone equal representation.
Page 1:
- I really like this cover, and how everything flows. I also love that there's art throughout, keeping things from getting gray or stale down-page.
Page 2:
- The big one. This page summed up the paper I'd been working at for years, and so I wanted to make sure I did it justice. I especially like the Editorial Staff mug section. I think that was a great touch to introduce the readers to us.
- LOVE the What to Expect. That turned out wonderfully, and helped our readers understand that much more.
- This page is informative and while busy, not cluttered. It has a lot, but also get's a lot across. I think it works wonderfully.
Page 3:
- A bit more boring, I did what I could with the room I had. I think they still got their piece represented, and the advertising piece especially was nice and informative too.
Page 4:
- Another standard design, but keeping to the wrap's style! I think it turned out nicely.

Bob Reeves C2J Trumpet Mouthpiece
View All Recently Viewed Items
Great for getting a dark, warm sound out of your trumpet, or the flugelhorn sound without the price of a new horn!
Bob Reeves C2J Trumpet Mouthpiece
The idea behind the Bob Reeves C2J Trumpet Mouthpieces was to create a mouthpiece optimized for softer passages found in orchestral work and jazz ballads. The C2J creates a dark, warm, and rich sound without sacrificing intonation, range, and endurance. Classical trumpet players like to use the C2J on their C trumpets when playing Mahler Symphonies 3 and 9 or Brahms. The mouthpiece is also great for backing a church choir. Jazz musicians appreciate the flugelhorn-like sound the can get out of their trumpet without having to switch to a cold horn. It also means not having to carry multiple horns to a gig for just a couple tunes.

A second's relief, and then another burst of green light. The owl screeched and fell to the floor of the cage.
"No - NO!"
The motorbike zoomed forward; Harry glimpsed hooded Death Eaters scattering as Hagrid blasted through their circle.
"Hedwig - Hedwig -"
But the owl lay motionless and pathetic as a toy on the floor of her cage. He could not take it in, and his terror for the others was paramount.
Welcome to the island of misfit toys.

As a global leader and one of the most respected companies in vehicle tracking and recovery systems, Cartrack is uniquely positioned to meet the needs of its clients'. In fact, with more than 400 000 clients worldwide – Cartrack's services and software systems are built on the most advanced technologies available coupled with a devotion to client service.
And with a vast array of options and packages available, Cartrack's solutions are designed to meet the realities of modern-day anti-theft and vehicle recovery, as well as fleet management for perfect peace of mind. Indeed, Cartrack's vehicle recovery system is the only one backed by independent auditing and boasts a proven 94% recovery rate. In addition, the company offers a R150,000 Recovery Warranty that ensures clients always recover an invaluable portion of their losses, whether the vehicle itself is found or not.
Cartrack's Stolen Vehicle Recovery System comprises an advanced tracking unit that is discreetly installed in each vehicle and, using GPS and GSM technologies, can pinpoint the location of a vehicle at any time.
The computerised and web-based technology affords real-time location and is backed up by highly trained rapid-response teams. This telematics system is not only one of the most sophisticated of its kind available, but constitutes a game-changing leap forward in fleet management, insurance and overall road safety.
Cartrack is the go-to vehicle recovery company due to its trusted and efficient services.
"Our clients are our number-one priority and we will always offer the most technologically advanced vehicle tracking systems on the market."
"We are the only vehicle tracking company in South Africa that offers our clients up to R150 000 in the unlikely event that we are unable to recover their stolen or hijacked vehicle. We decided that this powerful message that provides our clients with the most exceptional peace of mind was to be the focus of our new TV campaign. Not only does it underpin the fact that we have a 94% independently audited recovery rate, but it clearly shows that if we cannot recover a client's vehicle that is legitimately reported stolen or hijacked, we will put our money where our mouth is. In our industry, if a vehicle is not recovered, most clients end up holding the can. But not for Cartrack clients, as we firmly believe that we are accountable to our clients for the promises we make," says Jacqui Nel, Cartrack's Marketing and Communications Manager.
"It was up to creative agency, Grey JHB, to find a way to get the message across clearly and succinctly. "Many brands overpromise and under-deliver, which has absolutely jaded consumer expectations of what they see and hear in advertising campaigns. We had to find a way to let viewers know that Cartrack's R150 000 Warranty is sincere, and in fact unprecedented in the industry," says Francois Boshoff, Grey JHB Creative Director.

Yesterday, during the Senate debate, Susan Collins took to the Senate floor to decry the politics surrounding the war debate — not the war itself necessarily, but the politics surrounding it. Yes, Susan is tired of the politics of the war in 2008, but as we shall see, she loved the war politics when it worked to her advantage in 2002.
First, let's just say the difference between Collins and her opponent, Tom Allen, could not be more stark. She was pathetic during her floor speech last night. Matt Stoller thought she looked "frightened." Bob Geiger also weighed in:
Unclear on the concept award goes to Susan Collins (R-ME) who said many times in her speech tonight that the Senate needs to "move past politics" in resolving the Iraq quagmire.
Note to Collins: "Politics" is defined by Dictionary.com as "the science or art of political government." In other words, it's not a dirty word — it's your job description.
Now, having the blood of thousands of U.S. troops and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians on your hands — that's dirty stuff.
Compare that to Tom Allen who spoke at the rally on Capitol Hill last night. Chris Achorn has the video. As you watch that video, keep in mind that Tom could defeat Collins and be the next Senator from Maine. So, you'll probably want to contribute to Tom's campaign.
Earlier this week, Collins told the Politico she wasn't sure if Bush would campaign for her this year. She's stood by George Bush on the war for the past five years — barely wavering in her loyalty to the leader of her party. Things were so different for Collins back in 2002. That's when Republicans could use war-mongering to their political advantage. Back in 2002, Bush campaigned for Susan Collins — TWICE. Yep, those were the days when GOPers LOVED using the Iraq war for politics. I re-read Bush's speech at the August 3, 2002 fundraiser and at another event in Bangor on October 22, 2002. It was a disturbing look back. Back then, Bush was laying the groundwork for the invasion of Iraq based on faulty intelligence and lies. Back then, Susan had Bush's back. Here's an excerpt from Bush's remarks at the fundraiser for Susan Collins in August 2002:
Our task and our responsibility to history is more than just an Al Qaida network. We owe it to the future of civilization not to allow the world's worst leaders to develop and deploy and therefore blackmail free, loving countries with the world's worst weapons. I'm a patient man. I'm a patient man. I've got a lot of tools at my disposal. But I can assure you, I understand history has called us into action, and this country will defend freedom no matter what the cost.
Two months later, as the election neared, Bush was using more menacing language — truly politicizing Iraq for Susan's benefit. Here's what Bush said as he stood by Susan's side in October 2002:
I want to remind you that we're dealing with a man who has used weapons of mass destruction on his own people, on people in his neighborhood. This is a man who has defied the United Nations 16 times over an 11-year period. The world has said, you must do what you said you would do, Saddam Hussein, and that is disarm. And 16 times the United Nations, over and over and over again, has written resolution after resolution, saying, Mr. Saddam Hussein, you must disarm. And he has defied and international body.
So I gave a speech, and I said to the world, for the sake of peace, for the sake of peace at home, for the sake of peace in the Middle East, for the sake of determining whether or not that international body is going to be the League of Nations or the United Nations, Saddam Hussein must disarm, and we expect you, the world, to disarm him. (Applause.) For the sake of peace, for the sake of security for our country. It's his choice to make. You said you would disarm, disarm. The United Nations has asked you to disarm, they need to work together to disarm. But my fellow Americans, if they won't act, and if Saddam Hussein won't act, for the sake of peace, for the sake of our security, we will lead a coalition to disarm that man. (Applause.)
Well, you know the rest. Bush started the war with Susan's full support. Now, we know the costs. And, with Susan in the Senate, there's little hope for change. Her heart and soul belong to George Bush. In 2008, they can retire together. And, again, to make sure Collins loses, contribute to Tom Allen. It matters. It really, really matters.
