Since she was a little girl, Sheri Prentiss knew she wanted to be a doctor.
"My parents would remind me — if you want to be a doctor, you have to work harder than the other kids," says Prentiss, 45 (whose name, until her Oct. 1 marriage to Donald Prentiss, was Sheri Phillips). "So I was always looking ahead to that goal of becoming a physician for as long as I can remember."
Prentiss graduated from Northwestern University in 1989 with a bachelor of arts in psychology and premedical studies, and graduated from the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University in 1993.
"I was pregnant with my second daughter when I was doing my residency at Loyola in neurology, but I was having complications," she recalls. "So my doctor said, 'You can't be on call every third night. You need to choose. You can't work this many hours and have a successful pregnancy.'"
Prentiss switched from neurology to occupational medicine and realized the benefits of raising two young daughters with a career that provided family-friendly hours working in occupational health clinics. She earned her master's of public health at the School of Public Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998.
Although she was thriving in her roles as a physician and mother, in 2007, her marriage was coming to an end.
"I was going through a divorce, my mother's health was failing and I was her primary caregiver, so I was very overwhelmed," she says. "It was Oct. 1, 2008, and I was living in Homewood. I happened to be on the phone with my ex talking about the kids, and I realized I hadn't given myself my self-breast exam because I always do it on the first of the month. So I started giving myself an exam while I was on the phone and I found a mass on my breast. I'd had a mammogram in February and it was clean, and there is no history of breast cancer in the family. But the moment I felt it, I knew it was cancer."
She had 16 lymph nodes removed and a partial mastectomy. After 15 rounds of chemotherapy and 33 treatments of radiation, she is now cancer-free and travels the country encouraging other survivors while sharing her story as the national spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure 60-mile walkathons held in cities across the U.S. to raise awareness throughout the year, not just in October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. (Go to http://www.the3day.org for details.) Prentiss has held the position since 2011.
The following is an edited version of our conversation:
Q: When you were going through your cancer treatments, was there ever a time when you thought you wouldn't be able to get through it?
A: Absolutely. I was about to get my fourth round of chemo, and I started getting chest pains on a Saturday and I am thinking, "I know what this is. This is a heart attack for sure." I was done. I didn't care what it meant. I didn't call 911. I went upstairs and found my life insurance policy, and I put it on my desk so it would be easy for my ex to find, got into bed, said my prayers and went to sleep expecting to just wake up in paradise and be done with this mess. I woke up so depressed that I was still here. … When I got to the ER, they did an angiogram and discovered I had over 70 percent blockage in my right coronary artery. ... So they tried to put in a stent. They tried about 22 different stents. None of them would work. The cardiologist said: "Less than 1 percent of the population in the world has this condition. So we're going to try you on some medications and see what we can do." In my head, I thought God was keeping me around because my mom hadn't passed away yet. She died three weeks later.
Q: When did things start to look up?
A: It took a while. I finished most of my treatment in July 2009, and two weeks after radiation, lymphedema (tissue swelling) had crept in on my right arm and hand. It was starting to affect (being able to) sew up lacerations (as part of) my job. ... My boss brought me into his office and he said, "Sheri, a physician who is not clinically capable is of no value to me." And I thought, "I have no value. I'd been a doctor for 16 years and now I can't perform part of my job, I don't have any value."
For four months I went through physical therapy (for the lymphedema) and during that time I struggled with depression. I thought, "All I've been is a doctor and a mom. I've never been anything else. So now where is my value?"
It finally settled with me that if I just lived, I would be able to realize my value and I would be OK. I have a motto. When I say "live," it stands for "Love myself and others. Inspire those around me. Voice my dreams and ambitions. Enjoy life." I didn't know how I was going to feed my daughters, but I said, "I'm going to live." And the moment I said that, I heard about the position for the Komen National Spokesperson.
(Although the lymphedema has disabled Prentiss from clinical practice, she continues to work as a physician consultant with clinical oversight.)
Q: Talk about the compression arm sleeve you designed.
A: I was wearing over-the-counter garments that control the swelling from the lymphedema (and keep blood flowing). ... If the infection spreads into the body, you can die — and I did not survive breast cancer to die from lymphedema! So I decided to design some sleeves because the over-the-counter garments were so boring. Now I have women come up to me who don't have lymphedema asking where I got my sleeves. (For details, go to http://www.drsherimd.com.)
Q: Do you think our mental health affects our physical health?
A: Yes. I strongly believe it was the stress and my mindset that did it for me. From childhood until I was diagnosed at 40, I put so much pressure on myself. If I would stay up late to help a friend, I would stay up until 3 in the morning so I could get the grade that I needed to get. You do that all your life, and then you get into a bad marriage, have kids, your mom gets sick — taking care of other people was what I did and as a result it defined who I was. I was trying to take care of all things for all people at all times and I honestly believe my body just said, "Enough!"
I live a very different life now. I told my kids (now 19 and 17), "I will not die for you." I said I would teach them how to be independent and take care of themselves but not to the point where I'm always solving all of their problems and draining myself.
Q: You just remarried.
A: I reconnected last October with (Donald) — a man I went to high school, college and medical school with. He is good for me and good to me. I am extremely blessed. If we had married 25 years ago, I don't know if we would still be together. I was such a different person then. The woman he fell in love with — it took all of the negative experiences and all of the positive ones to make me who I am now.
Q: What would you tell your 13-year-old self knowing everything you know now?
A: I would tell her to really master not sweating the small stuff. Pick your battles because every battle is not yours to fight. Enjoy life. Don't lose out on the fun in life trying to reach a goal.

Drawing inspiration
To relax, Sheri Prentiss makes sure she has "a moment" to herself every day. "When I say a moment — a moment may be five minutes today and two hours tomorrow or a whole day three months from now. But if you can't find a time when you're driving in your car or sitting down with a bowl of soup to reflect on the fact that you are here, you are healthy, you can taste your food, you can breathe without being attached to oxygen, you can walk to your car without being attached to a walker — if you can't reflect on the most precious things, then you are too busy. Learn to take a step back and enjoy."

Three-goal first leads Capitals past Predatorsby Adam Vingan
WASHINGTON – The Washington Capitals wasted little time pouncing on the Nashville Predators, scoring three unanswered first-period goals en route to a 5-2 victory Saturday night at Verizon Center.
Troy Brouwer, Alex Ovechkin, Karl Alzner, Nate Schmidt and Eric Fehr scored for Washington. Braden Holtby made 34 saves in the win.
"Lately a lot of the time, we've been coming from behind, having to come down from either one or two goals," Brouwer said. "You're not going to have a ton of success later on in the season doing that. We were able to squeeze out some points here and there, but you can only win so many games like that, so for us, we wanted to get off to a good start...and we did."
Roman Josi and Eric Nystrom scored for Nashville, which has lost five straight (0-4-1).
"It's making it very difficult," Predators coach Barry Trotz said of the recent slide. "You can't just look at the big picture, better to just look at the next game. Win the next game and you've got to work at it a game at a time. ... We just don't have the finish we need right now."
Brouwer opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the season and his second at even strength at 6:44. Marek Mazanec (28 saves) made the initial save on Fehr's shot from the right half-wall, but could not swallow the rebound. Despite being tangled with Ryan Ellis in front, Brouwer was able to get enough on the puck for it to trickle past Mazanec's outstretched right leg and over the goal line.
Washington received its first power play of the game at 13:06, and it took Ovechkin all of three seconds to extend the lead to 2-0 with his League-leading 22nd goal; he blew a slap shot past Mazanec off a clean faceoff victory by Nicklas Backstrom (two assists).
Alzner's slap shot from the point – his first-ever goal at Verizon Center in his 148th career home game – gave the Capitals a 3-0 lead at 16:19, but it was short-lived. Josi responded with his first goal of the season in the waning moments of the period.
After a scoreless second period, the Capitals and Predators exchanged goals within 23 seconds in the third. Schmidt scored his first career NHL goal at 3:29 before Nystrom answered with his fifth of the season at 3:53.
"Me and [Schmidt] have been talking about it back and forth how he hasn't scored yet and I haven't scored at home," Alzner said. "In the intermission, I said, 'Alright Schmidty, now that I've scored, you can score one,' and he went out and did it."
Fehr then restored Washington's three-goal lead with a wrister at 14:50.
Coincidentally, each team's next game is against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. The Capitals visit on Sunday; Nashville plays at the Garden on Tuesday.

Staff writer
Carrie Smith of Lincolnville was notified in September that she would be losing her job in provider relations for the Wichita office of Harrington Health. She worked out of an office in Wichita for eight years and spent the past five years working out of her home.
To add insult to injury, Smith was told that because she was the only employee in the company who knew how to do her job, she would be required to train an individual in India to take her place.
She has spent the past two and a half months on the phone and computer doing just that, but her job will end Jan. 1. She joins 20 other employees who also lost their jobs.
Smith and her husband, Wade, have been married for 10 years and have four children — Kaleb, 14; Avery, 8; Lander, 6; and Remington, 2. They have lived in Lincolnville for two years.
Wade Smith is a full-time emergency medical technician for Dickinson County and works part-time for the city of Lincolnville. He often works overtime and has put in as many as 400 hours a month. He also occasionally works for Marion County EMS and is a volunteer firefighter.
The Smiths live in a two-story frame house that was built before 1908. It is not insulated, so gas bills are high. Grandparents help to buy clothes for the children. During the summertime, when the children are home all day, grocery costs can be as much as $300 a week.
Carrie Smith was able to bring her job with her when the family moved to Lincolnville from Wichita. Now she is worried about how they will make ends meet without her salary. The pay was good. She wants to find another job, but that in itself carries with it additional expenses.
"Jobs are scarce around here," she said. "They probably pay lower. I also will need day-care services and will have travel expenses."
She said her dream job would be as a court mediator, resolving disputes outside of court. She took a related class last summer and would like to take another one in June to get certification. The class and certification process have costs associated with them, so fulfilling that dream is uncertain.
Meanwhile, the Smiths were grateful to hear that they were nominated to receive extra help from Hoch Publishing Company's Christmas promotion.
"I was so shocked," Carrie Smith said. "We are the ones who like to help out, so it's a little hard to be on the other end of that."
"I've never been selected for anything like that," Wade Smith said. "I've always gone out there and done what I could to provide for my family."
Carrie is optimistic about the future.
"I'm nervous about it, but I know things will work out," she said. "I don't stress out about things I don't have control over. I've always had the belief that things happen for a reason. I think I was meant to find a different position. It will work itself out."

Following the recently concluded test match series with West Indies, most will say same old Bangladesh. Looking at the glass half full one can also say we have made some progress forcing both matches to the 5th day and actually giving the Windies a scare in the first. This little bit of progress can be partly attributed to the ability of some of our batsmen to spend time at the crease and play a long defiant innings. Like Naeem's century in the first innings, Nasir's near centuries, and Mahmudullah's stubborn efforts. What if we had one batsman who could always do this job for us like Dravid used to do for India? Here's a BC article which discusses why we are need of a consistent number 3 or 4 who can play an anchor man role for the team.
The Anchorman
by Jeeshan Mirza
Published: 6th December, 2012
November 25, 2000, Nagpur, India
India and Zimbabwe clashed for the 2nd of a two match test series. India had a comprehensive win in the first match and was expected to repeat the same in Nagpur. A double century from Tendulkar, and a 162 from Dravid took India to a mammoth total of 609 for the loss of six wickets in the first innings. A brave response from Zimbabwe (382 runs) was not sufficient to save them from follow on. With 2 full days left, and against a five man bowling attack which featured Srinath, Zaheer Khan, Agarkar, Sunil Joshi and Sarandeep Singh, Zimbabwe knew they had their work cut out. As Zimbabwe struggled at 3 for 61, India sensed another massive win. Enter Andy Flower. In the next 544 minutes of the test match, Flower denied India what was to be another simple win. Flower hit a patient unbeaten knock of 232 from 444 balls (His career best) to take Zimbabwe to safety. At the end Zimbabwe put up a defiant score of 503 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. The Indians were shocked and bewildered. Ten of their players (Except wicketkeeper) tried their luck with the ball. But they couldn't defeat the perseverance and determination of Andy Flower. Flower retired from the game with an average of over 50 in test cricket and a respectable 35 in ODIs. It must be mentioned that most of these runs were scored against the top test playing nations.
29 February, 1996, Pune
West Indies were eyeing an easy win over Kenya in the 1996 World Cup Group A match. Their bowling attack, which featured Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop and Gibson, would scare the best of batsmen. As expected, Kenya struggled, wickets tumbled and they were eventually bowled out for a measly 166. It could have been worse for Kenya had it not been for Steve Tikolo. Anticipating a collapse, Tikolo played a cool, calm and collected knock of 29 which was the highest score of their innings. Kenya will thank him for those 29 runs as it was his calm approach that prevented them from being bundled out for less than 100. That evening Kenya shocked the World by beating West Indies. Chasing a paltry total of 166, West Indies collapsed for 93. This epic victory is considered one of the biggest upsets in the history of cricket.
Seven years later, in the 2003 World Cup held in South Africa, Tikolo continued his impressive showing. He might have only scored 206 runs in the tournament (Bangladesh's highest scorer in the same tournament was Khaled Mashud with 99 runs from 6 matches) but his efforts helped Kenya create major upsets to get into the semi-finals. Not bad for a country without test status. He retired with a respectable average of 28.99, having scored 3421 runs in 134 ODI's. He also had a healthy first-class average of 48, proving his capability in the longer format of the game (he played in the South African domestic circuit for Border).
What do Andy Flower and Steve Tikolo have in common? Both played for minnows. Yet in their prime they were both world-class batsmen who could have easily gotten into more established teams. They were not devastating batsmen and didn't have the talent of say, a Tendulkar or a Lara. Rather they were hard working, determined run scorers who became indispensable members of their respective teams. They were brave personalities who wouldn't get overawed by more illustrious opposition and had a never say die attitude. They batted with focus, guts, and persistence which helped them gain the respect of the best bowlers. They were responsible batsmen, who the team could always count on. They were anchormen, the backbone of their teams- they held the innings together and more often than not, gave the team a good platform or foundation. They knew how to bat based on the situation or circumstances. If they needed to attack they could do so. If they needed to play a last-resort, rescue type of role they could do so too. They were highly consistent-they would score runs against all types of opposition in all types of wickets. You could always depend on them to win a match, save a match, or play a fighting role in a lost cause. Both have retired as heroes and icons in their countries-and as excellent role models for the next generation.
So an anchorman is someone who can hold the fort, bat for a long time, score runs at a tempo based on the situation, build partnerships, someone who the team can rely on to stay till the end. Whether batting first or chasing, the anchorman is always expected to give the team a solid platform. They will always put value on their wicket, and never throw it away no matter what. They are likely to convert starts to 50's, and 70-80's to hundreds. Their temperament, stamina, means they are capable of converting centuries to double hundreds in longer versions. In dire situations, anchorman is expected to tenaciously bail the team out.
In modern day cricket, Sangakkara and Jayawardene plays this role for Sri Lanka, Younis Khan for Pakistan, Hussey for Australia, Dhoni (Previously Dravid) for India, Chanderpaul for West Indies, Kallis for South Africa. Every team needs an anchorman. In fact teams which don't possess such batsmen often have a brittle lineup.
Perhaps this could be one of the reasons why Bangladesh is unpredictable when it comes to batting. Perhaps this is why we often fail to take a test match to the fifth day. Perhaps this is why we often fail to post big scores or chase down totals against both stronger and weaker teams.
So who is Bangladesh's anchorman? Do we have one, did we ever have one?
With a solid technique and calm mindset, Aminul Islam gave early indications that he could play this role for us. He did so in many occasions, most memorably during his century in our first ever Test match. But he couldn't do it enough to make Bangladesh more competitive or justify the immense ability he possessed. He and Tikolo are players from the same era, but compare their records and see who has achieved more. Javed Omar and Khaled Mashud had the rare temperament to hold an innings together. But they were never fluent run scorers. Rajin Saleh was another batsman who was able to play with grit and occupy the crease. In fact during a Test series against Pakistan, our then coach Dave Whatmore said he wished we had one or two more Rajins. But he too never lived up to expectations. More recently Raqibul Hasan became a contender for the position. A good technique and an organized approach helped him achieve some early success, especially in ODI's. But that was it-for some reason his performances went downhill from then on. Think about it- Raqibul and Shakib were peers at age group level, clearly one player has taken off while the other hasn't.
Now we have had run scorers. Habibul Bashar, Mohd. Ashraful, Shahriar Nafees,Tamim Iqbal - they have all scored runs, in all forms of the game. Habibul Bashar, for instance, has over 3000 runs in Tests at an average of 30. But the truth is, none of them are or were anchormen. Their natural games were based on stroke making and brisk scoring, rather than holding an innings together. They could not replicate what Andy Flower and Tikolo did for their countries. They also lack(ed) the consistency and reliability we required from them to make Bangladesh a more competitive team.
Perhaps our best bet is the man from Magura - Shakib Al Hasan. Shakib has a record that is unusual for a Bangladesh batsman. In both tests and ODI's, Shakib averages above 35. He has scored runs against all opposition, both in the sub-continent and beyond. With the bat, Shakib is fearless and attacks from ball number one, with very little regard to who is bowling. We have depended on him on countless occasions to rescue us or to drive us forward. He has delivered on many occasions. However, he also has the tendency to throw it away. Can you blame him though? We tend to rely on him too much-with the bat, with the ball, on the field. So given the immense responsibility we place on him, he might not exactly be the ideal person for the role. Besides, Shakib's natural game is more about attacking than holding the fort. In fact having a reliable anchorman in the top 4 will help players like Shakib, Tamim and Ashraful, as they can play their natural game; comfortable in the knowledge that there will be someone who will hang on.
So it is clear that we lack an anchorman and that we are badly in need of one. This is something our selectors, head coach and team management need to seriously think about. We do have players who are capable of playing the role; it's just a matter of identifying and nurturing them. But before we do so, let's explore the making of an anchorman.
Vijeta Pendharkar was always amused at her husband's eccentric routines. Vijetha who is a surgeon from Nagpur would often wake up in the middle of the night to see her husband walking around; as if sleepwalking. Her husband was actually wide awake, busy with yet another shadow practice session in the living room. Her husband, Rahul Dravid, had an obsession with shadow practice at odd hours of the day or night. The guy used to eat, drink and sleep cricket. Even at home, he was constantly working on ways to perfect his technique. In contrast with Tendulkar, Sehwag, Azharuddin, Laxman, and Ganguly, Dravid was more about technique and hard work than talent. Dravid wasn't exactly a child prodigy like Tendulkar, he developed his game with hard work and a methodical & disciplined approach. He was always the first at any practice session, and the last to leave. The man nicknamed The Wall would spend countless hours at the nets perfecting his rock-solid technique. At the time Dravid was breaking into the Indian team, Indian batsmen were known to struggle against the short ball. Most teams would prepare bouncy wickets for them, play three pacers and target to bowl around the rib cage and this formula yielded a lot of success. Dravid was one of the few Indian batsmen who played the short ball with ease, control and perfection. Dravid practiced a lot in the bouncy coir mat pitches of Bangalore to get accustomed to bounce. At the nets, he would get some of his teammates to chuck wet tennis ball from 12-15 yards to simulate a fast bouncing ball. His early coaches claim that it is this fanatical, workhorse-like approach which helped become one of the best batsmen of all time. From a young age he idolized and emulated Sunil Gavaskar for his technical mastery and he knew what he wanted to be and how he wanted to be remembered.
Fact 1: An anchorman has to be a perfectionist with regard to technique. This perfectionism mostly arises out of hard work rather than talent. Think Dravid, think Bevan, think Hussey, think Younis Khan.
Technique alone is not sufficient to help a batsman succeed - concentration, mental toughness and calmness are also critical. This is where Dravid was a master of the game; arguably better than some of his more illustrious peers. He had a phenomenal ability to concentrate, freeze out pressure and play with patience and calmness. In a recent tribute to Dravid by former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie, he mentioned in cricket it is all about who loses patience first. He mentioned good bowlers always have the ability to draw a batsman out of his comfort zone and dismiss him. Dravid on the other hand would draw the bowler out of his comfort zone with his disciplined and patient approach. He would bat for long periods, tire out the bowlers, wait for the poor deliveries then punish them with his fluent technique. He couldn't be lured, was never distracted and always batted with a plan. How was he so calm, so mentally strong? In an interview he stated he acquired this though his lifestyle and experience as a cricketer. Recently his wife elaborated on his lifestyle in an interview: relaxing by watching films and musicals, visiting book stores, reading books, yoga, meditation, visualization, taking time off to think at the beach, planning the night before the match etc. This last bit regarding planning before matches played a critical role in his success. Unlike his other colleagues, Dravid shunned nightlife and partying. Instead, he would stay back in his hotel room and visualize his game plan for the next match, how he would build his innings, how he would play each bowler. His wife claimed cricket was his life - that's all he thought about. He didn't care about gadgets, cars, perfumes, watches, but give him a bat and from the weight he could tell how good it was.
Fact 2: Certain mental attributes are very important for an anchorman: he must be calm, must have the ability to play under pressure, must have good decision-making ability, must have patience and must be brave. While some are born with such attributes, these can also be developed through habit, good lifestyle and experience.
So you have the technique, you have a strong mind. Is it adequate to become a world class batsman and an anchorman? Not exactly! According to Dravid, there is a third element. This element, called 'fitness', plays a key role in a batsman's ability to concentrate and bat for a long time. Dravid was known to spend a lot of time at the gym, and also doing yoga at home to develop stamina and endurance. His wife claims that he even went on a 2-3 month protein diet giving up rice, chapattis and desserts to help him improve his fitness. It has been reported that he even visited an eye specialist to learn techniques and exercises to strengthen his eye muscles. Talk about commitment and dedication!
Fact 3: An anchorman needs to be at prime fitness and have considerable physical and mental stamina. You need both of these to be able to occupy the crease for a long time.
Think about the 2012 Asia Cup. Tamim Iqbal tried to play the anchorman role which he did well, up to a point. Instead of his usual style of attacking he wanted to hold the fort and give the team a platform. Unfortunately once he reached the 60s and 70s, he got too tired and gave it away. Imagine the impact of Tamim converting these knocks into centuries
Dravid's phenomenal technique, shot selection ability, disciplined approach, strong mindset, fitness and work ethic, made him a very difficult batsman to get out. You bowl to Sehwag, he will hit you all around the park but he will get out eventually. But Dravid -he could bat for 3-4 days if he wanted to. There are few batsmen in the history of the game that would put so much value in their wicket as Dravid did. It was very difficult to breach India's wall. He gave their batting lineup a lot of stability and complemented the aggression and stroke-making of Tendulkar, Sehwag, Ganguly and Laxman. He was India's anchorman and probably the best-ever batsman in the history of cricket to play that role.
Fact 4: Probably one of the better descriptions of an anchorman is someone who places an enormous value on his wicket.
This is one advice Dravid has given to Kohli, Raina, Rohit Sharma, Rahane and so on. Fortunately for India these youngsters are listening. How many Bangladeshi batsmen put value on their wickets? Not even out best batsman Shakib!
So who are our candidates for this role? Who can be Bangladesh's anchorman? Who can give us that much needed stability we require from the top order? Who can hold the innings together so that we score a minimum of 200 in every ODI and 300 in every Test innings? Who can be dependable and responsible enough so that the likes of Tamim and Shakib can play their natural, aggressive game? Unearthing an anchorman or even two could very well be our 80-20 solution. It will make us a far more competitive side. It could make our number 2, 3, 4 positions in the batting order stronger (Currently we don't have any fixed players for these positions).There are a few candidates - existing and emerging - for the role. You be the judge:
Mushfiqur Rahim: Our captain has played this role on many occasions. He has good technique, temperament and has played many stubborn knocks in difficult, high-pressure situations. But for someone who has played top flight cricket for 8 years, Mushfiq has not developed much as a batmsan. The extra burden of captaincy and wicketkeeping also shows. Mushfiq is also guilty of being inconsistent and regularly throwing away his wicket. Like many of our other batsmen he had played a couple of gems and cameos but then he disappoints. However, at 24, he still has a lot more time to improve.
Prediction: With a FC average under 30, Mushfiq is not exactly a run scorer. Inconsistency and not placing value on his wicket are two other serious negatives. Chances are he will get pushed to 6 or 7 and will play more of an Ian Healy-role rather than a run scoring one.
Raqibul Hasan: Raqibul showed a lot of maturity when he started playing for the national team. He played with responsibility and a calm attitude which helped him score 8 half centuries in a short period of time. Since 2010 (shock retirement and return), Raqibul has been in and out. He hasn't done anything notable to convince the selector to give him a permanent position. Hopefully, he can figure out his game and make a strong return to the national team. Again, at 24, he has lot of time - if he wants to grow that is. Bangladeshi players need to realize careers don't end at mid 20's. In some countries, batsmen only break into the team in their late 20's. So they shouldn't give up and keep improving. Our cricketing must also have faith in such players getting them to work under specialist coaches, and giving them opportunities in A Team tours. This trend of careers ending at 25 must stop.
Prediction: If he consistently does well in FC cricket, he could be a useful top 6 batsmen in the longer version of the game.
Nasir Hossain: While its Anamul and Mominul who are hogging the hype headlines it is Nasir who is quietly getting the job done. One of Bangladesh's latest finds, Nasir Hossain could very well become another Shakib Al Hasan in terms of importance to the Bangladeshi team. At the raw age of 20, Nasir has shown a lot of maturity and has already had quite a bit of success averaging over 40 in both ODI's and Tests. Nasir plays with so much ease and confidence, it seems like he has been doing it for years. He can change his tempo according to the situation, as we saw in the Asia Cup. Another impressive facet is his ability to keep cool and hold his nerve in difficult situations. He usually doesn't show much fear and is able to spend time on the crease like we saw against West Indies in the recent test series. He can rotate the strike well and can use the long handle if required. If he keeps working on his batting he could be just the guy we have been looking for. However the team management also needs to realize he is a specialist batsman, not an all rounder. They also need to have faith in him and allow him to bat higher up the order so that he no longer only needs to fight with the tail. Or maybe our management is thinking we shouldn't promote him, because who will rescue us from number 7!
Prediction: Bangladesh's 'Mr. Cool' could very well be our solution for number 4. Talent is one thing, ability to execute is another. Nasir has shown both in all three formats of the game. He will give us much needed stability at our top order and is probably our best option for the anchorman role.
Anamul Haque: It is no secret - Anamul is one of the hottest prospects in Bangladesh cricket. Some of the knocks he played in the recently concluded Under-19 WC were anchorman knocks; where he held the innings together. He has done well in his short FC cricket career and in the Bangladesh Premier League. Anamul is blessed with good technique, a positive mindset, and has the ability to build an innings. He can also play according to the situation, as demonstrated with his responsible century against Sri Lanka Under-19, followed by a destructive one against Pakistan Under-19. Hopefully with hard work and focus, Anamul can become a world class batsman and maybe our anchorman.
Prediction: Anamul could make the number 3 slot his in all formats. With hard work and a bit of luck he could be our other batsman, besides Tamim, Shakib and Nasir who will average 35 plus.
Mominul Haque: Anamul might be more talked about, but Mominul is not far behind in terms of potential and ability. Mominul has already impressed at Under 19, A Team and FC level. He too seems to be able to play with a cool head and hold an innings together. Former captain Khaled Mahmud has praised him for his maturity, good technique, and adaptability and has called him an 'educated cricketer'. Hopefully this immensely talented cricketer will live up to his potential and become a force alongside Anamul.
Prediction: As a middle order batsman, Mominul will have to fight for a spot in the team. If Nasir, Shakib, Riyad and Mushfiq take up 4, 5, 6, 7, then Mominul will have to do quite a bit to replace one of these 4. Or he could fight for the number 2 or 3 spot
Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina will say that they owe a lot to the likes of Dravid, Ganguly, Sehwag and Tendulkar for their success. Sharing a dressing room with them, practicing in the nets with them, watching them up close, getting tips and advice - all these factors have played a huge role in their development. Rahul Dravid and Laxman will say they owe a lot to Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar and Azharuddin. You don't learn how to prepare for innings by just listening to your coach or reading a manual; it's usually by watching other legends doing it day after day. The next generation will say the same about Kohli and co. It's a cycle that will continue to help India produce world-class batsmen.
Unfortunately we don't have such masters who our youngsters can look up to and learn from, but it will happen in the future. I am sure that there are already thousands of young boys who want to be the next Shakib (Mominul is an example), but Shakib himself has a long way to go. For now, the BCB can become proactive and bring some guys like Dravid and Ganguly as batting consultants, to work with our youngsters. Easier said than done, but BCB has already done this with Saqlain. In the past we have brought legends like Andy Roberts to work with our young bowlers (We all know the impact of that). We don't need high profile guys: once, Dave Whatmore brought in a specialist batting consultant called Owen Mattau, which immensely benefited our batsmen. We must also get the best out of our former players. Why not appoint Aminul Islam as a batting coach at our academy? Batting technique and skills must be taught at young age, preferably at school level. It is ridiculous if every national team coach has to teach the batsmen the ABCD's of batting. We were also lucky to have two batting coaches as our head coach for the past 5 years and our batting has improved significantly. Hopefully, the BCB will appoint a batting specialist, like they have done for spin, pace and fielding. The nature of our wickets is another factor - we all know how more sporting, bouncy tracks will benefit all our batsmen.
An anchorman needs to have good technique and a strong mindset. We have the players who can play the role, we just need the team management to identify them, train them, mentor them and prepare them for it. They need to be informed this is the role they must play for the team and they need to work towards this goal day and night. The future is looking bright. Imagine a lineup with Tamim, Anamul, Mominul, Nasir, Shakib, Riyad, Mushifur. Never in our history have we had so much batting talent in the same team. But these talented guys need one guy who can always put in the anchor and stabilize the team. Will it be Nasir? Anamul? Mominul? With time we will find out. For the betterment of our cricket let us hope we soon get our very own Dravid, 'the Wall' that we have always been looking for.

Independent Russian and Ukrainian Interpreters
Travel to Russia, Ukraine and nations of the former Soviet Union is often unnecessarily expensive for foreign visitors. Its not because these countries are overly expensive (quite the opposite). Rather, it's a result of foreigners paying over-inflated prices for tours, guides, accommodations and transportation.
To help visitors, we have created a unique and affordable East European travel alternative. We have put together a network of independent Russian and Ukrainian guides and interpreters who can answer your travel questions and provide travel services at a fraction of the cost of a tour operator. By eliminating the tour operator (the "middle man" in a sense), your expenses are significantly reduced and you still have the peace of mind of professional travel assistance.

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team held a youth clinic on Sunday morning at Beachland Park in West Hartford. The Blue Devils spent an hour instructing over 100 young girls from the West Hartford Youth Girls Soccer League.
"This has become an annual event for us," head coach Mick D'Arcy said on Sunday. "I think our players get as much, if not more, out of it than the young girls. Our student-athletes can serve as great role models for these young girls. It's a fun morning and a chance for us to connect with the community."
D'Arcy and the Blue Devils opened the 2012 season this past Friday night at nationally-ranked Boston University.
Next weekend the Blue Devils will travel the University of Vermont for a game on Friday against the Catamounts and one on Sunday vs. New Hampshire.
Central then returns home on Sunday, Sept. 2 to host Providence at 1 p.m. on the new CCSU Soccer Field. It is the first home game on the new turf for the women's team.
On Sunday, Sept. 9 Central will host UConn at 1 p.m. Admission to all CCSU soccer games is free of charge.
"We made a push during today's clinic to try and get many of these young girls to come to our home games, especially the first two on Sept. 2 and Sept. 9," D'Arcy said. "Today they got a chance to interact with our female student-athletes, learn a few skills and most important, they all had a lot of fun."
Following the one hour clinic on Sunday, the Blue Devils stuck around to sign autographs for the girls in attendance. Each participant received a 2012 CCSU women's soccer team photo that was then autographed by the Blue Devils.

Jasper the Bear (Petit Journal, 1970-71)
James Simpkins is the creator of 'Jasper the Bear', the famous bear whose adventures appeared in MacLean's magazine for over 24 years and who is the mascot of national park with the same name. Simpkins studied at the Winnipeg School of Art and began his career as an advertising artist for Beaver Magazine. After serving in the military health service during World War II, he settled in Ottawa and went to work for the Office National du Film.
'Jack the Bear' made its first appearance in MacLean's in December 1948, and Simpkins' single-panel cartoon ran until the artist's retirement in 1972. In addition to 'Jack the Bear', Simpkins made monthly comic strips for The Medical Post, as well as several sequential strips about cavemen.

PJ's Swiss Tree Fort Village in Hensdale, IL 1
Click on a thumbnail under the main image below for alternate views; scroll down for Plan View and pricing.
PJ built an amazing children's garden in his backyard in Hensdale, Il. We are proud that he selected our Swiss Tree Fort Village as it's center piece.
Bears Playgrounds' signature line of cedar log playgrounds is perhaps the best looking in the Universe. Whole log construction gives an organic, wholesome feeling that is striking in appearance. You will not find any bright orange colored wood or circus tent tops on a Bears Playground ... just bold, strong, built to last designs, beautifully stained rustic wood and hunter green accents. Bears Playgrounds are designed to compliment the natural setting of any backyard.
Beautiful and strong . . . our posts are made from sturdy whole logs, approx 5" in diameter. This is 60% more wood than our competitors' 4x4" construction and 273% more than 2x4" construction. Those who are familiar with log construction know that it is subject to the natural process of "checking". Checking or cracks occur across or through the growth rings as they release moisture. This is not a defect in the wood and does not affect the structural integrity. Instead, it is considered a part of the logs' rustic natural look and adds to the uniqueness of each piece.

Camping is a popular outdoor activity that attracts many enthusiasts year after year. Some people camp every month while others only have time for one great excursion into the wilderness each year. This year, millions of camping trips will take place across the country.
Preparation is key to a successful camping trip. Whether campers plan to spend one night or several in the great outdoors, there are certain tips to follow to ensure your trip is as fun and safe as possible.
In order to be comfortable, stock up on camping gear. Tents, sleeping bags and other gear need not be the most expensive. Quality, moderately priced gear works well, too. With care and maintenance, camping gear can last for several years.
A tent will be your first line of defense against the outdoors. Although plenty of people prefer to sleep out under the stars, a tent is a place to avoid inclement weather and insects and have a little privacy. Your tent need not be too big, unless you plan to share it with many of your fellow campers. Since you will be spending the majority of your time outdoors, don't feel pressured to buy the tent equivalent of a three-room suite. A good tent should be sturdy, weather-resistant and large enough to fit the people who will be sleeping in it during your trip.
Invest in a pad to place on the floor of the tent to shield you from the hard ground. The pad will make sleeping more comfortable. If you will be sleeping during warm-weather months, you don't have to worry about an expensive sleeping bag. An average-weight one will be just fine. Don't forget to pack a pillow.
A cooler filled with foods and drinks will tide you over for the trip. If you plan to cook, you will need to bring the ingredients for meals. Otherwise sandwiches should suffice. Some campgrounds have grills and picnic tables available. Otherwise, you can cook hot dogs right over your open campfire.
Where to camp
Campsites may be public or private. Public campgrounds are generally funded by tax dollars and maintained by parks departments or government offices. They may be free to enter or charge a nominal fee for use. Because of the low cost involved, they may be quite popular and crowded during peak camping season.
Private campsites are run by private companies or individuals and may also feature RV hookups. In many instances, private campsites sell memberships to interested parties, which gives access to certain private areas. They may have more amenities than public campsites. Private sites also may employ security personnel and maintenance crews to ensure the areas are clean and safe and to enforce campground rules. This may not be the case at public campsites, where conditions may be inconsistent from site to site.
An online search of both public and private campsites nearby can help you determine which option best suits you. National and provincial parks offer many excellent areas for camping which can be located by checking parks' websites, or sites such as http://www.camping-canada.com/.
Avoid critters
Animals and insects are part of the camping experience. While they are unavoidable, there are some measures you can take to reduce the propensity for bothersome bug bites or clever critters raiding the cooler.
Keeping a clean campsite is perhaps the most effective animal and insect deterrent. Ants and animals are attracted to food bits scattered around the site, so be sure to gather trash and dispose of it properly each day. Try not to store food on the ground. Whenever possible, keep food locked away in an airtight cooler or other container. Dry foods can be stored under lock and key in the car. Racoons, squirrels, birds, and skunks all have been known to patrol campgrounds for an easy meal. Also, you don't want to lure in larger predators, such as bears or wild cats.
To avoid insects, steer clear of perfumed products. Keep lights dim at night, as bright lights attract mosquitoes and other biting bugs. Use appropriate insect repellents to help further repel bugs.
Closer isn't always better
Many new campers make the mistake of choosing campsites that are in close proximity to bathrooms and clubhouses and other reminders of civilization. But these areas tend to feature heavy foot and car traffic and can make for a noisy experience. To avoid the lights, sounds and bustle of too many people, stick with campsites farther off the beaten path. You may need to walk a little farther, but you will likely enjoy a more peaceful camping experience.
Plan for the wetness
Even if it doesn't rain, dew is an inevitable part of camping outdoors. Warm weather with high humidity can make dew even more plentiful. Use a shower curtain or another plastic impenetrable liner beneath your tent to reduce wetness and chilliness while you sleep. Be sure to bring in clothes and remove items from your clotheslines before you retire for the night if you don't want them damp the next morning. Use tarps to cover anything that should not get wet. Be sure to pack plenty of dry socks and changes of clothes and store them in zipper-top bags in the event clothing does get wet. Wet clothes can be uncomfortable and increase your risk for hypothermia.
Carry in and carry out
Part of the magic of camping is being able to enjoy nature and experience the great outdoors. It is crucial to protect natural landscapes as much as possible and to exercise caution around plant life. In addition, be mindful of animal habitats. What you bring to the campsite, including trash, should be removed when you are done. Do not leave a mess behind.
Camping can be an enjoyable and inexpensive vacation option. Learning the ropes and heeding some advice can make camping an enjoyable getaway year after year.

Confession Tuesday: What's Your Superpower? Edition
|Pixieware, Honey.
Dear Reader,
If you've been reading this blog over the last couple weeks, you may have seen hodgepodge of emotions. From I'm sad, I'm excited, I'm getting focused, I'm falling apart. Those are my summaries of feelings, but there have been more.
Today I realized that while my superpower isn't living a stress-free life, it is juggling. It's juggling emotions, tasks, projects, life.
Now, while I'm not the best juggler in the world, I do complete tasks.
Last week, I finished proofing my third collection, Hourglass Museum, and approved the cover.
It feels good to be done. Now, all the final details are out of my hands and I just have to cross my fingers it all turns out beautiful and that you, or someone like you, enjoys it when it's published.
All of this got me thinking that I was feeling down, but I do some things well. We all do things well.
Dear Reader, I confess while I suck at multi-tasking, I am awesome at prioritizing projects and making room in my day for getting one more smaller thing done. I can squeeze in something that's been on my To Do list for weeks right before bed because I get a huge satisfaction of being finished with things. It's kind of a superpower.
So today I'm thinking of superpowers (I want us all to think of our superpowers). Maybe make your own list and if you'd like, share one, two, or all of them in the comment section.
Here are mine in no particular order:
My Superpowers are:
Frugality. Finding cute, well-made clothes for hardly any money, say $4, say $6, say $8. I haven't spent more than $14 on a sweater in years, and that $14 was a splurge.
Poetry. Writing a poem a day (I'm doing this all September with Martha Silano)
Baking. While not knowing how to cook, I can make an incredible Blackberry cobbler, Apple Brown Betty, and I'm pretty decent at scones too.
Finding Things. For a long time, I was the patron saint of lost pets (if your pet was lost, most likely it was at my house and I was caring for it until I found you). Now, I'm the patron saint of lost hearts and lost quarters.
Lollygagging. I can spend the day watching birds or looking at the sea or a tree moving in the wind. I can do this for hours without ever feeling I need to be somewhere else.
Observing. I notice what others don't see. If you bring me to a historic house and tell me about the venting system, I will notice the sparrow's nest outside the window, the crack in the corner that looks like the state of Florida, and the way the man in front of me keeps the small pink teddy bear in his pocket while holding the hand of his daughter.
Enjoying. I am never bored. On long car rides. In a train. Waiting in line. I am always easily distracted from boredom by the world around me.
Hugging animals. Dogs love me. Even the ones who seems mean.
Returning to Places I Love. Most of my dreams are about being at a writing residency. I enjoy going to bed for this reason.
Street Smarts with Compassion. Kindness and knowing who to stay away from.
Listmaking. Long involved lists with due dates, letters of priority and stars.
Ecstasy. Never skipping dessert. I am the friend you want to hang out with because I always have snacks and I don't judge you on what you eat or drink. Eat a Twinkie. Drink three glasses of red wine. Warm up cookie dough in a microwave and eat it with a spoon. In most cases, I'll join you. I have few rules about what I won't eat-- just not cheesecake. Cheesecake is my kryptonite.
Nostalgia. I love the things other people forget about: typewriters, Pixieware from the 1950's, headvases from the 1960's, souvenir pressed pennies, rosaries, trophies, old stamps.
Dreaming. Day and night. It's a gift, a curse, and a blessing.

Author Notes: I initially developed this combination by combining sauteed kale with leftover quinoa, but have come up with a from-scratch method to cook both elements together perfectly. It satisfies the eternal resolution to eat healthy, teaming complete-protein quinoa with antioxidant-rich kale. And it's one-pot easy, making it a simple way to incorporate healthy eating into a worknight rotation. —deensiebat
Food52 Review: Deensiebat's pilaf breathes new life into a familiar classic. Both the quinoa and the hearty strips of lacinato kale (you can use chard or standard kale) crunch lightly between your teeth, and Meyer lemon juice and zest keep the quinoa from being bland. Fresh goat cheese and walnut oil just barely coat the warm pilaf, giving it a creamy, tangy finish, and toasted pine nuts lend some crunch. We love the technique of layering the quinoa and the kale and cooking it all in one pot. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2-4
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
cups salted water
cup quinoa
bunch lacinato kale, washed and chopped into 1" lengths
meyer lemon, zested and juiced
scallions, minced
tablespoon toasted walnut oil
tablespoons toasted pine nuts
cup crumbled goat cheese
salt and pepper
- Bring the water to a boil in a covered pot. Add the quinoa, cover, and lower the heat until it is just enough to maintain a simmer. Let simmer for 10 minutes, then top with the kale and re-cover. Simmer another 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to steam for 5 more minutes.
- While the quinoa is cooking, take a large serving bowl and combine half of the lemon juice (reserving the other half), all of the lemon zest, scallions, walnut oil (you can substitute olive oil if you desire), pine nuts, and goat cheese.
- Check the quinoa and kale when the cooking time has completed—the water should have absorbed, and the quinoa will be tender but firm, and the kale tender and bright green. If the quinoa still has a hard white center, you can steam a bit longer (adding more water if needed). When the quinoa and kale are done, fluff the pilaf, and tip it into the waiting bowl with the remaining ingredients. As the hot quinoa hits the scallions and lemon it should smell lovely. Toss to combine, seasoning with salt and pepper, and the remaining lemon juice if needed.

(Aug. 30, 2011)– Trout anglers hungry for competition can look forward to an exciting new tournament to hit Lake Pontchartrain this fall. With the success of the 2011 redfish tournaments, the Louisiana Saltwater Series recently expanded to include speckled trout and yellowfin tuna.
Hosted by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, the seriesis dedicated to catch-and-release saltwater angling through a series of agency-sponsored fishing tournaments. The tag-and-release tournament is scheduled for Saturday, October 22 at The Dock/Dockside Bait and Tackle in Slidell. LDWF officials will be on hand to help weigh, measure tag and release the trout.
Since its inception in 2004, over 38,000 speckled trout have been tagged through Louisiana's Cooperative Marine Sport Fish Tagging Program. The program has been a cooperative project of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and the Coastal Conservation Association for seven years. However, tagging data on the species dates back to 1989.
"It is through the tagging process and the supporting information provided by cooperating fishermen that we collect the data necessary for tagging projects to succeed," said LDWF Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "Utilizing volunteer taggers allows us to tag a greater number of fish from a wider geographic area."
There is a $100 entry fee for the event. For teams consisting of three members, only two of the members may be 16 or older. The tournament is a 100 percent payout, and payout is determined based upon the total number of boats entered. In addition, there will be hourly prize winners. Scales will be open all day, and the overall winners will be determined at weigh in close.
"The purpose of this tournament is to not only provide a competitive opportunity to the large number of anglers who reside in the area, but to introduce as many anglers as possible to our tagging program and the benefits it can yield," said Pausina.
For complete information, including rules, regulations and online registration, go to www.lasaltwaterseries.com.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

Among the Sportganic ™ line of products is bend+ Cartilage and Joint Recovery, a revolutionary super-stack formula designed to help repair joint tissue and keep cartilage soft as people age, all without the side effects of Chondroitin. The supplement includes ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, UC-II collagen, turmeric and white willow bark, which promote tissue regeneration, flexibility and reduced inflammation.

"As we continue to expand the availability of our line throughout the country, we are confident that these products will become increasingly popular with consumers, as it makes sense on every level whether you're a working weekend warrior or dedicated endurance athlete."
He goes on to state, "Our mission is to break the paradigm of the A-Z vitamin world and present a new way and system of understanding how the body uses natural macro and micro nutrition to increase or maintain healthy levels of proper function within the body's systems throughout life. We believe this leads to better fitness, health, activity, endurance, stamina, energy, and more."

South Africa growth forecasts: Better to err on the side of caution
Following the change of political leadership early in 2018, South Africa was gripped by a wave of optimism. Analysts raised their growth forecasts for the year significantly (Figure 1). At the World Bank, we were more cautious, warning in our 11th South Africa Economic Update that South Africa's growth challenges were deep-seated and structural and would take considerable policy action and time before translating into higher growth. Nevertheless, we too raised our forecast, to 1.4% for the year. Although this made our forecast one of the most pessimistic among South African observers, we were wrong: we were too optimistic! Like other economists, we now expect growth for 2018 to have averaged less than 1%.
