Step back into the golden era of sports memorabilia collecting: the 1980s and 1990s. A nostalgic time before cellphones were ubiquitous and the internet was just budding, when collectors eagerly flocked to ‘card shows’ to pursue their passions. Harvey Brandwein and Stephen Hisler, two former middle school teachers from the South Bronx, rose to prominence as promoters of the nation’s most successful and esteemed sports memorabilia shows.

A Day of Infamy Revisited
Tragic events can often be the catalyst and inspiration for the creation of meaningful works of art. In this case, it was the September 11th catastrophe of 2001 which provided the stimulus that would ultimately lead me down a totally unforeseen path, revealing an attitude never previously observed. Other than a proclivity for drawing geometric shapes, no artistic tendencies had even been evident.
The one constant theme in my work is the recurring use of nines and elevens to generate images. Other symbols and characters are also employed; sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
People who have explored my world have seen different things. Take the journey and see what you can uncover. Remember, in the future, be open to the possibility that sometimes unexpected abilities can appear anytime in one’s life. Be ready to embrace the opportunity these possibilities present and take them down your own personal road of discovery.

A Guide to Writing a Capstone Public Policy Report
In my 10 plus years of teaching, I have found that students struggle with two major challenges in writing a quality capstone paper. First, they have difficulty creating a rigorous analytical framework. Too often, the papers tend to be more descriptive in nature, which means that the final policy recommendation may be flawed. This book attempts to fill that gap by discussing in detail the various components of the framework as well as their interdependence. Second, most public policy books are theoretical or conceptual, but it is difficult for students to make the transition from understanding the concepts to performing the actual quantification of the metrics so necessary to do the analysis. This book provides detailed instructions on how to do the quantification.

A Man's World
A Man’s World tells the tragic story of the Martins, a family destroyed by domestic abuse and its shattering consequences. This vivid portrayal of domestic turmoil illustrates how dysfunction can rob even the most innocent of fulfilling lives, asking where the bystanders were who could have made a difference.
It opens as teenagers Janet and Craig find young love before Craig shows his dark side at the senior prom. Their toxic relationship spirals into a marriage as cruel and domineering as Janet’s own parents. The story bears witness to the terror in which Janet, Craig, and their three children live under Craig’s dictatorship. They could have been a family who played ballgames and went on picnics; instead, they endured Craig’s insatiable thirst for control until it ultimately killed him.
Emerging from the wreckage is a very different Katie than the carefree little girl she once was. Tormented by her father and neglected by her mother, Craig’s behavior molded Katie into a resentful woman obsessed with revenge against domineering men. To prevent others from suffering her mother’s fate, Katie will go to any length necessary… even kill.

A Story that Needs to Be Told
Should a woman experience spiritual events in her life, that give her undeniable proof the Heavens are real, that we are able to receive direction from those beyond the grave, it does not seem to be fulfilling the intent of the heavens to keep this knowledge to herself.
Should this same woman receive such encouragement from beyond to share her experiences with others, may she recount only the truth for others to interpret; whether the facts seem sensible, or leave one with more questions. She realizes anyone picking up this book has possibly had experiences of their own.
Should this same woman realize that she is just the messenger and that the stories have been provided by the heavens, deem it fair to acknowledge this fact, and donate one half of all proceeds to help others in need.
