I love comics work, and I hope I never stop doing it. But at the same time, I have my own law practice that I've built up over quite a while - it's been more than a decade that I've spent building that business - so it seems a little premature to just shut it down after nine months of working at a high level in comics. We'll see.

I do a lot of C-sections in my practice, so this was nothing different. The puppies were about two weeks premature and didn't have hair. We were able to revive the puppies.

Looking at the 12 months, there's no question we've improved. We don't really talk about winning the title. It's somewhere we want to get to but what we're not going to do is impose unrealistic targets or deadlines. It's about working tirelessly to improve. If we do the right things and keep working, the results will follow and we'll achieve success. That's what happened in the Champions League. Talking about titles is certainly premature and it's not really our way.

Sprawl is killing people, some 300,000 premature deaths annually because of the sprawl sedentary lifestyle, and it is killing our natural environment, scenic vistas, biodiversity, rural towns and much more.

President Bush has made some statements suggesting the US would accept whatever democratic outcome comes. Should the US be willing to do that, it suggests a major change in their position.

I think what they -- in the US administration -- are hoping for is a more gradual reform process in the Arab world, a more gradual expansion of political participation which Islamist groups do not use as an opportunity to come to power. So while I think there has been a shift in the US Middle East policy we will all have to wait to see how great that shift has been.
