Plaster cast or backslab care instructions for patients and their carers
Disclaimer: This fact sheet is for education purposes only. Please consult with your doctor or other health professional to make sure this information is right for your child.
This fact sheet explains how to care for your child in a cast at home. Please read the following instructions carefully.
If you have any questions or problems, please report immediately to the Emergency Department of your nearest hospital.
Care of the affected arm or leg
- During the first 24 hours try to keep the limb elevated above the level of the heart and move the fingers and toes as much as possible. This will help reduce the chance of swelling.
- Use the sling provided to elevate an arm and rest it on pillows when sitting or lying down. Wear your sling as instructed by your doctor or physiotherapist.
- Elevate a leg on pillows when resting and use crutches or walking aids as instructed.
Check for any of the following:
- Marked swelling of the fingers or toes.
- Marked blueness or whiteness of the fingers or toes.
- Pins and needles or tingling.
- Numbness or loss of feeling.
- Inability to move fingers or toes.
- Severe or increasing pain under the plaster.
If any of those occur, elevate the limb for 20 minutes and encourage finger / toe movement. If the symptoms are not relieved, report immediately to the Emergency Department of your nearest hospital.
Skin care
- Don't scratch under the cast with sharp objects e.g. knitting needles, chopsticks or pens. Children may push objects under the plaster and this could cause a very nasty pressure sore. If there is the slightest indication that an object has been trapped inside the cast, report immediately to the Emergency Department of your nearest hospital.
Cast care
- Do not wet, cut, heat or otherwise interfere with the cast.
- It takes about 48 hours for a plaster of paris cast to dry properly. Allow the cast to dry naturally in circulating air. Keep it away from direct heat such as heaters, electric blankets, hot water bottles and hair dryers. Avoid damage to the cast by not walking on it or resting it on hard surfaces while the plaster is drying.
- It is safer for children to bathe in a shallow bath rather than have a shower. Always ensure the cast is totally protected with a plastic bag, well sealed at the top by adhesive tape. Do not put limb in shower or immerse in bath.
- If the cast becomes loose, cracked, and soft or is no longer keeping the injured body part immobilised, please report to your nearest Emergency Department.
- Keep the cast dry. When having a bath or shower, cover the cast with a plastic bag taped securely at the top and keep the cast out of the water as much as possible.
- Do not push any objects inside the cast.
- Check the circulation of fingers or toes. If you are concerned, elevate the limb and wriggle fingers or toes.
- Follow the specific instructions of your doctor and/or the physiotherapist.
- Your child should not take part in any very active play or sport.
- If you have any concerns please go to your nearest Accident & Emergency Department.

Recently, we have been conducting lots of research on how to achieve global social media analysis. We finally come up with a new methodology based on Sharism philosophy called Social Brain Framework. It throws the foundation for the future of a larger program investigating collective intelligence, memes and other social networks phenomenons. Here is the general introduction :
What is Social Brain Framework?
Social Brain Framework (SBF) is a set of concepts and tools to analyze online social interactions. Using the analogy of (human) brain, it provides new methods to lead Social Network Analysis (SNA) in borrowing methodologies from neurology, linguistics, psychoanalysis, sociology and computer science.
Connecting social neurons
We envision the formation of a Social Brain through the remote and direct connections between individuals through Internet services. Conceived on the analogy of a human brain, Social Brain is the anatomic body of this sharing process. Primary entities are called social neuron or seuron forming a large network of billions of neurons and trillions of connections. They represent all human and non-human (animal, things, machines) forms of beings taking part into the human society (yet through the Internet network).
Why SBF?
The new participatory practices of knowledge let us imagine how a composite form of collective intelligence can emerged. Though, the very high complexity of sets and subsets of interactions through different networks let us with nothing but a feeling of dizziness. We need a conceptual image for a better representation and description of ongoing phenomenons. We also need a set of tools to investigate all available data produced during all those generative exchanges. SBF offers a mental images and a real-life toolset to achieve such high-end objectives.
How to use SBF?
SBF has been designed for experiments and research purposes but is intended to be used for any types of operations, following needs of its user. SBF integrates functions for requesting, formatting and processing available data about social neurons and their interactions on social networks. All those information are stored in SBF database and can be reached through its API.
Let's make it !
We need you to join our efforts, to create a team of energy that will study together how we could implement the social brain framework. People who provides time, vision, code, ideas around this wide concept and will eventually make it real.

Officially unveiled at IFA in Berlin, the new AX900 series promises "the company's best picture performance" rivalling the TV tech for which Panasonic is best-known: plasma. Also announced was an 85-inch 4K TV and a step-down series of 4K sets.
Google and Apple also crack the top 20 in patents -- but the search giant has a slight edge in patents awarded.
analysis The Lumia 2520 tablet is a match for Microsoft's Surface 2, which may make for an awkward partnership.
The Lumia 1520 may see adoption in overseas markets such as the Asia-Pacific region, but it will struggle here where Nokia's brand remains weak.
Microsoft didn't pick up Nokia's entire patent collection as part of its acquisition plan, but it's got more patents under its belt for the next decade and potentially beyond.
Twitter dives into the streaming music scene with its own app, and Android users can try Chat Heads without Facebook Home. Also, Bridget Carey previews new gadgets, including a smart thermostat and a wireless charging case for the iPhone 5.
The computing giant wins the patent game again, but it looks like Samsung, Google, and Apple will be tough competitors in the future.
Relative ease in relations among government and private interests in the Internet ecosystem are a welcome change of pace at CES. But it could be the calm before the storm.
The Sony Reader PRS-T2 is a W-iFi-only e-reader (there's no 3G option) and it comes with 2GB of internal memory but has a microSD expansion slot for additional memory that accepts up to 32GB cards.
Facebook has nabbed some 750 patents from Big Blue, a move that closely follows Yahoo's lawsuit accusing the social network of patent infringement.

Our Top 30 Summer Songs Revisited
Hey, if Billboard can unashamedly repurpose content, then so can we!
Time to roll down the car windows, fire up the grill, re-up the sunblock, and get into all kinds of summer tunes. Our personal best-of-summer list runs the gamut from cool to hot, easy-listening to classic pop-punk.
D-Mac's Favorite Albums of 2011
The 20 albums released in 2011 that I listened to the most. Of course, there's significant overlap with the countless other best-of lists, but there are gems here that were overlooked by many, as well as return-to-form releases and great records from long-time favorites.
Rusty B: Top Ten 2011 List
Here is my top ten for 2011, as you can see I have some chill wave and some straight up dance-floor bombs filling out my top ten. This has been an amazing year musically, and we were blessed with tons of great albums and singles.
D-Mac's Daily Candy Holiday Playlist
Stay two funky steps ahead of the usual Peggy Lee and Vince Guaraldi holiday fare you're bombarded with at Starbucks with this bag of audio treats.
A playlist of jazz, soul, surf, funk & pop hand-selected by DJ D-Mac for Daily Candy.
Tastes Like Funky Chicken
Forget "The Chicken Dance" and the dreaded Zac Brown Band's "Chicken-Fried;" here are some great songs about chicken.
On Heavy Rotation
Just a few songs I've been personally feeling lately, including great new releases from indie artists St. Vincent and CANT, a brilliant cumbia/house hybrid from Quantic, vital revivalist soul from Raphael Saadiq, and some incredible reworkings of classics from Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye.
Our Top 30 Summer Songs
With the Memorial Day weekend behind us, summer has officially started. Time to roll down the car windows, fire up the grill, re-up the sunblock, and get into all kinds of summer tunes.
Bossa Beat!
Classic bossa nova on Discos Elenco, my favorite Sea and Cake album, and one jazz-funk raer courtesy Som Records.
Latin Folk Indietronica
Alongside our signature Latin & disco flavors, Rusty & I have been spinning more indie at our Vaqueros Electricos night the last couple of months. Here are a few tunes I've been feeling.

A Holter monitor is a continuous 24 hour heart monitor. It records your heart's rhythm onto a cassette while you are doing everything you would normally do during the day. This assists the physician because the monitor records when you are more likely to experience symptoms during regular activities, exercise and sleep. The test is no different than a normal electrocardiogram other than you are mobile while the test is being performed.
Test Preparation
Since you will not be able to bathe or shower while you are using the Holter monitor, we recommend that you do so before you come in for your appointment. Do not apply creams, oils, or powder to your chest before the test. Be sure to wear loose, comfortable clothing to your appointment.
The Test
When you receive a Holter monitor, 5 electrodes are placed on your body and attached to a device that looks somewhat like a Walkman. This takes about 15 minutes.
After You Get Home
Do not touch or adjust the electrodes on the monitor or get them wet. Do not have X-rays taken while wearing the Holter monitor. Avoid using an electric blanket, heating pad or water bed. Record your daily activities and any symptoms you experience in the diary provided. You may not take a bath or shower during the test.
After the Test
At the end of the 24 hour period, you should remove the electrodes and return the unit to our office. We will write the report and you will be contacted regarding the results. It is important to return the unit the next day at the same time you received the monitor the day before so recorded information is not lost.
The event monitor is very similar to the Holter Monitor except for the event monitor is a recorder that records your heart rhythm only when you want it to. Event monitors help your doctor diagnose problems that don't happen often enough for an EKG. Sometimes there are situations where your heart's rhythm disturbance or some symptoms of irregular heart rhythm occur infrequently and cannot be documented during a single 24-hour recording obtained with a Holter monitor. Due to this, an event monitor may be used for approximately one month so recordings can be taken when symptoms occur.
Carry the monitor with you at all times. Be sure not to get the monitor wet, place it near a magnet it, or use an electric blanket when you are using the event monitor. If your monitor uses sticky patches (electrodes), you must make sure that they are always securely attached to your skin. You should maintain your usual activity level and keep a diary of your daily activities such as gardening, resting, eating, taking your medications or walking and the symptoms you feel while doing these activities. When you feel symptoms, you will record your heart's activity with the monitor. To do this, you will either hold the monitor against the skin of your chest over your heart or press a button on the monitor. You may be instructed to send the recording of your EKG over the phone to a monitoring center. To do this, you simply hold the monitor to the mouthpiece of the phone and push a button. The staff at the monitoring center will ask you about your symptoms and review your EKG. They will also prepare a report for your doctor. If your EKG shows a dangerous rhythm, your doctor will be notified immediately.
You will return the monitor and your activity diary to the doctor's office when instructed to do so.

My partner lives there. Unblockable neomax.
she's aiming for evo2k12, right?
Yes, Cristina and I are hoping to go to Evo. It mostly depends on the price of the flights dropping.
I think its even expensive for Americans to go, I think they booked Evo around 4th of July times, so prices go way up, Ive seen some people on SRK bitching about it, so I can only imagine how expensive it must be for a foreigner.
All the best either way.

Hopkinsville Police say 18-year old Austin Gee, of Pembroke, was making a left hand turn onto Country Club Lane, when he pulled into the path of a vehicle driven by 38-year old Steven Johnson, of Rochester. The force of the impact led to Johnson's vehicle overturning. A passenger in the Johnson vehicle, 36-year old Misty Meredith, also of Rochester, was injured as a result of the crash, and was reportedly flown to a Nashville hospital. The accident occurred around 8:30pm.

After an evenly fought Test series between South Africa and Australia, Cricket South Africa CEO Haroon Lorgat is pitching for the Proteas playing longer Test series against formidable opponents like England, Australia. Lorgat's statements come after talks with Cricket Australia (CA) chairman Wally Edwards that the next South Africa-Australia Test series could feature four matches. Talks are also on whether the series between the two teams can be renamed as Kallis-Ponting Trophy.
"You've got to recognise the quality of the cricket, I think [in the recent series won 2-1 by the Baggy Greens in SA]. It's not a bad stepping stone to have recognised quality by (adding) another Test or two. That principle might come out."
"We initiated it [the discussions]… Wally was very excited when we chatted at Newlands a few days ago. There is agreement that we want to enhance the narrative around series between our countries; for example, a proper naming of the series, like the Kallis-Ponting Trophy, is gaining momentum," Lorgat was quoted a saying by Sport24.
According to the report CSA is exploring the possibility of having the year-marked four-Test series against England to five Tests.
"The great challenge is obviously to find the time and space on the international calendar to fit in [expanded Test series]. There is always pressure on the calendar over the peak Test time of December and January [in the southern hemisphere]." Lorgat added.

Tairaa: If you look at all the forces, they form a tree. Electricity and Magnetism are leaves on that tree. Their parent node is Electro-Magnetism. The Weak force leaf and Electro-Magnetism's parent node is the Electro-Weak force. Add the Strong force to Electro-Weak and get the Unified force. This combining is possible with greater understanding the forces and happens with higher temperatures. At the beginning of the universe the temperature was so high that all the forces were one. But our current theories have not brought in line the Gravitational forces (there are 2, Terrestrial Gravity and Interstellar Gravity). We should be able to bring those 2 together and then bring that together with the UF to form the Grand Unified force. So far no go but there are some interesting theories; their are Quantum theories of Gravity.
All of the forces were "solidified" out as the universe cooled and the forces separated. So it follows that our understanding of gravity is flawed. I believe Relativity is ultimately wrong. Sorry Albert.

New Heavy Putter™ Enters Golf with Radical Step In Design, Paradigm Shift Progno
Weigh 90 Percent More Than Conventional Putters; TOUR Success Already Achieved(SOUTH SALEM, New York) - Weighing 90 percent more than standard putters and buoyed by immediate acceptance on the PGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours, a new company, Heavy Putter, will introduce three revolutionary models at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Florida, January 27-30 (booth #4035).
The new Heavy Putter™ models combine heavy-mass putter heads and an unprecedented Weight Management System™ consisting of a heavy upper-shaft insert and interchangeable tip weights, to create a patented balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters.
The models:
A3 - blade-style head with a heel mounted, double-bend shaft configuration
B1 - mallet-style head with a center-mounted shaft
B3 - mallet-style head with a heel-mounted, double-bend shaft
Various standard, mid- and long-putter lengths are available for men and women in both right- and left-handed models. MSRP is from $239. Contact: 888-PUTTER4, email@example.com, www.heavyputter.com. Three additional models are planned for production later this year.
The Heavy Putter™ represents a radical step in putter design. Industry executives and media, as well as golfers, are already touting the Heavy Putter's unique concept, design and technology as the first new putter in decades that can revolutionize golf. They liken it to the paradigm shift that occurred with the advent of electric golf carts, metal woods and plastic cleats - changing how golf is played.
The standard Heavy Putter™ total weight of 885 grams (roughly two pounds) - the heaviest among U.S.G.A-conforming putters - whereas conventional putters average 490 grams (roughly one pound).
Distinguishing characteristics and competitive advantages of the Heavy Putter™ include:
Heavier head mass: Greater weight - 450 to 550 grams in the Heavy Putter; 75 to 225 g more than standard putters - better utilizes the human elements in the putting stroke, as it disengages golfers' small wrist muscles and engages larger muscles of the upper body, promoting a pendulum effect. Furthermore, head stability is increased throughout the impact zone, causing a more consistent swing path and constant acceleration throughout the stroke for improved accuracy. This is especially beneficial on today's smoother greens. The heavier mass also produces a softer feel by dampening vibration at impact.
Balance-point technology: The Heavy Putter™ has a patented balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters. Raising the balance point of the putter brings the center of mass of the putter closer to the center of mass of the golfer. This increases the stability of the putter throughout the stroke. The higher balance point also creates a tighter end- over-end roll of the golf ball. Changing the available Tip Weights alters the balance point to accommodate each golfer's unique release. It also encourages lighter grip pressure that creates a smoother stroke, more solid contact and improved distance control.
Weight Management System: There are two components exclusive to the Heavy Putter: (1) in all putters, a 250-gram insert in the upper shaft (handle of putter) raises the balance point and protects against wrist breakdown through impact and an uncontrollable putter head; and (2) a tip-weight kit allows golfers to customize head weight by adding aluminum and copper tungsten weights (20 g to 70 g) to putter heads, with recommended weight changes for golfers missing right, left, short and long.
The launch of the innovative Heavy Putter™ follows more than two years of scientific research and testing by golfers of myriad skill levels. In just three months on the 2004 Tours, the Heavy Putters were immediately put in play, earning six top-10 finishes, according to the Darrell Survey, and used by more than 60 TOUR members, including a Masters, U.S. Open and PGA Championship winner.
Heavy Putter™ creator Stephen Boccieri, 52, a senior engineer specializing in engineering mechanics by training, is well-respected in golf-equipment circles for being ahead of the curve in technology. For nearly a decade, he headed a research company that provided shaft profiling, stress analysis and methods of installation for the largest shaft manufacturers in golf. Boccieri also worked for many of the top golfers in the world, matching them with equipment that optimized their performances.
"Our Heavy Putter™ Technology is a new concept in golf that improves golfers' scores," says Boccieri. "The unbiased feedback from independent tests shows the Heavy Putter™ to be like flying first class - once you switch, you can't go back. With an improved path, greater stability and a consistent release through impact - resulting in a better roll of the golf ball - it's no surprise golfers will have fewer putts per round with the Heavy Putter."
More About The Heavy Putter
Heavy Putter, L.L.C., based in South Salem, NY, incorporates the highest-quality, advanced-design principles in all putters:
Made with 303 Stainless Steel, a very soft metal that creates a soft putting feel
Perimeter heel-to-toe weighting - creating a high Moment of Inertia, a scientific trend popular in today's putter designs - resists twisting, producing straighter, more accurate putts that reach the hole.
Face-balanced heads allow the putter head to naturally find its center (square its face) at impact.
The diamond-cut face pattern optimizes the golf ball's roll and imparts a soft feel directly following impact
The "Surround Sight" semi-circle alignment aid - exclusive to the Heavy Putter™ - located directly behind the face, promotes consistency on center hits. This results in a tighter deviation of impact on the sweet spot versus a traditional putter with a line or dot alignment mark.
The unique channel formed between the heel and toe weights on both blade and mallet putters promote a visual track to the target.

The case of Levies Force in Balochistan
By Lieutenant General (retired) Abdul Qadir Baloch
In a recent article the former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Afzal Shigri, has termed the restoration of Levies Force in Balochistan as a step backward towards "the dark ages". Mr. Shigri's analysis, with its unhealthy mix of historical inaccuracies, half truths and generalizations, is an excellent specimen of the mindset based in Islamabad.
The article is also an affront to the collective wisdom and aspirations of the people of Balochistan expressed in unanimous resolutions passed by the Balochistan Assembly opposing the disbanding of Levies Force in the province. It is no wonder then that despite total support and infusion of billions of rupees from the previous regime, the ambition of the Police bureaucracy and its allies in Islamabad to extend ''Police Rule'' in the province ran into unanimous opposition from the people of Balochistan and ground to a halt.
The origins of Balochistan Levies Force dates back to the establishment of Baluchistan (as spelled by the British) Agency in later part of seventeenth century by Robert Grove Sandeman (1835-1892), the pioneer Political Assistant of the British in Tribal Areas of Dera Ghazi Khan District. As a result of a series of setbacks, the British felt the need to win over Baloch and Pashtun tribes by making them responsible for maintenance of law and order in their respective areas. Robert G. Sandeman realized that the centralized and impersonal system of policing in vogue in rest of colonial India was unsuited to the culture and norms of Baloch and Pashtun tribesmen rather it may incite the local tribes against the government. Accordingly in his expeditions stretched over a period of three years, accompanied by influential Sardars of Koh e Sulaiman, Robert Sandeman personally visited chieftains of various tribes and sub-tribes and persuaded them for ensuring safety and security to the life and property of government functionaries in lieu of certain perks and privileges. The tribesmen so deputed for duties were named as 'Levies' which originates from the levying of the burden of maintaining peace and order on the respective tribe or community.
The system so evolved proved to be highly effective in bringing almost all the tribes of Balochistan under the control of the government with least use of force or capital investment and helped Sandeman to become the Agent to the Governor-General of British Baluchistan in 1877, an office which he held until his death (Robert G. Sandeman died in 1892 and was buried at Bela, the capital of Lasbela State as per his will). These community policing units were later integrated and organized into a Balochistan Levy Corps under Captain H.F. Showers as its first Commandant in 1880. Owing to the success of a classic example of community/tribal policing, Khan of Kalat replicated the same in Kalat State as well by bestowing the responsibility to local Sardars.
In the post-independence period, the Federal Government continued to support this system both in former British Baluchistan and newly merged Kalat State because they did not want to interfere with this time-tested and cost effective arrangement for law enforcement in the rural areas of entire Balochistan. The force initially maintained writ of the state under the operational command of respective tribal Sardars and Maliks supervised and directed by Political Agents and Deputy Commissioners. In 1955 (beginning of One Unit era), however the operational command was shifted to functionaries known as Dafedars, Risaldars and Risaldar Majors officially appointed by Political Agents and Deputy Commissioners ending the direct influence of the chieftain and reorganizing the Levies into a disciplined and effective law enforcing agency while respecting the local norms and culture of the people of Balochistan. With the passage of time while the jurisdiction of Police Force was gradually increased in the urban centers, ''A areas'' of the province by making heavy investments, the Levies men still relied, until disbanded, on their camels, horses and meager resources for patrolling duties and ensured safety to life and property to the people through a community-based system of policing in rural ''B areas'' of Balochistan.
Here, one needs to clarify that the 'B areas' in Balochistan and Levies Force are distinct from the tribal areas of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) /Khayber Pakhtunkhwa. Terming 'B areas' in Balochistan as 'ungoverned spaces' is a travesty of truth and unfair. Unlike FATA (North and South Waziristan), which operate under the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR), the 'B areas' in Balochistan operate under normal laws. Both the Police Force (A area) and the Levies Force (B area) in Balochistan operate under the same set of laws, namely, the Criminal Procedure Code 1898, and Pakistan Penal Code 1860. There are regular courts of Judicial Magistrates and Districts and Sessions Judges in the entire 'B area' and the accused arrested by the Levies Force are brought for trial under regular laws as in vogue elsewhere in Pakistan.
As a matter of fact, the concept and philosophy of community policing through Levies in Balochistan has been badly misrepresented rather abused by few policemen to sell their argument in Islamabad. By employing a dozen of Levies men from a particular tribe, the state effectively entrusted the whole tribe or community with the responsibility to assist the government functionaries in maintenance of public order and peace. A Levies sepoy from Mengal, Zehri or Kakar tribe in Levies uniform enjoys the ownership and support of his respective tribe. A miscreant would think ten times before harming or retaliating against the Levies Piada for the serious consequences he or his tribe may face from the tribe, Levies-man hails from. The same Mengal, Zehri or Kakar wearing a police uniform, on the contrary does not enjoy the immunity, ownership, aspiration and strength of his respective tribe for policing. The myth that a Levies official such as a Risaldar would not arrest his Sardar is again not true as in the past there are a number of incidents when the tribal chieftains have been detained by Levies personnel.
In theory, the Federal Government's huge investment into the conversion of Levies area (B) into Police area (A), as referred by Mr. Shigri was supposed to pay dividends by reducing criminal activity in the erstwhile 'B areas'. However, a look at the province's crime statistics as compiled by Home and Tribal Affairs Department, Government of Balochistan tells a different story. In the year 2000, Police Force (then17,656 in strength bearing a cost of over Rs. 1000 million), controlled 5% of the area with a total of 306 cases of serious crime as against 304 cases of similar nature in the remaining 95% area under Levies (then 7,026 in strength bearing a cost of only Rs. 220 million) jurisdiction. However, from 2007 to 2009 when the entire province experienced Police rule, the strength of the force doubled and expenditure moved up manifold. The cases of serious crimes, as scaled above rose to 957 during 2009. I fail to understand as to what is the vision of Mr. Shigri with regard to the role of Law Enforcing Agencies (Police or Levies) in Balochistan. The judgment should be based on effectiveness with regard to their role for combating the crimes and the price that a poor province like Balochistan should pay. Be it the crime or the budgetary figures, or aspirations of the Baloch and Pashtun people of Balochistan, by all means, Levies Force is a much viable mean of policing in B areas of Balochistan.
Mr. Shigri and his likes may like to know that such remotely induced and controlled, so-called development projects have yielded complicated situation for the province. This externally imposed development and law enforcement agenda has saddled Balochistan with the highest surge in crimes rate than ever before besides placing a huge financial burden on the provincial exchequer which is growing by the day. Balochistan was very comfortable with an Inspector General of Police, four Deputies, a dozen of Superintendents and Levies Force having a total financial outlay of approximately rupees one billion per annum to maintain law and order during late 90s. The current Police Force, having one grade 22 IG, four grade 21 Additional IGs, nearly fifteen grade 20 DIGs and an enormous fleet of SSPs , SPs, DSPs and other ranks has become a white elephant on exchequer of the poorest province. What is even worse, almost all of the superior police bureaucracy hails from outside Balochistan who are aliens to the norms and culture of the province. Planned and approved at Islamabad, an aircraft has been purchased for the Police Force worth Rs.200 million which is unable to land in approximately 20 districts of the province due to non availability of air strips. Thousands of vehicles purchased for maintenance of law and order are either seen escorting Police officials or dignitaries and a few hundred are plying in other provinces with serving and retired senior policemen for household duties.
In an age when even advanced countries of the West are trying to cultivate local communities for policing, the Police Force in Pakistan remains an over-centralized institution with key postings and transfers being controlled from Islamabad. The Police Order 2002 further exacerbated this situation by taking away the power of recruitment of DSP's from the Provincial Governments and their induction through CSS Exams. The last batch of local DSP's in Balochistan was inducted through Public Service Commission in 1992. Since 2002, the induction of ASP's (equivalent of DSP) has been carried out by the Federal Government. As in other Federal services, the share of Balochistan Province in the induction of ASP's is negligible. Police Service of Pakistan (PSP), whose doyens are criticizing the community-based Levies System, 'a handful of politicians passing a unanimous resolution', do not seem to notice the contradiction inherent in the very structure of their recruitment, tenure and due share of the provinces which is anathema to the spirit of community-based policing that is the norm in most of the developing countries.
While it is true that the Levies Force has a different organizational structure than the Police Force which leads to occasional frictions between Levies and Police Forces, it more than makes up for this shortcoming due to its bonds with the local community and the general esteem and trust that it enjoys in the eyes of the people of Balochistan. Unfortunately, the Police Force has failed to win that trust and esteem despite a vigorous propaganda campaign from Islamabad for the entire length of Musharraf regime. When the decision of extending Police jurisdiction in Balochistan was taken by the Provincial Cabinet in 2003 under intense pressure from the then Federal Government, it was opposed by all political parties in Balochistan, including members of the ruling PML (Q) terming this decision an affront to the culture and norms of the people of Balochistan. On the other hand, nobody in the entire province shed a single tear over the recent Cabinet decision regarding the reversal of Police jurisdiction. Instead, as a cursory reading of national and regional language press would show, the restoration of Levies Force was welcomed by all and sundry.
There are good reasons for this mistrust. The Police Force brings with itself a ''Thana culture'' where ordinary people feel abused and insulted and which promotes all kind of abuses of power such as illegal confinement, torture, chethrol (the nation may refer to the recent footages on electronic media) and giving cover to criminal elements in return for bribes. Unfortunately, the Police Force has failed to put a stop to this Thana culture despite their lofty claims and repeated attempts at reform. An example of this indifference to the plight of ordinary citizens was on display on January 10th, 2010, when Police officials, with the connivance of their higher ups, rose up in open revolt against the Provincial Government over pay and allowances and inflicted a reign of terror on the innocent citizens of Quetta by resorting to extreme steps such as aerial firing. This kind of behavior would have been unthinkable in the Levies Force. This is not because Levies personnel are angels but because, despite the fact that they received lower pay and allowances, they would think twice before harassing innocent people for fear of disapproval and censure from the local community.
The myth exploited by the mindsets in Islamabad that it's a combined struggle of Nawabs and Sardars to revive Levies in Balochistan is totally unprofessional and smells for vested interests. The nation may like to know that the present Provincial Assembly has only four Nawab or Sardars out of a total of 65 members namely Nawab Aslam Khan Raisani, Sardar Sanaullah Zehri, Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind and Sardar Aslam Bijenjo. The unanimous resolution of Balochistan Assembly for revival of the levies force twice and inclusion of the same in Aghaz e Huqooq e Balochistan Package represent the aspirations of the people of Balochistan acknowledged by Federal and Provincial Governments and has no link with the Sardari System. Sir, it is not a Sardar but the ownership of a common Baloch and Pashtun of Balochistan asking for the revival of a system more akin to them and much closer to their norms and culture.
With the historical intervention of 18th amendment, I think it is now high time that the wizards of Islamabad should rethink regarding their role and start 'minding' their own business. Mr. Shigri's suggestion to the Interior Ministry in Islamabad to take notice of the situation is a blatant call for interference of the Federal Government in a subject matter which now according to the constitution is under the exclusive domain of the Provincial Government, and hence is a constitutional violation warranting a suo motu action by the higher judiciary.
Enough of harm has been caused to this unfortunate nation. It will be great favor to this poor nation if such 'wise men' stop meddling in matters pertaining to other geographical and ethnic entities regarding whom their knowledge and wisdom is sketchy and unsubstantiated.

The final competition date for the Miss Hong Kong 2013 is drawing near and while everyone is busy preparing for this big day, the participants appeared in their sports swimwear today.
The swimwear round during the finals is one of the most anticipated events and today, the public finally got a glimpse of the contestants in their bathing suits. Amongst the 20 contestants, 7 members stood out above the rest – #2 Whitney Law (羅紫君), #5 Ashley Chu (朱智賢), #7 Acca Sum (沈桂澄), #13 Tammy Ou Yang (歐陽巧瑩), #14 Sara Lam (林思韻), #16 Peggy Tsui (徐韶蓓), and #20 Vicky Chan (陳偉琪).
Although both Ashley and Acca were both extremely thin, they possessed slim waists and showcased their proud upper bodies. During the shoot, the public noticed that Vicky, who denied that she was a bisexual, bared a slight resemblance to previous Miss Hong Kong 2006 Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) because of her lovely smile.
While these 7 contestants stood out in confidence with their toned bodies, hot favorite Virginia Lau (劉溫馨) has been dropping in wattage lately. Initially deemed as a favorite to win the crown, other contestants were being featured more in the media lately.

Looks like sports bras.
yea it does. xP
GD as in.. Gdragon?
Vicky is gorgeous!
How in the world is she known to be bisexual? Just because she gets along with both males and females doesn't show that she's bi -____-
Just because someone is pretty, beautiful or attractive does not mean that they cannot be bisexual. Angelina Jolie who many claim to be one of the most beautiful woman in the world is bisexual. In fact, I have seen many lesbians who are really beautiful, but sadly they only like women.
Angelina Jolie at this moment is no longer bisexual.
^ that does not mean she still does not have interest in women.
'sadly'? how is it sad that some women are beautiful and are lesbians and would only like females?
@Funnlim, just because she's married and has kids, doesnt mean she has suddenly 'stopped' becoming bisexual. Unless she said it herself that she has discovered she only now has interest in men.
5,7,13 is pretty from these scuba diving inspired swimsuits
Tammy au Yeung looks pretty here but she looked average in the earlier official picture.
don't like the way the video was taken.. zoomed at the breasts
welcome to 21st century media.

Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen's unexpected decision to resign lifted Economy Minister Jan Vapaavuori to among the favorites to become the next premier as the ruling parties see no need for early elections.
Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen announced he will step down as leader of the northernmost euro member to seek a career on the broader European or international stage.
The political group that tripled its support in Finland's latest election on an anti-euro platform says the northernmost member of the currency bloc can't exit monetary union on its own.
The leader of Finland's euro-skeptic True Finns, Timo Soini , backtracked on signals he may be willing to discuss a rescue plan for Portugal amid signs his party won't compromise on its opposition to European bailouts.
Less than a year after Timo Soini led his anti-euro "The Finns" party in a fourfold surge in Finland's parliamentary election, voters are showing they won't reward candidates running on a bailout-bashing agenda.
Finland's Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen wants the opposition's support for a new austerity plan to ensure the country retains its AAA credit rating.
Finland's euro-skeptic bloc is poised to enter a government with the pro-Europe National Coalition led by Finance Minister Jyrki Katainen after voters used yesterday's election to protest against funding bailouts.
Finnish voters may prove as great a threat to the euro region's retooled bailout plan as German taxpayers.
Sauli Niinistoe, a former finance minister who led Finland into the euro in 1999, won the first round of the country's presidential race as voters handed a loss to candidates calling for an exit from the single currency.
Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen urged voters to embrace more moderate policies as he cautioned against the threat to Europe posed by a surge in extremists bent on splitting the euro area.
"This amounts to the government declaring bankruptcy."

In short: Ok, could be betterIn full: No issues with organisation and course was ok but not that interesting although accept this was changed a bit due to poor weather and respect and appreciate that this was considered prior to the day.Disappointed that we got a poor quality bag after the fab t- shirt last year and thought this was poor for the fairly steep entry fee.Also disappointed at the lack of toilets after this was an issue last year too and it seemed that improvements were put asides at the expense of saving money.I think this will be a false economy in the long run as runners ( including myself) may not come back as a result ( I would however, if I knew the issues above had been addressed)Date of review: March 31, 2013
In short: Lovely marshalling!In full: This race had some of the nicest marshals I have ever come across in a race- really friendly and encouraging to all runners not just to those from their own club. They gave off a great impression of Bourneville Harriers club and I would definitely want to join the club if I lived nearer by.I found it quite difficult to pace myself as no mike or k markers and this was my biggest criticism of the race.The memento was great and really different to anything I have had in a finishers goody bag before.Would have appreciated more warning about the often muddy, cross-country type terrain in the race information sent out as I would have chosen not to wear my brand new road shoesDate of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Well organised, well mapped courseIn full: I would definitely run this rac again as it was well organised and a good route albeit a fairly challenging one.Lots of water stations and nicely marshalledDate of review: September 6, 2012
In short: Really good value and well marshalled raceIn full: I have to really commend the marshals at this race as they were all really encouraging, on the ball and friendly.Race was excellent value for money, nice to get a finishers vest instead of tshirt or medal and banana bread was awesome :)Date of review: August 26, 2012
In short: Challenging raceIn full: I would not recommend this race to a beginner. My partner and I have taken on 1-2 races a month for the past few years and I honestly feel this was one of the toughest I have ever done- the uphill climbs were endless.Having said this, it was a good challenge for intermediate and more advanced runners to really push themselves.The atmosphere was friendly even though the race was predominantly populated b club runners.Organisation was pretty good but my one piece of constructive criticism would be the finish. As there were a lot of runners finishing around 50-55 minute mark, a big queue formed to collect water and t- shirts. Luckily some kind people did bring drinks around to people waiting in the queue but would have been better if they had given drinks right at the finish and split this away from the t- shirt standDate of review: August 12, 2012


text: @SZapper - You are right he probably was disappointed. But it is my understanding that mendel was a monk and that his early genetic experiments came out of a fascination of the natural world that he believed to be an act of creation. So perhaps he was motivated by a higher cause than most scientists. I would like to think that he worried about larger things than respect from the scientific community. But who knows what was going on inside Mendel's head. He was obviously a complicated guy.

Macquarie ready to broker Storm deal
PUBLISHED: 23 Oct 2012 13:46:01 | UPDATED: 23 Oct 2012 13:46:09PRINT EDITION: 23 Oct 2012Macquarie Bank will start trying to broker a deal with Storm Financial clients at a mediation session next week, a court has heard.
The bank is being pursued in the Federal Court in Brisbane by a group of investors whose financial security was devastated when the Townsville-based financial services company folded in early 2009.
They are seeking compensation from Macquarie on the grounds that it engaged in "unconscionable conduct" in approving loans and also breached the terms of those loan contracts.
The class action is being run in conjunction with a case by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), which is asking the court to declare that Macquarie and the Bank of Queensland were "knowingly concerned in the operation of (Storm's) unregistered scheme".
A group of investors is also pursuing the Commonwealth Bank, which recently made a deal with ASIC guaranteeing a total of $270 million will be made available to customers who invested through Storm Financial.
ASIC estimates the total loss suffered by all investors who borrowed money from banks to invest through Storm to be around $830 million.
Macquarie Bank lawyer John Sheahan told the Federal Court on Tuesday he and legal representatives for the investors will meet next Friday for a mediation session in Brisbane.

Election Results from Around the Valley
POSTED: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 - 8:17am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:33am
Valley voters cast their ballots this weekend, but if you didn't make it out to the polls, you may still have a chance to vote for your candidate in a runoff.
Harlingen voted for the first time in single member districts returning some incumbents and selecting some new city commissioners, but the federal government has not approved the newly drawn district lines as of yet. In Brownsville and Rancho Viejo, voters will have to vote again because candidates who got the most votes did not get more than 50% of the voters.
There will be a runoff in San Benito's district 3 and in Donna, a $52 million dollar bond issued for schools did pass. Most places saw a low voter turnout on Saturday.

A mysterious uncharted island, a cute adventurous teen guy, a feisty teen girl and the hilarious hero — The Rock — all add up to adventure and pleasure for kids.
If any of your kids or tweens have even an iota of an adventurous spirit, they will be gripping their seats as devoted "Vernian" Sean (Josh Hutcherson) sets off on a dangerous journey to find the mysterious island that the infamous science fiction author wrote about in The Mysterious Island.
Sean is convinced his devoted adventurer grandfather Alexander (Michael Caine), who has been missing for two years, sent him an urgent message by Morse code to meet him on an uncharted island in the South Pacific.
Of course, no one knows this legendary island exists, but Sean's new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), insists on coming along to protect Sean — and good thing he does.
Hank has some extremely useful skills for finding and discovering the island, after having served in the Navy. And then again, his professional skills as a building contractor come in mighty handy too, as it turns out.
Gorgeous, brave Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens) and her loving dad Gabato (Luis Guzmán) end up getting forced along for the ride and yes you meet Sean's eccentric granddad, Alexander.
Get ready for giant lizards and insects, a tropical paradise, lost civilizations and more.
It's all something that comes along very rarely these days — a family film that will set your kids' and tweens' imaginations on fire! Have fun!

Saturday Stumbles: September 11, 2010
In honor of this week's walk through IFBC, I thought that I would highlight some of the bloggers recipes whom I met while at the conference. This is by no means all of them, but a great sampling none-the-less.
Here is what I read this week:
Once A Month Mom's
- Southern Fried Dreams indicated she wanted to make the corn dog muffins, or at least her children wanted her to.
- Rookie Moms writes about filling your freezer before the baby arrives and mentions many of the OAMM resources as well as Erin of $5 Dinners.
- The Tumpak's had the Johnny Marzetti with Cheesy Noodles on their Menu Plan Monday. And while you are there check out her recipe for Mexican Roundsteak.
Recipes (that caught my eye)
- Saucy Chipotle Burgers from My Kitchen Addiction
- Barbequed Pork Shoulder from Champagne and Cornflakes
- Raspberry Apple Pie from What Would Cathy Eat
- Easy Blueberry Kiwi Lemonade Tart Recipe from My Man's Belly (isn't that the coolest name for a food blog?)

Ali Chaisson, manager of commercial and regulatory affairs with Investcan Energy Corp., addresses the Bay St. George Chamber of Commerce.
Although many companies have been exploring for oil for decades in western Newfoundland, it's still a frontier area with the wells being considered wildcat.
That's according to Ali Chaisson, manager of commercial and regulatory affairs with Investcan Energy Corp., a company carrying out exploratory work in the Bay St. George area.
He was a guest speaker at the regular monthly meeting of the Bay St. George Chamber of Commerce on last week, where he outlined what people in the area can expect to see from a planned pilot project by the company.
Mr. Chaisson said one of the things learned through petroleum exploration to date is that unconventional resources are going to be needed to get the oil to surface in western Newfoundland.
That's because of the type of geology in the region, which poses an engineering problem for the companies doing the exploration.
Mr. Chaisson explained there are three types of oil-bearing rocks in the region, including shale, tight and cold bed methane.
He said the type the company he is with is dealing with in the Flat Bay area is tight.
The fact that they had a gas find in the area is positive news and now the company is studying the science of the area to determine where it moves next.
Mr. Chaisson said a "lot of shirts have already been lost" trying to make the big find in the area and that Investcan Energy Corp. would compile as much data as possible as it moves forward.
"Too many companies have rushed out to drill wells. We have to acquire all the data collected over the years and need to talk about fluid viscosity. It's all about science," he told the chamber members in attendance.
"If we work hard enough with good partners, everything is doable, but in the end we will have to let the rocks decide." Ali Chaisson
Different options
Mr. Chaisson said tight geological formations usually have oil in shallow wells that is cold, so it requires secondary and tertiary methods to make that oil come to the surface.
He said water or steam would be their preferred injection fluid; however, it's possible some other type of injection fluid may be required.
The company is looking at drilling in 2013 in the Flat Bay area near Test Hole 7, which is the one that they've had the most positive results to date.
In that hole the company plans to do every test possible, coring it, logging it to death and drilling to what is known as the basement, where the granite is located.
"We want to push it to the extreme to get as much data as possible," said Mr. Chaisson.
He said the risk with unconventional exploration is high, due to geological risk, a risk of inefficient injection and the fact that oil is always between two faults, so the fault structure has to be understood.
"It's high risk, but if you happen to hit it has good rewards," he said. "Tight oil represents the most promising source of hydrocarbon production in western Newfoundland."
Mr. Chaisson said Investcan Energy Corp. respects the land and the company is all about sustainable production.
"If we work hard enough with good partners, everything is doable, but in the end we will have to let the rocks decide," he said.

Herman loses in semis at Kansas Am
By The Hays Daily News
KANSAS CITY -- Trey Herman's run came to a halt in the semifinals Saturday in match play at the 103rd Kansas Amateur Championships at Indian Hill Country Club in Mission Hills.
Herman, a Fort Hays State Unversity golfer and Hays High School graduate, lost 5 and 4 to Sam Stevens of Wichita after earning a 1 up win against Ryan Argotsinger of Lee's Summit, Mo., earlier in the day in the quarterfinals.
Herman finished 4-1 during the three days of match play.
