Speaking at a conference convened to discuss the future of the NHS estate, Matt Custance, a partner in KPMG's healthcare practice, urged professionals across the public and private sectors to stop focusing on historical differences and, instead, find ways to build partnerships based on trust and a mutual desire to improve patient care.
Addressing senior leaders from a range of backgrounds that included NHS clinical staff, CCGs and private sector healthcare providers, he also highlighted how the current multi-layered approval system is hindering opportunities to create a healthcare system fit for twenty-first century needs. Matt Custance said: "KPMG's monthly survey of the jobs market has consistently highlighted demand for highly trained staff across the NHS. Couple this with its well-known financial constraints, the general public's support for the NHS and their preference for a healthcare system free at the point of service, and it quickly becomes clear that the public and private sectors will do better in partnership."Rather than seeing each other as adversaries, now is the time to pool resources and expertise so that the needs of patients come first. At its most basic level, this calls for a change of culture; one in which managers in both the public and private sectors take a fresh look at the risks that have historically held them back and, instead, engage with each other to resolve problems. We need to build a culture of informed trust.
"This means that central NHS bodies need to place more confidence and reliance on local NHS management to solve problems locally. Guidance and regulation currently require far too many separate approvals from far too many bodies.
"A culture of informed trust is also critical to the private and public sector working together. There are some great examples of the private sector working co-operatively with the NHS to deliver great outcomes – but the only way to get to this point is for both sides to talk openly about their needs.
"Real partnering also means walking away from accepted 'no-go' areas. Private sector funders have historically been reluctant to finance refurbishment of their existing estate – but surely, if that is the best value solution for the NHS, we need to find a way to make it work for everyone. Given that there is a large amount of vacant, unused NHS estate, we shouldn't be replacing old estate with new unless that really is the best value solution."

Guard recruitment continues upward
WILLMAR -- Today's high school graduates were finishing the seventh grade when American troops rolled into Iraq.
Five years later and the war still unresolved, they are joining the Minnesota National Guard in numbers higher than any seen before 9/11.
Some are signing up knowing that they will be deployed to Iraq as soon as they complete their training, local recruiters told the Tribune. All prospective recruits are told that an overseas deployment is a very real possibility.

Congressional delegation joins in on Sea-3 propane controversy
Thursday, August 7, 2014
NEWINGTON — Three of the four members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation are urging a federal group to look into the environmental impacts of a proposal to expand a propane storage facility.
Portsmouth is, like the congresswomen, concerned with the trains that ship propane to and from the facility.
A Foster's Daily Democrat reporter, upon contacting Sea-3, was transferred to Edward Dupont, President of the Dupont Group, which is working with Sea-3 on the project.
Cory Riley, Manager of the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, confirmed that the track travels through the reserve, but did not offer a comment about the congresswomen's request for the NOAA to investigate. |

Rose 'Surprised' By Dr Pepper Lawsuit
GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose was "taken off guard" when he found out the band's legal team was threatening to sue drinks manufacture Dr Pepper over their botched promotional deal with the band.
The singer insists he had nothing to do with the decision to threaten legal action against officials at the beverage company, after a planned soft drink giveaway went awry.
Company officials refused to believe the band would release their long awaited LP this year (08), and offered to hand out cans of soda to every U.S. citizen if the record hit shelves before 2009.
The group released the album in November (08) after a 15 year wait and drinks bosses set up an internet scheme which encouraged people to register at the brand's website on the day of the LP's release (23Nov08) to claim a coupon redeemable for a can of pop.
But the huge demand crashed the site's servers and left many fans without their vouchers. Lawyers for the band insisted the promotion was not good enough and sent several letters to company officials demanding an apology.
But Rose is adamant that the decision to publicly chastise Dr Pepper chiefs was nothing to do with him - as he was too busy promoting the new LP to care.
He writes on the band's official website, "The actions taken so far had nothing to do with me and I was taken off guard as I had specifically told our team, 'Who f**king cares?! Right now we have a record to deal with.' My feelings are after their public response. It was cute. Maybe the guy who got it rolling originally meant well, but it turned out sour and maybe it's just me, but he seems like maybe he wants a bit too much attention..."

The City University of New York's Accelerated Study in Associate Programs (ASAP) has gotten a great deal of positive attention in the last few years, and for good reason.

Congratulations, One Dupont. You are now officially carrying the water for the worst of the for-profit higher education industry. On Monday, the American Council on Education (ACE) sent a letter to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce supporting Republican legislation that would overturn just about every effort that the Obama administration has made to rein in the for-profit college sector's worst actors, who have been caught time and again taking advantage of low-income

The three-year college degree is one proposal we haven't heard a lot about in policy circles lately.
A few years ago some reformers presented as a way to cut the cost of college for many. If students had to take fewer classes, or they earned more credits in high school (or some combination of both of these things), well then we'd have them out in three years and everyone would save money.
This idea is not ridiculous—the three year degree bachelor's degree is common in […]

But "just jobs" represents a common perspective on the purpose of college education, at least among conservative policy makers. We have public universities, basically, for jobs training. […]

CHICAGO — A few years ago, 4-year-old Danny was on the verge of being expelled from a Chicago preschool for violent behavior when a woman named Lauren Wiley was called in to help.

As a college professor doing research in higher education finance and accountability policy, there are many times when my enjoyment of college athletics leaves me conflicted.

Since American community college students are more likely to be older, commute to school, work part-time, and care for dependents than their public four-year and private nonprofit counterparts, they need access to more flexible pathways that meet their needs and move them toward a credential.

NEW YORK — Nurul Ali was less than half way through the science portion of the new high school equivalency exam last fall when he closed his testing booklet in frustration. After a year of preparation, he didn't recognize most of the topics.
"I thought, if I read any more of these questions I'll go crazy, so I just closed my book and guessed," said the 20-year-old Queens resident, who arrived in the United States two and half years ago from Bangladesh and finished

TAMIAMI, Fla. - As the end of the class period nears, students in an algebra class silently solve problems on a four-minute quiz.
Later that day, two math teachers review every answer on these quizzes. They aren't grading the papers. They are detectives. They're combing through each pencil stroke, searching for clues. For each incorrect answer, they retrace the student's steps to figure out what went wrong. Then they use this information to devise a plan so that every student
Before taking on her role as lead writer of the Common Core State Standards, Susan Pimentel - who has a bachelors degree in early childhood education from Cornell University - was chief architect of the American Diploma Project Benchmarks (ADP), which some consider a precursor to the Common Core. Like the Common Core, ADP sought to close the gap between high school and the expectations of college and the workplace.
After completing the Common Core writing process, Pimentel founded the
7:00 PM | How Companies Can Make Millions off American Public Education, Despite Not Doing a Very Good Job
Pearson Education is one of the country's largest education companies. The British-owned conglomerate is the parent of a variety of media brands, including Addison-Wesley, BBC Active, eCollege, Fronter, Longman, MyEnglishLab, Penguin Readers, Prentice Hall, and Financial Times Press. The company's Operating profit in 2012 was about $1.4 billion.
But that doesn't mean the company is altogether doing a good job. According to this fascinating article at Politico:

MIAMI, Fla. — Every school in the Miami-Dade County Public School system - nearly 400 buildings - is wired with Wi-Fi.
The nation's fourth largest school district, with about 355,000 students, also revved up bandwidth to ensure that schools had enough speed as more students and teachers went online. District leaders purchased new devices and digital curricular content to use in the classroom. They are now well ahead of President Obama's goal to modernize connectivity in every

A congressional task force says colleges and universities are overburdened by federal regulation, including requirements that they disclose certain consumer information to students and families.
The task force, appointed by a bipartisan group of senators, consists entirely of 16 present and past university and college chancellors and presidents and representatives of university associations, and the report was produced by the universities' primary lobbying organization, the American
This is the first of three posts on early learning in a new Elementary and Secondary Education Act. Change is on the horizon for reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, a process which acquired some new urgency when the Republicans took control of the Senate in January. And "change" is really the only way to move things forward. Senator Alexander's (R-TN) bipartisan partisan approach—where he introduced a discussion draft without conferring with

9:43 PM | Q and A with Daniel Weisberg of TNTP
NEW YORK — Is there a better way to recruit, train, evaluate and retain public school teachers?
As much of the country shifts to new Common Core standards, Daniel Weisberg, named CEO last week of the alternative teacher-certification and advocacy group The New Teacher Project (TNTP), thinks that question is more important now than ever.
It's one reason the former private sector lawyer and chief labor strategist under New York City Schools Chancellor Joel Klein believes giving
3:40 PM | Scott Walker Is ALL about Jobs
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is a controversial figure. During his tenure as the chief executive of the state, he's become notable for his enthusiastic efforts to destroy the power of public labor unions by requiring them to recertify annually and taking away the power of those unions to bargain collectively over pensions and health care.
But recently he went ever further in his efforts to roll back progressive achievements in his state. According to a piece by Kevin Drum over at

How to Give a Back Tickle (Treasure Hunt Remix)
This is a really fun to do with your kids as you tuck them in for bed. When I was a kid I used to say, "Do the Treasure Hunt! Going on a Treasure Hunt! Please! Please!" It's especially fun for ticklish people. It's called "Going On A Treasure Hunt"
1First, have the recipient of the back tickle lay down face first as if they are going to receive a back rub.Ad
2This works best on bare skin (tickle factor) but either way is cool.
3Say out loud, "Going on a treasure hunt..."
4- simultaneously with your finger spell out "going... on... a..." by tracing big letters (one on top of another) on their back.
5- Draw a big treasure box. (as you say "treasure hunt")
6Say "X marks the spot"
7- simultaneously draw a big "X" and "dot" the spot right in the middle by lightly stabbing it with your finger.
8Say "Three miles down and..."
9- Draw a big three, slowly draw a line down and a big arrow.
10Say "... a question mark!"
11- Draw a BIG question mark and dot it. (you could make a popping noise with your mouth as you dot it if you like sound effects.)
12Say "A pinch..."
13- Pinch 'em on the side (lightly! this isn't supposed to be painful)
14Say "A squeeze..."
15- Squeeze 'em a little. (Shoulders or side, whichever works best.)
16Say "A tropical breeze..."
17- Blow on neck. Optional, give 'em a little kiss on the neck first and then they can really feel the breeze.
18Quickly tickle them all over their back!
19By now they are surely giggling, so tuck 'em in, give 'em a kiss and say "G' night"Ad
We could really use your help!
success hacks?
sim cards?
decorating school supplies?
- Use an ominous voice or maybe a pirates voice for effect. Throwing all sorts of sound effects like wind, ocean, tropical birds or whatever you want is fun too.
- Don't push hard, use quick light movements, like you are tickling with a feather.
- Change it up the way you want it. One variation is just spelling things out and seeing if they can tell what you are spelling.
- Great memories with this one.
- Never ever do the treasure hunt tickle during the day "by request", save it for a reward at bedtime.
- Try not to "do it again! do it again!" One time should suffice.
- Only do the treasure hunt when they are down and ready to stay in bed.

Product Information:
Cryogenically treated blades let you use your plane more and sharpen less! The tool steel known as A2 has a great reputation for its superior edge holding properties. Renowned blade maker Ron Hock has gone one step further to cryogenically treat A2 blades. This extreme cold treatment (-320F) increases the steel's toughness without any decrease in hardness. You get improved wear resistance without any increase in brittleness, so a Cryogenically treated blade will hold its edge longer. What does all this mean to you? Simply, that you can keep working instead of sharpening! Fits Stanley, Bailey, Record, Footprint, and most other planes. Honing required before use.

Great blade worth the money
By Nick
from Marquette, MI
This blade is a great improvement over the stock blade I had in my Stanley #4. It holds an edge for a considerably longer period of time and I am able to get it a good deal sharper than the stock blade. I did not have the issues of flattening that the other reviewer had. All it needed was some very minor honing and sharpening and it was ready to go.
Warped and non-functional
By Bob
from Charlottesville VA
I'm afraid Hock may be riding on their reputation. This rather pricey plane iron was so out-of-flat that I gave up after several hours of trying to flatten it. It was warped both length-wise and width-wise, easily noticeable when held against a straight edge. [...]

New Geologic Map Shows the Beauty of the Asteroid Vesta
- Tuesday November 18, 2014
A new colorful map reveals the geological history of the asteroid Vesta.
A new colorful map reveals the geological history of the asteroid Vesta.
For the first time ever, astronomers have discovered a ring system surrounding an asteroid. The finding is a complete surprise to planetary scientists, who are yet unsure exactly how such rings could have formed.
An asteroid first sighted yesterday has most likely plunged directly into our planet's atmosphere and burned up. The object's name, 2014 AA, highlights the fact that it was the very first asteroid discovered this year.
When McLaren launched the MP4-12C in 2011, it promised a comprehensive infotainment system called IRIS. Unfortunately for McLaren — and the 12C's buyers — the company supplying IRIS went belly up a month before it launched. So McLaren needed something new. Quickly. Enter Android.
By looking through the catalog of known asteroids, aerospace engineers have identified 12 candidates that we could reach out and capture using existing rocket technology.
The piloted Mars flyby concept was first articulated in detail in 1956 by Italian rocketry pioneer Gaetano Crocco. NASA work on the concept began in 1962, and the space agency devoted as much study effort in the 1960s to piloted Mars flybys as it did to piloted Mars landings. NASA officials even went so far as to announce that they would seek new-start funding for a 1975 manned Mars flyby in the FY 1969 NASA budget. Alas, Congress rejected the proposal in late 1967 in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire. In the wake of yesterday's InspirationMars announcement, space historian David S. F. Portree presents a list of Beyond Apollo blog posts on the piloted Mars/Venus flyby concept.
A large space rock known as asteroid 2012 DA14 will be zipping by our planet on Feb. 15, coming within 28,000 km of Earth, the closest approach ever seen for an object its size. You can catch the event live using a backyard telescope or binoculars or watch it here on Wired with our live feeds from around the world.
A fresh paint job might be all that's needed to prevent a giant asteroid from raining destruction upon our planet.
Though strange-sounding, the strategy would make use of a real-world phenomenon known as the Yarkovsky effect, named for the Russian engineer who discovered it in 1902. The effect results from the fact that asteroids heat up as they bask in the sun's light.
Watch as the asteroid 99942 Apophis, once classified as the most likely asteroid to hit the Earth, zooms past our planet during two live shows today from the Slooh Space Camera collaboration. The first show begins at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET and the second will start at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
NASA is reportedly considering capturing an asteroid to put in a high orbit around the moon. Details remain sketchy but the plan could be fully realized in as little as six to ten years.

Requirements for Credit Union Auto Loan Approval
If you are planning to buy a new or used car and you do not have enough cash, you can always opt to apply for credit union auto loans. They are one of the best choices when you are looking for the cheapest auto loans in the market. Through these, you can save a lot of money when it comes to incidental costs and interests.
Compared to banks and financing companies, credit union auto loans offer lower interest rates and members pay less incidental fees for their loan application and documentation. Usually, this type of loan works best if you choose car dealers with an associated credit union.
If you are buying a car and are interested in acquiring one of these credit union auto loans, here is a guide on the requirements needed and ways to get the best rates.
You need to be aware that credit unions only offer auto loans to their members. These institutions have different requirements and criteria for you to be eligible for membership. Some of the most common requirements for a potential member include working for a particular company, being a resident of a particular community or village or being a member of a specific organization.
Everyone can be a member of a credit union. Even if their requirements are a little challenging, if you are patient and do your research you will find the perfect credit union that suits you.
Credit and Employment History
It should be noted that credit unions who approve credit union auto loans have limited financial resources compared to banks and other financing institutions because they solely acquire their funds through their members. As a result, they must appropriate their funds wisely.
In line with this, members who apply for credit union auto loans must pass their standards in terms of their FICO score. The credit rating of an individual determines the likeliness of him/her paying his loan and other obligations. Credit unions don't want to lose their earning potential with their funds to some individual with a bad credit history.
Most credit unions who give out auto loans require loan applicants to have at least a stable career in the company they are working for. By definition, it means having worked for a particular company for at least 12 months.
Gross Monthly Income
Credit unions also investigate the earning capacity of a loan applicant. They look into your gross monthly income and deduct all the expenses you have. After this, they will determine whether your net income will still be sufficient to pay the monthly amortization of the loan amount.
Bottom Line
Credit Unions that offer credit union auto loans are no different than banks and financial institutions when it comes to the requirements and documents needed for your application to be processed. The main advantage of getting credit union auto loans is that you could save a large margin in incidental fees to process and document your application.
Now that you know the requirements, let's discuss the ways to get the best rates.
Check Your Credit Score and Know How Much Interest You'll Be Paying
You shouldn't sign on loan without being aware of how much interest you'll be charged. Find out what the annual percentage rate will be. Interest rates, along with all the other fees that come with a loan approval, are called "finance charges." Knowing how much you have to pay makes it easier to stick to a budget.
Your credit rating is a big factor in loan approval and it can determine not only how much you get but at what interest rate you'll be charged. By law, you are allowed one free yearly copy of your credit report from each of the three credit reporting bureaus (TransUnion, Experian and Equifax). To obtain these, simply visit AnnualCreditReport.com. Once you've received your reports, check them for inaccuracies, and correct any you find.
Select the Length of Your Loan
The longer the loan term you agree to, the more you'll end up paying. Where loans used to have an average duration of three years, there are now loans with six and eight-year terms. If at all possible, stay away from any loan with a term longer than 72 months. It just doesn't make good financial sense to keep paying on a loan for a car that's old and worn out. A shorter-term loan will save you a lot of interest and car loan lenders are more likely to agree to a short-duration loan.
Your Down Payment
Your down payment is the amount that you pay upfront toward the total purchase price of your vehicle. It's separate from the loan amount. The more you put down on a vehicle, the less you'll have to finance. You've probably heard a lot about "no money down" car deals, but beware—these are set up to benefit the dealer. The more you're able to put down on a car, the more likely it is that the seller and auto loan companies will be able to approve your loan.
Read the Fine Print
You should be on the lookout for hidden fees, late fees and other charges such as prepayment penalties. These can sometimes fall into the "miscellaneous" category, and as such, aren't usually part of the discussion between you and your credit union. Taking a little time to read the fine print may be a hassle but it will save you money in the end.

HUD and Powers questions
I have some questions regarding the HUD and the Powers when being in space. Currently, I've got the rank of a captain with 4 bridge officers available in space.
1. Which "power-grids" do you use: Do you use the bar with the bridge officer icons and their dedicated powers or do you prefer to have all powers in one big single grid? 2. When I select the large single grid (3x10 slots) the small grid which shows the beam and torpedo weapon readiness is hidden. Is there a way to display it together with the large grid? 3. Concerning the large grid: It's already quite stuffed with all the powers. Is there a way to enlarge it to have more than 3 rows available? 4. Is there a fast way to see all of MY powers (coming from my captain)? When I hit P, all available powers are displayed but I cannot distinguish at one glance which are mine and which are derived from my bridge officers. 5. Is it sensible to equip a bridge officer several times with the same powers at different levels? For example, the powers "Reverse Shield Polarity" and "Emergency Power to Shields" are very important to me. So would it make sense to equip my engineering office with "Reverse Shield Polarity I", "Reverse Shield Polarity II", "Emergency Power to Shields II" and "Emergency Power to Shields III"? Or is this just a waste because of the cooldown timers and should I only use different powers? Thanks in advance! RobinSword |
1. I use setup 4, with the boff bar and 3 line grid. I kind of liked having them all in one grid, but by the time you hit admiral, there's just not the space. With universal consoles on the rise it's only going to get worse.
2. If I'm not mistaken, it's still shown, but you might have it overlapping. Press escape and click "Rearrange HUD" and move it. Reducing the UI scale in the options also helps - I have mine set at 70%. 3. Nope, though there are hidden bars past the ones you have. Click the up and down arrows at the end of a row to bring up the hidden rows. I put my transwaprs and slipstream drive on one of those so they're out of the way in combat. 4. Unfortunately, no, but if it helps you don't get that many powers. This list might help sort them out, after a while you remember which are which better. 5. Yes. They do share a cooldown, but it's not a full cooldown. When you use an ability, it triggers two cooldowns: The full cooldown on itself, and the shorter system cooldown on all powers of the same set or similar powers (for example: EPTS shares a system cooldown with EPTW). Say you have EPTS1 and 2, the system cooldown is half the full cooldown, letting you alternate between the two to keep shield power high all the time. |
Arrangement 3 does make the BOffs and etc disappear. I think most everyone uses 2 or 4.
Is it possible then, when using 4, to hide the bridge officer bar?
/GenJailRemove Hud_Bridgecrew_Trays_Root Or you can do it the easy way... open the menu and choose the rearrange hud option. for the Bridge officer powers box, choose "hide" |

Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson OBE[2] (17 February 1864 – 5 February 1941)[3] was an Australian bush poet, journalist and author. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural and outback areas, including the district around Binalong, New South Wales, where he spent much of his childhood. Paterson's more notable poems include "Waltzing Matilda", "The Man from Snowy River" and "Clancy of the Overflow".
Andrew Barton Paterson was born at the property "Narrambla", near Orange, New South Wales, the eldest son of Andrew Bogle Paterson, a Scottish immigrant from Lanarkshire, and Australian-born Rose Isabella Barton,[3] related to the future first Prime Minister of Australia Edmund Barton.[4] Paterson's family lived on the isolated Buckinbah Station near Yeoval NSW[5] until he was five when his father lost his wool clip in a flood and was forced to sell up.[6] When Paterson's uncle died, his family took over the uncle's farm in Illalong, near Yass, close to the main route between Melbourne and Sydney. Bullock teams, Cobb and Co coaches and drovers were familiar sights to him. He also saw horsemen from the Murrumbidgee River area and Snowy Mountains country take part in picnic races and polo matches, which led to his fondness of horses and inspired his writings.[3]
Paterson's early education came from a governess, but when he was able to ride a pony, he was taught at the bush school at Binalong. In 1874 Paterson was sent to Sydney Grammar School, performing well both as a student and a sportsman. During this time, he lived in a cottage called Rockend, in the suburb of Gladesville. The cottage is now listed on the Register of the National Estate. He left the prestigious school at 16 after failing an examination for a scholarship to University of Sydney. He went on to become a law clerk with a Sydney-based firm headed by Herbert Salwey and was admitted as a solicitor in 1886.[7]
In the years he practised as a solicitor, Paterson also started a writing career. From 1885, he began submitting and having poetry published in the The Bulletin, a literary journal with a nationalist focus. His earliest work was a poem criticising the British war in the Sudan, which also had Australian participation. Over the next decade, the influential journal provided an important platform for Paterson's work, which appeared under the pseudonym of "The Banjo", the name of his favourite horse.[8] As one of its most popular writers through the 1890s, he formed friendships with other significant writers in Australian Literature, such as E.J. Brady, Harry Breaker Morant and Henry Lawson. In particular, Paterson became engaged in a friendly rivalry of verse with Lawson about the allure of bush life.[9]
Paterson became a war correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age during the Second Boer War, sailing for South Africa in October 1899. His graphic accounts of the relief of Kimberley, surrender of Bloemfontein (the first correspondent to ride in) and the capture of Pretoria attracted the attention of the press in Britain.[3] He also was a correspondent during the Boxer Rebellion, where he met George "Chinese" Morrison and later wrote about his meeting.[3] He was editor of the Sydney Evening News (1904–06) and of the Town and Country Journal (1907–08).[10]
In 1908 after a trip to the United Kingdom he decided to abandon journalism and writing and moved with his family to a 40,000-acre (160 km2) property near Yass.[6]
In World War I, Paterson failed to become a correspondent covering the fighting in Flanders, but did become an ambulance driver with the Australian Voluntary Hospital, Wimereux, France. He returned to Australia early in 1915 and, as an honorary vet, travelled on three voyages with horses to Africa, China and Egypt. He was commissioned in the 2nd Remount Unit, Australian Imperial Force on 18 October 1915,[3] serving initially in France where he was wounded and reported missing in July 1916 and latterly as commanding officer of the unit based in Cairo, Egypt. He was repatriated to Australia and discharged from the army having risen to the rank of major in April 1919.[11] His wife had joined the Red Cross and worked in an ambulance unit near her husband.[6]
Just as he returned to Australia, the third collection of his poetry, Saltbush Bill JP, was published and he continued to publish verse, short stories and essays while continuing to write for the weekly Truth.[6] Paterson also wrote on rugby league football in the 1920s for the Sydney Sportsman.[12]
Paterson died of a heart attack in Sydney on 5 February 1941 aged 76. Paterson's grave, along with that of his wife, is in the Northern Suburbs Memorial Gardens and Crematorium, Sydney.
On 8 April 1903 he married Alice Emily Walker, of Tenterfield Station, in St Stephen's Presbyterian Church, in Tenterfield, New South Wales.[13] Their first home was in Queen Street, Woollahra. The Patersons had two children, Grace (born in 1904) and Hugh (born in 1906).
The publication of The Man from Snowy River and five other ballads in The Bulletin made 'The Banjo' a household name.[14] In 1895, Angus & Robertson published these poems as a collection of Australian verse. The book sold 5000 copies in the first four months of publication.[15]
In 1895, Paterson headed north to Dagworth station near Winton, Queensland. Travelling with fiancée, Sarah Riley, they met with her old school friend, Christina Macpherson, who had recently attended a race at Warrnambool in Victoria. She had heard a band playing a tune there, which became stuck in her head and replayed it for Paterson the autoharp. The melody also resonated with him and propelled him to write "Waltzing Matilda" [16] While there has been much debate about what inspired the words, the song so catchy it became one of his most his widely-known and sung ballads.[17]
In addition, he wrote the lyrics for songs with piano scores, such as The Daylight is Dying [18] and Last Week.[19] These were also published by Angus & Robertson between the years 1895 to 1899. In 1905, the same publishers released Old Bush Songs, a collection of bush ballads Paterson had been assembling since 1895.[20]
Although for most of his adult life, Paterson lived and worked in Sydney, his poems mostly presented a highly romantic view of the bush and the iconic figure of the bushman. Influenced by the work of another Australian poet John Farrell, his representation of the bushman as a tough, independent and heroic underdog became the ideal qualities underpinning the national character.[21] His work is often compared to the prose of Henry Lawson, particularly the seminal work, "The Drover's Wife", which presented a considerably less romantic view of the harshness of rural existence of the late 19th century.
Paterson authored two novels; An Outback Marriage (1906) and The Shearer's Colt (1936), wrote many short stories; Three Elephant Power and Other Stories (1917), and wrote a book based on his experiences as a war reporter; Happy Dispatches (1934). He also wrote a book for children The Animals Noah Forgot (1933)
Contemporary recordings of many of Paterson's well known poems have been released by Jack Thompson,[22] who played Clancy in the film adaptation of The Man from Snowy River. While having no connection to the movie, an Australian television series of the same name was broadcast in the 1990s.
Media reports in August 2008 stated that a previously unknown poem had been found in a war diary written during the Boer War.[23]
Banjo Paterson's image appears on the $10 note, along with an illustration inspired by "The Man From Snowy River" and, as part of the copy-protection microprint, the text of the poem itself.
In 1981 he was honoured on a postage stamp issued by Australia Post.[24]
A. B. Paterson College, at Arundel on the Gold Coast, Australia, is named after Paterson.
The A. B. "Banjo" Paterson Library at Sydney Grammar School was named after Paterson.
The Festival of Arts in Orange, New South Wales, presents a biennial Banjo Paterson Award for poetry and one-act plays and there is also an annual National Book Council Banjo Award.
A privately owned 47-year-old Wooden Diesel vessel from Carrum, Victoria, was Christianed with the name Banjo Paterson and ironically, runs regularly up and down the Patterson River.[citation needed]

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Time to confront straying wife over affairs
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My wife and I are married over 40 years and right now, our relationship is great. About 4 1/2 years into our marriage she had an affair with a co-worker of mine. She admitted to the affair but has never been openly truthful about it. She never said she regretted it so I assume she doesn't.
A while back, I found a hand-written list, ranking three men. I'm No. 3, a former friend of mine is No. 2, and an unknown but unusual name is No. 1. She admits it's her handwriting, but claims she doesn't know why she wrote the list or who No. 1 is. This is such a blatant and obvious lie, she insults my intelligence. I can only assume she's rating sexual performance.
I can forgive the affairs (they happened a long time ago), but have a real problem with the lies and find it hard to trust her. At our club, she always seems to be working alongside the same other member -- a known womanizer. I try to tell myself that it's my imagination working overtime, but again comes the missing trust factor. Another affair would be the end, and this frightens me, as I don't want our marriage to end. Suggestions? -- Anonymous, Manitoba
Dear Anonymous: Being a straight arrow hasn't worked so far. So ask her, in a general sense if she'd ever be interested in an open marriage where both people can have different sexual partners on the side. She'll be shocked, because she has always been the one to stray, and never had any anxiety to suffer through, like you have.
She will no doubt ask you, suspiciously, "Why do you ask?" Then, tell her outright you have noticed her interest in this other guy at the club. Also tell her you don't want to end the marriage, but another affair would definitely do it. She will ask you if you have your eye on another woman. Tell her truthfully, "No, but there are some attractive women around. Are you planning to see this guy at the club?" She will probably back off him immediately, now it's out in the open.
There's also the small chance she might say she likes the open-marriage idea -- and call your bluff. So, you have to know what you really want ahead of time. Does honesty mean that much to you? Would you prefer to look the other way again? Or have you really had enough of her cheating?
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I stole something from my sister and put it back later. She told my parents after it was returned, even though she says she knew it was me all along.
I got even with her last weekend. I flirted with her boyfriend in my bikini and kissed him. He's three years older than I am. I admit he had no choice. We were up at the lake and I leaned over and kissed him when we were out floating in the fishing boat together. Oh, he definitely kissed me back! Now I feel guilty again, but can't give the kiss back. What should I do? -- Younger Sister, Transcona
Dear Younger Sister: Telling your sister about the kiss you stole (and her boyfriend's response) will wound her deeply... so, hang on until you get back to school in two weeks. See a guidance counsellor ASAP and try to figure out together why you need to steal things from your older sister. Do you want to be her? Take her down a peg? See her hurt and upset?
The source of all the trouble you have caused is the bad feelings that drive the need to take what is hers. Getting the feelings out with the counsellor, and working through them, may get you stopped for good.
Please send your questions or comments c/o email@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg R2X 3B6.
