The public has long entrusted the medical profession to regulate its own practices, but our efforts to do so have been uneven. In place of rigorous, enforceable standards, we have sometimes reverted to pseudoaccountability: weak regulations that only give the appearance that we have been responsible in setting and enforcing high standards. We have failed to deal effectively with substandard practitioners, lagged in preventing medical errors, inadequately documented patient care in the medical record, slipped up in protecting patients in clinical research projects, and accepted financial arrangements with industry that may affect our judgment. In response, government has intervened, and threatens to intervene further with regulations that sometimes are excessively intrusive and cumbersome. To preserve our remaining autonomy, we must show that we are serious about protecting the public. Professional membership organizations must stop promulgating weak guidelines and offering evaluative methods to assess and regulate their own coveted members. Instead, they must turn over assessment of their members to arm's-length, disinterested groups. Regulatory programs must have provisions with impeccable standards, surveillance processes, and methods to deal with infractions. In planning new self-regulatory approaches, we should invite open discussion and genuine involvement by independent members of the public or the government to help ensure that our decisions about standard setting are not self-serving. Our profession has already lost much authority. We can ill afford to lose more.

Product Description
"Richard Wagamese is a national treasure." (Joseph Boyden, Author of "Through Black Spruce" 2011-01-12)
"Richard Wagamese's writing is sweet medicine for the soul." (Richard Van Camp, Author of "The Lesser Blessed" 2011-01-12)
"Richard Wagamese reminds us that we are all story. And when we share our stories, we build something beautiful and profound. He's brought us this message before, but he does it better than ever with this book. Richard is on the frontlines of what it means to be human. If we don't know yet, this book lights the path. He makes me rejoice in our shared humanity. This book is a tonic. And a gift." (Shelagh Rogers, Host of CBC Radio's "The Next Chapter" 2011-01-12)
"Equal parts memoir, self-help book and personal affirmation, BC-based aboriginal writer Richard Wagamese's latest effort encompasses the scope of his arduous and wondrous journey to clarity and confidence. Through his creative efforts, he heals past wounds and finds peace with his identity as an Ojibwa man, a former alcoholic and someone who has witnessed the range of human flaws and kindnesses." (Winnipeg Free Press 2011-02-19)
"Wagamese's prose addresses both sorrow and joy with a gratitude that can only be earned. One Story, One Song speaks of lessons learned, personal triumphs, and wonderment. These anecdotes glow like embers in a hearth, temporarily dispelling the chill of the world outside, placating with gentle warmth." (Georgia Straight 2011-02-28)
"One Story, One Song comprises brief ruminations (most are shorter than three pages) on various topics, many inspired by an anecdote or observation from the author's life... Funny, tender, never bitter, the essays also relate the ongoing struggle for native rights in Canada. Wagamese writes in a refreshingly unadorned style. Indeed, heavy topics like homelessness, alcoholism, and drug abuse, which could easily lead to preachiness or self-pity, are refreshingly unsentimental in their treatment...[One Story, One Song] should be read for the clarity of the author's voice, and for its contribution to the aboriginal experience in Canada." (Quill & Quire 2011-03-01)
"The short pieces in One Story, One Song remind us of human beings' place in the world: We are a part of it, not masters of it. And by sharing our stories we share ourselves...One Story, One Song is all about connections, something we all need." (Globe & Mail 2011-03-02)
"One Story, One Song embodies [Wagamese's] belief that only by sharing our stories and being strong enough to take risks will we be able to understand one another. Although the messages in this book are slightly repetitive, Wagamese hopes to drive home the point that we are all more similar to one another that it appears." (Canadian Geographic 2011-07-15)
"Wagamese artfully weaves sixty-some short essays -- stories, really -- into an unpretentious philosophy of life rooted in personal observations and experiences, transposing an understanding of traditional Ojibway principles (humility, trust, introspection and wisdom) into modern-day life. Though drawing unflinchingly on his experiences as a native man, a child of residential school survivors, a homeless person and an addict, Wagamese writes with honesty and pathos without becoming ensnared in sentimentality. Yet it is not a book focused on hardships, victimhood or survival; rather, One Story, One Song is a frank and frequently mirthful testament to the prospect of a way forward; a reminder of our responsibility to live principled lives." (Andrew Steeves George Ryga Award Jury 2011-09-16)
"contemplative and lyrical...Wagamese gives no formula for resilience, but his gentle writing soothes the soul and shows that 'liv[ing] in a learning way' resides in appreciating the magnificence and intricacy of simple things." (Canadian Literature 2013-09-26)
About the Author
Richard Wagamese is Ojibway from the Wabaseemoong First Nation in Ontario. A member of the Sturgeon Clan, he is one of Canadaís foremost authors and journalists. He is the author of six novels, one collection of poetry and three memoirs. His most recent novels, Indian Horse (2012) and Medicine Walk (2014) were national bestsellers and published to brilliant reviews. Indian Horse was the People's Choice finalist in the 2013 Canada Reads competition. Richard has also been honored with the 2012 National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Media & Communications and the Molson Prize for the Arts in 2013. He lives in Kamloops, BC.

Speeches - (Archived) Table of Contents
| Information Date:
| Presented To:
|8th Biennial Governor's Pacific-Rim Safety and Health Conference
| Speaker:
|John L. Henshaw
| Status:
8th Biennial Governor's Pacific-Rim
Safety and Health Conference
Oahu, Hawaii
April 21, 2004
- Good afternoon. I'm really pleased to join you today. Again, thanks to Jim, Jennifer, Nelson and their team who worked so hard to put on this excellent conference.
- Today, I want to talk with you about the bottom line. You've expressed it well in the theme of this conference: "Coming together to preserve life forever."
- All of us as safety and health professionals have our eyes on a triple bottom line: injuries, illnesses and deaths on the job.
- When it comes to a measure of success, we want the lowest possible number. In fact, the only acceptable number is no number at all. It's zero.
- So, today, I want to talk about achieving that success and the progress that we together in the safety and health community are making toward that ideal bottom line of zero.
- First, I want to set the context. The context for all that we do is a simple truth: Safety and health add value. To your business. To your workplace. To your life.
- Focusing on human assets and strong safety and health management systems is a triple win.
- Lives are saved.
- Businesses save money and maximize returns on investments.
- Safe workplaces are productive workplaces where workers with high morale and high motivation produce high quality products and services.
- We have made progress over the past 10 years towards our mission to provide a safe workplace. For example, there's good news on fatalities. Fatalities have declined by more than 10 percent over the past decade. The biggest one-year decline was in 2002, with fatalities declining by 6.6 percent according to BLS.
- Injuries and illnesses are also on a downward trend. Last December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 4.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses with a rate of 5.3 cases per 100 fulltime workers.
- Because of the new reporting system, which began in 2002, the numbers are not directly comparable to the BLS statistics from 2001. Still, they are lower than the 5.2 million injuries and illnesses estimated for 2001 and the rate of 5.7 cases per 100 fulltime workers.
- Since zero is our goal, we still have a long way to go. But we -- along with the Nation -- have a plan for moving forward.
- Last year, OSHA established a five-year strategic management plan focused squarely on the triple bottom line and maximizing the return on your investment as American taxpayers. It's not about measuring activities and racking up citations and penalties. It's about safer workplaces and fewer injuries, illnesses and deaths on the job in the U.S.
- Over the next five years OSHA is committed to working with employers and employees to reduce:
- Workplace fatality rates by 15%
- Occupational injury/illness rates by 20%
- Our strategies for achieving these goals include a balanced use of
- Strong, fair and effective enforcement
- Outreach, education and compliance assistance
- Partnerships and cooperative programs
- Let's look at each of OSHA's strategies. First, strong, fair and effective enforcement.
- Enforcement serves as the underpinning of everything we do. It must be strong and effective and must produce change where necessary.
- How do we ensure that? By effectively zeroing in on the right workplaces that need enforcement to produce a safe workplace. We do it through national emphasis programs, local emphasis programs and site-specific targeting to focus on high injury and severity rate establishments.
- And by a tough program -- our enhanced enforcement program -- to deal with recalcitrant employers -- those who consciously ignore the law and choose not to provide a safe workplace for their employees. But we cannot be satisfied if our enforcement efforts just produce inspections, citations and penalties. We must produce the necessary change toward compliance and a safe workplace -- a change that is sustained.
- We're also making progress on the standard-setting front by meeting deadlines in our regulatory agenda. We issued three final standards last year, and we are actively working on more than a dozen other rulemakings. But often times, it's not new standards that can most dramatically impact the triple bottom line. It's compliance with the existing standards that can make the biggest impact.
- Outreach, education and compliance assistance is a critical component of our strategy. OSHA's website at www.osha.gov continues to be one of our most popular sources of information. Visits to our website shot up dramatically from 2002 to 2003 - increasing by 150% in a year. We expect to host more than 50 million visitors this year.
- Two new features allow visitors to personalize the site and navigate more easily. MyOSHA lets visitors set up their own page to link to the topics they are interested in. And QuickStart offers a step-by-step guide to identify major OSHA requirements and guidance materials.
- Other strategies include our toll-free helpline and our email news memo, QuickTakes, which now has more than 45,000 subscribers. If you are not among them, please sign up on the website at www.osha.gov.
- Last year, more than 30,000 employers took advantage of the free on-site consultation program for small businesses.
- We have increased the number of OSHA Education Centers, and we're training more and more people on safety and health, including immigrant workers.
- More than 30 million workers in the U.S. at three million worksites are exposed to one or more of the 650,000 hazardous chemical products covered by OSHA's hazard communication standard. Secretary Chao asked me to look into ways to improve implementation of this standard. Recently we studied the compliance problems with this standard and have put in place a process to achieve greater compliance with the existing requirements.
- We launched our hazard communication initiative last month on a new portal page on our website. Our goal is to assist employers in developing effective hazard communication programs.
- Our new webpage includes a draft model training program that can be adapted to worksites that use chemicals and draft hazard determination guidance for chemical manufacturers and importers. Later we'll be posting guidance for preparing MSDSs.
- In addition, as part of our Alliance with the Society for Chemical Hazard Communication, we're developing a course for small business on preparing MSDSs, creating a training program for OSHA compliance staff on reviewing MSDS information and preparing a checklist to use to review MSDSs to be sure they include appropriate information.
- There's also an enforcement component of this initiative focused on material safety data sheets to ensure that they are adequate. And we're developing a guide to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals to increase public awareness -- a way to improve chemical hazard communication over the long term.
- Other outreach initiatives coming in the future will focus on injury and illness reporting data quality, trenching and excavation and motor vehicle safety. As you may know, the latest draft of the National Response Plan for the first time lists OSHA as the primary federal agency for worker safety and health. We will add value in supporting worker safety and health during national emergencies.
- Our partnerships and cooperative programs have also increased significantly -- and our plan is to make even more dramatic increases. I am especially pleased that while I'm in Hawaii this week, I'll be participating in several ceremonies to recognize Hawaii workplaces participating in the Voluntary Protection Programs or recognized under SHARP.
- Nationwide, we have 768 small businesses participating in SHARP. This is our recognition program for those who have successfully established effective safety and health systems with the help of our consultation program. I especially appreciate Nelson Befitel's efforts to launch this program in Hawaii. It's perfect for small businesses. I look forward to helping HIOSH increase the number of enlightened establishments that recognize the value of safety and health.
- In addition to SHARPs, we have 214 Strategic Partnerships. Nearly 6,000 employers and nearly 375,000 employees currently participate, including the Pacific Rim Construction Safety Excellence Council. We also have a partnership with the Saipan Garment Manufacturing Association.
- OSHA also partners through Alliances focused on training and outreach. We have 180 of these, including the Hawaii Alliance for Safety and Health and the Guam Alliance for Safety and Health.
- And now we also have 1,069 VPP sites. While I'm here, I'm participating in VPP ceremonies for Dick Pacific, which demonstrated exemplary leadership in construction safety and health and the Frito Lay site, which is the 19th Frito Lay site in the country that has achieved VPP status. They join Chevron Products Hawaii Refinery as VPP sites in Hawaii.
- Nelson Befitel has done a great job moving forward with VPP in Hawaii. One of my personal goals has been to find a way to greatly expand Voluntary Protection Programs in every state because it is the most effective way to assure a safe and healthful workplace.
- VPP has a lot to offer. Companies in VPP have injury and illness rates more than 50 percent below the averages for their industries. That's because they go beyond OSHA requirements by making safety an integral part of their company culture. Innovation and creativity -- finding ways to do the job better and more effectively, which by cultural definition includes safety and health -- occurs each and every day in these workplaces.
- That's why we want to encourage more worksites to join VPP -- to produce these results. We will be piloting a new program soon -- OSHA Challenge. It's a roadmap to safety and health excellence. It will be run by administrators from outside the agency and include three stages of participation with increasing levels of commitment and performance. The program is designed to assist those who want to advance safety and health, realize value and continuously improve. We'll begin with pilot projects soon.
- We're also introducing VPP Corporate, a streamlined application and approval process for companies with multiple sites under similar management systems that want to bring sites into VPP.
- And finally, we have VPP Construction. We're redesigning VPP to better fit the unique aspects of the mobile construction industry. We're developing this program based on our short-term and mobile workforce demonstration programs. I hope to announce the new VPP for construction mobile sites very soon.
- In closing, as we look at the safety and health landscape in 2004,
- the good news is that we have made great strides in improving workplace safety and health.
- the reality is too many workers are hurt or made ill or die in the workplace.
- the mission is to use every tool we can in enforcement, outreach, assistance and partnership to collaborate with every organization interested in worker safety and health to produce the greatest reduction in our triple bottom line and the maximum return on our investment.
- Because our vision is zero injuries, illnesses and fatalities on the job.
- the good news is that we have made great strides in improving workplace safety and health.
- OSHA is not just a regulatory agency any more. We are a safety and health agency -- working to assure compliance with safety and health laws and assure that workers have, to the extent possible, a safe and healthful workplace in which to work.
- And I know we have hundreds of thousands of folks in the country focused on the same thing. OSHA wants to work with and partner with those who have the same compassion for people, the same drive to succeed and the same focus on results -- the triple bottom line.
- I know that by working with each and every one of you -- together we can create a safer and more healthful work environment while strengthening this country's economic base.
- The American worker -- and our economy -- deserve our very best.

I have yet to receive the 75.00 amazon gift card that was suppose to be here 11-22 and now is in a preparing for shipment mode
I have failed to receive to 25.00 walmart gift cards
I had won a hand held fish finder value of 79.00 which was for weeks in a preparing to ship mode now it is out of stock the want me to take a replacement gift card of $50.00 for amazon when amazon sells this find finder for 85.00
I won a game for a value of 15.00 which was the first out of stock item so I took that 15.00 gift card but now every auction that I had won is out of stock and they want to replace with gift cards below the value of the auctions won.
Yes their terms of agreements say they have the right to substitute items for same value or above but no where does it say below value and no where does it say you wont get 6 out of 6 items you bid on and won and paid for.
nor does it say you will wait 4 weeks for gift cards and still not get the gift cards you paid for right after winning with no delay.
so out of 16 auctions I have not received 10 items paid for

Where are we? Is it really 2014 already?
Together with waxx we've been developing video games for over five years as of now. This time has not always been pretty, but we've come a long way and gained some real experience and skills. Hell, something tells us 2014 is our break-through year. To celebrate that time we're releasing our first commercial game (Rune Masters) for free to everybody!
For those who never heard of it (99% of readers): it's a mix between match-3 and RPG (known from games like Puzzle Quest) with a neat twist as our main mechanic. Battles are not played in a typical boring turn-based fashion, but in a real-time fast paced setting. Literally infinitely more fun and engaging. You also get to own some flashy items and drop them learning points on some stats.
After playing it recently, we've actually realized it's got solid fundamental mechanics, though it's lackluster in polish and art is not really consistent. If you don't know what to do with your evening (or morning: "I played it from 9am to 12am without stopping." - RPS review), give it a try - it's quite fun!
And BTW, we're constantly working on new projects, we have recently released a few freeware smaller ones, and we are atm working on 2 bigger projects.
Follow us for up to date information and more awesome games to play:

Camperdown to Canberra
By Matthew Benns
When did you decide to follow a career in politics? Was there a moment or incident at university that prompted you to look at this career?
Tony Abbott (Lib)
People don't usually decide to 'have a career in politics' the way they might decide to have a career in medicine, for instance, because there is no standard path to getting into parliament or other political positions. There's no university course you can do or accredited training that leads more-or-less automatically to a job in politics.
What normally happens is that people become interested and look for opportunities. In my case, I'd always been interested in politics. I'd run for the SRC at university, had frequently written about politics as a journalist and had been a press secretary to John Hewson when he was opposition leader. But I actually decided to run when I heard, in January 1994, that Michael MacKellar was retiring as Warringah Liberal MP and learned from John Howard that it was a pretty open pre-selection.
Malcolm Turnbull (Lib)
I always had an interest in running for parliament, from when I was a schoolboy in fact, but it wasn't a burning, monomaniacal ambition to the exclusion of all others.
Bronwyn Bishop (Lib)
I actually decided to go into politics when I was 16, at school and studying contemporary European history. It showed me that individuals can make a difference for good or for evil. Hitler was a clear example of evil and Churchill a force for good. I also thought that people seem to fall into one of two groups, those who make decisions and those who have decisions made for them. I wanted to be one of the decision makers and I knew in Australia, even in the late 1950s, it was possible. From that I thought that if I wanted to write laws I had better understand them so I decided to study law.
Greg Combet (ALP)
My interest in politics goes back to my childhood – from family values, political discussion at home and events of the times, especially the Vietnam War and the period of the Whitlam Government. I was not particularly active in student politics but was a member of 'Left Action' at Sydney Uni. I have been a political activist for most of my working life, including many years as a union official.
Andrew Leigh (ALP)
I've always been interested in politics. My father taught in the University of Sydney Government Department from 1970 to 1996, so political discussions were a staple of dinnertime conversations. Indeed, he was a visiting fellow at the Parliamentary Library for a semester, so we got a regular subscription to Hansard. I remember enjoying reading the transcript of Question Time, and can still recite good chunks of Keating's "because I want to do you slowly" response to Hewson's question about why he wouldn't call an early election.
Rob Oakeshott (Ind)
I decided on political life after I had left university, around the age of 24 when I started working for an MP. Many incidents in life contribute to any political thinking, but one milestone moment from my university days was the way the Reverend Dr Peter Cameron was treated by the Presbyterian Church for his sermons at St Andrews College when I was a student. He was a lovely man, with a big heart, and had the strong support of the student body. Unfortunately, he was put through the mincer by the church at the time, and many, including a younger me, felt it was very unfair. Before he headed back to Scotland, he said to me: "If I taught you nothing other than to stand up for what you believe in, regardless of consequences, then it has been worthwhile". That has always stuck with me.
Were you involved in any student political groups? If so, did it prepare you for what was to come?
Abbott Yes, the SU Democratic Club and the SU Liberal Club. Obviously, the experience of student politics is a good if necessarily imperfect and partial introduction to politics more generally. I think I always sensed that there was a certain amount of game-playing and pose-striking in student politics which national politics should never have because the issues are so serious.
Turnbull Student politics is much more venomous than parliamentary politics. After all, the stakes are so low.
Bishop I didn't get involved in politics at university, I was involved in the Young Liberals at Killara. I went on to become the vice president because back then they still had the blokes as president. Instead at university I became involved in the Sydney University Drama Society, mostly because our campus was on Phillip Street, away from the University, and I wanted some participation in university life.
I am not sure how it helped my political life but it did allow me to appear as a lawyer in a Channel Nine television series. I did the pilot for them and they asked me to star in the show. I stopped for a while when I was pregnant with Angela and the repeats ran for long enough that she was still able to watch it on TV.
Combet See previous answer. My experience as a political activist was outside university.
Leigh I was heavily involved with the Labor students club, and with Young Labor. In the 1995 NSW election, I ran as the Labor candidate for the seat of Northcott. My opponent was Barry O'Farrell, who was also in his first race. I think we were both happy with the result. I got an 8 percent swing, and he won by a margin of 24 percent. On campus, I ran in 1992 for Honi Soit (successfully) and the SRC (unsuccessfully), and participated in a plethora of clubs, from debating to rockclimbing.
Oakeshott No, I wasn't formally active in student politics on campus. I was at St Andrews College. Enough said … (sorry fellow phantoms … )
How did politics at university help shape your current political stance?
Abbott I'm not sure that it shaped my values or beliefs although, inevitably, in the cut and thrust of argument these are refined. As a conservative, student politics was an education in learning how to make a case to an often hostile audience.
Turnbull It didn't really, I found both the left and the extreme right at university pretty off putting. My natural home was in the sensible, liberal centre.
Bishop I think at university we were among a group of pioneering young women. The fact that there were so few girls in our faculty allowed us to develop friendships and connections that may not happen today. The dynamics were different and the girls who were there were very achievement orientated and went on to do really good things.
"My most important experience was studying political economy, economic history and neoclassical economics. Ted Wheelwright and Frank Stilwell … had an immense influence on my thinking" – Greg Combet
Politically, I enjoyed the Young Liberals because I wanted to be involved in the party. Back then few women had gone to Federal Parliament and none from NSW. I became the first female elected senator from NSW, the first female from NSW to move from the Senate to the House of Representatives. I became the first woman for the Liberal Party from NSW to enter the House and the first female from the NSW Liberal Party to become a minister. I am the only woman to have been a senator, a member and a minister and I was the first female president of the Liberal Party in NSW.
Combet The most important experience for me at Sydney Uni was through studying political economy, economic history and neoclassical economics. I was very privileged to learn from Ted Wheelwright, Frank Stilwell and others. They had an immense influence on my thinking and development, and I am deeply indebted to them for the opportunities they helped create in my working life. Studying political economy provided a theoretical framework that complemented my values and commitment to social justice.
Leigh My political ideas were probably shaped later in life, but I learned a great deal about writing (particularly through Honi) and speaking (particularly through debating).
Oakeshott Most of my old mates from university want to put me in a headlock on a lot of my policy or political positions, so in hindsight, I guess hanging out with them in my early 20s didn't impact on my political thinking much at all. And if you knew them, you would understand why.
Did you cross swords with any of your current political rivals at university? If so, can you tell us about that and who came out on top?
Abbott Not really. It was more a question of teaming up with future allies like Peter Costello, Eric Abetz, Michael Kroger and Michael Yabsley.
Turnbull Not that I can recall. Student politicians in the parliament, like Hockey, Abbott and Albanese, were all a bit behind me.
Bishop We all knew each other very well in the Law Faculty. I knew people from both sides of politics – Michael Kirby, John Howard, Phillip Ruddock, David Bennett, Paul Lander, Frank Walker, Maggie O'Toole, Kevin McCann. We had some fairly interesting discussions, particularly downstairs in the coffee shop under the Law School where we would sit around and talk.
Combet None. I knew of Tony Abbott by reputation.
Leigh I find it strange to hear about people who had terrible fights at the University of Sydney, because all the people I coincided with are folks I'd regard as friends. I feel lucky to have had the chance to edit Honi Soit with a team that included Lucy Burgmann and Verity Firth, to debate with Adam Spencer and Michael Fullilove, to act in the Sydney Law Revue with the Chaser lads.
Oakeshot From memory, no, I didn't cross swords with anyone who is now in politics with me. I have found I deal a lot with friends from university who are now lobbying for things, and that is always pretty funny. Often you just know too much about someone to keep a straight face in what should be a serious conversation.
What is your fondest/funniest memory of university?
Abbott Fondest memory: the comradeship. For instance, 33 years after the 1979 SU rugby tour to the United States, we still have an annual reunion just before Christmas.
Turnbull Winning the Henry Lawson Prize for Poetry with a truly terrible piece of bush doggerel that I had written one afternoon for a Union Night speech. My mother, who had also won that prize years before for a verse play, was horrified that standards had slipped so far, and I thought that was quite funny.
Bishop There are so many. We used to organise a lot of fundraisers for charity and I remember that we organised one at the South Korean Embassy but printed the tickets in red. It caused a bit of a problem and we had to have them reprinted. Then I had scales of justice welded in metal for the Law Ball at the Trocadero – unfortunately they were slightly tilted which didn't matter in the end because they were nicked anyway.
We were so lucky with the lecturers. They used to take the roll before the lecture and the rule was that if you didn't turn up you would be marked off. Barrister Tony Mason lectured in equity and was taking the roll one day when he read out someone's name, only to be greeted by deafening silence. Eventually he asked: "Does this man have no friends?"
"I really did enjoy my university days and regard them as some of the fondest of my life. " – Rob Oakeshott
Combet Here's an insight into me – I loved economic history and that was the best experience for me.
Leigh At the end of 1992, a team of us got together at Sydney University to run for the student newspaper, Honi Soit, under the name 'The Naked Truth'. By day we sang our campaign song to bemused classes, removing much of our clothing to reinforce the team name. By night we put up posters and chalked 'The Naked Truth' around the campus. One of our team, Verity Firth, even brought along her younger brother Charles to help out. A class of medical students promised to vote for us en bloc if a member of the Naked Truth team would streak through their lecture hall. One of us obliged.
In my year as a student journalist, I interviewed Andrew Denton, Henri Szeps and Dorothy McRae-McMahon, went inside Long Bay jail and a submarine, spoke to a magician, a monk and a basketball commentator, and wrote about child sponsorship, biblical literalism and virtual reality machines. I also reviewed a handful of sports cars, making me (I hope) the only motoring writer in the history of student journalism. When the 1993 election came around, I managed to get Keating and Hewson to answer 20 questions apiece.
Oakeshott Everything! I really did enjoy my university days and regard them as some of the fondest of my life. I still have lifelong friends, secret scars on my body that make me smile when I see them, and happy memories of Cordobies pizzas, local pubs, formals and informals, inter-college and inter-university sport, and just the whole size thing of Sydney University.
A massive university campus with thousands of beautiful and interesting people, and all the human interaction – good and bad – that goes with that. They were golden days.
How do you feel university helped or hindered you in your political career?
Abbott See answers to questions 3 and 4.
Turnbull Well without my time at the University I couldn't have practised law which was a most important part of my career. At university I studied government too and wrote quite a bit about the politics of NSW in the 1920s and '30s which was very interesting because two of the leading figures, Jack Lang and Bill McKell, were still alive and I interviewed both of them.
Bishop It was very important to my political career. It taught me how to look at both sides of an argument, to assemble and properly argue a case, to utilise case law and to read legislation.
Combet See previous.
Leigh Sydney University was a great chance to learn to speak and write. Looking back, I feel fortunate to have been an undergraduate in the political atmosphere of the Keating Government (I was at Sydney Uni from 1991 to 1996), when topics of reconciliation, economic reform and engagement with Asia were at the fore. It was probably also a strength that fewer students had full-time paid jobs then than is now the case.
Oakeshott This is probably not the right thing to say, but I found the social side of university life so engaging that it was this more than anything that kept me coming back, and therefore it was this social side that kept me engaged in learning and completing a degree, often despite myself. I had the sort of personality that could have seen me drop out of university but the whole fun-park of university life kept me engaged in learning, and this was then invaluable knowledge later on when I finally decided I better get serious about life.
Are you still in touch with the friends you made at university? How important have the contacts you made at university been in later life?
Abbott Yes. Over summer I was on holidays on the South Coast with friends from school and university and their families. The people you have shared formative experiences with tend to be those with whom you have the closest bonds. They're the people you get on with because of the person you are rather than the job you do.
Turnbull Yes, a number of my very best male friends were at university with me.
Bishop We recently had our reunion, which comes every five years, and we had 60 people turn up. They are still real friends, I bump into them all over the place and you immediately pick up as if the years have not passed by at all. (Note: I took a straight law degree at Sydney University which lasted for five years. In my fifth year I got engaged to (and subsequently married) Alan Bishop and did not finish my degree. I had three subjects to complete to be admitted so rather than take the whole year again I gained my professional qualification through the Solicitors' Admission Board.)
Combet Yes, sometimes, and when I see anyone from that time it gives me great pleasure.
Leigh I have remained close with some, and enjoy reminiscing with others when our paths cross.
Oakeshott I do stay in touch with many people, both personal friends, but also people I only casually knew at the time and now live in the same regional town with them, or work with them in politics. There is some sort of unspoken bond about it all, which is kind of nice.

Should you be eating like a man? How a diet of beer, steak and full-fat ingredients could actually help women LOSE weight
A top nutrition expert is claiming that women can successfully drop pounds by 'eating like a man.'
Dietitian and personal trainer Jim White, from Virginia Beach, Virginia, believes women should embrace 'dude-style habits', such as choosing a beer over cocktails and ditching diet foods in favor of full fat alternatives.
In an article on Fitness Magazine's website he lists a total of seven guidelines that buck typical dieting trends - including the act of dieting itself.
Scroll down for video
Eat like a man: Ditching steak for salads and cocktails for beer could help women successfully lose weight, says fitness and nutrition guru Jim White
Citing research from the University of Toronto to support his argument, Mr White explains: 'Restrained eaters are more likely to overeat before starting a diet and binge after they end it than ones who don't go on restrictive diets.'
In contrast, he says, 'guys rarely ever "diet." Sure, they might try to eat healthier or cleaner, but that's about it. No D-word, no all-or-nothing mentality.'
Mr White also advises women to beware low-calorie foods labeled 'diet', warning that they often lack fat and protein, which keeps us feeling full, and can be loaded with extra sugar and sodium to add flavor lost by fat.
Don't count calories: Mr White suggests ditching the notion of a diet altogether, and simply embracing a healthier lifestyle
'Diet foods are a bit of a misnomer. They tend to be completely unsatisfying - which is why guys don't tend to bother with microwaveable low-fat meals and portion controlled snack packs,' he explains.
Instead, he says, consider the quality of the ingredients you eat and proportions of protein, carbs and fat. This, he believes, is key for sustained weight-loss.
Another good 'dude' habit to consider is to trade that restaurant salad for a steak (hold the fries!) Protein contain nutrients vital for weight-loss, Mr White writes. It also keeps you fuller for longer. Vegetarians and vegans should consider adding more beans and nuts to their diet.
The registered dietitian even has tips for what drink to order in a bar - this is a lifestyle, not a diet, remember - and he prescribes beer over mix drinks because they are lower in sugar and actually make you feel a little full, so you're less likely to snack.
While Mr White acknowledges that men lose weight faster than women thanks to the male hormone testosterone, he says that women should also look to those guys who seemingly eat constantly yet never gain weight.
This 'dude habit' helps guys keep their metabolism high and blood sugar levels balanced.
The list is rounded out by advice to drink plenty of water - this keeps energy levels up, important both for workouts and because fatigue makes us want to eat.
Eat more meat - proteins such as steak and fish contain nutrients vital for both weight-loss and workouts. It also keeps you fuller for longer. Vegetarians and vegans should add more beans and nuts to their diet.
Trade cocktails for beer - mix drinks are loaded with sugar which the body converts into fat. A light beer is filling and a lower-sugar option.
Avoid low-cal foods - 'diet' foods often lack fat and protein, which helps us feel full. They can also be loaded with extra sugar and sodium to add flavor lost by fat.
Eat more often - this helps keep metabolism high and blood sugar levels balanced.
Consume quality ingredients - eat clean, with meals that boast balanced proportions of protein, carbs and fat.
Drink more water - it beats fatigue, thus curbing hunger and boosting workouts
Don't diet - consider your new healthy eating plan a 'lifestyle' instead
Mr White's guidelines have already won praise from fellow nutrition and fitness experts.
New York-based personal trainer Matt Townsend told MailOnline that he agrees with everything Mr White says - especially the advice relating to eating proteins for a better workout.
'I've found great success with women eating more animal proteins on days they do heavier weights for workouts, followed by eating like a vegetarian on days where more cardio intensive workouts, traveling or rest days are on the schedule,' he says.
'Essentially, when you tear your flesh, consume meats, other days, reduce them by 35per cent.'
But celebrity nutritionist Kimberly Snyder believes Mr White has failed to take into account crucial differences in the way men and women approach food.
She tells MailOnline: 'I agree that men tend to make longer-term lifestyle changes, rather than trying to crash diet sporadically or try several different fads in a relatively short period of time, which some women choose to do. But I think the ['eat like a man' idea] fails to highlight some of the major differences between men and women as holistic beings.
'Women tend to be more emotional, and some studies show that women tend to have more emotionally-based food cravings,' she explains. 'Men have cravings too - but tend to be more practical, and can make a choice and move on, and not agonize over it and feel guilty, which can lead to more yo-yo dieting. Women's cravings tend to peak around their menstrual cycle, when they choose foods that may spur the release of feel-good brain chemicals in particular, as a way of "self-medicating."'

I am trying to make something like this.
Can anyone help me with a pattern that is similar to this flower pattern? I am completely stumped. I've tried so many techniques!
Link to picture
I think it looks like crochet.
ETA: I can't find anything exactly like it. I'd try crocheting 2 circles in different colors and putting one on top of the other and see how close it is to what you want.
Hmmmm . . . that doesn't look like crochet to me. It looks knitted--particularly the garter stitch followed by a row of knit/purl (maybe?). I'm not sure what the inside of the flower is. No doubt it's some kind of increase.
The central motif on this crocheted flower looks similar to the one you posted (scroll down the photo A). You might try searching the Lionbrand site too. They've done lots of knit and crochet flowers over the past few years.
I agree, salmonmac. I think the middle looks like a bunch of stitches worked in an adjustable ring (magic circle). The outer edge looks like the chain left by crochet.
Yes, but between the inside increases and the outside single crochet (if that's what they are), it looks like garter stitch. I don't know of any crochet stitches that make that bumpy texture.
Perhaps it's a combination of both.
Post stitches in crochet where you work around the post of the stitch in the previous row instead of into the stitch itself leave that type of bumpy ridge, so maybe that's what it is.
MGM, if anyone knows without pulling out a crochet hook and trying it you will. Is it possible to use slip stitches to produce that purled effect? Just thinking about it I'm not at all sure it could be done and if so, just exactly how. My crochet is very rusty.

A House spokesman said legislative business scheduled Thursday morning will not be postponed, but meetings planned for the afternoon will be rescheduled.

FRISCO, Colo. (AP) The Colorado Transportation Commission has approved $10 million for installation of a fire suppression system in the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnel.
Currently there is no way for firefighters to safely and effectively respond to a fire in the middles of the tunnels because of limited access and the potential for extreme heat.
According to the Summit Daily, state officials say they have been lucky because fires in the tunnel to date have started near the entrances and exits, providing firefighters enough access to push enflamed vehicles into the open before fires could get out of control.

Registan's Uzbekistan News & Analysis Archive
Uzbekistan borders every other Central Asian state and is the most populous country in the region. The government of Islom Karimov, who has led Uzbekistan since before independence in 1991, has a notoriously poor human rights record and a reputation for refusing to accept any international criticism. However, geography makes it important to energy and transportation infrastructure in Central Asia and a crucial partner to the United States and other members of ISAF for the campaign in Afghanistan.
Several Registan authors have lived, worked, and studied in Uzbekistan and have between them decades of experience in academia, government, and private industry dealing with topics related to Uzbekistan. We use that experience and expertise to report on, contextualize, and analyze current events in Uzbekistan. Registan puts that experience to work to offer research, analysis, and training services tailored to your individual needs. For more information on how we can help you and your organization better understand Uzbekistan and Central Asia, visit our services page.

Sir Alex Ferguson did not hold back in his autobiography when it came to Roy Keane, who was probably Fergie's top lieutenant during his tenure at Manchester United.
He calls him, among other things, "intimidating and ferocious." He says that Keano, "has the most savage tongue you can imagine. He can debilitate the most confident person in the world in seconds... It was frightening to watch."
As someone who shared a changing room with both of them in the early 1990s, I can confirm that most of Fergie's character assessment of Roy Keane is 100 per cent true.
Keane back then was a very intimidating, confrontational man. Half the time, it appeared that he would look for reasons to start an argument.
And even if there was nothing about you at the time worth disagreeing over, if you were in the middle of getting changed and had hardly a stitch on, he'd find a way to start a row about your underwear.
But what hasn't been underscored as much as it should be - particularly in media appraisals of the book - is that as fiery as Keane was at the top of his flare, many of us actually found him to be a very decent, very approachable human being.
That he had that fire in his belly was simply a part of who he was. And it was a big reason he was as good as he was on the pitch, in his day.
If you think about the other ex-players Ferguson criticises, from the David Beckhams to the Ruud van Nistelrooys, none of them were afforded the leeway that Keane was. Fergie claims that Ruud and Becks had to go, "the moment they challenged the manager's authority."
And yet Keano was not what you'd call the perfect subordinate throughout his time at United.
Why do you think this is the case? It isn't because Fergie was more intimidated by Keane than the others.
It's because, as great as the Beckhams, the Van Nistelrooys, the Jaap Stams, the Paul Inces and other players eventually shown the door were, none of them were as indispensable to United at such a crucial time for the club as Roy.
Keane was Alex Ferguson's top guy on the pitch as he turned four tough seasons at the beginning into a dominant dynasty of the 1990s. Had Sir Alex reacted to the first, second, third and so on instance of the Irishman being difficult to manage by offloading him, the United we all know today may not have been the force it was.
Yes, Beckham and co were huge losses, but Ferguson evolved the side and his management style to deal with those losses. Replacing Keane in his prime would have needed more than that.
Ferguson also says in the book that when he did let Keane go, it was the perfect time, mostly because his authority on the pitch was diminishing.
I couldn't agree more.
It was that on-pitch authority that allowed Keane to command clout at the training ground or stadium that was surpassed only by that of Fergie himself. Once that went, there was no need to cut him any slack.
It was then and only then, in the mid-2000s, that the book claims Keane was regarded by Sir Alex as having challenged authority, with the book claiming that Ferguson and his assistant Carlos Queiroz both decided that Keane had to go after giving an interview to MUTV in which he slated most of his team-mates.
But we all know from following the best and worst of Roy in his heyday that it was in no way his first offence, as it had been for everyone else who got the chop.
It goes to show exactly why Ferguson was as successful as he was. His philosophy is perfectly demonstrated when he says that Roberto Mancini "let himself down" by backing down in his spat with Carlos Tevez. That was the beginning of the end for the Manchester City boss, the book claims, because wilting to player power decides your fate as a coach.
Fergie never let that happen, though, and instead he got years of incredible service from the player. As it stands, Fergie's handling of Keane may go down as one of the greatest examples of man-management in football.

I just got personally washing and waxing my car. It looked all sparkly and shiny as I stood next to it with the air of accomplishment you get from a job well done. The game where I felt the same type of smug appreciation for what I'd just done the most was Shining Force 2 when I finally was able to go back and replay it a few years after its release. It wasn't extremely challenging but I mean you really get involved with the whole cast of characters and when it was all said and done, I put the game away satisfied and haven't returned yet.
The games I never got to feel that with (cheating not allowed): Kid Chameleon, Zombies ate My Neighbors, Battletoads (of course because of the bike sequence), and Jet Moto 2...and I'm sure there's more
What game made you most satisfied when you finally beat it?
