Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) (Urdu: غلام اسحاق خان; 20 January 1915 – 27 October 2006) served as the 7th President of Pakistan from 1988 until his resignation in 1993.
Raised in Bannu, Ghulam Ishaq graduated from Peshawar University and entered the Indian Civil Service, opting for Pakistan after the independence in 1947. Appointed the first chairman of the Water and Power Development Authority by President Ayub Khan in 1961, Ghulam Ishaq also served as Finance Secretary from 1966 to 1970. A year later, he was appointed Governor of the State Bank by President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, before being made Defence Secretary in 1975, assisting with Pakistan's nuclear programme. He was retained by President Zia-ul-Haq as Finance Minister in 1977, overseeing the country's highest GDP growth average. Elected Chairman of the Senate in 1985, Ghulam Ishaq was elevated to the presidency after Zia's death in an air crash on 17 August 1988. He was elected president on 13 December, as consensus candidate of the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad and Pakistan People's Party.
The oldest person to serve as president, Ghulam Ishaq played a hawkish role against Communist Afghanistan, while relations with the United States deteriorated following the Pressler amendment. Domestically, Ghulam Ishaq's term faced challenges: ethnic riots flared in Karachi, and Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto accused him of frustrating her government as part of an alliance with conservative opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and the post-Zia military establishment. Ghulam Ishaq invoked the Eight Amendment and dismissed Benazir's government after just 20 months, on charges of rampant corruption and misgovernance. Sharif was elected Prime Minister in 1990, but Ghulam Ishaq dismissed his government on similar charges three years later. The Supreme Court overturned the dismissal, but the gridlock ultimately led to both men resigning in 1993.
Retiring from public service, Ghulam Ishaq served as rector of the GIK Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology in his native province, dying from pneumonia in 2006. He is viewed contentiously by Pakistani historians; he is credited for personal austerity and supervising the nuclear programme to completion, but criticized for wielding an autocratic presidency that ousted two elected governments.[1] He has been cited as the most powerful civilian president in Pakistani history.[2]

Early life and education[edit]
Ghulam Ishaq Khan was born in Ismail Khel, a rural locality on the outskirts of Bannu District, both villages in the North-West Frontier Province of the British Indian Empire, now Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan.[1][3] He was an ethnic Bangash Pashtun. His family remains active in politics; his son-in-law is former federal minister Anwar Saifullah Khan. A granddaughter of his is married to Omar Ayub Khan, who is the grandson of former military dictator Ayub Khan and son of politician Gohar Ayub Khan.[4]
After his schooling in Bannu, Khan first attended the Islamia College before making transfer to Peshawar University. He obtained double BSc, in Chemistry[1] and in Botany.[1][5]
Initially looking for a university job, Khan joined the Indian Civil Service in 1941, serving in various provincial assignments on behalf of British India.[5] After independence in 1947, Khan opted for Pakistan and was assigned to the bureaucracy of the provincial government of North-West Frontier Province in 1947. He took over the provincial secretariat as the secretary of the irrigation department, which he held until 1955.[1]
Initial public service[edit]
In 1956, Khan was appointed Home Secretary of Sindh, but was later appointed Secretary of Department of Development and Irrigation by the Sindh government.[6] In 1958, he was elevated to federal government level, and assigned secretariat control of the Ministry of Agriculture, an appointment approved by President Ayub Khan.[6] Since 1958, Khan had been serving in the board of governors of the Water and Power Development Authority, before being elevating to Chairman in 1961. As Chairman, he played a vital role in the construction and financial development of Mangla Dam and Warsak Dam.[6]
In 1966, Khan left the chairmanship to be appointed Finance Secretary of the Finance Ministry until 1970, which he relinquished to incoming Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.[6] After Pakistan's loss to India in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, Khan was called to administer all retail and commercial services pertaining to the national economy tattered by war.[7] In 1971, Bhutto appointed him Governor of State Bank of Pakistan when he was tasked to carry out monetary and credit policy in accordance to Government policy with influence of socialism.[8] In the latter position, he questioned the wisdom of a number of the economic policies of then-Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who was keen to intensify his nationalization and socialist influence in the financial institutions that marked the slow down of the economy.[8][9]
Defence Secretary (1975–77)[edit]
In 1975, Prime Minister Bhutto subsequently removed him from the State Bank, instead posting him at the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Khan was appointed Defence Secretary, which was fortuitous in that it brought him into close contact with the Pakistani military establishment.[9] Though an unusual assignment for a financial expert, this appointment brought him to close to the military and which made him a power bureaucrat in the country.[10] During that time, Khan became closer to General Zia-ul-Haq and had later coveted for General Zia-ul-Haq's appointment as the chief of army staff.[9]
As Defence Secretary, he helped manage the Pakistan's large but integrated atomic bomb project and had been directly associated with the program.[11] Khan was a vehement support of the program and saw the program as a "national priory".[11] He backed the advocacy of theorist dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and helped establishing the Engineering Research Laboratories in Kahuta.[5] He headed the Uranium Coordination Board (UCB) which consisted of AGN Kazi, Munir Ahmad, and Agha Shahi; he later helped consolidated the efforts at ERL under Lt. Gen. Zahid Ali Akbar as its first military director.[11] After approving the survey by General Akbar, he helped secured the funds for the ERL works and providing lobbying for General Akbar's promotion as the Engineer-in-Chief.[11] Khan cemented close relations with Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Munir Ahmad Khan, and remained Qadeer Khan's staunch loyal.[11]
His involvement and support earned him the nickname as "Mr. Nuke"[1][8] by the U.S. diplomats, while the new media dubbed him as "Baba Atom Bomb ".[3]
On the contrary, Ishaq Khan did not have the directorial role in the atomic bomb program until Munir Ahmad Khan retired.[12] After Munir Ahmad Khan took retirement from Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), President Ghulam Ishaq Khan eventually consolidated the entire program under the civic-military control, and supervised the classified projects of the program.
Minister of Finance (1977–85)[edit]
After the Prime Minister Bhutto was ousted in a staged coup d'état in 1977, Khan played a crucial role in the event of stabilizing chief of army staff General Zia-ul-Haq, in Bhutto's capacity.[11] After meeting with the military leadership at the JS HQ, Khan reportedly marked that: "this action was going to harm the country, but since it could not be reversed, they should do their best to salvage whatever they could."[11] He was immediately elevated as Finance Minister by General Zia-ul-Haq, who acted as the Chief Martial Law Administrator (CMLA).[13] A team of economic experts and technocrats were assembled in the management of Khan, and giving him the authority over the Planning Commission, Economic Coordination Committee, and Executive Committee of the Space Research Council.[13] Khan worked towards controlling the national economy while harnessing the damaged Private sector.[13][14] In 1977, Khan endorsed General Zia-ul-Haq's bid for becoming the President of Pakistan who tightened the grip of martial law in the country.[15]
In the 1980s, Khan backed the implementation of the economic Islamization by introducing the risk-free interest rate system as well as establishing the corporatization in the industrial sector.[13] Khan managed the revenue collection and provided the modern shape in the state–owned enterprises (SOEs) that were established in a nationalization in the 1970s.[16] His policies and economic expertise ultimately resulted in the improvement in GDP and GNP progress, helping Pakistan's economy become among the fastest-growing in South Asia.[17]
He maintained his ties with the nuclear society and gave strong priority for the nuclear deterrence as channeling financial funds for the development of the atomic bomb projects. Khan gave tax free status to Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI).[6] In 1983, Khan was among the invited secret dignitaries who witnessed the first Cold test, Kirana-I; along with attendees General Zahid Ali (E-in-C), General KM Arif (COAS), AVM MJ O'Brian (AOC)), and Munir Ahmad (Chair PAEC).[18] In 1984, Khan supported the referendum for Islamization held by President Zia.[19]
Chairman Senate (1985–88)[edit]
After the non-partisan general elections held in 1985, Khan was succeeded by Mahbub ul Haq– an economist.[10] Khan decided to participate in the upcoming indirect senate elections as an independent.[10] In 1985, he became Chairman of the Senate which he remained intact in that capacity until 1988.[10]
After the controversial and mysterious aviation accident occurred in Bahawalpur, Khan appeared in national television where he announced the death of General Zia-ul-Haq.[20] According to the Constitution of Pakistan, Khan was the second in the line of succession to the President of Pakistan. However, General Mirza Aslam Beg called out for the general elections held in 1988.[21] Until the elections, Khan served as an acting President in accordance with the Constitutional rules of succession.[10]
President of Pakistan (1988–93)[edit]
Reaching the mutual understanding with the leftist Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Khan participated in presidential elections on a PPP platform.[22] Khan secured 608 votes against the four candidates who took in the elections; he was also supported by the conservative IDA led by Nawaz Sharif.[22]
As president, Khan was marred with political struggle with Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who attempted for pushing the bill to reverse the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan.[22] Furthermore, Khan was in a conflict with Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto in two areas; the appointment of the military chiefs of staff and the Justices of the Supreme Court of Pakistan.[22] Khan consolidated his position in controlling the nuclear deterrence, keeping all the control over the program's direction. Problems arose when Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto made contacts with Munir Ahmad and Abdul Qadeer Khan over the program's direction, which frustrated Khan.[6] Economic growth slowed down and introduction of the US Embargo on Pakistan caused a great economic panic in the country.[6] In the 1990s, Khan and Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto failed to arrest the 30% fall in the value of ₨. from 21 to 30 to the US $.[6]
Khan struggled to control the law and order in the country after witnessing the troop retreat from Afghanistan.[6] Although, he maintained an ally of the United States.[23]
Appointment of Chiefs of Armed Forces[edit]
On Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's recommendation and advice, Khan as President approved Admiral Iftikhar Ahmed Sirohey, former Chief of Naval Staff, as Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee; he raised no objections for that appointment.[24] Khan also confirmed Admiral Yastur-ul-Haq Malik as Chief of Naval staff of Pakistan Navy.[24]
Khan reportedly denied the extension of General Mirza Aslam Beg despite Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's urging.[24] He also raised objections and further vetoed the appointment of Lieutenant-General Hamid Gul, former DG ISI, as Chief of Army Staff of Pakistan Army.[24] Instead he favored appointing General Asif Nawaz as Chief of Army Staff.[24] On the advice of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, he confirmed Air Chief Marshal Farooq Feroze as Chief of Air Staff of Pakistan Air Force.[24]
Dismissal of Bhutto and Sharif governments[edit]
As economic and law and order crises deepened, Khan used Eighth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan dismissed Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's government over the corruption charges and deteriorating law and order situation as he called out for a new elections.[22] After holding the general elections in 1993, he supported Nawaz Sharif as Prime Minister and his IDA government.[22] Problems with Prime Minister Sharif arose with the issue of reversing the Eighth Amendment when Sharif tried to pass the bill.[22] Eventually, he used the Eighth Amendment to dismiss Prime Minister Sharif on similar charges, but Prime Minister Sharif retaliated after bring a lawsuit against him in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.[22] His attempt to use the Eighth Amendment was marked as illegal by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, and reinstated Prime Minister Sharif.[22] The political deadlock remained the joint intervention of judiciary and the military resulted in forced resignation of both Prime Minister Sharif and Khan.[22]
Khan's presidency was also marked by his use of Eighth Amendment reserve powers to check the government. While the Prime Minister is the Head of Government, Khan, as President of Pakistan, was able to dismiss the governments of both prime ministers, Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif on charges of corruption, mismanagement, and nepotism, thereby triggering new elections, which the incumbent parties lost. The second dismissal of government exacerbated institutional and political opposition to Khan, leading to his resignation in 1993.
Philanthropy, retirement and death[edit]
In 1988, Khan founded and established the famed Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology that offers world-class programmes in engineering, and science and technology in the country. The university was established with the financial support from BCCI.[6] He invited A Q Khan who took the professorship of physics and delegated Asghar Qadir, a PAEC mathematician, to take professorship in mathematics.[6] He again negotiated with the PPP for the presidency but eventually dropped as a candidate in favour of Farooq Leghari in general elections held in 1993.[8] He retired from the national politics and avoided all contact with international and domestic news media.[22] He died on 27 October 2006, after a bout of pneumonia.[4]
He has to his credit the establishment of Rs 2.2 billion Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Swabi, Topi, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.[4]

Want to feel really poor?
Spend some time browsing filings of sales of stock by insiders at Stryker Corp.
That's want I've been doing this afternoon.
Though it was more than browsing, really.
I tallied up all of Jon L. Stryker's selling so far this year.
The grandson of company founder Homer Stryker doesn't have a seat on the company's board of directors and has no involvment in the operation of the Kalamazoo medical-device maker.
But because Jon Stryker owns or controls at least 10 percent of the company's stock, he's required to submit a Form 4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission every time he sells Stryker Corp. stock.
He cashed in more than 1.5 million shares of company stock between Jan. 1 and Thursday in 83 transactions.
The grand total by my calculations: $99.6 million.
No doubt a big number. But as of this week he still owns 28.8 million shares in four trusts.
That's 28.8 million shares, not dollars. At about $71 a share, his holdings are worth more than $2 billion.
Lucky for Kalamazoo he's been very generous with all that money.

Watch Eric the Intern Get Fitted for a Bra at Dillard's for 'Fit For the Cure' [VIDEO]
As an intern I put up with a lot, but I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be getting fitted for a bra during my radio career.
When we heard about an awesome program going on at Dillard's called "Fit for the Cure," everybody here at the station volunteered me to go check it out.
Apparently 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra, and that's not good for you ladies. So twice a year – in March and October – Dillard's has the "Fit for the Cure" program. The next one is this Friday, October 11, and on that day you can go to Dillard's and get properly fitted for a bra by a certified woman who knows all there is to know about bras. For every bra fitting they do during the event, Dillard's donates $2 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation for breast cancer research and community outreach programs. So this way ladies can find out their proper bra size while helping to fight breast cancer at the same time.
Thankfully Haley at Dillard's was willing to fit me for a bra so I could help fight breast cancer. Let me just say it was a very interesting experience and I learned a lot. So apparently I am a 40C – and don't start sending bras to the radio station for me.
You can always go into Dillard's to find out your proper bra size, but be sure to go this Friday, October 11 during the "Fit For The Cure" event.
What's better than finding the perfect bra? Finding the perfect bra for a great cause. So ladies get out there and find out that proper bra size. I did it, and it wasn't bad at all.
Watch me get fitted for my first bra at Dillard's below:

Dear Annie: Six months ago, I became involved with a man 20 years my senior. It has become evident that his ex-wife is still very much in the picture.
They divorced 30 years ago, when he found out she was cheating. He gave her the house and half of his earnings until their children were grown. Yet he still phones her and asks whether she needs anything. Those "needs" are usually financial, in spite of her cushy job and mortgage-free life.
What sent me over the edge was a recent visit to his mother's house. I randomly picked up a family photo of his parents' 50th anniversary party, and there she was - right in the center.
I have voiced my displeasure loud and clear: Either I am "it," or I am out! He says she is family. What is a divorce exactly if people are going to exchange gifts and phone calls and show up at family functions?
- Too Little Too Late
Dear Too Little: Every divorced couple is different. Many remain friendly with each other. Those who have children together have a lifelong bond, no matter how old the kids are.
The in-laws may still consider the ex to be part of the family and so invite her to all of their functions. That is their business, not yours. While giving her money is not necessary, your boyfriend is not going to stop contacting his ex simply because you don't like it. If you cannot deal with that, better to get out now.
Dear Annie: I feel sure that, were she to pick up pen and paper, my mother would be among those parents wailing over their "heartless" children's "abandoning" them. My mother would say that she was a loving, wonderful parent, and I'm sure she believes it.
Annie, this is a woman who told me every day that she wished she'd aborted me.
When I was very little, she helpfully explained the term so I would know exactly what she meant. Very rarely are abusive parents capable of comprehending that they are, in fact, abusive. There is no child on Earth who wants to not have parents. If your kids have cut you out of their lives, there is a reason, and that reason is YOU.

IT'S THE SECOND DAY OF THE U.S. equestrian team's three-day event in Lexington, Ky., and, with places on the seven-member Olympic team at stake, the tension is building—not that anyone would be so crass as to mention such a thing. The horses pound around the cross-country course, hurtling fences and water jumps, the riders conscious of the clock ticktocking away—and of a tall and weather-beaten man in tweed cap and Barbour oilcloth coat who watches from the sidelines. When the equestrian competition starts July 21, the tall observer is likely to be, for most TV viewers, the one recognizable member of the team. He is Capt. Mark Phillips, whose marriage to Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II and sister of Prince Charles, was the storybook wedding of 1973.
Of the growing roster of former Windsor in-laws—Lord Snowdon and Sarah Ferguson are also members of that exclusive club, and it seems likely that Princess Diana may soon meet the qualifications—Phillips, 47, is the one who has set the postdivorce standard in discretion and industry. He never talks about the royal family, and he continues to work for a living. For the past three years he has been chef d'équipe and technical adviser to the U.S. equestrian team, charged with doing what he can to help them win the gold that has eluded them since 1984.
A world-class horseman in his day—he shared a British team gold at the 1972 Games in Munich—Phillips is considered one of the top equestrian coaches in the world as well as one of the foremost course designers. His hiring by the U.S. equestrian team, after the team's disappointing showing in Barcelona in 1992, was considered a coup in the small, upper-crust world of equestrian competition. "He's an extremely knowledgeable coach, and he has a very good way with the riders," says Jim Wolf, director of the equestrian team. "I think that they universally respect him."
The laconic Phillips is more modest. "My efforts will be concentrated on helping the Americans to do just as well as they can do," he says. To that end he has been crossing the Atlantic on an increasingly frenetic schedule, attending meets and giving advice. "I also teach in Canada. Australia, New Zealand and Europe," he says, "and so, although my principal job is here in America, I might pop into some other countries as well."
All of this leaves him little time for his farmhouse on the 1,400-acre Gatcombe Park estate, about 100 miles from London, where he and Anne lived together for 16 years and where she now resides with her second husband, Tim Laurence, whom she married in 1992. The proximity allows Phillips to share in the upbringing of Peter, 18, and Zara, 15, his children with Anne. "That's something the Princess Royal and I have worked out extremely well," he told the Daily Express on Nov. 5, 1994. "I honestly couldn't tell you whether they spend more time with her or me."
Despite the civilized arrangement—Anne, 45, even allows him to stable his five horses at Gatcombe Park—Phillips still has to deal with Fleet Street speculation about his love life, which he tends to greet with about as much enthusiasm as an unscheduled spill into a water jump. "My private life," he says emphatically, "is private."
It was not, of course, always so. In 1973—before Charles and Di, before Andrew and Fergie—Princess Anne and her Royal Dragoons officer had their royal wedding. Fleet Street raved about the dashing commoner who had landed the willful Anne. Theirs, the British press assured everyone, was a marriage of true souls. Both Mark and Anne were avid riders (she was on the British team in Montreal in 1976). Indeed, Queen Elizabeth was quoted as saying, in a rare display of wit, that the couple would likely have four-legged offspring.
As with so many Windsor marriages, though, the magic evaporated. Phillips, who declined a title, was by turns snubbed and patronized by his royal in-laws. After he bagged most of the grouse during a Scottish shoot, father-in-law Prince Phillip remarked, "Well, he has to be good at something." And Charles, according to Fleet Street, dubbed him Fog because he was "thick and wet" ("wet," in the British context, meaning dull and dreary). The marriage was beset by rumors of affairs by both and was rocked by the publication of love letters from Laurence, a former Queen's equerry, or aide-de-camp, to Anne. Finally, in 1992, a year after Phillips was named in a paternity suit by a New Zealand woman who claimed a one-night stand with him during one of his equestrian pilgrimages, Anne and Mark, separated since 1989, divorced. (Phillips never acknowledged fathering the child, now 10, but in what the British press calls a gentleman's agreement, he pays the mother an undisclosed amount for "equestrian consulting services.")
Phillips's personal life continues to be a matter of interest and speculation—as recently as 1994, the British tabloids gleefully retailed the story of his public spat in the bar of an Irish castle-hotel with then-secretary Carolyn Sanders, ending with a mutual dousing of champagne. Sanders subsequently wed an old boyfriend, with Phillips among the guests.
A survivor of both royal family and Fleet Street antipathies isn't likely to fluster easily. During the Lexington trials, a horse landed in the water after the first jump and veered straight at Phillips. By the time the rider regained control, the animal was practically on top of Phillips.
He never flinched.

1994 Jetta CLI 3 stuck in 5th Gear
I recently bought a 1994 Volkswagen Jetta CLI 3 from a trusted neighbour. It cost me very close to the book value, as it was in good nick, considering the age and about 260,000 Km's on the clock. I did consider the would be relative wear and tear, as it was far from new.
A week ago I was driving to a friend, and got behind the last of many sunday (slow) drivers, and I became angry. I stupidly went and wrenched hard on the gear shifter handle while in an external expression of frustration.
The worst happened. The shift got stuck in 5th gear, and I had to pull over. I couldn't get it out of gear. I almost walked 10 Km's in the pissing rain to my friends place. I decided to chance it and I managed to pull off in gear, from zero Km's per hour. I smelled some burning from the clutch, but it went away quickly as I increased speed. I made it to my friends, his mechanic neighbour had a look, and said the problem was definitely in the gearbox itself. Days later, I got a free tow home from my insurance company, as they cover basic road side assistance.
Since then, my (very motor car savvy and great problem solver) brother James told me to check the linkages between the shift handle and the transmission. I tested to see if the lever sitting just on the transmission moved if I wriggled the shift handle inside. It did. This didn't tell me too much.
My enlightened bro then asked me more questions: does the car jolt forward when I turn the ignition with the clutch pedal down? No. Does the car move if I push it without pressing the clutch pedal in? Yes. Does the engine turn when I do so? No. If I rock the car back and forth without pressing the clutch in, does it pop back out of gear? No, not so far.
So with this information, I can tell that the clutch is engaging. If the mechanic was offering his best judgement, and did his tests properly, then I can assume that the gear box is where the fault is. Some people have said that sometimes gear teeth can misalign, and sit on top of each other, rather than lock together. If that's the case, then rocking the car probably would have been enough to release them.
So it's hard to tell. Chances are I'll need to have the gearbox removed and sent away to be opened up. I'm hoping that while I raise the cash to do so (quoted around R2600 for the gearbox repair), I discover that the mechanic was wrong and I manage to fix it by fiddling with it, but have accepted I probably won't.
If you happen to be an experienced volkswagen mechanic, or have had this same problem, please leave your thoughts below in the comments.

GIVE YOUR CREATURE A VOICE: DIALOGUEPosted Saturday, October 1, 2011, at 11:00 AM
Writing dialogue for your characters can be a daunting task, and many people find it intimidating. I think it's a lot of fun. Maybe I just like putting words in other people's mouths.
Good dialogue brings a book to life, and gives the reader a sense of being right there in the scene with the characters. Just keep in mind that dialogue in a book or a story is not the same as how people talk in real life. In real life we tend to repeat ourselves, say "um," "uh," "like," and use other filler words. Pare down the dialogue in your writing to eliminate the superfluous. Cut anything that doesn't move the story forward, foreshadow coming events, or add tension. That means in most cases you want to leave out greetings, small talk, that sort of thing. Your characters might very well say, "Hello, how are you doing today?" and, "I'm fine, how are you?" and, "Had a little cold last week, but I'm better now." Yawn! Unless this piece of dialogue has something to do with the story, cut it out!
Avoid very long sentences in dialogue. We tend to talk in short bursts; your characters should do the same. Read your dialogue out loud. If a sentence feels too long, break it up into two or more. It will make your writing feel crisp and authentic. On the other hand, you want to take care that your characters don't all sound alike, and that they don't all sound like you, the author. That's an easy trap for a writer to fall into. Each of your characters should have such a distinct personality that your reader will be able to recognize who's talking without your having to identify the speaker each step of the way.
Here's a bit of dialogue from Gone with the Wind, between Scarlett and Rhett at the Confederate Ball:
"When you've been talked about as much as I have, you'll realize how little it matters. Just think, there's not a home in Charleston where I am received. Not even my contribution to our just and holy Cause lifts the ban."
"How dreadful!"
"Oh, not at all. Until you've lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is."
"You do talk scandalous!"
"Scandalously and truly. Always providing your have enough courage -- or money -- you can do without reputation."
"Money can't buy everything."
"Someone must have told you that. You'd never think of such a platitude all by yourself. What can't it buy?"
"Oh, well, I don't know -- not happiness or love, anyway."
"Generally it can. And when it can't, it can buy some of the most remarkable substitutes."
"And have you so much money, Captain Butler?"
During Scarlett and Rhett's dance at the ball, there are nearly three pages of dialogue between them without one single attributive clause! Yet we know who's speaking, even without their constantly referring to each other by name. We know because they are such distinct personalities on the page that it shows in their speech patterns, their choice of words, etc.
Of course when there are only two people in the conversation it goes without saying that the lines of dialogue switch back and forth from one to the other, but even if there were more than just the two of them involved in this conversation, I believe Margaret Mitchell's writing is so well done that we'd still know who is who.
Next time we'll talk about attributive clauses, an important part of writing dialogue.
Sit/Sat vs. Set
Sit is for an action on your part. "I sat on the chair."
Set is what you do with things. "I set the chair in the middle of the room."
A Bit of Promotion:
Roger Stoner's new book, Horse Woman's Child is now available. He was at the Hiney Wine Festival Saturday in Peterson, signing his books and having an overall great time!
"Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realize it's just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into it." David Sedaris

You are correct! Writing dialogue is such a daunting task that most writers avoid it like the plague. (Not as much as they avoid the use of cliches, however.) I also find the use of the word, 'said' very annoying...he said, she said.
-- Posted by like2read on Fri, Oct 7, 2011, at 11:17 AM
It seems I have to force myself to write dialogue, and forced dialogue is worse than none. I envy those who do it so naturally. I need to keep pluggging away to see if I can improve.
I also want to put in a good word for Roger Stoner's book. He is an astute reader, historian,and gifted author. I highly recommend Horse Woman's Child to anyone who likes historical fiction. The fact that it is regional is also a plus.

Grant to supply Albion Fire Department with thermal imaging cameras
ALBION -- The borough fire department is about to get a couple of specialized cameras, thanks to an insurance company grant.
Representatives of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Co. will meet with members of the Albion Fire Department at 4 p.m. today to present the department with a $20,400 grant for the purchase of two thermal imaging cameras, which detect heat.
Department officials said their old thermal imaging camera stopped working several months ago, but they didn't have the money to buy a new one.
The new cameras will be placed in each of the department's engines, Fire Chief Scott Hyde said.

Wynnewood, Pa. (May 2003) — The most advanced and sensitive diagnostic imaging test for cancer, positron emission tomography (PET), is now available to patients at the hospitals of Main Line Health.
The acquisition of the powerful PET scanning system is a milestone for the communities served by the comprehensive cancer centers at Lankenau, Bryn Mawr and Paoli hospitals, according to Marchello J. Barbarisi, M.D., director of nuclear medicine at Bryn Mawr.
"PET scanning is the most sensitive modality available for the detection and staging of cancer," said Barbarisi. "It has the potential of earlier detection and therefore better staging of the disease and more effective treatment—as well as avoidance of unnecessary treatment."
PET imaging is a noninvasive test that gives physicians an overview of body chemistry, metabolism and cell function, in contrast to pictures of body structures depicted by computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or X-rays. The difference in focus is important because PET can pinpoint disease states before changes are seen on the other imaging techniques, sometimes replacing multiple testing procedures, including diagnostic surgical procedures.
"In oncology patients, PET allows for proper staging of the patient's disease and the appropriate treatment to be instituted," said Nancy Sherwin, M.D., director of nuclear medicine at Lankenau. "We can also evaluate the patient's response to therapy and direct further treatment, depending on the result. What's more, fusion of the images with radiation therapy allows for precise targeting of the radiation treatment to the tumor."
The unit is located in the Nuclear Medicine Department at Lankenau Medical Center. A network connection to each Main Line Health hospital, however, means that after patients have the test, the results are sent to the patients' home hospital for evaluation. Long-range plans include the installation of PET technology at Paoli Memorial and Bryn Mawr.
Valerie Hunt, M.D., director of nuclear medicine at Paoli, called the PET system, which began scanning patients in April, "an instant solution to our needs. This university-quality PET scanning means no long trips to Philadelphia. Main Line Health Imaging has acquired the top of the line PET scanner available."
In a PET scan, a small amount of radioactive material injected into the patient via a sugar solution is picked up by the scanner and analyzed by a computer, creating images of great clarity that reflect the metabolic activity of tissues. Rapidly multiplying cancer cells need more sugar fuel and therefore take up more of the sugar than other tissues, which shows up as hot spots on the scan. When these images are combined, or fused, with a patient's CT or MRI scans, physicians have the most complete picture possible of the disease.
"PET is very sensitive to detecting function or activity of the cancer cells eating up the radioactive sugar," said Andrew Curtin, M.D., chief of radiology at Lankenau, who directed the implementation of the system at the three hospitals. "If you can link the 'hot spots' of radioactivity to a study that shows great anatomic detail, like CT or MRI, then we can create one image that shows both function and form."
PET is being offered first to oncology patients with diseases that are most likely to produce metabolic changes, including lung cancer, lymphoma, melanoma, colorectal, some breast and other cancers. PET scans use about the same amount of radiation as a routine CT scan. The patient waits quietly for about 60 minutes after the injection to allow the solution to circulate through the body. The scan itself takes another 30 to 40 minutes.
Evaluation of melanoma will be the first use of PET. Later, it will be used to evaluate heart disease and to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease or epilepsy.
For information on PET at Main Line Health, call 610-526-2200.

Feeding a baby is an exciting experience for any new parent. It can also be a little intimidating, especially if you don't know what to expect. So here's a quick guide to an important aspect of feeding — burping.
Burping helps to get rid of some of the air that babies tend to swallow during feeding. In some babies, not being burped frequently and too much swallowed air can lead to spitting up, crankiness, and gassiness.
When burping your baby, repeated gentle patting on your baby's back should do the trick — there's no need to pound hard. To prevent messy cleanups when your baby spits up or has a "wet burp," you might want to place a towel or bib under your baby's chin or on your shoulder.
Try experimenting with different positions for burping that are comfortable for you and your baby. Many parents prefer to use one of these three methods:
If your baby seems fussy while feeding, stop the session, burp your baby, and then begin feeding again. Try burping your baby every 2 to 3 ounces (60 to 90 milliliters) if you bottle-feed and each time you switch breasts if you breastfeed.
If your baby tends to be gassy, spits a lot, has gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or seems fussy during feeding, try burping your baby every ounce during bottle-feeding or every 5 minutes during breastfeeding. If your baby doesn't burp after a few minutes, change the baby's position and try burping for another few minutes before feeding again. Always burp your baby when feeding time is over.
For the first 6 months or so, keep your baby in an upright position for 10 to 15 minutes (or longer if your baby spits up or has GERD) after feeding to help prevent the milk from coming back up. But don't worry if your baby spits sometimes. It's probably more unpleasant for you than it is for your baby.
Sometimes your baby may awaken because of gas — simply picking your little one up to burp might put him or her back to sleep. As your baby gets older, you shouldn't worry if your child doesn't burp during or after every feeding. Usually, it just means that your baby has learned to eat without swallowing excess air.
Babies with colic (3 or more hours a day of continued crying) might also have gas from swallowing too much air during crying spells, which can make the baby even more uncomfortable. Using anti-gas drops has not proven to be an effective way to treat colic or gas, and some available medications can be dangerous.

Linaro was founded by companies focused on working together in the mobile space. As Linaro's work broadened beyond mobile, discussions in the Technical Steering Committee (TSC) similarly broadened and towards the end of 2013, a mobile sub-committee (MOBSCOM) was formed to deal with mobile discussions in more detail. In July 2014, this sub-committee was replaced by the Linaro Mobile Group (LMG) and its associated steering committee (LMG-SC). Information about LMG is available on the Linaro wiki: https://wiki.linaro.org/LMG.
Linaro's mission in the mobile space has always been to collaborate with members to consolidate and optimize open source software for mobile platforms on ARM. The mobile space includes all types of phones, tablets, laptops and wearables. Android has been identified as the primary mobile OS on which Linaro's work in this area is tested, but other options, including Chrome OS, Firefox OS and Tizen have been discussed and could be brought in if members decided there was a need.
The LMG engineering team has an established reputation for optimizing Android components, performing bring up using new kernels and new toolchains, upstreaming AOSP patches to the open source community and developing new technology.

Nicodemo S. Scarfo, son of jailed Philadelphia mob boss "Little Nicky" Scarfo, illegally siphoned millions of dollars from a Texas financial firm to fund a lavish lifestyle that included a $715,000 home in Atlantic County and an $850,000 yacht he used to cruise the Bahamas, according to a racketeering indictment made public Tuesday.
Scarfo, 46, of Galloway Township, and Salvatore Pelullo, 44, an Elkins Park businessman, orchestrated a scheme in which they stole more than $12 million from FirstPlus Financial Group between April 2007 and May 2008, federal authorities said.
"This case gives new meaning to the term corporate takeover," Paul Fishman, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said at a news conference where the charges were announced.

ERIE, Pa. (AP) -- The body of a baby has been found stuffed into a suitcase on a northwestern Pennsylvania street.
Authorities say Erie firefighters made the gruesome discovery Tuesday afternoon while responding to a home for an unrelated fire.
The Erie Times-News reports firefighters noticed a strong odor coming from a bag wrapped in a blanket. They opened the suitcase and immediately called police.
Deputy Coroner Dennis Suscheck says the extent of decomposition made it impossible to immediately determine the age or gender of the baby. He says the baby was clothed and a pink blanket was found in the bag.
Neighbors told the paper the suitcase had been spotted in a pile of garbage Monday but was washed down the street by heavy rains that night.
An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.

Gateway National Recreation Area is showing some respect to Earth's elders.
Park officials are intensifying efforts to stop the illegal capture of horseshoe crabs—an animal whose time on this planet predates the dinosaurs.
Park Police have already increased maritime and land patrols in the Jamaica Bay area along the eastern shore of Staten Island, strictly enforcing the federal law that prohibits taking horseshoe crabs in national parks.
Anyone caught crab-handed will be subject to a fine and/or arrest and prosecution.
"There's no question they deserve to be protected," said Gateway General Superintendent Barry Sullivan. "And if they can't be protected in a national park, where can they?"
New signs have been installed along the park's shoreline to inform the unaware, and park staff will be conducting outreach to local marinas and surrounding neighborhoods.
The metropolitan area's largest natural park boasts thousands of acres of water where it is entirely legal to fish.
But many people break the law when catch and remove horseshoe crabs from the park.
Horseshoe crabs are not classified as fish or crustaceans. They are more closely related to spiders and ticks than crabs.
But as far as the national park is concerned, they are considered "wildlife."
"These animals are among the oldest creatures on Earth," Sullivan said. "Their ability to survive and adapt for over 400 million years may one day reveal incredible scientific knowledge, especially for the field of human medical research."
Horseshoe crabs are already valued by medical researchers for substances found in them possessing antibiotic, antiviral and anti-cancer properties.
Their copper-based blood, which clots around bacterial invaders, is extracted and used to test for the purity of medicines.
Horseshoe crab blood is worth roughly $15,000 a quart, according to the Mid-Atlantic Sea Grant Programs/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The effort to protect horseshoe crabs will also help migratory birds, who rely on the crab eggs as their primary food source.
A diminished horseshoe crab population has in turn dropped the numbers of 11 different bird species, according to Gateway.
This month and next, the park will expand its ranger led Horseshoe Crab Walks, which give visitors a look at the crabs annual mating ritual. More information is available at www.nps.gov/gate.

Hubble Diagram for Cepheids This is a plot of galaxy distance versus the velocity that the galaxy appears to be receding from Earth. It is based on data collected by the Hubble Space Telescope Key Project team. The distances have been measured using Cepheid variables. The slope in the plot measures the expansion rate of the universe, a quantity called the Hubble constant. The best fit to the data yields a Hubble constant of 70 kilometers/second/megaparsec. The dashed lines indicate Hubble constant values of 77 and 63 and do not fit the data as well. This plot is analogous to that obtained by Carnegie astronomer Edwin Hubble that led to his discovery of the expansion of the universe. With the Hubble Space Telescope, it is now possible to measure Cepheid distances over 30 times farther away than Hubble was able to do.

The Bay Area Rapid Transit System (BART) opened for service in 1972. As part of its 40th anniversary celebration BART's website features some entertaining vintage photos from its early days in the 1970s. Less entertaining is the fact that BART cars now require replacement at an expected cost of $3.4 billion. But there's no money as BART management somehow forgot to establish reserves 40 years ago to fund this inevitable capital expense.
So now BART is seeking federal dollars to fund a portion of the mammoth car replacement project and will likely seek voter approval of new bond debt in the near future.
While BART's aging infrastructure has been an issue in the current campaign for the vacant East Bay director seat, no candidates offer a clear path forward. Problems abound and solutions are elusive for BART, whose $672 million annual budget fails to adequately provide for maintenance, let alone replacement of capital equipment.
It's another case of Parkinson's Law at work, funded by tax dollars.
Instead of celebrating its anniversary BART officials should apologize to the public for its epic failure to plan ahead. It's the least they can do before asking taxpayers to pay for decades of poor planning.
This ridiculous state of affairs brings to mind the old saying:
Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Too bad this doesn't apply to government, which always turns to the public to fix problems of its own making.
Perhaps, in the spirit of the 1970's, more fitting words come from of a renowned philosopher from that era, Ringo Starr, who sagely said: "Everything the government touches turns to crap."
Just so.

One of my least favorite sports conversations starts with somebody saying, "I never watch the NBA. . . ." There was a time in the not-too-distant past when this made sense, when the NBA basically ground to a halt as every play was an isolation, while some of the best athletes on the planet stood around and watched.
That's not this NBA. You like your point guards on the move, controlling everything? That's the pro game now. High-octane, with decisions made on the fly. And don't talk about no-defense. That's garbage, too. Check out the playoffs. It's not all (eye-popping) Taj Gibson dunks.
