I have the soul of a housewife.
Some people might find that condescending and if you're one of them, go suck on some Shower Power and feel free to grovel at my front door when you've run out of tinned tomatoes because I have a dozen cans in my cupboard.
I make an awesome housewife. I never mix white clothes with colours, I find washing dishes therapeutic and I work a supermarket aisle with a toddler under my arm better than Adam Goodes does the SCG boundary line.
I never run out of milk or toilet paper. I pay bills (almost) on time and can vacuum and text simultaneously. I adore Monday mornings because you go to work and I fold the washing and watch the NFL live from the US.
Having been a stay-at-home dad for three years now, it amazes me how keen some parents are to get back to work after childbirth, even when their other half's wage can adequately support the family.
Given, these people probably have higher levels of ambition than me, but I can't think of one thing I miss about working full-time in an office except, perhaps, Cabcharges and reading the newspapers in the dunny on someone else's dime.
Granted, I do feel a twinge of guilt that I should be working harder when I'm at the beach on a Wednesday morning with my daughter. Then I realise being able to spend mornings at the beach with your child is exactly why most people work hard.
I guess others do it for material possessions and power. They might as well stop reading this column, you're lost to me, the rest of this'll just make you feel angry or superior.
As for critics who suggest "I'm perpetuating a stereotype that stay-at-home parents lack ambition", have another sip of Shower Power. I'm talking about my own drives and experiences here - not passing judgment on anybody else, so please leave your barrow at the door to the All Men Are Liars beach house.
What I can say with absolute certainty is, having experienced the gamut of menial labour to management, as well as creative work and number crunching, I can't think of one job as important or that gives me more joy than raising my daughter, washing her clothes, feeding her, guiding her.
The writer Dorothy Dinnerstein made the observation some years ago many dads were opting for "home-making" because "the world of public events ... is getting so lethal it's really hard to look at it uncritically if you are reasonably intelligent and sensitive".
Being at least one of those things, I can see she's not suggesting people are killing each other in the workplace (except in the US) but that the professional world has become such a brutal, competitive arena, scrubbing the shower stall and hitting the park with your kid can be a rather relaxing alternative.
Some of us just don't thrive in the cut-and-thrust of office politics, thus why I have the soul of a housewife. I see as much value in what I do for my child, in our home, as anything I'll achieve professionally.
Most of us want to know our labour is achieving something worthwhile and it's enormously clear to me something important is happening when I'm with my daughter, quietly showing her men can be loving, nurturing and do the ironing.
It always puzzles me when people say they need to return to the workplace for "stimulation" when they actually seem to mean "socially valued pre-occupation". Stimulation can be had for the price of a library card.
If you cut down on the amount of stuff you tell yourself you need, I reckon a lot of people would be surprised how much money is "enough".
Anyways, I've got dishes to do.
You can follow Sam on Twitter here. His email address is here.
Please don't take it personally if I do not reply to your email as they come in thick and fast depending on the topic. Please know, I appreciate you taking the time to write and comment and would offer mummy hugs to all.

This red panda - one of a set of triplets - has staff at Hamilton Zoo buzzing with excitement.
The cubs, yet to be named, were born on December 20.
Zoo curator Samantha Kudeweh said it had been an exciting time for keepers, who got to see the cubs grow every day.
Each cub weighs about 400g - almost the same as a can of baked beans.
"Red panda cubs are slow to develop so the first months are really crucial," Ms Kudeweh said.
"Red pandas are one of the few species with a global captive breeding programme, which Hamilton Zoo is proud to be part of."
Ms Kudeweh said staff were still trying to come up with names for the triplets and the zoo would most likely run a competition soon.

Date of Stay: August, 2010
Beautiful setting! We camped in a back-in site. Wi-Fi was good. The road in is a little bumpy, but it adds to the rustic setting. Breakfast and dinner available at the cafe. We saw a deer run through the park this morning!
Date of Stay: August, 2010
The staff were very friendly and the park is in a beautiful setting, however we found that camping in a 40' RV was a squeeze. Our neighbors couldn't have been any closer. The wi-fi at our campsite was terrible. Pool was nice and clean. Tent campsites had the best spot. The highlight of this park was the Durango & Silverton train that came through the park several times a day.

May the gods bless the ladies over at Fashionista. They had the brilliant idea of getting a super new, super hot male model to chronicle his very first NY Fashion Week and what a week it was! The model… whose name escapes me because I never actually read the article and am now going back to do that, having already pulled all the crazy sexy pictures that I want for the gallery… (pause) Melton, yes that's right! Melton (somebody make an M&M joke NOW) grew up an army brat, then started playing football for Kansas State University. But he had (and still has) dreams of becoming an actor, and so attended an open casting call, and got scouted by a modeling agency. And the rest is history! See? I was totally paying attention to the article. Ish. But seriously, peep the gallery. His photos are something of legend. Happy Friday ladies and gents :)
Okay fine. I'll make the M&M joke: He Meltons Your Mouth, Not In Your Hands0

Ed Myers, School of the Arts
Our News 8 Golden Apple Award winner is a teacher whose passion is contagious. And he's inspiring students to reach for the stars. We surprise Ed Myers from Rochester's School of the Arts.
Whether it's working behind the scenes on a new production or in a Technology classroom, Ed Myers is part of just about everything at Rochester's School of the Arts. He's been at SOTA for 10 years. The first five as a Technical Director, the last five as a Teacher.
Senior Haley Mayer asked us to surprise Mr. Myers. "He's a teacher that got me where I am right now. He's really motivational, really caring and understanding. And I think he just helps a lot of kids."
There's a saying people in the theater know: "You can only succeed if everyone around you succeeds." Assistant Principal Alan Tirre says Ed Myers is one reason School of the Arts is successful. "So coming from that background of support and caring and love of art, love of teaching, love of education. That's what I think makes Ed not only a wonderful teacher, but a wonderful guy to be around."
"I try to always approach it that we're all in this for the same goal" says Ed. "And the goal is our students' education and whatever we need to do that. And if it means we're gonna act as friends, we're gonna act as partners to get this stuff done then that's what we do."
Haley says "He's an amazing teacher and I want to thank him for everything he's done since I've been here."
"The thanks all comes from me" says Mr. Myers. "It really does because I've seen Haley grow up, I've seen her mature, I've seen her start out as a bright eyed student and now she's talking about college. That's why I'm a teacher."
Ed Myers is a News 8 Golden Apple Award winner. If you look below you can read the letter we received from Haley nominating Mr. Myers.
Dear News 8,
I think my teacher Mr. Myers should be selected for the Golden Apple Award because he is the teacher who got us all where we are now, and every student agrees. He is an amazing teacher and explains everything so that everyone in the class understands it. He is understanding and he cares about every single student in our school, and I believe that he is one of the only teachers in the district who deserves to be known for it. I would not be a graduating senior this year if it were not for his motivation and help, and many others could say the same. Mr. Myers is not only an outstanding teacher, but he is also there as a mentor and a shoulder to lean on. He is always there if anyone needs to talk, and he is always willing to help. He sticks up for kids and really cares about us and our school. There are too many things to say about how amazing of a teacher Mr. Myers is, and we want to do anything to let him know that.
Haley Mayer, Senior SOTA

It's doubtful a proposal to restrict offshore investors buying up Kiwi properties will help Hawke's Bay first-home buyers, a real estate agent says.
"Hawke's Bay has generally been quite affordable compared to the rest of the country and nothing's changed really in the last five years," said Harcourts Hawke's Bay general manager Pete Meaclem.
The Labour Party policy, announced on Sunday, would block all purchases of existing property by overseas buyers who did not live in New Zealand or did not plan to. Australians and other foreigners who planned to build houses and increase the national housing supply would be exempted.
Labour leader David Shearer said the policy was necessary to give Kiwi first-home buyers a hand into the housing market.
"We've found properties from Auckland to Invercargill that are being marketed to offshore speculators," he said.
"That can only increase demand, and help drive up prices."
However, Mr Meaclem said the number of offshore investors was "negligible" and most foreign buyers in Hawke's Bay were English people or South Africans relocating to the area to work in health or education.
Even the coastal areas were not attracting offshore investors.
"To be honest, they're mainly Kiwis buying that beach house or one or two people who are looking for an escape for summer."
Hawke's Bay housing sales released by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand show the number of houses sold in Napier in June 2013 dipped to 73 compared to 86 in June 2012. However, the median property price jumped from $270,000 to $285,000 in that period.
In Hastings, house sales were down from 82 to 67, while the median price rose from $267,000 to $271,000.
Labour's policy is already drawing mixed political reaction and has been labelled anti-Chinese.
Prime Minister John Key said there was a limited number of foreign home buyers, and Labour's policy would have little impact on the market.
"The reality is that not that many people come in and buy properties that aren't either permanent residents or aren't going to take up personal residencies," Mr Key said.
Housing Minister Nick Smith said Labour was blaming the housing shortage on foreigners.
"(It's) the oldest trick in the political book. There's no evidence that overseas buyers are having any discernable effect over house prices," he said.
However, New Zealand First and the Green Party are backing the proposal.
Meanwhile, constitutional lawyer Stephen Franks said the policy was a direct breach of New Zealand's Free Trade Agreement with China, which stated Chinese investors must be treated no less favourably than those of any other country, such as Australia.

I have two hives, top entrance, one was much stronger than the other, they are just a few feet apart, and I put the pollen catcher on the strong one, patiently waited for them to adapt a couple of weeks and left it on to gather pollen. Got a little pollen, but missed the early spring heavy pollen season. Yesterday I opened both hives, and what used to be the much much stronger hive and has the pollen catcher on it had only 4-5 frames of eggs and brood, and way less bees than it used to...while the formerly weak hive has THREE boxes of eggs and brood and is so populous with bees it was difficult to work. I gave the hive that used to be stronger some frames from this hive so they would have more eggs and brood, and gave the hive that used to be weak another super so they would have more room. It seems obvious to me that most of the bees from the hive with the pollen catcher went next door to avoid the pollen trap and made the other hive strong. I thought of putting the trap on the newly strong hive, but was afraid to, as it looks like the hive I had it on started very strong and almost disappeared, and there's not a huge amount of pollen coming in now anyway.
Years ago, when I had bottom entrance hives, and used a pollen trap on the bottom, I had no such problems, and they didn't seem to take any time to get used to it, and I would collect pollen for a few days, then slide the board to bypass pollen collection and give the bees free access, ... I don't want to go back to bottom entrances but I love bee pollen and want to collect pollen. What can I do?
After the two week 'adjusting' period, how long can you safely collect pollen with the top mounted trap, can you just leave it on or do you need to take it off after a few days, and if you do, does it take the two weeks adjustment period each time? And what about most of the bees leaving and going next door? thanks for any help you can give, Virginia

Thanks for the post..... enjoyed watching the video.
He does good reviews, but some of them are a bit long. I am betting you aren't the first one to fall asleep during once since they are longer than most shows on TV.Originally Posted by Deadbolt
As a SS GP-100 4" barrel owner, I agree with his assertion that it's an Awesome Revolver. Thx for sharing the vid, enjoyed watching! Yogi
He does some good stuff but gets too long sometimes. I liked his review on the Ruger SP101. It's all good stuff.
+1...we have the SS SP-101 3 1/16" barrel version. Also a very fine revolver, actually the one my wife carries when she arms herself. Thx for the post! YogiOriginally Posted by Bgoff689
I think all that can be said about a firearm can be done in under 10 minutes. I don't care for those so-called "gun reviews" on outdoor shows that are only a minute or two long. But spending 40 minutes to talk about how awesome the Ruger GP-100 is seems to be a bit excessive. The only part that sucks is that between all the rambling and digression, he makes really valid points, so you kinda have to keep watching. Although, I wish he would just go through his data points and show some of it shooting as he does so. I like those parts.
I could definitely do a derned good review of the guns I own, but I'd only be repeating what has been said ad nauseum all over youtube and every gun rag out there. Nope, I'll just stick to posting videos of the guns in action. That's what the people really want to see anyway. Nobody wants to see someone unbox a brand new gun and show off the spare cartridge sent with it, or the complimentary gate lock, or all the NRA paperwork, etc. C'mon! Just shoot the gun! Get me some close ups of the gun and a few targets being destroyed and I'm all over it.Originally Posted by Bgoff689

By "nose dive" what do you mean exactly?
Hey all,
Was at the range this past weekend with a friend of mine. Both of us have p30s in 40 caliber. We only ran 180 grain ammo through them. Mine has been flawless from day one. A friend of mine experienced a nose dive type of jam. The ammo in question was federal american eagle fmj. Other than that both of our p30s ran flawlessly with various jhp's.
This was the first time that I had seen this type of jam, although I have read about it in the past. Anyone else have this experience? What is this jam typically due to? I have experienced failures to feed and failures to eject on a 1911 but not this type of malfunction. If it happens again I will make sure to take a pic
By "nose dive" what do you mean exactly?
Carpe Noctem
Rule #10 Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it's empty!
The OP should clarify, but usually it means a feed-related problem where the round hits the feed ramp wrong and ends up nose down instead of in the chamber.
That's exactly right, instead of feeding into the chamber, the round went "down" instead of up. No other problems like this before. Approximately 300 rounds through the gun
Never had any issues with Federal AEs
Sounds like a magazine issue
Glock 19 Gen 4
Whenever I've observed this type of stoppage, it is often times associated with a poor grip.
If this happened with more than one person shooting, probably mag springs. If it was only one person, check the mag. If it was one mag, probably mag spring. If it's multiple mags (or only happened once) probably just had a little limp wrist for that shot.
Clean your mags and double check your grip if the problem still occurs then maybe it's a weak mag spring.
Or an out of spec bullet or bent feed lips or some other debris that snagged the round at the front for the magazine allowing it to be spun overtop of itself.
I would be highly suspicious of a week grip on the pistol.
I have had a couple (2) of failure to feeds with my previously owned .40 P2000...both mag spring related.
"No, I'm not crazy....And neither am I ! Next Question!"

Lake District, EnglandAuthor: Gordon T. (More Trip Reviews by Gordon T.)
Date of Trip: September 2010
An Autumn Visit to the Lake District
I have always liked England's Lake District, particularly in Autumn –there is such an atmospheric charm to a still September day there. I have been several times but not recently so I looked forward to a week in the village of Coniston. The weather can be wet in the Lake District (here-in-after referred to as LD)– and so it proved once again – but if you've got some indoor distractions to distract from the rain, you could ride out the time until you can be walking, cycling or boating again.
Coniston was busy at the weekend, as the weather was good, people were drinking outside the pubs even though it was late September. Coniston is a small place, a village really, but has a surprising amount of pubs, 6 or 7 I would say. It has shops, and a petrol station, and "chippers" (fish and chip shops) , and of interest to me, an internet cafe, in Tibberthwaite Avenue, £2 for half an hour and a decent latte. For eating out, I recommend the Black Bull, in Coniston's main street, and the Wilson's Arms, in the nearby village of Torver. But beware, portions of food in the LD are usually very large, and you could easily put on weight. I cannot recommend, however, the service at the Sun Hotel in Coniston, where we found staff off-hand and disinterested. They do have a very nice lamb kashmiri curry there, though.
Coniston is right next to Coniston Water, a lake about seven miles long and roughly one mile across. There is a boating centre, where you can cruise on a steam yacht, or hire a motor launch, or even canoes and kayaks. Needless to say, there are paths and pleasant walks everywhere, we found one right beside the lake from the boating centre at Coniston running south, sign-posted Torver, although to go all the way to Torver would be about 4 miles and take you away from the lake.
Close to Coniston is the mountain known as the Old Man of Coniston. You can walk to the mountain from the village, or take transport up a narrow and steep road to a car park to save quite a bit of climbing. My group did not go to the top of the Old Man, I think that involves some quite strenuous uphill walking, but we went round to the west of the mountain to a tarn (that's a small lake in the higher areas). The paths here are quite rugged, you have to watch the whole time where you are putting your feet. The views are excellent, though, we saw the steam yacht proceeding down Coniston Water, quite a sight. Here is a good website with more information about walking on the Old Man of Coniston – http://www.knowledge.me.uk/walks/old_man_of_coniston.html
An interesting excursion from Coniston can be made to a disused quarry at Hodge Close, about two miles from the village – take the A593 road towards Ambleside, and look for the sign-posted road on the left to Hodge Close. This takes you to a large car-parking area, close to the main part of the quarry which is a huge and deep pit with sheer sides and deep water in the bottom. You can see two openings, and the remnants of a rail line, in one side of the quarry, and you can fairly easily descend to these and be right next to the water, which was absolutely still and makes for some nice photos with the rock reflections. You need to be careful and sure-footed around the quarry, but it is an interesting and atmospheric place, and I recommend spending an hour or two there. I gather it is popular with rock climbers, and with divers, as it has flooded chambers, and indeed whilst we were there we saw two people in wetsuits appear in the quarry and jump into the water – apparently they came through a tunnel from the other part of the site. I have found some websites with more information, and some photos – http://www.opencountryprints.co.uk/hodge.htm http://www.english-lakes.com/hodge_close.htm http://www.ukdivers.net/sites/hodge.htm http://www.visitcumbria.com/amb/hodge-close-quarry.htm
Coniston is surrounded with disused mines and quarries, and there is a good one to see on the Old Man. Walking up from the village (take the lane past the Co-op shop), you can climb a good path beside a stream up to a copper mine. There is lots of old abandoned machinery just lying around up here. You can go further past the mine, and a water industry installation, and take a more rugged path across the valley to link up with a better route down the other side, completing a loop to the path back to Coniston. This is not a long or difficult excursion at all, and well worth it for the things to see and the pleasant mountainside environment. I found these websites with lots of photos of the copper mine areas – http://www.aditnow.co.uk/album/Bonsor-Dressing-Floors-and-Mill/ http://www.mine-explorer.co.uk/view_picture.asp?id=4621
Another good walk which you can start from Coniston itself is to Tarn Hows. I didn't go on this walk myself but some of my group did and they said it was excellent. It is only about five miles there and back, and apparently affords one of the best views in the Lake District – quite a claim. Here is a detailed description of the walk – http://www.knowledge.me.uk/walks/tarn_hows.html I also like to cycle, and a stay in Coniston affords plenty of opportunities for rides of all distances amongst beautiful scenery. Beware, though – some of the busier roads are quite narrow, and to my mind are dangerous for cyclists – motorists driving too fast see them too late as they come round bends and over crests. You can find some lovely safe cycling on the many quieter roads in the LD. I noticed sign-posts for an off-road track from Coniston all the way to Ambleside, which would be much appreciated by cyclists as this stretch of road is particularly narrow, bendy, and undulating, especially towards the Coniston end. I did not go on any part of this path, but I imagine that it is not tarmac and best on an MTB or hybrid bike. I had a "racer" (i.e. narrow high pressure tyres) with me and was looking for an excursion around Coniston Water on the public roads. This was easily achievable, a round trip is only about 18 miles, and if you are starting from Coniston, you could continue on south to Ulverston to make it a longer trip – about 30 miles, this one.
I also like to ride a MTB on forest trails, and there is an ideal venue for this a short drive east from Coniston, at Grizedale Forest. There is a bike hire shop, with a sales and repair shop next door, and we received excellent and friendly service here. There is also a smart cafe close by. Bike hire cost £15 for up to 4 hours, no deposit required if you can provide a credit card number. The bikes we got were not top quality but they were good enough – but I believe you could get a better class of bike if you advise them that you are going on the more "technical" tracks – i.e. where more skilful and adventurous riding is required. My companion and I stuck to the main forest track, which was about a ten-mile circuit on good, wide, smooth surfaces. It was not muddy at all, despite it being a murky day, and there having been some wet weather in the proceeding days. The circuit was quite hilly, though, with some quite demanding climbs, but some long and fast downhills. We cycled the main track – marked in green on the provided map – in an anti-clockwise direction, which was for the best in my view, as the first two thirds had all the climbing, and the last third was almost all downhill. There were very few other cyclists, or walkers on the tracks, but then it was a rather grey weekday in late September. I imagine it is rather busier in the summer. I recommend a visit to Grizedale if you are a cyclist of any ability, there are fairly easy and shorter ways if you prefer, and it is very pleasant in the forest with good views at the northern end, looking down on Coniston Water and across the lake to Coniston village itself. And you are, of course, completely away from any motor traffic.
If you want to go to somewhere a bit bigger than Coniston, for shopping or whatever, then the busy town of Ambleside is about 20 minutes' drive away. Ambleside has a veritable plethora of outdoor gear shops. You can buy anything for the outdoors here, footwear, clothes, waterproof gear, walking poles, rucksacks, camping gear, GPS sets, it's all here and lots of choice. There are also some nice sweet shops and local produce outlets. There is a large car park at the northern end of the town, close to the shops. Ambleside has a nice atmosphere to it, and is well worth a visit. So there it is, you should certainly make plans to visit the Lake District if you have never been, if you are at all interested in outdoor pursuits. If the weather is dry, the region is a paradise, and there are lots of facilities, with the largish towns of Keswick (in the north), Ambleside and Windermere (in the centre), and Kendal (in the south). But for a quieter time, but still with lots of facilities, yet easy access to the hills, lakes, and less-frequented roads, Coniston is hard to beat, and I intend to make an annual trip there, at different seasons, for some years to come.

The importance of man's recognition of God and His con trol of man's destiny provided the mainstream of Dr. Haggai's address, despite side excursions into fields that were seemingly unrelated, and he likened the YMCA to a bridge between the life we make and God and His church. The YMCA, he said, must put on the street the knowledge that man has a leader, a guide, a hope in God. Prior to Dr. Haggai's address, E.

The driver of the other auto, Donald McCarthy, 47, of Claysburg, was treated for minor injuries. Stale police said the cars collided on a curve between Claysburg and East Freedom. LBJ May Act ; Cosf Of Living Rises By STERLING F. GREEN WASHINGTON (AP) - The consumer price rise has slowed a bit since February, but not nearly enough to erase the possibility that President Johnson may seek an anti-inflation tax boost. , The Labor Department reported Thursday a climb of four-tenths of 1 per cent in the living cost index in March, following a February jump of one-half of 1 per cent. The successive increases added up to the biggest two-month rise since 1958. But wholesale prices held steady and now have turned downward. In the week ended Tuesday they were three-tenths of 1 per cent below the February level. Housewifely economizing has helped somewhat. Retail pork prices dropped for the first time in four months, the department's report said, partly "because of stiffening consumer resistance to higher prices." There was no immediate comment on the index from the White House. President Johnson Air force, Navy Hit Targets in North... Allied Force Threatens Entire Red Regiment By THOMAS A. REEDY SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) - U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese troops threatened today to wipe out an entire Communist regiment after killing at least 257 Reds in the bloodiest fighting in a month. Backed by artillery and air strikes, the allied battalions nailed down the mixed North Vietnamese-Viet Cong force in the scrub hills 10 miles north- west of Quang Ngai on the northern coast. Blocking units moved in to cut off a Communist flight to the mountains in the east. U.S. officers reported from the battleground that Ihe Communists were caught in a trap and said the fighting was continuing. The Communists set up a blaze of automatic-weapons fire from the villages of Binh Back and Chau Nhani, but the Leath- ernecks took both in their eastward drive. The rain of steel from the air reduced Communist ground fire to a minimum on the second day of the allied strike. The battle brought government troops into a big action for the first time after weeks of political crisis. The U.S. Air Force and Navy continued hammering at North Viet Nam, hitting military bases, roads and bridges. Air Force pilots claimed they destroyed the Lang Bun and Phu Tho railroad bridges on the Red River valley line leading northwest of Hanoi to Red China. The Navy lost an A6 Intruder from the carrier Kitty Hawk over North Viet Nam, 12 miles north of Vinh.

When the time comes for turning the clock ahead an hour - at 2 a.m. Sunday unless you want to do it earlier and go to bed - the lineup of states on "fast" time and on standard time will remain about the same as last year. Nineteen will observe daylight saving time statewide, and 12 partly. The law does not require any state to adopt daylight saving time, but it does demand that a state which uses fast time at all must use the federal dates - April 24 to Oct. 30. In some states the period has been from Memorial Day to Labor Day, adding to the confusion in a nation with four time zones and plenty of rugged individualism. The law does not make daylight saving lime mandatory next year, either. Bui before the summer of 1967 rolls around, any state that wants to stay on "God's lime" will need a state legislative law specif ically forbidding daylight sav ing time.

The Republican Scranlon Administration also favored cutting the present $1,450 annual tuition for in-state students, but has not decided whether it wants to do it on a forthwith or degree scale.. The options include going to a $4.50 tuition fee next year, or to a $700 fee next year and then a $450 fee the following year. It would remain at the $450 level in future years.

Clearfield Council Airs Construction The municipal parking lot and sidewalk repair v/ere among the items of business on the agenda of last night's semi-monthly Clearfield Borough Council meeting. Following a report by Joseph V. Marino, chairman ol the building and grounds committee, Council voted unanimously to advertise immediately for bids for 50 parking meters "more or less." The advertisement is to be staled this way in the event that Council may wish to purchase -� in addition to the 50 meters needed for the municipal lot - new heads for the Cherry Street parking meters. This would be done to prevent the street meters from competing with those on the municipal lot. Engineer and Acting Street Commissioner Allan Martin reported that with good weather the municipal lot should be ready for blacktop in "a couple of days." After that the lines marking the parking spots can be painted and the parking meters installed. Concerning the need for sidewalk repair, a matter that was brought up at an earlier Council meeting, it was suggested that a public notice be inserted in the newspaper asking property owners to voluntarily repair their sidewalks. "I think that before we begin using pressure through sidewalk ordinances we should give the property owners a chance to make these repairs of their own free will," Councilman Roy Wise, chairman of the street, sidewalk and sewer committee, said. In other actions, the council-men approved erecting signs reading, "Slow, Children at Play," at either end of Krebs Avenue between West Pine and Clearfield streets, and accepted reports made by Police Chief Charles C. Edmiston and Fire Chief Edwin Halistrom. Approval of the signs was given after Clarence J. Pear- By MAX SKELTON HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) - A 65-year-old patient with a partial artificial heart may have suffered some brain damage after a dramatic operation to save his life, doctors said today. , � r r However, almost 24 hours after the device - about the size of a grapefruit -was implanted inside the man's chest his condition was generally reported as satisfactory. Physicians feared there may be brain damage because the patient, Marcel L. De t Rudder of Westville, III., had not regained consciousness. A team of noted specialists from Baylor and Rice universities headed by Dr. Michael E. DoBakey, 57, performed a six-hour operation on DeRuddcr Thursday at Methodist Hospital. They hope it will prolong his life and usher in a new era in the treatment of heart disease that could help thousands of other heart patients. The latest medical advisory said it was too early to tell the extent of the brain damage De-Rudder may have suffered. The advisory noted that the heart device was function normally as expected. The device, a dome-shaped pump about the size of a tennis ball, is outside the body and is allached to two tubes, each about an inch in diameter and about six inches long, which have been implanted in the )p�-tient's chest and attached to his heart. Physicians hope that when injured heart chambers have healed the pump can be removed and the implanted tubes sealed off. Other than the report of possible brain damage, it was similar to an earlier advisory that said DeRudder was "exhibiting no evidence of heart failure and everything was progressing most satisfactory." However, DeRudder was still not considered out of danger with the next 12 to 24 hours considered critical for him. "We definitely now keep a close eye on him," said DeBak* ey in an interview. "The pump," as he called it, "is doing its job. It is maintaining his blood pressure and keeping him out of heart failure. If he progresses well, within a week or 10 days, we can let his heart lake over," DeBakey said.

Hina Jilani (SW)and Analysts Saleem Safi, Oriya Maqbaaol Jan, Zafar Hilali in Today's episode of Policy Matters with Naseem Zehra.
6 thoughts on "Policy Matters – 22 September 2012"
Secular Pakistan is the only way
First of all being a humble Muslim I condemned the blasphemy of Islam and our beloved prophet Mohammad (May peace be upon him) It hurts the hearts and souls of the entire Muslim world, this is also a terrorism, the person who has created this must be punished by the United States of America in the severest possible punishment.
The followers and so called faithful to our prophet Mohammad (SAW) robbed the banks burned the public and private properties, vehicles and killed 30 innocent fellow humans on the day of " Ishq e Rasool " scores of pity policemen were seriously injured.
First of all I hold responsible this government of cowards manipulated by the so called custodians of Islam. The government should not call the protest, one day earlier they had good lesson imparted by these bandits in Islamabad when they burned police posts and beaten the policemen this all drama was staged in the name of Namoos of our beloved prophet Mohammad (SAW)
There is more than one and half Billion Muslims In the world there are 53 Muslim countries, the Islam which is supposed to be religion of peace, harmony, tolerance, equality, coexistence, brotherhood, that is the Islam which Mohammad (SAW) has brought to the mankind.
The Islam which is being enforced by some bandit's in Pakistan is disgrace it's shameful how you can commit the crimes in the Name of Namoos e Resalat (SAW).
Once again we have showed to the world that we are sick and abnormal society and we are not a nation just a crowd of uncivilized people.
Our Mullah's they are playing dirty politics we have witnessed in the past when with American dollars they started movement against Late Zulifqar Ali Bhutto " Nizam E Mustafa movement Bhutto was toppled and later hanged because he was founding father of Nuclear program and once Bhutto was overthrown the Mullah made alliance with military and join the government and their movement which they just played with the emotion of the people of Pakistan was disbanded.
Since the Afghanistan war so called "Jihad" Mullah did this so called holy war again with American Dollars our establishment supported these militant Mullah's and now they are so powerful they can attack anywhere anytime.
People of our country has become hostage look at the misery of Shia community and other none Muslim minorities they are migrating who can live in the state of fear. India our neighboring country there is vast majority of Muslims living side by side with Hindu's and Sikhs no one attach the Mosques and holy Shrines which is happening in the Islamic Republic if Pakistan what a shame.
Our Mullah's and political parties didn't show unity even in the protest against West every one called his own rallies, look even in the Holy name of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) we are not united what else we can do together for Pakistan and Islam.
I was in a hotel in Islamabad stayed few days yesterday returned, there were few foreigners staying in the same hotel every one was scared that the violent mob may attack the Hotel I witnessed pale faces in such terror State how we expect foreign investment.
I lived in Far East and now stationed in UAE a very peaceful, Islamic and liberal country it can be a role model for the entire Islamic world.
We go to Saudi Arabia for Ummrah and Hajj every year as per my belief they are the custodians of Islam there was no public protest but the Imam e Kaaba has issued strong condemnation and rest of the world lodged peaceful protest including the Muslim Governments.
Pakistan is the only country where the vicious mob did contrary to the teaching and traditions of our beloved prophet Mohammad (SAW).
The government and I ask General Kiyani that please uproot them with full force because they were planted by your predecessors it is time to destroy these evil forces they are the real enemy of Pakistan and Islam.
Make Pakistan a secular state as our founder Quid e Azam has envisioned, make Pakistan a country where all the majority and minority can live side by side like a family make this society an educated progressive, modern where we can exercise the true values of Islam.
Our society is facing a dangerous division on ethnicity, religion, politics and worst kind of sectarianism our civility has vanish, we have 3 or 4 Mosques in each village each one has his own interpretation of Islam they are confusing the young people and creating hate this practice if unfortunately continue and unnoticed Pakistan will be Somalia (Khakam Badahan" We must take necessary actions now or never.
Habib Jalib says aboiut Martial Law rtegeme but it is fit for today's Mullah's
" Watan Ka Chehra Khon Se dho Rahey ho- Muhabbat Goliyun se Bo Rahey ho"
" Tum Ko ye Guman ke Rasta kat raha hai- Mujh ko ye yaqin ke Manzal Khorahey ho"
you have to pay for the "Yom-e- Ishq-e-Rasool".
what are we doing with our nation!
the producer is safe there and we burn our property.
God Bless Pakistan.

|Bruins recall Jamie Tardif on emergency basis
|02.01.13 at 9:54 am ET
The Bruins recalled forward Jamie Tardif on an emergency basis Friday. He will be available to practice with the team on Friday and travel with the B's to Toronto for Saturday's game against the Maple Leafs.
The move comes a day after a rough Thursday night for the B's in which both Shawn Thornton and Daniel Paille left the game due to various injuries. Updates on both players are expected on Friday.
In 39 games for Providence this season, Tardif leads the team with 21 goals, which is second in the AHL. He also has nine assists for a total of 30 points. The 28 year-old has never played an NHL game.

|Bruins sign forwards Jamie Tardif and Josh Hennessy
|07.05.11 at 6:01 pm ET
Shortly after announcing their trade for defenseman Joe Corvo, the Bruins announced a couple of depth signings, as they inked forwards Jamie Tardif and Josh Hennessy to deals. Tardif's pact is for two-years, while Hennessy comes in on a one-year contract.
Tardif, 26, was a fourth-round pick of the Flames back in 2003. He has never played in the NHL and spent the last five seasons playing for Grand Rapids, the AHL affiliate of the Red Wings.
Hennessy, a Brockton native and 2003 second-round pick of the Sharks (43rd overall), has one goal in 20 career NHL games.

French ground operations began early on Wednesday in Mali, said Admiral Edouard Guillaud, the French military chief of staff.
France's defence minister said soldiers were heading away from the relative safety of the capital towards rebel strongholds in the north of the West African former French colony.
Five days of air strikes have done little to erode the Islamist gains, which some in the West fear could turn the region into a launching pad for terrorist attacks. The ground assault reversed France's earlier insistence that it would provide only air and logistical support for a military intervention led by African troops.
"Now we're on the ground," Admiral Guillaud said. "We will be in direct combat within hours."
On Tuesday, France announced that it was increasing the number of troops from 800 to 2,500. The offensive was to have been led by thousands of African troops pledged by Mali's neighbours, but they have yet to arrive, making it increasingly apparent that France will be leading the attack rather than playing a supporting role.
A French military spokesman said on Tuesday that the Islamists had managed to seize more territory despite the air assault because the fighters were embedding themselves with the population, making it difficult to bomb without causing civilian casualties.
Admiral Guillaud said the militant groups had a history of taking human shields and France would do its utmost to make sure civilians were not wrongly targeted. "When in doubt, we will not fire," he said.
Supplies for the French forces arrived in a steady stream on Tuesday, part of the enormous logistics operation needed to support thousands of troops in the baking Sahara sun, a terrain the Islamists have operated in for nearly a decade.
On Tuesday, US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta reiterated the Obama administration's position, saying no American troops will be sent. The US is helping with communications and intelligence-gathering, and may allow American aircraft to help with transport.

Director reveals more details in interview . . .
Director Ridley Scott had the following to say about his planned rehash of the classic Blade Runner in an interview with the Wall Street Journal:
a.) It is not a remake or a reboot but is instead "liable to be" a sequel.
b.) Harrison Ford's Deckard won't be in it. "Not really."
According to Scott they are "close" to finding a writer and that the project is actually "quite a long way in."
Filming is expected to start in early 2012.
Like the original The Thing and Tron which also been recently rehashed, Blade Runner was actually a box office disappointment but grew in stature on video and later DVD.
Some pointless Blade Runner trivia courtesy of IMDb.com:
Dustin Hoffman was the original choice to play Deckard, although he wondered why he was asked to play a "macho character".
While the film is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", the title comes from a book by Alan Nourse called "The Bladerunner". William S. Burroughs wrote a screenplay based on the Nourse book and a novella entitled "Blade Runner: A Movie." Ridley Scott bought the rights to the title but not the screenplay or the book. The Burroughs composition defines a blade runner as "a person who sells illegal surgical instruments".

Like many ideas, most of the drawings start as scribbles on a notebook:
My tools and setup are extremely simple. Since I travel a fair bit, I can't afford to get used to fancy things like a special (inclined) drawing table. I use white paper (usually plain print paper), a pencil for sketching, a small ruler, and for inking, either a paintbrush and black ink or, more commonly, a special paintbrush-like pen (more convenient to carry around, no time needed to rinse and clean the brush).
(I do sometimes use an eraser, but I didn't show that, hoping that you guys will believe I am so awesome I never make a single mistake in my sketches). I start by sketching with the pencil, sometimes after having drawn a frame with ink:
Once I'm happy with the sketch, I do the inking:
That's it for the paper (and most important) part. These drawings will end up in an envelope addressed to the author of the best comment on the drawing (on social networks) or the person who contributed the most to the drawing being shared on the web. That way I don't have to carry all that paper around, and hopefully it can make some more people happy! For my part, I only keep the scanned image.

st: non-rejection confidence intervals for relative risk

st: non-rejection confidence intervals for relative risk
Thu, 19 Jun 2008 08:46:44 -0600
Hello Statalisters:
I am working on vaccine efficacy data to submit to the USDA Center for Veterinary Biologics (CVB). One of the criteria used to establish a label claim is the lower bound of the prevented fraction calculated from the complement of the interval estimate of the relative risk (risk ratio). The method required by the CVB is called the "two one-sided score test" (TOSST) in a recent memo (http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/vet_biologics/publications/notice_07_15.pdf)
and attributed to
Agresti A, Min Y, 2001. On small-sample confidence intervals for parameters in discrete distribution.
Biometrics 57: 963-971.
This method is implemented in StatXact. However, in addition to not being in financial condition to purchase yet another piece of software, I'm not in mental condition to learn yet another piece of software.
Is anyone familiar with an implementation of this within Stata? I found Roger Newson's 2004-03-18 post describing the somersd package available on SCC. However, if I understand that discussion correctly, that is a different method based on tansformation, coverage interval calculation from a symetric probability distribution (normal?) and back-transformation to calculate the confidence interval. I believe the method required by the CVB is classified as a non-rejection interval, which I think I understand only in a very general sense.
I will be thrilled if anyone can direct me to a Stata implementation. I will also be grateful any other general advice regarding this problem.

When we set up BBH in 1982 we did so with some fundamental beliefs that have guided our company to this day. Most importantly, that outstanding strategic thinking linked to brilliant creative execution helps to create brand success. Our culture is one of difference: "When the world zigs, zag." We look for a different approach, a different point of view, a different way of engaging consumers and a different creative idea. We look at the conventions of our client's categories and try and find an answer that breaks those conventions giving them stand out, cut through and value for money. The marriage of strategy and creativity is as important and relevant in today's modern communications landscape as it ever has been, and we have transformed and evolved our business to ensure that we can deliver both strategically and creatively, not just in traditional broadcast channels, but also in newer digital platforms and channels. A privately owned, independent agency we have been able to continue to invest in the areas that we believe are crucially important to the future of our business. We have built up a solid data capability to underpin our strategic discipline, and we have invested heavily in digital and technology experts who work closely with our creative department to inspire and realise creative ideas in a digital and technology driven age. Despite all of these changes and innovations, the way we work is still shaped by our central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today.
"When the world zigs, zag"
This philosophy was born out of the first print execution we ever produced back in 1982 to launch black Levi's. It became something of a model for our own business…and how we approach Client's problems always seeking to challenge the prevailing or conventional wisdom.
The philosophy has created moments in our own history when we decided to go against the grain of our industry. We were the first agency to become financially transparent. We were the first agency to create a micro network to serve global business. We were the first agency to recognise the need for channel planning to be at the heart of all creative development so we created a discipline called Engagement planning.
Engagement planning, not to be confused with media planning, is focused on understanding the consumer journey, bringing clarity to the roles different channels play in the marketing mix, identifying how brands can be built through interaction and participation, and most importantly using disruptive channel thinking to get to bigger ideas that deliver a step change in communication effectiveness.
At BBH, we believe in one central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today. And in an increasingly complex and competitive world, it will be truer still tomorrow. So everything we do and all our structures support that single thought.
BBH is not a typical agency network. We have deliberately limited ourselves to offices in six key regional centres -London for Europe, New York for North America, Singapore and Shanghai for Asia Pacific, and Mumbai for India. These five regional hubs can work independently or collectively, depending on the needs of the individual client. Our six-office structure allows us to focus on consumer similarities, operational efficiencies and the development of international or pan regional communication solutions for brands. Our priority is the creation of big ideas for brands; ideas that successfully engage, cross borders and unite consumers. Central to this model is the idea of operational flexibility.

Chinese Megamalls
These malls all seem very parallel-universe to me. It's strange to walk around and see all the shopping-mall-trappings of the western world but with a Chinese twist on the whole thing. And to see it covered in Chinese people is also something I'm not used to. I'm sure they are used to it of course… and I am sure the opposite is totally true, maybe even more poignant because 98% of Chinese never even leave their own country.- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
