Marge Mayo loves making clothes.
Reporter Joe Carroll: You love fashion, don't you?
Marge Mayo: Yes, yes I do.
It's not just a hobby, but a business. For decades, Marge has had loyal customers coming to her home. She's not only their seamstress, but a friend.
Ever since she was a teenager, she's been hemming and sewing. At 94, Marge has slowed down a bit, but not much.
Today's project-- making a sweater for a friend in the nursing home who broke her shoulder. It's a Christmas gift.
Marge wants to look her best.
"I fix myself up every day," she said.
Her patterns and supplies are kept in the basement.
"This is where my materials are," she explained.
She gets a satisfaction in making clothes that are nice and fitted.
"I do pretty good going up those stairs!" she said.
Marge, as you can tell, is a very positive person, but she has had challenges in her life. For 12 years she took care of her sick husband; he had Alzheimer's disease.
"It wasn't easy, many times it was hard," Marge said.
Sometimes he would run away and she would find him down the road. But she says it's what she's most proud of, taking care of Earl. For all those years, she rarely left his side. She did ask why; they were good people trying to do the right thing.
"He was a character," she said. "He always made people laugh."
When he died, they had been married for 45 years and had raised two boys.
The irony is the place she kept Earl out of all those years is where she goes every week: the nursing home in town.
"I try to come down, cheer them up if I can," Marge said.
Today she's visiting her old friends Edith Washburn and Rose Benton. Every week, Marge drives to area nursing homes with a plate of doughnuts and cookies.
Joe Carroll: What do you get from coming here?
Marge Mayo: Well, the pleasure of seeing them and knowing they are still around with us.
Thankful for her friends and her independence.
Every other week, area retired educators get together for lunch. Marge is the only non-teacher of the bunch.

MIDDLEBURY — Addison Central Supervisory Union officials have confirmed that Leicester resident and current Rutland Middle School Principal Kristin Holsman-Francoeur is the lone finalist for the top administrative post at Middlebury Union Middle School.
The UD-3 school board is expected to meet next week to consider Holsman-Francoeur's candidacy. She would replace current MUMS Principal Patrick Reen, who is leaving this summer to take the job of superintendent of the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union in Bristol.
BRISTOL — Middlebury Union Middle School Principal Patrick Reen has been chosen to be the next Addison Northeast Supervisory Union superintendent. Reen will begin as superintendent July 1.
Residents in the five towns that comprise the ANeSU, and members of the school community, met with Reen Monday afternoon, and the ANeSU board interviewed the 37-year-old Bristol resident on Monday evening.
MIDDLEBURY — Summer's here, but class is still in session at Middlebury Union Middle School, where around 16 students are getting a crash course in entrepreneurship thanks to dedicated teachers, some community-minded business people and inspiration from an ABC television show that helps jump-start budding enterprises.
MIDDLEBURY — Residents in the seven Addison Central Supervisory Union (ACSU) towns will vote as soon as next March on a proposal to form a single school board that would have oversight over a single education budget for what would be a consolidated K-12 district.
MIDDLEBURY — Ask veteran Middlebury Union Middle School social studies educator Mary Goodale what got her interested in teaching, and she will give you, without hesitation, a very offbeat answer.
"Swimming," she said with a grin during an interview last week about her decision to retire this month after more than three decades as a teacher.
MIDDLEBURY — Two Middlebury schools are preparing for some leadership transitions.
Middlebury Union Middle School will welcome a new assistant principal this summer, while St. Mary's School is looking for a new top administrator to lead its students.
MUMS Principal Patrick Reen confirmed the appointment of Scott Sivo as new assistant principal. Sivo currently holds that same title at Hull High School in Hull, Mass., which is located south of Boston.
MIDDLEBURY — The following students at Middlebury Union Middle School have been recognized for their academic achievement during the third quarter of the 2014-2015 school year.
Academic High Honors
MIDDLBURY — Zach Bechhoeffer is only 18, but he can already lay claim to being a visionary of sorts. It was in 2011 when Bechhoeffer, then a Middlebury Union High School freshman, called for creation of an electronics club at the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center.

Where do I end ? 69 c-10
I have had my 1969 chevy pickup since I was 14 I am now 25. I have since put in three motors to find that I am never happy with the power. It know has 454 bored to a 468 11:1 comp. 300h.p.nos, turbo 400 reverse manual vale body, trans brake , 12 bolt w/locker ect..
Where I am at with the project is how much more do I put in it. It needs to be lowered . If I lower it I need to do drop spindles with disc brakes ( which it needs any way). I would like to go to a five lug so I can run bogart drag rims so now I need to change rear axels and I might as well put in hardened axels and if I am going to buy hardened axels shouldnt I just tubb it while I am getting new axels why buy them twice.
My question is will it be worth it to tubb it ? can it hook up without tubbing it?
Any ideas or vendors that have good kits for brakes and spindles?
I no that I will never get what I have in it out but just want to know if my goals are acheiveable without winning the lottery.
A good place to start is No-Limit Engineering in San Bernadino, they carry most tof the parts you'll need and are doing these conversions all the time. I believe their web address is www.nolimit.net

A 62-year-old man died Friday after falling from his bike in upper Corner Canyon near Draper.
Salt Lake County police and fire authorities responded to the canyon on Friday morning to help Allan Egbert, of Draper, who had apparently suffered a massive stroke or heart attack, which caused him to fall from the bike, Unified Fire Authority Capt. Clint Mecham said.
Mecham said people at the scene had reported performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Egbert, who appeared to be taking some breaths but apparently had no pulse. A helicopter had been called but was canceled about 11:30 a.m. when Egbert died, Mecham said.

Iran launches new cruise missile production line
Iran today launched a new production line of highly accurate, short range cruise missiles capable of evading radar, state TV reported.
The report quoted Iranian defence minister General Ahmad Vahidi as saying that the Nasr 1 (Victory) would be capable of destroying targets up to 1,000 tons in size.
The missile can be launched from the surface but would eventually be modified to be fired from helicopters and submarines, he said.
Gen Vahidi said it took some two years for an Iranian expert to develop the production line and it would strengthen Iran's naval power.
Iran frequently makes announcements about new advances in military technology that cannot be independently verified.
Iran began a military self-sufficiency programme in 1992, under which it produces a large range of weapons, including tanks, medium range missiles, jet fighters and torpedoes.

Support Broken Arrow restaurants by encouraging your employees to go to lunch on Friday, June 14
Take Your Employees to Lunch Day
Support Broken Arrow restaurants by encouraging your employees to go to lunch on Friday, June 14
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, June 13, 2013 - The residents of Oklahoma are always supportive of each other and the Broken Arrow Chamber is asking them to step up once again.
Tomorrow, Friday, June 14, 2013, the BA Chamber is promoting "Take Your Employees to Lunch Day." Businesses are being asked to allow their employees time to go out to lunch at a Broken Arrow restaurant.
"Several businesses in Broken Arrow lost revenue during the water issue. The best way to help those business owners and their employees is to patron them," stated April Sailsbury, senior vice president of the Broken Arrow Chamber. "In addition to eating out, consider tipping a little extra to help the employees who lost wages."
"We appreciate the patience of our residents and business owners during this emergency situation," said Mayor Craig Thurmond. "Please take the time to eat at Broken Arrow establishments tomorrow. This an excellent way to show our restaurants that this community will always come together and support our local businesses."
The Tulsa County Health Department asked restaurants to close on Wednesday morning and remain closed until further notice. Restaurants are now starting to go through the process of opening and plan to be open for dinner tonight or at the very latest tomorrow morning.
"Closing your business for 36 hours would be a strain on any business. In addition to our restaurant losing income, our employees lost wages they rely on. We appreciate the support we are receiving from the BA Chamber, the local business communities and the residents," said Jason Scarpa, owner and operator of Main Street Tavern in Broken Arrow.
Businesses in Broken Arrow and surrounding communities are encouraged to participate in "Take Your Employees to Lunch Day!"

I telephoned my broker, Swinton Insurance, to change the motorbikes covered by my policy. I have done this before, and just paid admin costs.
The insurance company, Chaucer, said the premium would rise by £215 for the remaining three months of the year. The original 12 months cost only £328.
I found new insurance but am still waiting for a three-month refund.
MH, Sheffield
Swinton says the quote was so expensive because one of your new bikes was not a type that Chaucer would normally quote for, so it put in a high figure.
The broker should have found you a cheaper quote - that's its job - rather than passing it on but no one did.
Swinton admits it was poor service but it says you are not due a refund because Chaucer has a "short period cancellation scale" so, because you have already had more than seven months' cover, you must pay 100% of the premium.
Because it let you down, Swinton has sent you £85 for the three months' outstanding premium plus £25 compensation with apologies.
Text 'stop' to end scam'
Last November, my mobile phone bill included £11.50 for a series of premium-rate calls. I knew I had never made them. It turned out to be from O2 offering me a prize, and I had texted back asking for identification. O2 sent me a snotty letter claiming I must have called recipe or holiday sites.
ES, London
O2 Online is cheeky to suggest you had called a recipe site because it was O2's own promotion that landed you with the bill. O2 has since been fined £10,000 by the premium-line watchdog, Icstis, for this scam.
O2 says a third party, which it has now disconnected, used its service to send these unwanted messages but nonetheless O2 is responsible.
It sent customers an unsolicited SMS (short message service) or premium-rate text message saying they could claim unredeemed Sim points. These Sim points did not exist but, by responding with your query, you activated a reverse bill subscription service.
This allowed O2 to charge you for receiving texts promoting ringtones and mobile phone logos. You were paying to receive advertisements, but marketing through unsolicited text messages is illegal. To stop these calls, you can text the universal code "stop" to the five-digit short code the service sent.
O2 is now refunding your costs.
Fully, and finally settled
Last October, I made a final payment of £28.44 on my Abbey credit card. Unfortunately it was late and Abbey imposed a £25 late fee, which reduced to £12.50.
Because of post difficulties, that was two days late arriving, since when Abbey has imposed monthly £25 late fees and threatened court action.
From a £12.50 charge, I now face a bill of £184 but Abbey does not respond to my letters.
TMcP, Coventry
It is quite reasonable that your account should be treated as settled when you paid the £12.50.
Abbey now agrees, and has waived all the charges.
For starters, a pension plan
I am employed as the clerk to a parish council in Hertfordshire, working on average six hours a week, and paid just under £250 a month before tax. I am entitled to a pension from the council, which could opt in to the Local Government Pension Scheme. But it is unlikely to do so as the employer contributions are high and the council's income is small. It has suggested a stakeholder pension, but I don't know where to start.
CC, Berkhamsted
Hertfordshire County Council pension office explains that premiums are expensive because you would be the only one in the parish scheme and, possibly, are an older person. Having more people and younger ages would balance out the cost. The local government scheme is your better choice and the parish council can contact the county council for more detail.
You can ask an independent financial adviser for help choosing a stakeholder pension. For names of local IFAs contact IFA Promotion on 0800 085 3250 or at www.unbiased.co.uk
Or you can choose your own pension provider. The Pensions Regulator maintains a register of stakeholder schemes on thepensionsregulator.gov.uk See also stakeholderpensions.gov.uk for links.
Stakeholder pensions must be low-cost and flexible. All must accept contributions of at least £20 a month, although a few take less. You and the parish council together can contribute up to £3,600 a year regardless of how much you earn.

Pardon me while I
We have one and I love it. It practically sold me on the whole house.
It is pretty narrow but has 2 big closets on one side with large cut in space between them. One closet is coats, dog food, the vacuum cleaner and things like light bulbs, etc. The other is shelved and has all my bigger appliances that I don't use daily (like my kitchen aid) plus all my baking stuff-muffin pans, cookie cutters, big roasting pans, extra pitchers, etc. the bottom has all our cleaning supplies.
In between is a wooden cubby system for all my sons stuff. each cubby has a basket. There is one for mittens/gloves, another for hats, another for sports stuff etc. On either side are 2 big hooks for his coats and in front is boot tray for shoes.
Opposite is a big wooden built in hutch with shelves. On the shelves I store/display all my Le Crueset pots and pans. Down below in the cupboard is wine, seltzer, mixers etc.
next to the hutch is window that has a nice bench below. perfect for putting on boots, skates, dropping groceries etc.
Finally on the other side of the window are lots of shelves for my huge cookbook collection and narrow, kind of hidden storage closet where I keep all my canned goods.
the only bummer is that it is NOT heated. We keep a space heater there for really cold mornings or when we get in from being outside and are really cold. keeps us all from trekking into the house with our coats and boots still on!
Momma to Sweet Rosie 7/06, Lost Baby J 1/09 at 12 weeks pregnant, Spitfire Ada born 4/21/10, and Baby Boy due July/August 2013!
Aspiring urban homesteader, photographer, homeschooling momma! Blog link in my profile.
I have one-it's really big, and I absolutely love it. We designed what we needed out of avail. space in. We chose slate flooring for durability and easy cleaning. We have a great old bench w/storage, pine shelves for shoes, hooks for all of the cold weather gear (snowshoes, ice skates, etc) and in the summer they hand beach bags w/all the stuff ready to go. I have specific space for muddy boots (we are very rural). I have long, long old barnboards w/industrial hooks for all of our coats (easy to grab on the way out the door), and shelving w/baskets above for spare hats, etc.
My only item (s) on the wish list are a compact washer/dryer and laundry tub for all of our outdoor stuff, but that's a later project!

I had been missing salsa verde, because I cannot seem to find tomatillos to make my own in Korea. This stuff really hit the spot!
Oh So Tasty

I have loved this salsa for years. I make my own roasted tomatillo salsa fresh with peppers from my garden too,and sometimes with my own home grown tomatillos. The thing is, I like this salsa as well as my own. This is bursting with flavor, and when you add a little fresh lime juice on top of this, WOW! Way to go chef Rick Bayless and iHerb. Thanks so much for this wonderful treat at a fantastic price!

I've been living overseas for three years now and it's hard to find good salsa. This is my favorite item on iHerb and I put it on everything that I can. Highly addictive! Perfect with blue corn tortilla chips. :)
Sooo good!

I made some amazing pulled chicken with this salsa, though I had eaten a quarter of the jar with tortilla chips before I was done cooking! I highly recommend it--the flavor is great.
taste like jalapenos texan salsa

nothing mexican here, texan salsa, no spicy, taste like jalapenos more than tomatillos, a substitute of green salsa if you have no more choices.
Good brand and ingredients, too smoky/charred for my tastes

I wasn't aware of the level of char to all this brand's salsa's. If you like that, you will love this one.
Medium still too hot for me!
Posted by Reviewer2467468 on Jun 21, 2012 | Verified Purchase
Yup, I'm a wimp. It's probably just right for most people. I wish there was a mild, because the taste is delicious but the lingering heat too much for me. I've been putting in a tiny bit into salsa fresca.
I can't eat this salsa, it's much too sharp
Posted by Reviewer1599768 on Oct 15, 2012 | Verified Purchase
This stuff is almosf as liquid as ketchup, a kind of sickly green color, and incredibly sharp, not medium at all. I have always loved Amy's mild salsa, which is chunky and thick, just a little spicy, and tastes of tomatoes. Iherb, please sell Amy's Salsa!
Very tasty!

SMKW is a great place. I got to handle some surprisingly well made toys... and some surprisingly crappy ones too. Nothing like being able to actually handle something before you buy. On a side note, it is rather depressing how crappy the newer Gerber multitools are. Even the usa made ones, were pretty nasty. The knife blade was sharp, but very rough and poorly ground, with a badly rolled edge.
Also disappointing was that the veterans museum was closed all week while we were there. :(
There is a new place called wonderworks. (the amusement park for the mind) Now that was fun, the wife and I spent 5 hours in there.
The ripleys museum was good.
The comedy barn was fun as well.
What I did not like at all were the simulated rides. The seats are made for children, or anorexic pygmies. Not to mention they were so rough that I came away with bruises and a pulled muscle in my right arm. (from holding on) No wonder they have seatbelts. YUK! Keep in mind I do some mild off roading, and have bounced a vehicle so hard as to knock the dome light out of the roof and that was not nearly as rough as those simulated rides. Large people, STAY AWAY!
Cades cove a few miles away was ok, but I can honesly say that the woods around here as just as pretty, with just about as many deer. (no bears though) On another side note, my inlaws have quite a bit of land, but it is 90% steep hills and rocks. There is so much game up that way, my father inlaw has been known to go deer hunting from the back bedroom window. Just open the door and sit there for an hour or two, till something walks by. His wife made him stop though. LOL! Now he has to go all the way out onto the porch if he wants to go hunting.
The Sevierville indoor range was pretty nice as well. I got my wife to blast through a box or two of ammo with me and she enjoyed herself. Unfortunately the range section is not air conditioned and it was very hot that day so we didn't stay as long as I would have liked. She is slowly developing a taste for shooting. I am hoping that eventually I can get her excited about going to the air conditioned range about 20 minutes from her office.
All things considered TN was fun, but all in all I am glad to be home.
Well... all except the having to go back to work thing.
Thanks everyone for helping me find good places to visit, and stay 100% legal.
Glad ya' enjoyed the trip GS. I agree, no matter how nice the trip is, it'a always good to get back home and sleep in your own bed.
Aaaaaahhhhh! Select comfort.... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!Originally Posted by maclean3
I'm glad all went well, and that you're home safely! Visit again!

I'm so excited to bring this site to you, but I want to start by letting you know that not all the lessons are free. There were so many awesome free ones though that I think it is a fair exchange to share this site with you. The lessons that are free will be marked so on the thumbnail for the video, if they are paid-for videos you'll see a coin with a number next to it.
To get started I suggest you watch the Meet Curious video on the main page. It is about a minute long and gives you a real feel for the variety of lessons available on the site.
One of my favorite features on this site is the Feeling Curious button on the main page. If you click it, you'll be whisked off to a Lesson Wheel which spins and randomly generates three classes for you to look at, don't like your options?

Cops are the good guys!
This is a discussion on CCW Identification in a Tactical Situation within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; <redundant>...
Last edited by Henry; May 17th, 2007 at 12:25 PM. Reason: I needed to refresh my page, the issue has already been dealt with
Cops are the good guys!
oO( I am just glad that i got busy and Six took the heat on this one lol . )
Look guys if you pull , or god forbid use a firearm in a manner that the police are called YOU ARE THE BAD GUY THEY RESPOND TO . Do exactly what they say , no more , no less . the faster they can " secure " YOU the faster they can deal with the situation that you faced in the first place . You will be detained in cuffs , cowboy up and deal with it . As far as another ccw goes ( unlikely unless they rob a gunshop or such ) If the firearm(s) are pointed at a bad guy they are friends , if the firearm is pointed at me they are another bad guy . It really is that simple .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
I agree with sixto. If I were in that situation, the first sign of LE and I am dropping the weapon and hands up. They can cuff me and stuff me in the back of a car if they want, it will get straightened out after the fact.
Better embarassed and alive than heroic and dead.
One this this thread is really reiterating is that carrying AND especially using a weapon in a crisis situation is a complex thing and we just all better recognize that there are no real clean solutions to this identifcation problem.
SIXTO... I'm starting to better understand the LEO aspect of this. It ain't easy from either side is it?
Semper Paratus (Always Ready)
Kudos to this post .SIXTO... I'm starting to better understand the LEO aspect of this. It ain't easy from either side is it?
There is NOTHING that can be seen as an absolute in a use of force situation , Personal goals and opinions go right out the window when you are faced with the " man with a gun " be you LE or not . Most officers have a real deep desire to make thier little corner of the world better ( they are to smart to think they can change the world ) . LE is in fact a calling as well as a profession and by no means can all who are called handle the reality of it . I was LE for 10.5 years 10 of them pretty happy tho poor . I will go to my grave now knowing i have done more good than harm in this life and that is worth a lot since not all riches are financial . Six and others serve as the boys in the .mil do just without the kudos for the most part . We as ccw bs a lot about how we would rather have a gun than a cop , and its just that BS . If i could get a cop on demand , this instant well that folks is what i want lol . Unfortunatly in the small town i live in there are exactly 2 city officers , with backup of 3 county officers . All of them will do a better job of investigation than a patrolman from a large agency .. but by the same token they wont be here if things happen when there is no coverage . This means we have an awesome clearance rate on crime since the officers we do have are well trained ( over trained by some standards ) . But we do real bad on " 911 interverntion " by the police . If you call our officers will show up , and when they do you had best listen to them , they may be late but they will be there in the time it takes to get dressed, ect... and they will bring all the friends they can find , some of them you may not know . Its time to be offical even if you know the officer ... do what he says , and go on from there .. I can whip dammed near any case in court ( see oj and murder on google if needed ) but the officers who show up want to " fix " the situation they are called to ... its my time to both comply and stfu .
Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .
We only begin to understand folks after we stop and think .
Criminals are looking for victims, not opponents.
All the good guys should be wearing white hats or a badge. I would put my gun down and follow any instructions the LEO gave
If I ever have to draw and fire or just draw when the LEO arrives I will act faster than France did in WWII.
Last thing we need is another reason to remove guns from this world because a LEO shot the man who stopped the BG because he was the one with the gun.
My thoughts on that: The only form of ID is what i've been issued by (in my case) the OSBI: The CHL-card! I cannot cover all possibilities here, but here is what i would in 99.9% of the cases when i have to draw my weapon: As soon as the immediate thread is over, i'll get my wallet with the CHL, unfold it, wait for the police to arrive and follow all their orders. Period.
It propably won't protect me from being cuffed and hauled away, but at least it gives the cops an ideat that "this is propably a good guy" and it may help working things out faster.
Just my 2 cents!
Okay, Sixto,
I'll humbly apologize for misreading your post.Whamonkey expressed my sentiments. It just came across as if you ain't in a uniform you're just another jerk I have to deal with and no matter how good you think you are, you're not one of us.Originally Posted by Sixto
Sorry, but that's the way I read it. Now I see you're just saying that regardless of any sort of symbol, sign or communication, if someone has a gun, no uniform or badge, they get cuffed & secured as a suspect until you can sort it out.
And as I mentioned, once the cops arrive, it's their scene and you follow their directions.You might want to read the FBI's "Violent Encounters: A Study of Felonious Assaults on Our Nation's Law Enforcement Officers."Originally Posted by Sixto
Here is a very good summary at ForceScienceNews.
Excerpt: :coffee-n-news:
The offenders said they most often hid guns on their person in the front waistband, with the groin area and the small of the back nearly tied for second place. Some occasionally gave their weapons to another person to carry, "most often a female companion." None regularly used a holster, and about 40% at least sometimes carried a backup weapon.
BillCA in CA (Unfortunately)
Webmaster - Taking on Gun Control
A gun in the hand beats a cop on the phone!
Stupid post, these are the ppl who shouldn't have a CCW.
I might point out that the recent introduction of a bill in SC to allow carry in Colleges and University's here resulted in comments from our LEO Chief to be printed just to this very point. His objections was "we would not be able to tell the good guy from the bad guy". Now...thats a valid claim. But its not a valid reason to deny someone the right to protect himself. Inevitably someone is going to get shot by an LE from mistaken identity. And its likely as not to be the Defenders fault. Assuming he/she does not realize that THEY CAN"T tell the bad guy from the good guy. However I disagree with him in the conclusion that this is enough reason to deny people the right to defend themselves. Because if HE cannot provide 100% security to 100% or the people 100% of the time, he has no right to deny them the ability to protect themselves. He may have situations where his people have the right to shoot a good guy. But it will be the good guys fault. It probably will happen some day... but I will take my chances with that. And I think every CWP will too. I don't expect them to know. I expect to make it as clear as I can that I am no threat. I expect them to consider all people a threat in that sort of an incident. At least I am still alive to try and prove I am no threat. At least I lived 10 minutes longer to do so.
I will be taking him to task on this through private channels. How many times have we heard that excuse? How many times was it followed up that we would all be safer if only the cops had guns? How many times does it have to fail for this slight hypothetical risk to be worth it?
I agree with you cp, but it can be an issue like the OP pointed out with the original question.
BillCA brought up the point that very few BG's wear holsters etc., and while he has a point, I doubt that any LEO is going to be paying attention to how you have accessorized for the day. If you were CCing before the shooting started, your holster is likely to be still concealed. I'm not looking at your holster either way when the bullets are flying.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.

OPINION: We have to deal with this properly.
National Post, May 30th 2002 front page headline: Harper calls Canada a nation of defeatists, defends remark about easterners.
Arguments based on saying what ….can't be done because of the legislation…., or some such, in response to requests to deal with a problem, are false. Further, they serve merely to progagate defeatism of the type that the Prime Minister disapproves of. If there is a problem then you FIX IT.
2010/09-1 2010 Engineers Canada Labour Market Conditions Report CLICK HERE
2010/07-1 Ottawa Citizen article July 31st 2010., On the outside track. Discusses federal government work and Ottawa firm Coradix Technology Consulting. Quote:-
At any given moment, Coradix has 250 consultants on the job -- about 90 per cent of whom are independent contractors. The consultants are managed by nearly 30 office staff, who market Coradix to various federal departments and agencies, and who try to keep fresh the firm's bank of 20,000 résumés.
- unquote. One question out of many that could be asked is:-
If Coradix has 250 consultants actually working at any given time, WHAT ARE THE OTHER 19,750 PEOPLE IN THEIR RESUME BANK DOING?

2009/11-1 Engineering and Technology Labour Market Study – Final Report - April 30, 2009. This was in preparation for two years and was prompted by the problems noted under item 2008/06-1 below.
2009/11-2 Analysis and comments on Engineering and Technology Labour Market Study – Final Report . By: Robert T. Chisholm
I found that the report omitted any consideration of certain rare but important reports, all downloadable from this site. It appears that nobody thought to mention these reports in time to anybody connected with the Engineering and Technology labour Market Study . As a result, among other things, there was no mention in it of the simple but fundamental question of lack of jobs relative to the numbers of people applying for every job opening available; I have seen figures of between 70 and 5,000 quoted, all these are documented to some extent.
2009/11-3. Mis-reporting concerning people out of work – misleading numbers and pejorative / un-qualified mis-labelling of the people affected.
Several newspaper reports from 2004 onwards up to mid-2009, beginning with:-
Older workers more secure, but harder to re-employ
Long-term unemployment down from early '90s high, Statistics Canada says
- article in The Ottawa Citizen by Eric Beauchesne, April 22, 2004. This concerns a Stats Can analysis suggesting that
… after a year or more of being out of work, some may give up looking for jobs and drop out of the labour force.
This in turn labels the people affected as defeatists or dropouts, with no research results to support any such description.
2009/11-4. OTTAWA'S HIGH TECH WORKFORCE: JOBS AND RETRAINING November 15, 2009 By: Robert T. Chisholm
This considers the conditions necessary to success in job hunting. It also examines some retraining programs from the standpoint of positive attributes, deficiencies and
the remedies for the said deficiencies. The emphasis is on jobs in engineering and technology.
2008/06-1 Ongoing problem since about 1992: massive over-supply of professional engineers in Ontario, relative to demand, reported by Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (O.S.P.E.). Cause of resulting lack of employment opportunities is attributed to mis-guided immigration policies which do not limit the intake based on actual demand from employers.
The key point was THIS: an estimated cumulative over-supply, between 1990 and 2002, of 85,000 engineers in Canada – CAUSED BY THIS POLICY AND OTHER FACTORS. CLICK HERE
This and other things prompted the research and preparation of the report released on April 30th 2009, noted under item 2009/11-1 above.
2008/04-1. Title: Skilled IT Worker Shortage a Major Concern April 04, 2008 article by Tess van Straaten in the periodical, Business Edge. Analysis of both the article and all the source documents reveals a continuing total or near-total lack of awareness of any of the issues referred to elsewhere on this page, from 1998 up to December 2007. Based on this analysis, ubiquitous assumptions are being made, to the effect that the issues do not exist at all. The major conclusion is that widespread skill shortages are being reported by many sources - but, at the same time, there are no admissions at all concerning the numbers out of work plus no admissions at all concerning the necessity for re-training to enable the people affected to become taxpayers again. The overall assumption has been made that the said skill shortgage must be met through more immigration and more new graduates from colleges and universities in Canada. There is an admission only now - in 2008 - concerning the need to re-skill an existing workforce, but no such admission anywhere concerning people out of work (with the underlying incorrect assumption that they do not even exist).
The analysis was done based on keyword searches.

2007/12-1. December 2007 Powerpoint presentation to Ontario's Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities explaining why it was wrong to cut off funding to the Ottawa Talent Initiative which was helping out-of work high tech people in Ottawa get back to work. Faulty arithmetic and other types of wrong analysis of the situation are shown to be the cause of the problem. In particular, it is shown that wrong and grossly over-optimistic impressions of the numbers re-hired, out of those laid off, led to this incorrect decision to stop the funding
ERRATUM - slide 17 of 22 – re. "…277,756 job applications
…" - should read "…27,559 job applications
…" TYPO! But it doesn't alter the argument. The figure "40 years" is still correct. Apologies for any confusion caused! Apr 10 2014
2007/07-1. Title: Life After the High-tech Downturn: Permanent Layoffs and Earnings Losses of Displaced Workers - July 20th 2007 Statistics Canada report.. This report was released 3 days after a meeting in Kanata at which Ottawa Talent Initiative clients were explicitly told by Ontario s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities that funding for the Ottawa Talent Initiative Action Centre in Kanata was to be stopped. The report attempts to establish the numbers re-hired out of those laid off; as such, it was the first report from any level of government which employed the correct principles of counting – based on sets and Venn diagrams – to establish what was really happening, 6 years after the well-publicized troubles started in late 2000 / early 2001.
2007/03-1 Stats man strives to never be 'boring' March 2007 article about then-retiring Dr. Ivan Fellegi who was Chief Statistician for Statistics Canada. This mentions how Statistics Canada get their specifications for information needed either from other government departments or from industry; there is no mention of any means of feedback from organized labour or the general public with respect to methods for measuring and reporting on unemployment and under-employment (which is basic to satisfactory knowledge of the overall performance of the economy)
2006/11-1. Title: Better Counting: How Many Out-of Work Techies in Ottawa Still Want Work? Nov.24, 2006. By: Robert T. Chisholm
Incomplete statistics and faulty arithmetic as causes of confusion, controversy, anger and under-statements concerning the size of Ottawa's high tech unemployment problem since 2001. Some consequences of over-looking basic principles of counting and the theory of sets and Venn diagrams, known to Ontario high school leavers, are examined.
2006/07-2 Ottawa Technology Industry Guide Summer/Fall 2006, published by the Ottawa Business Journal.
Special Report: Is there, or is there not a skills shortage? Time for an Upgrade… article, by Jeff Pappone. This features:- Gary Davis, Executive Director of the Ottawa Talent Initiative; O.C.R.I. President Jeffrey Dale; unemployed technology worker Robert Chisholm; Procom V.P. of Business Development Keith Carter and others. Picture of Robert Chisholm holding up a Venn diagram to illustrate how mis-counting of the people affected and re-hired following layoff was happening.
2006/07-1. Title: Behind the Numbers, July 13 2006. Article in The Ottawa Citizen by Andrew Mayeda and James Bagnall. This concerns the employment numbers reported in the media since mid-1999, up to mid-2006, for Ottawa s high tech sector. Both the Stats Can and OCRI numbers are shown, graphically. This article explains why the OCRI numbers, in particular, do not in any way represent the numbers of people re-hired following layoffs. However this article does not explicitly state the correct mathematical approach which must be used (even though it is instinctively obvious !!)
2006/06-1 June 12, 2006. Business at Night radio interview with Paul Swinwood, President of the Software Human Resources Council (since re-named the Information and Communications Technology Council, with an expanded mandate and with Paul Swinwood as its President.) The interview was with CFRA 580 Radio in Ottawa. It attempts to portray the Ottawa high tech employment as booming, or some such - when this was actually not the case, because the interview ignored the numbers of people out of work.
2006/03-2 Realistic overall view of true dimensions of unemployment and under-employment in Canada based on (a) Labour Force Survey of Feb 10, 2006, (b) the Ottawa s Hidden Workforce report of Fall 1998 (item 1998/10-01 on this list) , (c) the Work Hours Instability in Canada report of March 2006, (d) Work and Labour in Canada - Critical Issues , May 2005, author Andrew Jackson who is Chief Economist of the Canadian Labour Congress
2006/03-1 March 2006: Statistics Canada report, Work Hours Instability in Canada. Results of 5-year survey which found, among other things, that only one third of employed Canadians aged between 25 and 54 has "standard full-time work", considered to be between 34 and 46 hours per week.
2006/02-2 Ottawa Business Journal article by Robert T. Chisholm, published Feb 13 2006, Tech employment: are we counting the people properly?

2006/02-1 Typical Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada, issued monthly. This example is for February 10, 2006. In particular, note the absence of any breakdown of the group of people classed as Not in the Labour Force - when the Ottawa s Hidden Workforce report of Fall 1998 (item 1998/10-01 on this list) indicates that this is where most people unemployed in real terms are hidden from view.

2005/06-1. Title: Steering on Black Ice: The Continuing Search for Sustainable Livelihoods in the Ottawa Tech Sector, by Carleton University, June 02 2005. Authors: Edward T. Jackson and Rahil Khan. Among other things, this report points out the contradictions between the OCRI and Stats Can numbers, and the continual (if accidental) reference to the OCRI numbers to produce over-optimistic impressions of the numbers of people re-hired following layoff(s)
2005/06-1 Title: Mathematics of Job Hunting, Re-Training and Tax Revenue Production, June 15 2005. By Robert T. Chisholm. This examines the job-hunting problem from using a probability and statistics–based approach. The essential un-solvability of the resulting personal financial management problem is analyzed. Among others, the influence of the who you know factor is examined and how this works, mathematically, against people out of work for a long time. The negative implications for the tax base of ignoring the problem are considered.
2004/04-1. Title: Older workers more secure, but harder to re-employ ( See also item above, 2009/11-3. Mis-reporting concerning people out of work….)
Article in The Ottawa Citizen by Eric Beauchesne, April 22, 2004. This concerns a Stats Can analysis suggesting that
… after a year or more of being out of work, some may give up looking for jobs and drop out of the labour force.
This in turn labels the people affected as defeatists or dropouts, with no research results to support any such description.
2002/09-1. Title: High-tech boom and bust by Geoff Bowlby and Stéphanie Langlois. Statistics Canada - Catalogue no. 75-001-XPE Summer 2002 PERSPECTIVES.
Early indication of the size of the problem which began in late 2000 / early 2001. However it considers only the changes in total numbers employed and does not discuss the question of tracking what happens to individuals following layoff.
2002/04-1 Community Forum on Ottawa s high tech industry, April 18 2002
This was organized by then-federal M.P. and Minister of National Defence David Pratt; the main guest speaker was then-federal minister for Industry Allan Rock.
I attended this forum. Almost all the people who attended were local high tech business leaders, including (among others) Alan Chowaniec of Tundra Semiconductor Corporation. All raised concerns about tax rates and other issues limiting their ability to expand operations.
My own written presentation, referred to below, was intended to draw attention to the numbers of jobs needed so as to enable government to optimize revenues for the tax base (which equates to, the numbers of people without work and wanting it).
I left a hardcopy version at the forum, with someone who was collecting all the written submissions. Later, I sent the electronic one (MS Word) to David Pratt s office when he asked for it. My verbal presentation to the audience was a shortened version of the above, lasting a little under 2 minutes. I have two witnesses to it, from Ottawa consulting firm Brain Storm Associates. When I met Adam Chowaniec - President and C.E.O. of Tundra Semiconductor Corporation – at the 2005 Ottawa Talent Forum, he told me that he too remembered it, but had never seen a copy of the Final Report on this Forum.
I only got a copy of the Final Report on this Forum in November 2003 – 19 months after the event - through the Ottawahitech online discussion group, a month after I posted a reference to it to that group. Then I found this Final Report report was dated December 2002. Between April 2002 and October 2003 when I joined the Ottawahitech group, I was never able to find out from David Pratt's office when this final Report was supposed to be released. Then when I saw it, I found there was NO REFERENCE AT ALL to my warning about the true size of the unemployment problem; clearly, it had been ignored.
2000/10-01 Title: Choosing a Future: A New Economic Vision for Ottawa , by ICF Consulting, Fall 2000. This mentions Ottawa s Hidden Workforce and a true unemployment rate of as much as 30%
1998/10-01. Title: Ottawa s Hidden Workforce, Fall 1998. By: Ottawa Economic Development Corporation (since absorbed into OCRI, the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation) 145,000 jobs actually needed to solve the problem in a community having a total population of 771,900, an official labour force of 442,500 and only 38,800 official unemployed equating to an official average unemployment rate of 8.8% for 1997.

Israel Nervously Watches Egypt
Welcome to Politics Bites, where every afternoon at It's A Free Country, we bring you the unmissable quotes from the morning's political conversations on WNYC. Today on The Brian Lehrer Show, Neil MacFarquhar, UN bureau chief for the New York Times, and Sheera Frenkel, special correspondent in Jerusalem for McClatchy Newspapers, talked about how the Israeli government is reacting both publicly and privately to the events unfolding in Egypt.
As events unfold in Egypt, Israel is paying close attention. As both a Middle East democracy and a country with reason to fear the dissolution of the peace treaty, the outcome of the uprising — no matter how it ends — is likely to have immediate repercussions for Israel.
Sheera Frenkel wrote a recent article referencing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's request that the US support Mubarak at all costs. While that was the Israeli government's position at the beginning of the week, she said, she now believes they have moved toward a more realistic approach and are keeping quiet regarding the protests on Egypt. Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament that Israel needs to respond to any outcome in Egypt by "reinforcing the might of the state of Israel" but Frenkel said she believes was more posturing than policy.
Israel's military is in a state of flux, huge shift happening in terms of the head of military intelligence. I think Netanyahu was seeking to reinforce the Israeli public's sense of security and safety along the border… I think he was really just trying to reassure the public with that statement.
Despite Israel's claim to being the only democracy in the Middle East, Frankel sees other forces playing a powerful role.
It was an aid to Netanyahu who told me that Israel would rather see an evil dictator in the Middle East than a leader that they couldn't predict…I think that Israel often touts itself as the only democracy in the Middle East, but at the same time, it's important for Israel to be seen supporting other democracies, but more so to be seen as enforcing its own security interests in the region.
Neil MacFarquhar said the move by the Palestinian Authority to call for new local elections could be interpreted as a sign that the protest movements are casuing some unease.
I think everybody is unnerved by the protest movements because of the sudden idea that all these police states are suddenly going to have to confront people power. It makes them nervous because they don't have solid credentials to fall back on, so they're all trying to take whatever short-term measures they can that they think will diffuse some of this public anger.
MacFarquhar did not think that either the Palestinian Authority or the Gaza government under Hamas was particularly strengthened by the protests.
I think that the Palestinian electorate, having had a choice in recent years, is probably a little less disenfranchised than the others around the region, but I don't think that the Gaza public exactly loves the rule of Hamas, certainly not all of them, so I think both of them are probably nervous.
While the Palestinian Authority may cede some ground to Hamas in the coming elections, the future is still very uncertain and the outcome of the protests unpredictable.
People are in a surly mood and they want to fix some of the problems that they have been confronted with for a couple generations.
MacFarquhar called it an interesting moment for the Muslim Brotherhood.
They have a lot to gain, obviously, if the Egyptian political process opens up. They're a very conservative bunch, they don't like to stick their head above the parapet before anybody else. The last time Egypt experienced anything close to open elections was 2005, when they won 88 seats in parliament, which was about a fifth. And they didn't do much, they just kind of sat there and they didn't agitate, so they're always a bit of a cipher when it comes to what their political wants are.
However he said it would be a mistake to refer to the Muslim Brotherhood as a monolithic organization, because there are huge generational differences within it, based largely on differing experiences of recriminations by the different generations of members.
In response to a caller's concerns that the dissolution of the Mubarak government could lead to a dissolution of the peace treaty, MacFarquhar expressed skeptisism.
The demonstrations so far have not been about Israel and the peace process. I think the military believes in the peace treaty, and as long as the military is in the driver's seat, that peace treaty is going to be maintained… Israel's strongest insurance policy for securing the region is forming peace with the Palestinians. If there is a strong Palestinian middle class that has a peace treaty and believes in it, then they are going to support it and it doesn't matter what the Egyptians say or the Lebanese say or the Iranians say, the Palestinians are going to say we have a peace treaty and we like it. So [Israel] should try to negotiate an agreement while they have people to talk to.
MacFarquhar said while the White House probably has their hands full trying to figure out the future of the situation in Cairo, the situation in Egypt still might present a good opportunity for the administration to demand that Israelis and Palestinians negotiate with no preconditions.
It would seem that in a period of transition like this, when both the Israelis and the Palestinians are nervous about what's coming next in Cairo, it might be a good time to sit down and do some real hard bargaining, instead of talking past each other like they so often do.
Frenkel disagreed.
It's a nervous time for all the entire region for all of the current governments and given that Egypt is the cornerstone for Israel's peace policy in the entire region, Israel's probably the most nervous of them all, and I don't think it's going to something that's going to be cleared up or resolved on the coming days. I think it's going to be quite a long process.

FCC Frees up 5 GHz Spectrum for Unlicensed Wi-Fi Use
Jason Mick
February 21, 2013 2:25 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New spectrum would boost unlicensed Wi-Fi spectrum by a third
Aiming at Wi-Fi speeds faster than 1 gigabit per second, the
U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) announced plans this week to try to free up 195 MHz of spectrum in the 5 GHz band for unlicensed use. The plan could help to tackle the
nation's spectrum "crisis"
I. Towards Faster Wi-Fi
The plan is somewhat controversial, as it could see commercial users jumping on bands used by the
US Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) and other government agencies. These agencies have advised against the plan.
But FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski
Wi-Fi congestion is a very real and growing problem. Like licensed spectrum, demand for unlicensed spectrum threatens to outpace supply. The core challenge is the dramatically increased use of wireless devices, which require spectrum.
This additional spectrum will increase speeds and alleviate Wi-Fi congestion at major hubs, such as airports, convention centers and large conference gatherings. In addition, this would also increase speed and capacity for Wi-Fi in the home where multiple users and devices are often on the network at the same time. Because the 5GHz band is already used for other purposes by both federal and non-federal users, the effort will require significant consultation with stakeholders to enable non-interfering shared use of the spectrum. But consultation can't be an excuse for inaction or delay.
The new FCC plan would boost unlicense Wi-Fi space by a third.
5 GHz devices currently have access to about 555 MHz. The plan would up their allotment by about a third.
II. Spectrum Sharing, Signal Boosting
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(DARPA) is working on a project to try to resolve spectrum battles between government agencies and corporate users. The program dubbed
Shared Spectrum Access for Radar and Communications
(SSPARC) looks to establish a more codified framework for
spectrum sharing
the research team, "Balancing national security requirements of radars and military networks with the growing bandwidth demands of commercial wireless data networks calls for innovative approaches to managing spectrum access."
The FCC also has filed a formal approval for the use of wireless "booster" devices (
, etc.). Such devices are particularly useful in buildings or tunnels where standard signal towers fail to reach with strong signals. FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn says the approval was made only after careful cooperation with industry leaders.

He comments, "Most of the procedural and technical rules we adopt for consumer signal boosters are based on a Consolidated Proposal, agreed to by several signal booster manufacturers, the four nationwide wireless service providers, and over 90 small, rural, wireless service providers. They are designed to facilitate the development of safe, economical signal boosters, reduce consumer confusion, and encourage innovation in the booster market."
"And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" -- Bill Gates on the Mac ads
