You can't blame Amtrak President Joe Boardman for wanting more attention to the Northeast Corridor from Washington to Boston.
That stretch, which includes New York City's Penn Station as well as a stop in New Rochelle, is Amtrak's busiest.
And it is also stressed. Last fiscal year, ridership along the corridor slipped slightly to just under 11.4 million rides, even as Amtrak set yet another record with an overall ridership of 31.6 million.
That was about one percent higher than the previous fiscal year. (The fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30.)
The Northeast Corridor slipped by .2% largely because of less travel on the flagship Acela service. That dipped by more than 52,000 rides to a total of3,343,143.
Amtrak spokesman Clifford Cole explained that the corridor's performance was hindered by massive disruptions that came with Superstorm Sandy a year ago, and the recent power loss along Metro-North's New Haven Line. Amtrak uses Metro-North tracks from New Rochelle to New Haven.
That explains why Amtrak's regional trains was still able to do more business. It's 8,044,216 ridership for the last fiscal year was more than 40,000 above the previous year.
You can find Amtrak's release on ridership here.

Governor Brown says, "While Washington waffles on immigration, California's forging ahead." He has signed 8 new bills to make life easier for the undocumented. One new perk: driver's licenses. But what about fraud? How will they identify themselves and prove residency? Will their licenses comply with federal law? Will there be an impact on the cost of auto insurance? Plus, we hear a story of an unusual entertainer from Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles who wants to get behind the camera.

Hey guys sorry I have been gone so long. I was doing a year of volunteer service and got super busy and my art kind of took a brake. I have a lot of doodles and small things that I might post soon. I hope to get active again, with my art and on here. But I'm waiting for my room/art studio to be finished and then I will start painting and doing more things like that.
I was at AAC this weekend for a day. It was a lot of fun. The cosplays are amazing I met some cool people and got more ouran drawings signed. *happy squeals*
Plus my very recent boyfriend (still giddy about that) bought me a Zelda heart container necklace and I absolutely love it! he is such a sweetheart.

* TSX down 115.48 points, or 0.75 percent, at 15,215.26 * Eight of the 10 main index sectors decline * Gold-mining shares climb with bullion price By John Tilak TORONTO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Friday and recorded its biggest weekly decline since early May, rattled by uncertainty about U.S. Federal Reserve's interest-rate stance and by fears that Argentina's debt default might signal broader instability. Global markets have tumbled since the default by Argentina earlier this week, with geopolitical tensions exacerbating the negative sentiment. Market volatility has shot up in recent days as a result. Data on Friday showed U.S. employers added fewer jobs than expected in July and the unemployment rate edged up. The market initially viewed that favorably, as a sign that the Fed may not raise rates anytime soon, before investor gloom took hold. "Everyone is a little scared. This is the pullback we've been waiting for. This is it," said Marcus Xu, portfolio manager and president at M.Y. Capital Management Corp in Vancouver. "Selling will breed more selling," he added. "I don't think you want to jump in front of the train, at least not yet." The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index closed down 115.48 points, or 0.75 percent, at 15,215.26. Eight of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red. Financials, the index's most heavily weighted sector, gave back 1.1 percent. Royal Bank of Canada lost 1.4 percent to C$79.37, and Toronto-Dominion Bank declined 0.9 percent to C$56.52. The gold-mining sector jumped 1.4 percent, with the price of bullion gaining after the U.S. jobs report. Barrick Gold Corp added 1 percent to C$19.89, and Goldcorp Inc advanced 1.4 percent to C$30.28. Eldorado Gold Corp jumped 6.9 percent to $8.65, a day after the miner reported quarterly results. Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc's shares, which sold off on Thursday after the company cut its financial forecasts, rebounded a bit. They were up 1.1 percent at C$129.22.

New York (UPI) Jul 9, 2013
A New York zoo this week announced the birth of a southern pudu, a member of an endangered species that also happens to be the world's smallest deer.
The new arrival was born May 3 at the Queens Zoo, the New York Daily News reported. The birth was not made public for more than two months.
"She's adjusting really well," Barbara Russo, a spokeswoman for the Wildlife Conservation Society, said Monday. "She's very cute and still nursing. She will eventually transition to solid foods."
The society operates the zoo, where the new arrival can now be seen by the public in an exhibit with her mother, Josephine, and father, Hamilton. The baby still does not have a name.
The pudu weighed a pound when she was born. She can expect to grow to about 20 pounds and to stand about 12 to 14 inches high at the shoulder.
The southern pudu is one of two species in its genus and is found in Chile and Argentina. Its cousin, the slightly smaller northern pudu, is found in Colombia, Peru and Ecuador.

A send-up of superhero movies which charts the fortunes of a costumed crusader known as The Dragonfly.
Having skewered date movies, horror movies, action movies and epic movies, it was only a matter of time before spoofers targeted the superhero movie. Co-creator David Zucker - the man who inadvertently kicked off the whole sorry mess with the actually funny Airplane! - has focused on the first Spider-Man film, with references to X-Men, Fantastic Four and Batman along the way. Spidey is now 'Dragonfly', his uncle is played by satire mainstay Leslie Nielsen, and the jokes include much passing of gas and walking into inanimate objects. A short running time and brisk pace make it less painful than similar fare, but on the whole this superhero spoof just doesn't fly.
This super-powered spoof just doesn't fly.

University Theme
A Letter from the UTC Co-Chairs
Ecomony: Moral Challenges & Opportunities
Dear WIU Community,
For more than a decade the Western Illinois University theme has brought engaging speakers, programs and events to campus that serve as a springboard for thought-provoking discussions in our classrooms. Over the years, topics have included civility, social justice, civic engagement, cultural diversity, global challenges, environmental sustainability, education, science and technology, and war and peace.
For the 2016-17 year, the theme is "Economy: Moral Challenges & Opportunities." Building on the theme from the previous year, Environment: A Foundation for Social Justice, this theme shifts the focus from the relationship between the environment and social justice to the challenges and opportunities of current economic downturn. While economic indicators show that the economy is on the rebound, not all Americans are benefiting. Joblessness is higher among African American and Hispanic workers than Whites. Countless families have lost their homes and hunger and homelessness are a part of life for too many. While these challenges have economic and financial dimensions, they also have unavoidable human and moral costs.
This year's theme will allow the WIU community to look beyond the economic indicators, stock market gyrations, and political conflicts and focus on the often invisible burdens of ordinary workers and their families, many of whom are hurting, discouraged, and left behind by this economy.
Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the University Theme Committee will not be able to provide financial support for co-sponsorship programs this academic year. However, offices, departments and student organizations are strongly encouraged to establish programs and invite speakers to discuss subjects that tie directly to the 2016-2017 theme.
Suggestions and ideas for future themes are always welcome. Please contact either of us with further questions. We look forward to your participation with the University Theme.

I've never owned an e39 6 cyl...but did own an e34 525iT that I purchased from a seller from the DC/Arlington VA area back in 2004.
I rented a small 6 cyl Chrsyler product to drive there to look at the Touring...it had less than 100 miles on the odometer and the one excellent thing it had was a usable cup holder (Chrysler has that feature covered.
Now, the eastern continental divide through W. Virginia into Maryland is no Sierra Mountains...there were long uphill & downhill grades that had this practically brand new Chrysler thing grunting and groaning like an old man trying to get out of his Barcalounger. Needless to say, I purchased the 95 e34 Touring and the drive back to Indiana was totally different. BMWs ATC (adaptive transmission control) has 9 automatic transmission modes that makes uphill/downhill/curves etc seem like nothing. There was no grunting and groaning and struggling from the 95 525iT like the brand new Chrysler thing I had driven to pick up the Touring.
So although you may be considering the 6 cyl e39 Touring...it will be no slouch on the highway etc..if it's in good mechanical condition. I think you will be pleasantly surprised...and fall under the spell of how effortlessly BMWs handle highway cruising.
BTW, I was cruising like 100 MPH heading east toward Wheeling W Va minding my own business (light traffic initially) and enjoying my new purchase...and all of a sudden a caravan of about 6 black limousines seemed to come out of no where ...and zoomed past me. I was freaking out...because soon after they passed...I started noticing state/county/local police cars stationed along the highway and overpasses. I thought I was in some deep doo doo and was sweating bullets.
As I got closer to the city...I turned the radio on and found out that President Bush was in town for a campaign speech. Crisis averted (and yes, I slowed down).
Best thing to do is to take 'em for a drive...you'll soon know if the e39 is for you or not.

Pity the poor mage, Wanton of <Pants Pirates> on Destromath. While running his blood elf girlfriend, Foxdie, through Maraudon, the couple ended up in one of the least romantic places possible -- inside a crocodile. If you look at this picture close enough, you can see the budding argument in their expressions. Maybe Foxdie should take a look a yesterday's eligible bachelor. (Just kidding -- I'm sure that this run caused no permanent harm to their relationship. Although the Albino Crocscale Boots apparently didn't drop, so there may be a broken mouse or keyboard in there somewhere.)

Ngam suffers new setback
South African pace bowling prospect Mfuneko Ngam's international comeback is on hold following the latest in a series of injury setbacks.
Ngam was included in the squad for the current one-day series against Bangladesh but missed Thursday's opening game after injuring his foot during a provincial game last weekend.
X-rays have revealed a fracture of the second metatarsal bone in his right foot and he is now likely to undergo surgery.
An orthopaedic specialist has recommended that Ngam's lower leg should be immobilised in a cast for six weeks following the operation and he should not resume full training until three months afterwards..
The prognosis has cast doubt on Ngam's participation in next February's Cricket World Cup, which South Africa will host for the first time.
A statement issued by the United Cricket Board said the doctor believed the 21-year-old has "hyper-elastic syndorme" which means the ligaments in his foot do not support the bones properly.
Two years ago Ngam suffered a stress fracture of the third metatarsal bone in the same foot, but recovered to take 11 wickets in three Test appearances during the 2000-01 season.
Known as 'Black Thunder', he is seen as the long-term successor to Allan Donald, the most successful pace bowler in South African Test history.
The selectors have yet to name a replacement for the two remaining games against Bangladesh.

Twinsburg -- School officials hope to be back in session at Bissell Elementary School on Thursday, however crews are still working on an external waterline at the 1811 Glenwood Drive building, as well as on a hydrant line further to the west of the school.
"It is our intention to be back tomorrow," superintendent Kathryn Powers said Jan. 30.
The students and staff at Bissell Elementary School got an extra day off Wednesday when a waterline coming into the school ruptured, affecting water service to Bissell, according to Powers.
Water is currently shut off at the school.
Powers said the after school Latchkey Program has been canceled, as have all other after school activites. All other schools remain in session. Check back at www.twinsburgbulletin.com for more information.

Park lights. Those two innocent words have inflamed passions in El Dorado Hills since the early 1980s, ranking right up there as topics of controversy with "yellow house," "naturally-occurring asbestos" and, more recently, "John Skeel."
The issue played a part in two successive EDHCSD board recalls efforts in the late 1980s, the first of which was responsible for a pair of bleeding ulcers. The latter became the only successful board recall in CSD history.
Those battles generated several anecdotes that live on in CSD lore, including a literal board fight and the fight protagonist later brandishing a gun during a board meeting.
The park lights have always been a "third rail" issue for community services district boards trying to reconcile the needs of sports teams while respecting nearby
Lights can add up to five hours of usable life onto an athletic field every day, and are a simple way to leverage the high cost of parks and their upkeep. Yet El Dorado Hills residents who live near parks have always howled when the topic comes up, even those who knew lights were present or immanent when they moved in, despite advances in outdoor lighting technology that minimize spillover illumination.
Park Village field
Former CSD administrator Velma Gambles recalls that the CSD's first athletic field enjoyed heavy evening use through the 1970s by adult softball leagues each summer, with teams often shining headlights onto the field to finish their games.
When funds became available to light the field, "It never occurred to us that anyone would oppose those lights," said Gambles. "There weren't many houses at the time, nothing west of the school."
But one couple in particular found both noise and lights a nuisance. Gambles agreed to have the electrician come back out to direct the lights away from the distraught family. She armed them with walkie-talkies and put the wife in her yard and the husband on the field. An impatient young man from M&M Electric climbed the pole and awaited orders.
"He'd move the lights down a little and she kept saying 'just a little more' over the radio and I'd shout that up to the kid, who moved them down and down until they couldn't go down any more," she said.
The wife insisted the lights be moved further. Frustrated, the kid put them back up and shouted "How's that?"
The wife, perhaps blinded by staring into the lights so long, or maybe just wanting to get back to Johnny Carson, reported, "That's perfect."
Bass Lake Park
Former District 1 Supervisor Rusty Dupray sponsored a proposed county park at Bass Lake which included lights on the athletic fields. Neighborhood activists favoring a more passive park organized as the Bass Lake Action Committee to oppose the lights and other aspects of the park.
The resulting war of words lasted from 2001 to 2006, when grant money for the park was diverted to the El Dorado Trail.
Promontory Park
In the same time frame, neighbors of the CSD's showcase Promontory Community Park not only opposed proposed lights, but filed a lawsuit to stop them. The district eventually prevailed in 2005, installing the technologically advanced directional lighting, providing much-needed evening availability on the park's athletic fields.
Community Park
Those battles were mere skirmishes compared to the war over the Community Park, which opened over fierce opposition in 1990 with lights on the fields. The lights, and several board members, were casualties but the park survived.
In the mid-1980s a can-do CSD board negotiated for 16 additional acres in addition to the 25 prime acres they were already getting from Stonegate Developer Mike Winn, who asked in return that they build the new park within five years.
Raley's Store Manager Dennis Ferguson was the CSD board president at the time. Sitting at his kitchen table in Ridgeview on a recent afternoon, he recalled how he and fellow board members Paul Richins, Bonnie Byram, Norm Rowett and Ellison Rumsey decided, "We needed the park and it was time to act."
Ferguson estimated the population at the time to be less than 3,000, but Stonegate was building out, due in large part, he insists, to another accomplishment of his board — the recent availability of natural gas that helped offset astronomically high electric rates at the time.
The 1990 census jumped to 6,395 residents, and the headcount went straight up from there: 18,016 residents in 2000 and 42,108 in 2010.
But in 1960 there were only 30,000 people in the whole county when developer Allen Lindsey envisioned El Dorado Hills. He boldly predicted his dream would one day be home to 75,000 residents, all living in self-contained residential villages, with extensive park and recreation amenities, which he planned to finance with bond measures.
Bond approval requires a majority of legal residents in a county-supervised election.
At the CSD's 30th anniversary celebration in 1992, Lindsey explained that his "future city" of El Dorado Hills had exactly zero residents when he bought up the local ranches in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
To get his bonds approved, he moved a couple employees and their spouses into trailers along Silva Valley Road long enough to meet residency requirements, after which he called an election, he said. A bond measure that included $9.5 million for parks and recreation passed seven to zero.
Others present at the 30th anniversary celebration commented that Lindsey's larger accomplishment was convincing leery county officials to buy into his dream.
Bond approval and bond issuance are two different things. Lindsey issued (sold) just $150,000 of those recreation bonds up front, leaving the balance for future use.
Ferguson's board decided to issue $4 million more of them to pay for a 40-acre community park, complete with lights.
In an advisory election — it wasn't strictly required because Lindsey had the bond approved in 1962 — residents gave the park a thumbs up, voting 758 to 592, according to the bond issuance document.
"It was a great deal for the current residents," said Ferguson, because each homeowner's annual bond payment was based on an assessed home value locked in place by Proposition 13. The brunt of park cost would be borne by future residents with higher assessed values.
"My share was $108 the first year and it went down as we grew," he said. "My last payment (in 2008) was $12."
Community meetings at the time included a large architectural rendering of the park, including the lights, he said.
Gambles recalled the meetings as consistently positive, "but somehow we only saw the people who wanted the park," she said. "Once we started the opposition showed up."
Park opponents, led by resident L.G. Lloyd, opposed the spending and fumed that the park was an unnecessary extravagance, according to Ferguson. "L.G. was my nemesis," he said. "But in his defense, he didn't think we were going to grow."
Mr. Lloyd did not return Village Life calls.
The board members were called corrupt, and accused of Brown Act violations. Ferguson, the long-time Raley's store manager and volunteer fireman, received a death threat. Later, he said, "The county grand jury sat in my living room and took testimony but none of it stuck."
Opponents filed a lawsuit, which eventually failed, then attempted a board recall, which needed just 300 votes to succeed but fell 100 votes short, said Ferguson, the round numbers burned into his memory and his stomach lining.
By May 1987, when the bond was issued, both Ferguson and Gambles suffered from bleeding ulcers.
Gambles, a self-described non-manager and "Jill of all trades" had been filling in for retired General Manager Bill McCabe, who left with his own medical problems in 1983.
With the park under construction and the CSD under attack, the then 50-year-old also struggled with recurring dizzy spells, and was later diagnosed with stress-related chronic fatigue syndrome. To make matters worse, Gambles tore both rotator cuffs setting up bleachers, but with the park plans in flux she refused to take time off to get the required surgery.
"She wore the bulls-eye," said Ferguson, who shook his head and said he still feels bad about it.
The new residents of Stonegate got no warning when the park lights were tested for the first time, "broken in" at full power on a dark January night in 1990, said Gambles.
The directional shields hadn't been installed yet, and the "heads" hadn't been aimed away from the homes. Sacramentans reported a glow in the eastward sky that night, according to former General Manager Wayne Lowery, who had to deal with the fallout when he arrived a few months later.
In a 2010 interview Lowery said he immediately had 40 percent of the fixtures removed and made sure the directional shields were installed.
In a variation of Gambles' story from a few years earlier, he spent a long night going from yard to yard in Stonegate. "I had a guy with a cherry picker up there … and stood in their yard with a cell phone talking him though aiming the lights until every homeowner was OK," he recalled.
But it was too late. The November 1990 elections sealed the fate of the lights and the CSD board responsible for Community Park. Ferguson, still recovering from stomach surgery that required 24 units of blood, didn't run again. The other four incumbents were ousted in what Lowery called a "referendum on the lights."
The new board arrived with a 27-point action plan — the removal of the lights at the top of the list. They approved the plan with little discussion in the first board meeting, an apparent violation of the Brown Act.
The new board proved volatile. Director Gary Palmer, a former police officer, allegedly attacked fellow director Bob Verzello during one meeting. CSD lore holds that fisticuffs ensued, but Gambles only remembers a choke-hold.
In another meeting, Gambles recalls Palmer brandishing a gun to make a point.
Verzello and Mike Pettingill filled vacated seats, and served short, two-year terms.
The balance of the board — Palmer, Russell West and Harold Rasmussen — were recalled during their fourth year on the board, according to Gambles, who lives with her husband Glenn in St. Andrews Village.
Ferguson went on to serve several terms on the Fire Board, and became El Dorado Hills' longest running Santa Claus. He lives on Ridgeview Drive with his wife Diane and plays softball two days a week in the summers … double headers, no less.

Contact the Distance Education help desk at email@example.com
Troubleshooting for Moodle Courses:
- Most of the Peralta District's online and hybrid courses use the Moodle learning management system.
- If you are having trouble receiving emails from your instructor through Moodle or receiving posts from forums to which you are subscribed, check your Moodle account email address on your Profile Page. If you are using a personal email address, check your SPAM folder and filter settings.
If you have forgotten your password or username, click on the link "Lost password?" below the Login button on the Moodle homepage and fill in the information requested. This is a two-step process:
- First, do not click the "Lost Password" link more than once when you are trying to recover your password. The system will send you an email with a confirmation link – you must click that link to verify that you requested the password change. Be sure to check in your SPAM folder for these emails if they do not arrive in your Inbox within a couple of minutes.
- Second, the system will then send you both your login username and a temporary password to your email account, so you must go back to your email account to retrieve this information in order to login. When you do login, you will be asked to enter your temporary password and also a new password (enter this twice). So, please keep a record of your new password. The temporary password will not work again after you have saved the new password.
- Contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you still have trouble logging in to Moodle.
There are also many benefits to creating a new email account just for your online courses, including keeping your private or personal email address separate from the public format of a class, keeping track of class work, and using a free email service such Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, or similar public services.
Also, check the Student Help Site on the Moodle webiste – you do not need to login to use it. If you need further assistance, contact the Distance Education help desk at email@example.com.
Where is student training or tutorials about how to access and use the online class?

How to create a basic multivariate test?
A multivariate test creation only differs from an A/B test in the way the variations are created inside the editor. In an A/B test you create completely different variations of the entire page whereas in a multivariate test, you only create variations of each section. You select multiple elements/sections on your website and create variations for all the chosen sections. On a landing page, for example, you may select call to action, ad copy and product screenshot as sections. Now for each of the section, you come up with different variations. All these variations are combined to create unique combinations of your website.
If there are 2 sections, both with 2 variations, there would be 2*2 = 4 combinations. All these combinations are pitted against each other to observe the combination which converts the maximum. During the test, it is then seen which combination results in maximum conversions.
Below is a screenshot of a MVT test being created inside VWO editor with one section selected.
Things to remember while creating a MVT test
1. You can change the xpath of a section as shown in the below screenshot.

Norwin girls bowlers continue roll with regional title
The Norwin girls bowling team ended the 2013-14 regular season with an 8-2 record, but the Knights waited until the postseason began to really get on a roll.
One week after capturing the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Bowling League championship for the first time in school history, Norwin continued its success with a first-place finish at last weekend's WPIBL Western Regional at North Versailles Bowling Center.
The first-place finish out of 18 teams qualified the Knights for the state bowling championship, which will be held Saturday at North Versailles Bowling Center.
"I knew we were the underdogs coming in," sophomore Brooke Lundy said. "People had their doubts, that we just got lucky and we couldn't do it (again). But we proved ourselves really well, and I'm super proud of us."
Norwin led the team competition, which consisted of three regular games in the morning and two sets of Baker games in the afternoon, throughout the entire day.
The Knights saved their strongest performance for the final Baker game, in which the team's five bowlers each shoot two frames. Norwin's five bowlers each rolled strikes in their first frames and then followed with spares in frames six through 10. The resulting score of 228 was the highest of any team in the Baker game portion of Saturday's competition.
"I think it was all adrenaline," Lundy said. "Once the first one started, we knew we were set up pretty well. Seeing the team beside us have a good game, we knew we had to be up there, too. The competition was tight. I thought we were going to bowl a 300 there for a little while, but we kept it a clean game and did the best we could. It was great."
Norwin got contributions from all seven of its bowlers — Jules Goehring, Sarah Kunkle, Brianna Lundy, Brooke Lundy, Dori Miller, Lizzy Pusateri and Jenna Rudolph — throughout the day. Brianna Lundy's 220 in the morning session was the third-highest game of all the bowlers at the tournament, while Brooke Lundy registered the third-highest series in the morning with a 560.
"They all came together as a team," coach Ed Lundy said. "We're still a young team. We only have one senior graduating, so I think Norwin's going to be a force to be reckoned with for at least the next four years."
Brooke Lundy also qualified for the individual state tournament after placing fourth during the individual qualifiers on Friday. Brianna Lundy ended three pins away from qualifying. The individual state championships take place Friday.
"I hope I can do well and represent my team and my family and all of my friends really well," Brooke Lundy said.
Norwin will enter the team portion of the state championships on Saturday. Last season, the Knights finished fifth in their first ever trip to the state tournament.
"The goal (this) week is to represent the western part of the state very well and continue with our success," Ed Lundy said.
Boys finish seventh
The Norwin boys bowling team just missed out on qualifying for the state team championships, finishing seventh at regionals. The top six teams advance to the state tournament.
Norwin finished 30 pins behind sixth-place Gateway with a cumulative score of 3,562. Armstrong won the competition with a score of 3,993.
Jake Bobak led the Knights, bowling a three-game series of 594 in the morning session. Reno Rainey rolled a 543, and Tyler Roberts scored a 527. Stephen Szekely, Noah Turek and Robbie Walter also bowled games for Norwin.

Can Opposing Dispositions be Co-instantiated?
Original Paper
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
- 217 Downloads
Is it possible that one and the same object x has opposing dispositions at the same time? One's first reaction might be that it is evidently impossible. On the assumption that x is incombustible, it seems to follow that it is not combustible. Surprisingly enough, however, it is claimed that there are a number of examples in support of the possibility of simultaneous co-instantiation of opposing dispositions. In this paper, I will bring under scrutiny some of the examples and come to the conclusion that none of them achieve the desired goal. This will give support to the initial intuition that opposing dispositions cannot be co-instantiated by one and the same object at the same time.

Kingdon, Geeta and Aslam, Monazza (2008) Gender and Household Education Expenditure in Pakistan. Applied Economics, 40 (20). pp. 2573-2591. ISSN 0003-6846. DOI UNSPECIFIEDFull text not available from this repository.
|Not from UCL IOE?
Pakistan has very large gender gaps in educational outcomes. One explanation could be that girls receive lower educational expenditure allocations than boys within the household, but this has never convincingly been tested. This article investigates whether the intra-household allocation of educational expenditure in Pakistan favours males over females. It also explores two different explanations for the failure of the extant 'Engel curve' studies to detect gender-differentiated treatment in education even where gender bias is strongly expected. Using individual level data from the latest household survey from Pakistan, we posit two potential channels of gender bias: bias in the decision whether to enrol/keep sons and daughters in school, and bias in the decision of education expenditure conditional on enrolling both sons and daughters in school. In middle and secondary school ages, evidence points to significant pro-male biases in both the enrolment decision as well as the decision of how much to spend conditional on enrolment. However, in the primary school age-group, only the former channel of bias applies. Results suggest that the observed strong gender difference in education expenditure is a within rather than an across household phenomenon.

Sooner or later, liberals will learn to not provoke Liz Cheney on issues of national security.
Those who watch the news for information other than the tragic death (and subsequent funeral circus) of Michael Jackson have most likely heard of the most recent round of accusations made by congressional liberals against the Central Intelligence Agency. On the July 14 "Morning Joe," the former vice president's daughter issued a thrashing of Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, who (one would guess) did not adequately prepare to argue about the laws concerning when the CIA is required to brief Congress.
Robinson first submits the following:
EUGENE ROBINSON, Washington Post columnist: Hi, Liz, how are you? I have a question. I actually have a question for Liz in a minute, but you know, look, it's inconvenient that there is a law, there is a 1947 law that requires that Congress be briefed on significant intelligence operations or activities or anticipated significant intelligent activity, so it seems to be clear that they should have been briefed. And if the Vice President told the CIA not to brief Congress then that was wrong.
That certainly sounds correct, at least on the surface – if that's the law, that's the law.
Except, that's not the law:
LIZ CHENEY: With respect to the law, it's really important to look at the specific language of the law. And the language of the law makes absolutely clear, and this is an issue that the White House and Congress have been fighting over for many years now, and frankly continue to fight over today, which is who has ultimate authority. But the law is clear. The law says that the executive branch can make these decisions about when to brief, and they can make decisions based on concern about whether or not it's going to hurt sources and methods, and whether or not the information is going to be leaked. And I would just point out –
MIKA BRZEZINSKI, "Morning Joe" co-host: Eugene, hold on one second. And Dan is going to chime in.
CHENEY: – and I think it's instructive, if you look at fact that these programs, this plan was kept secret for eight years, and then apparently, as soon as we briefed the Congress, now it's public. I think that tells you why there may have been concern about briefing the Congress.
As it turns out, the law doesn't require the CIA to brief Congress in all cases. And yet, Robinson harangues:
But you can't have absolute discretion in the executive branch not to follow the law. You can't – you can't have that.
That's not at all what is at argument here. The point is, Vice President Cheney did follow the law. Whether or not the law is poorly written is another issue entirely. In fact, Robinson comes back to this idea several times through the conversation:
ROBINSON: here is no point in having a law if the executive branch has complete discretion not to follow the law.
CHENEY: The law gives the executive branch the right to make these decisions.
ROBINSON: But the bottom line is the law is meaningless, the law is absolutely meaningless, if the executive branch can decide in all cases not to brief Congress.
CHENEY: Eugene, you've got to go read the language of the law. Because the law makes absolutely clear when they are concerned about sources and methods they can take that into account when they're making decisions about briefing the Congress.
One can make an argument that the law is poorly written, if the intent is for Congress to provide oversight of the executiv branch.. But to succumb to the Kos-head argument that a.) The law is poorly written, so b.) Cheney necessarily broke the poorly written law, is intellectually dishonest – and at least in this case, didn't work.
This isn't even the only instance of bias Robinson showed in this segment. Another instance of bias is manifested in Robinson's willingness to accept the Democrats' premise, without questioning the manner in which they presented it:
DAN SENOR, fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations: And Eugene, if they were serious questions which I believe is motivating you to be asked, it would not have been handled in the way it was handled. The House Intelligence Committee chairman issued a press release making news about this before he even alerted Republican members of the committee. I mean, this was totally structured like a political rollout. And it's just so unbelievably hypocritical that for years, the Democrats have been demonizing the Bush/Cheney years for politicization of the intelligence community, and they are playing politics, the Democrats now, it seems, with intelligence, too. And I just think, to stew this up right now is dangerous for the reasons Liz said, and politically, an enormous distraction for the administration.
BRZEZINSKI: Eugene, your response?
ROBINSON: I don't see that as a politicalization. I see it as a separation of powers issue, and I see it as a legitimate issue, one we have visited before and will visit again.
So the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence issues a press release manufactured entirely within his caucus, without the knowledge of the Republican ranking member or any other Republican on the committee, with Rep.Eshoo becoming suddenly and inexplicably available for interviews on the subject – and that's not a political maneuver?
Hypothetically speaking, if it were a separation of powers issue, would you not immediately contact the ranking member of your committee and offer him the chance to publicly throw proverbial stones at the President? If this isn't about bashing former Vice President Cheney, why would you exclude every Republican on the committee from the opportunity to help you call for an investigation?
Eugene Robinson engaged in a battle of wits, unarmed. 'Twas lovely to see bias so publicly destroyed.

SharpRomance Destinations: A Taste of Portland, MaineSubmitted by SharpMan Editorial Team on Tuesday 12th October 2010
- Spectacular views and autumn colors.
- Where to buy cool stuff.
- Where to eat.
During the July 4th fireworks celebration of 1866, a young boy unknowingly started a fire, destroying more than half of Portland, Maine before the fire was extinguished. Today cobblestones weave a path past galleries, coffeehouses, antique shops, and restaurants, all housed in historic buildings. Welcome to the heart of the Old Port, Portland, Maine, a small city resting on the edge of a working harbor. If you're looking for a low-key romance destination, consider this SharpRomance gem:
Why Portland, Maine? Sharp Views and Nature Spots
Despite all the local charm, the greatest reason to bring your SharpWoman to Portland is the view of the coast. When the sunlight begins to ebb and the water turns a fire-red, you'll find yourselves in the most romantic of settings. In fact, from the West End to the East End of town, you'll find a number of beautiful spots from which to bask in warm light of a sunrise or watch the vibrant colors of the sunset.
For spectacular views, head over the Million Dollar Bridge into South Portland: stay straight on Broadway and follow the signs for Spring Point Museum. If you get lost, just ask any local. The view will be worth it.
Another beautiful sight is Portland Head Light, the first established beacon light upon the New England coast. Lighted for the first time January 10, 1791, Portland Head sits high above the vast Atlantic sea providing spectators with panoramic views that stretch for miles. Just beyond the shops and restaurants lies Portland's only waterfall, Jewel Falls, on the grounds of the Fore River Sanctuary, (207) 781-2330. This 76-acre preserve owned by the Maine Audubon Society offers 2 1/2 miles of hiking trails. http://www.maineaudubon.org/
Another unique place rests on the East End of the city: 102 steps to the top and you'll be looking out from the last surviving 19th-century signal tower, the Portland Observatory (138 Congress Street (207) 772-5561). The tower offers panoramic views of the city and Atlantic Ocean.
Autumn Leaves
Most people come to Maine in the fall in order to view the changing leaves. This is the time of year when the greenest of trees fade into warm autumn colors. So pack a lunch, bring a sweater and take your SharpWoman for a walk down to Deering Oaks. This 51-acre city park features a beautiful pond full of ducks and swans, fountains, paddleboats and a towering grove of oak trees — perfect for Sharp-style romance.
Every Saturday morning throughout the summer and into November you'll also find a farmer's market offering fresh cut flowers and a variety of Maine produce, including pumpkins and cider. If you're tired of walking or just want to explore, take a ride up the coast along Route 1. It's a beautiful drive
offering ocean views, autumn colors and plenty of restaurants. Don't forget your camera.
A Little Lunch (or Dinner)
Once you've seen your share of leaves, consider a stroll into town for some of the area's finest food and drink. For a genuine taste of Portland, check these out:
147 Cumberland Ave., (207) 772-0360
Offering a funky atmosphere, mismatched chairs, tinfoil ornaments, a little bit of Elvis and a solid menu featuring delicious pizza, shish kabobs and burgers.
The Kitchen
593 Congress Street, (207) 775-0833
A unique little restaurant with walls papered by local artists and other residents. Offers a pleasant atmosphere and huge bite for the money. Don't miss the jerk chicken wraps, vegetarian delights and gyros.
But since you're in Maine, why not go for some fresh lobster?
Lobster Shack
225 Two Lights Rd, (207) 799-1677)
Located just south of Portland in Cape Elizabeth.
Antiques, Galleries and Specialty Shops
Antiques, galleries and specialty shops scatter the Old Port and
surrounding city. Got a hankering for some window-shopping after lunch? Don't miss:
Portland Antiques
223 Commercial Street, (207) 773-7052.
A unique shop offering nautical antiques, 18th and 19th-century furnishings and paintings.
Longfellows Antiques and Used Furniture
648 Congress Street, (207) 828-8699
Specializing in furniture, rugs, pottery, jewelry and toys.
Baxter Gallery of Portland School of Art
619 Congress Street, (207) 775-5152
A photograph and primary gallery housed in a beautiful old building located minutes from the Portland Museum of Art.
Whether you're a music buff, bar fly or just an average Joe,
there's something for every SharpMan when the sun sets in Portland. For a full listing of live events and entertainment in Portland and surrounding towns, check out the Casco Bay Weekly or Portland.com.
Whatever your final destination, we suggest you begin your evening by strolling down Market Street for a sampling of tunes by local street musicians.
Once you've worked up a thirst, consider stopping off for a drink. Hailed as the microbrew capital of the Northeast, Portland's Old Port and downtown areas have a nice selection of breweries and brew pubs featuring live local bands nearly every night of the week.
For beer die-hards with understanding (or beer-pounding) SharpWomen, consider taking a tour of the Shipyard Brewing Company (86 Newbury Street, (207) 761-0807, Geary's, Portland (claiming to be Maine's first micro-brewery) or the Allagash Brewing Co.
To begin your search for your favorite of local brew pubs, sample:
Gritty McDuffs
396 Fore Street, (207) 772-2739
Located in the heart of the Old Port, Gritty McDuffs offers their famous fresh brewed beers along with live entertainment and tasty food.
Stone Coast Brewing Company
(14 York Street, (207) 773-2337)
Although part of a small chain of Maine pubs, this relaxed pub features a good choice of brews, an upstairs dining room and a dance area.
Also check out Sebago Brewing Company and the Seadog Brewing Company.
Romantic Places to Stay
Had enough? Time to hit the hay at one of Portland, Maine's many beautiful, highly romantic inns or bed and breakfast. While there are too many to name here, we suggest beginning your search for the perfect one by reading SharpTravel's How to Pick the Perfect Bed & Breakfast.
Getting There
If you're not sailing in by boat, or a stowaway on a cruise ship, then you'll probably want to drive in (two hours from Boston, Massachusetts) or fly into the Portland International Jetport, (207) 774-7301, located just minutes from the heart of the city. Wanna know how much you'll expect to pay? Check out airfare and car rental rates at SharpMan's travel partner Travelocity for current fall specials.
