English Literature Personal Statement 8
I rediscovered my love of literature in November, running away from UCL. I was miserable; the hardest thing I have yet to do was accepting that History wasn't right, despite loving the experience and rigours of university academics. But I realised what I had been missing: my own imagination. I retain an interest in History but I became convinced that getting a good grade indicated a passion for a subject; in the end, it didn't take me long to realise my mistake.
Therefore it was reading Bulgakov on a train which convinced me that I should have originally chosen English, with Creative Writing or not. My hunger for literature, developed as a child, is growing again; I aim now to extend my breadth of reading around familiar authors and ones I've yet to encounter. Periods like the Gothic movement (for its mix of the strange and horrific with the high emotions of Romanticism) and also Magical Realism (blending miraculous concepts with reality, to create images and worlds which are familiar but oddly surreal) are especially interesting to me. History's impact on literature is also intriguing, with the War Poets and authors, like Solzhenitsyn, influenced by Soviet Russia.
My pursuit of my own writing has also been reinvigorated. As a child I longed to emulate authors I read, and words have never since stopped being fascinating. With any English degree, along with reading deeper into others' works, I wish to strengthen my own literary potential, gaining inspiration and insight from different perspectives, whilst developing my personal interest with the interplay of words. I was happiest at college when a part of a creative writing group; some of us still give criticism to each other even now. The reading required for English also enthralled me; I enjoyed History, but it was Atwood, Morrison and Remarque who I revelled in – the sheer breadth of the reading is what really made me love English. Naturally, History made me analytical and strengthened my essays, whilst the IB's international ethos made me appreciative of different social contexts and issues. I also feel that a compulsory foreign language attuned me to the nuances of language while being invaluable in a world to which international links are forever becoming more prevalent. The great breadth of the IB has of course generally influenced my personal awareness of other facets of study, such as in Biology or Geography, and has provoked an interest in more scientific areas, thus moulding me into a well rounded student. As well as fiction, I love all forms of music (I have played the clarinet for seven years and helped run a music club), swimming, aerobics and photography. Travel has also always been irresistible and I have visited France, Belgium, Iceland and America, as well as locations closer to home. When I complete my degree I am considering teaching English abroad, a plan developed as a voluntary teaching assistant in an adult literacy class. I feel I would be suited to teaching due to my time as a deputy head girl, which grounded my creativity with better organisation and responsibility. I have also cultivated an interest in publishing, though my real dream is to become published in my own right.
English or English with Creative Writing have thus both always hovered in my mind; History would have been right had I not been more inclined to reach for Coelho instead of Skinner. I realise now that I was never meant to be a Historian; the use of words to create metaphors for ideas attracts me more than explaining them plainly, though my time at UCL taught me how to deal with autonomous learning and other vital skills for such a demanding level of education. I miss academia's challenge but simultaneously I long for an imaginative streak to my degree, and thus English as a single degree or with Creative Writing, offering a unique combination of academics and creativity, is undoubtedly the right choice for me.

The public voice of women
I am afraid that I have been a bit preoccupied this week. Many you will know that I was giving a lecture for the LRB last night at the British Museum on "The Public Voice of Women". It was an attempt to think about modern issues of trolling, the Tory front bench (lack of women thereon) and why so many women claim to find they have an "awkward relationship" to the domain of public speech -- while putting it in the context of the western tradition of silencing women, and defining the males of the species as the speakers ("vir bonus dicendi peritus", as the old saying went -- binding manhood, virtue and eloquence into a neat triangle).
OK, you might say, you are "pro" at this game -- why should one lecture be SUCH a big deal? The answer's simple, a few weeks ago BBC4 asked if they could record it.
I can't tell you what a difference that makes! It is bad enough giving a not very good lecture to 300 people -- they look a bit disappointed, you feel a bit embarrassed that you didnt hit the spot, there will be a few critical tweets. But basically you move on, no-one really remembers, it doesnt actually count against you in the long term, because it's off in the ether. The idea of doing a bad lecture that can not only watched by thousands and thousands (until they decide to switch channels) but doesn't actually disappear into the ether in the same way as a mere lecture, is a bit alarming -- or at least much higher stakes.
So I spent days and days on this one (when I should really have been correcting the final proofs of my laughter book -- aaagh), finding the images, trying to get the balance right between Classics and politics and personal comment, having enough funny and enough serious, etc. Literally days...
Whether it worked, you will be able to decide for yourselves, as it will be published in the LRB and on their on-line sit, and it will then be on the tv (and there are some preview quotes here).
But all in all I had good day: hair cut in the afternoon (yes I DO have my hair cut -- at Gary Ingham, if you want to know!); met friends after the lecture -- inc Megan Beech (first time face to face) and a wonderful posse of ex-students. And finally a long dinner.
It was also an interesting day. Part of my talk reflected on the ways that women are often urged to ape male rhetorical techniques to get their points across. The classic example is of course Margaret Thatcher, who was specifically trained to speak lower to gove her high pitch voice more authority. I wanted to question the idea that women had to pretend to be men in order to find a voice. Wasnt that just making them more outsiders, turning them into actors not orators? Shouldn't we think instead about how we might learn to find women's (natural) voices authoritative?
Anyway, throughout the day, one point that came up time and again from the women I met who had been on "communication courses" was that they had all been urged to lower their voices and speak more like blokes. And indeed most who talked to me about it felt that it was in the long term counter productive.
Now who, I wonder, gives these courses?
(PS. Full text of the talk now online here)

If you don't know by now, the Panama Canal is an engineering marvel of a shipping route shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. But more than just innovation, it's also regarded as one of the most scenic cruise routes anyone can ever experience. As you come on board our Panama Canal cruise vacations, your journey will take you from scenic all the way to South America, where steamy beaches, luscious rainforests and passionate tango parlours await you. Be warned, South America is a place of extremes – by that we're referring to the fun you'll have.
Famous as the home of Evita Peron, Buenos Aires is more European than South American in feel. Cobbled streets, charming cafés and cosmopolitan restaurants all give it a unique flair befitting the resilient people who live here. Through good times and hard, Buenos Aires has remained the political, economic and cultural heart of Argentina.
Once home to pirates and slave-traders, Buzios is a beach-lined peninsula jutting out into the sea. Made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 1960s, today its beautiful beaches are frequented by the rich and famous. It's the perfect place to play all day in the sand and surf, then play all night in the clubs and bars.
Cabo Frio got its name - "Cold Cape" - from the low temperature of the sea water there. A unique submarine current brings cold water up from the South Pole to the coast nearby. But the cold water is more than compensated for by the beautiful scenery in this unique beach resort. The beaches have fine white sand shaped into striking dunes.
Once referred to as the "millionaire's sandbox," Cabo San Lucas is Mexico's jewel resort at the very tip of the Baja Peninsula. Its remote location and unspoiled beauty make this a seaside paradise.
Cobbled streets, balconies with blooming bougainvillea, and pastel plazas make Cartagena one of Latin America's most photogenic cities. But it's not just another pretty seaport. Founded in 1533, this Spanish-Colonial city is steeped in history. Its location made it a popular port for plunderers and pirates.
In Copacabana, things heat up when the sun goes down. As we cruise by one of the world's most famous beaches by night, you'll see the lights of this vibrant resort town, with it's dramatic backdrop of Sugarloaf and giant statue of Christ the Redeemer. Listen closely and you're likely to hear some pulsating salsa rhythms as the locals party long into the night.
Fort Lauderdale lies along the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the New River, 25 miles north of Miami. Its warm tropical weather attracts many people throughout the year. For sun-worshippers, the city has six miles of beaches. There are also many recreational waterways with extensive boating facilities, access to every conceivable watersport, a variety of fascinating museums and trendy restaurants, and an array of entertainment venues.
The green, mountainous island of Ilhabela has always held itself slightly apart from the mainland of Brazil. Discovered in 1502 by Américo Vespúcio, the island has served as an outpost against foreign navies, pirates, slavery and smugglers. Later attempts at taming the island for coffee production failed.
If you've spent your life searching for paradise, you'll find it in Ihla Grande. The former inhabitants who made this paradise a home have long abandoned their posts. There has been little colonization since, which has helped to maintain Ilha Grande's charming appeal, sparkling waters, lush rainforests and natural beauty.
Tucked in a hidden bay in southern Bahia sits the colonial seaport of Ilhéus. This charming harbor town has been made famous by the acclaimed author Jorge Amado - it's the setting for the novelist's well-read story Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon. Fall under the spell of the city's history, beauty and intrigue on paper and in person.
Uruguay's capital city and one of the Americas' most important seaports, Montevideo draws travelers from all over the world. Narrow streets and varied architectural styles ranging from colonial to Art Deco reveal this vibrant city's strong Spanish, Portuguese, French and British influences.
The canal is both an engineering marvel and one of the most significant waterways on earth. Stretching 50 miles from Panama City on the Pacific side to Colón on the Atlantic side, it provides passage for over 12,000 ocean-going vessels per year.
For centuries, Guatemala's cobblestone streets, breathtaking landscapes and diverse cultures have welcomed visitors from all over the world, helping to make Guatemala City the widely celebrated jewel of Central America.
This once-sleepy fishing village became a popular resort after The Night of the Iguana was filmed here in 1964. Nestled on the 28-mile curve of Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta has steadfastly held on to its character. Red tile roofs and rows of balconies, spilling over with colorful bougainvillea, still line its cobblestone streets.
This former jet-setter's paradise is in the midst of a renaissance and it's easy to see why. Sure there are the stylish streets with designer shops and discos where you can dance till dawn, but the real draw to this decadent peninsula are its beaches.
Tiny Puntarenas, on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, is situated between the volcanic beaches of the Golfo de Nicoya and some of the country's highest mountain peaks. Within a half-hour's drive from the port, tropical jungles give up their secrets to the casual observer.
Rio is famous for its wild beaches and outrageous Carnival celebrations. But this energetic city offers so much more. It lies between the sea and several fertile green mountains, including Pão d'Açucar (Sugarloaf) Mountain, and Corcovado, home to the famous art-deco statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Northeastern Brazil, where Salvador de Bahia lies, developed as an important center for sugarcane production. You can see the enormous wealth that came from the crop reflected in the grand mansions and gold-lined churches in Pelourinho.
San Diego is California's "first city," with roots dating back to 1796. San Diego's beautiful harbor is a lovely place to stroll and explore. Historic Seaport Village, along the Embarcadero, is filled with fascinating shops and galleries. But if you wish to explore further, San Diego offers a world of excitement.
Home to 17 million people and spanning over 3,000 square miles, São Paulo is the third-largest city in the world. The warm climate and red clay soil surrounding the city are perfect for growing coffee. And with the arrival of the railway in 1867, large-scale cultivation took hold.

Acclaim - Top Secret Interview @ Pro-G
Pro-G is the latest site to discuss Project Top Secret with Dave Perry:
Pro-G: Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us David. Can you give our readers a little background info on what exactly this top secret project is?
David Perry: The idea behind the top secret project was to really expose some of the talent that's out there. It's actually a safe bet for me since I already know it's out there and I keep getting reminded of that anytime I do anything these days. One thing I do is work with colleges to try to help their students get into the game business, and when you see the quality of what they're turning out, it's absolutely stunning - really unbelievable.
The point is, for everything you want in a game, there's someone out there who cares passionately about it.
Pro-G: Like for example...
DP: We have a game in closed beta right now, people testing it, and there's this one guy who doesn't like the balance of these daggers, and there's like 100s of these weapons, and all he cares about are these daggers. He's instant messaging me, e-mailing me, sending private messages, creating polls with other people to back up his comments, and I'm like, dude, I hear you, I get it, but I've got some other things to take care of first. But that's my point. You let these people surface, they're out there, and I think with Top Secret, we're going to reveal that there's a lot of great talent out there. And I know we have this big prize for one person, but I think a bunch of people are going to end up getting good jobs out of this.
Interesting to note the game has been already designed.

Acclaim - Top Secret Article @ BBC
The BBC News has a piece on Dave Perry's Top Secret - his MMO-cum-American-Idol project with Acclaim that will audition ordinary gamers for development positions. The article claims 20,000 people have signed up and here's a snip:
The original goal was to try to develop a title faster than if it was done by professional developers alone, he said.
The project, known as Top Secret, is looking for artists, writers, designers and audio technicians from the ranks of ordinary gamers.
"With 20,000 people signed up we are already the biggest development team in history.
"We will end up with 100,000 people on this team. if 1% is any good, we are good to go."
Hmmm...too many cooks spoil the broth or many hands make light work?

Acclaim - Dave Perry Interview @ FiringSquad
Dave Perry has spoken to FiringSquad about their unusual Top Secret project to develop an MMO by using a talent quest audition:
FiringSquad: Let's talk about the "Top Secret" project. First, this game, unlike some of your other Acclaim projects, is being developed based on your original idea and is starting from scratch. Can you give us any hints at all about your concept for the game?
Dave Perry: Anyone that knows me, knows I've been helping new talent into the business for years. I've tried various ideas along the way to see what I can do. I've spent quite a bit of time at Westwood College with students and with our local IGDA chapter. On my website www.dperry.com I connected a wiki and started inviting developers to post pet projects there, so they could find talent to work with them. So this is really that concept on steroids, instead of just hosting students and gamers, this way we will all work together and make a game. I'll be writing to everyone soon, the goal for the first game is actually just to keep it simple (fun) and get something shipped. Then we can see who did what, and who did well. The winner will get their own MMO and they will be able to invite any of the talent they enjoyed working with to help on their game. (I'm sure a lot of close friendships will be generated.)

Acclaim - Project Top Secret Revealed
Not so much of a secret, is it? Acclaim and David Perry (ex-Shiny) have hit on a bizarre idea for a new MMO, claiming they have a full-funded team waiting for someone to win the position of game director, like some sort of MMOG American Idol. Head here for the Flash-y site and Kotaku has some details courtesy of Acclaim CEO Howard Marks:
Top Secret is like 'The Apprentice' meets 'American Idol' meets 'The Video Game Industry'. We're giving our players a chance to work on an online game that we will actually develop and publish. Our community really loves these games and knows what it takes to make a hit. And it will be a dream come true for one lucky star that shines the most throughout the project.
And more...
Los Angeles (February 23, 2007) - Acclaim Games and video game industry superstar David Perry have partnered to present the ground-breaking "Top Secret" project. In this project, players actually get an opportunity to participate in the entire video game development process from start to finish.
In an unprecedented move for the game industry, these players will be given a chance to have their work featured in a massively multiplayer PC game that will be published by Acclaim and directed by David Perry. Perry will choose a winner from the contributors, and Acclaim will be giving them a breath-taking prize, 'A Video Game Industry Directorship', working on a new fully-funded massively multiplayer online PC game. David Perry will be their Executive Producer to help them as needed on their game, and once they complete their project, they will even earn royalties from the game sales!
"I've always loved the idea that someone, from their bedroom, reveals their passion and talent, then suddenly can have an absolutely stunning career explosion, becoming a famous Game Director with a pre-built fan base. We're going to make it happen!" says David Perry who is a Game Director and Chief Creative Officer for Acclaim Games.
David Perry will be building the new online game from scratch and is offering members of the Acclaim player community a rare opportunity to help him develop this video game in a collaborative effort with some of the industry's best talent. "We will bring in some surprise guests along the way to inspire and mentor the contributors," says Perry.
One lucky winner who shines the most during the development process will be given the top prize. "This is the only chance I know of to jumpstart a directorship career in the video game industry," continues Perry. "Everyone wins. They get to learn how to make professional games, and if they get anything in, they get a real professional credit on their resume." Perry finishes, "But, if they win, well then they get their life changed."
Interestingly, applicants don't need any prior game development experience. In fact, Perry refuses to look at resumes. "We only care about the pure, focused, passionate talent they show up with," he says.

On the Other Side of Cancer
Survivors talk about the challenges of life after cancer
Cancer is something to fight, something to conquer. But what happens when it's gone? What does it leave behind? How does it alter a life? And, perhaps the most unsettling question:
Will it come back?
There are universal challenges for people who have been through cancer treatments and are trying to establish a new normal in their lives. The Cancer Center's Patient & Family Support Services empowers patients to share their experiences so the program can address those issues.
Surviving cancer is not an endpoint; it's a beginning.
Brandy Terwilliger
Age: 28
Hometown: DeWitt, Mich.
Survived: Hodgkin's Disease
Major Concern: Anxiety
Brandy Terwilliger can't stop thinking about cancer. It's hard to get to sleep. It pops into her mind when she gets up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She has broken down and cried at work.
Cancer is gone from Brandy's body, but not from her thoughts.
Since finishing active treatment for Hodgkin's disease, Terwilliger has noticed her mood can change rapidly. She said she feels like few people understand what she's going through.
"I went through radiation and I was OK with that. I thought, 'If there's anything there, they're probably zapping it, so I'm good," she said. "But to go three months without seeing a doctor is a huge deal. I feel like they're my security blanket."
Take Action:
Many patients have similar concerns after treatment. Often, they seek out the U-M PsychOncology Clinic, designed specifically to provide counseling to people coping with cancer -- even after treatment ends. Complementary therapies -- such as guided imagery, art therapy or music therapy-may also help to alleviate anxiety.
"It's very normal for patients to seek help to cope with all that has happened to them," she said. "After treatment, people think they're supposed to be back to normal, and they're not. We can help with that."
Ron McCready
Age: 60
Hometown: Ann Arbor
Survived: Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Major Concern: Fatigue
After Ron McCready finished cancer treatment, one of his goals was to have enough endurance to take the Boy Scout troop he leads to the Straits of Mackinac. It's a week-long trip to an island without electricity. Each day follows the sun's rhythms: It starts before 6 a.m. and finishes after 10 p.m.
After six months of physical therapy and working out at the gym, McCready got his strength back and made the trip.
"I still go to the gym, but I know I don't have anywhere near the stamina I did," McCready said. "The difference between getting tired and getting exhausted is a heartbeat."
Take Action:
Research has shown that exercise, meditation, yoga and spending time in nature can measurably reduce fatigue. McCready worked with a personal trainer to develop a fitness routine. Talk with your health-care team about exercise. Or consider the Cancer Center's yoga class designed especially for people affected by cancer.
AnnaMarie Kish
Age: 48
Hometown: Taylor
Survived: Ovarian Cancer
Major Concern: Family Risk
No one in AnnaMarie Kish's family had ever had cancer. So it's unlikely that her ovarian cancer was inherited. But it doesn't stop her from worrying about her 19-year-old daughter.
"I don't want her to be concerned," Kish said. "But there's still a certain degree of anxiety. Is it going to pop up down the road, and yes, she should've been tested?"
Take Action:
Doctors confirmed that Kish's cancer was unlikely to be genetic. However, genetic counseling is available at the U-M Cancer Center for people with all types of cancer.
James Muir
Age: 67
Hometown: Farmington Hills
Survived: Prostate Cancer
Major Concern: Erectile Dysfunction
James Muir didn't have much doubt that surgery was the right treatment for his prostate cancer. But one of the side effects of surgery is still with him: erectile dysfunction.
"That was a little discouraging," he said. "They're telling me it could be a year or two before that comes back, but there's no guarantee that it will."
Muir and his wife, Janet, are participating in a new U-M Cancer Center Prostate Cancer Survivorship Clinic designed for men who have undergone radical prostatectomy. The clinic provides survivors with strategies to address their needs, including impotence.
Take Action:
Daniela Wittmann, a sex therapist for the U-M Prostate Cancer Survivorship Clinic, said many options exist to help men with erectile dysfunction, including medications and vacuum devices that create erections mechanically. Talking with a sex therapist can help couples make good choices-and address concerns women may be facing, particularly challenges to sexuality related to menopause.
"The goal is to make sure people know everything there is to know about how to maintain intimacy," Wittmann said.
Susan LeClair
Age: 52
Hometown: Dundee
Survived: Breast Cancer
Major Concern: Moving Forward
When Susan LeClair used to get tired, it came on gradually. But now, there's no warning. It can happen in an instant.
"I'm dealing fairly well," LeClair said. "I guess the biggest thing is I'm learning to find that balance. Where do you find that balance where you've completed treatment and you have to move on? I've tried to stay very positive, but it's easy not to."
Take Action:
To help cope with the changes in her life, LeClair has made an effort to get informed and involved. She has read quite a bit about the issues cancer survivors face after treatment. LeClair has also tried to take advantage of what the Cancer Center has to offer. She has taken art therapy classes through the Complementary Therapy program and signed up for quite a few clinical trials.
Darrin Patterson
Age: 34
Hometown: Ypsilanti
Survived: Sarcoma
Major Concern: Changes in Body Function
When Darrin Patterson rolls up his left sleeve, you see the six-inch scar along his wrist and forearm. Just beneath it is the metal plate surgeons used to fuse his wrist in place after removing a tumor.
Patterson is the most positive guy you'll ever meet (and you may have met him-he works at the desk in the infusion waiting room on Level B-1). But every once in a while-say, when he picks up his 2-year-old daughter-the loss of mobility in his hand and wrist bothers him.
"I'm right-handed, which is a blessing, but I used my left hand a lot more than I realized," he said.
Take Action:
By lifting weights, Patterson has helped to increase strength -- and lose 40 pounds. Patterson also credits faith, music and sense of purpose with helping him cope with the change in his life.
"I'm still here in the lives of my family. You only get one life so why would I carry myself in pity?" he said. "It's just something I have to accept. It's humbling, but once I embraced it, I knew it would be something I could use to help someone else."
Sue Sexton
Age: 54
Hometown: Whitehouse, Ohio
Survived: Breast Cancer
Major Concern: Finding Balance
Sue Sexton plans to use this year to find a healthy balance between life and work. To do that, she plans to cut back on commitments.
"I'm trying to take a long view: Is this activity or commitment really something that's going to benefit me or just taking up time I don't need to spend?" she said.
One of thing she may decide to add to her agenda? The American Cancer Society's Making Strides walk.
"I still like to feel like I'm part of the movement," she said.
Take Action:
After treatment, cancer survivors often reorder priorities. Define what's important to you. Think about volunteering for a cancer charity. Consider new experiences to foster emotional growth. The U-M Cancer Center's Complementary Therapy program offers a wide range of opportunity to do just that.
Jennifer Falkey
Age: 35
Hometown: Carleton
Survived: Leukemia
Major Concern: Figuring out how to get her life back on track
Jennifer Falkey thought she was just worn out: She had just received a promotion, was loving living in New York City and had a great social life. But then she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia.
Since moving back to her hometown of Carleton, Mich., and undergoing treatment at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center, Falkey has reordered her priorities. She doesn't think she will return to her former line of work in chemical sales and marketing. She has started to think more about starting a family.
"I don't have any desire to go back to the crazy, stressful things I was doing for something that doesn't give back to other people," Falkey said. "I'm not exactly sure where this is going to take me, but I would love to be in a position where I can give my days to building awareness or fundraising for cures."
Take Action:
Use this time to reevaluate your priorities. Talk with a counselor or a life coach to help sort out what is important to you. Even if you aren't in a position to make a major career shift, consider getting involved in charity work.

The prospect of saving millions by butchering the Moran public-service reform blueprint must have been just too tempting for the government.
On Sunday night Treasurer
Since the opposition had already decided to axe the lot, it was too easy.
A Gillard government would also reduce funding for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and cut $45.5 million worth of overseas diplomatic posts.
The good news is that Labor wants to restore PM&C to a smaller, tighter central co-ordinating department under the traditional cabinet model (pause for public servants across Canberra to cheer).
But while Swan said the Australian Public Service Commission would continue to lead implementation of the blueprint, "primarily within its existing resources", in practice not much can survive.
According to Finance costings, cutting the lot would save $11.3 million from PM&C and $36.4 million from the APSC.
The government, if returned, will remove $10 million from PM&C and $29.5 million from the APSC.
This would leave PM&C $1.3 million and the APSC $6.9 million, all over three years, from the extra money allocated in the budget (some is already spent).
Just where this leaves PM&C secretary
It does illustrate the perils of the Rudd government's unfortunate habit of putting department secretaries in charge of key policy reviews in their own backyards, thus endangering their standing as objective advisers when things go pear-shaped.
If the Coalition wins, expect Moran to depart, perhaps to replace
If the government wins, slashing the blueprint's funding is hardly a vote of confidence in Moran's vision for the Australian Public Service (APS), not even counting PM&C's own loss of $10 million.
The blueprint was seriously flawed in many respects, not least in its patchy analysis, ambit claims and aspirational doctrine.
One former top official likened it witheringly to "two beautifully buttered pieces of bread with no filling".
Like the curate's egg it was, however, good in parts.
The Institute of Public Administration, Australia and the Academy of Social Sciences of Australia held a round table on the blueprint in May. Its proceedings are reported by two former senior public servants, Andrew Podger and Lynne Tacy, in a well-balanced article due to be published soon in Public Administration Today.
"Notwithstanding many differences of view, there was broad support for the general directions set out in the report, particularly the strengthened role of the APSC and the sense of a more unified and outward-looking public service," they concluded.
The report, they said, had addressed many problems identified over recent years such as the loss of policy capacity; a degree of politicisation; weaknesses in implementation; de-skilling after outsourcing and privatisation; insularity and excessive caution.
"It also attempts to address emerging challenges such as better use of new technology, changes in the workforce and increasing expectations," they said.
Some identified gaps and weaknesses debated at the round table had been whether the report was excessively centralising or merely pressing for more "integration"; whether it paid sufficient attention to structures, to complement its focus on people and processes; whether it was sufficiently exciting to gain the enthusiasm of those across the APS who must follow it through over years; and whether it had more than a perfunctory nod from ministers and the political arm of government, and could attract bipartisan support and shared responsibility among politicians and administrators.
Guess we know the answer to the last couple of points now.
The APSC has already made some senior appointments that surely cannot now be sustained, because before the extra funding it was operating under straitened circumstances.
Now, the financial expertise of the Public Service Commissioner, Steve Sedgwick (a former secretary of Finance) will be sorely tested.
The government is also continuing the 1.25 per cent efficiency dividend this year and snaffling $445 million from the Gershon review's IT savings that were to be spent modernising government IT systems.
So, what might survive under Julia Gillard?
The move of responsibility for public service employment matters from Employment to the APSC has already happened and the review of the senior executive service is under way.
Streamlining APS bargaining arrangements must now be under threat, as must the APSC expansion of service-wide training, development and talent management, while the five-yearly agency capability reviews (surely sorely needed after the stimulus program bungles) would presumably have to be funded by departments, possibly over their dead bodies.
What, too, of the APS-wide workforce planning framework; improved recruitment; and a stronger performance framework, including managing under-performers?
Bipartisanship would be required to make amending the Public Service Act worthwhile, including revising the values (which the APSC has begun); giving the commissioner a role in appointing department secretaries (an important reform); articulating secretaries' roles and responsibilities and more.
Then there is the citizens' survey and review of the efficiency dividend, among other reviews and recommendations that seem unlikely now.
What is needed after the election is a new, simple government statement on the APS, whoever wins. But don't hold your breath.

Randy has moved two houses for me. Randy first moved a home in 2002. It was done perfectly!! No complaints. The most recent, July of 2012. PERFECT. I couldnt ask for a more perfect job. Randy has been in the business for 40 years. He learned the trade from his father!!! Anyone can post anything on these things, but i speak the truth. If you want a home moved, contact Mr. Bradshaw he is the best in the area!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Comment
I saw the same signs, BUT
SUBMITTED: Saturday, December 14, 2013POSTED: Saturday, December 14, 2013
I too had this gentleman come look at a house to be moved. He arrived, late, got lost, with two different pairs of slippers on his feet. I too felt that he either had to be high or on "something." However, he did not smell like he was drunk.
I later found out that he was suffering from congestive heart failure, and had to go in and get a pace maker into his chest. Seems the blood had not been flowing. Apparently he has been getting worse over time and no one took the time to get him to a doctor. I have not spoken with him since, but would assume he is much improved.
He is one of the only house mover left in this area of Arkansas and has always had a good reputation.

Hi Bev,
I just signed up about an hour ago for this list. I was hoping it was a
busy one. I am a member of The Ft. Loudon Historical Society here in
Franklin Co., PA. We are the care takers of the land that Matthew Patton
and his family lived on in the 1700's. The patton home is still standing
on this land. We are in the process of redoing the house to make it into
a visitors center. It is a two story log home built in the late 1700's.
Matthew PAtton's first home was destroyed by the indians. Also we are
redoing the British fort that was built on the PAtton land in 1756.
I am gathering information on the Patton family to do up a history on
the house,

One of the founding philosophies of BANG is that dreams do come true and that you should pursue them.
New York City, New York (PRWEB) July 07, 2013
The Level 2 Adults Group Class, "Drumming for Near Beginners," began accepting registrants this week at BANG! The Drum School's website, http://www.bangthedrumschool.com.
"We've been selling out the Absolute Beginners Drumming Class consistently for about three years," said Mark Feldman, a professional drummer and BANG's founder.
"Students have been asking for a follow-up class, and I'm excited to finally be able to offer one. The Level 2 Class, Drumming For Near Beginners, starts on Tuesday August 6th at our studios here in Manhattan."
The story of the school's creation and growth is similar to a fairy tale, but one based on dedication, perseverance and the pursuit of one's dreams, rather than on magic.
In 1987, Feldman, then an up and coming NYC drummer, submitted a 2 minute drum solo on a cassette to Modern Drummer Magazine, the world's largest drumming publication.
Mark's submission was one of almost 1700 entries in the "Neil Peart Drum Set Give Away Contest." Mr. Peart, the legendary drummer from RUSH, was the judge of the drum solo competion, the first one ever to run in Modern Drummer Magazine. As one of the winners, Mark was awarded Neil's massive Slingerland chrome drum kit as a prize. That drum set is the same one that is depicted on the cover of RUSH's first live album, "All The World's A Stage."
Mark stored the famed drum set for many years, but in 2009 he sold it on Ebay to a collector for $25,000.
That money was used to fund the 2009 creation of BANG! The Drum School and it's relocation to 584 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan in July 2012.
Feldman sums it up: "One of the founding philosophies of BANG! is that dreams do come true, and that you should pursue them. It still seems unbelievable to me, but I managed to turn a two minute drum solo into $25K, and that allowed me to start my dream business. Our new class is designed to help beginning drummers get better so that they can follow their dreams as well."

Saddam tells interrogators: ''U.S. dreamed'' about Iraq WMD to have reason for war
U.S. officials said captured Saddam Hussein faces tough interrogations about ongoing attacks against occupation forces, and his regime's banned weapons programs. In the meantime, U.S. officials declined to specify Saddam's whereabouts, saying late Sunday only that he had been moved to a secure location. The Dubai-based Arab TV station Al-Arabiya said he was taken to Qatar, though that could not be confirmed.
Meanwhile, a U.S. intelligence official in Iraq said that Saddam "has not been very cooperative," with interrogators in initial questioning, Time Magazine reported on its website on Monday.
The official said that the former Iraqi president didn't answer any of the initial questions directly and was sometimes less than coherent.
The official said that when asked "How are you?", Saddam answered, "I am sad because my people are in bondage." He also refused a glass of water offered to him, saying, "If I drink water I will have to go to the bathroom and how can I use the bathroom when my people are in bondage."
Interrogators also asked Saddam whether Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. "No, of course not," Saddam answered, according to the official, "the U.S. dreamed them up itself to have a reason to go to war with us."
In arelated development, eight people were killed and 80 wounded in Kirkuk by shots fired in the air during celebrations of the capture, said hospital official Shehab Ahmed, according to The AP.

Tell Power Plants to Clean Up Their Act
Doctors, nurses, and public health officials agree: industrial carbon pollution threatens the health of Americans. Left unchecked, the resulting increase in smog will trigger more episodes of respiratory distress in children and seniors – and cause premature deaths.
That's why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is developing standards that would limit industrial carbon pollution from power plants – and they'll be seeking public comments before taking final action.
These new clean air standards will improve the quality of our air and are a critical step to preventing catastrophic climate change. What's more, these standards will help grow our economy by stimulating innovation in clean energy technologies – creating new jobs and industries here in America.
But the dirty air lobby is spending millions of dollars on TV ads, lawsuits, and political action to stop them. All while many fossil fuel companies are getting billions in government handouts and special tax loopholes.
Help stand up to the dirty air lobby and protect clean air. Please sign this letter to support EPA's critical efforts and we'll deliver it to the EPA.
I strongly support the EPA's efforts to limit industrial carbon pollution from new and existing power plants.
New clean air standards will protect public health, fight climate change, and help our economy by sparking innovation in clean energy technologies.
We must do more to protect human health and the environment from dangerous carbon pollution.

Sufering from severe post-traumatic stress, I've tried any number of natural products as the chemical cocktails handed out by conventional medicine are simply not acceptable to me. After my first dose of 1000mg DLPA, my depression lifted and trauma reactions (flashbacks and hyperviligence) significantly reduced. I've been taking this for a couple months now and there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. It has almost completely reversed my suicidal tendencies which were increasing regularly; they are now practically nonexistent. This product has truly saved my life.
Amazing Product

I have taken serrapeptase for about four months to reduce inflammation from a severe injury. It works incredibly well and, even though I didin't have 'high' blood pressure, it lowered my diastolic twenty points! Source Naturals has the best serrapeptase available in high dosage and the necessary enteric coating for proper assimilation. Go for it!

This is a wonderfully gentle formula to dissolve gall stones and kidney stones. I had experienced a discomfort and congestive sensation in the gall bladder, and after taking this formula for a couple months all discomfort is now gone. I'll continue to take this for another few months to complete the process. I highly recommend all Planetary Formulas!

For years I've been fairly happy with Dr. Bronner's, but figured I'd like a change and ventured into the realm of Nubian Heritage products. I'm delighted to have found this brand. This is truly the best soap I've found, and the soft fragrance is a little bit of heaven. I'm planning on trying many more of these products, at least those without any chemicals included. Manufacturer take note: you have some clean quality products, but some of the chemicals you have chosen to use in body wash and shampoo are not appropriate - time to upgrade and especially lose the parabens and sulfates.
Best Body Butter!!

This is by far the best body butter I've ever used, and it truly smells good enough to eat. It smooths and nourishes the skin, while being well absorbed and not at all "greasy". For the best skin care, I will be using Nubian Heritage products exclusively from now on.
BEST for curly hair

This is an incredible product for post traumatic stress induced anxiety. I have been able to get off all meds by slowly replacing GABA with my regular doses of drugs. It also has helped reduce apatite and I sleep better as well. A true miracle without the toxicity of chemical drugs!

Other Helpful Hints
What exactly is Family Day?
Family Day is a special, fun-filled day sponsored by SUNY Delhi's Student Life Division that has become a much-anticipated tradition at the college. Family Day provides an opportunity for parents, grandparents, and siblings to visit their SUNY Delhi student in their college environment. It's a great opportunity for families to see how their freshman has adapted to college living or to reconnect with their Upperclassman student.
What is there to do during Family Day?
Family Day presents a broad array of activities and things to do both on and off campus in Delhi. There are a wide and diverse variety of activities available throughout the day on campus, as well as the Village of Delhi's annual Harvest Festival and other things to do downtown. There are special activities for little brothers and sisters, opportunities to get a family photo taken, and many other novel and unique events throughout the day.
What type of activities take place during Family Day?
The activities on campus run the entire gamut. You can check out the snake and reptile show, race slot cars, meet the world's most interactive robot, enjoy the hit movie "Monsters U", enjoy a relaxing, horse drawn carriage ride on the upper campus. You can also ride the shuttles to Delhi's Harvest Festival, the antique car show at the Auto Lab, or to visit the Delaware County Historical Association.
Is there anything special for little brothers and sisters to do?
The activities scheduled throughout the day are guaranteed to be fun and appropriate for the entire family. Little brothers and sisters can take in the movie "Monsters U'. ride the Roaming Railroad, enjoy the" Hand's-on Reptile Show", or race a slot car among other events. We're certain that our young visitors will also thoroughly enjoy the Golden Dragon Acrobats and Magicians from China.
How long does Family Day last?
Registration begins at 10 AM, and the events are staggered to take place throughout the day. We have, once again, scheduled the main event to start at 5 PM, in order to accommodate those families who have a long drive to get home after this busy day. For those families who will be staying later, there is a later, wrap-up event, "Think Fast" that begins at 8 PM in the Okun Theatre. There is also a Sunday Brunch served in MacDonald Hall from 10 am – 2 pm available for purchase.
Why do I have to register to attend?
All families are welcome to visit their students on Family Day. However, by registering you are purchasing tickets to the delicious Family Day barbeque dinner and obtaining wristbands for entry into all of the day's events, including the evening show. If you choose not to register, you may enjoy some of the happenings on campus and in the village but you will need to get your meal on your own as tickets will not be sold separately for the barbeque. Also, if you plan to spend the night please also plan to book your accommodation early.
Are there long lines for the attractions?
Certain attractions will require waiting, and others will not. Every effort has been made to stagger the various events, so that our visitors can participate in as many of the Family Day events and attractions as possible. This year, the time period when the various Family Day give-a-ways has been extended, as have the dining hours. In response to many requests, there will once again be a limit of one photograph per family at our multiple photo attractions. This limit was put in effect in order to be fair to all registered families, and assure that all families can get a remembrance to take home with them.
What's included with the barbeque?
Whether you consider it a late lunch or an early dinner, the Family Day barbeque will surely fill you up! Menu details coming soon! (Only one meal is included with each ticket and only SUNY Delhi Students with meal plans may swipe their ID cards at the register.)
What exactly is the Delhi Harvest Festival?
The annual Harvest Festival, which always coincides with SUNY Delhi's Family Day, is a village-wide event featuring vendors, artisans, and craftspeople from the local and surrounding community. They fill the village's historic green and line both sides of Delhi's quaint Main Street.
How can we get downtown or to some of the other events located off campus?
There are free shuttle buses and vans running all day long. They leave from in front of Bush Hall and run a continuous circuit through downtown and to the various other events that take place off campus.
Will the Campus Store be open?
Absolutely! The Barnes and Noble Campus Store, located in Farrell Hall, will be open all day from 10 am – 6 pm for your shopping convenience.
Is there anything to do on Sunday?
You can enjoy a wonderful Sunday brunch served from 10 am – 2 pm in MacDonald Hall. You do not need to make advance reservations. Family members pay at the door.

Premier League: Pepe Mel happy with Nicolas Anelka after West Brom draw 1-1 with Everton
West Brom head coach Pepe Mel was satisfied with Nicolas Anelka's performance in the 1-1 draw with Everton.
Last Updated: 21/01/14 9:02am
The build-up to Mel's first outing at The Hawthorns was overshadowed by property website Zoopla announcing it will end its sponsorship deal with West Brom at the end of the season due to Anelka's 'quenelle' gesture.
The gesture, which Anelka performed after scoring against West Ham last month, has anti-Semitic connotations in France, and is currently being investigated by the Football Association.
Anelka started against Everton before being substituted on 77 minutes and Mel was happy with the former France international's contribution.
"It was very good," Mel told Sky Sports. "He has a good personality. If you work for me, it's very well."
Mel, who was named Steve Clarke's successor earlier this month, also confirmed he is in the market for a new striker following Shane Long's sale to Hull City.
He added: "Shane Long is out. I think the team is very well, but I need one striker more."
Kevin Mirallas had given Everton a first-half lead before Diego Lugano's second-half header earned West Brom a point and Mel was pleased with the start to his reign.
"For me, it was very good," said Mel of his first game. "In the first half, the team was too open, but in the second half we were compact.
"Everton is a team that is very, very strong. Tonight was a difficult match for me and my team, but to have 50 per cent possession of the ball against Everton is very good."

Christmas Tree in Paris
I visited this place about four times two weeks ago! If you saw the review yesterday, then you will note that I tried out a few lenses on this tree too. I think this one is my favorite of the shots…
This amazing Christmas display is in the Galaries Lafayette. Also, on the first floor, you should go have lunch at Angelina… they have amazing hot chocolate. The roof also has another cafe with amazing views of the city.

Moved from Talk:Dana IveyEdit
Um... do we really need an article for someone who only voiced on an audiotape? I thought it was decided that those who worked on non-canon products outside of actual writers and artists wouldn't get their own articles? This info should at least be moved to the "Transformations" article. --From Andoria with Love 18:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- The same goes for Simon Jones, Lynne Thigpen, Lee Wilkof, J.J. Molloy, Daniel Gerroll, and anyone else who are only associated with audiocassette stories. --From Andoria with Love 18:43, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I was wondering the same thing myself. They 1. have no connection to canon material, 2. haven't even contributed a whole lot to non-canon material, and 3. don't seem to even have much (if any) background material to even be of peripheral interest (subjective, I know). -- Renegade54 21:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

John dominates with ground game
Tigers lefty allows two hits over career-high eight innings
By Brandon Simes / Special to MLB.com | June 10, 2013 8:31 PM ET
When Oklahoma head coach Sunny Galloway saw Tigers prospect Jordan John pitch in his college days as a Sooner, he gave the young lefty some valuable advice.
"He said, 'Hey, you're going to get hit, but if they're going to hit it, they're going to hit it on the ground,'" John said.
John (5-3) gave up two hits, induced 15 groundouts, and struck out five over eight innings Monday night to earn the victory in Class A West Michigan's 1-0 shutout of visiting Lansing.
The win continued a hot streak for the 22-year-old lefty, who was recognized as the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week last week and sports an 0.91 ERA over 29 2/3 innings during his last five starts. John didn't issue any walks in the longest outing of his career, lowering his ERA to 2.85 on the season.
John retired the first 10 batters he saw before Dalton Pompey beat out an infield single with one out in the top of the fourth.
"It was a fastball. I dropped my arm slot -- I never drop my arm slot -- and I tried to get fancy with it," John said. "It ended up running back up over the middle, [second baseman] Devon Travis made a great play and it was a bang-bang call.
"It was one of those things where it happens. I'm not used to throwing shutouts or anything like that anymore, I knew I was going to give up hits," he added.
The only other baserunner John allowed was Gustavo Pierre, who singled in the eighth. Pierre made his way to third -- the only Lugnut to do so all night -- via a stolen base and a groundout, but was stranded when Aaron Munoz grounded out to short.
All-Star closer Jose Valdez worked his way in and out of trouble in the ninth for his 13th save. Valdez walked two to put the tying run in scoring position, but struck out Kevin Patterson with a 97-mph fastball to end the threat.
The only run of the game came in the fifth. Jason King and Bennett Pickar singled to start the frame. A passed ball advanced the runners to advance and Jake Stewart plated King with a ground ball to second.
Javier Avendano (4-4) took the hard-luck loss after allowing the unearned run on five hits in seven innings. He struck out four and didn't issue any walks.
Meanwhile, John used his fastball inside and the changeup away to keep batters off balance.
"I was able to work in and away at the knees and get ahead of hitters and then throw changeups and sliders in the dirt for strikeout pitches. [I threw] the changeup a lot to right-handed hitters and got a lot of ground-ball outs," he said.
The former sixth-round pick has over a 4:1 ground-ball/fly-ball out ratio.
"I locate down. I don't throw really hard, I'm not a power pitcher. I'm not going to blow it by anyone," said John, who throws in the upper 80s. "I'm able to spot up and locate, get ahead, and get them to swing at the pitches I want them to swing at."
Unlike in his college days when he was more superstitious and less serious about his diet, John will attempt to keep his hot streak going with dedication in the weight room.
"At Oklahoma, I used to drink a Dr. Pepper and eat a bag of Flamin' Hot Limon Cheetos before every game, or a Big Red if we played on the road," John said. "Up here with the grind that we play every single day, it's maintaining a healthy diet and drinking a lot of water, getting your lifting in away from the field. I'm fortunate to have a great training staff helping me stay in pristine shape so that I can be consistent."

Drawing Power is the amount of Working Capital funds the borrower is allowed to draw from the Working Capital limit alloted to him. Because the working capital limit is usually alloted to a borrower against security of Stock and Book Debts, the amount of funds a borrower is allowed to draw is calculated by considering the total value of Stock plus total value of Book Debts for the month after deducting the margin. Margin is the component of funds raised from long term sources such as Share Capital and Term Finance (Long Term Loans). It is for this purpose that the borrower must regularly submit Stock and Book Debts Statement and Statement of Trade Creditors.
Working Capital funds are a kind of Short Term Finance mostly used to purchase Raw Material. Trade Creditors (Sundry Creditors ) are those from whom the company purchases raw material on credit basis. Thus, in a way Trade Creditors also finance the borrower's stock and hence the stock purchased under credit being unpaid stock, cannot be provided as security to Bank. Hence total amount of trade credit received by a company in a month must also be deducted from total stock value to find out the actual value of stock available to the Bank as security.
An example will clarify the above theory.
Suppose the Stock Position of a Company 'X' as on 31.03.2010 is as follows(Rs in lacs) :
1. Total Value of Stock(S) : 35.00
2. Total Value of Trade Creditors(C) : 10.00
3. Total Value of Debtors(D) : 25.00
Margin is 25% on Stock and 40% on Book Debts
Calculation of Drawing Power :
DP = (S-C)*0.75+D*0.60 = (35-10)*0.75+25*0.60 = 33.75 lacs
What is Margin ?
Margin is the promoter's contribution or borrower's own funds. Margin can also mean contribution from other long term sources.

Shell chief financial officer Simon Henry said last week Shell had held exploratory talks with its three competitors in Queensland about potentially diverting some of its reserves into other LNG facilities.
Origin chief executive
"I think it's quite reasonable to say that the Origin Energy Australia Pacific LNG project would be quite happy to have that [supply] conversation with anybody, quite frankly," Mr King said yesterday.
"The industry in my view still has to deal with the deliverability ramp-up in the period through 2014 to 2016 so I think there will be further opportunities as each of the projects begins to ramp up into their full production."
Projects under construction in Gladstone include the QGC project, owned by Britain's BG Group, worth $20 billion, Santos's $16 billion Gladstone LNG development, and the Origin Energy/ConocoPhillips $14 billion APLNG facility. Shell and PetroChina have also laid out plans for a fourth venture in the Queensland port town.
Origin's deal with the
Origin has an option to call back 1.825 PJ of gas a year into its portfolio during periods of high east coast gas or electricity market demand.
The move is likely to reignite concerns of local industry for a proportion of gas to be reserved for the manufacturing sector. Origin said it was pleased to be able to monetise its fuel in line with higher international oil-linked pricing but there was plenty of gas available for domestic consumers.
"Are we effectively going to end up exporting so much gas that there is not enough available for our domestic needs?" Mr King said.
"The answer to that is absolutely not. There's no reason why gas is not available for people who want to buy domestically and we're happy to have that conversation with anybody."
The Australian Financial Review
