Electric housewares maker Salton, Inc. announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 52.6 percent ownership interest in Amalgamated Appliance Holdings Limited (AMAP) to a group of investors led by Interactive Capital (Proprietary) Limited.
Salton said it expects to receive net of expenses proceeds of approximately U.S. $80 million in connection with the transaction. The closing is expected to occur in September 2005.
"The successful debt exchange offer we announced has allowed us to pursue initiatives, such as the sale of our ownership interest in AMAP, to increase our financial flexibility," said Leonhard Dreimann, chief executive officer of Salton.
"We will continue to aggressively explore other ways to improve our liquidity. While AMAP has been a great investment for Salton and continues to be a leading distributor and marketer of small appliances and other products in South Africa, the sale of our ownership interest will not end our relationship," Dreimann said. "We expect to continue to work closely with AMAP, which will continue to license and sell our George Foreman®, Russel Hobbs® and Carmen® branded products in South Africa."
In other news, Salton announced it has commenced production of the George Foreman® "G5" Next Grilleration. The grill, which is scheduled to be on retailers' shelves in October 2005, features five interchangeable plates. In addition to grilling, the G5 can be used as a griddle, for baking and making waffles. Suggested retail price is U.S. $129.99.
The grill features an 84-square-inch cooking surface with removable plates for cleaning. The grill has a variable temperature control and a tilt control knob that permits cooking flat on a counter top or for grilling at an angle.

Qatar plans Harrods hotels in Malaysia, Paris
DOHA/KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Qatar's sovereign wealth fund plans to take the Harrods brand global to cities such as Paris and New York, and will start by building a luxury hotel named after the upmarket London department store in Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur.
Qatar Holding has signed an agreement with Malaysian partner Jerantas Sdn Bhd to build a hotel in Kuala Lumpur's Bukit Bintang shopping district. A hotel management company will be established to develop similar projects around the world, Qatar Holding said in a statement.
"The target plan is to open Harrods hotels at sites in key cities such as Kuala Lumpur, New York and Paris as well as in China. Preference will be given to construct on sites already owned by Qatar Holding or its affiliates, for example at Chelsea Barracks in London or Costa Smeralda in Sardinia," it said.
"Qatar Holding ultimately intends to grow Harrods into a global enterprise that defines the luxury retail and leisure sectors."
Qatar Holding vice chairman Hussain Ali al-Abdulla told reporters in Kuala Lumpur the Malaysian locality had been chosen because its "economy is growing."
Construction will start in a year on the 5.5-acre (2.2 hectare) site in Kuala Lumpur, with about 2 billion ringgit to be spent on the development, which will comprise as many as 300 hotel rooms, apartments and retail space, he said.
Qatar Holding bought the famous London department store in 2010 from Egyptian-born businessman Mohamed al-Fayed in a deal reported to be worth around 1.5 billion pounds. The sale brought to an end 25 years of ownership by Fayed, who became its honorary chairman.
Fayed, who also owns English soccer club Fulham, bought Harrods in 1985 for about 615 million pounds at a time when the group also owned the House of Fraser department store chain, which was later spun off.
A colourful figure, he waged a long campaign claiming his son Dodi and Princess Diana, who died together in a Paris car crash in 1997, were murdered in a conspiracy.
Qatar's sovereign wealth fund has been the region's most active in recent years, deploying the Gulf nation's plentiful natural gas riches in assets ranging from German sports car maker Porsche (PSHG_p.DE) to British bank Barclays (BARC.L).

The Coming Obamacare Backlash
It's worth remembering that President Obama decided not to let his new Obamacare scheme take effect until 2014. At the time of its passage in 2010, it seemed politically wise to delay its implementation. Republicans won the election of 2010 and lost that of 2012. But the full impact of the new law will begin to become apparent in 2014 and the effect will be horrific, deeply damaging the Obama Administration and the Democrats who backed it.
The main brunt of the impact will be on premiums for health insurance coverage. They will skyrocket in very short order. The Heritage Foundation estimates the increases by state. Here's a sample of how much higher premiums will rise:
–California: 42-69 percent
–Florida: 61 percent
–Georgia: 61-100 percent
–Illinois: 61 percent
–Michigan: 35-63 percent
–New Jersey: 39 percent
–North Carolina: 61 percent
–Ohio: 55-106 percent
–Pennsylvania: 39 percent
–Texas: 35-63 percent
–Virginia: 75-82 percent
Why such draconian increases? Heritage ascribes it to two provisions of the new law.
The first restricts health insurers from charging any one age group more than three times the premium it charges any other one. This 3:1 ratio (typically between the older, non-Medicare portion of their covered population and the young group) is the brainchild of the social planners. The actual figure is about 5:1 — it costs about five times as much to insure older patients than younger ones. Since, obviously, companies are not going to cut the premiums for the older patients, they will increase them for the younger ones so they can meet the 3:1 ratio. This is a big increase for younger families.
The second provision that pushes up premiums is the tendency of the new law to kill its customers with kindness by requiring all manner of illnesses and treatments to be covered, and covered generously. Mental health, dental care and more are all required in any policy. And the law restricts any effort by insurance companies to limit the utilization of these services. So the premiums will rise for everybody.
The result of this premium inflation will be that more and more employers will refuse to continue to cover their workers and will find it far cheaper to pay the penalties in the law than to underwrite the vastly more expensive policies. Tens of millions of Americans will lose their insurance and have to buy coverage from the insurance exchanges Obama is creating — at a multiple of their current premiums. The Obamacare subsidies are limited and will not begin to make up for the increased costs. And, to make matters worse, employers will be obliged to pay a 65-dollar annual tax per employee to subsidize catastrophic coverage for the most expensive patients.
Obama's real goal, of course, is to destroy employment-related insurance and force everyone into the insurance exchanges. This will lay the basis for a single payer, government funded, socialized medicine in the United States: His stated goal.
The political consequences of these premium increases are going to be horrific. Voters will realize how fraudulent Obama was in predicting average premium cuts of $2500 per family. And the full dimensions of this misguided law will become apparent.
The result will be a gradual and continuing erosion of Obama's favorability until he gets his clock cleaned in the 2014 election. Normally, of course, sixth-year elections are a total wipeout for the incumbent party. FDR lost a hundred seats in the House in 1938. Truman lost control of Congress in 1946. Eisenhower lost more than a dozen Senate seats in 1958. Nixon/Ford suffered massive losses in 1974. Reagan lost the Senate in 1988 as did Bush in 2006. Only Clinton, with Republicans self-destructing over impeachment, avoided severe losses. Obama will fall victim to the general trend, but his losses will increase as the economy fails to recover and health insurance becomes unaffordable.

Rock of Ages comes back to Toronto
The wild 1980s musical Rock of Ages returns to Toronto in March for a limited run.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Dig out your spandex and shoulder pads: Rock of Ages is heading back to Toronto.
The wild musical — set in the big hair and leg warmer days of the 1980s — played an extended run at The Royal Alexandra Theatre in 2010, earning rave reviews and the coveted Dora Awards People's Choice Award.
This time, it's returning just for a limited run, from March 19 to 24 at The Sony Centre for Performing Arts.
The score features 28 classic rock jams including Journey's Don't Stop Believing, Whitesnakes's Here I GoAgain, Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive, REO Speedwagon's Can't Fight this Feeling as well as hits from Twisted Sister, Poison, Styx, Night Ranger and many more.
The music is hung on the story of a small-town girl (living in a lonely world, of course) who meets the proverbial big-city dreamer, a member of a "legendary" rock band on L.A.'s Sunset Strip.
The review has five Tony Awards under its studded belt with productions in Australia, London, South Korea and Las Vegas.
Tickets go on sale Dec. 1 and can be purchased at the Sony Centre box office, by calling 1-855-872-7669 or online at www.sonycentre.ca.

Team Fortress 2 player numbers spike after going free-to-play
After Valve relaunching Team Fortress 2 as a free-to-play title it has rocketed to the top of Steam's most played games.
Team Fortress 2 has supplanted the usual number-one played title Counter-Strike as the most played game on Steam with the number of players spiking by almost 30,000 from around 70,000 on Friday to 97,917 today.
Valve made the bold move to make TF2 free-to-play last week moving it to a microtransaction funding model for players to pick up extra gear for their favourite class of character.
"The more players, the more available servers in your area, the wider variety of other players you'll find, the greater the opportunity for new experiences, and so on," explained Valve's Robin Walker of their new multiplayer strategy.

2001 Jaguar S-Type Problems
The plastic coolant reservoir is prone to leak. The reservoir can mysteriously lose coolant or coolant may pool under the engine compartment. If this occurs, the coolant reservoir should be inspected for cracks. If leaks are neglected, the reservoir may fail and cause the engine to overheat.
Premature automatic transmission failure is common. Diagnoses of the fault will be necessary to determine if repair or replacement is the proper repair.
Ignition coil failure may cause the engine to run poorly. The fault can be intermittent and may or may not illuminate the Check Engine Light.

2001 Jaguar S-Type Reviews
Beautiful looking Car and great looking interior with a really impressive motor - thats where it ends. Cheap bushing that doesn't last and cheap bits such as the expansion tank which is prone to cracking causing the engine to overheat.

Originally written on Rockies Review | Last updated 10/16/14
Drew Pomeranz is a bright spot in the Rockies 2nd half.Every bit of criticism that the Colorado Rockies have received has been well deserved. It is extremely difficult to find any positives in this horrible season. In fact, the truth is, the Rockies probably deserve even more criticism than what blogs, newspaper articles, and local radio shows have thrown their way.This is a terrible team. It isn't just the players on the field. It is a top-to-bottom failure. From ownership to the scouting department to the players on the field, this franchise has been terrible.The good news is, however, the worst is behind the 2012 Rockies.Most people think that is a crazy statement. Most who follow the club know that the trend suggests that the team that is on pace to lose 100 games for the first time in franchise history is only going to get worse as the season goes on.However, that might not be the case. In all of the losing, the talent on this team is starting to surface. Instead of pitcher...

HOPE for Autism Profile
HOPE for Autism was founded by a group of Mums who saw a gap in available services for their children and started a support group in the late 90s. In 2002 they became a registered charity SC 033312.
We provide support and services for children and young people affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families who live in North Lanarkshire. This includes support group meetings for families and activity groups for the children and young people.
HOPE for Autism offers services to over 150 families affected by (ASD) over 6 days a week, including evening groups for the children and young people (C&YP) and services for their carers such as one-to-one and group support, free training, social nights and parents' group meetings.
As our C&YP often do not have access to mainstream activities within their local community. They are at risk of isolation because they have tried mainstream activities and failed. Sometimes because of behaviour issues they are not even allowed to attend mainstream activities.
HOPE reduces the risk of isolation by providing a safe controlled environment as a first stage in a pathway moving towards integration in mainstream / local community.
The safe, controlled environment we provide allows the children to learn to deal with the challenges they face successfully which in turn increases their confidence and leads to better family relationships.

Since the beginning of the year, Starwood Hotels & Resorts has made the marketing of Le Meridien the responsibility of the same team that markets Westin. Previously Le Meridien's marketing had been the responsibility of the W marketing team..One reason: Le Meridien's business model is closer to Westin than to W's, said George Fleck, vice president of global brand management for Le Meridien and Westin. Starwood positions Le Meridien and Westin as upper-upscale brands. W is one of Starwood's luxury brands.W has 43 hotels, and Westin has more than 200. Le Meridien now has 100 hotels, and is adding more around the world, with 10 opening this year.When Starwood acquired Le Meridien in 2005, the brand had 120 hotels. Starwood reduced that by about 45 hotels because they were not consistent with the brand. Since then, Le Meridien has added hotels that are either newbuilds or renovations. "Le Meridien could be a 200-hotel brand," said Fleck. Right now, Le Meridien has just 13 hotels in the U.S., but Fleck sees opportunity for expansion in both North and South America.Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter opened in February; the property was once a W hotel. Le Meridien Arlington (Va.) opened last year in the former Hotel Palomar.Le Meridien Chicago-Oakbrook Center is scheduled to open in January 2014, in a building that was home to a Renaissance hotel that closed in 2011.Other hotel openings are scheduled for Bali; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam; Cairo; Zhengzhou and Qingdao, China; Dhaka, Bangladesh; and Mahabaleshwar, India.Follow Kate Rice on Twitter @krtravelweekly.
Correction: W has 43 hotels, not 34 as previously reported.

Sonia Gandhi meets gang-rape victim's family, cries
New Delhi, Feb 2 (IANS) Congress president Sonia Gandhi hugged the mother of the dead gang-raped victim several times and both women cried, as the UPA chairperson Saturday evening went to "share the sorrow" of the family of the 23-year-old woman whose brutal rape led to nationwide outrage.
Sonia Gandhi along with her son, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, and some MPs went to the victim's house in south west Delhi and were there for an hour, from 6 p.m. onwards. The visit came on a day a city court framed charges against five of the six rapists.
"Sonia Gandhi and the woman's mother held hands, and both hugged several times and cried," a source who was present at the meeting told IANS.
"There was no agenda to Sonia Gandhi meeting the family.. they just went to express solidarity with the parents of the young woman," the source added.
"Sonia Gandhi told them she had wanted to meet them earlier, and assured that justice will be done."
This was the first formal meeting between the United Progressive Alliance chairperson and the woman's family. Sonia Gandhi along with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had gone to receive the body of the trainee physiotherapist when it arrived from Singapore Dec 30 early morning.
The Gandhis shared tea with the family, which was served by the victim's mother, the source added.
Rahul Gandhi sat next to the father and her two younger brothers and discussed the case with them. "He shared his feelings about the incident with them," the source said.
The victim's family remarked that the Gandhis too had gone through loss in life, the source said. Sonia Gandhi's mother-in-law, former prime minister Indira Gandhi, and her husband former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, were assassinated.
The mother told Sonia about what all her daughter had gone through - from the Dec 16 gang-rape on a bus, to her long battle with life in Safdarjang Hospital for 13 days, and then in a Singapore hospital where she died of multi-organ failure on Dec 29.
Both sides also discussed the mass outrage over the gang-rape and death, and the victim's family voiced their sadness over the protest violence and the death of a Delhi Police constable, the source said.
"The parents wished Rahul Gandhi on his becoming the Congress vice president," the source added.
The trainee physiotherapist was brutally gang-raped on a moving bus on Dec 16 night and she and her male friend were thrown off the bus after an hour, bloodied and naked. The case led to nationwide outrage and demand for strengthening anti-rape laws.
The government has passed an ordinance strengthening laws against sexual harrassment.

Iowa man who killed 7—including his girlfriend and her 5 children—commits suicide in prison
- Adam Moss, 35, was found hanging with a bed sheet around his neck tied to wall vent in his cell Wednesday
- In 2001 he beat his girlfriend, Leticia Aguilar, 31, and her five children, aged 6 to 12, to death with a hammer
- Moss also beat his former employer, Ronald Fish, 38, and slit his throat
- 'It is the end of the chapter for the Fish family' said Fish's sister
An Iowa man serving several life sentences in the 2001 slayings of his girlfriend, her five children and a former employer committed suicide in his prison cell.
Adam Moss, 35, was found unresponsive and hanging with a bed sheet around his neck tied to a wall vent in his cell Wednesday afternoon at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison, according to the Iowa Department of Corrections. He had been confined to a mental health unit.
'It is the end of the chapter for the Fish family,' said Sarilye Atlas, whose brother Ronald Fish was killed by Moss in August 2001, according to the Sioux City Journal.
Dead: Adam Moss, 35, was found dead in his cell 12 years after he pleaded guilty to seven murders in Iowa
Tragic: In October 2001, Moss pleaded guilty to killing his girlfriend's five children, aged six to 12, two months earlier
Funeral: Along with her children, Leticia Aguilar, 31, was killed by Moss, her boyfriend
When authorities found Moss, medical personnel immediately detached the bed sheet and determined he was dead, corrections spokesman Fred Scaletta said, according to The Des Moines Register.
The Lee County Medical Examiner said the cause of death was asphyxia due to suffocation. Scaletta said the death is under investigation.
Moss pleaded guilty in Sioux City in October 2001 to seven counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of his girlfriend, Leticia Aguilar, 31, her five children, and Fish, 58, who he had worked for at some point.
Too young: Claudia Saldana, 12, left, and her brother Zacarias Saldana, 11, right, were murdered with their mother and siblings on August 30, 2001
Unspeakable: Larry Saldana, 9, left, and Lisa Saldana, 6, right, were both beaten to death with a hammer by Moss, along with the rest of their family
Horror: A babysitter found Michael Aguilar, 6, left, and his mother Leticia Aguilar, 31, right, after Moss had beaten them and the rest of the family to death
Aguilar's children—Claudia Saldana, Zacarias Saldana, Larry Saldana, Lisa Saldana, and Michael Aguilar—were between the ages of six and 12.
Police said Moss beat all seven victims to death with a hammer and slit Aguilar's throat.
Retired Sioux City police Chief Joe Frisbie told the Journal the spree was 'the most heinous crime I've ever seen in the history of Sioux City, and probably the state of Iowa'.
Police captured Moss a day after the bodies were discovered following a manhunt. He was later sentenced to seven consecutive life terms with no chance of parole.
Heinous: After beating Ronald Fish, 38, left, to death with a hammer, Moss, right, also slit his throat
The bodies of Aguilar and her children were discovered by Donna Stabile, their babysitter. The Journal reported Stabile almost cried when she heard about Moss' suicide. She also said she was sad for his family's sake.
'When I think of the children and their momma, I think of the good and happy times, and don't let myself go to the tragedy,' she told the Journal. 'They are in heaven, and that's a sure thing.'
Frisbie, the retired police chief, also told the Journal he felt for Moss' family.
Prison: Moss died of asphyxia due to suffocation in his cell in the Iowa State Penitentiary and Clinical Care Unit in Fort Dodge, where he was serving multiple life sentences
'I don't know anybody that wants to spend the rest of their life in prison, but the other side is that most people value life enough to where they probably wouldn't take their own,' he said. 'He certainly didn't value the lives of that family.'
Stabile said she's forgiven Moss for his crimes.
'For my own sake,' she told the Journal. 'I can't carry bitterness and hatred in my heart.'
Iowa does not have the death penalty, and Register reported that the killings renewed debate on whether to bring it back.

Avi Buffalo
After a promising debut album in 2010, psychedelic folk rockers Avi Buffalo all but disappeared. Band leader Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg talks about skipping college, isolation, and the long wait for his upcoming second record, At Best Cuckold.
By Jeremy Gordon , July 16, 2014

Avi Buffalo: "So What" (via SoundCloud)
Twenty-three-year-old Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg could have been a relic of indie rock's past. In 2010, he and his band Avi Buffalo were barely out of high school when Sub Pop released their self-titled debut album, which was warmly regarded for its frisky take on AM radio rock. But instead of quickly taking advantage of their good fortune, burgeoning talents, and climbing momentum, Zahner-Isenberg and the band went silent for four years. "I've known a lot of people that rush into making album after album after any kind of exposure," he says when we speak on the phone. "But I come from more of a musician background"—as a young teenager he took guitar lessons from an older bluesman—"and that makes me think you have to put a lot of time in in order to become good at performing or writing."
Though his reasoning for the long layoff is sound, four years is a cultural lifetime, and the indie zeitgeist was turning away from guitar-in-hand, heart-on-sleeve songwriters even before Bon Iver was lampooned on "Saturday Night Live" in 2012. So when Avi Buffalo emerged from hibernation in June with a new single called "So What", it triggered a minor tinge of nostalgia: This band, in this year? But the song was a sweet surprise, as is their forthcoming album, At Best Cuckold, which infuses a dreamy 1960s rock sound with youthful ambition, evoking the past with a touch of dread. Nimble guitar solos flower from the mix and forlorn piano lines tug heartstrings while Zahner-Isenberg's tender, breathy voice describes a world of demure emotions and generational anxieties. "Once again I'm charted in unknown lands," he sings, sounding scared, but resolute. It's a record attempting to find the sweet spot between leaning on what came before and pressing forward to make something new, a dilemma for any creative twentysomething.
The songs on At Best Cuckold were recorded over four years, as Zahner-Isenberg learned to play piano and bass, program drum machines, and showcase the conscientious enthusiasm of someone trying-out a college experience's worth of ideas. "I tried to just scoop up a lot of information from different mediums—music, movies, books, people I met—and write from what I was really feeling, no matter how simple or complex that was," he says.
Born and raised in Long Beach, California, he split time between there and nearby Los Angeles the last few years, living with musician friends. "Long Beach is great for meditative reasons," he says. "You've got to work because there's not too much going on." On the other hand, though, was "that L.A. vibe" and all its attendant magic, including a burgeoning avant-garde music scene he immersed himself in. The combination makes for a record born of isolation but not loneliness, one that's playful but not superficial.
Before I get on the phone with Zahner-Isenberg, at least three people tell me they've heard he's kind of a weird guy—an impression I believe when I follow him on Instagram and am bombarded with dozens of hastily sketched, vaguely pornographic portraits. But when we speak, he reveals himself as a deliberate personality, someone who's at ease with not being at ease. "These birds seem so fucking free, they're nothing compared to me," he sings on a new song. You believe him, even though he sounds thousands of miles away from anyone else.
Pitchfork: You were 19 when the first record came out and now you're 23—what have you been up to during that time?
Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg: I toured quite a bit initially and then just kind of hung out. I wanted to get more into listening and playing music. A lot of people I was around were in school, so I tried to expose myself to academia. So I could be working on music but then be stimulated by my friends at Cal State Long Beach or UCLA, trying to find out about what they were learning so I didn't feel like I was just wasting my time or living a pipe dream. I wanted to keep my brain active. I still have a lot of dreams about school.
Pitchfork: I'm struck by how diverse the album sounds without being too busy.
AZI: With a lot of the tone-seeking stuff, I definitely thought a lot about what I've seen my peers doing, whether it's going super hi-fi or super lo-fi. It's a struggle for people to figure out how to do it right. I took a lot of cues from old analog-style recordings, not in the sense of using analog equipment, but more in a sense of preserving a sound from when you record through to the mix. Also, the beautiful thing about modern music is that you can record anything anywhere and use different environments and different machinery and different technologies to mix and match, too.
Recording is a really strange process. When I made that first record, I didn't know anything about recording, so I got excited by hearing such a wide frequency range that I just put whatever on it. But then the result sounded kind of strained. My earliest recordings were really, really, really quiet. I would use Audacity and a computer microphone and get really up-close to the mic and get a really warm sound with my voice. With this album, being able to get a comfortable sound was my goal, to make something that fell well on the ears.
Pitchfork: The lyrics good job describing this enlightened, if not solitary, experience. A song like "So What" has the soul-searching quality of your first record, but there's a more comfortable feel.
AZI: Everything I write is about my own experience. There's a lot of parts of that song that are purposefully abstract, but a lot of it is just collecting moods and emotions about everything you're feeling at once. There's a certain liberation you get from working on something by yourself. There's also a sense of loneliness, but a lot of "So What" is about wanting to escape and feel pleasure and bliss as either a response to that lonely feeling.
Pitchfork: Were there any writers you were drawing from in your approach?
AZI: Growing up in the '90s and the 2000s, people my age are trying to figure out how to balance their influences and stay current, whatever that means. But for me, songwriting is an expression of yourself to yourself—using this channel to talk about anything that's coming to mind and writing it down and looking back and thinking, "What am I writing?" Because you're trying to creatively express yourself, you'll end up with something you wouldn't have been able to tell yourself otherwise. I learn a lot from writing cathartically or improvisationally and then drawing from that. That's how I write songs.
Pitchfork: Do you think it'll be another four years before your next album?
AZI: I want to get into a flow where I can write and record in the same place, and I'm hoping that touring this record gives me a lot of energy and some new skills. But yeah, it depends. You write some things in 10 minutes, and some things in two days, and some things in two years. I'm still learning about sound. There's a lot of different things I want do.

Evidence-Based Practice and Nursing Research: Avoiding Confusion
The ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® (MRP) requires hospitals to have evidence-based practice embedded in the culture of the organization. In the documentation, hospitals must demonstrate that nurses evaluate and use published research in all aspects of clinical and operational processes.
The ANCC also expects nurses to conduct research projects and that knowledge from these projects will be shared with nurses within and outside the organization.
Although the two requirements have the potential for overlapping concepts in the minds of many nurses, evidence-based practice and research projects are distinctly different—and, if the differences are not recognized, it is possible for an organization's documentation to fail to adequately explain how it meets both requirements.
Evidence-based practice
What is evidence-based practice in the most basic terms? Evidence-based practice looks at research findings, quality improvement data and other forms of evaluation data, and expert opinion to identify methods of improvement.
It's identifying what exactly differentiates evidence-based practice from research that can be challenging for staff members.
"Evidence-based practice is used to close the gap between the research being conducted and the practice—the 'research/practice gap,' " says Marquetta Flaugher, ARNP-BC, DSN, an APN at Bay Pines (FL) VA Hospital.
Evidence-based practice challenges nurses to look at the "why" behind existing methods and processes in the search for improvement.
"So much is based on opinion and tradition, and we can't do that anymore," says Flaugher. "We need to use evidence and speak that language."

An offseason of change for the Michigan State Spartans got even change-ier Saturday.
Coaches are always pretty coy when it comes to disclosing the injuries of their players.
The coaches poll — as well as the AP poll — won't be much more than aesthetic this season, but that didn't stop the fanfare when the first preseason top 25 rankings came out Thursday.
If Shilique Calhoun leads the Spartans in touchdowns again, Mark Dantonio probably won't be too happy.
But Calhoun will be.
As the dog days of summer arrive, the longing for football becomes all the more intense. Well, we here at CSNChicago.com are here to provide you with a summertime football fix.

Sam Bradford may be out for weeks
ARLINGTON, Texas — First, Oklahoma lost its Heisman quarterback. Then, the Sooners lost the game. With Sam Bradford only able to watch from the sidelines, Brigham Young rallied for a 14-13 victory Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium to stun the third-ranked Sooners in the season opener.
Bradford suffered a sprain to the acromioclavicular joint in his throwing shoulder late in the second quarter. X-rays were negative, but Bradford could be out weeks, depending on the severity of the sprain. Coach Bob Stoops claimed after the loss he wouldn't know until today or Monday how long Bradford would be out. "I think until they can get home and MRI it and get more reviews of it, I don't think we'll know," Stoops said. Bradford watched the second half from the sidelines with an icepack on his shoulder and his arm in a sling. Redshirt freshman Landry Jones replaced Bradford in the second half, but the Sooner offense sputtered without Bradford or All-American tight Jermaine Gresham, who missed the game due to cartilage damage in his knee.

Barry Levinson picks his 5 favorite horror films

AP Movie Critic
Barry Levinson, director of such modern American classics as "Diner," "The Natural" and "Rain Man," makes a surprising venture into the horror realm this week with "The Bay," an unnerving fright fest about a coastal July 4 celebration that goes horribly wrong.
Except for the fact that "The Bay" takes place in his beloved home state of Maryland, you'd never know this was a Levinson film. He has embraced the found-footage conceit that's become so popular within the genre in recent years, but he's done so more consistently and effectively than the vast majority of these films. He uses the stillness of mundane moments to build real tension, which makes the intensely graphic gore that much more startling. But it's all in the service of a substantial fundamental message: "The Bay" is a powerful indictment of bureaucratic ineptitude and corporate greed.
Since this is such a departure for Levinson, we were curious to find out what his five favorite horror movies were. He was nice enough to take the time to answer in his own words:
- "The Exorcist" (1973): "The Exorcist" has some gutsy filmmaking. If you go back and watch it, pretty much nothing scary happens for the first 45 minutes. It s just slowly building tension. Then the daughter comes downstairs in the middle of her mother's Georgetown cocktail party and urinates on the carpet in front of all the guests. It s an incredible moment and the movie just goes from there. It s not trying to have fun with the horror like a lot of the films of today. It suggests that this very well could have happened.
- "Frankenstein" (1931): Don't think you can overlook the original "Frankenstein." Great design for a monster. Classical form. And one of the great understated scenes of tension when the monster comes upon a very young girl. She accepts him without question. And we just wait for something terrible to happen.
- "Diabolique" (1955): The 1950s French film directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot. As far as I know, no one was doing horror/thriller with as much originality as this film. The story takes place at a boarding school in the French countryside where a schoolmaster s wife and his mistress conspire to kill him. When they do, the body disappears and a series of strange and disturbing events occur. This film has some fantastic imagery and incredible psychological tension.
- "Psycho" (1960): Again, all the great horror movies remain great because they did something outside the box. Killing a movie star as big as Janet Leigh was unheard of. Nobody did that. And to do it in the shower like that. It s now become an iconic moment (I actually made a good deal of fun of it in "High Anxiety"), but I remember my mouth kind of dropping when I saw it. I heard Hitchcock tried to grab the rights to "Diabolique" and lost out to Henri-Georges Clouzot. In turn, he made "Psycho" a few years later and used some of the great imagery "Diabolique" used with water, bathrooms, death.
- "Let the Right One In" (2008): I don t know if I would label this one strictly horror, but it certainly is terrifying. And touching. Tomas Alfredson is one of the many talented directors coming out of Sweden right now and this one works so well because it's as interested in character as it is in horrifying moments and imagery. Shot against a cold, icy landscape, it's as much a love story between the two children as it is vampire film.
