will.i.am saves The Voice finalist Lydia Lucy from ghost
- Bang Showbiz
- 7 April 2016
'The Voice' finalist Lydia Lucy was left seriously shaken when she woke up to find a ghost hovering above her bed and has now been shipped off to a hotel by her coach will.i.am
'The Voice's will.i.am sent Lydia Lucy to a hotel after she was spooked by a ghost in the contestants' shared home.
The caring coach - who has mentored on the show since it began five years ago - was forced to intervene when the aspiring singer was left seriously shaken after she disturbed in the night by a ghoul hovering above her bed.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: "At first everyone thought Lydia was winding us up. But she was so frightened that in the end we moved her to a nice hotel where thankfully there appear to be no ghosts."
Meanwhile, Lydia is to go head-to-head with Ricky Wilson's acts - Kevin Summ and Jolan Gidney-Craigen - and Boy George's Cody Frost in Saturday (09.04.16) night's final in the hope of scoring the winner's crown.
But while the coaches will be rallying around their acts this weekend, Paloma Faith - who joined the show as a mentor this year - recently hinted she would not attend the forthcoming showdown because her singers had been axed.
The flame-haired beauty uploaded a photograph of her sitting on the panel alongside the cryptic caption: "Last night I went down with the ship power dressing in possibly my last foray into reality tv shows. I may not be built for them but I am definitely built for getting lost in music. Caught in a trap. No turning back. (sic)"

Attention, fantasy football players. The NFL has made some statistical changes in the Chiefs' game at Washington that could affect your results.
Here they are:
• Dwayne Bowe's receiving yards were increased from 69 to 70 when his touchdown catch from Alex Smith was adjusted from 21 to 22 yards.
• Jamaal Charles' rushing yards were increased from 151 to 152 when given an extra yard for a first-quarter run.
• Wide receiver Dexter McCluster lost 2 yards, not 1 on a first-quarter pass from Smith.
• Linebacker Derrick Johnson's return of an interception was increased from 40 to 41 yards.
The snow and mud on the field made it hard to determine yard lines, which led to the changes in the official stats.

Pesto: Pulse together the peas, garlic, Parmesan and salt and pepper in a food processor. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until well combined, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the pesto to a small bowl and set aside.
Crostini: Preheat a stovetop griddle or grill pan on medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of the sliced bread with olive oil and griddle until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a clean surface and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the prepared pesto on each slice. Top with tomato and serve.

Androx is famous because it was one of the first anabolic steroid where were a mix of 4 different testosterone esters. This preparation contains: testosterone propionate, testosterone isocaproate, testosterone phenylpropionate and testosterone decanoate. It was created for fast and at the same time long action. It is a strong anabolic steroid with well-expressed androgenic component. The active live of this anabolic is approximately 21 days. Once you started a cycle of 8-12 days of injecting, like one time during 5 days of Androx, it will give effective results. In the first 5 days, already you will notice an increase in your weight training. Bodybuilders are using Androx usually to put on mass and size while increasing the strength. Taking Androx even during the first cycle, it can bring very good results in the first cure, even if the dose isn't so big. Because of its ability to absorb water, this preparation is not suitable for pre-competition preparation in bodybuilding. At the same time, being very a strong androgen, post course therapy should take place approximately 2 weeks after the last injection of the preparation, because it is active during long time in the blood. If you really need extreme volume, then you may combine Androx with Anadrol or Dianabol. But if you need for a clear relief, it could be combined with Trenbolone Mix or of Androx:· Increase of power rate· Increase of muscle mass· Increase of red blood cell formation· Increase of catabolic processes· Increase sexual desire during the cycle, and decline after its completionSpecification:· Active Life - 21 days· Average Dose - 250-1000 mg/weekly· Aromatization - Yes..
Christ. Finasteride has impotence, loss of interest in sex, trouble having an orgasm, abnormal ejaculation listed as "common" side effects. And "Less serious" side effects also include impotence, loss of interest in sex, or trouble having an orgasm, which may persist after discontinuation. I thought this was rare. Why on earth are these side effects considered non-serious? Does the doctor consider impotence in himself as non-serious? This is really disheartening, that they can list this s**t as non-serious. Fvck off with "non-serious". It's the same with many anti-depressants.

Plymouth University 'in crisis' over boardroom battle
A power struggle at the heart of Plymouth University's boardroom has left it "in crisis", according to confidential reports to the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE).
University chief executive and vice chancellor Wendy Purcell was suspended from her £288,000 a year post in June.
The HEFCE has called for an independent review of governance after hearing allegations against both Prof Purcell and Chairman William Taylor.
The university has refuted the claims.
A spokesman said HEFCE had found "insufficient evidence" to investigate the complaints it had received.
'Detriment of university'
On Tuesday it released a statement saying the board of governors were "united" behind the investigation that led to Prof Purcell being suspended.
The statement also said that the HEFCE's call for a review of its governance pre-dated the vice-chancellor's suspension.
However, an HEFCE preliminary report, seen by the BBC, says one of the purposes of an inquiry would be to understand the circumstances that led to the investigation into the conduct of the vice chancellor.
Analysis: Neil Gallacher, BBC Spotlight's Business Correspondent
This gives a vivid insight into an extraordinary situation.
We now know that this breakdown in personal relationships at the top of the university has been dragging on since at least May.
The Times Higher Education publication was evidently just describing the tip of the iceberg when it pointed out last week that the degree of "senior management turbulence" seen at Plymouth is unusual for a major university.
Prof Purcell has not given any comments or interviews but I understand that she does still want to resume her role as vice-chancellor, in practice as well as in name.
Another purpose is to establish whether allegations about the conduct of Mr Taylor, a retired senior circuit judge for Plymouth, fall within the remit of HEFCE.
The report says the HEFCE was contacted with claims of a "governance crisis" more than two months ago.
The nature of the allegations are not revealed in the report, which says that a breakdown in personal relations between the pair "appears to have exacerbated matters to the detriment of the university".
Timeline of events
- 29 May 2014 - HEFCE was notified by the university of an internal investigation into the conduct of the vice-chancellor
- In early June the council was contacted by the discloser about a "governance crisis" at the university and requested HEFCE's intervention
- Also in early June the council received allegations about the conduct of the chairman
- 18 June - HEFCE head of assurance visited the university to review documentation from the discloser
- 2 July - it was revealed the vice-chancellor had been suspended pending a review
- In July a brief report following the enquiries was prepared for the HEFCE
- 12 Aug - the university's board of governors said it was "united" behind the review process
Sources: Preliminary report and BBC News
Neither Mr Taylor nor Prof Purcell have responded to requests for comment.
The report recommends the university should "commission an independent external review of its governance arrangements to include lessons learned from the recent governance events".
The university has repeatedly refused to reveal the reason for Prof Purcell's suspension.
In Prof Purcell's absence, the university is being led by deputy vice-chancellor, Prof David Coslett.
Alan Qualtrough, executive member of the Plymouth Area Business Council, warned the reputational damage to the city is becoming "irreparable" and the university's standing could suffer permanent damage.
The report says that, with hindsight, the university may have been better to "commission a shorter, more focused investigation" into the complaints against Prof Purcell, rather than set up a special committee.
Mr Qualtrough said: "The special committee is known as the committee of last resort and the moment it was set up signalled the institution was in crisis.
"Yet this was not the case; Plymouth University has been an exemplar in the maritime and enterprise fields. It is a community leader, and has been rising up the rankings.
"There had to have been a better way of resolving the matter, not least because the reputational damage to the university and the city is becoming irreparable."
A university spokesman said: "The university and its board categorically refute any assertions made to HEFCE that governance at the university is 'in crisis'.
"HEFCE visited the university on 18 June and in its assessment found 'insufficient evidence' to investigate the complaints it had received.
"Furthermore, while HEFCE has recommended that it would be 'good practice' given the current circumstances for the university to conduct an external review of governance arrangements, it confirmed that the ongoing investigation of complaints against the vice-chancellor was 'properly a matter for the university and its governing body to determine'."

H. L. Mencken Quotes About QualityQuotes about: Quality
The Jews could be put down very plausibly as the most unpleasant race ever heard of. As commonly encountered they lack any of the qualities that mark the civilized man: courage, dignity, incorruptibility, ease, confidence. They have vanity without pride, voluptuousness without taste, and learning without wisdom. Their fortitude, such as it is, is wasted upon puerile objects, and their charity is mainly a form of display.
The fact is that liberty, in any true sense, is a concept that lies quite beyond the reach of the inferior man's mind. And no wonder, for genuine liberty demands of its votaries a quality he lacks completely, and that is courage. The man who loves it must be willing to fight for it; blood, said Jefferson, is its natural manure. Liberty means self-reliance, it means resolution, it means the capacity for doing without . . . the average man doesn't want to be free. He wants to be safe.
In the United States...politics is purged of all menace, all sinister quality, all genuine significance, and stuffed with such gorgeous humors, such inordinate farce that one comes to the end of a campaign with one's ribs loose, and ready for King Lear, or a hanging, or a course of medical journals.
One is conscious of no brave and noble earnestness in it, of no generalized passion for intellectual and spiritual adventure, of no organized determination to think things out. What is there is a highly self-conscious and insipid correctness, a bloodless respectability submergence of matter in manner--in brief, what is there is the feeble, uninspiring quality of German painting and English music.

The 2010 Chris R. Tame Memorial Prize
£1,000 to be Won
In honour of Dr Chris R. Tame (1949-2006), The Libertarian Alliance offers a yearly prize of £1,000 for an essay on a subject to be announced by Dr Sean Gabb, Director of the Libertarian Alliance.
By Monday the
25th October 2010, contestants are invited to submit
essays to Dr Sean Gabb, Director of the Libertarian Alliance.
Essay Title: "Would a libertarian society deprive individuals of cultural roots and collective identity?"
Essay Length: 3,000 words excluding notes and bibliography
Explanatory Note
Something that variously inspires and terrifies is that claim that Islam resets the clock in any society where it is widely adopted. For example, the ancient histories of Persia and Egypt were obliterated between the 7th and the 9th centuries - so much so that they were only revealed to the natives of those countries in the 19th century by western scholars.
Would the achievement of libertarian hegemony result in a similar wipe out? Is it possible that the libertarian inhabitants of a future British Isles would regard Westminster Abbey and Trafalgar Square with the same utilitarian indifference as, until recently, Egyptian Moslems did the Great Pyramid and the Temple at Karnak? Libertarianism, after all, is an ideology of personal rights. Doubtless, libertarians will continue to get married and have children, and will form networks of friends. They will trade and cooperate extensively. Many will go to church or whatever. Most, one hopes, will take pleasure in charitable giving. But will they have the same cultural roots and collective identity as Englishmen and Frenchmen of our own day still have? Are these things actually valuable? Are they simply part of a discourse that keeps people enslaved? Or are they parts of a sedative that keeps us from seeing the full horror of death and taxes?
These notes are not to be regarded as exhaustive prompts. The winning essay may well take a different approach to the title. And originality is welcomed. Entrants may wish to find a similarity between our title for this year's prize and the "Libertarianism and Racial Nationalism" essay contest run earlier this year by The Occidental Observer. While we are unlikely to give £1,000 to someone for arguing that libertarianism is part of a Jewish plot to destroy white racial identity, some familiarity with this type of critique may be useful.
Essays must be original and previously unpublished works.
Essays must be fully referenced.
Essays must be submitted in English and typed and in hard copy by sending to The Libertarian Alliance, Suite 35, 2 Lansdowne Row, Mayfair, London W1J 6H, United Kingdom.
Essays must also be submitted by e-mail and in MS Word format to Sean Gabb - firstname.lastname@example.com .
Essays must bear the name and full address of the author, including his e-mail address. The name does not need to be genuine, but work submitted under what Sean Gabb considers an absurd pseudonym may be rejected. Certainly, the prize money will be by cheque, and so must be made out to a real person.
Essays must have been received ain both hard and soft copy no later than Monday the 25th October 2010.
The winner will be announced on the evening of Saturday the 30th October 2010, at the banquet of the Libertarian Alliance Conference, to be held at the National Liberal Club in London.
The winner may be required to make a ten minute acceptance speech on Saturday the 30th October 2010, at the banquet of the Libertarian Alliance Conference, to be held at the National Liberal Club in London. This speech may be made in person, or by pre-recorded video, or may be read out by Sean Gabb, .
The prize will be £1,000, made out to the winner and payable in Sterling by cheque drawn on one of the United Kingdom clearing banks. No other form of payment will be considered.
The winning essay will be published by the Libertarian Alliance. All essays submitted will be published by the Libertarian Alliance.
In all matters of deciding the winner of the Prize and in all associated matters, the decision of Sean Gabb shall be final.
The act of submitting an essay shall constitute full acceptance of these terms
This prize competition is not open to any Officer of the Libertarian Alliance or of the Libertarian International, or to any previous winner of the competition.

Review of Avery Ranch Golf Course
Avery Ranch is an outstanding course with some fun holes, good variety, great conditions, beautiful scenery, and it somewhat challenging. It's not surprising that it has received a number of awards and accolades, some of which include: Top Luxury Resort and Best Place to Hold a Corporate Event by Avid Golfer in 2014; Texas Outside's list of the Best Austin Courses; and 4 1/2 stars and Best Places to Play by Golf Digest.
Avery Ranch is located in northwest Austin and is a spectacular up-scale golf course with natural limestone caverns, knobby live-oak trees, rolling hills, lots of deer, ravines, meandering streams, and lakes - all of which help create a memorable, fun, challenging, and excellent golf experience. The course is very scenic as it plays up and down the rolling hills, along a lake, and across some ravines. Some of the holes on the front nine are lined with homes on the right side but the vast majority of the course is lined by trees and natural areas.
Avery Ranch offers lots of variety and several fun but challenging holes - dog legs left and right, narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, forced carries over ravines, limestone outcroppings, water, and protected greens. For example, #7 requires a carry over a ravine and natural area from an elevated tee box and a fairly precise tee shot to avoid the bunkers and trees and position yourself for the dog left to a green with another gully across the front of it - a great hole!
Even with all those challenges, the course is fair and if you pick the right set of tee boxes and can keep the ball in play you'll likely head to the clubhouse proud of your score.
The back nine is our favorite and it's a blast to play with plenty of challenges including: dog legs, uphill and downhill shots, forced carries, strategically placed bunkers, creeks and ravines, and more. Its fair but you'll need to use some course management and club selection skills to score well. There are some excellent holes but it's hard to beat #5 which is the #1 handicap hole and it is a beauty - a 597 yard par five that takes a sharp turn left and down hill leading to a pond which means you may need to lay up and then fly the pond to a skinny oblong green with the water in front and a ridge down the middle.
The back nine is a little easier, more open and forgiving, and has some very scenic holes. This nine has three par 5s and three par 3s. #17 is fantastic - a very pretty 186 yard downhill shot over a lake to a well protected but large oblong green. And the approach to the green on #18 offers some Kodak moments with a lake on the left side and a beautiful waterfall as a backdrop for the pin!
All three times that we have played Avery Ranch it has been in very good condition. The fairways were in near perfect shape as were the greens and the bunkers.
The greens are average size, smooth with some slope and minor undulation, and they ran about average speed (9 to 10). They ran very true and held the ball well. Some of the greens are a tad difficult to read thanks to subtle breaks.
Bottom line, Avery Ranch is a great course and one you should add to your list of must play Austin Courses. It is also part of the Austin Golf Trail which has some very good Stay & Play packages.

Service is very good. The grounds are beautiful. The food is great - the cheeseburger is fantastic. The practice facilities are adequate and the pro shop has everything you might need.
Here's How Texas Outside Determines the Scorecard Rating
The Texas Outside rating scale ranges from 1 to 10 – a perfect 10 course would be something like this: links along a cliff overlooking the Pacific ocean and bordered by tall trees; lush fairways on rolling hills with lots of natural hazards; water (which is crystal clear) on most of the holes; immaculate greens (but they are undulating and tough); lots of variety and character (each hole is completely different and includes blind shots, elevation changes, doglegs, and significant challenges); perfectly manicured traps with the whitest and prettiest sand you've ever seen; a nice club house with great food and a 19th hole; a GPS; plenty of beverage carts or your own cooler and ice; and it only costs $40 bucks! What this means is that you probably won't find any 10s in Texas – try Cabo San Lucas, Pebble Beach, or some of the Hawaii courses!
All of the above determines the overall score for the golf course. In other words, we like courses that are pretty, fun, very challenging with a lot of variety, and fairways and greens in excellent condition – all for $40. We also tend to play the courses that are affordable for the masses, which means in the $30 to $80 range. We rate hard and we haven't found a 10 in Texas yet – don't worry we haven't given up and we're still looking.

Trebah Gardens, an attraction near Falmouth
Trebah Gardens, near Falmouth are one of our favourites in Cornwall
Trebah Gardens an attraction near Falmouth on the south west coast of Cornwall is a sub tropical paradise started in the 1840's by the Fox family who were Quakers. They also built the well known Glendurgan Gardens run by the National Trust. From the late thirties until 1981 Trebah Gardens became unloved and overgrown.
It was then rescued by the Hibbert family who set about the enormous task of restoration. There are 25 acres in all with small lakes and cascades which eventually run down to a small secluded beach.
This is ideal for picnics and has superb views over the river mouth.
Extensive plantings of sub-tropical plants at the top of the Garden blend into rainforest of the lower reaches.
There are 3 acres of hydrangeas which give give superb late summer and autumn interest.
Trebah is also home to 9 champion trees, defined as being the tallest in the UK or having the widest girth.
We often visited here when holidaying in Cornwall with the children and you will not be disappointed.
There are many other places to visit nearby. Most are at their best in early summer although gardens like Trebah are worth visiting any time.

The newest PUFFiT Vaporizer available, the PUFFiT , features a redesigned thermal alloy heating chamber designed to produce more vapor than ever. The new design is smaller than previous models but still manages to pack at least 75% longer battery life, while a new modular design allows for users to quickly and easily replace swappable batteries. The PUFFiT 2 is versatile and features new compatibility with aromatherapy concentrate solids as well as regular dried blends.
Sizing in at 3.7'' high and 1.9'' wide, the PUFFiT 2 is the smallest PUFFiT to date. The PUFFiT 2 also joins the pack of vaporizers that utilize modular design to make for easy battery swaps, improving longevity and value. Haptic Feedback, a new feature for PUFFiT, allows you to be notified when heating is completed by a vibration as opposed to having to watch distracting LED lights. In addition to this, the new redesign allows use of both solid and dried blend aromatherapies. The PUFFiT 2 comes with all required accessories but not so much as to confuse new users - it is still an easy to use vaporizer and perfect for those new to vaping who are looking for the perfect portable vape.

Strangeways: Murder Moon – Page 12
Commenting stuff following jumping thing
Woah. Action? Running? Not just standing around being scared? Holy crap! Now we're getting somewhere!
Or is it. Could be a sasquatch. Bigfoot's got a might big range. Dude gets around.
Sorry, it's hard for me to get in the space of being serious and insightful. Just spent a little more than an hour being interviewed by Paula B. for http://www.writingshow.com/ and I think I used up all my serious writer talk about the medium. The interview will be going up sometime in August. I'll let you all know when that goes up so you can spend an hour listening to me tell prose writers about the difference between that and writing for comics.
Okay, page 12. Ah, I do that "overlapping narration/dialogue" thing again. See that? I kinda like it still. Makes the panels seem less like isolated moments cut off from one another and more like continuous and flowing time. That panel with Collins and the wolf facing one another still knocks me out. I loved it the second I saw it.
Sure, the wolf is HUGE. Bulked out like Banner on Gamma Rays, big and imposing. Sure, he's actually on the skinny, THE HOWLING side of the werewolf spectrum, but we get a shot of how Collins being all jacked up on adrenalin and fear actually SEES him. Go comics, you go.
Notice that Collins isn't all "That was a goddamn werewolf and I know that the best way to kill a goddamn werewolf is with some goddammn silver bullets, end of story." He doesn't know what he just saw and took a shot at. He's still not buying into Webster's story (which Webster himself seems to believe a little too deeply in.)
Okay, breaktime next week. Everyone's going to be at SDCC and on Twitter (remember, you can follow me at highway_62 on Twitter, where some wry observations may emerge from the show floor and you can have fun at other people's expense along with me) so there's no reason to update pages until I get back.
See y'all then. Have a real cool time.

Shenandoah University, the local university where I live, has been working towards pushing the technology envelope in the last few years, just has many others have been. It's not news that universities and colleges offer and often require incoming students to purchase devices like Tablet PCs, notebooks, iPods, and other devices. I say purchase because even though the headlines on these stories usually say things like ""Incoming Freshmen Receive New (pick a device)â€Â, the implication is often that they are getting something for nothing, and nothing is free and somebody is paying the freight in and amongst all the fees and tuition.
Shenandoah University has chosen to make ""going green†one of its priorities, and has chosen to Apple products for the next class of newcomers and some faculty.
""It was a key factor in choosing the MacBook,†Bryon Grigsby, Shenandoah's senior vice president and vice president for academic affairs, told Macworld. ""The university's strategic commitment to the environment and sustainability partners very well with the MacBook's pro-environment elements.â€Â
This fall all incoming freshmen, some grad students and some faculty will get MacBooks and an iPod Touch.
""The university community sees the iPod as a vibrant connection tool that will allow us to come together and be fully informed of what is going on in and around campus,†said Grigsby. ""We are also seeing ways that our daily business can be done online—students can register, pay bills, or see next semester's offerings easily and quickly.â€Â
it will be interesting to see how this plays out when I'm on the campus in the next year.

Avaya Takes the Magic Quadrant Lead
Avaya once more earns itself a spot as a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications (UC). It also received a "positive" rating in the SMB market reports for both North America and Western Europe, once again proving its mettle in the UC market.
In order to be recognized by the Gartner Magic Quadrant, a company must meet Gartner's standards for four characteristics: mobility, cloud, broad solution appeal, and commitment to interoperability. Avaya has matched all of those, with its portfolio of UC and collaboration solutions for businesses of all sizes.
"Only Avaya has the depth of understanding in both the technology of communications and the how people can -- and need to -- use these technologies to improve how they work," said Brett Shockley, senior VP and GM for Applications and Emerging Technologies at Avaya. "As a result, we continue to evolve and integrate the capabilities of our UC portfolio to provide customers with an extraordinary user experience that enables rich, easy and instantaneous communication and collaboration from any device."
It seems like every other week Avaya has earned recognition from someone, and for good reason. Its solutions provide excellent capabilities for industries of all sizes over a wide number of devices. Having recently acquired Radvision, Sipera, and Persony, it's only had more capabilities to add and integrate to its UC portfolio, making its already excellent solutions even better.
Avaya also recently launched the Avaya Collaborative Cloud, through which customers and partners can build, deliver, and use UC&C capabilities through the cloud. Also in the Avaya cloud is AvayaLive Connect, a UC and collaboration in a public cloud, providing voice, video, and more within the Collaborative Cloud framework for less than $20 a month.
This is another gold star on Avaya's report card, proving once more its role as a market leader in UC. I expect we'll be hearing more from Avaya very shortly.
Want to learn more about the latest in communications and technology? Then be sure to attend ITEXPO West 2012, taking place Oct. 2-5, in Austin, TX. Stay in touch with everything happening at ITEXPO. Follow us on Twitter.

Summary information
Update of the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare (2010 Guidelines)
The National Health and Medical Research Council in collaboration with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare are updating the 2010 Guidelines.
Further information on this update is available.
There are around 200,000 healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in Australian acute healthcare facilities each year. This makes HAIs the most common complication affecting patients in hospital. As well as causing unnecessary pain and suffering for patients and their families, these adverse events prolong hospital stays and are costly to the health system.
Understanding the modes of transmission of infectious organisms and knowing how and when to apply the basic principles of infection prevention and control is critical to the success of an infection control program. This responsibility applies to everybody working and visiting a healthcare facility, including administrators, staff, patients and carers.
Successful approaches for preventing and reducing harms arising from HAIs involve applying a risk-management framework to manage 'human' and 'system' factors associated with the transmission of infectious agents. This approach ensures that infectious agents, whether common (e.g. gastrointestinal viruses) or evolving (e.g. influenza or multi-resistant organisms [MROs]), can be managed effectively.
These guidelines provide recommendations that outline the critical aspects of infection prevention and control. The recommendations were developed using the best available evidence and consensus methods by the Infection Control Steering Committee. They have been prioritised as key areas to prevent and control infection in a healthcare facility. It is recognised that the level of risk may differ according to the different types of facility and therefore some recommendations should be justified by risk assessment. When implementing these recommendations all healthcare facilities need to consider the risk of transmission of infection and implement according to their specific setting and circumstances.
The Process Report is available at Appendix 2 of the guideline.
Clinical Educators Guide for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare
This Clinical Educators Guide for the prevention and control of infection in healthcare has been developed to provide strategies for clinical educators and supervisors to assist students and graduate healthcare workers integrate a risk management approach into their daily tasks/duties that involve infection prevention and control. The Guide aims to ensure students, and new graduates:
- are aware of the issue of healthcare associated infections in Australia;
- understand the chain of infection and the different modes of transmission of infection in healthcare;
- have a basic understanding of a risk management approach to infection prevention and control; and
- are able to identify potential risk for transmission of infection in the delivery of healthcare and decide what measures they should implement.
The Guide should be used in conjunction with the Australian Guidelines for the prevention and control of infection in health care (2010) and its key recommendations, as well as the healthcare facility's infection control orientation program.
Consumer fact sheets to support this guideline
These consumer factsheets have been developed to support the messages on healthcare associated infection contained in the NHMRC Australian Guidelines for the prevention and control of infection in healthcare (2010). The factsheets aim to inform patients, visitors, families and carers about healthcare associated infection, what activities healthcare facilities may have in place to make sure infections are prevented as much as possible, and what they can do to limit the spread of infections.
There are specific factsheets on the Methicillin resistant Staphylococuss aures,Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci and Clostridium difficile.
Information on infection control issues relating to Creutzfeldt Jacob disease (CJD)
Information on infection control issues relating to Creutzfeldt Jacob disease (CJD) and in particular the reprocessing of reusable medical instruments, is beyond the scope of this guideline. Please refer to the Department of Health website.

Former Croatia prime minister pleads not guilty to corruption charges
[JURIST] The corruption and war profiteering trial of former Croatian prime minister Ivo Sanader proceeded in Zagreb on Thursday with Sanader pleading not guilty to charges that he accepted a bribe in 1995. Sanader stands accused [Reuters report] of corruption, abuse of power and fraud for taking nearly €4 million [JURIST report] from public firms and state institutions, charges which he has denied. Croatia's Bureau for Combating Corruption and Organized Crime (USKOK) alleged Sanader received a pay-off [JURIST report] of more than 3.6 million kuna (nearly USD $695,000) from Austria's Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank in exchange for the country entering into a loan agreement to receive 140 million Austrian Schillings (USD $14.7 million) in order to place the bank in the Croatian market. At the time Sanader was deputy foreign minister and Croatia was at war, fighting for independence from Yugoslavia. In pleading not guilty Sanader told the court that he was only an agent for the foreign ministry during talks with Hypo Bank. To underscore his claims, Sanader told the court that Austrian prosecutors investigating malpractice at Hypo Bank had called him as a witness and not as a suspect. Sanader has also been indicted for allegedly taking bribes worth €10 million from Hungarian energy group MOL in exchange for allowing MOL a dominant position in Croatia's oil and gas group INA [corporate websites]. The court's decision on that indictment is still pending.
Sanader's trial was postponed [JURIST report] last week for health reasons. Elected to parliament after he stepped down from the prime minister position in 2009, Sanader was indicted in September as part of an anti-corruption campaign launched his hand-picked successor Jadranka Kosor [official profile]. Croatia is close to achieving membership in the European Union (EU), and Kosor hopes Sanader's trial will help ease pressure from Brussels for Croatia to sort out corruption and speed investigations. Sanader was extradited [JURIST report] to Croatia in July in order to face these charges after he was arrested in Austria last December. Sanader had argued that it would be impossible to receive a fair trial in Croatia, but he dropped his stance after media speculation [JURIST report] suggested the appeal could harm EU Croatia's accession. The Kosor government completed accession talks with the EU in June, and is hoping to join in July 2013.

The current director of high schools for Duval County School District is the new superintendent of schools for the Polk County School District.
BARTOW | The current director of high schools for Duval County School District is the new superintendent of schools for the Polk County School District.
Kathryn LeRoy was chosen Wednesday after interviews with two additional finalists over several weeks: David Lewis, the district's associate superintendent of schools; and Constance Jones, administrator on assignment for the Lee County School District.
''I'm truly honored the board felt I was the best candidate for the School District," LeRoy said by phone Wednesday. "Now, I'm ready to get there so we can start the work."
LeRoy, 55, has 27 years of experience in education. She began her teaching career as a science instructor in the Miami-Dade School District. She later worked in Duval as chief of mathematics and science officer and then as academic officer.
The next step is for School Board Chairwoman Hazel Sellers and School Board attorney Wes Bridges to negotiate a contract with LeRoy. The salary range was advertised as $210,000 to $260,000. LeRoy is asking for the midpoint of $235,000.
LeRoy has asked for two weeks before she begins her new job.
The board has a sense of urgency to sign a contract with LeRoy because she also is one of four finalists for the superintendent position in the Darlington County School District in South Carolina, The Darlington decision should be made in June.
LeRoy was chosen at a special meeting Wednesday afternoon that included a two-part balloting process and then a vote. Some board members were vocal on their choices and there was debate on selecting an internal candidate as opposed to an external candidate.
Sellers reminded the board that before Lewis was chosen in his current role, former Superintendent of Schools Gail McKinzie chose him to be director of high schools for a reason.
"She wanted to bring in someone who would be a role model to other principals," Sellers said. "I kept hearing him say give people the power to make decisions and then hold them responsible."
Hunt Berryman said academic achievement was important to him.
"At the end of the day for me, Dr. Jones showed those qualities."
Tim Harris presented his fellow board members a spreadsheet showing the skills and experience of each candidate. The chart showed that Lewis had more in the areas of fine arts experience, institutional knowledge and school-level construction experience.
Although none was strong in budgeting experience, Kay Fields said LeRoy stood out in academics. "We can say anything but who can show what they've done?" Fields said. "To me, it's Ms. LeRoy."
During the first round of ballots, board members Fields, Debra Wright and Dick Mullenax ranked LeRoy as their first choice.
Board members Lori Cunningham and Berryman ranked Jones as first, and Sellers and Harris ranked David Lewis as their top choice.
On the second ballot, only Cunningham and Berryman did not choose LeRoy.
To make the choice unanimous, the board took a vocal vote on LeRoy.
After the meeting, Marianne Capoziello, president of the Polk Education Association, said she was happy with the board's decision.
"I think Kathyrn LeRoy is a strong candidate. I think she has a track record of working with the union and caring about the opinions of the people who move the mission of the district on a daily basis."
School Board members also heard from the public before their vote.
Don Brown, president of the Lakeland Branch of the NAACP who attended all of the community meet and greet forums with the candidates, said each was qualified to do the job so the decision not only needed to be what's best for students but what's best for the district's staff.
L.D. Wilcox, a retired principal, said the board needed to vote for the candidate who could take the district to the next level.
"We need to forget about buddyism and cronyism," Wilcox said. "We've been standing still too long in Polk County. If we keep doing the same old thing, we are going to get the same results."

After Attorney General Eric Holder wrote a letter to Congressional leaders today admitting for the first time that the U.S. has killed four Americans with drone strikes.
In response, Amnesty International's Zeke Johnson told The New York Times: "The Obama administration continues to claim authority to kill virtually anyone anywhere in the world under the 'global battlefield' legal theory and a radical redefinition of the concept of imminence."
What do you think?
Does Obama have the right to kill Americans with drones?

Advertising Blurbswww.nintendo.com - Nintendo 64:
When you've been blowing up bad guys for as long as Bomberman, you cease to be self-conscious about the color of your cyber suit. Nintendo Power Source is pleased to announce that Bomberman has returned to Nintendo 64 for a third action-packed adventure -- pink gloves and all.
After his successful exploits in Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Hero, Bomberman was enjoying a much-needed vacation at the luxurious Hot Springs Planet Ksa2. His relaxation session was cut short, though, when his Bomber Craft drifted too close to a black hole created by a power-crazed evil doer named Rukifellth.
Bomberman discovers that Rukifellth and his BHB Army have enslaved peaceful planets with powerful Gravity Generators, in a quest to discover seven powerful Stones. Once again, Bomberman is charged with the task of saving Bomber Planet by beating the BHB Army into submission and recovering the seven Stones before Rukifellth can take over the entire galaxy.
As soon as you begin your quest in the bowels of the Lost Planet, you'll quickly realize that The Second Attack is the best of Bomberman's N64 adventures. The gameplay is very similar to Bomberman 64, but an improved camera perspective greatly improves the gameplay.
The game features seven planets for Bomberman to liberate, plus a final stage set on Rukifellth's Warship. On each planet, Bomberman must destroy a Gravity Generator and defeat one of Rukifellth's Astral Knights. To accomplish these tasks, players will have to explode multitudes of enemies and solve complex puzzles.
Each time Bomberman defeats an Astral Knight, he recovers a Stone which allows him to use a new type of bomb. In addition to blowing up crates and enemies, Bomberman uses the special powers of different bombs to solve puzzles. Here's a sneak peek at Bomberman's new and improved arsenal:
Fire Bomb: This is Bomberman's classic weapon, which explodes in four different directions
Ice Bomb: The Ice Bomb freezes water, objects and enemies
Wind Bomb: Use the Wind Bomb to blow Bomberman over impassable terrain
Lightning Bomb: This weapon is used to fry circuitry in mechanized or robotic equipment
Shadow Bomb: This is similar to the Fire Bomb, but is much more powerful
Also, Bomberman can collect a wide variety of items on each planet by destroying objects or enemies. These items allow Bomberman to perform special tasks like kicking or picking up bombs. A new feature in The Second Attack is that Bomberman can purchase these items at a special Merchant Ship before landing on a planet. The Merchant Ship also sells game hints and other rare treasures.
No hero is complete without a sidekick, and this time Bomberman is blessed with a freaky little fellow named Pommy to do his dirty work. Pommy, a Kirby-esque creature that hatches from an egg early in the game, helps Bomberman by knocking down enemies and providing comic relief.
Pommy is a hungry little bugger, and if you want to keep it happy you have to collect food which can be found on each planet. If you find enough food, Pommy will evolve into a more powerful creature. You can actually determine how Pommy evolves by carefully choosing which food you collect. If you feed Pommy nothing but meat, for example, it will grow more strong. If you feed it only vegetables, it evolves into a more intelligent creature.
Excluding his witty comments, the best thing about Pommy is that it can be controlled by a second player. Pommy is forced to follow Bomberman, but the second player controlling the creature can attack enemies and assist in the adventure. Due to his timid disposition, Pommy is not able to help Bomberman in a Gravity Generator room or while fighting an Astral Knight.
After nearly being crucified for omitting a multiplayer mode in Bomberman Hero, Hudson Soft has responded to the criticism with a rich four-player Battle Mode. There are eight different Battle Arenas to choose from, and a variety of ways to play:
Survival: This is the classic Bomberman battle. The last player standing wins
Battle Royal: The player who defeats the most competitors within a specific amount of time wins
King & Knights: Assign players to teams, and see who can survive the longest
Key Trial: This mode uses a split-screen. The first player to locate two hidden Keys is the winner
Score Attack: Attack objects or other players to collect as many coins as possible
Initially, Survival Mode is the only multiplayer game available. To unlock new modes of play, single players must compete in the Challenge Battle Mode. In this mode, a single player battles multiple CPU-controlled characters in an increasingly difficult set of competitions.
Like the original Bomberman 64, The Second Attack allows gamers to collect Custom Parts in the Story Mode for use in Battle Mode. Decorative Custom Parts are very well hidden, and normally require some serious puzzle-solving to collect.
Perfected play control and the presence of a pummeling Battle Mode make Bomberman 64: The Second Attack one of the hottest games of the year.

Giuliani Comes Out as a Cultural Conservative!
Click here for Chatterbox's take on Giuliani's art criticism.
"Sensation"--the show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art that Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is trying to quash by threatening to withdraw city funding from the institution--is not the first exhibition of so-called "sick stuff" to be shown by a publicly funded New York cultural institution during his seven-year tenure. In October of 1997, the gallery P.S. 1--which receives, according to one curator's estimate, more than 50 percent of its budget from the city--installed continuous showings of an hourlong film of a simulated homosexual orgy by underground filmmaker Jack Smith. The mayor didn't utter a word. Nor did he comment on the Whitney Museum's 1997 Biennial, which included Paul McCarthy's videos of a half-naked man dressed as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer frolicking with nude female "elves" as they defecated, stirred the excrement up with chocolate, and ate it.
But now Giuliani's attacking this "Sensation" exhibit, which includes: a self-portrait made of its creator's frozen blood; vivisections of dead livestock preserved in formaldehyde; and a painting of a Virgin Mary decorated with elephant droppings. The mayor is threatening to cut city funding for the museum--that's about a third of the BMA's annual budget--if it opens the exhibit. It's a move that's obviously designed to bolster his Senate candidacy: The British artists are his Murphy Brown and Sister Souljah. (Luckily for him, being mayor of New York supplies him with richer material than a mere upscale single mom or a cussing rap star.) Giuliani is signaling to upstate New Yorkers and to the national Republican Party that although he's the mayor of Sin City, he can't abide sinners himself.
Culturebox can't help but think that the mayor and the "Sensation" artists deserve one another, since they share a common goal of drawing as much attention to themselves as possible. The "Sensation" folks, though, are doing the better job. Brilliantly orchestrated by the British adman Charles Saatchi to increase the value of his extensive holdings of the artists' work, the show has already drawn flattering notices in TheNew Yorker, New York Times, and other publications. And that was before the mayor's condemnatory fit. Now, if the show doesn't go on, it will be martyred; if it does, it will draw even bigger crowds and more press than originally anticipated. Giuliani will have given the show's name more credence than it ever had on its own.
The mayor, on the other hand, is coming off as a coward and a traitor. He's too chicken to pick on a more established cultural institution such as MoMA, which now owns P.S. 1. Forcing the show to be canceled at the last minute will arouse the ire of culture lovers, the wrath of the First Amendment brigade, and the sympathies of anyone who's ever tried to organize ... well, anything. (Giuliani did win Chatterbox's approval, though; click here to read why.)
But the worst part is that Giuliani is screwing his own city. New York needs avant-garde art just as it needs fashion designers, Wall Street firms, and Broadway shows. Our museums and galleries put us at the center of the art world, and bring us untold riches from art-related businesses and tourists who come to patronize the city's cultural institutions. The art industry is also responsible for resuscitating--some would say gentrifying--some of New York's most desolate neighborhoods, including SoHo, TriBeCa, the meatpacking district, and the DUMBO section of Brooklyn.
It's no surprise that Giuliani is coming out as a cultural conservative. But selling out his own city to do so is pretty sick stuff indeed.

41st Annual Meeting of the South-Central Section
41st Annual Meeting of the North-Central Section
Geological Society of America
Lawrence, Kansas, 11-13 April 2007
|The Kansas Geological Survey, the Department of Geology, and the Department of Geography of The University of Kansas will host the 2007 joint annual meetings of the South-Central and North-Central Sections of the Geological Society of America. The meeting dates will be from Wednesday, April 11, to Friday, April 13, at the Kansas Union on the University of Kansas campus, Lawrence, Kansas.
|The University of Kansas (KU) is a major research and teaching university with over 29,000 students and over 2,200 faculty members at the Lawrence, Edwards, and the Medical Center campuses. Research expenditures at KU exceeded $274 million in 2004 with more than $155 million from external sources. Immediately adjacent to the meeting site at the Kansas Union are the KU Natural History Museum (with paleontological displays including marine reptiles, dinosaurs, fishes, mammals, invertebrates, and plants) and the KU Spencer Museum of Art. KU has strong traditions in geologic and paleontologic research.

|The Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) is a research and service organization operated within KU that conducts geologic studies and research and collects, correlates, preserves, and disseminates information leading to a better understanding of the geology of Kansas. The KGS is a leader in geologic, energy, ground-water, and geophysical research. Topics of KGS publications include computer applications, ground-water, petroleum, engineering geology, geochemistry, geophysics, paleontology, mineral economics, and stratigraphy. The KGS employs more than 60 geologists, geohydrologists, geophysicists, computer scientists, and other specialists. The Data Access and Support Center, the GIS data repository for the State of Kansas, is housed at the KGS. The KGS also operates a branch office in Wichita, the Wichita Well Sample Library.
|The Department of Geology's 19 faculty direct a program of research, service, and teaching. It introduces 4,000 to 5,000 KU students to the Geosciences each year, and its 65 graduate students and 78 undergraduate majors receive a diverse and cutting-edge education. The undergraduate curriculum focuses on fundamentals, field experiences, and new approaches. The graduate program excels in advanced training and research. With $6 million in grant funding and approximately 60 peer-reviewed papers published yearly, it is a hub of research activity. It boasts excellent programs in sedimentology/stratigraphy, geochemistry, petroleum geology, paleontology, environmental geology/hydrogeology, tectonics, high-resolution geophysics, and geobiology. It is the home of the Keck Plasma Analytical Lab, Keck Paleoenvironmental Stable Isotope Lab, U-Th/He and TIMS Isotope Geochemistry Lab, the journal Palaios, and the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology.

|With over 20 faculty members, the Department of Geography at KU consists of geography and atmospheric sciences and is a leader in remote sensing and GIScience. Close affiliates of the department are the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program (KARS) and the National Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS). Physical geography research and education focuses on Quaternary geology and soils geomorphology, isotope geochemistry and geoarchaeology.
|Lawrence, Kansas, is a city with a population of 88,000 ~35 miles west of Kansas City, and is located in a terrane of gently westward-dipping Pennsylvanian strata. The intersection of the Oread Escarpment with the Kansas and Wakarusa River valleys at Lawrence highlights a cuesta landscape featuring rolling hills and beautiful vistas. The KU central campus is located on the dipslope rim of the Oread Escarpment, and can be seen for miles when approaching from the east and south. Mid-April is a delightful time to visit Lawrence and the KU campus. Beautiful and historic downtown Lawrence is located at the foot of the Oread Escarpment just to the east of the KU campus. Lawrence has a vibrant arts community and a wonderful downtown shopping, dining, and bar district with commercial and public art galleries, the Watkins Museum, and a variety of live music venues. Other restaurants, bars, and shopping centers are spread throughout the city. To learn more about Lawrence, visit the following web sites: City of Lawrence, Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau, Lawrence Journal-World Newspaper, and Lawrence.com.
