Infection Prevention and Control for Blood Borne Pathogens Guideline
|Document Number
|Date Last Amended
|21 February 2012
1. Introduction
1.1. This document sets out the University guidelines on infection control for blood/body substance transmitted pathogens. The University has a duty to provide and maintain a safe working and social environment for the entire University community comprising students, academic staff, professional staff and visitors, and to ensure that the risk of blood borne infection is kept to a minimum. Infection control is based on the Standard (Universal) Precautions Model which requires that all individuals are regarded as potentially infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, and other blood/body substance transmitted pathogens, and that infection control procedures are applied accordingly. This approach is necessary, as an individual's actual infection status is unknown at any given time.
1.2. The Standard (Universal) Precautions Model is not restricted to health care worker: consumer relationships and should be universally applied in all settings.
1.3. The University's approach is one of setting in place education programs for different sections of the University community according to their needs and the establishment of appropriate infection prevention and control procedures.
1.4. These guidelines are in keeping with current University of Newcastle, Occupational Health and Safety, Anti-Discrimination and Public Health Legislation and with NSW Health Policies and Circulars, Hunter Area Health Service Policies, NH&MRC Guidelines and current legislation.
1.5. Various sub-populations within the University face different levels of risk, which are dealt with under Section 10. The majority of occupational and educational situations within the University pose no risk of transmission.
2. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
2.1. Hepatitis B is a viral infection causing inflammation and dysfunction of the liver for a short duration. It is a more common infection than HIV and is easier to contract than HIV. In the adult population, approximately 90% of individuals infected with the hepatitis B virus have a successful resolution of the infection and develop lifelong immunity. It is important to be aware that some people can be exposed to the hepatitis B virus and not have any symptoms of the illness. Approximately 10% of those infected become carriers of the virus. There is a vaccine available to prevent infection with the hepatitis B virus and it is recommended that people with at risk behaviours and health care workers be vaccinated.
2.2. Hepatitis C is also a viral infection of the liver causing chronic inflammation with possible scarring (cirrhosis) and permanent liver dysfunction which occurs over a long period of time. Hepatitis C is not as easy to contract as hepatitis B, but is still more infectious than HIV infection. Of the people who are infected with hepatitis C, only a very small percentage eliminate the infection from their liver and remain antibody positive. The majority of people remain infected and become chronic carriers of the virus. There are no vaccines available to protect the population from hepatitis C and treatment is only experimental at present. However there is some success with current treatment regimes.
2.3. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a human retrovirus that has the ability to impair the immune system of an infected person. The development of antibodies to the virus in the infected person does not give rise to immunity, as is the case with other infections. The virus proceeds to damage the immune system over a period of years to the extent that the body is unable to mount an effective defence against serious illness and other infections. There is no vaccine against HIV. Currently the only treatment to stem the progress of the infection in an attempt to prevent damage of the immune system is by using combinations of anti retroviral medications for life.
3. Transmission of, and Prevention of Infection by, Blood/Body Substance Borne Pathogens
3.1. Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV and other blood/body substance borne pathogens may be transmitted as follows:
3.1.1. Blood to blood transmission -may occur through sharing of needles and syringes among injecting drug users, by needlestick/sharps injuries, by exposure of non-intact skin or mucous membranes to blood and by injection with unsterilised needles and syringes. Since 1985 in Australia all blood and organ donors have been screened for HIV and Hepatitis B, and since 1990 for Hepatitis C. Since 1984/85 all blood products have been heat treated. Significant risk may be encountered by staff and students working in some overseas countries, where blood to blood transmission may occur by transfusion of unscreened blood or untreated blood products and by organ donation.
3.1.2. Sexual transmission - may occur through unprotected vaginal, oral, or anal intercourse with an infected person.
3.1.3. Perinatal transmission -may occur from an infected mother to her foetus or infant, before, during, or shortly after birth.
3.1.4. Breast feeding - transmission may occur through breast feeding.
3.1.5. Sharing of personal items To minimise transmission of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV individuals should not share personal care items (such as toothbrushes or razors), needles and drug injecting equipment.
3.2. There is no evidence to suggest that HIV is transmitted by such modes as casual social contact including kissing and hugging, sharing of crockery, toilets and showers, water fountains, coughing, sneezing or crying.
4. Immunisation
4.1. Students working in a clinical setting in health care facilities are required by NSW Health to have commenced Hepatitis B immunisation. It is strongly recommended that students and staff directly involved in patient care or who may be handling or potentially in contact with human blood or tissue should be vaccinated and their immunity confirmed and then maintained by regular booster doses as prescribed by the NH&MRC Immunisation Handbook.
5. Education
5.1. The University supports an integrated education policy that provides information on the risk factors associated with blood borne infection transmission, situations that pose increased risk of exposure and actions to be taken if accidental exposure should occur (see Attachment 1 -Injury/Incident/Hazard Report Register and Attachment 2 -NSW Health Circular 98/11 Management of Health Care Workers Potentially Exposed to HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C). The policy aims to increase understanding and awareness of infectious disease to prevent unlawful discrimination against individuals who are known to be or are perceived to be infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV, and to increase awareness of individual responsibility with respect to transmission of blood borne infection. It also stresses the importance of confidentiality and privacy, and the legal requirements in this regard.
5.2. Education is provided through the Faculties and their Schools; the Divisions; the University Health Service; Human Resource Services; the Physical Planning and Estates Section and other relevant units; and the student associations. Education includes programs for staff, student orientation programs, videos, written material and individual consultation.
5.3. Information on infection control will be made available on the University's Web page.
5.4. It is the responsibility of each Faculty to examine closely the infection control requirements for the education of its students. Faculties will identify the risks students and staff may encounter, and will ensure that an appropriate education and management program is provided.
5.5. For most of the humanities it is envisaged that the risks will be no greater than those experienced by the rest of the community. However, for the medical, nursing and other health professional areas, and some laboratory/social sciences the risks are more significant (refer to Section 10).
6. Discrimination
6.1. The University recognises that it has a duty under the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act (1977) and the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act(1992) to ensure that individuals are not unlawfully discriminated against (that is treated unfairly compared to others) or harassed because of their physical impairment or disability (which includes infection with HIV and other pathogens), sexual preference (whether known or presumed), racial background, religion, gender, pregnancy, marital status or age.
6.2. It is University policy that the University does not use unlawful discriminatory practices as an employer, in the provision of services or as an educational institution with regard to both existing and prospective students. Advice will be provided for individuals who can be shown to have acted in an unlawful discriminatory way. Ultimately disciplinary action may be taken against such individuals.
6.3. It should not be inferred that the policy to prevent unlawful discrimination means that individuals must expose themselves to risk of blood borne infection.
6.4. In the event that an individual considers he/she has been unlawfully discriminated against, then he/she will have recourse to the University's Grievance Procedures for Staff and Grievance Procedures for Students. Due regard will be given to the confidentiality and privacy of the individual.
7. Confidentiality
7.1. The University recognises that individuals have a right to privacy and confidentiality regarding their infection status. Under the Public Health Act 1991, individuals who have tested positive for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV are under no obligation to disclose that information toanother person, except where that person is an intended sexual partner. Disclosure of a person's infection status by another person constitutes a breach of confidentiality. The individual who has breached confidentiality can be liable to a minimum $5000 fine under the Act. Also, an infected individual who knowingly places another individual at risk of a blood borne infection can be charged under this Act.
7.2. As part of its responsibility to minimise the spread of Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV, the University's policy is to ensure confidentiality. It seeks the trust and cooperation of people who may be at risk of blood borne infection. If people do not believe that their confidentiality will be protected they should seek advice from the University Health Service.
7.3. There are particular considerations that apply to infected Health Care Workers (see Attachment 3 - NSW Health Circular 99/88 Health Care Workers Infected with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis Cwhich the University supports. These encourage such individuals to consider disclosure of their immune status to their employer in order that work arrangements may be appropriately modified.
7.4. With respect to disclosure of a person's Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV status to a third person the University recognises that consent (preferably written) must be sought. Under the NSW Public Health Act, a penalty of $5,000 may apply to every individual unauthorised disclosure.
7.5. The relevant units within the University are required to ensure confidentiality of records of disclosure of infection with blood borne pathogens.
8. Testing
8.1. Testing is available for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV.
8.2. Testing is not compulsory under current legislation except HIV testing for people applying for permanent residence status.
8.3. The University policy does not require mandatory testing for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. However, students and staff in studying or teaching in the medical, nursing or other health professional areas should be aware of their immune status and should be tested in circumstances where they may be at risk of blood borne infection.
9. Counselling
9.1. Where individuals wish to determine their infection status specifically in relation to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV and elect to be tested, pre and post-testing counselling is available through the University Health Service.
9.2. Counselling is carried out in accordance with NSW Health Circular 92/20 Guidelines for Counselling Associated with HIV Antibody Testing (refer to Attachment 4). Pre-testing counselling will include the legal and other possible consequences of a positive antibody test.
9.3. Counselling and infection assessment with respect to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV and other blood/body substance borne pathogens will be carried out in accordance with the right of the individual to confidentiality and privacy. Individuals may use counselling and support services outside the University.
10. Specific Risk Categories and Management Strategies
The risk of exposure to blood borne infection and strategies for control vary in different settings, and may be considered in relation to three categories, determined by the nature of contact with infectious agents.
10.1. Category A: Clinical Settings - Direct/Indirect Patient Contact
10.1.1 This category refers to students and staff who are physically in contact with patients.
10.1.2 The University takes the view that intending or current medical, health sciences and nursing students and staff need to be aware of their immune/infection status. In line with their duty of care to others intending or current students and staff should be tested for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV, and should consider disclosing the test result to the University Health Service to receive appropriate advice. For students this may be prior to commencing a course. The individual's right to privacy and confidentiality is recognised. (See Attachment 5 - NSW Health Circular 98/100 HIV -Confidentiality: A Guide to Legal Requirements).
10.1.3 Advice, treatment and information on career options will be available to any students and staff who have concerns about body substance transmitted pathogens. The University supports the view that where a person has tested positive, it is important that he/she considers the implications for career choice and prospects, if appropriate. (see Attachment 3 - NSW Health Circular 99/88 Health Care Workers Infected with HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C).
10.1.4 Education on body substance borne infection control and ethico-legal issues such as professional duty of care and the "need to know"is an early component of the medical, nursing and otherhealth professional courses. Students and staff will be made aware of the policies of their professional association(s).
10.1.5 The University requires that students and staff comply with the infection control and management policy of the facility oragency in which professional practice is carried out.
10.1.6 Specific requirements and procedures for the staff and students in nursing programs are outlined in the Faculty of Nursing Infection Control Policy, Guidelines and Requirement Handbook.
10.1.7 Specific requirements and procedures for the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are outlined in the Faculty guidelines for infection control.
10.2. Category B: Laboratory Settings
10.2.1 This category refers to students and staff who work in research or other laboratories that handle potentially infectious materials.
10.2.2 Laboratory procedures will embody the principle that allbody substances both animal and human, and associated reagents are regarded as infected with pathogens.The risk of exposure to infectious agents, whether by percutaneous injury, exposure of non-intact skin or mucous membranes, will be minimised through the use of protective clothing, safe laboratory practices such as sharps disposal, contaminated waste disposal, spills management, prevention of mouth pipetting, and basic hygiene measures. Training will be provided by the relevant Faculty to both new and existing laboratory students and staff on the importance of blood borne infection control procedures.
10.2.3 Details of the University's requirements and procedures for the use of human or animal materials in practical classes are contained in Attachment 6 Laboratory Procedures When Handling Potential Infectious Materials in Practical Classes.
10.2.4 Details of the University's requirements and procedures for the handling of cadaveric material are available from the Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences.
10.3. Category C: Other Settings
10.3.1 Sports Facilities
10.3.1.1 The Sports Medicine Australia policy has been adopted by the University (refer to Attachment 7-Sports Medicine Australia Policy Infectious Diseases with Particular Reference to HIV(AIDS) and Viral Hepatitis (B, C etc)). In accordance with this policy the University requires that where bleeding occurs during sporting activity, the individual concerned must cease the activity immediately and the bleeding must be stopped and an occlusive dressing applied before the activity may be resumed. Participants who have been diagnosed with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or HIV, or who are at risk of acquiring these diseases are strongly advised to obtain confidential advice and clearance from a doctor prior to participation.
10.3.2 Childcare and Vacation Care
10.3.2.1 The Childcare Centres and Vacation Care facilities will adopt the Standard (Universal) Precautions Model and will operate in accordance with the procedures outlined in the Department of Health and Family Services publication Staying Healthy in Child Care -Preventing Infectious Diseases in Child Care 2nd Edition (1997) and in updates to that publication.
10.3.3 Residences
10.3.3.1 On campus student accommodation will adopt procedures consistent with the Standard (Universal) Precautions Model as outlined in Attachment 8 -Halls of Residence Infection Control Policy.
10.3.4 First-Aid Officers
10.3.4.1 All First Aid Officers are offered immunisation for Hepatitis B at University expense.
10.3.5 Other Staff
10.3.5.1 All gardeners, plumbers and other staff who may be at risk of infection are offered immunisation for Hepatitis B at University expense.
The University has adopted the guidelines on the management of blood spills detailed in Attachment 9 - Blood and Body Substance Spillsfor categories A to C above and all other University settings.
All instances of exposure to infectious or potentially infectious material will be reported, documented and followed up in accordance with approved occupational health and safety requirements for the University and the Health service (refer to Attachment 1 -Injury/Incident/Hazard Report Register and Attachment 2 -NSW Health Circular 98/11 Management of Health Care Workers Potentially Exposed to HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C).
Standard (Universal) Precautions Model - Standard (Universal) body substance precautions assume that the blood and body substances of all patients are potential sources of infection, independent of risk. This involves the use of protective barriers and practices to protect health care workers from parenteral, mucous membrane, and non-intact skin exposure to blood-borne pathogens
Mucous membranes - the lining of the mouth, nose and respiratory tract, the conjunctival membrane covering the eye, the gastrointestinal tract, and the urinogenital tract
Percutaneous injury - injury involving puncture of the skin by a sharp object [eg scalpel, syringe needle ("needlestick" injury), broken glass]
Body substances - blood, faeces, urine, sputum, saliva, wound drainage, and other body fluids and body tissue
Hypochlorite - A 1% hypochlorite solution (10,000 ppm available chlorine) is used to decontaminate areas where blood or other body substances have been spilt

Noy Thrupkaew is a Prospect senior correspondent.
Amour, Michael Haneke's latest film, is a horror story with a foregone conclusion.
Don't be fooled by the possibility of a kinder, gentler Michael Haneke. It would be easy to let down your guard given the title of his latest, gruelingly good film, Amour, and the release poster's image of a beautiful, aging woman's face cupped by loving hands. But Haneke has made a decades-long career out of crafting haute horror stories, and old habits die hard. As do the habits of Amour's octogenarian couple, struggling to hold on to routines as if that could stave off the inexorability of death.
Iranian director Jafar Panahi's latest film revels in the irony of making a film about being forbidden to make a film.
Director Jafar Panahi appears on screen for almost the entire duration of his latest film—making breakfast, getting bad news from his lawyer, staging an impromptu read-through of a script the Iranian government has forbidden him to shoot. Panahi is not directing, though—at least he's not supposed to be. As his cameraman and collaborator reminds him, even yelling "cut" would be considered an offense. The resulting footage is just as ontologically coy. The feature, which makes its U.S. debut this week, is titled This Is Not a Film.
In the beautiful A Separation, even the family is no refuge from society.
Who are you to judge? Another's life, the beliefs and attachments, rational and otherwise, that make up another's choices—how can anyone evaluate such things? Yet the arguing Iranian couple in A Separation demand judgment. They face the camera in the opening scene, a comely woman with dyed-red hair under her veil, and her bearded, exasperated husband. Simin (Leila Hatami) and Nader (Peyman Moadi) are presenting their case for divorce to an unseen magistrate and in turn, to us. She seeks a better life for their daughter abroad; he refuses to leave behind his home and his elderly father, who is stricken with Alzheimer's disease.
The Iron Lady, short on substance and long on sentimentality, is just the sort of film Margaret Thatcher would hate.
Director Lars von Trier's latest film asks: What do you do when the world's coming to an end?

Kevin Harvick's departure from Richard Childress Racing could open up the return of an iconic car.
Richard Childress alluded to bringing back the No. 3 car Monday night to the Sprint Cup Series during a stop on the NASCAR Media Tour on Monday night at Richard Childress Racing headquarters.
The move could be as soon as next season with the departure of Kevin Harvick from Richard Childress Racing. Ironically, Harvick took Dale Earnhardt's spot on the Cup Series after Earnhardt's death 13 years ago. Childress said if and when the No. 3 car comes back, it will be "family" behind the wheel.

Childress' two grandsons, Austin and Ty Dillon, race in the Nationwide Series. The No. 3 car hasn't run full-time in the Sprint Cup Series since Earnhardt's death. Childress didn't give a definitive timetable for bringing the car back.
Watch WDBJ7's newscasts Tuesday to hear more about the potential No. 3 car move.
South Boston native Jeff Burton talked about his 149-race winless streak. Burton said if he didn't think that he had the skills to win, he wouldn't still be driving.
Harvick, who will race for Stewart-Haas in 2014, talked about his impending departure from Richard Childress Racing. He and Childress both said that all good things must come to an end. Harvick talked about leaving good friends at RCR.
Mixed emotions – considering that's where Cup career started.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty are teaming up to promote a product.
Late Monday night the two appeared together at a news conference to announce a campaign to promote the headache powder Goody's.
Goody's is the title sponsor for Martinsville Speedway's Sprint Cup race on Oct. 27.
-------------------------------Stewart-Haas team owner Tony Stewart said he wouldn't give up any of his owner points so that Patrick would be able to qualify. That means each week, since Patrick is a new team, she will have to qualify based on speed.
"Her feedback from day one that we worked with her was incredible. A lot better than mine was. I was driving the car and didn't know what was going on," Stewart said. "Her feedback, she understands what the car is doing. She understands what she is feeling. That shows comfort. I think that's a sign that she's going to do really well, that she's that comfortable that quick."
2013 is a transitional year for Stewart Haas Racing as owner Tony Stewart adds Danica Patrick to his full time Cup Series lineup.
Last season was anything but comfortable for Stewart, who won three races. But two of those were in the first five weeks. Smoke finished 9th in the final points standings, his worst finish since 2008. And things weren't much better for teammate Ryan Newman. He won at Martinsville in the spring but not much else.
Newman is in the final year of his contract, and with Kevin Harvick set to join the organization next year, he knows he must perform at a high level.
"I just don't have the things done on paperwork to be able to say what I'm doing in 2014, which doesn't change the way that I drive this year," Newman said. "I give 100 percent each and every lap. There's no 110 percent, there's only 100 percent. I've always done that and I always will."

Model Elettra Wiedemann, daughter of Isabella Rossellini (international model and actress) and Jon Wiedemann, shares her favorite fashion picks from past years at the Met Ball.
Stay tuned tonight as she covers the 2012 Met Ball for Vogue.com.
"I am so excited to be hosting the first ever Live Stream of the Met Gala with Billy Norwich! I have had such a fun week prepping for the Live Stream, researching Schiaparelli and Prada, going in and out of the Vogue offices for meetings, and having 4 different fittings to find the right dress! I finally landed on a dress just this Wednesday. We have to do a little tailoring to it here and there, so will do another fitting this weekend. I really hope it looks amazing and can't wait to wear it! I am still planning my total look with hair and make-up. I have never done TV presenting before, so that needs to be taken into consideration and I am learning!"

WalkScore rates the most bike-friendly cities in America
Photo by Gary Rides Bikes via Flickr Creative Commons
Santa Monica is a bicycle-friendly town.
In case you missed it, today (May 17) is Bike to Work Day in Los Angeles (the day is celebrated nationally tomorrow by the League of American Bicyclists). In recognition of the day, L.A. County MTA is offering free rides on trains and busses to riders with their bikes and/or bike helmets.
With May being National Bike Month and all, website Walkscore has upgraded their services to include "Bike Score," rankings of the 10 most bike-friendly cities in America and Canada.
A review of the ranked American cities finds that only San Francisco made the top 10 to represent California, coming in a very respectable third in the rankings.
As reported by Treehugger, scores were "based on the availability of bike infrastructure (lanes and trails), the hilliness of the area, destinations and road connectivity, and the number of bike commuters."

In case you missed it, the League of American Bicyclists declared May 2012 as National Bike Month. Dubbed "an opportunity to celebrate the unique power of the bicycle and the many reasons we ride," the month is being highlighted by National Bike To Work Week (May 14 – 18), which culminates with National Bike To Work Day on Friday, May 18.
Locally, the L.A. County MTA is offering free rides on Metro buses and trains to cyclists who bring their bike and/or bike helmet with them on Thursday, May 17.
According to the San Fernando Sun, Culver CityBus, DowneyLINK, Glendale Beeline, LADOT, Montebello Bus Lines, Norwalk Transit, Pasadena ARTS, Santa Clarita Transit and Torrance Transit will also be offering free rides to commuters with a bike and/or bike helmet (although if you're riding a bike on Southland streets, you should really be wearing a helmet. If you're under 17, wearing a helmet is the law in California). Metro will be co-sponsoring 80 bicycle "pit stops" throughout L.A. County where riders can fuel up on snacks and the occasional giveaways (find exact locations here).

Below are answers to the most common questions regarding Aria Templates.
If you have a question that is not adressed here, don't hesitate and contact us.
What is Aria Templates? Is it a new library?
Aria Templates is an MVC Javascript framework based on client-side templating. AT provides a set of helpers that make it easier to develop web applications and, as a framework, enriches your code with familiar features inspired from common object-oriented concepts. It also is a powerful templating which make creating user interfaces a breeze.
Why come up with another JavaScript framework?
At the time AT started, client-side templating was a new and promising concept with no real useable implementation. Aria Templates has been designed from the ground up to be an enterprise grade framework that would shorten development cycles and be sufficiently robust to be used in production environments. You can read more about AT's background in our About section.
Under what license is AT available?
Aria Templates uses the Apache 2.0 License. More information is available on the license page.
What are the supported browsers?
All modern browsers are supported as well as IE down to version 7.
How do I...?
How do I create my first project?
You'll first need to download a copy of the framework here, then you can download one of the existing guides. To start a new project from scratch, install the Atgen utility.
How do I access DOM elements?
Aria Templates is designed so that you don't have to care about DOM micro-management, which is why you won't have to worry about that question.
How can I use framework/library X in my Aria Templates project?
Because of the way AT operates (sandboxing DOM access and refreshing it), using other JS libraries in your code might prove tricky at times. One solution to this is to use the embed widget to create a container that will not be managed by AT. Take a look at this article for more information.
How do I get syntax highlighting for my templates?
We're actively working on an IDE to make UI developers' life easier.
If you are an Eclipse user, you can already benefit from syntax highlighting and basic completion from the AT Eclipse plugin. Send us a message to get information on how to install it.
For Notepad++ or SublimeText users, we also have syntax highlighters available for you. Have a look at the editor-tools repository.
How to submit bug reports / suggestions?
If you find some problem, issue or bug, please report it here. If you want to contribute to AT everything is explained on this page. For general questions don't hesitate to drop us a message!
Common issues
Updating the data model does not trigger any refresh
You probably are modifying the data model directly instead of using the appropriate helpers. For example, bindings will not be notified if you type
this.data.score = 42;For this to work properly you need to write
aria.utils.Json.setValue(this.data, "score", 42);
I added a controller and my app stopped working
Chances are that your controller implements an init() method that doesn't complete properly. Remember that, because init can be implemented asynchronously, the framework has no way to tell when it finishes. To state that you're done, your init method must at one point call back the framework like this:
this.$callback(cb);The callback pattern is explained here.

Congrats on the baby boy!! I remember when they told me i was having a boy and then seeing and holding him for the first times was the best memories. Now my baby is two months time goes by soo fast. But every day is just wonderful. Its crazy how fast you just fall in love with them the moment they are born. Im just soo happy for you to creat your own memories soon with him. And May 8th is my moms birthday she loves that day cause every couple of years its her birthday on mother day.. If you have your baby by them it will be the best mother day gift you could ever get!
Mehgan-I just love the words that you shared with craziibaby. You are so very right about her baby boy being the best possible mothers day present. It's a wonderful time of year with all of the new life, flowers, and longer sunnier days. Since your kiddo is now two months old what is a piece of advice that you can offer craziibaby and our other expectant families in regard to the birth or the first weeks of motherhood?

I returned them...
January 30, 2014
...because they squeaked and weren't comfortable at all! They also look much cuter online than in person. I got the black ones and they just looked strange on my feet, maybe because my feet are so narrow? Also when I walked in them they would squeak weirdly and the 1 inch heel just looked so tacky.
Pros:I liked the pointed toe
Cons:uncomfortable, not that cute, tacky looking, squeaked

Dancers from Pam Rossi's Dance Ten studio in Moorpark participated and took home first, second and third places in the Co Dance Competition/ Convention in Los Angeles on Saturday April 21st. The competition involved twenty three dance studios from throughout California.
One of the competition judges, Tyce Diorio, is an Emmy award winning choreographer who is best known as a judge and choreographer for the hit T.V. show "So You Think You Can Dance." His work can also be seen in the 2012 motion picture What to Expect When You're Expecting, starring Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Matt Morrison and Dennis Quaid.
Diorio said he was impressed with Rossi's students, who placed first in the Senior Division for their dance "So It Is" choreographed by Rachel Dubusky. The dancers included Michelle Peters from Thousand Oaks High School, Courtney Scarr from Simi Valley High School, Alie Valery from Chaparral Middle School , and Tyler Watkins, Dominique Valery, Emily Sutton and Elizabeth Sutton all from Moorpark High School.
Another judge, Nancy O'Meara, is a noted dancer, choreographer, director, and mentor who is currently working with Miranda Cosgrove from the hit television iCarly, plus All Star Weekend, Jason Mraz, Colbie Caillat, Big Time Rush, and Greyson Chance. She has choreographed and directed world tours for artists Hilary Duff, Jesse MCCartney, Aly and AJ, and Vanessa Hudgens.
The Dance Ten dancers also took second and third places in the Junior Division. Those students were Jared Cardiel,Madison Yasenchok, Hannah Yasenchok, Helena Ordin, Alison Vartanian, Cara Cavarretta, Isabella Real, Carly Sutton, all from Moorpark and Camille Polk, Kaila Kawasaki, Alyssa Jan, Sophia Damiani from Simi Valley.
Three of Rossi's dancers, Hannah Yasenchok, Tyler Watkins, and Elizabeth Sutton, were awarded convention scholarships for their talents and skills. Tyler was invited to a dance agency. Elizabeth received a special award to study in New York at the Broadway Dance Center.
In addition, the dancers received the honor of performing their dance at the Teacher's Faculty Show following the convention.
The students got the opportunity to be seen by top choreographers and qualified judges by auditioning. It was a real honor and speaks volumes about the high level of training at Pam Rossi's Dance Ten.

Routemaster numbers to fall below 200
Related Articles
05 November 2004
Transport for London is replacing the classic open-back double-deckers with 18-metre bendy buses on route 12, leaving Routemasters running on only seven routes.
They will be removed entirely from normal service by the end of 2005 as part of Mayor Ken Livingstone's drive to have all buses fully accessible to wheelchair users in advance of European legislation.
TfL will also shorten the 12 route with the introduction of the £200,000 bendy buses. Running 24 hours a day from Dulwich, they will now terminate at Oxford Circus rather than running through to Notting Hill Gate.
But the 390 will be extended from Marble Arch to Notting Hill to provide an alternative to passengers. Services on the 148, which also runs along Bayswater Road, will also be increased. The decision to phase out Routemasters has been far more controversial than transport planners anticipated.
They underestimated the strong sentimental attachment felt by passengers and tourists alike to an iconic design which has become regarded as a London landmark.
Six of the 12 main London tourist guides feature a Routemaster on their covers - including the Time Out guide, the Amazon UK bestseller.
Ben Brook, of the Save The Routemaster campaign, said the appeal of the bus over its newer replacements was its "classic design".

Linus Says No Backdoor in Linux
Brief dust-up in the kernel community leads to an illuminating look at random number generation.
After the Snowden documents revealed that the NSA deliberately incorporates bugs into encryption software and hardware systems, some users and cryptography experts are taking a closer look at algorithms and processor instructions for generating random numbers.
Rdrand is an instruction for Ivy Bridge processors that returns a hardware-generated random value. According to Intel, the random number generator is compliant with the standards NIST SP800-90, FIPS 140-2, and ANSI X9.82 . Some experts speculate that NIST SP800-90 might contain a backdoor. Dual_EC_DRBG, one of the algorithms used by NIST SP800-90, is based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography and is three times slower than other alternative approaches. At the Crypto conference in August 2007, Dan Shumow and Niels Ferguson voiced allegations that the algorithm contains weaknesses that could be described as backdoors.
Kyle Condon from the UK filed a petition with Change.org to remove the support of Rdrand from the kernel. The petition states, "Please remove RdRand from /dev/random, to improve the overall security of the linux kernel."
However, the real story is a bit more complicated. Ted Ts'o announced last week on Google Plus that he was glad not to have given in to pressure from Intel. Intel had requested that the random number generation of /dev/random should rely exclusively on Rdrand, but Ts'o refused. Linus Torvald's answer to the petition follows his characteristic negative tone, stating the random number generation in the kernel does not depend on Rdrand alone:
"Where do I start a petition to raise the IQ and kernel knowledge of people? Guys, go read drivers/char/random.c. Then, learn about cryptography. Finally, come back here and admit to the world that you were wrong. Short answer: we actually know what we are doing. You don't. Long answer: we use Rdrand as _one_ of many inputs into the random pool, and we use it as a way to _improve_ that random pool. So even if Rdrand were to be back-doored by the NSA, our use of Rdrand actually improves the quality of the random numbers you get from /dev/random. Really short answer: you're ignorant."
Linus's caustic posts often have the effect of closing down the debate. In this case even seasoned kernel developers might not be eager to jump into the discussion unless they are experts in cryptography. To be fair, the headline for the petition at the Change.org site was a bit caustic also and probably started the whole thing off on the wrong footing: "Linux: A NSA Approved Partner."
As of now, the petition is closed with only five signatures, but at least one cryptography specialist has taken up the challenge to "go read drivers/char/random.c" and, although agreeing with the basic concept for using Rdrand, has offered a suggestion that might someday lead to improvements in the way Linux handles random number generation. Such is the way of the kernel – after all the politics, the real story comes down to programmers studying source code and looking for improvements.

The St. Catharine College men's basketball team is Kansas City bound after receiving its second bid in four years to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national tournament.
Boyle County
Last Saturday evening, the Washington County Commanders (1-1) lost 9-0 to a Boyle County Rebel (1-1) team that lost no seniors from last year's 18-14 squad.
The Commanders started senior Adam Smith on the mound, who pitched four innings and gave up six runs.
Junior Jacob Howard pitched the next three innings and allowed three runs.
Head coach Derek Schuler cited the defense behind his pitchers as the main factor in allowing so many runs.
When head coach Scotty Burns took over WC's tennis program at the beginning of the school year, he didn't know quite what to expect.
But after seeing his team hang tough with two of the better teams in the region (Marion Co. and Taylor Co.) this past week, he knows that big things could be in store.
In only two games this season, the Washington County Commanderette softball team (2-0) has already scored 38 runs, a feat that last year's squad didn't reach until its fifth contest.
Twenty-four of those runs were scored in Saturday's 24-11 win against the Paris Lady Hounds (0-2), but for head coach Paul Coulter, the key to the victory was his team's speed and their ability to draw walks.

For our show and tell this month, we would like to share this photo of the plaid fabric we spoke of last month. The plaid ended up as a shirt and turned out better than expected. We had one happy hubby and one extremely relieved wifey!
Blood donors are everyday heroes who help save lives. During March, Red Cross Month, the American Red Cross recognizes these lifesavers, thanks them for their generosity and encourages others to join their ranks.
Courtney Krisher will be forever grateful for the donors who helped save her brother, Lucas. The siblings, who are both members of the U.S. military, had given blood together just a few months before Lucas was in a motorcycle accident. He was rushed to the hospital with extensive internal bleeding and received four pints of blood.

What is an environmentalist?
In this past Monday's special-called meeting of Washington County Fiscal Court, one of the main topics of discussion dealt with the lack of trash pick-ups last week during the inclement weather.
District 4 Magistrate Morris Sweazy, who told Washington County Solid Saste/Recycling Coordinator Brad Langford that several of his constituents had voiced concern that their trash had not been taken away by Rumpke during last week's ice storm, initiated the conversation.
Sometimes a great opportunity leads to other, even greater opportunities.
That's certainly the case for Washington County High School junior Rachel Cook, who has her sights set on a unique chance this summer.
Cook is a dual-enrolled student at WCHS and Western Kentucky University's Carol Martin Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science, which allows 60 juniors in Kentucky to expedite their education and embrace new experiences each year.

Astounding..land a lot of people on both sides of segregation who experienced it are still alive. Mind-blowing, thank you for posting this.
Recently The Gordon Parks Foundation discovered over 70 unpublished photographs by Parks at the bottom of an old storage box wrapped in paper and marked as "Segregation Series." These never before series of images not only give us a glimpse into the everyday life of African Americans during the 50′s but are also in full color, something that is uncommon for photographs from that era.

He sits on the second row. The moment he gave up the throne, he moved back to the second row. It suits him there. His journey makes sense from there. He is as close to the ushers as the superstars. He is midway between his deepest roots and wildest dreams.
"I'm the guy you look at and say, 'Oh,' " said Bernie Bickerstaff, his gap-toothed smile widening. "You see me and say, 'Oh, him.' I'm the forgotten guy. I'm the guy who just does his job."
In a young Lakers season dominated by coaching narratives, the most compelling cannot be found along the beach with Phil Jackson, or on crutches with Mike D'Antoni, but in that second row, in the thick mountain drawl of the gray-haired man who traveled unimaginable miles to get there.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Bernie Bickerstaff will celebrate Thanksgiving with the greatest winning percentage of any former Lakers coach, and you laugh, and he laughs, but those five games he served as the interim boss between Mike Brown and D'Antoni were a triumphant lap in a lifelong trip across a landscape of poverty and racism.
In quieting Lakers chaos and leading them to a 4-1 record that may eventually represent four of the most important wins of the season, Bickerstaff traveled from a Kentucky mining hollow to Hollywood. From a gravel court and coat hanger rim to Staples Center. From childhood outhouses to basketball's penthouse.
"Growing up the way I grew up, you get through all that, this is like candy," he said.
When he gives thanks today, Bickerstaff, 68, will marvel how a black child who was forbidden to eat or drink with whites could lead a team that dazzles a huge diverse fan base. He will ponder how a black child who was ordered to walk quietly to the back of every bus could stalk the most glittering of NBA sidelines.
He grew up in a tiny house with no plumbing or phone in a Benham, Ky., neighborhood that was called, "colored town," yet suddenly he was leading a team with the most royal colors in sports? As a player for a tiny junior college in Ohio, he was benched for being black, yet now he was ordering the benching of some of the greatest players on one of the grandest stages in sports?
Oh, him? Yeah, him.
"Bitterness is kind of a wasted emotion, isn't it?" Bickerstaff asked. "You never forget, but you ride it out in a different way."
In a 10-day period, he took over an unhappy team with a 1-4 record and rode out his tenure with uncommon humor, humility and grace. He began his first news conference with feigned shock and a loudly whispered expletive at the number of cameras. He promptly announced that, "I just want to stay out of the way." He joked about being "day to day" and being paid in popsicles. The organizational relief was palpable.
He was the perfect man for the impossible situation, seamlessly bridging the gap between the shock of the Brown firing, the disappointment at the failure to hire Jackson, and the uncertainty over the arrival of D'Antoni.
"He is the consummate professional," said Kobe Bryant, the consummate professional who can offer no bigger compliment.
By Monday, with D'Antoni set to coach his first game, Bickerstaff had already virtually disappeared, slipping back into the anonymous role of a sage, quietly roaming the practice floor with notes on a card stuck in the front of his sweat pants.
"Who knows, maybe eventually I'll get a couple of popsicles," he said.
There is a reason Bickerstaff refers to popsicles as if they were gold. At one point in his life, they were. After his mother moved to New York to find work, he was reared by his grandparents in a tiny house owned by International Harvester, which ran the nearby coal mine where his grandfather worked for 35 years before the job killed him.
"He got a gold pin and black lung," said Bickerstaff.
His family not only struggled with things like coal heaters and outhouses, but also with 1940's era segregation. Bickerstaff never regularly mixed with whites until after he graduated from an all-black high school with a class of 14. He engaged in fights with kids who called him names while learning to adjust to adults who acted like he didn't exist. Then there was the day when, as a star basketball player, he leaned into the all-white stands while chasing a loose ball in a basketball game against a team from a nearby mountain community.
Wanting to test the local belief that blacks had tails, one fan pulled down Bickerstaff's pants.
And he's going to sweat a Dwight Howard missed free throw?

kind of a shame that TA&M moved to SEC this year. If they'd stayed in the Big12, they'd be undefeated and playing Alabama for the Natl Championships next week. We know how that would turn out.
The story of one night in the postseason, as told through social media:
Johnny Manziel spotted sitting courtside for Texas A&M game.
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 5, 2013
Before kickoff, there might not be an empty seat in all of Cowboys Stadium. Ridiculous crowd.
— David Ubben (@davidubben) January 5, 2013
Veteran press box observer notes that #SEC team has never lost in Cowboys Stadium, and that #TAMU has never won here #somethingsgottogive
— Brad Marquardt (@bradthejag) January 4, 2013
@bryandfischer Have you seen the Red River game the last few years? Texas does whatever the hell Oklahoma tells it to these days.
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) January 5, 2013
Watching the guy in the horse suit running just behind Oklahoma's actual horses is kind of depressing.
— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 5, 2013
@ry_hudson John Sports
— Danger Guerrero (@DangerGuerrero) January 5, 2013
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 5, 2013
Oklahoma, I can't blame you. I'd just stop and watch too. #johnnyfootball
— Luke Zimmermann (@lukezim) January 5, 2013
The great part about Manziel: he spent forever in the pocket before deciding to embarrass everyone and jet into the secondary.
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 5, 2013
Oklahoma already calling a "nothing is working and we're tired" timeout? Gonna be a long night fellas.
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 5, 2013
Sort of amazing that both of these teams run Holgo's offense while his own team is in disarray
— Smart Football (@smartfootball) January 5, 2013
well he's not the bellthrowzer
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 5, 2013
Mack Brown offered the HELLO kid as a safety
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 5, 2013
Why does every QB wearing a white jersey throw interceptions off back foot in Cowboys Stadium?
— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) January 5, 2013
When you hold A&M scoreless 2 straight drives, you better take the lead … because you're probably not stopping them a 3rd straight time.
— Bill Connelly (@SBN_BillC) January 5, 2013
Landry Jones let out one of those primal tennis screams when he threw that ball. I like to think he always does that.
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 5, 2013
Johnny Manziel keeps passing like this and he will be a slot receiver in the NFL
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) January 5, 2013
If you haven't seen them in person, TAMU's band is incredible. Like a live, military- themed infinite screensaver.
— edsbs (@edsbs) January 5, 2013
Oklahoma, you can't punt. You need to start using all your downs.
— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) January 5, 2013
Never seen a QB with more time to throw than manziel has tonight. Unreal. Could read a book back there w/o being disturbed.
— T.J. Moe (@TJMoe28) January 5, 2013
Johnny Manziel has set a Classic single-game rushing record for a QB with 169 rushing yards. #ATTCBC
— AT&T Cotton Bowl (@ATTCottonBowl) January 5, 2013
Johnny Manziel is killing the Sooners and the Heisman Jinx. He is unreal.
— Bruce Feldman (@BFeldmanCBS) January 5, 2013
#NSFW RT @jasonkirksbn: LET'S! RT @lukezim: Oh god, imagine if Texas-Texas A&M had been this matchup.
— Brian Floyd (@BrianMFloyd) January 5, 2013
End of the 3Q and Texas A&M is obviously the better team tonight, leading 34-13. #CottonBowl
— SI College Football (@si_ncaafb) January 5, 2013
BREAKING: That HELLO! running back just decommitted from OU
— Bunkie Perkins (@FOTProgram) January 5, 2013
Lord knows he has it. RT @gkketch: If I was Mack, I'd pay Mike Sherman 3 million a year as a consultant to pick my linemen in recruiting.
— Luke Zimmermann (@lukezim) January 5, 2013
Don't let it end. What the hell do we do until 8/31/13?
