EXCLUSIVE VISION: The moments before Geoff Shaw altercation
My views on the Member for Fankston Geoff Shaw are very well known
I think he is a political bully.
I think he should not be in the Parliament.
And I think he is a traitor to the people of Frankston because he was elected a Liberal and now spends his days frustrating a Liberal government.
That's what I think.
But now I believe there is even more reason to doubt the bona fides of the Member for Frankston.
I have been leaked a video, and it raises very serious questions about this man.
It is a video that I believe is now also in the hands of the Victoria Police and the Parliamentary Privileges Committee.
And it is here.
Although we have seen video of the incident before, we have never seen the lead-up.
This video is from security cameras placed around the state Parliament.
It goes back to October last year and the ugly scenes involving Geoff Shaw and the taxi drivers who were protesting on the steps of Parliament.
Several of those drivers now face charges but that is a matter for the courts. Four of them were charged including two men in their mid-seventies.
That is not what I am talking about.
Geoff Shaw has always claimed that he was simply going about his business trying to get up the front steps when this turned ugly and he was attacked.
In fact, in a statement on his own website, which is still there, he says: "Today I was walking up the front steps of Parliament House when I observed taxi operators protesting."
Well, when you look at this video there is reason to doubt that.
There is reason to question whether in fact Geoff Shaw went out of his way to confront the protestors and perhaps even provoke them.
The video clearly shows him walking along the street and into the side entrance of Parliament House on Spring Street the south end of the building.
This leads to the back door where most other members of Parliament apparently entered that day.
As he is walking to this entrance he seems to twice look towards the front steps where the protest was underway and the media was gathered.
Mr Shaw proceeds to the side entrance, heading to the back of Parliament House.
And when he is almost to the door - probably about 20 yards away - he suddenly turns and goes back on his tracks to the side gate and out on to Spring Street.
There he turns right and heads down towards the front steps and the protest.
He appears to wave his hands at the protestors and then climbs up the steps where the altercation occurs.
Now - why?
Why did he head towards the side door apparently after seeing the protesters and apparently change his mind?
Did he deliberately provoke them?
Did he deliberately confront them?
Was it part of a stunt?
Why was it good enough for other members of Parliament to use that entrance on that day?
Why was it good enough for Mr Shaw to intend to do exactly that - to avoid the protest - and then suddenly change his mind and walk into a confrontation?
Was it deliberate?
Only he knows, and only he can say.
He won't talk to me - he never does - although the offer is there. We called his office about this late yesterday.
But he must answer this at some stage.
It goes to the heart of his credibility and indeed what he has said to his own electorate.
As I said, this tape has been, I believe, handed to police and to the privileges committee.
That is not to say he has done anything wrong.
But it is to say he has questions to answer.
And if he won't answer me, at least he must answer the committee or the police.

You've heard of plenty of all-in-one devices, so here's an interesting all-in-one piece: the RHT-G900 A/V furniture coming from Sony Japan in May, designed for its Bravia line of TVs up to 46 inches.
If you don't have room for a booming sound system with tower speakers and mega subwoofer, don't fret. This baby comes with built-in left, center and right speaker channels and a subwoofer right in the rack. And there's 5.1-channel virtual surround provided by the S-Force PRO technology.
The RHT-G900 also features HDMI inputs, digital audio inputs, digital media port, preset equalizers and a digital audio decoder that can do Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG-2, AAC and PCM.
Dimensions for this 119-pound unit are roughly 44 by 16 by 19 inches. We're taking the word from Hifi-ring.com, which hopefully translated Sony's Japanese press release pretty well.
Sorry, no details of cost or shipment to the U.S.

One of the ideas being floated around right now has Mark Henry doing his rumored heel turn at Hell in a Cell 2014. WWE has planted the seeds by having Henry helping Big Show out in his feud against Alexander Rusev and Lana. The belief is that management wants to use the feud to put Rusev closer to the main event scene, while protecting Big Show, which can be done if Henry turns and costs him the match at the pay per view.
October 15, 2014
After doing a heel turn and joining the Bullet Club not too long ago, Jeff Jarrett returned to New Japan and continued the story line this week. The former world heavyweight champion crashed a press conference and declared himself as the Chairman of the Bullet Club. Jarrett has a business relationship with New Japan, so the story could transition over to Global Force Wrestling as well.
October 13, 2014
Those that watched Summerslam 2014 saw Nikki Bella doing her much rumored heel turn. She is expected to work in that role on television going forward. However, WWE did something peculiar at a live event in Sacramento over the weekend. Nikki worked as a baby face. She teamed up with Emma to defeat Alicia Fox and Layla El. The face team even attacked Rosa Mendes, who was portraying a heel character. No word yet on why WWE opted to do this.
August 24, 2014
During a recent video interview with Supertraining Gym in Sacramento, John Cena was asked about a potential heel turn, something that fans have been speculating about for years online. The former WWE champion flat out stated that it will never happen. Cena said that he had it in him to make it work, but management will never pull the trigger on such a move because it does not make sense for business.
August 24, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
There are those backstage in WWE that are skeptical of the idea of doing a heel turn for Kofi Kingston, who has long been regarded as the ultimate baby face. Since he does a lot of the charity work for the company, some are afraid that it will affect that aspect of his job as well. There are rumors floating around that WWE does not have finalized plans for the new stable that also consists of Xavier Woods and Big E Langston.
July 26, 2014
One of the ideas being floated around backstage in WWE is to turn Nikki Bella into a heel. The story would be that Stephanie McMahon finally gets to her by getting Nikki to believe that Brie Bella has left her hanging. Nikki would grow tired of being abused by the Authority, so she ends up doing a heel turn against her sister. The story would more than likely be featured on Total Divas as well.
July 22, 2014
In a sign that management might have forgiven her, Emma was not only given a match on WWE Main Event this week, but she was also given a victory over Cameron, who recently did a heel turn. Rumors floated around that the company was not going to be utilizing her on television after she was arrested for shoplifting, but it looks like WWE is attempting to avoid further attention to the incident by going about as usual.
July 16, 2014
Earlier in the year, WWE had plans on doing a heel turn for Sheamus, in order to bring a little more life back into his stale character. The company even attempted the move on television, but it was botched and the majority of fans did not realize that it had taken place. Rumors going around now is that WWE has completely scrapped the idea. Sheamus will continue to work as a baby face US champion until they can decide on something for him to do.
July 6, 2014
With AJ Lee finally making her return to WWE, the competition in the divas division just got a bit tougher. Someone is going to be losing television time. Naomi Knight and Cameron appear to be safe, as they have a heel turn story line in progress. Summer Rae and Layla El appear to have their weekly television spots secured for the time being. Paige is going to be working a program against AJ, so she should be fine. The belief is that Alicia Fox will be the one demoted, even though her character was gaining a little bit of momentum over the last couple of weeks.
July 5, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Cameron will be doing a heel turn at Money in the Bank 2014. She will more than likely cost Naomi Knight her chance at the WWE Divas Championship. There is also speculations that the incident will then lead to a triple threat match at WWE Battleground 2014, which would also feature Paige as the champion still.
June 27, 2014
While it has yet to reach television, the heel turn for the Miz has been going for a couple of weeks now at WWE live events. It also appears that he will be given a new gimmick to work with upon his return to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. Miz has been testing out a new heel persona, where he plays a cocky movie star. It's a play on real life, as the former WWE champion recently completed a new film.
June 22, 2014
In a sign of how quickly the heel turn decision was made, WWE still has yet to figure out what new gear Seth Rollins will be wearing now that he is a solo performer. That is one of the reasons why he still continues to wear the same gear as his former partners in the Shield, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. Since it is viewed as one of the top priorities backstage, you can expect WWE to produce something new for him to wear soon enough.
June 13, 2014
Rumors going around is that WWE decided to do a heel turn for Seth Rollins at the last minute because they wanted to generate some hype and spike up the television ratings. If that's the case, then management is sure to be disappointed because Monday Night Raw actually lost some viewers this week. It wasn't a big loss, but many were expecting a huge increase.
June 11, 2014
Now that he is done filming his movie, the Miz is expected to be back on Monday Night Raw this week. The former WWE champion jumped back on the road over the weekend and worked a live event match against Sheamus. The belief is that he was warming up for the return tonight. Rumors have been floating around that Miz will also be doing a heel turn upon his return.
June 9, 2014
Ever since the shocking heel turn by Seth Rollins against Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns took place on Monday Night Raw, there has been a lot of speculations as to when WWE would have the former Shield partners fighting one another. As of right now, the strongest rumors are that Rollins and Ambrose will be facing one another at Money in the Bank 2014, while Rollins and Reigns will have their match at WWE Battleground 2014.
June 8, 2014
There have been sparse rumors over the last year that WWE was going to do a heel turn with the Miz, and it looks like that might be happening soon. While working a live event in Wisconsin over the weekend, Miz did a match against Sheamus. The former world heavyweight champion even cut a heel promo, which is viewed by many as practice before doing it on television.
June 8, 2014
Reports are surfacing now that Vince McMahon made the decision to do a heel turn with Seth Rollins on Sunday afternoon, shortly before Payback 2014. The belief is that he pulled the trigger on the move as a response to the low ratings that Monday Night Raw has received over the last couple of weeks. WWE is hoping that this provides a quick boost to the numbers.
June 5, 2014
Ever since it happened on Monday Night Raw, WWE fans have been raving about the Seth Rollins heel turn because it was considered a surprise to many. The reason for that, however, is because it was a surprise to those backstage as well. The script for the show did not include that segment initially. John Cena and Kane were supposed to be in the final spot, but WWE quickly changed their minds and had Rollins turn on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns instead.
June 4, 2014
In a pleasantly surprising move on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins did an unexpected heel turn and betrayed the Shield. As Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were preparing to face off with Triple H and Randy Orton, Rollins shocked the WWE Universe by nailing his longtime partners with several steel chair shots. He stood tall with Orton and HHH afterwards to end the episode.

April 20, 2014
In one of the more awkward moments at the hall of fame, Mr T had his induction speech cut short when WWE sent out Kane. The A-Team star took to Twitter to vent a bit about the situation, where he stated that his speech really wasn't too long at all. He reiterated that his mother told him to stand up for what he believed in and has vowed to post the remainder of his speech online somewhere.
April 10, 2014
In a rather interesting move, there were minimal Wrestlemania 30 celebrities involved in the pay per view. WWE generally likes having as many famous faces around as possible, in an attempt to generate interest from the mainstream media, but the company opted to focus more on wrestling this year. Mr T was the most featured celebrity on the show this year.
April 7, 2014
Since Lita and Mr T went especially long in their segments, it was very obvious to many that Scott Hall had to rush through his hall of fame induction speech. WWE officials were very concerned backstage at the event, and they informed Hall of the situation. That was the reason why Kevin Nash made his joke onstage about having to rush through things.
April 5, 2014
A slightly embarrassing situation took place during the Mr T induction speech during the hall of fame ceremony tonight. He spent quite a bit of time talking about his childhood and his mother as opposed to telling any wrestling related stories. WWE tried to resolve the situation by sending Kane out there to let Mr T know that he was over the time limit.
April 5, 2014
Every year, a couple of people within WWE are forced to miss the hall of fame induction ceremony because the company needs to keep the Axxess shows going. This year, Hornswoggle is going to be one of those people. He will be manning a booth while Jake Roberts, Ultimate Warrior, Scott Hall, Lita, Carlos Colon, Paul Bearer and Mr T are inducted.
April 5, 2014

April 3, 2014
Since the company wants to make full use of him being back, Hulk Hogan is expected to induct Mr T into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 30. Aside from their obvious connection, management also believes that this combination has the best chance of receiving some mainstream media attention for the event. Roddy Piper was a consideration as well.
April 2, 2014
After a lot of speculations over the last couple of weeks, it has now been confirmed that WWE will indeed induct Mr T into their hall of fame during Wrestlemania 30. The company has been trying to get him on board along with Hulk Hogan, so that they can promote the inaugural Wrestlemania event, where Mr T was in the main event match.
March 17, 2014
While the company has attempted to bring him in for Wrestlemania 30, it appears that WWE has not been able to come to terms on a contract with Mr T to make that happen. There are rumors that the deal is done and is being kept a secret, but this is not something that Vince McMahon would keep under wraps. Mr T would be quite the marketing asset for the pay per view.
March 17, 2014
There has been a lot of speculations since it was revealed that Hulk Hogan would be making a big announcement on Monday Night Raw next week in regards to Wrestlemania 30. The hot rumor right now is that the former world heavyweight champion will be announcing that Mr T and Roddy Piper are going to be involved in the pay per view with him.
March 5, 2014
In a move designed to generate mainstream media attention for Wrestlemania 2, Roddy Piper and Mr T engaged in a scripted boxing match, which ended in a disqualification when Piper hit Mr T with a body slam.
April 7, 1986
In the historic main event of Wrestlemania 1, Hulk Hogan and Mr T, accompanied by Jimmy Snuka, took on Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff, who were accompanied by Bob Orton. Hogan managed to get pin fall victory after Orton accidentally hit Orndorff with his cast from the top ropes. WWE had several celebrities involved in the event.

How come every conversation about education starts with "the problem in education is…."? If we take a step back, then we can see education as an opportunity, to inspire our children to love learning, so that they can grow into what they were meant to be. And if it's all about leadership and inspiration, then why are we focusing all our energy on what content needs to be taught in the classroom, while we miss the essential element – the teacher, who determines whether children love learning or lose interest as more content is shoved down their throats?
How do we recognise great teachers who inspire others?
We all remember a teacher, who made a difference in our lives, who inspired and shaped our future – but very often we don't have the confidence to thank the teacher, before we leave school. So, now you have the chance to make an impact. Nominate a great teacher, or ask your children which teacher they love and help them to nominate this teacher, so that we don't lose these great teachers. The Stars in Education Teachers Awards is designed to recognise those teachers, who are great role models in the classroom and their communities and who inspire others with their actions. They understand that:
"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." —William Butler Yeats
The fire is starting on social media
The Stars in Education Teachers Awards has just been launched on a range of social and digital media platforms so, join us in encouraging teachers to believe in their value, and entering great teachers. October is the month for celebrating teachers, so it's now that we can say thanks to that special teacher that made a difference in our lives, by honouring teachers out there, who share their light with others, who go beyond filling buckets, to inspire learners to be more than they thought they could be. If you need any inspiration, watch some of the previous winners on youtube, as they share what the campaign has done for them, their learners and their communities.
It's about working together to improve education
The Stars in Education Teachers Awards is supported by social leaders: Pearson, SACE, SADTU, Mindset TV and MetroFM, who understand that we need to work together to support the Government and social transformation. The impact of the campaign extends far beyond a competition. Leading NGO's who do grass roots work with the campaign receive media support from Argo and leading brands make social investment decisions, based on their exposure to the winning teachers. Pitso Kekana, the head of Corporate Citizenship for Samsung South Africa explains that:
"Had it not been for Argo and the Stars in Education Teacher Awards, Samsung would not have found the School located 80 kilometres from Polokwane's city centre where the 2013 Stars in Education Teachers Awards winner, Dungile Maponyane teaches. Samsung has donated a Smart Classroom, equipped with 40 tablets, a printer, eBoard and more to Bathokwa Secondary. The handover of the Smart Classroom takes place during October, to celebrate teachers".
"Winning the 2013 Stars in Education Awards is one of the greatest opportunities I ever had in my life. It has opened doors of success and recognition for the DTMSC project. Educators it takes effort and passion to do extra work to help the community in either way, do it, face the challenges and never quit" says Dungile Maponyane.

The headlines about the South African education system often tell of challenges and poor performance, however, South Africa is home to some of the most innovative and creative education solutions. There is a way to address the needs of the system if disparate players can come together and work effectively. This is the vision behind the Center for Education Innovations (CEI).
Access to quality education for all is a global imperative, however, providing this is fraught with complexity, especially in low-income countries. While a handful of innovations capture global attention, there is little information on the scale, scope and impact of the numerous organisations and social enterprises that make up the non-state sector in education. To meet this need, Results for Development Institute (R4D) launched CEI comprising global hubs with a focus on developing countries, namely India, Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa.
These hubs aim to identify innovations in their own and neighbouring countries, and produce analysis of trends, policy and successful programme implementation. The CEI South Africa hub is hosted by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business. The Bertha Centre was established in 2011 in partnership with the Bertha Foundation as the first centre of excellence in social innovation in Africa.
The centre links robust research and academia with practical interventions. "We need to be prepared to step outside of our comfort zones, do things differently, collaborate more and take risks if we want to find a way out of our education crisis," said Dr François Bonnici, founding director of the Bertha Centre.
Sharing best practice and facilitating collaboration is central to the work of CEI through the creation of a virtuous cycle in which innovative programme managers provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on their activities; monitoring and evaluation strategies as well as results to be accessed by funders and other potential partners to facilitate collaboration.
More than 100 South African initiatives are currently profiled on the CEI website. CEI also serves as an up-to-date, comprehensive resource for researchers and policymakers. It aims to enrich the debate on what works and what does not work in education through systematically identifying, analysing and connecting the full spectrum of education innovations, including programmes and policies implemented by non-governmental organisations, private non-profit and for-profit entities, government or in partnership with government.
Molly Blank, a documentary filmmaker and author, recently working with Jonathan Jansen, vice chancellor of the University of the Free State, to create a short-film series and book, How to Fix South Africa's Schools, says about CEI: "There is an incredible amount of innovation and activity in education and CEI is tracking and harnessing innovation to improve education across the board. Their work on building collaboration across institutions is one crucial element in improving schools and it is something that the principals that I met are already trying to do."
Joy Olivier of Ikamva Youth, an initiative hugely successful in improving matric pass rates in low-income communities, echoed this belief in the importance of CEI's work: "It is like internet dating for education organisations. I am hoping to find partners around the world through CEI to help us scale our model locally. Collaboration brings real learning and this can be frustrating and uncomfortable but that is where innovation happens."
As CEI enters its second year, the South African hub will continue to identify projects to profile on the web platform as well as hosting a series of events for NGOs, funders, government and academics to connect as we recognise the importance of celebrating the success stories, extracting the lessons and facilitating partnerships. These events will also explore research presented by leaders in the education space like Nic Spaull and Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab for Africa (J-PAL). The coming months will see the development of the analysis aspect of the hub's work with a country brief and in-house research products.

Being part of the twenty first century and the technology it offers deems an uncertain and sometimes scary future, but not necessarily for our youth as they are an integral part of the way technology is shaping our future. Children nowadays are digital natives and for them the future isn't moving at a fast enough pace. Technology is part of their everyday lives and many of them are adept at Internet research, cell phone browsing, social sharing, navigating through interactive books and multi media production. Thus this dooming technology, as we sometimes perceive it, is providing valuable support in attaining reading and writing skills.
In literacy, instruction technology has both traditional and authentic uses, the traditional instruction implies skills reinforcement; for example, students who need additional practice in reading might work individually on computers that are equipped with reading-comprehension software. Whereas the authentic instruction will be using technology to achieve a complex task; for example students who need to write an essay will need the internet for research and word processing tools to write and format text.
Considering assistive technology is no longer a subject to linger about, but one that is vital to help those that struggle with reading related issues such as; reading fluency, comprehension and decoding. Assistive technology that assist with reading fall into several categories:

Pretoria – Basic Education Minister, Angie Motshekga, says her department will prioritise the working conditions of teachers, including their professional development.
Presenting the department's budget vote in Parliament on Tuesday, the minister said her department, together with the Department of Higher Education and Training, was working to strengthen this very important area of work. She said the department would also focus on the conditions of employment, recruitment, deployment and utilisation.
"In partnership with Vodacom, we have equipped and connected 40 teacher centres across the nine provinces," Minister Motshekga said.
A total of 31 of these teacher centres were equipped and connected in the last financial year and Vodacom will further equip and connect 20 new teacher centres in this financial year. This means that a total of 60 teacher centres will be fully digitised by the end of this financial year. The Vodacom Mobile Education Programme is a nationwide teacher development initiative to improve the quality of instruction in all subjects at every level, with particular emphasis on Mathematics, Mathematical Literacy and Physical Science in Grades 10 to 12.
The teacher professional development training focuses on ICT Literacy, as well as the effective use and integration of digital content in the classroom. – SAnews.gov.za

The finalists for the 2014 Future Stars Awards finalists have been announced and profiled on www.SAstudy.co.za since the middle of May 2014. These 2014 Future Stars Awards finalists inspire us to believe in the future of South Africa and we celebrate them during the month of June, as part of our Youth Day Celebrations.
The youth talk of hope, perseverance and hard work, even though life is hard for them. Divorce, death of family and not having the financial resources to study are facts of life. So is going to bed hungry. Yet, they dream of achieving, so that they can succeed to look after their mothers, make a difference in their communities and be role models for others. They don't let circumstances hold them back –they've figured out how to fund their studies and how to use technology to get their friends to vote for them. They are the Future Stars – they inspire us to believe in the future of South Africa. They are not the "entitled" youth, we so often accuse them of being – they are hard working, hopeful, and willing to make our future better.
The judging event of the 2014 Future Stars Awards took place on 11th of June 2014, campaign sponsors as well as guest judges were assigned to score these top 10 finalists based on specific campaign criteria.
The 2014 Future Stars winner, Kabelo Mohlatlole (18), from Polokwane believes his key to success is to turn threats into opportunities and to keep a hopeful and victorious outlook on life. He is still currently at school and dreams of becoming a journalist after he has completed Matric this year. He is currently living his dream by writing articles for a local mine magazine on issues happening in his community as well as motivational poetry for learners. He is currently a member of the Youth Leaders organisation at his school and helps other learners to make informed decisions on their career paths.
Coming in close second, is Keaton Harris (19), from Cape Town, who places value in hard work, determination, strong family bonds and an enduring faith in his God. He believes that his positive attitude results from never taking his "eyes off the prize", which is helping him focus on his goals rather than his obstacles. He dreams of becoming a cardio-thoracic surgeon by studying medicine at Wits.
Don Maisels (18), the third runner up is also from Cape Town and believes perseverance, empathy and respect are keywords to live by. He is dreaming of becoming a doctor and is living it by being involved in community service projects for disabled individuals.
Ishmael Ramushu (21), from Polokwane who maintains a strong belief in himself and believes in mustering the courage and leaving no stone unturned in working towards one's dream. "One must never give up or compromise one's values".
Tholinhlanhla Thwala (21), in 5th place from Ingwavuma is also community focused and dreams of becoming a CEO for an HIV/AIDS organisation and is studying a Bachelor of Social Sciences, while working towards promoting campus health.

The Future Stars Awards is an initiative that is focused on inspiring leadership and confidence in the future. This innovative campaign was created to inspire our future stars – and others to realise that our youth are phenomenal. Simply by sharing their dreams online on www.SAstudy.co.za – and then getting their friends and other youth to vote for them, they are sharing their inspiring stories and motivating others to dream of a better future, by focusing on the power of education to change their circumstances.
Argo, the multimedia publisher behind the Future Stars Awards, believes in inspiring impact in South Africa– and engages with committed brand leaders TSB Sugar, Mindset TV, Metro FM, Eduloan and NYDA to build confidence in our future as well as the youth that will create the future. Priizes were sponsored by Eduloan, Van Schaik Bookstore, Massmart and Argo.

Not glimpsed in The DJBooth since August 2011, when he introduced himself with philosophically-inclined promo joint Know Who We Are, TiDUS makes his grand re-entrance with freshly-minted video single Delancey. Named after one of the main thoroughfares in Manhattan's Lower East Side, the record showcases the NYC rhymesayer's skills on both sides of the boards; over his own driving four-on-the-floor percussion and low-key synths, TiDUS delivers engagingly-flowed verses depicting the ins and outs of his paper chase. As if that weren't enough, he hooks up with director Ursula Mann to create an official video documenting a journey via skateboard through Manhattan during the recent, historic blackout. This promo cut isn't attached to any forthcoming project, but those who like what they're hearing can stay tuned for all the latest from the Northeastern buzzmaker.

I like to buy an unadorned pine wreath for my door and then decorate it myself. This year I decided on quite a subtle theme with eryngium and blue clematis brought from the florist. It did look lovely against our green front door, but maybe a touch too subtle, especially once the light starts to fade, so I popped down to Robert Dyas and bought some battery operated Noma lights. Just the finishing touch that was needed.

Zinsser introduced Zinsser Smart Prime, a water-based primer formulated with a proprietary resin system designed to resist re-wetting and stains from water and water-soluble stains.
The product is reported to offer performance properties such as superior flow and leveling and substrate penetration, and effective sealing of all oil-soluble stains such as grease, crayon, tar, and asphalt. The product also offers rapid dry time, exterior flexibility, soap and water cleanup in a low-odor, low-VOC formula, and adhesion to various surfaces, included dense, glossy surfaces such as enamel paints and varnishes, paneling, laminates, or ceramic tile.
Tannin-blocking capability makes the product a good choice for priming cedar, redwood, and other new wood substrates, the company says. Other recommended applications include bare or painted surfaces such as drywall, aluminum, vinyl, steel, galvanized metal, and PVC.
The product also seals porous surfaces, such as cured plaster, concrete, stucco, and masonry, and binds chalky siding and trim. Other properties include a high degree of hide and enamel hold-out, even over dark color topcoats, the company says. Recoat time is one hour.

ABSTRACT: How long should a simulated scenario last? Little literature exists, and what does exist, offers unsubstantiated opinions on the optimal timeframe. The authors of this article discuss the merits of both short scenarios, scenarios-defined as <30 minutes; and long scenarios-defined as >30 minutes. Advantages and disadvantages of both types of scenarios are presented. Substantiated research is needed on the appropriate time to simulate.Clinical Simulation in Nursing 01/2014; 10(5):e271–e276.
Article: Remote-Controlled Distance Simulation Assessing Neonatal Provider Competence: A Feasibility Testing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background Measures of competence during education and training of the health care workforce are in place, but how can ongoing competence be assessed, especially those who live and work outside metropolitan areas? Pediatrix Medical Group and the University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing formed a collaboration to develop a comprehensive program of testing that will be designed to eventually provide standardized and validated assessment of neonatal advanced practitioners by creating simulation opportunities using high-fidelity simulators for education across a distance, that is, remote-controlled distance simulation (RCDS). The purpose of this paper is to report the determination of the feasibility testing of training participants using a high-fidelity manikin-based simulator at a clinical site that was being controlled by an operator located at the distant control site. This article seeks to describe the collaboration between the University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing and Pediatrix Medical Group that enabled the pilot testing of RCDS. Method SimBaby™, the patient monitor, and SimView™, a high-definition audio and/or visual capture and playback system, were set up at a large metropolitan children's hospital. At the control site, there were two laptops, one of which was used for remote access of SimBaby's™ laptop and the other to control SimView™ remotely. A remote access desktop program enabled the operator access to and the ability to control SimBaby's™ software on the laptop at the clinical site. The scenario scene was set in a delivery room, where a post-term infant had been delivered through thick meconium-stained amniotic fluid. The baby developed respiratory distress and ultimately, a pneumothorax. Results The feasibility of training participants at a clinical site with a simulator that was being controlled by an operator at a remote distant control site was demonstrated. Minor challenges with the technology occurred but did not interfere with the participants' ability to perform during the simulation. Conclusion RCDS may offer several advantages for health care provider employers, especially those with multiple locations where physical competency validation with high-fidelity manikins may be difficult or impossible.Clinical Simulation in Nursing 01/2014;

ABSTRACT: Introduction This descriptive pilot study compares the effectiveness of the addition of videotaped role-modeling to a traditional method of teaching Crisis Resource Management (CRM) principles and clinical management of pediatric patients with respiratory distress. Method Data were collected from nurse practitioner students (N = 16) to evaluate knowledge, self-efficacy, team behaviors, and technical skills at 3 time-points. All students participated in a Pretest (Time 1) scenario and CRM lecture. Group A (control; n = 8) received no further intervention. Group B (experimental group; n = 8) watched a videotape of experts modeling CRM. All groups completed another scenario (Time 2). Twelve weeks later, each group completed a third scenario (Time 3). Satisfaction was measured at 2 times. Results No differences were noted in knowledge, self-efficacy, or technical skills between the groups at the 3 times. There was a significant difference between the groups on both the Pretest and Posttest 1 on team behaviors. Satisfaction scores showed no differences between the groups. Discussion One experience watching a 15-minute role-modeling videotape may not be an effective means of instruction for CRM principles or clinical management of pediatric patients.Clinical Simulation in Nursing 01/2013; 9(9):e343–e354.
Article: Can a virtual patient trainer teach student nurses how to save lives--teaching nursing students about pediatric respiratory diseases.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Virtual environments offer a variety of benefits and may be a powerful medium with which to provide nursing education. The objective of this study was to compare the achievement of learning outcomes of undergraduate nursing students when a virtual patient trainer or a traditional lecture was used to teach pediatric respiratory content. This was a randomized, controlled, posttest design. A virtual pediatric hospital unit was populated with four virtual pediatric patients having different respiratory diseases that were designed to meet the same learning objectives as a traditional lecture. The study began in Spring 2010 with 93 Senior I, baccalaureate nursing students. Students were randomized to receive either a traditional lecture or an experience with a virtual patient trainer. Students' knowledge acquisition was evaluated using multiple-choice questions, and knowledge application was measured as timeliness of care in two simulated clinical scenarios using high-fidelity mannequins and standardized patients. Ninety-three students participated in the study, of which 46 were in the experimental group that received content using the virtual patient trainer. After the intervention, students in the experimental group had significantly higher knowledge acquisition (P = 0.004) and better knowledge application (P = 0.001) for each of the two scenarios than students in the control group. The purpose of this project was to compare a virtual patient trainer to a traditional lecture for the achievement of learning outcomes for pediatric respiratory content. Although the virtual patient trainer experience produced statistically better outcomes, the differences may not be clinically significant. The results suggest that a virtual patient trainer may be an effective substitute for the achievement of learning outcomes that are typically met using a traditional lecture format. Further research is needed to understand how best to integrate a virtual patient trainer into undergraduate nursing education.Simulation in healthcare: journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare 02/2012; 7(1):10-7. · 1.64 Impact Factor

Article: Growth and neurodevelopment in extremely low-birth-weight neonates exposed to postnatal steroid therapy.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We compared postnatal growth and neurodevelopment in extremely low-birth-weight (<1000 g) neonates who did or did not receive postnatal steroid (PNS) therapy for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). One hundred seventy-three neonates with Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID II) testing performed at 18- to 22-month adjusted age were studied. Growth parameters and BSID II scales were compared among three groups: group I, no BPD; group II, BPD, no PNS; group III, BPD and PNS exposure. A subset of 77 neonates' growth parameters were retrieved at 12-month adjusted age. Psychomotor Development Index (PDI) and Mental Development Index (MDI) scales were lower in group III versus groups I and II. Growth velocity (GV) was lower in group III versus group I and II during the initial hospital stay. In the subset, GV from birth to 1-year adjusted age and weight, length, and head circumference determined at 1-year adjusted age were similar among the groups. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant effect of group membership and cystic periventricular leukomalacia on PDI. These results suggest that a deleterious effect of PNS therapy on neurodevelopment can occur by a mechanism that does not impair overall growth or growth of head circumference.American Journal of Perinatology 04/2011; 28(8):635-42. · 1.57 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this education project is to prepare neonatal nurse practitioners using a nonlinear (random exposure to information delivered in context rather than abstracting information as is done in a traditional lecture), asynchronous approach. The Internet-based 3-dimensional virtual "living world" classroom will have a living textbook and a virtual neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Deploying the program within a virtual living world will enhance program accessibility and overcome the challenges of nurses returning to school. Greater accessibility can help to alleviate the shortage of neonatal providers, which are needed to meet the needs of the growing population.A Neonatal Curriculum Consortium comprising expert neonatal nurse practitioners and faculty are developing multimedia learning modules for core content defined by national organizations and certifying bodies. Our Internet-based, multisite, nonlinear, asynchronous universal neonatal curriculum has at its core a 3-dimensional virtual "living text book" for didactic instruction and a "living world" NICU for "deliberate practice." The NICU will feature an interactive virtual infant patient. Our "Virtual NICU" will assist students to transition from the classroom, to the simulation laboratory, and ultimately to the clinical area. Providing clinical learning experiences in the virtual NICU will enhance the students' opportunities to learn to care for the culturally diverse populations they will serve as neonatal nurse practitioners.The Journal of perinatal & neonatal nursing 01/2011; 25(2):200-5. · 0.81 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The use of standardized patients (SPs) integrated into students' educational experience is one suggestion for overcoming clinical site challenges facing nursing educators today. This article describes one university nursing school's experience with starting an SP program and integrating SPs into the curricula for the undergraduate and graduate nursing programs. Additionally, this article discusses how one school expanded the role of SPs to serve as family or caregivers with manikin-based simulation. Questions to consider when starting an SP program are discussed.Clinical Simulation in Nursing 01/2010; 6(2):e61–e66.

ABSTRACT: Few studies compare instructor-modeled learning with modified debriefing to self-directed learning with facilitated debriefing during team-simulated clinical scenarios. : To determine whether self-directed learning with facilitated debriefing during team-simulated clinical scenarios (group A) has better outcomes compared with instructor-modeled learning with modified debriefing (group B). This study used a convenience sample of students. The four tools used assessed pre/post knowledge, satisfaction, technical, and team behaviors. Thirteen interdisciplinary student teams participated: seven in group A and six in group B. Student teams consisted of one nurse practitioner student, one registered nurse student, one social work student, and one respiratory therapy student. The Knowledge Assessment Tool was analyzed by student profession. There were no statistically significant differences within each student profession group on the Knowledge Assessment Tool. Group B was significantly more satisfied than group A (P = 0.01). Group B registered nurses and social worker students were significantly more satisfied than group A (30.0 +/- 0.50 vs. 26.2 +/- 3.0, P = 0.03 and 28.0 +/- 2.0 vs. 24.0 +/- 3.3, P = 0.04, respectively). Group B had significantly better scores than group A on 8 of the 11 components of the Technical Evaluation Tool; group B intervened more quickly. Group B had significantly higher scores on 8 of 10 components of the Behavioral Assessment Tool and overall team scores. The data suggest that instructor-modeling learning with modified debriefing is more effective than self-directed learning with facilitated debriefing during team-simulated clinical scenarios.Simulation in healthcare: journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare 02/2009; 4(3):135-42. · 1.64 Impact Factor

Article: Comparison of self-directed learning versus instructor-modeled learning during a simulated clinical experience.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: There are no reports in the literature that compare instructor-modeled learning to self-directed learning when simulation is used. Therefore, no evidence exists to know which approach is superior. This study aims to test the hypothesis that instructor-modeled learning is more effective compared with self-directed learning during a simulated clinical experience. This is a descriptive pilot study to compare instructor-modeled learning with self-directed learning during a clinical simulated experience. Four evaluation tools were used at three time points to evaluate knowledge, self-efficacy (self confidence), and behaviors. Sixteen students participated. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups on the Knowledge Assessment Test. There were significant differences between the groups in the Self-Efficacy Tool (SET) at three times (time 1: P = 0.006, time 2: P = 0.008, time 3: P = 0.012). The only significance between the groups on the Technical Evaluation Tool was time to start Albuterol. The Behavioral Assessment Tool (BAT) showed significant differences between the groups in 8 out of 10 components of the tool. A strong correlation was observed between the overall score of the BAT and the SET Score. Although the small sample size prohibits definitive conclusions, the data suggest that instructor-modeled learning may be more effective than self-directed learning for some aspects of learning during a clinical simulated experience.Simulation in healthcare: journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare 02/2007; 2(3):170-7. · 1.64 Impact Factor
Article: Simulating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation emergencies to improve human performance. Part I: methodologic and technologic innovations.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a form of long-term cardiopulmonary bypass used to treat infants, children, and adults with respiratory and/or cardiac failure despite maximal medical therapy. Mechanical emergencies on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have an associated mortality of 25%. Thus, acquiring and maintaining the technical, behavioral, and critical thinking skills necessary to manage ECMO emergencies is essential to patient survival. Traditional training in ECMO management is primarily didactic in nature and usually complemented with varying degrees of hands-on training using a water-filled ECMO circuit. These traditional training methods do not provide an opportunity for trainees to recognize and interpret real-time clinical cues generated by human patients and their monitoring equipment. Adult learners are most likely to acquire such skills in an active learning environment. To provide authentic, intensive, interactive ECMO training without risk to real patients, we used methodologies pioneered by the aerospace industry and our experience developing a simulation-based training program in neonatal resuscitation to develop a similar simulation-based training program in ECMO crisis management, ECMO Sim. A survey was conducted at the 19th Annual Children's National Medical Center ECMO Symposium to determine current methods for ECMO training. Using commercially available technology, we linked a neonatal manikin with a standard neonatal ECMO circuit primed with artificial blood. Both the manikin and circuit were placed in a simulated neonatal intensive care unit environment equipped with remotely controlled monitors, real medical equipment and human colleagues. Twenty-five healthcare professionals, all of whom care for patients on ECMO and who underwent traditional ECMO training in the prior year, participated in a series of simulated ECMO emergencies. At the conclusion of the program, subjects completed a questionnaire qualitatively comparing ECMO Sim with their previous traditional ECMO training experience. The amount of time spent engaged in active and passive activities during both ECMO Sim and traditional ECMO training was quantified by review of videotape of each program. Hospitals currently use lectures, multiple-choice exams, water drills, and animal laboratory testing for their ECMO training. Modification of the circuit allowed for physiologically appropriate circuit pressures (both pre- and postoxygenator) to be achieved while circulating artificial blood continuously through the circuit and manikin. Realistic changes in vital signs on the bedside monitor and fluctuations in the mixed venous oxygen saturation monitor were also effectively achieved remotely. All subjects rated the realism of the scenarios as good or excellent and described ECMO Sim as more effective than traditional ECMO training. They reported that ECMO Sim engaged their intellect to a greater degree and better developed their technical, behavioral, and critical thinking skills. Active learning (eg, hands-on activities) comprised 78% of the total ECMO Sim program compared with 14% for traditional ECMO training (P < 0.001). Instructor-led lectures predominated in traditional ECMO training. Traditional ECMO training programs have yet to incorporate simulation-based methodology. Using current technology it is possible to realistically simulate in real-time the clinical cues (visual, auditory, and tactile) generated by a patient on ECMO. ECMO Sim as a training program provides more opportunities for active learning than traditional training programs in ECMO management and is overwhelmingly preferred by the experienced healthcare professionals serving as subjects in this study. Subjects also indicated that they felt that the acquisition of key cognitive, technical, and behavioral skills and transfer of those skills to the real medical domain was better achieved during simulation-based training.Simulation in healthcare: journal of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare 01/2006; 1(4):220-7. · 1.64 Impact Factor
Article: Capillary refill time is an unreliable indicator of cardiovascular status in term neonates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Decisions regarding the need for volume replacement in neonates often are made in the immediate newborn period. Capillary refill time (CRT) is used as an indicator of circulatory status; however, recent data show that CRT varies considerably with age, ambient and skin temperature, anatomical site of measurement, and duration of pressure. The purpose of this study was to (1) examine the relationship between CRT and heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in term neonates, and (2) evaluate the differences among CRT values measured at 3 body sites and with varying duration of cutaneous pressure. This was a prospective, cross-sectional, correlational study. Subjects Forty-two appropriate-weight-for-gestational-age (AGA) neonates with birthweights, (M = 3407; SD = +/- 540 g), gestational ages (M = 39 weeks; SD = +/- 1 week), and sex (21 males, 21 females). Infants had no history of perinatal distress or maternal chorioamnionitis. Each neonate was studied prospectively 1 to 4 hours after birth. The infants were clothed with only a diaper and evaluated on a radiant warmer bed set to achieve an axillary temperature of 36.5 degrees to 37.0 degrees C. Capillary refill time was measured with a digital stopwatch at 3 sites: volar surface of finger (F), plantar surface of heel (H), and lower sternum (St), using brief (1- to 2-second) and extended (3- to 4-second) pressure. Heart rate was auscultated and counted for 60 seconds, and BP was measured by oscillometry. Relationships among variables were assessed by Pearson correlation coefficient, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. The Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons was applied. Capillary refill time, blood pressure, and heart rate. There was no significant site variation for CRT for either brief (2.4 +/- 0.6 to 2.9 +/- 1.0 seconds) or extended (3.8 +/- 0.8 to 4.3 +/- 0.8 seconds) pressure. However, regardless of site, CRT was greater when extended versus brief pressure was used (P < 0.001). There were no significant correlations between HR and CRT. There was a moderate, direct relationship between BP and CRT observed in the following anatomic sites: (1) sternum/extended pressure and systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP, and mean BP (r = 0.35, P = 0.02; r = 0.49, P = 0.001; and r = 0.43, P = 0.005, respectively); (2) sternum/brief pressure and SBP (r = 0.31, P = 0.05); and (3) finger/extended pressure and SBP (r = 0.30, P = 0.05). An unanticipated moderate, direct correlation between BP and CRT was observed; prolongation of CRT occurred with elevated blood pressure. This finding may have been secondary to increased circulating vasoactive substances in the newborn period; measurement of these substances was beyond the scope of this study. In addition, CRT was highly dependent on the duration of cutaneous pressure, regardless of the site. These 2 findings indicate that CRT may be an unreliable indicator of cardiovascular status in the term neonate during the first 4 hours after birth.Advances in Neonatal Care 06/2005; 5(3):147-54.
Article: Value of neurosonography in predicting subsequent cognitive and motor development in extremely low birth weight neonates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To compare the results of neurosonography (NSG) with subsequent neurodevelopmental testing in extremely low birth weight (ELBW; < or =1000 g) neonates. NSG at hospital discharge was available in 164 neonates and Bayley Scores of Infant Development (BSID II) evaluations (MDI and PDI) were performed in 158 of these infants at 18 to 22 months. Neurosonographic studies obtained prior to the discharge study also were evaluated. Neurosonograms were interpreted by pediatric radiologists, and BSID II examinations were performed by certified examiners masked to the results of the neurosonographic studies. A normal sonographic study at discharge was observed in 44% (14/32) of neonates with MDI <70 and 29% (7/24) with PDI <70. Furthermore, the sonographic study at discharge was normal in 59% (36/61) of neonates with MDI 70 to 84 and 56% (31/55) with PDI 70 to 84. Conversely, approximately 30 to 40% of those with an abnormality noted on neurosonogram at discharge, or at any time during hospitalization, had MDI and/or PDI scores > or =85. The association between abnormal NSG at discharge and low BSID II results was stronger for the PDI exam compared with the MDI exam. These results emphasize the limitations of NSG in predicting subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome in ELBW neonates. The primary role for NSG in ELBW neonates may be in the diagnosis and management of acute problems, such as intraventricular hemorrhage and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus, and not as a tool to predict subsequent outcome.Journal of Perinatology 12/2003; 23(8):629-34. · 2.25 Impact Factor
Article: Association of antenatal and postnatal dexamethasone exposure with outcomes in extremely low birth weight neonates.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recent studies of preterm neonates have indicated that antenatal dexamethasone (ADX) may have adverse effects on cranial ultrasound findings at the time of hospital discharge, including periventricular leukomalacia. Furthermore, both ADX and postnatal dexamethasone (PDX) may have adverse effects on subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome. 1) To assess the effects of ADX exposure on cranial ultrasound findings at the time of hospital discharge and 2) to evaluate the individual effects of ADX and/or PDX exposure on subsequent neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates in whom confounding risk factors known to influence outcome were controlled. One hundred seventy-three ELBW (< or =1000 g) neonates were studied using a prospectively collected database and hospital and clinic records. Study patients were assigned to 1 of 4 groups according to dexamethasone exposure: group I, no dexamethasone exposure; group II, ADX exposure to hasten fetal lung maturity; group III, PDX exposure for chronic lung disease; group IV, both ADX and PDX exposure. The 4 groups were compared using multinomial logistic regression or analysis of covariance to control for confounding variables. Primary outcome variables were cranial ultrasound findings at hospital discharge and results of developmental testing at 18 to 22 months' corrected age (Bayley Scales of Infant Development). Cranial ultrasound results as well as Bayley Scales of Infant Development scores were similar in groups I and II and in groups III and IV. The likelihood of abnormal cranial ultrasound studies and lower scores on neurodevelopmental testing was greater in groups III and IV versus groups I and II. In this study, ADX did not seem to increase the risk of periventricular leukomalacia. ADX exposure is not associated with an increase in abnormal cranial ultrasound findings in ELBW neonates. PDX exposure, but not ADX exposure, is associated with worse neurodevelopmental outcome in this population. These results are supportive of the recent statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics (Committee on Fetus and Newborn) and the Canadian Paediatric Society (Fetus and Newborn Committee) and emphasize that PDX should be used with caution in ELBW neonates.PEDIATRICS 08/2002; 110(2 Pt 1):275-9. · 4.47 Impact Factor

Article: Determinants of blood pressure in very low birth weight neonates: lack of effect of antenatal steroids.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To define the range of normal blood pressures (BP) for very low birth weight (VLBW;</=1500 g) neonates and to study perinatal variables affecting BP measurements after birth, including the effects of antenatal steroids. Antenatal steroids were rarely administered at Parkland Memorial Hospital before May 1994, permitting us to establish a cohort of VLBW neonates exposed to antenatal steroids [n=70, 1166+/-253 (S.D.) g, and 28.7+/-2.1 weeks] who were matched with neonates delivered during the prior year (n=46, 1100+/-241 g, 28.9+/-1.8 weeks). Maternal and neonatal charts were abstracted for pertinent data, and neonatal BP measurements (determined directly when an arterial catheter was available or indirectly by the oscillometric method) were extracted every 3 h for the first 12 h and every 6 h until 72 h postnatal. Antenatal steroids did not affect BP immediately after birth or for the subsequent 72 h postnatal. Therefore, data from all neonates </=1500 g were combined and the pattern of BP change over 72 h postnatal assessed. Systolic, diastolic and mean BP increased (P<0.001) 33%, 44% and 38%, respectively, during the first 72 h. Although neonates weighing </=1000 g and 1001-1500 g demonstrated gradual increases (P<0.001) in systolic, diastolic and mean BP by 72 h, values were consistently lower (P<0.01) in neonates </=1000 g. Of interest, only 11 neonates (9.5%) were treated for clinical hypotension. In VLBW neonates antenatal steroids do not modify BP measurements either immediately after birth or the 30-40% rise occurring in the first 72 h postnatal. Further, BP is developmentally regulated and is gestationally and birth weight dependent. These data provide additional insight into assessing the need for treating hypotension.Early Human Development 07/2000; 59(1):37-50. · 2.02 Impact Factor

As excited as hockey fans are to see the San Jose Sharks hosting an outdoor game this year, the entire Bay Area is excited to see how the game will impact the community.
Not only will the California hockey scene be witnessed across the U.S. and Canada, but any and all success factors pertaining to the event could open the doors for further such games in Northern California.
The NHL pays attention to the cities that are successful in hosting such events and won't shy away from returning to an area for a second game. It is definitely a make or break moment. Whether the event goes great or goes badly, the NHL will know whether the area is able to host another outdoor game, or another type of event.
Apparently the decision to play at Levi's Stadium over AT&T Park was based on the larger facility. "This game is about our fan base," Sharks chief operating officer John Tortora said. "Our fan base has been supporting us through the years, through good times and through bad times, and they've been very consistent, loyal and emotional about their support. We wanted to have as many people as possible to have the ability to attend this game. Going to a 68,500-seat stadium afforded us that opportunity. We thought that was a positive." By the time February rolls around, there is no doubt that the majority of kinks surrounding the operations of Levi's Stadium will be sorted out.
The Stadium Series couldn't have come at a better time. The Sharks have had their struggles lately, and many expect them to continue into the new season. This game is exactly what fans need to remind them exactly why they have been so loyal to the Sharks franchise.
Another newsworthy item to discuss would be the ticket prices for the game. Many tickets have already been purchased by season ticket holders and the average price looks to be $150. The total price range will be from $65 to $350. With all things considered, these prices really aren't too terrible.


text: As MiceChat gets older, it seems that fewer and fewer people take the time to post trip reports. Those of us who are there like to see them, and those that wern't like to see who attended since they could not. Loading photos here is a bit more difficult that other places online, so many don't make the effort.
