text: Notes From A HeathenWhy does the U.S.A., which prides itself on Human Rights, have such a problem with the idea of enfranchising its gay citizens? The religious right seems convinced that gay marriages are a sin. I have no problem with that personally, but it is ridiculous that their superstitions be the reason for denying me the rights that are granted to all by the U,S. Constitution.First let me explain that America is not a Christian country. The Constitution of the United States of America is quite explicit that this country has no state sanctioned religion. It is quite all right that American citizens are free to be Christian, Jew, Muslim, Santeria, Hindu, Buddhist or Atheist or any of the hundreds of registered tax-free religions.Christians are always saying that the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin. It does say that, but in Leviticus it says to eat pork or shellfish is a sin. The same book of Leviticus says that a bastard even unto the seventh generation shall not enter the Kingdom of God.

It is Social Media Day today across the world. That's right Social Media Day, not Facebook Day, not Twitter Day but Social Media Day. Although you could be excused for thinking it was only all about Twitter and Facebook, as almost every one of the thousands of news stories, written and read across the world this morning, has forgotten to mention anything other than those two, now household names.
Yet social media is more than just the two big social networks as we have explained before. It is almost a way of life. A way of doing things. To some it is even a religion. Just like a religion too there are many ways to practise it and it is Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Tumblr et al that allow the converted to practise their social media habits and beliefs.
One form is AudioBoo. A British company formed by a British entrepreneur who remains CEO today and as passionate about his product as anybody you will ever find. While it may not be as mainstream as the two big names, celebrities (Stephen Fry) and in particular news organisations have already begun to embrace it and the best thing is; whatever your knowledge, whatever your training, whatever audio you are using it to create and share, AudioBoo is as simple to use for everybody. Smartphone Apps and web-uploads are the main ways to upload but as CEO Mark Rock reveals in an audio interview over on our sister blog, new ways are also just round the corner.
Yet, even AudioBoo is not the only audio-blogging tool – and that's just one section of the social media sphere. HipCast and iPadio are two more very worthy contenders in the audio-blog sector and there are tens of more too. That's the point, social media is such a broad term and getting broader as technology advances. It would be almost impossible to provide a comprehensive list of all social media sites, tools and networks, because more appear every day. So I don't expect news outlets to be listing every site under the sun in their reports, but I do expect them to play their part in educating the masses that social media is about more than just Likes and Tweets.
What more unusual social media networks / tools do you use? Do Twitter and Facebook justify their dominance?

I grew up in North Bay, Ontario. I love the outdoors. I'm always outside exploring and having fun. At seven years old I hit the slopes for the first time and within a few days started getting a feel for rails and jumps. I was getting air! So I started entering contests and the exposure got me noticed by a local company, who offered me a sponsorship at the end of the first season. I was stoked!
In 2008 I travelled out to Mount St Louis, Moonstone to join the Simple Snowboarding Team for some serious fun – and world class coaching with Sam Marcotte, Elliot Catton and the crew.
Now I travel all over in Canada and United States for training and competitions. A big motivator for me has been getting into world class competitions, and putting down runs that make the older pro snowboarders stop and take notice. I was honoured with representing Canada in the World Youth Olympics at Innsbruck, Austria in Slopestyle, January 2012, and have also joined the Canadian National Junior High Performance Snowboard Team.
During the off season I enjoy wakeboarding and am a certified instructor with my company South Bay Wakeboarding School. I enjoy teaching technical moves, coaching, and love encouraging others to do tricks and have a blast on the water while learning to progress at wakeboarding. The rest of my summer is dedicated to the search for snow, bringing me to the Southern Hemisphere for snowboard training and competitions in New Zealand with my Simple Snowboarding Team, who are like family to me.
I also love to get together with my friends in the pits and motocross on a 250 Suzuki. And I love 4 wheeling, mud bogging and exploring the back country near my home. Dry land training is also a big part of my routine, to ensure I stay fit for competition.
I was born to ride. I am a serious competitor and have no fear when it comes to upping the ante. Snowboarding is a heart racing adventure for me, and I truly love and respect the sport.

text: 18 Million Indian Children to Receive Life Saving Five-in-One VaccineGENEVA, 12 August 2009 - More than 18 million children in India will be immunised with a pentavalent five-in-one vaccine thanks to funding worth US$ 165 million from the GAVI Alliance, a public-private partnership which brings together all key players in immunisation including the Indian government, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, donors, industry and the Hib Initiative. A decision by the GAVI Alliance's Executive Committee in Geneva announced today paves the way for the introduction of the combination vaccine in India, where some 27 million children are born each year. This is the first phase of a national roll-out which will start in 10 states. The decision to approve the funding was communicated to Indian Health Minister Gulam Nabi Azad by GAVI Alliance Deputy CEO Helen Evans on Tuesday 11 August. The pentavalent vaccine protects against five potential killers -- diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (often known as Hib) which causes some severe forms of pneumonia and meningitis. Children need to be vaccinated three times before they can be considered fully immunised. While children in all countries are routinely immunised against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and increasingly hepatitis B, the introduction of this pentavalent vaccine in India will mean that now more than 90% of the world's poorest children will be vaccinated against Hib. Globally Hib kills more than 370,000 children under five every year; nearly 20% of these children die in India. Survivors are often permanently paralyzed, deafened or brain damaged. Routine introduction of Hib vaccine has been proven to prevent the majority of severe bacterial meningitis and up to one third of life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia, the leading infectious cause of death in children worldwide. "India's important and far-sighted decision to introduce the pentavalent vaccine will bring the country and the world significantly closer to achieving Millennium Development Goal 4 which aims to reduce child mortality by two-thirds by 2015," said Dr. Julian Lob-Levyt. "With such a significant number of pneumonia deaths occurring in India, we are pleased to see India recognizing the importance of adding protection against Hib while continuing to work on strengthening routine immunisation." In one of its largest-ever single grants, GAVI will fund the first two years of pentavalent vaccine introduction in India. In the first year the pentavalent vaccine will reach more than 10 million children in 10 states -- about 40 percent of India's total number of babies born each year. By funding the introduction of the pentavalent vaccine, GAVI will equip India to expand its use in the rest of the country. "Introduction of Hib vaccine in India will save thousands of children's lives," said Panna Choudhury, President of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. "Routine use of Hib vaccine is an essential piece of a comprehensive pneumonia control strategy to reduce the disease's terrible burden on children." "No child should die or suffer from this preventable disease," said Dr. Mathuram Santosham, executive committee member of the Hib Initiative at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Hib vaccine is a safe, effective intervention that has been used for more than nearly 20 years in developed countries. Where used routinely in countries such as Kenya, Uganda and the Gambia, it has been proven to virtually eliminate Hib disease." Pentavalent vaccine is now available from Indian suppliers and is expected to be used both in children in India and around the world. With increasing demand, this indigenous supply will play an important role in saving children's lives. ### The GAVI Alliance is a Geneva-based public-private partnership aimed at improving health in the world's poorest countries. The Alliance brings together developing country and donor governments, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank, the vaccine industry in both industrialised and developing countries, research and technical agencies, NGOs, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and other private philanthropists. The Hib Initiative unites experts from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and provides technical, coordination and communication support to countries making decisions regarding the use of Hib vaccine. The Hib Initiative is supported by a 4-year grant from the GAVI Alliance. The Hib vaccine is being used or will soon be used in at least 62 developing countries eligible for support from the GAVI Alliance.

FINDING ways to motivate your players each week can be a challenge.
Ultimately it sits with the coach to rally his troops and get them focused and driven for the big game ahead, while also helping the boys find their own self-motivation and drive.
This is something I really enjoy doing in my role.
Reading last week's article in the paper about the Rioli boys playing in memory of the great Sibby Rioli, made me think about the influences we have in our lives and how they can motivate us.
When at St Kilda, the great Ross Lyon asked the playing group if we thought Lenny Hayes would be just as successful off the field when he finished playing – an unusual question to ask the rest of the players no doubt.
What Lyon was getting at was that Lenny would leave no stone unturned to be the best player, leader and person he could be, traits that would stick with him and drive him through the rest of his life after his footy career.
Lyon was saying the lessons you learn and actions you adopt on field will transfer to every day life.
Unfortunately I never got to see my dad play footy, but what I do know is that he was well respected off the field and although he is no longer with us, he is a huge influence and motivation in my life.
So the challenge to my players is to find what will guide them for the rest of their lives.
Thunder take on Aspley in Queensland this weekend (on Thundervision from 1pm).
See you back at TIO Stadium next week.
Have your say

Dirty weekend with Elrond turned sour when I told him purple was not his color.
Day Five
Have been marched against by last alliance of men and nancing elves. Is transparent attempt by Elrond to get back at me for comment about purple. I will not take it back! I told him purple made him look like an eggplant, and it does. Is no need for him to get so shirty about it.
Day Six
Is not that being defeated by last alliance is so bad, is not even that being reduced to a disembodied eyeball is so bad, although Visine would be a comfort. But whose bright idea was it to slice onions in here?
Blast those orcs and their fondness for onion dip. Have taken their disco ball away. God, it's fun to be evil.
Day Three Million Five:
Am bored. Have been waiting for Middle-Earthlink guy to come and install DSL in Barad-Dur since second-age. Will use palantir as alternative to personal ads, as am lonely.
Day Three Million Seven:
I spy with my big-huge-nasty-flaming eye...something resembling a novelty dashboard ornament. Witch King of Angmar tells me it's a hobbit. Is rather cute. On the smallish side, but I'm hardly one to talk appearances these days.
Day Three Million Nine:
ARGH! That tiny bloke has MY RING!
Have sent the nine to fetch ring back. If nine succeeds in sorting their elbows from asshats, that is.
Day Three Million Eleven:
Have met v. nice bloke over the palantir. An older gent, seems to have copied hairstyle from Galadriel, but no matter. He likes me for me. Finally someone to see past the eyeball. Will send him packet of glittery barrettes.
Day Three Million Thirteen:
Tried to ask Saruman over for dinner, but lost nerve at last moment and said some idiotic thing about building an army instead. Is somewhat amusing watching him play violin for orcs and goblin men in attempt to spark romance, so will not clear up confusion just yet.
Day Three Million Sixteen:
Wonder if Saruman becoming somewhat deaf? Told him I was hoping we could delineate boundaries of relationship, instead he defoliated Isengard.
Day Three Million Twenty:
Some bearded tart with pointy hat trying to horn in on my action. Hmmm. Ex-boyfriend?
Think Saruman may have put him in guest bedroom. Will have to ask S. to clarify.
Day Three Million Twenty-One:
Elrond having another of his disastrous parties. Why was not invited?
Just because have no body and cannot play twister with Legolas is no reason to snub me.
Day Three Million Twenty-Two:
Have been watching Fellowship through palantir. Ringbearer really v. pretty, I must admit, with big soulful eyes and little hairy feet. What I wouldn't give for a body and a shower-cap right now. Although bath-obsessed hobbit companion would probably kill me if I tried anything.
Day Three Million Twenty-Three:
Bored bored bored, so caught up on palantir-watching today. Lovely place, Moria, used to vacation there. Pointy-hatted ex-bf seemed nervous; sent word to Bob to keep an eye out. I mean a look out. I mean... oh bugger.
Day Three Million Twenty-Four:
No word back from Bob. Suspect he is moping. Never could sort out his love life. Always whining and writing in his journal. Bloody sensitive demon types, no use at all.
Day Three Million Twenty-Five:
Pointy hatted ex fell into shadow. Down with the competition! Ringbearer moping. Suspect Aragorn son of Arathorn might like to have a go at cheering him up. Apparently something of a pervy hobbit-fancier. So that's why the blood of Numenor died out.
Day Three Million Twenty-Six:
Fellowship in Lothlorien. Oh god, Galadriel Galadriel Galadriel. It's always about HER. Paint my toenails, Sauron. Don't touch my hair, Sauron. I want a pretty ring, Sauron. Then she goes off with slabbish oaf Celeborn. Bet HE cannot forge twenty rings of Power.
Suspect bitch-slap fight brewing between Galadriel and Legolas as to which of them can nance around better while holding water pitcher. Cannot help but roll my eye over this. Time to toss some Jiffy Pop into Mount Doom and watch the fireworks.
Well, would you look at that dwarf getting it on with Celeborn. I tell you, three Million years on Middle-Earth and some things still surprise me.
Day Three Million Twenty-Nine:
Finally some decent fighting. Orcs killed : four hundred, v. bad. Humans killed : one. Go Uruk-Hai!
Is it just me, or is Aragorn son of Arathorn kinda gay?
Maybe is just me.
This may be the last diary ? I really need to get back to working on FictionAlley, a wonderful site run by lovely people, which I have horribly neglected lately. (If you've enjoyed reading these as much as I've enjoyed writing them, please make my day and
vote here for FA ? they let you vote once a day so don?t worry if you already voted.) Whee! And thanks for liking the diaries so much -- it's been really fun. And course the diaries will be back in December, when TT comes out, and Sam gets to kill a whole bunch of new people when they try anything.

Whaling shipwreck found in Hawaii linked to Moby-Dick
Whaling shipwreck: A shipwreck discovered in Hawaii is believed to be the second whaling ship the real-life Capt. Ahab sailed after the famous sperm whale sank his first ship. The remains of the whaling shipwreck are to be displayed in Hawaii, and may travel to Nantucket, where the real Capt. Ahab lived.
Greg McFall/NOAA/Reuters
A fierce sperm whale sank the first whaling ship under George Pollard's command and inspired the classic American novel "Moby-Dick". A mere two years later, a second whaler captained by Pollard struck a coral reef during a night storm and sank in shallow water.
Marine archaeologists scouring remote atolls 600 miles northwest of Honolulu have found the wreck site of Pollard's second vessel — the Two Brothers — which went down in 1823.
Most of the wooden Nantucket whaling ship disintegrated in Hawaii's warm waters in the nearly two centuries since. But researchers found several harpoons, a hook used to strip whales of their blubber, and try pots or large cauldrons whalers used to turn whale blubber into oil. Corals have grown around and on top of many of the objects, swallowing them into the reef.
"To find the physical remains of something that seems to have been lost to time is pretty amazing," said Nathaniel Philbrick, an author and historian who spent more than three years researching the Essex — and its fatal encounter with the whale — the Two Brothers and their captain. "It just makes you realize these stories are more than stories. They're about real lives."
Officials from the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument — one of the world's largest marine reserves — were due to announce their findings at a news conference Friday, exactly 188 years after the Two Brothers sank.

Pitino and Donovan together again
PHOENIX -- On Wednesday, Billy Donovan and Rick Pitino were already fielding the questions.
Can you discuss your relationship? Talk a little bit about Billy's playing days under you at Providence. How often do you speak? How much of your coaching style do you derive from your mentor?
There was just one minor problem with all this discussion: To meet in the Elite Eight, Pitino and Donovan both still had to win.
To the media, the intrigue of this capital-S Story was too much to resist. It didn't matter that Pitino and Donovan still had very difficult games ahead; it was enough that the two had merely played themselves into the same NCAA tournament region, enough that there was a chance -- small at the time, considering both coaches' teams were Sweet 16 underdogs -- that the mentor/pupil duo could maybe, just maybe, meet with a Final Four bid on the line.
Two days later, less than 24 hours after Pitino's Cardinals stifled No. 1-seeded Michigan State into an historically low scoring performance, and Donovan's Gators used their newfound defensive identity to tackle No. 3-seeded Marquette, both coaches were back at the podium, again running down the particulars.
This time, the questions were warranted.
Simply put, there is no duo in modern college hoops quite like this. Their dual rises to the pinnacle of their sport -- Pitino, the Hall of Famer; Donovan, the two-time national champion -- are inextricably tied through their beginnings at Providence, through the legend of the player Pitino coined, and still calls, "Billy the Kid."
And it all started with an overweight, little-used sophomore who was convinced he wanted to transfer, and the first-year coach who couldn't find him a home.
"The first meeting, a young man waddled into my room ... and he had put on a lot of weight," Pitino said. "And he said he wanted to transfer."
Donovan told Pitino he wanted to leave for either Northeastern or Fairfield. Pitino told his player he would call both schools' coaches (coincidentally, one of whom was Jim Calhoun, who was still coaching at Northeastern). Donovan left Pitino's office, and the coach said a "Hail Mary and thanked God" he was gone.
But the plan hit a minor bump when Pitino discovered Calhoun and others were equally as uninterested.
"I told [Calhoun] I have a Big East guard that wants to transfer," Pitino said. "I told him who it was. [Calhoun] said, 'Rick, he can't play for me, he's too slow and doesn't shoot it well enough.'
"Billy came back and said, 'Coach, which school wanted me more?'" Pitino said. "I said, 'Let's forget that, Billy -- they're both very interested in you. Tell me -- why are you so out of shape?"
Donovan had been languishing in former Providence coach Joe Mullaney's system, where the top 10 players on the roster were the only participants in practice, Pitino said. So the coach and player devised a plan: Lose 30 pounds, spend all summer working on drills, and come back ready to contribute.
"He was the third guard on the team that year," Pitino said. "And the next year he got so good -- because I've never seen anyone work as hard as him, in 35 years."
Donovan corroborated Pitino's version of the events, one both men have told many times by now. But he did contest one portion.
"I'm not sure I was as overweight as they all say I was," Donovan said. "I don't know. Maybe I was."
In 1987, two years after that near-transfer, the legend of "Billy the Kid" was born. Under Pitino, in a new, uptempo system borne of the birth of the 3-point shot, Donovan averaged 15.1 points as a junior and 20.6 as a senior, when he led the Friars to Pitino's first Final Four. The "Billy the Kid" nickname was a natural fit, but Pitino -- and this would become a theme for Donovan -- had plenty to do with that, too.
"We put him in a little cowboy hat, spurs and boots, and he wouldn't put it on," Pitino said. "I made him put it on, and they put him on the cover of the program. That was the first caption of 'Billy the Kid, the fastest gun in the Big East.' That was the start of his college legend."
"I did not want to do that," Donovan said. "I think it was a way for him ... to probably boost my self-esteem, my confidence. But I was not happy about doing that. And that media guide, I hope that's no longer able to be found."
A few years later, after Donovan's brief pro career had petered out (which included a one-year stint for the Knicks, where Pitino was head coach for two seasons before going to Kentucky), he took a job on Wall Street -- "cold-calling as a stockbroker," as he described it. "Trying to get some guy to buy some stock I knew nothing about," Donovan said. "It was just not for me at all."
That's when Donovan made a decision: He wanted to go into coaching. Naturally, he called his former coach to see what he thought. At first, Pitino was hesitant -- "I said, Billy, you're going to make a lot of money on Wall Street; stay put, coaching is not for you" -- but after Donovan thought it over some more, and came back more enthusiastic than ever, Pitino told him to get a car and drive to Kentucky, where Donovan became a graduate assistant.
Donovan rose in four seasons under Pitino, learning from his mentor and eventually securing his first job at Marshall in 1994. His first full recruiting class included future Sacramento Kings point guard Jason Williams (a.k.a "White Chocolate") and after just two years, Donovan took the job at Florida.
The rest, essentially, is history: Donovan went to the national title game in 2000, won back-to-back national championships in 2006 and 2007, and has built Florida -- once a mere sideshow to a football-obsessed fan base -- into a perennial national power.
In the meantime, Pitino has gone from Kentucky to the NBA back to the college ranks at Louisville, and the duo has remained close. Pitino's son, Richard Pitino, coached for two years under Donovan at Florida before returning to the bench alongside his father last year.
Donovan leaned on Pitino for advice when he considered jumping to the Orlando Magic, and Pitino's experience became part of the reason he eventually decided to remain a college coach. During Pitino's personal difficulties amid the Karen Sypher extortion case a few years ago, Donovan reached out, supported his former coach, always kept him in his thoughts.
Despite the parallel successes, the duo has never faced off in the NCAA tournament -- until now. Likewise, Donovan has never toppled his old mentor; a win Saturday would put make him 1-6 against his former coach.
After a week of talking about the special relationship these two share, about tattered photos of little Richard sitting on Billy's lap at Pitino's house in Rhode Island so many years ago, after 25 years and an impending reunion since these two first broke on the college hoops scene ... what's it like for both coaches to play with a Final Four berth in the offing? Awkward? Just part of the business? Some combination of the two?
"Not at all," Pitino said. "It's the opposite for me. If we were playing school X tomorrow and we lost, I'd be devastated [about] not going to a Final Four. [If Louisville loses Saturday], I'd be professionally very down about not going to a Final Four -- but personally I'll be very happy for Billy Donovan."
"I know that both teams are going to go out there and play their hearts out for 40 minutes," Donovan said. "And I think it's exciting -- I think if you would have asked Coach Pitino there's only one way that you can play in the Elite Eight, and you've got to play against Billy, you take it. Because you never know."

Deron Williams: Trade sealed deal in Brooklyn
July, 6, 2012
By Jeff Caplan | ESPNDallas.com
Brooklyn Nets point guard Deron Williams, in Las Vegas for the start of Team USA training camp in preparation for the Olympics, told reporters that the Nets' trade for Joe Johnson kept him from heading home to play for the Dallas Mavericks.
"I was really close to going to Dallas," Williams told reporters. "I actually thought that's where I was going to go. I had the meetings and it kind of changed my mind because once I got out of the meeting with Dallas and saw the way they were going and the team they were putting out there and I saw that we just made a trade for Joe Johnson and I felt like that team for a longer time would be the better team.
"Joe got me over the hump," Williams continued. "I've never played with anybody like him, a guy on the wing that can get his own shot and also get me involved and is a great defender. We could be one of the top backcourts in the NBA for sure."
Knowing how close Williams was to joining his hometown team won't make Mavs fans feel any better as they've watched the roster diminish to just seven players under contract. Jason Terry agreed to a deal with the Boston Celtics and Jason Kidd has agreed to join the New York Knicks.
All that's left of the 2011 champion Mavs is Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Brendan Haywood, Rodrigue Beaubois and Dominique Jones.
"It was a hard decision. It was my hometown, the team that I grew up watching, would have loved to play for and my family would have loved for them to see me play," Williams said. "I kind of felt I let the city I'm from down because they wanted me there so bad. It was a really tough decision, but I think it ultimately came down to where I felt I had a better chance to win for a longer period of time."

Bristol Children's Hospital heart operations reduced
Bristol Children's Hospital is to reduce the number of heart operations carried out after a formal warning over staffing levels on its cardiac unit.
A Care Quality Commission (CQC) report found the trust failed to meet safety standards for staffing levels, training and support and patient welfare.
The report follows a series of concerns over the care of children at the unit.
Two cardiac high dependency beds have been created and the number of beds at the unit has been cut from 16 to 12.
University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust (UBHT) said it had "improved the nurse to patient numbers".
'Increasing demand'An unannounced inspection was carried out on 5 September following concerns raised by two families whose children had been patients at the children's hospital.
Luke Jenkins, seven, of Cardiff, had been expected to make a recovery after heart surgery at the hospital.
He was moved from intensive care 24 hours after the operation because of "increasing demand" on beds in the department but later suffered cardiac arrest and died.
"They're looking after seriously ill patients - as they keep saying - and they've not got enough staff to look after them so they're putting children's lives at risk," said Stephen Jenkins, Luke's father.
A report put together by an investigative team at University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust said "the workload and patient dependency is recognised as being significant" in Luke's death.
Three weeks earlier Sean Turner, four, had died on the same ward.
He was transferred from intensive care to the ward one day after surgery.
His parents asked for him to go back into intensive care but he was not allowed to return until he suffered a cardiac arrest in his father's arms four days after surgery.
Sean died four weeks later from a significant bleed in his brain.
A hospital review into his death found staff shortages, failure of staff to recognise his deteriorating condition and poor communication with his parents had contributed.
"If you haven't got the staff to make the children better don't take them. Why rush them through?" said Stephen Turner, Sean father.
"It [the unit] needs to be closed down," said Yolanda Turner, Sean's mother.
"We've been saying it ever since Sean and Luke. When Luke died after Sean that shouldn't have happened. It's unsafe in there and we witnessed that twice.
"They're not prepared for the children who have complications after surgery. They can't cope with that."
Not sustainableIan Biggs, deputy director of the CQC in the South, said: "We found that on a number of shifts, staffing levels on Ward 32 fell below these inadequate levels and to make matters worse, some staff did not have the appropriate experience to care for patients with high dependency needs.
"Doctors and nurses told us that the current staffing levels were having an impact on the care and service being provided, with checks missed or reduced at times and not enough time to communicate with families.
This story raises questions about how the hospital responded to concerns about staffing levels.
Sources from the trust have told me that from 2009 they warned senior management there were not enough nurses on ward 32 or capacity in intensive care.
The trust insists it reviews staffing on an hour-by-hour basis. It says over the past two years it has invested £600,000 in paediatric cardiac services, which equates to 14.5 full-time equivalent staff, and is now carrying out another review.
But that does not satisfy the parents of Sean Turner or the CQC, which believes more needs to be done. The regulator only serves an improvement notice on a hospital in the region about once a year, so this is certainly a slap on the wrists and the hospital will have to respond very quickly to the CQC's demands.
"The trust themselves have acknowledged that their system of providing high dependency care was not sustainable.
"But having identified the risks of providing high dependency care on a general ward, they had not taken effective steps to ensure they reduced the risks to patients. "
The trust has been told it must provide a report within seven days setting out how it will meet the other standards.
Robert Woolley, Chief Executive of UBHT, said: "I am deeply concerned that some families believe that we have let them down and will continue to ensure that we address their concerns and bring forward our plans to develop a high dependency unit.
"We have also improved the nurse to patient numbers on the cardiac ward. As a result of these actions, I believe we have addressed the issues leading to the warning notice and I would welcome a return visit from the CQC to confirm this."
CQC inspectors will monitor the trust's progress and check to ensure the improvements it requires have been made.

School of Education
Dr Ruth Swanwick
Associate Professor in Deaf Education
I am an Associate Professor in Deaf Education and a member of the Childhood and Inclusive Education Academic Team. My research and teaching centres on deafness, language and learning and the development of pedagogies and professional understanding in deaf education. I am particularly interested in bimodal bilingual learning in deaf children and what this area of research can contribute to modern language teaching and research.
Research Interests
My research centres on deafness, language and learning and the development of pedagogies and practitioner understanding. I am interested in deaf children's bimodal and bilingual language experience and the use and the role of sign language in education. I have published on deafness and bilingualism from a teaching and learning perspective and guest edited three Journals 'special issues' on this topic. My funded research includes a collaborative ESRC funded project looking at deaf children's early literacy experiences in the home. I led a Nuffield funded project on the role of sign language for deaf children with cochlear implants and a British Academy project on approaches to critical thinking and reflective practice across the national training provision for teachers of the deaf. My current work centres on the development of a theoretical model of bimodal bilingualism and learning which situates deafness and language learning within a plural view of language and culture in society. I have secured a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship to take this work forwards.
I am programme leader for the MA in Deaf Education in the School of Education. I teach and assess all of the modules for this programme and coordinate regional training and support for the programme tutors. The MA in Deaf Education is an on-line distance education course leading to the mandatory Teacher of the Deaf (ToD) qualification. This programme recruits nationally and prepares suitably qualified deaf and hearing practitioners to work with deaf students across a range of educational settings.
PhD Supervision
I wish to encourage research students (EdD or PhD) to work with me on topics related to deafness, language and learning. This includes deaf children's language development, literacy, learning and bimodal bilingual pedagogies as well as the development of professional roles and expertise in deaf education.

Published online: 11 Sep 2013.
This paper presents a flexible framework of principles for teaching critical thinking and reflective practice skills at the postgraduate level. It reports on a collaborative project between four UK institutions providing postgraduate programmes in deaf education. Through a critical review of current theories of critical thinking and reflective practice in higher education, the authors identified and constructed frameworks of principles for relevant skills. They selected a set of learning activities for the institutions to trial to target those skills. Students evaluated how successfully the activities promoted the skills. The investigators evaluate the methodology and provide a critique of the framework of principles. Findings reveal that the framework of principles is a robust model for the development, design and evaluation of bespoke learning activities targeting critical thinking and reflective practice skills.

Decades of research on educational and basic scientific questions relating to deaf children have yielded a wealth of knowledge about how they learn and develop as thinking, social, problem-solving individuals. However, we currently lack channels for communication from teachers to researchers about the priorities in education and from researchers to teachers about scientific progress that might be effectively utilized in the learning context. As a result, research often fails to address educational priorities, knowledge gained from relevant investigations is rarely translated into practice, and decision-making is often governed by administrative expedience rather than evidence. To address this situation, this paper identifies the current research priorities relating to deaf education and research outcomes that appear likely to have a significant impact on the development of educational practice. Practitioner priorities also are identified, and explanations for the gap between research and practice are analyzed. Ways in which the gaps between research and practice can be addressed are proposed. The goal is to provide a catalyst for broad-based discussions about how to include teachers in educational research planning and create genuine and effective partnerships between researchers and teachers to enhance educational outcomes for deaf pupils.

(2008) "Parents' and teachers' views on deaf children's literacy at home: do they agree?", Deafness & Education International. 10.1: 22-39.
This paper compares the views of parents and teachers of the deaf on deaf children's literacy at home. We made DVD recordings of 12 young deaf children (aged 3-5) sharing books with their parents at home. Six families used British Sign Language (BSL) as their main means of communication and for interacting around books, and six used spoken language. Each dyad shared one book of their choice and they all shared Where's My Teddy? (Alborough, 2002), which was a book chosen by the researchers. One month later, the parents were shown the recording and asked for their views on it and on their child's literacy development. The teacher of the deaf working with each family was shown the same recording and asked similar questions. Results revealed that the parents and teachers of the deaf held some views in common, but focused on different aspects of literacy development. Implications for practice include developing a shared understanding of the routes to literacy that individual deaf children will follow

"A design-based approach for research into deaf children's reading comprehension", Hillary Place Papers. 1.1
Design-based methodologies provide a paradigm for educational research which enables us to see beyond what is or is not working, to develop practices and interventions that 'work better' (Kelly et al., 2008, p3). This paper explains the design-based methodology and explores the use of this approach to research deaf children's reading comprehension in order to make a significant contribution to theory and impact on practice. The research context is presented and current paradigms are reviewed. The issues of researching deafness and reading in a way which takes into account the resources of the individuals and the potential of the context are illustrated and a rationale for using a design-based model is presented. The paper examines and reflects on the use of this methodology for investigating deafness and reading comprehension drawing on a current work in progress into Deafness and Reading for Meaning (DreaM) at the University of Leeds.

He drops so many passes.
I found this rumor and I like it....I think this is certainly a guy the Bills should target.
He has rocks for hands
Bring back Chan for OC???
Hopefully the Bills can carry my casket at my funeral so they can let me down one last time.
Since he is quoting a Bleacher Report rumor, I will take this speculation with a grain of salt
2014 Adopt a Bill---Chris Williams
he did have 11 drops this season but this is the first year that he has actually had an issue, its not uncommon for guys to have a season every now and then where they drop balls they normaly wouldnt. I still say try to get him so the team can focus on defense in the draft more than on a late round TE
I sure wouldn't argue.......
RIP Ralph
2013 Adopt-a-Bill-Ron Brooks
2014 Adopt-A-Bill- Aaron Williams
We are loud and proud.
We are loyal and compassionate.
We fight each other in good times and hug each other when times are tough.
We dont care what the rest of the world thinks of us.
We will never shut up, give up, or let up.
We will persevere.
We ARE True Grit.
another JP Foschi.......
If Walker can be a 60 catch guy, then he's not a bad signing. Otherwise, go get a 60 catch TE to complement Chandler, who should be a 60 catch guy with a better QB.
The day we start seeing the Bills known as the "Wide Right" team again will be the best day Bills fans will have had in over 14 years. Give that a think.
A good QB can make any TE better.....with that said it won't matter what we do in FA if we don't finally get our guy
Mock off-season
Free agents
Jerry Hughes DE- keep the front together
Mike Iupati OG-We want to run the ball
Jermaine Gresham TE- pass catching TE
Sam Bradford QB- trade a late pick for him
Eric Berry S-worth the risk even with health
2. Todd Gurley RB workhorse ground n pound
3. Marcus Peters CB top 15 talent drops
5. Max Garcia OG/C good inside depth
5. Bryce Petty QB better than Jeff Tuel
6. Adrian Amos S good depth special teams
7. Trey Millard FB a true run blocker
Would like it. He needs to have better hands but has really good speed
The day we start seeing the Bills known as the "Wide Right" team again will be the best day Bills fans will have had in over 14 years. Give that a think.
Since half of you don't feel like googling the actual stats here is the correct amount of dropped passes that Delanie Walker has had in 2012- 7 dropped passes tied with our own Stevie Johnson. That is not hands of stone like some have said those could have very well been hard catches, fingertip catches etc., Jimmy Graham an elite TE lead the league with 13 I doubt many would say they wouldn't want him here in Buffalo.

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Ramon Santiago ripped an RBI triple to right in the bottom of the 10th inning to send the Detroit Tigers to a dramatic 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park.
Victor Martinez and Austin Jackson collected two hits, while Brennan Boesch added a double for Detroit, which has won seven of its past 10 games.
"It was a great win for us. Any win...is very important for us. We have to grind every game," Santiago said.
David Purcey (1-0) threw a scoreless 10th to pick up his first victory for Detroit.
Tigers starter Phil Coke was brilliant for 6 1/3 scoreless innings, yielding only four hits while striking out three.
Justin Ruggiano smacked an RBI double and Johnny Damon added a pair of hits for the Rays, who had won six of their previous eight contests.
Kyle Farnsworth (2-1) gave up two hits and the winning run in the 10th to pick up the loss for the Rays.
Tampa Bay starter Alex Cobb gave up a run in a strong 5 2/3 innings, scattering eight hits while fanning seven and walking only two.
Martinez got the winning moment rolling for Detroit by lacing a one-out single. Santiago followed, belting a Farnsworth offering into the right- center field gap, allowing Martinez to chug home all the way from first.
"I was trying to get a ground-ball double play," Farnsworth said. "It was a sinker that stayed up a little bit, and [Santiago] hit it into the gap."
The Tigers broke the scoreless deadlock in the fifth with a two-out rally. Boesch smacked a double to left field and Miguel Cabrera followed with a walk. Martinez laced a single to center to score Boesch and put Detroit ahead 1-0.
Tampa Bay threatened in the seventh, loading the bases with only one out. The opportunity was squandered when Casey Kotchman flew out to Magglio Ordonez in right and Ruggiano was thrown out at home trying to score on the fly ball.
The Rays fought back and tied the game at one in the eighth. After Tampa loaded the bases on three consecutive singles, Ruggiano came through with a sacrifice fly to plate John Jaso. The Rays had a chance to take the lead with Evan Longoria at the plate and runners on the corners, but he hit into a fielder's choice to end the inning.

Property investors pick Germany over UK in 2013 - survey
- Tweet

- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Germany surpassed Britain as the most attractive European property market in 2013 as fading fears of a euro zone break-up encourage investors to venture back into the bloc, a report showed on Wednesday.
A survey by property consultant CBRE Group (CBG.N) of 362 investors, including some of the world's largest fund managers, found that 35 percent picked Germany as the most appealing market, compared with 24 percent that chose Britain.
"While recession is a key concern, investors' fears of a euro break-up have subsided, and the overall impact of the euro zone crisis on investment activity appears to have eased," CBRE's head of European research, Peter Damesick, said.
The survey included a greater share of German investors than it did the year before.
London, whose position outside the European Union has made it a target for overseas investors seeking safe havens in recent years, retained its spot as the most favoured city, however, ahead of Munich and Berlin with 31 percent of votes.
Dublin and Madrid were also among the top 10 favoured cities, coming at sixth and ninth place, respectively, indicating growing confidence in the recovery of the Irish and Spanish economies and real estate markets, CBRE said.
"The next 12 months could mark the beginning of a reversal of the strong polarisation that has characterised European property investment market over the past two years," Damesick said.
Sovereign wealth and pension funds have ploughed billions of pounds into property in upscale areas of London and Paris in recent years, pushing prices for certain assets up even as prices of poorer quality properties fell.
Market fears of a euro zone break-up have eased after strong action from the European Central Bank last year. Just 9 percent of respondents said a break-up was the greatest threat to recovery, down from 24 percent in 2012. Almost half said recession was their biggest concern.
Activity in Europe's property market could also get a boost from an increase in the number of properties available to buy, which has been cited by investors as an issue, a separate survey showed.
Property adviser DTZ said it expected 21 billion euros $27.3 billion (18.28 billion pounds) of commercial property to come to the market by 2017 as German open-ended funds liquidate. Forced sales are likely to reach record levels in 2014-2017, increasing available assets particularly in Germany and Netherlands, it said.
By type of property, the CBRE survey found that logistics leapfrogged shopping centres to become the second most popular sector, favoured by 20 percent of respondents compared with 14 percent in 2011. Offices were the most popular at 29 percent, marginally higher on the year.
Investors such as private equity giant Blackstone Group (BX.N) have been buying warehouses and logistics facilities across Europe, encouraged by the higher yields and by the growth of online shopping which has spurred demand for such sites at the expense of bricks-and-mortar stores.

Subspecialty Careers: Highlights about Careers in Internal Medicine: Cardiology
The Discipline
From the Greek kardia, meaning heart, as used in the Hippocratic treatises.
Cardiology is the prevention, diagnosis, and management of disorders of the cardiovascular system, including ischemic heart disease, cardiac dysrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, valvular heart disease, pericarditis and myocarditis, endocarditis, congenital heart disease in adults, hypertension, and disorders of the veins, arteries, and pulmonary circulation. Management of risk factors for disease and early diagnosis and intervention for established disease are important elements of cardiology.
Important procedural skills in cardiology include: cardioversion; arterial catheter insertion; balloon-tipped pulmonary artery catheter insertion; temporary and permanent pacemaker insertion; implantable cardiac defibrillator insertion; ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring; echocardiography; left ventricular catheterization, coronary angiography and percutaneous vascular interventions; nuclear scan wall motion studies; stress electrocardiography; thallium perfusion scanning; and tilt-table physiology studies.
Cardiovascular fellowship training requires three years of accredited training beyond general internal medicine residency. Of the three years, a minimum of 24 months must include clinical training in the diagnosis and management of a broad spectrum of cardiovascular disease.
Training Positions
As of 2005, there were 173 ACGME-accredited training programs in Cardiovascular Disease and 2,142 active trainees. Eighteen percent of the trainees were female and 65% were US medical graduates.
The American Board of Internal Medicine, ABIM, offers certification in cardiovascular disease.
Approximately 82% of the graduates enter clinical practice in cardiology in the United States, and 16% enter academic medicine.

I posted a thread about my "new" truck purchase. In that I mention the problem I was having with getting P0031 and P0051 error codes. Now I am posting the fix (in my case at least). If anyone else gets both codes at the same time.
1) I grabbed the FSM from this thread. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd...ir-manual.html
2) Found the section for my error codes.
3) Followed it down to the place where both codes meet (AF Heater Relay).
4) Found where the in cabin relay box was located. (Picture below behind the battery).
5) Found the correct relay for the AF Heater- Pulled it out. Man It's a bitch I tell you. In the picture below the AF Heater relay is circled red.
6) Pulled the Fog lamps Relay circled in gray (I tested this one an it was good- fog lights worked)
7) Switched them.
8) Restarted truck. No CEL. No battery clear. Truck is suppose to clear the CEL after start up once condition is cleared.
9) Drove around. Restarted a dozen more times. No CEL.
Hope this helps you.

The PlayStation Vita finally has a release date. Sony today confirmed that its next portable gaming system will arrive in North America, Europe, Latin America, Australasia, the Middle East, and Africa on February 22. That puts the system's international launch two months after its Japanese debut, as Sony confirmed a December 17 bow for the hardware in its home territory of Japan.
A Wi-Fi-only version of the Vita will cost $249, and a Wi-Fi/3G model will retail for $299. European pricing for the console will be €249 (Wi-Fi) and €299 (Wi-Fi/3G), while Japanese pricing will be ¥24,980 (Wi-Fi) and ¥29,980 (Wi-Fi/3G).
In Australia, the Vita will cost A$450 for the Wi-Fi/3G model, and A$350 for the Wi-Fi-only version, while in the UK the 3G version will cost £279.99, and the Wi-Fi-only version will retail for £229.99.
While the launch dates and prices for the PS Vita are set, there remain a number of questions regarding the handheld. For one, the international launch lineups remain unknown. The Japanese lineup has already been detailed as consisting of 26 titles, among them Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Lord of Apocalypse. Additionally, Sony has said the system's US-based 3G service will be provided by AT&T, but hasn't revealed any pricing for the data plans, or whether they would be contractual or monthly.

ECB appoints French and Such
The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced that ex-England cricketers Bruce French and Peter Such will join the staff at the National Cricket Performance Centre as consultant specialist coaches covering wicketkeeping and spin bowling respectively.
French, who played 16 Tests and 13 ODIs for England between 1986 and 1988, has been involved with the ECB as a part-time coaching consultant working, amongst others, with Matt Prior, James Foster and Steven Davies.
This new role will see him continue to work closely with all wicketkeepers throughout the England Cricket Pathway, including the England team, England Performance Programme and Elite Player Development programme.
He will also be responsible for liaising with the ECB Coach Education team to assist with the development and implementation of its wicketkeeping programmes as well as working alongside county coaches and county Academy directors to develop future talent.
Such will be responsible for supporting the most talented young spinners and establishing a spin bowling programme to ensure a clear pathway for future cricketers. Mushtaq Ahmed continues in his role as spin bowling coach to the England team.
Such represented England 11 times between 1993 and 1999, taking 37 wickets at an average of 33.56.
Most notably, this included a six-wicket haul (6-67) on his Test debut against Australia. Since retiring from first-class cricket in 2001 he was employed as Academy director at Essex before establishing his own coaching organisation.
Commentating on these two appointments, David Parsons, ECB performance director, said: "The arrival of Peter and Bruce means we have now have specialist coaches employed across all the disciplines of the game.
"I am confident that both Peter and Bruce will do an outstanding job in developing future specialists for England."
Such and French will join the ECB specialist coaching team, based at the NCPC, which includes:
- Kevin Shine, fast bowling
- Dene Hills, batting
- Richard Halsall, fielding

The last week has probably just been a nervous blur of excitement for fans of Wales' own ultimate sci-fi show, and the build-up towards tonight's showdown with the Daleks has been truly world- class. The Doctor is helpless, and even the Tardis faces destruction. The only hope lies with the Doctor's secret army of companions, but as they join forces to battle Davros, the prophecy declares that one of them will die. Expect tears and heartache among the extraordinary action in an episode that guarantees at least one familiar face will not return for the next series.

BOTHA-BOTHE – Mining companies and expatriate workers continue to flout the country's labour laws with impunity, while the ministry of labour turns a blind eye and at times grants them fraudulent permits, Public Eye has observed.
This paper last week learned that the department of labour, in the ministry of labour and employment, allowed 12 expatriates employed by Botha-Bothe based Kao Diamond Mine, to work in the country without work permits.
The paper has established that the ministry of labour conducts routine visits to various mining companies to assess working conditions and the state of workers' contractual requirements, on both local and expatriate workforce.
Employees at Kao revealed to Public Eye that an inspectorate team from the ministry discovered the 12 immigrants working at the mine during one of these routine inspections, said to have taken place in May.
All of foreign employees had been working at the mine without legal documentation as is required by law.
The ministry, however, granted the workers a two-week period to sort their work permits out and the government official warned them to regularize their status which they reportedly failed to do, as was discovered by the inspectorate team on a subsequent visit to the mine.
In a surprise twist of events the 12 emigrants had, as authorisation to work in Lesotho, a letter from the department of labour allowing them to work in Lesotho for two years, despite known legal requirements.
The May 27, 2014, letter which this paper has seen, has been authored by the department's Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health, and Industrial Relations and addressed to the managing director Consulmet Construction, a company sub-contracted by Storm Mountain Diamonds which operates the mine.
The letter partly reads: "Please be informed that the below-mentioned employees of your company have been granted permission to continue with work so that they can finish the project on time.
"Note, however, that the permission is valid for two years from the date reflected on the stamp."
The letter was signed by a T Thehisi on behalf of the Labour Commissioner 'Mamohale Matsoso, and bears the stamp of the District Labour Office dated May 27, 2014.
When Public Eye sought the response of the labour ministry on the matter, officials expressed shock and disowned the letter; the ministry said they don't even have a T Thehisi in their employ.
Spokesperson, Malefetsane Nchaka, told the paper the ministry had sought the assistance of the police in the matter as it was an evident case of fraud.
"We don't even know the person who is purported to have signed the letter; we are investigating what actually transpired. Secondly, this is an odd case because the ministry only grants workers permission to work here through work-permits and not such letters," said Nchaka.
Nchaka made an assurance that the labour ministry would get to the bottom of the matter, adding "…we will establish how this fraudulent document was acquired, and from whom."
According to section 165 of the Labour Code Order of 1992, which provides employment conditions for expatriates in the country "…no employer shall employ any person in Lesotho who is not a citizen of Lesotho and such person shall accept employment in Lesotho unless that person is in possession of a valid certificate of employment (work permit) issued by Labour Commissioner."
It further provides: "Any employer who employs any person or any person who accepts employment in contradiction of subsection (1) or (2) (noted above) of this section shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine of M1, 000 or six months imprisonment, or both."
The 12 expatriates are said to be holding positions of site managers, project managers, crane operators, boiler makers, fitters and directors at the mine.
