Monaca company's products sharpen nurse education
Nurses in training used to have two options to practice administering injections: on oranges and each other.
Injecting saline into fruit was far from the real thing. The other method was just a little unsafe.
"That's the way it had always been done," said Anthony Battaglia, founder of Monaca-based Pocket Nurse. "I went to nursing school in 1990. We had a skill lab, but it was very basic."
Battaglia knew even then that there had to be a better way to train the next generation of nursing educators. And he has built his company around that premise.
Thanks in part to him, there is no need for nurses to abuse fruit — or each other — for their medical education. Today, they practice on a hockey-puck sized spongy disc called the "Inject Ed," the biggest seller of about 8,000 products sold by Pocket Nurse, the company Battaglia founded in 1992.
Products that simulate a clinical setting have gained increased use in medical training programs for nurses, pharmacists and other health care professionals. The Affordable Care Act has driven hospitals to expect more from health care workers with fewer certifications, who are being asked to perform many duties once handled by doctors amid an influx of new patients with often complicated medical problems.
In catering to this need, Pocket Nurse has grown from a single product company into one that makes and sells items ranging from medical mannequins to fake blood. The market is expected to grow 15 percent annually and reach nearly $1 billion in North America by 2020, according to India-based market research firm Meticulous Research.
Larger competitors such as Seattle-based Simulab Corp. have focused on physician education, offering tools for surgeons in training. Pocket Nurse carved its niche serving nursing programs and, more recently, pharmacy technicians. They are disciplines that are giving increased attention to simulation in their training.
"Simulation is effective because it provides an opportunity to learn that is not in a live setting," said Lisa Lifshin, director of pharmacy technician accreditation and residency services at the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists. "This way, it's not affecting a patient and it certainly provides a safer environment to learn."
Last year, the society began requiring 80 hours of lab simulation for pharmacy technician programs that it accredits. The stepped-up emphasis on simulation among professions outside of nursing has opened opportunities for Pocket Nurse, said Matthew Inman, the company's director of sales and business development.
"There will always be plenty of work and opportunity staying in nursing simulation but ... those other disciplines are now taking notice," he said. "And because of that, we have to expand our product offering and the way we look at the market because, for one, if we don't, we're losing out on opportunity."
Simulation training has come a long way since Battaglia started the company as a young nurse at Allegheny General Hospital. He began with the Pocket Nurse, a pocket organizer that included bandage scissors, hemostat and a penlight. A family physician had given Battaglia the idea and he began by selling it to pharmaceuticalreps, who would give it away as a promotional item.
Battaglia soon saw other opportunities to make products for nursing education.
"More people started jumping on simulation. They started building simulation centers," he said. "The whole industry just started to grow and we were first in line."
Concern for patient safety has driven the shift. Medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America behind heart disease and cancer, according to the National Patient Safety Foundation.
Schools have sought to cut back on those errors by making sure nurses are trained in scenarios that are as realistic as possible, said Mary Ellen Glasgow, dean of Duquesne University's School of Nursing.
Duquesne opened a state-of-the-art simulation center last year and equipped it with Pocket Nurse products. Glasgow said Battaglia's experience as a nurse has given him an edge in understanding the needs of clinical nurses and developing products to teach them.
"He really understands nursing education and nurses' daily work," she said. "It's not some consultant coming in. What nurses do is a theme throughout his company at every step."
Some of the best market research comes from the nurse educators themselves, Battaglia said. He solicits their feedback to stay on top of the latest trends affecting how they do their jobs.
Battaglia wants the company's products to be relevant, not just so that nursing programs will buy them, but ultimately so that it will improve care for patients.
"If you can better education, then it's better for everybody. Better for the nurses, better for the patients," he said. "You're always striving for better outcomes. With simulation, you have the opportunity with an educated person to have better outcomes."

CBS also announces that lead star Mark Harmon, who is also credited as an executive producer for the drama series, has extended his contract with the show.
"NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" will return for an eleventh season. The renewal comes as no surprise since the police procedural drama series has been named the most-watched TV program in the last two years.
Along with the announcement of the new season pickup, CBS reveals that lead actor and executive producer Mark Harmon has extended his contract with the show. His deal would have been up after the current tenth season.
"In a world gone niche, NCIS keeps getting bigger, and Mark Harmon continues to define the role of leading man on the #1 show on television," CBS president Leslie Moonves says in a statement. "NCIS is the type of franchise every company wants in today's global content ecosystem - high-quality storytelling that generates passionate viewers and drives revenue on every conceivable platform."
Also starring Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pablo, Sean Murray, Pauley Perrette, Rocky Carroll, Brian Dietzen and David McCallum, "NCIS" continues to be a ratings juggernaut for CBS after a decade. Its current season is averaging 21.48 million viewers, up 7% over last year.

Vanderbilt MBA 2010
Foreign Service Officer, Public Diplomacy at U.S. Department of State
If you've ever stood admiringly in front of the fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, you have a sense for the work Lindsey White once managed. She was a project coordinator for WET Design, which built the Bellagio fountains and other large-scale water features.
Managing projects was nothing new for Captain White, who helped oversee airfield operations for six years after graduating from the Air Force Academy. However, she says, "Much of what I knew centered around the military and people management." She realized that to reach the next levels in corporate America, she needed to broaden her business foundation.
Vanderbilt, just an hour from her hometown of Clarksville, Tennessee, allowed Lindsey to be close to family. But what sold her on Owen was that "everyone on staff seemed concerned with the fit of their students. It made me feel being admitted to Owen had something to do with who I was and how I could contribute, not my ability to sign a check.
"It's nice to know I've put my faith in an academic institution that has lived up to its name while helping me to create a better one for myself."

Kluesner, 25, said the move will give him more office space and more visibility than his previous Fifth Street location.
Kluesner, who graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a bachelor's degree in business, has been an agent and owned his own Farmers agency for two years.
"I enjoy what I do," he said. "I get to meet new people and develop long-term relationships with them, while I take care of all their insurance needs."
The office is open at the new location from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For more information, people may call 636-266-0222.

It is very possible that your non-Catholic Christian friends do not intend to be insulting but are asking as a prelude to "witnessing" to you. By answering their question with a "yes," you are affirming that you are Christian. By adding that you are Catholic, you are informing them of your Catholic affiliation and that you consider Catholics to be Christians.

Prudential business leaders reflect on findings from women's study
Our eighth biennial study on the "Financial Experience & Behaviors Among Women" uncovers optimism about recovering markets and encouraging short-term improvements, but troubling long-term trends.
With the economy and financial markets continuing to improve, women appear to be less worried about their financial security than they were in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
Women still have a number of identifiable financial goals, of course. High on their list: having enough money to maintain their lifestyle throughout retirement, to cover health care expenses and to reduce personal debt. They also don't want to become a financial burden to loved ones or outlive their savings. And they define financial success as achieving a comfortable, financially secure retirement. The difference is simply that they no longer attach as high a degree of importance to these goals as they did a few years ago.
Nonetheless, women we surveyed feel no more prepared to make wise financial decisions today than they did two years ago or even a decade ago. Nor has their understanding of financial and insurance products improved. Not surprisingly, the Confidence Gap—our measure of women's confidence in their ability to achieve their financial goals—has not improved over that 10-year span, either.
Despite these findings, women—like men—still do not tend to seek out financial professionals to help them achieve their goals. This is particularly concerning given that women increasingly are making the financial decisions in their households. Nearly half of women—44 percent—are the primary breadwinners in their households, and 27 percent of married women now say they "take control" of financial and retirement planning and manage it themselves, up from 14 percent in 2006.
One of the biggest perceived impediments to reaching financial goals is not having enough disposable income to dedicate toward them, cited by about half of women. But they also admit to a lack of familiarity with financial products and the sense that they simply don't know what to consider when evaluating their options.
While the survey paints a troubling picture of their long-term financial preparedness, the results indicate that women are more confident in their ability to manage day-to-day finances. And they have advice for financial services firms about how to help them achieve their long-term financial goals: simplify the process, stop using so much jargon, look out for the customer's interests, and maintain a strong code of ethics.
At Prudential, we remain steadfast in our commitment to improve women's financial literacy, and to develop innovative tools and resources to help them create a clear path toward a more secure retirement.

Published: March 31, 2010 at 10:56 AMSpidey is king. Pirates is a classic attraction that has stood the test of time. PotC is one of my favorite rides but Spidey continues to impress me, 10 years after its opening. This will be a fun match up to watch.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:02 AMyeah pirates is a classic, but come on people its up against the most innovative, high tech ride ever built, spidey all the way.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:02 AMI love Pirates, esp. the original version (which is far better than the WDW version.) But, Spidey is the same sort of groundbreaking attraction now that Pirates was when it opened, nothing is even close to the technological excellence of Spidey.
I voted for Spidey, it's the best ride in any themepark.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:06 AMwow it is so close!!!! i had to bring it down to which one can i ride the most without getting bored...theres a bit more of a thrill and uniqueness with spidey so i had to go against my fav on this one....one vote for spidey!
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:10 AMI had to go with Pirates. 3D doesn't work for everyone unfortunately. I'm fine, but I have a friend who's legally blind in one eye. And there are some people who can't wear 3D glasses over their prescription ones.
Plus I'm not sold on 3D movies or attractions. They have their place, but I prefer solid AA's that move in actual physical space and regular non-3D cinema... with Alice and Clash, 3D doesn't add anything to it... other than the extra money you spend.
I actually prefer how Pirates doesn't have a ridiculous amount of exposition like some others do... like the Mummy. Pirates lets you imagine what is going on in each scene... why a character is doing what they're doing. Rather than being force fed the story, even with the new additions, Pirates lets your imagination work even if you haven't seen the movies.
I'm not saying that Spidey is a bad ride at all... it's phenomenal. But when it comes down to it... 40 years down the road, I'd rather ride Pirates than Spidey.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:14 AMI think the reason why Disney is either trumping or competing is because it is a ride that stays in your mind for years. I mean, Yo Ho! Yo Ho! is a catchy tune and has very memorable scenes. I mean the jail? the auctioneer? the man in the well? the woman chasing the pirate with a broom? all genius!
That is not saying Spiderman is a terrible ride, but quite the opposite, its probably Universal's crowning achievement in dark rides. Walt Disney would have probably tried to get it at WDW first or would tell the Imagineers to push the envelope on the concept. So would Walt like Spiderman? You bet!
Also, lets not forget that some of us have a minor bias on certain companies rides due to our past and present associations (me included).
As the votes are showing, this is a super hard pick to make because this is the ultimate Disney vs. Universal showdown where we have the strongest of both!
Please also remember, this is the DL version, NOT WDW. Its much longer and better themed!
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:21 AMNo one is debating the merit of these two top notch attractions - they are both amazing. However, I agree with the previous poster who said even Walt would have like Spider-Man better...
Now, if you include the Blue Bayou as part of the attraction, then PotC wins hands-down!
W/out the Blue Bayou, I voted for Spider-Man, my all time favorite theme park attraction.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 12:45 PMI'm fine with either going all the way. They're both flagship attractions that deserve it. I prefer themed attractions over coasters anyday.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:29 AMThis was a tough call, but I went with Spidey for the following reasons:
I'd love to see another Spidey-Tower match-up, just like the first tournament.
Spiderman has yet to be named the Best Theme Park Attraction in America, a title it deserved the year it premiered. With attractions like Transformers and Harry Potter debuting soon, this may be Spidey's last chance.
In terms of the actual attraction, I like Pirates better. The blissfulness of the bayou scene, the eeriness of the skeleton pirates, the hilarity in the auction scene - they are all great. However, I have a problem with the way the attraction is run. It puts people through at an amazing rate, but I find that the boats always pileup before the jail scene. This is aggravating, as you end up sitting almost stationary for 5-10 minutes, listening to the Pirates repeat the same lines over and over. For me, it takes a lot out of the attraction.
Spiderman for the win. QED.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 11:46 AMcomeback by pirates, not good.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 1:20 PMPirates will win.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 2:09 PMThere was no hanky panky. I rallied the support of my fellow Disney fans via devoted (if not cult like) fan pages and my contacts. I am a former CP and about to go back, and whenever you have a ride that has a fan website like doombuggies devoted to it, or three (soon to be four) highly popular films based off of it, I think those rides will find support. Both Pirates and Haunted Mansion have been around 40 years plus and still get more riders than ToT and Spiderman. They deserve the title.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 2:32 PMAdam, if I may play Devil's Advocate, Spider-Man had 3 movies too (Two decent ones and one terrible one) And HM had a horrible one. And I will bite my tongue about the Pirates sequels. =)
But I agree, Pirates and HM have huge fan followings. I mean, I love Spider-Man (especially the Ultimate Spider-Man version) and his character has been around what seems like forever...
There's something to be said about a theme park attraction that wasn't spawned through an existing movie, comic, or tv show yet can have a ginormous fanbase.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 3:31 PMhonestly, pirates bores me. I went on it a few months ago b/c I forgot how bad it was..I like something a little more than just sitting a boat and looking around at stuff..I could easily fall asleep on pirates..
Published: March 31, 2010 at 3:50 PMBrutally tough choice for me. Both attractions are among my all-time favorites. Both are immersive, clever, satisfying and thrilling experiences. I went with Pirates, but I'm sad to see Spidey losing in this matchup, anyway. Truly a great ride.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 3:51 PMI am a huge Spider-Man fan, and I think overall it is a better attraction than Pirates. However, there is no shame in losing to one of the greatest themed attractions of all time. I still think PotC is the best ride at Disneyland and after all these years, that fact alone should merit special rewards.
I just hope the Disney fans show up in large enough numbers to compete with the social media army of Busch Gardens or Holiday World when the time comes... right now, I don't think they have enough participation to do it.
It is a shame Universal did not come out to play this year. Spider-Man so deserves the mantle of Best Themed Attraction for at least one year as it really is the experience by which all modern themed attractions are judged.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 3:57 PMHowever great Pirates of the Caribbean is... come on!!! BEST THEME PARK ATTRACTION between the two is definitely Adventures of Spider-Man!
REALLY!!!-- get a crowd of people who've lived in a cave and have never visited a theme park... let alone ride an themed attraction... and I SWEAR those people will enjoy Spider-Man much more.
Yes, Pirates of the Caribbean is enjoyable, memorable, catchy, yadda yadda blah blah... but we're voting for the BEST THEME PARK ATTRACTION!!! And Spider-Man is also enjoyable, memorable, catchy yadda yadda blah blah AND innovative, intelligent, thrilling and MORE yadda yadda.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 4:52 PMLike some of the previous posters have said Spidey is the best theme park attraction, period. Forget about movies or nostalgia or anything else. Spidey gives the overall better theme park experience. Pirates is wonderful and great but Spidey has been king since '99. This website(and a bunch of others) had it as the top attraction for so many years for a reason. So a couple of Disney fan sites got involved and Pirates will more than likely move on in this tourney. But most of us know which one of the two truly delivers the best themed ride experience. It's a shame it came down to a Universal vs. Disney showdown, instead of focusing on the ride themeselves.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 8:17 PMPirates is a great ride. Great storytelling, overall very timeless and exciting to say the least, but Spiderman is just... It's simply mindblowing. I'm VERYVERYVERY mad Spiderman lost. >:[
Published: March 31, 2010 at 9:43 PM10 years from now, Pirates will still be a favorite, and Universal will be trying to figure out what to do with Spiderman. Spider-man is not a timeless attraction. The technology is already old. They already need to update the 3-d to the new digital 3d that doesn't have all of the ghosting.
Published: March 31, 2010 at 10:31 PMThat;s what's fascinating about Pirates...it's one of the few rides where it realizes it doesn't need to tell a comprehensive story to be a great attraction. As others have said, I'm not a huge 3D fan. I think building physical sets, animatronics, etc., is much more challenging and makes for a better ride as there's always something new to see. With 3D movies, you're only seeing what they want you to see. The details are really lacking on rides that use 3D. Say what you want, but I truly believe Pirates and Haunted Mansion are the 2 greatest theme park attractions ever. Just because Spidey and ToT are more technically advanced doesn't make them better attractions. Technology does not a good attraction make. If it did, MILF would beat the majority attractions in this tournament...
Published: March 31, 2010 at 10:47 PMLet's also not forget it was a surge of Universal fans that pushed Revenge of the Mummy into the winning position last year. While it may be a great attraction, it is easily NOT the beat theme park attraction.
Published: April 1, 2010 at 3:57 AMI have no issue with Disneyland's Pirates advancing. It is a truly great attraction and deserving of the mantle of Best. Personally, I think Spidey is the better attraction, but at this point we are splitting hairs.
Problem is, Disney brought about 375 votes to the table today to get this win, right? Holiday World and Busch easily doubled that amount in their last two contests. So unless some Disney fanboys are busy trying to mobilize the all-too-pensive Disney Army, this tournament will go to the winner of the upcoming Voyage vs. Apollo's Chariot contest. Which means for the first year in recent memory, the Theme Park Insider Best Attraction Tournament will be won by an unthemed attraction.
So stop counting your pins and princess photos, Disney Fanboys, and GOTV!
(Shhh, don't tell anyone, but this Disney Fanboy is secretly pulling for the underdog Voyage to win it all. So bring your army, as I will definitely be bringing mine!).
Published: April 1, 2010 at 6:42 AMI love spiderman, but im content with pirates winning. Its still a great, immersive ride that has continued to be my favorite dark ride at any disney park.
Published: April 1, 2010 at 7:13 AMGOTV is a bunch of nonsense when it comes to a tourney such as this. Good for Robert for getting all the traffic and unique hits, but it's a failed way of going about advancing competitors to the next round. People just blindly choosing because of allegiance to a park or attraction cheapens the whole spirit of things in my opinion. Ultimately this is for fun and not scientific and I get that. Still, I would like to see something like this set up, but closed off to the general public, and the attractions are voted on by a community of people who work in the industry and judge the match ups based on realistic criteria. As it stands now, each year the tourney devolves into a social networking contest, rather than a pure competition.
Published: April 1, 2010 at 7:38 AMdouble post, sorry
Published: April 1, 2010 at 8:07 AMThere was really no social networking involved in this particular contest. Neither Disney nor Universal are doing anything... it is all just fans and fan loyalty.
Now, as for Busch and Holiday World... they are heavily involved in social media, which is why they are getting a larger voter turnout.
Still, all these attractions are top notch, so at the end of the day, unless something like Primeval Whirl (puh-lease!) were to win, aren't we pretty much just splitting hairs anyway?
Published: April 1, 2010 at 8:43 AMMy only problem with closing a competition like this to the public is that it becomes very political just like the Grammys, Oscars, you name it. I don't want someone telling me that something's the best Attraction or Ride in America. If a good majority of fans on TPI vote for one ride, so be it. I do agree that fanboy mentality is bad though... a bad ride or show is a bad ride or show no matter which way you spin it. In no way should Heimlich's Chew Chew Train ever beat something like Waterworld. (I'm still disappointed that Waterworld lost early)
I LoL'ed at the "stop collecting your pins and vote Disney Fans" comment. It's true! I'm a Universal & Disney fan, but I've never wanted to collect pins and trade them in the way that the hardcore pin traders do. If I like the artwork on a pin, I might buy it. Other than that, they just stay attached to a backpack or cork board.
Published: April 1, 2010 at 8:46 AMA fan over here, going to other fan community social sites to mobilize other fans for the sole purpose of voting for a specific attraction and not to partake in an unbiased competition is a form of social networking. I'm no fan of it as it pertains to this scenario, but if you have the same attractions in the finals every year, that would get boring also, so it's a catch 22 really.
For the most part, the match ups have been tough to choose from this year, and I liked that. It's made for tougher choices when trying to decide what justifies your pick in a round. Sure there have been blowouts, but the days of Spiderman versus Dumbo are well behind us it seems. I've been torn many times this year, and took my time in deciding why I think an attraction deserved to advance. The same can not be said for people funneling in from ride/park specific sites who are sent here on a mission.
Primeval Whirl as well as all of the Dino-Rama disaster playset should be tactically nuked right off the Animal Kingdom map.
Published: April 1, 2010 at 11:38 AMAbsolutely James, now that would be using social networking for the good of ALL mankind :)

note rg0now  I don't know if it's implemented yet, but you should be able to make that last line:  say@l[$i...];
 Again, Pugs knows better...:-) It does not seem to work with the current svn build.
  say@l[(@l>9??@l-10::0)...];  Yes, I tried similar solution myself, too, but Pugs does not let me to incorporate the ternary operator into the array index. What is pretty interesting playing around with Pugs is that usually it proves itself much more flexible in parsing complex Perl 6 statements than I would have expected it, but every now and then even the simplest ideas fail with some obscure error messages. It is getting better all the time, though.

SPORTS >> Gwatney A team goes unbeaten at Memorial
Leader sports writer
IN SHORT: The Jacksonville Class A American Legion team went 2-0-1 at North Little Rocks Memorial Day tournament.
It was a successful tourney for Gwatney Chevrolet in this years Memorial Day single-A American Legion tournament at Vince De Salvo Stadium in Burns Park. The Chevy boys took wins over Vilonia and Searcy, and tied with Fayetteville in the Saturday night game to earn the No. 2 seed in Mondays rained-out finals.
Jacksonville started the tournament Friday night with a 9-3 win over Vilonia. Vilonia took the early lead scoring two runs in the first inning.
Gwatneys first run of the game came off an unassisted run from Shane Graham. Graham reached with a base on balls, and stole his way to third base before scoring off a wild pitch. Vilonia held on to a 2-1 lead until the fifth inning, when Jacksonvilles offense came to life.
Darius Christopher started things off for Gwatney in the inning by reaching with an error, and scored on a single RBI from Travis Twitty. Another fielding error allowed Shane Graham to reach first. Graham would score on a passed ball, before Cameron Hood and Adrian Baker added scores after both being walked.
Vilonia added its final run in the sixth inning, but Jacksonville answered with two more runs from McMunn and Twitty in the sixth to secure the win.
Saturdays late game with Fayetteville was the closest Gwatney came to a loss in the entire tournament, but time was called at nearly 1 a.m. with the score tied at four runs apiece. Fayetteville had also tied with North Little Rock 5-5 earlier in the evening.
Jacksonvilles most dominant performance in the tourney came in the Sunday game against the Searcy B & B Oil team. Gwatney took the win 8-2, with a fielding error allowing the only two Searcy runs of the game.
Cameron Hood took the win for Gwatney, going the entire six innings on the mound. Hood allowed two hits and walked three batters while striking out five.
Adam Ussery scored first for Jacksonville in the top of the first. Ussery was walked by starting Searcy pitcher Chad Cates, and stole his way to third before scoring on a passed ball.
Cates struggled on the mound for Searcy, walking three of the first four Jacksonville batters in the top of the third inning. Ussery, Hood and Adrian Baker all received the free pass to first, loading the bases for Jacksonville with only one out. A sacrifice fly from Twitty allowed Ussery to tag up for his second run of the evening, giving Gwatney a 2-0 lead after three innings.
Hood sent B & B Oil three and out in the bottom of the third, and Jacksonville then took to the plate for the game-sealer in the top of the fourth.
Gwatney once again loaded the bases on Cates to start the inning. A ground-rule double from Hood over the centerfield wall scored Clayton Fenton and Christopher. Searcy then finally put Cates out of his misery, sending Jordan Roberson in as relief pitcher.
A fielding error by shortstop Roger Glaude on a grounder from Baker scored Shane Graham and Hood for a 6-0 lead.
Hoods hopes for a shut out were dashed in the bottom of the fifth inning, when a hard toss from Hood to first baseman Baker for the third out was missed, scoring Kendall Chasteen and Jason Jennings.
Jennings was the third Searcy pitcher to throw to start the sixth inning, and gave up two runs. Hood got his third RBI of the game with another double to score Ussery once again, before scoring himself on a passed ball that would have been a strikeout on Josh Graham. Graham made it all the way to second on the mishap, as Hoods run set the final margin in the contest.
Jacksonville and North Little Rock both ended bracket-A play with two wins and a tie for the best records of the tourney, but the Colts received the No. 1 seed by allowing less runs than Gwatney in their three games to earn the tiebreaker. It was all for naught, however, as the Memorial Day rains forced the cancellation of the finals.
Jacksonvilles record now stands at 3-1-1 after week one.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Many Spanish radio stations are known for their loud and flamboyant disc jockeys, fast and energetic music programming, and over-the-top contests and giveaways. Recuerdo is none of that. Its on-air personalities speak softly and smoothly, and the music consists of boleros and música romántica that will at the same time calm you and put you in an amorous mood. Throughout the day, you might hear anyone from Vicente Fernandez, Ana and Juan Gabriel, Los Temerarios, Los Bukis or Juan Luis Guerra.
It's hard to imagine that we're less than three years removed from Robert Ellis's stint playing Whiskey Wednesdays at Mango's and then Fitzgerald's. From that small but loyal fan base — and even earlier in previous band Eyes Like Lions — Ellis has seen his star deservedly rise on the shoulders of his 2011 New West Records debut, Photographs. Along with his 2012 move to Wimberley and eventually Nashville, that year also saw Ellis nominated for an Americana Music Award for Best Emerging Artist alongside eventual winners Alabama Shakes. While all the praise being poured on Ellis is enough to make Houston proud, it's a damn shame you can't find Ellis at Fitz on a weekly basis anymore.
This past summer, the Blaffer Art Museum, nestled on the University of Houston campus, paid the hefty sum of $2.3 million for total reconstruction surgery, and the money was incredibly well spent. The facade evolved into a stunning windowed parallelogram, which both sticks out and enhances the lackluster brick buildings of UH. The interior space is now sprawling and bright, an open and airy dedication to the visual arts. Thin tubes of light cover the ceilings, making for a modern yet classy feel. On the second floor, a balcony overlooks the main gallery, which the museum is now dedicating to emerging artists. If you haven't been since the renovation, do yourself a favor and go.
Poets, novelists and essayists get rock-star receptions at Inprint's two popular reading series, the Margarett Root Brown Reading Series for adults and Cool Brains! for young readers. Authors scheduled for 2013-2014 season readings/onstage interviews and signing sessions include James McBride, George Saunders, Anne Carson and Khaled Hosseini. Past authors have ranged from internationally known Salman Rushdie to Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket. Local writers aren't overlooked, with Houston talent including the city's first poet laureate, Gwendolyn Zepeda, appearing at Inprint readings.
Dedicated in 2006, this ceramic tile mosaic celebrates the rich history of Houston's Fifth Ward by featuring the faces of some truly amazing people who came from the neighborhood — Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland and George Foreman. In a city known for bulldozing the past to make room for strip malls or townhomes, murals like this one — which reflect upon and teach about the area's cultural heritage — are all the more valuable. It's a remarkable piece of art and a reminder of a remarkable legacy.
Any dancer will tell you that there's a special connection that forms during the run of a performance; the intimacy and trust are necessary for a dance ensemble to be successful. Now put a group of dancers in the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall Park and make them perform in the streaming fountain, and imagine the level of confidence they must have in each other. In "Natural Acts in Artificial Water," renowned choreographer Stephan Koplowitz and his initiative TaskForce created a masterful ensemble production based on the architecture, history, culture and ecology of the park, and the result was one of the most stunning collaborative dance performance pieces this year.

"A clean beaver always finds more wood". "A polished knob gets more turns". These are not as it turns out, taglines from the triumphant 21st century return of the Carry On franchise, but actual advertising copy from Playtex's latest invention, Fresh 'N' Sexy wipes.
These adults only Wet Ones are "designed", as you might have gathered from the "suits you, sir" copy, for people to tidy up their bits before and after they love each other in a very special way.
Playtex's press release put it this way: "[A] brand new before-and-after intimate wipe specially designed to help couples feel confidently clean every time they engage in sexual activity."
Confidence! As you might already be aware, vaginal "cleanliness" is key to confidence, if we are to believe products like Summer's Eve, which cheerfully advised women everywhere to douche in order to get a raise.
More from the press release, which reads increasingly like an Onion article the further you get into it: "The brand's tagline: 'Clean where it Counts' came out of the strategic insight that sex is more fun when you're confident. "Because when you're clean where it counts you're ready for anything," Ms. McCormick ads."
Well gosh, Johnny, I didn't think I was ready for that vaguely terrifying sex sling you've constructed from kitchen utensils and inner tubes, but now that my vag is confidently clean, I'm up for it!
If we're clutching at straws, and other phallic allusions, at least the boys have been included in this latest witch hazel infused volley from the dark ages of sexual puritanism. Grab a cup of tea and we can unpack what's wrong with the campaign: the idea that vaginas and penises (penii?) are unclean, the idea - by extension - that sex is dirty, the idea that clean vaginas are sexier...
"Sex isn't always a planned event that can be prepared for. With Fresh + Sexy wipes, couples now have a way to be clean and ready for even the most spontaneous moments. They can be ready for intimacy whenever - and wherever - the mood strikes."
You beaut! I was concerned that I wouldn't be ready for intimacy when I finished scaling K2, but I brought my Fresh 'N' Sexy with me!
Whatever happened to the innocent days where a couple would leap in the shower together? Are we expected to retreat to separate corners of the room and fiddle with little foil pouches until we feel sufficiently "confident" to return to bed for a play-by-play?
Now, I'm not interested in getting high and mighty here: criticisms of products like Summer's Eve are too often less about attacking the retrograde marketing strategies that invent the "need" for the products in the first place, and more about attacking the sorts of silly women who think their vaginas are unclean. I don't need to trot out the same old "the vagina is self-cleaning" line (even though it's true) that we've been spinning since Germaine Greer had a crack at feminine hygiene way back in Oz in 1970 in her essay, The politics of female sexuality.
(And gee, I wonder why - bombarded as they are by fragranced tampons and nonsense like Fresh 'N' Sexy - women might start to wonder if their vaginas are unclean?)
The use of the things is up to personal choice; I've been known to pack a few off-brand vag wipes for a long-distance plane trip, or a comic convention where I'll be spending over eight hours in spandex. Plenty of people will stow a package of vag wipes' less politically charged relatives, Wet Ones, for a camping or road trip.
No, the marketing is the bad guy here. At its core, it's insidious shame-based nonsense; it follows that the thought process in the consumer is "Wait, if there's a cleaning product available for this body part, it must be dirty".
Few people are interested in a heady whiff of l'eau de tang, but if it comes down to it, as it were, surely most adult humans would rather smell or get a mouthful of actual human body rather than "natural botanicals, like cranberry, chamomile, and aloe"?
My "peach" may be unclean by Playtex's 1950s standards, but at least it doesn't smell like a peach. And that, believe it or not Playtex, makes me confident and ready for anything! Even s-e-x.

"We love because he first loved us." (I John 4:19)
Showcasing the color of love offset with cool shine, this July Birthstone Cross Pendant in Sterling Silver is an elegant and eye-catching statement of faith. With five glittering red cubic zirconias, this piece is a more than fitting way to call to mind the fact Christ loved us first and that He loved us enough to be willing to give His life for us. These crimson stones sparkle warmly as they radiate from the center of this pendant, contrasted by the cool sterling silver upon which they rest.
This .925 sterling silver cross has been given an antiqued finish, a dark wash that sinks into the backdrop and that allows each detail of this piece to stand out—especially the polished designs that rise from this cross' surface. With its time-honored charm, it's a perpetually stylish statement of faith—even if your birthday doesn't fall in the month of July.
Cross measures 37mm (1 Ѕ") x 23mm (7/8") not including bail.

Dean Kuipers takes us behind the scenes of the Animal Liberation Front and its punk-anarchist sibling the Earth Liberation Front, two of the most notorious and violent environmental groups and one of the FBI's biggest domestic terrorist priorities--even in the wake of 9/11. Kuipers tells us the story of ALF and ELF through Rod Coronado, an eco-terrorist and animal rights activist who has served jail time on several convictions in connection with his radical activities. From his teenage association with the Sea Shepherd and Earth First! through the federal manhunt that transformed him into a folk hero, Coronado's story parallels a movement that has led to over 1,200 acts of sabotage, $1 billion in damages, and a legal showdown that will define America's relationship to environmentalism. Neither a biography nor a polemic about animal rights, Operation Bite Back tells the outlaw tale of a man who acted on well-defined principles to carry out a campaign of political sabotage, putting his life on the line for an environmental movement that ultimately couldn't afford to be identified with his extreme actions.
"Kuipers has given us a deftly reported glimpse into America's blue collar stoner subculture." –
Barbara Ehrenreich
"An excellent look at the marijuana subculture, deluded or not, aspiring to the Middle-American mainstream." –

COLUMBUS A Belmont County state representative and a former state representative from Jefferson County will vie in the Democratic primary for the 30th Senate District.
State Rep. Charlie Wilson of St. Clairsville, and former state Rep. Jerry W. Krupinski of Steubenville will meet in the March Democratic primary after they both filed nominating petitions by Friday's deadline for the Senate seat now held by state Sen. Gregory L. DiDonato, a Dennison Democrat.
Wilson, 60, who has served four terms in the Ohio House, says he has the drive to serve the citizens of the district that spans part of Tuscarawas County and Belmont, Harrison, Jefferson and Columbiana counties.
"I announced in August and filed (nominating petitions) in September and I have been working hard raising money since then," Wilson said Friday. "I have a structure in place. I'm not so naive that I can win just because I'm a Democrat."
"I believe I will work for the betterment of all people in this district," Wilson said.
Krupinski, 62, served seven two-year terms in the Ohio House before term limits claimed him in 2000.
Krupinski said he'll run a strong campaign and will focus on electric deregulation that was approved in the late 1990s.
Krupinski said he voted against electric deregulation and said that it is costing Ohio school districts millions of dollars in foregone tax revenue.
"That's my core issue," Krupinski said. "I'm going to work hard for this."
DiDonato, the Senate's minority leader, said the caucus is not taking sides in the primary campaign.
"I told 'em both that the position of the caucus is that we don't get involved in the primary," said DiDonato, who will be term limited out of the Senate next year. "I kind of wish these kinds of things can be worked out."
"My friendly advice to them both was to keep it clean," said DiDonato, who is in his second and final four-year term.
The winner of the March Democratic primary will advance to the November general election.
As of mid afternoon Friday, at least one Republican had filed nominating petitions in the 30th Senate District Columbiana attorney Lawrence Stacey II. He couldn't immediately be reached late Friday.
Right now, Republicans hold a commanding 22 to 11 advantage in the Ohio Senate.

Nutrient Reduction Decision Support Toolbox is intended for use by state and local agencies
and other organizations interested in reducing nutrients (nitrogen and
phosphorus) and other pollutants to our waterbodies. The toolbox
originated from the Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) Nutrient Reduction Priority
Issue Team (PIT) and its initiatives to reduce the size of the hypoxic
zone in the Gulf of Mexico as well as occurrences of hypoxic events across
The toolbox is based on a comprehensive and holistic framework for nutrient reduction developed through the collaborative interaction of local, state, and federal agencies; non-governmental organizations; agricultural producers; private businesses; and academic institutions.
Each of the drawers in the toolbox represents one of the 10 key decision elements that are essential to reducing nutrients and their impacts within our waters.
To get started, use the menu to the left, or jump to the navigable toolbox graphic, and select any drawer to see the information available on that topic.
The toolbox is intended to be an electronic repository for links to information related to each of the decision elements needed for a comprehensive approach to reducing nutrients for aquatic ecosystems.
Toolbox users will use this information to make decisions, either implicitly or explicitly, on each of these elements. The toolbox is intended to provide valuable information to assist in making these decisions.

Kuwait: Real estate market to slow down
The manager of finance and marketing at Al-Jal Real Estate Services Company,
Hamed al-Suheil, expects that the activity in the local real estate sector will continue, but not in the same high levels it saw during 2003 and 2004, according to the Kuwaiti News Agency, KUNA. What limit the activity in this sector at present is mainly the liquidity difficulties, which Suheil considers as the most important factor behind commercial activity.
Private contractors of housing projects put works on hold, according to Suheil, due to lack of liquidity, and a gradual increase in the supply of properties, which affect negatively on the prices.
This sector is also connected to the governmental loans, which do not sufficient at present for buying a house or a land plot, since they became much expensive compared to past years.
As for the commercial real estate sector, it continues to be active during the current year thanks to the high demand from private companies for offices, especially for modern ones equipped with technological infrastructure and parking lots.

Celebrity Eclipse - Nov. 27 - Dec. 4, 2010: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by Host Anne
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity Eclipse - Nov. 27 - Dec. 4, 2010
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Miami
Nov. 27 - Dec. 4, 2010
Cabin 8230, Category 1A
For us, this cruise was all about the ship. We booked to get away and relax for a week. Having previously sailed Solstice and Equinox, we knew we'd have no problem feeling right at home on Eclipse. In every sense of the word, this cruise and ship were fantastic.
We drove to Miami early on embarkation day, arriving at 11:30 AM. We dropped the luggage with a porter and parked directly across the street from the terminal in the parking garage. A short walk to the terminal, and we proceeded through security before entering the check-in area. Your passport is checked here and your carry-on's go through a regular scanning procedure. We then immediately walked up to an Elite passenger counter for check-in. In less than five minutes, we had our keys and proceeded to the line to board the ship. It was about a 15 minute wait in line for the photo processing of your sea pass More card. By noon, we were seated on the outdoor aft deck of the Oceanview Cafe on deck 14 and enjoying lunch.
By 1:00 PM they announced that we could proceed to our cabins. Our 1A cabin was standard size, bed near the closet and bathroom. While I'm still not wild about the closet configuration on these ships (one of the few things that could have had a better design), there is plenty of storage space for clothing, shoes, etc.
The great thing about this cabin is that it is on the "bump out" and therefore has a much larger balcony than other rooms in this category. It also has the largest balcony of all four bump out cabins in this area of the ship. The balcony is angled and is probably about 70 sq ft., a very nice size.
We liked the location of this cabin as well. Just off the main set of stairs/elevators at the atrium. Easy to walk up or down to all activities. Cabins are extremely quiet and we spent quite a bit of time on our balcony reading and enjoying watching the Caribbean go by. I wouldn't hesitate to book this cabin or the one directly above it on deck 9 again.
What can I say? I think the public spaces on this class of ship are the prettiest I've seen on a ship (keep in mind I haven't sailed all lines....just Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, Princess, NCL, HAL and Carnival). These ships are hands down the most comfortable and lovely ships out there.
The layout of Eclipse is essentially the same as her sisters, Solstice and Equinox. Minor changes were found here and there but overall the ships have a similar feel. Changes I've noticed (I'm sure others can add to this short list):
· Qzine replaces Silk Harvest. This funky restaurant is going to serve Eclipse and Celebrity well. More info in the Dining section below.
· Tiered benches at the Hot Glass show instead of flat benches....nice touch!
· Angled grand staircase
· Removal of hanging chairs in Quazar disco
· Marble floor in front of the bar in Michael's Club is gone
· Large ball planter for the tree in the atrium
· Different color schemes in some areas like Sky lounge.
I don't often make statements as strong as this but the food overall on Eclipse was outstanding. Nearly everything we ate was delicious and when you factor in the amount of food being prepared each day for several thousand people, it's remarkable that they can serve food this good.
I can highly recommend the coq au vin, chateaubriand, all the pastas (I'd often order an appetizer size before my entrEe), and all the soups in the main dining room (Moonlight Sonata). Tablemates loved the frog legs and ordered them on several nights even though they weren't always on the menu.
The brunch in the main dining room took place on day 2 (a sea day). I was pleasantly surprised to see them making eggs Benedict to order instead of placing them pre-made in a warming tray. What a difference. This allowed me to create my own version by getting a slice of prime rib to place on the English muffin before the poached egg. It was yummy!
The Oceanview Cafe, the buffet restaurant on Eclipse, has a wide variety of very good choices for breakfast and lunch with limited choices in the evening. Waffles hot off the griddle remain a favorite of mine. Several of the stir fry and Mexican options were also very good.
The only item I didn't care for all week was the burger at the pool grille. I find them typically WAY overcooked, often to the point of being burnt. Took one bite and couldn't eat any more. But there were plenty of choices for great food so one not so good item out of many isn't bad.
We decided to give Bistro on Five a try finally after having sailed several times previously on S-class ships. I have to admit it was very, very good. I had the sweet and sour crepe first followed by the dulce de leche (caramel) crepe for dessert. It was delicious and we were glad we tried it.
The highlight of our culinary experiences on Eclipse, however, was Qzine, the new specialty restaurant that has replaced Silk Harvest on this ship. Where to start? I had read a great deal about the restaurant before boarding so I was somewhat prepared for the quirkiness that was about to present itself. I'd call it a tapas-type of restaurant featuring tastes from around the world. 21 Cruise Critic members dined together at two tables here (no small feat to arrange....more on that later). As you enter the restaurant you'll notice that nothing is ordinary. You are greeted by different chairs (some tall, some short), eclectic tables & light fixtures and waiters who are as fun as the serving pieces and food itself.
After you are seated, each guest is presented an iPad. I'd say we spent the first 30 minutes playing with the iPad, checking out all the options from the drink menu to all the food items. After selecting drinks (even this is fun), our table decided to let our waiter make various selections off the menu for us. He told us if there was something he didn't bring that we wanted just to let him know and he'd get it for us. This was the perfect way to experiment with this vast menu. Among the items we enjoyed were sushi lollipops, a bang-bang type shrimp dish, BBQ pork and vegetable spring rolls, a funky fabulous tasting crab ball (I can't even begin to describe it), lobster escargot, popcorn fish, Kobe beef sliders, painted filet mignon and a series of desserts including decorate-your-own cupcakes.
Adding to the fun were the ultra-create serving pieces. For example, the four "spring" rolls were each served inside of "spring" mounted to a pretty piece of marble. The bang-bang-type shrimp dish was served in a stemless martini glass situated in a blue-lite ice-filled globe. The popcorn beer-battered fish was served in popcorn containers. With each new dish brought expressions of awe and laughter. My husband's mojito came "unassembled" with the alcohol in separate vials, fresh mint with a mortar and pestle so he could create his own drink. Finally, the dessert menu is served in a Rubik's cube.
Beyond the fun and creative, the food was unbelievably good. The Kobe beef sliders and painted filet mignon may have been the best food I had on the ship all week (makes up for the less than par burgers at the pool).
Celebrity has gone way outside the box with Qzine. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the evening and thought it was worth the extra $30 fee for such a great time and great food. I think they've hit a home run with this concept. Be prepared to make an evening of it. We were at Qzine for close to four hours. It didn't feel like it as the evening passed way too quickly. But plan to visit here on a night you don't want to do much else on board.
One final comment on Qzine. This is definitely a place you want to go with a group of people. There are so many different things to try that your overall experience is going to be better if you dine with a larger group and share. That also adds to the fun. This isn't the place for a quiet, romantic evening - head to Murano for that. There is plenty of room for the restaurant to accommodate groups of 8, 10 and 12. But the challenge comes when you attempt to pre-book the restaurant for a group. On-line reservations won't allow you to book for more than 6 people and the Captain's Club wasn't willing to make the reservation even though they said they were when I called and provided all of our information to them. I realize Celebrity probably doesn't want to fill the restaurant with lots of groups that may not show or cancel but they need to come up with a way to accommodate groups through a pre-booking process. The essence of this restaurant is doing it with a group of people.
Kudos to Celebrity for trying something uniquely different in the dining arena. Qzine will serve them well, especially if they come up with a way to accommodate larger party reservations. OH....and they really, really need to begin selling some of the serving items from all their specialty restaurants. Place the restaurant logo on some items, open a little Specialty Restaurant gift shop and they would be selling tons of this stuff. What a great memory to use some of these wonderful pieces at home after the cruise.
This was really a get-away and relax cruise for us. We didn't do any shore excursions and only disembarked the ship to get a good walk in each day we were in port. Others we sailed with enjoyed various excursions in each port of call. We'll definitely plan something in Roatan the next time we are there. We were just happy to enjoy our balcony with a book or a quiet pool during port days.
There is no shortage of onboard activities and entertainment on Eclipse. You can do as much or as little as you'd like. We participated in many of the trivia contests (enjoyed having it at the Oceanview bar in the afternoon), some of the cooking demonstrations (the Battle of the Eclipse Chefs was hysterical), got in a daily mile walk (wish the promenade went all the way around and that the lifeboats didn't completely block the ocean view here) & late night comedy. There were wine tastings, lectures, the regular evening entertainment in the theater and lounges (most people enjoyed the theater entertainment). Our evenings were mostly spent in Michael's Club or the Martini bar for before dinner drinks with Michael's Club later in the evening to enjoy the piano music and drinks with friends. Lots of people could be found dancing before dinner to live music in the atrium.
We didn't try the spa on this cruise and made virtually no purchases (I would have purchased some of the serving pieces from Qzine but they aren't selling them yet!).
Bottom line is that you really couldn't be bored on Eclipse unless you intentionally wanted to be.
Maybe we just sail Celebrity too much, but in our opinion, no other cruise line staff beats the crew on Celebrity ships. We do sail other lines and by no means am I saying that crew on other lines aren't good, the greater majority are wonderful, too, but there is just something about Celebrity's crew that makes sailing with them special. Sure, not everything is perfect all the time, but for the most part, their crew is friendly, caring, ready to serve whatever need you may have. I find a friendly smile usually goes a long way in getting a problem resolved.
The crew on this sailing was as good as it gets in the mass market of cruising. Captain Panagiotis Skylogiannis served as master of the vessel. We've had the pleasure of sailing with him on previous Celebrity cruises. He is seen around the ship often and always offers a friendly hello. Hotel Director Damien O'Connor was equally visible and friendly. Several staff even commented that he was a great hotel director to work for. Officers were ever present throughout the ship and were always happy to chat with passengers. John Grantham was the Cruise Director and he and his staff made sure there were plenty of things for passengers to do throughout the cruise. When the leadership at the top treats their staff well, which was apparent on Eclipse, it definitely trickles down to how crew treats passengers. I've always believed that great service starts at the top. Congrats to the entire crew on Eclipse for making this one of our best cruises ever.
On the opposite side of the coin, the passengers we met on this cruise, from those on Cruise Critic to our tablemates were fantastic. For some reason (maybe it was the time of year???), everyone on this cruise just "clicked." Many shared shore excursions, or drinks together in the evening, or teams at trivia. This was the first cruise that we had both a Sailaway party when we left Miami and an "unsailaway" party on the last afternoon as we made our way back to Miami.
Overall, this sailing ranked up there as one of our all-time best. A big thanks to everyone (passengers and crew) who made it that way. We look forward to seeing everyone on another cruise soon.

The United Nations are urging the Barnett government not to introduce a tough new anti-protest law cracking down on "radical protesters" because it could breach international human rights laws.
The WA government introduced a bill into parliament in March, which will be debated in the Upper House on Tuesday, that could see protesters jailed for up to 12 months or face a $12,000 fine if they used devices like thumb locks or arm locks to attach themselves to objects.
In some cases protesters could face 24 months behind bars and be slugged with a $24,000 fine if they became aggressive and endangered the safety of others, including themselves.
According to UN law experts David Kaye, Maina Kiai and Michel Forst, the introduction of this law would go against "Australia's international obligations under international human rights law, which includes the rights to freedom of opinion and expression as well as peaceful assembly and association".
"The bill would criminalise a wide range of legitimate conduct by creating criminal offences for physically preventing a lawful activity and possessing an object for the purpose of preventing a lawful activity," a statement from the experts warned.
"For example, peaceful civil disobedience and any non-violent direct action could be characterised as 'physically preventing a lawful activity'.
"The proposed legislation will have the chilling effect of silencing dissenters and punishing expression protected by international human rights law. Instead of having a necessary legitimate aim, the bill's offense provisions disproportionately criminalise legitimate protest actions," Mr Kaye said.
Mr Kiai said the bill would give police unnecessary powers to restrict protesters trying to raise awareness of key environmental issues.
"It discourages legitimate protest activity and instead, prioritises business and government resource interests over the democratic rights of individuals," he said.
"Human rights defenders have a legitimate right to promote and protect all human rights, including the right to a healthy environment, regardless of whether their peaceful activities are seen by some as frustrating development projects or are costlier for the police to address," Mr Forst added.
Greens MLC Lynn MacLaren said the Barnett government should be "embarrassed" by the UN's condemnation of the anti-protest laws.
"If this government wants to hold its head high in the international community including trading partners, it should consider the potential effect on its reputation of bringing in legislation that three United Nations special rapporteurs on international human rights laws have warned unambiguously is anti-democratic and counter to international human rights law," she said.
"WA is once again in the international spotlight for all the wrong reasons, thanks to this government's anti-democratic, anti-environment agenda."
Premier Colin Barnett said any suggestions the new law was aimed at protesters was "just false".
"What we are proposing is to have some measure that will prevent people from putting themselves in danger or others in danger in terms of having to rescue them," he said.
"I will always allow protests to take place, but they need to be peaceful and they do not need to be of a nature that endangers individuals."
When the bill was first mooted, police minister Liza Harvey said the law was aimed at preventing the "increasingly dangerous behaviour of some protesters".
"The legislation creates a new offence of physical prevention of a lawful activity, providing police with the ability to charge a person who creates a physical barrier with the intent to prevent a lawful activity from being conducted," she said.
"This offence will relieve the frustration and delay for workers and management at development sites and ensure people who partake in dangerous conduct will face consequences for their actions."
