Adrian Norvid: Wrongo
Cheesy slogans, corporate advertising, inappropriate language and "Handelian excess" might describe some of the antics to take place at art-world society events and fundraising parties this spring. But they are also some of the hallmarks of artist Adrian Norvid's most recent collection of drawings, sculptures and paper constructions gathered together for "Wrongo," a solo show currently on at Montreal's Galerie Joyce Yahouda. Framed as the remnants of a fictive "Wrongo Ball and Slap Up Supper," Norvid's large-scale drawings of old-fashioned music impresarios and ads for consumer products, as well as his sculptures of oversized milk cartons, read as 21st century exquisite corpse exercises that recombine plays on words and suggestive rhymes to point to the unnerving ubiquity of advertising imagery and slogans. Known for his tongue-in-cheek sense of humour and painstaking attention to detail, Norvid's newest installation harks back to the artist's creation for the 2008 Quebec Triennial, which featured a life-sized black-and-white recreation of an upright piano constructed entirely out of paper and decorated with intricate pen-and-ink drawings replicating its wood-grain patterns. Much like his triennial installation, "Wrongo" takes a resolutely DIY approach and transports us into Norvid's wacky parallel universe, where the best party is often the one you create for yourself.

Baguette Surprise to Fullfill a Promise
What is this? Loaves made with commercial yeast, no pre-ferment, and all commercially ground flour? I'm flashing back.
Can...not...find...love beads.
But I promised I would try this as part of the baguette surprise and challenge. It was like riding a bike. How fast those commercial yeasts do their little thing! (6 hours from scaling to bread and 2 of that was my slow mixing!) How easy!
I made my standard baguette formula (65% hydration) adapted to commercial yeast. I feel that my % of yeast - which was .5% - was a bit high, but looking at dmsynder's formula it seemed ok.
I did not use any whole wheat flour because I wanted to go "single factor" on this try - my sourdough baguettes vs. commercial yeast.
I've written up the technique and formula before and I followed it as only I can (like a maniac) - although I did have to adjust the timings for the bulk ferments (1 hour, fold, 1 hour) and proofing (40 minutes). Shaping went "as usual" - I did not try to be especially light in my shaping although I have been told that I have a "light but firm" hand "naturally" (yeah, after years of practice...). I got a little distracted during the scoring, but steamed and baked as usual.
Oh my goodness! The oven spring! I remember when bread sprang quite like that! This commercial yeast is the bee's knees! No wonder so many people use it! Wow!
Here' a picture of the cooling loaves where my haste in scoring is clearly evident. But even so, the slashes opened well and have some nice grigne. Alas, it seems that no yeast wild or commercial will improve my photography skills, though.
I did NOT leave them in the turned off oven for 5 minutes, as again, I wanted to go all single factor on this. When the loaves came out of the oven the crust was crackly and fragile. I kept poking my fingers through it as I squeezed the loaves to test doneness and it came off in flakes. As the loaves cooled, however, they lost the crackly quality somewhat. I really think the slower cooling has some virtues and some role to play in that "crackly crust." (I also now think that excess steam is the culprit on cuts not opening...)
Here are a couple of crumb shots. The crumb is not as open as my normal baguette, but it is not horrific. The slashing flaws have a role to play there.
The bread had a "fluffy" feeling when I bit into it. Very soft and springy as compared to my normal levain baguette.
And the taste? Well, bland. Nice, sweet, wheaty, no hint of yeast, but bland. This would make a lovely "carrier bread" as far as I am concerned - some really good butter and jam would go nicely and is almost required. I'd gladly toast it up for a breakfast tartine. Remember that I haven't eaten any breads not produced with wild yeast in at least three years now, so my perspective is somewhat skewed. But so easy! This commercial yeast is the best things since - well, since sliced bread!
(Seriously, you can see why bakers, pressed to get bread on the shelves for morning customers, embraced this marvelous yeast when it first appeared. Taste? Close enough. People will eat it if that's all we sell and if we sell it warm, who will know? For my personal baking I would never forgo the preferment - even using commercial yeast - because it is just so easy to do and can be done during non working hours. But for speed from mixing to baked loaf after long centuries of baking with wild yeast, this must have been viewed with tremendous enthusiasm.)
At some point I will try the 10% whole wheat. I mean, why not? The whole process is so fast...
David, I hope my experiences are helpful to you in some small way.
Happy Baking!

MANAMA: ICICI Bank, India's second largest bank, has achieved major milestones in Bahrain since it launched its operations in the country in October 2004, it has been revealed.
ICICI's Bahrain offshore banking unit (OBU) has built up a significant asset base in a short span of 18 months, said country head Ajay Sharma.
It has also raised deposits from banks and corporates within the GCC region, he told the GDN. The bank has attained a significant market share of the NRI retail business in Bahrain, said Mr Sharma.
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company has also opened its subsidiary in Bahrain this year.
ICICI Bank also launched various value added services for its customers in Bahrain such as online remittances and the Visa debit card, Mr Sharma revealed.
It is now present in 13 countries and operates through wholly owned subsidiaries, branches and representative offices.
The bank continued to build on its existing presence in various geographies as well as enter new markets, Mr Sharma revealed. In addition to providing credit and trade finance solutions to Indian companies, ICICI was expanding its international retail franchise through technology-based banking services, he added.
The total asset size of the bank during the last financial year (ending March 31) has increased to about $56 billion, an increase of 50pc compared to the last financial year.
The profit after tax also increased by 27pc to about $569 million as compared to $449m last year. The year also saw a mega public equity issue of about $1.75bn.
The Bank has received several awards such as Bank of Year - 2005 by The Banker and Best Bank in India by Euromoney.
ICICI was listed amongst the top 50 companies in Asia by Forbes, said Mr Sharma. Business Today has adjudged ICICI Bank as the Fastest Growing Bank in India.
ICICI Bank, said Mr Sharma , was one of the top three banks in the Best Private Bank in Asia Pacific Region category at the 15th Private Banker International Wealth Conference in Singapore, 2005.

Hong Kong has doubled the sales tax on properties costing more than $HK2 million ($250,000) and targeted commercial real estate for the first time as the risk of a bubble spreads from apartments to parking spaces, shops and hotels.
Stamp duty increased to 8.5 per cent of the purchase price for $HK2 million-plus properties on Saturday. For those sold for less than $HK2 million, the duty is up to 1.5 per cent of the price.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority also tightened mortgage terms for commercial properties and parking spaces.
The government widened its property curbs to cover commercial transactions after hundreds of people turned up to buy hotel rooms being sold by Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong (Holdings) last week, prompting a warning from the government.
Financial Secretary John Tsang said the bubble risks in the property market had increased.
"If we allow the risk to continue to expand, ultimately it will affect the macro-economic and financial system's stability. The destructive power on society will be considerably large," he said.
Home prices have doubled in four years on low mortgage rates, an influx of mainland buyers and lack of new supply. The price of non-residential property has also soared.
The value of retail shop transactions rose 78 per cent from a year earlier to $HK85 billion in 2012, as curbs on home prices prompted investors to seek other properties, according to Centaline Property Agency, Hong King's biggest closely held realtor.
"This again shows the government's determination to curb prices," said Thomas Lam, head of research for Greater China at Knight Frank. "It will affect the luxury residential sector and also investors in buildings and commercial properties. This will add a lot to their purchasing cost."
Concerns that housing is becoming unaffordable have forced Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to introduce a raft of measures since taking over in July.
In October, the government imposed an extra 15 per cent tax on all home purchases by companies and non-permanent residents, adding to earlier steps including accelerating new home sale approvals and tightening mortgage lending.
Mr Leung said in September he would restrict home buyers of two building sites the government plans to sell to local residents.

Relay fundraising run, tamale dinner set Saturday
By FAITH HUFFMAN | News-Telegram News Editor
April 24, 2008 - With Hopkins County's premier fundraiser for the American Cancer Society just two weeks away, teams and event coordinators have really kicking their efforts into high gear.
Relay for Life committees and team captains and been busy all year planning the event. Now teams are holding individual fundraisers and events to help meet this year's relay goal of $152,100.
Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society for cancer research and for treatment programs to assist local cancer patients.
"Our goals for this year are high, but with the help of the local community, I know we can reach them," Relay Co-Chair Tony Aguilar said earlier this year. "Our team goal is 15 youth teams and 35 adult teams. Our goals also include 1,000 luminaries sold, 300 survivors [participating]
"Those are big numbers, but the Hopkins County Relay always produces big numbers," he explained. "The 2007 relay ranked eighth in the nation for a community our size. We hope to grow on that dedication and make it to number one."
The theme for this year's RFL is "Cancer -- It's a Family Affair: Celebrate, Fight Back, Remember."
One fundraising event, beginning just after dawn this Saturday at Coleman Park, not only incorporates the idea of a relay but also the theme. The "Out Run Cancer Mile/5K/10K Run" gets underway with late registration at 7:30 a.m., followed by warm-up at 7:45 a.m. The 1-mile run kicks off at 8 a.m., the 5K run at 8:15 a.m. and the 10K at 8:30 a.m.
Awards will be presented to the top three finishes in the 5K and 10K runs for grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8,9-10, and 11-12, and ages 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60 and up.
The first place team in the 5K and 10K will receive a trophy. Ribbons will be awarded to the top mile finishers.
Anyone interested in participating or showing support for others needs only show up at 7:30 Saturday morning at Coleman Park.
Participants registering Saturday morning will be asked to contribute $20 per person or $60 for a team of four (5K/10K) entry fee.
But there's more this weekend.
On Saturday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the Aguilar family will be hosting their third annual tamale dinner in First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. The cost will be $8 for adults and $5 for children under 12 years. To-go orders are available, and tamales may be purchased by the by the dozen at the event. No deliveries will be made this year, however.
Hopkins County Relay For Life is also still taking pictures in memory or honor of loved ones and friends who have battled or are battling cancer. Pictures may be dropped off at Pilgrim Bank (formerly Community Bank) at 1404 South Broadway St. Please put the name of the person being remembered or honored on the picture, and include an envelop with the name and address of the person submitting the picture so that it can be returned. For more information, contact Mynder Nash at 903-885-6633.
Hopkins County Relay For Life will kick off at 7 p.m. Friday, May 9, at the Sulphur Springs Middle School track with a survivors lap and continue until 7 a.m. Saturday morning, May 10, with various activities and entertainment slated throughout the 12-hour walk.
For more information about the May 9-10 Relay For Life, call Co-chairs Mynder Kelly at 903-439-6399 or Tony Aguilar at 903-582-2208.

Win, lose or draw when Kinsale King tries to become only the second horse to successfully defend his title in the US$2 million Golden Shaheen, trainer Carl O'Callaghan is keen to be in Hong Kong next December with the six-year-old.
'I had intended to be there last December with him, but he's always had problems with his feet and that flared up again and we had to call it off,' said the popular California-based Irishman, who won his first Group One last year at Meydan and celebrated with an Irish jig in the enclosure.
O'Callaghan, who spent three years living on the street in New York before he started in racing, has held a trainer's licence for just a handful of years, but is an unabashed fan of travelling to the world's great meetings, despite some criticism that he asked too much of Kinsale King last year.
'Well, some people said that but I can't see it. We came here and won, we went to Royal Ascot and he ran third. The only run he had that wasn't really on the plan was at Newmarket when he ran poorly, but after that he had a good break before I got him ready for this race,' O'Callaghan said. 'And I'd rather be here than at home with him. For one thing, his feet are much better here in the dryness and the heat. If he stayed home, it's pouring with rain and the best option would have for him would be a US$50,000 race in a couple of weeks. I'd rather be here running for a couple of million.'
Caller One (2001, 2002) is the only two-time winner of the sprint, and O'Callaghan says Kinsale King is going just as well now as when he beat Rocket Man 12 months ago, though it isn't the sizeable Asian contingent in the race that bothers him. 'I'm just a bit intimidated by Euroears - I can't believe I've come halfway around the world for a race and have to run into Bob Baffert,' he said. 'I can do that at home.'

Projected lineup
1. Austin Jackson
2. Johnny Damon
3. Magglio Ordonez
4. Miguel Cabrera
5. Carlos Guillen
6. Scott Sizemore
7. Brandon Inge
8. Gerald Laird
9. Adam Everett
Well, here's my projected starting lineup for the Tigers this year. Obviously this will fluctuate quite a bit this season with players shuffling in and out of the outfield lineup. Some lineups will have Sizemore hitting farther up in the order, but I doubt that Leyland will hit the two rookies too close together and he already likes Jackson as a 1 or 2 hitter. You could also make an argument for Damon as leadoff, but I think he's better suited at 2, or farther down near 5 or 6 if he struggles a bit. The rest of the order should be pretty obvious at this point unless Magglio struggles again like last year and you could see him dropped in the order or splitting more time with either Ryan Raburn or Clete Thomas
Speaking of other players, here are the other non-pitchers who should see significant playing time this year. Ramon Santiago will fill in at various roles in the infield. He will most likely spell Everett at SS most often, and take some time at 2B when Sizemore needs a break. He also has a chance at significant time at 2B if Sizemore has a disastrous start. In addition to this possibility, if Inge's knees act up after offseason surgery, Santiago could fill in there. The fact that he is a switch hitter also helps his playing chances in a righty dominated lineup.
Don Kelly also has a chance to make the roster as a reserve. The attraction in him is due to his versatility in the field. He can play any base, or either of the corner outfield positions. Also, like Santiago, he gives the Tigers a left-handed bat to insert into the lineup or pinch hit if the situation calls for it. He hasn't shown much promise in the major leagues with his bat yet. He also hasn't been particularly stellar in the minors with the bat either though, so his value lies in his defensive versatility.
With that being said, here's my prediction of hitter stats for the lineup (Avg/Runs/HRs/RBI/SB). Admittedly they are probably more liberal than most experts.
1. Austin Jackson .272/65/5/42/18
2. Johnny Damon .280/85/14/75/15
3. Magglio Ordonez .302/78/16/87/3
4. Miguel Cabrera .315/98/35/108/2
5. Carlos Guillen .270/65/15/70/4
6. Scott Sizemore .275/70/15/75/13
7. Brandon Inge .240/62/23/75/3
8. Gerald Laird .250/40/5/45/1
9. Adam Everett .245/52/4/55/7
And because I think they'll get significant playing time, here are some predictions about a couple reserve players.
R. Ramon Santiago .255/25/6/30/3
R. Ryan Raburn .270/45/12/55/8
R. Alex Avila .275/30/8/35/2
I'll work on some predictions for pitchers over the next week or two.

I am so excited to have a family photographer now. We decided to get some pictures taken for our Christmas card this year and called ARP studio to have a small session with our dogs. I also knew I wanted to get a couple of shots for the blog and "about me" section.
ARP is located right outside of Memphis in Olive Branch, Mississippi. She does a FANTASTIC job and could not come more highly recommended.
Here are some shots from our photo shoot:

For the photo shoot I wore the Kate Spade Tie-blouse, J Brand Love Story Jeans in Ink, and my Manolo Mary Janes.

BURY golfer Ciaran Doherty enjoyed double success this week, following up victory in the Wilpshire Trophy by becoming the first winner of the East Lancashire Scratch Challenge Trophy.
The 24-year-old Lancashire player consolidated his lead in the Cleveland Srixon Northern Order of Merit after leading the Wilpshire Trophy from the start, carding a 67 in the first round and 66 in the second to finish on five under par.
He had two shots to spare over county team-mate Joe Brice, from Manchester.
Just a day later, the Sunnybank-based Bury Golf Club member performed well enough in the Antlers Trophy at Pleasington to claim the East Lancashire Scratch Challenge Trophy – awarded to the golfer with the best combined score over the two events.
Doherty, who holds a 190-point lead over Antlers Trophy winner Curtis Clarkin in the merit stakes, said: "I've hit a good run of form as I did around about the same time last year. It's great to win two trophies in successive days."

I basically got it at a 'steal' price or else I wouldn't have gotten it. Plus, she had all the right things I was looking for: NO Rust anywhere on the car; Five speed; the 'standard' silverish color that shows off the classic lines; plain black leather interior; just mainly 'Rock Stock.' The door was wide open for me to take her in any direction without undoing what some other PO had done to her.
Well, it took about a month to get it running. I had to replace all the rubber stuff under the hood, but mainly I had to study up on this car. Bimmerforum.com became my main cyber-source, but I did order some of the essential books. I won't tell you the entire story because that is not the nature of this thread. I'll only say 'Welcome' to E24 land and you won't regret it!
Like many others here I'd shy away from this one; it seems overpriced for having any rust at all. There are many, many more E24s in much better condition out there on CL (mainly) and EBay is also good, but watch out! Here are a couple after a five minute search:
Spend another month just looking for the best one you can afford; look into every nook and cranny on the internet and call and talk to the owners as much as you can. The amount of experience already existent on these forums will be a great help with your ownership experience.
Good luck

Product Description:
We wouldn't have rated this wine ourselves if we hadn't tried it first. Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator both scored this wine 86 points, but we felt that this wine has blossomed and matured into what may be the best aged wine we have ever offered for the money. Wonderful dark berry fruits roll across the palates revealing fully matured nuances of tobacco, leather, and dusty, well integrated tannins. Medium to full bodied with good finish, this effort is fabulous now and will keep for another 4 to 5 years. This is a must have for the money!

We celebrate life and mourn death. We victimize minorities and celebrate wealth.
To be born is a blessing, but to live is priceless. Jesus gave His life, so we could be forgiven our racist biases.
Do you recall the Gentiles and the Jews, and the Blacks and Whites? Yes, there is a grey area, so run for your life!
Life! What is that? How is it defined? Are you better than me because you eat cheese with your wine?
I was a heavy drinker, but not now. I was a smoker, but not now. I even smoked that happy stuff, and I need a hit now.
We are a product of our experiences. Therefore, to when this battle we must remain positive and fearless.

New Jerseyans Urged to Stay Alert on 9/11 Anniversary [AUDIO]
As we mark the twelfth anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks that killed almost 3,000 people, including 749 New Jerseyans, all Garden State residents are being urged to stay vigilant today.
"In the mind of a terrorist, they are looking for the day and the time and the opportunity when we let our guard down, so although it is sometimes challenging to maintain that vigilance, it is critical," said Vincent Bove, a New Jersey security expert.
"There are only so many law enforcement officials and private security representatives, so it's a task for all of us to keep our eyes and ears open, especially on memorials, because memorials are trophy days in the eyes of terrorists," said Bove.
He said many terror groups around the world see the United States as a potential target, and it's critical that law enforcement agencies collaborate with each other on the federal, state and local levels.
Law enforcement must also collaborate with citizens since they are often the first line of defense. "Citizens are often the eyes and ears to what can happen in our communities," said Bove.
If anything looks or seems even remotely suspicious, New Jerseyans should immediately alert authorities. "Always choose an abundance of caution and report it to authorities, rather than remain silent. The responsibility of protecting the homeland is the responsibility of every American, and everyone who loves America," said Bove.

Ski, Wine and Dine in Mt. Hood and the Gorge
An Oregon Wintercation in the Mt. Hood/Gorge Region
There's a big mountain calling your name, and it's covered in snow. Whether you're on skis, snowboard, snow tube or snowmobile, Mt. Hood's ski areas will give you the snow fun you're seeking. And when you're ready to warm up, take a stroll through history in The Dalles, wine and dine in Hood River County and soothe your senses in the West Columbia Gorge. Here are four ideas to start your planning your wintercation in the Mt. Hood/Columbia River Gorge region of Oregon.
Explore History and Go Wine Tasting in The Dalles
Wrap up your winter weekend with a walk through the Historic Downtown Area of The Dalles, where you'll browse antique stores, yarn and quilt shops, and Oregon's oldest book store. Explore The Dalles Art Center, ANZAC Tea Parlour, Nichols Art Glass and wine tasting at Sunshine Mill before ending with dinner at The Baldwin Saloon. Enjoy a cozy night at the Historic Balch Hotel. Then indulge in Sunday morning breakfast at Petite Provence, sealed with a visit to the Discovery Center and the Sherman County Historical Museum.
Wine and Dine in Hood River County
Head to Hood River for delicious food and drink. Some of the finest chefs in the Pacific Northwest live and work here, using local ingredients to create everything from simple home-style meals to gourmet offerings. Add to that over 30 wineries that grow more than 140 varietals and seven local craft brewers, and you have everything you need to enjoy this rich agricultural and culinary paradise.
Treat Your Senses to the West Columbia Gorge
Sprinkled throughout rainforest, bathed by sweet conifers and moss musk and displaying every shade of verdant green, West Columbia Gorge offers galleries, museums, specialty shops and eateries to warm and feed your senses. The Northwest's finest artists join nature's sweeping hand to soothe your mind. Bring all your senses and your appetite.
Head to the Big Mountain
Whether you're on skis, a snowboard, snowshoes, an inner tube ready for Cosmic Tubing, or zoom-zooming on a snowmobile, there's no better place to experience the winter's wonder. Mt. Hood Adventure's experienced and friendly guides are eager to get you in gear and out on the trails with trips to suit every type of snow play and skill level. Mt. Hood's ski areas offer something for everyone. Enjoy North America's longest ski season at Timberline Lodge & Ski Area. Keep the adrenaline pumping at Mt. Hood Skibowl, the largest night ski area in the nation. And spread out at Mt. Hood Meadows, offering the largest ski area and most diverse terrain on the mountain. The whole family will love Cooper Spur's 50 acres of beginner and intermediate terrain and Summit Ski Area, the Pacific Northwest's oldest designated ski zone.

Get your Geek on with Shapeways.
Designed as a custom graduation ring for a client in the game design field by Action N
A tiny working model of a retro computing icon offers a blend of nostalgia and sillyness by Rossum.
My first computer was an Atari 400. My first disk drive was the magnificent Atari 810. Overwhelmed by a recent wave of nostalgia from playing Zork for the first time in 30 years I have built a working model of an Atari 810 that uses 8Gig microSD cards instead of 5 1/4 inch floppies to emulate up to 8 drives. Maintaining the relative dimensions of drive to media, the model is somewhat smaller than the original.
3D printed by Shapeways then hand painted, this is by far the cutest external drive, ever.
What other retro devices could be 3D printed in miniature to act as housings for electronic devices with thousands of time the storage and processing capability of the original in some kind of size reduction = capacity multiplication equation?

The Russians had first reached the center of Antarctica – the Pole of Inaccessibility – in 1958 during the Geophysical Year. They built a hut to house their research activities during their stay, and mounted a life-size bust of Lenin atop the hut as a memorial. They used mechanized snow crawlers to get there, but even with that help, it turned out to be a Herculean task.
UK explorers Henry Cookson, 31, from West Kensington in London, Rory Sweet, 39, from South Cerney, and Rupert Longsdon 34, from Coates, both in Gloucestershire, accompanied by Canadian guide Paul Landry used only skis and kites to travel 1,093 miles to the Pole of Inaccessibility. The team used kites to pull themselves on skis across the polar ice, towing their equipment and food laden banana sleds behind them. Consequently, when there was no wind, they stayed in one place.
"We had three or four days without a breath of wind," Cookson said. "Our bodies seemed to relax. When we started again, the pain was mind-numbing."
"We saw this black dot on the horizon. It got larger, then we saw this silhouette of the statue," Cookson explained. "It was so surreal after traveling across 1,750km of flat Antarctic plateau."
The UK Team, which calls itself N2i, completed this challenge to raise money for The Calvert Trust, that provides adventure opportunities for disabled people. They expect to return to the UK on 7 February
While waiting for pickup by air, the team will dig below the Lenin statue to the hut below. Cookson explained that, "In the base there is said to be a golden book, which we will sign if we can get to it."
Looking to the future, Longsdon intends to spend some time with his new bride, Sweet is hoping to break the hot air balloon altitude record, and Cookson just wants to get home safely and in one piece. "Then I'll see what else is tempting," he said. "There are some fantastic possibilities."

HIV-positive health practitioners, including surgeons and dentists, may soon be able to work without any limits on their practice - a change that would bring Australia in line with British regulations.
At the moment, the Communicable Diseases Network of Australia guidelines for healthcare workers with HIV say they cannot perform ''exposure-prone procedures'' where there is a risk that they will injure themselves and expose a patient's open tissue to their blood.
But new draft guidelines for the management of health professionals with blood-borne viruses written by the 14 national boards governing healthcare workers in Australia say the CDNA is examining whether it should follow Britain, which recently said it would take a less risk-averse stance on practitioners with HIV who are on stable treatment and who have no recordable viral load.
''The CDNA is examining whether it is necessary to change the current CDNA guideline which does not allow a practitioner with HIV to perform exposure prone procedures, regardless of treatment or viral load,'' the boards' guidelines say.
''Under the national boards' proposed guidelines, any changes made to the CDNA guidelines would take immediate effect through the boards' guidelines.''
The draft document, being released on Thursday for public consultation, aims to provide one set of explicit instructions for health professionals regarding blood-borne viruses, including HIV and hepatitis B and C.
The guidelines say all healthcare workers with a blood-borne virus should remain under regular medical care and not perform exposure-prone procedures if they have any of the viruses that are transmitted by blood or body fluids that contain blood.
However, they do say that people who are successfully treated for, or spontaneously clear, hepatitis C or B can return to performing exposure-prone procedures.
The guidelines do not insist on ''intrusive'' mandatory testing of all healthcare workers who perform exposure-prone procedures, but say these people should know their status through annual tests. Those most likely to be conducting these procedures are surgeons, dentists and obstetricians.
The guidelines do not include mandatory reporting of a blood-borne virus to a health professional's registration board but say that if an infected practitioner is not complying with the CDNA guidelines, the relevant board governing their profession should be notified. It can then take action under national laws to protect patients from harm. This could lead to the practitioner being suspended from practice or deregistered, for example.
While the guidelines are designed to protect the public, they say health practitioners and students with a blood-borne virus have the same right to privacy as other individuals with an infectious disease or other illness.
Chair of the Medical Board of Australia Joanna Flynn said: ''We recognise that there may be a lot of debate about this issue and we are keen to hear what the community, practitioners, health experts and others have to say.''
The instructions come after the Victorian Health Department asked nearly 400 patients of an HIV-positive dentist to be tested for the virus as a precautionary measure. A department spokesman said none of the patients had tested positive for HIV.

As the Crown Green bowling season nears its end, the week brought promotion for two of Alcester's teams.
In Yardley Wood Division 2, Alcester's A team entertained Henley A, producing a splendid performance to win by 70 shots. Alcester leading winners were the superb Ken Craddock, whose opponent had to retire with the score at 12-1, giving Ken a 21-1 score line, John Alderson with an excellent 21-5, John Slater and Dave Hovell both big winners at 21-9 and 21-10 respectively. Also in the points for Alcester were Ken Harvey (21-13) and captain Renny Bannister (21-14). This gave Alcester an 8-2 points win, enough to secure promotion to Division 1 for 2015 in this their last match of the season.
The Alcester B team in Division 4 travelled to Henley, where they went down by 24 shots. Alcester had 3 winning cards, from David Hodgson (21-12), Jean Sherrington (21-15) and Val McDermott (21-18), to gain 3 league points against the home side's 7.
Thursday evening action in the Heart of England League saw Alcester A host a Division 2 match against White Hart A. It was a hard fought game in which most winners were by just a few shots, but with Alcester gaining the upper hand by virtue of 7 winning cards. These were from Renny Bannister (21-11), Ken Harvey (21-15), John Slater (21-16), Peter Barber (21-17) John Alderson (21-19) and Dave Hovell and Jean Bannister (both 21-20), to give Alcester a 24 shot victory, but with 17 league points as opposed to White Hart's 1.
In Division 5 Alcester B travelled to Solihull Marsh Lane to play their A side to complete their season. Although they suffered an overwhelming defeat, failing to gain a single winning card, Alcester came home happy - their narrow 3 shot defeat the previous week had been enough to secure promotion to Division 4 for next season, along with Solihull Marsh Lane.
The Over 60's section of the Heart of England League found Alcester A hosting Kings Norton A in a Division 1 match. Still not safe from relegation, Alcester produced a superb performance to win by 20 shots. Not only that, they also had 5 winning cards out of 6 to gain a 15 points to 1 victory. Winners for Alcester were Renny Bannister and captain John Slater, both excellent at 21-7 and 21-8 respectively. They were backed up by David Whittington (21-15), Carole Slater (21-16) and Jean Bannister (21-19, consigning her opponent to his first defeat of the season).
The B team in Division 6 continued their march to promotion with a good away win at Marston Green B by 13 shots. Winning cards Jean Craddock (21 excellent at 21-9), Val McDermott (equally good with a 21-9 success), Margaret D'Elia (21-17) and John Willis (21-18). This gave Alcester a 14 points to 2 victory, their 12th of the season and the 10th in successive matches. But, there are four matches left to play, so promotion is still not certain.
The week ended with Finals Day at the Alcester club. Having fought his way into both finals in the season long competitions, it was double heartbreak for Ken Craddock. He had to concede runner-up position to Renny Bannister in the Over 60's David Hughes Memorial Cup, and suffered the same fate in the Club Championship, this time to club President, Dave Hovell.

Santorum's exit clears way for Obama vs. Romney
GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Game on.
Rick Santorum electrified the Republican presidential race in January's Iowa caucuses with those words, but Tuesday he declared his race "over" and left the playing field to Mitt Romney.
After a sometimes-bitter primary fight, it will be Romney's task to put the Grand Old Party together again, merging its suburban moderates and social conservatives, repairing a widening gender gap and erasing the image his opponents painted of him as a rich guy out of touch with middle-class America.
INTERACTIVE: Electoral Vote Tracker
PHOTOS: On the GOP campaign trail
Officially, Romney still has to dispatch Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul, who have yet to concede, but he has already turned his focus to President Obama, whose re-election campaign has been running against Romney for a full year.
As a president who began his term with 65% approval ratings but is now mired below 50%, Obama offers a prime target, grappling with a struggling economy and the high price of gas.
"The sad fact of 2012 if you're running for president is the country doesn't like anybody," says Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for President George W. Bush.
Still, Obama appears to begin the general election season with a head start. A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll last month showed the president winning by 9 percentage points among registered voters in 12 key swing states.
By Gene J. Puskar, AP
Rick Santorum announces he is suspending his candidacy during a Tuesday news conference in Gettysburg, Pa.
While Romney has been battling Santorum and others from Hawaii to Puerto Rico, Obama has faced a clear field, holding some 200 fundraisers for himself and others — including three on Tuesday — and sprinkling official events with partisan swipes.
Speaking Tuesday in Florida on his plan to raise taxes on millionaires, Obama ridiculed "folks who were peddling these trickle-down theories, including members of Congress and some people who are running for a certain office right now who shall not be named."
Republicans counter that on policy matters ranging from the economy and jobs to gas prices, his administration has failed.
The primaries have taken a toll on the former Massachusetts governor. A recent CNN poll found Romney viewed favorably by 37% of Americans. Since 1996, eventual nominees of both parties were favored by 53% to 56% of the electorate at this time of the year.
"The more the American people see of Mitt Romney, the less they like him and the less they trust him," Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement.
But now Romney has seven months to refocus the campaign on the economy, rather than the more divisive issues of family and faith that drove Santorum.
Romney told supporters at a campaign event Tuesday night in Wilmington, Del., that it "has been a good day for me."
He said he spoke to Santorum in the morning. "We exchanged our thoughts about going forward, and we both had a great deal of interest in seeing the country taken in a very different path," Romney said. "He has made an important contribution to the political process … and he will continue to have a major role in the Republican Party."
'A time for prayer and thought'
Santorum suspended his campaign with 285 delegates, one-fourth of the 1,144 needed to win the GOP nomination, according to the Associated Press. Romney leads the field with 661; Gingrich, the former House speaker, has 136 and Paul, a Texas congressman, 51.
The former Pennsylvania senator, 53, on Tuesday focused first on Bella, his 3-year-old daughter who was hospitalized on Friday and released Monday night. Bella has a rare genetic disorder called Trisomy 18 and has been hospitalized several times during the campaign.
Her condition caused Santorum and his wife to think about "the role that we have as parents in her life and with the rest of our family, and this was a time for prayer and thought." He said he and his family decided over the weekend to suspend the campaign.
Santorum also faced a cold political reality: Although polls in late February and early March showed him with a huge lead over Romney in Pennsylvania's April 24 primary, recent polling showed the race there close, and Romney was prepared to spend $2 million on TV ads.
Santorum's decision marks the end of an unpredictable ride that began more than a year ago when launched his long-shot bid. Despite primary victories in several states, Santorum has been unable to translate votes from Tea Party members, the most conservative voters, and evangelicals into a coalition that could sustain him.
Long a favorite of social conservatives, Santorum appealed to voters with his view that the federal government under Obama was trampling on the rights of people: whether it was through the national health care law or a proposed rule requiring religious institutions to provide access to insurance coverage for contraceptives.
The Gettysburg speech looked nothing like the "Rally for Rick" it was briefly called on Santorum's Facebook page. Inside a small hotel conference room stood a lectern and two rows of chairs for the media, while a few onlookers crammed into a corner to watch the 13-minute speech.
Santorum said he was "not done fighting" and did not mention Romney, saying only that he would help Republicans defeat Obama, win House seats and take back the Senate.
Santorum supporters praised his campaign's commitment to conservative issues and for making sure they remained part of the political conversation.
"No matter what, he has definitely shown you don't have to be the most well-known or the best-funded" candidate to make an impact, Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz said.
Neither Obama nor Romney enters the next phase of the campaign with particularly glowing poll numbers.
If the election was simply a referendum on Obama, Democrats would have plenty of reason to worry. His approval ratings have been floating in the mid-40% range for several months, and Gallup pegged him at 46% Tuesday.
The gender gap
Obama leads Romney by an average of 5.3 percentage points, according to data compiled by RealClearPolitics from six recent national polls. And significantly, he loses by 18 points among registered women voters in the swing states.
"The biggest Republican problem today is the gender gap," Fleischer says — a problem he blames on Santorum's focus on contraception and conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh's subsequent verbal attack on a Georgetown University student over that issue.
Another problem for Romney: his reputation for changing positions on issues. A key Romney adviser said in March that the campaign's strategy would shift for the general election like an Etch a Sketch, a comment his opponents jumped on.
"Romney has so much ground to make up because of the portrayal of him as someone who has flip-flopped and who has been an opportunist on issues," says David Bonior, the former House Democratic whip who ran John Edwards' presidential campaign in 2008.
"The key is he has not been able to make a direct, emotional connection with the American public," says Republican strategist Ron Bonjean.
Santorum's departure allows the Romney campaign to move advertising dollars and staff out of primary states and into states that will be battlegrounds in the fall, such as Florida. The Romney campaign released an Internet video Tuesday blaming Obama for the Sunshine State's high unemployment rate.
"For Mitt Romney, this race has always been about defeating President Obama, and getting Americans back to work," said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul. "Mitt Romney will continue his campaign to make Barack Obama a one-term president and restore the promise of America that will turn the economy around and put Americans back to work."
One of Romney's immediate tasks, based on recent polling, is to try to capture some of Santorum's support among women. "One of the things that Rick Santorum had going for him that women really liked was his authenticity," says Penny Nance, president of Concerned Women for America, a conservative group. "He had such a great story with his family; we felt like we knew him."
Focus on fundraising
In the end, though, Santorum was outgunned. Romney raised $75.6 million through the end of February, and Santorum struggled to compete financially. He raised just $15.7 million during the same period and ended his campaign Tuesday with an emotional plea to supporters to help retire his debt.
"I am planning to do everything in my power to bring a change about in the White House," Santorum wrote. "But I cannot be free to focus on helping defeat him with this burden," asking his backers to consider contributions of as little as $25. His most recent financial reports showed he had more than $922,000 in debt at the end of February, even before an expensive round of Super Tuesday primaries in early March.
Obama and the Democratic National Committee had raised a combined $300 million through the end of February. However, the Republican National Committee, which started the election cycle deeply mired in debt, also has raised more than $110 million in the past 15 months and plans to report to the Federal Election Commission later this month that it has $30 million in cash reserves. That includes a $21.6 million "presidential trust" available to the party's nominee.
By month's end, the RNC will open offices in nine states and has spent months manning phone banks in Florida, North Carolina and Virginia to identify swing and independent voters it hopes to persuade to support the GOP candidate in November.
In a fundraising e-mail to supporters late Tuesday afternoon, Gingrich showed no signs of dropping out, calling himself "the last remaining conservative" in the race. He was seeking 12,000 donations by midnight.

Reviews for Turtle Cookie Cups
Average Rating
"I made these cookie cups exactly as the recipe directions.The cups looked like the picture and were delicious. My husband said they were really good.Tita"
"Good but not great!"
"Amazing! I tried these for a family get together. Instant hit & I had to make them for Christmas that year. I also used a salted Carmel ice cream topping rather than make the sauce, it was a first since I usually do, but it still tasted great so when in a pinch I've been ok using a cheat. But there's no losing with these treats. I'm making them again tonight for a bbq. No worries no how they'll be received"
"The grand kids gobbled these up. I used dark brown sugar. Next time I will use light brown sugar instead. The dark brown sugar made the cookie cups a bit to dark colored."
"These are really tasty. I didn't top with a pecan half, but just put a little more chopped pecans in the cup. I also used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, which was really good. Time consuming, but well worth it. Would definitely make these again. Also I used a cup of regular size caramels instead of the bits, and it worked just fine."
"can these be frozen also do you think these would be suitable to mail very much want to make these to sent to kids living in another state thanks for your helpI am going to give a 5 star rating because I believe they will be good have to rate to post my questions"
"We loved the taste of these cute little cups. People asked for the recipe!"
"Amazing! I ended up not putting the chocolate drizzle on top. On half I drizzled some sea salt and the others I left with just caramel. Yum! Thanks for sharing!!"
"eruther, you can buy bags of caramel bits in the chocolate chip aisle of Wal-Mart"
"By caramel bits do you mean those individually wrapped caramels or what?"
"I bake a lot for the holidays. Does anyone know if these would freeze ok?"
"These were an instant hit -- at home and at work. They turned out looking just like the picture. (That never happens!) And they were as delicious as they were beautiful."
"I dont usually do reviews but on this one, I made about 50 for our church and oh people just cant stop talking about how fancy and delicious they are..these are so easy and fast to make, my little girl even had fun helping out. I did make little changes tho, reduce butter and use toasted coconut flakes on top..soo good. Thanks Heather king for sharing your recipe."
"These are becoming a seasonal favorite."

Smoking at counter areas would also be banned, but the State Government has set no distance within which the ban would be enforced.
The chief executive of Action on Smoking and Health, Anne Jones, said: "It is basically voluntary. It's pathetic."
NSW lagged behind the other states in its efforts to stop passive smoking, which was dangerous to people's health, she said.
But the head of Clubs NSW, David Costello, said the restrictions were workable and clubs had been advised to interpret them "within the spirit" of the restrictions. The Australian Hotels Association did not return calls from the Herald.
From July next year licensees will have to make one bar smoke-free, if the venue has more than one, and are encouraged to provide smoke-free gaming rooms.
But Mr Goldman said the Government should have the courage to fully implement its decision to provide smoke-free workplaces and enforce it.
Restaurants had shown it was possible to survive after a ban.
"I didn't know that we placed such a minimum price on the health and safety of the people who frequent the clubs," he said.
A spokeswoman for the Industrial Relations Minister, John Della Bosca, said WorkCover had investigated 77 complaints from employees about smoking since September 2000. "In nearly all cases employers have taken steps to adopt smoke-free policies in accordance with WorkCover's advice," she said.
In South Australia, 13 people have brought workers compensation claims related to passive smoking since 1995.

I understand that newspapers are in dire straits, and I am glad just to be able to read a paper that is delivered to my door every morning.
However, I really miss the old Sunday outdoors section of The Salt Lake Tribune. I miss reading about hiking and skiing and fishing and all the other awesome activities that can be done in our amazing state. I also miss articles about travel and foreign destinations.
I still love The Tribune and will stand by it till the very end. But every Sunday I get a little nostalgic about how it used to be.

Are the Airlines Anti-Family?Planning a trip, husband David Ridenour finds that airlines aren't exactly family-friendly...
You ever wonder why airlines are about as popular as used car dealers these days? Perhaps it's due, in part, to their anti-family policies._____
Case in point: I learned this afternoon that when you fly with your family on Southwest Airlines, you can't use one frequent flyer number for everyone to consolidate your miles, but must establish a frequent flyer program for each family member. It doesn't matter that the same person is paying for all the flights nor that the children are very young.
As a Southwest agent helpfully noted, "It's a frequent flyer program -- you have to fly frequently."
That customer service training really paid off, didn't it?
Well, the Southwest agent wasn't exactly correct, anyway.
You see, since you can give away your "Rapid Rewards" points to any family member, the only thing Southwest achieves through this rule is giving already busy parents one more thing to do.
I take that back, it does do at least one more thing...
It adds to Southwest's costs (stockholders are gonna love that). Do they really think a seven year-old is going to fly more so he can take advantage of special Rapid Rewards promotions?
Of course, its not just Southwest that has anti-family policies.
Almost all the airlines now charge an "excess weight" charge -- usually $25-$50 -- for any bag weighing over 50 lbs.
The airlines argue that this policy is necessary to reduce excess fuel costs caused by overloaded baggage compartments. But if if this was really the case, wouldn't they impose an overall weight limit rather than a per piece limit?
Under the current policy, a businessman with two bags weighing 49 pounds each -- 98 pounds total -- is charged nothing, while a parent with a bag weighing 70 pounds -- or as little as 51 pounds -- is charged up to $50.
There's a practical reason why parents, especially those with small children or children with special needs, might have heavier luggage. They might try to consolidate everything into one bag to have a hand free for children.
These parents are faced with a choice: Pay the extra $50 or take the risk their child won't be lost or abducted in a busy airport.
Cost savings? In this litigious country, it's only a matter of time before a distraught parent sues an airline.
Stockholders are gonna love that, too.

text: It's been a while since we shared an Artem Zlobin track but if you missed it, be sure to check out his fresh new two track EP, 'Marvel', which dropped on Cool Records just recently. How this Russian producer's sound and style has not exploded through every speaker and venue in the scene is still unbeknownst to me, and probably to many other fans as well. Artem creates some of the craziest and most complex sounding productions I have ever heard, seriously. Be sure to check out his 'Impulse' track (something we shared months ago) to hear exactly what I'm referring to. His Marvel EP his now available on Beatport so show a little support if you can and head over for a copy. Remember, all Beatport purchases are 10% off in the month of Novemeber. Just use the "UNLOCK" code before completing a purchase. ☺Enjoy☺
