"Nice and Quiet"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 24, 2013
Nice and quiet hotel nestled up in the hills overlooking Karon beach. Hotel has shuttle service every 2 hours from early morning to late night which can take you to all the popular spots. The hotel has it's own restaurant which provides many dishes to suit all taste buds. The salt water pool is very refreshing after a long hot day of exploring.
"Great location and hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
I stayed in the deluxe pool access room, large king size bed modern and clean room. There is a bar in the pool which is easy to get to from your balcony. The hotel is situated pretty much parallel to bangla road and is about a 100m walk to the closest bar anyway. Hotel service is fantastic and it has 24 hour room service.
"Totally suitable for couples and honeymooners"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
The most private of Villas we have ever stayed !High walls - your own plunge pool which was fantastic ! i read some reviews from people that they wouldn't use the pool because it looked green . Well the pool tiles ARE Green and the pool was in perfect condition and a delight in such warm weather! The breakfasts cooked in your villa every morning were beautiful and all the staff were delightful.Highly recommend this property !

Baan Krating is in a lovely location, its quite far from everything else in Phuket but if you are looking for somewhere quiet and on teh beach to stay than this is perfect. The room was roomy and clean over looking the ocean. The only bad thing I can say, that it was horrible to see other guests littering the beach with ciggarettes and rubbish as well as taking marine life out of the ocean- starfish and hermit crabs and back to there rooms as momento's. Staff simply watched on- surely they would want to protect their surroundings. I just think that staff should do more to stop this before the beach and surround are ruined.
"excellent"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
Excellent 2br apartment. Service from reception outstanding. Restaurant also very good with good service and range of dishes. 10min walk to bangla and 5min to beach and out of the thick of the action. Not hassled at all by staff and very helpful and friendly

Only 3 km south of Patong, this beach is famed for its five-kilometre long white beach sand that squeaks under your feet. Mostly single row sunbeds decked along the stretch offer unsurpassed and unblocked views. Turtles are periodic nocturnal visitors to the beach. Recreational activities at this beach include paragliding, windsurfing, snorkeling, and volleyball. Thai Massage and reflexology are also offered on the beach.

Not nice having jackhammers & workmen around all day, especially whilst trying to relax by the pool & read on the balconyGenuine Expedia guest review
"Karon Sovereign All Suites Resort"
The Karon Sovereign met all of our expectations and holiday needs. It was a nice, large suite with two good size bedrooms, an ensuite, living area and kitchenette. We were told that the Karon Sovereign had just changed names and noted a lot of work going on to spruce the place up. The staff are friendly, many don't speak much English, but the ones who […] do are more than happy to help with some simply Thai phrases and words. Karon Beach area itself was great for our family. We didn't want to expose the kids to the "full on" Thai experience in Bangkok or Patong, so Karon was a great slightly less frantic alternative. The beach at Karon was very nice to look at, but had a awesome rip and could be quite rough and there are no life guards available here. The resort itself is set back about two blocks from the beach and main street. Whilst we enjoyed being forced to walk this distance each day (usually a couple of times), I can see how some people would like to be closer. The resort did offer a shuttle twice a day and there is a tuk tuk station not far, however we preferred to walk. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
A nice and relaxing place to stay. Located within walking distance from Karon beach and not far by taxi to Patong. Great swimming pool and layout. Buffet breakfast (if included) is slightly different each day which is nice. Although a little expensive, the resort offers taxi services, tours and massages. We were given a free shoulder massage on arrival. […] They also provide a free shuttle to Karon beach twice daily. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Karon All Suites good budget family accom"
Karon Sovreign is a good family resort however it is small and a little bit out dated. We stayed in a penthouse suite and found the room occupied the entire top floor of the building we were in our children had their own room and we had our own room with a large bed which was very comfortable, the was a kitchn, lounge area, PACKS OF ROOM!. The room […] is in need of a renovation as décor is out dated a cupboards stick and don't open properly but it is comfortable and served our needs. Cons for the hotel are that 1. Services at the hotel are a bit lacking as it is small, there is only one restaurant (Great food however# 2. No gym 3. the pool is fairly small 4. Major con room water pressure is terrible and we had four water outages during our stay 5. Location is a bit if an issue as with a family you have to taxi it into Karon #200 baht each way) as the hotel is located up a hill and is to far for kids to walk although adults could walk it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good stay for families"
Hotel is great for families. Rooms are very spacious and kept clean. Food for buffet breakfast was good too.The only drawback is the distance to town and beach. It cost 400 baht tro go to Patong and even short distance in a Tuk Tuk was fairly expensive.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Definitely worth a stay."
Arrived late on a Sunday night during the monsoon season. The guy at reception drove us around the back of the hotel so we could be closer to our room. He did this, getting quite wet in the process even though he could have just directed us on how to get to our room. This kind of service was emblematic of our 12 day stay there. The staff were always […] smiling and greeting us. With three young children (9,7,3) the very large horseshoe shaped pool--usually only with my family using it--was particularly welcome. The buffet breakfast consists of cereals, fruit, breads (toast and croissants), cold cut ham and cheese, yogurt, eggs cooked on the spot as you like them (boiled, omelette, fried etc) bacon and a dish that differed everyday (baked beans, fried rice, potato). Juice and your preferred coffee (long black, cappuccino) is also included. We didn't use the restaurant for lunch or dinner although the menu looked tempting and reasonably priced. We had a junior suite which has two rooms and two bathrooms. The floors are marble and unfortunately my wife slipped on the wet floor so please take care as the water wasn't visible on the light coloured marble. The beds are comfortable: with room service making them up everyday I'm not sure whether the sheets are changed everyday although I know that the towels are replaced everyday with five bottles of water given as well. The hotel is 900 metres from the beach and 1km to the main street in Karon: a nice walk we did a few times daily. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A Great Hotel at Karon Beach"
The hotel was excellent and the staff were always smiling. Beautiful swimming pool and restaurant/bar. Our 2 bedroom Junior Suite was also very good. The only negative as the noisy air-conditioning which we had to switch off during the night. Can't complain about anything else! The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes and downhill. For our family […] with two boys, 16 and 13 years old the return trip was no trouble but it could be for older people. There are taxis and tuk tuk's available, though, to take you back. The hotel also had a shuttle bus leaving the hotel at 10.30am with a pickup at 3.30pm. I would recommend this hotel to my friends. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good family holiday place"
Spent six nights here, overall a nice place, although beds were very hard. Pool was great and breakfast each day was good. We had in room dining a couple of times and it was really nice. Weren't too fussed on the smell from the water treatment plant right behind the hotel although this was worst on days 1 and 2. The walk down the hill wasn't so bad […] and if you don't want to walk back up you just hop in a tuk tuk for 200 baht. The beach didn't interest us as it didn't compare to our beaches here in Oz. Wouldn't stay again only because I prefer to be a little closer to the action and love to walk around town at night. Lots of places to eat and shop at and especially loved the massages, go for the oil much more relaxing,not thai. Generally a nice place to holiday. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Dewa Resort - Average"
I took my mother and daughter for a 5 day stay stay at the Dewa Resort, overall it was ok. I was surprised that a resort which was only just over 12mths old was already tired looking. Our room which was a Family Suite (2bdrms 2 baths) was very tired, granite bench tops very scratched, walls/paint very marked and grubby looking. Kitchen cupboards needed […] a good clean, there were splashes and runs of possibly milk on them. Mirror on the cupboard door in bed 2 had fingerprints on it. Overall just grubby. The beds were the worst beds I have ever slept in! and I've travelled extensively, they were so bad I ended up sleeping on the couch which was more comfortable, we organised another doona which mum slept on top of, just to make it a little more comfortable for her. When I looked at pics on Dewa they showed a couch and easy chair in the lounge, we only had a 3 seater couch, so there really wasn't alot of having your own space for a room which is supposed to cater for 4 adults! When we went for a swim there was thick mould around the inner rim of the pool and also where the waterfall is into the lower section of the pool, it was really off putting and didn't really want to swim in there after seeing this (yuk) Also had several problems with air conditioning not cooling properly, which in the 2nd bedroom was never really resolved. On a positive note, the food was excellent, the staff very friendly and extremely polite and helpful, particularly the gentlemen. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Family friendly stay!"
We were very pleased with the resort. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. It was in good location. Off the main street but still an easy walk to the shops and the beach.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent resort for families"
The hotel is very comfortable and all the staff were friendly and helpful. We all loved The pool. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We could manage the walk to town and the beach but it was a bit Difficult for my parents. There is a free bus once a day, it would be handy to have This service more often throughout the day.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Dewa was great"
Our stay at the Dewa was great. The staff are friendly and will help you with anything that they can. Our room was clean and the surrounds were clean. The only problem we found was the smell that came from the building behind the hotel. It wasnt all day but it did smell worse at different time of the day. Overall we enjoyed the hotel and would stay […] there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great Time for the Whole Family"
We loved our Stay at the Dewa Karon Beach the resort was very pretty and the apartment very very comfortable with aircon in each room. Water supplied free daily as the water is not drinkable from taps. Pool was great. Staff very friendly and the complimentary Breakfast was wonderful however we all put on weight it was so good. The Town of Karon is […] lovely and great for the Family lots of friendly locals willing to help a foreigner. The only thing I feel would improve the whole experience would be more free transports times to and from the hotel to the Town of Karon as it is a 15 min walk down hill there and up hill back. Even with this we would definitely recommend anyone to go stay at this superb resort. Well worth it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Enjoyed my stay"
Breakfast was good though there wasn't a huge variety but enough to keep you happy .The omolettes were beautiful. We stayed in a junior suite and with two bathrooms with a spa in one and two good sized bedrooms ,there was ample room for three of us. The lounge room had a flat screen tv with DVD,80 channels and free wi-fi plus a pull out bed. For the […] price you pay I would definitely stay there again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Stylish resort, 10 mins walk to beach and town"
Loved everything about this place. Very clean, new, stylish and spacious 2 bed apartment up 2 flights of stairs (no lift). Kitchenette with microwave, kettle and large fridge/freezer (no other cooking facilities). Large balcony with table and 4 chairs. Large ensuite bathroom with shower over bathtub, second shower room to second bedroom. Breakfast buffet […] had cereals, fruit, yoghurt, breads and croissants, egg station, sausages, bacon etc. Restaurant menu limited for lunch and dinner; better value at Pacific Club resort next door (fantastic choices, great prices). Plenty of restaurant choices in Karon, 10 mins walk. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very safe walking up narrow roadway to resort during day, not so sure at night as road is poorly lit. We either ate early in town and walked back before dark or ate next door. Daily free shuttle to beach or Karon town. If Karon beach is too rough for swimming, local bus (30 baht) goes to beautiful Kata beach. Would recommend and would return to Dewa resort. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Dewa Karon Beach. A wonderful place to stay"
The resort staff are wonderful and management speak english. We stayed in a 2 bedroom appartment which was very spaceous and equipt with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The resort is a walk down hill to town but you can catch a taxi for 200baht no matter how many people as they also have a mini bus. The restuarant breakfast and meals […] are very tasty. My family and I sampled quite alot of their menu and found it to be cooked with Thai influence and care. They have musical entertainment on 3 nights a week by a very talented musician which coencided with their happy hour, which is a great place to meet new people and have a wonderful time. My family and I would highly recommend this resort . We stayed 16 days and enjoyed every day even rainy days as the staff go out of their way to make you happy. Thankyou to each staff member at the Dewa for making our stay memorable From Sharon Vesa Robert and Crystal Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
It was okay. A fair walk way from the beach and shops, uphill on the way home. Rooms were much smaller than others we stayed in in Phuket. Was handy to have a 2 bedroom apartment though, which seem harder to find.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Excellent Hotel"
Upon arrival I was upgraded to a family suite, which has 2 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms & complimentary wifi . The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The condition of the room was excellent and very clean. The location is a few minutes walk from the beach & Karon centre, but nothing too strenuous. Overall it was a very relaxing holida […] y. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Affordable oasis in Karon"
The hotel is placed in imaculate tropical gardens, the staff are always friendly and speak good english, we were upgraded to a family suite on arrival which was clean, spacious and luxurious. The hotel is a 10 minute walk to the beach which we didn't mind walking, for those who prefer though the hotel provides a shuttle daily. Breakfast is amazing with […] a range from western cooked breaky to fruits and buns. All in all I would recommend this affordable oasis to anyone without hesitation. For a 3 star price it was more like a 5 star resort. The only negative I can say is the room service menu was a limited version of the restaurant menu and got a bit same-ish if you ordered in a lot.

"Great stay... recommended"
Very nice new hotel although not happy to give over credit card details on arrival even though payment had already been made through Expedia for our stay. Staff very helpful and friendly. A little bit out of town but nothing that a little walk didn't fix and there was transport available at the hotel in the morning to the beach/town, and a taxi service […] just down the road. We were upgraded on arrival to a better room which made the stay even more enjoyable. Fantastic pool for children and adults alike. The massage unit was also great.

"Tucked away in a quiet place."
Overall, pretty much satisfied. This is truly a getaway location for families with children. Some construction noise, but not too inconvenient. Water and power interruptions are the norm when additional work to add facilities to the location are in progress. Parking is a bit of a concern if rental cars are utilized by guests as there is a limited number […] of parking spaces as a ratio to the number of guest rooms. As far as dining on the premises: I would strongly suggest that current management seriously consider eliminating the mandatory 10% service fee, and the 7% tax as the prices are a bit more than local peer group amounts. The service tends to be lacking when in Thailand but the smallness of the place seems to balance it off as a trade. When you add the 17% on top of the prices, especially the alcohol beverages, the prices are too high. This information was shared to me by a departing couple from Adelaide. But, I decided to see for myself and I have to agree with their comments. Other than that be clear about any credit card deposits and requesting a copy of your card voucher on check out so as not to incur any "hidden" surprises later as they did not provide a "zero balance" portfolio on the check out after we were there for six days.

"Home away from home"
Tidy place, wonderful breakfast, great pool and less than 10 mintue walk to Karon shopping. All staff very helpful and polite - would definately stay again. Suite had a kitchen and full size fridge to have some food items on hand. Two bedroom with two bathrooms was perfect for our family of 4 during our 12 day stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
Service staff are friendly. Water stoppage happened twice, dirty water flowed out for a period of time. This was due to the construction site beside. It will be recommended for a group of friends or family, not ideal for couples.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
slightly far away. otherwise a very comfortable hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not too sovereign"
The receptionists were not very helpful and not courteous. They were all rude. We expereienced a lot of power outages and the wifi signal sucks. The rooms were too small, to think it was a family suite we got. It was also far from the main street.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was here on a holiday wanted to stay away for hustle bustle of phuket city centre had a good time staff was exceellent rooms were pretty good the pool and jacuzzi were amazing everyone enjoyed it if you can adjust with the location this is the resort for you.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Comfortable resort"
We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were friendly. The resort is a bit far from the attractions but we rented scooters to get around the island during our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Nice hotel but not easy to access everywhere. Do not take the presidential suite if ur with small kid. There wasn't any lift, have to take stairs.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Beautiful hotel"
Such a beautiful hotel, but there is a Way to go to Beach and town, and only one shuttlebus a dayGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not for families - very interior from road"
The hotel is very far from Karon beach and not a walking distance. We went in with high hopes but it is not child friendly. It is more like serviced apartment. We were travelling with kids and the restaurant in the hotel is merely a cafeteria. The breakfast is average and no facility after 10:30. One day while returning from the fantasia show, we had […] to just sleep without food. Taxi drivers even don't know where the hotel is. It is very disappointing experience and I won't recommend anyone to stay here. I learned that with family (kids/father mother), you should stick to the big branded names like novotel, hilton, meridian etc.. Also - the best place to stay in Phuket would be patang beach (not Karon). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"perfect all-suites spacious resort for family"
great value, luxuriously appointed spacious rooms; service needs to be propped up though - on checkin the receiptionist insisted on collecting airport transfer fee upfront & was a stickler in enforcing the 2pm checkin rule. One of the staff at the restaurant was not very forthcoming & seemed reluctant to serve us - if only I could remember his name […] - short malay-looking guy. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Could be better..."
The Resort Pros: Good place if you are looking to spend quality time with your family and friends as the resort is tucked away nicely away from the crowd (a 10-15mins walk to Karon Beach). Great pool and we spent a good deal of our time having fun in it. Most of the staffs in the resort are friendly and always looking after your needs. Cons: A sewage […] plant at the back of the resort which occasionally emitting out pungent odour and the smell is more frequent and stronger during the mid day. The smell was not an issue while we were in our rooms. Thai food in the hotel was reasonably priced for a resort but the quality was of average. We were left with a bad taste and left us with a lot to ponders after we were served with a spoilt mango sticky rice for our room service. One timing for complimentary ride to karon beach at 1030am The Room: Penthouse suites Pros: Big area and clean Met expectation for a resort room Cons: Inconsistent supply of hot water for the shower despite regulating the tap. Got scalded on a few occasions as if there is a sudden surge with the supply of hot water and sometimes it was just cold water with the tap adjusted for hot water. Balconies of our rooms are directly linked to the corridor without any barriers. We have to keep our balcony door locked at all time even when we were in the rooms. Look out for the sharp corners of the coffee table as one of the rooms has it fully exposed and we got ourselves a few scratches when navigating round it. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great for family with older kids"
We had a junior family suite,2 x adults 2 x teenagers. The hotel is great. Its about a 10-15 min walk from the beach restaurants and markets, which was no problem for us, but might be if you dont like to walk in the heat.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very nice hotel"
The hotels room are all suites. with this price the room is very good value for money. very clean and new. very quiet, great for family stay. the pool is nice with salt water. breakfast is delicious. Only two drawbacks, one is location, you need to walk 15-20min to the busy street of Karon, and one day we decide to rent a motorbike, they are all fully […] booked. Another thing is the service. Only a few of them can speak English. Sometimes hard to communicate. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very good accomodation for family holidays"
Very good Hotel for family holidays. Nice and clean room and apartment style living. The negatives are the too many stairs around the property and climbing on stairs to first floor accomodation and second floor accomodation is a bit tiring. Hotel staff is very inflexibile checkin and checkout times. Like we arrived 20 min before their 2pm standard check-in […] times, yet we couldn't get to our room. Despite the fact that they were aware of our flight plans. We arrived in Phuket after a tiring 12 hours tiring journey and long BKK transit. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very Nice Place!"
A really good hotel for the price. It's nestled at the foot of the mountain a little bit back from the beach and has beautiful views of the pristine mountains and the sea.

New music from Slim, formerly of 112.
Thursday is honestly one of my favorite days of the week, because you know right after Thursday, Friday is here! "I love Thursdays" theme night at the Funky Buddah in Chicago is one of my favorite places to celebrate the fact that the weekend is here!!
On one lovely Thursday Slim of the R&B group 112 stopped by to host the night and perform, and I got a chance to chill out with him. Slim is back on his solo mission. After the success of his first solo single "So Fly" Slim has even more great music in store for the fans. Slim just dropped his newest mixtape entitled Cruisin' the City Vol. 1, including a snippet of his new single that will be dropping this year entitled "Baby, Baby" featuring the late great Biggie Smalls.
During my sit down interview Slim let me in on a little secret ..there will never be another 112 album..ever again..man that hit me hard!! 112 was one of my favorite groups R&B groups of all time, at least they left us with several amazing songs like "Cupid", "Peaches and Cream", and "Only You", not to mention their amazing albums. Slim is picking up right where 112 left off and he is definitely doing is thang! Check out the video of Slim performing live at "I Love Thursdays" at The Funky Buddah.
Also in the house was R&B singer/songwriter J-Lyn so you know I had to chop it up with her and see what she had in store for her fans in the new year. Also included are clips from her new video "Housemaid". Check it out!

What young people know, like and need.
One of the ways that FPQ aims to improve the content of training for the youth sector workforce is by asking young people what they know, like and need when it comes to sexual health, blood borne viruses and youth friendly services.
In 2008-2009, FPQ engaged with over 200 young people through informal focus groups to gather their opinions on what constitutes youth-friendly health services, as well as to better understand what they know about sexual health and blood borne viruses. The results of these focus groups were then shared with the youth sector workforce to help them prioritise sexual health and blood borne virus education in their work with young people.
For your information: Consulting with young people about sexual health: what young people know, like and need
In 2010, FPQ collaborated with young people who are students at the University of Southern Queensland's School of Creative Arts to transform this information into an online video resource for the youth sector workforce: What young people know, like and need: Sexual health, blood borne viruses and youth-friendly services. If you work with young people and want to know what they think, watch the video below!

Youth-friendly services
FPQ would like to thank:
- all the young people who have participated in focus groups and shared their opinions;
- the University of Southern Queensland student production team and staff;
- all FPQ staff who have supported this research and the development of the production; and
- Queensland Health who provides funding for the HIV/ AIDS, hepatitis C and sexual health promotion with young people project.

Ottawa 2011 – Scenes From The Closing Ceremonies
By Dan Sarto
Another OIAF Grand Prix gets awarded, another Phil Mulloy feature takes top prize, another grumbling voice can be heard complaining about the winners. Much like the start of Ontario's moose hunting season, which I watched in awe Sunday on a TV at the back of a bar, as the Nelvana Grand Prix is announced, "second-guessing the judging" season once again begins in the province. Hopefully, you won't see too many animators hanging upside down, suspended from a crane over the bloody bed of a pickup truck. But you never know.
The festival's 2011 edition concluded with all the formality and aggrandizement you've come to expect, which is to say, very little. Never one to let form get in the way of function, Festival Director Chris Robinson this year turned over emcee duties (if you consider emceeing to consist of standing at a lectern searching sheets of paper for forgotten announcements) to the improvisational FFAF podcasting pair of Joel Frenzer and Alan Foreman. Often deviating from what I'm sure was a largely unrehearsed script (ie., a card that read 'get out there and do something'), the two guided the audience through proceedings filled with too many kids, too few clips of winning work and a beatbox rap done in Chinese. In between, special guests and festival juries sat center stage and awarded a large number of richly-deserving films. You can read the complete list of winners here. Here are some pictures.

The Athletics and Rangers just made the kind of trade that only really smart, really confident general managers make. In this case, it was Billy Beane of the A's and Jon Daniels of the Rangers.

The U.S., the UK and other Western governments and others are pushing hard to unlock billions of dollars of funds for a post-Gadhafi regime in Tripoli using some of the assets frozen because of sanctions.
There's certainly lots of it around. As my colleagues reported Thursday, the U.S. holds $37 billion in Libyan assets, the UK $19.6 billion, and Germany around $10.5 billion.
But handing over money frozens in dozens of countries is no simple matter. Assets ranging from London real estate to stakes in Italian banks have been frozen under EU law, UN resolutions and, sometimes, unilateral national decisions. In some cases, it could take lengthy court cases for money to be handed over; in others, just a few days.

Information for Patients and Caregivers
Cancer patients who are treated with chemotherapy are more likely to get infections through everyday activities, or from health care settings. One out of every 10 cancer patients who receives chemotherapy gets an infection that requires a hospital visit.
What Is an Infection?
You get an infection when germs enter your body and multiply, causing illness, organ and tissue damage, or disease. Bacteria and viruses cause infections.
- You can get bacteria from the air, water, soil, or food during the course of your medical treatment. Most bacteria come from your own body. Common bacterial infections include pneumonia, bronchitis, and ear infections.
- Viruses are passed from one person to another. Common viral infections include the common cold, herpes, and the flu.
How Does the Body Normally Fight Infections?
The immune system helps your body protect itself from getting an infection. Cancer and chemotherapy can damage this system, reducing your numbers of infection-fighting white blood cells and making it harder for your body to fight infections.
How Can I Prevent Infections During Chemotherapy?
1. Prepare: Watch Out for Fever
If you get a fever during your chemotherapy treatment, it's a medical emergency. Fever may be the only sign that you have an infection, and an infection during chemotherapy can be life-threatening.
You should take your temperature any time you feel warm, flushed, chilled, or not well. If your temperature is 100.4°F (38°C) or higher for more than one hour, or 101°F (38.3°C) or higher for any length of time, call your doctor right away, even if it happens in the middle of the night. You should also—
- Find out from your doctor when your white blood cell count is likely to the be the lowest, since this is when you're most at risk for infection.
- Keep a working thermometer in a convenient location and know how to use it.
- Keep your doctor's phone numbers with you at all times. Make sure you know what number to call when their office is open and closed.
- If you have to go to the emergency room, tell the person checking you in that you are a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. If you have a fever, you might have an infection. This is a life-threatening condition, and you should be seen quickly.
2. Prevent: Clean Your Hands
Clean hands help prevent infections. Many diseases are spread by not cleaning your hands, which is especially dangerous when you're getting chemotherapy treatment because your body may not be able to fight off infections like it used to. You and anyone who comes around you, including all members of your household, your doctors, and nurses, should clean their hands frequently. Don't be afraid to ask people to clean their hands. Use soap and water to wash your hands. If soap and water aren't available, it's OK to use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Be sure to clean your hands—
- Before, during, and after cooking food.
- Before you eat.
- After going to the bathroom.
- After changing diapers or helping a child use the bathroom.
- After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- After touching or cleaning up after your pet.
- After touching trash.
- Before and after treating a cut or wound or caring for your catheter, port, or other access device.
3. Protect: Know the Signs and Symptoms of Infection
During your chemotherapy treatment, your body may not be able to fight off infections like it used to. When your white blood cell counts are low, you must take infection symptoms seriously. Infection during chemotherapy can lead to hospitalization or death. Call your doctor right away if you notice any of the following signs and symptoms of an infection—
- Fever (this is sometimes the only sign of an infection).
- Chills and sweats.
- Change in cough or a new cough.
- Sore throat or new mouth sore.
- Shortness of breath.
- Nasal congestion.
- Stiff neck.
- Burning or pain with urination.
- Unusual vaginal discharge or irritation.
- Increased urination.
- Redness, soreness, or swelling in any area, including surgical wounds and ports.
- Diarrhea.
- Vomiting.
- Pain in the abdomen or rectum.
- New onset of pain.
Find out from your doctor when your white blood cell count is likely to be the lowest, since this is when you're most at risk for infection. This usually occurs between 7 and 12 days after you finish each chemotherapy dose, and may last up to one week.
What Should I Do If I Think I Have an Infection?
Call your doctor right away, even if this happens in the middle of the night. This is considered an emergency. Don't wait until morning. Keep your doctor's phone numbers with you at all times. Make sure you know what number to call during your doctor's office hours, as well as after hours.
CDC produced materials to help promote awareness about the importance of preventing infections in cancer patients. The fact sheet is intended to be handed out to patients and caregivers. The posters can be placed in patient waiting areas, staff lounges, emergency rooms, and anywhere that patients and health care providers might view them. Selected materials can be ordered in limited quantities.

I'm need to have Aerosim come back and explain it all to us:
Big banks at center of interest rate probe
That's a large number, me thinks.NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- It affects everything from mortgages to credit cards to student loans, and now some of the world's biggest banks are at the center of a criminal investigation into whether they manipulated it for their own benefit.
The London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, is a measure of the cost of borrowing between banks that serves as a benchmark for over $350 trillion worth of financial products worldwide.
It's not too complicated. Under the reserve banking laws, banks are required to have a percentage of their deposits actually on hand at the end of every business day. 9% in the United States, as I recall. (Yes, your bank only has 9% of your checking account actually in the vault, but we can debate reserve banking somewhere else).
When they have less than they are required by law, they have to borrow the money from another bank or a state central bank (federal reserve in the US). When they borrow from another bank, the interest rates on the interbank loans are the LIBOR rate that the article mentions. I believe that most American banks use the prime rate (which is set by the US Federal Reserve) for interbank lending, while European banks use the libor average which is set by the British banks.
But, even in America, some loans like mortgages are set an interest rate of LIBOR + some percentage. Like if the current LIBOR average is 5%, then the going rate for a mortgage might be LIBOR + 5%, so 10% interest. Just making numbers, obviously.
If banks are colluding to keep the LIBOR average high so they can charge more interest on their loans, then that would certainly be another blow to the public's trust on the banking system, like the article says.
^^ In a nutshell, you either have a fixed rate or a variable rate. If it's variable, it's probably tied to the "prime rate" in the US. That would be pretty much all variable interest mortgages and credit cards. To the individual borrower, a tenth of a percent here or there makes no difference, but when that tenth of a percent affects trillions, the impact is hundreds of millions to billions.
Yes, you're right the prime rate is used in veritable rate loans but I think the prime rate is incorporated into fixed rate mortgages too at the time when the interest rate is determined.
But the US prime rate isn't the LIBOR rate. The US prime rate is determined by the federal reserve, the LIBOR rate is determined by the London banks. Some US loans do use the LIBOR rate though so there would be cause for concern if the banks were manipulating the LIBOR average.
Edit: Yes, re-reading what I wrote, myv65's clarification is important. The LIBOR and prime rates do affect the average consumer on the street (and other businesses - everybody borrows money), not just interbank lending, which wasn't immediately clear in my first reply to BD.
I just wish there was more coverage on the LIBOR and prime rates. I don't even know what affects them. All everybody hears is this interbank lending rate, which while it is important... not everyone gets a use out of it and is not affected by it that much.
I don't doubt it, but the obvious distinguishing factor is once you sign on the dotted line, your interest rate remains constant until you pay off the loan, whether in the conventional sense, via refinancing, default, etc. Along with all the other crapola, I remain convinced that a good portion of our population who bought houses with little to no money down and opted for variable rate, interest only loans have no friggin' clue what all that jazz means. . . To quote the Ron White tour, you can't fix stupid.
As for determining fixed rates, I'm pretty sure whatever doesn't go into school lunches or hot dogs goes into determining fixed mortgage rates.

A company whose value is dependent on the continued success of two key products, now has a larger market capitalization (at $542 billion), than the entire US retail sector (as defined by the S&P 500). Little to add here.
Weekly unemployment claims (new). Unadjusted figures:
UNADJUSTED DATAThe advance number of actual initial claims under state programs, unadjusted, totaled 337,713 in the week ending March 10, a decrease of 30,719 from the previous week. There were 371,721 initial claims in the comparable week in 2011.
The advance unadjusted insured unemployment rate was 3.0 percent during the week ending March 3, a decrease of 0.2 percentage point from the prior week's revised rate of 3.2 percent. The advance unadjusted number for persons claiming UI benefits in state programs totaled 3,841,622, a decrease of 147,268 from the preceding week. A year earlier, the rate was 3.4 percent and the volume was 4,296,805.
The total number of people claiming benefits in all programs for the week ending February 25 was 7,424,040, an increase of 36,392 from the previous week.
I think its fairly safe to say its getting better out there. We keep this up and oil prices dont kill us maybe it will stick this year. The caution of course is this looks similar to last year then bang...it slowed again. Lets also hope employers arent as paranoid of Obamacare costs.
And sheesh..Apple stock. Off topic I know but its an amazing thing to witness.
Analysts say 710 is about right as mid price future with highs near 960 or so. I smell a split before it gets there.

I actually agree with him. I'd like to play Mario or Zelda at the best graphics available. That'd be great in my opinion. I also don't really care for the innovations Nintendo likes to bring to each system. I'd honestly rather just play with a standard controller and play some good ol' Mario, like back in the NES and SNES.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it out of the UK and just sold the 3DS there. Those numbers are abysmal.
Also, sooooo much ignorance in these comments. I'll continue to let @electrolite77 and @Kirk tell it like it is.
Local multiplayer is superior to online in my eyes.
There is no reason not to include it. Some people prefer online. Additionally, and probably more importantly, some people can't get their friends together in one room to play. Online gives them the option to play with friends and family who are away. There's really no reason to not include online besides laziness.
I kinda wish they'd stop revealing secret characters. I was hoping to avoid spoilers, unlike in Brawl where I temptation led me to find out all the secret characters.
How have you people not heard of this guy? His scathing reviews are hilarious! Seriously, Zero Punctuation, his show! Watch it!
@3Daniel Apparently it's still in development. http://www.siliconera.com/2013/04/29/keiji-inafune-talks-about-soul-sacrifice-kaio-king-of-pirates-and-comcepts-other-projects/
People don't seem to realize that glitches are necessary to get a time like this. It is physically impossible to beat OoT the normal way at around 20 minutes. The game is just too long.
I like how everyone is mad about this article. They probably didn't even read it and didn't realize how she wrote about that Tomodachi game for 3DS, a NINTENDO console. Seriously, lighten up
@ToxorAxiom BioShock Infinite is quite different from 1 and 2. Just because they all have guns doesn't mean they're the same.
I'll miss all of them tbh. For a while I used the Forecast Channel first thing in the morning before going to school. I also really enjoyed Nintendo Week back in the day. Not to mention voting was always fun. R.I.P. Wii channels

neatPros: Loving it, picked it up from Newegg last month on weekend sale. New Non-Refurb they had dropped down to $349 from $449. Hope they do it again soon since 2014 models came out so I can get another, but i wouldn't pay $449 for these. Cons: none Other Thoughts: Grab a screen protector, it's a magnet for fingerprints... everywhere Did you find this review helpful? |
Galaxy Note 10.1Pros: excellent product,love it. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Best Android Tablet hands downPros: Spen is precise & tracking is extremely accurate. Quad core Xenos & 2gb am makes this tablet fly. Jellybean 4.1.2 is buttery smooth. Display is crisp & very vivid. Cons: None, it wasn't free? Other Thoughts: I have tried the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Asus Infinity, & Acer A500. The Note 10.1 is by far the best Android tablet available. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent tabletPros: S-Pen: highly accurate, good for taking notes (I eliminated my paper notebook). Cons: the screen is a bit of a fingerprint magnet Other Thoughts: Amazing tablet. Highly recommend 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
awesome devicePros: Way too many to list... Cons: I Really want to give this device 5 stars but it does have 2 bad points: Other Thoughts: Stick with the 32mb version of this device, hopefully (if the Internet rumors are true) will release an update that will restore the app2sd functionality. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Absolutely love it! I've been using it in all my classes to take notes. The S-Pen is very accurate. Such a powerful device. I wish they had an interface dock for this so I could use it in my home music studio! Won't be disappointed! Cons: No 3G. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great but S Pen...Pros: Sleek looking and Android OS is a far cry better than Windows 8. Cons: I bought this for the S-Pen and more specifically the OCR function (Optical Character Recognition - converting handwriting or print to rtf text). If you think you'll be able to take notes during a staff meeting with the OCR guess again. It takes too long to convert handwriting. You will have to pause every two-four words or so the program can do its converting. It is definitely NOT fluid enough for journaling or professional writing either. And that's a bummer because the OCR was the main reason I chose Samsung over iPad. The plain handwriting function (where the program stores just the image of your handwriting isn't too bad. Forget shorthand/fast note taking. Other Thoughts: Lesson learned I guess: read reviews first. I would have rated it four stars but I hate when a program is marketed and the release turns out to be half---. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: The tablet works great it does have very good features. The options to have an SD card slot and also a Universal 30 pin to USB adapter. This tablet does provide what the Apple iPad can not and that is customizable options. the battery lasts about 6 hours of movie play times, in game mode options the battery last about 5 hours with 50 percent brightness of the display. the tablet is a educational tool. With it's Enynos Quad core processor the tablet does performance very fast. Designing and editing documents are as easy as 1 2 3. With the Android OS Icecream Sandwich 4.0.4 it happen to function pretty well other than the issues I've came across. A display at 1280x720 with a PPI of 144 does look good. Now taking pictures with the 1.9MP camera looks good and also 5.0 on the rear but at times a little muddy looking. Cons: 1 of my big issues with samsung galaxy note 10.1 tablet was that it was completely very disappointed on the functionality the pen. The tip for the S-Pen was unstable after 30 days and didn't received replacements in my unboxing of this product. to add to that there were no headphones either. I have called Samsung and repeatedly asks for the headphones and the replacement tips, a response was that I needed to prove that I had to provide a purchase receipt from Best Buy when I've already register my product but also to add to the issues 10 percent of my display is not working correctly with the S-pen. I had to restore my tablet 5 times in the process due to its functionality. It's been over 90 days and I still haven't received any of my accessories like the Tis for the S-Pen or headphones. Other Thoughts: A best display would be nice. PPI is low and can easy see pixels while watching movies. Samsung support ninth USA is very poor and some staff are not computer or technology educated. was transfer all over the Samsung support and spend over 6 hours total off and on calling them about 14 times. Long waiting periods or after 40minutes on hold, the phone would hang. The price should have been in the respectively 449.99 for 16GB. Voice features isn't as complete accurate as they say. 2 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: I like my new tablet, very nice, easy to use, was expecting a little bit more thought. I would give this tablet 4 stars, it's just I had a terrible experience whith newegg customer service, terrible, terrible . I would not recommend buying this tablet from this store, they selling them unsealed , 3 times I had to sand the tablet back, and 3 times it came unsealed. Cons: Don't buy this Samsung galaxy note 10.1 for m this store, I had a bad experience, you gonna get unsealed box. I got an unsealed box 3 times in the raw. So i had to buy it from somewhere else. 2 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Does what I want it toPros: Light weight, simple design, dual window viewing, good speakers and audio, stylus is good for note taking/writing in general, display is good and doesn't look jagged with apps, connects with Bluetooth and WiFi perfectly, simple to send files over Bluetooth, dual cameras that take good pictures, not camera quality, but there are actual digital cameras for that. Cons: None that spring to mind at the current moment. Other Thoughts: The only thing that my girlfriend complains about is the fact that none of the cases she has found are the 'cool' ones, the only one that she found that fits her standards was black and only allows the tablet to stand up horizontally, not vertically. Neither one of us really considers this a con because so long as there is one case and protects the tablet is all that matters. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

There are three different possible endings in Battlefield 4. Beware of SPOILERS for the last mission in Battlefield 4! To get the first ending, you have to choose to sacrifice Hannah. To get the second ending, choose to sacrifice Irish. For the third and final ending, just don't do anything and when enough time passes, the ending will happen. Getting all three endings is necessary for the "Patience is a virtue" achievement/trophy as well as the "For the cause" (Hannah's sacrifice), "For the people" (Irish's sacrifice), and the "For tombstone" (Valkyrie is destroyed -- the "do nothing" one) achievements/trophies. | ||

It's official: The Christmas holiday season is under way. Although many tried to push it forward, I don't think you can begin to celebrate Christmas until Santa Claus makes his way into New York's Herald Square during the big Thanksgiving parade.
There is an old hymn called "Count Your Blessings" that suggests if we count our blessings individually, we will be astonished how many we have been given. This is the season that we should be thankful for all of our blessings. The way I see it, if your day is spent on the green side of the grass, you have been blessed.
It didn't seem like a big deal when I was a kid. There would be some event around Veterans Day and they would ask all the veterans to stand. Nearly every man in the room would stand. It just seemed normal that everybody's dad had worn the uniform of our country.
I don't know if television has really given us more than a glance at the damage that occurred as a result of Superstorm Sandy. Every time I see a home that has been leveled or water flowing through places it isn't supposed to, I want to do something.
Krystal, the Chattanooga-based fast-food restaurant famous for its square hamburger, offered burgers recently for a quarter each.
Prior to this month, Cindy Williams had never set foot in Georgia, but she knows a thing or two about things Southern.
When I was 15, I decided I was a reporter. This was based on a couple of bylines in the local paper.
My parents were born into families that didn't own an automobile. My dad was just 4 when his father suddenly died. His most vivid remembrance of his dad's passing was getting to ride in a car for the first time.
I have interviewed my fair share of celebrities over the years, but never one nicer than Andy Williams.
My ears perked up when I heard that Dodge was bringing back the Dart, a model that was last around in 1976.
I remember that night in January 1991 when allied forces began bombing Iraq. CNN, which was the only cable news channel at the time, had correspondents in Baghdad and they had pictures of the missiles as they destroyed targets in Iraqi territory.
September used to mean something. Now, it seems relegated to being just another month on the calendar.
Back in the 1980s, cable TV started branching out into various specialty channels, offering 24 hours of news, sports and weather.
I am getting close to being a half-century away from my kindergarten days, but in some crazy way, I can still remember the songs and activities.
His name was General and he was a palomino horse. Not a pretty golden palomino like Trigger, Roy Rogers' famous horse, but a kind of dull shade of beige.
NEW YORK - If you're making a Christmas trip to the Big Apple, I hope you'll stop by and see Billy Crystal.
Some of the savviest advertisers know how to play on our emotions during the holidays.
This week, I am celebrating the 49th anniversary of the first time I wore a paper pilgrim hat and paper buckles on my shoes. I am pretty sure that was the same year I traced my hand to make a turkey.
The people who issue phone numbers say we have run out of numbers again.
I'm not sure how it happened, but many Americans don't know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Television now offers repeats of the same shows, sometimes in the same week. If that's not enough, service providers offer all sorts of repeat plays of everything from sporting events to sitcoms.
I remember seeing a man with a tattoo on his arm when I was about 7 or 8. The man was in a barber shop, where my dad and I were getting a haircut. I later asked him about the strange drawing on the man's arm.
If civility was a patient on a TV medical show, it would be on the operating room table with its chest open and a doctor trying to keep its failing heart beating.
The first aerosol air fresheners appeared in stores after World War II. The technology had been used first for spray insecticides during the war. Some bright individual came up with the idea that spraying a fragrant aroma in an indoor space would make things better.

How do cells and nature "compute"? They read and "rewrite" DNA all the time, by processes that modify sequence at the DNA or RNA level. My laboratory combines three approaches—comparative sequence analysis, functional experiments, and computational biology—to study early molecular evolution and the origin of biological information processing.
DNA sequence analysis provides us with insight into the mechanisms of selection and evolution at the level of the gene. The discovery of catalytic RNA, furthermore, has led to advances in the study of the origin of life, and suggests that there are other "molecular fossils," or primitive biological mechanisms, still present in modern species. Protozoa, in particular, have surprised molecular biologists with a bewildering diversity of gene organization, from "scrambled genes" in ciliates to bizarre forms of RNA processing, including splicing and editing. Therefore, they seem to be the natural place to look for primitive or aberrant systems.
