Catherine Acuff, PhD was a psychologist in independent practice, a faculty member of the University of Hartford, a long-time member of CPA, a leader within CPA- which included a term as president of the Association, a policy analyst, a candidate for president of the American Psychological Association, and so much more. She died at the young age of 51 years and is remembered by her CPA colleagues as a bright, passionate woman and a devoted advocate- "as strong an advocate as we've ever had"- for the profession of psychology, both here in Connecticut as well as on a national level.
In honor of her fierce spirit and advocacy for the profession, the Connecticut Psychological Foundation, supported by the generous donations of CPA member Debora Kustron, Psy.D., established two annual $500 awards in her name. The Catherine Acuff Awards are given to a psychologist and/or graduate student of psychology who demonstrates commitment, as did Catherine Acuff, to the application of psychological knowledge and expertise to the solution of larger societal problems.

First 'Smash Room' In Utah Lets Customers Smash Away Stress
Oct 19, 2018, 10:42 PM | Updated: Oct 22, 2018, 8:35 am
BY TANIA MASHBURN
AMERICAN FORK, Utah – It's a unique way to relieve stress and you could say it's all the "rage" across the country. Now, there's a new "rage room" in Utah County that's all in the name of fun and therapy.
Nate Stutz owns "Phat Axe" in American Fork. He opened his new smash room about a month ago, the first of its kind in Utah.
"I wanted to do a smash room because I wanted to do something different," said Stutz.
It's a place where you go to pulverize your problems. Basically, you smash a bunch of stuff to help you feel better.
There's a new smash room in Utah County that's all in the name of fun and therapy.
Participants put on protective clothing, gloves, a hard hat, and goggles before entering the smash room. They also get to choose between a baseball bat, a sledgehammer, a golf club, an axe handle or a crowbar for their weapon.
Finally, they decide what they're going to break – anything from glass bottles and plates, to old TVs and furniture. Then, they go to town.
The three customers we talked to had a great time.
"Every time the bottle would smash and you saw all the million pieces you're like, 'yeah, I did that!'" said Kaleigh Fox.
Participants say smashing things helps them relieve stress and get rid of some pent up anger.
"It brought out some aggression," said Gina Fondell. "Which I suppose is what it's for."
"Sometimes it's fun to be really aggressive and just smash something," said Will Marriott.
But is it really good for your mental health? An article in Psychology Today says no. It claims you are conditioning yourself to become aggressive the next time your anxiety levels rise.
Stutz disagrees.
"You come in here, you break things, you feel better," he said. "You leave happy and you think that was a good therapy session."
Even with differing opinions on how effective rage rooms are as anger management tools, there's no question in Stutz's mind, as long as his customers leave smiling, it's a smashing success.

My weekends have been very eventful lately and this weekend was no exception. With so many fun things going on it's tough to pick one aspect to highlight. This weekend, I pampered my mom and myself with a full day at the spa on Friday for an early Mother's Day present; then there was aerial yoga, a trip to the Drybar for a pre-festivities blowout, and a good friends little sisters college graduation party all on Saturday.
But Sunday took the cake with a fun filled day of family for Mother's Day! I love spending time with my family. I don't know about your family get togethers but ours last all day. From early afternoon starting with mimosas and appetizers, to dinner and dessert no one leaves until close to 8pm. It would seem like we never get to see each other but luckily that's not the case; we just love each others company!
I <3 my little cousin (well she's not so little anymore.) I have to say she is turing into quite the fashionista!! The outfit she wore today was so cute. I loved her shorts so much so that I am going to Forever 21 ASAP to pick up a pair for myself! I've decided to feature her on an upcoming blog post, so stay tuned. Here's a little preview of what you can expect!
What fun things did you do this weekend? Did you celebrate the mom's in your life or were you the recipient for Mothers Day?
Top: Black Halo, similar here. Necklace: Gifted Sears Fashion Jewelry, similar here. Belt: Sugarhill Boutique, similar here. Shorts: Gap, similar here. Shoes: Xhilaration, available here. Arm Party: Lucien Piccard diamond watch, similar here + mom's collection of vintage bracelets.

New appeal to Limerick people to stay at home to protect frontline workers
david.hurley@limerickleader.ie
The Department of Public Health Mid West says the vast majority of cases of Covid-19 in the region have been in Limerick
The Department of Public Health Mid-West is renewing its appeal to people in Limerick and across the region to help frontline workers by staying at home and strictly following all of the public health guidelines under the current Level 5 restrictions.
As of January 10, there have been 12,572 cases of Covid-19 recorded since the beginning of the pandemic in the Mid-West region.
An analysis of the figures shows that 7,040 have been recorded across the region since December 18, 2020. This compares to 5,532 confirmed cases between March 3 and December 18 - before the onset of the 'third wave'.
The Department of Public Health Mid-West says the figures are a clear indication of how rapid the spread of infection was in the lead up to Christmas, due to the consistent and multi-layered socialising by a proportion of the population before, during and after Christmas.
"We noted numerous outbreaks and clusters in various social settings, including private households, among extended families, large house gatherings, the hospitality sector, and in workplaces. Our preliminary evidence indicates that cases identified in social settings and in the community in December have been contributing factors in a number of outbreaks in long-term care facilities and healthcare settings," said Dr Mai Mannix, Director of Public Health Mid-West.
"We are now seeing the impact of this third wave in our community, as we focus our efforts on managing complex cases and outbreaks in nursing homes and residential care facilities across the region. Our focus right now is to break the chain of transmission so we can limit the spread among our most vulnerable population, and to prevent further loss of life in the coming weeks," she added.
The chief clinical officer at UHL says the UL Hospitals Group is likely to activate its surge plan in the coming days as the number of patients with Covid-19 continues to rise.
COVID-19 update in Mid-West region (January 10, 2021):
Limerick - 320 cases
Clare - 114 cases
North Tipperary - 63 cases pic.twitter.com/Exk4gLovQU
— Public Health Mid-West (@PublicHealthMW) January 12, 2021
Meanwhile, Dr Mannix says the next few weeks will be the greatest test since the start of the pandemic.
"We are now dependant on the people of Limerick, Clare, and North Tipperary to stay at home, limit your social contacts, and help us stop COVID's spread in the community, to allow our frontline workers look after Covid and non-Covid patients," Dr Mannix said.
Public Health Mid-West says it is also managing a number of new outbreaks in workplaces. While the vast majority of workplaces are adhering to strict guidelines, particularly in relation to engagement with the public, some workplaces are dropping the guard when it comes to staff contact.
"For example, we have seen some instances where staff are not wearing masks or are in close contact in break rooms. These practices should no longer happen, as they can and will lead to workplace outbreaks," said a spokesperson.

Rowland's Mills or Rowland Mills is an unincorporated community located on the western edge of Readington Township in Hunterdon County, New Jersey, United States. In 1760, a gristmill was erected at this site, followed by a sawmill around the time of the American Revolutionary War. A hamlet grew up around the mill complex in the early 19th century along the road connecting Flemington and Clinton. In 1838, Rynear Rowland (1798-1862), whom the village was later named after, purchased the mills. At its peak the settlement had a store, a blacksmith shop owned by Oliver Hart Ewing and numerous houses. In the later part of the 19th century the community diminished in size and was all but abandoned in the 1920s when the road through it was widened and designated as State Route 30, the predecessor of modern New Jersey Route 31.
The Norfolk Southern Railway's Lehigh Line (formerly the mainline of the Lehigh Valley Railroad), runs through the community.

Sana'a - "Every week dies one cholera case here, but no case has died ever since he [staff member] died," boss of a top cholera pediatrician told al-Ahed, confirming this medic was the last one to die until Thursday noon at al-Sabaeen Hospital.
Cholera, as defined by the World Health Organization, is an acute diarrheal disease that can kill within hours if left untreated.
The global threat is an infection is caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholera.
Mohammad Abdul-Mughni, a pediatrician dedicated himself to treat Cholera suspected cases since 2017 who saved hundreds of lives, passed away on March 28 as a result of the same disease that is surging once rapidly in the war-ravaged Yemen.
"He was one of finest 'medic' here," says a soldier, who asked to be anonymous at the gate of Cholera Center of al-Sabaeen Hospital, pointing out he has been working in this center just one week before the pediatrician died.
Hospital staff and UN groups working in Yemen grieved his tragic death. The International Committee of the Red Cross [ICRC], on its official Twitter account, expressed sadness over losing this "veteran pediatrician", as labeled by former Communication Officer for WHO in Yemen, Sadeq al-Wesabi.
This grieve comes amid increase lack of health staff in a country its public servant have been paid since the outbreak of Cholera in 2016, but sporadically payments from Sana'a and UN groups incentives.
Adel al-Elmani, head of the cholera treatment center at al-Sabaeen Hospital, told al-Ahed -while standing at the courtyard of his center where 5 tents were set to treat patients, with three filled with sleeping infected cases- that he has been working together with Abdul-Mughni for the past three years now.
"Abdul-Mughni refused full 'hospitalization' for five days, with only three sporadic visits for getting solutions as his infection was badly serious; then he died," Abdul-Mughni said, denying his staff died as a result of medical negligence.
MSF said, on March 26, two days before Abdul-Mughni died, it is scaling up its response for new cases of Cholera increase in Amran, Hajjah, Ibb and Taiz governorates, located in the north and central of Yemen.
"Humanitarian assistance, particularly water and sanitation activities, need to be increased to prevent cholera from spreading across the country," MSF wrote on its website.
UN figures consider Cholera as endemic in Yemen after its first breakout in Yemen in 2016. "The increase in cases [this year] is concerning, as the rainy season – which could aggravate the overall situation – has not even started yet," said Hassan Boucenine, MSF head of mission in Yemen on his organization website.
While UN groups say it is usually for cholera to be treated if caught early, as AP cited, but it can kill swiftly by dehydrating its victims through vomiting and severe diarrhea.
Al-Elmani, confirmed to al-Ahed that "Cholera this year is worse than in 2017, the disease now is difficult to be treatable" he said on sideline of speaking at the center courtyard on how the center failed to treat one of his staff.
Sitting at the courtyard, and while MSF is scaling up its response for new suspected cases of Cholera in Ibb governorate, at al-Sabaeen Hospital, a 24-year-old father originally from Ibb, living in Sana'a was treating his 3-year-old boy from Cholera at the Cholera Center where Abdul-Mughni used to work.
Essam Zayed, the 24-year-old was sitting with his 3-year-old, Assem, at his lap in the gate of one of courtyard tent. This tent is a few steps from the entrance of the center building, where Abdul-Mughni's image taped at its gate; but there was no room for Assem inside it as the rooms inside are booked just for cholera-positive cases.
Medics at the center were busy treating suspected cases. Assem was sleeping as the inserted drip into his arm and the hanging bag of life-saving fluids was ongoing.
Medics then, demanded al-Ahed reporter to show his accreditations, making hard to inquire more information about this father.
Assem was among 215 cholera suspected cases that have been admitted to the cholera treatment center at Al Sabaeen between early morning hours to before we left that center Thursday at noon.
"Among them children, women, and elderly men," al-Elmani confirmed to our website.
Back in March, MSF said that its health facilities in four provinces have admitted 7,938 suspected cholera cases between January 1st and March 26th this year, 50% of them coming from Assem's Ibb governorate, in the country's southwest.

On Thursday, Equifax Inc. announced a cybersecurity incident could affect nearly 143 million U.S. consumers.
In a news release, the company said criminals exploited their website to gain access to certain files, including, includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver's license numbers.
In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 users were obtained and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 consumers were accessed.
Based on the company's investigation, the unauthorized access occurred from mid-May through July 2017.
The company has found no evidence of unauthorized activity on Equifax's core consumer or commercial credit reporting databases.
"This is clearly a disappointing event for our company and one that strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do. I apologize to consumers and our business customers for the concern and frustration this causes," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard F. Smith said in a statement.

Pseudoclamoris gigas (Syn.: Tapinauchenius gigas) ist eine baumbewohnende Vogelspinnenart, die 1913 in Saint-Jean-du-Maroni, Guyana entdeckt wurde. Das Weibchen wurde bereits 1954 von Lodovico di Caporiacco beschrieben. Das Männchen dieser Art wurde erst 40 Jahre später von Günter Schmidt beschrieben. Pseudoclamoris gigas ist eine der häufiger in Terrarien gehaltenen Vogelspinnenarten.

Merkmale
Der Holotyp ist 4,6 Zentimeter lang (von den Beißklauen bis zu den Spinnwarzen gemessen). Der Carapax misst 1,9 Zentimeter und ist rotbraun gefärbt. Die Beißklauen sind dunkel gefärbt. Die Haare an Labium und Maxillen sind rot. Das Sternum und die Coxae der Taster und der vorderen beiden Laufbeine sind schwarzbraun gefärbt. Die Coxae der hinteren beiden Laufbeine sind braungelb behaart. Die Tarsen der Taster sind rotbraun und die Haftpolster braungelb gefärbt. Der Hinterleib hat eine gelbbraune Farbe.

Die Nymphen sind orange gefärbt und haben eine tannenbaumförmige Musterung auf ihrem Opisthosoma. Sie unterscheiden sich in der Farbe damit deutlich von den blaugrauen Nymphen der verwandten Pseudoclamoris elenae. Ab der fünften Fresshaut gleichen sich beide Arten äußerlich und können im Erwachsenenstadium von der Färbung nicht mehr unterschieden werden.

Verhalten
Die Verpaarung verläuft meistens friedlich. Das Weibchen kann bereits eine Woche später einen Kokon produzieren, der die Größe eines Tischtennisballs annehmen kann. Darin befinden sich 100 bis 400 Eier. Manchmal befestigt das Weibchen den Kokon an einem Faden und hängt ihn an einer Wand in seiner Wohnröhre auf. Die geschlüpften Larven werden von der Mutter versorgt. Sehr wahrscheinlich können sie sich bei ihrer Beute mitverpflegen. Es wurde schon beobachtet, dass die Mutter die Larven mit wenig Spinnseide überzieht, um sie sehr wahrscheinlich vor dem Herabfallen zu schützen. Jungtiere, die bei der Mutter belassen werden, werden in Gefangenschaft größer, als wenn sie separat aufgezogen werden. Ähnlich wie bei einigen Psalmopoeus-Arten bauen Weibchen häufig ohne erneute Paarung bei genügend Nahrungsangebot einen zweiten Kokon, der aber etwa zwanzig Eier weniger beinhaltet als der erste.

Bei Störung flüchten die Tiere möglichst schnell in ihre Wohnröhre oder in einen näher gelegenen Unterschlupf. In der Gefangenschaft wurde einige Male beobachtet, dass sich einige Tiere auch in das mit Wasser gefüllte Trinkgefäß zurückzogen und bis zu fünf Minuten komplett untertauchten.

Technology news for Australia's largest enterprises
A new Hybrid IT worldview explained by HPE
We are moving rapidly into a world where everything computes. Cars that do the driving for us. The connected devices in our homes, and in our pockets. All the sensors being deployed in the service of getting the job done in just about every industry and every business.
All those silicon-based smarts connected to all those sensors are generating massive amounts of data. Data is fast becoming the new oil fueling the digital economy.
And if data is the fuel, applications are the engines – consuming the data, making sense of it, and putting it to work. Applications might show up in the consumer world as a mobile device pushing out an ad at the right time in the right locale. In a commercial setting, it might be a set of applications analyzing data across an organization's entire global footprint and value chain.
In a world where everything computes, developing and deploying applications is increasingly how every organization – big and small – interacts with its audiences, be it employees, customers, or other constituents. It is by leveraging applications that the best businesses are being transformed. Conversely, those that lack the expertise to develop and deploy applications quickly are being left behind.
This, of course, has not gone unnoticed by organizations across all industries. What our customers want more than anything is a simple and consistent IT experience to run more applications on flexible infrastructure to accommodate their evolving business needs.
So how do businesses get the flexibility they need from IT? How do they seamlessly transform their IT organizations so that they can develop the applications that will transform lines of business, create new revenue streams, and offer more value to their customers?
Hybrid IT is not an exotic technological journey, it's simply how business works today.
If you spend a lot of time in certain cloud-filled circles, you may get the sense that a grudge match exists between public and private cloud factions and that you had better take sides.
The advice many CIOs were getting – and still are – was they had better hitch their company to as many public cloud services as fast as they could. Some did, and what became evident fairly quickly, for even the most enthusiastic public cloud believers, was that life in the public cloud wasn't perfect.
The public cloud can be slow and lack the performance you might need. Service level agreements may not meet your business standards. We've all witnessed the public cloud outages that have brought down popular consumer and enterprise services and forced some IT shops to move applications around based upon existing service agreements.
Storage costs can add up significantly. And if your competition is also your cloud provider, you could be giving them a vantage point on your intellectual property you don't want them to have.
Others have preached the virtues of private cloud, hyperconverged systems, and traditional IT. But they too have their advantages and disadvantages when it comes to cost and scale. The point is, this idea that you are either "off-prem" or "on-prem," a believer or a heretic, is nonsense.
When it comes to IT, you need the right mix for your business.
Whether you're running a company, a university, or a non-profit, chances are your organization straddles across many variations of traditional IT and both cloud worlds, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. What you want, in that case, is the "non-denominational" Hybrid IT approach that can be managed seamlessly.
For most companies, data sits in a combination of locations– private cloud, public cloud, and at the edges where data is being gathered. Gartner estimates that 70 to 80 percent of today's corporate data is locked up in traditional applications environments. By 2020, Gartner also predicts that 75 percent of that data will need to move to cloud-native applications.
The challenge for every organization is finding the right mix at the right scale, speed, and cost, which is the exact purpose of Hybrid IT.
Deploying a Hybrid IT strategy gives you the right solutions at the scale, speed, and cost that's right for your business.
Hybrid IT is not a steady state. If you picture your mix of data and application types as virtual dials, every organization needs to get comfortable turning those dials up and down to accommodate different needs and different attributes required by any given instance.
For example, say you want the fastest performing application with the lowest possible latency. You're probably going to want to develop that application internally and deploy it internally to minimize latency. In this case, private cloud is your best bet.
Say you're developing and testing a new application, but you are not sure that it is going to light the world on fire –and latency isn't an issue. In this case, you can develop, deploy, and test it in the public cloud with minimal risk.
And what about all those traditional applications that keep your business running? Hybrid IT strategy can help you modernize operations and reduce costs to make more room for new applications that can drive revenue. No one wants to come up with an entirely new set of databases, or a new way of closing the books, they just want to modernize to take cost out and move to a more efficient operational model. The goal is to make more time to work on new applications that can drive revenue. The right Hybrid IT approach can do that too.

Houston Unemployment Rate Now At 8.6 Percent
By Laura Fishman on December 21, 2010 12:08 PM | No TrackBacks
The unemployment rate in the Houston area rose to 8.6 percent in November 2010 after holding a steady unemployment rate of 8.2 percent for the prior two months. Yet the Houston Business Journal reports that the Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown metropolitan area is continuing to add jobs around the holiday season.
The Business Journal cited a report released by the Texas Workforce Commission, which stated that there were about 10,900 non-agricultural jobs added to the Houston area last month. Most of these new jobs were in the trade, transportation and utilities sector. Unfortunately, the thousands of new jobs in the metropolitan area were outweighed by 11,700 people in Houston that joined the ranks of unemployment last month.

TWC Encourages Equal Employment Opportunity Training
By Laura Fishman on December 20, 2010 1:02 PM | No TrackBacks
Houston employers that are looking to avoid discrimination and harassment lawsuits may want to look into Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) training that is provided by the state of Texas. The Civil Rights Division of the Texas Workforce Commission writes that they offer a variety of comprehensive EEO training programs.
The purpose of the training programs is to provide supervisors and managers of companies with an understanding of EEO. The EEO training programs cover legal issues, including guidelines for hiring, administering evaluations, disciplinary action, terminations and layoffs. The Civil Rights Division offers the EEO training at the requestors site at a minimum cost. The length of the training varies, but is usually from four to eight hours depending on the program.

Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed Against Cheesecake Factory
A former employee of the Cheesecake Factory restaurant in Brandon, Florida claims that he was a victim of sexual harassment while working as a line chef for the company and is now taking legal action over the matter. The 42-year-old man has filed a federal lawsuit against the restaurant chain and is seeking compensation for "mental anguish and loss of dignity," as stated by Brandon News and Tribune.
The plaintiff Michael Knight claims that other line chefs in the Cheesecake Factory continually grabbed each others' buttocks and genitalia and simulated sexual intercourse in front of him. He says that he was mocked, punished, and later terminated from his position after expressing discomfort with such behavior.

Discrimination Suit Against FMC Technologies Results With Hung Jury
By Laura Fishman on December 15, 2010 11:55 AM | No TrackBacks
Past and present employees of the company FMC Technologies claim that they were subjected to racial discrimination on the job and decided to file a lawsuit against the company that asked for $120 million in damages. KHOU News reports that plaintiffs in the case included seven African-American employees that said they were victims of extreme forms of racial harassment.
During one instance, employees said that they found two nooses hanging from the company's shipping dock. Racist name-calling, KKK symbols, confederate flags and swastikas were allegedly in the workplace as well. Employees stated that a lawsuit was filed after FMC Technologies failed to take appropriate action.

ACE American Accused of Wrongfully Denying Workers' Comp Claims
Did ACE American Insurance Co. improperly deny claims in some Texas workers' compensation cases?

High Unemployment Rate For College Graduates
The unemployment rate for Americans with at least a bachelor's degree rose to 5.1 percent last month, which USA Today reports as the highest unemployment rate among college grads since the year 1970. The national unemployment rate also rose to 9.8 percent from 9.6 percent last month.
A high unemployment rate among college graduates could be problematic around the country and in the state of Texas, because students often graduate from college with loans. Not being able to pay off student loans or other bills could drive some individuals into debt. Economists now know that times are tough when the college unemployment rate is at a 40 year low.

Hotel Employee Claims Retaliation After Filing EEOC Complaint
By Laura Fishman on December 9, 2010 12:05 PM | No TrackBacks
Mark Reed claims that he worked as a maintenance employee with La Quinta Inns & Suites Inc. for 11 years, but the man is now suing his employer claiming that he was subjected to a hostile work environment and retaliation because of his disability.
The Southeast Record reports that Mark Reed is disabled and suffers from a deformity of his left arm and left hand. The employee claimed that he was called derogatory names such as "short-handed" while working with La Quinta and felt humiliated because of his disability. After filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the man claimed that he was retaliated against by having his workload increased and having his overtime opportunities reduced.

Sexual Harassment Claims In Williamson County
Two former female employees of Williamson County that worked under now-retired County Court-at-Law Judge Don Higginbotham claim that they were victims of sexual harassment when working with the judge. The Austin American-Statesman reported that the two women have filed a complaint with the Texas Workforce Commission and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and that the former employees are now suing for damages.
In this case, the plaintiffs are former court reporter Kimberly Lee and former court secretary Sharon McGuyer. On one occasion, Don Higginbotham allegedly told one of the plaintiffs to "come here, that he needed help going to the bathroom because it was too heavy for him to hold it up," according to the lawsuit. The judge also allegedly uttered profanity and other sexual comments.

Millions of People to Lose Unemployment Benefits This Month
Nearly two million people across the country will no longer be receiving unemployment benefits this month, as Congress voted not to renew extended jobless benefits by November 30. Unless Congress changes its mind, MSNBC reports that benefits that had been extended up to 99 weeks will end.
People that are jobless will still be able to collect benefits, but compensation will expire after just six months of unemployment. This puts millions of unemployed individuals in a financially unstable position right before the holiday season.

Frito Lay Employee Files Age Discrimination Suit
Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), it's illegal for an employer to discriminate against employees and applicants who are 40 years of age or older based on their age. One 52-year-old employee at Frito Lay is filing an age discrimination suit against the company, alleging violations of ADEA.
The Southeast Texas Record reports that the employee Ismail B. Dhanani was a temporary worker with Frito Lay in Sherman and that he had expressed interest in obtaining a permanent position with Frito Lay on several occasions. Ismail B. Dhanani claimed that his supervisor stated that the permanent accounting positions required a Certified Public Accountant qualification. However, the employee argues that the company hired a 23-year-old female for the position who was not a CPA.

States Unveil Planning Reforms
The New South Wales Government has finally come out with an announcement to reform residential developments across the state, pleasing homeowners, developers, builders and local governments.
On 27 November 2007, a discussion paper was issued by Planning Minister Frank Sartor. The report was to announce the improving the NSW Planning System, outlining the major reforms.
According to the NSW department of Planning, the discussion paper proposes at least 90 recommendations to improve the planning system, including:
* The Planning Minister's oversight will be reduced in the case of development proposals; the use of assessment panels will be increased;
* With respect to the size and complexity of proposals, the new plan will allow adaptation of the development application assessment process including local plan making systems
* Increase the number of developments approved under compliance certificates;
* Proposes to reduce the processing times of development applications and local plans;
* Shortens the time for approval of small scale development, such as home renovations, to within ten days if the new NSW standards are complied with;
* The oversight of the building certification system will be improved;
* Online planning information and support will be increased;
* and
* Miscellaneous recommendations in areas such as strata management, paper subdivisions and dispute resolution.
* Red tape will be reduced, avoiding council bureaucracy.
Major reforms are planned with regard to cutting red tape in the lengthy development approval processes; the number of developments subject to certifier approval will be expanded.
Building codes will be standardised to apply across council boundaries; "planning arbitrators" will be appointed to help manage and administer the development applications more effectively.
Stakeholders and members can comment on the NSW paper until February 8 2008.
For more information visit http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/.
Queensland's Reform Package
The report issued by the NSW follows both Victoria's and Queensland's recent announcements to modernise their planning and development systems.
In September 2007, the Queensland Government released a report that called "Planning for a Prosperous Queensland a reform agenda for planning and development in the Smart State". Set to become operational in late 2008, the report made 80 recommendations of reform to planning legislation.
The intent of the reform is to "move the focus from the planning process to the delivery of sustainable outcomes" the Queensland Government said. These goals will be delivered by:
* new planning legislation implementing improved tools for State and local government to proactively manage planning and development
* reduced complexity of planning policy through greater standardisation
* adoption a "risk-based" approach to development assessment
* streamlined dispute resolution processes
* encouraging active community participation in the planning and development assessment system.
For more information visit http://www.lgp.qld.gov.au/
Victoria's Plan
Victoria was next to release its reform proposals, with the release of the "Making Local Policy Stronger" report, and the Government's "five–point priority action plan" initiated in October 2007.
"This report sets out some of the most important planning reforms in recent years, particularly its recommendation to review residential zones so that they can more clearly reflect state and local policy outcomes," Victoria Planning Minister Justin Madden said. "Victoria already has a very good planning system, but these new reforms will make a big difference to councils, giving them the tools they need to manage development and change in their municipalities."
According to Mr Madden, the Making Local Policy Stronger report's five key recommendations were to:
* Provide more certainty for councils by making it easier and more efficient to implement policy through planning controls;
* Making the State Planning Policy policies clearer about how they should be implemented at the local level;
* Reviewing planning schemes on a regular basis to ensure they accurately express state and local strategic intentions;
* Increasing the effectiveness of local policy by simplifying the way it is presented in planning schemes; and
* Making policy clear as to when prescriptive provisions can be used;

Making sure you create the best dating profile is important to finding and hooking up with several different women. While dating profiles can be time consuming, the good thing about them is that if you make a good one, it betters your chances of picking up women almost instantly.
Hundreds of men sign up for dating profiles and end up writing only the minimum amount of words required to make their accounts active. Usually, this involves writing a couple of sentences for each section of your dating profile. We know that some of you do not feel like filling out section after section with no guarantee that women will even be interested in you, but it is a bad move to not take your dating profile seriously. Most men go to a woman's dating profile, look at her photos, and then they may skim over what she has written in her profile. Women do the opposite. While she may initially look at your photos, she will move on to read what you have written in your profile. Even if she doesn't find you particularly good looking, if she feels like the two of you will be compatible after reading your profile, she will be interested in you, even if you aren't the best looking guy in the world.
When you're filling out your dating profile, make sure to take your time on each section. You don't have to tell your entire life story, but you do want to tell her enough about you that she finds you intriguing and wants to know more. Make sure you are properly spacing your paragraphs and not leaving just one large block of hard to read text. Your profile is your opportunity to let your sense of humor shine through, so don't pretend to be someone you aren't unless you can carry out that persona when you meet up with someone.
While you may think those shirtless photos are going to reel her in, many times they have the opposite effect. Women do appreciate a nice body, but most of them prefer an attractive personality. You should post photos that have a bit of character to them. For instance, if you're certain that your body is going to win you some plus points, instead of posting a bathroom mirror selfie, try posting a photo of you shirtless at the beach, or one with you at the gym. These photos should be candid in appearance. If possible, have someone take them for you and do not stare directly into the camera. This will show her that you have a nice body, but that you're not bragging about how nice your body is.
When it comes to creating the best dating profile, think of it as going out and trying to meet women. You wouldn't want to say or do anything to embarrass you, just like you shouldn't want to embarrass yourself online. First impressions matters, even if they're over the Internet.

ENJOY THE VIEW! No Neighbours behind! This is a beautiful water-view property in Blackfalds. The lot has some slope, allowing for a walk-out basement. Located on Paramount Crescent - amongst the other upscale neighbourhood homes. Immediate possession available - start building your dream home right away!


Nintendo has yet to confirm the exact release window for its upcoming DS epic The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks but that hasn't stopped online retail giant Amazon from picking the date anyway.
The important day for UK gamers is 4th December, with Amazon selling Link's latest caper for £24.95 (down from a RRP of £39.99).
Amazon has done this kind of thing in the past and been wrong, but they've also been right a few times, too. Needless to say, when clarification appears, you'll be the first to know.
What about our US release!, This is the only thing that will hold me until The Legend of Zelda next year!
Don't worry. North America will most probably get it earlier than we do. And if not: 90% of European releases (except a few like Pokémon) have 5 languages including English so you could import it anyway But like I said. I'm pretty sure NA will get it first.
And here's me going off the latest information from my local games shop that says "24th September 2010"!
4th December is very late in the game for a release, though... if it has to be put back for any reason I can guarantee it'll go post-Christmas. I'm keeping my fingers permanently crossed from today.
Your new avatar is extremely disturbing, James.
Imagine my face when I see it in the morning every day. It's a lot like that photo, actually: an infinite loop of terror.
"(down from a RRP of £39.99)"
£40 for a DS game?! Surely no retailer would actually charge that!
Sweet! can't come soon enough for me (but I'm not complaining). These N games are always worth the wait as the big system sellers that they are. I, too love all the cartoon Zelda games, in fact that reminds me that I should go back and do Windwaker sometime, it was such a welcome new style to the Zelda series that sorely needed a new direction. I hope the next Wii iteration gets an injection of something a little different too.
Not that it does me any good, considering I'm in Australia and not the UK. Hm.
This is also the same company that says Sam & Max Beyond Time & Space for Wii is out now in the UK, only they're "temporarily out of stock". Take with a pinch of salt or 20 methinks.
Enjoyed Phantom Hourglass, no reason this should not be good!
Really excited for this one. Hope it comes to America soon. Phantom Hourglass is tied with Chrono Trigger for my favorite DS game and this one looks very similar to Hourglass so this should be great also.
I saw this coming from miles away. "Holiday" usually means late November or early December for America.

February 2016 – upcoming gigs – from electro-salsa sizzle to cinema cello to sorry sighs with Daylight Music (Arcadio, Michael Price & Peter Gregson, Dakota Suite & Quentin Sirjacq); Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Luminous Bodies, Casual Sect and Girl Sweat glisten in Hackney; LUME give us improvising strings, Fauré jazz and a female bandleader summit (Njanas, Percy Pursglove's Far Reaching Dreams Trio, En Bas Quartet)
More assorted crossovers and team-ups via Daylight Music…
Daylight Music 214: Arcadio + Michael Price & Peter Gregson + Dakota Suite & Quentin Sirjacq
Union Chapel, Compton Terrace, Islington, London, N1 2UN, England
Saturday 6th February 2016, 12.00pm – free/pay-what-you-like event – more information
"Arcadio brings together London's finest improvisers and percussionists to create a nomadic exploration of rhythm and movement. Led by composer Andrew Hall (also known as trumpeter for the vLookup Trio and Mak Murtic's Balkan folk-futurist ensemble Mimika), Arcadio also features double bass player J.J. Stillwell, soundmangler Phil Maguire, woodwinder Rob Milne, multi-instrumentalist Ben Zucker, vLookup drummer Tom Atherton and several Mimika members (saxophonists Mak Murtic, Seb Silas and John Macnaughton; percussionist Paul Love). The band defines itself as the point where "electro-salsa meets free improvisation." This will be their debut gig.
Michael Price is one of the UK's most sought after composers and arrangers. His work for film and television includes 'Sherlock' and 'Jekyll & Hyde' (both of which he co-scores with David Arnold), 'Unforgotten', 'Hot Fuzz', 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy', 'Casino Royale' and 'Quantum of Solace'. Michael's first film experience was as musical assistant, co-producer and arranger to the late Michael Kamen, with whom he collaborated for five years, working on a number of exciting projects including 'X-Men', 'Band of Brothers', "The Iron Giant', and 'Metallica – S&M'. Having begun his career as a pianist and composer for contemporary dance, he has now established the Michael Price Trio and Ensemble to perform his own work in diverse venues across the world. His critically acclaimed debut album 'Entanglement' (on Erased Tapes Records, released in April 2015) was described as "gorgeous" by Rolling Stone.
On this occasion, Michael will be performing with New Music cellist and composer Peter Gregson, who has recently premiered works by composers including Daníel Bjarnason, Max Richter, Jóhann Jóhannsson and Steve Reich.
Now approaching its twentieth anniversary, Dakota Suite is not so much a band, more the brainchild of Chris Hooson. While holding down a full-time job as a social worker in Leeds, Chris produces affecting sadcore music under the Dakota Suite monicker, usually working in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist David Buxton, but sometimes with Italian ambient composer Emanuele Errante and American composer-cellist David Darling.
Since 2009, another regular Dakota Suite collaborator has been Parisian composer and pianist Quentin Sirjacq – improviser, New Music performer and composer of music for film, theater and radio. A musician who has performed as part of rock groups, big bands, symphony orchestras and avant-garde ensembles, Quentin has also worked Fred Frith, whose music he has performed (alongside that of James Tenney and Frederic Rzewski and José Maceda) as part of his continuing explorations of the avant-garde and its relationship with older traditions. Quentin's other recent collaborations have included work with Akira Kosemura and Shin Kikuchi, leading to releases on the Japanese label Schole Records.
Current collective Dakota Suite/Sirjacq plans include an upcoming studio record featuring the Hooson/Buxton/Sirjacq trio and the release of a live album featuring the Hooson/Sirjacq duo, some of which may be touched on at this gig."
I'm not sure whether I'll be covering as much garage rock this year as I did last year. I find that a little of it goes a long way without generating much to write about, unless you start reviewing the audience or pulling in some other contextual hobby-horses. That said, I do like what Baba Yaga's Hut do, and part of what they do includes this noisy sweatbox of a show coming up at the weekend:
Baba Yaga's Hut presents:
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs + Luminous Bodies + Casual Sect + Girl Sweat
The Victoria, 451 Queensbridge Road, Hackney, London, E8 3AS, England
Saturday February 6th 2016, 8.00pm – more information
Heavy-motorik Tynesiders Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are pretty brutal. That psychotic iteration-stutter of a name gives it all away before you even get to the music. I dropped a few chromosomes just by listening to them. Imagine the tangled ball-web of a lurking cellar spider: imagine Hawkwind being carjacked halfway down Ladbroke Grove, the steering wheel dragged out of Dave Brock's hands. Expect a dystopian thrum of attenuated gutter grooves, early Ubu synth sousings and righteously pissed-off howls from singer Matt Baty, plus tossing, turning rhythm and cymbal work from the band's drummer Ewan MacKenzie, who adds a powerful synaptic crackle to the whole business. Here's twelve-and-a-half minutes of them…
Regarding the support bands… Luminous Bodies lurched up from the underground back in December, when they were seen supporting Rocket From The Tombs in London. For those of you who don't remember that particular occasion, they're a noise-rock supergroup, a gang of self-proclaimed knuckle-draggers pounded together like clumps of dirty wet clay, sharing players with bands including Ikara Colt, Part Chimp and Terminal Cheesecake. Casual Sect began knocking out their ratchety noisepunk (part conspiracy paranoia, part wink-to-camera) across a set of demos and gigs last year. Girl Sweat is less familiar to me: a one-man show of soiled electro-pop exotica and psychedelic fringe from Stockton-on-Tees, where the smog chews at the fake leather in the pub furnishings.
There are two more upcoming jazz'n'improv gigs from the LUME organisation:
LUME presents:
Njanas + Far Reaching Dreams Trio
The Vortex Jazz Club, 11 Gillett Square, Dalston, London, N16 8AZ, England
Sunday 7th February 2016, 7.30pm< – more information here and here
Njanas is a brand new project consisting of four female musician/composers – Laura Cole (piano), Filomena Campus (vocals), Tori Handsley (harp) and Ruth Goller (bass) – who are all band leaders in their own right. The ensemble, which celebrates women's art and music, started more than a year ago.
Njanas state "we often feel under-represented as women in the worlds of jazz and art, and in this project all compositions are inspired by a female artist (such as Frida Kahlo, Niki de Saint Phalle, Gertrude Stein, Franca Rame and many more) or written by a female composer. The name Njanas is an encounter between the gigantic sculptures called 'Nanas', created by painter and sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle, and 'Janas', ancient legendary female figures and fairies/witches that relate to the myth of the Sardinian Goddess-Mother."
Following the critically-acclaimed success of his ambitious nine-part jazz suite 'Far Reaching Dreams Of Mortal Souls', multi-instrumentalist and composer Percy Pursglove now debuts the music as re-interpreted by his fascinating new Far Reaching Dreams Trio, featuring himself on trumpet, Paul Clarvis on drums and Ivo Neame on piano and accordion.
Percy composed the original suite during 2013 and 2014, working with the support of a Jazzlines Fellowship. The multi-lingual piece (including sung texts referring to Anne Frank, Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, Malala Yousafzai, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei, Benjamin Franklin and Joan of Arc) was originally arranged for a nine-piece ensemble, conductor and eight-piece choir for its October 2014 premiere. Percy describes 'Far Reaching Dreams Of Mortal Souls' as "a project that has been in the back of my mind for a few years now. I had some wonderful experiences singing in choirs at an early age and the sound of and purity of massed voices has always drawn my ear. I wanted to find a way to access that broad spectrum of possible textures that Gabriel Faure had introduced me to all those years ago, but within a chamber ensemble setting that has the scope to offer another layer of unforeseen spontaneity."
En Bas Quartet
London Review Bookshop, 14 Bury Place, Bloomsbury, London, WC1A 2JL, England
Thursday 18th February 2016, 7.00pm – more information
En Bas Quartet are string-section improvisers. In order of rising pitch, they are Seth Bennett (double bass and group leader), Alice Eldridge (cello), Benedict Taylor (viola) and Aby Vulliamy (viola).
Seth comments "I'd long been interested in contemporary chamber music, and wanted to investigate that aesthetic in an improvised context. A 'low' quartet also allows me to join in – the bass part in a quartet is usually taken by the cello – and write music for a chamber ensemble, with all the interaction and rhythmic subtlety they use. I find the parallel between a small jazz ensemble and a string quartet very interesting; both groups will stretch time, allow the music to breathe and pause, and find a way to play as a single unit. I chose three of the best string improvisers in the country to form the rest of the ensemble, and was lucky enough that they all agreed to take part in the project."
Here's what they do:
According to LUME, at this gig the Quartet "will be playing Seth's quartet for improvising low strings, based on the Northumberland folk song tune Sair Fyeld Hinny, and exploring various settings and provocations for group and solo improvisation. Inspired by the quartets of Shostakovich, Beethoven and Bartok, as well as more contemporary jazz ensembles like Arcado String Trio, the Masada string trio and contemporary British free improvisation, En Bas Quartet weave their disparate influences into a compelling whole."
More gig news shortly – Teeth Of The Sea, an evening of Bad Elephant Music, and much more (including plenty of folk-baroque guitar).

Please note: We will still offer shotgun tournaments with less than the minimum number of players, but the golf course reserves the right to fill the course with open play. We do not allow shotgun tournaments on holidays.
Groups will be assigned a tee time off of the 1st or 10th tee.
