After a slew of traffic-heavy evenings at the Tracy Emin curated “Summer Exhibition 2008” at the Royal Academy of Art, it was on an uneventful Saturday afternoon that a visitor knocked over “Christina”, a 9 ft tall sculpture by Costa Rican artist, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez. Though the piece wasn’t of major magnitude in cost and is valued at $12K it was described by Tracey Emin as the star of the show.

The staff had been vigilant about the safety of the five totems, but that apparently was not enough. Some patrons thought the loud crash and scattering pieces were actually part of the show. The event was reportedly an accident, and occurred when a visitor lost her balance, sending the piece crashing to the ground. The gallery closed for a few hours, and eventually reached the decision that a barrier would be erected around the four remaining sculptures. Both the artist and Tracey Emin have declined to comment.

“The Royal Academy recognized the vulnerability of these works, and much consultation took place as to how to best protect them,” the Royal Academy said in a statement. “The barriers were arrived at as the best option. Summer Exhibition 2008 has got through its busiest period including many lively evening events where we were most concerned about the work, and it is disappointing that this has happened on a quiet Saturday afternoon.”

HARRISBURG AREA COMMUNITY COLLEGE OFFERS NEW PATHWAYS FOR LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSES
US Fed News Service, Including US State News March 29, 2011 HARRISBURG, Pa., March 28 — Harrisburg Area Community College issued the following news release:
Licensed practical nurses looking to upgrade their skills can take advantage of LPN New Pathways starting in May at HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College.
The course responds to the professional needs of many LPNs who are finding that changes in the healthcare industry require them to obtain jobs in settings other than the acute care hospitals, said Brenda Aikey Trotta, coordinator of healthcare education, noncredit programs.
“As hospitals make changes in their nursing staff, there are many alternative places that would love to have skilled LPNs,” Aikey Trotta said. “The LPN New Pathways can prepare LPNs for other venues.” She added, “Thanks to scholarships from Highmark Blue Shield, the training comes at an affordable cost to qualified students.” Highmark Blue Shield has partnered with HACC to provide scholarships that cover about half of the $950 cost of the month-long program. Highmark also has made scholarships available for HACC’s RN/LPN Re-entry program. The program is for registered nurses and LPNs who would like to re-activate their license or refresh their skills after taking an absence from the nursing profession. website highmark blue shield
Opportunities exist at long-term care facilities, in assisted living, assisted care, home health and private physicians offices for LPNs with a hybrid of skills.
LPNs enrolled in New Pathways will complete 40 hours of classroom instruction and 96 hours of clinical experience, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday, May 2-27, at the HACC-Harrisburg Campus, One HACC Drive. Textbooks are an additional cost. in our site highmark blue shield
Students will be expected to have an active LPN license, current CPR documentation, a physical, an immunization history, a tuberculin sensitivity test (two-step PPD, purified protein derivative, test), a Pennsylvania State Police criminal background check, malpractice insurance and current health insurance coverage.
