Hospital CEO, Chef: Serving Food To Nurture Patients, Business, Planet
Santana Diaz, executive chef at UC Davis Health UC Davis Health For many people who have experienced a hospital stay, the dining experience is typically something to endure rather than enjoy. “The typical food served to patients has a deservedly bad reputation for taste and waste,” says David Lubarsky, MD, president and CEO of Westchester Medical Center Health Network. During his tenure as chief executive of U.C. Davis Health from 2018 to 2025, Dr. Lubarsky tried to change that.

Australian MPs walk a difficult line on Israel-Hamas conflict
Mon Nov 6 Written by Andy Marks, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Strategy, Government and Alliances, Western Sydney University The failure of the Voice referendum appeared to confirm Australians broadly reject propositions they believe to be characterised by divisiveness. There are few geopolitical circumstances more polarising than the drastic flaring of conflict between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza. These moments resist the fast rhythm of modern political rhetoric.

After 12 years in opposition, grassroots politics restores Labor to power in New South Wales
Sometimes defeat can come with small victories. In his NSW election concession speech, defeated Liberal-National Coalition Premier Dominic Perrottet remarked the campaign had been a “race to the top”. Voters seemed to agree. Perrottet’s opponent, Labor’s Chris Minns, brought the conciliatory tone he maintained as opposition leader into the campaign. Combative politics, in NSW at least, might be a thing of the past.
Labor is odds-on for a narrow victory in NSW election, but it is far from a sure bet

How to Catalyze Rapid Climate Action? With ‘Radical Collaboration’

Barilaro report fails to put NSW government integrity crisis to rest
Fri Aug 19 Written by Andy Marks, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Strategy, Government and Alliances, Western Sydney University It took George Orwell just one line to describe a political dystopia: “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” In contemporary NSW politics, it seems, it takes two inquiries, multiple press conferences, rolling media coverage, and a ministerial resignation.

NSW government slides further into trouble as Perrottet struggles for clear air
Clear air is essential ahead of an election. Space to make the case to voters. Room to build positive momentum. And yet, hurtling towards a poll in March 2023, the NSW Liberal-National government is gasping for breath. Questions over the relinquished New York trade office appointment of former NSW Nationals leader John Barilaro have sucked substantial oxygen from premier Dominic Perrottet’s efforts to renew a 12-year-old administration.

After a bombshell day at ICAC, questions must be asked about integrity in Australian politics
A few days into the current Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) proceedings in NSW, and it appears two relatively popular former NSW premiers and Cabinet colleagues – Gladys Berejiklian and Mike Baird – might hold markedly different views on integrity in public office.
Dr Andy Marks: Community is key for Western Sydney’s reboot
We have an opportunity to embrace a new phase of visionary infrastructure, less to do with building things and more about communities, writes Andy Marks. As for aspirations, it was pretty much accepted that “higher education” was for kids east of us. I’m yet to be convinced rock’n’roll is not critical infrastructure, but teenage me would be amazed at the West’s recent transformation.
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian avoids a spill but remains in troubled waters
“How good is Gladys Berejiklian?” Prime Minister Scott Morrison asked a jubilant crowd of Liberal supporters on the evening of her March 23 2019 state election win. Only as good as her most recent legislative adventure, it would seem. When, barely six months ago, the NSW Liberal premier returned the state’s Liberal-National coalition for a third term, a leadership spill was the furthest thing from the minds of her supporters and detractors.
McCarthy completes comeback, wins Ocala Open
By Andy MarksStaff writer Friday Mar 13, 2015 at 5:05 PM Dan McCarthy finished a red-hot two-day run with four birdies in his final five holes to polish off a stirring comeback and a one-stroke win. When Dan McCarthy shot 1-under in Wednesday's first round of the Ocala Open, he was six strokes off the lead, far back in a field that was collecting birdies at a blistering pace. But McCarthy believed his game was in far better form than the number on his scorecard reflected.

NSW Coalition scrapes back in as minor parties surge - but delivering on promises will not be easy
“It’s not a game of SimCity,” NSW treasurer, Dominic Perrottet assured viewers on the ABC’s NSW election night coverage. “Sydney’s under construction”, he added, acknowledging the Coalition government’s unfinished infrastructure projects are causing grief, but noting, “I don’t sense any baseball bats”. He was right. Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s Liberal-National government was returned to office on Saturday night, albeit on a slender margin.
Mark Latham in the upper house? A Coalition minority government? The NSW election is nearly upon us and it's going to be a wild ride
We are but weeks away from an election in New South Wales – polling day is on March 23 – and it will be eagerly watched. Not just for the outcome but for the implications for the looming federal election.

Opinion: A quick history lesson for Senator Fraser Anning
In his maiden speech in parliament last night, Katter Australia Party senator Fraser Anning insisted we need to “restore the cohesive vision of our founding fathers.” Bringing up the White Australia Policy and related institutional prejudices is not a new angle. Only, when someone brings it up, they’re usually offering it as a warning. Anning singled out three priorities he will chase down during his time as a senator: agriculture, infrastructure and immigration.
Sisters Kasey and Sami Fagan transfer to SEC schools, reflect on exit from the University of Florida
DUNNELLON — As elite softball players, sisters Kasey and Sami Fagan have competed against the highest level of competition for as long as they can remember. They routinely faced the best players and best teams from all corners of the country. There is, however, one opponent neither of them ever had to contend with before. They never had to play against each other. That's going to change when the Dunnellon natives resume their college softball careers in the spring of 2014.
Let's measure the value of Australia's medal success. No, not at the Olympics
The hand-wringing that’s followed every Olympics since 2004 has become so predictable it’s now almost a post-games ritual for Australia’s athletes and officials. Questions are being asked about our performance at the Rio Olympic Games as we struggle to rationalise our declining fortunes on the international sporting stage. Rio’s tally of 29 medals from 422 athletes gives an estimated average price tag of A$11.4 million per medal.

Colts fall in state baseball semifinal against nationally ranked Archbishop McCarthy
FORT MYERS — North Marion's opponent for its first state tournament appearance was a true juggernaut in nationally ranked Archbishop McCarthy, winners of five state championships in six years. But it was the Colts' own miscues, not so much the vaunted Mavericks, playing the biggest role in their 14-2, five-inning loss Wednesday at JetBlue Park. In an disastrous second inning, North Marion suffered three errors, two wild pitches and four walks, allowing McCarthy an insurmountable 8-0 lead.

Storytelling Still Matters
When it comes to content marketing and branded entertainment, data seems to be the buzzword these days. And while data can provide amazing insights and help with audience targeting and other marketing decisions, it’s important not to lose sight of what it is that makes a piece of content great, rather than simply good: storytelling.

The Rams won that pivotal battle of wills Tuesday and as a result, they're headed to the Region 2-5A finals for the third time in four years after a 52-51 playoff win. “We worked on slowing it down and then trying to take the best shot,” veteran Eastside coach Pop Williams said. “We did a little bit of that. We knew they wanted to run, so we worked in practice on slowing them down.” The Rams (17-13) will visit Tarpon Springs (29-1) on Saturday with a berth in the state tournament on the line.
