            <description><![CDATA[Clean-Coal technology could be up and running in Australia in five years, but government and big business lack the political and financial will, experts say. 
The chairman of the International Energy Agency`s greenhouse gas program, Kelly Thambimuthu, who also heads the University of Qld`s Centre for Coal Energy Technology, said Australia had not missed the boat on clean coal.

            <description><![CDATA[Three of the big-ticket items worth a collective $5.5 billion in southeast QLD`s $9bn water grid are either off the agenda, underused or not working. The cancellation of the $1.8bn Traveston Dam last week follows teething problems with the $1.2bn desalination plant at Tugun and the under-utilisation of the $2.5bn western corridor recycling scheme. 
QLD University geographer Clive McAlpine said that with Traveston off the agenda, the only option for bigger water storage units was to increase the size of existing dams, such as the Hinze Dam inland from the Gold Coast, and the Borumba Dam in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[At the official naming ceremony yesterday, many long term residents in the audience said it was very fitting the Leichhardt River Bridge, the main crossing in the city, would be named after Sir James Foots. The bridge physically links the Mount Isa community with the Mount Isa Mine - which symbolically - is what Sir James dedicated his time in the city to doing.
In 1982 The University of Qld conferred upon Sir James the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Engineering]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A virus that causes the common cold maybe saving people from swine flu.Researchers in Norway report rhinovirus rose there as flu fell in August, while Ian Mackay at the University of Queensland found the same trend in Australia. Mackay reported that people with rhinovirus are less likely to be infected with a second virus than people with other viruses.
MAckay speculates that interference from rhinovirus may not be enough to fend off flu if someone is exposed repeatedly.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The International Monetary Fund suggests that central banks such as the Reserve Bank of Aust. should engage monetary policy in restraining inflation as well as credit growth to head off destabilising property bubbles. Access Economics director Christopher Richardson said tighter prudential standards would not be as effective as monetary policy in containing asset price growth. But University of Queensland Australian Research Council Federation Fellow John Quiggin said property bubbles should be prevented through tighter financial regulation instead of monetary policies.]]></description>
