text: College recruiting and summer internships are fully underway here at Storm8! This will be our first year having interns and we're stoked! What does a summer internship look like at Storm8? I'm glad you asked. :) We are looking for the brightest of minds at top universities to join us for the summer and experience what it's like being a bad-ass software engineer for one of the hottest startups in Silicon Valley. As an intern at Storm8 you will essentially be a full time employee for three months. You will be trained on how to develop games for mobile devices, build new features for existing games, or potentially develop a new title from the ground up. By the end of your 3 months you will have a tangible product that will reach thousands if not millions of users. Pretty cool eh? What's the catch? Since we will be treating you like a full time software engineer you will have to pass our general software engineering interview loop. That's right. You're going to have to solve the same problems we ask even the most experienced engineers. However we do understand that you guys are still in school so we reduced the amount of interview questions than what we normally ask full time candidates, but don't let this fool you into thinking our interview process will be any easier. The questions we ask are tough so be sure to brush up on your algorithms and coding! Here is a great refresher on how you can prepare for an interview at Storm8: http://blog.storm8.com/post/13603787936/interviewingatstorm8 We only have a limited amount of seats available for interns this year.

Irrational Games has another hit on its hands. "BioShock Infinite" has been amazing critics and gamers alike -- with a 95 rating for PC and PlayStation 3 and a 93 for Xbox 360.
The sequel to the critically acclaimed blockbusters "BioShock" and "BioShock 2" has taken advantage of years of technology advancements from both Epic Games, which built the Unreal Engine 3 game engine, and the development team at Irrational Games, which has added its own additions to the core engine to bring the floating city of Columbia to life.
"Our Core Technology team, led by Steve Ellmore, and our Gameplay Programming team, led by John Abercrombie, have replaced or heavily modified vast portions of Unreal Engine 3 for 'BioShock Infinite,'" said Chris Kline, technical director at Irrational Games. "A few examples of systems their teams developed include AI, rendering, audio, animation, entity movement, collision detection and user input. Other systems were deeply modified such as physics and content streaming."
The developer has also made extensive architectural changes to allow many core engine systems to run in parallel on separate SPUs or CPU cores. A small selection of systems that they have running asynchronously (depending on the platform) include collision detection, ray casting, sound propagation, garbage collection, Sky-Line geometry extrusion, spline proximity tests, AI suppressive fire calculations, data compression/decompression, animation transform and blending, audio processing, particle generation, SSAO, command buffer generation, rigid-body physics and cloth simulation.
"In many cases we needed to come up with entirely new systems to create the world of 'BioShock Infinite,'" explained Kline. "For example, we developed a technology we call 'Floating Worlds' to allow all of Columbia's buildings, zeppelins and barges to be in constant motion without affecting performance. Another example is the 'Pattern Matcher,' a system that continuously analyzes the state of the game world over time to detect patterns of behavior. This allows us better understand the kinds of conceptual situations that the player, Elizabeth and AIs are in involved in at any given moment, so they can behave and speak in a context-appropriate fashion."
One of the more impressive technological accomplishments in "BioShock Infinite" -- and there are many -- is the computer-controlled character, Elizabeth. She actually has multiple roles in the game. In addition to being what Hitchcock would call the MacGuffin, in the sense that she's what the various factions are pursuing in this game, she has the ability to tear through time and pull elements like gun turrets from the future back to 1912. While she's the one the player, as Booker DeWitt, is rescuing, she actually plays a huge role in helping throughout the interactive storyline.
In addition to the aforementioned technology changes, Kline said almost all of the original UE3 gameplay code was rewritten and the vast majority of UnrealScript code was removed. They extended the Unreal Editor toolset rather than replacing it, but very few systems remain "untouched."
The Unreal Engine enabled the original world of Rapture to come to life leagues beneath the sea. Ken Levine and his creative team in Boston decided to venture into original territory with Columbia, while tackling deep new political themes with the ultranationalist Founders and the rebelling people's movement known as the Vox Populi, and taking a very different look at an alternate 1912.
"It's a very different engine than we had before," added Levine, founder of Irrational Games. "For better or worse, we had to throw out everything we had in the first game because we could not build this new game on it. That engine was really good for building these tight corridors and these underwater, underground structures that would appear. But with these big open spaces where you're fighting 10 or 12 enemies at one time, that's something for which we needed to build a new piece of technology. We couldn't have done it in the old engine, but our action has always been a company that's creatively driven and the technology is designed to support creative effort."
Levine said his team has amazing technologists who are always willing to figure out how to solve the toughest problems. That's how the Sky-Lines were built. The creative team dreamt up cool new gameplay elements, such as the rollercoaster-like Sky-Lines system that's used to transport cargo, and the technology team built the necessary code to bring that fun new mechanic to virtual life.
"It was really challenging but once you have that visceral feeling of being on those Sky-Lines and figuring out how they would work in this world, how they would look in this world, how they would feel in this world, it got really exciting for us and we're really happy with how it turned out," said Levine.
With four years in development, using Unreal Engine 3 did save the team time in bringing this latest masterpiece to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The team's familiarity with the technology from the original "BioShock" also helped with introducing new code and new gameplay to the equation.
"We're talking about a world where entire buildings are moving around in the sky, you're fighting AIs at 90 miles per hour on Sky-Lines as you dangle high above the earth, and racing through vicious weather to rescue Elizabeth while battling your way through hordes of enemies determined to stop you at any cost," said Kline. "Right from the outset, we realized that this was going to be a monumental undertaking on the tech side, but decided it was a challenge that we simply had to take on in order to give gamers the kind of quality experience they've come to expect from Irrational Games and 'BioShock.'"
As the raves from fans and the most nitpicky gaming press have expressed, Columbia is unlike any game world that we've ever seen. The "Floating Worlds" technology Irrational created keeps players on the edge of their seats at all times, since the very ground beneath you can fall from the sky at any moment. Add in the armed mechanical enemies like the Gatling gun-armed Motorized Patriots and the giant Songbird and this is likely the least of players' worries as they progress through the 12 hours of story.
The open world looks gorgeous, or even unreal, and its bright open outdoor spaces are in stark contrast to the dark and gloomy, claustrophobic environments from the original "BioShock." Kline said his rendering team created a new deferred renderer based as well as a proprietary per-pixel dynamic relighting scheme that allows characters and dynamic objects to receive global illumination. It's this type of new technology that brings this unique interactive world to gamers, creating a canvas on which Levine and his team have painted an intriguing story with many layers. With his creation now complete, except for the upcoming DLC, Levine is looking forward to the future of game development.
"What excites me are the unknowns," said Levine. "I think a lot of people would get very nervous about change, but I think it keeps us on our toes. We have to keep changing. When I started this, I was making half-million-dollar budget PC games and now we're making these big-budget PC and console titles, and that may change again. Who knows what the future may bring. Maybe we'll have to readjust and rethink how we do things, but I find that exciting, and I love understanding how the space is changing. I play every kind of game and if you think today is going to be tomorrow, or you think yesterday is going to be tomorrow, you have a real problem. Tomorrow is tomorrow and none of us really know what it is, but that can either cause you anxiety or you can enjoy it."
Gamers are certainly enjoying "BioShock Infinite," which has become one of the best-reviewed Unreal Engine games of all time. With this tech at its very core, it's the creative minds of Irrational Games that have pushed both storytelling and the ability to create brilliant new worlds to new heights, literally. "BioShock Infinite" showcases why current generation consoles can still bring amazing experiences to life with the perfect marriage of technology and creativity.

How To Make Quick-Pickled Red Onions
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
If you were to peek into my refrigerator any day of the week, any season of the year, you will surely find a jar of pickled red onions. This bright, jewel-toned condiment offers a zesty tang to countless dishes and adds a lovely splash of color as well. It takes about ten minutes to assemble and lasts for weeks in the refrigerator. What more can you want from a pickle?
There are countless uses for pickled onions. Tuck them into sandwiches, especially those with rich meats such as pulled pork; use them as a condiment to top tacos, bean dishes, and rich mayo-based salads such as potato or egg salad; toss them into lettuce salads, grain salads, and salads with sturdy greens such as kale. Their bright pink color, crunchy texture, and piquant flavor will perk up almost any dish. They're also perfect for serving with sandwich and salad buffets at parties.
The Onions
I like to cut my onions into rings because I find the tangled loops are easier to scoop from the jar and I like the way they look. If you prefer, you can also cut the onions into half moons. They can be sliced paper thin or into rather thick, 1/2-inch slices, but I like to split the difference and slice them slightly thinner than 1/4-inch thick.
I only use red onions for my picked onions, but yellow or white onions can be used as well. Of course you won't get that lovely bright pink color, but if that's not a factor, then give it a try. Be sure to use a firm onion that is free of soft spots and blemishes.
The Vinegar
I usually use a pale-colored vinegar such as rice vinegar or white wine vinegar. If I happen to be out, apple cider vinegar will do. Do not use the industrial white vinegar that comes in large gallon containers as it is too harsh-tasting
The Sugar
The sugar provides a nice balance to the salty vinegar brine, but you can leave it out if you are avoiding sugar. Honey or another sugar substitute might work, but start with less just be safe.
The Flavorings
At their most basic, pickled red onions are simply sliced onions that have been covered in a mixture of vinegar, salt and sugar, and allowed to marinate. It's a lot of fun to add additional spices and to customized the mixture to match your dish. In the recipe below, I used my favorite mixture of flavorings, which includes fresh garlic and a chili for added oomph. You can leave them out or add additional selections such as a bay leaf, herbs like rosemary or oregano, orange peel, or cloves. Asian spices such as star anise, cinnamon, Szechuan pepper, and fresh ginger would also be a nice garnish for a rice-based stir fry or other Asian dish.
Over time, the onions will eventually turn a uniform shade of vivid pink. Be sure to store your pickled onions in a glass or ceramic container. Most metals will react with the vinegar and plastic will absorb the flavors. I like to use a pretty canning jar so I can just grab the onions from the refrigerator and plunk them on the table with no fuss.
Make Quick-Pickled Onions
What You Need
1 firm red onion, about 5 ounces
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup rice vinegar, white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Flavorings (optional):
1 small clove of garlic, halved
5 black peppercorns
5 allspice berries
3 small springs of thyme
1 small dried chili
Kettle for boiling water
Knife and cutting board
Sieve or colander
Clean jar or container
Slice the onions: Start 2 or 3 cups of water on to boil in a kettle. Peel and thinly slice the onion into approximately 1/4" moons. Peel and cut the garlic clove in half.
Dissolve the sugar and salt: In the container you will be using to store the onions, add the sugar, salt, vinegar and flavorings. Stir to dissolve.
Par-blanch the onions: Place the onions in the sieve and place the sieve in the sink. Slowly pour the boiling water over the onions and let them drain.
Add the onions to the jar: Add the onions to the jar and stir gently to evenly distribute the flavorings.
- Store: The onions will be ready in about 30 minutes, but are better after a few hours. Store in the refrigerator. They will keep for several weeks but are best in the first week.

I love pickled onions! Is the par-blanching necessary? Is it to soften them a bit or to kill bacteria? I always make mine by just tossing the onions with the vinegar, salt and sugar.
You can also make these faux pickled red onions... less complicated, and they don't last quite as long, but they're perfect as salad dressing with their own juices.
kirstab: You know, I had that question myself! Pouring water over the onions is something I've always done without quite knowing why. A quick internet research shows that most picked onion recipes call for this, but without explanation.
Hot water is often pour over onions (that aren't going to be pickled or cooked) in order to tame their sharpness and soften them a little. But a pickling brine is so intense and sharp itself, perhaps it isn't necessary. Hmmmmm ...
Readers? What do you know about this? Do we need to call Christopher and Bridget?
Sherry vinegar is also very good for these.
I parblanch the onions in a pyrex measuring cup--I put the rings in there, pour the boiling water over them, and let sit about 10 seconds, then drain. It softens the onions and rinses away some of the juice, which will give you a milder pickle. If you really want a zinger, I don't think it would be dangerous to skip it.
I make pickled onions often and I have never blanched them. I've also used watered down white vinegar with plenty of success. Cheap and yummy.
Red onions are my favorite! I will be trying this. So very pretty. Thanks for the idea.
I think the blanching just mellows them out a little bit. If you're using sweet onions its definitely not necessary, but you may want to if your onions are very sharp.
I have always just added water, vinegar, sugar/salt and seasonings to a small pot and bring to a boil. I then add the onions and remove from heat, letting them soak for 10 minutes, before pouring in a jar and letting them cool in the fridge. I will have to try this method and see if it works better.
I discovered pickled onions at the beginning of the summer, and I am already totally hooked. I like to use lime juice though, usually 3 limes is enough acid for one red onion, and I don't bother adding any sweetener. Soooo good.
I've never added a sweetener, either. If I want my onions sweet, I cook them to death.
I sometimes just soak sliced onions in a vinegar/salt/sugar mixture for an hour or two at room temp and then use them on a salad or sandwich--quickly and easily they really jazz up an otherwise-ordinary dish. But I've never thought to keep some on hand in the fridge. Printing out your recipe now, and excited about tonight's burgers. :)
Where did you get that jar??
Le parfait jar
Yep- that looks like a Le Parfait jar: http://www.leparfait.com/
I make these with a mixture of white wine vinegar and my own chive blossom vinegar. And I don't pour hot water over the onions first. They are tangy and, if I need to, I can always add more sugar to mellow it out a little.
I will be making your Asian version soon. I do make a lot of Asian meals.
Thanks so much for the recipe. When I make refrigerator pickled onions, I blanch my sliced onions in boiling water for about 1 minute or so and rinse them in cold water. This takes some of the bite out of the onion and some of the stomach irritation. Vinegar soaking takes out some of the bite too but they are sometimes still too strong for me. I also add beet juice for some sweetness and really lovely pink onions that make a great garnish or salad topping. I also use these onions to top my hummus. Then I sprinkle with a little sumac. This makes a beautiful presentation.
Hi Everybody: Thanks for sharing your version of quick-pickled red onions! It's true that some recipes don't contain sugar and some ask for the hot water par-blanch and some don't. It really is a very flexible, do-your-own-thing kind of pickle!
The jar doesn't have the Le Parfait name etched into it but it's very much like one. I imagine it's the 'terrine' as seen in @beatrix 's link above. I purchased this one a few years ago at San Francisco's Rainbow Foods.
I made this on the weekend and it was perfect. I'm mostly obsessed with how beautiful they look in the jar. :)
Thanks for this recipe! I'm making it right now for an Asian Slaw recipe!

The Willow Lake Mine near Harrisburg will close, impacting the jobs of 400 people.
"I think it's going to be a very hard blow on not only the families but the entire community," said James Baker of Eldorado. "And I can't quite see why they're doing it."
According to Big Ridge, Inc., the coal mine has failed to meet acceptable standards for safety, compliance and operating performance, and these ongoing issues make the operations unsustainable.
The company also cites performance production as a factor in decision to close.
"I really think it's going to hurt a lot of families around the holidays, especially at Christmas," said Tiffany Koker of Eldorado. "And I think it's going to really impact the community with them losing their jobs, that the community does need."
This comes after a deadly accident at the mine on November 17.
Chad Wayne Meyers, a 30-year-old employee at the Willow Lake Mine was fatally injured early on Nov. 17 after he became pinned by a continuous mining machine that he was operating.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letters are being provided to about 400 employees, according to a press release from the company.
Some of the workers may be called back after the holidays to remove some of the mining equipment that is underneath the ground.
Willow Lake sold 2.2 million tons of coal in 2011. The mine has a workforce of about 460 people and operates year-round, seven days a week, according to Peabody Energy's website.
"The loss of four hundred good jobs, these are hard working men and women," said Harrisburg Mayor Eric Gregg. "And it's just really difficult to sit here as a mayor and think about what that's going to do to this community."
Peabody expects to incur a largely non-cash, one-time charge estimated at $40 to $60 million ($0.10 to $0.15 per share after tax) in the fourth quarter primarily to write off assets, increase asset retirement obligations and accrue severance, according to the company. The company expects little effect on ongoing earnings from the closing.

New Orleans, La. — It was non-stop activity at the Fair Grounds Thursday, on the eve of the opening of the Jazz and Heritage Festival.
"I find it to be very exciting," said Irving Lafayette, who lives next to the Fair Grounds in Gentilly.
"Our neighbors over here will be in a line dance doing some kind of Macarena," said Willie Davis, who also lives near the Jazz Fest venue.
The festival opens just days after a deadly terrorist attack in Boston which has fixated many around the nation and caused law enforcement here to be on guard. Still, security is never an afterthought for the annual Jazz Fest.
"We'll have anywhere from 200 to 250 police officers dedicated to policing the Jazz Fest on every day … it'll flex up some days, flex down some days," said NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
Serpas admits the Boston bombings were on their minds in fine-tuning this year's festival security plan.
"We work every day with our partners in the Joint Terrorism Task Force, we work every day with our partners with the FBI, the ATF and the DEA. While those agencies have no on-the-ground responsibility for an event such as this, they do provide intelligence and backup and information flow, if something comes to their attention that we need to know about right away," continued Serpas.
With tens of thousands expected to stream through the festival's gates, Serpas said people should exercise patience. "There will be some different packages of security coming into the festival that will be worked out with the patrons when they come, they'll explain what those are, it's nothing significant, but it's a little closer view," he said.
People living near the Fair Grounds expressed confidence that security for the festival will be more than adequate.
"I don't worry about big major things happening because I think our government is on top of things," said Lafayette.
And when it comes to illegal parking for the Jazz Fest, the city says it will have lots of parking enforcement personnel in place, looking for people blocking fire hydrants, drive ways and sidewalks.
"Oh, it's madness around here," Lafayette said of parking conditions during the festival.
But law enforcement is comfortable that festival attendees will be safe.
"The greatest strength of any nation, and our nation in particular is that we don't back down to people who threaten us and make us afraid," said Serpas.

Breast-Feeding: Choosing a Breast Pump
Topic Overview
If you plan to breast-feed and use a breast pump at times, research your equipment options while you are pregnant. When evaluating the different types of breast pumps, think about how often you will need to use the pump. Think about:
Whichever pump you choose, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to use the pump safely and how to clean the pump parts. Always wash your hands before pumping and before handling milk that will be stored.
Types of pumps
Expressing breast milk by hand (manual expression) is one collection method. But it takes a long time to completely empty a breast, and it is rarely practical if you plan to return to work. Pumps can be operated manually, with batteries, or with electricity.
Before your baby is born, ask for information from someone who is experienced and knowledgeable about what brand and type of pump to buy or rent. Pick up different styles of pumps and feel how heavy they are. Evaluate each pump for practicality, ease of use, and how it will meet your needs.
You usually can rent electric pumps from a hospital or breast-feeding specialist. Renting a pump may be a cost-effective option if you only plan to pump temporarily (for example, if you are away from your baby for a few days).
Some electric models pump both breasts at once (double electric pumps). These often are preferred by working mothers because they are efficient and fast. These may also be recommended for preterm infants to stimulate your milk supply.
For more information about selecting and using a breast pump, talk to a lactation consultant. Most hospitals can refer you to someone who can discuss the options with you.

Rated 5 out of 5�by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Brenda N Best Gloves These are the only gloves I have ever owned where my hands don't get cold at all. I love the cuffs so that I can take my gloves off and not lose them (something I am known to do). I did accidentally drop one of these beautiful white gloves in a dirty puddle but the fabric is treated and the dirt and water wiped right off. I used them for tubing (tow ropes) and had very little sign of wear and also for snow shoeing and had no issues holding poles. Although, a little spendy, I feel they are well worth the money.

Augusta commissioners put off a vote on designating downtown Augusta a slum area.
City leaders deciding instead to hold a work session on the controversial Urban Redevelopment Plan.
The plan would allow the city to issue bonds for renovating the Municipal building; however the planning documents refer to a nearly 600 acre section of downtown as a slum area.
Something many commissioners don't want as part of the official document.
"The slum designation is deplorable because I expressed what a slum a slum you're talking about the mores of the people that live there you're talking about disease and so forth but you can live in blighted structures without it being any of those," says Commissioner Bill Lockett.
Mayor Copenhaver scheduled to work session on the slum designation for Monday September 30th at One PM

Federal Transit Law requires coordinated public transit-human services transportation (CHST) plans to be locally developed. These plans identify the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, and prioritize transportation services for funding and implementation.
All federal funding under the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (Section 5310) program must be consistent and in keeping with the findings, goals, and objectives outlined in these plans. Go to the Funding Opportunities & Resources page for more information about federal funding programs.

Health sector's Achilles heel: Security leaks
An industry insider warns that the much-hyped effort to digitize medical records is being compromised by theft of personal data, putting patients -- and investors -- at risk.
Greg Porter has this frightening diagnosis for e-health care investors: The digital diseases of piracy and commodification of information that have debilitated the music, publishing and financial services industries have infected their field as well.
"The theft of protected, personal health information has never been higher," he said.
Porter is no quack. He's the founder of Allegheny Digital, an information security company in Pittsburgh and an adjunct faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University, where he pioneered the curriculum on information security in the health care industry.
"I'm trying to let anyone within earshot know about this," he said. The trouble is, few in the industry appear to be listening.
A stunning 21 million health care records have been compromised since the fall of 2009, when the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began keeping track. The agency goes as far as to post these breaches on an agency website "Wall of Shame." Last year, the Utah Department of Health alone inadvertently exposed some 780,000 patient records.
"You almost become numb to it after a while," he said. "You wonder, 'Does it matter? Does the public care?'"
A healthy health care market?
Investors need not bother with med school to learn that health care in the United States has belligerently resisted the digital age. Most experts I spoke say it's roughly a decade behind the leading edge of the information age.
But like it or not, health care is going digital. The sector is undergoing a shock-treatment regimen of federal mandates such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and stimulus enticements from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
And investors and blue chip companies are rushing to cash in.
Behemoths such as Dublin, Ohio-based Cardinal Health (CAH) have been pushing electronic health care solutions with consulting services for small practices. New York-based start-up ZocDoc claims 2.5 million users -- and Amazon.com's (AMZN) Jeff Bezos as an investor.
Just last week, Boston-based QPID, an electronic medical records search tool to help doctors screen patients, announced it had raised $4 million from Boston-based Partners Innovation Fund and Matrix Partners.
Chamath Palihapitiya, a general partner with The Social+Capital Partnership and a former senior executive at Facebook (FB), told me flatly that e-health care is one of just four of the venture fund's major investment areas.
"There is so much opportunity to bring more rational health care choices to consumers," he told me over the phone.
The patient is not well
While investors may see nothing but the healthy glow of profits here, even a cursory tour of e-health care with Porter as a guide shows that protecting this wave of digital information is going to be like curing the Spanish Flu.
"We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg in terms of breaches," Porter says.
Porter says that even the basics of information security -- stupid stuff such as unique passwords, simple file protection and basic malware software -- are flatly beyond the e-health care industry. Most health care records are essentially unprotected commodities for criminals, he says, who use them to get free medical services and trade in prescription drugs.
"This is not sophisticated to obtain. It took me less than 30 minutes of research and I was trading information with people willing to buy and send me samples," is how he described the process of obtaining valuable health care identities. It's a process that will only get easier as e-health records get more prevalent.
What's the price of a stolen soul working out to? Not much. Porter estimates the street value of an individual e-health care record has collapsed to just $20.
"Imagine if that was your information being traded on the open market," he said. "It's infuriating and inexcusable."
The prognosis: Not so good
The bitter pill health care investors must swallow tastes like this: The market in digital health care information turns out to be awfully similar to any other digital market, with shrinkage, theft and piracy just the sad facts of life.
That means, friends, that just like in the music industry -- where 65% of content is obtained for free, according to the Recording Industry Association of America -- similar amounts of e-health care records will be similarly stolen. Investors, therefore, need to hedge the risk that margins on delivering health care data will shrink along similar lines of music, publishing and financial services.
Investors should plan on margin-killing free and freemium Web businesses to grind parts of e-health care market into dust. Go look: WebMD and FamilyDoctor.org are already well along morphing into no-margin, free, ad-supported -- not to mention profit-challenged -- e-health care riffs just like music and content services such as Grooveshark and Last.fm. And government e-health portals similar to IRS.gov in the financial planning and accounting realms will take their bite.
Sure, as in music and publishing, the live performance and event elements will hold value. Surgeons, nurses and ambulance drivers will still get paid. But the so-called massive market in the virtualization and trafficking in health care data that is driving this current wave of investor speculation will almost certainly suffer the same maladies as the rest of the Information Age.
Like any e-business, e-health care will struggle to be healthy.
More from TheStreet.com
Keeping medical records in folders stored a file rooms belongs in the 50s. Your whole life is one big digital record and it's time the medical profession joined the rest of us in the 21st century
An acquaintance of mine bought the contents of a storage locker used by a medical group whose "grand plan" failed. It contained, among other things, several boxes of patient records. And yes, he returned them to the doctors.
I'd rather have my medical records sitting on a firewalled server, rather than in some file cabinet in a doctor's office. If you bank or trade stocks online or with a smartphone, I don't see why you are concerned about medical records going digital. Any system can be hacked, but as the saying goes, it is what it is.

Writing Contest: Semifinalist
Song: "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out" (Eric Clapton)
In the song, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," Eric Clapton sings
about the misuse of money and its harsh impacts. He portrays himself as a millionaire in the
beginning of the song. However, he spends all his money to take his friends out for a good time.
Soon, his poor judgment leads to the loss of all his wealth, and his so-called "friends" desert him.
He sings, "Then I began to fall so low, lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go."
Nobody wants him when he is "down and out" He's left with no money and no friends. Yet
when he accumulates wealth again, everyone wants to be his "long-lost" friend. This song
covers key economic concepts and it is relevant to many situations that are seen today.
Conspicuous consumption is defined as the display of expensive items and heavy
expenditure in order to convince others that one is wealthy (Dictionary.com). This is the central
theme of the song. The singer spends all his money in order to impress his friends. He takes his
friends out for "whiskey, champagne, and wine." It is evident, however, that this is wasteful
spending, since his friends desert him when he has no money left. The lyrics strongly correlate
to the real world. Some people often buy luxurious items that they cannot afford. They try to
attain the goods using credit cards. By using these credit cards, they promise the vendor that
they'll pay the debt in the future. However, this thinking sometimes pushes people past the
limits, and it may put them in debt. Numerous stories in the media tell of people who are unable
to pay off their debts and resort to filing for bankruptcy. If such individuals had limited their
conspicuous consumption, however, they would have been debt-free.
Through strong thematic statements and imagery, the song shows the importance of
saving money. In the song, a person uses all his money on his friends and he is finally left with
nothing. In order to sustain wealth and make gains, one must save and invest money. Losses
can be avoided by saving and investing. Putting money away in banks allows for interest
compounding and minimal gains. Despite extra expenditures, one can prepare for the future by
depositing money in retirement plans.
The song also talks about opportunity cost, or the highest-valued alternative that must be
sacrificed to satisfy a want (Miller and Farese, 1992). The singer makes a poor judgment when
he chooses to spend all his money on his friends. In turn, his wealth begins to be depleted. The
opportunity cost for choosing to spend money on whiskey and wine for friends is depleting his
financial resources. This can be applied to the real world. Evaluating the opportunity costs
before making decisions leads to better decision making.
The song makes a symbolic correlation to the American dollar: "I get my hands on a
dollar again, I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins." The "eagle" he refers to is the one
found on the dollar bill. The singer says that he'll never let go of a dollar unless the eagle on the
dollar smiles. It is apparent that the image of the eagle will never smile, suggesting that he'll
never again let go of a dollar.
In the end of the song, the singer describes how lonely he really was since only money
brought him friends. This song presents the dangers that conspicuous consumption may bring.
By showing off to his friends, the millionaire drains his financial resources. In the end, he is left
with nothing. It also shows the reality of wasting money by not evaluating costs effectively. By
using the aforementioned concepts, the song shows the importance of saving money because in
the end, "nobody knows you when you're down and out."

Director's Welcome
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Alvernia University. On behalf of Alvernia administration, faculty, and staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our website and introduce you to our newly developing DPT Program, the first program for the education of physical therapists in Berks County!
Let me first congratulate you on your decision to consider a career in Physical Therapy. Regardless of where you decide to pursue your education, we are excited that you have chosen a profession where you will have the opportunity to change lives on a daily basis. At Alvernia, we are extremely excited to be working toward the development of an innovative educational experience that distinguishes us from other programs. As you consider your educational options, I invite you to ask the question, "Why Alvernia?!"
The Alvernia University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program is:
- Dedicated to Active Engagement and Community Service: The concept of "knowledge joined with love" permeates our culture and incites active community engagement. Alvernia DPT students will experience a variety of service-learning opportunities.
- Values Multi-Disciplinary Healthcare Education: Alvernia DPT students will work collaboratively with other students pursuing a blend of undergraduate and graduate coursework.
- Committed to the Development of Competent Clinical Practice: DPT faculty remain actively involved in clinical practice with over 80 years of combined clinical experience representing several areas of clinical specialization.
Perhaps the most compelling reason to consider Alvernia, however, is our commitment to establish a culture of excellence that promotes the imperative, "To Learn, To Love, and To Serve". A wise man once said, "Education is not the means of showing people how to get what they want. Education is an exercise through which enough people will learn to want what is worth having. No true education can leave out the moral and spiritual dimensions of human life and striving". Toward that end, our primary objective is to develop clinically-competent, community-conscious graduates who are prepared to think critically and serve altruistically as they become life-long learners, reflective professionals, engaged citizens, and ethical leaders with moral courage. I wish you well and hope that I may have the opportunity to join you in your journey!
Dr. Christopher Wise

The signs announcing that the Stillwater Quiznos store is closing have been up for about two weeks, but the writing has been on the wall for quite some time.
Quiznos will serve its last toasted sub on Friday, Nov. 30. Closing the door on a franchise that has been in Stillwater just shy of 10 years now.
The original franchisee of Stillwater Quiznos built the store in 2003, and sold it off to Jason Sheetz's father in 2005.
After a couple of years of losing money, Sheetz said the store will close at 9 p.m. on Friday.
"The No. 1 reason we're closing is that it is just not a good franchise," Sheetz said. "They are not here for the franchisee. There's no way to make any money if they don't help—and the franchise itself if grasping at straws."
Quiznos has lost more than 70 percent of its stores since 2006, Sheetz said.
This is the third Quiznos store his family has closed—Jason recently closed locations he owned in Hudson and River Falls, and now his father has decided to pull the plug on the Stillwater location.
Other factors for the closing were "astronomical" rent in Stillwater; and food costs—35 percent at Quiznos, according to Sheetz—that are too high to turn a profit in today's economy.
"Our business has really taken a nose dive in the last six months," Sheetz said. "We are down 20 percent over the last six months, and we were down before that."
It's never easy to close a store, Sheetz said, "we're just losing too much money."
Over the years, the Stillwater Quiznos has developed a great customer base—and feels they have become a part of the community—so Sheetz said he wants people to know why the sandwich shop is closing.
"We didn't want to post a sign and close the next day," Sheetz said. "We want to give people the chance to come in and say good-bye."

An audience member's daughter has Crohn's disease, and she asks Dr. Oz what causes it. Dr. Oz answers that Crohn's is still somewhat a mystery, but what we do know is that it is an immune process that kills-off the lining of the small intestines, creating holes within them. Fluids escape through these holes, and an infection begins. It is believed that when the infection hits the intestinal tract, the immune system's reaction can cause a wide variety of negative symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, weight loss, as well as complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract).
Dr. Oz states that steroids usually help in treatment, however, it is best to first find out what the infection is caused by (which can be a combination of environmental factors and/or genetic predisposition). Audience member Marilyn tells Dr. Oz that she is on a strict diet. Marilyn's daily diet is apparently comprised of 200 Splenda packets (a no calorie sweetener/alternative to sugar), an apple, and a piece of chicken.
Dr. Oz appears extremely concerned, and he informs Marilyn that she is living off of chemicals, and that she is making a mistake by not giving her body nutrients. Dr. Oz looks into her mouth and discovers that her teeth are eroding.
This discovery causes Dr. Oz to bring up the bigger question about Marilyn's health habits, and about what she is doing to cause this enamel erosion. Dr. Oz reaches out to Marilyn to get her help, as there seems to be more to her story.

1. Obama's unaccountable briefers:
Here's a key paragraph in Saturday's New York Times report explaining the Obama administration's decision to delay yet again a decision on the Keystone pipeline:
'The Nebraska Supreme Court decision could lead to changes in the pipeline route, and it's important to have that information and better understand that route, because it could have implications for environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts of the pipeline,' a State Department official said Friday in a conference call with reporters that was conducted on the condition that the official not be named.
Why did this official have to remain anonymous? Was he or she providing a national security leak? Was he or she blowing the whistle on some government wrongdoing?
Hardly. In this case the anonymous briefer was offering up a comically far-fetched excuse for kicking the pipeline decision down the road until after the 2014 elections.
Even assuming a state court's decision on the routing of part of the pipeline could have "environmental, socioeconomic" or even "cultural" impacts — which is a stretch — the State Department could have made its own decision contingent on the state court not throwing any such unlikely curve balls. So you can't blame the briefer for not wanting his or her name attached to this gibberish, or the Obama administration for not wanting a name and a face out there for follow-up questions.

"Where Do We Go From Here?"
It has been 40 years since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn., while standing on the balcony outside his room at the Lorraine Motel. King was there to support striking sanitation workers, African-American men who endured horrible working conditions for poverty wages. While King's staff was opposed to him going, as they were scrambling to organize King's new initiative, the Poor People's Campaign, King himself knew that the sanitation workers were at the front lines of fighting poverty.
"Body of War"
We just passed the grim milestone of 4,000 U.S. military members killed in Iraq since the invasion five years ago. Still, the death toll climbs.

Young is the subject of a new feature documentary by legendary TV talk-show host Phil Donahue and filmmaker Ellen Spiro, called "Body of War."

As Goes Vermont
While the Iraq war is off the front pages, and Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama embark on what may well be a scorched-earth primary battle against each other, let's keep our eye on where the real scorched earth lies: who profits and who dies.
Clinton proclaimed in her victory speech in Ohio on March 4, after winning three of the four primary contests that day, "as goes Ohio, so goes the nation." She should take note, however, of how goes Vermont. That state might be a better bellwether, especially concerning the U.S. quagmire in Iraq.

Taxi to the Dark Side
On the Sunday following Sept. 11, 2001, Vice President Dick Cheney told the truth. On NBC's "Meet the Press," he said regarding plans to pursue the perpetrators of that attack: "We have to work the dark side, if you will. We're going to spend time in the shadows."
The grim, deadly consequences of his promise have, in the intervening six years, become the shame of our nation and have outraged millions around the world. President George Bush and Cheney, many argue, have overseen a massive global campaign of kidnapping, illegal detentions, harsh interrogations, torture and kangaroo courts where the accused face the death penalty, confronted by secret evidence obtained by torture, without legal representation.

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak traveled to Chicago on Thursday to promote a new ad campaign encouraging same-sex couples to venture to Minnesota to legally tie the knot.
"Folks from Minneapolis and Chicago know each other well. We visit each other often to take in theater, restaurants, museums, shopping, sports -- you name it. Now, Chicagoans have another great reason to come to Minneapolis: To get married," Rybak said. "Gay and lesbian couples from Chicago don't have to wait one more day to get married in Minneapolis. We're a supportive and welcoming city where folks are ready to help them put together the wedding of their dreams."
The "I Want to Marry You in Minneapolis" campaign will run in Chicago publications as well as in both Madison and Milwaukee in Wisconsin and Denver, Colo.Marriage equality has been in effect in Minnesota since Aug. 1, and within one month of that date, 1,640 same-sex Minnesota couples had applied for a marriage license.At midnight on Aug. 1, Rybak officiated 46 same-sex weddings that went until nearly 7 a.m. at Minneapolis City Hall.
"I hope the day comes very soon that all Illinoisans can marry the person that they love, and I strongly encourage the Legislature and Governor Quinn to pass marriage equality as soon as possible -- but until that day comes, I'm here to steal your business," Rybak said.
Although it's hard to know how many couples may be lured to Minnesota -- along with their checkbooks, one study conducted in Illinois found that same-sex marriage could mean as much as $100 million to the state's economy.
"This is very much about money," Rybak conceded while speaking in Chicago. "In my mind, it's also about equal rights. I can't imagine that in a city that has neighborhoods like this that were built by members of the LGBT community, they wouldn't have equal rights -- but hey, if they don't, we'd love you in Minneapolis."
The print ads will feature Twin Cities businesses, like Three Sons Signature Cuisine.
"It's a little frightening. I don't enjoy looking at myself in ads," Jodee McCallum admitted.
At this point, McCallum has no idea what kind of money the campaign could bring in, but she said she knows Minnesota is a tempting place to get hitched.
"I'm a little biased, but absolutely, I think Minneapolis is a wonderful place to get married," she said.
Another local business featured in the ads is Event Lab, which is known for planning some pretty extravagant weddings.
"The wedding industry is huge, of course," Gabriel Backlund said. "If the gay population makes up five to six percent of the general population, then that could be a large piece of the pie."
Since the marriage equality law went into effect, Three Sons Signature Cuisine has seen a change in their clients. While they have long hosted commitment ceremonies -- a typically intimate affair for 50 or 60 friends and family, they are now feeding wedding parties that number between 200 and 300.
