Biomedical innovators sought to boost industry's growth
CALGARY -- Curran Eggertson took two years off after completing high school because he wasn't sure what he wanted to pursue in post-secondary education. Then his grandfather suggested he try an engineering program at the University of Calgary.
"I just jumped in and pretty much never looked back," he says. After his first year of studies at the Schulich School of Engineering, he decided to go into mechanical, the stream with a specialization in biomedical engineering.
"I took the biomed option for two reasons: One is that it would definitely be a challenge; two is that it also opens up a completely new door. It just kept as many doors open for me as possible."
Last year, he went to Switzerland's Paul Scherrer Institute, one of the top nuclear research facilities in Europe, for an internship, where he was surrounded by some of the top talent in biomedical and nuclear research in the world.
When he graduates this spring, his ideal job would be working for a local biomedical company, but his main goal is to use his engineering skills for any industry, as long as it satisfies his passion for his main field.
"For me, it's not about the industry, it's about the engineering -- that's the important part," Eggertson says. "I want to apply logic and reason to make a process in this world more efficient."
It is exactly these kind of multidisciplinary students that Dr. Naweed Syed, head of the U of C's cell biology and anatomy department, says Alberta and Calgary need to attract to develop the biomedical industry in the province.
"The idea is to have an inter-disciplinary approach where we bring in these engineers who could work together with biomedical researchers, doctors and scientists to solve some of these health problems," Syed says. To compete globally, Canada needs to build a critical mass of graduates such as biomedical engineers to become an "innovation-savvy nation" that leads the way in biomedical research and development. "It's really important for us to be the innovators," he says.
Biomedical engineering is a specialization that draws on many disciplines.
Civil engineers, for example, deal with a lot of structures like joints and bones. Mechanical engineers design things like robots or related medical devices. Geomatics has biomedical applications in using laser scanning to measure the position of body parts, including 3-D laser scanning to monitor the condition of the spines of teenagers with scoliosis, instead of subjecting them to repeated X-rays.
Chemical engineering has applications for biomedical in terms of stem cell research, developing new drugs or studying blood flow in the body, while electrical and computer engineers develop medical imaging systems and new diagnostic methods.
"All of these disciplines have to come together to solve . . . a complex problem," Syed says. "The biomedical industry (is) looking for people who are trained not just in one discipline . . . but who are trained to think as interdisciplinary individuals."
The biomedical, health and drug industries are looking to universities for collaboration on research and development, so post-secondary institutions have to step up to the plate to deliver versatile graduates who can apply their engineering skills with teams of other experts to develop cutting-edge medical technologies, he adds.
"If we can create graduates locally, that really makes it exciting for industry to come to a place where there is an elite workforce of graduates . . . from biomedical engineering or an interdisciplinary area to really capture this workforce," Syed says.
For example, Syed and his team at the U of C's faculty of medicine broke new ground when they developed "brain-on-a-chip" technology drawing on several disciplines to be the first to connect brain cells to a silicon chip, a major step in controlling artificial limbs and correcting memory loss and impaired vision.
By investing in this pool of biomedical engineering talent locally, Syed hopes to build on that type of research for the benefit of the local economy and health of future generations.
"Making the educational system really nimble will allow us to bring this industry to partner (and) our motive should be to have -- through biomedical engineering -- healthy and prosperous Albertans," Syed says.

Cabooze Presents:
Jon Pardi w. Greene & Hurst
Greene & Hurst
The Cabooze
917 Cedar Ave
Minneapolis, MN, 55404
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
Capitol Records Nashville artist Jon Pardi may be new to the country music scene, but his strikingly original songs and relaxed confidence would suggest otherwise. His sound is undeniably country — paying homage to some of his musical heroes such as Dwight Yoakam, George Strait and Alan Jackson —with his lived-in voice and authentic delivery. But it's his carefree musical style combined with his high-energy live show which give this singer-songwriter his own niche in a diverse country landscape.
Hailing from a small town in Northern California, Pardi's first taste of country music stardom started in his Grandmother's house, where he sang to her with the radio and on karaoke tapes at the tender age of 3. The singer-songwriter spent his youth perfecting his craft – by 8 years old, he was playing the guitar and at 12, he was writing his own songs. Pardi had his first band at age 14, performing a mixture of classic rock and country, all the while polishing his live performance skills. Determined to make his dream of country music fame a reality, Pardi moved to Nashville at 22 years old, where his unique musical style gained the attention of Song Factory which led to a publishing contract, and later a record deal.
Last year, Pardi signed with the legendary Capitol Nashville, home to recording artists as varied and successful as Frank Sinatra, Garth Brooks, and Keith Urban. Pardi has shared the stage with Pat Green, Dierks Bentley and has opened for Luke Bryan's "Spring Break" tour and Eric Church "Blood, Sweat and Beers" tour. He has just finished the final touches on his debut album. Pardi's first single will be hitting radio stations nationwide this Spring.

Tropical Storm Iselle battered Hawaii with driving winds and rising surf on Friday, knocking down trees and causing power outages, the first of two major storms due to hit the archipelago as the more powerful Hurricane Julio gathered steam behind it.
More than 1200 people flocked to evacuation shelters across the Big Island, according to County of Hawaii Civil Defense, as heavy rains and strong winds pummelled areas of East Hawaii from the Puna area to the town of Hilo.
Hawaii Electric Light Company had about 5000 customers without power, mostly in East Hawaii, a Hawaii County official said.
With its eye still about 80 km south of Hilo, on the Big island, Iselle had weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm, packing maximum sustained winds near 110 kph, with higher gusts, the US Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
The storm could still bring waves of up to 8 metres on southeast-facing shores on the Big Island over the next few hours before passing south of the state's smaller islands, Central Pacific Hurricane Center meteorologist Tom Evans said.
''With a few hours before the centre making landfall we can still see that high surf on the southeast-facing shore of the Big Island,'' Evans said.
Farther east, Hurricane Julio had gained momentum and was expected to pass just north of Hawaii by late Monday.
That hurricane was upgraded late to a Category 3 storm, with maximum sustained winds increasing to near 195 kph, the National Hurricane Center said.
It was moving west-northwest at 26 kph and was expected to weaken on Saturday.
In anticipation of the rare back-to-back storms, Hawaii residents scrambled to stock up on supplies as state officials warned of the potential for flash floods, mudslides and power outages in the normally calm tourist haven.
Governor Neil Abercrombie signed an emergency proclamation freeing up funds and resources and authorities advised residents to prepare seven-day disaster supply kits and cautioned them against driving except in an emergency.
''Everybody knows that a real rough time is coming,'' Abercrombie told a news conference.
Hawaii's schools would be closed on Friday, but authorities planned to keep airports open so planes could land in an emergency although some airlines had cancelled flights, officials said.
Several shopping malls on Oahu would also be closed.
Malia Baron, an Oahu resident visiting the Big Island, known for its volcanoes, black-sand beaches and coffee farms, reported the weather as.
''Our power is out again. It's been on and off all evening and we were lucky enough to finish cooking before one of the longer outages,'' she said.
Election Plans
Power was out at the Olinda Water Treatment plant in a rural area of Maui, and officials told some 700 water customers to conserve water, County of Maui spokesman Rod Antone said.
Emergency officials also told residents in the area of the Puna Geothermal Venture plant in Pohoiki to stay indoors or evacuate to safe zones after a spill of poisonous hydrogen sulphide.
It was not immediately clear how serious the spill was.
Preparations for a primary election scheduled for Saturday continued, officials said, but added they would reassess how to proceed on Friday after Iselle hits.
On the Big Island, a downpour soaked customers who dashed from cars to the Sunshine True Value Hardware store in Kapaau only to discover shelves already picked clean of batteries, flashlights, duct tape and plywood.
Sales clerk Caryl Lindamood tried to stay cheerful.
''Mother Nature sure does like to stir things up for us, doesn't she?'' she said, joking about both the storms and a small 4.5 magnitude earthquake that struck the Big Island 19 km west of Waimea hours before.
Kailua-Kona resident Lisa Hummel, 44, said her family was filling water containers and stocking up on batteries, candles and flashlights, and planned to shelter in their basement when the hurricane arrives.
''We'll probably make a pot of chili and ride it out,'' she said.

Former Dighton-Rehoboth teacher accused of molestation
Updated On: Jan 08 2013 08:03:12 AM EST
A former teacher has been arrested, accused of child molestation.
Jesse Perry was arrested last week in Rhode Island on two counts of child sex abuse.
Perry retired last year as a 6th grade teacher in the Dighton-Rehoboth School District.
The Fall River man also coached youth sports in Bristol, R.I.
Perry is awaiting a bail hearing later this month.
In an unrelated case, Perry's brother, Richard, is also being held after being arrested on similar charges last month.
Richard Perry, a former youth football coach and Kickemuit Middle School discipline officer and custodian, faces four counts of child molestation.
He has pleaded not guilty.

Walbeck, 40, has been chosen as his league's manager of the year four times in six seasons. Altoona had an 82-60 record this season.
The Pirates offered no explanation for the move, but they have disciplined or fired other Minor League employees in the past for not following the organization's strictly enforced format for developing and instructing players.
"It caught me off guard," Walbeck told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I've always done the best I can, knowing that one day I'll get back to the big leagues. I hadn't decided yet what I wanted to do [next year]. The Pirates probably sensed that I wanted to advance and probably felt this is best for my development and growth."
Walbeck, the Texas Rangers' third base coach in 2008, was told there was no other job for him in the Pirates' organization. He has talked of wanting to manage above the Double-A level.

Life is looking like the ultra struggle for your boy Andrew Bynum these days. First, his friggin crop and now this!
Via TMZ:
NBA superstar Andrew Bynum is suing his next door neighbors, claiming they're violent, racist hooligans — but the neighbors have fired back … claiming Bynum is the REAL a-hole.
Bynum — a former member of the L.A. Lakers — claims that ever since he moved into his fancy home in Westchester, CA more than 7 years ago, he's been constantly harassed by his neighbors, Ramond and Cindy Beckett.
According to his lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Bynum says … the Becketts have objected to his "profession, his race, his friends, his cars and his taste in music."
Bynum claims the Becketts have behaved like petulant children — throwing coins at his Ferrari (which chipped the paint), screaming at him about his music, and even banging the side of his house with "a long stick."
But the Becketts quickly responded to the lawsuit with a countersuiit of their own — TRASHING Bynum as the neighbor from hell who only sued them to preemptively strike against the lawsuit they had been planning.
In their legal docs, the Becketts UNLOAD on the NBA star — claiming he's guilty of the following misdeeds:
– brandishing FIREARMS in an attempt to intimidate the Becketts
— "apparently" using drugs and allowing weed smoke to drift next door
— blasting loud, profane rap music (including the song "Currency" by Trina)
— blasting his video games at "window-shaking volumes"
— letting his dogs run loose through the neighborhood
— constantly racing his luxury cars at dangerous speeds
Bynum has denied the allegations … and according to docs filed by Andrew, the Becketts have sold their house since the lawsuit was filed … so they're no longer neighbors.
SMH. Who blasts video games to "window shaking" volumes??? SMH.

Costs mount but jobs open up as health care adopts new medical codes
Send this to a friend
- Margie Manning, Senior Staff Writer
Business benefit costs are likely to rise as health care providers and insurers transition to the first major overhaul of the medical coding system in more than 30 years.
But the shift to new codes — the 10th version of the International Classification of Diseases, dubbed ICD-10 — also could create thousands of jobs and improve individual care and public health by providing much more specific information about medical conditions.
Doctors, hospitals and health plans use the codes to determine reimbursement for diagnoses and procedures. There are about 17,000 codes in ICD-9, the current system, including 4,600 that are used regularly.
That would jump to 155,000 codes, including about 50,000 used regularly, in ICD-10, said Amanda Patanow, vice president of Doctors Administrative Solutions, a Tampa company that works with physician practices.
In 2009, the Department of Health and Human Services said that all U.S. payers and providers must fully transition to ICD-10 by Oct. 1, 2013. While that may seem a long way off, physician practices that aren't already deep into planning the switch may find themselves in trouble, Patanow said.
Adding up the costs
Insurers already are tallying the implementation costs.
A survey by the trade association America's Health Insurance Plans of 20 health insurance plans revealed an average per-member implementation cost of about $12, ranging from $38 for small health plans with less than 1 million members to $11 for large plans with more than 5 million members. Aetna (NYSE: AET), the second largest commercial health insurer in the Tampa Bay market, estimated its ICD-10 project costs would be about $60 million in 2010 alone, according to November filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

|Report: Four ATF Agents Working on Controversial Operation 'Fast and Furious' Tell their Story
|News Releases - General Info
|Written by Grassley Press
|Thursday, 16 June 2011 12:04
Agents say DOJ still being untruthful about efforts to let guns 'walk' into hands of drug cartels
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) today released a report, "The Department of Justice's Operation Fast and Furious: Accounts of ATF Agents." The report includes testimony from four Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agents offering firsthand accounts about the controversial Operation Fast and Furious that allowed suspects to walk away with illegally purchased guns. Two of the approximately 2,000 guns that ATF let criminals walk away with were found at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.
"ATF agents have shared chilling accounts of being ordered to stand down as criminals in Arizona walked away with guns headed for Mexican drug cartels," said Rep. Issa. "With the clinical precision of a lab experiment, the Justice Department kept records of weapons they let walk and the crime scenes where they next appeared. To agents' shock, preventing loss of life was not the primary concern.""These agents have risked their lives working for the ATF and they've risked their careers by coming forward to speak the truth about a dangerous strategy that was doomed from the start," Grassley said. "The report shows the street agents' perspective on this risky policy to let guns walk. It should help people who are wondering what really happened during Operation Fast and Furious understand why we are continuing to investigate.
Highlights of the report include:

Leaked Video Of Gen. Diya Oladipo Crying And Kneeling To Beg Sani Abacha For Forgiveness - Video
At 42:00 mins into the video General Diya Oladipo is seen in a video recording shown at the Oputa panel, kneeling and weeping before Gen, Sani Abacha.
Gen. Diya was crossed examined at the Human Rights Violation Commission (HRVIC) on the coup plan 1997 to overthrow Gen. Sanni Abacha, He bluntly denied the fact that he was part of the plan but he admitted he knew about the plan.
He further explained that he was afraid of being killed by the Coup Master Planner if he revealed the plan.
He denied pleading with Gen. Sanni Abacha, but was shocked to see the video where he truly knelt down before Gen. Sanni Abacha as tendered by the Lawyer.
Gen. Diya Oladipo then was appointed as Chief of Defense Staff. He was appointed Chief of General Staff in 1993 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994. In 1997 Diya and dissident soldiers in the military allegedly planned to overthrow the regime of Sani Abacha.
The alleged coup was uncovered by forces loyal to Abacha, and Diya and his cohorts were jailed. Diya was tried in a military tribunal, and was given the death penalty.

There are few aspects of life more thoroughly dominated by government than education. This is particularly true of educational innovation. Innovative programs and materials do often come from the private sector, but they are adopted only if government supports them.
In America, the term "innovation" is often exclusively attributed to the profitable successes of private businesses -- specifically big corporations like Apple, Google and Microsoft. But history has shown quite the opposite to be true.
There are now only 12 days left for Congress to reach an agreement to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff," yet Republicans are still insisting on a plan that will harm our economy and risks our ability to compete in the 21st century.

Ten: Bring additional clothes in preparation for multiple weather conditions. Most sporting events occur outdoors, and it is wise to bring clothing accommodations for any anticipated weather conditions. Sunscreen and a hat are also important to shield yourself from the sun's harmful rays. Crews Control DP, Steve McMillan said "When shooting golf, I always have my Tilley Hat."
Nine: When the production calls for a flypack, technical director, and switcher/ flypackmake sure you are asking the right questions in preparations. Are you recording ISO to camera? How long are the runs from camera to switcher? How are you recording off of the switcher? Are you doing a webcast off of the switcher?
Eight: Do you understand your media workflow? Sporting events don't always have a fixed time limit. If you are recording ISO to the camera, have a plan for transferring footage from the cards unless you happen to be shooting to tapes or optical discs. Consider hiring a Media Manager, or DIT, to be accountable during the event for the transfer of the footage from the cards to a hard drive.

Screenwriter Eric Roth ("Forrest Gump," "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") takes viewers inside his creative process in an exploration of where ideas come from.
.As an exercise in staging, Steven Soderberg looks at movies with the sound turned off and devoid of color. Here he gives Raiders the treatment – be sure to check out the link below to see the first Indiana Jones outing in black and white.
I'm assuming the phrase "staging" came out of the theatre world, but it's equally at home (and useful) in the movie world, since the term (roughly defined) refers to how all the various elements of a given scene or piece are aligned, arranged, and coordinated. In movies the role of editing adds something unique: the opportunity to extend and/or expand a visual (or narrative) idea to the limits of one's imagination—a crazy idea that works today is tomorrow's normal.
I value the ability to stage something well because when it's done well its pleasures are huge, and most people don't do it well, which indicates it must not be easy to master (it's frightening how many opportunities there are to do something wrong in a sequence or a group of scenes. Minefields EVERYWHERE. Fincher said it: there's potentially a hundred different ways to shoot something but at the end of the day there's really only two, and one of them is wrong). Of course understanding story, character, and performance are crucial to directing well, but I operate under the theory a movie should work with the sound off, and under that theory, staging becomes paramount (the adjective, not the studio. although their logo DOES appear on the front of this…)
So I want you to watch this movie and think only about staging, how the shots are built and laid out, what the rules of movement are, what the cutting patterns are. See if you can reproduce the thought process that resulted in these choices by asking yourself: why was each shot—whether short or long—held for that exact length of time and placed in that order? Sounds like fun, right? It actually is. To me. Oh, and I've removed all sound and color from the film, apart from a score designed to aid you in your quest to just study the visual staging aspect. Wait, WHAT? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS? Well, I'm not saying I'm like, ALLOWED to do this, I'm just saying this is what I do when I try to learn about staging, and this filmmaker forgot more about staging by the time he made his first feature than I know to this day (for example, no matter how fast the cuts come, you always know exactly where you are—that's high level visual math shit)

Here's a simple and incredibly inexpensive way of scanning slides with your cellphone.
1. Set phone camera to highest resolution.
2. Hold the phone in camera mode over some sharp, printed text.
3. Move the phone up and down to get the clearest, sharpest image at the minimum distance from the print. However, do not sacrifice clarity for minimum distance. Error on the side of clarity.
4. With a ruler, measure the distance from the print to the side of the phone facing the print.

Maria Popova digs into Herzog's book "A Guide for the Perplexed" for gems of wisdom and advice for the creative.
The best advice I can offer to those heading into the world of film is not to wait for the system to finance your projects and for others to decide your fate. If you can't afford to make a million-dollar film, raise $10,000 and produce it yourself. That's all you need to make a feature film these days. Beware of useless, bottom-rung secretarial jobs in film-production companies. Instead, so long as you are able-bodied, head out to where the real world is. Roll up your sleeves and work as a bouncer in a sex club or a warden in a lunatic asylum or a machine operator in a slaughterhouse. Drive a taxi for six months and you'll have enough money to make a film. Walk on foot, learn languages and a craft or trade that has nothing to do with cinema. Filmmaking — like great literature — must have experience of life at its foundation. Read Conrad or Hemingway and you can tell how much real life is in those books. A lot of what you see in my films isn't invention; it's very much life itself, my own life. If you have an image in your head, hold on to it because — as remote as it might seem — at some point you might be able to use it in a film. I have always sought to transform my own experiences and fantasies into cinema.

In this short doc about Frances Ha, acclaimed actress and director Sarah Polley gets real with Gerwig on the penetrating loneliness of New York City and how shitty it is to live an unstable life in your late 20s.

The Latest On Tomas Vokoun

Comments (0)
from Dan Rosen of NHL.com,
The Pittsburgh Penguins won't know how long goaltender Tomas Vokoun will be out until he visits with his doctors early next week, general manager Ray Shero said Friday. Vokoun had emergency surgery last week because of a blood clot in his pelvis.
Vokoun's agent, Allan Walsh, wrote on his Twitter account Friday that the goalie is expected to start light workouts next week.
"I met with Tomas [Thursday] and we'll have more of an update probably next week," Shero told NHL.com. "Fortunately for him he dodged a bullet. Luckily he was at the rink and we got him to the hospital so the procedures went well. We'll just have to wait and see what the next steps are going to be and go from there. Our concerns are just with him and his health, but it was good to see him [Thursday]."

CO hospitals' competition drives up cost of healthcare
Denver Post, April 30, 2012
The fierce battle for patients between Poudre Valley Health System and Banner Health is a glorious competition for quality and convenience across northern Colorado. Or it stands for all that is wrong with the careening spending in the U.S. health system. The competition is echoed across Colorado and the nation, as hospitals acquire, merge, build, affiliate and swallow doctor practices. Hospitals buy doctors and look more like insurance companies; insurers such as Kaiser build enough real estate to begin resembling hospital companies. And the overall cost of healthcare goes relentlessly upward.

Brits the most emotionally attached to their mobile phones
New research from the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB) reveals more than 6 in 10 Brits find it hard to imagine what life would be like without their mobile phone.
A survey conducted by research agency Crowd DNA for the IAB among consumers from the UK, US and South Korea found that Brits were the most emotionally connected to their mobile device. Sixty-one percent claimed they "couldn't live without their mobile" compared to 53% of Americans and 31% of South Koreans.
Mobile wallets, mobile optimized websites and cloud-based storage were the mobile technologies which appealed to all consumers the most in terms of what they are looking to in the future. Almost three quarters (75%) of UK consumers said mobile wallets were the most appealing new concept.
South Koreans were found to be far less satisfied with their mobile devices compared to Brits, 26% and 51% respectively.
These high rates demonstrate the increasing personal connections people have with their mobile phones and signals to brands and media owners that they, too, must make mobile an integral part of their strategy.
"By combining consumer research and industry expert opinion, we have a unique insight into what we can expect from mobile in the next couple of years," said the IAB's senior mobile manager, Alex Kozloff. "It surprised us to see that the UK was actually leading the way in tablet usage out of the countries we surveyed. This is further proof that advertisers and publishers must make mobile and tablets an integral part of their strategy."

More examples that the private sector does it better than the federal government. Everyone knew that Sandy was headed to the NortherEast and yet FEMA, barry and others sat back and waited until it had hit until moving things into place.
A more thought out plan would have been to stage those who would be needed just outside of the path of the storm. Just waiting to move into the areas affected. Yet they did not. Now FEMA is out of everything. The Red Cross is passing out hot chocolate and cookies. When they should be passing out clothes, and other needed items. You have the unions standing in the way of getting the power back on for those with out because the help that came is not a member of their local or some other one. All the while their neighbors and friends need power. Yep the federal government and barry rode to the rescue NOT!!!
