Article: Early-life influences on obesity: from preconception to adolescence: Early-life influences on obesity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The double burden of under- and overnutrition profoundly affects human health globally. According to the World Health Organization, obesity and diabetes rates have almost doubled worldwide since 1980, and, in 2011, more than 40 million children under 5 years of age were overweight. Ecologic factors, parental genetics and fitness, and the intrauterine environment significantly influence the likelihood of offspring developing the dysmetabolic diathesis of obesity. This report examines the effects of these factors, including preconception, intrauterine and postnatal energy balance affecting programming of transgenerational transmission, and development of chronic diseases later in life-in particular, diabesity and its comorbidities. © 2015 New York Academy of Sciences.Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 05/2015; DOI:10.1111/nyas.12778 · 4.31 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the possible influence of the Subdural Pharmacotherapy Device (SPD) on spatial memory in 3 adult, male bonnet macaques (Macaca radiata). The device was implanted in and above the subdural/subarachnoid space and cranium overlaying the right parietal/frontal cortex: a circuitry involved in spatial memory processing. A large test chamber, equipped with 4 baited and 4 non-baited food-ports at different locations, was used: reaches into empty food ports were counted as spatial memory errors. In this study of within-subject design, before SPD implantation (control) the animals made mean 373.3±114.9 (mean±SEM) errors in the first spatial memory test session. This value dropped to 47.7±18.4 by the 8(th) session. After SPD implantation and alternating cycles of transmeningeal saline delivery and local cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage in the implanted cortex the spatial memory error count, with the same port locations, was 33.0±12.2 during the first spatial memory test session, further decreasing to 5.7±3.5 by the 8(th) post-implantation session (P<0.001 for trend). Replacing transmeningeal saline delivery with similar delivery of the GABAA receptor agonist muscimol (1.0mM) by the SPD did not affect the animals' spatial memory performance, which in fact included at least one completely error-free session per animal over time. The study showed that complication-free implantation and use of the SPD over the parietal and frontal cortices for months leave spatial memory processes intact in nonhuman primates. Copyright © 2015.

ABSTRACT: Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a complex bariatric operation requiring meticulous surveillance which has impeded its broad adoption. Improvements in surgical care and technique, better teaching programs, and stringent norms for follow-up have contributed to increased safety of BPD for patients with BMI <50, achieving better long-term results than other bariatric operations. Here we report 20-year outcomes of 2615 consecutive patients (median 8) having open BPD with duodenal switch (DS) between 1992 and 2010. Chart of 92 % of patients with complete clinical, biochemical, and physical examinations completed before 2013 was reviewed. The research was conducted at Academic Medical Center, Quebec City. There was total mortality of 4.7 %, equivalent to that of the general population of Quebec. Incident diabetes (38.8 %) was cured in 93.4 % (blood glucose <6 mmol/l; HbA1c <6.5 %) with 4 % relapse rate after mean 9.6 years with no new cases. Dyslipidemia (24.2 %) was cured in 80 %. Hypertension (60 %) was cured in 64 % and improved in 31 %. Mean weight loss of 55.3 kg (71 % excess weight loss (EWL); 20 BMI units) was maintained for 5 to 20 years. Operative mortality was reduced from 1.3 % in 1992 to 0.2 % during 2005-2010, with cumulated rate surgical mortality of 0.5, revision rate 3, and reoperations in 13 %. Nutritional deficiencies were present in 2 % for calcium, iron, and vitamin A. Side effects were considered minor by the great majority of patients, rating global satisfaction as 4.5/5 (91 % "satisfied"). BPD deserves more consideration as a primary procedure for eligible patients in experienced centers with sufficient resources for delivering high-quality care and long-term follow-up.Obesity Surgery 02/2015; DOI:10.1007/s11695-015-1599-5 · 3.74 Impact Factor
Article: Influences of Gestational Obesity on Associations between Genotypes and Gene Expression Levels in Offspring following Maternal Gastrointestinal Bypass Surgery for Obesity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Whole-genome genotyping and gene expression analyses in blood of 22 BMS and 23 AMS offspring from 19 mothers were conducted using Illumina HumanOmni-5-Quad and HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChips, respectively. Using PLINK we analyzed interactions between offspring gene variations and maternal surgical status on offspring gene expression levels. Altered biological functions and pathways were identified and visualized using DAVID and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Significant interactions (p ≤ 1.22x10-12) were found for 525 among the 16,060 expressed transcripts: 1.9% of tested SNPs were involved. Gene function and pathway analysis demonstrated enrichment of transcription and of cellular metabolism functions and overrepresentation of cellular stress and signaling, immune response, inflammation, growth, proliferation and development pathways. We suggest that impaired maternal gestational metabolic fitness interacts with offspring gene variations modulating gene expression levels, providing potential mechanisms explaining improved cardiometabolic risk profiles of AMS offspring related to ameliorated maternal lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.PLoS ONE 01/2015; 10(1):e0117011.

Article: Feasibility of near-infrared spectroscopic tomography for intraoperative functional cerebral monitoring: A primate study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The wide-ranging manipulations to the cardiovascular system that frequently occur during cardiac surgery can expose the brain to variations in its blood supply that could prove deleterious. As a first step to developing a resource suitable for monitoring such changes, we detected the hemodynamic events induced in the brain of a primate model, using high-density near-infrared spectroscopy combined with tomographic reconstruction methods and validated the findings using established radiologic and histologic techniques. Continuous monitoring of the relative changes in the components of the cerebral hemoglobin signal was performed using high-density near-infrared spectroscopy (270 source-detector channel array) in anesthetized bonnet macaques with the brain exposed to induced ischemia and other acute events. A comparative analysis (exact binomial test) applied to reconstructed 3-dimensional images before and after the events and between cerebral hemispheres, combined with postprocedure magnetic resonance imaging, and postmortem histopathologic examination of the macaques' brains was performed to document and validate the spatial features revealed by the optical findings. Relative changes in the measured and calculated components of the hemoglobin signal, in response to the performed manipulations, revealed substantial concurrence among the reconstructed 3-dimensional images, magnetic resonance imaging of the macaques' brains, and postmortem histopathologic examination findings. Concurrence was seen when the manipulated hemoglobin concentration and associated oxygenation levels were either increased or decreased, and whether they were bilateral or restricted to a specified hemisphere. Continuous near-infrared spectroscopy tomography has been shown to accurately capture and localize cerebral ischemia, vasodilatation, and hemorrhage in primates in real time. These findings are directly applicable to clinical intraoperative functional cerebral monitoring. Copyright © 2014 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc.

Article: Biliopancreatic Diversion-Duodenal Switch: Independent Contributions of Sleeve Resection and Duodenal Exclusion[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The choice of first-stage operation in bilio-pancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) is controversial. There are no published long-term comparisons of one- and two-stage BPD-DS outcomes. During 2001-2009, among 1,762 patients scheduled for BPD-DS 48 had duodenal switch (DS) and 53 sleeve gastrectomy (SG) as first-stage procedures. We compared prospectively updated outcomes of 42 DS (100 % open) and 49 SG (88 % laparoscopic), 13 of whom completed their second stage, to a control group of 91 patients with open one-stage BPD-DS. One-year mean percent excess weight loss (%EWL) was greater after SG than DS (47 +/- 19 vs. 39 +/- 13 SD; p = 0.01) with earlier nadir (16 +/- 10 vs. 45 +/- 30 months; p < 0.0001) but more rapid significant weight regain. After 5 years, %EWL was 12 +/- 35 for 9 SG, 45 +/- 19 for 30 DS (p < 0.0006), and 70 +/- 18 for the first-stage BPD-DS (p < 0.0001). Weight loss was less after two- than one-stage procedures (p < 0.02). Comorbidities improved progressively between SG, DS and BPD-DS (p < 0.001 for trend). HbA1C decreased by 10, 19, and 31 %, respectively (p < 0.0001). Dyslipidemia was cured in 41, 82, and 100 %, respectively. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased only after DS (12 %; p < 0.0002). Patient satisfaction was similar for SG and DS but greater after BPD-DS overall (p = 0.04). SG and DS independently contribute to beneficial metabolic outcomes after BPD-DS. Long-term weight loss and correction of metabolic abnormalities were better after DS favoring its use as first stage in BPD-DS; one-stage BPD-DS outcomes were superior to two-staged.Obesity Surgery 05/2014; 24(11).

ABSTRACT: The 'obesity paradox' refers to observations that run counter to the thesis that normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2)) provides the lowest mortality and higher weight is associated with greater mortality. We argue that the weight of lowest mortality is influenced by aging and chronic disease, with mortality advantage extending into the overweight and even class I obese ranges under some circumstances. A focus on quality nutrition, physical activity, fitness, and maintaining function in these weight ranges may be preferable to a focus on intentional weight loss, which has uncertain effects. The 'obesity paradox' is no 'paradox' if one defines and interprets 'ideal' weight appropriately.International Journal of Obesity accepted article peview online, 15 April 2014. doi:10.1038/ijo.2014.59.International journal of obesity (2005) 04/2014; 39(1).

ABSTRACT: Body weight support (WS) during treadmill exercise is used to rehabilitate orthopedic/neurological patients. WS lowers musculoskeletal strain and load. It compresses the lower body and increases intrathoracic volume. We studied short-term effects of WS on wave reflection indices using applanation tonometry during progressive WS of 25%, 50%, and 75% of body weight in 25 healthy men. WS decreased mean heart rate from 79 to 69 beats/min (P < .001). Peripheral and central mean arterial, systolic, and pulse pressures (PP) remained unchanged. There was a trend toward lower peripheral and central diastolic pressure. PP amplification ratio decreased significantly (P = .005). Reflected wave characteristics: Augmented pressure and index increased in a stepwise manner with WS (both P < .001). Both ejection duration and systolic duration of the reflected pressure wave (Ätr) increased progressively (both P < .001). The round-trip travel time (Δtp) was unchanged. Left ventricular workload and oxygen demand: Left ventricular wasted pressure energy increased (P < .001), and the subendocardial viability ratio decreased (P = .005), whereas the tension time index remained unchanged. In normal men, WS acutely decreases the PP amplification ratio, increases the amplitude and duration of the reflected aortic pressure wave, and increases measures of wasted left ventricular pressure energy and oxygen demand.Journal of the American Society of Hypertension (JASH) 03/2014; 8(6).

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated an inverse relationship between both dentate gyrus neurogenesis - a form of neuroplasticity - and expression of the antiapoptotic gene marker, BCL-2 and adult macaque body weight. We therefore explored whether a similar inverse correlation existed in humans between body mass index (BMI) and hippocampal N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), a marker of neuronal integrity and putatively, neuroplasticity. We also studied the relationship of a potentially neurotoxic process, worry, to hippocampal NAA in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and control subjects (CS). We combined two previously studied cohorts of GAD and control subjects. Using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging ((1)H MRSI) in medication-free patients with GAD (n = 29) and a matched healthy control group (n = 22), we determined hippocampal concentrations of (1) NAA (2) choline containing compounds (CHO), and (3) Creatine + phosphocreatine (CR). Data were combined from 1.5 T and 3 T scans by converting values from each cohort to z-scores. Overweight and GAD diagnosis were used as categorical variables while the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) and Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) were used as dependent variables. Overweight subjects (BMI ≥ 25) exhibited lower NAA levels in the hippocampus than normal-weight subjects (BMI < 25) (partial Eta-squared = 0.14) controlling for age, sex and psychiatric diagnosis, and the effect was significant for the right hippocampus in both GAD patients and control subjects. An inverse linear correlation was noted in all subjects between right hippocampal NAA and BMI. High scores on the PSWQ predicted low hippocampal NAA and CR. Both BMI and worry were independent inverse predictors of hippocampal NAA. Overweight was associated with reduced NAA concentrations in the hippocampus with a strong effect size. Future mechanistic studies are warranted.01/2014; 4:326-35. DOI:10.1016/j.nicl.2013.12.014
Article: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 as Predictor of Body Mass Index and Dentate Gyrus Neurogenesis: Neuroplasticity and the Metabolic Milieu[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) regulates carbohydrate metabolism and promotes neurogenesis. We reported an inverse correlation between adult body mass and neurogenesis in nonhuman primates. Here we examine relationships between physiological levels of the neurotrophic incretin, plasma GLP-1 (pGLP-1), and body mass index (BMI) in adolescence to adult neurogenesis and associations with a diabesity diathesis and infant stress. Morphometry, fasting pGLP-1, insulin resistance, and lipid profiles were measured in early adolescence in 10 stressed and 4 unstressed male bonnet macaques. As adults, dentate gyrus neurogenesis was assessed by doublecortin staining. High pGLP-1, low body weight, and low central adiposity, yet peripheral insulin resistance and high plasma lipids, during adolescence were associated with relatively high adult neurogenesis rates. High pGLP-1 also predicted low body weight with, paradoxically, insulin resistance and high plasma lipids. No rearing effects for neurogenesis rates were observed. We replicated an inverse relationship between BMI and neurogenesis. Adolescent pGLP-1 directly predicted adult neurogenesis. Two divergent processes relevant to human diabesity emerge—high BMI, low pGLP-1, and low neurogenesis and low BMI, high pGLP-1, high neurogenesis, insulin resistance, and lipid elevations. Diabesity markers putatively reflect high nutrient levels necessary for neurogenesis at the expense of peripheral tissues.01/2014; 2014(9). DOI:10.1155/2014/917981
Article: Methylation and Expression of Immune and Inflammatory Genes in the Offspring of Bariatric Bypass Surgery Patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background. Maternal obesity, excess weight gain and overnutrition during pregnancy increase risks of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease in the offspring. Maternal biliopancreatic diversion is an effective treatment for severe obesity and is beneficial for offspring born after maternal surgery (AMS). These offspring exhibit lower severe obesity prevalence and improved cardiometabolic risk factors including inflammatory marker compared to siblings born before maternal surgery (BMS). Objective. To assess relationships between maternal bariatric surgery and the methylation/expression of genes involved in the immune and inflammatory pathways. Methods. A differential gene methylation analysis was conducted in a sibling cohort of 25 BMS and 25 AMS offspring from 20 mothers. Following differential gene expression analysis (23 BMS and 23 AMS), pathway analysis was conducted. Correlations between gene methylation/expression and circulating inflammatory markers were computed. Results. Five immune and inflammatory pathways with significant overrepresentation of both differential gene methylation and expression were identified. In the IL-8 pathway, gene methylation correlated with both gene expression and plasma C-reactive protein levels. Conclusion. These results suggest that improvements in cardiometabolic risk markers in AMS compared to BMS offspring may be mediated through differential methylation of genes involved in immune and inflammatory pathways.Journal of obesity 06/2013; 2013:492170.

Article: Differential methylation in glucoregulatory genes of offspring born before vs. after maternal gastrointestinal bypass surgery.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity and overnutrition during pregnancy affect fetal programming of adult disease. Children born after maternal bariatric gastrointestinal bypass surgery (AMS) are less obese and exhibit improved cardiometabolic risk profiles carried into adulthood compared with siblings born before maternal surgery (BMS). This study was designed to analyze the impact of maternal weight loss surgery on methylation levels of genes involved in cardiometabolic pathways in BMS and AMS offspring. Differential methylation analysis between a sibling cohort of 25 BMS and 25 AMS (2-25 y-old) offspring from 20 mothers was conducted to identify biological functions and pathways potentially involved in the improved cardiometabolic profile found in AMS compared with BMS offspring. Links between gene methylation and expression levels were assessed by correlating genomic findings with plasma markers of insulin resistance (fasting insulin and homeostatic model of insulin resistance). A total of 5,698 genes were differentially methylated between BMS and AMS siblings, exhibiting a preponderance of glucoregulatory, inflammatory, and vascular disease genes. Statistically significant correlations between gene methylation levels and gene expression and plasma markers of insulin resistance were consistent with metabolic improvements in AMS offspring, reflected in genes involved in diabetes-related cardiometabolic pathways. This unique clinical study demonstrates that effective treatment of a maternal phenotype is durably detectable in the methylome and transcriptome of subsequent offspring.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 05/2013; DOI:10.1073/pnas.1216959110 · 9.81 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Populations of many countries are becoming increasingly overweight and obese, driven largely by excessive calorie intake and reduced physical activity; greater body mass is accompanied by epidemic levels of comorbid metabolic diseases. At the same time, individuals are living longer. The combination of aging and the increased prevalence of metabolic disease is associated with increases in aging-related comorbid diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular dementia, and sarcopenia. Here, correlative and causal links between diseases of overnutrition and diseases of aging and cognition are explored.Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences 05/2013; DOI:10.1111/nyas.12138 · 4.31 Impact Factor

Article: Defining and Predicting Complete Remission of Type 2 Diabetes: A Short-Term Efficacy Study of Open Gastric Bypass[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the metabolic effects of open Roux-en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on pancreatic endocrine reserve in overweight/obese Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes during postoperative year 1. Methods: Retrospective analysis comparing pre- and postoperative results of oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) with determinations of insulin and C-peptide, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and BMI at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months in 99 overweight patients (BMI 26.3 ± 4.0 kg/m(2); 59 men) with type 2 diabetes at the General Hospital of Chengdu Military Region. Results: 79 patients (80%) achieved complete remission (maintaining random blood glucose levels < 11.1 mmol/l, fasting blood glucose levels < 7.0 mmol/l, 2-hour OGTT blood glucose levels < 11.1 mmol/l, and glycated hemoglobin < 6.5%). Nine cases (9%) were 'improved' (reduced medication or diet controlled blood sugar), and 11 cases did not meet either criterion ('unchanged'). Patients in complete remission were younger and heavier, more often men, had significantly shorter history of diabetes (4.3 ± 3.8 years vs. 7.6 ± 3.8 years, p < 0.05), and exhibited significantly higher fasting and OGTT levels of C-peptide and insulin, and HOMA-IR than the other 2 groups (p < 0.05-0.01). Conclusion: Open gastric bypass achieved complete remission of type 2 diabetes in Chinese overweight/obese, heavier, younger, predominantly male patients with shorter duration of disease exhibiting greater pancreatic endocrine reserve.

ABSTRACT: This opinionated evidence-based selective review addresses flawed concepts related to "obesity", bariatric surgery and approaches to treatment and prevention of a dysmetabolic syndrome of overnutrition and underactivity from the perspective of developmental origins of diseases prevalent in mid-life and beyond. Innovations focus on methods affecting appetite regulation and energy expenditure applicable throughout the life-cycle on the individual level but with transgenerational population-wide implications. Readers can expect new knowledge and enhanced understanding of a global health problem: "diabesity".Maturitas 01/2013; 77(3). DOI:10.1016/j.maturitas.2013.12.004 · 2.86 Impact Factor

Elizabeth Truss never rebelled against their party in this parliament
One hundred and sixty-one schemes are due to start this financial year, as part of our £2.3 billion, six-year programme, which will protect an additional 300,000 properties by 2021. That represents a real-terms increase in flood investment.
Like my hon. Friend, I am a huge fan of internal drainage boards. We have some fantastic drainage boards in Norfolk and I have visited the internal drainage boards in Boston. I want internal drainage boards to work closely with the Environment Agency to continue to protect homes and farmland. I would like this model to be rolled out across the country.
I completely agree with the hon. Lady that investment in flood defences is an economic opportunity. Our six-year programme will result in the generation of £30 billion of economic value. We are committed to looking at the Humber plans and are due to report back on them in July.

November 24, 2013
It is deeply troubling that the decision to introduce women as bishops in the Church of England was made in a kind of political vacuum, utterly divorced from discussing the theological and doctrinal imperatives, justifications and implications for the change, and taking into account only the "trends and priorities of wider society". It is especially astonishing that such a momentous decision was reached with almost no reference to what Scriptures, the Church Fathers and Mothers, ecumenical councils, or the writings of divers Saints had to say on women's role in the Church. Yet, following recent developments in the Church, it is sadly unsurprising that those pushing for this change did not bother to ask themselves "What do the Scriptures, holy tradition, and the Saints say on this subject?" The only real concerns in the minds of many, certainly the current and former Archbishops of Canterbury and the Prime Minister, seem to have been over questions of relevancy, public opinion, and political pressure.
November 22, 2013
Is the goal of any Church simply to "ensure its place" as "modern", or perceived as relevant to the ever-changing norms of the society in which it exists? In their eagerness to ensure that the Church of England maintains its established position by catering to the changing tides of a public opinion largely ignorant of Christian theology and history, those pushing for these reforms seem unaware that a Church which so compromises and alters its doctrines will have little remaining authority in society to speak certain truths to it. A Church which shows itself willing to operate as a malleable institution obsessed with perceptions of relevancy and keeping its privileged status cannot inspire much devotion in its people, nor will political society or public opinion respect it as an authoritative national voice when it has surrendered all authority that contradicts or challenges them.

But I most certainly DO credit PEDIGREE with being so forthcoming (while some pet food companies even delay placing recall notices on their websites). From a PEDIGREE spokesperson here is the explanation for the recall, "A conveyor belt broke in our plant, and small pieces of the belt entered the food during the production process. The pieces are made of a hard plastic – so that's why we are citing choking hazard. (BTW - we resolved the issue by replacing the conveyor with a redesigned drive mechanism.)"
Franklin, Tennessee (June 30, 2012)– Today, Mars Petcare US announced a voluntary recall of a limited range of three varieties of PEDIGREE® weight management canned dog food products due to a potential choking risk.
Affected product may contain small pieces of blue plastic, which entered the food during the production process. The source of the plastic has been identified and the issue resolved. We encourage consumers who have purchased affected product to discard the food or return it to the retailer for a full refund or exchange. While a small number of consumers have reported finding the plastic pieces, we have not received any reports of injury or illness associated with the affected product. The lot codes indicated below should not be sold or consumed.
Affected product was distributed to retail customers throughout the United States. Mars Petcare US is working with all of our distributors and retail customers to ensure that the recalled products are no longer sold and are removed from inventory.
Recalled Pet Food Only cans of PEDIGREE® weight management canned dog food varieties with the production codes shown below are included in this voluntary recall. Each product will have a lot code printed on the end of the can that begins with 209, 210, 211 or 212 and a Best Before date that falls between 2/24/2014 and 3/23/2014.
No other PEDIGREE® products are affected, including any other variety of wet food, dry dog food, or dog treats.
At Mars Petcare US, we take our responsibility to pets and their owners seriously. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by this recall. Pet owners who have questions about the recall should call 1-877-720-3335 or visit HERE.

PR Newswire
MENLO PARK, Calif., March 5, 2013
MENLO PARK, Calif., March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Thirteen percent of Seattle-area chief information officers (CIOs) surveyed recently plan to expand their IT teams in the second quarter of 2013, according to the just-released Robert Half Technology IT Hiring Forecast and Local Trend Report. In addition, 67 percent of Seattle CIOs plan to hire only to fill open IT roles, 16 percent have put hiring plans on hold, and 3 percent expect to reduce their IT staff. This is the first quarter that Robert Half has conducted a survey of this kind specific to Seattle.
Q2 Seattle IT Hiring Forecast
CIOs adding more staff to IT departments
CIOs planning to hire only for open IT roles
CIOs who plan to put IT hiring plans on hold
CIOs who plan to reduce their IT staff
Don't know future hiring plans
*Numbers may not total 100 percent due to rounding.
"With an extremely low unemployment rate for tech professionals, companies are recognizing that they need to move fast to secure top IT talent, especially in the areas of development, help desk and desktop support," said Ester Frey, Seattle regional vice president of Robert Half Technology. "Hiring activity has been strongest within the healthcare, e-commerce and professional services sectors."
The IT Hiring Forecast and Local Trend Report is based on telephone interviews with more than 100 CIOs from companies in the Seattle area with 100 or more employees. The survey was developed by Robert Half Technology and conducted by an independent research firm. In order for the study to ensure that companies from all segments were represented, the sample was stratified by number of employees. The results were then weighted to reflect the proper number of employees in the greater metropolitan Seattle area. Robert Half Technology is a leading provider of IT professionals on a project and full-time basis and has been tracking IT hiring activity in the United States since 1995.
Recruiting Challenges
In terms of recruiting, 64 percent of Seattle CIOs said it's somewhat or very challenging to find skilled IT professionals today. It is most challenging to find skilled talent in the functional areas of data/database management (19 percent), networking (13 percent) and help desk/technical support (12 percent).
Confidence in Business Growth and IT Investments
The survey results suggest that Seattle CIOs are optimistic about their companies' growth and IT investments. Eighty-four percent of CIOs reported being somewhat or very confident in their companies' prospects for growth in the second quarter of 2013.
Seventy-two percent of CIOs also said they were confident that their firms would invest in IT projects in the second quarter of 2013.
Skills in Demand
Among the Seattle technology executives surveyed, 51 percent said that database management is the skill set in greatest demand within their IT department. Desktop support and network administration followed, with 48 percent and 45 percent of the response, respectively.

Day Trip: Montserrat, Barcelona
41 Reviews
41 Reviews
Some of the most interesting places are on a day trip from Barcelona. Consider visiting Montserrat, a monastery on a mountaintop. It's quite spectacular and you can get some amazing pictures there.
The train ride from Barcelona to Montserrat is quite enjoyable. Surprisingly, it feels very secluded in Montserrat even with the tourists that are there.
The food is also a surprise. There is a self-serve cafeteria which serves great baguette sandwiches. A full-serve restaurant is another option and they'll serve you a very typical appetizer: bread and garlic cloves. Do it yourself garlic bread...
There's lots of opportunities for hiking. If you're afraid of heights, you might hesitate because you have to take cable cars but the rides are not very long. It's worth it!
The monastery itself isn't the high point for me but it does have a statue of the 'black virgin'...which is important as a local religious icon. As the monastery was built in the 11th century, I did get a picture of me next to the stone engraving showing the original date.
Allow a full day to really have time to enjoy yourself in Montserrat.
An excellent side trip which can be done in a day is MONTSERRAT. Montserrat, a special place because it is a unique naural environment and religious center, and because of the art found there. Montserrat is home to the Sancituary of Our Lady and the Benedictine monastery, which has for almost 1,000 years, served all the pilgrims and visitors who come to this unusual mountain.
Easily reached from Barcelona by train. Purchase the pass which is all inclusive of train, cable car and funiculars.
This is a truely enjoyable place where everyone's heart will be touched by it beauty and senerity.
One of the most beautiful Cathedrals is located here high above what seems like the world.........
We didn't plan to visit this place because of the lack of time. But providence made it happen (I love when it happens this way! If you have such a stories from your travel or life, please share them with me.) As I mentioned before we couldn't go to Andorra because of the snowfall, so we were on our way back to Barcelona. Suddenly I noticed the beautiful mountains on the distance and from road signs learned it was Montserrat. It was evening already, but we decided to go. We were blessed with the breathtaking view and mystical place.
An hour north by train is the monastery at Monserrat. The monastery is at the top of a small mountain that looks like serrated teeth, and the views are to die for! The usual way to get to the top is by a steep cable car that hugs the mountain; the terminus is right near the train station. There is also a small museum worth visiting. You can walk or take another cable car to the tippy top of the adjacent 'tooth'; it's even steeper than the first.
Do not miss going to Monserrat. We went there by train. We bought a day ticket, including train journey, rides on all cable-cars and a good lunch in a fine restaurant from the train station. It turned out to be the best bargain in our holiday.
If time allows, you should take a trip to Montserrat. It's just about an hour outside of Barcelona and can be reached by taking the metro and connecting to the Ferrocarrils. The ride on the funicular is included in the price of the train ticket.
If you can, you should try to visit the monastery on Sundays, that's when the choir boys perform their chanting with the monks. It's sort of like a highlight of the monastery and it attracts lots of people there (especially locals) on that day.
When people come to spend some time in or around Barcelona, they sometimes forget to discover the outskirts of the city. About 50kms (50miles) NE of Barcelona is the town of Montserrat. This Medevial & Religious location is a MUST for anyone who loves scenery & music. Here you will not only see the Statue of The Black Madonna,( Jesus & his Mother Mary), but also hear the beautiful and angelic voice of the Boys Choir in the Monestery in Montserrat. These boys range from the age of 10 to 14 years of age and come from all parts of the world to get their schooling and singing training(all in Spanish) here. This place will leave you totally spellbound. There are also accomodations here in this town 10,000ft above sea level. On a clear day you can see out into the Meditteranian Sea from here.
When visiting Montserrat, my favorite part was hiking up the mountain on the paths. The funiculares which take people up the side of the mountain were out of order due to recent flooding, so we climbed the mountain on foot. What an experience! It was wonderful. Hard work, but worth it. Every so often we stopped at a shrine that had been built by the monks. The one pictured here is called St. Joan. We had a picnic lunch at one of the resting spots at the beginning of the trail. We didn't get to hike up as far as Sant Jerónim, apparently the most spectacular views of all, due to time constraints. I'd love to visit again!
This isn't necessarily off the beaten path, but this is a day trip that no one should miss when visiting Barcelona. Allow yourself an entire day to visit Montserrat in the mountains. Go to the metro stop at Plaza Espanya and take a train to Montserrat from there. When buying your round-trip ticket, you'll get not only the train ticket, but also a ticket for the cable car up to the mountain, and the funiculares that go up the side of the mountain. Check the departure times of the cable car when you arrive so that you are not stranded on the mountain. There are three hotels on the mountain, if you choose to stay. Visit the usual sites, such as the basilica and museum, then put on your hiking shoes and hit the trails. You can walk for hours up the mountain. Here's a useful web site: http://travel.roughguides.com/content/2604/6708.htm
Montserrat is a good destination for a day trip from Barcelona!!!!
For more info about Montserrat, look at the corrsponding page Monserrat
The legend says that a villager had a vision of Virgin Mary here in 9th century. A monastery was buid in 11 century.
