Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been accredited by the Joint Commission, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality healthcare services. This voluntary accreditation signifies that the hospital's efforts to provide highest-quality healthcare have received professional and national recognition through stringent evaluation and consultation from the Joint Commission.
For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients and their families. Mid-Columbia was the first Alliance affiliate to adopt and embrace, hospital-wide, Planetree's philosophy of patient-centered care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the Planetree vision into its facility.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been recognized for its outstanding commitment to performance excellence and has received the Oregon Quality Award, which is based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The award is given to industry leaders who have achieved outstanding performance evaluations in leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources, process management and organizational outcomes.
Celilo has received the highest-possible rating by the independent organization that surveys and evaluates cancer centers nationwide, The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2013 Celilo received accreditation "with commendation."
Celilo's overall approval rating indicates that, after a thorough examination of 36 standards of care and reporting, a CoC surveyor found zero deficiencies. Approval with commendation is an even loftier citation that means Celilo staff also eclipsed CoC standards in each of nine additional measurements.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center was named as one of seven Oregon companies to demonstrate outstanding commitment to families and community. The Families in Good Company Award is a reflection of Mid-Columbia's dedication to helping employees manage work and family demands, with such benefits as flexible work schedules, job sharing, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, on-site child care and wellness programs.

Hi there, hoping someone here can help me out.
I am working on a custom home page template where we'd like to embed the most recent podcast's audio player below the excerpt of the post, so they can listen directly from the website's homepage without having to click through.
I am using the following code to accomplish this so far, but have been unable to figure out how to call the audio player itself, in spite of copying and pasting the code from the single-podcast.php template file.
<?php $query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type'=>'podcast', 'taxonomy'=>'featured', 'posts_per_page' => 1 ) );
while ($query->have_posts()) : $query->the_post();?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php printf(__('Posted <time class="updated" datetime="%1$s" pubdate>%2$s</time> by %3$s & filed under %4$s.', 'bonestheme'), get_the_time('Y-m-j'), get_the_time(get_option('date_format')), bones_get_the_author_posts_link(), get_the_category_list(', ')); ?>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'enclosure', true) ?>">Download Audio
Duration: <?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'duration', true) ?> | Size: <?php echo get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'filesize', true) ?>

Obviously I figure out how to call the custom meta data, but I can't seem to get any of that to become the embedded player. Is there some class or ID that the script looks for specifically? I am working on examining the plugin code in more depth, but my functional PHP is still a work in progress.
Thanks in advance!

NIST Ytterbium Atomic Clocks Set Record for Stability
A pair of experimental atomic clocks based on ytterbium atoms at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has set a new record for stability. The clocks act like 21st-century pendulums or metronomes that could swing back and forth with perfect timing for a period comparable to the age of the universe.
NIST physicists report in the Aug. 22 issue of Science Express that the ytterbium clocks' tick is more stable than any other atomic clock.* Stability can be thought of as how precisely the duration of each tick matches every other tick. The ytterbium clock ticks are stable to within less than two parts in 1 quintillion (1 followed by 18 zeros), roughly 10 times better than the previous best published results for other atomic clocks.
This dramatic breakthrough has the potential for significant impacts not only on timekeeping, but also on a broad range of sensors measuring quantities that have tiny effects on the ticking rate of atomic clocks, including gravity, magnetic fields, and temperature. And it is a major step in the evolution of next-generation atomic clocks under development worldwide, including at NIST and at JILA, the joint research institute operated by NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder.
"The stability of the ytterbium lattice clocks opens the door to a number of exciting practical applications of high-performance timekeeping," NIST physicist and co-author Andrew Ludlow says.
Each of NIST's ytterbium clocks relies on about 10,000 rare-earth atoms cooled to 10 microkelvin (10 millionths of a degree above absolute zero) and trapped in an optical lattice—a series of pancake-shaped wells made of laser light. Another laser that "ticks" 518 trillion times per second provokes a transition between two energy levels in the atoms. The large number of atoms is key to the clocks' high stability.
The ticks of any atomic clock must be averaged for some period to provide the best results. One key benefit of the very high stability of the ytterbium clocks is that precise results can be achieved very quickly. For example, the current U.S. civilian time standard, the NIST-F1 cesium fountain clock, must be averaged for about 400,000 seconds (about five days) to achieve its best performance. The new ytterbium clocks achieve that same result in about one second of averaging time.
Given this high level of stability the ytterbium clocks can make measurements extremely rapidly—in real time in many cases—which could be important in rapidly changing application settings, such as the factory floor and the natural environment.
A key advance enabling the milestone performance of the ytterbium clocks was the recent construction of a second version of the clock to measure and improve the performance of the original, developed since 2003. Along the way, NIST scientists have made several improvements to both clocks, including the development of an ultra-low-noise laser used to excite the atoms, and the discovery of a method to cancel disruptive effects caused by collisions between atoms.
The ytterbium clocks' stability record is different from the performance levels previously publicized for NIST-F1, which is traceable to the international system of units, and NIST experimental optical clocks based on single ions, such as the aluminum quantum logic clock or the mercury ion clock.** NIST-F1 and the ion clocks were evaluated based on systematic uncertainty, another important metric for standard atomic clocks. NIST-F1's performance is described in terms of accuracy, which refers to how closely the clock realizes the cesium atom's known frequency, or natural vibration rate. Accuracy is crucial for time measurements that must be traced to a primary standard.
NIST scientists plan to measure the accuracy of the ytterbium clocks in the near future, and the accuracy of other high performance optical atomic clocks is under study at NIST and JILA. The research is funded in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Knowing Exposure Risks Important to Saving Structures from Wildfires
A recent study of one of California's most devastating wildland fires by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) strongly suggests that measures for reducing structural damage and property loss from wildland urban interface (WUI)* fires are most effective when they are based on accurate assessments of exposure risks both for individual structures and the community as a whole.
The report also describes how the NIST-USFS WUI Hazard Scale provides a state-of-the-art tool for making such assessments and how that data could be linked to improved building codes, standards and practices that will help communities better resist the threat of wildfires.
The Witch Creek/Guejito WUI fire (commonly known as the Witch Fire) was the largest of a series of wildfires that began burning across Southern California on Oct. 20, 2007. It affected areas north and northeast of San Diego, starting in Witch Creek Canyon near Santa Ysabel and quickly spreading westward toward the coast because of strong Santa Ana winds. The Witch Fire burned some 80,000 hectares (nearly 200,000 acres), destroyed more than 1,600 structures, caused an estimated $1.8 billion in property damages and cost $18 million to fight. It also was responsible for two civilian deaths and 39 firefighter injuries.
A NIST-USFS WUI team worked in collaboration with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) and the City of San Diego to collect post-incident data within the Witch Fire perimeter. The team focused its effort on The Trails development at Rancho Bernardo, north of San Diego. There were 274 homes in The Trails, with 245 within the fire perimeter. Seventy-four homes were completely destroyed and 16 were partly damaged. Field measurements made by the NIST team included structure particulars, specifically roof type; proximity of combustibles to the structure; and damage to wildland and residential vegetation. Documentation included more than 11,000 photographs.
The data collected and analyzed were used in two separate NIST-USFS reports. The first, issued in 2009, created a detailed timeline of the Witch Fire, tracked its impact on the community, and documented defensive actions taken by homeowners and first responders. The latest study evaluates the effectiveness of those mitigation techniques addressing exposure risks—as defined by the WUI Hazard Scale—associated with direct fire contact and ignition by embers.
"This is the first time anyone has looked at wildfire impact by evaluating pre-event exposure risks throughout an entire community and how those risks affected the defensive actions that were in place," says Alexander Maranghides, lead author of both Witch Fire reports.
What the researchers found was that the majority of defensive strategies used in The Trails were effective and that the level of effectiveness was correlated to fire and ember exposure. Damage and destruction were more prevalent in structures assessed by the WUI Hazard Scale as having been at highest risk from fire and embers. Accordingly, defensive actions were more than twice as effective in saving structures in low-exposure sections of the community as compared to high-risk areas.
Maranghides says that a pre-event knowledge of exposure risks also may be helpful in determining how firefighters attack a WUI fire. "Our data show that it's probably best to fight fires in low-exposure areas because there's a greater chance that they can be suppressed and with less danger to the crews," he explains. "It may be better to sacrifice structures in high-exposure areas than risk the loss of firefighter lives in unwinnable situations."

Air Conditioner "Evolves" in Novel NIST Study
Played out on a computer over hundreds of generations, a survival-of-the-fittest programming method adapted by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers has spawned, of all things, the design for a more efficient rooftop air-conditioning system.
The evolutionary tack optimized the sequence of connections within the snaking arrangement of cooling tubes in the air conditioner's heat exchanger. The unit's U.S. manufacturer subsequently implemented the changes as a prototype for NIST. The computer-generated design yielded a 3 percent gain in overall performance, confirming the results of prior analysis by NIST researchers.
That amount of improvement could be enough for a manufacturer to achieve compliance with increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards. It also could translate into material savings—a reduction in the amount of costly copper tubing in a heat exchanger without sacrificing performance.
"What we're doing is identifying the best possible route through the heat exchanger for the refrigerant to follow so that it achieves the highest efficiency" explains NIST researcher David Yashar. "Given that the unit we studied has 144 tubes, the number of possible routes determined by a sequence of tube connections is astronomical, impossible for a human to explore using traditional methods."
The new NIST approach optimizes the connections among refrigerant-containing tubes so that maximum cooling occurs. This entails matching characteristics of incoming air, especially its temperature and velocity, with the temperature and other characteristics of the refrigerant.
"The objective is to optimally pair air and refrigerant at every location in the heat exchanger," Yashar explains. That kind of matchmaking can be extraordinarily difficult, he says, largely because the flow of air over the winding circuitry often is very uneven.
The proof-of-concept experiment* with the rooftop unit—like the ones used to cool office and apartment buildings—demonstrated the practical utility of the NIST approach of combining principles of engineering with those of natural evolution.
Yashar and colleague Sunil Lee first used a laser-based method to map how much and how fast air flows over the original refrigerant circuitry. These data were grist for a NIST computer model that simulates heat-exchanger performance. The team used this model with an algorithm that mimics the laws of evolution. The algorithm develops a population of tubing arrangements and the model evaluates the performance of each design in the population. The best potential tubing circuitries from one population served as the starting set for the next generation. After the number-crunching for several hundred generations of circuitry options was completed, a top choice emerged.
The ultimate solution was a circuitry design that increased the heat exchanger's potential cooling capacity by 8 percent and, when used to replace the existing design, boosted the entire system's energy efficiency by 3 percent.
In upcoming studies, the NIST researchers will test their optimization method on a window air-conditioning unit and a full-house, central air-conditioning system.

Limestone Powder Enhances Performance of 'Green' Concrete
Adding limestone powder to "green" concrete mixtures—those containing substantial amounts of fly ash, a byproduct of coal-burning power plants—can significantly improve performance, report* researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The promising laboratory results suggest a path to greatly increasing the use of fly ash in concrete, leading to sizable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, construction costs and landfill volumes. Global production of cement for concrete accounts for 5 to 8 percent of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
Currently, fly ash accounts, on average, for about 15 percent of the binder powders in the ready-made concrete used in the United States. To produce a more green concrete, NIST is researching new material combinations and procedures that could help the industry use fly ash to routinely replace 40 to 50 percent of the ordinary portland cement (OPC), the main binding and hardening agent in concrete.
Because of delays in setting times and questions about its strength in the first few days after application that both "impact its constructability," says NIST chemical engineer Dale Bentz, "green concrete has been a tough sell in large parts of the construction industry." However, Bentz and his FHWA colleagues found that a "judicious combination of fine limestone powder" can help to put these concerns to rest.
So-called high-volume fly ash "ternary" mixtures (including some limestone) that replace between 40 percent and 60 percent of the cement portion not only set at rates comparable to those for typical concrete, but also were superior in terms of key properties.
Initially, the strength of the green concrete mixtures after 28 days slightly lagged that of concrete without any fly ash. However, the team was able to tweak their fly ash-limestone-OPC mixture to overcome the gap, primarily by lowering the water-to-powder ratio and switching to a different standard composition of OPC (ASTM Type III).
Today, global production of OPC totals about 3.5 billion metric tons (3.85 billion tons) annually. Generation of each ton of OPC emits about a ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
Greater use of high-volume fly ash mixtures could significantly reduce this environmental burden and, at the same time, reduce costs for concrete construction, says Bentz.
For Bentz and his team, the next research challenge is to test their limestone-enhanced mixtures in the field, where curing conditions can vary.

Power of 10: Organizations Move Closer to 2013 Baldrige Award
Ten U.S. organizations are this year's top candidates for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the nation's highest recognition for organizational performance excellence. The Baldrige Panel of Judges selected eight organizations in the health care category, one in education and one nonprofit for the final review stage for the 2013 award. Starting this month, teams of experts will make site visits to these organizations to clarify questions and verify information submitted in award applications.
The Baldrige Performance Excellence Program (BPEP) received 22 applications in 2013.* All of the applicants were evaluated rigorously by an independent board of examiners in seven areas defined by the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence: leadership; strategic planning; customer focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus; operations focus; and results. Examiners will provide around 1,000 hours of review to each applicant receiving a site visit, and all applicants will receive a detailed report on the organization's strengths and opportunities for improvement.
The 2013 Baldrige Award recipients are expected to be named in late November, 2013. The awardees will be honored at a ceremony during the Quest for Excellence conference, April 7-9, 2014, in Baltimore, Md.
The Baldrige Award was established by Congress in 1987. The BPEP is managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in cooperation with the private sector. It also is a partner in the Baldrige Enterprise, which includes the private-sector Foundation for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the Alliance for Performance Excellence—a body made up of the 30-plus state, local, regional and sector-specific Baldrige-based programs serving nearly all 50 states; and ASQ, an international organization promoting quality.
The program helps U.S. organizations succeed in today's competitive marketplace by providing organizational assessment tools and criteria; educating leaders in businesses, schools, health care organizations, and government and nonprofit organizations about the practices of national role models; and recognizing them with the Baldrige Award in six categories: manufacturing, service, small business, health care, education and nonprofit.
The Baldrige Award is not given for specific products or services. Since 1988, 93 organizations have received the award.

Learn About Navigating the National Cybersecurity Education Interstate Highway at NIST, Sept. 17-19
The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) is hosting its fourth annual "Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity Education Workshop" September 17-19, 2013, at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) laboratories in Gaithersburg, Md.
NICE is a national campaign designed to improve the cyber behavior, skills and knowledge of every segment of the population, enabling a safer cyberspace.
The workshop, "Navigating the National Cybersecurity Education Interstate Highway," will highlight cybersecurity education concepts, tools and best practices with a focus on achievements at the state and federal levels. The goal is to highlight cybersecurity awareness, education and training programs that can be adopted, copied, used or built-on by small businesses, educational institutions, industry and government to advance the strategic goals of NICE.
The September workshop offers four tracks: Awareness; Formal Education; Professionalization, Certifications, Training and Maintaining a Competitive Cybersecurity Workforce; and the Role of States in the National Cybersecurity Interstate Highway—Competitions, CAE Schools and Students. Topics will include what's happening at the community college and state level, to free federal training resources to small business security best practices. The track 4 offering, "Defense Against the Dark Arts," is a must for all cybersecurity experts who are Harry Potter fans.
State-of-the-art techniques will be highlighted, including training and mentoring in virtual environments, as well as using competitions to advance cybersecurity education. In addition to picking up new techniques that attendees can use on the job, experts will provide updates on NIST initiatives, including Executive Order 13636 "Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity" and Cybersecurity in the Cloud.

NIST October Workshop to Explore Intersection of Cloud Computing and Mobility
As part of its ongoing cloud computing forum and workshop series, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is hosting "The Intersection of Cloud and Mobility," October 1-3, 2013, at its Gaithersburg, Md., campus. The workshop will bring together experts in the field of cloud and mobility for plenary talks, panel discussion, facilitated breakout discussions and networking.
The audience of leaders in cloud computing and mobility from industry, government and academia will explore the advantages of using low-end mobile devices to access sophisticated cloud-based resources.
On day one, agency executives will address federal perspectives and visions for cloud and mobility. Panels will illuminate the current state of cloud and mobile, and share near and future applications and technologies.
The task of the second day is to discuss current challenges at the intersection of cloud and mobility and to share lessons learned. Presentations will explore key challenges such as privacy, security, business/economic and behavioral issues. Another session will focus on the challenges to the fields of finance, first responders, and defense and intelligence.
Developing a path forward based on the discussion of the first two days is the goal of day three. At the end of each day, participants will work together in breakout sessions focused on the day's business.
As with past cloud computing workshops, the first day of the meeting also will cover progress on the U.S. Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap Priority Action Plans. The session will focus on metrics, standards, service level agreements and security reference architecture.
The workshop and forum is introducing a new discussion topic this year. NIST now hosts a public working group on cloud and accessibility. The goal of the working group is to enable individuals to access information resources in a format of their choice from a broad range of devices. This adds ease-of-use to electronic devices. Several breakout sessions will discuss this extension of accessibility.

Various Conservative MPs have put forward Private Member's Bills that would, if they became law, water down to the point of uselessness the National Minimum Wage.
I think I counted three that were currently going through the process.
The first is the Employment Opportunities Bill, that would allow 'opt-outs' of the Minimum Wage, though anyone who has worked for an agency will know there will certainly be situations where if you want to sign up for an agency to get work part of the contract would include an opt-out of the Minimum Wage. We already have enough problems enforcing the Minimum Wage without creating complexity through opt-outs. This was the bill that started the whole Wage Concern campaign – the group still exists on Facebook and I've started updating it again now that the Minimum Wage is coming back into prominence after Chope's last defeat on the issue. This was of course also the bill that Shipley MP, Philip Davies supported, saying he wanted to have a debate on the issue before promptly making no reference to it on any leaflet he produced that went to tens of thousands of households across Shipley.
The second bill is the one that's just been chopped, a Minimum Wage Amendment Bill, that would force the Low Pay Commission to look at areas with above-average unemployment rates and automatically set the Minimum Wage at a lower rate, which the Government would be obliged to enact. As Paul Waugh's blog makes clear (you can read the link by going to our Facebook page) the bill has been nobbled by the Government, who obviously want to keep the public in the dark as much as possible about the anti-Minimum Wage tendencies of its own MPs. It's currently down for a second reading on the 18th March but it is unlikely to be read given he has pulled it once already.
The third bill is the Training Wage Bill, which will again allow opt-outs of the Minimum Wage for people who are training. Its next reading will be on the 18th March.
All these bills are supported by similar Tory MPs, though Philip Davies is conspicuous by his absence from these bills given his previous support for the Employment Opportunities Bill.
What I don't really understand is why, if Chope feels so strongly about the issue, does he keep pulling his own bill? He must have known the government wouldn't support anything that would undermine the Minimum Wage, even if secretly many Tory MPs shared Chope's view (and let's not forget Cameron campaigned strongly against the Minimum Wage when it was introduced).
I'll be keeping tabs on how these bills progress, Chope has said he still wants to debate his Training Wage Bill, so we'll see what happens. Personally I'd like these debates to go ahead so we can flush out the Tories who really think we should be scrapping the Minimum Wage, or at least the ones who have the guts to admit it.
UPDATE: A fuller, more updated version of this post will be appearing on Labourlist later this afternoon. I'll post a link once it's up. Quite bizarrely this post has been retweeted by George Monbiot and Naomi Klein (and now Johann Hari) within the space of a couple of hours!
UPDATE: A fuller version has now been posted to Labourlist, with a bit more detail behind the bills and the history of myself and others in opposing and campaigning against them. Check it out!

Definition of Gallicism in English:
A French idiom, especially one adopted by speakers of another language.
Example sentences
- The term 'finance' originated with the Old French finer (to end or settle, applied to indebtedness) and crept into other Romance languages as a Gallicism and into English via the Middle English 'finance.'
- One of the reasons given by Sprache in 'der Politik' for replacing Anglo-Americanisms with Gallicisms is that German already has lots of French words that could be used more often.
- Well may he be said to follow the French Translator blindly; and less is the wonder that he adopts his Gallicisms where he happens to understand him.

Is Newt Gingrich's Weight the Elephant in the Room?
Newt Gingrich's Evolving Views on Government
When New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was flirting with a Republican presidential run, pundits had a field day talking about how fat he is.
But Newt Gingrich's weight is the elephant in the room this campaign season, writes David Sirota in a Salon.com column titled "Why No One's Talking About Newt's Weight." Mr. Sirota says the elite national news media give him a pass.
National media snark about Mr. Christie's weight and its silence this season about Mr. Gingrich's girth demonstrates "a bias for those who seem to represent the Washington aristocracy and against those who seem to represent the commoner," Mr. Sirota writes.
Mr. Sirota, a Colorado radio host who used to work as a congressional spokesman, says that Mr. Christie's "thick New Jersey accent, his middle-class Catholic roots, his blunt regular-guy speaking style, and his geographic base outside the Beltway made him seem all too much the working-class outsider — all too un-Washington. That's the very archetype that the national press corps despises, disparages and marginalizes."
But Mr. Gingrich, he says, is "the personification of a Washington Insider, a man whose pedigree as a legislator-turned-influence peddler and frequent television bloviator is among the most respected in the nation's capital. Consequently, his Christie-esque weight is not portrayed as a concern."
Then again, Mr.Gingrich isn't on the same scale as Mr. Christie.
Mr. Sirota has an answer for that, too:
A glib reporter might just say that it's because Christie is fatter than Gingrich — that, essentially, like obscenity, there's a mysterious "you know it when you see it" standard for Unacceptable Weight that Christie violates but Gingrich somehow doesn't. But this hardly makes sense considering that Gingrich is much more nationally famous for being fat than Christie ever was.
Interestingly, the column coincides with one of the first times the former House speaker actually was asked about his weight — by a potential voter. At a South Carolina GOP event Tuesday, a woman in the crowd asked Mr. Gingrich (who didn't partake of the hash and barbecue served) "You look to be in very good health and if you're the president for the next eight years, I hope you can confirm that?" according to an ABC News account of the exchange.
"To the best of my knowledge my health is fine. I have an annual physical," Mr. Gingrich said. "I should lose weight, everybody who tells me I should lose weight, they are all correct. I just find it really hard to lose weight."
Mr. Gingrich joked with the crowd that God wanted him to be a bear, not a gazelle.

UBCC350, a campus group dedicated to fighting climate change, recently earned fossil fuel divestment a spot on the January referendum after successfully petitioning for 1,000 student signatures.
Launched in early November, UBCC350′s Divest UBC campaign asks the university to pull its investments from fossil fuel companies. Currently, $100 million of UBC's $1.06 billion endowment fund, which helps to fund university operations, is invested in fossil fuel companies.
"A single campaign can make a massive difference," said Divest UBC student coordinator Cohen Hocking, pointing to high school student demonstrations against apartheid in South Africa as examples. In the coming weeks, Divest UBC will be working to educate students about divestment and to raise awareness about the referendum.
To get a question on the referendum, a group needs to get 1,000 student signatures, which Divest UBC reached last week. The question that will appear on the ballot will ask the AMS to get involved in the campaign.
The question will be: "Whereas the University of British Columbia has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, and whereas it is unconscionable to fund our education with investments in fossil fuels that threaten our future on this planet, UBC should immediately forgo further investments in fossil fuel companies, and divest from all existing fossil fuel holdings within five years.
Do you call on the Alma Mater Society to make all reasonable efforts to urge UBC to divest from fossil fuels?"
If students vote in favour of the above referendum, the university is not required to respond.
"It's not binding to the university in any way," said AMS archivist Sheldon Goldfarb. However, Goldfarb said a passing referendum would oblige the AMS to take action by urging the university to divest, and possibly incorporate it into AMS policy.
If the referendum doesn't pass, it can be asked again in future elections. Goldfarb pointed out that the old SUB exists today thanks to an AMS referendum which failed the first time around.
The question will appear on the ballot during this year's election period, which runs from Jan. 27 through 31, 2014.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Taking a page from Facebook, Google (GOOG) said Friday that it will start showing user comments and endorsements in ads that appear on Google services and potentially millions of other sites across the Web.
While the Internet giant took pains to assure users they will be able to control who sees those messages, the company's new "shared endorsements" program drew immediate criticism from privacy watchdogs who predicted that many people will be dismayed to see their photos and comments used in commercial advertising. Critics said they'll ask the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether the program violates an earlier legal settlement with Google over privacy complaints.
Google, however, said the program will provide more useful information to consumers. And while the company's Google+ social network is smaller than Facebook's, Google potentially could show individual user recommendations to a much larger audience through its advertising service, which places ads on a variety of popular websites.
"Word-of-mouth advertising is very effective," said Rebecca Lieb, a digital media analyst at Altimeter Group. But she noted that similar ads on Facebook have sparked privacy complaints and lawsuits.
Google announced the new program in an online statement describing changes in policies that govern its consumer services, including Google+, the online market known as Play and other services. The changes will take effect Nov. 11, but Google said users will be able to limit or completely opt out from the ads. Google won't share endorsements from users under 18.
The company has begun telling users about the changes through notices on its home page and other sites.
Google has previously used endorsements in ads on a limited scale. When a person who is signed into a Google account clicks on a "+1" symbol, similar to Facebook's "like" button, the person's name and profile photo may appear next to a "+1" symbol in paid listings or other ads.
Under its new policy, the company said it may show more information, such as user comments, reviews, ratings or the fact that a person has "followed" a company on Google+.
"Recommendations from people you know can really help," the company said. "For example, your friends might see that you rated an album 4 stars on the band's Google Play page. And the +1 you gave your favorite local bakery could be included in an ad that the bakery runs through Google."
Facebook has long promoted the notion that friends' recommendations are both a useful service and a powerful advertising tool, although it's increasingly emphasizing other aspects of its ad program, such as the ability to tailor messages to an individual's preferences and other characteristics. Facebook recently settled a lawsuit over its use of endorsements and the FTC is now reviewing some related changes Facebook made to its policies.
Google said it will show endorsement ads only to the audience categories -- such as "friends," "family" or the general public -- that users have designated to see their original posts. Users can also block any use of their endorsements in ads.
Facebook allows users to limit but not completely block such ads. It's also been criticized for using teens' endorsements.
"It's good that Google is protecting teens," said Jeff Chester of the watchdog Center for Digital Democracy. But he noted that adults must take the extra step of changing their account settings to opt out of the new ads, if they haven't already indicated their preferences. Opting out should be the default setting, he said.
"Google and Facebook are turning its users into digital pitchmen," he said. "There's something wrong with that."

LM Sensors 3.0.0 Reworked
Version 3.0.0 of LM Sensors, a software package for hardware monitoring has just been released.
The new version was preceded by three release candidates and seven months of hard work. During this time, the developers forked off the I2C Tools, which were formerly part of LM Sensors, to create a separate package.
The developers have completely reworked the underlying Libsensors library, and upped the version number to 4.0.0. Libsensors uses the SysFS interfaces and now has a far smaller footprint than its predecessor. LM Sensors 3.0.0 is suitable for use with theLinux kernel 2.6.5 or newer; the software itself no longer contains kernel drivers, but runs entirely in userspace. Existing "sensors.conf" configuration files can still be used with the new library. The new release provides a script for converting to the new format.
For more information, and for the LM Sensors source code package, visit the project homepage. The license is GPL version 2. Patches are available for applications such as XSensors or GKrellkm that rely on Libsensors, to ensure compatibility with the new version of the library.

In presenting this paper I will limit its scope to the pathologic conditions found, and to the bacteriologic work done with the cultures obtained from the cases of yellow fever at the Isolation Hospital, principally to corroborate the claims of Sanarelli.
The pathology comprises the examination of urine and the blood, the autopsies and the bacteriologic research of Sanarelli's bacillus icteroides.
There were 348 specimens of urine and 154 of blood examined, and 51 autopsies were held. The 154 specimens of blood represent as many patients from whom blood was taken and examined. The examinations of urine were made as they generally are in the pathologic department of the Charity Hospital, only they were made oftener as a guide in the treatment of the cases. Albumin was found in all the cases of yellow fever during the course of the disease. It usually appeared before the fifth day, seldom after.

Product Description
Dust Tactics: Horten HO-347 comes with one miniature that can be configured in either of two jet variations that have placed the Axis on the brink of a long-awaited resurgence of air superiority in the fierce battles of Dust Tactics and Dust Warfare. The introduction of VK engines has permitted the Axis' newest aircraft to fly faster and climb higher than anyone believed to be possible just a few years ago. The latest generation engines even allow for near-stationary flight and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL).
The HO-347 Fledermaus III is both a fighter and a very effective ground-attack plane. Its light cannons can destroy other flying units in mere seconds. Its larger 75mm gun is perfect for attacking tanks or walkers at their weakest point – their thinner top armor.
The fighter/bomber variant of the new Horten, the HO-347 Fledermaus IV carries numerous bombs under its fuselage. Despite their relatively small size, these bombs can be devastating when dropped directly on a target during a screaming low altitude run.

Just when First Amendment principles seem to be working in public education, new fights over student religious speech threaten to reignite culture-war battles in schools across the country.
It's little known that many public schools made significant progress toward getting religion right over the past decade.
Generous reader, we would propound to you the following proposition: No one should allow themselves to be elected, selected, or appointed to the position of presiding officer over any board, commission, or other governmental body without first thoroughly familiarizing himself with the provisions of Robert's Rules of Order.
The validity of this proposition is clearly demonstrated by the current brouhaha arising out of the Roane County School Board's proceedings in relation to the employment of Toni McGriff to continue as Director of Schools.
Forgive me if I was a little glum last week. I didn't mean to be out of sorts.
March 30 just happens to be a sad day in my world.
You see, it was my daughter's birthday.
Ashton Julianne Teglas was born March 30, 1987. For most, you would think it would be a happy time.
She would have turned 24.
Notice I wrote "would."
Those who know me well also know she didn't live to see her first birthday.
On a recent late winter Friday afternoon, I headed to Rockwood to take up Wayne Pugh on his offer to show me around his beloved hometown.
I rendezvoused with Pugh — a retired railroad man — at Junior's Restaurant, where he sipped on coffee, and I ate a grilled cheese sandwich before we hit the road.
We paid our respects to Junior, the restaurant proprietor and namesake, and a few other locals before we walked out the door.
And thus began one of the best educations I've ever had on Rockwood.
I fired up the little red lawn mower.
All it took was three pulls. That's because last fall I took measures to ensure the 20-inch push machine I bought in 2001 would be with me through another mowing season.
First, I emptied the gas tank. Then I changed the oil. And, finally, I installed a new spark plug before storing it in a corner of the garage.
I've never been a grand marshal before.
That changed Saturday when I was honored by the Michael Dunn Foundation as grand marshal of the first ever Run for Dunn 5k race. I was also honored to be able to meet and stand alongside the very Michael Dunn for whom Roane County's Michael Dunn Center is named.
It was a proud day for me.
I'll admit to some relief when the race organizers informed me that instead of a starter's pistol, I'd launch the runners and walkers with an air horn.
The Bureau of the Census has done its work and begun issuing reports on its findings as to the fluxuations in population throughout the nation.
Insofar as Roane County is concerned our population has increased over the past decade by something over four percent (4.4%), to 54,181.
Our sister county, Anderson, with which we share the two cities of Oliver Springs and Oak Ridge, increased a little less than one percent more (5.3%).
And our southern neighbor, Meigs added six percent (6%).
The "Tennessee Health Care Freedom Act" passed the House this week, meaning the legislation is now on its way to the Governor for his signature.
This bill's passage is part of a larger effort by the General Assembly to not only encourage job growth, but protect the valuable jobs already in Tennessee.
The legislation was an integral piece for many legislators' agendas over the last two years.
Spring's a comin.'
I mentioned that last week in this space.
And on Sunday evening at 7:41 p.m., that's exactly what happened.
Old timers in these parts warn me not to get too excited.
After all, the running joke is that if you don't like the weather in East Tennessee, just give it a minute.
Spring actually kind of "sprung" on us several days earlier.
That noble document, the Constitution of the United States, is ofttimes praised and supposedly relied upon by the rabid, radical, right-wing, reactionary Republicans, yet, how often they do go on ad nauseam about some action they propose which is plainly and specifically outlawed by the said Constitution.
Take for instance the issuance of currency.
Article One, Section Eight, Clause Five, vests in the Congress the power to coin money.
And, Article One, Section Ten, Clause One, forbids any state from coining money or emitting bills of credit.

Beta Tournament Episode #1
Hail and well met! I'm proud to present the first episode of many showing tournament footage from the final beta weekend. This first episode is round 3 (of 3, it's single elimination) in Forest of Niflhel. I won't go over all the major details now, but I'm playing a support necromancer and yes there will be a guide for it in the near future. I haven't retired my warrior yet, but this necro really managed to add some new spunk to the team and was incredibly refreshing for me after playing the warrior primarily in BWE1, BWE2, and stress test. Let me summarize some of the things it provides; group heals, condition swapping (from allies to enemies), boon swapping (from enemies to allies), AoE protection with high up-time, fears, damage prevention through AoE blinds, and more! It's not like a guardian where it's providing hard, visible heals and bubbles, but it does prevent a lot of damage through raw mitigation and blinds — in addition to the limited heals which really aren't bad at all.
Please throw us a comment on YouTube. Do you like this unedited format? Would you like the downtime parts cut out? Would you want to see more commentary or matches that were casted? Let us know!
Do not forget to like and subscribe to the BnC channel if you haven't already! I have a lot planned for you guys.

Are you a ghost?Elvenlass: Ghost my ass, JarethsGirl, this is Elvenlass!JarethsGirl: Oh my god! *by this time JarethsGirl had found the car with Pablo, Schizo, Omar, RealThing, BlackTropic, and Elvenlass*Elvenlass: What the hell is going on?JarethsGirl: I have no idea, but I think it has to do with those three tests that seafoam suit guy was talking about.BlackTropic: Wait, you know that seafoam suit guy? What exactly did he tell you?JarethsGirl: To tell you the truth he freaked me out with all the nonsense he told me. He said there would be three tests upon entrance to the mansion, and that the house had a mind of it's own, and something about the owers of the house from 1806 or something being corpsy. RealThing: Do you think they had beer in the early 1800's?Schizo: Dude, I know random, and that was pretty random. Why are you even thinking about beer right now? We're stuck in a nauseatingly evil cave with no hopes of getting out.Pablo: Do you think this was our first test? We failed, obviously. I think we should have trusted the directions.Schizo: Oh sure, a whole test devoted to our trust in a street sign. Please.Elvenlass: No, he's right. This has got to be the first test. All we've got to do now is get out and move onto the next one. Follow me you guys!*and with that, everyone reluctantly got out of the car and started walking slowly around the cave*All of a sudden, Omar cries out in pain and shock, there's a THUD to the ground, and then everything is silent..."Caroline, the day you see anything through to the end, I'll stick my own dick in my ear." - Kevin Spacy in The Ref
