Cambridge MA (SPX) Apr 15, 2008
Verenium has announced that it has achieved a key development milestone with its demonstration-scale cellulosic ethanol facility in Jennings, Louisiana with commencement of the transition to "startup" phase. With this phase of the project now effective, the site has been electronically energized and the turnover of individual systems to start-up and operating teams has begun so that the functional capabilities of each system can be tested.
In total, more than forty separate systems will be evaluated over approximately the next three months.
"We are very enthusiastic about the continued progress and momentum at our pilot and demonstration facilities in Jennings; achieving this key milestone is another important step on the path to the commercialization of cellulosic ethanol," said Carlos A. Riva, President and Chief Executive Officer at Verenium.
"The next several months will be critical in terms of scaling our process and technology and garnering the insights needed to begin construction on our first commercial facility -- which will truly be a landmark for the emerging next-generation biofuels industry."
Following the start-up phase, the project will move into a commissioning phase geared toward validating the implementation of Verenium's technology and process at scale, including the ability to produce ethanol within predefined performance criteria. This will include introducing enzymes and ethanologens into the process and running biomass through the system to produce ethanol.
Subsequently, work to optimize the facility and make process improvements will commence as the Company seeks to ensure reliable and cost effective operation. The commissioning and optimization phase is anticipated to continue through the end of this year. Upon the successful completion of these steps, the Company expects to begin construction of its first commercial plant.

Money Doesn't Grow On Trees, But Gasoline Might
Amherst MA (SPX) Apr 15, 2008
Researchers have made a breakthrough in the development of "green gasoline," a liquid identical to standard gasoline yet created from sustainable biomass sources like switchgrass and poplar trees. Reporting in the cover article of the April 7, 2008 issue of Chemistry and Sustainability, Energy and Materials (ChemSusChem), chemical engineer and National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER awardee George Huber of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass) and his graduate students Torren Carlson and Tushar Vispute announced the first direct conversion of plant cellulose into gasoline components.

Even if Geno doesn't work out, still could be a good draft. If the two 1st rounders work out, the 3rd works out, Ivory is decent and 1 other pick contributes, that's a great draft.
If Geno Smith is the starting QB of the Jets in 2014, then I'd say only one or two of the other guys in the draft need to really work out. This draft will be considered a success regardless of what happens with other guys if we've found a franchise QB in Round 2.
A- or B+
If I didn't have a job and got all my football knowledge from watching talking heads shows on ESPN and listening to WFAN I would easily give this draft an F-.
But I have a job and a life and know football so B+.
There is a lot of question about drafting three D-lineman in the past three years, and Rex getting flack for it (although, it has never been determined how influential he was in any/all the picks)
HOWEVER. We currently have two 1st round picks on the O-line in Ferguson and Mangold, nobody had an issue with Woody at RT (another first rounder), and everyone was screaming for a Guard in the first round, which would have given us again three 1st rounders on O-line.
Legit question: Why does there never seem to be a problem drafting three o-linemen in the first, but many knickers get in a twist because there has been three drafted in the first?
I understand it has been three years in a row, but that is how trenches are built, and can work for MANY years because of it.

This past weekend, The Villages (Fla.) outside linebacker Noor Davis made the short journey from his home to Gainesville, Fla. to check out the University of Florida's Orange and Blue Debut.
"It was an awesome experience," Davis said. "I had an opportunity not only to meet with Coach (Will) Muschamp and all the other coaches, but also President Bernie Machen and the Athletic Director, Jeremy Foley. It was an outstanding trip. I learned a lot of new things and had a great experience. Florida will definitely be in my top five and will be high on my list."
Davis shed some light on his conversations with Coach Muschamp and his assistants about his role on their defense if he were to opt to become a member of their team.
Article Continues Below
"They said I could fit in an impactful way playing SAM linebacker spot," Davis said. "In the 3-4 I am down at the line and in the 4-3 I am back. They feel I can do a lot of things off the edge as a pass rusher but also as a flat coverage guy. I can do a lot of different things that can throw the offense off."
For Davis, college isn't simply about football. He is also very focused on earning a quality education. He feels that the University of Florida would provide such an opportunity.
"Their academics are great at the University of Florida," Davis said. "They are second in the nation among public schools. They have great academic programs and great athletics. They have an awesome business school and communications department."
The relatively reserved Davis couldn't help but gush about the impact that his weekend visit to see the Gators had made on his recruitment.
"They were really impressive," Davis said. "Notre Dame and Florida are the only schools that I have currently announced in my top five. They are two of the five and the other three will be determined later. But Florida is not only an outstanding program, it is an outstanding school, and it is very close to where I live, about an hour and fifteen minute drive. Also, the place where I live is pretty big Gator Country."
Davis said he will be settling down to focus on school, baseball, and spring football. His next planned visits are this summer when he heads west to check out Southern Cal, UCLA, and Stanford.

SHARKS PAGE SHARKS VIDEO Follow @BrodieBrazilCSNBrodie BrazilCSNCalifornia.com
Just how good a job did Sharks GM Doug Wilson do bolstering up his defensive corps this summer? San Jose now has more eligible defensemen than the team can or likely will dress on an every-night basis. Here's how the depth shakes out on the roster:
PLAYER HEIGHTWEIGHT AGE SHOOTS 22 Dan Boyle 5'11", 190lbs 35 Right 61 Justin Braun 6'2", 205lbs 24 right 88 Brent Burns 6'5", 219lbs 26 Right 60 Jason Demers 6'1", 195lbs 23 Right 3 Douglas Murray 6'3", 240lbs 31 Left 2 Jim Vandermeer 6'1", 210lbs 31 Left 44 Marc-Edourard Vlasic 6'1", 200lbs 24 Left 5 Colin White 6'4", 215lbs 33 LeftAnd here's how many predict the pairings will look:Boyle Murray - The perfect example of 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. These two have been virtually inseparable partners for the last couple seasons as San Jose's top pair, in terms of ice time and matchups. The offensively enabled Boyle, matched with the defensive minded Murray also offer the variety of one left, and one right handed shot. Camp will sort itself out, but change is not expected with these two.Vlasic Burns - If BoyleMurray are 1, then this pair is likely to be 1A. The newly acquired Burns is everybody's early pick to be paired with Vlasic, for a multitude of reasons.
First: Burns is of similar offensive tendency to Boyle, in jumping into plays and joining the rush. Whereas Vlasic is more likely to stay-at-home, playing a responsible defensive game. This is a nice mix of yin and yang for the new teammates.
Second: You have natural right-and-left defensemen, as the two each shoot from different sides.
Third: Each of these players is tied to multiple year contracts with the Sharks... meaning they have the potential to become long-term partners, which may be a good reason to test their chemistry together, as soon as possible.But here's where it gets dicey... since San Jose isn't likely to dress 7 defensemen on a regular basis, we are left with 4 more quality NHL players... and only 2 positions to be filled in the starting lineup each night.Jason Demers is likely to be a top candidate on the 3rd pair. He had a solid last season, and was truly (and noticeably) missed in the entire Vancouver series after suffering a high ankle sprain against Detroit. Last year, Demers averaged 19:29 per game (9th highest of all skaters), including an average of 2:11 on the Power Play. Colin White would be a good partner for Demers, for all the same reasons we like the previously mentioned pairs... OffensiveDefensive, RightyLefty. He poses intimidating size and strength, which the Sharks have recently needed more of on the blue line. He is also a highly touted and respected veteran who could provide solid mentorship to the up and coming Demers.But it's hard to exclude Jim Vandermeer, a reliable and gritty veteran who in 62 games last year tallied 122 hits and 78 blocked shots with Edmonton. Not to forget super sophomore Justin Braun either, who played in 28 games last year, is a prized right-handed shot, and showed tremendous upside in terms of his NHL potential. Coming into last season, either of these players would have been considered shoe-ins to San Jose's roster, with their current credentials. A good indication of just how thick the competition is this time around.This is the dilemma, but a great one to have for Wilson, and Head Coach Todd McLellan. Too many options will likely prove to be a considerable benefit, when you consider injuries, slumps, and the ruts a team is bound to endure over the course of an 82 game regular season.Follow Brodie in real time on Twitter: @BrodieBrazilCSN

Cold War Kids: 16 April 2009 - Chicago
The skill, the passion, and the energy all existed in the Cold War Kids' kit bag but somehow the sum of the parts didn't stick.
Cold War KidsCity: Chicago, IL
Venue: Schubas Tavern
Date: 2009-04-16
Chicago's Schubas Tavern is typically a very good place to see a rock show. The space is an intimate backroom, something akin to an old speakeasy but minus the dank. Normally, even at full capacity, the room is cozily crowded. For this Cold War Kids show, however, I dare say the event was oversold as audience members were shoe horned in place, with nary any elbow room to move and certainly no room for dancing.
Two songs into the set, Cold War Kids' lead singer, Nathan Willett -- also feeling Schubas' tight embrace -- declared, "It feels good to be playing a room this small." At that moment, yes, the Cold War Kids seemed poised to reward their coterie of fans with something palpable, something raw, and something near at hand. The band appeared fueled with a restless energy. Guitarist Jonathan Russell and bassist Matt Maust prowled and pranced around the stage almost locked in a dancing bob and weave as they strummed and thumped jerky and jittery chords and notes.
Willett too moved freely, never content to merely find center stage. However, during their new single, "Something is Not Right With Me", he did occasionally stand tall and straight, flailing his arms like an enraptured preacher as he howled the chorus while everyone in the crowd shrieked and shouted back at him in harmony.
Willett has described Cold War Kids' music as "soul punk." I am not sure who else would fit that genre. What I hear is a sound that certainly borrows from soul, but also from blues and from gospel. Undertones of electric Dylan or early street-slanging Springsteen are also buried in the Cold War sound. With each tune, the Kids dabbled in gritty and urban sounds, mixing the ringing, rancorous riffs of Russell's guitar with sinewy and supple bass lines, off kilter piano plinks, and big bombastic drumbeats.
The fever pitch of the show's first movement was clearly "Hang Me Up to Dry", one of their best tunes. Willett's impassioned, halting voice wrapped around memorable lyrical imagery as he demanded, "Hang me up to dry, you've rung me out too, too too many times. I'm pearly like the whites of your eyes." Willett's vocal pleading was answered and anchored by Jonathan Russell's bracing and jagged stop time guitar slinging and Matt Aveiro's double-step drums. As expected, the mob of fans was easily drawn in to the repetitive chorus, nearly drowning out the band with a collective shout.
Unfortunately, soon after the urgency of "Hang Me Up to Dry" the Cold War Kids seemed to fall off the rails. The mood shifted. A slow ballad gave way to more mid-tempo melodies and scattershot time changes. Song after song seemed more a sketch of something than a memorable masterstroke. Rhythms collided with one another within each tune with almost purposeful discord. "Robbers" snuck in with street corner poetry allowing Willett to update the feel of say, Springsteen's "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City", creating a bit of that self-described slow burning "soul punk." Yet the Cold War Kids' update of that Springsteen sound didn't mark them as vanguards to me.
Though the crowd continued to find the Cold War Kids performance engaging and transcendent, I couldn't help feeling underwhelmed. Any curious anticipation I had had entering the doors of Schubas was dimmed by the mere adequacy of the song craft. The stylistic shifts and constant time changes grew a bit tedious as the set wore on, making for a slightly schizophrenic sound. Memorable melodies and genuine grooves were lost amidst dueling ideas and emotions. The skill, the passion, and the energy all existed in the Cold War Kids' kit bag but somehow the sum of the parts didn't stick. I found myself checking my watch wondering how much time I felt was left in the show. By the time set closer, "Hospital Beds" hit with its instantly rapt stomp, catchy chorus, and almost fervent and zealous chant of "put out the fire boys don't stop" I couldn't help but think the flame had dwindled halfway through the set.

Buitron, D. 1983. Variability in the responses of black-billed magpies to natural predators. Behaviour 87. pp. 209-233.
Encounters between black-billed magpies (Pica pica) and a variety of natural predators were observed during 3 breeding seasons in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota. Raptors were the most frequently encountered potential predators, with magpies reacting more strongly to falcons than to hawks. Reactions to crows and squirrels were most frequent and intense during laying and incubation, while raptors in flight and coyotes were responded to most vigorously during the second half of the nestling period and the first two weeks of fledging. Perched raptors were almost always mobbed vigorously. Diving to within 2 inches of a predator appeared to be effective in driving it away. The roles of chasing and alarm calling were less clear, but in addition to alerting mates and offspring to danger, such behavior would impede efficient hunting by the predator and so might contribute to its departure.

Tobacco use has reached epidemic levels worldwide, and the repercussions have been deadly and continue to grow.

The following statistics detail current important global tobacco statistics we should all be aware of.

Key Statistics about Tobacco Use Around the World:

1. Tobacco kills just about half of all people who use it.

2. Tobacco use is the cause of 6 million deaths around the world today. Of that number, 600,000 are non-smokers who were exposed to secondhand smoke.

3. There are approximately one billion smokers in the world today. Eighty percent of them live in low and middle income countries.

General Global Smoking Statistics 2015

About 6.5 trillion cigarettes are sold around the world each year - that equals nearly 18 billion a day.

More than 7,000 toxic chemicals, 250 or which are poisonous, and 70 that are carcinogenic have been found in tobacco smoke.

The United States has significantly reduced its tobacco farming since the 1980's when 180,000 tobacco farms existed. Just 10,000 remained in 2012, yet the U.S. is still the 4th largest producer of tobacco leaves in the world. China, India and Brazil hold the top three spots.

In some countries, children from impoverished families must work in the tobacco fields to help pay the bills. This puts them at risk for "green tobacco sickness", a illness caused by absorption of nicotine, which is a poison through the skin from handling wet tobacco leaves.

Youth Smoking Statistics

Approximately 3,200 young people under the age of 18 try their first cigarette each day in the United States.

Each day, 2,100 youth and young adults who are considered first time or occasional smokers will go on to become full-time smokers.

Health Statistics Related to Tobacco

Tobacco use is behind six million deaths annually around the world. By 2030, if current trends continue, that number will rise to eight million.

Every five seconds, someone dies from tobacco use.

Cigarette smoking causes about one in five American deaths each year. That amounts to 480,000 deaths, or broken down, 1,300 smoking-related deaths each day.

Half of all long-term smokers will die a tobacco-related death. Every cigarette smoked cuts at least five minutes of life on average - about the time taken to smoke it. Some estimates show life lost per cigarette to be closer to 11 minutes.

At least one quarter of all deaths from heart disease and about three-quarters of world's chronic bronchitis are related to smoking.

 Smoking-related diseases cost the United States more than $300 billion a year.

Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death. It is a prime factor in heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease. It can cause cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, mouth, and bladder, and contributes to cancer of the cervix, pancreas, and kidneys.

Secondhand Smoke Statistics

Secondhand smoke is responsible for approximately 600,000 deaths around the world each year.

Approximately half of children breathe in secondhand smoke on a regular basis in public places.

Secondhand smoke is linked to cardiovascular disease, respiratory diseases like COPD and lung cancer in adults.

Infants exposed to secondhand smoke are at risk of SIDS.

 Pregnant women who breathe in secondhand smoke may have babies with low birth weight.

Just 18 percent (1.3 billion people) are protected by smoke-free laws in their nations.

How Aware are Smokers of the Dangers?

A 2009 Chinese survey showed that just 38 percent of smokers there knew that smoking causes heart disease, and only 27 percent knew it causes stroke.

In general, smokers are more aware that smoking causes lung cancer than they are that it is linked to heart disease and stroke, even though heart disease is the number one killer of smokers.

Upwards of 70 percent of smokers in China don't know smoking is a major risk factor for stroke. Between 46 and 62 percent of them also don't know heart disease follows smoking.

Other countries where more than 25 percent of smokers don't know smoking and heart disease are related include the Netherlands, Bangladesh, Thailand, India, Russia, and Vietnam. Ignorance of the risk of smoking-related stroke is higher than 25 percent in these countries.

Approximately 14 percent of smokers in France, 17 percent in New Zealand and Brazil, and 13 percent in the U.S. are unaware of the risk of heart disease they face from smoking.

That said, for smokers who do know about the numerous dangers to health and life itself from smoking, most want to quit.

Nearly 70 percent of adult smokers in the United States want to quit.

Nearly 40 percent of adult smokers have made at least one attempt to quit in the last year.

If you're smoking and would like to stop, start with the resources below. Education and support will help you make a lasting success of your efforts.

Ken Davidoff's quick-take preview of the American League. Teams are listed in predicted order of finish in the East, Central and West divisions.
American League East
MANAGER: Joe Girardi, fifth season, 384-264, .593 (overall 462-348, .570)
GM: Brian Cashman
STADIUM: Yankee Stadium (50,287)
OUTLOOK: As always, expectations are as sky-high as the payroll. RHP Hiroki Kuroda, RHP Michael Pineda and returning LHP Andy Pettitte are aboard to improve the starting rotation, while DH-OF Raul Ibanez replaces the retired DH Jorge Posada.
CONCERN: Age, primarily with 3B Alex Rodriguez, SS Derek Jeter and Ibanez. They're deep enough to overcome the loss of Joba Chamberlain.
BOTTOM LINE: They have a lot going for them, including roster depth, that should allow them to win the toughest division.
MANAGER: Joe Maddon, seventh season, 495-477, .509 (overall 522-501, .510)
VICE PRESIDENT OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS: Andrew Friedman
STADIUM: Tropicana Field (34,078)
OUTLOOK: There's no more surprise element to the upstart Rays. They've been upstarts for five years now. With most of their roster returning from last year's AL wild-card entry, they should be in the race once again.
CONCERN: How will OF B.J. Upton, whose performance has ebbed and flowed over the years, deal with his impending free agency?
BOTTOM LINE: Their starting rotation should drive them to the postseason for the fourth time in five years.
Manager: Bobby Valentine, first season (overall 1,117-1,072, .510)
GM: Ben Cherington
STADIUM: Fenway Park (37,493)
OUTLOOK: A historic collapse opened the door for prolific change, with Bobby Valentine and Ben Cherington replacing manager Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein, respectively. Red Sox Nation hasn't felt this unstable in a long time.
CONCERN: The back of the starting rotation, the bullpen, shortstop and the corner outfield positions. Otherwise, they're set.
BOTTOM LINE: There's a great core of talent, yet too many question marks in the tougher-than-ever AL.
MANAGER: John Farrell, second season, 81-81, .500
GM: Alex Anthopoulos
STADIUM: Rogers Centre (49,260)
OUTLOOK: The Blue Jays didn't make the big offseason splash that many industry folks anticipated. Instead, they'll rely on internal improvements and a new bullpen featuring RHP Sergio Santos, RHP Francisco Cordero, RHP Jason Frasor and LHP Darren Oliver.
CONCERN: More than anything, it's the competition. They'd be a power in the NL, but in the AL East? It's awfully challenging.
BOTTOM LINE: The best fourth-place team in baseball.
MANAGER: Buck Showalter, third season, 103-116, .470 (overall 985-949, .509)
GM: Dan Duquette
STADIUM: Oriole Park at Camden Yards (45,363)
OUTLOOK: Remember a year ago, when skipper Buck Showalter was going to haul them upwards? Oh, well. New GM Dan Duquette doesn't do much to dispel the notion this is a dysfunctional organization in a killer division.
CONCERN: Not one of their starting pitchers threw well enough last year to be considered even league-average.
BOTTOM LINE: The bottom. If they avoid 90 losses, it'll be a triumph.
American League Central
MANAGER: Jim Leyland, seventh season, 519-454, .533 (overall 1,588-1,585, .500)
GM: Dave Dombrowski
STADIUM: Comerica Park (41,255)
OUTLOOK: Just when their winter took a wrong turn, when DH Victor Martinez tore his left ACL in a workout, owner Mike Ilitch signed 1B Prince Fielder to a mammoth contract, ensuring the Tigers' favorite status.
CONCERN: Will moving 3B Miguel Cabrera across the diamond, to make room for Fielder, actually work?
BOTTOM LINE: With Cabrera and Fielder providing offensive pop and RHP Justin Verlander anchoring a decent starting rotation, the Tigers should cruise back to October.
MANAGER: Rod Gardenhire, 11th season, 866-755, .534
GM: Terry Ryan
STADIUM: Target Field (39,504)
OUTLOOK: After an out-of-character plummet last season, the Twins replaced GM Bill Smith with Smith's predecessor Terry Ryan. With C Joe Mauer and 1B Justin Morneau apparently healthy, Minnesota will try to resume life as a perennial contender.
CONCERN: Will their pitching return to its strike-throwing form of past seasons? Both the starting rotation and the bullpen were awful in 2011.
BOTTOM LINE: Nowhere as good as this year's Tigers. Nowhere as bad as last year's Twins.
MANAGER: Robin Ventura, first season
GM: Kenny Williams
STADIUM: U.S. Cellular Field (40,615)
OUTLOOK: Ozzie Guillen's departure to Miami last fall ended a colorful era for this club, and now the Chisox move forward with inexperienced skipper Robin Ventura. It's sort of a rebuilding mission, yet sort of not, given all the veterans still around.
CONCERN: Will DH Adam Dunn rebound from an absolutely horrific 2011?
BOTTOM LINE: They shouldn't be awful, not with the likes of 1B Paul Konerko and LHP John Danks still around.
MANAGER: Manny Acta, third season, 149-175, .460 (overall 307-427, .418)
GM: Chris Antonetti
STADIUM: Progressive Field (45,000)
OUTLOOK: Their quick start to 2011 is not remembered now, thanks to the Indians' final record of 80-82, and there's little reason to anticipate an upswing this season.
CONCERN: The future of RHP Roberto Hernandez, formerly Fausto Carmona. It's not clear when he'll be back after getting busted (and eventually cleared) for using a fake name.
BOTTOM LINE: The offense is all right, the pitching not so much. Looks like another forgettable season in Cleveland.
American League West
MANAGER: Ron Washington, sixth season 427-383, .527
GM: Jon Daniels
STADIUM: Rangers Ballpark in Arlington (49,170)
OUTLOOK: As they try for an AL pennant three-peat — and, still, their first World Series title — the Rangers will look to rookie RHP Yu Darvish to bolster an already good starting rotation, which also features converted closer RHP Neftali Feliz.
CONCERN: Feliz has experienced recent right shoulder problems, and RHP Joe Nathan hasn't pitched a full year at closer since 2010.
BOTTOM LINE: They might possess the best roster depth of all 30 teams.
MANAGER: Eric Wedge, second season 67-95, .414 (overall 628-668, .485)
GM: Jack Zduriencik
STADIUM: Safeco Field (47,878)
OUTLOOK: The Mariners are slowly putting together a contender, with a farm system promising more talent on the way. Former Yankees C-DH Jesus Montero will be looked upon to provide offensive pop, as will 1B Justin Smoak.
CONCERN: The notion of hitting 3B Chone Figgins leadoff doesn't inspire great confidence.
BOTTOM LINE: Not ready for prime time, especially with the powerhouse Rangers and Angels in this division. But getting there.

On April 14, the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA), along with Rick Koelz, will host a free seminar on the impact of the 1940 census information becoming available online and answer your questions.
Information about whether your ancestors attended college or whether they had registered for one of the new Social Security numbers is included in these historic records, which have been sequestered in the vaults of the National Archives for 72 years. On April 2, information on the nearly 300 million U.S. residents who participated will become available online. This information will give researchers and family historians detailed demographics on those living in the post-Depression and pre-World War II era.
The seminar will look at the history of the U.S. Census and how it has evolved since its beginning in 1790. The seminar will also cover the effects of the census as well as the strategies and online tools available to help locate individuals using census data.
Rick Koelz is a professional genealogist focusing on the use of technology to improve family history research. Utilizing almost 40 years of experience in the information technology field, Mr. Koelz studies and lectures on the effects the Internet and digitization are having on the rapidly changing family history research environment.

The health IT staffing shortage is getting worse, most acutely for technicians qualified to implement and maintain clinical software, a new survey shows.
The survey, conducted in July by the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives, found that 67 percent of health IT executives reported staffing shortages, compared with 59 percent two years earlier. For clinical software implementation, the figure was 76 percent, up from 70 percent in 2010.
Only 12 percent of chief information officers responding to the survey reported hiring graduates of the new Health IT Workforce Development program, under which students can achieve non-degree health IT training in six months or less at community colleges and universities. It was unclear why the numbers weren't higher, although respondents said they were least likely to hire applicants with health IT education but no experience working in the field.
"Even with two years of focused attention on implementing electronic health records at the nation's hospitals, in response to federal incentives, it's clear that staffing is a significant concern for IT executives," Randy McCleese, chief information officer at St. Claire Regional Medical Center in Morehead, Ky., said in a CHIME news release.
The continued push to meet federal targets for meaningful use of electronic health records, as well as the switch to a new medical coding system called ICD-10, will continue to stress the health-care IT workforce through at least 2014, he said.
As staffing shortages continue, concern over retention is growing, the survey indicted. While 76 percent of CIOs responding to the survey in 2010 registered concern over retention, the proportion grew to 85 percent this year, according to the news release. That may be because the number of health IT projects, including regional and state health information exchanges, continues to expand, CHIME said.
The most common means of dealing with staffing shortages was to hire contract IT specialists, according to the survey.
One bright spot: Fewer CIOs worry that staffing shortages will endanger their meaningful use incentive payments. While 70 percent registered that concern in 2010, the number dropped to 59 percent this year.

On the reality TV show "The Apprentice," Donald Trump plays a godlike figure who judges whether job candidates have what it takes to be executives in his multi-billion dollar kingdom. Praised for their cunning ambition, contestants try to outsmart each other on their quest for fame and fortune.
The show's emphasis on achieving worldly success has attuned my ears to the many cultural voices that exalt the importance of being big in the eyes of the world. Yet, when I listen to Jesus' voice, I hear a much different message: The humble among us will be exalted.
Sometimes these words seem so counterintuitive. Humility and exaltation are polar opposites, right? Yet I'm reminded of how often divine Truth comes tangled up in paradoxes — the last are first, the foolish are wise, the weak are strong, the poor are rich.
Clearly, Jesus' idea of exaltation is radically different from the world's. For him, greatness is not synonymous with earthly accomplishments or prestige. Rather, it is the exalted status God bestows on us when we make him first in our lives by humbly serving him and others. In the words of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, greatness is a matter of soul.
As I run the race toward the prize of heavenly exaltation, I find that Jesus is my best companion and mentor. "Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart," he says in Matthew 11:29. Ironically, it was in his gift of self to the Father that Jesus achieved our salvation and was highly exalted. He is our perfect model of humility.
Humility is a virtue that enables us to see God as the source of all good (Catechism, No. 2559). It also helps us avoid "inordinate ambition or pride, and provides the foundation for turning to God in prayer" (No. 2546). Humility keeps our eyes fixed on God's will and prevents us from always looking around to see how big we are.
As a Catholic family man and professional, I often struggle to live humility in the circumstances of daily life. When I'm changing our baby girl's diapers, I feel like I've got humility down pat. But in other areas it's not so easy, especially when achievement is involved.
My profession, for instance, seems to demand the pursuit of worldly success in order to provide for my family's needs. At times, I find my desire for a successful career blurs the line between humble service and sinful ambition.
I've come to realize that Jesus' call to be humble does not mean cowering at the prospect of using our gifts to do great things. Humility rightly ordered allows us to see ourselves as stewards of the talents God has given us and to put them at his service in the many facets of our lives.
Jesus gives this formula as a guideline: If we humbly seek first God's Kingdom, everything else will fall into its proper place.
Following the path of success — even toward Donald Trump's apprenticeship — can be an act of humility provided it is God's will that lights the way and heavenly greatness we seek. At the same time, the cross is a shocking reminder that a life given in humble service to God and deemed tragically unsuccessful by the world can be more perfect than one marked by outstanding achievement.

Not saying that's a bad thing. It's probably true.
I don't see how Dzogchen and Zen can be experientially different. As for Advaita, I don't think so because there is no insight into emptiness. I might be wrong about Dzogchen though. From what I'm hearing now, it does seem to have more in common with Advaita than I thought. The language at least sounds pretty substantialist.

End of year wrap captures memorable moments
Just like every school year, 2008-2009 had its share of memorable moments in Packer athletics. Once again it's our obligation to try to put it all into perspective.
Instead of a sport-by-sport review of all 23 varsity sports, we at the West Fargo Pioneer decided to do something a little different and rank the top moments and athletes. Surely the lists will create controversy, which isn't always a bad thing.
Email your complaints and suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com, and enjoy the third annual Pioneer Packer sports rankings.
Swimming, softball titles
highlight banner year for Packer athletics
10. Diamond win streak. A new-look Packer baseball team finished the season with a 19-9 overall record by winning 12 of 13 games before their luck ran out in the final games of the EDC tournament. Junior Matt Strahm even hurled a no-hitter during the streak. The team may not have made the state tournament, but the young West Fargo team showed it's on the verge of something big.
9. Records on ice. A slew of Packer boys hockey scoring records fell this year as the team tied the school record for most team points in a season. Ten players scored more than 10 points this season, including six with 20 or more. Single season defenseman scoring and assist records were also broken.
8. Perfection repeated. The Packer volleyball team made it two EDC seasons in a row of undefeated conference play. West Fargo, led by seven talented seniors, brought a 22-match win streak into the state tournament where it finished in third place.
7. Golfers swing away. The Packer boys golf team usually plays near the middle of the EDC pack, but not this season. Spring flooding caused a whole lot of postponements, forcing the Packers to compete four times in four days in mid-May. West Fargo took advantage, earning an invite win and three second places before landing in a very impressive third place at state. It gets better: Everyone competing at state will be back next year.
6. Schiller Thriller. Junior Scott Schiller pinned all four of his state tournament opponents to win the 189 lb. title and repeat as a state champion. His 45-2 record broke his own school record for wins in a season. It's a rare occasion where a personal achievement makes the Pioneer top 10 - normally reserved for team accomplishments - but Schiller was phenomenal. He never lost a match to an in-state opponent.
5. The big game. The Packer boys basketball team played its way to the state tournament championship game for the first time since 1992 with wins over Williston and Bismarck before losing to Mandan by 11 points in the big game.
"I'll say this for these guys - from day one they didn't believe that they weren't supposed to play in the state championship game," said Packers coach Greg Limke. "They believed all year long that they should be there, from the end of last year's state tournament all the way to the state championship game. The attitude of the guys was, 'Why don't we belong there?' And they never thought anything different."
4. Double XC titles. A whopping 12 Packer runners made the all-EDC team behind their performances that earned the Packer girls their second conference championship in a row and the boys their first ever. It wasn't obvious what teams would come away with conference titles until the results were tabulated.
"We sat around for quite a long time until we were sure with the boys," said West Fargo coach Joe Bailey. "I didn't know for sure that the girls had won until they read the team titles later."
3. More track titles. The Packer girls track team struck gold at the state meet again this season, and a pair of familiar names had a lot to do with it. Junior Ellie Grooters three-peated as the 100 and 300 hurdles state champ, while freshman Alissa Mears defended her 1600 title. The pair teamed up with eighth-graders Christine Baltezore and Leah Hermanson to win the 3200 relay state title.
"...Top to bottom, this was a great weekend for track and field, the best that I think I've been a part of," said West Fargo coach Darin McKinnon.
2. The streak stays alive. The Packer softball team made it a dozen state championships in a row, with the latest coming in softball's inaugural season as an officially-sanctioned high school sport. It means more honors for West Fargo and state coach of the year Pat Johnson. The Packers, with only four experienced varsity players to start the year, finished the year with a 22-5 overall record.
"It was a crazy feeling, like, 'Oh my gosh, we just won.' After that last out everyone just kind of ran and jumped and hugged each other," said senior second baseman Jessica Woodbury. "We were all excited and screaming."
1. Glory is here! The Packer boys swimming team, often second fiddle to powerhouse Minot, won its first state championship in school history behind an entire roster of talented, versatile swimmers that wouldn't quit. They didn't just beat out the rest of the state tourney field either; they crushed it, winning by nearly 150 points. Nine Packers were named all-state. The Packers, led by coach of the year Marsha Dahl, return plenty of talent next season to make a run at defending the state title.
"It was amazing. It was unbelievable," said senior Thomas French. "I never expected that we'd beat everyone by that much. It was just amazing. I don't know; it was indescribable."
Jones, Schiller named
athletes of the year
The criteria to make the top 10 female and male athletes lists aren't set in stone. If it were only about endurance, then every cross country and swimming athlete would surely be mentioned. If it were only about power, then the offensive line on the football team and the throwers in track and field would be high on the lists. If it were about speed, the running backs, hockey high scorers, soccer forwards and sprinters would garner most of the mention.
But it's not just about those qualities. It's also about success, accolades, statistics and contributions. There's no BCS computer adding up anyone's worth here. It's simply the opinion of one man who covered Packer athletics during the school year. Multi-sport athletes get SERIOUS consideration.
Top female athletes
10. Christine Baltezore. Only an eighth-grader, Baltezore followed up an all-state cross country season with a relay state title for the girls track team in the 4x800.
9. Ashley Reiter. This senior led the girls swimming team to a second place finish at state, won two individual EDC championship titles and one individual state title and was named the state's senior athlete of the year.
8 (tie). Blake Selisker and Jessie Gust. Selisker led the volleyball team in digs and was named all-state for her impressive senior season before playing girls basketball. Gust, playing the same two sports, was named all-state in volleyball as well as the state's senior athlete of the year. Then she was the fourth-leading scorer for the girls basketball team.
6. Alyssa Hummel. This senior excelled at three sports, playing volleyball and girls basketball (the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder) before excelling in the shot put for the girls track team, where she took fourth at state. She also led the girls hoops' team in minutes played.
5. Jessica Woodbury. The Minnesota transfer student turned in an impressive, three-sport senior season for the Packers in volleyball, girls basketball and softball, where she excelled at second base and hit over .400.
4 (tie). Ellie Grooters and Alissa Mears - a pair of cross country and track stars, along with a few friends, showed the rest of the state that West Fargo is simply a long distance power. Grooters followed up an all-conference cross country season with a relay and two individual state titles in girls track. She also took second in the 100. Grooters, a junior, three-peated as the 100 and 300 state hurdles champion.
Meanwhile Mears simply dominated the entire state at cross country, winning all 11 races she competed in this year, including the state meet where she became the first cross country champ in Packer history. Mears joined Grooters on the state championship 4x800 track relay team and defended her state title in the 1600.
2. Kacie Johnson. Last year's athlete of the year had a tremendous follow-up sophomore season, taking all-state honors in both sports she plays. She led the Packer girls hockey team in goals and assists and was the third-leading points scorer in the state. Johnson then switched to softball where she starred as an outfielder that hit over .400 and as the team's top pitcher.
1. Aryelle Jones. This senior shoots all the way up from last year's No. 5 to the top spot this season, thus earning the title of West Fargo Pioneer Female Athlete of the Year, also known as WFPFAY (don't forget to see who won the WFPMAY).
Dominating volleyball and softball seasons and a very solid girls basketball season earn this three-sport star the honor. The leader in kills and aces for the volleyball team, Jones was named all-state for the Packers, who went undefeated in EDC play. Jones moved on to the girls basketball team where she was the top rebounder and third-leading scorer. It's no coincidence that the girls softball team won its 12th state championship in a row with Jones, named the state's Gatorade Player of the Year, at shortstop. It was her fourth state title. She was a really good player in three different sports for the Packers this year and an easy choice for the WFPFAY.
Top male athletes
10. Tyler Gronbeck. He was a senior guard for the boys basketball team and a pitcher/outfielder for the Packer baseball team.
9. Jake Weible. A junior all-state swimmer, Weible repeated as the 100 backstroke state champion and was on the 200 medley relay state title team.
8. Eric Benson. This senior swimmer was a integral part of the state record-breaking, state championship winning 200 medley relay team. His leadership and talent helped lead the Packer boys swimming team to its first state championship in school history, and he made the all-state team. Benson went on to play outfield for the Packer baseball team.
7. Luke Solum. A senior all-state defensive back for the football team, Solum took second at the state track meet in the long jump.
6 (tie). Spencer Uetz and Jamison Gehrig. These two long distance runners, both juniors, push each other in practice and competition, and it only makes sense they are tied at sixth place. Gehrig was second at cross country EDC, while Uetz was eighth; then they both finished neck-in-neck at state cross, with Gehrig in 13th and Uetz in 14th. They teamed up to do some damage in several relay events during boys track, and both were EDC champs, Uetz in the 1600 and Gehrig in the 3200. Then at state, Gehrig was eighth in the 3200, while Uetz was third in the 1600.
4. Bryce Jorgenson and Alan Neer. It's probably fitting that these two end up tied in the fourth spot. The platooning quarterbacks for the football team complemented each other well. Both could run the ball and throw for yardage. Neer, a senior, went on to play boys basketball, while Jorgenson, a junior, pitched and played third base for the baseball team.
2. Jason Moch. An all-EDC defender for the boys soccer team as well as a part-time kicker for the football team, this senior's top sport was basketball, where he led West Fargo in scoring, rebounding, three-pointers and minutes played. He was then named all-state.
1. Scott Schiller. There's not a whole lot more that can be said about this guy's wrestling talents. The junior went 45-2 in breaking his own school record for wins in a season and took another state title - this one at 189 lbs. That alone would have been enough to at least make this list. That all came after he put in a second-team all-state worthy season for the football team at linebacker. If he took up a spring sport, one wonders if Schiller, the Pioneer male athlete of the year (last year's No. 5), could be a three sport all-state athlete. Packers wrestling coach Kayle Dangerud, by the way, raves about his leadership skills. Packer fans can be glad they get to see our WFPMAY (West Fargo Pioneer Male Athlete of the Year) one more year before he moves on to compete for a big-time college wrestling program.

A Chicago man is being hailed as a hero for jumping in to save a police officer who was under attack.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports Tom Lashinski was walking his mom's dog around 12:20 a.m. on Sunday in the 4200 block of N. Ravenswood when he noticed what seemed to be two people fighting.
Lashinski soon realized a man was punching and pulling the hair of a female police officer while she was trying to arrest him, according to reports.
The officer was trying to handcuff the suspect when he began attacking her, police said.
Lashinski called 911 and then helped the officer hold the man down until more officers arrived.
Police identified the man attacking the officer as 45-year-old Antonio Perez.
Perez is now charged with aggravated battery to a peace officer, burglary, resisting a peace officer, and attempting to disarm a peace officer, according to police.
The officer suffered injuries to her face, multiple lacerations and puncture wounds from being bitten, according to the Sun-Times.

Warning: spoilers for Assassin's Creed: Revelations follow.
When we last saw Desmond, our modern-day hero and narrative lynchpin through the entire Assassin's Creed franchise, he was dead. Or close enough.
That leaves a pretty big hole in Creed's mythos going into Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (due November 1 on PlayStation 4 and PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC). The series pulled off its epic trips into history via Desmond, who strapped into the genetic-memory-decoding Animus and relived his ancestors' adventures in professional murder. No Desmond, no access to the litany of hooded killers stretching from the Crusades to the 21st century.
Luckily, the team at Ubisoft Montreal found a replacement to fill the gap: You.
"We wanted to remove this barrier that you're playing a guy who's playing in a machine playing a guy," says game director Ashraf Ismail. "So instead, it's really you as the hero in the present day using the Animus to go into someone's life."
No one at Ubisoft would confirm it, but if "removing the barriers" is indeed the goal, it's possible Black Flag's modern-day segments could be Creed's first foray into a first-person perspective, perhaps even with a silent protagonist. Either way, it still leaves the tricky bit about slipping into Desmond's family line to ferret out secrets lost to history. Ismail has an intriguing answers for that, too.
For starters, Abstergo — the modern-day front company for the Templars, ancient enemies of the assassins — has expanded. "Abstergo Entertainment is a subdivision of Abstergo Industries created to do research on historical events and characters for entertainment value," says Ismail. Naturally, their true motives run deeper and darker. "You're hired by Abstergo Entertainment to do research on this great pirate known as Edward Kenway. As far as you know, you're just doing research on some dude in the past using this awesome machine called the Animus."
But Edward Kenway isn't some dude. He's an assassin — Assassin's Creed IV's cover boy, in fact. Something happened in his life that's very important to the power-hungry Templars. You're going to help them learn the details, and their new Animus doesn't depend on your being a direct descendent.
"Now it's not just Desmond who can go back into his own lineage," says Ismail. "The Animus technology's progressed so others can do this, and that's part of the story."
We've already seen "Animus farms" where Abstergo trains their agents (it's even the metastory behind Creed's multiplayer mode), but Abstergo Entertainment's huge, mall-like environment and open-to-the-public Zen rock gardens comes off as far more sinister for what it's hiding. And it remains to be seen how extensive their little research project is, what it's truly for, or how you'll stop it.
Because this time, without Desmond to fall back on, it'll all be on you.

Your complete guide to the top current accounts: We sort the giveaways from the gimmicks
British banking has had a facelift after a string of new current account launches. The latest comes from Tesco and is hot on the heels of M&S's new fee-free account.
For those wondering whether it is worth trading the devil you know for a fresh current account, The Mail on Sunday helps sort the gimmicks from the giveaways.
CLUB LLOYDS: Interest of 4 per cent is paid on balances of between £4,000 and £5,000 – in other words £128 to £160 after tax for basic rate taxpayers. Lower rates of interest are paid on smaller sums.
The account comes with one 'Lifestyle Benefit' a year from a choice of three: dining out discounts with a Gourmet Society membership, six Vue cinema tickets or an annual magazine subscription.
As with most other deals, customers must have two monthly direct debits coming out of the account and must pay in a set sum each month to benefit. In Lloyds' case they must pay in at least £1,500 a month to avoid the £5 monthly fee.
Why is it best? It is a good choice for people with some savings. According to a Future of Savings report by the Post Office, the average household will have savings of £3,630 this year. These savings provide a great starting point for someone who wants the 4 per cent rate.
Runners-up: Santander's 123 account is a generous option for those with more than £5,000 to save and attracts a maximum 3 per cent on balances up to £20,000. The bank also pays cashback on bills, which is likely to cover the £2 monthly fee.
Nationwide Building Society offers 5 per cent on its fee-free FlexDirect account. But this is only for savings of £2,500 or less and the interest rate falls to 1 per cent after the first year.
After tax, the first year's interest is no more than the £100 'golden hello' that other banks offer to new customers.
Halifax pays £5 a month after tax for its Reward Account – the equivalent of 5 per cent on savings of £1,500.
Switch: Pauline Mellor - with grandchildren (clockwise from top left) Amy, nine, Ben, 11, Charlie, five, and Ellie, 12 - is pleased with her move
Mellor only recently opened a fee-free bank account with Marks &
Spencer. Despite not coming top in any of The Mail on Sunday's
categories, it is a good 'all-round' account.
offers a £100 gift card for joining, loyalty points on spending, an
automatic £500 overdraft with a fifth of that interest-free and there
are no fees applied for withdrawing money from cashpoints while abroad.
from New Moston in North-East Manchester, ended a 40-year relationship
with Barclays to be among the first wave of customers signing up to the
new account.
married grandmother-of-four, who works part time supervising
schoolchildren at lunchtime, used the Current Account Switch Service,
which automatically shifts everything from one account to another and
comes with additional guarantees and safeguards in case anything goes
'I'm very pleased with it all,' says Pauline, 70. 'My wages, direct debits and state pension were all transferred across.
'The bank's opening hours are also convenient. It's open whenever the shop is.'
TESCO CURRENT ACCOUNT: Customers can build up points whenever they spend money. One point is earned for every £4 spent in a Tesco store and one point for every £8 spent elsewhere. Each point is worth 1p.
Interest of 3 per cent is paid on balances of up to £3,000 held in the account. Paying £750 a month into the account ensures exemption from the £5 monthly fee.
Why is it best? Reward points aren't limited to groceries. Clubcard members can boost the value of points fourfold if they are converted to vouchers for days out at Warwick Castle or Woburn Safari Park, or on meals out and travel, for instance.
Runners-up: Tesco's account is online-only, so anyone wanting a branch-based bank should consider Halifax, M&S and Club Lloyds. As well as paying £5 for every month that £750 is deposited, Halifax's Reward account offers a £100 sweetener to new customers.
The M&S account, which has no monthly fee and was launched last month, offers one point per pound spent on the account's debit card in store and each point is worth 1p.
As well as offering benefits such as cinema tickets, Club Lloyds gives exclusive cashback deals.
FIRST DIRECT 1ST ACCOUNT: This online-only account comes with a £500 overdraft, of which £250 is interest-free. It also comes with a good reputation for service. A subsidiary of HSBC, First Direct pays £100 to new customers and promises £100 to those unhappy enough to leave within a year. Fee-free if £1,000 is paid in each month.
Why is it best? An overdraft automatically comes with the account and is available for as long as the account is kept by a customer.
Runners-up: Nationwide's FlexDirect account offers an interest-free overdraft for the first 12 months. M&S gives an automatic £500 overdraft, the first £100 of which is interest-free. Both providers also have branches on the high street.
NATIONWIDE FLEXDIRECT: Pay in £1,000 a month to receive 5 per cent interest on balances up to £2,500, exclusive discounts and a fee-free overdraft for 12 months. There is no monthly fee.
Why is it best? It scores highly in customer satisfaction surveys and tops a 'good value' league table by FairerFinance. The website ranks providers according to what customers say about them, complaints handling and transparency.
Runners-up: Metro Bank is also renowned for good customer service but the majority of the branch network is currently limited to the South-East. Online banks First Direct and Smile – a subsidiary of the Co-op Bank – also get favourable reviews.

MONTREAL (CP) � Nine people have died in a Quebec hospital from what doctors believe is a new and more powerful strain of C. difficile.
Since late July, health officials have identified a total of 22 C. difficile cases at Honore-Mercier Hospital in St-Hyacinthe, about 60 kilometres southeast of Montreal.
Doctors are at a loss to explain what caused the outbreak, but are concerned it is a different strain from others found in Quebec hospitals in the past.
The outbreak is even more troubling because the hospital recently underwent widespread renovations.
A spokesperson says 50 per cent of the hospital is being decontaminated and that the work should be finished by next week.
A strain of C. difficile is blamed for roughly 2,000 deaths in Quebec between 2003 and 2004.

Tall tales and tailings - the truth about Rio Tinto's rare earth mine in Madagascar
Yvonne Orengo
3rd April 2017Rio Tinto's QMM mine in Madagascar was meant to be an exemplar of 'corporate social responsibility' and environmental best practice. But the reality experienced by local communities is different, writes Yvonne Orengo, with uncompensated land seizures, food insecurity, deforestation and social deprivation. New concerns are emerging about the infringement of legal buffer zones and radiation exposure. Rio Tinto must be held responsible for its actions! more...

Sushi Typhoon has announced that, fresh off of its screening at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal, Sion Sono's critically-acclaimed, Japanese box office smash finally comes to US theatres (courtesy of The Collective / Salient Media) starting this Friday, August 5th.
After the theatrical run, COLD FISH will come to DVD and iTunes starting 8/23, and to video-on-demand beginning 9/23.
"In the film, mild-mannered Shamoto's teenage daughter gets caught shoplifting. A generous fellow fish-store owner and his wife appear to help resolve the situation by having her work at their fish store. Too good to be true? You bet! Shamoto soon discovers the horrific truth about this seemingly perfect couple…who inextricably weave him into their grisly rituals. Inspired by true events, COLD FISH is a twisted, brutal, blood-soaked drama that reveals the underlying insanity of an ordinary man pushed well beyond the brink."
