National Lightning Safety Awareness Week - Monday
...An Introduction to Lightning Safety...
This week is National Lightning Safety Awareness Week. Lightning kills--play it safe!
In the United States each year, there are about 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. While lightning can be fascinating to watch, it is extremely dangerous. During the last 30 years, lightning has killed an average of 55 people per year in the United States, while injuring 300 more. Bringing that down to the local level, Alabama had 110 reported lightning deaths between 1959 and 2011.
During a thunderstorm, each lightning flash is a potential killer. Lightning can even strike up to 10 miles from the main area of the thunderstorm. That is about the distance you can hear thunder from the storm. Whether or not you can see the actual lightning flash, if you can hear thunder, you are at risk of being struck. In addition to the visible flash of lightning, the current associated with the lightning discharge travels along the ground. Although some victims are struck directly by the stroke, many victims are struck as the current moves in and along the ground.
People need to become aware of what behavior puts them at the greatest risk of being struck by lightning and know what they can do to reduce that risk. Those in charge of outdoor activities and events should have and follow a specific lightning safety plan to minimize danger to participants and spectators. The greatest number of lightning deaths and injuries occurs during the summer months when both lightning and outdoor activities reach their peaks. During the summer, people take advantage of the warm weather to enjoy a multitude of outdoor ctivities. Unfortunately, those activities put them at greater risk of being struck. Even indoors, people must avoid activities that put them at risk. In particular, people should stay away from outside doors and windows and avoid contact with anything that conducts electricity.
Finally, in the event that a person is struck by lightning, immediate medical care may be necessary to save the person's life. Cardiac arrest, burns, and nerve damage are common in cases where people have been struck by lightning. However, with proper treatment, including CPR if necessary, most victims survive a lightning strike even though the long term effects on their lives as well as the lives of their families can be devastating. For more information about lightning safety, visit www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov.

When she was 11 years old, she began modeling and took singing lessons until she was 17, all of which helped prepare her for a career in the arts. While a teenage model, Seyfried appeared on the covers of three books by Francine Pascal - My Mother Was Never a Kid, Love & Betrayal & Hold the Mayo and My First Love and Other Disasters - author of the popular Sweet Valley High series. Seyfried started acting while attending William Allen High School, which led to her role in 2000 as Lucinda Marie on "As the World Turns" (CBS, 1956- ), followed by a recurring appearance from 2002-03 as Joni Stafford on "All My Children" (ABC, 1970- ).
Following high school graduation, Seyfried enrolled at Fordham University in New York, only to put her education on hold when she was cast as Karen Smith, the ditsy member of the Plastics, in the hit high school comedy "Mean Girls" (2004), which also starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. Seyfried initially tried out for the roles of naïve Cady (Lohan) and queen bee Regina (McAdams), but there was something about taking on the loveable airhead role that made Seyfried a major standout in the film. "Mean Girls" became such a hit that Seyfried could have gone after lighthearted roles that were similar to the dumb blonde routine she nailed in that film; instead, she went after intricate, character-driven projects, including a leading role in "Nine Lives" (2005), an interwoven story about nine women that also starred Robin Wright Penn and Academy-Award winner Holly Hunter.
After her appearances on the big screen, Seyfried returned to television, playing Lilly Kane - the title character's murdered best friend - on "Veronica Mars" (UPN/The CW, 2004-07). The actress' role involved flashbacks and visions, and was often compared to the tragic Laura Palmer character from "Twin Peaks" (ABC, 1990-91). Coincidentally, Seyfried also auditioned to play Veronica, a role that eventually went to Kristen Bell. Following guest appearances on "House" (FOX, 2004- ), "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (NBC, 1999- ) and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (CBS, 2000- ), an increasingly busy Seyfried landed her first regular dramatic series role with "Big Love" (2006- ). On the hit HBO drama about a polygamist family led by a hardware chain store owner (Bill Paxton) trying to stay under the radar, Seyfried impressed critics and audiences with her emotionally-charged performance as the eldest daughter who constantly struggles and butts heads over the family's polygamist beliefs.
Returning to features, Seyfried next starred as Sophie, the lead role in "Mamma Mia!" (2008), a lavish film version of the long-running Broadway production based on the music of ABBA, which starred Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan, and became a smash box office hit. Meanwhile, the actress also appeared in the films "Boogie Woogie" (2008), and "Jennifer's Body" (2009), a comedic horror flick from "Juno" (2007) screenwriter, Diablo Cody. Following a starring turn in Atom Egoyan's erotic thriller, "Chloe" (2010), she starred in the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' tearjerker "Dear John" (2010), in which she played a young Savannah woman who exchanges letters with a soldier (Channing Tatum) she fell in love with before he was shipped off to war. Despite largely mixed reviews, the somber drama was nonetheless a surprise hit at the box office. Meanwhile, she joined William H. Macy, Judy Greer and Jeremy Piven for the big screen adaptation of the long-running comic, "Marmaduke" (2010).

The MinION™ device: a miniaturised sensing system
Analytes and applications: DNA, RNA, proteins
Fields of use
The Oxford Nanopore's proprietary nanopore-based sensing chemistries can be operated on the GridION™ system, an electronics-based platform. This enables multiple nanopores to be measured simultaneously and data to be sensed, processed and analysed in real time.
A single instrument, a GridION node, operates with a single-use cartridge that contains the necessary reagents to perform an experiment.
A node can be employed as a single desktop instrument, or scaled up in a similar way to computing installations.
As a desktop instrument for the individual researcher, it can write data to the network or to a locally attached disc (directly through a USB or through a network) and work in a small lab. GridION does not require a dedicated server.
Each node is a network device. Multiple nodes can be aggregated together into larger co-operating units or clusters, communicating with each other in a peer-to-peer fashion over the user's network. The system is designed to interface or even co-locate, with standard or high-performance IT infrastructure. Workflow overheads and total costs, including IT, scale linearly with the GridION system.

If 'Test' is an ordinary class, is there any difference between:
Test* test = new Test;
Test* test = new Test();
If 'Test' is an ordinary class, is there any difference between:
Let's get pedantic, because there are differences that can actually affect your code's behavior. Much of the following is taken from comments made to an "Old New Thing" article.
Sometimes the memory returned by the new operator will be initialized, and sometimes it won't depending on whether the type you're newing up is a POD (plain old data), or if it's a class that contains POD members and is using a compiler-generated default constructor.
In a C++98 compiler, the following should occur:
In a C++03 conformant compiler, things should work like so:
So in all versions of C++ there's a difference between "
And there's a difference in behavior between C++98 and C++03 for the case "
This is one of the dusty corners of C++ that can drive you crazy. When constructing an object, sometimes you want/need the parens, sometimes you absolutely cannot have them, and sometimes it doesn't matter.
No, they are the same. But there is a difference between:
This is because of the basic C++ (and C) rule: If something can possibly be a declaration, then it is a declaration.
Edit: Re the initialisation issues regarding POD and non-POD data, while I agree with everything that has been said, I would just like to point out that these issues only apply if the thing being new'd or otherwise constructed does not have a user-defined constructor. If there is such a constructor it will be used. For 99.99% of sensibly designed classes there will be such a constructor, and so the issues can be ignored.
Assuming that Test is a class with a defined constructor, there's no difference. The latter form makes it a little clearer that Test's constructor is running, but that's about it.
In general we have default-initialization in first case and value-initialization in second case.
For example: in case with int (POD type):
next behaviour depended from your type Test. We have defferent cases: Test have defult constructor, Test have generated default constructor, Test contain POD member, non POD member...
"new Thing();" is explicit that you want a constructor called whereas "new Thing;" is taken to imply you don't mind if the constructor isn't called.
If used on a struct/class with a user-defined constructor, there is no difference. If called on a trivial struct/class (e.g. struct Thing { int i; }) then "new Thing;" is like "malloc(sizeof(Thing));" whereas "new Thing();" is like "calloc(sizeof(Thing));" - it gets zero initialized.
The gotcha lies in-between:
The behavior of "new Thingy;" vs "new Thingy();" in this case changed between C++98 and C++2003. See Michael Burr's explanation for how and why.

Luther Campbell in fight for right to coach high school football in Miami
Story Highlights
Former 2 Live Crew member is making a difference coaching high school football
Campbell coached three years on a temporary certificate, needs a permanent one
Administrative judge has recommended approving certificate; opposition remains
Miami Northwestern High's defensive coordinator stood before his players last month with a marker in his hand and a board full of plays at his back. "Any time in this game we're going to check goal line, I'm going to go Eagle," he yelled, referring to a blitz call. "We're going to hit the quarterback all night." The players nodded. Some smiled. Some scowled.
His pregame chalk talk concluded, the coordinator bounded over to the offense. He told those players to score so often that the host, Vero Beach High, would be forced to use a running clock in the second half. As he returned to the defensive side of the locker room, the coordinator noticed a young defensive tackle with his jersey hanging down to his hips. "Shirts in," he yelled, staring at the sophomore playing his first spring game with the varsity. Then the coordinator smirked. "We kick asses," he said, "with class."
The coordinator knows more about moving posteriors than he does about kicking them. Long before he became the coordinator -- before his players were even born -- he was known by several names. To his family and before the U.S. Supreme Court, he was Luther Campbell. To the fans who bought the raunchy albums he produced as a solo artist and as a member of 2 Live Crew, he was known as Luke Skyywalker (until George Lucas sued him), Uncle Luke or just plain Luke. To Tipper Gore and the others who called his music obscene, he was Public Enemy No. 1.
Now, Campbell wants to be known by one phrase: Coach Luke. In August, he'll enter his fourth season as a high school assistant coach -- if Florida's Education Practices Commission will let him. For the past three seasons (two at Miami Central and one at Northwestern), Campbell has coached using a temporary certification. That certification expires at the end of the 2012-13 school year. To continue coaching in Miami-Dade County after that, Campbell will need a permanent certificate.
An administrative judge has recommended that Campbell be allowed to coach, but last week the Florida Department of Education appealed that recommendation. In the appeal, the department's attorney, Charles Whitelock, wrote that "the Petitioner lacks the required good moral character" to coach students. The state has investigated Campbell's past and present, and the Education Practices Commission will have to decide sometime this summer whether it should allow one of the men behind Me So Horny -- and other songs whose titles aren't printable in a family publication -- to influence high-schoolers.
On May 15, Judge Robert Meale recommended that the Education Practices Commission approve Campbell's certificate. Shocked? Not half as shocked as the inner-city coaches and community leaders who can't believe this process has taken so long. To the nation, Campbell may be a symbol of when hip-hop went naughty. In Miami's Liberty City neighborhood, he is the man who started a youth football program and has kept it running strong for more than 20 years. He is the taskmaster who tracks down absent mothers to sign insurance forms. He is the coach who lets players stay at his house when they need a momentary escape from one of Miami's most dangerous areas. He is the man who encourages his players to get out of their troubled situations by going to college and graduating. He would love if they all made it to the NFL, but he knows that won't happen. He wants only for them to earn degrees so they can have what he has: a house in a safe neighborhood with a wife, a toddler and a Cocker Spaniel.
"You might not play a day in the NFL, but you can get an education," Campbell said. "That's your whole, primary goal. You can get your education and live a productive life and do something with yourself other than standing on the corner."
But Campbell is also the man who executive produced an album (As Nasty as They Wanna Be) that was declared obscene by a federal judge and who still makes club appearances trading on the fame he acquired as a performer.
Campbell's case brings up several fascinating societal questions. Among them:
How long should a man's past be held against him?
In a community that needs as much help as it can get, can the government afford to turn away a man who has demonstrated himself capable of creating positive change in the lives of young people because the way that man earns a living, while legal, is considered morally questionable by some?
An attorney named Kristin has asked that second question to herself a lot these past few months. "It's not a school that people are running in to help," she said of Miami Northwestern. "How are you preventing someone who is running in and helping as many people as he can?" Kristin isn't Campbell's attorney. She is his wife. They met at a deli during her second year of law school at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. Campbell, a diehard Miami fan, married Kristin in 2008 despite the fact that she earned a bachelor's degree at Florida State.
Kristin, an Army brat who went to high school in the Dallas area, didn't comprehend the kind of poverty that afflicts her husband's old neighborhood until they began dating. Campbell brought Kristin to visit his youth football program, the Liberty City Optimist Club Warriors, and work with the cheerleaders. Since Campbell began coaching at the high school level in 2009, Kristin has learned even more. Once, she didn't understand why a player had spent an entire weekend at the Campbells' house. Days later, the player told her he had seen a dead body near his home and fled to the place he considered the safest.
A visitor to Liberty City turns off Interstate 95 at exit 6B. Behind the wall that hides the neighborhood from tourists bound for Miami Beach, Coconut Grove and the Keys is a scarred landscape of sagging buildings. Northwestern High stands on Northwest 71st Street behind an iron fence. While the neighborhood has been depressed for years, the school and its football program have always provided a source of pride. In 2007, Northwestern's football team won the state title in Florida's largest division, and USA Today declared the Bulls the nation's best team. The school provides an oasis for students from the gangs that operate nearby, but eventually, those kids have to go home. In February, a Northwestern student named Brandon Allen was shot in the throat while walking home from school.
Campbell, 51, understands the neighborhood. He grew up in Liberty City. He was lucky. He had two parents who taught him to work hard. His Bahamian mother was a beautician, and his Jamaican father was a custodian. Campbell's four older brothers all graduated from college. But he still saw the drug dealing and violence that plagued the neighborhood, still had to hit the ground when he heard the gunshots.
The Miami-area travel brochures never mention Liberty City. Most of them focus on the glitz of Miami Beach. Every school day, a bus took a young Campbell across a causeway to that Miami. Beginning in junior high, Campbell attended school and played football in Miami Beach. At 10 or 11 every school night, that bus dropped Campbell back into the reality of Liberty City. He swore that if he ever made money, he would start a youth football league so elementary and junior high boys in Liberty City wouldn't have to board a bus to play.

Active Versus Passive: Which Do You Choose?
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
How involved do you want to be with selecting individual stocks and securities? Though there is no right or wrong answer, it is an important question to ask. The answer has definitive implications for the types of investment vehicles you use. Two factors can help you determine the answer: your personal inclinations and the level of expenses you are prepared to incur.
Personal Inclinations
How likely are you to research individual stocks, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)? Consider both your personal interest level and your available time before answering. Do you enjoy analyzing financial statements, dissecting business models, staying on top of relevant financial news and sorting through fund return information? Alternatively, how much time can you realistically put into managing your portfolio?

After more than 25 years in investing,the Vanguard 500 index is the only fund that lost me money during the past 10 years.I have had good success with carefully researched active funds,and because of my age I now favor balanced funds.
Augustine from Texas posted over 3 years ago:
Kenneth from Idaho posted over 2 years ago:
The empirical data show that over the very long term on a risk-adjusted basis, neither timing strategies nor stock-picking strategies have added value. This is especially true for taxable accounts. Though there are some funds and managers that have "beat the market" over a 10 or even 20 year period, they are very few, difficult to identify in advance, and they frequently under-perform in subsequent periods.
It is interesting to note that Benjamin Graham, in one of his last interviews, effectively endorsed index funds and said that it may no longer be possible to identify the stocks that will out-perform.
In addition, Warren Buffet has a 10 year wager that an S&P 500 index fund will beat a set of hedge funds selected by a hedge fund manager. It is four years into the wager and they are virtually tied.
Given the difficulty and uncertainty in beating the market, why not pick the allocation that meets your situation and buy the appropriate mix of index funds given that they will beat the vast majority of active funds over the long term?
Ferdinand from Delaware posted about 1 year ago:
The topic active vs passive investing is to simple and deserves further discussion. For example, Investing in active international funds may be preferred to investing in international ETF's ; some Bond Investment categories
can only be invested in mutual funds etc. AAII can explain why this is so!
The soundest investment strategy is still a well balanced portfolio with an asset allocation using active and passive funds, consummate with the individual investors risk profile - and the discipline to rebalance the portfolio at specific intervals to "sell high and buy low". A mathematical analysis would show that with rebalancing , the investor would not have lost money with the Vanguard 500 Index.
At least for me, successful investing in active funds and ETFs requires a disciplined approach, selecting a balanced portfolio, an asset mix of equities and bonds according to the investors age based risk tolerance. THere is no way around investing some time to manage a portfolio - loosing money by chasing the hot fund of the day is easy, making an adequate return on one's investment requires some diligence.
AAII provides all the tools and research needed for the individual investor to be successful over time. Also, Ihave found the regional chapter meetings to be very useful in the learning process that really never stops.

In my active and passive investing experience over 55 years, I believe that using a personal evaluation progam and the Investor's Business Daily- monday edition for data provides a disciplined effective basis for development of a personal mediun risk, asset allocation Portfolio. The Portfolio will consist of selected high quality, Buy/Hold catgory rated individual stocks,REITS and bonds provides a capability of beating other investment methods and eliminating all hidden and active management fees.

Is Joe McCarthy back again, looking for trolls in the woodpile? Agenda 21 is not an international conspiracy. Neither are our public agencies irresponsible to the public interest or tools of despotism. Those who raise these issues are misguided by extremist propaganda or the fear factor. Agenda 21 is nothing more than a non-binding agreement among nations to work together to help make communities more self-sufficient and less carbon intensive. It does not require anyone to do anything. It is simply a framework of agreement to help us work collaboratively together for all of our benefit. This agreement was signed by President George H.W. Bush and upheld by Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Just as Joe McCarthy did in the 50s, the promoters of this so-called conspiracy, like the John Birch Society, are using fear to their advantage. There is no scheme to take private property, relocate people, or redistribute wealth as pundits have day-dreamed.
It's too bad the Montrose County Commissioners were misguided enough to draft a resolution in opposition. In the global age in which we live we need more, not less, international dialogue, agreements, and collaboration, let alone realizing the global impact that all of us have. We are no longer an island on the world stage. We need to lead, not bury our heads, or be driven by fear-mongers.
– Wayne Quade, Montrose

Madonna is known for her snippy celeb feuds -- she's butted heads with everyone from Lady Gaga to Elton John -- but her on and off battle with Prince just won't die. Will these two pop royals ever call a truce?
Two years ago, we thought they had. At the time, Rolling Stone reported that the duo had ended their decades-long feud after Madonna turned up at The Artist's NYC's Madison Square Garden concert. Prince even gave Madge a friendly shout-out during the show. This, after a decade of back and forth jabs, during which the Material Girl called the "Purple Rain" singer "a little troll," while he slammed her growing family with: "I got more hits than Madonna's got kids."
But after two years of playing nice, in a recent interview with Billboard magazine, Prince dished another dig to his longtime nemesis. While talking about his onetime relationship with Warner Bros. Records, he told the magazine, "It was always about Madonna. She was getting paid, but at the same time we were selling more records and selling out concerts on multiple nights."
We're sure Madonna will have a retort, but for now here's a look at five musical falling-outs that have actually been resolved -- for now, anyway.
Travis Tritt and Billy Ray Cyrus
When county star Travis Tritt called Billy Ray Cyrus's 1992 hit song "frivolous," and dubbed the accompanying video as "an a -- wiggling contest," the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer got in the last word when he won the American Music Award for Favorite Country Singer. "As far as I'm concerned, to those people who don't like 'Achy Breaky Heart,' here's a quarter, call someone who cares!" Cyrus gloated, referencing the title of Tritt's 1991 single. But according to The Boot, the pair patched things up when they performed together at the memorial for Waylon Jennings.
Taylor Swift and Kanye West
In 2009, rapper Kanye West famously jumped on the stage at MTV's Video Music Awards in the middle of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for the Female Video of the Year, saying "I'm gonna let you finish," before declaring that Beyonce deserved the title. A swift backlash ensued, and the rapper later apologized with a lengthy blog post, but still declared Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" the "best video of the decade." Swift later told ABC News Radio: "Kanye did call me, and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted his apology."
Eminem and Elton John
While these two polar opposites didn't have an out-and-out feud, their disdain for each other was widely assumed (Eminem was a rapper spewing homophobic lyrics, while Elton John is openly gay.) So imagine everyone's shock when this odd couple teamed up at the 2001 Grammy Awards for a duet of the rapper's song "Stan." Eminem told MTV News: "I was like, 'The only way I'll perform at the Grammys is with Elton John.' The idea of it started becoming more, 'OK, this is a way to really flip it around and really f--- people's heads up… But being that he was gay and he had my back, I think it made a statement in itself saying that he understood where I was coming from." Eminem later revealed that Sir Elton helped him beat his addiction to painkillers.
Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd
This legendary Southern rock scuffle began after Neil Young talked racism in the songs "Alabama" and "Southern Man," and Lynyrd Skynyrd responded by calling Mr. Young out in the song "Sweet Home Alabama." But in a 2012 interview, Young said that he took the "Sweet Home Alabama" mention as a compliment, and revealed that he was friendly with the band and had been planning to collaborate with the Southern rockers right before their fatal 1977 plane crash. The would-be song? "Powderfinger."
Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey
The jury's still out on this one, since the live "American Idol" episodes haven't even started yet, which means Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey will be spending plenty of quality time together very soon. But the bad blood between the show's resident dueling divas has at least cooled. Following a mega blowout last fall during the North Carolina auditions, the girls have seemingly agreed to disagree -- or at least put on their happy faces (albeit, with the occasional eye roll). According to Us Weekly, Minaj recently downplayed the rumors of a feud, saying "Have you ever had an argument with someone you work with?" And when a reporter asked the pop superstars how things got better between the two of them, Minaj answered, "I put on my sex tape." Well, that's one way!

"Beloved" is a labyrinth of French love stories that wind their way from 1968 to the near-present, pausing along the way to employ the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia and the 9/11 attacks as historical backdrops. It uses Catherine Deneuve and her real-life daughter Chiara Mastroianni as Madeleine and her daughter Vera, and Ludivine Sagnier as a younger version of Madeleine.
The film opens with a French cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walking," as a narration by Vera explains how her mother stole a pair of high-fashion shoes and was mistaken for a hooker. Madeleine paused a moment, thought why not? and later tells Vera that the shoes were responsible for making her a prostitute. In this new career, she meets a young Czech doctor named Jaromil (Rasha Bukvic), falls in love with him, breaks up, follows him to Czechoslovakia, marries him and has their daughter, Vera. Later in life, he reappears, now played by Czech director Milos Forman.
Are you with me? One of the charms of "Beloved" is the way it uses movie legends. Deneuve and Forman you know. You also know Chiara Mastroianni, whose father was Marcello Mastroianni. After dozens of movies, I am so intensely familiar with the faces of Deneuve and Mastroianni that it is a thing of beauty to see both their faces reflected in hers. No one would ever say "she looks like her father" or "her mother." She looks like both, the heiress of cinematic royalty.
What does the writer-director Christophe Honoré do with these characters and their casting? With the casting, he has no problem. His actresses are all wondrous to behold, and Forman is surprisingly engaging as the doctor. But the plot of "Beloved," I'm afraid, may try your patience.
Both Madeleine and Vera have a gift for choosing unreliable men. With Vera, it is a gay American named Henderson (Paul Schneider) and Clement (Louis Garrel), her patient best friend. They choose them, and choose them again and again, and spend the movie steeping in melancholy and futility.
There is another problem. Honoré puts his film on hold six or seven times while the characters half-sing, half-recite the lyrics to banal songs explaining the meaning of what we've just seen, which is all too comprehensible the first time around.
"Beloved" evokes some of the fine moments in the careers of Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni, but it doesn't re-create them.

The National Institute for Early Education Research's (NIEER) annual survey of state funded pre-K programs shows impressive expansion in enrollment and spending. However, the recession may curtail early education opportunities for children in lower and middle-income families. Spending per child is up and so is the quality of state preschool education. But the picture is not all rosy. Twelve states have no state-funded preschools. And nine states— including California, Florida, New York, and North Carolina—have proposed cuts to their preschool programs.
Even though quality is up generally, five states meet fewer than half the NIEER quality benchmarks including California, Texas and Florida – states with large populations and numbers of children in pre-K.
NIEER was established in 2001, with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts, to provide objective, nonpartisan, research-based information on early childhood education initiatives.

Atlantic General Hospital Receives Trailblazer Award from EPA
Posted Date: 12/2/2009
Hospital one of six in state recognized for leadership in enhancing sustainability and reducing impact in the environment.
Atlantic General Hospital recently announced that it has received the Environmental Protection Agency's prestigious Trailblazer Award. Atlantic General, along with five other Maryland hospitals, was recognized during a regional conference, titled "Environmental Excellence in Health Care: Greening Maryland Hospitals," held at the University of Maryland School of Nursing in early November.
The Trailblazer Award is bestowed upon model hospitals in Maryland that have made advanced efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and support sustainable practices, lessening their impact on the environment through a variety of measures.
Atlantic General Hospital received the award for implementing performance contracting resulting in energy and water conservation. In February 2008, Atlantic General signed a 10-year energy efficiency contract with Johnson Controls. The 15-part project that included upgrading to high efficiency lighting fixtures, increasing insulation, installing passive occupancy sensors, and using low flow water fixtures among other retrofits and upgrades, was completed in May 2008.
While the hospital will realize gradual financial savings to recuperate the contractual costs with Johnson Controls over a 10-year period, the positive effects on the environment are immediate and cumulative.
"It is our responsibility to our community to meet our mission for health care service delivery, and to be a responsible corporate citizen," states Michael Franklin, president and CEO of Atlantic General. "We live in a very environmentally conscious region, and it is important for us to contribute to a sustained healthy environment."
Over the next 10 years, the improvements that Atlantic General Hospital has made to reduce energy consumption are guaranteed to reduce CO2 emissions caused by electricity generation and the burning of fossil fuels by more than 4790 tons.
This reduction in released CO2, the primary greenhouse gas culprit in global warming, translates to over 14,000 trees planted; it would take this number of trees to absorb the over 10,500,000 saved pounds of CO2. The CO2 savings is also the equivalent of removing the emissions of over 1,000 cars. Over the life of the contract, the conserved electricity, in particular, would supply enough power to 935 houses for one year. And, the upgrades to the bathroom and sink fixtures throughout the facility will save 860,000 gallons of water each year, meaning that over the 10-year haul, 8.6 million gallons of water saved or the equivalent of almost 500 in ground swimming pools.
In a press release issued by the EPA, Virginia Thompson, sustainable healthcare sector manager for the mid-Atlantic region, said, "These hospitals are successfully demonstrating leadership and innovation in reducing their environmental footprint. They have undertaken a challenging task and have produced measurable results in many cases, demonstrating what can be accomplished when hospitals take advantage both of senior executive support and grounds-up initiative from across the hospitals' many departments."
