Protosequence (Band Interview)
Today we speak to Protosequence.
Let's start with this: What's the history of your band?
Protosequence was just an idea in our original vocalists head. After meeting Kyle, Marshall brought all the members (Logan, Parker, Kyle, Ryan) together to form Protosequence. After some time Joe was introduced into the band as the current vocalist. Once we secured this line up Protosequence were introduced into the Edmonton music scene. From there we toured throughout Alberta and dabbled into BC. As we progressed Ryan wanted to explore more of his life and that is where Jacob Teeple stepped up as our current bassist. 2017 has been a big year for us and looking forward to 2018.
What's your musical history? (Trained or Amateur)?
We are all self taught musicians. Kyle in the last few years has been enrolled into Grant MacEwan jazz guitar program.
So what can you tell us about your latest album? (Inspiration. Sound. Style.)
Biophagous is a collaborative effort among all the members of the band. We drew influences from several genres, trying to mould them into a cohesive sound. Everything from Tech-death, to deathcore and even some progressive metalcore.
How did you go about making it?
We wrote the songs together in the jam space and then contacted Peter Zawalski for help with pre programming drums. After this was completed we went into Hillbilly Wizard Sound with Greg Wright to record drums and vocals. Tylor Dory tracked guitars and piano. Then we sent the album off to Chris Foster with First Strike Recordings for mixing and mastering.
Anything you've learnt as you've gone along? Or have you simply tried a bit of everything to see how it works?
Recording Pre-Pro and writing beyond our capabilities has proven to be a beneficial process. Also having a strict jam schedule.
What sort of technology and instruments do you work with?
Joe uses EV Microphones. Parker uses SKB cases, Jackson Guitars, EMG pickups, Ernie Ball strings, Gruv Gear fretwraps, Line 6 Pod HD Pro X, an Orange cabinet, and an ART SDA-1 power amplifier. Kyle uses Gator cases, Agile Guitars, EMG pickups, Evertune bridge, Ernie Ball strings, Line 6 Pod HD Pro X, an Egnater cabinet and an ART SDA-1 power amplifier. Jacob uses Ibanez basses, a Traynor cabinet, Circle K strings, and a Traynor head. Along with various pedals. Logan uses Mapex drums, Sabian cymbals, Trick pedals, Evans drum heads, and Los Cabos sticks.
Anything you're keen to use on your next album?
We have a few tricks up our sleeves…
Any future plans for your solo work, or do you have other projects on the horizon?
Parker and Logan help with guitar and drums in fellow Edmonton band Tales of the Tomb occasionally.
Any plans for upcoming live shows?
We will have a cd release show in Edmonton at the end of August/ beginning of September.
Let's have a few general questions now. What do you see as a musicians role in society?
Much like the blood sports of ancient Rome, musician's serve to help people cope with the harsh realities of life.
How's the scene different in your country to what we're familiar with? Anything unique to your country?
Not sure what your scene is like but Edmonton has a strong, diverse music scene. A lot of unique talent across a lot of different genres
Where do you stand on music videos? Do you see their value in today's world?
Music Videos are awesome! Its nice to have a visual accompaniment to a song.
If you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be?
More people actually supporting bands and less shit-talking online.
Any advice for new bands?
Get out there, attend some shows, and play some shows. Have fun!
Let's have some generic questions. Star Wars or Star Trek?
Star Wars.
Sci-Fi or Fantasy?
Books or Comics?
Books all the way.
Trump or Putin?
Anything you'd like to tell our readers?
Make sure to pick up your copy of Biophagous on Bandcamp. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram!
Any last words for our readers?
Stay Greasy.

city of cape town working towards a carbon neutral future
Submitted by incoming on Wed, 2012-04-25 10:20
The City of Cape Town has taken another step towards the fostering of green energy and reducing Cape Town's carbon footprint.
The Mayoral Committee has recommended to Council that it establishes an Energy & Climate Change Committee at its Council meeting on Thursday 26 April.
This committee will ensure that Cape Town's energy plan reduces the City's carbon footprint according to set targets and timelines with the goal of making the city carbon neutral. This will be achieved through the promotion of green energies, as well as improvements in Cape Town's energy efficiency relating to industrial, commercial and domestic consumption of energy.
Once established by Council, the committee will make recommendations on the technological, regulatory and the behavioral changes required to improve the energy efficiency of the City and to reduce its carbon footprint. Much has already been done, but the City recognizes that there is still much that can be done in making Cape Town's use of resources as efficient as possible.
The City of Cape Town takes the issue of climate change seriously and this committee will also ensure that the city becomes more resilient and adaptable with respect to its effects.
developing sustainable energy plans
The committee will profile the current energy consumption patterns of Cape Town and will use this information to develop sustainable energy plans for the short and long term which may utilize wind power, solar/photovoltaic power, gas, wave energy, hydro-electricity, biogas, biomass, or any combination of these sources of energy.
It is recognized that the success of these energy plans relies upon the development of a financial and funding model that ensures a stable revenue stream during the process of shifting Cape Town's energy profile towards cleaner sources of energy. The Energy and Climate Change Committee will be responsible for developing such a model, as well as ensuring that the energy plan is in line with national, provincial and other legal and regulatory requirements.
The move towards cleaner energy sources must also benefit local green industries. The committee will draw on international best practice and will also focus on local research, design and innovation to ensure that the city's energy plan maximises local job creation and economic benefits for the city.
The City of Cape Town is committed to developing a city with a sustainable clean energy base and to reducing its energy consumption to appropriate levels.

And if we already have thought what we are going to put but we still have not decided the complements … We start by the feet!
All the brands are already taking out their party collections and the shoes could not be missing!
I have never bought shoes from H & M and the truth is that I have not even raised it but I have noticed that every day they are putting more batteries with the design (although the quality is another to sing)!
The collection is not very extensive but I have noticed these peep toes in satin and gold and the lounge fuchsia, Louboutin style!
If you do not want to make big investments … At H & M you will surely find something!
Many more choices! You have from Special Price references that you can do the job, even much more special models by design, qualities, details … (such as my wonderful sandals … :))
Sandals, peep toes, salons, undone, with rhinestones, hair, velvet … Anyone give more?
There is also not much variety but you have the basics at a reasonable price and other models more trend like sandals, although these specifically do not know if they will be very comfortable, in the Mango web do not get them very well!
I have never bought shoes there, but there is a lot of variety!!! For the next week we prepare a post so you can see how easy it is to buy!
We will continue reviewing shoes next week!!! We hope you like our proposals!

I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon than champagne, cupcakes, pretty lingerie & fabulous clothes! Primrose Park opened it's Woodbury location last November and they specialize in stylish, comfortable, and feminine clothes (that won't break the bank, either!). They also feature a great selection of jewelry, accessories, and locally made gifts. The photos below are of their store including a photo of owner Jennifer Carnahan and manager Kendall Green. If boutique shopping makes your heart go pitter-patter (like it does mine) be sure to check them out and tell them we sent you!
Our clients sure are creative when it comes to incorporating their personalities into the photos. These spice drops certainly add a fun pop of color and texture to these playful photos. We have had clients bring lots of unique props but this candy was a first for us. It was so fun to incorporate them into the photos!
We are so excited for our friends at Flirt Boutique! They recently opened a second location in the North Loop in Minneapolis. The romantic parisian decor coupled with their stunning lingerie makes for a fabulous destination for a girls night out. Join us November 14 from 4-8pm as we celebrate their grand opening! Information on the graphic below.
Come see us at Pop-up Minneapolis this Friday 10/30 from 4-9 and Saturday 10/31 from 10-2 at Pinstripes in Edina! We'll be participating in our first pop-up event and we're very excited!

We have just what you need! We're offering sessions in both November and December to ensure we can help you out with your gift-giving this holiday season!

Hello, Crafters.
I have an early start this morning as the appointment for my MRI scan is at 8.50 am!
The journey to the hospital normally takes about 40 minutes but at this time of day - rush hour and the school run - it's going to take ages!
I really should have asked for a later appointment - oh well, never mind, I'll cope!
After showing you project 3 yesterday and comparing it with thumping, I decided to make thumping no 4.
It took me a few goes before I learned the dos and don'ts of successful thumping!
What I could remember from the demonstration I saw a few years ago was that the chosen stamp should be inked via an ink pad with the lightest colour.
Then the medium colour was "thumped" on via the brush end of a marker in a random manner over the image.
Then the darkest colour was "thumped" over the image. Then the stamp was huffed on to re-moisten it, then stamped.
My first attempt can best be described as pathetic! LOL!
I used the tall fir tree stamp from Lovely As A Tree Stamp Set and it looked amazingly sparse, almost bald even!
I tried it again but with more thumping and the overall result was better but the lower centre resembled a splodge!
For my third attempt, I decided not to stamp the lightest colour via the ink pad, instead, I used the marker pen to paint all over the tree.
Then I thumped with the medium and darker colours which gave me a greatly improved image i.e. the tree looked fuller and healthier but there wasn't much definition in the colours......at last, I was making progress!
On to attempt no. 4 I painted the lightest colour, Pear Pizzazz all over the tree.
Then with the medium colour, Garden Green, I thumped all over the tree but sparsely.
Finally, with the darkest colour, Always Artichoke, I thumped all over the tree but again, sparsely.
I huffed on the stamp and stamped onto a piece of Whisper White card stock. Success!
By the way, I used Early Espresso down the trunk and across the ground before huffing and stamping.
I was happy with the result, which is the tree I've used for the card you can see here!
I think maybe I should make a video of this technique to share what I learned yesterday.
When I showed hubby this card, his first reaction was that the tree looks as if it's coming out at you, very 3D!
I can't see it but it must be the three different colours used for the branches, although the changes in the colours are quite subtle.
I'm not going through how I made this card except to say the sentiment is from the Peaceful Pines Stamp Set and stamped in Pear Pizzazz.
I punched it out using the Extra Large Oval Punch and then decorated around the edge with the holly stamp from the Oh What Fun Stamp Set.
Now that I've tried both techniques, each of them is better in its own way, for different results.
With Dauber Dancing it is easier to control where the colour goes and thumping is far more random.
Going forward, I'll definitely be using both techniques in my work.
I hope you've enjoyed the comparison I've made and that you'll give both techniques a try - I don't think you'll be disappointed!
Until tomorrow, happy crafting.

Somedays I just can't seem to get my stuff together. Today, I was able to finish the last two cards...and complete the challenge, so I figured it's about time I got at least this one posted!

From Centerville, Utah, USA:
My 15 year daughter, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about nine months ago, has always had very good control (hemoglobin A1cs under 7%), but this week she started having extremely high blood sugars (300-600+ mg/dl [16.7-33.3 mmol/L]), and her ketones have been trace to large. Her doctor (who is a very good diabetic specialist) has responded by dramatically increasing her insulin, but the best we can do is get her down to 300 mg/dl [16.7 mmol/L].
She was given two liters of fluid at the ER a couple of days ago and that made her feel better. While at the ER, she was tested for underlying causes (infection, etc.), but was cleared. Her doctor didn't hospitalize her, saying that they would treat her the same there as at home (meaning more and more insulin). I am concerned that she has been so high for so long (going on day six), even if the ketones have not gotten to a critical stage. Is there anything else we can do?
I'd change bottles of insulin and see if the insulin vials are spoiled. Also, make sure that there is no underlying other illnesses, adrenal disease, celiac disease, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, etc. Sometimes, teens go through a period of depression and omit their insulin. We coined a term for this called "diabulimia." Questions about weight and eating disorders, unhappiness with weight and body image sometimes provide a clue to omitted insulin. Such omissions are almost always denied by parents and teens. However, the best way to discover if this is a possibility is to have a parent actually administer all insulin doses for a two week period and to also keep strict control of all insulin vials and all syringes to be sure that an adult who is responsible knows exact amounts of insulin actually being utilized.
Stay in close contact with your daughter's diabetes team and perhaps even have a private consultation -- without your daughter present -- with the diabetes team to problem-solve together.

The Evolution of Horror
The images used with the presentation are here: Presentation
The sky above you, once so clear and blue, darkens. The gigantic glowing ball in the sky kisses the edge of your world. You make your way back to the cave that you and your tribe had found shelter in. You and your brethren gather around the fire and settle in for the night. Beyond the fire's glow a howl pierces the night, and as you drift off the sounds send chills down your back. You know these monsters, these beasts, you have fought them, have watched your fellow neanderthals fall to their blows. You fear the darkness that surrounds the fire's edge. You can see the eyes of the beast reflecting the light of flame, and wonder to yourself, what else could the darkness be hiding?
Horror has been around since those ancient times, when bumps in the night could mean life and death. As humans became able to question what happens in the world and to acquire philosophies, they developed religions. While the beginnings of religion are questionable and there are many theories as to why it developed, some anthropologists claim that it evolved for the nurture of children, that it began as revitalization movement and that "it seems apparent that one thing religion or belief helps us do is deal with problems of human life that are significant, persistent, and intolerable." So according to this theory, we developed religion to deal with the unknowns that faced us, to make death and ailments and the other problems we faced something manageable, and through these beliefs we found a new reason for living, finding peace and loved ones in the afterlife, or just the idea that the soul would live on after death in some form, would give comfort.
So there is one half of the origins of horror as we know it today. Religion. The first rationalization of negative forces active in the world, personified by deities, profits, and gods. Religion introduces ideas on death, the afterlife, and evil that horror focuses on.
The other half of the origin of horror is in folklore. The principles and ideas of evil, which were embodied in the devil, Hades, Set, Loki, all evil deities from the religions, took up form in lore, myths, and legends that were passed down through the generations. These were illustrated in stories of witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and demonic pacts.
Each culture has the tales of what mystical creature would come and steal away a child that refused to listen to their parents. They are stories about retribution for those who have done bad, warnings about innocent people meeting bad ends, and so on. Now in that regard it is easy to see the correlation between religions and folklores of cultures, both which are the basis that horror as a genre grew into what it is today.
Now that we have the roots established, let's take a step back and ask ourselves, just what is horror. One of the defining traits of the genre of horror is that it provokes a response, either emotional, psychological or physical, within readers, or watchers, that causes them to react with fear.
One of H.P. Lovecraft's(one of my most favorite authors and a 20th century horror writer) most famous quotes about the genre is that: "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." Which brings this whole thing back to the origin of horror which, as I've covered, was religion and folklore, which used the legends, myths, and tales to bring life to the unknown in an attempt to deal with and overcome the fear it causes.
With that all established, we will move forward on this terrifying expedition, and jump to the 18th century. With the publication of The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole, gothic horror became an established genre. Pulling on the same roots we discussed earlier, this novel was considered the first book that included aspects of the supernatural, instead of the pure realism that was favored at the time. Published in 1764 under the full title the Castle of Otranto, A Story. Translated by William Marshal, Gent. From the Original Italian of Onuphrio Muralto, Canon of the Church of St. Nicholas at Otranto. It made itself out to be, and was believed by all to be a translated manuscript from Naples, which was written in the 1500s and was derived from a story still older.
The story was of a boy on his way to marry a princess had a giant helmet fall from the sky and kill him, which played into an old prophecy about when their family would lose their lordship over Otranto. The boys father divorces his wife and attempts to marry the princess his son was supposed to marry, but she had ran off with with a peasant who turns out to be the bastard son of the father who was trying to marry her. The father ends up killing his own daughter and marrying the princess. It's an entire drama.
When the populace found out that they had been duped, and it was actually a fictitious contemporary novel, many found it anachronistic, reactionary, or just in plain old bad tastes. Even so it continued to be immediately popular, and when it was called on to have a second edition published he said he felt he should explain the grounds on which he composed the piece and he says that it was "an attempt to blend the two kinds of romance, the ancient and the modern. In the former all was imagination and improbability: in the latter, nature is always intended to be, and sometimes has been, copied with success..."
And that was the first gothic horror story, which went on to inspire plenty of 18th century works such as Vathek by William B. Beckford, The mysteries of Udolpho and the Italian by Ann Radcliffe, The Monk by Matthew Lewis and many more, plenty written by women and aimed for the female demographic, and containing a scenario of a resourceful female protagonist menaced in a castle.
So to make this whole spiel relevant to this class. Let's talk about how religion, folklore, and The Castle of Otranto all come together and bring us into the 19th century. The 19th century was a grand time for horror. The Castle of Otranto had opened the floodgates and stoked our desire to delve into the unknown, the mystical, and the unbelievable. We have such classics as Frankenstien, which we have already read in this class, but we also have Dracula by Bram Stoker, Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray and many more.
Using our previous talk of folklore and mythings as a springing board, I would be very remiss not to start this part of the conversation with the very famous Grimm Brothers. When someone says horror you won't really think of the 7 happy dwarfs and a beautiful young princess singing merrily. Disney has done quite a number on the stories which were once a very good example at what horror could really be. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German academics who collected folklore from their travels. The rise of romanticism in the 19th century revived interest in traditional folk stories. They gathered their stories and they gained such popularity that we can still feel their effect, even today, with new renditions of snow white and the rest of their works coming out all the time.
Another big contributor to the horror genre, as I have mentioned is Dracula by Bram Stoker. Most of us know the premiss, if not have read it. While this has inspired pretty much all of the vampiric movies and books we have seen, it is a double edged blade, because while we have had the amazing books from Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire series, we also had to sit through that Twilight crap.
Now the man associated with everything horror is supposed to be. If you don't know Edgar Allan Poe, you have been living under a rock your entire life. A very influential writer from the 19th century, he is considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre, he has influenced the scifi genre as well as mystery and horror. His influence was greatly felt in his successor H.P. Lovecraft, who used the popularity and ease of publishing the cheap paperbacks and periodicals at the time to expand the genre, which was going in all directions.
According to the dictionary horror is an overwhelming and painful feeling caused by something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting. Its only true requirement is that it elicit an emotional reaction that includes some aspect of fear or dread. So, with that logic, the bible, the best selling book of all time, which has fallen angels, demonic possessions, and an apocalypse absolutely terrifying in its majesty all conveniently in one volume, rightfully would earn its place as a horror novel. So with that we have gone full circle and arrived at where we started, and I leave you with that.

Let the Professionals Do the Job for You!
Probably, there are things in your home that you do not pay lots of attention to. In majority of households, HVAC system, water heater, and furnace are among the systems and fixtures that people usually ignore until they break down. With a good home maintenance service provider, there are important things that must be taken care of and these include the following:
See http://newhomesinbowmanville.c… for more.
Keeping It Warm or Cool
If you require installation of ceiling fans, having professionals install it makes sense, especially if they're already taking care of all of your HVAC requirements. Ceiling fans are also a good way to distribute air whether you're trying to keep it cool or you just want to get hot air from your ceiling down to your floor. A ceiling fan that's well-placed will help you save money on heating bills.
Wall to Wall
Professional home maintenance service will help you with tons of things and once you already know the ones you're dealing with, it is simple to get them to come inside your home and do installation of your preferred flooring for instance. You will not also regret bringing in home maintenance service professionals that come to do your maintenance needs, whether it is for wood, tile, laminate or carpet, because you already know that they'll do their job right even for the first time.
Having Security
If you have a contract with the company to do routine maintenance for your home, you will get two kinds of security. The first one basically comes from the scheduled maintenance of the systems regularly. Like your truck or car, such systems need that the things like air filters may be changed and that ducts will be cleaned. This would keep them functioning at peak efficiency, which will let you save money on energy bills.
The second type of security may come from knowing that if there's an emergency, you have a company already that you trust to come into your house to do the job. You will not have to worry about trying to determine if the service is reliable for the reason that you'll have a relationship with them already. Majority of home maintenance professionals offer various kinds of services. While they might do the routine work often, there are some jobs that they're capable of doing quickly and with short notice. This kind of security is definitely worth having, particularly when your home is your biggest investment.
You can always do home maintenance through a DIY approach. But, if you don't have much time and you want to spend your free time for your loved ones instead of doing home maintenance jobs, then better let professionals do the work for you. In this way, you won't only be assured that your home is maintained well, but also it's in good hands as professionals do their job by treating your home as their own. So, expect results with the help of home maintenance professionals!

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
Lately I've heard a lot of chatter about bath salts (no, not the kind that turn people into flesh-eating vampires), and after reading that makeup guru Pat McGrath uses Himalayan detox salts due to the fact that they're like "like natural Valium," I became intrigued. Apparently, celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham also use Epsom salts to get flatter stomachs. Sign me up right now.
Aside from the above, Epsom salts have a laundry list of purported benefits, like helping fight jet lag, reducing muscle pain and cramps, reducing bloating, relieving constipation, and curing hangovers (amen!). Sounds too good to be true, right?
I really wanted to try out the stuff that McGrath swears by, but dropping $60 on a small container just didn't seem right. Instead, I settled on a giant three-pound bag of Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt Soaking Solution at Walmart for $5. Because salt is salt, right? (Side note: You can totally lift weights with these bags.)
After one bath, I became obsessed with Epsom salt — Dr. Teal's specifically, as its salts are also blended with aromatherapy oils for an all-around euphoric experience.
I tried the Refresh & Renew solution with rosemary and mint first. Two cups of salt and 45 minutes later, I was feeling so relaxed that I was practically drooling and could barely bring myself to get out of the tub. And within 10 minutes post-tub, I was sleeping like a baby, a process that usually takes about an hour of tossing and turning and having to listen to some major white noise.
I'm just pissed that it took me 32.5 years to try it out. All the sleepless nights, muscle aches, bloating, and — most importantly — brutal hangovers. You know, the kind that hit you in your late 20s and get more painful each year? Yeah, THOSE. In college, I'd get home super wasted at 3 a.m., wake up still boozy the next morning, go to yoga and sweat it all out, study and repeat. Nowadays, I need at least two days to recover, which brings me to the main point of all of this: testing it out as a cure for hangovers.
I woke up a few weeks ago with the worst hangover I've ever had to date. We're talking a head-pounding, dry-heaving, feeling-like-death kind of affair. So I crawled out of bed and managed to draw a hot bath and added two cups of my handy Dr. Teal's salts (this time I used Soften & Nourish with milk and honey). I brought a glass of water, because I knew I'd be dying for one and I'd be too hungover to get out of the bathtub when I realized I was thirsty. At any rate, it was a pretty miserable 30 minutes trying to keep my head up above water while soaking. Once I got out of the tub, though, I felt so much better — not like wanting-to-run-a-marathon better, but more of being able to function versus dying in bed for the remainder of the day.
I think I'm going to start traveling with it, too. Probably not with the three-pounder, because I usually don't have that much luggage room to spare, but maybe with a two-cup supply. Besides, it's at most mass-market consumer stores and drugstores, so it'd be pretty easy to find.
I've tried the jet-lag soak, and I think it would be amazing for a long international flight, too. It helps tremendously with post-flight bloating. What other uses have you discovered for Epsom salts? Are you a Dr. Teal's groupie?

2014 Phillies Report Card: Jimmy Rollins
We've come full circle. My first article for this site was a look at Jimmy Rollins' early-season success. It's fitting, then, that I was (randomly) tasked with evaluating the 14th season of the greatest shortstop in Phillies history. Because of his past performance for this team and a skill set that still plays very well at his position, I expect a lot of Jimmy Rollins, and I know many of you do as well. Overall, I love the way he plays. I love watching him play defense, which he does better than most shortstops in the league. But man, sometimes I hate watching his plate appearances.
So I was really pleased to see a .370 OBP after 34 games. I dug deep into his swing patterns because I wanted there to be, nay, I truly believed there was, a concrete explanation indicating he could maintain some semblance of a patient plate approach. Of course, I didn't expect him to maintain a .370 OBP for the season, but I did think he could manage a .340ish season. Well, Jimmy finished with a .323 OBP, which is basically just who he is as indicated by his career .327 OBP. He's finished with an OBP above .340 just three times in his career: 2004, 2007, and 2008. That was a long time ago.
I'm focusing so much on OBP because Jimmy hits on top of the lineup, and if you haven't heard, it's important for the hitters at the top of the lineup to get on base. However, I don't want to pretend any more that Rollins can be the player I want him to be, namely, one who gets on base more than 35% of the time. I accept him now for who he is and the skills he has – good defense, decent baserunning that only hints at his speed demon days, above average power for his position, and essentially league average hit tools.
Relative to his position, Rollins performed quite well in 2014. Among qualified shortstops, he finished 10th in plate appearances, 3rd in homers, runs, and steals, and 9th in RBI. His walk rate of 10.5% was SECOND in the league and was the highest of his career. His .151 ISO was 4th, and both his .319 wOBA and 102 wRC+ were 6th. Looking at the components of fWAR, his baserunning was 7th, his defense 6th, his offense 6th, and his overall 4th. Those are all pretty fantastic. By traditional and advanced metrics, Rollins was one of the best shortstops in the game this year. His offensive production was right up there with Hanley Ramirez, Ian Desmond, Jhonny Peralta, Starlin Castro, and Jose Reyes. Defensively, he's still elite enough to be graded out as similar to Erick Aybar or Alcides Escobar.
There's nothing overtly anomalistic in his batted ball numbers. So how did he manage to have a career-high walk rate but register a Jimmy Rollins OBP? A career high strikeout rate, that's how. He struck out 16.4% of the time, matching his career high from 2003. His 100 strikeouts, though unsurprising given the 2012 and 2013 trend he showed toward a higher whiff rate, were the most he recorded in a single season since 2003.
A 35-year-old shortstop who's been well past his peak for several years just put up a top-5 (at worst, top-7) season relative to his peers. That's solid gold, and worth significantly more than the $11 million he collected. His contract is up after next year, and while I expect Jimmy to stick around until 2017 (hmm, what's going to happen then?) there's really no way to know how long he'll be wearing red pinstripes. I'm going to enjoy Jimmy Rollins for who he is for as long as I can.

Patient portals have a lot of room for improvement as evidenced by the fact that providers do not have a high level of enthusiasm for their organizations current offerings from vendors.
That is the conclusion of the justreleased 2014 Patient Portal Study from HIMSS Analytics, its first Essentials Brief to focus on patient engagement, which HIMSS Analytics Research Director Brendan FitzGerald says is more than just todays hot topicit is foundational to the future of healthcare.
The report, which explore providers experiences with meaningful use Stage 2 patient engagement criteria, is based on insights from 125 U.S. hospitals and healthcare system IT executives with data from the HIMSS Analytics database.
While the findings of the report paint a positive picture of providers familiarity with MU2 requirements and current capabilities to satisfy these criteria and the adoption trajectory of patient portals suggests a growing market, HIMSS Analytics warns that there appears to be room for improvement from the patient portal solutions offered to the market as respondents were not necessarily passionate about their current solution.
As the report points out, patient portals typically come from the electronic health records vendors currently used by healthcare organizations and much of this growth seems to be facilitated by the availability of patient portal solutions offered by EHR vendors. However, HIMSS Analytics reveals that feedback from IT leaders also suggests some areas of concern surrounding patient engagement efforts. IT leaders for example, are not necessarily sold on the benefits of MU2 especially for clinicians.
Part of the problem, according to these IT leaders, is that cultural issues (e.g. attitudes towards ones role) within organizations are major challenges to overall patient engagement initiatives. While the perceived magnitude of these challenges can be diminished by having a patient engagement strategic plan in place, these findings are disconcerting given the fact many hospitals lean on IT leaders to drive the organizations patient engagement efforts, states the report. Leading an effort one finds difficult to defend/support or that typically lies outside of an IT leaders domain of experience/expertise can be extremely difficult, especially when the effort has the potential to negatively impact key hospital stakeholders (e.g. physicians).
And, when it comes to patient portal functionality, the report found that limited functions are being utilized by organizations. While nearly two-thirds (65.8 percent) of hospitals that have a patient portal installed use it for bill payment, providing patients access to diagnostic results (23.2 percent) and their personal health record (22.5 percent) is limited.
Notwithstanding the challenges these issues present, healthcare organizations are positively leaning towards implementing patient engagement efforts, concludes HIMSS Analytics.

With just 50 days until the London Olympics gets underway, sports fans around the world will already be beside themselves with heart-pumping excitement at the prospect of 17 action-packed days of wall-to-wall coverage showing the world's top athletes pushing themselves to the limit in order to secure a place on the podium. For non-sports fans, it may be the time to put down the remote and take up a new hobby.
With more television stations and websites than ever covering events, London 2012 is set to be the most viewed Olympics in the competition's history.
The worldwide audience for the Games, which begins on July 27, has just been given an extra boost with the International Olympic Committee announcing on Wednesday that the competition will be live streamed via YouTube to 64 territories.
The free sports feed will be available across Asia and Africa, in nations where where digital broadcast rights have not yet been sold.
People living in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, Nigeria and Cameroon will be able to watch Olympic coverage on Internet-connected devices on the IOC's YouTube channel at http://youtube.com/olympic.
The channel will consist of 11 different simultaneous high-definition broadcasts with 10 live feeds, running from 9am to 11pm UK time. The eleventh channel will cover Olympic news 24/7 and feature general reports, interviews with athletes and special events.
"We first provided clips on our channel on YouTube during the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games across the region, and since then have continued to provide footage of past Olympic Games across the world on our YouTube channel," Timo Lumme of IOC Television and Marketing said on the IOC's website. "Now we will also be able to offer live coverage during London 2012, complementing the excellent coverage provided by our broadcast partners across the world across all media platforms."
Indeed, TV networks such as NBC are going all out with their Olympic coverage this year — the broadcaster will be live streaming all 32 sports taking place at the Games. "If cameras are on it, we'll stream it," NBC's Rick Cordella said recently. Meanwhile, the BBC will also be providing wall-to-wall coverage of the sporting extravaganza, with some TV broadcasts going out in 3D.

One of these was a recruitment poster for Australian Red Cross. David Henry Souter's 'Help' poster was designed to inspire Australian nurses to join the Red Cross in support of the war effort, and remained in print until 1918.
The poster featured an Australian Red Cross woman in uniform standing with her arms outstretched, as if appealing for help, in front of a red cross. In the background was a medical ship, an ambulance, and a field hospital, each bearing the protective Red Cross emblem.
The Perth Mint will release no more than 5,000 of the Australian Posters of World War I – Red Cross 2015 1oz Silver Proof Rectangle Coin.
The coin's reverse features a coloured representation of David Henry Souter's Australian Red Cross 'Help' poster headed by the inscription AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS. The Perth Mint's traditional 'P' mintmark, and the coin's weight and fineness also appear in the design.
The coin's obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, and the 2015 year-date.
The coin is housed in a stylish latex case that displays the coin's reverse and obverse. It is presented in a themed shipper, and is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

The role of a Chief Information Officer grows more demanding by the day, with an uncertain economy putting a drag on business and customers placing higher expectations of IT departments and services. As the CIO of a small city, I face many of the same challenges as my counterparts in business, and in some ways even more given that municipal governments have strict limits on spending and tax increases.
To meet the 21st century needs of our citizens in a resource-limited environment, the city of Melrose had to get creative. I believe our story may provide governments and businesses alike useful ideas on how to approach IT transformation.
Located seven miles north of Boston and with a population of 28,000, Melrose has a long tradition of self-sufficiency, with excellent schools and cultural facilities. But until recently our IT system was outdated and inefficient. We had two separate data centers, one serving schools and the other the city. Each had different hardware providers, different support agreements, and different tools for different pieces of hardware, even different generations of equipment from the same manufacturers.
Melrose Mayor Robert Dolan believes that the only solution to our budgetary restrictions is for communities in Massachusetts to form regional partnerships. So in 2009 we began working with NetApp on a re-imagination of our IT system, with a cloud-based virtualized data center that could not only meet the needs of Melrose, but those of other nearby towns and cities.
Melrose invested in a FlexPod® data center solution, which gets its muscles from the unified architecture and standardized platform of NetApp® storage and virtualization software from VMware, which has been a catalyst for the development of cloud computing. The system is networked through powerful Cisco® switches and services, including a Nexus® 7000 core switch; a series of FAS2040 appliances; and UCS™ blade servers. Our information is now about 95% virtualized, while all of the city's critical apps, including financial systems, now run in a virtualized environment.
The Melrose IT department is now able to meet a growing number of data, compliance, and operational demands that are increasingly a burden for cities without strong systems, including e-mail archiving, public records requests, saving documents, and retrieving documents. We closed what was a glaring business continuity gap in the event of a natural or manmade disaster. Better yet, the city's annual IT costs are reduced by a third.
We've already proven the concept of regional partnership—the Melrose health department serves two other cities—which has paid incredible operational dividends and made our communities healthier. Now we are offering the cloud to cities that cannot afford a major investment like the FlexPod data center - an architecture that has the capacity to grow without additional costs or hardware which is one of the most important benefits of this solution.
The town of Essex has already migrated its data to the Melrose center, and several others are considering joining the regional IT partnership, the first of its kind in Massachusetts. Essex has seen its IT costs drop by a third. The fees paid to Melrose help defray our IT expenditures. Taken together, the savings have freed enough funds to help renovate the local high school.
In an era of limited municipal resources, this example of creativity and innovation is one that other towns across the nation might be wise to follow. And for businesses that are not in direct competition, shared IT services in the cloud may be a model well worth consideration.

When it comes to going to college, some teens will do anything necessary to get an education. Fred Barley is 19 and lives in Georgia. He was found by police officers near his hometown while sleeping in a tent in front of a college. Officers listened to what the teen had to say about sleeping in a tent outside, and instead of giving him a ticket, they decided to help him.
Barley explained that he rode his brother's bike for six hours in order to make it to the college so that he could register for classes. Barley was getting ready for his second semester in college, and he didn't want to be late when registration started. He was sleeping in a tent and only had a few supplies with him. Barley had two duffel bags with clothes and a few other things that he owned along with 2 gallons of water.
The college doesn't open until August, so Barley made a small home in the tent outside the building. The only thing that he had to eat was a box of cereal. However, that changed when people in the town heard about what he was doing to change his life. Barley has dreams of going to medical school and is currently a biology major. The officers took Barley to a hotel where they paid for him to stay for two nights. A wife of one of the officers started asking for help on Facebook. With the help of Casey Blaney and the hotel owner, Barley has a room to stay in until he can get into his dorm. The college is also allowing him to move in earlier than scheduled. Barley has also found a job as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.

Draft of Supplementary Budget gets State Cabinet nod
Bhuabneswar: The State council of ministers on Saturday approved the draft proposal of the first Supplementary Budget for the 2013-14 financial year. The meeting was held under the chairmanship of chief minister Naveen Patnaik at the State Secretariat here.
Sources said the Supplementary Budget will be presented on the second day of the forthcoming winter session of the state Assembly scheduled to begin on November 28.
This year's Supplementary Budget is 10-15% more than the budget passed in the 2012-13 financial year, official sources added.
"At the end of every year there is a review about the allocation required for each department. There is also discussion about budget for any emergency situation. After the state Assembly's approval only for the Supplementary Budget, the government will be able to spend money from state exchequer," said Finance Minister Prasanna Acharya.
Besides ministers, chief secretary JK Mohapatra and Finance Secretary UN Behera were present in the meeting.
