            <description>Ever since HIMSS (still seems like yesterday, but was really a month and a half ago), I&amp;#8217;ve been wanting to do a writeup about the company Shareable Ink. A number of people asked me at the show what the most innovative thing I&amp;#8217;d seen at HIMSS was and my most common answer was Shareable Ink.
The interesting thing about Shareable Ink is that they provide such an interesting middle ground between a technical solution and continuation of paper. I remember about 5 years ago when I heard someone describe the perfect clinical documentation system. It was completely flexible. Required little to no training. Supported every possible documentation style. etc etc etc. Then, they acknowledged that what was being described was the paper chart. It was then that I recognized that while EMR can...</description>

Yet another reason to pat yourself on the back for buying a fuel-efficient car: It&amp;#8217;s less likely to get stolen. A new report from the Highway Loss Data Institute shows that crooks are way more likely to jack a flashy, gas-guzzling SUV — like an Escalade — than they are to steal a sensible, sedate hybrid, like a Prius.
This just shows that car thieves are dumber than we thought. If you&amp;#8217;re so broke that you need to steal some wheels, you really should choose the make and model that will get you the best mileage.

            <title>Solving the Wrong Problems</title>

            <description>Conclusion
My point was to show that we often try to solve the wrong problems and put a tremendous amount of effort in to fixing the wrong things. If your car doesn&amp;#8217;t drive well because the wheels need aligned, you can change the oil all you want with out fixing the real issue. When you are trying to solve problems, make sure you don&amp;#8217;t jump so quickly to the solution stage, that you skip the part where you identify the actual problem that needs solved.

            <description>You say you’re an environmentalist. You use cloth bags when grocery shopping; your house is fitted with CFL light bulbs; and you drive a hybrid. (Hopefully not a Prius, though.)
But if you really want to get your hands dirty for the sake of saving the planet, here are 10 ways you can use Earth Week as an excuse to get active in your community.
If none of these opportunities are near where you live, check out Serve.org or Volunteermatch.org to find a worthy cause nearby.

            <title>Video Interview of Evan Steele, CEO of SRSsoft EMR</title>

            <description>I must admit that one person that I was very excited to meet at HIMSS was Evan Steele, the CEO of SRSsoft. Evan and I had interacted a number of times online. Plus, I love an EMR vendor CEO that has a blog. Not just any blog, but one that broadens the discussion about EMR software and provides an alternate view to EMR adoption.
Turns out that many people at HIMSS don&amp;#8217;t like the hybrid EMR style of software that Evan Steele and SRSsoft are trying to create. There is certainly an argument to be made against it, but personally I like to see people approaching the challenge of clinical documentation in different ways. I also love how SRSsoft focuses so much effort and energy on the physician. If more EMR vendors had this focused, we&amp;#8217;d have much better EMR software.
Now this kind of...</description>

            <description>By Tad DeHavenA couple of weeks ago I wrote about a story in Wired regarding the Department of Energy’s Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program. The gist was that government subsidies to particular manufacturers are putting non-recipients at a competitive disadvantage in obtaining private capital. The author, a former Tesla Motors official, noted that “this massive government intervention in private capital markets may have the unintended consequence of stifling innovation by reducing the flow of private capital into ventures that are not anointed by the DOE.”
An article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal builds on this theme by detailing the political shenanigans surrounding the DOE’s awarding of a loan to Finnish high-end automaker, Fisker Automotive:

            <description>I&amp;#8217;ve been finding what SRSsoft and in particular their CEO, Evan Steele has been saying about the ARRA EHR stimulus money on the SRSsoft blog called EMR Straight Talk really interesting. They&amp;#8217;re an EMR company that I think has taken a different approach to marketing their EMR software. So, I thought it would be interesting to interview Evan on a number of relevant topics related to his EMR and the ARRA stimulus money.
Let me know if you like the following interview and I&amp;#8217;ll think about doing more of them.

            <description>Japanese scientists, always at the forefront of robotic innovation, created a robot suit that they say improves mobility and also allow the wearer to carry more.
The hybrid assistance limb, otherwise known as HAL, was developed with the goal of helping the injured and the weak get around.
Made by Japanese robotics company Cyberdyne, the exoskeleton is a 10 kilogram (22 pound) machine that belts at the waist and has a battery and computer system at the back.
HAL’s bio-electrical sensors, which are attached to the body, are able to capture electromyogram signals on the person’s skin control the way someone walks.
As a result, a HAL suited individual will be able to walk up to speeds of 1.8 kilometres an hour.
Interested?
Well, you can rent your own suit from Cyberdyne for  220,000 yen...</description>

            <description>Okay, I know I said I was on vacation, but I just had to blog about a couple of things. The first is that members of Congress have introduced the Human-Animal Hybrid Prohibition Act of 2009 which would ban the production of certain animal-human hybrids in research.  This announcement has made some bloggers go all apoplectic.  Like Pharnygula who asks &amp;quot;Why do they hate the Manimal.&amp;quot; He thinks that this bill will injure scientific progress.  He gives the following examples:One more example: scientists have made transgenic pigs carrying five human genes. The idea is to create animals that can be a source for xenografts  transplanted organs  in humans with a reduced level of rejection. These pigs would become illegal under the Brownback bill, because they mingle a blessedly hu...</description>

            <title>Cost vs. Benefit for Productivity</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2517468&amp;cid=t_177422_180_f&amp;fid=38610&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.productivity501.com%2Fcost-vs-benefit-for-productivity%2F166%2F</link>
            <description>Most people are really bad at comparing cost and benefits. Hybrid cars are a good example of this. For example, the cost of the cheapest (that I could find) new gasoline Honda Civic is around $14,800. The cost of the cheapest hybrid Civic is $22,000. Assuming that you drive 13,000 miles per year, the hybrid will save you $369 per year in gas&amp;#8211;assuming gasoline costs an average of $2.80 per gallon.

So you are paying an extra $7200 to save $369 per year. It will take nearly 20 years before you end up saving money with the car. Even if you consider that the government will give you something like an extra $2,100 off your taxes for buying the hybrid, it will still take nearly 14 years before you break even. Also consider that if you do manage to drive the car for a very long time, in 10 ...</description>

            <description>Huh?? That&amp;#8217;s probably what you thought when you clicked on this blog post. Depression&amp;#8230;.. The X Files&amp;#8230;.. Right. I&amp;#8217;ll admit, I&amp;#8217;m a scifi fan, and the X Files is one of my all-time favorite shows. I&amp;#8217;m old enough to have enjoyed it the first time around in the &amp;#8217;90s, and now I&amp;#8217;m watching the entire series again on DVD. Yes, I&amp;#8217;m a big nerd, but I digress.
A couple of nights ago, I watched one of the many alien conspiracy episodes involving Agents Scully and Mulder, Assistant Director Skinner, Alex Krycek, and a host of other folks mixed up in a thick plot. This is somewhere in the last of nine seasons, so alien conspiracy and high drama are not new to the regular viewer by this time.

            <description>Midweek Mental Greening
Last week, I told you about a Boston Globe article that discussed the negative mental health effects global warming is having on some people, and promised you some tips on how to deal with those kinds of effects – whether the issue is global warming, poverty, animal rights or any other matter that has you upset.
Check them out below.
Take action and get involved. 
As I mentioned last week, sitting around and twiddling my thumbs has never been my thing. One of the best ways you can ensure something is being done is to do something. Whether it’s as easy as making sure your signature is on the petitions for causes you believe in or as involved as organizing a local chapter of your favorite nonprofit. You&amp;#8217;ll feel better about yourself and the problem or issue ...</description>

            <description>I just cannot let this one go.  Just because I truly believe that the enormity of what is going on in labs around the world is not sinking in.  I do not want to underplay the importance of the fight against the Freedom of Choice Act. On that we should never back down.  But we also should not ignore other pressing life issues.Wake up people! We are cloning human embryos to see if they can develop normally right along with cloned human embryos made with animal eggs and then these results are being published in reputable journals.  Moreover, the media makes it sound like this is all so normal and mention little, if anything, about the ethics of such research.Read this headline and study the picture and tell me that the world has not gone totally mad:It Is Easier to Clone a Human Than to B...</description>

            <title>Don't Worry: Refusing to Fund Human/Animal Hybrid Cloning Not About Morals</title>

            <description>With The Independent on a tear because moral concerns might have been behind the failure of scientists to garner public funding to conduct human cloning with animal eggs, we get this badly needed assurance. From the story: Reports in the British media that grant applications to create hybrid human--animal embryos for research were turned down on moral grounds, have been rejected by the funding bodies and scientists involved.The story broke in the Independent newspaper on Monday, which claimed Stephen Minger, a leading stem cell scientist at King's College London, said that the grant applications may have been blocked by scientists on the funding committees who are morally opposed to the creation of cloned hybrid embryos. But when Nature spoke to Minger he said the Independent misinterprete...</description>

            <title>Whining Scientists Always Get Their Way in Brave New Britain</title>

            <description>I posted yesterday about how &quot;the scientists&quot; in the UK are whining because their human/cow embryo cloning scheme has not been funded by the government. I said that once their whining hit the papers, things would change quickly, because in the UK--what the scientists want, the scientists get. That process of, ironically, imposing politics onto science funding is now well under way. From the story:The two research councils that have turned down requests to fund stem-cell studies using human-animal &quot;hybrid&quot; embryos are to be questioned by MPs on both sides of the House of Commons to explain why they have refused to issue the grants.As revealed by The Independent yesterday, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have declined ...</description>

            <title>Dawkins Yearning for Human/Chimp Hybrid Again</title>

            <description>I am not sure why some materialists are so fervently anti human exceptionalism. I suspect they believe that by humbling us into believing our lives are no more important than that of animals, it would undermine Judeo/Christiam moral philosophy in general and theism in particular. Some too, I think, wish to have us sacrifice ourselves to &quot;save the planet,&quot; in pursuit of the neo- nature worship that seems to be growing.This desire leads some materialists to yearn for scientists to find (or create) a human/chimpanzee hybrid that could interbreed with both species, and thereby &quot;break the species&quot; barrier. James Hughes yearned for such a hybrid to be manufactured through genetic engineering in Citizen Cyborg, because he wrote, it would prove humans are not special and undermine what he calls &quot;h...</description>

            <description>Do you think electric cars are less polluting then regular cars. Think again.

The electric car has not come of age, because more than half of the electricity in this country (USA) is currently generated with coal - the dirtiest of fossil fuels.
- Comment in Time Magazine (Oct 13, 2008 issue)


Ten years later - we may be asking the same question. Again.

            <title>A lot can happen after a few drinks: Saccharomyces hybridization</title>

            <description>We may have to reevaluate whether Saccharomyces cerevisiae alone is the species used to brew beer.  A paper from Gonzalez et al describes results from PCR-RFLP comparison of 24 brewing strains identifies evidence for S. cerevisiae x S. kudriavzevii hybrids.  Although this hybridization is not unprecedented, most seem to be related to cultivated brewing or fermentation strains.  It seems that the hybrids are better able to cope with the stress associated with fermentation process.

It seems these would also be a great test system for more whole genome sequencing or at least more polymorphism comparisons to try and determine the proportion of the genome that comes from different parents and estimate timing and frequency of hybridization.  It seems possible that the hybridizations are o...</description>

            <description>Are you a hybrid team player? Let me explain&amp;hellip;.The other day I golfed with Robyn McMaster, senior VP here at the MITA Center and Rob Jacobi &amp;ndash; the guy who keeps our computers running. Just as we hit rough terrain on the challenging course, Rob pulled out a new hybrid &amp;ndash; and slammed a ball effortlessly to the green. I saw amazing capability in this crossbreed club between my woods and my irons. The next day I pulled into Dicks&amp;rsquo; Sporting Goods &amp;hellip; before they opened and waited for my chance to own a Callaway hybrid #3 golf club. No question ... it&amp;rsquo;s already one of the finest tools in my golf bag.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Game after game ... it digs my wayward ball out of the rough ... and steers it back toward the fairway for a&amp;nbsp;better shot&amp;nbsp;to the green.

            <description>I am back.  I apologize to my readers for such a long absence.  The Taylor clan is considering a big move to another state to be near family and the weighing the pros and cons has been time consuming.  Thank-you to Monica for bringing me back. Well, IVF has made a lot of children since Louise Brown in the 1970s.  Figuratively, IVF has also had some of her own children.  Embryo-destructive research and human cloning are two.  We are now becoming aquainted with another, the chimera.  What is a chimera?  It is an organism that is a mix of two species.  A chimeric embryo would be one that let us say part mouse and part human or part monkey and part human.Now, it is important here to distingush between a chimeric embryo and a chimeric adult.  Placing animal DNA into a human embryo is ...</description>

            <description>tags: zorse, zebroid, zebra-horse hybrid, Eclyse





This equid with distinctive markings is a zorse -- the hybrid offspring of a female zebra and a male horse.

Eclyse (Ek LEE za) is the latest addition to the German safari park, Schloss Holte Stukenbrock. Eclyse is also special as zorses, or zebroids as they are also known, are typically the product of a horse mare that has bred with a zebra stallion. Her mother, on the other hand, was a zebra.

The creature pictured above is a one-year-old zorse -- a hybrid between a female Chapmann's zebra and a male horse, and what you see in that image are her natural markings. Instead of being striped all over, as most zebra-horse hybrids are, this animal is primarily white with bold striped patches, one on her head and t...</description>

A report by the Commons science committee calls on ministers to scrap the proposed ban and accuses the government of basing its opposition to the research on a &amp;quot;deeply flawed&amp;quot; consultation.
