SAN DIEGO, CA, May 02, 2012 (Press-News.org) This month, CERAWeek provides optimism for the energy industry as executives gather to discus environmental responsibility and transparency as the keys to success.
The 2012 CERAWeek showcased a tremendous sense of optimism within the U.S. and global energy industry, largely due to the potential for vast new oil and natural gas reserves. Industry leaders also exhibited a sincere appreciation for public concern over the technologies used to extract these resources; and specifically noted that concerns related to hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" are legitimate ones that must be addressed responsibly and with transparency.
The various NPC panelists had some compelling statistics at their fingertips. On the supply side, projections for natural gas supply in 2035 show that the U.S. can meet even the highest potential, projected demand for natural gas from consumers and industry.
Environmental Defense Fund member and NPC panelist Mark Brownstein was overwhelmingly supportive of the oil and natural gas industry, commending the incredible technological innovation that has become prevalent throughout the industry. Brownstein credits this innovation for the abundance of oil and gas resources that we presently enjoy in North America noting that the industry is going to the ends of the Earth to explore for oil in the Arctic and various deep water formations; and to, quite literally, our own back yards with some of the development of shale reserves taking place deep below residential areas.
Industry leaders are enthused about the enormous and varied benefits that will accrue to America from responsible development of unconventional oil and gas resources including: renewed energy security, job growth, reduced reliance on foreign imports of fossil fuels and a lower emissions.

Spot a bot to stop a botnet
2012-05-02
Computer scientists in India have developed a two-pronged algorithm that can detect the presence of a botnet on a computer network and block its malicious activities before it causes too much harm. The team describes details of the system in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing.
One of the most significant threats faced by computer networks is from "bots". A bot is simply a program that runs on a computer without the owner's knowledge and carries out any of a number of tasks over the network and the wider internet. It can run ...
Getting the Job Done Despite the Risk, in Supply Chain Digital
2012-05-02
Although supply chain officers are starting to crop up in the boardroom, they've usually been the behind-the-scenes types - you know, the bean-counters making sure everything gets everywhere so everyone can have everything they want. It's not a small job, and it's usually not a very glamorous one either.
And yet, with natural disasters causing major disruptions in the global supply chain and markets rollicking as a result, it's not the charismatic leaders who can get us where we need to be. It's the bean counters.
Good supply chain operations means getting the job ...
Stun guns not safe for citizens, but benefit police, study finds
2012-05-02
EAST LANSING, Mich. — The use of stun guns by police significantly increases the chances of citizen injury, yet also protects the officers more than other restraint methods, according to the most comprehensive research to date into the safety of stun guns in a law enforcement setting.
William Terrill, lead researcher on the project and Michigan State University criminologist, said the federally funded research presents a dilemma for police agencies weighing use of the controversial weapon. Nationally, some 260,000 electronic control devices, or stun guns, are in use in ...

Plastic Surgeon Not Surprised by Whitney Houston's Breast Implants
2012-05-02
Dr. Remus Repta of Advanced Aesthetic Associates says he's not surprised that the Los Angeles County coroner found scars associated with breast implants on Whitney Houston's body, since breast augmentation in Phoenix and across the nation is extremely common.
What Dr. Repta finds interesting is the spin the media put on the results of the coroner's report, which indicated there were small scars associated with breast implants on Houston's breasts.
"Whitney Houston's tragic death was covered by news sources across the nation, but I was shocked to see that evidence ...
Inexpensive, abundant starch fibers could lead to ouchless bandages
2012-05-02
A process that spins starch into fine strands could take the sting out of removing bandages, as well as produce less expensive and more environmentally-friendly toilet paper, napkins and other products, according to Penn State food scientists.
"There are many applications for starch fibers," said Lingyan Kong, graduate student, food science, "Starch is the most abundant and also the least expensive of natural polymers."
Kong, who worked with Greg Ziegler, professor of food science, used a solvent to dissolve the starch into a fluid that can then be spun into long strands, ...
Carnegie Mellon researchers create dynamic view of city based on Foursquare check-in data
2012-05-02
PITTSBURGH—The millions of "check-ins" generated by foursquare, the location-based social networking site, can be used to create a dynamic view of a city's workings and character, Carnegie Mellon University researchers say. In contrast to static neighborhood boundaries and dated census figures, these "Livehoods" reflect the ever-changing patterns of city life.
Researchers from the School of Computer Science (SCS) have developed an algorithm that takes the check-ins generated when foursquare members visit participating businesses or venues, and clusters them based on a ...
Medicare penalty appears to drive hospital infection prevention efforts
2012-05-02
Washington, April 30, 2012 -- The 2008 decision by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to cease additional reimbursement to hospitals for certain healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) has led to enhanced focus on infection prevention and changes in practice by front-line staff, according to a national survey of infection preventionists published in the May issue of the American Journal of Infection Control, the official publication of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
A team of researchers and public health ...

2012-05-02
Dr. Michael Menachof of The Center for Aesthetic Facial Surgery says the relatively high Worth It Rating for nose surgery on RealSelf.com, a popular online cosmetic surgery forum, does not surprise him considering the high level of satisfaction his Denver rhinoplasty patients experience.
"Rhinoplasty is an extremely effective procedure that is tailored to the personal needs of each patient," Dr. Menachof says. "The almost 80% Worth It Rating on RealSelf reflects how successful this procedure is for creating the desirable results."

Geneticist develops tool to identify genes important in disease, tailoring individual treatment
2012-05-02
AMHERST, Mass. – Though the human genome has been sequenced, scientists are still trying to figure out how the accomplishment can help people, for example, how it can be used to treat disease. As University of Massachusetts Amherst geneticist Jacob Mayfield notes, "It was easy to think of the human genome as the big prize, but what we realize now is, it's just a foot in the door."
"What we're beginning to understand is that the information we're interested in knowing lies in comparisons between genomes," he adds. As society moves to personalized, genome-based medicine, ...
