The Colorado Avalanche followed up two very well played games against the Dallas Stars and Chicago Blackhawks with a dud against the Nashville Predators. Optimists will say the game wasn't decided until the 3rd period, but were any of us really happy with how the game was going through the first two periods? We sure were not. This has been the season for the Avs. The good, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully, another matchup with the Blackhawks on Monday will get the team a relatively easy two points. One thing going around social media was more Cale Makar talk, and if something is wrong enough for the Avs to give him rest to be fully healthy for the playoffs. We discuss. Finally, Adrian Dater reported that former Avalanche Alex Kerfoot is on their radar to bring back. Do we like that idea? Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!

Dr. Karlene Kerfoot, Chief Nursing Officer at symplr, points out the challenges nurses and doctors face when dealing with technology in the workplace.  The disparate systems and lack of data integration make it difficult for clinicians to perform necessary duties and have moments that matter: time to provide the kind of care patients require. Karlene highlights the potential for AI and robots to alleviate some of the inefficiencies in the workflow and the need for frontline staff to be part of the decision-making process to ensure advanced technology solutions meet real needs.   Karlene explains, "We do have to deal with the technology to make it easier for people to work. For example, the nurse manager, when they want a staff and schedule, sometimes they have to go through six to eight disparate systems that don't talk to each other. So they have to go into one system and then out, and another system and out, and another system and out. So, at the end of the day, they're quite fatigued and have a lot of technology burden. They don't have time to do what they're supposed to do, which is look at the quality of work with patients and help new nurses."   "We have to run those systems by the people who use them because often, when you say to physicians, "Here's a great system." They say, "Well, that's not the way I think. That doesn't work for me." Or if you say to a nurse, "Here's a great system for you." They say, "Well, it doesn't work because we have to do all these workarounds because it doesn't really include everything we want." "We had a little funeral for all the fax machines and put a big black curtain over them so people couldn't use them, and we said, "It's dead." And so that, in a funny way, sort of forced people to see if they could use the computer and not use paper and not use fax machines."  #symplr #MomentsThatMatter #Burnout #HealthcareTech #PatientCare #Nurses #HealthTech symplr.com Download the transcript here

"The risk of climate change is substantial, and it puts people's lives at risk. We need to stop talking about it, and we need to take real positive action."Those are the words of energy scientist and renewable energy advocate Jack Kerfoot on the Lean to the Left podcast as he wrapped up a five-part series of episodes analyzing regional progress as states establish and implement policies in varying degrees to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming.In this episode, Kerfoot examines actions in five western states, Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to determine which states are making real progress at addressing climate change and which ones are indeed paper tigers."The type and power potential of renewable energy resources (wind, solar, hydropower, etc.)vary significantly across our nation," Kerfoot explains, noting that states in the West have a diverse range of climates, ranging from semiarid in Arizona to temperate in Washington. As a result, the dominant type of renewable energy resources in western states range solar to hydropower."Environmental philosophies and policies also vary from state to state," the renewable energy guru says. "Identifying which states are making real and timely progress at reducing greenhouse gas emissions is best done by comparing states in the same region of the country, which have similar renewable resource potential."His conclusion in this episode is that of those five states, only Washington and Idaho are making real progress in fighting climate change, while he says California, Oregon and Arizona are paper tigers -- talk, but little real action.Climate Change Puts People's Lives at Risk"The clock," warns Kerfoot, "is ticking," and the wildfires in the western states are evidence of that."The intensity of the forest fires in California have increased, particularly over the last 20 years," says Kerfoot. "And they've marched steadily north, and they've gotten into Oregon, and they've also gotten into other parts of the U. S. as well. So climate change, the risk of climate change is substantial, and it puts people's lives at risk."Editor's note: This is the conclusion of a five-part series, "Climate Change: Progress or Paper Tigers," in which energy scientist Jack L. Kerfoot analyzes regional progress as states take varying degrees of action to increase the use of renewable energy resources and reduce reliance on coal and natural gas, both fossil fuels.Here are links to each of those episodes:Southeast -- North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, West Virginia, Kentucky.Southwest -- Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota.Midwest -- Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, Iowa, IllinoisNortheast -- Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode IslandYou can learn more about Jack Kerfoot and his work here.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

What are individual states doing to reduce reliance on fossil fuels by turning to renewable resources like the wind and the sun? As we see in this episode with energy scientist Jack Kerfoot, that North Carolina and Virginia are making remarkable progress, while Florida and West Virginia continue to pretend that climate change is a hoax, while Kentucky is making some progress but has a long, long way to go.The type and power potential of renewable energy resources (wind, solar, hydropower, etc.) vary significantly across our nation. States in the Great Plains have very strong and consistent winds, while states in the Southwest have an abundance of sunny days. Environmental philosophies and policies also vary from state to state, and these episodes explore where progress is being made and where much more action is needed. Often, the political leadership in individual states determine the extent to which climate change is being taken seriously and effective policies being implemented -- or not.This is the fourth of five podcasts that explore these questions in various regions of the country. Episode one, focusing on four Northeastern states, and the second episode, analyzing five Midwestern states, and the third show, examining five Southwestern states, are now streaming, and the fifth episode, focusing on several western states, will stream soon."The clock is ticking," warns Kerfoot, a scientist, energy expert and author of the book Fueling America an Insider's Journey. Kerfoot began his career in the energy industry in 1976 when America was paralyzed by an oil embargo and is now a strong advocate for renewable energy as the solution for combating climate change. He's the principal of JL Kerfoot Energy Services and blogs on his website, Our Energy Conundrum at JackKerfoot.com. One conclusion that has become clear in all of these episodes, including this one, is that efforts to preserve coal mining for the production of energy in order to save jobs are misguided. In fact, over and over again it is shown that renewable energy -- principally solar and wind -- provide far more jobs than does coal.So, says Kerfoot, the idea that coal must be preserved to protect jobs is simply "fake news."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Warning that the environmental consequences of climate change are already upon us, energy scientist Jack Kerfoot and Maya van Rossum, originator of the Green Amendment, are calling upon voters to elect state and federal legislators who recognize that challenge and are determined to take concrete action. Speaking on the Lean to the Left podcast with host journalist Bob Gatty, Kerfoot and van Rossum agreed that replacing reliance on fossil fuels, like coal and natural gas, with solar and wind energy sources is the key to reducing the environmental dangers that already are affecting many regions of the world.“The sword of Damocles over all of us is the environment, and if we don't take action collectively together, then we will severely face devastation of biblical proportion,” warns Kerfoot, who noted that in June temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, commonly in the 60s and 70s, reached 120F.“People, are experiencing the climate crisis and the science really is bearing out whether you're talking about heat waves, floods, drought, wildfires,” says van Rossum. “All of these different manifestations of the climate crisis can be tracked back to greenhouse gas emissions, and the transformation of what is happening within the Earth's atmosphere as the result of methane emissions carbon dioxide and more.”During the interview, van Rossum and Kerfoot discuss actions that are taking place in specific states in the U.S. aimed at increasing the use of renewable sources for the generation of electricity, and stress additional actions that are needed.Jack Kerfoot is a scientist, energy expert, and author of the book FUELING AMERICA, An Insider's Journey, and articles for The Hill, one of the largest independent political news sites in the United States. Kerfoot began his career in the energy industry in 1976, when America was paralyzed by an oil embargo. He spent over 45 years traveling the world, working with scientists, bureaucrats, ministers, tycoons, sheiks, and heads of state on a diverse range of energy issues. He is the principal of JL Kerfoot Energy Services and blogs on his website, Our Energy Conundrum, at www.jackkerfoot.com. Lean to the Left is now in the midst of presenting analysis by Jack Kerfoot of how various regions around the country are doing in terms of moving away from reliance on fossil fuels for energy production.

Renewable energy sources, including solar and wind, far outpace coal when it comes to generating jobs even in states where fossil fuels are the primary source of energy, according to scientist and energy expert Jack Kerfoot.In this episode of the Lean to the Left podcast, Kerfoot says politicians bought and paid for by the fossil fuel industry continue to claim they support coal, primarily, because they want to protect jobs and not put industry employees out of work. However, he says the facts prove that's a false claim. Indeed, renewable jobs outpace coal -- dramatically.For example, in Indiana, which had 13 operating coal mines in 2021, there were only 1,808 employees compared to the10,500 people employed by wind farms, solar, and hydro electric energy operations."So the reality is that closing coal in the state of Indiana does not put jobs at risk," Kerfoot says on the podcast. "In fact, the more they can do to accelerate the development of renewable energy, they can increase job activity and improve the economy."In March 2023, fossil fuels generated 82 percent of Indiana's electricity, according to Kerfoot, while only 18 percent was from renewables.Meanwhile, in Missouri, where 50 percent of the state's electricity was from coal, down from 80 percent in 2010, there were only eight coal miners, while renewable energy operations provided 4,500 jobs. "(If) they put up another wind farm or another solar park, those eight coal miners are going to be knocking on the door saying 'We'd like to go over there,'" says Kerfoot.In Ohio, where 26 percent of the state's energy comes from coal, down from 83 percent in 2010, there are nine operating coal mines with 354 workers in 2021 -- compared to over 9,000 in the renewable energy industry, according to the longtime energy scientist and renewable energy advocate."So, when you see legislators talking about 'I'm supporting the coal industry for the jobs,' usually what that means is that there are lobbyists on the side providing the candidates substantial funding to support their industry because (they) don't want to one pushed to cut coal and go out of business," says Kerfoot.He challenges voters in states where fossil fuel sources are being protected to support candidates who are knowledgeable about renewable energy and recognize that this brings jobs and cheaper electricity, while improving the environment and helping to combat climate change.Meanwhile, Kerfoot credits Iowa and Illinois for making substantial progress by embracing renewables. Today, 68 percent of Iowa's electricity is powered by wind and solar at some of the cheapest electricity costs in the US. Only 14 percent of Illinois' electricity comes from coal, down from 50 percent in 2010. In 2021, there were 2017 coal jobs, compared to 15,000 people who worked on wind turbines and solar parks."When a coal mine is mined out, they close it. As long as the wind blows and the sun shines, they don't close the wind turbines," he says.This is the second in a series of episodes examining various regions around the country. The first episode addressed four Northeastern states and is now streaming. The next episode will focus on the Southwest and stream on August 28.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

Adnan Virk starts the show with a miserable travel experience with planes, trains, and automobiles. Then, over to the Jays, more great pitching from Gausman and poor run support from the offense. Finally, Adnan can't speak without laughing when describing John Schneider trying to be “positive” about Alek Manoah's performance. Next up, Gord Stellick reacts to the Leafs signing Kampf, considering Kerfoot and then the link to Erik Karlsson. Later on Carlos Pena “Plakata” from MLB Network and someone from the Dominican Republic who can give good insights into Vlad Guerrero. He breaks down what he's seeing with Vladdy, how pitchers are approaching him, and then shows some love for Shohei Ohtani. Finally, we close with Rowan Barrett, GM of Team Canada's National Men's team. Nick Nurse leaves Team Canada, Jordi Fernandez takes over, and a move that was anticipated as soon as Nurse joined the 76ers.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have reportedly made some early decisions on pending unrestricted free agents. David Morassutti gives his thoughts on Michael Bunting, Alexander Kerfoot and Justin Holl not expected to return next season and why that shouldn't be seen as a surprising decision and one some fans are happy about. Dave moves on to the buyout window opening and if Matt Murray is a prime candidate to be bought out or if there is a scenario/team that would work out better for Toronto to try and get rid of his contract. To end the show, Dave looks at the pending restricted free agents and why Ilya Samsonov's situation is an interesting case with a new management team involved.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Athletic GreensTo make it easy, Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.

It is a remarkable story, and despite obvious political ramifications for lawmakers representing coal states, the U.S. has cut the use of coal for electricity generation from 50% in 2005 to 19.8% in 2021, and it's still falling.In fact, according to our podcast guest, scientist and energy expert Jack Kerfoot, renewables like solar and wind power are expected to overtake coal as the world's top energy source by 2025, just two years from now.In this extremely informative episode, Kerfoot walks us through those developments and explains what they mean for the future, including impact on the world's environment as we deal with climate change.Kerfoot begins the episode with an explanation of the various types of coal, how they are used, and their cost. He says that as we move away from coal to renewables, energy prices will dramatically decrease even as we reduce the greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.Here are the costs associated with various types of energy generation, according to Kerfoot: 1) Onshore Wind – 2.6¢ to 5.0¢ per kWh 2) Onshore Solar PV – 2.8¢ to 4.1¢ per kWh 3) Natural Gas ($3.45 MMBTU) – 4.5¢ to 7.4¢ per kWh 4) Geothermal – 5.6¢ to 9.3¢ per kWh 5) Coal – 6.5¢ to 15.2¢ per kWh 6) Natural Gas Peaker Plants – 15.1¢ to 19.6¢ per kWh 7) Nuclear – 13.1¢ to 20.4¢ per kWh."Clearly, onshore wind and solar are significantly cheaper sources of electricity on a levelized cost basis than coal-fueled power plants. I anticipate that new technologies will allow the cost of electricity from wind and solar to continue to decrease over the next decade," Kerfoot says. Here's the breakdown of energy sources in the U.S.in 2021 compared to 2005: In 2005, utilities used Coal (49.6%), Nuclear (19.3%), Petroleum Gas (19.1%), Hydropower (6.7%), Oil (3.0%), and Renewable Energy (2.3%) (geothermal, solar, wind, and biomass) to generate electricity in America. In 2021, utilities used Petroleum Gas (38.8%), Coal (21.9%), Nuclear (18.9 %), Renewables (13.7%), Hydropower (6.2%), and Oil (0.5%).In 2021, all forms of renewable energy (hydropower, wind, solar, etc.) generated 19.9% of the nation's electricity.What caused this big shift to renewables?In 2005, there was growing concern across our nation over the impact of global warming, which results in climate change, Kerfoot says, adding that there was also concern over our nation's energy security. Moreover, the price of crude oil (WTI) was over US $56/Barrel and was forecast to go over $100/Barrel by 2008, which is what happened, he explains.Because of these developments, Congress passed the bipartisan “Energy Policy Act of 2005,” providing tax incentives to encourage domestic energy production including renewable energy like wind and solar, nuclear power, “clean coal”, and oil/gas technology."The legislation did Not have any significant impact on rejuvenating nuclear power development or the coal industry. The legislation Did have significant impact on the development of wind and solar technology and hydraulic fracturing (fracking) technology in the oil/gas industry," Kerfoot says."The tax incentives encouraged entrepreneurs, like the late T. Boone Pickens to develop wind farms in Texas. In 2006, a wind farm boom commenced in many of the Great Plains states, which have strong consistent winds, an abundance of entrepreneurs, innovative power companies, and low population densities," he explains."Current data indicates that renewable energy (including hydropower) will greater than 50% of the nation's electricity before 2050. The times they are a changing."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

EP218 looks back on the unlikely game 4 comeback.

The guys kick off Headlines with the NHL's $2.12 BILLION franchise, the Toronto Maple Leafs. A woeful western swing, the fan/media storm heading for Sheldon Keefe, and Ray discusses the Leafs falling ‘short' of a Stanley Cup contending roster. Plus, Ray thinks the Anaheim Ducks were robbed of a goal last night, he talks the goalie interference ‘rule', and what changes he would make.  Tage Thompson went on a 6-point bender vs. the Detroit Red Wings! The guys talk where the Buffalo Sabres think his ceiling is, Tage silencing ‘overpay' chatter with his hot-start, and Ray gives the power forward a comparison to one of the greatest to ever play the game!  Kris Abbott breaks news on a BIG announcement as we are proud to join forces with Kris and Betano Canada in an exciting new partnership! Kris discouraged Ray from taking all his new employer's money as Ray ‘5-0' Ferraro chalks up ANOTHER win! A huge night for the Niners meant hitting the ‘over' wasn't in question for long, and Ray makes sure there's time to gloat. Kris discussed being right on the probability of a Canucks win, and the short-term strategy of avoiding the struggling Maple Leafs. Ask R+D sees questions on Kerfoot's missed ‘gimme', LA Kings' patience being rewarded with former 1st round pick Gabe Vilardi, and a question on the ‘Yzer-plan' in Detroit has Ray making a prediction that playoffs are closer than some might think for the Red Wings.  A man and his big plate-full of meatballs had Ray playing detective as ‘What's Bugging Ray' makes a comeback to close out another R+D!

Cheryl Pounder, TSN Hockey Analyst & 2 x Olympic Gold Medalist, joins Julia and Al's Brother to talk about Rielly getting reps on the right side, the internal competition between Sandin and Liljegren, which of the Marlies players have stood out the most in camp and if Kerfoot and Jarnkrok did the defenceman community a ‘dirty' the other night by making it look easy to play the backend.

The Toronto Maple Leafs added another player to the roster in free agency while getting one of their restricted free agents signed. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti break down the moves and what this means for the roster going forward. They begin by discussing the Calle Jarnkrok signing and why he seemed to be a preferred target for the Leafs (3:00). They move on to the Pierre Engvall signing and why he remains a highly debated player by the fanbase (11:15). They discuss the impact arbitration likely had on the contract Engvall signed (14:10). How do these moves affect the team's salary cap situation and how does the team figure it out (21:30)? Who could fill Kerfoot's spot on the left wing? Mike and Dave discuss why Matthew Knies would have been the ideal replacement if he was ready to make the NHL (28:30). They also look at what this is the time for Nick Robertson to cement a role with the Leafs, especially with the second line needing a change (30:25). How close could Knies be to making the NHL? Mike and Dave look at why the playoffs would be the ideal time as he looks to gain more experience (36:25).  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
