hyperbaric chamber

On Wednesday, Environmental Tectonics Corp. declared that it has named Steve Wood president of its Biomedical Division, which manufactures and sells the BaraMed line of clinical hyperbaric chambers. The Southampton, Pa., company said Wood has been involved with hyperbaric medicine for more than 25 years.

He began his career as a respiratory therapist in 1972 and has been involved with hyperbaric medicine for a quarter of a century as a clinician and with the development of hyperbaric medicine facilities and the manufacturing of hyperbaric chambers. Hyperbaric medicine involves treating a person with 100 percent oxygen at a pressure greater than the normal pressure of the atmosphere by putting the person inside a hyperbaric chamber. Among other things, it’s used to treat decompression illness and carbon monoxide intoxication.

So good news for expert in the Hyperbaric field, Steve Wood and here's hoping there's more great developments in this field of medicine.

ohio unemployment

Ohio's unemployment figures were chalked up at the end of the year as a 9th year in a row where the rates of people being employed has fallen, and a fall in payroll numbers was put in the shade by a bigger drop in people searching for employment. The state Department of Job and Family Services on Friday declared that Ohio’s jobless rate hit a seasonally adjusted 9.6 percent in December.

That’s down from 9.8 percent in November and more than a percentage point below the 10.8 percent jobless rate seen a year ago. Over the month, nonfarm payroll dropped by more than 9,000 jobs to hit 5 million workers. That’s largely on a 7,300-job decline in Ohio’s goods-producing sector, which saw declines in construction and manufacturing. The much-larger service sector only lost 1,300 jobs over the month.

So lean times in the Ohio area continue to worsen and the state will be hoping there are areas which can help tackle the bleak state.

keith olbermann fired

MSNBC cable news personality Keith Olbermann was ousted from his position on the network yesterday and gives up his position of one of the most well known news personalities on either side of the political spectrum. Olbermann was reportedly in the midst of a 4 year $30 million deal which was to see him last until 2012.

However he announced on last night's edition of Countdown that it was his last. The dismissal is said to be at least indirectly related to Comcast's acquiring of NBC and the parent company's distaste for his defiance and attitude. Sources said network brass basically paid the pundit to scram by working out an agreement in which he would get lost and continue to be paid. He will have to stay off the air at least until fall as a result.

So a boot out of the blue for the well known reporter and what he endeavours to do next with his talents is to be seen.
