...Pittsburgh contends that the medical industry needs to rethink how it uses energy and, more important, figure out how it can get by on less - something that will become an inevitability when oil prices start creeping up again.

"The old method of 'just in time' delivery for supplies [and trauma patients] made sense with energy sufficiency," says Bednarz. "It makes no sense when you have energy scarcity or very high prices."

What mattered nearly as much was what happened...

In the history of handovers, things usually go a little more smoothly if the outgoing President is leaving by choice or constitutional mandate rather than if he has just been crushed on the field of electoral battle. While Obama ran against Bush's record, he never played to the personal loathing that animates many on the left; and Bush, by remaining at an undisclosed location throughout Campaign 2008, seldom had a bad word to say about Obama...
