Hot Poetry
Scientists, poets and thermal imaging technology got together over Valentine's weekend to investigate whether love poems can ignite "instant fires" in your blushing cheeks.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.

We are ready to kiss goodbye to this year and meet new year full of brand new designs in fashion industry and hair trends yet we still have time to through a quick glance to hairstyles 2015 and find out which were the hottest designs and which are going to be trendy next season.
The hottest hairstyles 2015 were surely short and medium short haircuts like pixie, short bob and asymmetric bob haircuts that were so often seen on the red carpet.
More elegant styles were classy bob and long bob hairstyles completed with layers and bang. Both elegant and bold designs were popular this season and next season two you will be totally free to choose whatever you want.
Asymmetry is key detail to have modern and stylish look. Just like previous season, this season too asymmetry was very popular and numerous designs were completed with asymmetric layers. I am sure that next season too asymmetry will dominate. You can choose asymmetric bob or half shaved design with longer layers on one side and almost shaved or short crop cut hair on the other.

I think you have alluded to the primary problem here...
Not quite....
Just a slight correction. The accounting stuff was fine for the IPO. Yopu can use any combination of numbers you like as long as you also use the stadnard ones.
It was the email that delayed the IPO. Not allowed to say anything about numbers in the quiet period just before launch. He said something, launch delayed.

They really haven't got this web 2.0 thing yet.

Does he have a bit too much specific knowledge about Wolverine?
I mean, I possibly know more than he does, but I'm not asking for money or trust.
> our skin has been melted off.
But thankfully it looks like he had asbestos underpants.
I don't know about the rest of you
but I will be much happier when they file for bankruptcy and this moron is out of the news. I'm tired of hearing about him, is PoS company and the fact that he's just a hair's width away from behing the next Enron. It's shitheads like him that make me embarassed to admit I'm in IT.
The guy's the new Malmsten.

Chris Clarke
Hospital industry associations in Tennessee and Georgia have set a lofty goal of wiping out all preventable infections in their intensive care units, and some local hospitals already are seeing results from their increased focus on the issue, officials said.
The Tennessee Hospital Association is encouraging hospitals to reach zero preventable infections in hospital ICUs within three years, concentrating on central-line bloodstream infections, MRSA -- a drug-resistant staph infection -- and surgical site infections.
"If it was easy, we wouldn't have to be tackling it," said Chris Clarke, senior vice president for clinical services at the Tennessee Hospital Association. "People do struggle with that. Is that (goal) too big or audacious? But if you don't strive for it, then you might settle for less."
The Georgia Hospital Association also is aiming for zero infections but hasn't set a specific timeframe, said Denise Flook, coordinator for infection prevention and workforce initiative at the association.
Staff Photo by Danielle Moore/Chattanooga Times Free Press Sarah Gregg, a registered nurse at Hutcheson Medical Center in Fort-Oglethorpe, puts on latex gloves and a medical mask before a patient visit Thursday afternoon. The hospital has stepped up to try and cut down on preventable infections among employees and patients at the hospital.
Both hospital associations are part of a national effort to eliminate catheter-related bloodstream infections, an initiative led by Dr. Peter Pronovost, a patient safety expert at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Md.
He received international attention for his development of a checklist protocol that drastically reduced infection rates at hospitals that implemented it. Those practices, which include donning cap, gloves and gown before inserting a central-line IV, are in place at local hospitals, officials said.
The initiative also enlists front-line caregivers, not only infection control officials, in the effort, Ms. Flook said.
"This program teaches it's their role, it's their responsibility and they'll be held accountable for every bloodstream infection that happens on their unit," she said.
For many local hospitals, small but crucial changes have shown quick results.
Erlanger hospital has recorded no central-line infections in ICU for the past four months, said Coretha Weaver, infection control coordinator. A major factor has been a return to using a team of experts who put in IVs using best procedures and holding them accountable for infections, she said.
Hamilton Medical Center in Dalton, Ga., has added a similar dedicated IV team.
Memorial Hospital has not had any central-line infections in the ICU for three months, and the Parkridge East campus has had zero such infections for more than a year, officials said.
A report published by the Tennessee Department of Health last year documented the central-line infection rates among hospitals in the state. Memorial Hospital, Parkridge Medical Center and Erlanger hospital's results all fell within the normal range when compared to national averages.
But some Tennessee hospitals' results were significantly higher than the national average, Ms. Clarke said.
"We're not where we need to be yet," she said.
Nationally, health care providers and payers increasingly are shining the spotlight on hospital-acquired infections. Such infections cost hospitals an estimated $28.4 billion to $33.8 billion every year, according to a March 2009 report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"It's a huge financial burden that not only our hospitals but also patients have to deal with every day," said Jerri Underwood, Parkridge chief nursing executive.
In Tennessee, a single central-line infection costs a hospital on average $21,098, according to the state hospital association.
In 2008 there were 495 central-line infections in adult and pediatric ICUs in Tennessee, according to a report published by the state health department. Georgia hospitals do not have to publicly report this information.
The infection-prevention focus gained traction with the Institute of Medicine's 1999 report stating that as many as 98,000 people a year die from medical errors, said Dr. Mark Anderson, who oversees Memorial's infection prevention program and is infection prevention adviser at Hutcheson Medical Center in Fort Oglethorpe.
Many of those deaths were caused by preventable infections, he said.
"Most of us that do this think all this increased attention (on prevention) for the most part is great," Dr. Anderson said. "It's an area that's often been overlooked by the health care system. It's a constant danger in the health care setting."
Two years ago, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began denying hospitals payment for treatment of conditions that it deems preventable, including bloodstream infections related to improper catheter use.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services wants to make hospitals report their central-line infection rates and some surgical-site infection rates, data which would be released publicly the next year in 2012, Ms. Flook said.
Other methods are being used to prevent different infections. Using a new type of equipment and a new sterilizing agent, Hamilton Medical Center has recorded only one case of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the last 18 months, said Dr. Mark Elam, medical director for infection prevention.
Parkridge is taking part in a national study to compare methods of preventing MRSA. In the study, one group of patients who are MRSA-positive when they enter the ICU will be isolated and treated with "decolonizing agents," such as special nasal swabs and skin wipes.
Other MRSA-positive patients will be isolated but not decolonized, which is the current standard. In another group, all patients -- both those with or without MRSA -- will be decolonized, Ms. Underwood said.
"We used to think (an ICU) patient is so sick, they're going to get an infection anyway," Ms. Weaver said. "But a lot of facilities have shown that, even in the sickest patients, some infections are preventable, and we should really get organized and go after preventing the ones that we can."
Tennessee Center for Patient Safety: tnpatientsafety.com
A central line, or a central venous catheter, is a thin tube placed in a large vein to provide long-term access to the bloodstream in order to administer fluids or draw blood. Central lines can be left in place for weeks or more, and they potentially can cause bloodstream infections.

In 2008 Tennessee hospitals reported actual infections vs. expected number of infections (based on the hospital ICU's particular patient population):
* Erlanger hospital: 22 vs. 20
* Parkridge Medical Center: 8 vs. 8.4
* Memorial Hospital: 11 vs. 19

I'm hoping you will be open to taking a look at a new reusable U.S. patented patient gown. I have no doubt the gown will sell itself. I know you are very busy, I am asking for 5 minutes of your time.
The gown's designer, Chantale Trouillot, is a Critical Care nurse with over 27 years nursing experience in South Florida, who saw the need for a gown designed to meet the challenges of modern medicine. The special feature of the ECT patient gown enhances nursing efficiencies, promotes positive patient outcomes, increases patient satisfaction and helps reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections (HAIs.)
In September of 2009, in his keynote address at a Supplier Symposium in Richmond, VA, the former U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, noted the ECT gown as the type of innovative product healthcare suppliers need to bring to the market; products that provide clinical value while reducing the overall costs of healthcare.
ECT Solutions has partnered with a minority owned manufacturing company called American Dawn Inc and have competitively priced the ECT gown. For the cost of the typical IV gown, the ECT gown provides features and benefits that are not available in any gown currently on the market. I am confident that once you see the gown you will see the value it will bring to Hospital.
The ECT gown has been featured in Healthcare Purchasing News, Surgical Products and The Executive Healthcare Management.
The ECT Patient Gown is contracted with Premier and Broadlane GPOs.

What happens when you run a code coverage tool against your test suite and you see some trivial methods, such as getters and setters in java, are not being covered? The novice developer will probably add a simple test to make sure the getters and setters do get and set the value they are, well, getting and setting. The intermediate developer will claim those tests are pointless and just leave the gap, and maybe write a blog post about how stupid code coverage is. The advanced developer will simply delete those methods, they were not needed anyway.

With more disease, an early diagnosis means a better prognosis. However, sometimes it is difficult, painful, and expensive to test for illnesses.
Now, there is a new way to spot a variety of conditions.
All it takes is a simple breath.
Every minute, the average person takes about 15 breaths. Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic say they can reveal a lot about your health.
Doctor Raed Dweik, Director of the Pulmonary Vascular Program at the Cleveland Clinic, says, "Anything in your blood that is potentially volatile will end up showing up in your breath."
Researchers have been studying whether a simple breath test could detect conditions like liver, kidney and heart disease. In a recent pilot study, they were able to show the test was 100-percent accurate at identifying patients with heart failure.
Dr. Dweik says,"We were so surprised by it that we actually did it twice!"
They duplicated the results in the second trial. The test has also been able to detect patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis, a condition that has no diagnostic test.
Dr. Dweik explains, "We could, with more than 90-percent accuracy, pick these patients every time we tested them."
Lung cancer is another disease picked up by the breath test. Previous studies have shown about 80-percent accuracy, but at the 2013 chest conference, Doctor Peter Mazzone reported on an advanced version of the sensor.
Dr. Mazzone, Director of the Respiratory Institute Lung Cancer Program at the Cleveland Clinic, says, "The early results suggest that we've been able to improve our accuracy."
This test offers patients a simple, pain-free glimpse into their health.
Doctors hope the test will be able to find other cancers in the future.
A study testing the breath test on kidney disease patients is just wrapping up, and doctors say the results will be published soon.
TOPIC: Breath test spots disease
BREATH TESTING: By simply testing one's breath, a multitude of health problems can be diagnosed. For centuries, doctors have noticed that disorders with the kidneys and liver have added a unique smell to the breath. Today, these tests are being expanded upon to help find asthma, diabetes and tuberculosis. Breath tests are also easier to administer than other tests. Compared to blood tests, a breath test is less expensive, yields results in a mere fraction of the time and can be repeated as much as necessary. Much like a finger print, each individual carries with them their own unique breath signature. When the breath is exhaled, tiny droplets of proteins, antibodies and DNA are sent out that contain an array of health information. (Source: Melinda Beck, www.online.wsj.com)
* Hydrogen Breath Test - This test is mainly used to detect lactose intolerance and bacterial overgrowth. It's performed in the doctor's office where the patient is asked to ingest milk, soda, or sugar water. When the patient exhales into the Breathalyzer, the doctor's will analyze how much hydrogen is carried in the breath.
* Urea Breath Test - This test is simpler to perform compared to the hydrogen breath test. This test detects Helicobacter Pylori, which is a bacteria found in the stomach, which can lead to the development of ulcers. The test around 30 minutes to complete and typically yields results in about two to three days. (Source: www.austingastro.com)
NEW FINDING: Over the past few years, there's been an increased use of breath tests to detect different liver and kidney disorders, stomach problems and various other health issues. But now a new type of breath test is being tested that's not only able to detect diseases with the kidney and liver, but heart disease and lung cancer as well. This new test works by using a sensor that will change color based on which chemicals are being exhaled from the breath. Testing has shown that people suffering with heart disease have a distinctive breath pattern from the people who don't. (Source: Peter Mazzone, MD)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells, also often referred to as HEK 293, HEK-293, 293 cells, or less precisely as HEK cells are a specific cell line originally derived from human embryonic kidney cells grown in tissue culture. HEK 293 cells are very easy to grow and transfect very readily and have been widely used in cell biology research for many years. They are also used by the biotechnology industry to produce therapeutic proteins and viruses for gene therapy.
HEK 293 cells were generated in the early 70s by transformation of cultures of normal human embryonic kidney cells with sheared adenovirus 5 DNA in Alex van der Eb's laboratory in Leiden, The Netherlands. The human embryonic kidney cells were obtained from a single apparently healthy fetus legally aborted under Dutch law; the identity of the mother and the reason for the abortion are no longer known.[1] The kidney cells were originally cultured by van der Eb himself; the transformation by adenovirus was performed by Frank Graham in van der Eb's lab and were published in the late 1970s after Graham left Leiden for McMaster University in Canada.[2] They are called HEK since they originated in human embryonic kidney cultures, while the number 293 comes from Graham's habit of numbering his experiments; the original HEK 293 cell clone was simply the product of his 293rd experiment.
Subsequent analysis has shown that the transformation was brought about by an insert consisting of ~4.5 kilobases from the left arm of the viral genome, which became incorporated into human chromosome 19.[3]
For many years it was assumed that HEK 293 cells were generated by transformation of either a fibroblastic, endothelial or epithelial cell all of which are abundant in kidney. However the fact that the cells originated from cultured kidney cells does not say much about the exact cellular origin of the HEK 293, as embryonic kidney cultures may contain small numbers of almost all cell types of the body, including neural crest cells, neurons and glia. In fact Graham and coworkers more recently provided evidence that HEK 293 cells and several other human cell lines generated by adenovirus transformation of human embryonic kidney cells have many properties of immature neurons, suggesting that the adenovirus was taken up and transformed a neuronal lineage cell in the original kidney culture.[4] As a consequence, HEK 293 cells may need to be re-characterized and should not be used as an in vitro model for kidney cell function or studies involving kidney cells.
HEK 293 cells have a very complex karyotype, exhibiting two or more copies of each chromosome and with a modal chromosome number of 64. They are described as hypotriploid, containing less than three times the number of chromosomes of a normal diploid human cell. Chromosomal abnormalities include a total of three copies of the X chromosome and four copies of chromosome 17 and chromosome 22.[5] The presence of multiple X chromosomes and the lack of a Y chromosome suggest that the original fetus was female.
As an experimentally transformed cell line, HEK 293 cells are not a particularly good model for normal cells, cancer cells, or any other kind of cell that is a fundamental object of research. However, they are extremely easy to work with, being straightforward to culture and to transfect, and so can be used in experiments in which the behavior of the cell itself is not of interest. Typically, these experiments involve transfecting in a gene (or combination of genes) of interest, and then analyzing the expressed protein; essentially, the cell is used simply as a test tube with a membrane. The widespread use of this cell line is due to its extreme transfectability by the various techniques, including calcium phosphate method, achieving efficiencies approaching 100%.
An important variant of this cell line is the 293T cell line that contains, in addition, the SV40 Large T-antigen, that allows for episomal replication of transfected plasmids containing the SV40 origin of replication. This allows for amplification of transfected plasmids and extended temporal expression of the desired gene products. Note that any similarly modified cell line can be used for this sort of work; HeLa, COS and Chinese Hamster Ovary cell are common alternatives.[citation needed]
Examples of such experiments include:
A more specific use of HEK 293 cells is in the propagation of adenoviral vectors. Viruses offer an extremely efficient means of delivering genes into cells, since this is what they have evolved to do, and are thus of great use as experimental tools. However, as pathogens, they also present a degree of danger to the experimenter. This danger can be avoided by the use of viruses which lack key genes, and which are thus unable to replicate after entering a cell. In order to propagate such viral vectors, a cell line that expresses the missing genes is required. Since HEK 293 cells express a number of adenoviral genes, they can be used to propagate adenoviral vectors in which these genes (typically, E1 and E3) are deleted, such as AdEasy.[11]
293, and especially 293T, cells are commonly used for the production of various retroviral vectors. Various retroviral packaging cell lines are based on these cells.
Depending on various conditions, the gene expression of HEK 293 cells may vary. The following proteins of interest (among many others) are commonly found in untreated HEK 293 cells:

The calendar says spring, but we're waiting.
For the grass to grow. The flowers to bloom. The lakes to thaw. The maple syrup to flow freely.
Sure, we're seeing a bit more sunshine and the days are getting longer – partly thanks to daylight saving time, which kicked in March 9.
But there are plenty of other signs we're waiting to cheer once they get here; whenever they get here.

Guestbook comments from the manager
Our family found Casa Torchiano to be an ideal place for our holidays in apulia. On the first day my nephew (10 years) kept repeating: "It's too good to be true!" Needless to say, it was all true...
It was a great place for resting away from the city hustle and bustle. At the same time it was pretty close to Monopoli and Fasano where we found the grocery store, restaurants and shopping opportunities (thanks to the owners for their suggestions!). Of course, we had to remember that we would have to drive back home from the restaurants. We enjoyed cooking ourselves in both, indoor and outdoor kitchens.
All generations enjoyed the place - the children loved running around among the olive trees, the parents enjoyed the sun and the distant see view, and the grandmother admired the garden and the quietness of the area. The Casa itself, little trulli and the garden house were nice and very cozy.
The owners, everyone from Trulli &Dimore; were very helpful. We felt we could ask any question, look for any advice and it would be answered. Grazie, Anna, Enrica and Giacomo!
Casa Torchiano has a very good location for exploring the nearby area - the beach and the wonderful white towns, including the famous trulli capital.
We looked at many different properties when planned this trip and we are very happy that we chose exactly Casa Torchiano!

Posted by Nit3m4reActually thats incorrect, they have rebalanced the game given some characters new moves, and tweaked other moves. Example Chun Li's spinning bird kick, now goes up then down in an arc. If you go to the Capcom Site you can read Sirlin's weekly articles on the changes made to the game. (The original game is included with the game, so if you do not like the new changes you can still play the original version - 2 games for the price of 1).

November 27, 2014
A re-sentencing has been scheduled for June 9th for a Nebraska inmate who killed his 12-year-old sister when he was 14.
Sydney Thieszen was convicted of murder in 1988 for killing his sister Sacha at their home near Henderson on September 17, 1987. The 41-year-old has been serving his life term at the Tecumseh prison.
A judge ruled Thieszen is entitled to re-sentencing in accordance with the 2012 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that mandatory, life-without-parole sentences for juvenile killers is unconstitutional.
State lawmakers enacted a measure last year that ends mandatory life sentences for juveniles who commit first-degree murder. The guidelines now call for a sentence of 40 years to life for juveniles.

It would be good to be able to customize the message when someone is blocked .. "Congratulations" doesn't really wash in a corporate environment, also customization would give the ability to provide contact details for the admin - or turn this message off completely. (A malicious person who realizes this block feature is installed could block all accounts of people in a forum they dont like, etc)
When logging in with a wrong password to a blocked account you get the following with or without the plugin enabled:
Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet.
When the plugin is enabled you get the following two lines as well (3 total):
No user by that name, or your account is blocked.
Congratulations, you have just blocked your user account. Please contact the administrator.
It should be limited to just one extra line saying "This account has been blocked" (or as customized) and can be turned on or off.
I realise the text change be changed by hacking at code but including it as options in the interface makes it a lot more friendly!
Hope you find my review of use.
Good feedback, thanks! I did make the messages semi-configurable using a language file so that you wouldn't ever have to touch the actual cod. I recognize modifying language files isn't as easy or intuitive, so I agree with you it should be configurable by the plugin. I will make this improvement.
You should be able to select "don't send an email" in the dropdown, and then use the BCC field to put any emails to notify whomever you would like to control who does and doesn't get notified.
I'll review the interface to make it more intuitive for the next version. This version was really just to get it out there since I couldn't find one. I hope to get a few fixes done this next week!

This year, North Carolina schools will begin administering a new set of common exams called the Measures of Student Learning/Common Exams (MSL/CE). These common exams will measure student growth in core subjects and grades. We will start administering these tests at the end of this school year – Spring 2013, during the EOG/EOC testing window. The main purpose of these tests is to measure a teacher's contribution to the academic growth of their students.
For elementary and middle school students taking the Science and/or Social Studies MSL/CE Assessments, no test scores will be provided. For middle and high school students enrolled in high school courses, the MSL/CEs will serve as the course's final exam. As per district policy, these exams will account for 20% of the final grade.
What subjects will be tested using the MSL/CEs?
Who is required to participate?
Select elementary students in grades 4-5 and all students in grades 6-8, plus students enrolled in certain high school courses, must participate in the common exams with the following exceptions:
Most students with disabilities will participate in the common exam using the accommodations they normally use for classroom assessments.
More information:

Pedophiles and child pornographers know NO political allegiance Tot. As usual you come here to lay the fault of societies shortcomings on the Liberal doorstep, you misguided uneducated goat. I read the story also and if George is guilty he deserves the punishment you note in your basic blog post.
However, your particular form of idiocy is just about as reprehensible as might be Dr. Grants alleged sins and breaking of the law. You would have folks reading your blog think the worst about Liberals and those not awash in your ignorant blame game certitude.
YOU Tot, in the sense of this blog site, are in my opinion, a self righteously ugly blog 'pornographer' as it pertains to your ill chosen words on these pages.
To suggest that societies perversions lie solely in the Liberal camp bespeaks an ignorance of such tremendous magnitude that it has no place in civil discussion. Not just here but anywhere.
Per Right4Life's observance of political ideology titled Scare Tactics, below and apologies to him: "It never ceases to amaze me the lengths Conservatives go to influence the general public to think the worst about Liberals."
TOT, I have to agree with JM on this. Pedophiles rather liberal or what ever makes no difference. They're still a child predator. I also think they should get the death penalty if proven guilty.
Sheran I know that it makes no difference if they are from the left or the right.
George Grant moved here in the early sixties and we became well acquainted as we were in some clubs together.
The point I was attempting to make was that he told me that he was somewhat liberal at a time when , around here at least, there were not many liberals.
I recall being impressed with his declaration.
Now fast forward fifty five years and one who had declared himself to be a little liberal back then is now a pedophile.
As we have become increasingly more tolerant of what was once deviant behaviour (sp) the previously unthinkable gradually becomes acceptable.
It is much like the story of putting a frog in hot water and he jumps out. You can put a frog in a pot of cold water and slowly turn up the temp until you have boiled him.
That is what these damned liberals have done to society during my lifetime.
Ever creeping liberalism has damaged this formerly great country in many different ways.
@Tot: The onset of senility is a terribly sad thing to watch, even if one does not like the person. The frightened bitterness of a man who is slowly becoming increasingly scared of the world around him as he ages is tragic.
That is all I care to say about you today Tot.
I don't really care what you say about me on any day Jimmy Darsey.
I have no interest in anything you have to say about anything.
I understand Tot: Alheizemers does that to people.
You are to be pitied, and not mourned Tot. A wasted uneducated mass of a progressively degenerating defective mind.
I DO feel sorry you Tot but I am extremely sad for your wife and what awaits her in your meltdown.
Fellow bloggers and readers please excuse the above distraction and lets discuss this issue.
If George Grant is guilty as charged please consider the consequences of a little bit of liberalism at the start of a half century time span and the results over an extended period of time.
A self avowed humanitarian liberal in 1964 became an indicted pedophile in 2014.
You put a frog in hot water and he jumps out.
You put a frog in a pot of cold water and slowly turn up the temperature and you can boil him alive.
The liberals among us have done just exactly that to our society over the past half century.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Police are investigating the deaths of two people in their home.
The victims are an elderly man and woman.
Family members couldn't get in touch with the couple so they called the police.
The Cape Coral Fire Department was on scene to check to see if there was any gas in the home.
A neighbor said the garage door had been open since Tuesday night and a light was on in a bedroom all night.
Police will not say where the victims were found, but say the deaths do not appear suspicious and do not think foul play was involved.
