Swiss drug maker Novartis Group said July 15 that its eye care unit, Fort Worth-based Alcon, will join with a division of Google Inc. to develop and market a smart contact lens for all ocular medical uses. The smart lens technology involves non-invasive sensors, microchips and other miniaturized electronics that are embedded within contact lenses. Google's new smart lens technology has the potential to help diabetic patients manage their body's glucose and help people with presbyopia to restore their eyes' natural autofocus on near objects.
"We are looking forward to working with Google to bring together their advanced technology and our extensive knowledge of biology to meet unmet medical needs," said Novartis CEO Joseph Jimenez. "This is a key step for us to go beyond the confines of traditional disease management, starting with the eye." Under the new agreement, Google[x], a team within Google, will bring its expertise in miniaturized electronics, microfabrication and low power chips, while Alcon will provide the medical know-how in physiology and visual performance of the eye as well as commercialization of contact and intraocular lenses. The transaction remains subject to anti-trust approvals. The three Alcon businesses – surgical, pharmaceutical and vision care – generated net sales of $10.5 billion in 2013. Alcon has more than 25,000 employees worldwide, with operations in 75 countries and products available in 180 markets.

Over the past quarter century, many pharmaceutical companies have largely turned their backs on the quest to develop new antibiotics, blaming difficulties surrounding the clinical trials process and turning their attention to the more profitable development of so-called "lifestyle drugs." One company bucking the trend is NovoBiotic Pharmaceuticals, which has announced the discovery of a new class of antibiotic that holds promise for treating drug-resistant superbugs. Read More
3D-printed tumor replicas to better measure doses of cancer-fighting drugs
Administering the correct dosages to fight cancerous tumors can be a difficult balancing act. Too much of the radioactive drugs can cause harm to healthy tissue, but not enough will see the cancer cells survive and continue to spread. But a new technique developed at The Institute of Cancer Research in London may afford doctors an unprecedented level of accuracy in performing radiotherapy, using 3D-printed replicas of a patient's organs and tumors to better determine how much radiation a tumor has received.

Toxin-producing stem cells fight brain tumors where it matters most
When it comes to new tumor-fighting treatments, it's often as much about location, location, location as it is the actual drug interaction. Cytoxin-producing stem cells produced by scientists at Harvard University lodge at the site of brain tumor removal to continually attack remaining tumor cells. As an alternative to drug treatments that can be invasive or ineffective, the researchers saw promising results against glioblastomas, which hold the dubious distinction of being the most common and most fatal brain cancer.

Heroin overdoses may be better treated with a nasal spray
Heroin overdoses are typically treated using injections of a medication that resuscitates the victim. That's fine if paramedics are doing it, but not everyone feels comfortable giving someone else a needle. That's why scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) are developing a nasal spray that does the job. Read More
MIT, working together with the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), has pioneered a method of drug distribution with the potential to dispense with traditional subcutaneous injections. The system uses a small capsule coated with microneedles in order to administer medicines directly into the lining of the intestine. Read More
A great strength of 3D-printing in the field of medicine is the ability to provide low-cost, personalized implants molded to a patient's anatomy. Researchers from Louisiana Tech University have now taken the technology one step further, loading these custom implants with cancer-fighting and antiobiotic compounds as a means of better targeted drug delivery.

There are numerous research efforts underway to develop new treatments and improve the lives of people suffering type 2 diabetes, whose ranks have increased dramatically in recent decades due in large part to the so-called obesity epidemic. A new generation of safer and more effective diabetes drugs could be in the offing with researchers at the Salk Institute discovering that when mice with diet-induced diabetes were given a single injection of a protein, their blood sugar levels were restored to a healthy range for more than two days.

Date rape drugs are often the substance of choice for perpetrators of sexual assaults, the effects of which leave the victim unable to defend themselves, not able to remember any of the events that ensued and – worse – not able to recall details of their attacker.

The General Lewis Inn is a charming place, full of character and ambience. Momentos of days gone by can be found everywhere, and the rooms are simple, yet interesting. I recently visited with my sister and mother, and we stayed in one of the "family suites." It consisted of two small rooms with windows onto the garden, one bed in the first room, and a step up to two beds in the back room, which also featured a fireplace. The rooms were not spacious, but they had everything we needed, including TVs in each and ample seating. The bathroom was minimal, but we did notice the soft towels. The restaurant served a wonderful dinner with wine. We enjoyed rocking on the front porch and in the large gathering room. The backyard was delightful, with benches and flowers in bloom. It was a nice respite after dinner. The quaint shops of Lewsiburg were a delightful walk down the hill. I recommend this Inn, especially if you enjoy a step back in time!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Antique filled country Inn serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. We've been welcoming the traveler with warm hospitality since 1929. ... more less

Sweet belt but sizing is off. I'm a measured 34-35 waist (not just randomly guessing based off pants/shorts/etc) and went w/ the large first (34-38 it said), and it was way big. I switched out for a medium (allegedly for 30-34 waist) and its perfect...4 holes left going one way, and 5 the other. The length of the medium excluding buckle is 41". As others have noted: its wide, padded, comfortable and seems durable.
I picked this up primaily for running, and also as a mid-layer/shell for hiking. We finally had some cold temps in NY to test this bad boy out and its warm. I'm still trying to find the right baselayer to temp calc. 1st time (powerstrectch base, 20-30 temp, teens windchill) and ended up sweating more than i wanted. 2nd time, similar temps and cap 2 base and similar result. In warmer temps, I've worn lightweight merino, and that worked out but I was also able to drop the zipper a bit more. When the temp is in the teens, I am less inclined to lower the zipper. Also, when I fully zip the jacket with the hood up, the neck is too snug for my liking. Wearing a turtleneck base w or w/o zipper saves me from having to zip the jacket all the way up. The lone back/side pocket is good for gloves, ear wamer, cap, etc (just 1 or 2, not all 3).
Large fits well for 6', 42 chest, 34-35 waist. The jacket has no drawcords but doesnt need them with the athletic cut.

"An excellent picture of life in Alaska."
I have read several of the Kate Shugak series, and switched to audio for travel. I can get a lot of books on my i-phone, and it's a lot lighter to carry than all those books! I really enjoy descriptions of places and cultures, and these books provide a lot of those, plus very entertaining fiction. Please get more of these on audible!
The plot is engaging, and the series develops the relationships between characters in a way that makes reading them in sequence a richer experience. That said I'm backtracking at this point while waiting for more of the recent editions to be presented.
Many readers have difficulty with timing and emphasis while reading, and Marguerite Gavin has definitely improved thru the series. I now have her firmly placed in my mind's
I rarely have 6-8 hours to sit and listen to a book unless I'm on a long flight. But, I stay with these books and usually finish them in 48 hours.

These six Bible studies are crafted especially for men, and provide biblical answers, relationship-building discussion questions, fun activities, and character-building insights from the life of Tony Dungy, Former Head Coach of the Indianapolis Colts.
Ever been in a bad situation and asked why this happened? Ever had a friend going through a difficult time, and you're not sure what to say? Join Pastor Michelle as we explore the book of Job.

The tacos are supreme but the dessert is amazing. Every bite of the Tres Leches melts in your mouth.
Great spot in midtown to sit outside on the patio on a nice day. Taco plates are reasonably priced and a good pick-- I had the Al Pastor.
Recently met friends for a late lunch ad Zocalo's. The atmosphere was hopping with a younger energetic crowd of mostly guys, The menu was decent, the drinks were good and the food has a decent taste. I did find the portions to be small compared to other similar places in the local area. Overall the price seemed to be more... More
I had a very good meal with a couple beers. Nice setting in the heart of Atlanta. The service was excellent!
In Atlanta for the weekend and found that Zocalo was having Chile Relleno festival during August. Of course we had to stop for dinner. I had a seafood version. Very healthy - not breaded and fried in oil. I requested that the rice be held off the plate. Visually nice, flavor was pretty good. Nice place.
Food was excellent, margaritas delicious. Waiter a little too attentive. Guacamole made at table was fantastic. Only complaint is the table had rough edges and 2 of us ended up with cuts on our elbows.
If you are ever planning on going for brunch to this restaurant please save yourself a trip, we got there and they had disney movies music playing on the background, as well the menu is pretty small especially when it comes to brunch and REALLY small portions. The worst part was when we payed our bill the waiter never brought... More
We stopped here twice on our road trip to and from Florida. We wandered in our first night because it looked neat from the outside and we were met by amazing service, fantastic drinks and terrific food. We had a top shelf margaritas that were superb and Mexican fare that blew our socks off. The establishment was busy both nights... More
Stopped in just before closing, around 10:30pm on a Friday night. The condition of the restrooms was appalling, so much so that we considered leaving without ordering food.... but it was late and everywhere else was already closed. So we stayed. And I am glad we did. Our dinners were excellent!. The food was beautifully presented. I had cheese enchiladas,... More
This was my partner and I's first trip to Atlanta. We wanted to check out some nightlife, but decided to grab a bite to eat first. Chips and salsa were great. We ordered the Queso Dip and that was excellent as well! Very much worth the price, you get a ton! For our meal, we split a pulled chicken burrito,... More

London: British banks could be underestimating the riskiness of their property loans and may need more capital to correct this, ratings agency Fitch said on Thursday.

Fitch warns UK banks could need more capital
FSA review of risk-weighted assets ends in March
Fitch's comment chimes with a Bank of England report in November that said the UK's four biggest banks — HSBC, Barclays, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds — could be over-stating their capital levels by between £5 billion and £35 billion because of the way they measure risk.
The UK's Financial Services Authority is reviewing how banks weight the riskiness of their loan books and lenders will be told by March if they need to beef up their capital reserves to protect against loans going sour.
The results of the review are not expected to be made public.
"We expect that banks will have to set aside more capital and that this requirement will probably be addressed either by way of additional capital buffers or higher risk-weightings for certain classes of loans," Claudia Nelson, senior director of financial institutions at Fitch, told Reuters.
"The measures are likely to be introduced gradually."
A Fitch study showed how retail lenders' assessment of their loans books has grown rosier since the financial crisis despite rising unemployment and a poor economic outlook.
From the end of 2007 to the end of June 2012, the banks' risk weighted assets (RWAs) nearly halved to 35 percent from 65 per cent at end December 2007 despite their loan books, comprised mainly of mortgages, staying relatively stable.
The lower the RWA weighting the greater the chance the loan will be repaid and the less capital a bank needs to hold on its books.
A study of banks with a higher exposure to residential mortgages revealed an even sharper fall in their perceived risk - despite the property market crash, Fitch said.
Nelson declined to say how much more capital banks could need.

PGG Wrightson will closely watch Australian demand for its seed products in coming months as the east coast of that country recovers from extreme weather.
The diversified rural services company is also eyeing sheep prices in terms of its full year earnings as it prepares to release its half-year result later this month.
In a presentation to the company's annual meeting in October 2012, managing director George Gould indicated an improved bottom line in the full year to June 30, 2013. It reported a bottom line net profit of $24.5 million in fiscal 2012.
Last week, Gould said the main risks for PGG Wrightson were livestock values, particularly a fall in sheep stock prices since February 2012, reducing commissions to the services company, and the Australian weather.
"Cattle's been pretty steady but sheep values are down, they're around half of what they were a year ago (caused by) supply and demand. The schedule prices published by meat companies are down, market prices in the UK are down.
"They actually notched back a bit even more last week, so we're getting in some cases less than half."
The company looked forward for the coming autumn sales of seed products in Australia. The recent extreme weather, including both floods and drought in parts of the eastern states of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, continued to create uncertainty.
PGG Wrightson served those states, although with only a small presence in Queensland, as well as South Australia plus its New Zealand operations.
"About 80 per cent of our grain seed revenue and sales occur in the second half, January to June," Gould said.
"In New Zealand we're pretty confident about our position, we've got a pretty good robust business here. In Australia it's newer and the climate changes are more extreme. The worry we have, which we have every year, is just how will Australia pan out. It does look quite promising to the extent that there have been some early recent rains in some very dry areas."
On the positive side, PGG Wrightson had reduced debt levels to "well under $100 million".
It had a greatly improved retail business, better organised than when he took over the managing director role in January 2011 on a two-year contract.
Gould recently renewed his contract, but has not detailed for how long except to say he will stay as long as the board sees him adding value.
The company's irrigation division, helped by strong sales of the pivot systems in Canterbury and Otago, was also trading well, Gould said. "We've sold nearly double the amount of irrigators this year[to date] as against last year [to date]."
Irrigation was part of a changing landscape, including new rules for changing land use. This came with the switch from sheep to dairy farming.
Regional councils, including Environment Canterbury, were introducing different land-use guidelines for different regions of the South Island. In some regions an effective halt to land-use change had been called, while in other areas a timeframe had been set for changes.

KARACHI, Pakistan, Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Monet, one of Pakistan's leading mobile-commerce providers, has selected a customized IBM cloud-based solution that will enable the company to enhance service efficiency and expand its presence across the country.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
Launched in 2012, Monet provides banks, mobile network operators and branchless banking agents in Pakistan with a technology platform that offers end-users a simple interface through which they can access a wide range of financial services on their mobile phones.
Mobile banking and financial services are expected to grow significantly in Pakistan in the coming years. Increased demand for affordable banking, a lack of traditional banking infrastructure and an aggressive branchless banking mandate from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) has driven quick uptake of mobile banking in the country.
With a population of 180 million, a mobile phone penetration of more than 70% and a banked ratio of only 22%, Pakistan offers a large potential market for Mobile Financial Services (MFS). According to an SBP recent branchless banking newsletter, the number of mobile banking accounts was at 1.45 million, showing a growth of 37% during the second quarter of 2012, with new level zero account openings registering a jump of 370%. The existing accounts activity level also improved substantially during the quarter as the number of active accounts increased by 66%.1
To capture this opportunity, Monet chose IBM to develop a unique IT environment allowing the company to offer reliable and efficient services to a growing customer base throughout the country.
"Mobile financial services have reached an inflection point where they have moved from niche to mainstream," said Ali Abbas Sikander, CEO, Monet. "We believe mobile can potentially become the strongest channel for the delivery of financial services. IBM's cloud solution will allow us to reach our clients easily, giving us access to a wider base of customers and ultimately extending the reach of financial services in the country."
IBM will develop a specialized solution based on IBM SmartCloud technology, to deploy Monet's mobile banking applications from Fundamo, a leading mobile financial services platform provider and an IBM partner. The private cloud will allow Monet to save on initial investments in IT and help the company offer more efficient services at a reduced cost.
IBM SmartCloud infrastructure is based on IBM servers, storage and software optimized to meet growing mobile demand. In addition, Monet has outsourced the entire networking, security, cryptographic solutions, and disaster recovery to IBM, in order to focus on its core business.
"Mobile and Cloud are a powerful combination to provide sustainable and affordable banking services to millions of people in Pakistan," said Adnan Siddiqui, CGM, IBM Pakistan and Afghanistan. "IBM has global experience in the financial services sector and a thorough understanding of the local market, and our engagement with Monet is expected to benefit banking customers across the country."
The agreement was signed in May 2012.
About Monet
Monet is Pakistan's first and only shared access Mobile Financial Services (MFS) platform connecting banks, mobile operators and merchants. Monet envisions a world-class, feature-rich, fully-managed platform enabling the next generation of an electronic payments eco-system. Monet has already formed a strategic partnership with a leading commercial bank and a large telecom operator to enable the launch of a new mobile money brand in Pakistan. The company has attracted a private equity investment from Abu Dhabi Group (ADG). ADG is one of the leading business conglomerates in the Middle East with diversified business interests in Europe and Asia. ADG is led by His Highness Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan - the Federal Minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research of the United Arab Emirates.

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 29, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 4,812 |
By Pat Romanski The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to evolve the way the world does business; however, understanding how to apply it to your company can be a mystery.

Louis Hsieh
Thank you, Cynthia. Hello, everyone, and thank you for taking the time to join us today. As you have seen from our earnings release, our third quarter performance was disappointing and unacceptable to us. While our net revenues were affected by the early timing of Chinese New Year, which flows through to the P&L negatively impacted our profit margins as well. Now, profit margins were also affected by our efforts to increase penetrate in the K to college segment in our 50-city school network that we compete in with the addition of 81 learning centers in the quarter. We will strive to do better and are committed to maintaining a strong balance between growth and profitability in the quarters ahead. I will now walk you through the details of our third quarter. First, as we predicted in January, this quarter's financial results were negatively impacted by the early timing of Chinese New Year festival in 2012. Chinese New Year fell on January 23 rd, which was a couple of weeks earlier than usual. Thus, our normal two-week early sessions before Chinese New Year were shortened by just to one week. Thus, many students who would normally signup for the New Oriental's training courses doing one or both sessions before and after Chinese New Year elected not to enroll in the early sessions, but instead enrolled in the second session after Chinese New Year or chose to wait until the spring quarter, which has a longer course duration. Consequently, student enrollments and net revenues for the first two months in the first quarter and in this third quarter were soft. You may recall that in the third quarter of 2009 when the Chinese New Year fell on January 26 th, our performance was similarly affected. Encouragingly, we've seen a strong bounce back in enrollments and deferred revenues in February as students signed up for spring courses in order to prepare for the major exams in the summer, such as the college entrance exam or gaokao and the high school entrance exam or zhongkao. The back-loaded demand drove enrollments for language training and test preparation courses in the quarter to approximately 596,100, an increase of 21.6%. Furthermore, as of February 29 th, 2012 our deferred revenue balance was $239.8 million, an increase of 59.2% year-over-year. This level of deferred revenue implies strong financial performance for the next fiscal quarter. In order to take advantage of the strong demand for our services and the hugely promising market in China, we accelerated the implementation of our "fill in" strategy of building small learning centers in the 50 cities where we already have a presence. During the quarter, we opened a net 81 learning centers in about 25 existing cities. About 50% of the new facilities are small sized learning centers under 500 square meters and about 20% are medium sized learning centers between 500 square meters to 1000 square meters. In the past six months, we have added a net of 120 learning centers in total, with over 80 percent of them outside of Beijing and Shanghai. We also hired approximately 4,200 teacher and staff in the past half a year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
