As search technology advances, it's going to become more and more like human interaction. Apple's Siri might have popularized conversational search, but many of us feel that Google Now quickly surpassed it – with its faster and more accurate results. Soon much of Google Now's functionality will be arriving on PCs, by way of the Chrome OS and web browser. Not stopping there, Google also added some improvements to Android's Google Now. Read More
While we hear a lot about the ways in which hovering aerial drones can potentially be used to violate peoples' privacy, it's always nice to know that they can help us, too. That was the case last Thursday (May 9th), when RCMP from the Canadian city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan used a remotely-operated quadcopter to locate the victim of a single-vehicle rollover, which occurred in the countryside at near-freezing temperatures.

Google launches Google Now for iPhone and iPad
When Google first announced Google Now, lots of people called it a "Siri rival." The two services do have some overlap, but Google Now is much more than a sassy personal assistant. Like Google itself, Now is all about using data to provide the answers you're looking for – whether you've asked or not. Today iPhone users can finally get in on the Google Now fun. Read More
Device developed to more efficiently find buried bodies
You probably don't go hunting for decaying bodies too often, but then you probably don't work in the field of forensics. If you did, then you'd be glad to hear that technology recently developed by America's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) should make finding buried bodies much easier. Traditionally, cadaver-sniffing dogs have been used to find bodies, but they can be limited in situations such as where a body is buried under concrete. The new device, however, uses a probe slightly thicker than a human hair to probe the soil, detecting ninhydrin-reactive nitrogen (NRN) that collects in air pockets around gravesoil. Previous technology could only achieve that same end through what NIST describes as "the tedious and expensive process" of solvent extraction of soil samples. Read More
As Juliet was heard to remark: "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Well, that's fine for Juliet but if you can't think of a name for something, how do you search for it on the Web? Use Google Goggles. This new app for Android phones lets you use pictures taken with your mobile phone to conduct your searches. It's especially handy for things that aren't easy to describe in words – like ones right in front of you! There's no need to type or speak your query - all you have to do is open the app, snap a picture, and wait for your search results. Read More
Software to detect objects inside videos
Researchers at the University of Missouri (MU) are developing software that would enable computers to perform video analysis tasks, such as alerting emergency services if a video surveillance camera detects a person falling and not getting up. The software could also be used to search inside videos and look for certain objects, such as basketballs or footballs, hence reducing the time taken to locate a certain game or scene. Read More

Funny Science #187
October 26, 2012
We're taking a break from live recording this week. On the podcast, we're looking at the lighter side of science, both real and imagined. We're joined by Marc Abrahams, editor and co-founder of the science humor magazine Annals of Improbable Research, the father of the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony and author of the new book This Is Improbable. Researcher and blogger Scicurious returns to share more of her favorite Friday Weird Science posts. And we'll talk to Phil Edwards, author of the Fake Science blog and textbook.

Tony Romo symbolizes new Cowboys
Jason Garrett has instilled toughness in team, and his QB sets perfect example
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jason Garrett provided the mindset. Tony Romo delivered the game-winning drive.
You don't have to look any further than that for the biggest difference between these Dallas Cowboys and the mentally fragile group that shamed the star last season.
It begins with Garrett, who refused to allow his team to use its plethora of injuries as an excuse to have a lavish pity party.
Tony Romo, who needed two pain-killing injections before the game because he's playing with a fractured rib, provided the symbol of what it means to play for the Cowboys these days.
Romo played one of his best games, even though his passer rating was 70.9 and he threw an interception, failed to pass for 300 yards and saw his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass end at 20.
That's because Romo played his best football at winning time.
He completed three of four passes and converted a third-and-21 on the decisive drive in classic Romo fashion, creating a big play out of chaos with a 30-yard completion to Dez Bryant.
Rookie kicker Dan Bailey's sixth field goal -- a 40-yarder with 1:47 left -- gave the Cowboys an 18-16 win over the Washington Redskins before a national ESPN audience at Cowboys Stadium.
It was their ninth consecutive game decided by three points or fewer.
"It's a tribute to the players who are banged up and fought through and tried to practice as well as they could practice and play as well as they could play," Garrett said. "It's a tribute to the backup players who were ready to play when called upon.
"It's a tribute to everybody throughout the team understanding the resolve we needed to fight through the adversity. Injuries are a part of it for a long, long time. You can never use that as an excuse. The next guy has got to be ready."
Romo suffered a punctured lung and a fractured rib on the third play of last week's win over San Francisco. He missed all but 37 seconds of the third quarter last week but rallied the Cowboys from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the 49ers in overtime, 27-24.
After a CT scan earlier this week showed the small hole in his lung had healed, Romo said he figured he'd play against the Redskins.
Romo wore a special vest to protect his ribs, but there's no way for a quarterback to avoid getting hit when he throws 36 passes -- even if many of them are on three- and five-step drops.
More than a couple of times, the Redskins seemed on the verge of knocking Romo out of the game.
Each time, he slowly rose and returned to the huddle.
This is why Romo is finally becoming the leader you've yearned for since Troy Aikman took his last snap.
It began this summer with a letter to his teammates explaining why it was important for them to work out together during the lockout, and it continued when he accepted full responsibility, as he should have, after two critical turnovers in the last nine minutes in a loss to the New York Jets in Week 1.
Over the past two weeks, Romo has earned the right to demand every one of his teammates give their best effort with his gritty performances. He's earned the right to cuss them out when they bust an assignment, which he did more than once Monday night.
Listen to Bryant, hampered by a deep thigh bruise, talk passionately about how he couldn't fathom missing a second consecutive game because his pain didn't compare to Romo's.
That's leadership.
See, it has zero to do with wearing a baseball cap backward or playing golf in the offseason.
More on the Cowboys
Tim MacMahon, Todd Archer and Jean-Jacques Taylor have the Dallas Cowboys blanketed.
Blog » ESPN Dallas »
Top 50 Cowboys
It's about inspiring your teammates.
Romo's teammates see him grimacing and playing through the discomfort, and it makes them play even harder when they see him complete 22 of 36 passes for 255 yards while notching his 11th fourth-quarter comeback victory.
Garrett's influence is just as important as Romo's because he's changed this team's soft demeanor in just 11 games, which is remarkable.
No way the Cowboys would have won a physical slugfest like this under Wade Phillips, especially with three injured starters out and six other starters dealing with significant injuries.
They weren't mentally or physically tough enough. Times have changed.

Randy Houser fans got a special surprise earlier this week when the country star announced plans to finally release his brand new album "How Country Feels" in early 2013. His third album will be released on Stoney Creek Records on January 22nd, 2013. The record will feature his smash hit title track single, along with 14 other brand new tracks. It will be available at all digital and physical music retailers.
The follow-up to his critically-acclaimed sophomore album "They Call Me Cadillac" is a 15-track disc including seven songs penned by Houser, and is named for the hit "How Country Feels," Houser's fastest-climbing which has sold over 250k singles to-date. Maintaining his label as a "true singer's singer," (Roughstock), Houser brings the same quality craftsmanship to the new album that brought him No. 2 smash hit "Boots On," poignant ballad "Anything Goes," fan-favorite crowd stomper, "Whistlin' Dixie," and made him the Most-Played New Artist on country radio in 2009 (Country Aircheck).
"I've wanted to work with him since day one," says Houser. "We just clicked… he comes from my home state of Mississippi and we share a similar creative vision that I think really shines through on this new album… can't wait for ya'll to hear it!"

Although DC insiders skewer each other all the time, it still can be fun to listen when someone who's carried himself with the gravity of a deadly serious job – being Secretary of Defense – plunges into retirement, sells his memoir and lets loose with the snarkiness that he was forced to stifle during his lengthy government service. I'm referring to Robert Gates whose service included heading the Central Intelligence Agency and serving on the National Security Council.
Hyperbole is the aorta of politics, but I believe there wasn't all that much exaggeration the other day when Sen. Max Baucus warned that "a huge train wreck" was in the offing when federal healthcare reform more fully unfolds next January.
In my section of New York City in the "Mad Men" 1960s era, both my primary care doc and my dentist smoked cigarettes in their offices as they treated me. OK, the dentist would wash his hands, but his breath reeked. When I was hospitalized for an appendectomy, I kept a diary in my bedside drawer – until some nosy intern found it, called in his friends and read it aloud. And my surgery was delayed because the doc was out Christmas shopping – he had his hands full of presents as he waltzed by me in my pre-surgery anesthetic haze.
We wear lanyards, clip-on's or sticky labels. This day, our names show affiliations with the California Hospital Association, the Central California Sikh community and a West Coast petroleum association.
Three years after the birth of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka, Obamacare), the public largely feels ignorant of how it might affect them and has not experienced much outreach or education from those implementing the Rubik's Cube of rules.
Those are some of the findings of a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll. And they certainly mirror three online polls on Community Medical Centers' Intranet "Forum" site.
I was about three minutes into a presentation when I began dropping the "A-bombs." I believe the explosions started something like this: "CHA would like CMC to do outreach to area CBOs."
One vice president screwed up his face and spat out what he guessed I meant by CBO. (Hint: It's community-based organizations." My boss, an SVP (oops, another "bomb"), said something along about how far a onetime professional journalist has fallen when he routinely spits out alphabet soup instead of crisp Reader's Digest words.

Monkeying Around in Angkor, Cambodia
It's the only place in Angkor where dollars are disdained and carrying a banana in plain sight may start an altercation. On a dusty road near Angkor Wat, troops of monkeys line up by the side of the road for a photo and a sweet dwarf banana. The monkeys are so accustomed to being fed by tourists that they won't hesitate to pull at your pants or jump on your shoulders to get what they want. Since monkeys quickly gather at the sight of a new visitor, make sure to have more than just one banana handy. You can buy a bunch there for just one U.S. dollar.

I think Evan Rachel Wood wearing the heart shaped glasses was particularly poignant because at that time she was also busy stealing Marilyn Manson away from Dita Von Teese. Von Teese looked like the prim, stoic jaded and heartbroken aging vixon and Wood came off as the mischievous Lolita sucking on her lollypop and laughing at the adult melodrama, eventually discarding Manson in her wake.

Winner! Best Narrative Feature (Audience Award), 2013 Palm Springs International Film Festival
"The Sapphires sparkles with sass and Motown soul." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Packed with laughs! This gem of a movie will make your heart sing." - Chris Tookey, Daily Mail
"A slick, soul powered, feel-good movie." - Wendy Idle, The Times
The Sapphires is an inspirational tale set in the heady days of the late '60s about a quartet of young, talented singers from a remote Aboriginal mission, discovered and guided by a kind-hearted, soul-loving manager. Plucked from obscurity, the four spirited women with powerhouse voices - called The Sapphires - are given the opportunity to entertain American troops in Vietnam. Catapulted onto the world stage as Australia's answer to the Supremes, their journey of discovery offers them not only the chance to show off their musical skills, but find love and togetherness, experience loss and grow as women.
The Sapphires is an adaptation of the hugely successful Australian stage musical of the same name, and is inspired by the remarkable true story of writer Tony Briggs' mother and three aunts. The four Sapphires are joyfully played by AFI Award winner Deborah Mailman, Australian pop sensation Jessica Mauboy and newcomers Miranda Tapsell and Shari Sebbens. Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) delivers a tour de force comic performance as their manager, that is at once incredibly funny, likeable and genuine.
Receving a ten minute standing ovation at the prestgious Cannes Film Festival, The Sapphires is a crowd-pleasing combination of comedy, heart and romance and an unbeatable soul music soundtrack, set against the racial and social upheaval of the late 1960s. A jewel-bright charmer and an Australian classic, The Sapphires is not to be missed. (Dir. by Wayne Blair, 2012, Australia, 103 mins., Rated PG-13) Digital

Polyphonic Spree perform Sunday at the House of Blues.
I have been pretty fortunate in my life that I have had the privilege to see some amazing and memorable performances by bands, but there are a few shows over the years that I've missed that have become the thing of legend, like Nirvana at the old Casbah or Arcade Fire at the Casbah. One such show was the Polyphonic Spree at Cane's. I don't recall exactly why I missed the show, but if you ever run into someone who was there, they'll talk about it like a religious experience. Depending on who you ask and how exagerrated the story is, there were 15-30 people onstage in white robes resembling a small cult, and the performance descriptors generally include the words epic and/or amazing. The group has no plans to record a full album, but will focus on releasing singles digitally and via 7-inch records.

Wellington RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Wellington Suggested Itineraries
By Viator, September 2014
Wellington is at the heart of New Zealand – it's the southern-most city on the North Island, and the country's capital. It is compact, wrapped around a beautiful harbor, with those beautiful green hills you expect from New Zealand. Carved by the notorious wind that gives the city its nickname 'Windy Welly', the landscape is also the reason the city is home to a thriving film industry – Lord of the Rings anyone?
Day 1: The City, History and Culture
The first things you need to do on arriving anywhere is get your bearings. In Wellington, take to the air in a helicopter and really see how the city nestles into that legendary New Zealand landscape. If you're slightly more earthbound, catch the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens, or head to the Mt Victoria Lookout for panoramic views of the city and harbor. Then head down to the waterfront, the hub of Wellington, and visit the innovative Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Here you can learn about New Zealand's amazing geology, and about the indigenous Maori culture and history – it's worth taking one of the guided cultural tours.
Day 2: Shopping and Eating
New Zealand is famous for fashion. All that wool from all those sheep combined with a creative streak and you have labels valued worldwide. Explore the area around Lambton Quay, College Street, and Cuba Street. Also the weekend markets, especially Frank Kitts Market of emerging designer stalls. Wellington is renowned for its good food – restaurants in the city have won the national Best Restaurant Award four years out of the last five. Add to that hundreds of cafes and you won't be going hungry. If you like wine, this is also a great place for you. Martinborough wine region is nearby, and just across the water at the top of the South Island is the world-famous Marlborough wine region; catch the ferry there on one of the world's most spectacular crossings.
Day 3: The Great Outdoors
To atone for all that hedonistic spending and swilling, head for the great outdoors. Follow in the footsteps of Frodo and go to the sites made famous by The Lord of the Rings. Or mountain bike, horse-trek, explore the dramatic coastline, or head for the South Island on one of the world's most beautiful ferry journeys.

Our room in the manor was lovely. The inn is in a perfect location for exploring downtown Newport.
4.0 on July 23, 2014
On a whim, we decided to spend a few days mid-week in Newport, and were pleasantly surprised by the availability, hospitality and location of the Inns. We were graciously allowed to check in early (and thus could leave our car in the facility's lot, allowing for a downtown stroll without dealing with additional temporary parking), the room was comfortable and spotless, and breakfast was a fair variety of hot/cold fare. It might be advantageous to get into some sort of "working partnership" with the wine shop adjacent, so that guests might be informed about this like the Tuesday tasting classes, etc., but all in all, we felt welcomed, well attended, and cared for. We'll certainly stay again!

The one negative about the Bellevue house is that it is loud and conversations of others guests, in their rooms become public conversations. The breakfast was wonderful.

Professor Ian Chubb
THE warnings have become more frequent and more urgent: Australia's future as an innovator is at risk - along with its capacity to deal with climate change, population growth, security challenges and international competition.
And the cause of this alarm? Too few science teachers in our schools, and far too few students studying calculus-based mathematical subjects.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard felt so concerned about this trend that she commissioned the nation's Chief Scientist, Ian Chubb, to report to government on how enrolments could be boosted.
Professor Bruce Chapman
Professor Chubb, appointed to the role last year and previously the Australian National University's vice-chancellor, has a background in neuroscience. He says the key to his findings, handed to Ms Gillard yesterday, was identifying ways to make maths and science - which have come to be seen as dry and boring subjects - interesting to students.
''Making it attractive doesn't mean making it easier … if you make it interesting and relevant, you're basically going to make it easier,'' he says. ''[Maths, science and technology] need to be elevated so people who live in this country can understand that these are critical areas for our future. The better we do it now, the better our future.''
His report's focus was not on increasing funding for science education programs, which were the target of budget cuts earlier this financial year. ''It's a long-term issue, not a short-term one, so it's not about budget cost; it's a philosophic stance you take about the quality of the education sector.''
To help him prepare his research, Professor Chubb commissioned academic Ian Dobson - a researcher who splits his time between the Network for Higher Education and Innovation Research at the University of Helsinki and the Centre for Population and Urban Research at Monash University - to report on the study of natural and physical sciences.
Dr Dobson found that a shortfall in science students at local universities was placing future Australian innovation at serious risk, with the number of university science enrolments at all course-year levels stagnating in the past decade. He found that enrolments in science courses at all year levels, and by Australian and international students, had grown by 18,257 between 2002 and 2010 to 78,858.
Meanwhile, health enrolments grew by 66,293 places to 162,611 places and management and commerce enrolments leapt by 96,719 enrolments to 325,508 enrolments.
''Technical growth and innovation tends not to come from accountants,'' Dr Dobson told Higher Age from his home in Helsinki. ''It comes from the people with skills in the enabling sciences like chemistry, maths and physics.''
His report found that compared with an overall increase of 33 per cent in university enrolments, enrolments at all year levels in science had risen by 30.1 per cent.
''Superficially, therefore, this seemed like a very positive outcome, but the reality was that this apparently positive state of affairs masked a long-term decline in uptake of what are generally known as 'the enabling sciences' of chemistry, mathematics and physics.
''The apparent expansion in 'science' came from an expansion in the behavioural and biological sciences, and even in the 'non-sciences'.''
But the question of how to address plateauing enrolments has split the sector.
Dr Dobson says the Rudd government's discount on HECS scheme for maths and science students had been starting to generate more undergraduate domestic enrolments in the subjects.
According to him, the decision in November by Ms Gillard to abolish the discount for new students from 2013, saving $403.6 million over three years, was a mistake.
''These things take time - it takes a generation - but you just can't do it in the political timeframe,'' he says. ''[Politicians will] never admit this, but basically they're just thinking of the next election and the next budget.''
Greens MP Adam Bandt says the low growth in maths and science enrolments is proof the federal government's policies in the area are ''failing''. He points to funding cuts for primary and secondary school programs, and the HECS discounts, as proof of this. ''The fact that Brian Schmidt spent $100,000 of his Nobel prize money to top up a primary school science program [the federal government ceased funding] is pretty good proof of that,'' he says.
The Greens would push for increased funding to maths and science in the coming budget.
But not everyone agrees that pouring money into the HECS scheme is necessary. Australian National University Professor Bruce Chapman, often described as the architect of HECS, says the impact HECS discounts may have on enrolment figures is a complex issue.
''I would expect these changes in prices to have very little effect on enrolment behaviour,'' he says. ''People don't respond much to changes in HECS prices.'' And, in relation to the push for more maths students, he says: ''One important question that needs to be asked is: 'Where is the evidence that this is a good idea?' ''
Professor Chapman is supported by the Grattan Institute's higher education program director, Andrew Norton, a former adviser to University of Melbourne vice-chancellor Glyn Davis and former federal education minister David Kemp.
Mr Norton says the HECS discount policy had been a waste of money, and questions whether a drop in enrolments overall was cause for concern. ''Obviously, [the Dobson report] is about enrolments and not [about] whether there is any evidence that the supply of science graduates is inadequate to demand,'' Mr Norton says.
Indeed, Mr Norton says the picture is better than many believe, arguing that enrolments can be an unreliable measure of universities' health. Instead, he points out that the number of Australian students applying to begin an undergraduate course in science has actually risen in recent years, from 13,795 new applications in 2008 to 19,661 last year.
Education experts count student numbers in two ways - ''applications'', which are the number of Australian would-be students applying for the first year of an undergraduate course - and ''enrolments'', which are domestic and international students, in all course levels and all years of a course.
Mr Norton says when new applications are considered, science enrolments look healthy, but other areas do not. ''In the last few years there's been a surge in applications for science but the areas where we are suffering labour market need are health and, to a lesser extent, various engineering courses.''
Applications, though, only take into account the number of would-be students who want to study a field. Many students who indicate an interest in maths and science never go on to study the subjects.
Moreover, Professor Chubb says, many students begin their degree studying maths or science subjects, only to drop them after one year.
And it is clear that secondary students are increasingly turning off the more difficult mathematics subjects, many of which feed into the natural and physical sciences. In 1995, 14 per cent of year 12 maths students were studying advanced mathematics, while 37 per cent were studying elementary maths. Fifteen years later, 10 per cent were studying advanced maths, while 50 per cent took the easier option.
A report prepared by the Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute says while basic maths is growing in popularity, there has been a long-term decline in intermediate or advanced maths in year 12.
This has resulted in fewer universities offering higher maths courses, reduced graduation rates in the field, reduced teacher intakes and some higher-level maths and science being unavailable in many low-income and regional areas. Meanwhile, the institute estimates that industry demand for mathematics and statistics PhD graduates will rise by 55 per cent on 2008 levels by 2020.

Today is my 35th birthday. I wanted to write a post about how I've grown and all of the lessons I've learned in my life. I planned to share my wisdom with all the young whippersnappers and reflect on the years gone by. Perhaps even ponder what was in store for the years to come or share some more meaningful Whitney Houston songs.
Then I found a white pubic hair.
Now, in the last year I've found 2 stark white hairs on my head. They were thick like dental floss and made me think of an old storybook witch. I immediately plucked them and tossed them out. If you ignore them, they never existed, right? I didn't let them bother me. Although I did, briefly, consider building a house made of candy.
But this is different. The implication here is that my vagina is getting old. I am not ready for my vagina to be old. We got plans, yo. I've been taking care of this thing – cleaning, grooming, kegeling – so that it stays in tip-top shape. I would even go as far as to say that one of the reasons I don't have children is so that it doesn't go all twat waffled. Obviously it's not the main reason. It's somewhere down the list behind my alcoholism, my unwillingness to push a large living being through a tiny hole in my body, and my inability to stand any crying other than my own but it IS on the list.
What's next, huh? Wrinkly boobs? I already have to tighten my bra straps to keep the damn things up around my neck instead of down by my knees interfering with my mobility. They're constantly trying to escape, too. I feel like a goddamn lion tamer with chair and a whip yelling, "Get back in there! Hiya!"
The fact of the matter is this: I'm not ready to get old. If I recall correctly my dad had is first mid-life crisis when he was in his late 30s and I can't afford to buy a Corvette yet. I would really appreciate it if one of you smart people reading this would please start working on reversing the aging process. I'm not asking for much. Just turning the clock back 5 years or so…and staying there…forever.
Until then, for my birthday present you can get me a gift certificate for a Brazilian and/or a boob lift.

Arthritis: Reports from 2003 Arthritis Meeting (cont.)
Remicade was also reported to be effective in juvenile ankylosing spondylitis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Welcome news for this painful form of arthritis in children.
Enbrel is an injectable blocker of tumor necrosis factor for treating rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a protein that the body produces during the inflammatory response, which is the body's reaction to injury. TNF promotes the inflammation and its associated fever and signs (pain, tenderness, and swelling) in several inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. Enbrel is a synthetic (man-made) protein that binds to TNF. Enbrel thereby acts like a sponge to remove most of the TNF molecules from the joints and blood. This prevents TNF from promoting inflammation and the fever, pain, tenderness, and swelling of joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (and apparently other forms of inflammatory arthritis, such as psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and juvenile arthritis-see below). Enbrel is given by subcutaneous injection with a needle and syringe twice weekly.
Enbrel was found to be effective in a once weekly, 50 mg, dose!
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This is big news. Enbrel is now given by two 25 mg doses each week. Look for once weekly 50 mg dosing soon. Obviously, far more convenient for patients using Enbrel.
Several reports noted the safety and effectiveness of Enbrel for treating patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Enbrel has been granted FDA approval for psoriatic arthritis this year because of previous reports that had similar results.
Enbrel was reported effective in treating ankylosing spondylitis.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Look for FDA approval for this purpose soon.
Researchers from the United Kingdom reported that patients whose rheumatoid arthritis is not controlled with Remicade can respond successfully to Enbrel.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Well this is very interesting. Since both Remicade and Enbrel block TNF as a key method of action, one might expect that switching from one drug to the other might not be effective. Wrong. The researchers point out that the reason for the benefit from switching might be related to the fact that they do differ slightly in their targets (Remicade binds to both a soluble form of TNF-alpha and to TNF-alpha bound to membranes of cells, while Enbrel binds to soluble TNF-alpha and to another chemical messenger lymphotoxin-alpha). Big words! They simply mean that if one fails on one TNF-blocking drug, it is rational to try another.
Enbrel for rheumatoid arthritis was reported to have sustained benefit and safety after 5 years of treatment.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: Great news to have long-term data that supports the concept that this drug actually safely stops rheumatoid arthritis in its tracks!
Humira (adalimumab) is an antibody that blocks the effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). TNF-alpha is a substance made by cells of the body that has an important role in promoting inflammation. TNF promotes the inflammation and its associated fever and signs (pain, tenderness, and swelling) in several inflammatory conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. By blocking the action of TNF-alpha, adalimumab reduces the signs and symptoms of inflammation and stops the progression of joint damage. Humira is given by subcutaneous injection with a needle and syringe weekly or every other week.
Researchers from Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, and Germany reported that the reduction of joint inflammation and improved function from Humira is often extremely rapid (as early as 1 week after starting treatment).
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This report is consistent with the remarkable benefits in relieving joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that we often see with TNF-blocking drugs, such as Humira.
Several research groups reported that the beneficial effect Humira in quieting inflammation and stopping disease progression of rheumatoid arthritis was sustained over 5 years of study.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: These reports are welcome news for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It is reassuring that the initial, often dramatic, effect at stopping inflammation continues over years of treatment. It is very important to have these types of studies with newer medications.
Researchers from Germany reported that Humira is effective when used alone or in combination with methotrexate and that the blood levels of Humira are somewhat higher in patients taking methotrexate as well.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This report confirms what has been appreciated by rheumatologists for some time - that the benefits can be enhanced by combining methotrexate with TNF-blocking drugs. It also alludes to one explanation as to why, i.e., because blood levels of Humira are increased when taking it with methotrexate.
Rituxan (rituximab) is an antibody that is used to treat lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. It seems to be effective in treating autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis because it depletes B-cells, which are important cells of inflammation and in producing antibodies.
Rituxan was found to be beneficial in treating severe rheumatoid arthritis complicated by blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) and cryoglobulinemia.
Dr. Shiel's Perspective: This report is one of many suggesting that Rituxan may offer an alternative in treating severe complications of rheumatoid arthritis. Rituxan would represent a novel approach as a treatment alternative in rheumatoid arthritis. (Incidentally, another paper at the meeting documented its safety in treating rheumatoid arthritis.)

Hospitals need to step up to the plate and take on the responsibility of educating nursing staff on the what exactly HCAHPS surveys measure and what they can do to improve scores. This process shouldn't be a monthly blame-session in which the entire department feels defeated, but instead a continuous process that begins at orientation and is evaluated routinely.
Best Stethoscope for Nurses: 3M Littmann Classic II S.E. Stethoscope
The 3M™ Littmann® Classic II S.E. Stethoscope is sensitive and comes equipped with a dual-sided, turntable diaphragm and bell. This technology is highly sensitive and allows the capture any sound whether it's high or low frequency. The tubing is durable and can easily be folded and put in a lab jacket pocket. It's also latex free and a nonchill chestpiece, which is a must in direct patient care.
Do You Have What It Takes To Become A Certified Nurse Midwife? [Infographic]
Once the education requirements and the examination has been passed, you are a certified nurse-midwife, enjoying an average annual salary of $114,152. More importantly, you can start making an immediate impact on the lives of women, and their unborn babies. Every day in the life of a midwife is different; each patient and each birth are unique. If you long for a career that encourages close interaction with your patients, midwifery is for you.
Safe Staffing: Are You Part of the Problem or the Solution?
According to the American Nurses Association, one thing I can do is advocate for safe staffing. I will post a link below where you can take action to contribute to the solution. If you are contributing to the problem by taking unsafe number of patients, I suggest you do your homework. Find out how to report unsafe staffing, tell your charge nurse, manager, etc., that you are not comfortable taking on more than you can handle safely. Remember, it's your license to protect!
Nurses Can Thrive When They Are Given Ongoing Feedback
The practice of nursing is ever-changing. There are always new guidelines and regulations that nurses are asked to adhere to, often with little information to accompany it. Nurses sometimes feel like they are just surviving because they are being asked to take on new challenges and aren't completely sure of themselves. This is because many organizations will give out new job requirements without following up with the nursing staff and providing ongoing feedback.

9 Reasons Every Nurse Should Drive a Convertible
I can tell you now, that after exactly 6 months of ownership (most of those ironically in the winter months) that the car does in fact make me happy. But I can also tell you that I think cars like it, namely convertibles, have the ability to make any nurse happy. I especially think this is the case with nurses. But I don't just think happiness is the only reason that nurses should drive a convertible so I'll outline those in top 9 reasons nurses should drive a convertible below.

Foreign body:
"Before this I had never posed for a photo shoot other than for my passport. I'm 19, and, in my opinion, I look plenty inviting. So I wanted to do this for myself."
Beauty marked:
"I've never wanted to be a model. I'm a self-sufficient person—I don't think I'd like the lifestyle."
Near the bed, perhaps?

Enzymatic Therapy OsteoPrime Bone Health - 120 Tablets
Enzymatic Therapy Osteo Prime, formulated by Jonathan Wright, M.D., and Alan Gaby, M.D., provides a balanced combination of important nutrients to support and maintain healthy bones. Bone is active, living tissue. Healthy bones need various nutrients to preserve adequate mineral mass, maintain strong supporting structures, and promote repair functions.
Calcium is important-more than 99% of the body's calcium is found in the bones and teeth. But the body also needs vitamin D to properly use calcium and phosphorus. Magnesium activates enzymes that help form new calcium crystals. Vitamin K aids the osteocalcin production, the supporting structure on which calcium crystallizes in bone. Manganese aids bone mineralization and connective tissue synthesis. Studies show zinc, strontium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, silicon, copper, and boron also help form the connective structures in bone.
Enzymatic Therapy OsteoPrime contains superior ingredients, with 28 bone supportive nutrients, including 5 types of calcium, and key trace minerals not found in other products, which are targeted for the postmenopausal and menopausal woman.
OsteoPrime provides superior support:
Formulated by bone health experts
Why take this product?
Bone is living tissue and needs calcium and other important nutrients to support healthy bones and teeth, and support healthy bone density. You may not get enough of these ingredients through diet alone - a strong supplement can make a huge difference.
About Enzymatic Therapy
Enzymatic Therapy, Inc. is more than just a company - it's a pledge to you. Their people are dedicated to providing you with the best supplements available anywhere. Enzymatic Therapy is fortunate to have an excellent combination of leadership, knowledge, and innovative spirit that can keep all of their customers knowing "What Better Feels Like."
These sections will provide you with more insight into the people at Enzymatic Therapy who help shape the company and hopefully - your health - everyday.
Enzymatic Therapy and Social Responsibility
Enzymatic Therapy gives back to the community in more ways than you might guess. Below are just a few of the things we do as a company to help:
Statement of Corporate Social Responsibility
Enzymatic Therapy, Inc. embodies a commitment to diversity and inclusion in its workforce, its relations to customers, and its overall approach to business. In an increasingly globalized economy, meeting the needs of diverse customers in widespread markets requires a respect for and an embrace of difference in all its dimensions. The dimensions of diversity are far too numerous to recount completely, but include dimensions of age, gender, race, ethnicity, language, religion, physical ability, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, life experiences, training and credentials, skill sets, and intellectual perspectives, among other aspects.
While Enzymatic Therapy, Inc. and all its related stakeholders greatly value diversity and inclusion they are unwavering in requiring that all members of their company and their value chain embrace and practice their other core values of integrity, reliability, accountability, and achieving results, and their commitment to health in all of its dimensions – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, cultural, and communal. The company is equally committed to stewardship and sustainability in the service of positive financial, social, and environmental outcomes. This is what Enzymatic Therapy means by "What Better Feels Like!"
Enzymatic Therapy Joins the Green Bay Breast Cancer Awareness Walk Run
No one needs to face breast cancer alone and one day, hopefully, no one need face it at all.
Events like Green Bay Breast Cancer Awareness Walk Run help raise funds in support of American Cancer Society research, education, and advocacy. With a goal of $185,000.00 this event is just one of many that provide support and hope for thousands of people affected by breast cancer. The reality is it can be beaten and we can help make that happen.
For nearly five years, one of Enzymatic Therapy's very own, Tami Cornette, has been involved in the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Awareness Walk/Run. Always willing to support a good cause, Cornett helped organize a team for this year's event. Approximately 35 Enzymatic Therapy employees and family members were ready to lace their shoes up for a cure!
Jeans Week: Raising Money for Local, State, and National Charitable Organizations
At Enzymatic Therapy they know that lending a helping hand is one way to truly understand What Better Feels Like. Whether Enzymatic Therapy employees are raising money, volunteering their time and talent, or advocating for increased education, they are all dedicated to bettering the lives of those around them.
"Jeans Week" is just one initiative that Enzymatic Therapy has started to raise money for local, state, and national charitable organizations. For one designated week each month, employees can pay $5.00 to wear jeans every day. This money is then donated to a deserving charity. The more casual look has become quite popular among employees. While they enjoy feeling comfortable and relaxed, however, they like giving to good causes even more!
Bioavailability is a True Measure of Quality.
A supplement formulated to be bioavailable can be trusted to release the key components when and where they should. In short, your body will be able to absorb and utilize the nutrients in a bioavailable supplement for optimal results and consistent benefits. Bioavailable means pill to pill, bottle to bottle you can trust the supplement to deliver safe, effective results every time.
Science Behind the Supplements
Enzymatic Therapy has always been - and continues to be - a pioneer of science-based supplement development, and from the beginning, they embraced a pharmaceutical-minded commitment to quality.
Enzymatic Therapy's Commitment To You
Enzymatic Therapy believes in unrelenting laboratory testing and support of patented and well-researched products. They stay on the cutting edge by virtue of their participation in industry methods development. And they publish their research in scientific, peer-reviewed journals.
The results are a family of products whose efficacy is based on scientifically valid secondary research, or Enzymatic Therapy's own primary research.
Such efforts clearly outshine what is typical in an industry where little is required but so much is expected. Enzymatic Therapy has done the homework. Use their products with absolute confidence.
GMPs – They've Been There All Along
Over the past few years, the FDA mandated that supplement manufacturers must adopt new, Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). Enzymatic Therapy's response is: What took so long?
For a long time, most manufacturers simply followed Food GMPs. Not Enzymatic Therapy. They aim higher.
At Enzymatic Therapy, they've been following Pharmaceutical GMPs for years. In fact, they're the industry's first and only company to be a drug GMP audited manufacturing facility, and an organic certified processing facility. In 2009, they were also the first U.S nutritional supplement company to earn the Drug Good Maufacturing Practice certification from the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency.
Demanding more from supplement companies is a good thing, but Enzymatic Therapy has been taking it further for a long time. After all, Pharmaceutical GMPs are the toughest around.
That means they have Food and Dietary Supplement GMPs covered - and then some.
Tougher standards are nothing new for Enzymatic Therapy - they're just part of their mission to bring you the world finest supplements to let you know what better feels like, everyday.

Thanks for waiting so patiently - you'll be able to see the official visualizer for "Wolf Bite" tomorrow!
What if hypothetically speaking I wrote a song that needed background vocals and you all recorded yourselves singing along and sent me your audio files and then I mixed them into the actual song and then you could say you sang on the new OC record. Good idea or nah
The day is finally here. My new EP Ultraviolet is out NOW! I had a blast with this one and it was great to put the collaborations aside for a min. and let my mind run free for these songs. I truly hope you enjoy them, as I would not be here without your love & support.
Grab Ultraviolet on iTunes now at: http://smarturl.it/OwlCityUltravioletiT
Check VEVO tomorrow for the official music video for "Beautiful Times (featuring Lindsey Stirling)." In the meantime, check it out over at RollingStone.com!
Can't believe my new EP, Ultraviolet, hits tomorrow. Cannot.Contain.Excitement.
I see that the lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. No wonder my heart is glad, and my tongue shouts his praises! My body rests in hope. For you will not leave my soul among the dead or allow your Holy One to rot in the grave. You have shown me the way of life, and you will fill me with the joy of your presence. (Acts 2:25-28)
"In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
-Gospel of John 1:4-5
Basically this what I think the light that Adam Young was referring to in his song Beautiful Times.

JTM Games is Going To The Canadian Videogame Awards
Did you know that many of your favourite games are made in Canada? Games like Assassin's Creed Revelations, Dragon Age 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Need for Speed: The Run, and FIFA 12, were all developed and published in the great white north. These games, their publishers, and developers deserve to be recognized right?

Rep. Amash discusses looming government shutdown
Congressman Justin Amash
Patrick Center
September 30, 2013 | WGVU
"I'm not sure we'll have an agreement by midnight tonight."
While Cascade Township Republican, Rep. Justin Amash, doesn't sense a deal can be reached in time to avert a government shutdown, he's confident compromise can be reached in the days ahead.
"What seems different this time is that the President and Senate seem very insistent on not negotiating under any circumstances. We've sent over some changes and they've rejected every change. I would say from the House perspective, we're funding 99 percent of government, we want to negotiate on 1 percent of government, and we're not getting that negotiation."
And while there's no indication the Senate will budge when it comes to the Affordable Care Act, Rep. Amash maintains there should be compromise. He says the President already delayed the employer mandate one year and as a compromise individuals should receive the same one year Obama Care reprieve.

Fitness & Exercise
Wii Fit Rides the Virtual Exercise Wave
Calorie Burners
First came Dance, Dance Revolution, a video arcade game where wannabe dancers follow on-screen visual cues as they step on a sensor pad to the beat of popular tunes. Dance, Dance Revolution -- or DDR -- is sort of a twist on the classic board game Twister, replete with several levels to match a person's dancing skills.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) conducted a study of this game on 24 people aged 12 to 25. All participants showed a marked increase in exercise intensity and burned a similar number of calories as they would if they were participating in other forms of aerobic activity.
"We found that Dance, Dance Revolution does burn a comparable amount of calories as other aerobic workouts," says ACE spokesman Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist in San Diego.
Games like Dance, Dance Revoultion and Wii Fit System put the fun back in exercise, and that is what has been missing, he tells WebMD. "So many people became disengaged because exercise seems to be work and not a pleasant experience. [Virtual exercise] has touched on a cord that is important in fitness and that is to make things fun."
The mantra, Comana says, is "let's keep them distracted so they stay engaged and do their workouts and don't think about sweating." While there are some downsides to virtual fitness, the benefits do outweigh any negatives, he says.
One potential downside is that these games are really just Band-aids, he says. "If I distract you with television to tolerate a workout, what happens if there is nothing to distract you? If we take away the balance pad or the iPod, you will go back to saying, 'I hate this.'"
But "if it gets a family at home doing something, we'll take it," he says. That said, Wii Fit probably won't appeal to true fitness buffs. "We will do it to try it, but it will not be part of our daily training modality."
Wii Fit and the balance board retails for $89.99. It is now available exclusively at the Nintendo World Store. The system will be available at retail stores across the country on May 21.

Federation of International Canines (FIC) Registry
I purchased two Boxer pups over the weekend at the National Breeders Association in Middletown, NJ; and didn't realize they were registered through the Federation of International Canines (FIC) VS the AKC... I had discussed registration (AKC) with the salesperson, but she didn't mention it was not through AKC. I signed papers stating that I received application for FIC Registry, but thought I could still register through AKC. I have never heard of FIC Registry before, and am concerned.
I called AKC this morning, and was told that they are another registration for canines. Not necessarily better or worse, just have different guidelines to follow for application & registration. This could mean family history and bloodline information. FIC's may not go back as far as AKC... I haven't been able to reach anyone at FIC Registry yet, but have sent email.
Does anyone know about this organization, and do I need to be concerned about my Boxers being pure bred???
Also, I think we might have paid too much in reading the postings on this site, but Boxers here in New Jersey go around $1,000. I tried finding a personal breeder, but was not successful. They are adorable, and I couldn't choose between the two so - I made a deal from $1,000 per pup down to $800.00 for each pup, plus they gave me $100.00 store credit to purchase puppy supplies I would need to get started...
Is this ideal? More importantly, we were told they were purebreeds. This store is known to be reputable and sell pups registered through AKC and FIC - depending on who the breeder has registered through. Do we need to be concerned or am I over reacting? Should I choose to stud out my male Boxer in the future - would we be able to mate with an AKC registered Boxer (not that I am going to, but just curious as to the difference)?
I'll post their pics as soon as I get them developed and scanned.
Male is Fawn with black mask - white streak on his nose and Nike swoosh on his neck... Female is fawn with white flashing on back of her neck and white flashing on her nose/lip with one white sock.

Hi Charlotte. I'm sorry but have never heard of FIC. In my opinion, AKC registration doesn't mean anything. I have seen plenty of purebreds sold at a higher price because they had AKC papers and they turned out to be improper purebreds such as many faults, hereditary problems, mixes, and etc...
From reading your post, you should be concerned about this place you bought your pups instead of what organization they are registered with. It sounds like its a pet store. If you are not familiar with pet stores, do a search on pet store puppies and puppy mills.
But, the most important thing is your opinion and how you feel towards these pups. If you love them, then it doesn't matter if they are AKC or FIC, or the fact that they are from a pet store or a reputable breeder.
Maybe someone else here can give you a better understanding of FIC.

For information on varies registeries, please visit:
I would be concerned by where & the true type of breeder you purchased your puppies from. The National Breeders Association to me sounds like an organization for high-volumn breeders, in other words, commerical dog breeders = puppymills.
It is pretty common to find irresponsible breeders registering puppies with another registery because they have either been suspended from AKC or the parents are not registered with AKC themselves, so they register with a different registery, so they can still sell *registered* puppies.
I have even seen a Limited Registrated dog (which puppies from that dog can not be registered with AKC), take those AKC Limited Registration papers and get FULL registration with another registery. Its not uncommon for some of these *other* registeries to register anything......it doesn't even have to be a purebred.

The FIC looks to be a step above the CoKC (Continental Kennel Club) - they at least ask for pictures of the dog before they will register it, and they require one parent to be FIC registered. Still, Sabrina's concerns are valid - and I would also wonder about a breeder that sells its puppies to pet stores - they can't be doing much health testing, for the price the pet stores pay. The AKC doesn't have an official stand against breeders selling to pet stores (or brokers), I don't think, but all their information on being a responsible breeder talks about personally screening all puppy buyers - hard to do with a pet store puppy. The American Boxer Club does prohibit its members from selling to a pet store or broker.
Should I choose to stud out my male Boxer in the future - would we be able to mate with an AKC registered Boxer (not that I am going to, but just curious as to the difference)?
You can breed to whatever dog you want, AKC registered or not (Boxer or not!), but the puppies will not be able to be AKC registered.
The FIC does ask for 3 generations on the dogs when you register them, so you may get some information from them. And, if this is a breeder that was suspended from the AKC, some of the dogs will be AKC registered and then you can do more research into their pedigree.
Regardless, they're yours now, and undoubtedly adorable
Just enjoy them!

To everyone that responded to my FIC concerns
I truly appreciate all the input. I'm concerned now about where the place I purchased the Boxer pups from bought them from. They say they do not purchase from puppy mills or such - and only use certain breeders. They do not carry multitudes of puppies - only about 15 in all if I had to guess. Different breeds. Some are registered through AKC and some are through FIC - depending on the breeders registration preference. I would like to contact the breeders that are listed on my form, and talk to them further - I suppose I can legally do that... I would like to know why they are registered through FIC and not AKC - were they suspended from AKC??? I just want to be sure they have not been cross bred or "imbred"... I did some research on the store that I purchased them through prior to buying them, and they are very reputable around here. They've been in business a very long time and certainly are much cleaner than some of the other pet store's I've been to. I purchased a Chihuaha through a local puppy store and she is registered through AKC. I've never had any problems with her, though I've heard many negative things about the store I bought her from. They have a bad reputation and are known for buying from "puppy mills"...
Anyway - thanks for the information you've provided me. The pups are adorable (now named Allie - female and Buster - male). They appear to be in very good health and I'm taking them to my vet for a complete check over. I'm happy to have them, but frustrated that they're not registered through AKC. I honestly do not care where they are registered, but want to ensure they've had the proper screening and background check on family history/tree. It's important to go back at least 5 generations...
Thanks again!
