The fledgling Google Glass is slowly working its way into the mainstream, and one place that people should get used to seeing the device is in hospitals.

Several medical institutions have already been testing the computer-enabled eyeglasses to see if the devices enhance doctors' work. But the School of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, is taking it one step further by issuing Google Glass to its students.

Irvine will be the first medical school to fully incorporate Glass into its four-year curriculum. Its first- and second-year students will use the device in their anatomy and clinical skills courses, while third- and fourth-year students will wear Glass during their hospital rotations.

While the general public appears to still be making up its mind about the idea of wearing a face computer, some fields of work see the wearable as a helpful asset. For medicine, doctors won't have to use their hands to dig through files, search computers, or look up facts on a tablet. With a simple nod of the head or blink of the eye, they could get all of the real-time information they need without having to leave a patient's side.

Besides UC Irvine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston has also been testing Glass with its emergency-room doctors. The center found that the wearable has proved helpful with getting summarized information to doctors as they're speaking with and examining patients.

UC Irvine has also found Glass helpful in the pilot tests it has conducted in operating rooms, intensive-care units, and the emergency department.

"Medical education has always been very visual and very demonstrative, and Glass has enormous potential to positively impact the way we can educate physicians in real time," said Dr. Warren Wiechmann, UC Irvine's assistant clinical professor of emergency medicine and associate dean of instructional technologies. "Indeed, all of medicine is based on 'seeing,' not 'reading,' the patient."

Why Warren Buffett Really Likes Malone's Liberty Global

Posted on by

NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Warren Buffett's investing lieutenants, Ted Weschler and Todd Combs, appear increasingly enthusiastic aboutLiberty Global (LBTYA) after boosting Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) investment in John Malone's European cable company in the first quarter.

Liberty Global has recently caught the eye of prominent hedge fund investors, who view the John Malone-founded company as way to profit from trends in the U.S. broadband and wireless market.

Some hedge funds expect that consolidation efforts currently underway in the wireless and cable market in the U.S. will move across the Atlantic to Europe. They see Liberty Global as a prime takeover target for large telecom conglomerates such as Comcast (CMCSA), AT&T (T) and Vodafone (VOD). Meanwhile, Malone has emerged as a careful steward of Liberty Global's purse strings and may have expanded smartly in European cable and broadband markets just ahead of a surge in user activity.

In February, Berkshire disclosed it had built a nearly 3 million share stake in Liberty Global's Class A shares worth just under $300 million. That disclosure, made in a fourth quarter filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was seen as a bet made by Berkshire Hathaway's up-and-coming investing guru's Ted Weschler and Todd Combs.

Oakville Libertarian candidate David Clement offering 'different kind of perspective'

Posted on by

Oakville Beaver

David Clement, the Oakville Libertarian candidate in the upcoming June 12 provincial election, is disenchanted by what has become of Ontario's political system.

The 24-year-old Oakville native says the province's economic and social problems stem from the government simply standing in the way.

"Jobs, health care, education and energy are far too important to be left solely in the hands of the government," said the White Oaks Secondary School graduate, who works as a research assistant to the Canadian Research Chair in International Human Rights.

He said he's running to offer residents a different kind of perspective on what the effective role of government can be.

"In my opinion, if you look at all three big political parties, all three of them are far too involved in the lives of Ontario residents and so I'm looking to limit that involvement and remove government from the areas and aspects of life where it's not necessarily needed," said Clement, who holds both an Honours Bachelor of Arts in political science and a Masters Degree in political science from Wilfrid Laurier University.

Citing the gas plant cancellations in Oakville and Mississauga, as an example, he said energy production and the decisions on where plants are located shouldn't be made "arbitrarily" by politicians.

"That's something that should be decided by consumer wants and decided by the market, so to say," he said, adding the Libertarian platform is to change the relationship between government and energy providers.

Clement said he believes Oakville residents were unhappy because the location was a poor choice and the reversal of that decision cost taxpayers more than $1 billion.

He said energy providers should be left to operate like any other business where consumer wants and needs are taken into consideration.
