27-05-2012 14:04 Finally, I made it~ ;U; I've been trying to get this video right since two days ago, and I've found out I really don't fit to be on camera :C I tried more than 60 times. And it seemed I did something wrong. Every. Single. Time. I would either play wrong on the guitar, forget the lyrics or look like I didn't care at all. And if I kept away from all that. There was something wrong with the video itself. But. Even tho' I had to try 60+ times to get it right - in the end, I did it QvQ I just needed to get that out there :'3 But this is the re-upload of my first and until now only video. Because there was so much noise in the background in that one. So I hope you like it'n stuff~ o3o And just in case it's hard hearing what I sing, even with the better sound: I know that we're going through some serious shit, you and I And I really wish I could be with you 'till my cup was full and then You could be the dragon for a while And watch over me 'till I was strong again I don't mind the times you kept me awake all night In fact I've never minded anything you do I hope I'll never lose you, 'cause I think that that Would leave a way too big hole in my life You know you don't have to thank me, 'cause I really don't mind at all I mean, with you I can be myself again Also, I don't mind you being The dragon from time to time After all, like you, I'm not invincible In our friendship there is more than just that I love you in a way only a true friend can love their friend I'll do whatever I ...

Being presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal was the last thing Rainy River First Nations elder Dorothy Medicine expected while attending the 42nd-annual Manitou Fish Fry on Friday. I was very surprised, said Medicine after being given the medal by local MP John Rafferty at the Rainy River First Nations pow-wow grounds.

New medical school creates more opportunities: Heng Swee Keat
Singapore's third medical school held a ground-breaking ceremony for its two campuses on Monday afternoon. Due to start class next August, the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine will have one campus at Mandalay Road near Tan Tock Seng Hospital and another in the Nanyang Technological University's (NTU) biomedical-engineering cluster.

Singapore's 3rd medical school holds ground-breaking ceremony
JERUSALEM Israeli medical student Mohammad Hijazi seems the ideal candidate to alleviate the country's looming doctor shortage.
He graduated first in his high school class, scored in the top 5% of Israel's version of the SAT and rounded out his resume by founding a grass-roots organization that encourages blood donation.
"And it works," said Hijazi, 25, who is now pursuing a medical degree in Poland.
High enrollment in medical schools has long been a rare success story for Israel's 1.6 million Arab Israelis, who complain of discrimination by the government in many spheres of their lives.
Nationwide, an estimated 19% of medical school students are Arab, according to a 2009 parliamentary study. The ratio is in line with Israel's Arab population, which is about 20%, and is impressive considering Arabs account for just 9% of the total number of university students and about 6% of government employees.
Arab activists say the rising number of Arabs in medical schools over the last two decades has alarmed Israeli officials and led to an effort to restrict enrollment.
For the last six years, most medical school programs have required that applicants be at least 20. School officials say the rule was adopted to ensure a greater maturity among applicants. Critics, however, say it chiefly affects Arabs because most Jewish students begin college after a compulsory two- or three-year stint in the military; most Arabs don't serve in the military.
Rather than wait two years after graduating from high school to begin their studies, many Arab Israeli students opt to enroll in colleges in the West Bank or abroad, or choose a different field of study. (Unlike in the U.S., doctor-training programs in Israel begin at the undergraduate level.)
"The rule has the effect of discouraging Arabs from enrolling in medical schools," said attorney Sawsan Zaher of Adalah, an Israeli group that works against discrimination of Arabs.
Medical school officials dispute that assertion.

The Caterpillar got down off the mushroom and crawled away in the grass, remarking as it went, 'One side will make you grow taller, and the other side will make you grow shorter.' -Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll
UCLA geneticists have identified the mutation responsible for IMAGe syndrome, a rare disorder that stunts infants' growth. The twist? The mutation occurs on the same gene that causes Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, which makes cells grow too fast, leading to very large children.
Published in the May 27 edition of Nature Genetics, the UCLA findings could lead to new ways of blocking the rapid cell division that allows tumors to grow unchecked. The discovery also offers a new tool for diagnosing children with IMAGe syndrome, which until now has been difficult to accurately identify.
The discovery holds special significance for principal investigator Dr. Eric Vilain, a professor of human genetics, pediatrics and urology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
Nearly 20 years ago, as a medical resident in his native France, Vilain cared for two boys, ages 3 and 6, who were dramatically short for their ages. Though unrelated, both children shared a mysterious malady marked by minimal fetal development, stunted bone growth, sluggish adrenal glands, and undersized organs and genitals.
"I never found a reason to explain these patients' unusual set of symptoms," explained Vilain, who is also director of the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics. "I've been searching for the cause of their disease since 1993."
When Vilain joined UCLA as a genetics fellow, the two cases continued to intrigue him. His mentor, then UCLA geneticist Dr. Edward McCabe, recalled a similar case from his previous post at Baylor College of Medicine. The two of them obtained blood samples from the three cases and analyzed the patients' DNA for mutations in suspect genes, but uncovered nothing.
Vilain and McCabe approached the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, and in 1999 published the first description of the syndrome, which they dubbed IMAGe, an acronym of sorts for the condition's symptoms: intrauterine growth restriction, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia and genital anomalies.

27-05-2012 01:06 " People trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health. But when this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust, medical care becomes a nightmare. The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession.

If you think MRI tests are expensive, try buying a magnetic resonance imaging machine. Some health care providers invest millions in technology to help diagnose patients. To offset that cost, they try to keep the machines' schedules as full as possible.

One of the main criticisms of consumer-driven health care is that, today, consumers have no way of figuring out how much a particular health care service costs. Indeed, one of the reasons that health care is so expensive in America is because people have no idea what they're paying for it. Hence, it's important for reformers to encourage hospitals and doctors to become more transparent about the ...

WASHINGTON - California could gain up to 100,000 jobs and $4.4 billion in economic spillover if the Supreme Court upholds the Obama health care plan next month, according to a new report.
The Bay Area Council Economic Institute estimates that Southern California has the most to gain. The reform could add up to 65,000 jobs and more than $3 billion to the region's economy, three-quarters of the state's total.
Had the health care law taken full effect in 2010, the report says that California's economy - helped by federal and state subsidies - would have received a $6.7 billion boost from new spending on doctors, hospitals, medical device manufacturers and the hiring of additional employees "who will then spend more money on food, clothing, and shelter, among other things."
The boost far outweighs the economic cost of requiring more employers to pay for their workers' insurance, according to the report.
In addition, the report concludes that many consumers - particularly in the more affluent parts of the state - would have more disposable income as the result of lower insurance premiums.
A healthier population would also take a more active part in the labor market and miss fewer days for sickness.
The findings add fodder to those who argue that the law will have a positive effect on the economy.
Most of the debate over the Affordable Health Care Act has focused on its mandate that everyone buy insurance and its ban
The report seeks to break down the law's overall economic impact on California and suggests that it would serve as a large stimulus. The study was conducted by the Bay Area Council, a business-sponsored, public policy advocacy organization based in San Francisco.
"It is important to emphasize that the Affordable Care Act was not designed to be an economic stimulus bill ... and the fact that the law also will have a significant positive economic impact is a strong corollary benefit to a policy change designed to achieve other ends," the report says.

Report: Southland stands to gain thousands of jobs under Obamacare
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/svr28k/role_of_wireless_i) has announced the addition of the "Role of Wireless ICT in Health Care and Wellness" report to their offering.
This report concentrates on recent contributions of wireless communications in health care and fitness to enhance the quality of service together with the significant cost reduction.
The health care cost is rising each year, and in the U.S. reached around 16%-17% of the GDP with the trend to add at least one percent each year. Wide utilization of wireless communications, as our analysis showed, can reduce the health care cost by billions of dollars on an annual basis. Much of that savings is derived by reducing hospitalizations and extending independent living for seniors.
Ambient Intelligence is a vision where environment becomes smart, friendly, context-aware and responsive to any type of human needs. In such a world, computing and networking technology coexist with people in a ubiquitous, friendly and pervasive way. Numerous miniature and interconnected smart devices create a new intelligence and interact with each other seamlessly. For health care, this translates into proliferation of remote monitoring and telemedicine.
The report addresses recent advances of wireless technologies in medical/fitness applications. Particular, it analyzes the following:
- WICT standardization for the Body Area Network (WBAN) and Medical Body Area Network (WMBAN).
- Bluetooth technology and its Medical Profile
- ZigBee technology and its Medical Profile
- Wi-Fi low-power consumption technology

Rumour: Facebook looking to acquire Opera Linked by Thom Holwerda on 05/25/12 19:09 UTC Pocket-lint has a rumour up that Facebook is interested in acquiring Opera to kickstart their own move into the browser market, to compete with Mozilla, Google, and Microsoft. While it would mean much-deserved recognition for Opera, I actually hope such a deal does not go through - for entirely selfish reasons. 3Read More 64 Comment(s) Google details copyright removals in search Linked by Thom Holwerda on 05/24/12 22:34 UTC Google has released a treasure trove of data about takedown requests regarding possible copyright violations. What may surprise some - but is actually kind of logical if you think about it - is that most requests, by far, come from Microsoft. You'll be surprised about the total amount of requests, and looking at some of them in more detail, it becomes obvious just how much certain organisations would abuse takedown power if they had it. 8Read More 12 Comment(s) Google CEO Larry Page on Charlie Rose Linked by Thom Holwerda on 05/23/12 16:13 UTC Google CEO Larry Page was interviewed on Charlie Rose recently, and there was certainly some interesting stuff in there. Sadly, the interview suffers from the curse of modern journalism in that it was all a bit timid and civil (no truly harsh and confronting questions), but despite that, it's still a good watch. Two quotes from Page really stood out to me. 3Read More 39 Comment(s) Visual Studio 11 Express editions Metro-only Linked by Thom Holwerda on 05/21/12 20:03 UTC For Microsoft, the traditional desktop is old news. It's on its way out, it's legacy, and the harder they claim the desktop has equal rights, the sillier it becomes. With companies, words are meaningless, it's actions that matter, and here Microsoft's actions tell the real story. The company has announced the product line-up for Visual Studio 11, and the free Express can no longer be used to create desktop applications. Message is clear. 5Read More 158 Comment(s) Smartphones Reignite the OS Wars Linked by Howard Fosdick on 05/19/12 8:59 UTC Smartphones have become the preferred computer of the masses. Sales surpassed those of personal computers in 2010, having grown over 50% per year for several years. Nearly 500 million smartphones shipped in 2011. This radically shifts the terrain in the consumer operating system competition that was, for years, firmly decided in favor of Windows.

Terry Gou, chairman of Foxconn, has confirmed his company will be building a television for Apple in conjunction with Sharp.

Microsoft's next big operating system release restricts access to certain APIs and technologies browsers need - only making them available to Internet Explorer. Looking at the facts, it would seem Mozilla and Google have a solid case - coincidentally, the responses on the web are proof of the slippery slope we're on regarding ownership over our own machines. 13Read More 90 Comment(s) AT&T, Google duke it out over who causes Android upgrade delays Linked by Thom Holwerda on 05/08/12 17:55 UTC This is fun.

SAN ANDREAS - Aerospace Corp. representatives are considering construction of a high-speed communications system in Calaveras County that could help during emergencies and boost economic development.
The idea is to provide cheap broadband to remote areas.
Clay Hawkins, the county's chief assistant administrative officer, and Supervisor Steve Wilensky said they have had two meetings with representatives of Aerospace.
They said if the project happens, it might be funded by a U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant.
"There's no cost involved" to Calaveras, Hawkins said.
He said Aerospace is interested in Calaveras because it could provide a test case for how improved communications could boost economic growth in a depressed rural area.
Aerospace is best known for building spacecraft and spy satellites. But as funding for military machinery and space exploration shrinks, the corporation is looking for ways to use its expertise on Earth, Wilensky said. He said the Aerospace representatives also have local ties.
"One of them lives in District 2," Wilensky said, referring to the area he represents, which includes Mountain Ranch, West Point and Mokelumne Hill.
Wilensky and Hawkins did not name the Aerospace representatives.
