Detecting cancer could be as easy as popping a pill in the near future. Google's head of life sciences, Andrew Conrad, took to the stage at the Wall Street Journal Digital conference to reveal that the tech giant's secretive Google[x] lab has been working on a wearable device that couples with nanotechnology to detect disease within the body.
"We're passionate about switching from reactive to proactive and we're trying to provide the tools that make that feasible," explained Conrad. This is a third project in a series of health initiatives for Google[x]. The team has already developed a smart contact lens that detects glucose levels for diabetics and utensils that help manage hand tremors in Parkinson's patients.
The plan is to test whether tiny particles coated "magnetized" with antibodies can catch disease in its nascent stages. The tiny particles are essentially programmed to spread throughout the body via pill and then latch on to the abnormal cells. The wearable device then "calls" the nanoparticles back to ask them what's going on with the body and to find out if the person who swallowed the pill has cancer or other diseases.
"Think of it as sort of like a mini self-driving car," Conrad simplified with a clear reference to Google[x]'s vehicular project. "We can make it park where we want it to." Conrad went on with the car theme, saying the body is more important than a car and comparing our present healthcare system as something that basically only tries to change our oil after we've broken down. "We wouldn't do that with a car," he added.
Bikanta's tiny diamonds luminesce cells in the body.
Similar to Y Combinator-backed Bikanta, the cells can also fluoresce with certain materials within the nanoparticles, helping cancer cells to show up on an MRI scan much earlier than has been possible before.
This has all sorts of implications in medicine. According to a separately released statement from Google today, "Maybe there could be a test for the enzymes given off by arterial plaques that are about to rupture and cause a heart attack or stroke. Perhaps someone could develop a diagnostic for post-surgery or post-chemo cancer patients – that's a lot of anxious people right there (note: we'd leave this 'product development' work to companies we'd license the tech to; they'd develop specific diagnostics and test them for efficacy and safety in clinical trials."
We essentially wouldn't need to go into the doctor and give urine and blood samples anymore. According to Conrad, we'd simply swallow a pill and monitor for disease on a daily basis. We'd also be able to upload that data into the cloud and send it to our doctor. "So your doctor could say well for 312 days of this year everything looks good but these past couple of months we're detecting disease," Conrad said.
Privacy and security, particularly in health care is essential. Google came under fire in the last couple of years for handing over information to the U.S. government. Conrad was quick to mention that a partner, not Google would be handling individual data. "It'd be like saying GE is in control of your x-ray. We are the creators of the tech and they are the disseminators," Conrad clarified.
The U.S. government has an active interest in this space, as well. It's invested over $20 billion in nanotechnology research since 2013.
This project is in the exploratory phases but Conrad was hopeful that we'd be seeing this technology in the hands of every doctor within the next decade. He also mentioned that his team has explored ways of not just detecting abnormal cells but also delivering medicine at the same time. "That's certainly been discussed," he said, but cautioned that this was something that needed to be carefully developed so that the nanoparticles had a chance to show what was happening in the body before destroying the cells.
So far 100 Google employees with expertise in astrophysics, chemistry and electrical engineering have taken part in the nanoparticle project. "We're trying to stave off death by preventing disease. Our foe is unnecessary death," Conrad added.

When Jackson Small began having seizures at 7, his parents hoped and assumed at least one of the many epilepsy drugs on the market would be enough to get things under control. But one seizure quickly spiraled to as many as 30 a day.
"He would stop in his tracks and not be aware of what was going on for 20 or 30 seconds or so," his mother Shana Small told CBS News. Jackson was eventually diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, a type of epilepsy characterized by brief but often frequent muscle jerking or twitching.
But a number of medications typically prescribed to patients with this type of epilepsy were not effective. And so the quest to help Jackson gain control over his seizures led the family from their home in Orlando, Florida, to the office of a registered dietician at the NYU Langone Comprehensive Epilepsy Center in New York City.
They were there to discuss the medical benefits of heavy cream, mayonnaise, eggs, sausage, bacon and butter.
A lot of butter.
The plan was to treat Jackson with a diet that is heavy in fat, low in protein and includes almost no carbohydrates. It's known as the ketogenic diet and has long been in the arsenal of last-resort options for patients with epilepsy who are unresponsive to medication. Doctors may recommend a patient go on this special diet after unsuccessfully trying two or three prescriptions.
The diet works by putting the body in a "fasting" state, known as ketosis. "When we're fasting the body needs to find fuel so our body will break down fat storage and break down their own fat and enter a state of ketosis," Courtney Glick, the registered dietician who coordinated and fine-tuned Jackson's diet plan, told CBS News. "But with this diet, instead of breaking down the body's fat, the body breaks down dietary fat."
The ketogenic diet consists of as much as 90 percent fat. Some patients who feel they can't make such an extreme change adopt a modified Atkins diet, which is between 65 and 70 percent fat. It can be nearly as effective for controlling seizures, though every patient is different.
Though experts don't know everything about why this diet is effective for seizure control, they do know that eating mostly fat causes the body to fuel on ketones rather than glucose, which ultimately lowers insulin levels. This can have an anti-inflammatory effect on the body and may prevent seizures by calming the brain, said Glick.
One study by researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School found that a child's ability to stave off seizures is tied to a protein that affects metabolism in the brain. The protein, called BCL-2-associated Agonist of Cell Death, or BAD, also regulates metabolism of glucose. The researchers discovered that by modifying this, they switched metabolism in brain cells from glucose to ketone bodies, which are fat byproducts.
Glick said the diet plan didn't work for Jackson until he tried the most strict version, which was a 4 to 1 ratio of fat to protein and carbohydrates. Each day, he ate approximately 160 grams of fat, 8 to 10 grams of carbohydrates and 30 grams of protein, all of which amounted to about 1,700 calories a day.
Four months into the program, Jackson was seizure-free. He remained on the strict diet for two years with no return of seizures. His mother prepared foods from special recipes such as "keto" pizza made with a macadamia nut crust or chicken nuggets with coconut flour.
Over the summer -- after receiving a green light from his doctors -- Jackson, now 10 years old, began to wean himself off the diet, and his mother has slowly introduced foods such as breads and ice cream. He has maintained seizure-free and takes very little anti-seizure medication.
Research has found that for pediatric patients the anti-seizure effects of the diet often continue long after the child stops following the food plan, though the reason why remains unclear. This is typically not the case for adults, who may need to stay on the diet for life in order to control seizures.
"We've probably seen more kids go on the diets than adults, and adults are really set on their eating patterns," said Glick, adding that social obligations can make the diet difficult to fit into a grown person's lifestyle.
Jackson's mother said his doctors are hopeful that in the near future he may no longer need medication -- or a keto diet -- to stay seizure-free. "I think it's taught him a very important lesson about how food is as important as medicine, and how food affects the chemistry of your body," she said.

A new report finds that by 2100, there will be more people alive on the planet than has ever previously been predicted. We investigate what the consequences these extra bodies may have for maintaining public health.
The potentially catastrophic consequences of an exponentially growing global population is a favorite subject for writers of dystopian fiction.
The most recent example, Utopia - a forthcoming David Fincher-directed series for HBO - won critical acclaim in its original incarnation on UK television for its depiction of a conspiracy-laden modern world where the real threat to public health is not Ebola or other headline-friendly communicable viruses, but overpopulation.
Fears over the ever-expanding number of human bodies on our planet are not new and have been debated by researchers and policy makers for decades, if not centuries. However, recent research by University of Washington demographer Prof. Adrian Raftery - using modern statistical modeling and the latest data on population, fertility and mortality - has found that previous projections on population growth may have been conservative.
"Our new projections are probabilistic, and we find that there will probably be between 9.6 and 12.3 billion people in 2100," Prof. Raftery told Medical News Today. "This projection is based on a statistical model that uses all available past data on fertility and mortality from all countries in a systematic way, unlike previous projections that were based on expert assumptions."
Prof. Raftery's figure places up to an additional 5 billion people more on the Earth by 2100 than have been previously calculated.
A key finding of the study is that the fertility rate in Africa is declining much more slowly than has been previously estimated, which Prof. Raftery tells us "has major long-term implications for population."
A 2003 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report found that, in sub-Saharan Africa, both fertility and mortality rates were high, with the proportion of people aged over 65 expected to remain small, increasing from an estimated 2.9% in 2000 to 3.7% in 2030.
The CDC report notes that fertility rates declined in developing countries during the preceding 30 years, following a 20th century trend among developed countries. The pattern established by developed countries - and presumed to follow in developing countries - was that countries shift from high fertility and high mortality rates to low fertility and delayed mortality.
This transition starts with declining infant and childhood mortality as a result of improved public health measures. Improvements in infant and childhood mortality contribute to longer life expectancy and a younger population.
This trend of adults living longer, healthier lives is typically followed by a decline in fertility rates. The CDC report suggested that by 2030, there would be similar proportions of younger and older people in developing countries, by that point mirroring the age distribution in developed countries circa 1990.
Prof. Raftery's research, however, notes that in Nigeria - Africa's most populous country - each woman has an average of six children, and in the last 5 years, the child mortality rate has fallen from 136 per 1,000 live births to 117. This works out as a population increase of 20 people per square mile over the same timespan.
But what does this mean for countries where the public health system is already stretched to breaking point - as has been demonstrated by the recent Ebola epidemic?
"Rapid population growth is likely to increase the burden on the public health service proportionally," answered Prof. Raftery.
"There are already big public health needs and challenges in high-fertility countries, and rapid population growth will make it even harder to meet them." However, if the fertility rate declines faster, Prof. Raftery suggests that high-fertility countries can reap "a demographic dividend."
He explained:
"This is a period of about a generation during which the number of dependents (children and old people) is small. This frees up resources for public health, education, infrastructure and environmental protection, and can make it easier for the economy to grow. This can happen even while the population is still increasing."
"This is a period of about a generation during which the number of dependents (children and old people) is small. This frees up resources for public health, education, infrastructure and environmental protection, and can make it easier for the economy to grow. This can happen even while the population is still increasing."
Does this suggest that an increasing population is not quite as much of a threat, but that it is more specifically the accelerations and decelerations in fertility rates that provide warning signs to future public health crises?
"Following a long run of an increasing human population growth rate, over the past half century the rate has been halved from about 2% to about 1%," Darryl Holman, professor of biological anthropology at the University of Washington, explained to MNT.
"The turnaround is quite remarkable," he said. "But as long as the growth rate remains positive, our species will eventually reach numbers and densities where technological solutions cannot ameliorate resource scarcity."
High population density leads to a much higher rate of contact between humans, which means that communicable diseases - ranging from the common cold to Dengue fever - can be much more easily transmitted.
And more people means greater efforts are needed to control waste management and provide clean water. If these needs cannot be adequately met, then diarrheal diseases become much more common, resulting in what Prof. Holman described to the University of Washington's news website The Daily UW as a "huge, huge, huge difference in mortality rates."
Taking a more general view, "the anticipated increase in the number of older persons will have dramatic consequences for public health, the health care financing and delivery systems, informal caregiving, and pension systems," wrote the authors of the CDC's 2003 report.
"Can we assume that life on earth as we know it can continue no matter what the environmental conditions?," asked the authors of a 2001 Johns Hopkins School of Public Health report on the health consequences of population growth.
The Johns Hopkins report quoted figures demonstrating that unclean water and poor sanitation kill over 12 million people every year, while air pollution kills 3 million. In 64 of 105 developing countries, population has grown faster than food supplies.
By 2025, the report claimed, humankind could be using over 90% of all available freshwater, leaving just 10% for the world's plants and animals.
Prof. Holman summarizes the writings of experts Joel Cohen, E.O. Wilson, Paul Ehrlich and Ronald Lee, who have argued that the consequences of long-term environmental degradation - "specifically rising sea levels, disruption of agriculture and the increased frequency of extreme weather events resulting from anthropogenic climate change, exacerbated by resource scarcity" - create social problems that lead to social unrest.
With more people living together than ever before, it seems inevitable that this compounded social unrest would lead to increased warfare and fighting for resources.
According to the Johns Hopkins researchers, about half of the world's population currently occupies a coastal strip 200 kilometers wide - which means that 50% of us are squeezed together on just 10% of the world's land surface.
The projected flooding of these coastal regions as a result of global warming and rising sea levels could displace millions of people, result in widespread droughts and disrupt agriculture.
The Johns Hopkins team identified two main courses of action to divert these potential disasters.
Firstly - sustainable development. The report authors argued this should include:
The second vital area of action is the stabilization of population through good-quality family planning, which "would buy time to protect natural resources."
Commenting on Prof. Raftery's finding that we may be welcoming an additional 5 billion individuals onto the planet by 2100 than had previously been estimated - a potential global population of 12.3 billion people - Prof. Holman admits that "it is difficult to know what the public health effects will be."
He explains:
"By then, we may see severe petroleum and fresh water resource shortages, climate changes that affect agriculture patterns that, in turn, affect food supplies. Reducing fertility in socially and morally acceptable ways seems like one public health strategy to avoid - or at least postpone - testing some of these limits."
"By then, we may see severe petroleum and fresh water resource shortages, climate changes that affect agriculture patterns that, in turn, affect food supplies. Reducing fertility in socially and morally acceptable ways seems like one public health strategy to avoid - or at least postpone - testing some of these limits."
In Utopia, a sinister governmental organization proposes to sterilize a large percentage of the population by rolling out a secretly modified vaccine in response to a manufactured flu pandemic. Obviously, that is not a socially or morally acceptable strategy for reducing fertility - but what is?
Experts consider boosting the education of girls in developing countries to be a prime solution.
As well as acquiring more control over their reproductive life, an educated female workforce should have more opportunities of employment and of earning a living wage. Studies report that the children of educated women also have better chances of survival and will become educated themselves. This pattern continuing across generations is associated with a decline in fertility rates.
A 2011 article by the Earth Policy Institute (EPI), analyzing data from the United Nations (UN), states that "countries in which more children are enrolled in school - even at the primary level - tend to have strikingly lower fertility rates."
In particular:
"Female education is especially important. Research consistently shows that women who are empowered through education tend to have fewer children and have them later. If and when they do become mothers, they tend to be healthier and raise healthier children, who then also stay in school longer. They earn more money with which to support their families, and contribute more to their communities' economic growth. Indeed, educating girls can transform whole communities."

They earn more money with which to support their families, and contribute more to their communities' economic growth. Indeed, educating girls can transform whole communities."
The relationship between education, fertility and national poverty is a direct one. As the EPI authors add: "When mortality rates decline quickly but fertility rates fail to follow, countries can find it harder to reduce poverty."
The UN's 2012 Revision of the world population prospects report suggested if we make rapid reductions in family size, then it may still be possible to constrain the global population to 8 billion by 2045.
No projections are set in stone - all are contingent on what extent fertility rates will sway over the next century. And, as Prof. Holman pointed out to us, the nature of the threat posed by overpopulation has "been vigorously debated for over 200 years" with experts still not in complete accord.
For instance, in the 1980s, said Prof. Holman, the economist Julian Simon and ecologist Paul Ehrlich went on tour together, with a series of debates about the consequences of population growth.
"Ehrlich argued that continued population growth would lead to disaster for humans. Simon argued that population growth provided more people to invent new solutions to the problems confronting humans," said Prof. Holman, adding:
"Given the trends to this point, Simon has been 'more right.' One simple measure of this is mortality rates, which have decreased for most human groups. The flaw in Simon's argument may well be that we have never hit the limits of our finite earth. Positive population growth guarantees that we will, someday, hit some hard limits."
"So that," Prof. Holman concluded, "is the long term."

October's shorter, darker days can trigger a type of depression, known as seasonal affective disorder, according to an expert.
People affected by seasonal affective disorder, also called SAD, may feel overly tired, lack motivation and even have trouble getting out of bed. In extreme cases, SAD can lead to suicide, said Dr. Angelos Halaris, a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Loyola University Chicago Stitch School of Medicine.
"Seasonal affective disorder should not be taken lightly," Halaris said in a hospital news release.
Seasonal affective disorder affects up to 5 percent of the population, Halaris said. It's linked to a reduction in light exposure from shorter days and gray skies, which is thought to cause a chemical imbalance in the brain.
SAD season starts in October and lasts until the middle of April. Until then, there are ways to reduce your risk for the condition, advised Halaris. He said the following strategies might help:

When Paula Radcliffe won the New York City Marathon in 2007, nine months after giving birth to a daughter, Isla, Radcliffe was considered an anomaly. Her intense training through her pregnancy, which included twice-a-day sessions and grueling hill workouts, was scrutinized and criticized.
Seven years later, maintaining a top running career and a family has become relatively common. About a third of the women in the professional field of 31 for the New York City Marathon next Sunday have children.
"I watched Paula win New York, basically leading from the starting gun to the finish tape, and afterward she picked up her baby," said Kara Goucher, a top American marathoner. "I realized I can do both. And I want to do both."
Goucher, 36, finished third in the 2008 New York City Marathon, and this year she will run the New York race for the first time with her 4-year-old son, Colt, cheering her on.
When she contemplated having a child, Goucher engaged in the careful strategizing common to elite female athletes, who consider precisely when to become pregnant so as not to risk missing out on an Olympic medal or sacrificing a corporate sponsorship.
Elite female distance runners now run competitive times well into their late 30s. The average age of a top female marathoner is 30, and 19 women in next Sunday's professional field are that age or older.
As athletic peaks for these top runners have overtaken fertility peaks, the decision to combine motherhood and training has become increasingly unavoidable. Competitive careers are stretching: The American Deena Kastor, expected to be another top finisher next Sunday, is 41.
"I always wanted to have a child," Goucher said, "and I didn't want to wait until I was done, because I don't really see an end date on my career. I wanted more in my life than just running. But the details of how you do that can get incredibly complicated."
Elite runners often try to squeeze in a pregnancy and recovery in the 16-month window between world track championships in years with no Summer Olympics. This is one such year, and pregnancies abound.
Maternity leave in professional running is rare. A pregnancy is still frequently treated as if it were an injury, and women can experience a pay cut or not be paid at all if they do not compete for six months. During that period, they often remain bound to sponsors in exclusive contracts that can last upward of six years. Because the athletes are independent contractors, they are not covered by laws that protect employed women in pregnancy.
Lauren Fleshman, an N.C.A.A. 5,000-meter champion and a professional runner, switched to a women's-oriented sponsor, the running apparel company Oiselle, before having a son in June 2013.
Referring to Goucher and Radcliffe, Fleshman said: "Kara and Paula showed that pregnancy doesn't necessarily need to be an impediment to the athletic part of our careers, and blew up the vestiges of the myth of the 'fragile woman' who can't be both a top athlete and a mother. But in terms of your career, there's still the feeling that if you say you want to have a kid, you're saying you don't want to be an athlete."
It does not help that so many people seem to have an opinion on the matter. After Alysia Montaño, a 2012 Olympian, ran an 800-meter race in June during her eighth month of pregnancy, her decision became the subject of intense public scrutiny.
"I wanted to help clear up the stigma around women exercising during pregnancy, which baffled me," Montaño said. "People sometimes act like being pregnant is a nine-month death sentence, like you should lie in bed all day. I wanted to be an example for women starting a family while continuing a career, whatever that might be. I was still surprised by how many people paid attention."
Montaño's daughter was born in August.
"Giving birth is a very athletic activity, like going through intervals on the track," Montaño said. "Like contractions, intervals can start out easy and progress as they get harder. There's sometimes a point where you wonder, 'Can I do one more set?' But you know you're going to make it. And then you kick to the finish."
Other women have chosen different paths.
Clara Horowitz Peterson, a former top runner at Duke, focused on starting a family in her mid-20s, aiming for a racing peak afterward. Now 30, she is pregnant with her fourth child.
"I think if I'd chosen to train at altitude and log 120-mile weeks, I could have made it to the Olympics," said Peterson, who typically runs 80 to 90 miles a week when not pregnant. "But that comes with sacrifices; you put your career first, and before you know it, you're 28, maybe confronting fertility issues. I always felt like having children was more important to me than a running career."
Still, Peterson ran right up until the births of her first three children. She qualified for the 2012 United States Olympic marathon trials just four months after delivering her second child, and she logged a 2-hour-35-minute time at the race four months later.
"I trained hard through that pregnancy," Peterson said. "You can tell when you're pushing it. You get twingy, or feel tendons pulling, so I backed off when that happened."
To bounce back for the trials, Peterson said, she breast-fed her second child for only five weeks — finding that the hormones related to breast-feeding made her feel sluggish — and dropped the 20 pounds she typically gained during pregnancy in eight weeks without dieting. (She breast-fed her third child for six months.)
The understanding of women's physical resilience during and after pregnancy has also developed in recent years.
"We still don't have good science to guide us," said Dr. Aaron Baggish, associate director of the cardiovascular performance program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, which counsels elite athletes through pregnancy. "But unequivocally I think women should exercise through pregnancy, both for their baby and their own health. The body has evolved that way. Your baseline fitness level is the best guideline: Elite athletes start out with a higher threshold, so they can do more."
After athletes give birth, efforts to get back into shape are consuming, coupled with the usual adjustments to caring for an infant. Breast-feeding interrupts the sleep that heals spent muscles and restores energy to a tired body. Babies are often kept out of group day care to prevent them from bringing home illnesses that could compromise rigid training plans.
Pregnancy can be hard to combine with any job. As in other fields, partners are generally a key component of elite athletes' ability to continue their careers after having children.
Edna Kiplagat, a 35-year-old Kenyan who is among the favorites in next Sunday's race, had two children before becoming a two-time marathon world champion and the 2010 winner in New York.
Her husband and coach, Gilbert Koech, gave up his running career to focus on hers and manage their family, making breakfast for their five children, three of whom are adopted, and taking them to school while Kiplagat trains.
Goucher's husband, Adam, retired from professional racing a year after their son's birth and started a running-related business. He tries to balance supporting her racing career with managing his new one, saying that he and Kara work to share equally in caring for Colt.
"Kara's putting her body through a lot right now," her husband said, "and we need to do everything possible to alleviate the stress of training. When she needs to go out and run, or needs to rest and recover, that's my first priority."
Goucher said she was taking the trade-offs in stride.
"It's scary because the fact is for all women when you have a child, you do need to drop out for a long time, and you don't know how you'll come back," she said. "It's a huge risk. Of course, I'm serious about my job, but in life I needed to be more than that. So I think it was worth it."

Anyone who has spent much time in Minnesota's "Med City" can't help but notice that wheelchairs are everywhere.
From city parking ramps and downtown sidewalks to park trails and the local mall, the chairs have an inescapable presence.
More than likely that has do to with the fact that Rochester is home to Mayo Clinic, visited by thousands of patients every day. Many of them use wheelchairs to get around. So it's not surprising that they exist in big numbers.
The big curiosity is how they end up all over the city with their users nowhere in sight — a fact that some local residents can be oblivious to.
Denny and Carol Scanlan say empty wheelchairs are just part of the Rochester landscape.
"I never even thought of it until just now," Denny Scanlan says over a drink at American Legion Post 92, where he is a member. "Well, I see them kind of everywhere we go, I guess — where you least expect them."
"Yes," says his wife, with a laugh. "At the mall. In a restaurant. " She adds, "We're so used to it that I don't even notice it."
But some people do notice the big blue chairs.
At the Blue Water Salon on the skyway level of the Doubletree Hotel, owner Shelly Joseph often sees them just outside her door, in a public stairwell largely used by hotel staff.
"I don't know why they're in here, but randomly they're in this stairwell," she says. "It's a fire exit, basically."
At the Starbucks across the hall, manager Dawn Lee-Britt sees wheelchairs outside the employee entrance at the back of the coffee shop at least a couple of times a week.
"Sometimes we can't get out," she says. "I'm getting used to it because we see them so often." She adds: "It's like they don't need it anymore or it's time to go.
Mayo Clinic has 1,180 wheelchairs in its Rochester fleet, largely for patient transport. It loses up to 150 chairs each year, says general services manager Ralph Marquez, who oversees patient equipment.
At $550 each, that could be as much as $82,500 a year.
"Yes, it's a financial burden to us from that standpoint, but it's also a service we provide," Marquez says. "And if the patient, you know, truly comes first, sometimes that's the expense of the business."
Because the clinic does not want to keep patients from leaving the campus, the clinic's courier service rounds up wheelchairs weekly, mostly from hotels and other places that alert them.
But the chairs can travel much farther than that.
"We've gotten calls from Orlando Airport. Goodwill up in Duluth had one of our chairs and luckily we were able to retrieve that one. We've had them in Denver, out east in a few airports," Marquez says. "They get back to us dirty and needing to be cleaned. People may take them home for a while. They wind up everywhere."
That includes the Rochester Public Library, where communications manager John Hunziker considers wheelchairs normal.
"I'm sure if you aren't used to Rochester, seeing somebody going down the skyway, you know, pushing an IV on a rolling stand looks kind of weird," he says. "But it's just part of living in Rochester."
And on some days, part of Hunziker's job is to let the Mayo Clinic know there's a blue chair to pick up in the lobby.

For children with food allergies, Halloween usually means they receive far fewer treats than their friends. But this year, their luck may improve if they can spot a teal pumpkin by the doors where they trick-or-treat.
That's because a new campaign from the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), Teal Pumpkin Project, aims to make Halloween safe for everyone.
"Food allergies are potentially life-threatening. When we are looking at a Halloween celebration, it is really nice to provide something that is safe," says Veronica LaFemina, spokeswoman for FARE.
LaFemina says that one in 13 children in the United States has a food allergy.
"The Teal Pumpkin Project encourages people to raise awareness of food allergies by providing non-food treats and painting a pumpkin teal … [which] indicates that house has non-food treats," she says. Teal is the color for food-allergen awareness.
FARE recommends that families hand out stickers, glow-sticks, vampire teeth, bouncy balls, or spider rings instead of candy, which frequently contain allergens.
"What people don't understand or realize is that the small candy bars that people pass out for Halloween are manufactured differently," says Beth Demis, whose 4- year-old son Luke is allergic to tree nuts and coconut. "A regular Hershey bar is okay but a smaller one [is not]."
Demis says she learns this kind of information by being a vigilant label reader and participating in groups where people share information about allergens. But people unfamiliar with food allergies often don't realize that smaller versions of safe candy are dangerous.
While most parents of children with allergies provide a plan to their children, trick-or-treating remains a chore. FARE recommends that parents fill out an emergency plan with the help of their allergists and make sure they carry all the needed gear, including epinephrine autoinjectors (also known as EpiPens).
"For Halloween time, they are just like other kids and want to dress up and participate," says LaFemina. "It can be tough when you have to say 'no thank you' and trade away most of your candy because it's not safe."
Demis, who lives in Cincinnati, says that her three children abide by a long-standing rule: No one can eat any candy until mom or dad examines it. Luke can swap with his brothers for candy that is safe and it is placed in his own plastic baggie. He knows he can't touch his brothers' candy.
Katherine Eagerton's 3-year-old son, Caden, is allergic to soy, milk, strawberries, and tomatoes. He knows he should stay away from food that's red, but he doesn't quite understand what having a food allergy means. She's excited that the Teal Pumpkin Project encourages non-food treats so that her son can enjoy Halloween like other children.
"I'm excited to see that it's actually catching on," says Eagerton, who lives outside of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She's using Facebook to encourage others in the state to offer non-food items this Halloween.
LaFemina says that 4.5 million people viewed the campaign's first two posts and they have been shared 44,000 times.
Eagerton says that helping kids with food allergies feel included at Halloween will have a tremendous impact.
"These little treats will make such a big difference," she says.

A Department of Veterans Affairs initiative targeting staph infections in hospitalized patients has produced positive results, according to data released by the VA. Among VA patients in ICUs between 2007 and 2012, healthcare-associated MRSA infection rates dropped 72% — from 1.64 to 0.46 per 1,000 patient days. Infection rates dropped 66% — from 0.47 to 0.16 per 1,000 patient days — for patients treated in non-ICU hospital units."These results are striking," Carolyn Clancy, MD, VA's interim under secretary for health, said in a news release. "Healthcare-associated infections are a major challenge throughout the healthcare industry, but we have found in VA that consistently applying some simple preventive strategies can make a very big difference, and that difference is being recognized."VA's prevention practices consist of patient screening programs for MRSA, contact precautions for hospitalized patients found to have MRSA, and hand hygiene reminders with hand sanitizer stations placed in common areas, patient wards and specialty clinics throughout medical centers, according to the release. Practices are reinforced via computerized reminders, training, measurement and continual feedback.MRSA infections are a serious global healthcare issue and are difficult to treat because the bacterium is resistant to many antibiotics. In a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2012 MRSA surveillance report from its Active Bacterial Core surveillance, the CDC cites 75,309 cases of invasive MRSA infections and 9,670 deaths due to invasive MRSA in 2012, according to the release."The VA healthcare system is able to implement and assess these prevention strategies," Martin Evans, MD, director of VA's MRSA control program, said in the release. "What we've learned translates into better healthcare for the veterans we serve."

James Wathen had stopped eating. Frail and barely able to speak, the 73-year-old whispered to a health care worker that he missed his dog, a one-eyed Chihuahua he hadn't seen since paramedics whisked him away to a Kentucky hospital weeks earlier.
So a team of nurses hustled to learn the fate of Wathen's beloved pet, Bubba, hoping a reunion might provide some peace and comfort to their heartbroken and deteriorating patient — even if arranging one meant bending ahospital rule against pets.
A series of phone calls eventually led the nurses to the Knox-Whitley Animal Shelter, where Bubba was taken and placed with a foster family, said Mary-Ann Smyth, president of the non-profit facility.
Coincidentally, Bubba had also recently fallen ill.
"The dog quit eating a week ago, which is very strange," Smyth told TODAY.com. "The dog didn't know where James was and James didn't know where the dog was and believe it or not, they both stopped eating at about the same time."
Plans were made to bring the little pooch, who lacked his bottom row of teeth along with his right eye, to the hospital over the weekend.
"He was so sad at first. We had him wrapped in a baby blanket and he was shivering," Smyth said. "The minute we got about 20 steps from this guy's room — I kid you not — his little head went up. His eyes got real bright and he was like a different dog."
She says a similar transformation took place in Wathen during his roughly 30-minute hospital reunion Saturday with Bubba.
"They didn't think James was going to make it," she recalled being told during her initial visit to the hospital. "I was 10 feet from his bed and you could barely understand him because he was so hard to hear. The nurse had to lean up right against his face to hear what he was saying."
But he slowly perked up as his dog snuggled with him on his bed. By the time Bubba returned for a second visit Tuesday, visible changes were noticeable in both man and his best friend.
"He's done a complete turnaround. He's speaking, he's sitting up, he's eating. He doesn't look like the same guy," said Smyth, who didn't attend the second visit but saw Wathen in footage recorded by the shelter's director. "And the dog is eating and doing better now, too."
Baptist Health Corbin, the hospital treating Wathen, did not return repeated messages left by TODAY.com seeking comment.
But nurse Kimberly Probus told WKYT-TV a team of nurses went looking for Bubba after "one of our social workers realized it was mourning the loss of the dog that was making our patient even worse and emotionally unhealthy."
Smyth said she's not surprised at the healing power pets provide their owners.
"I hope this story will show to people the tremendous difference that animals can make in people's lives," she said. She also hopes it will encourage people to think about rescuing pets from shelters like hers, which is rebuilding its facility after its previous home burned down in a fire last November.
"One of the biggest problems we face is the way some people think of animals. People just don't see animals as creatures and beings, they see them as property," she said. "I hope people understand they're not 'its,' they're 'beings.'"

Phil Rhodes holds an F55 for the first time and tells us where he thinks it fits in the digital cinematography marketplace
We don't think anyone was expecting this. This is such a NON Sony thing. Sony has just announced on their Community website that the Sony F5 and F55 will be able to have a hardware upgrade to two of the most popular post production formats: ProRes and DNxHD
It dawned on me just the other day: we are living in the future. There is so much innovation and new technology around us that it no longer feels like we're merely living in the present. It's as if we're in a science fiction movie where we've been transported forward by ten or twenty years
Sony caught the entire industry on the hop with their low list pricing for the recently-announced F5 and F55 4K-capable cameras, but now we're seeing the first street prices, and they are, of course, even lower!
We understand that Sony's prices for the F5 and F55 cameras will be released on Tuesday 27th November. This eagerly awaited announcement has the potential to reshape the digital cinematography landscape
Sony announces F5 upgrade path to F55 and new A7s full frame 4K DSLR - and reveals a new, confident stragety for media production at their 2014 NAB press conference
So, we've seen the announcement from Sony of two new 4K cameras, new codecs, new recording media and a new 30" 4K LCD monitor. Just how significant is this, and is this the 4K Tipping Point, at least for production, if not all the way to the home?
Freya Black, a UK-based writer, director, cinematographer and artist, urges us not to forget about the Sony FS-700, now that its upmarket siblings have been announced
Film always used to be the main thing that determined how a photograph looked. Now, it's the sensor. So camera manufacturers have taken on a huge extra responsibility!
We were a little bit underwhelmed when we saw the first footage from the F55, not because there's anything wrong with the camera - far from it; but because it was shot incredibly flat, and we kind of expected something a bit more eye-catching than that. The whole experience set us off on what was essentially a rant about how you shouldn't use YouTube or Vimeo to judge the quality of a camera

Opinion Roundup
Catholic World News - June 10, 2011
Several unrelated, but interesting, observations today:
- The Archbishop of Canterbury has sparked an interesting debate in England, with a statement on political affairs a statement on political affairs that comes perilously close to identifying liberal economic policies with Christian charity. But the venerable Tablet, a Catholic newspaper, goes a step further with an editorial that not only denies the problem of anti-Christian sentiment in Europe, but argues that with the rise of the European Union, Catholic social thought is triumphant:
Never before have so many European Governments conducted themselves in accordance with the recognisably Christian principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law.In European countries today, many nations allow legal abortion, recognize same-sex marriage, subsidize embryonic stem-cell research, and deny the rights of parents as primary educators. Euthanasia in legally available in some countries; prostitution in others. And the Tablet sees the reign of "recognizably Christian principles!" The editorial illustrates how far some Catholics (or, in the case of Dr. Williams, Anglicans) have traveled down the road toward acceptance of liberal ideology as a substitute for traditional Catholic teachings.
- Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal, in a Friday potpourri column, offers a simple yet compelling explanation for why US lawmakers must take action against Congressman Anthony Weiner, who is caught up in a "sexting" scandal:
This is decadence. It is pornography. We can't let the world, and the young, know it's "politically survivable." Because that will hurt us, not him, and define us, not him.
- In the same column, Noonan argues against the proposition that Mitt Romney should not be selected as the Republican presidential candidate because of his Mormon faith. She observes: "Mormons have been, on balance, a deeply constructive force in American life, and it is absurd and ignorant not to support a political figure only because you do not prefer or identify with the theology of his church." At The Catholic Thing, Francis Beckwith makes a similar argument, with greater theological depth. Catholics can make common cause with Mormons on political issues, he argues—just as they can make common cause with Protestants. But the religious opposition to Romney, polls show, comes more from Evangelical Protestants than from Catholics. And that opposition is considerable; a Pew Forum survey finds that roughly 25% of Americans would reject Romney because of his faith. Is it possible to win the presidency—or the Republican nomination—when one-fourth of the voters are beyond reach even at the outset of the campaign?
- Finally, John Allen devotes his weekly column to a list of what have been, in his view, the 10 most important foreign trips by Roman Pontiffs. Agree with him or not on the rankings, the list makes for interesting reading. And few people, I suspect, would disagree that the most important papal trip was that epochal visit to Poland by Pope John Paul II.

Iranian oil technician Majid Afshari makes his way to the oil separator facilities in Iran's Azadegan oil field southwest of Tehran, Iran.
The Sunday report by the semiofficial Mehr news agency quotes Mahmoud Bahmani as saying Iran will "confront" hostile policies.
The remark is the first reaction by a senior Tehran official on the day that an EU embargo on Iranian oil goes into effect.
The EU measures are intended to pressure Iran over fears that it is developing nuclear weapons. Iran denies the charges.
Iran is the second largest producer in OPEC and earns some 80 percent of its foreign revenue from exporting crude. Other U.S. and EU sanctions have already hit Iran's economy hard.

Blu-ray review: '2 Days in New York'
It's inexcusable that "2 Days in New York" isn't a smarter, funnier and more creative film.
Unfortunately, the movie feels like it lasts two days, despite Delpy's frenetic pacing. Not only does the indie filmmaker squander Rock's comedic talents by relegating him to the straight-man role, but she also pads her film with unpardonable measures of slapstick and stereotypes. It's not a pleasant trip, and it's not funny either.
Bonus features: Individual interviews with Delpy and Rock, more individual interviews with the cast from the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and a short making-of featurette.

Jackson resigning as co-chair of Capital Region Economic Development Council
Send this to a friend

- Reporter- Albany Business Review
- Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute President Shirley Ann Jackson is resigning as co-chair of the Capital Region Economic Development Council, the second leader to depart the group set up by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the past two months.
"With a strong strategic plan in place and having completed two full cycles of the consolidated funding application process, I believe that the timing is ideal for me to transition from the position of leadership," Jackson said in a letter sent Friday to other council members.
Her last day is Dec. 31.
Jackson's resignation comes just a week after the region was awarded $50 million to fund 84 projects, the least amount of any of the 10 regions in the state that competed for $740 million in grants and other assistance.
Jackson is one of the original co-chairs of the council, which was created by Cuomo in summer 2011 as part of a new approach to steering hundreds of millions of dollars in state economic development aid to businesses and municipalities.
Her resignation follows that of the other original co-chair, SEFCU President Michael Castellana, who stepped down in early October.
Jackson's departure leaves Albany Medical Center President and CEO James Barba as the sole chair.
In her letter, Jackson said the regional council has "much to be proud of" after 18 months of working with the Cuomo administration to identify economic development priorities in the region.
"Our Council has developed and implemented a solid strategic plan that builds upon the strengths of our region and fortifies our economic ecosystem," Jackson wrote.
She did not make reference to her unsuccessful effort to secure $16.5 million for a new supercomputer at RPI, a request that was turned down by the Cuomo administration during both rounds of funding.
DeMasi covers real estate, construction, retail and hospitality.

The clip The architect from The Matrix Reloaded (2003) with Helmut Bakaitis, Keanu Reeves
Hello, Neo.
Who are you?
I am the Architect.
I created the Matrix. I've been waiting for you.
You have many questions.
Though the process has altered your consciousness...
...you remain irrevocably human.
Ergo, some of my answers you will understand and some you will not.
Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent...
...you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant.
Why am I here?
Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation...
...inherent to the programming of the Matrix.
You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts...
...I've been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise...
...a harmony of mathematical precision.
While it remains a burden assiduously avoided...
...it is not unexpected and thus not beyond a measure of control...
...which has led you, inexorably...

Patty Bullion says after the winds passed Wednesday, there was a rain of family photos, Bible pages, personal papers and other scraps in her yard. She said a pregnant woman's ultrasound photo was the first thing she found outside her house in the small town of Lester.
Bullion started taking pictures of the items and posting them on a Facebook page. She's inviting others to do the same with found items.
More than 550 photos were on the site by Friday. People have itentified 40 items, Bullion said.
The site is called "Pictures and Documents found after the April 27, 2011 Tornadoes."

Kristin Chenoweth Returns to THE GOOD WIFE Set!
Despite previous reports that Emmy and Tony Award-winning star Kristin Chenoweth would not return to The Good Wife after suffering a head injury due to an accident on the set, the actress revealed on Twitter yesterday, August 31st, that she recently went back to the show to film a scene.
Chenoweth Tweeted, "I was able to go back and shoot a short scene with Alan Cumming on The Good Wife. #blessing!" followed by a photo of herself with actor Josh Charles, saying "My director today! the real deal."
It's up in the air whether Chenoweth's return to the show is temporary or if the actress will continue shooting for her originally planned arc as a "top-of-her-game political reporter."
Chenoweth will be featured in the season premiere of the series. In addition to the Broadway vet, the upcoming season of The Good Wife will feature guest appearances by Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning actor Nathan Lane as a bottom line-obsessed manager imposed on Lockhart & Gardner by the bank to cut costs and get the firm back to fiscal health. Rita Wilson will also reprise her role on the series as slick Los Angeles lawyer and frequent Lockhart & Gardner nemesis, Viola Walsh.
On Broadway, Chenoweth has appeared in Steel Pier, You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Epic Proportions, Funny Girl, Wicked, The Apple Tree, Promises, Promises, and On the Twentieth Century. Her Off-Broadway credits include The Fantasticks, Box Office of the Damned, Scapin, Strike Up the Band, A New Brain, On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Candide, The Apple Tree, Stairway to Paradise, Love, Loss and What I Wore.
The actress received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in the series "Pushing Daisies," and has appeared in the comedy "Glee" for which she received two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Recently, she starred in the series "GCB."
The fourth season of THE GOOD WIFE premieres Sunday, Sept. 30 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
