Wearable technology is an emerging manifestation of consumer electronics that has the potential to revolutionise healthcare. The novel hands-free design and clinically relevant functionalities of various wearable devices hold significant promise for surgery, but the breadth and quality of evidence supporting clinical implementation in the operating room remains unclear. The objective of this article is to provide an objective overview of the available literature regarding the use of wearable technology in surgery, both in clinical and simulated experimental settings. A systematic review examining the use of wearable technology in surgery was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases from inception through 15 January 2016. Three authors independently screened the titles and abstracts of the retrieved articles and those that satisfied the defined inclusion criteria were selected for a full-text review. A total of 87 publications were included in this review. These articles predominantly described the use of Google Glass, GoPro or customised head-mounted displays (HMDs) in a wide range of intraoperative clinical settings. The included articles were categorised based on the highlighted areas of clinical impact, with the majority (56) discussing various applications for enhancing intraoperative safety and efficiency. Almost all articles cited technological limitations and privacy concerns as serious barriers to the implementation of wearable technology in the operating room. Evidence in the available literature regarding the use of wearable technology in the operating room shows promise, but high-quality clinical trials are needed to fully understand their clinical impact. Further, it will be essential to address existing technological limitations, develop healthcare-specific applications, and integrate privacy-protecting safeguards before it may be feasible for wearable devices to seamlessly integrate into the operative environment.

Over the past decade, the landscape of consumer electronics has experienced a dramatic evolution culminating in the emergence of wearable technology. Typically referring to electronic devices with sensing and computational capabilities that are worn by or attached to the body,1 wearable technology has the potential to be a disruptive force in healthcare, particularly in surgery. With the hands-free form factor of devices enabling telecommunication and point-of-view video recording in the operative environment with minimal hindrance to user activity, the introduction of wearable technology in surgery may have a tremendous transformative impact on surgical education, intraoperative documentation and direct patient care.2–4
While interest among medical professionals surrounding consumer wearable devices has precipitated widespread discussion of potential applications in surgery, evidence to support their utility in this context is often anecdotal.5 As wearable technology becomes increasingly pervasive, it is essential that decisions regarding their integration into clinical practice be based on critical analyses of empirical evidence rather than novelty.
In this systematic review, our objective was to present an overview of the available literature regarding the use of wearable devices in surgery, both in clinical and simulated settings, as well as to objectively discuss factors affecting their integration into standard clinical practice.
This systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Electronic searches were performed across the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases from inception through 15 January 2016.
For the purpose of this review, wearable technology was broadly defined as any device that is worn by or attached to the body and is capable of providing the user with usable data. The systematic search strategy was developed by two authors (PDG and TPG) according to this definition and was executed with the assistance of a research librarian at the Health Sciences Library of St. Michael's Hospital. The following free-text search terms were used: 'wearable technology', 'surgery','surgeon', 'telemedicine', 'augmented reality', 'head-up display', 'head-mounted display', 'Google Glass', 'GoPro', 'smartglasses', 'smartgoggles', 'wearable computing', 'surgical procedures' and 'operative', combined so as to capture papers featuring both specific and generic terminology. Appropriate variations of these search terms were also used to account for alternate spellings and plurals, and search results were restricted to the English language. The full systematic search strategy is provided in online supplementary appendix 1.
supplementary appendix
Inclusion in this systematic review was limited to publications that evaluated or discussed the application of a wearable technology in a surgical context, irrespective of the intended user. Non-clinical studies that evaluated a wearable technology with the intention of eventual implementation in a surgical setting were considered to satisfy these criteria. Titles and abstracts of studies retrieved through the database search were screened independently by two authors (LK and PDG), and one author (LK) performed a full-text review of all relevant publications. References of the selected full-text articles were further analysed for additional relevant publications.
Data extracted from the included publications were publication type, clinical setting, the wearable device assessed, methods and key results. Synthesis of the results was facilitated by subsequently grouping the publications based on common themes within each category of extracted data.
A total of 614 publications identified by the database search were subjected to title and abstract screening, and 108 were selected for a full-text review. Of these, 28 were excluded for failing to satisfy the eligibility criteria. An additional seven publications identified during the manual bibliographic search were included following a full-text review. Thus, 87 publications ultimately fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this review (figure 1). These publications represented a range of article types (table 1), presenting wearable technology applications for various clinician roles in a variety of relevant specialties (table 2). Of the articles describing the use of wearables by surgical staff, 20 specifically concerned applications during minimally invasive surgery (MIS).
The included publications were also categorised into four groups based on the wearable device featured: (1) GoPro, (2) Google Glass, (3) head-mounted display (HMD) and (4) other; and four groups based on the discussed areas of clinical impact: (1) information management, (2) communication, (3) education, and (4) safety and efficiency.
Wearable devices
Google glass
Thirty-four articles concerned the use of Google Glass (Google, Mountain View, California, USA).1–3 ,5–35 Worn in the same manner as a conventional pair of glasses, Google Glass consists of a wire frame integrated with a computerised central processing unit, a 5MP camera for point-of-view picture and video capture, and a small head-mounted prism display that sits above the right eye.2 ,7 The device is capable of wireless connectivity and is equipped with various sensors to enable control via voice command, touch, blinking and head movement.2 ,3 ,16 Two publications30 ,31 featured customised versions of Google Glass, modified through the integration of third-party software.
Fifteen of the 34 articles (44%) featuring the use of Google Glass were primary research articles;2 ,5 ,8 ,10 ,11 ,15 ,16 ,19 ,21 ,26 ,28 ,31 ,32 ,35 ,36 of these, 12 described either exploratory studies or 'proof-of-concept' case studies in clinical settings. In general, all of these studies concluded that Google Glass has the potential to enhance various aspects of surgery, but the majority highlighted functional limitations (eg, limited battery life, insufficient resolution and rudimentary voice control), usability issues (eg, incompatibility with surgical loupes, mismatch between the user's natural line of sight and the position of the display) and privacy concerns as significant barriers to practical clinical implementation.
Nine publications featured various iterations of the GoPro camera system (GoPro, San Mateo, California, USA), including the GoPro HERO3, HERO3 Silver, HERO3 Black, HERO4 Black and the stereoscopic 3D HERO system.34 ,35 ,37–43 The GoPro series of cameras are commercially available 'action' cameras typically used for extreme sport photography.39 ,43 They consist of a high-definition (HD) camera encased in a compact frame that can be strapped to the head or body of the user.42
Five of the nine articles (56%) were primary clinical research articles that evaluated various GoPro devices.35 ,38 ,39 ,42 ,43 All of these studies found that the technical specifications of the models tested could be adjusted to optimise the quality of picture and video capture such that fine details within the surgical field could be visualised. However, the lack of an integrated screen and the weight of the device were noted as clinically significant usability issues.
Head-mounted display
A total of 45 publications described the use of see-through HMDs produced by a variety of manufacturers, including Sony Corporation, eMagin, Vista Medical Technologies, Microvision and others.32 ,44–87 The term 'HMD' refers to a class of head-worn displays capable of superimposing computer-generated imagery over the user's field of view.61 Generally, there are two classes of see-through HMDs: optical and video.4 Optical see-through HMDs allow the user to view the real world through a semitransparent mirror, thereby enabling the superimposition of electronic text or images over the user's natural view, while video see-through HMDs feature non-transparent screens that instead display a video feed of a real-world scene, captured with an external camera, in front of the user's eyes.88 The use of video HMDs was described in all 20 articles pertaining to MIS where HMDs provided users with an individualised endoscopic display.44 ,49 ,51–54 ,56–58 ,64 ,65 ,69 ,72 ,80 ,81 ,83–87
Thirty-three of the 45 articles (73%) describing the use of HMDs were primary research articles, 19 of which were exploratory studies carried out in clinical settings.47 ,49 ,51 ,52 ,55–58 ,65 ,66 ,69 ,71 ,80 ,81 ,83–87 Device design and methodology varied significantly across these studies, but the results overall demonstrated the feasibility of HMDs in the various specified clinical environments. Notably, device ergonomics (eg, weight) and usability issues (eg, wire connectivity, inattentional blindness) were generally cited as hindering factors to practical clinical implementation, and one clinical study85 reported negative physical side effects among HMD users, including eye fatigue, dizziness and headache.
An additional three wearable devices were discussed in three separate articles; these were the FitBit (Fitbit, San Francisco, California, USA), a wrist-worn personal activity monitor that collects user movement data using an imbedded accelerometer,33 a customised HMD with an integrated iGen Night Vision Viewer (First Texas Products, El Paso, Texas, USA) for fluorescence visualisation in tumour resection surgery,89 and a hands-free headset for interpersonal communication in a dermasurgery clinic.90
Clinical applications
A total of 21 articles evaluated or discussed the ability of wearable devices, especially Google Glass, to facilitate valuable communication within an operative setting. Most frequently discussed was the potential for teleconferencing, which involves providing a live video feed of an ongoing surgical procedure to remote observers using the video-streaming functionality of a wearable device, or teleconsultation, whereby clinicians in geographically distinct locations consult with one another via video-streaming software. Hamann et al15 studied the use of Google Glass for videoconferencing and teleconsultation in dermatological surgery, where Google Glass was used to send a live video feed of a recent excision site to a team of surgeons at a distant location who were then able to participate in the clinical decision-making process.
Educational applications of wearable technology were featured in 25 articles. Wearable devices with point-of-view recording and video-streaming capabilities were predominantly identified as potential educational tools for training surgical residents via telemonitoring, as demonstrated by Rahimy and Garg26 in the context of ophthalmological surgery. In this clinical study, an ophthalmologist wore Google Glass while performing scleral buckling surgery, a procedure with a small operative field that is not conducive to conventional trainee instruction, thereby allowing trainees to visualise a video stream of the primary surgeon's field of view on a monitor with real-time narration. Warrian et al42 additionally highlighted the utility of GoPro devices in the context of surgical education by using both head-mounted and chest-mounted GoPro cameras to record the surgeon's manner of handling the surgical instrumentation and the corresponding instrument movements within the surgical field during oculoplastic surgery.
Safety and efficiency
A total of 56 articles featured applications of wearable technology that have the potential to impact intraoperative safety and/or efficiency. Devices in this category were diverse, including a see-through HMD for monitoring physiological patient data that enables anaesthesiologists to limit time spent looking away from the patient,70 and HMDs with fluorescence visualisation capability for identifying margins in tumour resection surgery.62 ,63 Efficiency-enhancing applications were equally broad, encompassing the use of Google Glass to display and facilitate the completion of surgical checklists,3 ,22 ,25 ,29 and the use of HMDs to provide surgeons performing minimally invasive procedures with individual endoscopic displays.
Information management
Finally, 20 articles discussed the ability for wearable devices to manage textual, pictorial and numerical information intraoperatively. Associated applications included photodocumentation via picture and video capture, voice-initiated intraoperative dictation, and the collection of personal movement data to facilitate the assessment of specific surgical skills.33
A thematic categorisation of the potential clinical applications of wearable devices, as discussed in the articles included in this review, is given in table 3.
Technological advancements in recent years have given rise to the imminent possibility of pervasive wearable technology in surgery. In this review, we comprehensively summarised the current literature regarding the use of wearable technology in the operating room with a view to clarifying the evidence supporting the integration of wearable technology into clinical practice.
Among the most significant findings of this review was the lack of high-quality evidence supporting the use of wearable technology in surgical settings. That the majority (69%) of the articles included in this review were primary research articles is promising, yet only 30% of the described studies were carried out in clinical settings, and none of these were formal randomised controlled trials. While the prevalence of observational methodologies may be attributed to the prerequisite to establish 'proof-of-concept' or the early prototypical nature of many of the devices studied, it is essential that their impact on critical intraoperative parameters be explored through well-designed clinical trials before these devices can be recommended for exclusive implementation in standard surgical practice.
This review highlighted the use of a variety of wearable devices in operative settings; those featured most predominantly included HMDs, Google Glass and GoPro cameras. Despite the general lack of high-quality studies surrounding these devices, the information presented sufficiently illustrated the relative strengths of each in addition to potential clinical applications. Strengths of Google Glass included its lightweight construction, user-friendly interface and potential for hands-free control; GoPro devices were universally praised for their powerful HD cameras capable of capturing precise anatomical detail; and HMDs were described as the first practical apparatuses to bring augmented reality to the operating room.2
Certain HMDs were found to be particularly useful in the context of MIS. By providing surgeons with an individualised display of the endoscopic video feed, an HMD frees the user from gazing at a stationary monitor, thereby allowing the user to adopt a more natural and ergonomically favourable position throughout the case.69 Furthermore, most HMDs are semi-immersive, meaning they allow users to have a direct view of the patient below the electronic display; by aligning the direct and indirect views in this way, HMDs may also eliminate the inefficiency and risk of technical error associated with looking back and forth between the endoscopic monitor and the operative field.49
In categorising the included articles based on area of clinical impact, we found that applications of wearable technology predominantly focused on improving the safety and efficiency of intraoperative processes. The associated applications were novel, wide-ranging and designed for use by a variety of care providers, thereby reflecting the interconnected relationship between intraoperative safety and the entire healthcare team. Furthermore, the applications presented suggest that wearable devices may be able to resolve certain human factors that negatively influence performance and safety in the OR. For example, HMDs designed for intraoperative anaesthesia monitoring maintain a display of patient variables within the physician's field of view to mitigate attentional conflicts associated with patient care tasks and the distracting operative environment.75 Indeed, wearable devices may have an important role to play as the need for quality and safety improvement in healthcare increasingly becomes a driving force for innovation.
Beyond enhancing intraoperative safety and efficiency, the clinical implementation of wearable devices, especially Google Glass, may have a particularly significant impact on surgical education. By circumventing logistical challenges associated with conventional surgical observation, wearable devices with point-of-view video recording and live-streaming applications have the potential to bring surgical demonstrations at any given location to a global audience. Allowing trainees themselves to wear video-recording devices while operating independently may also be beneficial, as this could enable their superiors to remotely supervise in real time or to accurately assess surgical skill through video review, which would provide significantly more detail surrounding the case compared with retrospective reporting alone.28
Despite the numerous potential clinical applications of wearable devices, various functional limitations may hinder implementation. Unrestricted freedom of motion gave battery-powered wearables a distinct advantage over their wire-connected counterparts, but poor battery life was repeatedly cited as a serious limitation to device usability; when subjected to the heavy usage of continuous video streaming, Google Glass had a reported battery life of 30–40 min,5 ,10 while GoPro devices required charging after 90 min of continuous recording.39 ,43 Since these devices were originally developed for the consumer market,1 ,2 it is not surprising that their designs and capabilities have not been optimised for medical applications. For wearables to achieve practical intraoperative implementation, improved battery technology will be critical, as will be device-specific modifications, such as improved camera resolution and a more accurate alignment between the field of view of head-worn cameras and a surgeon user's downward line of sight.16 ,36 Device design also has important implications for intraoperative safety; poorly designed head-worn displays have the potential to cause inattentional blindness, described as an impeded ability to focus on and detect events in the surrounding environment.10 ,60 ,75 ,76 To successfully expand the use of wearable devices to the operating room, user-centred design will be imperative for optimising usability, promoting clinical uptake and, most importantly, protecting patient safety.
One final concern associated with wearable devices is the issue of confidentiality. Despite some authors describing favourable patient and user acceptance of Google Glass in their respective clinical experiences, the majority of the included articles referenced concerns over the ability of existing wearable devices to sufficiently manage and protect private information. For example, clinical users of Google Glass must delete any stored information that is sensitive in nature before connecting to WiFi, as the device automatically uploads stored files to Google servers on establishing an internet connection.5 This issue may be partially addressed through the development of medicine-specific software applications that conform to regulations surrounding patient data ownership.1 ,5 ,23 Transparent organisational policies regarding the use of intraoperative information collected using wearable devices will also be critical from the user's point of view to ensure that recorded data are used constructively rather than punitively.12 ,20 ,33
The lack of methodological homogeneity across the articles included in this study impeded the synthesis of robust conclusions regarding the impact of intraoperative applications of wearable technology, and this is indeed one of the limitations of this review. The inclusion of commentary and editorial articles may have contributed to this issue, but it was our view that these article types provided informative accounts of initial experiences with wearable technology in the operating room in the absence of clinical trials. Their inclusion also allowed us to acquire a broad understanding of the quality of the available literature, which further highlighted the need for more formal primary research.
In conclusion, wearable devices hold promise for a number of intraoperative specialties with applications in the broad categories of education, safety and efficiency, communication and information management. Moving forward, it will be essential to address the technological limitations of existing wearable technology, develop healthcare-specific applications, and integrate privacy-protecting safeguards before it may be feasible for wearable devices to seamlessly integrate into the operative environment. The subsequent execution of robust clinical trials will then be needed to elucidate the holistic clinical impact of wearable devices on intraoperative users, processes and outcomes.

Quick Reference
(1504?–1553), earl of Warwick and duke of Northumberland, English soldier, political leader, and supporter of the mid-Tudor Reformation. The son of Edmund Dudley, the disgraced minister of Henry VII, John Dudley first came into prominence as a soldier and a privy councillor during the reign of Henry VIII (r. 1509–1547). Dudley's influence was greatest after the accession of Edward VI (r. 1547–1553), when he was active in the king's council and at court. Until 1549 Dudley supported the leadership of Protector Somerset; afterward the two became political opponents. An army commanded by Dudley defeated rebels led by Robert Kett outside Norwich in 1549. Because the rebellions of that year were inspired by Protestant and Catholic extremists who threatened the government and the state church, Dudley became a vigorous advocate of law and order. He used his political influence to assist Protestant reformers who wished to move beyond the Henrician religious settlement and bring the Church of England into the mainstream of the Continental Reformation. Dudley's patronage was important in securing episcopal appointments for two leading reformers, John Hooper and John Harley. Dudley also recommended John Knox for a bishopric, but the latter declined the offer. The personal religious views of Dudley, like most of the English nobility of the period, are difficult to determine. He wrote nothing on religious questions but until his death perceived himself as a friend of the reformers. Dudley shared the conviction of most English clergy and nobles that the Anabaptists posed a threat to the country, but his opposition seems to have focused more on the Anabaptists' alleged rejection of the traditional social order than their theology.

OVER 20 YEARS (since 1992)OVER 30,357 PUPPIES INTO PET HOMES
Toy Schnauzer Puppies for SaleAll available puppies pictured below are here in Oxford, Massachusetts
For well over a decade now, a smaller version of the Miniature schnauzer has been bred, called the Toy Schnauzer. In order to size down the Miniature Schnauzer, smaller toy breeds were introduced. This was necessary and is not frowned upon. The Toy Schnauzer is bred to be a small family pet, suitable for city and apartment life and as a great breed for both the young and old alike.
This developing breed has found popularity faster than it has been developed. In appearance he looks exactly like his bigger cousin, the Miniature Schnauzer. In temperament, he has retained the same intelligence yet is calmer and quieter than the Miniature Schnauzer.
Because this is a pet only breed, the Toy Schnauzer comes in a wide varity of coat types and colors. Coat types range from the harsh coat of the Mini Schnauazer to the also popular softer woolier coat types.
In most new breeds, there is considerable inbreeding done to fix the breed's traits. But the Toy Schnauzer is being bred as a pet, so inbreeding is discouraged and genetic diversity has been encouraged. In keeping with this goal of genetic diversity, other toy breeds may be added, as long as it does not take away the appearance or temperament of the Toy Schnauzer. Allowable breeds are Toy Poodle, Miniature Pinscher, and Maltese.

The FORD NAIAS Digital Summit
This is a guest post by Jenn Quillen, of TheRebelChick.com, who was kind enough to represent this blog at the The 2013 FORD NAIAS Digital Summit in Detroit.
While attending the Ford NAIAS Digital Summit during the North American International Auto Show, I had the good fortune to visit amazing Ford Motor Company landmarks and to learn more about the Ford Motor Company's history and their plans for the future. My whirlwind adventure with Ford ended with my attendance of the Ford press conference on January 15th the new Ford Atlas concept was revealed!
In 2013, the Ford Motor Company plans to continue to go further in the areas of sustainability and technology.
My trip began with a visit to the Henry Ford Museum, which showcased everything from the progression of design in Ford models through the years, to the only intact Dymaxion House, to an actual train!
After taking a brief tour of the Henry Ford Museum, we sat down to hear about the collaboration between Ford and MILK Studios.
The new Ford Fusion was designed to strike an emotional chord with customers by balancing form and function, all while continuing to embrace the growing trend of making high-end products more affordable for everyone. MILK Studios recently revealed "Wall to Wall: The Fusion Collective," a gallery experience uniting fashion, music, photography, film and technology in one of a kind artistic displays.
Ford's collaboration with MILK Studios is a result of Ford Motor Company's continually evolving design strategy that includes the use of virtual reality technology, sustainable materials, and creative disciplines to advance exterior design and the in-car experience.
If you are in the Detroit area, I highly recommend that you carve out a day to spend at the Henry Ford Museum, as there are so many parts of the museum to explore and discover that you will want plenty of time to spend there!
You can find out more about the Henry Ford Museum here.
My second day of the Ford NAIAS Digital Summit began with a trip to the Ford Rouge Factory for a tour of their facilities. You may have seen me tweeting away with the #FordNAIAS hashtag as I made my way through the facilities; there was just so much information to share!
Tours of the Ford Rouge Factory are self-guided and include five-part parts: a presentation in the Legacy Theater, a 360 degree experience in the Art of Manufacturing Theater, a visit to the Observation Deck where you can view the Ford Rouge Factory's eco-friendly living roof, a tour through the Dearborn Truck Plant and finally, a walk through the Legacy Gallery.
Walking through the Dearborn Truck Plant was the highlight of the Ford Rouge Factory tour, as we were able to see exactly where the new Ford F-150s are assembled! As you make your way through the factory on an elevated walkway, visitors are able to see different stages in the assembly process – which ends with a test drive on a quarter of a mile track right outside the factory.
You can find out more about the Ford Rouge Factory, along with tour hours and admission prices, on TheHenryFord.org.
That evening, we visited the Tech Shop to learn more about Ford Motor Company's merging of technology, artistry and design. I watched a presentation about Ford's incredible award-winning SYNC technology and learned how the AppLink feature allows drivers to connect their favorite apps to their car. I had no idea that this even existed and was so excited to be able to come back and tell you all about it!
App developers are now joining the Ford Developer Program to allow vehicle owners to control some of their favorite apps for in-vehicle use with SYNC AppLink, using voice commands. With a diverse set of categories such as Music & Entertainment, News & Information to Navigation & Travel, Health and Wellness, Ford offers a great opportunity for developers to integrate their apps into the car.
The Tech Shop is a wondrous place where artists and craftsmen can come to take classes on everything from woodworking to graphic design – and then use the knowledge they've acquired to use the tools within the Tech Shop. With everything from an automobile lift, to woodworking machinery, to a jewelry making station, you can find a class and the tools to complete any project you need at the Tech Shop!
My last day of the Ford NAIAS Digital Summit was by far the most informative and exciting. At the Ford press conference, we watched as the new Ford Atlas concept was revealed for the first time!
The all-new Ford Atlas concept. In a word? Stunning.
After 36 years of creating America's best-selling pick up trucks, Ford really knocked it out of the park with this concept! The Ford Atlas concept showcases the design, capability, fuel efficiency and smart technologies that is surely to become the future of pickup trucks.
Inspired by decades of listening to drivers at the places they work and play, the Ford Atlas concept has a purpose-driven design that includes stylish wheel arches, a wide stance and a gorgeous, bold grille. Every aspect of the new Ford Atlas concept reinforces its stylish and functional Built Ford Tough image.
You can find out more about Ford sustainability practices, as well as their concentration on design, technology and function for future models at Ford.com.

Marking a first for a Spanish-language web, Univision Network News has won a 1997 Edward R. Murrow Award in the network newscast category for its coverage of the Olympic bombing in Atlanta, the Radio-Television News Directors Association announced Thursday. The Murrow Awards are bestowed annually to recognize excellence in electronic journalism.
Univision's recognition for its Atlanta bombing coverage was particularly notable "because it was a story everyone was competing very hard on," Barbara Cochran, prexy of the Washington D.C.-based RTNDA, told Daily Variety. The winning coverage for the network newscast (first awarded in 1995) was anchored by Jorge Ramos in Miami and reported by Maria Elena Salinas in Atlanta.
NBC lead all networks, winning in five Murrow categories. The Peacock network's "Dateline NBC" program was honored in the television network/syndication service/program service division in the categories of spot news coverage, investigative reporting, feature reporting, sports reporting and news series.
ABC's "Nightline" was selected in the continuing coverage category and for news documentary for its mag "Turning Point." ABC News Radio was also honored in the overall excellence, newscast, continuing coverage and feature categories.
All 52 Murrow Awards will be presented at a ceremony in New Orleans on Sept. 17. Walter Cronkite will emcee.

Date: August 2, 2010
West Islip, NY – Health screening tests conducted to determine the possible presence of a disease or other health problem. They can help doctors find diseases early, when the diseases may be easier to treat. While there is not universal agreement as to which tests should be performed and when, there are recommendations. Individuals should consult their doctors and insurers for information specific to their needs.
Recommendations for women age 50 and older are to be screened for blood pressure: at least every two years, cholesterol: every five years (or every three years starting at age 65), skin exam, breast exam, mammogram, blood test, pelvic exam and a Pap test: annually, bone mineral density test: once as a baseline, fasting plasma glucose test: for diabetes, every three years, thyroid-stimulating hormone test: every 3-5 years starting at age 65 and colorectal cancer test: every 5 to 10 years. Men age 50 and older should be screened for blood pressure: at least every two years, cholesterol: every five years (or every three years starting at age 65), skin exam, digital rectal exam: (to check for the possibility of prostate cancer) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) test: every year, fasting plasma glucose test: (for diabetes) every three years and colorectal cancer test: every five to ten years.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If everyone was aware of annual visits and the tests that are normally indicated at certain times in their lives, they would be much better off," stated Anthony A. Guida, MD, chair of family medicine at Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center.
Americans use preventive services at about half the rate recommended by doctors and public health experts. Talk with a doctor or nurse about scheduling important screenings. Tell your doctor about any diseases or issues that run in your family medical history, and ask questions about your health.
For additional information on Community Health and free health screenings please call Good Samaritan Hospital (631) 376-4444.
Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center is a 537-bed (including 100 nursing home beds), voluntary, not-for-profit hospital located in West Islip. The medical center, which has more than 4,500 employees and almost 900 physicians on staff, had more than 30,000 patient admissions and more than 100,000 emergency room visits in 2009. Good Samaritan is a member of Catholic Health Services of Long Island. Visit the website at www.good-samaritan-hospital.org.
Good Samaritan provides approximately $49 million in community service and charity care each year. The medical center supplies residents with the tools necessary to maintain good health. This includes community lectures, screenings, health fairs and other community programs and services.

Having reviewed the Caramel Chocolate Kellogg's Rice Krispy Square the other week, Dean-German-Grocery sent me across their German equivalent 'Nippon' to see if it would fair any better on the ChocolateMission rating system. These were delivered to me in a 200.0g packet that included 18 mini puffed rice squares that had been dipped in milk chocolate ... it took myself and a few friends a matter of minutes to munch our way through the lot.
These really were no a frills product - from the packaging to the actual squares themselves they were entirely unspectacular. The outer plastic packaging was very plain looking, though the inner plastic tray was a nice touch for the protection of the squares. Despite looking relatively boring in their looks, the squares actually had a relatively forthcoming sweet malty aroma that managed to give them some sort of appeal.
The chocolate that fused the product was was relatively decently portioned, and provided a nice creamy chocolaty base flavour. If I had to liken it to anything I would say it tasted very similar to bog standard Nestle milk chocolate (like on Kit Kats etc!) ... by all means unspectacular, but at the same time relatively pleasurable. I was somewhat disappointed with the crispness of the rice cereal, the chocolate had seemed to soften the rice somewhat meaning it lacked the desired crunch. The flavours of the cereal were also relatively sublte, they were far from the sugary 'Sugar Puffs' type of rice cereal, and added more of a wheaty, cereal undertone to the chocolate.
Overall I would say these were better than our Kellogg's Rice Krispy Square, though were still far from being a spectacular - 'must-try' product. The portioning of the chocolate was quite generous, and it did have a nice milky appeal - a real contrast from the chocolate starved Kellogg's alternative. Unfortunately though, every other aspect struggled to be little better than average, the cereal, overall presentation and hunger fufillment credentials were all nothing more than mediocre. I wouldn't really go out my way to recommend these, as there is nothing really that special about them. If you come across them though, they will provide a decent enough tasty snack.

Bruges, Belgium | The Most Beautiful City
The snow is beautiful, isn't it? One of the few times a big city looks truly beautiful is after it's first snow. Everything looks clean, quiet and peaceful… the chaos of the city is blanketed in white. But where do I miss most on a snowy day like today? A city half a world away, in the country of Belgium, in a place called Bruges.
Any Colin Farrell fans out there? Yeah, me too. Have you seen the movie, In Bruges? If so, please do not judge the city based on this movie. While the movie is absurd and hilarious, it does not represent the Bruges I know. Watch it for what it's great for (mmmmmm Colin).
I'm going to be completely honest here – regardless of how silly this will sound. When I got off the train in Bruges, in the center square, I cried. The fact that it was night time, the streets were nearly empty, and there was a light snow certainly contributed to the magic, but nevertheless, Bruges is the most beautiful city I have ever seen.
In the last paragraph I mentioned magic. Magical is a perfect way to describe Bruges. Let me try and explain… When you walk through the city, you feel as if you've gone back in time. The city's architecture will steal your breath away – from the medieval churches to the cobblestone streets. If you stay until night, when the streets clear out, you have this surreal feeling that you are walking where no one has before.
First: get to Brug Square. Bruges' City Hall (Stadhuis) is absolutely stunning. If you are there during the day, take the tour. It is certainly worth it. Otherwise, just stroll around the Square. Hell, take a horse and carriage if you really want to live in a fairy tale. Another amazing site is the Church of Our Lady. While I didn't have the chance, take a trip down the canal (Groenerei) via boat. I've heard the most amazing things about these mysterious (and quite famous) canals. Bruge is known as "The Venice of the North" after all, and is actually the cultural capital of Europe.
And the people… in this area of the world, language and religion does play its part, but here, in Bruges, it is all forgotten. The people have a classic charm that you just don't find anymore. Another silly secret – after speaking with a restaurant owner for only 2 minutes, I had the urge to hug him. Okay, the beer did encourage this, as did the fact that I always want to hug people, but seriously – go to this city and see what I mean.
As you may or may not know, Belgium is famous for its beer. Try a Straffe Hendrik – a true Belgium beer. It is delicious. Need a great place? Try Bierbrasserie Cambrinus. In fact, maybe you can meet the guy I wanted to hug. This place has amazing food and all the choices in beer you can hope for. But for the love of God, please don't steal a glass. I know you are tempted to, they are very cool glasses, but its just as easy to buy one from one of the tourist shops. Don't be "that guy".
Bruges is beautiful, romantic and charming. Hopefully I painted a bit of a picture. While I have many places still to see in this big, wide world, I can honestly say that Bruges is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Cheers.

Genetics and Breeding
Genetic knowledge is a pre-requisite for the deployment of scientific breeding methods in crop improvement. Our strategy therefore is to produce new cultivars better adapted to growing conditions and end uses through the application of genetic research in collaboration with appropriate partners.
Our major focus is on barley, soft fruit (blackcurrant and raspberry) and potato. These crops each provide different challenges for genetic analysis and application to crop improvement. Barley is a diploid inbreeder, blackcurrants and raspberries are diploid outbreeders and potato is an autotetraploid outbreeder. Barley is propagated through seed whereas the other crops are reproduced vegetatively.
For all these crops, we evaluate the genetic variation within germplasm collections and apply the appropriate genome and gene expression analyses. From these, molecular breeding methods are developed and deployed, either through collaborations with commercial sponsors or through the release of enhanced germplasm.
See the crop-specific pages below for more information.

As far back as Robin Lee can remember her passion has been horses, realizing her dream of owning the magnificent Arabian when Aleah Arabians was started in 1997. Robin's goal is to breed one or two foals a year of the highest quality, and to perpetuate the lines of the straight Egyptian Arabian horse for future generations. Being a small breeder with a just a few horses has given Robin much pleasure through the years and many wonderful friends, the world over. Most of her foals have been exported to foreign lands to individuals seeking to infuse their breeding stock with the high level of quality held at Aleah Arabians.

after installing and launching the application, the first thing you will see is personal profile wizard where you enter your birthdate, sex, height, weight, activity level, and snack preference (single snack or multiple snack times). your bmi (body mass index) is then calculated, but i don't think it is very accurate for people with body types like mine. after entering my information the results show i am obese. i'll admit i could lose a few pounds, but at 6 feet, 1 inch and 245 lbs i am not even close to being obese so it doesn't seem to calculate well (as i have found to be the case in any simple calculation program) for people with large muscle masses. your daily nutrition plan target is shown in the next step of the wizard and you have the opportunity to customize them to change your goals.
setting up your personal profile
after you have your profile setup then each time you launch the application the diary window for the current day will appear. the program is designed for you to simply and quickly fill out each day with the meals you ate and the exercise you participated in. for meals you can search or browse through the food database (50,000+ foods that are updated regularly) and then simply drag it from the left window to the right window under the appropriate meal time. i was able to find just about every food i could think of eating, including snack foods, fast food and restaurant meals, and more. after you drag a food to the diary pane a pop-up appears where you can change the quantity from the default to the actual serving you ate. the food then appears in your diary and calculations are performed automatically with the results appearing at the bottom of the window. the results show calories, carbs, fat, protein, fiber, and exercise with your targets. bars move to the right as you consume food and ends at your target. there is also a bottom line for fluids where you click the + every time you drink a glass of water with 6 glasses being the target.
the main diary window and choosing food
setting the quantity of food you ate
creating a new food for your database
on the right side of the diary window you will find tabs for food, exercise, custom foods, custom exercises, and saved meals. foods are arranged in lots of categories and there is a quick search bar at the top. after selecting foods that i ate during the day, i then went to the exercise tab and selected the exercise i performed for the day. i was pleased to see they even had my favorite sport, rugby, in the list. you can create your own custom foods and exercise in case what you are looking for is not in the list.
selecting your exercise for the day
while the diary window is the main interface you will probably spend most of your time in, there are also other windows to work in. the check-in window allows you to maintain a journal with columns to record your physical dimensions (chest, waist, hip, thigh, and steps taken with a pedometer). for best results, the program recommends that you weigh in each week.
the reports window contains breakdowns, daily summary, nutrients, steps, and weight reports in pie chart and bar graph formats with quick and easy to read color schemes.
daily summary reports help you track your progress
my wife is more involved in nutrition and food planning and said it is best to eat many small meals throughout the day rather than 3 large meals. calorieking allows you to record up to six meals or snacks per day so hopefully that meets the needs of most people.
i've only been using the application for a short while, but so far i am quite impressed with it and look forward to seeing how it can help me reach my weight loss and exercise goals. at first i thought it would be overwhelming to enter all the data and keep track of my daily food intake. i found that it only took me something like 5-10 minutes to enter everything and that is worth it to record the data. you may be amazed how much you eat when you start recording your daily intake and the fact that it makes you a bit more aware of what you are eating can by itself help you lose weight.
you can purchase calorieking nutrition and exercise manager for mac os x for us$45 (download) or us$49 for a boxed copy. there is also a 7-day free trial version available and a windows version with palm os software that works and syncs with the windows version as well.

|sorry dude (8:07am est tue may 15 2007)
but at 6ft 1″ and weighing 245lbs is alot, i would bet that would qualify as obese at a doctors. i'm 5ft 10″ and weigh 167lbs and consider myself to be just overweight.
remember the boxer lennox lewis? he is tall at 6ft 5″ and weighed 247lbs at his prime and was alot a of muscle then.
as for the programme is sounds good if you like making a note of everything, but i think most people without using a diet plan would know how to get into shape. eat less junk and do more exercise.
for those that have a problem losing weight or need to have a tight six pack, i bet this could help.

Tablets aren't the only PC devices utilizing the wonders of a touchscreen interface, thanks to Windows 7 bringing huge advancements to touch screen devices you can now have the interactive experience right on your everyday desktop.
Acer has launched the T231H LCD touchscreen monitor, the replacement to its first device, the T230H; one of a very few consumer oriented (and available) multi-touch touchscreen monitors.
The new LCD brings a much more stylish design that Acer claims is more ergonomic, making for a more comfortable operation through a specialized stand that easily tilts from 5° to 60°.
Spec wise it is the same as the original, a full 23-inch 1980 x 1080 resolution panel with 2ms response time, 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio with ACM (Adaptive Contrast Management), max brightness of 300 cd/m2, and DVI/ HDMI inputs.
The monitor is only paper launched and should be available at retailers by summer with an expected price of approximately $450 USD.

text: Beaujolais is a go-to summer red because it's light enough to guzzle in the heat, maybe with a bit of a chill, but it gives up nothing in complexity. You can drink it with almost any food, or just enjoy it in the park. 2010 was a great vintage in Beaujolais and the good wines are really hitting their stride now, 6 years on. And this is good wine! It's got delicious 2010 fruit, but is also starting to show the terroir signatures: the earth, a hint of iodine.

Business requirements constantly change, but the desire to get faster – in decision making, process, and transactions – rarely abates. As business runs on data, actions to get faster lead to decisions on how to speed up storage arrays. Storage arrays purchased 2-3 years ago may lack the flexibility to intelligently add newer and faster technologies like solid state disks in capacities which can deliver meaningful improvements in speed. Managing the placement of the data to match the business requirements with the storage array capabilities, often called tiering, may be missing in the array or provide limited function.
Adding a standalone solid state appliance to front-end the storage array is an established approach, but adds another layer of complexity into operations – and places the burden of integration and optimization on IT. Adding more or different types of disk drives is a long standing approach – and can be costly if the speed increase needed leads to more disk drives than the array can support.
An alternative is to transfer the control and management of the storage array to a system which provides solid state capacity and intelligent data management for tiered storage. NetApp pioneered this solution several years ago and it is available for use with other enterprise vendor storage arrays. Adding V-Series to the existing storage array brings the following key functions and capabilities:
Understanding the full range of effective and acceptable alternatives to improve the speed of a storage array leads to better decisions. Including the V-Series product as a consideration brings unique flexibility and capability to addressing the constant business need for faster storage.

Helena Christensen joins Oxfam to witness climate impacts in Peru
Model and photographer Helena Christensen has returned to her Peruvian roots, her mother's native country, to document the dramatic effects that climate change is having on people today.
Following this week's trip, she says: "The impacts of the climate change are extremely severe in the areas we visited. The farmers we met and talked to are already living very hard lives, and are now being forced to adapt to salvage the effects of the rapidly changing climate.
"One of the women I spoke to, Elizabeth Ayma, told me that because rainfalls are less frequent now and impossible to predict due to the climate changes, this is having a huge effect on crop production. As a result, her family has less food to eat and less produce to sell, resulting in her not being able to afford her children's school fees. The lack of nutritional vegetables also affects her family's health."
Helena went to Peru with Oxfam on this journey and her photographs will be exhibited in New York, Washington, London and at the UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen in December. A short film of the expedition, captured by award-winning Director Richard Bullock, will also be shown.
Helena says: "We are at a critical tipping point. We need to put pressure on our governments in order for them to take the necessary, radical steps that are needed to lower CO2 emissions. There's no time left, it is absolutely imperative to act now. Hopefully the only benefit of this UN conference won't be just a boost to Danish tourism."
Frank Boeren, Oxfam International's co-ordinator in Peru said: "Climate change in Peru is already devastating and we welcome Helena's commitment to show this to the rest of the world. Peru is on the frontline of climate change, along with other developing countries, which have played little part in causing the problem.
"It is crucial that rich leaders do the right thing at Copenhagen so that we can begin to stop run away climate change and protect vulnerable people around the world."
Notes to editors
Oxfam is a member of the TckTckTck campaign, an online and offline mobilization bringing together an unprecedented alliance of non-governmental organizations. These include WWF and Greenpeace, trade unions, faith groups and individuals to call for a new international climate change treaty at the UN Conference of the Parties in Copenhagen.

'Into The Unknown' is just that – an unplanned journey made on utterly unchartered waters, by two of the most unlikely of musical collaborators. That partnership has produced a bold, original musical statement full of unexpected moments, sudden shifts and towering pop songs.
After leaving his former group Empire State Human, iEuropean founder and electronic music stalwart Seán Barron found himself lost at sea and considering a voyage which he intended to take with numerous guest passengers delivering vocals. The project began with an auspicious pairing with Kraftwerk's Wolfgang Flür (2014's 'Activity Of Sound' EP), but Barron soon found himself drawn increasingly to the siren-like a cappella vocal he'd been sent of a song called 'Sweet Paranoia' by an actress and singer friend, Ruth Lalor. The iEuropean ship was taken hastily back to port, fully refitted and then set sail once more, this time as a fully-fledged duo.
Recorded between 2013 and 2016 in Barron's studio in Dublin and then after its relocation to Kildare, the stylish production of 'Into The Unknown' takes in prowling synths reminiscent of Alan Wilder's Recoil releases and Depeche Mode albums, disco-era strings, crisp electronic rhythms and occasional unanticipated nods to techno and dance music. This is modern electronic pop music which is both forward-looking and reverential, unafraid to experiment but entirely sensitive to history.
The consistent thread running through this album is Ruth Lalor's voice, full of bluesy angst and anguished emotional outpourings. Hers is a voice that belongs in smoky underground speakeasies and dimly-lit jazz clubs, all rich soulfulness and molasses-smooth tenderness. On paper, setting that voice to an electronic template would sound as treacherous and ill-advised as deciding to put to sea in the midst of a violent storm, but one listen to tracks like the rapturous nod to dance music on 'Don't Lose Control' or the unpredictable switches of 'Fire Out' and you realise that this is a calculated risk that has absolutely paid off.

I have this bottle of old perfume that I no longer use and is most likely expired, but it is still very fragrant. So I simply popped off the top, stuck a few rattan sticks inside, and turned it into a diffuser.
|Now my room smells really nice!
If the neck of the perfume bottle is too narrow to hold diffuser sticks, or if the neck is too wide that you're worried the scent will dissipate too quickly, try funneling the perfume into a more appropriate container.
If you don't have any old perfume you can use to freshen your room, try making your own reed diffuser.

Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling FuneralBook - 2006
From Sonoma to Manhattan, Katherine, Laura, Rebecca, Jill, and Marie will carry Annie's ashes to the special places in her life. At every stop there's a surprise encounter and a small miracle waiting, and as they whoop it up across the country, attracting interest wherever they go, they share their deepest secrets-tales of broken hearts and second chances, missed opportunities and new beginnings. And as they grieve over what they've lost, they discover how much is still possible if only they can unravel the secret Annie left them....

While the book was a bit repetitive at times, the message and playful story was still invaluable...made me think about who I'd send on my traveling funeral and where they would go! A book all women should read.
I enjoyed the book. I believe the message was that we as women need to take care of ourselves as well as we take care of others. Life is to be celebrated.
Recommended to me by a girl at InspireHealth...an alternative cancer agency in Vancouver. Gives a lot of thought on death of friends, animals, dreams...in a Thelma and Louise setting.
Probably one of the WORST books I have ever read. Completely implausible and way over the top. Blech.
Loved it, would make a great book for your book club.
This was a sappy, repetitive, unrealistic, shallow book. I think it was the writing style that turned me off the most. Were they lucky to have a friend that could spend a million dollars on them for her funeral???
Interesting characters, but sometimes the female bonding aspect of the book was a bit over the top.
Made me laugh and cry.

National Monsoon Mission
National Monsoon Mission (NMM)
Call for proposals : National Monsoon Mission
Earth System Sciences Organization (ESSO) of Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India, launched the "National Monsoon Mission" (NMM), a mission mode project with a vision to develop a state of the art dynamical prediction system for monsoon rainfall on all different time scales.
New Research Proposals are invited under this program (Date open)
Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Government of India is launching 'National Monsoon Mission' (NMM) with a vision to develop a state-of-the-art dynamical prediction system for monsoon rainfall on different time scales. MoES has bestowed the responsibility of execution and coordination of this mission to the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune. For this national mission, IITM is collaborating with NCEP (USA), MoES organisations and various academic institutions/organizations under NMM. Climate Forecast System (CFS) of NCEP, USA has been identified as the basic modelling system for the above purpose, as it is one of the best among the currently available coupled models. However, it has a moderate skill for retrospective forecast (hindcast) of seasonal monsoon rainfall and this skill needs to be improved to make the forecasts more useful. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop an Indian model based on CFS coupled model with an improved hindcast skill so that it can be transferred to the India Meteorological Department for operational forecasting. With this objective, To accomplish this task, MoES/IITM is inviting proposals from national and international scientists/organizations.

How will Accelerated Learning Help You
This course has near 4.5 hours of video and audio to help you make sense of the TOGAF specification. You can of course go off and read the specification on your own, but you will find the specification is written in a very dry (technically "correct") and difficult to consume format.
The primary focus of the course is to help you pass the exam by covering/revising the specific areas of the TOGAF specification examined. This will help shave time off your own study efforts but the longer term goal of the course is to help you truly understand, retain and apply the material in your career.
This is why the course contains Mind Maps, Revision Crosswords as well as 25 practice exams and knowledge tests.
In addition, there is a bonus 12 month follow up email series which will regularly get you to test your knowledge so you retain and build upon your knowledge. You are investing a good amount of time to prepare for this Enterprise Architect exam - it would be a waste if it ended when you left the exam room.
The accelerated learning resources and techniques in this course will help you pass your exam but more importantly learn faster, better and build upon your knowledge in the long term.

I am now offering Professional Grade Chemical Peels...
Chemical peels are an effective way to correct acne scars, address uneven pigmentation, improve the texture and tone of the skin, smooth out fine lines, and more. Chemical peels, also known as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) chemical peels, provide more dramatic results than light chemical peels.
What is a TCA Chemical Peel?
(TCA) chemical peels penetrate the skin more deeply than light chemical peels. In administering a medium chemical peel, the doctor applies a solution containing trichloroacetic acid to the skin. This chemical solution, which is custom formulated for each patient, works by removing the dull, damaged outer layers of skin — those affected by acne, fine lines, sun exposure, and other factors. In the week or so after treatment, these dead layers of skin slough off, revealing a new, smooth layer of skin.
TCA chemical peels are popular because they are an excellent "spot" treatment that can be used on any area of the body and can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. For best results, patients typically complete a prescribed series of treatments, with each treatment spaced two to three months apart.
