Daily Update 05/24/2007

Hello and welcome to my page

I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do. Most topics posted on this page will becompletely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.

Canadian researchers say they have developed the most detailed model of a human yet, a movable "4D" image that doctor scan use to plan complex surgery or showpatients what ailments look like inside their bodies.

Called CAVEman, the larger-than-life computer image encompasses more than 3,000 distinct body parts, all viewed in a booth that gives the image height, width anddepth, the researchers said on Wednesday.

CAVEman also plots the passage of time -- the fourth "D."
Scientists can layer on the unique visuals of patients, such as magnetic resonance images, CAT scans and X-Rays, giving physicians high-resolution views of the innerworkings of the body while it appears to float within arm's reach.

It will help researchers study the genetics of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, muscular sclerosis and Alzheimer's, said officials at the University of Calgary Faculty ofMedicine, which has worked on the system for six years.

"Today, this kind of a model is unique in the world. It's the only one that is complete," said Christoph Sensen, director of the medical school's Sun Center of Excellence forVisual Genomics.

"We have components of models. We could make this thing with 50 different brains because everybody makes their own brain model. What we didn't have was a whole,complete body."
CAVEman is an offshoot of a 3D virtual reality "Cave," a C$6 million ($5.5 million) lab the Sun Center opened in 2002 in conjunction with Sun Microsystems Inc.

The model started partly due to a desire among massage therapy teachers at a company in the central Alberta city of RedDeer for a more intricate picture of muscles andbones.
It cost somewhere between C$500,000 and C$2 million. "It's very hard to guess, because it has taken many years, especially in Red Deer, with at least one or two artistsconstantly employed," Sensen said.

CAVEman, seen through 3D glasses in a booth, appears to stand in front of the viewer. As in a video game, the controller can manipulate it and focus on body parts -- skin,bones, muscles, organs and veins.
"We say that killing monsters is fun, but curing cancer is more important," Andrei Turinsky, a mathematician and computer scientist, said as he moved the model aroundusing a joystick.
The closer the image gets, the further into the body the viewer appears to travel. It is difficult to resist trying to touch it.

The image can also be loaded on to regular computers, to be viewed off site.
The medical community will benefit by being able to merge patients' diagnostic results -- such as computerized internal images and blood tests -- in one place, allowingspecialists to work together more closely, Sensen said.

In addition, surgeons can use it instead of cadavers as teaching tool, and to plan surgeries before conducting them.
Patients will also gain much more understanding about their own conditions, he said.
"We want to do this so any patient can walk up to a machine with a surgeon in tow who says, 'This is what it looked like six weeks ago and this is what it looked liketoday. You better get surgery now'."

Next steps include developing versions to sell to hospitals around the world, and adding a touch element to the image.

Hey, it's Daniel from TMZ here, back with another edition of the "Lost" Diary. Earlier this year, I wrote that there are four times when I am super-mega excited for an episodeof "Lost": a season premiere, a season finale, the week after a great episode and the week after a terrible one. I need to add a fifth instance: when the seasonfinales of "24" and "Heroes” suck. Such a total letdown on both fronts. I was angry about "Heroes" for two days straight -- all that buildup was for that? Verydisappointed. Needless to say, if "Lost" doesn't deliver the goods I am going to have to be severely medicated for my own protection. For all you "Lost" Diary newbie's,here's how it goes. I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost,” writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way.This week the crew is Ari, Lauren, Marisa, April, Matt and Michelle (making her debut). It's two hours of "Lost" goodness tonight.

Let's roll: 9:01 - Jack is headed back to Los Angeles (on Oceanic Air, mind you) and with a full beard. Looks like he stole it from Mr. Friendly's fake beard collection.

9:02 -- Moving along slowly, something in the newspaper has Jack broken up as he pulls over to the side of the road on a bridge. Is a failed suicide attempt in his future?Oh no, Jack -- please don't drunk-dial your ex.

9:03 -- OK, seriously, what has Jack so despondent right now? This whole thing doesn't feel right.

9:04 -- Jack's suicide is going to have to wait, as a massive car accident just happened. Someone we know, perhaps?

9:05 -- As the Losties prepare for the Others invasion, a few readers made a great point: if the Others are coming a day early, and Juliet marks the tents, won't they knowsomething is up since she shouldn't have marked them yet?

9:06 -- I was amazed last week at how many people said they don't like Rose and Bernard. They're awesome.

9:07 -- Subtitled goodbyes always get me. "Awwww, English." -- Lauren.

9:10 -- Naomi fell from the sky and has been in camp for like two, maybe three days, and even SHE doesn't trust Juliet.

9:11 -- Charlie is getting his ass handed to him by the LGBs (Looking Glass Babes). It's like "Lost" porn to me.

9:12 -- So whoever these girls are, they know Ben. That would make them Others -- but why doesn't anyone else know about them?

9:13 -- "You're inside a room full of equipment. There's a blinking yellow light above a switch. You flick the switch, light goes off, and you drown." -- Desmond. It can all stillhappen just the way he predicted it.

9:14 -- "But if Juliet told them about the Looking Glass, what else did she tell them?" -- Mikhail. So no one else knows about the Looking Glass. I still think maybe Richardmight.

9:15 -- The tents are marked a day early and the Others don't seem to care. Idiots. Gotta say though, I don't want to see Mr. Friendly die.

9:16 -- The room breaks out in applause after each tent explodes. Bernard held his own, but Jin didn't, and now he's being held at gunpoint. I thought that was Kate's move.Ohwell, at least they got a few of them before getting captured.

9:20 -- Jack's ex-wife looks a tad pregnant, doesn't she? That's got to sting.

9:22 -- Everyone's worried about Sayid, Jin and Bernard, but Jack's right. They have to keep moving. Though it would be the Jack thing to do to go back and rescue them.

9:23 -- Mark it down folks: the first time I ever truly like Charlie. I love that he's flaunting the certainty of Desmond's vision right in the LGB's faces.

9:24 -- Man, Henry Gale soundsnerrrrrrrrrvous.

9:26 -- (Shaking head) Oh Bernard. I bet they shoot him once he's done flapping his gums.

9:27 --Something tells me Alex is grounded. No hatches for a month.

9:30 -- Um, what's the temple? Kinda funny that the Others have a bunch of unanswered questions. Welcome to the club.

9:31 -- "I'm going to talk them out of it." -- Henry Gale. Ok, he's good and all, but he's not that good.

9:32 -- "And since when did you start calling me Kate?" -- Kate to Sawyer. I'm holding firm with my prediction that one of them dies.

9:33 -- Oh yeah, Desmond. Almost forgot about him. And now he's making his way down to the Looking Glass. Not sure if I can deal with another scene of Desmond tryingto save Charlie. Forget the fact that I want Charlie to die; they've done it too many times already.

9:40 -- Man, Jack looks likeshit.9:42 -- OK, I've got a few questions. First off, who is the woman from the accident? Secondly, when exactly are we? Because, and I knowthis probably can't be the case, but so far it sure feels like all this is happening AFTER the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. If not, where was Jack coming from and whydoes he look the Unabomber and what was in that newspaper?

9:43 -- Sawyer is a man with a death wish and he's going back to the beach to save Sayid and company, and it looks like Juliet is going to go with him. Lauren just calledJuliet a name I can't repeat.

9:44 -- "Don't wait up." -- Juliet.9:45 --Next up at the Looking Glass, Mikhail, sans the eye patch. Charlie is trying to play Mikhail against the LGBs and, again, I'm kindadigging it.

9:46 -- Mikhail is pissed and now Henry wants him to kill everyone. It's like, "Hey, sorry I lied on all these years, but can you do me a favor and kill a bunch of people forme? Thanks, you're the best." Only Henry Gale could pull that off.

9:51 -- "So, you screwing Jack yet?" -- Sawyer.9:52 -- "No, are you?" -- Juliet.

9:53 -- So not only are there no guns, but now Hurley wants to help too. Ari is convinced Hurley will save the day. Lauren thinks it will happen by accident.

9:54 -- "Why do you have to stop them? Why won't you just let them leave?" -- Alex. That's the million dollar question, ain't it?

9:55-- Ladies and gentlemen, the man you've all been waiting for. The man the island talks to. The man Jacob asks for help. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome backto the show ...

9:56 -- JOHN LOCKE!!!!! (Applause)

9:57 -- AND WALT!!!!!!!!(Probably not really him, but still)

10:00 -- "Because I love you." -- Jack. Make up your mind Jack: Kate or Juliet. Can't have both. Or can he?

10:01 -- Jack is still rocking the beard, still holding on to that newspaper clipping and headed to a funeral parlor. They are sure dragging this whole thing out.

10:03 -- Who's in the coffin? Apparently Jack is neither friend nor family to the deceased. I can't think of anything that could have Jack this messed up.

10:04 -- Anyone else notice how weird the music has been this week?

10:05 -- "Hello, Jack. We need to talk." -- Henry Gale. Oh it is so ON!!!!!

10:10 --Mikhail takes down one LGB.

10:11 -- But Desmond shoots Mikhail before he can kill the other one. Now Desmond and Charlie have someone that can give them the code.

10:12 -- Jack vs. Henry Gale doesn't have the same oomph as Lockevs. Henry Gale does.

10:13 -- Rockbottom Jack is struggling. Alright, I am just going to say it: since nothing, and Imean NOTHING is happening in this flashback, it isn't about WHAT happens,but when. Since this whole episode is about them getting off the island, I think this flashback happens after the island -- it's a flash-forward. The whole room inagreement.

10:14 -- "The woman you're traveling with, the one who parachuted onto the island from a helicopter. She's not who she says she is." -- Henry Gale.

10:15 -- So Henry Gale is saying that Naomi is from a group of people who want to kill everyone on the island, if they can find it. He's giving Jack a "damned if you do,damned if you don't" kind of proposition. Is he telling the truth? I say yes.

10:16 -- Now Henry is threatening the lives of Sayid, Jin and Bernard. Yet another no-win situation for Jack.

10:17 -- R.I.P. Sayid, Jin and Bernard?

10:18 -- Jack, we're cool. I kind of like you, when you're not being a whipped little mama's boy. But please stop hitting Henry Gale. We can't be boys anymore if you'regoing to beat my main man senseless.

10:19 -- "I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower, and I'm going to make a call, and I'm going to get them all rescued -- every one of them. And then I'm going tocome find you and I'm gonna kill you." --Jack.

10:23 -- "OK, Bonnie, we're both going to die down here, let's be perfectly honest. That one-eyed maniac just killed your friend and shot you in the back. It would appearyour glorious leader Ben put him up to it. Are you a sodding idiot? You have the opportunity to make Ben very, very angry. Why would you not take that?" -- Charlie.It's like last week they wanted to redeem Charlie in the eyes of all the women who watch "Lost," and this week it's the men. This is definitely the coolest he's everbeen.

10:24 -- R.I.P. Bonnie, but thanks for the code.

10:25 -- "Alex, this is your mother." -- Henry Gale. Reunited and it feels so goooooood.

10:27 -- Do you think Sayid, Jin and Bernard are really dead? I'm kind of 50/50, but ifI had to choose, I'd say no.

10:28 -- "Because I want him to see it. I want him to experience the moment we get off this island and I want him to know that he failed. And then I'll kill him." -- Jack.Foolish man, none of those things are happening.

10:29 -- Guess they're still alive. "THANK GOD!" Lauren just yelled at the top of her lungs.

10:30 -- Here he comes to save the day! Hugo Reyes is on his way!

10:31 -- "That's for taking the kid off the raft." -- Sawyer. R.I.P. Mr Friendly. Alright, my predictions have been terrible tonight, but here's another one (or at least anamended one): not only does Sawyer die, but the Smoke Monster (Jacob?) does him in.

10:35 - Rock bottom Jack is now stealing drugs. Jack mentioned his dad before, but we never saw or heard from him. Worth noting.

10:36 -- "Do you have any idea what I've been through?" -- Jack. Yeah, I think we do.

10:37 -- Another mention of Jack's dad, but we don't actually see him.

10:38 --It just hit me: this is all like the plot of "Return of the Jedi." One team takes out the shield (in this case, the jammer), while the other team destroys the Death Star(or uses the satellite phone).

10:39 -- "Yeah dude, I told you. I saved them all." -- Hurley. Don't mess with Hurley.

10:40 -- "So much for fate." -- Charlie. Wouldn't light the victory cigar yet.10:41 -- Penny?

10:42 -- Who is Naomi?" -- Penny. Uh oh, Henry Gale may have been telling the truth. And what is that banging?

10:43 --Mikhail lived -- again -- and now he has a grenade. Charlie slams shut the door to the communications room, trapping him self inside and keeping Desmond awayfrom Penny. And now, it's happening ...

10:44 -- I don't know what to do with myself. The words I have been longing to type and I can't bring myself to do it. Aw hell, yeah I can!

10:45 -- R.I.P.Charlie.

10:46 -- "Charlie just got us rescued." -- Naomi. Oh, really? Maybe Naomi doesn't quite know who she works for.

10:48 -- "We're here." -- Rousseau. Whenever those words are said on "Lost," cool shit usually happens next.

10:49 -- "I'll celebrate when we're home." -- Jack.

10:50 -- Locke to the reverse rescue!

10:51 -- Even if Locke shoots Jack, he's still going to have everyone else to deal with. Don't know how he's planning to pull this off.

10:52 -- Man they are setting this up to end really, really badly for the Losties.

10:53 -- What's with all the maps, Rockbottom Jack? Who died? When is all this happening? Who is he calling? Juliet maybe? Penny? Kate?

10:54 -- Who's in the car? I am dying here!!!

10:55 -- Kate, I knew it. Damn she looks good. Being able to shower on a daily basis really does wonders.

10:56 -- "Still pulling people out of burning wreckage?" -- Kate.

10:57 -- "Because I want it to crash, Kate." -- Jack.

10:59 -- "We made a mistake ... We were not supposed to leave." -- Jack.

11:00 -- "We have to go back!" -- Jack. So the whole point of Jack's flash-forward was to show us that Henry Gale was right -- whoever Naomi is with are the bad guys.

I kind of like the idea of showing us everything leading up to Jack making the rescue call, and then showing us that it all went to hell, without actually seeing any of whathappened in between. Since every season had a theme (the crash, the hatch, the Others), you have to assume that season four will be about whoever was on theother end of that phone. While there may not have been any "major" questions answered -- the numbers? Jacob? Michael and Walt? -- We did learn why Henry Gale does whathe does. Why does he jam communications off the island? Why does he keep such a tight hold on information? Why doesn't he let people off the island? Becausepeople are looking for the island and they want to destroy it. I've said it once and I'll say it again -- you have to trust Henry Gale when the chips are down. Hedoesn't lie about the important stuff. He's always right. Other than that, I am just going to start throwing out thoughts as they come to me: -- "Lost" was 120 minutestonight. Let's take away 30 for commercials, leaving us with 90. Of said 90 minutes, Locke was in two of them. Not a good ratio. -- Oh, and Jacob was in none ofthem.-- Are we done with flashbacks? Are flash-forwards the new thing? Or was this a one-time deal? Feels like just a one-time thing. -- Charlie, we've had a long history.Wish I could say I was sad to see you go, but after all the buildup, you literally had to. At least you went out on a high note. See you in another life, brutha.-- As forCharlie's death, a few people asked me, "Why did he close the door? Why didn't he swim out the window?" Because Desmond told him he had to die for everyone to besaved. He wanted Desmond's vision to come true, down to every last detail.-- I wish Richard was more prevalent tonight. Here's to hoping we see more of him nextseason.-- Can Mikhailever be killed? -- Jack referred to his dad a lot in the future. Is he alive? -- Is Kate with Sawyer in the future? Was Henry Gale the one who died?Who else made it off the island? This episode felt to me like it was such a setup for next season, I don't even feel like I could give it a grade. It would be like talking about"Kill Bill Vol. 1" without making mention of "Vol. 2."This episode felt more like a season premiere than a finale. That said, obviously it was amazing. So it's over, huh?Where did the time go? But don't worry, I'm not taking eight months off like "Lost" is. Over at TheLostDiary.com, I am going tore-watch Season 1 (and probably 2 as well)and post new Diaries for them every Thursday. I haven't seen any of the episodes since they originally aired, so I think it will be interesting to watch them again. Meanwhile,on Mondays, I'll be posting the Q&;A columns -- and I imagine this week's will be crazy. E-mail your questions to )

Daily Update 05/23/2007

Hello and welcome to my page

I am planning on posting daily things that I find interesting on the internet. I hope you enjoy these items as much as Ido.Most topics posted on this page will be completely random. Just various stories and news tidbits I have discovered today.

The first birth-control pill meant to put a stop to women's monthly periods indefinitely won federal approval Tuesday.CalledLybrel, it's the first such pill to receive Food and Drug Administration approval for continuous use. When takendaily,the pill can halt women's menstrual periods indefinitely and prevent pregnancies.

Lybrel is the latest approved oral contraceptive to depart from the 21-days-on, seven-days-off regimen that had beenstandardsince birth-control pill sales began in the 1960s. The pill, manufactured by Wyeth, is the first designed to putoffperiods altogether when taken without break.

The pill isn't for everyone, an FDA official said. About half the women enrolled in studies of Lybrel dropped out, said Dr.DanielShames, a deputy director in the FDA's drugs office. Many did so because of the irregular and unscheduledbleedingand spotting that can replace scheduled menstruation.

"If you think you don't want to go down this road, this is not for you," Shames told reporters.
Wyeth plans to start Lybrel sales in July. The Madison, N.J., company said it hasn't yet determined a price for the 28-pillpacks. The pill contains a low dose of two hormones already widely used in birth-control pills, ethinyl estradiolandlevonorgestrel.

A study showed Lybrel was just as effective in preventing pregnancy as a traditional pill, Alesse, also made byWyeth.However, since Lybrel users will eliminate their regular periods, it may be difficult for them to recognize if theyhavebecome pregnant, Shames said.
Most of the roughly 12 million American women who take birth-control pills do so to prevent pregnancy. Others relyonhormonal contraceptives to curb acne or regulate their monthly periods.

Some nontraditional pills such as Yaz and Loestrin 24 shorten monthly periods to three days or less. Seasonique, anupdatedversion of Seasonale, reduces them to four times a year. With Lybrel, in one test, 59 percent of the women whotook Lybrelfor a year had no bleeding or spotting during the last month of the study. However, because of dropouts, thattranslates into onlyabout one-third of all the women originally enrolled in the study, Shames said.
"Women who use Lybrel would not have a scheduled menstrual period, but will most likely have unplanned,breakthrough,unscheduled bleeding or spotting," Shames said. The bleeding can last four to five days and maypersist for ayear, he later added. Women who take other low-dose pills have reported similar issues.

Still, a women's health expert said Lybrel would be a welcome addition for the woman who seeks relief from theheadaches,tender breasts, cramps and nausea that can accompany monthly periods. Whether Lybrel relievesthosesymptoms was not directly studied.
"Over time she will experience markedly less bleeding episodes or no bleeding episodes," said Dr. Vanessa Cullins,vicepresident for medical affairs at Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc. "That is very beneficial for somewomen -and is wanted by some women."
University of New Hampshire sociologist Jean Elson pointed to advantages for what she characterized as a small numberofwomen who suffer extraordinarily during menstruation, but overall she said the pill left her with mixed feelings.

"For women in that situation, I certainly can understand the benefits of taking these kinds of medications, but for mostwomenmenstruation is a normal life event - not a medical condition," said Elson, who researches the sociology of genderandmedical sociology. "Why medicate away a normal life event if we're not sure of the long-term effects?"

In recent years, as the hormone content of birth-control pills has dipped, failure rates have climbed. The FDA isconsideringwhether to establish an acceptable failure rate for the pills. In January, a panel of agency advisers said less-effective birth-control pills should still merit federal approval if they promise other benefits, including improved safety.

Generally, lower-dose birth-control pills can reduce the risk of serious and sometimes deadly side effects, includingbloodclots and stroke, associated with their use.
The injectable hormonal contraceptive Depo-Provera also can eliminate monthly periods.

The city's yellow taxi fleet will go entirely hybrid within five years, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Tuesday.

"There's an awful lot of taxicabs on the streets of New York City," Bloomberg said. "These cars just sit there in trafficsometimes, belching fumes.
"This does a lot less. It's a lot better for all of us," he said of the hybrid plan.
Nearly 400 fuel-efficient hybrids have been tested in the city's taxi fleet over the past 18 months, with models including theToyota Prius, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the Lexus RX 400h and the Ford Escape.

Under Bloomberg's plan, that number will increase to 1,000 by October 2008, then will grow by about 20 percent each yearuntil 2012, when every yellow cab - currently numbering 13,000 - will be a hybrid.

Hybrid vehicles run on a combination of gasoline and electricity, emitting less exhaust and achieving higher gas mileage pergallon.
The standard yellow cab vehicle, the Ford Crown Victoria, gets 14 miles per gallon. In contrast, the Ford Escape taxis get 36miles per gallon.

In addition to making the yellow cab brigade entirely green within five years, the city will require all new vehicles entering thefleet after October 2008 to achieve a minimum of 25 miles per gallon. A year later, all new vehicles must get 30 miles pergallon and be hybrid. Bloomberg made the announcement on NBC's "Today" show.

Hybrid vehicles are typically more expensive, but the city said the increase in fuel efficiency will save taxi operators more than$10,000 per year. Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) said it would donate 10 hybrid Ford Escapes for the city's effort.

Shifting the taxi fleet to hybrids is part of Bloomberg's wider sustainability plan for the city, which includes a goal of a 30percent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030.

Mel Gibson had his rights violated after his DUI arrest and big, bad TMZ is responsible, according to California StateAssemblywoman Julia Brownley . Brownley seems to think TMZ may have actually bribed someone to get the criticalpages of the arrest report detailing Gibson's anti-Semitic tirade. Well, Brownley is an idiot.

The Assemblywoman, inspired by TMZ's Gibson story, introduced a bill which was unanimously passed by the StateAssembly, prohibiting the exchange of money or other compensation for information in criminal investigations. Here's theproblem, Julia: TMZ didn't pay squat.

Brownley said, "Mel Gibson was one of those cases where information was given out before his due process was executed."Huh? You may recall, L.A. County Sheriff's officials lied to TMZ and other media the entire day following the arrest,claiming it occurred "without incident." Officials ordered the arresting deputy to rewrite his report, eliminating allreferences to "f**king Jews" and other bad behavior.

So why is Brownley wasting taxpayers' money by pushing a bill with a totally faulty premise? Why isn't she interested in thefact that Sheriff's officials lied to the people they serve and manipulated evidence? How's this for a theory -- she representsthe district in which Gibson and other celebs live. We're guessing Brownley is banking on a big celebrity turnout ather next fundraiser. We're just sayin'...

"The paintball guns will be one of the weapons the riot police will use in case of fan clashes," police spokesman PanagiotisStathis told Reuters.
"The have the double aim of stopping trouble because they are quite painful as well as marking violent fans," he said.

Any fan covered with paint from a police gun, and not arrested immediatly, could then be easily identified and detained bypolice later.
Stathis said the pellets would not be used in the case of crowd trouble inside the Olympic stadium and could only be used inlarge open spaces such as squares and major roads.

Greece expects about 50,000 Italian and English fans, many of them without tickets, for the final in Athens.
This will be the first time such weapons will be used by Greek security forces.
