Switched On: Big kicks not all for starters

Each week Ross Rubin contributes Switched On, a column about consumer technology.

The end of last week's Switched On left doubt for the future of dedicated devices that tread on the turf of smartphones. After all, funding is key to every major new product initiative and, despite the vast fortunes of many Silicon Valley engineers that have been accumulated via IPOs and acquisitions, few wish to take on the risk of fronting a new consumer device themselves.(In 2007, the handheld FlipStart PC was hatched from FlipStart Labs, funded by Vulcan Ventures, the investment arm of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.)

Most venture capitalists abhor the device business; it is a rare device that makes it to the spotlight of startup debutante balls such as DEMO, TechCrunch Disrupt, or Launch. Even most of the 94 companies at CES' Eureka Park were not developing end-user devices Where, then, can a device entrepreneur go for funding and pick up some publicity in the process?

Small Business Credit Card Security - Merchant Services

On April 10, 2012, Encore Payment Systems released a news release stating that they now have credit card security for small business.? When reading this at first I was wondering why that had not offered this sooner.? This is merchant services processing 101.

Yet, upon reading further in the press release I began to understand where they were really coming from.? What they are actually offering is the ability to audit your company?s credit card processing setup to make sure that you are PCI complaint.? This is a good and worthy service.?

Choice Merchant Services offers this as part of all North AmericanBanard merchant service deals for free.? Yet Encore Payment Systems takes it a step further by offering a $10,000 fine reinbursement guarantee:

The press release states:

Unfortunately, small business owners don?t always receive the vital facts when it comes to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) compliance. PCI DSS is an organization established to ensure that all companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. PCI Compliance is a multifaceted issue affecting great amounts of people in large and small businesses alike which is why Encore Payment Systems is now offering their merchants to become PCI DSS compliant.

Encore?s compliance team helps merchants to become compliant, scans computers for any data vulnerabilities and will cover small businesses who have completed the compliance process with up to $10,000 in fine reimbursements from a security breach event.

Arthritis Symptoms and Natural Remedies for Arthritis

The word arthritis come from the Greek arthron meaning ?joint? and the Latin itis meaning ?inflammation?.

The plural of arthritis is arthritides. Arthritis affects the musculoskeletal system, specially the joints. It is the main cause of disability among people over fifty-five years of age in developed countries.

Arthritis is a joint disorder feature inflammation. A joint is an area of the body where two bones meet. A joint functions to allow group of the body parts it connects. Arthritis literally means irritation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain.

For more information please visit himalayahomeremedies.com

A diagnosis of arthritis is made after an assessment of symptoms, a physical examination and one or more diagnostic imaging tests. Unfortunately, most types of arthritis are currently incurable ? but today?s handling options can be very effective.

Treatment typically involves a recipe of anti-inflammatory medication and devices to relieve stress on the joint (canes, crutches or splints).

Regular exercise, weight loss for round patients, and cortisone injections may also be helpful.

In severe cases, orthopedic surgery such as joint replacement may be the only way to improve or restore function and relieve pain.?

Arthritis Treatment

Moreover you should tell your doctor about all the medicines that you have been taking before opting for Arthritis medication.

http://www.himalayahomeremedies.com/homeremedies_arthritis.htm

This helps in plummeting the side effects of the drugs and to avoid harmful reactions between the drugs that may occur. Many drugs are reserved for short period in order to bring about temporary relief or to control intense flares.

There are different arthritis cure options for you. Most persons who are suffering from Arthritis do not need surgery for complete cure.

But in cases where the symptom are very painful and hamper daily activity totally then a surgery can drastically cut down pain and helps the person to recover from Arthritis.

Surgery generally involves removal of the damaged or chronically inflamed tissue or in some cases by replacing the join completely with an artificial joint.

Home Remedies for Arthritis?

1. A gentle massage with olive oil (warm) helps make well arthritic pains. Hot vinegar can also be used.

2. Regularly taking one cup of hot water with two teaspoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder two times a day can show encouraging results within a month.

3. Take one teaspoon of sandalwood powder and add water just enough to make a paste and apply on the affected area.

4. Dandelion leaf and dandelion root recover the functioning of kidney and liver respectively, thereby curing arthritic symptoms happening due to the abnormal functioning of kidney and liver.

5. Boswellia herb is beneficial in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

6. Mix 2-3 pieces of camphor inside warm coconut oil or mustard oil. Massage the stiff and aching joints with this mixture to increase blood supply and reduce inflammation and stiffness.

7. Taking green gram soup two times on a daily basis is yet another effective home remedy for arthritic pains. To get ready this soup, mix one tablespoon of green gram in a cup of water and add two crushed garlic cloves in it.

8. The magnesium present in Epsom Salt soothes and relaxes stiff joints and muscles. Add three cups of Epsom Salt in hot bath water and soak in it.

New early warning system for seizures could lead to fewer false alarms

ScienceDaily (Apr. 3, 2012) ? Epilepsy affects 50 million people worldwide, but in a third of these cases, medication cannot keep seizures from occurring. One solution is to shoot a short pulse of electricity to the brain to stamp out the seizure just as it begins to erupt. But brain implants designed to do this have run into a stubborn problem: too many false alarms, triggering unneeded treatment. To solve this, Johns Hopkins biomedical engineers have devised new seizure detection software that, in early testing, significantly cuts the number of unneeded pulses of current that an epilepsy patient would receive.

Sridevi V. Sarma, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, is leading this effort to improve anti-seizure technology that sends small amounts of current into the brain to control seizures.

"These devices use algorithms -- a series of mathematical steps --to figure out when to administer the treatment," Sarma said. "They're very good at detecting when a seizure is about to happen, but they also produce lots of false positives, sometimes hundreds in one day. If you introduce electric current to the brain too often, we don't know what the health impacts might be. Also, too many false alarms can shorten the life of the battery that powers the device, which must be replaced surgically."

Her new software was tested on real-time brain activity recordings collected from four patients with drug-resistant epilepsy who experienced seizures while being monitored. In a study published recently in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior, Sarma's team reported that its system yielded superior results, including flawless detection of actual seizures and up to 80 percent fewer alarms when a seizure was not occurring. Although the testing was not conducted on patients in a clinical setting, the results were promising.

"We're making great progress in developing software that is sensitive enough to detect imminent seizures without setting off a large number of false alarms," Sarma said. Further fine-tuning is under way, using brain recordings from more than 100 epilepsy patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where several epilepsy physicians have joined in the research. Sarma said that within two to four years she hopes to see her system incorporated into a brain implant that can be tested on people with drug-resistant epilepsy.

"There is growing interest in applying responsive, or closed-loop, therapy for the treatment of epileptic seizures," said Gregory K. Bergey, M.D., professor of neurology and director of the Johns Hopkins Epilepsy Center. "Devices to do this have been tested in humans, but for this therapy to be useful for the patient with epilepsy requires early detection of abnormal brain activity that is destined to become a seizure. Detection has to be within seconds of seizure onset, before the seizure spreads to cause disabling symptoms such as alteration of consciousness."

He added, "Developing detection methods that can both provide this early detection and yet not be triggered by brain activity that will not become a clinical seizure has been a real challenge. Dr. Sarma's group appreciates how important this is. The application of their detection algorithms has produced promising preliminary results that warrant further study of more seizures in more patients."

In trying to solve the seizure false-alarm problem, Sarma drew on her training in electrical engineering, particularly a discipline called control theory. "We decided to start with the origin of the signal in the brain," she said.

Sarma's team compared electrical data from the brains of epilepsy patients before, during and after seizures. The researchers looked at how this activity changed over time, particularly when a seizure began. "We wanted to figure out when would be the optimal time to step in with treatment to stop the seizure," she said. The team members "trained" their system to look for that moment without setting off false alarms.

Ideally, Sarma would someday like to see her software embedded in a microchip that would continually check electrical activity in the brain and launch electrical stimulation whenever a seizure is just beginning to form. The device would operate as a closed loop system, resembling a thermostat that keeps a room's temperature at a constant, comfortable level.

Sarma's interest in brain disorders developed relatively late in her education. She earned a bachelor's degree from Cornell University in electrical engineering, then master's and doctoral degrees at MIT, both in electrical engineering and computer science. During her doctoral studies, however, she pursued a minor in neuroscience. For a class, she conducted a case study of her aunt, who had developed Parkinson's disease at age 29 and had trouble managing it with medication. Watching her aunt's condition was an emotionally draining experience, Sarma said, and she wondered if anything in her own training could help. "I really wanted to understand the neurobiological circuitry of this disease," she said.

That led Sarma to learn more about deep brain stimulation, the use of electric pulses to treat brain disorders such as Parkinson's and epilepsy. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in MIT's Brain and Cognitive Sciences Department and became a neuroscience research associate affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

In 2009, Sarma joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins' Department of Biomedical Engineering, which is shared by the School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering. She also is a core faculty member in the university's Institute for Computational Medicine. In 2011, Sarma was named a recipient of a Faculty Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation.

Her team's new system for seizure detection with reduced false alarms is protected by a patent obtained through the Johns Hopkins Technology Transfer office.

'Modern Warfare 3' players planning protest

2 hrs.

Are you a fan of "Call of Duty: Modern?Warfare?3" who is angry and annoyed with a game that has yet to stack up? Well, save the date: April 20. That's when some players are organizing a blackout protest, aimed at Infinity Ward and Activision, the game's developer and publisher?respectively.

The following video, which surfaced last week and has been gathering steam ever since, illustrates the reasons why some "Modern Warfare 3" players are so angry, and why they are being asked to not touch the game for 24 hours later this month:

The list of grievances includes long-standing bugs that have yet to be fixed and features that have either been promised but not yet delivered, or are glaring omissions when compared with other first-person shooters on the market.

One major source of frustration has been the frequency in which Infinity Ward and Activision provides downloadable content for "Modern Warfare 3," along with its aggressive price structure, the?controversial?subscription based service known as "Call of Duty ELITE."

"ELITE" provides a wealth of DLC in a bundle for a discounted price of $50, but it's still considered steep, and practically the price of a new game. It also provides features that are only available for paid member, some of which is offered for free in other titles.

The core complaints stem from the contant updates, and thus the constant need to nickel and dime its customers,?while still ignoring issues with the core experience since day one.

As expected, many are wondering how effective such a protest will be. Other have also noticed the date itself, 4/20, which is often associated by some as the time of day they use marijuana. That's another reason some question if such an initiative should be taken seriously in the first place.
