Telemedicine Is Healthcare's New Frontier

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has reached a sufficient degree of maturity that it is now possible to envisage setting up a virtual hospital in a patient’s home, obtaining real-time teleconsulting and diagnosis from a remote location and transmitting clinical data and multimedia medical content from one location to a large number of geographically dispersed locations.[link]

Physicists Hear High-Tech Whistle While They Work

"It all starts with one slippery liquid helium-4. Ultra-cold helium-4 becomes a superfluid, meaning it flows without friction. The scientists squashed it through an array of apertures 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. The liquid whooshed faster and faster, until it reached a critical velocity. At that point, in a strange phenomenon, a microscopic quantum whirlpool dashed across each aperture, carrying away some of the helium-4's flow energy. This abruptly slowed the flow. The fluid repeatedly sped up and slowed down, creating vibrations that produced a whistling sound going from high to low.

A recording of the sound, called a quantum whistle, is available online at: http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/technologies/whistle.html."

Dj Tracer.com

As a follow up to an earlier post, Michael Sheinberg's website dj tracer.com is now up but still lacking anything in the form of content. I'm sure this is a direct result of his busy schedule and I'm wondering what direction he is wanting to go in. If the reality show, "Love is in the Heir" is scripted, is he pursuing more of an acting or music career? I'm curious to know if the designer behind this site is a mutual friend by the name of Todd. Time will tell. Dj Tracer[dot]com
