In-Home Telemedicine Study Launched

Mayo Clinic, GE Healthcare, and Intel have launched a new initiative to study the care and cost benefits of home-based health monitoring for elderly patients with chronic illnesses.
During the year-long study, 200 high-risk patients over the age of 60 who suffer chronic conditions such as heart failure, diabetes, and lung disease will daily use at-home medical devices to take their vital signs, such as blood pressure, peak air flow, weight, or blood sugar readings.
The medical devices transmit the information to an Intel Health Guide remote patient monitoring system located in the patient's home. Depending on the particular medical device, data is transmitted to the Intel Health Guide system either via wired or wireless connection, such as Bluetooth. Then, the Intel system electronically transmits to Mayo the patient's vital sign data, as well as the patient's answers to several disease-specific questions asked via text or audio by the Intel system.
The Intel Health Guide system features a touchscreen for patients to easily answer the questions, which can be personalized by clinicians based on the individual's particular medical issues, said Ray Askew, Intel Health Guide marketing manager. Those inquiries could include things like asking a patient how many cups of water they've consumed that day or whether the individual is feeling better compared to the prior day.
The data is collected into a central Mayo database. Preset data "thresholds" determine whether a medical reading -- such as weight -- is within a normal range for that patient, said Dr. Gregory Hanson, a principal Mayo researcher in the study and a physician in Mayo's department of primary care internal medicine.
A team of Mayo clinicians, including nurse practitioners, accesses the patient data online for review via a dashboard. Color codes help clinicians recognize which of their patients are experiencing out-of-range vital sign readings.
"The system red-flags problems, "said Hanson. Yellow codes mean a patient hasn't provided data yet for the day, and green means a patient's readings looks within normal range.

Why electrons in low lying levels of individual atoms stay localized in their own atoms in a crystal? Doesn't this contradict Bloch's theorem?
share\|improve this question
1 Answer 1
They do not stay localized actually. It's only that their eigenstates (which are non-local) are very close in energy, and we can choose the basis of localized states and they would be close to eigenstates with high accuracy.
You can consider the tight-binding model, and take it to the limit of zero overlap of orbitals of neighboring atoms, and zero overlap integrals. That would be close to what low-level electrons in a crystal behave like.
share\|improve this answer
So if there was only one electron in the crystal with lowest possible energy (1S orbital) it could be found on all nuclei with the same probability? – richard May 9 '13 at 9:24
Yes (that would be the lowest state in the energy band, to which 1s energy level would expand to). But in that case the crystal would be unstable, because the average charge density would be positive then. To make a zero average charge density, you need to take as many electrons as protons in the nuclei. For the simpler model, consider 1 electron per 2 protons - an $\mathrm{H}_2^+$ hydrogen molecular ion. – firtree May 9 '13 at 10:03
and why these electrons couldn't conduct in Insulators if they are extended?(thanks) – richard May 9 '13 at 10:07
Ha! That's a great question! That's because all the band is completely filled with electrons, and it consists of a complete set of wave vectors (quasimomenta). Thus, there are as many electrons moving from left to right, as moving from right to left. The total current of these electons is zero, and such bands take no part in conductivity, just the same as completely empty bands. Only partially filled bands can conduct anything, and those appear only in metals, semiconductors and such. See Fig. 1 in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure – firtree May 9 '13 at 11:30
then by applying an electric field you can destroy this balance and have current! no? – richard May 9 '13 at 11:39

401(k) Pros and Cons
Jason Stipp: I'm Jason Stipp for Morningstar. As company defined-benefit pension plans become a rare species, the 401(k) has become many investors' primary investment vehicle. But they are not all cut from the same cloth. Here to talk about the pros and cons of 401(k)s is Christine Benz, our director of personal finance. Thanks for being here, Christine.
Christine Benz: Jason, great to be here.
Stipp: So 401(k)s can be a great vehicle for investors. In fact, it’s maybe the only choice through your employer for a lot of investors. There are some pros and cons you should keep in mind about investing in 401(k)s. Let's start with the pros of 401(k)s. You say one of the biggest is just the discipline that a 401(k) brings to the retirement-investing process.
Benz: Right. It's enforced discipline. Your contributions go in without you having to lift a finger except to initially get the thing going. So it does keep you investing in good markets and in bad, and that I think tends to serve as a safeguard against investors' own worst behavioral tendencies.
The other thing is that they really make it easy for people who are a little bit lazy about their investments. So you can add on nice features that can get your plan back into whack. So you can put in place auto-escalation in a lot of plans, so your contributions bump up if you get a raise in salary. You can also auto-rebalance if you want to have your portfolio periodically scaled back to your target allocation. So those are additional features that a lot of plans have these days, and they really make it quite easy to stay disciplined and stay on track with your plan.
Stipp: Another very important feature of many 401(k) plans is some form of employer match, which can really make your money work a lot harder.
Benz: Absolutely. So regardless of the quality of your plan, once you've done a little bit of homework on what the investment options are like, you do want to contribute at least enough to earn that match if your company is indeed offering one. That's something that you will not get, obviously, if you invest outside of the confines of a plan.
Stipp: One thing that a plan can bring to investors is because it may be a bigger company you might have access to funds you wouldn't necessarily have access to otherwise, or you might get a better deal on some of those funds perhaps?
Benz: Absolutely. So there are institutional share classes of mutual funds. They often feature very, very low costs alongside the share classes that are available to retail investors buying the funds on their own. So that is a nice perk for 401(k) investors. If they are in a larger plan where the management company has swung a nice deal on behalf of participants, your total cost load for owning that plan can be very, very low.
An additional thing, Jason, is that there are investment types that only appear within 401(k) plans. You won't find outside of them. So stable-value funds, for example, would be one option. The key feature there is that you do typically get a higher interest rate than you would earn on your cash, but you get all of the safety or nearly all of the safety of cash, or you get cashlike attributes, I should say. People who invest in the Thrift Savings Plan that is available to federal government employees have a nice option that is somewhat similar called the G Fund, where you have higher interest rates, but again a lot of safety built in. You will not get these particular funds outside of the 401(k)/403(b) plan confines.

IMF fiscal policy and income inequality paper
Oxfam spokesperson Nicolas Mombrial said:
"This is the final judgment on inequality being bad for growth."
"The IMF says it does not endorse particular policies for redistribution, but their evidence is clear: The solutions to fighting inequality are investing in health care and education, and progressive taxation."
"Austerity policies do the opposite, they worsen inequality."
"It’s concerning that the IMF does not identify corporate tax dodging as a driver of inequality. For growth to be sustained it must be shared more equally, and companies must pay their fair share."
"We hope this signals a long term change in IMF policy advice to countries - to invest in health and education and more progressive fiscal policies."

SqlDataReader.Close Method
Closes the SqlDataReader object.
Namespace: System.Data.SqlClient
Assembly: System.Data (in System.Data.dll)
public override void Close()
You must explicitly call the Close method when you are through using the SqlDataReader to use the associated SqlConnection for any other purpose.
The Close method fills in the values for output parameters, return values and RecordsAffected, increasing the time that it takes to close a SqlDataReader that was used to process a large or complex query. When the return values and the number of records affected by a query are not significant, the time that it takes to close the SqlDataReader can be reduced by calling the Cancel method of the associated SqlCommand object before calling the Close method.
Caution noteCaution
Do not call Close or Dispose on a Connection, a DataReader, or any other managed object in the Finalize method of your class. In a finalizer, you should only release unmanaged resources that your class owns directly. If your class does not own any unmanaged resources, do not include a Finalize method in your class definition. For more information, see Garbage Collection.
The following example creates a SqlConnection, a SqlCommand, and a SqlDataReader. The example reads through the data, writing it out to the console window. The code then closes the SqlDataReader. The SqlConnection is closed automatically at the end of the using code block.
private static void ReadOrderData(string connectionString)
string queryString =
"SELECT OrderID, CustomerID FROM dbo.Orders;";
using (SqlConnection connection =
new SqlConnection(connectionString))
SqlCommand command =
new SqlCommand(queryString, connection);
SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
// Call Read before accessing data.
while (reader.Read())
reader[0], reader[1]));
// Call Close when done reading.
