From January 9, 2014... This investigation highlights the potential for CRE transmission following ERCP. Health-care facilities with CRE outbreaks should consider the possibility of ERCP-related transmission. If ERCP-related transmission of CRE is suspected, reprocessing and preventative maintenance procedures for ERCP endoscopes should be evaluated in consultation with the manufacturer of the endoscope and automated endoscope reprocessor, if used. In addition, expertise in the evaluation and prevention of CRE transmission are available at CDC and can be accessed via state and local health departments. http://www.infectioncontroltod...

... and instead focuses only on technical details such as sharpness, exposure and contrast. [... ] It also suggests that "perfect portrait" algorithms could be built in to the next generation of cameras, rather like the smile-capturing algorithms of today."
Algorithms that result in a properly exposed and in focus picture? I think that's been done.
... claims that the under 40s expect everything to 'just work'...
Because, in fact, most everything does "just work." And, the cost of the parts that need replacing makes repair uneconomical. And a new one does much more than the broken one ever did. And a new one uses less electricity. And who needs a crock pot anyway?
Wikipedia tells us: Skype uses a proprietary Internet telephony (VoIP) network called the Skype protocol. The protocol has not been made publicly available by Skype and official applications using the protocol are closed-source. Part of the Skype technology relies on the Global Index P2P protocol belonging to the Joltid Ltd. corporation. The main difference between Skype and standard VoIP clients is that Skype operates on a peer-to-peer model (originally based on the Kazaa software[83]), rather than the more usual clientâ"server model (note that the very popular SIP model of VoIP is also peer-to-peer, but implementation generally requires registration with a server, as does Skype). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...
Not quite ready for prime time. Drivers will likely have to take a slight detour to reach the station, which is in an industrial section of West Sacramento, next to a cement factory that is currently being demolished.
The station was originally planned at a Shell station 2.5 miles away in a much busier section of town, but building codes required setbacks too wide to fit the hydrogen infrastructure within the station.
Mao Zedong opined that "the only real defense is active defense", meaning defense for the purpose of counter-attacking and taking the offensive. Often success rests on destroying the enemy's ability to attack. This principle is paralleled in the writings of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T...
Rethinking Your Stance on Earthquake Coverage Californians have a well-deserved reputation for being in denial. We build our homes on flood plains, on brushy mountainsides, in the path of mudslides and on or near earthquake faults. Most of the time, most of us avoid catastrophe. But we should acknowledge that someday our luck could run out--and consider whether it's worth taking precautions to protect against the unthinkable. http://www.latimes.com/la-home...
All the bird related large aircraft (includes jet fighters) bird related crashes have been the result of flying into a flock of birds -- enough to clog the engine intake and cause the engine(s) to flame out.
... a bird. And airplanes hit birds on approach almost every day. Certainly every week.

... I'd get rid of football. It has nothing to do with education. It costs money that schools don't have (or so the teachers' unions and school boards tell us); it causes short term and long term health problems and it exposes school systems, school employees and taxpayers to expensive and potentially ruinous lawsuits.

So this "bug" went unpatched for at least a year.

I wonder how Star (Yamaha) motorcycles, maker of the Star Bolt, feel about this.

That's sort of like saying you can't measure the area of a room using a tape measure
That's exactly like saying you can't measure the area of a room using a tape measure. And it's true, as you acknowledge.
Why do you object to writing with clarity and precision? Why do you resort to insults?
Sensors can monitor only weather. They can monitor neither climate nor change. Both must be calculated from series of data points.
Of course it would be difficult to get a $433 million grant to monitor weather.

Separately but related, how much will the existing cell providers need to invest to upgrade their systems to 5G?
Also separately but related, will this make wired internet and cable (copper or fiber) obsolete?
All downside. No upside.
