Know What Time It Is? Your Medical Device Doesn't

An anonymous reader writes "A man with one clock knows what time it is, goes the old saw, a man with two is never sure. Imagine the confusion, then, experienced by a doctor with dozens. Julian Goldman is an anaesthetist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. After beginning to administer blood-thinning medication during an urgent neurological procedure in 2005, Mr Goldman noticed that the EMR had recorded him checking the level of clotting 22 minutes earlier. As a result, four hospitals in the northeast had their medical devices checked, and found that on average they were off by 24 minutes. The easy solution that devices could have used since 1985? NTP."

Google Redesigns Its iPhone Search App To Be Faster And Prettier

Google today launched version 2.0 of its search app for iPhone. Google completely overhauled the design of the app, which now looks and feels more like the app's iPad version the company launched last November. The new version feels significantly faster than the last one and the new design works especially well for image searches. Surprisingly, Google hasn't officially announced the update yet, but it's already live in Apple's App Store.

Cheap haunts in Clarke Quay | Five Stones Hostel

In life, there are many things that make us happy ? spending time with family, chilling out with friends, awesome music, travelling to new places, reading a good book, getting a job, getting paid for the job and than there is food. A four-letter word in the dictionary that manages to cure most?of your problems. When paired with words cheap and good it becomes like an item sent from heaven to solve our rumbling tummies and cancer-stricken?wallets!

We know what it?s like to look into your wallet on holiday and think twice before eating something. It?s like opportunity cost. If you eat that $20 bowl of Japanese ramen for dinner, you would not be able to buy the Singapore Zoo ticket that we sell (isn?t that convenient!) for $20 and go visit the animals that you have been clearly planning to see for months.

Also, we?re pretty frugal people ourselves and we love discovering tasty and affordable eats around our area! Therefore, we present to you the few places that we?ve been da-pao?ing (Mandarin for ?takeaway?) our lunch from. We hope we try it and let us know if you like it, love it or simply can?t get enough of it like us!

62 South Bridge Road

Closed on Mondays / Opens from 7am to 3pm

Located on the opposite side of where our hostel?s at, convenience just doesn?t justify how convenient it really is! What makes this delightful joint much more appealing is the fact that every sort of noodle variety on the menu goes for just?S$2 a bowl! Top it up with an additional dollar if you feel like upsizing your meal. We recommend: Laksa, if your a spice lover your sure to enjoy this Singaporean dish ? it?s a combination of Asian spices with coconut milk, dolloped over with rice noodles, fish cakes, dried beancurd and topped up with a halved egg! Too sin-ful indeed.

• Nur-Hikmah Malay Food Stall at BK House?

92 Circular Road?

Closed on PH / Mon ? Fri 10am ? 9pm

Having absolutely no relation to the fast food joint known worldwide, this coffeeshop tucked along the side of Circular Road boasts a good few food shops that?s sure to make you drool with hunger! One of them is a Malay food stall (look out for the green signage) that sells absolutely smashing Nasi Lemak! For the price of S$3 a plate, you get a standard portion of coconut milk rice paired with 1 piece of deep fried chicken, ikan bilis (fried anchovies) and a spoonful of sambal chilli. The best way to eat it? Have a bite of everything at once, close your eyes and let the fireworks in your mouth explode with pleasure.

92 Circular Road

Closed on Sundays / 24 hours every other day

Located just next door to the Nasi Lemak store is the famous Bak Chor Mee (it means ?minced meat noodles? in Hokkien) it?s a popular eating spot for night go-getters and you?ll often see people flocking towards this joint in the evenings to grab a bite before going to party the night off. There are a variety of noodle options available for the minced meat noodles but the standard yummy option would be to say ?mee pok dry ? bak chor with chilli? Alternatively, if it?s a cold night you can always opt for the soup option and have it without chilli!

• Saizeriya Ristorante E Caffe at Liang Court

#02-22 177 River Valley Road

Open from 10am ? 10pm daily

If your looking for a place to beat the heat but not your wallet than look no further! Easily found on the 2nd floor of Liang Court (which is known to be a Japanese mall filled with everything & anything Japan related) this affordable Italian-Japanese jont offers cutting edge prices with flavor to beat. We recommend: Squid Ink Pasta (S$5.90) ? it?s not exactly the kind of dish you?d want to eat infront of a first date (hint: it leaves black squid ink dye on your lips and tongue) but it?s something that?s definitely worth a try if you haven?t had it before! The restaurant also serves up other good pasta dishes and has a SS$2.90 all you can drink softdrink offer.

Drooling yet? It?s time to hop off your chair and hop into theirs! :)

Modified wheat trial vandalised

21 May 2012 Last updated at 07:28 ET By Paul Rincon Science editor, BBC News website

A man has been charged with criminal damage following a break-in at the Rothamsted Research centre where a trial of GM wheat is being held.

Rothamsted said that crops had been vandalised, causing "significant" damage.

The incident took place on Sunday morning at the centre's test site in Harpenden, Hertfordshire.

The project aims to see whether the modified crops can deter aphids - a major wheat pest.

Rothamsted has previously pleaded with anti-GM campaigners not to destroy their experimental plots, which they say could help reduce pesticide use.

But opponents of GM technology claim that planting the crops in the open air would allow modified pollen to get out into the surrounding environment.

After the break-in at the site, Rothamsted scientist Toby Bruce wrote on Twitter that wheat seeds appeared to have been strewn onto plots, and the tops of plants had been cut off.

However, the laboratory said the account was anecdotal and might not be accurate. In a statement, Rothamsted commented: "The intruder caused significant, random property damage, but failed to disrupt the experiment in this attack."

The lab's director Prof Maurice Moloney said the act was an attempt to "deny us all the opportunity to gather knowledge and evidence" on a possible new approach for reducing the use of pesticides.

A 50-year-old man from Devon is to appear at the Central Magistrates Court in St Albans on 13 July.

'Picnics and decontamination'

The crop being trialled at Rothamsted contains genes synthesised in the laboratory. It will produce a pheromone called E-beta-farnesene that is normally emitted by aphids when they are threatened by something.

When aphids smell it, they fly away.

Anti-GM group Take the Flour Back has vowed to "decontaminate" the site unless the research is halted.

The event was trailed on the organisation's website as "a nice day out in the country, with picnics, music... and a decontamination".

There is no suggestion the man who has been charged is linked to Take the Flour Back.

Eleanor Baylis, from the anti-GM group, said in a statement: "We have no information about this incident, but are relieved if the quantity of GM pollen released from the trial has been reduced.

"The British people are clear that they're not swallowing this technology."

The protesters have previously declined an invitation from Rothamsted to meet scientists behind the project and, following a heated debate on the BBC's Newsnight programme, a planned day of action on 27 May will go ahead.

But a spokeswoman for Take the Flour Back told BBC News the group would be interested in engaging in a public debate with wide participation. She said the decision not to take part in the debate proposed by Rothamsted was due to the specific conditions of the event.
