Google patents Project Glass motion-based theft detection, locks up if it feels 'unnatural' movement

We know that you're never gonna take your Google glasses off, but if some nefarious lout feels differently, the boys and girls in Mountain View's X lab have got you covered. The company has patented a system whereby the device can identify "unnatural" movements and lock the headset if it feels the violent motion of them being wrenched from your face. Even better, while your would-be assailant is making off with the $1,500 gear, it'll be contacting the authorities to ensure that they can't get far with their ill-gotten HMD. If nothing else, we'll won't worry as much when pre-order customers 782 and 788 go out of an evening.

7 Common Myths About Chronic Pain ? Health Hub from Cleveland ...

Many Americans downplay pain as an annoying part of getting older. In fact, one recent study found that we rank pain at the bottom of a list of health concerns including cancer, obesity, heart disease, alcohol and drug abuse, and AIDS.

But chronic pain is a bona fide disease that is on the rise, says Cleveland Clinic pain management expert, Joseph Abdelmalak, MD. Chronic pain and its treatments are frequently misunderstood and steeped in myth. Below are answers to 7 frequently asked questions from our experts:

1. Pain is a natural side effect of aging. Sometimes it can be. As we age, some ?nuisance pain? from physical wear and tear is normal. That differs from chronic pain.
2. It?s better to tough it out and just live with pain. Ignoring pain can have serious consequences, especially if you choose to self-medicate in unhealthy ways rather than see a healthcare professional.
3. You can injure yourself further if you exercise when in pain. Exercise such as physical therapy can be key to successful rehabilitation. Keep moving!
4. You can become addicted to painkillers if you take them too long. Actually, the risk of addiction is exaggerated. The incidence of narcotic addiction among chronic pain patients is about the same as in the general population.? A pain management specialist will ensure that you receive the right dose for the right amount of time.
5. You can get a heart attack from taking COX-2 inhibitors for pain. Heart attacks and other vascular problems occur in only a fraction of patients using these anti-inflammatory medications. The benefits may outweigh the risks for chronic pain patients.
6. Chronic pain can kill you. No, but it can have a profound effect on your quality of life. Certain severe situations may prompt suicidal feelings if pain seems unbearable. It?s critical to seek help from a pain management professional before despair sets in.
7. Dwelling on pain won?t make it worse than it already is. The psychological suffering that comes with physical pain can certainly make you more miserable. Dwelling on the pain in your mind can serve to emphasize it.

Keep in mind that managing ? rather than curing ? chronic pain is the goal of treatment. Pain management experts can teach you how to live a full, productive life despite chronic pain.

Futurity.org ? Nanogel hits cancer with one-two punch

YALE (US) ? A new mechanism for attacking cancerous tumors strengthens the body?s immune response at the same time it weakens the tumor?s ability to resist it.

?We believe this is a paradigm-changing immunotherapeutic method for cancer therapy,? says Tarek M. Fahmy, a bioengineer at Yale University and the project?s principal investigator. ?In essence, it?s a one-two punch strategy that seems to work well for melanoma and may work even better with other cancers.?

Tumors?in this case metastatic melanomas, or spreading skin cancers?are adept at overcoming their host?s natural defenses, in part by emitting agents that disrupt production and operation of the immune system.

As reported in the journal Nature Materials, researchers developed a new biodegradable nanoparticle that delivers a combination of two very different therapeutic agents to tumor sites, gradually releasing the agents into the tumor vasculature.

One agent, a large soluble protein called a cytokine, stimulates the body?s innate immune response. The other, a small-molecule inhibitor, interferes with the tumor?s ability to suppress the immune response. Other drug combinations are possible.

In tests on live mice, the double-loaded particle, called a nanogel, significantly delayed tumor growth and increased survival, the researchers report. They administered the nanogels intravenously and, in separate experiments, directly into the tumors.? Further animal tests are planned.

The main challenge researchers faced was devising a particle that enabled gradual, sustained release of two therapeutic agents with very different properties: the protein, which readily dissolves in the body, and the small-molecule drug, which doesn?t. Researchers describe the materials and unique structure of their solution in the Nature Materials paper.

They exclusively used components already approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This could potentially expedite future experiments with other ingredients and human trials, they say.

Support for the project was provided by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, Yale University, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the PEW Charitable Trust.

Johnson tops Matteson in playoff to win John Deere

SILVIS, Ill. (AP) ? Zach Johnson already was a member of the board of directors of the John Deere Classic.

Now he has another title at the tournament: champion.

Johnson won the Deere on Sunday with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff. His 193-yard 6-iron approach from the bunker left of the 18th fairway ran up to less than a foot from the cup for an easy birdie, enabling him to knock off Troy Matteson, whose approach landed 43 feet from the pin.

"I saw it bounce on the green and hoped it would kick left," Johnson said. "I couldn't see the golf ball."

Johnson couldn't miss hearing the gallery, many of them friends, as the ball crept within a foot of the hole.

"I liked that crescendo from the crowd," said Johnson, who is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, about an hour from the Quad Cities.

The kick-in birdie had seemed unlikely minutes earlier after Johnson followed Matteson into the water from the same bunker on the first playoff hole. Each settled for double-bogey 6, then went back to the 18th tee for another try.

Johnson's bunkered his tee shot again, but this time, he played one of the better shots of a career that includes a 2007 Masters victory and eight other PGA Tour titles.

"It's one of the best results," Johnson said.

When Matteson was unable to sink his long birdie putt, Johnson tapped in to secure his second victory of the year, adding to the title he won at Colonial Country Club.

While Johnson tried to downplay what winning would mean to him during the tournament's first three days, with the trophy in his grasp he admitted that it meant a great deal.

"It just feels awesome," Johnson said. "This tournament has meant so much to me and my family, from when they gave me exemptions to being a part of its board.

"I don't really like making things a bigger deal than what they should be. It means a great deal now that I've done it."

The duo had tied at 20-under 264 after Johnson closed with a 6-under 65 and Matteson had a 69.

Matteson had his best finish since winning the Frys.com Open in 2009, and needed a top-five placing to qualify for the British Open.

So rather than drive to nearby Rockford for a Monday pro-am and then fly to Mississippi for the PGA Tour tournament, he hopped on the charter that Deere has to ferry players across the Atlantic to the British Open. It will be his first appearance in the year's third major.

"It's a heck of a way to play a qualifier, for four days," Matteson said. "When I started this week I really didn't think about the British Open. It's fun to play (Rockford) and then go to Mississippi."

Matteson, playing with three-time defending champion Steve Stricker, led from the first round until a double-bogey on the 15th hole dropped him to 18-under, a stroke behind Johnson, who played a bogey-free, with birdies on three of his last six holes keying his surge.

But Matteson made up for his miscue with an eagle on the par-5 17th, sinking a 60-footer that drew a roar Johnson heard on the 18th green.

"I didn't know who the roar was for," Johnson said.

So Johnson two-putted for par and waited for Matteson, who matched him to force the playoff.

Johnson climbed into second in the FedEx Cup standings, trailing only Tiger Woods, and is fifth in the Ryder Cup standings.

"If it happens, great," Johnson said. "In golf, arguably in sport, they're some of the most fun and gut-wrenching tournaments you can play in. I love that."

Stricker began the day with a chance for a fourth straight title, but played himself out of contention by driving into high grass on the 14th hole. He settled for bogey after a penalty drop, then bogeyed the next hole and finished four strokes back, tied for fifth with Luke Guthrie.

"It was fun trying to do it," Stricker said of a potential four-peat. "It was fun, but I think it's the putter. This week it was hot and cold."

Stricker was attempting to become the fifth player to win the same tournament four straight times. The others are Tom Morris Jr., Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Woods, who has done it twice.

Scott Piercy's closing 65 left him two strokes back in third, and John Senden posted a 67 for fourth place, three shots off the pace.

Four Trends In The Public Technology Market

Over the past 30 years, technology companies have boomed, busted and boomed again. In 1980, the global market cap of technology companies totaled $50B, 1.7% of all global equities. Ten years later, tech market caps tripled to $176B. Then, technology companies entered hyper-growth, registering 140% annual growth rates for ten years surpassing $8T in global market cap in 2000. At its zenith, IT companies represented one-fourth of all equity value in the world - pure euphoria. At its post-2000 nadir three short years later, technology market caps deflated 63% to $3T. Today, the sector has settled: technology equity is worth $7T and represents 14.7% of the total global market cap.
