Iphone App Dev iOS 5 Concept UI Improvements cool

Visit my website! www.janmichaelcart.com Music: Elbow ? ?On a Day Like This? *The original music used for the video can be found at Vimeo.com here: vimeo.com Small changes, big differences. In this video, I demonstrate three simple UI tweaks to iOS that really improve functionality and use. 1. Wi-Fi Selection. Instead of a alert-style dialog prompting you to choose a network (you must decide what to do at that moment before moving on), a Wi-Fi banner appears, prompting you that there are available networks to connect to. Simply tap the banner to go to settings, or swipe down to easily connect to a network, WITHOUT EXITING your app. This same kind of notification style can be put to use for other alerts, such as low battery. Ultimately, the main goal of this tweak is to eliminate the modal, interrupting alert all together for iOS system functions (battery, WiFi, SIM card, etc). 2. Popovers. A simple iPad UI design that now appears on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Instead of context menus taking you away from your current window, all actions can now be performed within the popover. For example, printing. Reading lists can also be handled this way. But this doesn?t just apply to Safari. Any menu in any app that allows you to perform more actions appears as a popover. 3. Landscape Multitasking. Your thumbs will be on the right and left of the device, no matter how you hold the phone. So instead of the tray coming up on the bottom when in landscape, it appears on the side of the ?

Seeping Arctic methane has serious implications for Florida coastline

Monday, June 18, 2012

The ancient reserves of methane gas seeping from the melting Arctic ice cap told Jeff Chanton and fellow researchers what they already knew: As the permafrost thaws, there is a release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that causes climate warming.

The trick was figuring out how much, said Chanton, the John W. Winchester Professor of Oceanography at Florida State University.

The four-member team ? whose findings were published in the respected journal Nature Geoscience ? documented a large number of gas seep sites in the Arctic where permafrost is thawing and glaciers receding (they found 77 previously undocumented seep sites, comprising 150,000 vents to the atmosphere). Until recently, the cryosphere (frozen soil and ice) has served to plug or block these vents. But thawing conditions have allowed the conduits to open, and deep geologic methane now escapes.

The team studied the link between natural gas seepage and the melting ice cap, using aerial photos and field data to figure out the number ? and location ? of seep holes.

So, here's the rub: The more the ice cap melts, the more methane is released into the atmosphere ? and the more the climate warms.

Why should this matter to you?

People who live in coastal areas in Florida could be directly affected, said Chanton, who analyzed the methane and dated it to more than 40,000 years old.

All this seeping methane causes more melting ice, Chanton said, which causes sea levels to rise and could affect coastal real estate values ? sooner rather than later.

How soon?

Possibly over the next 50 to 100 years, Chanton said.

"Methane is a very strong greenhouse gas that's grown three times faster than carbon dioxide since the industrial era," Chanton said. "As the Arctic warms, the ice caps melt and the fissures open, so methane escapes and causes more warming."

This phenomenon causes sea levels to rise, which is particularly problematic in Florida:

"Along the flat Florida coastline, a 1-foot rise in sea level could cause anywhere from 10 to 100 feet of shoreline retreat ? erosion," Chanton said. "For us here in Florida, this is really important because we can expect the coast to recede."

That beach house, he warned, might be in peril: "It may not be there for your grandchildren."

Mache Seibel, MD: Father's Day Song -- My Old Man

My father, Tony Seibel, was a first generation American, born to immigrant parents who came to the United States for a better life. Dad became an All State football player for his high school and played football for the University of Texas. He served in the Pacific as a marine during World War II and afterward became a successful merchant in Texas City, Texas, the small town I grew up in. Although his sister Zidella became one of the first female graduates from the University of Texas Medical Branch, it was from my father that I learned some essential health tips that impact my life even today. As Father's Day approaches, it seems a good time to share them with you.

Exercise every day. Dad walked every day. He would round up people to go with him and walk down the Texas City Dike, a two-mile road that projected into Galveston Bay. Sometimes he walked along trails that the city provided,or if the weather was bad, he'd just walk though the house round and round until he got his exercise in. Before he walked he had a simple series of exercises to stretch his muscles -- touch your toes, holding arms out to the side and move them in tiny circles, sit ups. No equipment required. Just make the time, count the number you want to do and do it as part of every day for about 20-30 minutes for all of your life.

Eat to live, not live to eat. Dad ate basic, whole foods. Cream of wheat or oatmeal or a soft-boiled egg for breakfast with a glass of milk; a sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes or a bowl of soup for lunch; and baked chicken or fish or occasionally a steak along with a salad and a small dessert for dinner. No fancy and caloric sauces. No second portions.

Get enough sleep. Long before we knew that too little sleep led to an increase in diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, Dad made sure to get his 7-8 hours in every night. He worked hard and knew that if he was rested, he felt better.

Wash Your Hands. If you look at the directions for hand washing from the CDC, you'll find that hand washing with soap and running water is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid illness. Afterward he would use the paper towel to turn off the handles of the faucets and to open the doors before throwing the toweling away -- just like the CDC recommends. He followed their other recommendations on hand washing as well. And he was doing this before the CDC was founded in 1942.

Don't Smoke. For several years Dad smoked one cigarette a day when he came home from work. It was a way he relaxed for a few minutes. In 1964 when the Attorney General announced that smoking was linked to cancer, Dad threw away his cigarettes and never picked up another one. As he put it, "If those things can cause cancer, why would I smoke them?"

Incorporate Spirituality and Socialization Into Every Day. In his book Thrive, Dan Buettner explores the world's happiest people and finds that among other things, the happiest people have a sense of spirituality and socialize up to seven hours daily. Dad read from his prayer book every day when he woke up and loved to spend afternoons and weekends with family and friends in the pursuit of simple pleasures -- going to the beach, fishing, going out to dinner with friends, and visiting people in hospitals and similar places and spending time just making them feel good. Buettner also points out that only about 10 percent of our longevity is determined by our genes; the other 90 percent is determined by our lifestyle.

Sing Whenever the Feeling Grabs You. My life was filled with music; Dad saw to that. He sang at just about every opportunity he had, including singing wedding songs in his store to couples he sold wedding rings to. He would sing in any building where the acoustics were good and belt out "Fly Me To The Moon" on escalators in large hotels as he ascended to the top. Many studies have shown that singing can lower blood pressure, boost the immune system, improve breathing, reduce perceived pain, promote learning in children, forgo comforting memories and reduces stress. Music's many benefits is an important part of why I created HealthRock? which combines music and medicine to make learning to stay well fun and easy to remember. It's also the basis of why we create soothing instrumental music to help people relax and sleep. I just received word that HealthRock's "Sleep Tight" CD won CD of the Year from Creative Child.

Dad had a great impact on me and, as a result, on the thousands of patients I've treated over the years. He taught me how important it is to develop healthy habits that are part of every day. Incorporating these simple habits provides small differences that make a large impact on us over a lifetime. It's how we influence the 90 percent of our lives that is determined by lifestyle and allows us to live happier, healthier, more-vibrant lives.

Dad is no longer with us. I wrote this song for Father's Day in honor of him. I think many of you will relate to it. Enjoy!

Sleep And Diet: Too Few Hours Of Shut-Eye Clouds Food Judgment, Studies Find

Scientists have taken another big step in understanding why sleep deprivation can lead to weight gain.

At an annual meeting hosted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society, scientists presented two studies that used brain imaging to show how a lack of sleep can affect neuronal responses and make it harder for people to chose healthy food options.

"In general, we know that losing sleep impairs decision making, and we know that it impairs metabolism. What these studies show is that they're not two totally separate things," said Michael Grandner, who was not involved in the studies, but works as a research associate at the Center for Sleep and Circadian Neurobiology, part of University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.

In one study from the University of California, Berkley, researchers used MRI scans to monitor 16 adults who rated their desire for 80 foods after a normal night of sleep and after being awake for 24 hours.

The images revealed that sleep deprivation affects areas of the brain that help us sort through and weigh the many factors -- from how good food tastes to how healthy it is -- that influence our decision to eat a certain food.

"For a number of years now, we've started to realize that there's a potential link between sleep loss and obesity," said Matt Walker, an associate professor of psychology and principal investigator at UC Berkley's Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab. He said that to date, much of that research has focused on what is happening or failing in the body, such as changes in the hormones that influence hunger and satiety.

"What we're finding is that there are not only differences that occur in the body in terms of metabolism and hormones, but also a failure in the brain," Walker said. "It's a failure in the ability to integrate signals that help you make appropriate food choices."

In a separate but similar study out of New York, researchers used MRIs to track responses to images of unhealthy foods (like candy and pizza) and healthy foods (like fruits and vegetables) after several nights of just four hours of sleep. They compared those results to the participants' responses after getting a full night of sleep.

The images revealed that when participants only got a few hours of sleep, they had increased activation in the parts of the brain associated with reward and motivation. But when they got plenty of sleep, there were no substantial changes in the brain's activity patterns, suggesting that sleep deprivation may result in increased susceptibility to unhealthy foods -- as well as poor decision making.

"What's interesting is that these two studies overlap. You have two different groups, on two different coasts finding essentially the same thing, which is good," Grandner said.

He pointed out that the study's do have limitations -- chief among them, their small sample size. He said future research would hopefully include more patients and compare people who are overweight and obese with those who aren't.

Overall, the research could help provide a better, more nuanced understanding of how sleep affects weight and general well-being.

"Sleep is a very important aspect of health. We think a lot about how our diet affects health, and how physical activity affects our health, but we tend not to think about how sleep affects our health," Grandner said. "Hopefully these types of studies will help change that perspective."

Bradley scores decision win over Pacquiao

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? Timothy Bradley promised to shock, though the biggest shock in his fight with Manny Pacquiao came from the judges' scorecards.

In a fight Pacquiao seemed to have in hand, two judges decided otherwise, giving Bradley a split decision Saturday night and ending the Filipino fighter's remarkable seven-year unbeaten run.

Promoter Bob Arum fumed, the crowd at the MGM Grand arena booed, and Pacquiao seemed stunned when the decision was announced. Arum said there would be a November rematch, though he blasted the way the decision went down.

"I've never been as ashamed of the sport of boxing as I am tonight," said Arum, who handles both fighters.

Bradley came on strong in the later rounds, winning five of the last six rounds on two scorecards and four on the third. He won 115-113 on two scorecards, while losing on the third by the same margin. The Associated Press had Pacquiao winning 117-111.

"I did my best," Pacquiao said. "I guess my best wasn't good enough."

Pacquiao tried to turn the fight into a brawl, using his power to hurt Bradley in the early rounds. But Bradley changed tactics in the middle rounds and used his boxing skills to win enough rounds to take the narrow decision for the welterweight title.

It ended a 15-fight winning streak by Pacquiao dating to 2005 that turned him into a boxing superstar and made him a national hero in the Philippines.

"I thought I won the fight," Bradley said. "I didn't think he was as good as everyone says he was. I didn't feel his power."

Ringside punching statistics showed Pacquiao landing 253 punches to 159 for Bradley, who vowed before the fight to take the 147-pound title from Pacquiao. The Compubox statistics showed Pacquiao landing more punches in 10 of the 12 rounds.

Bradley was so confident that he had oversized tickets printed up for a Nov. 10 rematch that will now likely happen.

Bradley seemed hurt in the fourth and fifth rounds, but Pacquiao had trouble landing big punches after that. Still, he seemed in control of the fight everywhere but on the judge's scorecards.

"Can you believe that? Unbelievable," Arum said. "I went over to Bradley before the decision and he said, 'I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy.'"

Bradley said he hurt his ankle in the second round, and that trainer Joel Diaz said he could either quit or try to take the fight to Pacquiao.

"I got my second wind in the sixth round," Bradley said. "I worked the angles, sticking and moving."

Pacquiao said he studied Bradley on tape before the fight and wasn't surprised by anything he did. He said he thought he was in control of the fight and was shocked when the decision went against him.

"He never hurt me with his punches, most of them landed on my arms," Pacquiao said.

Pacquiao tried to brawl with Bradley and seemed to hurt him in both the fourth and fifth rounds. But Bradley started moving and counter punching, though he never seemed to land any shots that hurt Pacquiao.

Pacquiao had vowed to look impressive against Bradley after struggling in his last outing with Juan Manuel Marquez, a fight many thought he lost. And he did early, landing good long left hands while beating Bradley to the punch on most exchanges.

"He hurt me a couple of times with his left," Bradley said. "He's a beast."

Trainer Freddie Roach told Pacquiao after the 10th round that he had control of the fight, and urged him to fight hard the final two rounds.

"You have six minutes to go, son," Roach said. "It's your fight."

But it wasn't Pacquiao's fight, with Bradley getting credit for winning some of the close middle and later rounds. After the 11th round Bradley went back to his corner and trainer Joel Diaz told him he needed to win the final round.

"I listened to my corner," Bradley said. "I got to give him a rematch now."

Arum said there will be one on Nov. 10, though he thought Pacquiao won easily, as did most writers at ringside.

"I'll make a lot of money off the rematch, but this was outrageous," Arum said.

It was the biggest fight of Bradley's career and it came with a minimum $5 million payday. The rematch will be even richer, though Pacquiao's loss could damage any plans for a fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Mayweather did not see the fight because he is serving a sentence on a domestic abuse charge at a jail a few miles from the MGM Grand.
