3D Ultrasound Reveals Baby in Color

3d-ultrasound-babyfor Discovery News 2013-04-18 21:31:25 UTC

GE's new HDlive ultrasound creates a clear and colorful 3D image of a fetus in utero. Parents get an excellent view of their child-to-be and doctors are able to see details that let them more accurately assess the fetus's health.

The technology creates a moveable virtual light source and uses advanced skin rendering techniques to create realistic color. The virtual light source casts shadows and creates definition, highlighting every detail, every bump and every fold.

The new technique makes conventional black-and-white ultrasound images look virtually flat.

Stephen Colbert Responds to 'Accidental Racist' With 'Oopsie-Daisy Homophobe'

Neha Prakash2013-04-18 19:54:21 UTC

Brad Paisley and LL Cool J made news recently for the release of a poorly-received new single entitled "Accidental Racist." In the song, Paisley suggests that people from the South are caught between "pride and blame," and that he is just trying to show his support for Lynyrd Skynyrd with his confederate flag t-shirts.

The song received a good deal of backlash for being insensitive and inappropriate.

And, of course, where there's opportunity for satire, there's Stephen Colbert. On Wednesday night's The Colbert Report, the comedian parodied the tune, and put his own spin on it. Instead of tackling racism, his song focused on homosexuality in a song entitled "Oopsie-Daisy Homophobe."

Alan Cumming guest stars in the song as the LL Cool J to Colbert's Paisley, and the duo will surely inspire just as much laughter as the original song raised eyebrows.

Dove Experiment, Parodied: How Men See Themselves

Stan Schroeder2013-04-18 19:48:58 UTC

We learned from the recent Ogilvy ad campaign for Dove that, when it comes to physical features, women tend to give themselves less credit than they deserve.

But what about men? How would an average guy describe himself? Try ...

"My mom said I have the most beautiful teeth."
"I have a balanced face, almost like a white Denzel Washington."

Of course, when girls describe these same guys, the results are ... a little bit different.

Just how different? Well, you can learn that from New Feelings Time's brilliant parody of the Dove campaign.

We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say the girls are even harsher judges when it comes to describing guys' looks than their own.

Gadget Turns Your Car's Steering Wheel Into an Electronic Drum Set

Reinvent-the-wheelCharlie White2013-04-18 20:40:35 -0400

Bored with driving? Now there's "Reinventing the Wheel (RITW)," a steering wheel cover that lets you entertain yourself by playing a drum set along with whatever you're listening to on your car stereo. And no, this is not a late April Fools' Day joke.

Made by the Smack Attack Corporation, the $149.99 device fits around an ordinary steering wheel, turning it into an electronic drum set that can play eight different drum sounds and a lot more.

The sounds aren't limited to drums. You can add any other sounds to its onboard storage, triggering them from whichever one of the its eight sensors you choose. The company offers a variety of sounds you can upload, or you can create your own and upload those. It can record all of your musical masterpieces, and you can even overdub your performances on top of each other.

The sound from the RITW is output via FM radio to your car stereo, where it can be mixed with the music you're listening to.

The sound from the RITW is output via FM radio to your car stereo, where it can be mixed with the music you're listening to. There's also a "solo drumming" mode where you can take a big drum solo on your own without benefit of musical accompaniment.

If you have a newer car, you can plug your iPhone into the car's audio system, and then the RITW communicates with that iOS device via Bluetooth. In addition, that Bluetooth connection lets you wirelessly add drums to any track you have on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The company also offers drum karaoke tracks, consisting of songs with the drum parts removed, and you can upload your own drum karaoke tracks.

This sounds like an elaborate toy for your car's steering wheel, but I think any device that takes your mind off driving needs to be carefully scrutinized, and is probably dangerous. In the case of this steering wheel cover, Smack Attack's inventor Gregor Hanuschak disagrees. He says his product is not the same as other driver distractions, such as texting while driving.

He told Mashable, "I've found (and most would agree) that tapping on your steering wheel does not require your full attention and definitely does not distract from watching the road. Your eyes never need to leave the road while tapping. Obviously texting requires you to look away from the road and that behavior is a completely different beast entirely." He claims the device "keeps drivers alert — this was the inspiration for inventing the product!" Another claim is that "sleep researchers are finding the best way to combat highway hypnosis is through auditory and tactile stimulation ... and this product provides both!"

But doesn't tapping on your steering wheel along with the music require at least a small part of your attention? When we visited the National Advanced Driving Simulator at the University of Iowa, researchers told us that anything that takes your mind off driving lengthens your reaction time and makes you a less-competent driver.

We talked with scientist Timothy Brown, Ph. D., who is a researcher of distracted driving at that driving simulator, about the "Reinventing the Wheel" steering wheel cover, asking him if he thought it was too distracting for driving. He said, "It's probably not one the most distracting things in the world, but if it delves into a game where you're trying to hit the right drum pad with the music, that becomes a little more complicated and needs to be considered."

Dr. Brown was careful to point out the many variables that go into driver distraction, including the skill of the driver, the driver's degree of fatigue or drowsiness, road conditions, the amount of traffic, and the degree of distractions inside and outside the vehicle. Specifically about this steering-wheel drum set, he said, "When you're following along with music, you are mentally engaged in some level. It does take your mind off the roadway."

He said, "Without some empirical evidence, I can't jump to the conclusion that it's a benign effect." But he added that there are many other distracting things most drivers do every day. Brown said he can't be sure if this particular device is distracting or not in all circumstances. "I'm not an absolutist," he said. "There are circumstances where you can do things that are above and beyond just driving. There is some safety margin in the driving system that people can accommodate. Everyone is different. Different driving environments are different. The amount of driving demand varies, and that needs to be taken into account."

Hanuschak, inventor of the steering wheel cover/drum machine, is aware of the problem of distracted driving, and emphasizes driver responsibility while using his product and other sources of distraction in a vehicle. He said, "Obviously, people must be aware of driving conditions and act responsibly. You don't take a sip of your coffee when you're taking an exit, adjust your radio or climate control when you're trying to switch lanes, or play with or look at your GPS while making a sharp turn. You shouldn't ever set your GPS while you're moving and you shouldn't set your RITW sounds while you're moving, either."

"He's right," said Dr. Brown, adding, "It comes back on the driver. I think we always have to keep in mind that the driver has to make smart choices. Even if you can do something in a vehicle, you have to make the choice of when you do these things. It's a delicate balance. If you're using 100% of your attention resources and the driving environment changes — say a kid runs into the roadway — that slows your reaction time."

"Reinventing the Wheel" will be a Kickstarter project, scheduled to be unveiled on Saturday, April 20.

What do you think, readers? Will this car toy reinvent the wheel — keeping drivers alert — or is it yet another distraction manufacturers are introducing into an environment where drivers are already enticed by too much "infotainment?"

"I'll send a pizza to any firefighter, police officer, EMT/paramedic or military serviceman helping in Boston," one post says.

Other users from San Francisco, Dallas and Perth, England posed similar offers: "Anyone in Boston who is hosting people with nowhere to go ... [I] would love to buy you all pizza."

In addition to assisting people at the scene, many in the Boston area are lending a hand and even opening their homes to help.

Nationwide cities have also shown support with tributes in newspapers and touching messages on buildings touching messages on building.

10 Touching Acts of Kindness at the Boston Marathon

Annie Colbert2013-04-16 18:54:13 UTC

In the 24 hours since the Boston Marathon bombings, amazing stories of kindness have also emerged.

From the first responders who ran fearlessly toward the smoke to the Bostonians who opened their doors to stranded runners, the Internet has found solace in reading and sharing the firsthand accounts of people who stepped up to help in a moment of tragedy.

We collected 10 examples of the kindness displayed during the aftermath of bombings. If you've seen any other stories worth sharing, please post in the comments below.

Former New England Patriots offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi carried a woman from the scene of the blast. He later released a statement that read:

"Marathon Monday should be about uplifting stories, personal challenges and fundraising milestones, but today's bombings irrevocably changed that. While I appreciate the interest in hearing our perspective on today's horrific events, the spotlight should remain firmly on the countless individuals — first responders, medics, EMTs, runners who crossed the finish line and kept on running straight to give blood, and the countless civilians who did whatever they could to save lives. They were the true heroes. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this senseless tragedy."

Carlos Arredondo, whose son died in Iraq, rushed toward the smoke following the explosions to help the injured. According to the Washington Post, Arredondo used the training he'd received as a fireman in his native Costa Rica to assist victims by creating makeshift tourniquets.

Redditor "Zadmxm" shared his story of rushing to help at the finish line. "To me, the possibility of getting injured is less important than the potential for helping others already injured," he shared on an AMA thread titled "IAmA 117th Boston Marathon Finish Line Volunteer."
