THINGS I HAVE LIKED I enjoyed seeing and hearing our Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice stand up promptly and tell North Korea's clown prince Kim Jong il that his announced test firing of a missile which could reach the continental United States "could be viewed as an act of war." We need more direct statements such as this by our leaders.
Beware of any politician who even alludes to the idea that he is telling the truth. That's like hiring a fox to protect the chickens.
You are, beyond all doubt, going to love your all-new "Smart House" as designed and furnished to provide shelter for you plus well-being and happiness for the rest of your normal tenure of time. Dr. Robin Felder, Professor of Pathology and his staff at the University of Virginia's Medical Automation Research Center (MARC), at Charlottesville, Va. are getting it ready for you. Dr. Felder describes his "Smart House" as being "in essence, a live-in medical monitor."
The vast major of seniors today would like to live as long as they can but and a much lower cost than it takes to do so today. The baby bloomers who are going be paying for sch care are also concerned about costs as well as quality of care given. Felder's "Smart House",as i is taking shape in Charlottesville,Va. seems to be one, good, sensible solution.
The house is wirelessly outfitted in accordance with the statistical requirements of each medical specialty area. A bed monitor,for instance, takes a series of sleeper movement during the night, measures pulse, breathing, position, temperature, humidity and other such conditions which are, in turn,forwarded to a central, remote computer for viewing by a staffer or by the doctor checking on his patients condition. At no time is the patient called upon to answer questions, push buttons, take pills or cause charts to be created.
"The technology is completely passive," observes Steve The work is closely incorporated with research work being done with by the University of Missouri at Columbia. They have forty-one such units outfitted and in residential use. The "Smart House" is for both seniors and caregivers. Get with the idea now.
