Audi S3 Sportback gets built-in LTE, available in other models this fall

First to market:
Audi brings the new LTE standard to the car

- Debut this summer in the Audi S3 Sportback
- WLAN hotspot and tailored Audi connect services

Ingolstadt, 2013-07-29 - Audi is the first carmaker to bring the fast LTE data transfer standard to the car with full integration. It can be ordered as an option in the Audi S3 Sportback from July, and in all other model variants of the premium compact from early November. LTE technology is very important for Audi connect, the networking of the car with the driver, the Internet and the environment.

The new LTE (Long Term Evolution) standard takes mobile Internet to a new dimension. LTE enables the exchange of large amounts of data via the Internet, such as music and films in HD quality. Commercial LTE networks already exist in many European countries and in the USA. In Germany, LTE is available in a few large cities, but is primarily active in many rural areas. The standard is expected to be available everywhere by the end of 2014.

To use LTE, a suitable SIM card with a data flat rate simply needs to be inserted into the appropriate slot in the MMI navigation plus unit in the Audi S3 Sportback. When the passengers connect their mobile end devices to the WLAN hotspot integrated into the car, they can surf the web independently of one another. For example, one passenger can participate in a video conference while another watches a video.

The MMI navigation plus uses LTE to deliver the tailored services of Audi connect to the driver ? from navigation with Google Earth and Google Street View to Audi music stream web radio and online traffic information. The community services Facebook and Twitter have also been made vehicle-friendly with a text-to-speech function and a text function with prepared text modules. In addition, there are over a dozen Audi connect services, including a text-to-speech function for e-mail and a dictation function for text messages (SMS). And the range of services is expanding rapidly.

LTE technology can be ordered for the Audi S3 Sportback from July, and for all other variants of the A3 family from November. Audi connect is the keyword for the brand's intensive efforts to continuously develop new networking solutions. New technologies are increasingly making cars with the four rings more of an experiential space. The LTE standard is expected to provide a strong boost to the seamless use of media stored on a server on the Internet (data in the cloud). Audi is also a major driving force behind the networking with other automobiles and the transport infrastructure (car-to-X-communication).

Daily iPhone App: Pixlgun 3D is full of surprises

TUAW writes, Even after browsing the description of Pixlgun 3D on the app store, you may still not know what to make of it. It looks like Minecraft, but it's a shooter. It emulates analog sticks on a touchscreen, but boasts fantastic control. And it looks cartoony, but offers a very real sense of panic and dread. In short, it's a game that will pleasantly surprise you on several fronts. Pixlgun 3D bills itself as a "survival shooter," and that label describes the game's action quite well. With no story or plot to speak of, you are tossed into a blocky world where you must defend yourself against a wide?

HIStalk Connect Interviews Josh Stein, Founder and CEO ...

Josh Stein is founder and CEO of AdhereTech of New York, NY.

Tell me about yourself and the company.

I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2006 with degrees in economics and finance. Long story short, instead of going into finance, I decided to enter into the world of startups. I worked for various early-stage consumer and tech companies for four years, then in 2010 I began my MBA studies at Wharton. I graduated from Wharton in 2012. AdhereTech is a company that I founded while I while I was an MBA student.

?

What were the other startups? Were they related to AdhereTech?

The other relatively well-known companies that I worked for were FreshDirect, PlaceVine, and Lot18. None of these startups were healthcare related. This is my first time in healthcare.

?

How did you get into the medication adherence business?

Both of my parents are in healthcare. My dad is a doctor and my mom is an occupational therapist. Years ago I asked them about the biggest problems in healthcare. That?s when they opened my eyes to issues of medication non-adherence.

In response, I came up with the idea of a pill bottle with a timer on top ? very simple. That sat in my list of business ideas for about a year until I started business school. In business school we did these activities called innovation tournaments, where everyone in a class submits an idea into a big list. The ideas on said list are then voted on in a crowd-sourced, bracket-style tournament. Thankfully, my idea for the timer cap did pretty well.

Then I thought, let me do a deep dive and see if this is a viable idea. I saw that other smart pill bottles, so I basically designed AdhereTech around the perceived downfalls of existing products. I wrote a business plan and worked with the University of Alabama ? Huntsville to build a working prototype. By the time I graduated in 2012, we had all that in place, and I recruited an incredible team.

Then I joined Blueprint Health, a healthcare accelerator program in New York, which is absolutely fantastic. After many months of hard work, we built a working prototype, won some competitions, lined up some trials, and put the pieces in place for potential partnerships. We have a really solid team, great advisors, and promising opportunities lined up in the coming months.

What does AdhereTech?s pill bottle do that the rest don?t?

There are three main differences between AdhereTech?s bottle and most similar products in the space. First is usability. AdhereTech has a wireless chip that automatically connects to the cloud and allows the product to be used anywhere, whereas most others use a hub model that requires user setup and restricts usage to a certain radius around the hub. Second is accuracy. AdhereTech measures the open and close of the cap plus the contents, whereas some others only measure whether a device was used. Third is access. AdhereTech is using a HIPAA-compliant open API, whereas some others utilize a closed system.

During the optimal dosage time, the bottle pulses blue. That?s the time the patient should take the pill. If a dose is missed, the bottle flashes red and beeps. At the same time, the patient will get a phone call or text message.

?

What happens if you don?t pick up the phone?

We?re still designing that system, but it will call you every X minutes. That would vary based on the disease and the patient?s preferences. This is fully configurable.

More of the diseases that we?re targeting, such as HIV/AIDS or cancer, demand immediate notifications to ensure adherence, especially when compared to something like hypertension. However, we have to make sure not to upset the patient. We don?t want this to be something that annoys people, so we?re very cognizant of that issue.

There are different pill shapes and sizes and some are square, some are rectangle, some are capsules. How does your technology work?

The bottle transmits two pieces of data to the cloud and this data is sent whenever the bottle is opened or closed. First, it sends a timestamp of the open and close of the cap. Secondly, the bottle also has a patented capacitance sensor built inside which sends a capacitance measurement of the contents. This allows AdhereTech to track the number of remaining pills at any given time and determine how many pills were removed.

Our server then compares this information ? how many pills a patient took and when he/she took them ? to the patient?s recommended dosage schedule. If a discrepancy is identified, such as missing a dosage or incorrect dosage consumption, our automated system will then intervene via a phone call or text message.

?

What?s your distribution model going to look like?

We haven?t finalized our distribution model, but we have a few options, and these vary depending on the exact business model that we pursue. Our ideal business and distribution model is to integrate with drug manufacturers and pharmacies so they can do all of the setup for the patient. Additionally, we could also send the bottle straight to the patient, but this would require the user to set up the bottle. We want to avoid that because it requires the patient to do something even if it?s as simple as pouring the pills in. Bottles could also be given to patients as they are discharged from the hospital.

?

How about FDA approval?

We need 510(k) approval. We will be a Class I medical device. We?ve already begun the process of engaging with FDA consultants to help us realize what we have to do. There are already reminder devices out there, so we are confident that there is a pathway paved for us.

?

When will you sell it to the general public?

We?ll be starting trials in the fall with a variety of clinics and hospitals. We?re hoping to start a major trial with a big pharma in early 2014 and release to the general public by late 2014 or early 2015.

?

Who else is involved in the company? I see two other pictures on the site.

Those are my two co-founders, both of whom are brilliant and great at what they do. John is AdhereTech?s CTO. He has dual degrees from Yale and joined the team after graduating with his masters in computer science. Mike joined the team a little later, but is undoubtedly a co-founder. He has an undergrad from Bucknell and a master?s from Ohio State, both in mechanical engineering. Mike spent the past three years designing jet engine parts at GE and overseeing certain aspects in manufacturing process. I couldn?t have found two smarter, harder-working professionals to work with.

?

How about funding?

Our seed round is essentially closed. As of today, we?ve raised $750,000. However, we will always make a bit of room for the right investor. Right now we are limiting ourselves to smart people in healthcare who are willing to commit more than just money.

?

Where are you located?

We work at the Blueprint Health offices in Soho in New York City. The Blueprint Accelerator program was incredible. I can?t say enough fantastic things about it. Now we?re also part of a new accelerator called Startup Health.

3 Nutrients Linked with a Better Night's Sleep

?

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but the U.S. seems to have become a nation obsessed with pills. If something doesn't work right, no worries, there's a pill for that.

So when we have trouble sleeping, naturally, we go see the doctor for a prescription. Who cares that we might try to sleepwalk?our way behind the wheel of a car? At least we're sleeping, right? Wrong!

If you ask me, prescriptions, especially those with severe and dangerous side effects, should always be a last resort.

There could be many reasons for not sleeping well, and stress often plays a role, but quite a few studies have shown that getting the right nutrients can help you get a good night's rest. Why not try eating right, before popping an Ambien?

Here's a look at three common sleep problems that have been linked to vitamin or mineral deficiencies:

Trouble getting to sleep: Magnesium plays a key role in the bodily function that regulates sleep. Insomnia is one of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency, and in fact, a 2006 analysis in the journal Medical Hypothesis suggests that such a deficiency may even be the cause of most major depression and mental health problems.

Bottom line: magnesium is an extremely important mineral. You'll find it in dark leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and Brazil nuts, beans and lentils and some types of fish. ?

Trouble staying asleep: Potassium supplements may be helpful to those who have trouble sleeping through the night, according to a 1991 study in the journal Sleep. Of course, although potassium is available in pill form, I prefer to get most of my nutrients directly from their sources by eating a healthy diet.

When most people think about potassium, they think bananas. Bananas do contain a fair amount of this mineral (about 10% of the daily value), but they aren't the best source. Beans, leafy greens and baked potatoes are the best sources. Avocados are a great source too ? good news for the guacamole lovers!

Tired during the day: There is a strong correlation between excessive daytime sleepiness and vitamin D deficiency, a 2012 study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found. The sun's rays are the best source for this vitamin, but not everyone can get the necessary sun exposure due to climate or skin cancer concerns.

There are a few food sources of vitamin D, such as swordfish, salmon, tuna and fortified foods, but this is one case where I would suggest supplementation. It's not likely that you would get enough of the sunshine vitamin from food alone.?

Monson: Utah football will dominate the Pac-12 ? or not ? in 2013

Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham, center, talks to the media as he is joined by tight end Jake Murphy, left, and defensive end Trevor Reilly during NCAA college football Pac-12 media day on Friday, July 26, 2013, in Culver City, Calif. (AP Photo/Jae C. Hong)

One thing Friday?s Pac-12 media day did was fire up a whole lot of people for college football, regardless of where their team finished a season ago or where their team is predicted to finish this time around. By the last week of July, yesterday?s losses had faded and tomorrow?s wins were vibrant.

Part of this optimism was provided by the league?s coaches, so eager to move forward, the big winners toward continued success, the middle-of-the-packers toward increased success, the losers toward any success.

Utah?s Kyle Whittingham was one of the more efficient presenters, doling out information to reporters as though they were players in his team room. Concise. Direct. Honest. He said last year?s 5-7 season, 3-6 in league, "ticks you off. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It?s motivation."

He added that the Utes being picked by the media to finish fifth in the Pac-12 South was of little significance to him and his team. "It means nothing," he said. "It?s something we don?t pay any attention to. The players glance at it and put it aside."

More from Whittingham in a minute. First, a few observations from and about other Pac-12 coaches:

Stanford?s David Shaw was articulate and smooth, half answering questions, half selling the merits of his program. When asked, off subject a bit, whether athletes should be given additional money for playing college football, he showed empathy for the needs of student-athletes, but reminded everybody that, at Stanford, those student-athletes already were getting a $58,000-a-year education.

Mike Leach reacted to questions about his old statements regarding last year?s Wazzu team being a bunch of zombies and corpses. He said those zombies and corpses had a great offseason. He also talked about his upcoming book and said that everybody should buy it.

Sonny Dykes, the new coach at Cal, said the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Pac-12 was a lot different than what he experienced at La. Tech in the WAC. He said the Bears would take their offense up-tempo, that doing so was not unsafe for players, and that Cal, coming off a woeful 3-9 season, 2-7 in league, was going to "surprise some people."

Washington?s Steve Sarkisian, also known as Seven-Win Steve, said his team is looking forward to better performances, better fortune and, at last, more wins. He?s gone 7-6 the past three seasons, which is an improvement over his first year (5-7).

Mark Helfrich sounded and looked like a man comfortable enough to have been stretching out on his Barcalounger. Despite being a new head coach at Oregon, he knows he?s got the fastest car on the track, a car he helped build and tune as the Ducks? offensive crew chief the past four seasons. "It?s an honor to follow in Chip Kelly?s footsteps," he said. It?s even more of an honor when you?ve got De?Anthony Thomas, who rolled for 1,757 all-purpose yards in 2012 and Marcus Mariota, an All-Pac-12 quarterback who broke the league?s freshman record for touchdown passes with 32.

story continues below

Lane Kiffin?s Q-and-A session lasted longer than anyone else?s. No big surprise. USC underachieved badly last season with a 7-6 record, 5-4 in the South, and, despite Trojan AD Pat Haden saying Kiffin?s job is safe, nobody believes that. The coach has to come up with a new starting quarterback and overall consistency that last year?s team lacked. Kiffin talked about the bevy of four-star recruits SC is bringing in this season and he admitted his team needs them.

Of all the coaches, though, Whttingham burned from Point A to Point Z with the most candor and clarity. He said Utah?s top three biggest failings from a year ago were "the throw game, red-zone defense and lack of takeaways." He talked about Travis Wilson and how desperate the Utes are for continuity at quarterback, something they haven?t had over the past four seasons. He also addressed how much quality recruiting has picked up since Utah joined the Pac-12, saying that many ? up to three-fourths ? of the athletes the program has recently attracted wouldn?t have come otherwise.

Utah?s in deep need, having lost so many players from last year?s team.

"[We] can?t wait to get back at it after the obvious disappointment of last season, not getting to a bowl game," Whittingham said. "It gave us a lot of time to reflect in the offseason. ? Offensively, we didn?t throw the ball near well enough. That?s the primary reason we brought Dennis [Erickson] in ? to jump-start the offense, the throw game in particular.

"Defensively, we?ve got some things to correct. Red-zone defense was awful compared to what we?re used to. Didn?t take the ball away nearly enough. Those are the two biggest areas that led to a very average year on defense. ? We?ve got some things to work on, without a doubt."

Two bits of buoyancy for the Utes, Whittingham said, are found where the rough stuff happens: "We feel we are much improved on the offensive line, and we will once again be one of the best defensive lines in the conference."

Take, then, what you will from Pac-12 media day ? optimism, pessimism or realism. In the final week of July, winning or even losing sounds better than no football at all.

Outdoor Activities Can Improve Your Mental Health | Psych Central ...

By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on July 26, 2013

For many, summer vacation is associated with getting out of a rut and enjoying the great American outdoors. New research among veterans now suggests outdoor group recreation can improve the mental health of our soldiers.

University of Michigan researchers believe participation in extended outdoor activities improves long-term psychological well-being.

Veterans were surveyed before and after a multi-day wilderness recreation experience, which involved camping and hiking in groups of between six and 12 participants.

More than half of participants reported that they frequently experienced physical or mental health problems in everyday life.

One week after the experience, veterans reported a greater than 10 percent improvement in several measures of psychological well-being, a 9 percent increase in social functioning, and a nearly 8 percent gain in positive life outlook.

In some cases, the results persisted over the next month.

?The findings suggest that extended group-based nature recreation can have significant positive impacts on veterans struggling with serious health problems,? said Jason Duvall, Ph.D., one of the study?s lead authors.

?Although more research is needed and many questions remain, the use of extended group-based outdoor recreation programs to ease veterans? transition back into civilian life seems to be a promising approach.?

The Sierra Club, a grassroots environmental organization, operates the Military Family and Veterans Initiative, which focuses on providing military service members and their families with access to outdoor experiences.

For the study, the Sierra Club wanted to know whether these efforts were making a difference in the lives of veterans. While both anecdotal and experimental data suggest exposure to green environments is beneficial, few studies have examined the impacts of these programs on veterans specifically.

?The Sierra Club knows anecdotally the mental, emotional and physical benefits that come from spending time in nature, particularly for returning service members for whom the outdoors can be integral to their reintegration,? said Stacy Bare, Sierra Club mission outdoors director.

?The results of the University of Michigan?s study reinforce these beliefs and support our efforts to make these types of experiences available to more people.?

Comments by veterans supported the survey conclusions.

?This trip helped me to reevaluate what?s important in life,? said Tim, a 52-year-old Navy veteran. ?It was nice to live a week without being ?plugged in? and take in the great outdoors.?

?It helped me to remember who I was and enjoy something I haven?t in a long time,? added Dan, a 39-year-old Army veteran.

Discovering a natural method to help veterans (and familes) cope with issues is an important objective. In response, a number of outdoor recreation groups developed group-based nature recreation programs targeting veterans.

Veterans may identify more strongly with activities outdoors that involve physical challenge, camaraderie and achievement of an objective ? experiences that are shared with their military service.

As a result, the approach used by these programs may be more appealing than conventional clinical treatments when it comes to dealing with mental health issues.

?The excursions are a supportive environment because in many ways, they recreate many positive aspects of the military experience,? Duvall said. ?They are outside, in a group, sharing similar mental models and, in a sense, on a mission. In that scenario, the impact of the natural environment might be heightened.?

The Sierra Club chose four partner organizations as part of the study group: Higher Ground (Sun Valley, Idaho), Wasatch Adaptive Sports (Snowbird, Utah), Wilderness Inquiry (Minneapolis, Minn.), and Women?s Wilderness Institute (Boulder, Colo.).

Combined, the groups offered 12 programs lasting four to seven days. The excursions generally did not include formal, structured psychological counseling or therapy. Instead, the emphasis was on the outdoor programs, from fly-fishing, kayaking and whitewater rafting to backpacking and paddling.

The study sample was 98 veterans. They were surveyed one week before, one week after, and about one month after participating. In addition to assessing demographic and background information, the survey itself measured changes in psychological well-being, social functioning, life outlook, and activity engagement over time.

Participation in the outdoor activities appears to have extended benefits including a new openness or creativity as veterans were more likely to take part in activities that involved exploration (such as learning new things or testing abilities) and helping others.

The changes in well-being were also particularly strong for veterans who had initially reported more severe ongoing health issues, with the magnitude of improvements often 1.5 times that of those with less serious health problems.

?Veterans with more serious health problems seemed to benefit most,? Duvall said.

Zynga stock drops after gambling plans fizzle

Zynga stock falls 17 percent in morning trading. Zynga says it's dropping plans for a US gambling license that would let it offer casino-type online games with real money.?

By Associated Press / July 26, 2013

The corporate logo of Zynga Inc, the social network game development company, is shown at its headquarters in San Francisco in 2012. Zynga will largely abandon its long-running efforts to build a real-money gaming business in the United States, a prospect investors once believed to be the struggling company's sole lifeline. Zynga stock tumbled on the news.

Zynga?investors cashed in their shares Friday after the company said it was dropping its plans to pursue online casino-style games in the U.S.

THE SPARK: The San Francisco company said late Thursday that it was no longer seeking the U.S. gambling license it would need to move into casino-style games, which are played for real money. The company still plans to test a gambling product in the United Kingdom.

Zynga?posted second-quarter earnings late Thursday and reported that it had trimmed its losses. The company has been cutting staff to reduce costs.

THE BIG PICTURE: Adding online gambling could have given?Zynga?a potentially large source of revenue that the company badly needs.

When?Zynga?went public late 2011, its games, such as "Farmville" and "Mafia Wars," were the most popular on Facebook. Things have changed since then. King.com, the maker of "Candy Crush Saga," has unseated?Zynga as the top social games maker.

The second-quarter results were?Zynga's?last under the direction of founder and CEO Mark Pincus. The company brought aboard former Microsoft executive Don Mattrick as CEO , who ran the Xbox video game business.

THE ANALYSIS: Mattrick is well-regarded in tech circles and there is some optimism in his ability to turn?Zynga's fortunes around.

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter sees changes within Mattrick's first 180 days at the company. "We believe Mr. Mattrick will act swiftly to focus on a handful of new initiatives and to right-size?Zynga's?staffing levels," Pachter wrote.

Zynga?did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

SHARE ACTION:?Zynga?Inc., fell 60 cents, or 17 percent, to $2.90 in morning trading Friday, then stabilized in early afternoon trading. The stock is down 63 percent since its initial public offering in December 2011.
