Human's Brain In IBM Chip!

Aug 7 (Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp unveiled a "brain-like" computer chip on Thursday that is the size of a postage stamp and capable of processing massive amounts of data while handling inputs from many different sources, the company said.

The announcement comes one month after IBM unveiled a $3 billion investment over the next five years in chip research and development to find a game-changing breakthrough that can help revive its slumping hardware unit.

Unlike most chips, which operate on pre written paths, IBM's version processes data in realtime and is capable of dealing with ambiguity, the company said. It runs on the energy equivalent of a hearing aid.

Built on Samsung Electro-Mechanics Co Ltd's 28nm process technology, the chip only consumes 70mW of energy.

Foresters UK Create Christmas Magic for Underprivileged Children

KENT, ENGLAND, November 15, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Every year, there are children across the UK who wake up on Christmas morning with nothing. Foresters UK, part of the international financial services organization, is proud to once again sponsor Bauer Radio's Cash for Kids Christmas Toy Appeal in 2011 to help keep the Christmas dream alive for these less fortunate children.

The Appeal which runs across the Magic Radio network and also Kerrang and Wave 105 FM, is supported by Foresters and asks people to buy an extra toy or present and drop it off to a collection point or make a 'virtual' toy donation on line. The toys and cash are used to ensure underprivileged children in the local area receive a gift at Christmas.

However, Cash for Kids have highlighted that there is always a shortage of presents donated which are suitable for babies.

So as well as offering financial support to the campaign, nearly 1,000 Foresters members have been making up some special gift packs for underprivileged babies at events taking place across the UK.

Alexis Bovington, Membership Development Specialist at Foresters said, "It's hard to believe that there are children across the UK, including babies, who have nothing on Christmas morning. The great thing about the Cash for Kids Christmas Toy Appeal is that it brings joy to those children. Foresters recognises the importance of family well being, not only through financial stability, but also through family time. These events have been a great way for our members to spend time with their families, whilst really making a difference to others. We are very proud to be part of this campaign and bring some sparkle to a child's Christmas." Read more

However, researchers at the Mayo Clinic and UCLA have recently discovered a more troubling potential side affect of TBIs: Parkinson's Disease. This chronic and progressive motor system disorder is characterized by tremors, stiffness of limbs, slowness of movement and impaired balance.

Neurologist James Bowers and a team of Mayo Clinic clinicians recently reviewed medical records of 196 patients. The Mayo Clinic researchers, investigating the prevalence of head trauma to the development of Parkinson's disease, searched for past medical histories of head or brain trauma in their study group. The Bowers-lead team ultimately concluded that patients who have experienced a head injury are four times more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than those who have never suffered a head injury.
