The lines between Internet service and phone service are blurring, and just as voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has shaken up the fixed-line phone business, it is now poised to disrupt the mobile business. At stake is a slice of the $550 billion in voice revenue that London research firm Informa Telecoms & Media says mobile operators will generate in 2010. The revelation in August that Google will begin providing free voice transmissions over computers, and Microsoft's announced acquisition last week of the VoIP start-up Teleo, show that...

But because she continues to complain of chest pains, doctors are reluctant to send her home. So they keep her under observation, waiting to see if anything happens. A 64-slice CT scan of her heart and lungs could provide enough detail to rule any of those conditions in or out on the spot...
Before 64-slice CT appeared on the scene, many physicians thought the future of cardiac scans belonged to a completely different technology: magnetic resonance imaging. Instead of X rays, MRI uses powerful electromagnets that are tuned to detect the hydrogen found in water--which in turn is present in most of the body's soft tissues. An MRI machine can produce astonishingly detailed images of the heart. Just as important, it can also determine how healthy the cardiac tissue is. For example, in a heart-attack patient, an MRI can pick out precisely which sections of the cardiac muscle...

My heels will come back to campus with me to go to information sessions and interviews as I attempt to bridge the gap between myself as a college student and myself as gainfully employed.
