Kyocera DuraPro (U.S. Cellular)

The Kyocera DuraPro is U.S. Cellular's toughest cell phone. It won't break if you drop it?even in the pool. It offers good sound quality for voice calls, a very loud speaker, and decent battery life. But a dated interface and few features means it's only an average phone otherwise, and at $149.99, it's a little pricey for what you get. The DuraPro is worth a look if you need something durable, but if you want any other features, you can do better.

Design, Call Quality, and Direct Connect
Like most of the rugged phones we've tested, the DuraPro is built like a brick. It measures 4 by 2.1 by 1.1 inches (HWD) when closed, and is covered in a grippy, scratch-resistant, rubberized casing. It fit into my hand comfortably when flipped open, but felt a little too chunky in my pocket. The headphone jack on the right and power port on the left are both covered with attached rubber stoppers. There's even a latch on the back cover to make sure it stays locked in place.

The DuraPro meets military specification 810G, so it's resistant to dust, extreme temperatures, humidity, low pressure, rain, salt fog, shock, solar radiation, and vibration, among other rough conditions. It will even survive in up to three feet of water for 30 minutes. To test it, I dropped the phone on several different surfaces?from the rubberized floor of the PCMag Labs to the concrete street outside?from a height of five feet. The phone managed to flip itself open a couple of times, but didn't sustain any damage. I then placed it in a pitcher of water for 30 minutes, where it was still able to receive calls and snap photos.

On the face of the phone there's a 1-inch, monochrome 96-by-64-pixel external display that shows the battery life, missed alerts, reception, and time. Inside, the 2-inch, 320-by-240-pixel LCD looks sharp, though the color scheme is bland and depressing. The default font size is rather small, but you can make it larger. The phone's keypad, on the other hand, is excellent; the keys are large, raised, and backlit. There's plenty of space between each key, which should make it possible to dial while wearing gloves.

The DuraPro is a dual-band EV-DO Rev. A (850/1900 MHz) device with no Wi-Fi.?In New York where I tested it, U.S. Cellular phones use Sprint's network. Reception is average and voice quality is quite good. The earpiece gets very loud, and voices sound clear, though a little thin. The speakerphone isn't deafening, but I was able to hear it loud and clear over the construction going on outside of the PCMag office. Calls made with the phone also sound natural, with good noise cancellation. Calls were fine through a?Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset, and the Nuance-powered voice dialing worked without a problem. Battery life was solid at 8 hours and 22 minutes of talk time.

Interface and Apps
If you're looking for lots of apps and features, you're not going to find them here. The Kyocera DuraPro is a rather bare bones feature phone. As mentioned above, the key word to describe the user interface is drab. From the faded teal color on the home screen, to the black-and-white everywhere else, the DuraPro just looks shabby and dated.

The main menu features a grid with 12 icons. It links to all of your basic settings and functions, from activating Bluetooth, to call history, contacts, settings, and tools. It's dated, and requires many button presses to perform even the simplest tasks.

As far as apps go, you get the standards like an alarm, calculator, calendar, stopwatch, and world clock. You can also record voice memos. To browse the Web, there's an Access NetFront 4.1 browser for reading WAP pages; desktop HTML is out. The phone also comes with a voice-enabled GPS courtesy of Navteq's Your Navigator app.

Multimedia and Conclusions
You get 64MB of free internal memory, as well as a free microSD slot underneath the battery. My 32 and 64GB SanDisk cards worked fine, but you probably won't need anything that large, since media support is virtually nonexistent. The phone has a nonstandard 2.5mm headphone jack, but comes with a converter to connect a pair of 3.5mm earbuds. Either way, the phone wouldn't recognize any of my music files. I was able to play MPEG4 video files, at a tiny, blurry maximum resolution of 320-by-240-pixels.

The DuraPro's 3.2-megapixel camera has an LED flash, but no autofocus. It snaps photos quickly, in about half a second, but then takes a good 2 seconds to save them. Test photos look decent, with acceptable color and detail, though they're a little dark overall. The camera also records video, but it's terrible. Video files max out at a minuscule 176-by-144-pixels and play back at a stuttering 10 frames per second indoors and 15 frames per second outside.

Features aside, the Kyocera DuraPro is as rugged as phones come on U.S. Cellular. If you're looking for something very basic to make occasional voice calls, and you need durability, it'll work perfectly. But if you're more interesting in texting and other features, you're better off with a phone like the $40 Samsung Character. It's a lot less expensive, has a roomy slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and doubles as a decent music player. Just make sure not to drop it, keep it away from the pool, and you're good to go.

This invisibility cloak is thinner than anything in Harry Potter's closet

These microwave images show how an object looks in normal view (top row) and oblique view (bottom row) when it's uncloaked, and when it's cloaked by a metascreen. A free-space view of the scene is included as well.

By Alan Boyle, Science Editor, NBC News

If you liked last year's bulky invisibility cloaks, you'll love this year's fashionable ultra-thin invisibility wrap ? which is just a tenth of a millimeter thick but can still make the objects inside undetectable to microwave scans.

"This is the first time an ultra-thin cloak has been realized, much thinner than the wavelength," Andrea Alu, a materials-science researcher at the University of Texas at Austin, told NBC News in an email. "The approach is unique."

---

Invisibility cloaks have been the stuff of science-fiction stories ranging from the "Star Trek" TV series to the Harry Potter sorcery saga, but they're also becoming the stuff of science fact. The first real-life invisibility cloak was created in 2006, and they've gotten a lot better since then.

Alu and his colleagues describe what they call a "3-D stand-alone mantle cloak" this week in the New Journal of Physics. The research builds on past work with bulkier kinds of cloaking devices. The first invisibility cloaks guided light waves around hidden objects. Last year, Alu's group showed how a shell of plasmonic materials?could cancel out the scattering of light waves by an object, rendering it invisible. This week's research paper features a new kind of wave-canceling cloak that's much thinner than the shell.

The University of Texas researchers took a 18-centimeter-long cylindrical ceramic rod and wrapped it in what they call a "metascreen," a layer of flexible plastic film overlaid with a fishnet pattern of copper tape. In the visible spectrum, the wrapped-up object looked like a tube of kitchen plastic wrap. But when the researchers beamed microwaves at the object, their microwave imagers couldn't pick up the object's signature.

"The wave can pass through the object, if it is penetrable," Alu explained.

This image shows the experimental set-up for far-field microwave observations. The cylinder at the center of the scene is a ceramic rod wrapped in an invisibility cloak that's just a tenth of a millimeter thick.

Alu et al. via New Journal of Physics

A near-field experiment demonstrated that the rod wrapped in a copper-and-plastic metascreen was invisible to microwaves, even when the rod was inclined at an angle.

The researchers reported that invisibility effect was present over a moderately broad bandwidth, with optimal performance at a wavelength of 3.6 gigahertz. The same technique could be used to produce invisibility in different wavelengths.

"In terms of applications, radar camouflaging is one," Alu said. He said the technique could defeat advanced countermeasures for stealth radar detection, such as looking for the radar "shadow" of a stealth-concealed object. Alu and a colleague also have proposed a method for terahertz-wave invisibility, which could theoretically make objects invisible to airport security scanners.

Alu said the potential applications aren't limited to stealth and spycraft. "The main civil applications we have suggested for this technology are in the area of non-invasive sensing, biomedical and optical nanodevices for computing, and energy harvesting," he said.

Harry Potter might not want to give his old cloak of invisibility cloak to Goodwill just yet, though. The metascreen constructed by Alu and his colleagues will work only for microwaves, and not for the visible-light wavelengths that our eyes can see.

"In principle, this technique could also be used to cloak light," Alu said in a news release. "In fact, metascreens are easier to realize at visible frequencies than bulk metamaterials, and this concept could put us closer to a practical realization. However, the size of the objects that can be efficiently cloaked with this method scales with the wavelength of operation, so when applied to optical frequencies, we may be able to efficiently stop the scattering of micrometer-sized objects."

That means Harry will still have to keep the bulky old cloak in his closet ? unless he can use the "Decresplitudo" spell to shrink himself to a millionth of a meter in size. And if he can do that, who needs a cloak?

More heartache for Myles Neuts' family | Local | News | The London ...

CHATHAM?-?

The family of Myles Neuts was shocked to discover medical officials disposed of his organs before the family had a chance to claim them.

In 1998, 10-year-old Neuts was found hanging from a coat hook in a washroom stall door at St. Agnes Catholic School in Chatham. The Grade 5 pupil died six days later, after being taken off of life support, and a coroner?s inquest was held into the death,

His parents, Mike and Brenda Neuts, recently saw a newspaper notice from the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service saying it?s reaching out to families to return organs of family members whose deaths involved a coroner?s investigation and autopsy before June 14, 2010.

Mike Neuts knew Myles? pituitary gland had been removed during the autopsy, but when he asked for more information he was shocked to learn his son?s brain and spinal cord had also been removed.

Those details were in an autopsy report and transcripts from the inquest, but Neuts said he overlooked them because he was still distraught.

Neuts also found out the hospital that performed the autopsy had already disposed of his son?s organs.

Dr. Michael Pollanen, chief forensic pathologist for Ontario, said practices in forensic pathology have changed

and organs no longer need to be kept as often,

He said medical ethics about sharing potentially-distressing news with families has also changed over the years.

?The ethical imperatives now have changed to full disclosure, as opposed to non-disclosure.? Pollanen said,

Neuts said he favours full disclosure, but personally contacting families would have been the better route to go, if organs were available.

?I wonder how many people like me have applied and there?s nothing there for us to get out, especially some of us who didn?t know (organs) were gone,? he said.

Pollanen said more than 2,000 individuals have contacted his office about the issue.

Pollanen said there is now a two-year time limit on retaining organs, which wasn?t the case in the past.

Neuts has been critical of the coroner?s inquest process over the years, but said the efforts of Pollanen give him hope that real changes are happening.

?When I got past my raw emotion and took a look at it . . . I need to be fair and say, ?You know what, they?re trying to clean it up and that?s why this happened,?? he said.

--- --- ---

MORE INFORMATION

? To obtain the organs of a family member whose death involved a coroner?s investigation and autopsy, call 1-855-564-4122 or go online to Ontario.ca/OrganRetention.

? Affected families can request organs be sent to a funeral home for cremation or burial and expenses will be covered by the province.

Cancer Student in Aetna Spat Dies

Arijit Guha, an Arizona State University graduate student who successfully tussled with health insurance giant Aetna over his medical bills last year, has died at 32, according to a close friend.

His wife, Heather Ehlers, created Facebook in tribute to this life, remembering him as a "rabble rouser, do-gooder, mustache enthusiast."

"His life was one of love, optimism, joy, humor, and compassion, and this page is to celebrate that life," she wrote.

Guha returned from a trip to India last year with a stomach ache and only one month later learned he had stage-4 colon cancer. Aetna agreed to full coverage for his treatment, but the aggressive cancer returned in the fall.

"He ran out of treatment options," the close friend said. "He'd been in hospice care for many months."

Guha died at home, Ehlers said.

"My heart is aching, but the pain is eased a bit knowing that he has the support of such an amazing community of people, so many of whom have never met him," she said on the tribute page today."

After getting his tough diagnosis, Guha faced hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills.

He had a policy under the university's health plan for which he paid $400 a month out of pocket, but its carrier, Aetna, had an annual ceiling on payouts. After surgery and chemotherapy, he had exhausted the lifetime $300,000 limit.

[The Affordable Health Care Act has since eliminated lifetime limits, but then, it did not include student health plans.]

Outraged, Guha turned to Twitter and other social media to make his case.

But in August, Aetna CEO Mark T. Bertolini, a former paramedic who has had his own share of medical crises, tweeted directly with Guha and agreed to pay "every last penny" of his bills.

"The system is broken, and I am committed to fixing it," Bertolini said on his Twitter account. "I am glad we connected today and got this issue solved. I appreciate the dialogue no matter how pointed. I've got it and own it!"

It turns out Bertolini and Guha had much in common.

In 2001, Bertolini's son, Eric, then 16, was diagnosed with a rare and deadly lymphoma, according to a profile in the Hartford Courant. And in 2004, when he was president of Cigna, Bertolini was disabled after being nearly killed in a ski accident. He also eventually donated a kidney to help save his son.

Bertolini admitted that the health care system was "broke" and tweeted, "There is a lot to do to make it right."

Meanwhile, Guha had raised $120,000 through T-shirt sales in his edgy campaign "Poop Strong," which riffed on cancer survivor Lance Armstrong's "Live Strong." And when Aetna stepped in, Guha said he would donate all of it to three cancer charities in Arizona.

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cancer killer in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2008, the last year for which there are statistics, 142,950 Americans were diagnosed with colorectal cancer and 52,857 Americans died from the disease.

Surprisingly, colorectal cancer is not that uncommon among younger people like Guha, especially those who have a family history of early-onset disease.

"It's not shocking at all," said Dr. Joel Levine, founding director of the Colon Cancer Prevention Program at the University of Connecticut.

Symptoms can include rectal bleeding or anemia, abdominal pain or occult blood in the stool.

Such was the case with Guha, who was diagnosed in February 2011. He had settled in Phoenix with his wife and was getting a doctorate in environmental sustainability. The couple returned from a trip to India to visit his relatives and Guha developed abdominal pain.

"It seemed like the standard sort of bug issue when I get back from India," he told ABCNews.com at the time. "But it continued and got different, to the point where I was doubled up on the floor, and I was having trouble eating."

Because of his age, doctors never suspected cancer and looked at every other possibility, "including the plague," Guha said.

A battery of tests were negative, but eventually a colonoscopy revealed a 6 cm.-wide tumor in the sigmoid colon.

When he saw a report that suggested it was malignant, Guha said, "I was in denial. I thought surely there was another explanation."

MRIs and surgery revealed that the cancer had proliferated into his entire abdominal cavity: a stage-4 diagnosis. "It was pretty dire," he said.

Guha had a colostomy, conventional chemotherapy, the removal of his gall bladder and a heated chemo bath of the lining of his stomach, as the medical bills mounted.

By the time Guha had exhausted his insurance benefits, he had about $118,000 in medical bills.

For a time, he dedicated himself to fundraising for more support for cancer patients and their families, especially Arizona's undocumented, who have no insurance.

"I could never get through life like that or be a productive member of society," he said then. "I have always dedicated my life to doing something useful."

Survey highlights medical insurance confusion - Travel Weekly

Confusion among consumers about the medical cover they can expect when they travel abroad has been highlighted in an Association of British Insurers survey.

More than half (54%) of the 2,500 questioned did not know they needed a European Health Insurance Card, or EHIC, to access state healthcare when abroad.

And 31% were heading overseas without either an EHIC or any kind of travel insurance.

The EHIC allows people access to care in EU or European Free Trade Area nations.

EHIC cards can be obtained from some travel agents or from the NHS website.

Some 44% of those asked knew that the cards were valid for only five years.

But the ABI was concerned that some families were cutting back on expenses by only using an EHIC and not taking out separate travel insurance as well.

"It is absolutely not a substitute for travel insurance," said Linsey White of the ABI.

"If you have a problem abroad and you need to be flown back to the UK in an emergency, the cost of an air ambulance can be up to ?15,000 and that is not covered by an EHIC."

An Abta spokesman told the BBC: "It is important to have an EHIC because if you do find yourself in an accident while abroad, it allows you to get access to state healthcare anywhere in the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.

"An EHIC will get you basic state care. In some countries, you will get treatment, but other things - such as food, drink or even changing your bed linen - are not regarded as the responsibility of the nurses. They are things for your family to take care of."

Stephen Howard, secretary of the Association of Travel Insurance Intermediaries, said that people should buy their travel insurance when they put down a deposit for their holiday. This would then cover them for any cancellation costs.

He also urged holidaymakers to shop around for their policy, but care was needed because price was not always directly linked to the quality of the cover.

JERUSALEM (AP) ? President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned appeal Thursday for Israel to recognize that compromise will be necessary to achieve lasting security and to take steps to reverse an "undertow" of international isolation that is worsened by its failure to make peace with the Palestinians. Militants again underscored Israel's vulnerability by firing rockets into a southern border town.

Obama declared anew that Israeli expansion of housing settlements in disputed territory only hinders chances for fruitful negotiations with the Palestinians, but he did not say as he has in the past that they must be halted.

Reminding an audience of Israeli university students that the United States is their country's best friend and most important ally, Obama said the U.S. will never back down on its commitment to Israel's defense, particularly against threats such as the one posed by Iran and its nuclear program.

"As long as there is a United States of America, you are not alone," he told a packed audience of university students who erupted frequently with applause and standing ovations at Jerusalem's convention center

The applause continued even as Obama stressed that Israel must make peace with the Palestinians if it is to ensure its survival and long-term viability as a homeland for the Jewish people. Israeli occupation of areas that the Palestinians claim for their own state must end, and progress toward creating that Palestinian state will help Israel's relations with the rest of the world, notably in its Arab-dominated neighborhood, he said.

"Given the frustration in the international community, Israel must reverse an undertow of isolation," he said. Whereas once Israel could feel at ease by keeping good relations with Arab autocrats, the revolutions sweeping the Middle East and North Africa have made broader outreach, especially on the Palestinian issue, an imperative, he added.

"Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land," Obama said. "The Palestinian people's right to self-determination and their justice must also be recognized. Put yourself in their shoes, look at the world through their eyes. It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, living their entire lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements ... every single day."

Unlike in the past when Obama and his top aides have demanded that Israel halt the expansion of settlements in disputed territory, he took a softer approach.

Still, on his first trip to Israel as president, he said its people should understand that specific actions, notably ongoing construction of Jewish housing on disputed territory, hurt the chances for restarting stalled peace talks with the Palestinians, who have made a halt to such building a demand for returning to negotiations.

"Israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace, and that an independent Palestine must be viable with real borders that have to be drawn," he said. "No single step is going to erase years of history and propaganda, but progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and thrive on division. It would make a difference."

Earlier Thursday in the West Bank, standing alongside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Obama made similar comments and condemned the firing of two rockets on the southern Israeli town of Sderot by militants in Gaza. But, he essentially abandoned previous support for the Palestinian demand that settlement activity end before talks resume.

Obama said the United States continues to oppose settlement construction but said issues of disagreement between the two sides should not be used as an "excuse" to do nothing.

"If the expectation is that we can only have direct negotiations when everything is settled ahead of time, then there is no point for negotiations, so I think it is important to work through this process even if there are irritants on both sides," Obama said at a joint news conference with Abbas in Ramallah.

Abbas and other Palestinian officials said they would not drop the demand, noting that much of the world considers the settlements to be illegal and not merely an impediment to peace talks.

"We require the Israeli government to stop settlements in order to discuss all our issues and their concerns," Abbas told the news conference, a marquee event during Obama's brief visit to the West Bank on the second day of his Mideast visit. "It's the duty of the Israeli government to stop the settlement activities to enable us to talk about the issues in the negotiations."

During his first four years in office, Obama had sided with the Palestinians on the issue. He and his surrogates repeatedly have demanded that all settlement activity cease. However, when Israel reluctantly declared a 10-month moratorium on construction, the Palestinians balked at returning to negotiations until shortly before it expired and talks foundered shortly thereafter.

The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem ? territories Israel captured in the 1967 war ? but are ready for minor adjustments to accommodate some settlements closest to Israel. Since 1967, Israel has built dozens of settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem that are now home to 560,000 Israelis ? an increase of 60,000 since Obama became president four years ago.

Obama's comments in Ramallah echoed those of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has repeatedly called for the Palestinians to drop preconditions for re-launching the stalled peace talks. Obama's remarks were sure to reinforce deep skepticism among Palestinians about whether he is willing or able to use U.S. influence to push Israel on key issues.

In what appeared to be an attempt to blunt such criticism, Obama used his speech to the Israeli students to appeal to their love of freedom, respect for human rights and common values with Americans to do the right thing.

He offered profuse praise for Israel's history as a haven for refugees fleeing social and religious persecution. He hailed the technological innovations made by Israeli scientists and engineers

Though he made no demands of Israel, he made clear he was seeking their cooperation and understanding as a friend, noting that it would be easier for him to avoid anything approaching criticism of Israel because of its very strong backing in Congress and among the American people.

"Politically, given the strong bipartisan support for Israel in America, the easiest thing for me to do would be to put this issue aside, just express unconditional support for whatever Israel decides to do that would be the easiest political path. But I want you to know that I speak to you as a friend who is deeply concerned and committed to your future."
