Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.
Apple, which has stumbled in its efforts to get into social media, has talked with Twitter in recent months about making a strategic investment in it, according to people briefed on the matter.
Although apple has been hugely successful in selling phones and tablets, it has little traction in social networking, which has become a major engine of activity on the Web and on mobile devices. Social media are increasingly influencing the ways people spend their time and money — important consideration for Apple, which also sells application, games, music and movies.
Apple has considered an investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars, one that could value Twitter at more than $10 billion, up from an $8.4 billion valuation last year, these people said. They declined to be identified because the discussions were private.
There is no guarantee that the two companies, which are not in negotiations at the moment, will come to an agreement. But the earlier talks are a sign that they may form a stronger partnership amid intensifying competition from companies like Google and Facebook.
Apple has not made many friends in social media. Its relationship with Facebook, for example, has been strained since a deal to build Facebook featured into Ping, Apple's music-centric social network, fell apart. Facebook is also aligned with Microsoft, which owns a small stake in it. And Google, an Apple rival in the phone market, has been pushing its own social network, Google Plus.
Half of all heart patients make medication errors
(Reuters Health) - Half
of all heart patients made at least one medication-related mistake after
leaving the hospital, and guidance from a pharmacist didn't seem to reduce
those errors, in a new study.
Consequences of
mistakes - such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose -
can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood
pressure. Two percent of errors were life-threatening.
Hospitals involved in
the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition
to the extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the study's
lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville,
Tennessee.
"We were surprised
to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still
having these medication errors," he told Reuters Health.
Although the pharmacist
visits didn't help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to
benefit - such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble
understanding health information.
As for traditionally
lower-risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

JAKARTA POST/PEKANBARU
Indonesia put in an impressive performance in their 2-0 defeat of Singapore, but still failed to qualify for next year's AFC U-22 soccer championship after finishing a third place at the end of Group E matches in Pekanbaru, Riau on Sunday.
The two goals for the
home side, which welcomed Coach Aji Santoso back the sidelines from a four
matches suspension, both came in the second half from Agung Supriyanto.
He scored his first
goal from the penalty box before finding his second several minutes
later. He beat a defender with a swift maneuver from the right flank
and had the goalkeeper gasping as his thunderous goal blasted into the far
post.
The young Indonesians
collected 9 points, or just one point behind runner-up Australia, out of a six
strong field of competitors. Japan topped the standing with a perfect
collection 20-2 goal margin.
Singapore came in
fourth with 7 points followed by Timor Leste with 3 points and Macau with no points.
In earlier matches in
the day, favorite Japan continued their dominant form with a 5-0 drubbing of
another tournament favorite Australia, while Timor Leste chalked up their first
victory, a 4-1 over last-placed Macau.
