NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) ? A retired barber accused of shooting a California urologist to death in his exam room suffered from prostate problems and was angry about his incontinence after a recent surgery, neighbors said Tuesday.

Stanwood Fred Elkus, 75, was jailed on $1 million bail after police say he shot Dr. Ronald Franklin Gilbert multiple times on Monday at a medical office in Newport Beach, an affluent city in suburban Orange County.

Police would not say if the 52-year-old Gilbert was Elkus' doctor. The urologist appeared to be the only target of the attack, police spokeswoman Kathy Lowe said.

Elkus, who has an initial court hearing Wednesday, was plagued by prostate troubles and was upset by a surgery that left him running to the bathroom constantly, sometimes in mid-conversation, neighbors said.

"One day we were talking about other things outside and he says, 'Oh hold it right there!' and he was rushing to his house and when he came back, he said, 'I have a problem with my prostate,'" recalled Miguel Soto, who lives across the street.

"He said, 'I had surgery and now I am worse than before the surgery.'"

Soto said Elkus never named his doctor, and Soto did not know if it was Gilbert.

A few weeks ago, Elkus said he would be away from home because he was checking into a hospital again, but when Soto saw him last week, he didn't mention his health.

Neighbor James Lord said Elkus mentioned Sunday that "he wasn't going to be around much longer."

"I told him, 'No Stan, you're gonna outlive me,'" Lord said.

Detectives recovered a handgun at the scene of the shooting and found additional evidence at Elkus' home in Lake Elsinore, but police declined to provide more details.

At Gilbert's home in Huntington Beach, mourners arrived as distraught family members and a rabbi went in and out of the house just blocks from the water. The family declined comment and asked a reporter to leave.

Gilbert dealt with general urology, sexual dysfunction and related surgical techniques including vasectomies, bladder and prostate cancer, according to his biography on the website of the Orange Coast Urology Group, which he joined in 1993.

One of his specialties involved using a laser to vaporize prostate tissue blocking the urinary tract.

He decided to become a doctor mainly because his late father was a doctor, the biography said, adding that Gilbert had been a stockbroker and a singer in a rock band.

He had worked for 20 years at Hoag Hospital and was its former urology chief.

Dr. Jeffrey Lauber, a dermatologist, said he frequently referred patients with cancer symptoms to Gilbert.

"He's the best there is," Lauber said. "Not only is he a very good urologist, he's a pillar of the community."

Cows fed flaxseed produce more nutritious dairy products

Monday, January 28, 2013

Dairy cows that are fed flaxseed produce more nutritious milk, according to a new study by Oregon State University.

Their milk contained more omega-3 fatty acids and less saturated fat, the study found.

Diets high in saturated fat can increase cholesterol and cause heart disease, while those rich in omega-3 and other polyunsaturated fatty acids may reduce the risk of heart disease, studies have shown.

Traditional cattle feed mixtures of corn, grains, alfalfa hay and grass silage result in dairy products with low concentrations of omega-3 and other polyunsaturated fats, according to Gerd Bobe, the lead scientist on the study, which has been published online in the Journal of Dairy Science.

Ten pregnant cows at OSU's dairy were fed different amounts of flaxseed ? up to seven percent of their daily diet. Researchers attempted to pinpoint the amount of flaxseed that would maximize the amount of omega-3 in milk and dairy products without negatively affecting their production and texture.

"We were looking for a sweet spot," said Bobe, an expert in human and animal nutrition. "Too much of a good thing can be bad, especially when trying to maintain consistency with dairy products."

Collaborators in OSU's food science and technology department assisted in turning milk into butter and fresh cheese, which were then tested for texture and nutritional composition.

The study found that feeding cows up to six pounds of extruded flaxseed improved the fat profile without negatively affecting the production and texture of the milk and other dairy products. Extrusion presses raw ground flaxseed into pellets with heat.

At six pounds per day, saturated fatty acids in whole milk fat dropped 18 percent, poly-unsaturated fatty acids increased 82 percent, and omega-3 levels rose 70 percent compared to feeding no flaxseed.

Similar improvements were observed in butter and cheese.

Still, saturated fat accounted for more than half of the fatty acids in the dairy products while the increase in polyunsaturated fats compromised no more than nearly nine percent of the total.

Researchers also noted that the refrigerated butter was softer and less adhesive thanks to fewer saturated fatty acids. Also, the cows produced the same amount of milk while eating flaxseed.

Although flaxseed costs more than traditional cattle feeds, Bobe hopes that it still could be an affordable feed supplement for cows because products enriched with omega-3 can sell for a premium at the grocery store.

"Many consumers already show a willingness to pay extra for value-added foods, like omega-3 enriched milk," he said.

One thing is for sure, he said: Dairy farmers will have no trouble convincing cows to eat flaxseed. "They loved it. They ate it like candy," he said.

Gas prices in RI climb 3 cents

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) -- Gasoline prices are inching back up in Rhode Island.

AAA Southern New England reported Monday that the average price of a gallon of regular gas is $3.54, up three cents from last week.

That's three cents higher than a month ago. The local price is 20 cents above the per-gallon national average.

Rhode Islanders were paying $3.57 a gallon on average a year ago.

NOVA Elements (for iPad)

NOVA Elements, a free iPad app from PBS, provides an overview of the elements and the periodic table. It offers easy access to NOVA's Hunting the Elements video, narrated by David Pogue, New York Times tech columnist and host of NOVA's "Making Stuff" series, and it includes an interactive game that lets you build atoms and molecules. The app's text is cursory, however, limited to brief descriptions of each chemical element.

From the app's Home screen, you are presented with three choices: Explore the Interactive Periodic Table; Watch Hunting the Elements; and Play David Pogue's Essential Elements. By clicking on any element in the Interactive Periodic Table, you call up a brief description of the element, and its abundance, discovery, and/or uses. You can also tweet a link to these descriptions, if you wish. You can also access a video clip about the element.

Along with each description is a Build button, which lets you construct representations of individual atoms for each element, for which you're given its atomic number and atomic weight. You then add protons and electrons, the number of each of which will match the atomic number, and neutrons. The number of protons and neutrons will nearly equal the atomic weight. When you've completed the atom, you press Submit, and the app will let you know whether or not you've built it correctly.

When you click on "Watch Hunting the Elements" you hear David Pogue's voice-over state "You can watch Hunting the Elements, anytime, anywhere." That is an overstatement, as I couldn't watch the show on the subway, for example, as it requires an Internet connection. But, assuming you are online, it's an easy way to access the 2-hour PBS special that Pogue narrates. Hunting the Elements is split into 12 video "chapters," each about 10 minutes long. This makes it more manageable than the full-length videos of the show accessible from the PBS Web site or on YouTube, and?unlike the iTunes or DVD versions that you can order through the app?it's free.

In Hunting the Elements, Pogue explores individual elements, for example gold (visiting a gold mine), and oxygen (its role in fire and explosions, as observed in an explosives test range). He also investigates the periodic table as a whole, with the help of a scientist's prop, an actual wooden table in which each element is represented in its proper position; what's more, beneath each element's plaque that identifies it is a container housing a sample of the element. The video discusses the elements essential for life, and the creation of elements in the hearts (and explosions) of stars.

Molecule Building
David Pogue's Essential Elements shows images of 5 different objects: a strand of DNA, a red shirt, a cup of coffee, some bananas, and a wrist watch. For each of these objects, you're shown molecules that comprise it: for DNA, the four nucleic acids, cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine; for the shirt, cotton, nylon, and red dye; for the cup of coffee, caffeine, water, and PVC plastic; for bananas, fructose, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. You are then tasked with assembling these molecules' component atoms (if you haven't already done so with the Build function in the interactive periodic table), and then adding each element in turn to the ball-and-stick molecular model to complete the molecule. If you add the atoms in the wrong place, you'll have to clear the model and redo it.

One quibble with this section is that it's presented as overly David Pogue-centric, rather than focused on the elements themselves. In general, Pogue has a strong presence in the app, and it's fitting as the narrator of Hunting the Elements that he often injects his personal impressions on being introduced to some new phenomenon. But in David Pogue's Essential Elements, his picture is in the center, between the five objects you are to assemble. If you press the instructions tab, you are told "The objective of this game is to construct elements and molecules that make up some of the objects David uses every day," rather than noting that they're five objects important to many people's lives. That said, there's no reason this should detract from the game, and from learning about atomic and molecular structure.

NOVA Elements is a good iPad app for learning about the elements. It's helpful to watch the engaging and at times amusing NOVA video Hunting the Elements, which is accessible through the app, as there is no textual description of the periodic chart that comprises the Interactive Periodic Table section. The text that accompanies each element in the Interactive Periodic Table is cursory, and while some elements are described in the video, many are not.

The David Pogue's Essential Elements section presents an interactive and experiential game for assembling atoms, when you're given only their atomic weight and number, and then taking the virtual atoms you've constructed and assembling them into (mostly organic) molecules.

Educational Elements
NOVA Elements lacks the detailed textual descriptions of individual elements and the periodic table of the Editors' Choice iPad App, The Elements: A 3D Exploration, as well as that app's stunning graphics. But NOVA Elements is free, its Hunting the Elements video, (which is accessible elsewhere) is well worth watching, and the interactive Essential Elements game lets you examine atoms and molecules experientially (by constructing them). Nova Elements is a worthy (and fun) educational iPad app.

Toyota wins back world's top auto sales crown from GM

TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp regained the crown as the world's top selling automaker in 2012, posting record-high sales and beating rivals General Motors and Volkswagen .

Toyota said on Monday it sold 9.75 million vehicles group-wide around the world last year, a record for the 75-year-old Japanese automaker and up 22.6 percent from a year ago.

The result was in line with the company's December forecast, and put it back in the No. 1 spot, which it lost in 2011 when it was hit by a wave of negative publicity after a recall crisis in the United States, and a disrupted supply chain following an earthquake in Japan and floods in Thailand.

Toyota held the global sales crown from 2008 through 2010, but fell to third place in 2011 behind GM and Volkswagen.

GM sold 9.28 million vehicles in 2012, up 2.9 percent from a year ago, while Volkswagen sold 9.07 million vehicles, up 11.2 percent.

Toyota aims to sell 9.91 million vehicles group-wide globally in 2013, up 1.6 percent from 2012.

The Toyota group also includes sales at Daihatsu Motor Co and Hino Motors Ltd . Toyota-only sales hit a record-high 8.72 million vehicles, up 22.8 percent on a year ago.

Toyota's domestic rival Nissan Motor Co said on Monday it sold a record 4.94 million vehicles globally in 2012, while Honda Motor Co sold 3.82 million vehicles, up 19 percent.
