A resolution for well-being

<span style="font-style: italic;">From time to time, the resident physician at Google headquarters weighs in with her thoughts on healthy living. This is not medical advice, and you should check with your own doctor before pursuing any particular course of action. </span><br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Dr. Taraneh Razavi, M.D., Staff Doctor</span><br /><br />How many of you resolved that in the New Year you'd start a cholesterol- or blood pressure-reducing medication, or perhaps plan to spend a few days in the coronary care unit? My guess is that not too many of you -- but you might end up needing this sort of help rather than staying resolute to intended lifestyle changes that reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Let's face it, it's tough to get motivated. It's so much easier to take the pills or have the tests done -- later.<br /><br />So to help motivate you now, here's a short review of the findings of <a href="http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/6/924?maxtoshow=&HITS=10&hits=10&RESULTFORMAT=1&author1=Iestra%2C+JA&andorexacttitle=and&andorexacttitleabs=and&andorexactfulltext=and&searchid=1137775683392_7590&FIRSTINDEX=0&sortspec=relevance&volume=112&search_url=http%3A%2F%2Fcirc.ahajournals.org%2Fcgi%2Fsearch&journalcode=circulationaha">a recent study</a> by J. A. Iestra that appears in a 2005 issue of the journal <span style="font-style: italic;">Circulation</span>. It's called "Effect Size Estimates of Lifestyle and Dietary Changes on All Cause Mortality in Coronary Artery Disease Patients." Iestra's data showed notable reductions in coronary artery disease -- and mortality -- when patients make these changes:<br /><ul><li>Diet change: 40-45% </li><li>Smoking cessation: 35-50% </li><li>ACE inhibitors (for blood pressure): 26%</li><li>More physical activity: 20-30% </li><li>Beta blockers (for blood pressure): 23% </li><li>Statins (for cholesterol): 21% </li><li>Aspirin: 18%</li><li>Moderate alcohol: 14-20% </li></ul>The reduction in mortality from coronary artery disease is the same if not better with lifestyle or dietary changes as it is with medications. Other things to consider (but not analyzed in this study) are that lifestyle changes, such as more physical activity, don't produce bad side effects -- well, maybe a little sweat, but all medications may have some side effects. And certainly the cost of exercise vs. medication is lower too. So whether you're a Googler or not, let's all be visionaries not just about our work, but about our own bodies and souls.

Open federation for Google Talk

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Mike Jazayeri, Product Manager, Google Talk</span><br /><br />We've just announced <a href="http://www.google.com/talk/developer.html#service">open federation</a> for the Google Talk service. What does that mean, you might be wondering. No, it has nothing to do with Star Trek. "Open federation" is technical jargon for when people on different services can talk to each other. For example, email is a federated system. You might have a .edu address and I have a Gmail address, but you and I can still exchange email. The same for the phone: there's nothing that prevents Cingular users from talking to Sprint users.<br /><br />Unfortunately, this is not the case with many IM and Internet voice calling services today. You can only talk to people on the particular service you have an account on (so you need an account on every service to talk to everybody, which is pretty cumbersome). With open federation, you get to choose your service provider and you can talk to people on any other federated service (and vice versa).<br /><br />In addition to the Google Talk service, many other companies, universities, and corporations support open federation today. This means you can now talk to millions of users around the world all with a single account on the service provider of your choice.<br /><br />We think this is pretty exciting -- though perhaps not as exciting as something <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/features/fedscience.shtml">Star Trek-related</a> -- and we hope it will bring us one step closer to making IM and Internet voice calling as ubiquitous as email.

Many Minis

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Rajen Sheth, Product Manager</span><br /><br />Today is the one year anniversary of the <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/">Google Mini</a>, Google's solution for website and corporate network search, and to celebrate we thought we'd announce a few more of them. The standard Mini lets you search up to 100,000 documents. Now organizations that constantly crank out new content can opt for either of two new Minis: one searches up to 200,000 documents, and another that can manage up to 300,000. All three deliver the same easy setup, intuitive interface and fast, relevant results that the Mini is already bringing to thousands of websites and corporate networks. You're growing, and <a href="http://www.googlestore.com/appliance/product.asp?catid=1">the Mini is growing with you</a>.

Google Earth in a Mac world (PC too)

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Chikai Ohazama, Google Earth Team</span><br /><br />We feel like proud parents around here. Our eldest, Google Earth for the PC, is officially leaving beta status today, and we couldn't be more pleased. For those of you who downloaded early, upgrade to the latest and discover Google Earth all over again.<br /><br />And we have a brand new member of the family -- Google Earth for Macintosh. We're happy to finally have some good news for the, ahem, vocal Mac enthusiasts we've been hearing from. Let's just say that we have gotten more than a few "requests" for a Mac version of Google Earth. They've gone something like this:<br /><br />1) "When is it coming out? Your website says that you are working on it."<br /><br />2) "You know, Mac users are very heavy graphics/mapping/visualization/design/ architecture/education/real estate/geocaching/social-geo-video-networking fans who would certainly use Google Earth a lot."<br /><br />3) "So when is it coming out?"<br /><br />We heard you loud and clear. The Mac version runs on OS X 10.4 and up. Happy travels throughout <a href="http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html">Google Earth</a>, whether you're on a Mac or a PC.

A new year for Google Video

<span class="byline-author">Posted by Sanjay Raman, Google Video Team</span><br /><br />Till now, Google Video has been about watching videos and clips online, which is really convenient for videos <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3496860874967925614&q=fastfocus">like this</a>. But wouldn't it be awesome to watch that episode of <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=in_label%3Atvshow%3DCSI">CSI</a></span> that you missed when even your trusty DVR failed you? This is one reason we've launched the Google Video store, where you can rent or buy from such well-known media partners as <a href="http://video.google.com/cbs.html">CBS</a>, the <a href="http://video.google.com/nba.html">NBA</a>, The <a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=in_label%3Atvshow%3DCharlie_Rose">Charlie Rose Show</a>, and <a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Sony+BMG">SONY BMG</a>.<br /><br />We’re not only about mainstream content, though -– we have thousands of titles available (and more coming every day) from every imaginable type of producer, including <a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=1896+tsar+nicholas&so=0">this 1896 clip</a> of the coronation of Tsar Nicholas II – one of the earliest known moving images. We’re especially pleased to offer such quality indie features as Ben Rekhi’s <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1607114503824678810&q=waterborne ">Waterborne</a></span> (Drops Entertainment) and Lerone Wilson’s <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4929215594503422280&q=aardvark%27d ">Aardvark’d: 12 Weeks with Geeks</a></span> (Boondoggle Films).<br /><br />When we launched our <a href="https://upload.video.google.com">Upload Program</a> earlier this year, people sent in a huge number of free and compelling videos. But since there's a ton of video that can't be offered for free, we built the <a href="http://video.google.com/">Google Video store</a> to give content owners the option to charge for downloads if they'd like. This means producers large and small can distribute their great content in an easy, secure way. Some of your favorite prime time and classic TV shows, sports, music videos, and documentaries are at your fingertips. Want to see how Shaq scored 30 points last night? Download and watch it (and every <a href="http://video.google.com/nba.html">NBA</a> game for the rest of the season) through Google Video.<br /><br />You can play all the videos you download using the all-new Google Video Player. We're especially pleased about the thumbnail navigation for browsing an entire video so you can play any portion with a single click. And there's another thing: if the content is not copy-protected, you can take your favorite videos with you on your <a href="http://www.apple.com/ipod/">iPod</a> or <a href="http://www.us.playstation.com/psp.aspx">PSP</a> -- our "to go" option.<br /><br />Since it's so early in the year, here's a resolution we intend to keep: make sure new features and content continue to roll out, so that you think Google Video is one of the best ways to find video on the web.<br /><br />These video providers are getting us off to a great start:<br /><br />• <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=in_label%3Aowner%3Daquarius">Aquarius Health Care Media</a></span>: A leading producer and distributor of healthcare-related videos will pilot with Google Video using a variety of titles covering SIDS, diabetes, and blindness, among other health issues.<br /><br />• <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=ardustry">Ardustry Home Entertainment</a></span>: Offers substantial libraries of theatrical motion pictures, television series, documentaries and reality programming, music and sports specials, lifestyle titles, and a wide array of “how-to” products.<br /><br />• <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=bluehighways">BlueHighways TV</a></span>: Programming service that explores the people, stories, traditions and cultures of America.
