VA
Tele-Nurse Reaches Out and Touches Someone
The nurse
at Veterans Affairs in Tampa dials her patient in his home. The
patient pushes a green button on a home monitor to answer. A speakerphone
activates and a video display allows nurse and patient to see each
other. That's when the examination begins, complete with electronic
stethoscope and blood pressure cuff.

Wild Salmon Runs

is no fish story. Well, OK, it is a fish story, but it's true. As
salmon mature, they return to fresh water to spawn. See real-time
video of endangered sockeye, chinook and coho salmon migrating in
a small King County stream in Washington State right from your desktop.
