"We have patients come in who have different kinds of monitors like these. Many of them are very concerned because they've recorded values that seem way outside of the normal range," says Dr. Marc Gillinov, a cardiac surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and an author on the study. The study was designed find out if those readings are accurate.

Fans are required to place their cellphones into Yondr’s form-fitting lockable pouch when entering the show, and a disk mechanism unlocks it on the way out. Fans keep the pouch with them, but it is impossible for them to snap pictures, shoot videos or send text messages during the performance while the pouch is locked.
“I know my show is protected, and it empowers me to be more honest and open with the audience,” Mr. Chappelle said by email.
I just want to tell you that I feasted on kuay chap with my wife, and I am so full now that I cannot walk. That's all. Have a happy Sunday.
