Game, set and match! Enjoy Wimbledon 2013 with your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

The 2013 Wimbledon tennis tournament is upon us, and naturally a lot of you folks will be glued to the action. Not everyone can make it to Wimbledon, or to a television set, so that means following anyway you can. Thankfully, with your iOS devices in hand, you need never be more than a few taps away from all the latest, if only without the strawberries and cream. Lets take a look at some of the best.

The Championships, Wimbledon 2013

All good sporting events need an official iOS application, and Wimbledon is no exception. As you may expect from an official application, this one is jam packed with just about everything you need to keep up with every match, every day, as it happens. One criticism is that text is quite small, so not the easiest to read on an iPhone. But, it's designed with the tournaments colors of green and purple in mind, and the live scores are all dressed up like actual Wimbledon scoreboards.

The iPad app is even better looking, but still features the same important content. It makes full use of the extra screen real estate and offers maps of the grounds, with pins dropped on each court there's currently something happening on. Perhaps the best feature of all is the included live video and radio, which is available to users in the UK, USA, Canada, South America (excluding Brazil), Netherlands, Belgium, Cyprus and New Zealand.

BBC Sport (UK Only)

The BBC Sport app is one of, if not the best, general sports news app available for UK iOS users. It mimics the BBC website extremely well, and provides the same high level of quality content. Specifically for Wimbledon, since the BBC is the official UK coverage provider, the BBC Sport app is packed full of tennis related goodies. This includes live streaming of the matches currently being shown on TV, which should take care of everything on the two feature courts.

Live Score Tennis

Live Score Tennis is a third-party tennis specific application, and it looks fantastic. A simple, yet striking interface available in a dark or a light theme, Live Score takes away all the bloat, and gives you exactly the information you want. You can either have it all, or you can choose specific combinations of players and tournaments that you want to keep up to date with.

Live Score also promises the "fastest push notifications in tennis" in getting you what you want to see on your lockscreen as it happens. Perfect for those breaking moments. Push notifications can also be set per player, or per tournament, and can cover a wide range of items from live scores and results through to draw information and when the final is due to begin. Extremely useful to have on your iPhone throughout Wimbledon, but definitely one for the tennis fans out there to keep year round.

Live Score SofaScore

Not to be confused with the previous app at all, SofaScore is from a different developer and as with BBC Sport is an all round sports news app. But it deserves a mention here because it's a very good looking application, that also provides a good level of information on all the goings on at Wimbledon. You can turn on live scores for all the current matches, look at what's happening in each of them individually, and even see the current odds if you happen to like a little bet or two. And, since it covers so many different sports, it's well worth a look as a source of your beyond-Wimbledon sporting news fix.

So, those are a few of our picks that'll be helping us get through Wimbledon 2013. If you've got any that we haven't talked about, be sure to drop into the comments and let us know what you'll be using!

The 16 Best Movies Disappearing From Amazon Prime This Weekend

Not all of us turn to Netflix for our streaming fix; there are plenty of Amazon Prime members out there who lean on Instant Video instead. And if you're one of them, you might want to fill up your Watchlist with these classics. They'll be gone come Monday. And come to think of it, most of them aren't on Netflix, either.

'Singing' rats show hope for older humans with age-related voice problems

June 24, 2013 ? A new study shows that the vocal training of older rats reduces some of the voice problems related to their aging, such as the loss of vocal intensity that accompanies changes in the muscles of the larynx. This is an animal model of a vocal pathology that many humans face as they age. The researchers hope that in the future, voice therapy in aging humans will help improve their quality of life.

The research appears in The Journals of Gerontology.

University of Illinois speech and hearing science professor Aaron Johnson, who led the new study along with his colleagues at the University of Wisconsin, said that aging can cause the muscles of the larynx, the organ that contains the vocal folds, to atrophy. This condition, called presbyphonia, may be treatable with vocal training, he said.

Johnson said in a healthy, young larynx the vocal folds completely close and open during vibration. This creates little puffs of air we hear as sound. In people with presbyphonia, however, the atrophied vocal folds do not close properly, resulting in a gap during vocal fold vibration.

Degradation of the neuromuscular junction, or the interface between the nerve that signals the vocal muscle to work and the muscle itself, also contributes to the symptoms of presbyphonia, Johnson said. In a healthy human, when the signal reaches the neuromuscular junction, it triggers a release of chemicals that signal the muscle to contract. But an age-related decline in the neuromuscular junction can cause weakness and fatigue in the muscle, and may result in a person having a breathy or weak voice and to become fatigued as a result of the extra effort needed to communicate.

Surgery and injections may help correct the gap between the vocal folds seen in presbyphonia, but these invasive procedures are often not viable in the elderly population, Johnson said.

His previous experience working with the elderly as a former classical singer and voice teacher propelled Johnson to "become interested in what we can do as we get older to keep our voices healthy and strong."

"We know exercise strengthens the limb musculature, but we wanted to know if vocal exercise can strengthen the muscles of the voice," Johnson said.

To find out if vocal training could have an effect on the strength and physiology of the vocal muscles in humans, Johnson turned to a rat model. Rats make ultrasonic vocalizations that are above the range of human hearing, but special recording equipment and a computer that lowers the frequency of the rat calls allows humans to perceive them. (They sound a bit like bird calls).

Because rats and humans utilize similar neuromuscular mechanisms to vocalize, the rats make ideal subjects for the study of human vocal characteristics, Johnson said.

Both the treatment and control groups contained old and young male rats. In the treatment group, a female rat was placed into a cage with a male rat. When the male expressed interest in her, the female was removed from the cage, causing the male rat to vocalize. The male was rewarded with food for these vocalizations, and after eight weeks of this operant conditioning in which rewards were only given for certain responses, all of the rats in the treatment group had been trained to increase their number of vocalizations during a training session.

At the end of the eight-week period, the researchers measured the intensity of the rats' vocalizations and analyzed the animals' larynges to see whether the training had any effect on the condition of their neuromuscular junctions.

The researchers found the trained old and young rats had similar average vocal intensities, but the untrained older rats had lower average intensities than both the trained rats and the young rats that had not been trained. They also found several age-related differences within the groups' neuromuscular mechanisms.

"Other research has found that in the elderly, there is a dispersion, or breaking apart, of the neuromuscular junction at the side that is on the muscle itself," Johnson said. "We found that in the older rats that received training, it wasn't as dispersed."

These "singing rats" are the "first evidence that vocal use and vocal training can change the neuromuscular system of the larynx," Johnson said.

"While this isn't a human study, I think this tells us that we can train ourselves to use our voices and not only reduce the effects of age on the muscles of our voices, but actually improve voices that have degraded," Johnson said.

Johnson is also affiliated with the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at Illinois.
