Google Calendar Update Adds Much Needed Notification Dismissal Sync Across Devices

Google has updated one of our favorite and most-used apps, Google Calendar, with an incredibly useful and important feature ? notification dismissal synchronization across all your devices. Now, when you clear a notification on your smartphone, it won?t show up on your tablet or from the web. This is a simple update, but it addresses a common annoyance with the Calendar app, saving you time and frustration.

Google announced this update at Google I/O 2013 back in May. Google has already added the updated notification sync functionality to Google+ and Hangouts, with more apps and services getting added all the time.

Google introduced Cloud Messaging at I/O 2013, and this Calendar update is based on that syncing service. Cloud Messaging is a new API that synchronizes your notifications across all your Google services and devices. That includes not just smartphones and tablets, but desktop and laptop notifications. Basically anything with an internet connection that makes use of the Google Cloud Messaging API. This will also sync notifications on Google Glass and the rumored Google Watch. Our hope is that more developers will begin taking advantage of the functionality that the API offers.

Google also recently added an ?Add to Calendar? option in Gmail. Dates and times in an email are now underlined and you can click them to add an event to Calendar, without leaving the Gmail service. You just click on an underlined date or time and you will see a preview of your schedule for the day. Then you can edit the title, time and date of the event and add it to Calendar on the spot. The new Calendar event will even have a link back to the original email.

The Google Calendar update also includes bug fixes for Exchange accounts. Google has been staying busy since I/O, adding new functionality to its apps and converging services in ways that are incredibly useful for users. These updates will only continue as 2013 progresses, and are a constant reminder of why we love Google and continue to use the great services they provide for us.

The Google Calendar update is live in the Play Store right now. Check the app updates from your device, or hit the link below to get the update.

Appeal of Texas teen beating case may have hearing

HOUSTON (AP) ? A former Houston police officer alleging juror misconduct in his conviction in the videotaped beating of a 15-year-old burglary suspect during an arrest could get a court hearing on his motion for a new trial.

Attorneys for Drew Ryser said Wednesday a judge will either hold an Aug. 22 hearing with witness testimony on the motion or decide to review the motion on his own.

Ryser's attorneys say the jury foreman researched the case online outside the courtroom and shared his findings with fellow jurors.

Jurors convicted Ryser in June of misdemeanor official oppression in the March 2010 beating of Chad Holley. Ryser was sentenced to two years of probation.

Holley was convicted of burglary and sentenced to probation. He was later sent to jail on another burglary charge.

Investors look to Fed for further clues on rates

WASHINGTON (AP) ? When the Federal Reserve offers its latest word on interest rates this week, few think it will telegraph the one thing investors have been most eager to know: When it will slow its bond purchases, which have kept long-term borrowing rates low.

The Fed might choose to clarify a separate issue: When it may raise its key short-term rate. The Fed has kept that rate near zero since 2008. It's said it plans to keep it there at least as long as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent and the inflation outlook below 2.5 percent.

Unemployment is now 7.6 percent; the inflation rate is roughly 1 percent.

Chairman Ben Bernanke has stressed that the Fed could decide to keep its short-term rate ultra-low even after unemployment reaches 6.5 percent. Testifying to Congress this month, Bernanke noted that a key reason unemployment has declined is that many Americans have stopped looking for jobs. When people stop looking for work, they're no longer counted as unemployed.

If that trend continues, Bernanke said that lower unemployment could mask a still-weak job market and that the Fed might feel short-term rates should stay at record lows.

In the statement the Fed will issue when its two-day meeting ends Wednesday, it could specify an unemployment rate below 6.5 percent that would be needed before it might raise its benchmark short-term rate. It might also say that it won't raise that rate if inflation remains below a specific level.

Investors would react to any such shift in the Fed's guidance. Financial markets have been pivoting for months on speculation that the Fed will or won't soon slow its $85-billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases. Those purchases have led more consumers and businesses to borrow, fueled a stock rally and supported an economy slowed by tax increases and federal spending cuts.

The Fed has signaled that it might slow its bond buying as soon as September ? if the economy has strengthened as much as the Fed has forecast. If not, the Fed would likely maintain its stimulus.

On Wednesday, the government will report how fast the economy grew in the April-June quarter. Most economists predict an annual rate of barely 1 percent ? far too weak to quickly reduce unemployment. Most think the growth is picking up in the second half of the year on the strength of a resurgent housing market, stronger auto sales, steady job gains and higher pay.

Many economists think the key goal of the Fed's policy discussions Tuesday and Wednesday will be to stress that the Fed's actions in coming months will hinge on how the economy fares, not on any timetable.

Some economists think the Fed will be mindful that the Dow Jones industrial average sank more than 500 points in two days after it met in June and Bernanke said the Fed would likely slow its bond-buying this year and end it next year because the economy was improving.

"The Fed is going to try to calm things down," said Brian Bethune, an economics professor at Gordon College, in Wenham, Mass.

Last month, in what was likely his last economic report to Congress, Bernanke said that even after the Fed has begun slowing its bond purchases, its policymaking will keep lending costs down. Besides keeping its short-term rate low, Bernanke stressed that the Fed will maintain its vast investment portfolio ? which exceeds $3.4 trillion ?to help keep long-term borrowing costs down.

Some economists still think the Fed will start trimming its bond purchases at its Sept. 17-18 meeting. Unlike this week's meeting, the September meeting will be followed by a news conference in which Bernanke could explain the actions.

Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, said she believes September is a likely time for the Fed to scale back its bond buying. Yet she doubted it will do anything this week to signal that possibility.

"The less said right now, the better" for financial markets, Swonk said.

David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, said he still thinks the Fed will start trimming its bond purchases gradually starting in September. But he thinks that date could slip if the economy doesn't strengthen over the next two months. Other economists think the Fed may prefer to wait until after September to trim its purchases to make sure the economy is sustaining its gains.

The Fed's moves to reduce its bond purchases will likely occur just as it will be managing a transition to a new leader. Bernanke is widely expected to step down when his second four-year term as chairman ends Jan. 31.

Vice Chair Janet Yellen is viewed as a leading candidate to replace Bernanke, though former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and others have also been mentioned.

The Biggest Conflicts Created By The Most Massive Ad Company ...

When a major marketer chooses to spend hundreds of millions of dollars with a certain ad agency, it usually doesn't expect its arch rival to be housed under the same roof.

But after holding companies Omnicom and Publicis announced its surprise merger Sunday, making it the biggest ad entity in the world, the world couldn't help but notice that huge nemeses had overnight become part of the same family. Pepsi and Coke. AT&T and Verizon. Apple and Google.

Omnicom CEO John Wren adamantly stated that he was not concerned about conflicts of interest.

"We're going to work extremely hard with our clients over problems and try to come up with creative solutions," he said."But at this point, if the deal is completed, there is ? I don't believe, a significant client ... no single client would be significant enough to disturb the deal."

As holding companies have gotten bigger, and conflicts more common, they have come up with creative ways to retain conflicted business. Accounts can be split by geography or by agency, with "firewalls" between them. It's up to the client to trust that the splits are done in good faith, however.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "One analyst said he has heard several times from executives, generally, that if two top ad agencies combined they should expect to lose about 8% to 10% of combined revenues because of conflict clients." Wren thinks the biggest loss would be 1% of revenues.

Since some huge companies with boatloads of different products, like Procter & Gamble, already had different goods living in both Publicis and Omnicom, the merger won't be dramatic for some major clients. But for companies that don't like competition ? S.C. Johnson historically hates conflict ? the partnership could be problematic.

Here are some of the biggest conflicts:

SODA

• Coca-Cola (Publicis' Leo Burnett) vs. PepsiCo. (Omnicom's TBWA)

Pepsi's entire ad campaign in the 1970's and 80's revolved around the Pepsi Challenge, which had a sole purpose of proving that consumers liked drinking Pepsi more than Coke. The fact that the two rivals will now be living under the same roof is by far the biggest conflict created by the merger.?

Ad Age wonders if WPP and Interpublic, two separate holding companies that have both worked with Coca-Cola, might have the ability to steal away the soda.

WIRELESS PROVIDERS

• AT&T (Omnicom) vs. Verizon (Publicis)

In fact, almost every telecom company (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon) will now be under Publicis Omnicom Goupe's creative control if no one moves.

TECHNOLOGY

• Apple and Microsoft (Omnicom) vs. Samsung and Google (Publicis)

BEER

• MillerCoors's Miller Light (Publicis' Saatchi & Saatchi) vs. Anheuser-Busch's Bud Light (Omnicom's BBDO)

A-B InBev, however, isn't concerned and has different labels with each holding company.?"It doesn't change anything related to agency conflict," VP of marketing Paul Chibe told Ad Age in an email. "The holding-company approach is to have different network shops to manage potential conflicts. That doesn't change in the event of a merger. We work with Publicis and Omnicom agencies in many countries."

AUTOMOBILES

• There's a lot of car overlap between the company, although the divergences could still result in conflict. Nissan, General Motors, Toyota, and Volkswagen all have business in both holding companies, Ad Age reports.

A Nissan spokesperson told Reuters,?"Renault and Nissan are both major global clients of both Publicis and Omnicom. We welcome the direction taken by Publicis and Omnicom to create a best-in-class communications, advertising, marketing and digital services company and will continue to work with them."

BMW sales chief Ian Robertson, on the other hand, was less optimistic. "Ideally, clearly we (would) have that independence from other manufacturers," he said. "But in a world which is now connected and there are so many mergers of this type, maybe that's something that is not an ideal position."

US government will declassify Yahoo documents and court decision by September

Earlier this month, the US government was put in the hot seat with regards to the Justice Department's 2008 battle with Yahoo over its request for user data. Yahoo fought the PRISM demand and ultimately lost; five years later, we're finally going to be able to see the court decision that's been kept under lock and key since then. The clock is ticking for the federal government, as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has set a September deadline for unveiling those classified documents. While this might be a victory for transparency, it's important to remember that declassification doesn't necessarily mean full disclosure. The government will still have the option to redact certain portions of text that it feels must remain classified. Considering its reticence to share the information in the first place, we can probably expect to see a liberal distribution of those pesky black rectangles.

CBS renews Stephen King sci-fi series 'Under the Dome'

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Under the Dome," the television science-fiction series based on a Stephen King novel, has been renewed for a second season, U.S. broadcast network CBS said on Monday.

The series, which chronicles the life of a small town that is cut off from the outside world by a giant impenetrable dome, has attracted an average of about 12 million viewers per episode, making it the top scripted series of the summer in the United States.

King, whose novel of the same name was published in 2009, will write the first episode of the second season, which will premiere next summer, CBS said.

King serves as an executive producer of the series along with Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg.

Programming - MSFN

Hello everyone

?

For as long as I can remember I've always liked IT and computer technology, especially software.

?

I now use computers more like a hobby-thing, but I would love to work in the IT-world one day.

?

I've been wondering whether I would like to work as a Sys-Admin or a programmer and came to the conclusion that programming would be my thing. Why? Because I want to CREATE. It's amazing that you can create something by writing code.

?

However, the thing is. I have NO programming skills whatsoever. But I would love to learn.

Where do I start? How did you start? Are you a self-learnd programmer or did you go to collage/university? Is it really neccesary to get a degree in programming if you want to work as a programmer?

?

Again - where do I begin? I'm a complete beginner and wan't a soft start.

?

Looking forward to here from you!

?

Sorry for my english!

?

Thanks

Egypt bitterly divided after 72 die in clashes

Amr Abdallah Dalsh / Reuters

A member of the Muslim Brotherhood and supporter of deposed Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi walks near a Poster of Mursi and bloodstains from protesters who were killed during late night clashes at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, near Rabaa Adawiya Square, Saturday.

By Charlene Gubash and Alastair Jamieson, NBC News

CAIRO - Egyptians remained deeply divided over the future of their country Sunday, with no sign of an end to clashes between rivals groups that left at least 72 dead on Saturday.

Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood said they would not leave the streets despite what they called "massacres" by security forces that shot dozens of them dead.

The spiral of violence has become so bad that Secretary of State John Kerry said Egypt is at "a pivotal moment" more than two years since the uprising ousted the longtime President Hosni Mubarak.

In a statement released Saturday, Kerry said Egypt?s military and interim rulers "have a moral and legal obligation" to respect the right of peaceful assembly and freedom of expression.

He added that the continued violence sets back efforts of "reconciliation and democratization," and affects regional stability.

Also on Saturday, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel spoke by phone with Army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to express deep concern about the security situation and to encourage that restraint be exercised during this "difficult period."

"The United States believes that the current transition needs to be marked by inclusivity, that Egyptian authorities should avoid politicized arrests and detentions, and take steps to prevent further bloodshed and loss of life," Pentagon press secretary George Little said.

Egypt's ambulance service said 72 people were killed in Saturday's violence at a Cairo vigil by backers of deposed President Mohammed Morsi, Reuters reported.

"They will not be content until they bring back everything from the era of the corrupt, murderous security and intelligence state," senior Brotherhood official Essam el-Erian said on Facebook. "They've stepped up their efforts to do so by committing massacres never before seen in Egyptian history."

The Interior Ministry has rejected eyewitness accounts that police opened fire on the crowds and a public prosecutor has launched a probe into the violence, investigating 72 suspects for an array of crimes including murder and blocking streets, Reuters said.

Opinion remains bitterly divided about the violence, and who is to blame.

?What happened violates all religions, laws and common practices,? said Ahmed Farouk, 43, a scientific researcher. ?The police and military have all the tools at their disposal to prove their innocence.?

/

Deadly protests continue weeks after the nation's military removed the president from office.

?Every action has a reaction,? he added. ?Who did the first action??

Omayma Idriss, a gynecologist in his 50s, described Morsi supporters as ?terrorists? and said the killings were carried out by their own side. ?Of course, of course, they did it themselves,? he said.

?I wasn't happy with the army,? said Sahar Mohamed, 35. ?We must settle things peacefully.? They should have used tear gas, but never live ammunition.?

Taxi driver Hossam Said, 28, said he did not believe the claims of Muslim Brotherhood supporters who brandished shells as evidence they had been attacked by the army.

"It doesn't make any sense,? he said. ?How can the person who is shooting at you be half a kilometer away and yet you have the shells? I was in the army and the maximum a shell would go is 20 meters.

"I don't know how some in the back would get shot while some in front were not. I don't know who killed them."

When asked if the army and police should clear Egypt?s squares of pro-Morsi protesters, or let them express their views, he said: "What freedom of expression, what do they have to say? They tried and failed."

Reuters contributed to this report.

Ask Engadget: best outdoor TV?

We know you've got questions, and if you're brave enough to ask the world for answers, then here's the outlet to do so. This week's Ask Engadget inquiry is from John, who is so baller that he wants a TV for his pool and doesn't end his emails with thank you. If you're looking to ask one of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com.

"I'm getting ready to have a pool installed and I need a TV for the back porch. I'm looking for something in the 50-inch range that works outdoors, has good viewing angles and backlighting (for the sun) and can handle whatever the weather throws at it. Any suggestions?"

We can imagine it now, you, kicking back watching the Superbowl American Idol finals while submerged in a few feet of water as the sun goes down. So, what device should you go for? For starters, there's SunBrite's 46-inch outdoor TV, which'll set you back $2,795, or a 55-inch model, which costs $5,595. You could also paint a wall white and get set up with an outdoor projector, like Panasonic's PT-AE7000U, which we're informed will work outside perfectly well. But that's just our scratching the surface, what about you all chip in with a suggestion or two of your own?

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd makes surprise visit to troops at Tarin Kot base in Afghanistan

Updated July 28, 2013 07:39:44

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his wife Therese Rein have made a surprise visit to Australian troops in Afghanistan.

Mr Rudd visited the Australian base in Tarin Kot to thank troops for their service.

It was Mr Rudd's fifth visit to the base.

His first came a just a week after he was elected prime minister in 2007.

Mr Rudd told the troops that it had been a hard, protracted war and that it is time for them to come home.

"Your mums and dads, your brothers and sisters, your wives and husbands and partners, and your kids are all enormously proud of you," he said.

"It's time we brought you home.

"When the flag of Australia is brought down for the last time a few months from now, you will have been?a part of history."

Ms Rein said she was proud to have shaken hands with many of the soldiers.

By the end of the year, 1,000 of the remaining 1,300 Australian troops will have returned to Australia.

Some 300 will remain as advisers and trainers based in Kabul and Kandahar.

The Tarin Kot base will be gifted to the Afghan National Army.

Forty Australian soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan since 2002.

Southampton scientists in cancer breakthrough (From Daily Echo)

Southampton scientists in cancer breakthrough

4:35pm Friday 26th July 2013 in News By Melanie Adams, Health Reporter

SOUTHAMPTON scientists have taken a major step closer to developing groundbreaking new treatments for fighting cancer.

Cancer Research UK scientists at the University of Southampton have discovered a new molecule that prevents cancer cells from surviving when they are starved of oxygen.

They believe that the discovery of this molecule which targets the ?master switch? that cancer cells use to adapt to low oxygen levels can pave the way for new treatments.

The next step will be to find a way to utilise this molecule in a treatment which will kill the cancer cells by starving them of oxygen.

The researchers in the city uncovered a way to stop cancer cells using this switch through an approach called ?synthetic biology?.

By testing 3.2m potential compounds, made by specially engineered bacteria, they were able to find a molecule that stopped HIF-1 from working.

All cells need a blood supply to provide them with the oxygen and nutrients they require to survive.

Cancer tumours grow rapidly and as the tumour gets bigger it outstrips the supply of oxygen and nutrients that the surrounding blood vessels can deliver. But, to cope with this low-oxygen environment, HIF-1 acts as a master switch that turns on hundreds of genes, allowing cancer cells to survive.

HIF-1 triggers the formation of new blood vessels around tumours, causing more oxygen and nutrients to be delivered to the starving tumour, which in turn allows it to keep growing.

Dr Ali Tavassoli, a Cancer Research UK scientist whose team discovered and developed the compound at the University of Southampton, said: ?We've found a way to target the steps that cancer cells take to survive and we hope that our research will one day lead to effective drugs that can stop cancers adapting to a low oxygen environment, stopping their growth.

?The next step is to further develop this molecule to create an effective treatment.?

Dr Julie Sharp, senior science information manager at Cancer Research UK, added: ?Finding ways to disrupt the tools that cancer cells use to adapt and grow when starved of oxygen has been a hot topic in cancer research, but finding drugs that do this effectively has proved elusive.

?For the first time our scientists have found a way to block a master switch controlling cells response to low levels of oxygen - an important step towards creating drugs that could halt cancer in its tracks.?

3 dead when bus carrying teens crashes in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) ? A bus carrying teenagers returning to Indiana from a church camp in Michigan crashed Saturday afternoon just minutes from home, killing three people and sending 26 others to hospitals, officials said.

The bus came speeding off of Interstate 465 in northern Indianapolis, about a mile from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church that passengers attended, struck a retaining wall as it rounded a curve and overturned. The campers were returning from Camp CoBeAc in northern Michigan, about six hours away.

The church's youth pastor had sent a tweet a couple of hours before the crash saying the group was expected to arrive at the church about 4:15 p.m., around the time the accident happened.

"They were not that far from home. That only adds to the tragedy," said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs.

The dead included a man and his wife, Riggs said. Authorities did not provide information about the third victim.

Riggs and Mayor Greg Ballard visited the crash scene, where clothing, pillows and seat cushions from the bus were scattered along with at least two shattered windows, before they headed to the church. Riggs said there was no indication that the driver had a medical emergency and called the accident "a great tragedy."

Ballard said investigators were taking measurements and examining the bus to determine the cause of the crash.

WTHR-TV reported the bus driver told witnesses his brakes failed. Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said police and fire officials had not determined whether the church-owned bus, which was carrying 37 passengers plus the driver, had mechanical issues.

Duane Lloyd told WTHR that he heard a loud noise behind him as he was traveling near the intersection and saw the crash around 4:15 p.m.

"I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus," Lloyd said. "I could have gone my whole life without seeing that."

Karen Woodard, a member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, cried as she stared at the wrecked bus.

"It's so terrible. I can't believe it," she said.

Indianapolis Fire Department said crews had to free five people who were trapped inside after the crash. Several people stopped to help before first responders could arrive, including one man who helped pull the driver out of the bus, the department said.

"People were stopping their cars. People were literally trying to lift the bus," Lloyd said. "You just try to do what you can do."

Fire officials said the injured included children and adults.

Nine teenagers were taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, including one in critical condition. Three of those were treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Sally Winter said. She said 10 others, including nine teenagers and a toddler, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children. Seven of those teenagers were treated and released, Winter said.

Many of the patients were suffering head, arm and leg injuries, fire officials said.

Roads near the scene were closed, and authorities urged people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash.

Outside the church, a yellow school bus with the church school's name was parked outside with piles of sleeping bags and suitcases nearby. Families hugged outside and talked quietly before going inside, where they met with Ballard and Riggs Saturday evening.

Ballard described the families as "remarkably positive" despite their sorrow.

"Some of the teenagers are hurting pretty bad and you can see that in their faces," he said.

Church member Jeff Leffew, 44, of Fishers, who had three daughters on the bus that crashed and a fourth on a second bus, said he was waiting to pick them up in the church parking lot when the second bus arrived. He said he knew immediately that something was wrong because the kids on the bus were screaming.

He went to the crash scene and found his three daughters with only bumps and bruises.

He called the crash scene "surreal."

"You're just praying that it's not as bad as it looks," he said.

Celtics, Nets Top List of NBA Gamblers

Championship contenders are built on calculated risk, just as some of the most lowly, cap-strapped franchises are burned by those very same gambles. Such is the way of it in any industry where the desired resources are so limited. Without enough LeBron Jameses to go around, teams are left to talk themselves into less appealing options at all possible price points, and to compete with one another to acquire them. No matter how much scouting and analysis is done beforehand, the final step in any deal is a plunge ? to commit salary to a player who may fail, may not fit or may suffer some tragic injury.

All is subject to variability and chance, but at the same time not all gambles are created equal. There are wise risks and less sensible ones, sometimes separated by the thinnest...

Canada payrolls show much smaller gain in May than earlier report

OTTAWA (Reuters) - A survey of Canadian businesses showed non-farm payrolls were up just 8,500 in May, less than one tenth of the number released in an early June report that is based on interviews with households.

Thursday's report - the survey of Payroll Employment, Earnings and Hours - obtained data from a business census.

The Labor Force Survey, Canada's most closely watched employment report, showed a gain of 95,000 jobs in May, the biggest monthly gain since August 2002.

Methodological differences bring slightly different results from the two surveys, but usually the trend is similar. Rarely do they contrast so starkly.

The Labour Force Survey can be volatile and economists warn against reading too much into one month's data. On July 5, the survey showed Canada had shed 400 jobs in June.

Virginia Johnson, renowned sex researcher, dies

ST. LOUIS (AP) ? Virginia Johnson, the Missouri farm girl who helped redefine the understanding of human sexuality as half of the husband-wife team whose taboo sex studies in the 1960s turned them into worldwide celebrities and best-selling authors, has died. She was 88.

The pioneering sex researcher died at an assisted living facility in St. Louis on Wednesday after suffering complications from various illnesses, her son Scott Johnson told The Associated Press on Thursday. He said the family was planning a private funeral.

Johnson was in her 30s, a twice-divorced mother of two children, when she went job-hunting at Washington University in St. Louis in the late 1950s, seeking work to support her young family while she pursued a college degree.

She was hired as a secretary at the university's medical school but soon became the assistant and lover of obstetrician-gynecologist William Masters, then co-collaborated on a large-scale human sexuality experiment ? a subject all but taboo at the time.

The couple became known for a revolutionary sexual therapy that brought couples from across the country with sexual dysfunction, including celebrities, to St. Louis for their two-week program.

Masters had impeccable academic and research credentials in infertility and hormone replacement therapy ? but some described him as aloof and austere, often difficult to approach. That's where Johnson came in.

Johnson had a way of putting people at ease, so much so that with "evangelical-like zeal" she figured out how to get volunteers "to drop their pants in the name of science," said author Thomas Maier, who wrote a 2009 book about the couple.

Johnson recruited graduate students, nurses, faculty wives and other participants for what Maier described as the "biggest sex experiment in U.S. history."

The late-hours research, first on the medical school campus and later at a nearby building, shattered basic precepts about female sexuality, including Freud's concept that vaginal ? rather than clitoral ? orgasm was the more mature sexual response for women.

Johnson took the case studies and asked the uncomfortable questions. Hundreds of couples, not all of them married, would participate in the observed research.

"Here's a woman without a college degree who helped to revolutionize medicine's understanding of human sexuality, whose therapies are taught in medical schools in the U.S. and around the world," Maier said in a 2010 interview with The Associated Press.

That research was later discussed in their 1966 book, "Human Sexual Response." And their 1970 book, "Human Sexual Inadequacy," explored a therapy they'd developed for men and women with sexual problems.

Both books were best-sellers translated into dozens of languages.

At the height of their careers, Masters and Johnson were huge celebrities, the topic of late-night talk show hosts and on the cover of news magazines.

They married in 1971 and divorced 20 years later, when Masters left her to pursue a sweetheart from his youth. Johnson never remarried.

Their work had its critics, and it was often frowned upon in some circles in an era when sex was seldom discussed publicly.

"There was a lot of grief," her son said Thursday. "There were threats, things of that kind. She was a very strong woman."

Her attorney, Dave Harlan of St. Louis, echoed those sentiments by describing Johnson as "strong willed, extremely intelligent, extremely independent."

As Masters' health was in decline in the 1990s, and Johnson was caring for him, he announced he was divorcing her. Their facility, the Masters and Johnson Institute in St. Louis, closed in 1994 after Masters retired. He died in 2001.

Scott Johnson said his mother also retired in the early 1990s.

Along with her son, Johnson is survived by her daughter, Lisa Young, and two grandchildren.
