Q&A: Expert outlines Mozilla benefits, part 1
When is a browser more than a browser? When it's the Mozilla platform, a free, open source browser and set of applications, said programmer Nigel McFarlane, author of the recently published book Rapid Application Development with Mozilla, from Prentice Hall PTR. Mozilla's tools for GUI-based business functions fill a client infrastructure gap that's troubled corporate Linux shops, McFarlane said. In part one of this two-part interview, he explains why and how the Mozilla platform can help IT shops better handle quick hacks and desktop business process tasks, as well as Windows-to-Linux migrations and interoperability. In part two, he describes Mozilla tools and tips for using them and explains how IT pros can test the Mozilla waters.
Why should corporate IT professionals be interested in Mozilla?
Mozilla is a very large and flexible product that represents a new sort of client infrastructure for IT professionals. It can be packaged and used in a number of different ways for a number of different end purposes. Within enterprise Linux, it fills a massive hole in the tool sets available for GUI-based business functions. This is the main promise of Mozilla for Linux, in my view. What are the common misconceptions about Mozilla?
To most people, Mozilla is a Web browser. The Mozilla name, however, applies to both end-user products and to a platform technology underneath those products. There are many products and tools that can claim Mozilla inside, like ActiveState's Komodo IDE. Browsers and e-mailers just happen to be highly visible examples.
Another misconception is that Mozilla is little. The installed final products are small and efficient, but the technology that Mozilla is built on is very ambitious and complex. It's a very, very large open source project with very aggressive portability and functionality goals. It's as complex and flexible underneath as a SQL database server, the Linux kernel or J2EE. Could you give a couple of examples of how large enterprises benefit from using Mozilla?
The core use of Mozilla technology is at the user interface. The simplest use is just to deploy existing Mozilla products, which now run on all desktops identically.
[There are] more complex uses of Mozilla. They involve better business process execution on the desktop. Such activities usually require database or content management applications. Support systems, order entry and change tracking are everyday examples. For instance, it's become obvious that LAMP applications (those built with Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP/Perl) can avoid delivering HTML interfaces to the user.
HTML interfaces are a bit clunky and have lots of problems. Mozilla's XUL language provides a way to deliver watertight, professional interfaces, just like traditional GUIs. That removes all of the mess associated with Web page navigation, layout and user performance. It brings back some of the efficiencies still inherent in older character-based systems.
This advance does not require destruction of existing HTML-based applications or of the existing server infrastructure. It can be done as an enhancement. LAMP becomes LAMPX, with X [representing] XUL. This is possible because Mozilla doesn't demand a specific architecture. The Mozilla platform and applications can be sliced a number of ways so that the balance between client and server is determined by people, not dictated by the technology. How can Mozilla benefit an IT shop that's migrating from Windows to Linux?
Moving e-mail and intranet Web browsers to Mozilla is a simple bridging step that prepares ordinary desktop users for a future transition from Windows to Linux.
As I noted earlier, Mozilla is totally cross-platform. You can move your servers to Linux and keep your old clients, and then move your client applications to Mozilla. We're at the stage now where desktops look much alike (or can be made to look much alike). Mozilla applications running with the Modern theme are near identical across Windows, Linux, Macintosh and elsewhere. As long as there's still a Start menu when you swap the operating system underneath, your users will hardly notice the change.
If you develop your own Mozilla applications, then there's little to do, in migration terms. Those applications run the same everywhere; just copy the files, or point the new desktop to the existing server. How about IT shops that run both Windows and Linux?
Well, again you have portability. For Web or Internet-enabled uses, Mozilla clients run against any standards-compliant server.
One frustration with Linux has been the lack of a well-established GUI tool for throwing together quick hacks. Windows IT people love the convenience of Visual Basic for simple GUI tasks. Linux has Tcl/Tk, but now we have Mozilla as well. Tcl/Tk is good, but Mozilla is better integrated with the desktop and it uses a more accessible language: JavaScript. You can build simple control panels in Mozilla using existing Web skills.

Pokémon - I Choose You! (ポケモン!きみにきめた! Pokémon! I Choose You!) is the 1st episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
Every time a child turns ten, they go on a Pokémon journey. This is the case of a boy named Ash Ketchum, who is about to get his starter Pokémon. After his clock fell down, he rushes to Professor Oak's lab and gets a Pikachu. However, Pikachu is stubborn and does not want to help Ash. However, Ash makes a flock of Spearow angry and they attack him and Pikachu. How will Ash defend his first Pokémon and gain Pikachu's trust?
Episode Plot
A battle between a Nidorino and Gengar is broadcast on the television and, after Gengar gets the advantage, Nidorino is called back and switched for Onix. The cameras then show ten-year-old Ash Ketchum watching the battle on television until he is interrupted by his mother. She tells Ash to go to sleep. Ash protests and she changes the channel to a program with Professor Oak describing the three Pokémon he can choose from in the morning: the grass type Bulbasaur, the water type Squirtle and the fire type Charmander. Ash falls asleep and dreams about owning a Bulbasaur and then a Squirtle, talking about the advantages in his sleep. The next morning, Ash dreams about owning a Charmander, throwing a Poké Ball, which turns out to be his alarm clock, designed to look like a Voltorb.
When the alarm clock hits the wall Ash wakes up and rushes, still in his pajamas, to Professor Oak's laboratory to collect his first Pokémon. Ash, however, runs into Gary Oak, the professor's grandson, along with the people of Pallet Town, who, along with Gary's cheerleaders, show their support for Gary. Gary tells Ash that he already got his Pokémon, although he does not tell Ash which Pokémon he chose. Gary, who tells Ash that he is already behind, leaves with his cheerleaders and the townsfolk following. Professor Oak then appears, telling Ash that he is late. The two go inside, where the Professor tells him that the three starter Pokémon have been taken by trainers who were on time.
The Professor tells Ash that there is still one Pokémon left, a Pikachu. Professor Oak then warns Ash that it might not be a good idea to choose Pikachu. However, Ash decides to take Pikachu, but Pikachu is not as happy and electrocutes Ash. Oak then gives Ash his Pokédex and Poké Balls, with Pikachu electrocuting both Ash and Professor Oak. Ash then leaves the laboratory and is greeted by his mother and the people of Pallet Town. His mother is impressed with choice but Pikachu electrocutes Ash's mom and the crowd. Ash is given his backpack filled with supplies and some advice from his mother, and leaves, literally dragging Pikachu behind him, after tying a rope around Pikachu's waist and using rubber gloves to protect himself.
After dragging Pikachu along for a while, he decides to try and improve his relationship with Pikachu by untying him and taking off the rubber gloves. Pikachu, however, continues to ignore Ash's instructions, including when he asks Pikachu to attack a Pidgey. Ash throws a Poké Ball and almost captures Pidgey, who escapes and runs away, with Pikachu happily laughing at Ash's failed attempt. Ash then decides to sneak up on Pidgey, hiding behind his pajama top, later using it to trap Pidgey, who escapes using its Gust attack and then its Sand Attack. Pikachu continues to laugh at Ash, who then watches a Rattata steal food from his backpack.
Ash, more determined than ever, turns around and spots three Pidgey, including the one he had tried to capture. Ash throws a rock but misses, with the three Pidgey flying away. Ash then spots another Pokémon and throws a rock, and hits his target. The Pokémon, however, is a Spearow, who begins to attack Ash and then Pikachu. Pikachu uses ThunderShock to scare Spearow away, although Spearow cries out and a whole flock begins to attack Ash and Pikachu, who run away but are easily caught and attacked by the Spearow. Pikachu, who had run ahead of Ash, takes a lot of damage before Ash arrives to scare away the attacking Spearow.
Ash picks Pikachu up and runs to a cliff edge, where he decides to jump off and into the water below, where he sees a Magikarp and a Gyarados. He then grabs a fishing lure and is pulled out by Misty, who questions Ash about the state Pikachu is in, telling him of a nearby Pokémon Center. Ash takes her bike and cycles off towards the Pokémon Center, with the flock of Spearow following behind them. Ash crashes the bike and crawls over to Pikachu, putting a Poké Ball out for Pikachu to enter, to protect it from the attacking Spearow. Ash then stands up to the Spearow, challenging them to attack him. Pikachu, seeing Ash's courage and determination to protect him gets to his feet and climbs onto Ash's shoulder, jumping into the air and using a lighting bolt to release a strong ThunderShock attack, which scares away the Spearow flock.
Later on, when the storm clears, Ash and Pikachu wake up. Ash tells Pikachu that they beat the Spearow Gang and Pikachu nods in agreement. Ash looks up into the sky and sees a mysterious flying Pokémon in the sky towards a rainbow. The Pokédex can give Ash no information as it was not registered in it and tells Ash that there were still more Pokémon which have not been discovered. Ash and Pikachu decide to walk on towards the Pokémon Center in the next city (Viridian City), as Misty's bike is too badly damaged to use. The two continue walking and eventually, from a hilltop, are able to look down on the city as the episode ends.

The Video
Last week the new Beckham Armani ads were released. Husband and Wife PoseHard in their underwear with a giant rope. Needless to say, Victoria isn't smiling.
But now a behind-the-scenes video is available – thanks Lynzi! And Posh giggles…twice! As we always say she is so much cuter when she does.
It's Beckham Porn! Their glistening bodies writhing all over each other. Her body contorted expertly for the best, and THINNEST, angle. And Becks showing off, damn, every inch of goodness. Of course the trademark squint too. Not quite as quivery as the W Magazine photoshoot, but almost. He is so f-cking hot.
Might want to close the office door. Or make sure you're alone.

Jimmy Fallon revives "The Tonight Show"
Four nights in, our party host is firmly in control. Not only has Jimmy Fallon offered a barbershop quartet version of R. Kelly's "Ignition," a dance-off with Will Smith, charades with Tim McGraw and Emma Thompson, and a sketch with First Lady Michelle Obama (in which he played a tween girl, "Ew!").
Not only has he welcomed Joan Rivers back into the inner circle after she was exiled by Johnny Carson/Jay Leno for years for committing the sin of launching her own rival late-night show.
Not only has he pushed updated the operation from the analog era of "Jay-walking" to align with the digital present. #hashtagnation #hashtaggame #latenightearlier.
Not only has it been a visual treat to see 30 Rock's rooftop, some of the most valuable real estate in the world, used as a concert stage. U2 and Arcade Fire (doing a video selfie!) Not only that, but Fallon has proven that smart pre-taped music and dance pieces — and Brian Williams edited into rap artistry — seamlessly inserted in the hour take it to a level. The only misfire of the week so far was the Kristin Wiig as Harry Styles interview (did she lose it? was she out of it?)
Fallon has energized "The Tonight Show" as promised. His laughter is contagious. It's a ratings success so far (7 million viewers check it out nightly; locally KUSA reports a 29 share average, the average for Leno in January among adults 25-54 was an 8 share, although the Olympics and first-week curiosity must figure in.) It's also qualitatively reinvigorated from the old Burbank days. All that — and we haven't even gotten to tonight's Justin Timberlake appearance, which very likely will be a viral keepsake.

I need to see it again.herb wrote:Oh, anybody else think Nielsen's elbow to Kesler's head was the definition of a "blindside hit to the head"?
I watched the Isles feed with the sound off and didn't catch all of the game but I did see that hit.
My first take is that it looks an awful lot like so many of those hits everyone is up in arms about - player making a play for the puck, opposing player cuts into his path and gets a piece of his face/head.
It obviously was not a high speed collision and there were some other weird factors (I didn't think Kesler got "elbowed" but it did look like he was tripped up from behind) and on the Isles feed they slowed it down so much that it barely looked like a collision at all on the replay.
I guess my biggest takeaway is that I never have any inclination of what's going to be a penalty or why anymore. So good job NHL, I guess..

Associates at the Arvest Bank branch in Lead Hill will host a father/daughter dance on April 28 from 4-6p.m. in the Lead Hill School cafeteria located at 6966 Milum Road. The event is an opportunity for dads and daughters to spend quality time together, but also is a fundraiser for Arvest Bank's 8th Annual 1 Million Meals campaign that works to reduce food insecurity in the more than 120 communities Arvest serves.
"Children often want to give back to their community, but often they don't know how they can help," said Tiffany Watkins, assistant vice president and marketing director for Arvest Bank in North Central Arkansas. "This dance is focused on quality time for dads and their daughters, and it presents a great opportunity to help other children in our area, and teach about community service as well."
Tickets to the father/ daughter dance may be purchased at the Arvest Bank branch in Lead Hill located at 167 W. Hwy. 14, or at the dance. Tickets are $10. Light refreshments will be served at the event.
The 1 Million Meals campaign challenges bank associates, customers and community members to participate in fundraising efforts and nonperishable food drives to fight hunger in the more than 120 communities the bank serves. The initiative is needed, as Arkansas ranks 5th among the most food-insecure states in the nation, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Lead Hill residents can participate in 1 Million Meals by dropping off nonperishable food items or monetary donations at Arvest Bank or by calling (866) 952-9523. Arvest credit card customers can donate Arvest Flex Rewards™ points by visiting arvestflexrewards.com and clicking on the 1 Million Meals banner. Every dollar raised through 1 Million Meals provides the equivalent of five meals for those in need.
To learn more about 1 Million Meals, visit arvest.com/millionmeals.
For questions or additional information on the father/daughter dance, call (870) 449-7260.

Presidential candidates often struggle to explain their economic policies in the detail sought by media questioners. But that won't be a problem for Laurence Kotlikoff, a financial economist and familiar name to investment professionals who read his Bloomberg columns or attend conferences featuring the Boston University professor's brand of thought leadership. Kotlikoff has announced his candidacy for president of the United States, running as a candidate of Americans Elect, an Internet-based third-party platform that promises to place its top vote-getter on the ballot in each of the 50 states.
Kotlikoff (left) has written several books and numerous articles, giving the economist a highly specific paper trail on a host of issues ranging from sweeping tax reform to overhauling the financial regulatory system. Interested citizens can read his often granular policy proposals on his campaign website.
In a telephone interview with AdvisorOne, the 61-year-old professor said his campaign is about "policies not people, about the next generation not ourselves" but the rhetorical flourishes expanded into a broader analysis when he was asked questions such as what is the biggest problem facing the country today.
"The immediate problem is we have a very uncoordinated economy," Kotlikoff says. "There are some 29 million Americans who are out of the labor force because they're discouraged or they're working less than they'd like. Everyone is earning less than they'd like. The challenge is getting all these people back to full-time employment. To do that we need to be organizing a collective hiring action by employers without ordering them or subsidizing them. We need to hire en masse; just like they were firing en masse."
Asked how he would accomplish the mass hiring action, the candidate cited the jawboning precedent of President John F. Kennedy in 1962 when he pressured the steel industry to reverse planned price increases the president thought to be dangerously inflationary. Kotlikoff says our next president "needs to get the top 1,000 CEOs in a room and lock the door [figuratively, he later added] and talk with them as long as it takes; and explain to them that they need to hire, hire, hire. They need to increase their employment by 5%."
Kotlikoff argues that today's economy is characterized by "coordination failure" that calls for a policy approach different from normal times when the economy is "in a good equilibrium." He compares our situation today to the Great Depression, from which we emerged via the government's role in coordinating supply and demand through our military build-up for World War II.
"By hiring people, the military was like one huge firm that was hiring and producing output and demanding that same output," Kotlikoff says. In the current economic crisis, Kotlikoff says the Germans have maintained high employment by actively adjusting "wage demand." In less technical terms, Kotlikoff says that as president he'd be "in the faces of the employers day and night."
After employment, the second critical issue Kotlikoff cites is our nation's debt, whose true enormity "is carefully concealed from the public," he says. Retirees are now receiving, on average, more than $30,000 per capita in Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security benefits.
When the number of baby boomers collecting benefits rises to 78 million and we're paying $40,000 (in today's dollars), on average, to each of them, the annual cost will be over $3 trillion. "This is a problem for which we need to do open heart surgery not administer more Band-Aids," he says.
To address runaway entitlements that Kotlikoff says benefits older Americans with wealth at the expense of younger Americans without it, the financial economist has drafted a number of "purple plans" aimed at appealing both to "red" Republicans and "blue" Democrats. These plans cover taxes, healthcare, Social Security, energy and more, and aim to restore financial equilibrium to costs and benefits. "You can't have per capita benefit levels growing at a 1.9% higher rate than GDP per capita for over 40 years," he says.
On health care, for example, Kotlikoff estimates we can get rid of 60% of the problem off the bat "by stabilizing health care spending. Give everybody a basic health insurance plan. Everybody gets a voucher, but it depends on your pre-existing health," with a diabetic, for example, getting a more generous voucher. "No health insurance company can turn them down. The government gives them a voucher and uses the tax system to pay for it," he adds.
Asked whom he'd choose as a vice presidential running mate if he became the Americans Elect third party candidate, Kotlikoff said his first choice would be "a former high ranking member of the military whom I know and respect deeply," but whom he would not identify because talks with this person are ongoing.
But he was clear he would not choose any of the current candidates: "Politicians have done us great harm. We don't need more politicians. We need an economics doctor. And national security has to be handled properly," for which reason he would want his running mate to have complementary experience in foreign and military affairs.
As for the incumbent, Kotlikoff says the policies from the 2009 stimulus to the present day have been misguided. "He and his team badly misread the nature of the economic malady. Consequently, they were applying the wrong medicine. Giving payroll tax cuts to people with jobs–how will that help people who don't have jobs?"

Thanks to some eavesdropping, we've got the very first full images of Nissan's new Sport Sedan Concept, and it's pretty striking. We've seen it teased in artfully-frustrating low-light shots before, but this is the first full reveal. And it's so very orange.
This is likely to hint at the design direction for a hypothetical upcoming Maxima, and there's a number of compelling design details going on here. The C-pillar has a novel looking little break that separates the roof from the lower body, there's some dramatically shaped front wheel arches, and an interesting use of multiple creases and intaglio areas on the side. The B-pillar seems to be blacked out and glassed-over, but I think hoping for a pillarless sedan may be too much.
Up front is a little busy with the integration of Nissan's corporate horseshoe/square boomerang grille, and it's likely the car would be cleaner without it. Still, overall, the proportions look great, and I'm excited to inspect this thing more when they really take the cover off.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Legislation to force U.S. banks to drastically raise their capital buffers - a proposal that has been criticized as a veiled attempt to break up the biggest banks - was presented in a slightly weakened form by two senators on Wednesday.
The two, Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, and David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, want to ditch a global accord on capital standards known as Basel III and put more straightforward caps on how much banks can borrow.
The bill, which adds to a rising chorus of big-bank critics in Washington even if it stands little chance of getting adopted, requires banks with more than $500 billion in assets to have at least 15 percent of shareholder equity.
In a draft proposal, Brown and Vitter had set a minimum capital ratio of 10 percent for all banks, but the final text of the bill lowered that to 8 percent for those banks with more than $50 billion in assets.
Bank regulators could set the capital ratio for banks that were even smaller, the bill said.
"This is a bank break-up proposal," said Tony Fratto, who works at consulting firm Hamilton Place Strategies. "Mandating new and punitive capital charges, and walking away from international agreements ... is misguided."
The debate about whether Washington has done enough to stave off the risk of a taxpayer bailout of Wall Street has heated up in recent weeks, with politicians and even some regulators calling to do more to prevent the next crisis.
Basel III calls on banks to hold up to 13 percent of capital, but that level is determined based on the riskiness of assets, making it far less demanding than the Brown-Vitter proposal.
Many lawmakers, banks and regulators have also criticized the Basel approach as too complicated.
There is little chance of political consensus on any plan to carve up banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup or Bank of America, though another major mishap at one of these banks might change that.
The Senate last month approved a largely symbolic measure to eliminate a "subsidy" banks receive in the form of cheaper borrowing, because markets assume that governments will always bail them out if they land in trouble.
Small banks grouped together in the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) welcomed the law, which also provides relief for small banks from a range of other rules that have been written after the financial crisis.
Representative Jeb Hensarling - a Texas Republican who chairs the influential House Financial Services Committee - equally promised small banks relief from the increasing regulatory burden at an ICBA conference on Wednesday.
Democrats and Republicans in the committee were negotiating about a "bipartisan regulatory relief bill", Hensarling said. He declined to say what would be in the bill.

As you all know, I am constantly trying out new beauty products — some aren't for everyday use (like face masks), others are too pricey so I don't re-buy unless I think they are really worth it, and then some are just not awesome enough for a second chance.
Today, I wanted to share what I'm currently using on a daily basis. It's my latest and possibly my favorite beauty regimen to date. Here are the very natural, multipurpose, and affordable products I would highly recommend:
- Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Liquid Soap – My new daily face wash. It gets rid of dead skin like no other, but doesn't over-dry or irritate my sensitive skin. It's powerful stuff so they recommend diluting it, but to be honest – I don't! I use just 2-3 pure drops, put it directly on my skin, and wash it off quickly. If you google a bit, a lot of people have found this to be extremely helpful for acne. Added bonus – this soap literally has at least 17 other uses. I think I have finally found a face wash that I will use for life. ($6.39 for 8 oz)
- Baking Soda – Combine about teaspoon with a little water in your hand and you have yourself a incredibly cheap and effective yet gentel facial scrub. I use this 1 – 2 times per week. ($1 for 16 oz)
- Heritage's Rose Petals Rosewater – A perfect facial toner for all skin types, but especially sensitive or mature. It's so simple yet so luxurious – it smells like pure roses! Naturally loaded with vitamin C, it aids in collagen production. I put a little on a cotton ball and use it on my entire face and neck after I get out of the shower. ($5.49 for 4 oz)
- derma e® Hyaluronic Acid Serum – I am LOVING this as my daytime moisturizer. My skin absorbs it so well and it has such a nice light scent of plumeria. The hyaluronic acid draws in moisture plumping skin and reducing the signs of aging. It's oil-free making it a great choice for those who are blemish-prone or just don't like a heavy moisturizer. ($29.50 or less for 2 fl oz)
- Egyptian Magic – A friend told me how she was using it around her eyes (to prevent lines) so I decided to give it a try. This all purpose balm has some of the most therapeutic natural ingredients around. When I occasionally get eczema on my hand, it clears it up within an hour or two. If used only as an eye cream, a little goes a long way so then the price becomes incredibly reasonable for the size ($37.20 for 4 oz ).
- Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick – With a roller ball applicator, this all natural blemish treatment is so quick and easy to apply. I love that it goes on clear, unlike many blemish treatments. Also, studies have shown tea tree oil to be as effective as benzyl peroxide for treating pimples! ($6.59 for .33 fl oz)
- Aloe Vera Gelly by Lily of the Desert – I use this as my night cream becomes I am so sick of products (natural and not quite so natural) clogging my pores. This cooling gel leaves skin noticeably nourished and calmer by morning. It's an excellent choice in general if you're prone to redness/irritation. ($4.59 for 4 oz)
Do you have a beauty regimen? I would love to hear what it is!

Breast Cancer Awareness Shirts
Mark Christopher Originals Help Support The Fight!
Cancer is just plain stupid. We all know about it and we all hate it. That's why we do whatever we can to raise awareness about it so that we may help stop or even cure it in the future.
Mark Christopher Originals is doing its part in the fight against breast cancer by selling hot rod pink ribbon original t-shirts for both men and women. Mark Christopher Originals has decided to donate $5 for every t-shirt that is sold for the cause. The money will go to help fund mammograms, breast health services, and finding a cure.
Sadly today, 1 in 8 women in the United States will get breast cancer over the course of their lives. Every 3 minutes someone is diagnosed with breast cancer and every 13 minutes a woman is killed from breast cancer. In 2012, 227,000 women were diagnosed and 40,000 of those women lost their lives.
Breast cancer can be stopped with exercise and less consumption of alcohol. If you think you have breast cancer or know someone that might, it is important to seek treatment options earlier than later.
You can visit www.MarkChristopher.org for more details and you can pick up a t-shirt for $24.00. Help support the fight against breast cancer and look wicked cool doing it!

While its name tantalizes the libido with possibilities of a super sex cream/adhesive, the X-Paste is just for teeth (though what you do in the privacy of your bathroom is not for us to judge).
Mounting on your wall, the X-Paste is a pump that distributes the "perfect" amount of toothpaste on your brush. We've looked through the entire site, but we're still not certain how one pumps the device or defines "perfect" amount. So we'll have to assume that advanced AI uses a dual brainwave/stank breath detector to provide handless pumping that spews hundreds of gallons of toothpaste at
unwilling willing bathroom-goers. $59

Save Time and Money, Use Online Medical Management System
Dr. Maulik July 8th, 2010
When your health care center is as busy as GrandStation, there are a few, if not many, chances that the medical front office executive staff fails in managing the patients' flow. Simplest example for this mismanagement is time overlapping when the appointments are allotted to the patients. Also, the patients may complain about getting busy telephonic tone for quite a long duration. On the other hand, the staff is incapable handling many calls at a time and hence, cannot satisfy all customers calling at health care center.
The solution for these hurries and worries is Automated Medical Management System which is popular as Online Patient Appointment Scheduler. Using Online Patient Appointment Scheduling system, you can not only manage the appointments as asked by patients but can also use the system in many ways.
Let us learn how Online Patient Appointment Scheduling System helps in overall medical office management…
Online Doctor (Patient) Appointment Scheduling System allows the patients to directly log on to the system and book their appointments without calling the human medical front desk executive. Advanced feature called Google Sync transfers the entire data (schedules) to the Google Calendar, which is accessible using hand-held devices such as Blackberry, HTC phone, Smartphone and iPhone. Furthermore, a 2-way sync allows the user to manipulate (reschedule or cancel) the appointment without contacting health care center. This is a kind of having clinic management in hand wherever you go!!!
Specially designed appointment system can also work as medical answering system. It can answer patients' calls the way doctor wants. Also, the doctor can feed the answers according to her/his expertise. No matter many patients calling at same time, no one of them would get busy tone!
Medical answering system can also work as patient reminder wherein the system automatically calls the patients and notify them about their due visits. The doctor can build a rapport as patient would feel being personally cared. They can be informed about their dietary chart and any regimen too.
A prepaid option in appointment schedule can reduce the chances of losing the money in case of no-show patients as it asks for the consultation fees before patient arrive to the center to see doctor.
All-in-all, a web-based appointment scheduling system is worth to turn medical office automated for taking it to a skyrocketing growth.

警方发现Maersk Alabama号船上两名美国人死亡
塞舌尔群岛警方周三称Maersk Alabama号集装箱船上发现有两具美国安保人员尸体。
Maersk Alabama号船2009年在非洲东海岸差点被索马里海盗劫持。2013年放映的《菲利普船长》电影是基于此事件拍摄的。
这两名人员是Trident集团员工,这是一家位于弗吉尼亚州的海上安保服务公司。该公司总裁Tom Rothrauff称这两名人员是前海豹突击队队员。
"这件事很怪异。当然,也很令人震惊。他们都很优秀", Rothrauff说,"我完全不知道发生了什么事情"。
马士基航运公司资深总监Kevin N. Speers在一份声明里称安保承保人员是于1月29日登上船只的,他们的死亡和"船只操作或他们作为安保人员的责任无关"。
"签约的安保是保护船员和船只的反海盗防护计划的一部分",Speers说, "Maersk Alabama号船开始为非洲东海岸提供支线运输服务后,就一直在高风险海域航行。船只已清关可装卸货物了,现在靠泊等待后续检查"。
海岸警卫队二级军士长Daniel Tremper称美国海岸警卫队收到了这两名美国公民死亡的通知,正在进行调查,但"由于调查性质,现在我们能做的就这些"。
国务院发言人Marie Harf已确认这两名人员是美国公民。Harf称海岸警卫队参与调查是因为Maersk Alabama号船是一艘悬挂美国旗帜的船只。
2009年4月,四名武装海盗企图在索马里海岸380英里处劫持Maersk Alabama号船。船员将海盗的船只击沉、挫败他们劫持这艘集装箱船的企图后,海盗将Richard Phillips船长绑架到一艘救生艇上。3天后,海军狙击兵将三名海盗射死、抓获第四名海盗后,绑架事件结束。Phillips船长安然无恙。
Police: 2 Americans found dead on Maersk Alabama -- 'Captain Phillips' ship
Two American security officers have been found dead on the Maersk Alabama container ship, police in the Seychelles said Wednesday.
The vessel was moored at Port Victoria in the Indian Ocean archipelago. The men, both 44, were found dead on Tuesday. CNN first learned about the incident on Twitter.
"A postmortem will be carried out this week in order to establish the cause of their sudden deaths," police said, adding that the police investigation is ongoing.
The Maersk Alabama was targeted by Somali pirates in an attempted hijacking off the east coast of Africa in 2009. The 2013 film "Captain Phillips" is based on the incide
The two men worked for Trident Group, a Virginia-based maritime security services firm. The company's president, Tom Rothrauff, said the men were former Navy SEALs.
"It's bizarre. Of course, it's a shock. They're all great guys," Rothrauff said. "I'm absolutely clueless as to what happened."
Kevin N. Speers, a senior director for Maersk Line Limited, said in a statement that the security contractors boarded the vessel on January 29, and that their deaths were were "not related to vessel operations or their duties as security personnel."
Maersk Line Limited contracts with Trident Group in accordance with U.S. Coast Guard security directives, Speers said in the statement.
"Contracted security is part of anti-piracy protection plans to safeguard crews and vessels," Speers said. "In Maersk Alabama's case, she is persistently in high-risk areas since she provides feeder service to the east coast of Africa. The vessel was cleared to complete cargo operations, and she is now at anchor awaiting further instructions."
Senior Chief Petty Officer Daniel Tremper said the U.S. Coast Guard had been notified about the deaths of two U.S. citizens and is investigating, but "due to the nature of the investigation, that will be about all that we can provide right now."
State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf confirmed the men were U.S. citizens. The Coast Guard is involved in the investigation because the Maersk Alabama is a U.S.-flagged ship, Harf said.
Police said the ship arrived in the Seychelles on Sunday with a 24-man crew and had been expected to leave Tuesday.
The bodies were found by a colleague who had gone to check in on one of the men in a cabin at about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Seychelles police said.
In April 2009, four armed pirates attempted to hijack the Maersk Alabama 380 miles off the coast of Somalia. After the crew sank the pirates' vessel and foiled their efforts to take control of the container ship, the pirates took the ship's captain, Richard Phillips, hostage on a lifeboat. The incident ended three days later when Navy sharpshooters killed three of the pirates and captured the fourth. Phillips was unharmed.
The ship was attacked by pirates again later that year, but armed security personnel fought them off. Another attempt by pirates to board the ship, in March 2011, was thwarted when security personnel fired warning shots.

Gluten is not a problem for me, but I know folks with Celiac's disease or allergies, whose diets must be free from the protein found in wheat, rye, barley and other such grains. It's a tough diet to follow. I came across this recipe and wanted to share it with you, but didn't want to pass it on until I made and tasted it. Today was the day. I really did not care for the cake. That may be due to my unfamiliarity with baked goods made from brown rice flour. I thought the cake was dry and dense. The number and quantity of spices give it a flavor that resembles a standard spice cake, but the texture is grainy - almost sandy. It might be a real treat for someone whose diet is restricted, but it's probably not for the rest of us. I made one change to the recipe. I substituted cardamom for ground cloves because I thought the cloves would overwhelm the other spices. The cake is simple to do and, if you know or love someone with a gluten problem, you might want to try this. I never realized how restricting a gluten-free diet can be. I'll keep looking for some decent recipes.
Gluten-Free Spice Cake
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup honey
2 eggs
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup soy flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1-1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/4 cup finely chopped dried apricots
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
2) In a large bowl, beat applesauce, honey, eggs, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine rice flour, soy flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice and cardamom in a large mesh strainer; gradually sift contents into applesauce mixture. Stir until blended. Fold in walnuts, apricots and orange peel.
3) Transfer to prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 32 minutes, or until or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 9 servings.

I breast fed my first three children for over a year each.
Then my twins came along. I fully planned on breastfeeding them. I was completely confident that I would be able to do so since I had successfully breast fed my first three children, but it didn't work out that way.
My twins were born almost 2 months prematurely and were bottle fed in the NICU. I didn't try very hard to get them to nurse while they were in the hospital because they were so little and it tired them out and I thought I'd be able to get them to change over to nursing once they came home. I was wrong. I brought my boys home and they would not nurse. They wouldn't even suckle when I offered them the breast. I felt like a failure as a mother and decided that pumping breast milk was the only other option open to me in order to give the twins the best nutrition possible, but also for financial reasons. I did not want to pay for expensive infant formula for two children when I could offer them pumped breast milk.
Eventually, my milk supply could not keep with the demand of my twins and I started to supplement with expensive name brand formula. Slowly my milk dried up completely and I started to exclusively feed them infant formula. The price of brand-name formula for both of them was astronomical and so I decided to try a store brand. I carefully compared the ingredients and nutritional information and was astounded to see that I could buy a formula with the same ingredients for a fraction of the cost of the brand-name formula.
The medical and scientific communities agree that breastfeeding is best for babies. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes breast milk as the gold standard in infant nutrition.
What do you do though if for whatever reason you can't breastfeed? You use the safest alternative: infant formula. If you are dealing with guilt like I did, you might feel that you need to use the name brand formulas that claim to offer all of the same benefits of breast milk.
"Buying a heavily marketed, expensive, name-brand infant formula from a big pharmaceutical company does not get your baby closer to human breast milk than a store-brand formula. Mothers can chose to supplement their breast milk with any formula because all formulas are regulated by the FDA and nutritionally equivalent", reports Dr. Barbara Levine of Weill Cornell Medical College.
After the guilt of not being able to breastfeed my babies wore off, I realized something I wish I had realized sooner: having the ability to breastfeed one's baby does not make one a good mother. All that guilt I carried around was silly, really, and my babies that were fed store brand formula for 6 months of their lives are every bit as healthy, happy and well adjusted as my children that were breast fed.

ROSELAND — The 17-year-old Morgan Park High School senior killed after a melee between two top-ranked basketball teams dreamed of a better life and wanted to join the Navy.
Tyrone Lawson, who friends said was known as "Ty Meezy," was fatally shot outside Chicago State University in the 9500 block of South King Drive, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Authorities said two people were in custody after the shooting, and a weapon was recovered from the scene, which was the site of a marquee matchup between top-ranked Simeon Career Academy and Morgan Park High School. The game featured Jabari Parker, one of the nation's top-ranked basketball recruits, who will attend Duke University in the fall.
Lawson was an honor student at Morgan Park High School, said his stepfather, Gregory Young. His cousin, William Taylor, 26, who enlisted in the Navy in 2008, said and Lawson would often talk about the future.
"He wanted to get away from the negativity and stereotypes of this place," Taylor said. "Being a black man, he didn't want to be slain and become a statistic."
His grandmother, Barbara Van Hughs, said Lawson was a "well-behaved" only child with a "great smile." She said she taught him to read the Bible every day.
"He was such a giant," she said of the boy, who stood more than 6 feet tall. "He would say, 'Grandma, you're growing shorter."
Lawson was excited to see his Morgan Park Mustangs take on Simeon, and asked to borrow $10 for admission from his mother, Pamela Wright. Later, she waited for him to call her for a ride home, Van Hughs said.
"She was trying to protect him from what happened," she said. "This was his senior year. He would never be able to go to another big game after it."
She complained of lax security, though Chicago Public Schools said in a statement proper security protocol was followed.
"There wasn't enough security at the game," Van Hughs said. "I am 100 percent for bringing in the National Guard (to Chicago). I don't want anyone else feeling like I'm feeling. This isn't just happening to our family."
Classmate Harlie Bivens, 18, took a journalism class with Lawson. In an interview for the class, Lawson told her he wanted to join the Navy after high school and wanted to become a parole officer.
He said he had dreams of being a provider for his family.
His dream life, he said, was "to get money and make sure my family is good. To get married, settle down and be [a] good man, to have no worries."
Lawson, of the 11600 block of South Peoria Street, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office, was shot after the game in the university parking lot about 9:15 p.m., Chicago State police chief Ronnie Watson said.
Chicago State hosted the game because it is a neutral location, Chicago Public Schools officials said. CPS often uses such sites to accommodate fans and media. CPS stated that all proper security measure were in place.
"Screening was done to prevent weapons from entering the game," a CPS statement said. "Everyone was searched, even the media and the teams. We worked closely with CSU security and CPD to ensure that no incidents occurred during the game and that everyone exited the game peacefully."
No charges have been announced, Watson said.
Watson would not say whether the suspects were juveniles or adults. He said the incident still is being investigated, but newspaper accounts and Lawson's friends said an argument after the game might have led to the shooting.
Police were called to Chicago State after the two teams scuffled in the postgame handshake line. Lawson tweeted about the melee: "n----- calling police dat s--- crazy," he wrote.
Classmate Keonna Campbell, 18, described Lawson as a peacemaker.
"He never wanted to get in a fight with anybody. He was just walking to his car and was in the wrong place," she said.
Watson would not say whether university police were present when the shooting happened or how many officers, if any, were on duty during or after the game.
"It's part of the investigation," Watson said. "I will not speak to that."
University police officials are leading the investigation, though the Chicago Police Department is assisting, Watson said.
"Their assistance during this investigation, hopefully, will allow us to come to a successful conclusion," Watson said.
Watson did not say whether Chicago State will host future CPS games.
Morgan Park senior Stephon Bobo said he met Lawson right before the two started high school, and they became good friends.
Bobo said the two would play pickup games of basketball before school, after school and during school.
Lawson played center in the pickup games and had good hands, Bobo said.
"He knew how to pass the ball like a point guard," Bobo said Thursday morning.
But despite his size, Lawson wasn't a bully, Bobo said.
"He wasn't someone to start stuff," he said. "He got along with everybody."
Bobo said the two would talk almost daily about the violence in Lawson's West Pullman neighborhood, and their hopes for a different future once they graduated.
Lawson wanted to go beyond where he was raised, Bobo said, and "find a job, find something better."
"All the time, every day, we'd have a conversation about the stuff that's been going on," Bobo said. "He wanted to become more, and get away from everything that's negative."
Bobo said he last talked to Lawson during Wednesday night's game. Lawson texted him the score.
"Right after school [on Wednesday] he was talking about the game and whether I was going to go," Bobo said.
Bobo said the two schools have a heated sports rivalry but that he doesn't think the rivalry played a part in the shooting.
"I think it was too many people in the same spot," he said. "I don't think it had anything to do with the schools."
Bobo said one of his family members told him about the shooting this morning. He wanted to believe, somehow, that it was another Tyrone Lawson who attended Morgan Park.
The student body already has dealt with numerous losses, including the murder of 16-year-old Taylor Fitting a few months ago and the recent loss of a beloved security guard.
Bobo said the guard suffered a fatal heart attack.
Junior Deion Fields, 17, said Lawson loved playing spades and would always make people laugh.
"He was funny," said Tyana Porter, 15, a sophomore. "He was always trying to kick it with somebody. He always says 'what up' in the hall and compliments you on your clothes."
The death of his friend has been difficult, Bobo said.
"I done cried a few times today," he said. "It was just hard. A lot of people couldn't focus on their work. You can't believe it happens to someone like that."

AC Schnitzer Takes On BMW's 2013 6 Series Gran Coupe
It was only a matter of time until tuners got their hands on BMW's voluptuous new 6 Series Gran Coupe. German BMW tuner AC Schnitzer left well enough alone, and performed only minor performance and cosmetic enhancements to transform the 640i and 640d Gran Coupes into the ACS6 Gran Coupe.
AC Schnitzer stared by applying a modest power bump, boosting the 3.0-liter turbo-sixes up to 360 hp in both cars, an increase of 40 hp in the 640i and 47 hp in the 640d. Aural performance has also been upgraded with a set of chrome sports trim tailpipes, while a new spring kit for the suspension should help liven the driving experience. AC also swapped out the stock front brake calipers up front for eight-piston high-performance assemblies.
Aesthetic changes were also kept to a minimum - a refreshing change, given some of the garish designs to emerge from German tuning houses as of late. The ACS6 Gran Coupe gains the addition of a front spoiler with chrome trim, chromed kidney grilles, and a revised rear diffuser. Six wheel styles are available for the 6er, varying between 19 and 21 inches, all of which are decked out in some combination of black and silver in a five-spoke layout. The optional lightweight forged wheels come wrapped in 255/30 R 21 tires up front and 295/25 R 21 rear. Inside, the only updates AC Schnitzer made to the already-gorgeous interior is a new "EVO" three-spoke steering wheel, velour floormats, and black-accented aluminum trim for the pedals and iDrive controller.
Pricing has yet to be announced for the ACS6 Gran Coupe, but expect it to be a European-only affair.

Happy New Year, y'all!
Holy crap, so 2013 happened.
There is a suitcase on the floor of my room right now that has a pair of Cole Haan pumps and a dress that needs to go to the cleaners. It's been there since I got back from New York. In October.
Side note: When I did the Huckabee show, I ended up wearing Uggs with my dress instead of the dress shoes. Because I'm me and cold and also the red eye flight the night before.
Anyway. The suitcase is still there.
Oh yeah, also I went to New York City and met Mike Huckabee, and did a quick segment on his show. Such an awesome experience! La la love the peeps at Fox News.
So life has been a little bit busy, slightly overwhelming, and generally surreal as I've been adjusting to being single for the first time since I was 18. Only now I have kids. Single at 18 is different than almost divorced at almost 31, that's for sure.
Laundry now consists of three baskets on top of the washer and dryer — one for me, and one for each of my daughters. Things get a quick fold as they come out of the dryer, and that's it. Thankfully we're all girls and don't have a problem changing downstairs as we're practically on our way out the door. Also thankfully we have blinds.
We got a cat. Oswin is awesome. Her name is short for Clara Oswald. 10 points for you if you get it.
Thing 1 turned 10. She's going to Virginia on a class field trip in April. What kind of school is this? Oh yeah, one that also teaches her Latin and Mandarin and most importantly cultivates her love of learning.
Thing 2 is in kindergarten. Interestingly, her teacher is the little sister of one of my high school acquaintances. Small, small world this is. She is loving every second of it. Thing 2, not necessarily the teacher, but her teacher is so awesome that I bet she's (mostly) loving it too.
What else? Oh yeah, I got a full time job. I've been freelancing at The Stir since its inception, but they needed a full time staff writer at the exact moment I needed a full time job. Perfecto! That's mostly why I haven't been blogging here. I write 33 posts a week for them. By the end of the day, I'm more interested in cuddling girlies or zonking in front of Hulu than updating y'all on my life.
Speaking of updating y'all on my life … I started this blog post on the first and now it's the fifth. Did I mention that I've been busy??
2013 was a crappy year. It happens. You know what though? Life throws you curveballs. God in His infinite wisdom refines us in ways we never saw coming, but ultimately, if you love HIM at the end of the day, and trust not in yourself or in His other creations, but just in HIM, He will not lead you astray.
Through every trial, He will prevail, but one thing I've learned over the last several years is that you have step out of the way of yourself, let go, and let God.
Here's to a lovely 2014.

As I alluded to in the video, I usually do this as a pie, which comes out about twice as thick, but I wanted to try it in tart-form and the pan I used was clearly too large. Next time I'll simply double the ingredients, and add about 10 or 15 minutes to the cooking time, and I recommend you do the same.

Savory Ricotta Tart – Thin to Win
As I alluded to in the video, I usually do this as a pie, which comes out about twice as thick, but I wanted to try it in tart-form and the pan I used was clearly too large. Next time I'll simply double the ingredients, and add about 10 or 15 minutes to the cooking time, and I recommend you do the same.

Hello Chef John, Just want to say that the thickness of this delicious-looking ricotta tart looks perfect to me. I would say, "Yes, I'll have slice, thanks!" It is, as you said, bikini season.

Isn't this just a glorified quiche? ;) Also, I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever pronounce "ricotta" as you do. Oh, I have a bumper crop of cayenne peppers coming in. I wished you'd show me how to properly dry them out.

One thing about cayenne, Metacree. It is easy to leave out. It does make food sing though. If you watch his videos close, his ingredient lists shows about 1/2 of what he puts in. When I have grandkids over for supper, I cut that in half again. When my Mother in Law comes over, I just leave it completely. The food is still good, I just sprinkle some on at my plate.

I made this for lunch today. I substituted crushed walnuts for the breadcrumbs and added in a package of defrosted, squeezed spinach. I need a low-starch diet and this was a wonderful pastry-free version of Spanakopita.

I hate to say it, but a few of your posts make you look.....GASP!.....a bit lazy. You have my absolute favorite food blog/recipe site. That said, I'm thinking that you should have made this recipe with the changes you suggested before posting. I really don't care if you delete my comment, but please be aware of my opinion. I'm a talented home cook in Boston.

Redmond O'Neal has been arrested again, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
O'Neal, the son of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal, was taken in custody on December 29 on a felony drug charge.
He was in court for a drug related probation violation allegation.
O'Neal was not granted bail and appeared in court on Tuesday, where he gave the judge a handwritten note, which was not read aloud.
He was ordered to return to an in-custody drug treatment center at the Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Pasadena for 30 days and is due back in court in 30 days for a progress report.
"The defense, the prosecution, and the treatment team all agreed with the court's order," O'Neal's attorney Richard Pintal told Access.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, O'Neal began rehab at the Impact Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in September. He was ordered to undergo treatment for one year at Impact.
O'Neal was previously incarcerated at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, Calif. for a January 2008 drug arrest and a probation violation in September 2009.

Mark Sanchez joins Broncos' O-line at Rockies game; Yasiel Puig crashes prom
Broncos quarterback Mark Sanchez has made a concerted effort to get to know his new teammates and spend as much time with them ahead of training camp and the new season.
Earlier this month he worked out with some of the Broncos' receivers in California ("Broncos Beach," as as it was dubbed), and on Sunday he joined some of his offensive linemen — Matt Paradis, Ty Sambrailo, Russell Okung, Cameron Jefferson, Robert Myers and Kyle Roberts — at the Rockies-Dodgers game at Coors Field.
Sanchez's efforts to connect with his teammates hasn't gone unnoticed.
"I think Mark has done a tremendous job of getting introduced to his teammates and fitting into the locker room," general manager John Elway said last week. "That will just continue. With the draft, we'll have the young guys coming in that will be fitting into the locker room and we'll fill out the (90-man roster). That's kind of the process that happens this time of year."
