Medical Office Software Simplifies Business Procedures
The medical practice software you choose for your practice will allow flexibility for you and your staff. This means no more hassling with outdated software and hard-to-find data sheets on the patients. The web-based software comes with customizable views that enable your staff to quickly pull up relevant information on and for the patient. The easy-to-use tabs help organize and sort the data on a single screen without needing to have multiple windows that become cluttered and hard-to-read. With custom fields, your staff will be able to store whatever kind of information on the patients in the areas they want for quick retrieval. Your staff will benefit from pop-up reminders, memos, and ticklers along with automatic alerts for co-pays, recalls, and other medical billing procedures. ........

A P-3 Orion circles Mt. Fuji. Software developed by Georgia Tech provides information that maintainers use to keep the aircraft flying.
Engineers from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are assisting them, using current computer and database technology to help military aircraft maintainers get their work done more efficiently. A team from GTRI's Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory (EOSL) has been developing and improving maintenance software for the U.S. Navy since 2000. Called the Maintainer's Electronic Performance Support System (MEPSS-), this software was initially developed for the Navy's P-3C Orion patrol aircraft. A more recent version is now helping maintain the RQ-2 Pioneer Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, and portions of the GTRI software are being used in other aircraft maintenance programs. "The idea is to give maintainers all the information tools and decision-making capabilities that they need," said Gisele Bennett, director of EOSL and principal investigator for the project. "From a simplified standpoint, you can almost look at it as an information portal, where you're collecting and disseminating information to the maintainers". MEPSS is typically installed on a laptop computer. Technicians can check parts lists, consult manuals, and add information about their work as they go.........

The bottom line: Linux is still quite suitable for older hardware. It might not turn your aging PC into a powerhouse, but it will extend its lifespan considerably." [via] Link.

Search Marketing Stops Competitor’s Trademark Keyword Bids According to the ReveNews blog yesterday, Jeremy Palmer suggests that Yahoo! Search Marketing will no longer allow competitive trademarks or advertising after March 1, 2006. According to the report, Palmer received an email from Yahoo! explaining, “Previously, we allowed competitive advertising by allowing advertisers to bid on third-party trademarks if those advertisers offered detailed.....
Palmer explains, “As long as your competitive comparison was (somewhat) objective and informative, your ads would be approved. If your competitive comparison had false or misleading information, they would not be approved.” He continues, “Yahoo no longer trusts their editors to play umpire on these issues.... Even when Yahoo’s editorial policies are seemingly black and white, their editors manage to misinterpret them.” In an effort to give users a better search experience when they use search terms that are trademarks, Yahoo! will no longer allow competitor bids for keywords that contain trademarks. Yahoo could not be reached for comment to confirm or deny the report. Source Focusing On Emerging Networks
The annual Workshop on Synchronization in Telecommunication Systems, sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), will address issues likely to emerge as NGNs are developed. The three-day workshop will be held March 14-16, 2006, at the Omni Interlocken Resort in Broomfield, Colo. The meeting also will include tutorial presentations and networking opportunities for telecommunications synchronization professionals at a variety of different career levels. Network operators, strategists, design engineers, system architects and synchronization planners from the wireline, wireless, enterprise and utilities sectors will participate in interactive workshop sessions and panel discussions.

"Quantum cryptography is trying to make all transmissions secure, so this could be very useful for online banking, for example," says Professor Hoi-Kwong Lo, an expert in physics and electrical and computer engineering at U of T's Centre for Quantum Information and Quantum Control and the senior author of a new study about the technique. "The idea can be implemented now, because we actually did the experiment with a commercial device". The study describes the first experimental proof of a quantum decoy technique to encrypt data over fibre optic cable. In quantum cryptography, laser light particles (photons) carry complex encryption keys through fibre optic cables, dramatically increasing the security of transmitted data. Conventional encryption is based on the assumed complexity of mathematical problems that traditional computers can solve. But quantum cryptography is based on fundamental laws of physics - specifically, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, which tells us that merely observing a quantum object alters it......... Posted by: Ethan Permalink Source That Quantum Dots Talk
"Essentially, the dots talk to each other," said Ameenah Al-Ahmadi, an Ohio University doctoral student who published the findings with Professor of Physics Sergio Ulloa in a recent issue of the journal Applied Physics Letters. The dots are tiny, engineered spherical crystals about 5 nanometers in diameter. An average biological cell, in comparison, has a diameter of about 1,000 nanometers. Scientists think that quantum dots will be extremely useful in developing nanoscale technologies because they are versatile and uniform, which could eliminate possible variations and flaws in materials. In the recent study, the scientists were the first to use theoretical models to show how light energy shining on quantum dots would prompt them to transfer energy in a "coherent" fashion. They found that when the dots were arranged a certain distance from each other - greater than the radius of the dots - light waves traveled between the nanocrystals in a consistent pattern. In prior research, the light's wavelength would change or become irregular during the energy exchange, which creates a breakdown in communication between quantum dots.........

In turn, BlogBurst gives publishers access to the huge river of content produced by blogs every day. BlogBurst lets publishers find bloggers writing in the same field and combine their posts with their own in-house content. Publishers can weed out specific types of posts to be sure of a good match. The BlogBurst service is currently in beta and available by invitation only. Participating bloggers are currently not allowed to have ads in their feeds, but BlogBurst plans to make available some method of compensation for participating bloggers when testing is finished. Publishers currently involved in the program include Washingtonpost.com and the San Francisco Chronicle. Read more.... Google Desktop 3 Beta has a serious security risk
