Social business software gets common
by Jay Batson
A few of days ago I blogged about a conversation I had with an industry analyst. A key quote I heard from him that conversation was this: "The feature set for social business software is now pretty well known." And again today I heard from another well-known social business software consultant that he thinks "There's not much IP (intellectual property) in social business software; it's not hard software to create."
If I were an analyst today (I was one at Forrester in the mid 1990's), I'd say it's time to write a complete report about what this means for enterprises.
What it means is that organizations should be cautious about buying into expensive proprietary solutions, since those products - and companies - are now highly vulnerable to being commoditized.
Let's look at the functions in social business software, and see if there are any surprises:
- Blogs. Yup - the leading ones all let users (> 1) blog.
- Discussions. Threaded discussions or discussion forums, or both, are pretty well understood & known.
- Documents. There's slight differences here depending on whether the software is for internal teams, or external communities. The former need more in the way of formal document management. BUT, the leading solutions don't try to do DM directly; they integrate with entrenched systems like Documentum, Alfresco, etc.
- Wikis. The leading products can now supply Wiki capability (wiki linking, wiki syntax, etc.) as a feature. (There are some products that are only wikis, but they are quickly being passed-by.)
- Friends. Many products provide a Facebook-like tracking of what your associates are saying and doing.
- Groups. Nearly all provide something like Groups, or Spaces, or other ways of grouping people or content. (Even Facebook - the king of 1-1 interactions - has finally figured out that people need focused areas where users of like interest can congregate & talk.)
The list can go on to include things like events, RSS, projects, etc. But none of these are really surprises. And in fact, that was the point of the analysts: None of these features are new, or surprising.
And that's the point: What this means for you is that there's little that's new and rocket-science about social business software itself. Which means the market is ripe for ushering in the effects of commoditization, which include:
- Rapid convergence of feature sets among similar products. Within a release cycle or two, you can bet that those products that are not already architecturally stuck in a single mode (e.g. wiki-only products) will have all these features.
- Differentiation becomes based on factors beyond end-user capabilities. Capabilities besides end-user features will start to dominate; thinks like how "open" the product is for integration into existing business systems, brand adaptability, systems management, and other similar things that affect deployment success.
- Downward purchase price pressure. What once used to cost $250-500,000 now needs to cost no more than $50,000 - or similar declines at relative pricepoints.
- Emergence of follow-on revenue tricks. When proprietary vendors hooked on license revenue see the potency their drug of choice weaken, they have to get their hands on it twice as often (e.g. charging for new releases) in order to maintain their revenue levels.
A viable open source alternative accelerates feature-parity. Take the case of Drupal Commons. To create this alternative to proprietary systems, we at Acquia spent a fraction of the engineering time that the proprietary vendors have invested. Why? Because we have a ton of re-usable Drupal code available to use. Yes, we had to stitch it together to make a social business solution, but we didn't have to worry about either inventing it, or put it through deep, long testing for cross-site scripting attacks, etc. Drupal brings that to the table already. There's just no way a proprietary vendor can keep up with community-powered innovation in a massive open source community like Drupal has.
My two cents, anyway.
Footnote: I once wrote an analyst report while at Forrester that is amusing to recall just now. (I'd link to it here, but unfortunately, Forrester doesn't have my reports from the mid-1990's online. They were all done before Forrester started posting their research on the web.)
There were literally dozens of IP networking equipment vendors at that point in time (1995). It was a hyper-growth time for them, and many of the vendors had gone public. In researching the state of the industry, it became clear to me very quickly: (Just as with social software now..,) "The feature set is well known, and everybody has it."
So I felt my report had to predict consolidation - and fast consolidation, since there was so little differentiation. I not only wanted to state that generally, I felt I knew which vendors had a future - and which ones were toast - and I wanted to name names. This was a risky bet. Many of the companies I was going to say wouldn't survive were paying customers, and if I named somebody as a "toast", my report was likely to cause them to not renew. I give credit to George Colony, the CEO of Forrester, for giving the go-ahead name names, even if it cost us revenue. Our analytical integrity was the paramount cultural force.
It was a controversial report, both inside Forrester, and outside. Forrester had been a leading firm in predicting and analyzing the explosive growth of this segment. The market was hot, and I was massively contrarian.
Both things happened as we predicted: I guessed pretty darn well about who would survive and who wouldn't. And we did lose the business of those vendors I said would fail. (I won't accept that my report caused any of them to fail; the ones that did had problems well beyond an analyst's prognostications.) I'm proud I got to call it as I saw it, regardless of the commercial impact on us as an analyst firm.
All that to say, this feels like a similar moment: "The feature set is well known..." It's time for commoditization of the social business software market.

Breakfast Topic: Do you like PvP? {WoW}
Apr 3rd 2012 11:16AM Since I was one of the ones bringing up my hate, might as well elaborate!
Since posting that comment I caved and decided to try something a little more PVP orientated - I joined a raid forming for For the Horde and gave it a go. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful (one raid member asked where we were hitting first, then mysteriously logged; we arrive in SW to find an opposing raid waiting for us), but it gave me a little better understanding of what I don't like about PVP and what might be worthwhile.
The formation part, the grouping with a ton of other people to achieve a goal - *that* was fun. I'm a raider and it had the vibe, but with a different aim: for victory alone, not just gear. The frenetic atmosphere and the eventual maneuvering to get out of there, period (as in, dodging DKs pulling just rezzed people back down into the lake next to the castle and the like) was exciting, definitely. But the big difference between 'exciting' and 'miserable' came down to this: choice.
When I signed up for the achievement, I went in and got slaughtered...because I chose to. When I was leveling my baby DK in Blasted Lands and got chased down by a pair of 85s, I didn't choose that. When a max hunter dropped out of the sky and /laughed after they crushed my one-day main in Borean Tundra, I didn't choose that, either. And when a friend and I were enjoying dailies together, only to get corpse camped to the point where we couldn't anymore, I sure as hell didn't choose that.
I could see myself someday trying Battlegrounds or maybe joining in with the guild PVPers when they hit the Darkmoon Faire despite my poor skill, because I like the grouping aspect and the energy of doing fast-paced things with good friends. But world PVP has been for me like being back in elementary school, where you don't want to play dodgeball and you do what you can to stay out of the dodgeball game, but people are still hitting you in the head with the ball, anyway.
And like I said last comment, if I'd known back when I joined what I do now about world PVP, I never would've started on this server. I've got toons elsewhere (my raiding ones, for example), but these are my favorites, have the majority of my achievements and mounts (the Raven mount, got Rivendare's on my first try, etc.), and are the ones I most like to play. Believe me, if I had the money to move them, I would, but right now, the sour world PVP atmosphere sadly colors my feelings toward most PVP everywhere, hence why I have growing concerns about MoP as time goes on.
The Dragon Soul -- a post-mortem {WoW}
Mar 30th 2012 4:37PM If I never seen Zon'ozz again in my lifetime I will be a happy camper.
Oh the ball is going to the right again. Oh now it's going left. Oh now it went right between the boss's legs and killed the tank. And it's like it bounces off everything else in addition to player: elementals, ghouls, ghost wolves, hunter pets, someone's Armadillo Pup, Tauren rogues, and the miasma of our frustration.
Mists of Pandaria Beta: Watch the Horde intro to Pandaria {WoW}
Mar 29th 2012 1:24PM Guess Lore'themar wasn't as good at balancing the budget as he claimed.
The Queue: I need to read more {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 11:53AM I couldn't name the dynasties, but the Pandaren and the Mogu architecture and armor styling are drawn from different points in Chinese history, the Yaunka are obviously Mongol inspired, and some of the tribal-ish buildings and jungles I've seen make me think of something more south, like in the region of Myanmar or Manipura.
I'm mainly just guessing, but it looks to me like the x-pac is Asian-themed, certainly, but with a lot of flavor and differences between races and factions.
Breakfast Topic: What are you just not that excited about in Mists? {WoW}
Mar 28th 2012 11:33AM I am primarily incredibly excited for the whole expansion; love the art style, the lore, dungeons, minigames, all of that, and I'm willing to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt when it comes to class changes.
But man. Man, I am extremely worried about the emphasis on world PVP. The only reason my cluster of mains is on a PVP server is because the friend that originally invited me to WoW played on that server. I hate PVP, I'm terrible at it, and a year into playing I can generally deal with getting my butt handed to me when I'm trying to mind my own business (hello there, Molten Front dailies), but when there's a new continent that we're supposed to explore at our leisure without flying in order to appreciate it, how am I going to do that?
Nothing like trying to soak in the stunning art design or read new and interesting quest text when you're stunlocked for the umpteenth time or some idiot has killed all the quest NPCs again. At this point it'd take about 150$ to move all my characters (the ones above 80, near to or maxed professions, to say nothing of the lowbie alts I like to level at a comfortable pace), so I'm beginning to wonder if I'll actually get to enjoy the expansion on the characters I most like to play.
Another Mists daily screenshot appears on WoW community site {WoW}
Mar 14th 2012 4:02PM I'm putting my money on the Mongolian-inspired NPCs. The steppe-like landscape sort of matches up, only with extra WoW flavor:
But I'm also hoping newish-looking model = new character models. Please oh please oh please.
Breakfast Topic: What will be your big story from the Mists of Pandaria press event? {WoW}
Mar 14th 2012 12:22PM New character models, more slots per server (need this badly, I am alt-crazy), and some more music clips! I adore Chinese-themed scores of all types and I was thrilled even by the short intro we got in the trailer. Give us some of the score, Blizzard!
Preferrably as part of another trailer.
Oh, and a date for the beta and the release, definitely.
WoW guild master apparently a really good qualification for running Best Buy {WoW}
Mar 12th 2012 11:07AM I'm head of the Young Adult department at our local library and while hiring for new part-timer positions, I definitely gave an extra ear to people that played WoW and other MMOs and were generally familiar with gaming and gamer culture. We have our own media center here with an Xbox and a Wii (and an HDTV and Bose surround sound, awwwyeah), and what our young patrons (grades 6-12!) are usually doing on the computer is playing free browser games. I've made it my goal to look into getting WoW and other F2P games installed on our computers, so the more my staff knows about them, the better!
But this does take me back to my first job at Circuit City (oh, those were the days) where pretty much all of the staff, up to and including the store manager but excluding me, played WoW. We had the game installed on our demo computers, so the very first raid I ever sat in on was oldschool Onyxia, watching a coworker run it with his guild while on his lunchbreak.
Breakfast Topic: How did you get started? {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2012 11:16AM It was just around this time last year that a friend that played WoW off and on suggested to me that I try the game because I might like it. I'd been having a strained relationship with my other hobbies at the time, so I set aside a week of "vacation" from social oblagations in February to have a shot at the free trial. Now, the year in review:
Two level 85s in LFR-ready gear. A scattering of level 80s. A network of alts on two servers with complimentary professions. About twenty or so characters overall. A not-bad collection of heroic Icecrown achievements under my belt (and a tragic love affair with Wrath-era raiding and story. Oh, the things I missed!). And Tyrael's Charger, which I got the day it was available because I wanted in on the Mists beta so badly.
There's other games (ToR and Skyrim are serious contenders for my time) and times when I play WoW less (work, family, dogs), but I can tell I'm going to be here for the long haul, however long it will be. Not alone, though! I'm slowly but surely dragging all my coworkers along with me. Might have enough for a workplace 10-man before long!
12 Days of Winter Veil Giveaway: Purple Puffer loot codes from WootLoots.com {WoW}

Everyone remembers the party game where you blindfold someone and hand them a paper donkey tail and watch them try to pin it to the correct spot on a donkey. Everyone gets a good laugh and wants their turn placing the tail.
It's just as much fun when you put the donkey asside (ahem) and use a rubber duckie instead!
Pin The Beak on the Duckie is played with the same rules and methods as people have used for years with the donkey version.
For those playing offline, you must first download and print our two page game papers. There are both color and monochrome (black ink only) versions available. The only difference is the color– for those saving the color ink, it is handy to have the monochrome version! You can either just click the links below and when the Adobe Acrobat plugin to your web browser opens up, tell it to print the two pages (make sure to tell your printer to print in LANDSCAPE mode). You can save the game pages to your hard drive by "right clicking" on them and selecting "save target as" from the menu. The files are rather large, so they will take a little time to download.
Once printed, have a volunteer from your duck party carefully cut out the beaks from the beak page. The better they are cut, the nicer it looks for the lucky soul who gets it to the right spot on the duck.
If you happen to have some removable cellophane tape, it is much safer to apply that to the back of the beaks than the alternatives. If no removable tape is available, regular tape will do, or use the old fashioned thumb tacks (only if you put the beakless duck page on a suitable corkboard).
Hang the beakless duck page on the wall in a safe and convenient spot– and the game can then begin.
Please note!… Superstition has it that once the player is blindfolded, he should be spun around COUNTERCLOCKWISE exactly three and one half turns. I was told that by doing this, the duckie smiles on the player and he has a greater chance of laughing. We don't want to get the duckie mad– now do we.

Yesterday we went to a tree farm & brought home this beautiful Fraser Fir for our family tree in the living room ...we both wished it was 'growing' out our front LR windows, but it's not, so here it is: The last 2 seasons we've been changing to LED lights ... so the white ones aren't true white ...but a yellow-gold antique-y color ...but the 'blues' are blue ...we got them on today: Our beautiful star has died after being re-soddered & used for many yrs so I found this one @Walgreens that changes colors...it's pretty: Started adding all the 'family memories' (ornaments from thru the years) but that will come tomorrow when it's light again. Did get the outdoor decor finished today as it was very warm high 60's (record tie-breaker for Dec weather in IA) ... here's a rusty reindeer (actually a candle holder) that I use by my basement door: & I cut more greenery from the Pines in our woods & a few trimmings from the Frasier tree & finished my 'old sled' vignette by the basement door ...it's a old tire planter, old parking meter, old sled & old hockey skates...& the message says what we all hope for in our world: I changed the photo to antique-y look as I plan on using it for cards. TFLookin'! Jeanne S. |

What a gorgeous tree! And then the picture of it lit up is really fantastic. I am really looking forward to seeing it with all the ornaments. You are so lucky to have real trees and fresh greenery at hand. Real trees here in Phoenix are cut in OCT, usually in Oregon. So with our continued HOT weather thru the Fall, they dry out fast when they hit the tree lots. I gave up on them years ago when most would be half dead by Christmas day. Fire hazard, needles everywhere, frustrating. I so envy you having the fresh smell and loveliness of real ones. Your outdoor decor is always as appealing as your indoor's. |
Jeanne, love, love your blue lights on that beautiful tree. I agree w/Karen, will be looking forward to seeing it with all the ornaments. Your rusty reindeer with the wheel is fantastic. How'd you come up with that one? Always love your 'old sled' vignette. Your weather sounds fantastic for decorating Punk |

You picked out a beautiful tree Jeanne.. looks great with and w/o decorations. Mr & Mrs Claus looking good and right at home under the tree once again..also your furry girlfriend! lol Love your outdoor rusted reindeer..that's a neat piece and a girl after my own heart with the old sled & skates.. Always brings back fond memories when kids enjoyed outdoor sports more than sitting and playing with a little electronic gizmo! Nice decorating job on everything. jane |

What a beautiful tree! I'm sure it smells wonderful! Your decorations are spectacular and I love the old sled. I have my childhood sled next to my Frosty tree. I used it on top of my dining room table for several years as a centerpiece, but now it has a home next to Frosty. Your doggy seems very content. TFS, |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Wed, Dec 5, 12 at 3:05
It has such a wonderful warmth and beauty to it all, Jeanne. I could sit by your tree for hours just daydreaming. Love your dog snoozing there, looks like a Christmas card! hugs, Karen |
Thanks for sharing your tree with us, Jeanne. The blue lights are so peaceful looking. The rusty wheel and reindeer are really neat. I think the picture of the sled and skates will be perfect for cards. I love the black and white. Mr & Mrs Claus look amused at your friend napping. Nana |

Well, if that tree doesn't say "Snuggle Up," I don't know what does. What a cozy scene it makes! I like when you said, "Got the ornaments on from yrs & yrs of memories ...so I'm sitting here tonight admiring." I do that quite often. I know I've said it before, but I am jealous of the sled and wagon wheel. They're so cool! |
I love seeing your pup under your decorated and lit tree. The scene looks so cozy, festive and inviting. |

Thanks, Holiday-ers ... 'Tis the season, right! Appreciate your kind comments ...to answer a few questions: punk ... that rusty reindeer is an old candleholder (a HLobby big clearance some yrs back...the antlers have rusted off ...so they flop around some...DH fixed it a couple times now) LOL! & I love to flea market garden ...so that's where the wheel comes in...the squeeshy stuff behind the wheel is gourds/pumpkins ...they've grown back from that poor area by my garage door a couple yrs now & I just let them 'trail' up the rock stream. ;-) Thanks, OA, too! Our dog just 'wads' up that bed & moves it whever to her heart's desire & that's where she moved it last nite. The sled & skates do bring back 'good memories' for me, too, jane ...lots of times as kids we could skate on Thanksgvg weekend! Colder weather coming here again, too...so there may be some skating for kids over Christmas! Hope so! TFLookin', everyone! Jeanne S. |

Beautiful tree Jeanne! Love the blue lights...brings back childhood memories of them. Always a favorite! Love your outdoor decor too...the reindeer and the old wheel and your sled is so, so cool with the skates! Love the antiquing look of the picture too~ |

Jeanne, I just saw today (on the news) that in Ohio they are paying top dollar for well-shaped Fraser Furs. $40 for a four foot tree. After that it goes waaaaay up. A 14 foot is nearly $1000. Yours is prettier than the ones they were showing on the news segment. |
Jeanne, your blue tree is gorgeous all decorated with the ornaments. After reading OA's post, did you get a good buy or are trees that expensive? I read Nana thinks the sled picture would make Punk |
- Posted by jeannespines 4 (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 12 at 7:56
I feel like I got a good buy ...I would rather always have a live tree growing in my yard ...but Fraser Firs are not native here ... matter of fact, the tree farms had hundreds of them planted (probably 2 -yrs old or so seedlings) that were all 'brown' row & after row due to the 'severe drought' here in our IA & alot of IA. So we did buy an already 'cut tree' brought in from Michigan...usually we 'cut our own' on that tree farm. The last 2 yrs we've had 'firs' & I love the look & feel of them & easy to decorate. But, wow, OA ...I cannot imagine trees costing that much money! The vine tree was lit up last night here in my dining room & it didn't cost me anything...so far it's lasted quite a few yrs ...I love it! LOL! Thanks, Holiday-ers! Jeanne S. |

There it is! Was waiting to see your Vine tree all decked out for Christmas...love it. Love the warm glow of the two photos you took . jane |

Oh, I love that tree. It's good to see it again. Is that birdie an ornament? |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Thu, Dec 6, 12 at 19:50
Yes, OA ... I try to snatch up those resin bird 'snap-on' ornaments when I see them (not often) ...I change them out to 'red cardinal' ones for Feb. ;-) Half my rice lights quit working on this tree but they've been on there for some yrs now so I bought a new 140 light strand ...added 2 diff kinds of 'glass' garlands (one I've had since I got the tree). I, too, love this tree ...so far, it's making it! ;-) Jeanne S. Here's another view of birds, garland & fullview of tree last night: Oh...& the same fave 'snowy' farm painting & sheep from the past several yrs on the buffet shelf: |
You have such a pretty live tree Jeanne. It's especially pretty with the blue lights. I'm happily admiring from way over here as I'm one of "those" people that live trees in the house really do a number on. My parents always had live ones when we were kids and they just couldn't grasp that I was so sick because the tree was killing me. I can't even walk through the garden centers at the stores this time of year when they drag em all in without my eyes itching/watering. blah...lol Love the doggie under the tree. She looks so cozy and content. Your vine tree is always one of my favorite things to. The little birdie is to cute. |

Gosh, Jeanne. I'd forgotten about that great picture. I WANT TO COME LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE IN DECEMBER. It's like one, big Hallmark Card. |
Hi Jeanne, Tell me about that picture of the animals being fed in the snow. I love it and it speaks to me. Thanks! |

Funny, OA! mammie ...the artist is Robert Duncan ...the print is called 'An April Storm.' When I lost my Mom I spent some money on buying this print & getting it framed & I hang it here all Winter. I love it! I Googled & here's a link ... I also have bought this print in 'card form.' Thanks, ladies. Jeanne S. |

HP Media Center XPSP3
I read a thread here about a printer problem, hoping I would find the answer to my problem, but I didn't. My problem: HP Officejet 4315v All-in-One, about 4 years old. No problems until now. I scanned a picture, which worked fine, then I wanted to print it. Wouldn't print. I heard a noise which I thought might be a paper jam. I checked front and back. No jam. I copied a text document. Worked fine. Got the Align Page message and did that. Still won't print. I checked everything I could; went to HP Solutions and tried there. Still won't print. I try the buttons on the Control Panel; It tells the date, or asks for a number. I think it wants ato send a Fax. I've never used the fax. I don't know what else to do. Suggestions? TIA Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
If this printer has fax capability, then it installed itself as both a PRINTER and a FAX PRINTER. Make sure that the PRINTER is selected as the default. |
Yes, the printer is the default printer. Sue |

Have you checked in the print queue to be certain there is not something holding up the print/scan functions? Have you looked in Device Manager to make sure all drivers are up to date? Have you gone to the HP website to search for your model printer to make sure all drivers and updates are current? Could it be something as simple as turning off the printer and "rebooting" the printer? If all else fails, do you still have the install disc that came with the printer? You could always uninstall, then re-install the printer. Just some ideas to toss around. |
Nothing in the print queue. Checked out HP Solutions. Everything is updated. I've rebooted several times. I do have the disk, but hope to not have to do that. Those were all good ideas. I went back to the manual and looked through the index, and sure enough, there it was: "delete faxes from memory." Even though I haven't sent any faxes I followed the directions and, voilĂ ďż˝, it prints! But I still hear that noise that I thought was a paper jam. No jam, front or back. I went back to HP Solutions and kept hunting until I found a neat little video that shows how to open the Control Panel to look for a jam there. I tried and it seems like it will take a real hard tug; it doesn't just come open. Now what, should I pull hard on it and hope it opens? Sue |
The old saying "Force it if it breaks it needed replacing anyway" Really I hate to have you pull hard on something, might break it, then I'd feel awful..... Joe |
- Posted by nearandwest (My Page) on Sat, Aug 18, 12 at 0:31
Is it possibly a push in - pull out panel? Or perhaps you have to turn the printer off before you can open it? |
If it were me now I would remove the software, disconnect the printer then re-install and connect when the software demands you do so. If nothing else that should elliminate the software as the cause. Check the paper feed rubber rollers perhaps one is damaged. I had a printer once that required me on odd occasions to open the lid to view the print head, then I needed to push the print head to the right sharply to engage it before it would work. Luckily I have long fingers. You might poke about for something along those lines. |
My Officejet 4500 will sometimes spit out a blank page before it prints anything. At other times (usually when I haven't printed anything for a week) it will load a page and then hang and not print a thing while it's power light blinks. Then I need to delete the pending print job, turn the printer off-turn it back on and then it prints like a charm. I think the drivers are hastily written and not thoroughly tested especially with older OS like XP & Vista. Oh well..what should I expect for $60? |
Well, I did get the Control Panel cover to open. I used the "heels" of my hands to slightly push while I got my fingers to where I could grip it and I pulled gently and it opened. But now it won't print again! I did the delete faxes thing but that didn't help this time. I guess I have to start all over. Or I may do the uninstall, reinstall but later. If I got fouled up there, then I won't even have my PC. With the help of Google and you folks here, I can keep it going very well. HP Solutions has help forums, but you have to register and have a password and I'm not going to spend this good weather doing all that. Thanks for all the helps, and Joe, if I end up breaking it, I can at least blame it on you! I'll be back, sometime. Sue |

The HP help forums are very helpfull, have used them several times for my HP products so worth signing up. I figure 5min of signing up beats 3hrs of me getting no where on a problem. I would uninstall and reinstall the latest version of the software. Shouldn't harm anything else, had to do it once myself and no problems. Mary |
If you haven't gotten your printer up and going, Sue, by all means disconnect and reinstall from scratch. It isn't a big job and will often solve a problem that seems unsolvable. |

Setting the record straight about participation in clinical trials.
The Catalyst
Most Recent Posts
"When compounded products are not made according to strict quality standards appropriate for their scale of production, the results can be deadly." Six public health organizations wrote this to FDA Commissioner Hamburg to voice strong support on FDA's robust enforcement of the federal law on compounding.
Researchers in biopharmaceutical companies strive to discover and develop new medicines and vaccines that will help people to live longer, healthier lives. They go to work every day knowing that patients with life-threatening diseases live with the hope that tomorrow will bring a new medicine that will extend and improve lives.
Following several years of modest growth, a new study published in Health Affairs reports a record low health care spending increase of 3.6 percent in 2013. The last time the annual growth rate was any smaller, Dwight Eisenhower was President and a gallon of milk cost 49 cents. The year was 1960.
Today is World AIDS Day, and we're examining the tremendous progress we've made turning what was once considered a virtual death sentence into a chronic condition. The fact that the death rate for HIV/AIDS patients has decreased nearly 85 percent since its peak in the mid-1990s is a testament to the dedicated researchers who worked tirelessly to develop new medicines like those that make up highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) that transformed how we treated the disease.
Today, United States Trade Representative Michael Froman is in India to participate in the U.S. – India Trade Policy Forum. Since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election in May, Indian and U.S. leaders have held several meetings to further the relationship between our countries
With Black Friday just a few days away, holiday shopping madness is kicking into full gear. Deciding what to buy, comparing prices and ultimately making a decision can be stressful. The best advice for Black Friday also applies to shopping for health insurance:
Shop early Compare options Choose the best for you and your familyEvery November is Diabetes Awareness Month – a time to reflect on the progress we have made in treating the nearly 26 million Americans with the chronic disease. We take stock of new treatments, awareness, better adherence to diabetes medications and ask ourselves, "what more can we do?" to better treat this serious public health concern.
Ryan Hohman of Friends of Cancer Research authored a guest post this week that echoed our own thoughts stating, "Open collaboration is often the best route to innovation and improved outcomes for patients."
Since 2000, biopharmaceutical companies have brought more than 450 new innovative medicines to the U.S. market, resulting in significant progress against some of the most costly and challenging diseases. Yet, prescription drug spending in the U.S. has remained constant and federal projections show growth is in-line with health care spending through the next decade.
Lung-MAP Demonstrates that Real Change in Cancer Research and Care Is Possible through Collaboration
November is National Lung Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect upon the disease's enormous human cost. This month, some 18,600 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer and approximately 13,000 Americans will be killed by it. It is, by a wide margin, the most common cause of cancer death in the United States.
Earlier this week, the Kaiser Family Foundation released new research about the deductibles in different health insurance exchange plans. The study found for bronze or silver plans patients often have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket due to high combined deductibles.
Patients are living longer, healthier lives thanks to biopharmaceutical innovation. But, as evidenced by a new study released yesterday by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, the road to bringing a new FDA-approved medicine to patients is long and the costs are formidable.
"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." Real change and progress, as Dr. Seuss suggests, starts with passionate individuals who want to make a difference. This is obvious from the dedicated researchers around the world working tirelessly to find new treatments that help patients with devastating diseases like gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
The discovery and development of new medicines for patients is a comprehensive, data-driven process that requires years of research. At the heart of this endeavor is the clinical trial, the rigorous and highly-regulated scientific study of potential new medicines.

Summer afternoon screenings of the best performing arts from around the world at our special matinee prices - click on the titles for show dates and times at your local Picturehouse Cinema.
Thursday 14 June - Tuesday 31 July
Oscar winner Danny Boyle (127 HOURS, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) returned to the theatre to direct this visionary production. Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternate the roles of Victor Frankenstein and the Creature in two electrifying broadcasts. Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein's bewildered Creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the friendless Creature, increasingly desperate and vengeful, determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal. Urgent concerns of scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic gothic tale.
Sunday 17 June – Thursday 19 July
When it premiered at Sadler's Wells in 1995, Matthew Bourne's triumphant re–interpretation of Swan Lake turned tradition upside down. Now you can watch this modern classic for the first time in stunning digital 3D. An iconic production, perhaps best–known for replacing the traditional female corps de ballet with a menacing male ensemble, it was filmed in 3D at Sadler's Wells, London in 2011. The stellar cast includes the magnificent Richard Winsor as the lead Swan/Stranger, Dominic North as The Prince and Nina Goldman as The Queen. Filming in 3D creates an illusion of space around the dancers, drawing you onto the stage and bringing a dramatic realism and intensity to the story.
Sydney Opera House: Don Giovanni
Monday 23 – Thursday 26 July
Göran Järvefelt's Don Giovanni is a stylish, timeless production. Although many singers have played the title role, no one has inhabited it as memorably as Teddy Tahu Rhodes. Mozart paints the light and shade of his character brilliantly as the ultimate womaniser finally faces something he cannot outwit. Conducted by Mark Wigglesworth and starring libretto Lorenzo Da Ponte, Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Daniel Sumegi, Conal Coad, Rachelle Durkin, Henry Choo, Jacqueline Dark, Andrew Jones and Taryn Flebig.
Sydney Opera House: La Traviata
Tuesday 31 July – Thursday 2 August

Foreign language teachers are in high demand. I'm a year away from graduating and already have a job once I finish. Also getting a nice bonus since there were several schools in high need of a foreign language major.

doctors and nurses are gonna have the ********* time after obama care comes out. Literally there's gonna be a gigantic drop in doctors and nurses because their pay drops to the same as a four year college degree, when they should get the pay they deserve for 8 years.

do what makes you happy man. putting money as the priority in your life won't make you happy in the end. my family is the most important thing to me. money is just something i have to get to keep them happy. if you really want to be a surgeon, be a surgeon. if you would rather be a graphic designer, or a rocket scientist, or a school teacher, do whatever makes you happy!

i tried to make money my priority. it almost cost me my marriage. when i was a store manager at AutoZone, I was pulling in 42,000/yr before bonuses. that's not bad for a 23 year old with barely any college under his belt. but the stress of managing 10 employees, running a retail location, scheduling, interviews, terminations, everything. all this while being on paper and paid for 50 hours, but working 70+ every single week. it was sressful, and i took it out on my wife. not physically, but passive aggresively pushing her away. money does not a happy man make. luckily i got out of there with my sanity. took a hefty paycut, but there you go. kept a roof over our heads, and food on our table.

if you had a user name, i would waste more time. but let me just be blunt: a staggering number of people with degrees don't immediately get placed in their field of choice. they have to take 2 or 3 **** jobs to pay off the bill collectors who come at you as soon as 6 months after graduation.

Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell Nearly "Duked It Out" Over Matt Giraud
Last Night's American Idol offered a compelling moment in television, when the judges used their one-time power to salvage contestant Matt Giraud from voter rejection.
But it also robbed the world of an even more compelling moment: The sight of AI judges Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell pummelling each other over the decision.
On Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show this morning, Abdul admitted that the two almost came to blows when determining Giraud's fate.
"For a minute there, I thought we were going to have to duke it out," Abdul noted, adding that Cowell had "trepidation" over saving Giraud's hide after voters opted to boot him.
"Simon was pulling my dress to make me sit down" while Giraud belted out his version of Bryan Adams' "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman," Abdul notes. "I said, 'No way! What's your problem?'"
That's a brave move, asking Simon Cowell what his problem is. A team of NASA engineers could probably spend a decade figuring out the answer to that question.
Have your say in the comments section: Who do you think would win in a fistfight between Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell?

BOSTON — Those who've grown accustomed to the Boston Bruins' goaltender flopping and flailing his way to dramatic victories are going to have to adjust their eyes to appreciate the man who'll be protecting the crease for most of this lockout-shortened season.
As Tuukka Rask has shown ever since he ascended to the NHL, he is the anti-Tim Thomas in terms of body language and movement. He showed that again Saturday night in his first start of the post-Thomas era during a 3-1 win over the New York Rangers on opening night at TD Garden.
Rask finished with 20 saves and was caught out of position as rarely as Thomas has been caught in public since announcing his one-year hiatus from hockey last summer.
"It's always a special night," Rask said about keeping his wits about him on opening night. "But you just try to be that calm guy at the back of your team. And today that's the way it went."
It was the perfect way for Rask to start off his second attempt to be the Bruins' No. 1 goaltender. He out-dueled reigning Vezina Trophy winner Henrik Lundqvist and the Bruins played a near-flawless game.
The little bit of energy Rask expends in making saves could pay off for the Bruins in the long run. Backup goaltender Anton Khudobin is something of an unknown. And in a 48-game season, points are way too crucial. While head coach Claude Julien is still talking about using both his netminders to maintain freshness, if things get desperate he might have to lean on Rask for 35-40 games.
Rask says he's not targeting a number but if his workload gets up to that level he could handle it.
"That's a lot of games. ... You'd probably mix in a couple of bad ones there, but I'm sure you can do that," he said.

Double vs Single Bond Length
Name: Margaret Status: educator Grade: 9-12 Location: DC Country: N/A Date: March 2006
Why are double bonds shorter than single bonds? Is it because there are more electrons to be shared by the two atoms, so the nuclei are more attracted? I would expect the bonds to be longer because there are more electrons and the electrons would repel each other more.
The general rule of thumb is "longer bond -- weaker bond; shorter bond -- stronger bond". And that correlation applies to most all circumstances. You are correct that there is increased repulsion between the electrons forming multiple bonds, but the strength of multiple bond formation out-weighs the energy debt due to repulsion. So for example, going from single, to double, to triple bonds in carbon the average bond energy varies as: 348, 682, 962. If there were no energy "debt" due to repulsion one might expect the trend to be 348x1=348, 348x2=696, 248x3=1044 (all energies in kJ/mol). In reality it's a bit more complicated than that because the types of the chemical bonds change -- they are not just balls and springs -- but that does not minimalize your perceptive observation.
Vince Calder
The short answer is that the atoms have to be closer together for more electronic orbitals to overlap to form a second bond--yes, there is more sharing of electrons between the atoms.
Below is a much more complete and detailed answer.
Single bonds are formed by head-to-head overlap of orbitals. For example, H2: Each hydrogen only has one electron in a spherical s-orbital. These s-orbitals overlap to form a sigma (single) bond. In the next example, let us think about ethene (C2H4) Here, the carbons are double bonded to each other, and each carbon is single bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The carbon atoms are both sp2 hybridized--in other words, their s and 2 of their p-orbitals have mixed together to make three identical orbitals. The left over unhybridized orbital is a p-orbital.
The sp2 orbitals overlap with the Hydrogen's s orbitals to make single bonds. There is also head-to-head overlap of orbitals from each carbon to form the single bond.
Now we can answer the question: what makes the double bond. The extra p-orbitals from each carbon (the ones that didn't hybridize) overlap to form a pi bond (the second bond between the carbons).
A double bond is composed of both the sigma bond (from head-to-head overlap) and a pi bond (from overlapping p-orbitals).
Now for the real answer to your original question: the double bond is shorter than the single bond because the atoms have to be close enough together for those unhybridized p-orbitals to overlap.
Hope this helps.

If only I could change the future...
that's never what we say.
We are always wanting,
to undo the very,
mistakes that make us human.
We always want change,
but enough of us don't rise.
I am one who wishes he could,
only to be ensnared down.
Even if I could see,
every possibility.
Every angle and escape,
would I change a thing?
If I could know what's to come,
and even find that loving one,
with the power I had....
Yet on second thought,
I'd still see,
that whatever I did,
would be catasrophe.
That all my choices,
led to my demise,
and that all my work,
would be undone.
It's not a message,
to make me give up,
but one to make me try.
For as long as there is breath,
in these wore out lungs...
I'll be able to scream again................
"When your down on your knees, and you can't cry because your too hurt, you can't find anyone to talk to, and the only ones that can listen are the dead.... then there is only one thing to do. Scream your head off, until your voice is gone, then write out every single word that you needed to say and show them to the world."

Gold farmers try to take their game onto guild web sites {WoW}
Jan 23rd 2008 10:49AM The proliferation of gold has indeed affected (though maybe not devastated) the in-game economy of wow. What's interesting to me, though, is not that there has been inflation, but that prices have inflated differently for different goods, which in turn changes the game experience for different types of players.
While the price of primals and other crafting mats has definitely gone up, the cost of repairing, flying, purchasing mounts, has not gone up (gone down in terms of real wages). What's the effect on the gamer? For a casual like me, not a huge effect, and might even benefit me, even though I have never bought gold. My primals are selling great from the influx of gold, which means I have plenty of funds to cover the non-inflated cost of my kara wipes.
Who does it hurt? The hardcore gamers. They are the ones who buy the most consumables, enchants, gems and other such items which are highly susceptible to inflation. If they plan to buy such consumables, gold buying in the economy simply increases the hours of farming necessary for each hour of raiding. Unless, of course, it is the hardcores who are buying the gold.

Great 'til my wife lost em ice skating
So nice to pair with AK Clutch gloves on cold wet days...that is they were great until my wife borrowed them to go ice skating with my daughter. She took them off to take off her skates and forgot to pick them up.
The next day my hands were a little wet, and I realized how much they had been helping on soggy days.

I love food!!!
My love of food started early while cooking with my mother and has grown since I am all grown up and out in the world on my own. Now I love to discover new foods and flavors, and cooking techniques. But I have my favorite recipes as well, I'm still trying to master my favorite Italian dish of Spaghetti alla Carbonara and with the help of my favorite food blog/podcast (Under The Tuscan Gun; check them out they are funny) I think I'm getting there.
Pasta, pasta, pasta!! Mediterranean fish dishes. More pasta. And lets not forget the dessert and wine to go with the dinner!
