Mr Kihachiro Onitsuka founded the forerunner of ASICS, Onitsuka Co. Ltd., in 1949 in Kobe, Japan. He started manufacturing basketball shoes in order to meet the needs of the nation's rising basketball stars. The first shoes were designed with a recessed sole to simulate action of an octopus' suction cup.
By 1950, the company was known as Onitsuka Tiger. The Tiger sports shoe saw its first major success the following year, with the winner of the Boston Marathon wearing the
Mr Onitsuka began marketing his shoes in the United States. Tiger shoes underwent various structural and aesthetic changes. It was during this period that the shoe markings were changed to the sleeker tiger stripe design still in use today. Consequently, Onitsuka athletic shoes became known as "Tigers".
Derek Clayton, sponsored by ASICS, broke the world marathon record of 2 hours ten minutes. In the latter half of the 1970's, the function of sports shoes improved quite a bit. At all major competitions such as the Olympics, many athletes wore ASICS shoes, including 5,000 metre and 10,000 meter runner Lasse Viren, who, despite falling in the twelfth lap of the 10,000 metre finals, went on to win gold in the 1972 Munich Olympics. ASICS Corporation was born in 1977 when Onitsuka Tiger merged with GTO Sports Nets & Sportswear. The acronym ASICS "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano" which means "A Sound Mind In A Sound Body" was chosen to promote the company philosophy that sports is the best way to create a healthy, happy lifestyle.
It was also during the 1970's that ASICS committed to designing footwear specifically for women. This historic improvement in the fit of women's shoes allowed ASICS to attract world-class female athletes.
The new sports heroes in the eighties made people pay more attention to international sporting events. And like the various athletes who continued to aspire to higher challengers, ASICS pressed on to meet the challengers for better shoe technology. In 1979 the ASICS research facility in Kobe branched out into a research laboratory exclusively for evaluating sport shoe features. In 1985 it officially became the Research and Development Centre of ASICS.
The introduction of the ASICS GEL Cushioning System revolutionised the footwear line. This cushioning system has the ability to absorb shock by dissipating vertical impact and dispersing it into a horizontal plane. Rearfoot and forefoot ASICS GEL Cushioning Systems are placed at points of maximum impact to provide optimum shock absorption without sacrificing the stability of the shoe. Today ASICS utilise a wide variety of GEL Cushioning Systems throughout the footwear line.
The late 20th century was an exciting time for Japan. Pro soccer became very popular in the 1990's. Sprinters were shaving hundredths of seconds off their times in competitions, and world records were being broken every year. ASICS introduced a number of high-tech innovations in the 1990's and established itself as a technological leader in the industry: DuoSole, AHAR Heel Plug, Trusstic System, Wet Grip Rubber, RhynoSkin, and DuoMax. In 1994 ASICS introduced the successful GEL-KAYANO which became the benchmark in its class.
The legacy of ASICS innovation continues into the new millennium. Through the state of the art Research and Development Centre in Kobe, Japan, ASICS scientists continue to push the boundaries of footwear performance, comfort and fit. ASICS' commitment to athletes in response to their need for flexible, lightweight, comfortable and stable shoes has launched a host of groundbreaking features including: Gender Specific Space Trusstic, SoLyte midsole, Impact Guidance System, Biomorphic Fit, and improved Discrete GEL systems. In 2007 the summation of ASICS' efforts culminated in the introduction of the GEL-KINSEI, widely regarded as the most advanced running shoe ever created.
2007 saw the passing of Mr Onitsuka, the man who started the great ASICS story will be sadly missed by all who knew and worked alongside him. His legacy will live on in the success that his beloved company enjoys. Those now charged with building on this success will continue to live by his maxim: to create shoes that meet the needs of the athlete to improve performance, enhance comfort and prevent injury.
ASICS is at the forefront of the world performance sports market as undisputedly the leading running shoe brand for enthusiasts and professional athletes alike. Whether at professional sporting events, the Olympics or an everyday run around a park, ASICS is the runner's choice, providing comfort, support and a superior ride. The recent 10-year anniversaries of its two leading, award-winning shoes, the GEL-NIMBUS and GEL-KAYANO, demonstrate the longevity and affection by which the brand is held in the eyes of sportspeople across the globe.
Beyond the running arena, ASICS has made further strides in development. The revolutionary ASICS Rugby and Football range incorporates injury prevention technologies, a first in these sports. ASICS is unmatched for technical superiority and rigorous quality. These standards have put the company in good stead since 1949 and will remain hallmarks of the brand as it innovates and develops well into the 21st century.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing talks about his restructuring plan for the city of Detroit in his office at Coleman A. Young Municipal center in Detroit, on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012. / KIMBERLY P. MITCHELL/Detroit Free Press
Chief Financial Officer Jack Martin, from left, Mayor Dave Bing and City Treasurer Cheryl Johnson discuss Wednesday ways that the cash-strapped City of Detroit hopes to raise $50 million in debts, from unpaid income taxes to parking tickets to solid-waste collection fees to hangar fees at the city's airport to business licenses. / Kimberly P. Mitchell/Detroit Free Press
Mayor Dave Bing says he wants to go after companies that owe possibly tens of millions in unpaid taxes to the City of Detroit, but he may want to look first at the city he runs as a prime offender -- and to verify the accuracy of records accusing hundreds of companies of being behind on their taxes.
The city government itself tops the list of well-known Detroit companies and government agencies that may owe more than $17.7 million in unpaid city income taxes that were not withheld from workers' paychecks and $6 million in unpaid city business income taxes from 2000-09, according to previously unreleased lists of potential tax scofflaws that were obtained by the Free Press.
The documents raise fresh questions about the extent of unpaid taxes in a city desperate for cash, as well as Detroit's ability to accurately assess who owes money and how much, as the Bing administration kicks off a major effort to go after those who owe taxes and fees.
But even the city officials who compiled the extensive lists, containing nearly 600 possible non-payers, aren't convinced the lists are right. They warned in other documents that the newspaper reviewed that the data likely contains inaccuracies.
• RELATED: Controversy follows some firms on list of those behind in their Detroit taxes
Detroit, the officials cautioned, lacks adequate staffing and resources to cross-check the lists against payments and other tax records to validate the debts -- so the data can't be considered a definitive depiction of how much is owed to the city by whom.
The Free Press contacted a dozen companies on the lists, and all vehemently denied owing back taxes. Several expressed concerns that the lists unfairly tarnish the reputations of businesses that pay their taxes on time, hire Detroiters and contribute to the city's well-being through charitable works.
In addition, the lists were given to the City Council earlier this year, so if any of the debts have since been paid, that information wouldn't be reflected. The Free Press filed a Freedom of Information Act request in October for records on companies and individuals owing back taxes, but the city denied the request, saying state law considers such information confidential.
That means it's uncertain whether major companies like DTE Energy owe the $2.5 million in unpaid business tax that the city's lists said is due. DTE vigorously disputes any outstanding taxes and said it received no such notice from the city.
"The city's records are wrong," DTE spokesman Alejandro Bodipo-Memba said Thursday. "We, in fact, have a certificate of clearance in regard to our tax liability in the city of Detroit. We have a serious and competent tax organization that works to ensure everything is paid, and anything short of that, I can only speculate that it's a clerical error."
The City of Detroit, as an employer, appears to be its own worst debtor, owing $3.6 million in unpaid employee income tax withholdings, the lists show.
What's more, among those with far smaller alleged debts is Bing Corporate Services, a company related to the auto-supply group that the mayor founded in the city and later sold. The lists say the company owes $9,463 in income tax withholdings from 2005.
Bing's office said in a statement Friday that its own review shows his former company does not owe back taxes.
Cheryl Johnson, the city's finance director, said the lists that the Free Press reviewed are not those that the city will use "to reconcile delinquent taxes of individuals or corporations."
"However, our procedure would be to research the data contained and create an accurate list of delinquent taxpayers, which we are in the process of developing," Johnson said. "The further you go back into our system, the more difficult it is to reconcile the accuracy of the information due to the fact that most of those records are paper-based."
Denials all around
Thomas Hardy said he was stunned to learn his law firm is said to owe the city $1.5 million in 2005 income taxes.
His firm, Hardy, Lewis & Page, has been in Birmingham for 38 years, he said. The firm had only about seven attorneys in 2005, making it impossible for him to have the kind of payroll requiring payment of $1.5 million in income taxes, he said.
"We never got a bill," Hardy said.
And if he had, he would have noticed it. "I think that would catch our attention," he said.
Among other companies listed in the records:
Wolverine Packing, a meatpacker and distributor near I-75 and I-375, is alleged to owe $545,000 in business taxes, second only to DTE. Wolverine's chief financial officer, Brian Bartes, called it "a complete fabrication."
"Our taxes are all paid up, whether we're talking about corporate taxes, or property taxes or withholding taxes," Bartes said. "The fact of the matter is, as of 2011, we were entitled to a refund that we applied to our 2012 taxes."
The Ilitches' CCM Merger, owner of the MotorCity Casino Hotel, ranked third for unpaid business taxes in Detroit, the lists show. CCM Merger refuted owing the $321,011 that the city's records suggest is due from 2005-07.
The Ilitch family owns the Detroit Red Wings, the Detroit Tigers, Little Caesars Pizza and the Fox Theatre.
"Our records reflect that all CCM Merger-related taxes have been filed and paid. We will work closely with the City of Detroit to determine why their records may indicate otherwise," a company statement said.
The Wayne State University Physician Group is said to owe $762,534 in 2006-07 delinquent income taxes. But Philip Van Hulle, a spokesman for the group of doctors, said "the information is incorrect."
Clinton Street Associates is listed as owing $214,193 in 2003 business income taxes. But Marvin Daitch, a Farmington Hills lawyer who was associated with the firm, said the company paid its 2003 taxes -- a total of $209,604.
State records show Clinton Street Associates was dissolved in 2006, three years after the company sold a parking lot it owned in downtown Detroit. Daitch said neither he nor the accountant who handled Clinton Street's taxes has received past-due notices from the city.
EFM looms
Public exposure of the lists -- which were distributed to council members in January -- comes days after Gov. Rick Snyder announced the formation of a six-member financial review team now examining Detroit's fiscal crisis.
Snyder may decide as early as January whether to appoint an emergency financial manager for the city with powers to slash expenses, reduce public services, cut elected officials' salaries and sell assets. Bing administration officials were working Friday with members of the review team amid increasing doubts that Detroit can avoid that fate.
Councilman Ken Cockrel Jr. confirmed Friday that he has seen the lists and acknowledged the data is likely flawed. But Cockrel said he believes that in some cases, companies do owe.
Cockrel said it's not fair to label any of the companies as tax scofflaws because they may not have been notified properly or the debts may have gone unnoticed in a city known for antiquated record-keeping.
"It's hard to fault any particular company," Cockrel said. But, "if there are entities or individuals who owe the city money, then why aren't we pursing that as a component of solving the city's financial crisis?"
If Detroit is owed significant back taxes, and the city goes after them, it could paint a brighter picture of the city's financial condition and its future.
Detroit came perilously close to running out of cash this month, and was spared only by the infusion of $10 million in bond proceeds that the state was holding in escrow until the City Council approved a number of reform contracts that Bing and the state had requested.
For years, stories have been legion about improper notices being sent to workers, warning of overdue income taxes that workers know were already paid, along with tales of income tax refunds delayed by months or a year or more.
Outdated records
Corporations -- from Fortune 500 companies to family-owned businesses -- also are familiar with Detroit's outdated, often befuddling record-keeping. It's something Bing acknowledged last week that has been building for 15-20 years as the city failed to invest in better computers and software programs considered basic in other cities and states.
"The City of Detroit has struggled over the years to maintain a basic tax system," said Terry Conley, a tax partner at the Southfield office of Grant Thornton, the global auditing, tax and advisory firm.
Conley said he's had many clients who have dealt with the city's incorrect tax assessments and faulty record-keeping. In some cases, when the city's tax records are accurate, notices have been sent to the wrong address or not at all, and the first that the companies hear about it is when Detroit files liens against their property.
The issue of unpaid debts resurfaced when the Free Press reported Dec. 13 that the Ilitch organization owes unpaid property taxes on Joe Louis Arena, where the Wings play. Bing's staff later confirmed that it believes the company owes $1.5 million, but Bing and an Ilitch spokeswoman said they expect the matter to be cleared up in ongoing negotiations on a new lease for the Joe.
On Tuesday, a Free Press report raised concerns about the accuracy of city records showing that the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the UAW-Ford National Programs Center, the Ilitches' Detroit Tigers Inc. and three other companies owed back property taxes -- debts many of the companies said had been paid or were clearly inaccurate.
Bing and top aides announced Wednesday an ambitious plan to go after $50 million in debts, from unpaid income taxes to parking tickets to solid-waste collection fees to hangar fees at the city's airport to business licenses. The campaign will include an amnesty program in January for those who owe income tax.
Bing noted the city has hired outside firms to help vet its tax records to "make sure that what we're doing is the right thing to do for the citizens and the businesses here in Detroit."
Johnson said the city is doing that before it starts legal or collections actions against scofflaws in a number of categories.
"If there are questions on any of those," Johnson said, "we are going back and looking at that before we do anything else."
Enforcement needed
Conley said Detroit needs a significant investment to upgrade its tax technology. He also advocated for instituting stronger monitoring of which companies work in the city and what they owe, backing it up with tough enforcement.
Conley said big and medium-size cities, from New York to Cincinnati, establish an atmosphere where business owners and workers know they face penalties for not complying with the law. A lack of strict enforcement in Detroit creates a perception that people and companies can get away with not paying taxes with little fear of reprisal, he said.
"You have to have an infrastructure in place, and you have to have someone who knows your policies and laws and can enforce them," Conley said.
By and large, Conley said, "the companies want to comply with their obligations," but it takes consistent communication with business leaders on what those obligations are -- and that is something Detroit does not do well.

More Details: Taxes in question
Detroits income tax rate on people who work in the city is 2.45% for residents and 1.225% for nonresidents. The rates will drop to 2.4% for residents and 1.2% for nonresidents in 2013.
Most employers, including the City of Detroit, are required to withhold the city income tax from workers paychecks, though people below a low-income threshold and those who are self-employed may opt to file city income taxes quarterly. The city allows exemptions for employees who work only partially in the city.
Corporation taxes are paid by businesses based in the city or with operations in Detroit, even if they dont have physical offices in the city. They must pay 2% on business income, unless they are exempt under Internal Revenue Service rules.

Ordering of the Zodiac
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is ruled by the planet Mars, as it is the Sun's alignment with Aries that marks the beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere. The beginning of Aries is not the first day of March as you might expect, but a seemingly unusual day around 21 March. Aries begins around this date for a very good technical reason.
When the Earth rotates on its axis at an angle of 23.45 degree from the plane of the ecloptic, there is the apparetn path of the Sun around the Earth.When the Earth is tilted away from the Sun, in the follow diagram, it presents the southern hemisphere directly to the Sun. This is the case for six months of the year.The rotation of the Earth causes theSun to appear to move east to west, not north to south, So there is no such thing as four seasons in one day . The above diagram shows that one 21 December the Sun is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn (the Sun is in Capricorn) Six hours later, the Sun is still directly above the Tropic of Capricorn.This is as far south as the Sun will ever appear in the sky.
For the next six months, as Earth orbits the Sun, the path of the Sun will move north.Six months later, on 21 June, Earth is on the opposite side of the Sun, and this is as far north as the Sun will go .
Sun's position in the sky changes throughout the year.
Aries begins when the Sun is directly above the equator.Therefore, on 21 September and 21 March night and day are equal,
which is why each of these dates is known as an equinox.On these dates, the Sun is directly above the equator.
The following diagram represents 21 March, which is the vernal or spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, and the natural starting point of the zodiac. The Earth orbits the Sun each year witht the North Pole constantly tilted towards the North Star. Also known as Polaris, this is the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, and is slightly less than one degree from North Pole .
The ancient Babylonians linked the New Year with the spring planting and it was therefore tied closely with the vernal equinox.

LAS CRUCES >> Nearly 150 post offices in rural communities across New Mexico have or will have their hours trimmed over the next year as the U.S. Post Office seeks to cut its budget.
The 149 offices are part of the more than 9,400 sites across the country that will face shortened hours, with another 3,000 locations under consideration, according to a USPS spokeswoman. The changes are expected to save the federal agency $500 million annually.
USPS initially suggested closing 3,700 post offices around the country, but reconsidered after members of the public and elected officials expressed concern.
"We were pleased to learn that The United States Post Office (USPS) reconsidered its initial plan to close over 50 post offices in New Mexico in 2011 and announced the Post Plan as an alternative," U.S. Sens. Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich wrote in an Aug. 4 letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. "However, we have heard from many constituents who are anxious about reduced service hours in their communities. Reductions in hours or consolidation into another nearby office can be especially hard hitting in rural areas, where customers often have to drive for miles to reach their closest post office."
Organ resident Carolyn Powers-Burke knows firsthand the hardship shorter hours will place on customers. Before she retired, she would have to clock out of her job in Las Cruces and drive 10 miles to the Organ Post Office to pick up packages before driving 10 miles back to work and clocking in again.
The Organ Post Office's hours were cut from eight to six hours a day last year. It is now open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
"The hours don't bother me because I can come anytime," Powers-Burke said. "But working people can't."
Eight people stopped at the Organ office within 20 minutes Friday morning, buying stamps, depositing mail or checking their PO box. All but two were elderly.
Two-thirds of the New Mexico offices already have shorter hours, most trimmed from eight or six hours a day to six or four hours. Some sites faced even greater cuts. Polvadera Post Office along Interstate 25 in Socorro County saw its hours slashed from eight hours a day to two. Eleven other locations across the state will only be open two hours per day.
"It'll be more inconvenient, especially for business people or people who are employed full-time," Ken McLeod said while stopping to buy stamps and mail letters at the Organ location. "... For old people like myself, we'll just make do."
The changes will affect all but five of New Mexico's counties. Fifteen locations in Rio Arriba County alone will have shorter hours, the most of any county. Taos, San Miguel, Mora, Lincoln, Cibola and Grant counties are close behind with eight, nine or 10 offices affected.
Six post offices in Doña Ana County will see shorter hours: Chamberino, Garfield, Organ, Rincon, Salem and San Miguel.
The changes will not only affect customers but employees as well, who will no longer be working full time and may face benefit cuts.
"We are also concerned that those postmasters who did not elect early retirement in 2012 and remained an active part of their rural communities will be seriously impacted by any reduction in hours or benefits," Udall and Heinrich wrote. "New Mexico postmasters are integral to these small towns and are often leaders in their communities."

The Other 80% News
Check out Chad Criswell's article in the February NAfME Teaching Music magazine entitled "Software in the Spotlight." Our website and its profiles and resources as well as The-Other-80% movement are featured in Chad's article! NAfME (MENC) membership needed to access the online publication.

TI:ME Music Technology Leadership Academy (MTLA) 2014 was held at the TI:ME/TMEA Conference in February. Yes, NAMM renewed our Program Grant to host now the 3rd Academy in 2014. Check out the new MTLA page on this website featuring the three years running of this Academy project and its interns.
Music Creativity Through Technology is dedicated to music educators working with the "Other 80%" of students in our schools who do not participate in the traditional performing ensembles and music classes. With the latest tools in music technology, these educators are finding ways to unleash the creative potential of many of these students.
The release of GarageBand in 2004 was as significant for music education as the release of the first Macintosh computers in 1984 with Professional Composer notation software along with personal laser printers and Postscript printing of music notation. Both events helped to democratize a music process previously reserved for the professional: the former, music publishing, the most recent, music composition. GarageBand and similar music technology tools empowered anyone, young and old, to create music using their ear as their guide, by shaping their expression through easy manipulation of high quality loops, audio snippets, sounds samples, along with adding the creative potential through live recording with USB keyboards, mics, guitars, and other devices.
The impact that GarageBand had can be seen in the overnight emergence of virtual composers sharing their GarageBand creations on the web and reaching out for comment and guidance. As a music educator, I found this especially exciting as it renewed my interest in finding ways to reach those students in our schools that drop out of the traditional music programs as they progress up through the grades, the traditional programs where more and more emphasis is place on traditional performing ensembles and performance expertise of selected repertoire (see D.B. Williams, 2012). Through lectures, presentations and keynotes, and the work of my graduate students, I began to focus on what I termed the "non-traditional music student (NTMs)," the other 80 percent of students in our school programs that are disenfranchised from music education in one way or another. Time and time again, I have been approached by music teachers wanting to share their success stories reaching out to these students in innovative ways. Hence the genesis of our musiccreativity.org NTM website.
Dr. Rick Dammers of Rowan University has taken a keen interest as well in this population and has kindly agreed to collaborate in creating this website as a repository for gathering research, publications, and more importantly, profiles of teachers who are using music technology in creative ways to reach out to non-traditional music students (NTMs). On this home page you will find our respective position statements on our personal campaign for "the other 80%" as well as a working set of attributes that attempt to define the non-traditional student.
We welcome additions to either the Research or Articles and Presentations page and strongly encourage submission to our Profiles in Action.

Developments in music technology offer the opportunity to establish a new strand of music classes in middle and high schools to stand alongside existing bands, orchestras, and choirs. This new branch of music classes is needed to bolster efforts to reach the 'other 80%' of students who do not participate in performance-based classes. From my experiences in developing such a class, and from discussions with colleagues around the country, I believe these classes are in high demand, rewarding to teach, and can effectively extend the reach of music education in our country. Reaching the 'other 80%' is essential for preparing a citizenry which can fully participate in the musical and cultural life of our country.
By collecting resources and examples, this site is designed to support the development of technology-based music classes at the middle and high school level. Please share your experiences and expertise with us, and check back often for updates to the site.

Vince Carter passes a legend, washes a bad taste from his mouth
Vince Carter passed one of the NBA's greats on the all-time scoring list Sunday evening.
That it came after one of Carter's worst NBA performances was poetic.
The Dallas Mavericks owed Carter big time after he canned a couple of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of their 93-91 victory at Sacramento. The second of those triples put the Mavericks ahead 81-79, a lead they never surrendered.
Carter, after shooting 0-for-8 against the Los Angeles Lakers Friday, knocked down 4-of-9 3-pointers and had 17 points.
Carter's point total pushed him past Elgin Baylor for 26th on the NBA's all-time scoring list.
"He's a legend, Carter said of Baylor. "He could do it all. It's a great feeling."
Carter was actually more happy to just be on the floor again after the awful Friday in LA.
"I had a game off against the Lakers," Carter said. "That was a rough one. I was just happy to come back and play."
Asked if he's learned over the years to have amnesia after a game like that, he said: "I've learned it. But I'm not good at it."
Carter said the poor night against the Lakers ate at him on Saturday.
"We had an off day, so I had a whole day to sit there and think about it," he said. "I didn't really care about sports (Saturday). I almost went to the gym, but I would have driven myself crazy. I would have been there three or four hours. So I just got away from it for awhile. I thought, is it mechanics? But it was just a rough night. A lot of the shots felt good."
Carter came back firing.
"I want my minutes to count," he said. "When I step on the floor, I want everybody to be able to see the difference."
No worries there. At least not on Sunday.
"He's instant offense off the bench," said Nowitzki, who was instant frostbite from the floor, hitting just 5-of-17 shots on a rare off night. "I think every good team needs some punch off the bench. The starters can only do so much over an 82-game schedule and you need your bench to come through a lot of nights. And Vince has been very consistent. We run a lot of stuff through him and he comes through."

Allscripts on Thursday announced the release of Wand, an iPad application that offers its EHR users mobile access to the most commonly used functions of its Allscripts Professional and Enterprise technologies.
The goal, says Stanley Crane, chief innovation officer for Allscripts, is to offer easy, on-the-go access to the core EHR capabilities physicians need most. The marching orders for the app's design, he says, were "let's focus on the classic, typical ordinary things that physicians do every day."
In developing Wand's interface, Allscripts developers and user experience designers made use of Human Performance Modeling – a technique used by NASA to predicts and improves pilot performance, officials say.
Allscripts touts Wand's ability to let clinicians review a chart quickly before entering the exam room, input real-time information, such as vitals and medications, and access EHR information after-hours.
[See also: 11 stages of the iPad's history in healthcare.]
The launch comes on the heels of a recent poll by the Physicians Consulting Network found that more than a quarter (27 percent) of physicians own an iPad or similar device – a rate that's five times higher than the general population.
Developers of the Wand say its graphical interface helps clinicians to:
- view a timeline of key patient information such as lab results, medications, vitals, and more;
- review appointment lists and current patient status;
- retrieve patient data quickly, with drill-down access to details;
- e-prescribe with electronic transmission to pharmacies; and
- resolve tasks and respond to messages with a swipe of the screen
Lisa Young, MD, a physician with Pediatric Clinic LLC in Auburn, Ala., notes how the app offeres a view of "patients lab trends that are easy to pull up, and look elegant," adding that "the quick view of immunizations is perfect for pediatrics."
As for security, Crane says, "when you install Wand, if you are a pro EHR customer, we automatically create an SSL certificate and install it on your software. We can do this automatically behind the scenes."
In addition, he says, no patient data is stored on the iPad itself: "When you hit the home button, there is nothing there."

Moreover, Allscripts submitted its code and protocols to two security scans by third-party companies. "Wand is as secure, as safe, as any other product Allscripts has ever had," Crane says.

I am working on an assignment in which clicking on a Team button scores a point for that team, which is displayed below the buttons. There is also a text field at the bottom that tells if one team is winning over the other.
I am convinced this code is 100% correct to reach the desired results. However, it is acting as if the buttons are not registered with any event handlers. That is, nothing at all happens when you click on anything. I could swear I registered them correctly. Furthermore, there are lines of code after it is determined which button that is pushed that when not commented out, causes an error: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0"
I am not asking for hand outs or for somebody to do this for me. It's for extra credit anyway, so there really isn't any pressure, but I am very annoyed I'm having this problem.
Thanks in advance,
I just need some direction as to how to fix this. FWIW this was compiled with jGrasp.
Here is the code:
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class TeamDemo extends JFrame { private JButton team1; private JButton team2; private JButton resetBtn; private JLabel lab1, lab2; private JTextField scoreText1; // Displays number of times team1 has been clicked private JTextField scoreText2; // Displays number of times team2 has been clicked private JTextField winner; private int score1, score2; /** public TeamDemo() serves as the constructor for the GUI */ public TeamDemo() { super("TeamDemo"); setLayout(new FlowLayout()); score1 = 0; score2 = 0; JButton team1 = new JButton("Team 1"); add(team1); JButton team2 = new JButton("Team 2"); add(team2); JButton resetBtn = new JButton("Reset"); add(resetBtn); JLabel lab1 = new JLabel("Team 1: "); add(lab1); JTextField scoreText1 = new JTextField(4); scoreText1.setEditable(false); add(scoreText1); scoreText1.setText(Integer.toString(score1)); JLabel lab2 = new JLabel("Team 2: "); add(lab2); JTextField scoreText2 = new JTextField(4); scoreText2.setEditable(false); add(scoreText2); scoreText2.setText(Integer.toString(score2)); JTextField winner = new JTextField(20); winner.setEditable(false); add(winner); winner.setText("The game begins!"); ButtonsHandler handler = new ButtonsHandler(); team1.addActionListener(handler); team2.addActionListener(handler); resetBtn.addActionListener(handler); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setSize(250, 200); setVisible(true); } /** private class BtnHandler is the event handler class. Clicking on Team 1 or Team 2 adds one to the total. The reset button clears all fields. */ private class ButtonsHandler implements ActionListener { public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae ) { if (ae.getSource() == team1) { score1 = score1 + 1; scoreText1.setText("" + score1); } else if (ae.getSource() == team2) { score2 = score2 + 1; scoreText2.setText("" + score2); } else if (ae.getSource() == resetBtn) { score1 = 0; score2 = 0; scoreText1.setText(Integer.toString(score1)); scoreText2.setText(Integer.toString(score2)); } /*if (score1 == score2) winner.setText("The game is tied!"); else if (score1 < score2) winner.setText("Team 2 is winning!"); else if (score1 > score2) winner.setText("Team 1 is winning!");*/ } } public static void main( String args[] ) { TeamDemo td = new TeamDemo(); } }
I will be very grateful for the help, I can't stand not being able to finish simple assignments like I thought this one was.

duplicate declarations problem
instance variable
now in the TeamDemo() constructor
team1 = new
("Team 1");
by including the type (
), you make a local variable out of team1.
team1 is created, added to the gui, and is the button you see on the screen,
but in ButtonHandler(), it is the instance variable that the souce() is
compared to, which would be null.
to fix, change
team1 = new
("Team 1");
team1 = new
("Team 1");
repeat for other buttons etc

OK, listen close. You've made an error that
makes, precisely once. It's silly, and it's embarrassing, but if you understand the problem well, you'll have really learned something, so listen up!
You've defined member variables team1, team2, and many others in your class. All the event handlers and things reference these variables. Note that when you declare them, they're all null, which is just fine -- you intend to initialize them later. No problems so far.
But in the constructor, you
initialize them. You instead declare new local variables with the
same names
and you initialize
The members remain null, and those local variables disappear as sooon as the constructor completes. The Buttons and things that those variables pointed to still exist, but no variables refer to them anymore.
is declaring a variable and assigning it a value:
team1 = new
("Team 1");
is assigning a value to a pre-existing variable, which is what you actually want to do:
team1 = new
("Team 1");
Putting the type (
) in there makes it into a declaration.
Do you understand? If you don't, speak up. If you do, congratulations -- you'll never make this silly mistake again!

Thank you both so much for the explanation! I thought I had gone insane. This would explain why another of my GUI projects generated a similar problem as well. I had scoured over the text thinking I had not registered the controls properly, had no idea it was in my data declarations.
And Ernest, I did learn something, hopefully I won't make the mistake again.
Thanks again, Ernest and Michael.

And just for future reference, here's another mistake you were making:
"I am convinced this code is 100% correct to reach the desired results."
That's a bad attitude to have when your code isn't working. Obviously your code isn't 100% correct, because it isn't working, but you're convinced it is 100% correct? One of the two must be wrong. And I can tell you, from my personal experience, the one that is wrong is almost always me. You're going to find it's the same with you.
I agree. Here's the link:

Two men were arrested Friday night after two seperate incidents at LAX.
The first incident occured around 8pm when a man in Terminal 2 made a comment about an explosive device in his bags. As a precaution, the ticketing area was evacuated. The man was later arrested.
An hour later, a limo driver at Terminal 3 told cops that he had a passenger with a gun. Cops showed up and took the guy to jail.
Terminal 3 was where the LAX shooting occured on November 1.

Coral Princess Cruise Review by kenbarbvelx: Very Nice Cruise
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Coral Princess Alaska Cruises
Very Nice Cruise
We enjoyed this cruise. They did a great job of getting the ship up close and personal at the glaciers.
The land portion, Fairbanks, Denali and McKinley, was great especially the Tundra Wildlife tour at Denali. Had a great gold panning tour at McKinley, not your packaged, warm water, amusement park tour but a real trip guided by a real gold panner.
The Alaskan ports are just large jewelry stores but the scenery in between and around the ports is spectacular. Wildlife tours give a great view of animals not in a zoo.
On our cruise, the photographer were very pushy and obnoxious. Kept us waiting in the rain taking embarkation photos.
Food and food service on cruises had declined over the years.
One down point is the Vancouver Airport. With two ships arriving, the lines for luggage retrieval, airline check in, luggage check in, security and customs were long, long. We arrived 4 hours before flight and needed most of that.
But go on a More Princess Cruise, you will enjoy it. Less

ZnO nanosheet arrays constructed on weaved titanium wire for CdS-sensitized solar cells

Nanoscale Research Letters 2014, 9:112 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-9-112Published: 11 March 2014
Ordered ZnO nanosheet arrays were grown on weaved titanium wires by a low-temperature hydrothermal method. CdS nanoparticles were deposited onto the ZnO nanosheet arrays using the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method to make a photoanode. Nanoparticle-sensitized solar cells were assembled using these CdS/ZnO nanostructured photoanodes, and their photovoltaic performance was studied systematically. The best light-to-electricity conversion efficiency was obtained to be 2.17% under 100 mW/cm2 illumination, and a remarkable short-circuit photocurrent density of approximately 20.1 mA/cm2 was recorded, which could attribute to the relatively direct pathways for transportation of electrons provided by ZnO nanosheet arrays as well as the direct contact between ZnO and weaved titanium wires. These results indicate that CdS/ZnO nanostructures on weaved titanium wires would open a novel possibility for applications of low-cost solar cells.

UPDATED with video: Redding attorney promises to pay, fight fire fees pro bono
HAPPY VALLEY — Earlier this year, the Small Farms Drive home that Erin Reed shared with her husband burned in the 8,000-acre Clover Fire.
Earlier this week, she got a $150 bill for the fire prevention fee from the state for that home.
"I was a little angry," Reed said. "I don't even have a home to protect. It's kind of ridiculous."
She brought her bill with her to a Friday night meeting at the Clear Creek Community Services District board room to show Redding attorney Walt McNeill, who has offered to handle the Clover Fire victims' case for free and pay their fees.
"We will pay it on your behalf, and then we'll fight on your behalf against the state," he said. "Then, we'll get that money back."
About a dozen people attended the meeting about the fee, which is based on the number of habitable structures on a property that is protected primarily by the state.
McNeill, who sometimes represents the Record Searchlight, said he considers the fee an illegal tax because it was passed by a simple majority of the Legislature.
But he decided to help when the fee would not be waived for the Clover Fire's victims, an "outrageous" decision, he said.
"It's wrong to charge people in your situation a fire prevention fee," he said. "Your homes burned down because there wasn't fire prevention in one form or another."
He said he will file the appeal of the fee for each victim who signs up. However, he expects those appeals to be rejected.
Should that happen, he said the next step is a lawsuit, which would be filed in Sacramento.
He said the fire fee can be appealed even if a home wasn't destroyed, just damaged by fire or smoke. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, five homes were damaged and 68 homes were destroyed.
Cal Fire officials have said the law doesn't give them flexibility — the fees are based on properties for the previous fiscal year, which ended in June 2013.
McNeill said, however, that he has a "good feeling" about the case's chances. He said the state has made several mistakes already in determining how many homes are on a property.
"Sometimes they don't know what they're looking at and sometimes they don't know how to count," he said.
Those victims who didn't attend the meeting can obtain more information by emailing McNeill at email@example.com. However, because the window for appeal lasts only 30 days from when the bill was sent, they have to act quickly, McNeill said.
"That clock is already ticking," he said. "We need all of those 30 days."
He said the state has 60 days to respond to the appeals.

|Search and Analyze the Decline Reason of Manchu Shamanism
Manchu is a long history hard-working and brave nationality, she was to open up our vast territory, creating the motherland and splendid cultures have had outstanding contribution. The Manchu Shamanism has a long history, it is accompanied by the development and transformation of this nation, formed in long years, has been the most complete, most typical shaman culture, has always been an important subject of the Shamanism research area. Along With the establishment and consolidation of the Qing regime, the Manchu society had the fierce changes, Manchu Shamanism also experienced extraordinary evolution course. This article based on the history angle, integrated use of multi-disciplinary theory and method, explores the Manchu and the bloods and Shamanism's relations, analyzes the influence of Shamanism to the Manchu groups and even the entire Manchu society, simultaneously analyzed and summarized the decline reasons of Shamanism in Manchu society, through these studies, fully reveals the true face of Manchu shamanism, believed this exploration, both in the field of Shamanism or Manchu history will have some groundbreaking.This article altogether constitutes by four parts.The first part, mainly introduced the research survey of Shamanism both at home and abroad, the research significance and research methods of this paper and so on.The second part has researched the historical evolution of Manchu Shamanism, the Manchu Shamanism is divided into two stages: the Manchu ancestors and the Manchu nationality. discussed the Shamanism and it's evolution characteristic in each stage: Xiao Shen, Yi Lou, Wu ji, Mo he, Nv Zhen and after Nv Zhen unifies as the Manchu nationality, one by one. And has carried on the detailed explanation, from which, has manifested the development and the change of Shamanism in ethnic groups of the Manchu, has made the essential theory upholstery for the later research.The third part is the reasons for the decline of Manchu shamanism, which is the weak link in previous studies, is also the key point and the difficulty of this article. After the Manchu nationality entered the area inside the Great Wall, along with the unceasing quickening feudalization advancement of Manchu nationality society, the relationships of Shamanism with the feudal culture and the feudal centralization rule were can not reconcile ,increasingly obvious, thus determines the irreversibility to the decline fate. In this part, from several aspects of the fundamental changes of the living environment, the need of the development of Economic, the rapid spread of Buddhism and Lamaism, and the influence of the advanced culture of the Han Nationality, as well as the own reason of Shamanism and so on, systems analysis and summarizes the declining reason of Manchu Shamanism in the Manchu society, reveals the decline of the Manchu Shamanism is the inevitable result of the development of Manchu Social, also it is a in exorable law for the primitive religion will gradually die out with the Social development .The fourth part, with changing times, Manchu nationality was giving up the old Shamanism belief gradually, but Shamanism has not withered away, after evolution, it becomes the organic composition part of the traditional culture and still influencing their thoughts and behavior, it was to be a Shamanism Complex and difficult to be given up. Shamanism is the few remains of the original culture left in the modern civilized world, we should perform to protect and the development.

Seems like the old adage, "Americans have short memories," is right on. We are so caught up in following all the political barb-throwing that we have lost the handle on real issues.
Maybe this stuff is intentional. I myself believe it is; we have forgotten about our severe droughts, our farmers going under, our oil and gas prices going up like a hot air balloon. The headlines are more about protesting fried chicken joints than awakening us to the real perils our troops are still facing in the almost forgotten wars in the mideast.
Remember when we had a day-to-day count on the loss of our courageous military? Where did that go? Is anyone keeping tabs now?
The news media isn't even giving that serious issue equal air time. We know more about the battles in other places; think this is being done intentionally?
Occasionally the media sneaks in a quick blurb about some military casualties in Afganistan, passing them off as NATO forces, nationalities not known at present, only to re-edit the report a few days later, identifying the dead in most cases as Americans.
Looks like we are living up to our reputation, aren't we? How soon we forget our loved ones who are still dying in this needless mess. Let's bring them home now.

Government listens only to violence - claimComment on this story
Johannesburg - The government came under fire at an e-tolls hearing in Johannesburg on Thursday, with the public accusing it of paying attention only when there is violence.
"You are using scare tactics to get us to agree to e-tolls. Government never takes people seriously except when tyres are burnt and cars stoned," a resident told representatives of the department of transport and the SA National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL) at the public hearing in Sunninghill.
Last month, the government and Sanral announced new tariffs for the e-tolling of Gauteng's freeways.
The announcement, made on October 26, marked the beginning of a 30-day public consultation process, after which Transport Minister Ben Martins would have a fortnight to "apply his mind", followed by another fortnight to gazette the final tariffs.
This means e-tolls could come into effect four days before Christmas.
"You are going to see gantries on fire and highways stoned because you do not listen," another resident told the hearing.
Residents said they would do everything they could to oppose the e-tolls.
"We will protest, revolt and even sleep on the freeways to show our anger."
National Treasury representative Marissa Moore said there was a R150 billion backlog on road maintenance, and that the government had borrowed money to invest in and implement e-tolls.
"The system is meant to lessen congestion on the freeways by charging a fee for usage.
"The aim is to get people into the public road system," she said. - Sapa

|Myofibrillar adaptations during cardiac hypertrophy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8035779 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The main purpose of this study was to determine the transmural adaptive changes that occur in cell size, myofibrils, and myosin isoforms from the endocardium (ENDO) to the epicardium (EPI) of the left ventricle (LV) of the rat heart during compensatory hypertrophy. Hypertrophy was induced by supra-renal aortic constriction for periods of 2, 7, 15 and 30 days. Percent left ventricular hypertrophy averaged 63 +/- 9.7% at 30 days following constriction. A significant (p < 0.05) transmural gradient in the V3 myosin isoform (9 +/- 0.7% ENDO vs. 5 +/- 1.8% EPI) was initially observed at 7 days and was still evident by 30 days (25 +/- 3.6% ENDO vs 15 +/- 2.0% EPI). Cell cross-sectional area was also greater (p < 0.05) in the ENDO than in the EPI at 7, 15 and 30 days. MF diameter was determined only at 30 days and was found to be similar to control values in both the hypertrophied ENDO (sham 1.24 +/- 0.05 vs hyp 1.18 +/- 0.09 microns) and EPI (sham 1.17 +/- 0.08 vs hyp 1.06 +/- 0.08 microns). The combined effects of cardiac myocyte hypertrophy with no change in MF diameter resulted in a calculated increase of approximately 70% in the number of myofibrils per myocyte both in the ENDO and EPI. It was concluded that the adaptive strategy of the left ventricular free wall to pressure overload was to initially increase myocyte cross-sectional area and then switch myosin expression from V1 to V3, both of which proceeds transmurally from the sub-endocardium towards the sub-epicardium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Hepatic encephalopathy is a deterioration of brain function that is a serious complication of liver disease. In this condition, the liver is not removing toxins from the blood. This results in a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream that can cause brain damage. This condition can be acute or chronic. In some cases, a person with hepatic encephalopathy may become unresponsive and slip into a coma.
Acute hepatic encephalopathy develops because of serious liver disease. According to the Canadian Liver Foundation, this condition mainly occurs in people with:
Acute hepatic encephalopathy also indicates terminal liver failure.
Chronic hepatic encephalopathy may be permanent or recurrent. Permanent cases are seen in people who are unresponsive to treatment and have permanent neurological abnormalities. This condition is rare. Recurrent cases are seen in people with severe cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
The exact cause of hepatic encephalopathy is not known. It is brought on by a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream and occurs when the liver fails to function properly.
The liver removes toxic chemicals from the body. These toxins are left over from proteins that are metabolized or broken down for use by various organs in the body. The kidneys change these toxins into safer substances that are then removed from the body through the urine. When the liver is damaged, it is unable to filter out all the toxins. When the kidneys cannot complete this process, toxins build up in the bloodstream. Toxic buildup can damage the organs and nerves.
Hepatic encephalopathy may be triggered by:
Symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy differ depending on the underlying cause of the liver damage.
Symptoms and signs of hepatic encephalopathy may include:
Symptoms of severe hepatic encephalopathy are:
If you develop symptoms of severe hepatic encephalopathy, seek medical attention immediately. These symptoms can lead to a coma if not treated promptly. If you see a person having a seizure or if they become unconscious or unresponsive, call 911.
Several tests are used to diagnose hepatic encephalopathy.
A complete blood count may be used to check your red blood cell count, white blood cells, and platelets. A low red blood cell count indicates blood loss and a lack of adequate oxygen. Blood tests may also be used to check the sodium, potassium, and ammonia levels in your blood. Having too much of these substances in the blood is consistent with impaired liver function.
An imaging test, such as a CT scan or MRI can check for bleeding in your head or abnormalities in your brain.
Liver function tests may be given to check for raised enzyme levels from your liver. An increase in enzymes indicates stress on the liver or liver damage.
If you have kidney disease or liver disease, tell your doctor. The symptoms you're experiencing along with your medical history can sometimes be enough to diagnose hepatic encephalopathy.
Treatment options for hepatic encephalopathy differ depending on the severity of the condition.
In severe cases, the person may have difficulty breathing and would need the help of a ventilator or oxygen delivered through a mask.
If eating too much protein brought on the condition, a reduced amount of dietary protein is strongly recommended. Since protein is necessary for the body to function properly, a dietician or doctor can craft a diet that will allow you to get an adequate amount of protein without causing or worsening symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. Foods to be avoided are those that have a high protein content such as poultry, meat, eggs, and fish.
Medications can help slow the rate at which toxins are absorbed into the blood. Lactulose, a synthetic sugar, may be prescribed. It can draw ammonia created by your intestinal bacteria from your blood into the colon, where it can be removed from your body.
People who have chronic hepatic encephalopathy have better recovery rates than those with the acute version of the condition. The rate of recovery increases if treatment is sought before the condition gets worse.
Complications may be irreversible. They include:
The best way to prevent hepatic encephalopathy is to prevent or manage liver disease. Steps that can be taken to prevent liver disease include:
You should also take steps to avoid contracting viral hepatitis, such as:
