While many Georgetown students are interning with various companies or spending time on vacations this summer, Hoya baseball players have continued to play in summer wood-bat leagues throughout the country.
June 20, 2013
WASHINGTON - While many Georgetown students are interning with various companies or spending time on vacations this summer, Hoya baseball players have continued to play in summer wood-bat leagues throughout the country.
Rising senior first baseman Steve Anderson (Albany, N.Y./Guilderland) is back for his second season with the Newport (R.I.) Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). Anderson, who helped the Gulls win the NECBL last year along the way to a No. 1 ranking as the best summer league team in the country, is playing first base and has started every game for the team.
Anderson is among a handful of Hoyas playing in the NECBL. Rising senior right fielder Christian Venditti (Newtonville, Mass./St. Sebastian's) and rising sophomore shortstop Curtiss Pomeroy (Shrewsbury, Mass./Saint John's) are both playing for the New Bedford (Mass.) Bay Sox. Venditti has hit two doubles and driven in two runs while playing in six games and Pomeroy has played in three games.
Matt Smith (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley), a rising sophomore starting pitcher, has been in the rotation for the Plymouth (Mass.) Pilgrims, who are 2-6 this season. Smith has one of the team's wins, and carries a 1-0 record with a 3.00 earned run average. He posted his first win this past Sunday, throwing 6.0 innings and allowing three earned runs with three walks and three strikeouts as the Pilgrims beat New Bedford.
Rising juniors Ryan Busch (Falcon Heights, Minn./Roseville Area) and Matt Hollenbeck (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) are teammates for the Fayetteville (N.C.) Swamp Dogs, who play in the Coastal Plains League. Hollenbeck has made one relief appearance for the SwampDogs, throwing a scoreless inning. Busch had three doubles in his first four games, but has been sidelined with an injury in the last two weeks.
Three Hoyas are playing for the teams locally in the Cal Ripken Collegiate League, with rising sophomore Tim Davis (Vienna, Va./James Madison) playing for the Vienna (Va.) RiverDogs and classmates Nick Collins (Carthage, N.C./Union Pines) and Jordan Chudacoff (Highland Park, Ill./New Trier) playing for the Alexandria (Va.) Aces.
Davis has made two appearances, including one start, for the RiverDogs, who are 4-4 this season. He has thrown 5.1 innings, yielding two unearned runs on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts. The Aces, also 4-4, have had Collins behind the plate in all eight games and he is batting .267 with three doubles and seven RBI, while Chudacoff has made two relief appearances for the team.
Relief pitcher Gino Basso (Glen Allen, Va./Godwin), a rising sophomore, is on the roster for the Sag Harbor (N.Y.) Whalers in the Hamptons League. Basso has made three appearances for the Whalers, who are 6-8 this season.

BrainDistrict GmbH today released version 1.5 of its photo editor and paint program, PaintSupreme. Already one of the fastest editors on the market, this new version is even faster, making users more productive.
Much of the increased speed comes from improvements in handling transformations such as rotation and scaling. Users will see faster performance when operating on an entire layer or on a selected area. Drawing tools operate faster in this new version also, giving users a smoother, more flowing experience. These changes combined with several incremental speed improvements let users spend more time creating and less time waiting, no matter what size image they are working on.
PaintSupreme features the seamless integration of filters and effects created in BrainDistrict's IFX-Supreme product. With V1.5, users can load new filters and effects created in IFX-Supreme directly into PaintSupreme and immediately drag-and-drop them onto their photos. "Our mission is to let our users focus on being creative while we handle the details," said Markus Mönig, BrainDistrict's Founder and Managing Director, "so making it simple to import user-created filters into PaintSupreme was critical for us."
The user experience in V1.5 has been enhanced with brighter text and a cleaner layout, making it easier to use and simplifying navigation. Other new features and major improvements include:
- Red Eye removal tool which removes the red-eye effect caused by flash photography with a click;
- Shortcuts for the Vector tool making vector image manipulation quicker and easier;
- Increased sensitivity for the Bucket tool so users have more flexibility and control in choosing the area to which they apply an effect;
- Faster switching between layers so changes appear instantly as you move from one layer to another;
- Dramatically increased font size range for the Text tool, up to 1000 pixels from 99 in V1.1, allowing users to create letters as large as the image window itself;
- Improvements to the operation of the Crop and Clone Stamp tools that make them easier to use.
PaintSupreme V1.5 is available from the Mac App Store and BrainDistrict.com at the special introductory price of $9.99 (regular price $19.99). Current registered users of PaintSupreme can download the new version for free at BrainDistrict.com.
BrainDistrict develops leading-edge software for creating 2D and 3D graphics. Its current products include PaintSupreme, a photo editing & paint program, IFX-Supreme, a photo filter & effect creation program, and HelpSupreme, a help file & user manual development program. BrainDistrict will release a set of 3D applications early in 2013. Specializing in pushing technological boundaries, the company previously developed award winning technology for video encoding that was licensed by major companies including Adobe and Sony and incorporated into market leading products.

New Family Staple,
This review is from: Deliciously Organic (Hardcover)
A-MAZING. Carrie's cookbook & blog have basically changed my life. Since I've started making the transition to real, unprocessed foods, I've lost weight without calorie counting AND been able to eat dairy, which is a small miracle for me! Plus, I was forced to go gluten free due to migraines & digestive issues & Carrie offers classic, gluten free & even grain free recipes and meal plans.
The cookbook has different information & recipes than the blog, and by learning how to modify recipes at Carrie's instruction, I can now turn just about any recipe into something I can eat, enjoy, & my body can actually process! I was a bit scared at the idea of REAL butter & REAL milk because it is so ingrained in us to eat a low calorie, low fat diet--yet to get those foods, we're eating highly processed foods that aren't "food" and our body doesn't recognize it as food! No wonder my body has been going haywire since I was 16! I saw the review about Carrie's stuff being high in calories and dairy...I was nervous too, but I took the plunge and I'll never go back! Energy is up, sleep is deeper, exercise is more productive, & playing with my toddler is more enjoyable because I'm not beating my head against the wall to say awake! Oh, and I still have some energy left over to be with my husband! : )

Sep 15, 2007 Ryan rated it really liked it
Shelves: art-culture
Mapplethorpe is sadly most known for his homoerotic images which shed light on the underground (BDSM) sex scene of New York in the late 70's and early 80's. Later his work became much more commercial as he turned to taking vibrant full-color still lifes of flowers. I don't think that this in anyway however diminishes the importance of his work.

Shelves: art-and-design
This is an amazing collection of Mapplethorpe's work. It shows the sheer breadth of his subjects and the nuance of his artistic vision.
Dec 25, 2015 Tristan Goding rated it it was amazing
Shelves: favorites
I was first introduced to Robert Mapplethorpe's photography when I was in high school, and the first image in question was the highly sexual homoerotic image on the front cover of this legendary tome. His imagery, however, immediately struck me as magnificent from the first time I ever laid my eyes on it. The forbidden imagery of it mixed with the simplicity of the presentation, the excessive camp often exhibited in the actions of the subjects, and the disarming intensity of elements, and the su ...more

My third book for #bannedbooksweek this year, although it is the artist's work and not this specific collection that has been banned and/or challenged.
A much wider scope of subject matter than I had heard about in the press. His photographs of flowers are really very, very good. All his photographs are. I had only heard about his more sexually-themed photographs on TV. It was a nice surprise.
Well worth reading. Very enjoyable.

Considering their overtly sexual nature, Mapplethorpe's photos are surprisingly stark and emotionless. They seem more like statues than living flesh.

Worth every dime for the photos, though the Danto essay misses so many points it's not even funny.

Landmark photography, 1st and best of the oversized coffee table books. Not for children
Robert Mapplethorpe was an American photographer, known for his large-scale, highly stylized black and white portraits, photos of flowers and naked men. The frank, homosexually erotic nature of some of the work of his middle period triggered a more general controversy about the public funding of artworks.More about Robert Mapplethorpe...

Jesse Ryder and Luke Ronchi have been cleared of serious injury and should be back for Wellington's final Plunket Shield game.
They were both injured in the drawn clash with Auckland, which finished on Sunday, and will miss this week's match against Northern Districts starting in Whangarei on Thursday.
But initial fears of a long-term absence from the game, particularly in Ronchi's case, were quelled by scans yesterday and Firebirds physiotherapist Vijay Vallabh said both players ought to be fit in time to meet Otago at the Basin Reserve from February 20.
Ryder has been diagnosed with a grade-one adductor (groin) strain, and Ronchi has a grade-one hamstring strain.
Ronchi cut a disconsolate figure at the Basin Reserve on Sunday when he suffered the injury running a single. It took him a couple of minutes to shuffle back on strike and he holed out two balls later, after deciding that if he could not run he would have to try and hit everything for six.
"Ronchs was pretty tight from travelling and playing in Whangarei [for the New Zealand XI]. It presented like quite a bad strain but the scans were pretty positive and a couple of days of being off his feet and working on it should be fine," Vallabh said.
"This is almost his body telling him 'let's have a break for a bit' but we'll be able to get him right and back on the horse pretty quickly."
Ronchi is the second-highest run scorer in the Plunket Shield this season, with an aggregate of 760, while Ryder's 723 have him fourth highest.
Tom Blundell, who kept wickets on the first day of the Auckland game while Ronchi was in Whangarei, would seem the most likely man to take the gloves against ND, although opening batsman Michael Papps might be another option.
Ryder's spot looks more wide open. Onslow's Barry Rhodes can't be far out of the mix, while fast bowler Scott Kuggeleijn could slot back in after being made 12th man against Auckland. Kuggeleijn is averaging 37 with the bat in the Plunket Shield and could probably come in as a batsman first and bowler second.
Wellington's draw with Auckland saw them slip past the Aces and into fifth spot on the ladder, thanks to accumulating more bonus points during the match. The Firebirds now have 65 points, 10 fewer than third-placed ND.
Central Districts continue to lead the competition (on 108) and meet Canterbury at Rangiora in this round. Canterbury are level on points with Wellington but have a superior net run-rate.
Cricket Wellington were given plenty of advice yesterday, but it wasn't enough to help them draw a conclusion about what the result was in Saturday's Hazlett Trophy match between Petone-Eastbourne and Naenae Old Boys.
Naenae had a player leave early and batted just 10 players in their second innings of the game at the Petone Recreation Ground and lost their ninth and final wicket off the last ball of the two-day match.
For now, the result remains undetermined, with some believing the match was a draw and others saying it was an outright victory to Petone.
Cricket Wellington senior cricket co-ordinator Clinton Butler said he had received different interpretations of what the completion of an innings means, under Law 12 (3).
Butler said there continues to be confusion because there were no balls left in the match. Had there been, he felt Petone would have been the undisputed winners.
Butler said he was still trying to get a definitive view on the situation from New Zealand Cricket and that he would declare a result once he had received it.

Eternal Frontier
By James Schmitz
Bean BooksISBN: 0-7434-3559-1
Chapter OneThe Big Terrarium
The third morning Fred Nieheim woke up in the Little Place, he no longer had to prove to himself that he wasn't dreaming. He knew where he was, all right, along with the rest of them-Wilma and Ruby and Howard Cooney and the Cobrisol. But knowing it didn't make him any happier.
He remained lying on his back, gazing moodily out through the, bedroom window, while he wondered how one went about getting back to Earth from here-specifically, to the Nieheim farm twenty-two miles south of Richardsville, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. It wasn't apparently just a matter of finding a way out through the very odd sort of barriers that fenced in the area. According to the Cobrisol, a local creature which appeared to be well-informed, they would then simply be in something known as "Outside," which was nowhere near Earth. At least, the Cobrisol had never heard of Earth, and still wasn't entirely convinced that it existed.
"Sometimes, Fred," it had hinted gently only last evening while they sat together on the front porch, watching a rather good production of an Earth-type sunset above the apple orchard, "sometimes, the memory and other mental functions are deranged by transfer from one Place to another. Don't let it worry you, though. Such effects almost always wear off in time...."
Fred felt Wilma stir quietly in bed beside him, and he raised himself cautiously on an elbow to look at her. The bed creaked.
Ruby went "Chuck-chuck!" sharply from the corner of the bedroom, where she slept in a basket. She was a middle-aged hen pheasant of belligerent nature, who regarded herself as the watchdog of the Nieheim farm. Basket and all, she'd been transferred along with them to the Little Place.
Fred remained quiet until Ruby stuck her head back under her wing. Wilma was still asleep, and only a rounded, smooth shoulder and a mop of yellow hair were visible at the moment above the blankets. They had been married less than two years, and if he and Wilma and Ruby had been set down here alone, he mightn't have minded it so much. The Cobrisol had assured him that one ordinarily received the best of care and attention in the Little Places; and the Cobrisol itself, though disconcerting in appearance until you got used to it, seemed to be as agreeable a neighbor as anyone could want.
Unfortunately, there was also Howard Cooney....
* * *
Out in the kitchen, precisely as Fred's reflections reached that point, a metallic clatter announced that Howard Cooney was manipulating Wilma's big iron skillet on the stove again.
Fred scowled thoughtfully. For a recent acquaintance, Howard certainly was making himself at home with them! He was a tramp who had happened to select the night of their transfer to sleep in the shed back of the Nieheim farmhouse; and so he'd been picked up and brought along, too. Unfortunately, whoever or whatever had constructed a reasonably accurate duplicate of a section of the Nieheim farm in the Little Place, hadn't bothered to include the shed. The first night, at Wilma's suggestion, Howard had moved into the living room. After that, he'd stayed there.
Fred felt he couldn't reasonably object to the arrangement under the circumstances, but he suspected that Howard was an untrustworthy character. He'd already begun to ogle Wilma when he thought nobody was noticing-and there was the disturbing fact that he was considerably bigger and huskier than Fred.....
He'd better, Fred decided uneasily, work out a method of getting them all back to Earth before Howard got the wrong kind of ideas.
* * *
"Morning," Howard Cooney said hospitably, as Fred came into the kitchen. "Sit down and have some hoot. Where's Wilma?"
Fred said Wilma was still sleeping.
"Me," said Howard, "I'm up with the sun! Or what goes for the sun around here. Know what? I'm going to build a still!" He explained that he'd discovered a maze of piping under the front porch which wasn't connected to anything and which he could use for the purpose.
Fred doubted Howard would have any success with his dubious project, but he didn't comment on it. The piping wouldn't be missed. The duplicated house functioned just as well as the house back on Earth had; but it was operated on different and-so far-incomprehensible principles. Hot and cold water ran out of the proper faucets and vanished down the drains, but neither faucets nor drains appeared to be connected to anything but the solid walls! Similarly, the replicas of the electric stove and refrigerator performed their normal duties-but Fred had discovered by accident that they worked just as well when they weren't plugged into the electric outlets. It was all a little uncanny, and he preferred not to think about it too much.
He tried a slice of the hoot Howard had been frying. Hoots came in various flavors, and this one wasn't at all bad-quite as good as ham, in fact. He said so.
"Could have been a famous chef back on Earth if I'd wanted to," Howard admitted carelessly. "This is last night's hoot, by the way. There weren't any fresh ones floating around this morning."
"Howard," said Fred, "I'm trying to think of a way to get us back to Earth-"
"You are?" Howard looked startled and then frowned. "Look, Buster," he said in a confidential tone, leaning across the table, "let's face it. We got it soft here. Once I get the liquor situation straightened out, we'll have everything we need."
Fred's mouth opened in surprise. "You don't mean you want to stay here all your life, do you?"
Howard eyed him speculatively. "You ought to wise up. You never been in stir, have you? Well, that's where you are now."
"It's more like a zoo," said Fred. "And-"
"Call it a zoo," the tramp interrupted. "Same principle." He shrugged his massive shoulders. "Trying to break out is a good way to get killed, see? And it's likely to make it rough on everyone else. You wouldn't want something worse than being shut up here to happen to Wilma, would you?" He grinned amiably at Fred, but the little gray eyes were shrewd and, at the moment, a trifle menacing.
There was just enough sense in what he'd said to make Fred uncertain. Howard seemed to have had some experiences which could be of value now. "What do you think we ought to do?" he inquired.
However, at that point, Howard became rather vague. In stir, he said, one had to take things easy until one had figured out the system. And then one made use of the system. The danger was in getting whoever was in charge of the Little place riled up by thoughtless action....
* * *
Going in search of the Cobrisol after breakfast, Fred admitted to himself that he couldn't quite make out what Howard Cooney was after. The tramp seemed to have something definite in mind, but apparently he wasn't willing to reveal it at this time.
At any rate, he'd made it clear that he didn't intend to be helpful about getting them back to Earth.
He found the Cobrisol coiled up at the head of a sloping section of ground which apparently was intended to represent the upper half of the south meadow of the Nieheim farm on Earth. As such, it was a few hundred yards out of place, and the grass that grew there wasn't exactly grass either; but Fred didn't pay much attention to such arbitrary rearrangements of his property any more.
"Nice day, isn't it?" he remarked, coming up.
"If you're speaking of the weather, yes!" said the Cobrisol. "Otherwise, I'll reserve my opinion."
Fred sat down beside it. "Something wrong?"
The Cobrisol nodded. "Possibly..." It was a quite odd-looking creature, with a snaky, ten-foot body, brick-red in color and with a rubbery feel to it, and a head that was a little like that of a pig and a little more like that of an alligator. No arms or legs, but it didn't seem to miss them. When it moved slowly, it extended and contracted itself like an earthworm; when it was in a hurry, it slithered about in sideways loops like a snake. "Take a look around," it invited significantly.
Fred gazed about. There was the usual, vague sort of sun-disk shining through the overhead haze, and the morning was pleasantly warm. At the end of the meadow was a huge, vertical something with indefinite borders called a "mirror-barrier," inside which he could see the Cobrisol and himself sitting in the grass, apparently a long distance away, and the duplicated farmhouse behind them. To the left was a rather accurate reproduction of the Nieheim apple orchard-though the trees were constructed more like firs-complete with a copy of the orchard section of the Nieheim trout stream. Unfortunately, no trout appeared to have been transferred.
Beyond the orchard was a thick, motionless mist which blended into the haze of the sky. The mist was another barrier; the Cobrisol called it a "barrier of confusion." The first day, Fred had made a determined attempt to walk out of the Little Place at that point; it had been a confusing experience, all right!
* * *
There wasn't much more to the Little Place. Behind the house, the ground sloped uphill into another wall of mist. He could hear Wilma and Howard Cooney talking in the back garden; and a number of small, circular objects that looked as if they might be made of some shiny metal floated about here and there in the air. The Cobrisol had explained that these were Eyes, through which the goings-on in the Little Place were being observed. Their motion seemed aimless, but Fred hadn't been able to get close enough to one to catch it.
"Everything looks about the same to me," he admitted at last.
"Everything?" repeated the Cobrisol.
Its long toothy jaws and rubbery, throat moved slightly as it spoke, though it wasn't actually pronouncing human words. Neither had Fred been talking in the Cobrisol's language, whatever that was. It was a little hard to understand. They hadn't been suddenly gifted with telepathy; it was just that when you were set down in a Little Place, you knew what the other intelligent creatures there wanted to say. And it sounded as if they were using your kind of speech.
Fred had given up trying to figure it out....
"Well, there aren't any hoots in sight this morning," he acknowledged. "Or robols either," he added, after a brief search of the meadow grass. "Howard Cooney mentioned the hoots were gone at breakfast."
"Very observant of the Cooney person," the Cobrisol stated drily. It and Howard had disliked each other on sight. "Fred, there are a few matters I feel I should discuss with you."
"Now's a good time for a chat," Fred said agreeably.
The Cobrisol darted its head about in a series of rapid, snaky motions, surveying the area.
"The Eyes," it remarked then, "have assumed an unusual observational pattern this morning. You will note that two are stationed directly above us. Another cluster has positioned itself above the roof of the house. Early in the morning, an exceptionally large number were gathered among the trees of the orchard. These have now largely transferred themselves to the opposite side of the Little Place, near the maze-barrier."
"I see," said Fred, wondering what it was driving at.
"The One who maintains this Place is showing a remarkable degree of interest in us today," the Cobrisol concluded.
Fred nodded.
* * *
"Very well," the creature resumed. "Life in a Little Place is usually very satisfactory. The Ones who maintain them can be regarded as hobbyists who take a benevolent interest in the life-forms they select to inhabit their creations. Whereas Big Places, of course, are designed for major scientific projects...." The creature shuddered slightly throughout its length. "I've never been in one of those, but-well, I've heard stories! Until this morning, Fred, I was inclined to regard us here as exceptionally fortunate life-forms."
"Well," Fred said, frowning "I don't quite agree with... what do you mean, 'until this morning'?"
"There are indications that this Place is being maintained, shall we say, carelessly? Nothing conclusive, as yet, you understand. But indications!" The Cobrisol jerked its head in the direction of the mirror-barrier. "That barrier, for instance, Fred, and one or two others have been permitted to go soft overnight!"
"Go soft?" Fred repeated.
"They're no longer operating as barriers. If we chose to, we could go right through them now-and be Outside! An almost unheard-of example of slip-shod maintenance-"
Fred brightened. "Well, say!" He got hurriedly to his feet. "Let's try it then!" He hesitated. "I'll go get Wilma and Ruby first though. I don't like to leave Wilma alone with that Cooney character."
The Cobrisol hadn't moved.
"I'm afraid you don't have the picture," it remarked. "You assume that once you're outside you'll be able to find your way back to the place you call Earth?"
"Not exactly," Fred said cautiously. He didn't like to be evasive with the Cobrisol, but he wasn't sure it would want them to leave-and it might be in a position to make their departure more difficult. "We could just step through and look around a little...."
"Even if we weren't under observation at the moment," the Cobrisol pointed out, "you wouldn't live very long if you did. No life-form-as we know life-forms-can exist Outside. The barriers are set up to keep us where it's safe. That's why it's so irresponsible, of the One-"
Fred abandoned the idea of taking Wilma with him. He'd have to make a careful check first. "About how long," he inquired, "could I stand it out there, safely?"
"Forget it, Fred!" the creature advised him earnestly. "Unless you knew exactly what to do to get back into the Little Place, you'd be worse than dead as soon as you stepped out there. And you don't."
"Do you?" Fred challenged it.
"Yes," said the Cobrisol, "I do. But I won't tell you. Sit down again, Fred."
Fred sat down thoughtfully. At least, he'd learned a few new facts, and the knowledge might come in handy.
"A few moments ago," the Cobrisol said, "you made an interesting statement. It appears that you don't wish to leave Wilma alone with the other human?"
Fred glanced at it in surprise. "No," he said shortly, "I don't."
The Cobrisol hesitated. "I don't wish to be tactless," it remarked. "I understand many species have extremely rigid taboos on the subject-but might this have something to do with the process of procreation?"
Fred flushed. He hadn't got quite that far in his thoughts about Wilma and Howard. "In a general sort of way," he admitted.
The Cobrisol regarded him judiciously. "Wilma is a charming life-form," it stated then, somewhat to Fred's surprise, "whereas the Cooney is as offensive as he is ignorant.

Revitas today unveiled the latest enhancements to the RevitasNOW™ cloud-based solution. The RevitasNOW offering expands support for emerging growth pharmaceutical companies with new functionality for contract lifecycle management, complex pricing scenarios, and compliance automation and reporting. The expanded capabilities build on the strength of the solution by adding mobile capabilities, additional compliance tools, and custom analytics.
RevitasNOW provides mid-market pharmaceutical companies, such as Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc., with a solution to manage contracts, pricing, and compliance while leveraging a flexible, pay-as-you-grow model that supports the rapid growth that often accompanies new product introduction. The RevitasNOW offering provides companies with an extensible, cost-effective Enterprise Revenue Dynamics (ERD) solution that lives in the cloud and is delivered via the Revitas™ Flex™ technology platform, which provides agility and scalability through a highly integrated environment.
"Many smaller and emerging pharmaceutical companies typically will have less sophisticated software than their larger counterparts in the industry," said Eric Newmark, Program Director of Life Science Business Systems at IDC Health Insights. "These companies often have more broadly constrained resources, so they typically rely on manual processes simply because their software options, even for advanced solutions, have been historically more limited. Thankfully, SaaS and cloud-based solutions are reversing this trend and helping companies that fall into this space."
The RevitasNOW solution includes new mobile features that build upon the core capabilities of ERD. Through integration with the Adobe® EchoSign® software, the Revitas Contract Manager component supports enhanced electronic signature capabilities, allowing for secured signatures to execute contracts electronically and expedite overall cycle time. In addition, RevitasNOW includes a Mobile Work Manager interface that allows users to review workflows for approval or rejection from smartphones or tablets.
New pricing and analytics tools have also been added. With the Revitas 340B Compliance Manager module, users can accurately calculate rebates under the 340B integrity provision of the Affordable Care Act and avoid costly non-compliance penalties. And two new analytics modules — Revitas Contract Manager Explorer and Revitas Medicaid Rebates Explorer — allow users to construct custom reports, enabling more informed business decisions by a broader group of workers.
"With the latest RevitasNOW release, we're continuing to expand our support for emerging growth pharma companies," said Al Smith, President and Chief Operating Officer at Revitas. "We brought our powerful ERD solution to the cloud so that all companies, regardless of their IT budget or current infrastructure, can address the crucial business functions of contracts, pricing, and compliance as they prepare for rapid growth."

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

About Me
Long-time semi-professional in and north of Boston.
About to retire, but could do a final photosession or two with an experienced or interested model in the spirit of the second list below.
So - if you'd like something new and/or attention-getting in your portfolio (especially if you can bring artistic substance along with a sense of easy sensuality and playfulness; body-builder?), send me a note. My photosessions - as you can see from the before-and-after images in the portfolio - are collaborative and relaxed.
Will have a window of opportunity in parts of June, July, and early August, before leaving MM forever. Should you be in the Northeast then, get in touch. Counting down the days...
And please leave a comment or a tag with a friend request. Thanks!
And also please - no more retouchers.
