  • Question by Rick: What are the most current web development tools?
    I have heard of Adobe, Flash, PHP, AJAX etc. What are the most common web development tools?

    Best answer:

    Answer by Gardner
    Those are good. ASP.NET (NOT classic ASP) and Silverlight are making great strides into the world of web development also. Silverlight is becoming very powerful. Need an example of Silverlight technology? Look no further than NetFlix. They use Silverlight to stream their videos.

    Web pages with the power of C# or VB.NET behind them. What’s not to love in that? :)

  • CMSWire to Hold Tweet Jam on Customer Experience #CXMChat










    San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 16, 2012

    CMSWire.com, a web magazine focused on customer experience management, social business and information management, is holding a Twitter-based gathering, known as a “Tweet Jam”, to discuss customer experience management (CXM) in 2012.

    CXM is a concept that means different things to different people. What is generally agreed upon is that online customer experience optimization is critical for modern business success. With that in mind, CMSWire’s Tweet Jam panelists will take a close look at what was learned from 2011 CXM efforts, what tools and strategies are proving most effective, and what areas are the top customer experience opportunities in 2012.

    Join the Tweet Jam this Thursday January 19th at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 18:00 GMT as the CMSWire editors and panelists welcome the broader CMSWire community to spend an hour discussing customer experience management.

    These questions will shape the dialog:

    1. How are participants defining CXM today? For example, should one differentiate WCM/WEM from CXM or do they fit nicely?                

    2. What tool/strategy is the spearhead of your CXM strategy?                

    3. Who should ultimately own/drive the customer experience?                

    4. What is the most important CXM lesson learned in 2011?                

    5. What is the CXM opportunity in 2012?                

    All experience levels are welcome to join in.

    The CMSWire team has assembled a group of expert panelists who will be sharing their field experiences. Panelists include Julie Hunt (Julie Hunt Consulting), Scott Liewehr (Gilbane/Outsell, Inc.), Hyoun Park (Aberdeen Group), Darren Guarnaccia (Sitecore), Tom Wentworth (Ektron), Doug Heise (CoreMedia), Loni Stark (Adobe), Peter Iuvara (MindShift), Rob McCarthy (GOSS), Ian Truscott (SDL), David Hillis (Ingeniux), Tjeerd D. Brenninkmeijer (Hippo).

    Participants may tweet their questions and responses throughout the Tweet Jam. By including the #CXMChat hashtag in all tweets, the messages will automatically become part of the discussion flow, and will be included in CMSWire’s follow-up coverage of the event.

    Tweet Jam Participation Guidance

    Twitter is a highly flexible medium. In order to keep the discussion useful to all, participants should follow these guidelines:


    Introduce yourself with your first #CXMChat tweet. Include your name, job title and organization you work for.
    Subsequent tweets must start with the question number you are responding to and the #CXMChat hashtag. For example, “@bigbird Q5 Sentiment analysis is having an impact all over Sesame St #CXMChat”
    Please don’t pitch your products or services; stay knowledge focused
    Keep the discussion professional, but informal
    Remember that this is a public chat — be thoughtful

    NOTE: This event has been rescheduled from its original January 18th date to January 19th, due to the SOPA vote in the U.S. Congress and related Internet-based political actions expected on January 18th.

    The CMSWire.com web magazine, published by Simpler Media Group, Inc., focuses on customer experience management, social business and information management practices and tools. The publication was founded in 2003 and currently has more than 250,000 monthly readers.

  • CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and American College of Physicians Offer New Tool to Advance Development of Patient-Centered Medical Homes












    Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

    CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) today announced that it has joined with the American College of Physicians (ACP) to make available the ACP’s Medical Home Builder® 2.0 (MHB 2.0) tool to participating CareFirst Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practices. The ACP developed MHB 2.0 as an online tool to help physician practices improve patient care, organization, and workflow. CareFirst is making the MHB 2.0 tool available at no cost to primary care practices participating in its PCMH program to help them improve their ability to provide coordinated, more efficient care.

    “We have well over 3,000 primary care providers participating in our PCMH program,” said CareFirst President and Chief Executive Officer Chet Burrell. “As part of this effort, we are providing participating practices with online tools and information never before available to help them provide care in a way that can improve quality and reduce costs over time. By working with ACP, we are making available yet another resource to PCMH physicians, nurse practitioners and office staff to improve the delivery of patient care.”

    The ACP is a national organization of internists — physicians who specialize in the prevention, detection and treatment of illnesses in adults. ACP is the largest medical-specialty organization and second-largest physician group in the United States. The organization’s MHB 2.0 is an online tool designed to help large and small PCMH practices improve patient care.

    “ACP is very pleased to be collaborating with CareFirst in support of the PCMH program,” said Michael S. Barr, Senior Vice President, Medical Practice, Professionalism and Quality Improvement for the ACP. “We look forward to interacting with practices through eight regional meetings and a series of webinars being organized to reinforce some of the practice change concepts advanced through the Medical Home Builder.”

    CareFirst and the ACP will host a regional meeting for PCMH practices seeking to learn more about ACP’s MHB 2.0 at the Columbia Sheraton Hotel on Wednesday, January 25, 2012, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Practices can register for the meeting by visiting http://www.carefirst.com/cpet or by calling CareFirst’s enrollment hotline at 877-269-2219. Information on upcoming regional meetings and seminars can be found by visiting http://www.carefirst.com/cpet.

    CareFirst PCMH users of MHB 2.0 will be part of an online community of PCMH practices, large and small, that are committed to improving patient care. Practices will have access to best practice videos and a discussion board where questions can be posed to a community of MHB 2.0 colleagues. Learning modules available through MHB 2.0 focus on developing medical homes and associated clinical topics. Each module includes:


    Background information — an explanation of key principles, research, and important concepts for members of the PCMH team.

    The Practice Biopsy® — a self-assessment that covers National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC), and draft Joint Commission standards. The Practice Biopsy® helps practices identify opportunities for improvement – or validate efforts a practice has already undertaken in this area.

    A Case Study — “How It Works in Practice” describes the efforts of one practice as it works through the findings generated through each module.

    The Resource Library — a virtual bookshelf, which includes relevant references and informative guides in a variety of formats including downloadable guides and policy templates.

    Reporting functions to help track progress over-time, identify opportunities for improvement and compare practices.

    CareFirst will make available the MHB 2.0 tool beginning in January 2012 to PCMH physicians in good PCMH program standing. To avoid incurring costs typically associated with MHB 2.0, providers should not begin using the tool until contacted by CareFirst. CareFirst will provide membership and login instructions for the tool to PCMH participants. Physicians or practice administrators interested in a free demonstration webinar can visit http://www.medicalhomebuilder.org or contact MHB(at)mail(dot)acponline(dot)org.

    In its 75th year of service, CareFirst, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, is a not-for-profit health care company which, through its affiliates and subsidiaries, offers a comprehensive portfolio of health insurance products and administrative services to nearly 3.4 million individuals and groups in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia. In 2011, CareFirst contributed more than $ 50 million to community programs designed to increase the accessibility, affordability, safety and quality of health care throughout its market areas.

  • New Fat Loss Ignition Food Swap Guide Released To Help You Kickstart Weight Loss In 2012













    Denville, NJ (PRWEB) January 01, 2012

    According to the product’s developer Arnel Ricafranca, their 28-day weight loss program was designed to teach people clever little tips and tricks about their favorite foods, so they can eat them and not feel guilty about it.

    “Now that the new year is here, I wrote the ‘Fat Loss Ignition Food Swap Guide’ to help everyone discover how to make healthy substitutes of the foods you love the most. This will help you preserve all the taste and flavor of the food you like, and ignite fat loss at the same time. You’ll get recipes that are based on our proprietary formula of what constitutes an FLI score for a meal,” said Ricafranca.

    “Here’s the formula = 1 FLI score equals 12.5 grams of healthy carbohydrates (specifically selected carbohydrates to eliminate insulin spikes). It also contains 10 grams of delicious, flavorful proteins and 2.5 grams of rich, heart healthy fat,” he added.

    However, he quickly noted that based on one’s gender, height, and weight, the user will know the maximum FLI score her or she can eat in a single meal and still lose weight. Besides, you’ll also know your daily FLI score.

    Ricafranca also assured that users won’t have to worry about the intricacies of the junk food tricks’ in the FLI Food Swap Guide, because he’ll be helping them figure it all out as he claimed to have more advanced calculators and recipes, including baking recipes for them to use in the members area. For more information, please visit http://www.fatlossignition.com.

    Also, Ricafranca added that as persons reach their goals with the Fat Loss Ignition program, they will continue to eat delicious foods that balance healthy carbohydrates with lean proteins and heart healthy fats. “For example, we have FLI 4 score and FLI 5 score versions of your favorite recipes like chocolate chip pancakes, quarter pound burgers, pepperoni pan fried pizza, cheesy chicken enchiladas, fish tacos, double chocolate milkshakes and much more,” he said.

    Ricafranca also claimed that eating fresh, hot, delicious and healthy FLI foods every day (most of them take 10 minutes to prepare) and following the exercise guidelines in the “Fat Loss Ignition Training Manual” will allow persons on the program to reset their body’s insulin levels and ignite fat loss, allowing you to lose 10 per cent of their unwanted body weight in in 28 days and continue losing weight till you reach your goals.

    “Once you claim your personal copy of the Fat Loss Ignition manual, you’ll notice that FLI baked recipes taste the same (or better) than traditional recipes and make you feel full faster,” he added.

    Awarded by the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports for helping America get fit and healthy, Arnel Ricafranca is a world renowned fitness professional and fat loss expert.
