“RadioShack’s partnership with Lance Armstrong has always been about more than cycling. It’s about engaging our customers and more than 35,000 associates in the global fight against cancer,” said Lee Applbaum, chief marketing officer for RadioShack Corp. “We understand that for 28 million people around the world, the race is not over.”

By dedicating the final stage of the Tour, the Team RadioShack riders have become global ambassadors for the 28 million survivors worldwide who are battling cancer and are determined to help them fight it. RadioShack® is proud to stand with LIVESTRONG® in support of those brave millions who are in the fight for their lives.

Together with LIVESTRONG, RadioShack has made a commitment to reduce the global cancer burden by raising awareness, eradicating stigma and encouraging people to join the cause. Team RadioShack wore this support as a bold reminder that cycling is not just about winning races, it’s a way to spread a message of support for those who are tirelessly battling this disease.

“Throughout the Tour de France, Team RadioShack’s bikes have carried the names of people touched by cancer in order to honor them and the people who love them,” Armstrong said. “Today, we’re riding for every one of the 28 million people all over the world whose lives and families are affected by this disease.”

“Cancer will become the world’s leading cause of death this year and we must do more to turn that tide and support people fighting for their lives,” said LIVESTRONG president and CEO Doug Ulman. “Team RadioShack has drawn worldwide attention to a disease too often dismissed as unbeatable and we are grateful for their unified demonstration of heroism.”

Since 1997, LIVESTRONG has provided support to guide people through the cancer experience, bringing them together to fight cancer — and work for a world in which the fight is no longer necessary.

Captain Morgan and his crew of Morganettes are coming to Cheyenne to distribute 1,000 pre-paid “Safe Ride Home” taxi fare vouchers. The vouchers have a maximum value of $7 towards a safe ride home, and will be distributed to legal drinking age consumers at Cheyenne-area hot spots throughout Frontier Days festivities.

“This program provides Wyoming bar and restaurant staff with a valuable designated driver option,” said Bryan “ALF” Grzegorczyk, President of the Laramie County Liquor Association. “We want these vouchers to stimulate conversations that promote responsible drinking.”

Beginning July 22, local transportation providers Capital City Cab, Cowboy Shuttle and T I Shuttle will accept the Captain Morgan Safe Rides Home voucher.  Vouchers expire August 31, 2010.

“We understand that the rodeo in Wyoming places a premium on safety, and we hope that this program will become a staple to the rodeo festivities for fans and the local community,” said TJ Keighley, Captain Morgan Marketing Manager. “The Captain Morgan Safe Rides Home program provides the ideal platform to remind adult consumers that when they enjoy our products they should do so responsibly and always arrange for a safe ride home.”

Eligible consumers must be 21 or over.  Vouchers have no cash value and are non-transferable. Each voucher is good toward $7 of the total fare.  There are no refunds for unused portions, and the voucher does not count towards driver gratuity.

As always, Captain Morgan asks consumers to drink responsibly.  Captain’s Orders!

Lebron Jamesenters the NBA at the young age of 18. He came into the NBA with the most hype one single player has ever had when making the jump from high school hoops to the pro game. He became the youngest rookie of the year winner ever. Another 4 years later, this kid, now 23, is considered the next greatest player the NBA has ever seen. He is LeBron James, the King.

Lebron James more championships than he has fingers on a single hand. He has won multiple MVP awards in both the regular season and playoff finals. We, at Melrose Jewelers, think Lebron Jamesis the greatest player the NBA has ever seen. He is the new Michael Jordan. Fast-forward 20 years from 1986.
If LeBron James has inherited the superstar mantle of Michael Jordan, what kind of Rolex watches should King James wear to symbolize his triumph? Without question, the King, representing the very best in quality and performance, should wear a Rolex watch. Should the King be flashy and wear a Rolex Masterpiece like Jay-Z or should the King’s watch reflect his dedication to excellence like the Rolex Day Date Super President? Even before a Rolex watch is chosen for the new king, there lingers the question of whether he deserves the heir apparent title.
King James needs a Rolex watch, but what kind of Rolex should the heir apparent choose to wear? In a recent shot of Michael Jordan at an NBA game, His Airness wore a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Rather than go for the super bling of a Jay-Z Rolex Masterpiece, King James, as heir apparent, should follow the path taken by His Airness and wear an item a bit more subdued. After the kid wins a few championships and MVP trophies, King James can switch to the super bling if he wishes to go in that direction. Right now, as heir apparent with a steep mountain left to climb, LeBron James should choose the Rolex Day Date Super President as a symbol of true performance and his dedication to the pursuit of basketball excellence. Finally, by choosing a Rolex Day Date Super President, King James would be paying tribute to the incredible legacy of the greatest player in the history of the NBA, Michael Jordan.
We hope that James can bring more surprise to us with his great talent. And we hope to see his great shoot once again.

In Aristotle’s “360″ fundraising product, it advertises a “Relationship Manager” feature which plainly uses FEC contributor information, displaying the federal contribution history for individuals with whom a given Aristotle customer has no relationship.  Aristotle’s web page with a demo of the feature states in as a second sentence, “Our powerful web-based system quickly uncovers relationships that can be targeted for votes, dollars, or grass-roots support.” (http://www.aristotle.com/content/view/232/161, emphasis added).  An Aristotle ad about the feature states “Only Aristotle can provide the data needed to point the way to the thousands of donors predisposed to contributing to your campaign, PAC or grassroots group.  Our powerful web-based system tells you everything you need to know about a prospect or contributor.” (Advertisement in Politics Magazine, 3/10/10, emphasis added)

Federal law prohibits selling or using individual contributor data copied from FEC reports: “no information copied from [FEC] reports or statements may be sold or used by any person for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for commercial purposes”. (2 U.S.C. section 438(a)(4))

“Aristotle’s marketing documents and their online demo clearly offer access, for a fee, to FEC contributor data for the purposes of solicitation, all of which is at the core of what the sale and use prohibition is meant to prevent,” said Joe Birkenstock, former Chief Counsel for the Democratic National Committee.  Birkenstock is campaign finance counsel to NGP Software, which filed the complaint against Aristotle.

The issue of use of FEC contributor data is particularly relevant this year: the Supreme Court upheld disclosure requirements in the Citizens United decision, and under the DISCLOSE Act passed by the U.S. House on June 24th in response, the types of entities required to report to the FEC would be expanded to include non-profits.

In an earlier FEC enforcement case regarding Aristotle’s use of FEC data in their earlier product (Campaign Manager 5/CM5), three FEC Commissioners voted that Aristotle had broken the law, stating, “We cannot ignore the clear statutory language prohibiting any FEC reports or statements from being sold or used by any person for the purpose of soliciting contributions or for any commercial purpose. Accordingly, we voted to find probable cause to believe that Aristotle violated 2 U.S.C. 438(a)(4).” (MUR 5625, FEC Commissioners Statement of Reasons 5/19/10, p.

Aristotle made excuses in that case, saying that the ads stating that clients could use the data for solicitation were a “mistake” that had been corrected; that it was an incidental feature and “nobody uses it”; that its actual purpose was for compliance; and that “you can’t download” contribution data. (FEC Hearing Transcript, 9/23/09)  Three Commissioners found these excuses to be inaccurate, noting that Aristotle’s advertising still promoted using the FEC data for solicitation, and that the feature’s use for compliance was “negligible at best.” (FEC Commissioners Statement of Reasons 5/19/10, p3 and p. 5) However, the three Republican-appointed Commissioners believed Aristotle’s excuses about their CM5 product, and the Commissioners deadlocked 3-3 on whether to proceed against Aristotle.  None of the excuses Aristotle made about their CM5 product are available to Aristotle regarding the 360 product.  As noted above, Aristotle is explicitly marketing the use of FEC data in 360 for solicitation.  Aristotle itself calls the 360 feature “important” and filed for a patent on it this year.  And Aristotle’s own demo of the 360 feature states, “You can export your connection map to many different standard formats for customized use.”  So Aristotle cannot use the same excuses again in this case.

Given the importance that Aristotle has given this matter by trying to patent their use of FEC contributor data, NGP believes that the FEC Commissioners will take a hard look at the complaint, and provide a definitive ruling regarding Aristotle’s use of FEC data.

Back pain usually goes away within a few days or weeks – either on its own or by using conservative therapies that might include a short rest period, gentle exercise and stretching, pain or anti-inflammatory medications and/or applying ice packs or heating pad.

Chronic back pain – lasting six weeks to three months or longer – is much less common. But for those 26 million Americans between the ages of 35 and 55 who have frequent or persistent back pain, it can be life changing. That’s why it is mandatory to take care of your back and keep it working properly, especially as you get older.

Reasons for Risk of back pain:

Back pain doesn’t just occur in the Rock and Roll business, it can arise in many work situations. The exact cause is often unclear, but back pain is more common in tasks that involve:
•   Repetitive or heavy lifting
•   Excessive bending and twisting
•   Exerting too much force
•   Poor working conditions
•   High job demands and lack of control
•   Not recognizing or reporting symptoms and not doing anything about it

Dr. Gaurav Gupta says:
In Spinal Awareness Programs you learn what movements you can use to help the improvement of your back pain.  Your spine is made up of many small and inter-connected bones called vertebrae. These are separated by connectors called discs, which act as shock absorbers and allow the spine to bend. Your spine is supported along its length by muscles and ligaments. Your spinal cord threads down through the centre of each vertebra, carrying nerves from your brain to the rest of your body.

The tensions in our muscles continue to compress, pushing the vertebrae together. The area where the spine and the pelvis come together is a joint, a movable area. This becomes rigid. Over a time, these conditions lead to deterioration in the body. Lower back pain, leg pain, foot pain and other horrors are often inevitable for many persons.

According to statistics from the National Institutes for Health, more than 31 million Americans experience this kind of back pain.

Tips for Preventing Back Pain
1) Stay mobile: There are many ways to increase mobility, including daily stretches or activities that increase flexibility and get the body moving in different directions. Try yoga, swimming, or Pilates to keep limber.
2) Don’t forget cardiovascular training: Physical activity—such as walking, swimming, and running—for at least 20 minutes, three times a week, increases muscular endurance and cardiovascular fitness, and improves blood flow to the spine. Exercise also helps decrease daily stress that can tighten muscles.
3) Straighten up: Correct posture doesn’t just look better, it feels better, too. Be sure to stand head up, shoulders straight, chest forward, and stomach tight. Try not to sit or drive for long periods of time. When seated, always remember to keep hips and knees at right angles to one another and find a chair with adequate lumbar (lower back) support.
4) Avoid Wrong way Carring: With more and more Americans traveling with computer bags and carry-on luggage, it’s essential to adhere to proper carrying and lifting techniques.
5) Sleep smarter. It’s best to sleep on your side and make sure that your mattress is supportive and comfortable to your back.
6)Maintain a healthy weight: Extra pounds — and more inches around your waistline — can put added strain on your back.
7)Learn to sit : Don’t sit hunched over your desk for hours on end without any breaks to stretch and move. Get a well designed chair and computer station, and try not to suddenly or awkwardly bend and twist your spine.
 Doctor Advice ointments: Pain-relieving creams (eg Tiger Balm, Icy Hot etc.)
9)Try yoga. Research shows yoga may be better than regular exercise in relieving pain and helping restore back function.
10) Do your best to avoid injury/accidents:

The emergency budget on June 22nd has made it even tougher for charities to find a real deal and make the most out of their finances. With VAT to rise to 20%, charities now have to rely on donations more frequently to get by and raise funds.

Displaysense, the UK’s leading supplier of display cabinets and leaflet holders have recently donated some display products to the St Helena Hospice shop in Colchester and believe other competitors in the display industry should be doing more to aid struggling charities. In a bid to raise awareness of the issues facing the countries charities, Displaysense is looking at donating a number of other products to good causes and contacting other suppliers to get involved.

Clare Debeaux from the St Helena Hospice branch in Colchester said she was “delighted and thrilled with the donation of the clothing rails which have transformed the shop window and allowed elderly customers to access items easier.” All donations help the St Helena hospice to meet all the needs of people suffering from life threatening conditions, whether they are physical, emotional or spiritual.

Steve Whittle, the marketing director at Displaysense, commented on the company’s history of donating to good causes. He said: “Even back since the company’s creation in 1978, we firmly believe that it is our duty to donate to good causes such as the St Helena Hospice. We also believe not enough companies in our industry do this frequently enough. With everyone keeping such a watchful eye on their bottom lines, they have forgotten about helping out their local communities and charitable causes.”

With tougher trading periods expected for charities for some time to come, Displaysense hopes that more suppliers get involved with donating simple goods such as coat hangers to any of the deserving charities in the UK. With one in three people affected by cancer and an aging population that is going to need more care and support, there are more important things to worry about than a company’s bottom line.

The combined companies have the use of over 30 patents, some dating to when VocalTec invented VOIP. In the current legal world we live in, this protection is crucial. The company believes that its patents, technology, and inventions are prior art to other existing patents and may also expose patent invalidity. The combination of patents and softphone/softswitch technology were the primary drivers of the merger. The combined company is much stronger now.

YMAX brings the success of the magicJack in the form of brand equity, distribution and advertising across many outlets and over 6,500,000 magicJacks sold since 2008. The largest reaching CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) in the United States in terms of area codes available and certification in number of states, it has its own chip development and application server/softswitch company. VocalTec also adds softswitch, application servers and the softphone to the mix. The combined company will have cost reductions through different synergies.

VocalTec’s advantages over its competitors, including Skype, include:

1. A softphone, sharing a user’s favorite numbers, available across many platforms:
   1. A computer
   2. A computer with a magicJack connected enabling the use of a regular telephone (corded or portable) with the ability to be the second line in a house or the primary number
   3. A computer with a femtocell-enabled magicJack allowing calls from a user’s cell phone to go through a home computer and achieving superior call quality in your house while saving valuable cellular plan minutes (to be available later this year)
   4. Via mobile applications on iPhone® and iPad™ mobile digital devices and mobile devices running the Android™ and Blackberry® mobile technology platforms (beta versions today, formal release in Q4 of 2010)
2. Free phone numbers given out to all our customers and easily dialed from any telephone
3. Free telephone services for magicJack to magicJack calls
4. Free telephone calls from our softphone users to anybody in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands
5. Underlying network carrying these calls is a dedicated telephone network with over 130 very powerful servers, session border controllers and application servers. This network has proven to have 99.99% uptime in the last year
6. Free voicemail, directory assistance, and local and long distance calling in the U.S. and Canada
7. User contacts stored on our network so where ever they might use the softphone, the contact list will be downloaded to the app
8. We believe we have the best VOIP call quality using in the U.S.
9. magicJack received the 2009 Most Innovative Product of the Year award from RadioShack®
10. The ease of use of the magicJack and softphones particularly when traveling

Ido Gur, who will remain in charge of VocalTec’s Israeli operations, states, “I am excited about the potential to become the worldwide, leading provider of VOIP and softphone applications using SIP. I strongly believe that the synergies enabled by this business combination will allow us to achieve this target. I trust the leadership and of Dan Borislow to make this a reality.”

Following the merger, a total of 11,736,189 shares are outstanding. The company has included a discussion of future operating results in the press release in connection with its announcement of the merger. The company does not intend to update these statements or provide additional future guidance. The company encourages potential investors to read the Form 6-K filed in connection with the merger and available at www.sec.gov.

Morehouse’s championship victory came over the 25 year old up-and-comer, Ben Igoe. Morehouse (31 years old, ranked 13th in the world and 1st in the U.S.) was trailing Igoe 13-7 before staging a dramatic comeback to win 15-14.

It is rare to see a first-time championship winner over 30 years old, and Morehouse was clearly proud of this accomplishment. He said after the match, “For anyone who’s followed my career you know I was very late to becoming a top fencer, so coming from behind was a very fitting way to win my first championship. I’ve always had that underdog mentality, and that definitely helped me pull it out today.”

New York was well represented among the winners, as the top 3 and 7 of the top 8 hail from the Empire State. Morehouse represents the Manhattan Fencing Center and Igoe fences for the New York Athletic Club.

Tim will look to build on this success at the Pan American Championships this August in Costa Rica and the World Fencing Championships in Paris this November.

In Beijing, the men’s saber team missed the Gold by a single match. Morehouse is on a personal mission to take the Gold in 2012. He will surely be one to watch at the London games.

The New York native Morehouse’s climb to the top has been anything but conventional. Only beginning his fencing career in middle school and graduating college as an almost complete unknown in international competitions, Tim does not have a traditional fencing background. He is not a natural athlete, he doesn’t fence by the book, and he had no financial backing as he traveled around the world attempting to qualify for the 2004 Olympic team.

Tim is committed to bringing the sport of fencing to the next level of national attention so that it has the recognition of sports like swimming and gymnastics, enabling him and his teammates to compete for corporate sponsorship dollars. He helped kickoff the Summer National Championships on Friday at a community outreach event at the Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club, displaying his skills with live fencing demonstrations.

Tim definitely appreciates the attention, not for himself, but for his sport. He said, “Fencing is one of the greatest sports in the world and more people are realizing its benefits both physically and mentally and that’s very exciting.” Acting as an unofficial ambassador of fencing, Morehouse is the founder and spokesperson for of Ten Thousand Fencers, an online community and social media network aimed at getting ten thousand new people to try the sport. His efforts to increase the national visibility of the sport have led to features in ESPN Magazine, a fashion spread in Esquire and the New York Post has named him one of New York City’s Top 10 Most Eligible Bachelors. He has been seen in a national television commercial for Team USA and an associated print ad in USA Today.  In addition to the growing following he has attracted to his own blog, he also posts regularly for NBC Universal Sports and the US Olympic Committee.

In addition to being a world-class athlete, Tim is a former public school teacher and supports himself giving speeches at schools and corporations throughout the country.  Since returning from Beijing, Tim has spoken to over 6,000 children and young people in urban schools who find inspiration in his amazing story.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) GOES-13 satellite captures visible and infrared images of the weather over the U.S. East coast. These images are overlaid on a true-color background map, and fed into small and medium-sized videos of the Gulf of Mexico and the nearby Atlantic Ocean for the last 3 days. The GOES-11 satellite provides similar coverage of the U.S. west coast and Eastern Pacific.

The GOES satellites scan further into the oceans twice per hour, offering the opportunity to watch storm development in the swath called “Hurricane Alley,” from Atlantic to Pacific. The bigger scans are used to make large-scale Hurricane Alley movies for the last three to five days, illustrating the life-cycle of subtropical storms, as some of them spin up to become hurricanes.

The GOES satellites also scan the entire disk of the Earth every three hours. These are used to produce “full disk movies” from the last five days of satellite imagery data from GOES-13 in the Atlantic and GOES-11 in the eastern Pacific. With just eight frames per day, time flies by quickly as weather circulates across the Western Hemisphere.

“We have recently changed the code for the up-to-date GOES movies, including the “Hurricane Alley” movies, that have links on the page goes.gsfc.nasa.gov,” said Dr. Dennis Chesters of the NASA GOES Project at Goddard. “They are now all encoded with H264, the digital compression standard used by the cable TV industry.”

Because of the modern video standard, these play on all personal computers (Windows and Macs) that are up-to-date.

Dr. Chesters said that the NASA GOES Project also slightly resized the GOES movies, so that all of the movies have at least one dimension that is a sub-multiple of a standard HDTV dimension (720/1080). “This makes it easy for software that automatically fits movies to a screen to resize them without complicated interpolation,” Dennis said. “So, the movies appear sharp and have snappy playback on small-screen devices. For instance, they work nicely on the popular iPads.”

As a hidden bonus, each of the four frames at the top of the page (WEST+EAST for USA+GLOBE) is linked to a “reference movie” that downloads a movie that is the right size for your device. This is a Quicktime-only feature that will work on all Apple computers and Windows PCs that have Quicktime installed. The “reference movie” will accommodate iPhones and iPads as well as Macs and PCs. It sends a highly compressed version if the device is using a slow G3 phone link, but sends a larger, less compressed version to bigger screens with faster connections.

For the 2010 hurricane season, the NASA GOES Project is considering creating a gallery of up-to-date movies in many sizes/formats, with a separate web page with explanations and links.

“I’ve always liked the slots at Slotland, that’s one of the reasons I’ve been playing here practically since the Internet was invented,” said one regular player. “The new games are the same basic games but the new graphics and sounds are a real treat for the senses!”

“The other reason I stick with Slotland,” continued the player, “is that their customer service is so good. They’re always very prompt and polite when they answer questions and there’s never any fuss when you deposit or withdraw.”

The new game graphics look best when the new “full screen” option, which blows the game graphics to fill the whole screen, is selected. The re-designed games also feature improved navigation to other games and site features, and brief video tutorials to get new players started. The 5 games that have been re-launched so far are:

Jacks or Better – players hold and draw cards to collect the best possible poker hand, trying to get at least a pair of Jacks

Golden 8 – spinning diamonds earns bonus spins that multiply the last spin’s winnings

Reel Riot – a kitschy three wheel, single payline slot machine where up to two of the three reels can be held for the next spin and a Double Wild symbol can double or quadruple a winning line’s payout.

Treasure Box – a strategic, skill-based slot game that uses the same type of slot strategy as multi-hand video poker games such as Triple Play

Wild Heart – roaring lions and cursor eating snakes adorn this triple video poker game played with three 54-card decks (that include two jokers to increase chances of winning)

In a special summer contest, Slotland players are invited to submit photos of their favorite place to play at Slotland. Entries close 31 July when the best photo will win a $250 bonus, the next two $100 each and the remaining two $50 each! Entries will be posted on Flickr as they are received.

Slotland.com currently features 15 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Four of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. All of Slotland’s slot machines give players the option of placing a maximum bet for a chance at the progressive jackpot. There’s nothing to download or install at Slotland since all games, including the new Flash version, are instant play casino games.

The jackpot at Slotland, which was hit in May for over $163,000, is already back up to nearly $100,000. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADay.com, the jackpot was won last month for $200,000 and is currently over $55,000.

From the total pool of hopeful superstars coming to Hollywood, 10 will be selected to participate in the reality series, “Your OWN Show: Oprah’s Search for the Next TV Star.”  At least one of the top five from the online popular vote is guaranteed a spot among the 10 on the series.

When auditions closed June 26, 2010, there were more than 9,500 online videos and more than 6,100 contestants who came to open casting calls in New Jersey, Texas, California and Georgia. Over 143 million votes were cast online and the results were carefully verified by a third party before the winners of the online competition were announced.

During the verification process, the final vote counts fluctuated, as votes that could not be authenticated were eliminated from the competition.   The verification process did not change the top 8 applicants with the most votes online.

“The response was amazing with over 15,000 people having auditioned,” said Executive Producer Mark Burnett. “Oprah Winfrey is such an inspiration and motivates people to seek their dreams. This response shows the enormity of those who wish to communicate their ideas on television.”

“Your OWN Show,” presented by Kohl’s and premiering on OWN in January 2011, will be a reality series in which contestants compete in a “host boot camp.” Challenges will range from booking interviews and researching story ideas, to successfully completing an actual screen test. The person selected to be the winner will receive a 6-episode commitment for his or her own show, executive produced by Mark Burnett, and scheduled to premiere on OWN in 2011.

Available as of July 5, the free “app” can be downloaded from iTunes. With it, users are able to make charitable donations, starting at $1, with the touch of a finger. Each week, PocketPhilanthropist features a different charity and distributes “app” generated donations back to that charity.

“After witnessing the power of mobile donations for the Haiti crisis last year, we’ve found that avenues for making donations should become increasingly simple and accessible,” said Nathan Moyer, co-founder of PocketPhilanthropist, Inc. Moyer and Hong founded the organization after witnessing over $3 million raised in one day for the Haiti crisis via mobile text donations.  ”Raising funds is a challenge for most charities, our vision is to simplify the process for them, and inspire people to take action today,” said Moyer.

Being one of the only downloadable applications with a “Donate” button, PocketPhilanthropist hopes to raise $1 million in its first year. The initial charities to be featured include 3MAlliance, an effort to save the rain forest in Ecuador, and One Mission International, an effort to fulfill the needs of Ethiopia’s orphaned children.

Throughout the months of July and August, PocketPhilanthropist is competing in the Pepsi Refresh competition in hopes of winning funds that will be used to support the non-profit. To vote for PocketPhilanthropist, visit http://www.refresheverything.com/philanthropy.

The study observed 35,423 patients with diabetes, hypertension, or both, in Kaiser Permanente’s Southern California region, finding that use of secure patient-physician messaging in any two-month period was associated with statistically significant improvements in HEDIS (Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set) care measurements. Results included 2.0 percentage-points to 6.5 percentage- points improvements in glycemic, cholesterol and blood pressure screening and control.

“Putting patients and their data at the center of care allows Kaiser Permanente to improve health care quality, access and cost,” said George Halvorson, chairman and CEO, Kaiser Permanente. “This data proves that health IT can be a fundamental component of accomplishing those three critical goals.”

More than 556,000 secure patient-physician e-mail threads, containing more than 630,000 messages, were logged throughout the study.  Patients initiated 85 percent of those threads, which shows that health IT is empowering patients to better manage their health care. Kaiser Permanente’s secure e-mail tool, called “E-mail my doctor,” is one of the most popular features of the My Health Manager (www.kp.org/myhealthmanager) comprehensive personal health record. My Health Manager, used by more than 3 million Kaiser Permanente members, provides patients with secure and timely access to lab test results, medication information and refill capabilities, summaries of their health conditions, appointment scheduling, and other important health information with just the click of a mouse.

Kaiser Permanente previously found that 75 percent of all patient-physician e-mail encounters addressed ongoing medical problems or care plans. The leading reasons patients contact physicians are to discuss changes in a health condition, lab test results, a new condition, drug dosage adjustments, or the need for a new prescription.  Other research (Dr. Yi Yvonne Zhou et al, American Journal of Managed Care, 2007) found that patients who use secure e-mail were 7 percent to 10 percent less likely to schedule an office visit, and 14 percent less likely to contact their physician by phone compared to those not using online services.

This study is one of the first to show that these electronic communications have a measurable positive effect on patient outcomes, in addition to improving efficiency.  Kaiser Permanente physicians participating in the study reported that the use of secure e-mail messaging has been highly successful for diabetes patients, enabling them to follow medical instructions to the letter. Physicians also are encouraging patients to schedule an appointment if they raise issues via e-mail that are too complex or lengthy to address using that medium.

“Kaiser Permanente members using My Health Manager send more than 870,000 secure messages to their clinicians each month,” said Terhilda Garrido, co-author of the study and vice president, health information technology transformation and analytics, Kaiser Permanente. “Physicians are using the tool to connect with their patients like never before, sending nearly 3.5 million messages to patients between January and April this year, and empowering them to take better care of themselves and manage their total health.”

“There are a lot of reasons that patients contact their care teams. It is important to keep the lines of communication open, while not inconveniencing patients by playing phone tag or bringing them into the office unnecessarily,” said Michael Kanter, MD, co-author of the study and regional medical director of quality and clinical analysis, Southern California Permanente Medical Group. “We have always felt that use of secure e-mail messaging is a huge patient satisfier and an efficient way of handling many routine care issues.  Now, with this study, we can also state that secure e-mail improves clinical outcomes for patients.”

This study was authored by Dr. Yi Yvonne Zhou, senior manager of health information technology transformation and analytics, Kaiser Permanente, Portland, Ore.; Michael H. Kanter, MD, regional medical director of quality and clinical analysis, Southern California Permanente Medical Group; Jian J.
