VANCOUVER, BC, March 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) The Viira Outlook Suite is the first and only GTD software application to bring together the power of Microsoft Outlook and a BlackBerry smartphone into a personal productivity solution that helps users stay organized and get things done from wherever they are. Based on David Allen's bestselling Getting Things Done, the Viira Outlook Suite applies the power and reliability of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server to provide near-instant synchronization of to-dos, projects, priorities and commitments between Microsoft Outlook and a BlackBerry device.
The Viira Outlook Suite consists of a BlackBerry GTD app and an Outlook add-in that synchronize wirelessly and provide support for all key aspects of a GTD-based organizational system both on the go and from a desktop PC. Version 1.1 of the suite adds email classification, quick search and quick launch capabilities as well as touchscreen navigation support for owners of the popular BlackBerry Torch and BlackBerry Storm device model. The Viira Outlook Suite offers a 14-day free trial and is supported on all modern BlackBerry models as well as on Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010.
"Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity" is a best-selling time management book by David Allen. The principles of the book have received worldwide popularity and have been embraced by millions of entrepreneurs, professionals and executives alike. Microsoft Outlook and BlackBerry smartphones have been the productivity platforms of choice for many fans of Getting Things Done and the Viira Outlook Suite comes to the rescue of many who have previously been unable to leverage the full power of a GTD Outlook solution because of the lack of synchronization with BlackBerry devices.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is a unique and differentiating component of the BlackBerry solution that enables enterprises of all sizes to achieve high level of application mobility and wireless IT data control. The Viira Outlook Suite leverages the powerful synchronization capabilities offered by BES to provide a seamless synchronized workflow with updates to the underlying GTD system propagated wirelessly between a BlackBerry smartphone and Microsoft Outlook. Owners of a BIS-powered BlackBerry smartphone or those without a BlackBerry plan can sync via USB.

Elderly see pedestrians half as often as younger drivers, according to Ben-Gurion U. researchers
2011-03-08
BEER-SHEVA, ISRAEL, March 7, 2011 – Elderly drivers are half as likely to see pedestrians on the sidewalk due to a limited field of view, and compensate in part by driving more slowly, according to a study by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers.
In the online edition of Accident Analysis and Prevention, the study compared reaction times and perception of pedestrians as hazards between experienced elderly and non-elderly drivers.
The study was conducted in response to an increasing number of pedestrian-related accidents among elderly drivers. Age 65 ...

Flipping a switch on neuron activity
2011-03-08
WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 7, 2011) -- All our daily activities, from driving to work to solving a crossword puzzle, depend on signals carried along the body's vast network of neurons. Propagation of these signals is, in turn, dependent on myriad small molecules within nerve cells -- receptors, ion channels, and transmitters -- turning on and off in complex cascades. Until recently, the study of these molecules in real time has not been possible, but researchers at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Munich have attached light-sensing modules to ...
Body mass index and risk of death in Chinese population

Chinese people with a body mass index (BMI) of 24-25.9 had the lowest risk of death, according to a study published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) (pre-embargo link only) http://www.cmaj.ca/embargo/cmaj101303.pdf
Obesity has increased significantly across the globe and the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese by 2015. Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other chronic diseases.

Dementia risk is higher in people with both stroke and irregular heartbeat
2011-03-08
Stroke patients who also suffer from an irregular heartbeat are at double the risk of developing dementia, according to a new study by the University of East Anglia (UEA).
Published tomorrow in the journal Neurology, the findings show that stroke survivors with an irregular heartbeat – or atrial fibrillation - are 2.4 times more likely to develop dementia than stroke survivors without the heart condition.
The researchers analysed 15 studies with more than 45,000 participants and an average age of 72. They compared patients with and without atrial fibrillation, and ...
Stroke survivors with irregular heartbeat may have higher risk of dementia
2011-03-08
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Stroke survivors who have an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation may be at higher risk of developing dementia than stroke survivors who do not have the heart condition, according to research published in the March 8, 2011, print issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Atrial fibrillation affects more than two million Americans, and it is more common as people age. About 15 percent of strokes occur in people with atrial fibrillation. The heart's two upper chambers do not beat effectively in the condition, ...

Diabetes belt identified in southern United States
2011-03-08
San Diego, CA, March 8, 2011 – In the 1960s, a group of U.S. states with high age-adjusted stroke mortality defined a "stroke belt." Until recently, geographic patterns of diabetes had not been specifically characterized in the same manner. In an article published in the April 2011 issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, researchers were able to identify clustered high prevalence areas, or a "diabetes belt" of 644 counties in 15 mostly southeastern states using data compiled for the first time of estimates of the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes for every ...
How sweet it is: Why your taste cells love sugar so much
2011-03-08
PHILADELPHIA (March 7, 2011) – A new research study dramatically increases knowledge of how taste cells detect sugars, a key step in developing strategies to limit overconsumption. Scientists from the Monell Center and collaborators have discovered that taste cells have several additional sugar detectors other than the previously known sweet receptor.
"Detecting the sweetness of nutritive sugars is one of the most important tasks of our taste cells," said senior author Robert F. Margolskee, M.D., Ph.D., a molecular neurobiologist at Monell. "Many of us eat too much sugar ...
Researchers define a new type of secretory cell in the intestine
2011-03-08
The intestinal epithelium consists of four main specialized cell lineages: absorptive enterocytes and three secretory cell types known as enteroendocrine, Paneth, and goblet cells. But a rare, fifth type of intestinal cell called tuft cells also exists. Defined by the thick brush of long microvilli that project from their apical surface, tuft cells are seen in several epithelial tissues, yet little is known about their function due to a lack of tuft cell–specific markers.
In the March 7 issue of The Journal of Cell Biology (www.jcb.org), a team of French researchers ...
