CENTENNIAL, CO, July 29, 2011 (Press-News.org) Change in the world of geotechnical engineering is accelerating with a vengeance, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the decision of Geotech consulting firm JACesare and Associates Inc. (JAC/CTS) to implement a fully automated, cloud-computing, Microsoft-based software solution from GeoSpec Systems.
"We here at JAC/CTS pride ourselves on and emphasize our innovation, reliability, and accessibility," says JAC/CTS principal William Caires. "We walk the talk by doing and being just that--innovative, reliable, and accessible. We search out new and innovative approaches to doing our work and building our business. GeoSpec meets our criteria and affords us an opportunity to continue walking the talk."
GeoSpec utilizes the powerful and proven capabilities of Microsoft's Dynamics AX enterprise software to deliver integrated solutions that answer the needs of geotechnical engineering firms regardless of size. Using geotechnical software based in cloud computing, the GeoSpec solution saves time and money via a mobile, real-time, geotech engineering data collection and management system. The GeoSpec geotechnical software is equally applicable to materials testing, welding inspection and testing, and concrete testing--to all of a geotech engineer's material testing needs.
With 25 years of geotechnical engineering experience, the GeoSpec management team is helping JAC/CTS and other geotech engineering firms implement "the future of materials testing and inspection as a fully digital/electronic reporting system that would provide expedited testing results to our project managers and clientele," according to field services manager Adam Sears. "With the recent advances in mobile computing technology we knew that digital reporting in materials testing could not be far off. Then we were introduced to GeoSpec and we were very pleased to find a company working on the programming to help evolve materials testing reporting into the digital age."

Supreme Court Protects Generic-Drug Makers from Side-Effect Lawsuits
2011-07-29
A recent decision by the U.S. Supreme Court protects makers of generic medicine from lawsuits by consumers who acquire side effects not adequately represented in warning labels. The ruling further hurts already-suffering individuals and has analysts predicting that a change in the laws will result.

Preserving America's Social Security Simply a Matter of Priority
2011-07-29
Recent reports regarding the future of the Social Security program have been grim, including one recently released by the Social Security and Medicare Board of the Trustees projecting Social Security Trust Funds to fully exhaust in 2036. In response to these projections - received in this time of heightened financial awareness - many politicians have concluded that Social Security benefits are no longer affordable and the program will have to privatize or perish.
This mindset betrays past generations of Americans who didn't quit when things got tough, they rolled up ...
The Ins and Outs of Wage Garnishment, and How to Avoid It
2011-07-29
In the world of debt collection, wage garnishment is the equivalent of bringing in the "big guns." It's a regular payment to a creditor, taken from a paycheck by the employer. This is a powerful tool used by creditors to get repaid, but it also requires that they initiate a lawsuit -- something many are reluctant to do until they've tried other methods first. In addition, as might be expected with this rather drastic method of repayment, there are state and federal laws that govern the process that restrict how much can be taken from a person's paycheck.
Wage ...
Improving Your New York Driving Record
2011-07-29
Most states have ways to penalize drivers who have several traffic violations on their records. From parking to speeding tickets, each subsequent offense could mean that you are one step closer to having your license suspended.
In New York, these violations add up as part of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) driver violation point system. Once a certain number of points is reached within a specific time period, drivers will be assessed additional monetary penalties and could have their licenses suspended or revoked.
How the Point System Can Affect Your ...
New Study Suggests Observation Instead of CT Scans
2011-07-29
When little ones suffer head injuries, it can be a traumatic event for both children and parents. Frantic parents want their children to see a doctor right away, and physicians (who largely practice defensive medicine) may seek CT scans to eliminate the possibility of any severe injuries. However, a recent study published in Pediatrics magazine revealed that children who have been injured would benefit from just being observed instead of immediately undergoing CT scans.
The physicians who took part in the study were uncertain whether too many CT scans could cause cancer ...
