SCOTTSDALE, AZ, December 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Axosoft, a privately held software company located in Scottsdale, Arizona, has announced the latest release of OnTime. With the latest release of OnTime, users are able to easily switch between Agile / Scrum and traditional terminology. This allows for scrum teams and traditional users to get started quickly in OnTime. With the Agile / Scrum terminology selected, rather than referring to items as Features, OnTime will refer to items as User Stories.
Other new powerful features added to this release include the ability for users to see a confirmation of their last change, along with the option to undo. It also introduces Quick Add for items and users. New administrators and users will now also be provided with a fully interactive tutorial system to help them get started smoothly.
Using Agile / Scrum Terminology:
Users creating a new OnTime database will be given the choice of using Traditional or Agile / Scrum terminology. This option simplifies the setup for scrum and agile teams. The flexibility to customize terminology has always been in the OnTime system, however, it was not always easy to figure out or discoverable. As always, users can customize terminology further through OnTime's system options.
A New Tutorial System:
When new users log in, OnTime will now provide a quick, interactive lesson that will help new users get started with OnTime. The tutorial covers basics like creating projects, releases, items, subitems, adding users, as well as general setup and administrative features. More advanced topics are triggered later, after administrators and users have used the system for some time.
Confirmation and Undo:
With the new drag-and-drop functionality that was introduced in 11.1, users are able to select multiple items and drag them to a team member, project, or release. This action instantly reassigns those items. With the new confirmation box, If a user drags the items to the wrong user, project, or release by mistake, the option to undo the last action will be shown for 30 seconds in the confirmation box.
Quick Add:
Adding several features (or user stories) into OnTime can be done with the new Quick Add shortcut. When users press [C] to add a new item, the new Quick Add form immediately opens up giving them the ability to quickly add the title. Additionally, the Quick Add form has the ability to show required fields. Quick Add also speeds up the process of adding Releases and Team Members (users).
Improved Appearance / User Experience:
The add and edit forms have a refreshed look with a new always-visible lower location for the dialog buttons. The attachments section, comments section, and dialog buttons have also been improved. Users can now use [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [S] to save changes in the add and edit forms without having to use their mouse. Two additional keyboard shortcuts have been added: [Z] for undo and [ / ] to search.
Hamid Shojaee, Founder and CEO of Axosoft said, "It's been less than 45 days since the release of OnTime 11.1, and we already have another substantial release with many new features. There are over 40 improvements in this update focused on improving the user experience."

OnTime is used in organizations like Verifone, EA Sports, Disney, the United States Army, Lego, Cox and Intel. The product is offered in a hosted, cloud environment (SaaS) or can be installed.

ORNL image analysis prowess advances retina research
2011-12-22
OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Dec. 21, 2011 – Armed with a new ability to find retinal anomalies at the cellular level, neurobiologists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have made a discovery they hope will ultimately lead to a treatment for cancer of the retina.

2011-12-22
Santa Claus may be getting up there, but he still has a few tricks up his fuzzy red sleeve. According to sources at his website, The Santa Claus Sleigh, Santa has installed Sleigh-Hider, the latest in sleigh-cloaking technology. Santa said he had no choice due to the increase in children using the Internet to track his every move on Christmas Eve.

Santa Claus believes that children start out using the tracker to know when to go to bed. But he adds, "As ...
Self-affirmation may break down resistance to medical screening
2011-12-22
People resist medical screening, or don't call back for the results, because they don't want to know they're sick or at risk for a disease. But many illnesses, such as HIV/AIDS and cancer, have a far a better prognosis if they're caught early. How can health care providers break down that resistance?
Have people think about what they value most, finds a new study by University of Florida psychologists Jennifer L. Howell and James A. Shepperd. "If you can get people to refocus their attention from a threat to their overall sense of wellbeing, they are less likely to avoid ...

2011-12-22
Cryogenic testing is complete for the final six primary mirror segments and a secondary mirror that will fly on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The milestone represents the successful culmination of a process that took years and broke new ground in manufacturing and testing large mirrors.
"The mirror completion means we can build a large, deployable telescope for space," said Scott Willoughby, vice president and Webb program manager at Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems. "We have proven real hardware will perform to the requirements of the mission."
The Webb telescope ...

Women should still be concerned about hormone replacement therapy, say McMaster researchers
2011-12-22
Hamilton, ON (Dec. 22, 2011) - McMaster University researchers have found consistent evidence that use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is associated with breast cancer globally. This study comes at a time when more women are again asking for this medication to control hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause.
The rising trend is at odds with a U.S. Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study of 2002 which found a higher incidence of breast cancer, heart attack and stroke among women using HRT. Those findings led to a rapid decline in HRT use – and a subsequent reduction ...

2011-12-22
In a major effort to speed up the process of officially recognizing new plant species, botanists will no longer be required to provide Latin descriptions of new species, and publication in online academic journals and books will be considered as valid as print publication.
The new rules, which were approved at a nomenclature conference held in conjunction with the International Botanical Congress in July, become effective January 1, 2012. They overturn longstanding historical requirements for identifying new species of plants, algae, and fungi.
"These are fundamental ...
