De Gea eyeing league success
Posted: at 12:30 pm
David De Gea is confident Manchester United will make up for their Europa League disappointment by winning the Barclays Premier League.
After doing so much to keep United in their last-16 tie with Athletic Bilbao at Old Trafford last week, even De Gea could not prevent a 2-1 defeat that sent the Red Devils tumbling out of a second UEFA competition in a single season. It means United, like chief rivals Manchester City, have only domestic supremacy to play for now.
"It is very important for us now to try and secure the Premier League," said De Gea.
"We are first. We are the leaders. Manchester City are in good form but we have the team and the supporters to win the league.
"We have a big game coming up at Wolves on Sunday and that is what we must concentrate on now."
At least on a personal level, De Gea had nothing to reproach himself for even if his return to Spain did not go as he would have wished.
There was more evidence of the 21-year-old starting to take command of his penalty area and slowly he does feel the adjustment from Spain to England is being made.
"The English league is a bit more aggressive but football is football," he said. "There is no real difference.
"Little by little I feel my confidence in England is growing.
"In the beginning it was all new, the place, the country, the team. But gradually I am getting used to everything and hopefully that continues."

Are the Real Housewives of Vancouver eroding our idea of financial success?
Posted: at 12:30 pm
It's no secret that North American women are addicted to The Real Housewives reality television franchise. Whether it's following Camille's divorce in Hollywood or gossiping about Ramona's ridiculous outbursts in NYC, women just can't seem to get enough of these feisty females. And now, as Shaw Media begins ramping up for the first Canadian version of the franchise (The Real Housewives of Vancouver will begin airing in April on Shaw Media's Slice channel), we northern gals can enjoy the on-air antics of our very own privileged princesses.
Is this really the "reality" that we want to support? Granted, The Real Housewives franchise, like other reality shows, is one part truth mixed with two parts fiction. Brilliantly written and produced with respect to entertainment value, these television shows are designed to provide us with an escape from reality, offering sensational storylines and tabloid talk.
The question remains, however, whether these shows have a much deeper impact than pure escapist fun. [More: Livin' large: What is a real income of real housewives and modern families?]
Stereotypes abound Over the past two decades, Canadian men have consistently been two to three times more likely than women to rise to leadership roles in the corporate arena. Women are still fighting to break through the glass ceiling and dispel the very stereotypes perpetuated by popular media.
Critics argue that shows like The Real Housewives put women into the gutter of society, suggesting dangerous stereotypes and discriminatory thinking. [More: Rebranding girls: How do we increase our value in the world?]
Just look at the cast line-up for the new Vancouver series:
Frankly, some might argue that it's hard to tell what's worse the fact that these women allow themselves to be presented in such one-dimensional fashion, or that we as viewers can't get enough of it. [More: Women, aging & economics: The changing labour market]
Designer labels don't bring success From the fully loaded Escalades to the over-the-top soirees, The Real Housewives franchise does a brilliant job of equating success and status with materialistic possessions and excessive consumption. In fact, that's part of the appeal. These women are wealthy, influential and powerful, but for what reasons? Instead of focusing on fulfilling careers, strong friendships and loving families, the main selling points of the series are often salacious gossip and catty behaviour.
One might indeed infer that we're headed down a dangerous road in our culture a road where it's impossible to tell what's real and what's scripted. And while most of us are perceptive enough to tell the difference, it's still a tad troublesome that reality TV producers tend to focus on seemingly psychotic, superficial women as their central characters. While every nuance of these shows is plotted, shot and edited for dramatic effect, they're still based on real-life people. And from Twitter wars to Today Show tiffs, it's tough to tell where the scripted story ends, especially when some cast members of the franchise behave the same way off-set as they do on. [More: The skinny & rich conundrum: Eating disorders among executive women on the rise ]
More importantly, when all is said and done, how can we expect young women to strive for personal achievements, break down barriers and build a better future when we provide them with a limited view of what a successful woman should be?

MMRGlobal Introduces Worldwide Standardized Personal Health Record and Document Management System to America's Military
Posted: at 12:30 pm
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire -03/16/12)- MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTC.BB: MMRF.OB - News) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records (PHRs) and electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, today announced it presented the Company's patented Personal Health Record products and services for active military, civilian personnel, veterans and America's wounded warriors at the Military Electronic Health Records Conference, March 15-16, in Washington, D.C. MMR is no stranger to Wounded Warriors initiatives, having sponsored The Thalians benefit for Operation Mend. The event chaired by MMRGlobal Chief Executive Officer Robert H. Lorsch and Company Spokesperson Kira Reed Lorsch raised more than $1 million last year for the Operation Mend program that helps heal severely wounded U.S. service members.
The Company's standardized approach to health information technology offers seamless connectivity to personal health information for military and civilian personnel wherever they are stationed in the world. Using the Company's MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record technology, medical records and other important documents can be securely managed for active duty personnel and veterans and their families from any hospital or healthcare facility in the world to the most advanced electronic medical record systems currently being deployed by the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Veterans Affairs and major contractors. The system also acts as a communications and message center for the entire family to share photos, notes and videos when a family member is away.
According to Richard M. Lagani, MMRGlobal Executive Vice President, "Our nation's wounded warriors are receiving care from doctors, hospitals and healthcare professionals in locations around the world, and what we are learning is that MyMedicalRecords is one of the only services of its kind that is ready to be deployed anywhere in the world that our military is deployed. Despite the fact that standardization across varied systems in the DoD/VA environment is rare, MMR can seamlessly connect to any medical facility in the world regardless of the level of technology employed without significant connectivity or integration costs."
MMR management is meeting with military and civilian personnel at the Military EHR Conference who are working on DoD/VA interoperability. MMR's patented solutions meet the needs of both the DoD and VA, providing access from virtually anywhere through any web-enabled device. Furthermore, MMR offers the one solution that easily bridges the gap between civilian and military health records for active duty personnel and their families.
Each MyMedicalRecords account can cover a family of up to 10 members, providing secure storage, retrieval and sharing of personal health information and actual copies of medical records and medical images such as X-rays and CT scans in addition to any important document needed in an emergency. In addition to safely maintaining a full range of personal health data for easy access, including lab reports and test results, conditions, medications and immunization records, MyMedicalRecords also includes multiple special "lockbox" folders with secondary passwords to protect other important documents such as military discharge papers, gun permits, passports, birth and marriage certificates, insurance policies, and deeds of trust. Moreover, because of its patented integrated telecommunications platform, the MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record also incorporates an online pin-protected voice mailbox.
