Now readily available from Sea-Doo marine retailers around New Zealand, the Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 personal watercraft has earned its Canadian manufacturer Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) two significant awards in recent months.

In June the RXP-X 260 was named the 2012 ski of the year by one of the watercraft industrys largest online forums, PWCToday.com.

John Salvatore of PWCToday.com said: "PWCToday.coms six-person selection committee awarded an amazing 9.14 average out of 10 to the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X and nearly a perfect 10 in the fun factor category. From the looks to the handling, every rider had nothing but praise for this watercraft."

This is BRPs second PWCToday.com ski of the year award with the 2011 Sea-Doo GTI SE 130 model taking the top spot last year.

This year, the 2012 Sea-Doo RXP-X was judged side-by-side with the best new watercraft from the industry by a variety of riders of varying skill and experience levels in multiple categories. With its improved rider ergonomics and new hull design, the ability of the new Sea-Doo RXP-X to allow riders to fully realise their performance potential led to high marks in overall fun.

The new high performance Sea-Doo also won a 2012 Red Dot award earlier this year for product design in the transportation category. The Red Dot design awards is a prestigious international design competition in which more than 1,800 manufacturers and designers from 58 countries submitted a total of 4,515 product designs.

New Zealand manager Richard Shaw says, when developing the new Sea-Doo RXP-X 260, BRP designers completely rethought rider ergonomics which lead to the new Ergolock system.

"BRP's ErgoLock system has received high praise for its angled foot-well wedges, a fully adjustable handlebar and a gradually narrowing seat designed to better connect the rider to the watercraft," says Shaw. "It reduces upper body fatigue by allowing the rider to ride with more confidence and less effort.

"The ErgoLock system also complements the tight turning aspect of the new, lean-in style T3 hull that test riders noted as providing near effortless turning capabilities."

The all-new T-shape (T3) hull - which embodies a literal T-shape when viewed from the transom - has extreme hard and soft chines allowing for more precise cornering, enhanced lean in and better tracking. The T-shape provides two running surfaces: a wide surface for low speed stability and a narrower surface in the middle that aids in rough water tracking and ability to lean into turns. Removable trim tabs extend past the transom to lengthen the running surface, acting to limit bow rise and keep the RXP-X more parallel to the water's surface. Three-position adjustable rear sponsons improve lateral stability and can be set for the riders skill level and riding environment.

Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 named ski of the year

After three seasons of tear-inducing strife, Parenthood fans hoping Kristina Braverman would face an easier road in season four were dealt a big blow as the closing moments of tonight's episode revealed the mother of three would be battling breast cancer this season.

Turns out, star Monica Potter was not only excited to explore this storyline, but actually suggested it to creator Jason Katims after going through a scare of her own. I caught up with Potter to talk about this deeply personal character arc, how The Braverman Family handles it and what lies ahead in Parenthood season four.

ETonline: What were your thoughts upon learning Kristina would battle breast cancer this season? Monica Potter: I actually had to go for a mammogram in April. I'd never had one before and didn't really know what to expect. The [technician] was reading the film afterwards and said she couldn't get a good reading, so I was a little nervous [because]. Then, I got a phone call to come back to the office and did the whole process again. The doctor said there was something there they wanted to keep an eye on. I ended up being fine, but it sparked an idea because that is really scary. As a mom, as a wife, as a friend, a sister, as a woman, you have to be the person who takes care of everybody. You can't be sick. So I called Jason [Katims, creator] and asked if we might explore Kristina having breast cancer this season. He emailed me back right away, saying he had the chills because the writing room just broke the story. Which is insane. It was so weird that this was a storyline they also wanted to explore.

ETonline: What have you learned from preparing for this storyline? Potter: I've learned a lot from friends and family members who've had it. The whole process has been interesting because you see how many people's lives change going through this. It's not just the woman, it's everyone in her life as well.

ETonline: How does Adam (played by Peter Krause) react? Potter: Adam goes into care-taking mode. "Are you OK, Kristina? Is everything fine? Are you feeling OK?" Inundates her with questions. For her part, Kristina is a little bit in denial since she feels fine. She keeps saying, "I don't feel sick." I know that's what a lot of moms in life would do. Keep calm and carry on.

ETonline: Kristina is a character who always seems in control. Has it been exciting as an actor to play her in a situation where she has to give up a lot of her control? Potter: That's been the toughest part. She's a control freak, she really is [but] it comes from a place of love, not a place of selfishness -- she just wants to make sure her family is taken care of. So when this hits them, as a family, she feels helpless. She doesn't know how to react. At certain times, when she's alone, you'll see her break down but she doesn't show that too much because she has to be strong for the family.

ETonline: Kristina barely goes an episode without crying, and neither does the audience since your performance makes us empathize with her so deeply. But is playing such a raw nerve exhausting on you? Potter: I'm not a big crier in real life, I tend to laugh a lot more than I cry, so I guess I have a reserve of emotions. I don't cry at home, so I get to do it work. It's a good release. I also take everything Kristina does to heart, and feel everything she's going through so deeply. I modeled her a bit after my mom and my mom didn't always have the easiest life. She's such a care-taker and a go-getter [starts to cry]. Oh man, see, I'm fine talking about me, but switch it over to think about her, and those emotions are right there.

PUMA today launches the next RACE OFF video, this time with the Spanish International footballer Cesc Fbregas in the hot seat.

Check out his personal performance today on http://www.puma.com/raceoff, with the English cricketer Craig Kieswetter to follow as the next challenger on Thursday, 20th September 2012.

Before his own performance in the simulator, Cesc Fbregas said, If you watch a sport from the outside, it always looks easy. In football, many people on the stand think it must be simple, but I can tell you, as soon as you get onto the pitch, things turn out to be a lot more difficult. I am sure this is the same thing for the Formula One drivers, so I would love to get the chance to once step into Nico Rosbergs shoes to drive a proper racing car on a circuit.

This summer, Formula One Star Nico Rosberg of the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 team, challenged some of the best from the world of sport to try their hand in Formula One. PUMA RACE OFF sees sporting stars such as Sergio Agero, Cesc Fbregas, Michael Carrick and many more given the chance to prove their talent in the fastest sport - the fastest will have the opportunity of a driving lesson from Nico, before putting their skills to the test in a high-performance Mercedes-Benz car around a real racing circuit.

Nico Rosberg commented, PUMA RACE OFF is a very interesting concept and I really like the idea of merging different sport categories. And, he added cheekily, I am intrigued to see how all these top athletes perform in a real sport!

PUMA will launch two new videos every week, showcasing individual player performances on the famous Monza race track which can be seen at: http://www.puma.com/raceoff. Follow PUMA Motorsport Facebook and @PUMAMotorsport on Twitter for regular updates.

Thorne Research Launches Thorne Performance, A New Venture In Sports Nutrition

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 18, 2012) - "The time is now for patient-centered care, and doctors are no longer just in, they are virtually everywhere," said Bob Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. ( OTCBB : MMRF ), in a blog posted on September 17th entitled "The Time, Space and Medical Records Continuum."Available at http://blog.mmrglobal.com/, the blog calls attention to media reporting on the awareness of patient-centered care and the explosion taking place in eHealth and health IT.Many healthcare analysts are predicting that health IT represents one of the best investment opportunities of our time, making this the right place at the right time for companies like MMRGlobal, a leading provider of patient-controlled Personal Health Records (PHRs) and electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals.In fact, just last week, the Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/health/future/la-he-patient-centered-care-20120913,0,4906082.story) and iHealthBeat (http://www.ihealthbeat.org/perspectives/2012/health-it-promotion-goes-directtoconsumer.aspx), along with numerous additional other media and bloggers, published articles and commentary on eHealth topics and the role patients will play in managing their own care.

The Company's MyMedicalRecords.com patented Personal Health Record connects patients to all their healthcare providers regardless of the system the physicians use at their office, be it plain paper or the most advanced electronic medical records system, and is the only system of its kind that does this for the entire family, including pets. This enables patients to be an active participant in managing the cost and quality of their family's healthcare and ensures that they are prepared in the event of any emergency.

Since its inception MMRGlobal, which went public in 2009, has been focusing on building a Personal Health Record that would seamlessly and securely allow patients to maintain copies of all their family's medical records and other important documents in one safe accessible place.The Company's MyMedicalRecords PHR, with more than 750,000 members, does just that.Lorsch had predicted a patient-centered care phenomenon, insisting that having a Personal Health Record would someday soon be as mainstream and important as having a credit report, and clearly, the time is now.

Increasingly, patients are calling the shots for their family's healthcare.They are empowered by having unfettered access to their protected health information through a patient portal or PHR such as MyMedicalRecords. In a special section in the Los Angeles Times dated September 13th, "The Doctor-Patient Relationship is Evolving," readers can see how eHealth and patient-controlled medicine is invaluable, particularly when test results are being monitored through telemedicine devices and the doctor's bag is being replaced by a Webcam. The eHealth phenomenon also represents one of the only ways doctors will be able to cost-effectively see more than 30 million new patients as they are added to insurance rolls from Obamacare.

According to the article "Health IT Promotion Goes Direct-To-Consumer," in the September 11th edition of iHealthBeat, "Most U.S. physicians are in the process of implementing electronic health records, motivated by the incentives provided through the HITECH Act. As physicians use EHRs more meaningfully, engaging with patients and their data is a primary goal for the investment of roughly $40 billion worth of taxpayer dollars."This includes a regulation that requires physicians provide Personal Health Records by 2014.

The iHealthBeat article continues, "Many people in the U.S. aren't aware that their health data are indeed 'theirs.'" According to Lorsch, "As more and more patients realize their health information is 'Theirs,' they will look for easy-to-use online systems to consolidate all their family's medical records in one secure place."

To further underscore all that is going on to promote patient empowerment, campaigns by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology on the importance of PHRs seem to be everywhere, providing numerous testimonials like this one available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msBYOYYeHPw&feature=em-share_video_user.

Even the music industry is getting into healthcare with the release of a music video entitled, "Gimme My DaM Data" (http://vimeo.com/48221070), which should not be nominated for a Grammy but might be seen someday soon on "The Doctors."

About MMRGlobal, Inc.

MMRGlobal, Inc., through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc., provides secure and easy-to-use online Personal Health Records ("PHRs") and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions, serving consumers, healthcare professionals, employers, insurance companies, financial institutions, and professional organizations and affinity groups.

MyMedicalRecords is built on proprietary, patented technologies to allow documents, images and voicemail messages to be transmitted and stored in the system using a variety of methods, including fax, phone, or file upload without relying on any specific electronic medical record platform to populate a user's account. The Company's professional offering, MMRPro, is designed to give physicians' offices an easy and cost-effective solution to digitizing paper-based medical records and sharing them with patients in real time through an integrated patient portal.MMR is an Independent Software Vendor Partner with Kodak to deliver an integrated turnkey EMR solution for healthcare professionals. Through its merger with Favrille, Inc. in January 2009, the Company acquired intellectual property biotech assets that include anti-CD20 antibodies and data and samples from its FavId/Specifid vaccine clinical trials for the treatment of B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Patients Using Personal Health Records to Call the Shots While Doctors Give Them

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2012 /CNW/ - LoyaltyOne released today research findings that show when it comes to privacy, Canadian consumers are still protecting some of their data, yet willingly sharing some very personal information.

Of the 1,000 Canadian consumers responding to an online survey, four in 10 said they'd be willing to give a trusted company their religious affiliation and sexual orientation (41 and 40 per cent respectively). Health information and political affiliation is also being shared with businesses (31 and 30 per cent respectively), but we're much more guarded about our location information. Just 22 per cent of respondents said they would provide browsing information and a mere 16 per cent would give up location via smart phone.

So sensitive is location information that the willingness to give it up is on par with willingness to divulge number of sexual partners (12 per cent).

"When it comes to the use of data, brands need to act like a great hotel concierge: able to provide suggestions that hit the mark every time without being overbearing or creepy," said Bryan Pearson, President of LoyaltyOne and author of The Loyalty Leap: Turning Customer Information Into Customer Intimacy. "There's a fine line between demonstrating you understand a customer and making them uncomfortable with the level of information you have about them."

Open for Business: Why Consumers are Unlocking the Gate to their Personal Information Canadians are considerably less likely than Americans to believe that companies exchange their personal information without permission, (72 per cent versus 84 per cent), but the value exchange has yet to be fully realized. Only about half (55 per cent) of Canadians feel companies send them relevant information, products and services based on what these companies know about them. And nearly two-thirds (68 per cent) would be willing to give more personal information if companies sent them relevant offers based on what they have shared. Canadian men, more so than women, believe their personal information is an asset for marketers (79 vs. 69 per cent).

"Marketers' efforts to create relevant customer experiences through data may not be resonating to the degrees that they hope," said Pearson. "Consumers are disappointed. For years they've provided their valuable information and they're not realizing something of suitable worth in return. If businesses don't act quickly to demonstrate they have the consumer's best interest at heart, they risk a continued erosion of the business-to-consumer relationship."

Privacy under the Microscope: The US/Canada Perspective

About the Report The results are summarized in the report, Customer Data - Privacy, Profit and the New Paradigm commissioned by LoyaltyOne, a global provider of coalition loyalty, customer analytics and loyalty services, completed online surveys in July 2012 with 1,000 U.S. and 1,000 Canadian consumers. The research is designed to test consumer attitudes about personal data collection and use by marketers. Statistical significance is calculated at the 95% confidence level. The report is available at http://loyalty.com/knowledge/articles/2012-privacy-research. Pearson will lead a free webinar based on the report on October 10 at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Tablets are transforming the way content is consumed and challenging the usage patterns for personal computers in the USA, according to J.D. Power and Associates.

The inaugural Tablet Satisfaction Study finds that tablet owners spend 7.5 hours per week browsing the Internet, watching videos, listening to music, and reading books on their device, compared with spending 9.6 hours per week on a personal computer for the same activities.

Overall satisfaction is 857 (on a 1,000-point scale) among owners who view three or more hours of video per week on their tablet, which is 45 points higher than among those who do not. In addition, those who spend three or more hours viewing video content are more likely to purchase another tablet from their current manufacturer in the future than are those who do not watch as much video content (90% vs. 81%, respectively).

"As tablet computing, multimedia, display, and application offerings continue to evolve, their impact on usage patterns will continue to grow," said Dr. Uma S. Jha, senior director of mobile devices at J.D. Power and Associates. "Tablets are a force in the marketplace that offer a great alternative to laptops and netbooks."

The study measures tablet owner satisfaction among those who have owned their tablet for less than two years. Satisfaction is measured across five key factors. In order of importance, they are: performance (26%), ease of operation (22%), styling and design (19%), features (17%), and price (16%).

Apple ranks highest, achieving a score of 848, and performs well in four factors: performance; ease of operation; styling and design; and features. Amazon (841) closely follows Apple in the rankings and performs particularly well in the price factor.

The study also finds the following key tablet usage patterns and purchase trends:

The 2012 U.S. Tablet Satisfaction Study is based on experiences reported by 1,985 tablet owners. The study was fielded in July 2012.

Tablets Challenge Personal Computers for Top Position in Content Consumption

Chris Thompson spent a long night in the hospital after last years Wake Forest game with two broken vertebrae in his back.

He wasnt sure if he would walk again let alone ever step foot on a field again.

I was in that hospital bed and so many thoughts were going through my mind, Thompson said. I didnt know if I wanted to play football again. I didnt know if I was going to play. I didnt know if I was going to be walking straight or anything like that.

Thompson didnt need surgery, rehabilitated with FSUs training staff and was back in August for practice. And he had some good runs in the first two games of the season. But he saved something special for Saturday.

After what was an emotional week, Thompson delivered two breathtaking runs of 74-yard and 80-yard touchdown on back-to-back plays in the second quarter of No. 5 Florida States 52-0 rout of Wake Forest before 68,833 fans at Doak Campbell Stadium.

In his third game back for FSU (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), Thompson ran for 197 yards on nine carries all of them in the first half.

What a difference a year makes, FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. It cant happen to a better young man.

The always-smiling Thompson was quick to praise his teammates for his long runs, which were boosted by blocks initially from the offensive line and fullback Lonnie Pryor as well as downfield blocks from wide receivers.

They were giving me all the props for making the touchdowns, but all I had to pretty much do was just run, Thompson said. I didnt have to make any great cuts. I didnt have to break any tackles, anything. My long runs were pretty much just open field runs. I thank those guys for doing that.

The appreciation was mutual. Thompson received a game ball in an emotional postgame locker room, and teammates were thrilled for him to have a big game against the team that he was injured against just 11 months ago.

Excerpt from:
RB Chris Thompson’s stellar day in FSU’s rout of Wake Forest caps personal comeback

MAN of the match Craig Holloway said after his side's 3-0 win against Faversham that he was very happy with his own personal performance but also paid credit to Faversham for the way they played.

Holloway produced a string of fine saves, especially in the second half, to keep the score at 2-0 before Gate wrapped the game up late on.

Sat 11 Aug 2012. - Football - Margate FC 2012-2013 Squad Photo Shoot. - Hartsdown Stadium, Hartsdown Road, Margate. - Craig Holloway.

Holloway said: "It's good feeling to get man-of-the-match. A couple of the saves I would have expected to make, the one from Wayne Wilson's effort was not too bad and then my mate Danny (Hockton) as well. He text me earlier in the day saying he would score so I had to keep him out.

"They came at us and it became very open in the last 20 as they had nothing to lose, they were throwing bodies forwards. Our centre halves and full backs put their bodies on the line and kept them out, it was a great performance from them.

"Our second goal was a special goal, it was a great counter attack. Rooky did well but I think Longy (Sam Long) gave him some info to let it go before he smashed it in.

"There is a good team ethic here at the minute. We are very organised and when we go into games we don't want to lose, we must be hard to beat and express ourselves."

Carl Rook was also on target on Tuesday but also had a contender for miss of the season when he scooped over from about a yard out with the goal at his mercy.

He said: "How I missed that I'll never know. I was on the line and I took a lot of stick off the fans which I deserved for that one, it was shocking. God knows how it went over the bar but it was harder to miss than score.

"We want easy draws but Aveley is not a very nice pitch. Faversham's pitch was OK but the last time I played at Aveley it was awful. It's the beauty of the FA Cup, seeing non-league teams go far."
