Between the Lines Latest Post | Last 10 Posts | Archives Social networks: The new pulse of the Internet Posted in: General Web Technology Social networking I ran across a post from Rich Miller at Data Center Knowledge noting that Akamai's content delivery network is handling 1 million rich media requests per second from social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Bebo. Much of the traffic comes from applications maker such as Slide and RockYou with tens of millions of users. ComScore released its November 2007 numbers for widget consumption as another indicator that the widgets are becoming like blood flowing through arteries of the Internet. In fact, content is becoming more modularized and distributable, and the lines between applications and objects are blurring.

It is, however, also the genesis of the verbose title of this blog. Unfortunately, food is not the subject, nor is this (supposed to be) an outlet for angry, cynical diatribes directed toward any number of things that I might find depressing, embarrassing, excruciating, or all of the above in this Austin music scene that we all know and love.
Several incarnations followed, and the axiom was eventually whittled down to Shut up; Im listening. But the simpler the better, right? And sometimes Ill admit it I get tired of listening and just want everyone and every machine to be quiet for one minute, just to reflect on whatever might have aurally (or mentally) transpired, be it sound, scream, whisper, or riff. Dont take it the wrong way. Shut Up is not meant in malice. Its intention is not to instigate or shred.
Manchester United 3-1 Tottenham
Since losing to West Ham on December 29, United have won their last four matches without conceding a goal, while Spurs have won three in a row in all competitions and are still cock-a-hoop after getting Arsenal Under-13s in a headlock on Wednesday, nicking their dinner money and shoving their heads down the toilet to reach the Carling Cup final. I'm going for United to win 3-2, just for the hell of it. .
Pharm MD Solutions Becomes an ASCP MTM Provider Partner
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (ASCP) announces that PharmMD Solutions has become one of ASCP's Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Provider Partners. This announcement was made today at Senior Care Pharmacy '07 - ASCP's 38th Annual Meeting and Exhibition taking place in Philadelphia. The need for skilled clinicians to deliver MTM services has increased dramatically since the coverage of MTM services under Medicare Part D, especially for patients residing outside of nursing facilities. Our MTM Provider Partners, recognizing the excellence of ASCP members, turned to the Society to help them enlist consultant and senior care pharmacists to deliver MTM services to their contracted enrollees. Consultant and senior care pharmacists are clinicians specially trained in geriatric pharmacotherapy who review patients' medication regimens to ensure they are receiving the most appropriate, safe, and most effective medications, and that they are used appropriately.
