Abukai Expenses

Abukai Expenses is a knock-your-socks off mobile app that reinforces just how mobile device apps can change our lives in ways other than making us Angry Bird addicts. Abukai, available for Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry, is an excellent app for anyone who has to perform the mundane task of filing business expense reports. Expense reports are filed in three easy steps that require users to type in nary a character: take a picture of your receipt from a smartphone, submit it, and receive your finished expense report. Customization capabilities and integration with back-end financial systems makes this one of the hottest mobile apps and cloud service solutions for any business with employees who must submit expenses. It's not a cheap service, but if you have a lot of expenses to track, it's a great buy.

How to Get It
Interested users can try Abukai for a 30-day free trial. To get started, the app is downloaded from Apple's App Store, Blackberry App World and the Android Market. Pricing starts at $39 a year for an individual; corporate accounts have a one-time charge of $49 plus $99 per seat.? There are also custom plans available which are priced accordingly.

Users must configure settings on the app, such as which email addresses to send or forward expense reports to, and the currency in question?great because if you travel internationally, as expenses are automatically adjusted to your home currency.

Testing
The app opens to a simple interface with two options: "Add Receipt" and "Submit." Clicking on "Add Receipt" initializes your phone's camera. I tested taking pictures of some really wadded up, crinkled, fished-from-the-bottom-of-my-purse receipts with my Droid 2. The app makes suggestions on taking the best pic and, once your pics are snapped, asks if you want to use the picture, retake it or cancel.

Users then click the second button in the mobile UI "Submit." Doing so, causes the message box, "Would you like to get this expense report processed per your company?s rate plan?" to open. Clicking "yes" processes and uploads the receipt.

After a successful upload of about five dilapidated receipts, I received the message, "You should receive your finished expense report by email within the next 24 hours." However, I received my finished expense report in 10 minutes. Yes, this could be because I was doing a review for PCMag and the vendor was watching out for my test report, but I think 24 hours is a reasonable timeframe to get an expense report back, anyway.

The report was sent to my email account (the one I defined in the app settings) as an attachment. Actually, it was sent as several attachments: in a PDF file as well as in .XLS, .CSV, .OFX and .QBO formats. This is forward-thinking on the part of the Abukai developers. At least one of these file formats should be able to get imported into the more common back-end financial and accounting systems that most businesses already have deployed.

I took a look at the Excel formatted expense report. The information from the pictures I took has been sorted by the vendor name on each receipt, pricing information, location and the Abukai service even correctly categorized two of my receipts as groceries. The others which it could not identify a category for (one was a shoe store) had that field blank.

This is okay, because another great user component is the User Portal. This is accessed via Abukai's website?users do need to setup a login account for access. In the portal, you can fine-tune submitted reports. For instance I could add categories that were left blank in my finished report. There is also a nice graphical representation in the form of a pie chart that allows users to see which category the bulk of expenses fall under (you can keep an eye on those entertainment expenses!).??

An Accounts Payable Revolution
I have been looking at a number of impressive Android apps of late and Abukai is right there at the top of the list. I was blown away by the accuracy of the translation of data from a camera phone image into an expense report file. It's Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on steroids.

Abukai Expenses is a great way for employees to quickly submit expense reports and to track mileage, a feature recently introduced. Employers can offer a faster turnaround time for employee reimbursement as well as introduce an automated way to import expense data into the accounting system. The $99 per seat price may be expensive for some companies who may not have a large volume of expense reports to file and may just rely on Excel spreadsheets for that purpose.

However, if you spend lots of time on the road, or your business processes a large volume of expense reports?and especially if manual labor is involved getting those reports processed?then Abukai deserves a look. It's an easy 4.5 star Android app and an obvious Editors Choice for business users.

Man accused of taunting parents after killing teen (AP)

INDIAN HEAD PARK, Ill. ? Hours after coming home to find her 14-year-old daughter on the kitchen floor near the knife that had been used to stab the girl to death, a suburban Chicago woman started receiving taunting text messages from the teen's cell phone. Prosecutors say they were sent by the convicted felon charged Friday in the slaying.

Officials who announced first-degree murder and burglary charges against John Wilson Jr., 38, refused to detail the text messages sent to the mother of Kelli O'Laughlin, who authorities say was killed after coming home from school and interrupting a burglary. But they talked about being parents themselves and struggled to explain the cruelty.

"Even the most experienced investigators and prosecutors have been brought to tears by the very facts of this case and the chilling nature of this case," Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said moments after a judge ordered Wilson held without bond.

"A horrific crime was committed (and) then to have the mother of the victim being subjected to taunts from the person who did this, words cannot describe that," Sheriff Tom Dart said.

Nearby, in the small, wooded town about 15 miles southwest of Chicago where the girl lived, hundreds of trees were adorned with white ribbons in her memory as residents lined a major street holding hands. When they went home, some said they checked all their windows and doors to make sure they were locked.

"People are very concerned, they're scared," Bob Mikes, who has lived in Indian Head Park for 63 of his 86 years, said as he worked in his yard about three blocks from the O'Laughlin home.

Authorities say Wilson sneaked up to the back of the family's house on Oct. 27, put a rock inside a knit cap and used the rock to break a dining room window. When the teen came home from school while he was still inside, Alvarez said, Wilson grabbed a carving knife and stabbed her repeatedly before dragging her body from the family room into the kitchen.

After visiting a nearby convenience store, where he talked to a police officer responding to an unrelated disturbance call, Wilson took a cab to a train station at Chicago's Midway airport and paid his fair with foreign coins similar to ones stolen from the O'Laughlin house, authorities said.

Alvarez said an analysis of the knit cap by the state's crime lab revealed the DNA on the cap matched that of Wilson. Six days later, Wilson was arrested on Chicago's South Side.

Wilson was carrying a cell phone, Alvarez said. He was not carrying the girl's cell phone, but Alvarez said the Secret Service tracked the movements of his cell phone. She said agents determined that while they were tracking what authorities suspect were Wilson's movements, the two phones "traveled in tandem" throughout Chicago.

Alvarez also said three witnesses have identified Wilson from a lineup as the man they saw in the area of the house between 2:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., about 10 minutes before Kelli came home from school.

Alvarez and Dart said there was no indication the girl knew her attacker or that Wilson had any connection with the family. But they would not discuss if Wilson allegedly selected the house, which is bordered on one side by a small park, at random.

Wilson did not make any comments to investigators after he was arrested, Alvarez said. An attorney at the county's public defender's office who represented Wilson at Friday's hearing did not immediately return a call for comment.

Wilson was paroled from an Illinois prison last November after serving 7 1/2 years of an 11-year sentence for robbery. Illinois Department of Corrections records also show he had served prison time on earlier convictions for aggravated battery, auto theft and drug possession.

Ruthie Dantzler, Wilson's grandmother, said the grandson she raised had gotten into legal trouble since he was a boy.

"He goes to jail, he stays, he comes out and goes to jail," said Dantzler, with whom Wilson had been living since he was released from prison last November.

Judge OKs new Ohio death penalty rules, denies appeal (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? A federal judge backed new death penalty practices on Friday enacted in Ohio in response to concerns over inconsistent practices earlier this year, clearing the way for the execution of a man convicted of killing his sons.

Reginald Brooks, 66, had sought to stop his execution set for November 15, challenging Ohio death penalty practices after U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost indefinitely stayed another inmate's execution in July, ruling that Ohio's execution rules were enforced inconsistently.

The judge had complained the state was paying only "lip service" to its own standards, and expressed concerns on following formal procedures for preparing the drugs used in lethal injections, documenting the process and following checks and balances to reduce human errors.

Ohio has not executed anyone since Frost stayed the execution of Kenneth Smith in July, instead issuing revised practices in September that it said addressed the concerns.

Since the judge's ruling, Ohio Governor John Kasich has granted stays of execution in August and September citing the ruling. He also commuted the sentence of another death row inmate to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

"With some caution, the court today reaches the conclusion that the state of Ohio has apparently learned the lessons of its prior embarrassments and corrected its course," Frost wrote in a 24-page opinion.

Brooks, who was denied clemency by the Ohio Parole Board last month, was convicted of killing his three sons, aged 11 to 17, in 1982. His wife had served him with divorce papers two days before the killings.

Brooks had pleaded that Ohio had made only cosmetic changes and that its death penalty practices were little changed over the last few months and may have worsened.

Ohio said, in effect, that it was now following its own rules and the U.S. Constitution, Frost said.

"It does not matter to this court whether Ohio has acted motivated by admirable intent or whether it has been begrudgingly dragged toward respectability," Frost wrote, adding that the court remained wary because of the state's past struggles with consistent application of the rules.

A joint state Supreme Court and bar association task force was planned to review Ohio's administration of the death penalty, but will not address whether the state should or should not have capital punishment.

Ohio has executed four men in 2011, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

Tower Heist

Alda?s Shaw owns the penthouse apartment in a hyperexclusive Manhattan building called ?The Tower? (played, at least in some exterior shots, by Trump Tower). It?s clear to the audience from the first shot?Shaw does laps in his own private rooftop swimming pool, painted to look like a $100 bill?that this man is a contemptible snake, but to the staff at the Tower, headed up by general manager Josh Kovacs (Ben Stiller), Shaw has always been a favorite resident: friendly, generous, and relatively undemanding. When Shaw is arrested on charges of securities fraud, Josh?s first instinct is to believe in his claims of innocence, even to defend him to the Tower staff. But when Josh learns that Shaw has gambled away the employees? retirement fund in a Ponzi scheme, he commits an unwise act that gets him fired from the Tower, along with his concierge brother-in-law (Casey Affleck) and an affable but dimwitted elevator operator (Michael Pe?a). Together with a laid-off Wall Streeter who?s been evicted from the building (Matthew Broderick), they scheme to steal Shaw?s secret $20 million stash, which, according to the FBI agent assigned to the case (T?a Leoni), may be somewhere inside his apartment.

(Boston) - Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researcher Robert Lafyatis, MD, recently was awarded two grants from the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. A 5-year, $8 million Centers of Research Translation (CORT) (P50) grant as well as a 5-year $3.3 million (P30) grant. Funding from both grants will be used to study systemic sclerosis (SSc) also known as scleroderma, a rare and complex rheumatic disease involving widespread scarring and vascular disease within multiple organ systems.

SSc remains one of the most difficult rheumatic diseases to manage, with limited effective therapies. These projects were designed to coordinate multiple scientists and clinicians to accelerate the understanding of the disease process through interactive patient-oriented studies into markers of disease activity, investigation of pathogenesis and trials of novel therapeutics.

The P50 grant will fund clinical research, identifying new paradigms for early phase clinical trials and molecular research into scleroderma pathogenesis at BUSM and Dartmouth Medical School (DMS). The P30 will allow the researchers at four sites: BUSM, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and DMS, to set up core services for scleroderma research, with the ultimate goal being a national resource for investigators studying scleroderma across the country.

One of the greatest impediments to finding new treatments is the heterogeneity of patient presentation and disease progression. Clinical markers are unable to predict onset and/or progression of the major complications, such as progressive fibrotic skin disease, pulmonary arterial hypertension and interstitial lung disease, each seen in a minority of SSc patients.

According to the researchers, identification of biomarkers permitting early recognition of these complications would potentially permit more targeted therapies, but also provide "at risk" populations for enrolling in therapeutic trials.

"Empowered by a very large SSc clinical population, we propose careful clinical evaluations, coupled with robust molecular approaches to identify skin, serum and peripheral blood mononuclear cell disease biomarkers," explained principal investigator Lafyatis, who also is a professor of medicine at BUSM.

Former GOP Rep. Ray LaHood bashes ???do nothing??? Republicans in Congress (Daily Caller)

Former Republican Congressman Ray Lahood, currently Secretary of Transportation ? and the only Republican in the Obama administration, bashed members of his party in an interview given to Eleanor Clift of The Daily Beast.

Lahood said that the freshmen class of ?tea party? congressmen prioritizes defeating President Obama over creating jobs. ?The crowd that was elected the last time not only came here to do nothing, they also came to put down the president,? he said.

?And the way to put him down is not to give him any kind of opportunity to be successful,? LaHood said. ?Republicans made a decision right after the election ? don?t give Obama any victories. The heck with putting people to work, because we can score points.?

LaHood was first elected to Congress in 1994 as a member of the most significant Republican wave preceding the 2010 election.

The class of ?94, Lahood said, ?didn?t come here to do nothing. They came here to vote on things, to make change for the positive? That?s not the fact with this crowd.?

LaHood served as a congressman from 1995 to 2009. His congressional district is currently represented by Republican Rep. Aaron Schock.

Perry to attend at least 5 more debates (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Rick Perry plans to participate in at least five more presidential primary debates, his campaign said Saturday, dismissing speculation that the Texas governor's lackluster performances so far would lead him to skip future Republican debates.

Perry, who has struggled through parts of his first five debates, will attend all of the events currently scheduled in November as well as a December debate, his spokesman, Ray Sullivan, told The Associated Press.

The decision comes after questions over whether Perry would bypass some debates to concentrate on other types of campaigning. He has always conceded he is not a strong debater, and has often avoided the sparring matches in his past campaigns.

But he's not giving up.

"Shoot, I may get to be a good debater before this is all over," Perry joked during a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Friday.

Perry had already committed to a Nov. 9 debate in Michigan. Added to the calendar are debates in South Carolina on Nov. 12; Washington, D.C., on Nov. 15; and Arizona on Dec. 1. He'll also attend an Iowa forum hosted by The Family Leader, a socially conservative group, on Nov. 19.

Sullivan said the campaign will make decisions about future debates on a case-by-case basis.

Perry rival Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, hasn't committed to any debates beyond the Nov. 9 event in Michigan. Romney's campaign didn't immediately say whether he, too, would commit to further debates.
