Unlike its predecessors, the new site is accessible through mobile devices. . Developed in collaboration with the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives and the Government Printing Office, the site eventually will replace the public Thomas database -- which launched in 1995 -- and congressional Legislative Information System (LIS). Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee and Joint Committee on the Library, said the new site will "allow people at all levels of experience and expertise to follow legislative developments, access and compare policy proposals, and connect with their senators and representatives." Congress.gov will operate in beta mode for about a year, with Thomas and LIS continuing to operate as usual until its official public launch. http://beta.congress.gov http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/9/prweb9921399.htm _____________________________________________ o Report: 70% of Adults Report Eye Strain While Using Digital Devices Alexandria, Va. -- Nearly 70% of U.S. adults experience some form of eye strain while using digital devices like smartphones and tablets, according to a new report from The Vision Council. The organization said symptoms, brought on by spending too much time in front of electronics without allowing eyes to rest, include redness or irritation, dry eyes, blurred vision, eye fatigue, back, neck and shoulder pain, and headaches. The small screens of handheld devices, in addition to blue light illumination and low-resolution content, also can irritate and fatigue eyes. "Digital device use can exacerbate discomfort in people with existing problems like latent eye muscle imbalance, astigmatism, farsightedness and presbyopia," said Justin Bazan, member of the Better Vision Institute. "The corrective eyewear prescribed for these issues is not intended for mid-distance range and can actually add to discomfort if used at a computer." Eye care experts recommend purchasing a separate pair of eyeglasses to be worn while using digital devices. http://www.thevisioncouncil.org http://www.sacbee.com/2012/09/20/4837923/two-thirds-of-us-adults-report.html _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Mid-Atlantic Marketing Summit – Oct. 18, 2012 Mid-Atlantic Marketing Summit - Intelligence & Insights on the Future of Communications.
