Users can click on one of two tabs on the right side of the widget to access The Scoop, which extends the width of the widget and shows information on ever-changing topics such as birthstones, and My Stuff, which enables users to change the appearance of the widget and provides a calendar in which users can enter reminders for gift-giving events like birthdays and anniversaries.

The Real Reformer
We started during the Clinton administration to transition the VA system to a paperless system. . . . The VA is leading the way in reducing medical errors, improving patient safety, and delivering high quality care; now this is a lesson about what can be done when we have a plan. A plan that is evidence-based, a plan that uses what we know works, and a system that we can actually get to respond to that evidence-based planning. In fact, as a government audit discovered, the VA's paperless system has created a huge bottleneck, losing track of 53,000 veterans. Last year, Obama introduced legislation requiring the VA to treat each returning vet in 30 days. Yet, the VA already had such a requirement, and, according to internal VA audits, 25 percent of all vets wait more than 30 days for their first exam.
