Please Donate Now to Help Find the Cure for Parkinson's Disease!

Hi! My name is Nicole Jarvis Zimmerer, and I am a 39 year old ObGyn physician, wife, mother of 5 year old identical twin boys, and a patient with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease.  As a doctor, I am passionate about finding cures for all diseases, and improving the quality of life for all patients suffering from chronic illness.  As a YOPD patient, I am passionate about making my own contribution to finding the cure for the disease that affects me every day.  In the state of Oklahoma, there are approximately 15,000 patients with Parkinson's Disease, and until 2012 there were NO fundraising events in the state designated to raise money to find a cure for PD.  So, in December 2012, I hosted Oklahoma's first Team Fox event - a Winter Gala with silent and live auctions, seated dinner, and guest speakers such as OU Women's Basketball Coach Sherri Coale! It was a huge success - we raised over $115,000!!!

Now, we are in the early planning and fundraising stages for our 2nd Annual Winter Gala! More detailed information about this year's Gala will be posted soon, so stay tuned!

We are saddened by the events of the May 20 tornado that cut a path of destruction through Moore, South Oklahoma City and eastern Oklahoma. Our hearts grieve at the lives lost and the property damages done to homes and businesses.  In the aftermath of this destructive tornado, Oklahoma Web Design wants to give back to the community and provide lasting relief to the efforts by the first responders and the volunteers that are working hard to help rebuild Moore and Oklahoma City.

For every new web design project, we will donate $200 to the American Red Cross, through June  30^th,  2013. As we rebuild Moore and Oklahoma City, we will band together and do what Oklahomans do best – support each other in the aftermath of tragedy.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of the tornado.  The money donated to the American Red Cross will go toward the efforts to help Oklahoma recover.

A stolen identity is a powerful cloak of anonymity for criminals, enabling them to use methods that can affect not only individuals, but every sector of business, government, and education.

Some important everyday habits can help protect your identity:

• Shred Documents – shred statements and applications that you receive in the mail that you don’t want to keep, including insurance forms, statements, credit card applications, health forms, as well as utilities, phone service, etc.
• Backup your computer data – store data in a secure location off-site.
• Password security – create complex passwords for your accounts, and do not use the same password repeatedly, create unique passwords for individual accounts.
• Secure personal documents – paper documents should be secured in a safe, or secure location, including securing passports, tax documents, etc.
• Don’t store passwords on your computer hard drive.
• Monitor your bank and credit card information – identity theft within online accounts typically occurs with small transactions.
• Minimize personal information that is printed on checks – You do not need to include information such as social security number, drivers license number…
• Cut up expired credit cards - make sure to cut through the numbers of the cards, and make an effort to dispose of the remnants in various trashcans, which would mean that the card could not be pieced back together.
• Keep your computer browser and software up to date – set a high security level within your browser, as well as making sure that patches and updates are constantly monitored to make sure they are current.
• Antivirus / Malware Scans – it is always a good idea to set your antivirus and malwalware software to automatically scan your computer. As well, make sure your software is up to date.
• Be Wise Online – be suspicious of any emails that prompt you to ‘verify’ your information online, if you are  unsure about an email or online document, do some research and become educated on how to spot online scams.
• Social Media Common Sense – when using Facebook, Twitter, or any social media, use common sense in any online postings, and be aware that you are posting information to the ‘world’. Know, that just because people want to be ‘your friend’ online, doesn’t mean that the person has good intentions.
• Check your credit report at least once a year with a reputable credit reporting company.
• If your ID or credit cards are lost or stolen, notify credit providers immediately by phone, then request a “Fraud Alert” on your account, which enables the creditors to follow certain procedures before they can open new accounts in your name, or make changes to existing accounts.

Its always good to be suspicious of any alerts that prompt for online payment, do some online research on another computer to find a fix, or call a reputable local computer tech company for consulting on the issue. Assume any email or online notice from the government is a scam, especially if it doesn’t include your name in the notice.

New features include:

• Ability to search for destination by typing or speaking.
• You can tell the app if you are driving, walking or taking mass transit.
• Google Maps provides new spoken turn-by-turn directions.
• Quickly view layers such as street view, public transit to satellite.

Google Maps was dismissed from the App Store after iOS6 debuted in September of 2012. Apple decided to replace it with its own Maps app as the default navigation system for its iOS, but Apple’s version was not as highly accepted because of a series of flaws in the software.
