HIPAA Update: Are You Ready?
It had long been assumed that many medical practices (including podiatric practitioners) were lagging behind in complying with then-forthcoming HIPAA regulations. The actual figures released after the recent October deadline confirm those assumptions. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) indicate about 550,000 health care organizations filed for a one-year extension to delay HIPAA compliance. "It had previously been estimated that there were more than 2 million physician practices and other clinical Level 1 entity groups impacted by the law," according to Dr. David Marcinko, MBA, CFP. "A dismal response to the first major milestone in implementation of electronic transmission standards shows how unprepared many physicians and covered entities are for meeting HIPAA requirements," continues Dr. Marcinko, CEO of Marcinko Advisors and Associates, partners in the referral exchange and educational portal Medical Business Advisors. "There was such a low turnout (that) everyone's wondering whether those (other doctors) think they're compliant or are they still so confused that they don't know what to do," says Raymond Posa, founder of R. Francis Associates, a Belmar, N.J.-based medical consultancy. "Everybody's taking a wait and see attitude. Part of the problem is that, because this was phased in over time, in pieces, practices might think, 'I don't have to comply. The whole thing's not in effect yet.' And they're wrong." The fate of those who did not file is still unclear. "CMS is prohibited by law from accepting any more requests for extensions and has even removed the extension application from its Web site," notes Dr. Marcinko. "In theory, physicians who did not file for an extension were required to be in compliance with the new standards after Oct. 16, 2002." Paying The Cost Of Compliance The cost of complying with HIPAA regulations is often cited as a primary reason why many practices have been so reluctant to move forward. "Working with physicians, and in the health care industry as a whole, I've found they typically don't like to spend money on things like this," says Kevin Beaver, founder and President of Principle Logic, LLC, a security consultancy. "As a result, they are usually a good bit behind the technology curve." "HIPPA will be so much more costly than realized," maintains Dr. Marcinko. "Of course, the full cost of this regulation is unknown, but according to several of our private strategic alliance partners, it is expected to exceed the cost of Y2K compliance by fourfold, in the aggregate. This breaks down to about $15,000 to $20,000 the first year, or considerably more than the $1,500 to $3,700 cited by (the Department of Health and Human Services) for each 'doctor of medicine.'" Marcinko considers this cost to be more than a little ironic, considering the initial goals associated with HIPAA. "One of the primary goals of HIPAA is to reduce the 17 percent administrative cost of healthcare through the standardization of electronic transactions into a single format," he notes. "The primary goal of HIPAA is not necessarily security, although it certainly is an objective. Not very facetiously, since more than 50 percent of DPM Medicare reimbursement is for toenail debridement, one might conclude that all these security measures are a bit much for the delivered service." A Brief History On The Origins Of HIPAA With so much controversy swirling around compliance, some might have forgotten how and why HIPAA regulations came about. Initially, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 gave Congress until August 1999 to pass comprehensive health privacy legislation. When no such law was passed in the allotted time frame, HIPAA provided the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with the authority to draft such rules, in conjunction with recommendations submitted to Congress by the Clinton administration in 1997. "The HIPAA concept is not new, although the act itself became law in 1996," notes Dr. Marcinko. "The Federal government and HCFA have planned a shift to electronic data interchange (EDI) for more than a decade. How ironic that it is also known as the Healthcare Administration Simplification Act?" Indeed, administrative simplification was one of the primary goals of the legislation, along with insurance portability and fraud enforcement. There are four specific areas covered in the legislation: • privacy of patient health information must be assured; • electronic transactions and code sets must be standardized; • standard unique employer identifiers must be used in connection with certain electronic transactions; and • security of electronic health information must be assured. Compliance is required of four "covered entities," as defined by HHS: healthcare providers (hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, etc.); health plans (including HMOs, PPOs, Medicare and Medicaid); health care clearinghouses; and "business associates" (a group that includes lawyers, consultants, auditors and others who perform activities involving health care information). Compliance deadlines were set (see "Timeframes For HIPAA Compliance" below) and the HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR) was given the responsibility of enforcing the regulations. Meeting The Challenges Or Ignoring Them There were many challenges for all involved parties—regulators and those being regulated. Communication of the policy was an initial concern and some would argue it still is. "I'm still meeting people, to this day, who have not heard of HIPAA," says Beaver. "Maybe HHS and OCR aren't getting the word out. If the doctors are reading any sort of magazine or papers, they've got to be hearing about this stuff. It's going to take somebody getting caught or something bad happening before people will start taking compliance seriously." The sheer enormity of the undertaking has likely contributed to the low level of initial compliance. "I think they're just so overwhelmed by the volume of it," offers Posa. "The actual text is over 82,000 pages." Beaver agrees. "They see this as an 800-pound gorilla being forced down upon them. They think HIPAA is this huge monstrosity that they won't be able to handle. Especially (when it comes to) the smaller practices that have limited or no staff to deal with this, they think, 'What are we going to do? We can't handle this.'" Be Wary Of Shortcuts That Sound Too Good To Be True Smaller practices received some relief in late 2001 when President Bush signed the Administrative Simplification Compliance Act, which among other things, exempts practitioners with fewer than 10 full-time employees (designated "small providers of services or suppliers") from HIPAA compliance. However, this relief may only be a mirage. "For mom and pop practices, or solo providers, there will be no real practical relief from HIPPA regulations," says Dr. Marcinko. "For example, how will a solo doctor communicate with covered entities, such as the hospitals, ASCs, WCCs, podiatrists and other physicians who do comply? And will the compliant entity desire to interface with the non-compliant one? How will the non-compliant entity appear to them and their patients when a patient brings in a stack of paper records upon referral and the covered entity seeks to e-mail them? "There will be a strong sense of 'moral persuasion' for non-covered entities to comply," he continues. "And, except for practitioners literally about to retire, EDI is the future. The dissenting dinosaurs will not survive." The remaining non-dinosaurs that are compliant face a different environment and, potentially, a different set of protocols when dealing with patients. "The whole concept of HIPAA, as I understand it, is all about an attitude," says Barry Mullen, DPM, who practices in Hackettstown, N.J. "You then have a policy and protocol that you put in place to back that up. A lot of people have been HIPAA-compliant of a kind for years. For them, it's a matter of tweaking some things in order to be fully compliant with the regulations as they're defined now." "One of the interesting things I'm seeing is that people will tell me they're HIPAA-compliant because their practice management vendor says their software is compliant," notes Beaver. "That is a huge misconception. HIPAA compliance does not come in a box. "We're talking about serious change," he continues. "Doctors are going to have to change the way they do business. I think a lot of people are seeing this as a technology issue. Granted, that's part of it, but HIPAA is not solely about technology. It's about privacy and security and it ties more into business processes, the management of businesses, how they do business." Will 'HIPAA Police' Check On Your Compliance Efforts? This doesn't mean the "HIPAA Police" will be knocking down your door if you are not compliant. "If there is such a thing as 'HIPAA Police,'" says Beaver, "they'll be understaffed and have a massive lack of resources, just like any other law enforcement entity. I seriously doubt they'll come knocking on doors, at least in the beginning, doing random audits. It will likely take something bad happening—a customer complaining, a partner complaining about a specific practice not adhering or an insurance organization complaining." "HIPAA is not punitive in nature," observes Dr. Marcinko. "The agency has said it will take a complaint-driven approach to enforcing the transmission standards. Even when a complaint is filed, CMS seeks to 'bring into the fold' rather than make use of the noncompliance penalties included in the law." Still, there are consequences for non-compliance. Civil penalties may reach up to $100 per violation, with a $25,000 per annum cap. Criminal penalties include fines reaching $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 10 years. While punishment might widely vary, one thing is for certain—HIPAA will be enforced. Dr. Marcinko offers an example of such enforcement. "All a compliance-checking entity might do is automatically send an e-mail to covered entities, requesting a sample secure e-transmission of medical records or billing statements or operative reports, office notes, a digital certification of authenticity or a registration number of the provider entity," points out Dr. Marcinko. "Instantaneously, the requesting agency will know if the entity is compliant. This is virtually a cost-free, frictionless policing mechanism for CMS, in particular, to determine compliance." What To Do If You're Not Compliant Since the odds are good that your practice is not among those that either immediately complied with HIPAA regulations or filed for an extension, you might heed the following suggestions on getting compliant or at least start the compliance process. • Get a privacy officer in place. The first thing a practice should do when achieving HIPAA compliance is to put someone in charge of the effort. "Delegate a HIPAA privacy officer right away," says Beaver. "Someone in the organization needs to be responsible for either doing this themselves or for outsourcing it. Either way, there's got to be a point of contact in the organization, someone with decision-making power. Otherwise, it won't get done." While a DPM could conceivably fill the position, it is often better to select an office manager to lead the way. "Office managers likely have more access to information than the doctor does," explains Posa. "They're responsible for day-to-day operations of the practice. The doctor can't just, off the cuff, point to someone and say, 'Okay, you're the HIPAA compliance officer—take care of it.' They must embrace it wholeheartedly and support this person, because it is such a major undertaking in the beginning. It will taper off, but there will always be some effort and maintenance required to keep it up and running. A halfhearted effort will come back and bite you in the end." Perform Self-Checks And Consider Outside Audits • Conduct analyses. Another step is for you and your compliance officer to sit down and do your homework, both within the practice and outside it. "Read and learn all about the new regulations and begin to budget for their compliance and execution," says Dr. Marcinko. "Then perform an office risk assessment for the following general areas: office computers, MIS, IT and network security measures; office physical security and e-security, firewalls and intrusion detection for computers and networks; backups and disaster IT plans; employee awareness, skill levels and workloads; and attitudes about security and HIPAA policy adherence." Dr. Marcinko says your assessment results may dictate the need for an outside audit for more specific areas such as access control, tracking, authorization, data authentication, entity authentication and EDI communication over open networks. Emphasize Training And Documentation • Train and document. Your compliance efforts will fall apart if your office staff is not on board with your mission. "Doctors and practice managers also need to remember to train their people, not only before regulations take effect, but on an ongoing basis as well," notes Beaver. Documentation of compliance efforts is clearly essential. "Anything you're doing with relation to transactions, privacy or security has got to be on paper, to say 'This is how we do it here,'" maintains Beaver. "That documentation has to be maintained. The policies and procedures will eventually change because business processes are going to change, technology is going to change (and) the threats and vulnerabilities and such are going to change." Monitor The Pulse Of Your Compliance Efforts • Keep up with things. Maintaining the focus of your staff on privacy and security is and will be an ongoing concern, a fact some doctors and office managers are not ready to hear or deal with. "A lot of people think they'll be able to put the policies and procedures in place, achieve compliance, and that will be that—they won't have to revisit or revise anything," claims Beaver. "That's not the case. They're going to have to manage this on an ongoing basis. HIPAA is not like Y2K. It won't come and go." Often, keeping up with compliance-related responsibilities is a simple matter of using common sense and, on occasion, looking at your practice through the eyes of your patients. "I try to walk into my own office and see all the different aspects of the practice from the patient's perspective," says Dr. Mullen, "to see where I, as a patient, would feel violated, or where some aspect of my personal medical information is being violated. We make our changes to policy based upon how we feel when we go through our own office, and inspect our own plan." Indeed, some of the more mundane things in the office can cause the most privacy problems. "We look at the location of fax machines and copiers, the orientation of computer screens, the security of phone lines and where conversations take place—particularly in the waiting area," points out Dr. Mullen. "We make sure there's no exchange or discussion of private medical information within earshot of the waiting room or anywhere there are patients. Once people leave the office, we try to create the mindset in which they're careful about what they say." "You don't necessarily need to erect walls or gates to protect your patient information," concurs Posa. "A little common sense will go a long way toward addressing those issues."

Top-ranked recipe named "Spicy Red Lentil Dal"
Wonderful flavor. I added a whole can of coconut milk instead of just 1/2 cup, it still came out perfect.
"Very tasty! I made this quickly and easily, and it had a unique flavor and a nice heat. I didn't need to increase the amount of coconut milk, as some previous reviewers did."
Bring broth and lentils to a boil in pot over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until lentils are tender. Cover, and remove from heat.
Heat oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and red pepper flakes; saute 5 minutes. Add cumin, turmeric and coriander; cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add tomato paste, and cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add coconut milk and lentils, and cook 3 minutes more.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in lime juice. Serve over rice.

Re: Shore Leave
Sadly, Constellation closed a few months back but the con organizers assure me the replacement retailer has all the ISBNs for the authors' current works and should arrive well stocked. Just about every author comes with books of their own to sell in addition to related items (for example, Peter David brings comic book scripts). The Crazy 8 Press authors will be on hand with several titles debuting, as well.
Personally, my policy is not to compete with the bookseller and I only bring out-of-print titles for people to buy since there's always someone who hasn't read our older works. Those and my C8 titles.
The authors in attendance will happily sign anything you stick in front of them regardless of how you obtained it.

Barcelona, Spain: Using an ultrasound-guided fine needle to biopsy lymph nodes could spare thousands of melanoma patients every year worldwide from having to undergo unnecessary and sometimes unpleasant surgery to verify whether their cancer has spread, new research indicates.
In a study presented today (Wednesday) at the European Cancer Conference (ECCO 14) in Barcelona, scientists found that the less invasive technique produced a false positive rate of only one percent, so that 99 percent of patients with healthy lymph nodes were correctly classified.
The study, the largest of its kind to date, tested the accuracy of the new technique in 590 patients with recently diagnosed melanoma who underwent an ultrasound of the lymph node region near their tumours before having the sentinel lymph node cut out for examination. If the ultrasound confirmed cancer or looked suspicious, patients also underwent the fine needle aspiration biopsy before the sentinel node surgery. Survival was tracked for an average of 28 months.
The fine needle aspiration detected tumour cells in the lymph node of half of the patients who were later shown to have node-positive disease through the surgical sentinel node biopsy procedure. In nearly all the cases that it missed, the tumour deposit in the sentinel node was very small and those patients seem to have an excellent prognosis their survival seems similar to that seen in patients with no spread to the lymph nodes, said the studys leader, Dr Christiane Voit, a dermatologist and head of the diagnostic unit at the Skin Cancer Center at Charit Universittsmedizin Berlin, the Medical University of Berlin, Germany. This study shows that the technique is highly accurate and we are recommending that it should now be performed routinely before automatically performing sentinel lymph node biopsies, as a way to reduce the need for unnecessary sentinel node operations.

I've found a domain name I want to acquire from its current owner, and it looks like I may be able to do so. The IP address at which the domain resides is listed in a spam blacklist database. If I acquire the name and give it a new IP address, I assume that particular problem goes away. What's the best place, though, to check and see if the domain name itself is widely considered to be a spam source? Should I consider the IP listing to sully the domain -- am I buying a potential Superfund site? [more inside]

Isn't there any way to permanently block delivery of unaddressed junk (USPS) mail? The post office insists on cramming increasingly thick stacks of "Occupant", "Resident", etc mail into the box every day and it's become ridiculous. [more inside]
five-digit spam
Does anybody have any idea what's going on with this kind of comment spam? I'm getting scads of it, with no URLs but always a mention of a five-figure number. "I've managed to save up roughly $55085 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?"
How can I get spammers to stop using an email address?
This might sound like a stupid question, but I have heard of techniques that advanced users might use to foul up the spammers method of harvesting email addresses. It involves creating web pages and using bait or something, but I'm not sure how it works. And I can't concoct a google search that gets me the advice I am looking for. So webmins, how do you create a network of webpages that will have spammers getting so fed up with a specific email address that they will drop it from their list?

mac email spam outburst
A sudden increase in spam making it past my email client's filters. I'm on a Mac using "Mail" for my email program. Up until three days ago, my junk filter caught all but a couple of spam emails. Now, for some reason, about ten times more spam emails seem to be making it past my filters. Any ideas why this is or how I can get back to a better signal-to-noise ratio?

A different type of keyword spamming
I have been noticing more and more websites using Google to index their restricted content. For example, this search (top item) brings up what is supposedly a full 30 KB paper, but visiting the link we get a different page that goes to a login. Even the cache carries the false page. Are these websites abusing Google, or is Google permitting it and why? Why doesn't this stuff belong under the ads?
New Gmail Spam & Pop-ups

Buried Under Spam
My co-blogger and I upgraded from Movable Type 2.64 to MT 3.2, mostly for the rumored spam-fighting hottness. But now we're finding ourselves having to go through and manually junk thousands of spam comments every day, tediously picking out the real stuff. We've got the latest MT-Blacklist installed, but it doesn't seem to be doing a thing, and seems to have less functionality (where'd the de-spam option go??) than our old MT-Blacklist plugin. We're getting buried, and nothing seems to be working the way it should. What do we do? [more inside]
False positive spam problem with hotmail
Despite plenty of googling, and even email with Microsoft's support - I cannot seem to solve my problem. I'm wondering if perhaps any of my fellow geeks have had this problem: I run a web/email server of my own, colocated in a highly reputable facility. For some reason, Hotmail views any email coming from my box as spam, and tosses it in a junk folder. I've done all the checks to make sure I don't have an open spam relay problem, etc. I've checked all the blacklists I can think of -- I'm not on any of them. [more inside]

Open source e-mail scalability
I am responsible for setting up and maintaining a mail server for small web-hosting type business. We currently host about 75 domains, around 100 mailboxes and due to the efforts of our sales team, we are wanting to get ready for some great increases in those numbers. I am worried about my current configuration and ease of administration. More importantly (well, at least to the customers) is email deliverability -- it seems that messages delivered to some big players are being marked as SPAM or disappearing altogether. I am asking for insight and advice on 1) if my current choice of software/configuration is a good match for this situation and 2) if there any additional measures I might take to ensure email deliverability?

How long does (actual, canned) spam really last?
I found a can of spam in the trunk of my car which, I think, was purchased in 1996. I wondered: Is it still safe to eat? Me-Fites: How old was the oldest can of spam you ever ate? Is it true that spam's shelf life is "indefinite?". Is it a good idea to keep cans of spam in my car/boat/cabin for emergencies (I'm stranded in a blizzard and need meat, etc)? If so, should I worry that extended bouts exposed to high temperatures (100+ degrees F) in my car trunk will reduce the shelf life of these cans of spam?

spam filter for outlook POP
I'm using Outlook 2000 and the built-in"keyword" spam filtering is a joke. ("viagra" is on my list, and a search of my inbox finds 29 emails with that word, even after running the rule manually.) What are people using on the client side to filter spam with Outlook (using POP, not Exchange)? No challenge/response, please, as this is used for business. The free-er the better.

In the "links from external pages" section of my blog's statistics, I'm getting hits from a lot of different poker websites. They don't seem to actually be linking to me, though. Is this some sort of strange spam thing? What is going on?
Are you getting a lot of stock-related spam on Gmail lately?
In the last couple of weeks Gmail's normally-astute spam filtering has totally given up the ghost in one specific area: stock spam. It seems like every single stock spam slips past the filter and ends up in my inbox. At the moment every other time I get a new email it comes with a subject like "Leading auth0rity On l0w priced st0cks". Anyone else having the same issue? Has Gmail's spam filter started to show cracks?
What if I get spam from myself?
Both at work and at home, I occasionally get spam where the return address is my own. I'm guessing spammers mine for valid email addies to make their messages appear more legit, but it still kind of bothers me that spam is going out under my name. Should I be worried about this, or is it just a case of harmless techno-stress? Is there a fairly simple way of preventing this?
What are gibberish spam comments for?
Recently my blog has been getting comments consisting of gibberish linking to gibberish URLs. Unlike normal spam, they cannot be removed en masse via MT-Blacklist and have to be pried out one by one, and there's no way of preventing more of them without moving to pre-authorized comments (which this may force me to do). My question: cui bono? Who's getting something out of this? [more inside]

The researchers stressed that they do not advocate early sexual activity, warning that it can lead to depression and negatively affect school performance, among other things. But if our goal is to reduce sexual risk-taking, we need to be focusing on something else," Bornovalova said, adding that it will take more study to determine just what that should be.
Whatever is causing sexual risk-taking, it is not early sexual initiation," she said.

The following characteristics of the PSVita crashes and error (Can not be switched from the status IDLE / Sleep state, although the battery remaining half over):
Playstation logo visible on solid blue.
When pressing the POWER ON, PSVITA not be lit and even no response at all even though the button is pressed on repeatedly or held for several seconds.
Usually if a problem has occurred error / hang like this, of course, hard-reset action is necessary to re-ignite and re-boot the system PSvita.
But the challenge to disassemble PSVITA by removing the battery to do a hardreset is a bad idea, because you can do hard-reset PSVita without having to dismantle and remove the battery of this handheld console.
Here are the steps to do hard-reset on PSVITA:
1. First plug the USB power charger on PSVita
2. Once the USB power charger plugged in, the color of the previous playstation logo in blue color changed to purple. Then wait for 10 seconds before continuing the next step towards improving.
3. Hold down the Power ON button + L + R buttons simultaneously for 20 ~ 30 seconds.
4. After holding down the Power ON button + L + R Buttons for 20 ~ 30 seconds, the playstation logo was changed to the color purple orange yellow. This marks his PSVITA has been successfully hard-reset.
5. Press the Power ON button again and will return to BOOT PSVita Operating System.
6.Finally PSVita can return to work with ready times.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 2.5 million women in the United States are breast cancer survivors; many chose surgery to remove the cancer. Currently, surgical techniques to spare skin and the nipple are growing rapidly due to patients seeking better aesthetic outcomes. As these breast cancer surgery options advance and incisions become smaller, Invuity's illuminated breast retractor system helps surgeons perform these procedures by enabling superior visualization of tissue planes and delicate structures.
Invuity's illuminated breast retractor system integrates the company's proprietary Eigr technology into an optimized retractor, delivering brilliant illumination even in small, deep incisions and enabling improved visualization of the breast flap and delicate anatomic structures. The system includes a family of retractors designed for various breast surgical approaches, including reconstructive surgeries.
Additional surgeon faculty included Stephen DeSantis , MD, a leading surgeon at the Saddleback Valley Surgery Medical Group in Mission Viejo, CA, who gave an overview of the Invuity Retractor System and how it has become a "must have" visualization device for all of his mastectomies and lumpectomies; and Tommaso Addona , MD, a Partner at Long Island Plastic Surgical Group, who spoke about breast reconstruction by plastic surgeons and patient selection for the nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomy procedures.
"It is critical that breast surgeons and plastic surgeons continue to share best practices and the latest advances in surgical treatment and reconstruction options," said Dr. Addona. "Invuity's Eigr technology has allowed surgeons in both specialties the ability

Lovely set made by the awesome Arxia!Thanks so much girl!♥♥♥
IMO they all look bad. First off "Blingee" Never makes anything look good. Thats so 7 years ago.
Secondly the quality is poor on the images anyways. And the 2nd and 4th one I'd never want as a signature. Too much moving/flashing someone might get a seizure .__.

Robin Antin and the Pussycat Dolls are expanding their empire -- and Kim Kardashian is getting in on the deal.
TooFab has learned that Antin, who co-created the Dolls back in 1995, has teamed up with Kim Kardashian's production company to produce a reality show based on the growth of the PCD franchise -- which already includes a recording group, workout videos, a Hollywood revue and the Pussycat Doll Lounge in Las Vegas.
Sources close to the production tell us the show will also revolve around the creation of a NEW Pussycat Dolls recording group.
Antin is no stranger to reality TV -- she previously worked on "The Search for the Next Doll" and "Girlicious."
Kardashian previously produced the E! show "The Spin Crowd."

#8640 closed enhancement (wontfix)
2 new functions for Plugin API.
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|has-patch tested commit
With my plugins, i use often the same action for differents Hooks.
The code is:
add_action('save_post', 'example'); add_action('publish_post', 'example'); add_action('post_syndicated_item', 'example');
Why not to create add_actions() and add_filters() ?
The result will be:
add_actions( array('save_post', 'publish_post', 'post_syndicated_item'), 'example' );
Props functions:
function add_filters($tags, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args = 1) { if ( is_array($tags) ) { foreach ( (array) $tags as $tag ) { add_filter($tag, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args); } return true; } else { return add_filter($tags, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args); } } function add_actions($tags, $function_to_add, $priority = 10, $accepted_args = 1) { return add_filters($tags, $function_to_add, $priority, $accepted_args); }

- Milestone changed from 2.8 to 2.7.1
- Owner anonymous deleted
- Severity changed from normal to minor
- Version set to 2.7
comment:2 @johnbillion — 7 years ago
Looks handy.
Or add_filter() and add_action() could be modified to accept an array as the first argument to achieve the same thing.
comment:3 @DD32 — 7 years ago
There's been something before about multiple actions being passed, IIRC it was thought that modifying the existing functions to accept an array would add a overhead which wasnt really needed when you could mearly have a new function for it.
comment:4 @johnbillion — 7 years ago
Ah good point DD32.
comment:5 @jacobsantos — 7 years ago
- Milestone changed from 2.7.1 to 2.8
Well, I suppose it really depends, if the overhead doesn't make sense to that function.
I forget what other function it was that wanted to be added to the add_filter and add_action, but it didn't make sense at the time.
Add overhead the majority of people are not going to use will lower the limit of actions and filters that can be run before the total equals more than a second in itself.
Adding an if statement might not seem like much, but the CPU still has to make an decision on whether or not it should choose the branch that goes into the if statement or the one that ignores it. If it chooses wrong, then it has to start over.
However, making multiple function calls might be more than the overhead of the single if statement.
New functions / features usually aren't added to a minor release.

Updated orginal patch file to include the same thing for filters 'the_comment' to process many function call backs. Can not add the priority unless someone wants to take a stab at it.
Optimized current default-filters.php file to start this off.

Just need someone to confirm that this is all good! :)
comment:10 @jbsil — 6 years ago
If we're going to go down this road, why not allow the function parameter to be an array of function names as well?
I.E. Change
foreach ( $filters as $filter ) { add_filter($filter, 'strip_tags'); add_filter($filter, 'trim'); add_filter($filter, 'wp_filter_kses'); add_filter($filter, 'wp_specialchars', 30); }
add_filters($filers, array('strip_tags', 'trim', 'wp_filter_kses', 'wp_specialchars'), array(null,null,null,30));
or at least
add_filters($filters, array('strip_tags', 'trim', 'wp_filter_kses')); add_filters($filters, 'wp_specialchars', 30);
or ideally
add_filters($filters, array('strip_tags', 'trim', 'wp_filter_kses', array('wp_specialchars', 30)));
comment:11 @markjaquith — 6 years ago
- Milestone changed from 2.8 to 2.9
A little late for this. Will consider it early in 2.9 cycle. Shane, your 8650.2.diff patch won't work... you're not calling the new function properly. You're still passing $filter when you've removed the foreach loop.

D'oh! Oh well. :P

- Milestone changed from 2.9 to 2.8
I don't think it's correct to try to something like:
add_filters($filters, array('strip_tags', 'trim', 'wp_filter_kses'));
each function can have its own priority and number of arguments, and this renders the whole idea more or less pointless. and that is not to mention the clunky looking syntax with classes (especially when they're mixed up):
add_filters($filters, array(array('foo', 'bar'), array(&$bar, 'foo'), 'foobar'));
the correct approach, I think, is the first patch, 9640.diff, which is still good against 11300.
add_filters($filters_array, $single_callback, $priority, $num_args);
@Denis-de-Bernardy — 6 years ago
same as 8640.diff, except that the filters actually get used in the default-filters.php file.

itching to close as wontfix myself, as I don't find this very useful.
so please patch in 2.8, or close this. this is one of those "well, why not?" tickets that can wait for years if not committed straight away.

thank you. :-)

A subset of this ticket, for add_filter() and add_action() to accept an array of hooks, has been again proposed in #14280, this time with benchmarks.

What to Preserve? An Application of Diversity Theory to Crane Conservation?
This paper attempts to demonstrate how "diversity theory" can be applied to the analysis of real-world conservation policies. The specific example chosen to serve as a paradigm concern s preservation priorities among the fifteen species of cranes living w ild throughout the world. The example is sufficiently actual to show how diversity theory can be used operationally to frame certain critical conservation questions and to guide us toward answers by providing informative quantitative indicators of what to protect. At the same time, the cranes example is rich enough that it illustrates nicely some broad general principles about the economics of diversity preservation.

In another study entitled "Carboxyhemoglobin Levels in Smokers vs. Non-Smokers in a Smoking Environment," researchers from Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, Ohio, headed by Aaron Light, used the Masimo Rainbow SET Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter to observe how non-smokers exposed to cigarette smoke are affected by CO-poisoning. Aided by SpCO measurements obtained from the Masimo Rad-57 Pulse CO-Oximeter, researchers tested 33 smokers (avg. SpCO of 5.04%) and 27 non-smokers (avg. SpCO of 2.49%) in an establishment where cigarette smoke was very noticeable against a control group of 50 non-smokers (avg. SpCO of 1%) in a well-ventilated non-smoking environment and found that the average SpCO level for the non-smokers in a smoking environment was nearly two and one half times higher than the control group indicating that "non-smokers are not exempt from the effects of cigarette smoke in the atmosphere."(3)
New Masimo Rainbow SET PVI Measurement May Provide Significant Value in the Detection and Treatment of Processes that Produce Increased Intrathoracic Pressure
In a study entitled "The Use of Pleth Variability Index (PVI) to Detect
Changes in Intrathoracic Pressure," a team of Neonatologists headed by Dr.
Mitchell Goldstein at the Loma Linda University Children's Hospital in Loma
Linda, California, observed the correlation between Masimo PVI during
pre-tap and post-tap epochs in a 6-week-old newborn with pulmonary effusion
and found that PVI was significantly increased post-drainage. Study
findings showed that PVI consistently increased-from 17.6 pre-tap to 21.8
post-tap in the first tap, 25.2 to 33.8 in the second, 17.6 to 20.0 in the
third and 19.9 to 25.1 in the fourth-indicating that "an increase in the
PVI dynamic could be correlated to the release of intrathoracic pressure."

Cary Owsley
- Filed Under
A Bartholomew County judge ruled Wednesday that the body of a Columbus man may be exhumed so that pathologists could perform an autopsy, after family members raised questions about the handling of his death investigation.
Judge Stephen Heimann's ruling comes after months of protests led by Cary Owsley's sister and son, who are skeptical about local authorities' insistence that Owsley, 49, shot himself in the chest on April 7. An Indianapolis Star investigation over the summer also revealed numerous problems with how the case was handled.
Many in the courtroom appeared surprised that ...

When he put it down he said to vane, 'I hope you may be happy.
No, vane, indeed I won't, nor anyone else for ever and ever if you'll only forgive me this time.
Mrs.Nairn left him, but she afterwards once or twice glanced thoughtfully at vane and Evelyn, who had once more drawn together.
vane Maxwell was in very good humour that night with himself and all the world.
vane, in the course of the evening, would bring me the money for me to distribute after the performance.
I suppose after what you've said it's no use asking you to have a nightcap, vane?
Well, said vane, Ill go up and look round the mine and then well have another talk about the matter.
vane seized the glass eagerly, and took a long, delicious drink.
The entire height of the cross, from the lowest base to the top of the vane, is thirty-eight feet.
If vane did that it would just break my heart—it really would.
