Medical confidentiality may date back to Hippocrates's ruling on the duty of doctors to respect patients' privacy 2,500 years ago, but it is anything but a dead issue.
British doctors' leaders have given their support to their Turkish colleagues last week. But with no hint that the comparison with repression in Turkey may sound a touch far-fetched, they claim that they, too, are fighting to defend the Hippocratic oath from the British government.
It is not the possibility of arrest and torture which worries the British Medical Association but that the underemployed spies of MI5 and GCHQ will start looking at medical records; that American "data warehousing" companies will be able to exploit confidential information and that the trust relationship between doctors and patients, on which diagnosis and treatment depend, will soon break down.
The superficially dull proposal to create a National Health Service computer network lies behind this explosion of apparent paranoia. In theory the plan is innocuous. Linking all classified patient information in one network should bring enormous benefits.
The NHS internal market, whose obese administration costs embarrass even Conservative health ministers, has already become more efficient as a result. From 1 April a central "clearing house" has been recording all transactions that are recorded on computer. Nominal "purchasers" of health services will now be billed by nominal "suppliers".
But making the NHS operate more like a "market" is not the only reason for computerisation. Ray Rogers, executive director of the NHS information technology unit, told a seminar at the London School of Economics last week that the new network could save at least pounds 100m a year, "and that's a lot of hip operations". Patients' test results could be sent to their GPs by e-mail rather than Royal Mail. One day - perhaps soon - a doctor would be able to transmit a patient's medical history to a surgeon in "accident and emergency" at the other end of the country. Lives as well as money could be saved. Who but a Luddite could object?
But as with so many other brainchildren of this government's dotage, it is all too easy to find much to object to. The NHS network is being constructed with a characteristic disregard for public values and civil rights.
It is not, as one might expect, being run by civil servants, bound by confidentiality and the remnants of the public service ethos. The management of the clearing house has been contracted out to AT&T, the giant American telecommunications company. Ministers have repeatedly rejected suggestions that this entails any risk to confidentiality, or that medical data could, for example, leak to insurance companies or employers who would very much like to know how sick their customers and employees may become. They could find it useful, after all, to take action before the demands for sick leave and dividend payments arrive.
Dr Ross Anderson of Cambridge University, an authority on this new technology and currently advising the BMA on safeguarding confidential information, is so far unconvinced by government reassurances. He has seen no regulations penalising the leakage of confidential information and is wary of the culture change commercialism could bring. "America is a country where anyone with a dollar can buy medical information, and we're asking Americans to take over people's most confidential data."
His fears are well grounded. A trawl of the specialist American press revealed that a banker on a state health commission had downloaded a list of everyone in the state with cancer. He cross-referred it to a list of his customers and called in loans to patients whose health was suspect. Then there was the US drug company that bought a database of prescriptions. Its marketing department is using it to find depressed patients who will then be contacted and told that they will feel a lot jollier if they take Prozac.
There is nothing unusual in this behaviour: 40 per cent of US insurers have admitted that they have passed personal health data to employers and banks. The Republican majority in Congress, which enthusiastically favours all forms of deregulation, currently has a Bill before it promoted by credit reference agencies which would allow health records to be swapped without the consent of patients.
The American connection does not end with AT&T. The contract to analyse patients' computerised records has been given to a Warwickshire company, CHKS, which is a subsidiary of the US data processing conglomerate HCIA. The terms seem remarkably generous. CHKS will charge health trusts when they hand over their data and again when the analysed data is handed back.
It would be easy for the Government to allay fears that private information will be sold for financial gain by removing individual names before records are passed to the central clearing house. Analysts would still be able to find out, for example, how many people in Newcastle had hip operations, but not the names and addresses of the individual patients. But no attempt has yet been made to take names and NHS numbers off the records of operations which flash through the system.
The Government is also resisting other attempts to protect confidentiality. Doctors have asked that patients at least give consent to their health records being passed on. The Department of Health will agree only that patients should be informed that others can read their records. There will be no right of veto. Doctors could refuse to agree to the Whitehall demands and stick to their ethical code. But if they did, they would not be paid for treating patients who want their secrets kept. The records would not be in the billing system.
Civil servants have offered one compromise: that patient details could be "encrypted". When a doctor sends a referral note to a hospital, it could be in a code that only an authorised consultant could break.
But there are problems. GCHQ, the Government's electronic listening centre which has been short of work since the end of the Cold War, will develop the codes. Naturally enough, doctors assume that what GCHQ can encode it can also decode. MI5 and other state agencies would then be able to trawl medical records.
Spies, data selling, data matching and international information conglomerates are a long way from the traditional doctor-patient relationship.
Dr Fleur Fisher, the BMA's head of ethics, described last week how it used to work. Patients in the family planning clinic where she once practised, were guaranteed absolute confidentiality. Records were locked in filing cabinets and even patients' GPs could not see details of abortions and contraception if women wanted secrecy. However unreasonable, all requests for anonymity were respected. The dangers of patients being scared away from treatment were too great to risk.
Dr Fisher is involved in the protracted negotiations with the Department of Health about the new network. On Thursday there were signs that Whitehall was moving to allay the BMA's concerns. It may allow doctors to control their own coding and decoding and remove GCHQ from the system.
Yet all the concessions the BMA has wrung from civil servants have been made late in the day. It is not that the Department of Health is staffed by Orwellian tyrants determined to examine the most intimate areas of 55 million people's lives. Whitehall simply has no instinctive respect for rights. If it is cheaper to brush aside fears about patient confidentiality - it usually is - then brushing aside is what they will want to do.
It need not be so. When Germany computerised its medical records, there was no question that central government could find out the names of patients treated at local level because the German constitution guarantees that individuals own personal information.
Britain has no privacy rights. No one knows who "owns" the information: patients, GPs, hospital or Department of Health. Whitehall's legal advice is that patients have no ultimate right to control information about themselves.
So far the, often ferocious, debate about the NHS network has been conducted almost exclusively in the pages of computer and medical journals and behind closed doors in Whitehall. But sooner or later the public will start listening. If patient privacy cannot be guaranteed how will people react? Will they shrug their shoulders and say that you cannot expect to keep secrets in the modern world? Or will they worry that their most intimate medical histories will be available to hackers, banks, employers, insurance companies, police officers and state agencies, and refuse to give doctors information which could be vital to their treatment?

2 busted for city meth lab in Morgan City
MORGAN CITY, La. — Two people were charged Sunday with running a methamphetamine lab out of a residence on Arkansas Street after police received a tip that people were purchasing items used to make meth, Morgan City Police Chief Travis Crouch said in a news release.
—James Michael Murray, 24, of Arizona Street in Morgan City, was arrested at 12:36 a.m. Sunday for creating or operating a clandestine lab for manufacture of a controlled dangerous substance-methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
—Lynette Ann Guidry, 31, of Fern Street in Thibodaux, was arrested at 12:36 a.m. Sunday for creating or operating a clandestine lab for manufacture of controlled dangerous substance-methamphetamine, possession of schedule II controlled dangerous substance-methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Morgan City police received information of people attempting to purchase items from local drug stores that are commonly used as ingredients in the production of methamphetamine, Crouch said.
Officers began an investigation, which led them to a residence located on Arkansas Street in Morgan City, Crouch said. Officers identified several people in the residence and found evidence of a clandestine lab used to produce methamphetamine, Crouch said. Officers detained the person inside and obtained a search warrant for the residence.
Officers were able to identify, through evidence and statements that two of the people inside the residence where responsible for the lab, Crouch said. Murray and Guidry were arrested and taken to the Morgan City Police Department. Guidry was also found to possess a small amount of meth and was additionally charged. They remain in jail with no bail set.

Environmental Self-Auditing: Setting the Proper Incentives for Discovery and Correction of Environmental Harm
Many firms conduct "environmental audits" to test compliance with a complex array of environmental regulations. Commentators suggest. however, that self-auditing is not as common as it should be, because firms fear that what they find will be used against them. This article analyzes self-auditing as a two-tiered incentive problem involving incentives both to test for and to effect compliance. After demonstrating the inadequacy of conventional remedies, we show that incentives can be properly aligned by conditioning fines on firms' investigative effort. In practice, however, the regulator may not be able to observe such effort. Accordingly, we propose and evaluate the use of three observable proxies for self-investigation: the manner in which the regulator detected the violation: the firm's own disclosure of violations; and the firm's observed corrective actions. Each method has its own efficiency benefits and informational requirements, and each is distinct from EPA's current audit policy. Copyright 2000 by Oxford University Press.

Well Android fans, it seems that we now know when the Xperia X10 will be available to Vodafone customers. While we still don't have an exact date, we now know that the handset will be launching sometime in April. The Vodafone site is now listing the Xperia X10 as "coming soon." Unfortunately we are going to have to wait a little bit on the price, but lets hope it won't break the bank. As this phone has been an object of lust for me for quite sometime, I am really hoping a US carrier picks this handset up soon.
That looks real purty! Shame it's not going to be running Android 2.1 though 🙁
It will be upgraded to 2.1. But released on 1.6. Se has done a lot of updates though so it won't be standard android 1.6. Since 2.1 was not out when Se started to develop the phone they did alot of the features themselves like BT files transfer and OTA and other stuff. The X10will continue to get updates just like the apple brick.

Convert Javascript to PHP with AJAX-functionality
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 17
Project Description
I currently have a javascript (well, actually it´s three scripts working togheter) that i would like "converted" into PHP with AJAX-functionality where available. The scripts is used to look at arrival and departure dates into Turkey and with the current visa-rules show if your current VISA is enough, how many days you got left and so on.
You can see the script in action here:
[url removed, login to view]
and the source-code for the scripts are available here:
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
[url removed, login to view]
The scripts needs to be well documentet (commented) and for translation-reason it should be clear what and where a non-programmer should edit the file to translate the outputs. I prefer one script rather than three if that´s possible. It´s currently a bit buggy (especially the calender part depending on web-browser) so i would need any bugs found to be sorted out too.
PS: I´ve bought a copy of the source-code from BodrumBulletin to use on another site (in another language), but I don´t like the current setup and this is why I want it in PHP + AJAX instead.Get free quotes for a project like this

John Krasinski: I Knew Emily Blunt Was The One Right Away
That Jim Halpert is such a charmer!
In a Wednesday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, John Krasinski opened up about his "amazing" marriage to actress Emily Blunt.
"It's one of those things where, as soon as you meet someone, you know," the 31-year old actor, who married Blunt, 28, in July 2010 said.
PHOTOS: Over-the-top Hollywood weddings
"You knew right away when you met her?" DeGeneres, 53, asked.
PHOTOS: Gorgeous celeb wedding pics
"Yes," The Office star answered emphatically. So did Blunt know instantly Krasinski was her future hubby? He quipped: "She says she [knew]! So I'm going to take that as a yes."
"I wasn't really looking for a relationship… And then I met her," he explained. "I was so nervous, and I was like 'I think I'm going to fall in love with her,' and as I shook her hand, I went, 'I like you.'"

Repairers of the Breach names James West new leader
Repairers of the Breach, the city's only day refuge for the homeless, has named a new executive director to replace MacCanon Brown.
James West Jr., who has been a member-at-large of the board of directors, was named executive director effective Jan. 6, according to the organization's website. West is pastor of Trinity C.M.E. at 3820 N. 20th St. He did not return calls and emails for comment.
Brown was fired from the agency she helped found in a power struggle with the board of directors that ended in a secret court settlement announced in December.
Board president Joyce Roesler said in announcing the appointment on the website: "He brings with him successful experience and knowledge in working complementarily and collaboratively to discern, formulate and implement plans to further carry out our mission statement to serve the homeless."
When reached by telephone, Roesler said she would not discuss the appointment further. "Go to the website," she said.
Carolyn Slater, who was named interim executive director after the board fired Brown in August, has been appointed clinic coordinator, according to Roesler's statement.
Roesler also wrote that the board of directors wants to "add more persons" to its three-member board.
One of the issues that apparently resulted in the court battle was an attempt by some Brown supporters to become part of the board of directors, an attempt the board rejected.
Those supporters and Brown then tried to take over the agency by changing its website and listing themselves as the board. The board led by Roesler took Brown and her five supporters to court, claiming they tried to "hijack" the agency. Brown refused to leave the center at first.
A confidential settlement between all parties was announced in December.
The fight over Repairers occurred just months after a total renovation of its three-story center at 1335 W. Vliet St. was completed.
The center provides everything from a shower to a set of clean clothes to telephone and mail services — all focused on getting the homeless a job or a decent place to live and connecting them with social service or education programs.
Participants can find help getting everything from an eye exam and hypertension screening to a Social Security card.
Repairers receives no government money. It relies entirely on donations from supporters or volunteer work from doctors and nurses. Over the years, Brown built extensive ties to local churches, companies, schools and clinics and had been considered synonymous with the organization.

If there's anyone who can relate to what Florida International's football team is going through right now, unfortunately, it's UConn.
Last Thursday night, 22-year-old running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death outside the school's recreation center. It was strikingly reminiscent of the Huskies' own tragedy last fall, when cornerback Jasper Howard was stabbed and killed on campus in the middle of the season.
UConn coach Randy Edsall had to learn how to handle the situation, and he's offered some help to Florida International. He called FIU coach Mario Cristobal on Friday and also asked Jasper Howard's mother, JoAnglia, if she would talk to Berry's family and the FIU players.
"We're reaching out to them with support and understanding," Edsall said. "Just to let them know we're thinking about them, but also [to say] 'We just went through it and we know how you feel.'"
There's a Big East connection between the two programs, as Cristobal is a former Greg Schiano assistant. Edsall handled the extreme challenge last year with grace and poise, and perhaps his experience can help the healing for FIU.

On Monday, April 1, 2013 U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting FY 2014 H-1B cap-subject petitions for employment starting on October 1, 2013.
What is the H-1B Cap?
There is an annual cap on the number of new H-1B petitions available each year. The law allows for 65,000 new H-1B visas to be issued each year, and an additional 20,000 visas are available to foreign workers with an advanced degree from a U.S. academic institution. Because there is a cap on the number of available visas each year, employers interested in hiring foreign workers in an H-1B status should take advantage of the April 1 filing opportunity.
Certain employers are exempt from the H-1B cap, and can apply for an H-1B visa year-round. These include institutions of higher education such as universities, non-profit entities related to an institution of higher education, and non-profit or government-affiliated research organizations. In addition, foreign workers who have already been counted against the H-1B cap are not subject to the H-1B cap.
What Type Of Positions And Workers Qualify For An H-1B?
U.S. businesses use the H-1B visa to employ foreign workers in "professional" or "specialty occupation" positions. A position is considered "professional" or a "specialty occupation" if it requires at least a bachelor's degree as a minimum qualification for the position. In other words, if in the general labor market a candidate would usually need a bachelor's degree to be hired for a given position, that position may be filled by an H-1B worker. Similarly, the H-1B worker must possess a degree in a field related to the position being filled. If the H-1B worker does not have a formal educational degree, then 12 years of progressive experience in the field may be used instead to obtain the equivalent of a bachelor's degree.
How To Prepare
Although the FY 2013 H-1B cap was not reached until June 11, 2012, the cap may be reached quicker this year. Therefore, you should immediately evaluate your hiring needs for this year and identify any current employees or potential hires who will need H-1B sponsorship.
Possible candidates for an H-1B visa include potential new hires or current employees working on another type of work visa, such as student (F-1/OPT), exchange visitor (J-1), intra-company transferee (L-1), or NAFTA professional (TN). Once you have identified candidates for H-1B status, you should contact an immigration attorney to evaluate whether the offered position and the candidate's credentials will support an H-1B petition and start preparing to file the H-1B case on April 1, 2013.

GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Throughout Carmelo Anthony's career, critics have questioned his commitment to the game. They point to his sub-.500 playoff record in Denver, and his propensity to operate in isolation, and draw the same general conclusion:
Anthony is a selfish player, and he doesn't care about winning.
Well, new teammate Metta World Peace disagrees with that sentiment -- strongly.
"Melo has the killer instinct. He has that championship, special character," World Peace said Thursday. "You need a player like Melo. ... You really can't see what's in his heart. You can see his stats, but you really can't measure how big his heart is. It has no limit. So obviously, he has championship capabilities."
Some see World Peace as one of the key ingredients for Anthony this season. When World Peace shares the floor with Anthony, the thinking goes, he can defend the opponent's best forward. That way, Anthony can conserve energy for the offensive end.
That theory was posed to World Peace recently. But instead of talking defense, he chose to talk tangentially about NBA championships.
"I know how we can help each other. I need help too to get my second ring. Melo needs help to get his first ring. It's really that simple," World Peace told ESPNNewYork.com last month. "The Knicks need help to get a ring. ... (Knicks owner and Madison Square Garden CEO James) Dolan needs help to get a ring. So it's not just about me, it's not just about Melo, it's not just about Dolan. Everybody needs help. When you've got that mindset, that means you're doing it together. The only way I know how to work is together. I can't function when it's not together. When we do it together, I win. When we don't I lose. That's simple."
World Peace won an NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. He's among a handful of Knicks (also including Tyson Chandler, Beno Udrih, and coach Mike Woodson) with an NBA championship ring.
But he doesn't believe his past success has any bearing on what the Knicks can do this season.
"It's not about what I've done in the past. It's about what we're about to do now," said World Peace. "What I've done in the past don't mean s---. I don't even have my (championship) ring. I raffled it off. What am I gonna do with it? Look at it? It's over. So let's get another one."

April showers may bring us May flowers, so the saying goes. But they also bring out green homeowners.
When the snow and ice-covered rooftops melt with Spring temperatures warming the Northern Hemisphere, all of the water run-off has to go someplace.
If you're a green homeowner, you've already got your rain barrel or other rainwater harvesting system in place to capture all that run-off, to save water and your wallet. If you don't have one already, it should be at the top of your list of home improvements for the year.
The average American uses 300 gallons of water a day at home. While only 30% of that is used outside, just by collecting the water which Mother Nature drops overhead could save the average homeowner between 30 to 50% on their water bills – and about 80% for commercial water bills.
Most of the water we use is flushed with our waste.
According to the American government's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 26.7% of our house water is used to keep our toilets flushing. Ironically, the next biggest consumer of water in our homes keeps us clean and fresh – 21.7% of our house water is used in our clothes washers followed by 16.8% use in the shower.
A rainwater harvesting system can be hooked into your home or businesses plumbing, and be put to use for toilet water and clothes washing, which really saves on water use, and that can drive your water bill down.
Although we'd like to think the wet stuff which falls from above is clean and pure, because of all the chemicals we pump into our atmosphere, rainwater is not fit for drinking, so you shouldn't use it to shower, bathe or drink.
Most rainwater harvesting systems have a basic filter, preventing leaves and other small debris from entering the system. However, unless you go all out and install a water filtration and purification system as well, the stuff you collect is not safe for drinking water.
But you'll have the greenest lawn, regardless of water shortages and their consequential lawn watering bans from municipalities – using rainwater to water your lawn will save your lawn during a hot summer, and will save on your water bill too.
Other uses for captured rainwater include washing cars, driveways and yards, watering your garden in addition to washing your clothes and in-toilet systems.
A typical rainwater harvesting system has a storage tank fitted to your stormwater drain, which captures rain water run-off from your roof. The run-off water enters the tank through a filter which removes leaves and other small objects. The storage tank is usually buried under your driveway, garden, or front lawn, and has a pump that pumps the water through a separate series of pipes that lead to your toilets and outside taps.
If you use this sort of system, there is a float in the tank, similar to the one in your toilets, which automatically triggers a valve to open and fill to a minimal level from the house's water main so that the tank never completely empties. This way, you'll always have water for your toilets and clothes washing machine, even during low rainfall periods.
However, the typical household rainwater harvesting system can capture about 100,000 litres of water – so you shouldn't ever run out.
And as the snow and ice melts and runs-off this time of year, now really is the best time to start collecting rainwater – though some have been doing so all winter long.
In cold, wintry climates, you can purchase heating cables that keep your gutters and rainwater harvesting systems flowing even in the coldest of winters.
This not only helps you save water all year round, because you're capturing melted snow and ice, but also prevents ice dams from forming, which can cause damage to your roof.
A rainwater harvesting system with all the fixin's could run you a couple of grand to install.
But you don't have to start with something so extravagant, you can simply buy a rain barrel for about $50 to $75 from your local hardware store, fit it underneath your gutter's run-off, and for another $20 for a watering can, scoop out collected water to keep your plants well watered.
Every little bit helps, you and our planet, even if you're capturing rainwater on a budget.
Still not convinced?
6 Good Reasons to Get a Rain Barrel
According to one University of Rhode Island report, water use in homes increases by 40-50% over the summer, which is mainly because of the amount of water we use to maintain our lawns and gardens. The U.N. says that the six billion people in the world use a little over half of all the fresh water in the world, and water and water conservation are becoming hot button issues in the green community and even in mainstream politics.
While you may not think you can do much about the world's current water crisis, every little bit really does count. Luckily, there are many simple ways to help with the water crisis, including using a rain barrel at home.
Rain barrels and water tanks are incredibly easy to set up and use, and there are plenty of good reasons to use one.
1. You'll cut back on water usage for your lawn and garden
Your rain barrel can collect runoff during storms and rain, which you can then use on your lawn and garden, dramatically reducing the amount of water you use from your home water line during the summer months.
2. Rain water is actually better for your plants
Even if you don't have the greenest thumb, you can help your plants, shrubs, trees, and grass grow better by watering with collected rain water. Plants love natural rain water that isn't chlorinated or fluoridated like municipal water normally is, so collected rain water is the best choice for watering your plants.
3. You can help minimize direct runoff
Direct runoff refers to the dramatic surface runoff of water that floods into sewers during rainy and snowy weather. In industrialized areas, all the concrete, houses, and other impermeable surfaces keep the rain water from soaking into the ground where it lands, as it normally would. When the water is, instead, flooding into the sewage system, the system can overload, resulting in major problems such as flooding downstream and leakages at local sewage treatment plants. By collecting the rain water that lands on your roof, you can do your part to minimize these problems.
4. You'll help create healthier drinking water and natural waterways
When rain falls in the middle of an uninhabited forest, even rain that has picked up pollutants can be cleaned out, since most of the water will soak through the soil. However, when rain runs along roofs, streets, and cars, it takes all those pollutants with it, right into the natural waterways and drinking water treatment sites, since the soil that would otherwise soak it up is covered. By collecting rain water, you can prevent some pollution of the waterways around your home.
5. You can actually collect tons of water
If you live in a relatively dry area, you may think that having a rain barrel is pointless because you'll never get any water. However, it often takes less than an inch of rain to fill an entire rain barrel, depending on the size of your roof. According to the City of Kearny website, a 1,000 square foot roof with just an inch of rainfall yields over 600 gallons of water!
6. You'll save money
If you live in a city, chances are likely that you have to pay for your water usage, which makes rain barrels one great option for conserving water and saving money. With hundreds of gallons of rain water from a single rain fall, you can use that water for your lawn and garden for weeks to keep things looking green – without ever tapping into your city water supply.
As you can see, having a rain barrel is a great option for families who are interested in conservation and being green. While you can't use water collected in a rain barrel for drinking, washing, or bathing, it will definitely offset your use of water in your lawn and garden. But if you're looking for some other ways to be environmentally friendly while saving on water, here are some great options:
- Keep some filtered water in the fridge, where it will always be cold. This way, you don't have to run the water for a few minutes while waiting for it to get cold.
- Plug the sink when hand washing dishes, rather than letting the water run. A running faucet uses about a gallon of water per minute.
- Water your lawn during the cool part of the day, so your plants lose less water through evaporation. This will stretch the water in your rain barrel even further.
- Always run full loads of laundry and a full dishwasher, rather than many small loads. If you need a particular item clean for the next day, consider hand washing it in the sink. It's quick and easy.
There are so many ways to go green in your everyday life, and having a rain barrel outside your home is just one simple one.
