Saddam Hussein, an example for health

Saddam Hussein, an example for health
care reform
03/17/2005 03:24 AMOver breakfast at a favorite little French cafe in Harvard Square
today a friend who is getting a master's in Public Health at Harvard
mentioned that under Saddam Hussein Iraq's entire health care system
had a budget of $18 million and that under U.S. occupation this has
subsequently grown to $1.8 billion. How well did Saddam do with
his $18 mil? http:
//www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/iz.html shows
Iraqi life expectancy at birth to be 68 years versus the U.S.'s
77 years. Those extra 9 years are nice, of course, but they come at a
cost of about $1.9 trillion per year or 100,000 times Saddam's
budget.

06/07/2004 02:25 PMComputerWorld's FutureWatch profiles Carnegie Mellon's Radar
project (Reflective Agent with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning) which
aims to build a computer-based administrative assistance that can
intelligently guess what tasks need to be performed to help you in
your daily routine.
For instance, suppose a manager
receives an e-mail from a colleague requesting some slides. Fahlman
and his team are trying to optimize the Radar system to understand the
request at a basic level, draft a response and notify the manager with
a message like, "Here's my proposed answer; do you accept this?" and
then await the manager's response.
Radar isn't intended to act just as an e-mail filtering system,
Fahlman says. As a text-in, text-out system, there's "a huge
opportunity" for one Radar system to "talk" with another Radar system,
schedule meetings and draw information from or post it to a company's
Web site, he explains.

Blue-light-emitting dental flashlight
better than mouthwash
Blue-light-emitting dental flashlight
better than mouthwash
04/05/2005 06:35 AMCory Doctorow:
Dental-care researchers are proposing a blue-light-emitting
"mini-lightsaber" that you shine on your gums to kill bad bacterial
more effectively than mouthwash.
"Micro-organisms called black-pigmented bacteria (BPB) such as
Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia have been
implicated in the initiation and progression of gum disease," says
Soukos. Blue light kills these bacteria because it is absorbed by
specific chemical compounds within the bacteria - called
iron-porphyrins - causing a cascade of reactions fatal to the
organism...
Bacteria in the pure culture were killed in seconds, whereas bacteria
in the plaque samples were killed selectively. Those containing
iron-porphyrins were most affected - a beneficial result as it is
iron-porphyrins that help bacteria in harming the gums. It is the
acidic environment produced by the harmful bugs that results in tooth
decay.

and the disinterested chatter of your dentist. The thing is, isn't the
drill making noise through bone conduction, too?

Koko, the 300-plus-pound ape who became famous for mastering more than
1,000 signs, began telling her handlers at the Gorilla Foundation in
Woodside she was in pain. They quickly constructed a pain chart,
offering Koko a scale from one to 10. When Koko started pointing to
nine or 10, a dental appointment was made. And because anesthesia
would be involved, her handlers used the opportunity to give Koko a
head-to-toe exam."

The Register wants reform
The Register wants reform
06/24/2005 07:26 PMAccording to
Cathy
Kirkman of Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich and Rosati, the Register of
Coyprights
has
decided to propose abolishing the compulsory right granted by
section 115 of the Copyright Act. This is
the provision that gives recording artists the right to record
"covers," so long as they pay a specified fee.
Remember
this quote from a 1967 House Judiciary Report, considering a
modification to the law as it existed then:
[T]he record
producers argued vigorously that the compulsory license system must be
retained. They asserted that the record industry is a
half-billion-dollar business of great economic importance in the
United States and throughout the world; records today are the
principal means of disseminating music, and this creates special
problems, since performers need unhampered access to musical material
on nondiscriminatory terms. Historically, the record producers pointed
out, there were no recording rights before 1909 and the 1909 statute
adopted the compulsory license as a deliberate anti-monopoly condition
on the grant of these rights. They argue that the result has been an
outpouring of recorded music, with the public being given lower
prices, improved quality, and a greater choice.
Copyright Law Revision, Committee on the Judiciary, 90th Cong. 1st,
Sess., Rep. No. 83 66 (March 8, 1967).
Apparently the Registrer believes performers no longer "need
unhampered access to musical material on nondiscriminatory terms."
What progress.
Patent Reform?
Patent Reform?
06/05/2005 11:19 PMI was reading Business Week and they had a little
commercial section with ads from law firms. A couple of them were
intellectual-property specialists and I snarled internally; whatever
you think about patent law, as a longtime businessman I’m pretty
convinced that the IP law profession, while it contains many good and
intelligent people, is collectively a giant leech sucking money and
time out of the community of innovators. Having said that, two of the
lawyers’ blurbs jumped out at me; both about proposed US legislation
which would institute a new process, within the PTO as opposed to the
courts, for a quick challenge to the validity of a patent. This is
important, because today, defending yourself against
patent-infringement litigation is insanely expensive, $1M and up, way
up. This is why most companies, in particular small companies, roll
over and settle quickly when they get hit with this kind of lawsuit,
no matter how dopey the patent is. Here are the two reports: Defending Against
Patent Greenmail (which begins Patent “trolls” are
currently the subject of much discussion...; most IP specialists
don’t like to admit that patent trolls exist, but they do) and New USPTO
Post-Grant Patent Opposition Legislation on Horizon. I think the
high-tech business community ought to get behind this legislation,
big-time. Everyone except the patent trolls.
