AP - People worried about sudden cardiac arrest no longer need a doctor's prescription to buy devices that jump-start the heart. The Food and Drug Administration for the first time agreed Thursday to let consumers go online and purchase the $2,000 devices for home use. Some 80 percent of the instances of sudden cardiac arrest, which is best treated by a shock from a defibrillator, happen at home.

AP - Because defibrillators are more affordable than ever, they are quickly becoming commonplace in schools, businesses and other public places such as airports. But ordinary people, even with training, often can't use the devices under the pressure of an emergency.

USATODAY.com - An automated external defibrillator for the home can now be sold over the counter, federal officials said Thursday.The ruling by the Food and Drug Administration completes the AED's transformation from a heart-starting device used only by trained rescuers to an accessible safety tool that one day might be as common in American homes as fire extinguishers.Most cases of sudden cardiac arrest occur at home. But most AEDs, which have been available only by prescription, are found in public places, such as airports and malls.Tens of thousands of lives have been saved across the nation, many by flight attendants, security guards and passers-by who used an AED before rescuers arrived. Some lives have been lost when no one knew where the AED was or when untrained people fumbled with it in a crisis.But the FDA found that the model it approved, Philips HeartStart Home Defibrillator, has been designed and labeled in such a way that anyone can follow the directions."This is a fundamental paradigm shift," says Joseph Ornato, an AED researcher who advised the FDA on the decision.About 60,000 people a year suffer an electrical short circuit in the heart that can be reversed only with a shock from a defibrillator. Six percent to 10% of these patients survive nationwide, USA TODAY found in an investigation published last year."The survival rate in homes is far worse than in public places," says Lance Becker of the University if Chicago.When shocked within six minutes, the person usually lives. But few emergency personnel can reach someone in that time, USA TODAY found.Philips says sales must reach 20,000 a year before the AED's $2,000 price tag will fall. The firm plans to have the AED on shelves by Christmas.Mickey Eisenberg, a Seattle researcher who has studied cardiac arrest survival, likens the HeartStart to airbags, carbon monoxide detectors or home security systems. "Widespread dissemination, especially in homes of high-risk patients, offers the means to improve these grim mortality statistics."

Google approved PageRank stripping

Google approved PageRank stripping 05/11/2004 02:12 AM

Blogger are now using the redirect-without-PageRank technique to protect their hosted blogs against comment spam (also used by Moveable Type). At the risk of sounding incredibly pleased with myself (which I am), that was my idea! Sweet.

Here's the real kicker: the URL redirector they are using is hosted on Google's primary domain. This is great news for people like myself who are running their own redirector, as the problem with having a redirect on your site is that it can be abused to make it look like people are visiting a specific site from a link on your domain: or even worse, to trick people in to visiting an unpleasant link (see Slashdot comments, where links are displayed along side the domain on which the "real" site is hosted). Now I can point my own PageRank stripper at http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=URL and let Google handle the redirects for me. Lovely.

Peter van Dijck recently joined the ranks of victims of wiki spam. Let's start rolling this technique out on Wikis as well. The trade-off in lost PageRank for linked sites is more than worth it.

Which listening patterns are
Radiohead-approved? 01/19/2004 01:55 PM
Pat, noting that Radiohead "believes their albums should be listened to in their entirety and will not sell them online as singles," wonders:

# My CD player has a random feature. Am I allowed to listen to the Radiohead album on random play?
# The inside of my car is quite noisy and I'm thinking it might interfere with the "Radiohead experience." Can I listen to it in my car?
# At home I have two small JBL speakers for my stereo, are these "Radiohead approved?"
# What household activities am I allowed to do while I listen to the new Radiohead album? I'm guessing that dusting would be okay, while vacuuming would be right out...

...and so on. Link
