|  | Gardisil under fire-PLEASE SHARE
00:14
A vaccine designed to prevent cervical cancer is coming under fresh scrutiny amid thousands of complaints linking it to a range of health problems.
more...
Gardasil has been the subject of 7,802 "adverse event" reports from the time the Food and Drug Administration approved its use two years ago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Girls and women have blamed the vaccine for causing ailments from nausea to paralysis -- even death. Fifteen deaths were reported to the FDA, and 10 were confirmed, but the CDC says none of the 10 were linked to the vaccine. The CDC says it continues to study the reports of illness.
Gardasil prevents the spread of human papillomavirus, known as HPV -- a sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer in a relatively small number of girls and women.
The vaccine's manufacturer, Merck & Co. Inc., says it has distributed more than 26 million Gardasil vaccines worldwide, including nearly 16 million in the United States. It estimates that 8 million girls and women have received the vaccine in the United States since June 2006.
Two girls allege in court that the vaccine made them sick.
One -- Jesalee Parsons of Broken Bow, Oklahoma -- got the shot at age 13.
Jesalee's lawyer, Michael McLaren, said she got the shot on February 27, 2007 and soon developed a fever and felt pain. The next day, he said, Jesalee felt pain in her chest and abdomen.
Her mother, Laura Parsons, said Jesalee spent weeks in the hospital and underwent two surgeries after developing pancreatitis. She says the federal government should have studied the drug more before approving its use.
"I just feel let down by the government," Parsons said.
Merck says it could be a coincidence that the girls got sick after receiving the vaccine.
The company said in a statement that an adverse event report "does not mean that a causal relationship between an event and vaccination has been established -- just that the event occurred after vaccination."
Merck said it would continue to evaluate reports of adverse reactions. It said it "updates product labels with new safety information as appropriate."........http://edition.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/07/07/cervical.cancer.vaccine/index.html less

| |  | FAA stun bracelets
00:11
Want some torture with your peanuts? By Jeffrey Denning 01 Jul 2008 A
senior government official with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) more...has expressed great interest in a so-called safety bracelet that
would serve as a stun device, similar to that of a police Taser.
According to this promotional video found at the Lamperd Less Lethal
website, the bracelet would be worn by all airline passengers. This
bracelet would take the place of an airline boarding pass; contain
personal information about the traveler; be able to monitor the
whereabouts of each passenger and his/her luggage and shock the wearer
on command, completely immobilizing him/her for several minutes. The
Electronic ID Bracelet, as it's referred to as, would be worn by every
traveler "until they disembark the flight at their destination."
According to a letter from DHS official, Paul S. Ruwaldt of the Science
and Technology Directorate, office of Research and Development, to the
inventor whom he had previously met with, he wrote, "To make it clear,
we [the federal government] are interested in.the immobilizing security
bracelet, and look forward to receiving a written proposal." Not only
could it be used as a physical restraining device, but also as a method
of interrogation, according to the same aforementioned letter from Mr.
Ruwaldt.
Prototype Remote-Activated Wrist Stun-Device Shocks You For Aeroplane
Security 08 Jul 2008 An official in the Department of Homeland Security
has "expressed great interest" in a wrist bracelet that can be remotely
activated to stun the wearer. It works by taking the place of a boarding
pass, which you then wear on your wrist so the flight attendants can
know who you are, where you are, and even shock you if you're
misbehaving.

|  | RELOAD-Doctors face felony charges
00:14
The three are accused of more than 1,000 unneeded surgeries at Buena Park center, bilking insurers of $30.5 million.
By RACHANEE SRISAVASDI and COURTNEY more...PERKES
SANTA ANA -- It just took a few hundred bucks, or in one case, the promise of a tummy tuck, for the insured "patients" to lie down on the operating table in Buena Park.
There, at Unity Outpatient Surgery Center, doctors Michael C. Chan, William W. Hampton Jr. and Mario Z. Rosenberg were waiting, and performed more than 1,000 mostly unnecessary procedures to remove cysts,
treat sweaty palms
and hemorrhoids, prosecutors say.
The three doctors were arrested Wednesday for allegedly bilking insurance companies out of $30.5 million while working at the now-shuttered Unity surgery center.
Authorities say the physicians are part of a broader $96 million scam conducted at Unity, which they say is the largest medical fraud prosecution in the nation. About 2,000 patients with insurance were seen at the clinic from August 2002 to April 2003. Many flew to Orange County from the East Coast, bringing family members to also undergo surgery for payment.
During that time insurance companies paid Unity -- the center and its operators -- more than $17 million.
The state Medical Board is looking into suspending the doctors, and can revoke their licenses. Records show Hampton received a Medical Board citation and $1,000 fine last year for failing to report a federal indictment in 2005 for a similar medical fraud scheme in Los Angeles.
Lawyers denied the allegations.
Rosenberg is one of the leading gastroenterologists in the country and "vigorously denies" all charges, said his lawyer, Peter Morris. "He's very hard working and well-loved by his patients,'' he said. " He performs legitimate services based on patients' complaints."
Attorney Kenneth Sisco, who once represented Chan in a civil case, said Chan worked at Unity very briefly. "He told me when he learned they were doing things inappropriately, he left the clinic," he said. "Everything I know about him is very good."
A lawyer for Hampton could not be reached for comment.
Prosecutors say the doctors performed the surgeries -- sometimes a few dozen a day -- at the center. Recruiters, called "cappers,'' found "patients" through word of mouth, offering people nationwide $300 to $1,000 for each procedure.
Chan -- the alleged owner and medical director at Unity -- allegedly conducted procedures on 208 patients, resulting in fraudulent billing of more than $9.5 million.
He also is accused of pocketing 2 percent of Unity's profits. In one instance, Chan allegedly promised a woman a tummy tuck after she agreed to an ultrasound and a cyst removal.
Rosenberg, who is on staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, is accused of performing 646 procedures on 554 patients resulting in fraudulent billing of more than $9 million. His patients, prosecutors say, came from 21 states outside California.
Hampton, of Seal Beach, allegedly performed 180 unnecessary sweaty palm surgeries on 178 patients in a four-month span.
"It is unfathomable that a doctor would treat patients as if they were bodies on a medical conveyor belt for a quick buck,'' Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said at a news conference.
Insurance fraud costs the state $15 billion, said California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. Each Californian pays $500 annually in higher insurance rates because of fraud, he said.
"This kind of fraud is harmful to everyone who pays for health insurance or who can't afford to," said David Seldin, spokesman for Blue Shield of California, one of the companies allegedly defrauded.
Clinics get away with the crimes by submitting bills to insurance companies that don't require preauthorization for surgeries. But some forms catch the attention of state investigators, who sometimes work undercover or conduct surprise visits at the clinics, Poizner added.

| |  | Court orders YouTube to give Viacom video logs
00:08
By ANICK JESDANUN - AP Internet Writer
NEW YORK --
Dismissing privacy concerns, a federal judge overseeing a $1 billion copyright-infringement lawsuit more...against YouTube has ordered the popular online video-sharing service to disclose who watches which video clips and when.
U.S. District Judge Louis L. Stanton authorized full access to the YouTube logs after Viacom Inc. and other copyright holders argued that they needed the data to show whether their copyright-protected videos are more heavily watched than amateur clips.
The data would not be publicly released but disclosed only to the plaintiffs, and it would include less specific identifiers than a user's real name or e-mail address.
Lawyers for Google Inc., which owns YouTube, said producing 12 terabytes of data - equivalent to the text of roughly 12 million books - would be expensive, time-consuming and a threat to users' privacy.
The database includes information on when each video gets played, which can be used to determine how often a clip is viewed. Attached to each entry is each viewer's unique login ID and the Internet Protocol, or IP, address for that viewer's computer.
Stanton ruled this week that the plaintiffs had a legitimate need for the information and that the privacy concerns are speculative.
Stanton rejected a request from the plaintiffs for Google to disclose the source code - the technical secret sauce - powering its market-leading search engine, saying there's no evidence Google manipulated its search algorithms to treat copyright-infringing videos differently.
The court has yet to rule on Google's requests to question comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert of Viacom's Comedy Central.
Viacom is seeking at least $1 billion in damages from Google, saying YouTube has built a business by using the Internet to "willfully infringe" copyrights on Viacom shows, which include Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and Nickelodeon's "SpongeBob SquarePants" cartoon.
The lawsuit was combined with a similar case filed by a British soccer league and other parties.
Together, the plaintiffs are trying to prove that YouTube has known of copyright infringement and can do more to stop it, a finding that could dissolve the immunity protections that service providers have when they merely host content submitted by their users.
Though Google said giving the plaintiffs access to YouTube viewer data would threaten users' privacy, Stanton referred to Google's own blog entry in which the company argued that the IP address alone cannot identify a specific individual.
In a statement, Google said it was "disappointed the court granted Viacom's overreaching demand for viewing history. We are asking Viacom to respect users' privacy and allow us to anonymize the logs before producing them under the court's order."
Google did not say whether it would appeal the ruling or seek to narrow it.
Stanton's ruling made only passing reference to a 1988 federal law barring the disclosure of specific video materials that subscribers request or obtain.
Kurt Opsahl, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said Stanton should have considered that law along with constitutional free-speech rights, including a right to read or view materials anonymously.
He said a user's ID can sometimes include identifying information such as a first initial and last name.
Viacom said it isn't seeking any user's identity. The company said any data provided "will be used exclusively for the purpose of proving our case against YouTube and Google (and) will be handled subject to a court protective order and in a highly confidential manner."
This is not the first time Google has fought the disclosure of user information it had been stockpiling. While gathering evidence for a case involving online pornography, the U.S. Justice Department subpoenaed Google and other search engines for lists of search requests made by their users.
