A Laptop Designed to Take a Licking and Keep on Ticking
By JOHN BIGGS
“All terrain” is not usually a designation associated with things as delicate as hard drives and high-speed memory chips. Dell, however, is betting that its Latitude ATG D620 − the ATG stands for All-Terrain Grade − can change that.
The ATG D620, which Dell says is designed to military specifications, includes a spill-resistant keyboard, heavy-duty case and 14-inch screen, which is visible in direct sunlight. It weighs about 6 pounds with the optical disk drive and battery installed, and is about 2 inches thick.
The laptop comes in a metal-and-black finish with protective coverings on its serial, video out, modem, Ethernet and four U.S.B. ports.
Inside the hard shell is an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, running at up to 2 gigahertz, and up to 4 gigabytes of memory. The least expensive model ($2,499) runs at 1.6 gigahertz and includes an 80-gigabyte drive and 512 megabytes of memory.
Dell includes a fingerprint scanner for security, while military and other security-conscious users can enable the laptop’s built-in Smart Card reader and other data encryption technology.
...... it won’t survive a dunk in the deep, the ATG D620 can survive a splash of mud or a good, hard drop.

E-9.025 Patient Advocacy for Change in Law and Policy
Physicians may participate in individual acts, grassroots
activities, or legally permissible collective action to advocate for
change, as provided for in the AMA’s Principles of Medical
Ethics. Whenever engaging in advocacy efforts, physicians ...12... ensure that the health of patients is not jeopardized and
that patient care is not compromised.
Formal unionization of physicians, and including
physicians-in-training, may tie physicians’ obligations to the
interests of workers who may not share physicians’ primary and
overriding commitment to patients and the public health.
Physicians should not form workplace alliances with those who
do not share these ethical priorities.
Strikes and other collective action may reduce access to
care, eliminate or delay necessary care, and interfere with
continuity of care. Each of these consequences raises ethical
concerns. Physicians should refrain from the use of the strike as
a bargaining tactic. In rare circumstances, individual or
grassroots actions, such as brief limitations of personal
availability, may be appropriate as a means of calling attention
to needed changes in patient care. Physicians are cautioned
that some actions may put them or their organizations at risk of
violating antitrust laws. Consultation with legal counsel is
advised.
Physicians and physicians-in-training should press for
needed reforms through the use of informational campaigns,
non-disruptive public demonstrations, lobbying and publicity
campaigns, and collective negotiation, or other options that do
not jeopardize the health of patients or compromise patient care.

Malnutrition is directly responsible for 300,000 deaths per year in children younger than 5 years in developing countries and contributes indirectly to over half the deaths in childhood worldwide.

Children who are chronically malnourished exhibit behavioral changes, including irritability, apathy and decreased social responsiveness, anxiety, and attention deficits. In addition, infants and young children who have malnutrition frequently demonstrate developmental delay or permanent cognitive deficits. The degree of delay and deficit depends on the severity and duration of nutritional compromise and the age at which malnutrition occurs.

Children are most vulnerable to the effects of malnutrition in infancy and early childhood. Premature infants have special nutritional needs that are not met with traditional feeding recommendations; they require fortified human milk or specially designed preterm formula until later in infancy. Children are susceptible to malnutrition for differing reasons. During adolescence, self-imposed dietary restrictions contribute to the incidence of nutritional deficiencies.

States Push Online Fitness Programs
By RICK CALLAHAN
With obesity …22… across the nation, a growing number
of states like Indiana are launching online initiatives to combat
residents’ expanding waistlines. One such initiative is Indiana’s
“10 in 10 Challenge,” an online program that commits
participants to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks. Proponents say
online programs reach a vast audience, are relatively cheap and
a quick way to let people know about upcoming fitness events
and local resources.
Action to curtail obesity is badly needed for Indiana,
which consistently ranks among the top 10 most obese states,
and is second, behind Kentucky, in the percentage of adults who
smoke, said Eric Neuburger, executive director of the
Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Indiana is far from alone – it’s one of 17 states where at
least 25 percent of the population is obese, according to 2005
data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In a report released in August by the Trust for America’s
Health, the public health advocacy group said research suggests
the nation would save $5.6 billion a year in costs associated with
treating heart disease if just one-tenth of Americans began
walking regularly.
Walking is one of the ideas behind Lighten Up Iowa, a
Web-based four-month program that’s driven by teams who
either track their minutes of activity, their weight-loss, or both.
Now in its sixth year, the Iowa program has been so successful
that 17 other states have modeled their own programs after it,
capitalizing on the Internet’s vast reach and ability to connect
people, helping them stay motivated, said the program’s
coordinator, Deborah Martinez. Its sponsor, the nonprofit Iowa
Sports Foundation, recently launched a national version, Lighten
Up America.
The federal health agency is trying to combat obesity
more broadly with programs in 28 states that encourage fitness
through efforts that include building sidewalks and walking trails,
said Robin Hamre, team leader of a national nutrition and
obesity prevention program at the CDC.
Hamre hopes Congress will fund the program for all 50
states. With obesity striking Americans of all backgrounds, and
surging in children, she said action is needed now.
“We’re seeing the same thing in all age groups and all
races. This is an equal opportunity epidemic,” she said.

Google Adds a Safeguard on Privacy for Searchers
By MIGUEL HELFT
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14 — Web search companies
collect records of the searches that people conduct, a fact that
has long generated …16… among privacy advocates and some
Internet users that valuable personal data could be misused.
Now Google is taking a step to ease those concerns. The
company keeps logs of all searches, along with digital identifiers
linking them to specific computers and Internet browsers. It said
on Wednesday that it would start to make those logs anonymous
after 18 to 24 months, making it much harder to connect search
records to a person. Under current practices, the company
keeps the logs intact indefinitely.
“We have decided to make this change with feedback
from privacy advocates, regulators worldwide and, of course,
from our users,” said Nicole Wong, Google’s deputy general
counsel.
But it is unclear whether the change will have its intended
effect. Privacy advocates reacted with a mix of praise and
dismay to it.
“This is really the first time we have seen them make a
decision to try and work out the conflict between wanting to be
pro-privacy and collecting all the world’s information,” said Ari
Schwartz, deputy director of the Center for Democracy and
Technology, an advocacy group. “They are not going to keep a
profile on you indefinitely.”
Others were less enthusiastic. “I think it is an absolute
disaster for online privacy,” said Marc Rotenberg, executive
director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
Ms. Wong said Google uses the search data internally
only to improve its search engine and other services. She added
that Google would release search data only if compelled by a
subpoena. Even so, Google was the only major search engine to
resist a Justice Department subpoena for vast amounts of
search data last year — a move that drew praise from privacy
advocates.
Just how personally revealing such data can be became
evident last year, when AOL released records of the searches
conducted by 657,000 Americans for the benefit of researchers.
…17… AOL did not identify the people behind the searches,
reporters from The New York Times were able to track down
some of them quickly through their search requests.
The ensuing flap caused AOL to tighten its privacy
policies. The company now keeps search histories for only 13
months and does not link them to Internet protocol addresses —
digital tags that can identify a specific computer.
For its part, Yahoo keeps search data for “as long as it is
useful,” said a spokeswoman, Nissa Anklesaria. And Microsoft
said that while it does not keep search histories alongside I.P.
addresses, it can connect the two if law enforcement requests it.

Brian Krebs on Computer Security
Three of the most aggressive buyers of online advertising
space today agreed to ...53... fines and reform their advertising
practices as part of a landmark anti-spyware settlement.
Mobile phone giant Cingular Wireless LLC, and travel
sites Priceline.com and Travelocity.com agreed to settle their
part in an ongoing investigation by the New York State Attorney
General's office, which last year sued adware/spyware purveyor
DirectRevenue for deceptively and fraudulently installing its popup
ad serving and Web tracking software on millions of PCs
...54... approval or consent of consumers.
This is an important settlement on a number of levels.
Online help forums are awash in desperate messages from
consumers ...55... machines were besieged by pop-up ads after
visiting a Web site that used slimy drive-by tactics to install
DirectRevenue's software, which is notoriously difficult to
remove from a host machine.
Perhaps more significantly, these advertisers were just
as culpable for supporting DirectRevenue's sleazy business
practices long after anti-spyware activists like Ben Edelman,
Suzi Turner and others published evidence of the illegal
distribution methods of DirectRevenue and the Webmasters it
paid to install its software. Experts consistently documented
adware bundles like the ones distributed by DirectRevenue
being installed on computers that contract distributors had
already infected with computer viruses and worms.
Ari Schwartz, deputy director for the Center for
Democracy & Technology, a consumer policy group in
Washington, D.C., said today's settlement was important
because it recognizes the oft-overlooked role that advertisers
continue to play in supporting the adware and spyware industry.
"The dirty secret about unwanted adware is that many
legitimate companies - knowingly or not - fund its proliferation
with their advertising dollars. Until we cut off that funding, there
will always be a financial incentive for companies to bombard
users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
While the settlement is a welcome and important one, the
terms and fines could have been a bit stiffer. Under the terms of
the agreement, all three companies will have to pay between
$30,000 and $35,000 each to New York state. In addition, "prior
to contracting with a company to deliver their ads, and quarterly
thereafter, the companies must investigate how their online ads
are delivered. The companies must immediately cease using
adware programs that violate the settlement agreements or their
own adware policies."

users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
While the settlement is a welcome and important one, the
terms and fines could have been a bit stiffer. Under the terms of
the agreement, all three companies will have to pay between
$30,000 and $35,000 each to New York state. In addition, "prior
to contracting with a company to deliver their ads, and quarterly
thereafter, the companies must investigate how their online ads
are delivered. The companies must immediately cease using
adware programs that violate the settlement agreements or their
own adware policies."

Brian Krebs on Computer Security
Three of the most aggressive buyers of online advertising
space today agreed to ...53... fines and reform their advertising
practices as part of a landmark anti-spyware settlement.
Mobile phone giant Cingular Wireless LLC, and travel
sites Priceline.com and Travelocity.com agreed to settle their
part in an ongoing investigation by the New York State Attorney
General's office, which last year sued adware/spyware purveyor
DirectRevenue for deceptively and fraudulently installing its popup
ad serving and Web tracking software on millions of PCs
...54... approval or consent of consumers.
This is an important settlement on a number of levels.
Online help forums are awash in desperate messages from
consumers ...55... machines were besieged by pop-up ads after
visiting a Web site that used slimy drive-by tactics to install
DirectRevenue's software, which is notoriously difficult to
remove from a host machine.
Perhaps more significantly, these advertisers were just
as culpable for supporting DirectRevenue's sleazy business
practices long after anti-spyware activists like Ben Edelman,
Suzi Turner and others published evidence of the illegal
distribution methods of DirectRevenue and the Webmasters it
paid to install its software. Experts consistently documented
adware bundles like the ones distributed by DirectRevenue
being installed on computers that contract distributors had
already infected with computer viruses and worms.
Ari Schwartz, deputy director for the Center for
Democracy & Technology, a consumer policy group in
Washington, D.C., said today's settlement was important
because it recognizes the oft-overlooked role that advertisers
continue to play in supporting the adware and spyware industry.
"The dirty secret about unwanted adware is that many
legitimate companies - knowingly or not - fund its proliferation
with their advertising dollars. Until we cut off that funding, there
will always be a financial incentive for companies to bombard
users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
