London hospital loses 20,000 unencrypted patient files
Providing proof, if it were needed, that every single piece of personal data in the UK has now been lost - probably several times over, by multiple corporations and government offices - news has just broken of another theft of laptops crammed with easily accessed info. This time the there-but-for-the-grace-of-god bonehead users …
"reminding staff not to store..."
"None the less we owe it to our patients to protect their personal information and we have reminded our staff not to store this kind of data on laptops in the future"
Hmm. I dare say if you start sacking them for confidentiality breaches [hippocratic oath extends to the reception staff and management too, not just the docors and surgeons IMHO] then that might make them sit up and take notice and prevent this sort of thing happening again, perhaps?
Steven R
".. and we have reminded our staff not to store this kind of data on laptops in the future."
Instead they will use desktops, as we all know that those can't be stolen or anything, can they Blears?
Someone check the bedpans!
Wanna bet that this hospital never "loses" patient billings.
Considering there must have been a security hole and Apple OS X and Safari has more holes that swiss cheese, bet they have an Xserver.
Come on lets do this properly
Come on!!!!!!!! Let's do this right - let's get ID cards implemented so that everyone can have their identity 'shared'.
Wouldn't it be great to nip down your local dodgy boozer, 'ave a word wiv the shady bloke in the corner:
You: Now then mate, what have you got for me?
Bloke: Well, I can do ya a Brown for a ton, we have a special on Darlings this week, £80.
You: Cool, I'll take a Darling and a Brown for the missus.
Bloke: Done.
And courtesy of your government you too can say: "Tonight Michael I'm going to be....!"
Great eh?
We're all shagged.
And another one...
"The health records of nearly 11,000 patients are on a laptop stolen from the Wolverhampton home of a GP. The information was not encrypted to make it difficult to access, as health guidelines say it should be. But a practice spokesman said the information was protected with a complex password system which would be difficult to crack."
However, hospital staff were keen to stress that the laptops were "password protected".
"We believe the data will almost certainly be wiped by the thief so he can get a quick sale"
And how might your average thief, were he so gracious to wipe everything before trading for a tenner bag, intend on wiping the data if the laptops are password protected.
I wish people would stop treating us looks fools. Even more so, however, I wish people would stop letting them get away with it.
Shock horror
"However, hospital staff were keen to stress that the laptops were "password protected". Which should stymie anyone incapable of booting them up using an alternative operating system."
Oh so tell em how to access the data! D'oh!
The only surprise in this story is the fact that the laptops were locked away!
In my experience, some of the NHS trusts are VERY lax in the security of data.
Take for example; A "Storage Room" on the ground floor of a building, directly in the line of sight from the main entrance, door open, computer equipment on display for any scally to nab.
Or how about this. Administration offices sharing a building with another company and doors to Comms rooms, again full of new and old kit, left unlocked for anyone to gain access to!
Mines the one that says "Ex NHS engineer" on the back
Password protected
Thankfully they were password protected to stop people booting them.... because nobody can take the disks out of the machines and mount them on another and simply read the files... "Chief Executive David Astley" couldn't anticipate that either... f*cktards!
That;'s not security
Ordinary filing cabinets and office drawers can be broken into with a screwdriver in about 5 seconds. That's not even proof against the casual tea-leaf, let alone a professional. It must be impossible to make data completely safe but they could at least try.
Well, as they were physical machines that got stolen, you can't really blame Safari, unless it was one with porters, tents and bwana's toting elephant guns....
Surely they mean "hypocritical oath"...
... when they say "don't store patient data on laptops"?
Going by Recent Legislation....
Our best bet to get them to stop is to get the *(look away now if easily offended)* Daily Mail *(sorry...)* to mount a campaign about it... TIHNK OF TEH CHILDERN!!!
Hell, it worked for the 42 days, extreme porn...
(Joke only because that's what IT security is to these people)
@ Webster Phreaky
WTF has your second para got to do with the article?
Maybe you need a bigger butt plug....
"We could not anticipate a determined thief who was prepared to force open a filing cabinet and locked drawers," said Chief Executive David Astley
Simply and quite utterly breathtaking... This man should immediately be taken outside and pelted with his own merde...
Paris as she wouldn't have to be forced open anyway...
The really sad thing?
It's becoming so de-riguer to simply admit to having lost personal data now, that everyone and their dog is past caring anymore.
Who'd deliberately force open a filing cabinet
just to get a medical records laptop?
Seriously, government records you can understand. But medical records? Whoop-de-doo, you know who's got a bad heart and a few more details on their home address etc. There are easier ways of defrauding and ID-tefting people.
Then again, if they didn't lock the filing cabinet...
He's _Webster_. He blames _everything_, up to and including the heat death of the universe, on Apple and Apple products. It's all Steve Jobs' fault, don't you know...
Filing cabinets for their purpose
To store data records, what is the problem here?
If they were full of paper then they could still have been stolen, the obvious difference is it would have taken a lorry and 4 blokes rather than a man and a holdall on a push bike.
Could you make this up?
"We could not anticipate a determined thief who was prepared to force open a filing cabinet and locked drawers"
I have to ask if these spokespeople actually think about what they are going to say before they open their mouths.
I wish that I could say it is funny - but even my (very broad) sense of humour is starting to fail me.
I note that there is an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act due to become law later this year that will make it a serious offence for anyone who "intentionally or recklessly discloses information or repeatedly and negligently allows exposure of personal information". (infosecurity May 2008)
I wonder if this will apply to the government or just to the poor schmuck that they set up to take the fall?
Perhaps its about time we brought back the (old) second verse of the National Anthem?
"Confound their politics
Frustrate their knavish tricks
On thee our hopes we fix
God Save Us All"
Icon: Where's Guido when you need him?
Re: Password protected
"because nobody can take the disks out of the machines and mount them on another and simply read the files..."
No need to do all that.
Boot up with the floppy and just reset them.
ID Cards 'partner'
So out of the organisations that are to have access to the ID Card database are there any that haven't 'lost' data recently?
@Steven Raith
Make people CULPABLE for the losses they cause?
This is the United Kingdom of Unabated Apathy and Great Molly-coddling.
Not breathtaking; just plain ol' lame
"We could not anticipate a determined thief who was prepared to force open a filing cabinet and locked drawers," said Chief Executive David Astley
No, you twit on wheels, you certainly *could* have but you didn 't. Have you never heard of "worst case scenario planning"?
Betcha he's another NuLabour appointee who's seriously underqualified, seriously overpaid, gets big bonuses for doing 75% of what he's supposed to do, politically correct, and as an appointee of NL untouchable, for to fire him would be to admit a mistake was made and NL *never* makes mistakes, do they?
After all, if they admit a small mistake such as appointing this dude, then by implication such grand schemes as the ID card system might also be mistakes, no?
Sheesh! Where do these people come from?
[Answer: business schools.]
Having just been to a London hospital today, this does not surprise me. Most "data" consists of photocopied forms filled out with handwritten notes that are passed from department to department by use of foot, in-trays and luck. It's like going back 30 years in time.
However, to hack in to that system would not be easy... Nobody knows where anything is!
Whilst this is breathtaking stupid...
... they are at least ahead of the game as far as the rest of the governent and civil service is concerned. They have managed to put them in a locked draw, this is more secure than sticking them in the post or leaving them on a train.
It is clear though that the entire civil service should box up their computers and send them back. They are just not bright enough to be trusted with them, or pen and paper for that matter.
"We could not anticipate a determined thief who was prepared to force open a filing cabinet and locked drawers," said Chief Executive David Astley.
OMG! Breaking news from London - locks don't stop thieves!
@ Webster
That was a tenuous link, even for you! Let's face it, it's the NHS, it's probably not Apple gear.
Its another Joke right ?
Trust spokespersons told the Reg that the data had only been placed on the laptops due to a "temporary problem" with the hospital's network, which has since been rectified.
MAX - Those temporary network problems sure can escalate !
"We believe the data will almost certainly be wiped by the thief so he can get a quick sale," speculated Astley.
MAX - I would imagine that the thief is less inclined to wipe anything other than his/her fingerprints?
"Nonetheless we owe it to our patients to protect their personal information and we have reminded our staff not to store this kind of data on laptops in the future. We have also set up a helpline for patients to ring for further information."
MAX - yea, and to abide by the Data Protection Act in the first place. there are 2 crimes here.
The machines' drives were not encrypted. However, hospital staff were keen to stress that the laptops were "password protected".
MAX - yea, thats gonna slow them down alright. Order a pitza, by the time it arrives they be in.
"We could not anticipate a determined thief who was prepared to force open a filing cabinet and locked drawers," said Chief Executive David Astley.
MAX - Wow the determination of it all. Call me old fashioned, but thieves have always been determined, surely all of this was caught on internal security camera. Probably not due to the network problem?
NHS & Security
Two words that shouldn't be used in the same sentance.
A very good friend of mine worked at one of the Local NHS Trusts. By his own words he basically worked with a bunch of fucktards. The system is a shambles, people will not rock the boat as it may affect their automatic promotions. Promotions are not given for working hard and doing a good job, no, promotions were given purely on a who's turn is it? Basis.
This particular trust brought in a Security Consultant from the local Police Force to sort out the mess that was security. He duly did his job and for the best part of six months tried his best to bring it all into line. Until he pointed out to the Financial Director one day that he couldn't use his laptop at home as it wouldn't be protected by the Trusts Firewall. To which said Director pulled the "I can do what I like I'm the Director of Finance card", a spat ensued and the Director was told that Virus's and Trojans wouldn't give a fuck who he was.
The guy was eventually moved sideways into cushy number and told to keep quiet and given more money. They couldn't sack him as he was doing his job properly.
These people wouldn't last five minutes in the real world.
Paris cos she'll go down quicker than a security consultant in the NHS.
Knoppix on a USB stick
says it all. I have Knoppix, found out how to get it to boot off a USB stick on the web. I could boot all of those knocked off laptops in about (realistically depending on if they were any good) 2 minutes or so and copy the data to something else, say a DVD. Then I could go and lose them on the train or something. Every sod else seems to be...
Ah, yes, sorry, my mistake!
I'm half looking at moving away from London and crashing with my bro in Scarborough - and there was a field engineer job going at the local Trust.
This has made me think that putting up with the two hours commute each way from Deepest Herts to south of The River is favourable to working with a bunch of dribbling fucktards on my bros doorstop...I'd end up quitting in disgust, most likely.
Steven R
So when they had paper records
They were in an underground vault with armed guards? I'd reckon not - desk drawers and filing cabinets, if that?
Thanks for the Tips
When I get into the business of stealing laptops,I will know how to access the information on the disks, thanks to the information given out on these posts.
Must remember not to shed any hair or leave fibers,footprints etc at the scene .
I watch Crime shows and now I can get the knowhow on computer crime right here on The Register.
@Steve Raith
"Hmm. I dare say if you start sacking them for confidentiality breaches [hippocratic oath extends to the reception staff and management too, not just the docors and surgeons IMHO] "
Sorry, but it doesn't, and never did. And now doctors outside ER/Gray's Anatomy don't take the Hippocratic oath anyway. I didn't, and my students don't.
But Trusts and ALL their staff DO have a professional duty of care, which was probably not exercised here, and legal duties under the DPA.
They also have a duty not to be unthinking morons (a rule sadly broken all too frequently) who didn't consider the possibility that thieves might know how to break desk locks.
I'm sure these laptops were being used to provide what's called "outreach clinics" - enabling the staff to have access to patient information in non-Trust premises. The drawback is providing secure storage - I'm sure the bean-counters got a proposal "8 laptops at 600 quid each means we can hit one of our targets from access for less than five grand" but when told what a proper secure storage cupboard would be just said "The filing cabinets have locks, don't they? And a boot password is as good as encrypting the disk, isn't it?"
@ Rich, Paper Records, Steven R
"So when they had paper records they were in an underground vault with armed guards?"
No, but I'd reckon it was probably a little harder to lift patient records on 20,000 people when they were on paper than just snoiking a laptop!
@Steven "Wanting to work for the NHS" Raith:
Dude, don't do it. Seriously. My gf works at the NHS (clinical staff), and the horror stories I could tell.... but I'm pretty sure if I named the PCT or gave any examples of their sheer craptitude, El Moderatrix would stamp all over me*! "Dribbling Fucktards" is an apt description for their more competent staff!
(*Hmmm. So, there was this one time....)
(Pirates cos anyone with any data seems to be)
Not surprised
I did some agency work temping in the Service Delivery (admin) department of my local hospital. All the domain usernames and passwords for all the admin staff were written on a whiteboard in this unlocked office.
PH - Because she now knows to keep data secure
Chief Executard
Further proof that when politicians and business people tell us we have to pay for the best they are lying through their enamel cappings ...Chief Executive David Astley (probably on a six-figure salary) shows what a ouanquerre he is.
Imagine ... thieves breaking into locked cabinets!
What next?
A pause, for a moment, for the braying to subside. Judging by Reg responses England is clearly so chock full and bursting at the seams with infallible IT workers that it is simply amazing that anything goes wrong anywhere at all.
The error in judgment here was simply that someone equated the security of paper records in a filing cabinet with (possibly the same) records on a notebook and stored them accordingly. They neglected the status of portable electronics as highly desirable, easily convertible, targets of theft and that was wrong. In the mental arithmetic of Risk, they indirectly ramped "Likelihood" up a handful of notches without mitigation. Fix it. Move on
Now unless those records were part of a trial of a lucrative patentable treatment, it is unlikely that they were the target of the theft. Similarly it is unlikely that the thieves will take the additional personal risk to try and use the information for personal gain. The gain will be small, and the risk will be high - especially considering the vast number of relatively low (or zero) risk ways to acquire volumes of personal information. Identity theft is fueled by the rapid conversion of the billowing cloud of information we trail behind us - electronically or on paper - into profit. Blagging a hospital is poisonous to the process and, lets face it, completely unnecessary. The only thing that data will do is tie an otherwise convertible asset to criminal act. Its probable lifetime? Slightly shorter than the serial number on the bottom of the case.
Every day we ask those who provide services to us - doctors, hospitals, government agencies - to be more flexible and respond more rapidly to our changing needs and, more often than not, to do it for less money.
Rigid security systems - the kind we come to expect for national security and high value commercial information - are not designed for the sort of situation where personal data must be simultaneously secure, and at the fingertips of the part-time worker at the admissions counter, and in the hands of the person auditing the health program, and in the hands of the clinician. These requirements demand a properly risk managed but pragmatic approach and with pragmatism (sprinkled liberally with inadequate resourcing) comes the opportunity for errors in judgment. Standardised and reviewed processes help minimise these errors but process always follows need and need moves like a scared rabbit. Errors will occur. Fix them. Move on.
Interestingly, for all the infallible experts here, the concepts of risk management and pragmatism seem pretty thin on the ground. I am sure there are quite a few here who could explain how <INSERT FOOTBALL TEAM HERE> is being mismanaged. <INSERT MANAGER NAME HERE> needs to be given the boot!
I wholeheartedly agree.
I work for a company that assists the NHS with technology 'solutions' *AHEM* So I handle laptops (for training purposes) provided from local trusts and re-fit software and databases to be in line with current live systems.
Now we, are very careful with the data with which we're charged, but when I get these laptops, they rarely have passwords (even though we send them off secured, the cretins in NHS just remove them, and start dilligently filling said DBs with sensitive data) and even if they do have them, they're so highly enigmatic, they would require a thief to actually use their though processes to try the name of the city said laptop has been lifted from.
What i'm trying to say is that IT contractors for the NHS do the upmost to ensure security, but the good old 'stuck in a techno-rutt' NHS just seem to think that these policies just plain don't apply to them.
Anyway, i'm off to fit a new lock to my drawers...
As a member of NHS IT staff
I can say that attempting to implement any security measure will quickly be stomped on by the first Consultant (Medical, not IT) whom the change slightly inconveniences.
"I have to put my password in *again* if I leave my PC unattended for more than 10 minutes? I'm a very busy man, doncherknow?!"
Anonymous, for obvious reasons
Smart Cards
Why were the PC protected by passwords. According to the Information Governance Toolkit (Question 303 IGT watchers) all trusts have, as part of their obligation as a Registration Authority, to have "established business processes that ensure all staff smartcards and access profiles issued are appropriate".
Passwords should not be the authenitcation method used. Perhaps as well as breaching the Data Protection Act the executives of the trust have made a false declaration in their IGT return and so could be found guilty of perjury?
PH because she protects her assets better.
Mountain out of a mole hill ?
No it isn't. A lost Laptop can not be compared to losing a hardcopy file, its like losing the entire "Filing Cabinet", in fact 20 cabinets. Think about it!
Though NHS Staff need to be better educated on data security to be able to comply with the Data Protection Act, I believe that the IT Departments are really at fault. The IT department supply the laptops to the staff and they should have secured the laptops using Safeboot or any other encrypted software to ensure the data could not be viewed.
Would you be so forgiving, if a shop in the high street had left your credit card information for anyone to look at and use. When it started costing you money I fear not, then data protection would be very imfortant to you. If you care about protecting one form of data, then you have to care about all forms, no matter how trivial to you.
Data is protected for a reason, Would you like poeple to know if ?
1: You had an abortion when you were young
2: You had/have a drink/drugs problem
3: You have aids.
4: You have mental problems.
5: You have cancer, HIV.
6: You have had an STD
7: Your children are sexually active.
This is private information and is "TRUSTED" to the poeple who are there to help you. If the trust is not respected, the the patient may feel he/she does not want to disclose vitally important information to their Consultants/GPs/Nurses etc.
Data Security has to start with a well trained and educated ICT Department.
Sack them
Copying confidential data = the bullet. Likewise with the Wolverhampton Wanker.

Buncombe County HHS officials have reported Buncombe's first case of Chikungunya, a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, making it the third confirmed case in North Carolina. The Buncombe resident contracted the illness while traveling with a group to Haiti, which is located in an area where outbreaks of the disease have been reported. The disease is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. It is not transmitted from person to person. At this time, all cases in the United States have been linked to returning travelers.
Newborns exposed during delivery, adults over 65 years and people with chronic medical condition have a greater risk of having a severe form of the disease.
Officials encourage anyone traveling to the Caribbean, East Africa and the Western Pacific region to be aware of Chikungunya illness and ways to prevent it.

Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos
CDD22001 2CDs Dyad (2 for the price of 1)
Bach: Brandenburg Concertos
Studio Master: CKD430 Download only Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: [Allegro]
Movement 2: Adagio
Movement 2: Adagio [Movement 3: Largo from Violin Sonata in G major, BWV1021]
Movement 3: Allegro
The first movement is loosely based on the type of da capo form associated with sonatas. But here there is also an overall sense of dramatic intensification during the course of the movement, and the return of the opening section is modified with new gestures and some unexpected turns of event. The two cadential chords constituting the second movement ('Adagio') certainly do not refer to a piece that has since been lost since they come on the middle of a page in the presentation autograph. Perhaps, given the complexity and intensity of the movements on either side, they should be played precisely as they stand, as if the slow movement has simply vaporised. Or perhaps, in the manner of Handel's later organ concertos, they signify a solo improvisation. There is certainly a sense throughout the collection that Bach played on the expectations and conventions of concerto writing, and here is an opportunity to render this movement in a number of different ways.
The third movement is, unusually for Bach's finales, a piece in binary form with each of the two halves repeated. Here there is a definite element of virtuosity, but transferred from the customary soloist to the entire ensemble. Never again in the history of the concerto has there been such a piece that maintains the dazzle of the concerto idiom without profiling a single soloist.

In 1997 Temple Newsam's decorative art collections were listed as Designated Collections of national importance.
Temple Newsam is justly celebrated for its sumptuous collections of fine and decorative arts, especially paintings, furniture, silver, ceramics, textiles and wallpapers. The collection has been built up since 1923 when the estate was bought from the Hon Edward Wood (later Earl Halifax) by the city of Leeds and developed as a country house museum.
Despite the sale of many of the furnishings in 1922, the basis of the contents of Temple Newsam today is still the family collection. To this has been added over the years what now makes up one of the finest publicly owned collections of English decorative art outside London.

Grayson Perry: The Vanity of Small Differences
- 23 August — 7 December 2014 *on now
Temple Newsam House is pleased to announce that The Vanity of Small Differences, a series of six tapestries by Turner Prize-winning artist Grayson Perry, will be on display from August to December this year. Temple Newsam House will be the last UK touring venue in 2014 before the exhibition goes on an international tour supported by the British Council.
The Vanity of Small Differences tells a story of twenty-first century social mobility through the fictional character, Tim Rakewell. Created during the BAFTA winning Channel 4 documentary series All in the Best Possible Taste, they explore Perry's fascination with British taste and tell a story of class mobility. Perry's tapestries make direct reference to the series of paintings called A Rake's Progress by William Hogarth (1697-1764), the work of Hogarth has long been an influence on Perry's work. The eight paintings in Hogarth's series tell the story of Tom Rakewell, a young man who inherits a fortune from his father and who thenceforth goes on to squander his inheritance on fashionable pursuits.
At Temple Newsam, historic wall hangings are an integral part of some of the stylistic features set out within over 40 rooms representing many periods and styles. On the ground floor of the House, the Terrace Room displays a pair of large tapestries that illustrate scenes from the story of Moses. Setting Grayson Perry's six contemporary tapestries in this country house offers a unique context that will not apply anywhere else on the UK tour. The tapestries will hang in 6 adjoining rooms alongside fine art, furniture, wallpaper, ceramics and bed hangings from the 19th century. It is hoped that this will spark further debate about class and taste through time in British society.
We regret to inform you that the tapestries displayed at Temple Newsam House will be inaccessible to wheelchair users and people with limited mobility, as the South wing of the house is only accessible by stairs.

Gislane is a wild girl who sometimes finds it difficult to stand still. When Petter Hegre put her in a room with an empty clothing rack she took it upon herself to have a bit of fun.
With the skill and enthusiasm of a modern gymnast, this Brazilian beauty performed a few acrobatic acts on film and we are nothing short of stunned at the results. Gislane's naked body is a truly amazing sight as she dangles above the floor and flips about, a wicked smile never leaving her face.
I can safely say that the Olympics where never quite this fun to watch.

Parasites in Cats: Worms, Mites, Ticks, & Fleas
- You can't treat heartworms in your cat, you can only prevent them
- Ear mites are highly contagious and can move from cat to cat
- Some internal parasites can be transmitted to humans
The Truth about Parasites in Cats
Parasites are organisms that thrive by feeding off of other creatures. Cats can easily fall prey to both internal and external parasites, which pose different challenges when it comes to detection. A close inspection of your cat's skin might uncover traces of external parasites such as ear mites and fleas. But internal parasites, such as ringworms or coccidia, may require some tests to determine medication.
Discover Which Cat Parasite Risks Exist in Your Area
Use this Parasite Prevalence Maps by the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC)* to get important information about your region's parasite risk.
*Images courtesy of the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC)
Some infected cats have no symptoms. Although infrequent, sudden death is a reported occurrence in cats, as they hide very well more subtle symptoms. The only way to detect and properly treat internal parasites is through testing.
There are many parasites that can be harmful to your cat's health. Let's take a closer look at some of them.
Worms in Cats
These tiny worms live inside the blood vessels, and travel to the cat's lungs. Undetected, they can cause severe health problems and even death. They are transmitted through mosquito bites which means even your indoor cat could be at risk.
Known to cause life-threatening problems in kittens, these large bodied worms average 3-6 inches in length. They do not attach to the wall of the intestine, as some intestinal parasites do— instead they "swim" freely within the intestine. Known to cause abdominal discomfort and vomiting, roundworms are easily treated if detected early enough.
The name "hookworm" is derived from the hook-like mouthparts these parasites use to anchor themselves on the lining of the intestinal wall. So small, they are barely visible to the naked eye, but they feed on the tissue fluids and blood of their host.
Cats commonly contract tapeworms via accidentally ingested fleas. Once the flea is digested by the cat's intestine, the tapeworm is released into the cat's system. Eventually segments of the worm pass in the cat's feces and are visible to the pet owner.
Skin Diseases and Parasites in Cats
Surprisingly, ringworm is not a true worm, but rather a type of fungus. Usually, it doesn't cause discomfort but it can be easily transmitted to other cats and even humans. Left untreated, it can weaken your cat's immune system and make it easier for her to contract other, more serious, diseases.
They are found in grassy or wooded areas and can attach themselves to you and your pet as you pass by. Although a tick's bite does not itself pose a direct threat to your pet's health, it can transmit serious (and sometimes fatal) diseases such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain fever.
Ear Mites
As these microscopic parasites feed in a cat's ear canal, they cause intense itching. A cat suffering from ear mites may be seen repeatedly scratching at her ears or violently shaking her head. If you see dark flecks resembling coffee grounds in your cat's ears, these are the mites' droppings. Contact your vet for ear drops.
Fleas can make any cat's life miserable (and their family's)! These small, blood-sucking insects like to feed on your cat and live anywhere your cat does. Fleas can quickly cause a long-lasting, major infestation in your home. Not only can fleabites cause discomfort, itchiness and severe skin reactions, they can potentially transmit tapeworms if accidentally ingested by your cat.
Other Internal Parasitic Cat Diseases
Coccidia are not parasitic intestinal worms. They are microscopic parasites that live within cells of the intestinal lining. Because they live in the intestinal tract and commonly cause diarrhea, they are often confused with worms. In kittens and debilitated adult cats, coccidiosis may cause severe, watery diarrhea, dehydration, abdominal distress, and vomiting.
Three Ways to Protect Against Parasites in Cats
Get your Cat Tested Regularly
While it's fairly common for a cat to become infected with an internal or external parasite at some point, early treatment is crucial. A harmless parasite left untreated could eventually cause a life-threatening illness for your cat and pose a health risk to your family.
Focus on Prevention First
Preventative medicine is much better option than treatment later. Getting your kitten or cat vaccinated and de-wormed regularly allows her immune system to thrive, which most likely translates to your cat needing less care later. Adult cats also benefit from fecal examinations — which allow your vet to diagnose parasites not controlled by monthly medications.
Annual Checkup to Stay Healthy
Bringing your cat to the veterinarian for regular parasite checkups is one of the most important things you can do to keep your pet, and your family, healthy. We offer different programs specifically designed for your cat's stage of life. Schedule an appointment to find out more.

Post subject: I got my clock cleaned by my kid...
Last night after her science fair I decided to introduce my 9 year old daughter to Fed Com. We played a simple fleet scale duel between a Fed FFG and a Klingon F5. By game end she had a good grasp on most of the basics of power allocation, movement and ships systems.
I let her fly the Klingon as it is a slightly less complicated ship. She took full advantage of those nice broad Klingon firing arcs to pour a withering fire into my #1 shield while leaving me fresh shields to fire at.
She did refer to disruptors as "destructors" - very apt, that is sure what they did to my ship. And asked "What's a Klingon?"
The good news is she liked it enough to want to play again!
I hope to teach the owner of a local coffee shop how to play this week. The hardest concept to get across was the result of each turn being divided into 8 impulses, each of which was in turn divided into 4 sub-pulses. When do I get to shoot again? When do I pay energy to move again? But she caught on quick.
Anyone else have experiences with teaching new players they want to share?

During the initial playtesting, I was the Scoutmaster for my son's Boy Scout Troop.
Once every three or four months, they'd have an overnight lock-in. Everyone would bring their favorite game and they'd spend the night playing games.
I brought several copies of the Klingon D7 and the Federation CA (as those were the two ships they were most familiar with) and then thought them how to play the game (and got in several rounds of noob-type playtesting - a two-fer!)
With them paired off in 7 groups of 2, it took a while for my son, Joe Butler, and I to get them past the basic difference between FC and other "turn-based" games - but soon enough they were blasting away.
Of course, their favorite tactic was fly straight, fire, fly straight, fire, fly straight, fire everything, watch both ships blow up!
After the first round, they swapped ships then went again...
after that, they swapped enemies and flew some more.
The kids ranged from 11 to 15, but soon enough they began to get the idea and would maneuver for a more advantageous position, or to turn a weakened shield away, etc.
All in all, it was a fun experience - although it was a bit more difficult to keep track of 14 novices than it would have been with one or two... or even 3.

Same thing happened to me!
This week I introduced my 8-year old son (9 next month) to FC. He likes aliens so took the Klingon D7 and I took the Fed CA.
Well, being new to the game he charged right into close range and I promptly missed with my photon torps (bad die rolls) and didn't do very well with my phasers either. I managed a few internal hits including a disruptor and he was a little discouraged but I told him the fight was nowhere close to finished.
He then managed to get on my six and pummel my ship with excellent phaser shots and overloaded disruptors. He repaired his damaged disruptor and hit me again while I was seriously damaged with weapon and power problems (he did very well with his damage rolls!!!).
As for tactics he didn't know the usual "sabre dance" approach but he's an excellent Warhawk player on the PS3 and fully understands dogfight tactics. He used his superior turn mode to good effect as a result.
He's definitely hooked and has been pouring over the Romulan ships for our next game. He's also very pleased that he can beat dad in Warhawk AND Fed Commander!
(And Street Fighter IV for that matter!)

Sorry, Scoutdad. I couldn't resist a good joke...

Phocuswright Research
U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition
While the U.S. economy showed clear signs of recovery in 2012, there were enough mixed signals to make vacation decisions difficult for many Americans. Through a longitudinal analysis, Phocuswright's U.S. Consumer Travel Report Fifth Edition examines traveler behavior along each step of the travel planning process - from the media travelers rely on to make destination and product decisions, to the channels they use to book and share their trip experiences. Key metrics include frequency and duration of trips, travel expenditure and travel component purchases, and travel intentions for the coming year.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Twelfth Edition
While the economy - and the travel industry - didn't improve as much in 2012 as everyone hoped, U.S. travelers remain resilient. Phocuswright's U.S. Online Travel Overview Twelfth Edition hashes out the impact of the current economic uncertainty on the industry and delves into the dynamics of the industry's near future. In addition to market sizing and growth forecasts by travel segment and distribution channel - including mobile - the report tracks the technology trends that will shape the industry through 2014.

Travel Innovation and Technology Trends: 2012 and Beyond
Heads up, travel companies: 2012's host of technology trends – including new developments in social e-commerce, business intelligence and content fragmentation – will have huge effects on the future of travel distribution.

When They Get There (and Why They Go): Activities, Attractions, Events and Tours
While U.S. travelers spent nearly $27 billion on travel activities, attractions, events and tours in 2009, these activities have failed to penetrate and participate in the broader travel distribution ecosystem. This report analyzes the travel opportunity for events and activities in the U.S., and identifies opportunities and challenges for travel suppliers, distributors and technology providers.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Cruise
The cruise industry is experiencing a modest but welcome recovery in 2010 after a brutal 2009. The recession and subsequent collapse of demand forced cruise lines to slash prices, while the H1N1 crisis in Mexico in the first half of the year effectively killed a major destination market and created itinerary chaos in the Caribbean market. But the crisis has abated.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Online Travel Agencies
Like umbrella sales on a rainy day, OTAs do best when inclement conditions dampen the travel marketplace. But despite the countercyclical boost, the OTA segment as a whole skidded off its growth track for the first time in 2009. The decline was inconsistent across companies, however, and share shifts between the major players concentrated the loss to certain brands, while other brands managed to buck the trend.

U.S. Online Travel Overview Tenth Edition: Airlines
Although 2008 and 2009 were among the worst years for U.S. airlines, 2010 is shaping up to be among the best. The 2008 oil price spike, which led to untenable fuel prices for airlines, was followed by a steep economic recession. The result was a dramatic decline in corporate demand for travel and, for airlines, those precious premium customers.

Latest update : 2012-05-14
Exporting the German model?
The debate about growth in Europe is in full swing - with more and more talk of growth, rather than austerity. In Germany, many say growth can only be found through structural reform - such as labour market reforms passed by Gerhard Schröder's government a decade ago. These so-called Hartz reforms are widely credited with gradually reducing unemployment - but many say they have caused problems as well, with low paid part-time jobs becoming the norm.
