No More Mr. Nice Guy: Industry Cracks Down On Internet Piracy
The FBI crackdown on Internet piracy apparently isn't stopping very many people from illegally downloading movies, music and other copyrighted material. Internet Service Providers are now going after the thieves, and they have ways of hitting them where it will hurt the most — in their PC's.
Consumers who illegally download copyrighted films, music or television shows could be found and stopped very quickly under a new anti-piracy initiative the Internet industry announced this week.
Internet service providers, including Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision Systems, and AT&T have agreed to start alerting their customers and issuing warnings when it appears their account is used for illegal downloading. Warnings will come as pop-up messages or in e-mails.
If the warnings don't stop the suspected illegal activity, the provider won't cut off the service, but it will slow the customer's Internet speed down to a crawl, and restrict the customer's Internet access until he or she contacts the company and agrees to stop the illegal downloading.
The ISP group says online piracy costs the U.S. economy more than 373,000 jobs, $16 billion in lost earnings and $3 billion in tax revenue each year.

Industry officials say they believe most people who download illegally will stop once they're warned about the consequences, which could include criminal prosecution under federal law.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
The Insurance Bureau of Canada has partnered with the Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers as another measure to fight insurance fraud in the province.Anonymous tips sent to Crime Stoppers will now be sent both to police and to IBC's Investigative Services department. The idea is to better streamline the fraud reporting process.
"Anyone who may have information on fraud should remember that Crime Stoppers guarantees anonymity and you don't have to appear in court as a witness," David Forster, president of Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers noted."We also offer a reward for information that solves a crime which has proven to be effective."Auto insurance fraud is a hot topic in Ontario, where an Anti-Fraud Task Force has been established by the provincial government and other stakeholders. Crime Stoppers' hotline number 1-800-222-TIPS is well known and universal in all of North America, and anonymous tips can be submitted online atwww.tipsubmit.comIBC also has its own tip line at 1-877-IBC-TIPS and fraud tips can be submitted through its website as well.

To compare interval cancer rates, sensitivity and specificity of breast cancer screening between women with moderate or strong family history and women without a family history.
From 1996 to 1997, 115,460 women aged 50 to 69 screened by the Ontario Breast Screening Program, offering eligible women screening with mammography and clinical breast examination, were examined. Women were followed for up to 12 months after their screening examination. Family history definitions were based on the number of affected first degree relatives and their ages at diagnosis. Multivariate analysis was conducted to adjust for potential confounding variables.
Interval cancer rates increased across family history groups and were greatest in women with a strong family history. The rate ratio (RR) for interval cancer rate in women with a strong family history compared to women without a family history approached significance (RR=2.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.97–5.34), while for women with a moderate family history it did not (RR=1.37, 95% CI 0.62–3.04). A slightly but not significantly lower sensitivity was observed in women with a strong family history compared to women without a family history. There was little variation in specificity across family history groups.
Screening was able to detect a large proportion of invasive breast cancers in women with a family history, indicating their potential to benefit from regular breast cancer screening. However, due to increased interval cancer rates, screening with one-year intervals may be important even in an older population of women with a family history.
