Under Siege: Secure Web Development
Arne Blankerts | 05/16/2014
Websites are under siege. Constantly. Either by deliberate attacks or due to probing scripts, looking for new victims. Most frameworks provide solutions to counter common attack vectors, ensuring that otherwise typical mistakes do not lead into a vulnerability. But there is more to writing secure applications than basic input sanitizing and output escaping. Insecure data persistence, flaws in the handling of authentication and authorization, or trivial implementation quirks may render any protection mechanism useless.
In this training you will learn the rules you need to follow when developing applications that are secure by design. You will also learn how to implement those rules, protecting your users as well as your site from harm.
PHP Day
As part of our sponsoring of the PHP Unconference Europe we offer two full-day trainings on May 16, 2014.
Stefan Priebsch can offer advice when PHP projects have become confusing and unclear. Based on his extensive experience and knowledge, he will offer solutions to your problem.
Arne Blankerts ensures security in your PHP projects, security that you can rely on. His comprehensive experience is highly valued by international enterprises.

Kristen Johnson's fourth-grade students at Newport Coast Elementary love to give her family good news over speakerphone. On Tuesday morning, they gave her mother a big "Kristen won teacher of the year for the district!"
Johnson and TeWinkle Intermediate School math teacher Yassi Motamed were surprised at their schools by officials from the Newport-Mesa Unified School District and from the Newport-Mesa Federation of Teachers, which awarded them districtwide teacher of the year honors for their grade levels.
From Alaska, Johnson's mother offered congratulations and told district superintendent Fred Navarro her daughter deserved the prize.
"I have a really big heart and I love my kids unconditionally. I don't care what your status is or where you come from," said Johnson, when asked what made her successful. "Strive against yourself. Honor, integrity, respect is huge."
The teachers were selected after a long application and vetting process, according to Federation of Teachers president Kimberly Claytor.
After being nominated and handing in notebooks that demonstrate their teaching, five intermediate teachers and five elementary teachers are observed in the classroom and interviewed.
"I think we all agreed that in the classroom – she was teaching math to seventh and eighth graders – we all wanted to be her students," Claytor said of Motamed.
Motamed thanked her colleagues and said she tries to teach to the individual students' needs. Ultimately, Motamed said wants them to know "they have opportunities. They don't have to do what they're in line to do. They have the world at their hands."
The teachers will go on to represent the district at a countywide teacher of the year competition, or the "teacher Olympics," as one of Johnson's students deemed it. Among the yearlong slate of events is a free trip to Disneyland.

Ten-year-old Vanis Buckholz, of Corona del Mar, captivated the Newport Beach City Council during a short presentation about his recycling business.
Vanis, a Harbor View fourth-grader, was invited to speak to the council Jan. 22 about his My Recycler business that he founded at age 7 after learning about Earth Day at school.
"I was really surprised at how much stuff we threw away," Vanis told the council.
He began collecting recyclables from friends and neighbors, then expanded his route to include local businesses, the OASIS Senior Center and the Corona del Mar post office.
As the business grew, Vanis added a trailer to his bicycle for collections, and his parents drive for pickups that are farther away and for regular trips to a recycling center in Santa Ana.

So yesterday after work my brother "trainer" called and asked if I wanted to meet him at the gym at 8 p.m.
Sure, no problem. I thought we would get in our 24 minute cardio, 15-20 minutes of strength and home in under an hour.
Yeah right. This is my brother the exercise junkie I'm talking about.
I beat him there so I warmed up on the new Octane Lateral X they added when they made the move to their larger/new location. This is a pretty darn cool elliptical machine that makes me feel like I am getting a pretty full workout.
Then we hit the weight machines. And by hit I mean we spent more than an hour in that room. I did everything but abs (that will be tomorrow's workout). He corrected my stance, showed me how to get more out of my movements and complained that he couldn't do as many inner thigh reps as I could.
Legs for days baby, legs for days.
Then is where the humor came in. We were trying our hand at the heavy ropes. He was trying to show me how to use just upper body/arm strength to throw the ropes down and create the ripple all the way to the end. I struggled but managed to do 25 of my 30 second turn...then instead of single arm throws we did double arm throws. He went first and even he was struggling by the end.
Then came my turn.
Apparently since I lack a lot of arm strength, I took to moving my back and hips back and forth, thrusting motion, instead of using my arms, and my brother just lost it laughing. I tried my hardest to finish out the 30 second but I began laughing pretty hard too. He demonstrated how I was doing it and then said "Sorry, I shouldn't laugh and I promised not to laugh at you or judge you, but it just looked so funny!"
He then patted me on the back and said "You still did a really great job, and after a few more months you will do those ropes no problem, and no pelvic thrusts needed."
We cooled off with 10 minutes of light cardio...me on the recumbent and he on the stair step machine and then I went home while he did an abdominal workout.
I never thought I would have so much fun at the gym with my brother and be able to laugh at myself in that way.
So earlier this week, the scale did not match how I felt. I felt thinner and that everything fit better and that scale just didn't agree.
This morning however, when I weighed in for my 5 percent challenge, it showed another 1.5 pounds down! Yay! I also like the whole clothes fitting better and feeling thinner thing though too.
This weekend has been a blast. Grilled out last night then tuned in to mariomarathon 7...a great fundraiser for Child's Play (gives toys, books and games to kids in hospitals and shelters). Stayed up too late, slept in. Then I went to a grown up swimming pool with my sister and friends. Swim up bar (only had one drink though), pool chairs, in water bar stools and a band on the stage all day.
I am now slightly fried...because well apparently we were too cool for sunscreen. Oh well. It was fun as hell!
As of this week I am down to three prescriptions a day:
My hypertension meds, my hypothyroid meds and my anti-anxiety meds
I have dropped my antibiotics, stomach pain killers, daily acid reducer and have cut out my birth control this week. The choice to drop my BC came because after nearly 7 years on it, I really want the hormones out of my system. I want to see how I feel off of them. Still definitely is preventing pregnancy at this point, however, since two of my three meds are not baby friendly.
Speaking of babies. My husband's cousin's wife announced this week on Facebook that she is 10 weeks along. She had two miscarriages last year and as of now her and baby are doing great. This made me smile...and then cry.
I KNOW it is in God's hands. And I feel deep down in my soul that my time is coming, and not so far away. I just have this ache when I see a baby. Or a picture of a baby. Or a baby bump. Or sonogram photo. Or little booties.
I was talking to my brother the other day after a particularly hard work out. We made our favorite spicy sausage pasta (healthier version, go us) and were sitting and eating and we were discussing motivation, losing motivation and the barriers to weight loss. I just read an article on SparkPeople about emotional roadblocks to losing weight and getting healthier.
I completely understand this emotional road block thing. I get it. Totally get it. Those things in our lives that need to wait until the weight is gone and health is regained can be scary. Take my situation for instance. I have baby fever right now. Everywhere I turn someone has a baby or is posting their first sonograms on Facebook. And I am like 90 percent happy for them and 10 percent utterly jealous, miserable and sad. OK, maybe 75-25 on some days. I know that for us to safely have a baby I have to be healthier, and I am well on my way to being healthy enough for pregnancy. In the back of my head though there is this little voice. Small, but powerful.
"What if you lose all your weight and your husband still isn't ready for children?
"What if you lose all your weight and you can't get pregnant and you have wasted all these years of fertility being fat?"
"What if you lose all this weight and you still aren't healthy enough to be pregnant?"
You see how it goes. The snowball effect happens. Your thoughts jump to the worst conclusion. And as long as you stay fat. As long as you stay overweight. You will never need to see those "what ifs" realized. It's irrational. It's crazy. And in my moments of clarity I can see how ridiculous it is. But for better or worse, those thoughts and feelings are there. I get this "what's the point" attitude. I know I struggle with this and am trying to stave off self-sabotage, but let me tell you, it ain't easy.
So to all my friends and family celebrating their new additions to the family, be it current or future. I apologize if I don't jump right in with a congrats. I'm sorry if I don't smile more when I see you with your newborn. Just know that I am thrilled for you.
I just want it for myself.
luck�y1 [luhk-ee]
adjective, luck�i�er, luck�i�est.
1. having or marked by good luck; fortunate: That was my lucky day.
2. happening fortunately: a lucky accident.
3. bringing or foretelling good luck, or supposed to do so: a lucky penny
My definition of lucky is a little different. Instead, my definition of lucky who includes a younger brother. I used to think he was just "blessed" with athleticism, lucky enough to be in shape, and just happened to be the only one of us kids to get a high metabolism. Some of this is true. He does have a lot of natural, raw athletic talent. I was born pigeon-toed and clumsy. Most of the rest, however, isn't about luck. It's about determination and drive. He TRIES to stay healthy. Works hard for the body he has and has had discipline that I just didn't.
Some of it is luck, but a lot of it is just the person he is.
How I am lucky is now I am benefiting from the drive he has. When he went away for basic training and AIT for the National Guard, not only did he put even more hard work and effort into being the best version of himself, something triggered in him. He suddenly felt it was his purpose to not only get himself in the best shape of his life, but drag us along for the ride.
He came home determined, he wanted his whole family to get on a path to wellness, fitness and good general health. Then that spread to his family and friends. Then that spread to pretty much everyone he meets.
A few weeks ago I "ran" a 5K with my sister and a couple friends. My brother, who could run circles around most people, decided to stay with us the entire race, rather than try for his PR. He ended up coaching my sister through the race, making her run in spurts. Everyone kept saying "wow she brought her trainer along." It's true that my brother wants to be a personal trainer or athletic trainer after the army and college, but he wasn't there as her trainer, he was there as her loving little brother.
This week that little brother has started working out with me, using the CU24 level 1 DVDs by Advocare. Matt expected them to be a decent work out, and probably tough on those of us who are out of shape, and it was. But more than that, they had different levels and endurance phases for all levels of fitness, and my athletic, army-trained brother was panting and sweating and cursing, just as much as I was by the end of the work-out. Day 2's workout was even harder.
We cheered each other on, yelled at the screen together. Shared a few tricks and secrets to recovery after a hard work out (seriously my quads are so angry right now). It was great. And at the end of the day, I have my brother there, refusing to give up, Refusing to quit. Refusing to let ME give up or quit.
So nope, I don't need a personal trainer. I have something much better. I have my brother.

BT improves position as a leader in Gartner's Global Network Service Providers Magic Quadrant
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Positioned as leader for the tenth time, based on 'Completeness of Vision' and 'Ability to Execute'.
BT today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers for the tenth time.
According to Gartner, "the number of organizations requiring global networking services continues to grow, due to globalization and the growing adoption of cloud services, which are often hosted in different markets from the point of consumption. Organizations' appetite for more bandwidth shows no signs of diminishing, with video machine-to-machine communications and big data, coupled with IT centralization, as the primary drivers. Reliability and performance control are growing in importance as business processes become ever more IT-dependent; in addition, IT architectures (such as thin-client computing) place ever greater reliance on the network."
Gartner states that, in such a context, "leaders have a full portfolio of voice and data products, coupled with above-average service and support, wide global coverage, and competitive pricing. They have a strong vision that includes adopting more information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities, which is a strategy they articulate clearly and openly."
Luis Alvarez, chief executive BT Global Services, said: "I am proud that we have improved our leadership position in such a critical report. This is the tenth time we are positioned in that quadrant and comes less than six months after we were positioned as a leader in Gartner's global communications outsourcing and professional services magic quadrant 1. In order to continue improving our leadership position, we are working hard to further progress in terms of service quality, pricing and track record, helping our global customers successfully address issues of infrastructure, language and culture all around the world. We are also working to further refine a clear and evolving geographic strategy to meet changing customer needs. I believe that this report shows that Gartner recognizes our strengths in our ability to execute as well as the completeness of our vision."

PARADISO has five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, including a sunken tub. Every room has a cable TV, clock radio, ceiling fan and there is central A/C throughout. There are two master suites with king-sized beds, two queen-sized bedrooms and a Peter Pan and Tinkerbell room with twin-beds. There is also a queen-sized pullout couch and pack-n-play crib, so 13 can sleep happily.

Our family is Kevin + Linn, Kevin + Kate (+ 4 children), Keith + Kristin (+ 2 daughters). Together we own 'Paradiso' so that we can all enjoy a beautiful home in a great location. :)
Kevin Kelley purchased this house in 2006
After years of family vacations in hotels in central Florida, we decided to rent a house. We'd never stay at a hotel again and decided to buy 'Paradiso' as a family. Together we have put our hearts into our home to try to make it as fun and comfortable as possible for guests.
Hello Kevin/ Kristin/ Leslie,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for letting my family rent your house in Florida. Your house exceeded our expectations, was exceptionally beautiful/ clean, the management was very helpful, all info needed for our vacation was readily available at the house, and we really enjoyed our stay there. I also would like to thank you for all the accommodations you have provided, my family and I appreciate it so much. We definitely would like to rent your house again in the near future… Again, Thank you…

The youth of today need to be prepared for the world of tomorrow, on this I think we can all agree.
There is no doubt that television and the Internet have made the children of today more knowledgeable than the children of yesteryear, but this has come at a price.
I am very torn by the current scandals rocking the National Football League. Besides the incredibly stupid rules change that makes every kickoff go out the back of the end zone, the behavior of several players has badly tarnished the NFL's reputation.
Don't you know we got smart bombs?
On Facebook last week, I happened upon a post in the SCV Forum that triggered a lively debate over the "threat" big government poses to American business.
Growing up, I heard my parents talk often about certain actions being "common courtesy."
Gov. Jerry Brown keeps declaring the "California Comeback." Whether I talk to small business owners, students or seniors, no one else shares that view.
It is with great concern that I am writing about the demands the tea party, Libertarians, and the conservative wing of the Republican Party call "ending big government."
For several decades, climate scientists have been amassing a vast amount of evidence that we are in an unprecedented period of global warming, all life forms on this planet are in extreme danger, and humans bear the greatest responsibility for producing the greenhouse gases at the heart of the problem.
We've all heard of leaders who put their fingers in the wind to determine which way the political breeze is blowing before deciding what to do. And while this smacks of pragmatism, it also describes one theory of ethical behavior.
On this anniversary of 9/11, it seems there is more to be concerned about now than to alleviate us from the wounds inflicted 13 years ago.
This week is National Suicide Prevention Week. Locally, suicide has been a prevalent topic in Santa Clarita for several months now, and with good reason.
It so happened that this last Friday, Carrie and I had a chance to visit the Stonehenge site in England. Stonehenge is, of course, that ancient collection of giant stone pillars all arranged in a wide circle about half a football field wide standing all alone in a vast expanse of farmland in the middle of nowhere.
We have recently seen illustrative reactions to behavior by Americans with perceived grievances against the government, first in the aptly named Bunkerville, Nevada, and then in Ferguson, Missouri.
There is an old statement that goes like this: "He's picking up pennies and letting the dollars float by." It refers to the tendency of some to pay attention to little things while the big things escape their notice.
A business friend of mine sent me a photo of a large blue ARCO sign the other day. "$2.49 $2.59 $2.69, it called out joyously to all with eyes to see! I considered all the money you and I and everyone else is saving and somewhat sacrilegiously exuberated, "Joy to the World!"
In a twist of unbelievable irony, Planned Parenthood recently joined the #BlackLivesMatter Twitter protest, tweeting that they were "standing in solidarity with" the #Ferguson protestors in Washington, D.C.
The "lame duck" Congress limped to an end and was able, despite gridlock, to make some accomplishments.
Last Saturday, I found myself sharing a New York City subway train with protesters from the Millions March and drunken revelers from SantaCon. Both events drew comparable-sized crowds, hovering around 25,000 participants each. Both ended up on the tiny island of Manhattan on the same day. And this coincidence is a perfect metaphor for Christmas this year.
It doesn't happen often but recently I ran into someone who reads this column regularly. After thanking her for some encouraging comments, I asked "what would like to read about in my column?" She replied, "tell us what makes life good for you." So here it is. But I'm going even further and suggesting these three loves as the essential components of any healthy, satisfying, and significant life.
I applaud Assemblyman Scott Wilk's introduction of AB 6, that if passed, would allow the voters to decide in November 2016 if they want to terminate the High-Speed Rail Project and re-purpose $8 billion in approved funds to address the $12 billion deficit in school construction for K-12 and higher education.
On "Meet the Press" on Sunday, a snarling and smirking Dick Cheney defended his part of America's slide to from Shining City on a Hill to Renowned International Torture State.
I almost didn't put Christmas lights on the house this year.
When is torture not torture? When Dick Cheney redefines the word to defend his own disgraceful legacy.
A lump of coal? Maybe a jar of crude?
I wish to comment on Donna Brazile's op-ed in The Signal on Dec. 8 entitled "What will it take to rebuild trust?"
I understand our community leaders' desire to protect the area from a "truck-clogged Highway 14 commute punctuated by occasional bits of flying gravel and scented with a big dose of diesel exhaust" caused by an open Cemex sand-and-gravel mine proposed for Canyon Country, as The Signal Editorial Board described Sunday.
Several months ago my friends, and even those whom I barely know, asked if I was really in Turkey and had lost my wallet and ID.
My husband and I came back not long ago from our vacation in Europe.
"Hasta La Vista, Baby." Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar in "Terminator 2"

The Winner's Curse
Regardless of whether there is a first price auction or second auction (Vickery Auction), in the real world, bidders often have incomplete information. Because of the discrepancy of information, they may either overbid or the value of the thing they were bidding on is actually worth less than expected. In both ways, the winner overpays for the item suffers a loss. Hence, if bidders keep the winner's curse in mind when they bid, they will not overpay for the item by slightly shading their bids.
It is said that the first instance that the winner's curse was brought up was by researchers for the petroleum industry in the 1950s. In fact, in 1971 employees at ARCO noticed that oil companies bidding on offshore drilling rights (first-price auctions) were receiving relatively low returns on their investments. They often found that there were a lot less oil underground than initially thought. The winner's curse is also frequently used in studies done on baseball contracts. Researchers were investigating the relationship between the value of the player versus his potential performance.
The winner's curse is rooted in a decision maker's failure to take into account all the information when making a decision. In some cases this is because they don't know the actual value of the item. As a result, they have to make the best guess at the true value of the item. The winner of the auction is the highest bidder (at first price or second price based on auction) and will slightly overvalue the asset. So, although the winner "wins," he or she actually suffers a net lost. Furthermore, as more and more bidders become involved, the winner's curse becomes even more pronounced since the winner has to outbid even more competitors. In other words, as there are more bidders, the distribution of their bids become more spread out and thus the value the winner bids is farther away from the true value.
The concept of the winner's curse can also be explained through these following examples
Money Jar
Imagine you have a 2 gallon water jug filled with pennies, totally up to $30. Bidders, not knowing the true value of the jug bid for it. They have no other information except that they know how large the container is. Then, bidders, one after another, bid for the jug. It is safe to assume that the more bidders we have, the closer to a bell shaped curve with the average bid being around $30 (wisdom of crowds) if they truly guess how much the jug is worth. However, regardless of the auction being first or second price, the winner will over pay for the jug.
When bidding on a smaller item, bidders may forget to take into account of shipping. As a result, they will overpay for the item because of the additional cost.
In an initial public offering, it is difficult to predict whether the business in question will raise the price of the stock beyond the original price. In this instance, bidders need to carefully evaluate what the future value of the company or suffer a loss. Clearly, if the company doesn't fare well (winner overvalued the stock), the price of its stocks will decrease and the purchaser will lose money.
Implications and Strategy
The winner's curse is not necessarily a negative thing. If bidders take into account that
- They do not have all the information about competitors
- Do not have all the information about item
- There may be multiple bidders
Bid Shading
Because of the reasons above bidders may be likely shade their bid. The more bidders that are involved, the more likely a bidder is going to hedge his or her bet. If everyone hedges their bids, because they have taken into account the winner's curse, they will be able to avoid the imminent loss of revenue. In this case, it is better to not win the bid than to lose money.
In the case with 1st price auctions, the optimal strategy is to shade your bid in order to receive a payoff. The more you shade you bids, the larger the payoff. However, the trade-off is that a lower bet will result in a lower probability of winning. If you bid too high, you won't receive that much payoff in the case that you do win. But, once you taken the Winner's Curse into consideration, it is profitable to shade your bets even more because of the uncertainty in information.
For 2nd price auctions, the optimal strategy is to bid your true value as discussed in the textbook. If you overbid your valuation, you will have a negative payoff and if you underbid your valuation, you would not win the auction. However, with the presence of Winner's Curse, there might just be too much uncertainty for there to be too much competition. Hence, shading your bid will allow you to live in the lower part of the bid dispersion with less demand. However, as shown earlier, if there was a lot of competition, you would still be better off at not losing money by shading your bid.

mixing hair and blood into paint …. that's creepy (if he actually did that) …. for an additional cost.
wjbill49 commented on the blog post Sunday Talking Heads: January 1, 2012
who watches these shows any more? It is always the same tired old crew
wjbill49 commented on the blog post MSM Conspiring With Rick Santorum To Crush His Family's Hopes And Dreams Once Again
If you are not drinking craft beer made by local micro's your just supporting "the man" …. Keystone Light? Really?
wjbill49 commented on the blog post "I have fully lost faith in the leadership of my parents' generation"
Does not seem right to condemn a whole generation because this happened? Is there not "problems" with each generation? when viewed by the younger or older generation?
A better discussion is what drives these behaviors? Greed? Hate? Fear? and why?
wjbill49 commented on the blog post And in about 2014 the NYPD will be paying how much?
Conservatives love it when state, local, federal government agencies have to pay out any kind of settlement, just bleeds some more money from them so that is all good ….. the citizens will (mostly) never know and it will be just another talking point about how government is incompetent. Police, secret service, defense will never have to fear about cutbacks because they protect those in charge of everything from those who are not in charge.
wjbill49 commented on the blog post Bernie Sanders to Primary Obama? Don't Make Me Laugh
How come no D ever puts a legislative "hold" on anything or uses the filibuster? Why is it always the R that does these things? How come a D never calls an R "unamerican" by name? How come a D never says an R does not support the troops and therefore hates America?
If there is anyone left without greed for money or power I wish he or she would hold this legislation, let the default happen and in two days there would be a debt ceiling raised without any "attachments" ….. but what do I know I am only a concerned citizen.
wjbill49 commented on the blog post Poll Numbers Show Public Prefers Revenue Solutions to Cuts, But All of Them Have Been Abandoned
the budget put forth by the progressive caucus did a pretty good job in reducing spending and restoring tax rates to pre Bush levels. I just wish they would have gotten rid of the deduction for church giving and 2nd and 3rd home mortgage interest deducts. If you want to give to a church … go ahead but why should the gov't subsidize it?
wjbill49 commented on the blog post And the Best Performing Ad to Save Social Security and Medicare Is…
thank you Jane Hamsher and all of FDL for doing what you do!
wjbill49 commented on the diary post Jane on Ed's Show Tonight – updated with the video by Elliott.
Excellent point Joel …. agree with all 3 of those attributes, in addition I believe it is her brain that carries the day! Esp. when it must get so old talking to the type of people she has to interface with in the media …. ugh!
wjbill49 commented on the diary post Jane on Ed's Show Tonight – updated with the video by Elliott.
I liked it Jane Hamsher, you did well even tho it is hard to talk over Big Ed when he wants the stage/mic. WelshTerrier2 and Username nailed it pretty much about Ed.
I know what I will do with my ballot in 2012 and it will personally satisfying, more than it has been from 2008.
wjbill49 commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
Not sure I can get excited about the judicial nominations just because they are Obama's nominations, nor just because they are gay. Do you think this judge could be open to agreeing with Citizens United? or that Wal_Mart is the best thing for the country?
wjbill49 commented on the blog post The Breaking Point
Good luck Jane Hamsher ….. tough sledding from here on as the deck seems stacked pretty well in favor of the status quo. But I will do what I can!

we should all start to understand that nothing is easy …. ever
wjbill49 commented on the blog post Come Saturday Morning: This and That
Good old days ….. does anyone else get these emails that go on and on about the good old days? (usually the 50′s or early 60′s)? Usually what a great place kids had to grow up around and baseball and cars and how wonderful life is/was?
None of these ever address the segregation problems during the time or that unions were very strong during that time or that a coat hanger was used as a method of birth control or how women were 2nd class citizens or how the wealth class was only earning 10x the average salary not 400x ….
I guess it is selective memory and it enhances how corrupted the country they want back has become.

health services research communities on data standards issues. This consortium serves as a mechanism for ongoing representation of public health and health services research interests in HIPAA implementation and other data standards–setting processes. Its membership comprises a variety of state-based public health data organizations, health services research organizations, federal public health representatives (e.g., CDC, AHRQ, and CMS), managed care organizations, business coalitions, and consumer groups. The consortium's tasks have included an ad hoc work group on External Causes of Injury Codes (E-Codes), which will evaluate current practices in E-Codes collection and propose next steps to improve E-Codes reporting in discharge data systems and electronic reporting standards. Two other consortium work groups recently developed a standardized format as a guide for reporting health care service data. This guide is compatible with the health claim transaction set standards identified by HIPAA. It is intended to provide assistance in developing and executing the electronic transfer of health care systems data for reporting purposes to local, state, and federal agencies that use the data for monitoring utilization rates, assessing patterns of health care quality and access, and other purposes required by legislative and regulatory mandates. Given the past difficulties and financial constraints of state-based public health organizations, the consortium could serve as one of the key facilitators helping states to implement national data standards for the NHII and guiding implementation of the common format for reporting to the AHRQ national patient safety database.
In addition to the efforts of NCVHS, other activities to promotion and implement data standards are being conducted in the private sector. The Markle Foundation's Connecting for Health initiative is focusing on building consensus around and accelerating the development of clinical data standards. In June 2003, this initiative released the results of a 9-month collaborative effort focused on key aspects of the adoption of clinical data standards, which included identifying strategies and solutions for the secure and private transmission of medical information and actively working to understand what consumers will need and expect from an interconnected electronic health system.
Another recent private-sector effort in the area of promotion and implementation of data standards is the National Alliance for Health Information Technology, founded in June 2002 by the American Hospital Associa-

Www.trimeris.com (Graphic: Business Wire)
Synageva BioPharma Corp., a privately held biopharmaceutical company developing therapeutic products for rare disorders ("Synageva"), and Trimeris, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRMS) ("Trimeris"), announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Synageva will merge with Trimeris in an all-stock transaction. Upon closing, the combined company will be named Synageva BioPharma Corp., and will operate under the leadership of the Synageva management team with Sanj K. Patel serving as the President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the company's board of directors will have representatives from both the existing Synageva and Trimeris boards.
The merger will create a publicly-traded company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for patients with rare diseases and unmet medical need.
"The strategic combination of our two companies will allow Synageva to continue to aggressively advance our lead clinical program, SBC-102, an enzyme replacement therapy for LAL Deficiency," said Sanj K. Patel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Synageva BioPharma. "Since launching Synageva in 2008, we have made tremendous progress in building a promising pipeline of product candidates targeted at rare and devastating diseases. This transaction gives us access to significant financial resources while maintaining our focus on the goal of bringing our clinical development programs to commercialization as soon as possible."
Martin Mattingly, Chief Executive Officer of Trimeris, Inc. added, "We believe this newly combined company will have dramatic upside. The rare disease space offers very attractive opportunities for success due to the absence of effective therapies, the relatively small clinical trials, and the faster path to commercialization. We found the Synageva opportunity to be particularly compelling. The combined company will have a clinical stage asset with ownership of worldwide commercial rights, a portfolio of additional rare disease programs, substantial financial resources and a strong management team with prior experience in successfully bringing rare disease products to market."

carlypennylanediscovered my passion!
currently in ASL 3 in an interpreter training program and have found my calling. one of them, at least. 5 months ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
