why would you start your call minutes before your N&W starts anyway? whether your N&W starts at 6PM, 7PM or 9PM you should know better to put yourself in the safe side.. duh!
DUH right back at you, pal. This should be obvious to you, but it is not just the case of making outgoing calls. Phones do work both ways, i.e. a person can actually RECEIVE an incoming call before their N&W minutes begin.
BTW, did you bother to notice in that very first post I clearly admitted that my ignorance of the way Sprint handles N&W minutes differently than the other carriers was my own fault? Don't you realize that if a person has already ratted themselves out, you jumping in and bagging on them AFTER they already admitted their error just makes YOU look stupid?
I think if you CAREFULLY read the entire thread, (A) you would not need to ask the question you asked and (B) you might not be so arrogant or sarcastic. Read every word I posted in ALL of my postings of this thread and you'll see that.
Being self-employed, my phone is used for business as well as family calling, and in many cases it is not wise nor appropriate to refuse an incoming call. There are also many personal/family situations when a call has to be made when it has to be made, or the call must be answered right away.
For example, have you ever been responsible for the complete care of another person, everything from day-to-day issues of caregiving, up to and including making the life or death decision for them? You might be surprised to learn how many calls have to be made and received, at all times of day or night, when you're completely responsible for the care of another person who can not care for theirself.
Did it ever occur to you that some people in this world have daily responsibilities far greater than just choosing who to chat with next, and at what time to chat with them?
Did it ever occur to you that sometimes a person's schedule is forced upon them, unlike your life where apparently everything can be done according to your own choice?
No? I didn't think you'd considered anything but your own limited viewpoint.
Man, if you're not actually "gloopey1" posting under the name "genivrej", you must be closely related to "gloopey". Comprehension R not you.
Adios, my friend.

Discussion: Missing and murdered women of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine
I have added this page for the benefit of those posters who wish to discuss the cases involving the missing women and unsolved murders of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
Some initial thoughts:
1. When I started blogging in January 2002 there were a few vague references on the Internet to the Connecticut Valley killer. I did some posts about it… since that time it has really blossomed; there are all kinds of websites on the subject now, most notably Helena's page NH/VT/ME Unsolved Homicides: anyone just starting out NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY STUDY ALL THE INFORMATION ON HELENA'S PAGE.
2. I worked for months with State Troopers, SBIs from VT, NH, ME and Quebec's Surete du Quebec trying to get them to at least compare cases: There was no willingness, no sense of urgency for law enforcement agencies to do so.
3. Two years ago I worked with Dateline NBC for 6 months… I had them this close to doing a story about a possible cross border killer. It ended when my friend, Kim Rossmo gave his professional opinion that a cross border killer was improbable, because it defied the very nature of his theory of geographic profiling (that serial predators hunt close, but not too close to their homes).
4. Kim is right up to a point. If you look at typical behavior; home–job-recreation all within a stable locus, this makes sense. But what of other behavior? For instance I know many folks who live and work in the Eastern Townships of Quebec and their recreation is hunting, and this can take them deep into the Quebec interior, in some cases it takes them into the mountains of New England. What of folks whose occupations are truckers? So their work takes them along routes in Canada and the U.S. that run North-South (route 55 / HWY 91 and 93)?
The idea of a hunter / serial predator is not without precedence, and there have certainly been a number of documented cases of truckers who were also serial killers. Given that there are over 100 unsolved cases in the northern regions of these states the idea should certainly be entertained no matter how improbable.
5. Over the years I have stayed in touch with many of you, notably the families of Maura Murray and Brianna Maitland (they are the "latest" victims, and have garnered the most recent media attention).
So please use this site as a form for discussion, insight, knowledge management. I will do my best to keep things running, and to be the administrator for making connections, facilitating contacts.
6. The map contains locations and details for the following cases: Cheryl Peters, Joan Gray Rogers, Shari Lynn Roth, Angela Blouin, Pamela Brown, Pamela Webb, Maura Murray, Brianna Maitland, Audrey Groat, Kimberly Ann Moreau, Lynne Katheryn Schulze (Lynne Schulze), Barbara Agnew, Patricia Scoville, Crystal Perry, Susan Hannah, Sylvia Gray, and Louise Chaput.
Finally, this is a map I constructed of some of the cases in the northern areas of these states. I am open to including cases from the south, you just gotta send me a photo and some case details:

Good Morning John,
I had the opportunity to travel around NH/VT/ME during the month of October and many cases came to mind. I am currently in the process of organizing my notes, there's a lot to discuss!
There is a case in Allenstown, NH where the remains of a woman and three little girls were found in barrels in a wooded area of a campground during the mid eighties. (4) Jane Does and (3) are small children.
Maura Murray and Pamela Webb came to mind quite a bit while I was returning from Northern NH/VT via 302 to 93 South. Pamela Webb was abducted from the Maine Turnpike in 1999 and her remains were found in Franconia Notch eleven days later. 302 is a marked trucking route on the Maine Turnpike from Portland to 93 and 91.
As I am sure you are aware the FBI has made public the Highway Serial Killings Initiative which began operation in 2004 and I believe they have over 500 victims listed in their database.
I also came across a comprehensive article on Wikipedia about The Connecticut River Valley Murders that seems very much worth re-posting.
I remember seeing a recreation of one of the attempt murder/robbery of the connecticut river valley on unsolved mysteries. But I never heard any follow up on that. Has anyone ever heard anything about it??? As for the women and children found in in barrels at Bearbrook state park, I use to live around there and they could have been there for years. It's a big place.
Thanks Kim and Janet:
Added this:
I've made some updates to the map:
1. I added Patricia Scoville who was murdered in Stowe, Vermont. Vermont State Police recently used CODIS to make a DNA match and in April of 2005, they arrested Harold Godfrey, a 61-year-old Kirby man. He was convicted of aggravated murder and will spend the rest of his life in jail.
2. I updated the information on Pamela Brown. In February, 2009 police charged Theodor C. Caron, Jr., 47, of Barre, with Brown's murder based on 27-year-old DNA evidence from the body of Brown, who had been seen with Caron the night before she was found dead, according to court documents released Feb, 2009:
In the same article Vermont police reveal they are aggressively pursuing the case of Angela Blouin who died near the Quebec border. Det. Sgt. Jason Letourneau has spent two and a half years probing the unsolved homicide of Angela Blouin, whose body was found on the side a Derby road in the spring of 1993.
From this week's paper:
N.H.'s cold case unit will soon be in operation
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
CONCORD — Senior Asst. Attorney General Will Delker said Monday that he expects the state's newly formed cold case unit to become operational by the beginning of next week.
Delker said the unit was formed to investigate New Hampshire's nearly 100 unsolved murders. For the first three years the unit will be paid for through federal grants.
Delker said the Lakes Region has its share of unsolved homicides, including the 1970 murder of Francis Sidoti in Sanbornton, the 1991 murder of Lisa Begin Wright in Laconia, the 1990 murder of Greg LeFavre in Alton and the 1989 homicide 21-month-old Angela Hazelton in Meredith.
The 1971 unsolved rape and murder of Kathy Lynn Gloddy is perhaps one of the more public of the area's unsolved crimes and the efforts of her surviving sisters are one of the reasons the cold case unit was formed.
Delker said he has tentatively scheduled a media conference for Monday at 11 a.m. in the Attorney General's Office.
I really hope that this new cols-d case unit keeps people up to date on cold cases that are solved. It would be very interesting. There has been a case that a retired detective has been working on since 1974 of two girls that were found in Raymond NH. This detective has written two different books about this case and in the last book he actually names who he thinks the killer is.. the name of the books are JUSTICE DENEID and BEHIND THE BADGE by joseph houk. checking them out they aren't to bad………..
from today's AP:
Have you checked out the Maine State Police's new web-section on cold cases? They finally joined the cyber world:
Between this and New Hampshire's announcement of a cold case bureau being formed I say, thank you.
Now if we could only get New York state to play along. Their State Police's information is woefully stale (cases only date back to 1996). I have a friend in Buffalo who was instrumental in putting together that cities cld-case squad. I have a call in to him to see what's up with the NY State Police.
In looking at a lot of these cases I beginning to think there might be more in common with unsolveds in New York than in Maine, and this generally is due to highway patterns. Maine was, and is still largely isolated without a major interstate in the upper portion of the state, while Upper New York is curious for route 87 which spans the state up into Montreal.
Hi John,
Your latest entries prompted me to remember a case back in 1989, an abduction at a rest area along I-91 in Westminster Vermont where the victim was left along the roadside in Bronx, NY.
The article below touches on many of the points you mentioned.
From Pakark:
I agree that the law inforcement agencies are not doing really any re- investagating nor any investaging. They are just reading the files occasionally and hoping someone calls in and confesses. NH as of this month has a new Cold Case Unit… to me it is a joke because I do feel they really care.
I agree that there has to be a connection to more than one homicide because there are actually several more women around the "Conn. Valley" area and the east coast of NH and some are unidentified to date.
The number is staggering and shameful; 114 unsolved cases are listed on the New Hampshire Attorney General's new cold-case webpage. While anyone would be grateful for the State finally finding the political will to address the backlog of unresolved crimes – a testament to apathy and pubic service shirking – I can't help feel disgust that it has taken authorities this long to recognize – not only that they had a major problem – but that as public servants it was their responsibility to address it.
Some familiar cases here; of course Maura Murray; the unidentified remains – some children – of victims found in barrels; Louise Chaput, the Quebec hiker who was murdered in the white Mountains.
Nice to see the links to other cold case bureaus in neighboring states, but again we must ask, Why does New York State on list cases from 1996-forward? The state doesn't have a back log dating beyond 13 years?
Let's hope as some has suggested that this isn't just political window dressing, and that law enforcement makes an earnest effort to solve these crimes.
(to see a map of some of the victims click here)
pixie has left a new comment on the post "NH/VT/ME UNSOLVED HOMICIDES":
Carrie Moss was going out with my brother at the time of her death. She was a runaway and was staying with us. My sister myself and carrie went to a party one night with these new older guys out in NewBoston, my sister and I left in our own car, but Carrie wanted to ride with the guys. So she got into the van, and that was the last time anyone of us has heard or seen her. God Bless her soul.
What Happened to Sarah Rogers?:
SKs do cross the border somtimes. Coral Eugene Watts was one example. While he is not known to have killed anyone in Canada, it is thought with some certainty that he entered Canada and attacked women in Windsor on at least two different occassions. Both survived. This was in the late 1970s or early 1980s. His victim list in the US is probably over 40 dead, and at least one survivor. Corey Mitchell wrote a book on him about 3 or 4 years ago.
Police have a suspect in the case of Louise Chaput, the Sherbrooke social worker who disappeared and was found murdered in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 2001. NH police aren't saying much other than that the suspect is male and lived in the NH region at that time.
There is DNA evidence from the crime scene that could link the suspect.
– TVA film footage here:
NamUs under utilized by law enforcement:
I don't think Maura Murray was abducted I think she left on her own. The car accident was staged and someone met her there and she took all the liquor she just bought with her. Many of the other cases look like they are definitely related. Pamela Brown was strangled in Vermont on July 17, 1982. Her killer was found 27 Years later by DNA. His name is Theodor Caron Jr, arrested and convicted at 47 yrs old in Feb, 2009. So he was 20 when he killed Pamela. He should be looked at as a possible suspect in the Angela Blouin case and the Chery Peters case. Both were strangled in 1993. Also Pamela Webb was strangled in Franconia NH near the White Mountains in 1989. THere are 2 other cases that have same MO but he would have to be 16-17 when he committed them which is a possibility.They are Shari Lynn Roth and Joan Gray Rogers. He could have been the killer of all those women. Some detective should easily be able to figure this out. The other cases had many of them solved and a suspect indicted. Another case Audrey Groat could also be linked to Theodor Caron. The rest have suspects so Theodor Caron is probably the New England rapist. If they dont start linking him to all the other victims he will get out before we know it and start killing again. Can't the police do their jobs??
I agree with dolora about Maura Murray, I think she had to much pressure on her and just deceided to go missing. I think the call she made to the inn was just a ploy to throw off everybody.
Hi just thought i would tell you something.. This is twice now i've landed on your blog in the last 3 weeks looking for completely unrelated things. Spooky or what?
I went to high school with Pamela Webb and was shocked to hear of her murder. Oddly, I had moved to NH from Maine and was living in Bethlehem, NH, when this happened. She was a sweet, quiet, very pretty young woman. When I heard about Maura and then Brianna, it made me think that there could be a link. All dark haired and pretty. All disappeared, leaving their vehicle behind.
Interested in any updates on Louise Chaput, as we lived in North Conway at the time and one year planned to join the annual vigil then being held on the anniversary of the murder, but something intervened. Have always hoped they would find the killer. This was a horrendous crime that sent a chill through the White Mountain hiking community. She also was found so close to the trail head that it showed a very brazen attacker. Women should not hike alone! Please don't! Thanks.
New Murders
Two girls have been murdered in the northern NH & VT with eerie similarities in the last year. Krista Dittmeyer was murdered in Conway NH in April 2011. She fled her car, leaving her 14 month old child behind, who was unharmed. This week, almost exactly a year later, Melissa Jenkins of St Johnsbury, VT was found murdered. She had fled her car, leaving her two year old child behind, who was unharmed. Police say Krista's murder was "drug-related". No details of Melissa Jenkins' murder have been released yet.
I want to give you kudos for this site, it's very well done and obviously geared towards victims and their families. I've been disheartened to say the least to see how LE and society finds it so easy to dismiss people who are in real danger as 'suicidal'. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I can't see how that attitude will benefit anyone, especially if they;re wrong, amirite?
Good write-up. I absolutely appreciate this
website. Thanks!
Why weren't the police able to get anywhere by having half of a license plate??? And not to mention a sketch! Unbelievable

The primary focus of the remote monitoring industry is on the collection of data from patients. By placing a device on or near someone's body, we can get a continuous stream of information about how a person is breathing, beating, sweating, digesting and even thinking. Sensors are growing more powerful, smaller and easier to attach to a needy patient. At the same time, as the "Internet of things" are connecting machines together, the Internet of medical devices is turning each of us into an addressable URL. The promise of George Orwell's book "Nineteen Eighty-Four" with its dystopian society and big brother interventions maybe arriving through the doors of a medical clinic.
But extracting information from the human body is only half of the equation. Unlike the patient who comes into a hospital or clinic where paid professionals ensure that the patient is connected to the appropriate telemetric devices, remote monitoring ultimately depends on patients to make care happen. Sending the hospital home with the patient requires a different set of behaviors from the patient, not just the technology. Patients must move from passive receivers of care to active participants in their care plan delivery.
This past week I spoke at a conference called "Shaping the Future of MEMS (Micro-electro-mechanical sensors) and Sensors." We are probably most familiar with MEMS because this type of device allows us to adjust how we are holding our cell phone and have it automatically rotate the content to match the new orientation. This same type of technology can measure blood flow through a capillary or determine the orientation of a human body at a given point of time. Increasingly, these types of devices will allow us to understand what is happening with a patient or customer at any point in time.
The lunch keynote was given by Bnedetto Vigna, the EVP of MEMS and Sensors at STMicroelectronics. (STMicroelectronics is a strategic business partner of ours.) A major focus of his keynote was on the evolving nature of how people interact with machines. From the beginning of time (or at least the 1950s) until the invention of the mouse in the 1990s, people communicated with machines with some type of keyboard. Everything that we wanted a machine to do to had to be translated into some type of character sequence and communicated through a cumbersome process.
In the past decade, our ability to interact with machines has changed dramatically. Apple introduced us to Siri who now listens to our questions and finds us restaurants and then gives us spoken turn-by-turn directions. Microsoft Kinnect introduced us to a world where hand gestures can be used to play games and communicate without having to have a mouse or a keyboard serve as an intermediary. And this spring, Samsung introduced us to the Samsung Galaxy IV where the device itself can be tilted or twisted to take instructions. Users can twist and tilt the device to instruct it to go to the next page or next picture.
Over the next decade, body worn sensors will evolve to the point where their size, battery life, and sensitivity will become commoditized. Competition will force the creation of sensors that are lightweight, comfortable, low cost, and highly effective at measuring human vital signs of all types.
Increasingly, success in this marketplace will require a complete loop of communication between the mind of the patient and the "ears" of the devices that we put in place to listen. We will then be able to capture both hard measurements such as ECG and blood sugar as well as the experience of the patient who can report on what they feel is happening to them.
This past week I attended and spoke at the Wearable Technology Conference in San Francisco. While most of the events that Preventice attends are medical in nature, this conference included the larger the wearable sensor marketplace. Day 1 featured speaker topics ranging from battery technologies to Bluetooth standards to chip miniaturization. If someone had told me two years ago that I would be absorbed by a compelling presentation on emerging battery technologies I would never have believed them! But, extended battery life is a critical component of wearable devices and thus is an ongoing area of focus, investigation and improvement. The wide-range of components that make up a remote monitoring solution are truly amazing.
Several speakers talked about the importance of "fashion" as an aspect of the wearable sensor product category. We humans naturally come to think of clothing and jewelry as extensions of ourselves and of our personality. While these talks focused more on consumer devices, where vendors compete for consumer attention at a retail point of sale, I realized that the appearance of the device is critical in medical applications as well.
A great example of this can be found in another area of technology development. I recently read the biography of Steve Jobs. While Mr. Jobs can rightly be viewed as the inventor of the personal computer and the executioner of the music CD (or maybe record stores), he can also be given credit for revolutionizing personal electronics with style. Steve Jobs understood the incredible power of individual identification with things beyond our clothes, jewelry and hairstyles.
In many cases, the external fashion element will be missing. Devices such as our BodyGuardianTM are designed to-be-worn under clothing with little or no exposure to the outside world. For the user, a device that is potentially less visible is a key design benefit vs. a device with visible wires, sensors and indicator lights that communicate, "I'm sick." In other cases, devices may need to be worn around the arm or like a fully visible shirt. Being bold and visible may be seen as positive indicator and wearing the device is a badge that tells the world, "I'm healthy!" or a fitness buff. In either case, as product designers and manufacturers we should always assume that the appearance of the device matters to the person wearing it. Anything worn for more than a few hours actually becomes a part of the individual's persona—so the design and fashion do matter.
One of the outcomes of our early trials with the BodyGuardian Remote Monitoring System is the strong sense of connection that patients have with their device. They come to see it as "cool," "a friend" and "a protector" that keeps them safe. Keeping an eye to fashion can only serve to enhance the bond that our patients have with the technology that promises to improve their quality of life.
Who knows, maybe the first "Steve Jobs" of the wearable sensor industry will be known for technological advance and outstanding design.
By Michael Emerson, Senior Vice President of Marketing, PreventiceJune 27, 2013
Everyone knows that to truly contain healthcare costs that we will have to reduce the number of days that patients spend inside the four walls of traditional healthcare centers. The government of Denmark, which manages one of the most successful and well-respected healthcare systems in the world, is presently embarked on a massive rebuilding to effort to modernize its nationwide hospital system. One strategy? Reduce the number of patient beds by 20%. Twenty-five years ago, an effort like this would have added more beds, now beds are being removed.
The only way to make this work is to transition part of the care outside of the hospital and let patients receive a higher portion of their treatments while residing at home or intermediate care facility. (Assuming of course that demand will remain steady over this period of time.) As a result, the healthcare industry is now turning to remote monitoring, which allows some part of the care cycle to be sent home with patients, thus negating the need for them to be cared for under the inpatient model.
Unfortunately, much of the early research for this approach has been somewhat disappointing. Challenges relating to human factors, user adoption, and technological capabilities have all contributed to results that have shown promise, but not results. These early studies have caused some to ask the question if promise has gotten ahead of reality. Maybe the promise of remote monitoring is not much more than promise?
The good news is that this tide appears to be turning.
A recent study out of England, http://www.bmj.com/content/344/bmj.e3874 offers promise to the types of changes and results that can be obtained with the use of telemedicine types of technologies. On a rather large sample of more than 3,000 patients with COPD, CHF, and diabetes, they showed that compared to the control group, 7% less of the patients who were covered by remote monitoring technologies were admitted to the hospital.
So, what are some of the conclusions that we can draw from this study and others?
My company, Preventice, is presently involved in more than a dozen clinical trials that are looking how to quantify the medical and financial benefits of remote patient care. We clearly have seen clear examples of individuals who have had their care transformed by new types of life-saving and life-enhancing technologies. Some early learnings about this exciting new world.
We can't always send the hospital home with the patient. However, we can find many instances where we can do just that. We can shorten stays after surgery by a day or even two. We can bypass the hospitals for indications, like a-fib, that can be monitored from a distance. With a lot of new product development and insight from clinical trials, a cut of 20% of hospital days may become a reality over the next decade.
Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, introduced a new Facebook version of an Android phone this past week. The theme of his introduction—the first phone to be organized around people, not apps.
While I am not going to be the first to run out and endorse this new product with any of my hard cash, I do think he got something right. Our tolerance for "app count" has probably reached its limit. As the number of apps for either Android phones or iPhones now reaches into the hundreds of thousands, I am sure that our ability to assimilate more than a half dozen apps into our daily stream of life has already been reached.
However, I am confident that the whole notion of a phone experience that is organized around "you" certainly has some "legs." It also has some direct relevance for those of us who are designing applications for patients and customers in the social media era. Putting the individual at the center of the experience is the right place to start if our aim is to have patients engage with their care plans and prioritize the actions that we ask of them.
So where do we start, assuming we don't have the multi-million dollar marketing budget that Mr. Zuckerberg has at his disposal. First, we need to remember that the patient world is largely centered around the doctor and the healthcare provider that works on his/her behalf. All of our applications must incorporate information from the EMR systems that record doctor plans and prescriptions for care. Health applications that do not integrate with available information won't cut it with our customers who will quickly understand that your information is irrelevant.
Incorporating information from remote monitoring solutions is another big step. The current generation of listening devices put the patient at the center of the care process in a very literal way. Monitoring collects information in a near real-time basis and uses it to communicate to a health care organization which can use the information for better care. It also lets patients know that their body is communicating directly to a system that is putting that data to use on their behalf.
The Facebook Home concept also challenges those of us in the mHealth space to remember the social nature of the individuals who use our engagement solutions. Facebook users spend an average of over 6 hours a month tapped into the world's most popular social network. While patient's will never engage in our applications with the same fervor, we certainly can use the incredible drive of individuals to be social on our own behalf. Encouraging individuals to connect with their family and other connections to reinforce the regularity of care can be a major force on our behalf.
The just completed ACC (American College of Cardiology) conference in San Francisco provided insight into many new and exciting treatments for a wide variety of cardiac diseases. Because of our interest at Preventice in diseases relating to heart rhythm, several studies on drugs that treat this disease (or at least the symptoms of the disease) were particularly interesting.
Representatives from Boeringer-Ingelheim discussed results of a major study that showed that Pradaxa was significantly better at reducing the risk of ischemic stroke while avoiding any meaningful increase in hemorrhagic stroke when compared to warfarin. Pradaxa has been on the market for several years and it continues toestablish itself as a market leader. Another new drug for Afib, Eliqus, was just released to market by Bristol Meyer Squibb. Eliqus promises to reduce symptoms and actual occurrence of heart arrhythmias.
But one other study caught my attention—and not because it talked about something new, but because of what it had to say about something quite old—heart disease in ancient Egyptians. A study by xyz used a CT scan to examine 137 mummies that were believed to have dated back to about 5,000 years before the present time. They found that individuals, whether they came from privilege or from common folk, contained extensive evidence of cardiovascular disease.
So the ultimate question is whether or not new drugs, devices, and emerging technologies such as remote monitoring can begin to cure diseases that have plagued the human race prior to the onset of civilization. In some way, we struggle simply to keep up with the negative consequences of technology and affluence. New treatments must overcome the impact of modern society on our heart and health in general.
But I remain optimistic that we are winning the race and that patients will benefit from the emerging technologies that were in fulldisplay at ACC
The Mobile World Congress is purportedly the second largest technology conference in the world. It certainly appears to be the most bullish about the future of a connected human race.
It's a blur of technologies and acronyms. Trying to sort out the relevance of LTE, NFC, IP Backhaul and a handful of other new standards is a challenge to industry veterans. One thing is certain- the mobile industry is prepared to move data more places, faster and with a higher level of security than it did last year.
But a couple of human statistics really stood out. First, 400 million more people have access to a mobile phone than they do to electricity. Second, we expect to connect another billion humans to the mobile cloud in the next 3 years. I am sure that the gap between access to electricity and the phone network will only widen.
The human side of mobile health is equally apparent here as well. Much of our focus at Preventice is on the industrialized world where people can already afford a high level of health care. Remote monitoring solutions will further increase their quality of life and provide peace of mind that, should something happen; a doctor will know that immediate action is required.
Mobile health has the potential to bring high levels of care to billions of people that previously had no access to care. Visionary individuals talked to us about plans to use mobile technology to deliver care to tens of thousands of villages across central Africa and rural India. Rather than providing individuals with a smartphone, the plan is to provide the village with a phone that can in turn connect an entire community to high levels of care. In this model, one trained medical technician can serve a large community. When extra expertise is required, information can be sent to a doctor that might reside elsewhere in the country or somewhere else in the world.
Previous waves of technology dating back to the printing press and railroad added to the range of life experiences that were available to each individual. Mobility has begun to realize its potential as the first wave of technology that fundamentally transforms how the human race lives and works with each other. Ultimately, health care will transform itself as well.
Spending on construction for health care peaked in 2009 at just over $48 billion dollars. That number fell dramatically in 2010 to about $40 billion dollars and has remained relatively constant over the past two years. Of course this drop was largely driven by the Great Recession, which hammered capital improvements of all types. Our country has largely paused in its march to build any type of infrastructure and healthcare building is just part of the avalanche caused by decreased demand.
However, demand for all types of health care services continue to increase as people grow older and their dependence on the medical delivery system marches inexorably northward. One can only assume that at some point we will need to build more hospitals and clinics as people grow older and inevitably, more dependent on the services of the health care industry.
However, building more hospitals and clinics is not the only answer. One way that we can support increased demand for health care services is to simply convert in person care to distributed care. Clinics are showing up at Walgreens, Target, and Walmart. This type of substitution will continue to enable a shift in how and where individuals receive care.
Another option is to replace medical care with automated systems like the IBM Watson technology to reach patients with less direct medical involvement. Watson, most well known for winning a Jeopardy match against an all-star team of ex champions, has now been programmed to move into the medical sphere. Eventually, whether at a remote clinic or even over the Internet, Watson will offer highly accurate diagnostic services that may ultimately rival and perhaps even exceed the acumen of many general practitioners who likely lack deep expertise on every symptom known to mankind.
While replacing the medical professional is one way to reduce the number of hospital and clinics that have to be built, another strategy is to extend the ability of doctors to reach many more patients. In this way, technology serves as a multiplier, not a replacement for the care and expertise of a doctor. Patient engagement technology extends the ability of doctors to reach many more individuals without actually requiring one to one in person encounters.
Using patient engagement technology, doctors can create rules that align treatment to data that is gathered from the individual and processed through rules that the doctor has carefully created for a large group of patients that are under common care. In this fashion, a one to many relationship is far superior to a one to one interaction that requires far more medical personnel than we have available today.
Ultimately, this one-to-many paradigm may become the most effective way to deliver care. While it will not preclude the need for more buildings and care facilities, it may continue to "bend the curve" downward and allow many more patients to receive a higher quality of care than can be achieved with simply replacing medical professionals with stand alone technology.
This past week, I have seen a couple of research pieces on the emerging threats to our mental health brought about by our ever increasing engagement with the online world. First, a study documented the prevalence of Facebook envy amongst on-line users. While this is something I joke about with friends whenever I return from some international travel, I never thought about just how serious it can be. Apparently looking at photos of other people's smiling kids can cause some serious mental health damage to a large part of the populace.
But researchers have now begun to understand that Facebook envy can really impact people's lives. The investigaors looked at 600 individuals who were actively engaged with Facebook and sure enough, many of them reported that life satisfaction was significantly impacted by their social networking experience. (Maybe they own stock in Facebook as well!) Their conclusion—Facebook is an inherently stressful environment. Apparently, arguing about religion, politics, and work is not the best way to calm your nerves (either at work or at home). For anyone interested, you can read more here.
A few days later, research came out that documented the phenomenon now referred to as cyberchondria. A recent study by the Pew Research Center revealed that 59% of adults have reported going on-line to gather information about their own personal health. Of course, this is not a bad thing, but increasingly, online information can become a source of obsession and anxiety.
A recent story on CBS This Morning interviewed psychiatrist Janet Taylor who is an expert on this type of situation. She commented about the afflicted: "They look for self treatment and they don't go in and see their doctor or they go in and see their doctor too much and the fact is, they don't have anything diagnosable."
As an evangelist for mHealth and remote monitoring technologies, I always think of increased engagement as a good thing. But do we run a risk of creating an entire generation of cyberchondriacs? Could it be that having a device attached to your chest or wrist will cause patients to take significant risks that they should not take? Hopefully not, but the laws of unintended consequences should always be considered. Will remote patient monitoring be the final tipping point in our obsession about our own health.
It is highly unlikely that patients who wear some type of monitoring device will ever become the subject of device envy. More likely, increased usage of these devices will become routine and accepted. Just this past week I talked with a co-worker who had been prescribed a cardiac monitoring device because of a stroke that he had had last month.
Having said that, cyberchondria does seem like a legimate concern. We must always remember that monitoring devices and engagement solutions are extensions of the doctor's conversation with the patient. They should never replace that interaction. By always having that central principle in front of us, we will not go wrong in how we interact with patients.
Data Privacy and mHealth are not naturally coexistent. Data Privacy in general, refers to the collection; storage and usage of data, often personally identifiable, such that if used improperly could cause financial or reputational harm to an individual. The sheer amount of data that can be collected from a device or application is mind-boggling. Much of this data can be extremely useful in determining a patient's behavior and compliance to their care plan, monitoring for disease related trigger events, trending for possible disease states, prevention and above all, life saving. The data can actually provide a doctor with a view into the patient's behavior and the possible stimuli that may produce an event, thus bridging the gap between the truth and the patient's comments to the doctor. Data can help paint a clearer picture of a patient's condition when utilized properly.
mHealth medical devices and applications can provide millions of pieces of data very quickly. Application developers often see data as point of purchase type collection of raw data that can be shared and used with just about anyone. Unfortunately, healthcare data is different from other types of data collected like purchases at the grocery store, driving habits and history, claims data from property insurers, etc. Healthcare data must be kept private and secure during its entire lifecycle. It must be controlled, validated, secured and made available to a patient upon request. Plus, the "holder" of the data must be able to prove that they have policies and procedures in place, and that they are following them in order to maintain the privacy and security of the data in their possession and that they share. This is where HIPAA comes in. Under HIPAA providers must regularly disclose privacy practices to patients, and parties must also disclose information to the Department of Health and Human Services if they're under investigation. In addition, it gives patients the rights to their records, and that has always been the most important aspect.
The patient is the driver of how their health care data, known as Protected Health Information (PHI), is shared, used and disclosed for any purpose other than for their treatment, payment to the provider or other specific uses in healthcare operations (aka TPO). Protected health information (PHI) is defined as individually identifiable health information transmitted or maintained by a covered entity or its business associates in any form or medium (45 CFR 160.103). PHI can be a confusing concept for some. For example, a name or address by itself is not considered PHI; but, when it is combined with a visit, a diagnosis code, a medical device serial number, claims data or other piece of information, it becomes PHI and falls under the protection of the HIPAA and HITECH Privacy and Security regulations, among other Country specific, federal and state regulations.
If data is to be used for anything other than the standard purposes of "TPO", or other reason for which the patient has given clear consent in writing, then the data must be must be completely de-identified by removing 18 defined pieces of information before sharing. New guidance under HIPAA was just issued last week and can be found here.
Entities sharing healthcare data must be able to account for the disclosures and the subject of the data has a right to request a log accounting for the disclosures. Time frames for maintaining the accounting were adjusted under the HITECH act. If an entity uses an electronic medical record, the accounting must be for 3 years.
Of particular note under the HITECH Act is the new Breach Disclosure Rule. The regulations, developed by OCR, require health care providers and other HIPAA covered entities to promptly notify affected individuals of a breach, as well as the HHS Secretary and the media in cases where a breach affects more than 500 individuals. Breaches affecting fewer than 500 individuals should be reported to the HHS Secretary on an annual basis. The regulations also require business associates of covered entities to notify the covered entity of breaches at or by the business associate. There are specific time frames and methodologies in the handling of a breach of unprotected PHI depending on the number of data subjects possible, involved. A clear understanding of responsibility is necessary to provide the correct response. Everyone involved in the use, processing, storing, collection or sharing of healthcare information bears responsibility. Extreme fines have been issued for noncompliance. Data breaches can now cost companies up to $250,000 or more in some cases.
A new round of regulation known as the Omnibus Rule should be released soon. It gets complicated but it is safe to say that the bar on Privacy and Security in general will be raised. With the implementation of electronic medical records, mHealth, personal health records, new devices and applications, and the subsequent sharing of data electronically using new tools and E-reports, technology has exceeded the grasp of the regulations in a very short time. The new regulations will be a start in defining and regulating the data as we move forward.
Its quite ironic that the things that are good for our health are most often the things that are of least interest to us,or in some cases, require that extra bit of effort that a lot of us don't have the time or motivation for. For example-- medicine is never sweet, but it is there to help you recover. Similarly, staying fit and exercising takes a lot of push and effort, but it proves to be worthwhile in the long run. This begs the question: can technology help bridge this motivational gap?
Over the past few years, we have seen how mHealth technology has become an integral part of the health care ecosystem. Even sports giants like Nike and Adidas have jumped into this mix with remote devices programmed to track everything from the speed, distance, time, heart rate and water levels. Most people would call this a Brand extension, simply another offering for their loyal customers. However, the underlying picture in this, is the fact that the Nike's and Adidas of the world are realizing what Healthcare companies have been focusing on for a long time now. They have realized that the most important thing is to keep people engaged and healthy and help them lead healthier lives and prevent illness, sports professionals or not. At the end of the day all businesses are here to make profits, that's not something we can deny, but that does not mean that we cannot do so while promoting a better lifestyle for our customers. Call it a win-win situation if you will, for both sides.
I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of health programs that are intended to change health behavior. It is interesting to see first hand the impact that coupling behavioral science and motivational factors with the right delivery technologies could have on the problem.
Organizations and individuals have come to understand just how effectively goal setting can drive major behavioral change. Most of the goals we set don't materialize because we don't give it enough shape. This is where a concept like SMART can help provide us with meaningful direction. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely goals. While technology is generally used to drive efficiency, it can also guide individuals through a process:
Now, I'm going to break the order of SMART and explain Realistic goals and Timely goals before explaining Attainable goals.

PetSmart expecting strong holiday sales
PHOENIX -- According to the American Pet Products Association, at least half of pet owners will buy holiday gifts for their animals.
An executive with PetSmart, which is headquartered in Phoenix, told KTAR its customers spend $5-30 on gifts for their pets during the holidays. Of those, half will then buy gifts for their friends' or family members' pets, spending another $5-20.
"They're really about including the pet in the family festivities," said Senior Marketing Manager Melissa Galloway. "Every year, it feels like it just gets bigger and bigger."
While most gifts are for dogs and cats, Galloway said PetSmart's specialty market is growing. The retailer offers ornaments for fish tanks, Santa costumes for guinea pigs and an exercise wheel that plays "Jingle Bells."
PetSmart -- which has more than 1,300 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico -- is also seeing more interest in what its executives call "human-grade quality" products, such as a dog treat maker that resembles a George Foreman grill, which comes with a recipe book and molds in the shape of bones.
"A lot of pets may have allergies and you can know specifically what is in the batter you're giving them," Galloway said. "So you can mix it up however you want, if you want something organic or non-wheat."
Just like parents of children, Galloway said some pet owners like to have video monitors so they can check in while they're away from home. The devices have become a popular holiday gift.
"Personally, what I love about them is we have a pet that we're trying to train to stay off our couches...(On) one of the devices we have, you can actually speak into the monitor," she said. "So while your pet's at home, you can talk to them and say, 'Hey, get off the couch!' So the dog can hear your voice, and you can correct behavior when you're not directly there."

Ricky Martin is living 'Evita' loca on Broadway
In its first Broadway revival since it stormed the city in 1979 and won seven Tony Awards, "Evita" is back at the Marquis Theatre
Of course, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's operatic masterpiece packs the same power. There's the addition of one song from the movie version, but this is not just a remounting. There are substantial differences between the revival and the original, and that's not always for the best.
Pop sensation Ricky Martin as a sly, somewhat removed Che, is fabulous. He's in great voice, moves with sexy confidence and has a sardonic take on the ambitious girl's rise out of the sticks to ruling the country. He's wise to everything and sings the expository role with the elan of a leading man.
Stepping onto that famous balcony, where Eva Peron greeted "her people" with the iconic "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," is Elena Roger, who performed this in London.
This is the role that made Patti LuPone a goddess on Broadway. Roger is not LuPone. No one is, no one could be, and frankly, no one should try - for that path would lead only to misery.
Roger is very much her own Evita. She has a strong, rich voice but it is not always quite enough. "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" and "You Must Love Me" are songs that should stop the show with sustained applause.
Roger's training as a tango dancer is happily evident. There's also a deep, tangible feeling the Argentine has for an important story about her country. Though born decades after Peron died in 1952 at 33, Roger has said that her family, like most Argentines, was sharply divided over the Perons.
Roger, though, is not sexual enough, and Eva Peron used her sexuality as easily as the rest of us breathe. Oh, there are the scenes of men lining up to be with her as she trades up. Evita always traded up, using her shrewdness, her intelligence and her sex to get to what she wanted, which was everything.
With Roger, it just doesn't feel all that magnetic between her and any of the many men, especially her husband.
As Juan Peron, the dictator, Michael Cerveris (Broadway's "Sweeney Todd," TV's "Fringe") ably fills the role. There's nothing fierce or dictatorial about him. Rather he is more in the shadows of his wife. He's a solid singer and actor, but he seems pushed into inconsequence from the beginning.
Michael Grandage's direction is sharp, Christopher Oram's sets and costumes work beautifully. And surprisingly (a surprise because so much of his choreography is often vulgar) Rob Ashford's mix of sensual tangos and military sharp-stepping is terrific. He takes advantage of the huge chorus.
Ultimately, though, this feels just shy of the magnificence it should have. Sure, not everyone saw it when LuPone and Mandy Patinkin (as Che) made names for themselves. And that's why we have revivals. I just wish this one captured a bit more of the magic from the first.

The phone will allow users to download their own applications, rather than being stuck with those provided through the phone company.
The open source nature of the software promises to make it much easier for third parties to develop applications for mobile handsets.
Jim Hyde, the chief executive of T-Mobile UK, said: "Customers can tailor their phones with access to a variety of innovative applications.
"We're thrilled to offer this exciting breakthrough that gives people unlimited freedom to communicate the way they want to - it will change the way we use our mobiles."
Speaking to a press conference in New York today, he said that he hoped the technology would increase mobile broadband penetration, which is currently much lower than that of other technologies.
The G1 is manufactured by the Taiwanese company HTC, and will be available in the UK from early November.
Motorola, LG and Samsung are all expected to launch phones using Android technology next year.

YOU might think a constant supply of fresh air is essential for a sewage treatment plant, but some bacteria cannot stand the stuff. These bugs could be the key to cleaning waste water so efficiently that the process could generate power rather than consume it.
In conventional sewage plants, bacteria convert solid waste into methane but produce liquid waste containing ammonium, which must be removed by other bacteria that require a constant supply of oxygen from electric pumps. The process can consume megawatts of power.
But now Gijs Kuenen at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and colleagues are developing a technique that cuts out the energy-consuming processes. The key is a recently discovered type of bacterium that converts ammonium directly into nitrogen gas (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1185941).

Discovery of Public Records in Capital Cases
by Judge O.H. Eaton, Jr.
The lawyers who represent death row inmates in postconviction matters are referred to as "collateral counsel." These lawyers practice in one of the most stressful areas of the law. They are charged with reinvestigating the case to find out deficiencies that occurred during the trial. This reinvestigation usually includes review of numerous public records that may have some bearing on the case.
The procedure governing postconviction litigation in capital cases is contained in Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.851. The procedure to obtain public records for use in postconviction litigation is contained in Rule 3.852. The Supreme Court of Florida published its most recent versions of Rules 3.851 and 3.852 on September 26, 2001. Amendments to Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.851, 3.852, and 3.993 and Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.050 , 802 So. 2d 298 (Fla. 2001). The changes became effective on October 1, 2001, but do not apply to motions pending before that date. This publication is the latest in a series of rules changes governing postconviction procedure in capital cases.
Over the last several years both the Supreme Court and the legislature have made efforts to streamline the processing of postconviction motions in capital cases. These efforts have met with mixed results. For instance, the legislature passed the Death Penalty Reform Act of 2000 (DPRA) and the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional at its first opportunity.1 However, the legislature has provided substantive law and, more importantly, resources to allow postconviction litigation in capital cases to proceed more rapidly.
Every death row inmate in Florida has a lawyer. That statement alone is a positive comment on legislative commitment. There are three publicly funded offices of Capital Collateral Regional Counsel representing the vast majority of death row inmates. Also, there is a registry of attorneys available for appointment at public expense if Capital Collateral Regional Counsel are unable to undertake representation of a particular defendant.
Additionally, there is a legislatively created Capital Commission composed of judges and legislators that is tasked to monitor capital cases and make recommendations to the legislature on a periodic basis.2 This commission also maintains the registry of qualified attorneys available to be appointed to represent a death row inmate if the Capital Collateral Regional Counsel cannot represent the inmate.
Collateral counsel is appointed for a death row inmate by the Supreme Court of Florida upon the issuance of the mandate affirming the judgment and sentence of death on direct appeal.3
Prior to 1996, collateral counsel had to file a civil action in order to obtain public records from persons or agencies other than the state attorney and local law enforcement agencies that investigated the crime.4 This cumbersome process often required suit to be filed in several jurisdictions and delays were inevitable. The Florida Legislature enacted DPRA to streamline processing of capital cases and included a provision for the discovery of public records in the act.5
The procedural aspects of the statute were held to be unconstitutional in Allen v. Butterworth, 756 So. 2d 52 (Fla. 2000). In Allen, the court stated:
Next, we feel it is important to specifically address §3 of the
DPRA, which substantially amends §119.19. Although this Court has
recognized that the Legislature "has the prerogative to place reasonable
restrictions" on the right of public records access, Henderson ,
745 So. 2d at 326, this Court has also noted that Rule 3.852 is "a
discovery rule for public records production ancillary to proceedings
pursuant to Rule 3.850 and 3.851." Amendments to Florida Rules of
Criminal Procedure 3.852 , 754 So. 2d 640, 642 (Fla. 1999). Hence, the
Legislature has the authority to define the substantive right to public
records, but the adoption of time limitations and procedures governing
the production of public records in capital cases is within the exclusive
province of this Court. With the exception of §119.19(9) (directing
the Secretary of State to provide the personnel, supplies, and any necessary
equipment to copy records held at the records repository), which is consistent
with our proposed rules, we find that §3 of the DPRA is unconstitutional,
as this section attempts to regulate the procedure for public records
production in capital cases.
The legislature created a centralized repository for storage of public records in capital cases in order to provide easy access to them. It was the legislature's hope that a process could be developed that would allow these records to be automatically sent to the repository and made accessible to counsel without the necessity of resorting to litigation.
Currently, the Secretary of State is the officer responsible for storing the records and the records repository is located in the R.A. Gray building in Tallahassee.
The location of the repository has met with general criticism because the vast majority of capital cases are filed at the opposite end of the state and air travel to Tallahassee has never been optimal. Collateral counsel may prefer to go to the local agency that maintains the records and review them there. However, the statute governing the appointment of collateral counsel restricts counsel from requesting public records except from the records repository. F.S. §27.708(3) provides as follows: "(3) Except as provided in §119.19, the capital collateral regional counsel or contracted private counsel shall not make any public records request on behalf of his or her client."
This statute is arguably unconstitutional because it violates the equal protection clause by prohibiting collateral counsel from obtaining public records by other means available to the public. Sims v. State, 753 So. 2d 66, 71 (Anstead, J., concurring). It also attempts to restrict the practice of law.
Those problems aside, the procedural aspects of discovery of public records are now regulated by the Supreme Court of Florida. Rule 3.582 provides for an orderly method to obtain public records and, if the various offices and agencies that maintain public records cooperate, collateral counsel should be able to review them and have copies made in a timely fashion.
The remainder of this article explains the operation of Rule 3.852 and provides some direction for capital postconviction counsel by reviewing the few cases that address the subject.
(1) "Public records" means all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, tapes, photographs, films, sound recordings, data processing software, or other material, regardless of the physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by any agency.
(2) "Trial Court" means (A) the judge who imposed the sentence of death; or (B) the judge assigned by the Chief Judge.
(3) "Records repository" means the location designated by the Secretary of State pursuant to §119.19(2), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1998), for archiving capital postconviction records.
(4) "Collateral Counsel" means a capital collateral regional counsel from one of the three regions in Florida; or a private attorney who has been hired by the capital defendant or who has agreed to work pro bono for a capital defendant for postconviction litigation.
(5) "Agency" and "person" mean an entity or individual as defined in §119.011(2), Florida Statutes (1997), that is subject to the requirements of producing public records for inspection under §119.07(1)(a), Florida Statutes (1997). 119.011(2) "Agency" means any state, county, district, authority, or municipal officer, department, division, board, bureau, commission, or other separate unit of government created or established by law including, for the purposes of this chapter, the Commission on Ethics, the Public Service Commission, and the Office of Public Counsel, and any other public or private agency, person, partnership, corporation, or business entity acting on behalf of any public agency.
(6) "Index" means a list of the public records included in each container of public records sent to the records repository.
Steps to Obtain Public Records in Capital Cases
o Step 1
This seemingly simple procedure provides the two main executive branch agencies in the case with notice that public records are to be identified and collected. It also provides notice to the defendant's trial counsel. However, it provides no alternative in the event that trial counsel is no longer practicing law, is dead, or has moved to another state. This oversight may cause problems due to the length of time appeals in capital cases remain pending prior to the issuance of the mandate.
The notice directs the state attorney and the Department of Corrections to submit public records to the records repository within 90 days. The state attorney is also required to provide notice to all law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation of the case to submit public records to the records repository within 90 days.
o Step 2
Additionally, within the same 90-day period, the defendant's trial counsel is responsible for providing written notification to the attorney general of the name and address of any person or agency with information pertinent to the case which has not been previously provided to collateral counsel.
This latter provision has the potential to cause confusion and delay. It gives trial counsel the option of either advising the attorney general of the names and addresses of any additional person or agencies having public records, or not advising the attorney general of such persons or agencies by previously notifying collateral counsel of their existence. This could result in public records not being sent to the records repository for inspection by the state attorney. While it is unlikely that some person or agency foreign to the case will possess valuable material, in capital litigation there is always the possibility.
o Step 3
o Step 4
o Step 5
For obvious reasons, the certificate "to the best of the person or agency's knowledge and belief" is ineffective and will not be relied upon by collateral counsel. The reason for this ambiguous certificate was concern that large agencies like the Florida Department of Law Enforcement may unintentionally miss some public records and should not be held to an exact standard to produce them. However, the certificate is misleading and should be omitted from the rule. The arrival of a box of public records at the records repository or a statement that there are no such records provides the same assurance as the certificate.
Additional Public Records
The trial court may overrule any objection to the production of additional public records if the court finds 1) collateral counsel has made a timely and diligent search, 2) collateral counsel's written demand identifies, with specificity, those additional public records that are not in the records repository, 3) the additional public records are relevant or appear reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence, and 4) the additional public records request is not overly broad or unduly burdensome.
The filing of a demand for additional public records under this section of the rule appears to be mandatory since it uses the word "shall." Collateral counsel will undoubtedly file a "shell" demand for additional public records and move to amend at a later date. This will cause additional delay.
Assuming every person and agency complies with the requirement to submit public records to the records repository, all of the public records should be on file there less than 330 days from the date the mandate affirming the death sentence is issued by the Supreme Court of Florida. However, in capital litigation, things are never that easy. Some of the records may be claimed to be exempt or confidential and there may be old cases out there that are subject to a separate procedure. Ironically, the persons or agencies claiming records to be exempt or confidential are aligned with the prosecution whose interest is to avoid delays. By providing a separate procedure for old cases, additional delays may be expected.
Exempt or Confidential Public Records
In order for collateral counsel to obtain a ruling to unseal the public records claimed to be exempt or confidential, an order must first be obtained from the trial court directing the records repository to ship the sealed boxes of records to the clerk of the trial court. Undoubtedly, collateral counsel will always want to obtain a ruling to determine if these records are really exempt or confidential and delay could be avoided if these records were filed with the clerk of the court in the first place. However, the Supreme Court wanted to carry out legislative intent where possible so this unnecessary complication is part of the procedure and will undoubtedly cause delay.
The "moving party" is responsible to pay for the cost of the "transportation and inspection of such records by the trial court." Presumably, the "cost" will be just the postage. It is unclear what "cost" could possibly be associated with inspecting the records.
Once the records claimed to be exempt or confidential are delivered to the clerk of the court, they may only be opened by the trial court in camera without ex parte communication in the same manner as inspecting any sealed document. Presumably, the trial court will enter an order sustaining the claim of exemption or confidentiality or order the records disclosed.
Procedure to be Used in Old Cases
In old cases where no public records request was made before October 1, 1998, the attorney general and the state attorney should have filed notifications in accordance with the other provisions of the rule by December 30, 1998. Public records should have then been delivered to the records repository as in any other case.
In old cases where collateral counsel has initiated the public records process before October 1, 1998, a demand for additional public records must be filed with the trial court and served upon any person or agency designated in the demand. This demand must have been filed and served within 90 days after October 1, 1998, or within 90 days after the production of records which were requested prior to October 1, 1998, whichever was later. The persons or agencies designated in the demand must copy, index, and deliver any public records to the records repository within 90 days.
A separate procedure is provided in old cases when a death warrant is issued. Collateral counsel is required to request in writing the production of any public records from any person or agency from which public records have been previously requested. The person or agency must copy, index, and deliver to the records repository within 10 days any public record 1) that was not previously the subject of an objection, 2) that was received or produced since the previous request, or 3) that was, for any reason, not previously produced.
Alternatively, the person or agency may file an affidavit with the trial court stating that no other public records exist and that all public records have been previously produced. Interestingly, this section of the rule omits the "best of knowledge and belief" provision contained in other sections of the rule.
The trial court has the authority to reduce the time for production of these records from 10 days to another time.
This section of the rule specifically requires production of public records from persons or agencies that have previously been the subject of a public records demand. The Supreme Court recognized that fact in Sims.
Where written notification is required in old cases, the receiving party is required to provide proof of receipt by return mail or other carrier. This provision may cause delay in receipt of important documents while under the pressure of a death warrant. It provides for no alternative delivery such as electronic transfer.
Scope of Production and Resolution of Production Issues
Destruction of Records Repository Records
Case Law Update
Sufficiency of Public Records Request
The court in Thompson also discusses the history of discovery of public records under chapter 119 prior to Rule 3.852 and gives citations to cases involving the civil actions that were used prior to the enactment of the rule.
Limitations After Death Warrant Is Issued
The court then noted that Rule 3.852(h) restricts discovery of public records after a death warrant is signed to persons or agencies that have previously produced public records. The records that are the subject of discovery are limited to records 1) not previously the subject of an objection, 2) that were received or produced since the previous request, or 3) that were, for any reason, not previously produced.
Interlocutory Review of Discovery Orders
In Camera Inspection of Exempt Public Records
The trial judge must inspect the records in camera to determine if they are in fact exempt. A detailed order must be entered identifying each public record and the reason for its exemption.
In Rose v. State , 774 So. 2d 629 (Fla. 2000), the trial judge held an in camera inspection of public records claimed to be exempt before the Huff hearing. The state attorney was ordered to produce certain of the records and others were ruled to be exempt. The Supreme Court approved the procedure.
It should be noted that in Rose , the trial judge denied the pending motion for postconviction relief without an evidentiary hearing after the Huff hearing was completed. This is risky and may result in years of delay. However, it is proper to deny an evidentiary hearing when there is no basis for one.
The present procedure is designed to speed up public records production by providing a central records repository with a more or less automatic process to send public records to that location. Trial judges are responsible to rule on discovery issues including in camera inspection of records that are claimed exempt.
Collateral counsel is expected to "focus on some legitimate area of inquiry" if motions to compel production are filed or if additional public records are sought.
Public records requests are limited after a death warrant is issued to
records that were not the subject of a previous objection and which have
not been produced in the past. Rule 3.852(h). In other words, records
recently discovered by a person or agency, records generated since the
last request, or records otherwise not previously produced. Additionally,
collateral counsel is limited to requesting public records under 3.852(h)
from persons or agencies that were previously the subject of a public
records request.
Public records have provided collateral counsel with significant evidence in the past and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. Trial judges need to take their responsibility to rule on public records issues seriously and make every effort to resolve public records disputes in a timely manner.

At a wide-ranging oversight hearing convened here by the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Robert Mueller faced a number of questions from Democrats voicing concern over the scope of the controversial investigative tactic, known as a National Security Letter, or NSL.
Federal law requires communication service providers to provide records about individuals in response to such letters, which do not require the use of a court warrant. Legal challenges to that measure's constitutionality are still pending.
Until recently, recipients of such letters were also not allowed to disclose the FBI's request to anyone. The final Patriot Act reauthorization approved earlier this year loosened those requirements somewhat, allowing recipients to appeal the requests to a court and to seek legal advice.
On Friday, the Justice Department reported to Congress that it had made 9,254 such requests pertaining to 3,501 "U.S. persons" in 2005, according to a copy of the agency's letter posted at the Federation of American Scientists Web site. A Washington Post report last fall, often cited by politicians dissatisfied with the Patriot Act, pegged the number of letters at 30,000 per year.
Sen. Russ Feingold, a Wisconsin Democrat who has been one of the most vocal critics of the Patriot Act, said Tuesday that the number was "far, far larger" than the number of requests made under Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Sometimes called the "library provision," Section 215 lets investigators obtain business and personal records but first requires a court order and prior approval from top FBI officials.
"I fear the reason might be that in Section 215 they have to go before a judge, and with National Security Letters, they don't," he said.
Mueller said he hadn't given much thought to the disparity. "I'd have to get back to you on that," he told Feingold.
Sen. Richard Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, said he wanted Mueller's assurance that the most recent incarnation of the Patriot Act makes it clear that libraries are generally not considered Internet service providers that would be subject to complying with national security letters.
Library advocacy groups have long voiced concerns over the Patriot Act's potential impact on citizens' privacy and the possibility of its allowing for investigative "fishing expeditions." Durbin and Sen. John Sununu, a New Hampshire Republican, have attempted to clarify that libraries performing their "traditional functions," including providing basic Internet access, would not have to comply with national security letter requests.
Mueller said he'd have to go back and look at the "specific language in the statute," adding, "it's somewhat of a complicated provision, and I want to be precise in my answer to you."
"There is a concern across America and this community...I thought we'd put it to rest," Durbin said. "Now I'm going to have restless nights until you get back to me."
