How do we balance the public health benefit of sharing clinical study information with the need to respect patient privacy and encourage continued innovation?
Contributors Respond
Peter Pitts
President and Co-Founder, CMPI
The debate around clinical trial transparency is certainly nothing new, with some arguing that the Clinicaltrials.gov registration requirement in the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) isn't being properly implemented and that more transparency (and oversight) is needed to satisfy full public disclosure and address the issue.
Unfortunately, it's just not that simple.
As the former senior government official in charge of clinicaltrials.gov, I think it's important to look at the facts - and the numbers.
In 2000, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched ClinicalTrials.gov to provide public access to information on clinical studies. Although it initially contained information primarily on NIH-funded research, it has been expanded to include both publicly and privately supported clinical research. Since the launch of the site, it has been enhanced to significantly increase data sharing, and the database now includes information on nearly 140,000 clinical trials in all 50 states and 182 countries.
And it's being utilized. The NIH reported last year that ClinicalTrials.gov "receives more than 95 million page views per month and 60,000 unique visitors daily."
As we progress through the many factors involved in data transparency, here are some issues we need to consider:
- The FDA is at the nexus of vast amounts of patient-level clinical data – what role will transparency play in making such information available? How might the agency accomplish such a task, how would it be funded – and where does such an initiative fall on the agency's long list of urgent priorities?
- Should transparency be a government dictate or a working collaboration between interested parties both private and public – and what role should patients play? Should there be formalized transparency consortia? Should it be global?
- Can transparency become a competitive advantage as well as a public health imperative?
According to Dr. Richard Moscicki, CDER's new Deputy Director for Science Operations, there's a "transparency dichotomy" of "the promise versus fear and loathing." As to "why" transparency is promising, he offers reproducibility, re-analysis of the potential to identify new information (placebo effects, biomarkers, endpoints, trial designs). According to comments Moscicki made at a recent conference on this issue, one group that is silently against transparency is academics – because they don't want to be cornered into making studies public if it impacts their ability to publish.
The FDA's impediment to data sharing, per Moscicki, is legal (data ownership, HIPAA/privacy, proprietary information), technical/practical (format, data standards, CDISC, redaction), a question of resources and the agency's need to focus on its key mission.
On that last point, he shared that the FDA does not view (at least as of right now) the issue of clinical trial data transparency as a key agency agenda item – unless there was a move to move it to the head of the regulatory queue via user fees. But transparency is important and, per Moscicki, "inevitable" – and to that end he discussed the agency's recent Federal Register notice (Masked and De-identified Non-Summary Safety and Efficacy Data).
Moscicki stressed that FDA's approach has been under development for several years and the agency is not contemplating routine preparation and release of de-identified and masked clinical and non-clinical study data. The agency is encouraging independently organized efforts to create, curate and share clinical trial datasets from all sources.
Maybe the FDA's incremental and collaborative approach is best. Slow and steady isn't always sexy, but with respect to public sharing of clinical trials data, it is in the best interest of the public health.
Rebecca Li
Executive Director, MRCT
Clinical trial data represent important scientific resources, and the potential public health and health care delivery benefits are far-reaching. These significant benefits can be leveraged to a greater degree if patient level data are made more freely available to researchers, accompanied by appropriate safeguards. Increased access to patient level data will, however, inevitably lead to a greater risk of breaching patient privacy. The optimal balance between privacy, research access, and incentives for innovation will need to be established prior to the adoption of any regulatory imperatives to release patient-level data.
The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center at Harvard's multi-stakeholder workgroup on Models of Clinical Trial Data Sharing and Transparency has examined these issues in depth over the past year. Through our work in this area, several imperative principles have emerged on how best to balance patient privacy, innovation and public health interests:
1) Provide access to data in cases in which access to the patient-level data is necessary to answer a relevant scientific question.
2) Provide the minimum amount of data that is required to answer a specific scientific question.
3) Recommend a model that incorporates the principles of a 'learned intermediary' or 'controlled access to data'. This model would not necessarily preclude data generators from providing clinical trial data to researchers directly, based on these principles.
4) Ensure that safeguards are in place to minimize the possibility of re-identification of patients, adequately protects patient privacy and also adheres to the terms of the informed consent. A robust data-use agreement could serve this purpose.
5) Assure accountability of both data generators and data requesters for responsible use of data and analyses.
6) Treat equally all sponsors of data, including industry, academia and government.
7) Make practical any proposed system of data sharing, minimizing the cost and burden to data generators and requestors, and assuring transnational adoption of uniform rules, to lower transaction costs.
If the above practices are implemented, this will serve to benefit all parties and ensure that the full value of clinical trial data is leveraged, while also balancing the rights of patients and commercial interests.
Lastly, policymakers must respect that participants who volunteer for clinical trials may have a different perception of public health benefit than scientists. In the dialogue that is currently ongoing, the participant voice is an important one. It is clear that they are key stakeholders and have much to lose if innovation is stifled or privacy is breached, but also much to gain if increased data sharing leads to faster drug development cycle times or if safety signals across drug classes are ascertained earlier.
Kenneth A. Getz, MBA
Director of Sponsored Research Programs, Tufts University
Perhaps the question, as posed, reflects a narrow and outdated perspective? The current question suggests that clinical research professionals have a choice in addressing — or choosing not to address -- elements of patient privacy, clinical trial results disclosure and proprietary innovation knowledge. That choice no longer exists. It is not a matter of balance, but rather an acknowledgement that success hinges on new models and strategies that defy conventional drug development notions of privacy, disclosure and competitive sensitivity.
It is widely accepted that the R&D paradigm that served our industry well for more than 60-years is no longer viable. Our current operating environment is fraught with large and rising costs, high levels of complexity, inefficiency and risk. My colleagues and I at the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development have been looking at one very promising new R&D approach -- collaborative and open innovation -- characterized by partnerships that share innovation and operating risk, better leverage expertise and capabilities, and drive higher levels of efficiency and performance. For open innovation to work effectively and successfully, collaborative partners must respect one another and must share intellectual property and proprietary knowledge.
Many open innovation approaches include patients as engaged team members or collaborative partners helping to set the research agenda and study design, providing funding support, assisting in recruiting and retaining research participants, and disseminating study findings. Honoring the patient at the center of the research team requires adhering to the highest standards of patient privacy and transparency.
The disclosure of clinical trial results is not only required by regulatory mandate, it also rests at the heart of building trust among the public and patients and ultimately engaging them as partners in the clinical research process. Sadly, Very few companies are meeting the obligation at this time to disclose clinical trial results to study volunteers but there is hope: Two years ago, my non-profit organization CISCRP (Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation) began assisting sponsor companies in routinely providing non-promotional, non-technical clinical trial results summaries to study volunteers through investigative sites. Nearly two dozen companies are now providing clinical trial results to study volunteers and they are seeing improvements in patient retention rates, in volunteer comprehension and satisfaction, and in patient engagement and support in the clinical research process. The number of companies supporting this important initiative is growing.
The goal is not balance – it is acknowledging that sustainable success requires embracing and respecting open innovation models and the profound value created by collaborative teams made up of professionals and patients.
Douglas Peddicord, Ph.D.
Executive Director, ACRO
As clinical research organizations (CROs), ACRO member companies are involved in the conduct of the majority of clinical trials that lead to new treatments and therapies. Working with confidential and proprietary information to facilitate rapid advances in the development of safe and effective diagnostics and medicines is at the core of our business. While we are not the "owners" of clinical trial results, maintaining the privacy of clinical trial participants is central to the mission of producing reliable and unbiased data.
ACRO endorses the "Principles for Responsible Clinical Trial Data Sharing" announced recently by EFPIA and PhRMA. Sharing clinical and pre-clinical data within a framework that protects the privacy of research participants and the confidentiality of commercial information, under a governance structure that ensures responsible and fair use of the data, has great potential for enhancing the public health. Voluntarily giving patient-level and study-level trial data, along with study protocols, to qualified scientific and medical researchers could foster genuine advances in development by allowing independent reanalysis of rich data sets and significant learning from previous successes and failures.
Notwithstanding our support for this kind of scientific collaboration, we are concerned that some so-called transparency proposals from regulators and others could have a chilling effect on clinical trial participation. It is important to note that clinical trial participation is already inadequate, and this hurts the development of new treatments and therapies.
According to a recent Research!America poll, 53.4% of Americans believe privacy and confidentiality are "very important" to their participation in clinical trials. Also, 31.3 percent of those polled – and 40.6 percent of African-Americans – believe people have been included in clinical trials without their knowledge.
When discussing the transparency issue, we must keep in mind this "trust factor" as well as privacy concerns. Surely no one advocating making all clinical trial results public would want to discourage participation in clinical trials. Participation in such trials is critical to the development of new treatments and cures.
It is important to note that in that same Research!America poll, 72.5% said they would be willing to share their personal health information to advance medical research. Perhaps regulations and informed consent documents could be revised to allow for greater research use of this valuable clinical trial data as long as patient anonymity is protected.
We strongly believe that any subject level data made available for research purposes should be de-identified consistent with the requirements of HIPAA. The HIPAA de-identification model is the most widely accepted and followed standard for de-identifying health data consistent with the appropriate protection of individual privacy. The use of any different standard will create confusion by allowing distribution of "de-identified" data utilizing differing safeguards, and potentially place research subject privacy at risk. Research participants must have confidence that their privacy is protected. In order to fully protect patient privacy, we believe this HIPAA de-identified and masked subject level data sets should be provided only to qualified researchers undertaking IRB-approved projects.

I had nightmares.
After mingling with lunatic clowns, menacing werewolves and bloody butchers, as well as zombies and other members of the walking dead, I brought them all home with me -- in my mind. And they stayed with me until 4:30 a.m., maybe a few minutes after, when I awoke from a terrifying dream in a cold sweat.
So consider that caveat emptor -- let the buyer beware -- if you're thinking about stepping into the nightmarish world that is Halloween Haunt at California's Great America in Santa Clara.
The ghoulish and ghastly event, which consumes the whole park grounds Friday through Sunday nights through Oct. 28, definitely lives up to its billing as something "not for wimps or children under 13." I definitely don't qualify for the latter, and I now have to reconsider whether or not I'm one of the former.
I never thought I was, at least when it came to "spookactular" productions, especially since horror is my favorite film genre by far. Yet, my recent trip to Halloween Haunt was a fright night to remember -- and, hopefully, someday forget.
Plenty of scares await those brave enough to step through the park gates. In the outdoor "scare zones," costumed creeps in full character walk right up to you and try to elicit screams. Then there are the seasonal live shows, such as the "Shocking Sideshow of Freaks" (which includes 7-foot-3 George the Giant) and the DJ dance fiesta called "Ghostly Glow Party."
However, the biggest scares await in the four haunted mazes, each one seemingly more intense than the previous. Once you enter, there's no going back.
These mazes are filled with freakishly costumed actors. At least, I was told they were only actors; it was hard to remember that as monsters of mass destruction kept approaching me in rapid succession. I'm thankful I was also told that these creatures wouldn't touch me -- although they all seemed to take much delight invading my personal space. Fortunately, I was wearing deodorant. Boy, did I ever need it during my time in these mazes.
Each maze boasts an incredibly well-realized theme. There's the Massacre Manor, where visitors enter the world of Madame Marie, a Southern heiress who specializes in the dark arts of voodoo. Then there's the Slaughterhouse Annihilation maze, which is basically akin to stepping into the bloody, meat-grinding world of Leatherface and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
If you still have enough courage left, continue over to the demented Toy Factory; this is truly no place to do your Christmas shopping. Instead, it's filled with maniacal factory workers trying to assemble toys out of all kinds of parts -- including, I feared, my own.
Last, but certainly not least, on the fear-o-meter is Carn-Evil, which lives up to its billing as "the most gruesome carnival." I've always wondered why so many people have an aversion to clowns. Now I know.
Halloween Haunt is certainly a chilling way to get in the proper October mindset. Just don't be surprised if some of those chills stay with you long after you leave the park.

All my best wishes,
Hi Scott, I was wondering how you were doing. I read your Blog today, just wonderful the way you write. Did you ever stop to think that when adults die they have usually already signed an organ consent. When the organ comes from a child it may be through God that he calls for the child and then he works his Miracles through the hands of the surgeon. Guess it goes back to 'ours not to reason why'.
Thanks for the comments, all. I've been in the hospital this past week due to some complications involving newly placed PCT tubes which are helping to drain the blocked bile ducts. Everything is now under control, and I'm home, but I'm still on the pain meds. I've been reading the blogs on here--many interesting people. It's educational. Thanks for the suggestions, Marion. Nancy, your strength is amazing. Selfishly, I'm glad to be on this end of the cancer. To have a loved one suffering this would be more than I think I could bear. I'm sorry to hear about your son. Lainy, thanks for trying to console me about the philosophical dilemas this situation presents. Although I won't go so far as to agree that all actions are for the best in some divine plan (ie, children dying violently to provide organs) as this line of thinking can lead to some dangerous places, including resignation of people to do anything good because they figure it's all part of God's plan. For instance, prior to 1920, it was assumed it was part of God's plan to keep women as second-class citizens, unable to vote, or own property, or have rights to their children, etc. Other examples abound all over the place. It alleviates responsibility by saying something is the way it is because God must want it that way. BUT, I would agree whole heartedly that God is mysterious, inscrutible. Your line from Tennyson's anti-war poem does seem to resonate with our lack of an answer for "why". Indeed, it's a mystery.
Scott - Glad to hear you're home and things are under control. There is so much I could say: I agree with you; I always wished it was me that had cancer and not my son....it was the most difficult thing I've ever been through in my life but I had to cope for his sake. I have lots of questions and thoughts about Divine plans, etc., etc. but I agree - life is a mystery! Wishing you well - Nancy
Hi Everyone : I am new to this blog. My wonderful husband was diagnosed on
April 20th of this year I buried him last Wed. Dan was a dentist and Ph.d who could never wrap his head around cancer let alone this one. He swore he would
beat this and until his last breath he would not give up. I just know tonight in all my anger and lonliness I wanted to hear I am not the only one . I never heard of this cancer let along the speed at which it travels. I have two beautiful children who I am praying for everyday that this dreaded disease escapes them.
I am sorry to say Hospice was not much help to Dan but the Pallative Care team at the Hillman Cancer Center in Pgh was wonderful. Dan never never never gave in . That is why I am left with a practice, our home and so many unanswered questions. As hard as it maybe you have got to talk to your family about your wishes should this not go in the right direction. Please don't make anyone else have to go thru this. Thanks for listening Dan wouldn't log on when he was alive he was too scared. So I am doing it for him. Thanks for listening it is one of those nights.
Maureen, I am so heartbroken for your loss. I was 52 when I was diagnosed and so blind-sided by this cancer. This site is wonderful place to come to, there are so many compassionate people who understand your pain.
Lots of prayers-Cathy
Dear Maureen, please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your husband,
Dan. I lost my Teddy December 6th. In Home Hospice for us was terriffic but the last 4 days were spent at a Hospice Facility and it was a nightmare. I put a video on You Tube titled "Teddy's Hospice story". Sadly, you are not alone in your journey. You will be strong for your children and somehow most children seem to have their own strength as well. It will be 8 months on the 6th and I can honestly say I am not lonely as I have great friends and kids, but there is a big hole that I cannot see anyone ever filling. I am quite a bit older than you and we fought this beast for 5 years so that may help in the way I grieve. When I feel down I just tell myself how lucky I was to have a love for 16 years that most people never have in a lifetime.
I do tell peoople that it is so important to talk about wishes and what needs to be done. Ours was a second marriage so it was important to have all the kids know Teddy's wants also. Everything was spelled out months before he passed. Everyone got to say their goodbyes and as hard as it was I can only imagine what you went through in such a short time. I am sending you prayers and strength so that you can get through what you have to do and then to look for Dan in your children who will give you that extra strength to go on.
You are not alone. There are others of us who lost their loved ones swiftly from this disease. I am one of them. We had less than 2 months from start to finish. One day Jim was complaining of a slight pain and being tired and before I knew it he was gone. I also have been left in a situation similar to yours with a business to run and nothing in place as to how to deal with things if something happened to one of us. It has been almost three years for me and I can tell you that although it is hard, you will be OK. We just go on and deal with things one day at a time and somehow we do get by.
We had never even heard of this cancer and didn't know what we were fighting until a few weeks before he passed. I found this site a few days later and this site and the wonderful people on it is what gets me by. Please keep coming back here. It does help to know you are not alone and that there are people out there who have been there and truely understand. Believe me, as hard as this all is, you are stronger than you think. Take care Maureen. Keep coming back here when you want or need to. There is a whole lot of love & support here. People who care.
Love & Hugs,

I LOVE these DIY alternatives. Epsom salts (just about pure Magnesium) really work to soothe aches and pains. Baking soda softens skin and relieves rashes, as does oatmeal.

PHOENIX — Reliever Ryan Cook's availability for opening day may not be as straightforward as the A's reliever would like.
A day after Cook, coming back from shoulder tightness, threw 20 pitches off a mound for the first time this spring and said he was more confident than ever that he'd be ready for opening day, manager Bob Melvin tapped on the brakes.
``We'll see where that one goes,'' Melvin said. ``He's still going to have to go through all the things the other guys had to do — multiple bullpens, throwing to hitters and then the games. So I don't know.
``Once we actually get him into the games, the timetable will be a little clear. As of right now, I still don't know.''
Typically the last thing a reliever has to do in the spring is pitch in back-to-back games. Because of the depth of the Oakland bullpen, Melvin might give Cook, the right-handed setup man in the eighth inning, a little room to maneuver.
``I think you could waive that,'' he said.
The other relievers typically will have pitched between eight and team times during the spring. Melvin is not sure what number would suffice to get Cook, who is 12-6 with a 2.30 ERA and an All-Star Game berth during his two seasons with the A's, on the roster for March 31's opener against the Indians in Oakland.
``You don't want to cut him short,'' he said. ``You don't want him speeding up to try to do things differently to try to get there on time. We'll be cautious with him. I don't see us speeding it up at this point.''

2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year for politics. A month after the U.S. presidential election Venezuela will hold its own, and Hugo Chávez said that he's running. He dropped the news to the Venezuelan newspaper Correo del Orinoco and gave a rare rare insight into his way of thinking: "On a personal level, I tell you I have never thought for even an instant of retiring from the presidency." Whoa, really?

SANTA CLARA — Carlos Hyde flashed a smile that reflected pure admiration Thursday when discussing Frank Gore, the legend he might eventually succeed in the 49ers' backfield.
For now, Hyde is just thrilled to be in position to learn from the 49ers' all-time leading rusher.
"Being able to watch Frank Gore and have an opportunity to learn from him is awesome," said Hyde, a second-round draft pick last week out of Ohio State. "Not too many people get to learn from a guy who's probably going to the Hall of Fame. I'm going to really pay attention to him and take notes."
Hyde hasn't yet crossed paths with Gore since arriving this week for offseason workouts. Gore gets his work in early in the mornings, and he's usually leaving just as Hyde arrives.
"That was a guy, even before I got drafted, that I was already comparing myself to -- he and Marshawn Lynch," Hyde said, "because those guys are relentless with the ball and they run tough."
Hyde did meet Gore earlier this spring while training at Bommartio Performance Systems in North Miami Beach.
"They've very, very different players ... but one thing in common is their love for football. Frank lives and breathes football," Pete Bommarito said Thursday in a phone interview. "It's good for Carlos to be around guys like that, to see what it takes to be a consummate pro."
Bommarito described Hyde's style as the "prototype of today's NFL," whereas he can be both a bruising back and also a receiving threat.
Hyde (6-foot, 235 pounds) is the biggest back in the 49ers' stable, which includes Gore (5-9, 217), Kendall Hunter (5-7, 199), LaMichael James (5-9, 195), Jewell Hampton (5-9, 210) and the untested Marcus Lattimore (5-11, 211).
Hyde's most likely role is to assume the short-yardage spot which the 49ers occasionally attempted to fill in past seasons with now-Buffalo Bills tailback Anthony Dixon (6-1, 233).
"The standard for bigger backs is 4.6. He's an exceptional big back with 4.5 speed," Bommarito said.
Hyde strained his left hamstring running the 40-yard dash (in 4.66 seconds) at February's scouting combine. He ran again for scouts prior to the draft earlier this month.
Gore's been training with Bommarito since before the 2005 draft, when the 49ers took a third-round gamble on the Miami tailback with two surgically repaired knees. Gore was unavailable for comment Thursday.
"The main thing Frank was doing here was we prepared him and got his body aligned for OTAs and what (the 49ers) wanted," Bommarito said. "He looks about the same as always. It's not like he ages."
Gore, who turned 31 on Wednesday, has turned several 49ers teammates onto Bommarito since the 2011 collective bargaining agreement restricted players' ability to work out at team facilities early in the offseason.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick worked out there for two months after the Super Bowl, along with wideout Quinton Patton and linebacker Nick Moody. Wideout Anquan Boldin and linebacker NaVorro Bowman also have trained there.
Hyde says his Ohio State upbringing has him ready to also protect Kaepernick, both in the pocket and out of it.
As for why he described his own running style as "violent" when interviewed on draft day, Hyde replied: "I just run with anger. I don't shy away from contact. I'm a relentless runner, a guy who's always scratching and clawing for those extra yards."

Rihanna, Katy Perry, Coldplay on Super Bowl Halftime Shortlist
With the National Football League's 2014 season set to kick off in 16 days, the Wall Street Journal has learned the league is considering three musical acts for the 2015 Halftime show: Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Coldplay. But there's a twist. This year, the NFL is asking the artists for a "pay for play" scenario, where they would contribute some of their post-Super Bowl tour income or another financial contribution in exchange for the slot.
Sources said that, not surprisingly, the reception to this idea has not been positive. As noted, the artists that get the coveted spot usually see a spike in music sales the following week. Recent performers Beyonce and Bruno Mars have also used the platform to launch ticket sales for their upcoming tours.
The NFL would not confirm any acts in contention for the halftime show.
Should this "pay-to-play" idea fall short with the chosen ones, which it most likely will – there's always "Weird Al." A fan recently launched a Change.org petition to get the parody master on the half time bill. It now has over 126,000 signatures and we're fairly certain fans would pay to see this show.
The NFL season starts on Sept. 4 in Seattle, with Pharrell Williams performing before the game starts.

The Prettiest Commitment-Free Tattoos Ever
Metallic temporary tattoos are the latest trend to try
Confession time: I'm one of those people who got a tattoo when she was younger and grew to regret it shortly thereafter. (What can I say? I'm impulsive.) So when I first started seeing metallic temporary tattoos on the music festival circuit and at the beach, I was enthralled. There are now dozens of designs of these shimmery gold, black and silver tattoos in every pattern you could want. These metallic tattoos can be worn as body art or eerily realistic-looking jewelry. Most products last four to six days and rub off with ease using coconut oil or baby oil. And each tattoo comes on a sheet with multiple styles, so you can cut up the designs and remix them however you like.

Plans by Alameda County Sheriff Greg Ahern to buy a drone nearly went unnoticed. But when privacy advocates picked up on the item included in a Board of Supervisors agenda in November, the sheriff put plans to buy the spindly black four-rotor unit on hold.
That did not deter San Mateo County's Office of Emergency Services, which requested $70,000 for the same model, an AirCover QuadRotor QR425s. San Francisco also wanted a similar unit, but the city's $100,000 request, submitted in 2012, hasn't gotten off the ground. Neither did an $8,000 request by San Jose's bomb squad for a small drone.
The drone requests slipped by even the staunchest opponents because they would have been paid for with federal funds channeled to cities the Department of Homeland Security considers at high risk for a terror attack. In this case, the money came from a $26 million Urban Areas Security Initiative grant meant to help local law enforcement expand arsenals of anti-terrorism combat and surveillance equipment assembled since 9/11: night vision goggles, remote robots, surveillance cameras, license plate readers and armored vehicles that amount to unarmed tanks.
In order to meet Homeland Security funding criteria, the Urban Areas Security Initiative -- or UASI -- proposals have to have an anti-terrorism purpose. And the Bay Area ranks as a high-risk region because of targets like the Golden Gate Bridge, Shell Oil refinery, Lawrence Livermore Lab and BART, which also receives UASI funding. In reality, the agencies are also using the money for staff, training, outreach and military-grade equipment for law enforcement.
"We try to prepare our community for any disaster," said Craig Dziedzic, Bay Area UASI general manager. "The top priority is still to protect the community. That hasn't changed at all. ... But in order to be funded, you need a nexus to terrorism."
The program nevertheless has provoked a chorus of military veterans, police, privacy advocates and politicians who argue that a decade of anti-terror programs have created a wasteful layer of government that bypasses local oversight and changed the nature of policing.
Increasingly, critics say, money for the war on terror is blurring the line between local law enforcement focused on crime fighting and soldiers combating an enemy in a war zone.
As early as 2006, former San Jose police Chief Joseph McNamara voiced concern over the issue.
"Simply put, the police culture in our country has changed," he wrote in The Wall Street Journal in 2006. "An emphasis on 'officer safety' and paramilitary training pervades today's policing," he continued, "in contrast to the older culture, which held that cops didn't shoot until they were about to be shot or stabbed."
In March, the American Civil Liberties Union launched an investigation into police use of military technology and tactics.
"We want the police to keep up with the latest technology. That's critical," ACLU Senior Counsel Kara Dansky said. "But policing should be about protection, not combat."
San Mateo's AirCover drone was one of dozens of items approved March 14 by members of the Bay Area's UASI, which since 2003 has channeled $359 million in Homeland Security funds to agencies from a dozen Northern California counties. Local working groups took months to finalize the list, which was split into high- and low-priority items. San Mateo's drone request, for example, was put "below the line," even though Mark Wyss of the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office called drones efficient and cost-saving.
San Mateo's requests also included a license plate reader to be mounted along U.S. 101 to feed information to a massive database at the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center, commonly known as a fusion center. San Mateo County also requested a system to destroy improvised explosive devices, better known as IEDs, from their use by insurgents in Iraq.
Fremont put in for a BearCat armored vehicle, even though the city already has a similar one and its nearest neighbors, Newark, Union City and Hayward, each operate one. Oakland police wanted a portable surveillance camera to obtain information and intelligence on potential terrorists and their activities during critical incidents and crowd control.
Responding to the criticism, Ahern said, yes, local law enforcement officers are adopting the equipment and tactics of the military. He was referring specifically to Urban Shield training, which puts Northern California police through drills that resemble military operations.
The alarm comes from a lack of familiarity with the nonmilitary elements of UASI, Ahern said. The program allocates the largest share -- 32 percent -- of money to communications, including the East Bay radio system that allows agencies to communicate seamlessly during emergencies. UASI approved $180,000 left over from the previous year to develop SF72, an app that helps communities organize before and after a disaster.
UASI gives small agencies equipment they would never be able to purchase because of their budget shortfalls, Ahern said. Law enforcement and the communities they serve are safer for having it, too, he said.
That thinking distorts decision-making on the local level about perceived threats, said Tim Lynch, director of the Project on Criminal Justice at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank.
The subsidies bring a military mind-set to policing, he said. And the military deals with an enemy, Lynch added, "not someone with constitutional rights."

Central Line Blood Stream Infections (CL-BSI)
Central-line blood stream infection is an infection acquired by patients who have had an intravenous (IV), central, or venous line catheter placed. Catheters are used to administer medications, intravenous or nutritional supplements, and to monitor central venous pressure. They are also used to obtain blood samples that are needed to monitor sick children. Although they have numerous benefits, catheters can put patients at risk for blood stream infections. Blood stream infections are considered to be associated with a catheter if the line was in use during the 48-hour period prior to the infection.
What are we doing to maintain a low rate of CL-BSIs?
- Catheter insertion and catheter maintenance bundles
- Hand hygiene
- Education initiative involving visual posters that describe how to draw blood cultures for patients, pediatrics, and neonates under 2 months of age to ensure proper technique
- Central line insertion checklist

Anarchy-Not much to say here, other than it got a few laughs from the crowd.
Camel Walk-Excellent early version! Although Jeff's vocals are somewhat lacking (to be kind) the playing here is tight and even a bit experimental for the last two minutes. I've downloaded this version for future listening. Trey's early tone is crunchy and dissonant, and I love it!
Fire up the Ganja-A fun take on Fire on the Mountain by the Dead, this one stretches out for 15 minutes, with 5 or 6 of those minutes occupied by Jah Roy dropping some reggae dub on the crowd to raucous applause. Not essentially listening, but cool nonetheless.
Skippy the Wondermouse- Another excellent early take on this "McGrupp" kernel. After Trey's "narration" portion, the band launches into a fantastic jam at about the 5 minute mark that really soars! After a quick peak, there's another build up at the 7 minute mark that features some great rolls by Fish and more shredding by Trey until the core notes return around 10:30. Brilliant work all around.
In the Midnight Hour-Decent enough take on this Pickett track, although Jeff fits the cover band singer cliche very well. Nice licks from 3 minutes on in any event.
In summary, the quality of the recording really makes this show a standout for its era. Excellent early versions of Camel Walk and Skippy (McGrupp) with 3 "take it or leave it" tunes that are fun listens if you have the time to spare.

- Why we know so little about phone surveillance
While key details remained shrouded in secrecy Friday, this week's disclosures about a clandestine government program for tracking Internet users has placed some of Silicon Valley's biggest tech companies in an uncomfortable spotlight.
Apple, Facebook, Google and Yahoo have all denied initial reports that they gave the government wholesale access to their servers. But U.S. officials confirmed the existence of a program focused on accessing the online activity of people outside the United States, as authorized by a secretive national security court, and critics said the program could easily pull in information about U.S. users as well.
Experts warn that the government program known as Prism will make it more difficult for the companies to maintain consumer trust and expand their business both here and overseas, in an industry that depends on consumers' willingness to share intimate details of their lives online -- via emails, photos, Internet voice calls or even the websites they visit.
"These companies are trying to expand in markets around the world. Whatever assurances the government is giving to U.S. citizens, imagine if you were living in Brazil or India. I don't see how this isn't going to hurt," said Irina Raicu, who runs the Internet program at Santa Clara University's Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
The disclosures are likely to make U.S. consumers more wary, as well, experts said. Internet users generally expect that the companies to which they are entrusting their data will use or exploit it in some commercial way, said David Aaker, vice chairman of Prophet, a San Francisco marketing firm. But he added that giving that data to a third party, such as the government, is "frightening" to many people.
Industry leaders also worry the program could undercut the positions that Google and other companies have taken in resisting demands for information by autocratic regimes around the world, according to one executive who insisted on anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak on the subject.
Other Internet executives expressed frustration, both with what they called distorted news coverage and with government secrecy requirements that they said made it difficult to discuss the issue.
"The level of secrecy around the current legal procedures undermines the freedoms we all cherish," Google CEO Larry Page said in a blog post co-signed by his company's chief legal officer, David Drummond.
"We provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law," Page added. "Press reports that suggest that Google is providing open-ended access to our users' data are false, period."
In a separate statement, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg denounced what he called "the outrageous press reports about Prism." While Facebook also complies with legal demands for user information, he said, the company has never received a "blanket request" for that information, "and if we did, we would fight it aggressively."
Details of the program remained murky. Initial reports in The Washington Post and The Guardian, a British newspaper, said Thursday that nine leading Internet companies were voluntarily giving U.S. security agencies direct access to company servers. But the Post suggested Friday that the access may have involved sending requests through other equipment, while The Wall Street Journal cited sources who said the government gets copies of data but doesn't have direct access to the companies' computers.
In a statement, National Intelligence Director James Clapper said the articles contained unspecified inaccuracies, and that the program was authorized under a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
That law allows U.S. agencies to obtain information on "non-U.S. persons" once the agencies have obtained general approval for the program from the little-known Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. With that approval, the government has broad authority to demand all kinds of information about foreign individuals, without specific warrants, provided they meet certain criteria, according to Marc Zwillinger, a Washington-based attorney who advises tech companies on government information demands.
Because that information might include Internet communications between foreigners and U.S. citizens, the government could also gain access to information from U.S. citizens' accounts, said Brett Kaufman, a national security expert with the American Civil Liberties Union.
Zwillinger said the law, which has been challenged and upheld in court, gives companies no choice about complying with requests. He added that he believes Congress should reconsider giving federal agencies such broad discretion.
While the companies say they are obliged to comply with legal demands, others say the government needs companies to cooperate and provide technical assistance to process the requests smoothly.
Companies that face other types of government scrutiny have felt pressured to go along with programs like Prism, said the industry official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Google, Microsoft and other companies named as providing information under the Prism program have all faced government regulatory investigations on antitrust and consumer privacy issues in recent years.
Because the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court operates in secret, with no opportunity for the public to have input, a company facing a demand for information "has minimal interest in pushing back and typically doesn't," said Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
Page said Google reviews every government demand for information "and frequently pushes back when requests are overly broad or don't follow the correct process."
The Washington Post reported that Twitter, which has fought other government demands, doesn't participate in the Prism program; Twitter did not respond to requests for comment.
Some privacy advocates said the Internet companies' own practices may invite government interest. The companies collect vast amounts of user data and retain it for long periods in formats that make it easy to tie the information to individual users, "which is why the government wants access to it," Rotenberg said.

Chauvin woman stabbed to death on Grand Isle
Published: Sunday, June 22, 2014 at 11:20 a.m.

A Chauvin woman was stabbed to death by her boyfriend in front of the couple's 1-year-old girl, authorities said.
Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies arrested Jennifer Dorzier's longtime boyfriend, Randy Paul Marcel, of Pine Street in Chauvin, on charges of second-degree murder.
Police received word of the stabbing on the beach near Cypress Lane at 10:30 p.m. A witness looked on as Dozier was stabbed multiple times in the neck and torso, said Glen Boyd, Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office public information officer.
Marcel fled, leaving the child with Dorzier, who police found dead on the sand, Boyd said.
The couple had been drinking and the argument arose over cigarettes or drugs, Boyd said.
Marcel was found by police in a grassy area three blocks away and booked into Jefferson Parish jail, the Sheriff's Office said. He was awaiting a bond hearing this morning.
The child is in state custody.

Scripture: Exodus 26:30 NIV Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain. (also 27:8; 25:40; Acts 7:44; and Hebrews 8:5)
Observation: Moses went up the mountain to spend time with God. Not only did he bring down the Ten Commandments, he brought back plans to build a portable tabernacle. God not only told Moses; He showed Moses. Surely there must have been times when the builders went to Moses with questions about the plans and Moses said, "Here is how I saw it on the mountain."
Application: When I have questions about living out my Christian life, I can think back to how my dad did it, or how Pastor Shurance did it. Their visual examples help me better understand the written words.
Prayer: Lord, thank you for coming to earth to show us how to live. And thank you for the people you placed in my life to show me how live in my world. Amen
Pastor Leon

WASHINGTON (January 3, 2013)—U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, won a second two-year term Thursday as speaker of the house with 220 votes, losing just a handful of votes in the Republican-controlled chamber.
The election of the speaker came as the House and Senate ushered in a new Congress Thursday.
Conservative activists had called on the House to oust Boehner in the wake of the passage of a budget bill aimed at averting a plunge off the so-called fiscal cliff, but the push failed.

Right, found out about this program tonight, and decided to give it ago.
I've installed it on MacOSX 10..5.6, i then added the following values to general Configuration:
- Force networking on interface: en0
- Force IP of the server: 192.168.1.3 (my macs ip)
I then added a couple of folders in the share settings containing divx and mp3s.
My PS3 is on WiFi and my iMac is Wired.
Under the status tab it says the PS3 is found, but when I go into Video-> Search for Media Servers on the PS3 it says "No media servers were found". I've tried to turn off my firewalls (router and MacOSX) with no joy.
Under the Traces tab it ends with:

Sandra Layne begins to testify in the Oakland County Circuit Courtroom of Judge Denise Langford Morris in Pontiac, Mich., Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Layne, 75, is charged with first-degree murder in Oakland County court. There's no dispute she repeatedly shot 17-year-old Jonathan Hoffman last year in West Bloomfield Township, even while he called 911 for help. Layne's lawyer says she feared for her life because of Hoffman's erratic behavior and his use of synthetic marijuana. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)
PONTIAC, Mich. (AP) -- A 75-year-old Detroit-area woman was convicted of second-degree murder on Tuesday for shooting her teenage grandson six times during an argument last spring.
Sandra Layne's trial was not about whether she pulled the trigger last spring at her home in West Bloomfield Township. It boiled down to whether she would be convicted of first-degree murder or a lesser charge, or cleared based on self-defense.
Layne struck Jonathan Hoffman with six of 10 shots fired over a six-minute span. The jury heard a recording of the 17-year-old's desperate call to 911 and even more shots while he was on the line.
"My grandma shot me. I'm going to die. Help. I got shot again," Hoffman told a dispatcher as he gasped for air.
The jury delivered the verdict on the first full day of deliberation. It also convicted Layne of using a firearm during a felony.
Prosecutor Paul Walton told jurors that Layne never rushed out of the West Bloomfield Township home, despite claiming to be afraid of her grandson, and never called for an ambulance to help him. She claimed that she shot him after Hoffman struck her during a heated argument about money and a plan to flee Michigan because of a failed drug test.
"I wanted him to pay attention to me. He had to listen. It wasn't a conversation. It was arguing. Swearing," Layne said in tearful testimony last week, explaining why she pulled out a gun.
But Walton pointed out that Layne never complained to police about being attacked. A hospital nurse who examined her after her arrest said Layne had no injuries and spoke lovingly about Hoffman.
Defense attorney Jerome Sabbota asked jurors to view the incident through the eyes of a woman in her 70s. He said Layne was taking care of a teen who had used drugs and brought strangers to the home. Hoffman's parents were in Arizona during his senior year of high school.
"Her adrenalin is pumping. You're not calm," Sabbota said in his closing remarks. "Boom, boom, boom -- you pull the trigger."

AUGUSTA---They say crime doesn't pay, but for one man it sure does. That's because every week, he sells it, and thousands and thousands of you buy it.
"The Jail Report" is a paper of mug shots. In it, you can find the faces of your neighbors. Maybe your coworkers. Your ex. Maybe they went to high school with you or go to your church, and they hope you never see it.
Greg Rickabaugh hopes you do. He is the face behind all the faces in the "Jail Report."
"People ask me, where are you located? They think like the Chronicle, they can come and buy a copy. No. I do this out of my house," says Greg. We caught up with him on a nice day outside Metro in downtown Augusta. His office is wherever his laptop is. "There was a vacation I took to Myrtle Beach, and I put that week's paper together vacationing on the beach."
But a trip to jail? That's no vacation for any of the people in the "Jail Report" every week. Still, some don't seem to mind. Every week, Greg prints mug shots where people are smiling. "Some of these people look like they're posing for a high school yearbook photo or a Glamour Shots photo even," Greg laughs.
He admits these mug shots can be entertaining, but that's not why he prints the paper. "I wouldn't tell this to everybody, but I have a tattoo of Batman on my arm, so I think I'm a crime-fighter and all that."
Even though all these mug shots are public record, meaning anyone could get them, printing them in a paper for all to see makes them even more public. Most of these arrests, like one for trespassing, might never air on News 12 or show up in another paper, but every week you see them here. Greg hopes that exposure will make you think twice before getting arrested yourself. "When the public knows, I think it changes people's actions."
And the public wants to know. We couldn't even interview Greg without someone asking him for a copy, and when we went in search of readers, everyone asked to see my copy. They wanted to see if they knew anyone facing charges. We even met someone who has been printed in the paper. "I've actually been in the "Jail Report,""
said Jordan Christensen. He wasn't happy about it. "I find it implorable (sic) that someone would capitalize on your moment of weakness."
One of Greg's few employees, and he only has about a dozen, begs to differ. Pat Niman says she's heard some sob stories. "I try to tell them, the paper doesn't ruin their life. Their actions caused their problems. Not the paper."
Pat's one of Greg's delivery drivers, and delivery day starts early. She loads up her van before the sun comes up, and once on the road, she has fifty stops to make. "A lot of times, I pull up and there's people that's been waiting for a while for the paper. They'll come in right behind me and get the paper."
But it didn't start out that way.The first ever "Jail Report" sold 3,000 copies. That was a year and a half ago. Now, Greg sells almost 20,000 a week, and he's got more than 28,000 fans of his facebook of sorts on Facebook. Greg told us, "It's very profitable. I feed my family with this."
He's also feeding your curiosity. What are your neighbors up to this week? You'll have to wait until Wednesday to find out.
Something to point out: all of these mug shots represent arrests. They don't mean you're guilty. That's for the courts to decide. Greg says if he prints your mug shot and you are found innocent or your charges are dropped, he'll print that. He says people have already taken him up on that.
As for waiting until the suspects are convicted to post their mug shots, Greg says it's the "Jail Report" and not the "Conviction Report." During our interview, he brought up someone he personally knows who's been arrested multiple times for DUI but always got out of it with a high-priced attorney. He says if he knew his mug shot was going to be printed, he might have changed his ways. In the "Jail Report," he says everyone is equal. You can't buy your way out of it, and people have tried. He's been offered as much as $20,000 not to print a mug, but he said "no thanks".
Greg also sent me a statement about why he doesn't wait for the people he prints to go to trial. It is posted below.
We do not wait until a conviction because we are not a paper of convictions. We are a report on the jail, people who have had the law enforcement finger pointed at them for allegedly committing a crime.
We are a print edition for the mugshots that are already available online to the public on websites operated by the sheriff's offices in Richmond, Aiken and Columbia counties.
To wait for convictions allows wealthy people to hide behind their expensive lawyers and connections. We personally know of a man who continued to get DUIs and was always able to weasel his way out of it with a high-priced attorney. If he knew that his business clients would know that he was a drunk driver who endangered their children's lives every weekend, we believe he would have curtailed his actions.
If newspapers waited for convictions, you would have never known OJ Simpson was charged with murdering two people. He was found not guilty, so no one would have ever been told of his charges.
Laws give us the right to publish mugshots and charges. Again, we let people know the people are innocent until proven guilty. We cannot help how someone else takes this information and uses it. Unlike other papers, we offer people the chance to publish a not-guilty verdict. And a few people have taken us up on the offer.
Those are a few of our motivations.

9.1-15 Larceny by Receiving Stolen Property -- § 53a-119 (8) and §§ 53a-122 through 53a-125b
Revised to April 23, 2010
Note: The degree of the larceny is determined by the value of the property stolen. See § 53a-122 (first degree); § 53a-123 (second degree); § 53a-124 (third degree); § 53a-125 (fourth degree); § 53a-125a (fifth degree); § 53a-125b (sixth degree). The dollar amounts for the degrees of larceny were increased as of October 1, 2009. See the table in Introduction to Larceny for the values in effect prior to that date.
The defendant is charged [in count __] with larceny by receiving stolen property in the (first / second / third / fourth / fifth / sixth) degree. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
a person is guilty of larceny by receiving stolen property if (he/she) (receives / retains / disposes of) stolen property knowing that it has probably been stolen or believing that it has probably been stolen.1
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Stolen property
The first element is that the defendant (received / retained / disposed of) stolen property. "Stolen property" is property that has been wrongfully taken away from the person who owns or possesses it with the intent of depriving that person of it. It does not matter who stole the property or through how many hands it passed. All you need to determine is that it was stolen property. <Insert appropriate definition(s):>
To "receive" means to acquire possession, control or title, or to lend on the security of the property. Physical possession is not essential. It is sufficient if the defendant has control over the property, such as keeping it in (his/her) house or car. It is also sufficient if the defendant has received the property as security on a loan, as in the case of a pawnbroker who lends money in such a situation.
To "retain" means to keep or hold property. If a person initially received stolen property innocently, (he/she) would be guilty if (he/she) learned later that the property had been stolen and continued to retain it.
To "dispose of" means to transfer or relinquish possession or control over the property or to effect a virtually permanent or final change in its nature so as to make restoration to the owner impracticable. A sale or pledge of the goods would be a disposition; so would a use of the goods that consumed the greater portion of their economic value.
[<If appropriate:> A person who accepts or receives the use or benefit of a public utility commodity that customarily passes through a meter, knowing such commodity (has been diverted from the meter / has not been correctly registered by the meter / has not been registered at all by a meter), is guilty of larceny by receiving stolen property.]
Element 2 - Knowledge
The second element is that the defendant knew or believed that the property had probably been stolen. (He/She) need not have known with certainty that it was stolen property. If (he/she) knew or believed that more probably than not it had been stolen, that would be sufficient.2
It would not be enough for you to conclude that the defendant exercised poor judgment when (he/she) acquired the property or that (he/she) was careless and should have suspected that the property was stolen. There must have been an actual belief in the defendant's mind that the property was, or probably was, stolen.
This belief need not have been present at the time the defendant first acquired the goods. If (he/she) subsequently discovered they had been stolen, (his/her) continued retention of them or (his/her) ultimate disposition of them while having such knowledge would constitute the crime.
Element 3 - Value
The third element is that the property had a value that <insert as appropriate:>
First degree: exceeded $20,000.
Second degree: exceeded $10,000.
Third degree: exceeded $2,000.
Fourth degree: exceeded $1,000.
Fifth degree: exceeded $500.
Sixth degree: did not exceed $500.
<See Larceny, Instruction 9.1-1, for a full explanation of this element.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (received / retained / disposed of) stolen property, 2) (he/she) knew or believed that the property had probably been stolen, and 3) the value of the stolen property was <insert value according to degree charged>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
larceny by receiving stolen property, then you shall find the defendant guilty.
On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant
not guilty.
1 The statute concludes with "unless the property is received, retained, disposed of with purpose to restore it to the owner." This portion of the statute should not be included unless the defense has introduced evidence that he or she received the property with the purpose of restoring it to its owner. It is then the state's burden to disprove it. "Whether the defendant received, retained or disposed of the property with the purpose of restoring it to the owner is peculiarly within his personal knowledge. We conclude that [this part] of the statute is not an essential element of [larceny by receiving stolen property.]" State v. Foster, 45 Conn. App. 369, 378, cert. denied, 243 Conn. 904 (1997).
2 See generally State v. Nunes, 58 Conn. App. 296, 300-302, cert. denied, 254 Conn. 944 (2000).
See generally State v. Desimone, 241 Conn. 439, 452- 58 (1997) (on aggregation); State v. Foster, supra, 45 Conn. App. 375-77 (on knowledge).
This subsection of the larceny statute differs from the others in that specific intent is not an element. State v. Perez, 181 Conn. 299, 315 (1980); State v. Foster, 45 Conn. App. 369, 378, cert. denied, 243 Conn. 904 (1997). Because intent to deprive the owner is not an element, it does not matter whether the person from whom the defendant received the property was its owner. It is the facts surrounding the defendant's receipt of the property from which the jury infers guilty knowledge. See State v. Gabriel, 192 Conn. 405, 409-17 (1984) (discussing guilty knowledge).
Larceny by receiving stolen property of a motor vehicle and using a motor vehicle without the owner's permission, § 53a-119b, are separate offenses. State v. Foster, supra, 45 Conn. App. 383-87.
"[P]ossession of recently stolen
property raises a permissible inference of criminal connection with the
property, and if no explanation is forthcoming, the inference of criminal
connection may be as a principal in the theft, or as a receiver under the
receiving statute, depending upon the other facts and circumstances which may be
proven." (Internal quotation marks omitted.) State v. Rivera, 39 Conn.
App. 96, 104, cert. denied, 235 Conn. 921 (1995).
