1. Technical Field
The present invention relates in general to the field of computers, and in particular to intranet networks. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for allowing a user on a backup client device on an enterprise's intranet to access a backup admin key from a backup server on the intranet.
2. Description of the Related Art
Early modern computers were stand-alone. As such, maintaining security for data on the computer was simple, since all that was necessary was to take steps to ensure that only authorized persons were allowed physical access to the computer. However, computers soon began "talking" to each other over networks, including Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs), including the Internet. A LAN that uses the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) standard has come to be called an "intranet."
Since only authorized users should be given access to an intranet and its resources, many enterprises use a Client Security Software (CSS) system, such as depicted in
SRK 104 is used to encrypt an admin key 106, which can be stored encrypted in any volatile or non-volatile memory in the client computer. Admin key 106, when decrypted, can be used to encrypt/decrypt other keys used by a user, including a user logon key 108, a user storage key 110, and a user signature key 112 key, which are (respectively) keys required for a user to wirelessly log on to an intranet, to store data in a mass storage resource connected with the intranet, and to digitally sign transmissions on the intranet.
As noted above, the TPM chipset 102 is physically within the client computer. If the TPM chipset 102 should become unavailable to the user of that client computer, then the user will be unable to utilize the intranet, since there will be no way for the user to decrypt and use the admin key 106. For example, consider the scenario in which a user has enabled the CSS system 100 on his laptop, and he wishes to log onto his company's intranet. Just as he is preparing to do so, his laptop screen cracks. While the user can offload all of his data, including his encrypted (by SRK 104) admin key 106, onto another (backup) computer, the CSS data is inaccessible without the SRK 104 that is stored in and available to only the broken laptop.
What is needed, therefore, is a method and system that allows a user to access his admin key if he is unable to access the SRK that encrypted that admin key.
The present invention is thus directed to a method and system for remotely and securely storing a user's admin key to gain access to an intranet. The user's admin key and intranet user identification (ID) are encrypted with an enterprise's public key, and together are then concatenated into a single backup admin file, which is stored in the user's primary client computer. If the user is on a backup client computer, the single backup admin file is transferred from the primary client computer to the backup client computer. If the user needs his admin key, he will initially be unable to access it from the backup client computer. The user thus sends his encrypted single backup admin file to a backup server and his unencrypted intranet user ID to an intranet authentication server, which has an interface to the backup server. The backup server decrypts the user's encrypted backup admin file using the enterprise's private key to obtain the user's admin key and the user's intranet user ID, and then sends the user's decrypted intranet user ID to the intranet authentication server. The intranet authentication server compares the intranet user ID from the backup admin file with the intranet user ID that was sent in the clear from the backup client computer. If the intranet user ID's match, then the authentication server sends the backup server authorization to send the backup client computer a copy of the decrypted admin key, which can then be used in the backup client computer.
The above, as well as additional purposes, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further purposes and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where:
With reference now to
Also connected to system bus 208 is a memory controller 210, which controls data being read from and written to a system memory 212. System bus 208 is also connected to an input/output (I/O) bus bridge 214, which couples an I/O bus 216 to system bus 208, relaying and/or transforming data transactions from one bus to the other. Peripheral devices such as nonvolatile storage 218, which may be a hard disk drive, and input device 220, which may include a conventional mouse, a trackball, or the like, is connected to I/O bus 216. Also connected to I/O bus 216 is a network interface 222, which permits data communication with a server 224. Server 224 may be an authentication or backup server (described in further detail below), and may use the same general hardware architecture depicted for data processing system 200, which as depicted is preferably a client computer of server 224.
The exemplary embodiment shown in
With reference now to
Encryption engine 302, using EPK 304 (which uses random AES key 310), encrypts and concatenates APK 306 and IUID 308 into a single encrypted Backup Admin File (BAF) 312. Encryption engine 302, preferably still using EPK 304, also encrypts the random AES key 310 to create an encrypted AES key 314. The encrypted BAF 312 and the encrypted AES key 314 are combined into a single backup.fil 316, which is stored in (preferably a non-volatile) memory within client computer 300. Alternatively, backup.fil 316 contains only encrypted BAF 312, and AES key 314 remains unencrypted but still known and available for future use in decrypting backup.fil 316.
With reference now to
Referring again to
Backup server 320 contains an Enterprise PRivate Key (EPRK) 324, which is the private key that corresponds with the Enterprise Public Key (EPK) 304 shown in
Authentication server 321 contains a UserID comparator 328, which allows authentication server 321 to compare the CIUID 318 with the IUID 308 received from backup server 320 after backup server 320 decrypts backup.fil 310. If the two Intranet User IDs (IUIDs) match, then authentication server 321 will send backup server 320 authorization signal allowing backup server 320 to send the backup client computer 300-backup a decrypted Admin Private Key (APK) 330, which is the same as APK 306.
With reference now to
Referring now to
As described in block 420, the backup server then decrypts the "backup.fil" file, preferably using the enterprise's private key that matches the enterprise public key (shown in block 404 of
If the IUID's do not match (block 426), then a message is sent from the backup server to the backup client computer informing the user of the backup client computer that her request for a copy of her Admin Private Key (APK) has been denied, and the process ends (terminator block 432).
It should be understood that at least some aspects of the present invention may alternatively be implemented in a program product. Programs defining functions on the present invention can be delivered to a data storage system or a computer system via a variety of signal-bearing media, which include, without limitation, non-writable storage media (e.g., CD-ROM), writable storage media (e.g., a floppy diskette, hard disk drive, read/write CD ROM, optical media), and communication media, such as computer and telephone networks including Ethernet. It should be understood, therefore in such signal-bearing media when carrying or encoding computer readable instructions that direct method functions in the present invention, represent alternative embodiments of the present invention. Further, it is understood that the present invention may be implemented by a system having means in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware as described herein or their equivalent.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, while the present invention has been described as being used with an enterprise's intranet, it may also be used with any network system in which an admin key may be inaccessible as described above. Similarly, while the backup server and the authentication server have been described as separate servers, alternatively their function may be incorporated into a single server.

These are the details Government-backed hackers on Twitter want from you
Microsoft also downplayed the fact that it did not inform users about hacking attempts during 2011, choosing to ask them to reset their passwords instead. The Redmond giant maintained that it could not pinpoint the sources of such attacks and that the attacks originated from several countries.
Other large corporations like Facebook, Google and Twitter have also toughened their stance on hacking attempts over the years, choosing to alert their users as soon as they detected any breach.
Recently, Twitter sent alert messages to select individuals who are directly or indirectly related to the anonymous browser Tor which is often used to access the dark web. According to the Telegraph, the list of recipients includes Coldhak, a Canadian non-profit organisation, Noris Fabio, a security researcher and Runa Sandvik, a security adviser.
Twitter could be charged with criminal offence if it tips you about Government snoops
It's possible your account may not have been an intended target of the suspected activity, but we wanted to alert you as soon as possible. We recognize that this may be of particular concern if you choose to Tweet using a pseudonym," said Twitter in the messages in question. Twitter has also suggested affected users to visit and take online security tips from the "Tor Project" or EFF's "Protecting Yourself on Social Networks."
In June, Apple CEO Tim Cook launched a scathing attack at his rivals Facebook and Google, accusing them of building their businesses by compromising users' privacy.
Tim Cook is very pissed off with Facebook and Google
Speaking at an event in Washington DC, Cook said, "I'm speaking to you from Silicon Valley, where some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetise it. We think that's wrong. And it's not the kind of company that Apple wants to be."

SIXTEENTH ISSUE – "Military Journalism in Russia and the CIS "
In the sociology of media, the question of military journalism occupies a special place as one carrying significant political and institutional-specific implications. This is particularly obvious in the case of the USSR, where censorship, ideological challenges related to conflicts, and inaccessibility of the army have hindered attempts to gain knowledge of the production process regarding news and information surrounding the military. Since the fall of the USSR, Russian media space has experienced an opening and a liberalization applicable to military journalism. The old Soviet army newspapers have continued to exist (Krasnaia Zvezda, for example) while civil titles dedicated to military topics have appeared (for instance, the military supplement Nezavisimoe Voennoe Obozrenie of the daily newspaper Nezavisimaia Gazeta). At the same time, new independent media have gravitated toward military topics, fed by specialized civil correspondents. Continue reading

Chapters 9 - 11 Summary
In Chapter 9, Betty throws Leslie out of the meat locker. Then Leslie is chased by Pete. Randy and Jack manage to stun Betty and Stewart badly enough to give them an opportunity to lock the two in the meat locker. Randy takes a knife from the kitchen and the two go in search of the girls. They notice the basement door is open. Stephanie, meanwhile, runs into Randy as she tries to find her way in the dark. They decide Pete has taken Leslie into the basement when they find one of her earrings on the steps. Jack orders Stephanie to hide in the coat closet while he and Randy go after Leslie.
In Chapter 10, Barsidious White is waiting at the top of the steps that lead to the outside door to the basement. He realizes the game inside the house is going well. He hopes it will not be finished before he has a chance to introduce the real stakes of the game and show the real extent of his power. He listens to the sounds inside the house and realizes the players will soon be in the basement.
As Jack walks down the stairs into the basement, he is met by the odor of rotten eggs. Randy will not come downstairs until Jack suggests there may be more guns in the basement. Jack opens the first door of the three they find in the basement. They find a room set up like a living room but with a red pentagram on the wall. The saying: "The wages of sin is death" is written below the pentagram. In the next room there is also a pentagram and a mirror, which fascinates Randy because it does not show his reflection. Each room they enter branches into more rooms. As the men search through the basement for Leslie, they hear the singing again. At the conclusion of the chapter, Jack is sucked through a door into a dark room, separating him from Randy.
In Chapter 11, Randy feels himself coming completely unglued after he is separated from Jack. He hears Betty and Stewart talking about how they have locked the basement door so Jack and his group are trapped. Betty reminds Stewart that they have to open the door for "him" in order to keep up their part of the deal. Randy hears them leave the room and finds the only door that is unlocked is the one that Stewart and Betty went out. Although he doesn't want to, Randy opens the door. He is able to see a door, set at the top of three steps, that he believes leads to the outside. As he gets closer, Randy realizes the door is unlocked.
As Randy moves toward the door, he sees White walk in through it. Randy is hidden from White's line of sight and is able to jump into a passageway to keep from being seen. Randy has a brief moment when he thinks it might be better for him to join forces with White, but then White walks away and Randy hears a door close. Randy searches the nearby rooms and finds a shotgun. He hears footsteps and Betty's voice calling Stewart. He walks through another door and finds himself in a tunnel. Randy hears something that sounds like a hatch open, then footsteps running toward him.
Chapters 9 - 11 Analysis
The tone of the book becomes more and more ominous as it becomes clear to Jack's group that Betty and her weird family has turned completely against them and intends to kill them. It is also during these chapters that the action of the novel moves to the forbidden basement. It is indicated by the book that it is in the basement that the real game that White is playing with the group will begin. The basement is smelly, wet and made up of a maze of rooms, hallways and tunnels that branch off one another in a pattern that seems to make no sense to Jack and his group. Randy reasons as he tries to find his way through the basement that the house does not sit on a square foundation as the basement seems much larger than the house above it.
It is also in this section of the novel that White enters the house. Randy has overheard Betty and Stewart talking about the deal that they made to unlock the door for White. When Randy sees the unlocked door, he hopes he can make it out, but is interrupted by White's entrance. For a brief moment, Randy considers joining forces with White.
It is also in these chapters that the characters, particularly Jack's bunch, become separated. The authors take advantage of these times of separation to focus in on each characters thoughts and feelings as they are trapped in the house. Stephanie, for instance, is the first to escape from the meat locker and is scared because she is lost and alone. When she is reunited with Jack and Randy, Jack orders her into the closet while they go to look for Leslie. While Stephanie interprets his actions as not caring enough about her to come look for her while he is willing to look for Leslie, Jack is actually trying to protect Stephanie by putting her in a place where he knows where she is and that she is safe. All Stephanie can think about, though, is that Jack's abandonment of her is another sign that he does not love her. Stephanie seems to have an issue with abandonment as she believes she is the one who is being abandoned. Notice, however, that of all of the people in the novel, Stephanie has been the one who has run away from her troubles, twice. The first time she ran away was when Betty was tormenting her with the ice cube. The appearance of the Tin Man was the only thing that kept her in the house. Stephanie also ran out of the meat cooler at her first opportunity, without staying to help fight for the others' freedom as Leslie did. Once Stephanie has run away from her problem, however, she is hurt and scared when she finds herself alone.
Leslie, meanwhile, is believed to have been apprehended by Pete. Jack continues his role as leader. Randy, however, is beginning to appear to be the weak link in the chain. His fear is beginning to cause him to think irrationally. He is concerned only with saving his own self instead of the others. In fact, he admits that he would probably be willing to sacrifice Leslie, the woman to whom he is practically married, if it meant being able to save himself. Randy thinks about his own cowardliness. He remembers his father telling him not to be a wimp when he beat the boy with a belt. This insight into Randy's background gives the reader an idea why Stewart's actions with his belt before supper disturbed Randy so badly.
One question that is raised in Chapter 11 is a strange "she" who is mentioned in that chapter. It may seem at first this "she" is either Leslie or Stephanie, but it could also be another playing in the game who has not yet been introduced.

Few population-based data are available on the quality of outpatient care provided by resident physicians in the US.
To assess the quality of outpatient care delivered by resident and staff physicians.
Cross-sectional analysis. We used chi-square tests to compare resident and staff physician performance on 19 quality indicators. Using multivariable logistic regression, we controlled for sex, age, race/ethnicity, insurance, and metropolitan status.
33,900 hospital-based outpatient visits from the 1997-2004 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).
Resident and staff physician performance on 19 quality indicators.
Resident physicians were more likely to care for younger, non-white, female, urban, and Medicaid-insured patients. In both adjusted and unadjusted analyses, residents outperformed staff on four of 19 measures including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor use for congestive heart failure (57.0% vs. 27.6%; p=<0.001), diuretic use for hypertension (57.8% vs. 44.0%; p=<0.001), statin use for hyperlipidemia (56.3% vs. 40.4%; p=0.001), and routine blood pressure screening (85.3% vs. 79.6%; p=0.02). Residents and staff performed at similar levels for counseling (range 15.7 to 32.0%). Residents and staff performed similarly well on measures capturing inappropriate prescribing or overuse of diagnostic testing (range 48.6 to 100%). Residents and staff performed similarly on measures of appropriate prescribing (range from 30.9% to 69.2%).
Primary care provided by resident physicians is of similar or higher quality than that provided by staff physicians. Significant opportunity remains to improve quality of outpatient care provided by all physicians. Residency training programs should devote attention to improving outpatient quality of care delivered by residents.
Despite ongoing efforts to improve the quality of primary care in the United States, deficiencies persist.1 In recognition of the importance of residency training in ambulatory medicine, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) increased the required time residents spend in primary care continuity clinics starting in July 2009 2 and has supported involvement of residents in quality improvement efforts. Targeting trainees is prudent, as practice patterns are largely determined during the residency training years. Quality of care delivered by internal medicine residents is particularly important with respect to addressing health care disparities, as residents provide a substantial amount of care to minority and uninsured patients.3,4
Studies have shown increased quality of inpatient care delivered in teaching hospitals relative to non-teaching hospitals.5,6 However, few population-based data are available on the quality of outpatient care provided by resident physicians in the United States. Although prior studies have reported comparable or increased quality of outpatient care delivered by residents, these studies have been limited by their lack of a comparison group 7 or by their focus on specific diseases or geographical areas.8,9 We analyzed data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). Our objective was to compare the quality of outpatient care delivered by resident physicians and staff physicians in the United States, across a spectrum of previously defined and published quality measures.10
We analyzed data from the Outpatient Department component of the NHAMCS collected between 1997 and 2004. The NHAMCS is administered by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). It uses a multistage stratified probability sampling procedure to obtain nationally representative estimates of outpatient visits to hospital-based clinics on an annual basis. Hospital-based physicians (with staff assistance) or hospital staff complete NCHS standard encounter forms, including data on visit diagnoses, over a four-week period. The survey contains items on patient demographics (with the patient's race and ethnicity determined by the physician), up to three reasons for the visit (in the patient's own words), visit diagnoses (primary diagnosis plus two 'other' diagnoses), diagnostic and screening services ordered, counseling and education provided, and up to six medications. Listed medications included prescription and nonprescription medications that the physician prescribed on the day of the visit or prior to the visit and that the physician expected the patient to continue taking. In addition, the physician indicates whether she is the patient's primary care physician and whether she is a staff or resident physician. We did not analyze NHAMCS data after 2004 because the later surveys did not identify resident physicians. Ninety percent of the selected hospitals participated, and item non-response rates were generally 5% or less.
We examined a set of 20 outpatient quality indicators, which was previously described in detail for use in NHAMCS.10 Briefly, the quality indicators were developed in accordance with the Institute of Medicine's criteria11 of clinical importance, scientific soundness, and feasibility for indicator selection as well as criteria specific to the limitations of the data source. Limitations of the data source included visit-based data, unreliable data elements and subpopulations, and inconsistent inclusion of variables over years. Indicators were selected if they were meaningful when measured at individual patient visits and did not rely on data elements or subpopulations that are considered unreliable according to NCHS standards. The quality indicators fall into five categories: 1) medical management of chronic diseases (ten measures; e.g. beta blocker use for coronary artery disease); 2) appropriate antibiotic use (two measures; e.g. no antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infection); 3) preventive counseling (three measures; e.g. exercise counseling in adults at moderate to high risk for coronary heart disease defined as having two or more risk factors including a history of smoking, men >45 years old or women >55 years old, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, or obesity and excluding those with known CAD or diabetes mellitus); 4) screening tests (four measures; e.g. routine blood pressure screening), and 5) inappropriate prescribing in elderly patients, defined as age ≥ 65 (e.g. avoiding use of 33 inappropriate medications such as benzodiazepines). We defined performance on quality indicators as the percentage of eligible visits receiving recommended care (i.e., the higher the percentage the better the performance), based on practice guidelines or, in the absence of authoritative practice guidelines, consensus expert statements. We excluded visits from both the numerator and denominator of a measure if the patient had clinical contraindications to a recommended treatment. For example, we computed the measure 'angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor use for congestive heart failure (CHF)' as the number of visits by adults with a visit diagnosis of CHF who had a documented prescription of ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers divided by the number of visits by adults diagnosed as having CHF. We excluded visits by adults with diagnoses of hyperkalemia or angioedema from both the numerator and the denominator. We could only capture disease conditions and exclusions if the diagnosis in question was listed on the day of the visit, and if the medication in question was listed on the day of the visit. Because this study used publicly available anonymous data, the Institutional Review Board of Boston University Medical Center deemed it exempt from review.
Using SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC), we performed analyses using the patient visit as the unit of analysis. We calculated standard errors for all results as recommended by the NCHS, which accounts for the sampling weights and the complex multi-stage sampling design of the NHAMCS.12 According to the NCHS, estimates with greater than a 30% relative standard error (i.e. the standard error divided by the estimate expressed as a percentage of the estimate) or based on fewer than 30 sample cases may be unreliable. In accordance with the NCHS analytical guidelines, we combined data from 1997-2004 in order to generate reliable national estimates. We excluded one quality indicator (antithrombotic therapy for atrial fibrillation), because it had a sample size that was too small to be considered reliable, leaving us with 19 quality indicators.
The primary outcomes were mean performance rates on quality indicators analyzed according to physician status (resident vs. staff physician). We compared mean performance rates with chi-square analyses (PROC SURVEYFREQ), followed by multivariable logistic regression analyses (PROC SURVEYLOGISTIC) controlling for patient sex, age, race/ethnicity, medical insurance, and metropolitan status. We selected these variables because they have been shown to be associated with differences in quality of care.13,14
Table 1 shows characteristics of patient visits made to resident and staff physicians. Resident physicians were more likely to care for younger, non-white, female, and urban patients, as well as patients with Medicaid. Resident and staff physicians cared for patients with similar numbers of comorbid medical conditions and from similar regions of the United States. The proportion of visits to resident and staff physicians for preventive care versus treatment was similar.
Table 2 shows mean performance rates on quality indicators for resident and staff physicians. In both unadjusted and adjusted analyses, residents outperformed staff physicians on four measures: ACE inhibitor use for congestive heart failure (57.0% vs. 27.6%; adjusted p=<0.001), diuretic use for hypertension (57.8% vs. 44.0% adjusted p=<0.001), statin use for hyperlipidemia (56.3% vs. 40.4% adjusted p=0.001), and routine blood pressure screening (85.3% vs. 79.6%; adjusted p=0.024). Residents and staff performed at similar levels for counseling on smoking cessation, and for exercise and nutrition counseling among moderate to high-risk adults; performance rates ranged from 15.7 to 32.0%. Residents and staff performed similarly well on measures capturing inappropriate prescribing or overuse of diagnostic testing. These measures included avoiding inappropriate prescribing in elderly patients, benzodiazepine use for the treatment of depression, antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infections, and ordering routine complete blood counts, urinalyses and electrocardiograms; performance rates varied from 48.6% to 100%. Residents and staff performed similarly on measures of appropriate prescribing including: treatment of depression (prescribing antidepressants, psychotherapy or mental health counseling), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or quinolone use for urinary tract infections, aspirin and beta blocker use for coronary artery disease, and inhaled corticosteroid use for asthma. Performance rates on these measures of appropriate prescribing were between 30.9% and 69.2%.
Compared with staff physicians, resident physicians provide primary care that is of similar or higher quality. Residents outperformed staff physicians on four of nineteen quality indicators including ACE inhibitor use for congestive heart failure, diuretic use for hypertension, statin use for hyperlipidemia and routine blood pressure screening. Residents and staff perform similarly on preventive counseling, measures of avoiding inappropriate prescribing or overuse of diagnostic testing, and on measures of appropriate prescribing.
Our results are congruent with previous studies that have demonstrated increased quality of care provided by resident physicians on specific measures or at single sites.8,9 As in previous studies, we found that resident physicians are less likely than staff physicians to prescribe antibiotics for respiratory conditions where antibiotics are rarely indicated.8 Both resident and staff physician performance revealed deficits in quality of care. This confirms previously identified gaps in compliance with evidence-based guidelines for blood pressure screening,15 diet and exercise counseling,16 statin use for moderate to high risk patients,17 and aspirin use for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.1,18,19
Resident physicians provide a disproportionate amount of care for vulnerable populations. In our study, residents were more likely than staff physicians to care for non-white and Medicaid patients, which is consistent with prior studies.3,4 This finding suggests that improving the quality of resident outpatient care might improve the quality of care delivered to underserved populations and hence potentially reduce disparities in care.
Our analyses are limited because physicians were only able to list a limited number of diagnoses (up to three) and medications (up to six). Thus, some diagnoses and medications may not have been captured on the day of the NHAMCS study visit. The six-medication limit would cause us to underestimate quality for indicators that call for use of a specific drug, but overestimate quality when the measure suggests drug avoidance. Hence, we would expect measures capturing inappropriate prescribing (avoiding inappropriate prescribing in elderly patients, benzodiazepine use for the treatment of depression, and antibiotic use for upper respiratory tract infections) to be somewhat overestimated in our comparisons, while measures of appropriate prescribing (treatment of depression, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or quinolone use for urinary tract infections, aspirin and beta blocker use for coronary artery disease, and inhaled corticosteroid use for asthma) would be underestimated. Similarly, lack of complete diagnostic information might cause us to underestimate valid contraindications to otherwise indicated drugs. This problem seems most likely for ACE inhibitor in CHF, beta-blocker for CAD, diuretic use for HTN, and statin use for hyperlipidemia. However, these problems would only affect our conclusions regarding the relative quality of care by the two groups of physicians if these limitations applied differentially to residents or staff physicians. We know of no a priori reason to believe this is so and in fact believe that patients cared for by resident physicians have a similar burden of illness as those cared for by staff physicians, as evidenced by our finding that patients in each group were as likely to have a comorbid condition and had a similar number of comorbid conditions. Thus, we doubt that the absence of data on additional diagnoses and medications has introduced bias.
Our analyses are also limited by underreporting of preventive counseling behaviors in physician-report-based studies such as the NHAMCS, in which counseling behaviors are underreported for two reasons: 1) physicians underreport counseling behavior as compared to procedural behaviors,20 and 2) visit-based data are unable to capture counseling behaviors that did not occur at the index visit. We doubt that staff physicians are more likely than residents to underreport counseling behaviors; however, because staff physicians have most likely seen their patients over a longer period of time, counseling is more likely to have occurred at a prior visit. One of the quality measures, blood pressure screening, is often carried out by medical assistants and may therefore reflect a difference in practice performance rather than individual physician performance. However, as it is incumbent upon the physician to ensure that screening tests be performed, the difference in blood pressure screening may still reflect a difference in physician attention to this screening test. Our study data were limited to hospital-based clinics and do not include visits to community-based clinics. Thus our findings may not be generalizable to those settings. Finally, because our study period preceded the ACGME-mandated increased ambulatory requirements, we have not captured any improvements in quality of care that may have resulted from this change.
Why are there differences in the quality of outpatient care provided by resident and staff physicians? Resident physicians are in the midst of training, thereby increasing the likelihood that they have learned current evidence-based based guidelines. Residents are also closely precepted by faculty, who may be more likely than non-teaching staff physicians to practice according to current guidelines. Residents performed particularly well on measures that are reinforced by their inpatient training, such as ACE inhibitor use for CHF and statin use for hyperlipidemia. Finally, since we were unable to control for the type of institution (academic vs. non-academic), the higher quality of care delivered by residents may reflect differences in systems of care provided at academic versus non-academic institutions.
This study highlights the significant opportunity that remains to improve quality of outpatient care in the United States, including within residency training programs. While ongoing quality improvement projects aimed at staff physicians target the majority of care delivered in the US, quality improvement programs targeting residency training sites are an important area for future interventions. Despite the fact that the majority of care is delivered in ambulatory settings, residents spend the majority of their training years in inpatient settings. Residency training programs should devote attention not only to augmenting time spent in the ambulatory setting as mandated by the ACGME but also on improving outpatient quality of care delivered by residents. Residents might participate in quality improvement projects in order to learn more about quality measurement and process improvement. Such efforts could be guided by the development of a standard curriculum. As more emphasis is being placed on performance-based compensation, this is an increasingly important area to which residency programs should devote attention. Quality improvement interventions that address specific barriers at the system, provider, and patient level are necessary in order to reduce the discrepancy between clinical practice and best evidence.21,22 Research on factors contributing to deficiencies and disparities in quality of care will inform the design of tailored interventions.

My wife and I will be in Toronto next week and we both appreciate breakfasts that knock our socks off. We call the San Francisco area home. We'll be staying downtown (at the Sheraton Centre) but we'll have a car and are also fine taking public transit while in search of that amazing stack of pancakes or omelet that will kepp us talking about it for a few hours.
Also - We'll be going to the Oakland-Blue Jays games at Rogers Centre, are there any hidden food treats at the ballpark that we should know about?

No static CD could ever match the intensity of one of Little Joe Washington's live shows, which are one part gospel revival and one part juke-joint boogaloo breakdown, but Texas Fire Line sure comes close. Recorded live in the studio (that sure helps), Fire Line is a frenzied tour de force from one of Houston's biggest musical treasures and free-spirited local icons. Full of Washington's Gulf Coast guitar-slinging and suffused with Memphis soul (trumpeter Al Gomez and saxman Mark Kazanoff shine on every song), Fire Line climaxes on the blustery, bitter blues of "Ike," which proves even a mighty hurricane is no match for Little Joe's singular guitar alchemy.
Few characters are as complicated as those built by the mighty brain of Tom Stoppard. Happily, actors as fine as Todd Waite make sure that all that complexity gets translated to the stage. The guiding force of the Alley Theatre's supercharged production of Rock 'n' Roll this past spring, Waite played Jan, a Czech lover of music. As Jan, he created a character who was both intellectually powerful and emotionally tender, a man who wanted to avoid politics even as he stood up for what he believed was right. Best of all, he made us fall in love with Stoppard all over again.
The kvetching character at the center of Clifford Odets's Awake and Sing! is no walk in the park for any actress — she's mean, destructive, even cruel. But Luisa Amaral-Smith managed to find the soul of Bessie Berger, the iron-fisted matriarch of the Jewish family Odets created. Bessie is the most terrible of mothers, crushing her family members even as she sets about trying to make them successful. She is, in short, the sort of mother who keeps therapists in business. But Amaral-Smith lifted Bessie out of the ick of caricature to create a fully realized woman — both deeply troubled and amazingly real, she was the embodiment of what acting is all about.
No one is more dedicated to the maxim "less is more" than Gallery Sonja Roesch. Focused on reductive and concept-based art, the gallery breaks with the pop culture norm and instead shows work by artists who rebel against visual overload. Case in point is German painter Mario Reis, a frequent guest at the gallery. Reis is well known for his "river paintings" (canvases he submerges in river beds around the world, allowing the minerals in the water to stain an image on the surface). Reis makes almost no attempt to control his images, and once they're done, he resists embellishments and manipulation. Keeping his actions as an artist to a minimum, Reis nonetheless produces evocative works. In a scene filled with noisy, complicated art, Gallery Sonja Roesch is a respite showing uncluttered works that resonate with viewers.
Ben Tecumseh DeSoto and Ann Walton Sieber's photography exhibit "Understanding Poverty" at DiverseWorks was harrowing for its unflinching look at Houston's homeless. The show chronicled, from the late '80s to today, the story of Judy Pruitt, a.k.a. "Snow," an abandoned street kid begging, tricking and stealing to survive, as well as that of Ben White, a homeless man DeSoto and Sieber followed. The photos delved into the traumatized psychology of poverty and revealed hard truths about the broken-down system that perpetuates it. "DeSoto, who was a staff photographer at the Houston Chronicle for 25 years, has employed a photojournalist technique, and his imagery is augmented by Sieber's large chunks of text and quotes from literature. There were disturbing images of crack and heroin use, domestic abuse and life on the street. One section of photos addressed city programs and initiatives to document and help those in need. While DeSoto and Sieber's subject matter was hard to crack at first, once one connected with it, it became absorbing and rewarding. It was an ugly world, but one worth getting lost in.
Painter/sculptor Patrick Medrano and photographer Katy Anderson were two of the winners of last January's Mastermind Awards, and we just thought they deserved another win. The married couple conceptualized the Fodice Foundation, an artist residency compound housed in an abandoned WPA school in the East Texas town of Fodice. To hear the two talk about the project, one imagines established sites like Donald Judd's Chinati Foundation in Marfa or Robert Wilson's Watermill Center on Long Island, but obviously more intimate and homey — a place more about ideas, location and history than art-world clout. Each year, the foundation will offer up to six artists concurrent residencies for up to two months, for an estimated total of 24 artists per year. The visiting artists will have the opportunity to focus on their own work, and they will also become integral parts of a very depressed community where the arts are currently neglected. In addition to six artist studios, the Fodice compound will include housing, a fully equipped workshop, kitchen facilities, offices, a gallery space and a performance space, as well as permanent installations. We can't wait to make the road trip and check out this naturally collaborative team's ultimate collaboration.

After Donor's Letter, Sen. Feinstein Supports Study That Could Delay Fish-Protection Plan
Dec. 10: This post has been corrected.
This is one of our editors' picks from our ongoing roundup of Investigations Elsewhere.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein threw a wrench in plans to protect the fish population of a California delta after a deep-pocketed corporate farmer -- and campaign donor -- asked her to, reports California Watch, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.
Based on studies showing potential danger to the fish population, the federal government planned to curtail irrigation pumping at the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The plan was bad news for Stewart Resnick, who owns 118,000 acres of orchards in the water-strapped state.
So he wrote to Feinstein, a friend to whom he, his wife and the executives of his companies have donated over the past two decades, albeit a relatively modest $29,000. He urged her to intervene, calling the studies "sloppy science."
The senator promptly wrote to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, asking them to re-examine the science behind their plan. The administration agreed.
Feinstein's spokesman, Gil Duran, said the senator's letter was "based on what she believes to be the best policy for California and the nation. No other factors play a role in her decisions."
In all, the Resnicks and their executives have made political donations to the tune of nearly $4 million, including $246,000 to Democratic political committees. Their donation pattern seems nonpartisan, reports California Watch, with the money following who's in power.
Correction:The headline on this story previously said that a study Sen. Feinstein supports is "helping slow down" a fish protection plan. In fact, the plan is already in place. While the study may delay it, it hasn't yet done so.
1 comments
This is sloppy investigation on the part of ProPublica. The cutoff of water from the San Joaquin valley is a complicated one, and truly something to be investigated in it's own right, I'm highly suspicious of the ability of a Senator to persuade the controlling groups by just a single letter - more likely, this is the straw which broke the camel's back.

Hey everybody, just joined the forum to ask some advice.
Basically, I got my first smartphone almost two years ago. It was a Droid 2 Global which I received as a gift. It was part of an unlimited talk/text/data family plan on Verizon. While I loved the phone, a few months back it bought the farm. Fortunately, it was a few weeks after my contract expired so I checked out the phones that Verizon had available. I ended up settling on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a variety of reasons, primarily the excellent reviews from reputable sources such as Cnet, and an attractive price of about $50 on Amazon.com. As a point of reference, this was back in September.
Needless to say, going from the Droid 2 running Android Gingerbread with Motoblur to the GNex with the bone-stock Ice Cream Sandwich was incredible, and overwhelming. A little bit too overwhelming, in fact. While it was an excellent device, some of the features, particularly just the size of it (I've got pretty large hands and all, but a 4.65" AMOLED display is a pretty daunting prospect for one-handed use.) were a bit off putting at first, and my concern about becoming contractually obligated to a phone I was unhappy with lead me to return it before the 2-week grace period expired. I figured I'd switch back to my brother's old Droid 2, and see what phones came out in the next couple of months.
And that brings us to where I am today. Rocking a janky Droid 2 with a busted touchscreen and a giant skull sticker on the back, and scoping out the available phones. I've gotten over my hangups about large phone sizes, and accepted that that's just one aspect of the current generation of mobile technology, and have definitely come around to seeing the appeal of the Nexus line of devices, and the pure Google experience they offer. The Galaxy Nexus is available for like, a penny on Amazon which is an attractive price and the Nexus 4 has just been released so those are really the two phones I'm interested in.
The issue with the GNex, of course, is that now it's 2 months older and 2 months more out of date than it was when I was initially considering it, and so my concerns about being contracted to an out-of-date phone are even more real now. I mean, does it really make sense to buy the previous model of something when the next iteration is already out?
On the other hand, the Nexus 4 is not currently available on Verizon, so I'd have to leave my family plan to get it. Given the price that I'm paying right now, I think buying the unlocked Nexus and going to another carrier such as T-Mobile will cost me more in the long run than just sticking with Verizon. Verizon also has the best service in my area (north-eastern United States) by a pretty generous margin.
If the Nexus 4 was potentially going to become available to Verizon customers in the next couple of months, I'd definitely consider waiting around for it, but it seems like kind of a gamble.
So I guess my question boils down to: What are the odds that an LTE version of he Nexus 4 is going to come to Verizon? And is the Gnex a good enough phone that I should consider contracting myself to it for the foreseeable future, given the subsidized price currently available, even considering it's age? If the answer to both of these is no, is there another phone/option I should consider?
Thanks so much for reading this and helping me out, it seems like a great community you've got going here. I really look forward to your responses.
EDIT: Proofread, fixed a couple of typos.
