Hackers raided a server at the University of California, Berkeley last fall, stealing everything from Social Security numbers to immunization records in an episode that highlights one danger of moving health information from file cabinets to cyberspace, Forbes reports in a first-person account by one of the 160,000 victims.

Children Now Enjoy More Freedom At Home, But Are More Restricted Outside The Home
Children have certainly mastered the art of selecting, negotiating and even refusing the chores their parents assign to them. This growth in personal autonomy at home over the last few decades could be the result of shrinking opportunities to participate in activities outside the home, without Mom and Dad looking over their shoulder, according to Dr. Markella Rutherford from Wellesley College in the US. Her analysis1 of back issues of the popular US magazine, Parents, maps how the portrayal of parental authority and children"s autonomy has changed over the last century.

Obama Administration Launches Food Safety Working Group Website

Responding to President Obama"s directive to upgrade the nation"s food safety system, the White House Food Safety Working Group, led by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, launched a website to provide information about the group"s activities and progress. "The Working Group will be an important tool for gathering ideas as to how we can strengthen the food safety system to be more accountable and accessible to the public it protects, flexible enough to quickly resolve new safety challenges that emerge, and able to meet the robust needs of our rapidly changing world," said Vilsack. "Families have enough to worry about. You shouldn"t have to wonder if the food you buy at the grocery store is safe," said Sebelius. "Our Working Group is working hard to modernize our food safety system and protect the American people. The website will help ensure all Americans can share their thoughts and contribute to this important process." The website, www.foodsafetyworkinggroup.gov will be an important re for people who want to learn about the current food safety network as well as stakeholders and organizations which are working to upgrade America"s food safety system for the 21st century. The website features social bookmarking tools including an RSS feed and a widget that can be downloaded to help stay informed. Last week, representatives from the White House Food Safety Working Group met and outlined principles to meet the President"s goal. In the weeks to come, the Food Safety Working Group will provide additional opportunities to engage stakeholders in conversations and help shape these principles. A comprehensive approach to an improved national food safety system links regulatory actions and public health outcomes. This approach focuses res according to risk, applies the best available science and high quality data to the decision-making process, and strives for seamless coordination among federal agencies and their state, local and international public health partners.
