US Supreme Court grants Vermont request to review prescription drug data mining case
The United States Supreme Court has agreed to decide the constitutionality of a Vermont law that requires doctors’ consent before their identifying information in prescription records can be sold or used for marketing prescription drugs. The law was challenged on First Amendment grounds by data mining companies and by PhRMA, a trade organization for the pharmaceutical industry. The federal district court in Vermont upheld the law after trial, but a divided panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision in November 2010. The Vermont Attorney General’s Office filed a petition seeking Supreme Court review on December 13, 2010.Attorney General Sorrell praised the Court’s decision to hear the case. ‘Vermont doctors pressed for this law because of their concerns about privacy and because they view this data mining practice as an intrusion into the way doctors practice medicine. We look forward to defending this important law in the Supreme Court.’The case, Sorrell v. IMS Health Inc., No. 10-779, will likely be argued in April of this year and decided before the end of the Court’s term in June. Source: Attorney General, January 7, 2011
FacebookTwitterLinkedInEmailPrint分享Denver Post:With a plan to get the majority of its power from renewable energy by 2026, Xcel Energy Colorado on Tuesday celebrated the completion of one of the projects that will help realize that goal — a 300-turbine wind farm that sprawls across five counties on the Eastern Plains.The 600-megawatt Rush Creek Wind Project covers nearly 100,000 acres in five counties: Lincoln, Arapahoe, Elbert, Kit Carson and Cheyenne. It is the largest wind farm in the state and the first large-scale wind farm owned and operated by the utility. Rush Creek was built with all made-in-Colorado turbines, produced in Vestas plants in Brighton, Pueblo and Windsor.“It’s a billion-dollar investment. It’s a huge investment for us,” said Kent Larson, Xcel Energy’s executive vice president. “There’s enough wind in these wind turbines that it will serve over 300,000 homes.” Larson, speaking at a site near Limon and to a crowd of Xcel Energy employees, state and local elected officials, construction workers and area residents, said the electricity generated by Rush Creek will cost three cents per kilowatt hour, which should save customers money. He said the wind-fueled power will also eliminate about 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually that would otherwise be produced.In August, Xcel Energy got the go-ahead from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission to pursue its Colorado Energy Plan. The company, Colorado’s largest electric utility, says the plan will cut carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 60 percent, increase its renewable energy sources to 55 percent of its mix by 2026 and save customers about $213 million.Larson of Xcel Energy said the utility, which operates in eight Western and Midwestern states, plans to have 10,000 megawatts of wind-generated power by 2021. The company currently has 6,674 megawatts of wind power across its system. That doesn’t include Rush Creek. The new wind farm has been generating some electricity the past several months and will begin commercial operations Oct. 31. Construction began in early April 2017. The last turbine was installed early this month. There were about 350 workers at peak construction.More: Xcel Energy opens huge, billion-dollar wind farm on Colorado’s Eastern Plains Xcel completes 600MW Colorado Wind Project
The World’s Waters Are Becoming Corrosive to Critical Marine Life. Is Time Running Out to Save our Oceans?The oceans do a lot of the Earth’s dirty work. On a given day, they will absorb 22 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), a third of the global output. In doing so they help to keep climate change in check, but they also pay a heavy toll as a result.Increasing levels of carbon in the ocean are making the water more acidic, and that’s beginning to have an impact on shellfish, corals and some of the tiniest shell-making marine organisms that are essential to the ocean food web. The June 2012 issue of E – The Environmental Magazine (now posted at www.emagazine.com) takes a closer look at the phenomenon of “ocean acidification,” the process by which levels of CO2 are rising, changing the chemistry of the ocean, and the ways this is impacting sea creatures on which mankind depends.Shellfish farmers in Washington and Oregon were some of the first to sound the alarm about ocean acidification. In 2006, hatchery-produced oyster larvae began to die off, despite their controlled and monitored environments. The two largest oyster hatcheries — which supply seedling to the majority of West Coast oyster farmers — lost between 60% and 80% of their larvae. Through ocean monitoring, the farmers discovered that the pH had fallen enough to make the water too corrosive for the oysters to form shells.Once the problem was identified, shellfish farmers were able to take precautions — such as waiting to fill tanks following a north wind when upwelling causes corrosive water to rise to the surface. But in the open ocean, there are no quick fixes for ocean acidification.“A lot of things we like to eat have these calcium carbonate shells and they’re very sensitive to acidification,” says Richard Feely, Ph.D., a senior scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). “Just a small drop in pH can cause the shells to begin to dissolve. It turns out that for many of these species, the larval and juvenile stages are much more sensitive than the adults. And we’re finding that they can die off quite rapidly even with the kinds of changes that we’re seeing right now.”One of the most serious threats posed by ocean acidification is to corals — marine animals that need carbonate ions to form their skeletons. During ocean acidification, CO2 sinks into the water and releases hydrogen ions which combine with carbonate ions, making them unavailable to the shell- and exoskeleton-making creatures that need them.“There have been a lot of studies showing that under ocean acidification scenarios corals and other organisms on the reef calcify at a slower rate,” says Davey Kline, Ph.D., a coral reef ecology expert at the University of Queensland in Australia. “Even with just a little less growth, the corals can be tipped into these situations where they’re getting eroded faster than they can grow and the reefs start to dissolve.”Coral reefs are already at risk from pollution, development, overfishing and warming waters as a result of global warming. Ocean acidification may be the final stressor that pushes them into extinction. The most recent report on reef health — Status of Coral Reefs of the World: 2008 — found that 19% of coral reefs were already lost, 15% were in a critical state with loss possible within a decade or two, and 20% could be lost in 20 to 40 years. “If we continue on the trajectory that we’re currently at,” says Kline, referring to unchecked global emissions, “we will lose reefs as we know them.”The impacts of a world without reefs would be profound. The estimated net global value of reefs is $29.8 billion per year, and reefs provide essential work in protecting shorelines from storm damage, providing a home to one million species and offering new sources of medicine to treat everything from cancer to arthritis.There are certainly local solutions, including designating marine protected areas to at least minimize the stresses on coral reefs in light of global warming and ocean acidification. But any major solution to keeping ocean acidification from further threatening our oceans and its inhabitants needs to involve a global agreement for keeping emissions in check — something that, despite the warning signs, seems oceans away.————————————————————E – The Environmental Magazine distributes 50,000 copies six times per year to subscribers and bookstores.

Colombia and Ecuador already cooperate on security issues. For example, in April 2013, Colombia security forces captured Cesar Demar Vernaza Quinonez, an Ecuadorian national who is known as “El Empresario.” El Empresario was the leader of a gang known as “Los Templados.” El Empresario and Los Templados transported and protected drug shipments for the Sinaloa Cartel, the Mexican transnational criminal organization which is led by fugitive kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. In April 2012, Ecuadorean National Police captured El Empresario. Ten months later, in February 2013, El Empresario escaped from an Ecuadorian prison. Cooperatoin between Ecuador and Colombia led to the recapture of El Empresario by Colombian security forces By Dialogo November 25, 2013 Ongoing cooperation ‘El Chapo’ operative is re-captured Peru and Ecuador have cooperated on other binational security issues for years. For example, the two countries patrol their national waters through an exchange program of sea patrol officers. The naval forces of both countries have an educational agreement, which has helped “generate an ongoing friendship between the Armed Forces to work hand in hand in peace building,” according to Homero Arellano, the Ecuadorean Minister of National Security. Peru and Ecuador share a border that is 1420 km long. Cooperation on security matters is important to both countries, Arellano said. “Ecuador and Peru are living a great moment in their binational relationships,” Arellano explained. Because Peru and Ecuador share the same security challenges, binational cooperation is the best way to fight organized crime groups, said Héctor Chávez, a security analyst at the University of Guayaquil. “Joint security work by the two countries guarantees success,” Chávez said. “When talking about security along the borderline, it is better to coordinate actions instead of making unilateral decisions.” Combatting human trafficking The presidents of Peru and Ecuador recently agreed to have their respective security forces strengthen their cooperation in the battle against human trafficking and the illegal sales of stolen fuel. Peruvian President Ollanta Humala and Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa announced the initiatives after they met on Nov. 14, 2013, in the city of Piura, Peru, near the Ecuadorean border. The meeting between of the two presidents concluded the VII Binational Ministerial Cabinet Meeting. The two presidents announced they had signed the two security cooperation agreements. Fighting fuel trafficking
Under one of the new agreements, Peruvian and Ecuadorian forces will cooperate in the fight against human trafficking, which a particularly acute challenge in Peru. From 2004 to 2012, Peruvian authorities investigated 1,960 human trafficking cases. Of those, 763 involved victims who were children and teenagers who were sexually exploited, authorities said. On Nov. 20th, 2013, the Peruvian Supreme Court approved the National Plan against human trafficking. Peru launched the plan immediately after the Supreme Court approved it. The plan calls for security forces to keep a registry of all reported cases and to conduct thorough investigations. New Peruvian Interior Minister Ecuador and Colombia On the same day the Peruvian Supreme Court approved the National Plan, President Humaala administered the oath of office to Walter Albán Peralta, the country’s new Minister of Interior. As interior minister, Albán will oversee the efforts of Peruvian security forces. The new interior minister pledged to work hard to improve public safety in Peru. “I will do everything in my power to continue the work to improve security in the country and create trust,” Albán said shortly after he was sworn in. “I will try to create the conditions to allow the country to truly make progress.” Albán replaced Wilfredo Pedraza, who resigned in mid-November. Before he was sworn in as interior minister, Albán served as Peru’s permanent representative to the Organization of American States (OAS). He was appointed to that post in late 2011. From 2000 to 2005, Albán served in the ombudsman’s office. Albán should seek cooperation not just from Ecuadorean security forces, but from the civilian population of Peru, said Eduardo Arbulú, a member of the Regional Committee for Citizens Security in Piura. The new interior minister “will have to call upon different institutions, neighborhood and municipal councils and other social organizations,” Arbulú said. Now that it has strengthened ties with Peru, Ecuador is seeking to improve cooperation on security issues with Colombia. The presidents of the two countries will meet on Nov. 25 to discuss security issues along the border shared by Ecuador and Colombia. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and Ecuadorean President Correa are expected to discuss drug trafficking, fuel smuggling, and the incursion of Colombian organized crime groups into Ecuador. In recent years, Peruvian and Ecuadorean security forces have been fighting organized crime groups which steal fuel in Ecuador and smuggle it into Peru, where they will it illegally. Every year, organized crime operatives steal hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel in Ecuador and smuggle it into Peru, where it is sold illegally, authorities said. Thieves smuggle stolen fuel from places like the Ecuadorean city of Huaquillas into the Peruvian city of Tumbes. The thieves often smuggle the fuel in 50-gallon containers. Organized crime groups sell the stolen fuel on the Peruvian cities of Máncora, Talara, Los Órganos, Sullana and Piura. Thieves prefer to sell stolen fuel in Peru to attain higher profits. Thieves can sell a large container of stolen gasoline in Ecuador for 9.30 soles (3.32 USD). The same container can be sold in Peru for 35 soles (12.50 USD). 
According to the data of the eVisitor system, which contains tourist traffic realized in commercial and non-commercial facilities and nautical charter (eCrew system), in Croatia in the period from January to the end of July, 11,1 million arrivals (+ 6%) and 56,3 million overnight stays (+ 6%) were realized. Out of that, foreign tourists realized 9,8 million arrivals (+ 6%) and 49,8 million overnight stays (+ 6%), while domestic tourists also recorded increases in arrivals by 7% and in overnight stays by 6%. During the seven months, most overnight stays were realized in Istria (15,6 million), while in the Split-Dalmatia County 10,5 million overnight stays were realized, ie 10 million overnight stays in Kvarner. They are followed by Zadar County with 7,5 million overnight stays and Dubrovnik-Neretva County with 4,7 million overnight stays. In Šibenik-Knin County, 3,7 million overnight stays were realized, in Lika-Senj County 1,7 million overnight stays, while in Zagreb 1,4 million overnight stays were realized.On the continent, not including Zagreb, there were 597.000 arrivals (+ 9%) and 1,2 million overnight stays (+ 7%), and looking at the counties, most overnight stays were realized in Karlovac (295.000), Krapina-Zagorje (195.000), Osijek -Baranja (108.000), Međimurje (106.000) and Zagreb County (105.000).I am extremely satisfied with the course of tourist traffic so far, in July this year we had a million overnight stays in one day, and the data tell us that guests stay in destinations longer and spend more, said the director of the Croatian Tourist Board Kristjan Stanicic. in the heart of the tourist year the CNTB are currently focused on the post season from which they also expect a lot. “Campaigns are underway in eleven world markets such as Germany, Great Britain, France or Spain, where we promote eno-gastronomy, nautical and cultural tourism and active holidays. We continue to promote Croatia through our celebrated footballers through online channels where we connect Vatrene with the destinations from which they come. Visually and communicatively, we connected Slavonski Brod and Marija Mandžukić, Donji Miholjac and Domagoj Vid, Zadar and Luka Modrić, Omiš and Ivan Perišić, Imotski and Ante Rebić, Karlovac and Dejan Lovren, etc. ” Stanisic concluded.Germany remains the main emitting marketAt the national level, during the first seven months, most overnight stays came from the markets of Germany (10,5 million), Slovenia (6,1 million), Austria (4,3 million), Poland (3,5 million) and the Czech Republic (3,2). million), and looking at the accommodation segment, most overnight stays were realized in in households (19,6 million) and in hotels (14 million) and camps (10,4 million). Top destinations in the first seven months according to the criteria of realized overnight stays are Dubrovnik, Rovinj, Poreč, Split and Medulin. In July, there were 2 percent more overnight staysIn July, there were 4,6 million arrivals and 31 million overnight stays in Croatia, which is an increase of 2017 percent in overnight stays compared to July 2. In July, most overnight stays were realized in Istria (8,1 million), Split-Dalmatia County (6 million) and Kvarner (5,8 million). They are followed by Zadar County with 4,9 million overnight stays, Šibenik-Knin County with 2,3 million overnight stays, Dubrovnik-Neretva County with 2,1 million overnight stays, Lika-Senj County with 1,1 million overnight stays and Zagreb with 288.000 overnight stays. There were 145.000 arrivals and 290.000 overnight stays on the continent in July, of which the highest number of overnight stays was in Karlovac (122.000), Krapina-Zagorje (36.000), Zagreb (25.000), Međimurje (24.000) and Osijek-Baranja County (17.000).Minister of Tourism Gari Cappeli emphasized the importance of positioning Croatia as a year-round destination. “We are building the image of a quality year-round destination, and this year’s results of tourist traffic show that, as well as the realized revenues from tourism, which in the first three months are 14 percent higher compared to the same period last year. We are strengthening tourist demand with us in new emitting markets such as China, Japan and Korea, and we are pleased to note that in this period, compared to two years ago, we recorded a growth in tourist traffic of over 50 percent from distant markets. Through further projects, our desire is to further stimulate the increase of tourist traffic outside the summer months, which will ultimately contribute to increased income, employment opportunities for a longer period and, in addition to tourism, stimulate economic growth of entire destinations., said Minister Cappelli.

Having enjoyed a remarkable six months back in the Premier League, there will be some who are expecting Sheffield United to tail off towards the end of the campaign with relegation unlikely to enter their thought process. However, there is an argument that Chris Wilder and his first-team squad will be at their most dangerous when having nothing to lose in the race to achieve a European place next season, with the Champions League not out of the question. Success over the Cherries today will move the Blades ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, as well as to within two points of the top four. With today’s game being followed by two more home matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Norwich City, United have been provided with, on paper, a perfect set of fixtures to heap the pressure on the bigger clubs around them. While goals are proving to be a problem in the final third, their resolve at the back could prove more decisive, and they remain with the second best backline in the division. The same cannot be said of Bournemouth, who have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 outings in the Premier League, but there are signs that Eddie Howe’s team are in the right frame of mind to put together a much-needed improved run of form. The south coast outfit would have been aware that the stakes were high when hosting Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa, two other clubs who are striving to move clear of the bottom three as soon as possible. However, in both fixtures, Bournemouth netted twice in quick succession before half time, and it proved to be pivotal as they claimed maximum points at the Vitality Stadium. That return has at least provided Howe and his players with a bit of breathing space ahead of what has become a difficult trip for every club this season, a factor which could finally allow them to play with more freedom for the first time since occupying a mid-table spot at the beginning of November. Sheffield United possible starting lineup: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Berge, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens, McBurnie, Sharp. Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Ramsdale, Smith, Francis, Ake, Rico, Gosling, Billing, L.Cook, H.Wilson, C.Wilson, Fraser.Tags: BournemouthChampions LeaguePremier LeagueSheffield United
Press Association Louis van Gaal will speak to the Manchester United board before deciding whether to quit Old Trafford. Van Gaal’s future looks increasingly bleak after he suffered his fourth straight defeat as United manager. United lost 2-0 at Stoke on Boxing Day and, although the margin of victory was narrow, there was a huge gulf between the two sides when it came to flair, penetration and skill. Van Gaal rejected the idea that it would be better if Woodward backed him with a public statement. “No,” he said. “Because for me it’s much more important that people are saying that to me. “I am not so interested in public sayings.” The Dutchman admitted he had to take his share of the blame for United’s longest winless streak since the 1989-90 season, however. “I am part of the four losses,” he said. “I have received (support) all the time, but we have lost today, so there is a new situation.” Van Gaal dropped Wayne Rooney for the game at Stoke, but there was no change in the quality of United’s play. They never looked like troubling the Potters, whose fans mocked the opposition, branding them “boring” throughout. The 64-year-old admitted his players froze when he needed them the most. “In the first half we didn’t dare to play our football,” he said. “I have analysed that as a consequence of the pressure that you have to cope with as a group as an individual player. “I have said to my players at half-time that we had nothing to lose and then you can cope better with that and you have seen that in the second half, but it was not good enough.” Van Gaal admitted it was a “difficult decision” to drop Rooney, but one the striker took as well as he could have. “(He responded) like a very good professional,” Van Gaal said. Mark Hughes was surprised Van Gaal dropped Rooney for the first time during his 18-month spell as United boss. “From our point of view a team without Wayne Rooney is a team that maybe isn’t quite as strong, but maybe he wasn’t fit enough to start,” the Stoke manager said. Having already beaten Manchester City and Chelsea this season, Hughes was happy to gain another big scalp. “We gave a similar performance to the first half against Man City, who are a good team also, so we are delighted that we are able to do it again,” said Hughes, who enjoyed 13 successful years on the playing staff at United. “It is a feather in our cap. Against the elite teams in the league you have to be brave and go toe-to-toe and we showed that once again.” Memphis Depay’s embarrassing gaffe handed Bojan Krkic the chance to put Stoke ahead and he did not pass on the opportunity, stroking the ball into the net from Glen Johnson’s pass, and when Marko Arnautovic sent a fierce drive into the top corner in the 26th minute, it was game over for Van Gaal’s men. Whether it proves to be the final nail in the coffin for Van Gaal himself remains to be seen. There was no word from the club in the immediate aftermath of the game on whether the Dutchman would remain in charge. When asked whether he thought he would be in charge for Monday’s Premier League game against Chelsea, Van Gaal offered only a meek response. “You have to wait and see, but I think so,” the United manager said. Van Gaal did admit there was a “new situation” compared to Wednesday, when he said he had received supportive phone calls from executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, his predecessor David Gill and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The former Ajax manager then raised the possibility that he could walk away from the club. “I can also quit by myself, but that is something that I speak with Ed Woodward by himself, and not with you,” Van Gaal said in his post-match press conference. “I have said already in former press conferences that the club has to fire or sack me. Sometimes I do it by myself, but I am the one who wants to speak first with the board of Manchester United and with my members of staff or with my players and not with you. I don’t think that is the sequence.”
