It’s Simple

The truth is that if you take a little time to learn a few basic principles and some of the technical lingo, buying the right computer and getting it to work properly is no more complicated than building a nuclear reactor from wristwatch parts in a darkened room using only your teeth. So let’s get started!

ARMONK, N.Y. (UPI) — IBM scientists in the United States and Israel announced creation of a technology that standardizes the method of sharing health information.

Company officials said the first of its kind system was created in collaboration with the Nuclear Threat Initiative’s Global Health and Security Initiative and the Middle East Consortium on Infectious Disease Surveillance. It also automates the analysis of infectious disease outbreaks to help contain diseases and minimize their impact.

IBM said the secure, Web-based portal system — The Public Health Information Affinity Domain — is being deployed in the Middle East first, and the partners are pushing for international deployment.

Scientists at IBM’s Almaden, N.Y., headquarters and its Haifa labs in Israel said the technology allows public health organizations to implement a fast, effective response to infectious disease outbreaks — even across geographic and political boundaries with protection of privacy at all levels.

“This collaboration writes the newest chapter in a story of healthcare information technology innovation — innovation that progressively tackles head-on the lack of integration and communication between key players in the healthcare industry worldwide,” said Dan Pelino of IBM.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (UPI) — U.S. physicists say they’ve discovered unusual properties in a novel superconducting material that might lead to an entirely new kind of superconductor.

The researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University found the surprising magnetic properties and predict they might have very powerful applications — from improved magnetic resonance imaging machines to new generations of superconducting electric motors and power transmission lines.

Frank Hunte, a postdoctoral associate at the lab’s Applied Superconductivity Center, working with David Larbalestier, Alex Gurevich and Jan Jaroszynski from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, said the research adds to a long list of mysteries surrounding superconductivity, providing evidence that the new materials — being called “doped rare earth iron oxyarsenides — develop superconductivity in quite a new way.

“What one would like is a greater selection of superconductors, operating at higher temperatures, being cheaper, possibly being more capable of being made into round wires,” said Larbalestier. “Iron and arsenic, both inherently cheap materials, are key constituents of this totally new class of superconductors. We’re just fascinated. It’s superconductivity in places you never thought of.”

The complex research appears in the journal Nature.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) — The U.S. space agency has scheduled Thursday for the launch of its Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said GLAST will be launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket. The launch window extends from 11:45 a.m. to 1:40 p.m. EDT daily through Aug. 7.

The GLAST liftoff date, originally set for Tuesday, was rescheduled to allow the launch team sufficient time to make sure remaining engineering issues are resolved, NASA said.

Lack of Confidence Holds Employee in Same Job for 10 Years
Lindsey Novak

Q: I’ve been in the same job for 10 years now. My family demands that I get a better-paying job, but I am scared of quitting and facing the interviewing process. What can I do?

A: Your family wants to see you advance in your job, and after 10 years of doing the same work, it is worth a try. Before you force yourself to start a job search, consult a career coach at a community college. Many community college career centers are open to the public, as long as you live within the district. You can conquer your fear of interviewing by discussing the problem and practicing the interviewing process with a counselor. Private career coaches can be found either on the Web or in the local newspaper, but they likely will have higher rates than the community college. Whichever path you choose to take, don’t quit your job before you get a new job. Once you feel comfortable with the interviewing process, post your resume on job boards, and send it to companies for which you would like to work. When you go to an interview, you will need to show that confidence I hope you have developed.

Job Hopping Required To Find Ethical Company

Q: I am a rehab therapist working for a contract company that provides therapy services to a nursing home. My job is to determine who is and is not appropriate for therapy and develop plans of treatment for them. If I do not recommend what is appropriate, I run the risk of fines, jail time and losing my license. Medicare fraud is rampant in this industry, and I have left several jobs because I was asked to participate in it, which I refuse to do.

I finally found a job in which these fraudulent practices did not go on. My supervisor handled fraudulent requests for therapy and dealt with administration and upper management, so we, as therapists, could do our jobs legitimately and not be involved in such things. Unfortunately, our great supervisor left for a hospital position and was replaced by someone unqualified. The new supervisor only has an associate’s degree and no experience managing. She is intimated by administration, so rather than refusing to do unethical things, she will bend over backward to please them. We are asked to do unethical things weekly, and when we refuse, administration threatens to cancel the contract with the company. Now the environment is terrible, and our once-pristine record no longer is respected by administration. How can our therapy team report fraud when none of us has participated in it? And how many times do I have to change jobs to find an ethical therapy services company?

A: You have placed honesty and high ethics before money, and you are to be commended for such honorable behavior. Don’t lose faith in the system. Just because your therapy team has not committed fraud does not mean you cannot report knowledge of it. It is your duty only to report it, not to investigate it or prove it. You may want to look for a job first at a rehabilitation institute connected to a reputable hospital. Once you are out of your current company, you can report the company’s administration and management team to the state authorities. The state licensing agency then can audit the company’s records to see who was involved in fraudulent therapy requests and which therapists complied with them.
