Google Health Begins Its Preseason at Cleveland Clinic

Googles at it again. They are preparing to store patient's health record. All I can say is, "Soon they will all take over our lives." Here is some of the article:

"For 18 months, Google has been working to come up with a product offering and a strategy in the promising field of consumer health information. Until now, the search giant hasn’t had anything to show for its labors other than bumps along the way — delays and a management change.

But on Thursday, Google’s technology for personal health records, which is still in development, is getting a big endorsement from the Cleveland Clinic. The big medical center is beginning a pilot project to link the health information for some of its patients with Google personal health records.

Cleveland Clinic is at the cutting edge of health information technology, and its more than 100,000 patients each has a personal health record. But a sizable portion of those patients are retirees, notes Dr. C. Martin Harris, the clinic’s chief information officer. Many of them, he said, spend about five months elsewhere, typically in Florida or Arizona, and the clinic’s sophisticated electronic health records don’t follow them there.

“It forces the patient to become his or her own medical historian,” Dr. Harris said."

Muslims criticise Walkers after it is revealed that some crisp varieties contain alcohol

"Furious Muslims have heavily criticised Walkers crisps after it emerged that certain varieties of the manufacturer's products contain trace elements of alcohol.

Some crisp types use minute amounts of alcohol as a chemical agent to extract certain flavours.

The report in Asian newspaper Eastern Eye, highlights concerns raised by shopkeeper Besharat Rehman, who owns a halal supermarket in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Mr Rehman told the paper: "A customer informed us that Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli and Doritos Chilli Heat Wave are not on Walkers' alcohol-free list. Our suppliers were unaware of this."

Youtube.com down - ooops problems pop-up at large sites also

here is something that has been all over the Internet. This has been interesting to see how many people are complaining about it. We still currently do not know what the problem is. Feel free to contact me if there is an update. Here's some of the article:

"It seems that youtube.com is down for more than 30 minutes. No, its not because
of my internet connection. It’s a problem at youtube 100%(see pictures below)

It seems that large sites can also have major problems, even if we would
think that this is impossible. Who would have taught that this would happen.

I bet that many people are pretty pissed now and they are cursing their
ISP because they can’t interact on youtube.

After asking some friends to
check if youtube is working I also did a check using internetsupervision, just
to make sure that i won’t write stupid things on my blog."
