		<description><![CDATA[I am saddened that the supreme court decided not to address the  software patent problem with Bilski. They had an opportunity to abolish or at least reign-in  software patents, which are an inherently bad idea. Instead they undid  what little progress had been made in the Bilski precedent.
I think others have already [...]]]></description>

This reminds me of the tremendous reponse that the VA had to hurricane katrina using VistA. For fun you should ask those involved for the inside scoop of how VistA enabled an entire hospital to uproot and move over the course of a [...]]]></description>

I have been a vocal advocate for compromising with DSS and Open Health Tools around the LGPL. The LGPL would allow for some innovations to be licensed under the GPL, and others, in the core of VistA to [...]]]></description>

the patient to whom it refers?
the health provider who created it?
the IT specialist who has the greatest control over it?
the researcher who aggregates it?
the health 2.0 company that harvested it?

the notion of ownership is inadequate for health information. No one has an absolute right to destroy health information. But you can [...]]]></description>

Currently, in Texas,  one is required to take Physics I and II and Calculus I (or equivalent stats class) to apply for Medical School. That is not all, of course, but they are requirements.
