Internet records

EXETER - An Exeter parent is asking Rockingham County Superior Court to
impose sanctions on school for allegedly destroying public information.
Jim Knight, the father of four children who no longer attend Exeter schools,
said in an interview Friday that the Exeter Region Cooperative School
District had destroyed computer records he requested.
Last month, Knight won a Superior Court decision giving him access to the
list of Web sites visited by students on Exeter school computers.
Superior Court Judge Gillian Abramson's decision in effect gave the public
access to the list of Web site addresses under the state's Right-to-Know Law.

Labor of love for men of steel

PUEBLO - If spread out, the historical documents, photographs and ledgers
stored in vaults and basements at the old CF&I Steel Co. would cover nearly
half of a football field a foot deep.
The 100-plus years of archives tell stories not only about steelmaking and
railroading but of labor struggles, industrial relations, ethnicity and
everyday life in southern Colorado. Company newsletters, written in the early
1900s, contain gossip, jokes, and birth and marriage announcements.
There are hundreds of old glass negatives and photographs of southern
Colorado mining towns that no longer exist and testimony from John D.
Rockefeller Jr. before a congressional committee investigating the 1914
Ludlow Massacre, when the Colorado state militia and CF&I thugs fired on
striking coal miners.

Protection sought church art

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Churches, tribes and other noncommercial groups need more
protection under U.S. copyright laws to prevent theft and misuse of their
music and other intellectual properties, a folk music academician said
Friday.
Speaking at the Library of Congress, parent agency of the U.S. Copyright
Office, Anthony Seeger complained that while a commercial artist rakes in
royalties from his efforts and controls their use, copyright laws do little
for the artist who creates according to ethnic tradition.

Privacy under the knife
Access to your medical history is one of the greatest concerns as the health
industry moves patient records online.
http://www.smh.com.au/news/0012/05/features/features100.html

by Nicole Manktelow
Your employer doesn't know it, but you take medication for hypertension. You
have a history of depression. As a child you were admitted to hospital with
severe bruising. You once had a blood test without your partner's knowledge.
And three years ago you were treated for an overdose.
Medical records say a lot about a patient, besides their current state of
health. These documents contain most private details of someone's personal
history.
Electronic medical records (EMRs), databases and patient identifiers combined
with the Internet could provide health-care professionals with instant access
to patient data. But the concept of connecting various records electronically
touches a nerve in the health industry.
