POPS Draconian drug tests The new welfare reform bill gives unprecedented new powers to Jobcentre staff There are further concerns about rights and liberties. For the first time Jobcentres will be able to share information with the police, the probation service and "others" to check the "accuracy" of information provided by the claimant. This could include information about drug-testing on arrest, court orders and sentencing and substance-related treatment received in prison or the community. While the bill protects against evidence acquired by Jobcentres being used in criminal proceedings against the claimant, the information sharing is two-way with no obvious barrier preventing the police using the information to prompt or inform a line of inquiry or criminal investigation.

POPSDont get in a contest with a train. You lose. You always lose Terribly sad story. I remember my younger days thinking I was invincible, that nothing or no one could slow me down, get in my way, do me harm, or do me in for good. I was lucky. Play it smart kiddos. Life is short enough. Make it count. Don't be stupid. In a contest with a train, you lose. You always lose.

POPSFDA Eyes Acetaminophen Liver Risk Three FDA advisory committees will hold a joint meeting on June 29 and 30 to discuss six options to further reduce the risk of liver injury from acetaminophen. Those options are: * Option 1: Reduce current doses or restrict the current maximum adult daily dose, single adult dose, and tablet strength to prescription only. * Option 2: Establish package-size limits for OTC acetaminophen products. * Option 3: Require unit-of-use packaging for prescription acetaminophen products. That means that the products will come to the pharmacy packaged ready for sale, with standardized labeling, instead of in bulk containers. * Option 4: Expand the product warning information on prescription acetaminophen products. For instance, the FDA might require "acetaminophen" to be on the ingredient list, instead of being listed as "APAP," so that consumers can identify that the drug contains acetaminophen. * Option 5: Eliminate combination OTC and/or prescription products tha

POPSI Hope Heather Gets Off Heather Locklear has been charged with DUI but no illegal drugs or alcohol were found her system. I hope she gets off. But why do these wealthy people insist on driving when they can well afford a taxi?

POPSWho's The Daddy? Ever thought your child looks a little too much like the mailman? Confirming your child's paternity is now as easy as taking a trip to your local Rite Aid - and, according to this Philly Inquirer article, they've been flying off the shelves. To use the kit customers have to scrape cells from the cheek of the child, mother and father in question and send it to a lab for analysis, which takes about a week. I was surprised to find out last year just how many different kinds of home-use health tests are available today. You can check everything from the alcohol content in your breast milk to whether you might have colon cancer. Check out the piece I wrote on the topic last year: http://www.forbes.com/health/2007/05/11/health-home-test-forbeslife-cx_avd_0514health.html
