I totally forgot what the ADA is for and why it exists. Whatever it was or whatever they officially say it is, I think it has changed. I'm convinced the general public thinks the ADA's only reason to exist is to "approve" toothpastes and mouthwashes…

How expensive is a data breach?

"I do not see why making a notification should involve anything more than an e-mail at almost zero cost. I have never heard of a HIPAA fine for a stolen computer. That is urban myth territory." - Dr. Larry Emmott, March 2, 2010

ADA Presidents and broken promises

The election for a future ADA president occurs the first week in October in Hawaii at the 2009 annual meeting. A couple of days ago, the ADA News Online posted the ADA President-elect candidates’ statements.
