            <description>On March 6th 2012 , SHARPS held a press conference at the Gwangwhamun square to announce the death of Ms.Kim from breast cancer and the demand of compensation to the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;KCOMWEL announced its recognition of the death of Ms. D.E. Kim from breast cancer as an occupational death from her work at Samsung Semiconductor plant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the second recognition of occupational disease of Samsung Semiconductor workers by Korean governments. The first case was aplastic anemia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The decision of KCOMWEL to compensate for her death was made based on its recognition of work-relatedness of her cancer with exposures to radiation, hazardous chemicals, and shiftwork with nightwork which is classified as a probable human carcinogen by IARC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is known that 70~80% of breast cancer is developed by environmental factors. It is very rare to get malignancy like breast cancer at age of early 30′s. Night shift known as a carcinogen to human and stress which can disturb immunity as well as chemicals and radiation can contribute to develop the breast cancer of Ms.Kim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ms.Kim was born in 1976. She entered Samsung Semiconductor plant at Giheung in May 1995 at age of 19. Her first duty was done at the line number 7, which had just been set up and unstable. She worked at the Ion Implantation, photo, and etching processes in the same factory until January 2000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After leaving the factory, Ms.Kim married and became a mother of two children. In August 2009, when she was 33 years old, stage Ⅲ of breast cancer was found. Despite of mastectomy and treatment, cancer spread to the bone and liver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SHARPS had supported her to prepare documents to demand workers’ compensation to the government, but she passed away too early in March 2012 at her young age of 36. So now the compensation is for her family including two young children, not for her treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ministry of Labor and Employment should be more active in prevention of occupational diseases by eliminating hazardous chemicals, reducing nightwork, and implementing protective policy for workers, as well as more active in recognition of occupational disease to secure workers’ right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of all, Samsung should apologize to all the workers and their family who has been suffering from occupational diseases, and take a responsible and transparent steps to prevent further tragedy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://stopsamsung.wordpress.com' target='_blank'&gt;samsung galaxy note killed workers&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>US Army spent &amp;#036;2.7 billion on</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2630272</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/58051.html' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/58051.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='https://secureweb2.hqda.pentagon.mil/VDAS_ArmyPostureStatement/2011/information_papers/PostedDocument.asp?id=151' target='_blank'&gt;https://secureweb2.hqda.pentagon.mil/VDAS_A...ment.asp?id=151&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;It has emerged that the multi-billion-dollar DCGS-A military computer system that was designed to help the US Army in Iraq and Afghanistan simply doesn’t work&lt;/b&gt;. DCGS-A is meant to accrue intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, and provide real-time battlefield analysis and the current location of high-value targets. According to two former intelligence officers that have worked with the system, however, it has hindered the war effort rather than helped.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This story has developed over the last year, beginning with a memo sent by Major General Michael Flynn, the Army’s top intelligence officer stationed in Afghanistan. In the memo [PDF], Flynn damns the apparent ineffectiveness of DCGS-A&lt;/b&gt;: “Analysts cannot provide their commanders a full understanding of the operational environment. Without the full understanding of the enemy and human terrain, our operations are not as successful as they could be. This shortfall translates into operational opportunities missed and lives lost.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The memo reached the ears of several Representatives on July 19 2010, who then asked the US Army to consider switching to another, proven system that the FBI and CIA use: Palantir. The Army refused, and instead rolled out a software update that was meant to fix any issues. Unfortunately, according to the former intelligence officers, the system is still unusable. “You couldn’t share the data,” says one of the former officers, and they both agree that the system is “prone to crashes and frequently going off-line.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Almost any commercial solution out there would be better,” said one. “It doesn’t work. It’s not providing the capabilities that they need,” said the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;This isn’t the first time that the US Army — or indeed any sovereign armed force — has spent a lot of money on a system that doesn’t work. With such huge budgets, and massive systems and weapons with additional expenditure that can’t possibly be accounted for ahead of time, military spending nearly always turns into case of throwing good money after bad. Still, to spend almost &amp;#036;3 billion on a broken system&lt;/b&gt;, while proven, out-of-the-box alternatives like Palantir are readily and cheaply available, is pretty darn special.</description>

            <title>US Air force songlap &amp;#036;1billion for failed software</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2627930</link>
            <description>&lt;a href='http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/technology/air-force-stumbles-over-software-modernization-project.html?hpw&amp;_r=1&amp;' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/09/technolo....html?hpw&amp;_r=1&amp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the United States Air Force, installing a new software system has certainly proved to be a wicked problem. Last month, it canceled a six-year-old modernization effort that had eaten up more than &amp;#036;1 billion. When the Air Force realized that it would cost another &amp;#036;1 billion just to achieve one-quarter of the capabilities originally planned — and that even then the system would not be fully ready before 2020 — it decided to decamp. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Randall Stross is an author based in Silicon Valley and a professor of business at San Jose State University.

            <description>For those Anti-lynas fags  to grind in their mind&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2007, a 22-year-old woman named Yu-mi Hwang, who had worked at Samsung’s Giheung semiconductor plant while still in high school, died of leukemia. A year later, a 30-year-old woman who shared a workstation with Yu-mi died, also of leukemia. In March 2010, a 23-year-old woman named Park Ji-Yeon, who had worked at Samsung’s On-Yang semiconductor plant since 2004, also died of leukemia, three years after her diagnosis. In 2005, a 27-year old woman named Han Hae-kyoung, who had worked in a Samsung LCD plant since 1995, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and is now seriously disabled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://e360.yale.edu/feature/toxics_in_the_clean_rooms_are_samsung_workers_at_risk/2414/' target='_blank'&gt;http://e360.yale.edu/feature/toxics_in_the...s_at_risk/2414/&lt;/a&gt;</description>
