Teva’s Adderall 30 mg Tabs – Counterfeit Product – Contains Wrong Active Ingredients
The counterfeit Adderall tablets are round, white and do not have any type of markings, such as letters or numbers. Authentic Adderall 30 mg tablets produced by Teva are round, orange/peach, and scored tablets with “dp” embossed on one side and “30” on the other side of the tablet.

Instead of these active ingredients, the counterfeit product contained tramadol and acetaminophen, which are ingredients in medicines used to treat acute pain.
If you or your child is bouncing off the walls AND you bought Adderall off the Internet, check to see if your tablets are white and have no markings.
Have you reviewed your HIPAA policies, training, and compliance lately?
HIPAA PRIVACY ENFORCEMENT ON THE RISE
In February 2009, as part of the economic stimulus legislation known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Congress enacted the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). HITECH not only provided federal incentives for medical care providers to accelerate implementation of electronic health records systems, but also broadened the categories of those responsible for protecting the patient health information contained in those records and significantly increased the penalties for HIPAA violations.
The original HIPAA Privacy Rule finalized in 2002 applied only to “covered entities” such as health care providers, health plans, health care clearinghouses and later, sponsors of drug discount cards under Medicare. The Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for civil enforcement of HIPAA privacy regulations. Under the original Privacy Rule, OCR lacked direct enforcement authority against the “business associates” of covered…

Your WTF moment for the day. You have to read the whole post. Priceless.

What Captures Your Attention Controls Your Life – HBR
A few years ago, DisneyWorld executives were wondering what most captured the attention of toddlers and infants at their theme park and hotels in Orlando, Florida. So they hired me and a cultural anthropologist to observe them as they passed by all the costumed cast members, animated creatures, twirling rides, sweet-smelling snacks, and colorful toys. But after a couple of hours of close observation, we realized that what most captured the young children’s attention wasn’t Disney-conjured magic. Instead it was their parents’ cell phones, especially when the parents were using them.
