Hackers take control of the UK



http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/21/uk_census_lost/
Once again Lulz Security are in the headlines as it is believed they have managed to get their hands on this years census data for the UK. Such a loss is hugely embarrassing for the government and has gotten many people thinking how tight are our nation security measures? The message which is being believed to have been sent from 'Lulzsec' reads
Greetings Internets,
We have blissfully obtained records of every single citizen who gave their records to the security-illiterate UK government for the 2011 census   We're keeping them under lock and key though... so don't worry about your privacy (...until we finish re-formatting them for release)
It goes on to mention that once the database has been reformatted it will be open to the public on piratebay.

A new vaccine using DNA from health cells was able to cure 80% of mice in animal trials involving prostate cancer. Cancer Research UK have said that this is a major development although human trials must begin as soon as possible. Cancer vaccines are not unlike traditional vaccines but instead of making the immune system attack infections they aim to target specifically tumour cells. Should these new methods prove to be successful this new and interesting study could really broaden the field of immunotherapy research.

In the latest details of the governments controversial NHS reforms it has been announced that supposed 'failing' hospitals will no longer be secretly "bailed out" using the tax payers money. The Department of Health have said that poorer quality organizations will no  longer be proper up with subsides and highlighted the importance of competition and choice as key proponents to improving public services.
