Hallmark/Westland Meat Recall Sparks Food Poisoning Worries

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced that the Hallmark/Westland Meat Packing Company was recalling 143 million poundsâ€”65 million kilosâ€”of meat, following a videotape of plant workers forcing unfit cattle into slaughter.Â  Most of the meat has likely been consumed; at least 37 million pounds were used for school lunches and federal nutrition programs, according to the USDA.Â  Now people are wondering if anyone fell ill from the recent recall and if <"http://www.yourlawyer.com/topics/overview/e_coli_escherichia_coli">E. coli was involved.

The videotape was obtained by the Humane Society and showed animals that could not walk on their own being prodded and, in some cases, fork-lifted onto the killing floor. When animals fall ill, packers are required to alert USDA veterinarians so they can decide if the animal can be slaughtered for food.Â  While consumers were horrified at how the cattle were treated, the cruelty they endured was not what got the attention of the government.Â  The USDA forbids cows that cannot move on their own from being slaughtered because their illness may be an indication of a condition that renders their meat unfit for consumption.Â  The most famous condition of concern is Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad-cow disease.Â  While cattle are afflicted with BSE, humans who eat infected meat are at a risk of contracting Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [vCJD].

A much more common reason for recalling beef is E. coli contamination.Â  Last year there were 21 such recalls, including 21.7 million pounds of raw meat distributed by the now defunct Topps Meat Company.Â  While Escherichia coli is a very common bacterium; E. coli 0157:H7 is a virulent strain found in the digestive systems of cattle.Â  This strain does not sicken cattle, but in humans it can cause digestive distress and, sometimes, more serious problems and even death.Â  The bacteria are benignly present in the cowâ€™s intestines and feces and because cows living in feedlots cannot avoid contact with manure; they step in it and it gets on their hides.Â  One of the most critical aspects of safe slaughtering is keeping the hides from touching the carcasses and cleanly removing the cow’s digestive organs.Â  If the contents of the cow’s intestines or manure on the hide contact the meat, there is potential for contamination.Â  The risk is smaller for meat destined to be cut into steaks or roasts because any E. coli present
will be located on the meat’s outer surface and killed once it reaches 160 degrees, which the surface of even a rare steak generally reaches. â€¨â€¨But when contaminated beef is ground, E. coli present on the surface is mixed with the clean interior neat.Â  Also, if the ground meat of a clean animal is ground with that of a contaminated oneâ€”and this is generally the caseâ€”the entire quantity will be compromised.

Hallmark/Westland has been closed since early February when the video was released and the USDA has put a hold on all of its products, suspending the company indefinitely as a supplier to federal nutrition programs.

The pitfalls of right to manage claims and how to avoid them

The Upper Tribunal has made it clear in its recent decisions that it will show no sympathy for tenants’ procedural mistakes in right to manage (RTM) claims. The Upper Tribunal has issued stark warning for tenants seeking to acquire the right to manage their building that the statutory procedures are not difficult to comply with and so you must get it right.

It can however be tricky to navigate around the statutory requirements and tenants either going it alone or appointing inexperienced representatives are at risk of getting caught out on what may at first appear to be a trivial mistake.

The right to manage is simple in concept but fraught with potential problems in practice such as:

  • Does the building qualify?
  • What about an estate situation?
  • Which external parts will you be responsible for managing and can you recover the cost of this?
  • Who must you invite to participate and how?
  • What about freeloaders and cash flow?
  • What voting rights will the landlord(s) have?

So you need to tread carefully to limit the risks. If an error is made in the exercise of the RTM you will have to start again wasting both time and money. Even if an error is not made, the landlord may give a negative counter notice and force you to incur the cost of a tribunal hearing.

It is vital to use an experienced professional from the outset of a right to manage claim. While there are many who purport to know the system there are multiple cases of tenant’s representatives or self-represented tenants making mistakes which are fatal to their claim. An RTM claim is a statutory process for acquiring many of the rights and obligations akin to acquiring the landlord’s property. Parliament has set out specific steps to be taken in order to acquire those rights and obligations. Those steps should not be missed and nor can an omission or flaw in taking those steps be overlooked by the tribunal.

Mistakes in the Notice of Invitation to Participate (NOITP)

There are two cases involving the landlord Assethold Limited which demonstrate the fatality of the RTM company serving insufficient NOITPs or claim forms.

In the case of Assethold Ltd v 13-24 Romside Place RTM Co Ltd [2013] UKUT 603, 13-24 Romside correctly served a NOITP, but it incorrectly stated the Landlord’s name. The Tribunal held that by stating the wrong name on the notice this was a failure to give the information required and that this could not be saved by section 78(7)of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, which states that not all inaccuracies are necessarily fatal to the claim. The Tribunal deemed the mistake to be a complete omission of the required information and not simply an inaccuracy. This could have been easily remedied by thorough research in to the correct landlord rather than relying on rent demands alone. However this is something an experienced professional would pick up on and guide you through.

Mistakes in the Claim Form

In a second Assethold case (Assethold Limited v 15 Yonge Park RTM Co Ltd 2011 UKUT 379), the RTM company’s claim failed because the claim form gave the wrong registered office address for the RTM company. Like the first Assethold case discussed above, the registered office of the RTM company was entirely wrong, this amounted to an omission rather than an inaccuracy and so could not be saved by section 81(1) of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. An experienced advisor would have known to ensure that the registered office was entered on to the claim form correctly.

In Gateway Property Holdings Limited v Ross Wharf RTM Company Limited [2016] UKUT 97, the tribunal were asked to consider whether a claim notice was served in error. The RTM Company had previously served a claim notice on the landlord’s registered address and the landlord had responded that its address for service was to be its solicitor’s office. The RTM Company withdrew its first claim (for unspecified reasons) and served a second claim notice on the landlord’s registered address. The landlord contended that this claim notice was not valid as it had not been served on the address it had previously provided for service. The Upper Tribunal did not agree with the landlord on this occasion and determined that the address supplied related to the first claim notice only. However it was in this case that the Upper Tribunal issued a warning to tenants that it was wrong to take a lenient approach to statutory compliance.
Mistakes as to the law

The case of Triplerose Limited v Ninety Broomfield Road RTM Co Ltd [2015] EWCA Civ 282, demonstrates the risk of legal flaws in the claim notice. The Court of Appeal held that the RTM company Ninety Broomfield Road could not acquire the right to manage more than one self-contained building or part of a building. This was a question of legal interpretation and the decision reversed the finding of the Upper Tribunal. It is important for tenants wanting to gain the right to manage of an estate or multiple buildings to be properly advised on the extent of the claim to the building and its appurtenant property and the proper planning for joint management of areas communal to more than one building.

It is highly advisable to seek the advice of a specialist and experienced solicitor at the outset of a right to manage claim. Serving a defective NOITP or claim form not only runs up unnecessary costs but they may also leave participating tenants compromised if the procedure is later challenged by a landlord or non-participating tenant.

This briefing note is not intended to be an exhaustive statement of the law and should not be relied on as legal advice to be applied to any particular set of circumstances.  Instead, it is intended to act as a brief introductory view of some of the legal considerations relevant to the subject in question.

Jack Swagger Arrested For DUI, Removed From WWE Match

Jack Swagger was arrested for DUI and marijuana possession, which has shocked wrestling fans. His status for WrestleMania 29 has remained silent. If the WWE does decide to drop him, then a title shot for Brock Lesnar could happen.

With so much at stake, the WWE may be mulling a change of plans for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match with titleholder Alberto Del Rio.

Swagger might be removed from his WrestleMania match.

WWE sources note that Jack Swagger was scheduled to win the World Heavyweight Title from Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania 29. No word yet on what his arrest means for booking plans but WWE creative was working late on Wednesday night to come up with ideas, which doesn’t sound good for Swagger and Zeb Colter.

The reasons for such a late move by the company are obvious. The WWE is now attempting to appeal to younger fans, and an idiotic move like that of Swagger’s alleged behavior simply cannot be tolerated. Thus, he must be made an example of.

Lesnar will be ready to go for WrestleMania, and right now it seems he will take on Triple H in April. However, that’s a match we’ve seen before as it occurred at SummerSlam last year, so it is still fresh in the minds of WWE fans.

Not to mention, it would be another repeat performance on this year’s card, which is something fans are not happy about already thanks to another John Cena-Rock matchup.

The company could go in several other directions. It could pit one of the losers from the Elimination Chamber match to face the World Heavyweight champ, or maybe Dolph Ziggler could cash in his Money in the Bank because he was so close to doing it on Monday Night Raw.

Until then, or if WWE makes a change, all eyes are on Swagger.

Younger gay people twice as likely to self-harm, survey finds

The LGBTIreland Report shows older LGBTI people are doing well

LGBTI young people are three times as likely to have attempted suicide and twice as likely to self-harm.

The findings are compared to the 'My World National Youth Mental Health' study.

The LGBTIreland report also finds that LGBTI young people in the study had four times the level of severe or extremely severe stress, anxiety and depression.

Some 2,264 people took part in the survey carried out by the Gay and Lesbian Network, GLEN.

The report shows that a majority of LGBTI people aged 26 and over are doing well, report good self-esteem and are proud of their LGBTI identity.

However, these positive findings are not shared across all age groups.

It finds that LGBTI people still face considerable barriers to good mental health - including bullying at school, fear of rejection and discrimination, harassment and violence and negative attitudes and stereotypes.

Some 56% of LGBTI 14 to 18-year-olds had self-harmed, 70% had suicidal thoughts and one-in-three had attempted to take their own lives.

Speaking at the launch of the report, former president Mary McAleese said: "This scholarly report is as essential and revealing as it is horrifying".

"The ongoing damage is undeniable. That it involves so many young people is tragic. That it is soluble is the good news", she added.

Professor Agnes Higgins of Trinity College Dublin, who led the research team, said: "As well as differences across age groups The LGBTIreland Report also found differences among LGBTI people".

"The research reveals that there is a hierarchy of risk among LGBTI people, with intersex, transgender and bisexual people reporting poorer mental health outcomes compared to gay men and lesbian women".

'Hierarchy of progress'

"This hierarchy of risk reflects the fact that more progress has been made on reducing homophobia in Ireland than biphobia and transphobia".

"This hierarchy of progress highlights the need for increased advocacy and support for bisexual, transgender and intersex people and to address the diversity of needs within the LGBTI community", Prof Higgins added.

Odhran Allen, director of mental health at GLEN, says the report shows widespread misunderstanding.

"People think that you can't know that you're LGBT at age 12, even though age 12 is the age that most people knew they were LGBT in the study", he said.

"And also, some adults believe that you can become convinced to become LGBTI if the topic is discussed in school".

"So we need to overcome this misunderstanding and these negative attitudes towards LGBTI people that still exist in Irish society" he added.

While Dr Carol Anne O'Brien, director of advocacy at BeLonG To Youth Services, spoke to Newstalk Breakfast.

Parenting gimmicks: crushing the individuality of children and guilt-tripping adults

The mean and narrow-minded advice in Steve Biddulph’s “Raising Girls”.

Confession time: I own a copy of Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys. To be fair, I didn’t actually pay for it. I liberated it from the book exchange shelf in my office. I thought it was better in my hands than in those of someone who might actually want to use it on his or her sons. Rather than try any of Biddulph’s techniques on my own knockabout, boisterous, really-good-at-imagining-what-shapes-look-like-if-you-turn-them-the-other-way-round little people, I fully intended to use it just for “research” ie the same kind of “know your enemy” wallowing in bile that drives many a self-respecting liberal to Mail Online.

Having snuck the book home, I opened it at a random page, just to get a feel for the genre. I happened upon a section entitled “Boys who want to be girls”. So what does Biddulph have to say on supporting children who are questioning the gender they were assigned at birth? Worse than sod all, it turns out. He refers to a study of three – that’s right, three! – boys and endorses the researcher’s view that it is “a delay in development – not a fixed problem”:

It is not connected with homosexuality, and the boys [the researcher] studied outgrew the ‘disorder’ by late adolescence.

Or, in Daily Mail-speak, don’t worry, he’s not queer – it’s just a phase. But this isn’t the section that concerned me the most. Oh no, it’s this:

Alison Soutter is unsure about causation, but the three boys in her study all had fathers who had disabilities or illnesses that kept them very passive in the family. It may be the good, warm involvement of a father in family life that works preventatively, ensuring that boys find the male role model appealing.

Now let’s just consider that for a moment. Dads, if the child who was identified as male at birth tells you he wants to be a woman, don’t think for a minute that this is okay. It’s because you’ve failed to show him how to be “a man”. What’s more, being ill or disabled makes you a seriously flawed male role model.

And this is coming from someone who is telling parents how to raise their children. Someone who is considered an authority. If Richard Littlejohn or Julie Burchill came out with it, we’d recognise it for the hateful bigotry it is. But it’s Steve Biddulph and he’s a touchy-feely parenting advisor. Hence this all seems to slip under the radar.

And hence with the release of Raising Girls, there hasn’t been a single headline screaming “Bigoted author now decides to tell everyone (except the disabled) how to raise their other kids – you know, the ones dressed in pink”. Certainly, Biddulph receives a good dressing-down from Dr Brooke Magnanti in the Daily Telegraph. But elsewhere Biddulph’s advice on how to raise almost everyone, based simply on the genitals they’re born with, is received with good humour, if not praise. I think there needs to be a far more vocal rejection of Biddulph’s whole project. I think the whole thing stinks.

Raising Girls was written because Biddulph started to notice that “today it is girls who are in trouble, in a world that seems bent on poisoning their confidence and trashing their lives” (an observation that’s never been made by any feminist, ever, over the last fifty years). It’s good to know Steve’s motives are honorable and not remotely related to some market segment analysis that identified a great big swathe of paranoid parent wealth that hadn’t yet been tapped. The book promises to tackle “all the issues – bullying, eating disorders, body image, alcohol, managing social media, and relating happily to boys”. Should I comment on the absence of sexism, misogyny and reproductive choices from this list? Perhaps it’s churlish of me to do so; it reveals my bias. But the fact is, I believe sexism genuinely exists. And while it’s all very convenient to airily blame eating disorders and body image issues on “the media” and “consumer culture”, I think you also need to look at the sexism underpinning these cultural messages. It’s not that distant from the type of sexism which leads to books telling you to bring up boys and girls in fundamentally different ways, or that men and women can’t really communicate with each other.

Books such as Biddulph’s – and John Gray’s, and Barbara and Allan Pease’s, and Simon Baron-Cohen’s, and Louann Brizendine’s etc. etc.. – seem to rest on the assumption that we’re only just emerging from a radical feminist phase in which the message was that EVERYONE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. Only now is it safe to stick one’s head over the parapet and say “actually, people are different. But only in two very strictly limited, non-variable ways”. So, everyone, do you remember this time of sexless beige uniformity? Because I don’t. I was born in the 1970s. When I was at primary school, they’d only just started allowing boys to do sewing (although they got to do practical pencil cases while we girlies had to settle for useless samplers). By the time I left secondary school in the 1990s, it was the start of Loaded culture and retrosexism. And then shortly after that neurosexism and evolutionary psychology began their steady rise to the top of the sexism tree. At no point have I experienced a gender-neutral world. Nor would I wish to. But it strikes me as bizarre that in a society in which gender stereotyping is rife – in which one day I’d have a “pretty, sociable baby” and the next I’d have a “boisterous little tyke” depending on whether the blue or the pink bib was in the wash – there is a massive industry devoted to finding new ways to justify and promote these stereotypes.

There have been some excellent, rigorous debunkings of the “research” that justifies “essential differences” – both Deborah Cameron and Cordelia Fine write with verve, wit and enough research to outweigh any wishful thinking (Baron-Cohen could learn much from this model). Yet the myth that we all need a helping hand with our gender stereotyping still persists. Sexism sells, and gender-based conditioning is miserably self-reinforcing. I have two children. One is chatty, sociable, a little show-off; the other is precise, quiet, with a brilliant memory and a love of building things. Unless one or both of them ever tell me otherwise, they’re both boys. I think they are amazing, but also very different, yet it’s me, the feminist, who’s meant to be in denial about difference.

Raising Girls is worse than most books of this type. It’s worse, I think, because it’s about children and how we respond to them. It’s also worse because it mixes enough anodyne fact with boorish opinion to convince. So much of the book is unimpressively correct that it’s easy to slip into acceptance mode and not notice the places where it’s Sid the Sexist hiding behind the language of The Modern Parents. The section on what happens in puberty might be lifted from one of those leaflets that’s handed out during “the period talk” at school. The bit on eating disorders probably comes from one of those “now for the facts” tables that magazines include at the end of someone’s personal account of anorexia hell. None of it is controversial, yet I can’t help thinking that if you want help with a particular parenting issue, it’s not a vague “parenting” expert you want; it’s an expert in the actual issue (Christopher G. Fairburn for eating disorders, for instance). It’s as though Biddulph has half-heartedly read up on a few of the topics covered in Cosmo, blended this with his own brand of willful essentialism, thrown in a few “caring” noises and hey presto! All you need to raise a girl! But let’s not forget the nasty bits.

To be fair, Biddulph has backed off from the explicit transphobia (“transgender girls […] are another category we haven’t addressed in this book” – I have to say, in this case it’s better than nothing, or should that be ‘better than something’?). But we have a whole chapter devoted to slut-shaming, charmingly called Too Sexy Too Soon (I don’t think this is a reference to Right Said Fred). For me, this part in particular stood out:

I couldn’t help smiling when a colleague who counsels sex-workers told me there was real annoyance among her clients that they could no longer be identified in the streets because 17-year olds dressed and looked just like them.

I don’t know whether or not this is true, but I bet Biddulph couldn’t help smiling, not least because he’s hit on a superficially PC-way to say “young girls today? They all look like prostitutes!” without having to acknowledge that setting such “humorous” observations in this context is dismissive of sex workers, not to mention strangely prurient.

The biggest disappointment for me (yes, I’m still capable of feeling let down by this) comes with the section on being a single mum. If you’re a single mum, don’t worry; Biddulph has “talked to hundreds of single mums”. He no doubt has whole binders full of you. All the same, he’s managed to boil down his wisdom to one page and two points, which are: one, for god’s sake, find some man who’ll be willing to do that “male role model” thing, even if he’s not sleeping with you, and two, don’t be such a man-hating harpy, or in Biddulph’s words:

If you are angry and disappointed with men, [your daughter] may be ambivalent, either feeling the same, or flipping to the other extreme and being man crazy. It’s important that you get help for any issues about being hurt by men, and that you relate to men with strength and dignity, but warmth too, so that she sees you get along with men.

Because that is, quite clearly, the main problem single mums and their daughters face in an expensive, exhausting, prejudice-filled, nuclear family-obsessed world: Mummy’s personal man-hate. So yeah, sort it out, y’hear? Otherwise your daughter will end up either a misandrist or the local bike.

This stuff makes me angry. It’s not supportive or caring; it’s mean and narrow-minded. And on a broader scale, what infuriates me is the short-sightedness of it all. Family psychologists can do incredible work. Yet to sell a book, to go on a tour, to become a world-renowned “popular” expert, you need a gimmick. But is it worth it? Crushing the individuality of children and guilt-tripping parents with double-edged “concern”? To me it feels a terrible waste.

I have known my children since the moment they drew breath, before they knew anything about male or female. Every day their horizons diminish, just a little, and so they should. My children’s beliefs need to be shaped by the world they live in. They need to know that not everything’s possible. But let’s try to stick to what’s necessary and nothing more. Imagination, identity, spirit, whatever you call these things, are neither pink nor blue. Let’s try to raise adults who are still capable of choosing their colours for themselves.

Copeland must be Labour's final warning

Unison's general secretary says Jeremy Corbyn is a friend - but must also take responsibility for turning the party's prospects around.

No one objective could argue that last night’s by-election results were good for Labour.

Whilst it was undoubtedly pleasing to see serial fibber Paul Nuttall and his Trumpian politics put in their place in Stoke, this was never a seat where the result should have been in doubt.

But to lose Copeland – held by Labour for 83 years – to a party that has inflicted seven years of painful spending cuts on our country, and is damaging the NHS, is disastrous.

Last autumn, I said that Labour had never been farther from government in my lifetime. Five months on the party hasn’t moved an inch closer to Downing Street.

These results do not imply a party headed for victory. Copeland is indicative of a party sliding towards irrelevance. Worse still, Labour faces an irrelevance felt most keenly by those it was founded to represent.

There will be those who seek to place sole blame for this calamity at the door of Jeremy Corbyn. They would be wrong to do so.

The problems that Labour has in working-class communities across the country did not start with Corbyn’s leadership. They have existed for decades, with successive governments failing to support them or even hear their calls for change. Now these communities are increasingly finding outlets for their understandable discontent.

During the 2015 election, I knocked on doors on a large council estate in Edmonton – similar to the one I grew up on. Most people were surprised to see us. The last time they’d seen Labour canvassers was back in 1997. Perhaps less surprisingly, the most common response was why would any of them bother voting Labour.

As a party we have forgotten our roots, and have arrogantly assumed that our core support would stay loyal because it has nowhere else to go. The party is now paying the price for that complacency. It can no longer ignore what it’s being told on the doorstep, in workplaces, at ballot boxes and in opinion polls.

Unison backed Corbyn in two successive leadership elections because our members believed – and I believe – he can offer a meaningful and positive change in our politics, challenging the austerity that has ravaged our public services. He is a friend of mine, and a friend of our union. He has our support, because his agenda is our agenda.

Yet friendship and support should never stand in the way of candour. True friends don’t let friends lose lifelong Labour seats and pretend everything is OK. Corbyn is the leader of the Labour party, so while he should not be held solely responsible for Labour’s downturn, he must now take responsibility for turning things around.

That means working with the best talents from across the party to rebuild Labour in our communities and in Parliament. That means striving for real unity – not just the absence of open dissent. That means less debate about rule changes and more action on real changes in our economy and our society.

Our public servants and public services need an end to spending cuts, a change that can only be delivered by a Labour government.

For too many in the Labour party the aim is to win the debate and seize the perceived moral high ground – none of which appears to be winning the party public support.

But elections aren’t won by telling people they’re ignorant, muddle-headed or naive. Those at the sharp end – in particular the millions of public service employees losing their jobs or facing repeated real-terms pay cuts – cannot afford for the party to be so aloof.

Because if you’re a homecare worker earning less than the minimum wage with no respite in sight, you need an end to austerity and a Labour government.

If you’re a nurse working in a hospital that’s constantly trying to do more with less, you need an end to austerity and a Labour government.

And if you’re a teaching assistant, social worker or local government administrator you desperately need an end to austerity, and an end to this divisive government.

That can only happen through a Labour party that’s winning elections. That has always been the position of the union movement, and the Labour party as its parliamentary wing.

While there are many ways in which we can change society and our communities for the better, the only way to make lasting change is to win elections, and seize power for working people.

That is, and must always be, the Labour party’s cause. Let Copeland be our final warning, not the latest signpost on the road to decline.

Dave Prentis is Unison's general secretary.

    Participants gather for the first NCDS Leadership Summit, which produced a white paper on the data challenges in genomic sciences

Newswise — CHAPEL HILL, NC — Leading researchers in data science and genomics are recommending strategies to help genomic scientists better manage, share, analyze and archive massive research and clinical data sets in an effort to ensure that the big data explosion results in better health outcomes and faster research discoveries.

The recommendations are presented in the first white paper published by the National Consortium for Data Science (NCDS), a public-private partnership launched in North Carolina to push the development of data science, foster better data science education, and encourage the development of new data-related products and services.

The white paper, titled Data to Knowledge: Genomes to Health, resulted from the first NCDS Leadership Summit, held last April in Chapel Hill, NC. The summit brought together researchers in genomics and data science to discuss the greatest data challenges in genomic sciences and to brainstorm on possible solutions to those challenges. About 70 leaders in their fields attended the summit and identified the genomic science data challenges in the areas of data provenance, collection and management, delineation of phenotypes, adjudication of genomic variants, biostatistics and bioinformatics, data sharing, and ethics and the law.

Recommendations for dealing with those challenges included:
• Fostering more interdisciplinary collaborations.
• Pushing for widespread adoption of advanced analytical approaches, tools and data standards.
• Incentivizing data sharing while keeping data safe and secure.
• Developing automated, easy to use clinical decision support systems.
• Launching new education and training in big data and information technology.
• Clarifying legal and ethical issues, such as how to handle incidental findings and how to distinguish between fair use and misuse of genomic data.

Ten authors contributed to the paper: Stan Ahalt, PhD, Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill; Chris Bizon, PhD, RENCI; Jim Evans, MD, PhD, UNC School of Medicine; Yaniv Erlich, PhD, The Whitehead Institute; Geoffrey S. Ginsburg, MD, PhD, Duke University Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy; Ashok Krishnamurthy, PhD, RENCI; Leslie Lange, PhD, UNC-Chapel Hill; Dan Maltbie, Annai Systems; Dan Masys, University of Washington; Charles Schmitt, RENCI; and Kirk Wilhelmsen, UNC School of Medicine

The white paper is available online at: http://data2discovery.org/Summit-2013.

The National Consortium for Data Science formed a year ago to provide a foundation for advancing data science research, educating the next generation of data scientists, and translating data innovations into economic opportunity. Membership is open to businesses, nonprofits, academic institutions and government agencies. For more information, see www.data2discovery.org.

Self assembly of fd viruses

Presented by:
B Pelcovits [Brown University Providence, Rhode Island]
Thursday 13th June 2013 -
11:00 to 12:00
INI Seminar Room 1
Self-assembled Smectic-A monolayers composed of chiral fd viruses in the presence of a polymer depletant have been shown by the Dogic group to exhibit a variety of novel structures as a function of temperature and polymer concentration. After reviewing some of the experimental findings I will discuss a phenomenological theoretical model of this system based on the Helfrich membrane energy and the de Gennes theory of smectics. I will show how this model can be used to understand some of the fascinating experimental observations of fd self-assembly.

For all the variability in the meaning of marriage, one fairly consistent element over time and place was that it had nothing to do with love … In fact, loving one’s spouse too much was considered a threat to social and religious order.

The question of whether one should marry for love is at the center of Philip Gourevitch’s 1999 Letter from Queens, “A Husband for Dil.” Gourevitch writes about Dilshad Ahamed, a nineteen-year-old daughter of Indian immigrants whose father has recently announced that it is time for her to marry. Dil considers her parents old-fashioned. She tells Gourevitch,

You’re born, you stay single, and you’re a little Virgin Mary, and then—when it’s time that they find you a guy—yeah, you’re married…. The only guy that’s supposed to be in your life until then is your father.

The piece describes Dil’s sister’s arranged marriage (a happy one) and ends with Dil speculating about who her future husband might be:

I need to know this. Waiting is killing me. The suspense is killing me. I need to know who is going to be there for me, because you can’t run from it. I want all this freedom and stuff. But, at the end, it all comes down to one thing: Who is this person? Where is he? And when am I going to find him? You know, are we going to have a happy marriage?

Gourevitch’s piece also includes an early profile of the actor Aasif Mandvi, now famous for his appearances on “The Daily Show” and his roles in such movies as “The Proposal” and “Spider-Man 2.” Between visits to Dil, Gourevitch attends a performance of Mandvi’s play, “Shakina’s Restaurant,” which pokes fun at, among other things, the Indian tradition of arranged marriages.

From 1989 to 1997, Daniel Clowes produced eighteen issues of a comic-book series called “Eightball.” As Sean Nelson wrote recently in The Stranger, Eightball became one of the essential comedic touchstones of 1990s culture, a way to help the self-selecting weirdos of the pre-internet—or at least pre-good-internet—era identify kindred spirits and speak in shorthand.” The series is now about to be rereleased as a “slipcased set of two hardcover volumes, reproducing each issue in facsimile form exactly as they were originally published.” The irony of a hundred-and-twenty-dollar volume that collects comic books which sold for two dollars and fifty cents an issue cannot be lost on Daniel Clowes, the cartoonist, graphic novelist, and filmmaker (with Terry Zwigoff for “Ghost World” and “Art School Confidential”) who’s widely considered a one-man embodiment of nineties cool.

We asked Clowes to reflect on his work from the past twenty-five years.

The stories you were doing in “Eightball” cross many genres, use different drawing styles, and are of varying length. Was it your intention to try out different approaches each time?

I remember my initial impetus: I wanted to do an anthology publication like Mad magazine, but I just wanted it to be all my own work—with no other collaborators. The thought was that if you did stories in all these different styles—if you combined the serious stuff with humorous stuff—that the result would be kind of discordant. But I also had the theory that if it was all by the same artist, and the artist was trying to be truthful or willing to let his unconscious or his intuition decide what was going to happen on the pages, then it would all kind of come together in a cohesive way. At least that was the theory I was going by.

Looking back, do you feel it was borne out in “Eightball”?

Yeah, the interesting thing is that, at the time, it really felt like it was all over the map. I thought, People are going to think it was done by a team of different artists. And now, when I look back at it, it all seems much more cohesive than I ever imagined or intended. Also, at the time, I hadn’t decided what kind of an artist I wanted to be, or even if comics were what I’d be good at, so I was trying out different styles, different styles of humor. I was sort of fishing around to see what people could get out of the work. There are a few stories in there where I really just pushed, by tackling things that were strictly personal to me and couldn’t possibly have any meaning to anybody else. I was putting it out there to see if it somehow transmitted something to another person. It turns out that I could, kind of, after several issues, figure out where the line was. There was a certain point past which people had no idea what I was trying to do. But, you know, I’d often go right up to that line, and people could get something out of it even if I myself wasn’t even sure what it was.

Can you talk about one of the cohesive elements you see now in your work that you may not have seen at the time?

Well, now the work certainly seems to reflect a very cohesive world view. But, yes, some things did shift. At the time, I was trying to figure out what I felt about things, but also say what I knew about the world; all my little pronouncements, which I was doing facetiously. I knew that I didn’t really know anything, but on some level I felt like I did. And then, over a certain amount of time, I realized I truly didn’t know anything, and at a certain point I realized I didn’t even want to go out on that limb and make any kind of statement—just look at questions and not deliver any answers.

Do you feel like your work has become more personal over the years? As you built a persona as an artist, have you been able to push the line you were talking about—whether readers get it or not?

Well, it hasn’t changed much in many ways, but the one difference I really see is that, back then, there were certain things that I knew I just couldn’t handle—certain types of drawings or storytelling that were beyond my abilities, so I would write everything to my strengths. The early issues are all about things I knew how to do. But as the stories went on, I tried to expand on what that range was, and now I feel like there’s nothing that’s intimidating to me. There’s no story that I don’t feel like I could at least give it a good shot.

What specifically comes to mind, in terms of the kind of drawing that you didn’t try then and feel comfortable with now?

You just sort of see it in the general scope of the drawing. It’s all kind of flat and stiff and it has this kind of diorama effect, where I would draw the characters within the foreground that were central to the story and then throw in the background behind them, as though they were a green screen or something. And now I feel like if I’m drawing characters in a room, I’m feeling a whole room. I’m sort of aware of how the perspective in that room would feel. It’s a much more organic, natural feeling. Now when I’m drawing I kind of feel like the characters are actually standing in a room rather than cardboard cutouts with a backdrop on it. And not that I even dislike that idea—there’s something kind of appealing about that whole dissonance. I remember at the time I was so stressed out trying to get it to look a very specific way that’s very controlled, kind of old-comic-style inking, that my hands would actually clench up and I’d have to relax my hands because they were clenched with white knuckles gripped around the brush—and you can really feel that in the artwork. But there’s something kind of strong about that tension that comes through. And now it’s a much more loose and fluid feeling that I’m doing now.

Will there be any more installments of “Eightball” in the future?

I wouldn’t necessarily say I wouldn’t do any more “Eightballs,” but I know I no longer have ideas for eight-page stories—the kind of things that work well in a small comic like that. I often have ideas that I think will be a short thing—I’ve had a couple that I was going to send to you at The New Yorker, but I sit down to jot down a four-page story and next thing you know there are eighty-five pages. That’s the way my brain is working these days. Now I get into the worlds of the stories that I’m interested in and I want to present all these little moments. It used to be—when I was doing the comics—that I’d change my mind after the third panel. I’d change what I wanted to do for the rest of the story and it would be a big accomplishment to get through five pages without throwing the whole thing away and starting over. When I was doing all these short pieces, it was a way to constantly have the opportunity to do something else.

When you created the stories serialized in “Eightball”—such as “Velvet Glove” or “Ghost World”—did you intend then for them to be short pieces, or did you have a sense they could continue into a longer narrative?

Neither was intended to be a long story when it came out. “Like a Velvet Glove in Cast Iron” was supposed to be two parts and “Ghost World” was supposed to be a single story, but then, as I was finishing it, I started to have all these ideas for more. One of the beauties of the process back then was that I was always on a deadline. I had to get these comics out a couple times a year—hopefully four times a year, but I don’t think I ever came close to that. You’d have your publisher saying, “This is going to the printer in three days, you need to fill up two more pages,” and so I would just come up with whatever popped into my head. Now if I have ideas that would have been those little moments, those two-page stories in the old “Eightball,” they become moments in whatever longer stories I’m working on.

“Ghost World” and “Art School Confidential” were both turned into movies—how did that influence or interfere or enrich what you do? I remember you at some point saying that the good thing about having spent so much time working on films is it made you appreciate being a cartoonist.

Yeah, absolutely. And you know, at the time those came along, I think I really needed to do something else. There seems to be a time in a lot of cartoonists’ lives when you need a change. You hit late thirties or early forties and you realize you’ve been doing it for your whole life, ever since you were a teen-ager—you feel like you’ve been in prison for twenty years. It’s solitary confinement in a lot of ways, and you think, like, “Ah! I gotta do anything but that!” But, of course, you soon realize you’re not equipped for anything else. And so to have something like that come along was really a great gift in a lot of ways, because it’s a collaborative venture, and it’s also a medium where I’m able to use a lot of the things that I learned doing comics, but with its own very different process. When you’re working on films, your work’s contingent on all these other factors that are beyond your control. For me, it was a good thing to do for a third or half of my time for seven or eight years, but at a certain point I got really tired of the arbitrary things that happen. You have projects all set up and then something loses its tax deferment or something like that—it’s so frustrating! The one great beauty of comics, among the many others, is that you don’t have to worry about anybody funding it. In the worst-case scenario, you can just publish it yourself. You can Xerox it and hand it out to your friends. It will still get published if you want it to. In the past four or five years, I’ve just really embraced coming back to comics. It’s been the most fun it’s ever been.

Once you finish your current project—the one you said you didn’t want to discuss—is there anything you’re looking forward to doing? Do you have some wish like, “I want to go play the kazoo in a band,” for example?

How did you know? Actually, I can’t wait for—I have an idea for another comic that I’m looking forward to getting to. But right now I have to do all the coloring on my current comic, the one I’ve been on for five years, and that’s an endless task—horrible scanning, cleaning, and bucketing color in Photoshop, and all that.

What do you do to relax those muscles?

Well, I have a ten-year-old boy, so there’s always plenty to do. That’s sort of my hobby, trying to keep up with him. My goal in life is to have people think I’m his dad and not his grandpa.

See below for a few pages from “Eightball,” by Daniel Clowes. “The Complete Eightball” will soon be released by Fantagraphics.


text:
The writer who can really shoot—the dream of generations of penny-pinching newspaper editors—is the rarest of creatures. Because I’ve failed at it enough times to know the difference between snapping off a few frames between interviews and really seeing a story, I’ve decided that it demands competing sections of the brain, operating in binary fashion: one on, the other off. Howard French, alas, proves otherwise. After a career in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America, and Asia, much of it as a bureau chief for the Times, French has published “Disappearing Shanghai: Photographs and Poems of an Intimate Way of Life” a chronicle of five years in Shanghai, with writing by Qiu Xiaolong (and an introduction by Teju Cole). French’s photos are intimate, unadorned, black-and-white. They capture moments at the center of a Chinese city in a way that is faithful to those of us who know these places, without resorting to the usual Porsche-beside-a-donkey images of today’s China. It’s Shanghai, but I prefer the ones that are placeless—the photos with no Chinese script to give them away: the alley portraits and sidewalk scenes that could be Helen Levitt’s New York, where the settlers were from County Cork not Hunan Province, but who wore similar anxieties and aspirations on their faces. Some questions for him:

E.O.: We usually think of China as a place of constant motion, but your pictures of Shanghai capture the opposite: people sitting, lying, staring, and on and on. Deliberate?

H.F.: There are a few things going on with the stillness that runs through these images. The work began with old film cameras, especially a 1956 vintage Rolleiflex, with which one must expose and focus manually, the latter being done by looking downward into the camera, where its ground-glass screen is housed. Everything about these cameras is slow, including the black-and-white film, which conditioned every aspect of making an image.

If one embraces the slowness, it really favors the distillation of a moment, which is the opposite of a great deal of digital photography done today, in which one can take an almost limitless number of photos, often in quick succession, and hope for the best. With the Rolleiflex, there are twelve images per roll of film. On a very good day during this project, I might have shot three rolls of film.

I didn’t think about it so consciously at the very outset, but after I had begun to amass a little bit of this work, the idea of distilling moments in time and of imparting a great stillness began to appeal to me very strongly. It seemed appropriate to my subject: a world poised on the edge of destruction, which I was watching crumble and vanish week by week.

The other thing which must be said is that I had to learn to make myself disappear in these landscapes, which wasn’t easy, given my conspicuous height. This didn’t mean hiding or quickly stealing furtive captures. Rather, it meant a lot of standing around, shifting one’s weight from one foot to the other, inching closer to subjects bit by bit, and simply waiting until people were no longer focussed on the presence of a foreigner taking pictures. It is true that I was drawn to many subjects who were, as you say, sitting, lying, and staring—that’s partly because this is what one found in this world of these neighborhoods, where life was lived out on the street, in public. And this style of life is disappearing just as surely as the demolished buildings.

Please compare Shanghai and Beijing.

There is something to the cliché that life in Shanghai is about materialism—money and fashion and art de vivre—while life in Beijing is about ideas and (for some) politics and art. Historically speaking, Shanghai has paid a doubly high price for its relationship with art. In the first half of the twentieth century, it was the locus of a lot of avant-garde experimentation and cosmopolitanism, but the city was purged of these tendencies after the Revolution, and treated as ideologically suspicious and unreliable. Even now, it is held in suspicion by the rest of China, somewhat exaggeratedly, for being somehow in thrall to foreign currents, both Western and Japanese, and not entirely Chinese. Beyond that, many Chinese regard Shanghainese as being excessively proud and, in part because of the local dialect, not especially welcoming or friendly. Beijing, on the other hand, can be claimed by any Chinese.

This family, wedged into a sliver of space, resonates with my experiences in China. What’s the story behind the picture?

This image was taken in the neighborhood that once surrounded the now demolished old cloth market, a warren of narrow streets where fabric was sold and tailors worked. The images in the book come from a half dozen neighborhoods that I visited over and over for a period of years, getting to know their streets and alleys and cul de sacs and their light and rhythms as intimately as I’ve come to know any place. Like all of the images that show interiors, this photograph was taken in the final year of the project, when I returned to Shanghai in the summer of 2009 on what was essentially a dare. A year after I had moved to New York, the great documentary photographer, Danny Lyon, told me that before I published a book I must try to explore the homes of the people who lived in the world of my photographs, and include that side of their life. For three months, I knocked on the doors of strangers all day, every day. It was something I had never done before, but through practice and persistence I gradually became able to achieve what felt to me like a natural and intimate effect.

Often, the work required lingering, sometimes for a very long time, until people began to pay less attention to me and simply relax. This scene, with the mother and her children was, like a few others, just something I stumbled into. It was made within seconds of entering that tiny space, and nobody seemed distracted by my presence.

In your notes, you write about the “dreams of prosperity.” How are those dreams changing in China?

The dream has indeed changed in vital ways. Money and opportunity are still very big parts of what drives urbanization in China, and I think the poor and the weak must still pay enormous costs to achieve prosperity. When I first arrived in Shanghai, in 2003, there were still frequent roundups of improperly documented migrants, meaning people without a Shanghai residence permit. They were put on trains and buses and sent back to their provinces, and sometimes, if they were caught two or three times coming back to the big city, they were fined and detained and treated harshly. That sort of thing is almost unheard of now. Something bigger has changed, though, and will continue to change. Perhaps it is the biggest source of change in China overall. To be specific, that is the spreading and deepening of the notion of citizenship. Even the most ordinary city-dweller has begun to think in new ways about what he assumes to be his rights. The earlier migrants, and indeed most Chinese until a fairly recent point in time, lived more or less as subjects. Now people are quick to complain in terms of rights and injustice, and they invoke the law and band together, albeit loosely, on this basis. It would seem to me that a trend like this can only grow, especially given the exploding availability of information and universal means of communication, beginning with the cell phone.

Quantum Spin liquid can form in a crystalline structure

NIST has confirmed long-standing suspicions among physicists that electrons in a crystalline structure called a kagome (kah-go-may) lattice can form a "spin liquid," a novel quantum state of matter in which the electrons' magnetic orientation remains in a constant state of change.

The research shows that a spin liquid state exists in Herbertsmithite—a mineral whose atoms form a kagome lattice, named for a simple weaving pattern of repeating triangles well-known in Japan. Kagome lattices are one of the simplest structures believed to possess a spin liquid state, and the new findings, revealed by neutron scattering, indeed show striking evidence for a fundamental prediction of spin liquid physics.

This image depicts magnetic effects within Herbertsmithite crystals, where green regions represent higher scattering of neutrons from NIST's Multi-Angle Crystal Spectrometer (MACS). Scans of typical highly-ordered magnetic materials show only isolated spots of green, while disordered materials show uniform color over the entire sample. The in-between nature of this data shows some order within the disorder, implying the unusual magnetic effects within a spin liquid.
Credit: NIST

The apparent simplicity of Herbertsmithite belies the complexity of the spin liquid state that it apparently supports, Broholm says, which could make it useful someday.

"The structural simplicity of Herbertsmithite is valuable if we are to put the quantum spin liquid to use—as proposed for information processing, for example," he says. "Complex chemistry usually brings disorder, but this material is relatively simple, so it realizes the quantum spin liquid with higher fidelity."

Balmora's underworld V1.1 by Fulgore

Additional quests and dialogue by Envy123

Get lost within the depths of Balmora's Underworld. Walk through the sewers: let the Thousand Lanterns Market take your breath away and explore the abandoned canals. Witness criminal factions fighting against each other and common folks going on about their daily lives. Discover the access to the massive cave system that lies deep below Balmora. Explore it enough and maybe you'll even be able to see with your own eyes Bthumynal, the legendary lost Dwemer ruin and its secrets within.

This mod adds a 3 cells sewer system to Balmora, and many more for the cave system and the Dwemer Ruin called Bthumynal. Refs count is pretty high in almost every cell and it goes from 400 to a over 1000 in some cells so this may cause a big FPS hit if your pc is not quite powerful. I won't spoil anything but I've tried to go a bit crazy with this, of course this is not the ultimate version: some misc quests and dialogue has been made by Envy123 and I plan to make future updates with full questlines and NPCs with dialogue. I'm still getting the hand of the TESCS and it's possibilities so this mod as been quite a good opportunity to learn many new things. I hope it will be fun for you to play as much it was for me to make it!
There is also an extra cell as little teaser of what\'s coming next ;)

For users of MW Rebirth 2.0 and newers
Uninstall the old version and use this one if you want to have Envy's dialogue and quests.

Copy the .esp to your Data Files folder.
Then, from the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box next to the FLG - Balmora's Underworld V1.1.esp file.

Delete the Balmora's Underworld V1.1.esp in your Data Files folder.

Every object/script that I have created or duplicated has a new ID that starts with "FLG_" to avoid conflicts. Any mod that has objects with the same IDs (which is highly improbable) will create conflicts.

V1.0: Initial release, works only with Trancemaster's MW Rebirth V2.0 and newers.
V1.1: Stand-alone release with additional quests and dialogue made by Envy123.

You can find me on the official Elder Scrolls forums and Great House Fliggerty as 'fulgore'.

Thanks to Envy123 for the quests and dialogue.
Thanks to Hordane for testing the mod.

Around the NFL

Tyron Smith, Cowboys tackle, could have elite year

As we count down the days to training camp, Around the League will examine one player from every team set for a breakout campaign in 2012. We've wrapped up the AFC and will now head to the NFC. First up, the Dallas Cowboys.

Tyron Smith could be the NFL's next elite left tackle

The Dallas Cowboys went to great lengths to shore up their offensive line in 2011. They used a top-10 pick on USC offensive tackle Tyron Smith (No. 9 overall) and signed Doug Free to a four-year, $32 million contract after the lockout.

Making the Leap

Around the League will pick from each NFL team one player who's poised for a breakout season in 2012:

AFC East
Bills | Dolphins | Jets | Patriots
AFC North
Bengals | Browns | Ravens | Steelers
AFC South
Colts | Jaguars | Texans | Titans
AFC West
Broncos | Chargers | Chiefs | Raiders
NFC East
Cowboys | Eagles | Giants | Redskins
NFC North
Bears | Lions | Packers | Vikings
NFC South
Buccaneers | Falcons | Panthers | Saints
NFC West
49ers | Cardinals | Rams | Seahawks

With the lockout expediting the learning process for Smith, who was the youngest player in the NFL last season, the Cowboys opened up the season with Free back at left tackle and Smith manning the same right tackle spot he played for the Trojans. Free missed just two snaps on the season, while Smith missed eight, a good sign that the Cowboys have talented and durable tackles under contract for the foreseeable future.

The tackles will, however, be switching sides.

Though he primarily played right tackle in his two years as a starter at USC, and has never started a game on the left side, the Cowboys moved Smith to left tackle this offseason. Their reasons are obvious. At 6-foot-5 and 307 pounds, with 36 3/8-inch arms, an 84 5/8-inch wingspan, impressive strength (31 reps on the bench press at his pro day) and quick feet, Smith has all the physical tools to become a Pro Bowl-caliber left tackle and has the added benefit of facing DeMarcus Ware, one the league's elite pass-rushers, every day in practice.

Given the state of the tackle position in the NFC -- Jason Peters, a starter in last year's Pro Bowl, has torn his Achilles tendon twice this offseason-- and the ballot-stuffing potential of Cowboys fans, the Pro Bowl is a personal achievement that could come sooner rather than later for Smith.

Tommy Emmanuel in Concert in Bangkok

Events — By Kevin Revolinski on October 13, 2010 at 8:03 am

The upcoming Bangkok Acoustic Guitar Celebration 2010 has a pretty spectacular guest. Like a Ph.D. holder, Tommy Emmanuel has a few letters after his name: C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player) What sounds like a mundane job license is a humorous bit of irony as Emmanuel is often cited as one of the best guitar players in the world. And if you are in Bangkok on October 31, you have an opportunity to see him perform.

Emmanuel grew up admiring guitar legend Chet Atkins who in turn watched with admiration as Emmanuel became one of the most critically acclaimed guitarists of our time. Emmanuel is a finger picker and uses an acoustic guitar in a fashion more similar to a piano. If you are into music at all, especially the guitar, this is not something to miss.

Also on the bill are the YouTube sensation Andy McKee and Korean guitar wunderkind Sungha Jung. Bangkok Acoustic Guitar Celebration 2010 featuring Tommy Emmanuel will be held at Centerpoint Playhouse on the 8th Floor at Central World in downtown Bangkok. Tickets range from 1000-3000 baht and can be purchased at
