Google Earth 7.0 for Android brings new, super-detailed 3D maps for some cities

Here's a bit of a surprise that slipped under the radar during the Google I/O keynote: Google Earth for Android has been updated to 7.0 to take advantage of the new 3D map technology it unveiled at another special event just a few weeks ago. As a refresher, the visuals are automatically created from 45-degree aerial imagery and can pick up 3D elements as subtle as trees. Before you go racing to your hometown to see how it looks in 3D, be aware that just a handful of cities and regions exploit that dimension. Besides San Francisco Bay, the full coverage extends to Boulder, Boston, Charlotte, Lawrence, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Portland, San Antonio, San Diego, Santa Cruz and Tampa in the US, with Rome being the lone international hotspot. If that's too few places to visit, there's always the addition of guided tours. Android users can head over Google Play to get the update today; iOS users shouldn't fret, as they'll get the new maps soon.

1 month to go: Olympic rings on London's Tower Bridge

The Olympic Games opens in exactly one month's time and London marked the moment by lowering giant Olympic rings from Tower Bridge. Msnbc.com's Dara Brown reports.

By ITV News

Five giant rings were lowered off London?s Tower Bridge over the River Thames Wednesday, bringing the famous Olympic symbol to one of the city?s most recognizable landmarks to mark exactly a month to go to the start of the 2012 games.

The rings - 82 feet wide and 37 feet tall - are part of efforts to bedeck the city in Olympic banners ahead of the competition, which starts on July 27 and ends on August 12.

The rings weigh three tons and cost more than $300,000 to produce, but have a highly symbolic presence on the bridge, which sits opposite the Tower of London and acts as a gateway for river traffic to the city center.

London Mayor Boris Johnson promised the city will ?cope very well? during the games.

Speaking on a boat on the river, he said: "I'm convinced that we have done everything that we can.?The venues are ready, they are under budget, the Park is looking fantastic already, the policing situation is great, you've got all the security in place, the transport network has had masses of investment and I know that it's going to cope very well."

The physics of going viral

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been able, for the first time, to watch viruses infecting individual bacteria by transferring their DNA, and to measure the rate at which that transfer occurs. Shedding light on the early stages of infection by this type of virus?a bacteriophage?the scientists have determined that it is the cells targeted for infection, rather than the amount of genetic material within the viruses themselves, that dictate how quickly the bacteriophage's DNA is transferred.

"The beauty of our experiment is we were able to watch individual viruses infecting individual bacteria,"says Rob Phillips, the Fred and Nancy Morris Professor of Biophysics and Biology at Caltech and the principal investigator on the new study. "Other studies of the rate of infection have involved bulk measurements. With our methods, you can actually watch as a virus shoots out its DNA."

The new methods and results are described in a paper titled "A Single-Molecule Hershey?Chase Experiment," which will appear in the July 24 issue of the journal Current Biology and currently appears online. The lead authors of that paper, David Van Valen and David Wu, completed the work while graduate students in Phillips's group.

In the well-known 1952 Hershey-Chase experiment, Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase of the Carnegie Institution of Washington in Cold Spring Harbor convincingly confirmed earlier claims that DNA?and not protein?was the genetic material in cells. To prove this, the researchers used bacteriophages, which are able to infect bacteria using heads of tightly bundled DNA coated in a protein shell. Hershey and Chase radiolabeled sulfur, contained in the protein shell but not in the DNA, and phosphorous, found in the DNA but not in the protein shell. Then they let the bacteriophages infect the bacterial cells. When they isolated the cells and analyzed their contents, they found that only the radioactive phosphorous had made its way into the bacteria, proving that DNA is indeed the genetic material. The results also showed that, unlike the viruses that infect humans, bacteriophages transmit only their genetic information into their bacterial targets, leaving their "bodies" behind.

"This led, right from the get-go, to people wondering about the mechanism?about how the DNA gets out of the virus and into the infected cell," Phillips says. Several hypotheses have focused on the fact that the DNA in the virus is under a tremendous amount of pressure. Indeed, previous work has shown that the genetic material is under more pressure within its protein shell than champagne experiences in a corked bottle. After all, as Phillips says, "There are 16 microns [16,000 nanometers] of DNA in a tiny 50-nanometer-sized shell. It's like taking 500 meters of cable from the Golden Gate Bridge and putting it in the back of a FedEx truck."

Phillips's group wanted to find out whether that pressure plays a dominant role in transferring the DNA. Instead, he says, "What we discovered is that the thing that mattered most was not the pressure in the bacteriophage, but how much DNA was in the bacterial cell."

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been able, for the first time, to watch viruses infecting individual bacteria by transferring their DNA, and to measure the rate at which that transfer occurs. Shedding light on the early stages of infection by this type of virus?a bacteriophage?the scientists have determined that it is the cells targeted for infection, rather than the amount of genetic material within the viruses themselves, that dictate how quickly the bacteriophage's DNA is transferred. This video begins with a lambda bacteriophage attached to an E. coli cell with the phage's DNA labeled with a fluorescent dye. The phage injects its viral DNA into the cell, and as the ejection proceeds, the dye molecules are transferred. Once inside the cell, the dye redistributes to the bacterium's genome, causing the whole cell to light up. Credit: Caltech

The researchers used a fluorescent dye to stain the DNA of two mutants of a bacteriophage known as lambda bacteriophage?one with a short genome and one with a longer genome?while that DNA was still inside the phage. Using a fluorescence microscope, they traced the glowing dye to see when and over what time period the viral DNA transferred from each phage into an E. coli bacterium. The mean ejection time was about five minutes, though that time varied considerably.

This was markedly different from what the group had seen previously when they ran a similar experiment in a test tube. In that earlier setup, they had essentially tricked the bacteriophages into ejecting their DNA into solution?a task that the phages completed in less than 10 seconds. In that case, once the phage with the longer genome had released enough DNA to make what remained inside the phage equal in length to the shorter genome, the two phages ejected DNA at the same rate. Therefore, Phillips's team reasoned, it was the amount of DNA in the phage that determined how quickly the DNA was transferred.

But Phillips says, "What was true in the test tube is not true in the cell." E. coli cells contain roughly 3 million proteins within a box that is roughly one micron (1,000 nanometers) on each side. Less than 10 nanometers separate each protein from its neighbors. "There's no room for anything else," Phillips says. "These cells are really crowded."

And so, when the bacteriophages try to inject their DNA into the cells, the factor that limits the rate of transfer is how jam-packed those cells are. "In this case," Phillips says, "it had more to do with the recipient, and less to do with the pressure that had built up inside the phage."

Looking toward the future, Phillips is interested in using the methods he and his team have developed to study different types of bacteriophages. He also wants to investigate various molecules that could be helping to actively pull the viral DNA into the cells. In the case of a bacteriophage called T7, for instance, previous work has shown that the host cell actually grabs onto the DNA and begins making copies of its genes before the virus has even delivered all the DNA into the cell. "We're curious whether that kind of mechanism is in play with the lambda bacteriophage," Phillips says.

The current findings have implications for the larger question of how biomolecules like DNA and proteins cross membranes in general, and not just into bacteria. Cells are full of membranes that divide them into separate compartments and that separate entire cells from the rest of the world. Much of the business of cellular life involves getting molecules across those barriers. "This process that we've been studying is one of the most elementary examples of what you could call polymer translocation or getting macromolecules across membranes," Phillips says. "We are starting to figure out the physics behind that process."

Activists: Syrian rebels clash with elite troops

BEIRUT (AP) ? Syria's elite Republican Guard forces clashed with rebels just outside Damascus Tuesday in some of the most intense fighting involving the special forces guarding the capital since an uprising against President Bashar Assad's regime began last year, activists said.

The clashes erupted near Republican Guard housing compounds and bases in the suburbs of Qudsaya and Hammah, about five miles (eight kilometers) from central Damascus, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. It said at least six people were killed in the fighting.

The Republican Guard, which is commanded by Assad's younger brother Maher, is tasked with protecting the capital, the seat of the regime's power.

The fighting suggested growing boldness by rebels as the more than 15-month effort to oust Assad turns increasingly militarized.

Clashes erupt regularly in the suburbs between troops and rebels, but Assad's forces have firm control of Damascus and it is very rare for fighting to take place near the Republican Guard bases. It was unclear what prompted the clashes or how close they were to the heavily guarded compounds.

Assad has faced an embarrassing wave of defections in recent days, including several senior officers and soldiers who fled to neighboring Turkey. Although high-level defections appear to be increasing, Assad's inner circle has remained largely intact.

State-run news agency SANA confirmed clashes in the area, claiming that dozens of gunmen attacked civilians and troops in Hammah. SANA said troops fought the attackers, including foreign fighters, killing dozens of them and detaining others.

Troops confiscated automatic rifles, rocket-propelled grenade launchers and large amounts of ammunition, according to SANA.

The Observatory and the Local Coordination Committees, another activist network, said troops stormed the Damascus neighborhood of Barzeh with armored personnel carriers, killing at least one person. Elsewhere in Syria, the LCC and the Observatory reported intense shelling in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour that killed at least five people.

Assad has promised reforms and named a new government last week, but it is headed by a key loyalist and the foreign, defense and interior ministers kept their jobs.

Syria's new Cabinet was sworn in front of Assad on Tuesday, Syrian TV reported. The new government is headed by Riad Farid Hijab, a former agriculture minister and a member of the ruling Baath Party.

The opposition, which boycotted the parliamentary elections in May, accuses Assad of trying to buy time and strengthen his power even as international condemnation over the regime crackdown grows.

As Syria veers toward civil war, fears are mounting that the violence could ignite regional unrest. Syrian activists say that more than 14,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in March 2011.

In Brussels, NATO's governing body met Tuesday and discussed the shooting down of a Turkish military plane by Syria last week.

The head of the NATO military alliance called the downing of the jet unacceptable after Turkey briefed NATO's North Atlantic Council on the incident. The talks were held under Article 4 of NATO's founding treaty, which allows a NATO member to request consultations if its security has been threatened.

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance condemned the Syrian attack "in the strongest terms" and expressed solidarity with Turkey but did not speak of any possible armed action against Syria.

"It's my clear expectation that the situation won't continue to escalate," Fogh Rasmussen told reporters after Tuesday's meeting. "What we have seen is a completely unacceptable act and I would expect Syria to take all necessary steps to avoid such events in the future."

Syria says the aircraft violated its airspace. But Turkey disagrees. According to Turkish officials, the plane had unintentionally strayed into Syrian airspace, but it was inside international airspace when it was brought down.

The jet's two missing crew members have not been found.

Turkey said Tuesday its military will respond to any future violation of its border by Syrian military elements. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Turkish Armed Forces "will respond to all violations on the Syrian border."

He said Syrian helicopters have violated Turkish airspace five times recently, without Turkish response.

Also Tuesday, Syria's state-run news agency said Syrian troops killed 10 "terrorists" in the Damascus suburb of Douma Monday night. The Syrian government refers to rebels as terrorists.

The Home Education Curriculum Instructing Your Youngster At Home

Home education is most well-liked by some parents. Some mother and father want to guantee that their baby is getting all of the education needed regardless that he is staying and studying at home as a substitute of studying contained in the classroom. They believe that they can control the curriculum better. Furthermore, they want to impart their own values which are vital in molding a child. They?re additionally focused on educating deeper topics that they imagine are vital to his learning. There is also a perception that they can decelerate when the kid is having difficulty and spend extra time on these subjects. In this way, the child has a better likelihood of studying the tougher lessons.

You may be there to information your youngster in some matters and issues that could be simply misinterpreted when explained at school by academics or other classmates. By way of social interactions, dwelling schooling has developed good benefits. Considerate parents nowadays have thought-about dwelling schooling as an answer to their kid?s learning needs. The variety of youngsters learning at house is continually increasing. However other than the benefits, there are additionally drawbacks.

Let us first focus on the benefits that one can get from house schooling. At the start is control, the management on what to study, what to teach and what to encourage in your kid?s mind. Some dad and mom say that some schools, personal or public, have a scarcity of enter and control that a dad or mum has over his or her kid?s educational needs. Some mother and father assume that they?ll present a better normal and quality of schooling by way of dwelling schooling. They can teach their kids on the subjects and areas which they feel are appropriate for their youngsters to learn. These parents really feel there is a lack of high quality schooling in school and that there are lots of components that could be the cause of this. These elements could possibly be the curriculum, the teaching employees, in addition to the instructing methods.

Moreover, they?re afraid that their little one is exposed to a variety of youngsters his personal age but with completely different backgrounds and upbringings. They are afraid that classmates may influence their youngsters have mother and father who don?t hold the identical values. As well as, residence education is less expensive than enrolling your kids in non-public colleges which require high tuition fees. Every year tuition fees get increased and these bills will solely increase. For these causes, some families choose home education fairly than enrolling in personal schools. They consider that residence schooling creates more bonding interactions between the mother and father and their children. With this, the kid might never really feel uncared for and deserted in any way.

Some drawbacks to house education is that some youngsters can find it quite isolating, so you will need to embrace some type of socializing in your child. Be it after faculty golf equipment or sports. Additionally, as a dad or mum you?ll have to be disciplined to ensure your baby receives the training they deserve and do not fall behind in any of the curriculum subjects. There shall be exams to sit down and papers to mark, which have to be submitted for review. If performed in a thorough and arranged vogue, residence education may be helpful for each mother or father and child.

Like humans, dolphins have brainy genes

Evolution-wise, bottlenose dolphins have left their mammalian brothers in the dust, and new research is showing what genes they changed to do it. These genes include those involved in brain and metabolism.

These changes could be why dolphins are known to be exceptionally smart, able to use tools, recognize themselves and even communicate with each other and with trainers.

"We are interested in what makes a big brain from a molecular perspective," study researcher Michael McGowen, of Wayne State University School of Medicine in Michigan, told LiveSCience. "We decided to look at genes in the dolphin genome to see if there are similarities in the genes that have changed on the dolphin lineage and those that have changed on the primate lineage."

   1. Scientists to reveal Stephen Hawking's 'brain hack'

      Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: After months of tweaking, researchers are finally ready to show off a high-tech headband that can translate Stephen Hawking's brain waves into speech.

   2. Seven summer books for smarties
   3. Work unearths ancient road in Greece
   4. Missing link for wonky-eyed flatfish found

The researchers compared about 10,000 genes from the bottlenose dolphin with nine other animals. (These included the cow, horse, dog, mouse, human, elephant, opossum, platypus and chicken ? cows being the dolphin's closest relatives with a sequenced genome.)

By studying its mutations, they pinpointed which genes were "evolving" or what scientists call "being selected for" ? genes that underwent changes and were passed on to future generations of dolphins ? by comparing them to the analogous genes from the other species. If a dolphin gene has more protein-changing mutations than the cow version, for instance, that means it was actively evolving in the dolphin population at some time. [ Animal Code: Our Favorite Genomes ]

Brain changes
More than 200 of the genes in their survey were drastically changed in the dolphins. Twenty-seven of these were involved in the nervous system (like the brain and sensory organs ). There were also many changes in the genes related to metabolism (similar to changes seen in primates), which McGowen said are important because, "brain tissue uses much more energy than other tissues."

While we know these genes are associated with the brain, and this study says the genes are different in smarter animals, the researchers caution against linking them directly. Differences in the gene's "code" doesn't mean the gene actually acts any differently in the animal.

"We may not know exactly what they do yet even in humans or mice (the two most well-characterized mammals from a genetic perspective), much less dolphins; however, their function in the brain points to their importance," McGowen said. "Probably, changes in these genes could have led to the amazing cognitive capacity seen in dolphins ? it definitely points in that direction."

Set apart
Unexpectedly, the researchers also saw that the dolphins were evolving more slowly than some of the other animals, a trait also seen in other mammals with big brains.

"Over time (since the split between dolphins and cows about 70 million years ago), we observe many more mutations or changes in the DNA along the cow branch (and indeed horse and dog branches) than we do along the dolphin branch," McGowen told LiveScience in an email. "This is exactly what we see in primates and elephants."

This is probably because these animals are using a different life-history approach ? investing more in their offspring, but having fewer babies ? which leads to slower evolution.

"It is striking that we see such similar molecular rates between all of these lineages and they have all such comparative large brains," McGowen said of the dolphins and primates.

The research is detailed in the June 27 issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

Poll: Supreme Court ruling on Arizona immigration may alienate Latino voters

Sixty percent of Latino voters polled in five battleground states said a Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Arizona immigration law would contribute to a hostile environment for immigrants and Latinos.

By Linda Feldmann,?Staff writer / June 25, 2012

Mark Jenkins (L), an opponent of Arizona Senate Bill 1070 and Blake Sutherland, a supporter of the bill, discuss their opposite viewpoints outside the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington in this April 25 file photo.

If the US Supreme Court upholds Arizona?s tough anti-illegal-immigration law this week, a majority of Latino voters in five battleground states believe the ruling will contribute to an ?anti-immigrant, anti-Hispanic environment? in the United States, according to a new poll.

And that, in turn, could benefit Democrats, who are perceived as better than Republicans at reaching out to Latinos, according to the Latino Decisions polling group.

The Obama administration sued Arizona over its 2010 immigration law, known as SB 1070, which requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop for other reasons. Critics say the law could result in racial profiling, even though the law bans the practice. The high court could issue its ruling Monday.

Latino Decisions polled Latino voters in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, and Virginia ? all of which have significant Latino populations and, with the exception of Republican-leaning Arizona, are seen as swing states in the November presidential race. In the poll, 60 percent said a ruling in favor of the Arizona law would contribute to a hostile environment for immigrants and Latinos, while 28 percent said upholding the law would have no effect.

?Even though the Arizona law claims to only target undocumented immigrants, the survey results show that a clear majority of US citizen Latinos who are registered to vote are also concerned about the implications of the law being upheld,? according to the report by Latino Decisions/America's Voice. ?

In all the states except Florida, a majority of Latino voters said they personally know someone who is undocumented, including 11 percent who said someone in their family is undocumented. Florida?s Latino population is dominated by people of Cuban descent, who do not face the immigration status issues of those from Mexico and other Latin American countries.

In Arizona, 65 percent of Latino voters said a Supreme Court decision upholding its anti-illegal-immigration law would create a more hostile environment toward Latinos and immigrants in their state. In neighboring Nevada, the percent holding that view was just as high. In Virginia and Florida, it was 58 percent, and in Colorado, 56 percent.

In Nevada, 74 percent of Latino voters said they know an undocumented immigrant, and 41 percent said they know someone who has faced immigration proceedings ? the highest percentages of the five states. ?

The poll was taken between June 12 and 21 and interviewed 400 voters in each state. In results from the poll released last Thursday, the survey found that President Obama leads Mitt Romney 63 percent to 27 percent in the five states. But just as important for Mr. Obama, 60 percent of the respondents now describe themselves as ?very enthusiastic? about voting in November, an increase from earlier this year. That growth in enthusiasm followed Obama?s decision to stop deporting some young undocumented immigrants.

Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II 6TB

Although casual users and data-hungry prosumers alike will agree that anything beyond two or three terabytes is unnecessary, such large capacities are practically indispensible for businesses whose very existence is staked on data-intensive applications. The Western Digital My Book Studio Edition II 6TB ($499 direct) comfortably fits in this rarefied territory. Equally worth considering is its versatility, as it supports FireWire (400 and 800), USB 2.0, and eSATA interfaces. Our current Editors' Choice for desktop-class hard drives, the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk (4TB) (Price, 4 stars), which, despite its smaller capacity, has a more versatile GoFlex adapter, but if capacity is your paramount consideration, it's worth considering.

Design and Features
Measuring 6.54 by 3.87 by 6.06 inches (HWD), the My Passport Studio Edition II is fairly sizeable?understandable, given that it's comprised of two 3TB drives beneath its matte-finish silver plastic chassis. Moreover, it's not nearly as bulky as others in its class, especially when one considers the unapologetically Herculean dimensions of the IoSafe Solo G3 (1TB) ($299 direct, 4.5 stars). The elegant plastic chassis is elegantly unadorned, save for the soft white glow emitted by an LED activity light in the front and the reflective silver WD logos embossed on the left and right sides. Air vents sporting dot- and dash-shaped cutouts run along three sides to keep things cool while providing a nice visual contrast to the subdued exterior. A quartet of I/O interfaces can be found on the rear of the drive, consisting of a micro USB 2.0 port, a pair of daisy-chainable FireWire800 ports (also compatible with FireWire 400) and an eSATA port. Unlike the comparably-sized LaCie 2big Thunderbolt Series (6 TB) ($749 list, 4 stars), the My Passport Studio Edition II does not support Thunderbolt. And unlike the CRU-DataPort RTX100-3SJ's (3TB) ($399 list, 3.5 stars), the My Passport Studio Edition II does not support USB 3.0.

The My Passport Studio Edition II comes formatted to HFS+ for use on Mac OS X systems right out of the box, but can easily be reformatted to either FAT32 or NTFS. Although its compatibility with both systems is a plus that sets it apart from the Mac-only LaCie 2big Thunderbolt Series, it must reformatted, whereas the FreeAgent GoFlex Desk can simply be swapped between systems without this added procedure. Like its predecessor, the My Book Studio Edition II (2TB) ($429.99 list, 4.5 stars), the My Passport Studio Edition II allows for reconfiguration of the RAID array from the pre-set RAID 0 array (striping, 6 TB) to RAID 1 (mirroring, 3 TB x 2) through the included WD Drive Manager software.

Though the $500 price tag attached to the My Passport Studio Edition II seems expensive at first blush, it ultimately breaks down to 8 cents per GB, making it considerably cheaper than similar drives in its class. Even taken as a whole, it's nonetheless significantly more affordable than the equally sized Lacie 2big Thunderbolt Series.

Performance
The My Passport Studio Edition II operated at a brisk pace using each of its three interfaces, but its nimble eSATA performance stole the show. Using this interface, the My Passport Studio Edition II transferred our standard 1.22GB test folder in a scant 12 seconds, the same amount of time as the LaCie 2big Thunderbolt Series using a Thunderbolt connection, and quicker than the Seagate GoFlex Desk's performance with USB 3.0 (15 seconds). And while the My Passport Studio Edition II still fell 2 seconds short of the CRU-DataPort RTX100-3SJ's impressive eSATA transfer rate of 10 seconds, its eSATA speed nonetheless edged past the CRU-DataPort's USB 3.0 transfer speed (14 seconds).

Even if you don't plan on utilizing an eSATA connection, the My Passport Studio still held its own against the competition. With a Mac, it transferred our test folder in an impressive 19 seconds (via FireWire 800) and 42 seconds (USB 2.0). It yielded somewhat slower results using Windows 7, clocking in at 24 seconds (FireWire 800) and 48 seconds (USB 2.0), putting it slightly behind both the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk and the Iomega Mac Companion (3TB) ($369.99 list, 3.5 stars), both of which transferred our test folder in 42 seconds under USB 2.0. Regardless of which operating system is used, the Iomega Mac Companion's FireWire 800 speed (30 seconds) was nonetheless handily outpaced by the My Passport Studio II, both in Windows and Mac environments.

Although the My Passport Studio II's PCMark 05 hard drive test scores were fairly high, particularly with eSATA (5,396), but also with USB 2.0 (3,051) and FireWire 800 (4,493), it was ultimately trounced by the CRU-DataPort TRX100-3SJ's scores of 9,023 (USB 3.0) and 8,269 (eSATA).

Ultimately, the Western Digital My Passport Studio II (6TB) has plenty of noteworthy attributes. In addition to 6TB of storage, its configurable RAID scheme and trifecta of connectivity options make for a rather flexible external desktop-class hard drive. Still, it's not nearly as versatile nor future-proofed as the Editors' Choice Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk (4TB), which sports a GoFlex adapter and can be easily swapped between Mac and Windows operating systems without the reformatting. If capacity is your main consideration, however, then your choice ultimately boils down to the LaCie 2big Thunderbolt Series (6TB) or the My Passport Studio II. If this is the case, stick with the My Passport Studio II, because, despite its minor shortcomings, its combination of capacity and performance make it a fine choice.

Why the Penn State sex abuse saga could go on for years (+video)

The FBI is investigating whether Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky broke federal law in sexually abusing boys. The university faces civil suits seeking compensation for Sandusky's victims.

By Mark Guarino,?Staff writer / June 23, 2012

Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky (L), his defense attorney Joe Amendola and wife Dottie (R) look on in this courtroom sketch as the verdict is read during Sandusky's child sex abuse trial in Bellefonte, PA June 22, 2012. A jury found Sandusky guilty on 45 of 48 child sex abuse charges.

The trial and guilty verdict of former Penn State defensive coach Jerry Sandusky took exactly two weeks, but the saga is nowhere close to an end.

Not only do his attorneys plan to mount an appeal, but Mr. Sandusky, the university, and top school administrators also face additional legal battles that are expected to stretch on for years.

A jury in Bellefonte, Pa. deliberated for 21 hours over two days before delivering a verdict late Friday, finding Sandusky guilty on 45 of the 48 counts against him involving sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period. He will likely face a sentence of life in prison.

Legal experts say the overwhelming number of accusers and evidence, ranging from love letters Sandusky penned to an eyewitness testimony to the abuse, were too much of a hurdle for the defense to overcome. They helped establish a narrative that Sandusky was a predatory pedophile who used a charity he founded to help at-risk children to groom victims, and the high-powered athletic culture he existed in helped enable the abuse over years.

Sandusky did not testify; instead surrogates vouched for his character and questioned the motives of the prosecution witnesses. The rare times the public heard his side of the story were two media interviews he gave shortly following his November 2011 arrest in which he gave meandering answers to questions related to his relationship with children.

Daniel Filler, a law professor at Drexel University in Philadelphia and a former public defender in Pennsylvania, says ?the only hope Sandusky had was to testify? but the media appearance doomed that opportunity.

?For better or for worse, Jerry Sandusky gave an audition about what it would be like on the stand when he talked in the press and his lawyers looked at the audition and didn?t like what they saw,? Mr. Filler says. ?If he couldn?t even answer the simplest, most straightforward questions with a clear denial, I don?t think you could have coached him.?

What happens next is an appeal by his attorneys who say they plan to push ?substantial constitutional questions? related to what they describe as anecdotal evidence used to arrive at the verdict.

?All the convictions could come back on that ruling alone,? said Karl Rominger, one of Sandusky?s attorneys.

Possible federal charges are looming against Sandusky. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a probe looking into some of the abuse allegations since they may have involved travel to other states.

During the trial, Sandusky?s attorneys warned that some of the accusers were elaborating their stories with the aim of earning money from future civil litigation. Filler says future plaintiffs will not likely be seeking money against Sandusky himself, but against Penn State and individual officials who are alleged to have been slow to stop the abuse once it became evident it was happening, sometimes even on university property.

?The money is with the university and the insurance policies that are carried by the university as a corporate entity,? says Filler.

Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, a former vice president in charge of the campus police, both face charges of perjury and failure to report child abuse. Their trial is expected next year. Both men say they are innocent.

Another target is former university president Graham Spanier who resigned soon after Sandusky?s arrest. All three men were the focus of a grand jury report that criticized their failure to report accusations from former assistant football coach Mike McQueary, who said he saw Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the locker room shower of the university?s athletic department in 2001.

The university said it hopes to settle as many cases as possible. In a statement released Friday, the university said it plans to establish a process where it ?can privately, expeditiously and fairly address the victims? concerns and compensate them for claims? and that it will ?reach out to counsel to the victims of Mr. Sandusky?s abuse in the near future with additional details.?

Penn State?s Board of Trustees has also hired former FBI Director Louis Freeh to investigate the university?s handing of the Sandusky accusations. So far, Mr. Freeh has conducted over 400 interviews. In late May, Mr. Spanier sued the university to obtain emails he sent and received between 1998 and 2004 that he says he needs to prepare for interviews related to the investigation. The university denied the request under the direction of the Pennsylvania Attorney General?s Office, which is conducting its own investigation.

Besides the bombshell allegations expected to result from the Freeh report ? much of which is expected to steer all future civil challenges ? the Penn State community is expected to continue its struggle to recover from the scandal that began seven months ago.

Many critics point to its prestigious athletics program that elevated Sandusky to the status of ?a Teflon Don? and allowed him to operate in broad daylight, says Chuck Williams, director of the Center for the Prevention of School-Aged Violence in Philadelphia.

?He was observed taking showers with boys, wrestling with them, for years. Students saw it, coaches saw it, and administrators did nothing because he was such an iconic figure,? Mr. Williams says. ?That community has a lot of soul searching to do about why they allowed it to persist for so long without doing anything.?

A team of researchers from Peking University in Beijing, China, and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, has demonstrated that carbon nanotube-based integrated circuits can work under a supply voltage much lower than that used in conventional silicon integrated circuits. Low supply voltage circuits produce less heat, which is a key limiting factor for increased circuit density. Carbon-based electronics have attracted attention mostly because of their speed. The new research shows that carbon nanotube integrated circuits could also offer the promise of extending Moore's Law by allowing even more transistors to fit onto a single chip without overheating. The results are reported in a paper accepted for publication in the American Institute of Physics' journal Applied Physics Letters.

(AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta)

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Roger Clemens rejected a plea deal that would have spared him prison time, and instead took his chances by going to trial.

Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin said in a telephone interview Thursday that prosecutors offered to let the former pitcher plead guilty to one count of lying to Congress when he denied using human growth hormone. In exchange, Clemens would have received probation.

The seven-time Cy Young Award winner was indicted in August 2010 on six counts for allegedly lying to Congress for denying he used HGH as well as steroids. At the time, Hardin revealed that his client had rejected a plea offer, but the lawyer declined to provide the details.

In the interview Thursday, Hardin said his client was offered the deal in December 2009 and immediately rejected it.

"His reason was, 'I didn't lie to Congress,'" Hardin said. On Monday, a jury in Washington acquitted Clemens on all counts.

Under U.S. sentencing guidelines, Clemens probably would have faced up to 15 months to 21 months in prison if convicted.

The first attempt to try Clemens last year ended in a mistrial when prosecutors played a snippet of video evidence that had previously been ruled inadmissible, and U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton indicated back then that Clemens was looking at jail time.

Explaining why he was calling a mistrial, Walton said, "Because if this man got convicted, from my perspective, knowing how I sentence, he goes to jail. And I'm not going to, under the circumstances, when this has happened, put this man's liberty in jeopardy."

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia declined comment.

Discovery increases understanding how bacteria spread

ScienceDaily (June 20, 2012) ? A Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry researcher is moving closer to understanding how infectious bacteria spread.

In a study published in the high-impact Cell Press journal called Structure, Joel Weiner and his collaborators, Gerd Prehna and Natalie Stynadka at the University of British Columbia, share new knowledge about how bacteria release proteins.

Proteins are complex molecules that perform all sorts of functions in the cells of living things. The group studied a specific protein called YebF in E. coli bacteria. It is widely found in other bacteria as well.

Solving the structure and understanding the mechanism by which this protein spreads bacterial pathogens was a big step forward. As humans develop more resistance to antibiotics, researchers are in search of new ways to stop bacteria from spreading.

"Most pathogenic bacteria induce special structures in order to release proteins that allow them to infect a host," said Weiner of the Department of Biochemistry, whose lab is funded by the Natural Sciences & Engineering Research Council and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. "What we show here is that normal, run-of-the-mill bacteria can actually release a protein through the pores [of the bacterial membrane] which are normally there to take in small molecules."

YebF proved to be an interesting protein molecule because in addition to its release through the bacterial pore, which is the most recent discovery, it has the unique property of secreting "passenger proteins" that are attached to it. This unique property was a prior discovery patented by the U of A because it has potential use for the production of protein-based drugs by the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

"What we found in the structure is that there are regions that are very flexible in YebF that seem to be very important in getting it out of the bacteria," said Weiner. "If you make mutants in those regions you can prevent the protein from going out.

"We're not investing enough in identifying new targets for antibiotics," he said. "What this system does suggests a new target. We're looking at drugs that could block the ability of YebF to go out.

"That's really easy to test for," he added. Because the screen is easy, it's good for pharmaceutical companies."

This step in the research took several years, because solving the structure of this protein wasn't easy. The lab typically uses crystallization but stubborn YebF wouldn't work, so instead they had to use nuclear magnetic resonance.

Typically researchers know what action takes place and they try to find the protein that triggers it. In this case the researchers have been working the opposite direction. They have the protein, YebF, but they need to find out its purpose in the cell.
