Interface article at the Athens Biennale
Marianne Maeckelbergh's article "Horizontal democracy now: from alterglobalization to occupation", published in Interface 4(1), was included in the 2013 Athens Biennale's AGORA exhibition in a project by Eva Fotiadi and Nikos Doulos. Entitled "Event as process: cities in an ongoing state of emergency and the artists' stance", the project is an online engagement with "the city as a mediated portrait, artists' responses, and the pursuit of spatial justice".
Prize-winning Interface article
Congratulations to Peter Ullrich and Gina Wollinger, who won a German Surveillance Studies Network prize for their article in Interface 3/1, "A surveillance studies perspective on protest policing: the case of video surveillance of demonstrations in Germany".

Interface: the first five years (posted November 2013)
Interface: a journal for and about social movements is now into its sixth year and working on its eleventh issue (with two more years of discussion and planning before that!) Over this time we've brought together people researching and theorising movements to contribute to the production of knowledge that can help us learn from each other's struggles: across languages, continents and cultures, across movements and issues, across the academic / activist divide, and across political and intellectual traditions.
We've brought out issues on movement knowledge, on the relationship between civil society and social movements, on crisis and revolutionary transformations, on movements and alternative media, on repression, on feminism and women's movements, on the Arab Spring, on new struggles around work and on anticolonial and postcolonial movements. Alongside these themes, special sections have focussed on debating David Harvey, on international labour communication and on feminist strategies for change, with a forthcoming special section on the new European mobilizations. Each issue also includes many items on topics beyond these special themes. In all our first ten issues run to 4,041 pages and 238 pieces!
So far, we've published activist interviews, testimonies, editorials, articles, action notes, research notes, event analyses, key documents, debates, bibliographies, round tables, special contributions, book reviews and review essays by authors located in Angola, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Britain, Canada, Dubai, Ecuador, Egypt, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, the USA and Venezuela.
We have already published in Catalan, English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. Beyond these we can accept material in Afrikaans, Arabic, Catalan, Czech, Danish, English, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish and Zulu. We hope to expand to include more world languages in future. In the meantime, you can see where people are reading us from here.
Interface is indexed by the Directory of Open Access Journals, WorldCat and EBSCOhost.
A world still to win
We are still working on many fronts – developing the project in different regions of the world, expanding the range of languages used, extending the collective production of the journal, finding appropriate ways of linking the journal to movement needs and processes, ensuring the quality of what we publish and securing intellectual and academic recognition. We have done a lot in the past seven years, but there is a lot to do.
This new website is designed to be part of this process, keeping our orientation as an open-access (free) space for dialogue and involving a wider community of movement practitioners and activist scholars as authors, referees for articles, book reviewers, issue editors, translators, website editors, and other supporters. Participants with particular skills / interests are always welcome!
We hope you enjoy the journal, and that the material here is helpful to you in reflection on your own struggles, developing your activist practice, researching social movements constructively, debate within organisations and dialogue between movements. There is a world still to win.
The views expressed in any contributions to Interface: a journal for and about social movements are those of the authors and contributors, and do not necessarily represent those of Interface, the editors, the editorial collective, or the organizations to which the authors are affiliated. Interface is committed to the free exchange of ideas in the best tradition of intellectual and activist inquiry.

Mods why do you keep deleting my post on a legitimate site connectivity problem? And keep doing so without an explanation. This is a real issue that likely affects multiple people including folks who my be interested in the site and not even members yet. There is no reason that hotel IPs need to be banned, and as a result people get a page filled 100% with advertising.
I will keep asking until there is an answer or the connectivity issue is resolved. Ban me if you want.

I noticed that the TS3612 now has two fence indicators on the fence head, one for the right scale and the other for the left. The TS2424 only has one and my understanding is that it is designed for the right side scale. I like using the scale after it is calibrated because it saves so much time. But what do some of you out there with a TS2424 do when ripping from the left side? Do you make a mental adjustment for the kerf of the blade (aprox 1/8")? or do you use a different technique? It would be nice to have two indicators. Jake, any suggestions?
No announcement yet.

Ivan, I have no answer for you, but a question: What reason have you found for ripping with fence left of blade? I've been straining for an answer for years on that one.

For close in cuts, (less than 6 inches) I use a INCRA Precision Bend Rule. I just set it on the table like a tent and butt the 0" end up against the fence and measure to a right facing tooth. Works pretty well. If I had the 12" version of the bend rule I would use this technique for those cuts as well.
As far as ripping with the fence on the left side, I did that for a while because I couldn't get the blade parallel. The back of the blade was slightly farther to the right than the front.
Thanks to Dave I don't have to do that anymore because of his front trunnion adjustment tip. Three Cheers for Dave!
I never do anything left of the blade except set down the occasional tool or wood scrap and I was born left handed (although I'm not now).Kelly C. Hanna

Good question Dave. I don't normally try ripping on the left except I was recently doing some cuts in cramped quarters and it was more convenient to rip on the left to avoid moving things around in my workshop so my workpieces did not hit a number of objects or walls(I am remodeling my shop and there are lots of things all around my tablesaw).
But now I ask this question: why would Ridgid and other tablesaws allow left-side ripping unless there was some usefullness to it? (and now Ridgid does supply that left-side rip indicator)
I sometimes use the left side for ripping very thin pieces if I don't have a zero clearance insert in and just need to make a few cuts. Also when ripping bevels in pieces that I can't or don't want to flip over, planed on one side, or partially assembled, etc.

Atletico 'still interested in' Torres
It doesn't really get any better when you wake up on a Saturday morning to find headlines in the papers screaming Atletico Madrid are still interested in signing Fernando Torres this summer; essentially sonorous music to many a Chelsea fan's ears.
The former Los Rojiblancos captain who arrived Stamford Bridge from Anfield in a Premier League record £50m deal has consistently flopped with The Blues since his 2011 move and has been widely expected to find pastures anew following the arrival of Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid, same club where he is still seen as a cult hero.
Spanish paper, AS says the Spanish champions are still interested and are exploring all avenues to take the 30-year-old who is statistically our worst striker since the turn of the century, if not worst in our history, back to the Vicente Calderón Stadium after having been told in no uncertain terms that Andre Schürrle isn't an option - a move most Chelsea fans will be hoping happens so we can finally get the all vital second striker as proper competition or cover for Diego Costa (who may eventually not be as lucky to escape the sort of horror legbreak tackle Bruno Alves made on him last night), and Didier Drogba.
For me, it's make the deal happen already, amigos!
How about you? Still hoping Torres will one day boil your potatoes?

Seminar: Utilisation of manure and other residues as fertilisers
Time and place
The Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists has arranged a seminar concerning the utilisation of manure and other residues as fertilisers.
Animal manure and municipal waste such as residues from food production, organic household waste and sewage sludge, constitute an important resource of plant nutrients in crop production. However, there are some challenges regarding how to predict the fertiliser value of these and how to manage them to maximise nutrient efficiency in the field and minimise environmental impact.
Research in a wide variety of issues concerning manure handling and use as agricultural fertilizers was the main focus of the seminar held in Falköbing, Sweden, during 29-30th of November 2011.Solid manure derivates (biochar, ashes, compost) for fertilizers were part of many presentations at the seminar. Still, however, some restrictions are found in the EU legislation on the use of manure in commercially marketed mineral fertilizer products so legislative adaptations may be needed to realize the potentials. A couple of relevant highlights can be found here, and the complete seminar report can be found soon and studied in details here The seminar was attended by 62 participants from 9 countries and organized by NJF Nordic Association of Agricultural Scientists.

Awaken is about teaching and nurturing –
not out of books – but out of our lives.
"In Need" can mean all kinds of things. It can mean your parents have thrown you out of the house to live on the streets. It could mean you don't have parents at all. It could mean addictive behaviors. It often means abuse – emotional, physical & sexual. It could mean foster care or pre-foster care. It could mean you've lost your home & family to tragedy in another country. It could mean you just don't have anywhere else to turn.
To us the words "in need" mean something a little different. To us those words are a call to reach into these girls' lives and extend – in a genuine way – a hand to demonstrate unconditional love.
We started doing something that had been in our hearts since Taylor's Closet was first born. We asked a handful of girls if they would like to "do family" with us. For a period of time, we would commit ourselves to teaching and nurturing – not out of books – but out of our lives.
We teach, we learn. We get to see deeper into their lives as they see deeper into ours. We get to call out the hidden dreams in each of them. And then we move to activate them. That's why we call it Awaken.

Harvick pass results in win at Kentucky

Harvick pass results in win at Kentucky
By Chris Knight, NASCAR Wire Service
Distributed by The Sports Xchange
Kevin Harvick's pass of Kyle Busch on the final restart of the night gave Harvick of JR Motorsports the win Friday night in the John R. Elliott HERO Campaign 300 Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky.
Harvick should thank Brad Keselowski for the trophy after Keselowski was foiled late in the race by of a speeding penalty on Lap 148, which put him behind and opened the door for a shoot-out between two former Nationwide Series champions.
"All in all, it was a very strange night," said Harvick. "In the beginning our car wasn't that bad. We needed some adjustments, had some things happen on some pit stops, so we pitted and put four tires on and everything kind of fell our way. We were able to get a little bit of a tire advantage there at the end, and Ernie (Cope, crew chief) made a really good adjustment to the race car that allowed us to really take off and run the best we had all night."
Winning his third pole of the season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series just an hour before race time, Keselowski led the 40-car starting field to the green flag and quickly walked away from Kyle Busch, who was on the outside of the front row.
While the top 10 shuffled near the rear of the deck, Keselowski continued to stretch his lead by Lap 20, and 10 laps later, the Team Penske driver extended his lead to 2.6 seconds.
Thirteen laps later the caution flag fell for the first time of the night for debris on the backstretch. Under the yellow, the lead pack elected to come to pit road for tires, fuel and adjustments. Quick work by Richard Childress Racing surged Paul Menard from third to first, leading Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Harvick off pit road. Kyle Busch entered second, but lost several positions after overshooting his pit stall.
Menard was able to hold the lead on the initial restart, but Keselowski throttled forward a lap later and reassumed control on Lap 48.
Twelve laps later, Keselowski had grown his lead to 1.7 seconds over Menard. He remained in control until Lap 83 when the caution flew for debris in Turn 4. Under the yellow, Shane Sieg turned Jeremy Clements in Turn 1, and emotions boiled over, apparently stemming from some alleged light contact exiting Turn 4 the lap before.
Meanwhile, the leaders pitted with teams utilizing varying strategies. A two-tire stop for Elliott Sadler and Regan Smith moved them ahead of Keselowski, Road America winner Brendan Gaughan and Kyle Busch as they came off pit road.
Sadler would be overtaken by Smith on the restart, but his time at the front was short-lived as he would prove to be no match for a thundering Keselowski, who reclaimed first on Lap 90.
The Rochester Hills, Mich., native would continue to lead through the halfway point, until Kenseth crashed on Lap 102, bringing out the event's third caution. A majority of the leaders decided to stay out under the yellow.
On the restart, Keselowski, the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, continued his race dominance, and by Lap 135 was able to maneuver a 1.9-second gap.
Green flag pit stops began on Lap 138 with Keselowski bringing his No. 22 Ford Mustang to pit road on Lap 148. But after a solid stop, the Team Penske pilot would be tagged with a speeding ticket and have to serve a pass-thru penalty.
Meanwhile, Harvick took the lead when Keselowski pitted on Lap 149 with a 3.1-second margin over Gaughan, until the caution waived on Lap 156 for debris.
Needing to make a pit stop, the leaders came to pit road with Harvick leading the parade off pit road. Kyle Busch, Menard and Ryan Blaney remained on the racetrack, holding the top three spots. Harvick found himself fourth for the impending restart.
With 39 Laps to go, Busch led the Nationwide train back to the green flag, and Busch held a steady lead ahead of Harvick. But Keselowski, who took a waive-around under the prior yellow flag, had roared from 17th to ninth in just five green flag laps and set his sights forward.
Keselowski needed a caution to close the gap and that came on Lap 168 when Ryan Reed and Regan Smith made contact on the backstretch, which sent Smith's No. 7 into the wall.
When racing resumed, Harvick attempted to take the lead from Busch, with Keselowski lurking from behind in fifth, but Dakoda Armstrong wrecked on the backstretch on Lap 176, which stacked the field back together.
With 21 laps to go, racing resumed with intense side-by-side racing between Busch and Harvick, with Menard, Gaughan and Keselowski stalking from behind. With 16 laps to go, Busch cleared Harvick and built a small cushion.
A late-race caution on Lap 192 for an incident involving Trevor Bayne and Chase Elliott bunched the field back together for a five-lap shootout.
On the restart, Harvick used the low line to pass Busch for the lead, with Keselowski moving into second and setting his sights on the No. 5 Chevrolet of Harvick.

The product of PRIMA1 functions to organize acetylcholinesterase (AChE) into tetramers, and to anchor AChE at neural cell membranes. Additionally we are shipping PRIMA1 Proteins (3) and and many more products for this protein.
Silencing of CD24 (show CD24 ELISA Kits) enhanced restoration of PRIMA-1-induced mutant p53 (show TP53 ELISA Kits) in endogenous TP53 (show TP53 ELISA Kits)(P223L/V274F) DU145 cells.
The results suggest that aberrant methylation of rDNA and PRIMA1 is associated with the pathogenesis of Borderline Personality Disorder.
Hypermethylation of the selected markers (MAL, PRIMA1, PTGDR (show PTGDR ELISA Kits) and SFRP1 (show SFRP1 ELISA Kits)) can result in reduced gene expression and may contribute to the formation of colorectal cancer.
The autophagic potential of PRIMA-1 could be modulated in a different way by the presence of wild type or mutant p53 (show TP53 ELISA Kits).
By using site-directed mutagenesis, the asparagine-43 was identified to be the N-linked glycosylation site of PRiMA. Abolishing glycosylation on mouse PRiMA appeared not to affect its assembly with AChE(T).
A strong association of AChE with PRiMA at the plasma membrane is therefore a feature specific to principal cholinergic neurons that innervate the central nervous system.
PRiMA in neurons has a role in targeting acetylcholinesterase (show AChE ELISA Kits) to membrane rafts
PRiMA-Luc promotor-driven luciferase activity was increased during cell differentiation
These results suggested that a MAP kinase (show MAPK1 ELISA Kits) signaling pathway served as one of the transcriptional regulators in controlling PRiMA gene expression during the neuronal differentiation process.
It interacts with PS1 (show PSEN1 ELISA Kits) and undergoes proteolytic processing.
Elevated expression of muscarinic receptors is responsible for physiological adaptation of PRiMA-deficient developing mice.
the relative content of AChE, BuChE and PRiMA mRNAs were compared in normal and Lama2dy muscle and sciatic nerve
Data show that along the nerve terminus the vast majority of acetylcholinesterase (show AChE ELISA Kits) is anchored by collagen Q that is only produced by the muscle, whereas very minor amounts of AChE are anchored by PRiMA that is produced by motoneurons.
PRiMA expression is predominantly to the cholinergic system and that anchoring of cholinesterases to cell membranes by PRiMA represents a limiting factor for production of the AChE tailed splice variant (AChET)-PRiMA complex.
A peptidic motif of PRiMA1 is defined which is nearly as efficient as the complete extracellular domain of PRiMA for recruitment of acetylcholinesterase (show AChE ELISA Kits) subunits into secreted heteromeric complexes.
expression of PRiMA, as well as PRiMA-associated G(4) AChE, in muscle is suppressed by muscle regulatory factors, muscular activity, and nerve-derived trophic factors
Acetylcholinesterase (show AChE ELISA Kits) associates differently with its anchoring proteins ColQ and PRiMA
PRIMA-1MET targets mouse tumors carrying mutant p53 (show TP53 ELISA Kits)
Proline-rich membrane anchor protein (show CELSR3 ELISA Kits) is necessary to target and/or to stabilize nascent acetylcholinesterase (show AChE ELISA Kits) in neurons.
The product of this gene functions to organize acetylcholinesterase (AChE) into tetramers, and to anchor AChE at neural cell membranes.

text: Miloh dropped off a Tripp-lite UPS (200 lbs, be careful) which is charging underneath the EE bench closest to the server closet. I plugged my computer into its USB port and was able to read the battery state. I didn't do a load test. The APC UPSes all say they want 24A peak and have L5-30 connectors. Even if we change the plugs, we can't plug them into the 20A circuits. If the Tripp-lite works out and no one objects, I'm going to move the APCs to the FSF GCC compile farm since they need it for some of their weirder embedded hardware that doesn't come up right after a reset. I also enabled state tracking in pf on both routers to make it easy to see who's torrenting and hosing the link: # pfctl -s Sources 172.30.1.3 ( states 1, connections 1, rate 0.0/0s ) 172.30.1.8 ( states 3, connections 3, rate 0.0/0s ) 172.30.1.10 ( states 1, connections 1, rate 0.0/0s ) 172.30.1.30 ( states 1, connections 0, rate 0.0/0s ) ... etc The torrenting nodes are the ones with high connection rates in the rightmost field. Because pf doesn't have a DLM to enable updating distributed counters, source tracking is per router and not shared across the pfsync link. It's still pretty easy to look at both routers at the same time, just add this to your .ssh/config: Host * ControlMaster auto ControlPath /home/whatever/.sshcontrolsockets/%r@%h:%p Then do a ssh -fN root at 172.30.0.1 & ssh -fN root at 172.30.0.2 to set up persistent SSH tunnels to be reused by future SSH sessions. Then do ssh root at 172.30.0.1 pfctl -s Sources & ssh root at 172.30.0.2 pfctl -s Sources to generate the source tracking report from both routers. You can use nmblookup -A, avahi-browse -tar, OUI lookups, etc to find out more about the computer with the IP address causing the problem. Between throttling back tor on pony and getting someone to stop torrenting at the space, the link characteristics of the sonic.net line have improved significantly: http://status.noisebridge.net/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi?displaymode=n;start=2010-09-15%2005:42;end=now;target=2169-Mission

The Mediterranean Diet Influence of Hydroxytyrosol
The health benefits of the Mediterranean Diet have been proven by research. There is a lower mortality rate from heart disease and cancer in countries around the Mediterranean region when compared to Northern European and Western Countries. One of the major ingredients found in the Mediterranean Diet(Med Diet) is the Olive, and Olive Oil.
The medicinal value of the Olive fruit and leaf (Olea Europaea) has been recognized for centuries by those living in this region. Specific interest has been given to the polyphenols of the Olive plant and oil. A polyphenol that has been given special attention is Hydroxytyrosol, a potent anti-oxidant with strong anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
Reduce Chronic Disease Risks: Health Conscious to Health Practice
Medical and Health Care Professionals can provide support to patients and clients for many health conditions. Many risk factors for disease such as heart disease, strokes, cancer and metabolic disorders are reduced with nutritional support and supplements.
As a practicing Physical Therapist the majority of my client base are musculoskeletal injuries related to overuse and degenerative joint diseases. The underlying cause of many of these diagnosed diseases and syndromes can be directed to inflammation, poor circulation, oxidative stress and the processes of aging.
Patient education is an important component of patient care and health outcomes. How we, as health care providers, can influence patient health has a positive impact on preventing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer.
Healthy Self-care practices make a strong impact at reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
These practices may include, though are not limited to:
- Proper diet and nutritional practices
- Supplements to support dietary needs
- Stress management
- Exercise and an active lifestyle
The Health Benefits of Olea25-Hydroxytyrosol
The benefits of Hydroxytyrosol, an extract of Olive Oil and Leaf has been reported to have therapeutic influences:
- Anti-oxidative potency
- Anti-inflammation
- Neuroprotective activities
- Metabolic disorders
- Anti-Cancer
These benefits of hydroxytyrosol promote healthy heart, nervous system, metabolic and cellular function through anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory behaviors.
Promotes Heart Health
Protects LDL from Oxidation
Oxidation of LDL plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis.
Olive oil polyphenols may have anti-oxidant protective properties not only by the free-radical scavenging but also for the modulation of gene expression such the CD40 ligation and its downstream products in human beings.
Inhibits Platelet Aggregation
Another process involved in the development of atherosclerotic lessions is platelet aggregation, which is the previous step in thrombus formation.
Hydroxytyrosol can be considered anti-thrombotic, since it significantly reduces platelet aggregation.
Strong Anti-Oxidant Capacity of Hydroxytyrosol
Hydroxytyrosol has the highest anti-oxidant potency of olive polyphenols. It is an effective scavenger of several free radicals.
Protects Against All 5 Common Free Radicals
Olea25® Hydroxytyrosol has antioxidative properties that include:
- Increased Glutathione levels
- Skin damage related to UVB exposure
- Low Density Lipoprotein(LDL) oxidation
- Prevents passive smoking-induced oxidative stress
- Protects against oxidative DNA damage
Protects Progresses of Diseases like AIDS and Cancer
Regarding the cancer chemo-preventive activities, it has been shown that HOTYR(Hydroxytyrosol) is able to inhibit both initiation and promotion/progression phases of carcinogenesis by preventing the DNA damage induced by different genotoxic molecules and by inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis in different tumors cell lines, respectively (73, 74).
Hydroxytyrosol prevents oxidative DNA damage in the three breast cell lines, protecting against oxidative DNA damage in mammary cells.
Anti-Inflammatory Benefits of Hydroxytyrosol
Subjects with Osteoarthritis(OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) reported decreased pain and improvement in activities of daily living. Statistically significant decrease in serum homocysteine. With high levels of homocysteine patients with RA have associated higher level of mortality from cardiovascular events.
In addition, subjects with RA had a statistically significant decrease in serum homocysteine. High homocysteine levels in patients with RA have been associated with higher rates of mortality from cardiovascular events.
Hydroxytyrosol effects formation and maintenance of bone, and is an effective remedy in the treatment of osteoporosis symptoms.
Parkinson's Disease
Neuroprotective Activity of Hyroxytyrosol
Hydroxytyrosol inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in an in vitro model of neuroinflammation. In contrast oleuropein, the principal phenolic in olive leaf, was significantly less effective at inhibiting cytokine production. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory activity of hydroxytyrosol may impact neuroinflammation in Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases.
AgroFOOD industry hi-tech – March/April 2012 – vol 23 n 2
Chronic Inflammatory Processes
Anti-inflammatory benefits of Hydroxytyrosol on Nitric Oxide and chemokine production point to their impact on chronic inflammatory processes in endothelium or arthritis.
Protection Against Diabetes and Metabolic Disorder
Protective actions of insulin sensitivity related to diabetes and glucose regulation.
Glucose Regulation and Insulin Sensitivity with Olive Leaf Polyphenols
The effects of OL and HT on insulin action have recently been demonstrated by De Bock et al. in overweight middle-aged men: administration of a diet supplemented with olive leaf polyphenols (51.1 mg OL, 9.7 mg HT for day) determined both amelioration of insulin action and secretion, two aspects of glucose regulation. Such an effect was independent of fat distribution, dietary intakes and physical activity and was comparable to that seen with drugs used to treat diabetes.
Olive (Olea europaea L.) leaf polyphenols improve insulin sensitivity in middle-aged overweight men: a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover trial. PLoS One.2013;8(3):e57622.
Mediterranean-style diet effective in reducing the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome
Consumption of a Mediterranean-style diet by patients with the metabolic syndrome was associated with improvement of endothelial function and a significant reduction of markers of systemic vascular inflammation

Public Health Law Research Annual Meeting: Q&A with Scott Burris
Jan 15, 2013, 5:30 AM
Scott Burris, JD, is the director of Public Health Law Research, a program at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation at Temple University. Ahead of PHLR's annual meeting in New Orleans this week, NewPublicHealth spoke with Burris about the meeting and the impact of legal research on the public's health.
NewPublicHealth: What's most exciting for you about the upcoming conference?
Scott Burris: We're very excited that we sold out again. We're going to be standing-room only. That's great enthusiasm. We all want to see the results of research in the field and so I'm looking forward to those sessions on Thursday when people present their work. And I'm really looking forward to what's signified by the great interest in attendance beyond our grantee pool, and that is the momentum that's now behind law as a tool for intervention in public health. And I think, even more than that, the real momentum is behind using research as the key way to figure out which laws you want to use [to impact public health] and which you don't. The fight now about the gun issue has been coming back to that theme again and again. It's not just that there's an appetite for reasonable, effective regulation of firearms—it's that it's often hard to know what that would be because of two decades of efforts to suppress data and suppress research. People are saying we've got to have good research to help us come up with common ground.
NPH: How much do you think the gun issue will be a factor in discussions both in presentations and in audience conversation when you meet this week?
Scott Burris: I actually think it won't leap out as a primary, explicit focus of discussion because it represents the same issue we talk about again and again that says that we have health threats, health problems that can effectively be addressed by law, but we have to have enough political space for innovation, for people to try things on a small scale. We have to have support for evaluation so we can figure out whether those innovations are effective. And then we have to go through a cycle of continuing to look at the refinements of the interventions and figuring out which parts of them work best. We've seen that happen in a lot of the public health law research area around driving. We've seen it happen, to some degree, in the smoking area. Really, every area we have people working in that same dynamic is relevant, and so I think that the gun example is just an instance of this broader theme that law is making a huge difference in public health. But law also often requires politics, law requires lawmaking, and to get laws passed requires consensus, and consensus requires a common view of reality. We all don't have to agree on everything and there are definitely important values that can differ and then make a difference to public health politics, but it really helps to know that we can save lives or prevent injuries if we do X, Y and Z. It's surprising how often people come to that point; you can have enough consensuses to get law passed.
NPH: The Public Health Law Research program is a few years old now. What changes do you see in some of the research worked on and published?
Scott Burris: I think what's happening is we're breaking down silos. So you could look across the different topic areas that people were working in, and there were very different degrees of scientific specification, very different degrees of data availability and appreciation of how important it was to have data available about population outcomes relative to the law. And what's happening when you start talking about public health law research, injury research, HIV research or obesity research, is that researchers start to look at people who they had not recognized are their peers and colleagues before, and you start to have a greater sharing of methods and perspectives.
NPH: Looking at the very important topics at the annual meeting, injury prevention comes up quite a bit. I was wondering if you're seeing that increase as a topic for grants you're giving and proposals people are making and why that's important.
Scott Burris: As injury prevention becomes more important to the public and policymakers, it actually becomes more important to us. And injury prevention is particularly well suited to legal intervention because very often we know the very end of the story. For example, somebody was having an overdose on opioids and they didn't have the antidote available. So you can talk about how the law should make that antidote more available. It's something that in the realm where people understand the case you're making, they see the harm you're preventing. It's the world in which people are most comfortable with public health legal intervention.
By contrast, if you're talking about working on improving health by changing where we live, learn, work and play, you're asking people to take in a lot more, a lot longer causal chain and to get behind and get excited about changes in law that don't have that kind of immediate payout. So we're always going to see lawmakers look at injury and ask "what can we do about this?" And they'll often come up with some pretty effective immediate things to close off that pathway, the harm.
That said, the big killers in the United States continue to be associated with the chronic diseases—cancers and lifestyle diseases, diabetes and so on. So those also require legal solutions, and I think it's really important for the Public Health Law Research Program to continue to support the harder tasks of, say, evaluating whether a soda tax or a new school food policy is ultimately having an impact down the road on childhood diabetes or early adult diabetes. So the bigger task is harder, but it's just as important.
NPH: The plenary and keynote speakers are Thomas Farley, health commissioner of New York City, and Pamela Hyde, administrator of the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, who I think everyone in public health would like to be hearing from now. What questions do you have for them?
Scott Burris: There's one question I would ask both of them, which is what do they need from research? What do they see as the most important questions they need answered as they look ahead to the work that they want to do? And then I'd ask kind of a health systems and services research question. Tom Farley runs probably the most dynamic, best respected local public health agency in the country. For me, it's the one that's a source of constant innovation. So, what does he think local health departments really need now? What should we be campaigning for and how should we be supporting them, helping them to thrive as instruments of coordination of health change in the community? For Pam, I'd ask the same question, but formulate it in a slightly different way as a federal employee. I'd ask what it takes for an agency like yours—or FDA or CDC—in the next few years to be really effective.
Editor's Note: NewPublicHealth will be speaking with Commissioner Farley and Administrator Hyde this week and will pose Scott Burris' important questions.
NPH: "Critical Opportunities," a sort of "speed presenting" on legal issues, gives researchers five minutes to present a legal issue they think merits attention and got its debut at last year's PHLR annual meeting. Concepts introduced so far include the legal issues surrounding laws on beverages that may pose health risks and requiring adults to get whooping cough vaccines. You'll have a Critical Opportunities session again on the last day of the conference. What results have you seen from the concept?
Scott Burris: What we've had so far is a lot of great ideas exchanged and a lot of really fun meetings, and I think we'll have that again. People really like the critical opportunities event, and the big test now is whether we can start to push the ideas in different venues. That's going to be the challenge for next year. This year we've had a great time requesting ideas, and that's been part of a broader process of really showing appreciation that's out there for law as an effective tool.
We're going to see that public health legal interventions are more than the sum of their individual parts and individual topic area. They are all about the idea that we don't have to just sit by and let bad things happen because there's nothing we can do about it. I think there's a certain amount of doom and gloom because you hear we have no money or you hear government doesn't work, but there are so many cases in which, without spending a lot of money, government has worked. And, in fact, people are happy with it. You just don't hear people saying, gee, I hate the seatbelt law. They buy seatbelts, they understand it, and, in fact, if they thought about it, it would be "I'm glad they passed it because I probably wouldn't have started it without a prod, but now I've gotten the prod and now its second nature, I don't mind." I think that's true of a lot of the laws. You're just really helping people move to a different place, so they're going to be just as comfortable once they get there—and a lot safer.

The MX1 and MX2 qualifying races, as well as race one of the UEM EMX125, took place today in Fermo under a blue sky and with more than 20 degrees. Gautier Paulin and Tommy Searle dominated the MX1 and MX2 qualifying races respectively, while Tim Gajser obtained a comfortable victory in the UEM EMX125.
The MX1 qualifying race was disputed between Gautier Paulin and Christophe Pourcel, who exchanged the lead during the whole heat, but it was the first one who obtained the final victory. Third was Ken De Dycker and Bobryshev and Sebastien Pourcel completed the top five. Clement Desalle and Antonio Cairoli made several mistakes during the qualifying race and they finished eighth and thirteenth respectively.
Steven Frossard took part in the qualifying race but he crashed and had to stop in the pitlane because he could not stand the pain. Tomorrow he will try to take part in the warm-up, but his presence in the main races is still uncertain. Tommy Searle commanded the MX2 qualifying race almost since the beginning, and his teammate Joel Roelants succeeded in being second, followed by red plate holder Jeffrey Herlings.
Kawasaki Racing Team's Paulin won the MX1 qualifying race in Fermo, but he had to fight hard with his compatriot Christophe Pourcel to be the first one to cross the finish line. Both riders exchanged the lead in several occasions and they fought for the victory until the end.
Christophe Pourcel started from the fifth position, but he quickly moved up to second and gave chase to the leader Paulin. His lap times were better than Paulin's, so he moved up to the first position and he pulled away. However, Paulin caught Pourcel in the last minutes of the qualifying race, and the CP377 Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit rider had to settle down with the second position.
Once again Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's De Dycker made a solid moto and he rode third from beginning to end. The Belgian is obtaining really good results since he is riding for KTM and yesterday Claudio De Carli announced that De Dycker will stay in the MX1 team until the end of the season.
Honda World Motocross' Bobryshev finished fourth in today's qualifying heat, which is a sign that his thumb injury is much better. The Russian will have a good starting position tomorrow, so he might be able to start fighting for the top three places if the pain lets him fight during the 40 minutes and two laps of both heats.
Sebastien Pourcel did a very consistent moto, maintaining the initial fifth position until the end. The CP377 Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit rider is feeling better and better every Grand Prix and a proof of that is his top five result in today's qualifying race.
Home rider Philippaerts finished sixth and Boog was seventh.
Desalle did a really good start and he rode second during the first two laps. However, the Belgian made a mistake, went out the track and he dropped down to the fourteenth position. In the end, Desalle crossed the finish line eighth.
Cairoli admitted that he has made the worst qualifying race so far, after making two mistakes during the moto and being only able to finish thirteenth. However, Cairoli is feeling good and he hopes to be on the podium tomorrow in front of his crowd.
MX1 Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Gautier Paulin (FRA, Kawasaki), 25:09.523; ; 2. Christophe Pourcel (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:01.559; 3. Ken de Dycker (BEL, KTM), +0:33.611; 4. Evgeny Bobryshev (RUS, Honda), +0:38.930; 5. Sebastien Pourcel (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:44.173; 6. David Philippaerts (ITA, Yamaha), +0:48.327; 7. Xavier Boog (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:52.711; 8. Clement Desalle (BEL, Suzuki), +0:57.856; 9. Cedric Soubeyras (FRA, Honda), +1:01.781; 10. Shaun Simpson (GBR, Yamaha), +1:02.912;
Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit's Searle started from an initial third position and he quickly moved up to second taking advantage of Van Horebeek's mistake. Searle's lap times were much better than the ones of Nichols, who was leading the race, so the Kawasaki rider took the lead easily and commanded the qualifying heat until the end.
His teammate Roelants did not have a really good start and had to fight hard from the eighth position to finish second. This result gives the Team Floride Monster Energy Kawasaki Pro Circuit rider another good chance to pick a good starting gate tomorrow to fight once more for the podium finish or even for the overall victory.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Herlings finished third in the qualifying heat, but he had to fight really hard from an initial thirteenth position. Herlings proved that he has the speed to do well tomorrow, so if he has a good start, he might be able to obtain the overall victory.
Van Horebeek did one of the best starts of the season so far and he crossed the first corner in the third position, he then moved up to second, but he made a mistake and he went down to the sixth place. The Red Bull KTM Factory rider did not give up and he managed to cross the finish line fourth.
Nestaan JM Racing KTM's Nicholls took the holeshot one more time, but he was not able to keep the lead more than three laps. Nicholls was overtaken by his compatriot Searle during the third lap and later one it was Roelants, Herlings and finally Van Horebeek who managed to overtake the Nestaan JM Racing KTM rider, who finished fifth.
Charlier obtained a solid sixth position on his debut in the 2012 season after his foot injury and Leib and Lupino followed the French rider. Ferrandis finished ninth and Tonkov completed the top ten.
Teillet was back on the bike for the qualifying race after his crash in Sevlievo, but he could not finish the heat, so his presence tomorrow in the main races is still uncertain.
MX2 Qualifying Race top ten: 1. Tommy Searle (GBR, Kawasaki), 25:35.454; 2. Joel Roelants (BEL, Kawasaki), +0:02.076; 3. Jeffrey Herlings (NED, KTM), +0:03.107; 4. Jeremy van Horebeek (BEL, KTM), +0:25.916; 5. Jake Nicholls (GBR, KTM), +0:28.877; 6. Christophe Charlier (FRA, Yamaha), +0:36.322; 7. Michael Leib (USA, Yamaha), +0:38.572; 8. Alessandro Lupino (ITA, Husqvarna), +0:43.055; 9. Dylan Ferrandis (FRA, Kawasaki), +0:44.703; 10. Alexander Tonkov (RUS, Honda), +0:49.181;
Tim Gajser dominated once again the first race of the second round of the UEM EMX125 championship with more than thirty seconds difference over the second classified Calvin Vlaanderen. Pauls Jonas finished third and Riccardo Righi and Magne Klingshelm completed the top five.
Home rider Bonini took a good start, but he made a mistake and went down to the eighteenth position. However, the Italian gave all his best in front of his home crowd and he managed to cross the finish line in the sixth position. Jorge Zaragoza, third in the point standings, crashed at the beginning of the free practice and broke his right arm.

"After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."
Have you ever wondered where this famous quotation originated from and how it came about?
Surprisingly, this came up during a the the Democratic National Convention address in 1988 by Ann Richards, the Texas State Treasurer of the time. Without going into politics and gender equality, this is perhaps one of the most quoted quotations that lady dancers love to quote.

Whispers Out of the Dust
David J. West
ebook $3.99, paperback $14.99
Take the Mormon settlement of the West, mix in some M. R. James and H. Russell Wakefield, throw in a healthy serving of H. P. Lovecraft and a dash of Robert E. Howard, stir in Native American lore, bake in the desert heat and wash down with a lake formed by a damn, and what you're likely to come up with something that resembles Whispers Out of the Dust.
David J. West has begun to build a body of work in the subgenre known as the weird western, and his most recent book is a solid addition to the field. It's also one of his most ambitious projects to date. (And I absolutely love that cover.)
St. Thomas, Nevada was settled by Mormon pioneers, but the area had been home to the Anasazi and other tribes long before. The Mormons, many of them anyway, moved away when they discovered they were in Nevada rather than Utah and Nevada wanted to collect several years of back taxes. Still, the town survived until the Hoover Dam was built, and the waters of Lake Mead covered it up.
That much is historical fact. What David does is add a dose of fantasy which he blends so smoothly that you find yourself believing things you know can't really be so. (At least you don't think so.) The footnotes (endnotes, really) certainly add to the feeling of verisimilitude. David includes a number of photos he's taken, which give you an idea of what the area looks like. Continue reading

Sex seems to be everywhere. In image, gesture, and word, allusions to sex permeate the culture and are used regularly to attract and distract, to scare and entertain, and to get and sell stuff. The sex chatter that constitutes much of the characteristic noisiness of American culture concerns mostly gossip, platitudes, and talk of other people's lives.
But do we talk to our partners candidly about sex, the real sex that we ourselves are having?
Not so much.
Our apparent difficulty with intimate sexual communication is not new. In fact, it was one of the findings that compelled pioneer sex researchers Masters and Johnson in the 60s to devise their "sensate focus" sex therapy technique, whereby intercourse is not allowed and couples are instructed to touch each other with the aim of discovering what feels good without the performance pressures that often dominate the sexual encounter.
Not much has changed in the last 50 years. British researchers Lester Coleman and Roger Ingham, studying a sample of adolescents in the late 90s, found that only about half even discussed contraception with their partners prior to first intercourse. Laura Widman and colleagues reported similar findings just last year in a study of 603 youths.
What We Don't Know. . . Is a Lot
Communicating openly about sex is difficult—not just for youngsters, and not just for couples at the start of a relationship. Couples married for decades can have trouble communicating openly and honestly about what they like and dislike in bed. Reviewing 30 years of studies on sexual communication several years ago, Canadian researcher E. Sandra Byers found that rates of sexual self-disclosure, even in committed long-term relationships, were surprisingly low.
When asked about the duration of foreplay and intercourse their partners prefer, people's estimates correlate closely with their own sexual stereotypes but have little to do with what their partners say they actually want. According to the research reviewed by Byers, the odds are that you don't actually know very much about what turns your partner on—and that you know even less about what turns them off. In Byers' research, rates of self-disclosure about sexual dislikes were particularly low. According to her data, the average adult knows only about a fourth of the things his or her partner finds sexually distasteful.
But why? Why is talking openly about our sexual likes and dislikes with our partners—be they spouses or one-night-stands—so difficult?
Reasons Not to Talk
Perhaps our problem is not discussing sex, per se, but confronting large existential topics in general. Talking about sex can be likened to talking about death—we all have sex and we all die, yet both issues are difficult to consider head on and rationally since we feel intimidated, unsure of our grasp. Still, it's easier to understand the reluctance to discuss death. After all, nobody wants to die. As Steve Jobs once said, even people who believe in heaven are in no hurry to get there. But most of us claim to want sex, and more of it, and sooner rather than later. So the reluctance to communicate about it remains puzzling.
Perhaps sex is difficult to talk about in part because at its core, sexual passion is socially subversive. Sex is an impulse strong and selfish enough to confound our social judgment and undercut our social loyalties. Since we are all by design social creatures dependent on our social ties for survival, anything that by its nature works to disturb the social order will be perceived as risky to share and expose. To us, society is God, and anything about us that undermines it must dwell in the shadows, lest we incur its wrath.
Thinking less loftily, on the person-to-person level, perhaps we worry about sexual communication because we intuit the vast range of individual differences that exist with regard to sexuality. We feel strongly about our own tastes, and we sense that others feel similarly about theirs—whatever they may be. We recognize that anything personal we say about sex has the potential to stir, scare, offend, and unsettle those who are closest to us. Perhaps worse still, we sense that saying the wrong thing about our own sexual tastes or assumptions has the potential to unmask us as foolish, ignorant, or depraved.
Indeed, communication about sex is rife with opportunities for embarrassment, rejection, and confusion. According to Coleman and Ingham (and others), fear of negative reaction to sexual discussion is an important suppressant of such discussions. Australian researcher Dana Lear found in the 1990s that peer culture was a strong predictor of sexual communication patterns among college students: I'll do it if everyone else is doing it; and since they don't, I won't either. It's more acceptable to be silent, or even to talk dirty, than it is to give instructions, share preferences, or reveal secret desires.
Perhaps sexual communication is also difficult because we grow up with the myth that it's unnecessary. Common sex-related lore holds that: great sex comes naturally; your partner should know intuitively what you want and like; and good sex must be spontaneous. In reality, more often than not, great sex, much like a great meal, does not just happen—it needs to be carried out with skill, thoughtfulness, and the right mix of selfish abandon and mutual attentiveness. People's tastes, preferences and values with regard to sex—as with food—differ greatly. You're better off knowing something about your partner's tastes before you start cooking.
Commonly accepted social "scripts" may also contribute to the lack of sexual communication. In particular, "sexual scripts," an idea introduced by John Gagnon and William Simon in the 70s, are action guidelines that help organize our commerce with the world in the sexual arena. Sexual scripts are heavily shaped by the culture and, once internalized, direct our perceptions, expectations, and behavior in sexual situations. In the U.S., males are expected by the common sexual script to "know what to do" while females are expected to be passive and sexually naïve; little wonder then that men don't ask and women don't tell. Doing so would violate the arousal scripts and hence constitute an automatic turn off.
What Talking Can Do for Your Sex Life
Whatever the reasons for it, our difficulty communicating frankly and clearly about sex is problematic because evidence abounds that good sexual communication is linked to many good things, not least among them safer and better sex.
Regarding contraception, the evidence is robust that sexual communication predicts greater sexual safety and the use of protection:
Research also points to a link between sexual communication and sexual satisfaction:
Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words?
One key finding in the sexual-communication literature is that when people do communicate about sex, they prefer a nonverbal approach. In a 2011 study of 63 young adults, Canadian researchers Sarah Vannier and Lucia O'Sullivan showed that most sexual initiations were nonverbal, and that responses tended to match the initiators' strategies, leading to a predominantly nonverbal dialogue at sexual initiation. This finding is aligned with literature from the 80s and 90s showing that indirect nonverbal initiation of sex was more common—and preferred—over direct, verbal initiation.
This hegemony of nonverbal communication in sex appears intuitive. We often resort to nonverbal signals in situations in which we're not comfortable with words, or when verbal communication is absent. Moreover, sex is at its core a physical activity, not a verbal one, so nonverbal gestures play on its home turf. Indeed, Elisabeth Babin found that nonverbal communication was more closely linked to satisfaction than verbal communication.
But a reliance on nonverbal communication may have a downside. A recent study by Kristen Jozkowski of the University of Arkansas found that using nonverbal cues to interpret consent might lead to miscommunication between males and females, which could contribute to instances of sexual coercion. According to Jozkowski's study, in communicating and interpreting consent, men tend to rely more on nonverbal cues and women on verbal ones. And yet nonverbal communication is not easy to interpret reliably even under the best of circumstances. The interpretive challenges are compounded in the sexual encounter, with its myriad crosscurrents, ambivalences, and anxieties.
In sum, we are bombarded daily with a lot of sex talk, which we consume quite happily despite the fact that much of it neither touches our personal lives nor benefits us. But when speaking candidly about sex would make our lives better, healthier, and happier, we too often fall silent.
As things now stand, a young adolescent finds it difficult or impossible to inquire about protection before first intercourse with his partner; a dating pair is afraid to confide in each other about their sexual wishes (or worries); and a long-married couple is destined to remain unaware of each other's deepest desires and dislikes.
Perhaps it's time we start talking about it.

On Sat., Feb. 1, brewers around the world, including at least two locally, are celebrating International Gruit Day. What is a Gruit, you say? Centuries ago, before German purity laws legislated that beer should be made only with water, barley, and hops, beers were brewed with dozens of herbs. These German Gruit or Grut (German for herb) Ales were spiced with plans such as juniper, heather, and yarrow. The beers are making a comeback among craft brewers today.
Cambridge Brewing Company in Kendall Square is tapping three gruit beers for the occasion: the award-winning Heather Ale, Weekapaug Gruit, and Hay is for Horses, a "Nordic pale ale " brewed with hay and heather honey.
Over in Chelsea, Mystic Brewery is pouring seven Gruits starting at noon. The beers include Eldergold, a pale beer brewed with edible flowers Elderflower, chamomile and calendula, and Radix, a light amber beer aged on sassafras root and cedar.
"Gruits have an awful name and are virtually unknown in the marketplace but when we put them on at the tasting room in Chelsea they fly out the door," says Mystic founder Bryan Greenhagen. "They are really interesting beers."
