Several low-lying island nations recently appealed to the UN Security Council to address the security implications of climate change as part of their agenda. Tony deBrum, representative of the Marshall Islands, expressed the need for greater political support for helping small island nations cope with existing threats such as coastal erosion, food and water shortages. Some like Russia and China do not consider the Council to be an appropriate channel for addressing climate change implications. However, climate change does raise future security concerns in terms of the economy, food security and migration as people migrating from the Marshal Islands to neighboring Australia and island countries. The Pakistani UN ambassador stressed the need for a precautionary approach in addressing this security implication, rather than ad-hoc measures. His view echoes the existing lack of political leadership needed to effectively address other environmental and social implications from climate change.
By Edith M. LedererHuffington Post
February 15, 2013
The Marshall Islands and other low-lying island nations appealed to the U.N. Security Council to recognize climate change as an international security threat that jeopardizes their very survival.
Tony deBrum, a minister and assistant to the Marshall Islands president, said Friday the island nations are facing opposition from Security Council permanent members Russia and China and a group of more than 130 mainly developing nations, which argue that the U.N.'s most powerful body is the wrong place to address climate change.
DeBrum told reporters after a closed Security Council meeting on the "Security Dimensions of Climate Change," organized by Britain and Pakistan, that he hopes more council members will be convinced that "this is a security issue and not just an economic-political-social issue."
The low-lying islands, which are already being inundated with sea water, want the council to bring its "political weight" to the issue and help their countries survive, for example, by harnessing new technologies and ensuring alternative energy supplies, he said.
DeBrum said it was "ironic, bizarre perhaps" that 35 years after he went before the Security Council to seek the independence of the Marshall Islands he was back again "to appeal for the survival of my country."
He said climate change has already taken a toll on the Marshall Islands. Wells have filled with salt water, making drinking water scarce and in turn affecting food production. One small island in a lagoon is now under water, and coastlines are being eroded.
The impact of climate change is also causing migration to other islands, as well as to Australia and the United States, he said.
In an interview Friday with The Associated Press, Rachel Kyte, the World Bank's vice-president for sustainable development, said that since the council's last discussion of climate change "the sense of immediacy and urgency has increased."
"The question is: Do you want to keep on cataloguing all of the terrible things that are going to happen if we continue on a business as usual track, or are we actually going to start doing anything about it?" she said
Kyte said she explained to the council on Friday that "it is possible to stop the worst from happening but it will require real, concerted policy action globally at every country level."
"Economically we know what to do, but politically it's going to take leadership," she said. "And every day we don't act we make the job more difficult for ourselves."
"What the Security Council has to do is understand that everything has to be seen through this lens. Climate change is changing the future scenarios for every country," Kyte said. "It's framing decisions on security, economic security, food security."
Germany's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Miguel Berger recalled that in July 2011, at his country's initiative, the Security Council discussed the security implications of climate change at a formal meeting and adopted a presidential statement expressing the council's concern about the possible adverse effects of climate change on international peace and security.
Berger told the council that Germany was happy to see the council taking up the issue again and stressed that all U.N. entities, including the Security Council, need to intensify their efforts to combat climate change and its security implications. He called for these implications to be included in Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's reports to the council on climate change.
"Let us not forget: Climate change and its security implications will shape tomorrow's world in a way that is almost impossible to overestimate," Wittig said. "We should also consider whether a U.N. special envoy on climate and security could help us to tackle the foreign and security policy implications of climate change."
Pakistan's U.N. Ambassador Masood Khan said the meeting would galvanize actions in all U.N. forums to combat climate change.
"Our response should not be anchored only in politics; it should also be guided by science and technology," Khan said. "Our response should not just counter immediate threats; it should forewarn and prepare us for the impending threats that impinge on our security."

Friday could be decision day in MLB drug investigation
Alex Rodriguez, Nelson Cruz, Bartolo Colon under drug cloud
Major League Baseball has told the union which players it intends to suspend in its drug investigation and which ones will receive lengthier penalties for their roles in the Biogenesis case, two people familiar with the talks told The Associated Press.
The sides are trying to reach as many agreements as possible that would avoid grievance hearings, and talks could push back an announcement until Friday.
The meeting between MLB and the union on Tuesday, first reported by the New York Daily News, signalled the final stretch of talks. MLB hopes to announce the penalties for all players involved at the same time, both people said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcements were authorized.
Three-time MVP Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees stands to receive the longest suspension. While 50 games is the standard for a first offence, the stiffer penalties for some players are tied to other alleged violations, including not being truthful to MLB investigators.
Three 2013 All-Stars could face bans: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. In a sign Peralta's suspension might be imminent, the Tigers acquired shortstop Jose Iglesias from Boston on Tuesday night as part of a three-way trade with the Chicago White Sox.
"The frank reality is that I do not know what is going to happen with Jhonny, but with this move, we now feel well protected if there is a long suspension," Tigers general manager David Dombrowski said.
Another 2013 All-Star, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon, was suspended last year following a positive testosterone test, as were Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal. They won't receive additional discipline for that violation, the two people said.
Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Seattle catcher Jesus Montero also have been linked in media reports to Biogenesis, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic that was accused by Miami New Times in January of distributing banned performing-enhancing drugs.
Melky Cabrera was the 2012 All-Star game MVP while with San Francisco and Colon won the 2005 AL Cy Young Award with the Los Angeles Angels.
Players can file grievances
Players who don't reach agreements can ask the players' association to file grievances, which would lead to hearings before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Discipline for first offenders under the drug agreement usually is not announced until after the penalty is upheld, but there is an exception when the conduct leading to the discipline already has been made public.
In addition, MLB may try to suspend Rodriguez under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would lead to the suspension starting before the appeal.
Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun was the first player to reach an agreement with MLB. The 2011 NL MVP accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension last week. Braun tested positive for elevated testosterone in October 2011 but a 50-game suspension was overturned the following February by an arbitrator who ruled Braun's urine sample was handled improperly.
Rodriguez faces the harshest penalty. The Yankees expected him to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLB's investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada.
"A-Rod was my teammate in New York. I'm glad he was my teammate," retired pitcher Roger Clemens said Tuesday in Boston, where he was at Fenway Park to mark the 25th anniversary of manager Joe Morgan's team that won the 1988 AL East title.
"I did things to make him feel comfortable. I did that for all of my teammates," Clemens said. "I think I was a pretty solid teammate."
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner was acquitted last year of federal charges he lied to Congress when he said he didn't take steroids or human growth hormone.
Clemens would not give his thoughts on MLB's Biogenesis investigation.
"I've got my own feelings on particular people in MLB, you know, how they approached my situation," he said. "I don't know about it, and I don't care about it, to tell you the truth."

Richard Ayoade
An adaption of Joe Dunthorne's 2008 novel, Richard Ayoade's debut feature film, Submarine, is a witty look at a young man's coming of age. Aside from the well-worn references to JD Salinger's Holden Caulfield and diarist Adrian Mole, it offers an honest but bleak glimpse into the mind of a group of teenagers struggling to come to terms with the reality of life.
Blending the adolescent angst of 15-year-old Welsh schoolboy Oliver Tate with harsher realities – his unrequited love for eczema-suffering pyromaniac Jordana Bevan, the inevitable conclusion of her mother's terminal illness and the uncomfortable truth of his parents' shaky marriage – Submarine lays bare what we all come to realise. Life just isn't what it's cracked up to be.
While the script is a little clichéd, the suitably moody soundtrack by Arctic Monkeys' frontman, Alex Turner, and the memorable performances from Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine, Noah Taylor and newcomer Craig Roberts as Oliver, take this film from the diary of a teenage fanatic to a wry and atypical take on British social realism.

Jobless claims drop as states make full reports
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits plummeted last week 31,000 to a seasonally adjusted 292,000. But the drop was mostly because of technical issues in two states that delayed the processing of applications.
The U.S. Labor Department said Thursday that the less volatile four-week average fell to 321,250, the lowest in six years.
A government spokesman says the steep drop occurred because two states upgraded their computer systems last week and did not process all their applications. "This is not necessarily an indication of a change in labor market conditions," he said.
The spokesman would not identify the states, but said one was small and one large. Big states like California and Texas can swing the weekly data by 10,000 or more.
Applications will likely rebound in the coming weeks, he said.
The broader trend in unemployment benefit applications has been favorable. Applications had dropped 7 percent in the previous three months. However, the decline in jobless claims has not been followed by rapid hiring.
"It's hard to believe that claims can keep declining indefinitely without a commensurate pickup in job growth," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. "Then again, that's exactly what they have done."
Applications are a proxy for layoffs. Layoffs have been falling since 2009 and in July reached the lowest level on records dating back to 2000, according to a separate government report released this week.
But unemployment remains painfully high at 7.3 percent more than four years after the Great Recession ended. And the economy grew at a modest 2.5 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter.
That's made the unemployment applications data less reliable for predicting job growth than in past recoveries.
Historically, falling applications have pointed to a pickup in hiring and stronger economic growth.
JPMorgan economists point to the October-December quarter in 2004, just three years after the 2001 recession ended. Unemployment applications were down to 329,000, in line with the current level reported over the past four weeks. Yet the unemployment rate was 5.4 percent and the economy grew at 3.4 percent annual rate.
Applications were also at 329,000 in the fourth quarter of 1994, three years after the 1991 recession ended. The unemployment rate was 5.6 percent then, and the economy grew at a 4.6 percent annual rate.
"The ongoing drop in ... claims has not shown its normal relationship to job growth," Greenhaus said.
Still, hiring has been steady this year. Employers added 169,000 jobs in August, although job growth in June and July were weaker than first estimated. The economy has added an average of 180,000 jobs a month this year.
About 4.3 million people received unemployment benefits in the week ended Aug. 24, the latest figures available. That's about 125,000 fewer than the previous week. A year ago, nearly 5.4 million people were receiving benefits.

What Are the Chances of Having an STD?
If people are sexually active and not using condoms, what is the possibility of them having a disease?
– Kamyra*
Unfortunately, it's quite likely. People who have sex without using condoms are at high risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
It doesn't matter how many people the person has had sex with. Even if someone has only had one sexual partner, that partner could have a disease. Of course, the chances of getting STDs (also called sexually transmitted infections, or STIs) are even higher if a person has unprotected sex with lots of different partners.
Many people who have STDs do not have obvious signs or symptoms. Because of this, they may believe they're "clean" and tell partners there's no need to use a condom. But that's not safe. For example, about 6 out of 10 young people with HIV don't know they're infected. So they risk passing the virus, which causes AIDS, on to others.
Even getting treatment isn't a completely foolproof way to stop STDs from spreading. Some STDs (like trichomoniasis) can be treated so they go away, but other infections (like herpes or HPV) can stay in a person's body, even if that person has been treated. Plus, if someone has been treated for an STD like chlamydia and it goes away, that same person can still get re-infected if exposed to the STD another time.
Anyone who is planning to have sex, or who has had sex, should be tested for STDs. And always use condoms for protection — every time.

HARRISBURG— The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) urge the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) to add members with expertise in sexual assault prevention and service provision, and those who represent sexual assault survivors to the task force it has appointed to oversee the creation of the $60 million endowment from the fine imposed on Penn State University.
"We appreciate the diligence the NCAA has demonstrated in appointing a task force to determine the guidelines, criteria and funding priorities as well as fiscal management of this endowment," said Delilah Rumburg, CEO of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR). "However, we are sorely disappointed that the task force membership lacks the voices of victims and survivors, those who serve them, and accomplished experts in sexual abuse prevention."
The task force membership is comprised of university leaders and academics from across the country, and representation from foundations who manage large endowments.
"Experts in sexual assault prevention can provide insight into the most effective programs and help evaluate proposals for the right ingredients," Karen Baker, Director of NSVRC. "Creating effective prevention programs, ones that actually change societal beliefs and personal attitudes and behaviors, require the knowledge of experts in the field."
The NCAA also announced that only 25 percent of the funds would be allocated for Pennsylvania organizations who meet the criteria to be set by the task force. Similar to views expressed by Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody, PCAR believes that the majority of the endowment disbursements should be allocated to
Pennsylvania-based sexual assault services, investigations and prevention programs.
"This endowment is being created by a fine imposed only on Penn State – not other universities. Pennsylvania-based dollars need to support Pennsylvania efforts to prevent, investigate and treat sexual abuse," Rumburg said.
The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape is the oldest state anti-sexual violence coalition in the U.S. The organization represents 50 sexual assault centers that serve the state's 67 counties. Each year these centers provide education and confidential services, at no charge, to more than 30,000 men, women and children affected by sexual abuse.
Founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape in 2000, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center identifies, develops and disseminates resources regarding all aspects of sexual violence prevention and intervention.

MasterCard Shows Off Its Vision of the Future of Mobile Commerce
MasterCard offered up a number of new additions intended to upgrade the shopping experience for consumers using MasterCard digital payments products at its Innovation Showcase yesterday in New York City.
After PayPal last week added new shopping features to its digital wallet, MasterCard added a new service called ShopThis! to its MasterPass wallet. The service, which MasterCard is offering with Intel and PhiSix Fashion Labs, offers online shoppers looking for fashion and clothing items a fully interactive 3D virtual fitting room through Intel's Virtual Shopping Experience, MasterCard said in a statement.
[See Related: PayPal's New App Adds New Payment Options and Shopping Features]
MasterCard also showed off its QkR payments application. The company is expanding the app to include improved shopping experiences at sports stadium and other venues, as well as for students at school.
At sports stadiums, the app will allow fans to order food from a stadium vendor and pay for it with their mobile device without leaving their seat. This capability is now in beta Testing with Legends Hospitality, MasterCard said.
And parents will be able to pre-order and pay for school lunches for their children through the app.
MasterCard also demonstrated how the QkR app can work with wearable devices at the showcase.
And the company also showed off Simplify Commerce, a service to help merchants quickly and easily accept electronic and mobile payments. The open source product offers API's and SDK's for developers and merchants to create new e-commerce and mobile payments applications, with the aim of spurring innovation around acceptance of new payments technologies, MasterCard said.

EEB 2245: Your grade will be based on your performance in 4 lecture exams and a 1-hour final exam (cumulative). Your lowest score on the 4 lecture exams will be dropped. Your 3 remaining scores and your score on the final exam will each constitute one quarter of your final grade. University regulations require that students who miss the final exam without an excuse from the Dean of Students receive an F for that exam. Thus, you are required to take the final exam.
Note: because you are allowed to drop your lowest score, we will not give make-up exams.
EEB 2245W: Your final grade in the lecture portion of the course will be calculated as above. If you are taking the W version of the course, that grade will constitute 75% of your final course grade.

nforma Pro is a comprehensive sans serif text family based on traditional lettering in contrast, proportion, rhythm and stroke. It strikes the visual balance between machine and man seldom reached by other, commonly used humanist faces. While some faces classified as such exhibit too much calligraphy (like Gill Sans, Syntax and Optima), and others tend to favor geometric principles in rhythm and proportion (like Agenda, Frutiger and Myriad), Informa Pro stays true to the humanist ideology by maintaining the proper equilibrium between the two influences that drive the genre, and keeping the humanistic traits where they make better visual sense. This balance makes it more well suited for pairing with old style and transitional faces than the majority of sans serifs out there. It is a comfortable, gentle read that meets the demands of both extended text composition and informative, inviting display typography.
Informa Pro's variety of styles and features set it among the best choices for corporate communication and global publishing or marketing campaigns. Its weights range from Light to Bold, with accompanying italics and condensed widths, adding up to twelve comprehensive Pro fonts. The extended character set covers all three European scripts (Latin, Cyrillic and Greek), including small caps across the board, seven sets of figures, and expert features including alternates and ligatures, totaling more than 900 characters per font.

When I was 13 years old, and supportive adults asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would enthusiastically blurt out, "I want to be an ecologist!"
More often than not, my answer was met with a blank expression. At that time, few people outside the discipline knew what ecology was. I quickly learned to not only tell people that I wanted to be an ecologist, but to immediately follow up with a definition.
Earth Day soon robbed me of my private knowledge. Almost instantly everybody knew — or thought they knew — what ecology was. It was picking up tin cans, right? Recycling, or marching to protest pollution, or joining an environmental organization to promote conservation.
Well, the science of ecology did then and still continues to inform those activities, and it suggests those social actions have benefits to the environment and to people. But the common perception of ecologists as tree-hugging activists leaves the public without an understanding of the depth and history of the science of ecology.
Ecology was invented as a science about 140 years ago, at a time when biology was focused on the individual organism. The physiology and anatomy of plants and animals and their classification were the hot sciences of the day.
A German physiologist, Ernst Haeckel, decided it would be a good idea to understand organisms in the context of their natural surroundings, rather than only as isolated subjects in the lab or on the dissecting tray. So he introduced the idea of a science of the relationship of organisms to their environment.
From the perspective of an individual plant or animal, the environment includes the soils, water, air, weather, nutrients and prey organisms.
It also means the other organisms with which the creature you are studying interacts — be they predators, competitors or cooperators. Each organism is nested within a complex web of interactions with its surroundings and the other creatures that live or pass through its area.
This idea served ecology well for a long time. But by the end of the 20th century, it was possible and necessary to define ecology more broadly.
Now, ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the processes that influence the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interactions among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and the physical world around them.
Which brings us to the ecosystem, one of the most central concepts in the science of ecology.
An ecosystem is an area in which the organisms and the physical features and conditions interact with one another.
These organisms include the large and obvious plants and animals that live in an area — the great charismatic mammals such as polar bears, or towering trees such as redwoods.
Humans are organisms. Ecology reminds us that it is not only the obvious or attractive creatures that are ultimately important to us.
Insects, spiders, fungi, ferns, bacteria and wildflowers are as much a part of the organismal complex as are the giant oak trees and grazing deer.
The important thing about an ecosystem is that there are interactions between its physical and the biological components.
Plants and microbes take up nutrients and deposit materials they cannot use. That creates new chemicals that may become nutrients for another group of organisms.
Some of these chemicals are lost from the ecosystem, and some are converted to forms very difficult for other organisms to use.
This last conversion is why some organic matter accumulates in the soil. Feedbacks between organisms and the environment in an ecosystem are key to understanding how ecosystems are maintained or change through time.
We think of ecosystems as being natural areas: Forests, deserts, rivers, salt marshes. But urban areas are also ecosystems, because they contain biological complexes, physical complexes and the associated physical environments.
Remembering that our cities and our neighborhoods are ecosystems helps remind us that important biological processes are going on our yards, streetscapes, parks and local streams.
Ecological processes are also influenced by what's going on in our curbside gutters, storm sewers, vacant lots and malls.
Every place we live or manage is an ecosystem, and our decisions and actions determine how well those ecosystems function.

Editorial Policies
Peer Review Process | Reviewer Guidelines | Prior Publication | Preprint Policy | ORCID | Data and Reproducibility | Authorship | Competing Interests, Funding and Ethics | Corrections and Retractions | Misconduct and Complaints | Privacy Statement
Peer Review Process
All submissions are initially assessed by an Editor, who decides whether or not the article is suitable for peer review. Submissions considered suitable for peer review are assigned to two or more subject experts, who assess the article for clarity, validity, and sound methodology. If suitable experts external to the journal cannot be found then members of the Editorial Board may be asked to complete a review task.
Authors may be invited to recommend or ask for the exclusion of specific individuals from the peer review process. The journal does not guarantee to use these suggestions. All reviewers must be independent from the submission and will be asked to declare all competing interests.
The journal operates an anonymous peer review process, meaning that the identities of the authors are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this process, authors should make every effort to ensure that the manuscript contains no clues to the authors' identity. Follow the specific guidelines under Manuscript Preparation.
The review period is expected to take around six to eight weeks, although this can vary depending on reviewer availability. Reviewers are asked to provide formative feedback, even if an article is not deemed suitable for publication in the journal.
Based on the reviewer reports the editor will make a recommendation for rejection, minor or major revisions, or acceptance. Overall editorial responsibility rests with the journal's Editor-in-Chief, who is supported by an expert, international Advisory Board.
Members of the editorial team/board are permitted to submit their own papers to the journal. In cases where an author is associated with the journal, they will be removed from all editorial tasks for that paper and another member of the team will be assigned responsibility for overseeing peer review. A competing interest must also be declared within the submission and any resulting publication.
Reviewer Guidelines
Reviewers are asked to provide comment on the below topics and guidelines:
- Content: Does the article fit within the scope of the journal? Is the submission original, relevant and rigorous? Is the author's depth of understanding of the issues researched adequate? Are the sources and references adequate? Has the existing knowledge base been explored and built upon? Are the chosen methodologies appropriate and have they and the evidential base been appropriately used? Does the conclusion reflect the argument in the main body text and bring something new to the debate?
- Structure and argument: Does the abstract summarize the arguments in a succinct and accurate way? Is the manuscript logically structured and do the arguments flow coherently? Is there enough reference to methodology in the introduction and are the arguments fully evidenced and substantiated? Does the introduction signpost the arguments in the logical way and does the conclusion adequately summarize them?
- Figures/tables: Does the author's use of tables, charts, figures or maps illustrate the arguments and support the evidential base? Is the quality of the formatting and presentation adequate?
- Formatting: Does the submitted file adhere to the general author guidelines listed for the journal? Are the citations and references formatted to house-style?
- Language: Is the text well written and jargon free? Please comment on the quality of English and need for grammatical improvement.
- Data availability: Has data used in the study been adequately described and made available? Is the data curated in a usable format? Is there a 'Data Availability' statement providing information on how to access the data?
Prior Publication
The journal is happy to accept submissions of papers that have been loaded onto preprint servers or personal websites, have been presented at conferences, or other informal communication channels. These formats will not be deemed prior publication. The journal accepts papers that have been published within formal conference proceedings, provided that the paper provides substantially more data, analysis and/or discussion than the original conference paper. If the paper was presented but not formally published, then more overlap is permitted. The accepted manuscript may also be uploaded to an open platform, under a CC BY licence. Authors must retain copyright to such postings.
Authors are encouraged to link any prior posting of their paper to the final published version within the journal if it is editorially accepted and published.
Preprint Policy
The journal allows authors to deposit draft versions of their paper into a suitable preprint server, on condition that the author agrees to the below:
- The author retains copyright to the preprint and developed works from it, and the author is permitted to submit to the journal.
- The author declares that a preprint is available within the cover letter presented during submission. This must include a link to the location of the preprint.
- The author acknowledges that having a preprint publicly available means that the journal cannot guarantee the anonymity of the author during the review process, even if they anonymize the submitted files (see peer review process).
- Should the submission be published, the authors are expected to update the information associated with the preprint version to show that a final version has been published in the journal, including the DOI linking directly to the publication.
The journal strongly recommends that all authors submitting a paper register an account with Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier (ORCID). Registration provides a unique and persistent digital identifier for the account that enables accurate attribution and improves the discoverability of published papers, ensuring that the correct author receives the correct credit for their work. As the ORCID remains the same throughout the lifetime of the account, changes of name, affiliation, or research area do not effect the discoverability of an author's past work and aid correspondence with colleagues.
The journal encourages all corresponding authors to include an ORCID within their submitting author data whilst co-authors are recommended to include one. ORCID numbers should be added to the author data upon submission and will be published alongside the submitted paper, should it be accepted.
Data and Reproducibility
Open Data
The journal strongly encourages authors to make all data associated with their submission openly available, according to the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Data should be cited and referenced within the manuscript and should be linked to from a Data Accessibility Statement, which must describe how the data underlying the findings of the article can be accessed and reused. If data is not being made available with the journal publication (e.g. legal constraints) then a statement from the author should be provided within the submission to explain why. Data obtained from other sources must be appropriately credited. All data should be curated in a format that allows easy understanding and analysis (e.g. sensible column headers, descriptions in a readme text file). This help will ensure its reuse potential.
Structured Methods
As the traditional Materials and Methods section often includes insufficient detail for readers to wholly assess the research process, the journal encourages authors to publish detailed descriptions of their structured methods in open, online platforms such as protocols.io. By providing a step-by-step description of the methods used in the study, the chance of reproducibility and usability increases, whilst also allowing authors to build on their own works and gain additional credit and citations.
Open Code
If research includes the use of software code, statistical analysis or algorithms then we also recommend that authors upload the code into Code Ocean, where it will be hosted on an open, cloud-based computational reproducibility platform, providing researchers and developers with an easy way to share, validate and discover code published in academic journals.
If you need more information on how to incorporate open data, protocols.io or Code Ocean into a submission, please contact the Editor-in-Chief.
All listed authors must qualify as such, in agreement with the ICMJE definitions. All authors must have given permission to be listed on the submitted paper.
Competing Interests, Funding and Ethics
To ensure transparency, all authors, reviewers and editors are required to declare any interests that could compromise, conflict or influence the validity of the publication. Competing interests guidelines can be viewed here.
In addition, authors are required to specify funding sources and detail requirements for ethical research in the submitted manuscript, ensuring that ethical approval and consent statements are detailed within the manuscript (see Author Guidelines).
Corrections and Retractions
For a variety of reasons, some published content may require correction after publication. Such reasons can range from small errors to more serious issues concerning ethics and copyright. The journal handles errors in accordance with guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), where applicable.
Corrections should be addressed in a timely and efficient way, and are the responsibility of authors and editors. To minimize corrections, all articles have their proofs checked prior to publication by the author and editor, which should ensure that content errors are not present. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief if an article needs correcting.
If an error is discovered in a published article then the Editor-in-Chief will assess whether a correction or retraction is required. For minor corrections, the journal will post a correction to the article on the article landing page as well as the article cover page with an explanation of the correction so that readers see the correction with the original work. The journal reserves the right to retract or remove any published works if the editor(s) or Editorial Board find any instances of scientific misconduct, plagiarism, or unethical behavior.
Misconduct and Complaints
Allegations of misconduct will be taken with utmost seriousness, regardless of whether those involved are internal or external to the journal, or whether the submission in question is pre- or post-publication. If an allegation of misconduct is made to the journal, guidelines from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) will be followed on how to address the nature of the problem. Should the matter involve allegations against a member of the journal or publishing team, an independent and objective individual(s) may be sought to lead the investigation. Where misconduct is proven or strongly suspected, the journal has an obligation to report the issue to the author's institution, who may conduct their own investigation. This applies to both research misconduct (e.g. completing research without ethical approval and consent, fabricating or falsifying data etc) and publication misconduct (e.g. manipulating the peer review process, plagiarism, etc.). Should an investigation conclude that misconduct or misinformation has occurred then the author, along with their institution will be notified. Should the publication record need to be corrected, the journal's correction policy will be followed.
Should an author wish to lodge a complaint against an editorial decision or the editorial process in general they should first approach the Editor-in-Chief of the journal, explaining their complaint and ask for a reasoned response. The journal will follow guidelines set out by COPE.
The journal does not tolerate abusive behavior or correspondence towards its staff, academic editors, authors or reviewers. Any person engaged with the journal resorting to abusive behavior or correspondence will have their contribution immediately withdrawn and future engagement with the journal will be at the discretion of the Editor and/or publisher.

By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Brad Keselowski chugged his cold Miller Lite, the beer splashing down the side of his face as NASCAR chairman Brian France watched with amusement as his newest ambassador celebrated the crowning moment of his career.
Dehydrated after 400 miles of racing at Homestead-Miami Speedway, it didn't take long for his sponsor's product to take effect. Keselowski beamed a mischievous grin, wiped away his foam mustache, and tried to figure out how to accept the Sprint Cup trophy from France without dropping his oversized beer glass.
He's fresh, he's fearless and he's certainly not your daddy's NASCAR champion.
What Keselowski might be is just the guy NASCAR needs to appeal to the younger crowd as it closes a season that will likely be remembered for a jet fuel explosion, Twitter, a garage-area fight. If the season-ending image that stays with the public is of a slightly drunk Keselowski being, well, Keselowski, that's OK.
After all, the racing itself was largely forgettable this season, a huge problem for NASCAR, and France reiterated last weekend that work is ongoing on the 2013 cars "to improve" the quality of racing.
So Keselowski's championship reign is critical for NASCAR. He's the face of the sport, the spokesman, the guy who will bang the drum for all things NASCAR over the next few months.
Keselowski proved he was different from the veteran drivers when he tweeted from inside his car during the season-opening Daytona 500, and his addiction to social media and his cellphone was a season-long theme. He's 28, tech savvy and unafraid to test his limits.
"I think because of that, he'll do great," said four-time champion Jeff Gordon, who helped broaden NASCAR's mainstream appeal when he emerged in the early '90s. "His ability to reach out through social media and the younger crowd, he's somebody that takes it, wants to take it, and because of that, he'll put a lot of effort into it. He's entertaining. You never know what you're going to get with Brad."
That's part of Keselowski's charm, and while he is indeed authentic, he very much enjoys being anti-establishment.
A year ago, Keselowski participated in the season-ending celebration in Las Vegas for the first time in his career. Although the awards banquet is the only actual black-tie affair, the week is packed with appearances, events, cocktail parties, receptions and one sponsor-heavy luncheon.
When he boarded the bus that took all 12 drivers to the luncheon, Keselowski was wearing an old pair of jeans and an untucked shirt. The other 11 drivers were all in suits. Someone on the bus offered suggested they stop on the way so Keselowski could pick up something else to wear.
Keselowski, who had announced a multiyear contract extension with Penske Racing just hours earlier, refused.
"I'm a race car driver!" he declared. "Why do I need to dress like that?"
Perhaps he had a point. But it wasn't a fight he was going to win driving for Roger Penske, and Keselowski was upgrading his wardrobe a few weeks later.
Keselowski has changed on the track, as well.
He was rough and raw in the Nationwide Series, and he didn't care who he wrecked when he was trying to get noticed. He wanted a job, wanted to survive in NASCAR and thought it was every man for himself. When he feuded with Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards, and they tried to explain etiquette, he didn't want to listen.
It was maddening to more experienced drivers, who quickly ran out of patience with Keselowski. Because he was in a developmental deal with Hendrick Motorsports, he got to drive a handful of races for them and sit in on some competition meetings with the big boys.
He was opinionated and outspoken, and the Hendrick group found him wildly entertaining.
"Brad, he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. He was very aggressive," Rick Hendrick said. "But he learned how to control that and how to race, and he did it in a hurry."
And it happened at Penske, where he was paired in the Nationwide Series with Paul Wolfe, who didn't want the job when first approached. He ultimately changed his mind, and the duo won the championship in their first year together.
Wolfe said he wasn't deterred by Keselowski's reputation, and looked only at the talent level and potential.
"I'm kind of the guy that takes it one day at a time, try to be better each and every day at what I do, and never really looked at it from the standpoint of 'I want to go win a championship with him,'" Wolfe said. "It was, 'I want to go win races and continue to grow as a team.' We've done that each and every week and every year."
While things were clicking in the Nationwide Series, Keselowski was struggling in Cup races. So Penske moved Wolfe up in 2011 to Cup, and Keselowski took off, winning three races to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
It set the pace for this season, the breakthrough year for Roger Penske's first Cup title 40 years after first entering NASCAR.
And it showed that Keselowski has come a very long way in three very short years.
He looks back now at how he behaved, both on and off the track, and understands that coming up with his family's low-budget race team helped mold him into who he is today, even if it gave him a narrow view of the world.
"I think I suffered from some serious confidence issues when I first came into Cup that were a result of mostly just not having the speed to be successful and trying to do too much," he said. "I was trying too hard to be the "I'' in team, and there is none. That's pretty obvious looking back now. But I didn't know that. I do now. It's not until you have a group around you that shows you that you don't have to do all the work, that you can share it, and that as long as you respect them, care about them and work with them, you can be successful. That's something I had to learn on my own.
"I never had anybody teach me that. Nobody ever taught me about teamwork. My family and my parents, my mom and dad, they taught me about work ethic, they taught me what it meant to be a part of a family that had each other's backs, but it's a lot different when you're not family."
But Keselowski is part of the family. The Penske Racing family, and the NASCAR family. He's the champion, and underneath his fancy new clothes is a hardworking blue-collar kid from the suburbs of Detroit who loves NASCAR and wants to do anything he can to promote the sport.
"It's not like the champion is Miss America who goes out to civic organizations and gives speeches or anything like that," said NASCAR analyst Kyle Petty, son of seven-time champion Richard Petty. "He grew up in Michigan. He grew up working on these cars. He's a blue-collar guy from a blue-collar family and when we go back to Dale Earnhardt Sr., David Pearson, 'The King' and to Darrell Waltrip and guys like that, they worked their way up through."

The cabal-install package provides the
cabal command-line tool which simplifies the process of managing Haskell software
by automating the fetching, configuration, compilation and installation of Haskell libraries and programs.
Those packages must be prepared using Cabal and should be present at Hackage.
Installing a package
Once you have the tool installed, installing other packages is easy. The first thing to do is to give the command:
cabal update
This will download the most recent list of packages; this must be done from time to time, to get the latest version of each package, when installing.
To install Cabal packages from Hackage use:
cabal install foo
Other common variations:
cabal install Package in the current directory cabal install foo Package from the hackage server cabal install foo-1.0 Specific version of a package cabal install 'foo < 2' Constrained package version cabal install foo bar baz Several packages at once cabal install foo --dry-run Show what would be installed
One thing to be especially aware of, is that the packages are installed locally by default, whereas the commands
runhaskell Setup configure runhaskell Setup build runhaskell Setup install
install globally by default. If you install a package globally, the local packages are ignored. The default for cabal-install can be modified by editing the configuration file.
Help about cabal-install can be obtained by giving commands like:
cabal --help cabal install --help
The cabal-install configuration file
You can edit the cabal configuration file to set defaults:
~/.cabal/config (for *nix based systems)
For Windows there are different locations for different versions of Windows (just to make things easy). To get the directory cabal actually uses, start GHCi and give the following commands:
:m System.Directory getAppUserDataDirectory "cabal"
Things to put in the config file
To turn on --global by default:
user-install: False
The root-cmd configuration parameter can be used to automatically run cabal-install with root privileges on *nix based systems, when needed:
root-cmd: sudo
If you have the Haskell Platform installed, you already have cabal-install; no further action is needed.
Get a pre-built
cabal.exe from:
You must put the
cabal.exe in a directory that is on your
%PATH%, for example
C:\Program Files\Haskell\bin.
Download the latest cabal-install tarball from:
It includes a shell script
bootstrap.sh that you can run to download and install the other dependencies.
Note this assumes you have the zlib C library and its header files installed. Those header files are usually in a native system package like
zlib-devel (On debian-based systems it is
zlib1g-dev). You should also have the Haskell packages
parsec and
network installed. If you installed GHC via your native system package manager then you may also need to use it to install these two packages. (On debian-based systems they are called
libghc6-parsec-dev and
tar -zxf cabal-install-0.6.2.tar.gz cd cabal-install-0.6.2 ./bootstrap.sh
If this completes successfully you will have the cabal binary in
~/.cabal/bin. You should either add this directory to your
$PATH or copy the cabal program to some location that is on your
$PATH, eg
to get the current list of package from hackage you should now run:
cabal update
By default the cabal tool will install programs in
~/.cabal/bin. If you decided not to put this directory on your
$PATH then you can get cabal to symlink binaries into another directory, eg
~/bin. To use this feature edit
~/.cabal/config and see the
symlink-bindir field. Note that the
~/.cabal/config file is not created until you run a cabal command for the first time, eg
cabal update.
Error reporting
Errors in cabal-install can be reported at the Hackage Wiki and Bug Tracker
I just installed packages, but now the packages are not found
This happens when you install a package globally, and the previous packages were installed locally. Note that cabal-install install locally by default and the "runhaskell Setup" commands install globally by default.
How can I uninstall packages?
There is no "cabal uninstall" command. You can only unregister packages with ghc-pkg:
ghc-pkg unregister

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Kids and teens who are born abroad and immigrate to the United States are about half as likely to have asthma and allergies as those who are born in the U.S., according to a new study.
Researchers surveyed the parents of 80,000 children in one of six languages and found that association held even after they took into account where families lived and how often they moved, as well as their race and income.
"This is definitely something we see clinically and we're trying to better understand, what is it in our environment that's increasing the risk of allergic disease?†said Dr. Ruchi Gupta, who studies allergies at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago but wasn't involved in the new research.
"Food allergies have increased tremendously,†she told Reuters Health. "We do see people who come from other countries don't tend to have it, but immigrants who are maybe second generation, they're identical (to U.S.-born people).â€
It's not obvious what explains that pattern, researchers said.
According to Gupta, two possible culprits are the so-called hygiene hypothesis – which suggests kids in the U.S. are too clean, and their immune systems never get exposed to common allergens – or the poor quality of American diets.
Lead researcher Dr. Jonathan Silverberg from Beth Israel Medical Center and St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York said climate, obesity and various infections might also be playing a role.
"The results of the study suggest that there are environmental factors in the U.S. that trigger allergic disease,†he told Reuters Health in an email.
"Children born outside the U.S. are likely not exposed to these factors early in life and are therefore less likely to develop allergic diseases.â€
Surveys were completed by parents of kids and teens in 2007 and 2008. Just over 20 percent of children born outside the U.S. had any type of allergic disease – including asthma, eczema, hay fever or food allergies – compared to between 34 and 35 percent of those born in the U.S.
What's more, the risk of allergies increased with the more time foreign-born children spent in the U.S., Silverberg and his colleagues wrote in JAMA Pediatrics.
For example, 27 percent of foreign-born kids who had immigrated more than a decade earlier had any type of allergy, according to their parents' reports, versus 17 to 18 percent of those who had moved to the U.S. within the past two years.
"You acclimate to wherever you are and you pick up whatever is going on there,†Gupta explained. "The findings here are very interesting – and not surprising.â€
Silverberg said he hoped the results would lead to further discoveries of what puts U.S. kids at risk for allergies and how to prevent them.
For now, Gupta recommended parents make sure their children eat a diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. And allowing them to play in the mud a little bit probably wouldn't hurt, she said – with proper hand-washing afterward, of course.

Patients & Families
For Health Professionals
Lots of people limit their intake of meat — maybe you, your kids, or others in your family don't eat meat. Maybe you're a vegetarian and are wondering if it's a good choice for your kids, too. Or perhaps your teen just expressed an interest in going meat-free and you're looking for information.
The term "vegetarian" can mean different things to different people:
And many people don't eat red meat or pork but do eat poultry and/or seafood.
Less commonly practiced is the form of vegetarianism known as veganism. A vegan doesn't consume any animal-derived foods or animal byproducts, and eats only plant-based foods. Besides not eating meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, or dairy, vegans don't use products made from animal sources, such as fur, leather, and wool.
While those are obvious animal products, many animal byproducts are things we might not even realize come from animals. These include:
Veganism (also known as strict vegetarianism or pure vegetarianism), as defined by the Vegan Society, is "a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose."
Vegans also avoid toothpaste with calcium extracted from animal bones, if they are aware of it. Similarly, soap made from animal fat rather than vegetable fats is avoided. Vegans generally oppose the violence and cruelty involved in the meat, dairy, cosmetics, clothing, and other industries.
According to the American Dietetic Association (ADA), "appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life-cycle including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence and for athletes."
Vegetarian diets offer a number of advantages, says the ADA, including lower levels of total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and higher levels of fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants. As a result, the health benefits of a vegetarian diet may include the prevention of certain diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
But any restrictive diet can make it more difficult to get all the nutrients a person's body needs. A vegan diet eliminates food sources of vitamin B12, which is found almost exclusively in animal products, including milk, eggs, and cheese. A vegan diet also eliminates milk products, which are good sources of calcium.
To ensure that "well-planned" diet, vegans must find alternative sources for B12 and calcium, as well as vitamin D, protein, iron, zinc, and occasionally riboflavin.
Here's how:
Vitamin B12. Vegans can get vitamin B12, needed to produce red blood cells and maintain normal nerve function, from enriched breakfast cereals, fortified soy products, nutritional yeast, or supplements.
Calcium. Everyone needs calcium for strong teeth and bones. Calcium is plentiful in dark green vegetables (spinach, bok choy, broccoli, collards, kale, turnip greens), sesame seeds, almonds, red and white beans, soy foods, dried figs, blackstrap molasses, and calcium-fortified foods like soy, rice, and almond milks; fruit juices; and breakfast cereals.
Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies absorb calcium and is synthesized by exposing skin to sunlight. But vitamin D deficiency can happen, especially in someone who doesn't spend a lot of time outside. Vitamin D is not found in most commonly eaten plant foods; the best dietary sources are fortified dairy products. Vegans can also get vitamin D from fortified foods, including vitamin D-fortified soy milk, rice milk, almond milk, orange juice, and some cereals. Vitamin D2 supplements come from plants, whereas most vitamin D3 comes from animals.
Protein. Not getting enough protein is a concern when switching to a vegetarian diet. Protein needs can be met while following a vegan diet by consuming adequate calories and eating a variety of plant foods, including good plant sources of protein such as soy, other legumes, nuts, and seeds.
Iron. Iron from plant sources is less easily absorbed than iron in meat. This lower
means that iron intake for vegetarians should be higher than the RDA for nonvegetarians. Vegetarian food sources of iron include soy foods like soybeans, tempeh, and tofu; legumes like lentils and chickpeas; and fortified cereals. Iron absorption is enhanced by vitamin C.
Zinc. Zinc plays a role in many key body functions, including immune system response, so it's important to get enough of it, which vegans can do by eating nuts, legumes, miso and other soy products, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, tahini, wheat germ, and whole-grain breads and cereals.
Omega-3 fatty acids. The omega 3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA, and ALA) are important for cardiovascular health and brain function. DHA and EPA are found in fish, eggs, and algae. Vegans can get these essential fatty acids through a diet rich in alpha linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid. ALA is found in flaxseed, walnuts, canola oil, and soy. DHA from microalgae can be found in supplements and fortified foods.
If your child is interested in becoming a vegan, you might be wondering if a vegan diet can be practical and provide sufficient nutrients. It's important to consider a few things before making any major dietary changes.
Kids can follow a vegan diet and still get what they need to grow healthy and strong, but it will require careful label reading and extra effort to make sure nutrition guidelines are met.
Anyone following a vegan diet has to be a careful label-reader. No federal regulation dictates the use of the words "vegetarian" or "vegan" in the United States. To be sure a food truly is "suitable for vegans," check the label — what might be vegetarian isn't necessarily vegan.
Vegans are by no means stuck eating boring foods with little variety. But if someone in your family is considering going vegan or wondering whether it's realistic to stop eating animal-based foods, it might pay to start slowly.
A wide array of meat alternatives can be found in almost every grocery store. Tasty frozen veggie burgers, chicken and meat substitutes, sausage alternatives, fake bacon, and tofu dogs can help make the transition to a vegan diet convenient and easy.
And many foods you probably already have are suitable — most breakfast cereals are vegan as are many crackers, cookies, and baked goods.
For more information, consider talking to a registered dietician familiar with vegan diets and look for vegetarian cookbooks that can help you plan and prepare healthy meatless meals.
