Pharmacist Sentenced For Toddler's Death
A former Cleveland area pharmacist got jail time in connection with the death of a toddler.
41-year-old Eric Cropp has been sentenced to six months in jail, six months of house arrest and three years probation in the death of 2-year-old Emily Jerry.
At Friday's sentencing in Cleveland, Cropp was also ordered to tell professional groups about his case as part of 400 hours of community service when he leaves jail.
Cropp pleaded no contest in May to involuntary manslaughter in the 2006 death.
Prosecutors said Cropp was responsible because he oversaw the mixing of the girl's chemotherapy at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland.
The toddler received an overdose of a saline solution during chemotherapy and died three days later.
During the sentencing, Emily's mother spoke to the judge and to Cropp.
"Emily beat her cancer only to suffer a horrific and painful death. Mr. cropp you have no idea how you've devastated so many lives. You never will. Even if you were to recieve the maximum of 5 years, it will never compare to the lifetime of pain and suffering I and my family will have to endure," said Kelly Jerry.
The hospital fired Cropp and his license was revoked.

Man Seeks Nationwide Law After Toddler's Death
Chris Jerry still hears the screams of his 2-year-old daughter, Emily, after a pharmacy technician gave her an improperly mixed dose of chemotherapy.
Emily Jerry of Mentor died in March 2006, three days after receiving the lethal dose during what was supposed to be her final chemotherapy treatment. A grapefruit-sized tumor found in her abdomen was gone, and her parents were planning a trip to Disney World to celebrate her defeat of the cancer.
The solution, mixed by a pharmacy technician, contained concentrated sodium chloride, a 23.4 percent solution, instead of a saline solution with 1 percent sodium chloride.
Pharmacist Eric Cropp, 39, of Bay Village, failed to catch the mistake in the saline solution and was fired by Cleveland's Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital a week later. The Ohio Board of Pharmacy revoked his license in April 2007.
Cropp was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and reckless homicide and awaits sentencing.
After her death, Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland signed a law – Emily's Law – that governs the monitoring of pharmacy technicians. But now the 41-year-old old grieving father wants to take his cause across the nation through Emily's Foundation, a nonprofit group founded in the toddler's memory.
Jerry plans to push for a national law to govern the work of pharmacy technicians and help prevent medical errors like the one that killed his daughter. The foundation will be partly funded by a $7 million settlement he won from Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, where his daughter died.
The foundation will also operate a Web site where grieving parents can console each other and offer advice.
"Children are getting sick and dying because of mistakes and because drug companies are forcing hospitals to cut corners," Jerry said. "We will present these kinds of issues and force change by bringing them to the forefront."
Jerry, who sought psychological counseling as he worked through his turmoil, began counseling families in local hospitals whose children were on life-support.
"I can speak to these people because I have gone through something similar, I know what they need to hear," he said.
He believes his work with Emily's Foundation will give him a purpose.
"I feel like my daughter is watching over me, like my personal guardian angel, guiding me in my efforts," he said.

Rx for errors: Drug error killed their little girl
Emily Jerry was nearly ready to go home from a Cleveland hospital. The grapefruit-size tumor in her abdomen seemed gone, and the 2-year-old with blond ringlets and blue eyes was getting one last round of chemotherapy just to make sure.
Instead, the treatment killed her. A pharmacy technician at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital mixed Emily's chemotherapy drug with a saline solution 26 times above normal. The pharmacist on duty didn't catch the error. Soon after getting the drug, Emily was on life support. She died three days later, on March 1, 2006.
On Tuesday, a House bill that would set mandatory education, training and regulatory standards for all pharmacy technicians, is scheduled to be introduced by Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio. He calls it Emily's Act.
A similar proposal in Emily's home state, Ohio, is expected to be considered this year by state lawmakers. And next month, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists plans a drive for tougher standards for technicians, who in many states need prove only that they are high school graduates with no criminal record.
Emily's parents, Kelly and Christopher Jerry, are at the forefront of the crusade for tougher standards for the workers typically responsible for entering prescriptions into computers, checking dosages and getting the correct drugs into medication containers. They say the circumstances of Emily's death lend urgency to their cause.
"It would have been a whole other story if the cancer would have been responsible," says Kelly Jerry, an activist and former school teacher in Concord Township, Ohio. "But to know that she died in this horrific way she did, we can't live with ourselves until we help make changes so this doesn't happen to another family."
Emily's parents say a USA TODAY series published earlier this month drew new attention to the cause by highlighting technician errors not caught by pharmacists.
Born in February 2004, Emily was diagnosed with a curable form of cancer when she was 18 months old. She underwent surgeries and four rounds of chemotherapy to eradicate the tumor growing from the base of her spine. The treatment worked, and Emily was expected to go home disease-free just after her second birthday.
Her parents planned a Disney World celebration trip with Emily and her older brother and sister.
Instead, Emily awoke crying on Feb. 28, grabbing her head in pain and vomiting. She died three days later.
An Ohio pharmacy board investigation showed that pharmacy technician Katherine Dudash had made a tragic error. According to a notarized statement Dudash wrote for the board, she prepared Emily's chemotherapy bag with a 23.4% saline solution, 26 times the 0.9% normally used. Pharmacist Eric Cropp didn't catch the mistake.
The board revoked his license last year over the incident and a string of later errors. In August, an Ohio grand jury indicted Cropp on charges of reckless homicide and involuntary manslaughter "in the death of Emily Jerry."
Arguing that Cropp is innocent, defense attorney Richard Lillie has filed motions to dismiss the case, which is expected to go to trial later this year. Lillie says the charges raise "all sorts of land mines for health care professionals" who make unintentional errors.
Dudash, in her statement, wrote that she told Cropp, "This doesn't seem right," after preparing the intravenous solution for Emily's chemotherapy. Cropp "shrugged it off," she wrote. Joann Predina, a pharmacy board investigator, found Dudash had spent time on the Internet "planning her wedding" during a lull before the error.
Cropp, in his own notarized statement to the board, wrote that he had been rushed, "which caused me to miss any flags that Katie had done something wrong."
Unlike Cropp, Dudash has not faced disciplinary action or prosecution. In part, that's because Ohio is among at least 11 states that do not regulate pharmacy technicians. In Ohio, "The technician has no legal responsibility. It all falls back on the shoulders of the pharmacist," says Tim Benedict, assistant director of the state's pharmacy board.
After the fatality, Dudash returned to the CVS (CVS) drugstore chain, where she had worked and passed a technician training program before landing the hospital job. CVS spokesman Michael DeAngelis says she now holds a non-pharmacy job and would not grant interviews.
LaTourette, the congressman, says Americans "would be a little bit dismayed if they knew that they and their loved ones were having drugs mixed for them by people who don't have any training requirements."
His bill would make federal grants available to states that require all technicians — in hospitals, retail stores and other settings — to pass the national training exam administered by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board. It would also require reporting of prescription errors to state pharmacy boards and limit the number of technicians supervised by a single pharmacist.
LaTourette says he will seek co-sponsorship from 20 members of Congress with constituents who were injured or died from errors by pharmacy technicians. He says the proposal has the backing of actor Dennis Quaid, whose newborn twins mistakenly were given 1,000 times the usual dosage of a blood thinner in November at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
A hospital investigation showed technicians failed to follow hospital policies in checking the drug's strength. The twins recovered. Quaid's attorney, Susan Loggans, said the actor and his family "support the regulation of people in the health care field who are not certified."
LaTourette is optimistic his bill will become law. But it likely faces an uncertain congressional reception in a presidential election year. Pharmacy operators are expected to oppose it as unnecessary and too costly.
Sen. Timothy Grendell, R-Ohio, who introduced the state legislation, said that measure has drawn "quiet resistance" from pharmacy lobbyists over the proposed pharmacist-to-technician ratios and the prospect of higher salaries for technicians who meet the tougher standards. Supporters say they hope the planned campaign by the 35,000-member pharmacist group will help overcome opponents' arguments.
"I think they realize in light of what happened to Emily … that something is going to get done," says Grendell.
"We want people like us to be able to protect themselves and be able to protect their families," says Christopher Jerry. "The only way we can see to do this right now, immediately, is with the public outcry Kelly and I are trying to produce."

Fatal dose: Pharmacy tech working again
Channel 3 News has learned that Pharmacy Technician Katie Ferg-Dudash, who mixed a fatal dose of Sodium Chloride that killed 2-year-old Emily Jerry is working at a local CVS Pharmacy.
In February 2006, Emily Jerry went to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital for her final dose of chemotherapy for a cancerous tumor in her abdomen. By this point, it appeared Emily had beaten the cancer but her doctors wanted her to have one more dose to make sure.
On February 26, 2006, records show Katie Ferg- Dudash was working in the IV room where chemo drugs are compounded. Records show Dudash mixed a dose of Sodium Chloride that was 24 times more than the prescribed amount. She informed supervising pharmacist, Eric Cropp, that she thought something was wrong with the mixture but neither of them stopped the dose from reaching Emily.
Emily Jerry died from the overdose on March 1st.
Now Dudash is working as a Pharmacy Technician at the Euclid CVS at E. 222nd and Lakeshore. Channel 3 was unable to reach her for comment.
CVS Corporate claims in a statement, "Prior to her employment at the hospital, Dudash worked at the Euclid location for several years as a Pharmacy Technician and had an excellent record. We were not aware of the incident at the hospital until today, in which it is our understanding there were no criminal charges filed. CVS does not allow technicians to compound medications. We have placed Katie on paid leave while we investigate this matter further."
Last month, Cropp went before the Ohio Pharmacy Board and was stripped of his Pharmacist license. Pharmacists are held ultimately responsible for any mistake made by a Pharmacy Technician.
There are no laws in Ohio regulating the Pharmacy Technician field. So Dudash is not breaking any law, was never criminally charged and is free to continue in her field. That's why State Senator Tim Grendell and Rep. Steve LaTourette are drafting state and federal legislation to regulate the Pharmacy Technician field. Ohio is one of a handful of states that require no certification, licensing, testing or training requirements.

Once upon a time, teachers used corporal punishment to maintain discipline in public schools.
This flowed from the fact that while children were in school, teachers were expected to act as substitute parents, with all the normal forms of parental discipline available to them. As a consequence, students were often punished with the birch, cane, paddle or strap — ouch! — if they did something wrong.

Quit Tobacco! New Recommendation for Internet-based Interventions
The Community Preventive Services Task Force (CPSTF) recommends internet-based interventions to increase tobacco use cessation. Evidence shows the interventions increase cessation among adults interested in quitting when measured six or more months following intervention. This recommendation updates and replaces the 2011 CPSTF finding of insufficient evidence for this intervention approach.
A team of specialists in systematic review methods and smoking cessation research, practice, and policy selected and evaluated the following published review:
McCrabb S, Baker AL, Attia J, Skelton E, Twyman L, et al. Internet-based programs incorporating behavior change techniques are associated with increased smoking cessation in the general population: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Annals of Behavioral Medicine 2019:53(2):180-95.
What are internet-based interventions to stop tobacco use?
These internet-based interventions use websites to provide evidence-based information, strategies, and behavioral support to motivate and assist tobacco users interested in quitting. Interventions include interactive features, tailored guidance, or counseling. They may be developed for specific populations and may also use text messaging, telephone calls, or medications.
These internet-based interventions could be combined with other CPSTF-recommended cessation interventions, such as quitlines, mobile phone-based interventions, and policies to reduce patient out-of-pocket costs for these treatments. All CPSTF recommendations for tobacco cessation interventions are online.
Smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the United States. It causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Although the percentage of adults who smoke is at an all-time low nationally, 34 million adults still smoke . More than 16 million people live with at least one disease caused by smoking , and 58 million nonsmoking Americans are exposed to secondhand smoke. Smoking cessation improves health status, reduces the risk of premature death, and can add as much as a decade to life expectancy.

Analysis of radiographic images and germination of Campomanesia pubescens (Mart. ex DC.) O.Berg (Myrtaceae Juss.) seeds under drying
E. V. E. J. Amaral
Juliana de Fátima Sales
Jacson Zuchi
Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the internal morphology of seeds of Campomanesia pubescens (Mart. ex DC.) O. Berg with varying water content through X-ray image analysis, and correlate the images with the germination of these seeds. Fruits were collected in Jataí, Goiás, Brazil, and taken to the Seed Laboratory of the Federal Institute Goiano, Rio Verde Campus, where they were processed and the seeds were extracted. To establish the predetermined water content (43%, 37%, 34%, 31%, and 28% wet basis… Show more
(20 reference statements)
"…Regarding the initial water content, all genotypes of A. sellowiana had an initial content of 28% (Table 1), value relatively lower than what was found by Gomes et al (2013) (36%), and higher than the one described by Santos et al (2004) (21%). The high amount of water in seeds of Myrtaceae family is common and may reach 70% for some species (Amaral et al, 2019) . According to the same authors water content was an effective index to assist in determining the physiological maturity of seeds, which is directly connected to the germination process.…"
Section: Resultsmentioning
"…sellowiana is well-known as goiabeira-serrana, goiabeira do mato or feijoa (Ducroquet & Ribeiro, 1991), and is native to the southern Brazilian plateau (Ducroquet, et al, 2000). It is under a domestication process, occurring within natural populations in understory layer of areas with altitudes above 800 m, a fleshy fruit, sweet and acidulous taste with excellent aroma, consumed in natura or processed (Ducroquet et al, 2000;Thorp & Bieleski, 2002), and demonstrating great market potential (Amaral et al, 2019) . It also has the peculiarity of presenting edible petals (Mattos, 1986) and important characteristics for ornamental use (Gomes et al, 2017) and is recommended for the recovery of affected ecosystems (Fockink et al, 2020) also in Pharmacology (Santos et al, 2019) .…"
Classification and quality of Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret seeds as to tolerance to desiccation
Voss1,
Filippi2,
Sohne3
The objective of this paper was to determine the physiological behavior and seed quality of five genotypes of Acca sellowiana regarding desiccation. Seeds were obtained from five plants of urban backyards in the cities of Dois Vizinhos - PR (A1, A2) and Vacaria - RS (A3, A4, A5). The experiment was conducted in a bifactor arrangement (5x3), with five genotypes and three levels of water content (28%, 15% and 5%), arranged into complete randomized block design, with four replicates of 50 seeds each. Seeds were germinated on absorbent paper soaked with water, being kept in BOD chamber under temperature of 25±3°C with photoperiod of 16 hours. Germination percentage, speed index and average time were assessed by counting seeds every two days for 50 days, starting from the moment of radicle emergence. No significant differences were observed for germination percentage and all genotypes surpassing 79% of germination. Desiccation of seeds had low influence on germination speed index and average time of germination, although genotype influence was verified due to genetic variability. Genotype A5 has seeds with superior quality from the others. Acca sellowiana seeds have orthodox behavior.
"…Recent reports have show the usefulness of radiographic images for embryo abnormality detection, identification of seed coat mechanical damages, determination of seed maturation stage, full seed selection, and general assessment of seed quality (Amaral et al, 2019; Gibbert et al, 2019; Medeiros et al, 2019; . X-ray tests are recommended by the Rules for Seed Testing (Brasil, 2009) and by the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA, 2003) aiming to detect full, empty, damaged, or insect-predated seeds.…"
Desiccation Tolerance and germination of Psidium guajava seeds from different regions of Brazil
Tonetti
CERNE
Background:The germination ecology of P. guajava seeds collected in two regions of Brazil was investigated aiming to (1) characterize the seed batches; (2) determine the best temperature for germination; and (3) assess variations in seed desiccation tolerance (DT). For each batch, we determined seed water content and initial germination. To evaluate temperature effects, we tested seed germination. After, we generated the imbibition curves for the two provenance. To evaluate the loss of DT, the seeds were left to germinate along different time intervals. We monitored water loss by regularly weighing the seeds until achieving stabilization, keeping them under these conditions for 72 hours. After drying, the seeds were pre-hydrated and submitted to the germination test. Results:We identified variations in physiological characteristics between the seeds from north and southeast batches. At the temperature extremes, the seeds from both provenance failed to germinate. The highest germination percentages were observed at 20 and 25 °C (constant) and between 20-30 °C (alternating) for the two batches and, for the southeast batch specifically, at 30 °C. The imbibition curve displayed a triphasic pattern with a rapid increase in seed fresh weight in the first 48 hours. Conclusion:The southeast provenance seeds lost DT abruptly, until its complete loss after radicle protrusion, which occurred in both batches. The highest values of germination speed index (GSI) of both provenance were observed after a 9-day imbibition period, suggesting seed hydration memory. Drying resulted in necrosis of the root tissue and death of the seeds with visible roots.

Earlier this evening I was present at the Sogeti Netherlands Kick Off party 2008 in the Heineken Music Hall. Over 2000 colleagues filled the hall to the max.
This years' kick off was titled Sogeti 2.0 and the keywords 'innovation' and 'participation'. Sogeti Netherlands is one of the leading IT companies in the Netherlands, so off course we used lots of web 2.0 stuff in the presentations. First of all, Sogeti CEO Jeroen Versteeg started the kick off from Second Life.
Menno van Doorn and Sander Duivestein of the Sogeti VINT research institute lifeblogged the event at the Vint.Sogeti blog (in Dutch) and a group of 32 Young Professionals who are currently at the Ohio University Without Boundaries (who also have a very strong SL presence) were plugged in through webstream and Second Life.
One of the fact-parts of the show was the financial and performance speech. We've had a great year and Sogeti Netherlands has grown 18% in 2007, outperforming every other Sogeti and Capgemini SA groupmembers by miles.
Right after closing the show, CEO Jeroen Versteeg took some time to chat with the Young Professionals in Second Life.


When pests invade your property, you should act quickly to avoid extensive damage and costly repairs – call in an expert in Pest Control Brisbane.
Sun Dry are your go-to Pest Control Brisbane professionals, as well as carpet cleaning specialists. We are highly experienced in dealing with all types of household pests.
The nuisances that invade your home fall under the umbrella term "pests," but there are different kinds. There are kinds that fly, while there are those that crawl. Whichever category they fall into, they need experts in pest control Brisbane to handle them efficiently and effectively.
They can travel from one place to another through a person's luggage or bedding. These creatures hide in cracks and crevices during the day then come out at night to feed on the blood of their host. Their bite is itchy and can become infected when scratched.
Although their name gives an idea of where they like to hang out, carpet beetles can also damage clothes and clothing. Getting carpet cleaning Brisbane professionals to come over regularly is a good way of keeping these creatures under control.
These insects can live in bathroom and kitchen cupboards and under floors of older houses. They are also found where there is rubbish and food scraps since those spaces are the source of their meals. After a cockroach infestation, you may also wish to get your carpets professionally cleaned to deal with any droppings.
Like bed bugs, fleas feed on blood and like bed bugs, they travel via clothes and bedding. They are usually found on animals, like cats or dogs, but they can be found in your home as well. You may also benefit from carpet cleaning Brisbane services to fully manage these pests.
They can be found in lots of places – trees, gardens, insulation, pipes, etc. You'll usually notice their presence through scratching noises. Like cockroaches, they enjoy going through rubbish, exposed food, and storage areas.
While we deal with all sorts of spiders, Redbacks are the most common ones you may get at your home. These spiders are prevalent during the summer months, particularly in dry, sheltered sites such as toilets, garage doors or sheds. The bite of the female of this species can be quite dangerous, which is why pest control Brisbane services should be called as soon as possible if they are found around the house.
They feed on starch and may cause damage to silk or synthetic fabrics. These creatures prefer places that aren't used as much, disused cupboards and storage chests, roof spaces, and wall cavities. Since they like unused places, a thorough inspection by a pest control Brisbane professional is needed to determine the severity of the infestation.
We are experienced in dealing with all sorts of ants infestations. We can conduct inspections and provide advice on the best solutions to prevent or effectively manage these pests.

An 81-year-old East Bridgewater man crashed into a Melrose Street home.
BROCKTON — A van traveled off the road, drove through a backyard, jumped an embankment and crashed into a home Monday morning.
Police and firefighters responded to a report of a crash into the home at 167 Melrose St. about 6:46 a.m.
First responders found a blue 2002 Ford E350 van leaning against the home. The vehicle crashed into the back of the home, causing extensive damage to the siding, just inches from a window.
Police learned the van was driving westbound on Ames Street and the driver lost control, causing the van to jump the curb, strike a fence and crash into the home, according to police spokesman Darren Duarte.
The driver, an 81-year-old man from East Bridgewater, was not injured. No one inside in the home was injured, either.
No citations or charges had been filed in the crash as of Monday afternoon and the cause remained under investigation by Brockton police.


Madhuca longifolia var. latifolia belonging to the family Sapotaceae which was also known as Mahua and Butter tree. The present study was designed to identify the fatty acids present in oil and to analyze the elements present within the seed and seed cake. After extraction of oil, it was found that the seeds were high in oil content within the kernel. The oil percentage found in seed was highest recorded as 57.59%. In GCMS analysis of oil, the oleic acid which is monounsaturated fatty acid (45.11%) was recorded highest in amount compared to others. Elements within the seed and seed cake were analyzed using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. Concentrations of seven elements such as Calcium (35.53%), Carbon (33.56%), Oxygen (22.46%), Nitrogen (5.20%), Phosphorus (2.18%), Magnesium (0.23%) and Sodium (0.04%) had been determined in seed cake by Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. The present study provides information about the availability of some essential minerals and fatty acids, which can be used as nutraceuticals and it may also help in developing the biofuel for industrial purposes.

Last year, members of the community were up in arms when the city sent letters to 181 condominium, faith-based, and non-profit organizations to inform them that front-end loader refuse services to their properties would be terminated. In addition to the issue of those affected now having to contract with a private hauler and adjust for unforeseen budget liabilities incurred as a result, it brought to light an even greater issue within our communities: there are a number of property owners and taxpayers currently paying for refuse services, but not benefitting from this basic service.

They found that a closely related compound will activate an enzyme, AMPK, triggering a cellular recycling system that helps reduce elevated cholesterol and other accumulated fats in the brains and livers of NPC1 patients, which are hallmarks associated with severe neurological problems.
Designing drugs that target NPC1 could potentially stop Ebola from breaking and entering into human cells, study coauthor Kartik Chandran and colleagues suggest.
Research on mice has shown that the virus can only gain entry to host cells by attaching to a specific protein, NPC1.
Together, these studies suggest that cells and tissues with high NPC1 and TIM-1 expression may be major sites of viral infection and sites of significant shedding of mature infectious viral progeny.
The NPC1 protein is embedded within cell membranes, where it helps transport cholesterol within the cell.
For cyclic compressive loading, the test was conducted on NPC1 and FRC12M.
The gene therapy involved inserting a functional copy of the NPC1 gene into mice with the disease; the treated animals were then found to have less severe NPC1 symptoms.
The second variant linked to child and adult obesity is found in the NPC1 gene.


Kids even as young as 2 years old are able to use mobile phones. Although having these phones are fun, the safety of using it is very high especially for your children. When your child demands a phone from you, you cannot just decline their request because this will actually affect their social life. Therefore, as the parents, you need to adapt to their world and the only thing that you can do now is to guide them. But the question is, how are you going to guide them when they are using their phones? Having a phone is like a personal property and the only person allowed to use it and have access to it is the owner, right? But since you are a parent and your kids still need proper guidance, you need to find a way to ensure that they are using their phones safely and with maximum tolerance.
One of the best ways that you can apply to your situation is to ensure that the kids' phone is safe before you give it to them. There are different apps that are very useful in ensuring that your kids are safe while using their phones and you can also monitor them. For instance, you can download spyware app that can detect any signs of spyware that are harmful to your kid's phones. Spyware can create danger especially if it is one of the worst types. Thus, downloading a spyware app or antivirus app is very important to ensure that these spywares will be deleted or quarantined once they attempt to corrupt the system of your children's phones. Find out about how to find hidden spyware on android.
Aside from spyware apps, you may also track your kids by downloading a GPS tracker to their phones that is linked to your phones. So, wherever they are, you can actually monitor their whereabouts easily especially if they are outside of your home premises. Lastly, you need to allow your kids to have their own social media accounts because there are many benefits to it. This is a great way to help your kids overcome their fear in socializing. This is also a way to help them create more friends. But still, they need to be guided. You need to make them understand and teach them how to be a responsible social media account owner. Click here to know how to track your kids phone.

This talk will be about the non-backtracking matrix of a graph. I will review recent works on its spectral properties for random graphs and concentrate on its algorithmic applications. Notably I will talk about optimality of the corresponding spectral algorithm for clustering of sparse networks and for analysis of percolation on sparse networks. The relation with linearized belief propagation for the corresponding graphical model will be instrumental.

Tesla says car fire caused by failed battery module
Tesla has said a fire in one of its cars in China was caused by the failure of a single battery module and investigators found no defects in the car's systems.
The electric car maker said on its social media account that a joint team examined the battery, software, manufacturing information and the vehicle's history after the fire in an underground garage in Shanghai on April 21.
It said it found no system defects and determined preliminarily that the fire was caused by the failure of a battery module in the front of the vehicle.
Modules are groups of battery cells joined together. Panasonic supplies Tesla's cells. Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, said in May it was issuing a battery-related software update.
In the US, federal authorities are investigating at least three Tesla fires, including one that killed the driver of a Model S last February in Davie, Florida.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is probing the Davie fire, while the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating blazes in West Hollywood and Mountain View, California. The Mountain View fire occurred after a fatal crash.
Fires in Tesla's lithium-ion batteries can reignite after being extinguished by firefighters.
The company has said that fires can take up to 24 hours to extinguish and firefighters should consider letting the battery burn while protecting nearby buildings.
Tesla has maintained its vehicles catch fire far less often than those powered by petrol.

New GOP Health Proposal Could Ditch Protections For People Who Are Sick
Health InsuranceApril 21, 2017Comments Off on New GOP Health Proposal Could Ditch Protections For People Who Are Sick
Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., has drawn up a proposed amendment to the GOP health care bill, hoping to attract enough support to pass the House.
Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call Inc./Getty Images
House Republicans are mulling over new changes to their health care proposal, hoping to wrangle enough votes to pass a bill that would allow them to keep their campaign pledge to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
The latest proposal allows states to make changes to the ACA's rules governing health insurance policies and markets, in an effort to allow some states to offer stripped-down policies with lower premiums.
The proposal represents a deal between Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J., who is the head of the moderate Tuesday Group, and Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who leads the far-right Freedom Caucus. The two groups could not agree on details

Softbank's acquisition of ARM is a big bet on the future
Karishma Vaswani Asia business correspondent @KarishmaBBC on Twitter
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-36822927
Imagine a future where your fridge, your washing machine, even your hairbrush, is a computer.
Everyday appliances, all of a sudden transformed into intelligent, thinking and analytical machines.
And then think - how much would you pay to own the technology behind those devices?
That might help to explain why Softbank's eccentric chief executive Masayoshi Son is paying close to a 50% premium for the UK's ARM Holdings.
ARM doesn't make the chips that will eventually go into some of these devices, but it does design many of the chips used in smartphone devices (Apple and Samsung for instance) and other sensory devices today. ARM makes its money from charging a small royalty on its intellectual property.
Betting on the future
"Softbank's acquisition is a huge bet on the future," says Marc Einstein of Frost & Sullivan in Tokyo.
"Masayoshi Son has a vision of the future of the telecoms and IT industry which will be designed around artificial intelligence, robots and the Internet of Things."
It's a big gamble, but then the Japanese technology entrepreneur has always been known to take big risks.
Image caption Will the robots eventually take over?
In a recent interview with Fortune, Nikesh Arora - the previous number two at Softbank - said this of his former boss: "Masa has an idea per minute. Recently he presented his views of 'The Singularity' to the Softbank board. He's also building a robot with a heart."
AI taking over?
The Singularity, if you didn't know already, is when artificial intelligence will overtake human intelligence. And Mr Son is a believer.
In an interview last month with the Nikkei, Mr Son said: "The Singularity is coming. Artificial intelligence will overtake human beings not just in terms of knowledge, but in terms of intelligence."
Crazy talk? Perhaps not, but the question is... how long will that vision of the future take to materialise?
And if you're going to spend $30bn (£22.7bn) on an investment, it had better start to pay off soon.
Industry experts tell me that that Mr Son has made a lot more money than anyone else in Japan - but he's also probably lost more money than anyone else in Japan too.
Softbank is currently in debt to the tune of around $100bn. The chief executive financed many of his acquisitions by borrowing heavily, but has recently been selling stakes in some of those purchases to help pay down this debt.
The Brexit effect
"Look at Softbank's investment activity in the first dotcom boom," says Harminder Singh, university lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology. "Some very ambitious plans that didn't work out."
"The departure of the previous heir-apparent Nikesh Arora may be an indicator of the tension this decision may have caused," Mr Singh explains.
"While the departure was publicly amicable, it's a fair bet that a decision to buy ARM, especially at such a high price, was not something Mr Arora was comfortable with."

Image caption As the pound falls, ARM has become quite a bit cheaper
It's probably helped that the sterling has weakened by more than 10% since Brexit - and conversely the Japanese yen has strengthened, making the ARM acquisition much cheaper for Softbank.
But cheaper doesn't mean cheap - and many Softbank investors will be wondering how long it will take for Mr Son to turn this gamble into returns for shareholders.
"It's really about the investment horizon," says Mr Einstein. "Is the Internet of Things going to happen in the next year? No. But the next 10, 20 or 30? Much more likely."
Mr Son is known to have an eye for potentially transformative industries and trends. He was an early investor in Alibaba and saw the potential in e-commerce before anyone else did. Shareholders in Softbank will be hoping that this pricey punt will pay off.

Xanax is a benzodiazepine, prescribed to treat panic and anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder (or GAD). In fact, Xanax is very effective at treating these–and it rapidly slows and relaxes the mind, alleviating anxiety and panic nearly instantly. Largely for that reason, Xanax is very often prescribed to sufferers of anxiety–in fact, it's one of the most prescribed medications in America.
Unfortunately, Xanax is also one of the most commonly abused prescription pills. The feelings of calmness and pleasure lead many to use the drug recreationally, which can quickly develop into a dangerous Xanax addiction. People take it at parties, sometimes with alcohol or other drugs–and the effects are exacerbated. Some Xanax patients find themselves taking more and more of the drug to achieve the same effects, which can lead to psychological dependency–and the dissipation of life as you know it.
Increased difficulty with memory and concentration.
Is Heroin The New Death Sentence?
If you're suffering from substance abuse as well as an underlying mental disorder, some of this probably already sounds familiar. Virtually everyone dealing with addiction has some kind of underlying problem that contributes to their relationship with substances and addiction. It might be something less serious, such as work-related stress, or it could be a serious problem such as clinical depression, which requires treatment in the form of therapy, medication, or both.
So how do you know if your struggles with substance abuse, or the struggles of your loved one, are linked to another disorder? Although you can review your own symptoms to see whether they match up with a common diagnosis, trying to diagnose yourself with information gathered from the Internet or from friends is usually not ideal. Ultimately, only a professional can properly diagnose you to determine whether you're suffering from a disorder in addition to your struggle with addiction.
One of the primary reasons that mental disorders and substance abuse so often go hand-in-hand is that drugs and alcohol can provide an escape from the pressures of mental health problems. Self-medicating is surprisingly common: you're not alone. But unlike real, effective, long-term solutions, such as medication and detoxification in a treatment center, drugs and alcohol won't be amount to effective treatment.
Understanding your dual diagnosis is especially important so that you can determine the course of your recovery. Dealing with multiple diagnoses may make your situation appear dire or even hopeless, but it never is–help is available, and recovery is possible.
Know that it's absolutely critical that you or your loved one provide all available information with any doctors or therapists who'll be assisting in your treatment and recovery. If only one of your diagnoses is treated, but the other is left unresolved, it's much less likely that your recovery will be lasting and complete. Your dual diagnoses (or co-occurring disorders) are not two separate problems that can be dealt with one at a time: they're inextricably linked, and working with one will help you to solve the other.

The Institute of Medicine suggested possible designs for a point-based food-labeling system, in which products with low levels of sugars, fats and sodium get more points.
Taking a cue from the Energy Star ratings on the front of household appliances, a panel of experts is recommending that a similarly easy-to-read system appear on every packaged food item in American grocery stores so busy consumers can glean nutritional info at a glance.
The recommendation comes from the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which was commissioned by Congress to study the issue over the past two years. The panel found that the dizzying variety of front-of-pack labels currently out there — grocery stores, food manufacturers and even health organizations like the American Heart Association put their own stamps on various foods — was leading to more consumer confusion than healthy choices.
Part of the problem is that food manufacturers like to tout their products' pluses (high in vitamin A) on the front of the box, without acknowledging their minuses (high in fat).
The IOM reviewed front-of-package labeling systems in the U.S. and abroad (here's a good rundown of labels) and found that, in terms of clarity for the consumer, no system was better than the next. So the panel proposed a standard label for all products that would show how many calories per serving the food item contains, along with a three-point system (checkmarks or stars) that would indicate whether the product contains acceptable levels of sodium, added sugars and trans fats or saturated fats.
Items would get a point each for having low enough levels of each of the three nutrients "of concern" — which the panel chose for being most closely associated with health problems like obesity, diabetes and heart disease — for a maximum of three points. If a product has a superhigh amount of any of the nutrients, rendering it unhealthy overall, it would receive no points. So sugary soda, for example, would get zero points for having high added sugar, even though it is low in fats and sodium.
Whole wheat bread would get three points, while graham crackers would get two (low levels of fats and sodium, but high in added sugar), and soup crackers would get zero. The hope is that the point system will not only help consumers cut through the culinary clutter and make fast, smart decisions, but also inspire grocers to encourage the sales of high-point foods and encourage manufacturers to reformulate their foods in pursuit of points.
The IOM's point system leads to some awkward ratings, however. A Diet Coke, for example, would get three points for having low levels of fats, added sugars and sodium. Meanwhile, 1% milk would get only two points, due to its fat content. But with that fat, of course, come good nutrients that an empty diet soda doesn't provide.
The process is still in its early stages. It's unclear whether federal regulators will adopt the new labels or whether they will be mandatory — though the project would make more sense if they were. Part of the justification for recommending a single, uniform system is that all products will be easily comparable. And allowing it to be voluntary would potentially remove many points of comparison.
For its part, the Grocery Manufacturers of America, an industry group that represents food makers, said it would go ahead with its own voluntary system of package-front labeling called Facts Up Front. That system lists calories, fat, sodium and sugar, as well as beneficial nutrients like fiber. It gives information, but doesn't rate products. "We believe the most effective programs are those that trust consumers and not ones that tell consumers what they should and should not eat," Scott Faber, a lobbyist for the Grocery Manufacturers Association, told the AP.
The next step is for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to decide whether or how to implement the panel's recommendation. The FDA is keen to overhaul front-of-package labeling, but the agency is continuing to study the matter.
