The Ebony Anglers: Trailblazing a Path For Black Women in Professional Fishing
By Staff Writer | August 5, 2021
The Ebony Anglers are an all-black, female, competitive fishing team seeking to inspire and give back to their community.
The world of saltwater tournament fishing is a highly competitive one, albeit one without a whole lot of diversity in the participants. However, at least one group of black women in North Carolina are seeking to change all that after forming what is likely the first black female competitive fishing team.
The women quickly named their group "The Ebony Anglers," and they wasted no time making an impression in the world of competitive fishing with a first place win their very first fishing tournament.
The five women are also all business owners and mothers. And their goal is not just to compete and inspire other to try the sport of competitive fishing, but to help their community thorough the mentoring of young people. It's a great feel-good story. Here are the women who are making it happen.
The team's beginnings.
The team started in July of 2020 and was the idea of Gia Peebles. She is a salon owner in Durham, North Carolina. Peebles watched the popular Big Rock Blue Marlin Fishing Tournament with her husband when she found inspiration.
"When I saw women of all ages coming from their fishing boats with fish and winning prizes, I noticed there were no women of color competing," Peebles said in a press release. "I said to myself, 'We can do this.'"
She reached out to four friends. A few thought she was joking at first. However, they were excited to join once they realized she was serious and the Ebony Anglers group was born. According to their website, their goals go beyond simply competing in fishing tournaments. They want to create more diversity and inclusion in competitive fishing, inspire others, build a lifestyle brand, and to mentor youth in values of sportsmanship and leadership.

As we have already mentioned, Gia Peebles owns a salon and boutique in Durham, North Carolina. She started the business in 2001. Prior to that, she attended California State University at Long Beach and earned a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice. She worked for Ault, Duprey, Jones and Gorman, a law firm in San Diego before moving to North Carolina.
Her competitiveness is nothing new. Gia lettered in four sports in high school. Softball was her specialty. She won the Jr. Olympics in the sport and her skills earned her a scholarship and a stint on the Durham Dragons, a professional softball team. She also coached for North Carolina Central University, leading the women's team to a championship in the CIAA. She has three sons with her husband William Maurice. It was William's love of fishing that inspired Gia to go along to see what it was all about.

Getting into competitive fishing only seemed natural for Lesleigh Mausi. Her father Raymond had a lifelong love of angling and chartered deep sea fishing trips for other anglers regularly. Lesleigh co-founded and serves as VP of an entertainment promotion company called The DOME Group. She is also the owner of the Art of Cool Music Festival and formed an online radio station called Art of Cool Radio as an offshoot of that work.
Before that, she earned a B.A. in Communications from the University of Michigan, and a Masters degree in Educational Leadership at Wayne State University. She worked in education for 23 years, working in Detroit and Durham. Lesleigh earned Assistant Principal of the Year while working with Durham Public Schools in 2016. She has also written a book called "Through the Fire," and is a trained pianist. Lesleigh has three sons with her husband Sulaiman.

After moving, they took a break from the food industry for a decade to run a publishing company.
Eventually, the couple returned to the restaurant and catering business with On Board Char, a full-service caterer currently serving the Triangle area. Although Davis is new to the world of tournament fishing, she does have some experience in it prior to joining the Ebony Anglers. She has five children.
The team's first win.
A post shared by Ebony Anglers (@ebonyanglers)
It did not take long for the Ebony Anglers to make an impact in the professional fishing scene. In July of 2020, they competed in the king mackerel division of the Carteret Community College Foundation Spanish Mackerel and Dolphin Tournament in Morehead City, their very first tournament as a professional team. They ended up winning their division with a 48-pound king mackerel reeled in by Lesleigh and Gia after a lengthy battle.
Their win was only their second time on the boat together. The impressive feat earned them time on the Today Show and The Drew Barrymore Show to talk about the experience.
"We got the line out there and I mean, it hit within about half an hour," Bobbiette told the Today Show. "Lesleigh starts reeling it in, she is fighting this thing for about 40 minutes, Gia fights the fish for another 20 minutes. And finally, you start to see that color breaking the water and you can start to get a sense for how massive this fish is."
The win made national headlines with publications like the New York Times picking up and running the story of their success. This attracted even more attention to the group's efforts to spread a love of fishing to others.
Outreach to the community and giving back.
The competitive women's fishing team wants to do more than just win tournaments though. Their website proudly proclaims their vision is to: "Establish a legacy of leadership, sportsmanship and excellence for youth through education and mentoring."
The way they are doing is with their nonprofit, The Ebony Anglers Foundation. Its goal is educate youth on fishing and boating, instill leadership and life skills, and just to generate an appreciation for the outdoors in youngsters. The foundation has two programs called "Black Girls Fish," and "Black Boys Boat."
These programs regularly hold youth events to teach boating and fishing skills to children from eight to 12 years of age. The women are hoping their work will lead to better representation of black people in the outdoor and fishing tournament scenes. They also hope it inspires confidence in the children and gives them skills they can use throughout life.
Response to the Ebony Anglers
While fishing tournaments have not seen many women of color participate in the past, the great news to this story is that they were warmly welcomed onto the scene by others immediately. In fact, they generated a ton of buzz before the tournament even began.
"We've actually been received with open arms," Peebles told the Today Show. "People say 'Oh, we've heard about you, we've been following you all.' And we do know that there are not a lot of people of color in this sport, so we do realize we are kind of trailblazing a path for others to want to participate in sportfishing."
They have also generated a large online following of fans on their social channels already. This year the team competed at their first Big Rock Blue Marlin Fishing Tournament where they were well received by other competitors and the organizers of the event. They have also started to earn sponsorships from prominent outdoors brands like Columbia.

This chapter describes the basic correlation procedures used in a typical interpretation project, beginning with how to start an interpretation and then discussing fundamentals of the two main correlation techniques (loop tying and jump correlation). The section on correlations in depth-migration projects provides helpful information and guidance for handling aspects of interpretation that are specific to working with depth-migrated data, especially for building velocity models. The discussion of visualization emphasizes the importance of this procedure for validating correlations and communicating interpretation results. The chapter closes with a summary of individual processes and an example of a generic interpretation workflow.
You select horizons for interpretation and mapping early in a project; some horizons may be more geologically significant or more obvious than others, and in some projects there is neither time nor need for picking the entire set of common dip families that make up an individual seismic line or a whole data set. These choices, which often involve correlation with other control such as well information by way of well ties, are determined by the exploration objectives for the project, the geologic complexity of the study area, and the quality of the available seismic data. On occasion, you modify the number of horizons and faults that you interpret during a project as you learn more about the study area. Within the limits of project objectives and available time, there is no point picking horizons (boundaries) and faults that do not contribute meaningfully to building the geologic history of an area. Although there might be many interesting features and surfaces visible in your data, attempting to identify and track all of them can compromise the objectives of an interpretation, destroy interpretive focus, and waste time and resources.

Simplified #FHIR Privacy Consent Directive resource
The most simple Privacy Consent Directive would really just be a YES/NO flag, so I don't actually mean that simple. What I mean is more simple than the last update I made, yet still functional. With the previous version I learned a few more things to be simplified. The most shocking that I forgot is that the most prevalent exception is to exclude data published duing a date/time range.
So now I have updated the Privacy Consent Directive resource that has a base that identifies the patient, authority, domain, location, recipient, grantor, data, and actions. These are the elements needed for an all-or-nothing kind of consent.
Simple FHIR Consent
Much discussion around consent (Privacy) in HL7 FHIR. It seems that much of the seamingly endless circular arguments come down to getting everyone on the same page.
1. HL7 can only produce Interoperability standards. It can't define Policy, Architecture, or Implementations.
2. We thus can't just pick one architecture (e.g. OAuth+UMA) and stop. We must build to fit a reasonable set of architectures.
3. We thus can't jut pick one policy (e.g. patient home) and stop. We must build to fit reasonable a set of policies.
4. We thus can't just pick one implementation (e.g. single server) and stop. We must build to fit a reasonable set of implementations.
5. FHIR should focus on only what systems do today, not what we want them to do.
6. FHIR should put into common extensions those things that we want them to do (e.g. Identified disclosure notification endpoint)
7. Simple is always better
This means that sometimes a specific Policy, Architecture, and Implementation might not need our solution at all. This is likely the case if someone picks the HEART (OAuth+UMA) model, were the current FHIR Consent adds no value since all the consent policy management is handled inside the UMA authority.
Adrian 'working defintion of consent' is much like what we have used. I reproduce it here with attribution as I like his structure:
I (Adrian) propose a working definition of consent as:
A contract between a person and an institution that describes a policy of the person and a duty of the institution.
A policy is not an attribute. An attribute can be measured and asserted by a lab or a nurse. A policy can only be asserted by the patient or their custodian - hence, the need for a contract.
A contract combines a series of terms into one accountable transaction.
The terms of a consent transaction MUST include:
An institution that carries the duty of interpretation.
A subject - the patient
A custodian who is allowed to assert a policy (the patient or legal guardian of the patient)
A resource (potentially any non-aggregated FHIR resource, including de-identifed person-level resources)
A policy to be interpreted by the institution related to use of the resource (this will become a scope for authorization to access the resource at some future time).
A notification endpoint chosen entirely by the custodian for transparency in how the institution is interpreting the policy to issue each authorization.
A signature of the custodian
A signature of the institution that will issue the authorizations
A jusrisdiction for the contract,
This definition of consent is based on my amateur interpretation of international Agency Law. If we can agree on this, then the role of FHIR in capturing consent would be immensely clearer.
I think this maps well to what I have already created in the FHIR Consent resource:
I think you will find it matches quite well. With a few exceptions that we have not yet thought of (thanks for bringing them up), or things we might put into extensions due to the 80% rule.
That said, we can always improve. I welcome these constructive comments. I welcome suggestions for better name of the Resource (Consent) and better names and definitions for the element names.
I have already realized through discussions with Adrian, Oliver, Rob, Kathleen, and Lloyd that the model I have could be further simplified, extended, and clarified.
First generation FHIR Consent Scope
I would like to assert that we are focused on enabling a reasonable set of policy architectures and policy sets. What we create must degenerates nicely to support environments that want a simple indicator of opt-in, opt-out, none. But we want to go a bit further, we want also to support opt-in with some reasonable exceptions, and opt-out with some reasonable exceptions. Where these exceptions are only those currently implemented: List of objects, List of authors, List of recipients, List of Organizations, List of purposeOfUse, and Date Range. --- This scope is however not properly said so far, but I would be glad to indicate it or a sub-set as the goal.
Improvement Opportunity:
1. Simplify Actor to the specific kinds of actors in a consent. using specific elements, not a list with type.
1.a) Be specific about recipients, and allow device to be a recipient. Where recipient is a named identity of something that is given authority under the consent.
2. Simplify the attachment to just one, no need to differentiate between legal and friendly today. Maybe in the future
3. Simplify to remove the rule element. Possibly move it to extension
4. Add exceptions for date-range
5. Make the exception more clear

A turning point for Privacy in America?
Out this week by Pew Research is this article that I find so amazing while at the same time there are so many instances where the public appears to be willfully giving away their Privacy. The Pew Research output says enough. Not much more I can say, except I am excited we might be turning the corner. Here is just the first paragraph, where it is clear no turning point has yet happened, but an awareness is! An awareness of many of the Privacy Principles, not just confidentiality.
The cascade of reports following the June 2013 government surveillance revelations by NSA contractor Edward Snowden have brought new attention to debates about how best to preserve Americans' privacy in the digital age. At the same time, the public has been awash with news stories detailing security breaches at major retailers, health insurance companies and financial institutions. These events – and the doubts they inspired – have contributed to a cloud of personal "data insecurity" that now looms over many Americans' daily decisions and activities. Some find these developments deeply troubling and want limits put in place, while others do not feel these issues affect them personally. Others believe that widespread monitoring can bring some societal benefits in safety and security or that innocent people should have "nothing to hide."

Grahame challenged us all to think about a realistic use-case for blockchain technology in Healthcare.
Blockchain is a hugely hyped technology, because of the excitement of bitcoin. The technology is really not new, it is just a special mixture of crypto technologies, not unlike Digital Certificates; except rather than proof through decoupled proofs, blockchain has a public ledger where transactions must be recorded with proof that the transaction happened.
The magic of Bitcoin is that it creates value as it is used, and this created value supports the financial burden of the infrastructure/technology. One might even argue that bitcoin is approaching a nexus where the value created is not worth the burden ; and that this could cause the whole thing to collapse (like a pyramid scheme -- but I didn't say that)
What is very important to point out is that blockchain is PUBLIC, and PERSISTENT. Meaning we can't put sensitive information there. We can't put data there that needs to be corrected. Thus putting healthcare information onto the blockchain is just not going to happen. Sure we can encrypt it, but that doesn't use the blockchain. What you put on the blockchain can't be revoked, it is persistently in the public view. So we also have to be very careful. Bitcoin isn't worried about this because these are exactly what it needs, it is a public journal of transactions and these need to exist forever.
So we can either figure out was to use the bitcoin system, where we primary focus on the monetary value; which is useful. Some have proposed ways that insurance, or at-least a trust-fund, could be used to pay for medical procedures. Including putting executable script into the blockchain that expresses when the money would be released.
I however think that the real challenge Grahame is putting forth is can we use the blockchain technology to build a uniquely Healthcare blockchain? For this we need to solve the fundimental funding problem, that is how do we financially support this blockchain?
I might suggest that a potential solution is as a journal of public pseudonyms linked to data access points (FHIR API) and authorization servers. The chain would assert (signature) the authenticity and pseudo-provenance of the data. While also enabling accessibility under he control of that data owner's control (UMA/OAuth). The patient would initiate this, get their pseudonym, scrub their data as much as they want while still adhering to structure (FHIR profile) and integrity (hard to enforce) rules.
The important part about this is that it addresses the Identity problem; in that patient controls the identity. This can't start from the provider (although they can participate upstream). These identities are opaque, verifiable, and permanent. All the attributes that bitcoin leverage. The patient can choose to be known, by linking their blockchain identifier to their Patient resource; or they can choose to publish a pseudo-Patient resource.
This leverages FHIR as the API; and UMA as the decision engine and source of disclosure rules... So everything that we are working toward in the standards is still needed.
Fraud is still a problem. Not in use of the data, as I covered that; but in publishing false data. This system doesn't address a malicious individual that invents healthcare data and publishes it for value. One individual could invent millions of data and pseudonyms; thus poisoning the actual big-data pool. Solution might be that some set of authorities do strong identity proofing prior to issuing a pseudonym... so, someone other than the patient knows the true identity... ugg.
This is inspired by the "New Deal on Data"; an effort to build massive big-data while having sufficient rules around abuse.

Last week I posted about the stalemate on Consent, Grahame challenged me to complete it by the end of the week. This week I put a proposal forward. I have taken the examples that have been presented to the HL7 CBCC committee, and created a Consent resource. I did take as much of the Contract resource as was needed by these examples, however I customized them specifically for Consent. This also means many elements are not needed.
I also simplified many elements to just those that our examples need. This does not mean that we won't need to bring back these elements, but rather that they are not needed by the examples.
This is the critical 'Agile' method that I was wanting to use, vs the method of building everything that might ever be needed by an infinite set of imagination. This Agile methodology is a bit more than is required by the FHIR Principles, but is very much a good methodology to assure the focus on implementations and the 80% rule is adhered to.
The important part is that we are hearing from those on the outside (you are all welcome to come inside) that what we have done is too hard to understand, too hard to use, and confusing.
This means that if someone thinks something is missing, they first must describe an example, possibly showing how it can't be encoded today and how they think the model should be improved. This will result in incremental improvement and advancement of the model.
Note I also renamed 'term' to 'except' as the way we are using it in Consent is to list the exceptions to the rule at the base of the consent. Thus it is not all the terms, just the exceptions. This works for both Positive and Negative Consent - Opt-IN with exceptions (exceptions are things not allowed); and OPT-OUT with exceptions (exceptions are things that are allowed).
So, I present the FIRST DRAFT (yes, I expect many improvement opportunities)
This is Consent Resource
Vs Contract Resource
6.7.3 General Model
The following is the general model of Privacy Consent Directives.
There are context setting parameters:
Who - The patient
What - The topic - all or specific resources are listed
Where - The domain and authority - what is the location boundary and authority boundary of this consent
When - The issued and applies - When was this captured and over what timeframe does it apply
How - The actions and actor - What actions are covered, what actors are covered. (such as purposes of use that are covered)
There are set of patterns.
No consent: All settings need a policy for when no consent has been captured. Often this allows treatment only.;
Opt-out: No sharing allowed for the specified domain, location, actions, and purposes;
Opt-out with exceptions: No sharing allowed, with some exceptions where it is allowed. Example: Withhold Authorization for Treatment except for Emergency Treatment;
Opt-in: Sharing for some purpose of use is authorized Sharing allowed for Treatment, Payment, and normal Operations; and
Opt-in with restrictions: Sharing allowed, but the patient may make exceptions (See the Canadian examples).
For each of these patterns (positive or negative pattern), there can be exceptions. These exceptions are explicitly recorded in the except element.
6.7.4 Realm specifics
6.7.4.1 US Realm sample Use-Cases
Five categories of Privacy Consent Directives are described in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information (ONC) Consent Directives Document released March 31, 2010, and include the following US-specific "Core consent options" for electronic exchange:
No consent: Health information of patients is automatically included—patients cannot opt out;
Opt-out: Default is for health information of patients to be included automatically, but the patient can opt out completely;
Opt-out with exceptions: Default is for health information of patients to be included, but the patient can opt out completely or allow only select data to be included;
Opt-in: Default is that no patient health information is included; patients must actively express consent to be included, but if they do so then their information must be all in or all out; and
Opt-in with restrictions: Default is that no patient health information is made available, but the patient may allow a subset of select data to be included.
6.7.4.2 Canada Realm sample Use-Cases
The following scenarios are based on existing jurisdictional policy and are realized in existing systems in Canada. The default policy is one of implied consent for the provision of care, so these scenarios all deal with withdrawal or withholding consent for that purpose. In other jurisdictions, where an express consent model is used (Opt-In), these would examples would contain the phrase "consent to" rather than "withhold" or "withdraw" consent for.
Withhold or withdraw consent for disclosure of records related to specific domain (e.g. DI, LAB, etc.)
Withhold or withdraw consent for disclosure of a specific record (e.g. Lab Order/Result)
Withhold or withdraw consent for disclosure to a specific provider organization
Withhold or withdraw consent for disclosure to a specific provider agent (an individual within an organization)
Withhold or withdraw consent for disclosure of records that were authored by a specific organization (or service delivery location).
Combinations of the above
6.7.4.3 Non Treatment Use-Cases
Also shown is an example where a Patient has authorized disclosure to a specific individual for purposes directed by the patient (possibly not a treatment case).
End-to-end FHIR testing
There is renewed discussion, much like back in January, around the need to go beyond testing just the FHIR Resource 'interoperability'. Testing Interoperability is not easy, and there are struggles with getting this first level testing done right. But this level testing is not complete enough to give confidence that an application, server, intermediary, analytics engine, or other are really ready to be used.
What we need is a higher level specification to focus on. I think the HL7 "Implementation Guide" could be this, but I am thinking something much higher than is normally documented by HL7. This because what is needed is not a "Standard", but a "Reference System". A 'system' in the broadest of definitions. A system as in a system of systems in a defined environment, and policy framework.
A reference system of systems:
I think it is possible to have a "reference system of systems' as a proof of completeness, that could be used during connectathons and certification.
This reference system needs to pick a minimum-useful set of FHIR resource centric workflows. The 'minimum' part of this is so as to have an end-to-end workflow, but also to not have the end-to-end workflow be the center of attention.
This is more than just a selection of FHIR Resources. One can show that any one client can 'communicate' with itself through storing and retrieving a Resource on a FHIR Server. This does prove that there is connectivity, but not Interoperability.
Interoperability requires that one can not just communicate but also use the result. Thus it needs an end-to-end workflow where each actor has more than communication as a responsibility. Each actor must do something useful. At least the receivers of data must do something useful. The FHIR Server might just be an intelligent, and important carrier of data.
This reference system of systems needs to pick a specific 'setting'. The setting is the environment being simulated. Again it isn't to declare a best-practice, but simply a reasonable reference. There are an infinite set of settings that healthcare is ultimately working in. We need to pick one.
What is important in this 'reference' system is to then define a set of reference policies. These policies are not held-up as best-practice, but rather 'one reasonable practice'. These policies would include Privacy Policies, Security Policies, data retention policies, service level policies. Where policies include Privacy policies, Security policies, authentication policies, audit logging policies, audit reporting policies, data retention policies, service level agreement policies. Also identity policies, like what is a User, and their roles, and their relationships. What is a Patient, with what quality of demographics, cross-reference matching criteria, linking and unlinking responsibilities.
These are not best-practice policies, but rather simply realistic-policy that is representative of reality. Reality is that there is an infinite set of policies too, even an infinite set of realistic policies.
A more controversial aspect might be User Experience expectations. Expectations that might be broad, so as to define just usability goals. How fast can a brand new user understand how to use the system?
All the non-standard stuff
From this combination of a minimal-useful FHIR workflow, environmental setting, and a set of policies; you can then fill the middle with some specific configurations of services. So you define a single Authentication service, choosing one OAuth service with a set of enforcement policies. You choose a consent management system, from the many being defined (FHIR Consent, UMA consent, paper consent, etc). You define an expectation of what security events would be recorded in an AuditEvent, would likely even include actor that does auditEvent reporting. You define response-time expectations.
A complete system... as a reference system... not as a 'best-practice'.
Doing the work
Back in January I proposed Document Sharing - ala MHD profile centric; which got shot down by HL7 leadership due to the fact I proposed it in the HSI workgroup. ... I failed, should have pursued a solution. HL7 Project Scope Statement 1231
Argonaught could do similar using their flavor of DAF.
CommonWell could do this.
Any organization that can take a two steps away from the standards definition could do this. It is not unlike what every HIE, Hospital, Clinic, and PHR must do. The difference is that you are explicitly defining it as a reference system; not as the ONLY system.
HEART can be used, but is, like FHIR, just one part of the system. HEART can't do it alone as they don't have the end-to-end workflow. They don't have the setting context. The HEART profiles would be something included in the reference system.
Focus on end-to-end system of systems
The hard part is that no-one will agree on these Setting and Policy choices. Yet, the specifics of the setting and policies are not important. What is important is setting someting reasonable so that the next stage can be set.
I hope I can participate...
For the past year there has been a stalemate that I have tried to control. I think it is time for this stalemate to come to a conclusion. The topic is Patient Privacy Consent; the discussion is if this should be modeled as a core FHIR Resource, or as a core FHIR Profile upon the Contract Resource.
The owner of this discussion is the Community Based Collaborative Care (CBCC) workgroup. This workgroup has produced the CDA Consent Directive, and the original Privacy domain model. The Security workgroup is the one that has the infrastructure to decide and enforce Access Control. Thus the two workgroups work together on this topic. With the CBCC workgroup focusing on how to capture a Patient Privacy Consent, and the Security workgroup focusing on how to enforce this. I am co-chair of the security workgroup and an active member in CBCC. There are other factors that I won't cover.
When we first started to model Privacy Consent Directive in FHIR, we had just finished (mostly finished) the CDA Privacy Consent Directive. So we had fresh knowledge of what was needed. As we started to do initial modeling, aka working with napkins, we came to a general consensus that what we would end up with would be much like a Contract. There were some that were insistent that this would be perfectly true, while others preferred to just do a Consent.
We took the path of those that were actively involved, vs those that were passive. A moment that I really would like to have changed. But this is exactly the "consensus" process... so any one complaining, simply needs to get actively involved, being more passive is not helpful. Standards are not built by the passive aggressive.
There was an attempt to address this in the Paris Workgroup Meeting; but CBCC didn't formally meet, and thus all the efforts of the community that went to Paris were ignored.
So now we have a Privacy Consent Directive -- Implementation Guide; which is a Profile of the Contract Resource. It is working.articles show that it does respond to the use-cases. It however is not as simple as it could be. This statement is not a statement that the Profile system doesn't work, but a Profile is a layer of complexity. Further because of this Profiling layer we end up with concepts in Contract that are not what would be thought of by those wanting to do a Consent.(Like Contract.topic, Contract.action, Contract.subject).
I vote for Agile:
I would like us to start over, I would like a Privacy Consent Directive "Resource" to be defined. Break away from Contract. This does not mean that we loose all the good work we have done, but it does mean we start over.
Use Agile. I want this effort to use Agile, and NOT use a top-down approach. That is to focus on real-world use-cases, and build the Consent Resource only with what is necessary to build. There is no need to build complex layers, when simple layers will do.
This Agile approach does not mean we ignore good available standards. ISO/TS 17975 -- "Health informatics - Principles and data requirements for consent in the Collection, Use or Disclosure of personal health information" is a fine foundation, along with the work HL7 has done on the CDA Consent Directive. I simply want these to be seen as foundational, and not seen as a demand for some preordained structure.
ISO/TS 17975 has a very simple abstract model of what a consent record should include
— identify the sender, recipient and subject of care,
— include the Purpose of Use or set of purposes which are permitted to be collected and used or disclosed,
— specify the activity permitted: Collection and Use and/or Disclosure,
— include the validity date range,
— be linked directly to the data to which it applies,
— persist with the data to which it applies, and
— be secured in order to preserve confidentiality, integrity, availability in order to provide proof of authenticity of the process and the consent record.
Most of that we get free with the FHIR RESTful model; and simple data elements.
The real work
What we don't get free is the part that we haven't even started to model. The way that the RULES would be encoded. The above is just the part that identifies the broad meta; the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY. This does not address the HOW rules. How do I describe the kind of data I want protected in a kind of way from a kind of people...
More on this topic, when I cover what IHE has just finished - for Public Comment - on the Advanced Patient Privacy Consent (APPC) -- the next generation from Basic Patient Privacy Consent (BPPC).
I have been unfortunate to have been caught in a broad layoff -- Reduction In Force -- at GE Healthcare. GE Healthcare has been my home for just short of 18 years, and I have loved every minute of it. I have been part of many product, either directly on the team or through consulting with them on the use of Interoperability Standards, Privacy, and Security. These have been fantastically fun exercises in Systems Design.
I have the luxury of taking my time to find a new opportunity. Over the last two months I have spoken to some of you, and your excitement for my list of opportunities has been very gratifying. Over the next few months I will reach out to others, and welcome you reaching out to me.
I describe myself as a System Engineer, Principal Engineering Architect; but am most excited to help enable Privacy respecting Information Exchange. This might be between two healthcare practicing organizations, this might be centered on a Patient managed system, this might be for the purposes of Research. My passion wants to get data moving to where the stakeholder of that data wants it to go, and move it most efficiently, effectively, and accurately. This means using Interoperability Standards, developing new standards, and working with leadership.
I know there are many opportunities for me as a Consultant, however I would like to find a vendor that has grown up over the past few years and now realizes that they need to take an active role in standards development, possibly a leadership role. I could build their program and fill many of the roles. I come with two leadership positions within HL7, and less formal leadership in IHE and DICOM. I am thankful of HL7 for having a nice transition program that allows me to maintain my membership and thus positions for a short time.

Stephen Reid
Stephen Reid began writing in 1984 while serving a 21-year prison sentence for his role as a member of the "Stopwatch Gang", so named for their ability to rob banks and armoured cars in less than two minutes. During his sentence, he submitted a manuscript to Susan Musgrave, then writer-in-residence at the University of Waterloo. This developed into an ongoing correspondence, and Reid and Musgrave were married in 1986 at Kent Institution. Reid also published his only novel, Jackrabbit Parole, that year. He has taught creative writing, worked as a youth counselor, and served on boards such as the John Howard Society, Prison Arts Foundation, PEN Canada, Spirit of the People and the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons.
A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden
Stephen Reid has grown old in prison and seen more than his share of its solitude, its vicious cycles, and its subculture relationships. He has participated in the economics of contraband, the incredible escapes, the intimacies of torture, the miscarriages of justice, and witnessed the innocent souls whose childhood destinies doomed them to prison life.
He has learned that everything is bearable, that the painful separation of family, children, and friend is tolerable, and that sorrow must be kept close, buried in a secret garden of the self, if one is to survive and give others who love you hope. Within his writing runs the motif that his prison life has never been far from his drug additions, but the junkie or drunk who has some straight time and means to stay that way knows a lot about the way we really live, think, feel, hope, and desire in this country.
Each of the essays in this collection is a recognition of how Reid's imprisonment has shaped his life. Some describe his fractured boyhood and the escalation in crimes that led to his imprisonment, others detail the seductive rush and notoriety of the criminal life. There are the regrets too of how his choices have impacted the lives of his daughters, wife and family. But in each essay the refrain is "prison life", whether it is measuring the integrity of the books in the prison library, the violence and primal intimidation inherent in all-male communities, or the torment and solace of solitary confinement.

Current and upcoming massive astronomical surveys are expected to discover a torrent of objects, which need groundbased follow-up observations to characterize their nature. For transient objects in particular, rapid early and efficient spectroscopic identification is needed. In particular, a small-field Integral Field Unit (IFU) would mitigate traditional slit losses and acquisition time. To this end, we present the design of a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) multi-purpose spectrograph camera capable of running in several modes: traditional longslit, small-field patrol IFU, multi-object and full-field IFU mode via Hadamard spectra reconstruction. AIUC Optical multi-purpose CAMera (AIUCOCAM) is a low-resolution spectrograph camera of R~1,600 covering the spectral range of 0.45-0.85 μm. We employ a VPH grating as a disperser, which is removable to allow an imaging mode. This spectrograph is envisioned for use on a 1-2 m class telescope in Chile to take advantage of good site conditions. We present design decisions and challenges for a costeffective robotized spectrograph. The resulting instrument is remarkably versatile, capable of addressing a wide range of scientific topics.
The Multi-Object Optical and Near-Infrared Spectrograph (MOONS) will exploit the full 500 square arcmin field of view offered by the Nasmyth focus of the Very Large Telescope and will be equipped with two identical triple arm cryogenic spectrographs covering the wavelength range 0.64μm-1.8μm, with a multiplex capability of over 1000 fibres. This can be configured to produce spectra for chosen targets and have close proximity sky subtraction if required. The system will have both a medium resolution (R~4000-6000) mode and a high resolution (R~20000) mode. The fibre positioning units are used to position each fibre independently in order to pick off each sub field of 1.0" within a circular patrol area of ~85" on sky (50mm physical diameter). The nominal physical separation between FPUs is 25mm allowing a 100% overlap in coverage between adjacent units. The design of the fibre positioning units allows parallel and rapid reconfiguration between observations. The kinematic geometry is such that pupil alignment is maintained over the patrol area. This paper presents the design of the Fibre Positioning Units at the preliminary design review and the results of verification testing of the advanced prototypes.
The Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph (MOONS) will cover the Very Large Telescope's (VLT) field of view with 1000 fibres. The fibres will be mounted on fibre positioning units (FPU) implemented as two-DOF robot arms to ensure a homogeneous coverage of the 500 square arcmin field of view. To accurately and fast determine the position of the 1000 fibres a metrology system has been designed. This paper presents the hardware and software design and performance of the metrology system. The metrology system is based on the analysis of images taken by a circular array of 12 cameras located close to the VLTs derotator ring around the Nasmyth focus. The system includes 24 individually adjustable lamps. The fibre positions are measured through dedicated metrology targets mounted on top of the FPUs and fiducial markers connected to the FPU support plate which are imaged at the same time. A flexible pipeline based on VLT standards is used to process the images. The position accuracy was determined to ~5 μm in the central region of the images. Including the outer regions the overall positioning accuracy is ~25 μm. The MOONS metrology system is fully set up with a working prototype. The results in parts of the images are already excellent. By using upcoming hardware and improving the calibration it is expected to fulfil the accuracy requirement over the complete field of view for all metrology cameras.
We use the ALMA Common Software (ACS) to establish a unified middleware for robotic observations with the 40cm Optical, 80cm Infrared and 1.5m Hexapod telescopes located at OCA (Observatorio Cerro Armazones) and the ESO 1-m located at La Silla. ACS permits to hide from the observer the technical specifications, like mount-type or camera-model. Furthermore ACS provides a uniform interface to the different telescopes, allowing us to run the same planning program for each telescope. Observations are carried out for long-term monitoring campaigns to study the variability of stars and AGN. We present here the specific implementation to the different telescopes.


Participation in team sports and athletic activities has numerous benefits for young people. In addition to promoting physical fitness, sports can boost their self-esteem and help them develop discipline, form new friendships, and learn the value of collaboration and teamwork.
Injuries do happen, though, and it can be taxing on a dedicated sports participant. The Young Athlete Program at HSS seeks to raise awareness of good practices for injury prevention. When working with a teen who has come in for physical therapy, for example, we take a comprehensive approach, addressing all factors that affect the injury. Getting stronger overall leads to a quicker recovery and being in good condition can help prevent injuries if a teen does get hurt.
While certain injuries are more common in specific sports, good practices overall promote safety. The first step, and a requirement at most schools before the season begins, is a thorough physical exam and medical clearance to certify that a young athlete has no underlying health problems or injuries.
Make sure the athlete is going into the season in good shape and prepared. They should progressively increase athletic activity prior to beginning the season and continue with a progressive increase as the sports season begins, rather than a sudden big change in activity.
Players should warm up properly to prepare the body for the intensity of practices and games. Light jogging, agility drills and dynamic activities that emphasize flexibility such as high knee jogging, leg swings and inchworms, are the recipe for a proper warm up.
Keep in mind that there's no such thing as a mild concussion. Signs of a concussion include headaches, light sensitivity, appearing confused and clumsiness. Symptoms may not be fully apparent immediately but can worsen slowly over time. Any player suspected of having a concussion needs to stop participation at that moment and then be evaluated by a doctor.
Athletes should be educated on the rules of the game: make sure they understand their role and position to avoid being in harm's way.
You can't underestimate the benefits of regular exercise and team sports for young people. Using these tips to prevent injury will keep them on the field safely.

If you go to Barcelona do NOT fly iwth Iberia Airlines. It is a disgrace to Spain to have them as a national airlines. 'Propper' airline fares and service only Ryanair would be happy with.
Thanks for the tip - flown with Air France once and vowed never to fly again, they were appalling. We had paid extra money to ensure we got a seat on that flight, but because of their compulsory over booking our seat was taken, even though we arrived for check-in well within time.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman participated in his first practice in over two months on Tuesday, and it didn't take long for the 2015 first-round pick to take his first shot of the year.
"Who is the new guy," linebacker Terrell Suggs said when spotting Perriman. "Can he play?"
Perriman, the No. 26 overall player taken a year ago, was on the field for the first time since partially tearing the anterior cruciate ligament on June 9. Not wearing a brace on that left knee, he showed little effects from the knee injury in running routes and making cuts.
Though he wasn't running at full speed, he showed no hesitation in any of the drills. It did appear that Perriman had a slight limp when he was walking in between drills.
During the media viewing portion of practice, Perriman only participated in individual drills. He ran routes and cut around cones for about 20 minutes while the rest of the team worked on special teams. Perriman later caught passes in the red zone from all four quarterbacks, including Joe Flacco. There were a couple of times when Perriman caught the ball with one hand.
The next challenge for Perriman is to get into football shape, according to coach John Harbaugh. It's unknown whether Perriman will play in Saturday's preseason game.


Pancreatic cancer is the fifth highest cancer killer in Australia, has the lowest survival rate of all the major cancers and the lowest awareness. Yet almost nobody is talking about it.
Pancreatic cancer has no field of women, no pink ladies, no "mo bros", no celebrity endorsements – and the Pancare Foundation receives zero government funding.
There's no question it's the "Unfashionable Cancer".
The survival rate for pancreatic cancer hasn't changed significantly for 40 years, which in this era of modern medicine is a major concern.
Our newest International Ambassador, Nelson Aspen has joined the fight against pancreatic cancer.
He's committed to increasing awareness of this extremely worthy but woefully underfunded cause. We need your help too.
"I hope I can use some of my Australian "good standing" to generate the kind of buzz that Pancare needs in order to raise funds to help the 3000 Australians diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year".
Help us bring the survival rate into the 21st century! Donate now.
Why have you decided to become an ambassador for the Pancare Foundation in Australia?
Pancreatic cancer is the fifth-highest cancer killer in Australia. But nobody knows about it. Through the Pancare Foundation, I learned that of all the major cancers, it has the lowest survival rate of just 7%, has very low awareness. So when they approached me to be their ambassador, I immediately wanted to be involved.
How does it feel to be an ambassador for such a worthy cause?
I'm thrilled to be involved with such a worthy cause like pancreatic cancer. It's a deadly disease that is woefully underfunded and doesn't receive the attention it needs to raise money. It's also an honour that the Pancare Foundation would consider me as the voice to spread awareness and share their story.
What does it mean for you to support causes such as this?
Pancreatic cancer is not just another "trendy" cause. Just the opposite. Which is why we're calling it "The Unfashionable Cancer." The Pancare Foundation receives no government funding and is out there fighting to bring the survival rate into the 21st century.
For me, helping others is something I'm extremely passionate about and I've been involved with a number of charitable programs not only back home, but here in Australia as well.
I hope I can use some of my Australian "good standing" to generate the kind of buzz that Pancare needs in order to raise funds to help the 3000 Australians diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year.
What do you think of your celebrity status in Australia?
I've always had a long running love affair with Australia. I'm fortunate to have such a great relationship with the industry here, as I'm currently in my 13th year as Show Business Editor for "Sunrise".

Naragasooran actor Arvind Swami: Karthick Naren has a Manoj Night Shyamalan-like thinking
June 3rd, 2019 admin Main
I was not present here when Roja released. He taught me everything. He was very clear about it. Was it always the plan? He was the one who brought me here. What do you have to say about Mani Ratnam? Actually, Mani Ratnam brought me back with the film Kadal. He is the reason I am in the profession. He said, 'You should play the character without any justification.' The project is always important. I don't mind playing a negative or a positive character. Any retirement plans? And he inspired me to make a comeback. Very interesting. I promised to go for higher studies after two years and that actually happened. I did my masters after Roja. You will have to talk to him.' So, he came and convinced my father because my father wanted me to complete my higher studies first. I find their thought process and the choices they make very interesting. He didn't want me to establish a career in the film industry. I want to be closer to nature, in a remote place, with my wife. After that, I continued (as an actor.)
What is next for you? He said, 'We will start in two-three days.' So, I told him, 'I don't know if my dad would allow me to come. 0
Comment(s) I always think about my contribution and about how I can take my character forward. Arvind Swami appeared on Famously Filmfare Tamil, which is currently streaming on MXPlayer. Is that true? I had told my parents that I will not make acting my profession and will go for higher studies. I am going to direct a film this year. For Roja, he had to convince your parents as well. You played an antagonist in Bogan and Thani Oruvan. I always wished to do a negative role; so when Mohan Raja narrated me the script, I found potential in that. Popular Photos

(The first time) I gave the audition and it was okay. New generation filmmakers have a new outlook and execution skills. Advertising
It's good. I think he has got great potential. I don't even mind short screen time. It is very heart-warming (to see that.) So, I thank them. He gave me the opportunity to develop the character. But after a year, I had to come back. I did not think of making a comeback. After that, I did films like Thani Oruvan and Bogan, which were well-appreciated. Karthick is a great director with a brilliant mind. Advertising
How was it working with a young director like Karthick Naren for Naragasooran? His screenplay sense is amazing and in my point of view, he has got a Manoj Night Shyamalan-like thinking. He brought you in the industry twice.

The freeze stat is a safety switch that is used in almost all commercial and industrial air-handling units, cabinet unit heaters, unit ventilators, and blower units that have chilled water and/or hot water coils.
This switch will open or close its contacts when the temperature across the water coil drops below a preset setpoint. That setpoint typically is 38?F.
The freeze stat may also have more than one set of contacts in itself. Those contacts do not always have to be normally open (NO). They can be normally closed (NC).
The freeze stat is easy to understand on paper, because it is nothing more than a switch that will open if the air moving across the water coil should drop below a given setpoint. But there are so many brands and types of freeze stats, it is important that you understand them and how they are wired into the circuit to function properly.
Let's take a walk back in time and try to envision how the first freeze protection devices worked. Back when pneumatic controls were king, we used low-limit thermostats that passed the signal air pressure if the air across the water coil dropped below the adjustable setpoint. Notice, it was the signal air that passed; when that happened, the other pneumatic controls would all be affected.
How? All control systems are designed to fail and they always will. We don't wish for it to happen, but it does. When the low-limit thermostat (freeze stat) passed air, because the discharge air across the coil was cold, the hot water valve would lose pressure, which would cause it to open the full flow of water to the coil.
Can you picture that happening? The low limit passed air and the hot water valve went full open. Add more to your picture, the cold water valve is going to close off flow to its coil and the outside air dampers and return air dampers are all going to lose their signal air, as well as the pneumatic relay located in the starter for the fan motor.
The outside air dampers would close off fully.
The return air dampers would open fully.
The supply and return fans would shut down.
All of this happened because when the controls were installed, they were done this way in case the system failed.
These low-limit stats are still in use. In fact, most government facilities still have pneumatics, so they still have low-limit controls.
You may be a bit confused because the low-limit sensor only has one pneumatic line to it. That pneumatic line is just "teed" into the signal line. That is all that is needed. We want it there to pass the signal air in case the mixed air or discharge air should become cold enough to possibly freeze the water coils.
Fast forward to today's controls and the use of electric freeze stats. We now have electrical contacts that close or open when the air temperature across the water coil should drop below an adjustable setpoint.
A simple freeze stat can have only one set of contacts that are normally closed (NC). You wire this freeze stat into your safety circuit to shut the system down should the air temperature drop below the setpoint in the freeze stat.
One very important thing to remember about all freeze stats is that their sensors are averaging sensors, not remote bulb. The sensor may look like a bulb-type sensor, but it is very important that you install all of the sensor into the airstream against the water coil. Why? Because it is an averaging sensor, which means that if you only put half of the sensor into the unit airstream and leave the other half out of the unit, all coiled up nice and neat, if there is a problem, your coil will freeze and the freeze stat will never know it. Only half of your sensor was in the coil or airstream, while the rest was outside the unit, nice and warm.
Today, most freeze stats have more than one set of contacts, which can be either NO or NC. It is far cheaper to install one multi-contact freeze stat into your unit than to install several single-pole freeze stats because you need the contacts. With current control systems and the way they are wired, the freeze stat is an efficient safety control to install in any type of unit.
Picture this: You have an air handler with hot and cold water coils.
The freeze stat would be installed in between the two coils, and it would be installed so that it stretches across the entire coil at least once, if not twice.
You need two sets of contacts for safety in this freeze stat. For the first set of contacts, you want NC and you are going to wire the safety circuit from the fire alarm NC circuit over to the starter for the fan motor in your air handler.
You are also installing a direct digital control (ddc) system, so you will need to use an NO set of contacts from the same freeze stat, and you will wire those contacts back to your controller's input.
So far you have not installed any wires from the freeze stat to either of the control valves, hot water or cold water. These valves have been piped into the system so that if they should fail, the hot water valve will open fully to flow into the coil, and the cold water valve will close off flow to the coil. These valve actuators are being controlled from the same controller you wired your freeze stat into.
Now picture this: You are doing your start-up on this unit and its controls.
Upon tripping the freeze stat, the NC contacts open, which will shut your fan down, just like you wanted it to. Also, the NO contacts close, which will complete the circuit back into your controller's inputs.
At the time that your controller receives the input that the freeze stat tripped, it will stop sending its signal to your valve and damper actuators, which will have them all FAIL to their CLOSED positions.
The hot water valve will go fully open, the cold water valve will go fully closed, the outside air dampers will have closed off completely, the return air dampers will have failed fully open, and the supply fan will have shut down.
One little touch of the reset button on your freeze stat, and everything returns to normal. The test is complete.
One final note: The freeze stat may have more than two sets of contacts — they can have several — and like a relay, those contacts could either be NO or NC. So, always remember to truly understand how the freeze stat you are about to use works.

It just might win.
If you're someone who never backs down during an argument, then you might not like IBM's newest artificial intelligence system, Project Debater.
Equipped with a machine learning algorithm and deep neural networks, the system can pull in data from millions of sources like articles and papers from journals to construct an argument. From there, it creates a narrative it thinks will be convincing in order to win the debate.
"It has to be able to understand language in a way that will enable it to figure out what are arguments that support its stance of the debate," said Dr. Ranit Aharonov, Manager of the Project Debater Team.
These aren't just theoretical arguments either. The system won against a experienced human debater during a live debate and was able to convince a portion of the audience to switch their positions.
The IBM team hopes Project Debater and the technology behind it will eventually be used to help people get better insights about important topics.

New York State Senator
Brad Hoylman
Chairman of Committee on Judiciary
( D, WF ) 27th Senate District
message senator
As the Anniversary of the January 6 Insurrection Approaches, Senator Brad Hoylman Introduces Bill to Hold Tech Companies Accountable for Promoting Vaccine Misinformation & Hate Speech on Social Media
Combating Hate Speech
COMBATING COVID-19 VACCINE MISINFORMATION
senator brad hoylman
NEW YORK— In the week before the anniversary of the notorious January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and as vaccine hesitancy continues to fuel the Omicron variant, Senator Brad Hoylman (D/WFP-Manhattan) announced new legislation (S.7568) to hold social media platforms accountable for knowingly promoting disinformation, violent hate speech, and other unlawful content that could harm others. While Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act protects social media platforms from being treated as publishers or speakers of content shared by users on their apps and websites, this legislation instead focuses on the active choices these companies make when implementing algorithms designed to promote the most controversial and harmful content, which creates a general threat to public health and safety.
Senator Hoylman said: "Social media algorithms are specially programmed to spread disinformation and hate speech at the expense of the public good. The prioritization of this type of content has real life costs to public health and safety. So when social media push anti-vaccine falsehoods and help domestic terrorists plan a riot at the U.S. Capitol, they must be held accountable. Our new legislation will force social media companies to be held accountable for the dangers they promote."
For years, social companies have claimed protection from any legal consequences of their actions relating to content on their websites by hiding behind Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Social media websites are no longer simply a host for their users' content, however. Many social media companies employ complex algorithms designed to put the most controversial and provocative content in front of users as much as possible. These algorithms drive engagement with their platform, keep users hooked, and increase profits. Social media companies employing these algorithms are not an impassive forum for the exchange of ideas; they are active participants in the conversation.
In October 2021, Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee, provided shocking testimony to United State Senators alleging that the company knew of research proving that its product was harmful to teenagers but purposefully hid that research from the public. She also provided testimony that the company was willing to use hateful content to retain users on the social media website.
Social media amplification has been linked to many societal ills, including vaccine disinformation, encouragement of self-harm, bullying, and body-image issues among youth, and extremist radicalization leading to terrorist attacks like the January 6th insurrection against the U.S. Capitol.
When a website knowingly or recklessly promotes hateful or violent content, they create a threat to public health and safety. The conscious decision to elevate certain content is a separate, affirmative act from the mere hosting of information and therefore not contemplated by the protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.
This bill will provide a tool for the Attorney General, city corporation counsels, and private citizens to hold social media companies and others accountable when they promote content they know or reasonably should know the content:
Advocates for the use of force, is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and is likely to produce such action;
Advocates for self-harm, is directed to inciting or producing imminent self-harm, and is likely to incite or produce such action; or
Includes a false statement of fact or fraudulent medical theory that is likely to endanger the safety or health of the public.

Indian scientists battle journal retraction
K. S. Jayaraman
Government clears researchers accused of data manipulation
A high-profile case in India continues to escalate. A government committee has cleared a top cancer researcher and his group of wrongdoing after a US journal retracted their paper over charges of data manipulation. But India's ethics watchdog, the New Delhi-based Society for Scientific Values (SSV), charges the committee with "possible complicity" in attempting to save the reputation of an award-winning scientist and the image of a prominent government research institute.
The arguments centre on a 2005 paper in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC), which examined signalling pathways in the development of skin cancer (Rangaswami, H., Bulbule, A. & Kundu, G. C. J. Biol. Chem. 280, 19381–19392; 2005). It was authored by Gopal Kundu — 2004 winner of the India's highest honour in science, the Bhatnagar prize — and two colleagues at the National Centre for Cell Science (NCCS) in Pune.
The journal retracted the paper in February 2007 after an investigation prompted by an anonymous email. The authors were told that the paper contained "data that was reproduced without citation and with different labelling" from a paper the same group had published in 2004 (Rangaswami, H., Bulbule, A. & Kundu, G. C. J. Biol. Chem. 279, 38921–38935; 2004). Journal editors claimed the errors amounted to "deliberate misrepresentation".
Kundu and his team deny this, saying that both papers described similar experiments run on very similar cell types. "The apparent similarity between two loading control blots — out of the 100 or so blots in the papers — did not affect the conclusions in any way," adds first author Hema Rangaswami, now a postdoc at the University of California in San Diego. "We feel JBC's decision to withdraw our paper was totally unfair." But Shelagh Ferguson-Miller, chair of the publications committee for the journal's publisher, says that it does not plan to reconsider the paper's withdrawal.

Our detailed investigation shows there was no manipulation.
A seven-member committee, set up by the Department of Biotechnology, which oversees the NCCS, appears to back up Rangaswami's claims. In its 30 May report, the committee said the allegations were baseless. "Our detailed investigation shows there was no manipulation," says Govindarajan Padmanabhan, chairman of the committee. He adds that the journal did not analyse the researchers' raw data, but instead relied on image analysis of published figures. Padmanabhan says the committee plans to appeal to the journal to rescind the withdrawal.
But the SSV claims its own findings, released on 28 April, suggested that the group fabricated images in the second paper from blots in the first paper. Sohan Modak, a former member of the centre's governing council and whose complaint launched the SSV investigation, says he remains convinced the images are the same.
The jury may still be still out, but Kundu has already paid a price. His nomination to the fellowship of the Indian National Science Academy has been held up. And Rangaswami's PhD hangs in the balance: she has not yet been called to defend her thesis at Pune University.

Ralph Berndt
Home › Experience › Heroes › Ralph Berndt
Legendary builder and tuner for four-time Grand National Champion Carroll Resweber and other racers
Ralph Berndt was a preeminent race tuner of the 1950s and '60s. Carroll Resweber won four consecutive AMA Grand National Championships riding Berndt-tuned Harley-Davidsons. In all, Berndt machines won 28 AMA nationals with riders Resweber and George Roeder. Berndt worked at the Harley-Davidson factory, but most of his racing activity was done independently of the factory.
Berndt was born on September 12, 1921, in Merrill, Wisconsin. His father owned an auto garage and that started Berndt's interest in all things mechanical. His love of motorcycles began in the 1930s after he saw a local man riding a bike through his hometown's streets. Against his mother's wishes, Berndt bought his first motorcycle just before being called off to the military during World War II. Showing great patriotic fervor, Berndt's mother donated his motorcycle to the war effort (unbeknownst to Ralph) while Ralph was serving in Italy. Berndt was greatly distressed when he heard that his bike had been given away, but his agony was somewhat relieved when his unit captured some German motorcycles in Italy. His commander had heard of Berndt's mom's patriotic act and allowed Ralph to keep one of the German bikes during the remainder of his tour.
After the war, Berndt went to work in the Harley-Davidson factory in Milwaukee. He and his wife, Carol, lived in an upper flat of a duplex just blocks from the Harley factory. Berndt worked early on in the frame department and at night he spent countless hours improving on Harley-Davidson's KR racing motor. He made his own cams, developed the port and head configuration on his homemade flow bench and tinkered with frame geometry.
In the mid-1950s, Berndt began building bikes for an up-and-coming Texan novice rider named Carroll Resweber. The Resweber/Berndt pairing resulted in a remarkable four AMA Grand National Championships in a row for Resweber from 1958 through 1961. Resweber's four titles was a record in AMA Grand National racing that would last for nearly 40 years.
Resweber and his wife left Texas and moved in with the Berndts so he could be more centrally located to the AMA Grand National circuit. Racing was a family affair for the Berndts. Ralph's wife was very involved, helping to tear down motors and clean parts. She also sewed together torn racing leathers. Their five children all had tasks to perform as well, gathering bike stands, rolling out tires and finding oil filter covers so everything could be readied to pack into the motorcycle trailer. Berndt's daughter, Heidi, even learned the fine art of painting number plates from NASCAR legend Red Vogt, whose home was on the back straight of Daytona International Speedway.
Resweber was Berndt's winningest rider, but he also helped George Roeder come within a single point of winning the AMA Grand National Championship in 1963. Tony Murguia also won an AMA National Road Race in Indianapolis on a Ralph Berndt-tuned Harley-Davidson in 1962. Many other riders raced bikes with engines built by Berndt during the 1960s.
Berndt was one of the first mechanics to keep extensive notes on each track. Over the years, he learned to customize a motor's power curve, or exactly what angle to cut a tire specifically for a track, based on his pages of notes. He also learned to build frames that could maximize aerodynamics for individual riders based on their height and weight.
Berndt's philosophy in racing wasn't based so much on beating other competitors but finding perfection in his own machines.
His bikes were successful in dirt track racing as well as road racing. He even had a major hand in preparing a world speed record Harley-Davidson ridden by George Roeder at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Powered by a Harley-Davidson 250cc Sprint motor, a streamliner prepared by Berndt was piloted to a record speed of 177.225 mph by Roeder at the Salt Flats in 1965.
Berndt worked in Harley-Davidson's racing department and later in the company's research and development department until 1978 when he retired and turned his focus to his hobby of experimental aircraft. During his 30-plus years at the company, he passed on to many other engineers at Harley-Davidson his self-taught craft. One of the tuners he mentored was a young Bill Werner, who tuned for Scott Parker, the rider to break Carroll Resweber's AMA Grand National record of four straight titles.
In retirement, Berndt won engineering awards for designing a new type of retractable landing gear for experimental aircraft.
Berndt was modest about his success in building championship-winning motorcycles. He quietly worked behind the scenes while his riders garnered the praise. Still, the people inside racing knew how significant Berndt's contributions to the sport were.
Berndt died in September of 1992. Several of his motorcycles and some of his machining equipment live on and have been preserved at the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina.

Wolfgang Hoeschele has an interesting diagram in his book The Economics of Abundance (p. 149) , of which this is a modified version. The explanation, adapted from his book, are below.
"Many of our current property rights are designed either to allow a small number of people to monopolize those resource (imposing scarcity on everyone else), or to promote their unsustainable use (creating extreme resource scarcity for future generations). If we wish to generate abundance instead, i.e., the condition that all people, both now and in the future, are able to thrive, we need to fundamentally redesign our property rights. The flow chart shown here offers a framework for the kinds of property or resource use rights that would promote abundance, tailoring them to each specific type of resource and how it is used. This framework is explained in detail in my book (The Economics of Abundance: A Political Economy of Freedom, Equity and Sustainability, published by Gower in 2010, pp. 147-166); the following is a summary. Note that the flowchart shown here is slightly modified from the one that appears in the book.


Martha Gellhorn's The Face of War seemed as good a place to start as any. I'd completed the biography and I wanted to know why she was known as one of the earliest literary journalists.
Starting in 1937 covering the Civil War in Spain, Gellhorn travelled with troops and assembled reports in the form of features for Collier's magazine.
Gellhorn took to war like a duck to water, revelling in the bonhomie among troops. Because the stories (at least up to the WWII ones) were published almost immediately, there's also the 'us and them' element poking through like a writerly tic.
You wonder if she always included these lines or whether her editors back in New York inserted them before going to print. In either case, it's off-putting. Her dislike of the "cold, ambitous men" and her sympathy for the undrerdog also blinds her to real drama.
Her dislike of the Germans is palpable. Her prognoses are unerringly correct, such as her idea that China would only achieve democracy after (a) universal education and (b) a decent livelihood for the masses, had been achieved.
"The French ... are fighting for the honor of France ... they are fighting to get home to a country cleansed of Germans."
It's hard to see the difference, in tone and intent, between this kind of guff and Germany's insane policies that had led to war in the first place. Poetic justice, perhaps, but disturbing when coming from the pen of the writer herself.
Gellhorn uses direct quotes to great advantage. The first piece, dated mid 1937, is from Madrid. The imagery is natural and unforgettable. Her quoting hotel maids discussing the damage to certain rooms, and the way civilians deal with incessant shelling, are truly wonderful.
As she goes on, Gellhorn's reports become less like this, and more like what we can read elsewhere. Which is a pity. Her felicitous phrases are numerous, attesting to her other occupation of novelist.
I feel a "vast directed strength" (a phrase she uses to describe the war effort) in Gellhorn's writing. How many generations does it take to result in this kind of thing?
But Gellhorn clearly likes being among young, handsome, disciplined and resilient men. Which is not surprising.
This is a marvellous book.
Cezanne's Bords de la Marne, recently revealed in the old section of NSW's art gallery, is apparently not yet paid for.
An email to subscribers of the gallery's mail list tells us there will be a fundraising auction.
The $16 million painting is not large, nor is the price. Really it's not when you think about it. Consider the value of real estate in Sydney alone for a moment. It can seem a bargain in this light.
Eighty per cent of the cost was from private sponsors, articles last month read. And it had already been moved to Sydney.
It's a small and well constructed picture of a river frontage. The thumbnail above shows a sample. In the full image, a punt enters the frame at bottom right. This dynamic is buttressed by a sweeping movement in foliage of the tree Cezanne has placed in the dead centre of the frame.
The tree's downward movement sweeps around clockwise, and returns the viewer's attention to a stack of houses receding elegantly at left of frame. The two movements complement each other. The punt moves left and the sweep of tree and clouds moves in concert.
The image offers a scene and structure characterised by tranquillity and stability. In the left half, stacked houses and trees stand in quiet repose compared to the fluidity of the right half.
The pleasant contrast is not inventive. Compared to better-known views of a Swiss mountain and the painter's signature still lifes with oranges, Bords de la Marne is sedate.
Nevertheless, careful reconstruction of the material world in terms of what is seen - rather than in terms of what should exist - is Cezannesque.
Anyone can go to see the painting if they are in Sydney now. Veer right after entering the gallery. The access portal is last on your right.
No postcards have been printed. This is not surprising as it's early. But as Edmund Capon said during televised broadcasts at the time of purchase, it rewards repeat visits.
When are road works on Glebe Point Road going to be finished?
Current status is that traffic from Broadway to St Johns Road is one way uphill. To those who lived or live in the area it's certainly a puzzle.
For the rest of you, apologies. This post is about an area of personal significance.
Not an unusual claim. Thousands … Nay, tens of thousands, may say the like. In a sense it's a Sydney thing due to Glebe's 'iconic' status.
Where else can you live in a standalone, stone house within fifteen minutes' walk of Darling Harbour?
Only Paddington can make a similar claim.
But Paddington's not fenced off like at a rock show. "One working, three talking," the shopkeeper said to me.
It's been a while, clearly.
The cobbled area on Broadway mirrors recent work at Sydney Uni's Camperdown campus. The grey stone sits well amid overhanging branches poking out from the Moreton bay figs in Victoria Park.
Broadway will never be quiet. It's a stroke of genius to lay cobbles at the mouth of - what used to be, before King Street took off - one of Sydney's most popular dining streets.
The European effect is a suitable counterpoint to one of our more unusual suburbs.
