Recently, brain-computer interfaces, combined with feedback systems and goal-oriented training, have been investigated for their capacity to promote functional recovery after stroke. Accordingly, we developed a brain-computer interface-triggered robotic hand orthosis that assists hand-closing and hand-opening for post-stroke patients without sufficient motor output. In this system, near-infrared spectroscopy is used to monitor the affected motor cortex, and a linear discriminant analysis-based binary classifier estimates hand posture. The estimated posture then wirelessly triggers the robotic hand orthosis. For better performance of the brain-computer interface, we tested feature windows of different lengths and varying feature vector compositions with motor execution data from seven neurologically intact participants. The interaction between a feature window and a delay in the hemodynamic response significantly affected both classification accuracy (Matthew Correlation Coefficient) and detection latency. The 'preserving channels' feature vector was able to increase accuracy by 13.14% and decrease latency by 29.48%, relative to averaging. Oxyhemoglobin combined with deoxyhemoglobin improved accuracy by 3.71% and decreased latency by 6.01% relative to oxyhemoglobin alone. Thus, the best classification performance resulted in an accuracy of 0.7154 and a latency of 2.8515 s. The hand rehabilitation system was successfully implemented using this feature vector composition, which yielded better classification performance.

After the Antifa group "Smash Racism DC" showed up outside the home of Fox News' Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, one of the participants decided to give us their side of the story.
About a dozen protesters visited Tucker Carlson's home Wednesday evening with signs, a megaphone, and a tambourine.
The incident, video of which was taken offline shortly after being posted, has prompted an aisle-crossing outcry – fueled in part by Carlson's own significant embellishments of what occurred while he wasn't home. I was there for the entirety of the 10-minute demonstration, and can report in detail what actually happened.
Video posted on LiveLeak shows portions of the event, which lasted less than 10 minutes. It also illustrates Carlson's other embellishment — that one person was caught on a security video saying they wanted to return to his home with a pipe bomb. In fact, the person filming is heard saying "Pipe bombs! Synagogue victims!" as the speaker with the amplifying device wraps up their initial statement and begins to lead chants. Carlson's show and broader media empire have long amplified the same flavors of xenophobic paranoia and white supremacist ideology believed to have motivated alleged so-called "MAGAbomber" Cesar Sayoc and Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers. There is no mention of the phrase "pipe bombs" in the police report later filed.
A few minutes later, one member of the group mounted the steps again and leaned a poster board sign on the Carlsons' front door before rejoining the group. The sign had Carlson's name and address on it.
A handful of cars passed in either direction, most without stopping. One woman stopped to sarcastically congratulate the group on their tactics, then drove along. Moments later a second driver stopped, and seemed to grow annoyed when one of the legal observers standing to my left across the street from the house wouldn't answer his questions. He then pulled forward and exchanged words with a second observer before driving on. The second observer crossed the street to say something to the small group of chanting protesters, who soon after began to amble back the way they'd come.
"We'll be back! We won't tell you when!" the group chanted as it moved away from the house. Those carrying signs left them in the front yard bushes and other benign locations on the front of the property as they went.
One straggler from the group then stopped, put a backpack on the ground, and retrieved a can of spray paint from it. As that straggler began to graffiti the anarchist A symbol on the Carlsons' driveway, at least two members of the group walking away expressed dismay with their fellow traveler. "I didn't sign up for this," said one. "Seriously, what the f*ck," said another. A Metropolitan Police Department squad car rolled up the street from the south as the tagger, clad in black and face not visible, finished up the symbol.
The first responding officers briefly interacted with the slowly departing protesters, then doubled back to the house to check on the occupants. The group proceeded back down the winding, hilly street alone, at the slow pace required by the two in their number who were leaning on canes as they walked. I followed in a car.
As the group walked, the man in the SUV who'd stopped to ask the legal observers what was happening appeared again and stopped to check in with the officers before continuing on in his car. Noticing the group walking in front of him, he cut the wheel to make a K-turn in a driveway and raced back toward the Carlsons' house and the officers there. Moments later, three squad cars pulled up alongside the demonstrators as they neared an intersection and activated their roof lights.
One officer, who provided his badge number when a demonstrator asked for it, seemed to be asking who had done the graffiti. "Bet if I grabbed one of you guys," he said, trailing off but apparently referring to the alternative method he had in mind for identifying the vandal absent cooperation from the others. "Why don't you guys keep going. Keep on moving," he said then.
As the group reached the main road, the same neighbor passed again, on a third loop of the neighborhood, this time holding up his own cell phone to film the faces of the people he passed. The protesters paused briefly at the intersection to turn their backs to the street and cover their faces – a tactic common in left political activism these days, in light of their political opponents' habit of "doxing" and threatening participants in demonstrations that directly push the line between First Amendment activity and conduct law enforcement treats as criminal.
The police incident report describes a "suspected hate crime," but does not specify whether the police are seeking the person who graffitied the driveway or intend to hang charges on everyone present.
Local law enforcement recently tried to bury hundreds of protesters with felony charges after a handful in their number broke shop windows and sparred with officers on Inauguration Day 2017, but the thin and unprecedented charges fell apart in court. That episode illustrates a willingness to overcharge protesters associated with anti-fascist tactics regardless of their individual conduct. It was also an embarrassment for local police and prosecutors, who might relish another chance to go after leftist activists having failed to land the so-called J20 cases.
But the person leading the group's chants began the demonstration by saying Carlson promotes "an ideology that's led to thousands of people dying by the hand of the police, to trans women being murdered in the street." Subsequent chants specifically referenced the migrant caravan that Carlson and other media figures obsessed over, and which was President Donald Trump's closing political argument in the midterms.
The group elaborated on its intentions in a written statement shared with ThinkProgress. The statement recounts the Sayoc mailbombing campaign, the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, and the recent murder of two black people by a white man at a Kentucky grocery store.
Carlson almost immediately received expressions of sympathy and support from a wide range of prominent media peers, from former Fox colleague Megyn Kelly to media reporter Brian Stelter to latenight host Stephen Colbert to fringe figures from sites like Gateway Pundit and Infowars.
Bell isn't alone in being targeted by Carlson in exactly the way everyone seems to agree he himself shouldn't have been this week. Matt Rivitz, founder of the political boycotting coordination organization Sleeping Giants, told ThinkProgress he blames the Carlson-founded website The Daily Caller and peer publication Breitbart for a raft of specific and violent threats this summer against him, his wife, and his children.
"The Daily Caller decided to publish my name and my wife's name and my friends' names and where I used to work and all that stuff," Rivitiz told me. Commenters at the Caller and on a related story at Breitbart quickly doxxed him and encouraged each other to go after the Rivitz family, he said. Despite his immediately reporting the doxxing to the sites, Rivitz said days passed before either site deleted the flagged comments. The site did not immediately return a call for comment.
Rivitz said he abhors the targeting of Carlson's home by protesters and finds the tactic disgusting no matter who is targeted. But the defense of Carlson this week has frustrated him, he said, because those speaking out against the tactic now have generally not said a word about the Caller's facilitation of conservative harassment and threats to the Rivitzes.
Right-wing media have characterized Wednesday's group of fewer than 15 activists shadowed by four legal observers as a violent mob. In reality, a small group knocked on Carlson's door, shook a tambourine, and chanted slogans aimed at his chosen career hyping hateful speech aimed at racial minorities and political opponents, then left. As one of them broke off to spray paint his driveway, two others angrily reproached that person. Police opted not to arrest anyone in the group, choosing instead to scold them for their ill-mannered behavior and send them on their way.
The point of these direct actions, the activists behind them consistently say, is to deliver an emotional counterpunch to bad actors in U.S. politics whose work raises threat levels for marginalized communities. The point, in other words, is to unsettle and frighten — and I certainly would have been frightened had it been me in that house. But in both embellishing the nature of the threat and papering over Carlson's own record, the media reaction has blurred the truth of Wednesday night's events.
What this guy is saying is that the protestors who showed up outside of Carlson's home were "peaceful." If that was the case then they wouldn't show up at night, when Carlson was set to do his show and some wouldn't deface private property.
If they were trying to be peaceful then why did the group post Carlson's address on Twitter in hopes that others would show up?
The most shocking thing is that the author admits that he would be scared if he was home alone. If his group was so peaceful and doing nothing but demonstrating then why would Carlson's wife need to be fearful?

Behind CJ McCollum's 'incredible' performance, Portland Trail Blazers beat Denver Nuggets, advance to Western Conference finals

By Joe Freeman | The Oregonian/OregonLive
DENVER — After demolishing the Denver Nuggets with a dazzling and delicious performance that will go down in Portland Trail Blazers lore, CJ McCollum climbed the steps of the Pepsi Center in Section 129 in search of a hug.
Sitting in a seat on the aisle about 15 rows up was Kathy Andrews, McCollum's mother, and as her son sauntered up the steps, a tailored green suit draped around his shoulders, he couldn't help but flash a victorious grin. Andrews pointed her cell phone at McCollum as he ascended, no doubt snatching video of the moment, and as he reached her she rose to share a Mother's Day embrace the two will never forget.
"He said he was going to do a good job for me," Andrews said. "I told him that all I wanted for Mother's Day was a win. He was like, 'I told you so!"
Fueled by the most impressive and important performance of McCollum's career, a little redemption from Evan Turner and a whole lot of guts, the Blazers defeated the Nuggets 100-96 Sunday afternoon in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals. It clinched a 4-3 series victory for the Blazers, who were playing just the fourth Game 7 in franchise history, and delivered a date with the vaunted Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference finals.
It's the seventh time in franchise history — and first since 2000 — the Blazers will play in the conference finals.
"We don't stop, we don't quit," Moe Harkless said. "When we came in at halftime, there was nobody in this locker room that thought we were going to lose the game. We showed it on the floor, we've showed that all season, all playoffs. We've been in situations where we had to really, really fight to come out on top. We're at our best when our backs are against the wall. And I think we showed that again."
Indeed. Much like this improbable playoff run, the Blazers had to overcome a mound of adversity to keep their championship dreams alive.
They scored just 17 points in the first quarter. They trailed by 17 points in the second quarter. They shot just 15 percent from three-point range. Damian Lillard had one of the coldest playoff outings of his career, Rodney Hood suffered a scary left knee injury and Zach Collins encountered foul trouble.
But as if guided by fate — or the spirt of owner Paul Allen, some of them say — the resilient Blazers responded as they have all season when tragedy or challenge or injury strikes.
There was Lillard fighting through a forgettable 3-for-17 shooting night to nail two clutch crunch-time three-pointers. There was Enes Kanter outlasting a Ramadan fast and sore left shoulder to record 12 points and 13 rebounds. There was Meyers Leonard battling Nikola Jokic on defense, Harkless applying intense ball-pressure on Jamal Murray and Collins playing through that foul trouble to produce an important seven points, five rebounds and four blocks.
But, more than anything, there was a been-there, done-that effort from Turner. And there was a masterful performance from McCollum.
And now a season that has suddenly evolved from fun to special will continue, with a date against the big, bad Warriors and a shot at history.
"I just think we're a pretty tough team," Turner said. "We always stay together, we stay confident — we've always been a confident group. Everybody talks about the playoffs over the last two years and I think we paid our dues to get to this point, to be able to battle through. We've had adversity this whole year, with Paul going down, with (Jusuf Nurkic) going down and with Jon Yim getting in a car accident. Pressure can bust pipes or make diamonds. We never thought we were about to lose."
For McCollum, Sunday started with a text message.
Shortly before the game, he peered at his phone and noticed an alert from his brother, Errick, who, in-between his own professional basketball games in Russia, was reaching out to offer a sage piece of advice:
"Don't settle," he texted.
Get to the midrange. Unleash the floater. Drive to the basket. Be aggressive.
And, from beginning to end, that's just what McCollum did. When his teammates were laboring through an ice-cold start — the Blazers made just 7 of 25 first-quarter shots — McCollum coolly made 4 of 6 and scored eight points to keep them afloat. When they were fighting tooth and nail to come back from a 17-point hole in the second quarter, he made 3 of 6 shots and scored seven points. Then he took over.
McCollum sliced and diced his way around the Nuggets defense in jaw-dropping fashion, swishing step-back jumpers, completing crafty floaters, polishing off pretty drives to the hoop, nailing dagger after dagger after dagger.
"He was a monster," Harkless said of McCollum. "He was incredible. He carried us most of the game. He's a killer and he did that tonight."
And two kill-shots will be remembered most.
With 4:44 left and the Blazers clinging to a four-point lead, Jokic blocked Lillard's driving layup, corralled the rebound and heaved the ball ahead to Murray at halfcourt. The Nuggets' dynamic point guard broke free and sprinted toward an empty basket, with nothing but a highlight-reel, momentum-stealing dunk ahead. But Seth Curry caught up near the logo and ran stride for stride with Murray to the basket, stalling him just enough. By the time Murray approached the hoop, he had to settle for a left-handed layup and at the last second — out of nowhere — McCollum rose and swatted away the attempt, switching momentum in the blink of an eye.
It was perhaps the most memorable and extraordinary chase-down block in franchise history.
"I think it was a turnover that led to a runout," McCollum said. "They passed it ahead. Seth did a great job of cutting off his man, making him have to go over his head and he put it right there for me. I just went and got it — Bron style. Shoutout to my guy, Bron."
Bron, of course, is LeBron James. And McCollum was comparing his moment to that of James' famous chase-down block on Andre Iguodala in Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals.
"It was a mini version of Bron," McCollum said. "I definitely didn't get up as high. But it was a cool play. It's something that I will remember all my life. I might need a picture of that one."
He might want to save a frame for his biggest shot of the game, too. After rallying from that 17-point deficit to take a fourth-quarter lead, the Blazers were fighting off a hard charge from the Nuggets. And when Murray swished a tough jumper over Harkless with 29.7 seconds left, Denver was within 96-95. An exhilarating series that featured everything from quadruple overtime to triple-doubles to mini-melees would fittingly go down to the wire.
During a timeout, McCollum told Terry Stotts that he wanted the ball and the Blazers' coach obliged, calling four flat and putting the ball — and the game — in McCollum's hands.
He dribbled patiently on the perimeter, allowing a little time to tick off the clock, and with about 18 seconds left he went to work. McCollum sized up Torrey Craig outside the three-point line, rocked side-to-side and then darted toward the hoop, stopping on a dime near the free throw line. McCollum gave Craig a little MJ-esque shove, stepped back, and swished a no-doubt-about-it, 16-foot jumper.
It gave the Blazers a 98-95 lead and proved to be the difference.
McCollum's final line: 37 points, nine rebounds, 17 of 29 shooting and one big ol' I-told-you-so.
Few Blazers have excelled through as many detractors as the scrawny kid from Ohio who could only muster a mid-major college scholarship. He was too small to play shooting guard, too defensively challenged to succeed alongside Lillard, too streaky to flourish in the playoffs. Most pundits and many fans had long ago decided McCollum needed to be traded for the Blazers to become a serious threat in the Western Conference. But there he was Sunday — after averaging 26.4 points and shooting 45 percent from the field in the series — silencing them all.
"I wanted to empty the clip tonight," McCollum said. "And I thought I did that."
He also had a little help from Turner.
The oft-maligned small forward, whose $70 million contract and up-and-down production have spurred harsh criticism from Blazers fans, earned every penny of his deal Sunday. He finished with 14 points — double what he had scored the rest of the postseason combined — seven rebounds and two assists, important production that felt heavier because it was so timely. Most of the damage came in the deciding fourth quarter, after Hood left with a hyperextended left knee, and was vital to the Blazers' win.
Turner played the entire fourth and initiated the Blazers' offense for long stretches, scoring 10 points and handing out two assists. He sealed the win by nailing two free throws with 8.0 seconds left.
"Things play out the way they're supposed to," said Turner, who played in his 67th playoff games and second Game 7. "Just me being a pro, being in the league so long and fortunate to be in situations (like this) throughout my career. I kind of knew in pressure time, I'd be fine. It's just how I've always been."
Added Stotts: "Evan has been in big games. He's a big-game player."
Now, the big games will continue for at least one more round, to a place they haven't been in 19 years. The reigning-champion Warriors will be favored, of course. But so were the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round. And so were the Nuggets after taking a 3-2 lead in conference semifinals.
The Blazers have mourned the death of their owner. They've endured the gruesome leg injury to Nurkic. They've dealt with Yim's serious car crash.
And they've overcome it all.
As they charge forward, visiting terrain no Blazers team has in nearly two decades, there's a sense they are simply approaching the next phase rather than the beginning of the end.
'We feel like we still have a lot of basketball to go," Hood said.
After the game, Lillard finished up a postgame television interview and headed to the Blazers' locker room by himself. On the way, he stopped to sign a couple autographs for fans hanging over the corner railings, strutted past a throng of supporters screaming his name and started skipping.
Like a kid, Lillard skipped, over and over down a back hallway.
Then he slowed down and clasped his hands around the back of his head, cupping his arms forward to nearly shield his face. Before he reached the locker room door, the weight of the moment suddenly hit Lillard and the franchise cornerstone started to tear up.
By the time he finally pushed open the door and joined his teammates, a roar boomed so loud you could hear it down the hall.
"We had the roster turnover four years ago and everybody was quick to shoot us down, count us out," Lillard said. "And at that point, we didn't know for sure what direction we were going to go in. But we definitely leaned in on the culture that we wanted to create, doing things the right way, working hard, being about each other. We really built that up from the jump. Everybody is invested in what we've created.
"And I think when we come out on top in a game like this, in a tough series like this, you see it in everybody's celebration. Everybody's excited, because we all played a part in it. You don't just create this type of thing with a player. It takes everybody to be all in. That's what it was tonight."
Inside the locker room, new owner Jody Allen was one of the people to address the team after the game. She told them how proud she was, how impressed she was, and how excited she was — for the victory and for what lies ahead.
Then she urged them to keep this special season going.
"I guess life balances itself out," Turner said. "I'm not saying this makes up for the tragedy we've had. But … you could kind of feel it was going to be a special year. Sometimes, not to make it weird, but the spirits of Nurk, the spirits of Paul, are alive and well. I think it's great for Jody to be able to support us and do all that great stuff. This win is just as much for her as it is for everybody back in Portland."

When you write your monthly check for rent or mortgage, do you feel compelled to run to the gas station and spend just as much on gas?
The BCA places separate caps on defense and non-defense discretionary spending through 2021.
Congress should reject absurd demands to match defense spending increases with hikes in non-defense spending.
For every dollar you spend on groceries, do you spend another dollar on clothes? When you write your monthly check for rent or mortgage, do you feel compelled to run to the gas station and spend just as much on gas? Of course not. It makes no sense to peg one to the other.
But this is what the Democrats are demanding in the latest budget negotiations. They call it parity. In the latest round of negotiations to modify the Budget Control Act (BCA) spending caps, Democratic leadership is demanding parity that for every dollar increase in defense spending, they want an extra dollar spent on non-defense programs.It is an absurd demand. It discards any rational thinking about governmental priorities and proper allocation of limited resources. Rather, it's a gimmick to feed Washington's spending addiction and continue ineffective and wasteful programs.
The BCA places separate caps on defense and non-defense discretionary spending through 2021. The caps are enforced through automatic cuts, called sequestration. This division has reinforced a longstanding political delusion that all discretionary programs are created equal, regardless of need, effectiveness or constitutional mandate.
Additionally, it has had the unintended consequence of establishing a winning coalition for spending increases among lawmakers who recognize the need for a stronger defense budget and lawmakers who wish to boost funding for their pet domestic projects.
Congress should end the arbitrary distinction between defense and non-defense discretionary spending and establish a single cap for all discretionary spending instead. This would force lawmakers to make hard decisions about what stays and what goes, removing the "easy way out" compromise of simply increasing spending across the board and adding tens of billions of dollars to the deficit.
There is no question that we need to rebuild our weakened military. Year after year, Pentagon officials have expressed their concerns over the way lawmakers have cut their budgets even as their mission requirements have increased. This mismatch has led to a military that is unprepared to execute the missions expected of it. It is partially why the Heritage Foundation has judged our military to be only marginally capable of executing its solemn responsibilities.
This marginal capacity is reflected in the fact that U.S. training casualties are now comparable to war casualties. The decline in capacity is further compounded by the fact that the BCA cuts have disproportionately targeted defense, bearing over 42 percent of the cuts.
Congress has a constitutional mandate to provide for the common defense. Meanwhile, countless non-defense programs fall well outside of the constitutional duties assigned to the federal government. Many of these programs don't work. Many others benefit only a select group of businesses or other special interests, all at the expense of taxpayers.
Instead of giving these programs more money for parity's sake, Congress should trim the fat or eliminate them altogether and use the savings to bolster national defense. Heritage's Blueprint for Balance identifies more than 100 discretionary programs that could be reformed in 2018 alone.
Congress should reject absurd demands to match defense spending increases with hikes in non-defense spending. Fiscal responsibility demands that lawmakers rationally prioritize spending to reflect their constitutional responsibilities and truly national needs.
Buying $100 worth of clothes every time we spend $100 on groceries would leave us overdressed on the road to the poorhouse. The federal government should not make this mistake again.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), a procedure often performed under local anaesthetic with a 2–3 day length of stay, has the capacity to transform lives for the better with dramatic improvements in exercise tolerance and quality of life. Complication rates are low, but stroke – particularly disabling stroke – remains a feared outcome for patients and operators alike. As such, it is a focus of ongoing research and in this issue of Interventional Cardiology Review I am pleased to present three articles addressing the available evidence on how best to minimise the risk of stroke. Articles by Herbert G Kroon and Nicolas MDA Van Mieghem, and Martin G Radvany, relate exclusively to embolic protection devices; an article from Thomas Walther's group reviews stroke prevention in general.
There are two further articles relating to TAVI in this issue of the journal: Ren Jie Yao, Matheus Simonato and Danny Dvir provide an excellent review of how haemodynamics can be optimised after valve-in-valve procedures, while Crochan J O'Sullivan1 and Peter Wenaweser predict which patients will be undergoing TAVI in 2020.
Tricuspid valve anatomy is a challenging environment for engineers and developing transcatheter devices for tricuspid valve interventions has taken much longer than it has for the aortic valve. In the past 2–3 years, however, real progress has been made and Francesco Maisano's group – very much in the vanguard as researchers and operators – provides a timely review of the role of transcatheter interventions in the management of tricuspid regurgitation.
Developments in transcatheter interventions are always made in the context of surgical therapies. In addition, as cardiologists, it is incumbent on us to know all the treatments that are available for our patients. Thus, I would hope the final article in this issue's Structural Section, about novel surgical techniques for treating aortic dissection, will be both informative and stimulating.
Novel devices and procedures provide new and exciting ways to treat our patients and one of the aims of this journal is to keep cardiologists up to date with developments in coronary and structural intervention. It is, however, also important that common procedures are undertaken safely and that patients derive maximum benefit from them. To this end, Kully Sandhu, Robert Butler and James Nolan, and Giovanni Luigi De Maria and Adrian Paul Banning, both provide excellent reviews of transradial coronary artery procedures and intravascular ultrasound imaging of the left main stem respectively. I commend them to you.

Ex-Dow AgroSciences employee accused of stealing trade secrets
July 29, 2010 | Chris O'Malley
Keywords Bioscience / Contract Research / Criminal Charges / Dow AgroSciences / Health Care & Life Sciences
Two arrested in multi-year probe of Muncie public corruption
It was an innocent slip, perhaps, caused by Ke-xue Huang's zeal for biochemistry
and prolific publishing in scientific journals.
Or, as the U.S. Department of Justice alleges, the 45-year-old native of China's Hunan province stole trade secrets
of a Dow AgroSciences insecticide and gave them to this nation's arch-economic rival, the People's Republic of
Federal agents arrested the former Dow Agro scientist July 13 in Westboro, Mass., where he has lived since leaving Dow Agro,
the Indianapolis unit of Dow Chemical Co., in 2008. Prosecutors allege the secrets were worth more than $100 million.
Huang was charged under the 14-year-old Economic Espionage Act, which is aimed at those who knowingly target or acquire trade
secrets and knowingly benefit any foreign government or instrumentality.
"The Cold War is not over, it has merely moved into a new arena: the global marketplace," the FBI proclaims on
its website.
According to records in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, the FBI arrested Huang in response to an indictment returned
in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
The indictment charges Huang with 12 counts of theft and attempted theft of trade secrets to benefit a foreign government.
Each count could carry a maximum 15 years in prison.
Huang was also charged with five counts of interstate and foreign transportation of stolen property.
The Indiana indictment records are sealed. A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana Timothy Morrison
declined to elaborate.
It's unknown whether and to what extent Dow Agro has suffered economic damage due to the alleged theft of trade secrets
related to a new family of insecticides developed in recent years.
Some of the company's insecticides are sold under the names Conserve SC, Delegate WG, Entrust Naturalyte and SpinTor.
It's not clear which potentially are affected by the alleged theft of trade secrets.
Dow Agro said it has been cooperating with federal authorities but declined to comment.
"Under the circumstances, there's nothing more that we feel we can say," said company spokesman Gary Hamlin.
The Dow unit employs 1,200 people locally.
Huang's attorney in Boston, James Duggan, said he believes "the capstone" of the indictment is a paper
Huang co-authored in late 2008, "Recent Advances in the Biochemistry of Spinosyns," published by Hunan Normal
University, in China.
The paper was subsequently picked up in a number of academic journals. One of Huang's co-authors was James Zahn, another
former Dow Agro employee, who is now a scientist at Chicago-area biofuels company Coskata Inc.
Duggan says it's curious that neither Zahn nor the paper's other author, in China, were named in the DOJ complaint.
Calls placed to Zahn's workplace were not returned.
It's not the first paper Huang and Zahn have published related to insecticides. At the end of a July 2008 paper published
in the Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, the following message appears: "We thank Dow AgroSciences
for finical [sic] support."
A search of other scientific papers involving spinosyns and insect control can be found online, authored by various Dow Agro
scientists over the years.
An FBI agent who testified during Huang's bail hearing last month said the evidence also included e-mails Huang allegedly
sent to Hunan Normal University.
While Duggan acknowledges the government may have more damning information in its quiver, "I think they would have
been firing their best fastball" during the hearing if there were more compelling evidence.
Duggan argued at the hearing last month that if Huang were out to steal Dow Agro trade secrets allegedly worth hundreds of
millions of dollars, it would be unlikely he would then publish what he knew in a scholarly journal, for all to see.
"They don't allege anywhere in the indictment that money or favors or considerations passed from anyone to Dr.
Huang," Duggan said.
Susan W. Brenner, NCR distinguished professor of law and technology at the University of Dayton School of Law, noted that
the Justice Department's own manuals for prosecuting intellectual property crimes cases say it can be problematic to
prosecute a person if he actually believed the information wasn't a trade secret after taking reasonable steps to warrant
such a belief.
"Huang might possibly be able to argue here that he didn't realize this was a trade secret" if other employees
of the company published information relating to the topic, Brenner added.
Alternatively, Huang could argue he didn't know the publication of his paper would benefit a foreign government.
"But of course, all that depends on whether or not the case is just based on the [paper]," Brenner said.
One portion of the DOJ manual on "misappropriating" trade secrets defines the issue so broadly that even aspects
such as memorizing information could be used in prosecution.
Economic espionage cases are rare. Boston attorney Joseph Savage Jr., a former federal prosecutor, estimated the government
has prosecuted about 50 of the cases since the mid-1990s.
"The overwhelming number of cases have been purely domestic theft of trade secrets. There have been only six that involved
theft intending to benefit a foreign government," Savage said.
According to court records in Massachusetts, Huang is a permanent resident of the United States and holds Canadian and Chinese
passports. He attended school in China and obtained a doctorate in Tokyo. He moved to Houston in 1995.
A former colleague at Rice University, where Huang did postdoctoral work, remembered Huang.
"He was a pretty straightforward guy, very interested in science and doing the experiments—very technically skilled
… He was a very hard worker. [The federal case] seems strange," said the Rice academician, who asked not to be
identified.
Court records state that Huang spent three years in Houston, then moved to Canada from 1993-2003. Later, he spent about five
years in Indianapolis, at Dow Agro.
The reason for and nature of his departure is not indicated in court records.
Huang spent the last 10 months in Massachusetts, working for the biofuels company Qteros.
Huang is married to Jie Sun, a Chinese national and a Canadian citizen, according to the government. They have two children,
ages 12 and 7. His parents and four siblings live in Hunan province, which he visited twice in 2009.
"Huang has made multiple trips to Shanghai and Beijing, China beginning in August 2008 through January 2010,"
according to court records.
A federal judge in Massachusetts proposed releasing Huang on a $250,000 bond and having him surrender passports and submit
to electronic monitoring. The judge said the "weight of evidence against Huang is strong, but not overwhelming."
However, the District Court for the Southern District of Indiana stayed his release, according to court records.•

How many kids will be impacted by Utah's ban on transgender athletes?
Utah lawmakers expect the state will be sued over the ban on transgender girls playing in school sports.
(Rick Bowmer | AP) A ban on transgender athletes playing female school sports in Utah would affect transgender girls like this 12-year-old swimmer seen at a pool in Utah on Monday, Feb. 22, 2021. She and her family spoke with The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to avoid outing her publicly. She cried when she heard about the proposal that would ban transgender girls from competing on girls' sports teams in public high schools, which would separate her from her friends. She's far from the tallest girl on her team, and has worked hard to improve her times but is not a dominant swimmer in her age group, her coach said. "Other than body parts I've been a girl my whole life," she said.
By Kim Bojórquez
| March 27, 2022, 12:00 p.m.
| Updated: March 28, 2022, 4:33 p.m.
The state Legislature this week struck down Gov. Spencer Cox's veto of a controversial transgender athletes' sports ban, making Utah the 12th state to impose restrictions on transgender girls participating in school sports aligning with their gender identity.
[Related: How each member voted and who switched | Sen. Thatcher stood up for kids, even though it may end his political career, Gehrke writes]
Here's what you need to know about the law slated to take effect this summer.
Which Utah student-athletes will be impacted by the ban?
Of the 75,000 students registered to play school sports in Utah, only four athletes identify as transgender children, including one transgender girl, according to Cox.
However, the bill's sponsor, state Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan said "a lot more" transgender athletes are playing in coed sports. Birkeland also emphasized that the law would not impact transgender athletes playing in coed sports.
Does the ban apply to collegiate sports athletes?
No. Troy Williams, executive director of Equality Utah, an LGBTQ advocacy organization, said the NCAA has policies to ensure fairness and opportunity in competition.
"The NCAA have policies in place to ensure fairness and opportunity in competition. They also expressly have policies to include transgender athletes," Williams said. "The state should not intervene or meddle in collegiate sports. HB11 has caused immense pain amongst transgender Utahns and a nightmare for conservative lawmakers who are now facing primary challengers from extremists within their own party. I hope lawmakers have learned that these pointless culture war bills only lead to heartache, anger and division."
When is the ban planned to take effect?
Under the law, the ban is expected to take effect on July 1.
How likely is a lawsuit over the law?
Very likely.
Both Republicans and Democrats have expressed that the ban would open the state to costly litigation.
During a news conference on Friday, Senate President Stuart Adams said he expected the state to be sued.
It's why lawmakers on Friday passed a bill that would indemnify schools and school districts if the educational institutions are sued over the ban. Lawmakers also set aside $500,000 from the state's General Fund for lawsuits.
In a statement, the ACLU of Utah called the probability of a legal battle "inevitable."
"We are deeply disappointed and saddened at today's votes by the Utah Legislature to discriminate against transgender youth to exclude them from participating fully on sports teams," according to a statement from the ACLU of Utah. "Litigation to stop H.B. 11 from taking effect is now both necessary and inevitable to ensure Constitutional promises of equal protection to all Utahns."
What happens if a Utah court strikes down the ban?
If a lawsuit over the ban is taken to a Utah court and is found to be unconstitutional, a commission to evaluate whether a transgender athlete can compete in school sports will take effect.
Does the ban apply to Utah private schools?
Yes, the ban applies to all schools, according to Dave Spatafore, a lobbyist for the Utah High School Activities Association. However, if the commission were to take effect, transgender students in private schools would go through existing policies set up by the Utah High School Activities Association.
Who will serve on the commission?
Under the law, the Senate president, House speaker and the governor will each be charged with appointing two individuals to serve on the commission. The panel will consist of a mental health professional, a statistician, a physician with "expertise in gender identity health care," a sports physiologist, representative of an athletic association, a college athletic trainer and an ad hoc member who serves on a case-by-case basis.
How have Utah's professional sports teams responded?
The Utah Jazz immediately condemned the ban on transgender athletes, calling the legislation discriminatory in nature.
"The Utah Jazz oppose discriminatory legislation. We are committed to our values of inclusivity, mutual respect, and fair play. Beyond basketball, we hope for an equitable solution that shows love and compassion for all our youth," according to a statement from the Utah Jazz.
Salt Lake City's soccer club, Real Salt Lake, also opposed the legislation.
"Real Salt Lake stands opposed to legislating discrimination, according to a statement from the soccer club. "Our club remains steadfastly committed to the "soccer for all" tenets of inclusion, respect and fair play. Beyond the field, we always strive for equitable solutions that demonstrate love and compassion for all, especially the youth in our community."

Stefanus Nuno Pereira, Bsc(Hons) Mining Engineering, seated at his desk in his somewhat chaotic office at Okuruso Fluorspar, typical of a mining engineer.
his year's UNAM graduates in engineering have not fallen short of employment opportunities. Speaking to The Economist, Stefanus Nuno Pereira is one such go-getter graduate who is currently employed at Okoruso Flouspar mine. His degree in mining engineering with honours has enabled him to be one of the young Namibian citizens to enjoy the fruits of his extensive technical studies.
The young man explained with excitement his journey to his current position.
"After a mine visit in 2010 I fell in love with the mining atmosphere in Okorusu. I applied for an internship in June 2011. It was just for a month but then I decided it is where I would like to begin my professional career. They offered me a bursary and permanently employed me this year in April." According to Pereira his job entails making plans for drilling, blasting, loading and hauling of the material from the ore to the processing plant. "However, at this very moment I am going through a detailed training program where I'm exposed to all the departments at the mine. That is geology, metallurgy, mechanical and mining. This is to groom me, to one day, God willingly, become the mining manager of Okorusu.
Currently, Pereira explains he is the only graduate from Unam who is working there but he is confident that the mine will be accepting new interns soon. According to him, the demand for engineers is still very high. He stated that other than the mining manager he is the only other mining engineer present at the mines.

Technology Spotlight: Healing the Waters through Ecological Design
In 1980, John Todd started experimenting with biologically diverse systems to deal with recalcitrant contamination issues. His research and patents have influenced a generation of wastewater technologies. He envisions a world in which natural treatment systems are at the heart of our industries and cities and reintegrate human life back into the biological cycle.
Eight years later, Dr. Todd founded John Todd Ecological Design (JTED) to commercialize this vision and to create an accessible alternative to conventional wastewater treatment. In the last 28 years, Dr. John Todd has completed projects on five continents dealing with waterborne waste streams ranging from domestic sewage to industrial wastes.
JTED's Restorers use, biodiversity to create biological complex systems capable of treating the most difficult contaminants and human-waste streams. For example, the Eco-Machine design for the Omega Center for Sustainable Living in Rhinebeck, NY, treats up to 52,000 gallons/day of wastewater for irrigation of a leach field in a space used as a classroom, event space and yoga studio.
By using 12,000 plants composed of 20 native species, the Restorer in the Baima canal was able to reduce odors, eliminate floating solids and improve the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Additionally, the walkway down the center of the Restorer became a recreation area for the members of the community.
John Todd Ecological Design commitment to design initiatives that give more than what it takes from nature is also setting a precedent to reversing the ongoing contamination of oceans. The Ocean Restorers are unlike any other bio solution John Todd Ecological Design has ever created. The Ocean Restorers are catamaran lookalike ships, powered by solar and wind energy, and filled with biological complex systems of sea grass, oyster reef, kelp forest and algae turfs that would be able to filter more than 1 billion gallons of sea water per day

Savvy entrepreneurs learn to maintain control of their margins.
Managerial accounting centers around creating internal reports for managerial decision-making. Cost accounting makes up a large part of managerial accounting, and margins offer insight into a company's cost-control effectiveness. Accountants calculate different margins to gain insight into different parts of a business. Inventory turnover can affect economies of scale in companies' cost structures, making it a valuable metric for managerial accounting reports. Understanding the concepts of margin and turnover, and their correlation to managerial accounting, can help you to gain deeper insight into internal financial reports.
The concepts of managerial accounting, inventory turnover and margins are inseparably linked. Higher inventory turnover can allow a company to achieve economies of scale through volume discounts. Economies of scale reduce product costs without sacrificing quality or reliability, which in turn increases gross margin and individual contribution margins. All of this is useful from a managerial-accounting perspective because it provides feedback into a company's cost structure and profitability.

The Federal Reserve Is "Fighting The Last Battle"
Written by: Mac Slavo
The central bank of the United States, the same one that creates dollars out of thin air, is "fighting the last battle." Things are going to get a lot worse, and it's all by design.
The goal is a full control centralized dollar and dependence on the system for a universal basic income. In other words, complete slavery is the ultimate final goal of the New World Order. The central banks are in control right now, the dollar is collapsing, and this is all being done on purpose.
The Fed won't be changing anything dramatically with regards to their monetary policy, and if you already know what the end game is, you know this. The "last battle" they are fighting now is for ultimate control over every single transaction of all human beings.
Interest rates will be allowed to drop even further and the dollar will be destroyed all while Americans continue to struggle to put food on the table and the corporations get ridiculously wealthy. Last night, Greg Mannarino uploaded his "Market Wrap Up" and tried to remind those listening of what is really going on.

"They are on a mission to own it all," says Mannarino of the Fed's ultimate plans. "They're gonna buy more debt, they're gonna issue more debt, and they're gonna melt the dollar…nothing is gonna change here. The goal of these central banks is to inflate massively. Debts and deficits are going to balloon."
Mannarino continued, saying: "It's pretty obvious and it should be to anyone that things are going to get monumentally worse by design...it's all a scam. This entire thing is a charade, it's fake."
The United States alone has Great Depression levels of unemployment, half (or more) of small businesses are gone for good, never to return, meanwhile, Wall Street executives are ettin the biggest bonuses in history this year. Let that sink in. There is no recovery. There was never meant to be.

What is 3 + five?


Are you sure it's a song?
The other day, SongExpresso presented a songwriting collaborator with a steaming pile of lyrics without a melody. Only to be asked "Is this some kind of spoken word thing?" Ouch. I had written prose.
I loved the concept and some of the detail. But I was having endless difficulties with it. Melody, like an upside-down magnet, was refusing to attach to the lyrics. Chords would scatter bird-like away from my lyrical dogs.
Maybe there was no "prosody". Or maybe I was relying too much on prosody to do the work, expecting melody to flow naturally out of the words. Not to mention that there was a radical internal rhyme scheme where the rhyme would appear in different places in each verse, but this ultimately only went to add confusion and subtract satisfaction.
A lyrical idea can happen in isolation at any time. But then it isn't a song, just an idea. If it doesn't have rhythm and feeling it may just be prose. You can impose some structure and develop ideas on paper or a computer and possibly hear instruments in your head (if you are Beethoven). Otherwise, your idea needs to be put in a taxi, taken to a party, and sat next to a musical instrument (or made to dance flirtatiously with lots of musical instruments until it finds one it likes). Then they need to spend time together so that their bits crystallize into a song.
You can – and should – go back to the desk and work more. But doing that is much more likely to produce a song after magnetic melody has adhered to your words, and chords of grouse have settled around your lyrical corn.
SongExpresso's collaborator in this case was a "get a demo done" type of person, a fresh approach that really helped. What do you do when you get lyrics without a melody? How do you take it to the next stage? As always, SongExpresso wants to hear your ideas and experiences.
