Mad cow disease found in California; no human threat seen - Infections

Authorities reported the country’s first case of mad cow disease in six years on Tuesday, swiftly assuring consumers and global importers that there was no danger of meat from the California dairy cow entering the food chain.

Despite assurances from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack that the finding posed “no risk to the food supply or to human health”, two major South Korean retailers halted sales of U.S. beef and the government there said it may suspend quarantine inspections, a move that would effectively halt imports.

Fears of a potential backlash among consumers and big importers of U.S. beef fueled a sell-off in Chicago live cattle futures on Tuesday, with memories still sharp of the first case in 2003 that caused a $3 billion drop in exports. It took until 2011 before those exports fully recovered.



Mexico said it would maintain beef trade with the United States, while Japan, which only imports U.S. cattle below 20 months of age after previous mad cow cases, said it would take no immediate action.

Experts said the case was “atypical” - meaning it was a rare occurrence in which a cow contracts the disease spontaneously, rather than through the feed supply.

The risk of transmission generally comes when the brain or spinal tissue of an animal with BSE, or mad cow disease, is consumed by humans or another animal, which did not occur in this case.

First discovered in Britain in 1986, the disease has killed more than 150 people and 184,000 cows globally, mainly in Britain and Europe, but strict controls have tempered its spread. The first U.S. case was found in late 2003 in an animal imported from Canada, followed by two more in 2005 and 2006. Two of those cases were also “atypical”.

“I would say this is an extremely isolated, atypical event,” said Dr. Bruce Akey, professor of veterinary medicine and director of the Animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell University, which tests for Mad Cow and Chronic Wasting diseases for New York state and several Northeastern states.

“There is still no evidence at all that BSE is anything but an extremely rare event in the United States, and nothing that poses a threat to the human or animal food chain.”

Import restrictions from major customers would deal a fresh blow to companies such as Tyson Foods Inc and Brazil-based JBS that are still smarting from the “pink slime” furor.

Officials at Korea’s agriculture ministry said an outright import ban was unlikely.

“It won’t be an import ban, but possibly a quarantine suspension,” a spokesman at the Korean agriculture ministry said.

Korean retailer Lotte Mart, a unit of Lotte Shopping Co., said it had suspended sales due to what it said was “customer concerns”, as did Home Plus, a unit of Britain’s Tesco PLC.

NOT IN THE FEED

The USDA has begun notifying authorities at the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) as well as U.S. trading partners, said John Clifford, the USDA’s chief veterinary officer.

“The systems and safeguards in place to protect animal and human health worked as planned to identify this case quickly and will ensure that it presents no risk to the food supply or to human health,” Vilsack said in a statement.

The USDA is still tracing the exact life of the infected animal, and the carcass of the cow is under quarantine and would be destroyed.

The cow was found at a rendering plant, which processes diseased or sick animals into mainly non-edible products for use in things like soap or glue.

Live cattle futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange edged higher in Asian trade on Wednesday after falling by the daily 3-cent-per-pound limit in the previous session. The June live cattle contract was up 0.4 percent at 112 cents per lb by 0305 GMT.

Virus expert: Mac is no more secure than Windows

Only the lowest penetration of the market protects Apple computers
As an advantage of Windows on Mac security often the platform is headed. Windows computers are often plagued by viruses and malware that Apple computers. If true, does not mean that Macs are more secure than Microsoft's operating system, therefore, as a security expert Andreas Marx explains in an interview with heise.
Windows 60 000 parasites per day
Marx is the head of the German Security AV-Test, the testing company on behalf of anti-virus software. In addition, unprotected computers connected to the Internet, to see how fast they are infected with viruses and this new pest drag on the Internet. According to Marx, were counted in 2010 per day up to 60,000 different pests for Windows machines, while on Mac, Linux and mobile operating system were on average only about 50.
Mac is also vulnerable
This does not mean that Macs are safer and less to give viruses. Apple computers are just a matter less of a threat, because Mac has a lower market penetration of commercial Windows and virus writers. The platform the most widely used is the purpose lukrativstes, and it's Windows. "If you put yourself in the situation, but virtually pest-programmer, Mac OS X can be an attractive target, but should be the platform programming," said Marx. The security expert believes that the number will increase attacks on the Mac. Current Mac viruses as a trial balloon could be seen for virus writers to try how fast they spread. Marx: "This proves that the Mac platform is vulnerable."
Anti-virus software does not pay for Mac users
The integrated file quarantine and signatures Mac OS X, however, Marx holds for "sham". The list of signatures will not be updated regularly and covers only a few signatures. "All anti-virus software protects better here," says the boss of AV. A simple virus scanner would be useful for Mac users, but not right now. If so, then the software should protect against other threats such as phishing sites or traps subscription. For this you can also use some alternative DNS servers from Symantec. It is also recommended for the weak, because anti-virus software often need many resources. Malicious software sent by e-mail can be filtered and the appropriate service provider.
Apple responds too slowly
Marx criticized reports that vulnerabilities Apple does not seem to take too seriously. Microsoft responds quickly with a response from Apple was not so obvious. On both platforms, but it could take a long time to be released patch. In general, would be published soon on Windows Update, as indicated in the current issue of c't. Apple let the sometimes very long time, to be released update. It comes from, but probably less of a lack of knowledge among developers as to the prioritization of management

Navy jet crashes Virginia apartment complex; some residents are still missing

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Two Navy pilots ejected from a fighter jet Friday, sending their unmanned plane careening into a Virginia Beach apartment complex and engulfing several buildings in flames.

The plane had dumped loads of fuel before crashing, though it wasn’t clear if that was because of a malfunction or an intentional maneuver by the pilots, said Capt. Mark Weisgerber with U.S. Fleet Forces Command.

Seven people were injured, including both pilots, though all were expected to survive. Authorities were still combing through the wreckage of some 40 apartment units, and they said some residents of the complex still had not been accounted for. The pilots were a student and instructor, Weisgerber said.

Bruce Nedelka, the Virginia Beach EMS division chief, said that witnesses saw fuel being dumped from the jet before it went down, and that fuel was found on buildings and vehicles in the area. The plane not having as much fuel on board “mitigated what could have been an absolute massive, massive fireball and fire,” Nedelka said. “With all of that jet fuel dumped, it was much less than what it could have been.”

The crash happened in the Hampton Roads area, which has a large concentration of military bases, including Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world. Naval Air Station Oceana, where the F/A-18D that crashed was assigned, is located in Virginia Beach.
Dozens of police cars, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles filled the densely populated neighborhood where the plane crashed. Yellow fire hoses snaked through side streets as fire crews poured water on the charred rooftops of brick apartment houses. By late afternoon, the fire had been put out.

Residents of the apartment complex described a confusing scene and an apologetic pilot. Colby Smith said his house started shaking and then the power went out, as he saw a red and orange blaze outside his window. He ran outside, where he saw billowing black smoke and then came upon the pilot as he ran to a friend’s home.

“I saw the parachute on the house and he was still connected to it, and he was laying on the ground with his face full of blood,” Smith told WVEC-TV. “The pilot said, ‘I’m sorry for destroying your house.’”

Smith said he and another man helped the pilot onto the street.

Patrick Kavanaugh, who lives in the complex where the jet crashed, opened up his sliding glass door after hearing a loud explosion and saw one of the jet’s pilots on the ground with blood on his face. Kavanaugh said the pilot, whom he described as a “young boy,” was very upset and apologetic.

“The poor guy was in shock. I checked for broken bones and opened wounds,” said Kavanaugh, who spent 23 years in the rescue squad and retired in 1996.

Despite having suffered several heart attacks and open-heart surgery, Kavanaugh said his old rescue skills kicked in as he dragged the pilot around the corner and away from the fire before several other explosions occurred.

As authorities closed roads in the neighborhood, traffic backed up on side streets and on nearby Interstate 264, with slow-moving columns of vehicles bringing drivers to a virtual standstill early Friday afternoon.

Edna Lukens, who works at the apartment complex across the street from the crash, said she saw three apartment buildings on fire. “We heard this loud noise and we looked out the window and there was smoke all in the sky. Then the flames started going up in the sky, and then the apartment building just started burning and the police was called and everybody came out,” Lukens said.

Felissa Ezell, 71, was sitting in a folding chair outside her townhouse near the crash site Friday and recalled hearing the crash as she returned home earlier in the day. “Oh, my God, I heard three really loud explosions, then the black smoke went up high in the sky,” she said.

The same model of fighter jet, an F/A-18D, crashed in December 2008 while returning to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar after a training exercise in a San Diego neighborhood. That crash killed four members of one family and destroyed two homes.

The Marine Corps said the jet suffered a mechanical failure, but a series of bad decisions led the pilot — a student — to bypass a potentially safe landing at a coastal Navy base after his engine failed. The pilot ejected and told investigators he screamed in horror as he watched the jet plow into the neighborhood, incinerating two homes. A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to pay the family nearly $18 million in restitution.source

Kinostar Tyler Perry

His humor is massive, his figures seem simplistic, critics accuse him of racism behind: But black U.S. film mogul Tyler Perry is one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood - and produces success at the box office after another.

African-American actors like Will Smith, Forest Whitaker and Eddie Murphy are the Hollywood cinema has long been indispensable. We have grown accustomed to having what police both as pirates, presidents like bums black faces possible. But what about the power behind the scenes? Who knows a black studio boss? Or even heard of Tyler Perry?



His films are called "Diary of a Mad Black", "Daddy Little Girls" and "Why Did I Get Married". Tyler Perry comedies that is not only marketed itself, for which he wrote all the scripts and directing. But when it is usually the main character - an overweight, and gun-toting grandmother zeternde black named Madea - played. Successfully: Meanwhile, Perry led by the magazine "Forbes" as the third richest African-American actor.

Tip for all

However, the media mogul Black is still one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood. And although self-taught 39 years last October - with Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey and Sidney Poitier as guests of honor - his own wide open studio complex in Atlanta. More than 25 million DVDs of his films, he has already been sold, in addition to his screen projects, he produced several shows this summer, as the fledgling sitcom "Meet The Browns".

Is Tyler Perry, the white establishment to little attention, is not only self-sufficient in its operation, the absence of critical insights and conventional advertising, but also in the niche market it serves. Although none of his films were always in a European location, Tyler Perry is black in America long ago that the house brand. Because he has an audience by word of mouth attracted in cinema, movie theaters so far avoided most: African-American practitioners, families, grandmothers. Who had never been seen before black snakes queue old ladies in front of a box office?

Sidney Poitier, the grand old African-American film think you know why Perry is so successful: "It speaks to an audience that does not consider the film industry for decades an audience that reflects like him again in his own image would look -. On average, affectionate, bad people. "

The faithful also helped the film being Perry, "Madea Goes To Jail" - against all the dire predictions of the experts - the blockbuster status: Already the opening weekend, playing the comedy of a 41 million U.S. dollars. A margin which is itself quite a few Hollywood greats in the shadows: "The name of Tyler Perry," said the magazine industry "Media By Numbers", "guarantee continued success as the only Harry Potter . "

The newspaper was referring to the seven films that led African Americans in the last four years, the average income of $ 45 million - at a cost much less than ten million dollars. Even more amazing, these numbers when you consider that Perry's films uses a non-white to 95 percent of the audience.

Creativity, stereotypes, commercialism

How films depict blacks is still controversial with critics. Not without good reason they call character Perry as a crude, simple-minded as his humor and film subjects such as boxes relations melodramatic.

Even worse, they accuse him of unconscious racism, "Perry has some of the old Hollywood stereotypes of the era of apartheid exhumed," said Todd Boyd, professor says to pop culture at the University of Southern California, "Blacks are also often slow and stupid. now reinterpret these prejudices Perry films for a new era."

But as "Madea" comedy made even woodcuts - they obviously meet a widespread need. The desire to see blacks in everyday interactions. Or, as Eugene Robinson in the "Washington Post," writes to let the "Magic Negro" paradigm behind them: Although the definition in Hollywood, black characters usually only about their relationship with the white world, they will be in Perry , at least not a moral function in conditions imposed on the majority society.

Perry studied his audience from beginning to earth: His films based on plays that toured the auto dealership for years by former African-American churches and community centers. Raised in a poor neighborhood of New Orleans, the father abused the mother going to stop the violence on how regularly dragged into the harbor of the Black Church, Perry gathered here, character studies, from which he then built his theater and screen characters.

Individual combatants, Earth's magnetic

In the end the advice that Oprah Winfrey has led to his own way: It would be cathartic to write your feelings, she said in her TV show. Perry wrote in the following letters for himself, his anger on his father and treated the youth has failed and turned it in 1992, his first play: "I know I've changed." Then he built a following on stubbornly. He slept in the car to save on rent, and often visited 350 days a year through the black neighborhoods of Cleveland from Newark to Houston.

When he got the idea in 2002, bringing his comedy to the screen, it might be the major studios rejected. "True blacks are lost, but for movies anyway," he is a representative of Paramount Pictures said openly.

Perry has made every effort to rebut this: He made disparaging remarks of his white boss in a studio down the country churches, sold-out spectacle. With a predictable effect: the public was outraged boos and prompted more than ever watching Perry debut album "Diary Of A Mad Black Woman" film. For many it was the first time they entered a of the most infamous play of light.

And it's probably "Madea Goes to Jail" not be the last film in cinema history of Perry wrote down. Grandmother Madea in Afro-America has long past to become a pop icon. A force of nature, which is not without a plan to stop by to Gag Gag shaking scenarios. Weaknesses of all directed with heart and down to earth wisdom compensates.

And if the "New York Times" Perry as "one of the few genuine populists in the American film industry" means, it could go no recommendation Oscar. Black filmmakers but take it as a compliment. Finally, to Hollywood at the end figures count only cash.

Bobby Petrino: Who Is Jessica Dorrell, Passenger In Arkansas Coach's Motorcycle Accident?

Arkansas Razorbacks football coach Bobby Petrino had a 25-year-old woman (Jessica Dorrell, pictured here) riding with him on his motorcycle when he crashed the vehicle over the weekend in an accident that led to his hospitalization, according to a police report of the incident released by the Arkansas State Police.

The report indicated 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell, was a passenger on the motorcycle. She was not taken to the hospital for injuries. Dorrell is an assistant director of the University's Razorback Foundation.
Petrino, 51, is married with four children and did not indicate that he was riding with a passenger when he held a news conference about the incident Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

The school also said in an earlier statement that the accident "involved no other individuals," according to arkansassports360.com.

A University of Arkansas spokesman said the university was working on a statement in light of the development.

Petrino suffered a broken rib and a strained neck in the one-vehicle crash, which occurred Sunday night on Arkansas Highway 16 in Madison County near Crosses, a small town about 20 miles from the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville.

Petrino, who coached at the University of Louisville and the NFL's Atlanta Falcons before becoming head coach at Arkansas, guided the Razorbacks to an 11-2 record last season, which included a 29-16 victory over Kansas State in the Cotton Bowl.
Dorrell was also engaged to Josh Morgan and her wedding is scheduled for June, according to weddingchannel.com.

The 25-year-old woman played volleyball at Arkansas and earned All-SEC honors, according to her bio. She graduated from the univeristy in 2008 with a degree in finance and marketing and earned her master's in business administration at the school in 2010.

Bobby Petrino, Arkansas Football Coach, Admits to Affair with Employee

University of Arkansas Head Football Coach Bobby Petrino was placed on administrative leave yesterday after he admitted to a "previous inappropriate relationship" with a former student and current school employee.
Athletic Director Jeff Long made the announcement at a press conference, as the news came to light after Petrino was involved in a motorcycle accident this week and forced to admit he was riding with 25-year old Jessica Dorrell.

"I'm at the beginning of the review. I don't know what I'm going to find," Long said. "I hope to have a resolution soon. I certainly don't have all the answers here tonight, as we meet. But again, I have an obligation and responsibility to obtain the information and then act appropriately on that information."

Petrino is married with four children.

At his press conference on Tuesday, following the crash, he claimed he was alone on the vehicle. But a police report released later in the week revealed otherwise, forcing the coach to reveal the truth about Dorrell.

Said Petrino - who is already widely hated by football fans after he bailed on the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, just 13 games into his first season at their helm - in a statement:

"My concern was to protect my family and a previous inappropriate relationship from becoming public," he said. "In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details. Today, I've acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration.

"I will fully cooperate with the university throughout this process and my hope is to repair my relationships with my family, my athletic director, the Razorback Nation and remain the head coach of the Razorbacks."

Kanye West for Lyrics in "Theraflu"

Kanye West had the internet buzzing last night as Funk Master Flex dropped a new joint from the G.O.O.D. Music general titled "Theraflu". In the song he references his love for Kim Kardashian and somewhat disses her ex, Kris Humphries.
Though the song became immensely popular last night alone, Kanye managed to get on the wrong side of the PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) Organization with one his lyrics in a line which referenced him dragging his mink coat on the floor.
"Tell PETA my mink is draggin' on the floor" is the line that got the organization's Senior VP Dan Matthews irate, which led him to respond to Kanye.
"What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings. He's a great musician but doesn't seem to have the fashion sense to design anything more than caveman costumes. We keep hoping that one day he'll find his heart and join evolved style icons—including Russell Simmons, Pink, and Natalie Portman—who have dropped animal skins."
This marks the second time Matthews has had to comment on Kanye's fur attire, as he and and ex-girlfriend were draped in fur coats for Fashion Week a few years ago.
"Kanye can't help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show. He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo."
Kanye West has yet to respond and there's no telling if he will or not. But knowing 'Ye, the hip hop world should be on the lookout for a lyrical retaliation.

Dallas Tornado Video Shows Twisters Tearing Apart Texas,No One Dead as Damage is Widespread

Tornadoes and severe storms ripped through the Dallas area, injuring residents and destroying hundreds of homes.

The National Weather Service reported over a dozen tornados touched down in Dallas and Fort Worth area Tuesday during what seemed to be the peak of tornado season for the region.

Tornado season typically peaks in April and stretches from March to June. And according to the Associated Press, the severe storms were a result of slow-moving storm system centered over northern New Mexico.

The many twisters (the exact number of tornados won’t be known until officials survey the area and damage) ripped roofs off of homes, tossed tractor trailers and caused hundreds of flights into the area to be canceled or diverted.

According to reports, over 600 homes were damaged due to the twisters while tens of thousands of homes lost power for a better part of Tuesday. While the twisters wreaked havoc on the Dallas area, at the moment there have been no reported fatalities and only a handful of people injured.

Roy Williams is making yet another straw man

I am reading through god, actually, by Roy Williams and I have decided that I am going to be blogging about all off the big errors he makes in his logic. Today’s post will be about how Roy has yet again oversimplified and misrepresented atheism, agnosticism and skepticism. Roy has made the claim that atheists fall into two categories when it comes to how we perceive ourselves (humans) in the universe. He has summed them up as follows:-
One extreme is the belief that humans are just another animal, they are in no way different from chimps or mice or dogs or frogs or sheep or mosquitoes.
The other end of the spectrum is that humans are superior to all other things in the universe, and are very special. and are gods of the universe, humanism. 
Williams then shoots down the first point by saying that humans are a special sort of animal, with conscience and cognition.
He also then dismantled humanism by saying that we do not have free power over the whole universe, and that we do not have the whole universe to use as a mining site.
I am going to be arguing about these two misconceptions in today’s post.
When Williams states that some atheists believe that humans are just other animals, to some extent I agree with him, but he has taken it beyond the extreme, a classic straw man argument. Any atheist who believes that humans are just another mammal will agree that humans are a very unique type of animal. We do have very good cognition and a conscience to base our decisions on. but atheists do not say that humans are just exactly like chimps and apes and we have no special worth on this planet.
The other end of the spectrum is also just the same straw man. Most humanists believe that humans are a special type of mammal, but that they have arrived out of all other mammals. No humanist that I know believes that humans are gods of this planet.
Williams then asserts that humans are unique and that this must mean that there is a god which designed us. I do not think that this is a logically valid assumption. It is easily explained by nature how a species like us could have come into being, but I will talk about that tomorrow night.
I will leave you with a quote from John Ralston Saul, “Humanism: an exaltation of freedom, but one limited by our need to exercise it as an integral part of nature and society.” John Ralston Saul, a Canadian author of some note.
