Higgs discovery: giants of physics overlooked

Last week's discovery of the Higgs boson was the result of an international collaboration involving thousands of scientists, but it seems two nations feel their contribution has been overlooked.

An article published in Pakistan's Express Tribune last Friday detailed how Pakistani physicist Abdus Salam, with Americans Steven Weinberg and Sheldon Glashow, developed the electroweak theory that unifies two of the four fundamental forces. Their work helped complete the standard model, of which the Higgs is the final part to be observed, and won the trio the 1979 Nobel prize for physics.

Despite his success, Salam was forced to leave Pakistan in the 1970s because he was a member of the Ahmadi movement, an offshoot of mainstream Islam that was outlawed by the Pakistani government.

Meanwhile, the day after CERN's announcement of a new particle, the Indian Press Information Bureau put out a press release entitled "Satyendranath Bose: Higgs-Boson's Forgotten Hero". Bose was an Indian physicist who worked with Einstein to understand the behaviour of subatomic particles that were later dubbed bosons.

Some physicists think the link between either researcher and the Higgs discovery is tenuous. "Bose is one of the great physicists who missed a Nobel," says Frank Close at the University of Oxford. However, his work only indirectly underpins last week's discovery. Salam, meanwhile, "has no claim on the Higgs boson", Close says.

Higgs and his colleagues did their work in 1964. It was one of those colleagues ? Tom Kibble ? who used the information as the basis of our modern picture of subatomic particles, and later influenced Salam, says Close. "If anyone deserves recognition beyond Higgs, it is in my opinion Kibble, who incidentally was born in India."

Nevertheless, "among physicists both [Salam and Bose] are regarded as giants", says Jim Al-Khalili, a physicist at the University of Surrey, UK. "Science transcends such petty distinctions as race, nationality or religion. If only the wider world did too."

Corporations, Trusts, Associations & LLCs | The Startup Gargage

A Non-Profit organization can be structured in several different ways. ?Depending on your organization?s liability risk, the type of activities your organization wishes to engage in, and the complexity of your finances, one of the following structures may suit you best:

Corporations

  • A corporation is a separate legal entity that has the capacity to sue and be sued, to own property and to make contracts.
  • A corporation must be registered with the state and requires the most amount of steps to be established or dissolved.? The law that governs a corporation is extensive and clear compared to the law governing an unincorporated association.
  • Members, directors and officers of a non-profit corporation are protected from personal liability for the debts of the corporation.
  • For a detailed explanation of the types of non-profit corporations, please read our blog post entitled Corporations: Public Benefit, Mutual Benefit or Religious.

Trusts

  • A trust exists when a person (the trustee) holds legal title to property but is under an obligation to use or hold the property for a charitable purpose.? ?A ?charitable purpose? can be religious, charitable, scientific, literary, educational, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals.
  • A trust would be the best option if the organization is primarily intended to hold, manage, or distribute property.

Unincorporated Associations

  • An unincorporated association is the least formal structure, and exists when two or more members with a common purpose mutually agree to engage in a lawful activity.
  • An unincorporated association, like a corporation, can sue and be sued, enter into contracts, and acquire and hold interest in property.
  • Unincorporated associations do enjoy some limitation on the liability of the management and staff of the organization, but the extent of personal liability is uncertain and depends on the nature of the situation and whether or not the individual assumed personal liability under the law.

LLCs

  • The LLC structure provides personal liability protection for the directors and officers of a non-profit but is easier to file for and manage compared to a corporation.
  • A non-profit LLC can file for federal tax-exempt status.? However, an LLC will only be recognized as tax-exempt in certain situations, such as when the members are exempt organizations themselves.?? For this reason, the main uses of a non-profit LLCs are by?exempt organizations for managing subsidiary and joint-venture activities, as well as for holding title to property.

A corporation is the most commonly chosen form for a Non-Profit, and next I will explain the different types of corporations your Non-Profit can incorporate as.

NASA's Aqua satellite providing 2 views of Hurricane Emilia

NASA's Aqua satellite has several instruments onboard that are providing forecasters with different views of Hurricane Emilia in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. The infrared view hinted that Emilia would strengthen and it regained Category 3 Hurricane status today.

On Wednesday, July 11, 2012 at 2120 UTC (5:20 p.m. EDT/2:20 p.m. PDT), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument captured a visible image of Hurricane Emilia that showed an eye with some high clouds overhead. The next day, Thursday, July 12, the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on Aqua captured an infrared image of Hurricane Emilia at 0929 UTC / 5:29 a.m. EDT. The infrared data showed strong thunderstorms and cold cloud tops surrounding the eye of the hurricane. Some of the cloud top temperatures were almost as cold as 210 kelvin (-81.6 Fahrenheit/-63.1 Celsius), indicating powerful thunderstorms approaching the top of the troposphere.

Those observations of powerful thunderstorms around Emilia's eye happened before Emilia again strengthened and were an indication that the storm would intensify. By 11 a.m. EDT on July 12, Emilia's maximum sustained winds had increased again to near 115 mph (185 kmh) and Emilia regained category three hurricane status on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. The center of Hurricane Emilia was located near latitude 15.1 north and longitude 121.4 west. That's about 925 miles (1485 km) southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Emilia is moving toward the west near 12 mph (19 kmh) and this general motion is expected to continue for the next two days. Because Emilia is headed toward cooler waters, she is again expected to weaken over the next several days.

Lies and Libor

If this sounds like a remarkably flimsy form of economic data, it is. It?s just a guess, not a real measurement of anything. And it?s generated by a trade group, not a regulatory agency. And it?s self-reported, not based on any public data. But over the decades Libor came to take on a foundational role in prosaic economic transactions. In a world of large multifaceted financial-services firms, the quirks of the Libor process were a conflict-of-interest disaster waiting to happen. One unit of a BBA member bank could be cruising along, minding its own business, doing its morning Libor submissions, while another arm of the bank was trading interest rate swaps, currency futures, or other derivatives. Some of those trades? successes or failures could come to hinge on whether the Libor went up or down. But the Libor?s not external to the banks? activities, and it?s not an objective measurement of anything. A bank could try to tailor its Libor submissions to meet the needs of its trading desk rather than offering good-faith estimates.

HTC confirms another tablet coming to the UK

HTC has kept pretty quiet on the tablet front, aside from some Windows brou-ha-ha. But according to PC Advisor, the company has plans to launch another tablet on British shores. The Flyer remains the last tablet to arrive -- due to a lack of 4G networks, the Jetstream didn't make the trip across the Atlantic. It remains a very vague tease, with no promise of a launch even within the year and not even a nod to whether the OS will be Android or something else altogether. HTC's apparently holding back until it has something unique to offer, a strategy that other companies seem to be following in a bid to avoid the pile of tablet also-rans.

First-of-its-kind approach nanomedicine design effectively targets cancer with decreased toxicity

ScienceDaily (July 10, 2012) ? Researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) are the first to report a new approach that integrates rational drug design with supramolecular nanochemistry in cancer treatment.

Supramolecular chemistry is the development of complex chemical systems using molecular building blocks. The researchers utilized such methods to create nanoparticles that significantly enhanced antitumor activity with decreased toxicity in breast and ovarian cancer models.

"This work is effectively moving beyond using nanotechnology as drug 'delivery' vehicles to reengineering drugs themselves so that they become nanomedicines." said Shiladitya Sengupta, PhD, MSc, BWH associate bioengineer, and senior study author.

The study is published in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

The researchers used cisplatin-a drug of choice for first and second line chemotherapy-as a template. They designed a cisplatin nanoparticle that incorporated various components, namely a unique platinum (II) tethered to a cholesterol backbone, that helped foster an environment that facilitated efficient nanoparticle assembly.

The researchers found that the innovative nanoparticles they developed were more effective compared to carboplatin or cisplatin in vitro, and remained active in cisplatin-resistant conditions.

"In the last 30 years, there have only been three platins that have been approved for use in almost all cancers," said Sengupta. "A fourth platin that homes preferentially to the tumor, is more potent, but is safer to use at the same time can have major impact on chemotherapy."

Given that platinum-based chemotherapies serve as the frontline therapy for many cancers, the researchers are optimistic that the increased efficacy and toxicity profile demonstrated by their design may lead to the next generation platinum-based agents in the fight against cancer.

Attorney says charge vs Vikings RB Peterson a lie

(AP) ? Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson was a victim, not the aggressor, during an altercation with authorities that led to his arrest at a Houston night club over the weekend, his attorney said Monday.

Peterson, a Texas native who makes his offseason home in Houston, was arrested and taken to jail early Saturday morning and charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor. Police said he pushed an off-duty police officer who was working security at the club. An initial court appearance is set for Friday.

Peterson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, called the charge and the allegation that he shoved the officer "a total fabrication."

"He, in fact, was struck at least twice in the face for absolutely no legitimate reason, and when all the evidence is impartially reviewed, it will clearly show Adrian was the victim, not the aggressor," Hardin said in a statement.

Houston police declined comment on the details.

"It's now a matter for the courts," police spokesman Kese Smith said.

Hardin said the Bayou Club owes Peterson an apology after comments from a manager surfaced alleging that Peterson was drunk, unruly and disrespectful to security officers trying to get him to leave at closing time.

"He was only in that club for 30 to 40 minutes, was never objectionable to other patrons, and never physically resisted any police officer," Hardin said. "Adrian is extremely upset about these false allegations. These charges are totally at odds with the way he has conducted himself throughout his career, and he asks that his fans and the public at large reserve judgment until they hear all the facts."

Aside from the occasional speeding ticket, Peterson has been a model citizen ever since he was drafted by the Vikings in 2007. On a team that has often struggled with players getting arrested or causing trouble off the field, Peterson has taken pride in conducting himself with dignity and representing the franchise in a positive light.

"Thank you for waiting for the facts," Peterson tweeted on Sunday. "Truth will surface."

Peterson has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL over the last five years and is rehabbing a torn ACL in his left knee in hopes of being ready for the start of the upcoming season.

Hardin represented Roger Clemens in his recent perjury case. Clemens was charged with lying to Congress when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs. He was retried this year and found not guilty on all counts.
