'Nobody saw it coming,' Reeva Steenkamp's uncle says
By Tracy Connor, Staff Writer, NBC News
An uncle of slain model Reeva Steenkamp said he "can't answer" whether Oscar Pistiorius killed her on purpose but did say no one in the family had any idea the golden couple's romance would end so tragically.
"Nobody ever saw it coming," Mike Steenkamp told Rock Center with Brian Williams.
"Never forewarned."
Steenkamp, who gave the eulogy at his niece's funeral last week, said her parents Barry and June are so awash in grief they have not paid much attention to the legal drama that played out in a South African courtroom where Pistorius was freed on bail Friday.
They are focused, instead, on precious memories of a 29-year-old who hoped to make a difference with her law degree and who was excited about her starring role in a reality TV show that did not air until after her death.
"The saving grace was they never put all their anger onto the situation," Steenkamp said of the family's emotional state.
"Their focus was completely on Reeva," he told NBC's Mary Carillo.
"Nothing will be done until everything takes its course and only then will there be a reaction."
Of Pistorius, he added, "I don't like to comment on the way he is and what he does and the way things happened...I'll wait for that to sort itself out."
Pistorius, 26, is accused of intentionally shooting Steenkamp through the bathroom door of his home after a blazing Valentine's Day argument.
The double-amputee Olympic runner maintains he didn't know his girlfriend of four months was in the bathroom and that he thought there was a prowler.
Mike Steenkamp said his niece had been in an abusive relationship once and didn't "tolerate" domestic violence. Asked whether that meant she would have known if she was in danger from Pistorius, the uncle said, "it's very possible" but wouldn't comment on their relationship except to say they "looked happy."
"That's all gonna come out in the end," he said.
In the meantime, he said, her parents' "daily life is bumped up on tears and heartache."
"Mention the name of Reeva and he'll break down," he said of his brother. "And June, as well."
June Steenkamp managed to watch the first episode of her daughter's reality show, "Tropika Island," when it aired last week, ?but her husband had to leave the room.
In one outtake exclusively obtained by "Rock Center," the model talks about a horse-back riding accident she had a few years earlier that landed her in the hospital for a month -- and altered her plans for the future.
"I'm a model," she says. "I have a law degree as well, so hopefully one day I can be an advocate. But right now I'm enjoying traveling and being behind the camera."
Crew members are mourning her, too.
"She never changed, whether she was in front of the camera or off camera," cameraman James Boon said. "She was definitely the genuine article."

Mercury may have harbored an ancient magma ocean
Friday, February 22, 2013
By analyzing Mercury's rocky surface, scientists have been able to partially reconstruct the planet's history over billions of years. Now, drawing upon the chemical composition of rock features on the planet's surface, scientists at MIT have proposed that Mercury may have harbored a large, roiling ocean of magma very early in its history, shortly after its formation about 4.5 billion years ago.
The scientists analyzed data gathered by MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging), a NASA probe that has orbited the planet since March 2011. Later that year, a group of scientists analyzed X-ray fluorescence data from the probe, and identified two distinct compositions of rocks on the planet's surface. The discovery unearthed a planetary puzzle: What geological processes could have given rise to such distinct surface compositions?
To answer that question, the MIT team used the compositional data to recreate the two rock types in the lab, and subjected each synthetic rock to high temperatures and pressures to simulate various geological processes. From their experiments, the scientists came up with only one phenomenon to explain the two compositions: a vast magma ocean that created two different layers of crystals, solidified, then eventually remelted into magma that then erupted onto Mercury's surface.
"The thing that's really amazing on Mercury is, this didn't happen yesterday," says Timothy Grove, a professor of geology at MIT. "The crust is probably more than 4 billion years old, so this magma ocean is a really ancient feature."
Grove, along with postdoc Bernard Charlier and Maria Zuber, the E.A. Griswold Professor of Geophysics and Planetary Science and now MIT's vice president for research, published the results in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.
Making Mercury's rocks
MESSENGER entered Mercury's orbit during a period of intense solar-flare activity; as the solar system's innermost planet, Mercury takes the brunt of the sun's rays. The rocks on its surface reflect an intense fluorescent spectrum that scientists can measure with X-ray spectrometers to determine the chemical composition of surface materials.
As the spacecraft orbited the planet, an onboard X-ray spectrometer measured the X-ray radiation generated by Mercury's surface. In September 2011, the MESSENGER science team parsed these energy spectra into peaks, with each peak signifying a certain chemical element in the rocks. From this research, the group identified two main rock types on Mercury's surface.
Grove, Charlier and Zuber set out to find an explanation for the differences in rock compositions. The team translated the chemical element ratios into the corresponding building blocks that make up rocks, such as magnesium oxide, silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide. The researchers then consulted what Grove refers to as a "pantry of oxides" ? finely powdered chemicals ? to recreate the rocks in the lab.
"We just mix these together in the right proportions and we've got a synthetic copy of what's on the surface of Mercury," Grove says.
Crystals in the melt
The researchers then melted the samples of synthetic rock in a furnace, cranking the heat up and down to simulate geological processes that would cause crystals ? and eventually rocks ? to form in the melt.
"You can tell what would happen as the melt cools and crystals form and change the chemical composition of the remaining melted rock," Grove says. "The leftover melt changes composition."
After cooling the samples, the researchers picked out tiny crystals and melt pockets for analysis. The scientists initially looked for scenarios in which both original rock compositions might be related. For example, both rock types may have come from one region: One rock may have crystallized more than the other, creating distinct but related compositions.
But Grove found the two compositions were too different to have originated from the same region, and instead may have come from two separate regions within the planet. The easiest explanation for what created these distinct regions, Grove says, is a large magma ocean, which over time likely formed different compositions of crystals as it solidified. This molten ocean eventually remelted, spewing lava onto the surface of the planet in massive volcanic eruptions.
Grove estimates that this magma ocean likely existed very early in Mercury's existence ? possibly within the first 1 million to 10 million years ? and may have been created from the violent processes that formed the planet. As the solar nebula condensed, bits and pieces collided into larger chunks to form tiny, and then larger, planets. That process of colliding and accreting may produce enough energy to completely melt the planet ? a scenario that would make an early magma ocean very feasible.
"The acquisition of data by spacecraft must be combined with laboratory experiments," Charlier says. "Although these data are valuable by themselves, experimental studies on these compositions enable scientists to reach the next level in the interpretation of planetary evolution."

Metallica To The U.S. Military: Stop Using Our Music for Torture
The U.S. Navy Seal that shot terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden (known only as ?the Shooter?) tells Esquire Magazine that heavy metal band Metallica was insistent that interrogators cease using the band?s music to ?soften? terror suspects up prior to their interrogations.
As he explains: ?When we first started the war in Iraq, we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them.?Metallica got wind of this and they said, ?Hey, please don?t use our music because we don?t want to promote violence.? I thought, ?Dude, you have an album called ?Kill ?Em All?.?
In a 2008 interview with Germany-language TV network 3SAT, Metallica vocalist-guitarist James Hetfield was asked about the reported use of his band?s music on Guantanamo Bay prisoners. He told the network that the group was conflicted concerning the use of their music before ultimately deciding that they did not want to be associated with the war.
?Part of me is proud because they chose Metallica,? Hetfield said at the time. ?And then part of me is kind of bummed about it that people?worry about us being attached to some political statement because of that. We?ve got nothing to do with this and we?re trying to be as apolitical as possible, ?cause I think politics and music, at least for us, don?t mix.?
As per the band?s wishes, the U.S Navy ceased using Metallica?s music to psychologically intimidate detainees. Now, if we can just turn their attention towards Justin Bieber?

Los Angeles Web Design Experts Encourage Diligence in Personal ...
Los Angeles web design experts create websites that are safe for consumers but extra care still needs to be practiced by consumers who use the internet.
?
Los Angeles web design companies specialize in creating websites that are as unique as the individual requesting it.? They know the best ways to reach thousands of people as new potential customers.? Along with the benefit of attracting strangers comes the risk associated with it as well.? Great care needs to be taken when creating a website to ensure that personal information is only used for its intended means.? When information is taken by the wrong person, catastrophic results can follow.? Internet security is an important part of today?s world.? As much as companies will take every precaution necessary to protect its customers and their customers, the onus is also on the website user themselves to make sure that they are not giving out information to the wrong people.
?
As a consumer, one of the most important things to look for when doing business transactions online is the start of the website address.? A website that starts with ?http:? is a general web page and is not fully protected. It is available to the general public or by anybody that accidentally stumbles across its address.? Los Angeles web design companies will take extra precaution with sites that need to utilize personal information along with financial transactions. Websites such as these will start with ?https:?or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) which provide extra security to users.? The information transmitted on these sites is encrypted, protecting the user from stolen personal data.? Never input credit card or banking information onto a webpage that does not provide this protection.
?
One of the most popular ways to keep in touch with friends and family has been online interaction. Social sites and forums provide easy and convenient ways to converse with others around the globe.? Los Angeles web design companies can give you direction on how to keep your information safe.? Never publicly display your name, address, birthday and image together on any webpage.? List as little about yourself as possible. By providing this information, you have given thieves everything they need for identity theft. By having your name and birthday, they are able to obtain credit reports as well as other relevant information about yourself. By also adding in your address and image, you have provided everything that is needed to locate you or impersonate you. This becomes even more relevant on social sites where users happily post information about their upcoming holidays and vacations. You have now given somebody your home address and the dates when it will be vacant.? Save that information until after you have returned from holidays and restrict how much detail you put publicly online.
?
Online advertising is part of the internet. After all, this is another way to generate business to your own website.? Your Los Angeles web design company can give you some fantastic ideas on how to generate more traffic to your own site by advertising on others.? However, from the consumer angle, be very careful on which links you follow.? When clicking on a link, hover your mouse over it and carefully read the URL it will be taking you too. Depending on the browser you use, it normally appears along the bottom of the page.? The actual link address is exactly where you will be going.? Be aware of links that do not seem to match the appropriate page or links that claim to be a part of the website you are on but take you to another site entirely. These types of links can leave unpleasant ?information on your computer and long lasting issues.
?
When it comes to websites both the company and consumer need to take care that information is not sent to the wrong people.? Your Los Angeles web design company will have fantastic ways to ensure that the proper precautions are being used when designing a website. Talk to them to see that suggestions they will have for you.

Isotopic data show farming arrived in Europe with migrants

MADISON For decades, archaeologists have debated how farming spread to Stone Age Europe, setting the stage for the rise of Western civilization.
Now, new data gleaned from the teeth of prehistoric farmers and the hunter-gatherers with whom they briefly overlapped shows that agriculture was introduced to Central Europe from the Near East by colonizers who brought farming technology with them.
"One of the big questions in European archaeology has been whether farming was brought or borrowed from the Near East," says T. Douglas Price, a University of Wisconsin-Madison archaeologist who, with Cardiff University's Dusan Boric, measured strontium isotopes in the teeth of 153 humans from Neolithic burials in an area known as the Danube Gorges in modern Romania and Serbia.
The report, which appears this week (Feb. 11, 2013) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, draws on isotopic signatures of strontium found in the tooth enamel of people who died nearly 8,000 years ago, about 6,200 B.C. Strontium is a chemical found in rocks everywhere. It enters the body through diet at or around birth and etches an indelible signature in teeth that accurately documents the geology of an individual's birthplace.
"The evidence from the Danube Gorges shows clearly that new people came in bringing farming and replaced the earlier Mesolithic hunter-gatherers," says Price, a UW-Madison professor of anthropology and an expert on early agriculture in Europe.
The Danube Gorges slice through the Carpathian Mountains and in the Stone Age were a heavily forested setting, rich in fish and game, including huge sturgeon, catfish, red deer and wild boar. The bends and twists of the Danube in the Gorges region made it especially important as a source of fish, and thus potentially a desirable entryway to Europe for highly mobile and expanding Neolithic communities accompanied by their domesticates wheat, barley, flax, goats and cattle.
The new research, explains Price, speaks to the question of colonization versus adoption of transformative technologies such as farming. "It is also useful because it suggests another route across the Black Sea or up the east coast of Bulgaria to the Danube for farmers moving into Europe. This contrasts with movement by sea across the Mediterranean or Aegean, which is the standard picture."
Archaeologists have long wrestled with the question of how farming spread across Europe, ushering in a host of technologies, including the use of pottery, that ultimately led to the rise Western civilizations. Two big ideas have dominated the debate: Did the technology arrive with colonizers from Asia, notably Anatolia or modern Turkey? Or did the technology, including newly domesticated plants and animals, simply diffuse across the European landscape through networks of local foragers?
There is some evidence for the importation of early agriculture along the shores of the Mediterranean and in Central Europe, Price notes, "but elsewhere in Europe it is not clear whether it was colonists or locals adopting."
Isotopic studies of strontium and other chemicals found in the teeth and bones of Neolithic humans, however, are now helping archaeologists better track the movement of ancient peoples across the landscape. Strontium signatures last not just a lifetime, but potentially thousands of years as tooth enamel, the densest tissue in the body, resists decomposition and contamination after death. It is now commonly used by archaeologists to determine if an individual was local or foreign to the place where their remains were discovered.
An interesting finding of the study is that 8,000 years ago, when Neolithic farmers were beginning to migrate into the Danube Gorges and overlap with Mesolithic hunter-gatherers, more women than men were identified as foreigners. A possible explanation for the variance, according to the study, is that women came to these sites from Neolithic farming communities as part of an ongoing social exchange.
In the Danube Gorges, the overlap of colonizing early farmers and hunter-gatherers lasted perhaps a couple of hundred years before the forager societies were completely absorbed by the beginning of the sixth millennium B.C.

Assisted suicide on legal agenda in several states
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) ? A push for the legalization of physician-assisted suicide is under way in a half-dozen states where proponents say they see strong support for allowing doctors to prescribe mentally competent, dying individuals with the medications needed to end their own lives.
The large number of baby boomers facing end-of-life issues themselves is seen to have made the issue more prominent in recent years. Groups such as Compassion & Choices, a national end-of-life advocacy organization, have been working to advance the cause.
Advocates received a boost from last year's ballot question in Massachusetts on whether to allow physicians to help the terminally ill die. Although the vote failed, it helped to spark a national discussion, said Mickey MacIntyre, chief program officer for Compassion & Choices.
"The Massachusetts initiative lifted the consciousness of the nation and in particular the Northeast region to this issue that there are other alternatives patients and their families should have an opportunity to access," MacIntyre said.
Bills legalizing assisted suicide are being considered in Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Kansas and Hawaii ? and in Massachusetts, where proponents decided to resume their efforts after the public vote, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which tracks legislative trends. There are also bills related to the issue under consideration in New Hampshire, New York, Arizona and Montana.
In Connecticut, which has banned the practice since 1969, a group of lawmakers said Tuesday that the legislature's first public hearing on the subject would probably be held this month. At least two bills on the issue have so far been proposed in this year's session of the Connecticut legislature.
If the General Assembly votes to legalize the practice, it would be the first state legislature to do so.
Oregon and Washington have passed right-to-die laws, but they did so through voter referendums. Montana's Supreme Court has ruled that the practice of physicians helping terminally ill patients could be considered part of medical treatments. Thirty-four states prohibit assisted suicide outright. Seven others, including Massachusetts, banned it through legal precedent.
Opponents claim the initiatives in Connecticut are being pushed only by outside groups like Compassion & Choices.
"There's no grass-roots cry for assisted suicide in the state of Connecticut," said Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the socially conservative Family Institute. "This is mostly an out-of-state organization that has targeted the state of Connecticut. They look at the Northeast and think this is low-hanging fruit: 'We can conduct our social experiments here in the Northeastern United States.'"
In fact, one bill has been filed in Connecticut this year that would establish a mandatory minimum prison term for someone charged with second-degree manslaughter after assisting another person with committing suicide.
A measure dubbed "end of life choices" recently sped through the Vermont Senate Health and Welfare Committee but is expected to face a bumpier ride in the Judiciary Committee. In New Jersey, a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of medication for terminally ill patients wishing to take their own lives cleared an Assembly committee Thursday. That legislation would ultimately be subject to voter approval.
Last November, voters in Massachusetts narrowly defeated a measure legalizing physician-assisted suicide for the terminally ill. Supporters of the concept said they hoped the debate would continue and marked the beginning of a conversation to improve end-of-life care.
In Connecticut, Dr. Gary Blick, a Norwalk physician who specializes in treating patients with HIV and AIDS, said he believes the time is right for state lawmakers to push ahead with this issue. In 2009, he and Dr. Ron Levine, of Greenwich, along with end-of-life advocates, sued to seek a clarification of the state's decades-old ban on assisted suicide, citing concerns about Connecticut doctors being prosecuted for giving medications to their dying patients.
A judge ultimately dismissed the suit, saying it was a matter for the legislature to decide.
The 1969 Connecticut law states that a person who "intentionally causes or aids another person, other than by force, duress or deception, to commit suicide" is guilty of second-degree manslaughter.
Blick said not all dying patients will want the ability to take their own life, but he said they should be given the choice.
"This is not for everybody. We do realize there are people that do not believe in this for religious beliefs, and I respect that. There are no issues over that," he said. "But there are those subsets of people that do not want to go through the suffering that they have to go through."
Cathy Ludlum, of Manchester, a disabled-rights activist who has spinal muscular atrophy, said she is concerned the Public Health Committee has decided to hold the public hearing and worries the issue of doctor-assisted suicide will not go away soon.
"Until people are really educated about the issues, it's going to keep coming up, even if it's defeated this time," she said, adding how she wants lawmakers to focus more on "giving people a good life than giving people a good death."

Hospice use is up for dying elderly patients, but so is needlessly ...
When surveyed, Americans tend to say they would prefer to die at home rather than in a hospital. And an increasing number of them are doing just that. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [PDF], 24 percent of people over the age of 65 died at home in 2007, up from 15 percent in 1989.
So it?s not surprising that the use of hospice services among terminally ill older Americans has also risen significantly over the past decade. Some 42.2 percent of Medicare patients received hospice services in 2009 compared to only 21.6 percent in 2000, according to a new study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
But do those trends mean fewer older Americans are receiving needlessly aggressive end-of-life hospital care?
Not necessarily. The JAMA study also found that although more terminally ill people over the age of 65 are dying in hospices, more are also being treated aggressively ? and repeatedly ? in hospital intensive care units (ICUs) during the final 30 days of their life. Often, they are transferred to a hospice just a day or two before they die.
?Our results confirm the previous CDC report that more people are dying at home and people are less likely to die in an acute-care hospital,? said the report?s lead author, Dr. Joan Teno, in a video that accompanied the release of the study. ?But our results raise concern about the pathway that people take to dying at home.? Teno is a palliative care physician and professor of health services, policy and practice at Brown University.
For the study, Teno and her colleagues analyzed the Medicare data of a random sample of about 850,000 older Americans (aged 66+) who died either in 2000, 2005, or 2009. Before they died, all had been diagnosed as being in the terminal stages of a chronic disease, such as cancer, chronic pulmonary disease or dementia. The researchers examined where these patients died, what kind of medical care they received during the last three months of their lives, and for how long.
The analysis revealed the following trends from 2000 to 2009:
- The rate of Medicare patients receiving care in a hospital ICU during the last 30 days of life increased by 23 percent.
- The rate of transitions from one institution to another that the patients had to make during the last 90 days of life (for example, from nursing home to hospital or from hospital to hospice) increased by 48 percent.
- The percentage of patients who were moved during the last three days of life went from 10.3 percent in 2000 to 16.5 percent in 2009.
- More than 11 percent of the Medicare patients who died in 2009 had three or more hospitalizations during the last 90 days of life.
- Although hospice use among the Medicare patients more than doubled, to 42.2 percent in 2009, some 28.4 percent of those patients received such services for three days or less. And about one-third of those short hospice stays were preceded by an ICU stay.
?We found, overall, the pattern of healthcare utilization for dying patients between 2000 and 2009 is best summarized by more ICU utilization, more repeat hospitalizations and more transitions in the last three days of life,? said Teno.
?The importance of our study is to reflect on how we?re taking care of dying patients in the United States,? she added. ??What are the policy changes that we need to do to ensure that a patient?s wishes are honored in the last days of life? We want to incentivize physicians to talk openly with patients about their prognosis, about what the patient?s goals of care are, and make sure they are creating a care plan that honors that dying patient?s wishes.?

Disabled worker awarded $130000 settlement in discrimination case
If you worked for a company that specialized in litigation management products for law firms and corporate legal departments, you'd assume that they knew what they were doing when it came to employment law. You'd also assume that they'd follow all the rules associated with making sure that your rights were protected, right?
Unfortunately, this was not the case for one Washington man who filed a lawsuit against his employer and a related company for discriminating against his disability then retaliating against him by firing him from his job.
According to the complaint filed with the EEOC, the company knew about his disability-a hearing impairment known as unilateral conductive hearing loss-that gives him full hearing in one ear, but not the other. As a sales representative for the company, he noticed that he was having difficulties hearing phone conversations while working in the noisy environment of the office. His request to telecommute and take business calls from home, though initially approved, was later rescinded without warning or reason.
He complained to management who he claims "failed to provide an alternate reasonable accommodation" for his needs. In addition to the lack of action on their part, he was also fired from his position, a measure he and his lawyer felt constituted as a retaliatory action.
At the end of last month, he was awarded $130,000 in a settlement from the two companies named in the disability discrimination lawsuit.
This is not only a victory for the man but a perfect example for Indiana residents of how to seek compensation in the event that they have been discriminated against by their employer.

Acupuncture for Kids ? Health Hub from Cleveland Clinic
Acupuncture has surprising advantages for kids with health problems. One of the biggest? No side effects. ?A lot of kids are medication-sensitive, and acupuncture doesn?t have the side effects of medication,? explains Cleveland Clinic Children?s Hospital physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist Benjamin Katholi, MD.
Another advantage is fewer doctor visits. ?We can address multiple symptoms in a single treatment just by different point selection,? says Dr. Katholi.
More than a pain reliever
Acupuncture?s use in children and adolescents has mirrored the technique?s rising popularity among adults. A study of 450 children from birth to age 17 who had acupuncture found the technique to be safe in the hands of well-trained practitioners.
Many think acupuncture is just for pain. It can encourage the release of endorphins, the body?s natural painkillers. But acupuncture helps children and teens with a wide range of issues, including:
- Sleep problems
- Anxiety
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Reflux, nausea and stomach pain
- Bone and joint pain
- ADHD
- Asthma and allergies
- Bedwetting
- Drooling
Getting to the point
In acupuncture, local, regional or global (body-wide) points are selected to achieve different effects. ?You can stimulate some of these points or you can calm them in order to reduce certain symptoms,? says Dr. Katholi.
This is done by:
- Gently inserting needles
- Using laser stimulation
- Electrical stimulation
- Acupressure (gentle massage of points)
One step at a time
If children are reluctant to try needles, Dr. Katholi is careful to explain that acupuncture needles are different from the needles used to draw blood. They are hair-thin and nearly painless.
?We can introduce acupressure as the first option for things that might be too painful or anxiety-provoking,? he says. Dr. Katholi actually teaches kids acupressure therapies they can use on themselves at home.
Laser acupuncture can help children who are extremely sensitive to needles. ?When things calm down a little bit, we can introduce needles for greater effect,? Dr. Katholi says.
A complementary treatment
Acupuncture doesn?t replace traditional medical treatment, says Dr. Katholi. ?Acupuncture can?t treat everything; if you have diabetes, you still need insulin. If you have seizures, you still need epilepsy medications. So there?s a place for both.?
He finds acupuncture especially helpful in treating children and teens with complex conditions such as brain injuries or chronic pain. ?Using acupuncture has been very rewarding,? says Dr. Katholi.?

A Hacked Database Prompts Debate about Genetic Privacy
Experts urge transparency and new regulations to protect DNA donors
Image: Flickr/Steve Jurvetson
Linking a human genome in an anonymous sequencing database to its real-world counterpart wasn?t supposed to be possible.
Yaniv Erlich, a geneticist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology?s Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, apparently never got the memo. In the end all it took him and M.I.T. undergraduate student Melissa Gymrek to decipher the identity of 50 individuals whose DNA is available online in free-access databases was a computer and an Internet connection.
Erlich and Gymrek selected 32 male genomes from the 1000 Genomes Project, which has a publicly accessible database designed to help researchers find genes associated with different human diseases. Next, Erlich and Gymrek used an algorithm to extract genetic markers from the DNA sequences. The algorithm is specially designed to hone in on short tandem repeats on a man?s Y chromosome. Y-STRs are passed patrilineally with little to no change from one generation to the next. They provide a way to link an anonymous genome to a particular family surname.
Using meta-data about the anonymous genomes included in the database, the researchers narrowed the field of possible DNA matches down to 10,000 men of a particular age who resided in Utah when they donated their DNA. Erlich and Gymrek then plugged the genomes into two of the Web?s most popular genealogy sites, Ysearch and SMGF. These recreational sites provide free access to databases that connect Y-STR markers to surnames. The researchers found that eight of their samples strongly matched the surnames of Mormon families in Utah. Erlich and Gymrek?s findings were published in the January 17 Science.
The results show that a curious party equipped with open-access information can not only tie a three-billion-digit-long genome directly to an individual, but also can use bits and pieces of that same DNA to identify distant relatives, male or female, of the original genetic donor. ?If your fourth cousin participated in this database, we could use it to find out about your ancestry,? Erlich says.
Whereas privacy concerns about publicly accessible genome data have cropped up in the past with genealogy databases, this is the first time that anyone has connected an anonymous DNA sequence to its donor without donor DNA as a reference.
Genome mining could have serious consequences for DNA donors. Under federal law health insurance companies cannot use genetic data, but there is currently nothing barring companies from using a person?s genome to define life insurance policies or determine long-term disability care. The new research prompted the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to hide people?s ages from federally funded genetic databases such as the 1000 Genomes Project that allow open access to scientists.
Yet the NIH?s strategy may be missing the point, says Lawrence Gostin, a professor of medicine at Georgetown University and director of the World Health Organization?s Collaborating Center on Public Health Law and Human Rights. ?This is not a long-term solution to the problem because in reality there is nothing more personally identifiable than your genome,? he says.
Although only talented geneticists would be able to hack a genome like Erlich did, as computing gets more sophisticated and more data becomes available, the prospect becomes more likely.
Open-access genetic databases make big contributions to medical research, Erlich says. Only through studying diverse groups of individuals can scientists detect DNA variants that affect a person?s susceptibility to medical conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Erlich says identifying characteristics such as hair and eye color, facial features and age greatly contribute to how useful this data is. He says ensuring complete privacy means limiting the use of information that might be used to identify a subject.

Tweetbot for iOS adds in-line Flickr and Vine viewing
Whatever the platform, Tapbots' Tweetbot is known for supporting in-line content viewing that doesn't always appear in other Twitter clients -- it's a survivor of the Instagram-Twitter fallout, for example. With the launch of version 2.7 updates for iOS, the app may have microblog media well and truly covered. The upgrade adds easy Flickr viewing, to accommodate Instagram exiles, as well as quick peeks at Vine's 6-second video loops. Third-party app integration likewise expands its boundaries: links can now open in either 1Password or Chrome, instead of Safari. Both the iPad and iPhone releases are live today, so hit the relevant links to see the imagery you might have been missing.

Probe finds 680 suspicious games
By MIKE CORDER
updated 10:18 a.m. ET Feb. 4, 2013
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - A wide-ranging match-fixing investigation has uncovered more than 680 suspicious games ? including World Cup and European Championship qualifiers and two Champions League games ? and found evidence that a Singapore-based crime gang is closely involved in match-fixing, Europol said Monday.
The investigation by Europol, the European Union's joint police body, found 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America.
"This is a sad day for European (soccer)," Rob Wainwright, the head of Europol, told a news conference. He said criminals were cashing in on soccer corruption "on a scale and in a way that threatens the very fabric of the game."
Europol said 425 match officials, club officials, players and criminals from at least 15 countries were involved in fixing the European soccer games dating back to 2008. The agency declined to name specific suspects, teams or games so as not to disrupt ongoing national police investigations.
It was unclear exactly how many of 680 games mentioned were previously known to have been tainted, but the very public announcement shed light on the murky underworld of match-fixers, who bet on fixed games to reap enormous profits around the globe.
The probe uncovered ?8 million ($10.9 million) in betting profits and ?2 million ($2.7 million) in bribes to players and officials and has already led to several prosecutions.
Those numbers are far lower than many previous estimates of the amount of cash involved in match-fixing and betting on rigged matches, but prosecutors said the amounts they named were what they could directly pin down through 13,000 emails, paper trails, phone records and computer records.
"This is the tip of the iceberg," said German investigator Friedhelm Althans, who also said two World Cup qualification matches in Africa and one in Central America were among those under suspicion.
Wainwright said while many fixed soccer matches were already known from criminal trials in Europe, the Europol investigation that began in July 2011 lifted the lid on the widespread involvement of organized crime in rigging games.
"This is the first time we have established substantial evidence that organized crime is now operating in the world of football," he said. "(That) highlights a big problem for the integrity of football in Europe."
He said a Singapore-based criminal network was involved in the match-fixing, spending up to ?100,000 ($136,500) per match to bribe players and officials.
The global nature of the organized crime syndicates involved makes them hard to track down and prosecute. Europol said a single fixed match can involve up to 50 suspects in 10 different countries.
Europol said the criminal group behind most of the match-fixing was placing bets mainly in Asia.
"The ringleaders are of Asian origin, working closely together with European facilitators," the organization said, but it added that "Russian-speaking" and other criminal gangs were also involved.
Wainwright said the soccer world needed a "concerted effort" now to tackle the corruption. He said he would be sending the results of the investigation to UEFA President Michel Platini.
UEFA, which oversees European soccer and organizes the Champions League, seemed surprised by the breadth of Europol's accusations. It said it expected more information on the Europol investigation shortly.
"Once the details of these investigations are in UEFA's hands, then they will be reviewed by the appropriate disciplinary bodies in order that the necessary measures are taken," UEFA said in a statement.
Previous investigations have found that a World Cup qualifier between Liechtenstein and Finland in September 2009 was fixed by a referee from Bosnia, who UEFA banned for life.
Last year, UEFA expelled a Malta player implicated in fixing a European Championship qualifier between Norway and Malta in June 2007.

Ousted 'Loser' and husband drop 150 pounds
By Ree Hines, TODAY contributor
When mother of four Lisa Rambo arrived on "The Biggest Loser" ranch, she weighed in at 246 pounds. She left the ranch 37 pounds lighter, but her journey didn't end there. Despite being voted out of the competition in week five, she went on to prove she's a "Loser" winner all the same.
"I've lost over 80 pounds so far -- six weeks left to go," Lisa revealed during a Monday morning visit to TODAY.
And her accomplishment goes beyond her own results on the scale. She inspired husband Tony to drop 70 pounds too.
"Between the two of us, we've lost a healthy adult," she boasted of their combined 150-plus-pound loss.
As for the secret to her ongoing success, Lisa credits "Loser" trainer Dolvett Quince with lighting "a fire in (her)," but ultimately chalks it all up to a simple routine.
"Who knew diet and exercise actually works?!" she said with a laugh.
See how Lisa's former fellow contestants are faring on the ranch when "The Biggest Loser" airs Monday at 8 p.m. on NBC.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) ? The tenacious wolverine, a snow-loving carnivore sometimes called the "mountain devil," could soon join the list of species threatened by climate change ? a dubious distinction putting it in the ranks of the polar bear and several other animals the government says will lose crucial habitat as temperatures rise.
Federal wildlife officials Friday proposed Endangered Species Act protections for the wolverine in the Lower 48 states. That's a step twice denied under the Bush administration, then delayed in 2010 when the Obama administration said other imperiled species had priority.
It likely means an end to trapping the animals for their fur outside Alaska.
But federal officials said they won't use the animal's status as a means to regulate greenhouse gases blamed in climate change. And other human activities ? from snowmobiling and ski resorts to timber harvest and ? would not be curtailed because they do not appear to be significant threats to wolverines, officials said.
There are an estimated 250 to 300 wolverines in the contiguous U.S., clustered in small, isolated groups primarily in the Northern Rockies of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and Washington. Larger populations persist in Alaska and Canada.
Maxing out at 40 pounds and tough enough to stand up to grizzly bears, the animals will be no match for anticipated declines in deep mountain snows female wolverines need to establish dens and raise their young, scientists said.
In some areas, such as central Idaho, suitable habitat could disappear entirely, officials said.
Yet because those losses could take decades to unfold, federal wildlife officials said there's still time to bolster the population, including by reintroducing them to the high mountains of Colorado.
"This is a species there is still time to do something about," said Mike Thabault, ecological services director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's mountain-prairie region.
Wildlife advocates, who sued to force the government to act on the issue, said the animal's plight should be used by the Obama administration to leverage tighter restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions.
As with the polar bear, the government is sidestepping that thorny proposition with the wolverine, and said in Friday's proposal that listing the animal as threatened "will not regulate greenhouse gas emissions."
Thabault said the agency would be on tenuous scientific grounds if it tried to draw a link between specific emission sources and impacts on wolverines.
Advocates expressed disappointment, with Noah Greenwald from the Center for Biological Diversity saying the administration "should not be exempting greenhouse gas emissions from the Endangered Species Act."
A Washington, D.C., attorney, John Martin, who represented the energy industry during litigation over polar bears, said he expects no change in the administration's policy against using endangered wildlife to regulate emissions.
Friday's proposal also allows Colorado's wildlife agency to reintroduce an experimental population of wolverines that eventually could spill into neighboring portions of New Mexico and Wyoming.
It would shut down wolverine trapping in Montana, the only one of the Lower 48 states where the practice is still allowed an annual quota of five animals.
This year's trapping season was blocked by a state court order, but Montana officials hoped to restore trapping next year.
Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks spokesman Ron Aasheim said the state will review the federal proposal and had not settled on a response.
Once found throughout the Rocky Mountains and in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range, wolverines were wiped out across most of the U.S. by the 1930s due to unregulated trapping and poisoning campaigns, said Bob Inman, a wolverine researcher with the Wildlife Conservation Society.
In the decades since, they have largely recovered in the Northern Rockies but not in other parts of their historical range.
While reintroducing the animals further south might seem counterintuitive, Inman said Colorado's abundance of 14,000-foot mountains would make it well suited as a refuge for the animals as warmer temperatures set in at lower elevations.
Only one wolverine currently inhabits the state, a male that wandered down several years ago from northern Wyoming's Teton Range, about 500 miles away. Inman said Colorado has enough high-mountain territory to support up to 100 more of the animals.
"That's like a 30 percent increase in their population size," he said.
Any reintroduction into Colorado would require approval from state wildlife commissioners and the Legislature, Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Randy Hampton said.
Representatives of the state's ski and agriculture industries in the past have raised concerns that bringing wolverines back could hurt their industries. Hampton said no decision has been made and it could take years to work out all the details.
Other areas where wolverines once roamed also could serve as future refuges.
Those include portions of Utah, Oregon's Cascade Range, Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, said Shawn Sartorius, a biologist with the Fish and Wildlife Service based in Montana.
