The impact of "empirical facts" on legal scholarship and legal research training
Hutchinson, Terry C. & Burns, Kylie (2009) The impact of "empirical facts" on legal scholarship and legal research training. The Law Teacher, 43(2), pp. 153-178.
|Accepted Version (PDF 175kB)
Lawyers have traditionally viewed law as a closed system, and doctrinal research has been the research methodology used most widely in the profession. This reflects traditional concepts of legal reasoning. There is a wealth of reliable and valid social science data available to lawyers and judges. Judges in fact often refer to general facts about the world, society, institutions and human behaviour ('empirical facts'). Legal education needs to prepare our students for this broader legal context. This paper examines how 'empirical facts' are used in Australian and other common law courts. Specifically, the paper argues that there is a need for enhanced training in non-doctrinal research methodologies across the law school curriculum. This should encompass a broad introduction to social science methods, with more attention being paid to a cross-section of methodologies such as content analysis, comparative law and surveys that are best applied to law.

After Lady Gaga and Elton John opened the Grammy show with a duet, Stephen Colbert took the stage to present the song of the year award and mentioned the act. "I did not even know they're dating," he cracked.
"Folks, we are here tonight to celebrate what I believe is our most precious right. The right of celebrities to congratulate each other. One more time, come on. That feels good...."
He randomly cautioned daughter, Madeline, to "stay away from Katy Perry."
And just before he presented song of the year, he said: "I'm sorry, where's the list? Oh, it's on my iPad." And he pulled out one of the hot new gadgets. "Jay-Z, did you not get one of these in your gift bag? Am I cooler than you?"
UPDATE: Said Colbert, after winning the best comedy album Grammy: "This is a Christmas album, so obviously I should thank Jesus Christ for having such a great birthday."
To his daughter in the crowd, he said, "Am I cool now?" She nodded yes.
UPDATE: Backstage Colbert explained that last week's introduction of the iPad -- which he called the "tampod," reports USA TODAY's Bill Keveney, inspired him to request one to use when he presented an award. He said he was fortunate to get one. "I held it for about five minutes before I went onstage. (He was told) There are three not under lock and key in the world." He said he had a wide pocket sewn into his tuxedo jacket to accommodate the device. "I'm going to send my tux to Mr. (Steve) Jobs to thank him."

I can laugh at myself and I hope you can too! I am intuitive, nurturing, and admire patience (working on developing this quality in myself).
I have a dark (Harold and Maude) sense of humor. The kind of humor that makes me laugh when I am supposed to be serious.
I love horses and dogs; remodeling/decorating; plays; intriguing conversations at Starbucks with good friends; swimming, boating, floating; walking in the woods; dancing; and reading fiction and the New Yorker.
I especially like Thai, Korean, Mexican, and Ethiopian food--but anything home-cooked that is fresh and healthy and has subtle flavors is wonderful.
And let's not forget guacamole!!
I am attracted to people who are politically liberal, have a great sense of humor, know how to enjoy life, and who love to laugh.

Kate's First Trimester Style Poll & Max Mara Pre-Fall
With things remaining relatively quiet we wanted to take a look back at Kate's maternity wardrobe. One note: I deliberately picked a very loose time frame for the retrospective, mid-October seemed a reasonable place to start.
We begin with Kate's visit to Newcastle on October 10th: she brought back the aubergine coat made by an independent dressmaker that we first saw seen on Christmas Day 2011, underneath she was wearing the Sophie Rae dress by Whistles. For the official opening of St. George's Park the Duchess repeated her Angel Fit & Flare coat by Reiss. We saw Kate in a version of Temperley's Esmeralda dress at the Buckingham Palace reception honoring Team GB athletes, and an unidentified coat over the Rozalia dress by Reiss for a night out in Mayfair.
Below, a closer look at Kate in the Angel coat at St. George's Park, and the aubergine coat in Newcastle.
November brought more engagements, beginning with a Saint Andrews fundraiser early in the month. Kate brought back the popular Amoret gown by Temperley, first worn in January of last year to the War Horse premiere. It remains available at Temperley for $4055, and also at the Outnet where it is priced at $1999. My guess is that Temperley may continue to offer the frock for some time, while it's probable the Outnet is liquidating a retailer's remaining stock.
Remembrance Sunday brought the return of the same Diane von Furstenberg worn for the event in 2011. For a rugby match featuring the Wales Red Dragons Kate repeated her LK Bennett Ami coat.
Also in November, Kate's engagement at the Natural History Museum, when she repeated Mulberry's Full Pleated Shirtdress that was first worn to a reception at Buckingham Palace in the spring of 2012. For the couple's historic visit to Cambridge Kate was in MaxMara Studio's Belli coat and a dress also made by the brand.
Another look as Kate leaves Peterborough City Hospital.
November 30 of last year Kate returned to her old prep school, Saint Andrews Pangbourne. It was also Saint Andrews Day, honoring Scotland's patron saint. That fact was not lost on Kate as she wore a coat from a brand founded by a Scottish designer, Alexander McQueen. The piece was from the McQ by Alexander McQueen diffusion line, the label's Black Watch Coat ($7220 Special Order at Net-a-Porter).
And then we saw this announcement on December 3rd: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby."
Because of Kate's challenges with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a potentially life-threatening illness, she had to be hospitalized and word of the pregnancy released earlier than expected. The couple had little chance to savor their secret and plan how they would share the news with friends and family.
After three days in the hospital Kate was released. She wore a Diane von Furstenberg piece from the winter 2010 collection, the Simyonette coat. We were surprised to see the Duchess again in just ten days time, taking part in the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year Awards, wearing a bottle green gown by Alexander McQueen. On Christmas Day Kate and William attended a quiet church service with her family, repeating her Hobbs 'Celeste' coat for that event.
As much as we saw Kate smiling during December, it was evident she was also tired, appearing frail and wan in some photographs.
It cannot have been an easy time for the couple or their families, yet she managed to look lovely just the same. We will be back in another day or two with our look back at Kate's style during her second trimester.
Our little poll follows at the end of the post.
We leave you with a very quick look at pieces from Max Mara's pre-fall line. Below, outerwear.
And just a few of the brand's pre-fall dress styles.
Some styles are already in stores.
Here is our poll.
17 Responses to "Kate's First Trimester Style Poll & Max Mara Pre-Fall"
Strangely enough my favorite look was the one she wore when released from the hospital. Although she looked exhausted, I liked the classic coat, the periwinkle scarf, and even her hairstyle. It was softly pulled back from her face with just a bit of wave to it, rather than the elaborate curled ends she favors. I also loved the flat boots. It just looked like an overall classy, comfortable look that wasn't trying too hard.
I also give her credit for wearing pantyhose and smiling while leaving the hospital! She must have been feeling awful but she put her best foot forward regardless!
I like all of them but the Black Watch Coat's my favorite.
I voted for the DVF plaid coat (hospital) but I qually love the DVF black coat (Rememberance). Kate does wear some beautiful coats.
I love MaxMara but those slouchy/sloppy pants have got to go. They really look awful on anyone who isn't tall and lean.
I am really not liking the Amoret gown. I think it's much too funereal for my tastes.
I also am not a fan of the green dress she wore with the pleats from Mulberry. I can't believe I missed that it has peace signs on it the first time she wore it.
Tough choice to make, as is usual with Kate. She always looks good.
Getting really excited about Baby Cambridge! I hope everything goes smoothly.
I am going to skip the vote…as I like pretty much every piece except one…so if there was a poll for "least favorite" I would vote then. LOL
Great poll, thank you!
Is the McQ Black Watch tartan coat still available from Net-A-Porter?
It appears I can't give you a direct link to the terms and conditions but click on the link above, then FAQ and scroll down to to "Read our McQ Alexander McQueen Terms & Conditions" and then look at #2.
Is that Rozalia dress by Reiss or Whistles? You have it identified two ways.
I chose that outfit as my favorite of the first trimester looks, though frankly, we never did get a very good look at it. I am mostly going on what I can see of the coat, which appealed to me, though of course we don't know anything about the designer or label.
I also liked the Black Watch tartan dress, though it's not quite my personal style, and of course the Max Mara Belli coat, though the dress isn't my cup of tea, and as I've commented before, I wish the coat were a touch longer.
I love the new Max Mara coats shown here, but the dresses aren't anything special as best I can tell. The black-and-white spotted print might appeal to the Duchess. The little coat would have worked nicely as pregnancy wear. Perhaps she'll go for the dress.
I would hate to have been as photographed during my pregnancies as she has been! She has looked lovely the entire time. I hope that she is able to find moments of peace and beauty in her new little one!
I am a Kate fan and totally understand where your comment comes from…but I wouldn't worry too much on her bahalf because she knew what kind of deal she has signed up for…Hope this didn't come cross as a mean way…
I know this isn't about Kate but….Zara is pregnant
I'm so happy for her. I didn't know much about Zara before her wedding, but I've really come to like her a lot.

OK, as I mentioned over on my new space, I'm headed to Utah on a ski trip beginning Saturday morning. You'll be left with my colleagues until I return, so play nice.
I may have another post or two before the end of the weekend, but if you have any news to share please contact the esteemed Rick Carpiniello at firstname.lastname@example.com or my editor, Sean Mayer, at email@example.com.
Now on to the slightly-altered rankings, plus a bonus (rankings by class!):
1. IRVINGTON (13-1), Last week: 2 — Can you lose a game in a week where you didn't play? Only if I screw up the record the week before! Yes, Irivington is 13-1 (not 14-1) and for all intents and purposes should finish the season 17-1 — not bad against what was a difficult non-league schedule.
2. MOUNT VERNON (12-3), Last week: 2 — Impressive performance for Mount Vernon last Sunday in a 20-point win over Molloy. Taylor Palmer told me Wednesday the Knights are dedicated now and have regained their hunger. Only time will tell.
3. OSSINING (10-3), Last week: 3 — A quiet week for Ossining heats up tonight with Edgemont. But expect this team to enter the season finale with Peekskill on Feb. 9 at 14-3.
4. LAKELAND (10-1), Last week: 4 — The Hornets beat their rival, Panas, last week, but has a good test at home on Friday with Carmel. If Lakeland has a big performance, does it say hello top 3???
5. PEARL RIVER (13-2), Last week: 5 — I've said this a bunch the last couple days, but the Pirates are in line to win the league and compete for the Rockland County Championship. All that stands in their way is Albertus Magnus at home on Tuesday.
6. CARMEL (10-3), Last week: 6 — The Rams were quiet in the last week, with just the one win over rival Mahopac. But…here comes a rematch with Lakeland and Tori Jarosz next Friday. That should be a great, great matchup, both between the stars, but also between the sharp-shooting role players around them. An interesting contrast.
7. NANUET (12-3), Last week: 7 — With Lauren Kahn due back but not yet in the lineup, I'll take a wait-and-see approach. Also, K.C. Jentzen is back and healthy despite missing much of the second half vs. Nyack with an injury. Their absence will only help the rest of the Golden Knights, who were forced to face adversity.
8. NEW ROCHELLE (10-4), Last week: NR — As I said Monday, I heard many, many positive reviews of the Huguenots. I talked to Bruce Daniele tonight and he told me his team played better vs. Long Island Lutheran than in its upset of Mount Vernon. I know the White Plains fans don't get it, but New Ro has the better overall resume (wins over MV, Long Island Lutheran, Ursuline, etc.), despite two close losses to the Tigers.
9. ALBERTUS MAGNUS (10-2), Last week: 8 — The Falcons were bumped because of a too-close-for-their-comfort victory over Spring Valley, coupled with New Ro's triumph. It's only fair to the Huguenots, who are inconsistent but a more dangerous at their peak.
10. BREWSTER (11-3), Last week: 9 — This not a slight to Brewster but praise to New Ro, for reasons I have already stated above. The Bears remain a contended for the County Center in Class A, provided the team remains at full health.
Dropped out: Briarcliff.
On the bubble: Briarcliff (12-2), Kennedy (12-2), Peekskill (12-2), Nyack (9-6).
Class rankings:
Class AA
1. Mount Vernon
2. Ossining
3. Carmel

2. Pearl River
3. Albertus Magnus

Many Thanks Tim for the confidence in running the list in a very liberal
fashion. Amazingly, it seems to finally get back to the purpose of the list
after sometimes wide diversions from the purpose of the list. You have done
well and deserve a great deal of thanks for you part in developing this list
into one of the helpful mailing lists on the Internet. I have learned a lot
about TMG, that without a list service of this quality, I probably would never
know about it. And the fact that you have turned it over to Lee Hoffman,
further indicates your capacity to choose a very knowledgeable candidate and I
am confident that Lee will do a very credible job, and likely make some changes,
but they will be for the intended betterment of the list service. Thanks again
Tim, and Thanks for you Lee for accepting this responsibility. I hope that we
that participate in this e-mail list will continue to honor your directions and
controls, and be there to assist people in solving their problems, even when the
answer is readily available through one of the Help systems available to them in

that I could have found the answer to by either looking in the Reference Manual,
or the Help Icon in the software.

While one Michigan team was getting trampled on Saturday, another was adding commentary on social media.
Michigan State players took to Twitter during their in-state rival's opener, ripping quarterback Denard Robinson as he struggled against Alabama in Michigan's 41-14 loss. The senior Heisman candidate finished with 200 yards in the air, but threw two interceptions and finished 11-for-26 with 27 yards rushing.
Here's a scroll of some of the tweets, some of which were later taken down:
"Is this guy really a QB I'll say my mans (walk-on Tommy Vento) is a better QB lol," linebacker Denicos Allen tweeted.
"DENARD IS SOOOO BAD!" safety Kyle Artinian tweeted. "And it makes me feel so good."
"I can play quarterback for the school in blue," linebacker Jamal Lyles tweeted. "(Le'Veon Bell) for heisman > the other guy in the great state of michigan."
On Robinson's 71-yard completion to Jeremy Gallon:
"Even a blind squirrel can get a nut ever once in a while...," MSU running back Nick Hill tweeted right after the play.
Should MSU coach Mark Dantonio be disgruntled by this? Michigan State has contained Robinson well in the past and owns a four-game winning streak in the rivalry.
Either way, Oct. 20 just got a lot more important.
That's when Michigan State travels to Michigan for a Big Ten Conference matchup.

XD/Winchester Target Range Ammo
I bought my XD Service Model .45 ACP back in 05. Have roughly 2000 rounds through it with ZERO malfunctions until last Saturday.
I was shooting Winchester Target/Range 230gr FMJ and had 4 FTF's.
Pull the trigger and "CLICK"
After keeping it down range and counting to 60 just in case, I'd drop the mag and rack the slide to eject the unfired cartridge. All 4 FTF cartridges had a firing pin dent in the primer but failed to detonate. The "dents" were about 1/4 the depth of the dent's in my spend brass collection but I was not able to compare it to spent cases from the XD on the day in question as we were shooting in 8" of snow.
I feel this must be due to 1 of 2 possibilities. Either:
1. I've gotten ahold of an ammo run with hard primers?
2. My firing pin and or spring needs replaced.
Anyone else encountered this with .45 ACP XD's or with .45 ACP Winchester Target/Range 230gr FMJ?
If you have fired this gun a lot, you may need to have the striker pulled and the striker channel cleaned. I have seen a BUNCH of gunk from carbon/oil mixture to brass shavings in firing pin/striker channels. They can build up to the point they cause some failures to fire. It may not be every time, but enough to make you go "WTF?".
I doubt the striker/spring is bad, that rarely happens. You should always keep the firing pin/striker to prevent this from happening as easily.
Can the firing pin channel be dissasembled for cleaning by the owner or is this something better left to a gun smith?
I've never broken anything down beyond field stripping for cleaning.
WWB ammo has been turning out alot of junk lately. QC has gone to hell. Probably because they are trying to make so fast,, that they don't care what slips through the cracks. I would chalk it up to the ammo and not your XD.
I've been assured by a polymer-hating Range Ruler that it was the Winchester ammo, and to not bother having the Croatian Sensation looked at.
Never had an issue with Remington, and have burnt exponentially more rounds of it than the WWB.
As Robo stated it wouldn't hurt to have the striker channel cleaned. But I've gone to the point of intentionally dirtying (about 1,500 or so, w/o cleaning) my XD in an attempt to create a malfunction of some sort and haven't been able to.
I've also shot thousands of Winchester target rounds varying from .38 special to .45 in the recent months and have not experienced any malfunctions. This is not to say that a bad batch hasn't made it's way out to consumers due to excessive production, but I think it may be too early to point fingers.
Give her a good cleaning, shoot it up with a bunch of ammo, including Winchester target and see what results. Please post it, cause I'm very curious now.
Thank for the info fellas!
I figured out how to remove the rear plate, spring, plug, ect...and shot the hell out of it with Action Blaster.
I let the residue drip into a white towel and did find a fair amount of copper shavings. She's re-assembled and back in the safe. I'll try to get her out next weekend for a few Assorted boxes to see if I can recreate the problem and I'll post the results for consumption.
I'm starting to think this was caused by the metal shavings and not the ammo but who knows? Being my first "striker" gun, I'd never given a thought to cleaning the channel before tonight. I don't think this is a reflection on the XD as much as an embarrasing reflection of my piss poor maintenace.
Drill Sergeant Christensen is rolling over in his grave...:eek:
Robo nailed it.
I finally got my XD .45 ACP back to the range after breaking down the firing pin channel and blowing the hell out of it w/Action Blaster which removed a bunch of copper shavings.
I put 300 rounds through it, a mix of the same Winchester that had failed to detonate before plus some HSM factory reloads and a box of PMC.
Zero malfunctions.:)
Thanks for the advice. My XD is back it true form and I learned something new about striker guns.
I stand my slide on end and flush the channel out with WD-40 while depressing the striker block and cycling the firing pin back and forth. I haven't tried breaking the bolt down yet, but prolly should, huh?
Eh. . . I usually wait until a problem occurs, unless it is your primary SD weapon of course. ;)

early 15c., "to fix the amount (of a tax, fine, etc.)," from Anglo-French assesser, from Medieval Latin assessare "fix a tax upon," originally frequentative of Latin assessus "a sitting by," past participle of assidere "to sit beside" (and thus to assist in the office of a judge), from ad- "to" (see ad-) + sedere "to sit" (see sedentary). One of the judge's assistant's jobs was to fix the amount of a fine or tax. Meaning "to estimate the value of property for the purpose of taxing it" is from 1809; transferred sense of "to judge the value of a person, idea, etc." is from 1934. Related: Assessed; assessing.

In June 2006, an outbreak alert regarding cases of acute gastroenteritis in a region in North Eastern Greece (population 100,882 inhabitants), triggered investigations to guide control measures. The outbreak started the first days of June, and peaked in July. A descriptive epidemiological study, a virological characterization of the viral agent identified from cases as well as a phylogenetic analysis was performed. From June 5 to September 3, 2006 (weeks 23–44), 1,640 cases of gastroenteritis (45.2% male and 54.8% female, aged 3 months to 89 years) were reported. The overall attack rate for the period was 16.3 cases/1,000 inhabitants. About 57% of cases observed were under the age of 15 years. nalysis of faecal samples identified
Gastrointestinal tract infections are common in both developing and developed countries [
NoVs form a genus within the family of
Several large foodborne and waterborne outbreaks due to NoVs have been described [
In Greece, which has no surveillance system for non-bacterial gastroenteritis, the impact of NoVs infection is unknown, and very few epidemiological studies about NoVs have been reported so far. In fact, only two epidemiological studies have been reported previously in Greece [
This report describes a large outbreak of non-bacterial gastroenteritis caused by NoVs in North Eastern Greece. It is the first study, to our knowledge in Greece, trying to combine environmental, epidemiological and molecular investigations in order to specify the cause and the conditions of the outbreak and to examine its characteristics. Also it is the first study which includes a molecular investigation of the NoVs identified during the studied outbreak.
Xanthi is the capital of the prefecture of the same name located in North Eastern Greece. The population of Xanthi prefecture was 100;882 inhabitants, according to the National Census of 2001 [
All gastroenteritis cases referred to the General Hospital of Xanthi during the period May 1, 2006 to November 5, 2006 (weeks 18–44) were ascertained using medical records from the Hospital. In addition, after cooperation with Health Office of the prefecture, a structured questionnaire was developed and used to gather clinical and sociodemographic information from in- and out-patients referred to the General Hospital of Xanthi the period between June 5 and September 3, 2006 (weeks 23–35). The questionnaire included information on gender, age, residence, symptoms, date of onset of symptoms, laboratory tests performed. Questionnaires were completed by health officers of the prefecture of Xanthi. An outbreak case was defined as any resident of Xanthi prefecture, who visited the hospital and having two or more episodes of vomiting and/or diarrhea, with/without abdominal pains and with/without laboratory confirmation during the period of June 5 and September 3.
In order to establish retrospective data for the epidemiological investigation, the gastroenteritis cases admitted to the paediatric and the Internal Medicine Unit from May till August of 2005 were also recorded.
One hundred and seventy four (174) stool specimens were collected from patients referred for acute gastroenteritis to the General Hospital of Xanthi from July 17 till September 3 (week 29–35). Specimens were analyzed for bacteria (
To determine the relatedness between different sequences of Greek NoVs strains (GR) detected in this study with GII sequences selected from GenBank database, MEGA 4.0.2 software [
A concurrent investigation was carried out by the Office of Health of Xanthi and Department of Public Health of the University. An inspection and assessment of the hygienic situation of the areas where the main sources of water supply are installed was also carried out on 3rd of July. Also, a water sample of one hundred liters (100 L) was collected from each one of the two main sources of surface water (river water used for the water supply of Xanthi prefecture) at July 10, 2006. As the cases were not decreasing, a second sampling from the same sites was performed on August 5, 2006. Briefly, the water samples were collected using an apparatus containing 1-MDS filter (Zetapore Virosorb, Cuno, USA) according to the previously described procedure [
Data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Attack rate was calculated based on population data provided by the National Census of 2001 [
A total of 1,640 (45.2% male and 54.8% female, aged 3 months to 89 years) patients suffering from gastroenteritis were referred to the General Hospital of Xanthi from June 5 till September 3 (weeks 23–35), and were asked to answer the questionnaire. Of these cases, 72.1% reported diarrhoea, 82.4% reported vomiting, and only 12.5% reported fever. The average duration of illness was two days. 10.1% of the above patients were hospitalized at the Paediatric and the Internal Medicine units. In order to establish retrospective data for the epidemiological investigation, the gastroenteritis cases admitted to both units from May till August during 2005 and 2006 are listed (
The number of gastroenteritis cases was similar to that of May 2006 and increased in June 2006 (p < 0.005, t-test). The area affected as well as the cases (and incidence rates) in the prefecture of Xanthi for the period of June 5 till September 3 is shown in
The overall attack rate for gastroenteritis for the period June 5 till September 3 (weeks 23–35) was 16.3 cases/1,000 inhabitants. The age-specific attack rates are shown in
Faecal specimens were obtained from 174 in- and out-patients referred to the General Hospital of Xanthi (10.6% of total cases). Faecal samples were collected over the period of 17th of July and 3rd of September (weeks 29–35). Six fecal specimens (3.4%) were found positive for
All water samples were tested negative for Noroviruses. Water samples were also examined microbiologically (
The epidemic curve presented a rapid increase of gastroenteritis cases during June, as well as high occurrence of cases is observed during July. The number of cases declined slowly during the next three months and the epidemic finally stopped during the first days of November. This epidemic curve suggests an occurrence of an outbreak and its beginning related to a possible common source of contamination. The initial source could have been contaminated drinking water, caused by the poor hygienic conditions of the closeby local communities and the intense rainfall that preceded the emergence of the outbreak. The environmental and hygienic conditions in the areas where water supply sources are installed, suggest an increased risk of drinking water contamination, although no analytical epidemiological study was performed to confirm the waterborne source of the outbreak. Although the water samples tested did not confirm this suggestion and no NoVs were detected, we have to clarify that these samples were taken after a significant time delay. The delay of the water sampling was due to delayed announcement of the outbreak by the water company as well as the lack of a surveillance system for non-bacterial gastroenteritis. Therefore, the negative results of the environmental investigation do not exclude the possibility of a waterborne emergence of the outbreak. The waterborne hypothesis is supported by the fact that the outbreak studied is the second gastroenteritis epidemic reported in almost the same area [
As observed in other outbreaks, this outbreak affected all age groups [
Sequence BLAST search and the Norovirus genotyping tool of Greek NoVs strains' sequences along with reference GII strains confirmed that the outbreak isolates belonged to GII but the identification of GII genotypes was not possible due to the short amplified sequence of the RNA polymerase gene. While the RNA polymerase region is mostly used for diagnosis of NoVs, a complete identification requires the use of the capsid region [
Outbreaks in hospitals and institutions are more easily identified, cause more disruption compared to outbreaks in the community and are more likely to be reported [
The outbreak is one of the very few extended outbreaks due to Noroviruses in Greece. Due to the lack of a surveillance system for acute gastroenteritis in Greece, the accomplishment of the study proved very difficult. The emergence of the outbreak was possibly due to contaminated drinking water, although this was not proved by water analyses data. Its long duration is likely due to a large number of cases related to person-to-person contamination. The fact that the described outbreak was the second gastroenteritis outbreak in the same area, within the time interval of two years, suggests prolonged negligence in drinking water sanitary conditions (e.g., lack of stable chlorination). Also, the present epidemiological study confirmed the necessity of the development of a surveillance system for acute non-bacterial gastroenteritis outbreaks in Greece.
The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Bay Area Naval Base Approved for Neighborhood Conversion
The plan also sets aside much of the former base for open space and park areas. The development could add nearly 30,000 people to the city of 120,000.
"Tuesday's vote at a crowded meeting lays the final development blueprint to add 12,272 housing units, 28,800 residents, 26,530 jobs and a park bigger than Tilden Regional Park to the 5,028-acre site.
The plan would put higher-density, transit-oriented development near the North Concord BART station, along with three "villages" along the southwest border of the base in the area known as "bunker city."
It leaves about 65 percent of the site as open space or park land, including almost the entire area east of Mount Diablo Creek.

Mexico City (AFP) March 11, 2011
The tsunami from Japan's powerful earthquake swept across the Pacific and caused a storm surge in the Galapagos islands but largely spared Latin America from major damage.
A storm surge hit the island of San Cristobal in Ecuador's Galapagos Island chain some 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) west of the mainland, President Rafael Correa said.
Correa said the surge may have affected some dwellings but "has not endangered human life."
Elsewhere in the region, precautionary evacuations were underway but little impact was felt from the tsunami stemming from the devastating 8.9 magnitude quake that hit Friday in Japan.
Chile, Ecuador and Peru ordered evacuations of coastal areas and Ecuador also halted oil shipments amid fears of rough seas.
Peruvian officials said the first wave of around 40 centimeters (15 inches) hit around 0050 GMT Saturday, after some coastal areas were evacuated.
President Alan Garcia said earlier that he saw "no enormous danger" from the tsunami.
In Mexico, no casualties or damages were reported as waves up to 70 centimeters (2.2 feet) high arrived on coastal areas of Baja California.
In Central America, the force of the tidal wave was "not as strong as expected," said Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.
Guatemala and Panama lifted their tsunami alerts and in El Salvador, the government said "the danger is past."
Ecuador ordered the evacuation of coastal areas on the mainland as well as in the Galapagos islands some 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) offshore.
But Correa said the moves were purely precautionary and added that "the greatest likelihood is that a sea surge will be the only effect of this terrible earthquake in Japan."
Chile ordered an evacuation of coastal zones at risk from the tsunami, Interior Minister Rodrigo Hinzpeter said.
Hinzpeter said this was a "preventive" move ahead of waves expected to reach two to three meters (6.5 to 10 feet) along Chile's 4,000-kilometer (2,500-mile) coast due to a risk from the tsunami.
With Chileans still jittery after the 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the country in February 2010, President Sebastian Pinera had earlier issued a "preventive alert," but told citizens to remain calm and continue normal life.
Most of the 524 people who died in the 2010 Chile quake were killed by the massive tsunami waves that swept away some coastal hamlets.
Chilean officials said residents of Easter Island, a tourist attraction some 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) from the mainland, were leaving coastal areas for higher elevations and that officials were studying a possible evacuation.
"On Easter Island and in the rest of Chile, the waves could be up to three meters (10 feet) high," Hinzpeter said.
Colombian officials said they were monitoring the situation but had issued no evacuation orders after forecasts of waves from 50 to 70 centimeters (1.5 to 2.2 feet).
Elsewhere in the region, condolences to Japan were offered after the deadly quake from countries not exposed to the Pacific tsunami, including Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia.

So what does everyone think of the updated mousseline?
I've tried it once but I don't think my tastebuds are refined enough to be able to detect the difference, although it has a smaller amount of butter. Can't remember if the sugar quantity varies. Logic tells me this SHOULD result in a lighter texture - something that should appeal to those who are afraid of eating buttercream to begin with (not that it would make much difference because they are constantly scraping off the buttercream before even tasting it). But I had made the strawberry version using Cordon Rose conserve so maybe the change in texture isn't as evident in a fruit version.
Re. the updated technique of chilling the meringue and then beating it all into the butter: well, I would either be chilling the butter after first beating it, in the original version; or the other way around in the new version. So it's all the same to me, although for some reason I feel less trepidation adding cold butter to the room temp meringue, than I do adding cool meringue to butter that's just been beaten and might in fact be too soft. I dunno. In the original version the beaten butter has time to cool in the fridge while I make the italian meringue, so I save some time there. While in the new version I have to wait for the meringue to chill before I start beating the butter.
Anyone want to weigh in on this? Hector? You'd be one of the most experienced with making both types!

For Woolworths, the sale continues the sell-down of properties, developed by the group to ensure its continued retail expansion, but no longer required on the balance sheet.
For the Singapore-based investors, both clients of Rockworth Capital Partners, the purchase shows the breadth of interest in Australian assets.
Four of the centres are up and running: at Lake Munmorah on the NSW Central Coast; at Jordan Springs in western Sydney; at Lucas, a suburb of Ballarat in regional Victoria; and at Tarneit Gardens in Melbourne's west.
Another two – at Rothwell in suburban Brisbane and Schofields in Sydney's west – are under construction and due for completion later this year.
Each contains a Woolworths supermarket and between two and 22 specialty shops. Across the deal, the yield is 7.62 per cent. Woolworths director of property,
Sale consistent with long-term strategy
"The sale is consistent with our long-term strategy: we are not a long-term holder and will sell at the right time," he said.
The last major disposal of Woolworths centres was through the float of $1 billion Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group in late 2012.
The buyer of five of the centres is a new fund set up by the Singapore-listed, property operation,
Rockworth, which already looks after Australian property such as 50 Margaret Street in Sydney and the Altone Park shopping centre in Perth, is the investment and asset manager for the fund.
"This is a defensive portfolio of investment-grade property with stability of cash flow," said Rockworth executive director, Su Kiat Lim.
The agent who handled the deal, Cushman & Wakefield associate director, Nick Potter, said Woolworths' strong covenant was a major attraction.
"The sale shows the continued appeal of the defensive nature of non-discretionary retail property," he said.

November 2011 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Chicago, Illinois November 4-9, 2011.
Interferon-Alpha Activity Levels Increase Immediately Preceding Clinical Classification of Systemic Lupus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically variable disease with a complex etiology. Many lupus patients have increased interferon-inducible gene expression and elevated levels of interferon-a (IFNa) which correlate with increased disease activity. IFNa is released by plasmacytoid dendritic cells after stimulation through TLR binding by autoantigen/autoantibody complexes. However, the exact role of interferon in disease pathogenesis is still not understood. This study seeks to evaluate the temporal relationship between IFNa production and the onset of SLE characteristics.
Patient sera from 20 SLE cases with samples spanning from no ACR criteria to SLE classification were obtained from the Department of Defense Serum Repository (DODSR). Serial samples were tested for antibody isotype specificity against common lupus autoantigens (Ro, La, nRNP, Sm, Ribosomal P, dsDNA, and ANA) by ELISA and immunofluorescence. IFNa levels were examined utilizing a cell reporter assay measuring upregulation of interferon inducible genes (MX1, PKR, and IFIT1) by serum. Two sets of matched controls were also tested and results were reported as elevation of IFN levels above controls.
Autoantibodies are common before diagnosis in SLE patient samples. As a patient moved toward SLE diagnosis the number of autoantibodies increased to include specificity toward multiple lupus autoantigens. Isotype class switching from IgM to IgG1 was observed in the anti-Ro specificity. In examining dominant antibody isotypes for each lupus antigen we observed the IgG1 isotype as dominant in nRNP, while Ro, Sm, and Ribo P had an IgG2 isotype dominance before and at lupus classification. Interestingly, anti-La, anti-Sm, and anti-nRNP antibodies specificities showed detectable amounts of IgA and IgE antibody isotypes. Examination of IFNa levels indicated a statistically significant trend of increasing IFN levels leading up to SLE diagnosis (p=0.0279). There was a significant difference in IFN levels between samples prior to first criteria and at SLE diagnosis (p<0.05). Four individuals are shown to have autoantibody present in sera samples before the detection of serologic interferon activity.
Our results show IgG2 is the dominant autoantibody specificity, class switching between IgM and IgG1 for anti-Ro antibodies occurs leading up to diagnosis, and IFNa levels increase as the number of autoantigen specific antibodies increase leading up to SLE classification. Thus, the increase in IFN levels is more closely linked to disease onset as opposed to autoantibody production.

Kiski Area no match for NA
Kiski Area struggled to its 10th straight loss Friday night by falling, 63-17, to defending PIAA Class AAAA champion North Allegheny in a nonconference game at Davis Field in Vandergrift.
Senior running back Owen Copney rushed for 192 yards and both touchdowns on 17 carries for the Cavaliers (0-6, 0-3).
"My line made some good blocks for me tonight," Copney said. "I think we caught them off-guard, too. We had some players starting tonight who don't normally start. We just kept fighting."
The Cavaliers' defense has been plagued by big plays all year, and the trend continued: They gave up scoring plays of 68, 77 and 24 yards.
"They came in and did their thing — they are North Allegheny," Kiski Area coach Troy Wilson said. "We could not afford to make mistakes."
Kiski Area was overwhelmed by the Tigers (6-0, 3-0) early. Running back Isiah Thomas scored on the opening drive, reaching the end zone on a 7-yard run just 1:23 in.
After the Cavaliers turned the ball over on the kick return, the Tigers found the end zone again. Quarterback Mack Leftwich found receiver James Kleinhampl for a 24-yard connection to make it 14-0.
North Allegheny made it 28-0 before Copney scored on a 58-yard run that showcased his quickness. With 2:32 left in the first half and North Allegheny leading, 42-7, sophomore Adam Mitcheson booted a 45-yard field goal to make it 42-10. Copney scored on a 15-yard to make it 49-17.
