Mass DNA sweep in privacy-loving France: Why no backlash?

Posted: Published on April 15th, 2014

To identify a rapist, police have asked more than 500 men and boys at a school to give DNA evidence. So far, the French public seem supportive. The French fiercely protect their right to privacy so much so that the country has famously been butting heads with American Internet giants like Google to protect French users from potential intrusions into their private lives. Subscribe Today to the Monitor Click Here for your FREE 30 DAYS of The Christian Science Monitor Weekly Digital Edition But when it comes to criminality, the views are much laxer. In a move that would be sure to provoke anger in the US and raise tough constitutional questions, police are asking more than 500 males at a private Roman Catholic high school to submit to DNA testing to help find a rapist. Because of its scale this isthe first-ever sweep of a school the action has garnered national attention, along with some concerns about civil rights violations, especially of children. But the school and its student body have largely submitted to the investigation without further fuss. Isabelle Wekstein, a lawyer and expert on media privacy, says that although the French cherish their privacy, this case doesnt … Continue reading →

Then they are able to take that, and take that next step and apply it to real world situations. In the real world, Herrick and her students have sent an experiment to the International Space Station and will soon package another experiment for NASA that will be launched on June 6.

Posted: Published on April 15th, 2014

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 15-Apr-2014 Contact: ESC Press Office press@escardio.org 0033-492-948-627 European Society of Cardiology Sophia Antipolis, 15 April 2014. The United Nations and the World Health Organization pledged in 2011 to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases - most notably cardiovascular diseases - by 25% by the year 2025. It's an ambitious target, reached with much controversy by UN members, and progress so far will be charted at this year's major congress on cardiovascular prevention, EuroPRevent 2014. EuroPRevent 2014 will take place at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 8-10 May 2014. The event promises to be the leading event of the year in preventive cardiology and we encourage you to mark the event in your news diaries. The scientific programme contains many new reports on a subject which is traditionally of great public interest. The theme of this year's congress is "global cardiovascular health", and chairman of the Congress Programme Committee, Professor Johan de Sutter from AZ Maria Middelares Hospital in Ghent, Belgium, insists that the known modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular and other non-communicable disease are no longer confined to the affluent countries of the West.

Posted: Published on April 15th, 2014

The selloff in Internet and biotechnology shares is threatening to cut short the fastest start to Israeli stock offerings in overseas markets since 2000. Wix.com Ltd. (WIX), the provider of online tools to create websites, scrapped a share sale on March 31 after the stock tumbled 26 percent that month, paring the rally since its Nov. 5 initial public offering to 39 percent. On April 4, Matomy Media Group Ltd., an online marketing company based in Tel Aviv, scuttled plans for an initial public offering in London. Technology shares are slumping across the globe, led by a 7.4 percent plunge in the Nasdaq Composite Index (CCMP) from a 14-year high reached in March, amid concern valuations had reached unwarranted levels. The rout is being felt acutely in Israel, which has 64 companies traded on the Nasdaq, the most of any country outside the U.S. after China. The market has become more sensitive to risk for foreign deals, Josef Schuster, founder of Chicago-based IPOX Schuster LLC, said in an April 10 telephone interview. Corporate actions are not going to be as easy as they used to be. With stock trading slowing in Tel Aviv, Israeli companies have been turning increasingly to … Continue reading →
