Do You Actually Care About a Politician's Social-Media Presence? [Chatroom]

Seriously. I mean, we rag on these politicians all the time for their social media gaffes, but does anyone really care? Does it matter to you, when it comes to actually punch your ballot, whether Romney's app misspelled America or Obama was a little loose with his volunteers' kinda private information? More »

Myanmar democracy icon meets with Hillary Clinton

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi warned on Tuesday that reforms in her country had cleared only the "first hurdle" and said she supported an easing of U.S. sanctions as part of a broad partnership with Washington.

The Nobel laureate said the economic sanctions were a useful tool for putting pressure on Myanmar's military government in the past, but now the people need to consolidate democracy without outside help.

"I do support the easing of sanctions, because I think that our people can start taking responsibility for their own destiny," she said at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington on the opening day of a two-week tour of the United States.

"I do not think we should depend on U.S. sanctions to keep up the momentum of our movement to democracy. We have to work at it ourselves and there are very many other ways in which the United States can help us," said Suu Kyi.

Suu Kyi did not specify which of the complex web of sanctions that Washington began phasing out this year she wanted removed. State Department officials did not indicate that she had made any formal requests on sanctions during talks on Tuesday with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

"We are going to do this in a measured way as we see progress, and the secretary did lay out the list (of what more needs to be done)," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters after the meeting.

"We will continue to watch that and make our decisions as we see more progress," she added.

GUARD AGAINST BACKSLIDING

Suu Kyi, who won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for championing democracy in opposition to a military junta that held her under house arrest for years, began her tour with talks with Clinton and a standing-room-only speech at the Washington think tank.

"We have crossed the first hurdle but there are many more hurdles to cross," she said in the speech, her first public appearance in the United States.

Clinton told the same event Myanmar still "had a lot of work to do."

"Political prisoners remain in detention. Ongoing ethnic and sectarian violence continues to undermine progress toward national reconciliation, stability and lasting peace," she said.

Suu Kyi's followers and the quasi-civilian government needed to work together to heal past wounds and "guard against backsliding because there are forces that would take the country in the wrong direction if given the chance," said Clinton.

Suu Kyi, whose last stay in the United States was in the 1970s as a United Nations employee, will visit the large emigre community from her country in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and make a series of public speeches from New York to California.

Her U.S. tour will coincide with a visit by Thein Sein, Myanmar's reformist president, who heads to New York on September 24 to address the U.N. General Assembly.

GEOPOLITICS AND MYANMAR

Thein Sein, a former junta general, was scheduled to meet U.S. officials on the sidelines of U.N. meetings and his aides said he would try to convey Myanmar's urgent need for the import ban and other American sanctions to be eased.

Suu Kyi's election to parliament in April helped to transform Myanmar's pariah image and convince the West to begin rolling back sanctions after a year of dramatic reforms, including the release of about 700 political prisoners in amnesties between May 2011 and July.

The 67-year-old Suu Kyi, striking a professorial tone in her first U.S. speech, said the rapid normalization of U.S.-Myanmar ties over the past 18 months was "particularly illustrative of the dimensions of geopolitics and history."

Many people around the region are asking, she said, whether U.S. engagement with Myanmar - a country of 64 million people that lies between China and India - "was aimed at containing the influence of China in Asia."

She said Myanmar's engagement with the United States did not mean that Myanmar-U.S. ties "in any way can be seen as a hostile threat to China" and that she sought good ties with both countries as well as with India.

BIG TEST IN 2015

Before Suu Kyi arrived in the United States on Monday, Myanmar announced a pardon of more than 500 prisoners in an amnesty that included at least 80 political detainees, according to activists.

The announcement, seen as a step that could strengthen the former military state's growing bonds with Washington, did not make clear if any of the 514 were political prisoners, but two activist groups who monitor dissidents jailed in Myanmar said more than 80 were given presidential pardons.

The U.S. State Department reacted cautiously to news of the amnesty, repeating its call for the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners.

John Sifton, Asia advocacy director at Human Rights Watch, said he wanted to hear more from Suu Kyi about a looming showdown in the next election in 2015, which will determine whether the generals who have run the country since 1962 will peacefully hand over power to civilians.

"You can be a politician or you can be a human rights activist who speaks frankly, but I don't think you can be both," he said.

"The full and frank assessment of human rights groups is that she's not prepared to play a very critical role with the government, nor does she speak the underlying truth about the political situation - the huge test that's coming up in 2015," added Sifton.

Japan Airlines shares gain in Tokyo trading debut

TOKYO (AP) ? Shares in once-bankrupt Japan Airlines Co. have gained modestly as they began trading in Tokyo following a 663 billion yen ($8.5 billion) initial public offering that nearly doubled the money that went into its bailout.

The shares were trading at 3,885 yen ($49.35) a half-hour after trading opened, up just 2.5 percent from their IPO price of 3,790 yen ($48). The price briefly topped 3,900 yen before falling back.

The carrier, also known as JAL, priced its 175 million shares at the top of its range, making its return to the Tokyo Stock Exchange the second biggest IPO this year after Facebook.

The carrier was delisted after it went bankrupt in 2010. It has since carried out cost cuts and restructured, returning to solid profitability.

Did the Reign of Dinosaurs Begin, as Well as End, with a Meteorite Strike?

Western New Jersey holds one of the most visible examples of the Triassic?Jurassic boundary, where evidence could settle the debate about what caused a mega-extinction event that paved the way for the age of dinosaurs

By Charles Q. Choi

STOCKTON, N.J.? A huge meteorite strike may have helped the dinosaurs rise as well as fall. That's what a small crew of mud-spattered researchers who drilled down hundreds of feet in New Jersey this summer wanted to discover.

Roughly 200 million years ago, at least half the species on Earth died off over the course of about 100,000 years, both on land and in sea. This mass extinction, at the boundary between the Triassic and Jurassic periods and one of five known such events in Earth's geologic history, set the stage for dinosaurs to rise to prominence and dominate the planet's terrestrial life for the next 135 million years.

The quest for answers regarding dinosaurs and the end-Triassic mass extinction had previously led paleontologist Paul Olsen and his colleagues at Columbia University's Lamont ?Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) to globe-trot to around cities in Morocco and along sea cliffs in the U.K . digging up clues from that past era. This summer, it brought them to the Kell family's yard in western New Jersey?the area holds one of the most visible examples of the Triassic? Jurassic boundary.

The sub surface dig for revealing sediment cores required a lightweight, portable drill called a Winkie. D iamond-tipped and gas-powered , it can be carried and operated by only two people?often paleomagnetist Dennis Kent and geochemist Morgan Schaller, both at Rutgers University. The goal was to unearth evidence of what might have triggered the mass extinction.

"The dinosaurs had actually first evolved about 25 million years before the mass extinction, but after their competition got wiped out, it looks like they came in like gangbusters," Olsen says. Such competition included extinct relatives of modern crocodilians, such as the large and carnivorous land-based rauisuchians and semiaquatic phytosaurs as well as ?plant-eating aetosaurs and revueltosaurs.

Many scientists blame the end-Triassic mass extinction on exceptionally massive volcanic eruptions over the course of less than 20,000 years that occurred about when the one-time supercontinent of Pangea began rifting apart. These eruptions coated what was to become Africa and the Americas with a million cubic kilometers of lava and doubled the level of carbon dioxide in the air causing massive global warming, "about a 3- degree Celsius increase on average in temperature, if the climate system was as sensitive as models suggest," Olsen says, citing research published by Schaller, Kent and their colleague James Wright in 2011.

Those 3 degrees "could have translated to lethally high summer temperatures, especially for some kinds of broad-leafed vegetation, which in turn could have led to extinctions of animals dependent on the plants," Olsen explains. "In the oceans, a rapid rise in carbon dioxide would have resulted in acidifying the oceans and badly impacting animals that make calcium carbonate skeletons, such as corals, bivalves and ammonites, all of which suffered massive drops in diversity."

Volcanic eruptions also release large amounts of sulfur-laden compounds that reflect sunlight, however, causing cooling. "The cooling only lasts a short time because the sulfur is removed quickly from the atmosphere, but the effect can be very intense, and for a world in which there were no ice caps and there were forests at the poles, such dramatic drops in temperature cold have been devastating on land," Olsen says.

"One can envision the carbon dioxide raising temperatures multiple times for tens of thousands of years, fading away over 100,000 years or so, but these periods of great warmth would be punctuated by many intervals of abrupt and intense cooling caused by the sulfur," Olsen continues. "This one-two punch may have been too much for terrestrial ecosystems and the warmth and acidity in the oceans too much for marine life. Result: mass extinction."

Author Insights: Slight Dip in Prostate Cancer Screening for Older ...

Joseph S. Ross, MD, MHS, assistant professor of internal medicine at Yale University, and colleagues found that a 2008 recommendation to stop PSA-based prostate cancer screening in older men had only a small effect on screening. Image: Yale University

The rate of prostate cancer screening by testing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels among men age 75 years or older declined just 2 percentage points after a 2008 recommendation from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) to discontinue such screening in this age group because the benefits were outweighed by the risks for these older patients, according to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine today.

Since the 2008 USPSTF recommendation, a growing body of evidence has suggested that routine PSA-based screening for prostate cancer saves few lives and may expose many men to serious and unnecessary harms from follow-up screening or unnecessary treatment. Based on such evidence, in May 2012 the USPSTF recommended an end to PSA-based prostate cancer screening for all men.

It is too soon to gauge the effect of the 2012 recommendation on prostate cancer screening. But a team of researchers has analyzed the effect of the 2008 USPSTF recommendation on PSA-based prostate cancer screening in older men. They found that the rate of screening among men 75 years or older dipped about 2 percentage points from 29.4% prior to the recommendation to 27.8% after the recommendation. The screening rate remained steady in a younger population of men.

Joseph S. Ross, MD, MHS, assistant professor of internal medicine at Yale University in New Haven, Conn, spoke with news@JAMA about the implications of the findings.

news@JAMA: What do your findings tell us about the effect of the 2008 USPSTF recommendation?

Dr Ross: There was a small but detectable difference in PSA screening among the men older than 75 relative to men between 65 and 75.

news@JAMA: Why do you think your results differed from other studies that found no difference in screening after the recommendation?

Dr Ross: There were methodological differences between our studies and others. We used younger men as a comparison group to detect whether other changes in screening were occurring during that period.

news@JAMA: What are the implications of your findings for the more recent recommendation to discontinue PSA screening?

Dr Ross: It should make policy makers realize it?s difficult to change physician behaviors. You can?t expect that just by making a statement, physicians are going to change behavior. If the intervention does cause more harm than benefit, policy makers may need to more aggressively try to change behavior.

news@JAMA: Why do you think physicians may be reluctant to follow the guideline?

Dr Ross: While the USPSTF recommendation may be based on the evidence from the best research to date, physicians may feel strongly about anecdotal evidence that the screening helped a particular patient. The controversy itself also leads to misleading information. Other groups come out and say they disagree. This makes it harder for physicians to feel as confident in their decisions.

news@JAMA: What can be done to ensure that physicians more quickly adopt evidence-based recommendations?

Dr Ross: It?s very difficult to change practice patterns because physicians have so much autonomy. The easiest way is to change reimbursement, but that is even more controversial. So a lot of education is needed for both physicians and patients about the risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening.
