Qatar convicted 5 in deadly mall fire in 2012

DOHA, Qatar (AP) ? Qatar has convicted five people, including one of the country's diplomats, over a mall fire last year that killed 19 people, including 13 children at a daycare center caught in the blaze.

Investigators have blamed faulty wiring for the May 2012 blaze.

The International Trade Union Confederation, which has followed the case, says five of those convicted on Thursday were sentenced to six years in prison each.

They included the childcare center co-owners, Sheik Ali Bin Jasim Thani Al Thani and his wife. Al Thani serves as a Brussels-based diplomat.

An assistant mall manager and an employee of the trade ministry also got six years. A fifth suspect received a five-year sentence. All are free on appeal.

The dead children included triplets from New Zealand and three Spanish siblings.

Immaculata's Jacobs headed for University of Toronto

Kelowna's Eric Jacobs has always been interested in seeing the world beyond the boundaries of her hometown.

That's why moving more than 3,000 kilometres east to further her education and hone her volleyball skills felt like a pretty logical step for the 17-year-old athlete from Immaculata.

Jacobs has accepted a scholarship offer to join the University of Toronto Blues women's volleyball program this fall.

"I've wanted to go away all my life, to get out on my own, meet new people and have new experiences," said Jacobs. "Really, if I went to Vancouver, that would be four hours by car. Toronto is just four hours by plane, so it's not that much different. I'm just excited to be able to keep playing volleyball."

For three seasons with Immaculata's senior girls' program, the 6-foot-2 Jacobs dominated at the setter position, helping the Mustangs to a silver and two bronze medal efforts at the provincial championships.

Among her several post-secondary options was staying right at home to play with Steve Manuel's UBC Okanagan Heat. But with Emily Oxland and Chandler Proch already ahead of her on the depth chart, it would likely have meant a season as a red shirt before Jacobs would see any playing time.

At the U of T, Blues head coach Kristine Drakich plans to get the CIS rookie some quality floor time.

"It just seemed like the right fit," said Jacobs, whose brother, Brandon, also attends the U of T. "I liked the team, I liked the coach and it's a really good program. I'm happy to have the chance to play my first year out of high school and improve my skills."

Jacobs' game developed under the watchful eye of Mustangs' coach Brian Drosdovech since her Grade 8 year.

Because she skipped a grade at Immaculata, Jacobs is technically coming off her Grade 11 season, making her younger than than most of her peers at the university level.

As solid a player as Jacobs is already, Drosdovech said she is a long way from reaching her full potential.

"Erin has really good size and she has great hands," said Drosdovech. "She's still a year or two away from filling out, so physically she's just going to get stronger. On top of her setting skills, she has a very big block and, with her size, that's huge at the CIS level. I think in a year or two we're going to see what kind of player she can really be."

As for her prospects on a national scale, Drosdovech believes Jacobs has the tools to one day line up for the Canadian senior women's program.

Jacobs admits it's among her future goals.

"It's definitely been a dream of mine, to play on the national team," she said. "It it ever worked out, it would be amazing."

But first things first, Jacobs will play this summer for Team B.C., before joining the Varsity Blues at the end of August.

A 4.0 GPA student at Immaculata, Jacobs will study life sciences at the University of Toronto.

TORONTO, June 17, 2013How kids eat their food may turn out to be just as important as what they eat, according to a new study out of St. Michael's Hospital.

The study, led by Dr. Nav Persaud, a family physician, found a significant association between poor eating habits in kids ages three to five and their levels of non-HDL or "bad" cholesterol, putting them at risk for cardiovascular disease later in life.

The paper appeared online in the Canadian Medical Association Journal today.

"We know that eating behaviours are an important determinant of health in adults and adolescents, but this is the first time pre-school age children have been looked at to see if their eating habits are affecting their health as well," said Dr. Persaud.

Poor eating behaviours included eating while watch TV, snacking on junk food between meals and allowing kids to decide for themselves when they wanted to eat.

The study looked at data from more than 1,000 preschoolers who were recruited through TARGet Kids!, a collaboration between children's doctors and researchers from St. Michael's Hospital, the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. The program follows children from birth with the aim of understanding and preventing common nutrition problems in the early years and their impact on health and disease later in life.

Parents filled out questionnaires assessing their child's eating behaviours, and researchers looked at the child's height, weight and fat profile in their blood. They assigned risk based on ethnicity of the parents, as some groups are more prone to heart disease than others.

"There are a lot of interventions focused on what children are eating," Dr. Persaud said. "But it's also very important we focus on eating behaviours because how a child is eating can affect the quantity and quality of food being eaten as well."

Dr. Persaud said if a child is watching TV while eating, they are less likely to notice natural cues telling them when they are full, and are more likely to eat an unbalanced meal.

"Discovering this link early in life is important because the behaviour is still largely changeable," Dr. Persaud said. "It gives us an opportunity to prevent disease and screen for behavioural interventions."

Cano, Wright named captains for NY Home Run Derby

Associated Press Sports

updated 7:10 p.m. ET June 11, 2013

NEW YORK (AP) - David Wright and Robinson Cano are going to give the Home Run Derby a New York feel.

Wright, the third baseman for the New York Mets, this year's host for the All-Star game, has been named captain of the National League team. Cano, the crosstown rival Yankees second baseman, is going to lead the AL squad for the second straight year.

The derby is scheduled for July 15 at Citi Field as part of All-Star weekend festivities in New York City.

Wright and Cano will choose three teammates each. Last year, Cano was roundly booed for bypassing Royals star Billy Butler when the event was in Kansas City.

Cano won the derby in 2011 and Wright was runner-up in 2006.

PARIS (AP) ? When Serena Williams had won the final point Sunday, she paused behind the baseline to urge herself on with one last fist pump.

"Come on!" she shouted, as if her work wasn't done ? which it isn't.

Williams earned a berth in the French Open quarterfinals and extended her career-best winning streak to 28 matches by beating No. 15-seeded Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-3.

It was her toughest test of the first week, but she swept the last 10 points and has lost only 10 games through four rounds.

"I just want every point," she said. "Every match I'm really focused for the whole period of time. I really want it every match."

The 15-time Grand Slam champion next plays 2009 French Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova. With a victory, Williams would earn her first berth in a French Open semifinal since 2003.

She won her lone Roland Garros title in 2002.

The three other remaining Americans play Monday. Four U.S. women reached the fourth round, the most at Roland Garros since 2004.

Two-time Grand Slam champion Kuznetsova, ranked 39th but rejuvenated this year, beat No. 8-seeded Angelique Kerber 6-4, 4-6, 6-3. In men's play, David Ferrer reached the quarterfinals for the sixth Grand Slam in a row by beating Kevin Anderson 6-3, 6-1, 6-1.

Vinci tried everything to get Williams off balance. The 5-foot-4 Italian played serve and volley, attempted to chip and charge and mixed the pace of her groundstrokes, including an occasional drop shot.

"She played really smart," Williams said. "I knew how she was going to play. Some of the things she did I definitely expected, and I just had to come up with an answer."

Williams answered forcefully, whacking second serves harder than Vinci's first serves, and her persistent power proved the difference.

Serving in the opening game of the second set, Williams fell behind love-30, as if trying to make it a fair fight. She then hit an ace, kissed a forehand winner off a line, won the next point with another booming groundstroke and closed out the game with a drop-shot winner.

"It was not easy to win today," Williams told the center court crowd afterward in French, "but I'm very happy, and I'm ready for the next round."

She improved to 20-0 this year on clay. Since losing in the first round a year ago at Roland Garros, Williams is 71-3, including titles at Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the London Olympics and the season-ending WTA Championships.

Williams first reached the quarterfinals at Roland Garros in 2001, when she was 19. Now she's 31 and the oldest player in the top 10.

"She's the best in the world so far," said Kuznetsova, who is 2-6 against Williams. "She has been playing unbelievable tennis. But I believe that I have game and my good days as well. Let's cross fingers I will have a good day."

Kuznetsova won when they met in the 2009 quarterfinals at Roland Garros and went on to the title.

The Russian has now reached the final eight in back-to-back major tournaments for the first time since that year. She made the quarterfinals at the Australian Open in January before losing to eventual champion Victoria Azarenka.

"Grand Slams always bring the best out of me," Kuznetsova said. "It just comes naturally. Here it's the French Open ? it says everything."

Kuznetsova whacked a forehand winner on match point, then let out a jubilant scream. She improved to 12-2 this year in three-set matches, and her winning percentage of .820 (41-9) at Roland Garros is the best among active players.

Ferrer, seeded No. 4, converted 6 of 17 break-point chances against Anderson. Ferrer held every service game and committed only 11 unforced errors to 41 for the South African, seeded No. 23.

When the Spaniard closed out the victory, he looked to the blue sky and raised both fists. His next opponent will be the winner of the match between two other Spaniards, No. 11 Nicolas Almagro and No. 32 Tommy Robredo.

Ferrer has won four matches without dropping a set. He's a four-time major semifinalist, including at Roland Garros last year, but hasn't reached a final.

Atomic-scale investigations solve key puzzle of LED efficiency

May 23, 2013 ? From the high-resolution glow of flat screen televisions to light bulbs that last for years, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) continue to transform technology. The celebrated efficiency and versatility of LEDs -- and other solid-state technologies including laser diodes and solar photovoltaics -- make them increasingly popular. Their full potential, however, remains untapped, in part because the semiconductor alloys that make these devices work continue to puzzle scientists.

A contentious controversy surrounds the high intensity of one leading LED semiconductor -- indium gallium nitride (InGaN) -- with experts split on whether or not indium-rich clusters within the material provide the LED's remarkable efficiency. Now, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated definitively that clustering is not the source. The results -- published online May 16 in Applied Physics Letters -- advance fundamental understanding of LED technology and open new research pathways.

"This discovery helps solve a significant mystery in the field of LED research and demonstrates breakthrough experimental techniques that can advance other sensitive and cutting-edge electronics," said Silvija Grade?ak, the Thomas Lord Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT and a coauthor on the study. "The work brings us closer to truly mastering solid-state technologies that could supply light and energy with unprecedented efficiency."

Building a Better Bulb

Incandescent lights -- the classic bulbs that use glowing wires of tungsten or other metals -- convert only about five percent of their energy into visible light, with the rest lost as heat. Fluorescent lights push that efficiency up to about 20 percent, still wasting 80 percent of the electricity needed to keep homes and businesses bright. In both of these instances, light is only the byproduct of heat-generating reactions rather than the principal effect, making the technology inherently inefficient.

"Solid-state lights convert electric current directly into photons," said Eric Stach, leader of the Electron Microscopy Group at Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and a co-author on the study. "LED bulbs use semiconductors to generate light in a process called electroluminescence. The efficiency of this process could, in theory, be nearly perfect, but the experimental realization has not reached those levels. That disconnect helped motivate this study."

For this study, the scientists looked at the LED compound InGaN (pronounced in-gan), which is particularly promising for practical applications. InGaN alloys contain dislocations -- structural imperfections that could inhibit electricity flow and light production -- but somehow the alloy performs exceptionally well. To understand the light-emitting reactions, physicists needed to understand what was happening on the atomic scale. After researchers started to investigate, however, not everyone reached the same conclusions.

Controversial Clusters

"Years ago, a team of researchers used electron microscopes to examine InGaN samples, and they identified a surprising phenomenon -- the material appeared to be spontaneously decomposing and forming these isolated indium-rich clusters," Stach said. "This behavior could explain the efficient light emission, as the clusters might help electrons avoid the structural problems in the InGaN. But then things became really interesting when another group proposed that the electron microscope itself caused that clustering decomposition. We had a real divide in the semiconductor field."

Rather than using light to examine materials, electron microscopes bombard samples with finely tuned beams of electrons and detect their interactions when they pass through a sample to reveal atomic structures. To achieve high enough resolution to examine the InGaN alloys, the electron microscopes used in the older experiments needed high-voltage beams. The controversy revolved around whether or not the experiment itself produced the clusters, rather than discovering the mechanism behind efficient light emission.

Improved Imaging

"The state-of-the-art instruments available at Brookhaven Lab's CFN changed the way we could test these promising materials," Grade?ak said. "The CFN's aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) opened a new and non-destructive window into the LED samples. For the first time, we could get ?ngstrom-level details -- that's one tenth of one nanometer -- without the risk of the device affecting the sample."

The researchers combined the leading STEM techniques with high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), which measured the energy lost by electrons as they passed through the sample. Post-doctoral researchers Kamal Baloch of MIT -- the lead author of the study -- and Aaron Johnston-Peck of CFN actually applied these imaging techniques to the same samples that first launched the controversy over clustering, helping further settle the issue.

"We found that the indium-rich clusters do not actually exist in these samples, even though they remain efficient light emitters," Baloch said. "While clustering may still occur in other samples, which may be prepared in different ways, the important point is that we've established a foolproof method for investigating InGaN materials. We can use these non-destructive imaging techniques to explore the fundamental relationship between cluster formation and light emission to help unlock the secrets of this amazing alloy."

Beyond the advanced imaging instruments, researchers used the expertise of Brookhaven Lab physicist Kim Kisslinger, who specializes in nanoscale sample preparation. The InGaN samples were reduced to a thickness of just 20 nanometers, an essential step in priming the materials for STEM and EELS experimentation. The samples were also painstakingly cleaned and polished to eliminate artifacts that might impact image resolution.

The research was supported by the Center for Excitonics, an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. The work at Brookhaven Lab's Center for Functional Nanomaterials was also supported by DOE's Office of Science, with additional work carried out at the MIT Center for Materials Science Engineering.

North Carolina Museum of Art Announces Summer Performing Arts ...

NCMA Summer Concert Series

The North Carolina Museum of Art (NCMA) announces the 2013 summer schedule of outdoor concerts and films. The summer performing arts series includes nine concerts, 15 films, and three nights of a family favorite.

Outdoor Concert Series

The summer series begins with a performance by East L.A. band Los Lobos on May 17. The band embraces both the American experience and their Mexican heritage, drawing from rock, Tex-Mex, country, folk, R&B, blues, and traditional Spanish and Mexican music. Los Lobos has a longstanding relationship with the NCMA, and the Museum is delighted to welcome them back.

Glen Hansard (pictured left) returns to the NCMA stage on June 15, opened by Doug Paisley. After performing in popular Irish band The Frames and, more recently, with Marketa Irglova as The Swell Season, Hansard debuted his first solo album, Rhythm and Repose, last year to critical acclaim.
On June 29 the NCMA welcomes revered musicians and activists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers of Indigo Girls. These two Grammy-winning folk singers have sold more than 12 million albums and recently released their 14th studio album, Beauty Queen Sister.

On July 12 Dale Watson and The Lonestars perform, followed by a screening of the movie Bernie. Honkytonk hero and country music maverick Watson, a member of the Austin Music Hall of Fame, is a key contributor to the soundtrack of this black comedy set in East Texas and starring Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine, and Matthew McConaughey. Iris restaurant serves Texas BBQ brisket and Texas beer.

The fifth summer performance is Canadian stringband The Duhks on July 13. Inspired by Celtic and Appalachian stringband music, The Duhks perform a mix of contemporary, traditional, and original tunes with irresistible energy and musicianship.

Bruce Hornsby (pictured right) makes his first appearance at the NCMA on August 3 with his longtime bandmates the Noisemakers. The three-time Grammy-winning singer-pianist-composer and bandleader has tapped nearly every style of American popular music?folk, rock, jazz, bluegrass, classical, blues, and even electronica?and is sure to put on quite a show.

North Carolina native Tift Merritt performs on August 17. Merritt, whom All Music Guide calls ?the Emmylou Harris of her generation,? recently released her fifth studio album, Traveling Alone, her most rewarding yet.

August 24 brings another music-movie combo to the summer stage. A performance by Cajun-rock band Lost Bayou Ramblers is followed by a showing of the Oscar-nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild, set in coastal Louisiana?s bayou country. The Lost Bayou Ramblers were key contributors to the movie?s soundtrack. Iris restaurant offers Hurricanes and po? boys.
