Webcast Discussing Judge Scheindlin's Recent NDLON Ruling on ESI Productions and Metadata Now Available Online
2011-05-11
MCLEAN, VA, May 11, 2011 (Press-News.org) ZyLAB, a leading eDiscovery and information management technology company, today announced that the popular webcast titled "Contemporary Productions and Metadata for 21st Century Disclosures" is now available on demand from the company's website. The lively and informative 80-minute webcast addresses the controversy surrounding the recent ruling in the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) v. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) case involving ESI productions and metadata.

NDLON plaintiff counsel, Anthony Diana, of Mayer Brown LLP, kicks off the session with an introduction to the case, clarification of the technical and procedural challenges with the productions, and a summary of the resulting motions, opinions, and memoranda from the court.

"In this context, my view is that the government seems to be where many corporate defendants were 5 to 10 years ago in terms of the ability to produce electronic documents, and Judge Scheindlin, I think, has expressed that at various hearings," said Anthony Diana during the webcast. "I think the Court was shocked at the state of their ability to collect and produce electronic documents in the way that Judge Scheindlin perhaps believes should be done in at least civil litigation. I think the question is whether the government has to do it in FOIA as well."

Craig Ball, a renowned expert in forensic technology and electronic discovery, discusses the specific metadata fields addressed in Judge Scheindlin's opinion and how NDLON breaks new ground despite FOIA being regarded as different from eDiscovery. "All of this raises a new and interesting question," said Craig Ball during the webcast. "Do the rules establish a standard of care and conduct in counsel that must inform their behavior whenever they engage to produce information--not just in civil litigation under the rules of procedure?" Ball goes on to suggest that competent counsel in FOIA disputes should shoulder similar expectations of communication and cooperation as demanded of counsel in eDiscovery.

"There's also huge collaboration that goes on between legal and IT. For organizations that aren't quite litigation ready, sometimes the first encounter under this kind of strain produces extraordinarily odd results," said Mary Mack, Esq., enterprise technology counsel for ZyLAB, during the session. "If you are in an organization that has all of these FOIA requests, it might be a good time to consider normalizing how those productions will go out--especially with more and more sophisticated requestors of data."

Mack goes on to discuss the ways in which the proper use of technology and process will reduce the burden of metadata productions for FOIA and eDiscovery. Specific examples of metadata collection, automatic redaction, exemption codes and privilege codes, and load files are addressed.

Practice, not loss of sight, improves sense of touch in the blind: study

2011-05-11
New research from McMaster University may answer a controversial question: do the blind have a better sense of touch because the brain compensates for vision loss or because of heavy reliance on their fingertips? The study, published in the most recent edition of the Journal of Neuroscience, suggests daily dependence on touch is the answer. Twenty-eight profoundly blind participants—with varying degrees of Braille expertise—and 55 normally sighted adults were tested for touch sensitivity on six fingers and both sides of the lower lip. Researchers reasoned that, ...

Vitamins may hitch a protected ride on corn starch

2011-05-11
Vitamins and medications may one day take rides on starch compounds creating stable vitamin-enriched ingredients and cheaper controlled-release drugs, according to Penn State food scientists. The technique may offer drug and food companies a less expensive, more environmentally friendly alternative in creating, among other products, medications and food supplements. In a series of experiments, researchers formed pockets with corn starch and a fatty acid ester to carry oil soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin C, into the body, according to Gregory Ziegler, ...

Results from study of 8,000 older people in Ireland launched

2011-05-11
The first results from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), a national study of 8,000 older people aged 50 and over in Ireland, were launched this week by the Minister for Health and Children, Dr James Reilly. TILDA is the most comprehensive study ever conducted on ageing in Ireland. Between 2009- 2011, over 8,000 people aged 50 and over were randomly selected across the country and interviewed about many aspects of their lives including issues such as health, financial circumstances and quality of life. Almost 85 per cent of the participants also underwent ...

When words get hot, mental multitaskers collect cool

2011-05-11
How useful would it be to anticipate how well someone will control their emotions? To predict how well they might be able to stay calm during stress? To accept critical feedback stoically? Heath A. Demaree, professor of psychology at Case Western Reserve University, finds clues in what psychologists call "hot" and "cold" psychology. "People differ with regard to how well they can control their emotions, and one factor that predicts it is non-emotional in nature – it is a 'cold' cognitive construct," Demaree explains referring to Working Memory Capacity. Working ...

Toward a vaccine for methamphetamine abuse

2011-05-11
Scientists are reporting development of three promising formulations that could be used in a vaccine to treat methamphetamine addiction — one of the most serious drug abuse problems in the U.S. The report appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. In the paper, Kim Janda and colleagues note that methamphetamine use and addiction cost the U.S. more than $23 billion annually due to medical and law enforcement expenses, as well as lost productivity. The drug, also called "meth" or "crystal meth," can cause a variety of problems including cardiovascular damage ...

Finding reserves on the electrical grid

Finding reserves on the electrical grid
2011-05-11
This release is available in German. When storms lash northern and eastern Germany, it regularly gets tight in the high-voltage and highest-voltage electrical grids. Electricity from renewable resources has priority on the grid. But, on stormy days in particular, wind turbine systems must be taken offline, because the gird capacities are insufficient. "Currently we are in a situation where we have high inflows from renewable energies into our high voltage line system and are expecting large increases in the future. However, the grid is not designed for this level of ...

Software for the discovery of new crystal structures

2011-05-11
A new software called QED (Quantitative Electron Diffraction), which has been licensed by Max Planck Innovation, has now been released by HREM Research Inc., a Japan based company, which is developing products and services in the field of High-Resolution Electron Microscopy. QED allows transmission electron microscopes to acquire novel kinds of data, opening up new possibilities in electron crystallography. Transmission electron microscopes create magnified images of samples and are, in contrast to the light microscope, even able to resolve individual atoms. When transmitting ...

Maryland poll: Traditional media and internet more trusted than social media for research news

2011-05-11
WASHINGTON—May 11, 2011—Most Maryland residents trust the health and medical research information provided by traditional media—newspapers (77%), television (71%), magazines (68%), radio (66%)—and the Internet (also 66%), according to a new state poll commissioned by Research!America. Social media fared less well, with 51% saying social media is not trustworthy for health and medical research issues. Fewer than 20% use their cell phone or other mobile device to find health information. The Maryland poll findings were released today at a forum on science journalism at ...

Digital forensic examiners face stress, role-conflict

Digital forensic examiners face stress, role-conflict
2011-05-11
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Despite playing an increasingly vital role in criminal investigations, digital forensic examiners face staffing cuts, heavy caseloads and stress within police departments that may not fully understand their responsibilities, according to a study led by a Michigan State University criminologist. Police officials should consider hiring more digital forensic examiners or, failing that, improving their work environment, said Thomas Holt, MSU assistant professor of criminal justice. His study appears in the May issue of the Journal of Contemporary Criminal ...
