Notre Dame and Purdue researchers developing a new test for safer milk

A team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame and Purdue University has received a three-year grant of $500,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop a new technology that can rapidly test milk and other dairy products for harmful pathogens.

Though the research will be applicable to many microorganisms, the team's first goal is to reduce the incidence of brucellosis, a condition caused by infection from Brucella bacteria, various strains of which are found in sheep, goats, cattle and swine. Brucellosis is the most common animal-to-human infection worldwide, with more than 500,000 new cases reported each year. It rarely causes death, but it can result in prolonged health problems.

"The infection is usually acquired by ingestion of contaminated animal products, typically raw milk and other unpasteurized dairy products such as soft cheeses," says Ramesh Vemulapalli, professor of veterinary immunology and microbiology at Purdue and a collaborating investigator on the project.

"Although it is rarely seen in developed countries, there is growing concern that these pathogens are spreading because of increased global tourism and immigration."

The researchers are using the USDA funding to design and build a portable device that can analyze a food sample and provide a reading within 15 minutes.

The technology is based on a microfluidic detection platform developed in the lab of project leader Chia Chang, Bayer Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Notre Dame and an investigator in the University's Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics initiative.

"Our system is very sensitive and selective," explains Chang. "We can take a sample, concentrate the microorganisms in it and then detect fewer than a hundred bacteria per milliliter."

One major technical challenge is pretreating the milk before it hits the instrument's sensors.

"There are many solids and large molecules, such as fat, in milk," says co-investigator Arun Bhunia, professor of food science at Purdue. "We are working on a way to incorporate a quick and seamless pretreatment phase into the system."

Team members are also focused on usability and design, because they want the device to be functional for people without high levels of technical training.

Advanced Diagnostics and Therapeutics a component of Notre Dame's Strategic Research Investment initiative is dedicated to developing tools and technologies to combat disease, promote health and safeguard the environment.

Kenyan police: 15 killed, 40 wounded in two church shootings

Somali Islamist militants are suspected of being behind two bloody attacks on Christian church-goers in Kenya.

By Jason Straziuso,?Associated Press / July 1, 2012

Members of the Kenyan security forces guard the scene outside the African Inland Church in Garissa, Kenya July 1. Gunmen killed two policemen guarding a church, snatched their rifles and then opened fire on the congregation with bullets and grenades on Sunday.

Gunmen killed two policemen guarding a church, snatched their rifles and then opened fire on the congregation from inside and out on Sunday, killing 15 people and wounding 40, security officials said.

Two gunmen entered the simple wooden church in the city of Garissa at around 10:15 a.m. Sunday, while two others waited outside, police commander Philip Ndolo said. When the congregation fled the attack inside, they ran straight into another hail of bullets from gunmen outside, he said. At least one grenade was detonated in the attack.

Overturned wooden benches littered the church afterward. A victim wearing a simple blue dress lay on the sandy earth outside. Witnesses reported seeing the four gunmen flee in dark blue outfits and masks.

"We were deep in prayers preparing to give our offerings," said a visibly shaken David Mwange, a churchgoer. "We first had a loud bang from outside which we mistook to be coming from the rooftops. We then had gun shots which made us to lie down. Within no time we had gunshots all over. Everybody was shouting and wailing in pain."

The bloodiest of the two attacks came against the African Inland Church in Garissa, a city some 195 kilometers (120 miles) west of the Somali border. Ndolo said 15 people were killed and at least 40 wounded. A grenade attack against a second church in Garissa wounded three people.

Garissa Mayor Ismail Garat called the church assault "evil."

"We are not used to witnessing such kinds of acts in our country, where people are just shot in broad daylight. We really want to know who the heartless people who did this are," he said.

Ndolo told reporters he wanted an investigation carried out before assigning blame to the group many people in this region assume is at fault: al-Shabab, the most dangerous militant group in Somalia.

Another security official said two attackers walked up to the two policemen guarding the church, shot them at point-blank range and took their rifles. The official spoke only on condition he wasn't identified because he is not allowed to speak to media.

The police were guarding the church because of the increasingly dangerous security situation near the border with Somalia and because Somalia's Islamist militants have made Christian churches a common target.

Such a heinous attack could be a copycat strategy from Boko Haram, the group of Islamist militants in Nigeria that has made gruesome, deadly attacks against Christian churches one of their hallmarks.

Garissa is one of two major Kenyan towns near the border with Somalia. It lies just to the west of the Dadaab refugee camp, which houses nearly 500,000 Somali refugees. On Friday armed attackers kidnapped four international workers with the Norwegian Refugee Council and are believed to have taken them over the border into Somalia.

A top security official suggested after that assault that the attackers came from within the camp. Kenyan officials have long complained Dadaab and its inhabitants are a threat to?Kenya's?security. Kenyan officials hope to see the Dadaab refugees move back to Somalia, but they cannot force the refugees to move without breaking international law and courting wide international condemnation.

Areas of northern and eastern?Kenya?along the border with Somalia have suffered a series of gunfire and grenade attacks over the last year. Militants attacked a church in Garissa in December, killing two people.

Kenya?sent troops into Somalia last October to hunt al-Shabab fighters. The militants, who are allied with al-Qaida, have threatened repeatedly to carry out revenge attacks for?Kenya's?push into Somalia. Sunday's attacks appear to be part of that trend.

Negotiations break down, Con Ed workers dismissed

NEW YORK (AP) ? Contract negotiations between Consolidated Edison and its unionized workers broke down early Sunday, prompting the dismissal of about 8,500 workers, utility officials said. Union officials said the workers were locked out.

The negotiations occurred as New York braced for more hot weather, and caused worry that people would be unable to use power for air conditioning, but utility officials said those fears are unfounded.

Negotiations between the Con Ed and Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers of America lasted just over 10 days. The contract expired at midnight Saturday, but talks continued early Sunday. There were a range of issues discussed from pensions to heath care and wages.

Negotiations broke down just before 2 a.m.

"We feel this is very unfortunate. Both sides are very far part," Con Ed spokesman Michael Clendenin said.

Union spokesman John Melia said the union negotiators were kicked out of the room in what he called a "union-busting tactic."

"This is not a labor issue," he said. "This is a corporate monopoly."

Clendenin said the company was calling in 5,000 managers, some of them immediately, to run the utility because it couldn't run the risk of a strike by the workers. He said company officials had asked the union for a two-week extension to negotiate before talks broke down, which union officials denied.

Melia said the workers told the company they'd be willing to work without a contract until an agreement was reached to keep the power company running.

"We did everything to avert this action," he said. "We recognize that New York City is sweltering right now. ... We recognize we have a responsibility to the people of New York City and Westchester County."

The utility serves about 3.2 million customers.
