Update: Investigators Say No Evidence AirAsia Captain Left His Seat

Indonesian air crash investigators said on Monday they had not so far found evidence that the pilot of an AirAsia jet had left his seat, or that power to an automated control system was shut off, shortly before the aircraft plunged into the sea.

Two sources familiar with the investigation had told Reuters that Captain Iriyanto was out of his seat carrying out the unusual procedure of pulling the circuit-breaker on a flight computer when his co-pilot apparently lost control of the Airbus A320.

AirAsia flight QZ8501 vanished from radar screens on Dec. 28, less than half-way into a two-hour flight from Indonesia’s second-biggest city of Surabaya to Singapore. All 162 people on board were killed.

“Up until today, there is no indication yet that the captain left his seat as reported by Reuters,” Ertata Lananggalih, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Committee (NTSC), told Reuters at the team’s office in Jakarta, referring to the story published earlier.

People familiar with the investigation had earlier told Reuters that investigators were examining maintenance records of one of the plane’s automated systems, the flight augmentation computer (FAC), and how the pilots may have reacted to any outage.

Bloomberg News reported on Friday that the pilots of the crashed plane had tried to reset the FAC during the flight, and had then pulled a circuit-breaker to cut power to the device.

People familiar with the matter told Reuters it was the Indonesian captain who took this step, rather than his less experienced French co-pilot, Remy Plesel, who was flying the plane.

Circuit Breaker

NTSC investigators disputed on Monday that the circuit breaker was pulled.
“Up until today, there is no indication or evidence yet that the circuit breaker was pulled,” Lananggalih said.

The NTSC declined to elaborate further, saying the accident was still under investigation.

However, a document prepared by the investigation team and reviewed by Reuters indicated the FAC system and the cockpit circuit breakers were among the issues of interest to the probe.

The schedule document listed more than 30 items for discussion. Along with more general points such as “wreckage recovery” and “maintenance review,” it included the entry “FAC engagement and failure understanding” and another entry related to pulling “CB,” a common abbreviation for circuit-breakers.

“This is .. just inventory. It is to make the investigation easier. There are maybe 40 or 35 things that have to be discussed,” said Tatang Kurniadi, chief of the NTSC, when asked about the list.

“It is not just circuit breakers. This is the first plan…it could change again because of developments. This was prepared in the first week of the investigation.”

The checklist made no mention of pilot seats or movements in the cockpit.

Investigators have said it was too early to say whether the accident involved pilot error or a mechanical fault.

AirAsia declined comment. The airline said previously it would not comment while the crash, its first ever fatal accident, was under investigation by the NTSC.

Indonesia has released some factual details of the circumstances of the crash, but has not made public the preliminary accident report it submitted to the International Civil Aviation Organization last week.

Although more is becoming known about the chain of events, people familiar with the investigation warned against making assumptions on the accident’s cause, which needed more analysis.

Safety experts say air crashes are most often caused by a chain of events, each of which is necessary but not sufficient to explain the underlying causes of the accident.

World Health Day 2015: Food safety

 7 April 2015 - World Health Day

 Background

Unsafe food is linked to the deaths of an estimated 2 million people annually – including many children. Food containing harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical substances is responsible for more than 200 diseases, ranging from diarrhoea to cancers.
New threats to food safety are constantly emerging. Changes in food production, distribution and consumption; changes to the environment; new and emerging pathogens; antimicrobial resistance - all pose challenges to national food safety systems. Increases in travel and trade enhance the likelihood that contamination can spread internationally.

The topic for World Health Day 2015 is food safety

As our food supply becomes increasingly globalized, the need to strengthen food safety systems in and between all countries is becoming more and more evident. That is why the WHO is promoting efforts to improve food safety, from farm to plate (and everywhere in between) on World Health Day, 7 April 2015.
WHO helps countries prevent, detect and respond to foodborne disease outbreaks - in line with the Codex Alimentarius, a collection of international food standards, guidelines and codes of practice covering all the main foods and processes. Together with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), WHO alerts countries to food safety emergencies through an international information network.

Five keys to safer food

Food safety is a shared responsibility. It is important to work all along the food production chain – from farmers and manufacturers to vendors and consumers. For example, WHO’s Five keys to safer food offer practical guidance to vendors and consumers for handling and preparing food:

• Key 1: Keep clean
• Key 2: Separate raw and cooked food
• Key 3: Cook food thoroughly
• Key 4: Keep food at safe temperatures
• Key 5: Use safe water and raw materials.

World Health Day 2015 is an opportunity to alert people working in different government sectors, farmers, manufacturers, retailers, health practitioners – as well as consumers – about the importance of food safety, and the part each can play in ensuring that everyone can feel confident that the food on their plate is safe to eat.

Lawyers are more liberal than general population, study finds; what about judges?

Law professors and lawyers are more liberal than the general population, while judges are more conservative than the average lawyer, according to a study of campaign contributions.

Study co-author Maya Sen, a Harvard government professor, says the findings suggest that courts are politicized, the New York Times reports. Judges’ ideology would reflect that of lawyers if voters and officials who appoint judges weren’t taking ideology into account, she says.

University of Chicago law professor Eric Posner suggests a different interpretation of the findings. The argument could be made, he tells the Times, that courts are politicized if they don’t track the ideology of the general population.

The study (PDF) by Sen and Stanford professor Adam Bonica compared lawyers listed in the 2012 Martindale-Hubbell legal directory with a database of campaign contributions from 1979 to 2012.

Forty-three percent of the 975,000 lawyers listed in the 2012 directory had made campaign contributions. Though conduct codes bar federal and some state judges by making campaign contributions, many were donors before taking the bench, including nearly 65 percent of federal appeals judges.

Among lawyers, the most liberal leaning are government lawyers, followed by law professors, public defenders, female lawyers, lawyers from the top 14 law schools, lawyers at large law firms, partners at firms and prosecutors, according to a chart of the findings in the New York Times. The least liberal leaning lawyers (though more liberal than judges) are lawyers not from the top 100 law schools, male lawyers, and lawyers from the top 15 to 100 law schools.

Among judges, the most conservative are on federal appeals courts followed by those on state higher courts, federal district courts and state trial courts.
