An Olympic dental challenge
If Beijing was a baptism of fire for Tony Clough, then London should prove a breeze. On home ground – and only a short trip from where he practises in Chelmsford, London 2012 will – eventually – prove a home-from-home experience, one that he is well equipped to manage. Budgets and bureaucracy aside, he's looking forward to it. Tony is dentist and medical team consultant for the 2012 Games. He was thrown in at the deep end for the Beijing Olympics back in 2008, where he got involved in the care of the elite Olympic athletes when his predecessor fell ill. It was a turning point. He lectures at Essex University where he is actively involved in the dental health foundation degree course as a clinical educator. Read full article here.

Technology: not just for geeks
Across the world, scientists and engineers, commercial companies and academic institutions are beavering away on something called ambient technology. It basically means finding a way of getting all our gadgets communicating with each other: from our PC to the central heating boiler and the curtain track to the whirlpool bath. One of the places building this brave new world is the University of Essex. Its iSpace laboratory – set up as a mock but realistic apartment, complete with bedroom, kitchen-lounge and bathroom – has long been a test-bed for technology.

Online tuition options are not second-rate, says task force chair
The idea that online learning is a "poor substitute" for campus provision is a myth, according to the head of the UK's Online Learning Task Force. Dame Lynne Brindley, chief executive of the British Library and chair of the task force, said the best examples of online learning were "not cheap alternatives". Echoing David Willetts, the Conservative universities and science minister, Dame Lynne emphasised the value placed by students on accreditation and links with well-established universities. Examples highlighted in an update published by the task force earlier this year include partnerships between the University of Essex and Kaplan Open Learning, and the University of London External System, which recently won praise from Mr Willetts.

Time to review police use of 'joint enterprise'
Trouble in the football stand: police now use the concept of joint enterprise to prosecute everyone involved in a crime. The centuries-old legal doctrine of "joint enterprise" has been taken up with enthusiasm by modern policemen and prosecutors. It provides one remedy for the increasingly intractable problem of how you prosecute urban gangs. However, its increased use also raises very real issues of fairness, as has been voiced by campaigners for reform, who were disappointed this week when permission to appeal was dismissed in the controversial case of Jordan Cunliffe, a partially blind teenager convicted of murder because he was present at the attack and did nothing to prevent it. Increasingly, concerns are being expressed about the use of joint enterprise against gang activity and whether it is fair. The (then) Lord Chief Justice Lord Philips set out his reservations in his University of Essex/Clifford Chance lecture on reforming the law of homicide in 2008. The Law Commission has echoed these doubts. Read full article here.

Debt is a feminist issue: Huge leap in bankruptcy among women
The number of British women going bankrupt has risen almost fivefold in the past 10 years, with new figures revealing a 28 per cent increase in the past year alone. In some cases, according to insolvency experts, the surge is down to the "irresponsible spending" of women trying to emulate glamorous celebrities, while others are being driven to financial ruin by unemployment, pay inequality and childcare costs. New figures from the Insolvency Service show that women now account for 40 per cent of all bankruptcies, rising from 6,042 in 2000 to 29,680 in 2009. Recent studies have shown that divorce leaves men richer, but women poorer. Research by the Institute for Social and Economic Research in 2009 found that, contrary to popular belief, men were 25 per cent richer five years after divorce, whereas women's incomes fell by a fifth.

University project to improve AI in computer games
Playing computer games could become a lot more realistic following a major research project being carried out at the University of Essex. The researchers aim to make the computer-controlled non-player characters (NPCs) in computer games more ‘intelligent’ so they behave more like humans. Professor Simon Lucas, who is leading the project through Essex University’s School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, said: "This research will lead to a more robust type of intelligent behaviour. For players of video games it has the potential to give NPCs the 'wow factor' as they behave in more human-like and realistic ways, taking the player by surprise with their intelligence and empathy.”

Entropy analysis threatens to turn efficient computing on its head

When they went back to first principles and factored in the need for a computer to obey exactly the same physical laws as any other machine, their results indicated, counter-intuitively, that you will waste less energy if you can run computer chips hotter.

Park Inn does like to be beside Southend’s seaside
The Palace, which overlooks the Thames Estuary and Adventure Island theme park, had been a symbol of the post-war decline in the seaside town from the hotel’s Edwardian heyday. When Octagon Assets, a subsidiary of John Christodoulou’s Yianis Group, bought the Palace in 2003, it was a hostel. James Lane, a director of Yianis, says: “We always had a hotel consent, and we looked at it as a hotel, although we had discussions to turn it into University of Essex accommodation. But we came to the conclusion that it was right as a hotel.” In March, Park Inn, which is part of the Minneapolis-based Rezidor Hotel Group, signed a management agreement with Yianis. The hotelier is experiencing its first summer season in its first seaside location. General manager Roderick Smith says: “We are trading above expectation. In May there were five nights when we were fully booked, and we were generally 50% full.”

Health Secretary should clean up his own kitchen before taking aim at celebrity chefs
Andrew Lansley has picked a fight with, of all people, the celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.
The Health Secretary has told the British Medical Association that Oliver's well-intentioned efforts to have healthier school meals has meant fewer children eating them.
If Lansley is looking for evidence of healthy eating success, he should turn to a report from the Institute for Social and Economic Research, based at Essex University. It showed that schools in Greenwich which had put Jamie Oliver in charge of their school meals found their charges performed better academically. The 11-year-old pupils on the Oliver diet improved by up to 8 per cent in science and as much as 6 per cent in English - more than in schools remaining loyal to Turkey Twizzlers.

Itron invests to stay ahead in its field
Itron is the world’s leading provider of intelligent metering, data collection and utility software solutions, with nearly 8,000 utilities worldwide relying on its technology to optimise the delivery and use of energy and water.
When EEI Investor Development Managers first made contact with the company two years ago, it was clear that they had good contacts with a number of universities.
However, the ID team identified Essex University as a new and potentially valuable collaboration partner.
Representatives from the company paid a visit to the university to see first-hand the research facilities and access opportunities in the Department of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.
A reciprocal visit to Itron gave the academics the opportunity to identify areas where scientific knowledge exchange was likely to be fruitful. As a result, Itron has been able to employ qualified engineers directly from the university.
Stuart Wilkinson, who is Technology and Services Manager at Itron International’s UK operation, added: ‘Our network of contacts has significantly expanded as a result of our introduction to Essex University.’

Other towns in the county to gain campuses as a result of the venture were Bury St Edmunds, Great Yarmouth, Lowestoft and Otley.
