'Kill the Cover Letter.' Long Live the Cover Tweet - ERE.net

While the debate rages on about the future of the resume, there?s angst, but not as much, over the destiny of the cover letter.

A year ago Fortune asked ?Are we killing off the cover letter?? The answer, at least according to the survey the article references, is a resounding yes.

Earlier though, Ruby on Rails creator and 37Signals partner David Heinemeier Hansson insisted, ?A great resume will get you not-rejected, a great cover letter will get you hired.?

But compared to the ?Resume: Love ?em or Leave ?em? controversy, the cover letter discussion comes down as more Solomonic. Four years ago, ERE?s founder and chairman David Manaster analyzed the relevance of the cover letter in the (then)-still-dawning age of social recruiting, summing it up this way:

To a large degree, the cover letter vs. social media debate is like discussing the merits of the hammer vs. the screwdriver. Different situations call for different tools, and often both are necessary.

Today, we focus on the screwdriver. InternMatch is hosting Kill The Cover Letter day. It?s an attention-getting pronouncement, but fitting for in this case the companies that won?t be accepting a cover letter (though they will a resume) are looking for interns for their social media programs.

Reprising the event from last year, InternMatch, itself a startup, expects to host up to about 50 other startup or early stage companies which want to see creativity and social media smarts from applicants. No cover letter (obviously); tweets only to apply. And not a lot of words in those tweets (as if you could, anyway). Rules say to send links to favorite blogs, to a portfolio or resume (the resume still lives!), and a handful of other stuff.

Later in the day, at 3 p.m. PDT, there?s a panel on Google Hangouts of social media pros and recruiters from Google, Oglivey and Mather, and elsewhere to talk about what it takes to get a job in social media and how to manage your social media brand.

FDA approves Raptor's drug for nephropathic cystinosis

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Food and Drug Administration has approved an experimental drug from Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp to treat a rare genetic disorder that can cause irreversible tissue damage, organ failure and premature death.

Raptor's shares rose as much as 15.6 percent on Tuesday.

The drug, Procysbi, is designed to treat nephropathic cystinosis, the most common form of a disease known as cystinosis, in which toxic levels of cystine, a naturally occurring amino acid, build up in the body's cells and organs. The disease, which affects some 500 patients in the United States, is usually fatal by the age of 10.

Procysbi is a delayed-release formulation of cysteamine bitartrate, a drug sold under the brand name Cystagon by Mylan Inc. The drugs work by lowering cystine levels, potentially delaying kidney and other damage. Mylan's product is the current standard of care.

Raptor's drug is designed to be given once every 12 hours, instead of once every six hours for Cystagon.

The company's shares were up 7.3 percent to $7.03 in afternoon trading on Nasdaq. Earlier they rose as high as $7.67.

Accused Colorado gunman's lawyers may enter insanity plea

By Keith Coffman

DENVER (Reuters) - Lawyers for accused Colorado theater gunman James Holmes are questioning the constitutionality of the state's insanity defense law, court records released on Tuesday show, and raising the possibility that they may enter an insanity plea over his objections.

Public defenders for Holmes, 25, said in a filing that there is "significant uncertainty and confusion" in Colorado law surrounding an insanity defense in the context of a case where prosecutors are seeking capital punishment.

That puts defense attorneys in a quandary, they wrote, because they cannot vouch for "the cognitive ability of their mentally ill client to understand complex legal concepts that few lawyers understand."

"That is one reason why Colorado's insanity statute provides a mechanism for entering (an insanity plea) over the objections of a defendant in some circumstances."

Holmes is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder for opening fire inside an Aurora, Colorado, cinema in July during a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."

The shooting rampage killed 12 moviegoers and wounded 70 others. Prosecutors said they will seek the death penalty for the California native if he is convicted.

The judge overseeing the case at the time entered a standard not guilty plea for Holmes in March, but said public defenders could change that to not guilty by reason of insanity if they show sufficient cause.

Holmes' lawyers previously sought to have the state's insanity defense law declared unconstitutional, arguing that it could require Holmes to divulge information that could be used against him at trial and at sentencing if there is a conviction.

Such disclosures, they argued, violate his constitutional right against self-incrimination, but the judge rejected that argument as premature.

Prosecutors last week outlined the aggravating factors that make Holmes eligible for the death penalty, including lying in wait, killing a child under age 12, and committing murder in an "especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner."

Scientists pursue new therapies as deadly H7N9 flu spreads in China

An experimental drug has shown promise in treating influenza, preventing lung injury and death from the virus in preclinical studies, according to University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers publishing in the journal Nature on May 1. The scientists found that a drug called Eritoran can protect mice from death after they have been infected with a lethal dose of influenza virus. The potential value of this drug as single therapy or in combination with antivirals is further supported by previous research that found that it is safe for use in humans. The findings are of particular interest to scientists now that the latest deadly strain of flu, H7N9, is spreading in China 82 people in China had been infected with the new strain of flu virus as of April 26, and 17 had died.

Previous scientific studies have revealed that acute lung injury caused by the influenza virus is the result of an immune reaction mediated by a protein called Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). Senior author Stefanie Vogel, Ph.D., Professor of Microbiology and Immunology and Medicine at the University of Maryland, and colleagues previously demonstrated that mice that lack the ability to signal through TLR4 are highly refractory to influenza-induced lethality. In their new study, they extend these findings by showing that Eritoran a synthetic inhibitor of TLR4, originally developed by Eisai Inc. for treatment of sepsis improved clinical symptoms and prevented death when administered up to six days after infection with the influenza virus. Existing antiviral medications must be administered within two days of infection to be optimally effective.

Annual influenza epidemics are estimated to result in 3 million to 5 million cases of severe illness and 250,000 to 500,000 deaths yearly worldwide. The virus is continually evolving and new variants give rise to seasonal outbreaks. Increasing resistance to existing antiviral therapies and the short time-frame in which these agents are effective highlight the critical need for new treatments, such as Eritoran.

"Currently, vaccines and antiviral medications are the two main approaches to preventing influenza," says Dr. Vogel. "Problems associated vaccine development may limit efficacy and/or vaccine availability. In addition, people suffering from influenza may not go to the doctor or to the emergency room in time for the antivirals to be effective. Also, as the flu adapts to resist existing treatments, we are in search of new therapies to save lives and prevent severe illness. Our research seems to show that Eritoran could provide doctors with a new tool in their flu-fighting toolbox, as well as several more days to treat the sickest of patients successfully . More basic research is needed, but we are hopeful that this medication could one day change the way that we treat severe influenza and possibly other pathogens that cause disease by a similar mechanism."

How Democrats Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Super PAC

House Majority PAC knows how to stretch a dollar.

When I spent time with staff members earlier this week, their thriftiness was on full display. But these Democrats weren?t talking about the best way to save on advertising, a practice they perfected in 2012 by reserving their ad time sooner than their GOP opponents. No, on this rainy day in their Georgetown office, the staff of six was trying to decide whether to spend $800 to fix an Apple computer that one of them had accidentally doused with a bottle of water.

Pros for fixing it: The intern needs a computer, and it might be the cheapest option out there. Cons: What about that mysterious Mac Mini sitting in the other office?can?t an intern use that one?

In a sense, this is a start-up organization. It has only been three years since super PACs came into existence with the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, and Democrats were slow to embrace these PACs. And yet House Majority PAC, the one quibbling over 800 bucks, raised $35.6 million to elect Democrats to the House in 2012. In doing so, it helped bring the Republicans' outside-spending advantage down from 3-to-1 in the 2010 cycle to 1.5-to-1 in the 2012 cycle. Now the PAC is at it again.

While most of the country is looking forward to a year off from elections, House Majority PAC already has 10 Republican incumbents in its crosshairs for 2014, and it is neck-deep in the South Carolina special election that pits GOP?former Gov. Mark Sanford against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, a political newcomer who is nonetheless well-connected.

Just Tuesday, the group came out with a new ad in which a Republican woman says she can?t trust a man who ?skipped town to be with his mistress on Father?s Day.?

Once presenting something of an identity crisis?for the Left, the Democratic super PAC has become a largely accepted reality?one that House Majority PAC Executive Director Alixandria?Lapp says doesn?t seem to bother her fellow Democrats the way it once did.

?I think there?s no question now that we have a track record,? Lapp said. ?People now understand the value of what we do. One of the big messages I tell donors is that it?s our job to inform voters about the problems with the Republicans. If you want our Democrat to be able to be positive and to defend themselves, someone else has to be going negative on the Mike Coffmans or Gary Millers.? ?

And when she wants to convince skeptical donors of the efficacy of television ads, she?ll point to a commercial from tea-party superstar Allen West that aired last year against now-Rep. Patrick Murphy of Florida, a Democrat. Yes, she?ll point to the enemy?s playbook.

The ad opens with a satellite image of Texas dubbed over with the gruff intonation from a narrator:

?Fort Hood, Texas. Lt. Col. Allen West had just received deployment orders, and prepares his men to go to war. That night, South Beach, Miami. Patrick Murphy is thrown out of a club for fighting. Covered in alcohol and unable to stand. Murphy then confronts and verbally assaults a police officer. Patrick Murphy was arrested and taken to jail. Two men, a country in crisis?you decide."

After the ad ran, House Majority PAC commissioned a poll with an open-ended last question: ?What do you know about Patrick Murphy??

According to Lapp, nearly 50 percent of respondents mentioned the arrest. ?So when people ask if TV ads matter, I can point to that and say, yeah, they really matter,? Lapp said.

Fortunately for Murphy, he didn?t have to take the attack sitting down. He spent nearly $4.5 million on his campaign, to which House Majority PAC added $2.4 million. Their most effective ad accused West?who did not support stem-cell research?of turning his back on a Florida family whose child suffered from cerebral palsy. When Murphy won by less than 1 percentage point, he cited that ad as helping him move the dial.

When West lost, Democrats celebrated the defeat of a loudmouthed conservative. They had few qualms about having to rely on so much outside money. It?s partially why today members of House Majority PAC don?t seem all that torn about exploiting the system the same way their opponents do.

?What?s interesting is the dance we all do,? Andy Stone, the PAC's communications director, tells me after the staff meeting. ?We can?t coordinate on strategy with groups like [the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee], but we essentially coordinate in plain view.?

A good example, he said, was the Arizona special election to fill former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords?s seat. When House Majority PAC saw that the DCCC had reserved TV spots for weeks one, two, five, and six, it was a clear sign that it should fill the gaps.

?During the election cycle, we have someone look through independent expenditures each day,? Lapp continued. ?We see everything that our allies like D-trip who we can?t talk to are doing. The number of times we said, ?So and so did what in a House race?? was almost never.?

Inside this office, these Democrats don?t feel like it?s a foregone conclusion that Republicans will always hold the cash advantage. And here, unlimited contributions aren?t a dirty word.

When Stone and Lapp were asked whether in a perfect world they would overturn the Supreme Court?s decision on Citizens United, their responses were telling.

?Yeah, we?re not going to answer that.?

?No, we?re not.?
