http://mmajunkie.com Bellator Fighting Championships bills itself as the place "Where championships are earned, not given."
Following a highly controversial split-decision loss to fellow season-four welterweight tournament finalist Jay Hieron, former Olympic judoka Rick Hawn might disagree.
The Hieron vs. Hawn bout served as the featured contest of Saturday's Bellator 43 event, which took place at the First Council Casino Hotel in Newkirk, Okla., and aired on MTV2.
The opening round saw Hieron stalking and working his strikes from the outside. Hawn was willing to stand and trade, but he had more difficulty finding range with his efforts. Hawn did land on occasion, but Hieron appeared to possess the more effective strikes en route to claiming the round.
Hawn pushed forward with powerful punches in the second frame. Hieron again kept the fight in his range as often as possible, but Hawn started to find the mark more frequently. An early knockdown looked more like a slip than anything, but Hawn was certainly scoring with clean blows. Hieron netted a late takedown to make the scoring interesting, but Hawn popped right back to his feet.
In the final frame, Hieron's face showed the wear of the mounting strikes. Hawn continued to push forward while Hieron looked to keep his distance and retreat and counter. Hawn varied the striking attack as he looked to close out his opponent, but Hieron refused to quit. The action was tight once again, but Hawn appeared to have his best frame in the final five minutes.
In the end, it looked as if Hawn's forward movement may have done enough to take the fight, but only one judge agreed, giving him the fight 29-28. The remaining two gave the fight to Hieron, 29-28, and "The Thoroughbred" walked away with a razor-thin split-decision victory.
With the win, Hieron (22-4 MMA, 3-0 BFC) books a future date with Bellator welterweight champion Ben Askren. Meanwhile, Hawn (11-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC) loses for the first time as a professional, though he continues to impress and improve in each outing.
Baker drops "Diesel"
As the fight opened, both fighters felt each other out on the feet. Baker had the most damaging strike in the early going with an illegal shot to the cup, but Riggs quickly recovered. On the restart, it was a pair of Baker flying knees that secured him the round, but he was unable to follow up on the powerful strikes.
In the second, Baker relied on his heavy hands to do the damage, and he found range with the shots. Pushing into the clinch, Baker drove a knee into Riggs body that appeared to land a bit, low, but referee Jason Herzog did not assess any sort of stoppage. Baker kept pushing, and he landed a crisp hook to the chin. Riggs buckled and hit the deck.
With Baker prepared to pounce with additional damage, the fight was waved off at the 3:53 mark of the frame.
A former tournament finalist, Baker (15-2 MMA, 5-1 BFC) is now 9-1 in his past 10 outings. Riggs (34-13 MMA, 0-1 BFC) has now been stopped in two-straight fights and is just 2-3 in his past five fights.
Beebe earns tourney spot with first-round submission
In a bantamweight affair, former WEC champion Chase Beebe made quick work of Jose Vega with an opening-round guillotine choke.
It was Vega who initiated the grappling early on by working into a clinch, but Beebe immediately began to work for a guillotine. Vega briefly took his back in an ensuing scramble, but Beebe quickly worked himself free and reset on the feet.
Vega found some success in the striking department, but Beebe looked over and over again fror a guillotine choke to end the fight. It finally came with a minute left in the round. After locking in the hold, Beebe dropped to his back and squeezed tight, forcing the tap with 54 seconds left in the first round.
With the win, Beebe (18-7 MMA, 1-0 BFC) earned his fourth-consecutive win and guaranteed himself a slot in Bellator's upcoming season-five 135-pound tournament. Meanwhile, Vega (9-5 MMA, 2-2 BFC) has dropped two-straight fights.
Sparks taps Lucero in first
In the night's card-opening heavyweight affair, knockout artist Ron Sparks showed some well-rounded abilities with a first-round submission finish of Vince Lucero.
After firing off a few heavy punches to open, Sparks pushed into the clinch and landed a few knees to the gut. When a low kick but Lucero on his back, Sparks capitalized on the opportunity.
"The Monster" dove immediately into side control and attacked the arm with a keylock. The finish took some effort, but Sparks finally earned the tap at the 2:18 mark of the first frame.
With the first submission win of his career, Sparks (7-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) keeps his professional mark unblemished and wins for the second time under the Bellator banner. Meanwhile, Lucero (19-20-1 MMA, 0-1 BFC) is now winless in his past eight outings, netting only a draw along with seven losses.

"October's bright blue weather" suffused Jeanette Hooban's, Janet Black's and my recent Chincoteague (Virginia) sojourn, start-to-finish.
Our first evening stroll on unpopulated Assateague, barrier island protecting Chincoteague from the mighty ocean, brought sunset-tinged seafoam and a beach upon which every footprint was a bare one!
In case you think, "Well, what else is new," be aware of the season of our visit:
A REAL bookstore, set for All Hallow's Eve
Of course, most people go to Chincoteague for the ponies. We dutifully admired them, from the water on a sunset small shallow boat tour, and from the land on a morning bus tour.
Ponies at Sundown with SUPERB Cap'n. Dan — his tour worth our entire trip!
Pony-life: Forever Feeding: Ponies by land, Aassateague Nature Center Bus Tour
At nearly October-end, we were in the ocean, happily, eagerly, lengthily — especially Jeanette, who swam, swam, swam as wavelets turned pink around her. It was a mite cooler on the finer day, so beachcombing took over:
Contentment Personified: Janet Black at Beach
We're all avid readers. We'd rented (and I'd actually bargained for them!) these sturdy chairs so we could read by the sea. But we could barely lower our eyes to any page, given the sun's many-colored-dreamcoat and those effects altering each wave.
Jeanette and Irresistible Sunset(s) – on Bridge from Assateague back to Chincoteague
We, of course, were there for the birds — Egrets of Eden
Mornings were amazing — a series of early views:
First View of Each Day from my room at Assateague Inn, on Chincoteague
Dawn Picnic Site, Creek and Marsh, Assateague Inn
Essence of These Islands – Crab Shell of Dawn
Essence of Autumn in the Salt Marsh – Salicornia Ripening
Assateague Light House Outbuilding at Dawn
Autumn's Calligraphy at Assateague Light
October's Bright Blue Weather Sets Off Assateague Light
Dawn Light in a Loblolly Forest
"Not in Kansas Any More…" Lighthouse–Keeper Dwelling
Barrier Island Realities
Sunset Feeders, Assateague
Cap'n. Dan's Magical Mystery Tour at Sundown — Worth the Entire Trip
Best tour – Cap'n. Dan's Sunset Cruise from Chincoteague Harbor
Best food – Bill's Prime — three meals a day — one time we ate breakfast then dinner there — traditional and rare seafood, and remarkably personable service
Charm of Assateague Inn — quiet, on creek, with picnic table, silence, early light, little boardwalk, near Assateague Island, on quiet side of Chincoteague
Most famous food: Chincoteague oysters
Most people's reason for being here: wild ponies, and Marguerite Henry's "Misty of Chincoteague" and sequels
Favorite tour experience — Chincoteague Museum – this will appear in an entire blog to itself
Rarest animal: plump and saucy Delmarva Squirrel – one welcomed us in Assateague Light forest — but we are bedeviled enough by Princeton and Lawrenceville squirrels not to have appreciated its rarity until after the Nature Center bus tour.

'50s-Style Fast Food Burgers Still Going Strong at Zesto in Atlanta
Burger reviews in the Atlanta area.
544 Ponce de Leon Avenue, Atlanta GA 30308 (map); 404-607-1118; five other locations listed at zestoatlanta.com
Cooking Method: Flat top
Short Order: '50s-era fast-food holdout maintains a retro presence in town with a throwback alternative to the Clown, the King, and the Pigtailed Girl
Want Fries with That? Stick to the crinkle-cuts...and eat them quickly
Price: Bacon Cheeseburger, $4.25; Chubby Decker, $4.20; fries, $1.65/$1.95; onion rings, $2.40/$3.25; tater tots, $2/$2.30
Every place has them, those family-owned fast-food operations that clearly drip with history. Maybe it's always been a one-off mom-and-pop competing with the big boys or perhaps it's one of the last holdouts of a once-proud chain that's now long gone. Either way, they manage to stick it out and become a part of the local food landscape, for better or worse, and evolve into an institution all their own. Now, the food doesn't always live up to the legend (perhaps even rarely so), but most who've grown up with it give it something of a pass based on sheer nostalgia and an admiration for sticking it to the corporate giants just by hanging on through the years.
In Atlanta, that place is Zesto.
They come by that old-school look honestly, and not in that nouveau-ironic, let's-build-a-retro-diner way. Zesto started in 1945 as a subsidiary of an Illinois company that manufactured soft serve Zest-O-Mat ice cream machines. By 1949, Zesto had locations in 46 states, competing valiantly with Dairy Queen as an ice cream-only destination. But by 1955, the parent company had abandoned the concept and left its franchisees to figure it out for themselves. One, John Livaditis, who was running a handful of Atlanta outlets, decided to start slinging burgers to help boost sales. More food items were added gradually (hot dogs, fried chicken, fries) and now you can even get wings, gyros, tacos, and more. Today, the Livaditis family still runs the six Zestos in the Atlanta area. And while there are Zesto restaurants in other states (Nebraska, Washington, Indiana, Alabama, South Dakota, and Tennessee their website mentions), the Atlanta stores operate in their own little retro bubble.
Inside, it's all chrome and red vinyl and neon, and in fact, very little seems to have changed much since Zesto's heyday. The food is cooked to order, with a wait time slightly longer than what we now consider "fast food." And it's presented in no-frills fashion: paper plates and wax paper; get your own damn ketchup out of one of the squeeze bottles being passed around the seating area.
Once you have your food, you're immediately reminded that this is still, however, a fast food burger. The Bacon Cheeseburger ($4.25) I got was kinda sorta flattened out and not all that picturesque after its short wait in its tightly wound wrapper. One rogue strip of bacon was even making a break for it.
The rest of the bacon, though, looked way too nuked to be much of a flight risk. While I couldn't see how it was prepared, this had all the earmarks of that flat, monotonous industrial stuff that's zapped and strewn across a commercial patty at any number of mascot-driven outlets. There was a decent pile of it here, and I hoped that the quantity alone would counteract the lifeless-looking meat disc next to it.
Overall, it wasn't bad. It's not winning any Best-Of contests or anything, but it was clearly a burger that was "prepared" rather than "assembled." Tucking in, I knew I'd pick this burger every time over one from the McDonald's less than fifty yards away. Maybe that's not saying much, but I'm not sure Zesto's goal was ever much more than that.
Zesto's flagship sandwich draws the inevitable comparison to Mickey D's, too. The Chubby Decker ($4.20) is a two-patty affair with a familiar middle bun, pickles, onions, lettuce, cheese, and...yeah. Interestingly, though, it was added to the Zesto menu in 1959, a full eight years before the Big Mac was born. Originally called the Fat Boy, it underwent a name change in '61 when Big Boy threatened a lawsuit over similarities to their double-decker, and a Georgia Tech student suggested an homage to the singer of "The Twist." (And strangely, some of the store literature still refers to their top-selling burger by a name that was changed during JFK's administration.)
Ah, but here's something you'll likely never see over at the Golden Arches. That's a hint of pink inside those patties, evidence that someone's actually working a grill back in the kitchen, and therefore making Zesto burgers more akin to what you'd find at Steak n' Shake or I-N-O (relax, commenters, I didn't say they were anywhere near the same; just distantly related with a vaguely parallel backstory) than McDonald's or Burger King. And hey, at basically the same price point, too.
But what is it with shredded lettuce? Good God Almighty, it's the most worthless thing ever put on a burger. First off, there's always waaay too much. But maybe that's because 96 percent of it is just going to turn into plate-littering shrapnel anyway. Unless you're a diehard Big Mac fanatic, though, the Chubby Decker probably wins a blind taste-test because it was cooked for you instead of just put together.
The fries at Zesto ($1.65/$1.95) are crinkle cuts, and pretty darn tasty, at least when hot out of the fryer. They're salted nicely and served in a generous side portion. Frozen? Of course. But that doesn't make them inherently bad.
The same cannot be said of the onion rings ($2.40/$3.25) or tater tots ($2/$2.30). Bland and uninspired, neither was seasoned or even salted at all. I'm not averse to picking up a shaker if I need an extra hit, but it shouldn't be required to make it palatable. They're clearly hitting the crinkle-cuts with it back there, so how about sharing the sodium love?
Soft serve is still a big deal at Zesto, with simple cones that have delightful throwback names like the Brown Crown (a chocolate-dipped classic that you know would be called something like The Extreme Choco-Blaster if it were invented today). It's worth pointing out (as Zesto loves to) that they use genuine ice cream and not ice milk, and it's a nice capper to your trip down Nostalgia Lane.
A small fish like Zesto gets lost in the shuffle of the multinational fast food purveyors. Even in Atlanta, when most folks want cheap eats from a '50s-style diner slinging old-fashioned burgers and dogs, the place that comes to mind is The Varsity. Zesto doesn't have anywhere near that kind of iconic status, but there is something satisfyingly simple about the way they're still doing things after all these years.

Grandkids inspire ironman worker to reach 2,000th consecutive day on job
Howard Todd jumps between Grand Brew coffee shop, DiFiore's ice cream in Mount Washington
The iron man of Pittsburgh is celebrating his 2,000th straight day of work on Thursday.
On a muggy May morning, with temperatures expected to reach the 80s, Howard Todd started his day with the coffee crew at Grand Brew Cafe on Shiloh Street in Mount Washington. Later, he'll move next door to serve up the cool treats at DiFiore's Ice Cream Delite.
Todd hasn't taken a day off in years -- not a holiday or a weekend -- and he typically works a longer-than-average shift of 12 hours as he runs between his two shops.
"It's what I was born to do -- work. It's what I've always been good at -- working," Todd said. "I think it's a big thing when you come up poor, you're hungry. I still have that same hunger like I had when I was 10 years old."
Not even an operation could end the streak.
"I worked through a hernia surgery a couple of years ago," he said. "That got a little bit tough, but I made it through it."
Three grandchildren provide the inspiration that fuels the Elliott native's extreme work ethic.
"That's the message I'm trying to get across, so that later on in life when they read these articles, they know about their pap," he said. "They're going to know that, hey, no excuses. You're going to walk tall and do it."
Todd was recognized with a proclamation at the City-County Building on Wednesday, and he will be honored by Mayor Luke Ravenstahl on Thursday.
"The guy is a role model for everyone here in Mount Washington, the city of Pittsburgh and America in general," said a customer, Dr. Tom Bonacorsi.
Working with his wife, Patricia, Todd serves not only regulars but mostly out-of-towners who visit the Mount for its spectacular views of the downtown skyline.
May 16 will be his next day off, ending the streak at 2,012 consecutive work days in the year 2012. Todd said he will spend the day with his grandchildren and go to Myrtle Beach, S.C., with the family.
He's 48, but says he feels 25.
"I don't know what I'll do after this," Todd said. "Maybe I'll climb Mount Everest. Maybe I'm going to jump out of a plane. I don't know. Maybe I'm going to bungee jump. There's a lot of crazy things like that in my mind. Maybe I might go through Marine boot camp."

Senator: If Obama lifts debt ceiling, lawmakers can sue
- Thune discussed national debt%2C spending and tax reform at town hall
- Senator defended vote on maintaining tax rates for those making %24400%2C000
- Congress faces vote in next six weeks to lift debt ceiling beyond %2416.3 trillion
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Republicans in Congress could take President Barack Obama to court if the president decides to lift the nation's debt limit without congressional approval, Sen. John Thune said Wednesday.
Thune said the president doesn't have the constitutional authority to lift the debt ceiling, even though Democrats in Congress are encouraging the president to try.
A divided Congress faces another nasty showdown in the next six weeks to lift the debt ceiling beyond $16.3 trillion. The president this week framed the debate as Congress needing to pay the debts it's incurred. But Thune said the debate also should include spending cuts to address the reasons why the nation has the debt, and he said past spending reforms have been tied to the debt ceiling.
"I don't know when it happens, but this thing is going to blow up on us if we don't do something," Thune said of the debt.
Thune made his comments at a town hall meeting Wednesday that focused on the national debt, spending and tax reform.
The only way to address the national debt in a substantial way is to make reforms to entitlement programs, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Thune said. Solutions to Medicare include phasing in age adjustments so that younger people wouldn't be eligible to join the program until later in age, and to require wealthier Medicare recipients pay into the systems in order to get benefits.
The senator defended his New Year's Eve vote on a package that left taxes on income rates in place for all but those making $400,000 or more a year, or couples making $450,000. The measure also locked into place exemptions on estate taxes, which Thune said was important for farmers and ranchers who worried a large estate tax meant the loss of the family farm.
Conservatives, however, criticized the package because it didn't include spending cuts to government programs. When asked why he voted for the measure, Thune said he did it to keep taxes low for 99 percent of Americans.
"There's been a lot of criticism, and I understand that," Thune said. "There are things in there I absolutely hated."
Several people at the town hall expressed frustrations about Republicans in Congress being unable to get their messages out and to effectively block the Obama administration and Senate Democrats.
"I'm concerned for our country, and I just feel like we're losing it every day," said Jim Holiway of Sioux Falls. Holiway asked Thune what actions he would take to prevent the federal government from becoming more centralized.
Later, following the town hall, Holiway said he wished Republican elected officials would make speeches and take to the airwaves the way Democrats did when they were in the minority.
"When they were in the minority, they would holler to high heaven," Holiway said.
Politicians have become more reluctant to hold town halls for fear angry voters will confront them and the exchanges will be used in campaign commercials. Thune is the only member of the South Dakota delegation who consistently holds town halls.
At least one Democrat, former state lawmaker Darrell Solberg, asked Thune to clarify whether Medicare and Social Security were separate funds and their relations to the national debt.
Democrat Tom Cool said Republican presidents Reagan and Bush tripled the national debt, but Republicans didn't worry about it then. Cool said the debt won't be brought under control by Republicans in the House refusing to extend the debt ceiling.
"I don't know how elephants can have such poor memories," Cool said.

In fact, your Jalopnik staff was talking to one another in real life here in Detroit when we started rattling off the most outlandish Corvette predictions we could think of on Twitter. And then you all chimed in with some amazingly bad (and hilarious) predictions of your own as the #CorvettePredictions hashtag spread like wildfire.
We've been showing off tidbits of the C7 'Vette for months now, but what if everything we've seen is totally wrong? Maybe it will be a mid-engined straight eight with KERS as one of you suggested, or that it will be fueled by leopard tears, as our own Travis Okulski seems to think.
So here are some of all the best Corvette predictions, from us and from all of you. Keep them coming on Twitter with that sexy #CorvettePredictions hashtag.

It's getting to be back to school time here, and like many children most of my sons will say that their favorite time in school is recess. They love those precious few moments of being active and running around their playground. After school they run off of the bus and can't wait to get outside and play on our playset. We are lucky enough to have one in our backyard.
But many children do not. They depend on the use of public parks and playgrounds. And when there are budget cuts, that in these tough economic times are inevitable, often playgrounds and sports programs are among the first things cut.
So I am happy to spread the word about the Sprite Spark Parks Project; Sprite's multi-year commitment to bringing a "spark" to active spaces across the country. This year Sprite will have spent almost two million dollars to construct and refurbish and refresh more than 150 neighborhood parks, athletic fields and playgrounds.

After plastic surgery and months of concealment, maniacal Stewart will be hard to track. Agent McAllister knows that if he is going to beat Stewart at his own game, he too will have to completely disguise himself. Once his own transformation is complete, the agent emerges with the brand new identity of Leo Devlin, a hard-core criminal who becomes a part of Stewart's underground operation of narcotics, prostitution, and human trafficking.In Victoria Williams-Fisher's second novel, her readers will follow McAllister to San Francisco on a manhunt to capture California's most-wanted criminal-the same cold-blooded killer who has held a grudge against the agent's wife Morgan and her family for years and now has a vendetta with McAllister himself. While Rob is undercover, his new wife struggles with his absence in her life. Surrounded by security guards, Morgan creates a major scandal by turning to one of them for comfort while her husband is away. Lives are ripped apart and friendships are broken when she betrays her husband.Will Agent McAllister survive the assignment and return to his family? If he does, will his wife and son be waiting at home for him? Or will they have given up on him and left for good?

John Galgano believes it's time you give it up and join forces with strangers or co-workers headed in the same direction; the trip won't take any longer, and you'll breathe easier once you get there.
Galgano is the president of CommuterLink, a non-profit alternative transportation organization that encourages the use of car and vanpools and mass transit.
CommuterLink does not have a fleet of its own, but provides ride-matching services and mass transit itineraries to eco-friendly commuters in New York City.
And as it turns out, the commuters most interested in saving on gas live in Queens and Brooklyn - a majority of the group's 20,000 car and vanpool members and 15,000 mass transit members hail from Kings and Queens counties.
"Brooklyn and Queens are by far our best counties" in the outer boroughs, Galgano said, followed by the Bronx and Staten Island. (CommuterLink's services are in less demand in transit-rich Manhattan.)
The company, which is funded through city, state and federal subsidies, has grown steadily since Galgano launched it in 1996. That first year, just 20 to 30 new members signed up each month.
At the time, "people were more interested in the financial advantages," Galgano said. "They weren't so much concerned about sustainability and the green factor."
Some 15 years later, times have changed. Today, a growing number of commuters in neighborhoods from Park Slope to Long Island City are thinking of Mother Earth first, and their pocketbooks second. CommuterLink adds roughly 350 users each month.
The service is simple: CommuterLink matches members who live and work near one another with an interpedently contracted car or vanpool service, which provides rides to work.
Prefer mass transit? CommuterLink provides detailed, personalized trip itineraries that Galgano said put websites like HopStop.com to shame.
"Our goal is to reduce congestion on the road and improve air quality," he said. "Traffic is not getting any better. Gas isn't getting any cheaper. I would think that our services will continue to grow." (Daniel Bush)

Anne Trafton, MIT News Office
A major risk factor for colon cancer — the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States — is chronic inflammation of the colon. Nearly 10 percent of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) eventually develop colon cancer.
A new study from MIT demonstrates that this cancer arises from a specific type of DNA damage produced during inflammation. The researchers, led by Leona Samson, professor of biological engineering and biology, showed that mice that cannot repair this type of DNA damage are susceptible to colon cancer.
The team also identified three enzymes critical to repairing this damage. Previous studies have shown that humans produce widely varying amounts of one of the enzymes, so the findings offer a possible explanation for why some IBD patients are more likely to develop colon cancer, Samson says. Measuring these enzyme levels in a particular patient could help predict that patient's risk of colon cancer.
"All other things being equal, if the same inflammatory response is present in the colon of different individuals, but they have differences in DNA-repair capability, they're probably going to respond differently," says Samson, who also a member of MIT's Center for Environmental Health Sciences.
Jennifer Calvo, a research scientist in Samson's lab, and Lisiane Meira, a former MIT scientist now at the University of Surrey, are lead authors of a paper on the new work appearing in the June 11 online edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Repair failure
During the chronic inflammation seen in conditions such as IBD (which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), immune cells release highly destructive chemicals known as reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. These chemicals are meant to kill bacteria and other invading pathogens, but if the chemicals linger too long, they can damage DNA and other molecules in healthy cells.
Four years ago, Samson's lab showed that these reactive molecules produce a specific type of DNA damage that leads to colon cancer in mice. In that study, the researchers found that a DNA repair enzyme called AAG was necessary to repair this type of damage, known as etheno-base lesions. Mice lacking the AAG enzyme were much more susceptible to inflammation-induced colon cancer.
In the new study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, Samson and her colleagues looked at the effects of two additional DNA-repair enzymes. These enzymes, known as ALKBH2 and ALKBH3, were previously shown to be involved in repairing etheno-base lesions.
To induce colon inflammation in mice, researchers treat them with a chemical called dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), which destroys the mucosal lining of the intestines, allowing bacteria to reach the epithelial cells and provoke an inflammatory response. Following such inflammation, mice missing both ALKBH2 and ALKBH3 were much more susceptible to colon cancer than normal mice; the results were even more dire among mice missing all three DNA repair enzymes.
After analyzing tissue samples, the researchers discovered that all of the mice had initially experienced similar extensive colon damage, but mice with at least one of the three DNA repair enzymes were able to repair most or all of the tissue damage. Mice lacking all three enzymes couldn't perform any tissue repair whatsoever.
Achieving DNA repair is especially critical in stem cells required to regenerate tissue. "Whatever cells are required for this tissue reconstruction are presumably being killed off because they can't repair the DNA damage induced during inflammation," Samson says.
The exact nature of the interactions between the three enzymes is unknown, but Samson speculates that AAG may first bind to the DNA lesions and then recruit ALKBH2 and ALKBH3 to help repair them.
Steven Lipkin, an associate professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, says the research "elegantly demonstrates" that distinct DNA-repair pathways are involved in repairing DNA damage caused by inflammation in the colon.
"This study gives insights that will help us to understand the precise mechanisms that cause inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer, and will open the door to discovering better targeted chemopreventative agents," says Lipkin, who was not involved in this study.
The MIT team is now looking into how varying levels of the AAG enzyme affect overall health, and is also planning to study how all three of these DNA-repair enzymes respond to inflammation induced by Helicobacter pylori infection, which can lead to stomach cancer.

While constantly killing the same enemies for reputation, I noticed that an unlooted corpse remained in an area where I thought that I killed all of the enemies at the same time. It makes me wonder if that corpse remained there because it still had loot on it, or if I forgot to loot more than one of the corpses and some of the unlooted corpses disappeared.
About how long do corpses remain on the ground? Is it random (and if so, is there a minimum time)? Does leaving the corpses unlooted increase the amount of time that they can remain lying around?

Mexican Fruit Salad
For some reason I am always taken by surprise by holidays. They seem to just creep up on me, so when I realized that Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow, I kind of had to put my foot on the gas for this post. There are actually a couple of Mexican recipes that I'd like to share and I might just get around to it, but I just had to post this one. When my daughter was a little girl this was her favorite after school snack, so it is a kid pleaser too. It is simple, refreshing and basically perfect for a celebration meal with a Mexican flair.
6 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 big juicy lime)
3/4 teaspoon chili powder (mild or hot depending on your taste)
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
4 cups of assorted fresh fruit, cut into bite size pieces (I love pineapple, watermelon, orange, strawberries, cantaloupe and cucumber)
Place lime juice, chili powder, salt and cilantro in a small container with a tight fitting lid. Place fruit in a large bowl. Pour juice over fruit and toss well. Serve immediately. Feel free to sprinkle a little extra chili powder over the top for garnish if you like.
Since I featured one of my daughter's favorites, I thought I'd add one for my husband. He could eat his weight in this salsa.
Shrimp Salsa
1 tablespoon oil
8 ounces fresh shrimp, peeled, deveined and chopped
1/2 medium red, orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
1 large jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 avocado, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 large garlic clove, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Juice of two limes (approximately 1/4 cup)
Splash of water (approximately 1 ounce)
Salt and pepper to taste
Place oil into a medium size frying pan over medium high heat. Add chopped shrimp to the oil once it is hot. Sauté for approximately 2 minutes or until it is just opaque. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Place the remaining ingredients into a medium size bowl and toss. Once the shrimp is cooled, add it to the bowl and toss. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until chilled through.
Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
Makes approximately 2 cups.

Polish security researcher Michal Zalewski, known for his seemingly unending stream of browser vulnerability discoveries, has struck again. This time he's reported four flaws that are sure to get the attention of bug squashers in both Microsoft and Mozilla camps.
The most serious vulnerability could make it possible for cyber crooks to steal sign-on cookies from online banks and other trusted sites and possibly execute attack code on a victim's machine. Zalewski's findings, which included a total of four vulnerabilities - for good measure, two for IE and two for Firefox - were reported earlier today on the Full Disclosure mailing list.
"In other words, the entire security model of the browser collapses like a house of cards and renders you vulnerable to a plethora of nasty attacks," Zalewski wrote on a page that demonstrates the vulnerability. "Local system compromise is not out of question, either."
A second IE flaw affects version 6 and allows for the mimicking of an arbitrary website, possibly including those delivering content over a protected SSL channel. The vulnerability, which Zalewski rated "medium," doesn't affect IE 7 because of high-level changes built into the browser.
A Microsoft spokesman says the company's security researchers are investigating the two reported flaws.
Proving to be an equal-opportunity identifier of security flaws, Zalewski also reported two vulnerabilities in Firefox. One of them, which the researcher rated "major," takes advantage of the way the open-source browser handles iframes to potentially allow an attacker to monitor a user's keystrokes or spoof content on a page the user is viewing. Somewhat mitigating any exploit, the vulnerability involves what's known as the document.write method to allow a third-party site to replace iframes on unrelated pages. That means direct interaction with the rest of an attacked site isn't possible.
The second Firefox vulnerability resides in the delay timers implemented during some confirmation dialogs. By initiating a sequence of blur/focus operations, an attacker could cause a victim to download and execute code. Zalewski rated the flaw "medium".
He has made a regular habit of sniffing out vulnerabilities in a wide range of applications (besides Firefox and IE, he's also poked holes in Sendmail) and that run on a variety of platforms, including Windows and Unix. His research underscores what should be a growing realization among security experts that nearly every piece of code can be misused and abused by a determined attacker. ®

Agilent Technologies announced that it will collaborate with the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands to research large-signal and sub-mm-wave characterization techniques.
"Agilent has been one of our biggest and most reliable supporters for the past two decades," said Leo de Vreede, associate professor in the research school of the Delft Institute for Microsystems and Nanoelectronics (DIMES). "We share a common view on application-driven RF characterization tools and use Agilent's software tools and instrumentation extensively in our education and research programs."
With this new collaboration, enabled by the emerging SmartMix/MEMPHIS project, there has been a tremendous acceleration in research activities and capabilities at DIMES. This is evidenced by the creation of two complementary characterization facilities: the RF and the sub-mm-wave DIMES characterization laboratories. These new facilities will enable DIMES to continue to lead technological advancement of devices, components and circuits into the sub-mm-wave frequency range.
"Delft University's leadership in RF characterization techniques for high-performance RF and wireless applications has already received international recognition," said Roger Stancliff, chief technical officer, Components Test Division, Agilent Technologies. "DIMES's expertise enriches our work and we are able to give aspiring young scientists the opportunity to work with the latest equipment in RF/microwave from Agilent."

Cough Caused by a Virus
Most coughs are caused by viral infections and usually soon go. This leaflet gives some tips on what to do and which symptoms to look out for that may indicate a more serious illness. Viral infections commonly affect the throat (larynx), or the main airway (trachea), or the airways going into the lungs (bronchi). These infections are sometimes called laryngitis, tracheitis, or bronchitis. Cough is often the main symptom.
What are the symptoms of cough caused by a virus?
The cough typically develops over a day or so and may become quite irritating. Other symptoms may develop and include high temperature (fever), headache, aches and pains. Cold symptoms may occur if the infection also affects the nose. Symptoms typically peak after 2-3 days, and then gradually clear. However, the cough may persist for up to four weeks after the infection has gone. This is because the inflammation in the airways, caused by the infection, can take a while to clear.

What is the treatment?
There is no 'quick fix' for a cough due to a viral infection. You need to be patient until the cough goes. A main aim of treatment is to ease symptoms whilst your immune system clears the infection. The most useful treatments are:
- Taking paracetamol, ibuprofen, or aspirin to reduce high temperature (fever), and to ease any aches, pains and headaches. (Children aged under 16 should not take aspirin.)
- Having lots to drink if you have a fever, to prevent mild lack of fluid in the body (dehydration).
- Stopping smoking. If you smoke, you should try to stop for good. A cough and serious lung diseases are more common in smokers.
What about cold and cough remedies?
You can buy many other cold and cough remedies at pharmacies. There is little evidence of any impact on the infection but they may be useful for certain symptoms. For example, a decongestant nasal spray may help to clear a blocked nose.
But remember, cold and cough remedies often contain several ingredients. Some may make you drowsy. This may be welcome at bedtime if you have difficulty sleeping with a cough. However, do not drive if you are drowsy. Some contain paracetamol, so be careful not to take more than the maximum safe dose of paracetamol if you are already taking paracetamol tablets.
In March 2009 an important statement was issued by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) which says:
"The new advice is that parents and carers should no longer use over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold medicines in children under 6. There is no evidence that they work and they can cause side effects, such as allergic reactions, effects on sleep or hallucinations.
For 6 to 12 year olds these medicines will continue to be available but will only be sold in pharmacies, with clearer advice on the packaging and from the pharmacist. This is because the risk of side effects is reduced in older children because they weigh more, get fewer colds and can say if the medicine is doing any good. More research is being done by industry on how well these medicines work in children aged 6-12 years."
Note: paracetamol and ibuprofen are not classed as cough and cold medicines and can still be given to children.
What about antibiotic medicines?
Antibiotics are not usually advised. Antibiotics do not kill viruses - they only kill germs called bacteria. Antibiotics do not usually ease a cough caused by a virus. They may even make symptoms worse, as they sometimes cause side-effects such as loose or watery stools (diarrhoea), feeling sick, and rashes.
Antibiotics may be prescribed if you already have an ongoing (chronic) lung disease. This is to prevent a 'secondary' bacterial infection rather than to clear a viral infection. Antibiotics may also be prescribed if a complication develops such as secondary bacterial pneumonia - but this is unlikely to occur if you are otherwise healthy.
What symptoms should I look out for?
Most viral coughs clear without complications. However, sometimes a 'secondary' infection with germs (bacteria) develops in addition to the viral infection. This may become serious and cause pneumonia. Also, other causes of cough (such as asthma) are sometimes confused with a viral infection. So, see a doctor if any of the following occur.
- If symptoms such as high temperature (fever), chest pains, or headaches become worse or severe.
- If you develop breathing difficulties such as wheezing or shortness of breath.
- If you cough up blood. Blood may be bright red but dark or rusty-coloured sputum may indicate blood.
- If you become drowsy or confused.
- If you develop any symptoms which you are unhappy about, or do not understand.
- If you have a cough that persists for longer than 3-4 weeks.

Another framework? But why?
After receiving a lot of positive feedback and requests for source code for my previous post on Prism navigation i decided to release the code i had as open source project.
This is how Prism Navigation Framework project was born.
My intention was to create simple-to-use but powerful-and-feature-full Navigation Framework for building Silverlight MVVM applications with Prism.
This is the first introductory post (from series of planned similar posts) that will try to explain what this Navigation Framework for Prism can do to make your life as developer easier.
If you are too anxious to read the whole article you can just open the Sample Silverlight Navigation Application Application (for the Beta 1 version of the Framework) and try out some of the features and then read on if you find it to be interesting (in the demo you can see loading Views and their ViewModels to Prism Regions, visual transitions when loading Views, Browser URL and History integration – deep linking, deferred module loading, passing parameters to views etc).
If you are interested in the source of the Prism Navigation Framework and the Sample Application shown here you can download it on the Downloads section on the project site.
Note: Its important to say here that in this post I will not try to explain in detail how Microsoft Patterns and Practices Team Prism works – you must already be familiar with it, and if you never used it to develop Silverlight or WPF MVVM applications, i recommend you to try it out, also make sure to check Prism excellent documentation if you need to refresh your memory.
Basic Concepts
Since Prism Navigation Framework is based on the Prism guidance, naturally it is leaning on and reusing all of Prism main concepts:
- Modules – packages of application functionality (packaged as .dll or .xap) – they can be loaded immediately on application start or on demand (so called deferred module loading) – this framework completely supports loading of modules implicitly or explicitly.
- Views and their ViewModels that are packaged in those Modules (each View has its ViewModel set as value of its DataContext property) – this framework allows you to register Views and their ViewModels and then easily load them in many ways, initialize them with parameters etc.
- Regions - are actually Controls that are used as placeholders on the Views where you can load content – other Views of the application – this framework supports Regions and extends them in practical way – read more below.
One Region To Rule Them All
If you ever built Prism applications you know that by convention each Prism application has one Main View – called the 'ShellView'.
Shell View is created on the application start and loaded to represent the main screen of the application.
This main View has multiple Regions – this is where you can load your Views.
Prism Navigation Framework takes Prism's concept of Regions a little further and defines two types of regions:
- Single Main Region – there is only one Main Region in the Application and its usually large region in the center of the Shell View. This Region is meant to be placeholder where we will load other Views – Pages of the Application with the main content. Only one View can be shown in Main Region at one time. This region is represented by dropping instance of PrismNavigationMainFrame control in your ShellView and setting its RegionName.
- Multiple Secondary Regions – represented by PrismNavigationSecondaryFrame control – you can place as many of them as you like in the Shell View and load any of application Views into any of those Secondary Regions – Secondary Region can (unlike the Main Region) show multiple Views at the same time (widgets, control etc).
Here is how you would add the single Main Region to your Shell View:
<Controls:PrismNavigationMainFrame cal:RegionManager.RegionName="MainRegion" />
And here is how you can add multiple Secondary Regions:
<Controls:PrismNavigationSecondaryFrame cal:RegionManager.RegionName="WidgetsRegion" /> <Controls:PrismNavigationSecondaryFrame cal:RegionManager.RegionName="OpenedDocumentsRegion" />
Loading Views
We have seen how we can define Main and Secondary Regions so lets see what are our options for loading our Views into those Regions:
- First and most useful way to load View into Main region is by typing meaningful URLs in the Browser. Our Framework supports convention over configuration so some defaults work out of the box, for example if you have View control called DetailsView in Module called ProductsModule, then to load this DetailsView into the Main Region of the application just point your browser to this URL: http://yourapplication.com/index.html#/Products/Details/ (Off course you can pass parameters through the url like this: http://yourapplication.com/index.html#/Products/Details/ProductId/1234 or http://yourapplication.com/index.html#/Products/Details/)
- you can also use standard Silverlight HyperlinkButton control and its NavigateUri property to specify URL of the View you want to load (for example "/Products/Details/Id/1″) and its TargetName property to specify to which Region you want View to be loaded
- and from your code in ViewModel use the framework's IPrismViewLoadingService and load Views to any Region in multiple ways: by specifying the View type, or View interface type or just a string name of the View – choice is on you (more on that later). Its important to mention here that when view is loaded via URL – Prism Navigation Framework automatically checks from the URL what is the name of its Module and loads the module if its not already loaded before loading the View, but more on that later.
Modules And How They Relate To Their Views And ViewModels
Now that we covered how to load Views, lets see how the Views and ViewModels are defined, created, registered and initialized in your MVVM application done with Prism Navigation Framework:
Views and ViewModels are in Prism applications packaged in Modules - each module is Silverlight Library (packaged in .dll) or Silverlight Application (packaged in .XAP) that supports some application functionality.
View is usually a UserControl that is just a visual representation of the functionality and its bound to its ViewModel for the data and application logic.
Each module in Prism has to implement IModule interface and it contains InitModule method that is called by the Prism when the Module is loaded.
This is where you need to register your Views and ViewModels so that Prism Navigation Framework can help you instantiate them and load them into Regions.
So here is how your typical Module initialization would look like:
public class InitModule : IModule { private readonly IViewRegistrationService _viewRegistrationService; public InitModule(IViewRegistrationService viewRegistrationService) { _viewRegistrationService = viewRegistrationService; } public void Initialize() { this._viewRegistrationService.RegisterViewsAndTheirViewModels(); } }
This is possible because each ViewModel needs to inherit the generic type ViewModel<IView> and therefore carries the type (or interface) its View.
This way RegisterViewsAndTheirViewModels method can automagically scan the calling Assembly and look for the types that inherit ViewModel<TView> and registers them for you.
Here is how typical ViewModel definition looks like if you tie your ViewModel to the View interface type:
public class IndexViewModel : ViewModel<IIndexView> { }
But off course you can also tie your ViewModel directly to the View type if you want (but i don't recommend that you do this, tying ViewModel to View interface is much cleaner):
public class IndexViewModel : ViewModel<IndexView> { }
Naturally, nothing stops you from manually registering your Views and ViewModels in your Module initialization like this:
public class InitModule : IModule { private readonly IViewRegistrationService _viewRegistrationService; public InitModule(IViewRegistrationService viewRegistrationService) { _viewRegistrationService = viewRegistrationService; } public void Initialize() { this._viewRegistrationService.RegisterViewAndViewModel<IUserDetailsView, UserDetailsViewModel>(); } }
As long as you use any of these methods of View-ViewModel registrations – your navigation will work.
View Initialization
So now that we know how to register our Views and ViewModels lets see how ViewModel initialization looks like.
Since base class ViewModel implements IAcceptInitializationData interface it is ready to accept initialization data like this:
public interface IAcceptInitializationData { void Initialize(ViewInitializationData initializationData); }
So whenever some View needs to be shown, behind the scenes its ViewModel will be created, and its Initialize method will be invoked with initialization data (that includes parameters from URLs or directly passed if its done via code) and afterwards this ViewModel will be set as DataContext of the View and then View will be shown in desired prism Region by our Navigation Framework.
Lets take a look at the ViewInitializationData class that is passed to the ViewModel:
public class ViewInitializationData { public string Url { get; set; } public string RegionName { get; set; } public Dictionary<string,string> Parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>(); }
As you see its enough data for the ViewModel to start functioning – it knows where its loaded – RegionName, how (if via URL then corresponding Url property is filled), and it gets its parameters via Parameters dictionary.
Parameters are parsed from the URL automatically by the framework so you dont have to worry about it.
Can I Show Views From Code in ViewModel?
If you are showing the View from the code, you can pass to it new instance of ViewInitializationData type where you can set your parameters etc.
Also its worth mentioning that if you show some View from code into the Main Region and pass parameters to it, then Browser URL will be updated to show the Url of the View showing the Module name, View name and parameters if any.
For example if you loaded DetalsView from ProductsModule with parameters ProductId = 1234 browser URL would change to something like this: http://yourapplication.com/index.html#/Products/Details/ProductId/1234).
As you can see the Prism Navigation Framework can do a lot of plumbing for you, so that you can focus on the implementation of the application functionality (don't we all want to do that?).
In order to achieve all this framework is extending the Prism so it needs to call some initialization code in the Bootstrapper class.
To avoid forcing users to manually call that code in every application there is special class PrismNavigationFrameworkUnityBootstrapper that you can use instead of the regular UnityBootstrapper that will do all this initialization for you (for now MEF is not supported by this framework but maybe we will include it later).
So in your application bootstrapper that inherits PrismNavigationFrameworkUnityBootstrapper you don't need to do anything other than what you would usually do, just create your Shell and register Modules etc, something like this maybe:
public class Bootstrapper : PrismNavigationFrameworkUnityBootstrapper { protected override DependencyObject CreateShell() { this.Container.Resolve<IViewRegistrationService>().RegisterViewAndViewModel<ShellView, ShellViewModel>(); return Container.Resolve<IViewCreationService>().CreateView<ShellView>() as DependencyObject; } protected override void InitializeShell() { base.InitializeShell(); Application.Current.RootVisual = (UIElement)this.Shell; } protected override Microsoft.Practices.Composite.Modularity.IModuleCatalog CreateModuleCatalog() { return Microsoft.Practices.Composite.Modularity.ModuleCatalog.CreateFromXaml(new Uri( "PrismNavigation.App;component/ModuleCatalog.xaml", UriKind.Relative)); } }
Wrap Up
This is just an introductory post and here you could see only part of what you can expect from this Framework.
I wont go into further details for now, so expect in the future more posts covering every feature of the Prism Navigation Framework in more details.
In the meantime check out the Prism Application Framework Sample Application just to get a feel of what it can do, or browse the latest Source Code or download it and use freely for building your next big Prism Silverlight MVVM application.
Your feedback (both positive and negative) and participation in the development of the project is very welcome!

You might have had that view back in 2008. Back in PDC 2008 the Cloud was the emerging
technology, how do I know this I was there in Los Angeles that year.
Well 4 years later I am back from TechEd 2012 in
Orlando with my Apple iPad in hand, It was with me in every session. I was not alone, next to me was a person
carrying a Samsung tablet which had the brightness turned down so low one might
have to throw a blanket over his head to read the screen in the dim session we
were sitting in.
I have worked in manufacturing, healthcare, financial,
automotive and franchising vertical markets and the use of tablet and mobile devices can no longer be ignored.
At a bare minimum there are a number of options of what you
can do with your websites to achieve a friendly and meaningful experience to
your end users. The days of designing
your site or application to a fixed screen size 1024x768 is no longer the
appropriate paradigm.
Damian Edwards a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft had a
number of sessions this year at TechEd Orlando 2012.
Dev304: Asp.Net for Mobile and Tablet Development
Dev305: Microsoft Asp.Net and Real-time Web.
The Reason I am blogging about these sessions and this topic is the room was
jam packed, I left excited about what I can do and should do with MVC at the
companies I work with.
You might find yourself like me new to MVC and JQuery. In my opinion these are some the most
flexible patterns to code for the Mobile and Tablet Segment.
I am sure you can find other books as well but here is one you might want to look at:
I am currently very pleased with the Pro ASP.NET MVC 3
Framework book Steven Sanderson and Adam Freeman.
There are few challenges since I am playing in VS2012 RC MVC4 but
nothing you cant figure out contact me if you have questions on the examples I
might be ahead of you)
Some of the best T shirts and swag was in 2008 at PDC I
think I got 3 infragistics shirts, the only one I did not get - since they ran out
was a star trek themed one.
Since 2008
the swag at PDC and TechEd had dropped significantly.
So I am excited about VS2012 and with that comes the
drudgery of upgrading all the plugins and controls I use. So Jet Brains is a no brainer. I have made the leap with Infragistics with
visual studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and now 2012.
Most of these companies will not support you directly playing in Beta
software but that has not stopped most developers.
Getting my feet wet in MVC has peaked my interest in Jquery
controls. Based on the positive experience
I had with Infragistics - NetAdvantage for JQuery and NetAdvantage for IOS [which
is in beta] will be the next set of controls I get.
Stay tuned for my next post: MVC from the Amazon book shelf to
real world applications. I will share
what I learned and try to keep you excited about MVC and the Tablet as much as
I am.

A couple of prompt and favorable responses to inquiries for data from Parker 2006 and Nyberg et al 2007 (a recent article on hurricanes)
Parker 2006
I wrote Parker today inquiring about the sites used in Parker 2006 and for data for unarchived sites. He replied promptly as follows:
Here are the station lists. The "Word" document gives station details and the text documents specify sources.
Regarding the data from national sources, you can download Central England temperature from http://hadobs.metoffice.com/.
I attach also the data for Lerwick and Eskdalemuir, UK. In these files, Jan, Feb…Dec for a given year and day of the month runs along a row. Valuse are in tenths deg C with -999 = missing (generally denoting nonexistent days).
For the other national-source data you will need to apply to the people listed in the Acknowledgements of my 2006 J Climate paper. The Danish Met Service may charge a fee for the Greenland and Thorshavn data.
David Parker
I've uploaded the files to http://data.climateaudit.org/data/station/parker and interested parties can examine the lists. Given the policies of WMO and IPCC, it's ridiculous that unarchived data should be used in these studies, although one cannot hold Parker to fault for this, other than for failing to criticize this practice as an author.
Nyberg et al 2007
Nyberg et al 2007 is an interesting article in Nature using proxies to study long-term lack of trend in hurricanes. I'll talk about this article at some point. It uses four coral luminescence series which have not been archived and David Black's percentage G bulloides series from Cariaco (in the last 2 years, Nature has published articles in which percent G bulloides, a proxy that I've discussed on a number of occasions in the past, has been used as a proxy for NH temperature, Asian precipitation and Atlantic hurricanes – a versatile proxy indeed.) I wrote to the second author, Bjorn Malmgren (not readily locating Nyberg's email online) requesting that the coral luminescence data be archived at WDCP and received the following cordial reply (which he authorized me to print):
Dear Steve,
Many thanks for your letter. I do not have access to the luminiscence records myself, they are stored with the senior author of the Nature article, Johan Nyberg, a former Ph. D. student of mine. I will contact him immediately to ask him to send you the data directly or to send them to me after which I can forward them to you.
By the way, I am an avid reader of Climate Audit, so from me you receive a proper response. In fact, I download the articles to my cell phone and read them with great interest every day. Many thanks for so relentlessly contributing these articles to Climate Audit.
Kind regards, Bjorn
Within the next day, he confirmed that the data would be archived at WDCP and also sent me a text file with the data.
So not everyone is as obstinate as Jones, Mann, Bradley etc. BTW if I recall correctly, William Connolley or some such have taken the view that I like to complain about unavailability of data. I don't. It's a waste of my time and the obstruction is a waste of the author's time. Rather than get annoyed about it, my practice, as you know, has been to publicize the obstruction at the blog. Sciencemag responded to this pressure when private emails got nowhere.
But I'd much rather write notes like this where a positive result is obtained. In the Nyberg case, the authors obviously had no objections to archiving data, they just hadn't done it. It's too bad that the lax refereeing at Nature doesn't attend to these things, but that's another story.
