Arguably the two best Android tablets on the market right now are the Nexus 7 made by Asus and the Nexus 10 made by Samsung. I prefer 10" tablets so I just upgraded my old Xoom to the Nexus 10. It's an amazing tablet. Keep in mind, by getting a Nexus tablet you are getting a "Google Experience Device" which means no bloatware from the manufacturer and updates straight from Google the day they're released.

No longer underrated, Ekman-Larsson looks to lead in Arizona
Aug 10, 2014, 3:00 PM EDT
By now you should all know about Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
When the Coyotes reached the Western Conference Final in 2012, Ekman-Larsson wowed fans who hadn't had much of a chance to see him play with his ability to carry the puck and generate offense from the blue line. His ability to play strong in all three zones had many believing they were watching a future Norris Trophy winner.
Two years since then, the Coyotes have fallen out of the playoff picture but Ekman-Larsson's play hasn't fallen off. If anything, the 23-year-old is leading by example.
Over the past two seasons, Ekman-Larsson has averaged over 25 minutes of ice time per game. Last season he played nearly 26 minutes per game and the ice time paid off as he had career-highs in goals (15) and points (44). His point total was second to Keith Yandle on the team defense and 14th best amongst defensemen in the NHL. Of the players ahead of him on the NHL list, only Erik Karlsson and Shea Weber saw more ice time.
While Yandle carried a bit more of the offensive load, Ekman-Larsson is taking care of business strongly at both ends of the ice. He's also a major threat on the power play as 22 of his 44 points last season came with the man-advantage including eight goals.
When you check out Ekman-Larsson's possession stats (courtesy Extra Skater), his game is strong.
In his first three seasons he had positive numbers that ranked him out amongst the best on the team. While his possession numbers fell off last season, the punch he and Keith Yandle provided offensively helped keep the Coyotes in the hunt for the playoffs all year.
As he enters his fifth season, Ekman-Larsson has all the hype and the skills to back it up. Now it's his time to break through and enter the pantheon of other elite, young defensemen.

Davies close to Toronto FC move?
Apr 24, 2013, 7:53 AM EDT
Rumors began to circle at the start of this week about EPL veteran Kevin Davies moving to Toronto FC. Now it almost seems like a done deal.
Today the Bolton News revealed that Davies has been allowed to leave his contract early, as a good will gesture, to get his move to MLS signed and sealed as quickly as possible.
In recent months, the 36-year-old striker has seen himself out of contention for the Trotters Championship playoff push, after not making the 18-man squad for the past few games. It is rumored that Davies' contract with Toronto would be for the rest of the season.
Davies has scored 144 goals in 714 career appearances for the likes of Chesterfield, Blackburn and Southampton and he has one England cap to his name. The target man has spent over a decade helping Wanderers survive and then flourish in the EPL.
However with the drop down to the Championship after relegation last year, new manager Dougie Freedman has decided Davies is surplus to requirements and had not offered the bruising Englishman a new deal at the Reebok Stadium.
Davies would certainly fit in with Ryan Nelsen's plans at TFC. As the ex-Blackburn, Tottenham and QPR defender has used his extensive links in the English game to recruit plenty of players with EPL experience to Toronto already.
If I was a Toronto FC fan, I'd be extremely happy with the addition of Davies. Partnering Robert Earnshaw up front, Davies would win all kinds of knockdowns for Earnshaw to latch onto and the duo could become one of the most feared strike partnerships in MLS.
The deal obviously isn't official yet. But it does seem to be gathering steam. With Davies out of contract and a few more years left in his legs, a move to TFC would be a tremendous fit as Nelsen continues to turn the fortunes of the Canadian club around.
Davies has been granted a testimonial with Bolton, so his move across the pond may not be as imminent as some hope. But the fact that they're allowing him to leave before his contract runs out in June, suggests that willing suitors are already lined up. Toronto FC, its over to you.
By pairing a battering ram forward and a small, nippy striker who knows how to finish…it takes me back to the glory days of Niall Quinn and Kevin Phillips at Sunderland! TFC fans, you could be in for a treat with Davies and Earnshaw.

N. Lawrence development project needs design guidelines, city says
Remember, the developers themselves have stated that they're only on "step 5 or 6 out of 100 steps" towards getting this built.
You can place a pretty good bet that some of those other steps to come include a TIF district, or a TTD, or maybe even some STAR bonds. Maybe all three.
And I'm sure there will be some sizable asks from the City in terms of infrastructure to help this get off the ground.
All in the name of things we "need."

City to consider North Lawrence boardwalk development plans
That's my point entirely.
The only thing that the developers have put forth is the required market study that the City requires. Some would also argue that the market study is flawed. In one respect I guess the developers should hope that it is since it pretty clearly points in the direction that Lawrence is over-built on retail (either from a vacancy rate or per-capita perspective).
Other than that, there is no plan on what could be there. It's whatever someone is willing to buy and build. And the developers are asking for the sky when it comes to what they could build.
If someone came along and said "I'd like to build a 50,000 square foot emporium that specializes in rare McDonald's toys" (however misguided that might be), the developers would execute the lease if the price was right.
Until there are concrete plans on what will be built there, what exactly is being voted on? Speculation?

City to consider North Lawrence boardwalk development plans
You seem to be reading a lot into Dan's comments. If I read what was written above it seems to me that he expressed that it could be good or bad for Downtown. All depends on what actually gets developed. Do you remember Bauer Farms?
And if you look at the list of proposed tenants for the North Mass development, you'll see a a proposed ice cream shop, brewery, multiple restaurants, and I'm sure the developers wouldn't say no to a barber shop too (in fact, maybe that's the problem...the developers are unlikely to say no to anything and they're asking for everything).
How is this any different than what already exists in the real Downtown?

Lawrence city leaders to ask Kansas legislators for increased speeding fines along K-10, new sales tax for Internet shoppers, SLT to be completed
It's a pretty simple downward spiral on the Internet Sales Tax issue.
If you buy something online and have it shipped to your home (and the seller does not collect sales tax for your area), you are required to report the sale to the state and remit the appropriate amount of tax. No one does this.
Local governments are then forced to raise taxes (both sales and property) to fund the services we all use (like fire/medical, police, infrastructure, etc.). This in turn pushes more people to buy online or in areas with lower tax rates because they want to save a buck. Which then reduces the tax base even further, and causes local sales property tax to go up again. On and on.
Bottom line, if you buy your stuff online or in Johnson County, don't expect Johnson County amenities or complain when your street isn't fixed. The money has to come from somewhere.

Downtown Lawrence property values, taxes both made significant gains over past decade
The fire at Sunflower Bike was in 1997 and the renovations were complete by 1998. How then to explain the 244% increase since 2001? Methinks it has more to do with real estate speculators paying way too much for surrounding buildings and driving up the value of the non-purchased buildings. Thank you real estate speculators?

Retail summit
Funny. I didn't notice anything in my post about "whining" about the customers (other than the ones that obviously are using merchants for info before they cheap out and buy their stuff online). What I noticed was customers "whining" that stores weren't open late enough for their needs.
My question was how late is late enough to satisfy your needs? I've been Downtown for a few Final Friday events and you know what I saw? A bunch of people walking around buying nothing.
The answer to successful retail in Downtown Lawrence is not "more people Downtown," it's "more *shoppers* Downtown."
And I'm all for more highly successful businesses Downtown. I just don't want to "poor" [sic] my entire life into it.

Retail summit
Everyone enjoys having the owner/operator behind the counter in a small, locally owned business. The professional service and genuinely caring attitude of merchants that are part of their community is what makes the difference when shopping locally (as opposed to some big corporate store).
But what's the answer for these merchants when they have lives of their own to live?
"I'm sorry Mr./Mrs. Merchant, you're not allowed to attend your children's soccer game or school recital because I'm the customer that wants to come in and ask you a bunch of questions about a product that I'm going to purchase online because I'm cheap and don't want to pay a slightly higher price and sales tax versus an online transaction. And I can only come down there after I've eaten dinner. See you at 9 o'clock."
What makes the "owner's time" any less valuable than your own?

Owner of The Bay Leaf points to Internet, downtown hours as contributors to closure
For years, brick and mortar stores have clung to the belief that in surveys of the shopping public things like selection, personal service, and quality goods are more important than price...because that's what the surveys say.
It is a lie.
Consumers taking surveys don't want to feel like cheapskates so they hedge and say that if the selection is good, the service is excellent, and the quality is of a high-value, then they will gladly pay a slightly higher price. A slightly higher price that allows small, independent retailers who pour their hearts and souls into their businesses and into the community to eek out a very modest living before they too have to attend their children's soccer games and school functions.
But the consumer votes with his/her wallet every time.
If they can save a dime by getting something online, they will. Let someone else pay retail. If they can skip out on paying the sales tax that they're supposed to pay to support the functions of government that we all use, they'll skate in a minute (despite the fact that they're required to report and pay these taxes...no one does). This places more pressure on local retailers that face higher sales taxes and property taxes to offset those lost revenues from online sales, and tips the balance even further towards online merchants.
To pretend that later hours, a bum-free environment, and more parking would tip the balance towards brick and mortar stores is a pipe-dream.
The bottom line is that most people are cheapskates...they just don't like to think of themselves that way.

Jane Pennington no longer director of Downtown Lawrence Inc.
I looked through the article and didn't notice anyone "whining about poor sales and big box retailers." Maybe I missed it.
But I was curious about how late you think retailers in the Downtown footprint should stay open. The movie nights I think were on Thursdays when most retailers are open until 8PM. The movies started at dusk with entertainment and giveaways beforehand. Were you looking to shop after the movies were done or during them? I'm confused.
And the BuskerFest events were held throughout the day on Friday and Saturday...as well as during the evening hours...times when many retailers were open. Probably plenty of opportunities to shop.
It might be interesting to poll retailers that stayed open late during the Final Fridays events and gauge their success. Maybe people were buying lots. Maybe people were looking at things that they would eventually buy but didn't. Or maybe there were people wandering with their coffee cups just looking at stuff that they were never going to buy. I don't know.
For me, part of the charm of Downtown Lawrence is it's mix of mom-and-pop retailers that can provide great service and value. That is something you don't get at big box stores. And I'd like to point out that I think it's almost exclusively the job of the retailer to turn gawkers into buyers, but by definition, mom-and-pops also have families to go home to, soccer games to watch, recitals to attend, etc. They can't be in the store 24/7. They could of course hire competent help to staff those other hours when they can't be there, but there's something special about the owner being the one on the other side of the counter. At least in my opinion and that's party what I'm willing to pay for.
I wonder where the balance is.

The Double Musky was a really fun Restaraunt with a great atmosphere. The food was great and the portions for dinner are huge. I recommend sharing the dinners as they come with a salad and fresh bake delicious biscuits.
Driving the 30 miles south of Anchorage for this treat is REALLY WORTH IT. Most people will tell you it is the best in Alaska. It just might be. If like good food good atmosphere and a great drive to dinner go to the Double Musky! They are closed Mondays and do not accept reservations. The wait in the bar...
I went with a group of my colleagues (8 of us in total) to the Double Musky for a good dinner at the end of a recent trip to Anchorage, and we were not disappointed. The food was outstanding, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere is quite good. From all reports (a few of my colleagues ordered it), the...
This is a must, when you visit Anchorage is a 20 minute drive to Girdwood, the place is very charming with an eclectic decor that keeps you entertain, you usually have to wait quite a bit to get a table so is better to go when you are not that hungry and work your appetite while waiting having some drinks...
Great meal with friends on our last night in Alaska. Our waiter was accommodating since we had a short time-frame to order, eat and catch our shuttle to Anchorage airport. The group said it was their best meal during our 11 days in Alaska. Family owned/operated....highly recommend!
Exceptional food, with a New Orleans style atmosphere! I love to get a good filet wherever I go. The filet I had was delicious, tasty, savory, worth every penny. My wife had beef kabobs, and I thought it was ok. The filet is where it's at. Service was good, had female server, not extraordinary like the food but still good....
I used to be a big fan of Double Musky until tonight! Not only the service was terrible, but also the food was not the same quality what it used to be. My friend ordered the hen. First, it was brought to the table 10 minutes after everybody else got their food. Second, it was raw!!! Nobody came to check...
NOTE: They DO NOT take reservations. Get there a few mins before opening if you can. The food is worth it. There stuffed mushroom apps, are by the best I've tried. They are known for there Steaks, and by all means its worth it. Steaks are big, so be ready to eat or share. Great Alaska feel and atmosphere.
Nine of us had a group dinner there on a Saturday evening, we were seated immediately and the service was excellent. We enjoyed the food and the entire experience.
The locals in Girdwood can't understand how the Musky keeps their 4 star rating. It's crowded, expensive, and not at all authentic New Orleans food as advertised. The owners are not at all community minded. For all that money they're making, you would think they would give a little back.
Bottom line.... it's for the tourists.

X.Org Server 1.11.1 Brings Two Brown-Bag Fixes
Published on 24 September 2011 04:46 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
2 Comments
Jeremy Huddleston released xorg-server 1.11.1 a few hours ago. This release was done since two "brown-bag" issues were found in X.Org Server 1.11.0, which was released just one month ago.
Due to two high-priority issues, this new release isn't coming six months after 1.11.0, which is normally the timed cycle for the point releases. Assuming nothing major comes up, xorg-server 1.11.2 will go back to the six-week release cycle.
The two committed changes to this release come from NVIDIA's Aaron Plattner. It turns out the extension ABI had to be bumped, but wasn't done so after the respective breaking commit. The other is an fb change.

Like Green Day, Rancid was once reviled as a band of poseurs by much of the punk-rock intelligentsia but is now seen as a standard-bearer for the genre — and sheer persistence is a big factor. Early discs such as 1995's And Out Come the Wolves were so derivative of The Clash and Britain's early-Eighties two-tone movement that they verged on copyright infringement, and subsequent material didn't exactly qualify as wholly original. Nevertheless, Tim Armstrong, Lars Fredericksen, and their brethren proved to be true believers in the punk code, and their brand of integrity, combined with enthusiasm and good taste, eventually softened all but a handful of critics. After a hiatus during much of 2004 and 2005, the band has returned with a slightly retooled lineup, with Branden Steineckert replacing Brett Reed on drums. A new album of material, Rancid's first since 2003, is forthcoming this summer on Hellcat Records. Meanwhile, the band's visit to South Florida, featuring local hero Guajiro, should prove to be the punk equivalent of a love fest. Who's posing now?

good value for eurotunnel hotel
We have stayed in a holiday inn express before and werent too impressed that time but we were going to France by euro tunnel and wanted a hotel as near as possible so we booked a room .
We were both happy with the hotel's position, you cant get much nearer the tunnel than this hotel. Our room was ready even though we arrived a little early,we were on 3rd floor and had a view of the chalk horse figure in the field opposite and not much else as the area is kind of industrial. We were close to the motorway as others have said and it was quite noisy with the window open but with them closed the sound was not too intrusive and we both slept soundly. The bed was very comfortable and we had all we needed in the room,heater/air con unit, nice shower, tv and coffee making facility. As we had an early start time in the morning we went for breakfast quite early and the choice was very good,sausages,scrambled eggs,baked beans for me, croissants for my partner, plenty of toast and preserves and juices,coffee or tea. We both thought the breakfast,though maybe not the biggest choice ever, was very good. Overall we would say the hotel is perfect if you are off to France and need a room for the night. Good price,clean and nice room and fairly good food, we didnt try the bar but it looked ok.

New Zealand ran a trade deficit of $305 million in January, as export returns fell sharply, especially for dairy products and crude oil.
Exports have been trending down in recent months and are now about 5 per cent down on a peak in late 2011.
The deficit for January was equal to 9.1 per cent of exports, compared with an average deficit of just 1.8 per cent of exports in the previous five January months.
Statistics New Zealand figures show exports were worth $3.3 billion in January, down 10 per cent on the same month last year
Falling prices for milk powder, butter and cheese and a drop in crude oil has seen the value of total exports drop by $378 million in January, compared with a year ago.
After accounting for usual seasonal changes, exports fell 15 per cent between December 2012 and January this year, again led by lower sales of milk powder, butter and cheese.
Imports were also down compared with a year ago, but not as much.
Imports fell $234m or by 6 per cent to $3.7 billion. The previous January was boosted by large capital goods imports, which accounted for the fall in January this year.
Seasonally adjusted imports rose 1.6 per cent in January 2013, Statistics NZ said.
The trend for exports appears to have been declining in recent months, and is 5.0 per cent lower than its highest peak, which was in November 2011. The trend for imports has been declining since July 2012, after a period of no change.

Hi: 10° Lo:0°
By Rob George Friday 21 December 2012 Updated: 04/01 10:29
MINCE Pies were top of the menu when Droitwich's High Street welcomed a brand new business just in time for Christmas.
Town mayor Coun Anne Taft was among those in attendance to officially open 'Millinery Creations by Caroline' on December 1.
Coun Taft cut the ribbon to formally open the new premises and then made a short speech congratulating owner Caroline Butcher and wished her well with the new venture.
"Caroline's shop brings something exciting and individual to the town centre," said Coun Taft.
"I will definitely be a customer – I've always been a hat person," she added.
Following the ceremony guests were treated to an intimate concert in the shop from Britain's Got Talent saxophonist Julian Smith and classical soprano vocalist Amelia Whiteman.
Festive mince pies were also served as people viewed the extensive collection of hats and fascinators on display.
Visit www.creationsbycaroline.co.uk for the opening times of the new shop.

"Calipari said Knight's comments surprised him. "I get up to go to mass this morning and there's like 100 text messages and I'm like what in the world happened?" Calipari said. "And I get word and what I can tell you is I'm a big fan, respect him as a basketball coach, always have." Knight called out Calipari during a fundraiser for the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame on Thursday. "We've gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that's why I'm glad I'm not coaching," Knight said. "You see we've got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he's still coaching. I really don't understand that." Both Memphis and Massachusetts were forced to vacate Final Four appearances by the NCAA for infractions made during Calipari's tenure, though Memphis is appealing the penalty. Calipari was not implicated in either case by the NCAA. Calipari declined to take questions on the matter on Friday, but credited some of the success he has had with his offensive strategy to Knight, who retired with 902 career victories. Calipari said he took his staff at Memphis down to Texas Tech while Knight was coaching to watch the Red Raiders practice. Calipari said Knight gave him some help on perfecting the "Dribble Drive" offense. "Made it even better," Calipari said. Kentucky forward Josh Harrellson said he was surprised by Knight's comments but that Knight's words seem to be part of the national perception of his coach. "People hear stuff about him and they kind of guess what he's like, but playing for him and actually being around him, he's a great guy," Harrellson said. "He's fair to everybody." The third-ranked Wildcats (10-0) host Austin Peay on Saturday. Calipari can break Adolph Rupp's record for best start by a first-year coach in program history with a victory. Knight is currently a college basketball analyst for ESPN.
I don't agree with what he says but it doesn't change how I feel about him." -- Kentucky coach John Calipari

In case you're coming late to this discussion (or have ADD), I've summarized Dr. Kimball Atwood's terrific analysis of the ongoing clinical trial (TACT trial) in which convicted felons were awarded $30 million by the NIH.
In one of the most unethical clinical trial debacles of our time, the NIH approved a research study (called the TACT Trial – Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy – a supposed treatment for arteriosclerosis) in which the treatment had no evidence for potential benefit, and clear evidence of potential harm – and even the risk of death. Amazingly, the researchers neglected to mention this risk in their informed consent document. The NIH awarded $30 million of our tax dollars to ~100 researchers to enroll 2000 patients in this risky study (ongoing from 2003-present). Even more astounding is the fact that several of the researchers have been disciplined for substandard practices by state medical boards; several have been involved in insurance fraud; at least 3 are convicted felons.
But wait, there's more.
The treatment under investigation, IV injection of Na2EDTA, is specifically contraindicated for "generalized arteriosclerosis" by the FDA. There have been over 30 reported cases of accidental death caused by the administration of this drug – and prior to the TACT, 4 RCTs and several substudies of chelation for either CAD or PVD, involving 285 subjects, had been reported. None found chelation superior to placebo.
So, Why Was This Study Approved?
The NIH and the TACT principal investigator (PI) argued that there was a substantial demand for chelation, creating a "public health imperative" to perform a large trial as soon as possible. In reality, the number of people using the therapy was only a small fraction of what the PI reported.
It's hard to know exactly what happened "behind the scenes" to pressure NIH to go forward with the study – however a few things are clear: 1) the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) initially declined to approve the study based on lack of scientific merit 2) congressman Dan Burton and at least one of his staffers (Beth Clay) and a lobbyist (Bill Chatfield) worked tirelessly to get the study approved through a different institute – NCCAM 3) some of the evidence used to support the trial was falsified (The RFA cited several articles by Edward McDonagh, the chelationist who had previously admitted in a court of law to having falsified his data.) 4) The NIH Special Emphasis Panel that approved the TACT protocol included L. Terry Chappell, whom the protocol had named as a participant in the TACT.
All evidence seems to suggest that political meddling managed to trump science in this case – putting the lives of 2000 study subjects at risk, without any likely benefit to them or medicine.
A formal analysis of the sordid history and ethical violations of the TACT trial was published by the Medscape Journal of Medicine on May 13, 2008. Atwood et al. provide a rigorous, 9-part commentary with 326 references in review of the case. Congressman Burton's staffer, Beth Clay, published what is essentially a character assassination of Dr. Atwood in response.
The NIH Writes TACT Investigators a Strongly Worded Letter
On May 27, 2009 the Office for Human Research Protections Committee sent a letter to the investigators of TACT, stating that they found, "multiple instances of substandard practices, insurance fraud, and felony activity on the part of the investigators." The letter describes a list of irregularities and recommends various changes to the research protocol.
It is almost unheard of for a letter from the NIH to state that research study investigators are guilty of fraud and felony activity – but what I don't understand is why they haven't shut down the study. Perhaps this is their first step towards that goal? Let's hope so.
The TACT trial has subjected 2000 unwary subjects and $30 million of public money to an unethical trial of a dubious treatment that, had it been accurately represented and judged by the usual criteria, would certainly have been disqualified. Political meddling in health and medical affairs is dangerous business, and must be opposed as strongly as possible. Congressmen like Tom Harkin and Dan Burton should not be allowed to push their political agendas and requests for publicly funded pseudoscience on the NIH. I can only hope that the new NIH director will have the courage to fend off demands for unethical trials from political appointees.
Simon Singh is a science journalist who last year wrote an article in the Guardian critical of the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) for promoting chiropractic treatment for certain childhood ailments. Singh characterized these treatments as "bogus" because they lack evidence to back up claims for clinical efficacy. The BCA responded by suing Singh for libel. In the English court system the person being sued for libel is essentially guilty until proven innocent, and even successfully defending oneself can be ruinously expensive. Therefore suing for libel in English court is a very successful strategy for silencing critics.
This case resulted in a bit of a backlash against the BCA, who were accused of silencing legitimate and very necessary public scientific debate regarding the safety and efficacy of medical interventions. The BCA could have simply responded by providing evidence to back up their claims, and the Guardian even offered them space to do so, but instead they sued.
Part of this backlash is a movement, supported by many scientific organizations, to keep libel laws out of science.

A study published in Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine is being cited as evidence for the efficacy of healing touch (HT). It enrolled 237 subjects who were scheduled for coronary bypass, randomized them to receive HT, a visitor, or no treatment; and found that HT was associated with a greater decrease in anxiety and shorter hospital stays.
This study is a good example of what I have called "Tooth Fairy Science." You can study how much money the Tooth Fairy leaves in different situations (first vs. last tooth, age of child, tooth in baggie vs. tooth wrapped in Kleenex, etc.), and your results can be replicable and statistically significant, and you can think you have learned something about the Tooth Fairy; but your results don't mean what you think they do because you didn't stop to find out whether the Tooth Fairy was real or whether some more mundane explanation (parents) might account for the phenomenon.

One of the major themes here on the Science-Based Medicine (SBM) blog has been about one major shortcoming of the more commonly used evidence-based medicine paradigm (EBM) that has been in ascendance as the preferred method of evaluating clinical evidence. Specifically, as Kim Atwood (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) has pointed out before, EBM values clinical studies above all else and devalues plausibility based on well-established basic science as one of the "lower" forms of evidence. While this sounds quite reasonable on the surface (after all, what we as physicians really want to know is whether a treatment works better than a placebo or not), it ignores one very important problem with clinical trials, namely that prior scientific probability matters. Indeed, four years ago, John Ioannidis made a bit of a splash with a paper published in JAMA entitled Contradicted and Initially Stronger Effects in Highly Cited Clinical Research and, more provocatively in PLoS Medicine, Why Most Published Research Findings Are Wrong. In his study, he examined a panel of highly cited clinical trials and determined that the results of many of them were not replicated and validated in subsequent studies. His conclusion was that a significant proportion, perhaps most, of the results of clinical trials turn out not to be true after further replication and that the likelihood of such incorrect results increases with increasing improbability of the hypothesis being tested.
Not surprisingly, CAM advocates piled onto these studies as "evidence" that clinical research is hopelessly flawed and biased, but that is not the correct interpretation. Basically, as Steve Novella and, especially, Alex Tabarrok pointed out, prior probability is critical. What Ioannidis' research shows is that clinical trials examining highly improbable hypotheses are far more likely to produce false positive results than clinical trials examining hypotheses with a stronger basis in science. Of course, estimating prior probability can be tricky based on science. After all, if we could tell beforehand which modalities would work and which didn't we wouldn't need to do clinical trials, but there are modalities for which we can estimate the prior probability as being very close to zero. Not surprisingly (at least to readers of this blog), these modalities tend to be "alternative medicine" modalities. Indeed, the purest test of this phenomenon is homeopathy, which is nothing more than pure placebo, mainly because it is water. Of course, another principle that applies to clinical trials is that smaller, more preliminary studies often yield seemingly positive results that fail to hold up with repetition in larger, more rigorously designed randomized, double-blind clinical trials.
Last week, a paper was published in PLoS ONE Thomas by Thomas Pfeiffer at Harvard University and Robert Hoffmann at MIT that brings up another factor that may affect the reliability of research. Oddly enough, it is somewhat counterintuitive. Specifically, Pfeiffer and Hoffmann's study was entitled Large-Scale Assessment of the Effect of Popularity on the Reliability of Research. In other words, the hypothesis being tested is whether the reliability of findings published in the scientific literature decreases with the popularity of a research field. Although this phenomenon is hypothesized based on theoretical reasoning, Pfeiffer and Hoffmann claim to present the first empirical evidence to support this hypothesis.
This month I will begin my third year of medical school, after a three-year break for laboratory research. Living alternately in the worlds of med school and grad school has prompted me to reflect on differences between these training programs.
[Obvious disclaimer: I have studied at a single institution, and only for five years.]
I am enrolled in a dual-degree MD/PhD program. About 120 US medical schools have such programs, and the National Institutes of Health funds a third of them (MSTP). The schedule of such programs is generally: 2 years of medical school (culminating in USMLE Step 1), 3+ years of graduate school (culminating in dissertation and PhD), and then the last 2 years of medical school (which I begin this month). The most popular residency choices for MD/PhD graduates are internal medicine, pediatrics, and pathology (match data). Other residencies that attract these graduates include dermatology, neurology, ophthamology, and radiology (survey data). The hopes of those funding the MD/PhD training programs and of those accepting the graduates is that these individuals will become physician-scientists, bridging the divide between lab bench and patient bedside with insights from both.

I love the British comedy duo Mitchell and Webb, and this is just one reason why. They totally get homeopathy, as this video e-mailed to me by a reader demonstrates:
Pay close attention to the signs in the A & E.
No doubt Dana Ullman will show up to cry foul over how Mitchell and Webb are totally "misrepresenting" homeopathy…

Transcribed minutes of a meeting, provenance unknown.
Chairman: "I would like to call this emergency meeting to order and thank you all for coming under short notice. If there are no objections, I will dispense with the usual formalities and get right to the business at hand."
Murmur of approval.
Chairman: Ladies, Gentleman and Demons of all kinds, we have been, to use the vernacular of the day, outed."
Murmur of consternation
Voice from the crowd: "I am most certainly not gay."
Chairman: "Not gay. We have been outed as a society. The Evil Society of the Evil Medical Industrial Complex, our beloved ESEMIC, is no longer secret. Our works have been discovered. The true meaning of the Caduceus has been published for all to see. And by your fruits you shall be known. Sorry demons"
Louder murmur of consternation.
Loud voice from the crowd: "I demand to know how this occurred. This is impossible."
Shouts of agreement.
Chairman: "If you will please all remain calm, I will explain."

Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., is probably best known for his leadership of the Human Genome Project, though his discoveries of the Cystic Fibrosis, Huntington's, and Neurofibromatosis genes are also extraordinary accomplishments. Dr. Collins is a world-renowned scientist and geneticist, and also a committed Christian. In his recent best-selling book, The Language Of God, Dr. Collins attempts to harmonize his commitment to both science and religion.
Some critics (such as Richard Dawkins) have expressed reservations about Dr. Collins' faith, wondering if it might cloud his scientific judgment. Since Collins is rumored to be the most likely candidate for directorship of the NIH, and because I wanted to know if Dawkins et al. had any reason for concern, I decided to read The Language Of God.
First of all, Christians are a rather heterogeneous group – with a range of viewpoints on evolution, science, and the interpretation of Biblical texts. On one extreme there are Christians (often referred to as "young earth creationists" or simply "creationists") who believe in an absolutely literal interpretation of the Genesis story, and see evolution as antithetical to true faith. Dr. Collins suggests that as many as 45% of Christians may actually be in this camp.

When it comes to "alternative medicine" trials, it seems that the NIH is willing to experiment on people in ways that would be unthinkable for real biomedical research. The federal Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) has posted a preliminary determination letter, dated May 27, 2009, addressing some of the charges we had made against the politics-driven NIH Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT).
It is a remarkably damning statement, particularly regarding an NIH study. That is, it found—or the recipients admitted—that each of several charges was valid. Among these are misleading statements and unstated risks in the consent form, and the embarrassing backgrounds of TACT investigators. According to the determination letter,
…investigations revealed multiple instances of substandard practices, insurance fraud, and felony activity on the part of investigators."

A Pennsylvania judge ruled Thursday that a former student had failed to demonstrate that a professor at Lehigh University was arbitrary in an illegal way in awarding her a C+, Lehigh Valley Live reported. The judge said that he did have some questions about the grade, but that the former student had failed to show that the grade was for "anything other than purely academic reasons." The former student had sought $1.3 million, saying that the low grade blocked her from proceeding in the graduate program of her choice.

Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Marcia Fudge has asked CBC members to not speak publically about a potential military strike in Syria. In a email sent on Sept. 3, Fudge asked them "to limit public comment on the issue," until they have more information, The Hill reports. But the next day Missouri Rep. Emanual Cleaver said he was leaning toward a no vote and California Rep. Barbara Lee said she wasn't persuaded by Obama officials in a conference call that a military intervention is the only option.

And because of the availability of low-cost natural gas and extensive port facilities, locations along the Gulf Coast such as Corpus Christi and Houston are seeing many large-scale projects either underway or in the planning stages.
Reports suggest that along the coast (stretching into Louisiana) nearly $100 billion in new projects are slated — a direct result of the resurgence in energy activity associated with unconventional extraction techniques.
So, Texas benefits not only from recent discoveries in South and West Texas, but also from the Barnett in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the Haynesville in East Texas and Northern Louisiana, and the Bakken in North Dakota, literally anywhere in the U.S. and beyond.
If the Keystone XL pipeline receives approval, Texas will benefit from that oil production also, since many of the refineries along the Gulf Coast have been designed to accommodate the heavier crude from Canada.
In short, Texas benefits economically from all aspects of oil and gas production. From upstream exploration and production activities, to midstream storage and transport, to refining, processing and manufacturing opportunities, the impact reaches across the state.
