Geithner as matinee idol
As regular readers know, I have long thought that Timothy Geithner is in over his head as Treasury Secretary.
So, it stands to reason that many people continue to listen carefully to what he says, this time at the opening of the new HBO film based on Andrew Ross Sorkin's book about the most recent financial crisis, Too Big to Fail.
"You can't prevent people from making mistakes," observed Geithner philosophically. "Taking too much risk and making stupid mistakes may not be a crime."
Yeah, right. Try to persuade Jeff Skilling of that.
The reality is that there isn't much difference between the way in which Geithner and Skilling reacted to their respective crisis. Yet one remains in one of the most powerful positions in government, while the other wastes away in a prison cell.
There is simply no rational basis for the disparate treatment of these two men.
Posted by Tom at May 20, 2011 12:01 AM |
Skilling was found:
guilty on one count of conspiracy
guilty on one count of insider trading
guilty on five counts of making false statements to auditors
guilty on twelve counts of securities fraud
He certainly was a risk taker, and selling off $60 million dollars of Enron stock just prior to the company declaring bankruptcy must have struck the jury as an inappropriate response to his own personal crisis.
Posted by: Bill McWilliams at May 20, 2011 9:05 AM
Bill, Skilling was prosecuted only for an approximate $15 million sale of Enron stock that he initiated after the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, and over a month after he had left Enron.
Skilling's alleged false statements to auditors and relating to alleged securities fraud pale in comparison to the dubious statements that Mr. Geithner has made during and after the financial crisis on Wall Street.
Posted by: Tom K. at May 20, 2011 2:37 PM
IMHO, Mr. Skilling was a crook who is close to being partially let off the hook and Mr. Geithner is a corrupt public servant (sic).
Posted by: Bill McWilliams at May 20, 2011 4:32 PM
No meaningful evidence exists that Skilling is a crook or that Geithner is corrupt. Both men took calculated risks in an effort to serve their constituents' interests with varying degrees of success. Criminalizing those efforts serves no useful public policy.
Posted by: Tom K. at May 20, 2011 8:25 PM
I understand your position. I just happen to agree with the jury's view of the evidence in the case against Skilling.
I called Geithner corrupt precisely because of his
"service" to his constituents on Wall Street, at the expense of ordinary citizens on Main Street.

The good news is it's always soup season. The better news is that you will always have ingredients on-hand to make some sort of soup. Tonight's soup used a head of cauliflower that's been waiting in the fridge since the weekend, and if cauliflowers could talk this one definitely kept talking to me out of the side of its mouth (because can you visualize a cauliflower with anything but a sideways mouth? Me, either.).
My friend Dawna, who originally shared the recipe with me, and I have been making this soup for almost 15 years and haven't changed one thing from the original recipe. That should tell you something because I always change recipes, and I rarely make the same thing twice. That's about as big an endorsement as you can get from this kitchen. This is also in my daughter's top three favorite meals I make.
Oh, and if you do not own an immersion blender go and buy one immediately before you attempt to make this soup. Click here to order one now, and have it delivered straight to your door. Just like that. Easy button!
Serves 4
- 2 T Olive Oil
- 1 medium chopped onion
- 1 head cauliflower, chopped into florets
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1 cup milk (I use whatever milk substitute is in my fridge: rice, soy, almond, etc., but always plain)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- Coat bottom of large stock pot with oil. Over medium-high heat, cook onion until tender. Stir in cauliflower, coriander, salt and pepper. Add broth and milk and bring to a low boil, then immediately reduce the heat and simmer 20-30 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.
- Using your immersion blender, puree the contents of your stock pot until smooth. You might need to tilt your pan to be sure you get the blender fully immersed in the liquid, and spend time to be sure you grab all the pieces of cauliflower and onion. Now would be the time to add more milk if you want to change the consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender and still want to make the soup PLEASE BE CAREFUL. You will need to allow the soup to cool for approximately 15 minutes before you start scooping out small portions at a time and dumping it in your blender. You won't be able to blend the entire batch at once so I assume you'll need to figure out an assembly line of sorts with another bowl for the post-pureed soup.
- That's it. You're all finished! How easy was that?!
Of course if you're going to make soup you must make muffins to go with it! At least that's the rule in my kitchen! For tonight's delicious cinnamon muffin recipe click here!

Crytek, the studio behind the recently released Crysis 3, has confirmed that it managed to get the new game running on the Nintendo Wii U platform but, due to business decisions between publisher Electronic Arts and Nintendo, the project was ultimately scrapped.
Crysis 3 came out last month across the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 platforms, showing off the technical expertise of developer Crytek, which managed to squeeze out all the power of the different devices.
Sadly, the first-person shooter didn't appear on the Wii U, despite the fact that the game was in fact functional on the newly released console.
According to Crytek boss Cevat Yerli, who talked with Games Beat, his team managed to make the shooter run on the Wii U, but the whole project was scrapped because of business decisions made by publisher Electronic Arts and Nintendo itself.
As such, Crysis 3 has only appeared on the PC, PS3, and the Xbox 360.

There's a new breeze in the air. After countless years of androcentric reign and influence, there's a new male paradigm which has been emerging along with the rise of the Divine Feminine.
Men of conscience, from all walks of life, who have become wearied by the old patriarchal "business as usual" motif – have begun the process of reclaiming and activating the lost and shut-down parts of themselves. The process varies according to the experiences of each man, and his openness to growth, and self-development. However, it is a genuine spiritual awakening occuring globally both individually, and collectively in this time and space.
10 years ago, I was led to create Earth SonSpirit, a Yahoo community (now hosted at http://earth-sonspirit.ning.com) to share with others – my personal quest and insights into what I referred to as Sacred Masculinity. Nine days later (January 22, 2001), I wrote the following to women members of the group:
You are the ones who walk the path of the great Earth Mother. Your
spirit holds the secrets of womb-magik, the wisdom of soul-speak, and
the traditions of the ancients. We salute you sacred ones, and seek
your assistance on our journey.
We admit that, in many instances, we have fallen short of the mark
and have become less than what we actually are. We also acknowledge
that often we have not treated you with the honor and the respect
which you deserve. For these and other unnamed misdeeds – we tender
to you our apology and seek your forgiveness.
Although many of us are slow to act and to throw-off those things
which hold us back (and keep us from the healing which is needed to
go forward) – it is our intention to find and embrace our
sacred "SonSpirit".
As my wife, and I, had previously discussed (on many occasions) the horrific reality of patriarchy – I knew that in my search and growth, this issue must be addressed – and an apology tendered for the abuses of my gender.
I was elated recently to have the opportunity to see the video "Dear Woman", and view a live discussion with Gay Hendricks, Arjuna Ardagh and Jeff Brown – on the concept of conscious men pertaining to the "apology" (aka A Manifesto For Conscious Men).
To personally know that there are other men, who expressed equal sentiments, and are walking a similar path makes my heart sing!

On average, employees at Teleperformance give their company a 3.4 rating out of 5.0 - which is 11% lower than the average rating for all companies on CareerBliss. The happiest Teleperformance employees are Technical Support Specialists submitting an average rating of 3.8 and Technical Support Engineers with a rating of 3.7.
"Poorly designed training curriculum. Favoritism with management members promoting their friends. More violations of their client's policies then I can count."
"Teleperformance is a great company to work for. A lot of positive people, a great atmosphere to be in, and a lot of opportunities for growth in the career. It is a fast-paced environment and very professional. The management is great and is very passionate about their employees. I recommend this job to anyone."
"A good company to start your career."
"No way to be promoted unless you know someone. The management is very deceptive."
"Great company to work for entry level employees, however don't overstay."
"Did not have the proper tools and guidance to learn and grow."
"Poor management, very micromanaged. I don't know where they picked up their supervisors and managers, but those should require a degree or at least a certification in business management. The pay is poor for the quality of the work. You can work there for a very long time and still not get a raise, even though they promise you in the interviews there is opportunities for raises and promotions. Many people working there lack education big time. High turnover."
"Teleperformance is an excellent company to begin a career with information technology."
"Great company, great staff and management. Terrible pay for new employees and not much room to move from agent to corporate."
"I worked here for a few months, and was moved to the Tier 2 position ahead of schedule. I was told it would be a more technical position; it was not. What that position mostly took care of was retention because someone else was not doing their job.Not an entirely terrible survival job."
"I worked for TP for 6 years and the company just does not reward their employees for education! I got my bachelor's degree and only got a 50 cent raise. I could not make enough working for them to pay back my student loans!"
"Teleperformance didn't shy around the type of workplace it was; that is a turn-style with a chair and computer, but they always claimed there was room at the top for people who worked hard. Unfortunately that wasn't entirely true, those of us who worked diligently and took on special projects and responsibility were rarely offered promotion as it seemed a buddy system was the only way to get there. Technical knowledge and multi-talented, career focused individuals are not welcomed here."
"I worked for Teleperformance for 8 months. It is call center work and I was an iOS or iPhone Tech support. It was an enjoyable job, the only problem I had was the regulation of the temperature in the room we were in was poor and most everybody was always freezing."
"I work for this company for about 6 months. The only drawback I would say is the turnover rating is a little high. They have several accounts at this call center and are not able to provide a stable work environment for long term positions. Most of the time you have to be in the right place at the right time and know a few people to get great reviews."
"I have worked in Teleperformance since December, 2012. This is a worldwide company that is specialized in multichannel customers for more than 150 countries and has interaction with 25% of the world's population annually. The company has a great infrastructure and latest technology. The work environment in general is very dynamic and employees are very identify with the company, so most of them have several years working for the company."

Mets like Jhonny Peralta 'a lot'
The Mets like free-agent SS Jhonny Peralta "a lot," according to New York Post's Ken Davidoff.
Davidoff predicts the Mets will end up signing Peralta, as well as free-agent OF Curtis Granderson, this winter.
Granderson will cost a draft pick (not the Mets first-round pick, which is protected), as will free-agent SS Stephen Drew. Sandy Alderson is unlikely to part with two draft picks, and the Mets need power, which is why Davidoff thinks the team will go for Granderson and then sign Peralta, since Peralta will not cost a pick.
In Davidoff's best estimation, Peralta and Granderson will each get a three-year, $36 million deal.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
This is sound and makes total sense. I can actually see this happening. I don't know that it's enough, and I bet I'm disappointed if these are the only two big acquisitions, but it is an upgrade from last season, no question. These two signings, a starting pitcher, a solid reliever or two, with some minor league deals peppered in, will probably bring the team to the reported $90-100 million payroll. My hope is they also trade to bring in a big bat, which may end up being the off-season's white whale.

to convey the spatial distribution of archaeological sites. One of the
problems I am not sure how to overcome is that of point density. Should
I make the symbols smaller, leave them as they are or move them to make
them more legible?

I Can Read That!
China figures big in the future no matter what your interest. It's a vast place with its own non-alphabetic writing in abundance. To get around you really need to be able to recognize a few Chinese characters. You can get by knowing the 50 or so basic ones taught in the small expert book. Elementary survival knowledge, like the symbols for toilet — men or women? Exit versus entrance. Numbers, dates, directions, hotel, etc. There is no attempt to teach you Chinese (thank goodness), just how to navigate a visit there.
A clock for number practice. Real clocks use numerals, not characters. But this clock may help you learn the characters for the numbers. You can make hands for the clock out of toothpicks or paper.
"Exit" and "enter" signs. You'll see the same entrance and exit signs wherever Chinese characters are used.
Restroom signs. Along the Burma Road. this public facility has a two-syllable word for toilet and an arrow pointing to the female entrance.

Thanks to their continued sponsorship in the sporting community Hackett polo shirts have become a feature of some of the largest heritage sporting events such as the yearly boat race and international rugby. By pairing themselves with only the most elite sporting events they have secured their place as one of the finest British heritage brands. However as the brand strive to reach a younger audience do they risk losing the heritage appeal and becoming just another designer clothing label? However the following year the most notable sponsorship was for British tennis so the brand are continuing to maintain strong links with the British sporting elite. Rather than continue to appeal to separate groups under the same name it may be more likely that they will break the brand into two distinct labels. Similar to the way many other designer brands have done in the past. You will often see a clothing company maintain a heritage brand while at the same time launching a new high street label. Doing this allows them to appeal to very distinct groups of customers in very different ways, and to tailor their sponsorships to which appendage of the company is most suitable. from www.brandsweekend.su you can get these polo hacket at amazing lowest price

when it comes to the winter 2015 styles for Ralphlauren mens sweaters colour is the major shift this year as bright colours are making a large splash in many high end designer lines such as Pringle. This year you should keep an open mind when it comes to colour and consider sweaters in bright blues, dark reds, burnt oranges, vibrant whites, and even some deep purples and pinks. In fact, the easiest way to keep up with the trends and make the winter a little less harsh is simply to add a bit of colour to your wardrobe. http://www.brandsweekend.su/Shirts_bid32330_Ralph%2BLauren%2BPolo%2BMens%2BSweater%2B103.htmlThis is also a great way to make sure you have a collection that will match with almost any type of pants. For those that are a bit too reserved for too much colour, the blues and greys are nice combinations since the bright blues will help to liven up the traditional blacks and greys that dominate sweater choices. If you still do not like the idea of too much colour, patterns and stripes as well as stark knit blended weaves are also very much in style, so make sure to choose greys and blacks with patterns such as diagonal crisscrosses or checks across them to make a splash in your own manner. From BrandsWeekend.su , they will tell you how to wear .

Auguste Rodin (1840 -1917)
Balzac, Study for the Dressing Gown
H. 148 cm ; W. 57.5 cm ; D. 42 cm
< Back to collection
At each stage of his creative process, Rodin studied the drapery that would cover his naked figures. Balzac was famous for the dressing gown he liked to wear at home when writing, and the Société des Gens de Lettres wished to see him depicted in it.
Anxious to be accurate,Rodin used a dressing gown supplied by Balzac's tailor.He placed it on the study of his body , then arranged the fabric how he wanted and stiffened it, before having a cast made of it. What came out of the mould was a strange plaster ghost, an empty garment that revealed the shape of the body that it would cover.This object enabled the sculptor to model the very subtle drapery on the Monument to Balzac : what Rodin was seeking was for this part of the work to vibrate in the surrounding atmosphere, for the light to flow over its surface without creating any excessive effects of contrast.
The dressing gown was thus the materialization of an aesthetic elaborated by Rodin at the turn of the century, whose flowing softness broke away from the concern for power still expressed by the head of Balzac.

Book by Father Maciel was plagiarized, Legionaries disclose
Catholic World News - December 18, 2009
In a memo to members of their movement, the leaders of the Legionaries of Christ have revealed that a book attributed to their founder, the late Father Marcial Maciel, was mostly copied from an earlier work by a Spanish political leader. El Salterio de Mis Dias (The Psalter of My Days), which had been promoted as the spiritual reflections of Father Maciel during the 1950s, when he was being investigated by the Vatican, is a lightly rewritten version of El Salterio de Mis Horas (The Psalter of My Hours), by Luis Lucia.
The report is the latest in a series of damaging revelations about the behavior of Father Maciel, who for years was revered by members of the Legion of Christ and the affiliated lay movement, Regnum Christi. Earlier this year, leaders of the Legion acknowledged for the first time that they could not deny the misconduct of Father Maciel, which apparently included liaisons with women and the unauthorized spending of large sums of money donated to the religious order.

Missing at cruising speed
I pull trailers with a 2000 F550 and it runs great usually. The other day I was on the way back from a trip pulling our wedge trailer and it started missing. Mostly when you try to accelerate but also at idle and a smooth RPM but it just not as noticable. Then its like someone flipped a switch and the check engine light came on and the truck started running good again. I tried changing the Fuel filter and running lots of anti-gel and injector cleaner through it but that didnt seem to help much.
I'm guessing that my problem is probably some kind of sensor that is dirty or faulty but im not sure as to what. I can pull the codes tomorrow and post them on here if that will help.
It has a Superchips programmer set on Tow Safe mode, 5 inch exhaust and a k&N cone.
I ran into a similar problem, it was a harness under valve cover. I was going to CO. it was rough idle and low RPMs, but good above 2000rpm. the engine needs the computer to run at low rpm but mechanically over comes it at 2000 rpm and above. hope this gives you an idea.
I know that it isnt the harness. At least its very unlikely as I just replaced them with new ones and they only have about a thousand miles on them or so. And this is a 550 with 4.88 rears so i hit 2k RPMs at about 55 mph and I run it at about 70 usually.
Codes that I pulled were P0472, P1209, P0603, P1211, P1212, P0732, P0541, P0237, P0541
And that is pulling the codes once then clearing them driving another hour or two and pulling them again.
It has to be something so simple!! Grrr its killing me!!
My truck did that I don't know the codes but it every time the engine light came on a code came up. Was the harness dealer installed? Most dealers like not doing it right.
The engine absolutely needs the computer through the entire RPM range brother. The computer is actually one of our limiting factors in gaining higher RPM's in performance applications.
Who told you otherwise?
P0237 - Turbo Boost Sensor A Circuit Low Input / MAP sensor code, might come into play here.
P0472 - Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input / I'd probably ignore this, it won't cause the issue you're having.
P0541 - Manifold Intake Air Heater / Ignore, nothing to do with this issue.
P0603 - Internal Control Module KAM Error / Ignore this code anytime you see it. It's caused by resetting the PCM with a hand held tuner more often than not. Not an issue in any case.
P0732 - Gear Two Ratio Error / Are you having trans issues?
P01209 - Injection Control System Pressure Peak Fault / ICP was to high for to long, might come into play.
P01211 - ICP Not Controllable - Pressure Abow/Below Desired / Self explanatory, it's having issues controlling ICP.
P01212 - ICP Voltage Not at Expected Level / IPR code, think we found the culprit.
First, just because you replaced the UVCH's doesn't mean they aren't the problem. More often than not the problem isn't the harness, it's the connector outside the valve cover. It's poorly designed and will loosen up on you. Ford has a wedge that fits in the connection and holds the safety to keep a tight connection. If they're not already installed, you can pick 'em up at a dealer. Or, do a search for the "50 cent mod" and you'll be in business for the price of two quarters.
Now, I think your problem is almost definitely IPR related. The IPR is on the HPOP. HPOP is under the fuel bowl. The IPR threads into the pump, at the bottom of the pump, on the drivers side. There is a two prong/two wire connector going to the brass solenoid on it. The brass solenoid has a stamped brass nut holding it to the IPR. Make sure this nut is tight, and make sure the two prong connection is clean and undamaged. I think that your brass nut has backed off the solenoid and is messing with the voltage.
As for the MAP sensor. During acceleration, the PCM will look at the MAP for a fuel to boost reference. If it's not seeing boost through the MAP, the PCM won't command more fuel to match acceleration and throttle position. This could cause the hesitation and stumble you're reporting. So, check the wiring harness and connector to the MAP sensor as well. I don't think they're very expensive, so if there's nothing visually wrong with your IPR, replace the MAP sensor.
Not sure why you would say that unless you personally have had a bad experience. You can't generalize all dealerships based on that.
Sorry guys, let me explain a little better, I know the truck needs the computer at all times (air/fuel ratio, egts, boost, waste gate, etc.) The harness that went out on my truck was the right side, I cant remember but I think there may have been a sensor but any way from idle to about 1900rpm it ran on only 4 or 6 cyls (I mean bad) after it got past 2000rpm the engine ran fine, I was on my way to CO. from N.M. I pulled in to a ford garage and the tech told me that there something that the engine has to control it while no load is present on the engine but once it gets going it relies on a different area of sensors and he went on and on, I didn't pay much attention to him, when I got home (yes I drove it home the way it was 80mph seem to keep it running normal) I took it to my local dealer my guy was but one of the other techs said a similar explanation, I told him just fix it and its been fine since (thank God for Ford ESP).
I am not a diesel mechanic nor claim to be, I have basic mechanic skills when it come to diesels (fuel filter, oil changes, etc. ) I was just passing the info given to me by a Ford Dealer. Sorry to p.o. anyone.
As for the dealers not doing their jobs I agree it varies greatly from dealer to dealer and not all dealers are the same BUT I have had bad experience with dealers from AZ, TX, CA, UT, CO and NM. The other states were all minor issues (oil change and did not put my oil fill cap on, loose oil filter, loose drain plug, loose fuel filter canister and stuff like that), but, there is more than one local ford dealer out here in NM where I live and of the three big ford dealers one is great, one stole my radio and the other nearly totaled my truck while in service(not my dually a F150 we went to court and they wound up having to replace bumbers, a fender both driver doors, a wheel, a tire and a new driver quarter panel).
Sorry to have misled a fellow member.

The same sensors send info to the PCM through the entire RPM range, and the PCM sends it's commands through the same wiring harness through the entire RPM range.
Find a new tech.
He is not my tech he works the the late shift (after 4 pm.) the tech that I always use was on vacation they had to keep the truck for a week for what ever reason, like I said, I have no knowledge about diesels beyond routine maintenance.
Just a quick update: It was the IPR. The nut was loose but the magnet wasnt off and I tightened it and still had the same problem. So I just rebuilt the IPR and its running perfect ever since.
A little Carb cleaner and diesel fuel is all it took.

I am an itermediate player. After buying two other acustic electric guitars I sent them back. A friend had just bought his Mitchell AJ 220. I really was blown away by this guitars voice unplugged and amazed at the sound of this beauty plugged into my Cube amp. After putting Elixer Nanoweb strings the playability was even more awsome. If your looking for an acustic/electric try this wonderful guitar out.

« Things I Won't Work With: Nitrotetrazole Oxides |
| Roche Has Problems - But RNA Interference Has More »
Posted by Derek
Update: Richard Van Noorden at Nature runs the numbers on this paper, and comes to the same conclusions: you can't use it to say that US papers are more prone to fraud. . .
There's a new paper in the Journal of Medical Ethics looking at fraudulent publications. The author went back and studied the papers in the PubMed database that have been retracted during the last ten years (there are 788 of them), looking for trends. And so far, the press coverage that I've seen of his conclusions seems to be missing the point.
One thing that stands out is that retracted papers tend to come from higher-profile journals. That makes sense to me, because that's (a) where they're more likely to be noticed, and (b) where the editors are more likely to care. As you move down the list, people just seem to start shrugging their shoulders. Has a paper ever been retracted from Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry Letters, for example? I can't think of any, and readers are invited to try to find one themselves.
Another conclusion is that retracted papers tend to come from serial offenders. Over half the retracted papers had a first author who had retracted something else. I think that probably represents cases where someone had published a body of fraudulent work which all got exposed at once, but if that's not a serial offender, I don't know what is.
But a third conclusion is the one getting the headline writers going. The paper examines the retractions, looking for whether they were withdrawn for error or for fraud. The US is notable for having more retractions in the latter category, as compared to the rest of the world: one third of its 260 retracted papers are attributed to fraud, while the rest of the world comes in between 20% and 25%. So you get things like "US Scientists More Likely To Commit Fraud". But no, for that conclusion to be valid, you'd want to know how many fraudulent papers were published as a percentage of the whole output.
Even that wouldn't tell you the whole story. Remember, we're looking at papers that have actually been retracted. Most published fraudulent research never gets to that point. Lower-end journals have a terrible problem with plagiarized, derivative junk. Piles of it gets sent to them, then too much of it gets into print, and it just sits there, with no one ever paying any attention. Well, years later, some poor person might try to reproduce a prep, find that it doesn't work, sigh, and try something else, but otherwise. . .
No, in the same way that the prominent journals are over-represented, I think that the US might be a bit over-represented because slightly more fraud gets caught. More US papers appear in prominent journals than average, and fewer appear in the absolute bottom-rung journals. The United States accounts for at least one-third of the total scientific paper output, so those 260 papers out of 788 are exactly what you'd expect if all other things were equal. But other things aren't equal. We may have more prominent (and more harmful) frauds here, but I'd be willing to bet that as a proportion of the whole, we have fewer of them.
One last note: the figures in this paper seem to conflict with an earlier analysis, which seems to have found fewer retracted papers in PubMed, and a higher proportion of them tainted by fraud. Who's right?

Muddying the waters even further is the fine line of the definition between error and fraud. I have seen several retractions with simple statements such as "we are unable to reproduce these findings" - does that mean there was an error, or fraud? Similarly, you see errata such as "we accidentally posted the wrong figure", which usually means we deliberately posted the wrong one, someone called us out on it, so we had to do a proper one - that's an "error" in name but is really more like fraud.
I'd like to see a similar analysis on errata - there are a surprising number of papers which should probably have also been retracted, but which got by with a simple erratum.

That is nice...."half the retracted papers had a first author who had retracted something else"
In my opinion, if it is PROVED that a professor working for a University (where students are supposed to be educated) is CONTINUOSLY "inventing" substantial amounts of data or "copying" results from other research groups..... the professor should be fired.

I hope that you're not picking on Bioorg Med Chem Lett as part of your duties as a member of the editorial advisory board of ACS Med Chem Lett which competes for the same niche. How often do articles get retracted from J Med Chem?
7. Anonymous on November 17, 2010 12:04 PM writes...
Come on Pete, let's be honest with ourselves. The whole house of El Sevier isn't in the same league as ACS journals. Granted, neither is perfect, but the quality and trustworthiness of the two journals couldn't be more different, and that would be the case whether or not Derek was an editor for one of them. You won't find many people to argue the flipside of his statement and there's good reason for that. The very idea that you would even run a journal that revolves around synthesis of new drug compounds and not require any type of supporting information is ludicrous.
8. Pete on November 17, 2010 12:20 PM writes...
Anonymous 8, You have completely missed the point of my commnent which was about potential conflict of interest and not about the quality of journals (or indeed publishers). Can you answer the question about how often articles are retracted from J Med Chem?
9. Dennis on November 17, 2010 12:54 PM writes...
Pete: No one needs to pay Derek to pick on BMCL. He's been doing it pro bono for years before ACS Med Chem Lett even existed.
10. Wagonwheel on November 17, 2010 1:07 PM writes...
BMCLbashing is common place around these parts and there is no need to go into that one again, but there are still some decent little articles in BMCL. I'm with Pete though, there are some conflict of interest issues...
11. anonymous2 on November 17, 2010 1:13 PM writes...
And the problem is that anon1 is correct in that his complaints don't have much refutation in fact. If your journal exists because med chemists don't like to write papers and SI, and have lots of interesting bio but little chance of actually being reproduced, well, you sort of earned your reputation. Having interesting structures and really interesting structures published in your journal without any indication that someone looked at them before publishing just adds the rotting cherry to the top of the fetid sundae.

Either that or the university should take no action, impose no sanctions, attempt to persuade the research council to fund him/her, and offer the person in question large cash funds to continue "research".
I guess it's either or.
13. Iridium on November 17, 2010 1:50 PM writes...
"I guess it's either or."
I saw it happening..
It should be advised to students that are looking for an academic career:
"Steal" 20-30 publications so you get founding, you get contracts, you get students...
...so what if after a couple of years you have to retreat 3-5 papers?
You have already safely brought home a salary for many years and for more years to come.
14. Danelo on November 18, 2010 12:42 AM writes...
Re: Iridium 10:03 AM
While it might be true that sanctions for committing fraud aren't serious enough, I think what most often happens, as Derek pointed out, is that Prof. Fraudulent publishes, say, 2 papers on Topic X in 2005, 1 in 2006, and 3 in 2007, and then the fraud is discovered in 2010 and the papers are retracted more or less at once.
I think it's rarely if ever the case that Prof. F publishes fraudulent paper(s), gets caught, their institution slaps them on the wrist, they publish more fraudulent paper(s), gets caught, get wrist slap #2, publish more fraudulent papers, etc.
So even if the university did fire Prof. F after the first instance of fraud is uncovered, they would still be a "repeat offender". There's not administration can do up to that point, unless the Provost personally duplicates each experiment in publications from their instituiton. :)
15. gradslave on November 18, 2010 12:55 PM writes...
Just wanted to add here, there are no real mechanisms to fight fraud on the very basic lab level. Say if a grad student knows that papers published by his own PI are not exactly reproducible, what can he do? nothing! it will harm him just as much (if not more) than his PI.
16. Captain Stern on November 18, 2010 1:05 PM writes...
"US Scientists More Likely To Commit Fraud"
This headline would seem to slam Americans. I take offense.
From my perspective most fraud is perpetrated by the lead author acting alone. Even in the USA most first authors are not American.
This is just a gimmick headline designed to bait the 'ugly american'. Newsworthy? Yawn.
17. Tyrosine on November 22, 2010 11:19 PM writes...

Interesting bit of tap-dancing there. Another interpretation might be that not only are more US researchers committing scientific fraud, but the US fraudsters are also too dim-witted to bury the work in lower-tier journals where it won't be discovered. :-)

Facebook plans $10bn May stock offering
Posted By kurtnimmo On January 17, 2012 @ 5:52 am In Hot News,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Juliette Garside
January 17, 2012
Facebook is reportedly preparing to make its stockmarket debut in May, during which the social networking giant could raise $10bn in the world's biggest technology company float. The timetable would mean Facebook would need to file documents for review by America's Securities and Exchange Commission within the next month for its fundraising, the Wall Street Journal said. Facebook is expected to offer a 10% stake, suggesting a $100bn valuation. British financial public relations specialist Brunwick Group is understood to have been appointed to manage the listing, reportedly scheduled for the third week of May. Brunswick represented online deals site Groupon during its initial public offering last year, and is understood to have worked on Facebook's private placing with Goldman Sachs and its clients. Both Brunswick and Facebook declined to comment.

Hi guys
All of the users on my site will be required to choose a custom xprofile type called 'account type' when they register.
There are 5 different types.
Each user can create standard WordPress posts that appear on a top level page called 'posts'.
I need to filter 'posts' further, by these 5 user types to run 5 separate WordPress pages. These would be posts by these authors, filtered by their different xprofile paths.
How can I query by the Xprofile field?
Many thanks,

Elie, I just called my butcher to ask him about this. I reminded him that in this particular recipe they are simply pan seared - he thought about it for a minute and then gave me the deal: The thing about the veal kidneys are that they are going to release a certain amount of liquid during the thawing process, more liquid than they would normally release. In order to get a good effect when cooking them you have to make sure they're really well drained and dry. He said that you should take the time to let them defrost fully in a colander and then wrap them in a clean dish towel and gently squeeze them and pat them completely dry before you put them in the pan to cook. He concluded rather cheerfully that using the frozen kidneys for a recipe like this is "not insurmountable" and that you can still get a quite good result by using frozen. Hope that answers your question.
I think it does. I might pick some up and give them a try in the name of experimentation--tasty experimentation .

even better deal…use your secret reward card and no OOP
Can you use your secret rewards card? And do you need to have a coupon for this?
Yes u can use the secret reward card…just verified with my local store in Atlanta. Offer just states buy a Pink item.. any form of payment is accepted
FYI…The mint tins are not part of the PINK line.
These should be the stores participating:
I checked for Nebraska and the only participating store is at Westroads Mall in Omaha.
Thanks for posting this Sara. I'm in Omaha too but usually do my shopping at Shadow Lake. Looks like I'll be headed a different direction tomorrow. 😊
I live right by shadow lake and its my favorite too!
Earlier today they had 5 buck giftcard on wrapp for free
So has anyone else tried to use the $5 from Wrapp? VS said they wouldn't accept it bc it wasn't their coupon.
Used it at my mall here in SaTX. Manager was real nice about it.
Only one store here in Oklahoma and it is over an hour away, oh well, I just spent my last reward card today so now I am not upset, lol.
Please be aware that VS is marketing sexy underwear to middle school aged girls. The wrong message to send to our daughters. Please show your opposition to exposing our children to such a sexual marketing campaign. Don't buy, no matter how good the deal!!
I have seen this posted before, I have no idea how their marketing is targeting middle school girls when it is dorm room essential as in college. I am the parent therefore my ethics and morals influence my children not a campaign aim at college girls it goes like that for everything else, alcohol, drugs ect. Where are these girls getting the money to purchase these items? anyhow.. thanks for the deal Collin, hope I can pass by tomorrow and score this deal!
As of this spring VS will launch a risqué line targeted at pre-teen and young teenaged girls. The new line is called "Bright Young Things", includes black cheeksters with the word "Wild"embellished on it, green and white hipsters screen printed with "feeling lucky", and a lace trimmed thing saying "Call Me" on the front. As a mom of 7, including teenaged boys this sort of targeted marketing is not okay. If you support this kind of business practice, buy away. My children are dressed modestly. Not in baggy floor length skirts and turtlenecks. In a world with evolving morals, what is next??? What about the young models they use to model the underwear? Just something to think about.
No, it's the PINK line targeted to college age during Spring Break. Youre wrong. Did you even see the ads? Do research before spurting off "boycott!"
Yes, I read the press release. It's not the Pink line. It is a separate line called" Bright Young Things". Google it
No, it is PINK. It was their way of advertising for Spring Break. Geez Louise, get your non-PINK panties from a bunch and you "google it."
Sorry, I missed that it is part of the Pink line. You can find the information by looking up the Huffington Post. It is targeting young girls!! Buy away if you choose. My hope is not to change your mind, but get the info out there for those it matters to.
I googled it. The only thing I saw were articles complaining about it, but the pictures that I saw were all of adult women. I think there's a miscommunication here. One person can confuse everyone.
There is also an article about the line on buzzfeed with quote from the CFO of Victoria's Secret
As her mom if I don't like i don't buy it. If she borrows it from her friend it gets thrown away. Her friend will never let her borrow things like thatagain. And frankly, I've seen similar at wet seal and aerie. But that doesn't mean I won't shop there. It's a parents choice what their children wear/own- low cut tops or baggy jeans or floor length skirts and turtlenecks.
Last time I looked I was the only one earning money so therefor I decide what my kids wear!… And agreed if it comes in my house it will go out in the trash!… As for me I love VS!
Doing that will just make your kids rebel. I've been wearing VS since I was in middle school.
I see nothing in this line that is targeted to girls under college age. I just Googled and it all looks to be the usual PINK line, for girls in college or out of high school.
Can you please take your boycott to Victorias Secret and not to Hip2Save's blog? I think the mothers that follow this blog are well aware of what their daughters wear and don't need you getting in their face with your rants. Not only that you clog the blog with ramblings nobody wants to hear you ramble about. Its plain and simple, if you don't like VS then so be it but leave the people alone that do.
I have my opinion and you have yours. If you are well aware of there business practices and still feel good about your purchase, good for you!!! I care about my children's virtue and I'm sure everyone here feels the same. I feel like giving gals info lets them make a better informed decision, even if they have an opposing opinion. Some responses from others have been plain rude. Here's to being kind to one another, even when we disagree.
I'm not trying to be rude just don't think this is the place for someone to campaign against VS. Most of the people that buy from VS don't live under a rock and probably already know the information you are trying to inform them of. We all care about our children's virtue and I'm sure most of the moms aren't buying this stuff for their young children but if they are then that's their choice.
Sorry Collin about the debate on your post. I'm stopping here and won't drag it out anymore. Thanks for all you do in informing us of great deals.
So does this count for online orders as well?
Thank you so much for this post Collin because the cashier totally forgot about it, so I show her this post, and she went and grabbed the polish for me :D. Actually, you have to purchase from the PINK collection, not just any product with pink color :(. But you can buy the mini mist from PINK collection only $10 (regular price is $15).
Used my secret reward on a pair of PINK leggings that came to 9.50 after 10 reward. Got a free panty for joining PINK NATION, as well as the PINK polish. All told the total was 41.34 with tax. My OPP was 10.67! Could have used my secret reward on a freebie but I really needed leggings and these are nice and no-show thru on the booty! THANKS for positing about such a great deal!
Does anyone want to trade a $10 victorias secret rewards card with me, I have two! Even better if anyone has a starbucks giftcard let me know asap, expires tomorrow!
Me and my mom get 10 – 20 $ coupons to Victoria Secret It rocks

Low-Key Coastal Town
I'm looking for suggestions for a low-key coastal town in Italy where it's possible to swim in late June. Travelling without a car but would rent one if it's worth getting to the right spot.
I'm looking for suggestions for a low-key coastal town in Italy where it's possible to swim in late June. Travelling without a car but would rent one if it's worth getting to the right spot.
Check out the beaches in Puglia. Very low-key and beautiful. But hard to get to. That usually goes with "low-key".
Which area? The Italian coast is 8,000km long (5,000 miles) and you can swim everywhere in late June (even early June).
We loved Senigallia on the Adriatic coast. Long golden sand beach with lots of hotels and restaurants near beach, easy access from train station. No car needed.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was wondering if the waters along the Amalfi Coast and Riveria would be a tad chilly in June. I've been in Spain and France in June and the waters there were cold. I've been to Croatia in June and the Adriatic is lovely so perhaps Puglia as a few suggest is the best bet. (We are travelling with our 8-year-old daughter so after seeing all the sites in Rome, Siena and Venice we thought we'd owe her some beach time!)
Not chilly but both at the 5 terre (and most of the Ligurian Riviera) and Amalfi coast the coast is cliffy and rocky with very small pebble beaches. Above all the water depth drops quickly therefore you need to keep an eye on your small girl. The Med is generally calm like a lake, so waves shouldn't be a problem unless it's a rough windy day.
I'm truly not working for the Senigallia tourist board, but it would be a perfect place for an 8-year-old. We were wishing we had our granddaughters with us last October. The beach is wide, with soft sand, and slopes gently into the sea, so you can walk a long ways out into the water before it gets deep. There are no big waves, or rocks under the water. And many beach-front hotels have play areas for children right on the beach. You could sit at a restaurant, on the sand, under an umbrella, with a cool drink while she plays to her heart's content. And then you can have a lovely dinner with fresh homemade pasta and fresh seafood for 10 euros. Senigallia is about 2 hours by train from Bologna, and there are lots of hotels within 10 minutes walking from the train station.
I don't work for any Tourist board, however if your itinerary does not pass anywhere near Senigallia, that's a long way for you to detour to find beaches that could be found virtually anywhere in the Italian Peninsula. For example if you are going to Florence/Pisa/CT, Rome and Naples, going to Senigallia would be a major detour and distance. There are hundreds of miles of beaches and beach towns along the coast between La Spezia and Naples that are way nicer than Senigallia. Puglia has definitely nicer beaches than Senigallia, but also in this case if you are not going anywhere close to Puglia it's a long detour to take just for a day or two at the beach. So the question again is: what is your itinerary? Tell us and I can tell you of plenty of "low key" (whatever that means!) beach locations near your intended itinerary.
Thanks for the suggestions. We are in the very early planning stages of our trip but we are flying in and out of Rome, and at this point considering Siena and Venice. We're looking at domestic flights to get somewhere farther away if need be. But we're completely open at this point. Low-key for me means - quiet, off the beaten path a bit - no casinos, discos, big hotels, hordes of tourists etc. Just somewhere we can chill for 4 or 5 days but absorb the culture too.
The Lido of Venice has a beach, I've been told.

An Original Big Timin' Cool Chick
There are little and big things throughout the day that validate my intelligence or rob me of it entirely. It isn't even just intelligence that I feel robbed of, sometimes it is just straight street cred. Obviously I feel way more violated having lost my street cred. It's always been cooler to look like I was part of 3LW than to be some Jeopardy know-it-all. I hate playing Jeopardy with people who know more than one answer in a row and who don't even scream it out fast and in a strange, high voice because for them it's not surprising at all that they are a brain-box full of knowledge. Duh. When I am in a room full of people watching Jeopardy, or even just one other person (because there always has to be an audience when I am doing anything great) answering a question correctly before anyone else can spit it out (even if it's at the exact same time someone else answers but I say it louder so it looks like I was first) is something that makes me feel unstoppable the rest of the day and depending on the level of difficulty, maybe the rest of the week.
When I choose to back my car into a space and I have passengers in my car (I would only do this with passengers in my car to witness, obvi.) and I successfully back my dodge up into a spot with two other empty spots on either side, I am some sort of big timin' cool chick. Even just saying "big timin' cool chick" shows how cool I must be because who else says that-right? No one, I'm original. An original big timin' cool chick.
Also, If I happen to overhear a conversation that I am definitely not a part of but it involves some sort of big news story and I then repeat that information later by using key words I retained from before, I am all of a sudden Nancy Grace or Kelly Couric or Matt Lauer – look at how impressive my knowledge of newsies is? People with news stories are responsible for completely catapulting conversations among strangers that allow you to look cool and sophisticated and just sit back and watch friendships form and excitement develop and all the credit is yours, you little Barbara Walters you.
There are rare, rare moments that I spend privately contemplating bigger issues that stun me and leave me feeling vacant of the knowledge pertinent to win game shows. Yesterday, it was required of me to enter my time zone on this order form. I pulled up my list of choices and could not find one that sounded just right. I sat there and kept playing back the narration in previews for shows but all I could hear was "(voice moving up and down) and 10:30 Central." I could repeat it out loud and even say it with expression and still no answer showed itself. I looked at these timezones and read the names of potentials in the place of a voice that just blurred out important information in his own excited way and nothing seemed to fit. I even tried to understand what the parentheses and the numbers meant beside each time zone but the times were all on the hour and my computer's clock was flashing 9:32 so I thought that I was suddenly living in a timezone that didn't exist. I had no other choice. I did what anyone else would do in that sort of pickle. I called my dad. Dads, they just always have all the answers. My dad can tell me what the light means on my dashboard when I describe him the shape it looks like. He can tell me where I am and how to get home when I am so angry to my GPS I can't even look at her and when I can't even tell him where I am except that I feel like I am pretty close to an Arby's and I am pretty sure that if I keep driving I will end up getting murdered by the people who murder people when they get lost. So a tricky little thing detail like the time zone we live in won't be any new feat for him.
I think we can all agree that we've had silly little moments where we maybe took an 8th grade field trip to D.C. coming back with unsettling disappointment when we didn't even get to see the Statue of Liberty. Or innocently asking a Canadian friend if they had their own Canadian version of "The Olympics" in their Country? We all have our moments but thank goodness for the shining times where we remember that aardvark has two a's because of an episode of Arthur in 4th grade or that we know that exercise creates endorphins which make you happy from Legally Blonde or Vitamin D. It does not matter if we do not know what good Vitamin D is or any other sources of it besides tanning beds. What matters is that we know and if we know these things and we can use our incredible combination of street cred and intellect to solve a people crossword, we can do anything!

Outstanding. I used all chicken broth instead of half beef and half chicken. This now goes onto the holiday list.flag if inappropriate
Excellent with a few tweaks. I have made this with veal cutlets and pork cutlets, both work well. I pound the pork a little to flatten and decrease cooking time. The sauce is a little too rich. I decrease the cream by at least 25% and add a touch more brandy. Serve over a small portion of mashed potatoes and garnish the plate with spring peas and fresh chive. The plate is a little too brown without the vegetable. This is a great entertaining dish since it is not too labor intensive. I make the sauce before company comes, have the mashed potatoes or whatever starch sitting in a double boiler and the green vegetable already made. The only cooking is a quick 5-10 minute trip to the kitchen to prepare the veal and shrimp a a quick sauce re-heat.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was great! I made a couple substitutions though: I swapped out the veal for 6 oz skinless salmon filets (did not bread them) to make it healthier and I also used pre-cooked shrimp to save time. The flavor in the sauce was fantastic and it worked beautifully with the fish. Only thing I really think is worth noting is that quality of brandy matters - the better the brandy, the smoother and more "buttery" the sauce.flag if inappropriate
Should be a Blue Ribbon Recipe... We actually like it with scallops instead of shrimp.flag if inappropriate
This was incredible!! I used thin sliced shallots in place of the redonion, I also cutthe recipe in half as it was only for my husband and I but I still used the 6 tablespoons of brandy the rcipe called for..it was devine. My husband asked if we could have it again tonight!!! LOL!!flag if inappropriate
A nice elegant dinner and an unusual combination of veal and shrimp.flag if inappropriate
I made this for company on Friday night and it was really yummy. I of course made a couple adjustments....I did not use a red onion, but instead used a couple of large shallots, halved and thinly sliced. I also did omitted the shrimp...I just don't think you HAVE to have them. I also did things in a different order so that I could minimize my cooking while the guests were there...I browned the veal first, wiped out the pan, made the sauce, and then just turned off the heat and covered the pan w/the sauce in it till we were ready to eat (and reheated the veal in the oven on a cookie sheet). Be sure to season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste before serving. Got rave reviews and clean plates!flag if inappropriate
Love this recipe. Make it often using pounded out pork tenderloin slices if I can't find the right cut of veal. Have also used the sauce over chicken breasts and steak. I also like to substitue baby bella mushrooms as they tend to hold up better during the cooking process.flag if inappropriate
For a slightly different twist (because I only had a small amt of veal), I cut the veal into thin strips and cooked them stir-fry style. Finished by re-warming the sauce with the meat and seafood, then served it over egg noodles (like a stroganoff) with some King Crab I had in the freezer in place of the shrimp. Used half & half instead of whipping ceam and it was sufficiently rich- I'd even go 10% next time. The only thing to think about is keeping the intitial sauce reserve fairly thin, because the floured veal strips will thicken the sauce rather quickly when brought together to warm. Hubby raved. Kid licked plate.flag if inappropriate
This recipe was sinfully rich and delicious. I used already cooked shrimp and just heated them slightly in the butter. I served the veal topped with the shrimp and sauce over a bed of whipped/mashed parsnips. I will definitely make it again - for guests next time.flag if inappropriate

CONSUMER REPORTS: Dangerous medical devices
You may think if a doctor prescribes a medical treatment, it's been thoroughly tested. But that's not always the case. A Consumer Reports' investigation found some medical devices like defibrillators and joint replacements may not even be tested at all.
Dr. Stephen Tower is an orthopedic surgeon. When the arthritis in his hip became too hard to bear, he opted for a metal-on-metal hip. But the new hip, he says, caused him so much pain, exhaustion, and depression that he had to have it removed. The tissues around the hip had been destroyed, and metal debris was spreading down his thigh. Tower says normal friction in the artificial joint caused cobalt, a toxic metal, to be released into his body, leading to serious tissue, heart, brain, and thyroid problems.
Consumer Reports says this particular type of hip, called the ASR XL, was made of chrome cobalt metal, but it was never clinically tested before the FDA cleared it to be sold. Because of high failure rates and complications like Dr. Tower experienced, it's now off the market.
While metal-on-metal hips have been widely criticized, a Consumer Reports' investigation has found that there are other dangerous devices that are being implanted.
Hundreds of thousands of women have had mesh slings inserted to support internal organs as they age, such as the uterus and bladder. Again, those products were never clinically tested before being marketed for that use.
The FDA's own database shows thousands of complaints about the mesh, including debilitating infections. Yet it's still on the market—not even classified as high-risk.
Consumer Reports believes that the FDA should require rigorous testing for implantable devices, just as they do for prescription drugs.
Consumer Reports also urges creating a national registry to keep track of implanted medical devices and to be able to alert patients if there is a problem. Currently there is no such tracking in the U.S., and it's estimated only a fraction of device problems actually do get reported.
Complete Ratings and recommendations on all kinds of products, including appliances, cars & trucks, and electronic gear, are available on Consumer Reports' website. Subscribe to ConsumerReports.org.

Three killed in KwaZulu-Natal crashes
Two people, including a policewoman, were killed after being struck by a minibus taxi while directing traffic at the scene of another accident.
Two people, including a policewoman, were killed after being struck by a minibus taxi while directing traffic at the scene of another accident on the N2 highway north of Durban on Saturday morning.
KwaZulu-Natal transport department spokesperson Nonkululeko Mbatha said that while all the details were not immediately available, she could confirm that there had been a collision between a truck and a van on the N2 near Umhlali, about 40km north of Durban.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said that the policewoman, who is believed to have been stationed at the Umhlali police station, was "dismembered" and killed instantly.
The woman's colleague was injured and taken to Durban's Umhlanga hospital in a critical condition. Three other people were taken to nearby hospitals and were described as being in a serious condition.
The N2 northbound was closed to traffic, which was being diverted along the R102. It was not immediately clear when the highway would reopen.
It could also not be confirmed what had happened to the driver of the taxi.
Meanwhile, another person was reported to have died in Durban in the early hours of Saturday morning after the vehicle in which he was travelling collided with a truck.
Botha said that the passenger in the bakkie was killed instantly, while the driver was taken to Durban's Addington Hospital. - Sapa
