Academic Freedom
- Tension has been ratcheted up in the debate about the threat to academic freedom in Israel after two recent developments escalated concern. The first was a letter sent by the campaigning organisation, Im Tirtzu, to the president of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Rivka Carmi, calling for her "to put an end to the anti-Zionist tilt" among lecturers in its politics and government department. Should she fail to do so, the group said it would try to dissuade students from studying in the department and donors from giving money to the university. The second is a similar initiative from the Institute for Zionist Strategies, which targeted sociology departments within Israeli universities for their alleged teaching of "post-Zionism" and "anti-State theories". It is not the first time that these organisations - as well as others such as Isracampus and NGO Monitor - have been critical of the political make-up of the Israeli academy. But the nature and timing of their latest interventions have produced a far stronger response than before.[1]

- The London-based newspaper, The Sunday Times, carried out an undercover investigation of Stephen Payne, a lobbyist and member of the U.S. Homeland Security Advisory Council. Caught on video, which the newspaper published online, Payne offered to arrange meetings with high-level Bush administration officials for a former Kyrgyzstan president in exchange for $750,000. Approximately $250,000 of Payne's fee would go to the future George W. Bush Presidential Library as a donation. The rest of the money would go to Payne's consulting firm, Worldwide Strategic Partners. [2]

- In 2001, the American Journal of Kidney Diseases published an article that touted the use of synthetic vitamin D. Its author was listed as Alex J. Brown, an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
- But recently, that same article was featured as a work sample by a different person: Michael Anello, a free-lance medical writer, who posted a summary of it on his Web site. Mr. Anello says he was hired to write the article by a communications firm working for Abbott Laboratories, which makes a version of the vitamin D product. Dr. Brown agrees he got help in writing but says he redid part of the draft.[9]
- In the case of the vitamin D article, Dr. Brown says Abbott asked him to write it but he didn't have time. He had written an earlier article on the subject. "They said they would have one of their people write it, update my old review article and I would check it," he recalls. Mr. Anello, a Milwaukee writer who studied biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin, says he wrote the new article. "I've done a lot of ghostwriting jobs," he says, adding that sometimes he works closely with the named authors.
- Dr. Brown says he had to rewrite "at least 30 percent to 40 percent" of Mr. Anello's draft. In retrospect, he says, he probably should have asked Abbott who Mr. Anello was and "if that person should be acknowledged." Abbott said the article's content was "under the complete discretion" of Dr. Brown and didn't discuss details. The journal's managing editor declined to comment because the journal is under new management.
- Following questions from The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Anello removed the article summary from his Web site. Until recently, his online bibliography listed other scientific publications he has written under others' bylines that have yet to be published. The byline on one was "author to be named."[10]

Page 4 of 6 Top Think Tanks for Innovative Ideas
- 1. Cato Institute Cato's libertarian stance, once viewed as fringe, is now considered respectable. With its anti-incumbent, anti-Washington attitude, Cato has antagonized liberals with its push to privatize Social Security, as well as conservatives with its vigorous opposition to the Iraq war.
- 2. Brookings Institution From heathcare reform to recommendations on closing the prison at Guantánamo Bay, Brookings has a breadth of expertise that allows it to offer innovative fixes for nearly every critical issue facing the United States today.
- 3. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Carnegie's role in opposing the invasion of Iraq and providing critical research on issues such as Iran's and North Korea's nuclear weapons programs places it at the heart of some of Washington's defining policy debates.
Best New Think Tanks (of the last 5 years)
- 1. European Council on Foreign Relations Populated by European heavyweights like Nobel Peace Prize laureate Martti Ahtisaari and former German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, the ECFR aims to craft a common foreign policy for an increasingly integrated Europe.
- 2. Bruegel Funded by EU member states and located in Brussels, Bruegel specializes in driving European economic growth and making the continent more competitive in the global economy.
- 3. Center for American Progress Thanks to its all-star roster of experts and savvy use of new media, CAP has emerged as the intellectual center of Democratic D.C.
Most Impact on Public Policy Debates
- 1. Brookings Institution When important debates occur in Washington—whether over Middle East peace, global finance, or urban strategy—it's a fair bet that Brookings is driving the conversation.
- 2. Heritage Foundation A partisan approach, obsession with the latest policy issues, an effective marketing strategy, and proximity to the seat of power (it is steps away from the U.S. Congress) give Heritage an influential edge.

The Think Tank Index Think Tank Fast Facts
There are 5,465 think tanks worldwide. Breakdown:
* 1,872 in North America
* 1,208 in Western Europe * 653 in Asia * 538 in Latin America and the Caribbean * 514 in Eastern Europe * 424 in sub-Saharan Africa * 218 in the Middle East and North Africa * 38 in Oceania
* There are 1,777 think tanks in the United States. * Nine out of 10 U.S. think tanks were created since 1951. * The number of U.S. think tanks has more than doubled since 1980. * Approximately 350 think tanks are based in Washington, more than in any country other than the United States.
The Think Tank Index Methodology
Prior to launching the Think Tank Index, extensive research was conducted to develop a comprehensive list of all think tanks in the world. Relying on previous studies, think tank directories and databases, and experts in the field, 5,465 institutions worldwide were identified for inclusion in the study.
To create a more manageable list from which to identify leading think tanks, an international group of scholars, think tank executives, public and private donors, and policymakers were then asked to nominate think tanks they consider to be the best in the world. These experts used selection criteria such as a think tank's ability to retain elite scholars and analysts; access to elites in policymaking, media, and academia; media reputation; reputation with policymakers; scholarly output; and usefulness of the organization's information, among others. This effort resulted in a list of approximately 400 think tanks worldwide that were then included in the Think Tank Impact Survey.
The Think Tank Impact Survey was then sent to hundreds of think tank scholars, think tank executives, and government and NGO personnel who fund think tanks. More than 150 responses from this panel of experts were received. These respondents ranked the list of think tanks by region and research area, the results of which are seen here.

Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fibre. They are also usually low in fat. Most of us do not eat enough fruit and vegetables. You need to aim to eat at least five portions a day. Different types and colours of fruits and vegetables contain different nutrients. Try to have a wide variety of fruits and vegetables from each of the colour groups: green, yellow, red, purple, orange and white.
People who have a diet high in fruit and vegetables may have a lower risk of heart disease. It may also reduce the risk of developing some types of cancer, such as cancers of the mouth, throat and lung.
Fruit and vegetables should make up about a third of the food we eat every day.
The following each count as one portion:
- one apple or one banana
- a slice of melon
- two small fruits, such as kiwi fruits or plums
- a handful of berries (strawberries, blackberries or blueberries)
- a small can of tinned pineapple or a few slices of fresh pineapple
- a glass of orange or apple juice (this only counts once a day)
- one whole vegetable, for example a courgette or a small pepper
- three heaped tablespoons of diced carrots or shredded cabbage
- a cereal bowl of mixed salad
- seven cherry tomatoes
- two broccoli florets
- three heaped tablespoons of peas or lentils.
Tips for eating more fruit and vegetables:
- Have a mixed salad as a starter or as a side dish with your main meal.
- Reduce meat portions and replace with larger servings of vegetables and salad.
- If you need a snack between meals, choose fresh fruit.
- Frozen vegetables and tinned fruit in juice (not syrup) are just as healthy as fresh ones and can be cheaper.
- Eat fruit and vegetables cooked in dishes such as soups, stews and pasta.
- Try to avoid adding butter, rich sauces or dressings to your vegetables and salads. This will increase the calories you eat and drink. But you can include them if you are trying to gain weight.

Aching or heavy legs - what the experts say
Causes of aching or heavy legs
The sensation of heavy or aching legs is related to a loss of firmness and elasticity of the vein walls, which causes a slowing of blood circulation in the veins. Because of this, the veins dilate and blood pressure increases. Valves, the small flaps that normally keep blood from flowing back down the leg veins, have difficulty maintaining this pressure and progressively become deficient. Resistance to leaks weakens and blood stagnates in the lower portion of the veins, which further impairs vein walls. A vicious circle takes hold.
