text: Science is not immune to the foibles that plague ordinary, not-parked-at-a-lab-bench citizens. But mistakes made in a lab can be dangerous, and even deadly. Misleading or faulty scientific reports can send other scientists astray, wasting years of time and hard-earned research grants. Badly designed apps and poorly analyzed data can help lose a presidential election. Every year, a number of scientists are caught in various forms of misbehavior. Now, some scientists even study the misdeeds of others. Here are some of the most notable examples of science-related errors, missteps and dishonesty in 2012, ranging from the mildly amusing to the truly deadly. Above: Pharmaceutical Distributor Contaminates Drug, Causes Outbreak In early October, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a deadly disease outbreak. Taking the form of fungal meningitis, the outbreak has since been linked to tainted batches of steroids used to control back pain. But the drugs weren't made by a drug manufacturer. They came from a compounding pharmacy, a facility that mixes its own drugs and distributes them. Now, more than 600 cases have been reported and 40 people have died. The CDC estimates that some 14,000 people in 19 states are at risk for exposure. Fungal meningitis, mostly caused in this outbreak by Exserohilum rostratum, is not contagious. The infections resulted from spinal injections of contaminated steroids, such as methylprednisolone acetate. The tainted medications originated at the New England Compounding Center, which sent 17, 676 potentially contaminated vials to 23 states. As New Scientist reported, such outbreaks aren't uncommon and are perhaps a disturbing indicator of lax regulations. Compounding facilities aren't held to the same safety standards as drug manufacturers, and aren't regulated by the FDA. Now, the federal government is considering new legislation leading to tighter regulations on compounding pharmacies; the New England Compounding Center has since been closed and is under investigation.

(CDC)*Monkeyed Business Marc Hauser, former professor of psychology at Harvard University, fabricated data, manipulated results, and incorrectly described the methods used in some of his studies of cognition in primates, the U.S. Government's Office of Research Integrity concluded in September. Hauser resigned from Harvard in July 2011 after a three-year-long investigation of his lab's activities. Before that, he had been well known for his studies that blended evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology. Hauser neither confirmed nor denied the report's conclusions, but did take responsibility "for all errors made within the lab, whether or not I was directly involved."

(Ltshears/Wikimedia Commons)Not So Fast, Neutrinos In February, last year's unbelievable report of neutrinos traveling faster than light was officially deemed "unbelievable" when scientists from the OPERA collaboration at Italy's Gran Sasso National Laboratory suggested a faulty cable connection may have produced the discovery. A fiber optic cable relaying GPS data wasn't quite plugged in to the experiment's main timer, producing data suggesting that neutrinos fired from CERN, in Switzerland, arrived in Italy 60 nanoseconds earlier than physically possible. After tightening the cable connection and repeating the experiment, scientists found the neutrinos behaving as expected. Though Einstein (and special relativity) fared well in the aftermath of the debacle, some OPERA scientists had a bit of a bad time: Spokesman Antonio Ereditato of The University of Bern and physics coordinator Dario Autiero of France's Institute of Nuclear Physics both resigned, citing intra-team difficulties. Image: OPERAForensic Fraud Also in the Boston area, forensic chemist Annie Dookhan was accused of faking drug test results in criminal cases. Thousands of them. Dookhan handled more than 60,000 samples related to 34,000 defendants over her nine years working in a state-run crime lab. Reportedly, she was the most productive of the lab's chemists. But instead of testing all those samples for the presence of drugs, Dookhan allegedly only tested a fraction, and then made up results for the remainder. The lab closed in August; since then, more than 200 defendants have been released from prison while their attorneys challenge convictions based on the lab's results. In December, a Massachusetts grand jury indicted Dookhan on 17 counts of obstruction of justice, eight counts of tampering with evidence, perjury, and pretending to hold a college degree. Image: Annie Dookhan leaves the courthouse. (Joe Spurr/WBUR)The Higgs Boson Is Accidentally Announced Early This summer, CERN inadvertently revealed the Higgs boson's discovery a bit prematurely. On July 3 — the day before the official Higgs press conference — a video was accidentally published on CERN's website in which CMS spokesman Joe Incandela spoke of "a new particle," described as perhaps the biggest physics discovery "in the last 30 or 40 years." Not long afterward, the video went and hid in a password-protected corner of the lab's website. CERN's official explanation? It was one of several filmed, produced to cover all possible outcomes of the Higgs announcement. Right. Video: CERNAllow Myself to Review ... Myself When scientists publish work in peer-reviewed journals, it means that other scientists have reviewed the work. Or does it? Sometimes, the "scientists" who reviewed a paper aren't other scientists at all. Instead, in what appeared to be the trend this year, sometimes the reviews are provided by the paper's authors or friends. In February, journal publisher Elsevier retracted a paper by Guang-Zhi He of the Guiyang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in China after learning that he had offered up false e-mail addresses and impersonated his paper's reviewers. As Ivan Oransky at Retraction Watch describes, Elsevier became suspicious after observing that many of the reviewers' e-mails were directing to web domains in China — though some of the supposed reviewers weren't in China. In August, the same thing happened again. But this time, it led to more than 30 retractions. Korean researcher Hyung-In Moon, who studies plant compounds, had also submitted false reviewer e-mails, and then he or his colleagues wrote the favorable reviews. Too quickly, it seems. Retraction Watch reports that the scheme was revealed when a journal editor noticed that most of the reviews were coming back within 24 hours — way too fast. When asked, Moon admitted to his fabrications. In September, more false reviews were discovered, this time of mathematics papers, though it isn't clear who submitted the fraudulent contact information. Image: Give yourself the thumbs up. (.reid./Flickr)Retraction Winner An unofficial winner emerged this year: Yoshitaka Fujii, winner of the rather dubious honor of Most Retracted Papers, with 172 falsified reports. Assuming all of those publications are retracted the Japanese anesthesiologist will wrest the title from German anesthesiologist Joachim Boldt, who has racked up a comparatively paltry 90 retractions. In July, a panel assembled by the Japanese Society of Anesthesiologists concluded that Fujii had fabricated results in studies published between 1993 and 2011. Of the 212 studies examined, the committee could only find three that appeared legit. The fabricated reports described such things as controlled trials that never happened, using patients that don't exist and medications that were never administered. Image: Agent Smith/FlickrSocially Unacceptable In late November, three investigative panels issued the final report in the saga of admitted fraudster Diederik Stapel, a social psychologist formerly on faculty at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. In 2011, Stapel admitted to fabricating data; so far, his imaginative handiwork extends to 55 science papers and book chapters, as well as 10 graduate dissertations. The panel's report not only cites Stapel for bad behavior, but takes a shot at the entire field of social psychology. As Science reports, the panel paints "an image of a "sloppy" research culture," and a field whose experts practice flawed science. Indeed, a section of the report titled, "Failure of scientific criticism" says, "Virtually nothing of all the impossibilities, peculiarities and sloppiness mentioned in this report was observed by all these local, national and international members of the field, and no suspicion of fraud whatsoever arose." The Executive Committee of the European Association of Social Psychology shot back, describing the Stapel report as "unacceptably flawed" and calling its suggestion that the field shares Stapel's flaws as "defamatory, unfounded, and false." Image: One of Stapel's retracted papers suggested that a littered street was conducive to discrimination. (Bruno Alves/Flicker)Scientist Has His Eye on the Nobel Prize Did the Nobel prize committee make a mistake this year? Rongxiang Xu, a Chinese scientist and founder of MEBO International, thinks so. Xu claims to have played a major role in advancing the field of regenerative medicine, and in December, he sued Sweden's Karolinska Institute, which awards the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, for defaming his reputation in the field. The lawsuit suggests that statements made about Nobel prize winners John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka ignored Xu's contributions to the field of cellular reprogramming. "My main priority for filing this suit was to clarify the Academy's mistaken and misleading statements for the preservation of humanity and future generations," Xu said, iin a statement. In awarding the 2012 Nobel prize in Medicine, the prize committee cited Gurdon's 1962 success in cloning frogs by introducing a mature frog cell nucleus into an egg, and Yamanaka's 2006 experiments demonstrating that just a few genes are needed to return adult mouse cells to an embryonic state. Xu claims that he uncovered the existence of a "regenerative cell" in 1984 while studying treatments for burn victims, and that the Nobel prize citation incorrectly attributed the achievement in its prize citation. The Nobel Assembly issued a statement stating that Xu's name had never been suggested to them. Images: Upper left: Winners of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Sir John B.

After obtaining patient consent, the two surgeons, J. Paul Muizelaar and Rudolph Schrot, had infected three glioblastoma patients with Enterobacter aerogenes bacteria. Two of the patients quickly died from sepsis, the third lived for another year. The pair had based their work on the controversial theory that post-operative "probiotic" infections can trigger life-prolonging immune responses. Muizelaar and Schrot reportedly thought the experimental procedure was FDA approved. It wasn't. Turns out, introducing a biological agent into an experimental surgery requires additional regulatory steps. Muizelaar is now on leave from the university. Image: Phalinn/FlickrPolitical Killer Mitt Romney's data science team might be experiencing some internal conflicts after making a mess of real-time election data collection in November. On election day, the team deployed a web app called ORCA. It should have provided the team with accurate data on who was showing up to vote in key locations, so that campaign headquarters could strategerize about getting out the vote. Except the app — supposedly accessible by thousands of smartphone-wielding volunteers in the field — didn't work. It didn't live in an app store, but on a website. It had an "https" URL, and typing "www" or "http" didn't redirect users to the right site. When volunteers could get to the right place, logins and passwords didn't work. And then the app crashed. Massive fail, and an embarrassment to the real marine mammals. Orcas are bad-ass killer whales who do things like coordinate efforts to wave-wash seals off tiny icebergs. If they lived on land, orcas would undoubtedly come after this fail-whale of a system. Image: Spencer Wright/FlickrFalse Heart Another tale of the too-good-to-be-true involves Japanese researcher Hisashi Moriguchi, who claimed to have conducted the first clinical test using reprogrammed stem cells in humans. In it, Moriguchi supposedly transformed adult cells into heart cells, which he then transplanted into six patients with heart failure. Moriguchi, claiming to have affiliations with both Harvard Medical School and the University of Tokyo, presented the results of his "experiment" in a poster at a meeting of the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported the accomplishment. Scientists and reporters quickly suggested something was amiss. In response to inquiries, Moriguchi admitted he only discussed the procedure with five of the six reported transplant patients (he maintains the first actually did happen). He's also not affiliated with Harvard University, publishes grand claims in ways that circumvent the normal peer review process, and includes "collaborators" on his papers who aren't aware of the work being done. Subsequently, the University of Tokyo dismissed Moriguchi, and Yomiuri Shimbun took disciplinary actions against some of it news staff. Image: Heart muscle cells. (akay/Flickr)Science Is Outlawed In June, North Carolina lawmakers approved a bill (HB 819) requiring the state's Coastal Resources Commission to plan only for sea levels rising at a rate based on historical records. In other words, coastal planners are banned from considering models that might produce accelerating sea level rise because of things like rising global temperatures and melting polar ice caps. Sea levels have risen less than 10 inches along the North Carolina in the past century; scientists had suggested sea levels might rise by as much as 39 inches before 2100. As Stephen Colbert put it, "If your science gives you a result that you don't like, pass a law saying that the result is illegal. Problem solved." In July, lawmakers voted to revise the bill, which now bans the consideration of non-linear models only until July 2016. In August, the bill became law.

(USGS)Felix Gives NASA the Bull Felix Baumgartner rode a balloon into the stratosphere, dove out of it — from 128,100 feet up — was in free fall for more than 4 minutes, broke the sound barrier, landed gently on Earth, and emerged talking smack about NASA and Richard Branson. Among other comments, Baumgartner suggested to The Daily Telegraph that NASA's exploration of Mars is a waste of money. "That little knowledge we get from Mars I don't think it does make sense," Baumgartner said to the Telegraph. Then he took a swing at Richard Branson, suggesting that trying to break the high-altitude jump record — by dropping someone off a Virgin Galactic spaceplane, "Sounds like kind of a joke because it looks like he wants to use our positive momentum and gain publicity on his side and that is kind of lame." Twitter parody account @SarcasticRover had a few bits to offer in response, including "I hope #Felix remembers to thank NASA for practically EVERY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT that helped make him the man he is today."

Gorham man pleads guilty to child sex-abuse charges
Michael Emerson sentenced to eight years in prison
A Gorham man cried and admitted he was a pedophile before he was sentenced to eight years in prison Thursday morning on charges he sexually abused children.
Michael Emerson, 48, pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual contact in Cumberland County Court. He was arrested last September on multiple counts of unlawful sexual contact involving two girls under the age of 12. A week later, he was arrested on charges of gross sexual assault and unlawful sexual contact after the parents of a boy went to police after seeing news coverage of his initial arrest.
In court on Thursday, prosecutor Matt Tice outlined some of the facts in the case had Emerson gone trial. Tice said Emerson had sexually abused one girl while riding with her in a golf cart.
The uncle of one of the victims read a statement from his niece, who wrote that she was "very mad and angry" at Emerson.
Emerson's lawyer told the judge that Emerson has accepted responsibility for his actions.
Emerson's sons as well as his mother and step-father addressed the judge.
Emerson apologized to the victims and his family.
The judge told the parents of the victims that he accepted the plea agreement because it would ensure prison time for Emerson and to spare the children from having to testify against him during a trial.
Once he serves his prison sentence, Emerson will be on probation for 10 years.

1. Why is Edward still reluctant to let Bella go by herself and face the Volturi even though she is a vampire?
Vampire or not, he wants to be there to protect her.
2. Why is it important that Irina is first seen in the forest? Did you anticipate her appearance in the forest? Why or why not?
No, I didn't anticipate it all.
3. Renesmee is growing mentally at an alarming rate while her body is gradually slowing. How is this similar or different to Bella when she was human?
Bella took care of her mother at a young age. So this would indicate she also grew mentally fast(er than other).
4. One way to stop Renesmee growth is for her to be bitten by a vampire. Bella is totally set against this idea. How is this ironic considering Bella and Edward's struggle in the first three books? How have their position on this issue changed?
Bella would not want her daughter to have pain. And, since, she's half human, they can't be positive it won't kill her. I think Bella's afraid.

I'm still extra worked up about this loss but reading through all of the comments has helped me realize I'm not the only one who feels so crappy about this loss (and who was so pissed about the officiating). I generally don't like to carry on about the officials. Usually I allow that in each game, they will make several mistakes and a team has to just learn how to play with them. But when the ratio is 18 penalties to 5, you HAVE to wonder.
But after watching the 2 Collins' picks again on that last drive, I've realized that there are a couple more comments I need to make. On the first one when he picked it and then fumbled – the referees let the play carry on all the way until a Packer recovered the ball. Only then did the official with no vantage point come charging in and rule it an incomplete pass. None of the players stopped scrambling for the ball, which indicates pretty clearly to me that no whistle was blown. More than odd. Then, on the Burnett play, a play that at the very very least was a close play and very much NOT an obvious pass interference (because it wasn't pass interference at all), 3 different officials threw flags against us. Three. If nothing else, it seemed the officials were simply watching extra carefully for possible penalties on us while turning a blind eye to the Bears.
I promise I'm moving on from this loss, but another quick point. Another reason I'm still so worked up about all of this is that I finally have the ability to DVR games. So on the interceptions and the Forte fumble, I went back and had another look myself multiple times. After doing that I still came away with the opinion that we had 3 turnovers taken away from us. Just granting us one of those may have been the difference in the game.
Lastly, I will add that while I'm frustrated, I'm not totally dejected. I have a feeling this loss will inspire the team a bit…I feel badly for Detroit because they will be facing a pissed off team that of course, won't have nearly as many penalties because they'll be the home team. (I'm doing some research on this home team penalty advantage – will post soon.) I think we'll recover and win more games, but I really think we need a decent RB if we want to get to the highest level of the NFL this year. As for the Bears, I continue to think they'll eke into the playoffs, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the foundation they are building this season on might crumble at some point. They have some talent, but they seemed too lucky/opportunistic last night to be really good over time.

So now that we have some depth...
Yes, that's Awn svn, in all its 3D and reflective glory :-). I'd like to say a huge thanks to haytjes & nablaa from the forums, who managed to make their patches work together to create this effect. There are also a buch of other fixes in svn, so its well worth the upgrade.
As we all like videos, here's one of the reflection in action:
I've recently got a bunch of help from people for different things regarding Awn (thank you to you all), this should see development become quicker, and bug fixes faster. It'll also mean that I can make a proper roadmap, now that I have some help in achieving it!
In other news
There's a bunch of cool stuff I need to blog about, and as soon as I get some time, I will :-). I'm off to Guadec tomorrow, so there won't be much stuff happening code wise, but I do have an Awn-related surprise for you all when I get back this weekend ;-).
As pointed out, it may help if I told you how to actually get Awn looking like this :-/. You need to change two gconf keys (UI coming soon). For the perspective, navigate to /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_angle, and set it to 45. For reflection, navigate to /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/icon_offset, and set it to 18. Restart Awn and enjoy!

Great! Looks really great, but...I do I get it???
is there a "flag" in the preferences wich I have to enable or what?
and what about other news in the project, what are they?
Thanks as usual! To see a new entry in this blog makes me feel a strange vibe up on my spinal cord... :D

As a previous commenter said: "Avsome!"
Great job, I love this little program. :)
A little question also:
Would you mind sharing you color config for Avant? I love the how it looks with the whiteish against the green. (And since my background also is that kind of green I would love it if my Avant looked like yours.)

Thanks to someone on #compiz-fusion, I was notified to the fact that you have to use --prefix=/usr/local for applets to work. However, in your README you suggest --prefix=/usr.
this causes the applets to fail to work.
change your readme please. Thanks
And it's great to hear from you again! :)

nice work....
You need to fire up gconf to change icon offer and panel angle.
- 16 July 2007 at 06:00

@massimo: Doh! Should have made that clear:
Change /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/bar_angle to 45, and /apps/avant-window-navigator/bar/icon_offet to 18, and restart Awn :-).
@gavin: Thats weird, /usr/ works just fine for me, could you point me at the thread?
@deepthoughts: Sure: glass engine 1st step, internal border, and both hi-light colours are set to fully transparent. The main border colour is white with transparency of 47 and the glass engine step two colour is white with 101 transparency.
It'll be much easier to chare themes in the near future as Awn gets theming support (its being worked on in the forums).
@everyone else: Thanks! :-)

- 16 July 2007 at 16:29
Nice job, I love AWN :) I think there's a problem when autohide is enabled, though; when it starts up it's perfect, but when it autohides and then pops back up, the reflections and icon offset are gone (the icons are at front again, and there's no reflection even when they bounce).
It happens for all the icons (except the Democracy player launcher, weirdly, which still has a reflection). Could you look into that? For now though, I'll leave AWN as is :) Thanks!

- 16 July 2007 at 16:50
This is cool but for a beginning linux user you could REALLY use some more instruction. This took me a long time to figure out what the heck to do.
Why don't you add to the post what you have to change (instead of just having it in different parts of the comments), and maybe explaining HOW to change those settings (such as gconf-editor).

Thanks, really cool! But the most important surprise I found looking at gconf was the "resize" of the bar! I was looking for that for a long time!!! :D
Also, I found that there's been added a new applet: Notification Area (systray), really useful, if it's going to be well developed (a thing I'm sure of, like anything from Neil...) it will definively take the place of normal task bar, since I was looking for this since a lot, too. But I want to ask a little thing: when I add the Notification Area applet, it appears only as a vertical white line and I can't even click it, sicne it's too thin. I think it's kinda like the workspace switcher applet in the first version: it's a matter of default size, but could anyone suggest me a solution? I tried in gconf, but I can't find the new applet in /apps/avant-window-navigator/applet...
thanks, bye!
oh, I was forgetting: GREAT WORK!!!

As they say, imitation is the best form of adulation.
I guess people in the OSS world and otherwise can't get enough of copying Apple.
And this time it had to be a guy of Gujju origin! Not exactly the best news for the [not-so-flattering] Indian reputation but at least it's a good copying act this time.
After all, Woody Allen said, "Strive for originality in your work but if you must steal, steal from the best!"
Well, whatever makes them OSS pinkos happy, i suppose!

Waiiiitasec, that IS banana leaf!

Thanks a lot for that, this will make my desktop be teh hawtness.

nice, now the icons look like they are literally bouncing.

ok we all now thats a briliant work and so... but many of us don't know the "How to" please be more specific on how we make it work... :P
- 17 July 2007 at 10:33
- AndreCB said...
beacause in the gconf keys i dont have those 2 lines apps/...
- 17 July 2007 at 12:25
- AndreCB said...
haaaaa THANKS FOR THE GOOD EXPLANATION searayman...
ok too all :P after instaling AWN updating whatever run in the terminal gconf-editor then navigate through those paths and do as said before :D
- 18 July 2007 at 00:18
I'm running awn now and I think its great but why does it take so long to react to window changes (specifically, adding and removing windows on creation and destroy). The removal of a icon doesn't seem to be in sync with the bar shrinking: the icon has to fade away completely before the bar starts to shrink. I think the animations should start at the same time but the fading moving ever-so-slightly faster.

http://www.celebrityprankcalling.com is much more interesting. At least it isn't an apple clone...

hey the stuff you are working on really shows me that there will be a day where i am able to switch back (from osx to linux).
you should definitly contact the ubuntu guys. i bet that they are very interested in your work!
(and of course i hope that it gets included into the ubuntu repositories veeeery quick) :-)
- 20 July 2007 at 15:37
as said in my previous msg (contact ubuntu), the following link could be interesting for you. the ubuntu guys have something like google summer of code.. they offer bounties for cool projects to integrate into ubuntu linux. so why not getting some money for your hard work: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate/developerzone
- 20 July 2007 at 15:48
Can icon bouncing be turned off ? It's extremely irritating...
- 20 July 2007 at 22:57
great looking dock. all that is missing is the zoom plugin. any word on when thats going to be out?
- 21 July 2007 at 04:28
- arkanoid said...
I tried to use wm/as docklets with it (p.e. wmwifi), no luck (all i see just static default icon). Am i doing something wrong or this feature is just unsupported?
- 22 July 2007 at 18:35
- Peppie said...
Great dock, but the howto can't be correct,..
1 - I've entered the two mentioned keys in my gconf and gave the mentioned values. Result: No reflection can be seen and the background border is still to big.
2. I'm missing the color codes in order to make the dock transparent.
Can you do us all a huge favour and list your gconf keys over here? So we can re-use them? Thanks.
- 28 July 2007 at 11:03
What are the colours you used for the glass engine? Mine looks all black and yukky. Thanks!!!!!!

As soon as the doctor diagnoses you as a victim of male erectile dysfunction, you can start off your treatment by opting for the anti-impotency medicine Viagra. And to start with, you can choose a Viagra sample. Viagra sample indicates the viagra pills that you can procure from the doctor or from online/offline drug stores for free of cost and as soon as soon as you get hold of a Viagra sample and administer the medicine, you would soon get rid of the shackles of erectile dysfunction. For more details on Viagra sample, visit the website http://www.viagraforce.com.
- 4 November 2008 at 05:39
Other than the Pfizer manufactured anti-impotency medicine viagra, you can also avail of other various other natural erectile dysfunction cures such as herbs, amino acid, body steroid supplement et al to relieve yourself from the grip of impotency. All these treatment procedures are termed as natural Viagra and to known more on these natural erectile dysfunction treatments, log in to the website http://www.viagraforce.com.

Great Review! Well written and quite descriptive as well.. If any item or topic comes out then you should be the one releasing it to the public and make it known! The way you describe it is very intriguing and feels like candy to my ears, if that really makes any sense :) but you catch my drift.. In one of my classes, we were given a paper with instructions of how to build a swan made of aluminum foil and we had to explain to our group verbally how to construct the swan.. It was difficult! But, manageable and we came second in place, but it was tasky :) Nevertheless you are very descriptive and if you post anything else up I will most definitely check it out! Great review!

If you, like so many others, are in the market for Generic Viagra, buying Online Pharmacy no Prescription is your best bet for finding fantastic deals on high quality generic medications. We understand that so many people are struggling to make ends meet in these difficult times, and health insurance does not always include prescription coverage. More Info at: http://www.safemeds.com/

The incident, shown on television replays, showed Suarez apparently bite the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini as the pair clashed in the Italian penalty area. It happened about a minute before Uruguay scored in the 81st and won the match.
It wasn't the first time Suarez used his teeth on the pitch. Suarez was sanctioned with a heavy ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in the English premier League in 2013. Before that, he was hit with a seven-game ban in 2010 for biting a player in the Dutch Eredivisie.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
FIFA can sanction players for biting with bans of up to two years.
News of the bite spread quickly on social media where users posted funny quips about the cannibalistic scene.

- Duration:
- 3:30 PM CDT 4:30 PM CDT (Time Zone Sensitive)
- Type:
- Webinars
The Hidden Curriculum of the Cycle of Meltdowns for Individuals with High Functioning-Autism Spectrum Disorder***By Dr. Brenda Smith Myles, Associate Professor, Resident Scholar for Ohio Center for Autism & Low Incidence (OCALI)***The majority of learners on the spectrum experience self-regulation and sensory issues that can lead to meltdowns. This escalating sequence seems to follow a three-stage cycle: (a) rumbling, (b) rage, and (c) recovery. This sequence can be problematic as many children and youth with ASD often endure the cycle unaware that they are under stress. This session will overview the issues related to self-regulation and sensory issues — highlighting research in a practical manner and interventions that address these needs. At the end of this session, attendees will be able to: 1. Identify self-regulation and sensory issues experienced by individuals on the spectrum. 2. Describe interventions that that address self-regulation and sensory needs. 3. Discuss the cycle of meltdowns.

Fireplace and Chimney CareDecember 28, 2018 12:00 am
As the temperature begins to drop even more in the coming months, there are few things that homeowners will likely enjoy more than curling up by the fireplace for a cozy evening. A gas or wood-burning fireplace is a welcome addition to any home, but there are several things you should do to make sure your fireplace and chimney are working well. Adhering to the following guidelines will reduce the risk of problems in the colder months ahead:
Wood Fireplaces
Schedule routine chimney sweeps – To ensure your fireplace and chimney are in proper working condition, schedule a chimney sweep and inspection once a year. The best time to do this is before the start of a burning season.
Burn fires safely – Only burn wood that was cut at least six months ago. Store any excess firewood in an elevated and covered area. Although it may be tempting, steer clear of using flammable liquids in your fireplace.
Check chimneys outside – Make sure your chimney is clear of any branches closer than 15 feet away. Install a chimney cap to keep out unwanted debris or animals.
Ensure interior safety – Arrange furniture at least three feet away from the hearth of your fireplace and install a mesh screen to keep sparks from flying.
Discard ashes – When the fire is finished burning, discard ashes by placing them in a metal container away from your home so they can properly cool.
Gas Fireplaces
Inspect for problems – Look for latch issues or cracks in the glass and make sure logs are in the proper position. Turn off the gas at the shut-off valve and test the igniter before using.

Newport police say a man with a handgun tried to rob a methadone clinic, prompting officials to lock down two local schools and the hospital.
Police say the robbery at the BAART methadone clinic on Union Street was reported just before 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The suspect displayed a handgun during the incident and demanded methadone. The suspect fled without obtaining any drugs.
The man was tracked by a police dog and local, state and federal agents, but searchers lost the trail a short distance from the clinic.
The robbery prompted police to lock down the Newport City Elementary School, North Country Union High School and the North Country Hospital.

The movement of jobs away from the region's urban cores was pronounced from 2000 to 2007 but lost momentum with the onset of the Great Recession, a new study has found.
Overall employment reductions in the North Port-Bradenton-Sarasota metro area was the primary reason job sprawl abated, the study from the Brookings Institution shows.
"In all but nine of the 100 largest metro areas, the share of jobs located within three miles of downtown declined during the 2000s," wrote the study's author, Elizabeth Kneebone, a senior fellow in Brookings' Metropolitan Policy Program.
Conversely, what job growth that did occur during the prolonged economic downtown tended to be in non-urban areas of Southwest Florida.
Nationally, construction, manufacturing and retail -- some of the most decentralized of major industries -- accounted for almost 60 percent of all job losses between 2007 and 2010.
Most metro areas, meanwhile, experienced a dramatic shift in job locations.
In 2000, 52 percent of all jobs were within three miles of a central business district, the study noted. In Southwest Florida, those centers included downtown Sarasota, Bradenton, or Venice.
But by 2007, the share of close-in jobs had declined to only 40 percent of the total, and remained at that level through 2010.
"Within three miles of a central business district, you lost 44,000 jobs," Kneebone added about Southwest Florida. "So most of the net job losses in the region occurred within three miles of a downtown."
This lack of downtown jobs was almost directly offset by a growth in jobs that were three to 10 miles away from a central business district, the study found.
Jobs with that kind of commute rose from 40 percent of the total available to 50 percent over the same period.
Growth-control advocates said the study should be taken into account when making planning decisions.
"It should be a warning against the urban sprawl that is going to occur if Sarasota 2050 plan is eviscerated, the way the development interests are now pushing," said Dan Lobeck, a Sarasota lawyer who champions the cause of strictly controlling growth.
"The more jobs are close in, the more concentrated, the less traffic you're going to have," Lobeck said.

1 Year of Archived Email (2005) - Cody Trepte
In people, memory is the capacity to retain an impression of past experiences. In technology, memory refers to the parts of a digital computer that retain data for some interval of time. Computers now have the ability to save a lifetime of photographs, videos, audio and communications, changing the way that we reference personal memory. With this change, computers can archive and index memories in a way that we have never been able to do before. Computers have become machines for remembering. Using the most primitive form of digital storage, I have recorded all of the emails stored on my computer into thousands of punched cards. Each card contains fragments of communication layered one on top of another to form an analog representation of my collected digital communications. In the same way that information is stored on the computer, I have created indexes to reference the information. Each index is created by manually sifting through the information, word by word, creating unique directories of my personal communications.
The Prometheus Institute and the Work of Bulat Galeyev
It's hard to sum up the interests and achievements of Bulat Galeyev, who died in Kazan, Russia, on January 5 at the age of 68. He was a teacher of physics and aesthetics. As a scholar, he published scientific research on synesthesia, and as an artist he staged his own theatrical performances that synthesized visuals and music. He studied and championed the work of Lev Termen, even when the theremin's inventor was nearly forgotten in his native country. Inspired by the ideas of early-twentieth century composer Alexander Scriabin, whose orchestral works are usually performed without the colored-light shows that he choreographed for them, Galeyev devoted his life to a multi-faceted study of art and sensory perception. The radical, interdisciplinary nature of his career is even more impressive when you consider that it evolved in the conservative, often stifling intellectual atmosphere of the Soviet Union.
Galeyev's base of operations was the Prometheus Institute in Kazan, a city about 450 miles east of Moscow. To gain official support and funding, Prometheus attached itself to an aviation engineering research institute, and its unique position in relationship to industry was not dissimilar from the experimental initiatives hosted by Bell Labs and Siemens in the West. Galeyev's line of inquiry was certainly not a priority for Soviet science. But when he founded Prometheus in 1962, the country was still euphoric from launching the first human into space a year earlier. The light-music concerts that Galeyev organized at Prometheus blended in with the widespread vogue for science fiction and futurism.
Thanks to Prometheus' close connections to an official research laboratory, its employees had access to equipment that ordinary citizens could never dream of. Galeyev and his team took advantage of ...
Random Rules
From AIDS-3D's Selections
Many believe that since the launch of YouTube in 2005, the history of the moving image has diverted from its canonical route. The website, which makes it possible for anyone who can use a computer to post a video, reaches millions of people daily. Like no other time before, it is now possible for amateur videos, music videos, film footage, commercials and news segments as well as (in some cases) artists' videos to be mingled together in a random way, free of any preconceived hierarchy or system. According to Fokidis, the active use of YouTube is a form of curating and "Different people's 'playlists' are transformed into exhibitions and "tagging" becomes a process of random archiving." For PULSE PLAY>Random Rules, Fokidis has invited several emerging and established artists to create their very own playlists thereby presenting these artists not only as artists, but as curators and as collectors as well. Artists include Andrea Angelidakis, Aids 3D, AVAF, Pablo Leon de la Barra, Erick Beltran, Keren Cyter, Jeremy Deller, Cerith Wyn Evans, Dominique Gonzalez Foerster, Dora Garcia, Rodney Graham, Annika Larsson, Matthieu Laurette, Ingo Niermann, Miltos Manetas, Ahmet Ogut, Angelo Plessas, Lisi Raskin, Linda Wallace.
Editor's Note: Artist-selected videos on the "Random Rules" YouTube playlist (link below) will be on view this week at the Pulse Play video art lounge at Pulse Art Fair in New York City. The fair opens tomorrow.
Call for Submissions: OHPen Surface - The Art of the Overhead festival 2009
The Art of the Overhead is a small arts festival devoted to the overhead projector which will take place from May 15 to June 5th at Stapelbäddsparken, in a former Shipbuilding slipway featuring 3000m2 of largely underground areas in Malmö, Sweden. This year's theme is "OHpen Surface", which is elaborated by the festival's organizers Linda Hilfling and Kristoffer Gansing here:
With this call for contributions for The Art of the Overhead 2009 - we encourage artists and other media practitioners to depart from the Overhead projector as a standardized technology which has the potential for re-activation by way of its near outdated character. This entails reflection-as-projection, deploying the Overhead projector in the double sense of projection described by Siegfried Zielinski: as both casting out images representing the world and as a shaping movement, a production or rather a visionary projecting of reality as delimited by how we see it through the image. To work in one media, criticizing another, or reflecting across a whole domain of media culture through a particular and well-known technological institution is a kind of non-digitalisable cultural practice that The Art of the Overhead is all about, and through the OHPen Surface we call for works that engage in this dynamic.
They are currently seeking submissions in three categories: Transparencies, Installation, and Performance. Deadline for submissions is March 30, 2009. For more, visit the link below. </p.
