This show is just too funny. The cast performed brilliantly (even down to voice inflection and mannerisms of the characters they were spoofing.) if you have an opportunity to go see this one, you should definitely avail yourself of it.

Firewall Wizards
mailing list archives
Hi Mark,
The key thing to me is, what happens if the SOAPAction and the URI disagree?
It would be simple to craft a message that would pass the firewall, based on
the SOAPAction header, but turn out to call a completely different function
based on the content of the XML.
This suggests a flaw where one party (the firewall) permits an action, based
on some information (the SOAPAction header), while the next party (the
web-server/application server) takes action based on other information (the
actual content of the XML)
This seems to be asking for trouble.
I would be happier to have a proxy that parsed the XML and took action based
on the same information that the application server would be using.

Subject: [fw-wiz] SOAP/XML Protocol and filtering, etc.
[This was originally posted on the main IETF list, and it was
suggested that this was a good place to go for input...]
The W3C's XML Protocol WG [1], which is chartered with developing
XML-based messaging based on SOAP [2], has been debating the merits
of the SOAPAction header in SOAP's HTTP binding. I've taken it upon
myself (with some misgivings ;) to solicit comments on the designs
being discussed.
Briefly, SOAPAction is intended to identify a service being accessed,
independently from its URL. For example, if you're accessing a
StockQuote service, you might put a URI which identifies this type of
service in the SOAPAction header.
The primary motivation of this is to allow firewall and filtering
proxies to identify SOAP messages in HTTP and act appropriately.
Some implementations and/or applications of SOAP also use SOAPAction
for dispatch, but that's out of scope for this discussion.
The three major designs being proposed are:
- allow any arbitrary URI to be placed in the SOAPAction header [3]
- force the content of the SOAPAction header to be the same as the
top-level XML namespace in the message body, thereby identifying
what kind of message it is (making this information available in
the header removes the requirement that the intermediary parse
the XML) [4]
- removing SOAPAction and requiring that only one service be
associated with any particular URI [5]
I feel that if we're going to design something to satisfy an external
requirement ("make SOAP play nice with firewalls, so they don't just
block all SOAP messages"), we should consult with the affected
So, I would very much appreciate:
- constructive comments as to the designs
- pointers to mailing lists, etc. of communities that would be
interested in these issues (firewall admins, etc.)
- discussion of whether any such hints will be helpful for the
target audience
- pointers to filtering/access control techniques already used,
with particular emphasis on whether or not any current
implementations can identify HTTP headers and act upon them.
Kind regards,

Weekend reads: Seralini GMO-rat study retraction aftershocks; NEJM investigates conflicts of interest
Another busy week at Retraction Watch. Here's a sampling of items about scientific publishing, research misconduct, and related issues from around the web:
- The retraction of the Seralini GMO-rats study was "a significant and destructive shift in management of the publication of controversial scientific research," write three researchers in Environmental Health Perspectives. But a group in the Philippines is already using the retraction to convince a court that GM eggplant is safe.
- The New England Journal of Medicine is "satisfied that a 2010 article supporting national patient-safety recommendations favoring the study's corporate sponsor, CareFusion, was not tainted by undisclosed conflicts of interest."
- "New journals are appearing almost every day," writes Skeptical Scalpel. "Does anyone read them?"
- The New Yorker profiles Tyrone Hayes, a scientist who took on Syngenta over an herbicide.
- Can Western blots be trusted? asks a product manager at Bio-Rad, picking up on a column we wrote a few years ago.
- A plagiarism dispute from history: Did Benjamin Rush steal ideas from a student, or vice-versa?
- For some researchers, this Onion story may be a bit too close to reality: "Report: Today The Day They Find Out You're A Fraud." Elsewhere, the Onion reveals that Super Bowl confetti is made entirely from shredded concussion studies.
- Speaking of being revealed as a fraud, a beloved deaf composer turns out to be none of the above, reports the New York Times.
- An HIV researcher in Spain is facing a €210,000 fine for performing a trial without approvals and insurance.
- On Tuesday, February 18, you can ask Pamela Ronald and colleagues anything you want about their recent retractions and what they did to correct the scientific record.
- An article in Curie (in Swedish) compares the process of investigating potential scientific misconduct in Sweden and the US (quotes Ivan).
- A Metric for the Quality of Peer Review: Scholarly Kitchen interviews Adam Etkin of PreSCORE.
- Being cited in a review isn't the kiss of death for citations, as some believed, according to a new study.
- A study seemed to find that researchers were reading fewer papers than they used to. But scholarly publishing consultant Phil Davis noted a problem in the analysis, so the work has already been corrected.
- Proto takes on the replication issue.
- Starting March 1, all PLOS journals will require that all manuscripts have an accompanying data availability statement for the data used in that piece of research."
12 Responses
1) In response to Skeptical Scalpel: Is it not possible that new journals are appearing every day because the scientific community is simply tired of the "establishment" and the flawed peer review that takes place in so-called impact factor and/or peer reviewed journals, especially of the top science publishers? Many would say that diversity is important for survival. 10 years ago, this would have been shot down as total nonsense in science publishing. Nowadays, with such high volatility, alternatives might not be such a bad idea. Frankly, I have seen so many problems recently (last 1-2 years) in some of the top level journals in my field of study, all with beaming IFs, that seeking alternative locations for publishing is now a matter of survival, not desire.
2) The formal decision by PLoS journals is a bold, but limited, move. I wonder how the number of submissions will drop in response to this new requirement. Someone should monitor these numbers or ask PLoS to make such data available, because such a policy is a formalized barometer of fear. Asking to sign a document that would guarantee that data sets be available in the future in the case of a dispute, and asking authors to make data sets available upon submission of a manuscript are two extremely different concepts with very widely-ranging responses. In the former case, authors engaging in misconduct could still risk publishing the paper and hope that no queries would arise, and then take advantage of the IF score and of the "high profile" publication of a PLoS journal. In the latter case, severe scrutiny would make even the most confident of scientists run for the exit even before they entered the establishment. So, why has PLoS opted for the soft-toned former option?
For those who have not followed the story, the investigation into whether there was an undisclosed conflict of interest in a 2010 N Engl J Med study appears to be part of a wider patient safety scandal that has recently unfolded in the USA. In this scandal, it is alleged that a committee member of the US National Quality Forum (NQF) took kickback payments from a major manufacturer of a chlorhexidine-alcohol skin antiseptic to have its particular formulation (a certain percentage of components that was unique to this company's product) recommended in the NQF's Safe Practices Guidelines. The scandal apparently recently surfaced when the US Justice Department settled a whistleblower lawsuit in which it levied a significant fine against the company.
More comprehensive coverage is here, and this is interesting reading:
Colleagues and I recognized quite a while ago that there is something 'fishy' about the widespread recommendations for 'chlorhexidine' in skin antisepsis. The often-purported "evidence for chlorhexidine in skin antisepsis" is largely based on a misattribution of clinical trial outcomes — and a concomitant misinterpretation of evidence — that has become very widespread and assumed very large-scale proportions in the medical literature. This is a completely different aspect from what is the subject of the scandal, and probably unrelated, but it is regarding the same type of poduct and therefore constitutes an interesting coincidence. Whether and to what extent this misinterpretation is commercially driven is unknown to me. I left a comment and some references on the second (Wachter's World) of the two web pages mentioned above.
I am not a copyright lawyer so I got a small question to the community about the Séralini paper. The authors transferred the copyright to the Publisher. If the Publisher decides to retract the paper, what happens with the copyright? In principle a retraction is an "unpublication", i.e. an unmaking of the publishing contract which originally included the copyright transfer.
Would it be possible for the author (Séralini in this case) to resubmit and republish his paper elsewhere?
"Would it be possible for the author (Séralini in this case) to resubmit and republish his paper elsewhere?"
From a scientific point of view, yes. Resubmission elsewhere is an option if the authors consider the work to be valid.
Technically, the copyright situation in this case might be legally complex. But I don't think anyone would think to pursue it.
Re: PLOSOne
" I wonder how the number of submissions will drop in response to this new requirement. "
It depends on how onerous they make it. I looked up the new policy. It is really not clear how they will implement it. Some depositories are well known and not a problem (e.g. Genbank). But is it their intention that I have to find some place to submit the data for my 10 graphs and a table? PlosOne is already very bitchy about figures. If they add even more unnecessary complications, then submission will indeed fall off.
I agree with some of your points.
As a very recent PLoS author (yesterday) – yes they are very "strict" about figures.
It is not clear how PLoS will implement the policy.
If journals [and I hope every journal will adopt PLoS' policy] make data deposits "onerous," submissions will indeed drop off.
For the last point, that's a good thing – if you can't provide good back-up for your data, you shouldn't be publishing.
I for one am very keen for a requirement that the original (uncropped, unPSed) images for gels, westerns, etc. be placed in supplemental results. I don't think this is onerous, even if there are 10 graphs in the paper.
Plus, it would ELIMINATE most, not all, of the gel manipulation cases that ORI and RW deal with on a daily basis. Of course, nothing to stop a determined falsifier from manipulating the original image too, but it is very hard to remove all traces of Photoshop manipulation and the requirement for the supplemental archive should be that there must be NONE.
OK – perhaps this posts has been flagged here on RW before. If not, it should be:
Turns out PLos is indeed considering the "require – and publish – the raw image files for every composite figure" notion.
"Journals could be doing more to ensure data integrity. At PLOS Biology we screen all images in accepted articles for obvious signs of manipulation and if we see any cause for concern we ask for original files. Some commenters have suggested we should require – and publish – the raw image files for every composite figure, and this is an idea we'll discuss internally and with our editorial board. Please do let us know if you have strong views on the desirability of this, as we balance the burden on authors with the potential benefit to readers."
Nope, don't agree.
It's a case of making things more difficult for the 99.9% in order to deter the 0.01%. It's already difficult enough to put together a paper and get all the figures together (especially for PlosOne), with all the references in order, without them adding unnecessary steps. I for one, would publish elsewhere.
OK – agree to disagree.
The problem is the 0.1% or 0.01% are discrediting the whole enterprise. And, as Dr. Bloom pointed out in her blogpost, these investigations of the 0.1% or 0.01% can consume years. Better to deter misconduct by requiring everyone to post raw gel images. You already have these and it literally will take less than a minute to upload – IMO not onerous.
Given where we are at I call this a necessary step and although PLoS may lose some authors, I believe they will gain more.
I personally welcome the opportunity to publish my gels in a journal that requires transparency of all its authors in terms of the raw data.
Again, to each his or her own.
Yes, Dan, it is their intention that you provide the raw data (preferably in spreadsheet form) for all graphs, and all raw images (western blots, photomicrographs). Not for every experiment you ever performed, but for every experiment that ended up in the paper.
Not only is this onerous for authors, but reviewers and editors are expected to verify the raw data submission as part of the review process.
(It is probably a good idea to do this. Just last week I was advocating in my own lab that whenever a paper is submitted, the author should have to make an archival copy of all the data that was used, in case of future questions. In my case, this was prompted by two incidents of wanting to re-use a figure in a talk or review article [with permission of course] and being unable to find a high quality original. However, I'm not sure I want to be a pioneer at PLOS.)

The Ironstone Room
Willett's Winery & Cellar is thrilled to announce the opening of their restaurant, The Ironstone Room. Executive Chef Kevin Roecker is planning quite a culinary experience. Ironstone China is a type of stoneware introduced in England in the early 1800's by potters using the country's ironstone to develop a porcelain-like china that could be mass produced. Eventually, Ironstone China was exported primarily to the United States between about 1840 and 1890. Dan's mother, Elsie Willett, has been a collector of Ironstone China for many years. Her collection will be displayed in the Ironstone Room of Willett's Winery & Cellar. Our menu changes seasonally, and offers suggested wine pairings from our winery.

Tag: Michael Strahan
Wednesday morning talking points: DeMarcus Ware will be on the prowl
- 9:11 am Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 by Brian Biggane
There may be no bigger mismatch in the NFL this week than Marc Colombo vs. DeMarcus Ware, so that's as good a place as any to begin our Wednesday morning talking points:
1. Colombo will have his hands full – and then some – with the game's best passer rusher.
It's pretty amazing that Ware already has 14 sacks through just 10 games; that's the same number Cameron Wake totaled last season in missing out on the AFC sack title by a half-sack. Ware needs nine in his final six games to break Michael Strahan's 10-year-old NFL record of 22.5.
Ware admitted Tuesday the record is on his mind.
"Every year as a pass rusher you always think about being the best," he said, "and one of the things about being the best is breaking records. That's a big record to break with a guy like Strahan holding it. Just getting to the quarterback is a hard thing, so that's always in the back of your mind."
Going against Colombo, Ware could find himself significantly closer to his goal come Thursday night. [More]

SI All-Decade team: Jason Taylor edges Michael Strahan, Zach Thomas loses out to London Fletcher
- 4:57 pm Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 by Post Staff
Let the debate begin.
When it comes to the Miami Dolphins and his All-Decade, Sports Illustrated's Peter King giveth and taketh away.
King put Jason Taylor on the team ahead of former Giants' defensive end Michael Strahan.
But on King's 12-man defensive unit, featuring four linebackers, he also left off Zach Thomas, selecting London Fletcher ahead of the him.
ESPN.com: Jason Taylor the decade's best defensive player
- 2:10 pm Friday, June 26th, 2009 by Post Staff
A nice piece of news for Dolfans who have watched this week as ESPN.com proclaimed the Patriots owners of the best team, player (Tom Brady) and coach (Bill Belichick) of the decade.
Turns out, ESPN.com's panel of experts has voted Jason Taylor the best defensive player of the decade … and the No. 5 overall player.

A Major League Baseball team can't hit, there are no answers and it seems the only thing left to do is to fire the hitting coach, right?
Well that seems to be the wave of sentiment in the New York Yankees Universe these days because a team filled with high-priced bats "coached" by Kevin Long is failing miserably in the batter's box.
The age-old argument only runs us around in circles.
A hitting coach like Long can't go up to the plate and swing for his players, although even if he could it's doubtful he'd do any better. That means once the players are out of his hands and in a game, he has zero control over that player's physical and mental approach to an at-bat despite what has been taught.
However, that would mean a hitting coach would never get fired. No matter how bad the team is at the plate, he can't control it so therefore it wouldn't be fair to fire him.
Or at least that's what former New York Mets hitting coach Dave Hudgens thought when he recently got fired, as he disagreed with the decision and thought he had done a relatively good job.
Per SNY the Mets are hitting .195 w/RISP in the last 10 games. Dave Hudgens is available for interviews.
— Jerry Beach (@defiantlydutch) June 8, 2014
The Mets are ranked No. 28 in the MLB in average and No. 20 in runs scored this season. Hudgens' lessons consisted of Mets hitters being patient at the plate, yet the team ranked in the top five in both walks and strikeouts.
Clearly the Mets aren't hitting and that's because they simply don't have many good bats in their lineup. Granted, they weren't getting any better under Hudgens' tutelage, but it still takes good players to score runs since not everyone is born with the talent to hit a baseball consistently.
It's certainly a double-edge sword when discussing this subject.
The hitting coach isn't always fairly blamed as long as he has a logical approach to hitting a baseball, yet who do you hold accountable when a team can't hit? And what should you base the job performance of a hitting coach on if it isn't the performance of the lineup itself?
If Kevin Long is still the Yankees hitting coach in a week, I will eat my hat. #Getridofhim
— Lucas Day (@Lukelakers) June 8, 2014
In Long's case, New York has a roster stacked with veteran hitters who have each had their own share of success during their careers and not a bunch of rookies who he can influence easier.
The Yankees' brass must know this team has the ability to correct itself and there's not much a career minor leaguer like Long (or any hitting coach) can do to change that. If you're hoping for Long to be fired, don't hold your breath.

A Glossop patient has become one of the first in the country to receive an advanced eye treatment involving an injection.
Anne Foster, 74, received the new procedure, which is an injection of ocriplasmin into the eye to treat blurred or distorted vision which replaces the need for an operation, at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport.
She said: "I couldn't believe how quick it was, I was in and out in no time. There was no side effects at all, and I felt fine afterward. I couldn't recommend it highly enough."
The injection can treat conditions such as broken tissue or fluid in the eye's retina, which in some cases can lead to blindness. Previously, the only way to treat this condition for High Peak patients was an operation called a vitrectomy, a complex, invasive surgery, which was carried out at another hospital.
As well as being quicker to perform, the recovery time for patients is quicker and decreases the risk of cataracts which can also arise from vitrectomy surgery. Ocriplasmin injections have only recently been authorised by National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and Stepping Hill is among the first hospitals to make use of it.
Stepping Hill eye surgeon Anthony Moriarty said: "The ocriplasmin injection has totally changed the way that these conditions are treated."

Malone: Don't Fit Turner for Braves Jersey5/18/2006 8:49 AM Eastern
Liberty Media Corp. chairman John Malone isn't clearing a roster spot on Major League Baseball's Atlanta Braves for former owner Ted Turner.
Liberty may acquire the club from current owner Time Warner Inc. as part of an effort to redeem redeeming a major portion of its 4% stake in Time Warner for a combination of cash and nonstrategic assets, according to AP.
Malone said after a speech at a fund-raiser for the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center Business School Wednesday that he hadn't talked with Turner, but "I don't believe he's interested," AP reported.
