Encouraged by their display in India, Jenson Button and Sergio Perez will be looking for more of the same in Abu Dhabi...
Encouraged by their display in India, Jenson Button and Sergio Perez will be looking for more of the same in Abu Dhabi.
Jenson Button: "I think the whole team ought to feel encouraged by our pace in India last weekend. Although the race didn't come together for me, our overall speed and consistency were the strongest they've been all season, and, as always, the race team delivered on all fronts to ensure that, strategically and logistically, we lost nothing to our rivals. We'll certainly be taking that momentum into Abu Dhabi this weekend. While it's a very different type of track - the final sector is much more stop-start and reliant on a strong mechanical balance - I've always enjoyed racing around the Yas Marina circuit and I think we can once again score points to consolidate our position in the constructors' world championship. Now that the drivers' world championship has been conclusively settled, I think the Formula 1 community will enjoy these last three races. While we'll be competing with one another as fiercely as ever, we'll also be treating our last three outings as opportunities to develop and understand the package we'll take into the 2014 season. For me, that's exciting: I'll be looking forward to providing my input to ensure we end the year in as strong a position as possible, so as to be as well prepared for the new challenges of 2014 as we can be."
Sergio Perez: "I think that the Indian Grand Prix was my strongest performance of the season so far, and a good example of what I feel I'm capable of when I have a solid car beneath me, and the opportunity to push and press my opponents. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend. You won't be surprised to hear that I'll be aiming to carry that momentum over into the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Yas Marina circuit is one of the most impressive and sophisticated racetracks in the world - the first two sectors, which are a series of high-speed sweeps and hard stops, are great fun to drive, while the final sector is a little trickier, because although it's much slower it requires great precision. Getting the set-up right around here is always a compromise, also. After several races of poor luck, it was great to reverse that trend in India. Now, of course, I'll be looking for another strong finish to carry me into my 'home' race in Austin, Texas, next month. I would love to be able to give my 'home' fans something extra to cheer about!"
Martin Whitmarsh - team principal: "With three races remaining, and with the drivers' world championship now settled, it's only natural that Formula 1's collective focus should start turning towards 2014. However, there are three fantastic grands prix remaining this year, and, buoyed by a respectable result in India last weekend, we'll be looking to ensure that we continue to maximise our performance at each of those last three rounds. In Jenson and Checo, we have two excellent team-spirited drivers who have motivated the entire workforce with their never-say-die attitude to this difficult season. Despite their contrasting fortunes in India last week, both guys showed the attitude and determination to fight hard from the race's start to its finish. They have been an inspiration, often in adverse circumstances, and, in turn, the whole team is working hard to provide them with the machinery with which they can keep pushing until the very last lap of the very last race. I think everyone in Formula 1 enjoys the fantastic facilities on Yas Island, and the thrill and spectacle of a dusk race make this weekend a truly special event on the calendar. I hope we can once again deliver a good race - not only for the benefit of everyone at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, but also for the benefit of Formula 1 as a whole, and most especially the fans."

Nico Rosberg says the only way he is finishing second at the Yas Marina circuit is if Mark Webber has car troubles.
Red Bull proved to be the form team in Friday's practice for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as Sebastian Vettel topped the timesheets ahead of his team-mate.
His 1:41.335 put him 0.3s up on third-placed Lewis Hamilton while Rosberg could only manage fifth, 0.423s down.
And with Friday's second session taking place at the same time as qualifying and the race, Rosberg concedes the Bulls could be "untouchable."
He said: "This morning it was not possible to learn much and then this evening the conditions are exactly like we'll have tomorrow in qualifying and also in the race.
"As always the aim is to be the best of the rest behind Red Bull because they are untouchable and it's looking good for now."
Asked whether there was still a chance of him securing a second place finish as he did last time out in India, the Mercedes stated that would only happen if Webber ran into trouble.
"It depends how Mark's luck is this weekend," said Rosberg. "If he's as unlucky as he has been in the last few races then for sure again I can be on the podium."

March 7, 2011 -- A new method of screening for Down syndrome during pregnancy may eventually offer a safer, less invasive alternative to amniocentesis, according to a new study.
The experimental Down syndrome test screens for genetic markers of the developmental disorder in blood samples taken from the mother between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy.
Early testing of the new method showed it correctly distinguished between 14 fetuses with Down syndrome and 26 healthy fetuses with 100% accuracy.
Down syndrome is the most common cause of mental retardation.
Currently, the only way to conclusively diagnose the disorder during pregnancy is to take samples of genetic material from the fetus via amniocentesis or another method. But these methods come with a risk of miscarriage.
Other less invasive prenatal tests, such as nuchal translucency scans, can only estimate the risk of Down syndrome in the fetus.
The new Down syndrome test is based on differences in DNA methylation patterns, which are critical to gene expression, between the mother and the fetus. It screens for extra copies of a fetal chromosome in the mother's blood.
In Down syndrome, there are three copies of chromosome 21, called trisomy-21, instead of the normal two.
Researchers say the method is fast and easy to perform in any genetic diagnostic lab and does not require special or expensive equipment.
"Such a noninvasive approach will avoid the risk of miscarriages of normal pregnancies caused by current, more invasive procedures," write researcher Elisavet A. Papageorgiou, of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics in Nicosia, Cyprus, and colleagues in Nature Medicine.
"Nevertheless, a larger-scale study will need to be performed to assist in the introduction of the diagnostic strategy into the clinical practice of prenatal diagnostic laboratories."

On December 10th 2010 Norwegian took delivery of its first Boeing 737-800 aircraft with Boeing Sky Interior. The sleek design features curving architecture and new cove lighting based on Boeing's Dreamliner interior. The LED "mood" lighting adds a feeling of spaciousness and improves the cabin perception. The cabin crew can also simulate sunset and sunrise, enhancing passenger comfort and ambience. In February 2014, Norwegian took delivery of Boeing's 1,000th 737-800 aircraft with Sky Interior, which means that Norwegian now boasts the largest Sky Interior fleet in Europe.
New overhead stowage bins
The new design offers larger, pivoting overhead stowage bins that add to the openness of the cabin. The bins give more passengers room to store carry-on baggage near their own seat, adding both extra convenience and extra legroom. Speakers are integrated into each row's passenger-service unit to improve sound and clarity of public address operations, while the new integrated air vent and improved noise-dampening materials reduce overall cabin noise by up to 2 dB.
More cabin space
The new interior will also feature modern, sculpted sidewalls that adds cabin width. Together with other architectural features such as pivot bins and LED "mood lighting", the cabin will appear significantly larger and wider. The inner "reveal" of the windows and the window shades have also been redesigned, increasing the viewable area.
More legroom
Norwegian has decided to reduce the number of seats from 189 to 186 to enhance the seat pitch. In addition, all new aircraft will be equipped with new Recaro seats which offer increased legroom without compromising capacity. This is achieved by moving the seat pocket upwards and by making the seatback slimmer, using new materials.
More environmentally friendly
In addition to the visual improvement, the new interior is lighter, meaning lower fuel burn. Combined with optimized design on fuselage, control surfaces and engine components overall fuel reduction per seat will be reduced by approximately 2 % per seat kilometer compared to brand new aircraft delivered today.
787 Dreamliner Sky Interior
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, meanwhile, takes the Sky Interior to a new level. The aircraft features a spacious, comfortable look and with soft LED lighting, thoughtfully balanced for leisure, work or rest. The 787 Dreamliner also features large dimmable windows, more than 30 percent larger than today's similarly sized aircraft. Passengers can regulate the intensity of light coming through their windows with the touch of a button. In terms of storage, passengers have plenty of space for their belongings, out of the way but within convenient reach. Other features include cleaner cabin air, lower cabin pressure and less noise so that passengers experience fewer headaches, less dizziness and fatigue while they are flying. Read more about the Dreamliner 787 interior in our showroom.

By ASPCA President and CEO Matt Bershadker
For 147 years, the ASPCA has been a leading voice for animals, fighting for their welfare however we can and preventing cruelty wherever we find it. This year marks my 12th year with the ASPCA, and my first as President and CEO, and as I look back on 2013, I'm struck by three thoughts: How much we've accomplished in just a year, how much we're poised to accomplish next year, and how crucial your support has been and will continue to be through it all.
Every animal saved is a success story and a worthy highlight, but there were a few key accomplishments that made 2013 such a year to remember.
Stopping Dog Fighting
In 2013, we played a leading role in two multi-state dog-fighting raid—one focused in Missouri in March, and another centered in Alabama in August—that not only rescued over 450 total dogs from cruelty, victimization and death, but elevated dog fighting to its rightful place among the most vile and despicable of human crimes. My congratulations and admiration to our many teams and staff who participated—saving lives and spreading the word—as well as to the various animal welfare agencies and authorities with whom we successfully collaborated.
The NYPD Partnership
In future years, we're going to look back on 2013 as the first baby step in an initiative that transformed how animals are rescued and protected not only in New York City, but hopefully all across the country, where the full size and scope of city police departments can be applied to these vulnerable and victimized populations. The NYPD has always been required by law to enforce animal cruelty laws in NYC; with this partnership, they will now take the lead role in responding to all animal cruelty complaints in the five boroughs.
Read more about our accomplishments in 2013 and our plans for 2014.

We're here to provide you professional, effective, and safe fire suppression, and fuels management services to help the BLM and interagency partners meet their objectives. We ensure the success of the program, by employing five guiding principles that are emphasized throughout all levels of our organization. In addition to the BLM State Fire and Aviation Management office in Santa Fe, there are three District Fire Programs located in Albuquerque, Farmington, and Las Cruces and two Field Office Programs in Roswell and Carlsbad.
BLM has fire management responsibility on 13.5 million acres of public land in New Mexico. With a fleet of 13 engines, we respond to an average of 300 wildfires per year that occur on both public, state and private lands as a result of our mutual aid agreements with other agencies. We also manage the Roswell Air Tanker Base, a reload base for large air tankers and host to single engine air tankers (SEAT's) during periods of peak fire activity. Implementing fire prevention activities to reduce the number of human-caused fires is also a program priority.
The NM BLM Fuels and Prescribed Fire program has successfully reduced hazardous fuels on over 250,000 acres in the past five years to reduce the risk of wildland fire to communities and improve ecosystem health. In addition, BLM's assistance to communities-at-risk in New Mexico's wildland-urban interface has exceeded $3 million to date.
Be careful with fire at all times! Areas can be devastated by thoughtlessness or indifference on the part of anyone - hunter, camper, local resident, or visitor. New Mexico often suffers from drought, making the risk of fire very high, and it is up to all of us to protect our lands. Here are some easy rules and guidelines to follow:

The real differences are:
Aside from that, they look similar and the same styles and shapes are available.
Additionally (and I didn't know this until I saw one that confused me) - you can have a technical axe with the blade and the shaft rated separately. For example a T shaft for strength and durability, with a B blade for flexibility.
A very important difference is that you should only belay from a 'T' rated axe.

Gallery: Architect Jean Nouvel Unveils Masterplan for Seguin Island in ...
The island was abandoned by carmaker Renault almost 20 years ago, and with Nouvel's design there is hope that Paris could have a new landmark on its hands. A mix of culture, commerce, urban parks and gardens, the city is hoping to create an attractive destination for both Parisians and tourists to enjoy both day and night. The Seguin will establish a large complex of two music halls (one seating 3,000 to 5,000, the second seating 800); a cultural hub of fine art and digital composed across a contemporary art foundation, an arts portal, galleries, and artist studios; a history museum focused on French collections; a vibrant commercial structure along a main street of 400 meters, with passages linking to the banks of the Seine and large squares gardens; and finally more basic leisure and entertainment destinations complemented by hotels, restaurants and a cinema complex.
Most notably, the green spaces will cover an area of 7 hectares, and set the path towards an eco-friendly neighborhood – especially key as additional developments are anticipated to follow to project at hand. A 450 meter long glass covered garden in the center will house plants unknown to the Ile-de-France region, and when the weather permits, the roof will be left open to infuse the space fresh air. The banks of the Seine around Seguin Island will be a public waterfront promenade, and additional trees will be planted in this area.
Overseeing the revitalization, Nouvel has been conscious of creating a seamless development that doesn't parcel off the land to the developers and architects involved. Rather, Nouvel sees the Seguin as a chance to make up for what was lost during the years of desolation, and to instead create an urban pole with the power to transform the community. As he contends, "If we do not define the urban agenda at this stage we will have a place without soul or roots, without synergy or complexity….a place without mystery. The depth of the project is a dimension that can be premeditated. My role here is to create a harmony, an urban continuity like that which existed before with the industrial space."
The Seguin Island project demonstrates a new way of thinking about architecture within a city that is both modern and historic, yet not confined by neither notion. Nouvel's plan is "based on principles of body types, shapes and sequences of spaces and using different types of buildings."

knowing nouvel's work leaves no doubt of the islands end outcome-sensational. sustainability is assured in the 21st century and does not need to be a marketing tool but rather a design tool. unfortunately nouvel cannot change the cities river issues but i bet nouvel's team makes some important river connections-physically, visually, & sensually. i look forward to the final reality

The images here are not very provocative. They make it look like a generic development. I hope it improves as the design is developed. It would also be great if sustainability was a driving force behind the development. Especially considering it could reintroduce a riparian habitat to the urban center of the city.

Creative Uses of Fluorescent Lighting
Energy-efficient fluorescent lighting need no longer play second fiddle to incandescents.
Researchers and public policy advocates have long known that fluorescent lighting saves energy and reduces atmospheric pollution, but public acceptance of this technology has been slow to grow. Many people still hold negative impressions about fluorescent lighting that are based on longoutdated lighting technologies (see "Lighting Technologies," p.15).With current lighting technologies and lighting designs, today's energy-efficient lighting systems can enhance the appearance of homes.
In 2002, to encourage more widespread use of energy-efficient lighting, the Lighting Research Center (LRC) specified several energy-efficient lighting effects in a designer showcase home in the upscale community of Saratoga Springs,New York, and opened the home to public tours. In designing the lighting systems for this home,we strove to minimize glare and use improved color rendering lamps (lightbulbs) and ballast technology. Soffits and valances were used to integrate the lighting with the home's architectural features. In most decorative fixtures, CFLs replaced incandescent lamps.
The Lighting Research Center surveyed the opinions of 400 visitors over the course of three weekends. These visitors replied to general questions comparing the house to ten others in the designer showcase tour.A second questionnaire was distributed to 27 paid experimental subjects who were asked to compare the lighting in the demonstration house with that in an otherwise similar home equipped with incandescent lighting.This comparison home was located on a nearby street, built by the same builder, in a similar traditional architectural style and size, and had been used in a previous showcase of homes. Survey respondents were not told that they were evaluating energy-efficient lighting.
Both random visitors and paid subjects rated the energy-efficient lighting not merely as high as the incandescent lighting, but in fact, even higher! Visitors rated the attributes of energy-efficient lighting as equivalent or better on all questions, including those on color appearance, brightness and dimness, shadows, humming sound, light distribution, appearance of people, flicker, visual comfort, visibility, and overall appearance of the home. Nearly 90% of the respondents said that they would like to have this type of lighting in their house.
What follows are tips for making energy-efficient lighting effective and attractive in the home.To maximize energy savings, these techniques should be applied in areas where homeowners spend most of their time, such as in the kitchen, family room, or living room.
One-for-One Substitutions
For general lighting, many homeowners use surface-mounted diffusers— ceiling-mounted diffusers, pendants, and wall sconces—that send light in all directions.Although incandescent fixtures are most common, fluorescent lamps are ideally suited for diffuse light distribution.When selecting a new fixture, consider choosing one that allows for some ventilation rather than one that is tightly enclosed, as high operating temperatures can degrade the electronic circuitry. Many styles of residential surface-mounted light fixtures are now available that meet Energy Star specifications. For the latest list of light fixtures with the Energy Star label, go to www.energystar.gov.
Energy Star light fixtures typically operate pin-based CFLs.Alternatively, homeowners can use screw-based CFLs in their plug-in table lamps or diffusing hard-wired fixtures. CFLs now come in a wide range of wattages and sizes; a few are even designed to be operated with a standard incandescent dimmer (see "CFL Dos and Don'ts").
Architectural Integration
To make fluorescent lighting attractive in the home, integrate uplighting with such architectural features as cabinetry and vaulted ceilings. Uplighting allows light to bounce off the ceiling or walls before it reaches the eye (see photos, p. 14 and 15). Using the architecture to diffuse light will enhance the appearance of the home to create a pleasant, glare-free environment. However, these strategies will work only with light paint colors and matte finishes; dark colors will absorb the light, and glossy finishes will create glaring reflections. Examples of architecturally integrated lighting are valances, soffits, and coves.These effects may require custom wood trim in order to conceal the lamp and promote an architecturally integrated appearance.
Recessed Downlights
Recessed downlights are currently very popular in homes (see "Recessed Lighting in the Limelight,"HE Jan/Feb '04, p. 12).There are cases in which CFL recessed downlights are an appropriate strategy to use for general lighting. Downlights provide good general lighting in rooms with dark, nonreflective colors on their walls. Some homes have low ceilings that preclude the use of uplighting. Or some homeowners may simply want to avoid having surfacemounted
light fixtures in view.Although recessed downlights are not the best use of fluorescent lights, they are more energy efficient than incandescents when used for general lighting. For recessed lighting in shower areas, choose products that have the damp or wet rating required in your area.Although recessed CFLs are appropriate in some cases for general lighting, they should not be used for accent lighting.
Accent Lighting
Accent lighting fixtures, such as recessed adjustable downlights or surface-mounted track lighting, can help to draw attention to displays of cherished possessions (see photo, p. 17). In order to use lighting to accent objects, there must be a ratio of 3:1 or higher between the brightness of an object and the background. (Brightness is measured using a luminance meter, in units of candelas per square meter.) To maximize visual impact and minimize energy use, accent lighting should be used sparingly, and should be operated by means of a separate switch or dimmer.
When the goal is to highlight special objects and not light the surrounding environment, incandescent accent lighting is actually the most energy-efficient solution. Reflectorized incandescent lamps more effectively focus the light on a small area, without spilling light on surrounding surfaces. Fluorescent lighting is diffuse, not directional, which makes it ideal for general lighting, but not appropriate for accent lighting. In order to achieve equivalent light levels in a small area using fluorescent lamps, more watts are necessary, and most of the light would be wasted when absorbed by baffles.
Task Lighting
In the home, people engage in many visually intensive—and sometimes dangerous—tasks, such as chopping food in the kitchen, operating tools, stepping out of the shower, or simply reading.These are instances where task lighting can not only improve visibility but also promote safety. Fluorescent task lights are especially appropriate, because they provide diffuse light and do not burn the skin or other materials when accidentally touched.When providing any kind of lighting, it is important to prevent a direct view of the lamp to minimize glare.
Although these fluorescent lighting techniques may cost more to install than incandescents, they are a good choice for high-use spaces such as kitchens and living rooms. Homeowners who use them can save money over time and can enhance the appearance of their homes.

On the eve of a potential government shutdown in April, a deal was finally on the table to avert the crisis. House Speaker John Boehner stared at President Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and a retinue of White House and Hill aides knowing that his decision would be the most fateful of his young speakership. He understood that his handling of this first clash with Obama would reverberate for months—and quite possibly define his negotiating authority with the White House and with his 87-member freshman class. The tension was palpable. Boehner, reticent both publicly and privately to delve into the divine, did so now.
"Mr. President, I'd like to go home and pray."
The moment bespoke Boehner's complicated role in Washington's new power structure. Obama can't make big deals without Boehner—as the 2011 budget agreement made clear and as the summer swelter over raising the debt ceiling illustrates. But Boehner can't deal without the backing of his 240-member Republican Conference—or, if he does, he can only shed so many votes and retain his credibility and clout. Boehner's speakership is already a study in contrasts and seeming contradictions.
In day-to-day operations, he defers to committee chairmen to a degree not seen since Democratic Speaker Tom Foley (and Boehner is possibly even more accommodating). But on big-ticket items (passing the 2011 budget, raising the debt ceiling, reauthorizing the USA PATRIOT Act, and even negotiating the lame-duck compromise to extend unemployment benefits and the Bush tax cuts), Boehner centralizes power just as tightly as his predecessors have.
Forget the clichés about tightrope walking: Boehner doesn't so much balance as barter—he trades at the highest levels on the biggest deals from a position of legislative strength as the leader of the House. But he must continuously earn and re-earn that position and the leverage that comes with it from his charges, especially the freshmen and those closest to Boehner who purport to speak and lobby on their behalf—Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California.
It is not by accident that Boehner put Cantor in the room with Vice President Joe Biden to negotiate a debt-ceiling increase and the budget cuts and process reforms necessary to win House passage. Boehner gave up some of his power to protect it. The debt deal must have Cantor's fingerprints on it. Boehner's bartering is not only interparty, it's intraparty. And he has protected his power in surprising ways—for instance by letting his freshmen kill a multibillion-dollar defense project important to his Cincinnati district and favored by other top House Republicans. Boehner could have nullified a House vote to kill the F-35 second-engine project, and at times he was tempted. But he deferred to the House's will and, in the process, gained respect and power that may serve as the glue for a debt-ceiling deal and possibly others down the road (tax reform comes instantly to mind). Boehner, in other words, is changing the speaker's office in subtle and consequential ways.
Aranthan Jones, policy director for then-House Majority Whip James Clyburn, D-S.C., and now a lobbyist and principal with the Podesta Group, said that K Street has begun to abandon its habit of burrowing into House leadership circles—Democratic or Republican—and is instead building more-layered operations that seek access to committee chairmen, subcommittee chairmen, and individual lawmakers who take the lead on certain issues.
"That change, I predict, is going to be with us in Washington for a long time," Jones said.
Perhaps, but first Boehner will have to demonstrate that his style of leadership is effective. He'll be judged not only by how far he advances the GOP agenda in this Congress but also by whether voters reward House Republicans in 2012 with another two-year majority or sack them as unceremoniously as they did the Democrats in 2010.
His approach is not without risks. If, for instance, Boehner's willingness to allow House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin to craft a controversial 2012 budget resolution that would transform Medicare proves a political liability for Republicans—as now seems to be the case—Boehner (or his successor) could well conclude that more-centralized power is necessary.
For now, though, the speaker seems intent on fulfilling his pledge to change the way the House operates. Three experiences from his short tenure provide a glimpse into Boehner's bartering-for-power ways.
Boehner's model for running the House comes not from any of his recent predecessors, but from Democrat Sam Rayburn of Texas, who presided as speaker from 1940 to 1961 except for two two-year stretches when Republicans were in a majority.
Republicans, not surprisingly, considered Speaker Nancy Pelosi's rule autocratic and dictatorial, and the GOP caucus's antipathy to the Pelosi era knows no bounds. But the new House leadership also heaps scorn on Republican Speakers Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert for their top-down ways. "Under Hastert, there was an implementing of the idea of winning with a majority of the majority," said Steve Stombres, Cantor's chief of staff. "There was a premium for having to win every vote. Now, committees are told to legislate. They are not being told what the product is. The change is very much real."

How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research?
Is science misconduct an aberration or a common practice? Unintentional corruption of the factual record is commonplace, not so much as a deliberate attempt to engage in fraud but simply because that is accepted practice and procedure in a discipline.
In geology it is common practice to present the best or clearest example of a particular rock type, beddding characteristics, expression of faults and folds, etc. You don't present the average photographs or "the train wrecks" you present the best examples of your field work. Is this fraud? Not if you are a geologist, but some other scientists working in other disciplines not familiar with practice and procedure in your discipline.might brand that as fraud.
Here is some sobering data when it comes to what we expect in the coming years in science:
How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Survey Data
Daniele Fanelli
"To standardize outcomes, the number of respondents who recalled at least one incident of misconduct was calculated for each question, and the analysis was limited to behaviours that distort scientific knowledge: fabrication, falsification, "cooking" of data, etc.
A pooled weighted average of 1.97% (N = 7, 95%CI: 0.86–4.45) of scientists admitted to have fabricated, falsified or modified data or results at least once –a serious form of misconduct by any standard– and up to 33.7% admitted other questionable research practices. In surveys asking about the behaviour of colleagues, admission rates were 14.12% (N = 12, 95% CI: 9.91–19.72) for falsification, and up to 72% for other questionable research practices. Meta-regression showed that self reports surveys, surveys using the words "falsification" or "fabrication" "fabrication", and mailed surveys yielded lower percentages of misconduct. When these factors were controlled for, misconduct was reported more frequently by medical/pharmacological researchers than others.
Dec 21 2012: I don't know any exact answer to that question - yet I thnk the problem starts at school and university.
Case in point - I enrolled in an honours physics course at university. What was attractive to this program was that it has been completely revamped - since enrolment in Physics had dwindled to zero the previous year.
In one Physics lab, the assignment was to do the classical measurement of e/m. It was standard lab equipment. People worked in teams. The first team could not come up with the "correct answer" using that apparatus. The prof assigned a second team and they couldn't get the "right answer" either -although they did get the same measurement as the first team.
The prof then assigned both teams the problem of "why were they getting the wrong answer?". The first team couldn't explain it, but cam up with an amusing rewrite of all of physics to explain the answer they got. The second team noticed the filament was held taut in the apparatus by a spring at both ends. The current would pass through these springs (coils actuallY) and create an electromagnetic field that would affext the answers. Estimating the size of the coils and calulating and subtracting the effect of the coils from the answer gave you a pretty good number - close to the right answer at least.
Now the $100 question. Decades of students used this apparatus and ALWAYS were able to generate "the correct answer" - but the apparatus was incapable of doing so. Whats going on? Decades of student learned to get the mark, they had to present the "right answer", even if they had to fudge the results.
So methinks this is a learned behaviour.Dec 22 2012: There are scientists who work for multinationals like cigarettes makers and pharmaceutical companies that come up with all sorts of dodgy research results that would water down the dangers or side effects of their products.
Because so many people would believe anything as long as it is from a scientist, many in the field have been used to strengthen arguements in support of questionable positions of politicians and economic interests.
But it is not just about the fact that they are scientists, as they saw, "The devil makes the greatest gains by masquerading as an angel of light".
edward long
Dec 21 2012: If you research the word "retraction" as it applies to scientific papers you will get some relevant information. Of course retraction only comes into play when the falsehood/error/deception is discovered, so how many go undiscovered?

Dec 21 2012: "How Many Scientists Fabricate and Falsify Research?"
- +1
It depends on the field: it's common in the social and medical fields (because of the uncertain nature of the research it's just easier to cheat or for things to go wrong), but less so in the natural sciences, though it does occur. You will most often find something erroneous in a journal, not so much in text books. Do note that in the social and medical sciences many "fabrications" are actually math errors that the authors themselves are not aware of and often there are also practical restrictions (small test groups for example) that the researchers are forced to work with.

Dec 21 2012: A lot of them regarding global warming.Dec 24 2012: When scientists are for hire, there will be bias in the research. Unfortunately, someone has to pay the bills.Dec 24 2012: Don't know , how many but it is there that's for sure....

It's a matter of morality.
Good thing about science is , being evidence based to great extent science itself has it's instinct ability to prove psudoscience or falsification to be falseDec 22 2012: Scientist are no better than the next person when it comes to cheating. There is always someone who can be bought, else where do the creationist scientists come from?
I have personally seen examples of "cherry picking" evidence with under or non-reporting of outliers (I see this a lot in medical research)
Any any result that shows the data supports the stated position or premise "too" well should be questioned.
That is how science works is by peer review of results, re-done by a different group attempting to disprove the intiial paper. That is how scientists become famous is by proving something wrong.
If a paper is not presented to a peer review journal for repudiation by other groups that it is not worth reading. period.Dec 22 2012: The current evidence of research fraud may provide a serious under-estimate of the problem. We are assuming that once a research institute discovers that it is employing a fraudster, it will take corrective action.
But fraud damages an institute's reputation. So there is a strong temptation to bury fraud instead of exposing it.
Detecting this institutional or "meta-fraud" is particularly difficult because of our wishful thinking that research institutes as collective bodies are honest. We must break out of this mindset in order to defend the integrity of science.
An example of meta-fraud and the mindset that prevents its exposure is presented at

Dec 22 2012: Or is the reverse true- that it is an aspect of modern culture, at least in some places, for so many people to suspect/believe fraud is rampant among others, even when the actual evidence suggests the extent is very small?

Fraudulent information by a small margin of scientists (for reasons I'm not entirely sure of) isn't too significant of a factor due to the falsification model that science is bound by.
Claims must be substantiated, repeatable, correlative with other facts associated with it (if applicable) and must have detailed analysis of the step-by-step procedure done to reach the conclusion.
This is why when select scientists do attempt to fabricate results, its eventually found to be so when the test/claim is repeated.
Not to say that we should accept this type of behavior in any way/degree.
Anyone found doing so should be fired and have their credentials revoked immediately.
But still, the point is that it isn't as problematic as it may seem.
Dec 21 2012: That depends on what you define as "problematic". When the majority of recent graduates say that they would alter, falsify or omit data if meant getting a paper published or a grant approved, I define that as "problematic".Dec 21 2012: With money involved, directly or indirectly,
more than you would like to know.

Misconduct is the main cause of life-sciences retractions
"Conventional wisdom says that most retractions of papers in scientific journals are triggered by unintentional errors. Not so, according to one of the largest-ever studies of retractions. A survey1 published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that two-thirds of retracted life-sciences papers were stricken from the scientific record because of misconduct such as fraud or suspected fraud — and that journals sometimes soft-pedal the reason.The analysis revealed that fraud or suspected fraud was responsible for 43% of the retractions. Other types of misconduct — duplicate publication and plagiarism — accounted for 14% and 10% of retractions, respectively. Only 21% of the papers were retracted because of error"
For some reason the life sciences are rife with fraud. Does this have anything to do with the fact that living systems are the most complicated in the physical world so causality for disease or other aspects of living systems is too complicated to map or measure accurately? What does this say about all the inevitable bad science, as indicated here, that will impede the progress in cancer, heart disease, diabetes research when so much bad science is published? Obviously, the retracted papers are only part of the problem; think of all the bad data that gets included in the published articles.
Perhaps the edict should be, "Publish, perish, plagiarize, engage in fraud or engage in polemics or else you will fail as a scientist."
Dec 21 2012: What percentage of life science papers are retracted? 66% of a very small number is a very small number, and suspected fraud may not, in fact, be fraud.
I think people for some reason love to believe that science is much more fraught with fraud than it is. This may be a competitive instinct to bring accomplished people a notch down.
In the study reported, modification of data could refer to omitting an obvious coding error. I am not surprised that the numbers come way down when you ask about falisification or fabrication of data.
Dec 21 2012: Hi Fritzie,
Here is the part of the Nature article most applicable to your question:
"The latest study shows a ten-fold increase (to about 0.01%) in the proportion of papers retracted owing to fraud since 1975. Previous analyses have seen a growing trend in retractions in general5, but the latest report sheds new light on the extent to which fraud is responsible. It also found a correlation between journal impact factor and the number of fraud-induced retractions, says Ferric Fang, a microbiologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, who led the study.
Influential journals, including Science, Nature, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Cell, all appear in the top-ten list of publications with retractions because of fraud or suspected fraud (see 'Top ten retractors'). For some journals, including the two topping the table — The Journal of Biological Chemistry and Anesthesia & Analgesia — the tally was boosted by multiple retractions from the same few individuals, such as anaesthesiologist Joachim Boldt, formerly of the Ludwigshafen Clinical Center in Germany. Indeed, Fang and his colleagues found that 38 research groups with five or more retractions accounted for 44% of articles linked to fraud or suspected fraud."
Fritzie -
Dec 21 2012: Thanks. Here is another part of that report: In 2007 there were 96 papers retracted out of 1, 000,000.
- +1
This is 1 of 10,416 or .0096%.
If of these 66% are retracted because of suspected fraud, that is 1 in 15,873, or .006%. Actual fraud will be lower.
And, as you write, a large proportion of the potentially fraudulent results are multiple false or potentially false representations by the same people.
That, along with what you cite that almost half the cases come from groups that submitted mutiple false papers, the numbers of scientists submitting fraudulent work are tiny compared to the amount of activity.Dec 21 2012: What is far more alarming is the number of recent graduates most of whom would engage in unethical behavior if meant getting a grant approved or getting a paper published. Also from the initial article: "Finally, routine data audits conducted by the US Food and Drug Administration between 1977 and 1990 found deficiencies and flaws in 10–20% of studies, and led to 2% of clinical investigators being judged guilty of serious scientific misconduct [18]."

There are avid shoppers… and then there are avid shoppers– those who are ready to turn away from the call of sumptuous turkey feasts to score this season's biggest savings. This year, Target was among the stores that offered this after-dinner shopping "event". Doors at Target stores opened at 9PM, and featured amazing Black Friday deals such as a Nook Simple Touch e-reader for $49, and a Nikon L310 digital camera for $99, among other offers from electronics and toys to fashion and home décor.
Even the top honchos at Target left their own dinners early. Gregg Steinhafel, Chairman, President and CEO, Target, was at a Minneapolis, MN Target store last night to welcome the holiday shoppers.
We've got photos from the event below.

I discovered a new technique last week called Nitrogen Cavitation or Nitrogen Infusions, which allow liquids to absorb the flavor, and only the flavor, of something aromatic with a nitrogen charge. (Think basil, mint, coffee beans, etc…)
My thoughts instantly took me to what sorts of ingredients I would want only the flavor from and nothing more… obviously things with a high caloric count like chocolate, or… things that just aren't good for you but taste heavenly… BACON! And what sort of liquid would I want tasting like bacon? Certainly not water, that wouldn't be refreshing. Most definitely… WHISKEY!
4 strips bacon, cooked completely
1 cup whiskey
1 N2O (Nitrous Oxide) charger
Place 4 strips of bacon in the ISI Whip canister and pour in 1 cup of whiskey. Screw on the N2O charger, and the whiskey will absorb the bacon flavors without giving you those extra unwanted calories. Let the whiskey sit for about 15 minutes for the flavors to fully develop, then place in freezer for 5 minutes. Strain through a cheese cloth or fine mesh strainer to remove any bits of bacon remnants and enjoy!
Feeling extra frisky? Pour the Bacon Whiskey back in the ISI Whip, give it a CO2 charge, and presto… Carbonated Bacon Whiskey!
With the first of my Nitrogen Infusion experiments a success, I can't stop thinking about how else I want to use this brilliant technique. Caramel Champagne anyone? Cinnamon Chardonnay?
CONCLUSION: The flavors are strongest after 20 minutes, and it's definitely worth the wait!
More info at: http://breakingtheculinarymold.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/bacon-whiskey/
Would the extra juices from cooking the bacon slightly less than usual provide more material and lead to a stronger flavor, or just taint the liquid with grease?
And are there certain liquids which the chemical composition would make more/ less receptive to this process than others?
It holds a little NO2 charge that looks like a CO2 charge for BB/pellet rifles.
You put your cream, or what-have-you, in the charger and it works like a
can of "ReddiWhip'' whipcream.
Can be found in all kitchen/cooking supply stores, most major dept stores in the kitchen gadget sections.
One of the purposes of web services like this is to set one on the path to knowledge, to stir the desire to investigate, discover and create.
It is helpful to know how to use basic tools and among the most basic and useful tools on the Interwebs is the Search function.
Use it early, often ... and a bit sceptically; What? Oh, just Google sceptically.
Google is run by God, and I am a disciple.
now i'll leave you to your god who runs google. wut..
The Internet is a rich sea of knowledge, and Google is like one of those fish finders - once you learn how to use it, you'll never have to rely on any single source for an answer. You were getting uselessly upset because you should have found your own answer.
I'm hopelessly hooked on finding my own answers because I was raised in foster homes, and never got an education, so I had to teach myself everything - and I still do. Sorry to insult your petulance.
(metaphorically speaking, i already know how to fish. off topic: i also know how to fish for real :D )
i also had to teach everything myself and i still do.
but for this one, i simply didn't have the time. it wasn't even that important for me to want to make the time, so i simply asked, thinking "mneh.. someone will answer and tell me.. if not, so be it :| i don't care" it was a simple unimportant curiosity.
it wasn't the case here, but sometimes i also ask stuff because i am simply to lazy to search for the answer myself. not because i don't know how. yes, you could say it's a luxury. or that i may be spoiled. so what?
...but a lesson in google searching was the last thing i needed :|
In other words, one would have to be extremely full of time to ask this question and wait for an answer. A person whose time was precious would have googled it.
It's fine if you don't google it. But please, don't then say that your time is precious when it would have saved you time to google. And especially don't spend even more precious time arguing how precious your time is when it's obvious that you wanted someone else to do your thinking for you, and you didn't mind waiting for an answer.
i clearly asked about "Nitrogen charger", because that's what the instructable asked for.
your wiki article is about "Whipped cream charger", not "nitrogen charger".
how was i supposed to know that "Whipped cream charger" was in fact, what i should be searching for instead?
i don't need the kind of responses you are giving, and especially not the way you are giving them. go and troll somewhere else.
user "illuminatis" was very kind and explained it all to me in a few words in a private message. thanks.
Couple direct links: Whip-it $37 (http://www.webstaurantstore.com/whip-it-1-liter-professional-cream-whipper/407WHC32.html?utm_source=Amazon&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Amazon+Campaign)
iSi whip- $77 http://www.amazon.com/iSi-Creative-Polished-Stainless-Dessert/dp/B002H3NFNM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1311614023&sr=8-2
And then you can choose whether you want to buy the CO2 chargers (to carbonate) or the Nitrogen Chargers. Interchangeable with the whips!
It sells in large stores in USA or you can get it by mail order from www.baconsalt.com
If you're in Europe you'll find the posting cost is high and it takes a couple of weeks to deliver - BUT - A UK company called Crazy4Flavour sells mail order to Western Europe www.Crazy4Flavour.co.uk
I keep a shaker-jar in my coat pocket so I can add instant bacon flavour wherever I'm eating-out . . . . . It even makes airline meals taste good :)
Sorry the flavour didn't work for you; everyone's taste buds are different - J&D's works for most people (it does for me and the kids) but not for everyone.
@violentor - It's not so much dissolving the Baconsalt - more a "infuse". Not tried it with Whiskey (or even Whisky!), but it works for me with Vodka.
I think you are willing to take corners people interested in this instructable are purposefully trying to avoid. I like the taste of bacon, not salt. I also like the idea that it's pretty translucent, oppose to little bits floating in my liquor. Maybe you should take this concepts you keep trying to convince us of and write your own instructable with them and then make all the comments there about how people should do it your way. It might be more effective.
Instead of making everything taste like bacon, it makes everything taste like imitation bacon, which I guess is to be expected as it's intended to be vegetarian-safe. Regardless, I found it pretty disappointing and not very tasty.
This is what I have heard explained several times to people who complained that Whiskey Rocks don't actually cool the drink hardly at all or keep it cold.
I have no experience with them, personally. I'm not into shoving rocks in my drinks or whiskey itself, for that matter. I just wanted to find out how they made it bacon flavored.
I actually bought the Whiskey Stones at Sur la Table.
Maybe someone out there can put up a Instructable for this or a similar project?
