New record for faking data set by Japanese researcher:

Of 212 papers credited to the researcher, the investigation only found clear indications of supportive data for three. At least 172 of the rest are clearly based on fabricated data. Fujii apparently claimed his studies were all double-blind and performed at multiple institutions, factors that would make tracking down the underlying data more challenging. And, to make sure he had indications of collaborators at other institutions, he simply forged their signatures on papers he submitted.

...


Assuming all of the fraudulent papers get retracted, Fujii will set a new record for the most retractions ever, more than doubling his closest competitor. At Retraction Watch, where they follow these issues closely, they're pondering whether anesthesia itself has a problem. Of over 2,000 papers that have been retracted over the last four decades, a full 13 percent have involved anesthesiologists.

Strip spelling bees.

Strip spelling bees are the latest hipster twist on burlesque

Peter, a trim young soldier complete with dog tags, is onstage at Toronto's Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, pondering the correct spelling of the word "caduceus." Sombre quiz-show music plays over the speakers as Peter is informed that a caduceus, which traces back to Greek mythology, is a staff with a double helix of entwined snakes.

"C-A-D-U," he begins. And then, with an impish grin, "ampersand, tilde, question mark."

"You spell exquisitely," says Sherwin Tjia, founder and host of the Honeysuckle Strip Spelling Bee, as the crowd of 80 roars in rowdy approval. A visibly tipsy Tjia manages to tap at his laptop and switch to a soundtrack of raunchy R&B, since the penalty for misspelling a word at this particular spelling bee is removing a third of one's clothing. After three rounds, two winners are declared - best speller and best striptease - which should make Peter's competitive interests fairly obvious.

A slightly more cerebral variant on burlesque, Tjia's Strip Spelling Bee began in Montreal in March of last year. Although it attracted immediate attention, Tjia says it took a few attempts to "work in the kinks" and tweak the pacing. After its Buddies debut last week, Strip Spelling Bee joins Slowdance Night on the list of events that he has successfully imported to Toronto.

"I didn't expect that so many participants would get completely naked," says Tjia, a medical illustrator and graphic novelist who enjoys creating quirky events for quirky hipsters in his spare time. Contestants get to decide if they want to keep their underwear on or not, and a strict no-booing policy and ban on audience photography help to generate a safe and inclusive atmosphere. Indeed, some of the biggest cheers of the evening went to Adam, a guy whose non-gym physique can be best described as beautifully average.

Unlike Peter, many of the other 12 contestants desperately tried to keep their clothes on, despite facing words such as "flibbertigibbet" and "bouillabaisse." "This was for the best," says Laurie, who won as best speller, "since I'm very good at spelling and very bad at stripping."

Tjia compares Strip Spelling Bee to events like Toronto Roller Derby, the Pillow Fight League and various burlesque troupes. And given the saucy language and queer-friendly atmosphere, Gay Bingo is another obvious comparison point. One of the evening's highlights - other than seeing a leggy Tjia host the event in drag - is the filthy language employed when a contestant asks for their word to be used in a sentence. An otherwise unprintable Tjia riff concluded with "I was a victim of detumescence."

While Montreal is a great quirk incubator, Tjia is envious of Toronto's professional approach to indie culture, which invariably leads to websites, merchandise and TV deals. Not that he harbours any animus - Tjia was born in Toronto, moved to Montreal 10 years ago to attend university and feels that both cities have a similar sensibility.


Until Tjia decides to go pro with Strip Spelling Bee, however, he must continue the great Canadian tradition of offering modest game-show prizes. Laurie (the best speller) and a woman named Troy (who was declared the best stripper) each received a bottle of red wine, a CD featuring the sound of cats purring for more than an hour and a DVD of Tjia's friend sleeping in a sexy tank top.

As for the other 11 brave contestants? As Tjia notes, they may have lost, but the audience most certainly won.

NIMBY at its finest.

“NIMBY” is the well-known acronym that stands for “not in my back yard” and signifies opposition to new development or construction located near one’s home or neighborhood. Scholars have documented NIMBY politics with regard to such things as nuclear power plants and hazardous waste treatment plants.
But now a new menace is coming to the Friendship Heights neighborhood of Bethesda, Md., something far more terrifying than hazardous waste: a children’s playground. Bethesda Now reporter Aaron Kraut had the good fortune to attend the most recent meeting of the Friendship Heights Council:
Residents of the Village of Friendship Heights walked up to the microphone to warn of increased alcohol use, decreasing property values and even sexual activity if the proposal were to be approved.
“Honestly, you’d believe we’re building a casino in Friendship Heights,” resident Ryan Mooney said.
The proposal that had so many residents bothered at a Village Council meeting on Monday night wasn’t for a casino. It was for a kids playground and a gazebo in a mostly empty park at 4623 North Park Ave.
Let us delve into the horrors of this proposed playground. First, the playground will fail to stop dogs from pooping:
“You’ve attempted to justify the park with some strange things,” 4620 North Park resident Paula Durbin told the Council. “Converting the park to a playground will not get rid of dog poop.”

Maybe the playground will bring hazardous waste after all! Then there’s the proposed gazebo. You know what those are good for, right?
“Finally, sex in the park. People have sex in the park,” Durbin said. “Just get the gazebo in there and you’re really going to have sex in the park.”
And people having sex in a gazebo surrounded by dog poop means what? Plummeting home values!
“With all due respect, I’m also very familiar with real estate and investment,” a resident of the Willoughby later said. “Location, location, location. In order to get anyone in the residence, you have to get curb appeal. A tot park will take away from curb appeal.”
Somehow, the Council saw fit to approve the park with a 5-1 vote despite these concerns. Living as I do just mile or two from this Friendship Heights park, I can only pray that the scourge this playground will bring doesn’t end up in, well, my back yard.
