  • Never known from shying away from saying something incredibly stupid, The View’s Joy Behar said that Tim Tebow could have “easily become some kind of a rapist pedophile.”
  • Some stem cell researchers are claiming that a small group of scientists are blocking their work from being published:
  • The open letter to the major scientific journals claims that “papers that are scientifically flawed or comprise only modest technical increments often attract undue profile. At the same time publication of truly original findings may be delayed or rejected”….

    These kinds of allegations are not new and not confined to stem cell research. But professors Smith and Lovell-Badge believe that the problem has become particularly acute in their field of research recently for two reasons.
    Firstly, research grants and career progression are now determined almost entirely by whether a scientist gets published in a major research journal. Secondly, in stem cell science, hundreds of millions of pounds are available for research – and so there is a greater temptation for those that want the money to behave unscrupulously.

  • In the UK, the papers are ablaze with the story of soccer star John Terry’s affair with an ex-teammate’s now former girlfriend and how she had an abortion after becoming pregnant.
