A NEW WAY to trick skin cells into acting like embryos changes both everything and nothing at all. Being able to reprogram skin cells into multipurpose stem cells without harming embryos launches an exciting new line of research. It's important to remember, though, that we're at square one, uncertain at this early stage whether souped-up skin cells hold the same promise as their embryonic cousins do. Far from vindicating the current U.S. policy of withholding federal funds from many of those working to develop potentially lifesaving embryonic stem cells, recent papers in the journals Science and Cell described a breakthrough achieved despite political restrictions. In fact, work by both the U.S. and Japanese teams that reprogrammed skin cells depended entirely on previous embryonic stem...

MEADVILLE, Pa., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A solid majority of Americans, 58 percent, believe the tone of political discourse has become worse since Barack Obama was elected president, according to a survey by the Center for Political Participation at Allegheny College. This figure has increased by 10 percent since the center's previous survey on civility and politics, completed in April 2010. Many of us assumed that the tone of politics would improve after the drama over the health care debate died down. But most Americans don't see it that way," noted Daniel M. Shea, director of the Center for Political Participation and co-author of the new study. "We're still waiting for the thaw. It's still awfully nasty out there.

MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 19, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Building on its April 2010 survey on the growing incivility in politics, the Center for Political Participation (CPP) at Allegheny College, in conjunction with Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW), today released the findings of new polling data that suggests Americans see politics as increasingly nasty and that the current political tone may be harmful to our democracy. Still, an overwhelming majority believe that passionate but respectful campaigning is possible. Some 63 percent of respondents in the latest civility poll, conducted during the last four days leading up to the November midterm elections, believe politics has become less civil since President Barack Obama took office nearly two years ago. This is ...

[Luke Ravenstahl] is referred to in various blogs as "Opie," "Interim Mayor Ravenstahl," and, lately, "Handcuffs." He is not alone, of course: [John McIntire] regularly refers to his alleged political ally as Mr. Peduto-Head. To PittGirl, the pseudonymous author of The Burgh Blog, mayoral spokesman [Dick Skrinjar] is usually "Mayor Ravenstahl's Chief of Making Shit Up. Already, the handcuffing story has burst the blog world's self-reflective bubble.

Cahn says that reliable evaluators do not indulge in captious criticism or inordinate praise. Wall notes that a journal's ranking is a good indicator of the research quality of individual papers in the journal. Chapron and Husté contend that decisions in research management are often driven by metrics ranking research quality. Hix states that the content of scientific journals is determined by the subjective judegments of journal editors and article reviewers. Scott holds that academic freedom protects those whose thinking challenges orthodoxy.
