Analysis of the study, conducted in China between 2002 and 2006, is ongoing, but researchers based at Vanderbilt University and the Shanghai Institute of Preventive Medicine report data from the first four years of follow-up (total follow-up was five years) in the current issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The 5,042 women enrolled in the study were all breast-cancer survivors, ages 20 to 75, and they consumed soy from naturally occurring sources, such as tofu or soybeans; none of the women took soy supplements. They fell into two groups based on soy intake...
Perhaps most damningly, in an e-mail from 1999, Jones refers to one of Mann's studies from the prominent journal Nature in a discussion of his own data: "I've just completed Mike's Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e. from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline." (By the "decline," Jones is presumably referring to the fact that temperature data reconstructed from tree-ring density - a common way to estimate global temperatures before the widespread use of the thermometer - diverges somewhat from...
...Mann and Jones' apparent effort to punish the journal Climate Research, the paper that ignited his indignation is a 2003 study that turned out to be underwritten by the American Petroleum Institute. Eventually half the editorial board of the journal quit in protest. And even if CRU's climate data turns out to have some holes, the group is only one of four major agencies, including NASA, that contribute temperature data to major climate models - and CRU's data largely matches up with the others...
...HOUBEN, a Belgian man who was mistakenly presumed to be in a coma for 23 years after becoming paralyzed in a car crash. A recent journal article revealed that doctors, using new scanning techniques, discovered in 2006 that Houben, who could not speak, had normal brain function. He now communicates using a special keyboard...
...feud has erupted between U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy and Bishop Thomas Tobin, Rhode Island's top Catholic leader, over whether the pro-choice lawmaker should be allowed to receive Communion. On Nov. 20, the son of the late Ted Kennedy told the Providence Journal that Tobin had ordered him not to partake of the sacrament--an accusation the bishop later denied, saying it had been merely a request. The spat is the latest between Tobin and Kennedy, who sparred in October after Kennedy criticized church leaders for supporting the veto of a health care bill unless it included restrictions...
