Here are links I found interesting on December 30, 2011:

• Debunked Science: Studies Take Heat In 2011 – 2011 may go down as the year of the retraction in the scientific world.
• ‘Outrage’ Over Verizon’s Plan For $2 Payment Fee – I don't see the "convenience" here. Right now, I pay via electronic billing from my bank. Not sure if this would affect me, but frankly, I think this policy is a HUGE mistake.
• The Fat Trap – Once we get fat, it's nearly possible to lose weight and keep it off.
