This has an importance rating of 5 out of 5 in my book. From my friend Anthony Watts.
Peer review is broken – Springer announces 64 papers retracted due to fake reviews

Yeah, right, “the science is settled.” Only to agenda driven non-scientist dopes.
This has become my off topic thread. Here is another. HEADS UP!
There are two new science programs airing on KIXE PBS this week. Both are absolutely outstanding. One is the The Mystery of Matter and the other is Women in Chemistry: Lessons From Life and the Laboratory. The former appears to be a series, the later I cannot find on http://www.pbs.org but it may be a series too.
Evidently there are four episodes of the The Mystery of Matter on KIXE being aired recently, check the schedule — http://www.kixe.org/
Also look for Women in Chemistry: Lessons From Life and the Laboratory.
Here is the link to , episodes of which can be viewed online — http://video.pbs.org/program/mystery-matter/
The Mystery of Matter Episode 3: Into the Atom includes how “Glenn Seaborg created a new element that changes the world.” My father was one of Seaborg’s team and is credited for co-discovering Nobelium. (Creating, actually, since the half-life is so short none of it cannot be found naturally).

Here I go off topic again. Like anyone ever reads this stuff.
I guess this is something. The unindicted criminal Hillary Clinton not yet been criminally charged, but at least one judge had the balls to say her highness has violated “policy.”
Judge says Hillary Clinton’s private emails violated policy

Will the DOJ and the FBI have the balls to charge and arrest her for violations of national security laws?
Recently Hillary sported a bright orange pantsuit. Was that prescient? She should be sporting bright orange coveralls and full restraint chains while being walked into court. The sooner the better.
