Worse yet, nearly 32 percent of the retracted papers are not noted as retracted. “Retracted” in scientific language means that the paper has been withdrawn and should be ignored — as though it never existed in the scientific literature. Retractions generally occur because of sloppy research and errors in the data calculations, collection or statistics, or because of fraud. Is this a trend pointing to lower quality research and sloppier methods being employed? Or perhaps that because more people than ever can read the scientific research...

What is the mission statement of the Louisville Area Skeptics?  Why are you a skeptic? I created the Louisville Area Skeptics as an opportunity for people from Louisville and the surrounding areas to meet and share their love of science, their interest in critical thinking, and their skeptical worldview through social events and informal science presentations by professional scientists. I’ve been a skeptic since I was a young teenager and discovered the writings of Carl Sagan. Being a skeptic is a way for me to use science to evaluate ...

Attending and listening at open AA meetings does not seem to be a problem at most AA groups. But non-alcoholics are not allowed to speak or share at AA meetings; or join AA.The reason for this is AA’s singleness of purpose principle. The Traditions of AA are as follows;Number – 3 – The only requirement for A.A. membership is a desire to stop drinking.Number – 5 – Each group has but one primary purpose – to carry the message to the alcoholic who still suffers.These and others have been adhered to around the world to prevent the message of AA to alcoholics being diluted.Bill Ure...

My mom and her siblings had a few years earlier, lost their father. And now they would inevitably lose their mother in spirit. At that time, I was in my early twenties and had the luxury of never really knowing the woman my family was afraid of losing. I took that opportunity to really be with her, get to know her and listen to what she had to say when she could say it. Those moments would prove valuable to me. After she was unable to live by herself, my family moved her to a care home. Although she couldn’t remember who I was when I visited, she would always remember my name. She would often count me as one of her daughters instead of her granddaughter. Her ...

She helped found the organization that eventually became the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI), and was a tireless advocate on behalf of people with mental health concerns. It’s no wonder — her son had schizophrenia. Today the organization Mrs. Shetler helped start, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has affiliates in every state and more than 1,100 communities. It offers support to the mentally ill and people living with them; promotes research and education on mental illness; and lobbies governments on mental health concerns. NAMI was formed in 1977 when Shetler and Beverly Young, a mother who also had a son with schizophrenia, met over lunch to discuss the similar challenges they shared raising a child wit...

As a hospital admissions officer in the 1930s in Akron, Ohio, Sr. Ignatia befriended Dr. Bob Smith, co-founder of AA, and courageously arranged for the hospitalization of alcoholics at a time when alcoholism was viewed as a character weakness rather than a disease. Between 1935 and 1965 she successfully treated thousands of alcoholics. Sister Ignatia pioneered the recognition of alcoholism among priests and nuns. She was remembered for her kindness, honesty and nonjudgmental love. “The alcohol...
