...ruthless men in the military and police, helped make Aceh possibly the most corrupt province in one of the world's most corrupt countries. He is well aware that a previous governor, the widely loathed Abdullah Puteh, was also in jail, in Jakarta, when the tsunami came, awaiting trial over a helicopter scam for which he was later convicted...
...Allen scoured Pasir Pajang for weeks before beginning his experiments, and found himself hand chopping kilos of coriander and ginger. Some initially promising ingredients-such as kaffir lime-produced undrinkable beer. But months of trial and error paid off, and you can now sample the results at the Archipelago pub near Boat Quay. At over $6 a pint, the new brews are dearer than standard lager, but they're undeniably tastier and more interesting. True to Teo's vision, they feature ingredients like tamarind, palm sugar, ginger, lemongrass and even wolfberries, which are normally used in traditional Chinese medicine...
...replacement therapy would help prevent heart disease in women. And it has clearly saved lives. Many doctors used to give anti-arrhythmia drugs to everyone who experienced irregular heartbeats after a heart attack because severely irregular beats could rapidly prove fatal. But then came the results of a randomized trial showing that patients with only mildly irregular heartbeats were more likely to die if given the anti-arrhythmia medication than their untreated counterparts were. Doctors now prescribe more judiciously, though treatment still saves lives in the case of severe arrhythmias...
...moving target. Physicians who encouraged their female patients to take hormone-replacement therapy to prevent heart problems later on were practicing a kind of evidence-based medicine, since the best available evidence at the time--observational studies and the like--suggested a benefit. Of course, when a randomized controlled trial showed otherwise, the advice changed. Even at that, the case is not entirely closed. Some researchers now believe there may be a window of opportunity right around the years of menopause during which hormone-replacement therapy could help the heart. Proving that would, naturally, require another study...
...police were dispatched last summer to help police get a handle on crime, and will remain in the city until at least June. And the city's crime lab remains closed after being inundated with floodwater - a major factor, both Riley and Jordan agree, in the delay in getting trial-ready evidence to the D.A.'s office, since lab testing has had to be sent out to other jurisdictions...
