Dr Andrew Wakefield is the doctor who researched if there was a connection between the MMR jab and autism. The research was controversial for a number of reasons, like the media reaction, financial motivations and the reduction in child vaccination numbers.
The General Medical Council investigated the research methods used by Dr Wakefield and stated today "he acted in a way that was dishonest, misleading and irresponsible[...]Wakefield had already been discredited after a series of research projects failed to find any link between the triple MMR vaccine and autism."-Guardian.
With evidence that Dr. Wakefield carried out unnecessary invasive tests like lumbar punctures, the GMC struck Dr.Wakefield off the medical register.

A test done in the UK examines one man's driving ability after smoking cannabis.
Driving drunk is dangerous, irresponsible, and a major cause of traffic fatalities. But what about cannabis intoxication? Does it affect motor skills as severely as alcohol?
http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=5450
“Cannabis leads to a more cautious style of driving, [but] it has a negative impact on decision time and trajectory. [However,] this in itself does not mean that drivers under the influence of cannabis represent a traffic safety risk. … Cannabis alone, particularly in low doses, has little effect on the skills involved in automobile driving.”
REFERENCE: Canadian Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs. 2002. Cannabis: Summary Report: Our Position for a Canadian Public Policy. Ottawa. Chapter 8: Driving Under the Influence of Cannabis.
"Evidence from the present and previous studies strongly suggests that alcohol encourages risky driving whereas THC encourages greater caution, at least in experiments. Another way THC seems to differ qualitatively from many other drugs is that the formers users seem better able to compensate for its adverse effects while driving under the influence.”
REFERENCE: H. Robbe. 1995. Marijuana’s effects on actual driving performance. In: C. Kloeden and A. McLean (Eds) Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety T-95. Adelaide: Australia: HHMRC Road Research Unit, University of Adelaide. Pp. 11-20.

General Motors Corp. is expected to announce Friday it's cutting about 170,000 vehicles from its planned production this year, closing factories for as long as nine weeks this summer as the automaker works to dramatically toughen its restructuring plan before a June 1 government deadline.
At the same time, the White House is continuing to keep up the pressure on Chrysler and Fiat SpA to win concessions and make a deal before an April 30 deadline or face a likely bankruptcy filing.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama was briefed on the status of the auto industry talks by Steve Rattner, the Treasury Department's top auto adviser, and others on the intense negotiations between Chrysler and its stakeholders.
But the fallout is continuing from low auto sales. GM is likely to announce more bad news Monday when it lays out more details of its restructuring plan as part of its bond exchange offer.
Mark LaNeve, GM's North America vice president of vehicle sales, service and marketing, declined to confirm the report that GM would sharply cut production.
"I can say that since October of last year when the market collapsed all (manufacturers) have been slashing production to align inventory with the weaker market," LaNeve said on Wednesday.
Auto sales -- down 38 percent in the first three months of the year -- remain down in April. AutoNation, the nation's biggest auto dealer group, cut new car orders by 60 percent in the first three months.
Separately, GM's chief financial officer Ray Young told reporters in Detroit that a GM bankruptcy filing was "probable" and that the automaker was unlikely to make a $1 billion debt payment due June 1.General Motors Corp. is expected to announce Friday it's cutting about 170,000... more
