First, with regard to oil as the cleaner, greener fuel:

That article remided me of something I’ve thought for ages. I keep expecting one day to see a paper towel dispenser in a public bathroom that says: “Unlike the hot air hand dryers that contribute to global warming directly and via the electricty used, you are using a renewable resource that produces only biodegradable waste – much better for the environment.”

And the story on leprosy in Arkansas has an addendum, which isn’t exactly a retraction or a correction, but perhaps a clarification:

The Arkansas Department of Health in Little Rock says some Northwest Arkansas doctors have wrong information that’s leading them to fears of leprosy cases. The health department tells 5News because leprosy is such a rare disease, some Arkansas doctors often don’t have the most up-to-date information on it. The health department says some doctors have incorrect information to begin with. Thursday, Springdale Doctor Jennifer Bingham told 5News there were nine cases of leprosy in the Springdale Marshallese population. Those cases are not new. In fact, the health department has been tracking them for the last two to three years.
