If that really is baffling German health experts maybe they need to employ some health experts that understand stats.

The other option is that it's all bollocks and newspapers need to employ journalists that understand stats.

This is the moment a terrified mother and her helpless baby were almost swept away by a rapidly rising tide.

Patients' lives will be at risk during Olympics as ambulances are 'banned' from using fast lane reserved for VIPs

Quote:
Meanwhile ambulances will only be allowed in the lanes if they have their blue lights on.


So not "banned" at all. A situation no different from emergency vehicles and red traffic lights, then. Sensible comments pointing this out red arrowed, naturally.

Can some children simply 'grow out' of autism? One mother tells how her son's life has been transformed

Quote:
When Josh Tutin was three years old, he was diagnosed with autism so severe that experts believed it unlikely he would ever relate to other people.

Yet now the Bristol boy is a thoughtful, joyful nine-year-old who attends a mainstream school.

Has he grown out of his condition? New research by a prestigious American university claims that not only is this possible, it’s also common.

Quote:
But Renitha is adamant that Josh will always be autistic. He is in a mainstream school but he needs support to comprehend his lessons, she says: ‘Children don’t grow out of being autistic, but some can learn to live with it.

‘The danger is that if parents think their children will grow out of it, they might not put in the effort required to make a difference.’

A danger the Mail's headline doesn't bother trying to respect.

Suprised they've not made more of the tenuous BBC connection.

Any chance of explaining to the Mails health correspondent what the words developmental disorder mean?

Really this is headline vs headline (as well as story)
Number of people getting married jumps by 4% after years of steady decline... but it's still lowest rate since 1862
Now, unless I'm missing something, that statement is self-contradictory and cannot be true.
Quote:
It is the sharpest rise since the 5.7 per cent increase recorded between 2002 and 2003 - although marriage rates are languishing at far lower levels than they did in previous eras.

Quote:
There were 241,100 weddings in 2010 - 3.7 per cent more than in 2009.

So, in fact, the number of people getting married in 2010 was the lowest since 2009. There is no mention of 1862 in the article.

Has now been changed to:

but it's still nearly lowest rate since 1862

The second graph is titled General Marriage Rate, but there's no explanation of what this means, and the y-axis is not labelled, so it might as well be a picture of a unicyclist eating a pork pie. Another key stage 3 failure.

I can see no reason why the Immigration and Asylum act is mentioned at all in that graph - it doesn't signify any change in the marriage/divorce rates.

The Divorce Reform Act is labelled 1969 but its line is placed somewhere in the early 1970s.

I think that graph gets an F.
