The opening round of the Guinness Six Nations had many surprises, starting in Paris on Friday night.
Perhaps the biggest surprise was that the French were back to their free-flowing best in miserable conditions but showed the lack of gumption to put the Welsh away.
Sébastien Vahaamahina literally threw the game away with a looping missed pass which landed in the bread basket of George North to get the colossal Welsh winger off to a good start in a tournament that now looks like Wales have a fair chance of winning.
Why France couldn't shut the game down in such poor conditions is beyond me. It was harder to play the loose style of rugby than it was to shut up shop and take a victory in the opening round when nobody had given them a chance.
It was the biggest half-time comeback ever in a Five or Six Nations match.
On Saturday, Scotland made light work of a travelling Italian side but still showed a careless vulnerability to leave Italy in for three late tries. It was not a good 20 minutes of rugby to lead them into a Test match against a wounded Irish side.
I'm sure the Scots will put it down to them being too comfortable. Still, it adds a talking point to their week and something that will be needlessly on the coaches minds instead of taking their momentum into an important week of preparation against the world's second-ranked team.
I've dissected the Irish game more times over the weekend than many games I've actually coached.
Most people were asking what happened because it's hard to understand how Ireland could turn up like that after the wave that they'd been riding but I think the media have looked very hard at what Ireland did wrong and not enough at what England brought.
England had to bring something different to inflict Joe Schmidt's first loss at home in a Six Nations match. Both Mako Vunipola and Mark Wilson made 27 tackles. No other England player had reached that number in the Six Nations before.
The referee's microphone was particularly loud at the weekend but it allowed a great insight into the mindset of the English players. We're used to players celebrating maul turnovers, scrum penalties and obviously tries but I've never heard the level of celebration after each tackle that was made.
It also shows how comfortable England were in their defensive line and how much energy they had left in the tank, which was probably down to how tactically superior they were on the night. England came out of the blocks and forced a bad read from Keith Earls to go ahead within the first 90 seconds thanks to a Jonny May try.
That often happens when a match is talked up as much as this one and teams almost psych themselves out of good decisions but on this occasion it wasn't down to Ireland being too up for the game. It happened because Eddie Jones' men didn't give them a second to breathe and piled the pressure on until they made a poor decision.
The English kicking game showed up Ireland's defensive system as much as Robbie Henshaw's apparent lack of fitness in the full-back position but Henshaw wasn't at fault for that Elliot Daly try, contrary to what the TV pundits were pointing out.
England were moving from right to left and Henshaw was covering last man on his right hand side. Ireland play a very high line in the 22 with both wingers only a step off the rest of the defensive line so they have a head start when covering the kick in behind.
That leaves a very isolated full-back to cover a lot of the back pitch on his own. England reversed the direction of their play which meant Henshaw wasn't able to cover last man on his left-hand side because he was too far away.
Stockdale closed on the edge of that defence too hard which meant he was under pressure when turning to gather the kick and got caught by an awkward bounce.
Conor Murray was buying Peter O'Mahony a small bit of time after Ireland's defence had been turned in by England's link play between the forwards and backs but he looked comfortable enough to hit Jack Nowell, who was England's last man.
In my opinion, Stockdale jumped the gun but was still unlucky to fumble the ball to let Daly in for an easy score. On another day he catches that and puts it down so Ireland can exit with a 22 dropout, no talking points and no drama.
I'm sure they won't be changing their defensive system on that try alone but England did exploit their back-field defence a number of times. England's kicking game pinned Ireland back in the areas of the pitch that they didn't want to be in.
It's hard to get out of there but normally Ireland do it very well.
England escorted Ireland's kick chasers so well that they couldn't get the likes of Earls on the end of Conor Murrays box-kicks and the cycle repeated itself until England attacked with the weight of the Vunipolas and Manu Tuilagi to gain momentum across the gainline which created fast ball and a slightly less organised Irish defence than we are used to.
When the ball is that quick you won't see the likes of O'Mahony and Van der Flier get too many chances at poach opportunities. England actually had twice the amount of missed tackles that Ireland had. It shows that you don't have to miss tackles to concede tries.
If a team wins the gainline repeatedly they can walk you backwards until you are playing the game in your own 22. Ireland had more metres gained but a lot of these metres seemed to be in their own half or far away from a threatening area of the pitch.
The English players had the traits of their head coach written all over them: boisterous, vocal and at times lacking discipline but they had a sense of ruthlessness about them that was almost tangible.
They were focused on the job at hand and upset Ireland repeatedly. It didn't stop there.
They moved on to the next job again and again until they choked the life out of their opposition. You have to give them the credit they deserve.
Maybe it is the best thing to happen Ireland with the World Cup looming. Personally, I would still prefer for Ireland to win all around them and put fear into the opposition heading into a World Cup, but that privilege is now gone.
In saying that, it's better to lose now than to come up short in the biggest tournament of all. It's back to the drawing board for Joe Schmidt and his team as they travel to a bogey ground this weekend.
Expect a big performance in Murrayfield.
Irish fans will be looking to Wales in two weeks in the hope that they'll do us a favour at home to England which could allow Ireland back in the running for the championship because I don't think France have what it takes to upset England in Twickenham.
Henry Slade's bonus-point try could be the difference yet.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has yet to schedule a confirmation vote on the four district court nominees who cleared the Judiciary Committee without opposition nearly two weeks ago: Jill Parrish for the District of Utah, and Alfred Bennett, George Hanks, and Jose Rolando Olvera for the Southern District of Texas.
Texas in particular is in desperate need of more federal judges. The Lone Star State has a shocking 11 judicial seats currently vacant (with a twelfth one opening this spring). In fact, the eleventh vacancy opened just today. This opening came as no surprise: Judge Richard Schell of the Eastern District announced back in January of 2014 that he would be taking senior status. Texas Sens. Cornyn and Cruz could have recommended an acceptable nominee to the White House in time for that person to have been fully vetted, nominated, and confirmed last year. Unfortunately, that did not happen; no nomination has been made yet.
Of those eleven vacancies, seven have been designated judicial emergencies. That's nearly one third of all the judicial emergencies nationwide. Confirming the three Texas nominees who have been waiting for Senator McConnell to schedule a floor vote would help alleviate this problem.
All three would serve in the Southern District of Texas, which will still have an additional two vacancies remaining even after these nominees are confirmed. McConnell's delay is adding unnecessarily to the strain on the area's federal court system.
Just how bad is that strain? The Judicial Conference of the United States has asked Congress to create an additional two judgeships in the Southern District of Texas. In other words, even if all three pending nominees were confirmed today, and the other two vacancies were magically filled tomorrow (even though they don't have nominees), the crushing caseload burden on the Southern District is so bad that at least another two judges would be needed to ensure that the people of Texas have access to a fair and efficient federal court system.
A confirmation vote on the Texas (and Utah) nominees is long overdue.

Brittany Higgins statement: Ex-Liberal staffer seeks $1million compensation over rape trial
Jacky Follow on Twitter Send an email December 3, 2022
Brittany Higgins could receive up to $1 million in damages as the former Liberal staffer broke her silence days after the sexual assault case in which she was a prosecutor was sensationally dropped.
Ms Higgins took to Instagram on Sunday to repeat the same statement she made outside a Canberra court in October after a juror triggered a mistrial.
Former political staffer Ms Higgins had alleged that Bruce Lehrmann, a colleague at the time, raped her inside the parliamentary office of Minister Linda Reynolds in March 2019 – an allegation he has consistently denied.
After the first trial failed due to jury misconduct, a second was scheduled for next year – but the charges were dropped on Friday after warnings it could come at the cost of Ms Higgins' mental health.
Ms Higgins was in hospital on Friday when prosecutors confirmed the second trial would not take place.
Ms Higgins thanked the court and its officers on Sunday for "treating me with such respect while I was there."
Brittany Higgins (pictured left in October) could face up to $1 million in damages as the man initially charged with her alleged rape also seeks a significant payout
"I have chosen to speak out," Ms. Higgins wrote.
"To speak up and share my experience with others."
Ms Higgins said her life had been 'publicly scrutinized, open for the world to see', saying she knew 'the odds were stacked against me from the start'.
"Most importantly, I want to thank our mental health workers, without whom I literally wouldn't be here today," she wrote.
Ms Higgins also thanked the DPP – the team pursuing the case, her lawyers, family and her partner David Sharaz.
Ms. Higgins' statement comes as her lawyers quietly seek compensation for the lawsuit.
Sources who have seen the legal document claim Ms. Higgins will seek compensation for lost income, future income and home support.
Mr Lehrmann (pictured in Canberra in October) is also seeking monetary compensation, with his lawyers considering a Comcare claim, defamation actions against media outlets and unfair dismissal from the jobs he lost after rape allegations came to light
The three respondents named for the claim are Sen. Linda Reynolds, who was Mrs. Higgins' boss when the alleged rape took place, Liberal frontbencher Michaelia Cash and Commonwealth, news.com.au reported.
Ms Higgins' lawyer, Leon Zwier, who represented the 28-year-old during her criminal case in Canberra, is aware of the claim.
Personal injury lawyer Noor Blumer of Blumers Advocaten has been negotiating the compensation since February.
No official claim has been made as the parties prepare for mediation talks.
Ms Higgins has not worked full-time since making her account of the alleged Parliament House incident public in February 2021.
Mr Lehrmann is also seeking monetary compensation, with his lawyers considering a Comcare claim, defamation actions against media outlets and unfair dismissal from the jobs he lost after the rape allegations emerged.
Ms Higgins (pictured) has not worked full-time since she released her account of the alleged incident at Parliament House in February 2021.
Mr Lehrmann (pictured) should have had a new trial in February, after the first trial was abandoned in October after
On Friday, ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold SC had announced that the case would no longer be prosecuted.
Mr Lehrmann should have faced a new trial in February after the first trial was halted in October due to misconduct by a juror.
It has now emerged that police believed there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Mr Lehrmann after he was charged with assault by Ms Higgins, according to senior police officer diary entries on the case.
ACT Police Manager of Criminal Investigations Detective Superintendent Scott Moller claimed in his notes that Mr Drumgold had nevertheless decided to proceed with the case.
He recorded a conversation in which Superintendent Moller and his boss, ACT Deputy Chief of Police Michael Chew, warned Mr. Drumgold to move on.
ACT Police Manager of Criminal Investigations Detective Superintendent Scott Moller (pictured) claimed in his notes that ACT Director of Public Prosecutions Shane Drumgold SC had decided to proceed with the case anyway
Mr Drumgold announced on Friday that the case against Mr Lehrmann would be dropped in the interests of Ms Higgins and her mental health
Superintendent Moller claimed there was 'insufficient evidence', while Mr Chew said he would not pursue the case if it were up to him, The Australian reported.
DCPO stated "if it was my choice, I wouldn't continue. But it's not my choice. There is too much political interference," wrote Chief Detective Moller.
"I said, 'That's disappointing given that I don't think there's enough evidence'."
It has also been revealed that in September 2021, police unlawfully gave Ms Higgins' protected evidence on a USB stick to Mr Lehrmann's original lawyers – with the team insisting they did not open the material.
Psychological counseling notes and a video of the police interview with Ms Higgins were among the protected evidence illegally sent to Mr Lehrmann's legal team.
The lawyers who received the information were later replaced by lawyer Steve Whybrow – who did not receive the documents.
Mr Lehrmann was accused of raping Mrs Higgins (pictured in March 2019 in the House of Parliament of Minister Linda Reynolds – an allegation he has consistently denied.
The release of the sensitive material led Mr Drumgold to label it a 'serious' problem and demanded that the police retrieve it.
He asked Inspector Moller to ensure that the USB was investigated to verify claims made by Mr Lehrmann's lawyers at the time that they did not have access to the information.
He notes that he is still in possession of highly sensitive and protected information. Is he going to return the memory stick to the AFP?' said Mr Drumgold.
"It seems the least the AFP can do is send someone to collect it. And my suggestion is that if and when you get it back, have the metadata examined to make sure sensitive documents haven't been opened or copied."

Bruce Lehrmann was spotted talking on the phone at Sydney Airport in his first public appearance since his assault charge was dropped on Friday.
He wore a black face mask, a Ralph Lauren vest, dark pants and brown boots as he wheeled his luggage through the airport on Friday.
He was seen without his usual glasses while talking on the phone while carrying a brown bag and black briefcase.

Oral cancers include cancer of the mouth, throat (oropharyngeal), and lips. Oral cancer screenings can detect suspicious lesions in their early stages, when treatment is most effective. Though high-risk patients include tobacco users and heavy drinkers, the potentially fatal disease can affect anyone at any time. People who come in contact with human papilloma virus (HPV), version 16, are also at high risk, and scientists believe that genetic predisposition may influence the development of oral cancer, as well. Over 45,000 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year alone; that's 115 cases each day. The global numbers are astronomical, at 450,000 cases annually. Our family dentistry practice offers a number of services to patients, including oral cancer screenings. Contact our Boston practice to schedule your oral screening appointment.
Early detection and treatment of oral cancer is key to a successful outcome, so regular dental visits are extremely important. We lose one life to oral cancer each day, so this is a serious disease. Because late-stage detection is common, the five-year fatality rate is over 40 percent. However, the experienced dentists at Boston Prosthodontic are always on the lookout for early signs of potentially harmful lesions in the mouth that could indicate oral cancer. And here's good news: when found and treated early, patients with oral cancer have an 80 to 90% survival rate.
We take time to look for signs of oral cancer at each dental visit, but you can watch for symptoms during your daily oral homecare routine. If you notice a sore on your lips, neck, or in your mouth, and it does not heal in 14 days, you should visit us for a screening. Oftentimes, oral cancer lesions bleed easily, as well. Throat cancer can feel like something is caught in the throat, making swallowing difficult or painful. A hoarse voice, constant ear pain, numbness of the tongue or interior of the mouth, and pain or difficulty when moving the jaw or tongue may also indicate oral cancer. Should you experience any of these symptoms, book your appointment with Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group immediately, and be sure to tell us about your symptoms when making your appointment.
If an exam reveals suspicious lesions that could be cancerous, you will need a biopsy, which can be done in the office or by an oral surgeon, depending upon the location of the lesion(s). A lab will test the tissue sample to determine if the lesion is a tumor. The lab will then determine if your tumor is benign (presently safe) or malignant (dangerous). From this information, the doctor will discuss treatment with you.
In some cases, removal of benign tumors is suggested. Benign tumors may become malignant with time. However, other situations allow for benign tumors to remain intact, because they pose no significant risk to the patient's health. If a benign tumor interferes with comfortable oral function and swallowing, you may want to have it removed.
For malignant tumors, surgical removal is a common treatment. A staging surgery could be recommended to help doctors determine the extent of the cancer. Small, isolated tumors may be completely extracted. Larger tumors may require partial removal, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. If removal of oral tumors results in deformation, reconstructive surgery may be a good option to restore proper function and a natural appearance.
If you use tobacco, stop. If you consume alcohol more than a few times per week, cut back. Also, parents should consider the HPV vaccine for their adolescent and teen children. Speak to your pediatrician or family physician about HPV vaccines.
Today, we have advanced detection, diagnosis, and treatment techniques to save lives touched by this potentially fatal disease. Call Boston Prosthodontic Dental Center today to schedule your visit, and rest assured that we will screen you for oral cancer.

The new MG6 completes the declaration and will be on sale soon in Chinese market
MG 6 is a compact car under the SAIC MG, which focuses on youth and sportiness. It only takes 6.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h, and its power performance is very powerful.
Recently, we obtained a set of real photos of the new MG 6 on the Internet channel. Compared with the current model, the appearance of the new car has changed a lot, and the sports style is more distinctive. At the same time, it will be powered by a new 1.5T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 133kW, which is also a lot more improved than the current model.
Specifically, the new MG 6 is replaced with a regular hexagonal air intake grille, the air intake grille has also become a blackened hollow air intake grille from the previous "Starry Sky", which is more simple and elegant. The headlights also use a new shape, which is slender and sharp, and the overall sports style is more distinctive.
In the rear part of the car, the new MG 6 added bilateral single-outlet elliptical exhaust holes and a center brake light, further highlighting the vehicle's outstanding sports attributes. The LED light strips in the tail light part have also been increased from the previous two to three, and the width lights have been changed from vertical to horizontal, and the tail is more coordinated and attractive.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4704/1848 / 1466mm, and the length and height of the car are increased. The wheelbase is the same as the current model, both 2715mm.
In terms of power, it is regarded as a highlight for the new car. MG 6 uses a new 1.5T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 133kW, and the peak torque is expected to be higher than the current 250N · m. Such dynamic performance parameters have also exceeded Honda Civic.
The transmission is expected to continue to match the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. However, with the improvement of the new car's power performance, fuel consumption has also increased from the previous 5.9L to 6.2L (per 100km).

Robert McCrum on booksBooker prize
The Booker prize is just another flea circus for writers
Robert McCrum
Hanif Kureishi and PG Wodehouse have both compared writers to performing fleas. And with good reason, says Robert McCrum

Sat 16 Oct 2010 19.05 EDT
These days, writes Hanif Kureishi in the introduction to his Collected Essays, "you can't put a cigarette paper between a writer and a performing flea. Writing has become a part of light entertainment, a form of cabaret". Kureishi's words came back to me as I watched the procession of shortlisted writers in shiny shoes and black tie make their way to the podium to collect hand-tooled editions of their work from Man Booker's representative at the Guildhall last Tuesday.
PG Wodehouse, one of whose memoirs was entitled Performing Flea, a defiant and ironic appropriation of a wartime slur by Irish writer Séan O'Casey, would probably have shaken his head in dismay at such a spectacle. Fancy dinners and gushing prize speeches were never his thing. He shared, with Kureishi and many others, a preference for artistic privacy and a loathing of the limelight.
And yet – this is the problem – writers are entertainers with audiences, however small. Intrinsic to their vocation is an inevitable rendezvous with non-literary expectations. Wodehouse, famously, discovered this in Berlin in 1941: he made his ill-judged broadcasts in part to reassure his American fans that he was alive and well. The result: almost universal obloquy from which, in some ways, he never quite recovered.
But his instincts were not wrong. Dark or light, flippant or serious, the writer's job is to engage with his or her readers in whatever way works for them. You cannot, as a writer, entirely shun the marketplace or your readers. If you're a novelist in 2010, there's no avoiding Kureishi's "cabaret": the rickety podium or the draughty festival tent. On publication, the writer who is, at home, the zombie in the unravelling sweater becomes the flesh-pressing campaigner, behaving like a performing flea inside a bubble of publicity.
There are, ultimately, only two ways to promote a book – the sweet or the sour. Either you submit to the logic of the marketplace, join the flea circus and dance in the spotlight, as Howard Jacobson did with such aplomb last week. Or you can develop a grumpy, reclusive persona, like Cormac McCarthy, the lone writer of Santa Fe, never talk to the press, live like a man in a cave and not give a damn. Most authors, unsurprisingly, opt for the sweet rather than the sour. Writers who may have spent years on their novel in solitude are actually relieved to shuffle into the limelight for public scrutiny, even applause.
If you're cunning, you can mix the sweet and the sour. Graham Greene, who famously nurtured a "splinter of ice" in his heart, was a master of audience manipulation. By temperament, never a performing flea, he somehow contrived to get the best of both worlds, public and secret. To his English readers, he cultivated the image of the solitary artist who never appeared on television and rarely spoke to the press, cherishing his seclusion in Antibes, occasionally punctuated by withering broadsides to the letters pages of the Times.
Actually, Greene was quite convivial, on his own terms. He often gave interviews to European TV crews and even appeared, pseudonymously, in a walk-on cameo role for Truffaut's Day for Night. He also allowed BBC arts programme Arena to interview him, off-camera, for a 90-minute profile. The fierce, isolated self-protection that sustained his creative powers in his prime softened in old age. Later in life, he even consented to be interviewed on stage at the South Bank in front of an audience, though that was atypical.
For Greene as a novelist, life and work could be kept apart. For a poet such as Ted Hughes, there could be no separation. His life with Sylvia Plath also became part of his self-expression as a poet. After her suicide, and now pursued by the Furies of American feminist literary criticism, Hughes solved the performing flea question by shunning the circus. Instead, he went fishing.
Rod and line is certainly one answer to Kureishi's anxieties. Next year, perhaps, the Booker prize shortlist writers should be handed waders, anoraks and boxes of bait. A season on the riverbank might be just what English literature needs.
Jubilation as prize finally goes Howard's way
The bookmakers were not the only ones cheering when outsider Howard Jacobson (18/1) came from behind to take the Booker prize with his bittersweet novel The Finkler Question (Bloomsbury). Actually, I cannot remember such a popular win. The roar of approval that greeted the announcement was followed by a standing ovation in parts of the Guildhall. Tom McCarthy and Emma Donoghue, heavily backed to win with their novels C and Room, were left to reflect on the iron law of this influential prize: the favourite never wins. Jacobson's triumph is all the more piquant because he has been a vigorous and contentious critic of Booker's tendency to select "the same dreary books year after year".
Shelf preservation nets bookseller first prize
It's just a year since indy bookseller Lutyens & Rubinstein, the brainchild of two literary agents, opened its doors. At first, the new shop displayed a worrying disdain towards lyric poetry, but that was swiftly rectified and last month it won first place in the books, news and music category of London's Great Little Shops award, a category judged by Observer columnist Mariella Frostrup. She said: "An elegant display, very well-informed staff and an eclectic selection make Lutyens & Rubinstein an instant classic." The prize was awarded against competition from a shortlist that included metropolitan stalwarts John Sandoe, Daunt Books and the London Review Bookshop. Congratulations to the new girls on the block.

No, Press Freedoms Have Not Improved in Central Asia
Crossroads Asia | Society | Central Asia
Methodology isn't a headline buzzword, but an improving rank certainly is — no matter the context.
By Catherine Putz for The Diplomat
Credit: Depositphotos
On the surface, every single Central Asian state climbed in Reporters Without Borders' just-released annual World Press Freedom ranking. Kazakhstan leapt from 155 out of 180 countries to 122, Kyrgyzstan rose from 79 to 72, Tajikistan from 162 to 152, and Uzbekistan surged from 157 to 133. Even Turkmenistan moved up, from 178 to 177.
When you look past the ranks, however, a different picture emerges. Every country in Central Asia (with the exception, paradoxically, of Turkmenistan) saw its actual score decline even as its ranking rose. This enables governments to herald an improving rank as a sign of progress, regardless of the underlying decline or the stagnation of press freedoms in the region.
On Twitter, Polish journalist Agnieszka Pikulicka-Wilczewska remarked: "Last year was pretty nightmarish for journos in #Uzbekistan and yet in your ranking, it has jumped from 157th position to 133rd."
Pikulicka-Wilczewska (who has written often for The Diplomat) is writing from experience: In November 2021, after living in Tashkent for three years, she was denied re-entry into Uzbekistan at a border crossing with Kazakhstan. Earlier in the year, Uzbek authorities had denied her request to renew her accreditation after a six-month limbo in which Pikulicka-Wilczewska said she was subjected to sexual harassment by a Ministry for Foreign Affairs employee. After she went public with her complaints, Pikulicka-Wilczewska's accreditation was extended and the ministry apologized, but it was a temporary reprieve.
In March 2021, Miraziz Bazarov, an Uzbek blogger who championed LGBT rights, was savagely beaten. His attackers were never identified, but Bazarov remains under house arrest and is facing charges over allegations of libel. In reporting on Bazarov's case, and discussing her own troubles with the authorities, Pikulicka-Wilczewska became the target of an online harassment campaign. Her accreditation was ultimately revoked and she was, as noted above, banned from returning to Uzbekistan.
None of this was mentioned in the brief RSF country overview for Uzbekistan.
Although every Central Asian state rose in the rankings, their individual scores all declined (with the exception of Turkmenistan). For example, although Uzbekistan's rank rose 24 places, its score declined from 49.26 in 2021 to 45.74 in 2022. Tajikistan's rank rose 10 spots, but its score declined from 44.48 to 40.26. (According to the ranking's methodology a score of 100 reflects "good" press freedom and 0 entails a "very serious" situation.)
There are a few issues at play that deserve explanation, most importantly a change in methodology.
The ranking changes are particularly difficult to assess because for the 2022 report Reporters Without Borders (RSF) used a new methodology. "In order to reflect press freedom's complexity, five new indicators are now used to compile the Index: the political context, legal framework, economic context, sociocultural context, and security," RSF noted. Each indicator was assessed by RSF using a combination of a quantitative survey of violations and a qualitative study based on responses form journalists, academics, and activists to a 123-question survey. The score for each indicator is then averaged to produce a single score and the rankings are built from that score.
The switch to a new methodology complicates comparing the 2022 ranking to 2021, something RSF notes in its overview, but which has not made it into regional media coverage of the index.
An additional issue is one of display and a lack of context: On each country page for RSF index, the 2021 ranking is listed beside the 2022 ranking, with a small green or red arrow indicating a direction. The actual scores are printed in smaller text and displayed below the rankings. On account of the methodology shift, there is no comparing the indicator scores from the 2022 index to previous years. The individual country pages, called "fact-files," also do not mention the change methodology and offer only the briefest of explanations for each indicator.
Methodology is not a headline buzzword, but a better score on an international ranking is. It's easy for officials to gloss over the details and hold up an improved ranking as a sign of progress, even when the underlying score has declined and the circumstances have not really changed.
On Telegram, Uzbek presidential spokesman Sherzod Asadov swiftly congratulated the Uzbek media on the rising rank, citing it as a result of the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on ensuring the freedom of speech in the country.
A little over a year ago, Mirziyoyev signed into law a bill that criminalized "insult and slander" of the president online. That's not a sign of an improving press environment, but the new law didn't merit a mention in the Uzbekistan country page.

On Oct. 4, 2012, the CDC and FDA hosted a briefing to discuss the multi-state investigation of meningitis among patients who have received epidural steroid injections. According to Benjamin Park, MD, medical officer, Mycotic Diseases Branch, Division of Foodborne, Waterborne, and Environmental Diseases, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases at the CDC, there have been 35 cases in six states: Tennessee (25), North Carolina 1), Florida (2), Virginia (4), Maryland (2) and Indiana (1). There have been five deaths: three in Tennessee, one in Virginia, and one in Maryland.
As Park explains, "On Sept. 21, 2012, the CDC was notified by the Tennessee Department of Health of a patient with the onsite of meningitis approximately 19 days following epidural steroid injection at a Tenneessee ambulatory surgery center. All initial cultures of cerebral-spinal fluid and blood were negative for any potential infection. Subsequently, the patient had a fungus isolated from the cerebral-spinal fluid by fungal culture. On Sept. 28, 2012, investigators identified a case outside of Tennessee, possibly indicating contamination of a widely distributed medication. To date, a total of 35 cases in six states have been identified with a clinical picture consistent with fungal infection. Tragically, at least five deaths have been reported. Fungus has been identified in specimens that came from a total of five patients thus far. While investigation into the exact source of these infections is ongoing, all infected patients received preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate from among the three lots voluntarily recalled by the New England Compounding Center (NECC) in Framingham, Mass. on Sept. 25, 2012. "
According to Parks, 23 states have received medication from NECC among the three recalled lots: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas and West Virginia.
At the briefing, Ilisa Bernstein, PharmD, JD, director of the Office of Compliance, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research at the FDA, confirmed that the product that has been most closely associated witht his outbreak of meningitis is preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate, 80 mg per mL, an injectible steroid compounded and distributed by NECC.
"FDA has detected fungal contamination by direct microscopic examination of particulate matter taken from a sealed vial of methylprednisolone acetate injection collected from NECC," says Bernstein. "The FDA is in he process of further identifying the fungal contaminant. Foreign material also has been observed in other vials produced by the company that were colelcted by the FDA during an inspection. Aditional microbial testing is underway. Last week, three lots were recalled. As of yesterday, NECC has voluntarily shut down all operations and is expenading its recall to include all methylprednisolone acetate prepared by NECC."
Parks provided additional information about symptoms that patients may be experiencing: "Infected patients have presented approximately one to four weeks following their injection with a variety of symptoms, including fever, new or worsening headache, nausea, and/or symptoms consistent with a stroke," Park says. "Some of these patients' symptoms were very mild in nature. Cerebral-spinal fluid obtained from these patients has shown findings consistent with meningitis. It is important to note that this type of meningitis is not transmissible from person to person. The CDC and the FDA are working closely with state health departments on this challenging investigation. Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC and the FDA recommend that all healthcare personnel cease use and remove from their pharmacy inventory any product produced by the NECC. The CDC also recommends that clinicians contact all patients who received injections using products from any of the three recalled lots to determine if they are having symptoms. Patients may be experiencing mild symptoms, not typical of meningitis, such as new or worsening headache without fever or neck stiffness. If patients are having new or worsening symptoms, even mild symptoms, they should be evaluated immediately. While the CDC is only aware of infections occurring in patients who have received epidural steroid injections, patients who received other types of injections with methylprednisolone acetate from those three lots should also be contacted to assess for signs of infection such as swelling, increasing pain, redness and warmth at the injection site, and should be encouraged to seek evaluation if such symptoms exist."
Park adds, "This is an ongoing investigation; unfortunately, we expect to see additional cases as this investigation unfolds. However, it is possible that if patients are identified soon, and started on appropriate anti-fungal therapy, some of the unfortunate consequences may be averted."
Adds Bernstein, "At this time, NECC has voluntarily ceased distribution of all of their products. While these are significant steps toward containing a potentially contaminated drug product, FDA is taking the additional step of advising all healthcare personnel not to use any product that originated from NECC until the investigation into the source of the outbreak is complete and further information is provided. We are urging clinicians to check their drug supply and purchase records to determine if they have purchased products from NECC; immediately discontinue use, and isolate those products from their supply. Investigation is ongoing, but given the severity of the illness we have seen so far, webelieve these precautionary measures are warranted to protect public health."
