Some stuff you might not have seen from around the web.

• Elsevier publishes fake journals. Henry Farrell has some suggestions for what to do about it.
• Alva Noe has an article about drugs in sport, focussing on why it is that we worry about some enhancements but not others. I think Alva is a little too dismissive of the health concerns; I wouldn’t care about steroids at all if they weren’t dangerous. More realistically, I wouldn’t care if a player with cancer took steroids as part of a standard cancer treatment. But it is interesting to think about where we draw the moral lines, and about what that says about what we value in sporting performance. And the terminology here is bizarre – if we cared about all ‘performance enhancing drugs’, presumably we’d want to get rid of the Gatorade in the dugout.
• Jacob Ross has a fascinating paper on Sleeping Beauty and Countable Additivity (PDF).
• This list of cities with the highest quality of life is interesting, but I think they’re not rating things I care about if Perth comes well ahead of New York.
