The Pentagon keeps spending. These 4 defense stocks keep raising their dividends
Lockheed Martin's record $230B backlog and 3.2-to-1 book-to-bill anchor its $13.80 annual dividend, covered by $7B+ in guided free cash flow.

A Golden Mark By Patrick Omorodion
The words of our elders, they say, are words of wisdom. And anyone who hearkens to it is expected to make hay in whatever profitable venture he or she is involved in. I cant but always remember the sayings of one of the greatest, if not the greatest commentator ever to come out of Nigeria, late Ernest Okonkwo. He was a delight to listen to anytime he was behind the microphone, especially when running commentaries during football matches involving the Super Eagles.
Impact of racial disparities in follow-up and quality of colonoscopy on colorectal cancer outcomes

This editorial refers to ‘B-type natriuretic peptide levels predict long-term mortality in a large cohort of adults with congenital heart disease’, by Y. Yumita et al., https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehae254.

Determination of Clinically Acceptable Analytical Variation of Cardiac Troponin at Decision Thresholds
Clinical decision-making for risk stratification for possible myocardial infarction (MI) uses high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) thresholds that range from the limit of detection to several-fold higher than the upper reference limit (URL). To establish a minimum analytical variation standard, we can quantify the effect of variation on the population clinical measures of safety (sensitivity) and effectiveness [proportion below threshold, or positive predictive value (PPV)].

Reallocating Cervical Cancer Preventive Service Spending from Low to High-Value Clinical Scenarios
Timely follow-up care after an abnormal cervical cancer screening test result is critical to the prevention and early diagnosis of cervical cancer. The current inadequate and inequitable delivery of these potentially life-saving services is attributed to several factors, including patient out-of-pocket costs. Waiving of consumer cost-sharing for follow-up testing (e.g., colposcopy and related cervical services) is likely to improve access and uptake, especially among underserved populations.

Implementing Transparency About Content Moderation
On February 2nd, Santa Clara University is hosting a gathering of tech platform companies to discuss how they actually handle content moderation questions. Many of the participants have written short essays about the questions that will be discussed at this event -- and over the next few weeks we'll be publishing many of those essays, including this one.
Virginia Politicians Looks To Tax Speech In The Form Of Porn In The Name Of Stemming Human Trafficking
Every once in a while, you'll come across stories about one government or another looking to censor or discourage pornography online, typically through outright censorship or some sort of taxation. While most of these stories come from countries that have religious reasoning behind censorship of speech, more secular countries in Europe have also entertained the idea of a tax or license for viewing naughty things online.
Bar Complaint Filed Against Lawyers Who Participated In Bogus Lawsuits Targeting Fake Defendants
The reputation management tactic of filing bogus defamation lawsuits may be slowly coming to an end, but there will be a whole lot of reputational damage to be spread among those involved by the time all is said and done.

The lawsuits featured fake plaintiffs, fake defendants, and fake admissions of guilt from the fake defendants.
Theresa May Again Demands Tech Companies Do More To Right The World's Social Media Wrongs
In the face of "extremist" content and other internet nasties, British PM Theresa May keeps doing something. That something is telling social media companies to do something. Move fast and break speech. Nerd harder. Do whatever isn't working well already, but with more people and processing power. May has been shifting her anti-speech, anti-social media tirades towards the Orwellian in recent months.
James Woods Saved By A Question Mark, But Still A Total Hypocrite
Karma works in funny ways sometimes. Over the past few years, we covered how actor James Woods filed a totally ridiculous defamation lawsuit against an anonymous internet troll who made some hyperbolic statements about Woods -- statements that were little different than what Woods had said about others. The case never went anywhere... because the defendant died. But Woods gloated over the guy's death, which just confirmed what a horrible, horrible person Woods appears to be.
Apple, Verizon Continue to Lobby Against The Right To Repair Your Own Devices
A few years back, frustration at John Deere's draconian tractor DRM resulted in a grassroots tech movement. John Deere's decision to implement a lockdown on "unauthorized repairs" turned countless ordinary citizens into technology policy activists, after DRM and the company's EULA prohibited the lion-share of repair or modification of tractors customers thought they owned.
Atari Gets The Settlement It Was Surely Fishing For Over An Homage To 'Breakout' In KitKat Commercial
As readers of this site will know, once-venerated gaming giant Atari long ago reduced itself to an intellectual property troll mostly seeking to siphon money away from companies that actually produce things. The fall of one of gamings historical players is both disappointing and sad, given just how much love and nostalgia there is for its classic games.
Portland Surrenders To Old Town Brewing Over Stag Sign Trademark
For some time, we've been following an odd trademark dispute between the city of Portland and a small brewery, Old Town Brewing, all over a famous city sign featuring a leaping stag. Old Town has a trademark for the image of the sign and uses that imagery for its business and beer labels. Portland, strangely, has pursued a trademark for the very same market and has attempted to invalidate Old Town's mark for the purpose of licensing the image to macro-breweries to fill the municipal coffers.
China Exporting Its Surveillance Tech And Philosophy To Other Countries, Helped By Equipment Donations
It will probably come as zero surprise to Techdirt readers to learn the following: China's state surveillance apparatus is trying out a new tool in one of its favorite test beds, the restive region of Xinjiang. The Muslim-dominated villages on China's western frontier are testing facial-recognition systems that alert authorities when targeted people venture more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) beyond designated "safe areas," according to a person familiar with the project.
Court Dismisses -- For A Second Time -- Lawsuit Seeking To Hold Facebook Responsible For Acts Of Terrorism
Back in May of last year, a New York federal court tossed two lawsuits from plaintiffs attempting to hold social media companies responsible for terrorist attacks. Cohen v. Facebook and Force v. Facebook were both booted for failing to state a claim, pointing out the obvious: the fact that terrorists use social media to recruit and communicate does not somehow turn social media platforms into material support for terrorism.
Danish Police Charge Over 1,000 People With Sharing Underage Couple's Sexting Video And Images
Techdirt posts about sexting have a depressingly similar story line: young people send explicit photos of themselves to their partners, and one or both of them end up charged with distributing or possessing child pornography. Even more ridiculously, the authorities typically justify branding young people who do this as sex offenders on the grounds that it "protects" the same individuals whose lives they are ruining.
