He's the leader of the Free World and seemingly fearless in the face of peril. Yet much like millions of other men around the world, there is one thing President Barack Obama admits terrifies him: his wife's wrath.
But fortunately for the Commander-in-Chief, it appears First Lady Michelle Obama uses her power for good.
On Monday, a live microphone caught the President telling an attendee at the UN General Assembly meeting that he quit smoking because "I'm scared of my wife," New York's Daily News reports.
Obama apparently did not realize his microphone was on while chatting with Maina Kiai, the Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association.
The President also told Kiai that he hasn't "had a cigarette in probably six years," although that comment appears to be at odds with what he and others have told the press in the past.
The First Lady has addressed his addiction multiple times over the years. When PEOPLE asked in 2009 whether he finally kicked cigarettes, she somewhat cryptically replied, "Smoking is a difficult thing. My thumbs are up right now."
Two years later, FLOTUS more definitively told reporters that her husband had kicked the habit a year earlier and "he's always wanted to stop."
Smoking has been a long struggle for the Chief Executive, who spoke candidly about his struggle to quit in 2008 in the midst of running for office – and has been known to chew Nicorette gum.
"There have been a couple of times during the campaign when I fell off the wagon and bummed one, and I had to kick it again," Obama told Men's Health. "But I figure, seeing as I'm running for President, I need to cut myself a little slack."
President Obama Lets Slip: I Quit Smoking Because 'I'm Scared of My Wife'

Vitesse Unveils Industry's First Ethernet-Optimized Networking Solution for 4G/LTE Small Cells
Vitesse Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: VTSS), a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for Carrier and Enterprise networks, has expanded its Serval™ Carrier Ethernet switch engine portfolio with the six-port Serval Lite (VSC7416). Serval Lite integrates Vitesse's IEEE1588v2 VeriTime™ technology, already adopted by customers comprising 60% market share in microwave backhaul and 75% market share in millimeter-wave backhaul. This latest Serval device is optimized for small cell applications, delivering rich Carrier Ethernet features at 75% lower power and 50% lower BOM cost than competitive options.
Market analysts project an estimated 64.2M small cell base stations in use by 2016, with the microwave small cell backhaul equipment market alone growing to $6.4B by 2017.
Click to Tweet: Analysts predict 64.2M small cell base stations in use by 2016. Lower costs & power usage key for #4G #LTE #smallcell http://bit.ly/RHBg9g
"Carriers are planning and moving to increase 3G/4G/LTE coverage and capacity by deploying small cells, which will play an increasingly critical role in mobile networks," stated Michael Howard, principal analyst at Infonetics Research. "The new networking and connectivity requirements of a large number of small cells pose a major technical challenge for small cell backhaul. And yet there is more difficulty added by the size, power, and cost constraints of small cell equipment. Vitesse has created new options for 3G/4G/LTE small cells with its latest Ethernet-optimized Serval device with state-of-the-art packet timing technology."
"Serval Lite enables the cost and power-efficient deployment of small cell base stations backhauling to an all-IP backbone," said Uday Mudoi, product marketing director at Vitesse. "Vitesse VeriTime solutions are the clear choice for OEMs looking to meet power budget requirements and the level of features demanded by carriers for network access and mobile backhaul."
Advanced Feature Set in Ideal Form Factor
Serval Lite meets carrier grade small cell backhaul needs, integrating Carrier Ethernet features needed to support advanced packet-based services in a compact, low power package. At less than 1.5W power, Serval Lite simplifies thermal design, significantly reducing equipment costs in small form factor outdoor deployments.
Complementing the previously announced Jaguar™, LynX™ and Caracal™ switch engines for Carrier access, aggregation, and mobile applications, Serval family highlights include:
- VeriTime nanosecond-accurate IEEE1588v2 timing technology that can meet LTE and LTE-Advanced network requirements, even over variable-rate and asymmetric millimeter wave and microwave links;
- Support of multi-operator OAM&P and Service Level Agreements for Ethernet management, enabling RAN sharing and third-party backhaul ownership;
- Hierarchical QoS (H-QoS) support for complex delivery of traffic with rich media content over 4G networks;
- Integrated MIPS processor which allows advanced protocol support without a discrete CPU in the board design, reducing overall BOM costs; and
- Power dissipation under 1.5W, ideal for compact applications requiring a Power over Ethernet (PoE) solution.
Availability and Samples
Samples of Serval Lite are available now. More information about VSC7416 can be found at www.vitesse.com/products/product.php?number=VSC7416.
About VeriTime for IP Edge

This call for papers is to find interested parties to form a panel that would explore the ways in which slavery shapes emancipation for the 2013 Southern History Conference. Ideally, the panel would be comprised of slavery scholars from a broad range of Southern regions, in order to fully reflect the incredible breadth of experiences, perceptions and understandings of the impact of slavery on emancipation. The panel would unpack how the structure of slavery imposed limitations on Reconstruction and how those restrictions then molded the contours of freedom in the South. My paper would focus on the nature of slavery in Northern Louisiana, a place in which the rough-hewn tenor of the landscape was coupled with commercialized drive towards rapid economic advancement. I would investigate how the material, ideological and cultural structures in this region shaped the options and prospects of freedom.
If interested, please respond by August 15, 2012.

Industry News: Around the Industry
Furniture Moves Forward: Sector Sees Post-Recession Growth
Certain sectors of the furniture industry benefited during the recession. Casual and outdoor furniture saw increased sales because people were spending more money on their homes rather than on vacations, according to Michael Hudgens, Southeast Regional Manager of CIT Trade Finance at CIT Group Inc. This topic, among others, is discussed in "Furniture Moves Forward: Sector Sees Post-Recession Growth," the latest in a series of in-depth executive video Q&As featured in the award-winning CIT Executive Insights video series.
Pent-Up Demand Driving Sales
As markets improve and many Americans regain confidence in the economy, furniture sales will see a lift. "In 2012 the furniture industry grew almost double the rate of the overall economy," said Hudgens. "We think that was due to pent-up demand. Also, as the housing market improves, the furniture business will continue to see increased sales."
Opportunities and Challenges
The challenges facing the industry now include determining where sales will come from and how to make it, such as adopting e-commerce strategies. Another problem is how to serve the 25-35 year-old demographic. "People in that age category really don't want their parents' furniture and see these products more as disposable versus durable," said Hudgens. "This is what many furniture companies are trying to solve right now, and this is both a challenge and an opportunity."
Issues Facing the Industry
The top three issues facing the furniture industry right now are rising costs, the consolidation of the customer base and securing financing. "Whether you are a domestic manufacturer or an importer, labor is scarce and expensive," said Hudgens. "Secondly, retailers have consolidated from independent retailers to chain stores and then big box retailers. Lastly, when the housing market collapsed, furniture sales did as well. As a result, several banks and lenders pulled away from the furniture market, making financing difficult for businesses to secure."
"The outlook for the sector is very positive. It's a great business to be in and one that's very important to CIT," said Hudgens. "We believe the companies that work with us have a huge advantage over their competitors because of our knowledge base and our deep experience in the sector."

Penguin have re-covered a load of their books in the lovely 'classic' style covers. I was particularly inspired by 'The World According to Clarkson' re-badged as essays.

Cliff Does a Radiohead
From The Times today – link to online version of the story.
So Cliff is taking 1p off the price of his new album for every person that pre-orders (down to a minimum of £3.99) – the starting price is £7.99. Do the simple math and you realise that it's only going to take 400 people to get there. But as the article says that'd be twice as many people as bought the last album direct!
Tony Wilson and Eva Pascoe on the Internet
Awesome footage. Eva Pascoe (founder of Cyberia and member of the digerati) tells Tony Wilson all about the internet.
[Update: Thanks to Steve for the link to the newer better version of the video – nice one mate]
This Busker is Well Good
Saw him in North Laine on Saturday. This epic psychedelic trance improv was just part of his set. A proper one-man-band with mad skills.
Again sorry for the video quality. I think I might have to invest in some kind of camera that can do half decent video content. Anyone got any tips? I've been recommended the Sanyo Xacti ones as being pretty hot.

Oh My God!
Like any good Mac Geek I upgraded to the new version of OS X (Leopard) at the weekend. And its very nice. A painless experience and there's literally zero learning curve. But at the same time I keep finding new little things that are better than they were before. And I've had to read any instructions or manuals at all.
It's really a very good upgrade experience.
But then I checked my mail and saw this:
Luckily it was only a momentary display glitch and I've only got a fraction of that many mails.

Mini – Lunchbreak Moonwalking
Yesterday I blogged about theotherlunchbreak.com – Mini's really nice lunchtime learning sessions.
I managed to get along to the 'Learn to Moonwalk' session and it was great!
Sorry about the rubbish quality – my phone video camera just isn't good enough…
A free lunch and a thoroughly entertaining lesson in the moonwalk – I'm still not an expert, but I've got the knowledge and the building blocks ;-)
Thanks Mini and everyone involved (Faris tells me that it's Momentum who are responsible).
And get this: I blogged about it because I really liked it and experienced it. Not because anyone asked me to.
Sony's RecYou
There's been mutterings of recyou.jp around for a few days.
It's a very slick Japanese flash site for Sony Walkman. It's quite hard to navigate your way through it, I managed by trial and error rather than a knowledge of Japanese. Basically you can upload a photo and it animates you in time with music. Your animated head can then be used / displayed in various ways.
Here's my RecYou head:
My RecYou Head from iaintait on Vimeo.
Scary huh?!?
It was made from this photo (just this one photo, no other information at all – that's the amazing bit):
Pretty damn impressive technology and the site's got some very slick presentation. I can't really comment on whether I think it works from a communications perspective because of the language and culture gap. Here's a video showing what they're doing in terms of guerrilla projections.
That music really does my head in though…
My suspicion is that it'll win a few awards for it's craft and technical wowness.
Web 3.0 Doesn't Sound Like Much Fun
I wasn't going to post this as it's not all that enlightening. It's from a few months ago and is Eric Schmidt (Google CEO) talking about web 3.0 as a bunch of lightweight free distributable micro applications / services. Which is all very well, but he doesn't make it sound all that sexy.
The reason I posted the clip is out of sheer hatred for the journalist who asks the question.
"Easy question. What is web 3.0"
"We know what 2.0 is"
He's such a tool.
But thankfully in the YouTube comments Atomgott brings the debate right back to reality
I dont care what they call it. As long as the amount of porn on the interwebs keeps growing.

I think Andre is kinda correct but, to be fair, this is the fight to check if Robert might have special skills. Andre does have some natural advtanges with speed and power so to overcome than will mean that Robert has something about him that makes him good. IDK about Andre sometimes, it seems like he sees the big picture but misses what puts it altogether. Always seems like he's looking beyond the fight in front of him.
anyway, maybe he's not special but
He's a southpaw Berto already has issues with that.
Along with Ortiz, Robert has some of the shortest hooks in boxing...Berto also has issues with that. You don't necessarily have to be fast if your punch only has to travel 6 inches.
He can fight inside...Berto has a major issue with that.
He's been off a year. A tough fringe contender would probably make it some rounds with Andre right now.

I like Berto, but he did have a problem in the past with a southpaw who happen to be a pretty good technical boxer. I personally though he lost to Luis Collazo, and this fight will be interesting to watch. I want to see how he deals with the Ghost, who presents some of the same issues he ran into in the Collazo fight.

Special to the Local
Sulphur-area residents are encouraged to attend a meeting this week with U.S. Postal Service representatives regarding the future of the post office that serves that village in northern Henry County.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6, at Sulphur Christian Church, 8447 Sulphur Road.

One candidate to be Kentucky's Commissioner of Agriculture has done stand-up comedy. His opponent thinks his campaign is a joke.
The Democratic candidate, Robert "Bob" Farmer of Louisville operates his own marketing firm, in addition to his occasional comedy performances. James Comer of Monroe County, the Republican candidate, is a farmer who has also served as a state representative.
Sheriff's Dept arrests:
Randall Lyons and Janice Shely of Bethlehem announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Samantha Lyons to Kevin Wright, son of Gerald Wright, Pendleton and Karen Wright, Louisville.
The bride-elect is a 2006 graduate of Henry County High School and a 2011 graduate of the University of Kentucky.
She is employed with both Henry County and Eminence Independent Schools.
The groom-elect is a 2005 graduate of Henry County High School. He is a Conductor at CSX.
Barbara and Victor Ray Fallis of Pleasureville announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Julia Dawn Spaulding of New Castle to Anthony Lee Smith of New Castle, son of Doug and Cindy Smith, Bagdad.
The bride-elect is a 2003 graduate of Cornerstone Christian Academy and is pursuing a career in nursing.
The groom-elect is a 2010 graduate of Western Kentucky University with a bachelor's degree in Horticulture.
Laurie Beth Grigsby and William Harold (B.J.) Clark Jr of Frankfort were united in marriage at 1 p.m., Sept. 10, 2011.
The wedding was held at Pleasureville Baptist Church with Rev. Ray Eastman officiating the ceremony. Music was "Tangled Up in You" by Aaron Lewis and "Only You Can Love me this Way" by Keith Urban.
Mark your calendar today—the next statewide 2nd Sunday is Oct. 9. 2nd Sunday is designed to get individuals, families and children moving and engaged in activity—whether they bike, walk, run, play or participate in fun and healthy activities.
The idea for Kentucky's focus on movement was inspired by a similar, popular event in Bogota, Columbia, where officials close more than 70 miles of roads to vehicles, opening them to local residents for exercise every Sunday.

Analysis and Comments on a March 1998 Wedge Event
A rather strong cold-air wedge event occurred over eastern Alabama and northern Georgia from March 17th through March 19th, 1998. In Alabama, the leading edge of the cooler air is commonly refered to as a "back-door" cold front, as the front arrives from the east, rather than from the west. During a wedge event, a shallow cold air mass spills southward along the east side of the Appalachian Mountains and fans out as it reaches the foothills of Georgia and Alabama. By the time the relatively colder air reaches Alabama, it may only be a few thousand feet thick, as seen in the Birmingham (BMX) sounding (below). As with arctic air masses which occasionally sweep rapidly southward along the front range of the Rocky Mountians, the shallow nature of these air masses can evade temperature forecasting equations based on certain atmospheric models. The current Eta Model has grid spacing of 32 km in the horizontal and 45 levels in the vertical. However, numerical temperature guidance still relies on the NGM model. While the NGM temperature forecasting schemes are very good, they rely on a model which does not have the vertical resolution found in the Eta model, especially in the lowest few kilometers above the earth's surface.
The surface map below was during the peak of the wedge event. Surface temperatures across northern Georgia were in the lower 40s while middle 60s were observed in western Alabama.

absorption line
The pattern of absorption lines in a spectrum is diagnostic of the types of atoms and molecules present, for example, in the surface layers of a star or the atmosphere of a planet. Absorption lines are seen in the spectra of the Sun and other stars. Most of them are Fraunhofer lines but some arise in the cool interstellar gas along the line of sight and give clues to the physics and chemistry of the interstellar medium. Absorption lines in quasars carry information about intergalactic space. See also absorption band.

Although it is perfectly legitimate to criticize Israeli policies, the rhetoric employed by anti-Israel groups in 2008 frequently slid into anti-Semitism. In writings and widespread rallies throughout 2008, such groups supported terror and violence against Israelis; depicted Israelis as Nazis; claimed that Israel has no right to exist; and described Zionism as an inherently racist ideology. These messages effectively demonize Jews and deny Jewish aspiration to self-rule, and as such may fairly be characterized as anti-Semitic.
Anti-Israel groups were galvanized to employ such rhetoric twice in 2008: first in connection with the 60th anniversary of Israel's independence, and then toward the end of the year (and continuing into 2009) in connection with Israel's military operation in Gaza.
Surrounding the celebration of Israel's 60th anniversary, groups intent on criticizing its founding and existence organized anti-Israel events around the United States.
These groups focused on the notion that it has been 60 years since the "Nakba," an Arabic word meaning 'catastrophe' or 'disaster' that many Palestinians and Arabs use to refer to the 1948 war and the establishment of the State of Israel.
One of the more important groups involved in this activity is Al-Awda, The Palestinian Right to Return Coalition, a grassroots organization that opposes Israel's right to exist and which openly supports terror groups that target Israelis. Al-Awda's Sixth Annual International Convention, which was labeled a "Nakba" commemoration and held from May 16-18, in Anaheim, California, featured speakers who vocalized particularly virulent anti-Israel rhetoric. Al-Awda co-founder Salman Abu Sitta referred to the "Nakba" as the "largest, longest operation of planned ethnic cleansing in history" and compared Gaza and the Nazi Holocaust by referring to Gaza as "the new Auschwitz." A Jerusalem-based bishop, Atallah Hanna, spoke about the need for Palestinian Muslims and Christians to unite against the "one enemy [Zionism]."
The convention was endorsed by a wide array of groups, including ANSWER and the International Action Center (IAC). Arguing that all of Israel should be returned to the Palestinians, IAC representative, John Parker, said, "From the river to the sea, we will not stop until all of us are free."
Numerous rallies organized around the country commemorating the "Nakba" were marked by denunciations of Israel's existence. For example, on May 16, a "Nakba" commemorative rally that took place at Dag Hammarskjold Park in New York City featured demonstrators holding signs that read, "Palestine Peace not Ethnic Cleansing," "Free Palestine from the River to the Sea." A banner signed by Al-Awda read, "Return Resistance Liberation/ By Any Means Necessary." One particularly offensive poster read, "Zionism is Nazism" and had a drawing of a Star of David juxtaposed to a swastika. Demonstrations organized specifically to counter celebrations of Israel's 60th anniversary were also widespread throughout the U.S. on Israeli Independence Day.
In response to Israel's military action in Gaza to staunch the barrage of Hamas rockets hurled at Israeli towns and cities, ANSWER and the Muslim American Society helped organized a "National Day of Action" on December 30, 2008, in more than 30 locations around the country. Many of the demonstrations, which were held in front of Israeli embassies and consulates and U.S. Federal buildings, as well as at Holocaust museums and memorials, were marked by offensive Holocaust imagery likening Jews and Israelis to Nazis, anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, as well as expressions in support of terror. One demonstrator in Ft. Lauderdale was depicted in a YouTube video screaming, "Jews go back to the ovens!"
Approximately 200 anti-Israel rallies were documented in various U.S. cities in the first weeks of January 2009. On January 10, at least 10,000 demonstrators picketed in Washington D.C., where signs reading "Jewish Run Media Hides Jewish Terrorism," "Hitler was Right. Jews are blood suckers," and "Stop Israel's Nazi Genocide." At one point the crowd chanted, "Hitler, Olmert they're the same. The only difference is their name."
A sign at a January 19 rally in Chicago read, "Death to Jews and the State of Israel." At a January 10 rally in San Francisco, signs read, "Target all Zionist Businesses," and "Globalize the Intifada." A sign at a January 10 rally in Los Angeles described Israel as a "Cancer upon the World." A January 9 rally in Chicago included a sign claiming that the Mossad was responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. At a January 5 rally in San Francisco, one sign read "Jews: The First Terrorists." Other major anti-Israel protests took place in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
While anti-Israel rallies, including expressions of support for terrorism and anti-Semitism, are unfortunately to be expected when Israel undertakes military action, more troubling were the anti-Semitic incidents that were directed at Jews or Jewish institutions:
Each of these incidents was decried by community leaders and investigated by law enforcement.

XFX Fatal1ty 8600 GT Professional Series
Published: 1st July 2007 | Source: XFX | Price: |Conclusion
The XFX fatal1ty 8600 GT is a great performing card, just as it's brother the 8600 GT "XXX" Edition was. With a passive cooler, excellent "out of the box" overclocks and decent overclocking after the factory you can't complain.
Pricewise the XFX 8600 GT Fatal1ty Professional Series is only a few pounds above the "XXX" Edition and a little above the rest of the market at around £99 @ Komplett . I think the extra little bit of cash is worth it, although you could buy a stock clocked 8600 GT for less and fit an aftermarket cooler onto it.
However if you're looking for good looks out of the box, a nice overclock and a very quiet (silent) card then look no further.
The XFX Fatal1ty 8600 GT get's a big OC3D thumbs up and an "HTPC Approved" Award.
+ Great silent cooler
+ Nice overclocks
+ Very fast card
+ Great looking
- Slightly more expensive than a stock 8600 GT
- Cooler is a little large
- Lack of decent bundle
Thanks to XFX for the review sample

It`s a decent performer, and gives u the cooling benefits, if that`s the solution u`r after. @ ~ £111, I don`t think u can go that wrong tbh, cards in that bracket are only give or take a small sum.
The packaging does seem disappointing. Package clutter doesn`t cost the company anything at all, and promo stuff especially. Infact the XFX 7600GT 580m is packaged a whole lot better and is obviously an older card.
What impresses me most is the clocking of the Foxconn GTS card - but that detracts from the topic I guess >.<
If XFX are fishing for some impressive feedback, the backplane slot needs a bit of `tarting up`. Something as simple as XFX 8600 GT Fatal1ty in a green raised stamping on their black background would not only promote the card visually, but further seperate it from the mainstream. From the back as it stands, it looks like a regular XFX -anything- card.
Another thing, people will be put off with the likes of the 3DMark scores - that`s a shame. It`s not enough to dismiss the card imo, when it performs obviously better in `the real world`.
(oh and correct the reference to an 8700 on page 4, I got overly excited when I saw that)Quote
The clocks on that thing seem to be huge compared to stock, I'm suprised it can pull it off as much as it does being passive.Quote
@Rast - the foxconn OC's more as it is a stock-clocked card. People generally would rather buy the fastest out there but the small enthusiast overclocking segment would (and should) buy the cheapest and OC that
Still a nice cooler like this one gives you a great reason to buy the cardQuote
I would have to say though that i see a flaw on page 2 Kemp. The cooler looks like a modified version of the one i have and if thats true the memory is not cooled at all.Quote

Edit: Well yes it is actually cooled according to the image.Quote
One thing I am not sure about is this.
The 8600GT has two Dual Link DVI ports for output as well as an S-Video out. It's at this point I will remind you that no HDTV connection is included, which is a shame. Having said that, the DVI ports are both HDCP enabled so you should be good to go if you want to connect to your HDCP enabled HDTV...if it has DVI-in.
If the card has HDCP, wouldn't a simple adapter cable allow it to be fully compatible with HDMI televisions?Quote

Its left me with a dilema now I will Watercool GPU(s) in the not too distant future, once i get my feet wet.Would it be worth Going SLi on this then liquid cool eventualy OC?
Since i've been reading the forums i am gettin more tempted (its taken me 10 years to put a multimeter on my PSU)
My current setup is 2 year old being on benifit its hard to keep up but OC'ing will help.Or would i be better off spending the same £ on One card? I Have more questions but i'll limit them Quote
And isn't that card very very pretty!Quote
Hah! Must be nice, considering i have a bigger one on my video card and my memory is not being cooled at all.Quote
Edit: Well yes it is actually cooled according to the image.
XFX Fatal1ty 8600 GT Potential for more oc'ing with liquid
XFX 8600 GTS XXX Massivly oc'd already.
I'd appreciate some input i'm lookin to spend £250 on 2xSLI or One card
As for choice between the two - they're clocked the same, but if you're watercooling you may as well get the cheapestQuote
But for a selfish reason, I`d like to see how the 2 x 8600 get on >.<Quote

Only if you have an 8800GTX and a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket, with absolutely nothing else to buy, should you consider SLI.Quote

One of the nation's foremost bioethicists wants the U.S. to have a "national conversation" on the topic of designer babies. Noting that a wide range of genetic technologies is now available for people planning a family, Thomas H. Murray, president emeritus of the Hastings Center, says there needs to be a serious discussion over how much discretion would-be parents should have. "Preventing a lethal disease is one thing; choosing the traits we desire is quite another," he writes in an article ("Stirring the Simmering 'Designer Baby' Pot") in Science.
He refers to public hearings two weeks ago by the FDA to consider whether to permit human testing of a new method of assisted reproduction—mitochondrial manipulation—that would prevent the transmission of certain rare diseases and perhaps address some causes of female infertility. At issue is the safety of the technology, as well as its ethical implications. Among those concerns is that daughters produced by this procedure could pass down the mitochondrial DNA to their children. So far the U.S. has not allowed these kinds of genetic alterations across generations.
"Discussion of the ethics of mitochondrial manipulation cannot be postponed indefinitely," writes Dr. Murray. "With little prospect of sensible legislation in the near term, and conflicting guidance from professional organizations, a national conversation about current and emerging technologies shaping the choices that parents will have is urgent."
He says that the FDA's discussion is the latest development that "tapped into a simmering controversy over what it means to have a child in an era of increasing convergence among genetic, genomic, and reproductive technologies." Those technologies include preimplantation genetic diagnosis and prenatal screening to detect health problems in the fetus, including the prospects of a blood test of a pregnant woman to screen fetal DNA in her blood.
"Of all the possible choices prospective parents might make, sex selection for nonmedical purposes has prompted the strongest policy response," continues Dr. Murray writes. "It is prohibited in at least 36 countries, but not in the United States."
The absence of federal legislation has left the regulation of sex selection up to professional societies. But they have different guidelines, reflecting "clashing ethical frameworks for thinking about parenthood in the genomic era," he points out.
So Dr. Murray put out his call for national conversation about current and emerging technologies shaping the choices that parents have, beginning with an examination by the U.S. Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.
"It will not be easy to avoid the quicksand of the abortion debate," writes Dr. Murray in the Science article. "But it would be a great public service to provide a sober assessment of the choices that would-be parents increasingly face, and to encourage a respectful dialogue about the meaning of parenthood and the worth of a child so that parents and children can flourish together."

Keeping children healthy includes understanding how the environment around a child's home and community affects health. Environmental effects on health are particularly important for children:
Children's tissues and organs are growing and developing, so they are at greater risk of harm if they are exposed to a toxin in the environment.
Children can have a higher exposure to a toxic chemical after touching it because they frequently put their hands, or other objects, in their mouths.
Graphic Jump Location
Chemicals (one of the many types of environmental toxins) are used to make things that we use every day. There are now more than 84 000 different chemicals used in making products such as food, clothes, and toys. Many of these chemicals have been created to help us store and use food, such as plastics. Others were developed to improve safety, such as flame retardants. Others were developed to improve quality of life, such as pesticides.
Despite the improvements that these chemicals can bring to our daily lives, there are concerns about children being exposed to harmful chemicals in multiple ways, such as through food, drinking water, air, soil, and even house dust.
Some pediatricians work on researching possible environmental causes of children's illnesses and disorders. A recent article in the Archives described several common chemicals and the current research about whether they could cause harm to children. Common environmental toxins discussed in that article include the following:
• Phthalates are a type of industrial chemical that is widely used in many ways. One example is to help make plastics more flexible. Some research that has been done found that high levels of phthalates have been related to decreased hormone levels and possibly breast cancer in adults.
• Bisphenol A, also called BPA, is a chemical used to make certain plastics, such as water bottles. Some research has found that high levels of BPA can negatively affect hormones and the cardiovascular system.
• Pesticides are used to keep insects off of fruits and vegetables so they can grow. Some research has shown that pesticides within homes, such as on the vegetables you get from the store, can persist for a long time. Pesticides have many negative health effects, especially on the brain.
Talk to your pediatrician if you are concerned that your child has been in a "highly exposed" environment, such as a hobby shop or workplace that uses chemicals.
Take steps to reduce exposure to chemical toxins. There are now many products that are labeled "phthalate-free" or "BPA-free." Microwave foods in glass rather than plastic containers.
Consider buying organic produce to reduce exposure to pesticides.
If you live near polluted waters, be aware of and follow fishing advisories.
Reduce indoor dust exposure by cleaning carpets and dusty surfaces regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air filter.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stepped out Saturday night to attend the Directors Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles – and observers say the couple were as happy as can be.
"They looked very giggly," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Pitt, who was at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza to introduce his Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino, was an attentive companion to Jolie, a surprise guest, who wore a gray, single-shoulder Elie Saab gown with gold hoop earrings by Ofira Schwartz, Stuart Weitzman shoes and a vintage bag.
Pitt, whose curious beard has been trimmed, pulled Jolie's chair out for her and touched her back throughout the night as they chatted animatedly with Tarantino at a table of colleagues from the film.
"They look like they are having a fun time," says an onlooker of the couple as they worked the room. "It's definitely a date."
And the Winner Is ...Pitt gave a warm introduction to his director, complete with a spot-on Tarantino impersonation, but Basterds didn't take the top prize. Instead, it went to The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow, who is the first woman to win the feature film award, which almost always predicts the Best Director winner at the Oscars.
Jolie wasn't the only unexpected star to show up Saturday. The other one was Cher, who was a surprise "trophy girl" for lifetime achievement winner Norman Jewison, her Moonstruck director.
It was a long night, lasting more than four hours, but Pitt and Jolie, who stayed close the entire time, didn't seem to mind.
"They were extremely affectionate," says an onlooker.

HOUSTON - Union forward Jack McInerney wasn't as happy as you might expect after setting a team scoring record over the weekend.
"I would rather have won [the game]," McInerney said after the Houston Dynamo defeated the Union, 3-1, Saturday to clinch the final playoff spot in the MLS' Eastern Conference. "It [stinks] to lose and we just played a really sloppy game."
The 20-year-old McInerney scored in the game's 19th minute by heading a cross from Sheanon Williams for his fourth goal in as many games. The previous record was shared by Sebastien Le Toux and Danny Mwanga.

PayPal continues its bricks-and-mortar invasion.
eBay's (NASDAQ: EBAY ) popular financial platform announced deals this week with several traditional retailers. Building on last year's push for real-world relevancy, there are now 23 chains -- watching over 18,000 stores between them -- that now accept PayPal at the checkout register.
One of the new partners is Jamba (NASDAQ: JMBA ) , and PayPal can even come in handy without ever stepping up to the register.
The leading smoothie chain is now accepting PayPal for pre-pay orders at one of its California locations. Aspiring fruit-drink sippers place their orders online -- through the PayPal smartphone app -- and choose the pickup time. They can then bypass the cashier and go straight to the pickup counter when they arrive at the Emeryville store.
Now, it's true that Jamba's been offering pre-order convenience for those paying with traditional credit and debit cards for years. Jamba is that kind of forward-thinking company. However, attaching itself as one of the first two dozen retailers testing PayPal as a transactional platform shows that the growing franchise is making sure that it stays ahead of the blender-whirring pack.
Jamba has plenty of momentum these days.
The stock soared 71% higher in 2012, and the shares are already trading nearly 10% higher early in 2013. After the company posted back-to-back profitable quarters during the seasonally potent spring and summer seasons last year, analysts see Jamba coming through with its first annual profit in 2013.
Starbucks validated the smoothie market with its 2011 acquisition of Evolution Fresh, but it will take years before the java giant fleshes out its juice bar chain to challenge Jamba's market dominance.
Jamba's big -- and getting bigger.
The 788-unit chain introduced new concept stores and formats yesterday, promising to refresh and redesign its existing stores over the next four years. Its expansion goals for 2013 are ambitious. It plans to open 60 to 80 new stores worldwide, while also adding 1,000 self-serve JambaGO locations and 100 limited-menu Smoothie Stations. It will also refresh as many as 100 stores with the new sleek redesign.
Then again, if PayPal's test expands beyond the Emeryville test store, it's not as if patrons will have too long to admire the new digs.

Hi all
Each time i create sites, I get a custom welcome page for that site. On that custom page layout of mine I want to have the newly created site's document library on it. Is that somehow achievable?
I am trying in SPD but not having much luck as of yet. Any ideas?
