So, this week, we wrote about the NSA quietly admitting that there had been intentional abuses of its surveillance infrastructure, despite earlier claims by NSA boss Keith Alexander and various folks in Congress that there had been absolutely no "intentional" abuses.
Late on Friday (of course) the NSA finally put out an official statement admitting to an average of one intentional abuser per year over the past ten years. The AP is reporting that at least one of the abuses involved an NSA employee spying on a former spouse. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal suggests that spying on love interests happens somewhat more often:
The practice isn't frequent — one official estimated a handful of cases in the last decade — but it's common enough to garner its own spycraft label: LOVEINT.
A handful is still significantly more than once. And it's a lot more than the "zero" times we'd been told about repeatedly by defenders of the program.
While the NSA says it takes these abuses seriously, there's no indication that the analyst was fired.
Much more troubling is that it appears that the NSA only told its oversight committee in the Senate about all of this a few days ago:
The Senate Intelligence Committee was briefed this week on the willful violations by the NSA's inspector general's office, as first reported by Bloomberg.
"The committee has learned that in isolated cases over the past decade, a very small number of NSA personnel have violated NSA procedures — in roughly one case per year," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, said in a statement Friday.
Of course, this is the same Dianne Feinstein who, exactly a week ago, said the following:
As I have said previously, the committee has never identified an instance in which the NSA has intentionally abused its authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes.
Yeah. Because apparently the NSA chose not to tell the committee until a few days later, despite it happening for years.
And, of course, they release this all on a Friday night, hoping that it'll avoid the news cycle…
In the meantime, the NSA just made Senator Feinstein look like a complete fool. She's been its strongest defender in Congress for years, and has stood up for it time and time again, despite all of this questionable activity. Then, last week, it lets her tell lies about it without telling her beforehand that there had been such abuses. At this point, it's abundantly clear that Feinstein's "oversight" of the NSA is a joke. She's either incompetent or lying. Either way, it appears that the NSA is running circles around her, and isn't subject to any real Congressional oversight. At some point, you'd think that maybe she'd stop defending it and actually start doing her job when it comes to oversight. You'd think the fact that it let her make a complete fool of herself by claiming there had been no intentional abuses should make Feinstein realize that the NSA situation is out of control. But, tragically, this seems unlikely. Even her statement seems to want to minimize the seriousness of the fact that she — the person in charge of oversight — was completely kept in the dark about very serious intentional abuses. Senator Feinstein just got hung out to dry by the NSA. You'd think she'd stop going to bat for it and its lies.
Either way, we've now gone from General Keith Alexander and Feinstein claiming "no abuses," to them saying no "intentional" abuses, to this latest admission of plenty of intentional abuses, including spying on lovers. Perhaps, instead of lying, it's time for the NSA to come clean and to get some real oversight.

This applies to the MixMaster
On very early MixMasters the connector between the main board and digital card was different to on the later, standard models. If you have a very early MixMaster but a newer ADC card then you may have problems connecting the card to the main board. DO NOT try to force the connector but please contact us for an adapter which will allow you to connect.

I switched from Jive to Alliance Phones. They are truly the best VOIP Phone System that I've had. They stand out from the rest with their real value for money and polite and prompt service. The online portal makes managing the phone system much faster and easier. All our drivers have the mobile app installed on their smartphones. It just makes things so much easier and simpler.
They advertise FREE unlimited calling to the US and Canada and FREE magicJack to magicJack international calling, which it's an absolute lie. I signed for five years service promotional fee, that was 99.99, when the bill came in CAN dollars, was $187.90 they said they where not using the banking rate exchange and they have to charge me the exchange that was based on their calculations. I tried to cancel but they said I only would be refunded 17.00can because penalties for the cancelation. So I didn't have a choice and I had to keep the service. A month later, all a the sudden I stop receiving phone calls, I tried to fix the problem from my MJ online account but didn't worked. I tried to keep using the service just making outgoing calls and every often the calls where interrupted by recordings reminding to check my account or simply interrupted my phone calls. I contacted customer service which they said they where unable to fix the problem and they where unable to tell me the reason why my account was in hold. It took me few weeks calling every day and trying to contact someone to help me, but they told me that they where not even in the American continent to attend my concern. They said that they where in a place which they where no allowed to tell me, but they said they will pass my report. Couple of weeks later the problem became obsessively annoying interrupting my outgoing phone calls. I was unable to find help for this problem, so I decided to become rude with these people and they transferred to a supposed responsible. I was on my only account while I was speaking with this woman and she said hold on in the phone and she just cancelled all applications, devices and services which I saw the changes instantly on line. She came back to me on the phone and she said that I violate the time allowed on my service. I said that I paid for the five years service and that was advertised as unlimited phone, she said that some where in the 56 pages agreement said that the services isn't unlimited phone calls passing certain period per day. So they took my 187.90 can, they tried to make an other charge for the cancellation which thanks to my bank blocked the charge, they cancelled all my apps, devices and blocked the number I was using to contact them. There's no agency or government service to report this company's scam. I would ever recommend to get this terrible service that may was the must expensive phone service I have ever paid.

Boo-ing October?
As a big fan and devoted reader of TH, I think October's "Boo!" issue was over the top.
I know that all things zombies are currently in style, but the "Zombies in Paris" article was tasteless. The pictures were especially grotesque. It did nothing for this reader to en-hance the issue and to portray a haunted Texas.
Just got a preview of "Zombies" and it looks great! Thank you for coming to Paris and helping with tourism. Even for the undead, TH has been a part of my life since childhood.

STOCKTON - Police made four arrests early Sunday following a robbery that began at a south Stockton bar and wound up at a Wilson Way motel.
According to police four people were at a bar at closing time and were invited to a motel to have more drinks. Three others arrived around 4:30 a.m., one brandished a firearm, and the suspects demanded money and cell phones. After receiving a call from the victims, police arrested the four suspects and recovered one of the victim's phones, as well as a stolen handgun, in the 300 block of North Wilson Way.
In custody at the San Joaquin County Jail are Monique Cortez, 23; Rosantito Castaneda, 28; Joseph Alvarez, 23; and Candi Leyva, 31.
STOCKTON - Police are looking for five armed suspects who broke into a north Stockton home early Sunday morning, ransacking the residence and stealing electronics and cash.
According to police, a 33-year-old woman and 42-year-old man were in their home in the 4500 block of Lanza Lane when they heard the crash of their sliding glass door breaking. When the robbers entered the house, the male victim was able to escape and seek help, police said. The robbers pointed guns at the woman, ransacked the house and fled.
Police described three of the five suspects as: a 5-foot-8-inch black man with a medium build in his 30s wearing a gray beanie and black hooded sweatshirt and armed with a long barrel revolver; a heavyset 5-foot-6-inch black man in his mid to late 20s wearing a black beanie and black hooded sweatshirt and armed with a black semiautomatic handgun; and a heavyset 5-foot-4-inch black man in his early to mid 20s with a thin mustache wearing a black beanie and black hooded sweatshirt.
STOCKTON - Police are looking for a man named Benito who stabbed a 49-year-old man he had been drinking with in the parking lot of a south Stockton bar about 2:45 p.m. Sunday.
After the two men were finished drinking, the victim left the area on foot but noticed the man following him. The man then told the victim he was going to kill him, pulled out a knife and stabbed him several times, police said. The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment.
According to police, the suspect is a 25-year-old Latino male with dark hair and a short and stocky build. The suspect was last seen wearing a black shirt, green jacket and black pants, and police said he stays in Mormon Slough.
STOCKTON - Police are looking for an armed man who robbed a business in the 800 block of East March Lane late Saturday.
An 18-year-old clerk was working in the business shortly before midnight when she was approached by the suspect, who had a black handgun. The suspect pushed her to the ground and stole money from the cash register.
A customer intervened, punching the robber in the face as he tried to flee. The robber dropped his weapon but was able to leave the business and jump into a black BMW occupied by two women.
Police said the suspect is a 5-foot-8-inch, 160-pound black man of indeterminate age who was wearing a black hooded jacket, jeans and a black scarf over his face.

Campbell, a 41-year-old Upshur Countian with a Leesburg address, was sentenced by 115th District Judge Lauren Parish after admitting he assaulted a girl under age 14 on or about Jan. 1, 2011, Byrd said.
Under current law, Campbell must serve at least half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. He waived his right of appeal, and Judge Parish ordered forfeiture of his peace officers' license, as well as his lifetime registration as a sex offender.
After sentence was pronounced, the victim, who is still a minor, "provided an emotional Victim Impact Statement where she told the defendant that this would haunt her for the rest of her life," Byrd said.
Byrd said Campbell was a Mt. Pleasant police officer for several years before resigning around last Aug. 1 while under investigation. Campbell was subsequently arrested Aug. 7 and indicted in October, Byrd added.
"The state was prepared for jury trial this last week, but negotiated this plea bargain at the request and consent of the child and her family," Byrd said in Friday's news release. "She felt this sentence would most likely ensure that he would never leave prison and she would avoid having to testify to these very sensitive and horrifying events that led up to this crime," he added.
The girl, her mother, and family witnessed the plea, Byrd said.
Assistant District Attorney Natalie Miller represented the state at the sentencing, while Longview attorney Edward Choy, who was an assistant district attorney to Byrd until a few months ago, represented Campbell.

I would like to provide the best care for my cat, who is 14 1/2 years old. About six months ago, he was diagnosed with FIV and FIP. He has been an indoor cat for the past 10 1/2 years. He now weighs about 10 lbs., and shows to me a healthy coat and eyes, bowel movement, mobility, etc. Oh, he also has arthritis. Ever since he was a baby, he has had, and still has a heart murmur/or arrythmia. I feed him: Holistic Natural Feline Formula Feline Kibble from Bench and Field. I still have not found a very good wet formula that is healthy and that he enjoys. Can you recommend a few? Do you think it's best that I make his food? (I tried the raw food diet years ago, and he absolutely hated it, so I don't want to go down that road again).
I have to be careful, because his brother is prone to urinary infections, so the food has to be compatible as well. (His brother is a senior also, is prone to on and off, non-serious bladder infections, and is very overweight - he weighs about 18 lbs.) Besides a good wet diet, are there any other supplements I can give him? I am thinking about a good multi-vitamin and a good immune booster…
Any good quality canned food would be appropriate for both of your cats. Nature's Variety Prairie, Wellness, and Merrick Gourmet are all made with high quality ingredients and offer a wide variety of flavors so that you can usually find several that your cat will enjoy. Home prepared food is, of course, an excellent part of your cats' overall diet.
Cats are creatures of habit, and frequently protest changing to a healthier diet, especially if they are used to dry food or foods with sweeteners and additives. To help encourage your cats to try new healthier foods you can crumble treats over the food to get them eating. I did this with my own cats (and still do), that were "addicted" to dry kibble to encourage them to eat raw food and healthier canned food. The freeze dried all meat treats are perfect for this. They crumble easily almost to a powder and just a small amount can be sprinkled over the food. Halo Liv-A-Littles & Whole Life Pet Treats offer freeze dried meat treats (cats seem to favor chicken & fish flavors).
Here are a couple high quality supplements that can help enhance your senior cats' immune systems:

Search terms are not case-sensitive. Lower- and upper-case letters return the same search results. For example, searching for Lung Cancer or lung cancer will yield identical results.
The default search is "AND". For example, when you search for "lung cancer smoking", the search engine will find only those items that have the words lung AND cancer AND smoking in them.
The closer the words appear in the text to one another, the higher the item's ranking in the results list.
1. Be specific. Enter more than one word, if necessary. For example, if you're looking for information on Lung Cancer, type in both words rather than just Lung.
2. If there are no results for your search, try another search, using only the most important words relating to your topic. For example, to find items on lung cancer, type in lung cancer, not "What are some treatments or signs of lung cancer".
3. To broaden your search, use the word OR. For example, searching for lung OR pulmonary will return items that have at least one of these words.
4. To exclude words from your search, use the word NOT. For example, to find items on lung cancer that do not mention smoking, type lung cancer NOT smoking.
5. To search for a specific phrase, use "quotation marks". To find references to the American Lung Association, type it in the search tool with quotation marks around it like this: "American Lung Association". This will find only references that contain this exact phrase.
6. To put your search into a specific order, use parentheses ( ) which tells the search engine what to do first. For example, to find items on lung or pulmonary and cancer or neoplasm, type (lung OR pulmonary) AND (cancer OR neoplasm).
7. To search for a word with several different endings, use an asterisk * at the end of the main word. For example, to find smoke or smokes or smoking or smoked, type smok*. Use a question mark ? to limit these alternate endings to just one letter. For example, to find birth or births but not birthing or birthday, type birth?.

Programming and Gaming (2)
by, 10-28-2009 at 07:20 AM (1998 Views)
Ok, so you're probably wondering. "Why is Freejack talking about programming?"
Fair question.
If you recall from the prior postings, I started with computers because of gaming so programming is integral to and supports my gaming. Without gaming, I might never had started programming and I wouldn't be here today (or perhaps not at this point anyway).
Today, I'll give you a quick run down of where I am now, in the 21st Century.
You recall my Computerized Dungeon Master. It has a listing of characters with light and time management. It also popped up relevant tables for whatever class you were. So a Thief would pop up a thief table if I needed it.
When I got back into gaming, Shadowrun was the reason. I unpacked gear getting ready to sell and when I opened the Shadowrun box with all my books, I just couldn't sell it and here I am.
But it has been a while since I gamed and I was really a DM with AD&D. While on dumpshock, I found a link to pavao's site and the cheat sheets he has available. They really helped get me started with the more complex tests. Melee, Ranged, Drone, Matrix, and Astral combat along with a few of the more complex tests.
While I liked the sheets, they were lacking in one thing that would help a newbie like me: page references. It's all well and good to have a cheat sheet but nothing explained what "DP" meant. I had to hunt around until I found it (Damage Points). As I hunted around, I wrote down page numbers in the margins. I also found a couple of minor mistakes.
Ah but I like to program too. So while I was using the sheets, I was thinking back on TCDM. One of the things I did with TCDM was learn new programming languages.
I've been mucking about with php for 4 years now I guess and the same with mysql. I've dabbled in css longer in trying to get my picture site looking nice. More recently I've been doing some dabbling in javascript.
So I started creating Javascript pages using css to take the simple cheat sheets and turn them into computer based cheat sheets.
I incorporated the modifiers as checkboxes or radio buttons, added fields for character (both attacker and defender) stats, and even added page references to back up the program.
It worked real well. I know a bit more about combat especially and other tasks (spells and matrix work). But about this time I started thinking about the next level. I needed a quick comparison page because of the new Runner's Companion with Karmagen options and whipped up this page.
It's a simple character creator. No bells and whistles. It doesn't save anything. It just takes the items that are calculated for build points and karmagen and shows you the work. But it's frigging humungous. Since I didn't fully understand javascript yet, I used my old programming and scripting skills to get the page created but it's not right.
Back to my idea. I wanted to create a Commlink program. Just a program that simulates the commlink. I have several ideas for it and it's just about time to start poking at it.
Next though is I wanted to create a test sheet. This sheet would list out all the tests you make in Shadowrun all nice and neat, with page references and such.
But of course I need to be able to enter character stats. Ahh again, back to TCDM.
First off I created a few data files which have the sample characters from the book. Then used a script to create the main page and populate it with the character data. Then started adding in the Skills, Attributes, and Qualities.
Then the Commlink.
I got a little wrapped up in creating the commlink section. The programs are listed. I snagged some graphs for the lights and created a bogus computer screen startup based on my computer knowledge.
The Shadowrun Game Manager
This is where I am now. I'm working on creating a mysql back end to store the data but it will create the page shown above. Then you, as a player or GM can save the page (and the associated javascript) and should be able to run a game from a computer without the need for internet access.
No it doesn't fully work. With the mysql work I'm doing, I'm also thinking on the next phase of the program.

At one level, the world champion St. Louis Cardinals can be considered lucky to have made the playoffs, given their mediocre regular season record. But these comments from reader and Cards fan Mark Arnold suggest that, given their injury woes, the Redbirds can be considered unlucky to have compiled a mediocre record:
At the end of May, [St. Louis] had the best record in the National League. Pujols was unconscious; his numbers projected to 80 homers and 220 RBIs. He severely strained a muscle in his ribcage at the beginning of June and went on the DL. When he came back, he was merely great, not unconscious.
At season's beginning, Mark Mulder was tied for the most wins by a starting pitcher in the major leagues in the last five years and he won six games in April and May. After two disastrous outings in June, he went on the DL and ended up having rotator cuff surgery. To replace him, the Cards traded for Jeff Weaver in July after the Angels gave up on his 3-10 record and 6.50 ERA. Weaver's first two starts in St. Louis were pathetic, but he gradually came round and won three critical post-season games with an ERA under 3.
The closer, Jason Isringhausen, had some disastrous appearances in August, went on the DL in early September, and had surgery on his hip. It wasn't clear until the last week of September that Adam Wainwright would replace him. Wainwright gave up no runs in the post-season.
Rolen's shoulder was not 100% at any point in the season. Eckstein was on the DL for much of August and September, at the very time Edmonds was out with a concussion. Sure, they staggered down the stretch. Half the team was in the hospital. It wasn't until the playoffs that they had their full team on the field. Injuries are part of the game, but I've never seen a championship team overcome so many.
JOHN adds: Mark makes good points. I'll only add that if Francisco Liriano's forearm and Brad Radke's shoulder hadn't given out, it would have been the Twins celebrating a World Series victory! But when you have injuries is just as important as how many you have.

Hey guys~
Wanted to share this thoughtful letter from the AJA (The Association of Japanese Animations) to all the Crunchyroll users. The AJA consists of Anime studios, such as Studio Pierrot, Tezuka Pro, and Sunrise.
As you remember, we together raised over $55,000 dollars to go towards the rebuilding of Japan. All of the donations were then delivered to the AJA to support the Japan Red Cross Society.
The AJA wanted to express their appreciation and gratitude for your heartfelt contributions and support in helping rebuild Japan. Yuji Nunokawa, president of the AJA and CEO of Studio Pierrot, who animates Naruto and BLEACH, , has written a letter to Crunchyroll users. You may view the English version or the original Japanese version.
Again, thank you for your willingness to help those in need during a devastating time in Japan and for supporting Crunchyroll as we continue to bring you licensed content directly from Japan.

If the letter was dated 25th April, how come we're only seeing it now??
Just wondering
accounts come and go but embarrassing usernames are eternal
while the letter was signed two weeks ago, we still needed to receive it in the mail from japan, confirm it is okay to display on crunchyroll, scan it, notify all crunchyroll members who donated first, then post in the forum

Awesome! I didn't think or expect to hear back from anyone when I donated, I just wish I could do more. It is good to hear that our help was appreciated.
reading that just gives me a feel good feeling, even though I only got to donate once
It'd be an even better feel good feeling if they'd give you Bakuman Season 2 next season hinthintwinkwinknodnodnudge ...but I'll take this for now
..hmm nice just nice i really don't have much more to add.
Living life one day at a time
Wow thats so cool.
I wish I could of donated.
lol you said notifying donaters first
i was a donater and never heard anything i only read it about here now
ir is it because my donateion was only 10 bucks ?
getting angry on the world for why are there dumb people ????
Donated too, but never heard anything after that...
Please buy a CR membership to support the anime industry.
thats cool....
My guess is crunchyroll had more important stuff to do than post the letter. They did translate it to English for us...give them a break. I was not expecting to even see any form of thanks so it is nice they posted this letter.
Although I donated too and this is the first im hearing of it...maybe they only notified large contributors?
Legal Anime http://www.crunchyroll.com/user/Assassinx89/pages/legalsites
Obviously we should have another donation!
Also donated, but didn't find out until now.. but thats not the problem here,,
we donated without expecting something back...
it was a good thing that AJA and Crunchyroll took the time to share this...
The gratitude is mutual. I appreciate all they have done.

I must question, did you actually check your email before reading this then? The email was only sent out early today.
Touche, LiRa89. Maybe we can get the rest of the back episodes of Bleach seeing as how they animate it . Though it's okay LiRa89 said it nicely, donations weren't made to expect something in return.
Hmm, but then I'd feel bad about asking CR to ask Studio Pierrot. They would have to go through some hurdles to get the remainder of Bleach on Crunchyroll I presume and that would make me feel bad too because they'd probably be made to feel obliged to humor us.
It wasn't a favor from us in the first place as we didn't expect anything in return. It wasn't out of the way for any of us.
Alas I'll live with the steady release of Bleach back episodes once a week which at this rate will take approximately 90 weeks to catch up to episode 266 which isn't the current episodes. Come to think of it 90 weeks is short of 2 years by 18 weeks. It doesn't matter I'm a patient man. My loyalties lie with CR to the death. I'll even donate my _____ to CR. That's how loyal I am.
Wait am I getting through with my Bleach plea I wonder? It's me just pulling a leg. If I'm pulling too hard here CR I'll give you my leg.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
No, no, take it. I don't need it.
I'll keep on smiling like this always. I'm really optimistic.
I shall GB...Sorry not enough of it apparently. My word will be made better....
Oooo personalized and everything. Awesome.

Wool Gauze Fabric
Loosely woven with a prominent weave, wool gauze is translucent in nature. Originally woven in Palestine, this weave structure features weft yarns that are arranged in pairs and are crossed before and after the warp yarns keeping the weft in place. This weave was first introduced to bring stability to fine yarns and is now used to replicate rustic textiles. Wool gauze is ideal for lightweight sweaters and cardigans worn all year long.

Indian troops kill Pakistani soldier in Kashmir
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Indian troops shot and killed a Pakistani soldier who crossed the makeshift border separating Indian and Pakistani held Kashmir, officials said Friday, in a development that threatened to upset the delicate ceasefire in a region claimed by both countries.
The incident in Kashmir evoked similar episodes in January, in which three Pakistani soldiers and two Indian soldiers were killed. The deaths have ratcheted up tensions in an area where the two countries have long battled for dominance.
A Pakistani military official initially told reporters in a text message Friday that the soldier was reported killed on Thursday night after he'd accidentally crossed the line of control that separates the Pakistani- and the Indian-held sides of Kashmir, but gave no details. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in keeping with military protocol.
In a more strident statement later Friday, the Pakistani military accused the Indian troops of killing the soldier after he identified himself and explained why he was accidentally in their territory.
The statement, from the public relations arm of the Pakistani military, said that civilians had seen the Pakistani soldier being questioned by the Indian military and told Pakistani officials. Pakistani officials then approached the Indians, asking them to hand over the soldier. But when generals from both sides spoke this morning, the Indian side reported that the Pakistani soldier had been killed, according to the statement.
"We condemn such an inhuman and brutal act of killing our soldier after he had identified himself and explained his position," the statement read. Inter Services Public Relations said that in previous incidents, when Indian soldiers have strayed into Pakistani territory, they have been returned.
Pakistan's foreign ministry also condemned the killing.
"The killing of our soldier who had lost his way and inadvertently crossed the Line of Control, goes against the understanding reached between Pakistan and India on speedy return of inadvertent line crossers and has the potential to further vitiate the atmosphere," it said in a statement.
Pakistan has asked India to carry out a thorough investigation into the incident and ensure it does not recur. But the Indians blamed the Pakistani soldier, saying he had begun firing when confronted by their troops.
Lt. Col. Rajesh Kalia, a spokesman for the Indian army in Kashmir, said the soldier was killed in a firefight with Indian troops in which an Indian soldier was injured. He said Indian troops had seen "suspicious movement" in the Nowshera sector of the line of control.
"Our troops challenged him. This individual resorted to indiscriminate firing. Our troops retaliated. In the ensuing firefight, he was killed, and one of our soldiers was injured," Kalia said.
Kalia added that Indian forces realized the dead man was a soldier "after the Pakistan army contacted our officers."
"We are returning his body with full respect as a soldier deserves," he said.
Pakistan and India have fought two of their three wars over the Muslim-dominated region that each claim as their own. Any incident along the line adds to the tensions.
In January, three Pakistani soldiers and two Indian soldiers were killed in a series of attacks along the line of control. India said one of its soldiers was beheaded.
Pakistan and India struck a cease-fire agreement over Kashmir in November 2003. There have been periodic violations of the cease-fire, but the incidents in January were the most serious.
The resulting tensions have disrupted cultural and sporting ties: Performances by a Pakistani theater group were canceled in the western Indian city of Jaipur and in the Indian capital following protests by hard-line Hindu groups, and nine Pakistani hockey players who went to India to participate in a tournament were sent home.
More recently, the Indian-held part of Kashmir has been rocked by violent anti-India protests after a man convicted in the 2001 attack on India's Parliament was hanged in a New Delhi jail.
Many in Kashmir believe Mohammed Guru did not get a fair trial and the secrecy with which the execution was carried out only fuelled the anger in a region where anti-India sentiment runs deep.
A curfew has been in place since the execution, but groups of demonstrators have defied it and clashed with government forces. Three protesters have been killed and more than 100 have been detained, according to police.
Insurgents have been fighting in Kashmir for more than two decades, demanding either a separate state or merger with Muslim-majority Pakistan.
India accuses Pakistan of financing and supporting insurgents agitating in Kashmir.
Associated Press writer Aijaz Hussain in Srinagar, India contributed to this report.

Pipelines are the operative construct in PDAL, and it is how data are modeled from reading, processing, and writing. PDAL internally constructs a pipeline to perform data translation operations using translate , for example. While specific applications are useful in many contexts, a pipeline provides useful advantages for more complex things:
pipeline is used to invoke pipeline operations via the command line.
As of PDAL 1.2, is the preferred specification language for PDAL pipelines. XML was dropped at the 1.6 release.
A JSON object represents a PDAL processing pipeline. The structure is always a JSON object, with the primary object called

Stage Objects
A simple PDAL pipeline, inferring the appropriate drivers for the reader and writer from filenames, and able to be specified as a set of sequential steps:
A simple pipeline to convert

PDAL process data in one of two ways: standard mode or stream mode. With standard mode, all input is read into memory before it is processed. Many algorithms require standard mode processing because they need access to all points. Operations that do sorting or require neighbors of points, for example, require access to all points.
For operations that don't require access to all points, PDAL provides stream mode. Stream mode processes points through a pipeline in chunks, which reduces memory requirements.
When using

PDAL uses stream mode if possible. If stream mode can't use used the applications fall back to standard mode processing. Users can explicitly choose to use standard mode by using the option.
Users of the PDAL API can explicitly control the selection of the PDAL processing mode.
PDAL JSON pipelines always consist of a single object. This object (referred to as the PDAL JSON object below) represents a processing pipeline.
Besides, Poisson approximation is also considered for a wide class of discrete random variables via operator method and method of probability distance [see Hung and Thao (
stretch over the knee boots Red Laurence Dacade 1qKIb
) and Hung and Giang ( 2014 ), for more details].
The main purpose of this paper is to use the Stein–Chen method for providing the bounds of Le Cam-type inequality (
Hiking Sock boots White Rick Owens lts84Auve
) and ( 3 ) in Poisson approximation for row-wise arrays of independent negative-binomial distributed random variables. The results obtained in this paper are extensions and generalizations of some results in Teerapabolarn and Wongkasem ( 2007 ), Teerapabolarn ( 2009 , 2013 ).
During the last several decades the Stein–Chen method has risen to become one of the most important tools available for studying in Poisson approximation problems. The Stein–Chen method has been dealt with in detail in many articles [the reader is referred to Stein ( 1972 ), Chen ( 1975 ), Chen and Röllin ( 2013 ), Barbour etal. ( 1992 ) and Barbour and Chen ( 2004 ) for fuller development]. The Stein–Chen method can be summarized as follows:

Cain, Lincecum in pursuit of Giant accomplishment
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain have resumed their race for achievement. Then again, maybe it never ended.
The pair of Giants right-handers, who have acknowledged that their friendly competition constantly fuels their drive to outdo each other, approach this season with another goal in sight: 100 career victories. Both Cain (93-88 lifetime) and Lincecum (89-70) believe it's entirely fitting that they should jointly pursue this standard.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain have resumed their race for achievement. Then again, maybe it never ended.
The pair of Giants right-handers, who have acknowledged that their friendly competition constantly fuels their drive to outdo each other, approach this season with another goal in sight: 100 career victories. Both Cain (93-88 lifetime) and Lincecum (89-70) believe it's entirely fitting that they should jointly pursue this standard.
Cain compared this lap of his match race with Lincecum to the first half of the 2008 season. That's when he, Lincecum and Jonathan Sanchez became the first trio of Giants pitchers to reach 100 strikeouts apiece by the All-Star break. Winning No. 100 with Lincecum, regardless of who reaches the mark soonest, would generate a similar thrill.
"It'd be pretty cool to share that," Cain said. "It's kind of a special thing you think about, because you go through it together."
Lincecum also addressed the enriched meaning of a shared experience. "We've been through the organization; we've both been through the bad times and the rise to get to the good times," he said.
They've goaded each other toward greater heights during this ascent.
"You treat it as if you're competing for the No. 1 spot, in a sense," Lincecum said. "You're always competing to be better than the guy before you or the guy after you. That's something that's been instilled in us as pitchers."
Said Cain, "It's one of those things where you're always rooting for the other guy to do well -- and in a way, you're rooting for him so that pushes you to do well."
Lincecum, who turns 30 on June 15, is 3 1/2 months older than Cain. Though their age difference is minimal, Cain possesses the status of being the longest-tenured Giants player, having reached the Majors in August 2005. So Cain, the big brother of the Giants' pitching fraternity, tends to dispense good-natured grief to his counterparts, including Lincecum, who doesn't seem to mind.
"Matt's always been playful, kind of funny," Lincecum said. "That's what's been instilled in us as baseball players. You kind of give the other guy a [hard time] just to wake him up. You can't always wait for the coaches to get on you."
Lincecum has never, ever boasted about any of his feats. If he were so inclined, he could point out that his back-to-back National League Cy Young Awards in 2008-09 and three consecutive league strikeout titles (2008-10) may forever make his trophy case sparkle brighter than Cain's. Otherwise, their accomplishments parallel each other's. Lincecum, a four-time All-Star, started for the NL in the 2009 Midsummer Classic; one year later, Cain received the start after his third All-Star selection. Cain's perfect game against the Astros in June 2012 preceded Lincecum's no-hitter at San Diego by 13 months.
Each contributed handsomely to the Giants' World Series triumphs. Lincecum won the Babe Ruth Award, given by the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, as the Most Valuable Player of the 2010 postseason. He went 4-1. Cain allowed one unearned run spanning 20 1/3 innings in three starts.
In 2012, Cain started the clinching games in each postseason series and twice earned the decision. Despite being assigned to the bullpen, Lincecum was nothing short of spectacular, yielding one run in 13 innings while striking out 17 in five relief appearances.
Experience has taught both to place personal victories in perspective. Each has been victimized by poor run support at various times in their careers. Cain finished 15-30 in 2007-08 and posted an 8-10 record last year after a shockingly subpar first half (5-6, 5.06 ERA). Lincecum has endured three consecutive losing seasons and recorded a 4.76 ERA in the last two years.
Pitching victories increasingly have been regarded as a team-oriented statistic, particularly as starters throw fewer complete games. Cain and Lincecum realize this.
"There's a lot of games you probably can pitch and win on your own by making yourself get through situations," Cain said. "But you have to have help. You have to have that defense behind you, and you have to get some runs at times when maybe you don't pitch so well."
"It's up to us, obviously, to keep the game close," Lincecum said. "Regardless of who picks up the ball behind us, that's what our job is, to put us in position to win. ... For us, we want to win as a team, not necessarily to put the win under my name."
Four other Giants have signed their names to 100 wins since the franchise moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958. Hall of Famers Juan Marichal (238) and Gaylord Perry (134), top the list, followed by Kirk Rueter (105) and Mike McCormick (104).
"When you think about it, it's an accomplishment," Cain said.
But he proceeded to cite Greg Maddux (355 victories), Tom Glavine (305) and John Smoltz (213), prompting humility.
"You're like, man, a hundred's really not a whole lot," Cain concluded.
Skeptics thought Lincecum wouldn't last 100 pitches in professional baseball, much less win 100 Major League games.
"I'll be proud of it when I get there," he said. "That's not something I've ever actually shot for. We'll see where we are at the end of the year, and hopefully the wins outweigh the losses."
They sounded as if they're beginning to motivate themselves for the next 100.

The world has long been clamoring for a proper collaboration of Chicagoans Kanye West and R. Kelly, and thankfully the leadoff track from the newly leaked G.O.O.D. Music mixtape "Cruel Summer" delivers just that.
"To The World" evokes images of beauty like vast skies, sunsets and sounds like it could be from an anti-bullying PSA. Until the words hit. There's a soaring chorus from R. Kelly backed by majestic strings and keys, all while Kelz kindly reminds everyone "Deuces minus one/ Middle finger to the sky tonight." It's every bit as soft as "Lift Off" from last year's "Watch the Throne," but R. is a markedly better fit here than B was.
Kanye, meanwhile, after receiving public comments from both of the last two U.S. presidents, is covering all his bases here, calling out Mitt Romney because "Mitt Romney don't pay no tax." He refuses to be denied in case Mitt wins. He also closes with "R. Kelly and the god of rap / [bleepin]' on you, holy crap," which is unfortunate proximity for R.'s name and bodily waste. Though he may be used to it by now.

the problem is that it makes him out to look like a prick
he drags the entire world into a war, kills countless people, and abuses the hell out of the entire human race - because of his ego.
and THAT (in addition to other things) is why lelouch went from being my favorite character in ep 21
to a character i disliked by the end of ep 22, and utterly hated by the end of ep 23
if i was suppose to be sad when he died, then i'm sorry to say that i wasn't
i just stopped liking him by then.

nothing "justifies" what they did.
to justify doing something you have to have a good reason for doing it
the fact that lelouch chooses to do this because his ego wont let him choose any other path (confirmed by side material) does not justify it
it in fact, condemns it all the more, because its motivated by ego rather then necessity

Consider for a moment that after Lelouch died certain things he did were revealed to the public AND got a really bad PR spin on them to make him look as bad as possible.
This is the way the public might see it. Suzaku was the knight of Zero, so it was probably under Lelouch's orders that he nuked Japan and killed 35 million people. Maybe they reveale Geass to the world too. Suddenly you can blame Euphie killing all those Japanese on Lelouch as well. Schneizel nuked the capital of Britannia. Well of course they tell the public that Schneizel did that to try to stop Lelouch. He told Lelouch he would blow up Pendragon if he didn't surrender, Lelouch said go ahead.
Obviously a great deal of that is TOTALLY false, but that's how I would spin it if I wanted to blame stuff on him. They may have even found a way to blame Lelouch for some of Charles's actions, make him out to be the evil mastermind behind all the world's suffering. Combine that with a bit of abducting people that speak up against him then spreading false rumors of them being killed, and you have an instant super tyrant!
Who knows, maybe Lelouch even coached Suzaku on the sorts of things to say about him. That way Zero himself can be the on to shift all the blame to Lelouch.
Thus him being the worst tyrant ever would be just another lie, typical Lelouch deception and manipulation.

Now, you don't have to agree with him, especially since this specifically includes Zero Requiem, but it at least proves that Lelouch was not intended to be a mere villain. And if a lot of people don't see him as one on the grounds that have already been stated here over and over, that's perfectly legitimate.
If Lelouch is an evil prick, then Suzaku is a suicidal one. Episode 5 shows how similar they are - partly, they are doing what they're doing for exactly the same reasons, and partly, they have selfish desires and serious issues that make them do stupid things.
Suzaku looks more like a stereotypical hero than Lelouch at first glance, but in the end, he's not even one step closer to being a moral authority than his best friend.
The average Britannian is no more of a moral authority than Clovis.
Just because it could be worse, doesn't mean it's all right. I highly doubt Zero killed as many innocent people as Britannia did, and he certainly didn't condemn them to a life that might just be worse than death.
Those oppressed supported Zero - or at least, about half of them, which is certainly something -, and those not oppressed used to totally fangirl Clovis. While I can't blame them for having taste, it doesn't make them look especially good in this context.

season 2 starts with japan being turned into a giant work camp
its people forced to work to the bone, fight to the death to amuse britannians, and even used as merchandise
and all because "losers have no rights"
this isn't an individual thing, its the way the japanese people are viewed as a whole
i may judge lelouch harshly myself
but there is no time in which i dont consider britannia to be much worse then him
in fact, much of what i dont like about him, may well be a result of the fact that he is a PRODUCT of that society

I guess I specifically focused on season 1, because that's where most of the focus on Britannian tyranny is, even though they become even worse about it in R2.
I also could've mentioned Suzaku's moral and empathic myopia that reared its ugly head in R2.
And to say that Lelouch was the way he was because of Britannia, past and present, is the understatement of the century.
To add to the Zero Requiem discussion, it happened because Lelouch was a broken man. A dangerously uninhibited broken man at that, but a broken man nonetheless.

How did Britannia compare to other in universe nations? What little we saw of the EU seems to indicate that they were arrogant cunts, the Chinese as I recall were infamous for essentially being a third world nation, pre-invasion Japan had what may have been an iron fisted military dictator hell bent on taking his entire nation with him in a blaze of glory. As you can see it was a real contest of shining stars...and the real world sure as hell have a pretty spotty record IRL too.
Britannia was a cruel, uncaring, and nationalist evil Empire cliche, but until it is revealed that it's eco-friendly cities were actually powered by number burning furnaces, I'm pretty sure it's not comparable to NAZI GERMANY.

China had poverty as a problem, but they weren't nearly as bad as Britannia.
Japan didn't have an iron-fisted ruler, just a prime minister who people followed. And if you find this unusual, know that real-world Japan was almost exactly the same in WW2 (except those "to the last man" elements weren't running the show.

Don't go there. It will be hell if we debated whether Lelouch is alive or not. Lelouch is dead, unless the creators wants to remake the last arc (I have no problem with R2 except in the last arc), then he is dead. Deader than death itself.

Britannia may not be powered by Number burning furnaces, but look at the two massacres in season one. Did any Britannian so much as bat an eyebrow at the thought of razing Shinjuku Ghetto or slaughtering the people in the SAZ? Their methods and reasons differ for sure, but comparisons to wholesale slaughter of civilians can be made.

The closest from Charles' description could be that it's direct democracy AKA Switzerland (As it's run by the mob) but that's impossible to do for massive populations.
In fact all of them sound bad except for maybe the EEU but they barely had any presence or say in the series.
Ironically, while it was Britannia that went all gung-ho against the world and brought war and destruction, it was the only thing that could save the world and bring peace. I mean how screwed up is that? They started out as the "bad" guys and then Lelouch comes in and next thing you know they're the "good" guys. You gotta give the guy credit.
In the end, a government's only as good as the guy/girl running it. In each nation there were dozens of guys that fought for what was right (specifically in Britannia where we saw Rolo assassinating many of those senators and others who fought for Numbers' rights)

About Audrey Anastasi
Audrey Anatasi paints figurative images concentrating on the human face, figures, and nature. Anatasi describes her depictions of women in contemporary settings as "breaking the 'third wall' with individuals in the paintings scrutinizing the viewer on equal footing with the viewer scrutinizing the painting." In other works, recognizable scenes are replaced by dark, indeterminate spaces through which mythic male and female figures seem to fall, often nude. According to Anastasi, these figures are meant to appear at once heroic and suffering, caught in a Promethean struggle or confronting inner demons. Although she is right-handed, she has painted with her left hand since 1990, in order to "reconnect with the physicality of the paint stroke…and redirect my attention on the soul of the subject matter."

Surface water, groundwater, and drought
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California law and state government treat surface water and groundwater differently, with both resources coming under scrutiny as a three-year drought lingers.
SURFACE WATER: Water that comes from above-ground sources, such as rivers and creeks. In the wake of the drought, California ordered mandatory cutbacks this year in the amount of surface water that some communities, farms and other users get. In non-drought years, surface water provides roughly 60 percent of water for the more than 38 million Californians and their enterprises.
GROUNDWATER: Water that has accumulated in aquifers and other underground pools, reachable by wells. During this drought year, up to 65 percent of the state's water is coming from groundwater. Except for some areas where courts or other entities have set limits, property owners currently are allowed to pump as much water as they choose. A bill headed to the state Assembly would introduce the California's first comprehensive groundwater management plan.

Maximizing Education Reaching Individual Transformation What Do You Do for Los Angeles County Inmates?
One of LASD's exemplary programs is Maximizing Education Reaching Individual Transformation, also known as the MERIT program. This program is overseen by the Education Based Incarceration Bureau (EBI) and is facilitated by volunteers, professional instructors, and LASD's Deputies and Custody Assistants who embrace a belief that incarcerated individuals can invoke significant change in their lives.
The MERIT program consists of three dynamic components that aid the success of this program. At the core of MERIT are Life Skills. This is the first component and is comprised of five different focused areas built to enhance cognitive thinking skills in aspects such as; personal relationships, parenting, anger management, drug education and spiritual growth. Second, the Veterans Program is designed to re-direct previous United States Military Veterans to re-establish their pride within themselves, while providing them with a new direction in life. The last component is the IMPACT program, which is attended by inmates who are sentenced to incarceration and court-ordered programming through Los Angeles County Drug Courts. Finally, IMPACT is designed specifically for these incarcerated persons to obtain a "clean slate" and helps them understand that drugs aren't the answer to life's challenges, and that they should make amends with their past in order to create a better and brighter future.
EBI's MERIT program started in 2006 at Pitchess Detention Center, South Facility, operating three program dorms (IMPACT, Veterans, and Domestic Violence). Since then, the MERIT Program has expanded county-wide to all seven custody facilities in providing programs within a classroom setting in order to benefit all inmates.

[Editor's Note: With this post, we welcome the newest addition to our staff, Ashley Calder! Ashley will be a familiar face to many of our readers, as her writing and creative work has been widely published in print and online in the scrapbook world. She's also the author of the book, Scraptastic!: 50 Messy, Sparkly, Touch-Feely, Snazzy Ways to Jazz Up Your Scrapbook Pages –Nancy]
Feathers are a hot and trendy fashion, home decor, and art-inspiration item right now! Seen in everything from feather hair extensions, earrings, feather screen printed clothing, to watercolour wall art, scrapbooking is not to be left out! Fortunately a few scrapbooking companies have already jumped on this trend, and there are products made just for scrapbookers. Today I am going to take a look at feather-inspired scrapbooking products currently available.
Several scrapbooking companies debuted new lines featuring a good dose of feathers last month at CHA Winter 2013. As a feather-lover, I was excited to see these new releases as there were relatively few available in the scrapbooking world until now.
Jenni Bowlin Studio came out with a fantastic new line that is just chock full of lovely feathery goodness.
Jenni's new feather rub-ons come in black, gold, and silver. I love that there are different styles and sizes included! Four of the designs even match previously released Jenni Bowlin Studio stamps and digital cut files, which means you can layer these feathered beauties.
Two styles of of chipboard feathers have also been added to the existing line of die cut plain chipboard elements.
These new feather tags come strung on cotton string. Each package contains nine pieces in total, three of each size. I love how versatile these are, and can see they are going to be easy to slip into an embellishment cluster or great tucked in with some of Jenni's other gorgeous tags.
One of Studio Calico's newest lines, Sundrifter, contains many feather motifs including on patterned paper, die cuts, and even a lovely pink feathered piece of flair! I love that the feather patterned paper options include both a multicolour bold pattern, and monochromatic tone-on-tone patterns for those that prefer subtle patterns.
In Sundrifter, I see bold and multicolored feathers on patterned paper, plus some b-sides in monochromatic tone-on-tone feather patterns. That pink feather flair is adorable, and I'm excited about those feather cardstock die cuts.
So, we've seen lots of stylized feathers so far, but what about real feathers? Bella Blvd has a rainbow of full and fluffy feathers for those that prefer the real thing.
There are several styles of feather stamps out there, from photo-realistic to whimsical patterns. This set of two feather stamps by Cocoa Daisy is fun and versatile.
If you're thinking, "hey, I like feathers, but I don't scrapbook bird pictures!", don't worry — feathers aren't just for birds any longer! Just like you don't need to scrapbook constellations to use stars, or a florist shop to use a flower, you can use feathers just about anywhere that needs some airiness, delicacy, or simply a cool trendy touch!
I paired photos of my three pretty girls with three sets of feather embellishments. A Jenni Bowlin Studio feather stencil served as a great host for paper and wood veneer feather embellishments. I cut cardstock feathers using Jenni Bowlin Studio feather digital cut files, but those Jenni Bowlin chipboard feathers above or the cardstock die cuts from the Studio Calico Sundrifter line would be a great substitute if you don't have an electronic die cutter. The Studio Calico wood veneer feathers were transformed with a dusting of fine gold glass glitter.

If I gather correctly that you're only doing art, not programming, then this is something you'll need to work with your programmer(s) to answer. There's no standard format for 3D models on the iPhone, so it's up to the implementor of the application to parse files in whatever way they choose.
okay then thank you a lot

Barcelona have announced on their official website that they have reached an agreement with Xavi and Carles Puyol over a contract extension until the summer of 2016, while Lionel Messi will stay with the club until 2018, with the deals to be penned in the coming weeks.
Puyol's previous contract was due to expire at the end of the 2012-13 campaign, but the 34-year-old defender will remain at Barca for three additional seasons.
The centre-back recently returned to full match fitness after a spell on the sidelines due to an elbow injury and revealed that depending on whether he can avoid injury, he would love to play until he was 40.
Xavi, 32, midfielder had a deal with Barcelona until the summer of 2014, and has now reached an agreement for two more seasons after he already revealed last week that negotiations had reached the final stages.
The Spain international has been a key figure at the Catalans this season with three goals in 16 La Liga appearances.
Messi was initially under contract with the Camp Nou side until 2016, but Barcelona were desperate to offer the 25-year-old a new deal following his impressive performances this calendar year.
The Argentina international has already netted 90 goals for club and country in 2012, and currently leads the Liga scoring charts with 25 strikes in 16 games.

Cluster Four: Social and Cultural Processes
Courses in Cluster Four require students to think critically about their own society and its relationship to the larger global community. These courses develop responsible and enlightened global citizenship by examining a wide variety of the processes that shape the human experience. Students will take one course that focuses on the American experience and one course that examines the global experience.
Cluster Four Structure
Cluster Four courses are not sequenced so that either part of the cluster may be taken first or they may be taken concurrently. Students may not take GPOSC 200 and GPOSC 225 to complete the Cluster Four requirement.
The American Experience
Each American Experience courses provides students with an understanding of the major themes and concepts that structure American life today. GHIST 225 does so through a contextual and document-based study of the American historical experience that emphasizes the interaction of people, ideas and social movements. GJUST 225 frames questions regarding historic and contemporary events in terms of issues of justice, highlighting how societal structures interact with individual lives and vice versa. GPOSC 225 focuses on the evolution and contemporary operation of the American political system by examining its fundamental principles and current dynamics.
Choose one of the following:
GHIST 225. U.S. History
GJUST 225. Justice and American Society
GPOSC 225. U.S. Government
The Global Experience
Each of the courses in the Global Experience is an investigation into a series of global issues that are of great importance to the human community. Topics discussed will vary from course to course. Issues are examined in a systemic context that allows students to see connections between disciplines. The unifying theme is an analysis of overarching structures at the global level that condition people's behavior and which are shaped by that behavior. From this perspective the study of global issues requires more than studying current events; it involves placing these global issues in a systemic context.
Choose one of the following:
GAFST 200. Introduction to Africana Studies
GANTH 195. Cultural Anthropology
GECON 200. Introduction to Macroeconomics
GGEOG 200. Geography: The Global Dimension
GPOSC 200. Global Politics
GSOCI 110. Social Issues in a Global Context
Cluster Four Learning Objectives
American Experience
Students completing this part of Cluster Four will be able to identify, conceptualize and evaluate:
- Social and political processes and structures using quantitative and qualitative data
- Key primary sources relating to American history, political institutions and society
- The nature and development of the intellectual concepts that structure American political activity
- The history and operation of American democratic institutions
- The history and development of American society and culture
- The history and development of American involvement in world affairs
Global Experience
Students completing this part of Cluster Four will be able to identify, conceptualize and evaluate:
- Basic global problems
- Global political, social, cultural and economic systems that shape societies
- The issues involved in analyzing societies different from one's own
- Theoretical models used in studying global problems
- The strengths and limitations of solutions to global problems across and within cultures

Think it's OK to indulge in the occasional glass of wine while pregnant? You might want to put down that bottle.
A new study being hailed as "hugely important" by at least one expert concludes that women who drink even moderate amounts of alcohol while pregnant may risk lowering child's intelligence levels.
Researchers using genetic analysis of more than 4,000 mothers and children found that drinking between one and six alcoholic drinks a week during pregnancy can lead to lower Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores by the time a child is eight.
"Even at levels of alcohol consumption which are normally considered to be harmless, we can detect differences in childhood IQ which are dependent on the ability of the fetus to clear this alcohol," Sarah Lewis of Bristol University, who led the study, told Reuters.
"This is evidence that even at these moderate levels, alcohol is influencing fetal brain development."
Plus: Pregnancy Tests Coming to Minnesota Bars
This study, published in the journal PLOS ONE this week, used a new technique analyzing the genetic variants which modify the effects of alcohol exposure levels.
There is plenty of contradictory advice on drinking while pregnant. One report realeased just a few months ago by Danish researchers concluded that up to eight drinks a week while pregnant is probably OK.
And yet we've also been cautioned by the Centers for Disease Control that there is no safe amount of alcohol to consume while pregnant.
That certainly isn't stopping anyone from indulging. One recent CDC study of more than 14,000 women found that one in 13 pregnant women admitted to drinking during their pregnancies.
Among those who drank, nearly one in five women (1.4 percent of the total women surveyed) said that they had at least one binge drinking experience, consuming four or more drinks at one time during pregnancy.
Did you toast to your pregnancy by knocking back the occasional drink? Or were you a teetotaler? Let us know in the comments.
