Associated Press
MOUNT VICTORY, OHIO: A man has been charged with menacing after witnesses said he pulled out a gun and made a threat during a confrontation between a Ku Klux Klan group and a black man.
The suspect, a 22-year-old Hamilton man, is white.
The Hardin County Sheriff�s Office responded Saturday to a report that a KKK group was walking down a street in Mount Victory, about 50 miles northwest of Columbus. Some participants wore robes or jackets with KKK insignia.
Witnesses say the suspect pointed a pistol at the ground and told the black man �I will kill you.�
Sheriff Keith Everhart tells the Kenton Times the man was legally carrying the weapon. He was charged with a misdemeanor count of aggravated menacing.
Mount Victory had 627 residents in the 2010 census; 615 of them were white.

"Girls" star and showrunner Lena Dunham made an official ad for Obama campaign where she talks suggestively about her "first time" ... voting, of course.
And while some people love the double entendre-filled spot ("Your first time shouldn't be with just anybody. You want to do it with a great guy ... someone who really cares about and understands women!"), a lot of conservatives have taken their complaints to Twitter.
They range from mild distaste for the sexual analogy, to the point accusing Dunham of colluding with Satan. (That Tweet came from Kelly Fenton, the deputy chair of the Minnesota Republican Party. She has since deleted it.)
Note: Ronald Regan actually made a glib remark comparing voting for the first time to losing your virginity, but Dunham's official ad goes into far greater detail.
Here are the most noteworthy Tweets:

We know, the Biturbo really was a black eye on Maserati's reputation… but it's still strange seeing Italian royalty surrounded by proletarian-grade Volvo 240s and VW Golfs in my local self-service junkyard.
While the engine appears to be complete, the interior seems beyond redemption. It goes without saying that the first guy to find this car on the yard went ahead and pried off all the Maserati emblems, with the exception of the sill plates. Anyway, this is my very first junkyard Maserati, after a quarter-century of junkyardic experience. Thanks to Citroën god Henry Hanzel for pointing me in the direction of this great Junkyard Find!

Q: It seems so far my son's winter has gone like this — cold, cold, ear infection, antibiotics, cold again. It would be helpful to know the germiest things he comes into contact with during his day. That way, I can douse him in sanitizer immediately after. Are there certain places or things he should definitely avoid?
A: Eek. I know exactly what you mean. Basically my kids have one long cold all fall and winter long, complete with runny nose and booger whiskers. Charming, I know. The thing is, with toddlers, or any kids for that matter, you are not going to be able to absolutely avoid anything, but at least you can be well-armed with the info you need so you'll know when to break out the "hi-tizer" as my son calls it!
1. The playground. Uch, double uch (is there such thing as a triple uch?). The playground is a prime breeding ground for all sorts of illnesses, and that's because everyone's kids (except your little angels, of course) put their grimy hands on everything. There's also no rule about not coming to the playground if you're sick (thank God for that), so chances are there's some pretty interesting stuff lurking on the monkey bars or the swing set handles. The worst place at the playground? The sandbox, and that's because, according to experts, animals can poop in there and give your child parasites — lovely! So either keep your child away, or if that's impossible, give them a good bath once you get home.
2. Public restrooms. Have you ever tried to change your toddler or infant on those public changing tables in public bathrooms? Chances are that you have. Have you ever wiped down the changing table after you're done with an antibacterial wipe? Probably not. Case in point — a changing table in a coffee shop in Denver. If you've gotta use 'em — try putting a disposable liner down first, like the Chux they use in the hospital. Then wrap up everything inside (except for your baby) and chuck it. (And check out this article on the germiest places in public restrooms.)
3. The doctor's office. Ironically, your kid can actually get sick from your doctor's office. And that's because kids who are there for sick visits are wiping their noses with their hands and then playing with that model train set in the waiting room — the one that your son is playing with … right … now. Some doctor's offices are diligent about cleaning their waiting room toys or books, and some have separate sick or well waiting areas, but some do not. Better safe than sorry — encourage your child to wash his hands once you get into the examining room.
4. The supermarket. No surprise here. Because of the sheer volume of people frequenting your local grocery store every day, it's chock full of nasty germs on all sorts of surfaces — from the floor, to the shopping carts, to the buttons on the credit card machine at the checkout line. If your toddler's like mine, the first thing he'll do when you put him in that cart is start gnawing on the cart handle, which horrifyingly harbors all sorts of nasty bacteria (including E. coli). So do your child a favor and wipe down the cart handle before you put your little one in (some supermarkets now give out wipes right by the shopping carts). Then, don't let him out of the cart if you can help it, and keep him busy with a toy from home while you're signing the signature pad at the checkout counter. If all else fails, use some of that hand sanitizer as soon as you get to your car. Or better yet, leave your child at home.
5. The public water fountain. Experts found that the drinking fountain in some schools actually had more germs than the toilet seat. And one Oregon student's science experiment found that the water coming from his school's toilets was cleaner than the water at the fountain. 'Nuff said.
The moral of the story, folks? You can't protect your kids from all germs but you can be smart when your kids are exposed to the nastiest of the nasty — wash their hands well after visits to the playground and the supermarket, and better send them to school with a reusable water bottle from home.

PIMCO's Mohamed El-Erian says that he expects a drop — or taper — of about $10 billion to $15 billion in the level of the government's monthly asset purchases when the Federal Open Market Committee meets Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Fed's current leader, Ben Bernanke, is expected to step down in January, when his second term as chairman expires. A top candidate for the job, Larry Summers, withdrew his name for the post on Sunday amid growing opposition among Democrats.
"Suddenly, Janet Yellen has regained her status as frontrunner; that signals to the market more policy continuity, which the market takes well," El-Erian (left), PIMCO CEO and co-CIO, said on CNBC early Monday. "The yield curve gets anchored, you get a bull steepener, the front end does well, repression of volatility, the equity market, the credit market like that, and [what] you get is a broad-based rally, and that's what we're getting this morning."
(Other names batted around, observers say, include former Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn and former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.)
Investors may enjoy the Yellen rally, but whoever is ultimately chosen for the post "won't have as much room for maneuver as people expect," El-Erian noted.
Over the next 12 months, the market expert predicts three things to happen at the Fed with respect to quantitative easing.
"First, they will taper. They'll taper small to begin with, but they will taper," he said, coming down from the current $85 billion-a-month bond-buying level.
Second, the Fed is "likely to favor the mortgage market, which means they'll taper more with Treasuries in proportional terms," El-Erian noted.
Third, he believes, the Fed will give itself "quite a bit of wiggle room" due to future uncertainly. In addition, it will "strengthen the forward guidance in order to minimize the impact on markets of the taper."
Once this process is over, the PIMCO executive said, "I don't think you're going to see an increase in interest rates, because the economy remains weak. We're nowhere near escape velocity."
This week's expected taper is not related to any declared "victory on the economy," El-Erian says. "It's because they're worried about what Mr. Bernanke has called the costs and risks, the collateral damage, if you like, of using such a blunt instrument to impact markets.
Future Focus
While the Fed succeeded in "buying time for the system," El-Erian explains, its approach has become increasingly ineffective: "You cannot repress interest rates forever in a modern market system without causing damage, and I think the Fed realizes that. That's why it's likely to engage on the taper."
Bernanke's replacement will have to wrestle with the question of rising interest rates and related matters in the medium term, experts say.
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, began circulating a letter in late July calling on President Barack Obama to appoint Yellen. It was signed by 20 Senate Democrats. More than half of the Democratic women in the U.S. House signed a separate letter requesting Yellen's nomination.
On Sunday, a group of more than 450 economists sent a letter to Obama supporting Yellen in a campaign organized by the Institute for Women's Policy Research. The list included Robert Shiller of Yale, Alan Blinder of Princeton, Lawrence Kotlikoff of Boston University, Alice Rivlin of Brookings, Christina and David Romer of UC Berkeley, and Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia.
A week ago, it was reported that Lael Brainard, under secretary for international affairs at the Treasury Department, is under consideration for a vacancy at the Federal Reserve.

Coast Guard rescues 4 lost at sea
Men rescued west of Guadeloupe Island
MIAMI – The Coast Guard rescued four men who were lost at sea for six days.
The men were rescued west of Guadeloupe Island on Sunday. They had left St. Vincent Island on Jan. 12 on their way to Antigua. They reported that their vessel was disabled on Jan. 14.
Coast Guard crews found then men and gave them a radio, an emergency position indicating radio beacon (ERIRB) and food and water.
A crew aboard the Lamentin then picked up the men.
"Luck on behalf of the survivors along with vigilant watchstanding by the Coast Guard, and our partner agencies assisting in the search, ultimately saved the lives of these four men," said Capt. Drew Pearson, commanding officer at Coast Guard sector San Juan. "This case underscores the importance of having safety equipment such as an emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB) onboard your vessel; the EPIRB helps us respond quickly to mariners in distress."

The start of a new season brings optimism and energy.
The start of a new season brings optimism and energy.
Area high school basketball teams, both boys and girls, held its first official practice on Wednesday.
The West Craven Eagles are hoping to continue where they left off last season. Both of their basketball teams advanced to the 3-A Eastern Regionals before losing to Rocky Mount.
The boys are led by seniors Josh Cuthbertson and Demetres Abrams � both first-team all-area performers a year ago.
Cuthbertson scored nearly 30 points per game and grabbed almost 11 rebounds.
�I think they are going to do what they�ve always done,� said West Craven boys coach Bryan Goehring. �They are going to be leaders on and off the court and let their basketball play speak for themselves.�
West Craven�s boys lost forward Aaron Tate, and a couple key role players.
Goehring said he is using the postseason to build some cohesiveness.
�It�s always exciting to see what you�ve got and what you can put together,� he said. �We have to find some kids to step up.�
West Craven�s girls� squad will be once again led by junior standout Jamie Cherry, who committed to play basketball at North Carolina during her freshman season.
�The sky is the limit for her going into every season,� said West Craven girls� coach David Fernandez. �It�s a luxury that not a lot of teams have, and I don�t want to take it for granted. There is that quiet confidence in her that she knows her ability and what she can do.
�As a coach, I have to make sure everyone else can continue to rise up. I think they are up for the challenge.�
The Eagles return a solid lineup of player that saw significant playing time last season � Kaylee Koeperich, Jasmine Raynor, Nyeesha Roundtree, Nishedra Brown and Lindsey Arthur.
�From all of the returning players, they are positive and upbeat,� Fernandez said. �They�ve been ready to hit the floor since the summer and fall. They are back in the groove and want to play.�
New Bern�s boys team returns the major of its players from last season � Miller Mills, Michael Hughes, Colin Jacobs, Jailen Ganus and Theron Nobles.
Head coach Cliff Dillard only hopes his squad has improved over the offseason.
�We are going to have a lot of guys back, so hopefully they developed and learned a lot,� Dillard said. �We are still going to be a young team, but we have some experience.�
Pamlico boys coach Earl Sadler is ready to change his team�s style of play, a year after winning six games.
�We are going to play a lot faster and I think we are going to be a lot more athletic,� Sadler said. �When the whistle blows, their feet are going to be running fast.�
The Hurricanes have three main guys that are taller than six-foot-three � Jermicus Brown, Terrance Heath, David Resto.
They also have D.J. Lewis and Bradley Bennett.
�We have a strong core back that has been playing varsity basketball together for two years,� Sadler said. �They are ready to get after it.�
Havelock�s boys basketball team had one of its best seasons, winning 13 games. Coach Bill Fryczynski was the Sun Journal Boys� Coach of the Year.
The Rams return key players Zach Bruns, Shondel Granison, Bryant Searcy and Pharoh Cooper.
The girls� won 16 games last season.
The Rams return Natalie Johnson, Shakina Dyer, Kierra Fleming, Ngozi Nix.

Canned risk? Local health scientist still sounds warning
John Peterson Myers, founder of Charlottesville-based Environmental Health Sciences and former Hook FaceTime subject, is at it again–-telling CNN that a chemical used to line metal and plastic food and beverage containers, bisphenol-A, more commonly known as BPA, can increase the chance of diabetes and heart disease. More alarming, says Myers, pregnant women who consume BPA may be putting their developing babies at risk.
"There are some indications it may concentrate in the fetus. It's definitely not something the fetus is protected from," says Myers, who penned an editorial about BPA in the the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2008. "There are several [health concerns about BPA], but for me the most worrisome relate to diabetes and heart disease, triggered in infancy or in the womb."
In 1963, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proclaimed the chemical safe, but new research is prompting health official to take a second look.
Indeed, a January 2010 report from the FDA says "recent studies provide reason for some concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children."
"I think it's pretty serious," Meyers told the Hook in 2008. "The levels [of exposure to BPA] in all Americans are above levels found to cause harm in animals."

Bottom line is that birth defects are AOK with you. As good with you as are beheadings and throwing innocent and defenseless infants in the garbage. "Kill the poor" is not a new political idea. Indeed, it was also popular with the founding father of your policy of death for infants, permanent injury to their mothers, and developmental disabilities for future infants.
"It will be necessary to open special institutions for abortions and doctors must be able to help out there in case there is any question of this being a breach of their professional ethics."
Adolph Hitler.
Your opposition to human rights and support of Nazi medicine may seem like a popular position within the bubble of Charlottesville. Alas, so is suppressing science in favor of your politics of cruelty. But we are advancing on several fronts. Indeed, that killings will no longer be allowed at UVA hospital is pretty much just a matter of time now. Things are happening in Richmond as we speak. But we are not stopping there. This gift of the Planned Parenthood defector and all the data she left with is an astounding leg up for us to take it to the other killers in town now. And the guy who you would least like to be in possesion of it, is well, - I'm laughing now..
As someone who is against birth defects and is interested in advancing any honest medical science regarding same (which makes me a minority in Charlottesville) - I remain really curious about John Myers' research, and I hope The Hook follows up on this.
I am all for defending and fostering the health and well being of developing babies and unborn children. Most people around here are not.
Clearly because Hitler drove a car, anyone who is driving a car right now is supporting Nazism. Hitler used a gun, anyone is using a gun is supporting Nazism. Did I mention he also breathed some air? Living is an example of Nazi fanaticism. Did you know the forefather of missiles is also Hitler? Oh my goodness, the United States military is following Hitler's footsteps!!!
Medical sciences have shown your claims of permanent damages and birth defects to be a complete farce. Yet you continue to prattle on about these absurd claims. Yes, you all about defending the rights of the unborn. You do not care about socioeconomical effects on the family. You do not care about what the child will grow up to be. To ilks like you, if a baby is born, you add 1 to your growing sense of pride and move on to the next target like a hound. Your job is accomplished. The baby is born. Let us move on to the next.
To be frank, I couldn't care less about your "PP" defector. Your arguments are wrong on the medical front. It is wrong on the socioeconomical front, and you only have the religious front left. But sure, keep on imposing your religions onto others, and your demands that every women carry their fetuses to full term, despite the fact you do not own any ovaries or uterus. Amen.
In their magical world where only politics matter, and medical science is completely irrelevant - the looney left partisans of Charlottesville are happy as can be about adding to the number of children with cerebral palsy. It is part and parcel of who and what they are. PBA might be bad for developing babies, but if we're talking about an "unwanted" baby - then his or her biology is instantly transformed due to someone else's opinion of their convenience factor.
Beheadings are "health care." Infants are "parasitic tumors." Babies are "tissue." Forcing a cervix open to rip a dismembered child out of it early keeps it "healthy." (Just get rid of the corpse ASAP)
The sky is green. The grass is blue. Lies are the truth..
Let's review:
"Previous abortion is a significant risk factor for Low Birth Weight and Preterm Birth, and the risk increases with the increasing number of previous abortions. Practitioners should consider previous abortion as a risk factor for LBW and PB."
Virginia Commonwealth University study as printed in the British Medical Journal.
"Induced and spontaneous abortion are associated with similarly increased ORs for preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies, and they vary inversely with the baseline preterm birth rate, explaining some of the variability among studies"
Journal of Reproductive Medicine
" Women with a history of induced abortion were at higher risk of very preterm delivery than those with no such history (OR + 1.5, 95% CI 1.1ââ?¬â??2.0); the risk was even higher for extremely preterm deliveries (<28 weeks)"
British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
"This study shows that a history of induced abortion increases the risk of very preterm birth, particularly extremely preterm deliveries. It appears that both infectious and mechanical mechanisms may be involved." This study showed that women who gave birth between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy were 40% more likely to have had a previous abortion, and mothers who gave birth to extremely preterm infants from 22 to 27 weeks were 70% more likely to have had an abortion.
French Study of 2837 preterm births conducted by pro abortion researcher Caroline Moreau.
"A consent form that simply lists such items as "incompetent cervix" or "infection" as potential complications, but does not inform women of the elevated future risk of a preterm delivery, and that the latter constitutes a risk factor for devastating complications such as cerebral palsy, may not satisfy courts"
Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons
"Previous induced abortions significantly increased the risk of preterm delivery after idiopathic preterm labour, preterm premature rupture of membranes and ante-partum haemorrhage, but not preterm delivery after maternal hypertension. The strength of the association increased with decreasing gestational age at birth."
European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology
Now then..
Maybe if some of these folks amongst the killing lobby in Cahrlottesville volunteered with kids born preterm and some with palsy, and saw what a struggle it is for some of them to do the things the rest of us take for granted (and how hard they try), then maybe, just maybe, they could snap out of it and embrace learning something new that might just save someone's life someday - or prevent someone from needlessly having some developmental disability.
Nah.. They're too far gone.. Fortunately for us all, the young are information savvy, and the lies are being exposed to them like never before.
You are blind, Sean. You refuse to acknowledge that there is no "majority" results linking abortion to birth defects, and more importantly the correlation is nowhere as strong as other established causes such as malnutrition. You refuse to acknowledge that studies only talked about one certain type of abortion technique, the suction. You continue to outrageously inflate and balloon numbers that you have no proofs or evidences for, prattling about millions whereas studies said a thousand. You refuse to consider other much more significant causes of birth defects, such as malnutrition and other substances, and their correlation with abortion in the first place.
More disgustingly, your personal vendetta against UVA seeks to deprive abortion to other women who do not attend UVA, who are poor and if they have the child would condemn him or her to poor education and quality of life. But you do not care about that. You only care to see the child healthy for the first hour of the life, to hell with the rest of his or her life.
You are a sad sad man. To put it more simply, you believe in individual studies, generalize it to the whole category, and ignore all other consequences of abortion.
All rhetorics, no evidences. Typical Sean. "Proven causes of birth defects?" No, Sean, it is not proven.
Conspiracy Hack Sean,
Thank you for accusing the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of the United Kingdom as a political organization. You scored one point in spreading misinformation!
Not reading into the confidence interval that goes down to 1. You score another point in not understanding statistics!
Not realizing the complications in these studies due to multiple health risk factors that contribute to LBW and Preterm Birth more than abortion (read: fat people). You score yet another point in not understanding basic medical sciences!
Last I checked, the vast majority of doctors says cigarettes cause cancer. You score a point in linking non-related subjects together!
Four points in the post. Keep it up, hack.
Thank you Mr. Myers for those links and the helpful information.
"developing babies" "unborn children"
Amazing how many times you see people return to logic, science, and reality - but only as a slip up when not specifically writing about the "right to choose" to behead and discard these babies into the garbage as unwanted, parasitic tumors who can never be allowed to ruin their mother's spring break plans!
And this in a newspaper that supports that wholeheartedly..
Keep up the good work, John. The FDA is a political organization, not a scientific one. Birth defects have been OK with them for a long time.

You know what Sean? STHU. You don't get to make the judgment about what is or isn't right for someone else's body. You scream all the time about government in our lives but are only too happy to endorse it when it pleases you.
Some guy isn't going to make decisions for my daughter, or my granddaughter, or my wife, as to what is best for her and her health.
Babies don't end up in trash cans unless people like you get to make the call.
Unless you want me to pass a law about when and whom you give a kidney to, I suggest you pipe down.
You never cease to impress with your ability to connect any article with your pro-life and anti-UVA agenda, no matter how oblique that connection may be. I too am pro-life, but you regularly embarrass yourself enough on these boards and others that I am ashamed to be on the same side of the issue as you are. Find something better to do with your time, if you really feel so strongly about these issues try to go out and make a difference instead of spending inordinate amounts of time on the comment sections of various Cville newspapers. Are you not a recent graduate of Piedmont? Put that graduate degree to good use, you're in your mid 40's with a fresh Masters, make the most of it.
Sean... I'm not interested in being politically correct. I just want to give couples advice about what they can do to improve the chances that their children will be healthy. You can give them advice too.
I'm just curious... If you were dictator, would abortions be illegal?
This thread is challenging. I hoped it would have focused on opportunities that we have, right at hand, to give children a chance at a full life by eliminating contaminants that interfere with their development. Surely everyone can agree that couples contemplating becoming parents ought to have information making it more likely that their children are healthy by avoiding problems in the first place. Who can argue with that? It's not about pro-life or pro-choice. It's about eliminating contaminants that undermine fetal development. Let's make sure mom's and dad's have information that helps them make healthy choices.
Sean insists on derailing every thread. Just be glad that he hasn't started talking about the Casteen Anti-Cloaking Device and the young man who passed away in a fraternity house.
Anonymous coward Unbe,
Thanks for providing a link to a self professed pro abortion political organization in Britain that lists 8 studies showing the abortion/preterm birth link, and 4 smaller ones that do not. You also did not read too well into those 4, as one of them states quite clearly that
"Preterm birth (OR, 1.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.41) in women with one prior abortion (7.3% versus 6.2%) and LBW (OR, 1.54; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-2.32) in women with two or more prior abortions (7.0% versus 4.7%)"
But then tries to explain their own data away by saying women who have abortions are fat and lead dangerous, unhealthy lives! LOL
There were plenty of studies saying cigarettes didn't cause cancer either. The crush of real science finally defeated the liars.
Pete, you're only interested in giving women information about what causes birth defects if it is politically correct to people in Charlottesville?
Human biology does not conform to human ideology. Like it or not.
From the pro abortion link provided above:
"Abortion remains an essential part of women's health care services."
They make no attempt to hide their contempt for Geneva or the UDHR.
But even they have to admit:
"A recent systematic review published in BJOG by Shah and Zao has suggested that previous termination of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies11. However, a lack of consensus exists in this area. Some studies have found an association12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19, while others have not20,21,22,23."
I took about 2 minutes and found citation # 22 to have actually tried to explain away why their numbers showed more preterm births among post abortive numbers. I just took about 2 more minutes and found that citation # 21 is no longer linked at the oxford journal site (removed?) and here is one of the many studies that cites it, which naturally also shows the link quite clearly:
Pete, this IS, unfortunately about politics, and facts that people simply don't want to look at, or know about. This science is at least as good as that linking smoking to lung cancer. Thousands of doctors, including those in AAPLOG and the AAPS have accepted it. Some states already require warning women about it. States who have actually lowered the abortion rates.
If you REALLY want people to be informed FULLY, then you have to be able to leave ideology behind and embrace the cold, hard reality that there are millions of children right now with needless birth defects due only to their mother's previous abortions. How many more is it worth?
Toward that end, I think John Myers has a plausible idea, and hope his efforts are funded and pursued. I am not the one trying to keep things quiet.
Oh please, stop mutilating the UDHR to your own definition. Nothing in the UDHR talked about abortion. One point to you again for misinformation, and another for grand delusion.
Yes, Shah's studies noted that the suction abortion technique, invented by the Chinese I believe, has correlation with premature birth. Surprise about something? Yes, it is about one specific technique. What did Dr. Shah say? He said that it is important to improve abortion techniques, and the focus should not be increasing unwanted pregnancies.
"Millions of children right now due to previous abortions". Are you aware of how silly you sound? Millions? No, the number is not millions. Calhoun's studies' numbers is barely more than a thousand. Congratulations on grand delusion again.
But of course, you argue next that those one thousand babies could have been born without birth defects. Have you considered how many fetuses were aborted due to recognized birth defects via radiological or test methods?
Sorry Dr. Myers for jacking your news and having to reply to the troll.
Fortunately I have not seen any of Sean's previous debates, so I might be missing something-- but I am wondering when you refer to previous abortions and their impact on LBW, does the data you refer to include abortions that took place due to miscarriage? It is not as if all abortions take place because a mother wants to get rid of her child, a lot of them take place because the mother was unable to miscarry on her own. So, if your data has any merit, and previous abortions impact premature birth later, frankly that is not something that all women have control over (they did not WANT to have an abortion--their baby died or didn't develop properly to live).
Sean, you still don't get it? Shah's data only talked about ***suction abortion technique***. ***Suction abortion technique*** is not the only abortion technique out there. There are other medical and surgical means for abortion. Your generalization of everything to make your number of "multiple of millions" make sense is astounding. Fact check: it does not make sense. There are no "multiple of millions" of children with birth defects due to abortions. I know making up numbers sounds dramatic for you, but sometimes you need facts to back it up.
Why do many women (not all, obviously) get abortions? Because they cannot afford to raise the child. What is an established factor of birth defect? Improper nutrition. We all know that a poor person is less likely to get a complete meal. If some years down, a poor person who had an abortion prior has a birth defect kid, what is the likely cause? Doctors will not look at abortion, but rather at poor nutrition, whereas you would lump that person into the "abortion cause this!!!" category.
Medical science is complicated, and it is clear you do not get it.
Anonymous coward Old,
A infant is not a kidney. A kindey is not an infant. A kidney has ho heart, brain, penis, vagina, or eyes. It does not have it's own DNA either. It is a body part. It is impossible for a grown woman to spontaneously grow a spare head, a prostate, or an extra pair of hands. It is likewise impossible for her to have two different blood types, and generate a completely new, second, double helix of DNA also. These are the back flips in science and logic and ethics that are essential to you trying to explain your support of beheadings and birth defects in direct violation of the UDHR. Lies, and Hitler's policy on the matter, are all you have to go with. Medical science, women's health, and human rights are all 180 degrees opposite of your blood soaked dishonesty.
Anonyomous coward Ah,
I don't believe you. This article was about birth defects, among a few others. And it contained two phrases that remind us all of the dislogic in the killing lobby's philosophy. As soon as we're talking about water bottles, "developing babies" need to be protected from the slightest harm. But the moment we start talking about PROVEN causes of birth defects, the verbiage magically shifts to beheading an "unwanted parasitic tumor" to protect a woman from, uh, something or other..
I am almost to my second degree and have 2 certificates also. I have put my education to work in designing our website and helping Live Action with their new graphics campaign. You can see the image we got for our website over Lila's right shoulder here:
Oh yeah? Let's see some counter literature.
"Birth weight in the abortion cohort was 38·5 g higher than that of the reference cohort after adjustment for calender year at recruitment, couples' occupation, education, age, infant sex, maternal body mass index at recruitment, contraceptive use and gestation age. Previous first trimester induced abortion did not significantly increase the risk of LBW or preterm birth. " - Journal of OB/GYN
"No significant differences could be demonstrated between the study and control groups in the maternal demographics, major pregnancy complications, or perinatal outcome, except for the incidence of smokers which was significantly higher (39.0 versus 14.4%, P < 0.02) in the study group. The number of previous induced abortions did not appear to be related to the incidence of preterm labour, which was 10.2 and 8.5% in the study and control groups respectively. Our findings indicate that previous induced abortion is not a significant cause of preterm labour and delivery in teenage pregnancies." - Human Reproduction
See, scroll down... Oh look, studies that contradict each other. What does this mean? It means your evidence on this issue is even flimsier than your breast cancer - OTC pill one. At least that argument showed a very slight absolute risk (although the authors themselves concede the need for further studies).
You see, why don't you spend your time doing something else, oh I don't know, actually doing something productive for society?
Unb, you can do the math yourself. Take the total number of abortions worldwide the last 50 years, and the increased incidence rate of preterm birth and birth defects as shown in the science I quoted above. It is multiple millions.
Jen, most of the data includes all instances where a cervix is unnaturally ripped open and thus gets compromised, and where a uterus is scarred and infections can develop. You are very correct that not all abortions are elective. They both are counted as induced abortions. But the medically necessary ones that require this procedure are usually late term and account for only a tiny fraction of the total. Statistically insignificant as compared to the numbers of entirely healthy and normal mothers and children who are wounded and killed for no other reason other than someone's short term notion of convenience.
Conversely, the breast cancer link has been shown to be valid in elective abortions - but not it naturally occurring miscarriages - due to the hormonal differences. Breast cells are given fair warning when a pregnancy is ending naturally. In the case of a totally unnatural, invasive, and violent end to the infant's life, breast cells are not afforded the advantage of "the estrogen connection."
You've seen the data. you've read the research results. Your politics makes you blind to them. A few studies suggested there was no correlation between smoking and cancer also. You are desperately trying to come up with anything to refute the overwhelming evidence , backed up by common sense, of what happens to a woman's body during an abortion - and what that does to her future children. Even the one source you found - a very political site that says it's all about abortion - had to admit that the majority of research shows a clear link. The "more study is needed" has always been the rallying cry of everyone whose politics or pocket book is endangered by the META analyses and real world statistics. You didn't do the math, did you?
Most (not all) of the women who get abortions at UVA are loaded and drive SUV's and wear designer clothes, buddy. They do it so they can keep drinking at next week's date formal, and because they have spring break plans. Get a grip on REALITY! Since when do poor girls who are can't afford a good meal go to UVA?!
SOme are coerced, some are abandoned, some just simply are lied to about what they are doing. UVA follows the same kind of policy regarding misinformation that PP does. But a whole lot of others simply don't care.
Not to go off topic but that Lila Rose is smokin hot. I would be happy to crank out a couple of kids with her. Good choice.

In a media minefield littered with the debris of pitiful prognostications, I once more advance with trepidation onto that interstate highway of misinformation and misguided logic.
So hold on.
And if even one of these predictions is right, well, then the world has gone horribly wrong.
▪ Members of Congress, while debating into the night about national financial matters related to the so-called fiscal cliff, decide to order out for pizza. Democrats demand pepperoni with green peppers. Republicans insist on pepperoni with mushrooms. No agreement is reached. As morning dawns, Congress agrees to designate Pop Tarts as the national fruit. In a related story, Little Debbie is subpoenaed to testify before Congress about the food value in oatmeal pies and is encouraged to bring samples.
▪ Wall Street reacts to the congressional pizza stalemate by dumping all shares in Dominos, Pizza Hut and Little Caesars. Pizza and Pepto Bismol futures plummet.
▪ After drawing widespread criticism for advocating the installation of armed guards at schools after the December 2012 school shooting in Connecticut, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre modifies his stance. In a prepared statement LaPierre clarifies that he actually meant to say that each school should be armed with tanks and anti-aircraft guns.
▪ Notre Dame claims the national college football championship with a thrilling 24-22 victory over the University of Alabama. After the game, sports pundits on social media still contend that there is no way the Fighting Irish can beat the Crimson Tide.
▪ Republican leaders in Congress, saying theyre weary of biased media references to the fiscal cliff, ask that reporters find some more balanced term and recommend fiscal speed bump. Fox News immediately complies. MSNBC changes it to fiscal gorge. CNN vows to stay the course and continues to reference the fiscal cliff, despite heavy criticism from Republicans and Democrats.
▪ Wall Street reacts to this new fiscal cliff plea by sacrificing a live bull on Bloomberg News.
▪ In her last official act as governor, Bev Perdue directs the state to find a new place of residence for people in group homes who no longer qualify for financial assistance. She recommends the Legislative building.
▪ In his first official act as governor, Pat McCrory demands that the Atlantic Coast Conference expand once more and accept not only East Carolina but also Charlotte, UNC Asheville and UNC Wilmington into the league. In a related story, N.C. State leaves the ACC for the Mountain West conference.
▪ In an unprecedented battle of rookie quarterbacks, the Washington Redskins and Robert Griffin III defeat the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Luck in the Super Bowl. In a shocking related story, Tim Tebow isnt mentioned once during the telecast.
▪ In one harbinger of a potentially intense race for mayor of Burlington, both incumbent mayor Ronnie Wall and Councilman Bob Ward vow to give up their city salaries and use of the office stapler.
▪ As the national debate over gun control grows, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre advocates stationing surface-to-air missiles at shopping centers.
▪ Duke wins the NCAA basketball championship after John Caliparis entire Kentucky roster bolts for the NBA during the Final Four.
▪ Republican leaders in Congress, saying that fiscal speed bump is still too negative, ask the media to consider using another term. They suggest fiscal curb. Fox News immediately complies. MSNBC elects to use fiscal free fall. CNN declares bankruptcy.
▪ Wall Street reacts to the latest fiscal cliff news by having a hissy fit.
▪ In a mayoral race growing ever more contentious, incumbent Mayor Ronnie Wall and Councilman Bob Ward vow to buy every resident of the city a hot dog at Zacks, Boston Sandwich Shop or Skids.
▪ Searching for answers for how to replenish the countys fund balance, the Alamance County Board of Commissioners decides to sell Saxapahaw to Orange County. In a related story, former UNC basketball great and Saxapahaw resident Tom LaGarde is not mentioned as the player to be named later in the deal.
▪ Notre Dame decides to vacate an agreement to join the Atlantic Coast Conference and declares itself an independent nation. Football coach Brian Kelly is named governor by acclamation. In a related story, Florida State, Clemson and Miami leave the ACC to play football in a Pop Warner league in Waycross, Ga.
▪ As the mayoral race tightens, incumbent Mayor Ronnie Wall and Councilman Bob Ward offer to swim a race across Lake Mackintosh with the loser bowing out of the race prior to the election.
▪ The almost year-long pizza stalemate in Congress, now referred to as the pie in the sky by national media outlets, is almost broken near Thanksgiving when a compromise measure is introduced calling for pepperoni-only. A filibuster by vegetarian members of Congress kills the deal.
▪ Wall Street reacts to this news by sacrificing a live cabbage on Food Network.
In an unrelated story, happy New Year.

Due to The Avengers scaring all other movies back to 2013, Jon M. Chu — director of G.I. Joe: Retaliation — is freed up to make the much-fabled Masters Of The Universe movie (as soon as he's done converting Retaliation into 3D, that is).
Deadline reports that Sony and toymaker Mattel are hot for a He-Man movie, and Chu is in the middle of talks to seal the deal. Yes, this will be live action. The current script was penned by Alex Litvak (The Three Musketeers) and Mike Finch (Exclusively Yours). The script was originally titled Grayskull, but we're assuming the whole thing would be re-written anyways. Someone find a role for actor/Fulbright Scholar Dolph "Showdown in Little Tokyo" Lundgren, and we'll be pleased as punch.

Even with a less experienced roster, the Valley Stream Central High School District rifle team found a way to bring home another state title and set a few records along the way.
For the seventh consecutive season, the team captured the state championship in the air rifle competition at West Point on March 2. However, for the first time in seven years it missed out on the .22 smallbore title after failing to qualify at the county level.
Members of the team say they are quite thrilled to bring home a championship, especially with several newcomers to the varsity squad. Central High School senior Danielle Cuomo and South High senior Sean Wraith were the only returning shooters from last year. New to the team were South senior Melissa Schmidt, North junior Kristen Mantel and Central junior Jurell Wilson, an alternate.
At the state championship, Valley Stream broke the team air rifle record with 1,138 points out of 1,200, topping the previous high mark by two points. It also broke its own Section 8 record by 14 points. During the season, the team set a new Nassau County high score of 763 out of 800 during a match.
Cuomo, a fourth year varsity starter and the team's senior captain, tied the individual state record in air rifle with 291 points. "I was really proud of myself because I worked really hard," she said. "It came down to the last shot."
In the fall, Cuomo will be attending the United States Military Academy at West Point and will shoot for the rifle team there. She said she is looking forward to the increased level of competition and further honing her skills.
Wraith, who will likely attend SUNY Geneseo, says his rifle days are now over but valued his time on the high school team. "I ranked third in the state in air rifle and we won as a team," he said. "I couldn't have asked for a better way to end it."
A state championship in .22 smallbore just wasn't in the cards, Wraith said. The team could not fend off a strong Massapequa team in the county championships in Glen Cove in early February.
Cuomo and Wraith did get to join an all-stars team with the shooters from Massapequa in .22 smallbore at the state championship, however.
Mantel, a newcomer to the varsity team, said he hopes to continue to improve her skills and lead the team to another state title in 2014, if she gets the chance. The rifle team is slated to be cut next year under the district's proposed budget.
Wilson, although he wasn't one of the team's primary shooters, said he did enjoy his experience at the state championship. "I was nervous the whole time going through," he said, adding that his teammates told him to treat the event like just another day of practice at the range.
The team prepares in the rifle range in the basement of Memorial Junior High School.
Coach Blake McCauley said the team exceeded his expectations this year. He noted that making the transition from junior varsity to varsity is significant, and the shooters who did that, Mantel, Schmidt and Wilson, did so seamlessly.
He said the leadership of Cuomo and Sean really made a difference in helping the new members get acclimated to the team. "They really did set the example," he said.
McCauley noted that Valley Stream holds many state and county records, and that the program is well respected among other schools. He said his shooters are good students who display high moral character.
"I'm proud of them as always," he said. "Any state title is a great season."

How deadly is he? He rampages continually against Japan and fights Godzilla on a regular basis, with his laser eyes and flamethrower breath. I'm guessing there's got to be some level of collateral damage going on there. Also, he kills giant monsters, which can come in handy.
Who's responsible? Originally alien monkeys the Simians (who built him as a tool to help them achieve world domination), but humanity keeps finding itself rebuilding Mecha over and over again, apparently forgetful of the fact that he keeps on destroying parts of cities.
Last seen... disappearing to the bottom of the ocean to ensure Godzilla's death in 2003's Tokyo SOS.

Berne International School via Yonhap - EPA
An undated photo made available by the Berne International School believed to show Kim Jong Un (circled) posing with schoolmates during his school days in Switzerland.
Reuters reports:
Former pupils of a school in Switzerland believe the young lad who loved playing basketball and watching action movies and was always "good for a laugh" may have been none other than Kim Jong Un, son and anointed successor of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il.
Harold Cunningham / Getty Images
A general view of the International School of Berne in Guemligen, Berne, Switzerland, on Dec. 19, 2011.
Joao Micaelo, who now works as a chef in a Vienna restaurant, told Reuters he was a good friend of a North Korean teenager with a different name when they both attended the German-speaking Steinhoelzli school in Berne from 1998 to 2000.
But he only learnt of his true identity in mid-2009 from Japanese and South Korean journalists, he said, adding he recognized him in photographs.
"He was a big fan of the Chicago Bulls ... His life was basketball at this time," Micaelo said. "I think 80 percent of our time we were playing basketball."
Local administration education director Ueli Studer told Reuters that a boy known as Pak Un, registered as a child of a North Korean embassy employee, attended the Steinhoelzli school in the Berne suburb of Liebefeld from 1998 until just after starting 9th grade in late 2000.

"The student Pak Un attended the school for two to three years and left abruptly in the middle of a school year," he said, adding that this was not unusual for children of embassy employees.
"Pak Un attended a class for non-German speaking pupils but then quickly moved over to another class. He was described as well-integrated, diligent and ambitious. His hobby was basketball," Studer said.
Studer said he could not confirm nor deny that Pak Un was in fact Kim Jong Un.
Marco Imhof, another former schoolmate, told Swiss television last year that his friend Pak Un spoke a mixture of German and the local Bern dialect of Swiss German.
"He was funny. Always good for a laugh," Imhof said. "I can't believe that I played basketball with him here and now he could rule North Korea." Read the full story.

Kim Jong Un pays his respects to his father Kim Jong Il who is lying in state at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Dec. 20, 2011.

Detroit Tigers left fielder Delmon Young suspended for anti-Semitic outburst
MLB says Young will be suspended for 7 days without pay
NEW YORK – The New York Post was first to report Monday that Detroit Tigers left fielder Delmon Young will be suspended by Major League Baseball for an anti-Semitic outburst he reportedly had in New York City last week.
The MLB confirmed the suspension Monday. Young will be suspended from play for seven days without pay.
The Tigers have put Young on the restricted list.
In trouble with the law
Young was arraigned Friday and posted a $5,000 bond at a brief hearing in Manhattan court. He faces a misdemeanor aggravated harassment charge. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail.
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski said that Young was "extremely remorseful, extremely apologetic" about the events of early Friday morning.
Around 2:30 a.m., Young was standing outside the Hilton New York. Nearby, a group of about four Chicago tourists staying at the hotel were approached by a panhandler wearing a yarmulke and a Star of David around his neck, according to police. Afterward, as the group walked up to the hotel doors, Young started yelling anti-Semitic epithets, police said.
It was not clear whom Young was yelling at, but he got into a tussle with the Chicago group, and a 32-year-old man was tackled and sustained scratches to his elbows, according to police and the criminal complaint.
Both Young and the group went inside the hotel, and at some point, police were called, and Young was arrested, police said. Young was first taken to a hospital because he was believed to be intoxicated, police said.
What really happened?
Defense attorney Daniel J. Ollen said accounts of the fight have varied. He said there was video, which he hasn't seen, that showed someone in the other group of people said something to Young before the scuffle.
"I do know that he was in a skirmish, I do know that. Beyond that, I don't know anything else," Dombrowski said. "If the allegations are true, they concern me."
Dombrowski said that "some of the things that were written are inaccurate," but said he couldn't say what, specifically, was wrong.

About Lima - Travel Guide
Lima was founded on January 18, 1535, by the Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro. Dubbed the "City of Kings", Lima is today a vast metropolis which blends the splendour of its colonial past with the modern era.
Nestling on the banks of the Rimac River and on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, Lima is home to the seat of government, the country's most important institutions, and 1/3 of the country?s population.
With over 7 million people living in this bustling city, businesses and industrial activity are flourishing in the capital city of Peru.
Lima, a metropolis steeped in vice-regal airs, is the perfect starting point for travellers keen to experience Peru, a country filled with myths and traditions that date back through time. This is a nation doted with spectacular landscapes and imposing archaeological remains, which only leaves one to imagine the grandeur of Peru's first inhabitants, the authentic architects of the pre-Hispanic cultures, and the Andean civilization.
