Study: Women look away more from abnormal babies
WASHINGTON (AP) - Puzzling new research suggests women have a harder time than men looking at babies with facial birth defects.
"They had this subliminal motivation to get rid of the faces," said Elman, who questions whether "we're designed by nature to invest all the resources into healthy-looking kids."
The study couldn't explain the gender disparity. Elman noted that previous work has linked child abandonment and neglect to abnormal appearance, and even asked if the finding might challenge the concept of unconditional maternal love.

In the past six years, nearly one-fourth of every dime raised by Baucus and his political-action committee has come from groups and individuals associated with drug companies, insurers, hospitals, medical-supply firms, health-service companies and other health professionals.”

A short message on the back of Maj. Eric Montalvo’s business card reads: "My lawyer has told me not to talk to anyone about my case, not to answer any questions and not to reply to any accusations." The message is intended for those who try to approach his clients. Montalvo has one of the most difficult jobs anywhere. As a soldier and prosecutor for the US military, he is tasked with defending those suspected by the US government of committing acts of terrorism in Afghanistan and around the world. Some of his clients have not even been charged.
Now, Montalvo is fighting in Afghanistan’s Supreme Court to represent an Afghan national in a legal case that could have far-reaching implications for the US government’s attempts to relocate Guantanamo Bay prisoners to third countries, or detain them indefinitely in the United States.

David Derbes : If Team Obama fails to get a public option, this president (who I like, respect and support) is going to be a one termer.
~ David Derbes : I like Obama. I want him to succeed. I think he's going to try to get a public option. But if he doesn't?
Seventy-plus percent of this country want a public option. I could imagine Bernie Sanders or Barney Frank or even Nancy Pelosi starting a third party based on one idea: the public option.
Seventy percent is an effin' landslide.
From earlier:
The problem is, he [Obama] goes squishy when it's time to deal, and the Thugs game him on it ruthlessly. He gave up far too much on the stimulus, and didn't get one, not one Thug vote.
And we know that he wont get a single Thug vote, not one, on ANY health care plan. If he believes in the public option, he'd better stop acting like he's going to get Thug support - he won't.

Your timing is a bit off.

After the meeting he said, golly gee folks, I guess I was wrong to take it off the table, but too late now. kthxbye.

At the heart of his petition is the case of Mohammed Jawad, a minor when he was arrested in December 2002 for his alleged involvement in a hand grenade attack on a US military vehicle. Jawad was reportedly 12 at the time he was sent to Guantanamo. While Jawad’s exact age is difficult to determine because of an absence of official records, military prosecutors have accepted that he was a juvenile at the beginning of his incarceration.
Montalvo’s petition argues that Jawad was not involved in the attack and that his confession was obtained under torture and duress, perpetrated both by Afghan police officers who initially arrested him and by interrogators at US detention facilities at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay, where he is still held.
In a boon to the defense, Montalvo’s plea to suppress Jawad’s statements under interrogation has been accepted by a US military judge in the Guantanamo Military Commission. Moreover, in September 2008, Lt. Col. Darryl Vandeveld, the lead prosecutor in the case against Jawad, left the commission because, he said, he could not ethically continue to prosecute the case. "I personally do not believe there is any lawful basis for continuing to detain Mr. Jawad," Vandeveld wrote in his resignation letter. "There is no reliable evidence of any voluntary involvement with any terrorist group."
"I don't know why the Dems never learn this lesson."

Iran’s ethnic Azeri community numbers roughly 15-20 million, or almost a quarter of the country’s overall population. Most Azeris harbor deep feelings of resentment toward Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s administration in Tehran, and they are believed to have voted strongly for the aggrieved presidential challenger, Mir Hussein Mousavi, who is himself an Azeri from Tabriz. Even so, most Azeris remain unwilling to take an active part in the continuing battle for control of Iran’s social and economic agenda.
Mousavi’s lackluster record on promoting civil rights for minority groups in Iran is the main reason why many Azeris are currently sitting on the sidelines. Iranian Azeris see little to gain from getting involved. Regardless of the outcome of the power struggle in Tehran and Qom, few Azeris expect that their quality of life will improve significantly.
Yashar Hakkakpour, spokesperson for the Association for the Defense of Azerbaijani Political Prisoners in Iran, an unofficial organization based in Tabriz, explains that Azeri activists see no advantage to be gained from pushing for Mousavi, or opposing Ahmadinejad.

When Nursultan Nazarbayev took charge of Soviet Kazakhstan 20 years ago, he could scarcely have imagined that two years later he would be running his own country, and less that two decades later he would still be at the helm of an energy-rich state.
Nazarbayev’s rule is far from over, but the 20th anniversary of his ascendancy to power as first secretary of Kazakhstan’s Communist Party on June 22 gives pause for thought about his record. To many compatriots he is a national hero, the father of the nation who forged a coherent state out of disparate ethnic groups and an economic success story out of a land that had independence foisted on it as the Soviet Union collapsed. To others he is an autocrat who has overseen the transition to a get-rich-quick kleptocracy.

Read it and weep, Governor Sanford. It's in South Carolina's Code of Laws, Title 16--Crimes and Offenses, Chapter 15 "Offenses Against Morality and Decency"
SECTION 16-15-60. Adultery or fornication.
Any man or woman who shall be guilty of the crime of adultery or fornication shall be liable to indictment and, on conviction, shall be severally punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisonment for not less than six months nor more than one year or by both fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court.
SECTION 16-15-70. "Adultery" defined.
"Adultery" is the living together and carnal intercourse with each other or habitual carnal intercourse with each other without living together of a man and woman when either is lawfully married to some other person.
Well, well, well. Governor Mark Sanford, a publicly admitted adulterer. Six months to a year in prison? Might be plenty of that "alone time" you seem to need to refresh yourself.

Mark Sanford is against gay marriage and defines marriage as one man and one woman. He is also against letting gay couple adopt children."

Now seriously, this has unfolded very strangely. From the moment he left his office, this story was pumped into the liberal media. From the beginning I asked myself, why is this a story? Ask yourself why?
I am guessing that a democratic operation is underway on any Republican possible nominee for 2012. I suggest that people are being followed, that federal employees are illegally accessing online passport and other information, and informers are in place. I have no evidence, this is pure speculation.
Now that Pellicano's plumbers are out of business, does anyone know which company has taken over democratic party investigations of opponents? We are dealing with the Chicago Machine, which has moved lock, stock and barrel to Washington, DC, and now has unlimited resources to dig up dirt. Don't put anything past them. The woman may have even been a democratic party plant. If I can think this up, they can too, and because they are unbounded by any moral or legal restrictions, they will do anything that can be imagined.

We are dealing with the Chicago Machine, which has moved lock, stock and barrel to Washington, DC, and now has unlimited resources to dig up dirt. Don't put anything past them. The woman may have even been a democratic party plant. If I can think this up, they can too, and because they are unbounded by any moral or legal restrictions, they will do anything that can be imagined.

Mark Sanford ain't shit. Talk to me when the Argentinian girlfriend gives birth to his child while he's running for president and his wife is dying of cancer.
If you want to have an affair, and you're a Republican in office--hell, even if you're a Democrat, maybe you should divorce your wife/husband before you start the affair.
mer
Indeed. Except, philandering pols don't have even that small amount of integrity. Plus, they know that if they divorce, they won't get reelected. So they all just cheat and hope no one finds out. Going awol to screw a dear dear friend in Argentina is beyond typical philandering politician stupidity, though.

~ I am guessing that a democratic operation is underway on any Republican possible nominee for 2012. I suggest that people are being followed, that federal employees are illegally accessing online passport and other information, and informers are in place. I have no evidence, this is pure speculation.
Pure crazy - Wasn't Dems who told on him when he ran off for a week. No Dem has so much as touched this guy.
Nope - nothing but Thug lies and hypocrisy here.

He demonstrated his commitment to reconciling with his wife by ditching the family on Father's Day weekend and shacking up for a week with Buenos Aires Barbie.
Makes total sense.
(My speculation is he was trying to goad her into filing for divorce by doing something so outrageously disrespectful.)

"They had this subliminal motivation to get rid of the faces," said Elman, who questions whether "we're designed by nature to invest all the resources into healthy-looking kids."
These things piss me off so much. The study, if it shows anything at (unlikely), shows that female teenage college freshman at Whatever Bumfuck U conducted the study, are more likely to look away than their male, "cool! Deformities!" counterparts.
Agreed, Moe.
What is it with this trend where research design =
a) observe individual or group behavior, then
b) someone other than individual(s) in "a)"
interpret/explain/make attributions about "why"
Anyone else see the problem with that?
If "science" is that cynical about the accuracy or truthfulness of self-report, then why is the scientist's explanation any better? What's wrong with using qualitative research? Oh right, that takes more time and effort...
This defective faces study is junk science, apparently anchored in eugenics.
