EAST HAVEN, Conn. (AP) ? Four police officers, including the president of the local police union, were arrested Tuesday by the FBI on charges that they assaulted illegal immigrants and covered up abuses in a New Haven suburb where a federal investigation found life was made miserable for Hispanics.

The East Haven officers assaulted individuals while they were handcuffed, unlawfully searched Latino businesses, and harassed and intimidated individuals, including advocates, witnesses and other officers who tried to investigate or report misconduct or abuse the officers committed, according to the federal indictment.

Federal authorities began investigating police in 2009 in East Haven, where the federal probe last month documented a pattern of abuse. The Hispanic population had doubled in the past decade to more than 10 percent of the seaside city's 28,000 people, but Latino business owners said rough treatment by police drove away many newcomers from Mexico and Ecuador.

The arrests were welcomed by Hispanic business owners in East Haven, including Luis Rodriguez, an immigrant from Ecuador who had complained of harassment by police at his Los Amigos Grocery store.

"They should have to pay, not with many years, but enough to make an example of them. They should not abuse their power," Rodriguez said. "All I ever wanted was to be left in peace."

Officers Dennis Spaulding, David Cari and Jason Zullo and Sgt. John Miller, president of the police union, are charged with conspiracy, deprivation of rights and obstruction of justice.

Federal officials say the officers denied Latino residents and their advocates the right to be free of unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to not be arrested and detained without probable cause and the right to not be arrested on false and misleading evidence.

"In simple terms, these defendants behaved like bullies with badges," said Janice Fedarcyk, assistant director of the New York office of the FBI.

Zullo allegedly described taking joy in singling out Latinos, telling Spaulding in a 2008 exchange quoted by the indictment that he liked harassing drivers and referred to "persons who have drifted to this country on rafts made of chicken wings and are now residing" in East Haven.

Miller repeatedly slapped a man handcuffed in his car, while Spaulding threw a man to the ground and repeatedly kicked him while he was handcuffed, according to the indictment. Mayor Joseph Maturo said the four men were arrested around 6 a.m. Tuesday at their homes and at the police department.

Donald Cretella, Miller's lawyer, said his client has been honored with awards and risked his life in shootouts.

"John Miller is a hero in East Haven," he said. "He's decorated. He's a wonderful family man. Hopefully, we'll clear his name."

Frank Riccio Jr., Spaulding's attorney, said his client is an exemplary police officer.

"At this early stage it's our position Mr. Spaulding is not guilty of the charges. He's been nothing but an exemplary police officer. That's why this is shocking."

It wasn't immediately clear who was representing Cari and Zullo.

The indictment says Miller reported to a police department leader described as a co-conspirator who blocked efforts by the police commission to investigate Miller's misconduct. That refers to Chief Leonard Gallo, according to his attorney, Jon Einhorn, who denied that Gallo blocked the investigation.

"It's unfair that he is mentioned in this regard when he isn't even indicted," Einhorn said.

The indictment also accuses unnamed union leaders of intimidation and interference to protect the officers, including a depiction of a rat posted on a bulletin board and a cartoon saying "You know what we do with snitches?" in a police locker room.

The U.S. attorney for Connecticut, David Fein, said the investigation is still looking into other incidents and individuals. Officials said no more arrests were expected Tuesday.

Maturo, a Republican who took office Nov. 19, recently reinstated Gallo as police chief. Gallo had been on paid administrative leave since federal authorities began investigating in 2010. Maturo said he backs the police.

"I stand behind the police department," he said. "We have a great police department."

The U.S. Department of Justice, which has pledged to reach out to the police department to work on reforms, said last month that the department engaged in a pattern of discrimination against Latino residents. Investigators said their probe was complicated by efforts to interfere with witnesses and by police silence.

Nearly half or a third of the drivers pulled over by certain officers were Latino, and the number of Latinos pulled over by certain squads was "extraordinarily high," said Roy Austin Jr., deputy assistant attorney general for the civil rights division. Latinos who were stopped for minor violations were subjected to harsher punishments, such as arrest or vehicle towing, than were non-Latinos.

The East Haven Police Department of some 50 officers has come under scrutiny previously for civil rights issues. A federal jury ruled in 2003 that a white officer used excessive force and violated the rights of a black man he fatally shot after a chase.

Some officers involved in that case kept their jobs and were promoted, and there was no evidence that anyone received training to prevent similar confrontations in the future, Austin said.

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:00:17 -0800 Iran Targets Barbie, Shutters Toy Stores For Selling The Dolls http://omevecyg.posterous.com/iran-targets-barbie-shutters-toy-stores-for-s http://omevecyg.posterous.com/iran-targets-barbie-shutters-toy-stores-for-s

When American businesswoman Ruth Handler first launched Barbie back in 1959, she probably didn't expect the dolls to become as controversial as they are popular.

In an apparent effort to shut out Western culture, Iranian authorities have closed toy stores in Tehran for selling Barbie dolls, according to Associated Press.

The dolls first attracted criticism from Iran's strict religious leaders back in 1996, but have been openly on display in toy stores since then, notes Slate.

But earlier this week the country's "morality police" began instructing shop owners to refrain from selling the dolls.

Islam For Today writes that the country does have Islamic alternatives to Barbie, known as Sara and Dara, but the dolls are reportedly not as popular as their blonde counterparts.

Iran is not the only country in the Middle East to outlaw Barbie. In 2003, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, Saudi Arabia banned the dolls after declaring them a threat to Islam due to their revealing clothes.

Nevertheless, according to TIME, two-thirds of Barbie sales come from 150 different foreign markets.

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 02:56:18 -0800 Pro-Gbagbo rally attacked, many injured (AP) http://omevecyg.posterous.com/pro-gbagbo-rally-attacked-many-injured-ap http://omevecyg.posterous.com/pro-gbagbo-rally-attacked-many-injured-ap

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast ? Numerous supporters of ex-President Laurent Gbagbo were injured when their rally was attacked on Saturday, according to the United Nations.

A statement issued by the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Ivory Coast said that "many were injured" during the meeting of the Ivorian Popular Front party, known by its French acronym of FPI.

For 10 years, the Gbagbo-led FPI dominated the political scene in this former French colony in West Africa. The party has been reduced to a shell of its former self ever since Gbagbo was forced from power last April.

Reached by telephone, FPI spokesman Augustin Guehoun said that U.N. peacekeepers provided security for the rally, but armed intruders were able to gain access to the crowd, which had come to express support for Gbagbo.

"We had all the authorization (required to hold a rally) but we were aggressed. They started throwing stones then they began shooting," Guehoun said.

Gbagbo was held under house arrest for seven months after being toppled by Alassane Ouattara's forces. He was transferred to The Hague in November, where he is now awaiting trial for crimes against humanity committed by his army in the standoff that followed the 2011 election.

Although Gbagbo lost that election, he refused to cede power, forcing Ouattara to enlist the help of a rebel army which removed the former leader with the help of U.N. airstrikes.

Human rights groups say that abuses have been committed by both sides, and now that Gbagbo has been removed, the worst atrocities are being committed by Ouattara's armed forces, who are accused of massacres, rapes and summary executions of Gbagbo supporters.

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:56:18 -0800 US Internet piracy case brings New Zealand arrests (AP) http://omevecyg.posterous.com/us-internet-piracy-case-brings-new-zealand-ar http://omevecyg.posterous.com/us-internet-piracy-case-brings-new-zealand-ar

WELLINGTON, New Zealand ? With 150 million registered users, about 50 million hits daily and endorsements from music superstars, Megaupload.com was among the world's biggest file-sharing sites. Big enough, according to a U.S. indictment, that it earned founder Kim Dotcom $42 million last year alone.

The movie industry howled that the site was making money off pirated material. Though the company is based in Hong Kong and Dotcom was living in New Zealand, some of the alleged pirated content was hosted on leased servers in Virginia, and that was enough for U.S. prosecutors to act.

The site was shut down Thursday, and Dotcom and three Megaupload employees were arrested in New Zealand on U.S. accusations that they facilitated millions of illegal downloads of films, music and other content, costing copyright holders at least $500 million in lost revenue.

New Zealand Police also seized guns, artwork, more than $8 million in cash and luxury cars valued at nearly $5 million after serving 10 search warrants at several businesses and homes around the city of Auckland.

News of the shutdown seemed to bring retaliation from hackers who claimed credit for attacking the Justice Department's website. Federal officials confirmed it was down for hours Thursday evening and that the disruption was being "treated as a malicious act."

A loose affiliation of hackers known as "Anonymous" claimed credit for the attack. Also hacked was the site for the Motion Picture Association of America.

On Friday, New Zealand's Fairfax Media reported that the four defendants stood together in an Auckland courtroom in the first step of extradition proceedings that could last a year or more.

Dotcom's lawyer raised objections to a media request to take photographs and video, but then Dotcom spoke out from the dock, saying he didn't mind photos or video "because we have nothing to hide." The judge granted the media access, and ruled that the four would remain in custody until a second hearing Monday.

Dotcom, Megaupload's former CEO and current chief innovation officer, is a resident of Hong Kong and New Zealand and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany who had his name legally changed. The 37-year-old was previously known as Kim Schmitz and Kim Tim Jim Vestor.

Two other German citizens and one Dutch citizen also were arrested and three other defendants ? another German, a Slovakian and an Estonian ? remain at large.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, which defends free speech and digital rights online, said in a statement that the arrests set "a terrifying precedent. If the United States can seize a Dutch citizen in New Zealand over a copyright claim, what is next?"

The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to make it easier for authorities to go after sites with pirated material, especially those with overseas headquarters and servers.

Before Megaupload was taken down, the company posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were "grotesquely overblown."

"The fact is that the vast majority of Mega's Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch," the statement said.

Several sister sites were also shut down, including one dedicated to sharing pornography files.

The $8 million in cash seized had been invested in various New Zealand financial institutions, and has been placed in a trust pending the outcome of the cases.

Police spokesman Grant Ogilvie said the seized cars include a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe worth more than $400,000. Two short-barreled shotguns and a number of valuable artworks were also confiscated, he added.

According to the indictment, Megaupload was estimated at one point to be the 13th most frequently visited website on the Internet. Current estimates by companies that monitor Web traffic place it in the top 100.

Megaupload is considered a "cyberlocker," in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.

The website allowed users to download some content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.

Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.

The company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO. He was not named in the indictment and declined to comment through a representative.

The five-count indictment, which alleges copyright infringement as well as conspiracy to commit money laundering and racketeering, described a site designed specifically to reward users who uploaded pirated content for sharing, and turned a blind eye to requests from copyright holders to remove copyright-protected files.

For instance, users received cash bonuses if they uploaded content popular enough to generate massive numbers of downloads, according to the indictment. Such content was almost always copyright protected, the indictment said.

The Justice Department said it was illegal for anyone to download pirated content, but their investigation focused on the leaders of the company, not end users who may have downloaded a few movies for personal viewing.

A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined to comment Thursday. Efforts to reach an attorney representing Dotcom were unsuccessful.

Although Megaupload is based in Hong Kong, the size of its operation in the southern Chinese city was unclear. The administrative contact listed in its domain registration, Bonnie Lam, did not respond immediately for a request for comment sent to a fax number and email address listed.

The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Va. Prosecutors there have pursued multiple piracy investigations.

The Justice Department also was investigating the "significant increase in activity" that disrupted its website. It said in a statement that it was working to "investigate the origins of this activity, which is being treated as a malicious act until we can fully identify the root cause."

The site appeared to be working again late Thursday. A spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America said in an emailed statement that the group's site also had been hacked, but it too appeared to be working later in the evening.

"The motion picture and television industry has always been a strong supporter of free speech," the spokesman said. "We strongly condemn any attempts to silence any groups or individuals."

Sun, 22 Jan 2012 00:56:18 -0800 Giants' Manning, 49ers' Smith overcome scrutiny http://omevecyg.posterous.com/giants-manning-49ers-smith-overcome-scrutiny http://omevecyg.posterous.com/giants-manning-49ers-smith-overcome-scrutiny

(AP) ? The Giants' Eli Manning has been forced to escape the shadow of superstar big brother, Peyton. San Francisco's Alex Smith? He only has a pair of Hall of Famers in Joe Montana and Steve Young hanging over him in 49ers lore.

Two No. 1 pick quarterbacks a draft apart, Manning and Smith meet Sunday with a shot at the Super Bowl after each has faced immense scrutiny over the years while playing on opposite coasts.

Manning made his mark by winning the 2008 Super Bowl. Smith took a significant step by leading last week's thrilling, last-second 36-32 victory over Drew Brees and the favored Saints.

Early on, there were the questions about whether Manning would ever be an elite NFL quarterback like the other big-time QBs in the family.

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:14:18 -0800 US, Europe trying to pressure Iran into nuke talks http://omevecyg.posterous.com/us-europe-trying-to-pressure-iran-into-nuke-t http://omevecyg.posterous.com/us-europe-trying-to-pressure-iran-into-nuke-t

(AP) ? The United States and its European allies joined Friday in saying they would try to pressure Iran back into nuclear negotiations despite the Islamic republic's failure after three months to answer the nations' terms for talks.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. and its partners were making it clear to Tehran that it was headed down a "dangerous path" with its pursuit of nuclear weapons and threats to close off the Strait of Hormuz ? through which much of the world's fuel travels to reach international markets.

"Iran does have a choice to make," Clinton told reporters in Washington after meeting German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.

"It can come back to the table ... and address the nuclear program concerns that the international community rightly has, or face increasing pressure and isolation," she said. "The country can be reintegrated into the global community, able to share in the benefits, when their government definitely turns away from pursuing nuclear weapons."

Clinton spoke after the European Union released a letter it sent to Iran in October, imploring renewed talks to answer the international concerns about Iran's uranium enrichment activity. The West fears it is aimed at developing nuclear weapons, but Tehran insists the work is for energy and research purposes.

EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said Friday the international community remained open to talks with Iran, even as a blocwide embargo on Iranian oil appeared set for approval Monday. She said world powers have shown a "continued willingness to engage" Iran, but have received no reply to their Oct. 21 offer of more talks.

The letter she sent to Saeed Jalili, Iran's top nuclear negotiator, states the overall goal of a negotiated solution that "restores international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program."

The pressure coincided with work in European capitals ahead of the likely approval Monday in Brussels of new restrictions on Iranian oil. The embargo would immediately prohibit the signing of any new oil contracts with Iran, diplomats said, though the details of the embargo will be left for later.

The details would include the date when existing contracts to buy Iranian oil would no longer be valid. Britain, Germany and France are eager for a strong and quickly implemented embargo on Iranian oil, but financially strapped Greece benefits from low prices it pays for Iranian fuel. It wants assurances that the embargo will not become a financial burden it cannot bear.

Meanwhile, French President Nicolas Sarkozy urged stronger, more decisive sanctions against Iran, including a continentwide freeze on international assets of Iran's central bank. In an annual speech on French diplomacy Friday, Sarkozy accused Iran of lying and denounced what he called its "senseless race for a nuclear bomb."

"Time is running out," he said. "Everything must be done to avoid" international military intervention.

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 08:46:19 -0800 Occupy protesters demonstrate their disillusionment with Washington http://omevecyg.posterous.com/occupy-protesters-demonstrate-their-disillusi http://omevecyg.posterous.com/occupy-protesters-demonstrate-their-disillusi

Miranda Leitsinger/msnbc.com

Protesters surge onto the steps of the Supreme Court late Tuesday as part of their "Occupy Congress" day of action in the nation's capital.

By Miranda Leitsinger, msnbc.com

?

?

Protesters stormed onto the steps of the Supreme Court to decry corporate personhood, left handwritten messages on cards on a White House fence for the president?and met with their lawmakers -- wrapping up a day of action primarily focused on American's disillusion with the legislative branch.

On the West Lawn in front of Congress on Tuesday, they held group talks on national protest planning and networking among Occupy outfits, a general assembly, and the Occupy Wall Street Think Tank led a discussion on the question, "What does democracy look like?"

The numbers were lower than the expected thousands, but more people streamed in toward day's end, when a march -- accompanied by chanting of slogans and the beating of drums and shaking of tambourines -- left from the Capitol for the high court and the White House, spinning through the D.C. streets with police clearing the way for what appeared to be between 1,000 and 2,000 demonstrators.

One of the disappointing aspects was the limited presence of congressional representatives, said Mario Lozada, a 25-year-old immigration lawyer from Philadelphia.?

"We came here really for that dialogue ... to speak with our representatives, to make our presence known," he said. "We all have that same sentiment that our elected officials are not representing us" and that it was a corrupt system with corporate money "drowning out our voices."

The rain and timing on a work day may have affected turnout, but they were still pleased with the numbers, he added.

Christopher Seerden, 30, who traveled by train from Santa Cruz and wore a tent in solidarity with Occupy Melbourne, said he was there?to let the government know that they were done with corporate greed.

"My family lost their dream home due to the banks screwing them over. So I'm here helping my family in solidarity," he said, as protesters chanted, "Whose streets, our streets."?"I wish there were a million people here but this'll work ... I think it's still a good message to bring out on the first day of Congress in session."

PhotoBlog, December 6:?Demonstrators from 46 states 'Take Back the Capitol'

The protesters then surged onto the court steps, filling them, waving flags and signs, chanting, "'the people united will never be defeated," and "money is not speech" in reference to the?landmark Supreme Court decision affirming corporate personhood and money as speech, known as Citizens United, and which marks its second anniversary on Saturday.

As they cascaded down Constitution Avenue, protesters cheered as they passed by a building bearing large text of the first amendment, with some stopping to read it out loud. Reflecting on her time in D.C.,?Kelsey James, an 18-year-old protester from Reno, said it had been an intense experience.?

"I've been moved deeply by seeing everybody unite and I thought that coming to our nation's capital to speak was very important," said?James, noting that she had a positive experience with a Florida lawmaker she met Tuesday who had encouraged her to participate in the political process.?

Near the end of the route was the White House, where protesters crafted messages for Obama on multi-colored heart-shaped cards and attached them to the fence with string. Other protesters formed a circle and meditated, while yet others chanted, "N-D-A-A, we say no way," referring to the controversial legislation that allows for?the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens accused of being terrorists.

Preparing for the six-hour bus trip back to Greensboro, N.C., 65-year-old Cynthia Maddox, an accountant for small business and handles income taxes, said the day had given her hope.

"It's just that there's this whole generation that's come up and taken things into their own hands," she said, as protesters chanted, "We want progress, Occupy Congress."

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:52:17 -0800 Del. governor spares murderer from execution http://omevecyg.posterous.com/del-governor-spares-murderer-from-execution http://omevecyg.posterous.com/del-governor-spares-murderer-from-execution

Delaware Gov. Jack Markell has decided to spare the life of a man who was facing execution this week for the 1990 murder of his girlfriend.

Robert Gattis was scheduled to die by lethal injection Friday for killing Shirley Slay.

But Markell has decided to accept a recommendation from the state Board of Pardons that he commute Gattis' death sentence to life in prison without parole.

Markell says the decision to grant clemency to Gattis is among the most difficult he has made as a public official, and that he realizes it may cause pain to Slay's family.

But the governor also said he gives great weight to the decision by the pardons board, which reviewed Gattis' case thoroughly and voted 4 to 1 for commutation.

According to delawareonline.com, it is the first time in modern memory that a Delaware governor has commuted a death sentence.

Markell said Gattis must surrender all future legal appeals and spend the rest of his natural life in prison, as a condition of his clemency.

Gattis' plea for clemency was based on new evidence about the physical and sexual abuse he suffered as a youth. He said he has become a new person in prison.

"I'm not the Robert Gattis that killed Shirley Slay. That is not who I am now. I am the Robert Gattis who has two sons I love and respect," he said at his parole hearing last week.

That was the message Monday, Jan. 16, 2012, as a brief boomlet of support for the idea of providing Queen Elizabeth II with a new royal yacht to mark her Diamond Jubilee was quickly deflated by Prime Minister David Cameron.

(AP) ? What do you get for a monarch who has almost everything? Not, apparently, a new yacht, at least not one paid for with taxpayer funds.

That was the message Monday as a brief boomlet of support for the idea of providing Queen Elizabeth II with a new royal yacht to mark her Diamond Jubilee was quickly deflated by Prime Minister David Cameron.

It is estimated that a new yacht would cost at least 60 million pounds ($92 million).

Cameron's spokesman Steve Field said it would not be appropriate for public funds to be spent on a new yacht during times of economic hardship. But he said the government would be supportive of private efforts to provide a new ship for the queen.

He acknowledged that ministers have been approached over plans to raise donations for a privately funded vessel and that the government "would react favorably" to a firm plan.

"There are a number of proposals out there for a privately financed yacht," Field said.

Cameron has been contacted over the proposals and Britain's government could potentially play a role in facilitating the construction of a new royal flagship ? even though no taxpayer money would be used.

"I don't think anyone is suggesting public money should be used for this," Field told reporters Monday. "There is a difficult economic situation, there are scarce public resources, therefore we don't think it would be an appropriate use of public money."

The idea of a new royal yacht was proposed by Education Secretary Michael Gove, who suggested in a leaked letter that the queen should receive a replacement for the Royal Yacht Britannia, which was decommissioned in 1997 after 44 years as a floating royal residence known to have been cherished by the queen.

He said the jubilee offers a "tremendous opportunity to recognize in a very fitting way the queen's highly significant contribution to the life of the nation and the Commonwealth."

Royal watchers who have followed the queen's long career remember that one of the very few times she has shown emotion in public was when she shed a tear at the decommissioning of the Britannia, which is now berthed in Edinburgh as a tourist display.

The ship sprang a leak earlier in January, requiring repair work.

It is not clear if the queen even wants a new yacht. She is in her mid-80s and her husband, Prince Philip, is 90 and was recently found to have heart disease.

Buckingham Palace officials said they would not be commenting on the matter.

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:36:19 -0800 Fewer Babies Die, but Many Suffer Long-Term Health Problems http://omevecyg.posterous.com/fewer-babies-die-but-many-suffer-long-term-he http://omevecyg.posterous.com/fewer-babies-die-but-many-suffer-long-term-he premature infant

Infant mortality is at its lowest rate ever. Now fewer than three percent of babies worldwide die within the first five weeks of life, which is surely cause for celebration.

Many of the infants who have been saved, however, did not enter this world easily. A new analysis published online Thursday in The Lancet found that babies who were pre-term, delivered to mothers with infectious diseases, or had other complications had a 39 percent chance of having at least one type of cognitive or physical impairment.

The new analysis examined data from 153 previous studies to find data on 22,161 babies who had survived a complicated pregnancy or birth. Of the 39 percent of those children who suffered some impairment from the birthing process, 59 percent ended up with learning difficulties or developmental delays and 21 percent had cerebral palsy. ?These impairments cause a major socioeconomic burden, especially in resource-poor countries,? the researchers note.

The problem isn?t getting better. In the past four and a half decades, the frequency of long-term impairments for newborns who survive complications has remained about the same, according to the research team, which was led by Michael Mwaniki of Kenya Medical Research Institute?s Center for Geographic Medicine Research. The scientists suggest that improved medical technology has ?increased survival in neonates who would have otherwise died,? which cancels out advances in treatment for less severe cases.

Even in wealthy countries where health care is widely available, complications during pregnancy increase the odds a child will have a chronic disease later in life. In middle- and lower-income countries, impairment of a child can mean ?major burdens on families and societies, and shortened life expectancy,? the authors write.

But many of the tools, such as antenatal steroids, for improving the outlook for these children already exist. ?Complications of preterm birth can be reduced by cost-effective interventions,? as can those from birthing trauma, according to the authors. Additional long-term support and rehabilitation can also help.

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 14:42:22 -0800 White House criticizes online piracy legislation (Reuters) http://omevecyg.posterous.com/white-house-criticizes-online-piracy-legislat http://omevecyg.posterous.com/white-house-criticizes-online-piracy-legislat

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? White House officials raised concerns on Saturday about online piracy legislation in the works in Congress that top technology companies have decried as heavy-handed, saying a lighter touch would be better.

In a statement, three advisers to President Barack Obama said they believed the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and other bills could make businesses on the Internet vulnerable to litigation and harm legal activity and free speech.

"Any effort to combat online piracy must guard against the risk of online censorship of lawful activity and must not inhibit innovation by our dynamic businesses large and small," said the officials, including White House cyber-security czar Howard Schmidt.

The House of Representatives' SOPA bill aims to crack down on foreign websites selling pirated U.S. movies, music or other counterfeit goods by allowing private parties to target the websites' advertisers and payment providers.

It has put Internet giants, consumer groups and free speech advocates in opposition to U.S. copyright industries, including Hollywood studios and music labels, that have long argued for tougher protection.

The search engine Google Inc told Congress in November the bill went too far and could depress investment. Along with leading online firms Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter and eBay, it ran advertisements in major newspapers urging lawmakers to rethink their approach.

Proponents of the legislation argue that current U.S. laws leave few options for copyright holders whose products end up on foreign websites.

Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican who chairs the House judiciary committee, said the bill went after those who steal U.S. technology and products and distribute them illegally.

"It is not censorship to enforce the law against foreign thieves," Smith said on Saturday, estimating that intellectual property industries provide 19 million high-paying U.S. jobs and account for more than 60 percent of American exports.

"Congress cannot stand by and do nothing while some of America's most profitable and productive industries are under attack," he said in a statement responding to the White House.

Smith, in an interview with Reuters on Thursday, vowed to press ahead with the bill.

'WORST OFFENDERS'

Under the SOPA bill, if a judge agrees that websites offer material that violates U.S. copyright laws, Internet service providers could be required to block access to foreign sites and U.S. online advertising networks could be required to stop ads and search engines barred from directly linking to them.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce said on Saturday it strongly supported the House legislation as well as the "Protect IP Act" in the Senate, calling both "narrowly targeted bills designed to target the worst of the worst offenders."

"Given the broad consensus that this issue needs to be addressed, it is time to come together and adopt strong legislation that ends the ability of foreign criminals to prey on innocent consumers and steal American jobs," it said.

Schmidt and the other advisers said the Obama administration was ready to work with lawmakers on a narrower, more targeted approach to online piracy to ensure that legitimate businesses - including start-up firms - would not be harmed.

They also said online firms and Internet providers should adopt voluntary standards to clamp down on piracy, an approach that Republicans in Congress and many companies have said lacks the teeth to have an impact.

Saturday's statement did not make clear whether Obama would veto the piracy legislation if it reaches his desk, something the White House would likely spell out more formally ahead of a vote in Congress.

Sherwin Siy, deputy legal director of the consumer rights group Public Knowledge, called on lawmakers to set aside the existing bills and get to work on a new "consensus bill" responding to the White House concerns.

"The messages being sent by the public in opposition to this bill are finally getting through to Washington," Siy said.

Getting to and from an announcement, meeting, or keynote is one of the things we find ourselves doing countless times a day. To truly appreciate just how far we sometimes have to trek to get to the things we're covering at CES is hard to understand unless you've done it. Crowds that delay because they're ambling along, booths that are hard to find, and the time you burn getting to and fro is always at the back of our minds. We thought it a good idea to put together a little tour of how we find and then travel to a booth at CES. Enjoy the video after the break.
