Idle Chat / Avoid Alcohols

« on: July 31, 2008, 04:31:57 AM »

Drinking contributes to a wide range of effects on exposed babies, including attention and hyperactivity problems, problems with social and emotional development learning and memory deficits.

The most serious consequence of a mother drinking during pregnancy is fetal alcohol syndrome(FAS). Children with FAS have a distinctive set of facial anomalies, growth retardation, and significant learning and/or behavioral problems.

Even children prenatally exposed to lower levels of alcohol may exhibit learning and behavioral problems. So far, a threshold below which no fetal damage will occur has not been established. In other words, any amount of alcohol during pregnancy can be dangerous.

News / Delaware court rules in favor of IAC's Diller

« on: July 31, 2008, 04:25:14 AM »

A Delaware court ruled in favor of IAC/Interactive Corp chief Barry  Diller on Friday in a legal dispute with controlling shareholder  Liberty Media, paving the way for him to proceed with a proposed spin off of four company units. Shares in IAC surged more than 8 percent on news of the decision. In 78-page ruling, Delaware Chancery Court Judge Stephen Lamb upheld Diller's long-standing proxy agreement that allows him to vote Liberty's controlling interest in IAC, even if Liberty does not agree with his position.
