China blocks Bloomberg News after unflattering coverage of future president

A new investigation into China's next president, Xi Jinping, reveals that his family has made a huge fortione. The Daily Telegraph said the report is "hugely damaging" because Chinese officials are forbidden from amassing significant wealth.

Bloomberg News first broke the story. The news organization found that the family of Xi Jinping, currently China's vice president, has invested in companies with total assets of $376 million.??People are angry because there?s unequal access to money- making," a China scholar told Bloomberg News. ?There?s no question in the Chinese public mind that this is wrong.?

The Chinese government seems to be aware that the public would not be happy about the news. After the Bloomberg story came out, people in China were unable to access the Bloomberg website.?"Our Bloomberg.com website is currently inaccessible in China in reaction, we believe, to a Bloomberg News story that was published today," Belina Tan, head of corporate communications for the Asia-Pacific region, told the Guardian.?

Of course, it's not the first time that sensitive news stories have been blocked in China. The New York Times has had similar problems, BBC News reported, and YouTube, Google+, Twitter, Dropbox, Facebook and Foursquare are all banned in the nation.

Can Netflix Fight Big Cable Companies And Win? - Internet TV

Netflix is setting itself up for a long and protracted against some of its main competitors. The stakes are high and the winner will reap huge benefits. But can Netflix really expect that it can win this battle?

It?s Netflix against cable. Who?s gonna win?

Netflix has long been a thorn in the side of cable providers. It?s not hard to see why. Netflix gives consumers a cheaper option to their cable TV providers. And that?s what worries Big Cable. If there is an alternative to them, their business will suffer. Cable TV providers have done all that they can to slow down Netflix?s growth. But have they gone too far?

Netflix allows consumers to receive movies and TV shows through the mail. They also allow consumers to stream movies and TV shows through internet capable devices like computer, televisions and gaming consoles. Netflix?s monthly fee is dramatically less than that of almost all Pay TV providers. This gives consumers a less expensive entertainment option. But there are some drawbacks. Streaming content takes up internet bandwidth. That is where cable companies have found a way to fight Netflix.

Most cable TV providers are also internet service providers (ISPs). They like to bundle Pay TV and internet access and sell the package to consumers. Most providers have a cap on how much internet bandwidth a consumer can use in a given month. Once that limit is reached, a consumer usually experiences slower internet speeds. In extreme cases, the internet service provider stops a customer from using the service completely.

Netflix contends that cable companies and their ISPs are using data caps to keep consumers from using Netflix exclusively. Of course, the cable providers say that is not the case at all. They say that they are happy to provide internet access to consumers to use as they see fit to. Even those consumers that want to stream video from Netflix, Hulu or any other service. Netflix wants the U.S. government to make sure of that. They have asked a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to make sure that Pay TV providers are not trying to keep consumers from bandwidth hogging video streaming.

Cable companies have a history of anticompetitive behavior. This wouldn?t be the first time that they have tried to keep someone from cutting into their very profitable businesses. Netflix has over 20 million subscribers and that number is expected to continue to grow. That growth could depend on Netflix?s ability to compete on a level playing field with Big Cable.

With a rough landing, Chinese astronauts return safely to Earth

Following a successful manned docking with a prototype space station, China's historic two-week orbital mission ended with a bumpy landing and three grinning astronauts.

By SPACE.com Staff / June 29, 2012

Three Chinese astronauts returned to Earth Thursday (June 28) after 13 days in space on a historic mission that made their country only the third nation ever to successfully dock a manned spacecraft to another in orbit.

Chip Reid reports.

China's Shenzhou 9 space capsule landed at about 10 p.m. EDT?(10 a.m. Friday, June 29 Beijing time) in Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China. To prepare for their journey home, the space crew ? which included China's first female astronaut Liu Yang ? separated the Shenzhou 9 capsule its target, the Tiangong 1 prototype space module, on Wednesday (June 27).

Their landing was broadcast live on China's state-run CCTV television network, showing the capsule streaking through the atmosphere like a meteor, deploying its main parachute, then making the final landing and rolling over on its side in a rough touchdown.

"We fulfilled the first manned manual docking," mission commander Jing Haipeng told CCTV reporters after exiting the Shenzhou 9 capsule. His comments in Chinese were translated into English by CCTV. "For the country and people all across the country, thank you for your concerns." ?[Photos of China's Shenzhou 9 Mission]

Jing and crewmates Liu Yang and Liu Wang appeared to be in good health after their space mission. The trio wore broad smiles and waved to cameras after leaving their spacecraft, but did sit in reclined chairs to help ease their adaptation back to Earth's gravity after nearly two weeks in weightlessness.

Shortly after the landing, China's Premier Wen Jiabao proclaimed the Shenzhou 9 mission a complete success.

"This manned docking mission of Tiangong 1 and Shenzhou 9 marks a large milestone, a major breakthrough for China to master the space docking technology," Wen said while reading a statement. "And also, it marks a decisive step forward on China's second step on its space strategy."

China's big space leap

China's Shenzhou 9 mission, which included successful displays of manual and automatic dockings, represented an important leap forward for China's space program. In addition to being China's longest space mission to date, it also tested technology vital for the country's goal of building space station in orbit by the year 2020.

"Chinese astronauts have their own home in space now," Jing told China's President Hu Jintao on Tuesday (June 26) during a special call according to the state-run Xinhua news agency. "We are proud of our country!" ?

And while the orbital linkups are important technological achievements for China, the mission also carried a wider social impact because it included the country's first female astronaut: the 33-year-old Liu Yang.

"It was like a home in Tiangong, and I feel very happy and proud of my country," Liu Yang told reporters after landing.

Jing, the commander, is China's first veteran astronaut to fly in space twice. The third crewmember, Liu Wang, served as the Shenzhou 9 docking pilot.

"It feels really good to feel the ground and to be back home," Liu Wang said.

Stocks end higher after new housing data

By msnbc.com news services

Stocks rebounded Tuesday after upbeat data on home prices, but the outlook was clouded by doubts about a summit on the European debt crisis this week.

Major U.S. stock indexes recovered part of Monday's sharp losses of more than 1 percent. However, an air of caution remained as Spanish borrowing costs jumped and U.S. consumer confidence fell to its lowest in five months in June.

"Certainly in the United States stocks are nicely priced, and for a long-term investor it is an attractive entry point, but then what about this macro risks hovering around the market? I think it's having a dampening effect," said John De Clue, regional investment director at U.S. Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis.

Spanish bond yields rose after demand at a bill sale fell despite significantly higher yields as hopes faded that the European Union summit later this week would produce game-changing crisis measures. Madrid formally asked on Monday for funds to bail out its banks in a move some see as a prelude for a full-blown bailout of the euro zone's fourth-largest economy.

S&P/Case Shiller data showed home prices in 20 metropolitan areas gained 0.7 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis, topping economists' expectations for a 0.4 percent gain.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp said it was considering splitting into two publicly traded companies, and sources familiar with the matter said publishing would be separated from entertainment. Its shares jumped.

Facebook shares jumped a day before the underwriters of the social network site's recent IPO can make public their research on the company.

Reuters contributed to this report.

Linkin Park's LIVING THINGS: The Personal Album For The Masses

'[Our songs] can be felt on so many different levels,' Chester Bennington says of LP's latest, in stores Tuesday.
By James Montgomery

Linkin Park
Photo:

When Linkin Park began the process of making LIVING THINGS, they weren't sure where the journey would take them ... after all, the last time they headed down this path — on 2010's A Thousand Suns — their voyage ended up in decidedly dystopian territory: It was, for all intents and purposes, an album that sounded like a sonic apocalypse, and dealt with similarly dark themes.

But to be honest, that didn't dissuade them. Because, as they've discovered over their 15-year career, creative uncertainty is practically par for the course. It truly seems that Linkin Park don't know what kind of album they're making until it's done. And even then, sometimes they're still not sure.

"When we're writing a record, there's a misconception [that] maybe [we're] thinking of something, and planning a goal, trying to imagine a song and then making a song," Mike Shinoda told MTV News during "MTV First: Linkin Park." "That's not how we work. We basically sit down with instruments and try to pull it down out of the air. You go into it without thinking, and then you see what comes out. And in the process of making the last record, a lot of what was popping out was about nuclear war, stuff like that. I think, having gotten that out of our system, this record, when we sat down to write songs, it was always personal, and it kept happening."

And while most of the advance press about LIVING THINGS (in stores Tuesday) seemed to focus on LP ditching the political for the personal, that may not actually be the case. Because Linkin Park keep coming back to the idea of uncertainty ... to them, the songs on their new album are meant to be taken however their fans choose to take them. Sure, they may be drawing from the personal, but they're meant for the masses. Pure and simple. And though they've changed plenty over the years, that aspect of their music remains steadfastly, immutably unaltered.

"You can look at a song like 'CASTLE OF GLASS,' which for me, has one of the most interesting opposing points of view," Chester Bennington said. "When Mike was talking about the lyrics, at one point he had said, 'You know, it's kind of like finding yourself as this broken part of this big machine, and feeling like you're not part of that, or trying to find your place in the bigger scheme of things.' And that can mean a solider coming home from war, and trying to fit back into society, or a person getting out of prison, or whatever.

"And here I am, envisioning this big, beautiful glass castle on a hill, and, like, unicorns. I'm thinking like 'Yeah, if you zoom in, I'm this little broken part of this castle that no one knows about, and I may seem like flawed and not important, but when you back up and look at the big picture, you're part of this really beautiful thing that keeps you together," he continued. "And it was a really interesting twist; I think a lot of our lyrics can be taken from multiple perspectives, depending on what you want the song to be about ... they can be felt on so many different levels."

Spice Girls unite to launch musical 'Viva Forever'

(AP Photo/PA, Ian West) UNITED KINGDOM OUT NO SALES NO ARCHIVE

LONDON (AP) ? The Spice Girls gave fans what they want ? what they really, really want ? Tuesday, reuniting onstage to announce the details of a musical based on their songs.

Producers stress that the stage show "Viva Forever" isn't a biography of the band, but there are plenty of real-life resonances for the 1990s "Girl Power" group in its tale of female empowerment and friendship tested by fame. The show opens in London in December.

"We're going to be introducing a whole new generation to 'Girl Power,'" said Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham, who attended a media launch alongside Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm and Melanie Brown ? also known as Baby, Ginger, Sporty and Scary Spice.

"Viva Forever" aims to tap the same vast female fan base as "Mamma Mia," which has been produced in 14 languages around the world and spawned a hit film starring Meryl Streep. The Spice Girls show tells the story of four friends whose bond becomes strained when their band enters a TV talent show.

Scored to Spice Girls hits including "Wannabe," ''Spice Up Your Life," ''Mama" and the title track, it was written by comedian Jennifer Saunders ? co-creator of celebrity-skewering sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous" ? and produced by Judy Craymer, the woman behind world-conquering ABBA musical "Mamma Mia."

Focusing on female friends and mother-daughter relationships, Craymer called the musical "a heartwarming family tale" that touches on the role of media and celebrity in the modern world.

"There's just something empowering about women's stories that interests me a lot," Craymer said.

Saunders ? who once spoofed the Spice Girls in a mock band called the Sugar Lumps ? said the show aimed to catch "the joy that they brought, their energy and their positivity."

The Spice Girls said they were delighted with the show, which was unveiled for the press in the grand neo-Gothic hotel where the video for their 1996 breakthrough hit "Wannabe" ? in which the band promised to "tell you what I want, what I really, really want" ? was filmed.

"Sixteen years ago when we were writing the words 'zig-a-zig-ah,' we could never have imagined they would be in a West End show," Halliwell said, quoting the catchy if confusing refrain of "Wannabe."

Added Chisholm: "It's better than we could ever have imagined."

"They sing it better than us," said Brown.

The band's outsized personalities and Halliwell's Union Jack dress made them icons of 1990s "Cool Britannia," and they sold 75 million records around the world. Halliwell left the group acrimoniously in 1998 and the Spice Girls effectively split a decade ago. The five members have not appeared together since a 2007-2008 reunion tour.

Since then, several have released solo records, and Beckham has become a fashion designer and part of a celebrity power couple with her soccer-star husband, David Beckham.

Despite their past differences, they appeared in good spirits as they joked and praised one another Tuesday.

Halliwell said her band mates "individually and collectively, they're really lovely."

"She's only saying that because she left!" said Chisholm.

True, Halliwell conceded, "but they took me back."

"Viva Forever" begins previews Nov. 27 and opens Dec. 11 at London's Piccadilly Theatre.

Does Mars' interior hold huge reservoirs of water? Martian meteorites say yes.

Some parts of Mars' interior are as wet as that of Earth, a new study finds.

By Space.com Staff,?Space.com / June 25, 2012

The interior of Mars holds vast reservoirs of water, with some spots apparently as wet as Earth's innards, scientists say.

Skip to next paragraph

' + google_ads[0].line2 + '
' + google_ads[0].line3 + '

The finding upends previous studies, which had estimated that the Red Planet's internal water stores were scanty at best ? something of a surprise, given that liquid water apparently?flowed on the Martian surface?long ago.

"It?s been puzzling why previous estimates for the planet?s interior have been so dry," co-author Erik Hauri, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, said in a statement. "This new research makes sense and suggests that volcanoes may have been the primary vehicle for getting water to the surface."

The scientists examined two Martian meteorites that formed in the planet's mantle, the layer under the crust. These rocks landed on Earth about 2.5 million years ago, after being blasted off the Red Planet by a violent impact.

Using a technique called secondary ion mass spectrometry, the team determined that the mantle from which the meteorites derived contained between 70 and 300 parts per million (ppm) of water. Earth's mantle, for comparison, holds roughly 50-300 ppm water, researchers said.

"The results suggest that water was incorporated during the formation of?Mars?and that the planet was able to store water in its interior during the planet?s differentiation," Hauri said.

Some of this water apparently made its made to the surface in the ancient past. NASA's?Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which landed on the Red Planet in 2004, have found plenty of evidence that Mars was far warmer and wetter billions of years ago than it is today.

The two golf-cart-size robots have even spotted signs of ancient hydrothermal systems, suggesting that some places on the Red Planet once had both water and an energy source ? two key ingredients for the existence of life as we know it.

While the new results should help scientists better understand Mars and its history, they could also shed light on the evolution of large, rocky bodies in a more general sense, researchers said.

"Not only does this study explain how Mars got its water, it provides a mechanism for hydrogen storage in all the terrestrial planets at the time of their formation," lead author Francis McCubbin, of the University of New Mexico, said in a statement.

The study was published in the journal Geology on June 15.

Meta-Study: Moderate Coffee Cuts Cardiac Failure

60-Second Health | Health

Sixteen ounces of coffee a day cut the risk of heart failure, but 40 daily ounces of coffee upped the odds of ticker trouble. Katherine Harmon reports.

A good cup of coffee can get you out of bed in the morning. But for heart patients coffee's often on the list of things to avoid. The American Heart Association advises that it might increase the risk of heart failure.

But a new report suggests that moderate coffee drinking could actually lower the odds of heart failure. The findings are in the journal Circulation. [Elizabeth Mostofsky et al, Habitual Coffee Consumption and Risk of Heart Failure: A Dose-Response Meta-Analysis, link to come]

Researchers poured through five studies that followed more than 140,000 European adults, and included information about coffee intake. People who drank about 16 ounces of coffee a day?a grande in Starbucks-speak?had about an 11 percent reduction of the risk of heart failure. People who drink coffee also seem to have less type 2 diabetes, another risk factor for heart disease.

But that doesn't mean it's time to start ordering the venti. In the studies, people who consumed more than 40 ounces a day were at an increased risk for heart failure. More research should filter out the best info, which will percolate down to the public.

Breast Cancer Patient Turns To Superfoods After Refusing Medicine ...

Breast Cancer Patient Turns To Superfoods After Refusing Medicine In a recent report, it has been claimed that a breast cancer patient has gone for a healthy lifestyle including exercise and healthy food. Vicky Sewart did this just to avert the side effects of the medicines she had to take for the disease. Furthermore, her diet included spice Turmeric used in curries.

It's been now four years that she was on such diet, and now she is all fine. This has even amazed researchers who have made the 44-year-old a subject of their study to find out the kind of changes she brought in her life to shove off the disease.

It was in the month of June 2008 that she had got one of her breasts removed and lymph node. It was noted that she had refused to take Tamoxifen during remission, once she had been through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

Once she refused to take the drug, she was told by the doctors that she needs to keep oestrogen out of body, as the drug was specifically meant for that only. "The doctors absolutely will not say that the diet is going to do anything to help the cancer in any way, other than to say a healthy diet is going to help in the fight against any disease", she said. It would be worth seeing what lifestyle changes did to make the woman all fine now.

No Name Farm/Ranch: Future Telling

Out of morbid curiosity I peaked back at some one year old blog posts, not quite sure what I'd find, but certain it would bring back all kinds of disgusting memories of the loan-getting/builder-interviewing/life-upside-downing process.

I found some of that, to be sure.? But then I also found this - so absolutely prescient that I shivered.? Especially to realize that exactly one year later - to the day - we brought home another year's worth of hay.? I shook the feeling off fast and went out to pet my snoozing pyrenees and feed the baby goats who (like last year's post says) weren't even born at the time I wrote it.? I guess it wasn't future-telling so much as just making sure things actually happened.?

Damn it feels good, either way.

Berkeley Study: For MBAs, Happiness Isn?t About the Money

"Well after the point that Facebook's valuation passed $1B, Mark still lived in a small, crappy apartment and slept on a mattress on the floor. All he really cared about was work and he spent most of his waking hours at the office," wrote?Facebook's first product manager, Ezra Callahan. Entrepreneurs have a peculiar habit of bucking the capitalistic expectation of easy money for long hours hunched over a laptop, leaving cushy jobs to start a risky new company, dedicating their time to charity, or simply working enough hours to make their equivalent hourly salary less-than-minimum-wage. A new longitudinal study of business students has an explanation: happiness isn't about the money.

Dr. Ayshe Talay-Ongan: Falling in Love at First ... - Huffington Post

Falling in love is the Holy Grail and part and parcel of marriage in Western cultures. How many times over the years have we seen images of young women, mostly on TV and in the movies, telling their friends and family that they are in love with stars and pixie dust in their eyes? Plus, we are inundated with the expectation that when one is in love, marriage is justified; in fact, we fall in love and we get married, right? Well, obviously something is amiss in this scenario -- just look at the divorce rates!

First, this notion of falling in love and uniting lives based on romantic love is a relatively new one. Throughout history, if we look at how marriages took place, we see that they were mostly arranged unions, propelled by status, monetary benefit or similar advantage to the families of the future partners. Marriage then was a logical, sensible, strategic partnership. A maiden's heart may still have fluttered at the sight of a certain dashing young man, to be sure -- after all, falling in love is the essence of our humanity -- but marriage because of falling in love? Very rare and quite unlikely.

So first we, as contemporary Western women, should count our blessings for not being forced into unions that we may have loathed. Let us stop and consider that in many cultures around the globe, women are still seen as a commodity to be used and abused. That for many women, pursuit of happiness is not a right, but a fantasy.

Secondly, let us take a closer look at falling in love. Think about the very first boy who took your breath away; that kid that you just could not stop thinking about... was that falling in love? And how many times has that happened to us since? Here's my point: We probably fall in love quite a few times and it starts from our childhood. As we mature, our criteria for "marriage material" men also evolve and change. We may think that a guy is hot, even take him to bed, but few women would stake their lives on looks or sex alone.

So then, to the point: Is it possible to fall in love on first sight? The answer is, yes, but even such a 'thunderbolt' could not be sustained unless a woman's intuition, topped with her increasing knowledge of the character of that person, were at play. When women sense a certain depth of character, feelings of compassion and empathy and genuineness in the person they were swept away by, they start paying attention to that relationship, and begin nurturing it. So love at first sight may slowly evolve into a relationship.

Falling in love with the worthy other is like being entrusted with the rarest, most beautiful orchid. It needs deepening knowledge of one another to sustain it. It needs growing, compassionate and empathic friendship to walk in each other's shoes to support it. It needs mutual freedom and respect to breathe in so it can flourish. It needs not just one day, one week, one month, but years to mellow and gain depth of flavor that makes the happiness it generates essential to the couple's existence -- indeed, like good wine or ripened cheese that is a feast for the palate. It cannot be taken for granted, because it will wilt away. And a sad dry twig is no orchid.

Remaining in love is hard work that comes easy if it's the real thing. If anything that's worth doing is worth doing well, then loving well is worth the world.

ANDRES ?JAGUARCITO? GUTIERREZ VS. ONALVI SIERRA & YAZMIIN ?LA RUSITA? RIVAS VS. NYDIA FELICIANO TO AIR ON FOX DEPORTES IN UNITED STATES ON JUNE 23 FROM PUEBLA, MEXICO

LOS ANGELES, June 22 ? Possessing the power and talent to make all fight fans sit up and take notice, 18-year-old phenom Andres ?Jaguarcito? Gutierrez has been making some serious noise on the Mexican fight circuit and will face a stiff test when he faces off against Colombia?s Onalvi Sierra in a 12-round bout for the vacant IBF International Bantamweight title on Saturday, June 23 at Gimnasio Municipal Miguel Hidalgo in Puebla, Mexico in a fight which will be televised in the United States on FOX Deportes.

In the televised co-feature, Torreon?s Yazmiin ?La Rusita? Rivas defends her IBF Bantamweight title against New York?s Nydia Feliciano.

Gutierrez vs. Sierra is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions. The FOX Deportes broadcast will air at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT.

A professional since the age of 15, Queretaro, Mexico?s Andres Gutierrez (21-0-1, 18 KO?s) is a rare talent that you don?t find too often. A blistering puncher who, at only 18, is only getting better with time, ?Jaguarcito? has been very impressive already, ending eight of his wins in two rounds or less. Fresh off of three straight wins over veterans Carlos Guzman, Franklin Varela and Devis Perez, Gutierrez is looking forward to adding Sierra to that list on June 23.

24-year-old Colombian Onalvi Sierra (24-5-1, 21 KO?s) is anything but a stepping stone for Gutierrez. Rebounding from an 8-4-1 start to his career to win 16 of his last 17 fights, Sierra promises to match his powerful opponent punch-for-punch. Ready for an explosive battle, this may end up being a career defining fight for the ultra-tough Sierra.

Perhaps the most active female fighter in the sport today, 24-year-old Yazmin ?La Rusita? Rivas (24-7, 9 KO?s) has been perfecting her trade in the ring for nearly 11 years, taking on all comers everywhere from her native Torreon, Coahuila de Zaragoza, Mexico to the United States to North Korea to Germany. In October of last year, Rivas won the IBF title with a decision victory over then 21-0 Susie Ramadan, defending her crown with a win over Edith Matthysse in February in her most recent outing. She will look to make it two successful defenses in a row against 23-year-old Bronx, New York native Nydia Feliciano (5-2-3), who has won three in a row after a 2-2-3 start to her career.

Another reason why dads and hopeful dads should quit smoking now

ScienceDaily (June 23, 2012) ? As you decide what to get dad for Father's Day, you might want to consider what he gave you when you were conceived. If he smoked, your genes are likely damaged, and your odds for cancers and other diseases throughout your life could be increased. A new research report appearing online in the FASEB Journal, scientists show for the first time in humans that men who smoke before conception can damage the genetic information of their offspring. These inherited changes in DNA could possibly render an offspring in the womb susceptible to later disease such as cancer.

This provides evidence showing why men should be urged to stop smoking before trying to conceive in the same way women have been urged to quit. Interestingly, a fertile sperm cell takes about three months to fully develop; therefore men would ultimately need to quit smoking long before conception to avoid causing genetic problems.

"That smoking of fathers at the time around conception can lead to genetic changes in their children indicates that the deleterious effects of smoking can be transmitted through the father to the offspring," said Diana Anderson, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the School of Life Sciences at the University of Bradford, in the United Kingdom. "These transmitted genetic changes may raise the risk of developing cancer in childhood, particularly leukemia and other genetic diseases. We hope that this knowledge will urge men to cease smoking before trying to conceive."

To make this discovery, Anderson and colleagues used DNA biomarkers to measure genetic changes in the paternal blood and semen around conception, as well as maternal and umbilical cord blood at delivery in families from two different European regions in central England and a Greek island. Information regarding the lifestyle, environmental and occupational exposures of these families was taken from validated questionnaires. The combined analysis of exposures and DNA biomarkers was used to evaluate the role of exposures before conception and during pregnancy in the causation of genetic changes in the offspring. These results have strong implications for the prevention of disease.

"This report shows that smoking is a germ cell mutagen. If dad uses cigarettes, his kids will be affected even before they are born," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of the FASEB Journal. "As Father's Day approaches, family members may want to give dads and prospective dads the help they need to quit smoking for good."
