Pakistan downplays radioactive ad:Pakistan's nuclear authority has said there is no cause for concern after it published press adverts for information on "lost" radioactive material.
The adverts urged members of the public to inform officials if they found any "lost or stolen" radioactive material.
They were published in major Urdu-language newspapers in Pakistan.
A spokesman for the nuclear authority said that there was a "very remote chance" that nuclear materials imported 40-50 years ago were unaccounted for.
No word if the radioactive material was exchanged by Pakistani terrorists for a bomb made out of used pinball parts.
Vegan couple found guilty of killing malnourished babyA Superior Court jury convicted a vegan couple of murder and cruelty to children Wednesday in the death of their 6-week-old, who was fed a diet largely consisting of soy milk and apple juice.
Jade Sanders, 27, and Lamont Thomas, 31, will receive automatic life sentences for starving the boy, who weighed just 3 1/2 pounds when he died.
Defense lawyers said the first-time parents did the best they could while adhering to the lifestyle of vegans, who typically use no animal products. They said Sanders and Thomas did not realize the baby, who was born at home, was in danger until minutes before he died.
But prosecutor Mike Carlson told the jury Tuesday during closing arguments: "They're not vegans. They're baby killers!"
The jury deliberated about seven hours before returning the guilty verdicts.

Ok. So let's figure out how this is George Bush's fault.
Bush, Heh.
I don't understand this. Are vegans opposed to breast feeding? Is it somehow viewed as cruelty to humans (or women)? Harris, you must have had some wacked-out vegan friends at Wesleyan, right? What is their position on this issue?
That's a good question - I can't imagine why a vegan would be opposed to a woman's breast milk. I'll investigate.
Maybe it's the bleeding heart liberal in me, but I feel sort of bad for this couple. Sure, they are morons and deserve punishment, but life in prison seems severe. They've already lost their child.
Also, I imagine being a vegan in prison is probably really, really difficult.
