ABSTRACT: We present the results of searches for nucleon decay via n→ν[over ¯]π^{0} and p→ν[over ¯]π^{+} using data from a combined 172.8 kt·yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande-I,-II, and-III. We set lower limits on the partial lifetime for each of these modes: τ_{n→ν[over ¯]π^{0}}>1.1×10^{33} years and τ_{p→ν[over ¯]π^{+}}>3.9×10^{32} years at a 90% confidence level.Physical Review Letters 09/2014; 113(12):121802. · 7.51 Impact Factor
Article: Search for Proton Decay via $p \rightarrow \nu K^{+}$ using 260 kiloton$\cdot$year data of Super-Kamiokande[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have searched for proton decay via $p \rightarrow \nu K^{+}$ using Super-Kamiokande data from April 1996 to February 2013, 260 kiloton$\cdot$year exposure in total. No evidence for this proton decay mode is found. A lower limit of the proton lifetime is set to $5.9 \times 10^{33}$ years at 90% confidence level.Physical Review D 08/2014; 90(7).

ABSTRACT: A facility that can deliver beams of electron and muon neutrinos from the decay of a stored muon beam has the potential to unambiguously resolve the issue of the evidence for light sterile neutrinos that arises in short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments and from estimates of the effective number of neutrino flavors from fits to cosmological data. In this paper, we show that the nuSTORM facility, with stored muons of 3.8 GeV/c $\pm$ 10%, will be able to carry out a conclusive muon neutrino appearance search for sterile neutrinos and test the LSND and MiniBooNE experimental signals with 10$\sigma$ sensitivity, even assuming conservative estimates for the systematic uncertainties. This experiment would add greatly to our knowledge of the contribution of light sterile neutrinos to the number of effective neutrino flavors from the abundance of primordial helium production and from constraints on neutrino energy density from the cosmic microwave background. The appearance search is complemented by a simultaneous muon neutrino disappearance analysis that will facilitate tests of various sterile neutrino models.Physical Review 04/2014; D89:071301.

Article: Measurement of the neutrino-oxygen neutral-current interaction cross section by observing nuclear deexcitation γ rays[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We report the first measurement of the neutrino-oxygen neutral-current quasi-elastic (NCQE) cross section. It is obtained by observing nuclear de-excitation \gamma-rays which follow neutrino-oxygen interactions at the Super-Kamiokande water Cherenkov detector. We use T2K data corresponding to $3.01 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target. By selecting only events during the T2K beam window and with well-reconstructed vertices in the fiducial volume, the large background rate from natural radioactivity is dramatically reduced. We observe 43 events in the 4-30 MeV reconstructed energy window, compared with an expectation of 55.7, which includes an estimated 17.3 background events. The background is primarily non-quasielastic neutral-current interactions and has only 1.2 events from natural radioactivity. The flux-averaged NCQE cross section we measure is $1.35 \times 10^{-38}$ cm$^2$ with a 68% confidence interval of $(1.06, 1.94) \times 10^{-38}$ cm$^2$ at a median neutrino energy of 630 MeV, compared with the theoretical prediction of $2.01 \times 10^{-38}$ cm$^2$.Physical Review D 03/2014; 90(7).

ABSTRACT: A novel single-particle technique to measure emittance has been developed and used to characterise seventeen different muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE). The muon beams, whose mean momenta vary from 171 to 281 MeV/c, have emittances of approximately 1.2–2.3 π mm-rad horizontally and 0.6– 1.0 π mm-rad vertically, a horizontal dispersion of 90– 190 mm and momentum spreads of about 25 MeV/c. There is reasonable agreement between the measured parameters of the beams and the results of simulations. The beams are found to meet the requirements of MICE.European Physical Journal C 10/2013; 73:2582. DOI:10.1140/epjc/s10052-013-2582-8 · 5.08 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The T2K experiment studies oscillations of an off-axis muon neutrino beam between the J-PARC accelerator complex and the Super-Kamiokande detector. Special emphasis is placed on measuring the mixing angle theta_13 by observing electron neutrino appearance via the sub-dominant muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillation, and searching for CP violation in the lepton sector. The experiment includes a sophisticated, off-axis, near detector, the ND280, situated 280 m downstream of the neutrino production target in order to measure the properties of the neutrino beam and to understand better neutrino interactions at the energy scale below a few GeV. The data collected with the ND280 are used to study charged- and neutral-current neutrino interaction rates and kinematics prior to oscillation, in order to reduce uncertainties in the oscillation measurements by the far detector. A key element of the near detector is the ND280 electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal), consisting of active scintillator bars sandwiched between lead sheets and read outwith multi-pixel photon counters (MPPCs). The ECal is vital to the reconstruction of neutral particles, and the identification of charged particle species. The ECal surrounds the Pi-0 detector (P0D) and the tracking region of the ND280, and is enclosed in the former UA1/NOMAD dipole magnet. This paper describes the design, construction and assembly of the ECal, as well as the materials from which it is composed. The electronic and data acquisition (DAQ) systems are discussed, and performance of the ECal modules, as deduced from measurements with particle beams, cosmic rays, the calibration system, and T2K data, is described.Journal of Instrumentation 08/2013; 8(10).

Article: Measurement of Neutrino Oscillation Parameters from Muon Neutrino Disappearance with an Off-Axis Beam[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The T2K collaboration reports a precision measurement of muon neutrino disappearance with an off-axis neutrino beam with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV. Near detector measurements are used to constrain the neutrino flux and cross section parameters. The Super-Kamiokande far detector, which is 295 km downstream of the neutrino production target, collected data corresponding to $3.01 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target. In the absence of neutrino oscillations, $205 \pm 17$ (syst.) events are expected to be detected and only 58 muon neutrino event candidates are observed. A fit to the neutrino rate and energy spectrum assuming three neutrino flavors, normal mass hierarchy and $\theta_{23}\leq \pi/4$ yields a best-fit mixing angle $\sin^2(2\theta_{23})=1.000$ and mass splitting $|\Delta m^2_{32}| =2.44 \times 10^{-3}$ eV$^2$/c$^4$. If $\theta_{23}\geq \pi/4$ is assumed, the best-fit mixing angle changes to $\sin^2(2\theta_{23})=0.999$ and the mass splitting remains unchanged.Physical Review Letters 08/2013; 111(21).

ABSTRACT: The nuSTORM facility has been designed to deliver beams of electron neutrinos and muon neutrinos (and their anti-particles) from the decay of a stored muon beam with a central momentum of 3.8 GeV/c and a momentum acceptance of 10%. The facility is unique in that it will: 1. Allow searches for sterile neutrinos of exquisite sensitivity to be carried out; 2. Serve future long- and short-baseline neutrino-oscillation programs by providing definitive measurements of electron neutrino and muon neutrino scattering cross sections off nuclei with percent-level precision; and 3. Constitutes the crucial first step in the development of muon accelerators as a powerful new technique for particle physics. The document describes the facility in detail and demonstrates its physics capabilities. This document was submitted to the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee in consideration for Stage I approval.

ABSTRACT: Procedures and results on hardware level detector calibration in Super-Kamiokande (SK) are presented in this paper. In particular, we report improvements made in our calibration methods for the experimental phase IV in which new readout electronics have been operating since 2008. The topics are separated into two parts. The first part describes the determination of constants needed to interpret the digitized output of our electronics so that we can obtain physical numbers such as photon counts and their arrival times for each photomultiplier tube (PMT). In this context, we developed an in-situ procedure to determine high-voltage settings for PMTs in large detectors like SK, as well as a new method for measuring PMT quantum efficiency and gain in such a detector. The second part describes the modeling of the detector in our Monte Carlo simulation, including in particular the optical properties of its water target and their variability over time. Detailed studies on the water quality are also presented. As a result of this work, we achieved a precision sufficient for physics analysis over a wide energy range (from a few MeV to above a TeV). For example, the charge determination was understood at the 1% level, and the timing resolution was 2.1 nsec at the one-photoelectron charge level and 0.5 nsec at the 100-photoelectron charge level.Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment 06/2013; 737.

ABSTRACT: The nuSTORM facility has been designed to deliver beams of electron and muon neutrinos from the decay of a stored muon beam with a central momentum of 3.8 GeV/c and a momentum spread of 10%. The facility is unique in that it will: serve the future long- and short-baseline neutrino-oscillation programmes by providing definitive measurements of electron-neutrino- and muon-neutrino-nucleus cross sections with percent-level precision; allow searches for sterile neutrinos of exquisite sensitivity to be carried out; and constitute the essential first step in the incremental development of muon accelerators as a powerful new technique for particle physics. Of the world's proton-accelerator laboratories, only CERN and FNAL have the infrastructure required to mount nuSTORM. Since no siting decision has yet been taken, the purpose of this Expression of Interest (EoI) is to request the resources required to: investigate in detail how nuSTORM could be implemented at CERN; and develop options for decisive European contributions to the nuSTORM facility and experimental programme wherever the facility is sited. The EoI defines a two-year programme culminating in the delivery of a Technical Design Report.

ABSTRACT: Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data were fit with an unbinned maximum likelihood method to search for the appearance of tau leptons resulting from the interactions of oscillation-generated tau neutrinos in the detector. Relative to the expectation of unity, the tau normalization is found to be 1.42±0.35(stat)_{-0.12}^{+0.14}(syst) excluding the no-tau-appearance hypothesis, for which the normalization would be zero, at the 3.8σ level. We estimate that 180.1±44.3(stat)_{-15.2}^{+17.8}(syst) tau leptons were produced in the 22.5 kton fiducial volume of the detector by tau neutrinos during the 2806 day running period. In future analyses, this large sample of selected tau events will allow the study of charged current tau neutrino interaction physics with oscillation produced tau neutrinos.Physical Review Letters 05/2013; 110(18):181802. · 7.51 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: The T2K collaboration reports evidence for electron neutrino appearance at the atmospheric mass splitting, |\Delta m_{32}^2|=2.4x10^{-3} eV^2. An excess of electron neutrino interactions over background is observed from a muon neutrino beam with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV at the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector 295 km from the beam's origin. Signal and background predictions are constrained by data from near detectors located 280 m from the neutrino production target. We observe 11 electron neutrino candidate events at the SK detector when a background of 3.3\pm0.4(syst.) events is expected. The background-only hypothesis is rejected with a p-value of 0.0009 (3.1\sigma), and a fit assuming \nu_{\mu}->\nu_e oscillations with sin^2(2\theta_{23})=1, \delta_{CP}=0 and |\Delta m_{32}^2|=2.4x10^{-3} eV^2 yields sin^2(2\theta_{13})=0.088^{+0.049}_{-0.039}(stat.+syst.).Physical Review D 04/2013; D88(3-3).

ABSTRACT: T2K has performed the first measurement of \nu{\mu} inclusive charged current interactions on carbon at neutrino energies of ~1 GeV where the measurement is reported as a flux-averaged double differential cross section in muon momentum and angle. The flux is predicted by the beam Monte Carlo and external data, including the results from the NA61/SHINE experiment. The data used for this measurement were taken in 2010 and 2011, with a total of 10.8 x 10^{19} protons-on-target. The analysis is performed on 4485 inclusive charged current interaction candidates selected in the most upstream fine-grained scintillator detector of the near detector. The flux-averaged total cross section is <\sigma_CC>_\phi =(6.91 +/- 0.13 (stat) +/- 0.84 (syst)) x10^{-39} cm^2/nucleon for a mean neutrino energy of 0.85 GeV.Physical Review D 02/2013; D87(9).

Article: The T2K Neutrino Flux Prediction[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment studies neutrino oscillations using an off-axis muon neutrino beam with a peak energy of about 0.6 GeV that originates at the J-PARC accelerator facility. Interactions of the neutrinos are observed at near detectors placed at 280 m from the production target and at the far detector -- Super-Kamiokande (SK) -- located 295 km away. The flux prediction is an essential part of the successful prediction of neutrino interaction rates at the T2K detectors and is an important input to T2K neutrino oscillation and cross section measurements. A FLUKA and GEANT3 based simulation models the physical processes involved in the neutrino production, from the interaction of primary beam protons in the T2K target, to the decay of hadrons and muons that produce neutrinos. The simulation uses proton beam monitor measurements as inputs. The modeling of hadronic interactions is re-weighted using thin target hadron production data, including recent charged pion and kaon measurements from the NA61/SHINE experiment. For the first T2K analyses the uncertainties on the flux prediction are evaluated to be below 15% near the flux peak. The uncertainty on the ratio of the flux predictions at the far and near detectors is less than 2% near the flux peak.Physical Review D 11/2012; 87(1).

ABSTRACT: The MiniBooNE and SciBooNE collaborations report the results of a joint search for short baseline disappearance of ν̅ μ at Fermilab's Booster Neutrino Beamline. The MiniBooNE Cherenkov detector and the SciBooNE tracking detector observe antineutrinos from the same beam, therefore the combined analysis of their data sets serves to partially constrain some of the flux and cross section uncertainties. Uncertainties in the νμ background were constrained by neutrino flux and cross section measurements performed in both detectors. A likelihood ratio method was used to set a 90% confidence level upper limit on ν̅ μ disappearance that dramatically improves upon prior limits in the Δm2=0.1–100 eV2 region.Physical Review D 09/2012; 86(5).

The number of candidate events in the data was consistent with the atmospheric neutrino background expectation and no evidence for proton decay in this mode was found.

APP OF THE DAY - Paper by FiftyThree review (iPad)
Sometimes the simplest apps do best. At its core the iPad nails most of the fundamental tablet necessities with decent native apps. A decent photos application, notes and things like iBooks and the Music app all have the main tablet bases covered.
But what if you just want to scribble something down, or perhaps jot out an idea you have come up with quickly? There is no way to just use the iPad as a clean drawing surface, or anything that does it as smoothly as Apple itself. Enter Paper, one of the simplest and slickest applications on the App Store.
Paper by FiftyThree (iPad)
- Format
- iPad
- Price
- Free (in app purchases available)
- Where
- iTunes
So how does Paper work? You are probably bored of us saying how simple the app is, but yeah, it's simple. Boot it up and there is a selection of notebooks. You can rename them, or add more if you want. Each has ten pages. The books can also be customised with different coloured paper and front covers.
The first book called making paper, on the far left, will teach you how to use the application in detail plus provide you with ideas for its various uses. To open up any book, either tap it or pinch out, pinching in will close it again.
Once you open a book, it becomes immediately apparent that getting the most out of the application is going to require a few purchases to be made. Individual pens can be bought or you can pick up the essential package that gives you all of them. The choices are sketch, outline, write, colour and draw.
For the meantime, if you just want to use the app to jot down notes, the free version is more than enough. However you can turn round some really impressive drawings when using the full repertoire of brushes. If you aren't sure, the app will even let you have a play around with them in a demo box on the application. If we had to pick one, it would be the colour option, as it lets you fill in drawings a bit quicker. The rest are not quite as exciting.
What makes paper so good is the way it reacts to your drawing. We are absolutely hopeless with a pen, but the app seemed to make everything we sketched look fairly impressive. Great for budding drawing fans then and definitely a slick app to show off the screen on the latest iPad.

DETROIT - With the California wildfires closing in on his parents' house, Joel Zumaya went up to the attic and tried to salvage a few things for his father.
Moments later, his 2008 season was in jeopardy.
A heavy box fell on top of the Detroit Tigers reliever, injuring his pitching shoulder and forcing him to have major surgery Wednesday in San Diego. He is expected to be sidelined until midseason.
"You think he'll be back, but I can't 100 percent count on that," Tigers president and general manager Dave Dombrowski said Thursday. " We have to plan our staff without him being there."

Loved it . Made dumplings the original way with suet and flour though. But the stew was fantastic. Served with potatoes carrots and broccoli on the side .
Recipe worked perfectly for me! I even add some potatoes and carrots. Love the depth of flavour that the Guinness adds. The dumplings didn't fall apart. I've made this recipe multiple times with much success!
Terrible recipe. A perfectly good casserole ruined by dissolving dumplings. It doesn't work. Don't try it.

Regardless of what direction developments in the Middle East will take in the future, the sure thing is that the region will not go back to where it stood before the developments, which have come to be known as the Arab Spring. The traditional models of power structure have changed and new mentalities have come into play. A review of developments in the Middle East and North Africa will reveal that reconstruction of power in its past centralized form would be almost impossible and governments would sooner or later have to accept the reality that they must experience new modes of governance.
Mohammad Ali Dastmali
The United States' strategy on the role of Kurds in Iraq and Syria is to take advantage of the defense capacity of both the Peshmerga forces that are commanded by Barzani, and the People's Protection Units (YPG), which are under the command of the leaders of PKK. Therefore, if any concession is going to be given to Kurds in this regard, it would be merely due to the defense preparedness of their militia and guerilla forces, their backdrop in organizing political and military activities, as well as their special geographical position, and evidence shows that interaction between Kurds and Washington will continue.
Farhang Jahanpour
"There is a possibility of using the 5+1 format to tackle the Syrian crisis," Jahanpour, a former senior research fellow at Harvard University, tells the Tehran Times.
Hossein Kebriaeezadeh
In the meantime, apart from all negative consequences of the Mina incident for Saudi Arabia's domestic and foreign policy, this country can still take advantage of the capacity of world religions to hold Hajj rituals away from state biases. Riyadh can also take a large-scale nongovernmental approach to this issue and come up with a management model acceptable to the entire Islamic world in order to continue hosting this global congregation.
Behzad Khoshandam
Daesh-making and Daesh-ism as a way of thinking represent an extremist way of thinking, which has a desecuritizing effect and whose ensuing risks pose growing threats to international and regional security day after day. The effects of this way of thinking have influenced remarkable structures, actors, players, governance spheres, as well as political, racial and identity frontiers in international arena.
Nozar Shafiei
It seems, however, that there is a great number of intelligence and analytical propositions available with regard to the Mina incident right now, which prove that it is different from incidents that took place in previous years. For example, there are many media and intelligence reports that prove suspicious and out of the ordinary nature of this year's Hajj incidents.
Hamid Reza Dehghani-Poudeh
The catastrophic incident at Mina is an incident, which has shocked the world's public opinion and has elicited widespread critical reactions in many Islamic countries, especially in Iran. In reality, holding of Hajj rituals has been characterized by regrettable and bloody incidents in consecutive years and it is necessary to think about an effective and rapid solution to prevent repetition of such incidents or, at least, reduce their frequency.
Mohsen Shariatinia
For many years, the Middle East and Africa are considered as one region in many divisions of geographical regions. However, it was difficult in the past to establish a meaningful relationship between these two regions because people in large parts of the Middle East lived in the lap of luxury while African people were plagued with endless woes. However, as time goes by similarities between the Middle East and Africa increase more and more. The following report is an effort to shed light on the expanding similarities between these two regions and their consequences for Iran.
Alireza Rezakhah
One of the main goals of the strategy pursued by the United States and its allies in the Middle East following withdrawal of the American forces from the region has been to form a new current known as the "Third Force." This force was supposed to replace the US ground forces in the Middle East. To achieve this goal, three models have been designed so far, but all of them have failed in practice.

When all you have is "views," it's very easy to create a hybrid s... read more »
Components Should Be Reused, Not Repurposed
A while back, I wrote a post about the problem of inappropriately DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) code . In that post, I attempted to demonstrate, by allegory, the dangers inherit in sharing code that should not be shared. But, I don't think that I clearly articulated the core problem. Recently, howev... read more »
Using A Compound Track-By Expression With ngRepeat In AngularJS
In AngularJS 1.2, the ngRepeat directive added the track-by expression which allows AngularJS to map DOM (Document Object Model) nodes onto view-model values. This was a boon for performance as it meant that DOM nodes didn't have to be destroyed and recreated whenever the underlying object refere... read more »
Passing Contextual Classes And Styles Into Child Components In ReactJS
I've been thinking a lot about AngularJS component directives and how they dove-tail with the concepts of the "shadow DOM". With AngularJS, you get this outer shell which, in the vast majority of cases, is the rendered container element. You can add classes to it, style it, reference it, etc. Now, ... read more »
Thinking In React In AngularJS
I love AngularJS. But, I've been digging into ReactJS a lot lately in order to both get more perspective on application development as well as to be able to help my React-using teammates when they encounter problems. So far, I've found the process to be quite fruitful especially when it comes to t... read more »
Using Dynamic Element Names With The JSX Transpiler In ReactJS
When I first started using JSX with ReactJS, I knew that you could use native HTML elements, like <a> and <span>, as well as React Components, like <List> and <ListItem>; but, it didn't occur to me that JSX element names were dynamic in a more general sense. Mostly by trial-... read more »
Attaching Dynamic Event Handlers To Proxied Child Elements In ReactJS
A month ago, I took a look at creating an AngularJS-inspired "directive" component in ReactJS . The goal of this component was to create a " higher order component " that had a more natural feel and informational flow to it. I liked it as an approach; but, I didn't like that the directive componen... read more »
Setting The State Based On Rendered DOM Elements In ReactJS
The other day, I ran into a really interesting situation in ReactJS. Normally, when I think about React, I think about the state of the component driving the virtual DOM (Document Object Model) and, subsequently, the physical DOM. But, I had situation in which I actually needed to update the state ... read more »
Don't Alter The DOM (Too Much) During The $destroy Event In AngularJS
Lately, I've been digging into the ngAnimate module a lot . It's an awesome part of the AngularJS framework that makes elemental transitions quite easy to implement, even with an extremely dynamic document object model (DOM). But, all of these transitions have gotten me thinking about the state of... read more »
Using The INSERT INTO ... SET Syntax In MySQL
A little while back, I was doing a code review for one my colleagues - Bryan Stanley - when I saw him using an INSERT syntax that I had never seen before. Rather than the traditional INSERT INTO ... VALUES syntax, he was using an INSERT INTO ... SET syntax. This appears to be a MySQL-specific ext... read more »
More Child-Element Animations Using ngAnimate In AngularJS
Over the weekend, I looked at how we can animate static child nodes using the ngAnimate module in AngularJS . To me, this is such an awesome feature of AngularJS (and CSS, really) that I wanted to give it a little bit more love. In this follow-up post, I don't want to introduce anything new, neces... read more »

Experimenting With ngAnimate And ng-animate-ref In AngularJS 1.4
CAUTION : This is an exploratory blog post. A couple of days ago, in response to my post about animating static elements using ngAnimate , Dave Ackerman asked me about the new "ng-animate-ref" feature in AngularJS 1.4. I had not seen of this before, so I wanted to take a quick look. The docu... read more »
Child Animations Have To Take The "Magical" Transition-Delay Into Account In AngularJS
The other day, I blogged about animating "static" child nodes, using ngAnimate, inside of a dynamic container in AngularJS . This worked quite nicely for a single container; however, as I continued to experiment, I noticed that it started to break when I had multiple containers animating at the sa... read more »

Animating Static Child Nodes Using ngAnimate In AngularJS
The other day, I found myself with an interesting problem. I had a container that I was conditionally including using the ngIf directive in AngularJS.

Is Using .bind() To Lock-In Arguments A "Code Smell" In ReactJS
We already know that we don't need to use the .bind() method for things like .forEach() and .map() in a ReactJS render() function. But, I still see .bind() being used to lock-in arguments at render time. This is often done to bind an event handler (like a click-handler) to a particular item withi... read more »
setState(), shouldComponentUpdate(), And render() Timing In ReactJS
The other day, when I was noodling on immutable data in ReactJS , we saw that the shouldComponentUpdate() method provides us with the incoming state (and props) object.

No Deal: US Restarted Pakistan Drone Strikes Despite Objections
Called Pakistan to Tell Them Attacks Would Resume
The resumption of US drone strikes against Pakistan's tribal areas last month came amid rumors of ongoing negotiations with the Pakistani government, and a putative deal to keep the strikes to a minimum.
This appears not to have been the case, however, as new reports indicate that the US simply "informed" Pakistan that the drones would restart, and did so despite objections from the Pakistani government.
The US halted attacks after November 26, when US warplanes attacked two Pakistani military bases along the Afghan border, killing a number of soldiers. Pakistan warned afterwards that it would no longer allow the US unfettered access to their airspace, and even threatened to shoot down violators.
The claims of advanced notice agreements are not true either, as US officials say they won't give Pakistan any warning ahead of attacks, saying they think Pakistan would warn the militants. They did say they would use ISI data for some of the attacks, however.

They won't brehappy till there is war with Pakistan…………..
War with Pakistan means war with China.
Drone and democracy don't go together . A heartless machine kills anonymous people. It's a great shame for humanity. People of USA should ask question about ,otherwise they are not innocence of this heinous guilt.
I guess it all depends on what you mean with the term "democracy".
You should be ware that voting won't change politics.
So I guess it should be ok then for Pakistan, China or Russia to fly drones over Illinois without Washington approval. Any fighting age male could be bombed for being a "suspected militant."
Ha ha! As if the US gave a rat's ass what Pakistan has to say.
How long before Israel starts having drone problims…….. How high is that separation barrier…?? How high can the drones go…. Will they be able to get over the barrier…?? Or was the "barrier" always just one more land grab…???

Nick Jonas
Showing their brotherly love, the Jonas Brothers went to lunch together at Kings Road Cafe in West Hollywood today (September 5).
Eldest brother Kevin wore a blue color block v-neck t-shirt with blue jeans while middle brother Joe wore a gray sweater, dark jeans, and a fedora. Youngest brother Nick wore a black Campbell's soup t-shirt with dark jeans.
Getting ready to jet out of the Big Apple, Nick Jonas loaded up his car before heading to the airport in New York City, New York on Wednesday (August 22).
The "Who I Am" rocker flashed the cameras a friendly peace sign as he walked out of his apartment in a blue button-up shirt and light brown trousers.
They're getting the band back together- the Jonas Brothers paid a visit to Rockefeller Center for a very special announcement on "Today."
During their interview, Joe, Nick, and Kevin shared that not only are they doing a one-off gig in NYC in October, but they're also working on a fifth studio album.
They've all been doing their own thing for the past couple of years, and now the Jonas Brothers are ready to come back together for one night only.
Joe, Kevin, and Nick are rehearsing for an exciting concert slated for October 11th at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Stepping out for a bite to eat, the Jonas Brothers were seen getting breakfast at Kings Road Café in Hollywood, CA on Saturday (August 11).
The trio including Nick, Kevin and Joe all sported black skinny pants, sneakers and black sunglasses as they headed in for the morning grub session.
Doing his best to help out his team, Nick Jonas was on hand at New York City's Central Park to partake in a game of softball with the World Wide Wickets on Thursday (August 9).
The 19-year-old dove for balls while defending the infield as he also was seen loosening up his swing by clutching onto four bats ahead of his plate appearances.
After two recent departures from its judging table, rumors are buzzing regarding who will take the coveted "American Idol" judging seats.
Mariah Carey has officiially signed on for next season, but now Fox is looking towards Nick Jonas to possibly fill a vacant seat.
Enjoying some fresh air and sunshine, Nick Jonas took to the field in New York City's Central Park for a softball game today (August 2).
The "Who I Am" singer looked pretty focused as he strolled around the bases in a white and green "Wickets" uniform as fans cheered from the sideline.
After the exit of Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Randy Jackson, the "American Idol" judges table is looking pretty empty.
According to Us Weekly, Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams could join Mariah Carey and fill the remaining spots.
Showing off his athletic side, Nick Jonas headed out to his car to make sure he had everything ready to go for his softball game in New York City, New York on Thursday (July 26).
The "Jonas Brothers" band mate gave cameras a peace sign and a shy smile as he prepared to step out on the diamond with his Broadway softball league - and besides his slip-on shoes, he was decked out in green and white sporting gear.

The 2009 Syrah Jack Robert's Run Gregori Vineyard is a gorgeous wine layered with blackberries, tar, graphite, incense, camphor and game. In 2009 winemaker Andy Smith waited out the rain and harvested in late October. He was rewarded with a huge, opulent wine that possesses stunning richness and intensity yet is not at all heavy. A mineral-drenched finish adds the last layer of complexity.Drink Dates: 2014-2024

Moms Are Key Breadwinners in Record 40 Percent of American Families
Gone are the days of stay-at-home moms. Trending now are dads doing housework and changing diapers at home.
Moms are the sole or primary source of income in a record 40 percent of all families with children younger than 18, according to a study by Pew Research Center. That number has almost quadrupled since 1960.
What's more fascinating is: The total family income is higher if the mom, not the dad, is the key breadwinner.
The median family income of married women who out-earn their husbands was nearly $80,000 in 2011, more than $20K over the national median for all families with children, according to Pew Research Center.
Single-mom families, however, are not doing so well, with the median standing at a little more than $20,000.
The "breadwinner moms" in the Pew study are made up of 5.1 million married women who earn more money than their husbands, and 8.6 million single moms.
Besides the above-mentioned income gap, the two groups of women also have apparent dissimilarities in age, race and education.
According to Pew Research Center:
Compared with all mothers with children under age 18, married mothers who out-earn their husbands are slightly older, disproportionally white and college-educated.
Single mothers, by contrast, are younger, more likely to be black or Hispanic, and less likely to have a college degree.
Even though more moms are becoming top breadwinners in the family, almost half of the survey respondents still believe children are better off with mom at home. Only 8 percent say the same about dads -- that American kids are better off with Mr. Mom -- according to Pew Research Center.
The bottom line is, you've got to do what's best for the children.
When it comes to single moms, most Americans (64 percent) view this trend as a big problem affecting the well-being of children. But the number of people who feel that way has dropped by 7 percent since 2007, according to Pew Research Center.
Looks like the ingrained notions on women's role in a family have been changing. But not so fast.
