11 Year Old Girl Gives Birth

2010-02-05T11:14:00.000-08:00

No, that’s not a typo. An 11-year-old girl gave birth to a baby boy in the Northeast. She and the baby are both doing fine, her name Samantha. Naturally, there are significant health concerns for a child of this age giving birth. “The textbooks don’t even tell you how to deal with a 10-year-old; it’s completely different even though we understand the basics.” Dr. Abdulla Al-Khan, a leading high-risk obstetrician noted to Fox News.
In a child this young, whose body is not even close to built to carry a child yet, pregnancy can cause a lot of damage, some of it permanent. An 11-year-old’s bones aren’t even completely fused, so putting them under the immense pressures of pregnancy is dangerous enough. Pair that with the potential risks of pumping an under-developed body full of pregnancy hormones (which could stunt her growth) and potential injuries to a pelvis and vagina that are not yet developed enough to sustain childbirth and you have a very high risk pregnancy indeed.
Extremely young patients also risk pre-eclampsia, pre-term labor and delivery, birth defects, stillbirth, fatal fatty liver issues and more. “Think about how difficult a pregnancy is for someone in their 20’s or 30’s…the aches, pains, the sleep deprivation,” Al-Khan says. “Now imagine that in a child.”
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world. One-third of girls get pregnant before the age of 20, according to the Center for Disease Control. Talking to your children about conception and contraception early, far earlier than most of us want to believe in necessary, is an important step in protecting your child.

Google to end censorship in China over cyber attacks

2010-01-13T13:52:00.000-08:00

Google's launch of a new, self-censored search engine in China is a "black day" for freedom of expression, a leading international media watchdog says.

Reporters Without Borders joined others in asking how Google could stand up for US users' freedoms while controlling what Chinese users can search for.
Its previous search engine for China's fast-growing market was subject to government blocks.
The new site - Google.cn - censors itself to satisfy Beijing.

The problem is that Chinese people are still human beings [who] still desire the same freedoms as people in the West

Denis Wong
UK-based Chinese monitoring group Min Quan

But do you really think they are human, just look at them! Please comment.

Google argues it would be more damaging to pull out of China altogether and says that in contrast to other search engines, it will inform users when access is restricted on certain search terms.
It is believed that sensitive topics are likely to include independence for Taiwan and the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, as well as human rights and democracy in China generally.
The Chinese government keeps a tight rein on the internet and what users can access through its so-called "Great Firewall".
The BBC news site, for example, is inaccessible, while a search on Google.cn for the banned Falun Gong spiritual movement directs users to a string of condemnatory articles.
Google rivals such as Yahoo and Microsoft already use censorship in China.
'No surprise'
The company, whose motto is "Don't do evil", launched its new Chinese service less than a week after resisting efforts by the US Department of Justice to make it disclose data on what people were searching for.

Google has lost ground to Beijing-based web search company Baidu

"Google's statements about respecting online privacy are the height of hypocrisy in view of its strategy in China," said Reporters Without Borders (RWB) in a press release on Wednesday.
The result of censorship, it argued, was that the internet in China was "becoming more and more isolated from the outside world" and freedom of expression was shrinking.
According to the Free Tibet Campaign, Google's motto was "in smithereens".
"Through its collusion, Google is endorsing censorship and repression," spokeswoman Alison Reynolds said.
Human Rights Watch told the BBC that if all the search engines acted together, they would be in a strong position to argue for free access.
No blogs
Google hopes its new address will make the search engine easier to use and quicker.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence can access a blocked site when they know its location

Hants Hawk, Hants, United Kingdom

Its e-mail, chat room and blogging services will not be available because of concerns the government could demand users' personal information.
The company argues it can play a more useful role in China by participating than by boycotting it, despite the compromises involved.
The number of internet search users in China is predicted to increase from about 100 million currently to 187 million in two years' time.
A survey last August revealed Google was losing market share to Beijing-based rival Baidu.com.
Last year, Yahoo was accused of supplying data to China that was used as evidence to jail a Chinese journalist for 10 years.

RIVER NORTH. Chicago-style pizza has won droves of ardent fans, and this restaurant is probably the downfall for most of them. Just try to resist the irresistible, deep-dish Chicago pizza with oozing cheese, rich sauce, and fresh toppings from its crisp, cornmeal-infused crust. The spacious dining room seats 500 but still the lines form, and people eagerly await what is considered the best pizza in the town (or maybe anywhere). The ambience is casual with graffiti-covered walls (no profanity!) and dark booths. But people don't come here for the environment; they come for the pizza. You can even take a frozen one home if you call ahead. (© 10Best)

A User's Guide to Boob Terminology

2010-01-10T21:00:00.000-08:00

There are thousands of different words for boobs, but how do you know what term is appropriate for the situation you're in? Luckily, we've spent a lot of time talking about boobs, and we've created a handy User's Guide to Boob Terminology to help you figure out what boob term to use in a given situation.

Breasts

What It Refers To: The superior ventral surface (the upper-torso) of the human body. Usually, the term refers to this area on the female body, while "chest" is more commonly used to describe the upper-torso of male bodies, unless it's a fat ass dude with man-boobs.

When It's Used: In medical or technical conversations, or on television when, for some reason, they feel like they can't just say "boobs".

Proper Usage: "Ma'am, I'm afraid you have breast cancer."

Improper Usage: "Hey, drunk chicks, show us your breasts!"

Bosom

What It Refers To: In reference to the boobs of your mom, grandma, a diety, or any woman who you would never sexualize in a million billion years.

When It's Used: In The Bible, or in reference to where a baby is sleeping.

Proper Usage: "...And lo, Mary held the child Jesus unto her bosom."

Improper Usage: "That stripper was rubbing her bosom all over my face!"

Boobs or Boobies

What It Refers To: Boobs that are covered by clothing with no indication of nipple, as in the image above. Because of the lack of nipple visibility, "Boob" is often used in a more playful tone, rather than a sexual tone.

When It's Used: In everyday conversation between males and females alike. Due to its casual, non-threatening overtones, "Boobs" is considered a relatively non-sexual term, and is therefore acceptable for conversational use, making "Boobs" the most popular term for boobs.

Proper Usage: "Hey, boss! Your boobs look pretty good in that sweater."

Improper Usage: "Hey, wife! I'm gonna boobie-f*ck you tonight."

Tits or Titties

What It Refers To: Boobs that are uncovered by clothing, or covered by clothing but with clear evidence of nipples beneath the clothing, thereby justifying the term's more overt sexual tone.

When It's Used: When two men are discussing boobs in a sexual way.

Proper Usage: "Hey, drunk chicks, show us your tits!"

Improper Usage: "Ma'am, I'm afraid you have titty cancer."

Buzongas or Guzongas

What It Refers To: Boobs that are cartoonishly large, or the large boobs of an actual cartoon, like Jessica Rabbit.

When It's Used: Usually in a conversation with other dudes, delivered in a manner of joking or comical disbelief. Most other ridiculous boob terms fall into this category as well (i.e.- knockers, chesticles, cans, hooters, funbags, dairy pillows, baby feeders, boulders, devil's dumplings, flapdoodles, goombas, honkers, jugs, melons, milk bombs, num-nums, wopbopaloobops, sweater cows, etc.).

Proper Usage: "Did you see that chick smash the beer can with her guzongas?"

Improper Usage: ""...And lo, Mary held the child Jesus unto her guzongas."

Megan Fox gets top dollar in Armani endorsement

2009-10-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

LOS ANGELES — Confirming that endorsement deals still have cachet in a recession, "Transformers" star Megan Fox is pulling down a seven-figure payday to model Armani underwear and jeans.

The 23-year-old will be the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans in 2010, the Milan-based fashion house announced Wednesday.

Most endorsement deals pay celebrities from $500,000 to $2 million for an ad campaign that runs a year, and Fox will make toward the high end of the range, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press. This person was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The actress' publicity team, managers and agents approached Armani several times over the years to build the relationship. She wore Armani outfits at red carpet events and met designer Giorgio Armani at an Armani Prive fashion show in Paris this year.

With Victoria Beckham's contract expiring and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" ballooning past $800 million in worldwide box office, a deal finally clicked. Fox also plays a possessed cheerleader in "Jennifer's Body," which launched in theaters last month.

Overall advertising spending is down, but brands continue to pay for endorsement deals with celebrities, said Carol Goll, head of global branded entertainment for International Creative Management, the Hollywood talent agency that represented Fox in the Armani deal.

"There's a lot of interest in celebrity spokespeople," Goll said. "We haven't seen a decline in that."

The agency recently also signed major deals for clients Beyonce, with General Mills Inc., and Ellen DeGeneres with Cover Girl.

Lady Gaga unveils "Monster Ball" tour dates

2009-10-15T19:28:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Two weeks after the cancellation of her "Fame Kills" tour with Kanye West, Lady Gaga has announced the details of a solo tour.

Described by Gaga as "the first-ever 'pop electro opera,'" "The Monster Ball" tour kicks off November 27 in Montreal, Canada, and will hit 16 North American cities before ending with a two-night stand January 20-21 at New York's Radio City Music Hall.

The pop singer also revealed that "The Fame Monster," an enhanced re-release of her debut album, will be released November 23. It will feature a second disc with eight new songs, including "Bad Romance," which Gaga premiered at the Alexander McQueen show during Paris Fashion Week.

"A message to all my little monsters: 'The Fame Monster' will come out four days before the first live show," Gaga said in a statement. "You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly."

Rapper Kid Cudi -- a protege of West who recently released his debut album, "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" -- will open for Gaga on "The Monster Ball" tour.

Gaga first announced her plans to hit the road solo on October 2. The news came a day after her "Fame Kills" tour with West was canceled because, according to Gaga, West would be "taking a break" in light of fallout from the incident at the MTV Video Music Awards in which he grabbed the microphone from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech.

Green Day go all arty

2009-10-15T19:26:00.001-07:00

The exhibition will take place in London later in October.

The exhibition will run under the title 21st Century Breakdown - The Art Of Rock and will feature 21 pieces of original art work commissioned especially by the band. It coincides with the imminent visit to Britian of Green Day's current arena tour. On 19 October they play Glasgow's SECC, and the tour also includes two Irish concerts, the Odyssey Arena, Belfast on October 20, and The 02, Dublin on October 21.

The band’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said: "We feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out will love it." The art show includes works by several significant international artists such as Ron English, The London Police and C215.
