Woody Allen said this about his relationship with Soon-Yi Previn:

"I don't ever feel that I'm with a hostile or threatening person. It's got a more paternal feeling to it."

Well, gee, maybe that's because she's his daughter that he adopted???

Something about that article made me wince and LOL at the same time.

Have any of you heard of this new movement? The girlcott against Abercrombie and Fitch? The center of the protest is some T-shirts with slogans such as "Anatomy Tutor", "You'd better make more than I spend" or "Who needs brains when you have these..."

Apparently some very upset teenagers are taking their girlcott nationwide. And it even got the backing of a national special interest group. Pretty intesting.

I haven't been in an abercrombie store since 1996. So, I'm not able to girlcott this time around.

Not national, but bizarre nonetheless.

Cattle Truck Overturns, Leaving part of I-74 Closed for Most of The Day

From WCPO.com
I-74 completely reopened late Wednesday afternoon, more than ten hours after a cattle truck overturned, leading to a day-long roundup in Whitewater Township.

In the end, just 19 of the 39 cows or bulls survived.
The wreck happened around 4 a.m., when a cattle truck driven by Scott Leonard overturned on I-74 Westbound near the I-275 split, shutting down the highway.
Leonard said he swerved to avoid an oncoming car in the fog. He has been cited for a misdemeanor count of failure to maintain control.
The driver said he picked the cattle up from a stockyard in Maysville and was headed to Emmber Food Corporation in Milwakuee, Wisconsin.
Here's a breakdown of what happened to the cattle after the crash:
25 remained in the truck:
  • Five died in the wreck
  • Five were euthanized
  • One was shot
14 escaped from the truck:
  • Five were captured
  • Eight were shot by deputies
  • One was found dead in a front lawn at 8895 Harrison
"Normally, herded cattle stay together, however we have a couple of bulls that are kind of cantankerous...We might have to dart them to get them under control," said Harold Dates of the SPCA, who is on the scene.

Man (says he) BEAT HIV. Doctors want to begin testing him to find cure.

This was in the newspaper, here's an online article:

HIV patient claims to have cleared the virus
Mon Nov 14, 2005 3:32 PM GMT
Printer Friendly | Email Article | RSS

LONDON (Agence de Presse Medicale) - British specialists have appealed to a man who tested positive for HIV but claims to have cleared the virus to return for further tests so that they can discover what really happened.

Andrew Stimpson told two British newspapers on Sunday he was "one of the luckiest people alive." The 25-year-old Scottish sandwich maker added: "All the doctors have told me it is a medical miracle that I am clear."

According to the reports, Stimpson had been diagnosed HIV-positive in 2002 but was found to be negative in October 2003 by Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare NHS Trust in London.

He sought compensation but was told there was no case to answer because there was no fault with the testing procedure.

A spokeswoman for the Trust in London confirmed that one of its patients had tested negative for HIV about 14 months after testing positive in May 2002.

"He did test positive and then later negative, but in terms of curing himself, we don't know because he hasn't been back for further tests," said the spokeswoman. "We very much want him to return so we can try to find out what exactly has happened," she added.

Scientists cite anecdotal accounts from Africa of people eliminating HIV but say they have never seen firm evidence.

The hospital spokeswoman said subsequent DNA checks proved there had been no mix-up in the identity of the patient and the HIV tests but said she did not know whether there could have been any other error in the original test.

Deborah Jack, chief executive of the National Aids Trust, told the BBC: "This appears to be a highly unusual case and without further tests it is impossible to draw any conclusions for people living with HIV.

"The virus is extremely complex and there are many unknowns about how it operates and how people's bodies react to it. Therefore, if this case were able to shed further light, it could be extremely valuable for research into treatments or a cure."
The guy said he feels he has something to do, so it seems he's gonna let there be tests on him.

It's thought that it's because of his strong immune system. Could be fake, I think it can be real.

In 'wrongful life' suit, disabled woman blames doctor for letting her be born

By Emanuella Grinberg
Court TV

A blind and deaf Australian woman who claims she never should have been born is suing a doctor for a lifetime of suffering in the country's first "wrongful life" suit.

Alexia Harriton, 24, is seeking compensation from the doctor who misdiagnosed rubella in the first trimester of her mother's pregnancy, claiming Olga Harriton would have aborted her had she been aware of the potential birth defects arising from the illness.

Lawyers for the Sydney woman argued in Australia's highest court Thursday that Dr. Paul Stephens is liable for the costs arising from a lifetime of medical treatment that Harriton needs to survive.

His negligence resulted in the birth of a child who is "profoundly disabled," a media spokesperson for the law firm representing Harriton told Courttv.com.

Harriton's lawyers claim that Stephens had a duty to Olga Harriton and to her unborn daughter to inform her of the risk of the infection passing to her child.

"Had the rubella been diagnosed, Olga [Harriton] would have exercised her lawful right to terminate the pregnancy," court documents state.

The suit says Harriton, 24, who was born mentally retarded, spastic, deaf and blind, is in need of constant round-the-clock care from which she "can look forward to no improvement" in the future.

Harriton's attorneys asked Australia's Court of Appeals Thursday for unspecified damages associated with Alexia's "rubella affected life," including the costs of special care, medical expenses, housing and other expenses, according to a press statement. The lawyers would only speak to Courttv.com through their spokesperson, Kerry O'Shea.

A statute of limitations prevents Harriton's parents from filing the claim, making the case the first in Australia to be filed against a health-care specialist by a child born with congenital defects.

Harriton's suit, which was initially filed in 2002, was denied by lower courts on the grounds that the doctor did not breach his duty to the mother or the child.

"The defendant has not caused the infant's injury but merely failed to prevent its birth," Justice Timothy Studdert wrote in a June 2002 judgment.

Studdert also cited rulings from foreign courts, including the United States, which addressed the esoteric difficulties of putting a dollar tag on "the value of non existence" as compared to the costs of living with a disability.

"Whether it is better never to have been born at all than to have been born with even gross deficiencies is a mystery more properly to be left to the philosophers and the theologians," the New York Court of Appeals wrote in a 1986 decision rejecting a similar "wrongful life" claim. "The implications of any such proposition are staggering."

A similar claim had greater success in California, where the state appeals court found that a testing laboratory was responsible for the medical costs associated with the care of a child whose parents were not informed of the potential for a certain genetic disease being passed onto the fetus.

Alongside Harriton's suit is a similar claim from a 5-year-old Australian boy who was born with permanent brain damage and cerebral palsy after doctors failed to detect a blood disorder present in his father's system.

Keeden Waller's parents have filed suit on his behalf, claiming they would have sought out other methods of conception had they been aware of the potential for birth defects.

Waller's claims were also heard Thursday in conjunction with Harriton's, after a New South Wales appeals court rejected both their claims in 2004 in a 2-to-1 decision.

Those justices also said it was impossible to determine whether no life was better than a life of suffering, or to assess liability for that suffering.

Appeals Court Chief Justice James Spiegelman also found that the doctors did not breach any duty to the children.

The dissenting justice, however, found the doctors' negligence especially grave in light of the fact that the disabilities were easily detectable and preventable.

The High Court is expected to render its decision in the next few months.
