			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About 1:30 A. M. on March 9th Alana Sanders knew she was going to have a baby. Her husband was gone to work when she went into labor. She was in the bathroom of her home at the time.</p>
<p>Alana&#8217;s two older children assisted her in the delivery. Jabari age 9 and Faith age 11 were the only people there to assist their mom.</p>
<p>Alana had Jabari call 911 and Faith call her father and tell him to come back home from Livermore where he was delivering papers.</p>
<p>It was a quick delivery. One push later and a 9 lb 4 ounce baby boy was delivered.</p>
<p>The two children worked with the 911 dispatcher in a very calm fashion. This is not something you see everyday from kids this age. The 911 tape proved the kids mainly Faith worked in a precise manner directed by the dispatcher. She even tied off the umbilical cord when it snapped. This was very important cause it could have damage their little brother.</p>
<p>The husband and father Geoffrey was very proud of his children in this precious time. He stated his children were &#8220;Super heroes&#8221; when he was not there.</p>
<p>The newborn baby boy, Joseph and mom Alana are doing fine. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Donna Simpson weighs 600 pounds at the age of 42 and she is very proud of being overweight. Donna’s husband is said to be very supportive and is a ‘real belly man’. Donna says that she is working towards weighing 1000 pounds in the next two years to accomplish the goal of being the world’s fattest woman. As of today, she is already considered to be the world’s fattest mother.</p>
<p>Donna states that gaining this weight is not that easy. She is not able to put to weight on as quickly as she would like because her three-year-old daughter keeps her pretty active. Despite her activeness, Donna has been able to steadily gain weight since 2007 when your daughter was born. Donna believes that she is in good shape even if she has to use a mobility scooter when leaving her house to shop.</p>
<p>Proud of her large body and wearing XXXXXXXL, Donna eats large amounts of junk food each week with a grocery bill that exceeds $800 weekly. To pay for this large expense, she is currently running a website where men are able to watch her eat. This is a new fetish that not many people knew existed.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Something insane happened at a Wal-Mart store in New Jersey. As if the company did not have enough lawsuits and is already distrusted by some minorities; something further happened in that state, to tarnish the reputation of Wal-Mart.</p>
<p>&#8220;Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now.&#8221; This was the announcement from a male voice Sunday night in a Wal-Mart store in southern New Jersey. On Wednesday Wal-Mart made profuse apologies over the incident.</p>
<p>After the incident, a manager got on the public address system and immediately apologized. In Bentonville, Arkansas, at the company headquarters, an investigation is under way. It is not yet yet known if it was a rogue employee or a customer.</p>
<p>There have been several past incidents of Black people claiming they have been mistreated at various Wal-Mart stores. Women have also complained about discrimination, while working for Wal-Mart. The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) said that Wal-Mart has been making strides in being fair to minorities and Black people.</p>
<p>The reaction of some customers was that it was a horrible thing that happened. Others shrugged it off as a &#8220;sick prank.&#8221; These things do happen. Chances are that the incident was carried out by a &#8220;disgruntled employee.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The IRS can be relentless when pursuing money owed to them. Home or work visits from the IRS are usually associated with people who are thousands of dollars in arrears.</p>
<p>IRS agents recently tracked down a car wash owner in Sacramento, California, who owed taxes, and they paid a visit to his business to personally hand him the bill. It turns out that car wash owner, Aaron Zeff, was overdue by four cents.</p>
<p>The IRS does charges penalties and interest before a person even becomes aware of their mistake, and Zeff’s bill totaled over $200. He owed the money for four years. When he asked the agents how much money was wasted in collecting his debt, he says they gave no response.</p>
<p>Zeff claims he never received any notices that taxes were owed. He plans to celebrate this event by offering four-cent car washes on April 15th, the deadline for filing taxes. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most women go on a diet to lose weight, but not Donna Simpson. The 42 year old mother, only weighs 602 pounds. Yes, just 602 pounds, her goal is 1000 pounds. Why would somebody want to become morbidly obese? Money and fame.</p>
<p>The New Jersey woman has made headlines already with her declaration to become the world’s heaviest woman and her fifteen minutes of fame appears to be getting an extension. She has reportedly been offered a reality TV show deal and a book deal. Her manager reports he has been fielding phone calls from Oprah and Dr. Phil.</p>
<p>She supports herself with money she makes from a personal website that shows her eating. Men pay to watch Simpson gorge on food while wearing skimpy clothing, including a bikini. These men have fat fetishes and get a thrill out of seeing extremely overweight women.</p>
<p>Simpson has increased her caloric intake to 12,000 calories a day in order to reach her ideal weight. She already holds the record for heaviest mother when she gave birth via caesarean section when she was 530 pounds. She has her sights set on a heaviest woman record but the current record holder died when she weighed 1,600 pounds.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man suffering from sinus cancer and an inoperable brain tumor is doing what he can to support himself. Joseph Casias uses medical marijuana to manage the pain and other symptoms associated with his illness. The 29 year old was recently fired from his long term job as a Wal-Mart associate because of his medical marijuana use.</p>
<p>The young man says he never went to work under the influence nor did he smoke the marijuana while on duty. After five years of employment, he was unexpectedly fired after a drug test revealed the marijuana in his system. The manager of the Wal-Mart store apologized to Casias but said the rules could not be bent, even in a legal use situation.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart spokesperson Greg Rossiter calls the situation “unfortunate” but states, they will not rehire the former associate of the year. Although medical marijuana is legal in fourteen states, there are no laws to protect users from job termination in drug-free companies.</p>
<p>Wal-Mart is just one of many companies that forbid drug use of any kind. Marijuana is still an illegal drug according to federal law. This makes a company liable if any injury occurs on the property at the hands of a medical marijuana user. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a strange attempt to convince infertile women to try in-vitro fertilization, a seminar gave away a free session of in-vitro fertilization – donated eggs included. This has sparked an ethical controversy worldwide. People are aghast that human eggs were used as a door prize.</p>
<p>Sponsors of the event, the Genetics and IVF Institute of America, stated that this seminar and promotion was a way to encourage infertile women to participate in the in-vitro process. They continued to say that the use of the egg in the prize was singled out to create sensationalism. In fact, they were giving away a free in-vitro session, a $23,000 value, and the egg is just part of the treatment.</p>
<p>Protesters claim the company is dealing in body parts and that they have unethically used the very essence of life to promote their company and practice. The IVF Institute claims that the promotion was part of an educational tool used to encourage couples that there is help for their infertility problems.</p>
<p>There is currently no word if the Institute will continue this promotion when the host future seminars. Opponents as well as supporters will be carefully watching how this event unfolds to see if new regulations will come in place for fertility clinics. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Uganda’s Royal Tombs burned in a mysterious fire last evening. Home to four of the most revered kings of the country, onlookers cried in disbelief of the tragedy their heritage just suffered.</p>
<p>The people of this area are very dedicated to their ancestors and this fire represents a disgrace and act of war. The despised leader of the Ugandan government is thought to be behind the destruction of this heritage site. While the people, unarmed and afraid, are whispering these accusations, their thoughts may be true. The morning after the fire, as villagers cleaned the debris and wept, a military brigade swept in and “secured” the area.</p>
<p>Uganda’s leader, Mr. Museveni, arrived to tour the damage. Protesters tried to block his entrance to their scared tomb, but military personnel began firing shots. Three people were killed during the visit. Villagers find his unannounced visit a sure sign that he, or his lackeys, had something to do with the fire.</p>
<p>Knowing that the site can never be replaced, the villagers try respectfully to clean up the burial grounds of their beloved kings. Thousands of people have come to the tragic scene to look and to weep. No one is sure how they will recover from the loss of something so personal and important to their culture. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In areas of racial tension stupid things tend to happen. An Incident at a Wal Mart store in Washington Township, New Jersey was one of these unexceptable stupid things.</p>
<p>A male voice came over the intercom system of the store stating &#8220;Attention Wal Mart customers; All black people leave the store now,&#8221; This happened Sunday evening at the Wal Mart in Washington Township. He was very calm when he made the comment.</p>
<p>This was a stunning event at the store and customers and employees were shocked. Management at the store apologized for the incident later.</p>
<p>Wal Mart company spokes person Ashley Hardie stated the incident about black people or any other race is totally unacceptable. The Wal Mart company is looking into the incident and ways to make sure it will not happen again.</p>
<p>This is a legal issue and the authorities are looking into the event. Both the Washington Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutors Office is investigating the incident.</p>
<p>America is the melting pot of nationalities in the world. It is sad to have people disrupt the freedom this country stands for. We are all Americans in this great nation it is time we start acting like it. </p>
