Dr. Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section, agreed. “It is quite easy to miss a baby when you’re anticipating seven.”

Caesarean. Not quite semi-automatic, but still.

The mother plans to nurse the babies herself, which are now being fed pumped breast milk, Gupta told TODAY. "Right now, we are really encouraging her," Gupta said. "She is going to breast-feed the babies.

omgwtfbbq -- breast-feeding eight babies??? They better get some supplemental nutrition, or they won't last long.

My thoughts zachry. Delivered at 31 weeks was most likely for distress, for someone in the bunch. In that case delivery is within minutes of incision, for a good surgeon anyway. The part I don't get is the 40 something spectators.

That's almsot as bad as the idiot who prints a fake $1,000,000 bill and tries to cash it at the bank. I mean for fuck sakes...do a $50 or a $100 bill...not a million. Apparently greed and intelligence don't go well together.

CCTV has captured the moment when two handcuffed prisoners' attempt to escape custody came to a crashing end as they ran into a lamppost.

The pair ran away while awaiting their court hearing in Hastings and managed to cross a street towards a car park before they were recaptured.

Detectives are investigating the death of a 68-year-old man who was found beaten inside his Plano home this morning, Plano police said.
1100 block, Avenue I

Sherlock Holmes was found by a friend about 12:45 a.m. inside his home in the 1100 block of Avenue I, said Plano police spokesman Rick McDonald.

Police were interviewing neighbors and friends to determine a motive, McDonald said.

Holmes, a longtime resident of Plano, was a member of the city’s Douglass Community Center.

Oh, and she already had 6 kids.

She "never expected to have eight more when she took fertility treatment, her mother said." WTF? You have six kids, and THEN you take fertility treatments??

And no husband (no information given about even a steady boyfriend, LTR, or details on the baby daddy/ies of the 6 kids she was already fertile enough to squirt out), lives with her parents. Is "Quite Young." Let me go out on a limb and guess that she is not employed, but is on welfare and every other kind of assistance out there.

Isn't there some kind of questionnaire at the clinic?

How did she pay for the fertility treatments? Are they covered under MediCal too?

Sister Allegedly Beat Up Bride at Wedding

Quote:

Annmarie Bricker, of Valparaiso, Ind., allegedly showed up uninvited at her sister's wedding reception, wrestled the bride to the ground and pulled out some of her hair. Police charged the 23-year-old emergency dispatcher with misdemeanor battery.

Jeremy Glotzbach told police he was hosting a reception for newlyweds Nicholas Landry and Lori Kappes at his home on Jan. 23 when Bricker, Kappes' sister, attacked Kappes on the front porch.
Bricker pulled out clumps of Kappes' hair, struck her head and took the bride to the ground during a struggle, according to the Porter County Sheriff's Department.
Bricker told police she went to the house because she "just wanted to talk" to her sister and parents about family problems. She said she never touched her sister, but five witnesses contradicted her, authorities said. Kappes did not need medical treatment.
Bricker later resigned from her job as a Porter County 911 dispatcher, officials said.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Jane Austen's classic novel Pride and Prejudice is being updated as a zombie horror book and film.

A parody of the English novel is due to be published in April under the name Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, with Hollywood studios already bidding to turn the new book into a blockbuster movie.

The new book has been penned by Los Angeles-based TV comedy writer Seth Grahame-Smith, who has been able to update Austen's original tale because it is out of copyright.

Austen fans are in for a shock, with heroine Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters becoming zombie slayers and taught how to fight like Japanese ninjas by Mr Darcy.

"It quickly became obvious that Jane (Austen) had laid down the blueprint for a zombie novel," The Sunday Times quoted Grahame-Smith as saying.

"Why else in the original should a regiment arrive on Lizzie Bennet's doorstep when they should have been off fighting Napoleon?

"It was to protect the family from an invasion of brain-eaters, obviously."

Grahame-Smith said about 85 per cent of his novel is Austen's original text.

"I hated her when I was forced to read Austen in school, but when I started re-reading I realised she was a brutal, but very funny, satirist," he said.

"I can only aspire to be as mean-spirited as she could be."
