About a month after the demo for "Give Me All Your Love"—her breezy, charmingly unassuming comeback single—got us excited for the prospect of new Madonna, we now have another transmission: "Masterpiece," a William Orbit-produced number from the soundtrack to Madge's W.E movie, which may end up on her new album as well. The song is a stately ballad which, like "All Your Love," is also fairly low-key for Madonna, with just a simple picked guitar riff and some light strings providing the hook, and Madonna's vocals (and the nice harmonies on the chorus) providing the real meat of the song. It seems like the sort of song that should have inspired Britney Spears' "Criminal," though the chronology doesn't really work out so well on that.
The song is certainly pretty, though the lyrical theme about the perils of "be[ing] in love with a masterpiece" isn't a resounding winner, and leads to some minorly icky lyrics—the opening lines are "If you were the Mona Lisa / You'd be hanging in the Louvre." Still, as Perez Hilton points out (and unfortunately, for now you have to click over there to listen to the song), it wouldn't be totally out of place on Madonna's mid-'90s ballad compilation Something to Remember, and for longtime fans, that should be enough to make this a must-listen. "You are QUEEN!" Perez also says about Madonna, though we think he might be mixing her up with Lady Gaga.

Parenting begins at the point of conception. Well, to many of us that is. Not everyone is behind this theory though, thus today will be yet another landmark day in the lives of the people that believe in Pro-Life. Today is the 41st annual March for Life!
This year the theme will be all about adoption; perhaps the middle ground sought between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice believers. This rally is so important to so many that it will go on rain or shine and with or without wind chill factors that could plummet to -20 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) in Washington D.C.
For parents that simply cannot seem to become parents the good old-fashioned way, adoption is an easy choice, but, unfortunately, it is very expensive in the United States and there are fewer babies put up for adoption because of the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 allowing abortion to be legal. Knowing that there is a baby out there that can be easily dismissed is heart-wrenching to a woman that wants nothing more than to be a mother but does not have the means.
Even animals feel the hard tug on their heartstrings when they lose a baby to miscarriage or still-birth. Many female animals will do whatever it takes to be able to feel the tug of the nipple or to simply snuggle up against the most unlikely of babies in order to become a mother of one type or another. There is actually a recent case in California at the Helen Woodward Animal Center depicting this very scenario. If you look deeply into your heart, you will be able to see the extreme need that this female canine has and the love she is willing to give to relieve her broken heart.
While you may or may not believe in Pro-Life, you do have to admit the importance of parenting. Abortion should NOT be used as a means of birth control and unfortunately the mass majority of women that abort their child are using the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade for just this purpose, breaking the hearts of the women out there craving to be a mother!
As stated on the Right to Life Site (www.rtl.org), "When asked about their primary reason for seeking an abortion, less than 1% of women said it was because of rape, less than 1% due to incest, 4% listed their health and 3% said the health of their child. Interestingly, the poll indicates Americans don't understand that the vast majority of abortions are performed for social and economic reasons, not the so-called "hard cases." The poll shows 57% support keeping abortion legal in all or most cases, yet 57% also say abortions should be illegal if the reason is to end an "unwanted pregnancy."
So, please, all of you out there with an unwanted pregnancy, think about all the women that want to be mammas. Don't give up, there is help out there – just look at the case of the dog mother in California. If you think that that bond is strong, you will be pleasantly surprised to see what a human connection is like!

Genesis 8:11 – Did the Dove Really Find an Olive Tree?
From the time the waters of the Flood commenced, until Noah and his family set foot on dry land, they were in the great ark for a period of one year and ten days (Gen. 7:11; 8:14).The entire earth had been covered with water (Gen. 7:19; cf. 2 Pet. 3:6).
This cataclysm was not a local inundation — a mere Mesopotamian mud-puddle, as it were — in spite of the uncertainty of some Christian writers regarding this matter.(See: John Willis, Genesis, p. 174.)The Flood of Noah's day was a global deluge.
As the waters of the Flood receded, Noah sent out birds to test the water-level.First he sent a raven, and then later a dove.The second time he dispatched the dove, it returned with an olive leaf in its beak.Note the precise reading of the text.
"[A]nd the dove came in to him at eventide: and lo, in her mouth an olive-leaf plucked off..." (8:11).
But how, the critic wants to know, could the dove have plucked a fresh olive leaf from a tree that, a week earlier (8:10), had been totally submerged in water?
The answer is simple — the olive tree can flourish under water.One scholar observes: "It is a remarkable fact, as bearing indirect testimony to this narrative, that the olive has been ascertained to bear leaves under water" (Alfred Edersheim, Bible History, I, p. 47).
Several years ago, this writer personally observed a young olive tree, fully leafed and completely immersed, thriving in a northern California mountain stream.
And so, underline "olive-leaf" in Genesis 8:11, and marginally note: The Olive tree can leaf under water — the Bible is accurate!

On This Week, Paul Krugman Slams Trump's "Incoherent" Economic Policies
Video ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Loading the player reg...
Loading the player reg...
Over the course of the 2016 presidential primary, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has laid forth a series of problematic policy proposals and statements -- ranging from his plan to ban Muslims from entering the United States to his suggestion that the United States default on debt -- that media have warned to be "dangerous," "fact-free," "unconstitutional," "contradictory," "racist," and "xenophobic." Media Matters compiled an extensive list of Trump's widely panned policy plans thus far along with the debunks and criticism from media figures, experts and fact-checkers that go along with them.
Politico reported that Donald Trump is tapping conservative economic pundits Stephen Moore and Larry Kudlow to assist in remaking the presumptive Republican nominee's tax plan, which has been lambasted as a budget-busting giveaway to high-income earners and corporations. Media should be aware that both Moore and Kudlow have long histories of playing fast and loose with the facts while making outlandish and incorrect claims about the economy.
Analysts Explain That Real Estate Gimmicks Don't Work For The American Economy
During a lengthy phone interview with CNBC, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump outlined a plan to partially default on the United States' outstanding sovereign debt obligations in hopes of eventually negotiating lower rates of repayment. The tactic is common in the types of commercial real estate dealings Trump is familiar with, but journalists and financial analysts stressed that employing such a strategy with American debt would undermine global financial stability and potentially drive the American economy into a deep recession.
Krugman: "The Same People Now Hyping The Terrorist Danger" Of Syrian Refugees In Right-Wing Media Also Hyped The "Greatly Exaggerated" Ebola Scare Of 2014
The New York Times' Paul Krugman called out right-wing media's baseless anxiety about Syrian refugees and "exaggerated" panic over the threat of a terrorist attack as the latest example of the "apocalyptic mind-set that has developed among Republicans during the Obama years."
In a November 20 column, Krugman observed that Fox News contributor Erick Erickson's "bizarre" threat not to "see the new 'Star Wars' movie on opening day, because 'there are no metal detectors at American theaters'" is "part of a larger pattern" of right-wing panic.
Right-wing media reacted to the November 13 ISIS-led attacks on Paris and elsewhere with sweeping and unfounded claims that President Obama's anti-terror response is endangering U.S national security, with some on Fox even claiming that he has "Islamic sympathies." Others vilified Syrian refugees and defended calls for religious litmus tests, only accepting Christian refugees, on the basis that "Muslims might blow us up."
Krugman noted that among conservatives "[t]hese days, panic attacks after something bad happens are the rule rather than the exception." He attributed this epidemic to the "apocalyptic mind-set that has developed among Republicans during the Obama years": "Think about it. From the day Mr. Obama took office, his political foes have warned about imminent catastrophe. Fiscal crisis! Hyperinflation! Economic collapse, brought on by the scourge of health insurance!" Krugman recalled right-wing media's "great Ebola scare of 2014," which featured assertions that President Obama would expose American troops to Ebola to "atone for colonialism." While the "threat of pandemic, like the threat of a terrorist attack, was real," he wrote, "it was greatly exaggerated, thanks in large part to hype from the same people now hyping the terrorist danger." All of this overblown fearmongering is, Krugman concludes, "what the right is all about:
Erick Erickson, the editor in chief of the website RedState.com, is a serious power in right-wing circles. Speechifying at RedState's annual gathering is a rite of passage for aspiring Republican politicians, and Mr. Erickson made headlines this year when he disinvited Donald Trump from the festivities.
So it's worth paying attention to what Mr. Erickson says. And as you might guess, he doesn't think highly of President Obama's antiterrorism policies.
Still, his response to the attack in Paris was a bit startling. The French themselves are making a point of staying calm, indeed of going out to cafesto show that they refuse to be intimidated. But Mr. Erickson declared on his website that he won't be going to see the new "Star Wars" movie on opening day, because "there are no metal detectors at American theaters."
It's a bizarre reaction -- but when you think about it, it's part of a larger pattern. These days, panic attacks after something bad happens are the rule rather than the exception, at least on one side of the political divide.
But we shouldn't really be surprised, because we've seen this movie before (unless we were too scared to go to the theater). Remember the great Ebola scare of 2014? The threat of a pandemic, like the threat of a terrorist attack, was real. But it was greatly exaggerated, thanks in large part to hype from the same people now hyping the terrorist danger.
What's more, the supposed "solutions" were similar, too, in their combination of cruelty and stupidity. Does anyone remember Mr. Trump declaring that "the plague will start and spread" in America unless we immediately stopped all plane flights from infected countries? Or the fact that Mitt Romney took a similar position? As it turned out, public health officials knew what they were doing, and Ebola quickly came under control -- but it's unlikely that anyone on the right learned from the experience.
What explains the modern right's propensity for panic? Part of it, no doubt, is the familiar point that many bullies are also cowards. But I think it's also linked to the apocalyptic mind-set that has developed among Republicans during the Obama years.
Think about it. From the day Mr. Obama took office, his political foes have warned about imminent catastrophe. Fiscal crisis! Hyperinflation! Economic collapse, brought on by the scourge of health insurance! And nobody on the right dares point out the failure of the promised disasters to materialize, or suggest a more nuanced approach.
The context also explains why Beltway insiders were so foolish when they imagined that the Paris attacks would deflate Donald Trump's candidacy, that Republican voters would turn to establishment candidates who are serious about national security. Who, exactly, are these serious candidates? And why would the establishment, which has spent years encouraging the base to indulge its fears and reject nuance, now expect that base to understand the difference between tough talk and actual effectiveness?
Media figures and editorial boards are calling out the "political fakery" of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, criticizing it as a "laughable crusade" against Clinton rather than a legitimate investigation into the Benghazi attacks, after two congressmen and an ex-committee staffer admitted to the partisan nature of the committee.
The New York Times' Paul Krugman called out the media's fraudulent coverage of the Benghazi committee and Hillary Clinton's email use, for treating the non-scandals as "real debates about national security or economics even when it's both obvious and easy to show that nothing of the kind is actually taking place."
In an October 9 column, Krugman observed that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy "inadvertently did the nation a big favor with his ill-advised honesty" when he bragged about the Benghazi committee's success in "inflicting political damage on Hillary Clinton," exposing how the Fox News manufactured Benghazi hearings "had nothing to do with national security."
Krugman called out media figures who cover topics such as the Benghazi hearings and Clinton's use of email for pretending "that we're having real debates about national security or economics even when it's both obvious and easy to show that nothing of the kind is actually taking place," calling it a "kind of fraudulence":
So Representative Kevin McCarthy, who was supposed to succeed John Boehner as speaker of the House, won't be pursuing the job after all. He would have faced a rough ride both winning the post and handling it under the best of circumstances, thanks to the doomsday caucus -- the fairly large bloc of Republicans demanding that the party cut off funds to Planned Parenthood, or kill Obamacare, or anyway damage something liberals like, by shutting down the government and forcing it into default.
Still, he finished off his chances by admitting -- boasting, actually -- that the endless House hearings on Benghazi had nothing to do with national security, that they were all about inflicting political damage on Hillary Clinton.
But we all knew that, didn't we?
I often wonder about commentators who write about things like those hearings as if there were some real issue involved, who keep going on about the Clinton email controversy as if all these months of scrutiny had produced any evidence of wrongdoing, as opposed to sloppiness.
Surely they have to know better, whether they admit it to themselves or not. And surely the long history of Clinton nonscandals and retracted allegations -- remember, there never was anything to the Whitewater accusations -- should serve as a cautionary tale.
Somehow, though, politicians who pretend to be concerned about issues, but are obviously just milking those issues for political gain, keep getting a free pass. And it's not just a Clinton story.
Again, none of this should come as news to anyone who follows politics and policy even moderately closely. But I'm not sure that normal people, who have jobs to do and families to raise, are getting the message. After all, who will tell them?
Sometimes I have the impression that many people in the media consider it uncouth to acknowledge, even to themselves, the fraudulence of much political posturing. The done thing, it seems, is to pretend that we're having real debates about national security or economics even when it's both obvious and easy to show that nothing of the kind is actually taking place.
But turning our eyes away from political fakery, pretending that we're having a serious discussion when we aren't, is itself a kind of fraudulence. Mr. McCarthy inadvertently did the nation a big favor with his ill-advised honesty, but telling the public what's really going on shouldn't depend on politicians with loose lips.
As likely Republican candidates for president continue to struggle with the legacy of the Iraq War, and specifically with the question of whether they would have authorized a similar invasion if they had been president at the time, it's important to remember the media's role in the foreign policy failure. At a time of heightened patriotic fervor, the national press played a crucial role in helping to sell President George W. Bush's war to the public in 2003.
There were some key, praiseworthy exceptions, but in general the Beltway press failed badly during the run-up to the war. It's a fact that shouldn't be forgotten as politicians today grapple with the past.
Below is an excerpt from my book, Lapdogs: How The Press Rolled Over For Bush. (Note: "MSM" is shorthand for mainstream media.)
Battered by accusations of a liberal bias and determined to prove their conservative critics wrong, the press during the run-up to the war -- timid, deferential, unsure, cautious, and often intentionally unthinking -- came as close as possible to abdicating its reason for existing in the first place, which is to accurately inform citizens, particularly during times of great national interest. Indeed, the MSM's failings were all the more important because of the unusually influential role they played in advance of the war-of-choice with Iraq.
"When America has been attacked -- at Pearl Harbor, or as on September 11 -- the government needed merely to tell the people that it was our duty to respond, and the people rightly conferred their authority," noted Harold Meyerson in the American Prospect magazine. "But a war of choice is a different matter entirely. In that circumstance, the people will ask why. The people will need to be convinced that their sons and daughters and husbands and wives should go halfway around the world to fight a nemesis that they didn't really know was a nemesis."
It's not fair to suggest the MSM alone convinced Americans to send some sons and daughter to fight. But the press went out of its way to tell a pleasing, administration-friendly tale about the pending war. In truth, Bush never could have ordered the invasion of Iraq -- never could have sold the idea at home -- if it weren't for the help he received from the MSM, and particularly the stamp of approval he received from so-called liberal media institutions such as the Washington Post, which in February of 2003 alone, editorialized in favor of war nine times. (Between September 2002 and February 2003, the paper editorialized twenty-six times in favor of the war.)
The Post had plenty of company from the liberal East Coast media cabal, with high-profile columnists and editors -- the newfound liberal hawks -- at the New Yorker, Newsweek, Time, the New York Times, the New Republic and elsewhere all signing on for a war of preemption. By the time the invasion began, the de facto position among the Beltway chattering class was clearly one that backed Bush and favored war.
Years later the New York Times Magazine wrote that most "journalists in Washington found it almost inconceivable, even during the period before a fiercely contested midterm election [in 2002], that the intelligence used to justify the war might simply be invented." Hollywood peace activists could conceive it, but serious Beltway journalists could not? That's hard to believe. More likely journalists could conceive it but, understanding the MSM unspoken guidelines -- both social and political -- were too timid to express it at the time of war.
To oppose the invasion vocally was to be outside the media mainstream and to invite scorn. Like some nervous Democratic members of Congress right before the war, MSM journalists and pundits seemed to scramble for political cover so as to not subject themselves to conservative catcalls.
"Spurious" Attacks Over Reagan Legacy
Right-wing publicist and author Craig Shirley doesn't like a new book about Ronald Reagan written by award-winning (and liberal) historian Rick Perlstein. So the conservative publicist has threatened to sue for $25 million in damages and has asked for all copies of the book to be "destroyed," claiming that with Invisible Bridge: The Fall Of Richard Nixon And The Rise of Ronald Reagan, Perlstein's guilty of plagiarism for paraphrasing facts Shirley had previously reported in his own book about Reagan.
But of course, paraphrasing is not the basis for copyright infringement and that's certainly not what constitutes plagiarism.
Reviewing the supposed examples of infringement cited by Shirley's lawyers, Jesse Walker, books editor for the libertarian Reason magazine, concludes:
Facts are not copyrightable, and one pair of similar sentences does not an infringement make. I don't see a dollar's worth of damages here, let alone 25 million.
Instead, the attack on Perlstein seems to be more about partisan politics and the clash over who gets to write the history of Reagan and less to do with allegations of misappropriating work. (Perlstein references Shirley's work in the Invisible Bridge acknowledgements and cites Shirley more than 100 times in the book's online endnotes.) Conservatives have previously showered Perlstein's conservative-movement books in praise, but, "this time Perlstein is writing about Ronald Reagan. Goldwater, Nixon, Reagan--Perlstein has moved from covering a minor saint, to a martyr, to God," as Slate's Dave Weigel explains.
Nonetheless, with an unfortunate assist from the New York Times this week, which helped legitimize the dubious plagiarism allegation via a he-said/he-said accounting of the controversy, Shirley's attention-grabbing accusation has received a wider airing. Indeed, the Times article insists Shirley's dubious claim of plagiarism effectively "casts a shadow over the release" of Invisible Bridge, which is precisely the storyline movement conservatives want to create this week. (Separately, the Times, in a glowing review, recently labeled the book an "epic work.")
The Times' misguided new coverage seemed to draw a rebuke from the paper's own Paul Krugman. Denouncing the Perlstein smear campaign as a "grotesque" "sliming," and dismissing the plagiarism charges as "spurious," Krugman stressed that in cases where professional reputations are attacked via unsubstantiated claims, "this tactic should be punctured by the press, not given momentum with "opinions differ on shape of the planet" reporting."
And that's precisely what the Times dispatch failed to do in this instance.
Just three weeks ago the Associated Press reported the Obama administration needed "something close to a miracle" in order to "meet its goal" of enrolling six million people into private health care plans via the Affordable Care Act before the looming April 1 deadline arrived.
The article's premise was telling in that it focused on what the political fallout would be if Obamacare sign-ups fell short. Noticeably absent was any analysis of what an Obamacare deadline success would look like or what the political implications would be. The scenario of success simply wasn't considered plausible or worth addressing.
Of course, we now know that as many as seven million people enrolled for private coverage through the exchanges established by Obama's health care law. Thanks to an amazing consumer surge in the month of March, the seven million mark, routinely thought of last year as completely unattainable, and often dismissed this year as not possible, was met.
And because of a provision of the Obamacare law, approximately three million young people have been added to their parents' private insurance plans. Meaning, more than 10 million people have used Obamacare to secure health coverage. The new law, noted the Los Angeles Times, "has spurred the largest expansion in health coverage in America in half a century." The paper reported, "At least 9.5 million previously uninsured people have gotten health insurance since Obamacare started."
Take a look at this revealing chart from CNNMoney.com and what the future of health care coverage under Obamacare might look like:
Given all of that, where's the heated coverage of the miraculous Obamacare comeback? Aside from the Times and CNNMoney pieces, I'm hard pressed to find many recent media examples that laud the health care achievement with the same unrestrained vigor that the press employed for weeks and months depicting Obamacare as an historic failure and one that could ruin Obama's presidency, and perhaps even the Democratic Party. (Remember, Obamacare "may be Obama's Katrina, Iraq War.")
Is Obamacare now a model of government efficiency? It is not. The initial rollout, without qualification, was a failure. And lots of major hurdles still loom. But the remarkable success of the enrollment figures has clearly failed to produce the type of media response that Obamacare's remarkable failure ignited last year.
So the larger media coverage question is, has the press been wed for so long to the Republican-friendly narrative of a broken and doomed Obamacare system that journalists are refusing to adjust the storyline as crucial new facts emerge?
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman called out the media's disastrous reporting on the employment impact of Obamacare.
On February 4, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released its 10-year economic projections, including an estimate of how the Affordable Care Act will impact the job market, an estimate that set off a storm of reaction. The CBO projected that the Affordable Care Act will allow workers to choose to work less hours because they will be able to maintain health insurance coverage outside of employment. Instead of reporting on the CBO's actual findings, media outlets seized on this information to falsely claim that the ACA would cost the economy millions of lost jobs.
Appearing on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, economist Paul Krugman called the misleading reporting "media malpractice":
In a February 6 New York Times column, Krugman explained that the misreporting of the CBO's projections is part of a "campaign against health reform" that has "grabbed hold of any and every argument it could find against insuring the uninsured, with truth and logic never entering into the matter":
Why was this unhelpful? Because politicians and, I'm sorry to say, all too many news organizations immediately seized on the 2 million number and utterly misrepresented its meaning. For example, Representative Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, quickly posted this on his Twitter account: "Under Obamacare, millions of hardworking Americans will lose their jobs and those who keep them will see their hours and wages reduced."
So was Mr. Cantor being dishonest? Or was he just ignorant of the policy basics and unwilling to actually read the report before trumpeting his misrepresentation of what it said? It doesn't matter -- because even if it was ignorance, it was willful ignorance. Remember, the campaign against health reform has, at every stage, grabbed hold of any and every argument it could find against insuring the uninsured, with truth and logic never entering into the matter.
Think about it. We had the nonexistent death panels. We had false claims that the Affordable Care Act will cause the deficit to balloon. We had supposed horror stories about ordinary Americans facing huge rate increases, stories that collapsed under scrutiny. And now we have a fairly innocuous technical estimate misrepresented as a tale of massive economic damage.
Meanwhile, the reality is that American health reform -- flawed and incomplete though it is -- is making steady progress. No, millions of Americans won't lose their jobs, but tens of millions will gain the security of knowing that they can get and afford the health care they need.
Fox News' Greta Van Susteren pushed the right-wing talking point that regulation is "strangling" small businesses on Sunday, ignoring reports that have repeatedly debunked her theory.
On ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Van Susteren got into a debate with Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman over the effect that government regulation has on small businesses and the American job market. Though Krugman pointed out that Van Susteren's assertion is not backed up by the data, Van Susteren refused to give his explanation credence.
VAN SUSTEREN: We're strangling small businesses. I mean, you know everyone -- no one's paying much attention to these small businesses. The regulations that are strangling them, some of them are laughable and silly, but they have a profound impact on the job creators, those who are making jobs. They can't afford to hire people.
KRUGMAN: There's been tons, there's been tons of work on this. And what's holding small business back is not regulations, it's just the fact that they don't have sales.
VAN SUSTEREN: It's not all, it's some of it, some of it.
KRUGMAN: It's not. There's no correlation, looking across, you know which parts of the economy do small businesses complain about regulations and which don't they. There's no correlation between that and actual job creation.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Is there one exception perhaps, on the health care, where, firms that are greater than 50 people, have to pay more and that don't you see some firms cutting off at 49?
KRUGMAN: You really -- there might be. but you can't see that in the numbers. The overwhelming fact of the matter--
VAN SUSTEREN: Well If you talk to them, instead of looking at just the numbers, why don't you sit down and talk to these people, lot of them are struggling with this. They don't understand a lot of those things that happen. They don't understand a lot of the things that are happening in Washington. They're very cautious because they see a real dismal economy out there. And that doesn't --
KRUGMAN: If you actually talk to them, that's not what they say.
Despite Van Susteren's claims, Krugman's position has a strong foundation in official economic data as well as less formal anecdotes and survey responses from business owners.
Investment data refutes Susteren's claim that high regulatory environments tend to suppress growth. An Economic Policy Institute (EPI) analysis of the past four economic recoveries found that the slowest growth actually occurred during the deregulatory Bush administration:
Web News Experts: Bogus Krugman Story Shows Dangers of "Mechanical Aggregation"
The bogus story that New York Times columnist Paul Krugman had filed for bankruptcy appeared on Boston.com, the sister website of The Boston Globe, through a third-party content provider that posts content without editorial approval and provides such content to more than 200 web outlets.
That provider, meanwhile, took the story from an Austrian-based blog without any editorial review or fact-checking of its own, a practice that is becoming more and more common in the Internet content sharing world. The blog has since deleted its post and all posts from the author appear to have been removed from Boston.com.
The false story, which had its roots in a satire by the website Daily Currant, was subsequently picked up by the conservative site Breitbart.com, a move later criticized by Krugman himself and numerous news outlets from The Atlantic to Politico. Breitbart.com has deleted the post, with its author blaming Boston.com, which he says he "trusted" for the story.
But according to Boston.com, they played no role in the creation of that post, an editorial mechanism which troubles some observers.
Ron Agrella, editor of Boston.com, said the item was placed on his site by the content provider financialcontent.com on March 7, without approval or review from either Boston.com or the Globe.
He said he reached out to financialcontent.com at roughly 9 a.m. EDT today to have the item removed. It was removed at 11:34 a.m. EDT.
"The reason why we partner with them is to provide stock data," Agrella explained Monday, just hours after the item was taken down. "That is why we contract with them. The stories are additional content provided on the side. We have partnered with them for 10 or 12 years."
Financialcontent.com had picked up the item from an Austria-based business blog, Prudent Investor, without any editorial review of its own, according to financialcontent.com CEO Wing Yu.
"We are a technology company, we don't have an editorial desk," Yu explained. "There is an RSS feed that we parse from each content provider. We have categorized [Prudent Investor] as a business content provider and the content is syndicated along with the byline."
YU said Prudent Investor is one of more than 400 content providers that financialcontent.com draws on for news and data, which it then forwards to some 200 news outlets such as Boston.com, as well as others owned by McClatchy, Media News Group and AOL.
The Prudent Investor website is based in Vienna, Austria, and run by Toni Straka, who describes himself on the blog as "an INDEPENDENT Certified Financial Analyst who worked as a financial journalist for 15+ years and now evaluate global market trends."
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Nobel-Prize winning economist Paul Krugman will appear on PBS' Charlie Rose on March 4, following weeks of their high-profile dispute over the proper policy response to two competing problems: historically high unemployment and historically high public debt.
After Scarborough hosted Krugman on the January 28 edition of Morning Joe, he wrote an op-ed for Politico that characterized Krugman as a solitary dovish voice on near-term debt. Over the ensuing weeks, the two sniped at one another, with Scarborough continuing his effort to marginalize Krugman, misrepresenting Krugman's colleagues in the process.
Both economic data and the consensus among economists support Krugman's side of the debate. Still, Scarborough has labeled the economist a 'debt denier,' and deflected fact-based criticism with jokes about "bloggers eating Cheetos" and "skewed graphs liberals make up on their mom's PowerPoint." Given that their debate has at times produced more heat than light, here are five things that host Charlie Rose must take care to include in his show tonight:
1. Debt Levels Are Stable For The Coming Decade.
The Congressional Budget Office says that the ratio of public debt to GDP will hold steady through the coming ten years, even without changes to current law:
The stable near-term debt outlook undermines the common claim of a "debt crisis" that requires immediate austerity.
2. Austerity Is Already Placing An Enormous Drag On Economic Growth.
Government consumption and investment has decreased nearly 5 percent over the past two years. Cuts have shrunk the public sector by a net 712,000 jobs not since the recession began, but since it ended in mid-2009. And the macroeconomic data are clear: the government's declining consumption is a drag on GDP growth.
3. A Wide Range Of Economists Agree With Krugman That Short-Term Deficits Are Not A Priority With Economic Output Lagging.
Scarborough's January op-ed in Politico claimed that "almost all mainstream economists" disagree with Krugman; this is not true, and an accurate representation of expert opinion would improve the conversation.
As Media Matters has shown, it is not just center and center-left economists like Richard Koo, Mark Thoma, Brad DeLong, Jared Bernstein, Dean Baker, Henry Aaron, Alan Blinder and Larry Summers who agree with Krugman that short-term deficit reduction is a bad idea with economic output so far behind its potential. It's also John Makin of the conservative American Enterprise Institute, The Wall Street Journal's Rex Nutting, former Reagan budget adviser Bruce Bartlett, and others who Scarborough might count as natural allies. Makin's prescription for how we ought to run large deficits is anathema to progressives, of course, but economists across the spectrum agree that we can and should float just a few more years of large deficits, in order to grow the economy.
4. Economists Say The Best Way To Solve Long-Term Debt Issues Is To Invest In Growth Now, While Borrowing Is Cheap.
Economic growth is the key to managing the debt. It is unusually cheap for the government to borrow money right now to finance such growth -- in some cases interest rates are negative, meaning the markets are basically paying us to borrow from them. The CBO finds economic output is $1 trillion behind what it should be, which is why so many economists take Krugman's side in calling for fiscal stimulus. The first CBO report to account for the "fiscal cliff" tax deal reinforced this position, as Nutting wrote in The Wall Street Journal's MarketWatch: "the CBO gently hinted that the government should run higher deficits for the next four years to boost economic growth and job creation, and then start reducing the deficit in earnest in 2017 when the economy is fully healed." Any conversation about fiscal policy that fails to note these facts is inherently misrepresentative.
5. President Obama And Congress Have Already Enacted $2.4 Trillion In Deficit Reduction Since The Start Of FY2011.
Although Scarborough blamed "a Keynesian spending spree" for a slowdown in economic growth late last year, the reality is that the President and Congress have passed laws that reduce deficits by approximately $2,400,000,000,000 over the 10-year budget window.
The media frequently fail to acknowledge existing deficit reduction, but it is real and it is important to the ongoing conversation about fiscal policy.
Warnings From Economists Like Paul Krugman Consistently Overlooked
Media outlets have focused heavily on the topics of deficits and debt, while largely ignoring economic growth during their coverage of the debt ceiling debate. However, experts agree that the need for growth is more pressing than problems of debt, and that growth itself can be a deficit reduction tactic.
A Media Matters study of television coverage over the past three weeks found that while pundits and guests focused heavily on discussing the debt ceiling, the topic of economic growth was sorely lacking. Of the total 273 segments analyzed, only 33 mentioned economic growth.
Instead of touching upon economic growth, Media Matters found that guests and hosts spent most of their discussions focusing on other issues, such as the role of entitlement spending and political leverage in negotiations between parties.
While the debt ceiling issue is certainly important - and failing to raise it would have a negative impact on the overall economy - many economists have eschewed the focus on debt, arguing instead that economic growth should be the primary concern.
Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman has long argued that the media and political focus on debt is misguided, and that recent increases in debt were necessary to prevent the economy from entering another recession. Jared Bernstein, senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, further argues that the focus on deficits and debt distracts policymakers from the very real problem of sustained high unemployment and a weak economy.
In fact, Krugman echoed Bernstein's point on the January 28 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:

Prosecutors said Saturday they have overwhelming evidence tying a former Marine from Florida to the death of young mother whose body was discovered in the woods on Long Island.
Dante Taylor, 19, was arraigned Saturday at Suffolk County District Court after being charged with second-degree murder in connection with Sarah Goode's death. The 21-year-old medical technician disappeared in early June under what police called "suspicious circumstances." During a dayslong search, investigators found her car with no signs of a crash before a volunteer search party discovered her body in a thickly wooded area in a residential community of Medford.
At his arraignment, Assistant District Attorney Janet Albertson said Goode had been raped, beaten and had her hair cut off when it was closed in the window of her car. She said Goode suffered "sharp force trauma" about her head and body. Albertson told a judge that Taylor used such force that a piece of metal was found embedded in her skull. Authorities have not released Goode's cause of death.
Albertson said investigators found a bloody palm print – belonging to Taylor – on the hood of Goode's car. They also have DNA evidence and cell phone records that place Taylor in the same location as the young mother after she had been reported missing, Albertson said. Police have not said whether the two knew each other.
The prosecutors told Judge Karen Wilutis that a grand jury was ready to hear the case and she expected an indictment could be handed up early this week. Albertson said prosecutors would seek to upgrade the charge against Taylor to first-degree murder. He has also been charged with first-degree attempted rape in connection with a separate incident that occurred in 2011, officials said.
Suffolk County Police Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer said at a Saturday afternoon news conference that detectives developed information in the rape case while investigating Goode's murder. He said "the entire case" had developed during the Goode investigation, which led police to obtain a warrant for Taylor's arrest. He was taken into custody in front of his Vero Beach, Fla., home last Thursday and waived extradition to New York.
Taylor's defense lawyer, Patrick O'Connell declined to comment on the case other than saying his client has "heartfelt sympathies" for Goode's loved ones. Taylor would not say anything he was led out of a police station Saturday morning in handcuffs. His mother and brother, who attended the arraignment, also declined to comment.
Goode's sister, Elizabeth DeMuria, said the family received a call around 1 a.m. Saturday informing them an arrest had been made in the case. They had not heard the details of what happened to Goode until prosecutors told the judge during the arraignment. Goode's aunt, Patricia Urizzo, called Taylor was a "heartless, most vicious monster," who left Goode's 4-year-old without a mother.

The munificent and talented musical firm of Rinehart, Rinehart and Bolt is up to its old (and heartening) tricks again. The Needtobreathe boys – along with fellow musicians, professional athletes and golf enthusiasts – announced March 14 that they're getting together again on Tuesday, May 20 for this year's "release" of the Needtobreathe Classic presented by Commonwealth Cares Foundation.
In between sold-out shows and gearing up for the April 15 release of their best-seller-to be "Rivers In The Wasteland," Bear, Bo and Seth are back with a diverse collection of wannabe linksters for the annual golf tournament benefiting Charleston area nonprofit Palmetto Medical Initiative ("PMI").
The South Carolina-based rockers are aiming to better the more than $100,000 they helped raise through last year's tournament. And they're sure to have plenty of help if last year's roster of celebrity duffers is any indication, including musicians, actors, former NFL and NCAA football coaches, hordes of professional athletes – and maybe even a professional golfer or two.
The nonprofit Initiative certainly puts the resources to good use, building sustainable medical clinics around the world, including Uganda and Nicaragua. This year's tournament proceeds will benefit another East African clinic in Uganda, with work slated to begin in January 2015.
Bear Rinehart acknowledged the importance of PMI's mission in the press release. "Investing in something bigger than oneself and one's talents is something we all have a quiet desire for but rarely get to experience."
"My trip to Uganda with PMI in December 2011 was a small glimpse into the critical needs and important work that PMI is undertaking. PMI has done a brilliant job of not only asking the right questions, but also finding and committing to answers that work."
PMI used the proceeds from last year's Classic to construct a medical clinic in El Viejo, Nicaragua, which was dedicated in January 2014. The organization recently announced plans to expand its remarkable efforts into Burundi.
Registration is now open for the Needtobreathe Classic at http://www.commonwealthcares.org/needtobreathe-classic

A year ago, the University of Oregon softball team embarked on the 2003 season with minimal expectations, a new coach and an uncertainty as to where its season would go.
What a difference a year makes.
As the Ducks enter the 2004 season they have the knowledge of just how high they can soar. A return trip to the NCAA Regionals in 2003, a third-place Pac-10 finish and one of the most exciting postseason runs in the history of the program has elevated the expectations and goals for second-year Head Coach Kathy Arendsen and her team.

Brathwaite Reaching His Dream
Shane Brathwaite has had a breakout 2012 season for the No. 8 Red Raiders.
Texas Tech Open Schedule | Texas Tech Open Preview.
April 13, 2012
by Holly Kitten
Shane Brathwaite was just six years old when he saw the summer Olympics on television for the first time. He watched with wide eyes as a member of the Barbados team ran the 200 meter dash.
"Seeing somebody from my country at that level," he said, "I really wanted to be that person."
The Texas Tech senior has experienced a breakout season this year. After transferring from Central Arizona Junior College, he has exceled in not one, but four events for the Tech program - the 110 meter hurdles, the 400 meter hurdles, the 4x100 meter relay, and the 4x400 meter relay.
Head coach Wes Kittley said that level of involvement makes Brathwaite a key element to his squad.
"He's on everything," Kittley said. "He's such a valuable asset to our team."
Brathwaite competed in multiple events when he was younger, too. In 2007, he represented Barbados at the World Youth Championships, where he won the Octathlon. The following year, he competed in the World Juniors Championships, and in 2009, he ran in the Pan American Games, where he earned a bronze medal in the 110 meter hurdles.
Brathwaite's success has continued throughout his college career. He earned All-American honors in three events at Central Arizona, and in two events during the 2011 outdoor season at Tech. He also had 13 top-10 finishes during his 2011 indoor season.
The 2011 fall conditioning season was Brathwaite's first at Tech, and it has really made a difference in Brathwaite's recent performances.
"He got to go under our fall program, and you're seeing it this spring," Kittley said. "We're real proud of what he's done so far."
His teammates aided in his improvement, too, Brathwaite said.
"Jamele (Mason) and Gil (Roberts) helped me a lot," he said. "They both work really hard. They're great training partners."
Brathwaite said he enjoys running with those two, because they have the same goal he does: to qualify for the Olympic trials; Brathwaite for Barbados, Mason for Puerto Rico, and Roberts for the U.S.
"We all go out there and work really hard at it," Brathwaite said. "Hopefully, the times will show and we can make the team."
His times have already earned him some spotlight. Brathwaite ran a 13.43 in the 110 meter hurdles at the Texas Relays on March 31. Not only was it a personal best, but it also ranked him No. 2 in the country, and qualified him for the Barbados Olympic trials in a B standard.
"I'm really excited," he said. "That's why I am working hard this season to be as good as I can."
Until his Olympic trial dreams can be fulfilled, he has other goals to focus on, though - like qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships and making the finals in both the 110 meter hurdles and 400 meter hurdles.
"Once you make finals," he said, "anything is possible."
Brathwaite said he is excited about the relays' prospects, too. The 4x100 meter relay team earned a fourth place finish at the Texas Relays, with a time of 39.23, the second-fastest time in school history. The squad consists of Roberts, Markus Henderson, Brathwaite, and Isaiah Gill and currently ranks No. 6 in the country.
"We have a really strong team," Brathwaite said.
After resting during last week's meet at LSU, Brathwaite said he is ready to get back on the track and compete Saturday at the Texas Tech Open. After all, each meet brings a new opportunity to improve his times and get closer to his ultimate dream.
Who knows? Starry-eyed children may be watching Brathwaite on television this summer, competing for his native country in the 2012 Olympics.

Doss, who had 65 catches for 698 yards and eight touchdowns, was the only Jaguars player named to the All-Southwestern Athletic Conference first team. Advocate staff report Comments Southern wide receiver Lee Doss didn't get everything he wanted this season. He didn't lead the Southwestern Athletic Conference in receiving yards or touchdowns. He and the Jaguars fell way short of winning the Western Division. And now, they're waiting to learn the identity of their next football coach. Still, Doss had a nice year for himself. Tuesday, voters rewarded him with a spot on the All-SWAC first team. Doss, a former walk-on from St. Augustine High in New Orleans, led the conference with 5.9 receptions per game. He also ranked second with eight touchdowns. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound junior led the Jaguars with 65 catches for 698 yards. Junior quarterback Dray Joseph easily led the SWAC in passing yards (2,511) and touchdown passes (25), but failed to make the first team. That honor went instead to Arkansas-Pine Bluff quarterback Ben Anderson (2,121 yards, 15 touchdown passes). Joseph was a second-team selection. So, too, were three other Jaguars: senior offensive lineman Chris Browne, junior cornerback Virgil Williams and junior linebacker Anthony Balancier. Browne, a Cleveland native, was a four-year starter at left tackle. Williams, a Shreveport native, had 62 tackles and two pass breakups; he also had 427 yards as a kickoff and punt returner. Balancier, another former walk-on from McDonogh 35 High in New Orleans, led the Jaguars with 68 tackles. He also had 41/2 sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Interview with the Vampire
by Anne Rice
Interview with the Vampire Resources
Anne Rice is very active online, communicating often with her People of the Page (this is what she calls her fans), and even posting videos… like that time she arrived at a book signing inside a coffin.
There is a special section of Anne Rice's webpage just for Interview with the Vampire. Its discussion questions are even more in depth than ours. Definitely something to sink your fangs into.
Movie or TV Productions
The 1994 film starred a trio of 90s hunks: Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Antonio Banderas. It also introduced us to a future Mary-Jane Watson and Marie Antoinette: Kirsten Dunst. Anne Rice, by the way, initially hated the casting of the movie. We can picture her saying to Tom Cruise, Get thee behind me, shorty!
Even though the Pitt/Cruise movie still holds up today, there are often talks of a remake. Anne Rice reportedly wants Robert Downey Jr. to star as Lestat.
Articles and Interviews
Anne Rice says she'll never write about vampires again, but she still has a lot to say about how she created them in the first place. Who'd have thought she'd one day replace vampires with angels?
People magazine loves sex and tragedy almost as much as the American public loves vampires. In this interview from 1988, People asks Anne Rice about her personal tragedies and her tragic book. Sex and death together. It's like the interview version of True Blood.
Articles and interviews
How does one woman write something so twisted? Find out by reading this New York Times interview from 1988.
A young Kirsten Dunst acts out the scene in which Claudia demands to know who made her into a vampire. If you thought a five-year-old could throw a temper tantrum, wait until you see what a five-year-old vampire can do.
In this interview with the Interview author (how meta), Anne Rice discusses her journey from writing books to getting published and becoming the queen of vampire lit.
Listen to Tom Cruise and Anne Rice talk about the motivations behind the mysterious Lestat in this series of video interviews. No, Lestat is not a Scientologist.
Get inside Rice's mind with these author interviews, one of which discusses her conflicted vampire creations.
Too many quotations marks in Interview got you down? Listen to the audio version and hear Louis tell you his tale. It's almost like you're the interviewer.
The historic St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 is mentioned in the first part of Interview. Any vampires visiting are the least of your problems. This cemetery is also home to infamous voodoo queen Marie Laveau.

This 3rd birthday construction themed party was such a thrill... especially the "BOB" lovers!
Our construction zone treat table featured (cleaned, of course) toy trucks and upside down builder hats for serving food. Check out our very dumpy chocolate "dirt" cake centerpiece, complete with worms!
The birthday mom came up with lots of great activities tailored for toddlers... An under the bed plastic storage bin filled with rice, toy trucks and shovels made the perfect indoor dig pit. There was a coloring station, a rock bean bag toss, an awesome Bob The Builder photo prop, and a pin the tools on Bob game.
But the bulldozer made from a large appliance box entertained the kids the most! They loved playing inside and popping their heads out the top. And placing the bean bag "rocks" in the big scooper as they pushed the truck around the gym floor. So much fun!!!

I was 18 when my sister Sharon had 16 years old.We were not that close.Then I started to see her in another manner i.e as a gorgeous woman.She had had bloosomed without my noticing that since she was 15.It was like a revelation when I accidently saw her splendid nudity when entering our bathroom which was not locked.She had not seen me.Then I started to wank my cock 2/3 times daily ,thinking of her body.I also sniffed her beautiful wet panties.I was wanting her more and more and finally,it was clear to me that I did not want my sister only sexually,but I had fallen in love with her.I then started to be closer to her,like helping her in her studies or bringing her to the cinema ,hugging her,etc.Seeing that I liked to be with her and was becoming closer and closer to her,she started to tell me some of her secrets,like that she was very shy and several boys wanted to date her but finally they gave up because they thought that she was someone haughty.I told her that it was not their faults and that should try to be bolder and I gave her some hints.It was a torture for me,to be so close to her and not being able to tell her about my feelings for her.Then ,when she was 17 yrs old,one night we went to a dancing party as our parents were out for the weekend and had left a very good sum for our pocket money. It was fabulous for me to dance with her.A lot of boys were looking at her.thus arousing my jealousy.We were dancing a slow cheek to cheek and my heart was beating loud and I felt also her heart's beating.She then asked me if I had a problem or a secret.I told hes "Yes sweetie.but I can't tell you".She answered "Lucas,don't worry,you can tell me anything you have in your heart"I could not hold it anymore and told her about my feelings for her.She held me tightly in her arms and some tears came out of her eyes.I was shocked but she told me"Don't be shocked my beloved Lucas.these are tears of joy.I am also in love with you but I thought that you were just considering me as your baby sister "I then slowly licked her tears with my tongue".Then we went home around 1 in the morning.We then started to frenchkiss each other,taking off our clothes like hungry people.She wore a beautiful black satin panties and bra .Our kisses had the taste of honey and she told me"Darling,I have wanted it so bad that you t be first to take my cherry"I was very gentle when fingering her and she came several times when I played with her clitoris and sucked it.I also sucked her nipples which had become very hard.I then push in my cock in her tight pussy and when I took her cherry,she had a small cry of pain.I slowed down fearing h aving injured herbut she kissed me hungrily and told me that it was marvellous to continue and fuck her harder. She then wrapped her two legs on my back and cried each time she came.It was after the first cum that she started to suck my cock hungrily.We then fucked in all sorts of positions till 5 in the morning.We could not count the number of times we had come.Fortunately,she did not get pregnant on that first time.We then had an appointment with a doctor who prescribed her the necessary pills. We are still in love after two years and our fucks are still divine and like honeymoons.We have never been caught but the only comments we have had from our parents have been"How is it that both of you are still without any partner!!"How long this will last or remain secret,we don't know!But we both hope FOREVER!!!

TUSTIN – Parents of a Tustin middle school student are seeking to change school policy after their son was suspended and told he couldn't attend the school's eighth-grade dance or Disneyland trip.
Suzi Holte says her son, Sammy, was caught "dirty dancing" behind a school staff member on a dare in May. The 14-year-old was suspended from school for three days, and is not allowed to attend the dance Friday night or the Disneyland trip on Monday.
Holte has appealed to Pioneer Middle School officials and to the Tustin Unified School District. She's gathered about 30 letters from other Pioneer parents and delivered them to the district office, asking for a policy that allows adjustments on a case-by-case basis for future students.
"The fact is, this isn't any other dance. There's only one eighth grade promotion dance and it's a huge deal," she said.
Kathie Nielsen, chief academic officer at the Tustin district, said the students are well aware of the consequences.
Pioneer has held three assemblies for the eighth grade class in which students were told that the promotion dance and field trip are privileges earned through good behavior, Nielsen said. The information is also on the permission slips sent home to parents, she said.
"If a student is suspended, they lose that privilege," she said.
Nielsen said district officials denied Holte's appeal.
"We reviewed it and believe the policy has been carried out fairly," Nielsen said.
At least 15 students at Pioneer are not allowed to attend the end-of-year events, Nielsen said. However, the students will be allowed to attend the graduation ceremony.
If students are suspended during the first semester, they also lose dance privileges, Nielsen said.
"This is bigger and more meaningful because it's the end of the year," she said.
Holte agrees, and hopes the district will change its policy in the future.
"My son is going to leave with such a bad taste in his mouth about authority," Holte said.
Sammy, Holte said, is sad but taking it in stride.
"Kids do stupid stuff," she said.

Music Interviews
Mike Doughty Annuls The 'Dark Marriage' Of His Former Band
Mike Doughty spent the 1990s as the gravel-voiced frontman for Soul Coughing. Fusing elements of pop, jazz, hip-hop and house music, the band had a sound all its own — but Doughty says he was never satisfied with it.
"I was a 22-year-old kid in New York, who had sort of grown up in indie rock, and had kind of arrived at this tremendous flowering of hip-hop music and house music and the very beginning of drum-and-bass music," Doughty says. "At the same time, I was working at an avant-garde jazz club ... and so I made a connection between the two and put this band together, that I thought would be the ultra hip-hop, house-music weird band. And it was, to a certain extent. But it became a very musicianly band in a way that I was not crazy about."
Today, Doughty likens Soul Coughing to a "dark marriage," saying he felt deeply unhappy with the group but unable to leave. Since the band's breakup in 2000, he has kept it in his rear-view mirror, touring and recording extensively as a solo artist. But now, he's revisiting the old days — sort of.
For his new album, Doughty has reworked a selection of old Soul Coughing songs, making them sound the way he says they would have sounded back then if he'd been calling the creative shots for the band.
"I guess I was trying to sort of divorce them from the experience," he says, "and try and go back to whoever that kid was — the 22-year-old kid in a bedroom, picking out these songs clumsily on an acoustic guitar."
The new record's title is just a list of those tracks — all 13 of them — but for brevity's sake, it's known as Circles Super Bon Bon. Doughty recently discussed it with NPR's Rachel Martin; click the audio link to hear more of their conversation.

Kate Hudson Admits Shock at Second Pregnancy, Vows to Get Married
Kate Hudson admits in a new interview with Elle UK that her second pregnancy was far from planned.
The actress, who gave birth to son Bingham in 2011, reveals she became pregnant just eight weeks after she starting seeing Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, who is now her fiancé.
"[It] was all very old-fashioned and proper and we went on lovely dates," Hudson says jokingly. "And two months later I was pregnant… Well, yes [I was shocked], but I also thought: 'This is going to be interesting.'"
And it was, turning Hudson and Bellamy's sudden romance into a solid relationship.

"I knew it would take a strong man to deal with it. You know that with a relationship things can go either way when you have a child," says the movie star. "When you get pregnant everything changes; you, your body. Everything becomes a big decision."
Now together for nearly three years, the couple plans to walk down the aisle — eventually.
"We will get married," Hudson tells the mag in the May issue before adding, "I do think it's important but we have no plans. [Older son Ryder] wants a party. For me it's not the legal part that is important, it's what it means to the family."
Family, after all, is what it's all about for Hudson these days, despite some of the public's misconceptions.
Hudson reveals, "I'm a lot less a rock chick and a lot more about being a good mother, a good partner."
"I'm part of a family. That's how we were brought up, how I bring my kids up," she explains. "They are very blessed to live how they do but they are aware of that."

Havent been on in ages. Hope everyone's holidays were ok. I'm stressed and angry today. My h has been a lot better since I threatened to leave him. Also I enforce consequences better and the verbally abusive behaviour has dropped off but is sometimes still there. For example the tension has been building and he had a blowout last week. Just want some perspective on what has been goIng on. I feel so very angry. The night before last when I was helping him and his mom he was nasty to me when I was trying to help them. Then last night he met a friend who is a girl (which I don't like him doing). He was an hour and fifteen minutes later than was shown on our calendar so I called him - he seemed oblivious then he did rush home. He apologized but it just felt like I've heard I all before and it wasn't sincere. I dont trust him because he has been borderline unfaithful so it upsets me when agreed upon times are not respected. Can anyone describe why his behaviour is wrong? I have a hard time as I feel all hazy.

I made it to the end lol, well I can see your point and I believe I always did see it,
I've read that book, understood that book, but he also describes in detail why he (the abuser) does that, his attitudes, the experience of abusers and the fact of his research that most never stop being abusive!
So although I understand why u have used quotes from this book I also know the other insights from that book and all I can say is that in my experience of coming onto this board, others who have left their abusive partners get to understand what life is like free from abuse, so in all of us experiencing both staying with and fighting for our relationships and then making the choice to have peace and freedom from abuse, we see both sides and will be far more found of one over the other.
The guy that wrote that book, great therapist, fantastic book! But we are not therapists, we are abused women, and u will get what u find here and from me!
My advice is useful sometimes and sometimes not, but if your looking for something specific from me, them I'm afraid you will only get who I am! My advice is an extension of who I am because it's an extensions of my thoughts and feelings!
I can only talk for myself in my response and I don't know how others would respond!
Might I suggest that u don't come with a specific expectation of how u want others to respond and give u what u need,
I am sorry but it is ingrained into my belief system that abuse is a loose loose situation and I can tell u that yes he has abused your trust and boundries and give u clarification on that level, but I'm always going to use self discretion to give the advice that is also in my heart!
Good luck xxxx :)
