SAY NO TO TOXINS and JOIN THE CRAWL
Mounting scientific evidence points to widespread exposure to chemicals that can cause serious and adverse impacts on human health, particularly for children.
The federal law that should protect us from health-harming chemicals just doesn't work. Since 1976, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has required safety testing on only 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals on the market. We need a stronger chemical law to keep our families safe and healthy.*
Babies everywhere are crawling to Washington and saying “no” to toxic chemicals found in household products. Join the crawl and help Seventh Generation, maker of naturally safe and effective household products, demand change! Join the crawl.

British scientists have mastered a controversial technique using cloning technology to prevent some incurable inherited diseases by swapping DNA between two fertilized human eggs.
Lead researcher Doug Turnbull of Newcastle University said on Wednesday he hoped the first babies free from so-called mitochondrial diseases would be born within three years.
But applying the technique in the clinic, to help women at risk of passing on the disorders, will require a change in British law that currently bans reproduction from such manipulated embryos, which would end up having three biological parents.
Around one in 6,500 children are born with serious diseases caused by malfunctioning mitochondrial DNA, leading to a range of conditions that can include fatal heart problems, liver failure, brain disorders, blindness and muscular weakness.
The Newcastle team's technique effectively replaces mitochondria, which act as tiny energy-generating batteries inside cells, so a baby doesn't inherit faults from its mother. Mitochondria are only passed down the maternal line.
"What we've done is like changing the battery on a laptop. The energy supply now works properly, but none of the information on the hard drive has been changed," Turnbull said.
"A child born using this method would have correctly functioning mitochondria, but in every other respect would get all their genetic information from their father and mother."
The researchers use a variation of the same technique used to make Dolly the cloned sheep in 1996.
Within a day of uniting egg and sperm using in vitro fertilization, nuclear DNA is removed from the embryo and implanted into a donor egg, whose own nucleus has been removed and discarded.

James Harrison, 74, has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus disease, a form of severe anemia.
It was found his plasma could treat the condition and since then it has been given to hundreds of thousands of women.
Mr Harrison has been giving blood every few weeks since he was 18 years old and has now racked up a total of 984 donations.
It is estimated he has helped save 2.2 million babies so far.
He said: 'I've never thought about stopping. Never.' He made a pledge to be a donor aged 14 after undergoing major chest surgery in which he needed 13 litres of blood.James Harrison, 74, has an antibody in his plasma that stops babies dying from Rhesus... more

After nearly four months in neonatal intensive care, Duggar baby No. 19, Josie Brooklyn, is finally leaving the hospital.
"We're grateful for the prayers of thousands," Jim Bob Duggar tells PEOPLE as he and wife Michelle left Arkansas Children's Hospital on Tuesday with Josie. "We are so happy," adds Michelle. "We are so excited, we are running on adrenaline. I have been getting into the routine of every three hours feeding, diapering and taking her temperature. We are so encouraged that she is doing so well."
As they drove away from the hospital, her physician, Dr. Robert Arrington said, "This is the first time Josie has seen sunlight." She was born on Dec. 10 via emergency C-section at just 25 weeks' gestation. Weighing just 1 lb. 6 oz., the micropreemie fought for her life, surviving a bowel perforation at only 8 days old.
Today, Josie weighs 4 lbs. 9 oz., is breathing without oxygen, eating every three hours and stable enough to go home, says Arrington. It's a bittersweet day for the staff. "I will miss being around the baby and the family," Arrington says. "They are very nice people. But they've told me they will stay in touch and come by the nursery to let us see her."
Michelle says the family's emotional roller-coaster ride has "leveled out," and that Josie's disposition has been a joy in hard times. "She has a strong personality," Michelle says. "She is a spunky little thing and will keep us all going."
The littlest Duggars at home – Jackson, 5, Johanna, 4, Jennifer, 2, and Jordyn, 15 months – have never seen Josie in person and "are jumping up and down that they will finally get to meet their baby sister," says Michelle. Of course, given Josie's still-delicate state, "the little ones will have to be careful with slobbery kisses to prevent any colds and sniffles," Michelle adds.
The family will remain in a rental home nearby in Little Rock indefinitely until they are ready to take Josie home to Tontitown, Ark. "I will be her main caregiver," Michelle says, "and we'll have a lot of helpers around to take turns feeding her and getting her to sleep."

So, some people like to call things FAILs, when they aren’t FAILs at all. I try to look for the glimmer of goodness in everything, so this is another edition of some FAILs that I don’t think are really FAILs.
Most structures need mortar and steel to stand. This man has constructed a fully functioning Pompadour with no more than hairspray and elbow grease.
C'mon this isn't a FAIL. They say that unemployment rates are surging amongst youth. Clearly this young man is rolling in dough. Don't knock this young entrepreneur.
NOT A FAIL! As the 16th century English poet Christopher Marlowe once wrote: "Tis but an honour, to be granted glorious death from a Slurpee machine."
I know you say that you're "morally opposed" to big box stores, but it's so inconvenient to go downtown just for hookers. This store opened literally around the corner, I think you should really just check it out. I know that you'll really appreciate the discounts.
Do you want your kid to give your kid more air? Have you tested the playpen to make sure he doesn't go whoopsies? Did you double check? If the structure is sound this isn't a FAIL. Next!
UGH! I can't get over the abstinence-only sex education community. Let me make this clear: IF YOU GO ON A PICNIC WITHOUT CONDOMS, YOU WILL COME BACK PREGNANT!
This isn't a FAIL. It's a great example of someone adhering to the values of sustainability. When most people get junk mail, they normally just throw it out. This individual decided to prank-the-f*ck out of her roommate, by filling their Camry with coupons.
This is only a FAIL because you both went through the window. Honey how many times do I have to tell you? We have a door! The only time you should use a window, is in case of fire. And if this were a fire, your laughter would be completely inappropriate.
Catch up on your FAILs that aren’t FAILS.

Tiger Woods is busy with his latest girlfriend so of course he doesn't have time for Golg. But I don't think this is a FAIL. I think this is really mature. Instead of working on Star Wars fan fiction, he's getting his priorities straight. Goodbye to the "Valley of Golg." Hello to "coming to terms with responsibility."
Did you seriously just FAIL mother nature? What exactly does that entail? Isn't it impressive that an iceberg can look like a shlong? There is some unifying force of nature. I'm not a religious person, but it's times like this make me consider the possibility of a higher being.
If a kid falls that's a FAIL? I think not. FAILs are tragedies, little kids falling over, that's pure comedy. I know I sound insensitive, but I can make jokes like this because when I was that age, I used to fall out of potato sacks, on the regular.
Look I know we're in the middle of a disaster, but firemen need cheese puffs too.
How can you call this beautiful Michael Jackson portrait a FAIL? He had to convince two cherub-like toddlers to hang from a platform, while he posed on his horse. That is craftsmanship.
How on earth do you think these women became beautiful brunette bombshells from Buenos Aires? I'll tell you, by drinking the Argentinian national beer Quilmes. Nothing these women do could ever be a FAIL.

Current.com user Smurph25 and his whole family are on the right track in thinking that this is not a FAIL. The building simply wants to keep some things in and some things out. They want to make sure that people can enter, and that elephants cannot. Just because you escaped from the zoo, does not mean you are welcome in our courtyard.
FAIL really? Okay so maybe you didn't like the movie when you first saw it. And maybe you didn't like it when your roommate Evan quoted it every five minutes. But you totally loved it when you watched it again. It happened to me. As for the tattoo, totally legit, but he should have added to it, like with some cool dude sunglasses or something.
Not a FAIL. There's only one proctologist on the North Pole. Sure he's a snow man, but he is totally qualified. That being said, I do agree that it's a bit unprofessional to have a doctor's office in the middle of Target, but hey it's one of the few places on the North Pole with ample lighting.
Oh are you that dedicated to buying things? I thought you were anti-capitalist. I saw you at the anarchist bookstore ranting about Abbie Hoffman's concept of The Free Store and now you're railing fun of people who embody this ethic? Shame on you, and the hypocritical values you embody. You sir are the FAIL in this scenario.
This item costs £1.99, which signifies that this is a British product. British English is funny, they call astronauts: pirates. Conversely, Blackbeard is the most famous astronaut in all of Britain.
This is absolutely not a FAIL. This is part of Azerbaijani Prime Minister Artur Rasizade's campaign to put a McDonald's in every home.
Who cares about your cooking sheet, the cookies are ready!

This guy worked hard every day of his life to become a VP at a huge insurance firm. The hard work paid off, and now he can impress all, y'all with this sick ride. You only call this a FAIL because you're so gosh darn jealous.
I know you're acting like everything Chris Brown does is a FAIL. But he's holding a very cute puppy, and unless that dog has rabies, is not a FAIL!
Is there a better way to teach health students the miracle of life, then by illustrating it on a cake? It's like that old saying: "all knowledge stems from Angel Food".
You read it wrong. Not only are they offering you free internet, they're also offering a free Hi-Fi stereo receiver WITH phonograph, Edison would be so proud!!!! Bring your square-dancing 78s to room 216, and we'll have such an irreverent party!
The FAIL lies in misunderstanding the sign. But I think we can sort this out. To the writers of this sign, I know by writing "no bikes" you also implied "no SUVs" but I think that the driver missed the implication. Perhaps the driver was from a low-context culture, where things need to be expressed more explicitly. Cultural sensitivity, learn it bro!
Why is this a FAIL, when you know that Google rights all of your wrongs?
Question, where are your nails? This is only raunchy if they are on your crotch. I'll give you a partial FAIL, because they call this the "grand opening" but it's been there for six months.
I guess this shows the endemic FAILs perpetrated by predatory lenders. This toddler can barely do anything without her pacifier, and she's already $38,375 in debt. Why did the financial institution give her such a huge credit limit? They knew she's ineligible to work, on account of strict US child labor laws.
Oh so sagging isn't cool anymore? C'mon sagging was awesome in junior high. By sagging below his knees, this fellow is taking us into the future of fashion.

I'm not very familiar with Sailor Moon, but how could this costume be a FAIL, if I recognized that he was dressed as Sailor Moon? The costume clearly is effective, so it is a WIN.
Yeah right. How could having fun with the WHOLE family possibly be a FAIL?
This person didn't FAIL at locking their wi-fi signal, they WIN at figuring out how to name their network. Nobody can use my signal without a password, but it's still called LINKSYS, and creativity is what counts in this world.
Yeah I get it, they spelled "your" AND "for" wrong, but they spelled 1/5th of the words correctly!
The cat always asks if he can haz cheeseburger. What does he do when he finally gets it? He takes a bite, and then goes back to eating cat food. C'mon bro, that's a waste of $1.25. FAIL.
I'm not a building inspector, so I'm not concerned that those thermoses over the counter don't adhere to municipal standards. Big whoop maybe, but FAIL definitely not.
The wrath of Venom is something that Spider Man might fear, but why should we? Perhaps this is only a FAIL because this person hasn't made the switch from VHS to DVD. Consider that DVD itself is a dead format though, maybe he streams video through NetFlix. Duh.
I know what you're thinking. This is a FAIL, because the architect is invoking ideas from Ionic temple design, while implementing columns from the Corinthian period. Well first off, we aren't all Greek architectural scholars, bro. And secondly, it's not totally inconceivable that early Corinthian architecture might use Ionic structure, as that was the previously dominant style.

Tick-tock, tick-tock. Listen carefully, ladies. That's the sound of our quickening biological clocks telling us that we'll lose around 90 percent of our eggs by age 30. As it turns out, we can't dilly-dally around baby-making for as long as we thought.
Right when we're starting to get a handle on juggling life/work balance, yet another study pummels us with conflicting messages about what we should be doing? We've forged through three waves of feminist politics for equal access to equal opportunities and it would be a pity to get this far to be outfoxed by something as trivial as "fertility." Dammit, I WANT TO DO IT ALL, and why shouldn't I?
But, before a foot-stomping temper-tantrum takes the best of me, let's step back a moment.
As it turns out, that remaining ten percent (around 30,000) of viable eggs, are sufficient for making a baby. You might have to kiss good-bye that quaint notion of relying on good, ol'-fashioned fertility, and instead concoct your bundle of joy in a petri-dish. But, why not? Modern medicine has given people new knees, unclogged their hearts, and done wonders for erectile dysfunction. In most respects, we've kissed goodbye the notion of au-naturel to accept a happy medium between nature's path and science's convenience. Infertility technology is one way to achieve the ultimate goal: A healthy child.
Women are waiting longer to have children. More precisely, we're waiting until around age 26.5, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. This is nearly six years later than in 1970.
Society has certainly changed. But reproductive endocrinologist Robert Stillman told The Washington Post, "ovaries will take another million years or two to catch up to that."
But since high-powered women don't exactly want to wait another million years for mother nature to catch on, we're left with what Carolyn Butler from The Washington Post describes as "balancing the personal, primal urge to partner up and procreate with worthwhile social goals such as pursuing higher education and a successful career -- not to mention economic stability."
Do you think women should push our ears to the ground and listen to mother nature's fertility message or freeze youthful eggs and get back to the board meeting?

Two mortuary workers were detained and two senior hospital staff were sacked in eastern China after the bodies of at least 21 infants and foetuses were found in a river.
At least eight bodies had tags indicating they were from the hospital of Jining Medical University in Shandong province.
Authorities are quoted as saying that the bodies were on aborted foetuses or infants who died from illness.

Babies love a beat, according to a new study that found dancing comes naturally to infants.
The research showed babies respond to the rhythm and tempo of music, and find it more engaging than speech.
The findings, based on a study of 120 infants between 5 months and 2 years old, suggest that humans may be born with a predisposition to move rhythmically in response to music.
"Our research suggests that it is the beat rather than other features of the music, such as the melody, that produces the response in infants," said researcher Marcel Zentner, a psychologist at the University of York in England. "We also found that the better the children were able to synchronize their movements with the music, the more they smiled."

A 38-year-old French woman has admitted killing six of her newborn children, at a trial in north-west France.
Celine Lesage, who faces life imprisonment if convicted of aggravated homicide, was arrested in 2007 after her then partner found the babies' corpses wrapped in plastic bags in the basement of her Valognes flat.
Speaking today at the opening of a four-day trial, Lesage bowed her head as the charges were read out, before responding: "I acknowledge the facts."

An elephant calf that was believed to have died during a nine-day labor is feeding itself and has earned the nickname "Mr. Shuffles" since learning to stand, Taronga Zoo officials said Thursday.
Keepers said Tuesday that the calf had died during the difficult labor, which started March 1. But a live calf was born early Wednesday to mother Porntip.
"Despite no vital signs of life for several days, we now have obviously a healthy little calf on the ground," Taronga Zoo director Cameron Kerr told reporters Thursday.

The jealousy-inducing-weight-loss that some mothers can pull off after birth has, for some time, been a topic of debate. Some attribute it to factors such as genes, and spending an exorbitant amount of time in the gym. However, a trending idea in weight loss is the idea that breast feeding can aid in weight loss. To some this may seem absurd, but recent studies suggest that breast feeding could in fact promote post birth weight loss.The jealousy-inducing-weight-loss that some mothers can pull off after birth has, for... more
