A Pennsylvania woman gave birth to a son in the bathroom of a sports bar, then abandoned him to die in the restaurant’s toilet, authorities said Monday in charging her with the baby’s death.
Amanda Catherine Hein was arraigned and held without bail on one count of criminal homicide in the death of her baby last week.
A cleaning crew found the baby’s body Aug. 19 at Starters Pub in Bethlehem, about 30 miles north of Philadelphia. Authorities said the baby was at 33 to 36 weeks gestation and viable.
An autopsy found the baby was born alive, the Northampton County coroner said.
In an interview with police, the 26-year-old Allentown woman admitted giving birth to the baby boy in the restroom a night earlier, wrapping him in a plastic bag from a garbage container and placing him in the toilet tank, court documents…

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
There is one word and one expression that I have all but eliminated from my vocabulary: should and have to. In place of both I consciously insert or reference the word: choice or choose to. But that’s just me. 🙂 You may have words that you’ve elected to sidestep and in lieu, found another more suitable or comfortable way to express yourself.
When pausing to reconsider why I made these simple choices, I realized how filled our lives are with expectations of should or have to. And, therein, I also saw how often we are told what to do, how to behave, how to speak, and how to make decisions. Our own decisions!
As evidenced in my posts, what I do professionally, share via blog posts and in speaking engagements, is centric to what…

Episode One: The Black Atlantic (1500 – 1800)
Tuesday, October 22, 8-9 p.m.
· The Black Atlantic explores the truly global experiences that created the African-American people. Beginning a full century before the first documented “20-and-odd” slaves who arrived at Jamestown, Virginia, the episode portrays the earliest Africans, both slave and free, who arrived on these shores. But the transatlantic slave trade would soon become a vast empire connecting three continents. Through stories of individuals caught in its web, like a 10-year-old girl named Priscilla who was transported from Sierra Leone to South Carolina in the mid-18th century, we trace the emergence of plantation slavery in the…

Feeling quite under the weather when I saw this movie, I found it hard to stay focused. It seemed to be all over the place. First you have one man with a Peter Pan Complex, then you have a band of followers that are easily manipulated into going on a juvenile adventure to “pub crawl” as they did when they were young. Upon their graduation, they never made it to the last pub so their goal is to hit every pub, including The World’s End. A funny thing happened while they were half way through their travels. I can’t reveal that funny thing because it would truly spoil the entire movie for you. I will say, this movie was weird, strange, dysfunctional but still managed to send plenty of meaningful messages. I don’t think it was worth the big screen but I will say that the special effects were…

Eye expert Dennis Lam and his team have offered to give the boy years of treatment free-of-charge. ”When I heard about [the attack] I was really angry, very upset. I asked myself if I can help,” Lam told AFP.
The boy, known as Bin-Bin, went missing last month after playing near his family home in China’s northern province of Shanxi. His parents found him hours later covered in blood. The child’s eyes were recovered nearby.
Lam hopes to restore up to 40% of the boy’s vision using prosthetic eyes and an electronic sensory system. Cameras in the eyes would detect different objects and send signals to an electric pulse generator attached to Bin-Bin’s tongue, helping him to recognise shapes. The technology is already in use in Japan and Europe.

Get ready, Earth. The sun’s magnetic field is about to do a 180 when the celestial body’s electromagnetism flips and changes polarity.
According to NASA-supported observations, the complete reversal is expected to take place in the coming months.
“It looks like we’re no more than three to four months away from a complete field reversal,” Todd Hoeksema, a solar physicist and director of Stanford University’s Wilcox Solar Observatory, said in a statement released by the agency. “This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system.”
So should we be concerned about the reversal of the sun’s magnetic field?
History says no.
While the field reversal is a big event for the solar system, the change in polarity is rather routine. The magnetic flip takes place at the peak of each solar cycle every 11 years. Nearing the mid-point of the sun’s 24th observed…
