China: 400 Million Forced Abortions, Sterilizations Under One-Child Policy
Jun 13th

Recent reports from China show coercion in China’s infamous one-child policy is once again on the rise. Women in the southern city of Huizhou are being targeted for sterilization. Those who have one child are being forced to wear IUDs. Those who have two children are subject to tubal ligation. Those who bear an “illegal” child are being denied all government services. This means life without access to schools, hospitals, retirement benefits, etc. “Four hundred million forced abortions and sterilizations is enough,” says Steven Mosher, the President of the Population Research Institute (PRI). “Chinese women, children and families have suffered enough over the past 33 years. It is time to end the misguided one-child policy.” Mass abortion and sterilization campaigns are nothing new in China. PRI has documented many such campaigns in the past. What is new is increased international pressure to ease the policy. Joining Bob Fu of the China Aid Association, blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng, and others who have called for an end to the policy, Mosher said, “Morality aside, China’s policy no longer makes demographic, economic or political sense. China currently faces a below replacement birth rate, an aging workforce, and weakened political legitimacy.” CLICK LIKE IF YOU’RE PRO-LIFE ! // The latest census data suggests the depth of China’s demographic crisis.

Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson tag-teamed to drive Fast & Furious 6 to number one domestically with $ 98.5 million over the weekend. The sequel, which also stars Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano, is forecast to top $ 122 million domestically once the Memorial Day weekend is over on the way to $ 275.5 million worldwide box office. That would give the sixth film in the racing franchise the second best opening of the year behind Disney and Marvel’s Iron Man 3. Over the past 12 years, gamers have seen different variations of the Fast & Furious franchise in video game form. Gameloft released multiple mobile games based on the movie franchise up until this year when Kabam took over the license with The Fast and Furious 6. Namco Bandai released The Fast and the Furious on PlayStation 2 and PSP back in 2006 in tandem with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift movie. Raw Thrills has released a pair of Fast and Furious sitdown arcade machines that can be connected for multiplayer racing. And now Activision has entered the race with Fast and the Furious: Showdown, which offers challenges from all six movies. There are two very different Activision game publishers out there. The one most people know develops “AAA” games like Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Infinity Ward’s upcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts, as well as the Skylanders franchise, Spider-Man, James Bond and Transformers video games. Then there’s the “other” Activis

Filed under: People , Spending Nati Harnik/AP Sheila Sutton updates the Powerball prize money sign at the Super C convenience store in Lincoln, Neb., Friday, May 17, 2013. Powerball officials say the jackpot has climbed to an estimated $ 600 million, making it the largest prize in the game's history and the world's second largest lottery prize. Sutton sold a million dollar powerball ticket on Tuesday. By BARBARA RODRIGUEZ DES MOINES, Iowa – It's all about the odds, and one single ticket in Florida has beaten them all by matching the numbers drawn for the highest Powerball jackpot in history at an estimated $ 590.5 million, lottery officials disclosed Sunday. The lone winner was sold at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., according to Florida Lottery executive Cindy O'Connell. She told The Associated Press by telephone that more details would be released later. "This would be the sixth Florida Powerball winner and right now, it's the sole winner of the largest everPowerball jackpot," O'Connell told AP. "We're delighted right now that we have the sole winner." She said Florida has had more Powerball winners than any other state. The winner was not immediately identified publicly and O'Connell did not give any indication just hours after Saturday's drawing whether anyone had already stepped forward with that winning ticket. With four out of every five possible combinations of Powerball numbers in play, lottery executives said e

Powerball Jackpot Reaches $600 Million for Saturday’s Drawing
May 19th
Source: cranberry.patch.com – Saturday, May 18, 2013 Want to try your luck at Powerball? All you need is one $ 2 lottery ticket to play.
The Powerball jackpot was boosted to $ 600 million, or a $ 376.9 million cash prize for the Saturday, May 18, drawing after none of the tickets sold Wednesday matched the winning numbers.
The multi-state mega-lottery had rolled to a $ 475 million value after Wednesday's drawing, but increased by $ 125 million Thursday afternoon as a result of strong ticket sales, according to the Pennsylvania Lottery .
The $ 600 million jackpot is the largest jackpot in the game’s history . The second largest was won last Nov. 28, 2012, when a $ 587.5 million jackpot was shared by two tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri.
Tickets for the next Powerball drawing will be available until 9:59 p.m. Saturday evening.
Your odds of winning the Powerball jackpot is one in 175.2 million. You're more likely to get struck by lightning (one in 700,000) or fatally attacked by a shark (one in 3.7 million).
But, hey, somebody has to win.
If you want to double your luck, lottery players are also excited about the May 17 Mega Millions drawing , with that game’s jackpot offering a $ 190 million annuity value or a $ 140.9 million cash prize.

Someone Stole $1 Million In Jewels At Cannes

Sofia Coppola ’s The Bling Ring is the true story of a group of regular nobodies who wanted to be famous so much that they stalked young celebrities via the internet to find out when they wouldn’t be home and then broke in and stole a bunch of shit from them. Some of the stars were big names like Orlando Bloom , Megan Fox and Rachel Bilson , while other stars like Paris Hilton and Audrina Partridge weren’t ever stars at all. The film, starring Emma Watson and Claire Julien , debuted at Cannes yesterday, ironically while someone stole $ 1 million worth of jewels from the hotel room of an employee of Swiss jewelers Chopard, which supplies expensive accessories to many of the event’s stars. Amazingly, Lindsay Lohan has an alibi. In the meantime, maybe the French detectives can figure out why Emma looks really hot at some events and awkward and geeky at others. She’s like a Seinfeld rerun come to life. (Photo Credits: Getty)
