Wet-Nurses Back In Vogue

From The Daily Mail By Diana Appleyard Breastfeeding someone else's baby has been unthinkable for mothers for over a century. Incredibly, despite the health risks, it's making a comeback in modern Britain. When Sarah Hastings walked into her sitting room and saw her childminder breastfeeding Sarah's baby daughter, she was, not surprisingly, utterly astonished. Many women might well be horrified at such an intrusion on the sacred bond between mother and child. Sarah, the 42-year-old director of a communications business from Notting Hill in West London, was speechless. "I was just stunned because I had not thought about this at all. We'd never discussed it," she recalls. Tango’s Take

Arkansas Attorney General Rejects Initiative To Ban Unwed Couples From Adopting

From Arkansas News Bureau By John Lyon LITTLE ROCK - Citing problems with the wording, state Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Wednesday rejected a proposed ballot initiative to prohibit unmarried couples from adopting or becoming foster parents in Arkansas. The director of the Arkansas Family Council, which drafted the proposed initiative, said the group will rewrite the measure and submit it again to McDaniel. The Family Council drafted the proposed ballot item after unsuccessfully lobbying the state Legislature earlier this year to pass legislation barring gays or unmarried couples from adopting or foster parenting. Obtaining certification of a ballot initiative's wording is the first step in placing the measure on the ballot. "I was not able to certify the ballot title in its current form," McDaniel said Wednesday. "There were a couple of flaws in its drafting."

Jennifer Lopez Wins A Half A Million From Ex-Husband

From OK Magazine After much legal wrangling, a Los Angeles judge has granted singer/actress/dancer/entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez two big wishes, not only barring her first husband from publishing a naughty, revealing tell-all memoir of his time with the Bronx-born superstar, but also awarding J.Lo over half a million dollars for her trouble! Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael C. Solner approved a $545,000 arbitration award to the Gigli star in her legal action against first husband Ojani Noa. Adding insult to injury for Noa, who married J.Lo in Feb., 1997, only to split 11 months later, the judge also slapped an injunction on him, forbidding him from publishing negative, denigrating, or otherwise not-so-nice details about his ex-wife. This ruling effectively prohibits Noa from airing his dirty laundry for profit. Tango’s Take

Pregnancy May Increase the Risk of Developing Binge Eating Disorder

The research is the largest population-based study of eating disorders during pregnancy. Previously, small clinical studies had suggested that often eating disorders go into remission during pregnancy, just as some pregnant women spontaneously quit smoking cigarettes. Tango’s Take

And those that have identified a link have not suggested any simple solutions to the problem. Tango’s Take
