This morning at around 1am, the NYPD entered Zuccotti Park, also known as “Liberty Park.” They wore riot gear, had numerous police vehicles as well as a bulldozer. They began evicting the occupiers and arrested numerous protestors who have been there for two months now. This incident occurred because Mayor Bloomberg declared the park a health hazard and said it needed to be cleaned up.

Hours later Bloomberg said the protestors were welcome to come back without their tents, etc. which would make things extremely difficult for them as temperatures will be dropping soon in NYC. He said,

No right is absolute and with every right comes responsibilities. The First Amendment gives every New Yorker the right to speak out – but it does not give anyone the right to sleep in a park or otherwise take it over to the exclusion of others – nor does it permit anyone in our society to live outside the law.”

A judge has since ordered protesters be allowed back in the park with their things. By issuing this temporary restraining order the property cannot refuse entry to people with their tents.

You know the protestors have walked right back in with all of their tents and camping gear!!! Another hearing is set to happen later today that could end it all, but these people are extremely determined and clearly they will not go out quietly.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph that baby is big!!!

Texas native Janet Johnson had been told by her doctors that her soon-to-arrive son would be big, but not this big. At her baby shower she told her friends “ not get any newborn stuff,” and good thing she did. On Sunday, Janet gave birth to a 16-pound boy, named JaMichael Brown.

“When they pulled the baby out, they could tell that he was huge,” Janet told KYTX. “And then they weighed him.” JaMichael may be the biggest baby ever born in Texas. The average size of a newborn is around 7 and a half pounds. Not only did JaMichael weigh in at 16 pounds and one ounce, but he was two feet long. Janet was diagnosed with gestational diabetes during her pregnancy, which may have contributed to JaMichael’s size.

Believe it or not, an Indonesian woman gave birth to a 19 lb baby not too long ago.

And according to the Guinness book of world records, a woman gave birth to a 23 lb baby back in 1879, but sadly he died 11 days later.

When Alicia Keys released Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready) in 2009, she wasn’t only ready to take the throne as “superwoman,” but also ready to join the fight against AIDS/HIV. Yesterday Keys attended the United Nations panel for HIV Priorities for Positive Change in New York.
