And now I have to learn a whole new body part and all the details that go into how it is supposed to work, and why it doesn't work with Harlie. And there will be more appointments, more specialists, and more equipment. Super. Yes, I'm whining. ... How could she pass the newborn hearing test with moderate loss?

They screen it Wednesday. Ah. Well, so, I put her – there's a scene in which that passage of time happens, and it's her sitting stone-still as time and seasons pass around her, and Chris [Weitz] did some really beautiful stuff ... But what happens is that she's only hearing about events that happen off-page.

View Post: ARA: Babies at weddings (Updated) - On the Edge - Kristi Gustafson ...
17 Nov 2009 by Kristi Gustafson

23 Mar 2009 by Charley Shaw, Staff Writer, Saint Paul...  
To claim a child's DNA as State property--and to willfully pass legislation that makes it impossible for parents to not allow the State to keep and experiment on this data--is a blatant misuse of power. The DNA is not being collected for specific research, ... Researchers benefit from data they don't even need consent to get. Shameful.
