Pregnancy engagement falling

Among the important issues raised by the pregnancy of Oregonian Thomas Beatie is whether a female-to-male transgender person who becomes pregnant might be endangering the fetus, especially someone like Beatie, who has been taking testosterone for at least 10 years. There's very little research on the subject to date, and some experts are at odds about it. Any possible damage done by 10 years of testosterone would be irreversible, he said.

Jamie Lynn Spears amped up her own engagement rumors Tuesday by showing off a sparkly rock during a Kentwood, La., coffee run. Of course, if it is an engagement ring, she's wearing it on the wrong hand. But those Spears sisters always have done things...uh, a little differently.

"It was like any other night," Raul Navaira, 40, said Wednesday.

Nothing of Anything

On an afternoon almost wholly without incident,
an elderly man is entering a lions’ enclosure with
a whip and a chair; he has been told there are no

hospital beds available. The veteran becomes worried
and suspects he is ill-equipped to prevent a mauling.
He is pleased with his makeshift defence, but for all the

gutsy endeavour the lions have the better of things.
In the evening, a nurse agrees that the man looks much
worse than before. He is moved to a cubicle with a door.

From Gentle Elbows

from nearly running from our feet from along the fence
from a spot to watch our cordial practice wars from
before the next war scheduled to see its protests

from an image to impeach the audience from sharing a mask
from the group you're held from through the recruiters
from smiles whispered from one eye-catching ear to another's

from the rose-colored banter of cardinals from cotton-fields
with a tenor from a pink council striking from offering
giants candy from belly rivals from foreign work tactics

Iraq City Scene

An Interior Ministry official was dealing with his house,
A box of candy, a suicide bomber, insurgents
A sheikh (recently freed) and four others wounded.

The turbines stopped, plunging the City into darkness.
Amid restrictions and rocket fire, the only power:
cars driving along the darkened streets.

No one will be watching television late into the night
To see if there are any upsets. Political rallies are not allowed;
The most famous candidate has not been seen in public.

Expensive Mad Order

To impress the waitress at Cassandra's Restaurant
(where desperate protesters are eventually fed),
a crazy man is scoring a point about the difference between

agonizingly dwindling currency transparency
and foundering under the grander divergent turbulence
of a one-money slum government.

The smugly closed stores pull in aspirational civilians,
who looted them to steal some trash before it's chopped up.
He merely borrows the trash, in the trappings of a moral.
