DJ Matthew Roberts' Horror, Son of Charles Manson

J Matthew Roberts, 41, from Los Angeles, was adopted, and like many adopted children, he wanted to discover who his biological parents are. He wasn't prepared for the news, however, that he was conceived by rape, and even worse news: his father is the infamous cult leader and murderer Charles Manson.
DJ Matthew Roberts discovered, or rather, was told he was adopted by his sister when he was 10. It's unclear if she did so in a fit of retribution against Roberts for sibling rivalry, but it happened nonetheless. His adoptive father tried to discourage him from discovering the identity of his parents, telling him: "Nothing good will come from this."

DJ Matthew Roberts has communicated with Manson since then, but only via letters. He has the number that he could used to call Charles Manson at San Quentin prison, but he has not used it, yet.

Unfortunately for DJ Matthew Roberts, to a casual person examining him, they might see quite a bit of resemblance between him and his insane father. Fortunately, it appears to be physical, not mental.

For example, DJ Matthew Roberts has the same sort of eye characteristics that Manson does. Manson's eyes tend to "bug out" when he is angry. As Roberts says, "If I get worked up, my eyes get really big and that's really freaked some people out before."

Emotionally, and psychologically, DJ Matthew Roberts says he's a peaceful person. Murder, after all, is not genetically inheritable. As he said, "I don't even kill bugs."

Will DJ Matthew Roberts attempt to speak to his father in the future? While he has that phone number, it's unclear. He said, "If I did talk to Charlie on the phone, I would say, 'I truly understand what it's like to be you, more than anyone could ever imagine on so many levels'.

"He's my biological father; I can't help but have some kind of emotional connection. That's the hardest thing of all, feeling love for a monster who raped my mother.

"I don't want to love him, but I don't want to hate him either."

Bussiness of Bone marrow donation

WHAT IS BONE MARROW:

Bone marrow is a special, spongy, fatty tissue that houses stem cells, located inside a few large bones. These stem cells transform themselves into white and red blood cells and platelets, essential for immunity and circulation. Anemia, leukemia, and other lymphoma cancers can compromise the resilience of bone marrow. Bone marrow transplants are a growing treatment for these conditions of the lymphatic system that can't be otherwise cured.

DISCUSSION:

Our skull, sternum, ribs, pelvis, and femur bones all contain bone marrow, but other smaller bones do not. Inside this special tissue, immature stems cells reside, along with extra iron. While they are undifferentiated, the stem cells wait until unhealthy, weakened, or damaged cells need to be replaced. A stem cell can turn itself into a platelet, a white blood cell like a T-cell, or a red blood cell. This is the only way such cells get replaced to keep our body healthy.

Platelets always circulate in our bloodstream, looking for tiny tears in blood vessels where blood might leak out, like a paper cut. They accumulate in such cuts during clotting. Red blood cells carry fresh oxygen from the lungs to all the cells that need it, and then carry away the unneeded carbon dioxide. White blood cells are immune responders that combat foreign microorganisms. Those invaders might cause infection, so white blood cells help produce antibodies that keep the invaders from causing damage.

These three types of cells, and their associated functions, are obviously incredibly important to our entire body. That's why bone marrow tissue, as part of the lymphatic system, fights pathogens like fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Other diseases, often incurable, pose threats to bone marrow, incapacitating its ability to turn stem cells into essential cells. Leukemia, Hodgkin's Disease, and other lymphoma cancers and tumors damage bone marrow and destroy stem cells.

BONE MARROW DONATION FOR MONEY:

The Institute for Justice (IJ) filed suit against Attorney General Eric Holder Jr., asking that he be enjoined from enforcing the federal criminal prohibition on compensating bone marrow donors. The prohibition is contained in the National Organ Transplant Act (NOTA) of 1984.

Other plaintiffs in the suit include patients suffering from blood diseases like leukemia.

The plaintiffs argue that preventing sick people in need of bone marrow transplants from offering compensation to donors who could make those transplants possible, violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Bone marrow contains cells that are capable of becoming other types of blood cells. Thus they can be very beneficial and therapeutic for people with certain blood diseases.

A counter argument is that compensation for bone marrow could attract high risk donors.

Brittany Hollenbach Death

Brittany Hollenbach’s death happened as a result of a road accident. Brittany Hollenbach was just 22 and a Richland High School Graduate. She was a very active and vibrant girl. Her fellows say that Brittany had a “heart of pure gold”. She was a member of Tri-Delta sorority also. Tri-Delta is going to hold an event in her remembrance. Her friends and colleague sorority members have also dedicated a face book page to her name.According to the initial reports Brittany Hollenbach was hanging around with four of her friends. Obviously the friends had plans of staying out till late in the night. It was little over 12:00 p.m. as she rushed to cross a road; a car hit her with full speed. She received cranial injuries which are thought to be difficult to treat as the brain swells after the impact, making it almost impossible to stop the internal bleeding. She was immediately shifted to the nearby Harborview Medical Center by the employees of Seattle Fire Department.
The car was later identified as a Honda Civic. The driver was also apprehended but was not found to be under the influence of any intoxication or to have impaired driving abilities due to any cause.

Bollywood's Shilpa Shetty marriage news

Shilpa’s keeping her favourite designers happy by getting each of them to design for an event, of which there are several. The cherry on top goes to leading designer Tarun Tahiliani who is working hard to make a stunning wedding dress. Meanwhile top chef Andy Verma is busy preparing a memorable menu for which he will be especially flown in.

The groom, who has been married before, is planning to arrive at the wedding in a chariot.

While Shilpa deals with the umpteen details of her big day, there is something that is weighing heavily on her mind: her sister Shamita knows nothing about the engagement or impending marriage. Shamita is locked up in the Bigg Boss house, India’s version of Big Brother and thinks the marriage is sometime in December by when the show is expected to end. Channel bosses have approached parent show Big Brother to figure out how to bend the rules and evict Shamita (if the audience doesn’t do so) in time for the wedding. Changing the date is not an option because Shilpa’s mother has consulted an astrological chart and the next auspicious date is months away. Will Shamita make it to her sister’s wedding?

Lopez Show

( Late-Night TV Gets A Double Shot Of Diversity)

African-American comic Wanda Sykes launched her new Saturday-night talk show on Fox this past weekend, while Mexican-American comedian George Lopez premieres his weeknight program, Lopez Tonight, on TBS this week. Which means that suddenly, late-night TV is substantially more colorful.
Not only are Lopez and Sykes not white, they make a point of making jokes aimed right at their most loyal audiences. Lopez sprinkles his stand-up with Spanish; Sykes makes frequent allusions to her black family and her white wife.

They also swear a whole lot more than is usually acceptable for affable late-night hosts.

"They have to push some boundaries," says Eric Deggans, television writer for the St. Petersburg Times. Deggans says he hopes Lopez will use his new talk show to create a more diverse kind of mainstream entertainment.
But those personalities don't have the kind of broad audience Lopez and Sykes are going for. The last time late-night TV scored a diversity success was with Arsenio Hall's syndicated show. For five years in the late '80s and early '90s the comedian held a demographic that was younger and more diverse than the fans of The Tonight Show.

But TV writer Eric Deggans says a lot has changed since Hall's show went off the air. Hip-hop has become even more mainstream, and blacks and Latinos are more visible in Hollywood. He's glad Sykes and Lopez have new shows, but, he says it remains to be seen if they are the right people to bring in new viewers.
