NEW YORK (AP) — In the desert of big-budget summer moviegoing comes, like fresh water, Neill Blomkamp's "Elysium," a dystopic science-fiction thriller bristling with more ideas than all this year's superheros and action films combined.
Like Blomkamp's first and previous film, the South African alien apartheid allegory "District 9," "Elysium" is a rogue burst of originality — a futuristic popcorn adventure loaded with contemporary themes of wealth discrepancy, immigration and health care. Blomkamp, a 33-year-old South African native with a background in digital effects and a head for sociopolitical tumult, has emerged as a rare thing in today's movies: a maker of science fiction with soul.
"What's somehow gone away from science fiction is that it's meant to represent ideas," says Blomkamp. "It's meant to be this looking glass through which you can look at society a different way."
Whereas most science fiction today is all sleekness and impressive spaceships, metaphor — not exactly the stuff of movie posters — comes first for Blomkamp, who sees his film in the tradition of Fritz Lang's similarly allegorical "Metropolis." Set in the year 2154, "Elysium" finds the Earth a dilapidated slum, with the wealthy living in an orbital space station, a kind of floating Beverly Hills hamster wheel modeled after Syd Mead's Stanford torus design for a space habitat.
Elysium, guarded fiercely by a defense secretary played by Jodie Foster, looms in the sky as an unreachable oasis of high-quality living and limitless health care. (Every home is equipped with beds that immediately cure illness.) The First and Third World divide has gone cosmic.
In dusty Los Angles (shot in a Mexico City slum), Matt Damon stars as a reformed car thief working in a giant factory in grueling conditions, overseen by an infinitely more rewarded CEO (William Fichtner). When a radiation mishap gives Damon's character days to live, he endeavors to reach Elysium at all costs.
"I sit there a lot of the time wrestling with balancing metaphor and also balancing entertainment," says Blomkamp. "Anything I do creatively comes from a place of instinct. I don't wake up one morning and say, 'I want to make a film about wealth discrepancy.' It seems to happen organically."
Los Angles holds particular fascination for Blomkamp, who lives with his wife and frequent writing partner Terri Tatchell in Vancouver. He considers its segregated sprawl, close to the border of Mexico "a milder version" of his hometown of Johannesburg. But his relationship with Hollywood is considerably more at odds.
"I would be as far from the film industry as physically possible as I could," he says.
Blomkamp first caught Hollywood's eye for his commercial work and shorts, including "Alive in Joburg," which he would later expand into "District 9." Peter Jackson and his wife and producing partner Fran Walsh were particularly impressed by Blomkamp and helped get him hired to helm a big-budget adaption of the video game "Halo."
But after months of development, the film was shut down. It was an early lesson for Blomkamp on the loss of control in directing studio films based on material not his own. "I count my lucky stars every day," he says now of the "Halo" fallout, since it led to Jackson and Walsh's suggestion that he turn "Alive in Joburg" — a documentary-styled story about aliens marooned in Johannesburg — into a feature.
Famously made for just around $30 million, "District 9" had the look of a much more expensive film, boasting far more political subtext than often makes it into the multiplexes. It starred Blomkamp's longtime friend Sharlto Copley (the two first met when a teenage Blomkamp began doing 3D animation work for Copley's production company) as an Afrikaner bureaucrat who mutates into one of the interned aliens. Parts of it were shot in Soweto.
"District 9," which received four Oscar nominations including best picture (a rarity for a genre film), made Blomkamp a phenom. In an earlier Time magazine issue on the 100 most influential people, director Ridley Scott wrote: "From time to time, there are people in the film industry who appear on the horizon with a unique vision. South African director Neill Blomkamp is one of those rare people."
The success of the film (it made $210.8 million worldwide) led to numerous studio offers of major franchise movies, including entreaties regarding "Star Wars" and "Star Trek."
"I get offered those kind of films less and less now because I just seem to be saying 'no' so much," says Blomkamp. "What I want to do for the next few films is find exactly my own voice."
"If I get into other people's ideas without fully fleshing that out, there's some of that that I could lose," he adds. "It can become impersonal if you're not careful."
In September, Blomkamp will begin shooting in South Africa the $60 million "Chappie," a sci-fi comedy he wrote with Tatchell. Though he cautions that he could change his mind in the two years it will take to make and release "Chappie," he would like to follow it with "District 10," a sequel to "District 9" for which he's written a treatment.
"He protects his artistic area, and he's been like that since I met him," says Copley, who plays a mercenary in "Elysium" and will star in "Chappie." "I've noticed in Hollywood, anything that has any kind of political thing, people get terrified. Coming from a place that was as explosively politically as where we came from, those are things that really interest us."
Certainly, some critics will deride "Elysium" as heavy-handed and others will chafe at its liberal politics, seeing advocacy for universal health care. Though President Barack Obama's health care plan didn't specifically figure into Blomkamp's thinking, he says that if a pop culture film like "Elysium" were to get political blowback from talk show pundits: "I think that's cool. Otherwise, what was the film? It just came and went."
Rated R satires about inequality don't typically set the box office on fire. So it will be interesting to see how moviegoers respond to "Elysium," made with financing split between Sony Pictures and Media Rights Capital for more than three times the budget of "District 9."
Blomkamp professes no answers to the issues he raises, rather insisting there are none. Economic disparity, he says, is an age-old problem that's "inherently unsolvable."
Sounding slightly mischievous, he says: "I hope the population likes the movie."

Pets, Pets, Pets
New Year's Day 1887: Westminster Kennel Club invited members and their guests to a "holiday" pigeon shoot at the clubhouse in Babylon. A special train left Long Island City on arrival of the 9 a.m. boat from E. 34th Street. Participants were picked up by horsedrawn carriage at Babylon Station, and were assured they'd be back in New York city by 5 p.m. Precise transportation that certainly beats the LIRR today, yet 121 years later, I am still trying to figure out precisely where the Babylon Westminster clubhouse was. So many clues; so many clues that conflict.
This drawing from the Feb. 27, 1892 Harper's Weekly by G. Muss-Arnolt, a well-known artist and dog show judge, places the clubhouse right near Southard's Pond. The rabbit is staring at the water in the lower right hand corner. The smaller building to the left is the shooting house. Between that and the clubhouse is the famed flagpole. Bull's eye- Sensation, Westminster's symbol Pointer was buried under that flagpole in June 1887, six months after the New Year's shoot.
German-born artist Gustav Muss- Arnolt (1858-1927) specialized in oil paintings of sporting dogs in the field. He also wrote, illustrated and photographed several articles for Harper's Weekly. More than 170 of his dog portraits were published in the AKC Gazette. In the early 1900s he was on the Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club which now owns a collection of his oils. Muss-Arnolt exhibited his own Pointers at Westminster and, as an "all round" judge, was on the panel that chose Westminster's Best In Show in 1913 and 1922.
Besides the Babylon clubhouse (which fire destroyed, probably in the 1920s) in this 1892 Harper's piece, Muss-Arnolt also includes detailed sketches of the kennels, Pointers, a huge dining room, hall, dog food prep room, and James Mortimer, Westminster Superintendent of both the Babylon kennels and the prestigious dog show at Madison Square Garden. Oh, yes, busy host, Mr. Mortimer, often picked up the Westminster visitors at Babylon Station.
David Frei, Westminster's TV commentator, and I traded treasures. He gave me this article after I sent him copies of old Babylon photos from the Ewell family who purchased the 64 acres with the clubhouse, farmhouse, and kennels from Westminster in 1904. I'm ecstatic about the placement of Muss- Arnolt's pen and ink pond, for it seems to match the clubhouse on the 1902 and 1915 Hyde Atlas maps and my tentative locations in the woods, the strange sandpit, even with Gwynn Street and the flat area down from Pilcher, but jumping (for joy) to conclusions doesn't make it so. Is the pond in the clubhouse sketch accurate or is it "artistic license?" Other historic maps put the clubhouse further back from the water's edge. If only the Harper's contained a Muss-Arnolt clubhouse photo.
In the meantime let's look closely at a newly discovered photo. This picture (circa 1910-1916) is borrowed from the family of James L. Ewell, the next owner of the Westminster property. The sunburst gable over the porch is a distinct feature. (Compare it to the archived "Pets" 3/15/07 photo of the whole clubhouse.) I can only identify the young boy-Birchard Bennett, a Ewell cousin from Connecticut and the dog- Teddy. Draw an imaginary arrow on a diagonal from the smiling lady's ankle, and we should hit Southard's Pond. Throw a ball on a diagonal left and tell Teddy to fetch, and he should reach Sensation's grave. That is, if in 1892, G. Muss- Arnolt decided to draw the real Babylon setting.
"Pets, Pets" Goes to the Garden: I'm excited to report that a version of my 2/8/07 "Pets", the first of 9 Babylon Westminster research columns, will appear this February in Westminster Kennel Club's 2008 Dog Show Media Guide Book, typeset in traditional "Westminster purple." No other color would do.
For Adoption: "Jezebel" #972 a sweet tan Shepherd mix at Oyster Bay Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset is ringing in 2008, in hopes that she along with her fellow shelter pets will have a brighter New Year. "Jezebel" has been waiting patiently for a loving home.
•More Dogs: "Winston" #1125- a chubby 1 yr. Airedale mix; "Bonnie" #1030- a Cattle Dog/Pointer who shows better out of the cage; "Smokey" #1097- a mature black Lab mix.
•Cat Contingent: "Randy" #1099- gray tabby used to kids; "Rocky" #952- a huge declaw; "Shelby" #874- petite tortie.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe used CIRCLE
[1] funds to:
The Oglala Sioux community has unemployment rates of 85 to 90 percent. Crime and social problems on the tribe's Pine Ridge Reservation are severe. Tribal political turmoil is common.
Ultimately, economic, social and political factors made it difficult for the CIRCLE partners to identify a means for lasting system change.
As a result,
evaluators examined the challenges the tribe faced in reforming its criminal justice system. These included:
These findings suggested that the Oglala Sioux Tribe should focus on modest, targeted changes rather than trying to reform the entire justice system. The evaluation team suggested several approaches:
For more information, see page 28 of the final report (pdf, 81 pages).
[note 1] The CIRCLE Project — the Comprehensive Indian Resources for Community and Law Enforcement Project — was a partnership of several agencies in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) with the Northern Cheyenne Tribe, Oglala Sioux Tribe and Pueblo of Zuni to strengthen the tribes' criminal justice systems. As part of the initiative, the National Institute of Justice and its DOJ partners funded an evaluation of the CIRCLE Project.
Funds came from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, Corrections Program Office, Bureau of Justice Assistance, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office for Victims of Crime, Office on Violence Against Women, and Office of the Comptroller. Some of this money would have been invested in Indian Country anyway; however, the native nations participating in CIRCLE received between 40 percent and 400 percent more from participating DOJ agencies than comparable tribes.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A few old-school video cameras, a cloned apartment, a sea of digital sharks, and an actress who helped herself to craft services were just a few tricks that international filmmakers employed in their Oscar nominated films.
The five directors nominated for this year's foreign language film Academy Award revealed on Saturday how they used movie magic:
— "No," an account of the advertising tactics used in the 1988 campaign to oust Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, was filmed with U-Matic video cameras to give the film a grainy VHS aesthetic similar to the political commercials it depicted.
"We got used to it, and we just started loving it," said director Pablo Larrain, who noted that the vintage cameras had less resolution than an iPhone. "When we get to see regular movies now, they look so sharp!"
— Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke based the apartment where much of his relationship drama "Amour" takes place on his parents' own home because it felt comfortable and inspired him when crafting the film about an elderly French couple. The apartment was built on a soundstage and digital effects were used in windows to make the cityscape come alive.
"It was an exact reproduction," said Haneke through a translator. "Not because their story had anything to do with what was happening on screen, but it gave me ideas and helped me find solutions when writing the script."
— The 18th century Danish period piece "A Royal Affair," which centers on the forbidden romance between the Queen of Denmark and royal physician and minister Johann Struensee, was filmed in Prague, not Denmark.
"No street in Copenhagen looks remotely like it used to look in the 1760s," said director Nikolaj Arcel. "But you can actually go to Prague, and they've quite beautifully kept some of these old streets and restored them."
— Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg, the directors of the Norwegian film "Kon-Tiki," digitally recorded their historical drama about the treacherous 1947 sea voyage of adventurer Thor Heyerdahl so they wouldn't run out of film.
Ronning said the filmmakers shot 140 terabytes worth of material — roughly about the size of 6,000 Blu-ray discs. They captured the boatload of footage because "Kon-Tiki" was shot in both Norwegian and English and included over 500 special effects shots.
— Kim Nguyen, the Canadian director of "War Witch," said his Congo-set drama about a young woman who becomes embroiled in an African rebellion was filmed chronologically, and that Rachel Mwanza, the film's 16-year-old star from the Congo, gained weight during production. It wasn't an issue because her character becomes pregnant in the film.
"She actually gained like 15 or 20 pounds during the film, which was perfect," said Nguyen. "Best special effect ever."

A last-gasp strike from Pedro Geromel snatched a point for Mallorca as the Islanders drew 1-1 with Osasuna on Saturday afternoon.
Giovani dos Santos and Ruben both had opportunities to put their respective sides ahead in the first half, but the opening goal didn't come until the last quarter-hour.
Osasuna edged ahead 15 minutes from time when Lolo headed in Alvaro Cejudo's corner kick from the edge of the six yard box.
However, the hosts claimed a point in the dying minutes when the Osasuna failed to clear a long punt up the park, giving Geromel the opportunity to head past Andres Fernandez, ensuring a steady start to Gregorio Manzano's third spell as coach of the home side.CELTA VIGO 0-1 VALENCIA
A goal in the closing seconds from Nelson Valdez saw Valencia claim all three points with a 1-0 win over Celta Vigo at Balaidos.
Los Che were coming off a commendable draw with Barcelona last weekend, and started this match in the same vein. They came extremely close to taking the lead through two chances just before half time when Tino Costa's attempt was cleared off the line and Adil Rami headed off the woodwork.
The points looked destined to be shared, but with barely any time remaining on the clock, Valencia substitute Nelson Valdez popped up to bullet a header home from Joao Pereira's superb cross from the right-hand side.
The victory was perfect preparation for Valencia before they go on to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this week.LEVANTE 1-2 MALAGA
Isco netted a brace as Malaga moved back into the coveted fourth Champions League place in La Liga with a narrow 2-1 win over Levante on Saturday evening.
They didn't get off to the best of starts though. Obafemi Martins was fouled inside the area by Martin Demichelis and Jose Barkero to dispatch the resulting penalty into the corner.
However, the visitors got back into the match with a spot kick of their own just 10 minutes later. Christian Lell was the perpetrator as he brought down Julio Baptista, allowing Isco to cooly convert the penalty.
The 20-year-old claimed his second goal of the match just two minutes into the second half when he directed Jeremy Toulalan's cross from the right past Gustavo Munua in the Levante goal with a right-footed strike.DEPORTIVO 0-3 GRANADA
Deportivo's hopes of avoiding relegation were dealt another blow as they were comfortably defeated 3-0 by Granada at the Riazor.
The hosts had a superb opportunity to take the lead just before the break when Diogo Salomao crossed in to Riki, but the Depor striker failed to react in time to make meaningful contact in the ball. This miss proved to be vital as a few minutes later they conceded when Nolito's header bounced of Marchena for an own goal.
Granada netted their second six minutes after the break when Guillherme Siqueira squared for Odion Ighalo, who fired home from the edge of the area.
Further misery was heaped on misery in the last minute. Ighalo was brought down in the area by Manuel Pablo, who was subsequently sent off for dissent to the referee. Siqueira converted the penalty to rubberstamp the win.
Real Sociedad moved up to eighth place in the Spanish Primera Division with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Real Zaragoza at La Romareda.
The visitors opened the scoring after just 10 minutes when Carlos Vela picked out Antoine Griezmann on the edge of the area and the Frenchman found the corner with a placed shot.
Zaragoza's task was made ever harder 11 minutes later when debutant, Hector, saw red after two bookable offences.
Sociedad marched on, and doubled their lead just after the half-hour mark when Imanol Agirretxe displayed superb strength to fend off challenges inside the area, before smashing a strike into the top corner.
Apono netted a penalty in the dying minutes to earn a consolation for the hosts, but the game was already won for Sociedad.
Athletic Bilbao's three-match unbeaten run came to an abrupt end as they were comprehensively defeated 4-0 by Espanyol at San Mames on Sunday evening.
The Basque side actually started the better of the sides, and should have gone ahead through Jon Aurtenetxe and Oscar De Marcos. However, Espanyol took the lead against the run of play 28 minutes in when Hector Moreno headed home for his first goal in nearly a year.
A three-minute period in the second half saw the Barcelona-based side kill off the match. Victor Sanchez headed home just before the hour mark and Christian Stuani broke past a lazy Athletic defence to turn in Victor Alvarez's cross from the right.
A horrible day at the office for the home side was compounded 15 minutes from time when Andoni Iraola brought down Alvarez inside the area. Joan Verdu missed his first opportunity from the penalty spot, but reacted quickest to stick in the rebound and round off a great day for Espanyol.
Atletico Madrid lost ground behind Barcelona at the top of the table as they were defeated 2-1 by Rayo in the Madrid derby.
The hosts got off to a perfect start and found themselves ahead after just three minutes. Cata Diaz failed to clear the danger inside the Atletico box and Lass Bangoura to full advantage to find the net from inside the six yard box.
Rayo doubled their lead just after the half-hour mark when Leo Baptisao got in front of Diaz at the front post to turn in Lass's cross.
Radamel Falcao pegged the score back with a close range finish in the last minute, but it proved to be too little too late for Diego Simeone's men.

"The drought of those who speak without depending on slides has ended at the 12th Australian national Linux conference. Last evening, Marshall Kirk McKusick, a well-known BSD hacker, took those assembled down a slightly different track - after all, this is a Linux conference - with his narrative history of BSD. And what a rollicking ride it was! [...] And the venue for his talk could hold only 100 people. He based his talk on notes he had made while travelling through Australia on a train in 1986 - he was a keynote speaker at the now-defunct Australian UNIX and Open Systems User Group conference in 1986."

Contact: Andre Kim
Washington, DC – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, who worked under Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in the Pontifical Council for the Family in the late '90's, released the following statement today in anticipation of Sunday's beatification ceremony:
"John Paul II was the Pope of Life and will be remembered as such through the centuries. The Church's beatification of him on May 1, recognizing the exemplary way in which he lived the Christian virtues, is also an opportunity for all of us to absorb and apply his teachings more profoundly. He called us to build a Culture of Life with a sense of urgency and confidence. 'The outcome of the battle for life is already decided,' he declared at World Youth Day in Denver. Yet we have to work to bring that battle to its completion. 'Woe to you if you do not succeed in defending life,' he warned.
"The worldwide ministry of Priests for Life rededicates itself today to the task of reminding the whole Church that, as John Paul II taught, there is no task more fundamental than defending the very right to life, on which every other right depends."
Joining in this commitment is the National Pro-life Religious Council, a coalition of many Christian denominations working to end abortion. In a statement also issued today, this Council declared,
"Pope John Paul II was a gift not only to the Roman Catholic community, but to the entire Body of Christ, as he pointed to Christ as the only source of life and hope for the human family. His courageous challenge both to the Church and to the State to defend the most vulnerable among us echoes the historic Christian teaching that life comes from God, belongs to God, and goes back to God.
"The National Pro-life Religious Council calls upon all Christians to recognize again that it is our discipleship of Jesus Christ, rather than any ideology or political platform, that impels us today and always to defend life and to eliminate from our midst the scourge of abortion. We thank the Lord for giving us such a powerful example of that commitment in Pope John Paul II."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit Priests for Life.

Volunteers come to aid of displaced Lebanon residents after floodsby MEGHAN PIERCE
]Union Leader Correspondent
July 03. 2013 2:09AM
LEBANON – All week the rivers in the Upper Valley region have been like foaming cups of coffee: the slightest jostle and they'll spill right over, said Red Cross volunteer Anna Mary Zigmann of South Royalton, Vt.
And that's just what the Mascoma River did Monday and Tuesday.
Tuesday afternoon, the Red Cross Central Vermont & the New Hampshire Valley Chapter set up an emergency shelter in Lebanon High School for those displaced by flooding and landslides.
Usually the chapter sets up a shelter in the Hartford High School across the river in Vermont, but this time the emergency is centralized in Lebanon.
Monday night about 20 residents of Rivermere, an affordable housing complex on Slayton Hill Road, were evacuated after the Mascoma River ran over and caused a landslide, said Bruce Pollack, Deputy Chief of the Red Cross Central Vermont & the New Hampshire Valley Chapter.
Tuesday afternoon intense rainfall caused more landslides that completely washed away the road. The remaining residents of the road had to hike over the landslide to evacuate.
About 20 to 30 more Rivermere residents were bused to the shelter at the high school. One woman was barefoot, the volunteers said.
"I have a friend who lives on Slayton Hill and when I called him he was at the bottom and said I don't know if my house is here or not," said volunteer Terry Grisby of Lebanon.
The Rivermere residents were given coffee, snacks and blankets and then were bused to a hotel.
The Twin Pines Housing Trust that owns Rivermere is putting all of its residents up in hotels during the ordeal, said Linda Nordman, who is the Red Cross volunteer coordinator for the area as well as a Twin Pines board member.
"The Trust has been really good in providing for residents of Rivermere," Nordman said.
The affordable housing complex had just opened and had held its ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, she said.
But the entire road, including private residences, was evacuated by city officials Tuesday as well as nearby Dulac Street after the landslide worsened, so the shelter was remaining open for the night, though there were no displaced people in need of the shelter at that time.
The Red Cross volunteers were ready with a full shelter in case of any evacuees came in.
The group was diligent about being prepared and had Hurricane Irene, which devastated the Upper Valley region in August 2011, on their minds.
"It has been Hurricane Irene high all week," Zigmann said of area rivers including White River in Vermont and the Connecticut River that divides the states.
Many of the volunteers joined the Red Cross during Irene and were deeply moved by working with evacuees that had lost everything in the floods caused by Irene, they said.
"I started with Irene and that bug just bit me. It bit me hard," Nordman said.
Even though the shelter was empty Tuesday night, except for volunteers and school staff, the pounding raid outside made Nordman think it was likely it would be needed, she said.
Tuesday night, Lebanon Fire Chief Chris Christopoulos, Jr. issued a warning to resident to use extreme caution while traveling on all city and state roads.
Numerous city roads are partially or completely impassable, he said.
He also reminded resident to not drive over roadways that are covered with water.

When it came time to locate the proper actress for the coveted role of identical twins in a remake of Disney's Hayley Mills classic "The Parent Trap" (1961), an exhaustive casting search occurred around the world. After three callbacks and one screen test, freckle-faced Long Islander Lindsay Lohan won the role. Although just 11 years old when cast, it would be her affiliation with Disney that would make her a household name amongst the teen set, particularly young girls who followed the actress/pop singer's every move. As the tomboy redhead grew into a curvy, beautiful teenager, she continued to impress critics with her work in the family films "Freaky Friday" (2003) and "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (2004), but it was apparent the talented girl was about to outgrow her mouse ears. With the release of Tina Fey's dark comedy, "Mean Girls" (2004), Lohan's fame catapulted to a new level of mainstream recognition. Her effervescent, no-holds-barred performance in the instant classic made her the star of the moment that year. However, at the peak of her fame, inevitable dramas began to unfold - mysterious hospitalizations, drastic weight loss, public break-ups with famous boyfriends, occasional fender-benders and reported bad behavior on set - all of which caused a shift in perception. Things went from bad to worse following several arrests for DUIs and even a carjacking incident which left even her most vehement supporters scratching their heads. Like many fallen child stars before her - a la Corey Haim, Drew Barrymore and countless others - her off-set behavior began affecting her ability to secure work. But drug arrests, paparazzi photos of a seemingly inebriated Lohan, and a public battle in the press with her family cast a dramatic pall over a once promising career, causing friends, family and fans to eventually fear not only for her career, but for her life.
Born July 2, 1986 in New York City, Lindsay Morgan Lohan was the oldest child of four born to mother Dina Lohan, a former Radio City Rockette, and Michael Lohan, a long-time Wall Street trader. Their daughter began modeling at age three and was purported to be the first red-haired child signed by the Ford Modeling Agency. Television commercials for various products followed, including a Jell-O spot with pitchman Bill Cosby. Lohan also had recurring roles on two daytime dramas - "Guiding Light" (CBS, 1952-2009) and as Ali Fowler on "Another World" (NBC, 1964-1999) - before she landed the first movie role for which she ever auditioned. Playing twins separated at birth - one American and one British - for "The Parent Trap" (1998) remake, she turned in a delightful and skilled performance which led to numerous offers for the youngster. Lohan next filmed the TV movie "Life-Size" (2000) opposite Tyra Banks as a Barbie-style doll come-to-life; part of Lohan's three-picture deal with Disney who was suitably impressed with the young girl's acting chops and effervescent onscreen appeal. Lohan was next cast as Bette Midler's teen daughter on the short-lived CBS sitcom, "Bette" (2000). After shooting the pilot episode, the show's producers decided to movie production to Los Angeles so Lohan gave up the role to stay in New York. Finding consistent work, she next played Lexy Gold in the Disney Channel telepic, "Get a Clue" (2002). The multi-talented performer also got the chance to pursue a musical career when Emilio Estefan, Jr. took her under his professional wing in 2002, offering up a five-album production deal to sell her popular style "with a rock edge" to a major record label. The busy youngster also worked as a model for Abercrombie & Fitch Kids (A&F Kids) and Calvin Klein Kids.
Even as she began to branch out professionally into other ventures, movie stardom remained the most important and rewarding aspect for Lohan, who was becoming recognized as an emerging big screen talent. Finally making the move to L.A. - where she roomed with child and future tween superstar Raven-Symoné - Lohan's potential was confirmed when she starred in another highly successful remake, "Freaky Friday" (2003) opposite Jamie Lee Curtis. As the mother-and-daughter team who wake up one day in each other's bodies, both Curtis and Lohan received raves from critics as well as sparking over $100 million at the box office. Showered with excellent reviews and attention, Lohan soon found her actions under increased scrutiny. The press eagerly reported on her public feud with fellow Disney teen queen Hilary Duff after the two briefly shared a boyfriend, singer Aaron Carter. Like Duff, Lohan also sought to blend an acting and singing career, and contributed her debut single, "Ultimate" to the "Freaky Friday" soundtrack. Her follow-up comedy, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" (2004), gave Lohan the blessing and curse of opening a movie all by herself. In the film, Lohan plays an egocentric teen who has renamed herself Lola and competes with classmates for attention. Although not a smash, the film did moderately well and Lohan proved she was a strong lead. She also continued to expand her music career, singing four songs from the film's soundtrack, including "Drama Queen (That Girl)," "What Are You Waiting For," "A Day in the Life," and a medley that incorporated the original song "Don't Move On" with her take on Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City" and David Bowie's "Changes."
Lohan broke through to superstardom with her next role, making her an international star and changing the course of both her career and her life. Taking the lead in the edgy "Mean Girls" (2004), a dark comedy penned by "Saturday Night Live" head writer-performer, Tina Fey, Lohan played Cady Heron, a teenager who has grown up in Africa with her zoologist parents. Unprepared for the complex, dangerous system of cliques and power struggles that go on among high school girls, Cady enrolls in an American high school and quickly finds herself a pawn, then a queen, in the game of popularity. With a strong cast of exceptional actresses - including Amanda Seyfried, Rachel McAdams, Amy Poehler and Lizzy Caplan - the film's exploration of female competition and its ultimately uplifting message of self-reliance and sisterhood won powerful champions across the board. Crossing over from the core teen and tween audiences, "Mean Girls" drew people of all ages and was quickly crowned an important and lasting film. At the epicenter of the film and its impact, Lohan saw her star power cemented, hosting several awards shows as well as "SNL" (NBC, 1975- ). Under the wing of new mentor Tommy Mottola, the famed head of Sony Music, Lohan released her first full album, Speak, which went platinum and featured the lead single "Rumors," in which she decried the increasing gossipy buzz that surrounded her every move.
Indeed, the young actress's rapidly maturing body and youthful sex appeal - combined with reports that she enjoyed the Hollywood nightlife, despite being underage - suddenly made her a hot topic for celebrity gossip. Media outlets of every sort covered Lohan's friendships with a fast crowd that included Paris Hilton, her supposed plastic surgeries, her string of famous boyfriends and alleged hard-partying - reports that Lohan herself denied. The actress also had to deal with press reports regarding her parents, portraying Dina as an enabler and hanger-on, and estranged father Michael Lohan as a menace to his own family. Dina and Michael Lohan's marriage had indeed been a turbulent one, and Michael did have several brushes with the law, including a legal restraining order preventing him from contact with his family as well as jail time for a litany of legal offenses. In a move that further estranged his famous daughter, Michael also sought to claim a percentage of his offspring's earnings. At this point, Lohan began a long stint living in hotels, most famously a lengthy stay at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont. Publicly, Lohan shook off the lurid press and Disney cast her in further family fare, this time in the remake of the studio's famous "Love Bug" franchise, "Herbie: Fully Loaded" (2005) as a young girl who inherits the magical Volkswagen Beetle and takes it to the NASCAR race circuit. Unfortunately, Lohan was now considered too voluptuous by Disney for the kids' movie and the company spent considerable sums to digitally decrease her bust size. As whispers increased on gossip blogs and outlets, Lohan's personal life drew official condemnation from the Mouse House. According to Vanity Fair, Lohan's behavior after a painful breakup with "That '70s Show" star (Fox 1998-2006) Wilmer Valderrama was one of the reasons she was dropped from the promotional tour and de-emphasized on the film's poster. The pressures of such intense global fame, coupled with personal turmoil finally took its toll on Lohan, who was hospitalized in October 2004, reportedly suffering from exhaustion and asthma.
This would not be the last time Lohan would be hospitalized for a variety of ailments. She was in her second auto accident of the year, again blaming pursuing paparazzi. The actress, who had risen to fame as a healthy, natural redhead, lost a large amount of weight and dyed her hair blonde, fueling more reports that her new appearance reflected an unhealthy lifestyle. Her private life made headlines yet again when she confessed to Vanity Fair that she had struggled with bulimia, accounting for her significant weight loss, and that she was shocked back to healthier ways after being confronted by "SNL" producer Lorne Michaels and Fey while hosting their show. She also admitted to experimenting with drugs. The cover story was released just as Lohan was hospitalized for a reported asthma attack in Miami in early 2006. Within a week, Lohan denied having made the statements to the magazine, saying her words were "misconstrued." Lohan's second album only added fuel to the fire: A Little More Personal (Raw) came out at the very end of 2005, with a controversial lead single. "Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)" was an aching power ballad from the perspective of an abused, neglected child to an absentee father. In the video, actors portraying the Lohan family live in a series of glass cases on display to a crowd. While the father hits the mother and trashes the living room, Lohan and her real-life sister, Ali, cower and cry. As a co-writer on the song as well as the video's director, Lohan could not have been unaware of the explicit, painful parallels between her music and real life. The song was Lohan's only charting single, but the album sank after moderate sales with no follow-up singles.
One thing detractors and fans agreed on, however, was Lohan's acting talent. Even in the atrocious bomb "Just My Luck" (2006), where Lohan played the world's luckiest woman who trades places with the world's unluckiest man, critics saw a career worth saving. In an attempt to get her fortunes back on track, Lohan left behind her teen image with more adult parts. She joined the impressive cast of Emilio Estevez's independent film "Bobby" (2006) - which included Anthony Hopkins and Sharon Stone - about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, and co-starred opposite Meryl Streep in Robert Altman's last film, "A Prairie Home Companion" (2006). She co-starred with her reported off-screen love interest, Jared Leto, in "Chapter 27" (2007), an indie film about a woman who befriends Mark David Chapman during the weekend in 1980 that he assassinates John Lennon in New York City. Little seen as these movies may have been, Lohan's willingness to tackle interesting parts in challenging movies was applauded. Still, the open secret of her increasingly wild lifestyle off set threatened to end her career. At first, Lohan's casting in "Georgia Rule" (2007) seemed like an ideal project to redeem the young actress and position her as a future great, worthy of a place alongside co-stars Jane Fonda and Felicity Huffman. While the final result was lambasted by critics and a box office failure, the most damning aspect of it all came during production.
Frustrated by Lohan's erratic attendance, producers took the unprecedented step of releasing to the media the contents of a scathing letter to Lohan, calling her various illnesses "bogus excuses" and accusing her of partying all night. James Robinson went on to write: "To date, your actions on Georgia Rule have been discourteous, irresponsible and unprofessional. You have acted like a spoiled child and in so doing have alienated many of your co-workers and endangered the quality of this picture. Moreover, your actions have resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. We will not tolerate these actions any further." At the same time online blogs and tabloid websites zoomed in on this now seemingly wayward actress, photographing her several times without underwear while wearing a short skirt. Lohan and fellow party girls Paris Hilton and Britney Spears seemed almost to enjoy the media frenzy they would cause. By the end of the 2006, GQ named Lohan its "Obsession of the Year." Days later, the press reported - and Lohan later confirmed but downplayed - that a doctor was called to the Chateau Marmont for a rumored overdose. This shocking announcement was followed in quick succession by her mother Dina admitting on Ryan Seacrest's radio program that her daughter had begun attending Alcoholics Anonymous.
Only weeks into the new year, Lohan was back in the news for entering rehab at L.A.'s Wonderland Treatment Center. Hopes that Lohan was on the road to permanent recovery were dashed when on May 26, 2007, Lohan was driving down Sunset Boulevard at and lost control of her car, crashing into a hedge and fleeing the scene of the accident. Police found what they believed was a "usable amount" of cocaine. Three days after the accident, Lohan checked herself into Promises Treatment Center in Malibu. She left rehab in late June and voluntarily agreed to wear an alcohol-monitoring device. Lohan - who turned 21 that summer - quietly surrendered to Beverly Hills Police for her Memorial Day weekend incident and faced charges for a misdemeanor hit and run, as well as driving under the influence. Mere days after turning herself in, however, Lohan was arrested in Santa Monica shortly after midnight after police received a frantic report of a car chase. The vehicle in pursuit was driven by Lohan, and the vehicle being chased was driven by the mother of Lohan's personal assistant, who had quit her employment earlier in the evening. Lohan was taken into custody in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Civic Center, refusing a field sobriety test. Back at the station, she registered a blood alcohol level of about 0.12, well above the California legal limit of 0.08. She was later charged with suspicion of drunken driving, possession of cocaine, bringing a controlled substance into custody and driving on a suspended license. Lohan was released on $25,000 bail and was set to be arraigned on Aug. 24, 2007 - the same day she was scheduled to appear in Beverly Hills for her Memorial Day weekend DUI.
Lohan did a third stint in rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah, where she met and started a brief relationship with snowboarder Riley Giles, which set off another round of gossip blog activity. She pled guilty to cocaine use and driving under the influence, and on November 15, served 84 minutes in jail and was put on probation for three years. Because of her legal troubles, Lohan pulled out of an appearance on "The Tonight Show" (NBC, 1954- ) to promote her new film, the dark thriller "I Know Who Killed Me" (2007). Playing dual roles in the film, Lohan faced a serial killer with an affinity for blue knives and dismemberment. Responding perhaps more to the popular perception of Lohan and her notoriety, the film was declared one of her worst and was showered with Razzie awards and damning reviews. Despite her struggles personally and professionally, Lohan still had supporters who believed in her ability. James Robinson, the producer who had penned the infamous "Georgia Rule" letter, told reporters that if Lohan received proper medical care, he would work with her again, since she was "one of the most talented young women in the movie business today."
At the same time she appeared to be crumbling in the spotlight, Dina, often accused by critics of using her famous daughter to fuel her own show business dreams, received her own reality show, "Living Lohan" (E!, 2008). Focusing on herself and her attempts to make younger daughter Ali the next star of the family, the show was universally panned, with some detractors expressing shock at Dina's perceived parenting irresponsibility. With three different stints in jail under his belt, Michael Lohan became even more vocal, giving interviews about Lindsay and to Lindsey when she would refuse to speak to him. While Dina and Ali's profiles faded after the cancellation of their reality show, Michael became a prominent fixture on gossip outlets, seemingly thriving on the very scandals which he claimed to be quelling. As interest in the other Lohans shrank, tabloid and blog interest in Lindsay remained insatiable, with a series of pictures of Lohan playing with knives and striking hom rotic poses with another woman at a party making the rounds. At times, she seemed to actively court controversy, recreating Marilyn Monroe's oft-nude "Last Sitting" photo shoot for New York magazine, creating uneasy parallels between the two troubled stars. Perhaps the most damning indictment of Lohan's reputation came when she volunteered to lend her face, image and time to help with the Obama presidential campaign and was denied because of her notoriety.
Consistently linked romantically in the press to a long list of male celebrities, Lohan surprised many when she began a romantic relationship with Samantha Ronson, a famous local DJ and singer who had performed a song on the "Mean Girls" soundtrack. Cagey at first with the press, eventually both Ronson and Lohan acknowledged their unlikely relationship to surprisingly strong public response, with the general belief being that Ronson seemed to be a stable, grounding influence on Lohan. Ronson received a large dose of reader sympathy as well when Michael Lohan blasted her in a vicious, homophobic press attack - which he later recanted. The is-she-or-isn't-she ambiguity gave Lohan's profile a huge bump, and reports of quarrels with Ronson only added to the increased fascination. When Ronson and Lohan officially split in 2009 - with Ronson and her family going to extreme measures to separate themselves from the troubled actress - gossip outlets could not cover the story gleefully enough.
Playing off a dramatic "I'm So Alone!" headline and cover story US Weekly had splashed across newsstands, Lohan made a comedic dating ad for the website "Funny or Die." In the spot, which parodied a ubiquitous series of eHarmony commercials, Lohan poked fun at her struggles with the law, with drugs, and with her reputation, saying: "So if you think you can handle a redhead with a little bit of sass, and by that I mean, a redhead who's crazy, I mean, don't pretend like you don't know me, we've all read about it. We'll crash a few parties, crash a car or two but at the end of the day I promise you, I never lose my Google hits, just my underwear." The video became an Internet sensation and Lohan earned her first good reviews in a long time for the funny piece, which she conceived and co-wrote - a hopeful sign that she was turning a corner and was more than a little self aware of her now obvious issues. Lohan's career seemed to be back on track when the producers of the hit show "Ugly Betty" (ABC, 2006-10) made a very public show of good faith by hiring her to appear in a six-episode arc in which she played a former high school bully of Betty's (America Ferrera) who comes back into her life, asking for forgiveness. Although all eyes were on Lohan, the comeback attempt backfired. Lohan's six episodes were cut down to four, and even though the official word remained positive, it was reported that Lohan's unprofessional behavior or feuding with Ferrera were the true cause. Still, Lohan's efforts were enough to get her cast as the star of another movie intended for theatrical that went directly to TV, "Labor Pains" (ABC Family, 2009), the story of a young office worker who pretends to be pregnant to save her job. In the end, the comedown from A-list film star to ABC Family cast a pall over any success the movie enjoyed.
While her acting career floundered, Lohan was having more success with a fashion line, 6126 (invoking Marilyn Monroe's birthday), that developed into a full collection from a start of just making leggings. The brand's success allowed Lohan to release a self-tanning spray, Sevin Nyne, in collaboration with Sephora, and to enjoy an amazing opportunity: being named artistic advisor for fashion house Emanuel Ungaro in September 2009. Unfortunately, the collection presented under Lohan's tenure was considered "disastrous" and she was dismissed the following year. She also made news in 2010 for filing a $100 million lawsuit against the financial company E*TRADE - famous for its talking baby ads - for a commercial in which the E*TRADE baby is accused of stepping out with a little girl called "that milkaholic, Lindsay." Professionally, Lohan's career got a surprising, albeit small-spike, in popularity when trailers for Robert Rodriguez's campy "Machete" (2010) started to hit. Starring Danny Trejo as a Mexican bounty hunter, the purposely trashy film was meant to lovingly evoke the grungy, graphic action films of previous decades, built around a well-received fake trailer from "Grindhouse" (2007). In a surprising cast that included Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba and Steven Seagal, Lohan caught attention aiming a gun while dressed as a nun, at least channeling her notoriety into a film project. However, once again it was her off set antics - falling down outside of clubs, hurling insults at her ex-girlfriend Ronson, etc. that continued to fascinate the public. Her life had become the ultimate Hollywood "trainwreck" - with perhaps one of the most indicative moments occurring when her father released sobbing, private phone messages from his own daughter to the press, claiming he was pushing the issue of rehab publicly to force her hand.
Courtrooms and legal woes remained very much a part of Lohan's world in 2010, when she attended the Cannes Film Festival in May, ostensibly to promote being cast in an upcoming biopic as "Deep Throat" (1972) porn star Linda Lovelace. While continuing a streak of missing or postponing court dates and hearings for violating the terms of her DUI probation, Lohan reached the end of L.A. judge Marsha Revel's patience when she failed to appear at a May 20th court appearance, claiming that she was unable to leave Cannes because her passport was stolen. The judge issued a bench warrant for Lohan's arrest. After posting bail, Lohan appeared in court shortly after her arrival in the States, where she was again ordered to attend alcohol education classes once a week and was fitted with a SCRAM alcohol monitoring bracelet. Despite making some last minute effort to attend alcohol education meetings, the SCRAM bracelet alarm was triggered the night of the MTV Movie Awards. Bail was revoked and then re-posted. On July 6, Lohan appeared in court for her official probation hearing and, with her estranged father Michael in attendance, was found in violation of probation and sentenced by the unsympathetic judge to 90 days in jail, followed by a mandatory 90-day stay in an in-house rehab center. As the actress openly sobbed in court, she was ordered to surrender on July 20. Two weeks later on the predetermined date, Lohan surrendered to the court and began her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA. After serving 14 days of her sentence, Lohan was released and immediately put into a UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital rehab at UCLA. Under the doctor's supervision, Lindsay was released early from that as well, with them declaring they did not believe her to be an addict; more that she was simply misdiagnosed with ADHD and put on a medication (Adderall) she did not require.
It came as a shock to some; not to others, when less than a month after being released on probation from UCLA and during the publication of a mea culpa Vanity Fair cover story in which she stated she was determined to get her life and career back on track, Lohan failed two drug tests for cocaine and amphetamines. On September 19, Lohan's probation was revoked and another bench warrant issued for her arrest. This time, she Tweeted, she was "ready to face the consequences of her actions." Only days later, the judge denied bail and reprimanded her into custody immediately. It was believed the actress would spend significantly more time behind bars this time, due to denial of bail. However, only hours after her arrival back at Lynwood, Lohan was released after her lawyer appealed that the actress was legally entitled to bail, as it was misdemeanor charges and not felony. Lohan wasted little time before checking herself into the Betty Ford Center in Palm Springs, CA where she remained before her next court appearance. On October 22, Lohan dodged a bullet by being ordered back to rehab till the new year. She would serve no jail time. While in rehab, she welcomed her father, Michael Lohan, back into her life. On a darker note, she was accused of assaulting a Betty Ford employee, but charges were not filed against her. When she was released from rehab in January 2011, it did not take long for the actress - who appeared to be committed to her sobriety this time - to make headlines yet again when she was accused of stealing a necklace worth over $2,000 from a Venice, CA jewelry store. On February 8, Lohan entered a plea of not guilty in the felony grand theft charge. Before remanding her into custody, Judge Keith Schwartz set her bail at $20,000 and warned, "If you violate the law, I will remand you and there will be no bail." The judge also revoked Lohan's probation in the previous DUI case and set this bail at $20,000, totaling $40,000. During her February 23rd hearing, Lohan refused to cop a plea and do jail time, instead choosing to go to trial. On April 22, she was sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating her probation, though the charge was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor, and it was made clear to her she would stand trial for the theft.
In May of 2011, Lohan was sentenced to another 120 days in jail after pleading no contest in the jewelry theft case. However, chronic jailhouse overcrowding led to the troubled actress serving out her time under house arrest, while fitted with an electronic monitoring device on her ankle. Despite being admonished for having parties during her sentence, Lohan was released from home confinement 35 days later. Back in court she was instructed to resume the community service work previously required of her at both the Los Angeles Downtown Women's Center and the Los Angeles County Morgue, in addition to regularly scheduled therapy sessions. In October, a visibly irate Judge Stephanie Sautner ordered Lohan to be handcuffed and taken back to jail after the actress "blew off" her community service work at the Women's Center. After posting bail and later admitting that she had once again violated her probation, Lohan was sentenced to another 30 days in jail. She served less than seven hours before being released. An exasperated Judge Sautner then ordered Lohan to complete her remaining community service at the L.A. County Morgue, as the Women's Center felt Lohan would be a "bad example" and refused to have her back. Then, just as it seemed to many that the embattled star would never turn things around, a period of calm and focus - gratefully acknowledged by the judge in several probation reviews - preceded a number of high-profile, non-legal related appearances by Lohan. In the January 2012 issue of Playboy magazine, a platinum-blonde Lohan caused a stir by posing for a nude pictorial that recreated Marilyn Monroe's infamous nude calendar. Two months later, she hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the fourth time. Poking fun at herself and her recent foibles in many of the skits, a clearly game Lohan earned high marks from both critics and the show's cast. Near the end of that month - after completing 50 hours of janitorial service at the county morgue and successfully attending multiple therapy sessions - Lohan was deemed to have satisfied all the terms of her probation. Placed on an informal probation until 2014 for the jewelry theft conviction, the judge optimistically told Lohan that she need only obey the law in order to stay out of jail.
Enjoying her first bit of positive media buzz in years, Lohan prepared herself for a career comeback with a planned guest spot on the musical series "Glee" (Fox, 2009-2015) and a role as film icon Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime Channel biopic "Liz and Dick." Unfortunately, drama continued to follow the actress. In the summer of 2012, while shooting the Taylor biopic, Lohan rear-ended a semi truck on the Pacific Coast Highway and claimed to police on the scene that she was not behind the wheel. After wrapping the TV movie, she found herself in headlines yet again when her father leaked a phone conversation to the media in which his hysterical daughter claimed Dina was partying with her and out of control on cocaine. She later denied what she said in the call, insisting she would never speak to Michael again. In November, "Liz and Dick" premiered to decent Lifetime ratings but was skewered in the press, with most reviewers taking potshots at the actress for being wildly miscast and the film being virtually unwatchable. Days later, she was arrested in New York City for allegedly assaulting a fellow clubgoer, at the same time finding charges filed against her on the West Coast for lying to police at the scene of her summer car accident. Not surprisingly, her probation was revoked in December. Still struggling artistically as well, Lohan appeared as herself in both the broad comedy "Scary Movie 5" (2013) and Sofia Coppola's satirical biopic "The Bling Ring" (2013). Her next screen appearance came in Paul Schrader's "The Canyons" (2014), a film overshadowed by reports of tumult on the set that included a harrowing January 2013 New York Times feature called "Here is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie." An eight-episode reality series called "Lindsay" (OWN 2014) broke down over the course of its filming when Lohan suffered a miscarriage. Later that year, she made her stage debut in a London revival of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow," in a role originated by Madonna in the 1985 production.

Milestones close milestones
Lohan has her own website at www.llrocks.com
"I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing." --Lindsay Lohan quoted in DAILY NEWS, July 22, 1998
Lohan was named one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People for 2004
"I'm 17, says Lohan. I'm learning, and I'd rather make my own mistakes and learn from them than have to be sheltered my whole life."---Lohan on her reputation in the media to People May 24, 2004
"I don't know what the Hollywood rules are exactly, but I know I don't like them."---Lohan to Interview June 2004
"I feel like a lot of the time the tabloids build you up just to take you down. I think it's because I'm 18, and I could go off the deep end, and they could make up rumors about me doing drugs and going crazy and never acting again. Or I could prove myself and mature into an actor."---Lohan quoted to GQ, October 2004.
"In a way I think it's cool that people want to know about me. But in another it's weird because they don't get the full story anyway."---Lohan to Movieline's Hollywood life, May/June 2005.

So another year has passed, and I'm back to wondering where we are with our cesarean awareness 'campain.' I'm somewhat 'skirting' the loop (not really inside or outside of it, just around), so I'm not your most up to date source. For truly outstanding resources related to cesarean awareness, read Unnecessarean and VBAC facts for starters!
A couple of things that have my attention lately:
- Our national cesarean rate is staggering, and some predict that by 2020, 1/2 of our births will be done by cesarean. We must be vigilant!
- Montana needs a Friends of Montana Midwives group
- Montana's cesarean rate is 29% just below the national average. However, some counties in MT have super high cesarean rates. Why is that? (Carter County had a 65.4% c/s rate 2005-08 according to the March of Dimes!!!!)
- Birth activist are working so hard – it's just awesome! Thank you to all who are gettin' it done!!
- According to Childbirth Connection, "A high-quality, high-value maternity care system is within reach, and childbearing women are the most important stakeholders to drive system change." Have a look and see what you can do!
- Also, through Childbirth Connection, I've learned about relevant legislation that has been introduced. This legislation needs our support!!
- ICAN is getting ready for the 2011 conference – wish I could be there . . .
Because I'm pregnant I'm in a great position to find out even more about what is being done locally and what still needs work. I have found – contrary to what my OB told me – that a few OBs will consider VBA2C on a case by case basis. I have discovered that our only independent birth center, run by a fantastic CNM, does VBACs (even primary!) but not VBAmC. I have lots of friends who are pregnant these days and have learned a lot about local practices.
Because I'm pregnant with #4 and work a full time job (one that often has me out of town on weekends in the Spring and has me out at night), I haven't had the time & energy to get more aggressive. This too shall change, and when it does – LOOK OUT! 😉
In the meantime . . . what can you do?

Founders: David and Ginger Christian,
Oasis Life Ministries meets weekly at Summit located on 3104 Hanover Road in Johnson City, TN. Each week David Christian, who served as an associate pastor for twelve years in Atlanta, GA teaches how to live by faith in your daily life with a practical approach. His teachings are laced with the realities of serving Jesus Christ while in the earth, creating an atmosphere of acceptance, and training people in character traits which will propel them into their divine destiny.
Oasis Life Ministries will includes:
An external (mission) focused ministry with the truth that we are all equal ministers with different gifts. People development is primary over program development. A Kingdom oriented leadership agenda where the leaders are servants to the people enabling them to minister in their personal daily service in the world. Also, children are not seen as the next generation but the "now" generation.
Childrens Ministry is provided at each meeting.
We are clearly living in a new movement of the Holy Spirit where people are hungry for knowledge and empowered by it. Abundant life is no longer defined by possessions - it is now stabilized by relationship with Christ, obedience to God, and intentional personal development to create skillful disciples who accomplish their personal mission from God.
