Huffington Post: 'Octomom' Nadya Suleman Off Welfare, Thanks To Stripping, Porn

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:21 AM PDT

When Nadya "Octomom" Suleman was driven to seek government assistance, she told me she was deeply embarrassed about getting herself into such a financial mess. She said, "[I] would do anything to provide for my kids. I'm the one who got into the bad position, and I will be the one to get myself out of it." And now, after just a few months, Suleman is no longer on welfare.

"Nadya has been working very hard to support her children," a friend of the mother of 14 tells me. "She has made over six figures since she was at her very lowest point in March when she was forced to get [government] help. She has learned her lesson."

With the help of her manager, Gina Rodriguez, who booked Suleman a slew of appearance deals (including stripping and boxing), a solo porn tape and several endorsements, Suleman thinks the future could be bright for her and her children.

Huffington Post: 'No Show, No Pay Act' Is Latest Longshot Bill To Cut Congressional Pay

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:26 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- A bill to dock pay for members of Congress who miss votes is the latest token effort to cut congressional salaries.

"Our primary duty as members of Congress is to advocate on behalf of our constituency, which means when votes are called, you're supposed to show up and cast votes," Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.), the bill's author, said at a press conference Friday. "Some of our colleagues seem to take this duty very lightly, or for granted, and refuse to accept that responsibility."

Rank-and-file members of Congress earn annual salaries of $174,000, and the current session has seen a plethora of bills that would reduce that amount, either directly or by tying it to economic indicators or whether Congress has passed a budget.

Huffington Post: Obama Administration Blocks International Treaty To Benefit The Blind

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:27 AM PDT

WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration is blocking the creation of an international treaty designed to protect access to books and reading material for blind people in poor countries.

The administration's move to stall the treaty comes after President Barack Obama vowed to support an "international instrument" to ensure the global blind population has access to reading materials. Advocates for the blind are strongly in favor of the treaty, while corporate publishers, who profit from the global status quo, are opposed.

Negotiations are currently taking place in Geneva, Switzerland, before a United Nations panel, and are scheduled to conclude on Wednesday. Nonprofit organizations representing the interests of the blind say the American delegation has been effective in negotiating substantive provisions in the pact that would help people living with disabilities. But they say the U.S. is balking at efforts to make those provisions part of a binding international treaty. Instead, the U.S. is seeking a non-binding slate of policy recommendations, which advocates for the blind worry would not effectively remove barriers to educational reading materials that are currently in place.

Posted: 23 Jul 2012 10:30 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES -- A judge has ruled that a San Bernardino County school district abused its discretion in rejecting a parent petition for reforms at a failing elementary school, paving the way for the first use of California's controversial "parent-trigger" law.

In a decision handed down late Friday, Superior Court Judge Steve Malone ordered the Adelanto Elementary School District to accept the petition filed by the Desert Trails Parents Union within 30 days and to immediately seek proposals from charter school operators to take over Desert Trails Elementary School.
