A girl born with eight limbs is OK after surgery. Lakshmi, an Indian girl, was born with four legs and four arms. She had been revered by some in her village as a reincarnation of the Hindu goddess for which she was named after. Lakshmi was born joined at the pelvis to a “parasitic twin” that stopped developing in her mother’s womb. Lakshmi absorbed the limbs, kidneys and other body parts of the undeveloped fetus. A team of more than 30 surgeons spent 24 hours removing the extra limbs. Lakshmi is in intensive care but is responsive and doing well.

On Monday, November 5, television and movie writers went on strike. The writers wanted compensation for the earnings of their work that appears on the web. The companies know that they will make their money off of the Internet and DVDs instead of reruns and they are lowballing the writers. The writers are not getting compensated nearly as much as they do for reruns and they feel the need to go on strike. This is raising the question "How much is media in the digital age?" The production companies and writers will look to solve this issue over the coming weeks as the strike continues.

Adrian Peterson is a beast. A rookie from Oklahoma University, Peterson is on track to have the best season of any rookie running back ever. Peterson was drafted 7th overall by the Minnesota Vikings but he is looking like he should have gone first. After learning the offense and slowly assimilating himself into a starting role, Peterson has shaken questions about his prone to injury and durability. Last week he broke the all-time rushing record for most yards in a game with 296 yards against the San Diego Chargers.
