- (until the official pic is there) Expectant mother Crown Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, who earlier this month was prescribed bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy, will be giving birth sooner than was once thought, the Dutch royal palace has announced. When the pregnancy was revealed in June, the due date was set for January 2004. However, according to a new palace press release, doctors who are currently treating the princess expect the birth to take place before the end of the year.The crown princess, who wed the heir to the Dutch throne, Crown Prince Willem-Alexander, in 2002, is suffering from pregnancy-related disorder preeclampsia, a rapidly progressive condition charachterised by high blood pressure. Though Maxima has been resting at home, her most recent checkup results show that both she and the baby, her first child, are in good health. |

On Trial (Dec 07 2003 14:54 GMT) - Back on August 20th, I made a blog entry discussing the death of motorcyclist Randolph Scott, who was killed in a collsion with South Dakota state Representative William Janklow. Janklow's trial is now underway, and yesterday, Janklow was called by his defense lawyer to testify. The defense is centered on an argument that Janklow, who has diabetes, was suffering from severe low blood sugar at the time of the crash, since Janklow claims that he had nothing to eat for 18 hours before the accident. The State Representative did admit on the stand to a penchant for speeding, and also admitted that at he may have run stop signs at full speed on occasion. Sobbing on the stand and repeatedly claiming that he has no recollection of the crash, Janklow said "you can't imagine what this is like. |
