Prosecutors say dead babies were found clothed

UXBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — At least two of the three babies whose skeletal remains were found in a filthy Massachusetts home may have been alive "for some period of time" before they were found, prosecutors said in court on Tuesday.

Both bodies were found wearing diapers and one-piece infant outfits in closets in the vermin-infested Blackstone home, assistant district attorney John Bradley said at a pretrial hearing for Erika Murray in Uxbridge District Court.

Murray, 31, of Blackstone, had been held without bail since her arraignment last month on charges of fetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child.

A judge on Tuesday ordered Murray held on $1 million cash bail. A prosecutor had asked for $5 million cash bail.

The state Department of Children and Families removed four children ranging in age from 6 months to 13 years from Murray's home in August after her 10-year-old son went to a neighbor's house and asked for help in quieting a crying baby.

The neighbor found the youngest child covered in feces and a 3-year-old child. After interviewing the older children, police got a search warrant and went back to the house, where they found the skeletal remains of one baby with a full head of hair in a backpack in

upcoming movies based on games

Hollywood has produced tons of stellar adaptations. "The Godfather" was translated beautifully from Mario Puzo’s novel. "Driving Miss Daisy" hit no speedbumps in its move from stage to screen. "The Avengers" turned the comic-book series into a pop-culture juggernaut.

When it comes to games, though, film studios have yet to find the magic formula. That hasn’t stopped them from trying. Here are 9 upcoming films that are based on games.

Tetris. Having produced the "Mortal Kombat" films in the 1990s, Threshold Entertainment knows a thing or two about movies based on games. This one is a head-scratcher, though. The company envisions this 30-year-old puzzle game as an "epic sci-fi story," which is interesting since Tetris is neither sci-fi nor epic. Since the film was only announced last week, it has no cast, director, or producer yet, so for now, we’ll remain puzzled.

  

Candy Land. Adam Sandler is set to star in this adaptation of the tasty kid’s board game, but it’s currently stuck in Sticky Lawsuit Swamp. Landmark Entertainment Group claims it came up with characters like King Kandy and Princess Lolly and in turn has sued Hasbro, saying the company didn't have the rights to license the game to Sony. Sandler and Robert Smigel (who also cut his teeth at Saturday Night Live) were last said to be working on the screenplay, with Kevin (Enchanted) Lima set to direct.

Insight - Nigeria's 'megachurches': a hidden pillar of Africa's top economy

View gallery

Worshippers, dressed in traditional attires, attend a church service at the Living Faith Church, als …

When a guesth ouse belonging to one of Nigeria's leading Christian pastors collapsed last month, killing 115 mostly South African pilgrims, attention focussed on the multimillion-dollar "megachurches" that form a huge, untaxed sector of Africa's top economy.

Hundreds of millions of dollars change hands each year in these popular Pentecostal houses of worship, which are modelled on their counterparts in the United States.

Some of the churches can hold more than 200,000 worshippers and, with their attendant business empires, they constitute a significant section of the economy, employing tens of thousands of people and raking in tourist dollars, as well as exporting Christianity globally.

But exactly how much of Nigeria's $510 billion GDP they make up is difficult to assess, since the churches are, like the oil sector in Africa's top energy producer, largely opaque entities.

"They don't submit accounts to anybody," says Bismarck Rewane, economist and CEO of Lagos consultancy Financial Derivatives. "At least six church leaders have private jets, so they have money. How much? No one really knows."

When Nigeria recalculated its GDP in March, its economy became Africa's biggest, as previously poorly captured sectors such as mobile phones, e-commerce and its prolific "Nollywood" entertainment industry were specifically included in estimates.

There was no such separate listing for the "megachurches", whose main source of income is "tithe", the 10 percent or so of their income that followers are asked to contribute.

As the churches have charity status, they have no obligation to open their books, and certainly don't have to fill in tax returns -- an exemption that is increasingly controversial in

Top four things women hate men for

Most women have a very forgiving heart, especially when it comes to their love. However, there are certain things that most women hate and when men do those things and make those mistakes, most women find it hard to overlook them. Hence, all men should try and avoid making these mistakes always when in a relationship. Here are a few mistakes that men make and women hate:

 1. Sometimes, men become way too

For Wives – 7 Kind Of s*x Men Love!!!

Want to spice things up in the bedroom? Make his night and drive him crazy with these s*x positions that men love. Ultimately, s*x is about love and intimacy, so while the positions are part of the fun, the real payoff is the way various maneuvers allow you to connect and explore each other in different ways.

 1. Woman on Top: Ask your guy what drives him crazy in the bedroom, and we’re betting he’ll say it’s pleasing you. This sexy position puts you in the driver’s seat, and that’s exactly where he wants you. Take advantage of being in control and set the pace according to what you like, leaving his hands free to roam. The bonus? He loves having your curves in full view…so flip on the lights and give him a show.

2. Missionary: This standard go-to is a favorite because it puts him in control, while still being intimate: your hips are free to do all the work, and you can lock lips and eyes with ease. And while he’s in the power position on top of you, the two of you can set the pace together. If you want him to go slower or deeper, put your hands on his hips and guide him. The best s*x is like a conversation, and missionary allows you to communicate with your bodies.

 3. Reverse Cowgirl: This reverse variation of the woman on top position is the best of both worlds for your guy. It gives him the sexy view he gets during doggie style but it puts you in control. This position doesn’t allow for a ton of touching or eye contact, but it’s a nice contrast to some of the more classic, romantic positions. If you’re craving a connection flash a look back at him while you’re doing your thing—it’ll drive both of you over the edge.

 4. Doggie Style: This rear entry positions puts him in control, allowing him to call the shots and to go at the speed that’s best for him. Plus, it allows for deeper penetration, making him feel like king in the bedroom. Some women love the intense full feeling, but if it feels like too much, let him know. Communication is key to enjoying s*x and experiencing the full psychological benefits of physical intimacy.

 5. Standing Up: Getting it on while standing up is probably not your go-to move, but it’s perfect for that sweaty, gotta-have-you-now s*x that’ll make him feel irresistible. Whether he’s bending you over the new kitchen table or you’re steadying yourself against the wall, this spontaneous position is perfect for a quickie.

 6. Spooning: s*x while spooning is the ultimate intimate position, and a go-to for when you’re feeling lazy and affectionate. Not only does it give him total access to your body, it also frees your digits up so that you can give yourself a hand, a move that’s sure to drive him wild. Make it even hotter by twisting your body and head slightly towards him so you can smooch while his hands roam. Afterward you can slip into an easy, snuggley sleep.

 7. The Lap Dance: Pull up a chair and have him take a seat while you get on top. He’ll love the look and feel of you straddling him, and having you in control will help him last longer, too. A bonus? Unlike the standard woman-on-top position, this ones allows for you to stay super close, kiss, and make eye contact. Plus, he still gets to be aggressive with his hands, tugging on your hair, rubbing your back, and pulling you closer.

A pastor from a church in Dandora Phase 2, an eastern suburb Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, has ordered all female members to go to the church ‘free’ – That is without bras and panties for Christ to enter their lives.

To M.I - a Call to Face the Music

A few weeks ago, I caught a tweet by my good friend and Chocolate City executive, Lanre "Elbama" Onipede, replying a blogger who is purported to have said that M.I had a bad year (2013). It was apparent that the said blogger's assertion did not go down well with Mr. Onipede who tweeted, "If by getting two endorsement deals running into millions, a new house, two new posh cars, a state appointment is bad, then M.I had a BAD year." I found Lanre's reply particularly discomforting because I felt it did not take into account the possibility that the said blogger behind the "abominable remark" might have been a M.I fan; and I think he/she is. I also want to believe that the fellow was equally aware of every one of those "grand achievements" carefully detailed by Lanre in his reply. But the

Nigeria: Unsavoury Tale of Top Crooners Who Dumped Their Labels 3 March 2014 ,

 Vanguard Nigerian record labels are not enjoying the best of times, with artistes leaving them unceremoniously and not honouring their contracts . On the flipside, the average artiste will be enthusiastic to tell you that they have “divorced” the record label they were formerly signed to because of unfavourable contractual clauses .

Mo’cheddah

 Modupe Oreoluwa Oyeyemi a.k.a Mocheddah was the first ever Nigerian to be featured on MTV Base’s MTV Brand New series, that happened while she was still with her former record label, Knight House. Mocheddah held big promises and served her fans hit songs like ’Koma Roll’. But the game changed when she left her label and ever since, she has been struggling to eke out relevance for herself in the industry .

Eva signed a contract with Trybe Records in May 2012, but five months later, they went their separate ways. In a statement released by Eldee’s Trybe Records:“ Trybe Records and Eva Alordiah have agreed to terminate their recording contract effective immediately”

But sources have revealed that the real reason Jagz Nations boss left the label was because of creative differences and a weak promotion of his brand. Unlike many of his mates, the crooner seemed to have made a wise choice as things look to be on the up and up for him even when he had to be.
