Shadow B'betsy Diagnosed With Hepatic Lipidosis

Hepatic lipidosis, otherwise known as Fatty Liver Syndrome, is an accumulation of fats in the liver. It is idiopathic (or has no known cause), although it might result from the way Kattes metabolize proteins. Shadow B'betsy was chauffeured to her doctor after maids noticed jaundice, refusal to eat, and loss of weight. She was immediately diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis. It all started when B'betsy refused to eat. Lacking food, her body started sending fat cells to the liver to process into lipoproteins for fuel. Much of the fat was stored in the liver cells. Left untreated, the liver would fail and the Katte would die. It is fortunate that B'betsy was diagnosed quickly.

Senate Approves Change to Constitution

The Senate today approved a change to the constitution that would, if ratified, allow sectors to elect 2 senators. It passed 98-63. Senator Bob Kim of the Cenian Central Party spoke out in favor of the amendment: "If passed, it would allow sectors to elect minority party senators more often and would allow sectors to split their Senate vote for 2 parties, instead of settling for one of the opposition who had a few billion more votes than they did." But Opposition Leader Kartot Tarat was in outrage: "This would allow our enemies to gain more support in the Senate. That is why I ask you to vote NO to this measure!"
