WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin (D-MD), Chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) and Co-Chairman Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) today released the following joint statement on the situation in Kyrgyzstan.
"We urge calm in Kyrgyzstan and express our condolences to families who have lost loved ones during the last several days of unrest. We continue to monitor events as the situation remains fluid, but it appears that, for the second time in five years, the Kyrgyz government has fallen to protesters.
"All involved should resolve the current crisis peacefully, without further violence and with respect for the rule of law. The looting should stop immediately.
"We support OSCE efforts to assist in resolving this crisis and provide a needed forum for dialogue in the country. The swift actions of OSCE Chair-in-Office Saudabayev to send a special envoy to Bishkek are to be applauded.
"We support the stated goals of the interim government to reform the constitution and electoral code and to reverse the repressive record of the previous government.
"The Tulip Revolution, which brought President Bakiev to power, did not produce the hoped-for results for the people of Kyrgyzstan and was marked by corruption and human rights violations, as noted by the U.S. State Department and many others. We hope to see a reversal of that trend in the near future so Kyrgyzstan may become the stable democracy its people deserve."
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Sebum is the natural oil responsible for keeping your skin hydrated and supple. Everyone's body system is unique, and in some people, the sebaceous glands responsible for producing sebum simply do not make enough of the oil to counteract all of the drying elements present in the environment, such as cold, winter air. Without adequate hydration, your skin can become dry, resulting in redness, roughness and flaking. Dry skin is also more susceptible to sensitivity and more prone to show signs of premature aging. The Kerstin Florian Rehydrating collection was developed to address the unique needs of dry skin to help it look and feel its best.
The products in the Kerstin Florian Rehydrating range are formulated to provide your skin with the necessary moisture to eliminate flaking and irritation. All of the products in the Kerstin Florian Rehydrating lineup provide the maximum effectiveness without leaving your skin feeling greasy or looking shiny. With regular use, the Kerstin Florian Rehydrating collection eliminates the uncomfortable symptoms of skin dryness completely and prevents the tissue from becoming dehydrated again in the future.
Enhanced with vitamins, minerals and natural antioxidants, the products in the Kerstin Florian Rehydrating collection are the ultimate solution for those who suffer from dry, sensitive skin. The healing formulations found in the line immediately work to alleviate symptoms of dryness and then gradually condition and nourish parched tissue to keep it looking and feeling smooth, soft and supple for the long term. The complete lineup of products serves as your complete defensive system from the drying elements in the air for year-round beauty.
Kerstin Florian Rehydrating Liposome Night Creme features a revolutionary encapsulation delivery system to enable the healing nutrients in its formula to penetrate deeply into dry skin tissue. Lanolin, beeswax and other natural emollients make the cream the perfect bedtime treatment, allowing you to wake up to a suppler, healthier and more radiant complexion.
Kerstin Florian Rehydrating Neroli Water is a lightweight spray that offers an intensive moisture treatment with every spritz. Bitter orange blossom extract is the key component to the formula and is suited for application to both the face and body. Its pleasant fragrance is also reinvigorating and can help reduce stress and brighten your day.
Kerstin Florian Rehydrating Liposome Day Creme is the ultimate solution for skin with red discoloration due to fragile capillaries. The product contains a blend of horse chestnut and bitter orange blossom extracts to soothe sensitivity and to enhance your skin tone to prevent damage to the blood vessels. The formula is ideal for use every morning.

Cystic acne is the most serious of acne conditions as it can easily lead to scarring. Large, red, inflammed, and painful nodules form deep in the skin where the inflammatory response is so great that it breaks the wall of the pore and a membrane forms around it leading to a cyst.
Twice-daily cleansing with an oil-free cleanser helps to remove excess oil and bacteria. Helpful ingredients include salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics. In extreme cases physicians may prescribe an oral form of retinoid. Always check with your dermatologist.
Acne is a common skin problem and one that can be disfiguring. It's most common in adolescents and teens, but adults can get it too. In some cases, the bumps and papules that are so common with this skin problem become inflamed, leading to a diagnosis of cystic acne, the most serious form of the disease and the one that's most likely to lead to scarring.
As the name implies, people with cystic acne don't just have blackheads and red bumps. They also develop cysts that can become quite large and painful and be felt as tender, swollen nodules on the surface of the skin. Needless to say, these tender inflamed nodules that fill with puss are uncomfortable and embarrassing from a cosmetic standpoint.
Like non-cystic acne, acne with cysts begins within the hair follicle. Skin cells inside the follicle are constantly being shed. Alongside the hair follicle is a sebaceous gland that produces an oily substance called sebum. People with acne produce too much sticky sebum. This causes the skin cells being continuously shed to clump together and block the opening of the hair follicle called the pore. Bacteria feed on the sebum and dead skin cell. This leads to an inflammatory response as they body tries to destroy the bacteria. In people with cystic acne, the inflammatory response is so great that it breaks the wall of the pore and a membrane forms around it leading to a cyst. Multiple cysts can form, and cysts can fuse together to form larger cysts that are filled with pus and bacteria.
It's not clear why some people develop cystic acne, while others don't, but those who do are at greater risk for scarring since the cysts damage healthy skin tissue. Scarring is more likely to happen to people who pop the cysts or pick at them.
Never try to open up the cysts since this increases the risk of scarring. Twice-daily cleansing with an oil-free cleanser helps to remove excess oil and bacteria that clog pores and make the problem worse. Choose a product that is oil-free and contains salicylic acid, an ingredient that helps to slough off dead skin cells and clean up clogged pores. After cleansing, follow up by applying a treatment containing benzoyl peroxide. This is an ingredient proven to fight bacteria that contribute to cystic acne. Used daily, it helps to prevent new acne lesions and cysts from forming.
Dermatologists sometimes prescribe antibiotics for people with severe cases of cystic acne. Antibiotics are effective for killing bacteria and controlling inflammation, but they have side effects. In many cases, the symptoms can be controlled without using them. There's also the risk that the bacteria will become resistant to the antibiotic. Another medication that doctors sometimes prescribe for women with cystic forms of acne is an oral contraceptive. Sebum production is driven by hormones and regulating hormone levels with these pills helps to reduce acne outbreaks.
In many cases, dermatologists recommend retinoids found in products like Retin-A to treat cystic forms of acne. They work well, but the majority of people experience significant redness, flaking and skin irritation with these products. In the most severe cases, doctors prescribe an oral form of retinoid called Accutane. This treatment is effective but carries with it the risk of serious side effects including liver injury and an elevation in cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Women who take it must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control since Accutane causes birth defects. That's why it should be an option only when other treatments have failed. Fortunately, most people can treat acne without using this medication.
Cystic acne is one of the most disfiguring forms of acne and can lead to permanent scarring. That's why it's important to treat the problem as early as possible. Fortunately, there are treatments to help control the cysts and inflammation and prevent scarring.

A Q&A with the insiders behind your favorite brands.
Dr. Dennis Gross
President & Founder
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare (formerly MD Skincare by Dr. Dennis Gross) was established in 2002 as a line of multi-tasking products that help skin meet its most beautiful potential – providing dramatic results within days and a long-term transformation with continued use. Inspired by his loyal following, Dr. Gross formulates every product himself, combining a blend of the best natural antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals with the most scientifically advanced delivery systems.
I began as a dermatologist and formulating a line of skincare products came later. Naturally, I was fascinated with the ability to improve the overall health of skin, but the beauty aspect appealed to me as well. Helping people feel better about the way they look is very rewarding. So it's really the synergy between health and beauty.
The Alpha Beta Peel. During my years in private practice, I noticed that no matter what my patients tried and tested, they seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with their products and the lack of results. At the same time, the harsh glycolic peels of the 90's were becoming more and more popular. I was against the philosophy that these irritating peels were good for the skin. That motivated me to think outside of the box and develop the Alpha Beta Peel, formulated to yield immediate results yet also gentle enough for everyday use. Instead of using glycolic acid at a high concentration, I combined a proprietary blend of multiple acids at lower concentrations, which scored lowest on irritation tests and highest in results. In this case, thinking outside box proved to be right.
I recently saw a patient who came in for cosmetic procedures and I was able to detect melanoma on her, which saved her life. I knew she was a sun worshipper so we did a full body check, in which, we found something potentially life threatening. This is just an example of how gratifying it is to me to be able to practice both health and beauty procedures.
Honestly, I only use my own products. This is my regime.
In the morning I use the Botanical Cleasing Bar with Tea Tree Oil, then the Extra Strength Alpha Beta Peel followed by the Hydra Pure Oil Free Moisturizer.
At night I use the All in One Cleanser with Toner and the Hydra Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum & Antioxidant Serum. The Hydra Pure Smart Spray Mist is also great on the road including when I'm traveling on the weekend or if I'm in places where the water is hard.
I tend to focus more on proven results and efficacy rather than trends. I am excited about the results that can be obtained by combining multiple ingredients into one product- it is all about the right mixture. Ounce for ounce, Vitamin C is the most potent antioxidant in terms of collagen building for anti-aging purposes. The key with Vitamin C is to combine all 3 forms into one product. Additionally, Retinoids, derivatives of Vitamin A, are an important part of the anti-aging arsenal. Peptides and Coenzyme Q10 (aka Ubiquinone) are also effective ingredients to help ease lines and wrinkles.
Many people don't know that impurities and heavy metals found in tap water may cause irritation, breakouts and aging. Protect against them with our patented Chelating Complex only found in Hydra Pure products. This unique complex prevents the absorption of these irritants into the skin.
@dgskincare It's never too late to get started too on preventing and slowing down the aging process, although you should begin sooner rather than later. Do not give up hope if you did not take care of your skin when you were younger. There are ingredients and products that can literally help reverse the aging process. Like taking care of a new car, regular maintenance is the key to keep it in good condition.

R.J. Graziano debuted his fashion jewelry line in 1975 at no less a venue than the storefront windows of Bloomingdale's in NYC. Renowned for his commitment to quality and attention to fine detail, Graziano graces his designs with Austrian crystal and glass pearls to give them an iridescent pop. Textured strands of smoky pastel beads, gold-plated collar necklaces, pearl-studded bib necklaces, and other pieces wouldn't seem out of place in the Art Deco 1920s, which gives them a classic and timeless appeal. Graziano's chandelier and polished hoop earrings, stretch and single-wrap bracelets, golden chain-link boyfriend watches, and other sparkly accessories are favorites among the likes of Julia Roberts and Rihanna.

Maria Audelia
María wishes to improve her incomes, and for that she is requesting a loan to FUSAI. She will use it to buy more fruits. This will help her to fulfill market demands, improve her sales and incomes, and have more stable finances. With this she hopes to improve her family's quality of life.
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan will be administered by FUSAI (Salvadoran Foundation for Comprehensive Development), a Salvadoran NGO that owns Kiva partner Apoyo Integral. FUSAI will disburse this loan in order to reach a population that doesn't currently work with Apoyo Integral. This type of loan covers basic services (like housing and water), and supports small business and agricultural activities. Borrowers come from low-income families in rural and peri-urban communities, and are considered to be too poor or lack the proper guarantees to get credit through traditional banks or microfinance institutions. Before receiving their loans, they are vetted by local community organizations and enrolled in classes in financial literacy, and the importance of sanitation, potable water and clean energy. Additionally, FUSAI enables borrowers to guarantee one another and take out loans smaller than El Salvador's average. Important to note is El Salvador is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world, holding the 2nd place in the ranking of murders per capita.

What is the Summer Food Service Program?
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) is a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) program that helps children receive the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow throughout the summer months.
The SFSP provides reimbursement to agencies for meals and snacks served to children in areas where at least 50 percent of the children qualify for free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program, or when 50 percent of children enrolled in a program qualify. Most agencies may be reimbursed for up to two meals or snacks a day per child. Some, including migrant programs and camps, may be reimbursed for up to three meals daily per child. SFSP agencies include private nonprofit organizations, government agencies, public or nonprofit school systems, and summer camps.
The SFSP is open to children age 18 and under and individuals 19 years and over who have mental or physical disabilities. It is an equal opportunity program. Discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability is prohibited.

Public Administration
It is naturally not only solution innovations that provide orientation for the future, new ways of deploying existing solutions can also generate substantial added value.
In the public sector, which largely involves personal advice being given by qualified staff, automation can be used to simplify the processes already in place. Here again, citizens use self-service systems because of their user-friendliness, their availability and because they permit them to assume responsibility and control the processes on the system themselves. Acceptance and usage rates are continually increasing in the public sector. However, the advantages of the solution are not just on the user side. Process improvements also enable companies to reduce their costs and raise productivity among their staff.

The London 2012 Games were centred around the Olympic Park in east London, which is the site of a number of new sports venues. Up to 180,000 spectators a day entered the Park to enjoy the Games, making it the principal focus of Olympic activity.The main venues – the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre, Velodrome and BMX Circuit, as well as the hockey, handball and basketball arenas – were easily accessible through a network of footbridges and walkways within the Park.The Olympic Village was within walking distance of all the venues in the Park, enhancing the experience for athletes and officials. The use of other prestigious venues – such as Wembley Stadium for football, the All-England Club in Wimbledon for tennis, Lord's Cricket Ground for archery and Horse Guards Parade for beach volleyball – was also a feature of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The London 2012 Games included a four-year Cultural Olympiad. It reached a climax with the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony on 27 July 2012, starting a 60-day festival of sport and culture across the UK, as the Olympic and Paralympic spirit crosses the world once again.

WASHINGTON–Responding to the selective prosecution of opposition political leaders, including former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, by the Ukrainian government, Rep. Chris Smith (NJ-04) introduced a resolution promoting human rights and democracy in that country. The resolution demands that the Ukrainian government cease selective prosecutions, free Ms. Tymoshenko and other officials of the former government currently in prison, and act to ensure a democratic, fair and transparent election process in the run-up to the October 28, 2012, parliamentary elections. (To read the resolution, H.Res. 730, please click here.)
"Under President Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine has seen an alarming decline in its democratic development," said Rep. Smith, Chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission. "This resolution outlines measures the Ukrainian government must take, consistent with its OSCE obligations, to reverse the backsliding. Congress has a longstanding record of supporting the Ukrainian people in building an independent, democratic Ukraine based on the rule of law and respect for human rights. Americans are profoundly interested in Ukraine's independence and future democratic evolution."
With Ukraine's impending leadership of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe – the country will be Chair-in-Office for 2013 – the resolution urges the Ukrainian government to take immediate measures to reverse the current anti-democratic course and display exemplary conduct, especially in human rights and fundamental freedoms, democracy and the rule of law. To underscore the seriousness of concerns about Ukraine's democratic regression, the resolution calls for denying U.S. visas to Ukrainian officials involved in serious human rights abuses, anti-democratic actions, such as electoral fraud, or corruption, including officials involved in the selective prosecution and persecution of political opponents.
On May 17, Chairman Smith chaired a Helsinki Commission hearing addressing the upcoming elections and imprisonment of opposition leaders. (To view Chairman Smith's remarks and witness testimony, please click here.)
The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, also known as the U.S. Helsinki Commission, is an independent agency of the Federal Government charged with monitoring compliance with the Helsinki Accords and advancing comprehensive security through promotion of human rights, democracy, and economic, environmental and military cooperation in 56 countries. The Commission consists of nine members from the U.S. Senate, nine from the House of Representatives, and one member each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.

Centella asiatica, alternatively known as gotu kola or Indian pennywort, is a creeping herbaceous annual plant with thin stems and flat, crescent-shaped green leaves. It has tiny, reddish-pink flowers that grow in small, spherical bunches close to the soil. Centella asiatica grows wild in ditches and marshy areas of Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, northern Australia, Iran, and Papua New Guinea. Centella asiatica contains vitamins A, B, C, and D, together with a range of minerals, including zinc, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, sodium, silica, and selenium. It also contains chemicals known as triterpenoids that stimulate the production of collagen in the body. Flavinoids and amino acids are also found in centella asiatica.
The healing properties of centella asiatica have been known for centuries. Its leaves and stems are used in traditional Chinese, African, and Ayurvedic medicine. In Chinese medicine, centella asiatica is sometimes referred to as the "fountain of youth" due to its healing properties and positive effects on wellbeing.
Centella asiatica has antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It has traditionally been used as a treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and minor burns. Centella asiatica is able to heal wounds and burns because of its ability to increase the blood supply to the affected area, elevate the level of antioxidants in the wound, and encourage the production of fibroblasts, the cells that synthesize collagen. Its collagen-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties mean that centella asiatica can diminish the appearance of stretch marks and keloid scars.
Centella asiatica has a toning and tightening effect on the skin when applied topically. As a result, it is often found as an ingredient in skin firming creams and lotions. Due to its ability to stimulate collagen production, centella asiatica can improve the appearance of aging skin affected by fine lines and wrinkles. The reduction of collagen in the skin's supporting matrix is a key reason for the formation of fine lines and wrinkles as skin matures. Its ability to replenish collagen supplies makes centella asiatica a useful anti-aging ingredient.
Centella asiatica has a positive effect on skin affected by cellulite, which causes a dimpled, lumpy appearance similar to orange peel. Cellulite typically appears on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. By increasing blood flow, delivering potent antioxidants, reducing inflammation, and acting as a diuretic, centella asiatica smoothes and detoxifies areas affected by cellulite.
Centella asiatica supplements or tea infusions can be taken orally to relieve symptoms of stress, anxiety, and hypertension. Centella asiatica contains a triterpenoid called asiaticoside, which has mild sedative and anti-anxiety properties. When taken orally, centella asiatica is also known to stimulate the circulation and strengthen the walls of veins and capillaries, making it a useful treatment for varicose veins and venous insufficiency. By increasing the supply of blood to the capillaries under the skin, centella asiatica can improve the health and condition of skin's surface layers. It can also stimulate hair and nail growth by delivering an increased flow of oxygenated blood to the hair follicles and nail beds.
Oral supplements of centella asiatica can improve memory function by increasing the flow of blood to the brain. This can boost the levels of oxygen in the brain, improving concentration and mental acuity. In the Far East, centella asiatica is often drunk in the afternoons as a pick-me-up or tonic that boosts mental ability and clarity of thought.
In Ayurveda, centella asiatica is used to treat diabetes, leprosy, cataracts, and coughs. Studies indicate that centella asiatica may have a positive effect on the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease. However, it should be noted that centella asiatica is not recognized as a medicine by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Centella asiatica is used as an ingredient in Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai, and Sri Lankan cuisine. It can be eaten raw as part of a green salad. In Sri Lanka, centella asiatica is sometimes incorporated in to a form of porridge known as kola kenda, which is cooked with boiled red rice and coconut milk. Sweet drinks can be made from the leaves of centella asiatica.
Consumption of centella asiatica can affect liver function. Therefore, it should not be taken orally by individuals with liver disease or those taking medication that affects the liver, such as statin drugs.

Testimony :: Ann Patterson
Daughter - Walter Patterson
U.S. Helsinki Commission
Testimony of Ann Patterson of Wall Township, NJ
July 11, 2012
My name is Ann Patterson and I am the daughter of Walter Patterson. My father was robbed, brutally beaten, and shot in his gas station in Wall Township, New Jersey on November 23, 1962. He died of his injuries on November 25, 1962. I was 14 years old and my sister, Kaye, was 13.
My father was a quiet, sensitive person. The gas station was his "American Dream" and he was so happy to be able to have his own business. He worked sixteen to eighteen hour days to support our family.
Daddy's name is also on the Patterson "Honor Roll" of soldiers- part of a family that has fought in all of our country's wars. At age 21, he went to Europe and served our country for four years during World War II. He was a TEC 5 and a truck driver/mechanic and was awarded the Bronze Star for meritorious service.
It was the day after Thanksgiving and Daddy had come home for supper. It was about 4:30 when he got into his truck to go back to work. I stood at the kitchen window waving good-bye and that was the last time I saw him alive.
About five hours later, the phone rang and I answered it. Aunt Jennie said "Walt's been shot" and I screamed "No, no, no" and called my mother to the phone. I was crying, told my sister, and she started crying.
My mother was not well. She called Uncle Charles to take her to the hospital. When she got there, she couldn't recognize my father. She later told us they had "beaten him to a pulp." The doctor operated from about 10:30 P.M. to 6:30 A.M. and told my mother he thought he had "gotten all the bone fragments." When I asked her what Daddy had to say, she told me that he couldn't talk because his jaw was wired shut. He was wild with pain and could not be given anything for it because he had head injuries. He had to be restrained in the bed. The doctor told my mother that seizures were to be expected with this type of injury and Daddy had a seizure Saturday night.
Kaye and I had been scared to death to stay home alone on Friday night, so we rode to the hospital with Uncle Dick and Aunt Ginny as they took my mother to see Daddy on Saturday night. Aunt Ginny asked my mother if she had told us what we were going to see. But my mother did not allow us to see Daddy and we waited in the car. Daddy was in critical condition and no one except immediate family was allowed in. The doctor told my mother that if Daddy came through this, he would be a vegetable and need a lot of care.
On Sunday evening, the doctor was talking to my mother in the hallway about my father's condition when the nurse came to them and told them he had passed away. They allowed my mother to spend some time alone with him. When she came home, Uncle Dick and Aunt Ginny were each holding her arms and helping her to the house. I looked at Kay and said "Daddy died."
The viewing was Tuesday and the funeral home asked for a photo of Daddy so they could make him look like the picture. Does that sound odd to you? My father was unrecognizable in the casket. His wavy black hair with a touch of gray was replaced with straight black hair combed back. His face was all uneven and caked with make-up. I knew he was my Daddy by looking at his hands.
The $70 that George Wright and Walter McGhee stole wasn't enough. They had to beat my father beyond recognition. George Wright was identified by the imprints of the stock of his gun on my father's skin. If there had not been such a beating, the doctors could have operated on the bullet wound to the abdomen and it is quite possible that Daddy would still be with us today.
For Kay and me, the nightmare was just beginning. Since our mother was not well, she could not take care of us. We were told that we would be sent to "Clinton, a home for wayward girls." Later, I found out that Clinton was, in fact, a prison for girls. There is something wrong with sending the victims to prison while the criminals do not have to be incarcerated for their actions. I thank God that Uncle Dick stepped in to take care of us.
Our mother was very ill with a heart condition and her death was hastened by losing Daddy. She passed away fifteen months later on February 26, 1964 leaving Kaye and me orphaned. In our house lived my mother's aunt and uncle, both of whom passed away during that fifteen month period. In just over a year, we experienced the deaths of all four people we lived with and lost our home. We were robbed of normal teenage years.
There was no counseling available in 1962. We were left to deal with all this sorrow on our own. We tried to be strong for our mother while she was still alive.
It has not been easy to relive all these events during the past ten months. The FBI Victims Specialist suggested I see a counselor which was beneficial to me. One of the problems that came out was the nightmares that I suffered from for years after my father's death. The counselor said that I had had post traumatic stress after I described the nightmares to her. I also developed asthma and colitis within a few weeks of Daddy's death.
The premeditated actions of the four individuals involved in my father's murder have negatively impacted five generations of the Patterson family. I have already spoken about my parents and my sister and me. My mother's uncle who lived with us refused food when he learned of this tragedy. He said "I don't want to stay in a world where this is allowed to happen" and he died four months later. My grandfather never spoke my father's name without crying and told me "they didn't have to beat him up so bad."
My father's seven grandchildren were deprived of a loving grandfather and they are angry at the injustice exhibited in the past ten months.
But the saddest to me are the hurt reactions of some of my father's fourteen great-grandchildren. One of them saw the clip on TV of the capture and asked "What is wrong with people?" not knowing it was about her great-grandfather. Another one curled up in a corner of the couch and, crying, asked if he could escape again. Five generations of fear and hurt are five too many.
George Wright cannot erase his life of crime. He is fraudulently a Portuguese citizen. Four aliases do not change the fact that he was born George Edward Wright in the United States of America and committed crimes during his years here. When he chose the crime, he also chose the punishment as they go hand in hand.
George Wright did not give my father a choice on November 23, 1962 and so he should not have a choice about not serving his sentence. He does not owe Portugal time; he owes the United States.
George Wright is not sorry for what he did. There has been no apology to the Patterson Family. On the contrary, he has made this all about himself and basked in the limelight. To want to profit from a book and movie highlighting his heinous acts against the Patterson family is a slap in the face. He is not the victim here- we are.
George Wright is a convicted murderer who lived a life of violence, then fled and lived a life of lies. Now his past has caught up with him and he needs to come back here and serve his sentence.
In light of all the recent media coverage, I have been approached by many people who have expressed their disgust toward this man and this situation. I feel it is a disgrace that our justice system has failed in assuring a proper punishment for this crime. This whole case sets a terrible precedent for this country both here and worldwide. It is a negative toward decent citizens and a positive for criminals.
The failure of extradition has affected us in the following ways; 1) fear of a known criminal on the loose, 2) fear of reprisal from criminal. Both of these fears are now 50 years long. 3) makes a mockery of the crime against my father. Did his life matter? 4) has perpetuated our pain and loss, 5) loss of any kind of confidence in the criminal justice system from the local branch which gave too lenient a sentence to the state branch that put a convicted murderer on a minimum security work farm to the federal branch who have backed down to Portugal in the matter of extradition. The case was dropped before the final appeal was filed. It is one thing to do all you can, another to give up before you exhaust all avenues.
I have asked if there are any other avenues of justice such as withholding aid and have not been given any answer. Don't we have a right to seek justice for our father?
Our family has been emotionally affected by injustice in the following ways: 1) no closure, this is still an emotionally draining, open wound, 2) we have family members and friends across this entire nation who are appalled at the injustice of trying to obtain justice, 3) we are not happy that George Wright wants to do a book and a movie and capitalize on his inhumane treatment of our father, 4) we were extremely upset when we read in the newspaper that the final appeal had been dropped. I was told that I would be notified of any decision so that I wouldn't be blindsided up learning something from the media, 5) on a personal level, this has split my family in two. Some members support efforts to obtain justice and some cannot emotionally face the details of this crime to even talk about it.
What can be done?
Here are my suggestions: 1) reinstate the death penalty for criminals convicted of heinous crimes. Such a strong penalty may act as a deterrent, 2) put pressure on Portugal. I understand there is a treaty from 1907 to this effect, 3) do not send any financial aid to Portugal, 4) form a committee at the state level to double check paper work so that errors like this can't happen, 5) support and pass Illinois Senator Richard Durbin's Bringing Fugitives to Justice Act, and 6) nothing that any of us say or do will bring my father back but if we can look ahead and help the countless number of children who are similarly affected or will be affected by senseless crimes, then all of our efforts will not have been done in vain.
There is no conclusion to my story. It has not occurred yet for the Conclusion now rests in the hands of the politicians. The FBI and the U.S. Marshals have done their job in locating this fugitive and we thank them. I have done all I can by telling about our family events from November 23 to November 25, 1962 and the impact of this despicable crime. On behalf of the Patterson family, I ask you to please bring justice for the untimely death of my father, Walter Patterson.
Thank you.

Everyone loves the look of sun-drenched, golden skin, but the effects that sun exposure and tanning beds can have on your skin are anything but lovely. Tanning poses a risk for excessive exposure that can cause painful sunburns that ache, blister and peel. In addition, the ultraviolet rays found in sunlight and tanning beds destroy vital proteins in your skin and cause cellular changes that lead to the development of skin cancer. In fact, 90 percent of cancerous melanomas are caused by ultraviolet light. Sunless tanning is an appealing option due to its safety, but many people shy away from self-tanners because they worry about unnatural results. The NUXE Prodigieux collection offers the finest sun-free tan available on the market today.
Formulated with natural ingredients, the products in the NUXE Prodigieux line give you a natural, golden tan all over your face and body. Easy to apply, the items in the NUXE Prodigieux do not cause streaking or result in a brassy, orange color. Protect your skin from ultraviolet damage by reaching for the items in the NUXE Prodigieux collection.
NUXE Prodigieux products are Paraben-Free.
Although most people realize that sunless tanning products are far better for the skin that basking in the sun or lying in a tanning bed, many are afraid to try them due to their reputation for streaky, orange results. The NUXE Prodigieux collection was designed to give your skin, the safest, evenest and most natural tan possible without exposing your skin to dangerous ultraviolet light. The incredible results available from the Prodigieux range will change the way you think of sunless tanners forever.
NUXE Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Usage Dry Oil - Shimmer is a unique, lightweight bronzer that gives you a golden glow all over. You can even add the product to your hair to bring out a golden color without adding any greasy formulas to your scalp that can weight down the strands. Preservative free, the oil contains a blend of plant oils, vitamin E and minerals like mica. The dry oil is available in two sizes: the standard 1.6-ounce and the economy 3.3-ounce.
NUXE Baume Prodigieux Nutri-Protecting Lip Gloss - Legendaire Rose gives your lips a gorgeous, rosy glow with natural ingredients that protect and nourish the delicate lip tissue. Mango and shea butter in the formula penetrate deeply into the lips to replenish lost moisture to treat chapping and cracking. Tiny spheres filled with botanical extracts contained in the gloss plump your lip tissue to enhance your pucker, while a mild sunscreen protects it from harmful ultraviolet light. The gloss can also be paired with lipstick.
