Last summer a Tarrant County jury reversed the orders of a judge and returned Jim Loose's daughter to him, after she spent almost three years with her grandparents under "temporary" orders. Since last fall Jim's attorneys have attempted to get a two-hour hearing with Judge Randy Catterton, to ask him to require the grandparents to pay Jim's legal fees as allowed under state law. On several occasions a hearing was set, and each time Judge Catterton did not allow the hearings to go forward whenever attorneys for the grandparents said they had other issues to present or needed two days to lay out their remaining issues in the case.
Last month Judge Catterton, without consultation with Jim or his attorneys, told the attorney that he would write a letter to the presiding judge of the trial for which he himself was already scheduled and explain that he was required to be in court in Fort Worth. Finally, Judge Catterton allowed the hearing to be moved two weeks; it is currently scheduled for June 25 and 26.
Legal counsel for the grandparents has notified the court and Jim's attorneys that they intend to address issues that were already settled by the jury trial last August. They appear to be prepared to ask Judge Catterton to reverse the ruling of the jury. It's almost as if they are saying, "We don't care what the jury said, we want the child!" Judge Catterton has been willing to violate a parent's rights for grandparents before.
Please pray for Jim, and if you live in the Fort Worth area, plan to be in attendance at this hearing, which is scheduled for June 25 and 26 at 8 a.m. in the 231st District Court in Fort Worth.

- The petition received by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on April 9,
according to which:
ARISTIDES LOPEZ HUERTA, 25 years of age, married, a farmer and resident of the area of El Cedro, Department of Jinotega, was arrested at home on December 18, l983 and taken to El Bocay, in the same department. He was taken away on board an IFA truck and there are two witnesses to his arrest. So far his whereabouts are unknown.
- The transmission of the pertinent parts of this petition to the Government of Nicaragua
the note of June 18, l984, requesting it to provide such information as it deemed pertinent, as well
any information that would make it possible to ascertain whether, in the case that is the subject
of this request, the remedies of domestic law had been exhausted.
- The communication of January 30, l985 which repeated the request for information of
l8, l984.
- The repetition of the request for information made in the note of February 27, l986, which informed the Government of Nicaragua that, should such information not be provided within a period of thirty days pursuant to Article 42 of the Regulations, the facts reported would be considered to be true.
- That so far the Government of Nicaragua has not replied to the request for information
by the Commission concerning this case and that, in addition, the requirements of domestic law
been exhausted.
- That, by reason of their nature, the facts that are the subject matter of the petition, do
permit the application in this case of the friendly settlement procedure.
- That Article 42 of the Regulations of the Commission stipulates the following:
The facts reported in the petition whose pertinent parts have been transmitted to the Government of the State in reference shall be presumed to be true if, during the maximum period set by the Commission under the provisions of Article 34, paragraph 5, the Government has not provided the pertinent information, as long as other evidence does not lead to a different conclusion.
- That, in addition to not replying to the repeated requests for information, the
of Nicaragua has so far not allowed a member of the Commission and an official of the Secretariat
go to that country to clarify certain aspects relating to this case, pursuant to the provisions of
48.1 d of the American Convention on Human Rights to which Nicaragua is a State
- That in its observations to Resolution 17/86, the Nicaraguan Government stated that
Aristides Lopez Huerta has not been detained and no restrictions have been placed on his freedom
movement in the country adding that:
The information supplied by the claimants does not appear to correspond with reality. It is relevant to point out to this Honorable Commission that the places where this person was allegedly detained are zones in which counterrevolutionary bands enter and leave and in which a climate of danger and movement typical of war zones exists. In such zones, in which the backwardness is not notorious, there is not even a population census. The above circumstances impede the rapid gathering of information.
- The observations of the Government are a general response and do not address the
of the facts presented by the claimant, for which reason the Commission finds that these
do not cast doubt upon the conclusions to which it arrived in Resolution 17/86.
- That the General Assembly of the Organization of American States declared in Resolution 666 (XIII-0/83) that "the practice of the forced disappearance of persons in the Americas is an affront to the conscience of the hemisphere and constitutes a crime against humanity."
In view whereof:
- To consider to be true the facts reported in the communication of April 9, l984
the arrest and subsequent disappearance of Mr. Arístides López Huerta.
- To declare that the Government of Nicaragua has violated the right to personal liberty
(Article 7) and the right to life (Article 4) set forth in the American Convention on Human Rights
which Nicaragua is a State Party.
- To recommend to the Government of Nicaragua that it order a thorough investigation
of the
facts reported in order to identify the persons responsible, and prosecute and punish them in
with the law and that it adopt the necessary measures to prevent a repetition of such serious
- To confirm Resolution 17/86, to include it in its Annual Report to the General Assembly of the Organization of American States, in accordance with Article 63, g of the Regulations of the Commission, and communicate it to the claimant.

By Gary Graves, USA TODAY
Tomas Scheckter has no secret or explanation for his success at Texas Motor Speedway other than just rolling with it on each visit to Fort Worth.
Scheckter has been the most prolific IRL IndyCar Series driver there in recent years. In six starts on the fast 1.5-mile oval, he has led 371 laps and won three poles, the most recent ending with his victory last June in the Bombardier Learjet 500K. That win came under the banner of his old team, Panther Racing, but Scheckter figures to retain some of that karma Saturday night for Vision Racing, his new team.
"I've just gotten there and went quick," Scheckter said at Tuesday's teleconference. "The car has just seemed to work with me and I'm not sure if the stars are aligned when we get there, but people have problems at the track and I sort of have a clear run every time I get there. Hopefully, it'll stay the same this year as well."
Last year Scheckter led 119 of 200 laps and held off three-time winner Sam Hornish Jr. by 0.0534 seconds, the 10th-closest IRL finish. He returns with some momentum after a 10th-place finish in Sunday's Watkins Glen Indy Grand Prix, during which he led 11 laps early.
More notable might be Scheckter's ability to raise the visibility of second-year Vision Racing, which is owned by IRL founder Tony George. Though the two-car team lacks full-time sponsorship, Scheckter and teammate Ed Carpenter (George's stepson) have had encouraging moments such as last month's 11-12 start at the Indianapolis 500 and Carpenter's 12th-place finish.
If nothing else, Scheckter saw more stability in jumping to Vision than staying a third year with Panther, which lacks a primary sponsor for current driver Vitor Meira. Having no illusions about Vision's prospects has allowed Scheckter to enjoy each bit of progress.
"I didn't come in and say, 'I want to win a race by then,' " said Scheckter, who's 15th in points, three ahead of Carpenter. "Hopefully, the engineering side would be at a certain level by halfway in the season or these people would be working with these people by the halfway point, and, when you get those things aligned, the results would start happening. It's about where I thought it would be ..."
Cheever responds: Veteran Eddie Cheever on Tuesday disputed claims by Danica Patrick and rookie Marco Andretti that he intentionally caused them to crash during Sunday's IRL race at Watkins Glen, N.Y., calling the accusations "ludicrous."
"It's beyond words," the 1998 Indianapolis 500 winner said in a statement posted on the IndyCar website. "It was a racing accident, pure and simple. There certainly wasn't any intent, so I find the accusations incomprehensible."
After Cheever and Andretti collided on lap 38 of 60, Andretti's father and team owner, Michael Andretti, called Cheever "a complete idiot" on live TV and accused him of intentionally causing his son to crash. Patrick used the same description after spinning out in front Cheever on a restart.
"She did that all by herself," said Cheever, who finished 17th.
Cheever has clashed with the Andrettis before, as far back as 1992 — at Long Beach with Michael — and this April — at St. Petersburg with Marco during practice. But in his statement he denied carrying any hard feelings to the track and pointed to his Indy victory as the difference between himself and his accusers.
"The last I looked, I earned the label of Indy 500 champion," Cheever's statement said. "Those lobbing unfounded accusations at me have not. ..."

Zimbabwe bans South African labour leaders' visit
Page Tools
Zimbabwe authorities yesterday ordered a delegation from South Africa's main labour organisation to leave the country on the first day of a scheduled four-day visit, labour officials said.
Police and immigration officers banned the visit after the 13-member delegation from the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU) met officials of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions at their downtown Harare offices.
The Zimbabwe Government said last week the South Africans were not welcome, declaring their mission politically motivated in support of civic and reform groups and the labour-backed opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
The South African labour leaders arrived in Harare late on Monday after vowing to defy a threatened ban.
Tabatha Khumalo, an official of Zimbabwe's main labour group, said immigration officers refused to extend 24-hour entry visas given to the delegates on their arrival at the main Harare airport.
The visitors were told to leave yesterday.
She said police staked out the Zimbabwe labour group's offices earlier yesterday.
No immediate comment was available from the delegates or Zimbabwe authorities guarding the doors at their hotel.
COSATU said on Monday it was challenging a letter from the Zimbabwe Labour Ministry saying the visit was not "acceptable" in Zimbabwe because it involved meetings with local organisations critical of the Government.
The letter said the Zimbabwe Government advised the South African labour leaders to avoid the "inconvenience" of flying to Harare because Zimbabwe had told the South African Labour Ministry the trip was being prohibited.
"COSATU did not need permission for a visit which aims to meet a broad range of organisations representing labour, civic society and government to get an accurate picture of the situation in the country," the South African organisation said.
COSATU is a traditional ally of South Africa's ruling African National Congress party. But its relations with President Thabo Mbeki's Government have become strained over its policy of "quiet diplomacy" toward Zimbabwe's authoritarian leader, President Robert Mugabe.
Zimbabwe is suffering its worst economic and political crisis since independence in 1980, with massive inflation and soaring unemployment.
The Government has cracked down on dissent using sweeping security and media laws.
Labour meetings, political gatherings and opposition rallies are repeatedly banned by police under security laws enforced since early in 2002.

In honor of the first Seder tonight, a re-link to a tough review by Leon Weiseltier of a new translation of the Passover Haggadah.
Better to revel in the simple smells of the Seder meal than all that subtle talk of liberation.
Instead, Mr. Obama himself led the Seder, posing for photographs at the head of the table, wearing a yarmulke.
This was the tenth time this Seder has been held, and the fifth at ADAMS.
Andrea (and her collaborators) designed the Seder to maximize discussion of what unites us—and what divides us.
And when the evening table was laid for the Seder service, looking oh!
But she makes us promise that we will not crack a single one before the "Seder."
That Seder with its family symposium has been the glory of Israel throughout the ages.
In Seder Olam they are called "prophets who prophesied in Egypt."
In the dining-room of Hirsch Bensef sat a goodly circle of friends at the Seder (services conducted on the eve of Passover).
home service on the first nights of Passover, 1865, from Hebrew sedher "order, procedure," related to sedherah "row, rank."

USC safety T.J. McDonald intercepted two passes during Thursday's practice, then walked over to Dedeaux Field and hit a baseball over the fence during a spur-of-the-moment batting practice.
There is not much McDonald cannot do these days, including playing without a back tooth he lost during last weekend's scrimmage.
"I got hit from behind and my teeth grinded," McDonald said. "Half of it got knocked out. They had to take the other half out."
McDonald said he wasn't sure if he would replace the tooth because of the cost. But a USC spokesperson said the school's health insurance would cover the expense because the injury was athletic-related.
"My mom wasn't too happy about (losing the tooth)," McDonald said.
McDonald led USC in tackles last season with 89 even though he missed the UCLA game with a shoulder injury. He vowed to stay healthy next season.
"That just ate me up not playing in that game," McDonald said. "I don't want to miss any games."
He considered playing baseball when he arrived at USC, but he said he will play only football.
"It just wasn't a good idea for me," he said. "Football is where my heart is."
As one of the defensive leaders, McDonald said defensive tackle Christian Tupou will be equally important next season.
"He's a silent leader," McDonald said. "If you could see the things he does. Everyone has respect for him. He's got my back."Scroggins improves
Quarterback Jesse Scroggins looks close to establishing himself as Matt Barkley's backup as long as he becomes more relaxed in the huddle.
"I was fumbling words (last year)," Scroggins said. "I'm still fumbling words on longer plays but I know what I'm doing."
Scroggins said some USC plays are 8 to 10 words long. He was pleased to hear USC coach Lane Kiffin said he was ahead of freshman Cody Kessler and Max Wittek.
"I'm happy he publicly said it for my family," he said. "I felt like I've been strong and quick in my decisions."
Scroggins admitted the role of a USC quarterback requires more leadership than he expected when he enrolled a year ago.
"Being a USC quarterback is different than at any other school," he said. "Quarterbacks have to set themselves different. You have to be the leader you have to say hi to everybody. I'm a shy guy but I'm getting comfortable."Line woes continue
Kiffin reiterated the offensive line remains a project at best with only one starter (left tackle Matt Kalil) practicing and no guarantee some of the injured players will perform at a high level when they return.
He said none of the current linemen practicing showed signs of becoming starters.
"No, unfortunately not," Kiffin said. "None of those guys have performed as starters.
"They're just a long ways away from the whole package. Some guys are not developed enough. Some guys are not playing fast enough because they are new to it. They haven't caught on to the system. It will be the No. 1 question by far going into the season."Ambles near shambles
Wide receiver Markeith Ambles returned to practice after missing two practices for disciplinary reasons and one for being absent without permission. Kiffin estimated Ambles dropped 75 percent of his passes Thursday.Additional position
Tight end Rhett Ellison worked at fullback during practice because the Trojans are shorthanded with one scholarship fullback.
"It's something we'll probably do a lot in the fall," Kiffin said.Injury update
Tight end Christian Thomas of Palmdale underwent X-rays on his foot, which were negative. He didn't practice Thursday.

DENVER (AP) The San Diego Padres lost All-Star starter Chris Young early and blew another late lead.
They were still able to snap their four-game losing streak, thanks to a heads-up play by second baseman Geoff Blum, which sparked the Padres past the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Tuesday night.
In a case where Colorado leadoff man Willy Taveras' speed actually hurt the Rockies, Blum bobbled the transfer to his bare hand of the speedster's grounder in the seventh and threw to third base to nail Ryan Spilborghs, whose two-run double had tied it at 3.
"I didn't think I had enough time to get Willy," Blum said. "I had no shot, but I took a peek at third base and saw Spilborghs well off the bag. Kevin (Kouzmanoff) was waiting at the bag for the ball and I threw it there."
Spilborghs had no chance to get back and was tagged for the final out of the inning.
"In my mind, I thought I possibly have a chance (to score)," Spilborghs said. "My back's to the ball and I'm assuming he's going to first. I was being aggressive, maybe too aggressive. I didn't know he had bobbled the ball.
"If I score on that we're giving each other high-fives. I'd rather make aggressive mistakes than mistakes when I'm not thinking."
Adrian Gonzalez doubled home the go-ahead run in the eighth.
The win was tempered by the loss of Young, who retired all six batters he faced but strained an abdominal muscle on a pitch to Garrett Atkins in the second inning. He came out for the third inning and threw a few warmups before being pulled.
"I didn't throw many more pitches after I first felt it," said Young, who leads the majors with a 1.82 ERA. "I didn't feel it again until I went out to start the third. ... "I didn't know the sensation I was feeling, so I called out the trainer."
Padres manager Bud Black said Young might miss his next start Sunday.
He was replaced by left-hander Justin Hampson, who allowed two singles over 3 2-3 innings.
Heath Bell (4-2) pitched 1 1-3 innings for the win despite allowing hits to the first two batters he faced in the seventh, including a tying two-run double to Spilborghs.
Trevor Hoffman pitched a perfect ninth for his 28th save in 30 chances.
Ramon Ramirez (2-2) gave up a double to Michael Barrett and an infield single to Milton Bradley with one out in the eighth. Jeremy Affeldt allowed a run-scoring double to Gonzalez, and Khalil Greene added a sacrifice fly off Jorge Julio.
Rockies rookie right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez pitched seven strong innings, scattering four hits, striking out five and walking two. His one mistake was a pitch that Mike Cameron hit for a three-run homer, his 13th.
The Rockies tied it in the seventh on Yorvit Torrealba's RBI single off Doug Brocail and Spilborghs' two-run double off Bell.
Barrett was in the lineup after he appealed a one-game suspension and a $1,500 fine, two days after he was ejected from a game against Philadelphia. Barrett and Padres manager Bud Black were tossed in the fifth inning of San Diego's 9-0 loss after Barrett was called out on strikes by plate umpire Chris Guccione and then argued.
Barrett asked the players' union to appeal the penalty, meaning he can't be punished until after a hearing and a decision.
Notes: Two errors charged to Rockies 1B Todd Helton against Pittsburgh on July 16 were changed after a review by Major League Baseball. Reliever Taylor Buchholz was charged with one of the errors, and the other error was changed to a hit. ... Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki missed the game because he was sick.

Cinnamon Dough Ornaments
- Christmas tree decorations
- Holiday home decorations
- Christmas gift tags
- Drawer inserts
- Christmas activity for kids
- Inexpensive Christmas gifts
Shaping and decorating ornaments can be an annual Christmas tradition! Let the whole family get involved. Sure, your husband will make a Rambo gingerbread man ornament, complete with glittery blood and painted machine gun. And sure, your kids will probably make a big ol' mess along with their ornaments. But hey, it's cheap, it's creative, and it's a lot of fun. So get baking!
Cinnamon dough ornaments can be either
pretty & elegant or... not so elegant.
Looking for cookies you can eat? Try these!
Applesauce Dough Cinnamon Ornament Recipe
These ornaments smell so good that you'll want to eat them-- but resist. They don't taste very good, I can promise you that.(Yes, I tasted some
dough. And yes, it was gross.) This dough rolls out very easily, and the cinnamon dough ornaments will last for years. (I have some that are
almost 10 years old!)
1 C. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. ground cloves
3/4 C. unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp. essential oil (your choice)
2 tbsp. white craft glue cookie cutters or molds
decorating materials
Instructions: 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cinnamon and cloves. Add the applesauce, essential oil, and glue.
2. Knead in bowl for a few minutes, until you have a firm, pliable dough. Add more cinnamon if the dough is too wet, more applesauce if it's too dry.
3. Dust your work surface with cinnamon (just as you would with flour for regular cookies). Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, or press into a cookie mold (see photo). For molds, press dough into mold, smooth with rolling pin, remove, and cut away extra dough.
4. While still moist, cut a hole in the top of each ornament with the end of a straw for hanging. Place ornaments on paper towels and air dry for several days. Carefully flip them several times while drying so they won't bend or warp.
5. In a hurry? Instead of air drying, bake ornaments at 200 degrees F for about 3 hours, turning occasionally.
Tip: Use the essential oil of your choice. Try cinnamon to bring out the cinnamon scent, or apple to make apple-cinnamon scented cinnamon ornaments. Vanilla-cinnamon is nice, too!
Decorating tips: You can decorate these with all sorts of things! Use white school glue, and sprinkle on glitter. Glue on eyes or puff balls, or any decoration you want. Puffy fabric paints make great raised decorations, or use acrylic craft paint to paint designs, faces, names, etc. Let your imagination run wild!
Classic cookie mold.

Shopping > By Areas > Chinatown
Ann Siang Road
Ann Siang Road is a quaint little shopping area in Chinatown occupied by beautifully restored shophouses. Some of the buildings feature quirky interior design, while others have colourful murals hanging on the walls.
It has become a gathering place of sorts for arty Singaporeans, making it a great place to find random, quirky stuff to buy. At the Asylum, for example, you'd find products ranging from apparel to books and music CDs, set against an interior design dominated by a constantly changing wall mural.
If you're looking for high quality clothes, you can shop at the Fred Perry boutique or at Style: Nordic, which specialises in contemporary Scandinavian fashion.
Looking for fancy shoes, jeans and funky T-shirts? Then check out Smudge Store, which sells its own label, SMG. Besides streetwear, you'll also find collectibles such as toys and gadgets. For even more collectibles, head over to The Little Drom Store, which sells 'old-school' trinkets like hand-drawn postcards, table lamps and even vintage dresses.
And, finally, if you're looking for a quick bite, you can choose either the French cake shop The Patissier or Japanese cake shop K-Ki. For something a little bit more swanky, try out the new PS Cafe outlet, but be warned: It bars children on its premises.
How to get there
The nearest MRT stations are the ones at Tanjong Pagar and Chinatown. Ann Siang Road is less than 10 minutes from either station by foot.

Newt Gingrich Claims LGBT Rights Undermine Catholic Rights, Cites Heterosexual-Only Adoption Service
The Huffington Post | By Meredith Bennett-Smith Posted: 05/06/2013 2:45 pm EDT | Updated: 05/06/2013 2:47 pm EDT
It's not uncommon to hear members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) community argue that their rights -- for example their right to marry a member of the same sex -- are being undermined by conservatives. But in a trend that is becoming more and more common, Newt Gingrich used similar language Sunday to complain that the LGBT community is infringing on his rights as a Catholic.
Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and recent Republican presidential candidate, made the controversial comments during a panel discussion Sunday on NBCs "Meet the Press." Host David Gregory asked Gingrich if he thought a Republican nominee for president could support gay marriage. I doubt it, Gingrich replied, adding that society is changing, so the issue remains "up in the air."
But what Im struck with is the one-sidedness of the desire for rights, Gingrich said. There are no rights for Catholics to have adoption services in Massachusetts; theyre outlawed. There are no rights in D.C. for Catholics to have adoption services; theyre outlawed."
"Does [supporting LGBT rights] mean that you actually have to affirmatively eliminate any institution which does not automatically accept [homosexuality]?" Gingrich continued.

1. Funny - I don't feel like my rights are being undermined.
Nor do I feel like Newt Gingrich is an authoritative voice when it comes to the sanctity of marriage.

2. I agree that the thrice divorced Gingrich is scarcely a good spokesman for marriage
His playing of the victim card is also suspect.
I keep saying that for many conservatives, the statement "I support the right of the individual to do as he or she wants" should be read as "I support the right of the individual to do as he or she wants, as long as he or she is doing something I approve of". To put that more simply, it means "I do not support the right of the individual to do as he or she wants."

Common Misconceptions About Wetlands and Wetland Policy
Misconception: Individual land-owners are primarily to blame for the loss of wetlands. Reality: Government is the principal culprit when it comes to wetlands destruction. In 1780, before the Army Corps on Engineers launched a systematic campaign to eradicate wetlands, there were 221 million acres of wetlands in the lower 48 states. Today there are just 104 million acres.
Misconception: Sharp government restrictions on private property use are necessary because wetlands continue to be lost at an alarming rate. Reality: The "no net loss" of wetlands goal of federal policy has apparently already been achieved. In 1994, for example, 108,000 acres of wetlands were lost, but 167,000 acres were restored, for a net gain of 59,000 acres of wetlands.
Misconception: The Clean Water Act gives the federal government the right to limit land use for the purpose of protecting wetlands. Reality: Wetlands are not explicitly protected under the Clean Water Act, nor, for that matter, any other legislation. The word "wetland" is not mentioned in Clean Water Act.
Misconception: The federal government has the right to limit the use of private property to preserve wetlands without restriction. Reality: Under the power of "eminent domain," the federal government does have the authority to take land for the "public good," but not without just compensation. When excessive regulation significantly diminishes that property value, a de facto taking of property has occurred.
Misconception: All wetlands are worthy of preservation. Reality: The official definition of what constitutes a wetland has fluctuated frequently and is too broad. By some estimates, 40% of drought-stricken California (even before the rains of 1992-1993) would have qualified as wetlands under the government's 1989 definition.

Abrexin Review
What You Should Know
Abrexin is a night-time fat burner that claims to help the dieter burn fat in their sleep. There are plenty of these supplements on the market and none have clinical proof fat is actually burned during sleep. Typically, the companies will add laxatives and diuretics to the formula to cause increased bowel movements to create the idea of weight loss, but we did not find those ingredients in Abrexin. What we did find was a protein, black pepper and a "shield" that is unidentified.
List of Ingredients
- Lactoferrin
- Bioperine
- GP Shield
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Product Features
Lactoferrin, the first ingredient in the Abrexin formula, is a protein that has many functions in the body. It is used by the body to support immune functions. It also has antibacterial properties when excreted in colostrum, or first milk. There is no evidence that Lactoferrin will promote weight loss, fat loss of thermogenesis.
Bioperine is black pepper extract. This ingredient is typically included in supplements to aid the absorption of other ingredients. There is some clinical evidence that pepper extracts, including the extract of black pepper, may have some impact on body temperature, but the impact is not strong enough to promote significant weight loss.
GH Shield protects the Lactoferrin from stomach acids, according to the product description for Abrexin. We have no idea what makes up the shield because the company does not explain the ingredient. Dieters should never take a supplement with unknown ingredients.
- We found a complete ingredient list for Abrexin.
- Bioperine may have a minimal impact on body temperature.
- None of the ingredients are stimulants.
- Will not promote weight loss or thermogenesis.
- One of the ingredients is unknown and the company does not explain the details of the ingredient.
- There are no clinical references supporting thermogenesis claims.
- The official website does not include before and after photos.
- The contact phone number is out of Canada – may not be available for sale in the United States.
There is no supplement on the market that increases weight loss while the dieter sleeps. Sleep is the time when the body repairs after exercise, dieting and the stresses of the day. While the dieter can take natural supplements to promote better sleep, which could have a positive impact on metabolism and recovery, Abrexin is not going to magically make the weight slide off your body while you're dreaming of the treadmill.

Improving Emergency Preparedness & Response
CDC-Kenya strengthens public health capacity to rapidly identify and contain infectious disease threats as well as respond to natural and man-made disasters.
Emergency Preparedness and Response
Effective response to public health emergencies – such as outbreaks of emerging and novel diseases, natural and humanitarian disasters, or large-scale trauma – requires the development of established coordination and communication systems among multiple governmental and non-governmental organizations. CDC-Kenya is working with the Government of Kenya and its partners to improve emergency medical services, coordination of emergency medical response, and processes for improved risk communication to the public and the media.
In this increasingly globalized world, diseases can spread far and wide through international travel and trade. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the International Health Regulations that require countries to report diseases of international concern and outbreaks that may cross international borders. Revised in 2005, these global regulations are intended "to prevent, protect against, control and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease." CDC-Kenya, alongside WHO, supports the government in its capacity to respond to these requirements by working closely with them to provide technical guidance and support to mobilize resources. Timely and open reporting will help make the world more secure from disease threats.
Outbreak Investigations
CDC-Kenya's integrated approach to disease detection and response helps reduce the time it takes to identify and control public health risks, helping to stop dangerous outbreaks before they spread. CDC-Kenya works to help the Government of Kenya and other governments in the region detect and respond to serious public health threats, including in refugee camps where outbreaks frequently occur.
CDC-Kenya provides technical assistance to governments in the East Africa region to ensure rapid, coordinated detection and response and promote comprehensive outbreak surveillance. In the case of an outbreak, CDC deploys experts at a host country's request for technical assistance and diagnostic support. CDC-Kenya often assists with developing case definitions and outbreak control plans, receives specimens for diagnosis confirmation, and provides supplies for response efforts. CDC-Kenya and Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program residents will go into communities, hospitals, refugee camps, and border areas to assist in finding cases, documenting the outbreak, and implementing control strategies and risk communication. For instance, in June, 2011 CDC-Kenya was contacted by the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) requesting diagnostic support for numerous cases of an acute febrile illness (AFI) occurring among Ugandan and Burundian peacekeeping troops deployed to Mogadishu, Somalia. In September of that same year the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation (MOPHS) sent samples to Kenya Medical Research Institute/CDC laboratories to test for dengue. Confirmed cases were detected in several areas in Kenya and control measures swiftly implemented.
Ongoing analysis of outbreak responses often leads to the development of research and surveillance projects to predict future outbreaks, measure severe outcomes, and map areas of highest risk. For example, emerging zoonotic diseases (including anthrax, Rift Valley Fever, and brucellosis), which are naturally transmitted between animals and humans, are on the rise – accounting for over 65 percent of emerging infectious diseases. CDC-Kenya and other U.S. government partners have supported the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the MOPHS and Ministry of Livestock Development to create an integrated Zoonotic Disease (One Health) Unit. The One Health approach to managing epidemic threats of zoonotic diseases coordinates the work of human, livestock and wildlife, and environmental health experts to better prevent and control these diseases.

We created this website to allow you, the valued customer, to buy Chanca Piedra without being tricked like many other online companies do. Many websites trick you into "agreeing" to a monthly billing plan or giving you inferior products with less than promised ingredients.
We have searched the internet and found numerous "too good to be true" deals with rock bottom prices that are difficult to pass. The problem is when the customer finally gets the product they find out that each capsule contains very little of the product they purchased. Our capsules contain 500mg of Chance Piedra.
Our Promise
.. to sell you what you paid for. No gimmicks, no games. When you purchase a bottle of Chanca Piedra from us, you get exactly what you ordered and we guarantee that.
Your Privacy
We value your privacy and security, which is why we never see your credit card information. When you purchase online with us only the bank that process the payment see's your information.

I bought my Rainbow Block Mug in the P-Town HRC store this summer. Loved it as it kept my Tea warm. cleaned easily and looked FANTASTIC. Unfortunately it slipped out of my hand and broke on the floor. Now, I'm sad wishing for a new one with ORANGE inside. I'm of Dutch heritage so ORANGE is a special color for me. My wife has the GREEN one, she's IRISH! I don't see either of our colors available on this site, hopefully they can still be found somewhere.— Karen - Clifton, NJ more

Ready for kindergarten?
10 comments:
- nicoleandmaggie said...
I think you know our story, but we went private with our Christmas baby so he could start at 4. Then he did K and 1st together, so now he is skipped two grades. Public school won't talk until 2nd grade and won't accelerate as a standard policy until middle school.
Oh, we have this problem too. My 3.5 year old (who has been reading for a year and a half) was born the first week of September.
We live in a state that has explicit, specific requirements for early entrance, namely: send your kid to private school for pre-K and K, and if at the end the private school says they are ready for 1st, you can enroll them in 1st. (This is for kids with birthdays in September through December.)
It's relatively straightforward, which I appreciate. Unfortunately, for us it's complicated by the fact our public gifted program - which requires testing into - starts in Kindergarten for the majority of schools. We're not entirely sure what we're going to do.
- Unknown said...
Because we thought there was no way our son could grow in a public school kindergarten, we chose a private Montessori. Now, he's going into a public self contained 1st grade class next year after never been in public school. It's going to be quite a transition!
Similar to JLP (are we in the sane state?), if child is in a private prek and kindergarten, and is born before December 31, they can head straight into first grade. The public gifted programs have a strict start in kindergarten and absolutely no skipping of any grades. The "gifted program" curriculum is 1-2 years ahead, depending on school/program.
We are trying to decide what is the best course of option: the public gifted program, skipping kindergarten in our neighborhood school, or staying in our private school.
Surprisingly, the administration in our neighborhood public school has been the most receptive to our concerns and suggestions. We shall see...
I'm glad to see other parents sending their boys to kindergarten early! My son misses the Ohio cutoff by 2 days - he's born October 2nd. I'm in process of early entrance with the school district now. I've been surprised that despite testing gifted, they are still extremely hesitant to allow him through and are choosing to largely ignore the research on the topic. I've researched private school options, including the Montessori he is currently in for Pre-K, and I haven't found a school that will take him. They all strictly follow the School District decision. It is very frustrating that a school district has complete control to make such an important decision largely based on their subjective opinions on the topic (and not objective measures).
Ready for kindergarten?
Academically: about age 3.
Behaviorally: age 7 maybe.
What would be the point of sending our kids to B&M kindergarten to learn nothing and be labelled a problem?
We saw the writing on the wall, and chose homeschooling.
Our district has Early Access so Little One started 1st grade as a 5 year old. Thank goodness for that option. It was still not enough of a challenge though, and I think it caused some regression academically.*sigh*
Most of the private schools around here teach about 1 grade level higher, but beyond that are not flexible and have a smaller social circle. And the cost is out of our reach anyway.
Mostly what I've heard is to continually provide extracurricular enrichment. Public schools can't do much with kids who more than 1 grade advanced. The extremely broad range of readiness is beyond a teacher's ability to differentiate, especially with large class sizes, unless the teacher is just amazing.
- Kristi Lea said...
My daughter has an August birthday, but our state has a July 31st cutoff date. The state also has a cutoff date for 1st grade, so we knew from the start we were stuck with a private school for a minimum of 2 years. Our city has a lot of Catholic parish schools, but they follow the state guidelines. So we ended up with a much more expensive private school for several years.
The biggest frustration with her situation wasn't that she is spectactularly gifted--she may not be actually gifted at all, but was certainly above average and was definitely ready for Kindergarten the year she was 5. But most schools wouldn't even evaluate her.
Her younger brother is, I believe, definitely gifted. He has a March birthday (i.e. nowhere near July cut-off) and the same school that accepted his sister post-cutoff-date tried to suggest holding him back a year because of behavior (even though academically, he was excelling). That was unacceptable to us--especially since his acting out is worse when he's bored. His brain is always "on", and when his classmates are stuck learning something, he finds ways to entertain himself, much to the frustration of his teachers.
We're now at a different private (parish-run, so less expensive than true private, but still not public) school. We are still debating whether to have the public school evaluate the younger one for their gifted program. The older one is the youngest in her class (she transferred in 3rd grade, so the school didn't worry about her birthday), but is generally doing very well.
sarah -
We may well be in the same state, though if so, I hesitate to call it the sane state. =)
And yes, I forgot to mention: no skipping of grades! Ever! Under any circumstances! Because we have Gifted Programs which magically meet the needs of any child. Not sure if that's a state policy or just citywide, but the rigidity (on that, and the cut-off date, and all other issues) is crazy-making.
The good news is, I have heard from parents that kids in both neighborhood and gifted schools sometimes "walk" to math, so even if there isn't grade skipping per se, there is definitely some subject acceleration for some kids - until you max out of the school you're in, of course.
Our older (who is very similar to his brother) will be starting K in the fall, so we'll see how it goes. I am, sadly, not optimistic, but hoping to be proven wrong.
No early enrollment allowed! My son turned 6, 3 weeks after starting Kindergarten because refused to let him start previous year. Then public school was terrible with police being called due to violence (they re-districted our school and my child got sent to a different school then his older brother had gone too; the original school was not closed just moved zones of who went where). Anyway, pulled him out for a constructivist private school that started up and he was in a classroom with several 4 year olds! Out of 12 kids in the class 6 kids didn't turn 5 until after December. Not sure would qualify these children, the 4 year olds, as gifted and my son had huge mismatch in social skills. They moved my son to 3rd grade but school just was not a fit and now he is in a charter school.

NEW YORK (Oct. 30)
Campaign pledges of $11,787,250 for 1981 were received from participants on the Oct. 5-10 United Jewish Appeal President's Mission to Israel, according to audited results reported here today. This is a 37 percent increase over 1980 pledges by the same contributors. An additional $2,536,950 for Project Renewal was pledged at the mission's state dinner with Premier Menachem Begin in the Knesset.
Consisting of 422 men and women from American Jewish communities throughout the U.S., the $10,000 minimum gift mission was the largest major gifts leadership group ever brought to Israel by the UJA. It was led by UJA national vice chairman Joel Breslau of Washington, D.C.
Begin applauded the evening's expression of leadership support for ongoing humanitarian programs and for Project Renewal as clear and strong evidence of American Jewish solidarity with Israel's people.
Breslau and the mission's team of top-ranking national and regional officers pointed out that the fundraising results continued an unbroken sequence of UJA national events which have resulted in increased campaign giving of 35-40 percent. This indicates that the national events achievable, they stated. The UJA is donating a 1981 goal of $635 million in the regular 98 campaign, plus a minimum of $54 million for Project Renewal.
The state dinner ended a comprehensive four-day program which took participants into 23 Project Renewal neighborhoods to meet the President, developed dialogues with pioneering families engaged in repopulating the Galilee and in resettling in the Negev under the terms of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty; and surveyed to aide range of Jewish Agency and Joint Distribution Committee programs aiding the young, the elderly, the handicapped and new immigrants.
The concentrated President's Mission itinerary also included a welcoming address by Israel's President Yitzhak Navon, the mission's post, background briefings on military security as general officers of the Israel Air Force and the northern and southern commands; presentation on the full spectrum of Jewish Agency programs by chairman Leon Dulzin, treasurer Akiva Levinsky, rural settlement department head Dr. Hanson Weitz and director-general Shimon Louis, and Project Renewal director Yehiel Admoni.
In an innovative first-night series of seven dinner meetings at the homes of outstanding Israeli personalities, groups of mission members received an overview of Israel's present and future status which strongly combined realism with suppressions of faith and optimism. Hosts for the seen dialogues included Knesset members, Mayor Shlomo Lahat of Tel Aviv, and Avraham Shavit, president of the Israel Manufacturers' Association.
During deeply emotional visits to Jerusalem, the full delegation of American Jewish leadership voiced allegiance to the united, historic capital of the Jewish people in a candlelit ceremony at the Western Wall, paid tribute to those who have fallen in Israel's five wars since independence, and honored the heroes and martyrs of the Holocaust and of Jewish resistance in a Yizkor service at Yod Vashem.

Trout Trail Date Night gets 'em hooked
A fly-fishing lesson probably isn't on the list of date options for most girls. But maybe it will be, if news of the Laurel Highlands Trout Trail Date Night gets around.
The season's second such activity was held June 30 at Foggy Mountain Lodge near Stahlstown, where the girls got the hang of casting just as well as the guys — or maybe even better.
After watching a "beautiful cast" by Kathy Koontz of Ligonier, instructor Leo Vensel said women tend to bring a little more finesse to the process than do the men.
Pittsburgh resident Vensel is a licensed Pennsylvania fishing guide and Certified Federation of Fly Fishers instructor. Helping him with the lesson, which included everything from humor and praise to physics and sound effects, were his wife, Christine, and instructors Bob Shusko and Monty Murty.
Date night wrapped up with dinner at the picturesque lodge, featuring choices of steak, chicken or, naturally, fish.
The Trout Trail is a partnership between the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor and Trout Unlimited chapters in the Laurel Highlands.
"We're trying to get more people to enjoy the outdoors and all that we have to offer in this area," said Heritage Corridor Executive Director Olga Herbert, who was on hand to welcome guests.
Information on Trout Trail activities is available at www.lhtrouttrail.com.
Gone fishin': Jim Koontz, Emil and Carol Pavlovich, Rick and Ruth Poth, Jack and Deb Ciak, Howard and Tracy Holesapple, Bob and Susan Hook and Bob and Diane Rohlf.

Falsely accused murderers and rapists aren't the only ones getting their good names restored by DNA testing. So is U.S. founding father, statesman and scientist Ben Franklin, whose historical reputation of late has fallen under the shadow of, well, a tree. Thousands of them, actually. Invasive Chinese tallow trees are overruning swaths of the U.S. gulf coast, and Franklin has been suspected of having brought their ancestors to the country. The man on the $100 bill did indeed import such trees to the republic he was helping to forge, but the new genetic tests indicate his trees weren't those whose descendants are proliferating wildly. Curiously, the new research indicates Franklin's trees have been relatively well behaved, perhaps more so than their notoriously womanizing owner. "It's widely known that Franklin introduced tallow trees to the U.S. in the late 1700s," said biologist Evan Siemann of Rice University in Texas, co-author the study published in this month's American Journal of Botany. "Franklin was living in London, and he had tallow seeds shipped to associates in Georgia." What Franklin couldn't have known was that tallow trees—also known as chicken trees or popcorn trees—would overachieve in the New World. Today, they're classified as an invasive species. Like Asian carp in the Great Lakes and kudzu vines in the eastern U.S., they're spreading so fast that they're destroying native habitats and causing economic damage. Each tallow tree can produce up to a half million seeds a year. That fertility is one reason Franklin and others were interested in them. Each seed is covered by a waxy, white tallow that can be processed to make soap, candles and edible oil. The plant is "an ornamental tree with colorful autumn foliage that can survive full sunlight and shade, flooding, drought, and in some cases fire," said a U.S. Geological Survey report from October 2000. "To horticulturists this kind of tree sounds like a dream, but to ecologists, land managers, and land owners this kind of tree can be a nightmare… when tallow invades, it eventually monopolizes an area, creating a forest without native animal or plant species." Siemann and two colleagues collected and froze leaves from more than 1,000 tallow trees at 51 sites in the U.S. and a dozen sites in China. The researchers conducted hundreds of genetic scans on the leaves, and spent more than two years analyzing the results. There were a few surprises. First, the researchers said, the tallow trees running amok in many U.S. states aren't from the batch Franklin imported; the descendants of those trees are confined to a few thousand square miles of coastal plain in northern Georgia and southern South Carolina. All other U.S. tallow trees the team sampled were found to have descended from seeds federal biologists brought to the U.S. around 1905. As far as Franklin's trees, the genetic picture "is muddled; we may never know where they originated," Siemann said. "But the genetic evidence for the other population—the one that's problematic in the Gulf Coast—clearly points to it being descended from eastern China, probably in the area around Shanghai." Beyond his attempts to solve the horticultural whodunit, Siemann has spent more than 10 years compiling evidence on the differences between U.S. and Chinese tallow trees. For example, the insects that help keep tallow trees in check in Asia don't live in the U.S., and Siemann and his colleagues have found that the U.S. trees invest far less energy in producing chemicals that ward off insects. They've also found that U.S. trees grow about 30 percent faster than their Chinese kin. "This raises some interesting scientific questions," Siemann said. "Are tallow trees in the U.S. undergoing evolutionary selection?" he asked, referring to adaptations that species undergo in response to environmental pressures. "Did those original plants brought from China have the traits to be successful or did they change after they arrived? Does it matter where they came from in China, or would any tallow tree do just as well in the U.S.?" In controlled tests in China, the researchers found the U.S. trees even grew and spread faster than their Chinese forebears, despite the lack of chemical defenses to ward off insects. "They suffered twice the damage from insects that the natives did, but they grew so much faster that they still retained a competitive edge," Siemann said. "In some ways, this raises even more questions, but it clearly shows that if you are going to explore control methods for an invasive species, you to need to use appropriate genetic material to make certain your tests are valid." Siemann said that with many new species of plants and animals still being introduced from foreign environments into the U.S. each year, it is vitally important for scientists to better understand the circumstances that cause introduced species to cross the line and become dangerous invasive pests.


text: The legend should sound pretty familiar by now: The oft-brilliant country/ roots/alternative band Uncle Tupelo broke up in 1994, breaking the hearts of its cultish following. At that point, two offshoots formed (Jay Farrar's Son Volt and Jeff Tweedy's Wilco), each making a record that amply represented one of the two wonderful sides of Uncle Tupelo. (Son Volt turned out a set of forlorn, countrified, ragged ballads, while Wilco made more clear-sounding, twangy rock songs.) You could put Wilco's A.M. and Son Volt's Trace in a disc-changer, hit random-play, and have yourself a great Uncle Tupelo double-album. Now, two years after Tupelo's demise, there's a great Wilco double-album, a 19-song set that finds Tweedy dipping more generously and ambitiously into the wells of country, pop, roots and all-out rock and roll. Those innately cynical of double-albums needn't worry about overlength: At 76 minutes, Being There could've fit on one disc, and the package lists at the same price as regular CDs. And fans will be thrilled to hear Wilco roughing up its trademark sound and getting a bit more adventurous, moody and dissonant throughout this fine new album.

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israel and the Palestinian Authority rebuffed a U.N. Security Council rebuke on Tuesday, as they braced themselves for what has been billed as a new U.S. Middle East peace initiative. Secretary of State Colin Powell is expected to present the plan in a speech next week.
Israel said it was not expecting anything new in what has been dubbed the "Powell plan," but a senior advisor to PA Chairman Yasser Arafat said the Palestinians want to see the U.S. lay out a plan for fulfilling President Bush's recent commitment to the establishment of a Palestinian State.
Nabil Abu Rudeineh said that the Palestinians are looking for the implementation of the promises that have been made.
"We will not be satisfied [with Powell's plan] if it doesn't contain a mechanism for implementation," Abu Rudeineh said in a telephone interview.
A timeline or timetable for implementing the promises and procedures on the ground, which would be enforced by the U.S. and U.N. are elements that Palestinians would like to see included. Otherwise, Abu Rudeineh said, it will be just another statement.
The "promises," he said, include President Bush's recent pledge that the U.S. backs the establishment of a Palestinian State, or "Palestine" as Bush called it in his weekend speech at the U.N. General Assembly.
"Without implementation it will lead to frustration," he said.
Israel has accused the Palestinians of doing nothing or very little to stop violence and rein in terror. But Abu Rudeineh, said that once negotiations start and agreements are made, then the Palestinians will begin to fulfill their commitments.
"Once there is an agreement, once there are [international] observers then we are ready to comply with all the commitments," he said.
Backed by the U.S., Israel has vehemently opposed the stationing of international observers, saying that such forces would protect Palestinian militants and prevent Israel from fighting terrorism.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it would be "premature" to comment on or judge the reported plan but an official in Jerusalem, who spoke on condition of anonymity said that as Israel understands it there is no real "plan" per se.
According to Israel's understanding, Powell is going to present the guidelines about what the U.S. would like to see in the region, the source said.
There won't be anything spectacular and he won't want to "annoy" either side very much, but on the other hand he won't "mince words," he said.
Israel may not like the rhetoric it is going to hear, but Israel is not expecting to hear anything new, he added.
An Israeli diplomat in Washington was quoted as saying that the administration has pledged that Powell will not mention Jerusalem or Palestinian refugees, the two most contentious issues between Israel and the PA.
Powell himself has restated that what the region needs is to implement a moribund ceasefire agreement brokered months ago by CIA chief George Tenet, but never implemented.
That is the first step in implementing a broader set of recommendations put forth by a committee headed by former U.S. Senator George Mitchell, which is aimed at returning the sides to the negotiating table.
The U.S. has been under intense international pressure even before September 11 to become more involved in resolving the Middle East crisis. That pressure increased in the aftermath of the attacks as the President Bush worked to gain the support of Arab and Muslim nations for the fight against terror.
But shortly after the September 11 terror attacks in the U.S. reports surfaced that Powell had intended to lay out a new U.S. peace initiative at the U.N. General Assembly meeting, which was then postponed.
No details of that plan have ever been released, though Powell has suggested that Washington would make some diplomatic move in the next few days.
Security Council Rebuke
Israel and the PA on Tuesday brushed aside a rebuke by the foreign ministers of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, which called on Israel to withdraw from two PA-controlled cities and the PA to rein in terror and violence.
In a statement, the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France also said they "strongly encourage the Israelis and Palestinians to take the necessary security, economic and political steps to move from confrontation to resumption of a political process."
"We have always said there is nothing that we would like better...than to leave [PA-controlled] area A," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Immanuel Nachshon. "[Israel's being there is a direct result] of a total lack of action on the part of the Palestinians."
Israel entered six PA-controlled cities to arrest terrorists and prevent attacks after the unprecedented assassination of a government minister. It has since left four of those areas after making deals with local Palestinian commanders to maintain calm. It postponed its withdrawal from the two cities due to warnings of imminent attacks.
Abu Rudeineh said that the Palestinians are ready and waiting to fulfill their commitments. "We are ready to do our part," Abu Rudeineh said. "We are ready to respect our commitments."
One source in Jerusalem said that it appears that the Palestinians are at least beginning to take security measures into their hands, which would free up Israel to leave PA-controlled areas. But it is unclear if the move is purely tactical so as not to make trouble during the U.N. conference, he said.
But a former head of Israeli intelligence Shlomo Gazit warned that if there is no intervention, the situation is likely to deteriorate into all out war.
"Unless there is an intervention that stops the process and causes it to change direction, we will shortly face an extreme escalation in terrorist violence and an extreme intensification of Israeli retaliatory measures," Gazit wrote in Tuesday's Jerusalem Post.

He was a capital comic actor, and owed his by-name to his success in playing Dicky, in the "Constant Couple."
It is well I knew what man he was under his by-name and his disguise.
He was for ordinary somewhat grave and silent, a dark man with hair and beard the colour of molten iron, whence came his by-name.
Alex inquired, remembering how the nun had addressed her by-name.
His companions began to call him "The Big-un" and the by-name still clings to him.
It was not so; and the by-name by which I went behind my back confirmed it.
His daughter was named Steinvor, a pretty girl and well set up; her by-name was Slim-ankles.
All these troops arrived by degrees in Tepeaca, and respectively obtained some by-name or other from our men.
"Indeed, and I hope it may be no more than a by-name," she said gravely.
This by-name we unexpectedly find in a grave antiquarian law-dictionary!
