"Art into Nature ~ The Landscape Projects of Beverly Pepper Beverly Pepper is internationally renowned As an abstract sculptor; nevertheless, Her work has always been informed by the forms And forces of the natural world. Her outdoor environmental projects Are not an assault on nature But a collaboration with the landscape.

Turns out the daughter took a field trip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the man she met (who had almost the same exact chat screen name as my nephew!) was a big burly convict-looking New York City Cop. The Judge is going to send the daughter to counseling and order her to perform community service … and give her a hug.

Last Update: 6/1/2005     3:24:15 PM OSLO, Norway (AP) – The city of Oslo is offering a 310-thousand-dollar reward for the return of the stolen Edvard Munch paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna." The two were snatched by gunmen in a heist at the city-owned Munch Museum in August. Four people have been arrested in the case but the paintings haven’t been recovered. And officials say their offer is a simple "exchange of paintings for money." Police have rejected reports that the thieves destroyed the paintings because they feared police were closing in and did not want to be caught with the evidence. Experts say both paintings are too well known for the thieves to be able to sell them.

Viewers of Internet molestation to be charged ————————————————————————— —– Men offered suggestions as girl was being abused By DAN HERBECK News Staff Reporter 6/3/2005  Federal authorities are expected to file charges against men from other states and countries for their role in the sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl in Jamestown, New York. A Jamestown man already pleaded guilty to state charges in the case and is trying to work out a federal plea deal that would send him to federal prison for 18 years. But the men elsewhere who were watching the abuse live on the Internet – and sending instant messages offering encouragement and suggestions – are now the targets of the federal probe. "This investigation is now worldwide in scope, and we’re putting a lot of resources into determining who else might have been involved," added Special Agent Paul M. Moskal, spokesman for the Buffalo FBI office. "This is the first time anything like this has been uncovered in Western New York. Essentially, we have a case of interactive molestation of a young girl," Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin J. Littlefield said. "They’ve taken this kind of crime up to a new level . . . It’s outrageous." In this case, Littlefield said, it is important to note that a concerned member of the victim’s family told Jamestown police they believed James F. Lindgren Sr. might be molesting the girl. "Jamestown police quickly brought the FBI into the case, and they were able to bring this to a stop," Littlefield said. "It’s a good thing someone came forward with the information." Lindgren, 55, appeared before District Judge Richard J. Arcara in an attempt to enter a guilty plea late Thursday, but the judge objected to some of the language of the agreement and ordered attorneys to make changes.

Bean paste curbs obesity, study finds Want to stay healthy? Then stick to a traditional Korean diet with plenty of "doenjang," fermented soy bean paste. That’s what a study by professor Park Gyun-young of Busan University found. He has scientific evidence to back the time-old belief that Korean traditional bean paste prevents obesity, and discovered that the soy bean paste has much stronger antiobesity properties than "gochujang," red pepper paste. The researchers put two groups of mice on a high-fat diet for a month, feeding one group of mice with an additional 10 percent of bean paste. Mice fed bean paste put on an average 246.6 grams while the others recorded a 287.4-gram weight increase. "While the main ingredient of doenjang, soy bean, is being fermented and dissolved into amino acids, it seems to boost the antiobesity effect," Park said. "If we look into its mechanism further, it could be used in medicines." While reinforcing a long-held belief on the nation’s condiments, the study also discovered that the obesity-fighting effect varies – it is the strongest in doenjang, then ssamjang (a mix of doenjang and gochujang), and weakest in gochujang.

States consider obesity surgery coverage NOREEN GILLESPIE Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. – A proposal before Connecticut lawmakers would require insurance companies to cover the surgery for people with a body-mass index of 30 or more if a doctor deems the surgery medically necessary. The BMI is a widely used formula based on height and weight. The Connecticut proposal may not get off the ground this session because lawmakers are struggling to define under what medical conditions the surgery should be covered, said Sen. Joseph Crisco, a Woodbridge Democrat who chairs the legislative committee looking at the issue. The debate is not unlike others across the country. Georgia lawmakers are considering a similar bill this year. And in Louisiana, 40 state employees were chosen last year from 1,200 applications to get the surgery on the state’s dime. The standard surgery, which can cost between $20,000 and $35,000, involves using staples to separate a small pouch at the stomach’s top from the rest of the stomach, greatly limiting the amount of food that can be eaten. The procedure also involves bypassing much of the small intestine so that less food is absorbed into the body. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama recently stopped paying for the operations while it decides how to handle claims; Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida has also decided to stop paying for the operation. In Connecticut, many major plans offer coverage only for large numbers of employees. Others are considering offering the coverage for an additional charge. "What we’re starting to see is an increase in what we would consider at best, unnecessary, and at worst, unsafe, surgery," said Keith Stover, a lobbyist for the Connecticut Association of Health Plans. "Many plans decide the best course of action simply is to exclude coverage." But many physicians say the long-term benefits of weight loss surgery outweigh the risk. Gastric bypass surgery can help cure obesity-related health problems such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and even diabetes, said Dr. Jonathan Aranow, director of the Middlesex Hospital Center for Obesity Surgery. It can also cut down on the long-term cost of medications, he said. "The surgery pays for itself in under three years," he said. "There is no question that there are cost savings." Last year the federal government opened the door for Medicare coverage of gastric bypass surgery. But some lawmakers and insurers are also worried about risks. State Rep. Anthony D’Amelio, R-Waterbury, said noted two people in his district died after having the operation. Complications strike as many as 1 in 5 patients having the surgery, and it is believed that for every 200 patients, 1 to 4 will die. Estimates are that more than 100,000 people will have the surgery this year. "I would rather see people try to do it the harder way, exercise and eating properly," D’Amelio said. "I know it’s a struggle … I think it’s the safest route." But for some patients, the hard way hasn’t worked. Deborah Sicaras, 36, of Wethersfield, has tried Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, diet pills and liquid diets; she also teaches ballet, tap and jazz four days a week. "I’m one of the fortunate ones who will be able to have this surgery in the very near future," she said. "I can’t do this by myself. I need assistance. I’ve dieted my whole life."

My recollections of mice are years old, but, I think, they weigh many times less than 246 grams, an amount that those mice "put on" on average, according to the report. According to http://www.rmca.org/Articles/cagesize.htm, average weight of a mouse is 25 grams. I have hard times believing that any sort of "mutant mice" would be able to GAIN 10 times more the weight of an average mouse. Perhaps you were kidding and I did not get the joke, in which case I apologize.

Sorry, I meant to put ";-)" after "These are mutant mice."  So, I was   kidding.  Most of these studies are pure BS and used to further someone’s   position.  (Any bets as to who paid for this study?) — Bob in CT

Hi BJ, and Wes, and Everyone Else, First, my apologies for not having written in awhile, but again I need the electronic shoulder to lean on… Kelley has been struggling in her ongoing battle with lupus.  She contracted pneumonia again six weeks ago which her doctors have been treating with the strongest oral antibiotics available.  She has also developed nine more spots on her legs and those already on face and arms are flaring again. This all started when my parents gave us a hard time regarding how we were raising our daughter, Kelsey – who will be 4 on 23Jan05.  Mom and Dad use my sister’s kids as a measuring stick, but very selectively.  My sister and brother-in-law drink like fish just as my parents use to, and I witnessed first-hand their drinking and driving in May05.  A couple of weeks ago, I also learned that while Kelsey stayed with them from Dec03-May04 (because Kelley suffered a stroke, kidney & bowel shutdown and pneumonia), my mom directed my sister to have an Autism test run on Kelsey because she had speech issues.  We are addressing Kelsey’s speech issues with ChildFind’s help.  The conflict got so bad after we brought Kelsey home in June04, that this past weekend I had to sever our relationship with my parents and my sister’s family because the stress was causing unending lupus flares for Kelley.  Kelley and I are both very nervous as she nearly died on 20Dec03 from the aforementioned issues coupled with the fact that her health began to decline again when the weather started turning cold.

Everybody, cross your fingers I go to the college tomorrow morning to register, sign up for classes, etc. I’m a little nervous tonight. There are 18 pages of English classes listed in the directory. I have to pick just one or two. I figure I’ll be a chicken and place my resignation from my job through the little mail slot over the weekend. That’s giving her from this weekend until Jan 2 to find somebody. That’s giving her 6 weeks notice. The last day of school will be Dec 23. That will be my last day!!! (I wonder if she will expect me to be at work on Jan 3?) I guess I should give her the resignation in person that would be the kindest thing to do. I’ll have to think about that. But for right now I just have to get through tomorrow morning at the college. One step at a time!! Nervous hardly explains it, I’m scared, excited, anxious, etc. all rolled into one. The local campus is very small. I might have to go to a different campus for some classes. I don’t know. Just wish me luck.

ooo…just reading "house full of people" kind of raises the anxiety level here. I don’t like crowds or noise. I blew it this year. Nobody came the other years for Halloween, so I never bought anything this year. Figures, some kids banged on the door all night and I had to hide :( Hugs J
