:Random thoughts from a Renegade Mom:

Saturday, June 11, 2005 Judge: Parents can't teach pagan beliefs  I've not posted on this because of my very strong personal feelings. I am both a pagan and a mother and the issue really hits home. I run a pagan parenting group and support my friends in raising their children pagan, so I have a real bias about it. I will just refer to MoxieGrrrl: Ya know, I thought we lived in America, where you could practice whatever religion (or not) you wanted to... Judge: Parents can't teach pagan beliefs Father appeals order in divorce decree that prevents couple from exposing son to Wicca. An Indianapolis father is appealing a Marion County judge's unusual order that prohibits him and his ex-wife from exposing their child to "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals." The parents practice Wicca, a contemporary pagan religion that emphasizes a balance in nature and reverence for the earth. Cale J. Bradford, chief judge of the Marion Superior Court, kept the unusual provision in the couple's divorce decree last year over their fierce objections, court records show. The order does not define a mainstream religion. First of all, the US military even recognizes Wicca as a religion. Second, who the hell is this fucktard to tell these parents they aren't allowed to expose their own child to their religion? It's not even like one parent practices Wicca and the other is devout Christian - BOTH are practitioners! What is WRONG with that idiot??? Isn't this BLATENTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL?

Traditionally famous for his red hair and yellow jump suit, Ronald will be seen juggling fruit and snowboarding in a TV advert to be screened on Friday. The leaner, more health-conscious Ronald will encourage children to get up and join him playing sports. Images of hamburgers and fries, the food McDonald’s is best known for, will be noticeably absent from the campaign I hate that marketers try and influence my child. I just have to agree with Modern Day Dad As if people needed another excuse to hate clowns, McDonald's has decided their mascot Ronald McDonald isn't projecting quite the image that they want. So to freshen him up they're giving him a closer-cropped haircut and clothes that show off his lean, trim figure. He's also going to be more active in commercials, playing sports and encouraging kids to join him. Hey, if you want people to believe your food is healthy, you can't have a fat clown peddling it. What next is Grimis getting his stomach stapled?

A discovery that may someday help to explain human social behavior and disorders such as autism has been made in a species of pudgy rodents by researchers funded, in part, by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and National Center for Research Resources (NCRR). The researchers traced social behavior traits, such as monogamy, to seeming glitches in DNA that determines when and where a gene turns on. The length of these repeating sequences --— once dismissed as mere junk DNA -- in the gene that codes for a key hormone receptor determined male-female relations and parenting behaviors in a species of voles. These gene variations link to receptors in the brain thain turnrn lead to a "wired" behavior. Every animal has it's own sequences "signature". They have found that monogamous animals had a longer sequence than polygamous animals. Even with in the species there was a great variation. To explaine this behavioral "wiring", imagine the brain is a room and these receptors are locked doors. When the body produces hormones, if the proper receptors, (for lets say the feeling of security) are there the door is "unlocked". The response depends on which "door" is opened. Variability in...receptor length could help account for differences in normal human personality traits, such as shyness, and perhaps influence disorders of sociability like autism and social anxiety disorders, suggest the researchers...Two studies have found modest associations between alterations in this (DNA Sequences) and autism in some families. As subgroups of autism spectrum disorders are characterized, a stronger connection may emerge.

They seem to show promise in reducing the risk of breast and prostate cancer, colorectal malignancies and in enhancing cancer treatments. "A very interesting property of these compounds is that they have been shown to cause cell death in tumor cells but not in normal cells," These two remedies are both found in nature. Propolis is a resinous substance collected by bees from the bark and leaves of trees and plants. Since ancient times, propolis extracts have been used as antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments. The major active ingredient in propolis is caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE). Recent research has found CAPE protecting mice against radiation-induced inflammation and skin damage, and also protecting rats against certain forms of heart muscle damage after they were given chemotherapy drugs. Tumeric, a spice that is widely used in Indian cooking, contains the compound curcumin and has been shown in the past to greatly reduced rates of colon cancer. "Based on these interesting properties of CAPE and curcumin and their good safety profile, our lab has carried out studies in cell cultures and experimental animal tumor, showing that the compounds can make tumor cells more susceptible to chemotherapy and radiation, while having little effect or even reducing some of the toxic effects of radiation on normal cells," Koumenis said.

Microbicides, which use a variety of means to either kill the HIV virus in the vagina, block it from infecting other cells or prevent it from multiplying. This new technology, which is currently under advanced human testing, "can be used completely surreptitiously, it does not need a partner's consent," says Abdool Karim, of South Africa's University of KwaZulu-Nata. This is a big step for women. AIDS experts estimate microbicides, some of which have names such as "Invisible Condom," could prevent 2.5 million deaths from AIDS over three years. But as with most research that involves women: (A).. major obstacle was the lack of involvement by major pharmaceutical companies. Most microbicide projects are being undertaken by small bio-technology companies, often funded only through donations from groups such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "If we were working on a microbicide for men, I'm sure we'd have every big pharmaceutical company involved," he said.

Rapid breathing, although temporary, was also more common in infants born to mothers choosing c-section. When the analysis was confined to mothers who underwent c-section after trying labor first, there was no longer a difference between the groups in admission rates to the advanced care nursery. There is a serious health risk here, and women need to know before make their choice. "The decision to undergo elective cesarean delivery appears to have a negative impact on immediate neonatal outcomes," the authors state. They advise that for women considering a repeat cesarean delivery, "physicians should counsel patients about potential neonatal issues in addition to concern for maternal well-being." C-section rates hit an all time high in 2003 - 27% of pregnant women in the United States -- according to government data. Malpractice and litigation are the main reasons why doctors seem to be pushing more C-sections, but there are also issues with doctors and patients just electing to have C-sections because of the convenience.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently recommended two new ingredients as mosquito repellents, picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus, marking the first time the agency has suggested anything other than the chemical DEET for mosquito bite prevention. Although they have proclaimed the safety of DEET there are serious health risks to be considered: The Medical Sciences Bulletin, published by Pharmaceutical Information Associates Ltd. reports, "Up to 56% of DEET applied topically penetrates intact human skin and 17% is absorbed into the bloodstream." Blood concentrations of about 3 mg per litre have been reported several hours after DEET repellent was applied to skin in the prescribed fashion. DEET is also absorbed by the gut. The most serious concerns about DEET are its effects on the central nervous system. Dr. Mohammed Abou-Donia of Duke University studied lab animals' performance of neuro-behavioural tasks requiring muscle co-ordination. He found that lab animals exposed to the equivalent of average human doses of DEET performed far worse than untreated animals. Abou-Donia also found that combined exposure to DEET and permethrin, a mosquito spray ingredient, can lead to motor deficits and learning and memory dysfunction. There are natural options. For years people have been using more natural mosquito repellents, there use to be a time where it wasn't "better living through chemistry". CDC officials said they chose to act now because recent studies have reassured them of the safety and effectiveness of the two ingredients. Agency scientists reviewed existing literature and concluded there was sufficient evidence to safely recommend picaridin, a chemical used in other countries and sold in one U.S. product, and oil of lemon eucalyptus, a natural ingredient found in various lotions and sprays. Good for them, they now know something that I've known for years. Oil of lemon eucalyptus (p-menthane 3,8-diol or PMD): A plant-based ingredient that protects as effectively as low-concentration DEET repellents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)....A 2003 study published in Phytotherapy Research comparing the effectiveness of oil of lemon eucalyptus and DEET with other ingredients found that the plant repellent and DEET performed better at 75 percent concentration than two others. More on the "new" insect repellents Gina froze in time on 7:10 PM [ | ] Parents hindering Military Recruiters -- Good for them!  The New York Times ran an article on how parents we interfering with the Recruiting at a local high school in New York. A four-year-old federal law requires public schools to give military recruiters the same access to students as college recruiters get, or lose federal funding. "Parents," said one recruiter in Ohio who insisted on anonymity because the Army ordered all recruiters not to talk to reporters, "are the biggest hurdle we face." I can really see why a lot of parents have a problem with recuiters in their kids school when they face things like this: Rachel Rogers, a single mother of four in upstate New York,... she learned that they taught students how to throw hand grenades, using baseballs as stand-ins. Orlando Terrazas, a former truck driver in Southern California, said he was struck when his son told him that recruiters were promising students jobs as musicians. Recruitment has been described as predatory, deceptive, and discriminatory. A report from the San Francisco Bay Guardian reports on some of their techniques: "Recruiters are telling young people a number of falsities," Allison told us. "For example, they'll go after Asian and Latino youth and tell them they will get citizenship. The irony is that it really only kicks in after the person is killed in battle." The most common promise recruiters use to entice young people into service, according to Allison, is that the military will finance their college education. In fact, G.I. Bill participants have to pay the military $100 a month during their first year of service in order to be eligible for education benefits later. That $1,200 deposit is nonrefundable, even though a Rand Corp. Study conducted in 2000 found that only 16 percent of enlisted personnel who complete four years in the military ever receive money for school. Equally disingenuous, Allison says, are recruiters' promises of job training and career development. "They lie about the kinds of jobs [recruits] will get. The military doesn't have to make any promises you might sign up to be a fighter pilot and end up being a mail clerk." And that view is backed up, only a small percentage of military personnel say they use the skills they learned in the military in civilian jobs. These promises are especially troubling for minority groups, minority students may be especially vulnerable because of the lack of opportunity in their lives. It's sad to say that our poor are manning our military in search of more economic opportunity. I support families keeping their kids informed and safe from these predatory practices. I don't think military recruiters belong in the schools. High school students can easily fall prey to the "enticing" life of the military, I'm glad there parents out there working to stop it.

Because children spend a significant portion of their day at a day-care center, the allergens put children at risk for all types of problem later in life. The study of 89 day-care centers in two counties in central North Carolina found that each of them had detectable levels of seven common allergens from fungus, cats, cockroaches, dust mites, dogs and mice.

The ads in question say things like: "Bless this Crack House" in a framed floral cross-stitch picture. "There's no place like home for a gangland slaying" appearing on a floral patterned cushion background. While the third ad uses the line "Home Sweet Derelict Trailer Park" against a heart-shaped wooden sign hanging on a wall.

But will Hollywood get the message? Over the last 15 years the movie industry produced 123 films targeted towards families, only 4% of the top 3,000 films, but on average those movies profited $79m while the 1,533 films (52%) targeted at 18+ group only profited $7m. The report found that the number of movies for all ages made by Hollywood had increased by 38% since 1999. In the same period, the production of adult-oriented movies dropped by 12%. While I don't want Hollywood to produce only child friendly movies, but I would like to see a better variety, I get tired of watching Finding Nemo over and over and over and...... But on that note, I think we can go too far. Reading recently about CleanFilms, that will "sanitize" Hollywood movies so you can watch them with your children. While I'm all for watching movies as a family, I'm not sure Gangs of New York will have the same impact without the graphic violence and sex. I say, if you don't want to watch a violent movie, then get a comedy.

After becoming infertile in her teens and trying IVF with donated eggs the gift of ovary tissue helps a her sister finally have the baby she desired. Soon after the procedure was completed the previously infertile 25-year-old woman started having periods. Doctors told the New England Journal of Medicine how it might help advance ways to preserve cancer patients' fertility. I know many women strugling with infertility, while this is not a solution for infertitily in general it has great potential. "The demonstration that ovarian function can be restored and that natural conception and successful pregnancy can be achieved after transplantation of ovarian tissue may have broader implications for young women, such as those who require potentially sterilising treatment for cancer." Looking even further in the future, this could possible be a use of theraputic cloning, helping a much widder group of infertal women. We don't all have identical twin sisters.

Teenagers who see themselves as either too heavy or too thin may be at heightened risk of attempting suicide, regardless of what their weight actually is, a new study suggests. However, the teenagers' actual weight did not affect their risk of suicidal behavior once their perceptions of their weight were taken into account. It's not a big surprise for anyone who has been a teen in the last twenty year, media telling us we are not good enough the way we are. He points out that although roughly 72 percent of girls in this study were of normal weight, more than one third described themselves as overweight and 12 percent thought they were underweight. Even more interesting is the cultural effects our weight has on our own body image. By race, the results were much different. The investigators observed some important racial differences. Among black students, those who perceived themselves as overweight were not more likely than their peers to consider or attempt suicide - a finding, the researchers note, that is consistent with studies showing that black women tend to be more accepting of a larger body size. So is it the medias fault, or is it our own cultural fault, white men and women are less accepting of their overweight peer than other races?

Apparently the Great Threat to Our Nation are breasts.

Now The View has never worried about talking about anything and expressing their views, but the discussion really ticked me and several other breastfeeding mothers off. The discussion quickly turned to bashing breastfeeding mothers. The big announcement was that her one month old baby was finally on a bottle (round of applause and congratulations). This was what pushed the tide. Blogging mothers around the net spread the word: For all my NY, NJ and surrounding area readers … There will be a "nurse" in at a taping of The View. Monday, June 6th, 2005, at 11 a.m. the corner of Columbus Avenue and 67th Street ABC Studios New York City Among other incidents: Barbara Walters has repeatedly denigrated mothers who nurse their babies in public, and states that millions of babies have been raised on formula and they're just fine, implying that breastfeeding advocates are ill-informed. Elisabeth Hasselbeck claimed to have been harrassed at Disney by sling-wearing La Leche League leaders while pregnant with her child, which led to all the hosts bashing breastfeeding advocates (and which also led to a response from LLL, which was not pleased to have been slandered) as nuts. The final straw? On yesterdayÂ’s show, the hosts made "a big announcement" - Elisabeth's month old baby has been put onto formula, which was applauded as a huge, wonderful, happy milestone. "The View" has made it clear that they regard breastfeeding parents with contempt. Spread the word on the nurse-in - let them know that enough is enough. -starryskye.org Good for them!

Gina froze in time on 7:06 PM [ | ] Lesbian Fruit Flies proves genetic predisposition?  Scientist altered the genes of a female fruit fly, by adding a single male component, and the fruit fly started to perform seductions of other female fruit flies. That one gene, the researchers are announcing today in the journal Cell, is apparently by itself enough to create patterns of sexual behavior - a kind of master sexual gene that normally exists in two distinct male and female variants. In a series of experiments, the researchers found that females given the male variant of the gene acted exactly like males in courtship, madly pursuing other females. Males that were artificially given the female version of the gene became more passive and turned their sexual attention to other males. "What it tells us is that instinctive behaviors can be specified by genetic programs, just like the morphologic development of an organ or a nose." I have to agree with Dr. Michael Weiss, chairman of the department of biochemistry at Case Western Reserve University. "Hopefully this will take the discussion about sexual preferences out of the realm of morality and put it in the realm of science." This study just goes to support the long held scientific belief that sexual orientation was programmed in our brains. But of even more interest is the possibility that a number of behaviors could also be linked to genetics - a sense of humor, bravery, aggression - could all these also be linked to our genes? Scientist do speculate that "wired" behavior can be modified: All the researchers cautioned that any of these wired behaviors set by master genes will probably be modified by experience. Though male fruit flies are programmed to pursue females, Dr. Dickson said, those that are frequently rejected over time become less aggressive in their mating behavior.

''We're not going to turn great surgeons into acupuncturists or herbalists; that's not the idea,'' said Robert Duggan, co-founder of Tai Sophia. ''The goal is that Penn medical school graduates will be highly able to speak with patients about how to guide these things into their overall care.'' Can I get a "hallelujah!" It's about time "conventional" medicine stop scoffing at the time tested (although not necessarily clinically tested) treatments that have been handed down for generations. The reason why "alternative" medicines were abandoned years before is that they were the prescribed by wise women or "witches" and lord know that "women didn't know anything about making people healthy...pass the leeches, we need to release the poisonous blood..." Gina froze in time on 7:46 AM [ | ] Why no little blue pill for women?  For a lot of reasons women, after they have children, have a loss of libido or "not tonight dear". It can be contributed to the lack of sleep moms get, the ever rising responsibilities, OR it could be an actual physical, chemical reasons. We live in a time where men who have "E.D." have had there "little blue pill" and now a whole handful of others. But for some reason the FDA doesn't want to push though a hormonal drug to help women with their libido problem. The New York Times reports on several drug in development and waiting for approval, but the road has been very bumpy The F.D.A. has blocked approval of Procter & Gamble's Intrinsa so far, because the company could not rule out possible long-term effects associated with other hormone therapies, and this action has companies worried. How long is long enough, they wonder, before a testosterone product for women qualifies as safe? I don't have any idea why the FDA is dragging it's feet on this, I know many women could benefit from this type of treatment, it could help save marriages, possible help prevent adultery and simply make the quality of many marriages better. "Sexual incompatibility" is THE top reason in the US for couples to divorce. Now I don't think a pill or a patch is a magic cure, there are also many emotional hurdles involved with this issue, but testosterone would be a good start to recognizing the issues surrounding the lack of sexual desire in women. German researchers, writing in The Journal of Endocrinology in 2001, posited the following: "Testosterone might have direct effects on cognitive behavior, e.g., influence the awareness of sexual cues, but it is also suggested that testosterone may act peripherally to enhance sexual pleasure and thereby increase sexual desire and even sexual activity, circumstances and partner permitting." In other words, a tincture of testosterone for a woman having sex could mean the difference between making a mental grocery list or hearing Beethoven's Ninth. The testosterone patch is currently available "off label", meaning you can get it, but your insurance won't pay for it because use in females is not an FDA approved use. It just goes to show you that "women's issues" are not as high a priority as "men's issues". I'm sure Viagra didn't get rejected because of the company couldn't "rule out possible long-term effects", I'm sure the MEN at the FDA were dancing in the halls.

Back when he was governor, Michael Dukakis proclaimed her the official witch as a way of honoring her for her community service work. The Wiccans are so proud: While this certainly was a compliment to Laurie Cabot, it was and is today a symbol of hope for all Witches who do good works on behalf of their community and nation. Equally as important, it serves as a testament that Witches have a place in America today and are recognized as practicing a legitimate and honorable religion which shows a path of dedication for the good of all. This was the first time in history that a high standing politician openly recognized a Witch for their good works. I never knew this and I think it's great. I think every town needs an official witch or elder councle. But should they be appointed or elected???

Scientist are close to being able to change the genetic structure of an embryo. It's called "human germline genetic modification." Germline comes from the word germination, and it means the seed, or the egg, and the various processes that begin a new life. It is different from somatic genetic engineering, which seeks to alter or replace genes in a person with a disease. That alteration is not passed on to the offspring, whereas germline changes will affect all future generations of the altered embryo. While this may have wonderful applications, correcting genetic illnesses before birth, there is a great potential for problems. We have no way of telling how this modification will affect a real child until it's born and by then it's far to late to decide it was a mistake. Furthermore, we have no idea what tinkering with our genes may do to future generations. What happens when baby X has their own children. But something even more pressing to think about is the use of this to make "better" children, better looking, smarter, stronger children. It's not so hard to believe that someone would do that, to of course give their children and advantage, but at what cost. Human germline genetic modification is not banned or even regulated in the US, unlike several other nations. As a matter of fact, it's rarely even discussed outside of a lab, but this is more the debate I'd rather our country have, instead of the Stem Cell debate.
