The Funeral Rule
A funeral can be one of the most expensive and difficult purchases one may ever have to make. Having little to no knowledge of the industry, coupled with the added time pressure and emotional duress a person could easily be fooled and taken advantage of.
Hughes and Turner Funeral Home is required to comply with the "Funeral Rule", or face the possibility of federal trade commission complaints being filed.
The FTC "Funeral Rule" was enacted in 1984 and is designed to ensure that all funeral homes including Hughes and Turner Funeral Home provide consumers adequate information with regards to the products and services they are charged for, including obtaining price information on the telephone.
As part of the "Funeral Rule", Hughes and Turner Funeral Home will provide anyone who asks with a General Price List (GPL) that includes but not limited to, the expenses of funeral service items such as transportation to the cemetery near or around Oglethorpe county, and viewing or visitation services.
A general price list is available free of charge to any person who inquires in person at Hughes and Turner Funeral Home 211 Park Avenue Crawford, Georgia about funeral arrangements, regardless of their intent to purchase funeral services or not.
Included in the free General Price List made available to you by Hughes and Turner Funeral Home are casket prices. You are welcome to view a written casket price list before you see the actual caskets.
Get the casket price information before you see the actual caskets so that you can ask about lower-priced products that may not be on display.
Caskets can also be found on Amazon.com or Walmart.com. Overnight shipping is available on some caskets.
Hughes and Turner Funeral Home cannot refuse to handle a casket or urn you bought online, at a local casket store, or somewhere else — or charge you a fee to do it. Also, Hughes and Turner Funeral Home cannot require you to be there when the casket or urn is delivered to them.
Funeral Arrangements
The "Funeral Rule" is straight forward,
"You have the right to buy separate goods (such as caskets) and services (such as embalming or a memorial service). You do not have to accept any package that is offered from Hughes and Turner Funeral Home that may include items you do not want."
Funeral Directors
The loss of a loved one is a difficult time. Funeral home directors at Hughes and Turner Funeral Home understand this is a trying time for yourself, the family, and friends of the loved one who has passed. They attempt to make the grieving process a little easier by providing funeral planning and other services.
Funeral directors will be available at any time a death occurs to transport the deceased to the funeral home from the place of death. They will then perform services regarding the care of the individual as requested by the family. This will often include embalming, washing, dressing, and cosmetology.
Soon after the death, Hughes and Turner Funeral Home will arrange a meeting with the family to discuss the necessary paperwork and arrange for funeral services. Hughes and Turner Funeral Home will take care of all filing of death certificates, authorizations, and permits. In addition, all other arrangements regarding the cemetery, insurance claims, veteran's benefits, and similar inquiries will be handled by the funeral director.
Composing an obituary may be a difficult process for the family of the recently deceased. The funeral director endeavors to make this process a little easier by gathering the necessary information and preparing the obituary. The director at Hughes and Turner Funeral Home will then see to posting the obituary on WhoPassedOn, newspapers, and publications requested by the family.
In addition to these basic preparation and planning services, the Hughes and Turner Funeral Home will contact any officiates, clergy members, or other individuals and groups the family requests to participate in the services. They will also provide the necessary or requested memorial items, such as acknowledgment cards, guest book, memorial tributes, or prayer cards. The primary goal of the funeral director at Hughes and Turner Funeral Home is to take as much burden as possible off of the family so that they may appropriately grieve the loss of their loved one.

By: Jonathan Blum, CMS Acting Principal Deputy Administrator and Director, Center for Medicare
We all like to plan ahead – whether it's planning for a road trip next summer or planning a big family get-together. Despite our best planning, uncertainty is a fact of life. We always need a back-up plan. What if the car breaks down? What if it snows on the day of the get-together?
Nobody likes to think of back-up plans when it comes to our health, but health can be as unpredictable as the weather. It's hard to know what you'll feel like next week, much less what health care you'll need next year. But that's exactly what you need to think about when you're shopping for health coverage during Medicare Open Enrollment – which ends on December 7.
Even when future needs can be hard to forecast, taking stock of your current situation can help. Review your prescription drug needs, and look for a plan that meets those needs. Plans may vary in what drugs they cover, and some may have special rules that you must follow before they cover a drug.
You may have other health insurance from a current or past job, or through a family member. If you do, you'll want to understand exactly how that other coverage works with Medicare. You may decide to keep what you have now – and that's ok.
It's worth your time to take a look and compare coverage. Use the Medicare Plan Finder to look at all of the health and drug plan options in your area. If you still need help comparing, call 1‑800‑MEDICARE (1‑800‑633‑4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
While you can't predict everything in life, you can do your best to be prepared. Medicare will be there, stronger than ever, to help.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
"... He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream." Jeremiah 17: 8
Trees confer much symbolism in the Bible. From the "tree of knowledge" to the "tree of life", from cedar to fig tree - trees are mentioned from the third day of the story of creation.
Israel Today has established a forest on the slopes of the Carmel Mountains, close to kibbutz Ein HaShofet. Plant a tree and help green the land of Israel!
Actively contribute to planting not only a seedling, but hope in Israel, "As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." Genesis 8:22

Today CCS threw a demo of epic proportions here in Huntington Beach, California on the Damn Am HB course at the US Open Of Surfing. Tons of skaters from Nike and Converse got together on the course and ripped it up for cold, hard cash. That's right, the SPoT judges and announcers had a trick list where $500 would be awarded to the first skater to land one of the really difficult tricks they had on their list. They were also giving out 50s and 100s for any good trick the skaters wanted to do, too. Check out the gallery, video coming soon—brought to you by Matador.

Spyware and virus infections are two of the most common causes of serious crimes like identity theft and credit card fraud. Protect yourself better by understanding common online dangers.
Identity Theft
If your credit rating or financial information changes unexpectedly, it may be because of malware installed on your PC without your knowledge. Identity thieves can ruin your credit rating and the standing of other personal information by stealing your passwords, account numbers, and Social Security numbers online. This could be avoided with the right internet protection services. Learn how many types of identity theft can be prevented.
Online Fraud
Many online predators rely on deceiving you in order to complete their crimes. Those committing online fraud are getting much more sophisticated in impersonating legitimate businesses in order to get your information.
Credit Card Fraud
Half of all credit card fraud is conducted online, making it one of the most common internet dangers. Fraudsters routinely steal account numbers and passwords while you conduct your normal online computing. If your credit card is mysteriously charged your PC may be infected with malware. Learn more about credit card fraud and find out how to avoid this online danger.
File Loss and Data Corruption
Many things can cause accidental file loss, from computer viruses to hard drive crashes. Computer Industry Almanac estimates that 700 million PCs are in use around the world, and up to 10 percent of them crash every day.

Thoreau and Urbanature: a Final Thought
Submitted by AshtonNichols on
"Wildness" much more than "wilderness" was the key concept sought by America's greatest Romantic "nature" writer. His goal was psychological as much as it was ecological. Seen in this light, the activity of the human mind always has powerful consequences in our treatment of the nonhuman world. Thoreau's life in nature, like yours or mine, is entirely a function of the actions and reactions of his mind. What he chooses to describe has more to do with his own thinking and the desires of his heart than with any objective state of affairs in the external world. He does not want us to go live in the wilderness so much as he wants each of us to wild our own minds, to turn away from society toward the wildness that is within us. The result of such wilding will be a closer link between the human and the nonhuman worlds.
Charles D. G. Roberts, the famous Victorian Canadian man of letters, says that Thoreau went through "Nature" to reach his goal. The goal was not nature itself, but rather freedom. Robert Louis Stevenson, as Roberts also notes, said that the cabin on Walden Pond was "a station on man's underground railway from slavery to freedom." The freedom that Thoreau sought at Walden was freedom of thought but also of action. This idea of freedom emerged from his abolitionist childhood, perhaps, but expanded as an adult far beyond the pressing need to free American slaves from their bondage. Thoreau's mind sought to free human beings all over the world from political restrictions of every kind and also from enslavement to narrow-minded ways of thinking.
He resented organized religions of all kinds because each religion told a distinct group of human beings that one way of understanding the cosmos was the only right way. Once Thoreau had read the Bhagavad-Gita and the Vedas, which he got from Emerson's library, it became hard for him ever again to see Judaic or Christian scripture as the only source of divine wisdom. He resented the rampant religion of materialism that he saw around himself in Concord and Boston, because of the way it imprisoned its practitioners and devotees rather than liberating them. The townspeople around him carried their possessions on their backs like burdens they could not lay down. Thoreau's response was explicit: "Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. Money is not required to buy one necessary of the soul."
Thoreau's battle cry for this liberating kind of freedom, his anti-materialism, and his sense of a surging energy at the center of the nonhuman world, all contributed to a sensibility that has resonated throughout America, and beyond, over the past two centuries. Even today his widespread influence continues. He is quoted by politicians and songwriters. His wisdom appears from state houses and college classes to t-shirts and bumper stickers. In his naturalistic individualism, in his devotion to history and to classical texts, in his belief in nonviolent resistance to unjust laws, Thoreau put into play central tenets of Ralph Waldo Emerson's thinking-and of a wider American Transcendentalism-in ways that continue to shape our politics, populism, and popular culture. At the same time, his effect on the tradition of nature writing and the wider environmental movement has been incalculable. He is a nineteenth-century thinker for the twenty-first century. He is a secular high-priest for our time, perhaps for all time.
I would like to end my ecocritical blog-posts by recalling that a locomotive ran along the edge of Walden Pond every day that Thoreau lived there between 1845 and 1847. Thoreau could hear the wheels against steel rails. He could smell the smoke from the coal-fired smokestack. He walked into town along its right-of-way. The freight car workers often nodded to him like old friends. The locomotive's whistle was, to Thoreau, like the "scream of a hawk." The steam emerging from the engine's smokestack was like a "downy cloud [. . .] high in the heavens." Thoreau does not even mind the commerce that is associated with this rumbling rail line. He only complains about the human tendency to substitute the value of these transported goods for the human values that these goods are meant to serve: relieving hunger, clothing the needy, warming the cold. Here, in the metaphoric center of American nature writing, with a rail line running through pristine wilderness, we once again find an interpenetration of natural and urban, of wild and human. For Thoreau, our nonhuman, natural house is the same place as our fully human, cultural home: urbanature.

The human mouth is a complex biological system, and no two individuals have the same oral care needs. Here are some of the more common dentists people seek out to improve their oral health:
General Dentist
These dentists generally serve as the primary provider of dental care. If you need your teeth cleaned, crowns and bridges placed or any number of cosmetic procedures, book an appointment with a general dentist. Though not as common, these dentists will also provide more specialized services, including some forms of oral surgery - chief among them root canals and restorative care - fitting patients with a mouthguard and counseling people on how to stop smoking and what constitutes proper nutrition.
To become an endodontist means undergoing an additional two years of training beyond dental school. As a result, these specialized dentists perform more specific procedures beyond general teeth cleaning and repair work. While a dentist may perform a handful of root canal treatments in a week, an endodontist may end up working on 20 or more in the same timespan. Your average endodontist also repairs teeth damaged by trauma and performs endodontic retreatments, which is repeat root canal procedure. Their added training also means that the endodontist is much more adept at utilizing complex dental equipment - especially ultrasonic instruments or microscopes. Most of that equipment is used to improve the health of teeth that are affected by disease and even congenital deformities.
Pediatric Dentist
Proper oral care starts when you're young, and that's why pediatric dentists are so important. These dentists treat people under the age of 13, though there are exceptions based on a child's unique dental background. Pediatric dentists face unique challenges, because they must treat newly teething babies and children losing their primary teeth.
Though cleanings are an integral part of their job, pediatric dentists are mostly concerned with planning ahead. That means working to ensure the child has straight teeth and correcting an improper bite. However, they also help address more child-specific conditions of thumb sucking and an over-reliance on pacifiers. As a result, pediatric dentists usually require an additional two-year residency working with infants and children.
Oral Pathologist
Pathology refers to the study of disease, specifically as it presents in tissue. Oral pathologists, then, are responsible for studying the diseases that affect the tissue of the mouth and other surrounding muscle groups. These experts are considered to be true specialists, having focused their work on very niche areas of both dentistry and pathology. Though oral pathology is rather specialized, it's a vital component of the oral health industry. By analyzing tissue taken from biopsies, oral pathologists can help diagnose and eventually treat a number of oral diseases, including leukoplakia, cementoma and squamous cell carcinoma, among others.
Similar to the endodontist, periodontists receive several additional years of training beyond dental school. However, whereas endodontists study advanced treatments, periodontists generally have a very specific field of interest. Your average periodontist focuses less on cleanings and more on diagnosing and treating gingivitis, periodontitis, which is an untreated form of the aforementioned ailment, and other periodontal diseases. Periodontists treat patients with more complicated oral care backgrounds, those people who require root planing - where dentists clean any infected surfaces - and root debridement, or the removal of dead tissue. Periodontists are especially concerned with proper gum health, including painful recession and teeth alignment.
Cosmetic Dentist
Most of the aforementioned dentists are concerned with the health and well-being of a patient's teeth. While that is important to cosmetic dentists, they specialize in a number of different treatments meant to enhance the look or aesthetic of your teeth. To begin the average appointment, cosmetic dentists will examine your teeth for any imperfections or irregularities, and then suggest ways to make your teeth more white or properly aligned. The most popular such treatments are bleaching - where special chemicals are used to whiten your teeth - placing veneers or caps to alter the appearance of teeth, and bonding, where dentists fill unappealing gaps with structural replacement material.
Orthodontists are responsible for treating most dental irregularities, which includes everything from misaligned jaws - like an under or overbite - to overcrowding teeth and even certain cosmetic issues. Following dental school, the would-be orthodontist then has another three years of schooling, most of which is clinical experience in an orthodontic residency program. To properly diagnose and treat most dentofacial issues, the orthodontist relies on a collection of corrective gear. That includes braces, retainers and various facemask configurations. Though orthodontists work with people of all ages, the bulk of patients are young children and teens.
Similar to the field of orthodontics, the average prosthodontist receives an additional three years of training following dental school. And though prosthodontics is something of a cosmetic field like orthodontics, it's primarily concerned with replacing missing teeth. Prosthodontists have a number of teeth-replacing procedures to implement, including filling veneers, onlays and inlays, bridges, crowns and complete or partial dentures. Beyond their work in implant dentistry, these experts treat a number of other mouth-related ailments, namely snoring, post-cancer jaw reconstruction, traumatic injuries and pain related to lock jaw and other temporomandibular joint disorders.
Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist
Similar to endodontists, these specialists - one of nine such unique fields recognized by the American Dental Association - utilize machinery to treat and diagnose patients. Specifically, these dentists make use of radiographic imaging to treat those diseases and ailments that impact the teeth, mouth and the maxillofacial region, which consists of the face and jaw. While X-rays are a popular option, OMRs also rely on plain and computed tomography, MRIs, ultrasounds and other forms of digital imaging. OMRs are among the first adaptors of new technology, using innovations in the field of imaging to find increasingly effective ways at understanding the impact of oral disease and what that means to patients.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Your primary dentist may refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon if you experience facial pain, or if he or she suspects you have some variety of oral cancer. OMSs are also your primary source when planning most oral surgeries, like tooth extractions, cyst repairs and removals, and dental implants. However, an OMS can also treat a number of other ailments and diseases related to the maxillofacial region. For instance, malformations in your facial bones can cause sleep apnea, and an OMS can perform corrective surgery that removes or shapes bone. Many of these experts are also involved with more cosmetic procedures, performing or assisting with facial implants and rhinoplasty, in which the nose bone is modified.
Dental Public Health Clinics
These clinics are available in most cities across the U.S., and they're meant to offer affordable health care to many low-income families and individuals. Though it differs depending on the specific clinic, the average clinic offers only the most essential oral care services, including X-rays, teeth cleaning, basic root canals and repairs, and tooth extractions. The fees an individual pays depend on a number of different factors, and most clinics have a sliding-fee that is determined equally by income and family size.
There are several different kinds of dentists, each one with his or her own specialty. However, there are a core group of ailments all dentists treat. Conditions include:
Tooth Decay: When your teeth fall out or begin to disintegrate in your mouth, improper brushing is often to blame. Certain infections also cause tooth loss or decay. One of the most affective ways to prevent tooth decay is with regular brushing and flossing right at home.
Bad Breath: As your teeth fall out or you don't brush properly, your gums and teeth begin to break down and cause foul odors. Other causes of bad breath include gum disease and oral infections. As with tooth decay, brushing and flossing are vital, as is regular tongue scraping and the use of mouthwash.
Teeth Sensitivity: Some people are born with teeth that are naturally sensitive to cold. A lack of brushing can also comprise your teeth's natural protection. The best method to help protect otherwise sensitive teeth is to use specialized toothpaste geared toward people with worn or damaged teeth.
Dry Mouth: Certain medications will cause your salivary glands to stop producing spit. This in turn can harm the structure of your teeth and gums. There are several at-home measures you can take to combat dry mouth. These include regular hydration, chewing sugar-free gum, which also hydrates your mouth, and avoiding mouthwash with alcohol in it, which dries out your entire mouth.
Teeth Grinding: For many people, grinding their teeth - also known as bruxism - is a subconscious behavior, usually the result of stress. It can eventually damage your teeth. The only way to treat your grinding habit is to meet with an endodontist, who will fit you with with a bite plate to mitigate the damage to your teeth.
Mouth Sores: Also called canker sores, these painful bumps are the result of irritation to the soft tissue of your mouth. These sores can make brushing almost impossible. There are a number of different causes for sores, including anemia or a vitamin B-12 deficiency. As a result, your primary physician will have to examine the bump, find its root cause and then help develop a specific treatment plan, including the use of corticosteroids to reduce inflammation or antimicrobial mouthwash.
Discoloration: Yellow teeth are the result of a number of bad habits, mainly smoking, drinking too much coffee and improper nutrition. Proper brushing can usually prevent discolored teeth before they happen. However, if your teeth become worse, many dentists will treat with a whitening procedure.
Proper oral care begins at home. The following are a few preventative measures you can take to keep your teeth and gums healthy. They just may reduce your time spent in your dentist's chair.
Remember Your Angles
When brushing your teeth, always place the brush at a 45-degree angle. That way, you're able to hit every surface of each tooth.
Don't Forget the Tongue
Within your mouth, your tongue is the largest source of bacteria. Be sure to brush it front to back and don't forget the sides.
Floss Everyday
Brushing alone isn't enough to keep your mouth healthy, and that's why flossing is so important. Each time you floss, be sure to have at least 18 inches of floss available, which is what you should go through if you use proper technique. For optimal control, hold the floss between your thumbs and forefingers.
Watch What You Eat
Sugar, alcohol and coffee all contain phosphorus. While some can prove beneficial, too much of this chemical can eat away at your teeth and gums.
Keep in Mind the Mouthwash
Though not a requirement, mouthwash can be helpful if used to supplement proper brushing and flossing. Most mouthwash brands contain chlorine dioxide, a chemical that targets the majority of oral bacterial strains. However, don't overuse mouthwash, as it can cause a number of ailments.
Proper oral care is an integral component of your greater well-being, which highlights why having the right dentist is of the utmost importance. Consider the following as you make an effort to find a dentist who will fit your unique medical history:
Find a Recommendation
It's important to use a dentist whom you feel comfortable with. Because that's difficult to achieve by simply choosing names out of a phone book, you should always seek out a recommendation. Whether it's a friend, family member or co-worker, this individual can offer intimate details about a dentist's demeanor, operating style and approach to patient care. Be sure to always ask plenty of questions.
Vet Your Dentist
Once you get a recommendation from a friend, don't simply book your first cleaning right away. Instead, meet with any prospective dentists to conduct a series of pretreatment interview. During this session, you can ask them about what treatments they perform most often, procedures they're not as familiar with, what accreditation they have or any organizations they belong to and how their offices handles insurance and payments. Just be aware that booking this time can be difficult based on a dentist's schedule.
Consider Accessibility and Other Factors
Perhaps you've met a dentist with whom you feel comfortable. Not only that, but this dentist's payment options are suitable for your finances. However, don't be so quick to make a final decision, as other factors may influence your choice. Is the dentist's office nearby, or do you have to drive out of your way? Is the office open at a time that will fit the rest of your schedule? How much flexibility will the dentist's staff offer in booking appointments? Though seemingly trivial, these factors are nonetheless important.
Check With Your State Board
One of the last things you should do before coming to a decision is to check with your state's dental board. Dentists must abide by different rules and regulations depending on where they practice, and the state board can outline what requirements your candidate must meet. These organizations can also offer information about any discrepancies in the dentist's background and if he or she has faced any disciplinary actions.
As with other forms of health care, insurance is a great way to both reduce associated costs and ensure you and your dependents receive the best care possible. However, you don't want to simply buy the first such plan you see. Here are some factors to consider when shopping for dental insurance:
Pick Your Plan
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all dental insurance plan. Instead, most people purchase three main varieties, usually through their employers. An indemnity or fee-for-service plan is just as it sounds and means you'll have to pay for annual deductibles and co-insurance payments out of pocket. A preferred provider organization is less costly, and you choose from a network of dentists. However, PPOs have some limitations and accompanying deductibles. Similarly, a dental health maintenance organization plan limits you to just a few choices of dentists, and one doctor handles all of your oral care needs. However, these HMO are usually much less costly.
Examine the Networks
As noted, PPO plans and dental HMOs work with only a select number of doctors. While that usually means fewer costs compared to other insurance plans or payment options, it also means you don't have quite as much say in the dentist who can treat you. That doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, especially if you know who is in the network. Before purchasing the plan, you'll receive a list of dentists in each network. Do research on each doctor - just as you would when picking a dentist otherwise. From there, you can then pick a plan with doctors who meet your standards and requirements.
Consider Your Coverage
Sometimes, it's not just the doctor that you want to consider. For many people, even the plans with the best doctors are deemed a bad choice. The reason? The coverage is less-than-stellar. When picking a plan, you need to look at just how much you'll pay for each and every service. For instance, some plans won't cover your fillings or X-rays, while others may charge more or less for a crown or tooth extraction. Knowing just what you'll be responsible for is important, as you don't want to be caught off-guard by unforeseen charges. Depending on your employer, a human resources specialist can walk you through specific coverage options.
Make Your Plan Work for You
It's a sad fact that the dentist you want most might not be covered by the plan you've purchased. However, that doesn't mean that you have to look for dental services elsewhere. If you're truly comfortable with a dentist and you feel he or she can be an ally in your ongoing oral care regimen, then consider signing a plan to just keep that dentist available. That means potentially deal with costs and other insurance-related factors that you might have wanted to. If need be, you might be able to work with the dentist's office to address some of the plan-specific concerns.

Eden selected dried black soybeans, U.S.A. family organically grown in mineral rich, vital soil. The best edible soybean. A medium large, round, versatile bean with mild sweet flavor and creamy texture. The "Crown Prince" bean in Japan. Their name 'kuro-mame' means hardworking and stands for 'bodily strength and health'. They are ideal for salads, salsa, casseroles, with pasta, in soups, dips and highly nutritious when cooked with brown rice. Rich in healthy fiber, soy protein, and iron, and provides calcium and natural soy isoflavone nutrients. Antioxidant carotenoids give them their deep color. pareve
* See Detailed Description for qualified FDA health claims.
Eden Black Soybeans Glycine max are organically grown on USA family farms committed to a clean environment and the most nutritious, life encouraging food. A black, medium large, round and versatile bean with a high protein content, soybeans are known as 'the meat of the field.' Black soybeans are said to be easier to digest than yellow soybeans, and are tastier with their delicious sweet flavor not found in other soy
In the 1970's Eden's president traveled to China and purchased a shipment of these delicious, naturally sweet black soybeans. These beans were used as seed and initiated the commercial cultivation of black soybeans in North America.
Eden Organic Black Soybeans Beans are most delicious and nourishing because they're grown in living soil, free of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers for decades. Because of the vital, rich soil that produced them, they have a much higher mineral content and stronger skins that hold fast their vibrant colors when cooked.
Beans are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in many cereal grains, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of beans in combination with whole grain is a good step toward healthy living.
Eden Black Soybeans have all of the nutrition and more of yellow soybeans including the natural isoflavone nutrients genistein, daidzein and glycetein. Soybeans are unique among beans because they provide naturally occurring healthy unsaturated vegetable fat.
Eden Organic Black Soybeans are heart healthy. According to the FDA, "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease," "Diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and that are low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke," "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." One serving of Eden Organic Black Soybeans provides 11 grams of soy protein, an excellent source. Eden Organic Black Soybeans are low in saturated fat, cholesterol free, and very low sodium.
Studies show beans contain antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of beneficial compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Use Eden Black Soybeans as you would any other bean, long boiled or pressure cooked in soups, stews, side dishes with vegetables, casseroles, salads, dips or combined with whole grains. In Japan, black soybeans are often seasoned at the end of cooking with a little shoyu soy sauce and grain sweetener such as barley malt or pure maple syrup. After seasoning the beans a slowly simmered until very little cooking liquid remains. This deliciously sweet dish is always served on New Years Day in Japan, bringing good fortune for the coming new year.
To prepare black soybeans, first wash the beans. Then either soak them for 6 to 8 hours or overnight and discard the soaking water, or dry roast them in a heavy skillet until the skin of the beans becomes very tight and slightly split open (do not over roast, it produces a bitter flavor). Boil for two and a half to three hours.

(405) 264-5000 June 17,20 II Issue 8 Brain Scans in the Courtroom Neuroscientist have been using brain scans to learn how to read minds. This research is increasing our basic understanding of the human brain and offering hope for medical breakthroughs. Commercial firms, however, are beginning to apply this research to lie detection, selling their services. For nearly 10 years, neuroscientist have been publish-ing articles about detecting lies with magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRI). The trouble is that these studies have taken place in the artificial environment of the lab using people who knew they were taking part in an experiment and were following instructions to lie. None of the studies examined lie detection in real-world situations. No government agency has found that this method works; no independent bodies have tested the approach. Yet people are buying into lie-detection reports and trying to introduce them into the courtroom. In a federal district court in Tennessee, the defendant in a Medicare fraud case wanted to introduce the MRI lie-detection report into evidence to prove that he had not intended to commit fraud. Ultimately, the judge decided that the evidence should not be admit-ted. He found, correctly, that the accuracy of the method was unknown in real-world settings, that there were no standards for how the method should be applied, and that the scientific community did not generally accept this application of the technology. In New York, a plaintiff in state civil court wanted to introduce an MRI report to show that her main wit-ness was telling the truth. The judge in that case ruled that the credibility of a fact witness was solely a ques-tion for the jury; expert testimony about the wit-ness's credibility was inadmissible, whether or not it was reliable.

Page 2 Capital Commentary Brain Scans continued .... In 2009, the science made its debut in criminal proceedings in Illinois. After confessing to the murder of a nurse in 1984, already convicted murderer Brian Dugan faced the death penalty. His attorneys, realizing that they would have a hard time getting leniency, sent Dugan to get an MRI scan of his brain. The purpose, according to Dugan's attorneys, was to offer persuasive mitigating evidence that Dugan was a psychopath and could not control his killer impulses. The prosecutor, Joseph Birkett argued that allowing the scans, with the bright colors and the statistical patterns might bias the jury. Some studies, Birkett argued, have shown that neuroscientific explanations can be particularly seduc-tive to the layperson. Ultimately, the judge ruled that the jury could not see Dugan's actual brain scans, but that an expert, Kent Kiehl, could describe them and tell the jury how he interpreted them to come to the conclu-sion that Dugan was a psychopath. After Kiehl's extensive testimony on the subject, the prosecution brought in a rebuttal witness, Jonathan Brodie, a psychiatrist at New York University. He refuted the imaging on several grounds. Most importantly, timing was an issue. Dugan was scanned 26 years after he committed the crime. It was impossible to know what was going on in Dugan's mind at that time. In the end, the jury was not swayed and voted to give Dugan a death sentence. Eventually, thousands of trial judges in America may have to rule on this technology. More im-portant, millions of lives may be affected by the use of these lie-detection reports outside of the courtroom - in criminal investigations, in business deals, perhaps in the military or the intelligence community, even in love and marriage. Before this technology gets a foothold in society, we must answer, more broadly, the questions judges may confront. Most experts recommend that we ban non-research use of neuroimaging for lie detection until the method has been proved effective by rigorous, independent, scientific testing. Otherwise we risk hurting people and tarnishing the good name of neuroscience. Consequently, even if MRI scans did pass the test, when and how would we use id Would we force defendants to submit to id What about suspects, terrorist, misbehaving students, unruly passengers in airport secu-rity lines, or teenage children? Whatever standards MRI scans should be held to, as technology im-proves, neuroscientist and the legal system are under pressure to work them out.

Kansas Inmate Charged in Death of Missing JayWoman, Barbara Ann Johnson-Willard Jay - A Kansas inmate already serving time on multiple rape and sexual assault convictions has been charged in the slaying of a Jay woman who has been missing for nearly 15 years. In June, Delaware County authorities charged John Lee Weeks, 44, formerly of Gentry, Ark., with first-degree murder in the death of Barbara Ann Johnson-Willard, 29. Authorities said Weeks was able to fly under the radar undetected for so long because he wasn't from the area. Johnson said both of Johnson-Willard's parents died since her disappearance. Weeks is ex-pected to be extradited to Oklahoma in 15 to 45 days. Weeks and Johnson-Willard worked together at Simmons Poultry Processing Plant in Jay for 10 days just before the woman disappeared. Simmons personnel records indicated June 14, 1996, was the last day that both Weeks and Johnson-Willard worked at the plant, he said. The woman went missing three days later. Weeks has refused to talk to investigators. Johnson-Willard's remains have never been recovered.

Fryer stood accused of conspiring with her married lover to kill her father. Prosecutors believe that Fryer persuaded her boyfriend, Jerry Chiles Jr., 22, to stab to death Lewis Fryer, 50, in his home in Guthrie. Fryer's attorneys contend "Ms. Fryer was as big a victim as any in this case, she was taken advantage of by Jerry Chiles."

"He states that he was feeling that he was the devil and that his son. Tommy. was the son of the devil and that being the son of the devil is the worst evil there is and he had to release his son from that evil." a University of Oklaho-ma psychiatrist. David H. Tiller. reported. The psychiatrist prepared a report for Wolfs attorney. Mack Martin. A Texas psychologist. Robert D. Morgan. examined Wolf for prosecutors. Both experts agreed he did not know at the time of the stabbing that his actions were wrong. Both said he has experienced remorse and grief after he real-ized what he had done. Mustang Man Convicted of Murder Despite Insanity Claim Oklahoma City - An Oklahoma County jury has convicted a Mustang man of first-degree murder in the shooting death of his father in Oklahoma City. A jury found 20-year-old Morgan Cline guilty and recommended a life in prison term.

Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals Note: Pursuant to Title 22, Chapter/B, Rules of the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Rule 3.5(C) (3), "an unpublished opinion is not binding" on the Court Parties may cite and bring to the Court's attention an unpublished opinion of the Court provided counsel states that "no published case would serve as well the purpose for which counsel cites it." and provided further that counsel shall provide opposing counsel and the Court with a copy of the unpublished opinion. Bills v. State, F-2009-404, Decided May 4, 20 I I - Unpublished Appellant Kassie Lakei Bills was tried by jury in the District Court of Oklahoma County. She was found guilty of First Degree Murder and sentenced to LifeWithout Parole. Issue: Appellant raises several propositions of error, the court finds reversible error in proposition I, rendering all other propositions denied as moot. In proposition I, Appellant argues that the trial court exceeded its appropriate role in instructing the jury during voir dire. Holding: In this instance, while the trial court judge incorporated material from the uniform in-structions into the voir dire proceeding, he also included his own additional commentary on the de-liberation process. Based on his comments, it appears that the trial judge was trying to instruct the jury on how to avoid deadlock. These comments were similar to an Allen charge, or deadlocked jury instruction (No. 10-1 I OUJI-CR(2d», which is given only after jurors start their deliberations. The trial court's admonition to jurors not to be "hard headed" and to reel in fellow jurors who might wander or stray because "we don't want to be here all day, all week, all month, all year" is obviously a preemptive attempt to head off a deadlocked jury.... Therefore, that the trial court's voir dire comments urged jurors to reach a verdict quickly and urged majority jurors to reel in indi-vidual "hard-headed jurors whose views were impeding a decision, was a misstatement of the law that was an inherently coercive intrusion into the jury's deliberative process. This was plain error '. Reversed and Remanded for New Trial. IPlain errors are violations of legal rules clear from the appellate record that go to the foundation of the case or take from the defendant a right essential to his defense . ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Wise v. State, F-2009-1 I 10, Decided May 4,20 I I - Unpublished Appellant Twila Renae Wise was tried by jury in the District Court of Lincoln County. She was found guilty of First Degree Felony Murder and sentenced to Life Imprisonment. Issue: Appellant raises several propositions of error, the court finds reversible error in proposition V I I I. In proposition VIII, Appellant argues that she was denied her Sixth Amendment right to effective counsel. Specifically, that Appellant's counsel was ineffective for failing to ade-quately cross-examine accomplices on critical issues relating to their credibility. Continued on next a e Page 8 Capital Commentary Wise v. State, F-2009-11 10, Decided May 4,20 II Continued from p.7 Appellant argues that her counsel failed to utilize information that accomplices were only charged with burglary for their involvement despite the fact that, as the prosecution argued, each of these women was guilty of First Degree Murder as the Appellant. Holding: Defense counsel's failure to elicit this information, which could have shown that these witnesses had significant motive to lie is enough to render defense counsel's performance constitu-tionally deficient. There is reasonable probability but for counsel's unprofessional error in not chal-lenging the witnesses credibility with this evidence, the result of the proceeding would have been different. Reversed and Remanded for New Trial. Coddington v. State, 0-2008-655, Decided May 13,20 I I - Published Appellant was tried by jury in the District Court of Oklahoma County. Appellant was convicted of Murder in the First Degree and sentence to Death. Appellant raised 18 propositions of error. Proposition I, Coddington claims the trial court left the bench during the presentation of a vide-otape offered in mitigation. Issue: Whether structural error occurs when a trail judge leaves the bench during trial? Holding: A trial judge's absence from the bench during the course of proceedings is a trial error, not a structural error, and subject to harmless error analysis. This claim of error may be waived, either by a defendant's express consent to the judge's absence, or by implication if a defendant fails to object. The trial court may cure error by ceasing proceedings during its absence, or by explaining the absence to jurors, being available to make relevant rulings, giving notice to all parties, and get-ting the parties' consent to any absence. Assuming without deciding that the trial court in this case may have briefly left the courtroom while the videotape was played for jurors, Coddington fails to show any prejudice. Affirmed. Davis v. United States Decided June 16, 201 1 While conducting a routine ve-hicle stop, police arrested peti-tioner Willie Davis, a passen-ger, for giving a false name. Af-ter handcuffing Davis and se-curing the scene, the police searched the vehicle and found Davis' revolver. Davis was then indicted on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm. Davis moved for suppression of the firearm, which was denied based on the Eleventh Circuit precedent New York v. Belton. While his appeal was pending, Arizona v. Gant was decided. Under Gant the Eleventh Cir-cuit held that the vehicle search at issue violated Davis' Fourth Amendment rights, but the court declined to suppress the revolver and affirmed Da-vis' conviction. Issues: Whether to apply the exclusionary rule when the po-lice conduct a search in compli-ance with binding precedent that is later overruled. And whether Gant can be applied retroactively. Holding: Searches conducted in objectively reasonable reli-ance on binding appellate prec-edent are not subject to the exclusionary rule. And Gant is retroactive to the legality of the search; but exclusion doesn't necessarily follow. Supreme Court Opinions Bobby v. Mitts Decided May 2, 20 II An Ohio jury convicted respondent Harry Mitts on two counts of aggravated murder and two counts of attempted murder. He was sentenced to death. Issue: Did Ohio jury instructions regarding aggravation, given during the penalty phase of Mitt's murder trial, violate appel-lant's due process rights? Holding: The U.S. Supreme Court's logic in Beck v. Alabama, holding that the death penalty may not be imposed "when the jury was not permitted to consider a verdict of guilt of a lesser included non-capital offense, and when the evidence would have supported such a verdict." 447 U.S. 625 (1980) does not apply to penalty phase proceedings. u.s. Supreme Court Opinions http://www.supremecourt.gov/ J.D.B. v. North Carolina Decided June 16, 201 1 J.D.B. was a 13-year-old, seventh grader who was removed from his classroom by a uniformed police officer, escorted to a closed-door conference room, and questioned by police for at least half an hour regarding two home break-ins to which he subsequently confessed. Issue: Is the age of a child subjected to police questioning rel-evant to the custody analysis of Miranda v. Arizona? Holding: Yes. A child's age properly informs Miranda's custo-dy analysis. In some circumstances, a child's age, " would have affected how a reasonable person" in the suspect's postion "would perceive his or her freedom to leave." Supreme Court Opinions Tapia v. United States Decided June /6, 20// After defendant was convicted of, inter alia, smuggling unauthorized aliens into the United States, the United States District Court for the Southern District of California imposed a 51-month term of im-prisonment reasoning that Tapia should serve that long in order to qualify for and complete the Bu-reau of Prisons' Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP). On appeal, Tapia argued that lengthening her prison term to make her eligible for RDAP violated 18 U.S.c. § 3582(a), which instructs sentenc-ing courts to "recogniz[e] that imprisonment is not an appropriate means of promoting correction and rehabilitation." Holding: Reversing the Ninth Circuit, this Court holds that Federal courts may not impose or length-en a prison term in order to promote a criminal defendant's rehabilitation. Volume I, Issue I Page I I FBI Agents Get Leeway to Push Privacy Bounds MSNBC - The Federal Bureau of Investigation in giving significant new powers to its agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or to use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention. The F.B.I. plans to issue a new edition of its manual, called the Domes-tic Investigations and Operations Guide, according to an official who has worked on the draft document and several others who have been briefed on its contents. The new rules add to several measures taken over the past decade to give agents more latitude as they search for signs of criminal and terrorist activity. Some of the most notable changes apply to the lowest category of investigations, called an "assessment." The category, created in December 2008, allows agents to look into people and or-ganizations "proactively" and without firm evidence for suspecting criminal and terrorist activity. Under current rules, agents must open such an inquiry before they can search for information about a person in a commercial or law enforcement database. Under the new rules, agents will be allowed to search such databases without making a record about their decision. The new rules will also relax a restriction on administering lie-detector tests and searching people's trash. Under the current rules, agents cannot use such techniques until they open a "preliminary investigation," which - unlike an assessment - requires factual basis for suspecting someone of wrongdoing. But soon agents will be allowed to use those techniques for one kind of assessment, too: when they are evaluating a target as a potential informant. Agents have asked for that power in part because they want the ability to use information found in a subject's trash to put pressure on that person to assist the government in the investigation of others.

The order comes after Demarcus Sears, sentenced to death in Georgia 18 years ago, won a new trial after the U.S. Supreme Court found that his attorneys failed to document brain damage Sears suffered as a child. Medical and Sheriffs sources say the test and security come to about $5,000 per exam. Experts say, in the end, the cost of the tests are probably far less that the cost of a whole new sentencing phase or trial. Georgia: Court Upholds Strict Execution Standard The Georgia Supreme Court has upheld a strict require-ment capital defendants must meet to prove they are mentally disabled, and thus avoid the death penalty. The court's 6-1 ruling concluded that death penalty defend-ants must prove that they are mentally disabled "beyond a reasonable doubt," the highest burden of proof in the legal system. "We have previously addressed this very issue, and we now reiterate our prior holding that Geor-gia's beyond a reasonable doubt standard is not uncon-stitutional," read the opinion, written by Justice Harold Melton. Oklahoma standard is preponderance of the evi-dence. The ruling is the latest scrutiny of the trailblazing policy Georgia etched out in 1988, when it became the first state to ban executing mentally disabled inmates. But Georgia also stands out as the only one that requires capital defendants to meet the high standard to avoid execution. Last year, a federal three-judge panel struck down the law by a 2-1 vote, saying it could result in the execution of those with mental disabilities. The full I Ith Circuit Court of Appeals is now reviewing the ruling. Defendant's Motion; State's Amicus Brief 2011 Death Penalty Legislation ~ Utah - HB 202 • Bill to restrict death penalty appeals. Would generally bar a court from issuing a temporary stay of execution following a defendant's first post-conviction petition. The bill would also limit public funding of defense counsel after that first post-conviction has been rejected. There is an exception for new evidence that would alter the case's outcome. Bill passed and sent to Governor. ~ New Hampshire - HB 167 • A bill to expand the death pen-alty to murders committed in the course of a home invasion. Bill passed and sent to governor. ~ Oklahoma • A bill to allow executions by "drug" or "drugs" determined by the Department of Correc-tion, possibly leading to a one-drug protocol. Bill passed and sent to Governor. ~ Pennsylvania - HB 317 • Bill to expand death penalty for certain victims; and would make registration as a sex of-fender under Megan's law an aggravating factor. Passed in House. NEWS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY Oregon: Death Penalty Opponents File Lawsuit Against Trial Court Salem - Oregonians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty claim that a Marion county judge erred in allowing death row inmate, Gary Haugen to dismiss his attorneys and waive his appeals without first holding a competency hearing. Haugen's attorneys had recommended further evaluation, arguing at the time that a neuropsychologist who met with Haugen found signs of cognitive defect. The group's spokesman said that the group is acting to make sure the state meets judicial standards; it isn't acting on Haugen's behalf. Texas: Convicted Killer May Leave Death Row Due to Prosecutor Misconduct Fort Worth - Six years ago, convicted killer Chelsea Richardson became the first woman in Tar-rant County to be sentenced to death. In 2005, Richardson was convicted of capital murder in the slayings of her boyfriend's parents. Authorities said Richardson, her boyfriend, and another friend killed the couple in 2003 so that her boyfriend could inherit his parents' $1.56 million estate. The friend, who did most of the shooting and stabbing, struck a deal with prosecutors and received a life sentence in exchange for pleading guilty and testifying against the other two. The boyfriend received a life sentence. While Richardson, portrayed as the mastermind, received death. After four years of legal battles, Richardson's appellate attorney and the Tarrant County District At-torney's office agreed that the former prosecutor on her case, Mike Parrish, withheld evidence and that she should get a new sentencing hearing and a life sentence. Appellate attorneys claim that Par-rish failed to give notes by a psychologist that suggested that the friend, not Richardson, was the mastermind. This agreement marks the second time in three years that the district attorney's office has agreed to change the outcome of a death penalty case handled by ex-prosecutor Parrish. In both cases, Parrish, who retired in 2008 amid the controversy, committed prosecutorial misconduct by Withholding evi-dence that could have been useful to the defense.

(405) 264-5000 June 17,20 II Issue 8 Brain Scans in the Courtroom Neuroscientist have been using brain scans to learn how to read minds. This research is increasing our basic understanding of the human brain and offering hope for medical breakthroughs. Commercial firms, however, are beginning to apply this research to lie detection, selling their services. For nearly 10 years, neuroscientist have been publish-ing articles about detecting lies with magnetic reso-nance imaging (MRI). The trouble is that these studies have taken place in the artificial environment of the lab using people who knew they were taking part in an experiment and were following instructions to lie. None of the studies examined lie detection in real-world situations. No government agency has found that this method works; no independent bodies have tested the approach. Yet people are buying into lie-detection reports and trying to introduce them into the courtroom. In a federal district court in Tennessee, the defendant in a Medicare fraud case wanted to introduce the MRI lie-detection report into evidence to prove that he had not intended to commit fraud. Ultimately, the judge decided that the evidence should not be admit-ted. He found, correctly, that the accuracy of the method was unknown in real-world settings, that there were no standards for how the method should be applied, and that the scientific community did not generally accept this application of the technology. In New York, a plaintiff in state civil court wanted to introduce an MRI report to show that her main wit-ness was telling the truth. The judge in that case ruled that the credibility of a fact witness was solely a ques-tion for the jury; expert testimony about the wit-ness's credibility was inadmissible, whether or not it was reliable.
