LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - An Ethiopian immigrant was convicted Wednesday of the genital mutilation of his 2-year-old daughter and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in what was believed to be the first such criminal case in the United States.

Khalid Adem, 30, was found guilty of aggravated battery and cruelty to children. Prosecutors said he used scissors to remove his daughter's clitoris in his family's Atlanta-area apartment in 2001. The child's mother, Fortunate Adem, said she did not discover it until more than a year later.

Naturopaths Recommend Organic Food for Detoxification of Cancer Cells

NEW DELHI: Many people are falling prey to cancer due to increased stress and strain induced lifestyle, and unhealthy eating habits, according to a study by National Academy of Naturopathy.

"The food taken in does not provide live atoms to the body cells. The cells are starved from nutrition and clogged with toxins called cellular constipation leading to mal-absorption and diseases. This in turn brings down immunity which invites host of illness and suffering," says Dr Hemalatha Murthy of the National Academy of Naturopathy.

"The right approach to treat is to adopt naturopathic principles, which emphasise on detoxification, reliving cellular constipation by providing live (organic) food. The live food has enzymes which act as catalyst for detoxification and absorption of nutrients," she adds.

Animal ID plan angers some farmers

Animal ID plan angers some farmers
System aims to track livestock during outbreak

By Mimi Hall
USA TODAY

SWOOPE, Va. รข€” A thousand turkeys, 500 cattle, 300 pigs, 1,900 chickens and
four generations of the Salatin family share the grassland on this 550-acre
farm in the Shenandoah Mountains.

Now, Joel Salatin is worried the government will make it impossible for his
25-year-old son and his two young grandsons to keep the family business
going for the generations to come.

He has joined a growing national grass-roots movement against an ambitious
new government disease-fighting program that asks every farm in the nation
to register its animals. The aim of the program, called the National Animal
Identification System (NAIS), is to make it easier to track down animals
during a disease outbreak that threatens humans and livestock.
