    THE SUPREME COURT ALLOWS ANIMAL CRUELTY VIDEOS
    April 20, 2010 - United States

    The Supreme Court has ruled that a law which makes it illegal to sell videos of animals being tortured violates the right to free speech. Chief Justice John Roberts said that the law was too broad and invalid to be used under the First Amendment. The ruling is a victory for Robert Stevens, who was sentenced in 2005 to three years for making and selling videos of dog fights. The 1999 law that was used to convict him was intended to prevent depictions of animal cruelty. It was adopted by Congress and originally aimed at limiting internet sales of "crush" videos which show women crushing small animals with high-heeled shoes. Stevens has argued that the videos were intended to educate people about the pit bull breed and that he was not trying to promote illegal dog-fighting.

    "NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW"
    April 20, 2005 - United States

    President George W. Bush signed the "New Bankruptcy Law" making it harder for debt-ridden people to wipe clean their financial slates by declaring bankruptcy. The Act of Congress attempts to make it more difficult for consumers to discharge debt ( under which most debts are forgiven or discharged) under Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 which was the most common form of bankruptcy in the United States ). The second most popular form of Bankruptcy Chapter 13 was "reorganization", or debt adjustment. **** Personal Opinion *** It appears from reading that due to some means test associated with the new laws approximately 85% of debtors are not subject to its "means test" and a large percentage of the rest are able to "pass" the means test. And although Chapter 7 is slightly more complicated it appears it is still in wide spread use.

There are a few examples of how to lose weight naturally that are common sense. People who eat breakfast usually eat less during the day. Make it a high fiber and low fat breakfast, and you have made it more natural. Drinking water is also good for dieters, as everyone knows, but you may need more than 64 ounces (some studies seem to contradict this, but generally, more water is better).

Then there's your choice of foods. For natural weight loss, one place to start is with foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. You should eat fruits and vegetables in variety and abundance. Generally, whole grains are better than "refined" anything, but be sure to check the label for other "non-natural" additives like high-fructose corn syrup.

Other methods of losing weight naturally are not well known outside of "alternate health" circles. For example, some studies show that dieting can slow the functioning of the thyroid gland in some people. Sea vegetables such as kelp, which are rich in iodine, can correct this problem.

For those learning how to lose weight naturally, there are many herbs and supplements to help. According to the latest research, three of them “St. John's Wort, 5-HTP, and evening primrose oil“ signal the production and release of serotonin. This suppresses the appetite and lifts the mood.

Some supplements that enhance metabolism are L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Phenylalanine. Your metabolism will also be boosted by cayenne, mustard, ginger, or horseradish. The key here is natural herbs, spices and supplements, not chemically-engineered ones (read the label!).

Speaking of supplements, there are several that, according to some studies, can promote increased health and functioning of the liver, which plays a major role in metabolizing fat. You can help detoxify the with bee pollen and sarsaparilla, and milk thistle extract has been shown to renew liver cells.

No matter which natural weight loss program you follow, one common ingredient to be avoided is sugar. Sugar causes a rapid production of insulin that lead to fat storage. If you find yourself craving sweets, a natural alternative is the herb gymnema sylvestre, which, when placed in the mouth, reduces the taste of sugar. Chromium can also improve the way insulin works in your body and help control blood sugar.

When you're looking for ideas on how to lose weight naturally, be sure to look beyond diet. For example, how much stress are you experiencing daily? Stress triggers a release of adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream. These hormones cause your body to send all the fuel into storage. That means more fat. You can stop this process by dealing with the stress “ either by eliminating the cause(s) or finding coping strategies.

As with any weight loss program, consult with your doctor. In addition to practical guidelines to follow, he or she may be able to recommend a good nutritionist who can help you in your quest to lose weight naturally.
