Wondering rather to Foster or go Adopt only? - Adoption.com Forums

I understand the struggle. We went in looking at adoption only, but wound up fost/adopt.

The issue with listing as adoption only is, then they probably won't place with you until after the child is legally free. That's how it worked in our case, at least. We had to change our file to fost/adopt so that my dd could be placed with us as tpr was filed, but not yet granted.

This, of course, likely means a longer wait because, as an adoption only home, the child won't be placed with you as a foster. Since they try to match most kids that they foresee as becoming legally free with families that are open to adoption, many of them stay where they are, so your potential placements are lower as an adoption only home, compared to a fost/adopt home. This is especially true of younger children. If you are open to older child adoption, though, there are likely many already legally free. The same goes for sibling groups, which you mentioned being open to.

If you certify as a fost/adopt home, though, you do get to say yes or no to placements. So, you can look at the details of the case (including how likely tpr is) and decide if you want to take the chance with that particular placement. Then you could get the situation that you mentioned of the child living with you as a foster, then adopting. Since you get to choose your comfort level with the placement, you may be able to help offset the risk of the "revolving door".

(AP) ? The U.S. Navy is promising to clean up offices at the Guantanamo Bay navy base that defense lawyers say are dangerously contaminated with rat droppings and mold.

A Navy official told the judge in the Sept. 11 war crimes tribunal on Thursday that a comprehensive cleanup will be completed before the court reconvenes at the U.S. base in Cuba next month. Capt. Michael Lebowitz said occupational health experts will ensure the offices meet safety standards.

Attorneys for some of the five prisoners charged in the Sept. 11 attacks have complained their offices are so contaminated that lawyers and paralegal have repeatedly suffered respiratory ailments. Some have required medical treatment at the tropical base. The issue has repeatedly interrupted this week's pretrial hearing in the Sept. 11 case.

Tempest in a tea bottle for school district - The Orange County Register

The Newport-Mesa Unified School District will re-examine its disciplinary practices, and its hard-line policy against alcohol, after an 11-year-old student brought to school a bottle of kombucha tea containing a tiny amount of alcohol.

The boy, a seventh grader at Ensign Intermediate School in Newport Beach, originally got in hot water for having a glass bottle in his lunchbox on Tuesday, Oct. 9. School officials noticed that the label on the bottle of fermented tea said it contained less than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume. District policy states that anyone who possesses products with even trace amounts of alcohol could be subject to discipline.

Here are three of the seven flavors of Bucha-brand kombucha tea. The one on the left, guava mango, is the flavor an 11-year-old boy at a Newport Beach intermediate school drank last week, igniting a debate about natural foods and school policy.

According to a district spokeswoman, the boy was questioned by the vice principal the next day, with a school resource officer from the Newport Beach Police Department present. The boy was told that the consequences of possessing alcohol could include a referral to a program to treat youth substance abuse. The vice principal initially recommended a five-day suspension, but officials later decided against any such punishment.

"There hasn't been time to change policies at this point," district spokeswoman Laura Boss said by e-mail. "However, the discussions have begun as to how we can work to develop a more nurturing approach when dealing with issues regarding discipline that don't fit the standard 'black and white' drug and alcohol issues."

The boy was kept out of class the rest of the school day Wednesday and studied in an administrative office as school officials tried to reach his mother. The mother met with the vice principal, Mary Jo Vecchiarelli, later that day, but it didn't go well. "My meeting with her made me feel, ridiculous, confused, outraged, ridiculed and blamed," the mother wrote on her own blog, called Fresh and Free in OC.

The mother could not be reached for comment, and on her blog she refers to herself only as Leslie G. Neither she nor the district has identified her son.

Kombucha (pronounced "kom-BOO-cha") is made by combining live bacteria with yeast in sweetened tea. Some devotees of the 2,200-year-old beverage say it has a range of therapeutic benefits, from aiding in digestion and building immunity against diseases to preventing cancer and stopping baldness, although there's little modern scientific evidence to support the claims. Other fans simply like the carbonated taste and drink it as an alternative to sodas and juices.

However, ethyl alcohol is a natural by-product of the fermenting process. Any drink that has less than 0.5 percent alcohol is not classified by the federal government as an alcoholic beverage, so anyone under 21 can buy it. The alcohol content is so low it won't cause drunkenness; by comparison, a can of domestic beer is 4 percent ABV. Home brews of kombucha often produce higher concentrations of alcohol, and some companies have created 21-and-over versions whose content runs between 1 and 3 percent.

Commercially bottled kombuchas for sale to the general public are labeled as having less than 0.5 percent alcohol. But in June 2010 a problem was revealed when Whole Foods announced that several popular brands of kombucha had been voluntarily pulled from store shelves after some samples were found to have alcohol levels ranging from over 0.5 percent to 2.5 percent.

The beverage-makers that survived the withdrawal reformulated their products, and now, two years later, kombucha is gaining momentum again. GT's of Beverly Hills dominates the U.S. market, with its Enlightened Kombucha and Enlightened Synergy drinks. The brand Leslie G. packed for her son was Bucha Live Kombucha, made by B&R Liquid Adventure LLC of Torrance. The company's website states the drink has less than 0.5 percent alcohol, and the particular flavor Leslie G's son drank, Guava Mango, usually has much less ? 0.22 percent, said founder Bern Galvin.

"That's next to nothing," Galvin said.

On her blog, Leslie G said her son has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and that this had contributed to past behavioral problems at school. She said her family's healthier diet, which included kombucha, has had a positive effect on him. "He LOVES our new lifestyle. He LOVES Kombucha. He LOVES educating the other students on the detriments of processed food and sugar," she wrote.

After the unsatisfactory meeting with the vice principal, Leslie G took her story to Sarah Pope, who writes the Healthy Home Economist blog. Pope's blog post last Friday unleashed her army of readers. It has generated 19,000 Facebook "shares," and nearly 400 comments on the post alone, many of them brimming with outrage for the school administrators and their tactics. On Friday, Leslie met with Principal Gloria Duncan, who "determined no discipline was necessary despite the violation of the policy," said Boss, the district spokeswoman. The district also posted a statement on its website noting that the student had not been suspended.

Leslie wrote on her blog that Duncan was "very nice and receptive," but that she "held firm" to the zero-tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol. "It really made me look into home schooling, but I don't want to further make my son feel bad," Leslie wrote.

Boss said in an e-mail that school administrators had never encountered kombucha before, and although it technically violated policy, "unfortunately, during the routine discovery process, the incident escalated and a reasonable reaction by the school site administration got out of hand and was misunderstood."

She said kombucha itself won't be banned from campuses in the district. "However, the current district policy remains that products containing any traces of alcohol on campus may be subject to the discipline policy.

"This is an area that needs to be more closely reviewed."

Exercise Could Boost The Immune System, Study Suggests

Exercise is good for the body and brain -- and new research suggests it could boost your immune system and possibly even help it guard against cancer.

A small new study conducted by researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Rocky Mountain Cancer Rehabilitation Institute showed that a large number of the immune T cells in cancer survivors improved in their ability to fight against disease after the cancer survivors participated in an exercise class for 12 weeks.

"What we're suggesting is that with exercise, you might be getting rid of T cells that aren't helpful and making room for T cells that might be helpful," study researcher Laura Bilek, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, said in a statement.

"If exercise indeed strengthens the immune system and potentially improves cancer surveillance, it's one more thing we should educate patients about as a reason they should schedule regular activity throughout their day and make it a priority in their lives," she added in the statement.

The new research was presented at the Integrative Biology of Exercise VI meeting. Because the study has yet to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, its findings should be regarded as preliminary.

The study included 16 people who had survived cancer, all but one of whom had just finished receiving their chemotherapy treatments. Researchers took blood samples from these study participants so that they could analyze their numbers of senescent and naive T cells (senescent T cells aren't great at fighting against disease, while naive T cells are).

Then, the study participants completed a 12-week exercise program, where they did cardio, strength training and flexibility exercises. Then, at the end of the program, researchers drew more blood samples to check their T cell levels again.

Researchers found that in most of the study participants, the ratios of their T cells changed from more senescent and fewer naive T cells to fewer senescent and more naive T cells.

Earlier this year, a study in the journal CANCER suggested that exercise could help to lower the risk of breast cancer, though the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill researchers noted that the best way to lower breast cancer risk is to maintain a healthy weight.

Those researchers found that reproductive-age or postmenopausal women who reported exercising the most in the study -- between 10 and 19 hours each week -- were the ones who had the greatest decrease in breast cancer risk -- a 30 percent lower risk of the disease.

Medical marijuana advocates want drug reclassified

WASHINGTON (AP) ? A federal appeals court in Washington is considering whether marijuana should be reclassified from its current status as a dangerous drug with no accepted medical use.

Last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration rejected a petition by medical marijuana advocates to change the classification, which kept marijuana in the same category as drugs such as heroin. The DEA concluded that there wasn't a consensus opinion among experts on using marijuana for medical purposes. The petition had been filed in 2002.

A medical marijuana group, Americans for Safe Access, want the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to force the agency to hold a hearing and conduct findings based on the scientific record.

The group's lawyer, Joe Elford, said that the DEA had misapplied the law. He added there are numerous studies that show marijuana is effective as a medical treatment. The group's legal brief said marijuana could help people with chronic pain and the negative side effects of chemotherapy, among other things.

Marijuana is classified under "Schedule I" of controlled substances, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use. It's lumped in with drugs like heroin, LSD and ecstasy. Americans for Safe Access want to see it reclassified to a less restrictive schedule.

Justice Department lawyer Lena Watkins said that marijuana is properly classified.

"It's the most widely abused drug in the United States," she said.

Tuesday's hearing was packed to capacity with many medical marijuana supporters in the audience.

The judges who will decide the case are Karen LeCraft Henderson, a Republican appointee, and Harry T. Edwards and Merrick B. Garland, both Democratic appointees.

The five most promising new cancer treatments

CANCER. Of all the maladies that afflict us, it is often the most feared. And with good reason: for most of history anyone discovering its unwelcome presence faced near-certain death. Even today it is either the number one or number two killer in many countries.

It's fair to say our three main weapons against cancer are crude and brutal. We cut the tumour out, burn it with radiation, or give drugs that poison any rapidly dividing cells. All are undeniably effective, but they almost inevitably inflict collateral damage.

The latest new class of treatment to reach the clinic is targeted therapies, which act on molecular pathways active mainly in cancer cells, and therefore lack the harsh side effects of chemo. Yet despite all the fanfare about them, these drugs rarely cure anyone, because cancer cells' high mutation rate allows them to dodge the pathway concerned. Targeted therapies usually only prolong ...

Crows don't digest prions, may transport them to other locations

ScienceDaily (Oct. 17, 2012) ? Crows fed on prion-infected brains from mice can transmit these infectious agents in their feces and may play a role in the geographic spread of diseases caused by prions, such as chronic wasting disease or scrapie.

The new research published Oct. 17 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Kurt VerCauteren from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and other colleagues, shows that prions can pass through crows' digestive systems without being destroyed, and may be excreted intact after ingestion by the birds. According to the authors, their results demonstrate a potential role for the common crow in the spread of infectious diseases caused by prions.

Prions are infectious proteins that cause diseases in humans and other animals. Studies so far have suggested that insects, poultry and scavengers like crows may be passive carriers of infectious prions, but this is the first demonstration that prions can retain their ability to cause disease after passing through the avian digestive system.

The authors fed crows with brain samples from mice infected with prions, and found that the crows passed infectious prions up to 4 hours after eating the infected samples. When healthy mice were injected with the infected crow excretions, all the mice showed signs of prion disease. The authors state that their results support the possibility that crows that encounter infected carcasses or consume infected tissue may have the capacity to transport infectious prions to new locations.

(AP) ? Anibal Sanchez gave a performance against New York that the Detroit Tigers have come to expect from Justin Verlander.

The Tigers' ace is next in line for a chance to toy with the Yankees' suddenly dreadful offense.

Sanchez shut down a Yankees lineup minus the injured Derek Jeter, Detroit scored twice after a missed call by an ump and won without any extra-inning drama, beating New York 3-0 Sunday for a commanding 2-0 lead in the American League championship series.

"Sanchez showed what we know about our starters, that they're really good," Tigers outfielder Quintin Berry said. "A lot of people outside our clubhouse stop at Verlander when they talk about our starting pitching, but we just hope they all keep doing what they're doing."

Game 3 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesday night in Detroit, with Verlander, the reigning AL MVP, starting for the Tigers against Phil Hughes. Verlander went 2-0 in the division series versus Oakland, including a four-hit shutout with 11 strikeouts in the decisive Game 5.

Hitting .192 in the ALCS after putting up a paltry .216 average against Baltimore in the division series, the Yankees have a real challenge ahead.

"Obviously, he's a great pitcher," designated hitter Raul Ibanez said of Verlander. "We have to go out there and battle and compete and play the best that we can and do what we're capable of doing."

New York did little against Sanchez. He struck out seven and was never in any real trouble.

In the first inning when the Yankees put runners on first and second, he took care of it by reaching around his back to snare a grounder for the final out.

"He was terrific," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "This is a tough place to pitch with a tough lineup and a short porch. And a whole bunch of left-handed hitters, it is not easy. That was quite a feat."

New York starter Hiroki Kuroda pitched perfect ball into the sixth inning to keep pace with Sanchez. But Robinson Cano and the slumping Yankees hitters were no match for the 28-year-old right-hander a day after their captain broke his ankle in the 12th inning of a 6-4 loss.

"I try to think backwards," Sanchez said. "If the count calls for a fastball, I throw a different pitch. If the count calls for a different pitch, I throw a fastball. I try to mix my speeds."

Making his second postseason start, Sanchez threw three-hit ball deep into the game to make Leyland's job easier. Closer Jose Valverde gave up four runs in the ninth Saturday and, only hours later, Leyland said the righty wouldn't close Game 2.

Delmon Young gave Sanchez his first run of support in the playoffs with a fielder's choice in the seventh. The Tigers then scored twice in the eighth after second base umpire Jeff Nelson missed a call on a two-out tag. Yankees manager Joe Girardi argued, and was ejected on his 48th birthday.

"The hand did not get in before the tag," Nelson said after seeing a replay. "The call was incorrect."

The Tigers led 1-0 in the eighth and had Omar Infante on first with two outs. Austin Jackson singled and when Infante took a wide turn at second, right fielder Nick Swisher threw behind him.

Cano made a swipe tag as Infante dove head-first back to second. Cano missed Infante's arm but caught his body, replays clearly showed. But Nelson called Infante safe.

"I think the umpire got confused 'cause he saw my hand, something with my hand made him think I was safe," Infante said.

Was he out?

"Of course," Infante said.

Cano and Girardi argued the call to no avail. Boone Logan replaced Kuroda and gave up an RBI single to pinch hitter Avisail Garcia to make it 2-0.

"It's frustrating. I don't have a problem with Jeff's effort, I don't, because he hustled to get to the play. But in this day and age when we have instant replay available to us, it's got to change," Girardi said.

"These guys are under tremendous amounts of pressure. It is a tough call for him because the tag is underneath and it's hard for him to see. And it takes more time to argue and get upset than you get the call right. Too much is at stake," he said.

Girardi returned to lift Logan for Joba Chamberlain, and then he remained on the field to resume the argument. Red-faced with neck muscles bulging, Girardi could be seen shouting at Nelson, "You were right there. How could you miss it?" He was tossed by Nelson for his first postseason ejection.

Miguel Cabrera added a run-scoring single after the ejection.

Cano had no luck at the plate, either. The All-Star's slump extended to a record 26 hitless at-bats in a single postseason, breaking the mark of 24 set by Baltimore's Bobby Bonilla in 1996, STATS LLC said.

"I feel good at the plate," Cano said. "So, all I can do is stay positive and play good Tuesday."

There were many empty seats near the foul poles, and a subdued crowd spent much of the day venting its frustration, booing the punchless Yankees. The 47,082 in attendance reserved its biggest cheers early for Jeter, who broke his ankle in the last inning of the Game 1 loss.

"I don't know what's going on here, it seems like something is going on here," Tigers reliever Octavio Dotel said. "I mean, I don't want to wake them, I don't want them to get loud. I don't know what's going on but I like it."

The "Bleacher Creatures" included the captain in their roll call and fans let out a modest cheer pregame when Jeter was shown in video thanking fans on the scoreboard.

While the Yankees are headed to Detroit for what they hope will be three games, their captain will fly to Charlotte, N.C., to visit a foot specialist.

Jhonny Peralta singled in the sixth for the Tigers' first baserunner against Kuroda, who was pitching on short rest for the first time in his big league career. Delmon Young then gave Detroit the lead with a forceout grounder in the seventh, a night after putting the Tigers ahead in the 12th inning with a double.

Sanchez has had quite the success in the Bronx. He made his big league debut at the old Yankee Stadium when it was across the street, and pitched 5 2-3 shutout innings for Marlins in 2006. The only player to notch two hits against him in that game was Jeter.

Pitching for the first time in this 4-year-old ballpark ? and in front of his parents ? Sanchez limited the Yankees to just three hits and three walks, one an intentional pass to Ibanez.

When Ichiro Suzuki reached on Sanchez's fielding error to open the sixth and advanced to third with two outs, Peralta was there to bail out his pitcher with another nifty play, bare-handing a slow grounder for the third out.

Leyland took Valverde out of consideration for the closer role on Sunday. Valverde gave up a pair of two-run homers in the ninth inning Saturday night and also blew a save in the division series.

Former Yankees reliever Phil Coke pitched two innings for the save.

"Jose Valverde will be an important part of this club in this playoff or we are going to have a real tough time," Leyland said. "I just hope that the people back home are, like I said, not too short-minded because this guy has been fantastic, and is an important piece in the scenario, in my opinion."

Kuroda did all he could to help keep it close for the Yankees' anemic offense.

Curtis Granderson went 0 for 3 with three strikeouts and a walk and Alex Rodriguez singled in the ninth for his third hit of the postseason and finished 1 for 4. A-Rod is 0 for 18 with 12 Ks against right-handed pitchers in these playoffs. When he lined out to left field in the seventh fans gave a mock cheer.

"We've been through stretches like this all year," Rodriguez said. "It's been a very volatile stock market for us this year."

NOTES: Cabrera reached base in all 18 playoff games with Detroit, matching Hank Greenberg for the longest streak in team history.
