Civil and Human Rights Review of First Session of 112th
Congress: “One of the Least Productive on Record”
Wa s h i n g t o n , D . C . – T h e
Leadership Conference on Civil
and Human Rights recently
released vote ratings for every
member of the Congress for
the First Session of the 112th
Congress. The Voting Record,
which has been published for
every Congress since 1969,
reflects positions taken by
every
senator
and
representative on the
legislative priorities of The
Leadership Conference and its
more than 200 coalition
members.
Members of Congress were
graded on 18 House and 15
Senate votes addressing jobs,
health care, workerʼs rights,
immigration, and more.
The Leadership Conference
blamed the lack of progress on
these issues during this
session on an unprecedented
level of obstruction and
polarization. There was a
sharp drop in the number of
House members supporting
civil rights priorities on at least
90% of votes – from 217 during
the last Congress to 148 during
this Congress. The ratings are
neither an endorsement nor
condemnation of any member
of Congress.
“In historical terms, the session
was one of the least productive
on record – and one of the
least popular,” said Nancy
Zirkin, executive vice president
of The Leadership Conference.

CDC Takes New Steps to
Combat Childhood Obesity
Centers for Disease Control
announced recently new steps to
combat childhood obesity. The new
research project will focus on doctors,
communities and families to help
children make healthy choices
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) today launched a
new effort to address childhood
obesity using successful elements of
both primary care and public health.
Funding made available through the
Affordable Care Act will support a four
year Childhood Obesity
Demonstration Project. Supported by
$25 million in funding awards, the
project will build on existing
community efforts and will work to
identify effective health care and
community strategies to support
childrenʼs healthy eating and active
living and help combat childhood
obesity. The project will target children ages
2–12 years covered by the Childrenʼs
Health Insurance Program (CHIP),
which provides low cost health
insurance to over 7 million children
from working families. Rates of
childhood obesity are high overall, but
for minority and low–income
communities in particular, they are
even higher. Using innovative
approaches to reach low–income and
minority families to tackle childhood
obesity prevents the onset of many
diseases associated with childhood
obesity, including type 2 diabetes,
asthma, and heart disease. These innovative approaches include
combining changes in preventive care
at doctor visits with supportive
changes in schools, child care
centers, and community venues
such as retail food stores and
parks. Community health workers
will provide a bridge between
families and resources in their
communities in order to inform and
educate hard–to–reach, limited
English proficiency, and minority
communities about disease
prevention (including obesity),
health insurance enrollment
opportunities, and disease
m a n a g e m e n t . Overall, the
granteesʼ work will focus on
strategies that improve childrenʼs
health behaviors by involving the
children themselves, their parents
and other family members and the
communities in which they live.
“Over the last three decades,
obesity rates among children and
adolescents have nearly tripled,”
said CDC Director Thomas R.
Frieden, MD, MPH. “Obese
children are more likely to have
asthma, depression, diabetes, and
other serious and costly health
problems. This project will help
figure out ways our children can
grow up to lead long, healthy and
productive lives.”
The project grantees include three
research facilities, each of which will
receive approximately $6.2 million
over four years, to identify effective
childhood obesity prevention
strategies. The evaluation center
will receive about $4.2 million over
four years and will determine
successful strategies and share
lessons and successes.

Tangy Tangerine Product Containing 90 Nutrients Claims to
Be the Most Nutritious Product in the World
According to information provided by
Stan Brown, distributor for a
nutritional supplement called
“Beyond Tangy Tangerine,” The
product is said to contain “90
essential nutrients” that the body
needs, called the “Mighty 90.”
According to Dr. Joel Wallach,
creator of the product, “There are
over 900 diseases directly related to
mineral deficiencies.” The “Mighty
90” are 90 essential nutrients that
your body needs to heal itself.
Dr. Wallach has a background as a
veterinarian. As a vet, he was able
to use his nutritional formulas to
prevent and cure disease in animals.
He then started to create nutritional
formulas for humans.
According to U.S. Senate Document,
264, “99% of American people are
deficient in minerals, and a marked
deficiency in any one of the more
important minerals actually result in
disease.”
The product contains, “selenium” a
mineral which may reduce the risk of
heart disease and cancer.
The Tangy Tangerine complex is
made up of 60 minerals, 16 vitamins,
12 amino acids, and 2 to 3 essential
fatty acids. It also contains 115
fruits and vegetables in each
cannister. The company boasts that
this is the most nutrition ever
available in a single product in the
entire world!
For instance, the nutrition label on
the product shows Vitamin A at
1500% of the recommended daily
allowance, Vitamin B-12 at 8333%,
and 2000% for Vitamin B, and
1667% of Vitamin C. Almost every

vegetable and fruit you can think of is
in this product, including Acai and
Mangosteen. .According to Dr.
Wallach, getting minerals from plants
is the best way. “These plant derived
minerals are non-toxic, 98%
absorbable, and safe for the body,”
he said.
According to distributor, Stan Brown,
“I had ringing of the ear (tinnitis) for
over 8 years. The medical
community told me there was no
cure. After talking with Dr. Wallach
and being on the Mighty 90 and
some other products, after 60 days it
was gone.” Within the two years that
I have been with Youngevity, I have
witnessed people reverse high blood
pressure, diabetes, cancer, and
countless diseases. To learn more,

Teen Author Writes Amazing Love Story Set in
Charlotte called, “Stars in My Dreams”
Isaac E. Washington
Isaac E. Washington, a 19-year
old author wrote a book called,
“Stars in My Dreams.” The
setting of the book is in
Charlotte.
The author
describes Charlotte as an
extremely beautiful place. The
book is written in an extremely
creative manner. You get to
read into the mind of a
teenager.
This
multidimensional love story
explores teenage love and

the love relationship between a
boy, Derek and a girl named
Marina.
The book is getting rave
reviews.
“It was the best
book, I ever read!ʼ was the
comment from a local fan of
the book. The book takes
you on a mysterious journey
from the mind of a young
man and woman. It reads
from both the girlʼs
perspective as well as from
the boyʼs.
It explores each
of their concerns, fears, etc,
as they experience new love.
Isaac began writing the book
in high school when he was
17.
Isaac started showing
his stories to his family
members and they were all
amazed. “I didnʼt know he
had all that passion inside of
him,” his mother said.

Salmonella Poisoning Outbreak Linked to
Ground Beef Found in 7 States
According to information provided
by the Centers for Disease
Control, a total of 19 persons
infected with the outbreak strain of
Salmonella Typhimurium have
been reported from 7 states. The
number of ill persons identified in
each state is as follows: HI (1),
KY (1), MA (1), ME (4), NH (6),
NY (5), and VT (1).
Collaborative investigative efforts
of state, local, and federal public
health and regulatory agencies
indicated that this outbreak is
linked to eating ground beef
purchased from Hannaford
Supermarkets.
Contaminated
ground beef was recalled from
grocery stores but may still be in
consumers' homes. Consumers
should check their homes for
recalled products and not eat
them; restaurant and food service
operators should not serve them.
CDC is collaborating with public
health officials in several states
and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Food Safety and
Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS)
to investigate the multistate
outbreak of Salmonella
Typhimurium infections linked to
eating ground beef purchased
from Hannaford Supermarkets.
Representatives from Hannaford
have been cooperating with public
health officials throughout the
investigation. Public health
investigators are using DNA
" fi n g e r p r i n t s " o f S a l m o n e l l a
bacteria obtained through
diagnostic testing with pulsed-field
gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to
identify cases of illness that may
be part of this outbreak.
Investigators are using data from
PulseNet, the national subtyping
network made up of state and
local public health laboratories
and federal food regulatory
laboratories that performs
molecular surveillance of
foodborne infections. The
outbreak strain of Salmonella
Typhimurium is resistant to
several commonly prescribed
antibiotics. This antibiotic
resistance may be associated
with an increase in the risk of
hospitalization or possible
treatment failure in infected
individuals. Among persons for
whom information is available,
illnesses began on or after
October 8, 2011. Ill persons
range in age from 1 year to 79
years old, with a median age of
44 years old. Fifty-three percent
are male. Among the 15 ill
persons with available
information, 7 (47%) have been
hospitalized. No deaths have
been reported.
Nutmeg: More Than Just a Spice, Kids are
Using it to Get High Can Cause Coma, Death
If you think nutmeg is just a
spice you use to make your
candied yams, and sweet potato
pies, think again.
Teens are
using nutmeg to get high. It is a
powerful hallucinogen that
causes you to have crazy
behavior, bizarre conversation,
visual, auditory and tactile
hallucinations with nausea,
vomiting, hot/cold sensations,
blurred vision, double and triple
vision. The condition is called,
“chronic nutmeg psychosis. An
overdose can be fatal.
One
teen found to be using the
spice, has been diagnosed
with schizophrenia, because
the nutmeg causes all the
symptoms of schizophrenia
including, extreme paranoia,
irrational fears, irritability, and
many other psychotic
behaviors. It has been treated
the same as those who are
addicted to LSD.
The
symptoms recurr even when
the spice is not being used.
People used to get high on
nutmeg in the early 1900ʼs but
there has been a resurgence of
it. It may be because of the
internet and teens have access
to the internet.
Nutmeg is
relatively cheap to buy in the
supermarkets. This addiction is
real according to several studies
and hospital reports.
The nutmeg has an ingredient
called myristica fragrans.
People are being taken to the
hospital. The constant use of
nutmeg can lead to chronic
nutmeg psychosis, shock,
coma, and death.

CDC Reports African-American Women at Higher Risk for
Pregnancy and Birth Complications
African-American Women and
Their Babies at a Higher Risk for
Pregnancy and Birth
Complications
Preterm, or premature, delivery
is the most frequent cause of
infant mortality, accounting for
more than one third of all infant
deaths during the first year of
life. The infant mortality rate
among black infants is 2.4 times
higher than that of white infants,
primarily due to preterm birth. In
the United States, the risk of
preterm birth for Non-Hispanic
black women is approximately
1.5 times the rate seen in white
women.
Preterm birth is when a baby is
born before 37 complete weeks
of pregnancy. Preterm infants
who live beyond the first year
may suffer more because it is
also the leading cause of severe
neurologic disability, including
cerebral palsy and intellectual
disabilities. In addition to the
physical and emotional impact
resulting from preterm births,
recent estimates of the economic
costs to society provided by the
Institutes of Medicine suggest
that at least $26 billion is spent
each year for hospitalizations of
preterm infants. This estimation
of cost does not include the cost
of re-hospitalizations and longterm care.
“In terms of the health of women
and infants, preterm birth is an
important public health priority,”
said Dr. Eve Lackritz, Chief,
Maternal and Infant Health
Branch at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC). “Preterm delivery is the
leading cause of hospitalization
among pregnant women, is the
most frequent cause of infant
deaths, and is a major contributor
to the racial disparity in the infant
mortality rate.”
Despite continuing efforts to
understand and prevent preterm
birth, the rate has increased more
than 20 percent since 1990 and
more than 36 percent since the
early 1980s. In 2006 the preterm
birth rate rose to 12.8 percent of
all births up from 12.7 percent in
2005. This percentile equates to
more than 545,000 preterm
deliveries out of the 4,265,555
births registered in the United
States in 2006; a statistically
disproportionate
percentage of which were births to
non-Hispanic Black women.
Explanations presented for the
increase in preterm delivery are
many and include the rise in the
rate of multiple births, the
increased use of procedures to
manage labor and delivery such
as induction of labor and cesarean
delivery earlier in the pregnancy,
and changes in maternal lifestyle
and health.
For more information on healthy
pregnancy, call 1-800- CDC-INFO,
or read more about this topic on
CDCʼs website at http://
www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/bd/abc.htm
and for more information on
preterm birth go to http://
www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/
MaternalInfantH ealth/PBP .htm.
Important Steps Women Can Take
to Get Ready for a Healthy
Pregnancy:
•Take a vitamin with 400
micrograms (mcg) folic acid every
day.
•Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and
street drugs. •!Keep hands clean
by washing them often with
soap and water to prevent
infections. •! See a health
care professional regularly.
Talk
with the health care
professional about any
medical problems (such as
obesity, diabetes, seizures,
etc.) and medicine use (both
prescription and over-thecounter).
•!
Ask about avoiding any
substances at work or at home
that might be harmful to a
developing baby.
•!
Eat a healthy, balanced
diet. •! Avoid unpasteurized (raw)
milk and foods made
from it. •!
Avoid eating raw or
undercooked meat.
The Shocking True Story of a Deadly Black/Indian Alliance in
the Old West - New Novel Uncovers the Fascinating Tale
SACRAMENTO, Calif.,
PRNewswire/ -- In the summer of
1895, terror gripped the Indian
Territories (today's Oklahoma).
The youthful, multi-racial Rufus
Buck gang was on the rampage.
Their goal: to reclaim Indian
lands from US encroachment. A
new novel by Leonce Gaiter
entitled "I Dreamt I Was in
Heaven - The Rampage of the
Rufus Buck Gang" (http://
w w w. b u c k r a m p a g e . c o m )
explores the true story of the
Buck gang rampage amidst the
surprising rainbow of ethnicities
on both sides of the law, and a
young America's political
ambitions in the lawless Indian
Territory.
Harvard Magazine will feature the
book in its spring issue, and the
premier site for African-American
literature, AALBC.com, called the
novel "a page-turning delight."
Gang leader Rufus Buck was
half-black and half Creek Indian.
One African-American and three
full-blooded Creeks completed
the gang. The idea of young blacks
and Indians banding together in
1895 to expel whites from Indian
lands may seem strange, but turnof-the-century Indian Territory was
not only violent and politically
volatile, but astonishingly multiracial. "I had first read about the gang
almost twenty years ago," says
a u t h o r G a i t e r, w h o s e n o v e l
Bourbon Street was published by
Carroll & Graf and whose
n o n fi c t i o n h a s a p p e a r e d i n
publications from "The New York
Times" to "The Huffington Post."
"The story immediately grabbed
me. The novelty of a 19th century
multi-racial gang of teens and near
teens determined to reclaim Indian
lands was irresistible. They were
fighting back, but like children
would -- children who'd learned
lessons in brutality, perhaps from
those they sought to expel. You
don't hear many stories in
American history of the black and
brown victims fighting back."
Even more remarkable was the
gang's involvement with iconic
real-life western characters, like
legendary "Hanging Judge" Isaac
Parker and notorious half-black,
half-Cherokee outlaw Cherokee
Bill. "This was a multi-racial gang
of teens who innocently, foolishly
and often viciously sought to right
a wrong." In the novel, Rufus
Buck's personal story and his zeal
to reclaim Indian lands with the tool
he knows -- violence --plays
against the social and political
machinations surrounding
America's grasp for land. The
result is a rich historical tapestry, a
shocking story of violence and
innocence, love and betrayal,
butchery and grace.
Gaiter hopes that the novel will
expand African-Americans' view of
their own history. "We've fallen into
this ditch in which our history is
limited to views of us as saints and
victims. We are infinitely more than
that. The Buck Gang was a
product of its time, and they were
no saints. They are, however, a
great piece of history and a
fantastic window onto an
incredibly compelling and tragic
American era."
