UPDATE: Mom will be tried for baby's microwave death
Feb 21, 2012 at 5:55 PM

SACRAMENTO, CA - A Sacramento mother accused of burning her baby to death in a microwave will face a jury trial.

Ka Yang, 30, was arrested in the March 2011 death of 2-month-old Mirabelle Thao-Lo.

During the Tuesday hearing in Sacramento County Superior Court, Dr. Gregory...more Reiber, a forensic pathologist with the Sacramento County Coroner's Office, testified that the child's death was caused by second, third and fourth-degree thermal (burn) injuries.

Police said Yang tortured the child when she placed the infant in the microwave.  Yang was arrested three months after the investigation in her daughter's death.

"I believe, given the state of the law, that there is no evidence really to support that this killing occurred for purposes of inflicting pain," said defense attorney Linda Parisi.

"It's a difficult argument to make because all killing involves pain. When someone dies it is a painful experience regardless of how it happens. So,

Foods that help prevent dementia
Feb 21, 2012 at 10:06 AM

SACRAMENTO, CA -- Scientific research suggests that eating foods rich in antioxidants may help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's disease, the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S.

According to an article in Psychology Today, fruits and vegetables rich in color like spinach,...more blueberries, strawberries and broccoli also tend to have high amounts of antioxidants which combat free radicals in the body.

Coffee and tea also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds known as flavonoids and protect your brain against aging. People who drink five or more cups of coffee a day are 85 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.

Eating one large meal at the beginning of the day and then eating healthy snacks for the rest of the day can also reduce stress on the mind and body.

And a Child Shall Lead Them to the Promised Turtle
Feb 21, 2012 at 10:04 AM

 

Momservation: A vast majority of childhood is spent trying to convince your parents to let you get/keep some sort of creature for a pet.

I thought I had avoided becoming a turtle mom.

I am already a dog mom. I have been a hamster mom...more once (the second time I refused custody). I’ve also been a fish mom – the least rewarding of all my reluctant guardianships (sorry fish pet owners – swimming to the top of a bowl expectantly at feeding time is NOT showing personality).

When I had kids I wished someone had warned me that they come with strings attached – mainly, becoming a de facto caretaker of a menagerie of animals that they just couldn’t live without...
