This Courier-Journal article describes Kentucky parents telling the Blue Ribbon Panel on Adoption that the state takes their children unnecessarily and doesn’t return them in a timely manner. They also say foster homes are chosen over relatives’ homes, causing extra distress to children.

These complaints mirror comments made by parents nationwide. Groups have sprung up across America and around the world to fight CPS’s irresponsible actions. A study done in California showed that half the children removed from their parents and put in foster care should have been allowed to stay with their parents.

A cat, Mimi, nurses what its owner Cassia Aparecida de Souza claims are Mimi’s own offsprings born with dog traits last Friday, three months after mating with a neighbour’s dog, in the southern Brazilian city of Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul state, November 15, 2006. A geneticist from the Passo Fundo University plans to take blood samples from the animals to verify the claim by Cassia and her husband Rogerio that the puppies are part of Mimi’s litter of six, of which the three that were born with cat features died soon after birth, leaving the surviving three dog-like offsprings.

A ladies’ favorite known as G-Bear, rhythm-and-blues singer Gerald Levert died today at his home in Newbury, Ohio at the age of 40. Local television reports Levert had a heart attack in his sleep.

Son of Eddie Levert, lead singer of the group the O’Jays, Gerald was influenced by artists such as Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight. In high school he joined his brother Sean and friend Marc Gordon as the trio LeVert.

He also worked with Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill as the trio LSG.

My Body

In his 20’s Levert began writing and producing, receiving a grammy for writing Barry White’s #1 hit “Practice What You Preach,” and writing 14 more number one hits for other artists.

In 1999 Levert had a #1 R&B hit with “Baby Hold On to Me,” a duet he sang with his father Eddie. Father and son enjoyed working and touring together. Levert worked with many artists including Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill.

Baby Hold On To Me

With ten million albums sold, five platinum, Levert was known for writing songs that expressed his respect and appreciation for women. Ladies would swoon as he threw teddy bears into the audience during his concerts .

Never married, Levert is survived by his parents, brothers and four children.

FREE- Sliding Versus Deciding: Inertia And The Premarital Cohabitation Effect

Sliding Versus Deciding:
Inertia And The Premarital Cohabitation Effect

Abstract:

Premarital cohabitation has consistently been found to be associated with increased risk for divorce and marital distress in the United States. Two explanations for this “cohabitation effect” are discussed: selection and experience. We present an empirically based view of
how the experience of cohabitation may increase risk for relationship distress or divorce for some people beyond what is accounted for by selection. Specifically, using a commitment framework, we suggest that some couples who otherwise would not have married end up married because of the inertia of cohabitation. We discuss practice implications for relationship transitions that are characterized more by sliding than deciding, especially where a transition such as cohabitation increases inertia to remain in a relationship regardless of quality or fit.
