New estimates indicate that human trafficking will be the number one crime in the world by 2010. Currently, approximately 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders, about 50 percent of which are under the age of 17. Scientists at the University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC) have recently received a $500,000 grant from The Life Technologies Foundation for use in development of the DNA-PROKIDS Project (Program for Kids Identification with DNA Systems). This program will be designed to deter international human trafficking through the use of DNA testing, which will help to reunite abducted and homeless children with their biological parents/families. Through PROKIDS, children who are located and found to be associated with any human trafficking activity, i.e. illegal adoptions, living on the street, prostitution, will be DNA sampled. These childrens' DNA profiles will be entered into an international, searchable DNA database, where they can potentially be matched to parents/family members of missing children who have previously submitted their DNA to the program. UNTHSC is working in collaboration with the University of Granada-Spain to...more

I have been thinking a lot about babies lately—my third grandchild will be here in about two to three weeks, and I can't wait! The other two grandchildren are also excited to have a little brother or sister arriving soon. Thinking about having a new little one around means schedule changes, sleepless nights, laughter, joy, and of course crying, since that is the only way a newborn can communicate that something is needed.Using essential oils to address baby's needs is something which is growing in popularity; but a word of caution—you must do your research before introducing essential oils to a baby, toddler or younger child! You must first consider the reason you want to use essential oils; is it for sleep, relaxation, colic? Then you need to choose the appropriate oil to match the need. Perhaps most importantly you need to use the proper dosage. While researching many sources for this article I have found a wealth of information available. Some of it is conflicting, such as what oils are safe for use with an infant younger than three months. If in doubt, don't use it! Quite a few sources stated that lavender is safe to use with a baby this...more
