8 Reasons Avocado Is a Perfect Weight-Loss Food ...1) It's a bad guy bouncer 2) It's a belt shrinker 3) It's a nutrient booster 4. It's a radical fighter and more....

Avocado
Avocado was all like, "Look at me, I'm the good fat!" and Butter was like, "Show-off!" Trendy, popular and a bit of an overachiever in the health department, avocado is like the homecoming queen of the fats parade. It's actually a single-seeded berry native to Mexico, but at 322 calories and 29 grams of fat -- 10 to 20 times what you'll find in any other item in the produce aisle -- the avocado can arguably be considered more of a fat than a fruit.
Moreover, it's the mono-unsaturated fat content of an avocado -- 20 grams per berry -- that researchers say make it so special, and deserving of the health food fame. With its proven ability to lower cholesterol, quell hunger pangs and even spot-reduce belly fat, the avocado is arguably a perfect dietary staple for weight loss. Here are eight reasons why:

1. It's a bad guy bouncer.
Apples are so cliche. Researchers now say it's an avocado a day that can really keep the doctor -- and your cholesterol levels -- at bay. One study in the Journal of the American Heart 
Association put 45 overweight people on one of three different cholesterol-lowering diets for five weeks. One diet was lower in fat, providing 24 percent of total calories (11 from monounsaturated fats), and didn't include an avocado. A second, non-avocado diet was more moderate in fat, providing 34 percent of total calories (17 percent from MOFAs). The third was equally moderate in fat, at 34 percent, but included one whole Haas avocado per day. more

IN JAMAICA: Daryl Vaz Freed Police witness says he was coerced by then Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Felice to give statement... "We were cajoled, compelled, forced, coerced, and bounded. We were told to provide statements."

BY RACQUEL PORTER Observer staff reporter porterr@jamaicaobserver.com  Tuesday, February 17, 2015
DARYL Vaz walked out of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court yesterday a free man after the prosecution's main witness, Sergeant Jubert Llewellyn, told the court that he gave a statement in the Opposition MP's corruption case under duress, saying that he had never been more "stressed in my life".

He said also that he was told by then Assistant Commissioner of Police Justin Felice that he would not be allowed to leave his (Felice's) office at Oxford Road in Kingston until he gave a statement.
"We were there from 7:30 to midnight," he said, speaking of himself and Sergeant Delon Lewis.
Felice… accused of coercing

"Sergeant Lewis and myself, on arrival at the office [South Tower], met Inspector Reid, assistant commissioner of police, and Assistant Commissioner Haye," Llewellyn said. "We were cajoled, compelled, forced, coerced, and bounded. We were told to provide statements."
He added: "I have never been as stressed my entire life," he said.
Llewellyn said he thought that he had no option but to give the statement.
He told the court that, based on what he was told by then Commissioner Owen Ellington, he and Lewis were both allowed to leave and return the following morning -- April 28, 2012 -- with the statements. more

ANOTHER RACIST POLITICIAN ?

State Rep. Gene Alday  says racist comments recently attributed to him were taken out of context and supposed to be off the record.
State Rep. Gene Alday, a Republican says racist comments
State Rep. Gene Alday, a Republican, told The Clarion-Ledger he was against increased funding for education, in particular funding to improve literacy. During his explanation, Alday said he comes "from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks.' They don't work."
Alday also told the newspaper about a time he visited an emergency room. “I liked to died. I laid in there for hours because they (black people) were in there being treated for gunshots," Alday was quoted as saying. Alday didn't deny the comments attributed to him. However, he said he was not a racist.
"I am definitely not a racist, at all," Alday told Mississippi News Now. "Because, I mean, I get along with everybody. And I've spent a lot of time helping people."
Alday blamed Clarion-Ledger reporter Jerry Mitchell for quoting his remarks out of context. "The interview, he just took me out of context," Alday said. "He asked for one thing and started asking another thing." more

5 Million affected as FEDERAL JUDGE HALTS OBAMA'S IMMIGRATION ACTION : While the injunction does not pronounce Obama's actions illegal, it prevents the administration from implementing them until the court rules on their constitutionality. The federal government is expected to appeal the ruling.

WASHINGTON -- A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction on Monday that will temporarily prevent the Obama administration from moving forward with its executive actions on immigration while a lawsuit against the president works its way through the courts.
Obama
The order, by Judge Andrew Hanen of the U.S. District Court in Brownsville, Texas, was an early stumble for the administration in what will likely be a long legal battle over whether President Barack Obama overstepped his constitutional authority with the wide-reaching executive actions on immigration he announced last November.
While the injunction does not pronounce Obama's actions illegal, it prevents the administration from implementing them until the court rules on their constitutionality. The federal government is expected to appeal the ruling.
The impact of the order will be felt almost immediately: One of Obama's actions is set to take effect on Feb. 18. On that day, the administration was set to begin accepting applications for an expanded version of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. DACA allows undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to stay in the country and work legally. more

I-Wayne calls for music clean-up : RASTAFARIAN reggae artiste I-Wayne says deejay rivalry, lewd lyrics and irresponsible disc jocks for pulling down the nation's values...."The whole culture break down. The type of filth our kids are now exposed is not healthy at all," he said.

RASTAFARIAN reggae artiste I-Wayne says deejay rivalry, lewd lyrics and irresponsible disc jocks for pulling down the nation's values.
I-Wayne
He is calling for a clean-up of the music.
"The whole culture break down. The type of filth our kids are now exposed is not healthy at all," he said.
I-Wayne -- who is scheduled to perform at
Beer Wednesdays to be held at Usain Bolt's Tracks and Records in St Andrew, tomorrow -- was speaking with the Jamaica Observer in an exclusive interview.
The singjay, whose given name is Cliffroy Campbell, labelled some artistes "hypocrites" because they know what's right, but choose to say and play the opposite just for "hype and a buss".
"If you should ask them if they would want dem kids or mother to experience the things they are deejaying about or playing on their turntables, they would say: 'No'. A man woulda probably all war with you fi even ask him that," he said.
I-Wayne said some of these dancehall artistes, who appear to be very talented, oftentimes are 'inspired' record conscious songs that are sound in values. However, the damage they created had long lasting effects. He declined to give names.
"I hear some of them saying that parents are responsible for their children and they are not seeking to be a child's inspiration, but they are lying. If that is the case, they should just stay in their bathroom and sing," he said. more

MANDEVILLE, Manchester : Tragedy hits Holmwood Technical High School again....Dead is 16-year-old Stephan Hanson of Bloomfield Street in Mandeville who was stabbed in a dispute with another student, allegedly over a girl, when a knife was brought into play.

BY ALICIA SUTHERLAND Observer staff reporter sutherlanda@jamaicaobserver.com  Monday, February 16, 2015    
MANDEVILLE, Manchester — The Manchester police say that a student of the Holmwood Technical High School who allegedly stabbed one of his schoolmates, resulting in his death in hospital on Saturday, will be charged for the crime this week.
Dead is 16-year-old Stephan Hanson of Bloomfield Street in Mandeville.
A section of the Holmwood Technical High School.
According to the police, the two students had a dispute in the town of Mandeville on Friday when Hanson was stabbed. He was taken to hospital where he died Saturday.
Stephen Hanson, father of the deceased, told the Jamaica Observer that he learnt that his son was on the scene, but it was a friend of his who was involved in a dispute with another student, allegedly over a girl, when a knife was brought into play and his son stabbed.
“He was just there. He was not trying to part them,” said the elder Hanson.
Yesterday, Hanson said the family was yet to break the news of his son’s death to his 99-year-old grandmother who had assisted in raising him. He said that she had noticed that he was not home and had asked for him but the family decided to let her pastor deliver the tragic news. “Wi nuh waan the two funeral,” he said.
Hanson said that as a “straightforward Christian” one of the lessons that his great-grandmother reinforced to him daily was to stay away from trouble. “’If no pickney ah fight don’t get into it’,” he said were her words to him before he leaves the house. more

21-year-old Jamaican Lisa Mills insists she will attend Ivy League University, Stanford University to study Law in the USA...Now in her second year at the Marymount College in New York, Mills in on the Dean's List. Mills, who also attended the Havering College in London, graduated from that institution top of her class.

BY RENAE DIXON Sunday Observer staff reporter dixonr@jamaicaobserver.com  Sunday, February 15, 2015   
 IT is Lisa Mills' dream to go to Stanford University in the United States to study law, and the 21-year-old is excelling academically to make this a reality.
Lisa Mills
The last of six children, her father is putting all that he can in place to ensure that the idea becomes a reality -- Collin Mills is determined to spend all he has for his daughter to accomplish her dream of becoming a lawyer.
"If it is only one pair of shoes mi have left," the proud father declared.
Now studying politics, Lisa believes that she can achieve this dream, and there is no doubt in the minds of those around her as she has been doing well in whatever she takes on.
Now in her second year at the Marymount College in New York, Mills in on the Dean's List. Mills, who also attended the Havering College in London, graduated from that institution top of her class.
The former St Hilda's High School student was awarded the Most Academic Student after completing her studies at Havering College in 2013. When she beat over 1,500 students for the top prize, she was rewarded with the scholarship to Marymount College.
While it is a challenge studying in a foreign country, and doing so while working, Mills continues to do exceptionally well.
A reserved, hard-working woman, Mills was not the type to hit the spotlight while here at home in Jamaica. However, since going to study overseas she has been an outstanding student, gaining recognition wherever she goes.
She is happy that she has been doing well in a 'foreign' country, as she knows that it is usually harder for non-nationals to survive the rough times.
"I feel even more proud being in another country. To fall in line and to be ahead of the line means a lot to me," she stated. more

ST.THOMAS, JAMAICA (PAINFUL STORY): Time running out for class-topping student, 14-year-old Leslie-Ann Goulbourne blinded by brain tumour...Since June 2014 the second former has undergone four brain surgeries, six weeks of radiotherapy, weekly visits to the hospital and numerous tests and scans. But, the tumour has now spread to the teen's spine, crippling one of her arms and partially blinding the other eye....Since last June, Williams's expenditure report showed that she has used up close to $5 million trying to get her daughter better....."I am not ashamed to say I am drained financially. I have nothing left," a distressed Williams said. "It's the mercy of God why I feed them every day and still able to take her in (to hospital) when I have to. I still have to pay utilities, take care of the other children, and send myself to work."

Despite fighting a brain tumour that has left her without sight in her left eye and rendered one of her arms useless, 14-year-old Leslie-Ann Goulbourne managed to top her class with an average of 83.2 per cent.
14-year-old Leslie-Ann Goulbourne 
But that was June 2014 -- the last time that Leslie-Ann was able to attend classes at St Thomas Technical High School.
Since then, the second former has undergone four brain surgeries, six weeks of radiotherapy, weekly visits to the hospital and numerous tests and scans. But, the tumour has now spread to the teen's spine, crippling one of her arms and partially blinding the other eye.
Leslie-Ann is afflicted by germinoma, a non-malignant tumour that affects the brain and the spine. Germinoma is a germ cell tumour that forms in the pineal gland area of the brain. Pineal tumour patients typically experience a build-up of fluid within the brain, causing headaches, nausea and impaired vision.
"From she was in grade four the headaches come on. But the headaches weren't so intense. It was on and off. She was about nine at the time," Leslie-Ann's mother, 40-year-old Andrea Williams explained to the Jamaica Observer on Thursday.
Andrea Williams wipes the tears from her
 eyes as she talks about the pain
 that her daughter feels
.
"She studies a lot because she takes her school work very seriously, so I thought that was why. At that time she started suffering minor headaches until it got worse, where instead of feeling it every two to three days she started feeling it every day."
Williams explained that she continued taking her daughter to private doctors but they kept treating her for sinusitis. However, the situation got worse, and when the child started first form in high school the headaches got so bad that teachers were calling Williams to pick her up from school numerous times per week. more

IN JAMAICA: 100 children to get free dental cleaning...On February 28, the team, which is led by Dr Anissa Holmes and Dr Keisha Smith-Pagan, is expected to offer free dental cleanings and sealants to 100 children from underserved and underprivileged communities through a community outreach.

Sunday, February 15, 2015    
FEBRUARY is celebrated as National Children's Dental Month and Jamaica Cosmetic Dental Service (JCDS) is aiming to raise awareness about the importance of oral health in children.
Dr Keisha Smith-Pagan examines Luke before his
six-month cleaning.
On February 28, the team, which is led by Dr Anissa Holmes and Dr Keisha Smith-Pagan, is expected to offer free dental cleanings and sealants to 100 children from underserved and underprivileged communities through a community outreach.
The JCDS said children must be registered for this event.
"We (also) invite children between four and 12 years of age across Jamaica to enter our "Defeat Monster Mouth" Colouring Page Competition," said JCDS office manager Melissa Whyte, while inviting parents to visit their website at visit our website at www.jamaicasmiles.com. "Through this campaign, we will reinforce that plaque "monsters" must be removed by effective toothbrushing for good oral health.
She said one child will be selected to win an Ipad mini.
The keys to promoting good oral health at home, according to JCDS, are to have a tooth-friendly diet and encourage good oral hygiene practices.
Tips to promoting good oral health at home
1. Sugar-added and high sugar-content foods and drinks/juices should be consumed at mealtimes and not as snacks. This is because saliva flow increases during meals and saliva helps to rinse food particles away, and neutralise the acids from cavity-causing bacteria found in plaque.
2. Limit between-meal snacks. If kids eat a lot of snacks, they are unlikely to eat at mealtimes. But if offering a snack, give something nutritious, like a fruit.
3. Monitor drink/juice consumption. Between meals, offer water or low-fat milk. more

"I need help. Am I going to die before I get the help I need?" the 34-year-old pondered, just minutes after returning from yet another visit to the Kingston Public Hospital, where she sought medical attention for a persistent cough and chest pain.
"People wouldn't understand what I go through on a daily basis, I'm asking corporate Jamaica to help me, people like Shaggy, the entertainment industry, especially corporate Jamaica. It's not like I can go to the bank and get a loan. I don't even have a bag to pack right now... I'm on hand to mouth right now," she said.
Marshall said that she is surprised, disappointed, and growing despondent, as close to a month after she made her story public in the Sunday Observer, she is still living in fear that any day could be her last.
"The doctor says anything can happen. God forbid, I can close my eyes and that is it," the mother of two young children said.

Reuters Posted: 02/14/2015 7:22 am EST 
Feb 14 (Reuters) - Multiple world record-holder and six-time Olympic gold medal winner Usain Bolt will retire after the 2017 World Championships in London, the Jamaican told British newspaper The Daily Mail.

The 28-year had previously hinted the 2016 Rio Olympics would be his last competition but sponsorship commitments dictated he will continue until 2017 where he will focus solely on the 100 meters. "That was the initial plan (to sign off after Rio)," he told the Daily Mail on Saturday.


"But my sponsor has asked me to go on for another year, to 2017 and London. But I'll be doing one event, the 100. "I've already discussed it with my coach. I can concentrate on that, and on retiring on a winning note." Bolt holds the world records for the 100 meters, 9.58 seconds, the 200 meters, 19.19 seconds, and the 4x100 meters relay, 36.84 seconds, and talked of his drive to beat those times in 2015.

His 2015 season culminates at the World Championships in Beijing from Aug. 22 - Aug. 30 where he will attempt to add to his eight world golds and beat the 100 meters record he set in Berlin in 2009."If everything goes well this season, in my life anything is possible. If I can get myself in good shape, it should be wonderful this season," he added.

"I live for competition. I thrive on competition. I live to compete against the best. It means a lot when you beat the best." (Reporting By Tom Hayward; editing Martyn Herman)....

IN JAMAICA: Man defrauds dancehall singer Denyque of $1m... He is Andre Poorman, 38, of Chantilly district

Saturday, February 14, 2015    
A Westmoreland businessman accused of defrauding dancehall singer Denyque of $1 million was remanded when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Monday.
He is Andre Poorman, 38, of Chantilly district. He is scheduled to return to court on February 19.
Denyke
According to court documents, Denyque (given name Denyque Dontre) paid a manager's cheque of $1 million on behalf of her father to Poorman, who had advertisted an investment opportunity with Ideal Car Rental Services.
Poorman told the artiste that he had bought Ideal Car Rentals and would be merging it with his company, Whitavon Tours and Shuttle Services. As result, he was seeking investors. It is alleged Poorman told her that he had a fleet of seven cars and wanted to increase it to 10. The singer was presented with a contract, which she reviewed and signed.
The contract stated she would receive $80,000 monthly on her investment. Failing that, she could request a refund of the money. Poorman, however, failed to honour his obligations.
When the matter was mentioned on Monday, the prosecutor informed the court that Poorman had similar cases in St James.
The accused did not deny or confirm the reports nor did he address the allegations. He instead requested a week to finalise his legal representation. He was, however, remanded.

Some facts about her and others associated with her:____
BOBBI KRISTINA BROWN: She spent her entire life in the spotlight generated by Houston and Bobby Brown. She attended award shows and appeared on red carpets alongside them, and performed "My Love Is Your Love" along with her superstar mother in 2009. Bobbi Kristina wanted to become a singer and actor just like Houston, who died three years ago. But her career never took off. She ended up becoming a social media sensation, sending more than 11,000 tweets and attracting 164,000 followers. She often claimed she was married to her partner, Nick Gordon, the orphaned young man she grew up with after Houston brought him into the family. She is the sole inheritor of Houston's estate.

NICK GORDON: Bobbi Kristina was living with Gordon at the townhome where she was found in a bathtub. Police say Gordon performed CPR on her while a friend called 911. Houston brought Gordon into her household as an orphan at the age of 12, raising him and her daughter after divorcing Bobby Brown in 2007. Gordon wore a large tattoo of Houston's face on his arm and called the singer "mom," but she never fully adopted him or included him in the will. After Houston's death, Gordon and Bobbi Kristina went public with their romance. Bobby Brown says his daughter isn't and never has been married to Gordon. more

LeBron James Explains The Precautions He Takes To Protect His Sons From Police Misconduct... "The talk is, 'You be respectful, you do what's asked and you let them do their job, and we'll take care of the rest after.

The ongoing investigation around the fatal police shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in Cleveland, Ohio last November has prompted many city residents to take proactive measures in ensuring their children’s safety when encountering law enforcement officials -- and NBA star Lebron James is one of them.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Cleveland Cavalier all-star forward talked about the conversations he has with his two sons, LeBron Jr., and Bryce Maximus.
"The talk is, 'You be respectful, you do what's asked and you let them do their job, and we'll take care of the rest after. You don't have to boast and brag and automatically think it's us against the police,'” James explained.
“I've had one or two encounters with the police in my life that were nothing. But sometimes you just got to shut up. It's that simple. Just be quiet and let them do their job and go on about your life and hopefully things go well."
According to reports, Rice was shot after police responded to a call about an individual with a firearm near a recreation center. It was later revealed Rice was carrying a toy gun that shoots non-lethal plastic pellets. more
