condoleeza-rice Reward For Arrest Of Condoleeza Rice

New Zealand students offer a reward to anyone who makes a citizen’s arrest of Condoleezza Rice in her upcoming visit to the country.

“The 5,000 New Zealand dollar (USD 3,700) reward will be paid for a citizen’s arrest of Rice for ‘overseeing the illegal invasion and continued occupation’ of Iraq,” Auckland University Students’ Association President, David Do announced.

Students also plan to make a formal complaint to police seeking to have Rice arrested for what they claim are violations of the Geneva Conventions for her role in the Iraq war.

Rice is slated to make her first trip to New Zealand, as the US secretary of state, after attending a Southeast Asian security forum in Singapore.Police in Auckland, New Zealand’s biggest city, have warned that “anyone who attempts to penetrate the police lines of security around the secretary will not be allowed to follow through with their plan.”

On Saturday, Rice will hold talks with Prime Minister Helen Clark and Foreign Minister Winston Peters, meet with business leaders, and attend an official dinner.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids from Fish

Research has supported the cholesterol-lowering benefits of eating fatty fish because of its high levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids also help the heart in other ways such as reducing blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. In people who have already had heart attacks, fish oil - or omega-3 fatty acids  significantly reduces the risk of sudden death. It is also good for the reproductive, immune and nervous system. It lubricates the joints to aid in arthritis.

The highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids are in deep sea fishes such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon. However, to maintain the heart-healthy benefits of fish, bake or grill it. If you don’t like  or cannot get fish, you can also get omega-3 fatty acids from foods like ground flaxseed or canola oil.

I remember as a child having to line-up with my brother, sisters and cousins after breakfast on Saturday mornings to drink a tablespoon of the “dreaded” Cod Liver Oil from Grandma. I used to wonder why we had to take that oily tasting liquid, but now I see the wisdom in that weekly regimen.

Now, I take an omega-3 fish oil supplement daily to get some of the beneficial effects, but I don’t get all the other nutrients in fish, like selenium. If you decide to take a supplement, just remember to watch your diet and eat lean meat or vegetables in place of fish.

WP_StumbleDigest Update

The plugin only shows the sites you have stumbled and reviewed. It shows the linked name of the site along with the summary review you posted. It doesn’t show stumbles you like or tag, which I suspect will be in subsequent releases. You will have to manually edit the post if you wish to add tags and make any adjustments if the posts get buggy and include unneccesary items. For example, I published an “About” page this morning and it was erroneously included in my Stumbles report post.
