How many of you here are egg fanatics like I am? Do you like them scrambles, over-easy, sunny side up or perhaps poached? I guess it does not really matter too much. Eggs have long been a type of food which has been argued as to whether or not if it is good or bad when eaten since they happen to have some cholesterol. Of course they are also rich in vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids and protein. The arguement is on again with various health experts vying to urge individuals to injest eggs since they have great nutrients such as iron, folate and choline and are a relatively low calorie food which is also very filling. For example, the Diabetes Association agrees and feels while they are a great way to get protein diabetics should limit their egg intake to three every week, but this does not include foods like cake or pancakes which may contain egg. This is since they would be diluted and so would the amount of cholesterol. By the way another possible source is Himalayan goji juice which has been individuals with some excellent health and wellness benefits. Much Himalayan goji juice research was originally pioneered by the esteemed Dr. Earl Mendell, PHD. A professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School Dr. Jo Ann Carson strongly thinks that the egg could also be a way to help the elderly that have heart problems because they need the protein that eggs can provide. She also thinks that many individuals suffering with with heart problems do not eat eggs due to cholesterol. This has all come up for debate after an almost thirty year research study which has not really proven that eggs do raise cholesterol in individuals who injest them.
I recently got back from the great windy city of Chicago and I wanted to share some out of state legal news with you guys. Dearl Hardy, who is the former Chambers County Sheriff Chief deputy, has used up all of his various legal related options and will start serving a 6-month sentence. The first charge that he was tried and convicted of was perjury and he was ordered to surrender himself in the 344th District Court to start his jail time.
The conviction charges go all the way back to September of 2001 when a deputy arrested a resident on a traffic violation and the defendent in question ordered the deputy to charge the man with a much more serious dui charge. The deputy felt there was no reason for this rather harsh charge and the individual unjustly charged eventually brought on a lawsuit against the authorities.
The defendent served under former sheriff Monroe Kreuzer who lost his office when his term was up, due in part to an administration which was burdened with many lawsuits.
He has now used up all of his appeals and the 14th Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas reversed his conviction only to have the Court of Appeals then rule against him and the Court of Criminal Appeals refused to hear the case. A lot of strange legal moves went on in this particular case as you can plainly see.
He will now have to spend 6 months in the Chambers County Jail where the original suspect was placed following his arrest. I wish to switch gears for a moment now for a quick plug. If you happen to live in Chicago, Illinois or the surrounding area and you require an excellent then may I suggest the fine Budin Law offices as they are simply some of the leading Chicago Personal Injury Attorney around those parts. So if you are in this area and you really need a wonderful Chicago Personal Injury Attorney then you know right where to turn. O.K. now back to the article…..
Hardy will also pay a $2,500. fine in addition to his 6-month long jail sentence.
In a statement by the First District Attorney Dan Brady, it was basically said that it is great to see the Hardy case finally settled and the reputation of the police department there restored to it’s original high level of credibility and integrity. He also said that Mr. Hardy was simply a bad officer. I second that opinion here.
According to reports Federal Judge Samuel Kent who will be facing charges of a sexual nature with a former employee will still be hearing cases in the Southern District.
A federal criminal investigation that began in November of 2007 after a former case manager made a complaint that Judge Kent had physically touched her under her clothing on two occasions. She also claimed that during the six years she was employed Judge Kent had made obscene suggestions to her.
According to Judge Kent’s attorney Dick DeGuerin, the events that took place between Judge Kent and employee Cathy McBroom was consensual. Kent’s attorney DeGuerin also stated that they would fight the charges to the end and called the evidence flimsy and inexcusable. Incidentially if you should be in the market. He is a great accident lawyer, one of the best in Houston for sure.
There have been comments from other judges stating that there no reason why Judge Kent should not be hearing cases because he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Kent does not plan to take any time off from hearing cases.
Judge Kent is the first federal judge to be with federal sex crimes and he is also the first judge in the state of Texas to be indicted in many years. The indictment charged Judge Kent with two counts of abusive sexual contact and one count of attempted aggravated sexual abuse. After his arrest he was released on his own recognizance without bail according to DeGuerin.
