"No Child Left Behind Gains a New Friend"

Extreme times call for changing your approach says Winfield. We must work "out-of-the-box" and create new methods of financial support for our kids.

His search for his first love, a 19-year old flamenco dancer, who he photographed in 1962, will lead him to Spain. After forty years, he is trying to find her to photograph her again. "No child left behind" is not only the passion of the President and his wife, but also for their new friend, Winfield Scott Frazeur IV who is committed to help kids that struggle with the challenges of learning.

OH MY GOD

Editors note: Oh our God.

Out of SAN FRANCISCO

Who: Plaintiff rights law firm Hersh & Hersh begins a multi-million dollar trial on Monday morning, August 2, 2004 in San Francisco Superior Court. Hersh & Hersh is representing Jane Doe (mother) and John Doe (son) against defendants Dr. Steven Lawrence Katz, medical director of Fertility Medical Associates, and Imam El Danasouri, Ph.D. who operated California Reproductive Laboratories.
What: The case involves an in vitro fertilization procedure, which took place in June 2000 at Fertility Medical Associates located at 1700 California Street in San Francisco. Jane Doe chose to have a child through the use of anonymous sperm and egg donors who would relinquish any claims to parental rights so that she could raise the child alone. During the same period that the embryos were to be implanted in Jane Doe, a married couple had also scheduled an IVF procedure at the same clinic with embryos created from the sperm of the husband and an anonymous donor egg. Dr. Katz and El Danasouri, who is not a medical doctor and whose clinic was not licensed as a tissue bank at the time of this procedure, erroneously implanted Jane Doe with the couple's embryos.
Why: Dr. Katz and El Danasouri realized they had erroneously implanted the couples' embryos and not her own into Jane Doe minutes after the procedure was completed. At that time they had the opportunity to disclose their mistake. However they concealed it for more than a year and a half -- through Jane Doe's pregnancy, birth and infancy of her son -- until the California Medical Board began to investigate in late 2001 as a result of a call received by a whistle blower. Dr. Katz and El Danasouri were forced to confess the embryo mix-up and cover-up to the mother as well as the couple in late December -- 18 months after the mistake had been made.
Subsequent to "the confession" Dr. Katz also convinced Jane Doe to make contact with the couple so they could meet her son. Following the meeting the couple served Jane Doe with a lawsuit in Santa Clara County family court demanding full custody of John Doe. So far the court has granted overnight visitation rights to the couple including holidays but the couple still seeks full custody.
When: Hersh & Hersh initially filed a complaint against Dr. Katz, El Danasouri, Fertility Medical Associates and California Reproductive Laboratories on behalf of Jane Doe on in San Francisco Superior Court, July 31, 2002. The case will be assigned to trial on Monday, August 2 at 9:30am by the presiding judge of San Francisco Superior Court. Nancy Hersh is representing plaintiffs Jane and John Doe who are seeking compensation arising out of claims of medical malpractice, fraud, breach of contract, deceptive business practices and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
