Savoie spent a little more than two weeks in a Japanese jail before he was released, and on his release the 38-year-old father had to agree not to try to take his kids back to United States. All charges were placed on a condition hold.Originally, Savoie had visitation rights with his two kids after his bitter divorce to Noriko in January 2009.
Then Noriko fled to Japan in August, and a Tennessee court gave Savoie sole custody. Japan doesn't honor foreign custody agreements. Savoie went to Japan to take matters into his own hands.

"CHEMICAL IN PLASTIC BOTTLES LINKED TO IMPOTENCE"

*Every year, 10,000 people in the United State are diagnosed with the most aggressive and most common form of brain cancer. Even after surgery, radiation and chemo, doctors said the tumor returns in 95-percent of cases.
Researchers are testing out a new vaccine that aims to stop the cancer from coming back.
Peter Rauch was just about to celebrate his 70th birthday when he got the news - brain cancer.
"I thought maybe I was getting dementia or something like that. I just didn't feel quite right," Rauch said.
Rauch had a crainiotomy, where surgeons remove part of the skull and cut out the cancer. The operation went well, but doctors are always concerned the tumors will come back.
"They infiltrate into the brain, and we can take out the majority of them, but there are microscopic cells that go into the brain that are very, very hard to treat," said Dr. Ted Schwartz, neurosurgeon, Ny-presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, NY.
Rauch is testing out a new vaccine. It works by training his immune system to target and kill cancer cells.
In phase two trials, patients who got the vaccine were free of cancer for about 16 and a half months and survived nearly three years. Those who didn't get the shot saw their cancer progress six months later. They survived a little over a year. (:14)
"We've been doing this for many years. It helps to stave off disease, but is not a cure. Now, we have a treatment that potentially can increase the number of long-term survivors," Schwartz said.
"I don't think I'm back to where I was before the surgery, but I'm getting closer," Rauch said.
So far, Rauch's feeling good, and grateful for every day his cancer stays away.
Patients in the trial receive monthly injections for as long as the tumor has not returned. To be eligible for the vaccine trial, patients must be over 18, have a newly diagnosed brain tumor and recently had surgery to remove it.

Will their good looks fade? The better question is "when" not "if."
Would that personality trait you liked such as a strong, dominant become overbearing?
How long would it be before that "free spirit" you enjoy now appear to be irresponsible?
What will you do when you change and grow? What will happen to the relationship?
Are your principles and values being satisfied with this person in the long term?
Why would my relationship with someone like this last for a lifetime?
