Gambooge is grown for its fruit in southeast Asia, coastal Karnataka/Kerala, India and west and central Africa. It thrives in most moist forests. Gambooge is one of several closely related Garcinia species from the plant family Guttiferae.[1] With thin skin and deep vertical lobes, the fruit of G. cambogia and related species range from about the size of an orange to that of a grapefruit; G. cambogia looks more like a small yellowish, greenish or sometimes reddish pumpkin.[2] The color can vary considerably. When the rinds are dried and cured in preparation for storage and extraction, they are dark brown or black in color. Along the west coast of South India, G. cambogia is popularly termed "Malabar tamarind," and shares culinary uses with the tamarind (Tamarindus indica). The latter is a small and the former a quite large evergreen tree. G. cambogia is also called "Goraka" or, in some areas, simply "Kattcha puli" (souring fruit). G. cambogia is used primarily in cooking, including in the preparation of curries. The fruit rind and extracts of Garcinia species are called for in many traditional recipes. In the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, "sour" flavors are said to activate digestion.[3] G. cambogia is employed commercially in fish curing, especially in Ceylon (Colombo curing), and various species of Garcinia are used similarly in food preparation in Assam (India), Thailand, Malaysia, Burma and other Southeast Asian countries. The trees can be found in forested areas and also are protected in plantations otherwise given over to pepper, spice and coffee production. In the areas in which it is consumed, G. cambogia is considered to be effective in making meals more "filling." The "Colombo curing" of fish is a commercial enterprise of fish preservation typical of South India which makes use of the antibacterial qualities of the fruit. ("Colombo curing" is especially associated with the island nation of Ceylon/Sri Lanka. - Fish "Ambul Thiyal") Assam fruit is an essential souring ingredient in the Southern Thai variant of kaeng som, a sour curry. The extract and rind of Garcinia cambogia is a curry condiment in India.
ponsible for oversight of the potentially explosive substance.At the West facility, criminals appeared to be interested in the ammonia.A West police officer in 2002 pulled over someone driving through West Fertilizer with his vehicle's headlights off, according to a sheriff's crime report. The police officer reported that "there have been numerous thefts of anhydrous ammonia" from the plant, the report says. But that driver was found to have taken a hydraulic hay spear.That same year, a plant employee told authorities that someone was stealing 4 to 5 gallons of anhydrous ammonia about every three days, according to another report. Sheriff's office records released Friday did not indicate that authorities were being called that often.In more recent calls, an employee had noticed signs that someone had gone through the office without taking anything. In one 2009 record, someone reported that the TV in the office was left on a Spanish-language channel. The year before, an intruder appeared to have viewed pornography on a secretary's computer.In another 2009 record, Cody Dragoo a plant employee and first responder who died fighting the fire called authorities to report two men who were seen on the plant's security tape entering part of the facility. The only things found missing were a cabinet lock and a box of Oreo cookies, according to a report. It's unclear if the men were identified or arrested.Reuters first reported on the break-

A federal agent convicted for the first time under the Kansas law could face six months in prison, though probation would be the presumed sentence."These hard-working federal employees cannot be forced to choose between the risk of a criminal prosecution and the continued performance of their federal duties," Barry Grissom, the U.S. attorney for Kansas, said in a statement Thursday.But Kobach called Holder's analysis "simplistic and incorrect" and said the Kansas law is valid to protect the state's residents against unconstitutional measures enacted by Congress."We are very, very confident of our position," Kobach said in an interview. "The state of Kansas is not in any way afraid of a legal challenge."The office of Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt has already anticipated a potential legal challenge from the federal government, and has asked legislators to increase its budget by $225,000 over the next two years to cover litigation costs.Stoneking said a dispute could arise after a local gunsmith sells a firearm manufactured in Kansas to a state resident without complying with federal requirements for a background check on the buyer or registering the gun. Kobach agreed."Until that actually happens, there won't be any litigation," Stoneking said. "The federal government will have to have some way of finding out."Supporters of the Kansas law have sa
