In his opening address at Wednesday's meeting, Izzat Ibrahim, the deputy chairman of Iraq's ruling Revolutionary Council, blamed Kuwait for his country's suffering, calling the neighboring Gulf state "traitors" for cooperating with the United States and Israel.

A Scottsdale father is the first person in the world to have diamonds made from human remains.

Bill Sefton paid Chicago-based LifeGem $16,000 to $18,000 for six diamonds, ranging in size from a quarter- to a half-carat, that were made from the carbon contained in the body of his daughter, Valerie Sefton.

Valerie, 27, died Sept. 10 in Chicago after suffering from Hodgkin's disease for about four years. She was too sick to learn of her father's plans for her remains.

But, Sefton said "becoming diamonds" would have been something she wanted. She didn't want to be buried and "warned that she would come back to haunt us if we put her up on some mantel," said Sefton, a business owner.

He only recently received the diamonds, keeping one to put in his wedding ring and giving the others to family members, including Valerie's mother and stepmother. Sefton, 51, sees his daughter's shining spirit by just looking at the center stone of his ring.

"Her diamonds are just beautiful. They have a lot of fire, just like Valerie," he said.

LifeGem has orders from about 100 families across the country, including two others with Arizona ties, company spokesman Mark Bouffard said. About 25 percent of the orders are to create diamonds from pets.

The 4-year-old company has a patent pending on its research and uses several cremation parlors across the country. For optimal carbon retention, a special cremation process must be followed. But Bouffard said LifeGem can test remains up to 15 years old to see if there is enough carbon material to create a diamond. A body contains enough carbon to make about 50 gems.

Customers pay about $2,100 for a quarter carat up to about $10,000 for three-quarters of a carat. The stones are bluish in appearance from boron present in the body.

A tree truck wrapped in oil and wax soaked canvas to prevent the dyspepsia and shivering nose bleeds that were so prevalent at the time. Didn't work of course. They had no idea but at least they tried.

You know they just take the money, wait a couple weeks, reaching into their bin of low grade industrial boron tainted diamonds and hand them to the loved one with a nice certificate. The ashes are in a heap round the back.
