All I Want for Christmas Is to Make Obama’s Enemies List - (USA)
I was too young and too obscure to make Richard Nixon’s enemies list back in the day. Not yet out of my teens, my attendance at subversive rallies against the Vietnam War and my contributions to a wildly anti-Nixon publication at my high school we bravely called The Truth just weren’t enough to bring me to the attention of Charles Colson. Thus, I never had a chance

Talking to Your Teen about Health - (USA)
Your teen or tween may not have the perspective yet to recognize what they need to do or not to to get healthy and/or avoid falling into unhealthy habits. As a caring, involved parent, you want to provide guidance, but you don’t know what to say or how to get him or her to listen. Your child is probably listening to you less and less as he or she is turning more to the guidance of peers. Luckily, modeling has been shown to be a very powerful way of shaping your child’s behavior. They will do w

Birth of the 'Culture Wars' - Lee Iacocca, Joe Bageant and George Carlin - (USA)
I Was There at the Birth Stephen Pizzo - News for Real I was there when it began, the ugliness, the ever-so thinly-veiled racism, the attacks on the press. It was August, 1992. The place, the Houston Astrodome. The occasion, the Republican nominating convention. First some spacial data; the press gallery inside the enormous dome was to the right of the podium, about 15 feet above the convention floor. Animosity towards the working press was apparent from the moment I stepped inside.

A double-threat to teen health - (USA)
As teens head back to school, health teachers may want to revise their lesson plans. Temple researchers have found that kids who engage in heavy drinking will more than likely also engage in heavy smoking, and they say educators can help combat the trend by addressing both topics as one health risk. "These are important findings because they emphasize the need for education and intervention programs that target the co-occurrence of these two health risks," said Brian Daly, assistant professor

Washington, May 10 (ANI): A Binghamton University expert in New York says that parents should beware of "sexting"-the latest trend of sending sexually charged messages or images via cell phones-because it may post dangers to their teenaged kids’ health.

Grand Rounds, Vol. 5.47 - Cost Containment In Healthcare - (USA)
Critics of the Obama health (insurance) reform plan have been formally served notice that they are under observation, and should they be caught making obvious errors in describing the proposed plan - or worse, they are detected emanating piscatorial odors - they are likely to be reported directly to certain concerned individuals at the White House (Hi, Linda!), who will take steps to correct such wrong-thinking. So, as he embarks on this week’s edition of Grand Rounds, DrRich would like to welco

Sue Scheff: My Story of a Struggling Teen - (USA)
On this Mother’s Day - I am re-printing my experiences almost a decade ago. I wrote my story and published my book in hopes of helping other families that are struggling with their teens today. There is hope, you are not alone.

Northern Territory Legislates Consensual Teen Sex - (USA)
Via Queen Emily comes this story out of the Northern Territory, Australia. The government has decided to enact a law that forces anyone — from doctors to parents — to report any any sexual activity taking place among those who are under the age of 16. Because that sex is always illegal. Regardless of consent. Emphasis mine: The Northern Territory Government says its Care and Protection of Children Act is all about keeping kids safe. But the AMA is warning the act’s mandatory reporting

"Stand Behind" - (USA)
Apparently there was an article in the national religious press (note to non-Israeli readers: this is a section of the Israeli society) lately about women from that community who have made abortions of a fetus with disabilities. These women believe in G-d, they believe that man is created in His image, and that life is sacred. But if such a community can have an abortion rate comparable to that in America, than I have a LOT of problems understanding that. Women who have never had a baby with
