NIGGY PREXYS THRU HISTORY… November 28th, 2008 By now most of you have heard the story of JOHN HANSON who is pictured on the back of the $2 dollar bill. HANSON has often been cited as the first United States president since Congress had been newly formed and the Articles of the Confederation had just been drafted prior to his presiding over the office. The other myth bandied about regarding HANSON is that he was a bit niggy. You know, slightly jiggy. Exactly like our current president-elec

Music events raise funds for charities - (USA)
For music lovers the allure of a multi-stage, weekend-long music festival is hard to refuse. Often these outdoor events take place in great summertime weather, in scenic locations and feature music than one can listen to during the course of a day. However, the enchantment often ends when one discovers the ticket price. Single day tickets to these events are often more than $80 and a weekend pass is usually $200 or more. In Toledo two music festivals have been established that bring in well-kn

The John Hughes Generation - (USA)
Before Gen Y, the voracious creators and consumers of social media, came Gen X, who built the infrastructure on the web that made social media possible. Where these generations intersect is through the movies of John Hughes, who suddenly passed of a heart attack while on a morning walk today in Manhattan, at the age of 59. Hughes movies spanned from domestic gender role comedies like Mr. Mom to classic road movies like National Lampoon’s Vacation (for which he wrote the script), to

Pop culture king - John Hughes is dead - (USA)
Sad news last night that director John Hughes has died. He started out as a copywriter in Chicago and went on to define a generation of geeky teens with a great slice of pop culture and angst. That generation that went on to be known as Geneation X and for them he wrote the script and provided the score movies like 'Pretty in Pink' and 'The Breakfast Club' making young stars out of the likes of Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy; Anthony Michael Hall and Emilio Estevezand.

Rethinking “Sex Crimes” and Sex Offender Registries - (USA)
The Economist magazine has just released an important feature article entitled, “ Sex Laws: Unjust and Ineffective .” In an indirect way, the article makes a point that I have been trying to get across in my work on this issue : If you want to keep your kids safe from real sex offenders, we need to scrap our current sex offender registries and completely rethink the way we define and punish sex offenses in this country. That’s because, currently, a significant percentage of those people lis

Your Children Are Probably Safe Online – Really! - (USA)
People who know me and my history as a journalist know I have long had an interest in the safety of children and teenagers as they venture online — and a mean streak when it comes to those who exploit fears for their own personal, political, financial, or any kind of gain. Really. Child Predators. Sex Offenders. Kiddie Porn. These are explosive topics that inspire disgust in anyone who has half a heart. But even half a heart has a tendency to overwhelm our capacity for rational thought when ch

Comforting Myths about Gun Control - (USA)
There are certain comforting myths that the gun-control movement likes to promote. “Mandatory gun registration would help us solve gun crimes” is a big one. Perhaps the most comforting — and dangerous — of all is: “Give the robber what he wants, and he probably won’t hurt you.”This news story from Atlanta is valuable for a number of reasons (emphasis mine):

Are There Cell Phones Just For Kids? - (USA)
by Lanny Houghton The odds are your young child will come home one day and out of the blue ask for a cell phone. You see, in every classroom of kids, one of them will be the first to get a cell phone and when they do, everyone will want one. Fortunately, there are cell phones that are made specifically for young children and teens. A child’s first phone should be something simple with not too many options and buttons. There will be time for all that when they grow older. Many of them come

GameCyte Gives Parent-Facing Video Game Report Card a B - (USA)
As we dedicated gamers boldly step into the holiday season, our featherweight pocketbooks cowering in fear before the mountain of new games to play, the only question we need to ask ourselves is “Which first?” But for parents, awash in a sea of doubt and heresay spawned by video game studies, the question is not necessarily when, but if they should buy games for their children at all; and after that, which games might be appropriate. For the past thirteen years, some such parents have turne

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.
