Family Events... Technology creates new risks for kids, families
By Marybeth Hicks
For the past two weeks, my email box has been filled with notices that
someone else has added me to their Google+ social network. I joined
Google+ when my eldest daughter sent me an invitation, but I confess I
haven’t been back on the site since then because... well... I have no
clue what to do with it. It took me a while to figure out Facebook and
Twitter, so I’m not sure I’m ready for yet another site to juggle
conversations, updates, friend requests, and now “circles” of friend
requests. It’s possible I’ve maxed out on my technology-based
relationships... Read More. More Opinion.

MEDIA'S AGING AUDIENCES

The Economist...
Peggy Sue got old
Viewers, listeners and readers are ageing fast. Oddly, media companies
don’t regard that as a catastrophe… A FEW years ago Universal Music
Group spied a gap in the market. How about a CD for people who grew up
in the 1950s and wanted to revisit the pop music of their youth? The
label pulled together songs by British and American artists, some... Read

TAXING THE RICH MORE: POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
|
Townhall...
Ideals Versus Realities
By Thomas Sowell
Many of us never thought that the Republicans would hold tough long
enough to get President Obama and the Democrats to agree to a budget
deal that does not include raising income tax rates. But they did --
and Speaker of the House John Boehner no doubt desires much of the
