An NBC reporter mentioned that the number of teen jobs this summer is the lowest since 1958. They wanted parents to hear, however that teens will tell their parents that they do not want to do anything.They actually mean the opposite; they would like to travel with their parents, do projects at home or in the community, maybe even tart a family book club (wow! ) or volunteer locally to help others!
Ms. Sachs warned parents against nagging.
She said that it is crucial that we back teens in our society today.
She said anything is better than just leaving them parked in front of the computer or television all day! Go out and do stuff in nature, she admonished parents.
gain a new hobby; promote projects that the teen wants to do.
This was very interesting to me. My teen actually wants help on a project too.:)
I think we have to step up as parents and friends of teens because often their friends are out of town, moving, or too busy in their sport to help.(or dance or theater work).
What do you think? Do you know teens who would welcome this?
Please tell us.

In 1969 John Rendell and Ace Berg Adopted Christian, a 35 ibs. lion cub from the London Zoo. They loved him and enjoyed playing with him. He became 185 ibs.
They consulted Adamson who is a conservationist and who had been in Born Free with them. Adamson worked with the lion cub and then released him to the wild in Kenya.
Apparently Adamsen told them Christina became the head of his own pride!
Rendell and Berg visited Adamson's camp. here outside the camp Christian reappeared and hugs both of them! He had grown up but still knew his roots!:):)

There were three Americans who we were able to get released from jail in Columbia this past month. They said that they were chained together (two to one lock; neck lock) at night and during the day time, they worked for their captors on a leash with said chain that they carried around.
What do you make of this?
Also, in light of the recent release of three people do you think more people will be able to go? Please write your thoughts .

Stromatholites created the first oxygen on the planet! They were living organisms that grew together 100 million years ago!The ones discussed on PBS were in Australia.
The oxygen that they produced formed the first protective shield around the earth! cool!
Would you want to go see these in Australia? :) I would :o
Awesome!
Please leave comment on what you think about them!
byw.....
Has anyone seen the science fiction movie Cocoon? Well I think that those were the wonderful oxygen producing plants that become like rocks that the aliens were using!
Bryan Dennehey is really good in this one!

The Week

The International Criminal Court charged Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashur with genocide against ethnic African tribes in Darfur and it has requested his arrest. Some 300,000 people have died in Darfur at his hands and 2 million have left their homes as refuges. Sudan;s Arab government has met with the Arab League . One League member called the indictment"a grave and inacceptable interference". The Court can only arrest Al-Basir if he leaves Sudan.
What do you think about this?
Please leave comments.
(For some time now Al-Basir has refused to let U.N. forces help these people.)

"We all pay a price for bad parenting"

Mr. O'Douherty claims that Ireland is full of "unfit parents' who abuse their children. He talks about vicious verbal abuse that he personally has witnessed time and time again in Dublin.
He demands that the Irish government take more of an active stance in taking these children away from their negligent parents and doing a better job of screening foster parents.What do you think?
