No matter how physically active a child is, time spent in front of the computer or television screen is associated with psychological problems.
In other words, children can't make up for TV time by spending extra hours exercising.
The findings also suggest that
the way children spend their sedentary time, in addition to how much time they spend being sedentary in the first place, matters for their mental health.

October 26, 2010 "The Independent" - Is Barack Obama a politician whose actions should be judged soberly, or a figure from a feel-good fairytale to be revered from afar?
For two years now, most of the good and honorable people who desperately wanted him to beat John McCain – as I did –have watched his actions through a…

It’s time to demand answers to the most troubling questions since the Nixon Era.
The New York Times is reporting that the billionaire Koch Brothers (pronounced like the soft drink) regularly convene secret conclaves of industrialists aiming to prevent government from regulating business. That wouldn’t be unusual, or even unexpected. But the attendees also include two Supreme Court justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, and three news agencies which never report on the…

Remember the four cops shot at a coffee shop? Here it is. The proposed change in the law after an incident that could have been prevented under current laws. It passed legislation and now set for 'voters' to make their decision.

Another very controversial article by Gordon Duff follows that has much information to consider regarding the powerful deception by US-coalition and Israeli intelligence partners. The comments at the Veterans Today web site seem over-focused on blaming just Israel and Jews for most everything. There is so little introspection about the role of the US shadow government players that helped set the agenda of major holocausts, manipulating to set up Israel with nuclear weapons, and the role of…

Wearing a Bush sweatshirt and cap has gotten a man fired from his work building a stage for an Obama rally.
But the Bush on the clothing worn by Duane Hammond had nothing to do with politics; it honors USS George H.W. Bush, the 10th and final Nimitz-class supercarrier in the U.S. Navy, and those, including…

Dissident Voice

First a given: there can be no resistance unless there is something to resist against. There can be no anti-occupation resistance if there is no occupation, and there can be no resistance against oppression if there is no oppression. It is a simple logic that eludes many people. That it…

Can you imagine a trial judge intentionally misinforming a jury as to its responsibilities and actions in a pending court case? Can you imagine a judge doing so, such that the jury would act to convict a defendant whom they might otherwise have acquitted?
You would probably feel no small amount of outrage toward that judge.
Well, guess what! Such misinformation is given to jurors as a matter of routine in every state in this…
