Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood The changing role of the father: 3 of 29
Parenthood in the new millennium has evolved into the ultimate team sport. Strength, perseverance, hard work and determination are essential components to success.

Sciences > Sciences (Other) The joys and challenges of being a science nerd: 1 of 8
The science nerd is a truly misunderstood and unfairly maligned creature. After all, all of us probably know a science nerd. Some of us might love a science nerd.

Food & Drink > Fast Food Why McDonald's is marketing nutritional value of its fast food: 10 of 21
It makes perfect sense to me that McDonald's has begun marketing the nutritional value of it's food. After all, being the largest restaurant corporation in the world doesn't happen by sitting back and letting things happen as they may. It takes an enormous amount of time, effort, and resources to know your customers, even if... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives Super Bowl XLII Analysis: New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots: 32 of 43
I'd like to begin by congratulating the New York Giants for pulling off what may very well have been the biggest upset in the history of football with their spectacular Super Bowl victory. Against all odd, they literally came out of nowhere and beat the Patriots, the hands-on favorite in almost everyone's eyes, mine included... More..
Health & Fitness > Diet & Weight Loss The true benefits of healthy eating: 14 of 14
One of the great ironies of the fast-paced, driven world that we live in is that while we diligently pursue success, we seem to have lost sight of the two most important things in our lives - our families and our health. Any rational person would be hard-pressed to dispute their importance, and yet in our daily struggles to ... More..
