Halo Appears Over Moscow

If one appears over D.C. I'm outta here

clipped from buzz.yahoo.com And you thought rainbows were cool. A few days ago, a mysterious cloud shaped like a halo appeared over Moscow, and the buzz has yet to break. We're the first to admit that a photograph of the heavenly cloud appears to be photoshopped. It's just so...perfect. But meterologists have spoken up and said the cloud wasn't digitally altered. However, it wasn't exactly what it appeared to be, either. When the cloud initially formed, some UFO enthusiasts declared it to be a "true mystery." Some even compared it to the giant spaceship hovering over Earth in the movie "Independence Day." Reality quickly dashed any predictions of an alien invasion. An article from the Daily Mail explains that the "luminous ring-shaped cloud" was simply an optical effect. An official spokesperson for Moscow's weather department said, "Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west — this is how the effect was produced."

Olympia Snowe says she will vote for health care bill, the only Republican to back the legislation Divided along partisan lines, a key Senate committee moved Tuesday toward a milestone vote on sweeping health care legislation that would fulfill President Barack Obama's top domestic priority. Its ultimate fate remained far from certain. "Ours is a balanced plan that can pass the Senate," declared Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. Health care legislation is expected to be on the Senate floor the week after next, said a spokesman for Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who must combine the Finance version with a more liberal proposal from the health committee.

Signing Off On Sex Ed

Sex ed came into being because kids weren't getting the necessary information to protect themselves. If parents treat sex as a taboo subject at home they are likely not to have their children attend a sex ed class.

clipped from cbslocalblogs.prospero.com   As parents, we're used to signing permission slips for a range of activities. But if a new bill passes on Beacon Hill, we will also sign permission slips for sex education. Kids would not be required to take it if parents don't "opt in" and sex ed would be offered only on an elective basis. Right now, parents write notes if they want their kids to "opt out" of sex ed. Would requiring parents to sign permission slips for sex ed get parents more involved? Would it lead to better communication between parents and kids about what is -eh- a delicate subject? Are kids whose parents don't sign the permission slip in danger of missing out on lessons about pregnancy, HIV/AIDS and other diseases? We want to know what YOU think...
