Minnesota teen pregnancies drop 30%
|
24.5.2013 |
MinnPost |
| If the figures are bona fide, this is good news. Olivia LaVecchia at City Pages reports: “Between 2007 and 2011, the number of teens giving birth in the state dropped by more than 30 percent. That number's from a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report out [Thursday], which shows a remarkable decline in teen births nationwide. The rates dropped at least 15 percent for all but two states during the four-year period. (One of the two outlier states is our neighbor, North Dakota, keeping good company with West Virginia. Neither state reported a significant change). The country's rate overall plummeted by 25 percent, to a record low for teen births. As usual, Minnesota's at the top of the pack. We're one of seven states in which the birth rate for 15-to-19-year-olds dropped a whopping 30 to 39 percent.”
In the PiPress, Tad Vezner reports : “ A 17-year-old grandson of state Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer was taken into custody Thursday evening after authorities were called to her Big Lake home on a ... |

Minnesota Public Radio: News |
Memorial Day weekend is upon us and many Minnesotans are heading north on clogged highways to summer cabins. With the long winter and late ice-out on many lakes, for some this could be the first visit since last fall. One family opened up the cabin that's provided a summer retreat to four generations. |

How to Make Staggering Amounts of Money and Ruin the Planet
|
23.5.2013 |
Mother Jones |
| This story first appeared on the TomDispatch website.
We have a word for the conscious slaughter of a racial or ethnic group: genocide. And one for the conscious destruction of aspects of the environment: ecocide. But we don't have a word for the conscious act of destroying the planet we live on, the world as humanity had known it until, historically speaking, late last night. A possibility might be "terracide" from the Latin word for earth. It has the right ring, given its similarity to the commonplace danger word of our era: terrorist.
The truth is, whatever we call them, it's time to talk bluntly about the terrarists of our world. Yes, I know, 9/11 was horrific. Almost 3,000 dead, massive towers down, apocalyptic scenes . And yes, when it comes to terror attacks, the Boston Marathon bombings weren't pretty either. But in both cases, those who committed the acts paid for or will pay for their crimes.
