Some kids don&#8217;t even have a home to go after school.  Homeless children are on the rise especially in places like the Ozarks.

		<description><![CDATA[Lebron James’ departure from Cleveland was pretty monumental. It was also really telling about the state of our media and us. News shows devoted tons of time to speculating on where he’d go, when in reality, the people speaking had no idea. The reason for all this attention was simply that media outlets function to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The BP oil spill has undoubtedly been an epic disaster. It’s so huge, and so foreign a subject, that it’s hard to even process the massive numbers coming out of the news. The flow may be 2.1 million gallons of oil per day, which is pretty much impossible to fathom. As a result, I didn’t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new study highlighted a growing choice many teens are making: trying to time sex to avoid pregnancy, while disregarding the benefits of birth control aids.
