| Guide offers insight into sex
With names like “the horizontal tango," “knockin' boots," “the nasty" or just plain ol' “gettin' some," it's difficult to think that sex is nothing more than a walk in the park. Sure, it seems like all you need is two people to have sex and that's it. But really, only in a perfect world would sex be so carefree, like a fairy tale behind closed doors. For all we know, Prince Eric gave Ariel crabs. That's why Amber Madison, a 22-year-old graduate of Tufts University, wrote a book aimed to educate women about the more technical side of sex. “Hooking Up: A Girl's All-Out Guide to Sex and Sexuality" points out that, pleasure aside, sex also deals with the worries of STDs, using protection and contraception, pregnancy and choosing the right partner with whom to share all these concerns. “I feel so strongly about not telling girls what to do, because that's not my place," Madison said in a telephone interview.
Japan sighs with relief over birth of a prince
Japan's Princess Kiko gave birth Wednesday to the royal family's first male heir in four decades, easing a succession crisis and quelling an emotional political debate over whether to allow women on the throne. Kiko, 39, underwent a Caesarean section at a Tokyo hospital, bearing a boy who is third in line to the throne after Crown Prince Naruhito and Kiko's husband, Prince Akishino, 40. The baby's name will be announced Tuesday. The arrival of a new prince -- Emperor Akihito's first grandson -- defused a succession dilemma in the coming generation of the royal family, which traces its roots back some 1,500 years. The news was cheered by many Japanese, who still maintain an enduring respect for the imperial family more than 60 years after the late Emperor Hirohito renounced his status as a divinity at the end of World War II.
Gulf War Syndrome Findings Not Breaking News
"Recent media reports that Gulf War Syndrome doesn't exist are misleading and masks the fact that even though ongoing maladies being experienced by Gulf War veterans may not have a scientific name they certainly do exist," said Paul A. Morin, national commander of The American Legion. .
