THE BOY GAME is a transmedia project (video and interactive website) that explores bullying not from the vantage point of the roles boys play, but the cultural landscape in which these roles flourish. Much focus is on getting schools to protect targets, which is critical, but the truth is boys can't be policed 24/7, and all boys, even bullies (who have most often been targeted themselves) suffer under hyper-masculine norms of toughness. Both the video and website are based on off-the-record interviews with boys nationwide and follow the stories of three boys: a bully, a ...

New Distractions As new technology becomes available, new driver distractions emerge. Cell phones have become a major problem ...

Ohio law allows wage garnishment, which is the legal method used to collect money a person owes by taking the money directly out of the person's paycheck. Wage garnishment can be obtained if a judge finds that the debtor is legally obligated to pay money to a creditor. The judge will then issue a court order that will direct the debtor's employer to withhold part of the debtor's pay and that money will be applied toward ...
