2012-07-21
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 ...

Distracted Driving: Deadly Issue in Louisiana
2012-07-21
Common sense tells us that taking our eyes off of the road while driving is dangerous behavior. When a driver is focused on a cell phone, cheeseburger or GPS navigator, he or she is unlikely to recognize risks on the road. When a driver fails to pay attention, the road is a more dangerous place, and a wandering child, a worker in a construction zone or an upcoming stop sign regulating a busy intersection can quickly turn into a tragic scenario.
New Distractions
As new technology becomes available, new driver distractions emerge. Cell phones have become a major problem ...

How Wage Garnishment Works in Ohio
2012-07-21
It is not a pleasant experience to have wages withheld by an employer due to a court order, but it can happen to anyone who is struggling to pay debt. 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 ...
