		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever heard of a viral video that no one has seen? Focus on the Family has shot a pro-life spot featuring the college superstar and former Heisman Winner Tim Tebow. The spot will star Tim Tebow and his mother who will discuss how she went against the doctor's advice to abort her son due to a life threatening infection.

		<description><![CDATA[A New Media Consumption Study shows children watch 7.5 Hours of Media per Day. That is almost as much time as adults spend at work except adults only work 5 days a week!

Much of the growth is contributed by the the increase in various media devices such as cell phone ownership.

The media consumption statistics are very fascinating. Tons of great info. Check it out.

		<title>TV Media&#8217;s Influence on Child Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

&#8220;Several risks to pediatric health are literally staring children in the face. It’s time to call the doctor.&#8221;

Want to share this old, but great article from the Harvard Medical Alumni Bulletin. Very interesting points about how media cuts into many issues such as obesity, eating disorders, attention disorders, violence, sex, and drug use and how Medical Professionals need to deeply consider how much media has an influence on the development of these.

As this fairly long article is well written, I will simply excerpt huge chunks of it. I&#8217;ve copied out ...

		<title>Google stands against Chinese Internet Censorship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Search engines had no choice but to comply to the Chinese government’s demands in order to make inroads into China’s 1.3 billion population. Thus it is big news today that Google announced they will no longer comply and will pull out of China if needed be. This was partially a response to a sophisticated and targeted attack on their corporate infrastructure. Google found an organized attack that originated from China that resulted in the theft of intellectual property. It was an attack targeting 20+ large companies from different range of businesses. However what made this attack significant was that there is strong evidence that the primary goal of the attacker was to access the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activist...

		<title>Avatar Movie Review: The Best Movie Ever?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Avatar recently screamed past the $1 billion mark, easily placing itself as the second highest grossing film in history right behind titanic.

Everyone has heard the talk. The CG is stunning. The immersive land of Pandora is breathtaking. Viewing a movie in 3D finally was worth the extra $2-3. All that talk is true. It's really an awesome piece of work and the visuals is well worth the ticket price.

When you visit movie sites and read the user reviews, you would think this is the movie of the century. A+'s all around. Best movie ever. Highest praises you could possibly mark. <strong>But is Avatar the best movie ever?</strong>
