...tanning salons by young people. According to a 2004 survey, 1 in 10 youths ages 11 to 18 uses a tanning bed each year. Wisconsin is the only state that bans indoor tanning among kids under 16; in 28 other states, teens under 16 need parental consent or accompaniment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommendation - for adults - is to keep tanning-bed exposure to no more than three times a week during the first week of tanning. And yet a survey of more than 3,600 tanning salons in 50 states has found that 71% would turn...
...photograph of Shields, taken in 1975 with the consent of Shields' mother, is by New York-based photographer Garry Gross. Gross told the Daily Telegraph he was disappointed that the photo was taken down and did not consider it pornographic, though "she was supposed to look like a sexy woman." The image removed from the Tate is actually a photo of that photo: in 1983, artist Richard Prince took a photograph of Gross's original photo, framed it, and titled it Spiritual America.

What's more, they can perform missions other than missile defense, and they are considerably cheaper. "This system gives us a much more significant and robust capability to adapt to the threat as it actually emerges," Marine General James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Thursday, Sept...
...private investigations into their own actions within the next six months. But the U.N. should be less naive in its threats—as the United States sits on the Security Council, which decides whether certain cases will be brought to the world court, it would strongly hesitate to consent to a case against Israel. This case, then, is not something that would likely ever be brought to international trial, and threatening such grave consequences is extremely counterproductive when the issues at hand deserve much more rationality...
