...teen accident rates may seem obvious, but the research team was surprised by how much influence parental monitoring and communication actually had. In the new analysis, based on data from the National Young Driver Survey, a study of 5,665 students in grades 9 through 12, lead author Kenneth Ginsburg found that the safest drivers were those who reported that their parents had imposed strict rules on driving and also provided warm and supportive explanations for their rules. "This absolutely backs up what is intuitively known about parenting - that more-engaged parents are more effective," says Ginsburg. "The bottom line...
...second study, Ginsburg and another group reanalyzed the same data set and found that teens who considered themselves to be the primary driver of a vehicle were twice as likely to get into accidents as those who shared responsibility for a car or had to report to their parents for each use. In the survey, 70% of kids reported that they were the main driver of a car, regardless of whether they owned the vehicle.

The court ordered a federal district judge in Georgia to examine all the conflicting evidence in the case and determine whether Davis is, in fact, innocent...

Meanwhile, Kentucky has gotten a little less red in recent years, even as Bunning has remained one of the most conservative Senators. Louisville now has a liberal Democrat in the House, and the Republican governor whom McConnell helped elect in 2003 was roundly defeated four years later. Bunning's conservative credentials - buoyed of late by his opposition to the stimulus package, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and, especially, the Wall Street bailout...
