...have a fairly low opinion of dads, or at least of what you're doing as a dad. Has any father ever come up to you after having read it and said, "This is preposterous. I love my children! How dare you, sir?" The problem with the type that says, "I instantly bonded with my child. I love my child - how could you suggest that a father feel any differently from the beginning?," is that there is social pressure to say just that, so it's a little hard to know if they actually felt it or whether they...

...company is called Sunnygram, a play on telegram or maybe gramma - though grandpas like Murray might appreciate the correspondence as, say, a Father's Day gift.

"Many of our current customers were computer users prior to adopting Presto," says Radsliff. "They found that as they aged, they didn't want to hassle with owning a computer anymore."

Treasure's colleagues at the Maudsley Hospital say current treatments are equally obsolete. In the late 1980s, the British researchers published the earliest studies describing what has become known as the Maudsley method of treating anorexia in teens - and it remains the only therapy that has proved effective in controlled trials. Unlike traditional treatment, which assumes that anorexia is caused by environmental factors and low self-esteem and often involves intense therapy at residential treatment centers, the outpatient Maudsley method does not focus on psychological therapies or on "parent-ectomy" - removing the teen from the home...
