[2006-12-04] A Soviet-era perspective suggests to Mary Dejevsky that Russia’s current population trends offer grounds for optimism
The demographic crisis has become one of the clichés in discussion about post-Soviet Russia. And it is true that the population is shrinking, wracked by a pernicious combination of alcohol, tobacco and political upheaval. It is also the case that President Vladimir Putin himself, in his "state of the nation" address in May 2006, has identified the decline as the "main issue" facing the country. Most Russians, used to bad news over the centuries, tend to accept the gloomy prognostications with customary fatalism, even as the country's many foreign critics blame what they see as Putin's rep [...]

[2006-12-04] Sex scandals ruin careers and taint images
The public seem to have been accustomed to stories about sex scandals involving high-ranking government officials and politicians. U.S. President Bill Clinton was accused of having a relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a White House intern, in the late 1990s. As a result, the House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against President Clinton. The scandal nearly cost him the presidency.

[2006-12-04] Single women may face higher risk of miscarriage
Women who are unmarried or not living with a partner have a significantly higher risk of miscarriage, according to a new study. And undergoing a divorce or separation during pregnancy raises the risk still further, a new study has found. Stress may be to blame, the researchers say. Women who experienced more than two stressful or traumatic events during pregnancy had twice the risk of miscarriage than their "stress free" counterparts. Previous studies have also linked stress to miscarriage. Stress might cause miscarriage by disrupting the hormonal pathways that influence the inner lining of [...]

Becky says her mom is sometimes lonely and she would like her mom to meet a companion for sharing dinner, movies and other social events. Becky described her mom as, "a major catch – nice, financially secure, and beautiful – and has a 'hot' body, yet has no [...]

[2006-12-02] A Man's Most Important State Of Mind
There are untold riches in the form of female companionship waiting for you online if only you'll change one thought regarding how you'll find success there. Most men have this idea that they are "winning" when they take a woman to bed. Somehow, they've won the prize. Think about how this works in your own mind.

[2006-12-01] Single in the suburbs: The pitfalls of cyber-love
I could feel my face burning as I pounded the keyboard. "You ed me first; I wrote back twice. The second was something like, 'You're no fun.' I was obviously joking." With furious fingers I hit the send button. Back came the e-mail response: "It was not a big deal...let's drop it." Had I just had a fight with someone I was "like-dating" via e-mail? An argument over the Internet aboutmessages I had sent via cell phone that previous weekend? Who knew fighting over e-mail about amessage was even possible?

[2006-12-01] In Seeking a Mate, Men and Women Find Delicate Imbalance
Robyn Thorpe hoped he would pursue her, but she played it cool. She waved goodbye as she stepped down the stairs of the busy cigar lounge. She took three more steps, conscious of the sway of her skirt, deliberate in her casualness. Then the guy in the red tie and blue button-down shirt made his move. "Are you leaving?" he asked. "Can we finish our conversation?" She stopped her descent and smiled as she followed him to an empty table. Her plum-tinted lip gloss glistened. This is what she had come for: the chance to meet a man, a black man, a potential husband. The moment was full of possi [...]

[2006-12-01] Sailors Told To Log-on For Love
Lovesick sailors have forced Royal Navy chiefs to overturn a ban on surfing the net while onboard ship after complaints that the decision to block access to dating websites was ruining their chances of finding romance online.
