Five years ago, married couples made up at least 52% of US households. Last year, the numbers dipped to 49.7%.

| [2007-01-03] Single mom should stabilize before dating |
| QI'm a married (but separated seven months) and a mother of two young girls. My husband and I were married for 18 months, this time.

| [2007-01-03] Why teens smoke, take drugs, have unprotected sex and do other stupid things |
| Teens smoke, take drugs, have unprotected sex and ride with drunk drivers, not because they think they are invulnerable or haven't thought about the risks, says a new Cornell study.
In fact, they are more likely to ponder the risks, take longer (about 170 milliseconds more) weighing the pros and cons of engaging in high-risk behavior than adults - and actually overestimate the risks. It's just that they often decide the benefits - the immediate gratification or peer acceptance -- outweigh the risks, says Valerie F. Reyna, professor of human development at Cornell.

| A trip to Lake Baikal in Russia is an effective antidote if you have been fed propaganda about the desolation and persecution of Siberia. It is true that prisoners are banished to this region for lives of great adversity. No one can dispute that it is sparsely populated and far removed from the developed world.

The magnetic charm of Lake Baikal is an unforgettable and integral face of Siberia, which has to be seen to be believed!

| As we in Kazakhstan celebrate the New Year, Qurban Ait (Eid al-Adha), both Catholic and Russian Orthodox Christmases and even Hanukkah, we look back at the year 2006 andsee that our ties with the peoples of the world, including the Americans, have become stronger. Wenow know that millions of Americans became aware of Kazakhstan and the way we the Kazakhs live. While this may sound gratifying, one of the biggest reasons for this greater knowledge is the movie "Borat" by a British comedian released in November, which misrepresented my country as a country of backward misogynists.
