A young man growing up with feelings of attractions to other men could be very confused about his self-identity and self-worth, especially if the young man's father and religion cause him to believe those feelings were sinful. This young man could be filled with self-hatred. It would not be a far step to his becoming a bully, beating the wife he felt forced to marry because of societal pressure, and even to be an extremist living on the fringe of society. It would also not be difficult to see him open to self-radicalization... Full story

Mr. Pinnell, his wife and others have fielded top teams and even national champions year after year. It is an amazing achievement to bring this village to the top of any endeavor. Congratulations to the teams. All of Fallbrook sho... Full story

Being an active, healthy person does not immediately remove the risk of illness. It is a well-known saying that death and illness are not respecters of people. Once diagnosed with a significant form of an illness, such as cancer, some are able to overcome it with a change in their diet and lifestyle. Others still need the additional support of an oncologist, who with a staff of medical experts, are able to beat back cancer through a variety of treatments. One of the greatest tools to help fight such an illness is a...

Medicare now covers counseling sessions to help you stop smoking, even if you haven't been diagnosed with an ill...

Life today is much less physically demanding for most of us but can be much more mentally and emotionally challenging. And for many of us, facing all the demands of modern life, it can...
