It’s worth taking a look at the sample license displayed in this news report, especially the gold star used on the license to indicate that it is federally approved. The reasons for “improving” drivers’ licenses this way are complex. The nominal reason for REAL ID was to secure the country against terrorism. The presence of a gold star signals that this the card bears a correct identity and that watch-list checking has ensured the person is not a threat. Don’t be too thrilled, though. The weakness of watch-listing was demonstrated again by the Christmas-day attempt on a Northwest airlines flight. The underpants bomber wasn&#8...

Former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovsky believes the failure to morally condemn the crimes of communism has left KGB operatives in charge of the government to this day. Bukovsky, who spent twelve years in Soviet prisons, labor camps, and forced-treatment psychiatric hospitals for his dissenting views, believes an open condemnation of communism will help the former Soviet Union make progress toward civil society. He recently told his story at the Cato Institute: Watch the entire speech, here.

Take Care Clinic. Because of the tough times many families are facing, companies like Walgreen’s, which runs the Take Care Clinics, are offering special deals. I received an email the other day that told me about a special, time-limited offer that Take Care Clinics are offering: half-price camp physicals . Most camps require that their campers have these annual physicals before they are allowed to come, but the cost of the physical may be beyond the means of someone who is unemployed. The Take Care camp physical includes a complete review of your child’s health history and immunizations to ensure they are up-to-date. Summer time is not only time for summer camp, but for spending more time outside and enjoying what n...

Mr McNabb lost his grandfather to diabetic complications and his father lives with diabetes. The American Diabetes Association is proud to be the largest provider of camps for children with diabetes in the world. Each year more than 10,000 children benefit from camping programs provided through American Diabetes Association funding. Diabetes camp is often an unforgettable adventure for children. To find a diabetes camp near you that is operated or funded by the American Diabetes Association, call 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383).

You endlessly are assisting, reminding and checking up on them to help keep their disease under control. How could your child ever head autonomously away to camp? One answer is the American Diabetes Association's (ADA) diabetes camps for kids. The ADA is the largest provider of diabetes camps for kids in the world. Safety is their number one priority, as kids with diabetes are guided by well-trained staff, usually adult counselors with diabetes working within a climate that understands the daily regimens. Kids are surrounded by kids just like them, diabetes is the norm. Diabetes education within an experiential framework is an integral part of camp philosophy. Kids...
