  6. Holocaust Museum's message: Don't bully

    The little girl is only 8, and so she does not yet read newspapers or watch or listen to the local news. But she knew of the death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton &mdash; some of the older kids she knows had been talking about it. So last Sunday, some hours before the Super Bowl, she said, &quot;Bullies should not ever have guns," and that was the reason that she and I drove to the Illinois Holocaust Museum &amp; Education Center in Skokie.

  7. Live Talks Los Angeles launches Conversation Bar (it's snacky)

    Starting Thursday, people who attend Live Talks Los Angeles events will be able to nosh on a Conversation Bar. It's a custom, branded energy bar that tastes a lot like cookie dough. It will be, as far as we've been able to determine, the first reading series energy bar.

  8. Fun-wise, national signing day is a signature event

    What fun, this national signing day, colleges' version of the NFL draft. Story I'm following most closely is of the Florida mom who reportedly ran off with her kid's signing papers so he wouldn't leave home.

  9. Dave Barry has snakes on the brain

    As is widely stipulated, Dave Barry is a very funny guy. He was hysterical when he wrote his nationally syndicated column for the Miami Herald, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988, and is arguably even more droll in his madcap novels set in South Florida. The latest of these, &ldquo;Insane City&rdquo; &mdash; his first solo fiction in a decade after a best-selling series of Peter Pan tales co-written with Ridley Pearson &mdash; features the usual Barryesque panoply of ribald pranksters, addled taxi drivers, gangsters, strippers and pimps. There's also a big wedding coming up, said nuptials potentially interrupted by the arrival of a raft carrying a desperate Haitian refugee and her two children, an orangutan named Trevor and an 11-foot albino Burmese python named Blossom. Hilarity ensues, naturally, although with more than a wisp of serious content hiding in Barry's well-constructed thicket of comedy.

  11. An epic kids' rhyme from 'Hunger Games' director Gary Ross

    It began as a favor. It became an obsession. It was 1996 and screenwriter Gary Ross got a call from a desperate friend. Out of time and money, director David Koepp was in frantic need of a children's story to complete his movie feature debut, "The...

  12. An easier way to go

    The most dreaded part of a colonoscopy is prepping for it. The day before the exam, patients often drink large amounts of a vile-tasting liquid, then it's off to the throne for the better part of the day and night. Though unpleasant, this extreme...
