- Internet addicts halfway house opens
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5
  Mainland China has opened its first halfway house for internet addicts, offering shell-shocked teenagers counselling, books - and the use of computers. The shelter can hold four minors for one-night stays and help bridge gaps between children and parents, the Shanghai Daily said. "None of the teenagers are forced to come here," the newspaper quoted Wang Hui, the house's chief social worker, as saying. "We wander around in nearby internet bars at night and bring them to the halfway house if the teen agrees." Computer and online gaming has exploded in China in recent years, with an estimated 14 million people taking part. Amid growing concern that more and more young people are getting hooked, China has issued a raft of regulations aimed at curbing excessive game playing at Internet cafes and heavily fining owners that admit minors.

  Posted by Billbar from Reuters
  Jews for Jesus thought it was amusing to put comedian Jackie Mason's image on a pamphlet aimed at converting Jews to Christianity, but Mason found it no laughing matter and has sued the group for $4 million. "I found it disgusting and obnoxious, and I find it even more disgusting and obnoxious that the spokesman for that organization says, 'Why doesn't he have a sense of humor about it?'" Mason, 75 and famously Jewish

Nothing remarkable. I have worked in the hospitality industry most of my life. My interests tend to be of things spiritual, about science, the fringes of knowledge, chess, and computer programming to name a few.
