I’ve helped many same-sex couples over the years have children of their own through assisted reproductive procedures. Egg donation and surrogacy allow two gay men to have children genetically related to one partner and the egg donor, but not to both. It’s the same dynamic for lesbians and sperm donors. I’ve been asked many times by countless same-sex couples over the years: “can we make a baby that’s a combination of both of us? [Read More]

Posted on August 13, 2024 | 4 minutes | 711 words | Billy Koelling

It was a typical enough week for the National League. The Los Angeles Dodgers started out in first place and wound up in third. The San Francisco Giants played king for a day when Gaylord Perry, who pitches the way Casey Stengel talks, baffled the New York Mets with his “slider” (meaning spitball) and won his 16th victory against only two losses. Next day they became mere pretenders again when Juan Marichal (record: 17-4) retired the first 17 Mets he faced, then inexplicably blew a five-run lead. [Read More]

Learning to ride a bike can be a right of passage for children when they move from babyhood to childhood, tricycle to bicycle, and the world stretches before them, one sidewalk at a time. Unfortunately, the road can be bumpy (literally and figuratively) so to ward off potential scrapes, bumps and breaks, it’s important to consider the best bike for your kid. “It is very important that a bike fit the child riding it.

Books: Bestseller Revisited | TIME

Posted on August 13, 2024 | 3 minutes | 561 words | Billy Koelling

QB VII by Leon Uris. 504 pages. Doubleday. $7.95. The Jews who have survived pogroms and genocide will doubtless weather this vulgar affront as well. Still, individual Jews who find themselves stuck in Leon Uris’ paper detention camp must surely regard QB Vll as a rather gratuitous endurance test. Based on a libel suit that the author actually faced in England over a sentence in his third novel, Exodus, the book pits a Gentile Polish doctor, Adam Kelno, against a famous American Jewish novelist, Abe Cady.

A California doctor accused of hawking a supposed “miracle cure” for COVID-19 is facing up to 20 years in prison for fraud. Dr. Jennings Ryan Staley, a 44-year-old licensed physician who operates a medical spa, was charged with mail fraud on Thursday after allegedly promoting “COVID-19 treatment packs” which Staley said could offer immunity from the coronavirus for six weeks and could “100%” cure it, according to a release from the U.

If you’re looking for an excuse to wolf down that double-cheese pizza for lunch, you may have found it in a news story that’s gone viral. Among the headlines: “Cheese Is as Addictive as Cocaine,” “Cheese Really Is Crack,” and “Study Finds That Cheese Is Just as Addictive as Drugs.” The problem is that the study cited in these stories found no such thing. Researchers at the University of Michigan asked participants to report which foods in a list were most difficult to cut down on or eat in a controlled way. [Read More]

Comix: Carol Tyler's "Late Bloomer"

Posted on August 13, 2024 | 5 minutes | 949 words | Kelle Repass

While graphic novels have educated, entertained and provoked their audience over the course of their brief history, rarely have they inspired hope. Yet, that is exactly the effect of Carol Tyler's Late Bloomer (Fantagraphics Books; 136 pages; $29). Unlike the typical "inspirational" prose book (e.g., the Chicken Soup series), which proffers advice on how to overcome life's challenges, Tyler's book goes one better. Late Bloomer leads by example. Like many women, Tyler put off her personal ambitions for the sake of child rearing. [Read More]
