From Recession to “Poor Exhaustion”
Dear Recession, We are SO, SO, SO over you! Sincerely, Everyone Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now in the age of Poor Exhaustion. We tried the Groupon thing. We tried the movie night, game night, stay-cation and every other staying-put thing only to realize that being grounded doesn’t get any easier when you are an adult, or even when it’s...
Poverty and Hispanics: Facing the Challenge
Yesterday on my way home, I heard yet another report from the Census, but this time it called my attention in a poignant way. In the past we’ve heard (and blogged) about the increasing importance of Latinos in the demographic face of the United States, but this time, as we probe further, we can see...
The Changing Face of California’s Families
A few weeks ago I was fascinated by an article in the LA Times by Linthicum, Bloomenkatz and Gold (sounds like law offices but they are the reporters) about how the most recent Census figures show how the traditional family structure is changing in California.

Is “Movember” Real Activism?
If you’ve noticed a strange increase in guys with mustaches everywhere you go, it’s not a new fashion statement (although I have my fingers crossed for the day they’re back in style — no joke).
