(CNN) -- Jason, 13, knows he is an easy target for bullies at his middle school in Long Island,
New York.
[... ]He prefers to wear skinny jeans and black zip-up hoodies, fashion choices that induce
comments like "emo" or "gay" from classmates. [... ]Other kids cali him a loser.
[... ]Last year, he says he became a victim of cyberbullying -- vicious, viral and incessant attacks
through text messages, e-mails and Facebook posts that have both replaced and supplemented
tradition al schoolyard bullying. [... ]
October marks National Bullying Prevention Month, a topic that has made headlines lately. Last
week, authorities found the body of Tyler Clementi, a New Jersey college student, who committed
suicide after two other students allegedly placed a camera in hi~ dorm room without his
knowledge and then broadcast his sexual encounter online.
The proliferation of cell phones, iPods and Facebook brings a complicated challenge for parents,
teachers and students: The constant exposure to technology and the web amplifies opportunities
for children to bully each other online.

A new study reveals that watching less television may lead to a
longer life
Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front
of the tube may take years off your life.
Thafs what Australian researchers found when they collected TV viewing information
fram more than 11,000 people aider than 25 years, The study found that people who
watched an average six hours of TV a day lived an average 4.8 years less than those
who didn't watch any television. Also , every hour of TV that participants watched after
age 25 was associated with a 22-minute reduction in theif life expectancy,
l1's no mystery that sitting in front of the tube isn't exactly healthy. The more TV you
watch, the less physically active you are. And the less exercise you get, the more
Iikely you are ta develop diseases such as diabetes or heart problems.
Lennert Veerman ÎS the lead author of the study, which was publîshed in the British
Journal of Sports Medicine. Veerman works at the University of Queensland. He
acknowledges that it may not Just be the sedentary nature of watchîng TV that lowers
life expectancy, but also the poor diet that onscreen junk-food advertisîng can
promote. But Veerman says that the association between watchîng tao much TV and
lower life expectancy persisted, even after adjusting for diet

Occupy Wall Street: New York police
clear.Zuccotti Park
New York police have disrnantled the Occupy Wall Street camp in Zuccotti Park
and arrested about 200 people following a raid in the early hours. [ ... ]
In a news conference, Mr Bloomberg said there was a conf!îct between protecting
public health and safety and protesters' First Arnendment rights.
"Unfortunately, the park was becoming a place where people came not to
pratest, but rather to break laws, and in some cases, to harm others," Mr
Bloomberg said.
"The First Amendment gives every l\Jew Yorker the right to speak out - but it
does not give anyone the right to sleep in a park or otherwise take it over ta the
exclusion of others.fi
Police spokesman Paul Browne said most people left the park when ordered, but
that a small group of people had refused.
The 200 or 50 people arrested ir'lcluded sorne who had chained thernselves
together. [ ... ]
The Occupy movement, inspired by the Arab Spring uprisings and econornic
protest camps in Spain, îs calling for a more equal distribution of the world's
wealth and a fairer response to the globa economic crisis.

Dai Greene believes football has 'no place' at Olympics
Tuesday, 22 November 2011
World, Commonwealth and European 400m hurdles champion Greene is one of
Great Britain's best hopes for a home gold at the London Games. He insists football
should not be at London 2012 as it will "overshadow" traditional Olympie sports.
The British Olympie Association wants a football team to play in London but the
Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish football associations are against it.
Greene feels the Olympics has "no place" for football [... ] 1 hope that those big
football players don't overshadow those people who have trained for four years to be
there for that one moment. These guys want to win Premierships, Champions
League traphies and World Cup medals. They don't graw up wanting to be an
Olympie champion, they want to be the best in football. [... ]
The 25-year-old is a football fan and played for Swansea City's youth team but he
feels his view that football should not be played at the Olympics represents the
consensus among athletes. Most athletes wou Id agree with what l'm saying," said
Greene.
"When some guy wins a gold medal in badminton or swimming, they want it to be
about them and their hard work and their story to get there.
"But sadly, in some of the papers, that might be overshadowed with what David
Beckham had for breakfast maybe - and that is not a great story fram our point of
view."
