'Cool' Air & Sea Show lifts offCrowds packLauderdale beach for opening day From bicycles and Roller Blades and shouldertops, a wall-to-wall mass of people threw up gave a collective cheer Saturday as the first formation flew over the 1996 Shell Air & Sea Show. And there was plenty to see Saturday: from the roar of the strafing F-16 at full throttle, to the plume of red smoke left by a gently falling U.S. Army Golden Knights parachutist. Full StoryThe hard life of a 'professional mom'Meet Frankie Mae Cooper, 49, a professional mother who has been caring for children most of her life. She dropped out of school in fifth grade to help raise three sisters. She had five kids, four of whom have spent time in jail. To put food on the table, Cooper picked beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on the once fertile farmland where her housing project now stands. Bush case strikes fear in doctors' heartsIn medical schools worldwide, doctors learn that accurate diagnoses depend on medical histories. In pediatrics, that history comes from parents. But, that solid premise crumbles in the face of Jennifer Bush's case, whose mother, Kathy Bush, allegedly suffers from Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a form of medical child abuse in which a parent, usually a mother, deliberately makes her child ill to get attention. |
