Others set egg-timers or print out ration coupons entitling the bearer to 30 minutes of Club Penguin, the virtual world. Like Madonna, some ban telly but permit movies. Not her own I hope. I don't have the resolve for all this. Just every so often, when I'm sick of their sallow, supine bodies and the way the smaller one clutches the backless remote controls like holy amulets - even taking them with him to the loo in case his brother seizes power - I switch off their favoured doom-porn, Air Crash Investigation or Anatomy of a Grizzly Attack, and try to boot them outside. Only to see them graze idly at the computer instead. It is no small challenge being the in-house Ofcom, diligently monitoring screen minutes: adding a half hour of MSN to Doctor Who and 20 minutes on SuperMario Galaxy.
AC on cold morning leads to Estates grow-house bust
An air conditioner that was in use on an unusually cold morning helped lead investigators to a suspected marijuana grow house operation in Golden Gate Estates. Delfin H. Puentes, 39, of Fort Myers, was arrested Thursday and charged with marijuana trafficking -- more than 25 pounds -- and possession of narcotic paraphernalia. Reports say Puentes operated a marijuana grow house at 1781 8th Ave. N.E. Earlier this month a deputy on patrol noticed that an air conditioning unit was in use at the house on a cold morning. As the deputy approached the residence, he could smell the odor of growing marijuana. The house appeared to be vacant at the time. Around 10 a.m. Thursday, a blue Nissan Pathfinder driven by Puentes left the house, traveling 51 mph on Eighth Avenue Northeast, where the posted speed is 35 mph.

Miley Cyrus: 'I'm lonely'
The 15-year-old Hannah Montana star claims she is lonely, because father Billy Ray and mother Tish have banned her from spending time with many of her friends. She says, "Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do. And that's not it at all. It's actually the opposite." "They're protective for sure. My mom is more strict than my dad." "You want to keep your closed circle of friends. And sometimes my mom is saying, 'I have a bad vibe about this person. She needs to hang out with you when I'm around just to keep you safe.' "I need more friends. Its kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends."
