Motherhood has changed drastically in the past 30 years. Today, American women are having fewer babies, and more women are choosing to be childless. A new report by the U.S. Census Bureau found:
· 20% of women today aged 40 to 44 have no children, double what it was 30 years ago.
· The average number of children a woman aged 40-44 will have is 1.9.
· Mothers in North Carolina, Mississippi, and the District of Columbia are least likely to marry.
· 20% of all births reported in the survey were to U.S. moms who themselves were born in another country. In California, that percentage doubled, with 41% of moms being foreign-born.
· Hispanic women average the most children (2.3).

Volunteers were taking the dog, a Boxer/Pit Bull mix named Angel, on a walk Monday when she became obsessed with something in the bushes.

The new states are Colorado, Arkansas, West Virginia, Washington, Nebraska, Maine and Mississippi. Also
known as Anabaptists, most Amish shy away from modern conveniences and rely on horse-and buggy. They began arriving in eastern Pennsylvania around 1730.

I know how Matt is getting a little tired of hearing stuff about Michael Phelps … so here is another story :
Michael Phelps has won the hearts of Match.com members. According to a survey by the Web site, 81-percent said if they had the choice, they would pick the gold medal winning Olympic swimmer as captain of their dream team. The respondents also said that Olympic beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh is the female Olympian that they'd most like to go on a date with. Sixty-two-percent of those polled said that dedication and determination make an Olympic athlete more attractive than just their chiseled physiques.
A California man found out the hard way that a woman who owns a convenience store is not one to mess with. James Benefield is accused of bringing a shotgun into the store in Elk Grove and demanding money from Amy Anand. Employees say Anand then attacked the six-foot-five inch Benefield with a phone despite him hitting her with the gun. She managed to wrestle the weapon away from him and even broke it in the process. He ran away but not for long as police caught up to him a short time later. Anand got a black eye in the scuffle but her husband said after hearing about the incident he has no intention of ever "messing with her."
