Don't assume your kid is any less stressed out by school. Especially if she's a she. Young people experience stress at a high rate, and females more than males, an extensive Associated Press/MTV survey shows. A similar divide exists in terms of fears and safety: Girls and young women are less likely to feel safe in their neighborhoods, in schools, or from terror attacks.

Home Builder in Spain Crashes as Ex-Chairman Keeps New York Pad
Aug. 22 (Bloomberg) -- From the looks of things at the newly built Aparta Hotel Residencia, you'd never know that it's the high summer tourist season in Canet d'En Berenguer, a town of 5,000 just north of Valencia on Spain's Mediterranean coast. The compound's 308 apartments, completed this spring, are all unoccupied. Grass has started to sprout between the red terra-cotta tiles that lead to the empty, peanut-shaped swimming pool. The residence is just one of a trail of buildings dotting the sandy coastline constructed by Enrique Banuelos as he amassed a fortune of more than 4 billion euros ($5.4 billion) over the past 15 years. Banuelos lost much of that money -- and shareholders' -- as the stock market punished the firm he founded, Astroc Mediterraneo SA, amid a rapid cooling of Spain's housing market.
The CNN Wire: Sunday Aug 26
Olmert, Abbas to meet on Tuesday JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet Tuesday in Jerusalem, an official in Olmert's office told CNN. The two leaders last met three weeks ago, on Aug. 6, and indicated it was the first in a series of meetings that would be held. At the time, an official in Olmert's office told CNN the two leaders discussed "steps to be taken in the longer way to bring about the creation of the Palestinian state, which Prime Minister Olmert would like to see happening as soon as possible." Chief Palestinian Negotiator Saeb Erekat echoed that assessment, telling reporters in Ramallah, "They both discussed the most fundamental issues that are the basis for the creation of a Palestinian state."
