Question by Too Curious: Where can I find how many teens die each year on motorcycles?
A teen claims it must be only a few, because otherwise it would be on the news. So his mom should not worry about him on a motorcycle. I claim just because it is not on the news does not mean teens should ride a motorcycle. Does anyone know where I can find stats on teen deaths? It would be good to have a number to compare it to, such as teen drowning deaths. Thanks!

Selected around the world as one of the best albums of 1997, OK Computer features brilliant and innovative guitar work.

It's 4:30 AM in the morning. Freezing, cold wind blasts off Manhattan's East River. The last of New York City's drunken revelers are sauntering home, but Mike Cioffi, braving the chill in a bomber jacket, fingerless gloves, and carrying a one-foot steel fishhook, has work to do. He is a fishmonger at the Fulton Fish Market in downtown Manhattan. Like many of the men at this market, Cioffi has worked in the same spot where he now stands for 35 years. "It was like I was born here," he says.
At 184 years, the Fulton Fish Market is America's oldest. Every morning from 2 AM until a little after 9 AM its cobblestone streets are bustling with speeding forklifts, white delivery vans, crates of fish stacked five high, and fishmongers like Cioffi. Ships once docked directly at this port, but today fish is delivered almost exclusively by truck.
Soon the stalls, the men, and of course the fish will be moved into a sprawling, new location at Hunts Point in the Bronx. What won't be moved are the market's rough charm and the deep-rooted sense of history that this place engenders. "I hate to see the market move because of the history. It's progress I guess," says Ronni Di Gregario, who has worked at the market for 32 years.
The city is quick to advertise the new 400,000-square-foot facility's modern refrigeration, increased loading space, and executive offices. They have been less clear on development plan s for the evacuated market on Fulton Street, but judging by its proximity to the tourist-heavy South Street Sea Port and the sky rocketing value of Manhattan real estate, an expansion of the Sea Port's shopping malls, restaurants, and residential complexes seems likely.
Some at the Fulton Fish Market are excited about the new location, anticipating increased business from being next to Hunt's Point's meat and vegetables markets. "I am looking forward to the move," says Michael Driansky, who put two kids through college on his 28 years of service at the market. "It's going to be one-stop shopping."
"It's going to be a better environment," agrees Patrick Grosso. "After 28 years outside, I feel like a weathered fence, even though I look good for my age."
St ill most of the men - there are no women on the market floor and few in the upstairs offices - seem morose over the move. "This is part of us," says Mike Rizzoto, spreading his arms out to the frenetic bustle of forklifts, steel hook-carrying men, and deep, blue, morning sky.
It's now 6 AM and dawn is breaking across the water, spreading warm tendrils of orange light through the spires of the Brooklyn Bridge and lighting up the top half of the market's two-story buildings. A few yards away, a group of men gathers around a metal trashcan. Spent fish crates and driftwood are burning inside of it, sending huge flames and smoke into the air. Pat O'Conner, who has lived on the streets around the market for 16 years, is among them.
Thumbing an open can of Mustang malt liquor only half hidden in his winter coat, O-Conner details the names of the loading bays by the water: Coal Chute, Pier 20, and Stephanie. A red brick building behind him, now prime real estate, was once a brothel, he explains. He puts his hands forward and warms them over the small inferno inside the trashcan. Three Korean men huddle near, keeping themselves warm and adding driftwood to the burning pile.
Despite not actually having an official job at the market - sometimes he helps move crates for a few dollars - O'Conner plans on leaving with it to Hunt's Point. "Down here it's more like a family," he says of the deep camaraderie at the market. "I think the people here, they are going to miss us."

Sturgeon is the common name used for some 26 species of fish in the family Acipenseridae, including the genera Acipenser, Huso, Scaphirhynchus and Pseudoscaphirhynchus. The term includes over 20 species commonly referred to as sturgeon and several closely related species that have distinct common names, notably sterlet, kaluga and beluga. Collectively, the family is also known as the True Sturgeons. Sturgeon is sometimes used more exclusively to refer to the species in the two best-known genera; Acipenser and Huso (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon). Canon G7

Helping Teens Work Through Grief (Second Edition)
Teens who have experienced the death of parent, grandparent, friend or relative often find it difficult to grieve openly. When adults who teens trust are aware of the cycle of grief, they can provide a safe atmosphere to allow teens to experience the turmoil of the intense and conflicting emotions in order to move towards healing.
This book is a valuable guide, helping adults connect with grieving teens. The reader will find background information along with many specific activities to help teens reflect upon and talk about their particular concerns. Issues of grief are introduced through drawing, molding clay, painting, movement, writing, listening to music, as well as talking in pairs and as a group. In addition, new activities incorporate the various dimensions of the grieving process with audio-visual materials and the Internet.
The second edition of Helping Teens Work Through Grief provides a more complete and updated manual for facilitators of teen grief groups. It includes additional background information about developmental aspects of teens, the process of grief, aspects of trauma and its effects on teens, the value of a group, determining the group-appropriateness of particular teens, and parental involvement. The many detai ls involved with beginning a group - publicity, interviews, registration, structure, closure, evaluation, and follow-up - are listed.
This resource provides teachers, counselors, psychologists, social workers, hospice personnel and religious youth workers with the necessary information to work with teens in a group setting or support a grieving individual. In a less formal setting, Helping Teens Work Through Grief could also serve as a guide for a concerned neighbor or family member who is in a position to help a grieving teen on the healing journey towards wholeness.
