- An art exhibit in Washington D.C. features crocheted nude figures created by Ming Yi Sung Zaleski.
"Public Art Private Parts" is an exhibit of completely crocheted pieces. Only this time it's not scaring people in the lobby of an office building like it did in 2005, when Zaleski's work caused a controversy that led her to partially censor the art. Now, it's just drawing stares, giggles and even buyers at the Nevin Kelly Gallery in Northwest Washington.The naked human and animal figures are back with a whimsical, 5-minute film that explains why fig leaves are covering the anatomically correct crocheted private parts. (Those who aren't offended are invited to lift the leaves.)

- What effect is the nude, rude and crude behaviour of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan having on our children?
And even if our adolescents pick up a few tricks from the Brit Pack, we have a big head start on them. We begin to teach our kids values while they're still in diapers. "Kids learn good morals and values by copying role models who are close to them," says Michele Borba, author of "Teaching Moral Intelligence." Experts say that even the most withdrawn teens scrutinize their parents for cues on how to act.
