We have a 9-year-old daughter who has been an excellent sleeper her whole life. About six weeks ago, she started having trouble going to sleep. I did the same thing at her age, but don't remember what my parents did to help me, other than show me relaxation techniques. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/20091123_Ask_Dr__H__Varicoceles_and_cancer_risk.html Question: For the last few months, I've had a swelling of my left testicle that's occasionally painful. My doctor sent me for a sonogram of my testicles that found a "varicocele." I have lingering concerns about the possibility that I may have testicular cancer. What would you suggest? http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/20091123_Sideshow__Plenty_of_box-office_bite.html Has there ever been an artistic theme as rich, as exciting, as delicious as hormonally endowed fanged teens? Clearly not. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/20091122_Consumer_Watch__U_S__probes_mystery_charges_on_statements.html It's not entirely clear when Jeff or Debbie Bollinger gave the keys to their bank account to a Connecticut company they'd never heard of: Webloyalty. Their best guess is that it happened in late 2007, after Jeff bought movie tickets online at Fandango. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/20091122_Worldview__U_S___Pakistan_must_fight_militants_together.html PESHAWAR, Pakistan - While Americans are focused on the U.S. fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan, an equally critical battle is being waged by the Pakistani army against Taliban groups next door. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/columnists/20091122_Phil_Sheridan__Eagles__endless_loop_of_must-win_games.html When Donovan McNabb applied "must-win game" to tonight's game at Soldier Field in Chicago, the quarterback created a bit of a stir. Of course, that happens when McNabb says anything. If he says he's giving 110 percent, he gets ripped for not giving enough and for being lousy at math.
