undefinedThe average pregnancy test costs about $10. If you're trying for a child and checking regularly, you need a bigger budget and a thick skin when comes to your local drug store clerk knowing the intimacies of your life.

So the idea of a $3 pregnancy test available in a public bathroom dispenser sounds like a major breakthrough.

Last week the world's first pregnancy test dispenser was installed, not in a drug store, but in a Minnesota bar. Pub 500 in the town of Mankato, appropriated the device as part of campaign launched by the non-profit organization Healthy Brains for Children.

The organization next plans to add 100 more vending machines in bars throughout the state. All will be stamped with the warning "think before you drink."

The goal is to reduce the number of cases of fetal alcohol syndrome, according to founder Jody Crowe, a former school principal. He hopes these machines will help women "test before drinking alcohol rather than waiting until a month or two into the

I fished a lot with my dad growing up. From just tossing a line with a red bobber from the shore, to full blown week-long adventures on the high seas, fishing is how I remember spending most of my time with my dad.

Here are 7 life lessons to be learned when you go fishing with your kids. - By Buzz Bishop

6 Ways to Create a Bedtime Bond with BabyThere are so many rituals of motherhood: the bathtub bubble crowns, the first-thing-in-the-morning cuddles. The "here comes the airplane" to get her to eat her peas, that one song you sing to him each time he cries. Of all the rituals of motherhood, though, bedtime is my favorite. The bedtime routine not only serves an important purpose -- to get your little one to sleep -- but is also one of the best ways to bond with your child. Like so much about parenting, there is no one "right" way to approach bedtime; it truly depends on your baby's age, the rhythm of life in your home, and your child's temperament. Check out these 6 ways to create a bedtime bond with your baby.

BreastfeedingThere's a weird rumor circulating that breastfeeding is bad for your marriage. I won't say he started it, but when James Braly blogged for the New York Times' Motherlode a few weeks ago, he shared some, uh, interesting views on the subject. In a nutshell, he blamed his wife's breastfeeding the couple's five-year-old for the death of his sex life. It should be noted, however, that it died due to lack of demand, not lack of supply: Braly's wife, at least as far as his piece divulges, didn't stop putting out in favor of feeding her children. Instead, Braly was turned off by her breastfeeding and opted out of their sex life himself. Yet somehow, still, she got the blame, both for his lack of nookie and for… the destruction of the entire planet. No, really, read this:

He writes, "Lest you think sex is a private matter, I would argue that the decline of a couple's sex life can have significant social consequences. A man's loss of appetite for his companion can

Children with disabilities are at much higher risk for experiencing violence than kids without disabilities, says a new report from the United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO). Kids with disabilities are 3.6 times more likely to be victims of physical violence and 2.9 time more likely to be the victims of sexual violence. Those with mental illness or cognitive impairment are most at risk, noted the report, just published in medical journal The Lancet.

The review examined 17 studies, and covered date on 18,374 children in Finland, France, Israel, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. This may be making headlines but sadly, this is NOT news.

Google around and you'll find this damning report Violence Against Disabled Children from UNICEF, back in 2005. Or the 2009 study from the National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, which found that children with disabilities are abused at twice the rate of those without
