Parents use time limits to control teens online
Parents implement time limits to manage teen online use. The approach focuses on reducing screen time and shaping digital habits, with adults monitoring activity and setting boundaries to encourage healthier tech routines.
Filtering tools aid effort by parents for teen online use
A Pew study finds 54 percent of parents with online teens use filtering software at home up from 41 percent in 2000 while 13 percent of American teens do not use the Internet at all. Parents online themselves set more rules, with about two thirds enforcing limits and most keeping computers in open areas.

CBGB’s Faces Possible Eviction Over Back Rent Dispute
CBGBs in Manhattan’s Bowery, birthplace of punk, risks eviction as landlord Bowery Residents Committee seeks to collect about 91,000 dollars in back rent amid code violations. Owner Hilly Kristal vows to fight while the nonprofit’s 45 year lease for the building funds homeless housing for 250 people above the club. Memorialized figures like Tommy Ramone say losing CBGBs would erase a landmark in New York music history. The committee says current rent, legal costs, and code fixes strain funds reserved for homeless services.
