More diverse ... in the US babies born to non-Hispanic white couples are outnumbered for the first time
By STAFF REPORTER
Published: Today at 15:13
NEWBORNS from ethnic 'minorities' now outnumber those that aren't for the first time in US history.
White babies of European ancestry are now the minority - marking a trend that is set to change the face of American politics and its workforce.
Around four million children were born in the US between July 2010 and July 2011.
Of those, 50.4 per cent belonged to a racial or ethnic group previously regarded as minorities, up from 48.6 per cent two years earlier.
Expert William Frey from the Brookings Institution, said: “It’s a major turning-point for American society.
“We’re moving from a largely white and black population to one which is much more diverse and is a big contrast from what most baby boomers grew up with.”
The Census Bureau data shows immigration is not behind the change but a slowing birth rate among non-Hispanic white couples
Symptoms of Marijuana withdrawal

Study Shows Heavy Marijuana Users Suffer Anxiety, Irritability When They Try to Quit
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
May 8, 2008 (Washington) -- Heavy pot users who quit cold turkey may find themselves lighting up again to quell withdrawal symptoms, researchers say.
In a study of nearly 500 marijuana smokers who tried to kick the habit, about one-third resumed use to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms such as irritability and anxiety.
There's long been a debate over whether pot smokers actually become addicted to the drug and whether withdrawal symptoms are real. They do and they are, says researcher David Gorelick, MD, PhD, of the National Institute on Drug Abuse in Baltimore.
He predicts cannabis withdrawal syndrome will be recognized as a psychiatric disorder in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), considered the bible of mental disorders. It's due out in 2012.

(CBS News) Disco queen Donna Summer has died, a family spokesperson told the Associated Press. She was 63.
Her family released a statement Thursday saying Summer had died and that they "are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy."'
TMZ first reported the news, noting Summer had died in Florida on Thursday after a long battle with cancer. Insiders told TMZ she was recently working on music for a new album.
Known as the "Queen of Disco," Summer was born in Boston, Mass. in 1948, as one of seven children.
The five-time Grammy winner rose to fame in the 1970s, scoring hits with "Last Dance," "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls."
She co-wrote the single "Love to Love You Baby" in 1975, and went on to co-write several other hits, including "She Works Hard For Her Money."
Summer appeared in the 1978 film, "Thank God It's Friday," which took home the best original song Oscar for "Last Dance."

Instead of constantly nagging my husband to help out around the house, apparently I should be thankful.
That's according to a new study that says American men make the best husbands — especially when compared to Australian ones.
Researchers asked 13,500 men and women aged 20 to 45 from 12 countries about gender, housework and childcare responsibilities. Based on their responses, American men were considered the best husbands, followed by men from Norway, Sweden, England and Northern Ireland.
Australian men finished last because they loathe helping out with the housework.
"In egalitarian countries you might, in principle, expect to see women preferring to remain single rather than face the prospect of spending more time doing household chores," study author Dr. Almudena Sevilla-Sanz said.
"However, this study shows that in egalitarian countries there is less social stigma attached to men doing what was traditionally women's work."
According to a British newspaper (the survey was conducted by Oxford University,
