Print DEAR ABBY: My son is a tall, strikingly handsome teenager, although somewhat shy. Our problem is that his looks attract the wrong kind of attention from aggressive girls, and it's getting worse every year. He and his 14-year-old sister went out to eat after school yesterday, and when they returned it was obvious my son was upset and his sister was furious. She said a group of college girls at a table next to them were teasing and taunting my son with blatantly sexual propositions. They went so far as to touch him suggestively as they got up to leave. I'm sure they got the physical response from him they wanted; The sexual harassment of young men is often laughed off with a wink and a nudge, but it isn't funny. Furthermore, my son is a minor, and I suspect the college girls were adults, if the beer on the table was any indication. I am trying to raise my son to respect women and to be a decent man, husband and father someday, but frankly, I'm at a loss as to how to help him handle this type of sexual aggressiveness from girls. He was not only sexually harassed by those young women, but when they put their hands on him, he was assaulted. When the teasing escalated, he and his sister should have changed tables or left the restaurant. If your son's father is in the picture, he should discuss the incident with your son. If that's not possible, another adult male should help him understand that his arousal was normal and nothing to be ashamed of. I am sure my male readers will also want to weigh in on your letter because what happened to your son was outrageous. She's upset with me, however, because I won't let her drive it unless I'm in the car. I bought it with the intent for us to enjoy it, but I am also concerned with keeping it in good shape. Because my wife is unhappy, I am undecided about whether to keep the car and stick to my guns, or sell it and live life simply and unfettered. We share everything, but the car is one thing that needs careful attention. On one hand, you say you bought the car for yourself, and on the other, you say you bought it for both of you to enjoy. I think the time has come to confess to your wife that even though you said the car was for both of you, it's really your baby. Then make it up to her by buying her that special something she has always wished for.

Soccer-Two goals should have been ruled out, says Barca's Roura By Brian Homewood MUNICH, April 23 (Reuters) - Bayern Munich's 4-0 rout of Barcelona in a Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday was partly down to two goals that should have been chalked off, said assistant coach Jordi Roura. Mario Gomez looked marginally offside when he turned in Thomas Mueller's header from close range for the second goal in the 49th minute. The two-goal Mueller also appeared to obstruct Jordi Alba when the full back attempted to stop Arjen Robben as the Dutch international winger ran through to score Bayern's third after 73 minutes.
Soccer-That was a thrashing, says Barca defender Pique MUNICH, April 23 (Reuters) - Barcelona centre half Gerard Pique acknowledged his team were thoroughly second best as Bayern Munich romped to a 4-0 win in their Champions League semi-final first leg at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday. "We will try to turn it around in the return leg (on May 1) and put in a good performance for the fans. There is no point talking about the referee, there is no excuse." Arjen Robben, who sparkled on the wing for Bayern and scored one of the goals, hailed his team's spectacular performance.

Soccer-Higuain to replace Benzema in attack for Real By Karolos Grohmann DORTMUND, Germany, April 23 (Reuters) - Gonzalo Higuain will replace Karim Benzema in attack for Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first leg at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, coach Jose Mourinho said. Benzema scored in the 3-1 win over Real Betis on Saturday but picked up a knock during the game. Mourinho also confirmed Diego Lopez would continue in goal instead of Spain international and out-of-favour Iker Casillas.
Soccer-Evra pokes fun at Suarez over biting incident LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Manchester United defender Patrice Evra wasted no time in poking fun at Luis Suarez for his latest misdemeanour, pretending to chomp on a fake dismembered arm after his side clinched a 20th English title by beating Aston Villa on Monday. The day before, Liverpool's Uruguay striker Suarez had bitten Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a 2-2 draw at Anfield - a moment of madness for which he faces a lengthy ban from the Football Association.
Obama threatens "family tattoo" if daughters get their own WASHINGTON (Reuters) - If they were thinking about getting tattoos, the Obama daughters may want to reconsider. Speaking on NBC's "Today" show in a segment originally filmed before the Boston Marathon bombings, President Barack Obama revealed the strategy he and First Lady Michelle Obama have been using to keep their daughters away from tattoos. "What we've said to the girls is, 'If you guys ever decide you're going to get a tattoo, then mommy and me will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place, and we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo,'" Obama said.
The Muslim World Hates the US More Than Ever If there was one thing the left was certain about in 2008 it was this: George W Bush had catastrophically undermined America's world reputation with his unprovoked aggression and use of torture. As Andrew Sullivan wrote in 2007, among best assets Obama brought to the "rebranding" of America was "his face." The election of Obama and his friendly approach to the Muslim world would make the United States safer as well as more just.
