I've also had the experience of overhearing people say things like widescreen DVDs cut off part of the picture.. That is just wrong. In fact, the opposite is true. For those of you who don't know, here's a crash course on the difference between widescreen and full screen. Movie screens are rectangular. TV screens are square. (Or at least most of them are; HDTVs are changing this rapidly.) When you transfer a rectangular image to a square TV set, it doesn't fit.
Foster care: Licensed foster care is made up of individuals or families who have requested to be able to take dependent children into their home. Foster homes are licensed and inspected regularly, and foster parents go through a rigorous interview process before being approved.
If another suitable opportunity does not exist, a foster family may choose to seek permanence either by adoption or legal guardianship. Guardianship, as opposed to foster care, is a more permanent solution and is typically used for cases involving relative caregivers. Kinship care is usually preferred over foster care so that a child is able to maintain relationships with extended family in a safe and familiar environment. If a reunion with birth parents is ruled out, a guardian assumes legal and financial duty until the child reaches the age of 18.
