is here Venker's idea of creating "balance" in women's lives sure looks like... women taking care of the home, and men going out to work, the classic divide of the public and private spheres that has kept women and their concerns (like paid maternity leave) out of public life. Forget public life, ladies; it's not that you can't work, or that you have to ...
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just published a blockbuster story that's today's must read: Based on court records, police reports and dozens of interviews, the paper details how the ATF used "rogue" tactics -- including providing underage youths with alcohol and allowing them to smoke pot -- to run storefront gun and drug stings across the country. In our estimation the most explosive allegation made ...
This logo adorns the NROL-39 satellite, which was launched by Atlas V rocket earlier this week. And NRO spokesperson Karen Furgerson doesn't do much to make the logo seem less threatening. In an interview with Forbes, she said: NROL-39 is represented by the octopus, a versatile, adaptable, and highly intelligent creature. Emblematically, enemies of the United States can be reached no matter where they ...
The other day I was reading an article at Tablet Magazine about an American woman's experience with the mikveh in relation to her conversion to Judiasm. I had a general idea about what a mikveh was, but it wasn't until I saw the illustration accompanying the article that I realized I had no idea what a real one looked like. My curiosity sparked, I ...
More: Quebec Rav Will Kippa Going What's the hottest headwear in Montreal on these cold winter days? Surprisingly, it's not woolen toques or fur hats. Lately, Quebecers wanting to make a fashionable, yet political, statement are wearing kippot covered in the Fleur-de-lis. The kippot are the brainchild of a young Montreal rabbi who felt it was time for Jewish Quebecers to wear their opposition ...
So far, the Republican response to President Barack Obama's historic address on economic inequality has not veered from the predictable cliches of tea party rhetoric. It was appropriately summarized in a tweet from House Speaker John Boehner, complaining that the Democrat in the White House wants "more government rather than more freedom," ignoring his challenge to Republicans to present solutions of their own. But ...
When California's telephone market was deregulated in 2006, consumers were told that increased competition would improve service and reduce prices. It hasn't worked out like that. Carlsbad resident Steve Linke has received so-called measured service from AT&T for five years. That means he pays a flat rate each month for a limited number of local calls on his landline phone. "It's for peace of ...
There are many reasons why this guy sucks, here's but three: The Time Mark Driscoll Said that Men Should Prune and Fertilize Their Wives Like a Prize Turnip or Something Via The Stranger: A husband should be the firm and responsible head of his household, the leader of a "little flock called home and family." He should think of his wife as "a garden" ...
The uncontested star of coastal tide pools is disappearing from large areas along the Pacific coast, including Monterey, where the marine invertebrates have been withering and dying by the thousands. Nobody knows what is causing the die-off, but the killer - most likely some kind of virus, bacteria or pollutant - is widespread and extremely virulent.

Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Monday she will dissolve the lower house of Parliament and call elections in an attempt to calm the country's deepening political crisis.

"After listening to opinions from all sides, I have decided to request a royal decree to dissolve ...
Largely aimed at Iran, which easily exposed them, causing transfers back to HQ. Methinks we have to do much better, and stop blowing off billions in unwise efforts. One more solid indication we are doing this GWOT wrong. The recent reflection of US cold war poicies and how they play against us and our moral authority (such as it is) makes me think we ...

There are indeed things we don't talk about and it's long past time we do talk about it, share it and stop feeling it's our fault. Mental, emotional and financial abuse is widespread. It may not leave bruises, but the injuries run deep. Women from all walks of life can be subject to it. It happens to people of all races, all faiths, all ...
