...points ahead of runner-up New Hampshire. “A couple of us weren’t happy [with our results], but at the same time, we were definitely glad to get some good skiing in,” junior Aubrey Mangan said. Junior captain Christopher Kinner placed 30th in the men’s Giant Slalom event, posting times of 1:11.16 in his first attempt and 1:10.96 in his second. Behind him was freshman Kevin McNamara, who placed 46th, with a total time of 2:25.74. Rounding out the field of competitors were sophomores Brad Alvarez...
...guarantee its success, the key is to tailor the trip to the person to whom you're giving it (i.e., not yourself). Says Tom Johansmeyer, a New York City-based writer, that was the trickiest part about planning the trip to Southern France he gave his wife for her 30th birthday - making sure it retained all the elements of a gift, while being enjoyable for him too.

But the one constant in this changing world may be China's ability to surprise once more...
...That opinion, apparently, is not universally shared. October 31 marks the 30th anniversary of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), which outlawed employment discrimination against women who are Poehler-ized. But the news that pregnant women need to be treated as would any employee with a broken leg or other temporary disability - i.e., not get fired or demoted - seems to have not quite sunk in. Complaints to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) are on a decade-long rise, up 65% from 1992 to 2007. And the number of cases the EEOC has decided to take on has quadrupled...
