...gatherings are spreading outside the Catholic Latino community. Stephen Everett, a pastor at the nondenominational Present Truth Ministries in Cape Coral, Fla., now officiates at the ceremonies at the behest of Latino congregants. Quinceanera planners report that courts increasingly consist of multi-ethnic lineups. So even if you're not Latino, an invitation for your teenager may be in the mail...
Despite al-Zarqawi's efforts to attract Iraqi insurgent groups into his network, his inner circle of lieutenants and bodyguards is said to consist entirely of foreign fighters.

In a similar event in China last month, hundreds of parents unknowingly fed their infants bogus baby formula made of starch and sugar. At least 13 of the children...
...Women’s Center perpetuates exactly those stereotypes women’s groups should be fighting: that women inherently need relatively more encouragement and resources from Harvard in order to feel welcome and to succeed here. The Women’s Center, according to the proposal, would consist of “a large meeting room and resource center;” however, there is no comparable space devoted to men and issues of men’s concern anywhere on campus...
