...mother take a diaper off, empty the solids and put it back on," says Goldblum. Not having enough diapers, she realized, has far-reaching effects. "Most day-care centers require parents to provide their own," she says. And without day care, parents can't look for work or go to school. Cloth diapers don't help, because low-income families tend not to have washing machines or cars to get to the Laundromat.

French commandos retook a yacht on April 10, killing two pirates. (One passenger was killed.) Last November, the Indian navy sank a pirate "mother ship" off Yemen. Favoring multilateralism over unilateralism often means favoring talk over action; maybe last week's operation is a sign that Obama is not so easily pigeonholed...
...sitcom starring Courtney Cox-Arquette as a divorcee on the prowl, is in the works at ABC, while “The Cougar,” a “Bachelorette” spin-off starring 20 20-somethings gaming for the affection of a 40-year old mother of four, airs weekly on TV Land. Sites like dateacougar.com offer a leopard-print infused twist on eHarmony; outside of the virtual world, cougar speed-dating presents further opportunities for felines to feast...
