...last straw for April Burnette-Dubose of Pembroke Pines, Fla., came one morning when she was 30 weeks pregnant. She had a prenatal doctor's appointment scheduled for 9:20 a.m., but wasn't seen until 11. The obstetrician had just left to deliver a baby, they told her. Which would have been understandable, had the same thing not happened at her three previous appointments. Her own doctor was never available at that practice, says Burnette-Dubose, 33, an attorney, and no one ever apologized for making her wait. Worse, her appointments rarely lasted longer than 5 minutes. She sensed...
...goodbye to the less exalted characters of the cinema's winter and early spring: the Asian-American dopers and slacker documentarians, the weepie men and baby mamas, the caveman hunters and Boleyn sisters, the chronically unmarried or uncomfortably pregnant or serial-killer imperiled women - you'll hardly be seeing any women at all in star roles. Even Judd Apatow and his goofball satyrs are taking a break. (The reigning producer of R-rated comedy has two movies opening toward the shank of the summer.) Fallible, ordinarily engaging, human-size, earthbound characters just don't measure up when the weather turns...
...theme song goes, "the best of both worlds": a big-girl pop-star story scrubbed of the scary Britneyness. When parents see Cyrus' bedroom eyes or Internet pictures of her flashing her bra, they feel--just as when Zoey 101's 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant--baited and switched...

HUDS’ main meat wholesaler, US Foodservice, doesn’t enforce meaningful humane standards on its producers, with the result that pork can come from pregnant sows confined in crates so narrow they can’t turn around and chicken from slaughterhouses with no humane slaughter laws. In such conditions, antibiotics are the only way to keep animals alive, and farm antibiotic overuse is diluting the efficacy of human medicines...
...amount of disappointments that people come to me with are the ones they're afraid to talk to their friends about, because it would sound trite. For example, "My boyfriend broke up with me and I thought we were going to get married." Or "I thought I would get pregnant easily and I can't." "I felt my husband would be different." "I thought my job would give me meaning, and it just gives me boredom." Because they feel guilty for coming to me, they start like this: "There are children starving in Africa, Rabbi, so I feel a little...
