...Employees Paid Parental Leave Act was reintroduced in the House of Representatives in a bid to raise maternal leave compensation from 12 weeks to six months. Though addressed mainly to those women for whom working is not a choice, the bill also responds to a larger issue: Namely, the stubborn remnants of a corporate culture that has yet to yield to maternal imperatives...
...have described yourself as stubborn. Does your husband find it exasperating to argue with you? My husband and I rarely argue. I want to tell you something interesting: I believe so strongly in equality that I have even filled my family life with it. My husband and I have two daughters. The elder looks like her mother but has chosen her father's profession--she is an engineer. My younger daughter looks like her father, but her character is like mine.

...Warioware, we play scenes from the upcoming Legend of Zelda title, Twilight Princess, a moody, dark (by Nintendo's Disneyesque standards) fantasy adventure.

The sensors are fine enough that you can scoop under the ball to lob it, or slice it for spin...
...UC’s second option is to abandon its own vetting process completely and open funding to all CCL-approved student groups.

When CCL approves a student group, it considers its membership policies with respect to the College’s non-discrimination policy and federal law, which makes exceptions for single-sex singing...
...That was what McClellan argued about Stanton. That he was stubborn, didn't listen, was arrogant. But what makes this such an unusual moment now is there's a number of people coming in short order, one right after another. It produces a kind of groundswell of opposition. There's also access to the media. At that time, newspapers had editorials calling for Stanton's resignation, but today people are on television shows and cable news and are able to express their views. It allows [the public] to really look at what they're saying and not dismiss...
