Angelina Jolie's decision last month to go public with her double mastectomy sparked a wide range of opinions and discussions on preventative measures to fight cancer; with many calling the actress's decision "brave." One of those to disagree with that word is Melissa Etheridge, who in a
recent interview with the Washington Blade, said she would not have taken such drastic measures.

Lululemon CEO Christine Day is stepping down and that means that now is your chance to step in and lead the yoga wear company. The company has had a rough go of it lately; in March, the company had to recall the
black Luon yoga pant because it was too sheer. There’s nothing like striking a twisting yoga pose in sheer pants and not knowing that you’re giving the folks behind you a free show.

There have been countless articles, plenty of celebrity gossip and even (naturally) a TV show about bridezillas, but as more men get involved in planning their wedding days, the control-freak tendencies of brides are now (also) getting shared with the guys. With couples both working and quite often paying for their own nuptial celebrations, the trend towards guys getting into (and sometimes even taking over) planning has come to the fore.

It’s been 100 days since Pope Francis became the first non-European pontiff since the eighth century, and the man hasn’t disappointed. We knew Pope Francis wasn’t going to earn a nickname like his immediate predecessor, who was known as the Prada Pope for his indulgent taste. As the former archbishop of Argentina, Pope Francis chose a simple apartment and gave up a limousine for the bus.

In 539 B.C., the armies of Cyrus the Great conquered the city of Babylon. But rather than rape and pillage, Cyrus freed the slaves, declared freedom of religion and established racial equality. These and other decrees were recorded in cuneiform on a baked-clay cylinder now known as the Cyrus Cylinder. It is generally considered the world’s first charter of human rights.

When Kenny McLean and his brothers had to take down their backyard pool, they didn't slowly drain the water before taking down the panels and folding up the liner. No — they drove their Jeep into it.
They built a perfunctory ramp made up of a few grossly overmatched wood pallets, packed their Jeep full of friends, and then ...
Well, and then you should just watch what happens yourself.

Every year, you hear those horrible stories on the news. Stories of mothers who forgot that their baby was in the backseat of the car when they headed off to work. Stories of dads who didn't realize those scalding hot belt buckles were actually leaving burn marks on their kids. Or on the less traumatic end of things — stories of families on vacation who got so sunburned on the car ride to the beach that they couldn't even enjoy the waves.

The management team at Sushi Yasuda in New York City made a bold move when they
banned tipping in favor of paying the wait staff a salary. This sounds like a great plan; diners don’t have to figure out a gratuity and servers are guaranteed a fixed income, regardless of how slow or busy the restaurant is. But, is this a direction that the entire industry should take?

Just this morning, my 10-year-old daughter, who had previously shown little interest in driving, started asking me questions about how things work behind the wheel. From brakes to steering to shifting, she wanted to know how it all went together. I was surprised by her interest and more than a little freaked out by the notion of my little girl driving a car. I consoled myself with the fact that we still have several years to go before any of this becomes a reality.
Or do we?

Justice and fairness have long been a part of how America defines itself. While policies over the course of this country's history have been racist, sexist and problematic in many ways, there is a real and serious commitment (however flawed) to be as free and equal as we idealize ourselves to be. And so, a public reveal and subsequent shaming of what we as a society see as wrong has always been a popular subject. But it's rarely asked whether embarrassing someone in public is really effective — or if it just makes us feel better.
