"If Congress passes the Paycheck Fairness Act, women are going to have access to more tools to claim equal pay for equal work. If they don’t, if Congress doesn’t act, then women are still going to have difficulty enforcing and pressing for this basic principle.
And we’ve got to understand this is more than just about fairness. Women are the breadwinners for a lot of families, and if they’re making less than men do for the same work, families are going to have to get by for less money for childcare and tuition and rent, small businesses have fewer customers. Everybody suffers."
Talking about ‘nothing’ and ‘something’ as concepts and the relevance to quantum electrodynamics and the origin of the universe is interesting.
Yelling at each other about whether or not God is exists is the epitome of boring.
Pelo Corto
Ricomincio da capo, tagliando il passato,
le speranze sono più forti quando il presente è accorciato,
il futuro parte dalla radice, non serve pettinarlo,
annaspa, ci prova, poi spunta e cresce
libero dalle norme.
I capelli indirizzano soltanto a binari chiusi?
O sono la libertà di chi tenendoli corti vuole sentirsi leggero/a
e la chioma che si fa aria nel vento, di chi li porta lunghi?Empiezo de nuevo, cortando el pasado, las esperanzas son más fuertes cuando el presente queda acortado el futuro empieza por la raíz, no hace falta peinarlo, el anda a tientas, lo intenta, y después se levanta y crece libre de las normas. ¿El pelo lleva solamente a binarios cerrados? ¿O es la libertad de quién, llevándolo corto, quiere sentirse liviano/a,y de quién, llevándolo largo, busca sentir el viento?
I start again, cutting the past, hopes are stronger when the present is shortened, the future begins at the root, no need to comb it, it flounders, it struggles, and after it rises and grows free from the rules. Is hair only confined to closed binaries? Or is the freedom for those who, wearing it short, wanting to feel lighter, and for those who, wearing it long, seek to feel the wind?

Almost two weeks ago, The Times-Picayune in New Orleans, which is owned by Advance Publications, announced that it would cut back its print schedule to just three days a week. Within hours, its sister publications The Birmingham News, The Press-Register of Mobile and The Huntsville Times followed suit. Four days later, Postmedia announced that three of its papers, The Calgary Herald, The Edmonton Journal and The Ottawa Citizen would all eliminate their Sunday editions.
Newspaper executives across the industry lament the loss of the daily print paper, but concede they might follow the same path. John Paton, chief executive officer of Digital First Media, which operates 75 daily newspapers, said he would consider reducing his print schedule when there was enough digital advertising to support it.
“I’m a career newspaperman. I feel the emotional tug. My father was a printer. I get it,” Mr. Paton said. “If you care about journalism, you’ve got to do this.”
By cutting back on print publishing, newspaper executives are betting they can wean loyal customers and advertisers from their daily print newspaper habit, while at the same time driving them to their own Web site. Some industry analysts warn that readers raised on a daily newspaper appearing at their door will lose a sense of loyalty if it arrives only a few days a week. It is like having CBS and NBC going dark on nights when they do not sell much advertising.
“It is risky because you do invite readers to go elsewhere,” said Craig Huber, an independent research analyst with Huber Research Partners. “It might drive more loyal print readers away from the newspaper as they’re looking for a consistent place to get their news seven days a week.”
