Boy who died of cancer gets police funeral
With Video
RIDGEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — A 10-year-old boy who had been named the town's honorary police chief was given a funeral with full police honors Tuesday, his flag-draped coffin arriving at church to the sound of bagpipes and leaving with a motorcycle escort.
"I lost a partner today," said Police Chief John Ward, fighting back tears as he emerged from the service.

Five people were arrested in Madison, Wisconsin at the Capitol yesterday, amid a march of thousands led by former Sen. Russ Feingold.
Wisconsin: Capitol Police Tackle, Arrest Members of the Press

State Rep in Wisconsin Tackled to the Ground by Police
|By: David Dayen Friday March 4, 2011 12:30 pm
The protests will look very different from what occurred over the past couple weeks. But protesters still have the moral high ground. Look no further for evidence of that than this appalling display last night, when Capitol Police forcefully tackled State Rep. Nick Milroy (D). The police said they thought he was one of the protesters. In fact, he was going to his office.
Wisconsin: Capitol Building Ordered Open During Business Hours, But Can Be Emptied at Night
|By: David Dayen Thursday March 3, 2011 6:28 pm
A dramatic few hours in the Capitol building in Madison. A Dane County court judge, John C. Albert, all Capitol access restrictions must be lifted by the Department of Administration. This allows open access to the Capitol for the public, including protesters, during business hours. Albert gave a deadline of March 8 at 8am (next Monday) for full implementation; if Gov. Walker and the DOA do not comply, they can be held in contempt of court. Albert also said in his ruling that there have been, based on his investigation, "no injuries or damage to personal or government property," which is a direct shot at the bogus claim of millions of dollars in damages.

Report from Wisconsin: Capitol Building Back Open in Madison
|By: David Dayen Tuesday March 1, 2011 9:15 am
According to the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, a state judge has issued a temporary restraining order that would open the Capitol building in Madison. It has been effectively closed since 8 am yesterday, with protesters unable to get inside and even attendees of a pubic hearing having to be escorted into the building.
Governor Walker delivers his budget address from the State Assembly today, and this ruling ensures that there will be many protesters in the building when he does so.
Wisconsin Capitol Building Still Closed; Other Madison Shenanigans Reported
|By: David Dayen Monday February 28, 2011 1:45 pm
What's going on in Wisconsin right now by the state Republicans is pretty unconscionable, when you add it all up. They're using some serious strong-arm tactics to break the protesters and the Senate Dems.
Capitol Police Blocking Access to Building in Madison
|By: David Dayen Monday February 28, 2011 8:40 am
Just got an alert from the Capitol City Leadership Committee (which is what the protesters who held the building last night have taken to calling themselves). The Capitol Police were supposed to open the building to the public at 8am. Two hours later they are still not letting anyone into the building. It's particularly cold out in Madison today, with big crowds outside trying to enter.
FDL Book Salon Welcomes Jocelyn Jones Evans, One Nation Under Siege: Congress, Terrorism, and the Fate of American Democracy
|By: Adam Serwer Saturday October 16, 2010 1:59 pm
Many books about terrorism begin with a personal anecdote about where the author was on 9/11. Political Scientist Jocelyn Jones Evans was working on the Hill when the planes hit and changed the course of American national security policy.
"For the first and only time in my life," she recalls, "I remember rolling down my windows to see and to hear the news for myself."
One Nation Under Siege though, isn't a book about policy. It's a book about how 9/11 and its aftermath changed the culture of Congress, and how those changes have affected the work of government and the American people's access to their own representatives. Drawing on dozens of interviews with Hill staff and legislators, Evans vividly depicts the impact of the threat of terrorism on congressional culture after 9/11 through a combination of narrative and political science.

York, PA---Mosley alum Cody Johnson is looking for work after being released by the Independent League team he was playing for, the York Revolution.
Cody, cut earlier this season by the Yank's Triple-A team in Scranton, was hoping to salvage his career in York.
He was hitting .268 with ten homers and 29 rbi in 47 games, though in his last ten games he was hitting under 200, and had 70 strikeouts in those 47 games. The Revolution cut him Sunday.
Johnson a first round pick by the Braves in 2006, was sold to the Yankees in 2010. For now he's out of baseball but told a reporter in York he still has the desire to play, adding "I want to do something I enjoy doing every single day, and that's why I play baseball. The last few years, that's turned into a job for me, and I'm trying to rediscover the joy in that…of it being a game, and a not a job, and that's hard."
He says he still believes can play and play well, needing an opportunity for every day at bats. We'll see if that opportunity arises.

Daniel Chauche: Visions of the Future Past in Guatemala
August 29, 2014 thru January 11, 2015The Sheldon Museum of Art is collaborating with Daniel Chauche to present the first museum exhibition of his photographs in the United States. Chauche, who has been photographing Guatemala since late 1975, presents a cultural, historical, and political narrative through his own unique gaze, creating images that are both anthropological and deeply personal.
Things Speak: Storied Objects from Lincoln Collections
September 16, 2014 through February 8, 2015An object is usually judged by its outward appearance and function, but its cultural value or significance is increased once the story associated with it is told. Things Speak emphasizes the power of objects and their stories. Institutions throughout Lincoln have selected extraordinary pieces from their collections for inclusion in this collaborative exhibition. The end result will be a diverse and unique presentation that conveys the importance of storytelling and highlights the cultural depth of the citys public collections.

the museum.

Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied online – interviewed at George Weston in September 2013.Interview Details
I was contacted to have a telephone interview by the Human Resources Coordinator and that was straight forward. She set up an interview for later that week in which I was to meet her and one of the lawyers. Instead I met her, 3 lawyers and one law clerk. After discussing the job with one lawyer HR began to ask many standard behavioral questions. At one point while answering I looked over at one of the lawyers and to my surprise he was leaning back in his chair, EYES CLOSED, with his hands folded on top of his head. HR continued to ask behavioral questions until I met the senior lawyer.
The most senior lawyer didn't ask me any questions about my qualifications but told me how he would describe himself before asking me how I would describe myself. He also took the time to ask where the Loblaws locations were in my neighbourhood. He then left the room without a handshake or backward glance while I said goodbye to him.
I sent a thank you note and a few days later, without acknowledging the note or saying thank you to me, HR asked for my references and then called them. I contacted her a few weeks later to find out about the status of my application and she said they were still interviewing. The job ad is still up two months later so I'm not sure why she was in such a hurry to check my references.Interview Questions

The Genetics Institute Impact: Some Great Memories and Photos
Luke Timmerman12/15/11
Follow @xconomy
(Page 7 of 21)
|The Genetics Institute Impact – Tuan Ha-Ngoc, the CEO of Aveo Pharmaceuticals, told the story of how Gabe Schmergel once insisted Ha-Ngoc fix a one-sided collaboration with GI's biggest corporate benefactor at the time, Baxter Healthcare. It was a daunting assignment, going up against such an important partner. He ended up turning a small royalty stream into a 40 percent split of the profits of one of Baxter's products.

Adrienne Macbeth, who headed the office for its first six years, concedes that the program has lost a sense of mission. "You look at the numbers and what it comes down to is that our minority criterion has outlived itself, at least in relation to Hispanics," says Macbeth, currently a deputy director with the city's Department of Solid Waste.
She says she's advised city commissioners, who review the office's activities annually, to redefine the program so that it aids all companies that are economically disadvantaged, not just those that fit into an ethnic category. "That's the way to level the playing field," she says. "But that notion doesn't appear to have political support." Peter Chin-Tai, she adds, is not the first Asian to lobby the council about the Minority/Women Business Affairs program. Back in 1989, an Indian engineer also came before the council, with equally frustrating results.
But Chin-Tai may be the first Asian to force the city commission's hand. He's determined to register his business with the Minority/Women's Business Affairs Office, and vows to sue if rejected.
"He's definitely got a case if they turn him down," says Dick Lee, the Taiwanese attorney representing Chin-Tai. "It's unconstitutional. We're going to try to convince the city to change the language in the ordinance. I was surprised to see this kind of an ordinance from Miami because it's supposed to be such an international community."
But Ron Williams, director of the Department of General Services Administration, which oversees the office, maintains that applications from Asian-owned businesses will not be accepted until the city's ordinance changes. "It's not a sticky issue," he insists. "The ordinance is plain and simple. Somebody else decides `minority' for us. We don't.

I've got a sweet Swobo jersey (got it last week and love it - thnx to all the provided the initial wash info). This week I've done three straight hour fifteen minute rides (T W TH) and haven't washed the jersey once. I'm also doing another one today. I do where an underarmour compression baselayer between skin and Swobo. When done riding the Swobo is definately wet from sweat, but not soaking. It also doesn't smell. What is the indicator that one needs to pop the jersey in the wash?
Also, a related question. How often, do y'all wash yer arm/leg warmers? After an hour or so ride, I just turn them inside out, and they seem like they'd be good to go for another couple of similar length rides.

The walkway to Baiting Hollow Free Library connects directly with Warner Drive: no parking lot, no parking spots.

And new librarian Thelma Stanza of Calverton plans on keeping that old-time charm. (more…)

A mandate for helicopters to stay off Long Island's north shore that was set to expire in August has been renewed by the federal government — though a loophole will still permit aircraft heading to the Hamptons to fly over the North Fork, and local representatives are still working to close it and force pilots to detour around Orient Point.
The goal of the renewed route, implemented by the Federal Aviation Administration in 2012, has been to reduce noise in residential areas that helicopters fly over on their ways to other locales on Long Island — namely, the Hamptons. The only way pilots can deviate from the route is for safety reasons, weather conditions, or if transitioning to or from a destination or point of landing.
But Southold Supervisor Scott Russell has said the last excuse to deviate from the plan hasn't brought the expected results to Southold he was hoping for. And after U.S. Senator Charles Schumer and Congressman Tim Bishop issued a joint statement last week announcing that the current route was extended — and not expanded to require flights to head around Orient Point — Mr. Russell called the oversight of Southold residents "deplorable."
"Quite candidly, our federally-elected representatives just sold us out for the interests of western Long Island," he said. "This is a disaster for Southold."
Mr. Schumer and Mr. Bishop said last week that the current route — which towns to the west of Southold have embraced — has been extended for another two years, and the two are working to make it permanent. The announcement came weeks after the two stated that they were attempting to get an extension on the current route requirements, while also pushing for an expansion to require flights to go around Orient Point.
The route requires every helicopter operating along Long Island between Visual Point Lloyd Harbor (VPLYD), located 20 miles north of LaGuardia Airport, and Orient Point to fly one mile off the north shore.
If pilots do not follow the route, they may face fines or have their pilots' license revoked.
"Luckily for Long Island residents, the beginning of August will not also mean the return of onerous helicopter noise that once interrupted dinners, disrupted people enjoying their backyards and had an effect on quality of life and on property values," Mr. Schumer said in a release.
Mr. Russell said on Tuesday that last week's announcement was indeed good news for those on the western part of Long Island, and shrugged off any suggestion that it might have anything to do with the political make-up of Southold's Town Board — which has no elected Democrats on it.
"This isn't a partisan issue. This is an East versus West issue," he said. "The lesser populated East End simply has less clout at the voting booth."
While expressing satisfaction for the current route's extension, both Mr. Schumer and Mr. Bishop stated that they hope to see further results and relief for Southold residents.
"It is my sincere hope that FAA will continue to review ways to minimize the reach of noise pollution," he stated.
Mr. Russell said he would be reaching out to Mr. Bishop's office this week to try to remedy the issue for Southold residents.

Sue Sylvester Hates Diane Sawyerby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
There's one person not included in the recently-released photos from Glee's upcoming Super Bowl episode: Katie Couric.
The CBS news anchor will make a cameo on the February 6 installment, interviewing Sue Sylvester following a series of unfortunate events for that cheerleading coach.
It's just one brief scene in the video below, which features a number of clips from "Thriller." Near the end of the promo, Sylvester makes her feelings on the journalist known: she hates her, and also isn't really sure who she is...
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Glee, Spoilers
Maybe in Australia you have channels where she hosts (my sister lives in Sydney and she tells me there are a lot of American shows aired there). I know her name but we have absolutely no shows with her on here (though we have loads of American shows), I don't know what she hosts/stars in, doesn't make us naive just means she does nothing on or for UK tv, and I'm sure she doesn't do a lot of other international shows either.
I've been to plenty of other countries and not seen her on tv there either. I've only seen her do maybe one or two cameos on sitcoms (though the only one I can recall is 'Will & Grace' and the only reason that stood out was they kept shrieking her name) before but not knowing who she was and only hearing the stars of the show did not make her suddenly a household name.
Doesn't make anyone naive who hasn't heard of her, or maybe has but has no reason to class her as a celeb as they've never seen anything she does.
Fact is she's not an internationally known celeb or at least as internationally famous, she's a big US star. We have lots of big name stars (as I'm sure you do in Australia too) in the UK, but many mean nothing to an international audience.
I can tell you now, and it won't be just me, but the vast majority of the UK audience will not know who she is and the cameo will mean nothing to them, if they even notice it at all.
Actually I'm from Australia and I know who Katie Couric is. Either we're more informed over here or you're naive. Take your pick :)
Blaine looks intimidated after seeing the Thriller/Heads Will Roll mash-up. Can't wait :D
Hahahahahha GiO. It's true. She's too good for me! XD
Sue's not the only one, those outside the US don't have a clue who she is either.
she'll make the show.
Aries93, the question is: would Sue Sylvester marry YOU? =D
I actually love Sue Sylvester to the extent that I would marry her.

One of the best hotels we have used in Catalonia
The location nearby the sea, the calm, the view from the terrace, the spacious room, the personnel
The breakfast was poor, not enough choise
Cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in!
The town itself is a bit naf!
Fillet steak was lovely
location and view was lovely and the hotel was clean and modern.
restaurant didn,t open until 9pm .
Very helpfull staff with attention to detail, made our short stay of 4 nights a wonderful break. We'll recommend to everyone. Thanks .
General hotel was ok could not get near pool
Dinner served very late put us off Hotel would never go there again because meals are out of time zone of most EU travellers
The location, the spacious, clean room and bathroom, and the view from the room.
Beautiful large room with view of both pool and sea from balcony. Great restaurant lovely fish menus.
Only minus dinner wasn't served until 9 o'clock. We do know, however, this is normal in this area.
hotel next to quiet beaches, breakfast buffet fair, hotel in general excellent, adjacent restaurant with superb food
nothing to dislike
Super clean Hotel. Very comfy bed. Nicely furnished bedroom with lots of space. Fantastic view from balcony. Excellent food and good value considering the quality. We tried other places to eat, but not as good as the Hotel. Breakfast good too - fresh orange juice maker a very nice touch.
Reception staff spoke excellent English, restaurant staff didn't, hard to communicate want we wanted. Pool unheated and very cold.
Maybe could do with a dedicated bar when restaurant closed not just at reception.
The whole experience. The staff were so very helpful and friendly
Location is good, next to the beach, the city and the harbour. Parking OK. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Pleasant room, nice view, comfortable. Very good food. Remarkable: we were in the same hotel 18 years ago, and now we found on the new location the same friendliness and the good restaurant!
Room,bath and bed very good.
Tv and above all breakfast.
Very beautiful facilities,with few steps to the beach. The rooms are very beautifully designed and very spacious. A perfect place to relax.
The lady at the front disk only speaks "few" words of English. If you don't know where it is -you may find it out of the way.You definitley will need a car to get there.
All of it, especially the food and the service.
An absolute gem to be found on Booking.com. Junior suite was spacious with a large balkony overlooking the garden, swimmingpool and Mediterranean Sea, food was absolutely great. Staying here was a real jot!
Staff very friendly, a quiet relaxing Spanish experience

AAA Michigan Supports Cell Phone Ban, Bill Headed To Governor's Desk
DEARBORN, Mich., Dec. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AAA Michigan strongly supports legislation which passed the Michigan Legislature early today to prohibit novice teen drivers from talking on cell phones while driving. Senate Bill 756, which was passed earlier this year by the Michigan Senate, was passed today by the Michigan House with a 74-33 vote. The bill is headed to Governor Rick Snyder for his consideration.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110321/CL67889LOGO )
Under the legislation, teenage drivers with a Level 1 or 2 license will have to comply with cell phone restrictions. The only exemptions would be allowing new teen drivers to report a crash, emergency or crime. Numerous studies have shown that new teen drivers are far more likely to be involved in cell phone-related crashes than older, more experienced drivers.
The bill would allow police to issue a civil infraction to teens who are in violation of the new law. AAA Michigan encourages the passage of the law, referred to as "Kelsey's Law," named for Kelsey Raffaele, a 17-year-old Michigan resident who was killed while talking on her cell phone and driving.To help new teen drivers – and their parents – AAA offers a web site, TeenDriving.AAA.com. This comprehensive resource provides extensive state-specific information and useful tools to help teens improve their driving skills. New drivers will find interactive exercises, quizzes and games as well as videos of experts and teens talking about safety. The site includes a downloadable parent-teen driving agreement.

Guide to Free Online College Classes for High School Student
Open courseware is a simple idea: Take all of the material that goes into an online course, from a syllabus to lecture notes to media recordings to lab guides, and make it available to students and the general public for free. These courses cover a huge span of topics, from English literature to chemical engineering. For instance, MIT's open courseware site contains hundreds of free online college classes, open to all who are interested. While these courses don't transfer for credit, a free college-level course can give you a leg up not only because of the material you'll learn, but also because you gain experience with college syllabi and learn what will be expected of you in your college courses. Take a look at the list of open courseware programs below and explore those that match your interests and educational goals.
Get Ahead with Introductory College Classes
In your first two years of college, you will need to take a wide range of courses in many topics. Even if you already know what you'd like to study, some colleges won't let you choose a major until you have completed a semester or two of coursework. In many cases, you will also have to take placement tests. Open courseware can help prepare you for these tests, which can earn you credit for demonstrating advanced knowledge. Failing a placement test may mean you have to take remedial courses, particularly in mathematics.
A typical course of study requires you complete a math course, several English composition courses, two natural science courses, several history and government classes, some foreign language study, and several additional electives in art or social science. Studying the material in these courses can help you test out of many prerequisites, in addition to increasing your knowledge of the material in courses that you do take. Unlike traditional and online college classes for credit, open courseware costs nothing beyond your time and willingness to learn. Another advantage of open courseware is that it lets you try a particular course or topic at no cost, so if you find it doesn't suit your interests or is likely to impact your grade-point average, you can pursue another topic. Explore the selection of open courses below, which cover a diverse array of topics likely to come up in your first two years of study.
Arts Open Courseware
Use these courses to prepare for your college arts classes.
Presented By: John S. McNamara – University of California at Berkeley
Released on YouTube in 2013, this lecture series is organized to introduce you to the languages, processes, and media of visual art, including theoretical topics such as appropriation and recontextualization, as well as a study of specific methods. The material is available through YouTube; as such, you only need a browser and computer capable of playing YouTube videos to benefit from the material.
Introduction to Classical Music
Presented By: Kevin Korsyn – University of Michigan
This eight-week program started in 2013 and introduces you to the history of classical music of the 18th and 19th centuries as well as the musical theory that informed it.

Presented By: Don and Dave Megill – MiraCosta College
First developed in 2004, this course is uniquely focused on developing your ability to distinguish and understand musical tones and rhythms.

So far they have worked great, towed all over the west coast and Baja with only one flat due to a bolt in the tread.
Love the Toyo Tuff Duty's. The front tires aren't rounding off the shoulders like other tires have done on my truck. Will definitely be buying these again, but it's going to be a while, as the tread life seems to be excellent. 10k miles so far & hardly any wear.
Driven about 7500 miles on tires since purchase. Have no complaints. I do hear a little road noise from the tire but it's not bd t all. Tow a heavy fifth wheel trailer and it's good to have a tough tire on the truck to withstand all the different road conditions. Tire crawler company did great job getting tires to me.
These tires look and handle great,low noise, so far no complaint, really like these tires.
Good quiet steady ride this is my second set
I'm very happy with my Toyo truck tires purchased from Tire Crawler! Great value for the $!
Good tires

Rachel Streiff doesn't skip a beat. The Chandler engineer is explaining the semiconductor industry when the baby in her lap wakes and cries. "I'm going to breast feed. Do you mind?" she asks. In a few deft seconds, 4-month-old Jeannine is happily feeding beneath a blanket. "It's just motherhood," Streiff says with a chuckle, and the mother of four is back on track.
Rachel Streiff doesn't skip a beat. The Chandler engineer is explaining the semiconductor industry when the baby in her lap wakes and cries. "I'm going to breast feed. Do you mind?" she asks. In a few deft seconds, 4-month-old Jeannine is happily feeding beneath a blanket. "It's just motherhood," Streiff says with a chuckle, and the mother of four is back on track.
Megan Thiel has been back in her office at Snell & Wilmer for a few months, now. In January, the Phoenix attorney added a tiny client named Drew, who grins toothlessly from pictures on her wall. "I'm very much a planner," says Thiel, smiling at the pictures, "Drew is teaching me that things don't always go as planned."
Working moms are forever switching hats. But their hardest transition may be their first, weaning themselves away from the job to manage birth and early infancy. So how does one build a maternity leave? What legal and company resources are out there? And what helps working moms solvent and sane as they hop between nurturing and networking?
Ramping up...
Maternity leaves require advance planning, but don't jump the gun. "Most miscarriages happen in the first three months," says Thiel. "So, it's good to wait until you're out of the woods before you start making arrangements." Arrangements begin with the Family Medical Leave Act. The 1993 law requires large companies to allow employees up to 12 weeks for maternity leave. An employee who has a baby and returns in that time cannot legally lose her job.
"But that's just basic, unpaid leave," says Streiff. Families often struggle to offset the lost income. Many employers cover pregnancy under short-term disability: "Six weeks is the standard short-term disability period for a vaginal birth," she says. "Eight weeks for a C-section." These make up a portion of the lost earnings, and working mothers cobble sick, personal and vacation days together to fill out the rest.
Some companies, like Thiel's, offer paid maternity leave. Her challenge was scheduling. "I wanted to work right up until I had Drew," she says. "If you can do it that way, it means more time with the baby after he's born." Most babies don't call ahead. So moms must build a plan that identifies upcoming tasks, delegates them responsibly and allows for abrupt departure.
Barb Dawson, a partner at Thiel's law firm, says maternity leaves are case-specific. But they all require extensive consultation. "The working parts are sorted out between you, your supervisor and co-workers," she says. "You need a plan that will satisfy their needs, and work with everyone's schedule."
Other working moms were Theil's most valuable resource. "I talked to them to get a sense of what they'd gone through," she says. Her plan balanced frequent updates with smaller tasks as her due date neared. "About a month out, I took on more short-term projects, that only required a few days' time. At our weekly group meeting, I let (co-workers) know where I was on each one."
Communication and scheduling are valuable tools. So is technology. "When I found out I was pregnant with this one, I made it a priority to get really good at telecommuting," says Streiff. Her job had many tasks that could be performed off-site. So she lobbied for a home computer. "There's a stigma when people hear you're working from home, like you're not really working," she says. "I made it my mission to prove I could be effective, and I started during my pregnancy."
Home computers, e-mail and Blackberries allow new mother to touch base on their own terms.
"We get daily e-mail updates on my area of the law," says Thiel. "I didn't want all of those hanging over my head when I got back. So I'd check e-mail from home, just 10-15 minutes a day."
Occasional check-ins can also be a welcome diversion. "Being home with a baby is physically challenging, but your head can go soft," says Streiff with a laugh. "It can be tough to get back to interacting with the real world."
... And rolling back
Few things are trickier than leaving the workplace for the nursery. But going back might be one of them.
"It's hard," says Thiel. "That first week, I was always calling: 'When did he get up?' 'What did he eat?'" Many return to work gradually. "I came in for three days, the week before my leave was up. I did that for two reasons: I wanted some time away from the baby, so I wouldn't be all of a sudden 'gone.' And I wanted to get back to getting myself up in the morning and out the door."
"With your first child, going back is the hardest part," says Streiff. "After a few kids, staying away can be harder. I remember going to an employee lunch, about halfway through my first maternity leave. Everybody there seemed to be talking so fast."
Strieff spent five months after Jeannine's birth working 20 hours a week, mostly from home. She returned to Motorola/Freescale full-time in June. "If you can personalize a plan, that's great," she says. "I'm lucky I have an employer that allows me to be flexible."
She has learned that planning doesn't stop when mom returns to work. "You need a strategy for that entire first year: What provisions can you make if you breast feed? What are you doing about day care? If the kids get sick and you have to leave, do you have backup? At the same time, new mothers have to take care of themselves. Sleep, nutrition, vitamins. Because if Mom falls apart, it's the end of the world."
Sound daunting? "It is totally doable," says Streiff, holding her baby on her hip. "I tell employers, 'That's the benefit of working moms. We are superior multi-taskers. My day is bounded by child care, I may not work the late hours other people do. But I am a multi-tasker by necessity."
National Nurturing Next to Nil
While maternity leaves have gotten considerably easier since the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act in 1993, our country still has a long way to go. A recent study by Harvard and McGill universities surveyed 173 countries and found only five did not guarantee some kind of paid maternity leave. The United States brings up the rear in maternal and parental leave policies, sharing the honor with Lesotho, Swaziland, Liberia and Papua New Guinea.
Some other family amenities, available over the border or across the pond:
Canada: Our neighbors to the North pay expectant mothers 55 percent of their salary (up to $413 a week) for 15 weeks. Expectant mothers (or partners) are also eligible for an additional 35 weeks of paid parental leave.
