The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it will be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District if the city doesn't change a proposed same-sex marriage law, a threat that could affect tens of thousands of people the church helps with adoption, homelessness and health care.

Media Ignores Women's Health Disparities in Shriver Report
The "battle of the sexes is over" claims the much-heralded Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything on American work and family life. Go ahead, take a victory lap. Unless, of course, you're among the millions of women who still earn 23 percent less on average in wages, pay 38 percent more for gender-rated health insurance or fear losing their jobs while trying to juggle disproportionate family responsibilities without flexible work schedules and reasonable family-leave policies.Who Killed California?

ALBANY, N.Y. – New York's top court is set to hear arguments against providing government benefits to same sex couples married in Canada or other jurisdictions where such marriages are legal.

The Whole Foods Alternative to ObamaCare Eight things we can do to improve health care without adding to the deficit. By JOHN MACKEY "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." —Margaret Thatcher With a projected $1.8 trillion deficit for 2009, several trillions more in deficits projected over the next decade, and with both Medicare and Social Security entitlement spending about to ratchet up several notches over the next 15 years as Baby Boomers become eligible for both, we are rapidly running out of other people's money.Mass. sues feds over definition of marriage
BOSTON – Massachusetts, the first state to legalize gay marriage, sued the U.S. government Wednesday over a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Pay-for-performance has come up a lot in the halls of Congress lately. The Pay for Performance Act, approved by the House in April, prohibits the payment of “unreasonable or excessive” compensation not based on performance by banks and other firms receiving federal bailout money. The White House wants performance-based pay for teachers; the plan received initial funding in the stimulus package and will be debated this fall.Emotionally unavailable: What it really means and how to get on the right path (FINISHED)
Emotional unavailability means that for whatever reason, you are choosing to honor protection of your heart instead of love. Protecting your heart is understandable, and sometimes even wise, if you need a period of strength building and rejuvenation between relationships or even while recovering from a life tragedy during a relationship. However, if you are in a relationship and still making yourself unavailable to love and be loved for an extended length if time, take a look at whether this defense mechanism—designed to protect you—is working against you by blocking the flow of love.
