The dissemination of birth control was only one of a host of interventions into the intimate and everyday practices of ordinary Egyptians that aimed at creating reformed and modernized families and productive citizens. [...] the adoption of a population program based on contraception entailed the recognition of Egyptian women as reproductive subjects for whom using birth control was to constitute part of the duties of citizenship even as it simultaneously delineated the normative parameters within which reproductive choice could be exercised.

Clean Air Act Needed in Countryside, Not Just in Metro Areas: Citing Health Concerns, New Report Calls For End of Pollution Exemptions for Livestock Operations; Major Pollution Exposures Detailed At Mega-Farming Operations Across U.S., Including CA, IN, IA and NC.
WASHINGTON, March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- New federal and industry data show that the air at some factory farm test sites in the U.S. is dirtier than in America's most polluted cities and exposes workers to concentrations of pollutants far above occupational safety guidelines, according to a new report from the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP).

The Wolf Creek Restaurant & Brewing Company in a quiet area of Calabasas is like finding a needle in a haystack. At one end of a new, still partially vacant shopping center, it features a menu ever- so slightly reminiscent of The Cheesecake Factory, but pared down and with different tweaks and twists. Not as surprising is that the husband-wife team, Laina and Rob McFerren, founders/owners/ operators, worked there several years ago before venturing out on their own.
The guacamole and brie crostini ($8.50) appetizer reminded of a favorite formerly served at The Cheesecake Factory, and no doubt that was the inspiration. Diagonal bread slices spread with guacamaole came topped with melted brie slices (rind on) and sprinkled with a few julienne strips of sun-dried tomatoes. Arranged spoke fa...

Perhaps it's a side effect of having rational thought, but the cube has held a fascination for humans throughout history. The 20th century, particularly, was affected. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began their avant-garde Cubist collaboration in 1907. Sixty years later, in 1967, "Action Office II," invented by Robert Propst, was released by Herman Miller Inc. It is credited as being the first office cubicle. And in 1980, the Rubik's Cube, invented by Erno Rubik in 1974, came to Western markets and was an immediate hit.
So it is that Chris Craychee's installation, "X3: Cubic Influence on Western Culture and the Collective Unconscious, 1637-1995," on display at the Mattress Factory, is a representation of the cubic influence by way of the burned portraiture of six men -- Pierre de Ferm...

The National Labor Relations Board, dominated by Democratic appointees, says airplane manufacturer Boeing can build a new plant in China, but not in South Carolina. The expanded plant in China will provide jobs to more than 1,000 Chinese workers.
The South Carolina plant cost $750 million to build. The plant has received incentives and tax breaks from the state that could add up to $900 million if employment reaches 5,000.
