Obamas at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Dedication

As we near the end of October we continue to dig into our favorite reads for National Book Month, support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and get excited to trick or treat on Halloween. This week was a shaky one, as the Bay Area experienced some earthquakes, Occupy Wall Street went through growing pains, and a handful of celebrities and world leaders made some big announcements. While we were happy to see actor Zachary Quinto come out about his homosexuality and Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni welcome a baby girl, we were sad to hear that Giuliana Rancic has breast cancer. See more highs and lows from the past seven days now.
