Employee misconduct investigations, often involving workers accessing pornography from their government computers, grew sixfold last year inside the taxpayer-funded foundation that doles out billions of dollars of scientific research grants, according to budget documents and other records obtained by The Washington Times.
The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency's inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.
State to mom: Stop baby-sitting neighbors' kids
Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school. Regulators who oversee child care, however, don't see it as charity. Days after the start of the new school year, Snyder received a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning her that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers.Migraines
A migraine is a severe, debilitating form of headache that typically appears as a throbbing ache near the side of the forehead. Over time, the ache often intensifies to a disabling pain. Migraines are usually a chronic condition, occurring repeatedly throughout a person’s life.Interview with a stripper
I interviewed a stripper at a strip club, so yes I went to a strip club; it was my second time at a strip club but a different one. I went there because I wanted to interview one of the girls there. I found one; she was nice and told me a bunch of stuff.Wedded to Work, and in Dire Need of a Wife
Oh the conflict of a woman's responsibilities.
Granted I am not at the age of marriage or raising a family yet, I will soon be in only a matter of a couple of years. So when I told my female cousins (who are all married with children) how I would want to head back to work after having a child, they laughed and said "that's what we all said before we got pregnant."
Atlanta Magazine Gets Personal with the "Housewives"
The Real Housewives of Atlanta tell all—including what they think of the allegations they’re not “real Atlanta society”
From comments spurred by my past posts (one, detailing the bios of the Atlanta Housewives, here; and another, detailing why I think the Atlanta version will be absolutely enthralling to watch, here), it seems that there are people here in “The City Too Busy to Hate” with plenty of time to hate, especially when it comes to whether or not these women represent Atlanta (generally) and its moneyed society (specifically). So when I interviewed the Housewives last week, I gave them a chance to offer a rebuttal, along with a lot of juicy information about what we’ll be seeing this seven-episode season, from the brouhaha over Big Papa’s real identity to which housewife is going to be the “bitch” of the show.
The women—Nene Leakes, Lisa Wu Hartwell, Kim Zociak, Sheree Whitfield, and DeShawn Snow (all at right)—were interviewed separately, but I asked many of them similar questions.
