Kat sends this spiffy article by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman in the Washington Post, "Fixing the Economy? It's Women's Work."

Otherwise, it's a great article.

Dave Caputo and Positronic Design are pleased to announce the brand-new, completely redesigned, and transformed GlobalGayz.com!

Nice work Dave and Positronic Design!
