    I like a presidential spouse who gets in there and talks about the issues.

    Baby-name remorse -- what do you do? - CNN.com

    Interesting that this article is about parents who regret names like Emma and Luke but none that REALLY name their kids with regrettable names ... sounds like their interviews were with a certain social segment.

    Quoted: Pauline and Jeffrey Eadie, of Cleveland, had gathered the family together to watch home movies of their two older children as babies. In one movie, Jack, now 5, was looking skeptically at his then-newborn sister, now 3. "In the video, I was saying, 'Jack, go to the baby, go hug her,'" says Pauline. "And then at some point I said, 'Go kiss Emma.'"

    Unaware that her name had been changed when she was a newborn, Pauline Eadie's daughter, Caroline, looked at her and asked 'Who's Emma?'"

    Giving birth becomes the latest job outsourced to India - CNN.com

    This is a bit worrisome ... I don't know that surrogacy is exactly the field where you want to give your business to the lowest bidder.

    Quoted: Every night in this quiet western Indian city, 15 pregnant women prepare for sleep in the spacious house they share, ascending the stairs in a procession of ballooned bellies, to bedrooms that become a landscape of soft hills.

    A team of maids, cooks and doctors looks after the women, whose pregnancies would be unusual anywhere else but are common here. The young mothers of Anand, a place famous for its milk, are pregnant with the children of infertile couples from around the world.

    Sunday School for Atheists - TIME

    This is a very interesting concept ... somewhere to teach "good" values that is not religious.

    Quoted: On Sunday mornings, most parents who don't believe in the Christian God, or any god at all, are probably making brunch or cheering at their kids' soccer game, or running errands or, with luck, sleeping in. Without religion, there's no need for church, right?
