Gen Y women outearning their peers For decades, women have been trying to close the wage gap with men, who still earn more than their female peers with the same level of education. But one group -- young, single women with no children -- has closed that gap and is pulling ahead of their male counterparts. An analysis of census data by consumer research firm Reach Advisors found that women between the ages of 22 and 30, without children, had bigger paychecks in 2008 than their male peers in 47 of the 50 largest U.S. cities. Their wages were 8 percent higher, on average, but varied considerably from one city to the next.

Stephanie Imbeau ArtPrize Artist Stephanie’s artwork is the product of her exploration of community, belonging, and the role that architecture plays in contextualizing life. She is interested in how homes and the built environment affect the way people live and interact with others. Play and exploration also have significant roles in her work, as she feels that retaining a sense of child-like wonder when looking at the world is important and an effective antidote to the stresses and anxieties faced in life. The use of industrial or everyday materials is a recurring theme throughout her work, pointing at the importance, beauty and significance of daily life. She will be creating an umbrella sculpture for ArtPrize and she needs your help! To donate an umbrella, bring it to the Peaches Bed & Breakfast.

SOUTH PACIFIC doesn't just float; it soars!"

Retargeting Ads Follow Surfers to Other Sites The shoes that Julie Matlin recently saw on Zappos.com were kind of cute, or so she thought. But Ms. Matlin wasn’t ready to buy and left the site.

President Obama's religion -- and how or where he worships -- is all over the news and bets were on that he would/would not worship Sunday at one of the 17 Protestant churches on Martha's Vineyard. He evidently didn't. And that makes him just like nearly half of U.S. adults who the Gallup Poll found in its May/June survey seldom (25%) or never (20%) attend weekend worship at a church, synagogue or mosque.
