'Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced the release of more than $68 million to ensure that women, infants, children, and youth living with HIV/AIDS receive comprehensive primary HIV medical care and support services.

The grants, funded through the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, help people who lack sufficient health care coverage or financial resources to manage HIV.

“With these investments, we’re targeting our resources to the communities that need them most,” Secretary Sebelius said. “This will help women, infants and children with HIV get the care and treatment they need by increasing access to comprehensive, coordinated primary care.”'

'I'm sure you've tried to forget it, but - for the sake of men everywhere - let me recap: after a 16-year marriage with no children, your third wife, Faye Eichelberger, ended up with a settlement that made her (quite literally) richer than you.

Not only will you have to pay her £600,000 a year until 2016 (even though you're now technically a pensioner and she's a successful therapist), you also had to give her £8 million in cash, plus assets which included: an apartment in New York, a £2 million home in London and half a beach house in California.

Why? Because you're a man.'

'The top Homeland Security official accused of cultivating a "frat-house"-style work environment has "voluntarily placed herself on leave" amid an internal review, the department told FoxNews.com late Tuesday evening -- just hours after FoxNews.com contacted the agency about new allegations against her.

The official, Suzanne Barr, is chief of staff for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Two more ICE employees came forward this week to complain about "lewd" conduct inside the agency, submitting sworn affidavits that depict graphic comments made by two top officials working under DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.'

'Saudi Arabia has a problem: The Persian Gulf kingdom has an increasingly educated, increasingly unemployed female population and ultraconservative laws and customs that forbid women from mingling, much less working, with men. The Saudis are fashioning an unusual solution, building an industrial city that will allow only women. The female-only zone is scheduled to open in the Eastern Province city of Hofuf next year, with more ladies-only areas to come in Riyadh, the capital. How do these cities-inside-a-city work, and are they good for women?'

'A 33-year-old Pennsylvania woman could spend the rest of her life in prison after admitting to police that she repeatedly poisoned her boyfriend with Visine eye drops for more than three years in a bid for his attention.

Vickie Jo Mills of Ayr Township, Pa., was arrested Thursday and charged with 10 counts of aggravated assault, 10 counts of simple assault and 10 counts of reckless endangerment after she told authorities she slipped Visine eye drops into the drinking water of her boyfriend, 45-year-old Thurman Edgar Nesbitt III.
...
Nesbitt had been sick for years with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and blood pressure and breathing problems, according to police. His doctor, Dr. Harry Johnston, alerted authorities in after detecting traces of tetrahydrozoline, a chemical found in eye drops, in Nesbitt's blood tests.'

'WASHINGTON, Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victim-advocacy group Stop Abusive and Violent Environments (SAVE) is charging the White House with politicizing the issue of violence. SAVE says Obama's executive order "Preventing and Responding to Violence Against Women and Girls Globally" marginalizes and ignores the suffering of male victims of violence.

According to the World Health Organization, men are twice as likely to die of violence as women. Globally, violence accounts for 14% of male deaths and 7% of female deaths.'

A lawsuit has been filed in the US against Israeli Government officials for institutional discrimination against men. This is probably the most comprehensive lawsuit ever filed in a court anywhere in the world with regards to men's rights. The lawsuit attacks the institutionalized discrimination against men as a whole.

'A woman depressed and suffering "abnormality of mind" when she left her baby daughter in a bath to drown could be free in less than two months.

The 27-year-old, who can't be named, was sentenced in the Supreme Court in Sydney on Wednesday to a maximum five years in prison with a non-parole period of three years and two months.

She has been in custody since her arrest on August 10, 2009 and could possibly get out of jail on October 9.

In sentencing the woman, Acting Justice Michael Grove said a series of events led to her placing the 17-month-old into a bath and turning on the taps at her Gwynneville unit near Wollongong on July 21, 2009.

While he found she foresaw the probability of her daughter's death, she was suffering from such an "abnormality of the mind" that her capacity to control herself or understand whether her actions were right or wrong was "substantially impaired".'

'It's a hell of a thing putting an unaccompanied kid onto an airline flight. I've done it. For the kid it's hugely exciting (if they're the adventurous sort). For the parent it's a Kafkaesque nightmare of form-filling and fiery hoop-jumping.
...
Right now, every time an airline like Qantas or Virgin moves a male passenger away from an unaccompanied child for no reason other than his being a male, they break the law. Or rather, they breach the Anti-Discrimination Act, for which penalties do apply. If he was drunk, abusive, or maybe if the unaccompanied children's parents or guardians had requested a specific seating arrangement for the flight, then the airlines would be in the clear. (A lawyer will doubtless set me straight on that last one). But to maintain a policy of moving passengers simply on the basis of gender is not legal.

'Washington (CNN) -- An Australian airline's policy prohibiting male passengers from sitting next to kids traveling alone has fueled a social media firestorm and caused the company to review the rule.
...
Virgin Australia's policy to prevent men from sitting next to the unaccompanied minors has supporters, including John Shehan of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in the United States.
...
"We're trying to prevent child victimization," he said. "We know the overwhelming majority of sex offenders are male, so by removing that situation you're lowering the risk."

Australian airline Qantas also has come under fire for a similar policy prohibiting men from sitting next to unaccompanied minors. The airline declined to comment.'

'Over at Jezebel, Katie J. M. Baker has a response to my Bloomberg View column on the gender pay gap that is heavy on personal attacks and light on logic. The first four paragraphs consist of nothing but such attacks and misrepresentations of my argument; the fifth of an excerpt from the column; the sixth goes back to personal attacks. (My face is “smug,” and apparently arouses a desire to “smack” it, at least in feminists who are incapable of mustering actual arguments against what I have to say.)

'The Israel Ambulatory Pediatric Association is calling for an end to a controversial circumcision-related rite that is also under fire in New York.

Direct oral-genital suction, known as metzitzah b’peh, should not be performed during Jewish ritual circumcision, the IAPA said. The association is calling on Israel’s Health Ministry to require maternity wards and clinics to advise parents against metzitzah b’peh, Israeli media reported.

IAPA is recommending that mohels, or ritual circumcisers, use a tube to take the blood from the circumcision wound, preventing direct contact with the infant’s incision.'

'WASHINGTON — The number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement workers who claimed they faced retaliation from superiors has more than doubled since Janet Napolitano took over, according to data obtained by The Post.

The stats — which also show an increase in sexual-harassment claims — come as James Hayes, a senior law-enforcement official, moves ahead with a lawsuit charging he faced a “hostile work environment” in which male employees face discrimination under Napolitano, who oversees ICE as head of Homeland Security.

Hayes, who also said higher-ups created a “frat-house” atmosphere, claims agency bosses tried to intimidate him by opening several investigations of his own conduct after he filed a complaint.'

'It’s a staple of feminist rhetoric: Women make less money than men because of discrimination.

“We’d all like to think, in 2012, that pay discrimination is a thing of the past,” the progressive activist Joy Lawson wrote in the Huffington Post recently. “But the pay gap still exists, and it’s big: women earn an average of 77 cents on a man’s dollar.”

April 17 has been designated Equal Pay Day: Supposedly that’s how long women have to work to catch up to men’s pay from the previous year.

U.S. President Barack Obama has cited a similar statistic to promote legislation to make it easier to sue employers for discrimination. Democrats accuse Republicans who resist such laws of waging a “war on women.” Expect to hear more about the issue during the fall campaign.

Here’s the truth you won’t hear: The pay gap is exaggerated, discrimination doesn’t drive it and it’s not clear that government can eliminate it -- or should even try.'
