1. From The New Statesman, a round-up of sexism in the primary campaigns in Hating Hillary.
2. Blogging is good for you – I knew it. From Scientific American (hattip Brewed Fresh Daily):
A study in the February issue of the Oncologist reports that cancer patients who engaged in expressive writing just before treatment felt markedly better, mentally and physically, as compared with patients who did not.
Scientists now hope to explore the neurological underpinnings at play, especially considering the explosion of blogs…
Whatever the underlying causes may be, people coping with cancer diagnoses and other serious conditions are increasingly seeking—and finding—solace in the blogosphere. “Blogging undoubtedly affords similar benefits” to expressive writing, says Morgan, who wants to incorporate writing programs into supportive care for cancer patients.

4. He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know is a new book out by one of the authors at Feministing.com. At that link, you can get the intro and one of the double standards explained. Here’s a podcast of the author discussing the book.
5. Two-fer from Glass City Jungle:
-English as the official language of Ohio? WLST has been there before on a local level but I’m not sure about whether it’s going to be as easy to defeat in the general assembly. Here’s the bill, HB 477.
-the case of Lorain councilman Dennis Flores getting charged with solicitation brings up the matter of where do we draw the line re: who should resign when and over what. I’m trying to get Lisa Renee to define a line but I’m not having much luck, yet. Here’s the Chronicle-Telegram news item.
6. Randall Park Mall is closing on June 12. That place is a BEHEMOTH. Was once the largest indoor mall in the country. According to the Wikipedia entry, “At the time of its opening, North Randall’s population was 1,500 and the mall’s employee population was 5,000.”

I’m not surprised either but it’s nice to see it validated. And I hope you are having a great weekend!
When I first got my drivers license I tried to go to Beachwood mall but ended up at Randall park. I still have never been to Beachwood.
Thanks, Carole. I’ve had a lousy cold – throat, nose, head etc. but it’s slowly ebbing away. Sitting in sun room with a basket full of folded laundry and my youngest, who has started to get my cold, napping away on the couch. Other family members are scattered at friends and in resting places as well. Not bad at all.
Hope you’re enjoying too.
Okay, Ben – let me guess – you are the kind of guy who will not get out to ask for directions – but I bet you love you some GPS, yes?
No, I actually would stop and ask for directions, I do it all the time.
I did buy a GPS back in January, but I have used it like 3 times.
Hmm – well – you have me confused then.
But don’t worry – Beachwood Place shouldn’t be going the way of Randall for a while yet. You can still make it there sometime.
