First Ladies Unite
In Ouagadougou first ladies from the west African countries of Benin, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Togo and Burkina Faso are coming together to try to put an end to the awful awful tradition of female circumcision (aka genital mutilation) that is happening in over 30 countries today. This is a great first step in helping make the world a better place. It fits in with what I have been saying this week to my kids. "No one can do everything, but everyone can do something."

Sexiest Woman Alive
"I don't know exactly what it means, but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I'll take it," says Halle Berry, about her being named the sexiest woman alive by Esquire magazine in its November issue. Berry, who gave birth to daughter Nahla in March, says she can't claim the honor all for herself. "I share this title with every woman, because every woman is a nominee for it at any moment," she says. We'll all take that.

Secret Life of Bees
+The $2,000 tax credit limit for residential solar systems has been lifted, meaning that homeowners can get a 30% tax credit on the solar panels they install after Dec. 31, 2008. That will save folks who want to install a system serious money -- especially for those who live in states with generous state rebates. (If you buy a $24,000 3-kilowatt solar array in California -- big enough to power the average home - you can claim a $7,200 federal tax credit. Add in the state solar rebate and the cost of the system is cut in half.)
+ The bill also includes tax credits of $3,000 or more toward the purchase of fuel-efficient, plug-in hybrid vehicles. To learn more about plug-in hybrids, click here.
