Dear Arnold,
I've been
breastfeeding for nine months. I currently work three days a week and
pump twice a day. I'd like to give up pumping when my child turns 12
months old. What's the best way to do that?
- Sally
Dear Sally,
They make pumps? For
breasts? You pump them up? I swear, every time I think I'm starting to
understand the female body, I hear some new science fiction craziness.
What are you going to tell me next - you've got handlebars for your
labia? I give up.

Woodfin power plant gets OK after Progress Energy agrees to include green roof
All parties satisfied
The addition of a rooftop planter (left)
will make the smoke stacks "literally disappear," according to Progress
Energy executives who offered the conceptual drawing above as proof of
their claims.

WOODFIN, MONDAY - An 11th-hour agreement to include a
4-foot-by-6-foot rooftop planter on top of a proposed coal-burning
power plant paved the way to an amicable partnership between Progress
Energy and local environmentalists.
"Admittedly, we had some reservations about this project in the
early stages," said Scott Davies, a spokesperson for the Clean Energy
Task Force. "But Progress Energy's willingness to negotiate has left a
good taste in my mouth."
The planned "green roof" will feature organic catnip and low-impact
crabgrass. In exchange for agreeing to the terms of the negotiated
green roof, Progress Energy will retain the right to forego
construction of the rooftop planter if the building of the power plant
goes over budget.
"It's the least we can do, really," said Max Wellington, a
spokesman for Progress Energy. "A green roof will allow our coal-fired
power plant to just blend right in with the environment."
The public is encouraged to come forward with the gender or any other
basic identifying information they may have about the anonymous
suspect, shown in the police sketch at right.
Police still searching for unknown man
ASHEVILLE, TUESDAY - Asheville city police are trying to learn the
identity of a man they had in custody, but who has since been released
on his own recognizance. Police are now searching for this man, but
have little to go on.
"We know the suspect is a man but that's about it," said precinct captain Dale Curtis. "Other than that, we don't know much."
The suspect provided police with stolen identification and now,
after having let him go, their curiosity is killing them and they want
to know who he really is.
"We are not mad, we just have to know," Curtis said. "Jim in
processing thinks it was a woman dressed as a man, but I stand firm
that it was a man we had custody of back in December."
