Top Susan G. Komen Official Resigned Over Planned Parenthood Cave-In

Three sources told The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg that the organization’s top public health official, Mollie Williams, resigned in protest immediately following the Komen board’s decision to cut off Planned Parenthood. Williams, who served as the managing director of community health programs, was responsible for directing the distribution of $93 million in annual grants. Williams declined to comment when reached yesterday on whether she had resigned her position in protest, and she declined to speak about any other aspects of the controversy. Read more.

621. Burford Brown Egg

Burford Brown eggs are just a variety of chicken eggs. I tried them a few different ways and I found that they were not hugely different to regular chicken eggs; they just have slightly more orangey yolks, and they have a good, pronounced flavour. I love eggs in all kinds of ways but I always like to have them on a pizza. If you haven’t tried it I really recommend that you do (especially with parma ham or prosciutto). If you arrange all of the other toppings on your pizza, then crack the egg on top. I would always use a fork to break the white up a little and drag it out across the pizza as otherwise you can sometimes end up with little pieces of white that are not totally solid, and I’m not ok with that. I normally find that if I do that and bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes then the white will be cooked and the yolk will still be slightly runny.

Stereotype-Challenging Study of the Day: A British study billed as “the most comprehensive ever conducted on gender driving differences” has concluded that women are better at parking cars than men.

The study, which relied on surveillence camera footage of over 2,500 drivers across 700 parking garages, was devised by professional driving instructor Neil Beeson, and produced by car park firm NCP.

Among its findings: Women are better than men at tracking down spaces, lining up with the parking space, and reversing into spots “by the book.” Meanwhile, men are better at entering spaces while driving forward, and exhibit more confidence than their female counterparts, leading to quicker parking decisions.

“The results also appear to dispel the myth that men have better spatial awareness than women,” said Beeson. “It shows that us men need to give our partners more respect when it comes to parking. The facts don’t lie.”
