Ladies, it's time to throw your hat in the air a la Mary Tyler Moore: It turns out that young women are earning more than young men in cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, Dallas and Los Angeles.

During the summers, city shelters see a spike in unwanted pets, and this year is no different. NYC's Animal Care & Control is "taking in 85 cats and kittens a day - up from about 50 a day just a few months ago," according to the Daily News. Animal Care & Control is worried they will have to start euthanizing adoptable cats and dogs, because they are, as director Richard Gentiles says, "being inundated." From the News:

And in protester news, Pale Male admirer/activist, Lincoln Karim who maintain the PaleMale.com website, was charged with stalking 927 Fifth Avenue co-op board first lady, Paula Zahn, yesterday. There have been a number of incidents where Karim has approached Zahn's children (including telling her 7 year-old son with co-op board president Richard Cohen, "Your parents are going ot pay for this"), and last night, Karim was charged with harrassment, stalking and endangering the welfare of a child. Protesters made their way to the 19th Precinct, where they thought Karim had been arrested on civil rights issues; Mary Tyler Moore also went to the station house.

The NY Times' Clyde Haberman ups the ante and asked 927 Fifth Avenue protesters if they ever protested for the rights of homeless New Yorkers. And tonight, PBS station WNET Thirteen will be broadcasting the documentary Pale Male at 8PM. Plus, Jo Miller and WhatISee (photos 1, 2) on the subject.

The NY Times had a pro-Pale Male editorial and the Post has a conservationist explain that needing to build a new nest may affect Pale Male's breeding ability. Plus our readers debate the issue.

The Parks Department said they weren't sure if the nest's removal violated any laws, but Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe said, "Our domain doesn't extend to the tops of people's roofs. Regardless of legality, I am concerned about whether this was ethical, or the right thing to do." The Pale Male website is telling people to email the Fish and Wildlife Services to say that the nest was active up until its removal.
