Jamie Lynne Grumet, the mother seen breastfeeding her 3-year-old on this week's cover of Time was on Today this morning, with a very calm, down-to-earth attitude about the story. She says she knew what she was getting into when she posed (there's a behind-the-scences piece about how the cover was shot, for…
It was bound to happen, but the new TIME cover has become a meme in record time. Buzzfeed has a collection of what the striking image hath wrought, and Strollerderby has provided some amusing alternate headlines (Are You MILF Enough?") for the attachment parenting article that took the internet by storm today.

If October's imminent arrival has you thinking about all the money you're going to shell out to have the most awesome Halloween costume on the block, you are not alone. It turns out we are all planning to go a little nuts this year:
Waiting sucks. New research shows that how long you had to do it in childhood makes you less patient now. But just knowing how long you have to wait may make it more bearable.
Did you know that crazy, PMS-ridden ladies aren't the only ones with "mood swings?" Apparently even men's stoic constitutions change throughout the day — and women can use this to their advantage!
Betty White, Suze Orman and Martha as influential? Sure. I can even sorta see Sarah Palin. But Taylor Swift? The Apatows? Guiliana Ranic? Well, they were all at Time's "100 Most Influential" gala at NYC's Rose Hall.
Hillary Clinton put 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling and then successfully took on the Herculean task of remaking America's world image in the wake of Bush Inc. Apparently, that's just not maverick-y enough for Time.
Time's piece on frugality experiments — like living on a dollar a day, or abstaining from buying new clothes for a year — is a depressing reminder that for many, thrift is a necessity, not a stunt.

According to this week's Time cover story, the new thing in science is epigenetics, which is basically the study of how having a cigarette will destroy your unborn children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Female condoms and circumcision are two of the options being weighed in light of new research and news coming from the country of Uganda, but experts disagree on their ultimate impact in fighting the disease.
The news on magazines is grim today, as steadily declining newsstand sales are now dropping even faster, and for the first time the number of magazines folding is higher than the number of new titles.
Misery, as they say, loves company. But as it turns out, happiness loves company even more. A new study published in the British Medical Journal online claims that happiness is contagious, and that the source of happiness for many people is their extended social network: not only do your friends have a direct impact…
It seems that Cosmopolitan's long-standing position as the top magazine of choice for college students has worn off: a new survey reports that Time has replaced Cosmo as the favorite college magazine. The reason? Possibly Barack Obama, whose message of change may have sparked collegiates to focus on more serious…
January 3, 1964: Time magazine honors Martin Luther King, Jr. with a "Man Of The Year" cover story: "The Invisible Man has now become plainly visible — in bars, restaurants, boards of education, city commissions, civic committees, theaters and mixed social activities, as well as in jobs."
