Women in the news: A new California law enacted over the weekend, says publicly traded companies which are headquartered in California must have at least one woman on their board of directors by the end of 2019 --or face a penalty.
Price Waterhouse Cooper says a majority of companies in the S&P 500 have at least one woman on their boards, but only about a quarter have more than two.
The new law goes on to requires companies with five directors to add two women by the end of 2021, and companies which have six or more directors must add at least three women to their board of directors by the end of 2021.
Question: Can you think of a company or product which wouldn't benefit by having a percentage of women on the board of directors?If you missed it, KANYE WEST has changed his name to YE WEST.
This is nothing new for him, since he's called himself Ye for awhile now and his last album was called "Ye." On Twitter, he wrote: "The being formally [sic] known as Kanye West. I am YE." He explained earlier "I believe 'ye' is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means 'you.' So I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye - just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are."
Question: If you could change your name to anything, what would it be... and why?In Titusville, FL, PENNELOPE PETTERSEN was shocked to see a 28-year-old man butt-nekkid on her front porch when she opened her blinds last week at 2 am after hearing a noise outside. "I always look first," she said. "I opened the blinds and said, 'What the hell? That's not my cat'."
Pennelope, who's a grandmother, said she wanted to scare the man, so she popped out her teeth and shouted "Grandma no teeth!" Then she called the cops.
Turns out alcohol may have been a factor (Duh!) and 28-year-old AXEL RIVERA is in the Brevard County jail on charges of burglary and (as you might expect) exposing sexual organs.
