Long Island baker is accused to taking a few shortcuts to serve up her customers vegan and gluten-free treats. The Patchogue-based Savory Fig has come under fire after being called out for allegedly attempting to pass off Dunkin’ doughnuts as its own. New York’s Division of Food Safety and Inspection, along with the Suffolk County Department of Health, are conducting a full investigation into the allegations, the division confirmed to “TODAY” on Friday. Huntington Village vegan market Cindysnacks was responsible for blowing the whistle on the baking business owned by Michelle Siriani, which they used as a supplier for plant-based...

Astrophotographers often produce breathtaking images of distant galaxies, planets, and moons from Earth. But Dr Sebastain Voltmer captured something very different and yet equally incredible, last week. He photographed the International Space Station (ISS) while astronauts Matthias Maurer and Raja Chari were outside performing a spacewalk. This may be the first ground-based image that has captured two astronauts out on a spacewalk at the same time.

NASA astronauts Raja Chari and Kayla Barron step out of the International Space Station to conduct a spacewalk.

March is Women’s History Month. The media has featured articles about many impressive women and their contributions to American history. However, it appears one thing is required before a woman can be honored. She must also be a supporter of so-called reproductive rights—code for abortion. Today, celebrities brag about their abortions in the name of feminism. Actress Jameela Jamil claims her abortion was the “best decision” she ever made. Comedian Chelsea Handler says she is grateful for the two abortions she had at 16. Singer and songwriter Stevie Nicks credits the success of her band, Fleetwood Mac, to her 1979...

Women’s History Month. I’m all for it. We should celebrate anyone (like these fearless women) who’ve helped to positively shape the greatest nation on earth. And yes, my American exceptionalism bias will always show.Of course, in this day in age, it’s gotten a bit murky since anyone, apparently, can be a woman. Perhaps the historical designation has run its course. It’s increasingly being made irrelevant by a pseudoscientific ideology that denies there is any distinction between women and men. We’re all just the same. And we can all be the same, as long as we self-identify as anything we want...

The questions were coming fast and frantic: How strong was the earthquake? Was it on the San Andreas? Is the Big One coming? A massive temblor had struck near Joshua Tree shortly before 10 p.m., causing buildings to sway all the way to Las Vegas. As the public braced for more shaking, the media flocked to Caltech that night in 1992. One woman seemed to have all the answers. It was a magnitude 6.1, explained U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Lucy Jones, and the odds of a larger quake in the next three days stood at 15%. She shifted her weight...

Archaeologists discover First Temple-era seals, one with a woman's name. Rare find that sheds significant light on owner's life. Archaeologists have found two ancient seals with Hebrew names, dating back to the time of the First Temple, in Jerusalem's City of David. The objects belonged to a woman and a man, Elihana bat Gael and Sa'aryahu ben Shabenyahu. "Finding seals that bear names from the time of the First Temple is hardly a commonplace occurrence, and finding a seal that belonged to a woman is an even rarer phenomenon," said a researcher with the project. The artifacts were discovered in...

Grammy Award winner Miri Ben-Ari will be one of 25 "Remarkable Women" who have been invited to spend a day with Michelle Obama on Wednesday, March 30 in honor of Women's History Month. The 32-year-old Israeli violinist and the group - all from a variety of professions and backgrounds - will serve as mentors and travel around Washington, DC to inspire and encourage young women to pursue their own dreams. After the day-long tour, they will gather at the White House for dinner with other distinguished guests. Ben-Ari first popped onto the scene in 2001 alongside Wyclef Jean with an...

It's a classic case of mean-girl syndrome, where cliques are formed and isolation sets in for anyone not included in the popular circle. But this is not the playground--it's the workplace. According to a study conducted last year by the Workplace Bullying Institute and Zogby International, an astounding 71 percent of office conflict cases are women bullying other women. "I'm not at all surprised by the findings," says David Thomas, professor of business administration and chairman of the Organizational Behavior department at Harvard Business School. "If you think about the kind of bullying that goes on between [women], which is...

Women’s History Month is a perfect time to reflect on those strong women who contributed so much to Texas, starting with the Lone Star Republic’s early days. Mary Austin Holley was Stephen F. Austin’s first cousin. She noted that early Texas women were a breed apart. She once observed, “It is not uncommon for ladies to mount their mustangs and hunt with their husbands, to ride long distances on horseback to attend a ball with their silk dresses in their saddlebags. Hardy, vigorous constitutions, free spirits and spontaneous gaiety are thus induced and continue a rich legacy to their children...

<p>March is Women's History Month, but hard-line feminists in universities and major women's groups are deciding who counts as a woman. I have been labeled a non-woman. An angry critic once referred to Margaret Thatcher and me as "those two female impersonators." Why? Because in my books and articles I have questioned the basic premise of contemporary American feminism.</p>
