And now for something completely unrelated.

Three very unrelated but all interesting items:

• Unselfishness makes business partnerships work. Actually, it makes a lot of partnerships work. And unselfish people usually don't happen by accident.
  

• Rarely do we see the gap between reality and PhotoShop, but this article has a few brilliantly raw examples of the chasm. It makes me angry that an entire industry lives and breathes on our desire to look like that, when that doesn't actually exist. And it would be one thing if it only targeted adults, but it doesn't. The impact can be lifelong and devastating, especially for young women. And I'm not ok with that. Just saying.

• I have always sort of admired, in a weird way, the crass swashbuckling White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, and his brazen-yet-pragmatic political methods. Looks like Obama should probably start listening to him a bit more.
  

And there is Tuesday's news & tidbits roundup by Amy...enjoy!
