Sencion, a Dominican immigrant, elected to be laid off to protect Wood, a married father of two, whose wife was seven months pregnant. Wood praised the selfless gesture while Law Project director Elizabeth Cane called it extraordinary.

Anaheim California AP reports Disneyland is opening Jungle Cruise helm to women after 40 years with plans to diversify more roles. Bruce Kimbrell says the park will become unisex as women are cast in traditionally male positions, following earlier partial attempts and inspiration from Walt Disney World in Orlando. Suzanne Barnaby led the impetus after seeing women skippers there.
