At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse.
As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life–sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition–its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires.
Praise for Olive Kitteridge:
"Perceptive, deeply empathetic . . . Olive is the axis around which these thirteen complex, relentlessly human narratives spin themselves into Elizabeth Strout's unforgettable novel in stories."
–O: The Oprah Magazine
"Fiction lovers, remember this name: Olive Kitteridge. . . . You'll never forget her. . . . [Elizabeth Strout] constructs her stories with rich irony and moments of genuine surprise and intense emotion. . . . Glorious, powerful stuff."
–USA Today
"Funny, wicked and remorseful, Mrs. Kitteridge is a compelling life force, a red-blooded original. When she's not onstage, we look forward to her return. The book is a page-turner because of her."
–San Francisco Chronicle
"Olive Kitteridge still lingers in memory like a treasured photograph."
–Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Rarely does a story collection pack such a gutsy emotional punch."
–Entertainment Weekly
"Strout animates the ordinary with astonishing force. . . . [She] makes us experience not only the terrors of change but also the terrifying hope that change can bring: she plunges us into these churning waters and we come up gasping for air."
–The New Yorker

Non-NOBU sushi?
My husband and I have been eager to get a taste of manhattan's finest sushi, but aren't sure whether to believe the hype (or pay the price) for Nobu. Any other suggestions? This is a last-minute trip (we just decided today to leave tomorrow), so we won't have much lead time for reservations, but would happily dine at an off hour, and sunday/monday are options, too.
Money is less of an object than it should be...
Thank you thank you!
Blue Ribbon Sushi doesnt take reservations and is open til late hours.
I try to avoid their sashimi a la carte (with the exception of the otoro), and instead head to their specials where they have whole fishes of 6-10 pieces of smaller sashimi at a much better price, or their appetizers list, where you'll get some interesting combinations.
My favorites, subject to availability:
kanpachi usuzukuri - sliced amberjack in very light ponzu sauce, served with ground yuzu peppers
wild horse mackarel - whole horse mackarel, with quite a surprise.
santa barbara uni on the shell - every regular sushi place's uni will taste gross after this. But I believe it's only available in winter.
amaebi - sweet, fresh shrimp, with the fried heads as a dessert.
I actually have some pictures, but alas, chowhound has disabled them.
Enjoy your stay.
For great sushi with no reservations I suggest Le Miu in the East Village. The place itself is really laid back and the fish is fantastic!
Nobu doesn't do sushi all that well. It is more known for their cooked dishes. Best sushi choices in my opinion would be Yasuda or 15 East. Sit at the bar in both places. Not sure if you'd be able to get a reservation at either place this late, but if you choose to eat on the early side, say pre-7, I'd say you'd have a much better chance. Next tier down, I'd recommend Kanoyama on 2nd ave and 11th street. They do not take reservations but they usually have a good and varied selection of fish.
And if you want a Japanese experience, consider Sugiyama. Kaiseki-style with a range of options. Nice presentation and great flavor.
Le Miu is staffed by two ex-Nobu chefs who do "new style" sashimi. For more traditional offerings, I'd go elsewhere. Sushi of Gari is also "new style" and more experimental sushi, so it might not be what you're looking for.
I like Kanoyama a lot but it's definitely not in the same league as, say, Yasuda. It does, however, take reservations, but only for Sunday through Thursday.
re: kathryn
Sushi Sasabune on 73rd Street just east of 1st Ave. It's omakase and a la carte after. The crab rolls are unbelievable!
I tend to sound like a broken record on requests like this, but here goes:
Ushiwaka Maru - sit at the sushi bar in front of Hideo-san (the owner) and do Omakase. It's a serious place. No spicy tuna rolls. I think it's half as good as Masa at 1/5th the price.
re: Andrew P.
would you really say half as good?
You don't go to Nobu for their sushi.
Ushiwakamaru is one of the best you can do. Yasuda is not the ONLY name in town. If you can afford Nobu, you can afford Kurumazushi. Hatsuhana is also very good, as is Sushiden. You'd have a great time at Sushi Seki. Esashi and kanoyama too. Or try Shimizu.
I highly recommend Sugiyama, where some of the best sushi and sashimi will be part of the overall stellar, authentic experience
re: raji212
Ushiwakamura is the best sushi place imho. after going there, i won't eat sushi anywhere else. and very reasonably priced.
I know everyone already said it-trust us nobu not about sushi-go to sushi yasuda 43rd between 2nd and 3rd-
Ditto on Nobu and sushi...
You could try Koi at the Bryant Park hotel. You probably do need reservations, but they are usually easy to get. It's kind of a trendy place and the sushi pieces aren't that big, but they are fresh and always very tasty. Also they do a killer seafood miso soup. Have a good trip and PS-I love your screenname!
re: drumwine
re: drumwine
YES YES I do prefer the UES location. Sit at the bar and order the omikase ( different price levels that you can choose)
re: traceybell
That's just a standard sushi lunch which costs $20 at says Yasuda or Shimizu. that's not the way to try out manhattan's finest sushi
re: traceybell
Jewel Bako does a great Chef' Omakase I think it was 50.00- on 5th St..bwt 2nd and 3rd aves.
Masa for 40.00 is a bargin..
If you want a little better idea about Yasuda, I wrote this review a little while ago.
I reccomend it above all other places, hands down.
re: brendastarlet
For much better in that neighorhood, try Kanoyama or my true stellar sleeper, Esashi. I hear 15 East is good too but I have evaluate personally.
re: raji212
I went to Esashi about a week ago for the first time, and I have to say I was very happy with my sushi. For the price it has to be one of the best sushi values in the city. Not expensive at all, and very, very good.
Will go back.
re: brendastarlet
Japonica is wonderful, and although the decor isn't souped up it is still lovely. Totally undermentioned on these boards, which may not be such a bad thing. :)
Echoing what others have said, Nobu is not the place for sushi. I've really been underwhelmed there. I would recommend Shimizu. Even at prime time, I've never had any trouble getting in.
I think you should go to Sumile - 13th between 6 and 7th ave. The sushi is soooooo good. I had one of the best spicy tuna and avocado hand rolls I have ever had. I recently ate here and had the tasting menu which is kaisaki style. So there were many courses of asian inspired dishes and then courses of sushi and sashimi. It was really fantastic.
re: JeremyEG
Me too. There is an understated elegance to Shimizu-san's sushi, much like his face and smile!
re: BigTyme
Bar Masa in the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle would be my clear choice. The lunch deal is great but dropping in during the evening is also wonderful. The waitress we had was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us construct a terrific evening. Top ingredients and subtle cooking.
If $ are no problem, then go to its mother ship "Masa" next door. I haven't done it but the place is a shrine of Japanese cooking -- top rated by the NY Times. Could be >$300 per person, however.


text: Bonham's auction house is holding a big auction on December 9th of "The Howard Neville Collection of Early Works of Art and Textiles together with selected other properties." It's largely a collection of religious art ranging from the 15th to 19th centuries, and there are some utterly gorgeous embroideries in it, including an elaborate 17th century embroidered English coif (Lot 86) and a bunch of orphreys, bits of 15th century embroidered linen and silk et cetera. (I have no idea which Howard Neville this is; the catalog probably says.) Also plenty of non-textiles, such as a 16th century Spanish iron strongbox, 16th century painted pottery whose technical classifications I don't understand (I'd say Majolica but I know that's wrong), lots of wood and ivory carvings and other goodies ;) There is, as one would expect, less stuff from the earlier centuries; on a fast pass through, most appears to be 17th and 18th. http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=catalogue&iSaleNo=17771 This link will shortly appear on every local needleworkers' mailing list, I'm sure ;) The photos are excellent, especially if you go to the Flash version and hit zoom. You can see details really well -- every embroidered piece I tried, I could literally count the threads and get an excellent look at the techniques. If you have screen-capture technology you could probably piece together a fairly good overall image from those enlarged bits, though that's always a bit tedious. There are links to purchase a catalog as well, though I have no idea how many pieces appear as photos in it, if any. ____________________________________________________________ O Chris Laning <claning at igc.org> - Davis, California + http://paternoster-row.org - http://paternosters.blogspot.com ____________________________________________________________

Training and development professionals looking for an in-depth education and mastery of training delivery skills now have a Master Trainer™ Program available to them. ASTD introduced the new Master Trainer assessment-based certificate program during its recent 2012 International Conference & Exposition in Denver, Colorado.
"Learning and development professionals have been asking ASTD to create an in-depth program that covers the entire delivering training area of expertise, and requires participants to prove their abilities" says Courtney Vital Kriebs, ASTD director of education. "The focus of the program is to help professionals prepare as the role of the trainer evolves, and more is demanded of their time and talent. They'll have the opportunity to acquire and demonstrate all of the must-have abilities of the most engaging and effective trainers."
At its recent conference ASTD held several events to share the background, research, and design of the program. Participants felt strongly that this program is a unique or exclusive opportunity to distinctively advance their professional development in the delivering training area of expertise. At one event, participants reviewed core content, met two of the ASTD expert facilitators delivering the program, and completed the professional inventory used during the program.
The ASTD Master Trainer Program is a unique combination of a training event and assessment component. The program consists of three distinct parts which allow participants to tailor their learning to meet their personal and organizational needs. The program comprises an online orientation, in-person 4-day core course, and online elective. Participants must pass a knowledge test and skill-mastery demonstration to successfully complete the program and receive the ASTD Master Trainer certificate.
The first Master Trainer program will be offered June 26-29. Registration is now open.

In the last few days, in response to the dustup over Mormonism's "cult" status, lots of Mormons have been insisting that of course we are Christian, that it's unkind of Evangelical Christians to say that we're not. The argument that we are Christians generally includes reference to 1) the name of our church ("Jesus Christ" is even in a big font!), 2) a citation of 2 Nephi 25:26 ("And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins") 3) personal belief in Christ as Savior, and 4) our efforts to follow Jesus, to "be like Him."

Stop Saying That!!
Review: N.T. Wright, "Scripture and the Authority of God"
Title: Scripture and the Authority of God: How to Read the Bible Today
Author: N. T. Wright
Publisher: HarperOne
Genre: Bible
Year: 2011
Pages: 224
Binding: Hardcover
Price: $25.99
N.T. Wright has been called "the C.S. Lewis for our time." Like Lewis, Wright is Anglican. Like Lewis, Wright's overriding purpose is to demonstrate Christianity's relevance for our times (Lewis with modernism, Wright with postmodernism). Lewis wrote Surprised by Joy, Wright wrote Surprised by Hope. Like Lewis, Wright's style is cleverly engaging. This particular similarity is evident from the first line of Wright's latest publication:
"Writing a book about the Bible is like building a sandcastle in front of the Matterhorn. The best you can hope to do is to catch the eye of those who are looking down instead of up, or those who are so familiar with the skyline that they have stopped noticing its peculiar beauty" (ix).
Odds are, if you've enjoyed Lewis's theological or devotional writings, you'll enjoy Wright's. Some differences between the two deserve attention. Unlike Lewis, who was content to remain a lay Anglican, Wright once served as Bishop of Durham, and sat in the UK's House of Lords. Unlike Lewis, who was an armchair theologian and literary critic whose fiction largely outranks his non-fiction, Wright is a distinguished Bible scholar who takes higher criticism much more seriously than Lewis could have. Lewis still serves as a safe source for many Mormons who are pleased to find similar theological ground in the works of a non-LDS author. Wright can easily serve a similar purpose for Mormons in regards to contemporary biblical scholarship.1 He has a knack for making complex academic discussions comprehensible to regular folk like me. It is with this in mind that I recommend his latest book, Scripture and the Authority of God.2 It's a lot thicker than its 224 pages appear at first glance as evinced by this over-long, chapter-by-chapter review, but at least the prose is almost always accessible and the analogies creative!

On being cultish
This weekend's flap between a pastor and a political candidate has resurrected the zombie-like discussion of Mormonism and cults. Much could be said about the propriety of the label in today's religious landscape. It seems to me that objections are more often raised regarding what the word connotes (mind control, creepy hooded figures burning candles in dark corridors?), than regarding what it is supposed to denote (an unorthodox religious group?). Historical usage of the term in regards to Mormonism aside,1 I'm inclined to agree with Martin E. Marty (a distinguished religious historian, author, and professor) who said that the label serves "few clarifying purposes" aside from excluding another group from respectable society. You are weird, we are normal. Because we said so, and a lot of people agree.
Those most likely to use the "cult" word are probably least likely to be convinced by a scholar like Marty, though. Rather than trying to change their minds it might be well to look inside ourselves. In reaction to the pastor's use of "cult," I've seen a few people point to a list of "cult characteristics" backed by some impressive credentials. Here's one example: [Read more...]
BCC goes to Washington
You should all want to know what kind of moisturizer I use, because a couple of weeks ago, I was invited to participate in the White House Roundtable with "Young" Mormons. You can read about it here. Paul Monteiro, who invited us and chaired the meeting, along with Kalpen Modi (yes, you've seen him somewhere before), will be guest-blogging here in the next little while about his work with religious communities. You can also read Chelsea Shields Strayer's more detailed account at Exponent II. Also, if you're curious about the background of this meeting and the other work the organizers do , you can subscribe to the Office of Public Engagement's listserv–write to them at email@example.com with "LDS" in the subject line.

False dichotomies and Easter: a quick post, sorta
Quick, use up one of your twenty pageviews and read this article by David Brooks. Then go read this response by Andrew Sullivan.
We all back? Good. Brooks is right that most of the folks in Africa (and elsewhere) who join religious movements join because of the creeds promoted, not in spite of them. Sullivan, on the other hand, is correct that we apply our human reason to any particular set of creeds, using that act to determine if they are appropriate for our belief (There is a reason folks go church shopping). So, while I believe that they are both right, I also believe that they are both wrong. They are setting up a false choice between rational and miraculous belief. As a Mormon, I get to believe in both types. We believe that God tells us the truth via our hearts and our minds. So, while both Brooks and Sullivan appear to believe that casual dismissal of Mormonism is de rigueur, Mormonism actually resolves the false dilemma their two approaches create.
Why on Easter? Because we, as Mormons, actually believe that Christ did something rationally impossible. He rose from the dead on the third day, ascended to His Father, and created the means for our return. That doesn't make us unique (plenty of Christians believe the same), but it does mean that our faith derives from some miraculous moment (in our own experience and in historical experience). At the same time, we derive further meaning from that moment (and many like it) to determine how to live on earth. The derivation of law from experience is the very heart of rationalism. There is no contradiction, really, between the two, or rather, they exist in apparent contradiction, but aren't, really. We have a Moebius strip of a religion, folks. That's what gives it power and that is what allows it to appeal to the rational, the irrational, the conservative, the liberal, the fundamentalist, and the revisionist. Christ's message is to all people; He died & He is Risen.
The Seeker: Hell Hath No Fury

Join BCC this weekend at Restoration Studies
A number of BCC permas will be presenters this weekend at the annual Restoration Studies / Sunstone Midwest Symposium. The symposium kicks off Friday night with an address on the conference theme: "'A Woman's Place…' Ideas, Impacts, and Experiences of Restoration Women" given by Gail Mengel. (Now retired, Gail was one of two women who became the first female apostles in the RLDS Church, now known as the Community of Christ.)
Russel Arben Fox chairs a star-studded panel that includes our own Kristine Haglund and Tracy McKay, along with Christian Harrison and Chris Henrichsen, in a session entitled "Homemaking Radicalism and Homemaking Realities." Kristine will also be joining Stacy Mengel Keenan, JWHA Executive Director Sherry Mesle-Morrain, and Sunstone Executive Director Mary Ellen Robertson, to explore the topic of "Getting Educated: How Attending a Church University (or not) Shapes Restoration Women's Experiences."
My own presentation will look at the histories of two small American denominations that initially embraced problematic doctrines that they eventually jettisoned before they each ultimately became "just another Protestant church". The Worldwide Church of God (now Grace Communion International) believed in Anglo-Israelitism (the view that the Anglo-Saxons were the lost tribes of Israel), and the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church (now Christ Community Church) famously believed that the world is flat. How has becoming just another Protestant church worked out in these two examples and what lessons might these experiences hold for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now Community of Christ)?
David Holland's Sacred Borders
Review of David F. Holland, Sacred Borders: Continuing Revelation and Canonical Restraint in Early America. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. 275pp. + index
Sacred Borders represents a rigorous and compelling consideration of traditions about the state of the biblical canon in American religion. For bookish Latter-day Saints, this volume will provide much-needed context for early Mormon beliefs about their open canon as well as a subtle and sympathetic view of both sides of the debate over the closed canon. While the style is highly accessible, given the complexity of the subject matter a reader may benefit from having digested a book like Brooks Holifield's Theology in America (Yale 2005) or perhaps the survey by Jon Butler, Grant Wacker, and Randall Balmer, Religion in American Life (Oxford 2003). Many of Holland's arguments will make more sense when the reader recognizes some of the actors, concepts, and traditions involved. Even so, I believe that Sacred Borders will be useful even to non-specialist audiences. I apologize that this review is as long as it is: the length of the review reflects the extensive insights of the book as well as the scope of the topic it treats. For expository clarity, I have divided the review into three sections. [Read more...]
A Shinto Prayer

Parochialism and Church callings
Scott's excellent post on comparative advantage and using opportunity cost in considering ward callings provided some impetus for me to articulate one of the concerns I currently have with how we approach callings. Scott noted that 'supply generally exceeds demand'. Though there are some areas of the Church where this might not be accurate (i.e. my Ward) I am sure that this is generally true in a wide variety of areas. Moreover, if this accurate it suggests an excellent question: What do we do when the Ward is saturated? [Read more...]
Ash Wednesday
I'm pretty sure I had never seen anyone with ashes on his forehead until I was in college–the imposition of ashes at the start of Lent just wasn't part of the liturgical life of the Baptist/Methodist/Campbellite town I grew up in. I was initially puzzled, and then vaguely repulsed by this physical, public acknowledgment of sin and penitence and the messiness of mortality.
Culturally, Mormons aren't really big on public acknowledgment of sin–we're optimistic that sin can be contained at home or, at worst, in the bishop's office. We speak cheerily of the 4 (or 5, or 7, depending on the teacher's creativity) R's of Repentance, a discreet process akin to running the dishwasher. [Read more...]
UVU to host yet another really cool conference
Just when you thought last year's Mormon Studies conference at UVU could not be improved upon…
Check this out.
Movie(s) Review: Veggie Tales! Veggie Tales!
They're a little "loud" for my taste (I prefer a more Mr. Rogersesque vibe in my children's media), but I have to admit, they're pretty entertaining and they do a good job of teaching scripture stories.
I haven't found any material or lessons I find objectionable, and many have surprised me with how much I appreciate the lessons taught. For example, An Easter Carol confronts the evils of consumerism and commercialization of sacred holidays, without going so far into zealotry the other direction that it makes me uncomfortable. Madame Blueberry is a full frontal assault on the idea that material things make us happy, even not-so-subtly sending up Wal-Mart. And Sweetpea Beauty is a perhaps cliche, but still much needed, reminder for girls that beauty on the inside is what matters. [Read more...]
A Mormon Sermon for Reformation Sunday
Delivered in church on October 31, 2010*
By 1528 at the latest Martin Luther had written the hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", number 68 in our hymn book, as a homily on Psalm 46. The words to this hymn always turn my thoughts to Luther's experience in taking refuge in the mighty Wartburg fortress at Eisenach in the German principality of Thuringia in 1521. We can imagine Luther reflecting on his isolation while sequestered in that fortress, in disguise as a knight for his own protection, as he later penned the words. [Read more...]
Meet The Polygamists Next Door
MikeInWeHo is an old friend of BCC, and currently serves as our Special Media Correspondent, providing commentary on TV shows we can't watch because we're too cheap to pay for cable. His past work can be seen here, here, here, and here.
Sunday night brought the premier of the new series Sister Wives on The Learning Channel. The affable Kody Brown and his three wives have opened their home to the world, and we get a new take on contemporary polygamy. This is billed as a reality series, but are these people for real or is this TV with an agenda? [Read more...]
Mormons, Muslims get along by creating books, not destroying them
I have been added as the Mormon blogger to the roster at The Seeker, which is the religion blog of The Chicago Tribune, edited by its terrific religion editor, Manya Brachear. They have quite an impressive list of contributors, including Martin Marty, the foremost authority on American religious history. I was a little bit intimidated by that, but hey, I'm just a fool rushing in where angels fear to tread. Below is my first offering at that venue. When I blog there, I plan to cross-post here. Obviously, these are written with a non-LDS audience in mind. They are also edited prior to being posted (the title for instance, was not mine, but I do like it). Enjoy! [Read more...]
An Appeal to Mitt Romney for Republican Leadership on the Mosque Issue
Does the Park51 Islamic Community Center in Lower Manhattan (also known by the misnomer "Ground Zero Mosque") present an opportunity for Mitt Romney to assume and evince leadership in the Republican Party, possibly even ousting populist Tea Party Anti-Federalist demagogues based on fundamental Federalist principles in the process?

Look Out, World!
At the recent FAIR conference in Utah, some interesting data were shared. Guess what? People don't like us. No, let me rephrase that: people really don't like us. According to the polling firm which gathered the data, LDS people have an unfavorable to favorable rating of 5 – 1. For every person who thinks well of us there are five who do not. To compare, notice that Jewish people have a favorable rating of 7 – 2 (seven likes for every two dislikes) and Catholics have a favorable rating of 2 – 1. Where are we going and how did we get in this handbasket?
The Sacrament of Grief
BCC is thrilled to welcome Nicholas S., known throughout the records of the Bloggernacle as Latter-day Guy, as a new guest blogger.
Note: Among my many deficiencies as a missionary were my journal keeping habits. These habits were deficient mainly in that they did not exist. The events described are true to the best of my recollection, but there may well be some inaccuracies regarding certain details and timing. Also, names have been changed to protect the innocent. And the guilty.

Nice to See It Published, But How Does It Affect Growth?
This guest post comes from frequent BCC reader Erich S.
An article about the LDS Church and its members appeared in the Financial Times last week. I have now received it from 5 independent sources, all LDS, and I can only assume you have either already read it or will receive it soon. While it is nice to see these kinds of articles giving us largely positive press, I believe they may also be problematic.

Studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses
A local Jehova's Witness has put me in his "finding pool." Oh, I know he probably wouldn't call it that. But the truth of the matter is unmistakable. Sporadic morning visits have evolved into regularized bi-monthly drop-bys, and I'm handed a bright new copy of the Watchtower and other assorted literature each time. This Witness is paired with a different "companion" on each visit. Sometimes he's the "senior companion," clearly showing his greenie the ropes. Occasionally, he's the "junior companion", accompanied by an obviously senior leader, who I imagine gives him pointers after our brief conversation ends and the door closes.
I suspect in this Witness's mind I am a "golden contact". I answer his questions semi-thoughtfully, and in a way I know is helpful to the flow of his sales pitch. The truth is, I can't help but be nice to these guys. They remind me so much of a 19-year-old me. Yes, many of our theological assumptions and conclusions couldn't be more different. But our door-knocking approaches are oddly similar, both in the leading questions asked, and in the slight awkwardness of bearing and conversation that inevitably characterizes our forced chatter. I find myself wondering, "Do they hate this as much as I did back in the day?" "Do they really think the questions they're asking me are as religiously pivotal as their script would have me believe?" The whole experience is like a trip down memory lane, yet I must confess I'm kind of glad when it ends.

On Evangelicals and Mormons Discussing the Issues
Some of you may have read comments by Ed Enochs on the other board. I asked Mr. Enochs if he would like to say something about ways that mormons and evangelicals can work together. Below is his response. I believe that his answer is interesting and revelatory concerning the potential for entente between the LDS and evangelical communities. While I obviously disagree with some of his conclusions, his view is interesting nonetheless.
"Dear LDS Friends,
I have been asked by Steve Evans to share with you my thoughts as to how Evangelical Christians and members of the LDS Church can work together towards understanding each other. I will do so gladly, since the Bible, God's exclusively inerrant, inspired and infallible Word exhorts us to; "Sanctify the Lord God in our hearts and always be ready to give an answer to everyone that asks us for a reason for the hope that is in us" (1 Peter 3:15).

In Their Own Words
The right to have an active sex life unencumbered by unintended pregnancy is a healthcare issue, but it is so much more than that as well.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.
Experts explore the biggest ideas in their fields
The right to have an active sex life unencumbered by unintended pregnancy is a healthcare issue, but it is so much more than that as well.
You can learn to argue with yourself. That's actually how I get a lot of my thinking done.
The idea is to take yourself seriously enough to be on the journey and to make as much of it that you can possibly make.
We live in a world in which most people go home at the end of the day feeling unfulfilled by their work.
I think the more transparent that the world gets, enabled largely by technology, the more important it is that you are what you appear to be.
You have good teachers of all different personality types, all different sizes and shapes. And so this is an art, this is not a science.
I think online education has the opportunity to completely blow this thing inside out where everybody has access to really great education.
Couples that stay together tend to have very highly correlated levels of oxytocin.
We've seen in many countries where they have instituted some quotas that they have been able to bring more women in and that it really has made a big difference in the quality of the decision making position
For whatever reason being in nature helps people become better at problem solving.
Often you'll find yourself having those sleepless nights in Seattle and in other places and it's only when you are asleep that you aren't basically stuck with this metronome of worry.
When you're trying to interact with an ecosystem of ideas, intellectual property becomes an encumbrance.
Everyone has a unique odor print that is built on your immune system genes and that is one of the things that attracts you to a partner.
If I help you get more powerful it doesn't mean there is less power for me.
Experts should trust all of their instincts and their common sense in their areas of expertise. The problem comes when non-experts have "common sense opinion" that really is just coming out of nowhere.

By Anna Merlan
It's never a good sign when a film's star spends the entirety of the film in a coma; it's worse when you begin to envy her condition. This direct-to-Beta bummer stars Mia Kirshner (Not Another Teen Movie) as Alicia, a lower-class student at an elite, upper-class North Carolina college that looks less like an institution of higher learning than a set piece for an E! Wild Onspecial. In flashbacks, it's revealed that Alicia has overdosed on pharmacy-quality coke--who hasn't?--and the local sheriff (Taye Diggs, in a remarkably wrong-headed bit of casting) is investigating the OD as possible homicide. Alicia's one of those ugly fucklings adopted by the in-crowd--in this case, Meredith Monroe, who looks like a young Sally Kellerman; Dominique Swain as a lipstick lesbian; and Rachel True, who's truly awful--who sheds her skin around the same time she sells her soul; she gets what's coming to her. Director Zoe Clarke-Williams is just as confused about her message--booze and drugs are bad...but fun!--as she is about where to point the camera; the movie looks like a bad acid trip, except when it's supposed to, when it just looks plain wretched (like a blind man's idea of "art"). This film seems to exist solely to prove there is something beneath the bottom of the barrel; if it's not the worst film of the millennium, it's solely because it's not worth making the case for or against its atrociousness.

The Art of the Deal Oiling the Engines of Invention By Sibyl Shalo Big Pharma execs bring to biotech the knowledge of what it takes to make something a commercial success—not getting to market, but to Phase I. Trends A Decade (and 1/2) of Deals By Jim Hall More than half the deals made by pharma are with companies based in the US, 28 percent in Europe, and 15 percent Japan. Due Diligence Avoiding the Train Wreck By Gene Slowinski, PhD , Dan Watson The "due diligence framework" is an efficient process. But efficient is not the same as quick and easy. There are no shortcuts. The framework minimizes resource commitments and disruptions to ongoing programs and helps each side learn what it needs to know. In six steps, it converts the typical due diligence root canal into a painless filling. Success Story Fruitful and Prosperous By Sibyl Shalo EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ROCHE WAS, AND ARGUABLY STILL is, the driver of Genentech's success. But not everyone knows that Roche owns a majority stake in the biotech behemoth, as it does in Japanese powerhouse Chugai. And that's by design. Roche's management has long held that the best way to derive good and lasting results from its smaller partners is to let them do what they do best and leave them alone while they do it. That philosophy has served them well, especially when revenues of some of their codeveloped and comarketed blockbuster products are considered. Just two, Genentech's Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Chugai's Epogin (epoetin beta), have earned billions. Alliance Management The Human Side of Partnerships By Laura Judy Visioni , Larraine Segil , Stuart Kliman He potential for frustration, time-wasting, and bad feelings between pharma and biotech partners is enormous. That some successful decisions are made under these circumstances is something of a miracle.

Howdy folks,
Not sure if this has been covered or if this is posted in the correct spot but:
4.0.1 is here, and all of the changes to the way warriors work will be in effect as soon as servers are up. But, we have 2 more months before the sundering and all that jazz... My question is, has anyone done any looking into warrior dps and how builds and rotations should be used in ICC at level 80? Is fury still the way to go? Are there any builds that seem to hold up? Are there new priorities on ability uses?

In practice, however, poorly implemented competency-based programs could inadvertently increase inequity—in opportunities and in outcomes.

Karl Lagerfeld: I, me, myself
Of all the lucrative ideas the celebrated designer has dreamed up, his most important invention is himself
- Image Credit: Reuters
- German designer Karl Lagerfeld appears at the end of his Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2012/2013 fashion show for French fashion house Chanel in Paris July 3, 2012. REUTERS/Benoit Tessier (FRANCE - Tags: FASHION)
"All great fashion designers are, in the end, quite seductive. They are charismatic people," Harold Koda, chief curator of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, said to me a few months ago. That was at the launch of his exhibition about Schiaparelli and Prada, and he was talking about those two women, but the comment came back to me in Paris a fortnight ago, at the finale of the Chanel haute couture show. Supermodels were lined up shoulder-to-shoulder on the catwalk; celebrities were dotted throughout the room; and yet all eyes were on one man, a septuagenarian in a powdered wig and sunglasses.
Karl Lagerfeld is a giant of modern popular culture. "I am like a TV antenna," he told a CNN interviewer once. "I catch everything that is in the air, and then I do it my way." He brought Chanel, a near-moribund French label, back from the dead at a point when no one had pulled off such a feat before. That is, he didn't just invent Chanel as we know it: he invented the whole concept of taking a brand's heritage and converting it into something with real street value. Eight years ago, he was the very first designer to take the plunge and sell a high-street collection in his own name, at H&M, paving the way for Stella McCartney and Donatella Versace to do the same. And next time you read about a limited-edition must-have, cast your mind back to Chanel Rouge Noir nail polish, which pretty much invented that concept.
But of all the lucrative ideas Lagerfeld has dreamed up, his most important invention is himself. The persona of Karl Lagerfeld is ridiculous; deliberately so, and the closer you look, the more you get the feeling the joke is on you. (This is perhaps why Karl, each year, inches higher up the list of most popular Halloween costumes.) When he called Adele "a little bit fat" in February this year the media went into meltdown one columnist memorably commented "back off Karl, at least Adele doesn't look like an undernourished lizard in a Pat Butcher wig" but his jibe was just the latest in a long line of insults, each finely honed to create a storm. (Yves Saint Laurent was "very provincial", Princess Diana "was pretty and sweet, but she was stupid".)
Over the years, the controversial soundbite has proved a very useful publicity mechanism for Lagerfeld. He sometimes tells a story about how his mother forbade him from making childish chitchat, telling him: "You may be six years old, but I am not." From this, it seems, he learned that it can be more important to be compelling than to be nice. When you meet him in person, he is impeccably gentle, polite and well-mannered, and then occasionally he'll just throw in something shocking. He keeps his sunglasses on for maximum inscrutability, and yet his lips twitch into a smile when he is saying something particularly outrageous.
A decade ago, Lagerfeld lost 92lb in weight, because he wanted to wear the slimline menswear of Hedi Slimane. At the same time as he shrank in physical mass, his appearance became more cartoonish: more jewellery, more leather, whiter hair. It was as if he was finessing an alter ego and what superpower could be more desirable in the modern world, after all, than dramatic weight loss?
This week, fresh from photographing Victoria Beckham for the cover of French Vogue, Lagerfeld arrived in London for a store opening. Lagerfeld is not, as we have noted, a particularly shy and retiring figure, but what is significant about this visit is that it is to publicise Karl Lagerfeld rather than Chanel. This year, the man who reinvented Coco is turning the spotlight on himself. Selfridges is opening a kind of miniature World of Karl themepark, comprising new store-in-store showcases for the Karl and Karl Lagerfeld Paris collections, and a pop-up store for Team Karl, a (you guessed it) limited-edition capsule collection of graphic T-shirts featuring his image. Lagerfeld being the grand master of the 360-degree brand experience, every element of the showcase is focused: from the clothes (lots of white shirts, leather trousers and biker jackets), the lifestyle (a huge range of cases for iPhones, iPods and iPads Lagerfeld has 20 iPads and 300 iPods) to the launch event (instead of giving a female celebrity the role, Lagerfeld is the guest of honour at his own rooftop cocktail party at Selfridges).
It is tempting to think that as Lagerfeld steps into centre stage in his own right, we will get to know what he is really like. I wouldn't bet on it. Very little about his personal life is known for sure he claims to be 74, but some reports insist he is five years older. He paints his childhood as the heir to a German condensed-milk fortune as somewhere between Downton Abbey and Bletchley Park. Asked what he wanted for his fourth birthday, he requested a valet; as soon as learned to read, he began War and Peace. How much of any of this is true is anyone's guess.
Several thousand public appearances later, he is still an enigma. His is a curious mix of egotistic silliness I can vouch that the butler serving his Diet Coke in a crystal goblet is not an urban myth and unexpected pragmatism. Asked about the pressures of heading up a huge brand, a sensitive topic in fashion since the John Galliano scandal, he recently told an interviewer that "in this kind of top job, you are never the victim. You may only have overestimated yourself. Stay an independent label and battle if you have such an ego problem. But don't take other people's money and then think you are the victim."
Lagerfeld has reinvented Chanel's legacy from top to bottom "respect is not creative", he told the brand's owners and is unapologetic in declaring "what I do, Coco would have hated." And yet, at Chanel's Rue Cambon headquarters in Paris, Lagerfeld's office on the top floor is in the same room that Coco Chanel favoured. And the nameplate on the door, 41 years after Coco's death, reads "Mademoiselle". Which, once again, is Karl having the last laugh.

Justice and Law Enforcement:
Procedures To Safeguard Social Security Beneficiary Records Can Still Be Improved
HRD-81-157: Published: Sep 30, 1981. Publicly Released: Oct 30, 1981.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
In June 1978, GAO issued a report which identified security weaknesses in the protection of beneficiary records maintained in field offices under the stewardship of the Social Security Administration (SSA). GAO made nine recommendations directed toward correcting the weaknesses, and SSA began action to correct the deficiencies. Subsequently, GAO was requested to determine what actions had been taken to implement the recommendations.
As of September 1981, two of the recommendations had been implemented while the other seven were in various stages of implementation. After GAO pointed out the security weaknesses, SSA established a systems security staff which would have had the authority to implement a strong security program for maintaining beneficiary records. However, in January 1979, the systems security staff was returned to the position of having to obtain the cooperation of several SSA operating components to develop and implement an adequate security program which would protect beneficiary records.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Recommendation: The Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services should direct the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration to give priority to implementing the June 1978 recommendations.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services
Status: Closed
Comments: Please call 202/512-6100 for additional information.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Health and Human Services should direct the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA) to evaluate the current role of the systems security staff and the need for an aggressive security program to protect beneficiary records and, if deemed necessary to achieve such a security program, establish an office within SSA with the primary responsibility, capability, and authority for developing, establishing, and maintaining an aggressive ongoing security program for the protection of beneficiary records.

"Jesus was here, in this land. He spoke Hebrew," Netanyahu told Francis, at a public meeting in Jerusalem in which the Israeli leader cited a strong connection between Judaism and Christianity. "Aramaic," the pope interjected. "He spoke Aramaic, but he knew Hebrew," Netanyahu shot back. Read the rest of the story at Reuters.com.

Tyler Eifert is as right as ham on rye.
The former Dwenger star and all-world Notre Dame tight end turned down an opportunity to go to New York for tonight's NFL draft, and I like his thinking. He wants to enjoy the evening, not be under the unblinking stare of the all-seeing teevees as the picks roll past. Really, who could possibly enjoy the sight of himself reacting to being taken/not taken with a certain pick?
So, Eifert will stay home instead, surrounded by 100 or so of his friends and family. It suits his understated nature, and, frankly, it's the way pretty much everyone would prefer to enjoy one of the great nights of their young lives.
I mean, who knows a bro-hug from Roger Goodell, anyway?
