Latest Beauty Features Articles
As if the real estate mogul and reality TV star weren't ubiquitous enough, the Estée Lauder Cos. now plans to turn Trump into a beauty titan. Lauder on Thursday confirmed a deal to launch a fragrance called, simply, Donald Trump The Fragrance. It will initially be sold exclusively in Federated Department Stores doors beginning in mid-November.Stores doors beginning in mid-November.
This news confirms a WWD report that ran on Friday, Sept.17.
For those who may groan at the idea of the scent of The Donald, be forewarned: Lauder and Trump have big plans for the brand and even hint it could eventually do over $100 million in sales — and that's at the low end of Lauder's aspirations for the project, said William Lauder, chief executive officer of the Estée Lauder Cos. It could net Trump a cool $2 million a year in royalties.
Lauder has said publicly on more than one occasion that the company will only entertain new brands with the potential to ultimately reach that kind of volume. "We're exploring all our options to build this into a megabrand," said Lauder. "We all want this to be huge."
"Donald Trump has developed into a lifestyle brand — from his real estate and his hotel empires to his best-selling books and apparel," said Fabrice Weber, president of Aramis and Designer Fragrances, whose division will oversee the brand. "The fragrance is clearly a piece of that universe. We want to be number one wherever we are with this scent."
That works just fine with Trump's lofty goals for the brand: "I like to be number one," he said in an interview in his offices Thursday.
Speaking of number-one status, Trump's top-rated reality show on NBC, "The Apprentice," which draws 41.5 million viewers a week, returned to the screen for a second season on Sept. 9, and Levi Strauss & Co. has said that one task for the contestants on this season's edition will be to freshen marketing plans for the Levi's brand. Trump told WWD Thursday that he would like to issue a similar challenge to his apprentices to create a marketing plan for future additions to his beauty brand. Such a project, he said, would likely come in the show's third season.

Disruptive Behavior
A Faculty and Staff Guide to: Dealing with Disruptive Behavior
In deciding to attend the University of Arkansas, a student becomes a part of an academic community. As a part of this community, a student makes the choice to devote the necessary time and intellectual energy to ensure success in this competitive environment. The lessons that are learned at the U of A will ensure that one can face and overcome future challenges and continue to be an integral part of today's thinking society.
Instructors and students have a right to an educational environment that is supportive of the learning process. It is the responsibility of instructors to create and maintain this environment. It is the responsibility of the student to act in a manner appropriate for the classroom and adhere to behavioral standards and expectations.
This guide is designed to provide faculty and staff at the University of Arkansas with sound principles for dealing with disruptive behavior, whether occurring in the classroom or elsewhere in the university environment.
Both students and faculty members should ensure that the Principles of the University, specifically, the foundational ideas of integrity, mutual respect, inquiry, citizenship, and connection remain at the forefront of all discussions, interactions and behaviors that occur in the classroom and beyond. Our faculty and academic support services are at a students' disposal to aid them along, but the primary responsibility in guaranteeing success lies with the student.
It is important that faculty and staff become familiar with the Code of Student Life. You can access this document in the Student Handbook at the following link http://www.uark.edu/ua/uaprod/handbook/. From time to time, you may encounter a disruptive student in the classroom environment. The decisions you make will depend on your knowledge of the Code, your assessment of the level of disruption and your professional discretion.
Professors, instructors, teaching assistants, and staff should learn to address disruptive behavior for the well-being of all students affected by the behavior.
The information contained within this guide is consistent with the UA Code of Student Life. The goal behind this document is to aid you in addressing disruptive behavior in a manner that discourages future behavior while protecting the safety and integrity of the academic community.
Faculty Rights and Responsibilities:
To establish and implement academic and behavioral standards
To outline expectations, verbally and in the syllabi
To address inappropriate behavior
To involve other offices (Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs/Dean of Students (AVCSA/DOS), Office of Academic Integrity, Office of Student Standards and Conduct (OSSC), University of Arkansas Police Department (UAPD), Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) when circumstances arise
To make a determination regarding possible responses and outcomes for inappropriate behavior within that faculty member's class
Disruptive behavior may best be defined as any of the following:
Generally, disruptive behavior is any behavior that inhibits a faculty member's ability to conduct class or limits other student's ability to benefit from instruction.
Conduct, speech or activity that interferes with the learning activities of other students.
Some examples of disruptive behavior include:
Physical violence
Verbal abuse or harassment
Sexual Harassment
Use of profanity
Failing to respect others when they are expressing their viewpoints
Talking while the instructor or other students are talking
Constant questions or interruptions that interfere with classroom presentations by instructor or students
Creating excessive noise
*** Note: It is important to remember that emotional and/or mental distress, or psychological disorders are not legitimate excuses for disruptive behavior in the classroom or in an academic setting. Disability claims and accommodations should be discussed with the Center for Educational Access (CEA) at 575-3104. There are established procedures that should be followed if reasonable accommodations are required.
One way to prevent mildly disruptive behaviors from escalating to disputes, or serious acts of misconduct, is to establish classroom norms that create a civil environment. It is recommended that instructors include a statement in their syllabus to establish behavioral boundaries, which can be discussed with students the first day of class to create an understanding of behavioral expectations and allow for dialogue to address any concerns. A statement in the syllabus might read:
Classroom Behaviors
Students and instructors each have an important role in maintaining a classroom environment optimal for learning, and are expected to treat each other with respect during class, using thoughtful dialogue, and keeping disruptive behaviors to a minimum. In a recent survey on UA classroom civility*, faculty and students identified what they perceive as disruptive behavior in the classroom. Both students and faculty perceive abusive language directed towards others as the most disruptive behavior. Class discussions are interactive and diverse opinions will be shared; please be thoughtful in sharing your perspectives and responses with one another. Other behaviors that can be disruptive are chatting and whispering during class, the use of electronic equipment, reading the paper during class, preparing to leave before class is over, and consistently arriving late to class. Please keep these disruptions to a minimum. Inappropriate behavior in the classroom may result in a request to leave the class and/or a referral to the Office of Academic Integrity and Student Conduct.
Although all disruptive behavior cannot be prevented, an instructor can create an environment that may dissuade certain behaviors. Some examples that may be helpful for professors are:
Demonstrate appropriate classroom behavior through interactions with students.
Use the classroom syllabus to inform students of acceptable standards for behavior and the penalties for infractions. In addition, set clear behavioral standards at the beginning of the course. This discussion time will aid in setting the tone of the course and will aid in keeping disruptions to a minimum.
Review the information in the syllabus during class time at the beginning of the semester.
Initially, it is best to avoid singling out a specific student. Instead, direct a general word of caution to the entire class. In this way, the student may realize that the behavior is inappropriate and will not be tolerated.
Protocol for Instructors:
If a student poses an immediate threat to the safety of themselves or others contact the University of Arkansas Police Department at 911 or 575-2222.
Deal with the behavior immediately. The behavior is likely to progress if it is ignored
If you observe disruptive behavior occurring during class, make a general statement such as "Let's focus our attention on the material being discussed and discontinue any other side conversations and activities".
Do not take the behavior personally. The behavior, in most instances, has nothing to do with you. You are simply the unfortunate recipient of the behavior.
If you choose to speak with a student after class, explain why the behavior was inappropriate and inform them of all relevant behavioral expectations for continued participation in the course.
If the student's behavior is irritating but not particularly disruptive, you may choose to talk with the student after class. (Examples may include, the use of cellular phones, passing notes, etc)
If you feel uncomfortable or unsafe with a student, request that a colleague, department chair and/or member of the AVCSA/DOS staff are present at the time of the meeting.
When speaking with a student regarding inappropriate behavior, be sure to conduct these conversations in a private setting.
If it is necessary to deal with a student's behavior during class, use discretion to calmly inform the student that the behavior is disruptive and that it must be discontinued.
If the behavior continues in a future class, using discretion, ask the student to leave the classroom immediately. Following the class, the instructor should immediately contact the OSSC. The instructor should document and forward all pertinent information regarding any incidents to the OSSC If a student refuses to leave the classroom, you may choose to adjourn the class.
Be sure to keep a log of all incidents. This log should include the date, time, location, and nature of all incidents
Keep the department chair informed as a situation develops.
Save any and all inappropriate emails and document the dates of all inappropriate occurrences in the classroom.
If you believe that a student is dangerous or that a situation has the potential to escalate into a physical threat to you or other members of the University community, call the University of Arkansas Police Department at 911 to report the behavior. If you are confronted with a situation where you cannot contact the police department, please utilize the following guidelines: 1. Maintain a safe distance. Do not turn your back on the student. 2. Unless you are being physically assaulted, do not touch the student or his/her belongings. This may be interpreted as a threat. 3. Use a calm, non-confrontational approach and manner to defuse the situation. 4. If a threat of harm is present, immediately dismiss the class. Do not mention disciplinary action or police intervention. If you have already mentioned these, direct the student's attention away from the consequences of his/her behavior. Once the student has calmed down and/or has left the area, the University of Arkansas Police Department and the Office of Community Standards and Student Ethics should be contacted immediately.
Note: The Associate Vice Chancellor for Students Affairs/Dean of Students or his/her designee can remove a student from your class on an interim basis, if the behavior exhibited is continuously disruptive or represents a danger to the instructor, the student, or others.
The Code of Student Life outlines behavior that is unacceptable in an academic community. These standards are designed to aid in fostering an environment where educational growth and development and responsible citizenship can be nurtured. Students who violate the Code will face sanctions. Possible sanctions include:
University Reprimand: A University reprimand places a student on warning status through the end of the next full semester and terminates automatically when the imposed period expires.
University Censure: A University Censure is a warning similar to a University Reprimand. However, a student may be placed on a University Censure for a specified period not to exceed a student's graduation. These records are maintained seven (7) years from the date of sanction
Conduct Probation: This sanction is imposed when a student's actions are found to be serious, but not serious enough to warrant suspension or expulsion. The disciplinary authority shall indicate the length of the probationary period. A student who is placed on conduct probation is considered not to be in good standing with the University.
Suspension: Suspension involves withdrawal of enrollment privileges for a specified period of time and ordinarily carries with it conditions which must be met for re-enrollment. During the period of Suspension, the student may not come onto campus, except when specifically authorized in writing by the VP/DOS or designee.
Interim Suspension: Interim suspension is an action requiring that a student immediately leave the campus and University property, and suspending the student's participation in classes or University activities.
Expulsion: Permanent dismissal from the University.
Mandatory Psychological Evaluation: If an authorized individual has reasonable cause to believe that a student is undergoing severe emotional problems and that a student's continued presence would constitute a danger to him/herself or others, a psychological evaluation may be ordered.
Psychological Withdrawal: If withdrawal is recommended by the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services, the VP/DOS or his/her designee will withdraw the student using appropriate procedures.
Educational Sanctions: Broad arrays of educational sanctions are available to judicial officers in the Office of Community Standards and Student Ethics. Educational sanctions may range from counseling to community service. These sanctions are designed to prompt students to reflect on the violation committed and learn from the experience.

Stoke City Football club, nicknamed The Potters (named after the pottery industry in Stoke-on-Trent), is considered, the second oldest British football league club. Established in 1863 as Stoke ramblers, their first documented game was held on 1868 against EW May XV. The name changed to Stoke City Football Club in 1878 after merging with the Stoke Victoria Cricket Club and adopting the red and white-coloured uniform. Fifteen years after its birth, stoke managed to enter professional football in 1885. Their home ground became Victoria Ground and it wasn't until 1997 when they relocated to Britannia Stadium.
Stoke boasts of being one of the twelve football clubs that founded the football league in 1888. However, success does not come easy and though Stoke had won a couple of the country's primary competition, they had to wait until 1972 to clinch the league cup.
Notable Wins and Loses
Despite Stoke's lack of success, the club has had its fair share of victories. In 1972, they clinched their first silverware after beating Chelsea 2-1 in the League cup final. In 1992 and 200 marks Stoke's victorious years after clinching the league championship. Stoke had one of their greatest victories in 1914 when they let 11 goals go into Stourbridge's goal. Another notable victory is against West Bromwich Albion a rival team in 1937 with an outstanding 10-3 result. In 1926 they also got to beat Chelsea 6-2 in the League cup.
The first great defeat was suffered from Preston North End in 1889 after ten goals wen past them (The Potters). Bitter rivals Wolver Hampton Wanderers in 1890 in the FA Cup competition recorded a massive win when they let the ball hit the back of the net eight consecutive times without a response from Stoke. Chelsea also got to repay a previous defeat from The Potters with a seven nil mauling in the English premier league in 2010. They also have been victims of Liverpool's thrashing in 2000 during a league cup where they suffered an 8-0 loss.
Top Players
Stoke City Football Club boasts of legendary players like Stanley Mathews and England's World Cup Winning goal keeper Gordon Banks. As a matter of fact these players have been inducted into the City's Hall of Fame opened in 2011 to honour sporting legends.
John Ritchie still is the clubs highest goal scorer with 171 goals in 12 (between 1963 and 1975) years of service to the club. Charlie Wilson and Arthur Griffiths tie as the leading season goal scorers with 38 goals.
Stoke City's local rivals are Port Vale. They have played 46 games with stoke winning 19 and drawing12 matches. Despite being in different divisions, whenever these two clubs meet in the Potteries derby, it is always a tight and close game with very few goals being scored.
With Stoke's rise to the premier league, there was a hard fought promotion with West Bromwich Albion and as a result, rivalry with this West Midlands outfit has increased. Additionally, there also exists another rivalry with Wolver Hampton Wanderers, a West Midlands Club
Most of the supports emanates from the local Stoke-on-Trent area. However, a number of exile fan clubs in London, Scandinavia, Australia, USA and Africa cannot be ignored. Stoke's reputation had suffered a huge blow from football hooliganism in the recent past but improvements in behavior and enhanced reputation emerged after the introduction of an Away Travel ID scheme.
Now stoke fans are admired for their volatility of the clubs loyal support. They even have welcomed guests like Sugar Ray Leonard and Diego Maradona.

NSK Shipping AS, a coastal vessel operator based in northern Norway, has recently placed an order for a state-of-the-art LNG-fuelled multi purpose vessel at the Turkish shipyard, Tersan. The vessel, designed by Nordnorsk Skipskonsult AS, will be classed to DNV.
Scheduled for delivery in 2012, the general cargo vessel will enter into a long-term charter agreement with BioMar, a leading regional supplier of fish feed for the aquaculture industry. According to DNV's Harstad, Norway Station Manager, Jan Oddvar Olsen, NSK and BioMar's shared focus on improving environmental performance was a key driver to the decision to build an LNG-powered multi purpose vessel.
"The cooperation between owner and charterer in this project is a clear signal that LNG-fuelled marine transportation is increasingly seen as a viable, long-term solution to help reduce emissions," he says. "By making use of technologies and expertise available in Norway, NSK can meet the demands of the charterer while reducing the vessel's environmental impact on Norway's pristine coastline." Olsen adds that the project has received support from Norway's Næringslivets NOx-fond, a state sponsored organisation promoting emissions reductions.
The designer of the vessel, Nordnorsk Skipskonsult worked closely with DNV on design specifications. Roald Vårheim, DNV's head of ships and offshore structures in the Approval Center Norway, says that DNV's early involvement in the project allowed Nordnorsk Skipskonsult to manage the project efficiently. "DNV moved quickly to provide support on technical issues and compliance to streamline the approvals process," he says.
Tor E. Svensen, the President of DNV welcomes the project. "LNG is here to stay, and short sea shipping has been the most obvious place to start," he says, noting that ECAs have already been established in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, and will be soon enforced along the North American coastlines. "We have seen that LNG represents no technical obstacles and is more cost-effective than alternatives. Action taken by companies like NSK Shipping AS demonstrates that LNG-fuelled marine transportation is no longer an interesting concept, but an economically positive reality."

'The best place on Earth' Vancouver
Our lovely welcome to 'The best place on Earth'.
After our very long travel to Canada, we need a lie down and then some food so we went out for some fish and chips at a sport bar called Wings. Food was yummy!
Posing at the harbour
Making our way along the streets of Vancouver after Starbucks
Skyline of Vancouver from Stanley Park. Blue sky at last!
We went to see the Totem poles at Stanley Park. It looks like I have one growing out of my shoulder.
Under Lion Gate Bridge. Messing about on benches.
We went to the beach which leads onto the Pacific Ocean
We decided to explore further afield. We bought a take away pizza and found a secluded beach to eat it. The pizza was yummy, the beach was tranquil and the view was stunning.
"There's sand in my boot !"
We went to Red Bull mountain bike event, in the 2010 Winter Olympic park at Whistler.
It's was packed

10 hour Journey to Mount Rushmore
The journey down to Mount Rushmore was very long but also memorable. We made quite a few stops along the way to take some pictures and do some climbing.
The view from the car of the Badlands NP
Crossing the road like the Beatles with a long straight road ahead. Walk quicker, car coming!
The family and I at Mount Rushmore, everyone just looking a little tired
After a long day, we had our first good meal since Ames at a retro American dinner
Monday, 12 August 2013
My post today is to say that I am sorry I haven't done a blog post yet for Mt Rushmore and Yellowstone. We have been staying in a little cabin with no wi-fi, but we stopped off at a McDonalds so I could got my dose of Internet for an hour. Will be doing a blog post tomorrow so keep watching this space.

Corn, corn and more corn
Day 2 staying with our friends, Janet and Peter. Today was a shopping-free day. It was time to see some of the delights of Story County.
Setting off for our boat ride and a barbecue on the Great Creek.
Having a nice time sun bathing and soaking up the rays.
Happy family munching on yummy homemade guacamole and chips.
When we arrived back home, we experienced Smores for th first time.
The next day, we managed to squeeze in a little retail therapy before the IOWA State Fair.
Just getting started. Which stick shall I start with?
We had a close up look at some great animals.
Had to be done.
Then James and I were interviewed by Ed Wilson, chief meteorologist at who.tv. It was exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. Ed and his camera man were really friendly.
It was a really great day and we have really enjoyed our time in Iowa.

Why Anti Dumping is good for you
Your query to the Europe Direct centre in Gloucester has been forwarded to
In answer to your first point, the measures introduced by the EU are to
counter anti-competitive practices by the two states concerned, which have
been found to be harming EU shoe manufacturers. The EU is a customs union
and operates a common commercial policy, under which it acts in the
interests of any manufacturing sector (whilst also taking fully into account
those of importers, retailers and consumers) threatened by unfair subsidies
or practices, wherever they are located within the EU. In this case the
industry is concentrated in the southern part of the EU, in another case it
could be a sector of industry concentrated in the northern EU states - with
a significant concentration of manufacturers, perhaps, in your region). The
aim of the EU measures is not to penalise the imported products by making
them more expensive than their EU-produced equivalents, but to remove any
illegal subsidy that they have enjoyed (in many cases this still means that
the imported footwear remains at a significantly lower price). Only about 9%
of the shoes sold in the EU are affected by the additional duty .
Regarding your second point, the perceived benefits of the EU are a matter
for each individual. However, there are plenty of examples of EU
intervention that are beneficial to consumers, environmental protection,
anti-cartel policing, the free movement of individuals and businesses
throughout the Single Market as well as collaboration to deter crime and

Great reviews for the performances at The Rondo and at Bristol Bierkeller, 4* and 5*. Job done. Onto the next (happening in a few short weeks!) 2 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

You use diamonds to purchase new weapons and upgrades from the arms dealers.
[edit] Diamonds as Pay
When you perform tasks for the UFLL or APR you earn diamonds. The diamonds are paid in advance when you accept a mission. In Pala missions pay 20 diamonds each. By the time you reach Mosate Selao you are paid 30 diamonds per mission.
[edit] Finding Diamonds
Usually you only find diamonds in 1s and 2s in these cases, but there are 221 total briefcases in the game so this is a decent supply of cash (as well as a good easter egg style Achievement that you might want to shoot for).
[edit] Tips
- When driving try to keep your field of view such that you can see the green blink on the dash.
- Bridges: Sometimes diamonds are underneath bridges. Don't be afraid to go for these - even though you have to jump down and can't get back up the way you came, there is ALWAYS a relatively short path leading back up to the bridge where you might have parked your vehicle.
- On top of structures: Some briefcases are on top of structures. These are always accessible by finding nearby rocks, or the husks of burnt out trucks.

This recipe dates WAY back to the days when the Southern husband and I were young and carefree, spending our Saturdays browsing around antique shops and street fairs and used bookstores. We would wander here and there with our string shopping bags and not a care in the world, picking up this and that, and me being me, a lot of what we picked up were interesting cookbooks, often ones that were stacked in corners of little bookstores. This particular recipe comes from one of those books – a terrific cookbook called SIMPLY ELEGANT COUNTRY FOODS.
The price is still there, written in pencil on the inside front cover.
Let's take a closer look at that price, shall we?
Now THAT'S what I call a bargain. About five minutes ago when I started writing this post, I made a bet with the Southern husband about whether you would even be able to find this cookbook anywhere, lo these 20 years later. He said no way. I said absolutely yes.
Simply Elegant Country Foods : Downhome Goes Uptown
All I will say about THIS is that he is a gracious loser, and I am a nyah-nyah-nyah-ha-ha-ha-told-you-so type of winner. And that I just LOVE being right.
Meanwhile, back at the recipe, it is every bit as easy and simple and elegant and delicious as it was all those years ago, and as an added bonus, it involves one of my very, very favorite vegetables. (This picture may look familiar to my beloved frequent readers. I love you guys.)
And before you worry, you can and should use frozen artichoke hearts – you don't have to mess with stripping and prepping fresh artichokes. I just had this artichoke picture hanging around and I love looking at artichokes whenever possible. Anyway, besides the artichokes, the rest of the dish is a fast and simple concoction of onions, garlic, white wine, a teeny bit of tomato paste and heavy cream, and some herbs and spices, all tossed around with linguine. Perfect, simple, delicious and you get to have artichokes. Life is good.

I suspect that many will be surprised by Richard Florida's criticism of homeownership ("How the Crash Will Reshape America," March Atlantic). Maybe it's high time someone had the temerity to call this sacred cow a nightmare. There's a problem, however: renting deprives millions of Americans of a goal that, since childhood, they have been taught is—like a college education—a worthwhile and achievable one. Homeownership validates their claim to membership in a class that has a tangible stake in America.
Hosea L. Martin
Chicago, Ill.
Mark Bowden's article ("The Last Ace," March Atlantic) should have been titled "Ode to the Fighter Pilot." Mr. Bowden made no reference to the best argument against spending untold billions for a full complement of F‑22s—remotely piloted aircraft, which make up a rapidly growing and capable segment of U.S. military air power. They are much cheaper to build and operate than piloted aircraft, primarily because they have no life-support systems. They can turn and maneuver more sharply, since g-forces are of little concern. And if a remotely piloted aircraft were to be shot down, there is no pilot to rescue. If these aircraft can perform as well as or better than manned aircraft, then the days of the fighter jock should be over.
Gregory Crowell
Cooperstown, N.Y.
As a physicist, I must point out that Mark Bowden's article is plagued by a misunderstanding of the relationship between electrons and electromagnetic radiation (such as that used by radar). Electrons are not emitted by aircraft radar sets in any important quantities. If Mr. Bowden wants to write in terms of particles emitted and absorbed by radar sets, the correct particles are photons, the quanta of electromagnetic radiation.
John Caraher
Greencastle, Ind.
Mark Bowden replies:
Given the cost of combat jets, I figure just about any administration would prefer a viable, cheaper alternative that does not place pilots at risk. I suspect that unmanned fighters capable of modern air-to-air combat are in the U.S. Air Force's future, but to my knowledge, no such aircraft yet exist that can rival a piloted fighter. The F‑22, on the other hand, is fully designed, tested, and operational.
Thanks to John Caraher and the many others who corrected my high-school physics.
Paul Elie paints a sympathetic portrait of Rowan Williams ("The Velvet Reformation," March Atlantic), but he does not seem to understand Anglican history and polity very well.
Henry VIII did not found the Church of England. He simply removed it from papal jurisdiction. English Anglicans have always been careful to insist upon the continuity between their Church and that of their pre-Reformation ancestors.
Additionally, although it would be nice if Williams had been "elected easily" to the primacy of the English Church, he was chosen by Prime Minister Tony Blair from names submitted by the Crown Appointments Commission. The queen made the formal appointment. The only election was a pro forma ceremony by the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral.
John Richard Orens
Professor of History
George Mason University
Fairfax, Va.
Paul Elie misreads Archbishop Rowan Williams. When the archbishop of Canterbury says he doubts that there will be openly gay bishops in the Church of England in 10 years, he adds: "I doubt that we'll have progressed that far in our discernment process." Elie takes the quoted statement to mean "not yet," and he's confident that Williams is personally in favor of openly (and presumably noncelibate) gay bishops.
But the emphasis on Williams's individual opinion is misplaced. The emphasis should instead be placed on the phrase discernment process. Williams honestly believes that as cantuar, and as a member of the Church Catholic, he is called to participate with others in discerning the mind of the Church, responsive to the will of God.
David Hein
Professor of Religion and Philosophy Hood College
Frederick, Md.
Paul Elie replies:
No, the archbishop of Canterbury is not elected by the bishops in the sense I suggested (though the many reports of Williams's "election" confused the matter). But John Richard Orens's other point is less a point of accuracy than a piece of polemic in disguise. As it happens, there was no Church of England before Henry's. There was a church, founded in Jerusalem, centered in Rome, with adherents in the British Isles. The many points of agreement between Rome and Canterbury don't alter the fact that Henry did create something new, nor the fact that in the name of the Church of England, the Roman Catholic Church was brutally suppressed.
Scholars are always saying that journalists lack subtlety about religion, but it seems to me that David Hein willfully misses the subtlety of my article. I don't know what Rowan Williams thinks, only what he has said and written—and what he said to me in our two encounters at Lambeth Palace suggested that he would think greater openness to gay bishops a good thing. The quote at the end of the article bears this out: he, not I, spoke of gay bishops in terms of progress. My own view is that we shouldn't have to guess—that the effort to discern what the archbishop of Canterbury thinks complicates the church's effort to discern the right way forward about homosexuality. So I ended the piece by proposing that Williams should say what he thinks more forthrightly.
I was very happy to learn that Virginia Postrel's health-insurance company paid $60,000 for her Herceptin treatments ("My Drug Problem," March Atlantic). But who really paid for these treatments? Her co-insureds or her employer.

Happy New Year Guys and Dolls!! Really truly it's been too long. Hopefully now that our new year is underway I can once again begin to bring you the latest news in pop culture. To open the new year I would like to give an awaited review of Beyonce's new self entitled 5th cd: Beyonce. Like all of Beyonce enthusiasts no one knew this project was going to be released. I received an alert from Apple iTunes informing me of the new cd release. I jumped at the opportunity to purchase and download the material. Boy was I surprised. The project not only came with new material from the 'Queen' herself but, the download came with video's for each song! I couldn't figure what to do first–Watch or Listen!
I decided to watch all of the video's….I remained in awe for almost 2 hours of straight action packed, sexy, fun-filled music, coupled with moving works of art. I refuse to say this is Beyonce's best project because all of her projects are the best. What I can say about the music and the video's with this project is that they are raw, uninhibited, sexual, sexy, and some have said "quite the answer to Madonna's: Erotica cd." I absolutely concur. Beyonce is done being looked at for her commercial appeal. The project screams independence on every level: business woman, mogul, mom, sex kitten, wife, songwriter, and artist. No holds barred. Beyonce has arrived on this project but not as an artist but more as connoisseur. She has perfected her craft. Beyonce who is still performing on the Mrs. Carter Tour found time to write an astonishing 72 new songs! It takes me time to write 1 new article, 72 songs? There were stores such as Target and Best Buy that refused to sell the cd, why? Because Mrs. Carter refused to play the marketing and promotional game that so many music retailers rely upon for dollars. The cd was exclusive for digital iTunes and she crashed their system within hours of sales. Royal!
I wish I had the time to sit and give an analysis of each song but in my opinion it's not necessary. Do I have a favorite track? No! Have you ever been to a fashion show to see a designer present his collection? This is the way in which her cd "flows" it's like Marc Jacobs showing his Fall collection–1 piece flows into the next. One song fits perfectly on her cd with the next. As a writer, this is the only analogy I can give. Perfection. And just like the end of a fashion show the audience stands to their feet and gives an ovation to the designer, this is how you feel after hearing the music.
Bey, I give you 5 stars for your 5th cd and with 72 songs written–we can look forward to music for years to come. Bey makes me so proud to be a woman and extremely proud of her art/work ethic. I can't wait to hear and see what could be next…

Safety Tips for Holiday Football Games
THURSDAY, Nov. 28, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Pick-up football games are a Thanksgiving tradition for many people, but they can lead to injuries if you're not careful, an expert says.
"Playing in a Turkey Bowl is a great way to get some exercise and burn off those pumpkin pie calories," Dr. Pietro Tonino, program director of sports medicine at the Loyola University School of Medicine, said in a university news release. "But make sure you play smart to stay safe."
Tonino, who also is a professor in Loyola's orthopedic surgery and rehabilitation department, offered the following tips to reduce the risk of injury:
Don't tackle. Play touch or flag football instead.
Warm up by jogging, running in place or doing jumping jacks for a few minutes before the game. Then slowly and gently stretch, holding each stretch for 30 seconds.
Don't wear cleats. There's a risk that they'll cause your foot to be stuck in one position while the rest of your body is moving in a different direction, resulting in an injury. Wear gym shoes instead.
Wear a mouth guard. They cost just a few dollars and can save hundreds of dollars in dental bills.
Wear loose-fitting clothes, such as sweats. This will make it easier for your body to move and reduce your injury risk.
Remember your age. If you're 40, don't try to play like you're still 20.
Don't drink alcohol before or during your Turkey Bowl.
If you get hurt, stay on the sidelines until symptoms go away completely. Before returning to the game, make sure you have no pain or swelling and have normal strength and a full range of motion.
When the game is over, remember to stretch. This will help reduce muscle soreness the next day.

Dealers, distributors and repair garages that take core management seriously do well, and those who don't take it seriously don't do as well. It is as simple as that, according to Dave Clark, manager of consulting at Karmak. Don't do it well, and a profit opportunity could turn into a profit drain.

Entasis, the Greek word for tension, manifests itself in the practice's work in what they see as a tension between ideas and physical construction. The building for them is a means of architectural expression, able to educate and manipulate thoughts and emotions, not just a functional shelter. Giving space priority over surface decoration they use light, texture, rhythm, acoustics and proportion to create vibrant spaces with the power to move the spirit.
The aim is 'to give form to the Utopian vision of classic modern man', and their work is firmly grounded in what has gone before, particularly Renaissance and Modernist architecture.
Entasis is an internationally acclaimed small architectural practice keeping professional standards high. In 2006 they received national recognition with the 'Eckersberg Medal' and the 'Margot & Thorvald Dreyers Prize', both among the finest Danish destinctions. Their first building (the Zoo entrance) was awarded with the AIA Prize 'Best Building in Europe 1998'. Since then most of their implemented work has received awards and recognition, and a couple of projects ('Kildeskovshallen' and 'The Defence Academy') have been nominated for the prestigious Mies van der Rohe Prize.
Winning the open international Carlsberg competition marks their latest achievement in a number of successful competition entries counting,
The entrance to the Zoological Gardens, Copenhagen, 1996
3 family houses for The Danish Arts Foundation, Vejle, 1998
'Kildeskovshallen', a new 50 m pool, Gentofte, 2000
The Defence Academy, new tuition facilities, Copenhagen, 2000
124 houses, a housing-cooperative in Trekroner, 2002
A new building for the Parish Council, Riga, 2003
'Emaljehaven, social housing, Copenhagen NV, 2004
'50+', social housing in Ørestad, Copenhagen, 2005
The New Carlsberg City District, a 33 ha site in Copenhagen, 2007
'Spinderiet', social housing, Valby, 2008
A series of appointed work for private owners conclude the portfolio of the office.
From a humanistic perspective the office handles all scales of architecture (from doorknob to city planning) where the human scale and the wellbeing of man is the concern of any project. Christian and Signe Cold founded Entasis in 1996 as a professional architectural unit revering the presence of History, Humanism and the ability to move.

Ballbearing company. Nice boring necessity. As long as we have machinery we'll need bearings. Love the symbol too... how appropriate ;-)
Woooooo, very very cool. Nothing is as cool as a totally boring business. For the moment P/E is a bit too high for me, but I will keep this on the watchlist.

A Guide for Assessing Strategic Training and Development Efforts in the Federal Government (Exposure Draft) (Superseded by GAO-04-546G)

(202) 512-4800
This publication has been superseded by GAO-04-546G, Human Capital: A Guide for Assessing Strategic Training and Development Efforts in the Federal Government, March 2004. This guide introduces a framework, consisting of a set of principles and key questions that federal agencies can use to ensure that their training and development investments are targeted strategically and are not wasted on efforts that are irrelevant, duplicative, or ineffective. Effective training and development programs are an integral part of a learning environment that can enhance the federal government's ability to attract and retain employees with the skills and competencies needed to achieve results for the benefit of the American people. Training and developing new and current staff to fill new roles and work in different waqys will be a crucial part of a federal government's endeavors to meet its transformation challenges. Ways that employees learn and achieve results will also continue to transform how agencies do business and engage employees in further innovation and improvements.
This guide consists of three sections. The first section provides an overview of the four components of the training and development process: (1) planning/front-end analysis, (2) design/development, (3) implementation, and (4) evaluation. The second section of this guide includes key questions to consider when assessing each of the four components of an agency's training and development questions ask, for example, how the agency identifies the appropriate level of investment to provide for training and development efforts and prioritizes funding so that the most important training needs are addressed first (planning/front-end analysis). In looking at how agencies assess the extent to which their training and development efforts contributed to improved performance and results, and guide asks about the extent to which the agency systematically plans for and evaluates the effectiveness of its training and development efforts (evaluation). The third section of this guide summarizes our observations on the core characteristics that make a training and development process effective and strategically focused on achieving results. These characteristics include, for example, ensuring stakeholder involvement throughout the process and effectively allocating resources to maximize training investments.

NBA Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs Game 4 Update
Anticipate the unforeseen.
Regardless of having 3 games of evidence to peruse, that's the only consistent trend the 2013 NBA Finals has yielded up until now.
The Miami Heat were supposed to be in rhythm from the outset of the collection in Game 1– to have their sights locked in on their 2nd Larry O'Brien Trophy in as numerous periods. The San Antonio Spurs, meanwhile, were supposed to be corroded, with just movie study and session to hold them over throughout a nine-day layoff.
However San Antonio needed merely three quarters to find its stride and used a 23-16 fourth-quarter advantage to a 92-88 win.
What has taken place over the eight quarters of play given that just resists explanation.
The Warmth ran to a game-changing 33-5 run in the second half of Game 2, a rise that included all of 90-plus secs of activity for Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and evened up the series with a 103-84 triumph. In Game 3, it was the Spurs that were the named beneficiaries of some unlikely contributions, as Danny Green and Gary Neal blended for 51 points and 13 of San Antonio's record-setting 16 3s.
So what's following for the best 2 groups in the organization?
Miami may not be ready to call Game 4 a must-win, yet history states that's precisely what it is. No team has climbed from a 3-1 opening in the NBA Finals, and San Antonio hasn't given any kind of indicator that it would be the first team to hand out that type of an advantage.
Can the Warmth discover a method to make this a three-game collection in Game 4, or are the Spurs on the verge of completing the franchise's fifth title?
In an affirmation free from any sort of public-relations spin, NBA commissioner David Stern hailed this competition as probably "the most anticipated Finals in, that knows, 30 years," throughout his pre-finals press conference, by means of The Washington Post. With a strongly enhanced, very talented trio on each roster, this certain appeared like it would certainly be a superstar skirmish for the times.
Generally, though, it's been anything yet. There have been a couple of glimpses of the Hall of Fame skill sets at play in this collection (Tony Parker's miraculous stiletto in Game 1, LeBron Brian' third career finals triple-double on the same evening), but for one of the most component, these very first three games have actually been determined by the durability of the assisting casts.
Miami does not have a leg to base on at this point without the 41 incorporated points from Mario Chalmers, Radiation Allen and Chris Andersen in Game 2. The Spurs dealt the Heat the third-worst finals beat in organization history in Game 3, regardless of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili shooting an integrated 10-of-23 from the industry.
Soon, that trend will begin to give way to ability.
Possibly James lastly decides he can no longer afford to keep accepting his teammates. Possibly he'll choose that as opposed to responding to San Antonio's defensive pressure, he'll force it to adapt to his own aggression.
San Antonio has seen a higher return from its Huge Three, however whether or not that continues to hold true might be determined by Parker's health going forward. He strained his best hamstring during Game 3 and is formally noted as daily.
The Spurs have actually built their decade-plus empire on the toughness of their depth, yet Parker is the one in charge of making all the different pieces match. He punished Miami for a game-high 21 factors in the collection opener, and the plain risk of his seepages have liberated San Antonio's shootings to fire at will since.
Thinking Gary Neal does not have an additional 24-point episode in him (not specifically a stretch considering his previous playoff-high was 14), Parker's absence might be sufficient to align the collection.
The truth that a previous Cleveland Cavalier has become the very best player of this collection surprises nobody. Yet not also Danny Environment-friendly themselves pictured he 'd be that player.
It's not just the reality that much less than three years ago his NBA future was significantly at risk after he was waived by Cleveland. Yet it's the way that a one-trick horse has separated themselves from a group of functional celebrities.
Eco-friendly's a spacer in every sense of the word, raining down 3s when needed but usually offering his best value by pulling defensive focus far from his teammates.
With a blistering three-point stroke (69.6 percent in the series), he merely keeps handling more offensive obligation. And he's absolutely making best use of on those increased possibilities, leading the Spurs in racking up in each of the Games 2 (17 points) and 3 (27).
Include some stellar protective play (1.3 blocks and 1.0 takes per game up until now), liking area obligation on Brian, and a dedication to San Antonio's teamwide approach on the glass (3.3 rebounds each game) from Environment-friendly, and it's not difficult to argue that he's been the most impactful player through the finals thus far.
That mind-boggling fact regarding Miami's capacity to recuperate after a reduction has garnered plenty of conversation in this postseason, and for good reason– five months without back-to-back reductions is fairly the achievement.
However exactly what that variety fails to capture is how mediocre the Heat have actually looked of overdue. Miami is merely 5-5 in its last 10 games and has actually now gone virtually a month without back-to-back victories (Might 13-15).
San Antonio hasn't already went down consecutive games this postseason, and Tuesday's beating operated its playoff document to 14-3. The Spurs are plainly coming to a head at the correct time and now need merely two wins in 4 games to be crowned champs for the 5th time given that 1999.
It's always difficult to bet against the Master, particularly when he's coming off a frustrating reduction, but I'm not convinced that his colleagues can do sufficient even if he erupts for one more among his prevailing performances.
So, despite Parker's standing up in the air (can't think your man not playing by the way), I believe San Antonio just could be getting ever before closer to placing this collection to rest.

Filming Underway On GMC TV's Reality-based Original Series "Family Addition With Leigh Anne Tuohy"
ATLANTA, March 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- GMC TV has started production in Los Angeles on its World Premiere Original Series "Family Addition with Leigh Anne Tuohy." Produced by Tremendous! Entertainment, this inspirational and compelling series will follow different families every episode as they make the ultimate commitment to open up their hearts and add a new member or members to their family. The series will make its world television premiere on GMC TV in June.
Hosted by Leigh Anne Tuohy, the real-life inspiration behind the blockbuster film The Blind Side which earned Sandra Bullock an Academy Award® for Best Actress, "Family Addition with Leigh Anne Tuohy" will feature families as they go through the practical, physical and emotional process of adding a new family member and make over part of their homes to accommodate the new addition. Tuohy will provide the series' creative vision and oversee the home improvement projects for each episode. "Family Addition" will also feature Team Tuohy, which includes the insight of Tuohy's daughter, Collins Tuohy, a noted inspirational speaker and co-owner of Whimsy Cookie Company, a boutique cookie company; and Special Educator " Miss Sue" Mitchell (the character played by Kathy Bates in The Blind Side), each providing support to families in unique ways as they transition into their new family situation. And as is Leigh Anne's get-it-done-style, don't be surprised who else may show up as needed to help get the project completed.
"There are so many unsung heroes in communities across America who demonstrate unconditional love and support by taking on the responsibility of fostering and then adopting children in their care," says Tuohy. "These are life changing, emotional situations that can be overwhelming. In 'Family Addition' we help to break down walls if necessary to help families deal with the changes they experience and to help ensure that ultimately each child has an opportunity to have a family and a place where they feel loved, valued and accepted."
